[vocal tusk]

Not scuffed movement ability that only 5% of the playerbase can take advantage of

Disagree. Movement ability should exist, but not to the extent that it places one player at a significant advantage to another due to abuse. Like strafe sliding, dphin diving, etc.

[brittle wind]

All I want is lack of SBMM for the next BF

[radiant kettle]

where 5% can take it

in 2042 its jump + slide + jump

something INSANE

in v and 2042 its A D and space spam while gunning

IMPOSSIBLE

[vocal tusk]

A momentum based slide where you can't shoot while sliding is fine. Bunny hopping not

[radiant kettle]

most likely not getting anything worse than 4 zou glitches and bf 2 air strafes

[brittle wind]

Bunny hopping is a necessity in 2042 due to how the maps works

[radiant kettle]

yea

could barely bunnyhop rn aswell

just remember how violent bf 2 movement was

[brittle wind]

You either bunnyhop or get shot by a sniper with 500 meter horizontal sight line

[radiant kettle]

or bf4 with zou

[vocal tusk]

The way I see it, good players will be better without crazy, scuffed movement anyway. But make movement too crazy and you'll make casual players not want to play/return every evening after work. 😁

[azure basalt]

i play 4 with zou and i know its not fun for the people on the receiving end

i don't want it to comeback tbh lets just have a normal movement

[radiant kettle]

yes

check out bf2 movement aswell

those air strafes

and drop shots

POG

[vocal tusk]

Run, walk, sprint, crouch sprint, prone, back prone and a momentum based slide (which doesn't allow shoot while sliding) would be enough to have a decent in skill through movement.

[peak snow]

Hello, is there a crossplay only console on BF 2042 ?

[azure basalt]

nope

[peak snow]

thanks for the reply

[vital quail]

Last gen console is console only crossplay

[vocal tusk]

[peak snow]

but with pc players

[vital quail]

Ps4/x1 does not play with pc

[peak snow]

i am on xbox series X

[frozen loom]

Hue hue hue.

https://tenor.com/view/reptile-lol-hehehe-gif-5441436

[unreal gate]

Shouldnt game update news be posted in #game-news ?

I didnt know there was a patch until I saw a Game Rant article about it

[vital quail]

Yes

Don't know why they didn't for this

[unreal gate]

They don't post anything since feb 2

[vital quail]

Has the Twitter account in #direct-communication posted anything

I would think its linked to post here if so

[unreal gate]

Nothing since Feb 5 there

I can do a better job managing this Discord tbh

Hire me EA lol

[vital quail]

Yeah soflam does not light up for the rpg anymore btw

[frozen loom]

Why even nerf that?

[vocal tusk]

Nerfed or bug? It probably does still lock on, the cursor is just not visible. It was a bug in the past also

[vital quail]

It locks on but no light

Which i mean... I'm never going to use anyway with the rpg

[peak snow]

How many console player on the discord ? Do you play on PC ?

[keen sedge]

does anyone know where to find the art for the Battlefield 2042 loading screens
i really like it but seemingly can't find them anywhere especially valparaiso one which is teh one i want

[viscid bone]

Over 80,000 with the roles for console 🙂

[viscid bone]

Bot on holiday, will return.

[peak snow]

i have to try hard on my console instead of my PC

[naive ember]

Should have a rank system so I can get my perms back

I was a booster before the ea takeover and didn't abuse my perms, not fair that it's all gone now

I used to post screenshots all the time and dudes loved it

[vocal tusk]

The screenshots in question. Seems like no huge loss.

[vital quail]

Mainly just reply gifs

[vocal tusk]

While it did suck a bit that image perms from nitro boost was disabled. It makes perfect sense from a liability standpoint.

[next onyx]

Not gonna lie it'd be nice if regular requirements were better communicated.

[chilly jacinth]

They haven't even added back the ability to get regular role

[mental delta]

I still have it despite my 567 mutes and kicks

What the hell did you do to get it removed ?

[chilly jacinth]

Got timed out once

[mental delta]

I mean me too lol

[chilly jacinth]

It was before EA took over

[mental delta]

But I haven't gotten my regular removed

Ho makes sense

[pine roost]

I just miss being able to post clips :(

[odd terrace]

is anyone getting dx function error after the latest patch?

[vocal tusk]

Lots of people allegedly.

[sly flare]

yes me to.

[arctic grove]

2042 is chaos

[violet sapphire]

keep getting "unable to connect to ea servers" for several days in a row now. and others seem to be able to play. something going on?

https://imgur.com/a/4NAo2Gy

[naive ember]

It is cause it made my job a lot easier back in the day, nowadays it's just boring conversations you love to have

No offense bud

[pine roost]

I don’t know how you manage to be so passive-aggressive with everything you type

It’s quite a skill

[vocal tusk]

It's deliberate passive aggression. Active passive aggression if you will. 👌

I'll prefer to have boring conversations, than to be...what ever it is this guy role plays here tho, tbh.

[orchid marsh]

battfield

[shy flame]

bro how do even people unlock the deagle you need a light vehicle kill with the 44 magnmum

[remote kiln]

C5 explosives
place on tank/vehicle
shoot C5 with magnum
job done

[chilly jacinth]

Mines also work

[radiant kettle]

nah ill still cope with g57

🫡

[hasty jolt]

i did it with the wingsuit

fly behind everyone, walk up to some IFV in the backlines, c4, done

why does support get 3 c4 and everyone else only get 2

you cant kill a tank with only 2

[shy flame]

oh damn great idea. Thanks

[dusk mortar]

why don't all classes have access to AT, AA and so on, didn't they use to?

[autumn scroll]

whats wrong with that 1.6 GB i've just downloaded for 2042? more advertising content?

[dusk mortar]

No idea

[autumn scroll]

because oldschool battlefield is about "engineer is anti-vehicle", "new dawn battlefield" is about that specialists that originally different only by using different device. "person-as-device" hype

[dusk mortar]

Mmmm

Thanks

Still lame they could buff engineers and give everyone AA, AT...

[frozen loom]

Lame that they overbuffed vehicles.

[patent prism]

I practically stopped playing 2042 when they removed the ability for 3 C5 to blow up certain vehicles.

[chilly jacinth]

Isn't it only brawler that takes 4?

[charred sky]

Yo

[arctic grove]

i mean, it's a garbage anti-tank weapon really

[patent prism]

I'm pretty sure it has/was changed to include more or less any armored vehicle.

But I haven't played in some time so don't take this as definitive truth.

[lunar kite]

Battlefield

[patent prism]

C5? I mean it used to be pretty effective for punishing tanks who push too far without infantry support, or sit in the back sniping completely oblivious to their surroundings.

Which, to me at least, seems like a fair use of them.

[hasty jolt]

why did they make c5 have so much range

[arctic grove]

i meant the logic behind it. i can see why it doesn't just flat out destroy a tank when you slap a couple on it. tanks can absorb explosions. anti-tank weapons concentrate the energy into a small point, c4 is like...the opposite

[hasty jolt]

3 c5 will kill a tank

but only support gets 3

[patent prism]

Ah, you mean from a realism standpoint. Yes, in that regard, it is a horrendous anti-tank weapon other than for disabling/immobilizing them.

[arctic grove]

But in battlefield...yeah...it's a good equalizer

3 should do the job for any vehicle

[patent prism]

I always found it exceptionally funny that the Patria AMV in 2042 could take 3 C5 explosions and keep going, while MBTs certainly could not. Then they changed it and now (as far as I can recall) all/most armored vehicles can take those 3 C5.

[arctic grove]

does it matter if you happen to throw them underneath the vehicle? I don't do a lot of vehicular combat in battlefield, so I don't know if I'm wasting my time or not when I'm aiming for weak points

[wooden ore]

?

[hasty jolt]

tanks die to 3 c4

and if tanks die, everything else does as well, except maybe those big troop spawn point vehicles

not sure

[obsidian tide]

In games leading up to either 3 or 4, 2 C4 was enough, possibly with the right Spec perk.

[hasty jolt]

i dont remember about bf2 but it was always 3 c4 for a tank in 3/4

it was probably 3 c4 in bf2 as well

3 for tank, 2 for anything else

[robust ether]

In bf 3 and 4 it was definitely more than 3 😭

[hasty jolt]

no it wasnt

c4 my number #3 weapon in 3 and my number #2 weapon in 4

was just playing 4 today killing tanks with 3 c4

[hushed lark]

I'm pretty sure 2 c5 works on most vehicles if you can hit the rear armor, except for the cav for some reason

[hasty jolt]

thats one thing i dont know, if hitting different parts did different damage

[hushed lark]

I usually run the rpg so I'm not 100% sure but I think it works the same with a few weird exceptions

ahh, I found a source. probably can't post links but if you search for sorrow's combined arms scribbles you will find it (reddit post).

it does say that c5 matters where it hits, and you can 2 shot most vehicles from the back except for the ram and the cav apparently

[hollow raven]

isnt it 2 c5 on the engine block kills armor?

