battlefield-2042

[lofty relic]

Haha opposite for me actually! Not a fan of BR at all. I don't like the whole "oh I died now I have to leave and rejoin another game" and trust me, I die a lot

[rocky apex]

Because just doubling ticket count won't be enough to keep same game length.

[livid swift]

I don't wanna spam any mods so I'll ask it here: does anyone know if we can apply for the technical playtest? OR will it be based on who is veteran rng

[still vault]

Ticket count is probably one of the things that are good to test and easy to change after an open beta 🙂

[green breach]

I heard the next battlfield will be called BF 1342

[arctic grove]

bruh

[rocky apex]

I've found BR to be my preferred game mode as it tightly packs play skill (aiming, shooting etc) with game skill (map positioning etc). Normal 5v5 games like CSGO and Valorant are boring imo.

[kind thicket]

probably only youtubers and existing gamers with relationships with dice

[lofty relic]

My guess is veteran rng, similar to how closed alphas have worked. And since NDA is involved they might be extra picky

[still vault]

Gold edition gang 👇👇👇

[hybrid steppe]

Only if you have a popular YouTube/Twitch channel or you work at DICE/EA, or you work at a QA company, other than that zero chance.

[lofty relic]

I definitely understand what you mean, probably makes sense for more serious players. I'm just a casual sandbox player pretty much, so Conquest is my go-to in BF

[green breach]

I got RendeZook Edition

[arctic grove]

If I buy Battlefield 2042 with Steam will I be able to launch it straight from Origin or do I need to launch it with Steam?

[rocky apex]

I'm a die hard FPS player and ever since PUBG I've become pretty good at FPS games if I do say so myself. I love BR.

[lofty relic]

praying that all GCs will get to be in the technical playtest

[kind thicket]

pls no br

dice la pls no br

[hybrid steppe]

Right now if you launch for example BF4 from steam, it just opens Origin/EA launcher I think.

So probably similar

[rocky apex]

Held top 50 on PUBG EU leaderboards for a while and had most wins on Warzone until I stopped sweating post launch.

[livid swift]

Thank you. So as I expected, only a select few most probably, so it doesn't get leaked to the public. 👍

[green breach]

BR is happening unfortunately. Just not at launch. I mean Ever wonder why there hasn't been a new need for speed game?

[lofty relic]

Yeah I can see how coming from PUBG will impact how you feel about the mode ofc, especially if you're good at it

[arctic grove]

Alright sweet, gonna buy it from Steam. I'm pumped! Thanks! 😄

[rocky apex]

There's no drug stronger than PUBG in it's prime

[lofty relic]

I think Hazard Zone is the closest BF2042 will come to BR in a long time, even if they've clearly stated "it's not BR"

[lofty relic]

Haha I remember those days, even if I never played

[lavish shadow]

firestorm has left the chat

[rocky apex]

I missed today's briefing and haven't caught up yet, did they share more information on Hazard Zone?

[hybrid steppe]

I'm still putting my money on Hazard Zone being something similar to Tarkov or Division's Dark Zone.

[grand kelp]

Nope

[rocky apex]

[kind thicket]

2018 pubg was the happiest ive been in a long time

[lavish shadow]

just vague details, but they said its a new experience, focuses a lot on teamplay and something that will be a big surprise to fans

[stiff pollen]

Tech test/closed alpha is always you tubers, streamers, influencers and veterans RNG

[lofty relic]

Pretty much just a screenshot saying "It's not BR, it's high-stakes squad-based gameplay"

[rocky apex]

PUBG truly got me into FPS and BRs. Also really started using Discord and was part of some amazing communities at the time.

[rocky apex]

[lofty relic]

But that doesn't necessarily mean it won't appeal to BR players, I think

[stiff pollen]

“It’s not BR, it’s division heartlands but FPS”

It will

[rocky apex]

I want to rewind to 2017 post PUBG launch

[green breach]

That melee BR game coming out not gonna do too well since it's not free.

[rocky apex]

Do we have any information on hazard zone or is it all speculation at this point?

[green breach]

Speculation

[rocky apex]

The https://www.battlefield.com website didn't really give us anything

[grand kelp]

No new info on Hazard Zone

[lofty relic]

Free to play games attract a lot of cheaters too, at least now with BF2042 costing 70 bucks there might be less cheaters, I'm speculating

[rocky apex]

Cheaters will always be a problem, no matter if the game is free or paid.

[green breach]

If I had to hazard a guess a crazy storm varient game mode.

[rocky apex]

All paying does is raise the bar to enter. But with fishy websites selling game keys for a pennies off of stolen creditcards that bar isn't even that high.

[lofty relic]

Of course, but I feel like it's easier for cheaters to access free games

[green breach]

Well fortnite is free and they don't have a cheater problem.

[lofty relic]

Here's EA's summary of the briefing today btw, with all the details we've been given so far:
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-Announcements/Battlefield-Briefing-Welcome-to-2042/td-p/10415599

[arctic grove]

Hi noobs

[lavish shadow]

ngl the lore to this entire game is a lil unpleasing to me - not like i cared about lore but like ehhhhh idk i dont get it

i understand no campaign so its hard for them to make out a backstory

but the website's details were pretty weird

[lofty relic]

Also true, if they have a good anti-cheat it won't be as bad on PC

[green breach]

What's not to get. It's realistic. Climate change caused EU to collapse as well as other countries

[stiff pollen]

They’re doing apex style lore where it expands each season

[arctic grove]

I mean Epic Games sued a cheat seller

[grand kelp]

Blackout in 2040

[stiff pollen]

Expect cinematics on specialists and the like

[arctic grove]

Just shoot. Die. Respawn

[stiff pollen]

SPAWN DIE SPAWN DIE SPAWN DIE

[lavish shadow]

not what to get, just what to be pleased about
but thats a personal opinion again
i wouildve pre-ordered this game no matter what lol

[stiff pollen]

[rocky apex]

I like Apex's story telling style. Hope they can drive the story through more than just the characters in Battlefield. As they're not that unique as in Apex I'm afraid they'll be less memorable.

[stiff pollen]

I wouldn’t preorder unless I was positive on the gameplay

You can’t sell me on characters in a battlefield game. Apex each one is larger than life and are generally like able

[arctic grove]

I pre-ordered the day the trailer was released

[grand kelp]

Same

[green breach]

Steam does refunds so why not preorder

[lofty relic]

I think they could've gone with nameless characters too and it would've had the same impact on the story. But it might've been tough naming all the subclasses

[lavish shadow]

Naice!

[tall brook]

Bro I am so hyped.

[stiff pollen]

I can’t be connected to generic Canadian who dice tells me is important

[rocky apex]

Please refrain from any sexual comments ( #500058972234055710 ).

[fresh river]

There are micro-levolution, I believe that is the correct term, in that there are doors and gates that can be opened and closed, bridges raised and lowered, and such dynamic elements as those. You're likely referring more to the destruction of buildings, maybe a highrise here or there?

[green breach]

I saw that comment lol

[lavish shadow]

[green breach]

Who is this TrKends guy?

