battlefield-2042

[simple linden]

i played the shit out in the beta, and i think i just burnt myself on launch xDD

[rocky apex]

Been there done that hahaha

[worn whale]

Lmao

[rocky apex]

Enjoyed beta so much game that I grinded and the game felt boring when it finally launched

[simple linden]

exactlyyy

[bleak nebula]

oof

[simple linden]

same shit

[mighty holly]

Tbh Probably a good choice so to say

[simple linden]

i was like, ehhh, thats it i guess xDD

[kind thicket]

cyberpunk is a great game if you can run it and like rpgs

[simple linden]

i played maybe like 50h and i was done LOL

[kind thicket]

if you wanted gta youre gonna hate it

[arctic grove]

very true but I have an xbox one s

[fresh river]

So what are your thoughts on the availability of AI bots in BF 2042? They will be available in Multiplayer, CO-OP, and Solo.

[arctic grove]

So you can guess what my experience was haha

[mighty holly]

!when

[azure lodge]

Battlefield 2042 Reveal Trailer: https://youtu.be/ASzOzrB-a9E
Battlefield 2042 Gameplay Trailer: https://youtu.be/WomAGoEh-Ss
EA Play Live time is an estimate.

[past pewter]

I canceled that game good thing

[bleak nebula]

yeah, it's a terrible sandbox

[simple linden]

great for regions that cant fill up a server, non issue on populated regions like EU//NA

[ornate ingot]

Mad, I think you can still immediately refund it even after you've bought it digitally to this day

[simple linden]

but a nice addition down the line when the game struggles to fill up a server in a couple of years, if thats the case

[past pewter]

Nop I bought it on Amazon

[ornate ingot]

Oh bet

Still though

[maiden sphinx]

Is steam or origin best place to buy it?

[simple linden]

doesnt matter, you still need to run origin client even if you buy on steam

or epic

[maiden sphinx]

So it needs to stay open?

[fresh river]

Agree but I do like the fact we can solo or CO-OP with a friend or two to work out vehicles and weapons usage as well as take time to learn a map before full server multiplayer events.

[simple linden]

yep

[versed gate]

I really hope these massive maps have at least one seige style conquest map. There used to be quite a few of them like wake island, gulf of oman, strike at karkand, operation clean sweep etc

[maiden sphinx]

Lol then id rather buy it on origin i guess

[simple linden]

so ill get it on origin anways

[simple linden]

yes, its also nice for brand new players who are not confident to get in mp right away

[ornate ingot]

I wonder if they remaster any maps later down the line like they did in bf4

[dim blade]

Uhh this sucks, literally no game i'm loooking forward to other than BF 2042

[simple linden]

unless you wanna put it on the table and to show off your massive steam library, i see little point in getting it on steam when it runs origin anyways lol

[dim blade]

October is so far away thooo

[pliant mauve]

battlefield 2042 developed add map 128 players 300 car

[pliant mauve]

oct/2027

[frosty patio]

@dim blade no it's not, trust me

[fresh river]

I understand the progression will be available when playing against AI. Wonder how that will work? How much different than full multiplayer events? Will we be able to set the difficulty up for the AI? So many questions.

[frosty patio]

If you've waited this long for the reveal, you can wait 4 months for the release easily

😄

[past pewter]

My brain hurts form reading that

[simple linden]

i guess youre gonna get less xp if you go in solo vs bots

so people dont exploit the game somehow and unlock everything in like 5 days

[past pewter]

I can’t wait for 4 months

[mighty holly]

Sadly some or most lads can’t wait for Friday

[simple linden]

cuz you know that there are gonna be people trying to find ways to exploit the game to unlock things faster

[mighty holly]

[fresh river]

Might depend on the difficulty of the AI.

[past pewter]

What’s Friday

[dim blade]

Anyone know a place where i can go to cryosleep and wake up in october?

[past pewter]

Nop

[simple linden]

there is a company that does that

cant remember their name tho

[fresh river]

True.

