yeah i know. i just wish it didn't
i like it too but most don't so can you blame them?
not just leaks lol. they showcased it at the reveal event. its 1000% confirmed
i guess that makes sense
yeah.. i think it is coz the stupid streamers said there should be battleroyal
streaming equipment's price should be artificially inflated 300%
nobody from OG and just normal battlefield player ever wanted it
Streamers are the most shitty irritating people on earth
Btw right now due to a visual bug it seems like occasionally i get no progress on the pass so it looks.
nah battleroyale was in the making a long while before streamers started wanting it. are you guys forgetting firestorm or whatever it was called
yeah but bf6 hasn't
also nobody played firestorm lol
Failed horribly
been there since the start, only visual!
Any help/fixes? I can't post a clip here but I've been having a weird bug where my gun keeps un-adsing when I shoot. Very very annoying. I have to restart my game everytime
battle royales just got old
Battlefield 5 failed, ofcourse firestorm failed with it
now the only people who like them are streamers and people who can't afford the real game
battleroyal just dont belong in Battlefield.. thats rly one thing that worry me coz everything is just awesome about that game giving old BF3-4 vibes with normal skins
why let it worry you if you can just not play it
because battle royale takes dev time away from the real game so they will put less effort
coz we all know what that will do to the game it self
thats why they have multiple studios
what?
they have atleast 6 studios so we good
the player base will change so much
it will attract the wrong crowd as well
how will it change the playerbase?
the cod players
nah yall just haters fr fr xd
i'm not gatekeeping cod players i'm gatekeeping people who play every game like cod
you think cod is the first battleroyale?
Yes iam coz i just dont think BF6 should have BR
especially that stupid faze guy or whatever
so because warzone is a huge success we think battlefield BR will be cod hell?
no but it's obvious they are trying to attract the cod fanbase
no it just dont belong in BF
good thing its a seperate gamemode besides the main bf6 game, which is also why its free
atleast some good news
What’s cod hell ?
and so what?
they will ruin the game
Idk for some reason most Bf players have this weird obsessions with hating cod players and vice versa. We are all nerds looking at pixels in a game and yet we for some reason need to hate xd
you know how it feels when a medic just runs over your body without reviving? now it will happen 10x as often
They will bring a different play style for sure
how...
this. cod players need to understand that not every game is cod and they need to play the game right
they are literally asking for killstreaks
sure is lucky the gunplay and movement isnt the same then
have they got them? no? so what is the problem
which isnt necessarily a bad thing
Just don’t play battle royal if you don’t like it that much, or just play with people you know 😅
Yes. It is.
it is though. because the cod playstyle is the opposite of bf
im not hating COD player base, i was cod gamer once, but its literally two different vibes and with battleroyal it will be more as one style
i won't play the br. i'm talking about bf6 multiplayer mode.
i don't hate cod players i hate cod players that only play cod. i play cod too.
Second sentence then 😄
People who play this game for the BR will prob buy the main game for leveling up and upgrading weapons and etc. then they will bring their br style game in
So you need to be at tier 34 or past 34 to just need the weeklies?
Which is my only concern
34 to just need weeklies
They have different teams working on different parts of the game. You know EA is a multi-billion dollar company right? They have the resources lmao
How do you perform Objective Airdrops?
Was going to ask this too
just be the driver of any vehicle and have teammates get out of it when you are on objectives
Heli copter above a objective and people jump out
not just air vehicles, tanks and stuff works too
ok
easier to do with ground vehicles because i still don't know how to fly helicopters in 2042
Use a controller
Quad copter
Also learn how to fly it’s very useful
can i have it connected at the same time as my regular stuff and just swap back to keyboard when i get out of a heli?
Yes
controller is basically required for jets
Why are you guys gatekeeping this franchise at all. It really needs players.
well i know how to in bf4
Not really ?
because they bring a certain type of playstyle that isn't what we want
Since when
It’s bf6 controls are also closer to 2042
Gatekeeping is fun i guess... Game racism xddd
Best to learn how to fly with keyboard and mouse
because you can't keep moving with a mouse so you need to reposition a lot and it's hard to turn
Increase sensitivity
For airplanes
oh good idea
i just am not that good with jets anyways, the guns are hard
Keyboard and mouse is a lot better than controller tho, once you master it
Takes like 3 hours of practice
So much more freedom, like being able to move the jet without moving camera
ok
Wish the free can was actually a free can instead of a button to look backwards
i don't use my controller anyways that much on pc because it requires me to connect it to my pc which is annoying because it's with my xbox
is the servers lagging for anyone else today? just when I thought 2042 couldnt get any worse
Same goes for helicopters for some reason
No
Thankfully it is on 6 now
No more reverse cam
are you even playing? says you're offline
Yes ?
Multi tab
alt tab
aye but you still only have 2 hands buddy how can you type and play
Reported for obvious haxx
He also has 2 feet
probably also has a gamer chair
Called being in a tank moving to a objective
mmm feet 
but...like...if you were in a tank you couldnt be playing? theres no internet connection
does anybody know if the skins will have unique voices in bf6? i hope the chinese engineer speaks chinese or at least an accent instead of just default
how do you even fit 3 monitors in a tank theres like no room
dont think its been confirmed or denied but probably not
Don’t you change race and gender every time you die anyway ?
yeah but i'd like my chinese engineer to speak chinese or sound it
Didn’t they have that in 4, 1 and 5?
the VA strike isnt going on anymore so it is possible but very unlikely that skins will have special voices.
Country unique dialogue
so it's just a regular engineer inspired by china
i'm guessing the skins aren't canon because pax armata is one and that makes no sense because it's the future
how so
Anyone else get all the beta rewards and all the twitch rewards
yes
i did except the playstation exclusive one which i wanted but i don't have a ps
I got the PlayStation exclusive as well
Angels VA probably doing ALL the voices 😭
Yes beta rewards were way to easy
The breakthrough one was annoying
Gives companies a reason to want to replace them 😅 it’s happened before with manufacturers
i was gonna ask my friend to log into his ps on my account to get it for me but he has ass internet and it took 10 hours to download then the beta ended
same but i do wonder if i will be able to use it on my pc when i unlocked it on my ps with same account..