[tall brook]

[arctic grove]

Me

Idiot

[lavish shadow]

Mute incoming lul

[grand kelp]

Anyway, back to video game

[lofty relic]

Yeah depends on how much it impacts the map really. But I pretty much mean if players can activate larger levolution events (such as the C flag skyscraper in BF4, where you had to take down the 4 pillars)

[wheat yew]

So the blog said we'll be given the tools to make our operators be unique from those of other players.

Does that mean an end to monolithic, non-customisable outfits like BFV elites?

[grand kelp]

I believe so

[arctic grove]

Next BF trailer leak: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhrMOd_JU8c&t=0

[kind thicket]

i think so, but not in exactly the same way

rocket crash for instance

[stiff pollen]

It’s skins like MW2019/CW

[lavish shadow]

I saw a bunch of micro destruction in the gameplay trailer and im all for it! I hope theres still some bf4 style levolution like buildings fallin but Idm if theres none

[green breach]

I want to give my German medic one of those Bavarian dresses.

[wheat yew]

Haven't played MW2019 or CW so that doesn't tell me much hahah

[tall brook]

[stiff pollen]

It’s full sets I believe

No mix or match

[wheat yew]

Which ones is that?

[stiff pollen]

Because people lambasted them for it in BFV

[arctic grove]

What is CW

[lofty relic]

Yeah I was thinking maybe the rocket can be impacted by players, making it fail and crash, or if it crashing (or succeeding to lift off) is random

[stiff pollen]

Cold War

[wheat yew]

If it's full sets then that means we'll inevitably look exactly like someone else

[stiff pollen]

Maybe

They only showed full outfits

[wheat yew]

Yeah, that's completely true

[stiff pollen]

And a lot looked like one pieces

[tall brook]

[stiff pollen]

And not split into 3-4 like BFV

[wheat yew]

I mean at the start of the game everyone's gonna look the same when we unlocked nothing

[kind thicket]

unplayable

[rocky apex]

Hopefully not identical system. I really disliked that skins in there are stuck to attachments. I hated having a dope skin ruined because it wasn't only meta attachments.

[stiff pollen]

Not if you pre order and buy the ultimate edition

[arctic grove]

Where is the battlefield theme? It was missing from the trailers

[wheat yew]

But for some reason that ticked me off a lot less when the soldiers were generic goons

[rocky apex]

There was a singular DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN at the end of the first trailer.

[wheat yew]

Meanwhile the same exact operator with the same name, voice, backstory, running in 20 instances, really irks me for some reason

[stiff pollen]

I don’t understand the industry’s fixation on unique identifiable heroes and shit

[arctic grove]

We need moooore

[grand kelp]

There’s also the Battlefield drum in the reveal trailer

[stiff pollen]

Especially for a game with 128 players

[green breach]

@wheat yew A fraulan Oktoberfest outfit

[grand kelp]

In the Qatar scene

[sullen violet]

The reveal trailer didnt even need dun dun dun dun dun

[rocky apex]

I mean, in previous Battlefields there was barely any customisation to make your soldier look different. Everybody running the same medic, engineer, support and recons

[lofty relic]

The music on todays BF2042 briefing stream was really cool

[wheat yew]

Yeah, I'd much rather be an average goon (not sarcasm)

[rocky apex]

Lies, there's never enough DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUNing

[worn whale]

That’s how I really wanted bf2042 to be tbh

[stiff pollen]

I get why they’re doing it; to sell skins and get people invested in characters

[arctic grove]

Need dun dun dun dun with catJAM in the trailer

[sullen violet]

I was abit disapointed but i mean it didnt matter after tuk tuk or rendezook 😛

[stiff pollen]

Although I find it hard to be invested in generic first person guy

[lavish shadow]

there better be:

• watch customization
• glove customization

things we can actually see lmfao

[stiff pollen]

20 dollar glove dlc

[wheat yew]

Yeah I know, and I would prefer 20 instances of same looking nameless soldier than 20 instances of the same looking named special operator

[frail sparrow]

[lavish shadow]

open gloves from $50 cases

[rocky apex]

I feel like we still get a BR by the way. Solely because they hired a guy from Activision that was responsible for making Warzone free to play .

[wheat yew]

+1 for gloves customisation

[kind thicket]

no difference to me

[rocky apex]

If multiplayer isn't free to play what do they need the Activision guy for?

[lavish shadow]

:DUN: :DUN: :DUN: :DUN: :DUN: :DUN:

[stiff pollen]

Hazard Zone is probably their take on BR without being called a BR

[lavish shadow]

hold up

[frail sparrow]

:D

[rocky apex]

[wheat yew]

That actually makes sense

[lavish shadow]

:((

[wheat yew]

In the blog they said the operators do stuff like smuggling intel gathering etc etc

[stiff pollen]

If you say BR people think you win by being last person standing but if you say it’s like dark zone or tarkov people understand you can win by extracting or completing objectives

[livid swift]

that image teaser for Hazard Zone, that's a freakin satellite crashing into the sea 👀

[frail sparrow]

oh wait, i can finally use my evil laugh emote now

[short arch]

Battlefield 2042 SUCKS!!!!

[stiff pollen]

Which sounds more like battlefield

[wheat yew]

So maybe hazard zone is you and your squad doing various objectives on the map

[rocky apex]

I wonder if it's exactly what we expect from a BR but they just refuse to call it a BR

[wheat yew]

Against other squads

[lavish shadow]

""heheheumuahahhahahaah"

[civic tiger]

U suck more

[lofty relic]

In case you missed the briefing stream they uploaded on youtube as an unlisted video. It has some cool music in it, might be used in BF2042
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rX9dUdtJQI

[still vault]

Oh I can do something here

[kind thicket]

battlefield sucks tell your friends

[rocky apex]

YASSSSSS

Trainees lack permissions

[kind thicket]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rX9dUdtJQI

[stiff pollen]

I imagine it’s like division heartlands or Tarkov or the Hunt; PVP where you can win by being last standing but the true objective is to just extract and live another day

[civic tiger]

But will bf 2042 need a beefy pc?

[wheat yew]

Yeah it might be like the dark zone from Division

[kind thicket]

yes and no

[stiff pollen]

Doubt it

[still vault]

I'll make my own so I don't steal from someone else

[frail sparrow]

[kind thicket]

probably like 1060 minimum, 2070 recommended

[stiff pollen]

As a division player I’m not too keen on it being dark zone but having played division heartlands I think it’s more like that than anything

[rocky apex]

I'd like to see it lean towards a traditional BR but instead of zones it's just levolution chaos

[livid swift]

Hazard Zone: Squad up with your other 3 battle buddies in order to retrieve the lost satellite data, while a horde of Megalodons and T-rex are in your way.

[rocky apex]

With rush elements making certain areas totally unplayable

[frail sparrow]

i'd just want firestorm 2.0 😦

[civic tiger]

I have a 1650 tho

[stiff pollen]

Theres likely multiple ways to win so classifying it as BR wouldn’t be fair because BR strictly means “last alive”

[rocky apex]

https://giphy.com/gifs/first-half-they-had-us-in-the-inthe-y2i2oqWgzh5ioRp4Qa

[civic tiger]

For free like warzone

[stiff pollen]

Plus they want to distance themselves from firestorm

[arctic grove]

Firestorm was incredibly boring

[frail sparrow]

si

[tall brook]

[wheat yew]

Personally I'd rather they put all their attention into a great multiplayer experience first, and only later experiment with e.g. Battle Royale

[civic tiger]

They made a mistake by not making it free

[kind thicket]

so what ur gucci bruv

[wheat yew]

I'm kinda meh about there being only 7 maps at the start

[stiff pollen]

They have 5 studios on the game and they cut the campaign, I think they have enough time

[civic tiger]

Br is kinda dead tho

[kind thicket]

how much did bf1 have?

bf4?

