[young jewel]

Spoiler's please

[royal swan]

Jima is a new map

[young jewel]

I wish the Patch Note's were there

[nocturne cairn]

https://discord.com/channels/140933721929940992/258372071086620674

I posted it in screenshots

[high yacht]

@nocturne cairn 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[young jewel]

First time Steam update's without Patch Note's ;-;

[royal swan]

It’s on steam, just restart steam

[hard geyser]

Gun skins look ass, character skins look cool

Never been a fan of red though

[young jewel]

Nevermind the Patch Note's are usually visible on the download of the update but they aren't for this one I had to phisically go to the game's "PLAY" menu to see "Regular Update"

[craggy vigil]

Chat are we in another timeline? Wth is that? A giant update!? For 2042!? New vehicles, weapons and maps!?
Someone pinch me I must be dreaming

[drifting wraith]

9.2 patch note makes me jiggle my balls

[young jewel]

9.2 or 9.2.0?

[royal swan]

No I wouldn’t say new vehicles, they were stuck in portal collecting dust

The weapons tho I believe those are brand new

[drifting wraith]

both

[royal swan]

I don’t remember seeing them in portal

[craggy vigil]

Aaah kk so portal to main game vehicles, thought it was just portal getting new vehicles

[royal swan]

Portal has a shit ton of content unused in AOW they are just being vaulted over

[proud sparrow]

Did they push the update already?

[royal swan]

Previous it was the bmp and Bradley

[wheat shadow]

I'm looking at it too. I think we're both half right. It shows the style of each unlock, but it only shows one of the skins included in each 😄

the boris player card background may be my new main, and I will continue to be Team Release The Santa Skin

[royal swan]

Best map in the game?

[craggy vigil]

Cool, I don't mind that, gives me new stuff to grind in the main game now

[nocturne cairn]

Iwo Jima 2042 has a bunch of Pax lore from bf6

[unreal venture]

How tf do you unlock the frogfoot and A10?

[craggy vigil]

Best map if they managed to make it well in 2042, remember destruction is still mid in 2042 portal maps

[unreal venture]

I can't see any unlock conditions. they're just greyed out.

[nocturne cairn]

There should be instructions for how to unlock everything with the items in colleciton

[karmic monolith]

What are the bf6 rewards in the new 2042 battlepas?

[royal swan]

More like non existent, only in a few maps does it have some destruction

[nocturne cairn]

look in screenshots, I posted them

[unreal venture]

Yep, not for these two unfortunately.

[pure crescent]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1mtkwik/battlefield_6_skin_rewards_in_the_new_2042_update/

[craggy vigil]

Yeah the portal maps, so hopefully they did ok with Iwo Jima

[royal swan]

There wasn’t much to destroy on iwo in bfv wonder what they did

[agile pivot]

Dead chat

[nocturne cairn]

its a rebuilt and redecorated map now

[wheat shadow]

man, Reddit is going to hate these skins. Prepare yourselves for much salt

[serene iris]

hope u enjoy it!

[nocturne cairn]

modern with a geothermal extraction plant. Think pipes and mgs oil rig vibes

volcano base

[wheat shadow]

I will enjoy both games, all the skins, and their tears 😉

[craggy vigil]

Why not ig

As long as the cave system is intact I'm gonna have fun in it in portal

[obsidian tide]

See gameplay footage of it dating to 2024 and newer.

[nocturne cairn]

yeah, its still fundamentally the same map.

[blissful jewel]

I can't see the rewards in the battlepass, any of you guys got this aswell?

[sick eagle]

im confused

i played the beta but didnt get the lynx

[serene iris]

Wdym

[sick eagle]

the new sniper

[serene iris]

Double check

[sick eagle]

i reloaded

didnt get it

[cerulean forge]

play a match

[nocturne cairn]

look again my man. even pass 42 for the frogfoot and 32 for the AC10

[serene pawn]

the amount of BF6 unlocks they advertised for this free battle pass is super confusing. the english blog says 30, the brazilian blog says 24 and I counted 28 in-game, lol

[viral plaza]

i was wondering if i unlock the reward on pc will i get it on my ps5 version of bf6 wasnt planning getting bf6 on pc

[unreal venture]

Weird, i see no unlock conditions when i check it out. Dunno. Appreicate the confirmation of the unlock conditions tho.

[serene pawn]

you do, the unlock is for you EA account

[nocturne cairn]

I think its based on your EA account

[silver night]

Can't believe anyone is still buying BF6 lol

[peak acorn]

Iwo Jima is out now or later?

[wheat shadow]

now

[blissful jewel]

Accuracy is not it on the lynx

[peak acorn]

Oh god

[viral plaza]

oh nice i really dont want to start 2042 on ps5 since i tend to plat game and it would be a pain to go through 2042

[nocturne cairn]

BLOWOUT SOON FELLOW STALKER?

[minor spade]

Please Dice could you add a performance mode for consoles 🙏🙏🙏. 120hz mode with VRR. It won't hit a steady 120 but it doesn't need to!

[stiff dew]

Lynx not unlocked despite 30hrs in the open beta

pain

[paper delta]

how dare they drop iwo jima

on 2042

[serene pawn]

there is cross-save, you will unlock most of the trophies related to progression automatically and only those trophies that required specific actions you will have to do again, you can create a private portal server with bots for these. the only trophy that will be a pain to do is the hazard zone one because not many people are playing it anymore

[hollow fractal]

Mouse randomly decided to stop working again on this game, any help?>

[viral plaza]

thats what i worried the most is hazzard one lol its been too long since i played 2042 dont know the player count on that if it still doable or not

[mossy vortex]

battlefield devs catching random Ws damn

[wheat shadow]

why? 🙂

[minor spade]

Actually pretty smart of them to make a 2042 update. You just know how many YT videos would have been coming out after the bf6 beta complaining about 2042. Now instead it'll be videos about the update!

[blissful jewel]

Unlocked the lynx and was only in the menu of bf6 lol, didn't even play

The weapon is def not worth it though, kinda sucks

[serene pawn]

they found a way to keep the hype alive until BF6 launch and also made some people buy BF 2042 for the free unlocks, genius move

[frosty burrow]

funny is that the update boosted 2024 player count by 5k in the last hour 😄

[arctic grove]

DID THEY REALLY ADD A FREE BATTLE PASS TO 2042 FOR REWARDS IN BF6 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[nocturne cairn]

new maps and guns too

its 4d chess now

[arctic grove]

bruh

can you do the challenges in vs bots ?

cause I aint playing this crap all day just for rewards

[gray prairie]

What's the rewards?

[nocturne cairn]

look in screenshots i posted them

[arctic grove]

stuff for bf6 and "nostalgia" rewards for 2042

like bf5 and bf1 skins

they added an a10 warthog to the main 2042 mode

[brazen root]

The lynx doesn’t unlock for me

[arctic grove]

it's just crap to get people to play but honestly that will work on me only if I can do it in bots

cause 2042 is just hell

I'd rather be playing bf1 right now but I want to free stuff for bf6

[plucky estuary]

same here...

[serene pawn]

it's actually not, you are just cought into the mob mentality about it being bad

[nocturne cairn]

Why would you do somthing so monotonous? Why not just actually play the game with people and have... fun?

[arctic grove]

No I actually think the game's terrible

[tiny gazelle]

Play 2042, stop complain, be just happy about a new update.

[arctic grove]

Idc what "the mob" thinks, rn the mob is saying bf6 is trash and I don't think that

[nocturne cairn]

you sound like a lunatic

what mob

lol

[arctic grove]

THIS GUY brought the mob up wtf do you mean

[frosty burrow]

guys, mob means the general vocal majority of players - see steam reviews, reddit, etc

[arctic grove]

I didn't bring "the mob" into the convo

[honest cradle]

I dont get it. Can I complete all rewards from the free pass by playing 2042, or do I have to play all the different games in the order they're listed?

[arctic grove]

this other guy did

[olive holly]

2042 is cool now

[chrome solar]

How about we just play the games we like and not care about anyone elses opinion?

[wheat shadow]

I'm guessing you're not going to get a ton of sympathy for your position if you come to the channel for 2042 and moan about having to play 2042 to get some free skins for BF6 😉

[nocturne cairn]

good luck with the bots then

[frosty burrow]

i think our friend was advocating for ppl to try the game and see for themselves if the game is bad or not for them

[serene pawn]

only play BF2042

[frosty burrow]

is 2042 bot games though?
with the low player count does the matchmaking work well?
Finding players to fill the games?

last hours of bf6 beta was mostly AIs

[hollow fractal]

Mouse randomly decided to stop working again on this game, any help?

[nocturne cairn]

the game matchmakes faster than most games on the market

[arctic grove]

I don't really care y'all play whatever you want, if me saying 2042 is trash and it affects your view on it then it's not my problem, who cares, I don't hate 2042 players just the game

[wheat shadow]

depends on your region. EU was easy to find Conquest lobbies prior to the BF6 beta, I assume the same will be true until October

[nocturne cairn]

some niche game modes are a little slower

[arctic grove]

the pass has extremely good looking rewards for bf6 so I'm gonna defo finish it

[frosty burrow]

my 5 matches last night with AI players dissagress with your statement - conquest game mode btw

[wheat shadow]

I think you missed my point, but I hope you enjoy the BF6 skins.