[vocal tusk]

Engine block/rear. Yes.

In general you do most damage to the sides, top and rear, then least to the front.

Then on helis you do the most damage to the cockpit

[hasty jolt]

i wonder if they limited 1 class to 3 c4 because everyone can equip it

so only 1 class can frisbee 3 sticks and everyone else has to carefull get 2 on the back of a tank

[vocal tusk]

That's exactly why they did that to recon and assault

[hasty jolt]

recon was the c4 class starting in bf2 tho with spec-ops

id hope they go back to more strict class roles in 6

[vocal tusk]

They wanted to remove c5 from those classes fully, or at least fully from assault, but the community would have complained too much

"What do you mean I can't grapple hook or wingsuit in and insta kill a vehicle!!! "

[hasty jolt]

even though it would have been better to remove it and give the other 2 3 sticks

[vocal tusk]

Engineer has 3 still

I would have preferred recon and engineer have 3 also, assault have none. But 2042 is just a bunch of compromises at this point.

[hasty jolt]

no only support has 3

oh did u mean support

[vocal tusk]

No, support doesn't have c5 in 2042.

Engineer, assault and recon do.

Engineer 3
Assault 2
Recon 2

[hasty jolt]

oh yeah support is medic isnt it

[vocal tusk]

It is. Angel, falck and Irish.

[dapper river]

Ok but being a human cruise missile and wingsuiting into the enemy uncap to kill that stupid camping AA before your timer runs out is a feeling unmatched in any other shooter

[vocal tusk]

It's all very fake in my book. DICEs attempt the create only in Battlefield moments from a template.

Instead of just giving players a good sandbox and enjoyable maps, and those moments happening naturally

[remote kiln]

^

[hasty jolt]

c4 car in bf4 and knifing people is still a rush

i dont need a wing suit i just need a quad bike and a good map

[remote kiln]

you do in this game because the maps are like 1000m wide lol

you can get away with it in 4 because theres that much verticality that barely anyone sees you coming

[hasty jolt]

map design is the issue in 2042

[remote kiln]

the maps in 2042 are very flat geometrically

its not the main issue

[hasty jolt]

the maps dictate how the game plays

[vocal tusk]

For sure. Everything felt less deliberately set up in past games like bf3/4,because lots of the crazy things you could do were results of 2 systems colliding in unexpected ways. Like c4 launching vehicles, bouncing on water, etc.

[remote kiln]

the main issue is theres too much player utility that map design is rendered useless

[hasty jolt]

the utility is there bc they knew the maps werent good

[remote kiln]

?

[fickle wharf]

2042 held back by last gen lmao

[hasty jolt]

they couldnt get 128 players to function so they added all these extra things to the game

[brittle wind]

Stuff I want isn't cracked out Titanfall movement either. I want BFV's movement with momentum slides(similar to 2042). Only feature I would want from other games is omni-directional running of BO6, omni directional running isn't an advantage in gunfights either, but it makes the game feel smooth.

[remote kiln]

they have nothing to do with each other?

[hasty jolt]

wing suit, tac sprint, grapple, transport call ins

[vocal tusk]

Omni-movement will only benefit sweats.

So hard disagree on that point.

[hasty jolt]

omni movement is a bit overkill, just being able to mantle stuff reliably is enough

[brittle wind]

I just want running part of omni movement

Like running sideways or backwards or diagonally

[vocal tusk]

Being able to sprint sideways while full autoing a rifle is not something I'd want in Battlefield

[remote kiln]

its 90% a gimmick feature

its utility in this game is close to nonexistent

[hasty jolt]

can they remove being able to ads and jump at the same time too

[brittle wind]

You can't fire your gun while running, problem solved

BO6 doesn't have that run&gun perk too for that reason, omni running with that perk would be overkill

[vocal tusk]

It will still look and feel stupid. Like it does in BO6.

Players sprinting backwards at fullspeed. It would catastrophically make gameplay worse, and likely require map scale to be different

[hasty jolt]

id kind of like limited tac sprint to remain, just so i can knife people easier

it feels hard to catch anyone in 2042

[agile perch]

What does error 125012S mean? On the PC everything is fine, on the Xbox too, BUT as soon as I log in from my main account on the Xbox, the error “125012S” appears, and this is only from the main account, I have a secondary account and I can play from it in 2042, but not from the main one

[hasty jolt]

bf3 might have been a little over the top(but I loved it), 4 felt about right but the counter knifing ruined it but i doubt thats coming back anyway

[remote kiln]

it was a deliberate addition to 2042 because if it didnt exist then you would never be able to traverse the map without the timer ending

[hasty jolt]

hahah yeah

[remote kiln]

hard to see it staying in a toned down game

[hasty jolt]

its unlimited in 2042 isnt it

[remote kiln]

yes

[hasty jolt]

so, cap it to a few seconds in 6

can you tac sprint in portal modes on bf3/4 maps?

[brittle wind]

I don't like tac sprinting, it makes the game feel clunky

[hasty jolt]

whats melee like in V

[brittle wind]

Better

[hasty jolt]

i never got to do it much in 1, something about how the game flows makes it harder to wrap around and get takedowns

i dont mind it though the overall experience is just different

[brittle wind]

It's like BF1's system but movement makes it easier, I once slid back of a sniper while he was scoped so I got a nice free takedown lol

[hasty jolt]

i had about 2k knife kills in bf3, next weapon was my 44 with 700

[remote kiln]

yes

[hasty jolt]

i should give it a proper go in 1 and see

4 is the only game with counter melee right

[remote kiln]

no 3 does

[hasty jolt]

it doesn not

[brittle wind]

BF1 and V has counter bayonet

Which I also don't like

[hasty jolt]

very confident 3 doesnt have counters

you just swipe if ur in front of them for 50 damage

counter bayonet?

[remote kiln]

no youre wrong, the single player, has counter knifing

[hasty jolt]

whos talking about single player

[brittle wind]

If someone is bayonetting towards you and then you decide to bayonet them you will win in 1 or V

[hasty jolt]

ah ok, so not quite counter knife and only if you both have a bayonet?

good to know

[brittle wind]

Yeah you can't counter knife

I hate both tbh

[hasty jolt]

i went from my knife being #1 in bf3 to having barely 200-300 kills in bf4

[brittle wind]

Counter knifing/bayonetting rewards people who don't go for knife first

[hasty jolt]

i knifed someone today in 4, got a side takedown animation and then it turned into a counter, typed into chat, they also had the side takedown animation but the game let them counter me

nice one dice

[remote kiln]

it has been and always will be a glitchy feature that they can never get right

[hasty jolt]

it was ok in 3, the range was just a little too long

[remote kiln]

3 is full of melee exploits like being able to knife people from 10m away etc to a force animation

[hasty jolt]

it would have been fine in 4 if you couldnt counter

[brittle wind]

BF1 or BFV's melee is perfect imo, I had more melee kills in them than in any other BF

[hasty jolt]

ok i gotta go play more 1 and V

being a melee c4 goblin was my entire playstyle

[brittle wind]

2042's melee is 💩 I never go for takedowns because 90% of the time someone will shoot me out of it, it's not as satisfying in 3rd person too

[hasty jolt]

its too hard to do it in 2042, the maps are too big and open, someone always sees you

[remote kiln]

^

[vocal tusk]

Bf1 had extra systems at play for melee weapons. Not just player attacks. You needed heavy melee weapons (like the hatchet) to be able to break certain map reinforcements. Like razor wire or fences. Light/fast melee weapons (like a combat knife) did nothing against those.

[hasty jolt]

what are good melee weapons in 1 and v to use

[brittle wind]

Shovels

Or pickaxes

[hasty jolt]

and is there anything like bonus sprint squad spec

i cant remember

[hasty jolt]

tf2 soldier time

[brittle wind]

No, perks are individual benefits in them

Shoot someone twice with a 1911, then hit them with a shovel, works everytime

[hasty jolt]

like in their face?

can you do takedowns from behind

[brittle wind]

You can do frontal and sideways executions in them

If enemy hp is below a critical level

https://youtu.be/sD5O3L2S0bs

[hasty jolt]

holy shit the first 2 are brutal

side and reverse are from full hp right

whats critical hp for a front one

10%?