[stiff pollen]

They even cut BFV’s life cycle short by 6 months

[kind thicket]

these are bigger too

[stiff pollen]

And killed SWBF2

[arctic grove]

Spent more time trying to queue than actually playing the mode

[wheat yew]

They had 8-10 I think?

[civic tiger]

Yea lol sucks

[stiff pollen]

BFV’s life cycle was only 6 seasons

[rocky apex]

They gave up on that game real quick after community backlash post launch 🤣

[inland plank]

extra large conquest the only mode I need 👌

[stiff pollen]

There’s usually 4-5 seasons a year, game only got 6

[spice burrow]

Did anything important happen in that stream?

[stiff pollen]

No

[kind thicket]

bf4 had 10

[wheat yew]

I doubt that each season we're gonna get a new map

[rocky apex]

Summary here ▶️ https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-Announcements/Battlefield-Briefing-Welcome-to-2042/td-p/10415599

[wheat yew]

Maybe every two seasons or once a year

[spice burrow]

I dropped blue cheese on my keyboard so i couldn't watch it

[kind thicket]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rX9dUdtJQI

[stiff pollen]

[rocky apex]

I can't believe BF4 is an 8 year old game now

[cinder wraith]

I'm okay with 7 maps... I highly doubt I'll even see all of each map in their entirety every game

[wheat yew]

BF4 still holds up really strong

[ebon mango]

Going so strong

[spice burrow]

Gta 5 is as old as bf4 kinda weird if u think about it

[stiff pollen]

I’ll say this: I wouldn’t play a battlefield BR again, but I’d play a battlefield The Hunt/Tarkov mode

[rocky apex]

These maps are so big because of 128 players. We should be happy with 7!

[lavish shadow]

I like 7 to start off

[rigid hawk]

this game is gonna be trash

[solar marten]

Hold up, bots!? Is this singleplayer with bots aswell?

[stiff pollen]

Yea

[civic tiger]

U can still que?

[wheat yew]

That sounds like wasted potential I think. Maps should have lots to do in them, I think.

[solar marten]

All is forgiven

[arctic grove]

They grow up so fast

[lavish shadow]

In hindsight, too many gamemodes + too many maps = disaster with the playerbase

[solar marten]

Wrong reply

[rigid hawk]

yes but there like real players also giving you xp

[civic tiger]

Yep

[kind thicket]

bf4 has the most players

[livid swift]

100%, Hunt and Tarkov style raids would be more intriguing than the br formula that has been ongoing

[rocky apex]

https://giphy.com/gifs/nbc-season-6-episode-chicago-pd-8PyT9LFmnRRmAwCFIX

[solar marten]

Dc about real players tbh

[civic tiger]

Real shit like more than bf1 and 5?

[lavish shadow]

Just stick to 4 main gamemodes + 7 main maps (at launch) and playerbase will be more focused
then refine those gamemodes and fix bugs and glitches on each maps, learn and make more maps
then the community will be happier

[ebon mango]

I think the bigger problem at hand is how 128players on one map is going to clash with vechicles and all

[stiff pollen]

I think PVP raids to extract loot is better because it allows multiple winners and not just “you lost because you had bad position and worse loot”

[wheat yew]

I also don't know how I feel about third person knife animations, I can't wait to see what it looks like but I'm gonna miss the first person ones

[cinder wraith]

but that's what I'm saying... you'll spend hours in each map and not even find every nook and crawlspace and whatnot

[stiff pollen]

Third person takedowns are to sell skins and shit

[lofty relic]

Same

[rocky apex]

Anything third person in a first person game is to drive sales of skins and camos imo

[arctic grove]

Executions? Disgusting

[stiff pollen]

They’re gonna put the animations in the battle pass and store, that’s what Halo 5 did

[kind thicket]

who said 3rd person?

[young isle]

easyline

[lavish shadow]

loll im worried about it too.. i mean kelidoscope with 128 players makes sense... but a map which is like more than 7.5x bigger than hamada holding 2x more players than what hamada held lel

im sure the maps are designed well for 128p

[still vault]

[grand kelp]

Say that to the BFEE community

[wheat yew]

But why does every nook and Crawlspace need to be found? If it's important it'll be found very quickly, if it's not important then maybe less quickly but then it doesn't matter too much

[lavish shadow]

arigatou

[arctic grove]

Which means wingsuits could be customizable

[young isle]

recker

[lofty relic]

The melee takedowns are 3rd person now

[lavish shadow]

[wheat yew]

Yeah

[kind thicket]

sauce

[rocky apex]

[stiff pollen]

I hope the battle pass isn’t grindy

[ebon mango]

We are used to 1 to 5 tanks on zavod vs golmud. On these big maps they are hyping I doubt they will have under 8 a side. Gonna be a busy server.

[stiff pollen]

Seasons 1-3 in BFV were easy

[wheat yew]

Jackfrags and Levelcap

[cinder wraith]

bf4 has crazy easter eggs that are found years after launch... maybe that's why

[lofty relic]

Think Jackfrags talked about it

[kind thicket]

stop the cap

i watched jack and aint heard shit

[lavish shadow]

AI bots will fill up the rest of the slots

[ebon mango]

Gonna be tasty

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/battlefield-get-real-get-real-bf2042-gif-21892430

[ebon mango]

Sigh*

[lavish shadow]

i hope they change it

[stiff pollen]

They won’t

[lavish shadow]

first person anything > tpp

[lofty relic]

Same but they won't

[lavish shadow]

more iMmErSiVe

[wheat yew]

To be honest I see the possibility

[grand kelp]

They confirm no mix bots and players in the match

[ebon mango]

I wish bots weren't around just cause of the difficulty gap. Makes boosting unfair

[wheat yew]

That they will indeed sell different knife animations as cosmetics

[kind thicket]

3rd person takedowns are cap

[wheat yew]

Like, it makes sense

[lavish shadow]

they literally talked about it toda

today

they said

[ebon mango]

Yay

[lavish shadow]

"AI bots will fill up the space until the user connects"

[arctic grove]

So when you knife someone you get an out-of-body experience ?

[lavish shadow]

"and the user will replace the AI bot when connected"

smth like that

[wheat yew]

Kinda like Red Orchestra

[still vault]

@rocky apex - not sure if it's better than the one you linked to but it's the correct font so that's something ^^

[lofty relic]

Just to clarify, bots fill up servers only if there aren't enough players, and as soon as a player joins they take the bots place

[lavish shadow]

bro thats awesome for people who get shit wifi for regular servers!!!!

[stiff pollen]

When you knife someone they get to see how cool you look and say “wow I want that skin”

And then they go buy it

[rocky apex]

I didn't link it! Not sure who that was

[grand kelp]

Ah, I see!