Probably not
true
I mean, it’s cross progression so why not
i'll have all the skins except the ps5 one and the phantom edition/preorder ones
You see there is also a ea play exclusive
hope so
Just got the Ak5c and it’s trash
i'm probably gonna get the game a couple months late too because i'll wait for the first sale
You’re a year late bud
Oh boy I hope you don’t lose the battle pass and twitch rewards I hope you know there is a deadline to claim them
Tell me about it
apparently S tier but i do agree its very underwhelming. Think one of the things that make it s tier is the masterkey and its disabled
there is???? why
To get you to preorder game
are they really gonna make me buy the game on launch
¯_(ツ)_/¯
what's the deadline
buy on steam, install, claim, refund. you hasve 2 hours
I mean it’s good but it gets out gunned in CQC
I realized that my old PSN account that I was deleted was the only one that could ever be linked to my EA account. Was bummed about it but then thought to myself: "Why would I want a skin repping a company I hated enough to delete my account from?"
oh good idea
what if i also preordered then refunded to get the preorder rewards
preordered a day before the game comes out
You will be sued by EA
yeah which is where the masterkey makes it good. If you get the spray controll down its a laster at 100 meters
They will take your house
Preorder rewards are likely a dlc like the other games that have one
oh ok
Stop preordering
Don’t give them money before they show their value
Think it’s like 2 months iirc
They did with the beta
The beta version yes lol
telling people what to do with their money is kinda eh
are we sure i could get the stuff by getting it and refunding it
You’re actually odd if you preorder
it would still be there when i bought it again
they won't run out of digital copies
yo new challenges come out on monday, not today, right?
Why?
What’s the difference between preordering and buying it day 1 lmao
i think
At least I get preorder rewards and preload with preorders
they get a number that says you preordered it which means they know they can do whatever they want and you will still pay up
if i know i want to play it on day 1 then i certainly dont see why some online randos should bully me into not preordering xd what does it mean to you wether i get it now, a week before or the day before?
there's no reason not to. i still get the same exact refund policy on steam
i believe the same kind of thing exists on console now too
i just hope all modes are available in closed weapons on launch
instead of just conquest and breakthrough or something
Paying a game studio money for a product that isn’t finished or shipped yet, where you haven’t had the ability to see it fully. That is the problem, a company gotta live up to a standard of quality to earn the money
Not on PlayStation, at least
Refund button exist 🤔
well then playstation lacking lmao. cuz i know xbox has a refund system like steam
Only if where you buy it from allows that🤔
L playstation
also the preorder bonuses don't look that great, the only noteworthy bonus is the skin which is of a bf4 character but that doesn't matter if he doesn't have voice acting
i think the pre order skin looks pretty nice tbh
not as good as the 2042 pass skins, but still good
it does
i don't like the phantom skins at all lmao
Still. You’re pouring money into the studio before you even see it, a sign that they can continue doing it
but i wouldn't break my principles for one skin
again, if i want to play day 1 i dont see why i shouldnt buy the day before release and get rewards just because why not
well again, there's absolutely zero reason to not pre order on steam
yeah i'm fine with them being in game they aren't too extreme but i wouldn't play as them personally
again, i can refund and make them lose the amount im giving them
i'm probably gonna be using the gas mask skin from the pass the most
same
They do that for alot of big games
i also really like the desert skins that have been leaked
Is anyone outraged about the open weapons thing
i have the bf4 chinese c4 place voiceline ingrained in my head
Never seen that tbh
Not everyone will do that. Not everyone uses steam for preorder. So your “but I use this” point is useless argument
Just get EA play then you don’t have to buy game
well, everyone on pc is going to be using steam. and everyone on xbox also has the refund system. it's only playstation that can't refund it apparently
It’s a choice not to use steam so it’s a personal problem
You actively feed the machine that allows them not to deliver quality
wouldnt say outraged but im confused why they dont have the bawls to just take a stand and choose one or the other. Also if the wish is to get back to the BF roots then why even make open an option
You get preorder bonuses and if you don’t like it then you only spent $10
so a large amount of the people that are going to buy it will be able to refund it if it's broken
Hey guys, have any of you had problems with freelook in jets and managed to fix it?
Steam is a choice too
Either way even if you never play the game it’s literally 1/4th of a day of work so who cares ?
steam isn't a choice. the only place besides steam on pc is ea app which sucks
Exactly so but the game on a platform with a good refund policy if your that strapped for cash
I don’t want to pay $100 for the premium edition so I got EA play
so people deciding to buy from a source with bad support is supposed to affect how i preorder? lol
not everyone makes $300 a day lmao
dont you need ea play pro to get the game?
Yep that’s what I got
how much a month?
Phantom edition is 100$ but either way even minimum wage makes 100 a day
$16.99
yeah but minimum wage needs that money to pay for rent and bills and taxes
yeah i mean i have no problem financially to buy it, but a lot of people live paycheck to paycheck
doesnt take alot of months for it to add up to bf6 price. But im guessing you play many games from it
And they have 4 months to save up for the game so what’s your point ?
Yep o do
I am just mad that EA and dice didn’t learn from their mistakes
maybe they spent it all on crack
Personal problem then
Cater to the masses. this way they ensure both sides of the fight get something rather than nothing :/ its sad but logical
The point is, not everyone will use steam and not everyone will go through and try for a refund and just accept their loss. This gives them cash before even releasing the product just for it to possibly fail… how hard is that to comprehend?
are we 100% sure that i could just buy the game to claim my beta and twitch rewards then refund it though
70% sure
i guarantee you less than 0.1% of the people buying it on pc will use anything but steam
do we 100% know the window is 2 months
When it is released yes. And you can see others gameplay before playing it
because if it is i can just see if other people did the same
Just don’t preorder then but don’t tell other people what to do with their money 👍
I guess your right but now the playerbase is split
gameplay has been leaked for like a month
How hard is it to comprehend that you are not the boss of random people online and therefore shouldnt force your economocal views dont peoples throat. If people are scared of regretting their pre order then make an educated choice and pick a platform that allows for it. Or wait with buying it. But why should the get online bullied into not doing what they want to do lol
the game looks great. if i wanna pre order i pre order. i have many hours in labs and beta and i enjoyed it all.
speaking of, is labs on steam or a separate program?
idk how to play it
Separate
Have to get accepted
ah damn
i played it on both as far as i remember? Pretty sure it just appeared on my linked accounts
separate program how? I just had it in my account
i signed up months ago but never got accepted for anything
My labs is via ea app so no clue
I think you actually have the comprehensive capability of a brick. The point is not what you wanna spend your money on? Like no one tells you what to spend you money on? Are you delusional? It’s a moral and principle matter, pouring money in mass preorders give the studio less responsibility to actually have to deserve their buck.
