battlefield-2042

[gritty kraken]

i go through the settings and menu completely fine with my mouse cursor but the moment i spawn in a match my character is facing the sky

[merry heart]

you would be delusional if you said they're effective

i took out two tanks just now while hipfiring the recoiless

😎

[night raven]

Fair. I just wonder why I see other players use it. Does it do more than blind?

[rain violet]

Yes, it gives away your position so people can preemptively shoot you in the face

[nocturne current]

Is there a visual bug with Lis G-84 TGM? I can shoot one TV controlled missile, but every missile thereafter and every vehicle I try to get into is bugged.

[vital quail]

is it in solo/co-op matches against bots

[merry heart]

ugh another team that wastes transport helicopters

sometimes i wish for the devs to implement a detriment into people who use condors/hinds/uh-60s as a personal taxi only to waste it in under 30 seconds

[pastel loom]

too far back in my opinion I would get tired of reloading after one shot everytime

[merry heart]

man up then and kill them with knives and swords

[pastel loom]

lmao if I wanted to kill people with knives and sword I could go play for honor or chivalry 😂 but a bonnet would be fire

bayonet

[merry heart]

doesn't take away from the fact that you'll still have to man up

🤣

[nocturne current]

Yes

[vital quail]

the servers they use for those are much lower quality than normal games and a lot of problems occur because of it

lis missle in it is known to cause a lot of problems but just isnt a big enough priority to fix unfortunately

[merry heart]

that feel when you steal a t1 apache only to get shot out of the sky by an enemy TOR

[night raven]

Something I find real funny is how the Metal Gear fanbase is really quiet. And then all the sudden they'll just go to a random game-the second they notice it has a stealth mechanic and then just do the most ansurd stealthy shit. And then they just dip lik wtf.

For example

I saw this dude fwho just played MGV just straight up take out like a whole crowd defending a point with some surppfessors and shit. My guy did the fucking melee kill like 10 times too

I dunno how go explain it all with like a single sentence. But dude y'all gotta see that shit dude

[naive ember]

Yeah one of the reasons why I play Blasco is the ability to place beacons by the enemy and constantly give them a hard time, if they get me and find the spawn ill just get on the pondhawk which is usually available

[pine roost]

You mean someone from a stealth game fanbase essentially playing battlefield like it is one?

[night raven]

Yeah basically. Cool af honestly

[night raven]

There was a rare case where my squad and I were vcing. We decided to take a silent approach with suppressors n shit. Went down a hallway in that oil rig. Halfway down some dude accidentally runs into us and seconds kater it's just a hullet storm in this hall lmao

It reminds me of that one scene in that reveal traiker for 2042. Shame it'll probably never happen again

[chilly dawn]

I once saw a tank in BF4 getting repaired by ~4 engineers all the time and he went 130:0 - I then had to get a tank myself told the team to repair me and used a house as cover to kill him once 🤣 yeah it's fucked if your team doesn't know what they're doing but isn't that every single game out there?

[hazy pumice]

hay gente de habla hispana jugando desde europa? si estan, me escriben para team up unas partidas.

[merry heart]

[merry heart]

Pondhawk go boom

💥

[twilit plume]

@frozen birch

[nimble arch]

Gen fucking hate bf2042

Cant kill a single person bcs they all sweat and run around like cod

Cant wait for bf6

[chilly jacinth]

You'll get demolished there too

[nimble arch]

No its gonna be way different

There wont be any insane cod movements

[chilly jacinth]

Guess you haven't seen the leaks

[verbal sleet]

I feel like bf2042 it's so easy to get kills

Like stupidly easy

[nimble arch]

Its not like cod the movements are slightly different from what I have heard

[nimble arch]

Not at all my servers are very fucking sweaty

[rain violet]

To be fair the bhop is way slower. Feels like momentum loss hits way faster and the dive distance seems really short.

[verbal sleet]

[nimble arch]

They run around insanely and if you walk out in the open field ur gonna get sniped by some recon

[rain violet]

So smoke the open field

[nimble arch]

If u stay inside someone with a k90 would demolish you

-# you would encounter pak users mostly

[hushed tartan]

G428 or M39?

[tall glade]

k30 or pp?

[tall egret]

On xbox which setting for aim assist do i have to disable to prevent my aim to lock and trace on people walking through the scope? Optimally i’d only like to have slow down as an assist

[chilly dawn]

people need to try nowadays BF4, I went like 3:20 every game even tho I played it quite a bunch back in the day. BF 2042 in comparison is really easy as not everyone has 10,000+ hours on it 😂

[verbal sleet]

I was in college at the time when bf4 was popular but I feel like even in that game it was easy to get kills😂

[chilly dawn]

yeah, you can't compare lobbies from 2014 to now unfortunately

[verbal sleet]

Yeah it's a stark difference I agree

[chilly dawn]

it's like any new game is very playable for beginners the first couple of months so OP probably is right that BF6 will be "easy" in the beginning

[verbal sleet]

Everyone is still learning the game too so there is no real meta yet at the start

[chilly dawn]

yeah and player pool is way bigger at the start and "bad" players most likely leave after a couple of months into the game

it gets harder and harder

and then companies like Bungie add SBMM to save bad players from bad experiences and average and good players will get demolished every single round 🙈

[verbal sleet]

Lmaoo I used to be a hater in sbmm but I think games need it now

[wanton zephyr]

3rd party style

[chilly dawn]

I'm not entirely against it either, but think it should always have a free for all mode (server browser) and competitive (which is basically SBMM but rank based)

[verbal sleet]

My girlfriend used to play destiny pvp and the players she got matched with were borderline worthless but she was also ass herself

That's when I understood

[chilly dawn]

I meant Destiny yeah. SBMM in trials is nuts (you need 7 consecutive wins to get the best loot) it's so bad

[verbal sleet]

Yeah I remember going through that it was awful not fun at all

[chilly dawn]

and if you just wanna play around with fun loadouts and go to "normal" PVP you get SBMM and your entire team has 5 kills while you have 20 🤣

[verbal sleet]

Same with getting he recluse just ruined the game for me

There needs to be more leeway with sbmm like it shouldn't be like a ranked match

[chilly dawn]

yeah, BF is way better imho. it also doesn't matter so much how good or bad your team is as too much is going on anyways

3vs3 with 2 plebs is unplayable unfortunately

[chilly dawn]

exactly, just don't team up an entire clan against new players - that's just terrible

[wanton zephyr]

Any info on a rough estimate of a release date for bf6?

[vocal tusk]

None

[wanton zephyr]

With mass testing im going out on a limb here to be optimistic for this year or the following 🤔

[chilly dawn]

EA has provided an official release window for Battlefield 6, stating it will launch in their fiscal year 2026, which runs from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026 [Ref web ID: 0] [Ref web ID: 4] [Ref web ID: 15]. This broad window spans nearly a full year, but historical patterns and additional context can help narrow it down:

[vocal tusk]

Depends on the release of other games like GTA6 TBH.

[chilly dawn]

pretty sure it's going to be Q4 2025 (they released most their BF games in October, November)

[vocal tusk]

Could be Q4 2025 if GTA 6 isnt also releasing then. Q1 2026 if it is

[chilly dawn]

I think BF6 maybe October, GTA 6 around Christmas but that's a total guess

[vocal tusk]

they wont release GTA6 in December

It will be September/October or next year IMO. They dont need a holiday release for sales, but they do need it to release on the near side of a quarter for investors

[wanton zephyr]

Hopefully we get bf6 this year, I'm tired of killing bots late night

[vocal tusk]

and basically no game wants to release at the same time, or close to when GTA6 releases.

