Anybody wanna squad up and play portal on bf3 classes?

Because the number you need are 61 42 and 94 then you go to the radio

Thank god then you atleast have some playtime to back up ur statement

What do you find good about it other than smoke utility?

people are trying to glitch this ee and it's killing the fun out of it

I will agree with hipfire feeling pretty good sometimes! Accuracy i simply cant agree with... I have it T1 and it really doesnt compete with any of the meta guns at all sadly.

Anybody unlocking the new weapon? or know a good server to unlock it

junior mesa
#

The cool factor is the main placebo here! I ONLY got it to T1 because i find it cool. Its a straight handicap compared to other guns sadly :/ and this isnt just me and Syntax being negative and dissapointed (we are but still). Most people seem to agree it could use a buff and Sorrow also places it as good but not great. His math on the stats also show that

What platform do u own the game on

olive egret
#

steam

radiant pier
#

Try starting steam as admin then verify files

#

Could be a permission issue with ur drives/disk

olive egret
#

is this an issue? because when i was on open beta for bf6 i was having issue playing the beta on steam so i had to download it on ea, is there a battlefield game issue on steam?

junior mesa

Also make sure to update your drivers

also, i see bad admins are still a thing, even in 2042. They establish rules, like "no main camping" you point it out, the server gets mad, tells the admin to ban you cause "crying", even though they are complaining too, admin ejects the original person to point it out instead of fixing the issue. Thats so battlefield 3

I've got no issue with the sniping, and plenty of maps have a good amount of cover - just not so much in 2042 lol. And I agree that 2042 has probably the worst, most dumb, unskilled playerbase of any FPS ever - but if you go back to play any prior game in the series, you'll find skilled players in basically every match

Having never played 2042 until this BP started, I was expecting the worst with all I've seen about it. Other than some larger than necessary maps, it plays pretty well.

Also not sure of this "grind" of which everyone speaks. The weekly rewards drop without thinking about them during normal gameplay. It's not really reasonable to expect to be done by now. Or to even be close.

But if you're at 31 already (!), that means you've gotten a lot more XP dots which has driven up your XP/dot cost. The weekly mission dots don't affect the XP/dot cost.

Only need 21.5 levels of pure xp and the rest will be done with weekly points. So it’s not as bad as you think. Especially with 2x and 3x weekends. If you get to the end and are scared of not making it then just jump into a ammo box farm and get 180k xp per hour in the 3x weekends.
