battlefield-2042

[tight basin]

i have an i5 11400F

[chilly jacinth]

and if the game is installed on an HDD it will be even worse

[tight basin]

which should be enough to run the game atleast on the lowest graphics settings

[tight basin]

its installed in an ssd

i also have a lot of input lag and most things doesnt load when i spawn in

[elfin void]

Temps?

[tight basin]

i never checked my temps while playing

[merry heart]

One shot, one kill amirite

[brittle wind]

I should use HC servers sometime to farm Glock T1 🥶

I'm glad most snipers don't know the optimal scopes, otherwise game would be unplayable

[chilly jacinth]

Most of em can barely hit anything anyways

[quartz canopy]

wdym "optimal scope"

it just depends on far u are from the target

the farther away the bigger scope you put on

[rain violet]

They're referring to scopes that don't present obvious glint to give away positioning and threat.

[dreamy mason]

He cdan

[eternal flame]

Ho ho

[pearl swallow]

Hi*

[dreamy mason]

up for a game

[pearl swallow]

lol

[dreamy mason]

Sry guys we are new ,just come from ts3 ,,:)

[eternal flame]

And old

[pearl swallow]

We are old

[dreamy mason]

you older

[naive ember]

[safe nova]

[surreal cloud]

cade os br fecha squad

só maquina de capa

[junior prairie]

Hey hey!

[naive magnet]

Who do you guys think the optimal specialist is for farming throwing knife kills?

I’m leaning towards Blasco, have thought about dozer though

[vital quail]

You can use tugs as recon to help

[naive magnet]

Yeah I just think the shield bait isn’t great since switching takes too long

[red wedge]

пу пу пу

[echo yew]

mfw frontlines is dead

[naive magnet]

Noticeable drop in players compared with a couple months ago

[wooden dust]

Sundance for throwing knife kills

You get the drop on them

[open cliff]

anybody else getting full ai lobbies

[echo yew]

Rush chaos sucks lmao

[open cliff]

shi ass

[naive ember]

[naive ember]

Better than hardcore BT

[warped fractal]

Hardcore BT was so fun lol

[brittle wind]

Dozer

FNB is Frontlines XL 😍

[oak canyon]

im about to get my first t1 badge

:3

[brittle wind]

Which gun or gadget or operator?

[oak canyon]

the p90

im at 1,023/1,200

[brittle wind]

RPT, PKP or LCMG, which LMG is better?

[kindred flint]

pkp is pretty hard to argue with

but upgraded rpt slaps

[tough fjord]

I prefer the LCMG

[tough fjord]

I've got that, but not the pp-2000

Haven't even decided to unlock it

[oak canyon]

the p90 is my favorite smg

in all of media

[next onyx]

It's a really cool gun.

[tardy kestrel]

are servers down?

[rain violet]

LCMG best all around, RPT is pretty nuts, and Avancys is a good choice for mid-long ranges since it's easy to build acc on it.

The fact you can put a master key on the LCMG alone though means it's insane in most use cases.

[cedar needle]

Is anyone else having connection problems with the game rn?

[orchid tusk]

i get dropped from servers a lot in the last, i dont know, few weeks or so. not sure the cause

[tranquil lion]

I was warping a lot for a few minutes, don't know if that was me or the game

[blissful solstice]

RPT with standard ammo, short barrel, bi pod, and red dot is OP lol

[ornate sorrel]

Is the beta testing over? I’d like to try and play it if possible.

[acoustic seal]

2042's been in beta for 3 years and shows no signs of a full release anytime soon, go nuts

[orchid tusk]

yeah i had 2 or 3 really big spikes too earlier.

[craggy spoke]

Has the game gotten better?

Don't own it myself

[craggy oxide]

I'd say play it during a free week

[vital quail]

Wow another condor pilot who doesn't know how to switch fly modes

Every fucking time

On renewal 128 it wasn't even above A yet before the other team had our B flag

[vital quail]

Still won by 500 tho

Shoutout to my 18 caps

[craggy oxide]

I got a good match despite losing

but holy shit it took like hours

[olive monolith]

Finally got some good settings

Racking kills more easier but why am I missing something.

[topaz solar]

Any good settings for Xbox?

Or is it kind of up to personal preference?

If I had the game on pc I would probably be better at flying jets and helis

Flying on controller is literally so hard for me I always crash and stuff

[naive ember]

Personal preference for sure

[past halo]

Anyone on ps5 wheeling to help earn the clean exit trophy?

[nova fog]

When we going to be able to play battlefield labs

[craggy oxide]

is there a reason why some people bail their tanks/LAV

knowing it could be stolen

normally if I gotta bail, I scuttle the tank itself or rig it with slams before leaving it for the enemy to take and maybe get trolled

[spring ibex]

You're thinking tactically, they don't.

[craggy oxide]

sometimes it's funny to see the enemy blindly driving the tank I purposely left behind, especially when I rig it with slams then pretend I'm repairing it

giving the illusion that they got a free tank

[spring ibex]

Haha that's great stuff

[craggy oxide]

then the next thing they see is a kill cam

from a deadman

not exactly a good strategy if you're wasting tanks but a fun meme strat

works with LAV

but it's even more effective if you use an AA

AAs are probably your team's best asset next to the tank

those who control the AA, controls the skies

having 2 is overkill

[spring ibex]

yeah

AA does much better in BF2042

was usually a struggle trying to down any ace pilots in BF4

sorry edited that

[topaz solar]

Why is it so hard to fly heli and jet on console

Like when I aim in to shoot people I can’t even hover etc it decides to go to fast to the right or left etc and I crash

[languid tulip]

Thats right. But there is youtuber called flexlanes. He is so skilled that he maneuvers the heli upside in tunnels. Also getting high kills

[topaz solar]

Ok but is there any good settings lol

[rugged badge]

I get why AEK is locked behind the AK kills

This rifle is just straight disgusting

[brittle wind]

AK is arguably the worst rifle in the game honestly 😭

High recoil and slow TTK

I think they forgot to add short barrel

[chilly jacinth]

What

High recoil?

[brittle wind]

Higher than pretty much any of the other ARs

[chilly jacinth]

I would agree if you said AEK

But AK hell nah

[brittle wind]

AEK has high recoil but fast TTK
AK has high recoil and slow TTK

[chilly jacinth]

[brittle wind]

SFAR is easier to control, M5 is easier to control, AK5C is easier to control, RM is easier to control etc.

416 is the 2nd worst AR and has a vastly better damage model

[spare quest]

Ak high recoil? what are you smoking

[brittle wind]

It has high recoil relative to others

[spare quest]

lmao

[brittle wind]

Might be first shot recoil too

[fervent goblet]

Was the only gun I used in BF3 & BF4 and was able excited when I saw it in 2042

[spring ibex]

I stuck with the M5

[frozen hollow]

More hardcores
We should be able to shoot our own teammates
People tends to be more carefully aim and shoot.
Make this game great again 👍

[spring ibex]

friendly fire enabled?
I would agree, along with a vote kick system for abuse

[boreal hare]

just remove 3d spotting and magical floating triangles

[frozen hollow]

Feels like playing DOOM in normal...

[prisma meteor]

Does anyone else here run the game in epic launcher?

[rugged badge]

I mean…. It doesn’t matter which launcher you have it, the game will force you to open and use the EA App

You can boot it directly from there

[prisma meteor]

But it will require Epic to be open too ?