[honest cradle]

why are you even in a 2042 chat just to complain about the game? weird

[mint bobcat]

How does one obtain the Lynx?

[tiny gazelle]

BF6 skin in the 2042 Pass are so incredible with a remake of the CHINA ENGINEER and a No-Pats Soldier. It's cool

[sinful scaffold]

the patch notes and in-game text say that the Lynx will be unlocked for you if you played the BF6 beta, but I played it both weekends and it's not unlocked for me :/

[frosty burrow]

weird then. 80% of the lobby had AI in the name, with like top 10 players being actual players with non AI names

[terse jay]

hello folks

[keen eagle]

Are helis on Iwo Jima?

[tiny gazelle]

Yes

[sinful scaffold]

does anyone have the Lynx unlocked?

[nocturne cairn]

full vehicles

[pseudo sonnet]

Uhhhh, i have a question... I played bf6 beta, but uninstalled it before said beta ended, am i getting lynx amr...?

[nocturne cairn]

I have it

[sinful cave]

you played the training modes lol

[terse jay]

anybody can tell me about the size of the latest update please ?

[nocturne cairn]

Using the lynx now

[tiny gazelle]

D-DAY VIBE

[tidal venture]

for the BF6 skin in the 2042 Pass. Can I unlock them for bf6 if its on my steam account, even though bf2042 is on my ea account?

[mint bobcat]

Gotcha, I played around 70 hrs through both weekends and I dont see it

[frosty burrow]

no way man, there were other players in there!
can you even play training modes in pvp?

[sinful scaffold]

wtf, why don't I then :/

[nocturne cairn]

no clue my dude

[tiny gazelle]

Make sure you EA Acount to link with your steam account.

[terse jay]

#game-news message anybody know the size of this update ?

[tidal venture]

it is so im good?

[nocturne cairn]

im all EA

I buy my BF games direct

[livid oasis]

You can get BF6 skins by playing 2042 right meow?

[tiny gazelle]

Well, yeah I'm think you good mate 👍

[wispy nexus]

7.4gb

[nocturne cairn]

yeah

[terse jay]

thanks where I can find this information pls ?

[frosty burrow]

didn't think to get a screenshot no. but i can definitely tell you we played 3 or 4 conquests maps, with some AI players, and kinda 6-10 real players in each team.
irelevant now, just weird.

I chucked it up to beta ending and ppl queueing for rush/breakthrough instead of Conquest

[wispy nexus]

It's the download size on steam...

[tidal venture]

ok I just didnt want to grind and then my skins dont get carried over

[terse jay]

got it

[wispy nexus]

Bots were active in the training modes during both betas. You had like 2 squads of players per team and the rest were bots

[tiny gazelle]

Understandable. Don't worry I thinks you got this

[frosty burrow]

yeah, it's likely we queued for training mode by mistake

they were hidden by the great UI 😂

[wispy nexus]

Gotta say, watching the friendly bots shoot at a friendly motion sensor was great

[sinful scaffold]

my EA account is linked to my Steam already (shows so in the website, just checked) and I didn't get the Lynx

[sleek gulch]

Guess I'll reinstall 2042

[main urchin]

just lauched this game for 1st time any tips?

[plucky estuary]

i played the beta both on steam and ea app and didnt get the lynx

[arctic grove]

for the rewards ? We getting chinese squad skins 🥺

[wild stag]

Uninstall 😂😂 only joking

[frosty burrow]

ah makes sense! I haven't queued myself for training mode cause i'm here to fight humans 😂

[glass dagger]

me too, i even played the beta in days 7 and 8 and this gun isn't unlocked for me

[main urchin]

yeah im only playing because of the bf6 rewards

[frosty burrow]

have fun? 😁

[sleek gulch]

Mainly just to hold me over till October lol

[sick eagle]

when are they gonna fix that weird camera bug that happens when you use a vehicle after you use the draugr

[main urchin]

my game just crashed great start

[wild stag]

Bf6 rewards? I saw a post earlier saying Iwo Jima has been added to 2042 so was gunna redownload for that and after 30hrs of bf6 over the past weekends, now have the bf bug again😂

[tiny gazelle]

There are some problem with the Lynx, many players don't have it yet. I thinks it's normal or not.

Some people say you needed to play 30 hours of the BF6 BETA but maybe about your country your in, the server you play, there are some time before you get it.

[honest cradle]

my game is running perfectly fine 🤷‍♂️

[vivid mason]

Should I try 2042 again

[nocturne cairn]

yeh, lots of content

[native spire]

Link to the bf6 rewards?

[nocturne cairn]

look in screenshots or earlier in this chat

[lapis brook]

bf2042 servers down? Cant join anything

[fluid cliff]

They say "Play battlefield 2042 to unlock exclusive Battlefield 6 rewards" but nowhere I see what those rewards are. Does anyone has the link where it shows the actual rewards?
Are those rewards only on BF2042 or it will be on BF6 when launch?

[plucky estuary]

i have 70 hours logged in the beta and no lynx

[olive holly]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43Sx3YrvZzQ some angry templar doing some crusade on the bf6 beta

[remote kiln]

yes

[tiny gazelle]

Woah ok, It's maybe a server bug..

[real ether]

i forgot how to get wingman ribbons

[astral radish]

@wild stag what bug?

[wild stag]

The bug to play bf again😂 not a bug with the game😂😂

[pure crescent]

30 exclusive rewards for Battlefield 6 spread across 6 Tiers that will be available at launch. Earn these exclusive Battlefield 6 rewards at Tier 8, 19, 30, 40, 49, and 60 of the Free Battlepass! Source: https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-2042-update-notes-9-2-0

[lapis brook]

Error: Matchmaking failed even on solo/co-op against AI lmao

[tropic cliff]

Did they also update the Codex?

[willow sky]

i NEED battlefield 6....

[fluid cliff]

nice. But they will not show the rewards apparently. You have to start the game and look at it yourself. Yeah I will pass on that

[pure crescent]

Here are some screenshots: https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1mtkwik/battlefield_6_skin_rewards_in_the_new_2042_update/ and someone posted in #screenshots-and-clips as well I believe

[arctic grove]

bruh i didn't get the lynx even though i played the beta...

[agile pivot]

Anyone has played

[idle lion]

congrats on adding Hourglass 2.0(Iwo Jima) guys!

literally unwinnable as defender

[placid fractal]

Hm. Nothing crazy. I hardly pull my pistol out, so I won’t really see those skins. I don’t drive tanks, so I won’t see those. I doubt I make it to the level 49 in time, but I’ll try

[sick aurora]

anybody got pics of all the battle pass unlocks? I don't have the game installed rn

[fluid cliff]

The gas mask cosmetic does look sick, but in this game battlepass works through challenges right? like "get 15 kills using a grenade while jumping from a car right after crashing into a tank" kind of challenge

[hollow fractal]

Mouse randomly decided to stop working again on this game, any help?

[fluid cliff]

or I can just ignore tha battle pass and expect that in a week I will be able to get the reward

[pure crescent]

No idea sorry, I'm a 2042 noob, never played it and bought it during a sale. Installing as we speak 😄

[lapis brook]

bruh... why cant I join any game??

[fluid cliff]

If is by challenges I will be able to do it, I could not do on War thunder I will not do it in this game too

I hate a game that tell me how to play the damn game

[serene kiln]

I can’t believe BF6 just ended…

[fluid cliff]

I want to join in, do my thing without being pressured and get the rewards

[grizzled patio]

bf2042 update :OOO

[pure crescent]

Yeah, I get that. According to a friend, you just play the game.

[nova crane]

How long will it be active for?

[fluid cliff]

I will play during the weekend and see how far I go into this pass

[pure crescent]

The Road to Battlefield Battlepass will run from August 18 to October 7

[arctic grove]

guys, did they not give the lynx to players yet or did they bug me out ? I didn't receive it yet i played the beta 😭😭😭😭

[pure crescent]

Gl 🙂

[lilac dust]

Was 2am when you said that so today indeed for me

[astral radish]

@arctic grove just unlock it with pass if u didnt got it

[lilac dust]

Iwo jima hype!! Good way to hold us over before BF6

[next spear]

Wait are all the new battle pass rewards going to be in BF6 or is it just like a select few of them

[nova crane]

Ty! Excited to actually dig in to a battlefield game for the first time (after having played the bf6 beta, and bf4, bf5, and bf1 in spurts for the first time recently)

[lilac dust]

So if iwo jima is leaving after October 7th and it's not just the event stuff leaving then they must be bringing iwo jima in some form to BF6 surely?

[pure crescent]

Same, bought it during a sale but never arsed activating the secure boot but now that I did for BF6 ... installing 2042 as we speak

[sick aurora]

https://youtu.be/Z3xkpRqowBg

[drowsy rose]

Hilarious - one the BF6 skins, Commander literally has my idea of selling BF2,3,4,Bad Comapny, 2142 and 2042's soldiers as skins to use

[odd plank]

I’m not home rn.. is the bp fully free or are some rewards locked

[lilac dust]

Half way on my 2042 install. How big is iwo jima map? Never tried it in BFV

[arctic grove]

I don't see it in the pass 🙁

[pure crescent]

Free as free can be, 'Free Battlepass - 60 Tiers of free cosmetics'

[atomic temple]

This map looks like one big rock. Quickly made.