[wheat yew]

I think it's good, because whilst I'm sure bots might look dumb sometimes and won't be as good as players, that's good that you'll be able to enjoy the game whenever, not just when people are online

[stiff pollen]

“Wow that animation was sick, oh I need the battle pass to get this”

[lavish shadow]

how many min players do u think?

i think 24

[stiff pollen]

They take all spots until game is full

[lavish shadow]

oh all?

[lofty relic]

Could be, or maybe it's just 1 player minimum now

[stiff pollen]

Bot matches can be you and 127 bots

[wheat yew]

If dedicated servers are a thing I guess the owners might be able to set that

Whether bots fill up or not

[stiff pollen]

If it’s like SWBF2 which I imagine it is you can have a fuck ton of bots

[lavish shadow]

dedicated means from their own EA servers no?

[wheat yew]

I wonder if it would be possible to have 128 players AND extra bits on top without destabilising the game

[arctic grove]

Bots are taking over human jobs smh

[kind thicket]

official

[wheat yew]

Kinda like when Titanfall has AI bots as grunts

[lavish shadow]

"verify you're a bot to pre-purchase bf2042"

[boreal bolt]

how can i get access to the Alpha?

[lavish shadow]

"sorry, ur a human, go back to bf5"

[stiff pollen]

Get lucky

[grand kelp]

You don’t

[modest kelp]

what alpha

[boreal bolt]

crap

[rocky apex]

finally a briefings command

[stiff pollen]

Ima be honest I’m totally gonna grind attachments and the battle pass in bot matches

[lavish shadow]

thanks adminios

[rocky apex]

I was waiting admin approval to make it

[lavish shadow]

[lofty relic]

Good stuff

[still vault]

[fresh river]

Right, thought that was the case. They haven't shared much about that so far. Seems like they are so focused on the weather-related types of levolution in BF 2042. I hope that these aren't the only large-scale levolution events available.

[grand kelp]

[lavish shadow]

me who already knows im not getting into any testing cuz im not in NA

[grand kelp]

RIP

[stiff pollen]

Like ima be honest, when SWBF2 was free on EGS I literally told everyone that got it to just grind to level 10-15 for each class in coop before playing online lol. I’m gonna do the same with BF2042

[lofty relic]

Yeah weather seems to play a big part. But we also know that the rocket on Orbital can fail and crash, ruining the area. Not sure whether this is random or player-activated but I'd assume random. Like, it can either fail and crash, or succeed and launch

So there might be more stuff like that

[patent hare]

I hope we can still be regular generic soldiers

[lofty relic]

Doesn't look like it

[lavish shadow]

i mean rocket doesnt look too big so i doubt anything big

[patent hare]

Fuck

[stiff pollen]

Generic soldiers are the AI

[lavish shadow]

unless it explodes

[stiff pollen]

You’re just built different

[lavish shadow]

lmfaooo

[arctic grove]

Gulf of Oman watching the trailer:

[stiff pollen]

“A different breed of soldier emerges”

[unkempt coral]

please be player activated

“These soldiers are just built different, Mr. President”

I saw that! Let's talk about it in #technology

[frail sparrow]

[stiff pollen]

LOL if dice makes a bot that can actually make me go less than positive in a match I’ll be impressed

[grand kelp]

Yeee

[arctic grove]

Dear god, finna be another phantom type assignment

[arctic grove]

Bro that pog emoji lmao !

[frail sparrow]

now i can really hear the duns

[inland plank]

if all 128 players fire their rpgs at big rocket at the same time, maybe it go boom?

[stiff pollen]

[boreal bolt]

when do you guys think we get the Beta?

[tired quest]

never

[arctic grove]

It becomes a hurricane

[lofty relic]

My guess is August/September

[stiff pollen]

I’m playing the alpha rn

[boreal bolt]

[stiff pollen]

No I just grinded against bots

[livid swift]

now that's a knife I wouldn't mind returning

[boreal bolt]

cant wait to get sucked by a tornado and get road killed by a heli that got sucked in as well xD

[manic token]

BFV was the best battlefield imo

[stiff pollen]

Bot matches in BF2042 gonna be so funny, people gonna accuse people of grinding in bot matches to get ranks and attachments and shit

[lofty sparrow]

[worldly sentinel]

Gun mechanics and movement yes, but bf4 was best

[lofty relic]

Can't wait for a tornado to launch a tank into the air and drop it on my head

[stiff pollen]

It’s gonna be like Cold War where every prestige 1000 grinded in zombies

[arctic grove]

Everybody agrees

[boreal bolt]

i wish they add a Phantom secret to BF2042

[fresh river]

I'm wondering about the nuclear sub on Discarded. I understand that that map has water levolution in it. What happens when that event happens and you have control of the sub? Can you move it into the open sea and fire the nuclear warheads? Talk about levolution!

[stiff pollen]

FIRE THE NUCLEAR WARHEADS

[lofty relic]

That does indeed sound very interesting. Can't wait to see more of the submarine and how that levolution works. I also understood there's close quarters infantry areas inside the cargoship, might be cool to see how that's impacted by levolution

[boreal bolt]

i wanna see destrction as well the scale and the limit of it, hope its like BFBC2

[lofty relic]

Levolution often felt like a gimmick to me in BF4, but now it seems kind of exciting in 2042

I feel like Bad Company had too much destruction almost

[scarlet torrent]

[manic token]

battlefront was the best battlefield imo

[worldly sentinel]

It did

[arctic grove]

Darth Vader specialist is cool

[vernal nova]

imo i liked 4 the most 😳

[worldly sentinel]

But with fortifications it might not be as bad since you can kinda rebuild cover

[lofty relic]

It doesn't seem like BF2042 will have fortifications

[pallid wren]

Alive chat xd

[fringe gust]

Your stupider than my hamster

[boreal bolt]

not sure if they r gonna add that tbh

[fresh river]

There were points in BF4 I felt that Levolution of the building was a bit much. But now I'm interested in the sub and what part if any it plays in levolution. How things, feelings, and thoughts evolve over time, indeed.

[pallid wren]

[worldly sentinel]

We have no idea, i doubt they've showed us much yet

[manic token]

i cant wait to get 200 kills with little bird

[fringe gust]

Like you can enjoy battlefield v

But to call it the best

Like stfu

[manic token]

my guy falling straight into the troll

[arctic grove]

Yeah we don't build now, we destroy

[fringe gust]

If you think it’s the best it’s the only

One you’ve played

[stiff pollen]

“Yeah I like BFV, how could you tell?”

[lofty relic]

Same, I just want to see what they've come up with

[fresh river]

Yes, 1000% agree!

[lofty relic]

True, just speculation on my part. But I'm not getting that feeling. Feels like we would've seen it in the trailer. But also feels like we would've seen destruction so maybe they're holding off on showing some stuff

[arctic grove]

If you forget it's ww2 its not so bad but it isn't so interesting either so I dont enjoy going back to it

[manic token]

imo battlefield 7 was the best one

[lavish shadow]

who are you jhackfrags?

[manic token]

jackfrags kind of a weirdo ngl

[north raven]

When will BattleField Bad Company 3 will come out?