[dim blade]

I got money, i can literally go 4 months w/o working and i'll be fine

I just want to play battlefield

[simple linden]

xD

[past pewter]

I have a countdown on my nickname so we good

[simple linden]

sure, if they can figure out how to revive a body form cryosleep xDD

[dim blade]

I'm pretty sure a body can be revived

Just might cause brain damage

[simple linden]

nope

not yet at least

we dont have the tech

i believe that company already put some people in cryosleep

[pliant mauve]

btlf6 2050

[dim blade]

Which BF should i install while i wait?

[simple linden]

mostly people who have a terminal illness

[dim blade]

BC2/3/4/1?

Not 5

i dont like 5

[lusty musk]

1

[simple linden]

and they are waiting to make a cure in the future

[prime grove]

bf4

[dim blade]

3 and 4 are bae, 1 was pretty good

[past pewter]

Bf1 was a good game

[brittle bridge]

ay

[dim blade]

V was meh

[past pewter]

5 made my mind go insane

[brittle bridge]

1 was amazing

[simple linden]

5 had some good mechanics

[dim blade]

What i dont like about 1 and 5 is that they feel a lot less open

No takeoff and landing strips

[simple linden]

1 was good, but had things that i didnt like

[dim blade]

Maps are somewhat more linear

[simple linden]

i definitely like how they changed weapon mechanics in bf5

[past pewter]

1 was fun I liked it I got the rank I wanted and stopped but I think I’m going back to it

[simple linden]

hope they keep them for 2042

and im so glad that suppression is gone

[slender rose]

bf 4 is free for people with prime

check it out

campaign is like a 6/10

[simple linden]

5 not having it was a breath of fresh air

if only i could play any bf game atm 🙃

[slender rose]

im also glad they removed the ammo and health packs

those were so dumb

[simple linden]

cant play shit really xD

with the current gpu

[dim blade]

ill download 1

[simple linden]

hm, i didnt mind the attrition system that much

but i reckon it doesnt have a place in 2042

i like how they are trying to experiment with specialists

spice things up with the class system

[gusty jasper]

The specialists seem pretty cool

gives you more freedom

[prime grove]

if they are balanced I'm fine with it

[simple linden]

theres nothing wrong with 4 class system

[slender rose]

its not 4 classes

[simple linden]

but having a different spin on them is nice

[slender rose]

its like 10

[gusty jasper]

no

theres 4 classes

[simple linden]

i mean, assault, support, recon, engi

[slender rose]

they showed off 4 classes

they said there are 10

[versed gate]

there used to be 7, 10 probably wont be that bad

[simple linden]

there are still 4 classes

[gusty jasper]

10 specialists or 10 classes?

[simple linden]

but 10 specialists at launch

[slender rose]

i mean they arent overpowered and there is nothing that is soley unique to them other than gadgets

[gusty jasper]

there are 4 classes with specialists within each class

[simple linden]

like falck

she is under a support class

[slender rose]

no ultimates or anything either so its fine

[slender rose]

yeah im mistaken you are right

[simple linden]

and there will be another specialist under a support class

[gusty jasper]

Sundance looks fun

[simple linden]

and boris is under engi class

sundance is prob under assault class

[stiff pollen]

I’m guessing riot shield guy is second support op

[gusty jasper]

most likely

[slender rose]

i just hope they dont add a shield operator

[stiff pollen]

Deployable cover dude likely engineer

[slender rose]

that would suck

[stiff pollen]

They already did

[gusty jasper]

there is a shield dude

[stiff pollen]

[slender rose]

[gusty jasper]

i mean BF4 literally had a riot shield

and it wasnt broken

[stiff pollen]

BF4’s riot shield was pussy shit

[gusty jasper]

just shoot the legs

[stiff pollen]

Be afraid of hardlines

[gusty jasper]

even Hardline's was easy to counter

also it helps in Rush

[simple linden]

mackay and sundance are prob assault class

[mighty holly]

We need rooks riot shield from rainbow six siege

[gusty jasper]