[odd plank]

Oh alright that’s nice thanks

[lilac dust]

Do any of the rewards carry over to BF6 launch?

[nova crane]

I don’t typically like battlepasses, but I took the time to complete all the beta challenges, so I might as well get more content for a game I haven’t pre-ordered or am even sure if I’m buying lol

If anyone wants to add me, my EA username is Dj64Mk79514

[wheat shadow]

several do, some gun/vehicle/soldier cosmetics

[pure crescent]

Yep, 30 exclusive rewards for Battlefield 6 spread across 6 Tiers that will be available at launch. Earn these exclusive Battlefield 6 rewards at Tier 8, 19, 30, 40, 49, and 60 of the Free Battlepass!

[nova crane]

No paid tier whatsoever?! THANK HEAVENS!

[lilac dust]

Oh hell yeah! Thanks guys

[violet otter]

This free pass is pretty cool

[pure crescent]

100% free according to the EA website

[radiant talon]

Anyone know why it didn’t give me the Lynx although I played the BF6 beta????

[pure crescent]

imma add you if you don't mind

[lilac dust]

Nice grind before BF6 😎 October 10th will be here in no time

[nova crane]

That’s why it’s there! ❤️

[lilac dust]

Oh reactions still work in 2042 chat nice

[keen furnace]

Hey, i have more hours in the bf6 beta than in 2042. I dont like the game but i kinda wanna play because of the cosmetics. What is an actual good weapon on this game? I only played with the AK and the RPT-31

[nova crane]

This’ll definitely be a fun month and a half!

[unborn delta]

Iwo Jima, eh?

[lilac dust]

I have 2K hours in 2042 and honestly I can't remember what the meta ended up as when I stopped playing several months ago lmao

[keen furnace]

@lilac dust there are just so much guns

[wheat shadow]

they've fixed a lot of the balancing, there aren't really stand-out meta weapons anymore

[nova crane]

I used this guide as a starting point: https://gamerant.com/battlefield-2042-best-entry-level-weapon-loadouts/

Not sure that helps y’all though or not

[lilac dust]

Oh AM 40 just popped into my head. That gun shreds

[dusty sparrow]

Screw guides just start with whatever you want

[winter perch]

Have the weapons become more stable???

[nova crane]

I’m excited for the lynx though; the description sounds like my perfect kind of weapon (as I play the engineer class mostly)

[lone void]

chat, W update?

[stiff dew]

played 2 games no lynx

[nova crane]

There’s so much content though, and I don’t even know the half of it, so I couldn’t tell any of the differences

To me, they’re all just…guns lol

[winter perch]

Have the weapons become more stable???

[lilac dust]

RM68 too. That was a huge meta back in the day. Probably still great @keen furnace

The first shotgun is great too if you like shotties

[keen furnace]

Thanks, i try them out

[devout forge]

damn they really sat on an incredibly thicc update for the last 2 months of the games life? XD

[stiff dew]

I have both the beta and 2042 via steam, EA account connected

No lynx

[lilac dust]

Wait do you need to connect accounts and stuff to get the new weapon(s)?

[wild agate]

Do I get back in a match faster or slower if I press "Continue" at the end of match screen?

[jolly fossil]

only way to force people to play 2042 😛

[nova crane]

Reminds me of how new content for Splatoon 3 ended last September, then out of nowhere in June this year the game got a massive update with 20+ new weapon kits and a host of new features!

[mighty spruce]

Can you level up the battlepass by playing Portal in 2042?

[lilac dust]

Yeah if memory serves me right. Just click everything to get you back to menu and load up a new game instead of letting it automatically do it all. That should be quicker

[devout forge]

ngl I've been playing 2042 quite a bit the last few months. But this kinda attention and care, I'm just surprised it's this late haha.

[wild agate]

Thanks!

[jolly fossil]

its maps are way better than what we got in bf6

[dusk garden]

:squid_game_2_cheer:

[nova crane]

If you’re on a specific server do things stay together from match to match?

[stiff hornet]

Seems like battlefield is healing

[devout forge]

I dunno about better maps lmao

[lilac dust]

I don't believe 2042 had persistent servers unfortunately

[devout forge]

the nostalgia-ing is happening early

[nova crane]

At least we know where all the medics were this weekend 😂

[lone void]

Dice have a recent track record of loving their games to death in the waning months lol. They've done it to Battlefront, BFV and now 2042

[lilac dust]

You might be able to solve that problem by finding a match in the portal browser @nova crane

[wheat shadow]

love 2042 to death some more, with the boris santa skin pls dice!

[lone void]

I lol'd at the player card in the battle pass

[astral radish]

Is Iwo Jima playable in conquest?

[nova crane]

It’d be cool if those of us here just had one big melting pot!

[wheat shadow]

big same. i want that skin eventually!

I can't 100% the game without it

[lone void]

there is a CQ and BT 24/7 playlist up rn for Iwo Jima

[pine roost]

Iwo jima’s a surprise, wonder how it’ll look

[lone void]

jumping into CQ now I'll let you know

[lilac dust]

I'm not sure how it would work now but to create your own server in 2042 you previously had to own the most recent battlepass. Not sure how that would work now that this one is free

I doubt they'd let everyone own a server without paying anything but who knows

[deft trench]

Im confused, I thought content updates for 2042 were done years ago.

[pure crescent]

Surprise?

[nova crane]

I have an appointment now, but maybe later or sometime tomorrow you could help me build classes? (and actually understand what I’m doing lol)

[astral radish]

Wish i was at home updating game and playing it

[lilac dust]

If im around yeah sure

[nova crane]

Couldn’t one person create it and the rest just join?

[tropic cliff]

Playlist for Iwo Jima Conquest says 64 v 64 but it put me in 32 v 32

[nova crane]

Could I just dm you later then?

[lone void]

this map is kinda weird

[arctic grove]

battle pass is so bad

[lilac dust]

Yeah would be cool if someone in here created one for us all. Any takers in this chat? Guys? 👀

[lone void]

very quiet

[lilac dust]

Sure

[astral radish]

@tropic cliff its for 64 players total, 32v32

[lethal forge]

2042 got a new battle pass?

[violet otter]

Yeah seems to be 32 v 32 but ui is not correct

[shut sparrow]

I uninstalled 2042 thinking I could go without it until BF6 but I guess it’s time to reinstall 😂

[pure crescent]

Yeah but free

[tropic cliff]

The deployments are about the same size as the actual playing area

[lilac dust]

Would be fun to get one last hoorah with 128 players on iwo jima since we'll probably never see 128 players again

[serene pawn]

anyone could create their own server but they would not persist if you were offline unless you had a premium battlepass, now I think that if you ever had a premium battlepass before you can own persistent servers

[lilac dust]

Oh sick!

[lilac dust]

Most of us thought and did the same lol

[tropic cliff]

I was hoping for a 128p layout i cri

[lilac dust]

Well it's a returning map from BFV

I guess they could've stretched it out a bit but too much work lol

[tropic cliff]

I'll def try out Breakthrough

[sinful scaffold]

seems I'm not the only one that the Lynx isn't unlocking correctly for

https://forums.ea.com/discussions/battlefield-2042-technical-issues-en/lynx-not-unlocking-after-played-bf6-beta/12484297

[devout forge]

glad 2042 is finally at a good point of receiving love and solid additions. Wish it didn't have to spend the first 2-3 years of its life fixing itself up to "Release-state"

[serene pawn]

2042 was already pretty fine when season 1 dropped

played since release and was never bothered by the "issues" the community thought it had

[violet otter]

I played 1 match and then it unlocked for me

[sinful scaffold]

oh, huh

[stiff dew]

3 matches in and no lynx now lol

[sinful scaffold]

maybe I'll try that

[lilac dust]

Wtf lol these battle rewards are nutty! And it's free lol

[regal holly]

Any1 else not able to get into bf itself on xbox

Nvm

[tepid dove]

Yeah the Lynx's scope definitely feels off at long range

[tepid dove]

I just checked my locker and it was already unlocked so I played with it straight away. "Unlocked" it at the end of the game

[stiff dew]

Pain

[sinful scaffold]

your "locker"?

[regal holly]

Wait. 60 rewards for free??

[spiral raptor]

Same here on Xbox

[gilded abyss]

What you think about the LINX sniper
I love it

[stiff dew]

All accounts linked

[tepid dove]

Classes page, whatever. I knew what I meant

[sinful scaffold]

you're good, I was just trying to clarify

[tepid dove]

It's alright up close but it feels odd at range

[lone void]

I miss BF6 already this game feels wrong

[karmic oasis]

Iwo Jima?!