It’s not 100% chance to get accepted more like 5%
No one gives a crap what you buy, but the matter of when you do matters
but how does it give them less responsibility if people can still return easily upon release?
i know i just wish i did
Could always go on 4chan or bilibili
Because this is not a perfect world… many many many people do not care for it and will go on with their lives
go for 100
i'm never going on 4chan
you are telling people not to preorder so as to not give corporations money before we see the final result of their work. Im telling you to be quiet and not tell people what to do with their money. If i wanna burn my money on a company i still believe in and believe in more after having played labs and beta then let me and the othe pre orders do that. (i havent even pre ordered yet i just find you views horrible)
funny enough I have 4 accounts that have it 😂 my main with phantom and 3 alt accounts with standard
shi lemme just slide my email into your dms real quick
wtf
I truly think you are rage bait lol. Otherwise you simply can’t understand lol. Its a simple matter of principles, you can go buy all you want afterwards
have you seen silk song crashed steam and psn stores xd too popular
yo can i get one for my friend
and xbox lmao
It was helpful in 2042 and bf1 I’d imagine it will be the same in bf6
i only bought hollow knight for now. gonna buy silksong after i finish it
hot take but your principles arent others principles, so like, say your part and move on, if they wanna listen they will, if they wanna preorder let them, its such a non issue
a simple matter of YOUR principles being "correct". You are not all saying and you definetly do not have the power to force your principles down other peoples throat lol
Sucks to be that guy but, the amount of times I've seen people pre-order stuff only to regret it is laughable.
Don't care if you throw 70 bucks to them, just don't complain when the game will fail or becomes mediocre, look at Wildgate for example...
he would hate that send it to me instead
I have like 4 games I need to preorder still so sadly I won’t be giving away any copies
clearly @stuck jolt does lmao
yknow what imma preorder on my credit card just to spite you
so both a bank and ea are getting money for no reason
?
have loads of extra cash to pre order games
what kind of bee is orange anyways
orange ones, duh
never seen one
Ah yea it goes into my gaming debit card 😅
they are all yellow
gaming debit card is crazy
God BF fans fascinate me. Complain and change nothing. 2042 all over again
ong
What do you mean ?
idk bf6 seems like a very different game to bf2042, there was changes due to the community, so your point is completely moot
how am i supposed to know if i want a game if i haven't played the full game
just don't buy anything
break into people's houses and check their steam if they have it steal the pc
• Level 34.4 by the end of Week 3
• Level 40.8 by the end of Week 4
• Level 47.2 by the end of Week 5
• Level 53.6 by the end of Week 6
When do challenges reset?
hack people's steam accounts and return bf6
I agree, dont complain about it when preordering burns your fingers. I got burn on BL3, it was so bad on release its insane. But i got burnt knowing it was a possibility so its fine
Hm interesting
did you have to delete your message from getting spammed or what xD
52 and halfway to 53, we almost there lads
do you have a job
You can stop weeklies will get you there
See you on the battlefield
I am only lvl 34
Yep, almost about to leave for work lol
gah damn bro
is this factoring in only weeklies or regular gameplay too
i don't even have a job rn and i'm only at 40
how are you 53 then lol
Only weeklies
i'm at 30
Level 60 on two accounts and 48 on the 3rd 😎
...
How
actually hillarious
Completed all challenges and did every ribbon every game
weird because i'm at 30 and i've done all weeklies except the bonus for week 1 and the incendiary one
i guess those two really matter
i just can't stand playing 2042 tbh so i'm only doing the challenges from now on
I mean last 2 weeks of the pass xp is like 3x
You need to grind beyond just weeklies these are the level targets to know you only have to do weeklies going forward
im just playing it for shits and giggles at the moment, trying to do stupid stuff like blowing up jets with tanks and wire guided missiles
ok
Weeklies mostly and then grinding both at once in conquest putting them in a helicopter so they get assist kills pretty helpful if your a good pilot and don’t die much
i've just been playing bf1
or annoying people trying to snipe with the rorsch
i think i'll be ok though right
If you reach 34.4 then you don’t need to grind anymore beyond doing the weeklies
Soon to be 40.8
I want too learn to fly helicopters tbh(ps5)
how many kills per game is optimal for the battlepass you guys think
i usually get 20 or so i'm not that good
Just do the afk method on the weekend
In bf6 helis are very good so defo start learning lmao
ok
it's more so spots, assists, and healing that gets you a ton of xp
i'm doing the afk rn
It’s easy to learn and bf6 controls are similar
oh yeah i heal too
I’m gaining 12 dots every 30 mins
from game or afk?
how tf
resident bloom hater

i går kl. 22.15
-Weeks 4-7 will now give 64 points instead of 55. This equates to 9 points every week, or 36 points total.
-This will reduce the amount of XP tiers you need. You will now gain (55x3)+(64x4) points from missions instead of (55x7), which means you need to farm 3.6 less tiers from XP as you will now get 421 instead of 385 XP points. This means you need to farm 17.9 XP tiers, which is considerably less than the earlier 21.5. You will need to farm around ~500k XP less. Keep in mind you will need to farm an extra tier for every bonus weekly you miss.
So, to be done with XP at each week:
W3: 34.4
W4: 40.8
W5: 47.2
W6: 53.6
W7: You need to be done this week. Pass disappears on Oct 7.
Afk
i'm at 35k per dot
i'm gaining like 3 every 30 minutes
Yeah everyone just takes them so quick
copypasta gang
how are you doing that
id say to just play, doesnt matter about kills, play medic and resupply and res teammates, capture points, spot people, get as many assists as you can and do the weeklies
Level ?