[boreal bolt]

true that, i feel like they held off to untill the 22nd of July but we never know, we can only hope

[lavish shadow]

he's probably watched battlefield 9's trialer

[arctic grove]

I still didn't watch his gameplay revelation video lol

[lofty relic]

I don't mind no fortfications, but I really hope they'll show off some cool destruction in July. After all, they did showcase the new destruction capabilities of the Frostbite engine last year

[arctic grove]

[manic token]

imo the battlefield V trailer was the best

[kind thicket]

im playing the prealpha but i cant tell you that

[arctic grove]

SHUTCHO DAMN MOUTH

[boreal bolt]

yeah i Agree, we need destruction in BF2042 cuz its a major part of BF

[fresh river]

I agree but I'm worried we'll only get weather types for the most part. At least in the first set of maps.

want to be my sussy baka?

[manic token]

na i played like over 3 k hours on bf3/bf4

[frail sparrow]

bf4 is terrible, bf3 is much better

[lofty relic]

I hope not at least, but also feels odd they'd show off all that desctruction in Frostbite last year and not utilize it in BF2042

[manic token]

amogus: sussy

[lofty relic]

So I'll remain optimistic

[kind thicket]

that destruction is for fifa

[lofty relic]

Haha ofc

[arctic grove]

Oof destruction in FIFA is amazing honestly

[arctic grove]

Nah, I played both and throughly enjoyed those games.
The only thing I miss is the blue filter of Battlefield 3 in Metro or Sienne Crossing lol
DLC Maps were awesome like Aftermath

[kind thicket]

stop the cap we hated the filter

it was weird

[arctic grove]

Yeah blue filter is nice

[kind thicket]

sienne and metro looked good only

[arctic grove]

Suspicious idiot? What kind of idiot would want to be your personal idiot slave?

Blue filter...was interesting to say the least

I liked the filter

[kind thicket]

do you want to be my sussy baka?

[manic token]

I dont think im going to buy bf2042... theres no campaign... no point

[kind thicket]

blue filter was and is a meme

[fresh river]

Yes but there is a balancing game they have to play. They're very excited by what they created in the tornado for example so we might not see massive building levolution.

[lofty relic]

Flakfire made a video showing off the new Frostbite stuff from last year
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4qzAFOn3V4

[kind thicket]

spaceship moon is a weak troll imo

[arctic grove]

People used to crap on it because of seizures lol, seizures was a worth it experience for the game lol

[kind thicket]

hope next gen is better

[lofty relic]

Like volumetric smoke, building destruction etc

Feels like it was all for BF2042 now

[arctic grove]

No, I'm not gay, so I will reject your homosexual offer, go offer it to them.

[arctic grove]

People get seizures from the blue filter?

[frail sparrow]

it was

[fresh river]

Watching now.

[lofty relic]

True, but what if the tornado could destroy parts of building too, I'm thinking

[boreal bolt]

knowing Dice i have a feeling that they have a good Desrtction system, but only time can tell

[arctic grove]

it was a meme, but I wouldn't doubt if someone did from the blinding intro sequence.
BF2042 ain't easy on Seizures people either lol

[arctic grove]

I mean.. Video games cause seizures

[fringe gust]

You’ve officially crossed the hardline

[arctic grove]

When I watch jackfrags all I can hear is BUUT!!

[manic token]

nah its true

[manic token]

hardline also shit game

[flint jay]

How did the old battlefield vehicle system work???

[rocky apex]

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion but let's not bash any content creators many people love please .

[flint jay]

Like pre battlefield 2

[manic token]

i can

[lime coyote]

other way around

[slim quiver]

The vehicle would just be on the map

[lime coyote]

but bf3 is still good

[signal robin]

i hate the new specialist system

[manic token]

who also has 2500 kills with littlebird in bf4

[slim quiver]

Ill admit I wasn't a fan of what we heard about specialists today, but I remain optimistic until i test it for myself

[fringe gust]

Your not a battlefield fan

Get this dude out of here

[manic token]

i absolutely love bf3/bf4 dont put words in my mouth dipshit

[fringe gust]

He thinks bfv is the best

[slim quiver]

Alright lets keep it civil

[signal robin]

idk it’s just the fact that you’ll have the same 11 characters running around constantly is just bad

[fringe gust]

[manic token]

im trolling the fuck out of u

Funny enough I actually Love BFV

[fringe gust]

Ngl yeah you got me

Take it easy on the insults please, may I remind me of the existence of #500058972234055710 before any lines are crossed 🙂.

[flint jay]

Where? just random locations?

[fringe gust]

[slim quiver]

nah it was fixed

[fringe gust]

Props to you

[flint jay]

So fixed areas?

[manic token]

respect bro

[north raven]

me

[slim quiver]

yeah so like vehicles spawn in a spawn

its fixed where they spawn

[manic token]

respect 💯

[slim quiver]

i remember in BF2 in karkand the transport spawning when you captured certain points

[fresh river]

I would hope so! Seems silly to have it in the game if the smaller buildings weren't destructible by it.

[rocky apex]

I never played that game, may I assume it was just PLOP out of thin air?

[slim quiver]

LOL

yea

[fringe gust]

I hope the scar comes back in 2042

[rocky apex]

Nobody saw that one coming

[lofty relic]

Exactly!

[slim quiver]

you'd see a pair wheels drop 5 inches off the ground

[north raven]

yeah sure

[slim quiver]

and then you'd see someone stare at a door and instantly enter

[slim quiver]

One thing I wish they brought back

[arctic grove]

Was trying to check on the bot

[slim quiver]

back in BC2, if a sniper got into a helicopter

it would just be a ghille suit flying a helicopter

[arctic grove]

Still working hard I see

[slim quiver]

because there was no designated pilot clothing

[simple linden]

i wonder how easy/difficult will be to kill tanks

[bleak nebula]

scout heli was so op in bf4

[slim quiver]

if tanks are hard to kill that will be a nightmare

[simple linden]

maybe, but theres also gonna be a lot more people running around now

[arctic grove]

C4:

[lofty relic]

C5 actually

[copper fulcrum]

laughs in all 128 players carrying rocket launchers and C4

[fringe gust]

[rough forum]

God damn nagatoro

[slim quiver]

we just need good rockets lmao

[simple linden]

i wouldnt want tanks to become paperweights

and get destroyed in a few seconds

[bleak nebula]

^

[slim quiver]

tanks dont need to be paper weights but they dont need to be like BFV and BF1

[simple linden]

cuz 10 dudes fired rockets at you

[arctic grove]

I'm guessing rockets changed a little in 2042

[slim quiver]

i should never see a tank player going 70-1

[simple linden]

in bf1 the problem was due to infinite ammo, and in bf5 the problem was due to resupply placements xD

[arctic grove]

That one death

[slim quiver]

to deal with modern armor i'd imagine

[lofty relic]

"While every Specialist has their own unique specialty, like Mackay and his trusty Grappling Hook, classic Battlefield items will be accessible to every Specialist including the C5 Explosive, Anti-Tank Mine, and Frag Grenade."