I'd be down

its not like the fights in Battlefield are focused either

[mighty holly]

[gusty jasper]

holding a shield means little to nothing against like 10+ people

[tacit sphinx]

mackay is confirmed and yeah since assault seems to be like mobility i would say sundance most likely is assault as well

[iron flume]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[stiff pollen]

I could see riot shield guy be an assault but I doubt it

Think he’s support tbh

[tacit sphinx]

nah CoD style riot shield, can block a tactical nuke

[stiff pollen]

There’s also the spawn beacon recon guy

[prime grove]

even if bf2042 fails I don't think cod 2021 would be popular

[gusty jasper]

I'm so fucking glad 3-D spotting is nerfed

[simple linden]

oh he def a recon

if thats a spawn beacon

[stiff pollen]

No, people hate SHG

[tacit sphinx]

yeah beacon is definitely a recon i think

[gusty jasper]

3d spotting is easily the worst mechanic in battlefield

[simple linden]

i enjoyed the spotting mechanics in 5

[stiff pollen]

Dude CW mp is dead compared to MW

[tacit sphinx]

deployable cover most likely support or engineer, i’m not sure about riot shield

[simple linden]

glad that 5 didnt have doritos above your head

[steep maple]

Shoud I play battlefield 5, 4, or 1 right now

[fresh river]

Hardcore mode on these huge maps will be epic!

[stiff pollen]

Everybody is on warzone

[iron flume]

I dont get the controversy about specialists tbh, I honestly have one problem and it’s that I like the feeling of facing hundreds of different troops, whether I’m fighting with nameless faceless troops or against, that’s what gives it the battlefield feel. So as long as each specialist is extremely easily customizable it’s gonna be fine for me

[gusty jasper]

Dorito Shooting simulator

[iron flume]

I’d pre order that

[stiff pollen]

If the pattern continues I think vanguard will likely be dead within a month lol

[gusty jasper]

4 is the most alive

[simple linden]

i think the "controversy" is that they are named

[gusty jasper]

5 is pretty much dead

[simple linden]

and not nameless

[stiff pollen]

I mean Cod WW2 wasn’t even that liked on release

[simple linden]

and that they are changing the class formula

[iron flume]

I feel like having a name isn’t why people are saying that the gameplay mechanic will ruin the game

No way

[simple linden]

i mean, i saw both cases

[gusty jasper]

wow cod ww2... thats a title that died instantly

[stiff pollen]

I should know; I have 500 hours on it

[arctic grove]

Who on earth warned me for "sexual remarks" I literally wrote a paragraph against objectifying women in video games, especially the current trend in FPS games today.
And I praised battlefield for showing the female soldiers as, soldiers.
UNLIKE OTHER COMPETITORS.

[simple linden]

"EW, WHY ARE THEY NAMED", and "OMG THEY ARE TAKING THE COD APPROACH"

yes, im a bit worried as well

just cuz meta weapons can easily be made

[iron flume]

I honestly hate the name thing, the face thing, and the fact that you’ll see 100 canadian dudes with the same face, but that will effect a very small bit of gameplay, and even that won’t make the game bad

[simple linden]

but hopefully the + system and 127 other players will negate that effect

[iron flume]

Ive never understood the word meta

[kind thicket]

thats so meta

[fresh river]

I like the specialist approach at this point. I reserve the right to change my mind later though.

[simple linden]

yea, meta weapons will always exist, but now that problem can be blown out cuz now EVERYONE can take that weapon

[stiff pollen]

As long as they all have the same hit box

[gusty jasper]

the only cosmetic change i hate is 3rd person melee animations

[solar niche]

Well BF developers said today than rather than a class is more like a category now

[mighty holly]

Tbh I usually ignore the meta and chose what gun I like

[simple linden]

as opposed only a certain class can take it

[stiff pollen]

“Classes are now a suggestion”

[gusty jasper]

1st person animations are so much better

[stiff pollen]

[iron flume]

You made me spit my slightly weathered slightly oxidized waxed cut copper stairs

[copper fulcrum]

I like it when people say they're copying CoD but in reality they're copying both Rainbow Six and CoD

[iron flume]

SMe

[mighty holly]

[stiff pollen]

They’re copying Apex, Cod and Siege

[copper fulcrum]

I don't care what anyone says, I am using a fucking Revolver and only a Revolver

[mighty holly]

Like sure meta guns are nice to get them kills but using other guns are pog

[gusty jasper]

Imagine using the AEK/Glock for 8 years straight

couldnt be me

[upper sage]

is there key takeaways somewhere from the stream earlier?