By afk or just playing?
Mb didn’t see the message
Because you are beyond the target level
29
For week 3 it goes to 49k dot
No week doesn’t matter
wdym week 3 lol
whaaaaat? i'm 30 and i only get a few pips while afking
Your grinding beyond what is needed for exp levels
It does because of weeklies
yeah playing the game for xp doesn't even really do anything for me anymore. only get 1-2 dots per 30 minute game
No weeklies don’t effect exp requirement
So what is best for dots? Conquest or breakthrough,
Exactly.. so the xp cap would go down over time with the more weeklies you did
No
breakthrough. use casper or the latina chick and get spot assists/disruption assists
Weeklies don’t increase the xp needed per dot
To complete pass it’s a set exp amount then the rest is gained from weeklies
at each chokepoint
oh i've been playing conquest only
No shit that is what I just said
you guys are saying the same thing
same. 39 though so i think im good. unless they screw us again like last week and drop the points.
that was an accident. they fixed it
I don’t think your registering what I’m saying 49k at max level at week 3
Paik?
and they're increasing it from now on
You only need to grind to level 34.4 anything extra you are wasting time
riiiiiight. i still havent gotten the points back.
idek her name. the one with the disruption thing
the points are going up to 6.4 tiers per level and we get 3x xp
blasco
Ohhh blasco
Because you are going beyond what is needed to get max rank
Yes that was what I was saying was the max xp per dot for week 3 …
You only need to get to level 34.4 then you get the rest from weeklies and you will be at level 60 @stuck jolt
whenever i use blasco on iwo jima breakthrough, i get like 75k xp on double weekends
I’m already 60 on two accounts 🤦♂️
you got too much time on your hands dawg
blasco seems to be the most efficient xp farmer yeah
Agreed
On vacation 😎
What is up with all these afk xp farm servers in portal? How do these even work? Isn't this cheating?
Tbh mine is in 2 weeks and I plan to relax from work tbh
DICE doesn't care
i'd rather work than play bf2042
if these afk servers weren't a thing i'd have uninstalled this game already lol
So you just join and stand still? Doesn't sound fun..
Hm
That’s not the attitude solider, how do you expect to capture E if you’re at work?
How do you even do this afk portal stuff?
it's an afk farm... that's the point lmao
Hello guys
you leave it on while you're not at your pc
You don’t sit there and watch it you go and do other things
Like right now watching Buccaneers game
well you can jump and shoot into the air as well if you want lol
But it says moderate xp, so doesn't it cap it?
i don't miss a headshot
@stuck jolt why do you need 3 accounts at 60?
i'm at a point in the pass where those afk servers don't even get me one dot per 30 min
not worth the power consumption, even if i turn my settings down and lock at 15 fps lmao
4 account, for the 4 copies of bf6 I bought for my self
caps as 1k per minute (2k with double xp ofc) so 120k per hour + bonuses and such
pc still uses 100 watts
i'm at 49 mostly thanks to afk
Sometimes I will do breakthrough AI too farm my weapons and xp
Yeah your good to just do weeklies and you wil be at 60
why you need 4 copies for yourself? respect the grind haha
yeah
Kaleidoscope might be the worst map in bf 2042 holy crap
someone really liked this game that much?
So he can cheat
Would be easier to show them to explain 🤣
please do
Nah I do that for all battle field games I play
either that or smurfing in a casual game ig lmao
Had a dream where I was parachuting then saw the enemy so I shot him. He didnt die, he looked at me, and then him and other enemies were celebrating and then shot me, and thats when I woke up. That was so weird (and funny)
just like splashing extra money on games? lol
doesnt make alot of sense
Nah there is a reason
Well he has backup accounts in case they get banned
Seems so
I’ll record a video
i sent dm
bro's trying to force us to pre order by buying up all the digital copies lmao
gonna sell out
Is that even possible?
no lmao
Diabolical tactics
It’s a digital item
average bf2042 experience i guess? at least for me i'm lucky if i get any kills before people just tank it and kill me lol
I am pre ordering BF6 Tuesday
I am slow and drained from work ngl
don't tell @waxen dew

Nah I do that for most multiplayer PvP games
Lmaoo lowkey might drop $100
dirty dirty corpo lovers
SHAME SHAME SHAME
nah i just bought the standard edition i don't like the phantom skins
ong
gonna do the same but probably just a few days before release
also some skins are not worth $30 lmao
i'm just imagining orangebee with a shrine to EA with all the copies of BF games there
no but you do get the pass included so thats worth something i suppose
better get it before it sells out
i wonder how much the skins will cost, $20 like cod or something more reasonable
the pass will likely be like $10-15 so if i wanna get that, i'll see what's in it first and then buy it separately
getting fomo already
true
also you can buy the phantom edition at any point so
Has free 25 level skip and a few other things
You know people who preorder don't preorder because they're worried about it selling out? People preorder to get the bonuses
holy he keeps going xddd
i want to get it on sale because i know i'm gonna buy skins so i don't wanna give them $70 because they will get it anyways
idc about level skip
Anyways back to grinding on BF2042.. brb
r/woosh
Preload is nice aswell
feel bad for you
Who cares if ppl preorder lmao
maybe the skins will be like that mural for Dune Awakening, where you have to spend like $35 on some chai latte and wait 2 months for it to arrive from the us for the code in the packet
@waxen dew does
Also preorder looks cool 
Yeah exactly lmao. Millions of people have preordered lol
isn't it 600k on pc alone or is that in total
That was just steam
Hop off my d
damn
not until you preorder the game
Most battle field players are on pc anyway
As u should tbh
too late, the crowd's all hoped on it
Yeah 😆 can say im one of them

i just wish bf1 was crossplay. i really wanna play w my brother but he's on xbox
Same I got the phantom edition I want the bonuses lol
Same 
Steam needs a custom reward just like Sony
Same 🤣 I enjoyed the betas, no reason for me to wait
will we be able to buy the phantom edition later like in 2042 or premium in older games
bazillionaires in chat support evil corpo raaaaaaaaaaah. im gonna say something i cant take back soon.....