[vocal tusk]

Anything under what a single hit would kill iirc.

[brittle wind]

Side also needs to be below critical, critical hp is like 40% of 30% depending on the weapon

[vocal tusk]

Example: if melee does 35 damage, and player HP is 34, it would execute.

Correct me if that's wrong tho.

[brittle wind]

Knives are 30%, 40% for blunt and heavy weapons

[brittle wind]

Yeah

You can 2 hit kill with heavies, 3 hit with knives

Heavies has less range and they are slower though

[hasty jolt]

so no 1 hit kill side takedowns like 3 and 4

[limpid pond]

Holy fuck 2042 players are so bad

[brittle wind]

No, side takedowns needs critical health, depends on the side too, blunt weapons has the best arc if I remember correctly

Like around 160 degrees

[hasty jolt]

so theres some wiggle room if not directly behind

[brittle wind]

Yeah, depends on the weapon type

Heavies has the smallest wiggle room, knives and blunts generally more generous

I use heavies anyways due to utility

Like breaking windows and such

You can even damage tanks for like 1 or 2 hp lol

[covert ermine]

nah, our community just isn't full of sweats and neck beards. Also, SBM does not exist in 2042. Which is a good thing, SBM is cancerous

[limpid pond]

No that's the opposite. 2042 has plenty of dogshit players instead that don't know how to play the game

[covert ermine]

That's cute, but no.

[limpid pond]

It's cute you think it's not lmfaooo

[naive ember]

There's sweats everywhere in 2042

[covert ermine]

idk what server y'all are on but completely diff experience for me lmao

[naive ember]

NA breakthrough can get sweaty 95% of the time

Same with CQC

[covert ermine]

never noticed tbh

[limpid pond]

Never said there were sweats in the game. Just absolute braindeads that go 3 and 20 while sniping

[covert ermine]

I mean you gotta start somewhere lol. I remember being at the level. Pretty rude to lash out without letting people try

[limpid pond]

Trying to say bf 2042 isn't full of braindeads means you don't play the game. Can find a lobby rn and drop 80 kills and have at least 8 teammates go double neg

Nah it's not when I can tell them to push yet they'd rather try to get mouthy in the chat

Lmfao some of these dudes make more money per hour than they do kills in a hour. They're more useful working lmao

[covert ermine]

You're just generalizing now

[limpid pond]

I'm not

It's a proven fact lol

[covert ermine]

You cant take an instance and just inseert it across the entire community

[wicked jay]

I managed to find a steelbook for this game

[covert ermine]

proven? Lmao bro does statistics on the side of being overwhelmingly negative

[limpid pond]

I can and have. I have over 900 hours in the game. I see it every lobby. There's more shitters than there are good players

[covert ermine]

Man, it's people like you that have a hard time with our community. How about a half glass full approach instead of lashing out smh

[limpid pond]

I've already tried the half glass full approach

Saying they aren't braindead makes 0 sense

[last mortar]

Why is every new mode a frelling steam roll experience, that's what I want to know.

[rotund ridge]

https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf2042/profile/psn/xXDreadXx7404/overview

?

[limpid pond]

What

[rotund ridge]

This you?

[limpid pond]

Yeah that's me

[covert ermine]

Again, i have no idea what server you're on because I don't have the same problems you are referring to. Only issues I've had is medics not being medics. I have over 200 hours, not sure what the complaints are

[rotund ridge]

Curious what servers game type you are dropping in and doing 80 kills a game

[limpid pond]

Na east

[covert ermine]

yeah that made me chuckle too

[limpid pond]

Oh yall fr??

Lmao no chance yall think I don't

[covert ermine]

80 kills is believable. But every single game? Come on now bruh

[limpid pond]

I didn't say every single game bruh lmao

[covert ermine]

I got a 3.0 kdr and i can get 80 every now and then

[rotund ridge]

He averages 2.51. He isn’t doing 80 plus kills a game

Not even close

[limpid pond]

Fluff I played on your eu servers and still dropped 80 on 120 cope

[covert ermine]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jackson-comendo-picoca-gif-9669437860846841235

[rotund ridge]

We can see your stats, why lie?

[limpid pond]

Lmao chat doesn't know

I had a 1.8 2 weeks ago

Here I got yall

[hasty jolt]

chat doesnt care*

[orchid marsh]

skibidi toilet in battlefield when

[hasty jolt]

tomorrow

[orchid marsh]

really??!!

[hasty jolt]

yeah

no foolin

[orchid marsh]

this is unbelievable

absurd

i cannot believe my ocular senses at the moment

if bf6 doesnt fix my boy c5 launching i will cry

in 2042 they BUTCHERED c5 launching

(even though it was in the trailer)

[chilly jacinth]

It has been butchered since Bf1

[orchid marsh]

i understand bf5 and bf1

theyre supposed to be a bit more gritty

[chilly jacinth]

Can c4 launch in portal though

[orchid marsh]

dont think so..

im a proud portal HATER

because theres no bf4

[rocky gust]

portal's downfall is too much freedom in server settings

[orchid marsh]

if i see another afghanistan roleplay with role weapons turned on im gonna tweak out

[rocky gust]

they trust idiots in battlefield who want dogshit milsim styles and make unplayable garbage like afghan 1000% dmg servers

[orchid marsh]

then they back them up with the bloody hardcore modes

[dapper river]

that was depicting TNT in bf portal. It's possible in-game, not false advertising

[orchid marsh]

but why no c5 launching....

i want to shoot a ford 2030 honda civic at a gunship

wait what

ford honda civic

im very smart i swear

did any of yall notice the fancy new conquest and breakthrough loading screens???

how has this game got more support that the games that actually had alright launches

[surreal juniper]

They're soft testing features for the new BF

[rocky gust]

yeah how does this game that receives so much support still has mouse input issues and a recoil bug

[hasty jolt]

i remember in BF2 waiting for the clan server to start seeing how far we could launch transport vehicles across Kharkand

[chrome pumice]

It says I own BF 2042 Elite Upgrade but when I go to install it cancels the install. How do I fix this

It removed the specialists I had as well

[silent perch]

i dont get mouse input issues, never have tbh.. and i dont get the recoil bug thing either.. i get poor recoil if i aim and shoot right away, but it tells you that will happen in the hints, or it did before they disappeared.

[olive remnant]

You don’t get mouse input issues.

When it’s an engine level issue?

[vocal tusk]

Some players just arent sensitive to it

[silent perch]

im highly sensitive to microstutters, but have never experienced an input issue, what should i look for?

i mean, its not like the crosshair doesnt go where i put it so idk lol

[vocal tusk]

Input you make not matching your movements, inconsistent feeling/sensitivity

Its much more noticeable at lower FPS

[silent perch]

crazy, i dont ever seem to get that issue.

[vocal tusk]

I play at 250 FPS+ all the time, so I basically never notice it either

[silent perch]

im playing 4k at 160fps and just dont experience that

[vocal tusk]

There is some other aiming and recoil weirdness that contributes to aim feeling off.

Like on some weapons, after extended fire your aiming cursor and weapon model/sight become desynced

[olive remnant]

Im just very sensitive to those type of issues since i have a very uh.. competitive playstyle. So any factor thats not controlled by me that deters me is just unforgivable

I dont have the most cracked pc build but id say its a solid 7.5/10 so in terms of frames its ok but man the input in general feel so clunky

[silent perch]

i only swap between like 4 maybe 5 weapons so i might just get lucky idk.. but again ive not encountered that.. maybe after 20 odd years playing fps games i just deal with what comes idk lol

[silent perch]

i push hard, never sit still.. maybe im just immune lol

[olive remnant]

Just hope they got it down this time. They can’t be making up excuses like covid or no one knowing how to work the engine when theyve had such ample time

[silent perch]

im about the same, probs 8/10 build 9800x3d/7900xtx

[olive remnant]

Thats p similar to my build ye. Probably comes down to personal sensitivity to this kind of thinng

[silent perch]

its mad, i pick up on microstutters to the point i piss my friends off when i play on their rigs as they just dont feel it.. i suppose i should pay more attention and try pick up on the mouse thing.. then again ignorance is bliss.. playing now and just dont feel it..

[rain violet]

Mouse input is super noticeable on wide turns, it feels like you're dragging through something and then eventually it releases tension and slingshots. I've had hitmarkers on people my aim was on but the screen was still lagging behind on leading to weird kills

[silent perch]

that sounds like mouse smoothing? have u got that on or no?