[simple linden]

thats only my worry, like if they make an M4 variant really good

[frail sparrow]

first they copied COD(bf4/3), then fortnite (bfv) and now apex/rainbow six. i'd say dice are pretty damn good copycatters

[iron flume]

Ive been running 3x m1911 since the day it came out

[kind thicket]

ah yes, two very original game franchises

[simple linden]

and an AK to be eh, okay, then everyone will run with M4's

[stiff pollen]

There isn’t SBMM

[kind thicket]

at least dice innovates every game

[stiff pollen]

It’s a server browser

[fresh river]

I really feel that having the flexibility the specialist-based class system will bring is going to be more fun than not.

[kind thicket]

cod hasnt done anything original since zombies

[iron flume]

Oh right, will there be fortifications? I really hope so

[kind thicket]

even then, zombie game

[frail sparrow]

we haven't heard about them so far

[iron flume]

Dear god imagine Battlefield: Zombies

[simple linden]

i dont think forts are coming in 2042

[solar niche]

Now days is complicated to make something original

[mighty holly]

I mean

[frail sparrow]

i think bf42 won't have fortifications 😭

[iron flume]

Where did you hear that?

[kind thicket]

i read fonts

[gusty jasper]

Every FPS is a copy of another one, thinking certain features are exclusive to battlefield or COD is really dumb logic

[mighty holly]

in China battlefield online they had a zombie mode

[simple linden]

nowhere, its just my guess

it doesnt seem like they have a place

[frail sparrow]

every shooter ripped off DOOM from 90s

[iron flume]

Oh cool

[kind thicket]

levelution

[simple linden]

but i could be wrong

[mighty holly]

But it’s China and the game no longer exist

[iron flume]

Yeah but it was super fun

[gusty jasper]

destruction events are 100% not exclusive to Battlefield

[fresh river]

Vehicle game-play is much improved as well. A huge focus on team play with all vehicles. The load-outs that will be available sound like it will be a major change.

[kind thicket]

fortifications wasnt bad but they werent very stronk

[simple linden]

they are a nice addition in bf5

[kind thicket]

sauce

[simple linden]

i just dont think they are gonna come back for 2042

[stiff pollen]

Im fine with all class weapons, it’s an evolution of BF4’s all class weapons, but universal gadgets don’t sit right with me unless they’re very few and far between

[grim nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/battlefield2042-battlefield2042logo-battlefield-logo-battlefield-title-gif-21887745

[mighty holly]

[kind thicket]

never played a shooter where whole sections of the map change other than bf

[copper fulcrum]

Y'all forgot CoD Ghosts had some levolution

[stiff pollen]

Lol the bus falling?

[kind thicket]

fishy fishy go swim

[still vault]

[arctic grove]

so we got bf2042 so when is bf2077

[solar niche]

What about 2042 dlc´s? will they bring a BF3 or BF4 map in the future?

[simple linden]

doubt

[static tulip]

heyyo

[kind thicket]

i think they will

[simple linden]

those maps are way too small for 128 players

[static tulip]

anybody watched the battlefield briefing?

[gusty jasper]

The idea of levelutions comes from the idea of destruction events, battlefield only just implemented it in Multiplayer

[kind thicket]

mega overhauled

[simple linden]

yep yep

[kind thicket]

which game pioneered destruction events?