sony only got one cuz they helped them with advertisement or something
yes
cool
And still sold less copies then steam 🤔
Wait it isnt?
nope
Its EA at the end of the day. My hopes are low but ill get my moneies worth
Facts
Queued iwa breakthrough 7 times in a row to a you lose screen lets see if it can be 8
Hardware companies having competition is good for the consumer but also bad if you think about it 
soon xbox will have steam so there will basically be no more competition. playstation is gonna become obsolete
if they don't go along with it
why does bf2042 level up so fast compared to other games
Knowing Sony, they're oblivious. This sucks tho, cos i LOVE their controllers man
i got to level 50 in like 40 hours compared to in other bfs it's average like level 25 in 40 hours or so
Yea doubt it tbh ps5 out sold Xbox by nearly 3x
i have a ps5 which i dont even use because i refuse to pay monthly to get online access lol
funny because ps5 has no games
Thats so stupid ngl
yeah but it will become a lot closer if nothing else. there will always be braindead 2k players to play on playstation
very much not ideal
Because most of the games came out on ps4 and ps5 at the same time but either way doesn’t change what I said
pretty sure the top 2 games sold on playstation are both the same nba 2k game. the $100 version and the $150 version...
so dumb
Maybe maybe not the Xbox console is also more expensive
Is anyone else lagging? My ping is fine but inputs are delayed and there's some rubberbanding
Sometimes I really wanna get a PS5 so I can play GTA 6 early... But is it worth it? I dont think so 🤣
check net code
Well it’s a rog ally with a Xbox logo slapped on
so not even really a console
i'm excited for ghost of yotei but i can wait until it comes to pc
Thinking Xbox consoles will allow for a full steam integration is wild lol. How to makes the console even less profitable
i'll never buy a console lmao
it would be cool if the rog ally xbox had a disc drive....
i won't buy it obviously because in 2025 the only console you need is an xbox one
Same here ngl...
The only reason consoles still have their own stores is cause they force a percentage from the distributors
nah it'll make it more profitable because it'll attract people that don't want to or can't pay for a pc but want steam
all the games on the xbox series x are also on steam so the only console i need is an xbox one for games that i can't play on steam
like call of duty
You do know that digital games are what makes a Xbox profitable right? lol
They lose their 30% cut from every game sale and the monthly pass 🤔
They will not allow 3rd party providers on the consoles
why would they lose anything from the monthly pass
You don’t need to pay for it anymore if you’re using steam ..?
people that don't want to buy games will still buy gamepass
having steam will change nothing about that
So why would they want to buy a console with steam 😭
because steam has a lot of games that aren't currently on console
mostly indie games
gives console users access to both
it's not like steam would take over everything
Do you honestly think that will happen?
How?
Microsoft will give away their money tree?
I have to use thermal sights to see enemies in the game. I also understand others are doing the same. My question is how are other people able to get on target quickly with normal sights. I'd love to use my iron sights but it's just my eyes can't pick up targets well.
XBOX console are sold at a loss with a cheap price, so you are forced to pay XBOX monopoly prices. No steam is happening. End of dream.
Sounds like a scenario where the loud minority is yelling that Xbox it’s gonna win when in reality the majority will still buy PlayStation 😗
Funny enough the whole rumor started from a misunderstanding 😂
Make sure you are "marking" them. Also try to change the colors of your Team, Enemies and reticle..
I will try this, thank you sir.
they've already added integration with steam on the pc xbox app, and they've been testing integrating steam on xbox consoles for a while. nothing is completely confirmed, but i wouldn't be surprised. they're trying to be the only console someone needs
They are trying to replace gog galaxy
i gotta take a shit brb
The one place where you see all your games, leading you to purchase more games from Xbox since your going to be there anyway
For marking them I'd have to find/see them first
Hey if it sucks theres always borderlands
XBOX consoles would never get steam lol. Unless Valve decides they wanna get less of the cut per product
Not really, you can "scan" with the L1(PS)
I’m on ps5 too and game pass sounds way better than just PlayStation plus. £50 a month just to play online
PS Plus is shit.
cant i complete the bonus challenges when the week is done?
I don’t see why they wouldn’t. They’re reaching a new set of buyers, a big one. They would still make more than they do off console players than now even if they take a cut
bruh, this deal damage to vehciels is buggy sometimes it dosent count
Because then XBOX would make less money
They would lose 30% cut on every single sale of a game
It’s not a win for anyone if you have to split profits
30% of 5 million sales at $70 each is $105 million for example
Watch PlayStation get double exp
The mobile xbox rog has steam and more. Id nt be surprised the next gen of consol have it
For bf6?
Where are you getting the 30% cut from
Yeah they had it for beta
It’s windows
Xbox is microsoft aswell
Did no other console have that bruh?
Also it’s just a glorified rog ally with a xbox logo
Yeah only PlayStation they also go exclusive skin
I’d have expected everyone to be equal tbf
They could take literally 5% of all the games sold on console steam and still make a profit because 5% is more than zero. They’re not currently making any money off console players
will the 2042 bf6 skins be rare
Then Xbox would make less?
No
Down the line probably
They make 30% from each console sale currently what do you mean ..?
They tend to not rerelease skins
Console game sale I meant
And XBOX can artificially inflate prices, where steam can be dirt cheap
Not viable
They would have to take a 5%, for example, cut to bring a lot of new players that would still be buying more games
Are you talking about Xbox or steam? Steam doesn’t make any money from games sold on console. I was talking about steam
Going from 30% to 5%😂
So 5% of 10 million sales at $70 each is $35 million lmao
Is steam a microsoft compagnie?
No. Independently private ownership by Valve
Xbox
You’re not understanding what I’m saying. If Xbox currently makes 30% on each game sold, and steam came in and took 5%, Xbox would still be left with 25%. But that being so many new players and result in more games being bought
So even tho they have to take a cut, both would profit
Steam would be making 5% compared to zero. Xbox would be making less per game, but more games would be sold
No they would not😂 Xbox prices are way higher on average than steam prices. So the math is, cheaper prices and less percentage cut. The influx of new console owners would be too small of a margin
Idk what they’re actually working on, obviously, but that’s just one way it could be profitable for both
Xbox would lose money since the base price of many games on steam are cheaper
Xbox and steam prices are the same. Except for indie games. Steam just has a lot of sales. But like you said, it doesn’t have to be the exact pc integration of steam.