[rain violet]

No, I only use raw input

[vital quail]

Um spam 🤓

Reported

[vocal tusk]

Bot was having issues I think. This is it catching up on its backlog haha

[patent prism]

Better late than never, I guess.

[thick saffron]

servers down?

[radiant kettle]

its quite noticeable especially after bfv or any other game without such issues

[rain violet]

Plus you can test the recoil bug yourself pretty easy by either aiming straight down and you can no longer control recoil, or fight recoil and then adjust your aim and your sight completely breaks from screen centre.

[radiant kettle]

yup

i dont get when people say everything is alright with gunplay in this game

ITS NOT

maybe its not that bad at higher framerates. but i atleast have 144+ and still feel that

[long flint]

thoughts on railgun sniping?

[silent perch]

oh ok, see i dont ever just hold the trigger.. maybe thats why i dont notice it.. i tend to shoot in controlled bursts

[silent perch]

honestly i dont have a problem with it, not saying its not there but i just dont find it a noticeable issue, it def doesnt make it unplayable anyway. i have played every bf ever released too, but i try not to compare them as they are their own entity. no point having them all look/feel the same or its like playing a dlc

anyone got recommendations for capture software, wana record some gameplay so i can watch it back to try pic out these issues.

[vocal tusk]

What platform?

Wait...PC...use OBS

[autumn scroll]

is soflam highlights for enemy team while not catching target?

i mean if i see through it like through binoculars

[autumn scroll]

railgun imba. thermal 6x imba. 3dspot imba. EBAA imba. ELCRAM imba. SVK imba. VSS imba.

[vocal tusk]

Soflam is for spotting, and designating ground and air targets. Designated vehicles will allow players with a launcher equipped to see that they are lock-onable (I dont think thats a word), lock them on and do damage at range without aiming. It also allows the Javelin to do a top attack, which heavily does more damage

[autumn scroll]

i know what soflam is. thanks. i asked - is enemy see me when i use soflam as binoculars?

by some reason on hardcore servers soflam is the 2nd tool that 3dspot enemy EVEN if it is disabled

[vocal tusk]

They should get directional info on where they are locked/soflammed from. But its been so long since I used it...im not 100% certain

[autumn scroll]

by some reason they start shoot me immediate like i spot myself

lets test it on portal with me?

i remember that soflam in bf3 was a placeable turret with remote control. thats why it has a red flashlight, enemy is trying to hit that tool and denied 70% times, cause the tool was very small

if soflam is binoculars that is spoting myself its like self-kill device

[vital quail]

There is a red light similar to glint when someone uses soflam

[silent perch]

ok ill try it, does it work with amd gpus? tried it before but it was like watching 8 bit games lol

[vocal tusk]

Yes, it should work fine. Either way it will be better than AMDs own recording software.

[silent perch]

ill try it. is it noob friendly? never been into capture really

[vocal tusk]

Its very noob friendly. It asks you some questiosn on first launch, just tell it you will use it for recording, not streaming and it should do everything for you. Just press start recording (Or set up a hot key to do that) and you are good to go

[obsidian tide]

It loosely reminds me of how BC2 would eventually cause shots to spray out more under sustained fire.

[silent perch]

perhaps i mistook that as a realism factor.. ive never shot a gun on sustained fire and it stayed perfectly aimed lol

[obsidian tide]

I would not call it realism.

[silent perch]

can you shoot a real assault rifle, lmg or smg in fully auto and have all the bullets hit the same spot? i cant, i get a least a few that deviate from poa.. and i was in the army for 4 years lol

[long flint]

the fuck dis i js read

[late gate]

Anyone online rn?

[pearl halo]

I can’t launch

[glacial zodiac]

Since the update was performed, I cannot play - it deconfigures my internet, the firewall fails, and additionally I get driver errors when everything was working perfectly before. I don't know what's happening or when it will be fixed. I can see this isn't an isolated issue as many of us are having the same problem.

[late gate]

Damn lol want people I can actually communicate with in game lol

[late gate]

You ain’t lying lol, only way to get a lmg to hit near the same spot is one shot at a time but than you’re short cycling the hell out of the gun

[pearl halo]

Yes

It’s very annoying

[silent perch]

i must be a massive noob, i can only get it to record the top left quarter on the screen lol like its trying to record 1080p worth of my 4k screen.. idk im going to bed ill have a look tomoro.
peace everyone

think i solved it seems like im only getting a low res 1080p recording from 4k gameplay 😕

[trim glacier]

Is someone still one and maybe want to play togehter ?

[wicked jay]

I am the Battlefield himself.

[trim glacier]

Really ?🤣

[autumn scroll]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT RPG CAN LOCK TARGETS

with dart gun

without direct visual

instead of javelin, that can be blocked, evaded and requires visual

[autumn scroll]

RPG imba

gamedesigner needs 2x salary for that, or maybe 3x or even percent of franchase

he created imba to balance imba then start to sell clothes.

[rain violet]

Yeah OBS is the best for recording, and especially replay buffer

[next onyx]

Bots working!

[obsidian tide]

Correct. That is how the Tracer Dart works.

Once you initially lock it, that is all you need.

[rare egret]

what is imba?

[obsidian tide]

Imba must be the user's shorthand of imbalance.

[autumn scroll]

javelin needs direct visual to launch with dart gun. instead RPG dont need it

[arctic grove]

i shat my pants

fk

[next onyx]

We originally had the feature to lock to tanks through cover with the javeli nbut it was removed as it was overpowered.

Extremely easy to abuse.

[brittle wind]

That's the norm of online multiplayer games. 80% of CoD players are below 1 KD for example.

[pearl ridge]

Yeah and they're all on my team

[next onyx]

Not gonna lie. This game is starting to get really annoying with how boring it gets.

I like tryharding to carry a team and making a comeback but when a bunch of players stack all the challenge gone and it's like :)))

[pearl ridge]

Tell me about it. Most of the maps suck, the gunplay is bland, the vehicles are so ubiquitous that I'm forced to play engie even while half the team is already doing that

[next onyx]

Yet when there's an actual challenge its some dude who abuses the cheesiest shit like armour and masterkeys.

[plush echo]

I mean they literally stopped making content what do you expect

[blazing coral]

seems like a skill issue

[brittle wind]

Solution is playing infantry only maps

[next onyx]

Oh wait I should actually clarify

[pearl ridge]

You must be new here

[brittle wind]

Let vehicle tryhards farm bots

[next onyx]

My side stacking.

[plush echo]

Literally the only somewhat fun part imo

[next onyx]

Wait do you even read

[brittle wind]

Infantry vs infantry is very balanced in 2042 imo, classes, operators etc.

[next onyx]

I've been playing Tact Conq Grind cause it's where the majority of players are.

The balance is that everything is overpowered against each other making things frustrating to use against each other.

[plush echo]

Very balanced if people play all their roles, becomes a problem when there’s no medic or recon

[pearl ridge]

Tried Grind. It's even worse than it was in V.

At least V actually had decent map designs like the bridge on. The swampy map that has shitty LOD glitches.

[next onyx]

Bf5's grind was good because they did map layout first with the playercount.

[pearl ridge]

But Renewal is absolute shit for this because B point's top level faces one way and makes for a hell of a sniper nest but only for one team

[next onyx]

I don't mind this version of grind but it isn't grind.

It's just Squad conq with 64 players.

[brittle wind]

I mean, you won't find engineers in infantry vs infantry maps besides Boris noobs and Crawford players

Recon is also largely useless

Besides in Haven

[plush echo]

It’s very useful in conquest when you need spawn points to rush a capture a point and apply pressure

[brittle wind]

Oh true

I mostly play as assault since I finished my operator T1 grind

Besides Boris lol

[plush echo]

It can literally be make or break sometimes, I’ve single handedly turned around games by using blasco and jamming enemy radar spawning my squad in a lowkey part of the enemy side

[brittle wind]

I sometimes switch to Blasco when snipers annoy me though, towards the end of the matches

[next onyx]

If I'm ever to play recon it's just gonna be with the m16a3 as Blasco.

Or a PDW.

M16a3 has tonnes of reserve making it a great all kit weapon.

[azure meteor]

Y'know, I've always been confused on why Recon gets respawn beacons (In all BFs). It's always seemed like a support thing to me since support is built as a more stationary class

[plush echo]

Well because not all recons are snipers

[next onyx]

Recons can be relatively round the front lines.

[plush echo]

Yes

So it’s very useful having a spawn beacon because, their job is to infiltrate

Blasco is perfect for that

[brittle wind]

I hope next BF won't have an SMG medic meta or an AR medic meta

[next onyx]

They should really just change recons name to infiltrator.