[chilly dawn]

well looking at GTA V they did a quadrouple release ranging from September 13 to March 22 lol - maybe we're all correct 🙈

[vocal tusk]

Im in no rush for them to release BF6 tho. Let them have all the time they need to make and test it, then release in 2026

[chilly dawn]

I'd be willing to early access test the sh.. out of it tho (why no beta access?) 🔥

[wanton zephyr]

The disgusting release of bv5.....I think your correct

[vernal hearth]

another day another cheater teleporting to me and killing me

dude has 430 kills and 1 death

and game isnt even halfway done

[tame charm]

if they are good they shouldn't be demolished 😂

should be a balanced game

[vernal hearth]

WTF?>?? i just saw some rc car that noclips into the ground and pops up to kill u?>???

wtf is this game????

[tall egret]

Anyone have a clue? 😅

[chilly dawn]

there's always someone better. esp. if you play 3 players that are equal to your skill and you get 2 potatoes on your team (that's constantly happening in D2, just watch IFrostBolt on Twitch etc.)

[tame charm]

and that's a good thing

balance my friend

[chilly dawn]

one of the top 5 players in the game and yesterday had 8 losses and 7 wins

it's crazy

[tame charm]

you can't have the best players win everytime

that sucks

[chilly dawn]

you obviously don't understand how Trials works or good matchmaking but it's okay

[tame charm]

yea you know so much about me 😮

you obviously know it better 🙂

don't forget that its YOUR opinion

daily dose of sbmm convos

love it

[vernal hearth]

love when i hit someone 5 times with the m39 ebr and they survive

[chilly dawn]

well if you know how Trials work you know you needed 7 consecutive wins so if you make it super balanced and only give players 1W and 1L every two games no one would get the best loot so I know that you don't know 🤷‍♂️

[tame charm]

i don't even play destiny so idk anything about that, thought u were talking about something else lmao 😂

[chilly dawn]

I knew it 😂

tough to keep up to chat if it's a discussion all over the place - to sum it up: light SBMM is good but should probably only be tough in competitive. let the rest of the pool enjoy more random games without stacking up a bunch of noobs against experienced teams 👍

[vernal hearth]

why does nobody revive?

ive probably been revived 10 times in my bf2042 career

[vernal hearth]

the dm7 is so bad

5 hit kill in cqb with terrible fire rate

[leaden temple]

@vernal hearth do you have excellent internet? I swear desync in modern FPS is worse if you have a good setup, from lag comp helping people on mcd's wifi

[vernal hearth]

yes

how do enemies always 100% of the time know where i am when im not spotted

[dry kindle]

Anyone wanna squad up

[humble parrot]

@blissful rune why did you ragequit just now? can't take a loss i guess

[merry heart]

Guess you're gonna be disappointed then

[merry heart]

PP so your enemies can feel it from 400m away and they'll yell hacks in All Chat

[nimble arch]

As long as it has its battlefield presence

🙏🏼

[tender plank]

Can someone ban this racist guy KneeGrowTronNinator he keeps harrassing us for the last 3 days straight

[merry heart]

@eternal hound

LMAO

[tender plank]

where is the report bot for this discord

[vocal tusk]

#how-to-report-and-appeal

[night raven]

He got a point when he says the game is too easy to kill. It's just the WHOLE FUCKING PLAYERBASE THERE are so damn sweaty that there's fucking fog in their rooms lol

You got ppl flying those damn helicopters around like damn linatics so them TV missiles miss them

Or like jets that shoot insanely accruately from like 290 miles away

[merry heart]

They need AC's in their room

[ancient hemlock]

Sweaty gets thrown around too much these days. People are just better at video games and thats just how they play. lol

[rain violet]

To be fair my PC turns the room to 27C indoors

[merry heart]

In the summer?

[rain violet]

Anytime

[merry heart]

[rain violet]

Place is really well insulated so all the heat stays in

[night raven]

I mean fair. But like half of the things theae players do is some shit the requires literally HOURS of practice n some some shit to pull off. Some of us got jobs n shit and just wanna be a cool future soldier n stuff

[rain violet]

So practice it? People manage lots of things with jobs and hobbies

[night raven]

Bro we ain't got that kinda time these days

Or at least I don't

Or at least I don't

[rain violet]

I have a wife, work full time, hit the gym, play guitar, and still have time.

[burnt halo]

i do, but only because I've become unemployed as of last week

💀

[ancient hemlock]

It's all perspective. Back in the 2000s average players were just worse. Now gamings a common thing and kids grow up playing the comp games. Unlike back then there were just handfuls of us. "Sweaty" is just a new slang for saying good gamers.

[night raven]

Lol

[rain violet]

Promoted to customer

Jokes aside I hope it turns around

[burnt halo]

hoping i get a new job within the month

[ancient hemlock]

I work 220ish hours a month, have a family, and still manage to be a 3-4+ KD player in most games. Muscle memory I have chalked it up to be. lol

[burnt halo]

55hrs/week is too much bro

[ancient hemlock]

Sales life.

[burnt halo]

i did 60hr/w for about 3 months and had to stop because of how terrible it was for my health

[ancient hemlock]

Soemtimes 210, sometimes 240, not including calls/misc I do from home.

[merry heart]

Why not install exhaust vents?

[night raven]

I think it kinda is and isn't. I feel like the spang now kinda means someone who has too much time on their hands. But it could also mean a good player

[rain violet]

I'd gladly pick up another ten hours a week if I wasn't union and the company won't pay out overtime excluding rare circumstances

[rain violet]

I don't own the place, housing market isn't exactly cheap here lol

[burnt halo]

i wish there were unions where i lived, but they're pretty much non existent

[rain violet]

My portable AC does the job at least

[rain violet]

I use union loosely in my case, bunch of nepotism and sellouts.

[merry heart]

That's fair. My house was built in the late '60s early '70s so you know how that goes 😒

[burnt halo]

i have 3 roommates and my rent is still $1,500/month :/

[rain violet]

Canadian detected

[merry heart]

Hey, that's me!

[ancient hemlock]

I pay $2200 a month and we're a single income family with a 5 year old. Lifes fun.

Hence why I work so much.... haha

[burnt halo]

thats not including utilites, food, medical expenses, transportation either

[ancient hemlock]

Yup. Just rent. lol

[merry heart]

I pay $1200 a month but I also pay $4000 a month for my buisness downtown

[burnt halo]

you own a bakery?

[merry heart]

Pizza restaurant

[burnt halo]

close enough

Basically a savory bakery

[vocal tusk]

OOF, my monthly expenses are like 1085 USD (Converted from EUR). That includes mortgage, life and home insurance and power/internet bills.

[merry heart]

Yes

4000 a month for business rent is on the low end here in Toronto

I supplement that cost by partly owning a downtown condo building

So I get 6000 to 7000 in passive income

[ancient hemlock]

Wild.

$2200 is for a 2nd story apartment too. Not even a mortgage.

[vocal tusk]

Apartment is our home also. But its a 4 bed, 3 bathroom (2 ensuites)

[burnt halo]

why so many bathrooms?

[ancient hemlock]

Where I live, an Entry level home is around $450,000. Monthly payment on that is beyond what I can afford.

And thats Entry Level...

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, its similar in many places.

[ancient hemlock]

Better than some places at least.

[vocal tusk]

We paid 265k for our place.

[ancient hemlock]

Still sucks though haha

[burnt halo]

house start at around $300k if you're willing to live in the ghetto where i live

[ancient hemlock]

If you want a double wide trailer in a sketchy park you can get one for around $350k here.