Any new triple A games are the same price on both
I'm on PC and would I be correct in saying it's Q key for me
The only games that have lower base prices on steam are ones that aren’t currently sold on xbox. So they wouldn’t be losing money because they’re games that weren’t even there to start with.
Also steam is literally making their own console aswell so how would that work ?
Steam makes a handheld not an actual powerful console
Very different market
Yes they are making a console
Please don’t go into the financial sector
Ok well I didn’t know that
Tell me how I’m wrong lol
I did many times already. Scroll up
What triple a game on steam has a lower base prices than that of the same game on Xbox
The majority of the games on steam, yes have lower base prices, but they don’t exist on xbox. So how would Microsoft lose money by selling games for a lower price that don’t even currently exist on their console
That’s still a net sale whether it’s for a lower price or not
For example as I could find quickly RDR2
Rdr2 base price on steam is $60
Sale price is not base price
So if you’re basing it on sale prices, you’re talking about something different
Well if rdr2 is currently less than $60 on steam, that’s because it’s on sale
Well that might be a regional thing
Does anyone want to link up im a jet pilot and need a wing man or a CAT operator
As far as I’m aware, rdr2 is $60 on Xbox here as well
I don’t have one to check
But at least in the US, no new triple A games are priced differently on steam and Xbox
I guess publishers would be the one taking a hit in your version I guess 🤔
No. Xbox would be taking the hit most likely, but would make up for it in an increase in player base and purchases
That’s what I’m getting at, anyway
Just wanted to stop by and say again how bad this game is lol
Steam lowers the cut to 20% after a certain number of sales
What is your presumption of percentage increase?
In players? And where would they come from
Also, indie game publishers/devs that are only on steam would be reaching a larger audience too
They first have to buy the console, which since it’s been 5 years still hasn’t proved attractive
Idk. A lot would come over from PlayStation I would think
Then why would PlayStation not do that? They are obviously the obvious best partner for steam then
They have the obvious objective numbers in players
Would be incentivized to upload on epic games and Xbox individually instead
How lol. Xbox has been doing stuff with steam on pc for years. PlayStation still wants to hold on to their exclusives
im interested in steam os if that ever comes out, it legit feels like windows has only gotten slower and slower over the yrs
Steam has nearly all PlayStation exclusives what do you mean 🤔
PS has the numbers that Xbox doesn’t have. And the PlayStation consoles are also sold at a profit
Yeah, after two years
For people to doubt dip
Also it’s closer to 1 year now
That’s exactly why Xbox would do it, to get more players
There is nothing XBOX can offer stems PS can’t do better
raaaaaaaaaaaah
if you get shadps4 emulator then you have all the ps exclusives (or atleast the one that matters xd)
But why would steam choose Xbox???
Choose the less profitable partner
microsoft
I can only think of 3 games that aren’t on steam that are on that that “might” be worth it
Cuz Sony is notoriously hard to work with for one
Money is money
maircrowsawft
some developers have refused to make a Xbox port for the longest time because of Xbox forcing them to make it run on 2 consoles
ye i personally only cared about bb, played that on a friends ps4 at the time, playing it now on emu
macrsfowt
Well if they actually do this, it’ll be on the next generation, so I doubt they would make that same mistake again lol
Most people are waiting for death stranding 2 and ghost of yotei
Also, if they price their next generation well, Xbox will be a lot more attractive than ps
No😂
macrsfst
XBOX price will never help them
Just because you’re a diehard ps fanboy doesn’t mean everyone is lanlely
Assuming even if 50% buy it within the first 2 years it they would still have to port to the older generations they want the majority of players to be able to buy it
Most is, objectively
Sorry not sorry
makrsft
how long it take ds and ghosts to make it to console? was it 2 yrs like some1 mentioned before?
Most likely 1-2 years
Same for gta
Death stranding was 6 month
GTA is 6 months, also death stranding isn’t a PlayStation exclusive by force since it’s not even a 1st party game
If they don’t delay it for another year 💀
Released in Nov for ps4 and July for pc
PS5 sales February 2025: 1,1 million, XBOX SERIS X|S: 261k
lol, steam will not change that
Maybe not
But who knows
Most people stick with ps for nostalgia not because it’s the smart thing to do
For console it’s smartest decision
It has the better exclusives
and the PS5 console also has a profit margin of around 10%
Compared to Xbox’s near loss per console
Better branding too. Its the luxury of the console world.
Lmao
If you have a pc and ps5 there is literally no reason for a Xbox even if all the Xbox games were exclusive I have 0 interest in any of them
Yeah that’s the other thing
Most people that are buying a console do not have a pc
I have pc and ps5
If you have a pc there’s really no reason to buy either console
Got ghost preordered
PlayStation exclusives
I want to play exclusives day 1
Which like you said. Always end up pc now
How would I copy this payload mode for when it goes off mode of the week?
Well if you wanna play GTA 6 and don’t want to wait 1-2 years. You need a console
I and most people don’t want to wait 1-2 years to play goty games
Well if you wanna pay $500 to play exclusives early that’s up to you
But most people don’t
$500 is nothing
Most of players are already stingy about paying full price for a game lol
See this is just an ignorant take
$500 where are you getting such cheap consoles
Na it’s being rich take
Oh no you’d be very surprised how many people have both
It’s 500$ over 6 years since the console came out he is right
People still say it’s too much☠️
5 years of saving and can’t even afford $650
Cheapest price here
Fellas I appreciate the debate but I gtg eat
Bon appetit
Imagine being that poor lol
That’s like homeless level
Even below
Students here makes more than that a month just studying
Atleast in the long run they’ll have good performance but I’m glad that I’ll just get to play
People who just sit on their ass spawn camping are such scum of this game lmao
Especially the snipers that keep anyone from destroying the vehicles camping
You know they got professional slapping competition wonder if they have professional farting competitions
Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised
PC players will get a worse experience in the long run
Having to hope your system is capable and the cheaters of online and other possible troubles
Where as you can simply buy a console and have the devs cater to your exact specifications
More skill lowkey
?