[brittle wind]

Paik is also good as an offensive recon

Due to wallhacks

[plush echo]

Paik was the easiest T1

[azure meteor]

Yeah, that's fair.

Actually, now that I think about it, people who actually play support like a point defense class are typically on a capture point you can respawn on anyways

[brittle wind]

Easiest for me was Casper, because I played 128 Rush

I got it in like 2-3 hours lol

[azure meteor]

It seems like Medic is being merged into support in the next game

[brittle wind]

I hope so

[azure meteor]

So assault will likely have ammo

[brittle wind]

I hope so too

[plush echo]

I use Casper only when I’m sniping

[brittle wind]

I never use him, I would rather use Rao

Rao's passive is really good

[next onyx]

Rao is the best offensive recon so I just go whatever the fuck.

[brittle wind]

I think he's the best defensive recon

His gadget is good at offense but unlike Paik he can't shoot while using it

[next onyx]

Just smoke up, hack, then kill.

[plush echo]

Nah Casper still is for me

[azure meteor]

Imo this is how classes should be:

Assault | Ammo and Rifles
Engineer | Explosives and SMGs
Support | Medic and LMGs/DMRs
Recon | Snipers

Stuff like carbines and shotguns can either be given to a specific class or be neutral like in 4

[brittle wind]

Or you can smoke up, use goggles and kill as paik

[next onyx]

Raos hack traces in real time, For all the short time it works its way easier to get accurate shots.

[plush echo]

ideally yes, idk if you remember ghost recon phantoms but it was pretty much like that

[brittle wind]

I agree, I want PCCs for recon too though

[next onyx]

It goes hand in hand.

I just think Rao's wallhack has greater potential because it spots everyone around the person you hack with zero cooldown.

Or whatever cooldown there is it's tiny.

[azure meteor]

pccs would def be interesting

I kinda like recon having shotguns (if they're restricted to a class)

It's a weird combo but it sorta acts like a subclass

[brittle wind]

BFV recon had pistol carbines and they were very fun, I want the same thing in a modern era

[azure meteor]

A realistic vector would go crazy (Half-related. I'm pretty sure it's an smg, not a pcc)

[brittle wind]

Vector can have no recoil if they decide to slash it's RPM in half

Instead of 1200 rpm weapon with high recoil it would be 600 rpm weapon with no recoil

But devs rather decide to give it recoil when irl gun has no recoil lol

[next onyx]

For balance.

[azure meteor]

Technically it should have negative recoil. From what I've heard, it actually pulls down when firing

[next onyx]

Same idea with the AEK but you know.

The realistic depiction of weapons could be interesting for a weapon balance perspective.

The AN94's hyperburst recoil would hit it after the second shot which I think is cool.

But they'll have to give it a massive drawback, Fucked velocity, etc.

It works with the vector because the gun is close range and you're not going to use a bullet hose to a crazy range.

[azure meteor]

Yeah. The only game I've seen do the vector right is Insurgency: Sandstorm. And that's cause it's mostly a PvE game with one-shot headshots on basically any weapon

[brittle wind]

Making them slow firing would be a massive drawback

[azure meteor]

It's an interesting challenge to balance guns with near-zero recoil

[robust ether]

I personally really don't like giving the lmg class medic gadgets. It feels wrong to me

[rain violet]

BC2 medics were super strong because of that.

[brittle wind]

I don't want another SMG medic meta

[next onyx]

The Ak74 in COD got a zero vertical recoil mod which actually wasn't bad.

[azure meteor]

It does feel... weird

I hope they give support something like DMRs as a secondary choice

Or just do it like 4 where any class can choose carbines and shotguns

[next onyx]

There is definitely a big problem with what to decide with the weapons for the classes.

Medic with LMG's I think would be really interesting as it would force them to work with assaults if they dropped ammo. Bad co 2.

Well. Support.

[robust ether]

Stuff like this is again why I say a 5 class system would be very beneficial. It always becomes a battle of "who gets the engineer equipment" and "who gets the medic equipment" and almost all of the time no matter what they chose it feels wrong

[azure meteor]

I pray they properly balance DMRs no matter what class gets them. 4 is a good showcase of misbalanced DMRs

[next onyx]

There's always one class that gets cucked.

I say that word way too much but my point stands.

[rain violet]

If they make another snoozefest two tap DMR I swear

[next onyx]

I miss my RSC from bf5.

That was actually really fun.

[robust ether]

I love the BFV slrs, though they are probably a bit OP

[next onyx]

Recon SLR's were fucking busted.

Assault Semis were also busted.

Well. For the most part.

360 RPM semi autos were the king of semis.

Or the long 2HK ones.

There was very little room for experimentation.

[azure meteor]

There is one major issue with that tho

If you have assault, engineer, medic, support, and recon; what does assault get?

[robust ether]

I remember that for the longest time I really only played Assault with an M1A1 Carbine

[next onyx]

The selbstlader 1916 was actually pretty well balanced and had a big mag to boot.

[robust ether]

Assault gets all that anti-infantry gadgets

[next onyx]

I forget about that gun but I'll say I think that was a more fun semi.

[robust ether]

Turner SMLE is really good particularly if you get 20 round mags

[next onyx]

I'd be willing to see assault with ammo crates and C4 like in bad co 2 if it meant a new way to play the game.

No one remembers in the beta where the turner could get a 20 round mag and reload in a flash.

20+1.

I abused that to shit.

[robust ether]

Oh and the gewehr 43. I don't think there's a single video game where the G43 is a bad gun 😭

[azure meteor]

I guess, yeah. Giving them stuff like claymores could be cool

[rain violet]

Honestly at this rate I worry less about the weapons per class and more if we're going to have another FPS game with gadget based wallhacks.

[next onyx]

Barely anyone knows how to use claymores and it's really sad.

It's funny seeing people fly as slow as it is.

[robust ether]

I honestly don't ever really use claymores or AP mines in video games, their playstyle doesn't really appeal to me

[next onyx]

In a game where people run armour I don't feel sorry.

[azure meteor]

... It's a tripwire

It's basically just a one-sided proximity mine

[next onyx]

Oh I've never used AP mines seriously either.

They're stupid in bf5.

I've found a use for claymores offensively and it actually kinda works?

[robust ether]

Though I could see how Claymores or AP mines could be useful if you use it the right way in specific situations as long as your enemy doesn't hear you set it

[next onyx]

Medic with LMG's I think will be interesting.

[brittle wind]

Yeah

[next onyx]

As long as engineer share carbines with assault then I'm all for that.

[brittle wind]

Medic will be a better assault than assault in a game with SMG medics

[azure meteor]

I have a feeling it'll be much better than Medic with SMGs

Medic with SMGs is just a better assault

[next onyx]

If SMG's were all kit then hey freedom of choice.

Ehhh I don't really believe that? Keep in mind. The best "SMG" in 2042 is the Pp29 which is more akin to an assault rifle.

I don't even consider that a true SMG.

Assault rifles have way more range than SMG's are 9 out of 10 should win at a ranged engagement.

[brittle wind]

BFV had the same meta, BF1 had the same meta, 2042 didn't had that meta because assault was busted with Zain, Mackay and even Sundance

BF3 and 4 had the same meta but this time AR medics lol

[next onyx]

Bf1 assault had SMGs. Not Medic.

Bf5 medics were forced to use SMGs.

[brittle wind]

Fedorov is better than many SMGs

[next onyx]

There were boltie carbine sure but they were more niche.

That's more akin to assault rifle and support could retaliate super well.

[azure meteor]

I honestly really like Bf1 medic. It served as a half step between assault and recon

[next onyx]

SMG's could ruin the fedorov in close range too.

In this theoritical scenario.

[brittle wind]

Yeah but still

[next onyx]

In bf6, If medic had both options of SMG and LMG it would make the class flexible but not ground breaking. This isn't PP29 medic but just PBX medic.

I'm gonna assume they're going back to med boxes and packets too.

Which will slow down the action.

[brittle wind]

PBX is better than PP imo

[next onyx]

PBX is super strong yeah.

[azure meteor]

Eh, I still prefer LMG and DMR for medic

Cause Engineer is like made for SMGs

[brittle wind]

This

[next onyx]

Engineer needs range and carbines are way more usable than SMGs at a range.

Barely anyone used SMG's for engineer in bf4.

[brittle wind]

No one uses engineer in infantry only maps but SMGs for engineer would be a way to force people use them

BF3 had better class balance then because engineers had carbines as their exclusive weapon

[next onyx]

SMGS being all kit would help classes like recon keep their power in check.