[shrewd ivy]

What is the BP looking like? I’m tempted to redownload 2042

[regal holly]

Itdamazing

Also we got free bundelds

[gilded abyss]

Same. October

[lone void]

it's all free, it's a celebration of BF1, V, 3, 4, and BC2

[regal holly]

God. Mackay new skin id so amazing

[pure crescent]

Have a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_NQI0c0oMA

[lone void]

the Pax bundle is awesome too

[devout forge]

so does the volcano erupt in the new map..?

[shrewd ivy]

Oh thank you

[regal holly]

Wait. Is iwo jima not staying?

[nova crane]

Wow EA as the underdog really goes all out!

[serene pawn]

it is

[karmic oasis]

this is such a surprise update lol

[wild cave]

Once you reach the first BF6 tier reward are you able to see the other rewards that don’t have images for BF6 ?

[nova crane]

Or is it mostly Battlefield Studios as a separate entity?

[serene pawn]

the map I knew it was coming but the free battlepass was a nice surprise

[karmic oasis]

I have to reinstall the game now lol

[wild cave]

Arguably to give EA abit of credit , I feel like battlefield studios and EA go hand in hand

[karmic oasis]

but its gonna feel wrong after bf6 beta

[wild cave]

What’s going to feel wrong

[lethal forge]

is it just me or bf2042 heli is much harder to control than bf6

[karmic oasis]

the gameplay feel

[wild cave]

Yeah

[sand flame]

Damn FREE STUFF OKAY BETTTTTT

[nova crane]

I see, I had seen someone say that Dice and such were sort of independent though?

[wild cave]

I guess they just wanna keep the player base in the battlefield ecosystem until Bf6 comes along
As I’m sure people will buy packs etc

[serene pawn]

it's like they are two different games /s

[lime delta]

i still didnt get lynx all trough i played bf6 beta

im confused

[stiff dew]

you, me, and many others

[devout forge]

not going to have to worry about all the land-people complaining about us sky-people (rooftop dwellers) anymore.

[lime delta]

were you on steam?

[stiff dew]

I have both games on steam, accounts linked to EA

[lime delta]

same

[nova crane]

I’d like to think a lot of us were voluntarily going to stay, and this is just a nice free gift for our support

[pseudo sonnet]

i had bf6 on ea and 2042 on steam. Got nothing

[devout forge]

have you tried jiggling the handle?

[pure crescent]

Didn't they do Road to Battlefield in the past as well?

[karmic oasis]

so wait a min

[wild cave]

How quick can you level up the battle pass ?

[karmic oasis]

the new cosmetics that you unlock in bf 2042, will transfer to bf6?

[vestal pelican]

nobody playing 2042? joined conquest 10 mins ago and we're only 3 ppl in lobby

[lone void]

it's missions, like normal

[coarse elbow]

Fucking DICE man they say they're done with 2042 but they keep making content

Based

[wild cave]

Can you catch me up I haven’t played 42 in a long time

[pure crescent]

Some yeah

[summer tree]

Lynx not unlocked though i played veta

[lone void]

do missions, missions earn points, 10 points is 1 tier

[coarse elbow]

Woah what

[wild cave]

Is it quicker than cods ? (CoDs is slow asf)

[lone void]

gaining XP will always earn you points

yeah easier than CoD

[wild cave]

Gotcha Ty ima grind it then for the bf6 rewards

[pure crescent]

30 exclusive rewards for Battlefield 6 spread across 6 Tiers that will be available at launch. Earn these exclusive Battlefield 6 rewards at Tier 8, 19, 30, 40, 49, and 60 of the Free Battlepass!

[lapis brook]

still cant join a single game... gg dice

[coarse elbow]

2042 battlepass is actually super nice and not grindy hopeful they do the same for bf6

[valid venture]

I’m sooo happy Iwo Jima is back

[lone void]

actual peak

including BF6 rewards is soooo nice

[lime delta]

i wish we got wake island too back

[cosmic ridge]

mfs really updated 2042 right before bf6 comes out

[vocal sand]

Hey im trying to level the russian vehicles in bf2042 in solo breakthrough matches, but even on the maps that are supposed to spawn you on russian attacking side, its always changes the attacking side to USA

[arctic grove]

wtf counts as a multi kill exactly, i keep getting doubles and triples but it doesn't count (in pvp not vs bots just to be clear)

[vocal sand]

Is this a bug or what?

[pure crescent]

They know what they're doing, feeding that FOMO haha

[wild cave]

Fr!

[nova crane]

Under promise, over deliver

[lone void]

I might actually miss this game is that sad

[lime delta]

they should make bf6 an ultimate battlefield and put all maps from all games into it

[arctic grove]

multi kills not counting for anyone else ?

[neat barn]

Anyone else have consistent issues with your player/other players turning invisible? Like all that and every vehicle in a match too

[cosmic lotus]

battlefield friend background card for ur profile in 2042 is a nice touch but a bit too late. when most vet are fed up or too old or deadge.

[wheat shadow]

I bet a lot of maps will appear in Portal at the very least. 2042 has several they can bring over pretty easily.

[remote kiln]

there is a cap per day, just beware, it's quite high though

[nova crane]

Have a nice day y’all, I gtg for now, see ya later!

[nova crane]

A cap on what?

[remote kiln]

amount of xp you can earn per day for the battle pass

[arctic grove]

this pass isn't easier than cod, cod you just need to play the game, this one isn't even counting half the time properly

[lone void]

since when?

[pastel pagoda]

So, is the 9.2 patch currently happening?

when can we get in today?

[remote kiln]

a while ago, it's just that high that you will never really see it unless you play like 8 hours a day

[remote kiln]

it's already out

[pastel pagoda]

i cant get in

[karmic oasis]

I will give credit to the Sketelon crew, they are doing an amazing job

[arctic grove]

ANYONE ELSES MULTI KILLS NOT COUNTING ?

[pastel pagoda]

it tells me connection failed. Cant connect to EA server.

[regal holly]

Anyone here go by thr name of cptpabss

[blissful jewel]

Asuming the missions don't count in bots?

[karmic oasis]

they do

[arctic grove]

they dont

I've tried

[wind musk]

Alright. We got 50ish days until BF6. Any suggested videos on how to get better at flying for someone who has never used jets? Lol

[arctic grove]

only thing that counts is the xp +1 points

and multi kills is bugged for me I can't complete it even after killing 4 people in 1 second

[blissful jewel]

I tried to get the multi kill and rounds played but didn't count for me

[remote kiln]

this is for 2042?

[blissful jewel]

I don't mind playing it in public, but some of the annoying missions gonna be annoying af lol

[wild agate]

How to unlock Lynx?

[wind musk]

Yes

[blissful jewel]

If you played the open beta in bf6 you should get it, it seems like it is bugged though. Some peeps didn't get it

[wheat shadow]

damn, the menus make it seem like there's a 128 player Iwo Jima, but it's not 🙁

jebaited!

[remote kiln]

https://youtu.be/g6KHUCxVKT8?si=zraGHKHOCF1W48kg this guide is old, but still somewhat relevant, if you want info on jets silk is more or the less the guy

[ivory arch]

go game with bots and fly until you learn

[karmic oasis]

they stopped making 128 players maps

[opal plover]

alright be fr is this 2042 sale worth it or should i just wait for bf6?

[karmic oasis]

the game is fine now

[opal plover]

its only $6.99 rn on playstation but i havent played this game at all

[karmic oasis]

not the best bf game though

[lone void]

I have my multikill just fine

[karmic oasis]

doesn't have a campaing

[wind musk]

Thanks for the quick reply!

[lone void]

are you guys actually getting the Multikill XP event?

[remote kiln]

no worries

[wind musk]

Gonna end up doing this a bit tonight

[karmic oasis]

its worth it at that price i guess

[blissful jewel]

For sure get it for that price, for 7 bucks there's nothing to lose. Personally i love it

[calm bison]

They literally just copied BFV this is the funniest fucking thing

[remote kiln]

it generally isn't advised that you try to master jets in 2042 as this will distort your muscle memory for battlefield 6, but just be aware of them

[calm bison]

It has the same music for the spawn menu, end of round, and victory/defeat screens

[blissful jewel]

Just the game being pretty dead isn't so fun, takes quite a while to load into a match but its still possible

[dull hawk]

There's a new map in 2042?

[remote kiln]

yes

new weapons and vehicles aswell

[calm bison]

I’m pretty sure that Iwo Jima 128 conquest has the same layout as BFV as well

It’s just asset flips

[pure crescent]

Yep, Iwo Jima

[ivory arch]

yeah there's a new map that plays like crap in 2042, much better in v or 1942

[lime delta]

will the battlepass items be obtainable after battlepass ends?

in 2042?

[remote kiln]

no

[dull hawk]

Damn. They want that HYPE train to keep steaming.

[remote kiln]

battle passes in 2042 are time locked

[frail lantern]

M1 Garand skin in BF1 battle pass section, not this war but sure

[obsidian tide]

2042-ified version of Iwo Jima. The volcano erupted recently, and Sulis/Scion SFG was constructing a bunker complex on the island.

[pure crescent]

uhu looks like it 😄

[wind musk]

At this point I'm looking more for a familiarity to how jets work in the series so that I can attempt to use them in BF6 without wasting resources

[lime delta]

shit i need a10 and su25 then

[violet tinsel]

After playing the beta I’ve completely forgotten how to play 2042 💀🤦🏻‍♂️

[obsidian tide]

Slow. Runny.