[rare egret]

i finally got mine fixed yesterday, use these settings AIRCRAFT
/ HELICOPTER controls - Southpaw Buttons- Alternate. under global controls INVERT VERTICAL FLIGHT- Aircraft ON , under controller - vehicles - helicopter control assists- OFF, and lastly 3p Aircraft Camera Roll- OFF ( btbh not sure what that does but in anycase flying is awesome now) hope this helps... feels alot like BF4 but everyone has their own preference too, im also one to change immediately to Alternate for on foot controls becuase i feel melee as O and to toggle scope is easier than jamming right stick and makes sense to crouch with stick

[woven path]

It will start the game with epic then will start the EA app and then launch BF

[prisma meteor]

So it's worth it? it's the only store with discounts

[woven path]

Depend the discount haha

But i prefere to buy it directly from EA so i can close all that shit in background

[rugged badge]

Think so, because it still opens Steam on background

[prisma meteor]

Me too but it doesn't have any discount. also EA app is probably the worst there is

[rugged badge]

But yea, I plan to buy the next BF on either EA app or Steam

[rugged badge]

Its still better than Ubisoft’s app

[woven path]

EA app is great

Okay got lot of trouble for old game like mirror edge

[prisma meteor]

EA app doesn't have basic stuff tbh

[rugged badge]

EA App is actually fine, and it doesn’t break down as much as Origin did

[woven path]

What did you call basic stuff ?

I mean you can buy and start games

And no fps loss cause of steam open

[rugged badge]

Maybe like a review system?

If so then I understand

[prisma meteor]

choose downloading speeds. Transfer games like steam can. etc

[woven path]

These features are unknowed from most of steam user haha, that's not what i'd call "basic"

But yeah you can't do that on EA

[rugged badge]

Limiting/changing download speeds, I can agree but transfer games is something not everyone uses

[prisma meteor]

Well i did. and had to redownload the game

[rugged badge]

Yea, but again I dont really expect the addition of a feature that not many people even know

[woven path]

And you can use external app to reduce other app network usage

Like on Windows Netlimiter wich is native on windows

Also you can easily relocate EA games without the app

[rugged badge]

OK I found my favorite rifle

GEW-46

[brittle wind]

GEW is good

I T1'd SFAR, AK5C, M5A3 and VHX

I won't be playing with some ARs for a while because of that lol

I will grind some of the LMGs instead

[naive ember]

EA is great.

[woven path]

True

[stray parcel]

NO

[naive ember]

Did you like the half time show bud?

[stray parcel]

what does that even mean

[naive ember]

[haughty shell]

[rugged badge]

He doesn’t know

[rare egret]

hahaha i had to change the channel

[remote kiln]

that doesn't matter

it is true that the EA app does not have basic features that steam does, controller support is the biggest one, nevermind 15 other things

[dense dock]

oi

[granite bronze]

Welcome to the club!

[rare egret]

i need to unlock that one...

[rugged badge]

Do you guys suggest I go to a Conquest with server browser or normal matchmaking?

[rugged badge]

Its a good gun

[brittle wind]

Server browser has masteries and XP disabled so normal matchmaking

[rugged badge]

I see

[prisma whale]

anyone agree stealth heli needs ( Little buff ) as it to weak ?

[desert sonnet]

.

[rugged badge]

I need to learn how to fly the vehicles

Maybe I should host a small server to learn

[runic glacier]

I watch a youtuber showing you how to fly helis an kinda get the hang of it

[rugged badge]

I mean I know how to “fly” I just wanna get better

And not look like a headless chicken

[hazy viper]

Randomly played for an hour during the lunchtime today and...
...the sheer number of players utilizing silenced LMGs with infra scope on Mackay, hence mowing down the oppo from unrealistic places 🤮

[chilly jacinth]

Thermals aren't even good

[winged zenith]

Some have full xp and full mastery pn portal atleast

[obsidian zinc]

guys...

a question:

what's that yellow square that comes up sometimes?

I know the answer.

but I'm curious how many of you do too.

[kindred flint]

it means ignore the vehicle

[naive ember]

No you don't

[brittle wind]

How to build LCMG for long range?

[rocky gust]

Firstly you change it to the LCMG, and fire at targets at long range

Secondly, you equip the svk and identify it as an lcmg

Problem solved

[naive ember]

They're coming for you bud

EA don't play

[molten sandal]

I do

[naive ember]

Prove it

[brittle wind]

SVK is so cheesy

I like LMGs in 2042 but they seem to be close range focused

Rather maybe LCMG is, I will try PKP later on for long range engagements

[naive ember]

If that's how you feel why are you here?

[elfin void]

Isn't the 3 squares packet loss or smth

[rain violet]

SVK is 100% cheese, one of the dumbest most unbalanced guns they ever designed.

If you want range the M60E4 and Avancys can do decently out to distance. As long as you don't try and contest snipers with that atrocious strafe speed you're good.

[chilly jacinth]

It's a blessing that basically no one uses the SVK

[brittle wind]

Most likely designed by people who designed ZH29 in BFV

[rain violet]

Try NA servers where no one has any shame, you get people hard maining just thermal SVK and stacking in TDM with medics

[chilly jacinth]

TDM though

why even play that

[rain violet]

I use it as a nice way to warm up and just run shit down for a bit. It's usually good until the level 30 accounts with 99% HS accuracy or the shameless 4 stacks decide to just cheese some spot and refuse to budge show up

Plus the close quarters CQ servers can have a lot of bots depending on the time of day, TDM actually stays populated.

[chilly jacinth]

That's surprising since TDM is terrible in this game

[granite island]

The year is 2025

And people still don't know how to change the condor mode

And crash the condor

[chilly jacinth]

Yep there's still plenty of newbie pilots

[autumn scroll]

Ntw50 guys. This howitzer deal 20 dmg to helicopter, 15 to ebaa and APC and EBLC ram, also it does oneshoot on 30-100 meters depends on ammo, and it means it is a srealth rpg vs any fast units. Its imba killer. Soflam goes oldy box

I dont imagine how three falck with ntw50 will play in the squad

[rain violet]

I mean most modes are terrible for different reasons.

It's 2042 I'm not having fun either way

[autumn scroll]

Too many people on too clean maps

Plaing max 48 in vietnam map is pretty balanced

Plaing 64 or 1337 players at single capture point becomess nonstop born to die gameplay. Since all the shooters gives same experience ignoring that is bad for mental health, it may be order from business lobby

[rocky gust]

Nonstop born to die only applies if you take the idea of PTFO literally and just die like a bot everytime

People that throw themselves into objectives and go 17-38 is not ptfo

Thats just called being a meat shield

Finding a flank route to start pressuring enemies into the objective then wiping them to take it is the right approach

[uneven needle]

Yeah but problem is the flank routes are super limited and open in all 2042 maps

[rocky gust]

Agreed. Hence the dogshit map design issues are even more relevant

But with how braindead the 2042 playerbase is, most times some smokes and a good push is all it takes

[uneven needle]

Exactly

That’s the other issue, if you do want to PTFO it’s very rare to find people who understand that smoke is cover and essential in open maps

[rocky gust]

Worst part is people that use smoke on THEIR OWN TEAM

They just block the entire sightline

Ive seen this happen way too much in games

[hushed lark]

the paik players who smoke the flag are the worst

[rocky gust]

Oh god kill those rats

[chilly jacinth]

Meh spotting is op so smokes don't really do anything

[uneven needle]

Yes, it all comes back to map design. You shouldn’t need a squad of smokes to push anything

[rocky gust]

The fact that i use literally smokes on any class that has it is proof of bad map design

[hushed lark]

I love my AT grenade but smokes are pretty much mandatory

[uneven needle]

Agreed

[rocky gust]

And their rework was..