[azure meteor]

Carbines might be classless

I wouldn't hate them being put on engineer tho

[brittle wind]

I don't like the idea of carbines honestly

[next onyx]

I'd be up for some leniency with sharing carbines with assault but that muddies the water.

[brittle wind]

Everyone gets an AR, might as well make it like 2042 lol

[next onyx]

They're assault rifles that are a step below actual AR's.

[azure meteor]

Engineer could be a force of nature if they brought back the debris thing from 3 where you can die from a chunk of building falling on you

[brittle wind]

Yeah

Not all maps had debris though

[next onyx]

I can't really speak for 2042 at all because Carbines and AR's are pretty much the same thing functionally.

They just have more power up close and reduced power at a range.

Kinda the same as SMG's but not as severe.

[brittle wind]

It was useful in grand bazaar and seine crossing but useless in metro

I personally don't like the idea of carbine class, I think way to go is every class having 2 weapon types

[azure meteor]

Idk why. Most modern rifle-caliber carbines are semi-auto

[brittle wind]

Assault having ARs and SMGs
Engi having SMGs and LMGs
Support having LMGs and Marksman rifles
Recon having snipers and Marksman rifles

So there is a gradual cline from assault to recon

[azure meteor]

What about shotguns 🥲

[brittle wind]

Shouldn't exist

Literally

[azure meteor]

Shotguns are weird. Most games massively nerf them from irl yet they're still called op by the general community

[olive monolith]

Whats the most overpowred m5a3 setup for mid range and short range endangerments.

I just got a legendary skin for it

[next onyx]

Wrapped suppressor subsonic ammo and fusion holo

[olive monolith]

Dosent subsonic kill the fire rate, range, and damage??

[next onyx]

No.

[olive monolith]

Huh..

[rain violet]

Subsonic just nerfs bullet velocity

[rain violet]

Have you seen BF2042 shotguns? You have a full auto shotty and a pump that one taps out to 20m with ease

[brittle wind]

Short barrel/vertical muzzle break/wrapped supp
Standard extended/subsonic/high power
LWG/launcher/launcher
Red dot/smart holo/whatever scope you want to use

Is the setup I would use

Smart holo is very useful in desert maps because it has a blue sight, I have a hard time seeing regular red dot in desert maps. Might be a me issue though

[brittle wind]

BFV had the right idea, they were only useful in like 5 meters except for Drilling which is a sniper

Shotguns were less annoying in BFV because they demanded extreme close range and that game had Type 2A most OP SMG ever to exist in any BF

So you could shut those Type 2A users instantly

Btw I finally figured out the best class setup for next BF, it just needs to be a mix of BC2 and 2042 lol

Assault: Ammo box, ARs, DMRs, Tactical
Engineer: Anti tank, SMGs, DMRs, Tactical
Support: Medic, LMGs, DMRs, Tactical
Recon: Self explanatory, Snipers, DMRs, Tactical

[next onyx]

PBX was way stronger than the Type 2.

250 MS TTK was extremely fast but the gun was a bore to use.

[covert ermine]

Chat not showing up but I didn’t disable it? Weird af

[rain violet]

I've noticed lately cycling the chat I no longer get the display in chat that tells me what setting it's on.

[brittle wind]

250 ms TTK in a game with usually long TTK though

With no recoil

With 50 bullets

2042 has faster TTK than V

[next onyx]

SMG's in their prime killed in 267.

Oh my bad.

They killed way quicker.

The type 2a killed only even slightly quicker outside of its TTK.

Both the Suomi and Type 2A killed in 233 MS. Just the type 2 way way easier to use.

[candid mist]

During this Liquidators event time, do you get extra ribbons from playing that game mode or just earn them from every mode?

[vital quail]

Usually it gives double progress but a lot of events people report it not working right

Other game modes just give normal progress

[candid mist]

Most of the past events list that it gives double progress I can't find anywhere on their blog or in game saying it for this event.

[wicked jay]

Just curious, do you guys play co op? I did a co op breakthrough match with 3 other players and it was a lot of fun. It gave me insurgency vibes

[candid mist]

Yeah I play with 2 others.

I got 16 ribbon progress in 2 rounds... so I'm thinking it might be giving double progress.

[wicked jay]

I played against advanced bots and it was some of the most fun I've had in awhile

I'm just wondering if there's a serious co op community out there because I'm down for more

[next onyx]

It felt like double for me but I wasn't really paying attention at the rate of ribbons I was earning.

[brittle wind]

It's double imo, I counted it, I got 3 ribbons in a match but it progressed 6 ribbons

[autumn scroll]

try my portal SQUAD24, i tried to increase TTK but made HC gamemode

[brittle wind]

I don't play hardcore I prefer softcore

[zealous loom]

[autumn scroll]

@brittle wind there's ability to clone gamemode to enable 3dspot back. I personally hate ability to highlight hidden enemy with single keypress. Sniper gameplay is hiding. Ability to show sniper position to whole team forces gamedesigner to make sniper scope too easy to aim... then he created "headshot" making gameplay random-dependent (as in BF3 headshot was just message with no damage bonus, and its correct). Then without imbaguns game becomes unplayable

game should be enough complex to attract people to play together. once some weaponset/equipment becomes independent - people leave, because other sets is useless, and current set is boring

[vital quail]

[plush echo]

[tender swallow]

hi

i dont know why but hourglass is a map ive come to hate as a new 2042 player

probably because that middle objective idk

uhhh C objective i think?

[plush echo]

It’s probably the worst map lol

[rain violet]

It's OK as a small form map like TDM but awful anything else.

[brittle wind]

City section of Hourglass would be fine as a grind map or something

[obsidian tide]

Progress Update: After fixing some account information, 2042 is playable again. For now.

[wicked jay]

I did a few co op breakthrough matches tonight and god damn it was fun. It was such a chill experience. It almost reminded me of playing checkpoint in insurgency sandstorm

[autumn scroll]

Most of the maps designed for rush 16 v 16 istead playing conquest 64 v 64.

Hourglass a b c points plays fair while in rush, you go uderfire and have almost no covers, but they are. Instead CQ needs cover right there right now, and nearest cover is in 15 meters. So you die, well played

In complex with broken respawn system that can spawn you on squadmate before his death and sectors that have respawns in clear area instead of holes or between crates, this cant be fixed without hours of teamwork with fully cooperation w support. Whats here? Blocked pm and closed feedback, announced fridaynight like vodka. Every week update 2gb with new ingame clotches. Thats the end

[vital quail]

Definitely a Feb 2025 joiner

[vital quail]

Condor pilot who didn't know how to fly it once again

Also surprise surprise, it's a recon player

[obsidian zinc]

what if...

what if we could make custom classes in the next version of Portal?

so we could recreate the class systems from older titles.

[pearl ridge]

God Grind is such shit

Pretty much only blowouts where one side captures everything immediately while the other sits there and snipes

And the one balanced match I got was a little too balanced because we finished 1-0

[naive ember]

🤫

Always complaining

[safe karma]

As most people do

[vocal tusk]

LOL, this is new levels of complaining tho. Complained both about it being one sided, and it being TOO balanced.

Just shows that you cant win with this guy

[next onyx]

He's been crying for 5 fucking years

He doesn't shut up.

[vocal tusk]

Its an appropriate game for it TBH. But the above is just laughable haha

[next onyx]

Someone having problems in all battlefield games? Just randomly disconnect me from servers

[elfin void]

I had that in 2042 for like 3 days

And then it stopped and it's been fine ever since

[untold tendon]

Oh ok ty, it happened in bf4 and 2042 today, i'll wait then

[frozen loom]

I can stop ranking up now.

[sturdy wasp]

Hi guys! I having issues with mouse delay. I open ads (no delay with aim click) but the fire after that comes a lil slower than usual (.5sec) sometimes its okay and but mostly its not.

Could use your help with this

[umbral wigeon]

i know all BF4 PC servers are getting ddosed for 2 weeks now

you cant play more than a few minutes

you can only in certain times when apparently the person who is attacking the servers is sleeping

[dawn quiver]

V Is $1.94 on PS Store rn

2042 is 10.49 on PS Store

[obsidian tide]

Time to ask the dreaded question, as a topic: How much have you spent on Battlefield 2042 so far?

[umbral wigeon]

-100 hours. and it was too much

[dawn quiver]

$20.98

2042 is my fav

But the building destruction is hella weak compared to others

[umbral adder]

$0.00
0 hours
0 seconds thinking about buying it

[obsidian tide]

We know. Physics and segmented or other microdestruction got cut down heavily to be able to have the player scale in such a short dev timeframe. And also still work but not really on the Xbox One and PS4.