[vocal tusk]

This is where I live. (you can actually see my house in this old picture haha)

[burnt halo]

does it snow there during the winter?

[vocal tusk]

No, its in the Mediterranean (Malta)

[merry heart]

[burnt halo]

how hot does it get during the summer?

[merry heart]

Livin' in the ghettoooo~

[vocal tusk]

low/mid 30s at its hottest.

Celcius

[burnt halo]

does it ever fo over 40?

[vocal tusk]

Na, not since ive lived here. (9 years)

Its highest record temp is 42c IIRC. But that was 20+ years ago

[burnt halo]

it always goes over 40 for 4 months every year where i live

[vocal tusk]

High temps are fine here tho. The houses are built for it, and if we want, its a 5 minute walk to a number of beaches/coves

[burnt halo]

I wish i lived in a walkable city

i hate car dependency

[vocal tusk]

Malta is tiny. You can drive anywhere in the country in 35 mins

All public transport is free too

[burnt halo]

thats awesome, i take public transportation whenever possible, but politicians always trying to defund it

[merry heart]

Me too

[merry heart]

Me too

[vocal tusk]

Im glad I left Ireland. where everything is almost the opposite of here. Expensive, difficult to travel (even if you drive) and the weather is shit

[burnt halo]

always raining in ireland?

[vocal tusk]

Raining, damp, wet and cold most of the time where I lived . (South East Ireland)

Oh dam, this the 2042 chat. I thought we were in general lol

[potent fulcrum]

Ok i just found out about the thick44 tribute fly high recon background, how long has this been in the game

[vital quail]

Probably shortly after he died

[night raven]

Dw. We all died inside at some point

I thoight there was an emo emoji here. Nut insyead imma just use this

[arctic grove]

im gonna fart

[pine roost]

Are you in a place that actually has air conditioning?

[vocal tusk]

Yes, everywhere here has AC. Every room in my home has an AC unit. Tho we mostly dont need them.

[merry heart]

Again with your fart jokes

[arctic grove]

bro i gotta do it

[merry heart]

No

[arctic grove]

yes they gave me no choice

[merry heart]

[pine roost]

Dang

Lucky

Well, it’s natural given those temps

Here we start fainting at 24

[dusk gulch]

Anyone have any recommendations for AR/LMG’s with little (base, ideally) recoil?
I’m on console and continually strugglebus with a bunch of guns

[burnt halo]

M4 and AK5C have very low recoil

avalancy is quite easy to control imo

[dusk gulch]

Tell that to my awesum skillz haha
I like the Avancys, but I feel like I can’t do longer ranges with it

[next onyx]

Crouch fire

Get into the habit of it.

[burnt halo]

only reduces recoil (and spread) by about 5%

[next onyx]

10% actually.

[burnt halo]

i thought it was 10% for prone (without bipod)?

[next onyx]

According to sym.gg it's 15.

[burnt halo]

sym gg stopped update 2042 stuff after season 2, so i don't think its accurate anymore

[next onyx]

Yeah when I opened the site I had it in mind but I do think it's still somewhat relevant.

For the core fundementals.

[proper portal]

AK5C or Avancys

[leaden temple]

except gozo

[dusty wave]

im so pissed off cuz WHY do the robot things always do a takedown like IM BACKED AGAINST A WALL CHILLL OUTT

[leaden temple]

ai is either stoned out the gourd or turbo no chill

some of those ai m5 shots are insane

[dusty wave]

ong tho

[terse peak]

your defiantly not wrong

[bitter skiff]

you're not WONG

[restive fable]

did tarkov wipe?

[vital quail]

[near cloud]

no

[merry heart]

[merry heart]

man the JDAM bomb feels funny to use

[wind ruin]

any gun tier lists updated?

[vital quail]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEaPgDDt5H8
you dont have to watch the video but the description of it has a link to a google doc sheet that has a tierlist made by the creator as well as weapon stats for each gun

[wind ruin]

cool thank you

[vital quail]

easiest way for me to link it since idk if google doc links are blocked lol

[merry heart]

damn

didn't realize how people hate how i play my TOR

[burnt halo]

really liking the vcar dmr

[fresh swallow]

when does the 4 v AI mode leave? i reinstalled this game to play it and its fun af

[vital quail]

15th

or when bp ends

[inland belfry]

so are sniper scope notches are every 400m or is it different per sight zoom and sniper??

[magic storm]

whats up with the game not giving me a different match? it constantly forces me to join an empty lobby

[vital quail]

what region are you in

[long pike]

Connection to EA Online timed out. Your network bandwidth and/or network latency may not meet the requirements for this game

my internet is legendary

i have this problem in ps4 and pc

all bf games

[magic storm]

na west

even if i back out of the lobby and try to find another match, it just puts be back into a lobby or a low count lobby instead of allowing me to join a game midway

[vital quail]

low game population and 3am on a monday morning isn't going to have to the most matches unfortunately

[chilly dawn]

Very true. Hardware also got way better. I remember being one of the first ones to get an optical mouse (the original MS Intelli Explorer) in the 90s. It was so unfair playing against these ball mouse players 😂

[rain violet]

Miss the days when you could disarm your friends by stealing their ball

[naive ember]

[merry heart]

[chilly dawn]

[merry heart]

Quaso

[umbral moon]

Anyone else having issues conecting to EA servers?

[wooden mica]

How'd you play it?

[merry heart]

shhh

[wooden mica]

I certainly hope it's not sitting at spawn and shooting helis

[merry heart]

nope

[wooden mica]

Speak

[dusty sparrow]

Like a true Swede

[topaz coral]

Hit S rank finally gg

[cobalt pond]

There's no way to mute the ping and squad order request sounds without turning off all effects right?

[jade cedar]

anyone else having issues connecting to games of 2042 ALL OUT SUPERIORITY?

[hollow willow]

How to level up the classes easily? Breakthrough bot mode?

[viral jolt]

Just play rush or the map that’s basically like op locker 24/7

[hollow willow]

Rush? Don’t think I have that mode on 2042

[viral jolt]

Gotta go into the portal

They took it off the main menu but it’s in portal

[hollow willow]

Oh

So in other words, bot breakthrough mode kills with a certain class, does not count?

[viral jolt]

I think it’s half xp it will show when you are on the mode

[hollow willow]

Well, I can take that half xp, since it’s better than nothing

and I have lotta patience too

[viral jolt]

That’s good and also try out the war machine domination ltm it’s good once you find a server

[hollow willow]

Aight

[rocky ether]

anyone else suddenly having buggy issues like vic screen loading ingame and that?

and before anyone says its my internet im currently runnign 2 gig up and down no drops

[chilly dawn]

it's your internet connection (too fast for battlefield)

[rocky ether]

probly and wow jsut had a game of a guy rage hacking 320 kills in a normal conquest match acount been active for ages stupid stats looks lik they still dont deal with cheaters 😦

btw this happend in 9 mins of the match

[merry heart]

hmm im kinda liking the apache

dumb firing the primary takes a bit getting used to tho

[rocky ether]

how long untill this dreadfull event is over

[merry heart]

people actually played that event?

[rocky ether]

i did my 30 levlels in 2 days and got bored

my problems is they bring is good gamemodes then remove them its like seriously and they they replace it with utter garbage and you gotta wait months before somthign decent come around again

[merry heart]

i never played the event and i still did my BP

[merry heart]

man i hate it when the entire team is only at one objective whenever that happens

[rocky gust]

I must disagree

It always ends up as a cracked top plays montage, one dude turns around and beams you, or your fingers start to make love to each other and you miss every shot and die to a boris laying prone with a default m5a3 with no attachments playing on a playstation while hes feeding his dogs

For me, the third option is usually my ending

[wooden mica]

Hey

[viral jolt]

Why is it so hard to find a domination match for the event

[wanton shale]

At my wits end with this game. I try SO HARD to love it. Sometimes i have a good sesh but it's always when I don't have much time to play - this happens.