[bleak nebula]

I think that will be a bit harder with more people in general(128) plus likely more people running rockets instead of only engineer though

[slim quiver]

theres 1 yeah he redeployed to get into the tank ofc

[simple linden]

i consider myself an okay tank player, i always played around the team, and played as an assault tank

i never had that insane score, but i could go on like 10-15 player killstreak

[slim quiver]

this is my one hope that it will be harder to manage vehicles because of so many players

[simple linden]

and most of those 70-1 guys, i see them chilling 5 miles away from everyone and just endlessly snipe people

[slim quiver]

thats the thing Rajta

a tank player actually playing vehicles correctly and based off objective taking

will get a normal score like everyone else, and cycle in and out of vehicles each life

[simple linden]

yep, thats how i played in tanks

[slim quiver]

sniping tanks shouldnt really be rewarded for sitting way back and just lobbing shots

[simple linden]

i was in there supporting the team

[bleak nebula]

is tank camping a bigger problem in bfv than older bfs(like 3 and 4)?

[simple linden]

sometimes i went on a killstreak, and sometimes i overextend and fuck myself and die in 10 seconds xD

[slim quiver]

so in 2042 it would be nice to have a gadget or something that is good for long range tank takedowns

[bleak nebula]

it's been a while since I played bfv

[slim quiver]

yes

[simple linden]

i reckon that theres gonna be a lot of lock on gadgets

[slim quiver]

tanks on any pacific map sit

[simple linden]

so people dont snipe from 5 miles away

[arctic grove]

Anti tank missile that bypasses countermeasures and travels across map

[tall granite]

wjhat are they gonna show

[bleak nebula]

is there a reason why, I remember bf3 and bf4 tanks usually rushing to objectives usually

[slim quiver]

the problem is in BF1 and BFV, the maps are open areas

the entire map is just an open plains with some hills

[simple linden]

because in bf5 you had limited ammo, and resupply stations were put far away from action bubbles

[bleak nebula]

so just bad map design

[slim quiver]

Modern you have cities and buildings where tanks cant just lob shots

[simple linden]

so people could endlessly sit there and snipe people with certain tanks

[slim quiver]

more like ww2 wasn't always fought in cities

[bleak nebula]

fair enough

[arctic grove]

Hardline had tanks

[slim quiver]

like breakthrough in city maps in BFV, the tanks actually get flanked

[simple linden]

coupled with poor map design and you got 70-1 dudes in servers

[arctic grove]

Inb4 artillery shots using radars

[slim quiver]

im going to say it

if we can play an artillery tank in 2042

im going to cry tears of joy

[arctic grove]

We need navy

Battleships

Navy battles

[simple linden]

aerodrome was horrid to play

the top tank player always left at the end of the match

[bleak nebula]

I'm a jet player, I hope for 2 seater jets though, but sadly it doesn't seem it will happen

[simple linden]

cuz he cant snipe hard with tanks on other maps

[slim quiver]

we could get the 2S19M2 Arty RU tank. 152mm Howitzer. This thing would be amazing to drive around

[tall granite]

tuk tuk army vs tank

[bleak nebula]

tuk tuk army wins ez

[tall granite]

who would win

a tornado or a 3 wheel boy

[arctic grove]

That would be cool but we might actually get 2 seated jets because bfv and bf1 had them

[bleak nebula]

yeah the trailer so far only showed single seater so far

[lucid ocean]

Lol

[simple linden]

well, so far they showed f35 and su57

they are single seaters

[slim quiver]

3 wheelie boy

[bleak nebula]

su57 is beautiful

[sacred depot]

yolo rpg and ammo box on assault in 2042

[simple linden]

im also a bit worried about them creating hard weapon metas

since every class can take any weapon

but maybe having 127 other players will somewhat negate an effect of only seeing meta weapons

[slim quiver]

@sacred depot we were mentioning artillery tanks being added to bf2042

[arctic grove]

€|££|+{¥{¥¥{£*^ INITIATIVE

[slim quiver]

twee hear me out

[sacred depot]

if they are the 2042 subreddit will go apeshit

thats just about what we'll get provided we get them

[slim quiver]

imagine a tank at the other end of the map, and you have one person measuring the coordinates on a map from another unit that spotted the tank, and you have a 2B1 Oka, 420mm howitzer. the feel of getting a direct hit

[bleak nebula]

lmao

[simple linden]

lol

[arctic grove]

What the hell

[simple linden]

i think that would be too hardcore for casuals xD

[slim quiver]

LOL

I could see you driving that twee

[sacred depot]

looks more like a torpedo than a missile tbh

[past pewter]

For an April fools can we get snow balls as gernades

[quasi scarab]

So what’s the deal with “AI is used for server filling” ?

Does this mean we can’t disable servers with AI? Are we forced to play with AI now?

[sacred depot]

gta 5 online does that and its pretty cool

[slim quiver]

Agreed

tho it would need to be simplified

BF is still an arcade after all, but the gunner should use some form of simplistic coordinate system

[sacred depot]

ok but like

hear me out

You have my attention twee

A10 warthog is a single seater, right?

[simple linden]

that will be very useful for regions where you cant fill a server

[slim quiver]

Okay twee, that will be 50K squad points

[sacred depot]

nuke launcher

[fathom delta]

I get Error code 1 whenever i try to play bf4

[simple linden]

i reckon until a match starts, there are gonna be bots

[fathom delta]

Ive been lvl 139 since 2015

[simple linden]

in EU/NA servers, filling a server isnt a problem

[quasi scarab]

In East Coast US on a gigabit fiber connection I’m not really concerned about that. I want the option to play without AI

[sacred depot]

or this

takes 12 people to build

and only 1 is on the map

[fathom delta]

No fix for error code 1 iguess?

[kind thicket]

playing without ai is just playing a full server

[simple linden]

i dont think you need to worry about playing with AI, cuz of the matchmaking system

[kind thicket]

id bet custom servers can turn it off

[simple linden]

you live in a populated area, so that wont be an issue

[kind thicket]

coasties

[slim quiver]

Honestly

[slim quiver]

I would love something like this tbh

[quasi scarab]

I still want to know we’ll have the ability to turn that off. I don’t play Zombies COD for the same reason. I don’t play multiplayer FPS to play against AI

[slim quiver]

field artillery, just 1 per big map would do wonders

[arctic grove]

Playing on PC is fun no lie

[lucid ocean]

Imagine grappling onto a chopper and flying off with it

[slim quiver]

it would also simulate the destruction of war in areas that no enemies are currently present, kind of like a collateral damage aspect

[north raven]

Yes PC master race all the way

[simple linden]

but thats the thing, when have you ever seen a half empty server in bf5 at the start of a match

[quasi scarab]

I’m hoping I can grapple swing off a jet and spin around and rocket people

[tall granite]

no i prefer explosives

[simple linden]

pretty much never, unless MM system is broken at that point in time

[kind thicket]

more bomba

[tall granite]

grapple the chopper then use c4

[sacred depot]

shell the sandstorm

[brave flare]

Hey do current BF's block players if they're using a vpn? Anyone know?

[quasi scarab]

That’s my point, if I have no reason to need AI fillers, why can’t I turn it off entirely?