[naive ember]

Yet you're in #battlefield-2042 so the game does live rent free

[obsidian tide]

Now back to the topic of the how much has been spent on it survey.

[umbral adder]

true, but I'm following the whole BF discord in anticipation of being back in the BF community again.

you're right though - it's like I'm posting in the wrong area or something. 😂

[hardy bison]

Has anyone played Battlefield 6

[naive ember]

Dude they already showed people playing it

[untold tendon]

200+

[vocal tusk]

Those people in the Labs trailer are play testing 2042, on the haven map.

[rocky gust]

one sided is valid but... complaining about being TOO balanced is just crazy

[brittle wind]

7-8 dollars for game I think

[fickle wharf]

its fluff footage with 2042

Too bad the game crashes

[elfin void]

Love the Supreme balaclava

[lusty timber]

its only me or its really having some connection issue in bf2042?

[naive ember]

Only you

[elfin void]

Does it disconnect you mid game?

I had that too recently and it resolved itself after a few days

[lusty timber]

yea got kicked from match and few times in inventory, but seems its working rn

[frozen loom]

My teammates are morons.

They keep ignoring the enemy apache who's destroying everyone.

I keep hacking with Rao.

And SOFLAMing it.

Even saying in chat to destroy it.

It was on Discarded and the apache just keeps destroying the AA turret on top of the building.

[untold tendon]

welcome to my games

[brittle wind]

Once in a manifest match we had a transport chopper on top of the flag dropping spawns on to us, I've been telling team to destroy them for 5 minutes before match ended in 10 minutes

[elfin void]

They should add an LFG section in this server so you can play together and take out vehicles effectively

[brittle wind]

I stopped playing regular conquest and bt altogether, I'm playing infantry only maps now

[frozen loom]

After the game turns to the enemy apache just war thundering everyone causing the score to be 250-750, I just leave.

No point in trying to take it down.

No one wants to rocket it when I assist with Rao hacks and SOFLAM.

Literally EZ mode.

[untold tendon]

add that some maps are terribly unbalanced and it's gg

[frozen loom]

Anytime my team ignores enemy vehicles, I leave.

[brittle wind]

Engineer is almost a necessity in some modes

[frozen loom]

I used to main Engineer, but I got tired of Recon teammates never supporting.

[brittle wind]

Why the fk Brawler can ignore mines though?

[untold tendon]

The funny part is that 60% of the lobby is engineer xD

[frozen loom]

So now I'm Rao, but there are no engineers to help destroy them.

[naive ember]

Most engineer players are trash nowadays

[frozen loom]

True. I was a good engineer.

I went after vehicles almost exclusively.

[hushed lark]

soflam is bugged rn, no one else can see the lock on indicators

[autumn scroll]

Looking for players in Portal (Full XP): search string SQUAD24

[grave rivet]

Turns out, crows aren’t even real.

[obsidian tide]

They do not land. They instead fly into the ground.

[frozen loom]

Engineers can as long as they have their rockets out.

[hushed lark]

no they can't, I have't seen one since the IFVs dropped

when I aim at the vehicle it appears, but when I just hold my rpg nothing shows up

[frozen loom]

RPGs are the ones that are bugged for it.

My M5 sees them all the time.

[hushed lark]

damn that's dumb, I guess I should try the M5

[frozen loom]

I use the M5 for the extra rocket and I like the sights on it more.

[autumn scroll]

[hushed lark]

yeah the sight is better but I like the extra damage from the rpg, I need fewer shots to kill vehicles so I have less chance of dying before I get it

[frozen loom]

The extra rocket has more opportunities to land a shot though.

[untold tendon]

someone to play? i'm tired of 0-12 snipers that go random on the map

[autumn scroll]

@untold tendon i've asked to join my squad24 where the snipers is nerfed

after 30 minutes of waiting nobody joined

[austere geyser]

Hazard zone full clean exit? Someone?

[chilly jacinth]

Not a surprise at all

[sturdy sky]

anyone else's gaming crashing randomly? I can't finish a match without the game crashing out of nowhere

[chilly jacinth]

Yes it's a wide spread issue that you can't fix

[sturdy sky]

👏

[autumn scroll]

#portal message

[chilly jacinth]

Really boring settings

[autumn scroll]

it can be fixed. after testing or comment why. personal feelings vs social favor

[chilly jacinth]

No

[tardy patrol]

So what is bf labs is it a sequel or na

[robust ether]

Bf labs is a new initiative their launching so that players can test their games before they go live and while they're live

It's basically an expanded CTE

[autumn scroll]

battlefield labs is a marketing trick that abuses feeling to be closer to the genius. to become blogger and create new content, get more subscribers and so on.

maybe its create to make social favor or make game better, but it will be used other way

same as above proposed the server and nobody from "labs waiting room" is joined to test.
people awaits official support, gifts, info-subjects, nobody wants to test

and it means the idea of labs will become sell-booster and nothing personal

[robust ether]

what.

[autumn scroll]

seems strange? why? do you live in different planet?

or maybe our countries is already "done." installation of new world

[obsidian tide]

Did for a time for me. Uncorrupting EA Account setting seems to have helped.

[austere glade]

Man if the new battlefields vehicle to infanty gameplay is the same as 2042 is dead day one lol

[robust ether]

Why are you so hostile dhdjfjf

I was just confused

[autumn scroll]

sorry i just say my own truth

and thats truth references i see other side of the window

[untold tendon]

a dream! xD

[obsidian tide]

The last text before coherence in reading became muddied with comparing the BFLabs testing to the user's own failed attempts to host a Portal testing server.

[robust ether]

Anyways I'm not really a big fan of the Tactical Conquest LTM, 3-flag layout doesn't work for some of those designs 😭

[vocal tusk]

No one is gonna join your random server to help you balance it. You are a random user on a public discord.

Using this as a basis to claim that BF Labs is a PR stunt and no one will test in it is one hell of a crash out lol

[autumn scroll]

thats what i mean!
people will join only popular thing, but test is not popularity

[obsidian tide]

Too much of an association and extrapolation of one testing scenario with another on that user's part.

[autumn scroll]

i dont want to be familar because i pressed few hotkeys in admin panel

[vocal tusk]

Another person with main character syndrome

[autumn scroll]

i guess this balance should return old good battlefield days

[zealous loom]

Doesn't matter what it's for

If it's ass we won't buy the game so

[autumn scroll]

yes, another person what is still alive and should be dead already

[obsidian tide]

Hosting a Portal server for personal mode balancing is not BFLabs testing in scope.

[pine roost]

Was about to post a response gif, IF I COULD

[robust ether]

Guys I recently just unlocked every single gun in 2042 🥳

[vocal tusk]

Congrats

[zealous loom]

Nice

[autumn scroll]

@obsidian tide yes, battlefield labs is community of testers that awaits social elevation instead of tonns of fails to create something that works

[robust ether]

Last gun was the GOL Magnum, super worth it, that gun is so satisfying

Brings me back to BC2 hella

[autumn scroll]

testing is not a social elevation. is agreement to make tonns of mistakes.

but the community wants to success without mistakes

thats the countervariance

[pine roost]

There may be a handful who want to get something out of it I guess, but they will be sorely disappointed

[autumn scroll]

and the developer should keep it in mind

and am sure he is

thats why labs is not a testing tool

[robust ether]

John Battlefield

[autumn scroll]

almost

[pine roost]

truly is

[autumn scroll]

that why referenced john prefer silent live until dog die

because it cannot be changed alone.

[vocal tusk]

The earth blocks the sun at night time, so that must mean the sun revolves around the earth.

this is the level of comprehension happening right here

[zealous loom]

Anyone got to max lvl in 2042 here?

[vocal tusk]

I only know 2 players who are S999

[rain violet]

Getting to max level means playing BF2042, and I'm no masochist

[zealous loom]

Wonder how long that must take

[vocal tusk]

1000s of hours.

[zealous loom]

I need a new BF goal to hold me over

[austere glade]

My goal is just to shoot down or annoy planes or pilots lol

[autumn scroll]

@hallow parrot i saw noone who knows that NTW50 is RPG

[obsidian tide]

The user's argument only has parts of coherent points. The issue is that there is too much conflation of one point with another. This makes it not make sense.

[austere glade]

BF4 was peak anti air gameplay

[autumn scroll]

@hallow parrot damn EBLC-RAM is always owning the whole team

they just cant understand that this rifle kills any light armored like a god

[pine roost]

NTW clearly has RPG in the name, did you not realise?