Try conquest 128 - get dumped into a basically empty lobby to sit and wait for 5 minutes. NO...quit.

Try conquest 64 or breakthrough - Load up, i'm in, 12 tickets left. great. Furious. Not only do I not get chance to manually quit as one team is being BATTERED so fast, but I also get stuck into the 1-2 minute long spiel at the end of each game which I really couldn't care less about, before I get to search for a game again. Can't quit. Locked into watching crap about a game I couldn't even play.

Try conquest 64 again - cool, must be a good chance of a quick game now with the previous game finishing. Load in. Oh nice, the enemy has 2 nightbirds battering everything. one going 40-0 by half way through the game. Nearly kill it by myself on multiple occasions but an engineer being an absolute loser is sat in the back ALL GAME repairing it. Get a life. Noone else on my entire team even bothers with wildcat, noone bothering with jets even to ditract anything (Enemy has 2 capable jet pilots too), no helis, let alone stingers. I'm trying to hop between the lot of them to kill their air all game while my team can't even hold onto flags.

It's hard enough to get a game at all on this game with the ridiculous user experience in finding/joining/quitting games - for the love of god why is there still no auto balance in this game. Previous BFs had it and while annoying at times if you got pulled away from your party, at least some balanced games were had.

SIGHHHH I HOPE the new game isn't like this

[vital quail]

anyone got a tldr

[chilly jacinth]

tldr he got shit on

[vital quail]

as usual

[wanton shale]

nightbird OP, server behaviour/UX and general game balance being terrible. and hackers which I didn't mention

nice community (Y)

[vocal tusk]

It's hard enough to get a game at all on this game with the ridiculous user experience in finding/joining/quitting games

My biggest issue with 2042, and the reason I don't really play it much anymore. Hopefully they solve this for next game.

By "solve", I dont mean start matchmaking at the end of one game, putting you into the next. I mean persistent lobbies, looped map rotations, and ideally a server browser with all of the above.

[astral thunder]

how do I buy the accelerated event pass?

it says visit the add-ons in store but its not listed

[vocal tusk]

Has the event not ended by now?

[astral thunder]

no

you can buy the Premium event pass for another 1 hr 30 mins

I will buy the accelerated pass right now if I could but its just now there

[vocal tusk]

Yeah it doesnt appear for me either. Maybe removed as it costs actual money and the event is about to end. no clue TBH

I somehow own the premium event pass, so maybe you cant see it if you already own that?

[pine roost]

The more I play this the more mouse glitches just mess me over

[weak elm]

Can't get over the amount of PC hackers in game, 1 player scores 70+ of total 163 kills in a game. Kills me without even looking in my direction

[chilly dawn]

I totally understand the game searching thing especially if you're on limited time after work etc. that just sucks

[pine roost]

dunno how you find so many, i've not seen a single one since the game came out

[weak elm]

Really? I've reported numerous players and nil response from EA

[chilly dawn]

I only play against cheaters in my lobbies. All using aimbot but they are terrible at it

yes I level against bots

[weak elm]

I get that some will throw the "git good" statement at me but it is disappointing seeing the same players consistently high scoring and they are floating between lvl 40 to 50

[pine roost]

yeah i've not had to report a single one in my entire time playing

and it's not hard to spot those who are blatantly cheating

[chilly dawn]

I only played a couple of mp games and they were fine, but not doubting that any FPS has cheaters on PC these days. It's probably just bad luck if you find them more often than others 😢

[vocal tusk]

Ive seen about 3 that were obviously hacking in all my time.

[chilly dawn]

I don't even understand the reason to hack a game where you can't insta headshot snipe a tank or jet lol

[pine roost]

it's the funniest thing seeing someone hacking who clearly hasn't got a clue how to play

[chilly dawn]

fr, I'd just keep hunting them down with vehicles and make their attempt to cheat an utter failure 😂

[pine roost]

outside of battlefield I remember playing a round of titanfall 2 with a streamer, spotted a clueless aim hacker on the other team, their team did everything in their power to sabotage him and we'd just swing around and kraber him

good times

[chilly dawn]

titanfall had a kraber, too?

btw. thinking of it I never whitnessed an obvious hacker in any battlefield before 😂 and I played since the demo of 1942 lol

not saying some people didn't have wallhacks or something but I never saw someone obviously using aimbot or something like that

[pine roost]

oh yeaahh, my pride and joy that thing was

like a child to me

[chilly dawn]

nice, I only played it a little bit when it came out (the first one)

[merry heart]

I disagree

[inland belfry]

whats this mental barrier stopping me from talking to people

[hushed tartan]

30 minutes left only

Are they gonna release a new bp?

[vocal tusk]

No

Events and event passes are limited time only. Once this ends, there wont be an event pass until they run another event (If they run another)

[hushed tartan]

Damn

[vital quail]

Gotta wait another like 6 months or something

[hushed tartan]

I was expecting another battle pass

I had my coins saved

[chrome hazel]

Yeah we all did

[hazy viper]

Got a confirmation email from EA saying they've banned a few guys I had reported.
Good.
But the guy who goes 130:5 every game and headshots only is still roaming free.

[lavish verge]

That sucks. Ruins the game for everyone

[lavish verge]

What's the headshot guy's username?

[chilly jacinth]

The HC event has some real fun settings

[naive ember]

What did you expect? Look at what they did to this server

[crude trellis]

what did they do to this server?

[vocal tusk]

They removed their image posting permissions as a server booster. Thats legit the only change they made lol

[naive ember]

That's not true at all dude

They made so many changes

[crude trellis]

care to list a few?

[austere plinth]

New to 2042 but not battlefield. Jumped on near the end of the event. Do the devs not release seasonal events similar to other games? Or was it a one and done?

[delicate vector]

Yo! I just reported a guy who somehow switched from an AA Wildcat and respawned into a jet without dying. Not only that, the jet was our jet, not the US jet. Never seen anything like it, he had ultra jet speed and could turn it around instantly in dog fights, the hydra rockets were also locking onto people on the ground, dude was sniping everyone from the sky. Didn't even realise that type of cheat existed. 74-0 within 10 minutes.

[vocal tusk]

2042 Seasonal support ended at season 7. There are no more back to back events, event passes or seasonal battle passes anymore. Events like the one that just ended are added infrequently, with no real cadence or set schedule of release

[austere plinth]

Thanks!

[vocal tusk]

The game is basically at its end of life, quality of life update support stage. Which is fair enough, given its almost 4 years old, and they are working on the next game/entry

[sand flame]

Wait almost 4 years

[vocal tusk]

Yes, 2042 released November 2021

[sand flame]

Damn time fly's

[sand flame]

Is bf6 or what ever is called the first battlefield to have a 4 year development cycle

Depending or GTA 6

[light plaza]

Can anyone tell me where the best place is for clan recruiting for 2042?

[vocal tusk]

Maybe one of the LFG channels here?

#lfg-crossplay #lfg-pc #lfg-xbox #lfg-playstation 👈

(LFG stands for "Looking for a Game", in case you didnt know)

[light plaza]

Thank you!

[merry heart]

I know the truth because I actually caused one of the changes.