[stiff pollen]

I hope that class categories still have some gadgets locked to them, and not every gadget is available for every specialist

[solar niche]

i´d love to see back to karkand maps

[kind thicket]

bad company 2 amirite

[mighty holly]

[iron flume]

I feel like something that’s not emphasized but is something very true is deaths and kills don’t matter in the big picture, last night I was second in place with three kills and 8 deaths and the person in 3rd had 47 kills, all I did was revive and help teammates. I love fortifications in bfv so much because I could help out, reinforce and defend better and create much harder, dynamic and fun battles for both teams

[simple linden]

yea, pretty sure it was bc2

[gusty jasper]

There were a good amount of destruction events in campaign games

non-fps ones too

[kind thicket]

ah single player yeah

bf4 had some cool stuff

i hate google

[iron flume]

Holy shit you fucking killed him man

[gusty jasper]

YOU ROLLED AND SMOKED HIM BRO!!!!!111!!!

[kind thicket]

dont think 2d compares

[simple linden]

yea, you rack up points hella fast in bf5 by healing and reviving

[kind thicket]

not even a shooter but gang

[iron flume]

oHmYDGoDADouBleKIlLknxmJsjMzjdjsmzOOOOGABOOOGSOOOOOOGABOGA

[kind thicket]

what is this debate class lmao

[static tulip]

what's happening here

[kind thicket]

battlefield for sure didnt 'steal' levolution from a 1983 japanese side scroller

[soft kayak]

its a public execution

[iron flume]

H e l l

[kind thicket]

i havent even taken a stance on anything lmao

[iron flume]

Is there single player?

[stiff pollen]

We’rent action set pieces and destruction always a thing in games lol? You just couldn’t trigger them on your own

[iron flume]

I don’t mean campaign

[static tulip]

can't reinvent anymore

[iron flume]

But bot backed rounds or co op, anything not exclusively 20 or more vs 20 or more?

[raw aurora]

[soft kayak]

The earliest first-person shooter example may be Ghen War, released in 1995 for the Sega Saturn, which featured a 3D terrain map generator that allows fully destructible environments.[8] However, the trend to make more and more items and environmental features destroyable by the player hearkens all the way back to the explosive barrels in Doom (1993). Games like Blood II: The Chosen (1998) also featured major amounts of destroyable objects, in that game a room filled with objects could be turned into an empty room filled only with debris.

[kind thicket]

tormado mp seems pretty inventive to me

[simple linden]

i mean, theres not much to reinvent in an FPS game

[violet robin]

Was going to wait for the beta but honestly after reading today's info about the bots filling in the Official non-private servers and still having Coop and Solo Bot Matches as well I have pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition just now for Xbox Series X.

"Battlefield Mayhem 24/7" indeed because that is how much I will play it at this point :)

[iron flume]

Saying battlefield stole destruction physics is like saying ovens stole fire from the cavemen

[kind thicket]

but youre right every game concept has been explored

[static tulip]

it has a new game mode tho

[soft kayak]

vr is the next stop

[static tulip]

hazard zone

[simple linden]

you know what youre getting when youre buying an FPS game

[bold bridge]

Get the ultimate pack

😕

[static tulip]

and it it's not BR, confirmed at the battlefield briefing

[soft kayak]

every marketable game concept you mean

[simple linden]

you can only modify a formula at this point

[gusty jasper]

Split-Second is another example of levelutions... in a racing game

[kind thicket]

thats poggers

[gusty jasper]

literally 5 levelutions per map in Split-second

i think

[dusk bronze]

[soft kayak]

key word is right now.

[gusty jasper]

that game was ahead of its time

[kind thicket]

sorry for 'moving the goal posts' but i was referring to multiplayer shooters. I love these examples of games i havent heard of, split second looks really cool

[upper sage]

i could never do vr, hate how it makes your face sweat

[static tulip]

nahh

[soft kayak]

I mean if you limit it to multiplayer you kinda loose any ground saying dice started it.