[austere glade]

You tellin me the NTW can kill the eblc?

[pine roost]

you would have thought so, but bork here cracked the case

50 actually stands for 50 simultaneous mini rockets

[austere glade]

The space marine who put 50 single load bolter shot into his back so he can shoot 50 shells at once

[autumn scroll]

i mean it can OWN EBLC

ownage. really.

[austere glade]

Thats nice to know

[autumn scroll]

AP bullet deal 15 damage.

[austere glade]

I just use the rorsch

[autumn scroll]

6 bullets destroy

[austere glade]

Cause I like rail gun

[autumn scroll]

better but weaker

stronger at short distance

20 with stream capacitor

at long range incoming 15 damage for EBLC seems strange. after 3 shots - it tries to self-care

somewhere

as fast as it can

[robust ether]

Personally really don't like BF4's vehicle balance, feels too OP for me.

I enjoy it in BFV and BF1 far more

[austere glade]

I always loved it, casue the AA gun was peak

[robust ether]

2042 is okay just kinda lackluster

[austere glade]

2042 for me it felt like as an infantry Im kinda sol half the time

[robust ether]

My biggest problems with 2042

• Unfinished on launch
• Worse netcode than BF1 and BFV, not horrible though
• Specialists
• Commarose requests doesn't show up for your squadmates
• Lack of destruction

[austere glade]

comma rose?

[autumn scroll]

correct

[robust ether]

Everything else is entirely tolerable, I'm indifferent on, or I like

[autumn scroll]

destruction smallest problem

imba covers imba

[obsidian tide]

Commo-rose, or either communication or Command rose widget.

[robust ether]

The command wheel that I think might be console exclusive, it's basically how you say "thank you" or "need ammo"

[pine roost]

it's not

[robust ether]

That's for the correction lol I forgot how to spell

[pine roost]

it's available on keyboard too

[austere glade]

Oh so im not crazy

I thought they just ignore me lol

[autumn scroll]

this game shows at edge of the screen any useless info instead of commorose

[obsidian tide]

Hold Q and use Mouse Hover, or Hold Q, Tap F, and Mouse hover to select response.

[robust ether]

Thanks again for that correction lolol, I don't play PC so I have no clue how things are there

[austere glade]

We just hold down q

[pine roost]

fair. I don't touch controller so i'm in the other way round

[autumn scroll]

Anybody can explain how to control that Ranger dog?

[robust ether]

It has a mind of its own

[autumn scroll]

i saw people some way give it commands

[robust ether]

You can mark things for it and it'll go there

[obsidian tide]

AI Sentry Gun follower. Can respond to Spotting.

[robust ether]

But other than that it's entirely AI

I would honestly love to play PC but I'm not as good on keyboard as I am on controller + PC gaming is so expensiveee

[obsidian tide]

Make sure to stay near it. If its pathing breaks or it cannot reach you, it will despawn.

[autumn scroll]

i dont understand. i saw the sniper who use some command and person say "ranger, move to this position"

i dont know what key is required for

[pine roost]

it's on the commorose still, just a different key you press while holding q

[robust ether]

Yeah he probably just marked an objective or used the ping

I honestly never use the ranger tbh

[pine roost]

I know it's a thing, just haven't ever used it as I just call in ranger and let him roam

[autumn scroll]

commorose isnt changed when ranger is on the field. i tried (guess doing something wrong)

lol commorose that name

mortarmen use the word snail, where rose comes from

snail looks like

1 2 3
8 9 4
7 6 5

they say like "you miss, square A1, snail 3"

[obsidian tide]

If it was a circular grid, a la Pie Chart surrounding interior circle, the elements would be "petals" for it.

[autumn scroll]

guess new dice team is not keep in the mind that the wordbook is a method to communicate not just colored album

once i say that am using NTW-50, and people answered "i dont know what do you mean"

i saw "sniper howitzer" and they understand

😄

[obsidian tide]

For 2042, EA DICE favored turning the rose into a "Plus" widget for its design language. This extends to the Communication Rose seen in holding Spot down, as well as the Attachment Hot-Swap Widget.

[autumn scroll]

better favor would be if weapon names was A1 A2 A3 for smgs, B1 B2 for rifles 😄

easier to explain experience

i'd recommend them create morse keybinds for

instead of rose that can be changed with another rose

CS1.6 once presented morse stuff it still works

but... those geniuses

always trying something new.

you press c 1 1 2

and you say something

same could be implemented pressing C few times

or something

because its faster than mouse moving, additional keypressing and defocus

[pine roost]

just isn't controller friendly

but i do prefer that as a communication system

works excellently in arma for ai selection too

[autumn scroll]

AND.... damn is so hard to realize "context action" when you press "spot" on teammate?

aks ammo if no ammo, ask for health if no health, or ask to follow otherwise

[obsidian tide]

Some command widgets in other games use a box with number selections to hunt through submenus for the right action, instead of the rose widget. Akin to learning number combinations+Enter for the right action.

[autumn scroll]

ok, let it be commorose with numbers and mouse scroll is changed each number of the rose, then most often variant is saved upside of the rose

😦

[obsidian tide]

For teammates, this requires Holding Spot and using Mouse Hover to select Need Ammo, Meds, and such. Spot+F is where the Follow Me command is buried under.

[autumn scroll]

yes thats why i propose

hold C (Q originally), then look around, then press F, then move mouse

Have they ever tried to press Q, then F, without preventing own movement?

my hand has only 5 fingers

some workers has 4 i think

nobody has 7

[obsidian tide]

This would enable the use of keyboard clawing to get through the Spot Command widget, or just thumbing in combination with the mouse.

[austere glade]

I can press that fine imo.

My fingies might be weird

[autumn scroll]

and yes, they have to inspect helldivers, tube that requires teammate help to increase reload speed to almost immediate increases teamplay 2x times

but... its a sweet dreams. they fall into investigation between pubg, extraction shooters, war thunder, teamplay, personal ownage and tried to create game for everybody. and failed for any people except personal ownage, because they play anything that burns

or drink... dont remember

[rapid quest]

Is there any game support in this discord? Getting really annoyed about unresolved tickets and different people responding which dont look at the previous answers

[vital quail]

Anything related to problems in the game should be posted on the forums

[rapid quest]

Which they've done nothing about 🙂

[stone cradle]

I know it sucks, but you won't really get help from EA on the discord on game issues

Maybe some helpful people here could help you, but EA, nope

What have you tried so far

[main vale]

How do I Change the vehicle Sitting behind me in the menu?

@vital quail

[vital quail]

I have no idea

[rapid quest]

Portal, back to regular search, waited 48h+, validated files, reinstalled the game, gotten the kills + dmg again

[main vale]

How do I change the background vehicle in the menu?

[rapid quest]

Wdym?

If you go to collections and modify a vehicle it should be the latest background

[main vale]

It just shows the the Buggy with the Mini gun

[sterile steeple]

Hey folks, long-term BF player here and I just saw the post about Battlefield Labs which took me to this Discord. Where can I find more info about it and sign up? Really confusing that the article talks about joining but then drops you here without any info. :/

[main vale]

Maybe searching battlefield labs?

[vital quail]

#battlefield-labs-news #1335997362258186292 #battlefield-labs-discussion

[sterile steeple]

Yeah I tried that but didn't find much other than people asking similar questions 😛

[vital quail]

Most people that I see usually get it solved by just relaunching the game. You could also try and unlock something else and finish a match to see if it comes up in the end of match screen that has everything you unlocked during it

Non portal match

[main vale]

I'm just trying to figure out how to put the EMKV90 Behind my specialist instead of a buggy With a Mini gun.

[rapid quest]

Already done that. Still nuthin

[karmic oasis]

what's with some people not doing their class job?

[restive plaza]

Yeah players have been horible with that recently. Especialy medics walking right over my corpse as i beg desperately for life. Not even in danger they just act like im not there. The support rarely puts down amo or meds, the engineers wont hold objectives and the assaults just charge in senselesly, the recon is either absent, overpopulated, or charging the front line for some reason.

And the last dozen matches it seems like people just let the enemy walk right past the front line.

[torpid pilot]

Everything sucks ass when it first shows up IMO. I remember it was rough too now that you mention it

[unreal gate]

Can you make announcements posts in #game-news for major updates and such? It is a bit odd to find out about the new 8.5 update through Twitter and not be notified here haha

I just realized the tweet came through in #direct-communication but I think people in the server would appreciate a special post with a tag fo big news