[topaz coral]

Yeah I sort of wish I continued playing this game I preordered and i recently just returned and now well idk

It’s bit hard now to start T1’s from scratch due to the games life oh well

Is what it is

Partly my fault for abandoning this for so long

[naive ember]

Members can't use emotes and stickers from different discord servers anymore unless you're a regular if im not mistaken, they made a bunch of new rules and anyone can get warnings easily, nobody can become a regular anymore apparently.

That's just a few

[merry heart]

[vocal tusk]

Damn, they took away stickers and a slight rules change! They ruined the server!!!!!

Cant use emotes from other servers no matter what tho. No role or premium sub grants that ability

[rocky ether]

is it me or did they remove slide?

[pine roost]

slide very much still exists

[chilly jacinth]

It's disabled in the hardcore event mode

[pine roost]

maybe you were in a portal mode that disables it

[rocky ether]

i would nto call it hardcore more semi hardcore real hardcore a dmr would 1 shot

but still that sucks 😦

[mighty holly]

Anyone have any news on when the insta lock on bug will be fixed?

• @wooden mica for he was too afraid to ask here

[wooden mica]

Shut up

[mighty holly]

your welcome

[jaunty vault]

analyzing my ban from Battlefield 2042 15 days ago I can't wait any longer lol 😆

[rocky ether]

i wish i got that bug a few times but never had it lol

[jaunty vault]

bug?

[rocky ether]

aparently if im getting it right theres a insta lock on bug was saying wish i got it but never have lol these air vic players are jsut scum

[merry heart]

why did you get banned

[merry heart]

are you sure it's insta lock on or radar missiles

because radar missiles instantly lock on without yellow warning

[jaunty vault]

I was playing normally with only 35 hours of gameplay and getting some water. When I came back, a notice popped up saying I was banned from bf2042 on all platforms. I was like, what???

[merry heart]

🤨

i asked why and you didn't answer my question

[jaunty vault]

but I explained that I was banned for no reason

[jaunty vault]

When I log into my email the game says I used cheat

[merry heart]

okay

i wont press

[minor widget]

can anyone help me with the Phantom Revenant Player card?

[rocky ether]

i was on about what they saying above i wish i had insta lock lol

[jaunty vault]

I wanted to be thinking, but it really was for no reason

lol

Anyone find ballistic shield users, funny?

[vital quail]

another game of people not knowing the condor controls

and the one time the pilot knew the controls, they flew straight to the enemy spawn and then switched to vtol for some fucking reason

[rain violet]

It is always morally correct to bully dozers

[torpid wadi]

Incredibly based

[merry heart]

in my case its people not knowing the strategy of transport helicopters

they dont know when to leave the fucking scene after taking the first missile hit

[near cloud]

No.

[wild kraken]

Oh you're going to hate me

[arctic grove]

Guys just wanna say that last BF season thing was very awesome I am so happy they added robot skins, and even more happy they gave Lis one.

I have been waiting for robot skins since the i got the damn game a year after it released.

But yea I got all the robot skins like a good little piggie lmfao

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-bender-dance-gif-5319769

Embed fail doesn’t even matter. Title explains it all.

[radiant coral]

Alguien en ps4 ?

[torpid wadi]

Such a rare sight to see such positivity here

[inland belfry]

fair enough... lemme fix that

[wicked dragon]

Good morning guys,anyone had issues with game crashing while loading at match? It just exit me from game,no error nothing. Idk how to fix it. Thanks

[fresh swallow]

NOOOOO AI MODE IS GONE AGGHHH

will there be any more events? will rush override return? i havent played since launch so idk

[vast niche]

Yesterday I was kicked a couple times, I think it was due to being afk for more than 5 minutes though since I was downstairs each time when the game started, it may also be due to there being no more seasons because of the next battlefield coming out this year or next year

[naive ember]

All you have to do is press a button then set the 5 min timer again

[humble parrot]

@storm star found you!

[quiet sonnet]

someone explain to me why breakthrough is unplayable and how its possible for 99% of defending players to be completely worthless

[compact flower]

Hey guys, what's the best high capacity well rounded assault rifle?

[fickle wharf]

m5a3

[compact flower]

How does that compare to ak 5c I was just told that one too

[mild jolt]

hello ! Got a question related to vehicle spawn, draugr/jet in particular, how is possible that sometimes i'm waiting for a plane and someone get when i'm spamming my mouse like an idiot without even seeing the slot being available ? Is it related to latency or something ?

is there an other way to get the vehicle without smashin the click button ?

[naive ember]

Skill issue

[chilly jacinth]

Latency and spamming faster

[mild jolt]

honestly i can hardly spam faster 😂 i did a test i'm at something like 9 click per second. I think it's ping cause the vehicle does not even flink

[vocal tusk]

If they designed the vehicle spawning system correctly, other players would be able to use it faster than a previous user who died and is waiting for the vehicle to become available again

[mild jolt]

in that case i was the one waiting and him dying so i don't know..

but i agree there would be some system implemented to prevent click spamming system, it's just annoying and been there since a long time

[marsh rapids]

can we get a TDM only playlist back please? wha the actual heck are yall doing i dont want to play domination at all like why are yall making us play certain game mode when not all of us are fans.

[warm mirage]

i think like you, these days the number of players on steam has also dropped, i think that event kept the game alive, they all went back to bf1 or 5, now my friends have even stopped playing LOL

then domination is a mode where a lot of toxic players play, at least i could chill with my friends against the bots and level up weapons and operators since in single coop it stops the progress counter after a certain number of kills

[marsh rapids]

i prefer tdm period

i can care less for domination

the mixed playlist would be kool if the still implemented a tdm playlist only too

tdm playlist had no issues filling themselves with players you rarely saw bots only at begin of the match so yea im not playing either till they bring TDM back because thats absolute malarkey😂

[warm mirage]

i understand bro, i too, TDM was more congenial, even the event itself could attract new users, especially after they had discounted the game to 5 dollars on steam, i even managed to convince a few friends to play BF 2042.
now that they have removed all the events linked to the pass and any more chill modes, i think they will lose me too LMFAO

[topaz coral]

I only kept playing to finish tier ones even tho I’ve got 0 specialists

[fading verge]

Running only meta smgs like ac9 is stupid

[topaz coral]

Took 9 straight days but I have finished the Bolte t1

[smoky pine]

Guys, started playing last week…I thought the season pass starts next to the last one, but we dont have nothing…When is the next pass?

[low sigil]

I wish more people used SOFLAM so the staff shells on the tanks could actually be useful

[vocal tusk]

2042 Seasonal support ended at season 7 (Almost a year ago). There are no more back to back events, event passes or seasonal battle passes anymore.

Events like the one that just ended are added infrequently, with no real cadence or set schedule of release.

[smoky pine]

Oh okay, thank you! Sad news 😭

[topaz coral]

Ya bit of a bummer i took a break for too long

I know the games kinda dead when you get almost the same ppl for every game

[gaunt ermine]

I've stopped playing 2042 get put in half games and I swear I'm getting beamed by SMGs across the map aha 🤣 I played it for four years but recently it's not been enjoyable to say the least

[topaz coral]

I preordered and I feel as though I didn’t put enough time in that i should have

I’ll just have to say goodbye to some T1’s that will never be done

[vital quail]

I know its just a hyperbole but I just hate seeing people say they die to any smg/ar from across the map

[naive ember]

I stopped playing cause we never got ninja turtles

[gaunt ermine]

Lmao 🤣

[vital quail]

Unless they are playing tdm and their "across the map" is like 50 meters

[topaz coral]

Even after getting s rank lvling isn’t a pain at all

[glass moat]

Would you guys use tact compensators at all for SMGs?