[remote kiln]

you will need to go further back then, to around battlefield 4 or 3, the 2042 flight controls and mechanics are very different and not remotely similar to the ones in battlefield 6

[lime delta]

im just bad at battlefield games generally 😭 ill never get there

[obsidian tide]

What games are you better able to handle, in comparison?

[lime delta]

dude i play battlefield since 4 and i still suc

[digital rapids]

6 release will have training mode that allows you to use planes out of games

[lone void]

bro the helis in this game are so bad still

[wind musk]

Shit. Hmm...

[arctic grove]

it's okay battlefield isn't meant to be like cod you don't have to be the best as long as you help your team with your class and give it the best you can

just keep learning and don't beat yourself over it

[wind musk]

That's good to know. I'll end up spending some time in that for sure, but I'll need to dip my toes in the water in 2042 just to get a feel, even if the mechanics are wildly different

[karmic oasis]

i never used any air vehicle in all battlefield games, the controls just suck in all games lol

aand i find it funny that for Battlefront games, you can controls the spaceships easily

so, they can do it lol

[stoic burrow]

Battlefield 2042 has the best controls for aircraft

[broken wren]

They redeemed themselves, no doubt✋ 🤚

[lone void]

US is shit on Iwo Jima

[lime delta]

im so bad at battlefield lmao

[stoic burrow]

they added a new map? will 2042 continue to receive updates after BF6 is released?

cant believe they waited this long to add another map to the game

[lone void]

gonna try BT

see what it's like

[minor remnant]

is it normal that it takes forever to load into a match? stuck here in loading screen for like 2mins or more

[ivory arch]

the map is bad in general in 2042

[quaint wolf]

please screen to pass

[lime delta]

Umm anyone has issue with battlefield 2042 where game frezees and your pc does buzzing noise and game literally crashes entirely your PC this literally happent to me im confused uhh

[stoic burrow]

haha

[arctic grove]

Sounds like the carburator ain't hooked up to the flabudinator, and It ain't got no gas in it

[dapper river]

One last ride....

[half dirge]

Should I get 2042 for this update?

[lime delta]

?????

[ivory arch]

for this update alone? not worth it

[manic dome]

Thx team for updating 🫶 Let's start training and getting ready for BF6 🤘🥳

[arctic grove]

AIN'T GOT NO GAS IN IT

[lime delta]

Anyone had this problem im worried

[languid marsh]

damn 2042 is fine i just miss the beta already

[wispy nexus]

If you can find it on sale or cheap somewhere then yeah its worth $5-$10

[reef cedar]

awh yeah ur odbuctor ain't connected to ur quazar u gotta get them 400pci/asz antiproton hardware installed

[arctic grove]

slaps deer hands roughly on your engine

[reef cedar]

got soft hands

[mossy vortex]

works fine for me , u can try dlss off

[half dirge]

Yea like buying it cheap lol

[final basin]

Yet another 1942 map, why do they keep adding maps from that bf, but not battlefield 2

[lethal fox]

got 2042 on sale for like 3.50€ lol

[half dirge]

I never really got into 2042, I want to see if the large maps are as bad as people say

[rose star]

uhm?? iwo jima trailer just dropped for 2042 LMFAO

[lethal fox]

didnt the whole map drop

[wispy nexus]

They reworked pretty much all the original maps from what they were so they've been cut down a bit from the launch versions

[final basin]

Map is horrible

[lethal fox]

Calling iwo jima a bad map should get you insta banned imo

[ivory arch]

it is a bad map in 2042

[final basin]

Surely adding a map designed for 1942 into 2042 would be a good idea

[half dirge]

Did they change it or something?

[rose star]

so is the A10 a new drop??

[half dirge]

Because if not you’re just a poopy head

[lethal fox]

ah i see, well i havent played it yet so

[final basin]

Yes

[half dirge]

How so?

[wispy nexus]

Modernized it basically.

[final basin]

The volcano is a big part and the interiors by it

[compact plaza]

wtf 2042 has a new map, guns and they finally added the warthog

[final basin]

The map is bad, why add that map into bf 2042 instead add something like strike at karkhand or oman

[reef cedar]

need maps from 2142 ea shareholder value would quadruple by the end of the hour

[final basin]

To celebrate battlefield 6 lets add a 1942 map, AH yes

[half dirge]

I mainly wanna see because I recall people complaining “maps too big in 2042” and now we’re getting “maps too small in BF6” which I think the issue is that the maps are too tight and compound with little allowance for players to attack how they want too

[final basin]

2142 maps would also be good, i just dont see why they are ignoring battlefield 2 tho

[compact plaza]

dude, theres gonna be remakes of previous maps on release so i mean its a mix

small to large scale maps

[final basin]

They keep ignoring that game, even though its one of the most popular battlefield games, 1942 wasnt as popular

[half dirge]

I’m not hating, I agree with you. I’m pointing out the people who are crashing out over the maps lol

[compact plaza]

those are cod players 100%

[half dirge]

the issue with 2042 was “erm maps too big” now it’s “erm maps too small”

[compact plaza]

they cant YY slide cancel

[lethal fox]

this is a dumb statement though, go play metro or locker, its basically 3 lanes aswell. people just hate for fun

[final basin]

Because there is meant to be a middle ground, i thought thats obvious

Notice how no one complains about the medium sized maps that are inbetween small and large

[half dirge]

I was saying I don’t think it’s the map size that’s the issue, I think that it’s more because the maps are much more tight and compact than traditional BF maps, a lot less openness and verticality which makes it feel “small”

[final basin]

Cairo is a perfect example of a really good middle ground map

[half dirge]

I’ve seen people complaining a ton about Cairo lol

[final basin]

Wayyy less than the other maps

Cairo breakthrough is amazing, while cairo rush isnt

[compact plaza]

well lets be honest here bf4s small maps are really fast pace compared to the shit we played on the bf6 beta, plus bf4s movement was weird with jumping cause people just turning bf4 into a movement shooter

[final basin]

Leave it to the devs from 2005 to make better maps than those in 2025

[compact plaza]

everyone would just bhop

[final basin]

I never understood how its so hard to make at least 2 amazing maps, 2042 had none of that

[half dirge]

I think there are some changes they can make, but I am very interested to see the actual large scale maps for BF6, I really hope they’re good.

[compact plaza]

they need to open up the roofs honestly, that would 100% slow the map down

[final basin]

I hope so too, but i dont think they will reach that level of map design anytime soon

[slate grove]

is there anyone else who played the bf6 beta and had linked there accounts but still cant get the lynx?

[compact plaza]

even for that size of the map

[half dirge]

Also no joke, this is the literal complaining cycle on the subreddit:

that moment when current BF is becoming COD
but old BF was way better
but old BF was also turning into COD
and current BF isnt like like old BF because its turning into COD

this is not coherent at all.

[compact plaza]

sounds like the cod cycle as well

[final basin]

Basically, reddit battlefield players are battlefield 1 players, basically no brain new gen bf players. Battlefield ALWAYS has been like "cod", bf games back then had more movement that cod games

[half dirge]

I think COD right now is utter shit and Activision has lost their mind for a long time

But just going “I don’t like X there for BF is trying ti functionally be COD” is a bad argument from people

[final basin]

Battlefield 1 was like a curse and a blessing at the same time, people thought THAT is what battlefield is, but it isnt

[compact plaza]

Everyone shitting on the current cod game

trailer releases everyones hype

game comes out people hate it and say the old cod is better

cycle repeats

[half dirge]

I will say, I think BF needs to fix the jump shotting

[atomic egret]

All I know is this BF6 beta feels faster than 2042 and that is promising.

[final basin]

Make jump shooting valuable

[compact plaza]

tf

[half dirge]

I mean anyone with more than half a brain knows it’s slop now.

[quaint wolf]

Hello everyone, does anyone have screenshots of the new pass? I'm looking for them because I'm out of town every week.

[obsidian tide]

And some still tried to do the same with BF6 as well.

[compact plaza]

why would anyone want that? Battlefield is more on realism why would a soldier carrying heavy equipment jump shoot

[final basin]

Please tell me what is your first battlefield game

I would LOVE to know

[compact plaza]

battlefield 3 on the xbox 360

so gtfo

[half dirge]

I think with BF6 there should be vehicle and explosive buffs, no more auto spotting,

[compact plaza]

Actually

[tall crypt]

Why is this a good thing?

[half dirge]

And I think the devs said they’d fix the movement

[final basin]

And you want to talk about realism? you do realise movement was like that since BATTLEFIELD 2

[compact plaza]

it was 1942

[final basin]

Talks about realism, played since battlefield 3, ok bud

[white field]

i aint playing 2042 again but i want them skins

[final basin]

People were bunny hopping since battlefield 2

[half dirge]

BF4 made it to where if you tried to jump and shoot your accuracy would be awful

[final basin]

Battlefield was never a realism game, go play squad

[tall crypt]

If people want quick gameplay with very low TTK go play cod ffs

[half dirge]

I think he means immersion

[kindred dagger]

when 2042 discount?