Not even a rework

Add crates sandbags

Change obj locations a bit

Nothing else

[shadow ravine]

I use smokes to revive teamates

[rocky gust]

Even as a medic, you’d serve better to smoke the enemies

Because you provide visual obstruction so people will be more hesitant to go through it

So you can revive more peacefully

[uneven needle]

Yep

[rocky gust]

If you smoke the dude directly that youre gonna res

[west knoll]

Who wanna play battlefield 4?

[rocky gust]

People shoot exactly at the center of the smoke

[hushed lark]

smoking the downed teamate works better when there are multiple enemies bc you can't smoke all of them

[rocky gust]

And you catch those rounds

^ its all situational but

If its 1-2 angles

Its better to smoke them

But if it has like fuck all angles

Then yeah smoking near the downed players helps more

[shadow ravine]

Never thought of it that way. Good point

[uneven needle]

Their is no perfect scenario but the point is needing so much smoke to do anything is bc of map design, which is upsetting

[chilly jacinth]

Playerbase ain't really that smart to actually take note of where people are in the smoke

[rocky gust]

I usually play in cqb conquest and infy bt

[chilly jacinth]

You're doomed if you're spotted though

[rocky gust]

Where the tryhards live

[shadow ravine]

So say your capturing a base, where would you throw the smokes at? Cuz you need to see where the enemy is headed or don't throw smokes at all? Or just cover one side?

[rocky gust]

Its hard to say a definitive answer

[chilly jacinth]

Nowhere

Cause im gonna win the inevitable gunfight 9/10 times

[rocky gust]

But basically lets say the enemies spawn near the north of the obj. Then they usually have 3 paths to take: front left and right

Most players just sprint forward and RAHHH

I would honestly look at the position of my teammates first, if some people are going right side then ill take left flank

[shadow ravine]

Ig it all depends if the players know what they're doing

[winged spindle]

what a stupid question. imagine boycotting something because theres something you dont like. your life must be boring as hell

one can love Battlefield and its devs, and still dislike the publisher

life isnt black and white @naive ember

[rocky gust]

It usually comes down to awareness really

[tepid wharf]

Lamo

[rugged badge]

I want to ask to vets that why Conquest is filled the sweatiest people you will ever see on this planet?

[rocky gust]

Define sweaty tho

[daring hinge]

Looking for a good hard-core conquest with full unlocks help would be appreciated

[hushed lark]

isn't conquest the most popular mode?

[rugged badge]

Slide spam, weird angles and tbagging on your corpse style sweaty

[rocky gust]

People that are just decent at the game mechanics should not be called sweats but if they spam nothing but mackay and pp29

Sliding is a part of gaming mechanic and a really good tool

[chilly jacinth]

Haven't seen tbagging in ages

[rugged badge]

Yea it is, but these mfs use it like COD Slide Spam

[rocky gust]

Well, cant blame the player, blame the devs LMAO

[rugged badge]

Oh and thermal PP19’s with suppressors

[rocky gust]

I would have preferred a toned down slide with cooldowns and focus on air strafing mechanics like bf4

[shadow ravine]

I be jumping and sliding to dodge and try to kill my enemy. Is that considered sweaty?

[hushed lark]

the sweats I hate are the ones who wait in the deploy screen until they can get back into the vehicle they just lost

[rocky gust]

Oh yeah thats gross

[rugged badge]

Either I am shit at this game or these people are just unemployed

[chilly jacinth]

Both

[rugged badge]

Those are vehicle campers

[rocky gust]

Oh no those aren’t sweats. Those are just skillless cheese farmers

[chilly jacinth]

[rugged badge]

Most probable case

As I am only level 40

[hushed lark]

ngl there should be a 5+ minute cooldown on deploying into the same vehicle class

[shadow ravine]

The people who are good with aircraft tho...

[rocky gust]

Honestly vehicles would not be too much of an issue if the mechanics werent so shallow

[hushed lark]

like if I can kill one player 3-4 times out of one vehicle in the same round it is just too much

[void raven]

Please make a better physics system. The old one needs work, those jank scripted death animations are not great - let's do some realistic ragdolls like old school BF!

[rocky gust]

Everyones been there

Part of the game is leveling and learning what works for you

[rugged badge]

Though I do know that I am shit at this game, it sometimes becomes unfun when you get spawnkilled by the same 6 guys who use thermal suppressed PP19’s back to back whenever I want to spawn on a captured point

Constantly

[rocky gust]

knowing is half the battle

always remember that even the "sweats" will have a harder time if you learn how to stay in cover

[plush echo]

Any map that is not close quarters it’s just snipers camping lol

[rocky gust]

i am no reaction speed god, in fact my reaction is slow af so i kinda like the flanks since its more chill

the whole jump into obj and slide spam with pp29 is fun at times but im too old to perform that every round

[shadow ravine]

Then you get killed by an enemy flanker that you didn't see

[rocky gust]

well if that happens thats my lack of awareness so no one to blame really

[rugged badge]

It might be fun, but it gets really annoying when you die to that guy who does it 9 times in a row because you were stuck on getting off the zipline animation

[rugged badge]

Like I can see him, but I can’t act because my character is getting off the zipline

[plush echo]

pp-29 is alright but let’s not overrate it

[rugged badge]

And the dude is staring to me

[rocky gust]

pp29 isn't like 1v1 god

good for farming

[plush echo]

Pbx kinda good in a 1v1 face off

[rocky gust]

yeah its still really good

[shadow ravine]

I noticed that they added a new tank vehicle and to me it's a better version of the RAM.

[rocky gust]

god i hate the ram

[plush echo]

LMGs are easily the best for farming lol

[chilly jacinth]

RAM outclasses the BMP and Bradley

[shadow ravine]

Exactly

[rocky gust]

lol the avancys days

i used to abuse the avancys mackay combo

[hushed lark]

the ram is great but it's also not too bad to take out

[rocky gust]

it was just so dumb because i had no issue challenging snipers at their optimal ranges

a couple decent engineers and they can do good work but

[hushed lark]

rpg when it isn't looking and some ntw shots, goes down pretty quick

[rocky gust]

even 1 good engineer is rare

[hushed lark]

I almost always run engineer, so much fun

[rocky gust]

a good lis can just stop any vehicle though

[plush echo]

which one

[hushed lark]

crawford with rpg, unless there are a bunch of aircraft then lis if I can't get a vehicle to take them out

[plush echo]

lol so many people use him

i haven't played him in a while i should lowkey do so

[hushed lark]

I can't stand only getting 3 rpgs on spawn so boris is out

[foggy hazel]

in hardcore no need more 🙂

[chilly jacinth]

I see more Boris as engi than any other

It's like people don't know that the characters have different perks to them

[rocky gust]

yeah those are usually bots

have not met a single good boris

[plush echo]

is rush XL still there

[tawny beacon]

can anyone help with direct error?