PC players are anatomically at an advantage
A whole arm vs two joints
i'm so close to t1'ing the brawler but the engineer spam right now is insane
It’s crossplay bro
That will also be crossplay
every person and their dog are running engineer with rocket launchers
Why do you think GTA 5 is not cross play yet?
vehicle play right now is completely impossible
You’ve noticed too
literally no point to suppressors in this shit game
Because it would be very hard to implement on current game. That’s why they are making new gta online
Oh my sweet summer child
They would be dumb to not have cross play
Battlefield handle k&m on xbox, well i think i still need to try
The reason it’s not console cross play is to make you invest money it’s shark cards. Nothing else
No technical challenges for the biggest funded games of all time lol
There is lot of contracts that have to be signed and whole online infrastructure are up
I am not talking about aim assist, that obviously exists because it’s objectively harder lol
And why would you do that on a game that is going to be obsolete
Aim assist is ofc easy
It do takes time tbh, im still working to get my aim better here xd. But well i played fps like 9years ago and been on mmo so its muscle memory to rework
any open partychats for bf2042 any mode?
You actually play that game
Is anyone having trouble when using lis’s abilities it just clips my camera into the ground and I can’t control the missile.
This game is somehow still riddled with bugs
rockets and mines everywhere
i just want to t1 my brawler for christ's sake
yes it is ive had my drone go trough a wal and my guy just died and it said i fell when i was on a flat map
instead i'm sitting in the deploy screen, playing with myself while waiting for a brawler to respawn
playing with ur self
People should get a penalty for asset wasting
bro context plz SirLankselot
IMO they should also give pc players aim assist
They do you can also get walls
true cause its already hard enough haveing console players peak shoot and always hit casue aim assist
They already have hacks for that
Turn off cross play then
how?
Settings
Settings
alr thanks
man fuck this game
Most of the players are PC anyway
it's just rocket spam all fuckin day
Welcome to bf my friend
these engineers can get fucked
i went into a match of 128 and my entire team was eng and spqming jav
why are you always complaining
because i have nothing else to do and my life fucking blows
I think you’re dope
Sounds like a skill issue
funniest shit i ever heard in my life ngl
here's some reddit gold, good sir
tisum noises
yes i am autistic
why do half the maps in the game not include new vehicles
i get the infantry maps but why can't i use a brawler on exposure
dont worrie we all are ... just ur a bit more
the game keeps putting me into maps where it won't let me use the brawler
dice why are you so fuckin allergic to a server browser
why is it so taboo now
Just afk fsrm and move onto bf6
did a server browser kill your parents
😐
afk farming doesn't t1 my brawler
Why would you t1 anything in this game
Anybody know the JTF2 discord?
@midnight raven
ok, this is driving me banana's why does this game make my gpu fan run at full blast in the menu? I have fan monitoring that is supposed to limit it because it doesnt need to be running that fast but this game some how bypasses it
everything is below 60
yet i got a jet engine running in my computer
new weeklies out yet?
No
I'm going for 25 extractions and it's awful lol
I feel you man. I'm tryna get the damn free pass done lol
Hey chat. Whats your opinion on pisspools and snails ? 
@junior mesa you were asking earlier, my XP per point at 47.2 is 32500
this is with the extra 9 farmed to make up this week's shortfall
is the camrea breaking on vehicles in solo matches known or ...
So it takes 30 min to an hour for 1 dot roughly. Crazy.
I was making 150k xp every 90 minutes doing ammo farm. I’m at tier 41 shit takes forever.
What tier do I have to be at to no longer grind xp. I’m at 35.6 rn
-Weeks 4-7 will now give 64 points instead of 55. This equates to 9 points every week, or 36 points total.
-This will reduce the amount of XP tiers you need. You will now gain (55x3)+(64x4) points from missions instead of (55x7), which means you need to farm 3.6 less tiers from XP as you will now get 421 instead of 385 XP points. This means you need to farm 17.9 XP tiers, which is considerably less than the earlier 21.5. You will need to farm around ~500k XP less. Keep in mind you will need to farm an extra tier for every bonus weekly you miss.
So, to be done with XP at each week:
W3: 34.4
W4: 40.8
W5: 47.2
W6: 53.6
W7: You need to be done this week. Pass disappears on Oct 7.
Do you have that saved to your clipboard
im at tier 36.4
What time does week 4 start?
yeah
Ladies and gentlemen, do you know when the First Match of the Day resets to maximize experience?
I just finished the phantom program but does anyone have any clue how to do the other missions for the engineer and recon phantom skins?
how do you get the phatom skins for all the classes
Best to just google it
I attempted the 300 tickets on a point one but no luck
This is crazy. I have tried everything to fix my EAAntiCheat issues. I played BF2042 and BF6 Beta for hours on end, like 6-8 binge playing, fine. I had to reinstall Windows, all new drivers, BIOS update (F16 for microcode), etc.
Now I can't play for more than 1-60 minutes before the game just closes out silently, no error pop up, and I look in Event Viewer and it shows an access violation for EAAntiCheat or that EAAntiCheat just decided to crash.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, uninstalling EAAntiCheat and reinstalling it, repairing it, memtest, and just about everything you can think of. I've been using three LLM's and every Reddit and EA forum post I can find. What a nightmare.
13900K, 32GB DDR5, 3080, Samsung 9100 Pro
The one I have no clue is this one
||```THE NORTHERN OPERATION DEMANDS CLAIM TWENTY SOULS SHROUDED IN SMOKE AND REVEALED BY YOUR KEEN EYE
THE SOUTHERN OPERATION DEMANDS YOU REVEAL THIRTY SOULS AND CLAIM FIFTEEN OF THEIR HEADS FROM AN EAGLE'S DISTANCE.