Tryna make sure im using the right attachments that atent ruining my gun fights

Also im planning on getting another Battlefield game, but I still plan on playing 2042 so any suggestions?

[merry yoke]

Bf4

[glass moat]

I already have that one and i keep getting disconnected unfortunately

I'd play tf out of BF4 if I could. Was my first BF game before moving to PC

[merry yoke]

Then I suggest you wait

[glass moat]

BF5 not worth it?

[rain violet]

I use one only on the PP29 since the ROF is low enough and the recoil is already very easy to control so you can sustain fire at longer distances without too much spread.

Most other SMGs I run are meant for closer distances so the spread reduction is pointless

[glass moat]

I think I use it on PP already for the same reason lol

[merry yoke]

Kinda? But only on sale

[topaz coral]

I do believe I lost my chance of ever getting S4 and above but that’s a lot of playing

[rocky ether]

this hardcore is not hardcore mode seriously its liek they forgot what there hardcore setting was on previous battlefields

[rain violet]

They should just call HC what it really is anyways: boomer mode.

[vital quail]

What setting is missing from it

[modern kraken]

Game isn't dead, stop being typical moany gamers. Steamcharts alone is 5k on currently on a weeknight

Now factor in 4 consoles, and EA

[vital quail]

The game is region locked so it kinda honestly is for a lot of people

Also ps4 and x1 only have crossplay with each other and not pc/ps5/seriesX

[modern kraken]

This is easily solved.

[modern kraken]

Correct sir.

5000 people in of itself is enough to field multiple servers in multiple game modes.

Unless you're looking for validation in how you waste your time with video games, and seeing a few more 0s in the player count makes you feel better, it's a non issue.

[primal gorge]

what gun is best in this game

[vocal tusk]

AK5C, M5A3, or pp29

[primal gorge]

ya seen the ak5c a lot lol, ty

[merry heart]

PP 29 is your only gun that you should worship

Everything else is beyond subpar

The PP 29 has spoken

And now I'm hungry

[primal gorge]

this thing is nasty

[merry heart]

worship it

pray to it

it is the only gun you need

I believe in PP supremacy

To be fair a lot of weapons are still insanely good, PP29 is just the best all around.

[hollow willow]

I’ve got a question. When does a specialist in each unlock?

Just wondering

[hollow willow]

Wish there was a guide/chart for this somewhere

[vital quail]

What do you mean

[chilly dawn]

I can spam 9 keys a second and form words with it or in other words 540 chars/min - you just need to click a single button! 😂

[vital quail]

There is a level indicator on the picture of locked specialists that tell you when it's unlocked

[hollow willow]

Interesting

[rugged citrus]

Lcmg pkpbp pp29 m5a3

[vital quail]

#general message

bottom of the screen by the portraits has the level you need on the locked ones

[rain violet]

Also SVK, AC9, and SFAR though SVK is cheese

[burnt halo]

AC9 >> Vector

[rain violet]

K30 is still insane but AC9 is better at midrange because the horizontal recoil is less aggressive

I'd actually say the bigger issue with the K30 stems from ammo unless you're playing Falck

AC9 I can usually go a good while without having to plus change my mag type, K30 I often have to even do a third switch before I die.

[errant spindle]

Preach brother. I find myself having to reload more often, and hunting for corpses to get 10-20 bullets with the K30.

[rugged citrus]

I don't like how bf2042 treats LMGs like glorified ARs at this point

[zealous loom]

[rugged citrus]

And some of the ARs themselves have nearly 40-50 rounds with certain attachments

[frozen birch]

@wind spire

[rugged citrus]

Like what happened to LMGs from BF1 where they were meant to be laid down for suppressive fire? Now sweats use the dfr strife like an m5a3 on steroids

[rain violet]

Why use suppressive fire when you can just shoot them instead?

[hollow willow]

I’d rather use suppressive shooting.

[rain violet]

Dead targets don't shoot back

[urban wraith]

Hi - new here...

[merry heart]

"futuristic sci-fi shit"

[merry heart]

i prefer the RPT but hey

[merry heart]

more immersive

[rugged citrus]

It's the most accurate lmg right?

[merry heart]

nope

[rugged citrus]

I feel like LMGs are useless beyond close-mid range

Too much recoil and too little damage

Which LMGs are good for longer ranges?

[urban wraith]

M240B....RPT-31

[wild kraken]

Put a bipod on them :3
Problem solved

[merry heart]

put a twinky on them

see how delicious they are

[rugged citrus]

Yeah it feels more like a band-aid than an actual solution, they still do barely any damage lol

Does the ammo type affect damage?

[wild kraken]

Yes

[merry heart]

i swear i think some people genuinely think that the condor and hind can tank 123893742348975389457 rockets

[rugged citrus]

they're still annoying

[merry heart]

bruh every single time someone else takes a condor/hind they try to backcap without no escape plan

[rugged citrus]

Every gunship player i've seen uses them as annoying flying insertion beacons that have miniguns and cannons

[red viper]

people were annoyed at suppression or whatever so they just removed that

[merry heart]

flying insertion beacon

thats the entire point of transport helicopters

[simple lagoon]

What the hell dice/ea if i want to play domination i would play domination the fact i am being force to play a shit game mode to play what I actually want to play is absurd.

[merry heart]

doyce

[rain violet]

Same reason why we're forced to play Haven in CQC conquest playlist, no fucking clue.

[pale estuary]

Any1 down to help me t1 the latv either as the driver or gunner idc I just wanna get it done lol

[vital quail]

[vital quail]

ran out of ammo with my vector and picked up another persons vector and this mf had a 4x scope and bipod equipped

[candid garnet]

could someone tell me more about Hazard Zone tactical upgrades? are they still in game? how to but/edit them?

[burnt halo]

same thing happened to me and some dude was running a scar with 6x scope, 6ku suppressor, and armor piercing ammo, didn't have anything in other slots either

swapped it out as soon as possible

[thick sun]

Are we still getting updates for battlefield 2042

????

[vocal tusk]

Yes. QoL and bug fix updates mostly tho.

where did the battle of the teams go? or is there something I don't understand?

[vocal tusk]

There are probably a million things you could do, but I dont think youll listen lol

[deft tinsel]

the blocked one replied, that's my sign to leave

whatever you said, you are right bro 1000%

my bad

[vocal tusk]

See, exactly. Only here to complain.

Never mind the dozens of AA options (Outside of TGM which you wont use/blocked me for suggesting/talking about).

You have a dedicated AA - Wildcat
AA setup LATV4 with Flak cannon and Thermal smoke
Engineer with Stinger
Engineer with Launcher (M5 or RPG)
Crawford with Launcher and Vulcan cannon
LMG with AP rounds, paired with stinger (Or any of the above)
Getting good in air vehicles yourself (If its so easy to heli farm as you said in the past)

But you wont use any of this, or will call it useless. Cos youre only here for a shoulder to cry on, or for others to agree with you..not actual help

[pine roost]

Only a couple days ago I literally just quick swapped to Crawford and nailed someone with an M5 who was 30-1. Really wasn’t much hassle

[vocal tusk]

That requires practice and skill. So that's not an option. It must be easy and have instant gratification. 😉

[pine roost]

It is crazy just how many engineers there are in a match

Only picked up 2042 again about 2 weeks ago after not playing for about half a year, nearly 30 engineers out of 64!