[chilly jacinth]

Nope

You can't fix it

[tawny beacon]

xd

[tender sun]

how do i fix ''DirectX function ''D3D12CreativeDevice' failed with DXGI_ERROR_UNSUPORTED ('The requested functionality is not supported by the device or the driver.') GPU: ''NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3070 Ti'', Driver: 57216'' ?

[dreamy mason]

What bf2042 crashed?

[tender sun]

yes

[dreamy mason]

iam am on driver 566.31 (evga 3080ti)

[tender sun]

wait

my drivers deleted ?

[dreamy mason]

Try redownload nvidia ,www.nvidia.com

jnew driver there

[winged zenith]

I havet directx problem to started today played yesterday without problems lol

[safe hazel]

Desabilite o overclock da gpu faça uma limpeza de driver com nvclen e faça uma instalação limpa do driver olhe a temperatura que as vezes pode ser altas temperaturas na memória recomendo deixa fixa no 100% as fan caso a gpu não esteja lidando bem com controle de temperatura

[safe hazel]

Fix rtx 3060. NVidia drivers ✅

[dreamy mason]

Try turing off all apps in task bar,But no bt2042

[dreamy mason]

but not bf2042

[dreamy mason]

Turn all fans on pc up 1000%

100%

[dreamy mason]

Defalt bios ,at last case

[obsidian arch]

why is global chat disabled by default? seems a bit odd

[rugged badge]

Many PvP games have global chat turned off by default

[elfin void]

Anyone remember how you hide the UI in the main menu?

Was a line in console commands, I just don't remember which

[dapper river]

UI.DrawEnable 0

[elfin void]

Thx

[indigo storm]

Played a game of frontlines today for the 1st time in months. I absolutely am sick of snipers. Spawn - sniped - dead. So stupid.

[elfin void]

Frontlines is my favourite mode tbh

[indigo storm]

I LOVED frontlines in BF1.

[elfin void]

Dont have too much issues with snipers either

Perhaps you're just inviting them to kill you?

[indigo storm]

Pre timer. That timers was so goddam dumb

[elfin void]

Yeah in BF1 that was my fave mode as well. I enjoy it way more than breakthrough or conquest

The timer makes sense though from the winning side's perspective

[indigo storm]

No. I know how to play. I counted 8 sniper glints at one point. I turned the game off

[elfin void]

Otherwise the losing team can already start capping as the previous point is lost

It still favours the losing team but yeah

Thing I dont like as much is the losing team getting multiple tanks/LAVs

:D

[indigo storm]

No. It takes the fun out of it. Dont remember timers in actual battles. Remember the timer at Normandy? 🤣

[elfin void]

Can you not compare a game to real life

[indigo storm]

It’s a joke skill issue guy

[paper meadow]

How do you sign up for the new test servers?

[elfin void]

If you want it to be like IRL everyone will be using shotguns

[elfin void]

Google Battlefield Labs

[indigo storm]

The Deadpool logo should have been your first clue I wasn’t serious

[elfin void]

#direct-communication message Or this maybe

[elfin void]

You never know nowadays

People whine about the smallest things

[indigo storm]

True. Discord is full of sweaty hardcores with no sense of humor

[elfin void]

Hardcore 🤮

Despise that gamemode

[indigo storm]

I love battlefield and just want a good game again.

[elfin void]

We all do

And lets be honest, 2042 right now is pretty good

Doesnt have a lot of maps but most of the maps are quite playable

[indigo storm]

I’ll give it a go next week more. It’s been at least 5 or 6 months

[elfin void]

But yeah, give me BF4.5

[elfin void]

Took me a few days to adjust as well tbf, but now Im loving it again

[indigo storm]

I never played 2 or 3. I’d love a remaster version

[elfin void]

Running Paik and beacon behind enemy lines

👏

[elfin void]

BF3 doesnt hold up nowadays

And BF2 I only played singleplayer cause I was young-ish

[paper meadow]

Got it
Thanks mate

[indigo storm]

🫡

[elfin void]

Nice, hope you get in

[tough fjord]

Same here, I heard about bf labs, and decided to play 2042

Anyone know easy kills for XFAD-4

[elfin void]

Whats XFAD

[arctic grove]

With the new update most of cheaters are removed?

[elfin void]

I met 1 in an NA server that was most definitely cheating

LMG and headshots only

[karmic oasis]

Rush XL is so unbalance

but so fun lol

[rain violet]

I had one just crouching behind deployable cover, 97% HS on the bow and GVT lol

[elfin void]

absolute legend

[rain violet]

Probably reported like 12 this week lowest HS acc I've seen was about 40% on AK24

[tough fjord]

The danger Dorito

[tough fjord]

Wow

[elfin void]

Nacho Cheese?

[rare egret]

has the battlefield logo always been broken?

[elfin void]

Broken?

[rare egret]

the A,T,L,E & L

[tough fjord]

Like what

[rare egret]

there letters are shifted, or im just noticing it

[tough fjord]

It's a 2042 thing, for the EMP

[opaque hornet]

hi

is anyone still playing BF2?

i just found bf2 DLC in my attic

[brittle wind]

BF could afford to have bad maps if they designed spread to work like BF3 or BF4

[plush echo]

Running pp-29 with thermal

[brittle wind]

I never liked SMGs in 2042 for some reason, they feel like worse ARs

I used all of them too even the PP

[elfin void]

best method for T1 recon feels so wrong

[brittle wind]

I agree with this though. LCMG turns into Farmg if you use short barrel, close combat and red laser combo

[plush echo]

Yep

[rare egret]

what method is this?

[elfin void]

Casper and his drone

I mean im helping the team in a way

But how many of them actually use the intel to their advantage

[rocky gust]

my eyes are glued to the minimap like pp and balls so me

if someone is sacrificing their fun for drone gameplay and intel, i take it nicely and use that to farm

[brittle wind]

Today's FNB is going to be Frontlines XL, can't wait to farm 🥰

[silk skiff]

I need help in BFH

[bleak kelp]

Is only fun if your team pushes once you get the objective back but nooooo they wanna wait the full 30 secss

[verbal osprey]

How the 572.42 working, any issues?

[inner wolf]

[plush echo]

FNB

[stoic gyro]

This game has a lot of crashes
I can't even play for 5 minutes.

[merry heart]

Does it burn

[tender sun]

whats the fastest way to get xp and level up?

[granite bronze]

For a certain level I would say in portal mode, on a cusom 128 person bot map. For a new weapon, I sometimes go a Redacted conquest map, to get the first attachments. But that maps are only good for grinding, those do not give the experience of a normal map.

[frozen hollow]

It's like playing a fucking DOOM eternal in normal matches

[grand barn]

☢️

[spare quest]

another fake enders?

[brittle wind]

He's legit

[vital quail]

Always a bad sign when you have a casper as squad leader at the start of a match

[craggy spoke]

BF 2042 sucks they should ad neco arc

[still vault]

Crying is what #general is for

[umbral adder]

Oh shit is that enders? I'm glad he's relentlessly calling out EA/DICE. His brand of vitriol has a distinctly entertaining quality to it.

[spare quest]

Imagine if every bf youtuber would be like jackfrags

[umbral adder]

We'd get to see more 4K BF3 footage?