[half dirge]

Not sure but check Instant Gaming and just buy a key there

It’s prolly cheap there

[minor remnant]

how to fix the problem with not loading into a match when trying to play with a friend

[atomic egret]

Because it's an effing Beta and it runs super smooth ( on my PS5 at least). That is great because EVERY OTHER BF before it hadn't..

[compact plaza]

okay unc go do that in battlefield 1 and BF5 where you get slowed down for even attmepting it

just go play cod instead

[final basin]

Read my previous point about bf1

[tall crypt]

Oh I thought you meant the actual gunolay and everything not the performance

[final basin]

" reddit battlefield players are battlefield 1 players, basically no brain new gen bf players. Battlefield ALWAYS has been like "cod", bf games back then had more movement that cod games"

[tall crypt]

Bf2042 performs infinitely better though

[compact plaza]

i think ur stuck in the past unc

[dull stratus]

What the heck, Iwo Jima?

[final basin]

They tried to make battlefield somewhat realistic in battlefield 1 and realise it isnt the formula, so they went into a more arcade style

[compact plaza]

IKR

[still vault]

Iwo Jima on Breakthrough is actually pretty sick

[compact plaza]

Im updating rn

[stiff dew]

Still stuck on the damned lynx not unlocking

[tall crypt]

Battlefield has never been a high paced shooter lmao. Battlefield 4 is a prime example of how it used to be so tactical and slow

[compact plaza]

steams kinda slow

[final basin]

Other way around, you are the one trying to slow down the game, maybe you are the unc here

[final basin]

Are you ok?

[compact plaza]

bro u have an anime pfp and ur 50 years old go start a family

[tall crypt]

Did you actually play battlefield 4?

[final basin]

You must of played a different battlefield game

[final basin]

I played competitive battlefield 4

[devout junco]

I’ll get back to this game to get the BF6 rewards, why not

[robust ether]

Ah yes, Battlefield 4, famous tactical milsim lmao

[final basin]

Nice argument, also im 22

[terse jay]

hello guys, did u try the new update ?

[tall crypt]

Not one person was running around by themself with no aim gunning people down. It was a completely different type of game to what it’s like now

What you’re basically asking for is call of duty but big

[final basin]

LOOOL

Do you want me to show you battlefield 4 footage of people doing movement mechanics

[tall crypt]

Lad I’ve played battlefield all of my life I promise you it’s completely different

[final basin]

And jump shooting all around the place

People did that in battlefield 2 brother, and even in battlefield 3

[ripe trail]

Good day, Newbie here.

Question: If I Subscribe to EA PLAY thru Steam to play BF42, Do I still get the BF6 Exclusive Reward playing BF42 thru EA Play Subscription once BF6 officially launch?

[tidal hare]

Bf1 was the most arcade in the series but ok

[final basin]

No? Battlefield 4 was

In what way was battlefield 1, the way it was played and the movement more arcadey

[compact plaza]

in my opinion i think that was hardline

but thats just me

[tall crypt]

Are you telling me battlefield 4 is as quick as the newer battlefields?

[half dirge]

Hardline is actually pretty fun, good spin off game

[tall crypt]

Seriously?

[final basin]

Yes it is, the sprint speed was calculated to be faster than battlefield 6

And dont forget jump speed as well

Air strafing as well

[tidal hare]

The general ttk, the movement, the sweetspot mechanic, presence of gas nade etc.

[compact plaza]

it shouldnt of been called battlefield but should of stayed as a battlefield game to its core

[tall crypt]

And TTK?

[tidal hare]

Ttk is pretty similar I thinm

Think*

[tall crypt]

It’s definitely lower on bf2042

[half dirge]

To be fair, I watched a clip of a BF4 player playing with jump shots and sliding around like he was playing a current MW COD game, I don’t think most people play like that but it’s not impossible to do so in older COD games

[tidal hare]

Wasn't the convo about bf6 vs 4?

[final basin]

The movement is slow, so that defeats your point of arcadey but ok, sweet spot mechanic doesnt mean its more arcadey, its more realistic due to the ttk being faster, and yes the ttk is the only one i can agree with on the general guns

[tidal hare]

2042 idk, there are outlier guns

[obsidian tide]

Have you ever played any of the following games in your life:

1. Red Orchestra?
2. Rising Storm 2?
3. Insurgency?

[tall crypt]

He’s trying to tell us that bf4 is the quickest game battlefield

[candid fractal]

how tf are we in 2025 and you cant even fresh install 2042 and play without some issues even loading the game what is this

[tall crypt]

Insurgency yes. What’s your point?

[compact plaza]

almost 20k people playing 2042 on steam holy

[tall crypt]

I also played squad and hell let loose

[obsidian tide]

How is BF4 comparable to Insurgency 2014?

[tidal hare]

Movement wasn't that slow, also bf1 had tons of bs ways to kill people

[tall crypt]

BF4 is quicker that’s obvious

[tidal hare]

The plane was the strongest in bf1

[half dirge]

I mean you made the comparison, not him bruh

[final basin]

They nerfed the slide due to it being faster than they wanted it. BF1 was in no way an arcadey battlefield game to them

They deliberately slowed down the movement

[tidal hare]

You can't judge how arcade a game is by sheer sprint speed

Bf1 requires less skill to kill people

[compact plaza]

oh this guy can tho cause HE says it

[fluid hedge]

will 2042 go on sale on steam today ?

[tidal hare]

Is the way I would put it

[tall crypt]

BF4 you had to be more careful and actually play as a team. Any battlefield after that is the complete opposite

[final basin]

?, the closer the game is to real life the less arcacdey it is

How is that hard to understand

[tidal hare]

Movement speed isn't the only metric

[final basin]

Its one of the metric i listed

[half dirge]

I don’t think Battlefield has ever been “slow” I think that the allowance of open maps allowed people to play or attack how they wanted to

[final basin]

But ok

[next estuary]

does anyone know how to fix the mouse (aim bug) in bf2042 i can scope in and shoot but not aim

[primal peak]

That's how it always was for me.

[half dirge]

That’s why when people say BF6 is “chaotic” it doesn’t actually tell me anything and isn’t a good descriptor to use

[lilac dust]

wingsuiting on iwo jima was not on my 2025 bingo card

[tall crypt]

BF6 is definitely one of the quickest ones yet, but that’s probably also down to how small the maps are at the moment

[primal peak]

It feels more tactical than the games have for a while in my experience. At least, I'm more successful when I'm playing and communicating with a squad and moving slower and strateigically.

[rugged apex]

Hey I'm not sure if this was already asked but I have 2042 on the EA launcher. Will the BF6 unlockables be available to the Steam version on Launch or will I need to preorder on EA Launcher?

[final basin]

The sprint speed is one of the slowest without the knife out, and gunplay being fast is due to maps

[half dirge]

If the maps were more open, and less tight, people wouldn’t feel like the maps were small or as quick. That’s how I see it

[lilac dust]

2042 feels slow? how? you can zoom about in wingsuits and everything lol how is BF6 faster? and I mean in a good way BF6 feels heavier as a soldier should be

[compact plaza]

i do feel like bf6 is fast pace just because of the maps but it also flows really well, im also hyped for operation firestorm to return

[tall crypt]

Once again sprint speed doesn’t suddenly make all of the gameplay quick

[half dirge]

For which BF game?

[still vault]

2042 has a lot on EA App and Epic too which are not counted there.

[primal peak]

Yeah, that's probably what's convincing people that it's faster than other games despite it being slower than their favorite slower battlefield.

[tall crypt]

You’ve also got things like animation speeds and whatnot

[calm acorn]

The new bf6 skins battlepass thing, do i need to play bf2042 or bf6 on release for those? If 2042 then i might actually decide to free up 100gb of space for 2042 again lol

[primal peak]

BF6

[primal peak]

You play 2042 to grind the cosmetics. From what I've heard, they're just for use in BF6.

[next estuary]

is there a better channel for this question on this discord?

[compact plaza]

did they also somehow optimize 2042 cause it feels really nice on ultra rn

[tall crypt]

Yeah I’m using a 2080 super and I can run it on ultra 2k fine

[still vault]

That was a long time ago they did that. People just listened to the negativity echochamber though.

[calm bison]

Despite having played 2 games and restarting the game the Lynx won’t unlock ☹️

[mortal haven]

Me 2. Nothing is unlocked for me

[rugged apex]

Do you know if I need to preorder on EA Launcher since thats where I have 2042 or will it transfeover to the Steam version?

[calm bison]

I played the BF6 beta. What the hell DICEv

[final basin]

They need to add TV missiles when the game comes out, and make it oneshot like it used to

[stiff dew]

Either game on steam?

[calm bison]

Playing this on Xbox. Both games have the same account

[primal peak]

No idea. I assume it's linked to your EA account, so as long as you're linked to your EA account on Steam, I think it should give you the cosmetics when you get the game.

[radiant talon]

The Lynx is locked for me too… same account I used for the beta

[solar barn]

Do the portal modes like conquest of the ages give the same progress to the battle pass?

[primal peak]

If they say "full xp" then they should.