That’s nuts

But they all seem to take lock ons

[modest dove]

[vital quail]

So many people use boris with a javelin or stinger

It's sad

[rugged citrus]

Well tbf it was the same in BF4 on maps like golmud and rogue transmission

[obsidian lotus]

aura? is the some type of zoomer speak?

[rugged citrus]

Is it the one with 103 players?

[sharp iron]

I believe so

[merry heart]

probably because people on your team are console players

[rugged citrus]

I have 261ms ping lol but ill manage

im in the AA

I cant seem to figure out how to chat outside of the chat box

I suppose I will have to type

[merry heart]

being a transport pilot is pretty chill

until you have 15 lissiles coming your way

[chilly jacinth]

Still pretty chill since most Lis players can barely hit something stationary

[rocky gust]

eh some liz are good

crawford and boris players tho....

yet to come across one that doesn't play like a bot

[pine roost]

decided to swap to rifle aim in helis, feels good but after nearly 10 years with default it feels like learning from scratch :|

[vocal tusk]

Rifle aim?

[mighty holly]

it’s when you aim with a rifle ngl what he means

[pine roost]

heli's

also I'm still getting the mouse flick glitch

but strangely enough when I go into a solo portal lobby it works flawlessly and actually feels good

I guess it's just the 128 servers

[burnt halo]

is BSV-M with CC ammo and short barrel basically an SMG?

[chilly jacinth]

Yes

[burnt halo]

looking at sorrows weapons stat page, and BSV-M with CC SS ammo and short barrel is comparable to the AC9 with standard ammo, same fire rate and 5BtK/6BtK range, but BSV-M has build in suppressor (and aided by subsonic ammo), and its velocity is 90m/s faster

and it has a way better headshot multiplier

[weary ridge]

something about the M1 Garand though

[fickle wharf]

[rugged cave]

best lmg for tap shooting?

[spring ibex]

Why would you use a LMG for that?

LMG's are about volume, suppression fire.

Oh I see the video on FB yeah nice

Im guessing the article had some spelling errors or something lol

Is it just me or is that a little overkill having just the whole building go down like that. Shouldn't it be more chunks of it coming off from a realism perspective and a gameplay perspective

Oh it's back up

Ok actually I guess it was just part of a single wall that came down. I may have overexaggerated a little. That's pretty dope

looks good!

lol the posts are being shuffled about and reposted again

it's a mad dash to get it out quick without mistakes lol

I know how it be sometimes. You double triple check your post then when you post it you realize you fucked something up. The struggle is real

[red viper]

probably just twitter being bad

poor intern

[lilac dust]

hi guys...

[burnt halo]

looking at weapon stats and i think DFR Strife is the only weapon armor piercing ammo might actually be viable

same velocity, fire rate, mag size, and bullets to kill as high power rounds, only difference is that HP has 5BtK up to 150m, while AP is up to 100m, after that both take 6BtK to infinity

[wicked dragon]

Hello guys 😄 How are u today ? Does anyone how to fix this? In middle of loading to match just exit me on desktop without any error or smth. When i Download game on steam,ask me to go through EA app and this happening. Thx

When i wanted to check files on steam said 3 files need to be validate and will ber reacquired

[chrome compass]

I created a breakthrough portal level designed to get the almost impossible borris achievement.
Search ( Borris) or ( Borris 2500 damage while defending achievement) in the bf2042 portal search . BY: PLAYINMACHINE instructions are on the map description 1 or 2 players

[vital quail]

flashpoint and spearhead are long maps and not very wide so you notice it more

does anyone know know to make controller for BF2042 feel as buttery smooth as CoD?

ugh another team that doesn't realize that a transport heli is a mobile spawn point

🤦🏻‍♂️

[sharp iron]

it do be like that

[acoustic seal]

you can't, there are engine-level input problems that aren't getting fixed at this point

[neon hare]

Random question, but is there a way to rip off the 2042's intro from the game files? All the ones I find on YouTube have terrible bitrate.

(nvm found the original intro in amazing quality from lead concept artist's artstation)

[prime hollow]

I think I'm just meant to be playing medic

Like it's just the role I belong in

I'm not good at attacking, tank busting is tougher than it seems, and I'm a mid sniper

But being a medic? I thrive in the passive offense

Reviving everyone I can while killing everyone in my way

[merry heart]

Attacking takes practice.
Tank busting is purely chance and teamwork.
Sniping requires predetermined planning to help teammates.

If the enemy team has good vehicle and infantry cohesion, it's almost impossible to break that.

Also what's with rooftop Koreans parking Wildcats on rooftops

[ionic shuttle]

Battlefield 2042 ☹️😭

[glass imp]

[prime hollow]

And as a medic I just follow around the big group and hand out band aids and aspirin

I consider myself a great medic in the sense that I revive many people. When the team works together, it feels amazing. I had a 128 Conquest match and my whole team was staying together and it turned into a very large breakthrough game

[sharp iron]

orrr you get those games where everyone wants to snipe and we lose all of the obj's

anyone want to play the Afghanistan War Sim server?

im hoping in soon

[glad crystal]

Is 2042 basically dead for anyone else in OCE?

I cannot find any lobbies no matter the playlist

😞

[brittle wind]

Recoil is far worse

AP rounds aren't good at any weapon

[obsidian tide]

Hello once again. I recently found out that Battlefield 2042 has an oddly specific current minimum driver version requirement (AMD-wise). Who would like to hear about this?

[mossy badge]

hey nice profile picture
when i hover it spins

[autumn bolt]

I love sniping. Learned from Grandpa Gamer. And CQC in Redacted. Pick a good spot and drop bodies. I'm a loner that loves helping others. Love BF2042. Don't care about the whiners or cheaters

[vital quail]

[chilly dawn]

has anyone in here played world war z from gamepass? I was just thinking how much fun a wwz bf6 mode would be - like shredding tens of thousands of Zs with a heli 😂

[urban pollen]

They got hardcore now

Imma team kill so many ppl

[rocky ether]

hardcore mdoe sucks on there real hardcore is in portal the conquest hardcore mode is not hard core its semi

[acoustic oar]

Another reason to not touch these game modes, not even with a pincer.

[rocky ether]

i swear im putting more bullets into some one on there hardcore vs real hardcore in portal

[next onyx]

wtf is real hardcore LOL. In typical hardcore it doesn't mean you die in a single shot (most of the item)

[chilly jacinth]

All of the portal ones are 1000% damage

aka you die by a light breeze

[arctic grove]

[chilly dawn]

yeah but you also kill by breathing out 🔥

[red viper]

so realistic...

Skill issue

[marsh rapids]

Come on EA whats the problem why you wont put TDM playlist back on the game!!! Whoever decided too put Domination VS TDM and remove the other original playlist in first place should be fired indefinitely!! Absolutely ridiculous because i mostly play TDM or conquest but TDM is my main so yes im highly upset😂 im dropping this game completely that crap just blows me bro like why? why take off TDM period smh the fact you dont even have the option to choose Domination only or TDM only game modes is also a load of malarkey. whoever is making these playlist isnt thinking about your community at all. 🤦‍♂️

[burnt halo]

besides removing mini map, tac sprint, and slide, what other changes are there in hardcore?

[chilly jacinth]

lower hp

limited classes

[marsh rapids]

wasnt hardcore the first time they ran the playlist and its still not hardcore now

[marsh rapids]

there are too chances where you hit someone and it doesnt give you the kill as intended

[chilly jacinth]

They merged tdm and dom cause of lower player numbers

[marsh rapids]

horrible idea fire the guy who thought that stupid crap up

and i find that very hard too believe TDM never had low player number i never had hard time finding full games on TDM ever since day 1 mayb domination yea i can see that but hell no not TDM.