[rugged badge]

God please no

[naive ember]

Why? EA is awesome

[olive monolith]

Hey guys

I got a question

I play alot of falck right?

I need a setup for my agressive play style.

Or combat medic play style.

I RNG alot

Anyone got a setup idea?

[brittle wind]

Use DFR strife, use AR mags for it, equip ammo box, equip smokes

[olive monolith]

Im not worried about gadgets and throwables

It's the primary weapon

[brittle wind]

DFR

[olive monolith]

My best secondary is the G57

If that's the case

What if I need that TTK but reach MID range

Like a AK24

[brittle wind]

AK24 is garbage

[olive monolith]

BUT

Why's that.

[brittle wind]

High TTK high recoil

[remote kiln]

meh

the recoil isnt real anyways

[olive monolith]

What we talkin

[brittle wind]

AK

[olive monolith]

The recoil ain't that much

[remote kiln]

if you want a good primary the sfar is hard to ignore

[brittle wind]

Either recoil or first shot recoil, it's not good

[olive monolith]

If you put the STNR laser and champion muzzle brake it's low.

[brittle wind]

TTK is also slow

[remote kiln]

excellent damage at range and quite easy to control

[olive monolith]

True

I need something with a fast TTK

[brittle wind]

AM40

[olive monolith]

FUCK NO.

THAT THING IS ONLY SHORT RANGE.

[brittle wind]

DFR then

[olive monolith]

EVERYTIME I USE IT I GET GUN DOWN

[brittle wind]

It has AR mobility

[remote kiln]

if you want mid range high ttk just use the acwr lol

[olive monolith]

acwr?

What about the AK5C

[remote kiln]

its a ar

[olive monolith]

I've seen alot of people using the AK5C

[brittle wind]

AK5C doesn't have good short range TTK

[remote kiln]

ak5c is "fine", not amazing at anything

[olive monolith]

Im not looking for short range

Im looking for mid range

But AR based

[vocal tusk]

Its a good all-rounder

[brittle wind]

AK5C with high power is good then

[remote kiln]

the acwr just has a faster ROF thats all

[olive monolith]

The ak5c?

[vocal tusk]

Yes

[brittle wind]

I would also use subsonic with big supp for flanks

[olive monolith]

The attachments i use is close combat, BCG, and tac comprnsator.

[vocal tusk]

Its very accurate, and easy to control. So just run it with utility underbarrels. Like shotgun/nade launcher, ETC

[olive monolith]

I do that alot if I'm flanking

[remote kiln]

have you just bought the game?

[olive monolith]

No

Bought it 2 or 3 years ago.

[remote kiln]

https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/ACW-R/Battlefield_2042 cc

[brittle wind]

Use high power extended/subsonic/close combat extended for AK5C imo

[olive monolith]

So ACWR?

uhh....

[remote kiln]

mtar is also a viable option

[olive monolith]

Have you seen the attachments?

Cause when I use it

I only see normal and extended mags.

[brittle wind]

I meant AK5C

Not ACWR

[olive monolith]

WAIT WAIT

WHAT ABOUT

BSVM

[remote kiln]

why dont you just try the weapons yourself

[olive monolith]

HIGH POWER SUBSONICS

[remote kiln]

and see what you think

[olive monolith]

WITH THE BCG OR STNR LASER.

[brittle wind]

STNR isn't good

[olive monolith]

it's a underbarrel.

[brittle wind]

Red lasers are the only good lasers

[olive monolith]

The BSVM is 3 shots to kill.

[brittle wind]

Recoil reduction is only 5% in lasers

[olive monolith]

Aint that like fast TTK?

[remote kiln]

no, its semi automatic

[brittle wind]

BSVM can be full auto though

[olive monolith]

I was gonna say that

But still.

[brittle wind]

For full auto use close combat, for semi use high power

[remote kiln]

bsvm w/ full auto is quite extreme recoil, you already said against weapons that werent before, dunno why youd use that

[olive monolith]

High power subsonic.

[brittle wind]

Subsonic isn't good since you always get supp benefit from BSVM

[olive monolith]

If you have the right settings recoil don't exist.

[brittle wind]

It exists

[vocal tusk]

This is how I run the AK5C

[remote kiln]

then why arent you using the mtar or anything else lol

[olive monolith]

I use the AEK i never tried the MTAR before.

im just struggling to make a fast TTK gun.

[brittle wind]

Just use SFAR

[remote kiln]

you want a fast ttk the mtar is the highest rof ar in the game

just good luck maintaining its recoil at range

[olive monolith]

Any attachments i should know?

[brittle wind]

I don't like standard in AK5C, for some reason the worst mag type

[olive monolith]

Like I said. Good settings = 0 recoil..

[vocal tusk]

Just use the PP29 if you want the easiest to use weapon, with decent damage and mag size.

[remote kiln]

youve not used the mtar so id expect youd say something like this

[olive monolith]

PP-29 is a all around SMG

Big mag, low recoil, decent TTK

And fast reload speed.

[remote kiln]

just sounds like youve used only low recoil weapons tbh

[olive monolith]

Not really

Thr BSVM has the lowest along with SFAR (SCAR)

[remote kiln]

?

[olive monolith]

SFAR on the other hand is best to get rid of the RATS

The camping rats

Yk.

[remote kiln]

the bsvm.. is definitely not the lowest..

[olive monolith]

But finding the right barrel attachment is hell.

[brittle wind]

PBX has the lowest TTK In 10 meters

[vocal tusk]

I see no real reason to use the SFAR, when you have the BSVM in the game and available for anyone to use

[olive monolith]

I think the PBX is a good all arounder.

I could only reach people to 40m

[brittle wind]

I don't like visual recoil tbh

[olive monolith]

I dont either

Im sure everyone don't like visual recoil.

[vital quail]

Just use the gvt, challenge yourself

[olive monolith]

GVT?

[remote kiln]

high drum ammo means it will win at close range, i just prefer the higher magazine tbh

[olive monolith]

The Winchester?

[brittle wind]

Use DFR with AR setup then, I had like 100 meter headshots with it, it has AR mobility and LMG range

[olive monolith]

Hmmm...

SBMM

[vocal tusk]

I think the DFR is crap

[olive monolith]

DFR or SFAR.

or wait.

Uh.

[remote kiln]

why not just test them yourself

[olive monolith]

Idk what the best barrel attachments is for the SFAR.

[vocal tusk]

Set up a breakthrough game against AI and test for yourself

Best way to know. dont use Solo and Coop, as the weapons behave differently

[remote kiln]

and the lower tickrate means youll have a distorted experience

[fickle wharf]

20 tick lmao

[olive monolith]

Is the tac compensator best for the SFAR?

[vocal tusk]

It depends on the player

[remote kiln]

champion muzzle

[vocal tusk]

some prefer more accuracy, some prefer less recoil

[olive monolith]

I prefer accuracy for the SFAR

[olive monolith]

or both. That's just me.

[remote kiln]

champion muzzle will extend the sfars damage at range so its just strictly better

[fickle wharf]

Check out sorrows sheet for weapon stats and req loadouts if you havent already

[brittle wind]

Champion muzzle

[olive monolith]

Got a link? Or somethin?

I herd people say use the ARCOM TATICAL muzzle brake.

[brittle wind]

I like it, mostly due to AR mobility

[olive monolith]

For sfar

[remote kiln]

tbh idk why youre asking in here when you can just test the weapons yourself lol

[vocal tusk]

Its a worse AR than actual ARs, and a worse LMG than actual LMGs.