[solar barn]

Ok great. I only really enjoy the old maps and guns in 2042 lol

[sleek gulch]

2042 had just 4k active players yesterday. Now nearly 20k active. One last push I supppose.

[lilac dust]

my god the sound the lynx makes feels like i'm dropping bombs lol

[solar barn]

Will probably be much higher during peak hours

[crimson brook]

All the 2042 haters jealous af

[pseudo sonnet]

How do you get it bro, i don't understand

[solar barn]

I like the update. Gives everyone something to do until BF6 launch and honestly the beta was exhausting because of the small map pace that 2042 feels kind of relaxing

[rugged apex]

Thanks time for me to figure out if my accounts are linked. Thanks again

[lilac dust]

I had it from the moment I logged in lol

[final basin]

wdym

[crimson brook]

Nothing if ur not a hater ❤️

[final basin]

Well 2042 is a bad battlefield game, but a good fps game

[radiant talon]

Mine just says it’s locked… even though it’s the same account that I had spent 37 hours on the beta with

[still vault]

What you buy on x store, stays on x store

[pseudo sonnet]

Damn. I played beta and nothing

[radiant talon]

Same here

Definitely a glitch

Hoping they actually fix it ASAP rather than leaving it broken

[compact plaza]

ngl i would love for them to add a free cam feature for the jets in 2042

[pseudo sonnet]

I wonder if by "play the beta" they mean play it on the last day... or whatever reason why we never got one

[crimson brook]

Didn't ask tho

[lilac dust]

Might be a glitch for people who didn't play on last day good point. I played a lot yesterday

[compact plaza]

i got to used to the jets in bf6

[obsidian tide]

I get that, but one strategy for understanding another's view of things and opinion is to take the user's experience, and challenge it based on knowing that in this case, the two games can handle very, very differently. To see if both are "slow" and "tactical" to him in handling, or if they are not quite the same to him in these ways.

[final basin]

Ok, you are a 2042 enjoyer so idc

[radiant talon]

I’ve played it all 8 days

so nah it’s definitely a glitch

[lone void]

I just saw someone with a skin that looked like the AI soldiers?

[crimson brook]

Then dont ping me if u don't care lol. Also this is 2042 channel rofl

[radiant talon]

very frustrating tbf… just gimme my semi-auto AT rifle dammit 🤣😭

[echo wadi]

How long does it take to max out the battlepass? I want the skins for bf6 but I really dont wanna play 2042

[stiff dew]

I played all but this past friday

[sand island]

New Official Road to Battlefield 6: Iwo Jima Trailer looks really good 🔥

[limber bolt]

So, if I play 2042 through EA Play, but purchase BF6 on Steam... would the items earned through the Battle Pass for 9.2 transfer?

[final basin]

Not long if you do challenges

[prime ivy]

How does the leveling up work in the free pass?

[dawn finch]

Where is the best place to buy a cheap key for 2042

[verbal osprey]

19k on steam, not included EA

[lilac dust]

The amount of sectors on breakthrough iwo jima is fuckin awesome lol

[verbal osprey]

and you got mofos saying 2042 is dead 😂

[final basin]

Because it is dead, it got brought back to life due to the update

[compact plaza]

im going to be so happy i wont have to deal with wildcats anymore

[fierce dome]

reinstalling 2042 for the update

[crimson brook]

Haters saying it. Everyone else plays it

[obsidian tide]

At fastest, probably within 1 week.

[final basin]

It had 5k players before the update right after bf6 shut down, more players sitting battlefield 6 settings

[pseudo sonnet]

Yeah, that's weird

[compact plaza]

thats the most bull AA in 2042

[obsidian tide]

There is now a rush to finish up the Free Pass and kill it off/lay it to rest in their minds.

[final basin]

Look at the player count before battlefield 6 came out, bf5 and 1 had 15k players while 2042 had like 4k

[crimson brook]

Hater logic: if it's not the best, it's dead 😂

[obsidian tide]

Relative death moments.

Death of relevancy, playercount decline, perception, ability to find matches reliably... All those things can be treated as stages of relative death of a game product.

Map Update: Renewal Temporarily Disabled

The map Renewal has been temporarily deactivated in Team Death Match due to a matchmaking issue. We’re working on a fix and will update when it’s back online. Thanks for your patience!

​ · Aug 18, 2025, 3:46 PM

[final basin]

Imagine getting less players than a game from 2018 and 2016

[crimson brook]

WW1 and WW2 roleplayers outnumber normal ppl on the internet, nothing new

[prime ivy]

I can't believe they're making me endure this game again to get skins 😭

[sullen creek]

So you’re telling me I have to play bf 2042 in order to get bf6 stuff?

[obsidian tide]

This will happen again in BF6.

[sullen creek]

How many tiers are in the game?

[zealous fractal]

whats the best AR so far?

[obsidian tide]

Yes. There are things in its Free Pass that unlock in both 2042 and BF6.

[prime ivy]

Yes. There is a free pass which has 60 levels, a character skin is level 60 😭

[sullen creek]

😔😔😔

[cobalt onyx]

yo guys anyone wanna trade bf6 i have hell let loose acc and helldivers 2

[obsidian tide]

Every 10 tiers will have at least one thing tied to BF6 as well as 2042.

[lilac dust]

This is kinda wild. There's pretty much just about the same amount of content you'd get in an entire new season of 2042 in this update

[verbal osprey]

60 levels? because i'm still installing the update

[prime ivy]

Yes

[main urchin]

am i doing something wrong or sniping in this game is absolutely terrible i cant even find a button to zero my scope

[obsidian tide]

And you have 50 days to grind it all.

[sullen creek]

@prime ivy @obsidian tide can I just buy tiers instead LOL

[verbal osprey]

grab my k30

[obsidian tide]

Also, the FNB Charm is back.

[obsidian tide]

No. You must pay the Time Cost this time.

[prime ivy]

Nope it doesn't let you 😭😭😭😭

[sullen creek]

FUCK

[prime ivy]

And only 49 days to do it

[lilac dust]

challenge accepted

[sleek gulch]

I don't dislike the 2042 for what it is overall but it also never really hooked me continuosuly like previous BF titles and the class abilities really made it sour. It will suffice for something until BF6 drops.

[sullen creek]

now I gotta re download it

[obsidian tide]

Time Cost is mandatory now.

[echo wadi]

Since they brought back bf4 engi skin for bf6 we better get a bf4 assault skin in the game

[verbal osprey]

Nah 60 levels will be quick unless you need millions.

Season 6 and 7 took me forever when you can't grind circling around that classic bf3 map

[sullen creek]

You know I didn’t like bf 2042 that much but it just didn’t feel like a battlefield game at least hardline made an attempt to be one

[obsidian tide]

There is also the secret "The Prototype" weapon. How to get it must be discovered.

[crimson brook]

It's literally in the name lol

[azure basalt]

what is the "prototype" weapon bruh

[crimson brook]

Battlefield 2042

[sullen creek]

Bring back the bow

[obsidian tide]

I do not yet know.

[sullen creek]

😭

[azure basalt]

[sullen creek]

They should have brought back battlefield premium as well

[azure basalt]

it must be a easter egg waepon

[obsidian tide]

It could be tied to Phantom Revenant, but unsure at this time.

[azure basalt]

it must be

the phantom program in 2042 is not yet finished though

[obsidian tide]

Codex entries added with the update include something referencing Redacted (Known Easter Egg hub), and a Ciphered message.

A new Hunt begins.

[tardy laurel]

In case anyone finds it some of the portal maps are on the official solo/coop modes for breakthrough and conquest

[rose cloud]

Do we have pictures of the new stuff in the battle pass that is for BF6?

[pure flower]

Is the Lynx sniper still locked for anyone else even though I played the BF6 beta? (Same acc and everything)

[chilly umbra]

its bugged

[pure flower]

Ah that been confirmed?

[wary marlin]

play a match and it should unlock

[chilly umbra]

i played 6 and its still locked

[pure flower]

I played 3 games and it’s still locked, restarted game too

[oak sedge]

Finally they added the attack jets

[wary marlin]

Did you play bf6 beta on the same account?

[chilly umbra]

yeah

[pure flower]

Ye

[chilly umbra]

bad coding 🙉

[wary marlin]

nah, what game mode have you played?

[chilly umbra]

the new one

full match

[pure flower]

I played 1 conquest on haven, 1 conquest on Iwo Jima and BT on Iwo Jima

[wary marlin]

What platforms are you on?

[pure flower]

Xbox

[chilly umbra]

Im PC

[tepid dove]

Perhaps related to the ongoing phantom Easter eggs?

[compact plaza]

im not gonna miss lis WHY DID THEY ADD HER

[chilly umbra]

i think its internal issue with player status or something like that

must be

[wary marlin]

can you try restarting the client

[pure flower]

Sorry to be a pain, curious what area at dice do you work at? (Curiosity is taking over xD)

[tepid dove]

There I was, balling in my Huron

Until NEEEEEEEOWWWWM

She's rammed her rocket right up my rotor and blown me to kingdom come

[wary marlin]

game product manager

[chilly umbra]

i closed EA app completely and opened it lets see

[pure flower]

Ayee massive W

[reef oar]

Started BF2042 out of curiosity today.