[lucid ocean]

Imagine grappling onto a chopper and flying off with it ohhhh shiiii

[arctic grove]

Lol tbh I'ma see hackers I feel like hacking back lol

Lol

Gotta find bf4 files

[simple linden]

you wont see them you live in east coast

theres gonna be plenty of people in your area that are gonna play 2042

[lucid ocean]

Imagine grappling into the passanger seat taking out the crew and pilot 😂

Shell a mountainside and cause an avalanche

[livid falcon]

if you're playing on a private server, it depends. don't know about official servers

[arctic grove]

South Africa has servers now

[simple linden]

your server region wont be filled with AI, cuz theres always gonna be full servers

[sacred depot]

all specialists get the robo doggo

wahh im forced to <some inert game feature>

That’s not the question

[slim quiver]

Oh this is going to be amazing

[kind thicket]

such babies

[slim quiver]

everyone has a doggo

[brave flare]

For some reason I can only connect to servers if I use VPN's on BF4, but most servers are kicking me for using it.

[arctic grove]

Should be no problem in Africa for bf 2042 servers

[simple linden]

we dont know if theres a separate mm pool to search only with players or not, they didnt provide that info

[quasi scarab]

It’s not if I will need AI fills, it’s if I can turn it off

[brave flare]

I'm sure server owners will be able to turn off the AI bullshit

[quasi scarab]

I tried to @ one of the EA folks but that doesn’t seem to work

[lucid ocean]

Imagine you on a building under fire surrounded and u see a freindly Helo fly past and you grapple onto it flyin to safety

[brave flare]

there's no way they don't let us turn off AI filling, lots of people hate fighting with AI in the mix

[kind thicket]

playing against ai instead of dead lobbies sounds like a win to me

[simple linden]

but i dont know why you even worry about AI fillers, when you live in an area with a lot of people

[livid falcon]

it's probably a better topic for discussion in #technology
the people that frequent there would probably be able to better help you then the people that frequent here

theres zero chance of seeing almost full AI lobbies in EU/NA servers

[fallow fiber]

It’ll be prolly be where the AI Exist but a player can take its spot as soon as they join

[open falcon]

guys my ryzen 5 2600 and my gtx 1660 will be able to run bf42 on medium?

[arctic grove]

I forget but irl they do something like that in bf4 it's begins with extraction

[potent matrix]

I hope gunmaster returns can't get enough of it

[simple linden]

my best guess, they will always fill up the server at the start of a round

[kind thicket]

max

[simple linden]

and as players connect, they get kicked out

[terse plinth]

ryzen 5 rx 570

1 fps for me

[potent matrix]

😥

[versed gate]

When the games past its hay day and its lacking players AI bots to fill 128 player servers would be a blessing

[simple linden]

or, they wont even load if the server sees people in queue or loading the map

[kind thicket]

also, i can play with bots instead of wait in a 20 person queue

[worn whale]

I wonder how good these AI bots will be

[arctic grove]

3050 mobile
i7 9th gen

how many fps will i get in bfv?

[kind thicket]

better than zitping for sure

[kind thicket]

6 or 7

[quasi scarab]

Again it’s not that I’m worried that my servers will frequently have them. It’s that I would like the option to disable matchmaking with bots entirely.

[simple linden]

well, most likely that wont be an option

i doubt they are gonna create separate mm pools for that

[real ether]

i think more than 8

[quasi scarab]

If you’re gonna diss me at least @ me next time

[amber kernel]

I think u gotta filter that out in the server browser

[simple linden]

but thats just a guess, nobody knows at this point how AI fillers are gonna work

[past pewter]

Penguin helmet

When

[kind thicket]

DEFINITELY BETTER THAN @quasi scarab

[quasi scarab]

c4 penguin lets go

[simple linden]

youve got 2 options really, either bots will be always enabled and they will get kicked off or not even be in the match if the server sees people loading, or there will be a separate mm pool to search lobbies where no AI ever enter

and my guess that its gonna be option number 1

[fair rain]

[slim quiver]

There should be an easter egg where we can go Penguin Sledding like avatar the last air bender, go off a cliff and fire an RPG at a jet

[magic elk]

[simple linden]

just some guy worried about seeing more AI than actual players

or not wanting to play against AI

[kind thicket]

lmao

[nocturne furnace]

[nocturne furnace]

like ocenia

[past pewter]

Bots are funny to get shitted on

[kind thicket]

we circle back to the find a full server point

[remote bolt]

i wonder if we will have the ability to talk to other squads, maybe squad leader to squad leader.

[simple linden]

thats my take on it as well

[kind thicket]

<teamchat>

[past pewter]

Team chat is going to be like penguins

[simple linden]

EU/NA regions will never have issues filling up a server

[ornate ingot]

I want to see polar bears

[novel apex]

Will the AI be competent?

[past pewter]

Oh penguins biggest rival

[ornate ingot]

Fr

[novel apex]

With all the cool shit we have.

[magic elk]

BF doesnt even have a ranked mode anyway, no need to be that sweaty against bots

[novel apex]

Like grappling hooks, and so on.

[kind thicket]

better than @quasi scarab

[livid falcon]

hmm, what if bf2042 introduces a ranked mode
would anyone here play it

[past pewter]

Polar bears are rivals to penguins

[simple linden]

their main purpose is to help new players, or regions that have a harder time to fill up a server

[arctic grove]

Hardline, I doubt anybody even plays that game anymore lol

[ornate ingot]

Polar bears would be cool

[quasi scarab]

Like I don’t understand the shit I’m getting for a simple question/suggestion.

Sure, it’s a valuable feature. However, I’d like the option to disable it.

[arctic grove]

Cry about it.

[kind thicket]

no pb in anarctica

[novel apex]

Ranked mode for Battlefield?

Sounds like cringe.

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/cry-about-it-cry-about-it-meme-gif-20184012

lol

[simple linden]

i doubt, competitive bf never became popular for a reason

[bleak nebula]

they should just turn ai into penquins

[arctic grove]

watch yo profanity...

[ornate ingot]

Lmao imagine

[rocky apex]

Damn you scrolled far for that one .

[arctic grove]

watch yo username....

[past pewter]

Penguins vs AI

[arctic grove]

WOAH

[ornate ingot]

Just a penguin charging towards you with a shield

[kind thicket]

shit i missed 420 while i was trolling in chat

[simple linden]

but why would you want to disable it?

like whats the reason

[quasi scarab]

Because I don’t want to play against or with AI?

[past pewter]

Penguin scout be like hoonk spotted player

[maiden sphinx]

It doesnt feel rewarding killing a bot

[simple linden]

but how does that affect you in any way when you live in a densely populated area

[worn whale]

Btw seems like embark animations are back sadly

[ornate ingot]

Every voice line is the same lmao

[quasi scarab]

B I N G O

[past pewter]

Then don’t play it then if you going to be bitching about it

[simple linden]

youre telling me, youre gonna rage if there are 126 players and 2 bots running around?

come on man, lets not kid ourselves

[ornate ingot]

Fair enough

[past pewter]

Bruh bots are funny as fuck

[magic elk]

damn, you guys are so racist against AI machines

[quasi scarab]

I’m not bitching. It’s a discussion on the discord and the Reddit that I’m opening, because it’s a question I feel like I’m not alone on.

[magic elk]

skynet will remember

[prime grove]

let them icba

[past pewter]

It’s like you don’t care about bots and just tryhard at everything

[worn whale]

Imagine bots aim botting in the heli gunner seat.

[quasi scarab]

It’s not even about tryharding or sweating. I’ll be the first to say I’m trash.