[olive monolith]

;^; my bad then

[remote kiln]

dfr is a meme gun

[brittle wind]

Look at Benbit's test range and try them yourself

[vocal tusk]

If I want an LMG that behaves like an AR, ill just use the RPT with short barrel.

[remote kiln]

it would have been the best weapon/close to it when bloom wasnt in 2042

now its just bad

[brittle wind]

I used LCMG and RPT too, but issues is their recoil is also bad in longer ranges

Short barrel makes them worse ARs too tbh

[vocal tusk]

But its a massive jump in RPM/DPS.

[brittle wind]

Well yeah but when I use an LMG I want to be able to have 75 meters effective range

Or more

I guess I'll just use PKP

Very consistent

[vocal tusk]

If I want something long range, ill swap to a DMR. BF being respawn based...im probably gonna be long dead before I need my weapon to alter the ranges its good at.

[brittle wind]

Well that's true too

I should grind G428 or something I guess

[vocal tusk]

Im not one of those players who will only die 3-5 times per game with 50+ kills. I dont care about dying, and constantly risk a death to cap a point, res a player, ETC.

Im fine going 21/20 in any round haha.

Ill be 21/20, with 65 revives (Revives the player actually lived from) and 35 captures.

[radiant kettle]

both are useful

use 30 rounds mag aswell

for more damage

[fickle wharf]

cant post links in here, nets you a 8 min freeze

[remote kiln]

high power is strictly worse than high power drum magazine

[radiant kettle]

i find it better for close-mid range

more dpm

[remote kiln]

the dpm is the same

theres no damage difference between the magazines

[radiant kettle]

standart has higher dpm than high power drum

[brittle wind]

I prefer high power drum because range is better. 267 ms TTK for ST from 0-30 meters but 289 ms TTK for HP from 0-50 meters.

[radiant kettle]

i swapped to ST cuz of some advices from sfar sweats

feels better

[willow trench]

Hi ther e
is there anyone that can help about in game settings and also nvidia control panel settings for BF 2042 and NVIDIA 3070Ti laptop card.

[quaint haven]

Hey, I’m wondering if the game is still playable on PS5 ?

[chilly jacinth]

Why wouldn't it be?

[quaint haven]

I can’t find game

[chilly jacinth]

Like find a match or download the game?

[quaint haven]

Find a match

Like no one playing

[chilly jacinth]

Did you disable crossplay?

[quaint haven]

No

[chilly jacinth]

What mode are you searching for matches in?

[gaunt geode]

Anyone know when the new beta is coming ?

[quaint haven]

Conquest and breakthrough (thing like that)

[chilly jacinth]

That's really odd cause those are the most populated modes

Maybe try a completely different mode like TDM

[quaint haven]

I’ll try

Ty

[errant wadi]

I'm having trouble finding matches too @quaint haven
I need a place where I can see what modes are currently populated. This sucks.

[pine roost]

would be nice if there was a convenient list of available official servers

[gusty hemlock]

is 2042 actually good now? I use to play BF4 and 3. Is it still the same vibe or is it more like call of duty :/

[hushed lark]

nahh what a silly idea, I'm sure there's a reason they didn't add that to 2042

[balmy sentinel]

Lets Win the what ?

[sturdy heron]

havent played battlefield in ages, last one i did was bf3. recently bought 2042, and its so awesome. cant wait for the latest bf. anyone want to play?

[gusty hemlock]

does it feel like BF3? or is it more fast pace

[still plank]

Old people….

[errant wadi]

Or honestly just a list of how many people are on for each mode.

Current numbers as I'm looking for matches (ps5 w/ crossplay)
Conquest CQ: 8
Conquest 64: 3
Conquest 128: 2
Breakthrough: 8
Rush Chaos (weekly mode): 1
*these numbers include myself fyi

So there's not enough to play unless we all filter into the same mode, but we can't find one with enough people to run anything.

[gusty hemlock]

who 💀

[still plank]

You

[sturdy heron]

its pretty smooth overall imo. last i saw when it came out there was a lot of bugs, but i bet they patched most of it. havent encountered any so far.

[gusty hemlock]

im 21

[errant wadi]

Also what the heck only 20 people in the whole world on 2042 right now? Ouch.

[chilly jacinth]

Guess the matchmaking broke again

[errant wadi]

At least on cross play

[autumn scroll]

HELICOPTER gameplay
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gHF0MxIwzIs?feature=share

BF2042 helicopter gameplay: bicycle driving

[gusty hemlock]

Ill have to give it a try when it goes on sale

[sturdy heron]

i didnt even know 2042 was cross-play, thats so cool

[still plank]

Tbh when u said “I used to play bf3 and 4” I thought u were in your 30s

[sturdy heron]

im playing it through the xbox gamepass on pc. im doing the ultimate though, $20 monthly. but it gives you acces to a lot of games as well as the bfs 🙂

[gusty hemlock]

no, my dad got me into them when i was young af

[sturdy heron]

ill be 29 this yr

@gusty hemlock i can stream the game if you want to see how it is, if you want me to.

[gusty hemlock]

That's alright, im at work rn

thanks for the offer tho

[sturdy heron]

ah alright. no worries.

welcome 🙂

[gusty hemlock]

I was just asking cause i saw a video of some mf using throwing knives and zooming across the map with a wingsuit. didn't know if the whole game was like that or what

[still plank]

Well there specialist u can pick that has a special gimmick and gadget and one of them has a wingsuit

[rapid hemlock]

How do u get the download? Keep getting the filter your test request email thing still.

[fickle wharf]

what download

[gusty hemlock]

Ok, at least its not something every class has lol

[remote kiln]

its ok, the game isnt exceptional, probably about a 6/10

[gusty hemlock]

Damn, its sad games somehow get worse over time

[remote kiln]

it is not worse, its far better than it was at launch

the game just has structural design issues like power creep which makes balancing almost impossible and bugs that will never be fixed like input delay issues

if you can look past that its a decent game

[gusty hemlock]

I figured that, i just mean worse than previous games

[remote kiln]

meh just how it goes

[gusty hemlock]

they're all about the money now. who cares about the players as long as were making money

[remote kiln]

i mean, not really

the game is very friendly as far as content goes for monetisation

[gusty hemlock]

They said they were going to start putting real life advertisements in their games 💀

[remote kiln]

yeah.. theyve been doing that for years my guy

[gusty hemlock]

and its been lame for years

[vocal tusk]

Higher player count with a lower paying user conversion rate, is better than lower player count, with higher paying user conversion rate.

[remote kiln]

this is battlefield 2142

[vocal tusk]

Its been like this since BF 2142 lol

[remote kiln]

release date, 2006

[vocal tusk]

they had ads plastered all over the maps. the Intel ones are what I remember

If you think videos games are bad...start paying attention to TV shows and movies for the last 40 years.

[next onyx]

Pepsi.

[tribal tartan]

this is what lord gaben protects us from on steam

[remote kiln]

this is also another advertisement from 2142 lol

[vocal tusk]

No, it isnt lmao

[remote kiln]

no, its not

[next onyx]

If I ever get strangled in game by the pepsi man in battlefield I think that'll mark the time I'll stop playing battlefield. Not out of disgust but sheer humiliation.