[burnt halo]

BF1 and BFV have higher populations than 2042 on steam, its not very surprising its hard to find games
I spent about an hour looking for games yesterday but gave up since i couldn't get more than 10 players in a lobby

[marsh rapids]

most TDM lobbies i ran the AI are quickly replaced by players before first few mins of the game. so player numbers were never low as i played TDM religiously ive always had blast play TDM. but even if that was the case your still disregarding other players in the community who only perfer to play TDM or who only want to play domination at least they shouldve still gave us the option to choose bewtten the 2. im not trying to join that playlist and keep leaving when i dont get TDM f=waste of time😂

[marsh rapids]

Im sure they lost alot more players merging those 2 playlists like that instead of keeping them separate being able to choose between both game modes also and not just the 1 thats with them merged because like me and hand full of others not trying to play domination like at fucking all but cant choose what i want to play unless im jumping from lobby to lobby untill i find TDM lobby which is absoluetly BS😂 why am i doing all this extra stuff just to find a TDM lobby. TDm should always have its own dedicated playlist you cant replace TDM with another game mode tbh

[brittle wind]

They merged Dom, Frontlines and Rush in BFV too and it's great

At least domination

One thing 2042 does better than BFV or BF1 is game modes

Rush and frontlines are so much more fun than in V or 1

[marsh rapids]

oki koool merge them but still keep there own dedicated playlist also

[chilly jacinth]

Unfortunately not how it works

[marsh rapids]

the game is already at the end of its lifespan why are we taking away key playlists thats been on the game since before 2042, bv1, nd bf5?

[marsh rapids]

actually it does work that way the devs just decided not to put the effort into it and took off TDM for complete garbage reasons. wouldve been easy as cake for them to keep TDM and domination in theyre own dedicated playlist separate from the merged playlist like theyve been doing with all the other events and new playlist they came out beforehand so players can still choose what game mode/playlist they want to play and not feel like they just got slapped in the face and made to play something else.😂

You've been complaining for hours for no reason

Find something else to do

[merry heart]

[marsh rapids]

oh oki lol keep it moving then nobody told you to stay nd read what i said lol \

[merry heart]

Took 5 minutes to type that okay

[marsh rapids]

im speaking facts bruh idc what yoiu talking bout you gonna ban me for speaking my mind XD

and if you think im complainning about nothing then you dont play battlefield at all dude because everyone knows rush and tdm are the main infantry based playlists on BF but they took those off the game so dont hit me with that im crying bs XD Dice is bleeding us dry and giving us BS playlist nobody likes so yea imm here to complain about it since yall wont tf

[arctic kelp]

Does anyone know how to fly a night bird and teach me

[chilly jacinth]

Rush and TDM haven't been in the spotlight for years

CQ and BT have been the main modes for awhile

[rain violet]

I say this as someone who plays a lot of TDM, the majority of people who play TDM often fall into two major categories: the people who only play TDM to stat farm in a three stack and new accounts trying to unlock stuff

[raven haven]

if anyone is good with portal id appreciate a hand 🙏#portal

[raven haven]

its a shame about rush because it's a really fun mode

pretty much it's breakthrough

[rain violet]

BT and CQ (especially CQC CQ) are the infantry focused bread and butter for the majority of players

Rush is good but it needs intention behind its maps and implementation which is why it hasn't worked well in the last few titles.

[marsh rapids]

lol cq nd bt are not infantry based when you have vehicle you can use also

[raven haven]

I wonder would a capture the flag mode work well on 2042

[chilly jacinth]

Mackay would need to be disabled

[raven haven]

Capture a flag from an enemy base
bring it back
Person with flag can't use vehicles

[chilly jacinth]

Possibly even Sundance

[raven haven]

yeah, or make it so with the flag operator ability can't be used

[rain violet]

The only guy playing Quake CTF

[chilly jacinth]

BT is still very infantry focused

since vehicle spawns are very limited

[marsh rapids]

oki but its not even playable right now only CQ, breakthrough or dominate vs death

[rain violet]

Yeah, it's pretty easy to either avoid the vehicle altogether or just smoke and C5

[marsh rapids]

are only playlist on 2042 rn

they took off CTF, BT, rush, king of the hill and everything else its just those 3 playlist right now XD thats why im heated cuz its like bro who told devs to do that BS. the battlefield i was tryna hop on is not even playable right now tf XD

[timid sparrow]

Whats the best way to not get absolutely fried as infantry on el alamein?

[chilly jacinth]

Leaving

Not even a joke

[timid sparrow]

So there's just not anything i can really do

[chilly jacinth]

Correct it's one of the worst maps ever made

[timid sparrow]

It just feels like a shooting gallery for snipers and vehicles

what about battle of bulge, is there any advice for that map?
this is one of the other maps I struggle to play infantry in

[chilly jacinth]

Loads of smokes

[tender leaf]

Hi everyone I'm new to this server. I really want to play battlefield 2042 but every time I load up into a game. My character can't look left or right or up or down. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[naive ember]

Play on a console

[tender leaf]

Is it pretty bad on PC?

[naive ember]

They have a lot of issues besides skill

[odd marlin]

havent played 2042 in a while but it worked fine for me on pc

[chilly jacinth]

If you have a controller plugged in or anything that emulates a controller plugged in

it can cause that issue

[tender leaf]

I don't have a controller plugged in. I'm trying to think If anything else plugged in would cause the problem?

[chilly jacinth]

Flight sticks, steering wheels

etc

[tender leaf]

Nope got none of those

Might just have to go back to playing battlefield 1 if I can't fix it

[odd marlin]

try unplugging everything except the essentials maybe? its probably something stupid

[tender leaf]

Ok I'll give that a try

I have a USB mic
An Audio amplifier
Keyboard and Mouse
Webcam
A Logitech Light
Headphones

[odd marlin]

theres a few tutorials on youtube claiming to provide a fix for the issue, im not sure if i can send links so just look up "battlefield 2042 cant move camera"

[shrewd tinsel]

Looking for constant squad to play on ps4 add me !

[azure onyx]

Ask Jesus for help he's a real one

[pine roost]

Might have to delete your config, I remember this being an issue some years back so I’m surprised someone’s experienced it since

That was the fix then

[rain violet]

That was my thought as well, probably some old file edit done from a long while back in the profile.

[lilac dust]

And so it begins.... DICE have posted a BF4 clip 😎

BF4 2.0 next year. Let's go

[gilded cairn]

does anyone in here know how to fix when your mouse isnt working ive tried deleting the settings still wont work

is Lis + AP underside launcher + mines the best loadout against vehicles/aircraft on paper?

well, more against vehicles than aircraft

anyone play the afghanistan war sim server?

[tender leaf]

For some reason it's my Razer keyboard that was the problem.

My other keyboard worked fine

[arctic radish]

Lol lets look at some battlefield

Wheres it at

[burnt halo]

should i run AM40 or VHX-D3 for my medic class? wanna run a more CQC oriented AR since I feel like the SMGs kinda suck on any map but redacted

[timid sparrow]

You can make good use of smgs on other maps granted you only really play on the objectives

I often use the AC9 on spearhead and stranded and kinda just tend to stick to being in the ship or being in one of the factort buildings

[vital quail]

pbx or scz can be used if you want a little bit more range

[burnt halo]

the problem i have with smgs is that their TTK is similar to the ARs, but they have much worse damage drop off, velocity, accuracy, and they don't even have that much better handling to make the trade off even worth considering imo

[merry heart]

you dont like the pp29?

[burnt halo]

too inaccurate