I just don’t want to play with AI

[worn whale]

[quasi scarab]

It’s really simple

[simple linden]

you wont even need to worry about bots in like the first 3 years at least

[kind thicket]

dice customer service here

[ornate ingot]

Lmao

[past pewter]

AI is to get you better at stuff that your not good at

[pliant mauve]

frind

we down

[magic elk]

I'm very positive that will be bots playing better than some people, so no need to worry about it

[simple linden]

but what would you actually do if you saw 126 players and 2 bots

[kind thicket]

im excited for bots

[simple linden]

i doubt you would be like, OMG BOTS IM OUT

[arctic grove]

same

[quasi scarab]

It’s also not a discussion about skill level.

I believe players want and should have the ability to turn off AI in their matchmaking.

[past pewter]

I’m exited to see what the bots have in store for me

[kind thicket]

easier to fuck around when im not getting shot down by some sweatlord heli pilot

[simple linden]

chances are you wont even see them in the battle if thats the scenario

[prime grove]

so bots will be in normal mp matches?

[ornate ingot]

Bots seem fun to mess with tbf

[magic elk]

looks like, yes

[simple linden]

only if a server cant be filled

[past pewter]

Then what’s the point in wating for a lobby to start filling up en

And you have bots to do that for you

[quasi scarab]

I’m suggesting that for most players in populated regions this is not an issue, and we should have the option to queue with only real players

[simple linden]

in that case, you will queue with real players

[maiden sphinx]

Hopefully its just a last resort if no real people join after a while

[past pewter]

True

[brave flare]

I'd rather do 40 vs 40 than 64v64 with 24 bots on each team tbh

[quasi scarab]

100% this

[kind thicket]

there arent bots? servers fill up?

[ornate ingot]

Would be cool to see games with real players mostly but then games with bots mostly too imo

[simple linden]

and you know where that will happen, in like oceania

[kind thicket]

only for dead servers

[simple linden]

not EU/NA

[past pewter]

64 vs 64 for bots that don’t brother me

[kind thicket]

such a non issue

[ornate ingot]

So like only a squad or 2 may be able to play

[quasi scarab]

That’s not what they’ve stated so far

[magic elk]

you guys dont even know if the bots are skilled or not

[quasi scarab]

All they’ve said is that AI will be used for server filling

[ornate ingot]

Good point

[past pewter]

Na i know what bots can do in games

[quasi scarab]

I’m just asking for clarification

[simple linden]

yes, when theres no more people in the MM queue

[worn whale]

Imagine 64 AI’s fighting 64 AI’s

[simple linden]

bots wont be in the server if they are in the MM queue

[ornate ingot]

That would be cool @

!

[magic elk]

what they can do in BF 2042?

[past pewter]

That will be crazy

[kind thicket]

AI is for:

Empty servers
Single player sandbox
Private lobbies

AI will not be playing full servers

[past pewter]

Then it will be insane

[quasi scarab]

Are either of you DICE/EA devs?

Am I just ignorant here?

[kind thicket]

i watched their meeting this morning and they said so, yes you are lmao

[simple linden]

why would bots ever be on a server if there are people in the MM queue

[worn whale]

There won’t

[simple linden]

exactly

[worn whale]

You the player replace the bot

[simple linden]

thats my point

[quasi scarab]

Can you link a source? All I’ve seen is that they’ve stated the AI will be used for server filling, and I haven’t seen a lot else on this

[past pewter]

When you leave the bot takes over

[rocky apex]

Nobody engaging in this conversation, currently, is a DICE or EA employee.

[kind thicket]

they posted a little graphic for it in the video today

[worn whale]

If there is 124 people in the server then you wait for a player to leave so you can join.

[quasi scarab]

Thanks, that’s what I thought

[simple linden]

i doubt a bot will even join if you leave

cuz a normal player will just replace you thats in the MM queue

[patent hare]

just pre ordered battlefield

i'm hyped

[rocky apex]

We have these pretty roles for people that are ▶️ <@&470283967216615442> <@&219801228173901825> . More information on our roles in #info.

[simple linden]

as long as theres people in MM queue, bots wont be joining, thats my take on it

[patent hare]

also sucks how there's no such thing as a physical gold edtion for 2042

[simple linden]

thats how i would do it as well

[worn whale]

Lol did you just ping them?

[fickle otter]

Im sure servers will be poppin

[maiden sphinx]

never preorder but go you

[simple linden]

oh hi @fickle otter

[fickle otter]

Ayyy Rajta

[quasi scarab]

That’s what I’m hoping

[simple linden]

fancy seeing you here

[patent hare]

this game has its owns benefits though for pre ordering

[fickle otter]

[patent hare]

early access to beta

[rocky apex]

Negative, you can mention any role with <@&ROLEID>. As I don't have pinging permission it doesn't ping them .

[patent hare]

full game a week prior to release

[night vessel]

https://youtu.be/KIW4YEauXcI?t=19 bro inmage if Russian team main menu had this epic music.

[past pewter]

This is called big brain

[maiden sphinx]

yeahh well u wont get any of them now lol, i would have waited until it gives u somehing right away or just right before the game launches

[kind thicket]

mmm preorder doesnt get early access

[ornate ingot]

I really want to hear the main theme music for 2042

[kind thicket]

gold does

[quasi scarab]

I think an EA Play Pro subscription gives you the same access, right?

[kind thicket]

ye

[worn whale]

Hell, 3 years on discord and I just knew about this.

[patent hare]

i can cancel my pre order

[simple linden]

the only time you will see a significant bot numbers is in like 7 years, when theres not much people playing

[maiden sphinx]

oh okay well then thats good

[patent hare]

i did it at gamestop

[simple linden]

that is if people stop playing 2042 by then

[kind thicket]

(x) doubt

[patent hare]

i can go back tomorrow and cancel it

to instead pre order on psn for the digital gold edition

i also pre ordered legends arceus

[arctic grove]

I'll probably preorder the gold edition

[rocky apex]

Oh there's more! <#CHANNELID> to mention a channel anywhere (even in DMs, it shows as #deleted-channel if you don't have access to it) and <@USERID>to mention a user anywhere (even in DMs, it shows as <!@INVALID-USER> if the user isn't in your cache but nowdays all clients retrieve users outside of cache if you share a server with them that isn't huuuge).

[arctic grove]

there's like one game I ever regretted preordering

[worn whale]

Yeah I know about that, but I didn’t know about the role thingy lol.

[arctic grove]

and im sure you can guess what game

[simple linden]

fo76?

[ornate ingot]

Cold war

[rocky apex]

People get so confused with the role one hahaha

Even our staff just freaked out in staff chat, pinging me and saying RIP

[patent hare]

battlefield 5?

[mighty holly]

[arctic grove]

yessir

[kind hound]

any news on rsp communbity server tools?

crossplay?

[bleak nebula]

no

[patent hare]

oh cyberpunk

[simple linden]

i actually regret preordering titanfall 1

[patent hare]

even before release i thought it was garbage

[arctic grove]

I didn't even buy fo76 and I didn't regret getting cold war at all

[ornate ingot]

Is cyberpunk still super glitchy?

[maiden sphinx]

I really dont like that if u buy gold u get eraly acces to game launch...