[remote kiln]

steam didnt ban advertisements

[gusty hemlock]

Its a bit different from then to now. When you're a small company that makes great games you need another form of income them yeah advertising in games can be ok. But when youre a multi-million dollar company that puts out shit games and charges people 70$+ for them then its like what do they really care about

[remote kiln]

they banned developers using advertisements as the only form of revenue for games

[tribal tartan]

ah, thanks for the clarification

[remote kiln]

dice was acquired by ea in 2005 lol

you think they were small?

[vocal tusk]

There are also specifics to the ban. Like having content gated behind interaction with an advertisement. Thats a part of it

[remote kiln]

they gained majority ownership in 2005 with 59% of DICE's shares then bought the rest in 2006

[next onyx]

Refractor. Was that dice made or licensed?

[vocal tusk]

It was made by a separate studio, who was bought by DICE. IIRC

[remote kiln]

^

refraction games which were bought by dice in 2000

[next onyx]

Ohhh

[vocal tusk]

They were called something like Refraction Games, I think haha

[next onyx]

It's quite cool how early on everyone was making their own engines. But than again things weren't over complicated.

[next onyx]

Not gonna lie the diceron engine or something would have been cool.

[remote kiln]

idk why people think dice were somehow this small indie company during 2142/bc and pretend these things are somehow new, they made roughly $13m/year in net revenues before they got bought by ea

[vocal tusk]

Sounds like a brand of hoover 😛

[next onyx]

I was just listening to this morning about the history of serious sam and how croteam had to develop their own engine called the serious engine.

[junior prairie]

Should look up duke nukem then !

Anyone else who can’t start BF2042? It has been since one of the first updates for me. Started with a out of video memory error and now it closes immediately after launching. No error whatever, just a black windowed screen and returns to the EA menu. Drivers are updated, windows is up to date and watched all tutorials ever online lmao. Nothing seems to work. Completely lost over here

[naive ember]

❤️ Redacted

[flint relic]

Guys the portal still broken after the 8.5.0 update? Or they finally fixed it after two freaking weeks?

[glass imp]

8.5 is not out yet. It releases on Tuesday the 18th

[elfin void]

Tried repairing?

[dreamy mason]

it might be tha anticheat, so turn all background programs off then try ,make sure fire wall is letting game thur

@dreamy mason

[random ingot]

Yes. Also reinstalled multiple times

[random ingot]

Game is completely whitelisted with the firewall

[viscid bone]

Has to be the oldest ran advert for a movie, ever. Surely.

[viscid bone]

Have you tried going into the game installation folder, clicking the anticheat and updating that?

[dense dock]

my headset broke but ill try and keep up

[dreamy mason]

https://tenor.com/view/cry-gif-25866484

[remote kiln]

haha excellent movie aswell

[flint relic]

Oh i see thanks i just saw an update page suddenly but didnt cared too much, because i had work to do

I hope they fix it because it is annoying i cant start my own experience even if i restart the game because a server stuck at the host menu that "active" but actually not😅

[autumn scroll]

WHY SO HARD to add camouflage wall as a buildable item. Portable bush is a most useful thing on any battlefield.

[chilly jacinth]

No

[autumn scroll]

No to no

[chilly jacinth]

Completely useless just like the decoys in past games

[autumn scroll]

decoys?

[lilac dust]

I JUST GOT AN EMAIL

[agile topaz]

Js got mine lolll

[lilac dust]

Telling me about car insurance for the car I don't have

[chilly jacinth]

Sniper decoys were a thing in BF5

[lilac dust]

hehehehe got ya

[agile topaz]

can't talk about it but you can prolly guess the email i got

[autumn scroll]

Drop camo wall at building corner its like smoke grenade that never expires. You mean smoke is useless? Maaaan

[lilac dust]

No but forreal. Technically we'lre not allowed to admit we got that email, but yeah I think everybody who registered gets it so

[chilly jacinth]

Except that wouldn't be like a smoke at all

[agile topaz]

Whattt I didn't say anything

[lilac dust]

excuse me?

[autumn scroll]

Sniper decoy i saw in Battlebit. Its rotating with enabled flashlight.
Tool is useless if you dont install it at 150meters distance...
Remember BF3 soflam on the tower. People spent shoots there + very hard to hit. Thats the purpose.

[autumn scroll]

the power of camowall is in that you see through the leaves - enemy is no

[chilly jacinth]

And how is a portable one way wall fair in any way

[autumn scroll]

Like boris drop defense wall.

ops

irish

[chilly jacinth]

Which is seethrough

[autumn scroll]

yes.
because it will be VERY useful if no

that wall is inpenetrable even with NTW-50. penetrable wall forces enemy to shoot (or perform risky movement) and he doesnt know is there an enemy

you cant use it at the center of clear area, its stupid. but drop your own bush at 100meters makes you invisible

the point is distance

[analog hatch]

wait fr

[winged zenith]

Dude i have the exact same problem LOL

[autumn scroll]

what they succeded creation 1000% dmg server with 100% mastery gain?

once i change at least something - portal removes XP from server

[dreamy mason]

🙂

[random ingot]

Nope. Will try

[random ingot]

It’s insane

Played for 40 hours and couldnt play after that anymore

[random ingot]

Is it another anti cheat than BF1, BF5 and BF4?

Because every battlefield but 2042 works

[chilly jacinth]

2042, BF1 and BF5 use the same one

BF4 uses punkbuster

[viscid bone]

Okay in that case, any errors or logs at all?

What is your EA ID? I will pass that along to the team to investigate incase it is tracking the reason, next week.

[vital quail]

Fixed an issue where players were unable to purchase the accelerated event pass if all levels were completed before the purchase

My EA ID is my username right?

[random ingot]

Nope, no errors no logs

So why when I try install bf2042 to my d drive it says there’s not enough store mage in the c drive?!?!

[rain violet]

Guess your D is too small

[arctic grove]

cause its stupid

[brittle wind]

I hope so, I want to give EA 🤑

[solemn jungle]

its really pissing me off

wat

[brittle wind]

Use bots to grind attachments in 15 minutes

[robust ether]

I think the M416 is becoming my favorite assault rifle in the game

[brittle wind]

M16 but worse in BF3
M16 but worse in 2042

[heady falcon]

I have no intention of ever touching it again
I was just unlocking the AKS-74u

If I want a bullet hose for cqc I'll just use the M16 or HK or even the AEK

It was the 20 rounders that kept screwing me over

[placid marlin]

the vector is actually so god damn awful

[solemn jungle]

So how do I fix this installing problem

[solemn jungle]

This one

[echo yew]

it's the fastest killing gun though

it means you don't have enough space in that drive

aint no way

this thing is awful

inaccurate, small mag

any other smg over this pos

[echo yew]

you unlock big mags

[placid marlin]

the ac9 is 1000x better than this

[echo yew]

i mean yeah the ac9 is good

[placid marlin]

or the p90, or the mp9, or the scorpion, or the aks74

ANYTHING OVER THIS

[echo yew]

it might be your personal preference ngl but to me the vector was one of the easiest smgs to use

favorite is hands down the pbx45 though

love that thing

[placid marlin]

I cant stand the pbx either

but even that thing is much better than this

[echo yew]

bRuh

[placid marlin]

im a ~3 kd player and Im struggling to break even with this pos bruh

[vital quail]

Almost everything comes down to personal preference

[placid marlin]

well yeah but still

standard mag makes it a bit better but still mid af

[echo yew]

pbx45 goated

[brittle wind]

AM40 is miles better than AKS

AM40 is better than many SMGs in fact since it has SMG mobility and AR HS multiplier

[echo yew]

am40 is crazy

[heady falcon]

I'm aware of what it does
But iirc I need the 74u to unlock something else entirely

But I stopped being able to find matches in Frontlines and I'm not playing aids Breakthrough or the zoomzoom crack modes

[placid marlin]

breakthrough the goat

[echo yew]

bring back frontlines please

[brittle wind]

Infantry BT is

[echo yew]

actually goated mode

breakthrough is fun but frontlines >>>

[brittle wind]

Frontlines is currently active afaik

In FNB

[plush echo]

Did the pack leader Casper skin ever comeback at some point ? I really want it but I never see it pop it in the store

[brittle wind]

No

Submerger looks similar though

[lilac dust]

Yeah did you get one?