STAY INVISIBLE INSIDE THE PORT UNTIL YOU HAVE CLAIMED FIFTEEN SOULS, THREE OF WHICH MUST BE WITH YOUR BARE HANDS.```||
in 1 hour 41 minutes
why does it keep putting only half my party into matches
Right so am i the only one that thinks 2042 has shit spawn locations?
thank you
The first one would be enemies spotted by you and killed by you in smoke.
The second would be marking enemies killing the number with basically a sniper given the distance(however long it would be).
The third I imagine would require spot protection with Blasco or maybe an EMP+kill. Bare hands being I guess just melee.
Just from how I am reading it, assuming this is a 2042 thing.
Yeah. Just trying to figure out what map and where to be on said map
Oh, map wise. Kind of sounds like the flooded map that I cannot think of the name of, unless port means spaceport.
I distinctly remember a map that had an actual water port with train tracks halfway through the map with large warehouses at the port but i cannot find it
got support and assault phantom skins and got the prototype legit but still figuring out engi and recon
We need help in iwo jima
We are defending the beach
Broken arrow i repeat BROKEN ARROW
We are getting kill in here we need air suport
We will gona stay here defending at all cost
Iwo jima is back?
When's next week missions?
If u miss out on last week's mission, can u complete them this week?
u can complete all missions anytime except for the bonus one i tihnk
that one does expire in each week
Morning y'all
Does anyone know what time double xp ends?
I cannot believe after all this time, BF 2042 still has this kind of moments, god damn it
https://medal.tv/games/battlefield-2042/clips/l3J74iqItVBlMozJJ
I mean usually midnight or early morning
BF6 beta start and end times were 4am for me so I assume it ends then
do we know if boins transfer to BF6
like 7 hours from now iirc
8AM est I think
@raw ice Thanks. Im est too
Anyone having issues connecting to game on xbox?
Im still in game so im gd portal server
Keep getting connection timeout error. No issues with internet or other games
Restart game or console make sure for any updates idk
Tried that. Working on unlink and relinking account
See if it makes a difference
Nope. Reset internet. Xbox. Cache. Nothing working
Man does an AT mine not count as an explosive for the mission
Anyone else having issues over the past few hours with AFK servers not working properly? Having trouble joining them and it seems to crash my game quite a bit now. Left it on last night for like 6 hours and it was fine
I cant even get into the game.
Nothing but connection timeout errors
Played fine yesterday
Got the game to run for 2 horus and 20 minutes this time bfore I crashed after cancelling matchmaking (a common trigger of crashing for me with my current issue). If anyone knows anything, please god. I have done everything under the sun, researched, used 3 AI to try to troubleshoot
Its dumb. Some people have limited time to play and to progress the battlepass for the BF6 content. Connection issues cost time for that
I fell off playing this, I don't think I can finish the pass by October lol
Actually just made it in by clearing the xbox mac address network settings and rebooting
It’s just a glitch with swaths of people joining them
What's the best mode to grind exp for BP?
I enjoy playing Iwo Jima, but I think 24/7 redacted on portal would do you better for just kills alone
when drops new challenges?
Every Monday
well it is Monday and still nothing
What country are you in
Czech, thats in Europe
I think its every Monday for Americans, so give it a couple more hours
Ok thx
Welcome 🫡
The explosive multikill if recollection serves? The AT Mine does count, I got both mine from it. 3+ kills is a multi.
Ah makes sense thought it would be 2+. Ended up doing it with a tank anyway
Ugh...so I unlinked my ea account from old email address and moved it to another email address and lost my game progress. Says i cant unlink for 6 months now...
Gotcha. Makes sense you would think it, most do since multikill just means "multiple kills," which two would be.
Lost game progress from an email switch on the same account? EA Support should be able to recover that, that does not make sense.
I put a ticket in. Trying to resync save data on console see if it helps
Universe telling me i dont need the bf6 content lol.
too many campers on the attackers side for the rush of ages, like its just so pathetic, i think dice needs to have mandatory tutorials play every single time someone selects a mode
I honestly doubt a tutorial would change things all too much. May help a few genuinely lost players, but it is pretty clear in Rush that there is an objective you need to get to, and you are instructed to arm said objective.
thought on slug shotgun? is it good?
it says ingame on the top right corner
its sluggish
People are always too focused on survival and not on victory, a K/D mindset.
i love being cannon fodder 🗣️
are the week 4 challenges out?
2 is a Double
3 is Multi
yeah 3 and more than 3 is multi
When i hit my xp cap can i still play in a server?
And earn xp?
I was the one that had corrected them multi was 3, yes.
I am not really sure what your question is. What do you mean XP cap?
He may mean the bonus xp after match each day
game is fun to play but omg man so many phantom bullet moments, such a joke of a net code
PHANTOM FORCES MENTIONED!!
Is there no shooting range in 2042?
Does anyone know what time weekly mission reset??
Gotta load up a portal server that's set up with a shooting range
In 4-5hrs
ahhh, thankyouu
nope
Ah that sucks!
New weeklies live?
So ea cant do a thing. So everyone be warned. There is no way to recover your lost progress if you unlink an xbox or playstation account from your ea account without waiting 6 months. Support just told me they have no way to unlink their own customers accounts or a way to remove the 6 month lockout.
What a joke.
Challenges reset today or tomorrow??
Thankyouuuuu 🤝🏻🤝🏻
you're welcome gang 🤝 🤝
squad for what
guys I'm at 39.2 BP. Am I good from now on just doing weeklies?
seemes like someone is tired of this game like me
Should be yes
not really. just dont have much time playing it + borderlands 4 coming out soon
thx dude
No prob
when new weekly missions will be available in europe?
4hrs
😮
Where did this information come from?
From my brain
lf repair guy to lis rocket and repair and c4 jump on tanks for my heli, dm
servers are so laggy
what's the payment?
unplayable
tank gets hit
me, an engineer, runs to try repair
tank driver drives away and gets hit a few more times
me running to try and catch up with this 1500 horsepower machine
tank driver gets blown up
tank driver complains about lack of engineers repairing...
this hasnt changed since BC2 I see
that makes me so angry, but tbf if there's a lot going on you might not notice an engineer behind you
its same shit different game
i usually just prone on top of the tank lmfao
thats fair it can get overwhelming with the explosions, itd just be nice if there was some sort of indication for it