Any advice?

[pure flower]

Yeah I also restarted my game twice after each game (all full matches)

[cold iris]

Does anyone know if I do the 2042 pass on Xbox then play bf6 on steam I get the rewards ? If it's linked to the same ea account

[pure flower]

Bloody hell my auto correct is gonna be the death of me

[dapper bolt]

same question i was wondering about

[chilly umbra]

now BF6Beta gone from my library

[calm acorn]

Oh i see, yeah, not really a 2042 fan after playing it for some time but bf6 beta was amazing and thr skins are rad. Hoping to cop bf6 on like -50% sale from somewhere if it ever goes before redeeming the skins stops lol

[sick eagle]

i've played 2, not unlocked (played beta)

[cold iris]

Yeah not trying to spend 70 on it for some skins

[pure flower]

Bc it’s the same client as the Labs, it’ll go back to being labs apparently

[chilly umbra]

still Lynx

locked

[reef oar]

Btw I saw some BF3/4 style portal gameplays in youtube how can I find those servers in portal browser?

[karmic oasis]

use your specialist ability and help the team

[sick eagle]

i wonder how absurd the lynx is going to be

[karmic oasis]

SPOT

[stiff dew]

Have done all of these things, and no unlock of the lynx

[stiff dew]

apparently doesn't shoot straight and does 90dmg to body

[wary marlin]

What's you EA user name?

[pure flower]

Is there any gameplay in the world right now of the f2000 in 2042? My fav weapon of all time and I need to see gameplayyyyy

[wary marlin]

whats your EA account user name?

[chilly umbra]

MarvellousN1

[obsidian tide]

TV Missile and lore reasons.

Originally treated as a way of onboarding players through her also being Exodus new blood, she got a little more set up come Season 5 and Reclaimed.

[sick eagle]

uh

[orchid prism]

wait yeah why do i not have the lynx even tho i played both closed and open beta

[sick eagle]

do i answer also

[stiff dew]

Same here. Played all but one day of the beta, Lynx not unlocked. Both 2042 and 6 Beta on Steam, accounts linked. EA account ID: Jotunn

[pure flower]

Not a Jotunn user booooo

[stiff dew]

fuck off man, had this name since before D1 even came out

[sick eagle]

gffgfrtfrfe

[stiff dew]

And never played D1 or D2 lmao

[pure flower]

Was in d2 xD not d1

[stiff dew]

Had the name since 2011 or 2012

[pure flower]

That’s fair then

[stiff dew]

Suddenly a bunch of people get mad at me for it

years back

[compact plaza]

im tired of the server latency with lis, rocket hits but not even on me

[stiff dew]

[visible confusion]

[pure flower]

it’s bc it’s a weapon that fires tracking projectiles in d2 and it’s considered 0 skill (it’s annoying tbf) @stiff dew

[stiff dew]

Understandable then

[vocal sand]

Anyone else getting connection issues I’m getting matchmaking timeouts and now it’s saying I can’t connect to EA servers

[obsidian tide]

Hello, DICE member and product manager.

Client restarts on Steam copies of 2042 are not helping to unlock the Lynx, as well as attempting to launch both 2042 and the BF6 Open Beta from Steam.

EA Account username is SC1040.

As an aside, in spite of being a Battlefield Newsletter subscriber, I have never managed to get the Vector skin set for Irish. The Free Condor went through/was able to be cleared out eventually, but that reward was not. I am not the only one with that issue; tens more reported it in various places.

[pure flower]

I did also hop off bc I’m heading to work soon so it will say I’m offline @wary marlin

Wont be able to check anything till later lol

[wary marlin]

poking the team on it

[pure flower]

Appreciate it man ❤️

Legend

[orchid prism]

i wonder why so many people (including me) dont have the lynx even tho we played beta

[normal stag]

why is every lobby 0?

[sick eagle]

bug

[chilly umbra]

🙏

[normal stag]

as in 0ppl

[pure flower]

Yeah it’s weird bc I’m seeing the issue on all platforms so it’s not platform specific

[fathom coral]

hey guys, how long is the battlepass to complete for BF2042 players ? please

[stiff dew]

There are multiple reddit threads and even a thread on the EA forums about it

[pure flower]

I know a few have it bc there’s gameplay of it on Reddit and ofc they’re complaining about it

[main urchin]

ngl after playing beta bf2042 feels soooo clunky

[orchid prism]

im 10% done already just from today

[fathom coral]

how many hours played ?

[obsidian tide]

By the way, as a second aside, get someone to update the Secure Boot guides EA provides, to mention that BitLocker drive encryption Must be turned off before going through the enablement steps. If it is not turned off temporarily up front, it is a consistent breaking point in the key enrollment and enablement process which can brick end user PCs.

[orchid prism]

i keep forgetting tac sprint exists and cant scout while downed

[orchid prism]

like total on bf2042 or today

[pure flower]

Just wish I could buy my way to tier 22 bc I only want to use the f2000 grrrrrr

[fathom coral]

today, to get an idea of how long the BP is

[main urchin]

im trying to play as a sniper but velocity and all feels so clunky expecially when you cant zero the scope

[orchid prism]

uh maybe like 3 hours

[orchid prism]

true

[obsidian tide]

Use the 3X with dot and ring reticle as a guide for feeling.

[fathom coral]

damn, so at least 25 hours to complete entire BP

[orchid prism]

its only 60 tiers and you unlock 5.5 teirs a week excluding xp points

[main urchin]

yeah but first i have to get kills to get that scope but i cant even hit a standing still target

[primal peak]

I must be a psychopath. I've never zeroed a scope in my life, but I still love sniping. 😂

[orchid prism]

ive gotten most of this weeks challenges done already

[normal stag]

why are all lobies empty and cannot find a game?

[stiff dew]

Haven't tried it since 2014 in BF4 lol

[orchid prism]

i struggled to get a random lobby for anything other than iwo jima 24/7 but you can server browse in portal and find a lot of games

tho the ping isnt that good rn

[obsidian tide]

SWS and DXR are very forgiving for scope ranging. You do not have to raise them much.

NTW will drop a lot.

Lynx may also. From what I hear, it is a Heavier NTW.

[limpid cave]

Been hitting everyday on a winning strike building the bankroll send me Friend request or message me for link up now😎

[normal stag]

Do i get xp in portal?

[orchid prism]

yeah i believe they made it really easy to grind

[orchid prism]

yes

[normal stag]

okay thanks

[orchid prism]

servers in portal show how much xp you get

they show via percentage in yellow (default color)

[main urchin]

yeah im trying to align the dots on scope with distance but it seems that they are pointless

[limpid cave]

Been hitting everyday on a winning strike building the bankroll send me Friend request or message me for link up now😎

[cold iris]

Any 2042 pass knowers

[obsidian tide]

Do midway through the dots instead.

[primal peak]

How's Iwo Jima, by the way?

[orchid prism]

really good imo, they did a good job modernizing the bfv map

[primal peak]

That's good

[cold iris]

Any dice individuals I have a particular question

[orchid prism]

the tunnels on the last 2 sectors in breakthrough are really good

[primal peak]

Nice.

I'm suddenly excited to play 2042 for the first time ever. 😂

[obsidian tide]

Mount Suribachi erupted, and Sulis was constructing tunnels and a bunker complex on it.

[orchid prism]

ALSO iwo jima uses bfv music soundtrack

[normal stag]

so like is this game dead cause even in portal lobies are pretty unpopulated

[primal peak]

YES!

Johan Svoderqvist!

[obsidian tide]

Crossplay On mandatory.

[normal stag]

idk how to turn it on 😭

[obsidian tide]

Options.

[dark bone]

ive been playing recently might take a little bit to start a lobby but by the end of the game theyre always full

[normal stag]

okay thanks

[karmic oasis]

ok, the new skins are pretty cool

[dark bone]

Did a new map drop? is that the Iwa Jima people are talking about?

[lilac dust]

Not mandatory for PS5. I turned it off just now and got a full match instantly with just PS5 players lol

[obsidian tide]

It eventually turns mandatory for PC players due to how the matchmaking works. With Crossplay Off, it ignores any match with even a single Other platform player present in searching for one.

[lilac dust]

Oh yeah for sure wouldn't recommend turning it off if you're a PC player

[obsidian tide]

The consoles may find it more favorable to turn off, but PC users may not.

[lilac dust]

BF6 on the other hand there's no need to turn off crossplay thanks to the much improved prioritising of console with console matchmaking 🥳

[verbal osprey]

oh man, lightning...

[rancid parcel]

Guys is bf2042 worth getting now

[keen ridge]

Absolutley

[civic python]

Is it true that we're getting a new map and a FREE BP today???

[dark bone]

people overly hate it imo

[lilac dust]

It's been out for a few hours 😎

[civic python]

[obsidian tide]

Only the Elite Edition to save some grinding hassle, and only on sale.

[hexed granite]

so... where are all the players, either 64/128 nothing is filling lol.

[obsidian tide]

Crossplay Off?

[civic python]

i mean... today is monday morning