[placid marlin]

wtf is up with bt mm rn, constantly getting maps like bulge or el alamein that I NEVER get

cant complain ngl but its kinda weird

[rare egret]

are the seasons easter eggs not available?

[placid marlin]

yo mtar kinda goated ngl why didnt I use this before

[feral ibex]

anyone know the fix for 2042 blue screening while loading into match and saying something ab ea anti cheat

ive looked it up and did some of the "fixes" but they didnt work

[young panther]

do you have an antivirus? similar thing happened to me and when i disabled my antivirus it worked

[brittle wind]

I apologize to SMGs, turns out they are an amazing weapon class in 2042

[rain violet]

AC9, PP29, PBX are goated

[brittle wind]

Yeah, issue wasn't class, issue was K30 lol

[rain violet]

Yeah, the only people who can get away with K30 outside of just corner camping are probably console/roller players.

Otherwise AC9 is just a better K30 for M&K.

[brittle wind]

Looks like it

Turns out LMG class wasn't bad either, bad gun was LCMG, I tried Avancys, RPT and PKP back to back, they actually can beam people from 100 meters

LCMG is weird, it's a close range LMG

[placid marlin]

lcmg is awful and Im still missing a weapon unlock with it

pkp is the GOAT

good for beaming and pushing as well

[brittle wind]

I will try RPT and Avancys for a while in bots, I already tried PKP and it's good but these two might be even better for me

[rain violet]

Yeah LCMG is definitely not cut out for range because you build it for short barrel and masterkey. I still don't care for it as much because the strafe speed is awful.

[placid marlin]

I legit couldnt break even with the lcmg its so bad 😭

[brittle wind]

I would use red laser for LCMG honestly rather than masterkey

CC gives you 200 rounds anyways, masterkey is unnecessary

[rain violet]

The only way to play LMGs close is to slide jump/bhop every engagement to override the awful strafe.

[brittle wind]

Yeah

[placid marlin]

I mean thats kinda what you do anyways

is the garand any good? worth unlocking?

[rain violet]

You can at least get away with a standard strafe with SMGs but LMG don't even bother you basically are at a standstill.

[fathom oracle]

what in the dogshit game? thermals dont see through smoke? why are they even in the fkn game then?

[rain violet]

The last thing thermals should do is work through smoke.

Last thing we need is BF4 smoke meta all over again.

[fathom oracle]

dont put them in the game then

[umbral vigil]

i like to lie prone with a bipod and scope and it works fine for me

[rain violet]

Thermals already give clear sight picture of targets and obscuration.

If they do any more than that they just become a necessity instead of a choice.

[vital quail]

Game balance is why they don't work through smoke

Obvious answer

[rare egret]

can you not reassign buttons anymore ?

heli sticks suck and like to change but the options are not available

i see custom but where do you customize?

[arctic grove]

2042 is still not loading

[rare egret]

? ive been playing for last 4 hours... you must be on pc?

[arctic grove]

yes

[rare egret]

hmm idk then

[arctic grove]

anyone else still having the issue?

[rare egret]

thermals would work irl though so its a bust

[arctic grove]

y'all trippin'

fr

[rain violet]

Games aren't real life last I checked and games are worse the more they try to emulate them.

[rare egret]

lol just saying if you put on a thermal and theres smoke you should be able to see through it, otherwise why have a thermal

[rain violet]

Because it completely ruins game balance and makes it so thermal scopes are the only scope to ever use.

Entire meta becomes "spam smoke, shoot through smoke, anyone dumb enough to not use a thermal scope has a bad time."

[placid echo]

Could also say that the smoke grenade uses some kind of special compound since Thermals can see through smoke created by the environment

[rare egret]

well guess you better get those thermals then

https://youtube.com/shorts/u-p-1bFINkE?feature=shared

[placid echo]

No one is arguing you can't see through it irl

[rare egret]

now flashbang and thermal no beuno lol

[vital quail]

In battlefield 4 I would get on roofs before they removed ladders in tdm and sit on the edge with the dbv with frag rounds and throw smokes on myself

Using thermal on the shotgun as well

It was not balanced at all

[brittle wind]

Every other LMG gets the same benefit with bipod. LCMG just isn't made for long range fights.

If you think you can beam with LCMG then try Avancys or PKP

[rain violet]

Don't even think you need a bipod if you're on controller anyways with all the free recoil/fsm reduction.

[brittle wind]

I hate how sorrow's ''optimal'' loadouts gives tac comp to everything, tac comp isn't even that good, neither is warhawk

[rain violet]

Tac is good in most cases of range but arcom can be good on specific guns too like the AC9 because of the horizontal.

[brittle wind]

I prefer muzzle breaks because they don't mess up with recoil or spread multipliers

It's a futile attempt to try to compensate for them imo. You will either get higher recoil or you will get higher spread. MBs are basic recoil reductions.

Tac comp might be good in extreme CQC setups though.

[rain violet]

I find the opposite, tac for extending your spray by bringing down your spread at the cost of more recoil, but muzzle breaks for closer guns to keep them tighter.

[main vale]

NULL

I only Use suppressors Keeps you off the radar before shoving a rpg shell up a wildcats ass

[brittle wind]

I think attachments should be like BF4 in the next game, I want to equip a compensator and get 25% recoil reduction, not just 10%

[rain violet]

Honestly agree, I don't care whether they stick with plus system, go more like gunsmith, Delta Force, whatever. I just want meaningful changes and offsets to make more variable builds.

Choosing between two ever so slight changes without any real understanding of a lot of the statistics or terminology just makes things needlessly frustrating.

[arctic grove]

is there any even scheduel

for like when a bc2 or bf3 event or such will happen

[vital quail]

Google bf2042 community calendar

Has the gamemodes for like the next 3 weeks usually

[placid marlin]

Is ~3 ish kd good? Im closing up on 3, prolly a week or so and Ill pass that point

[main vale]

I have a 1.8 kd and I'm Pretty good so 3.0 kd Is fantastic

[placid marlin]

I always feel like im underperforming ngl

[rain violet]

KD itself means nothing, it depends on a number of stats to determine a good player

[main vale]

What's your average kills and Deaths?

[rain violet]

Someone who sits as far back as possible and farms with a Rorsch might get a large KD but that doesn't mean they're good at anything else.

[placid marlin]

I dont play snipers at all