[simple linden]

look at halo infinite as an example, its a halo game, you know what youre gonna get, an arena style fps shooter

[iron flume]

Is there gonna be co op, bot fighting or training ground type gameplay that we know of

[simple linden]

and they just improve on the formula

[soft kayak]

idk man I may get a titanfall clone with p2w loot boxes

[solar niche]

I hope they bring back the unorthodox weapons like crossbow or the phantom bow

[soft kayak]

bring back the lil pistol

[simple linden]

lol

loot boxes are a thing of the past nowadays

[soft kayak]

Im ranking on halo 5

[solar niche]

That would be cool

[topaz crown]

Really looking forward to AI Support, will they fly jets? Will they drive vehicles, tanks etc? I really hope so

[iron flume]

I want payday style weapons, can we have the comically large golden spoon that we got for payday a while back? God the people who make that game are genius

[simple linden]

battle pass system is the new loot box system

[soft kayak]

• tank gets stolen by a literal bot

[kind thicket]

aw shit here we go again

[topaz crown]

Not a fan of AI?

[kind thicket]

quite the oppsite, read msg history

[soft kayak]

for the record: most companies can make good AI. They choose not to cause nobody wants to loose to ai.

[stiff pollen]

“Can we rebalance the class system”
“Only a spoonful”
pulls out comically large spoon

[dusk bronze]

or op kick your ass😂

[kind thicket]

lots of talk today about ai

[solar niche]

I herd that AI fights in 2042 will be a solo mode simulating a multiplayer match so you can "practice"

but im not sure

[upper sage]

AI can be good, insurgency sandstorm bots are pretty good

[soft kayak]

they fill in empty player slots

[stiff pollen]

Ai matches have full progressions, it’s an evolution of instant action in SWBF2 basically

[simple linden]

AI can always be made to be better than a player

but thats not fair now, is it

[soft kayak]

I hope the bots at least know how to spot

[kind thicket]

i heard the AI became sentient and is holding dice employees hostage

[grim nacelle]

all depends tbh, if they are veteran AI's that can actually help and take down vehicles, then I am fine with it

[soft kayak]

if bots know how to spot theyd be more useful than most human teammates

[kind thicket]

on god

[versed gate]

we need ai to be able to chat spam

[soft kayak]

-ai proceeds to jihad jeep

[stoic summit]

The game ends and every bot sends "gg"
128 ggs flood the chat

[versed gate]

magnificent

[simple linden]

i wonder how big the game will be

gotta be over 100gb, right

[arctic grove]

Wheres the campaign summer?

[soft kayak]

if the bots cant call me a racial slur then they arent accurate

[solar niche]

Can´t wait for the AI to chase me all the way across the map so I´ll give it an ammo box

[simple linden]

150gb maybe?

[static tulip]

[static tulip]

300

[topaz crown]

Well as long as they can provide a human experience like fly jets etc I'll be happy, even if they just ground I'll still be happy, I'm very pleased they announced AI Support

[kind thicket]

psn leak was 60gb iirc, i think 100 sounds about right tho

[stoic summit]

300 is too high lol

[static tulip]

haha

[simple linden]

nah, not 300 you crazy xDD

150gb max

[versed gate]

how big is BFV ?

[solar niche]

Well Stalker 2 is 180 GB and is a full next gen game

[simple linden]

even thats pushing it

90+

[stoic summit]

Wouldn't be surprising if COD has a 300gb update tho

[solar niche]

So something close to that perhaps less

[dusk bronze]

60gb rn

[topaz crown]

The guy mentioned Breakthrough with AI, that's awesome, something I wanted in BF1 / BF5

[simple linden]

60gb is too little

[static tulip]

bf4 is 40+GB

[simple linden]

for 2042 size

[topaz crown]

CoD is legit becoming trash

[soft kayak]

yes but thats stalker 2. Its probably earned that file size

[dusk bronze]

150gb

[versed gate]

im gonna guess maybe 50% above BFV size

[simple linden]

the maps are huge

[stoic summit]

Yeh I'd say it'd be around 100...maybe a little more

[simple linden]

maybe 100gb on launch

[static tulip]

No COD here

[soft kayak]

and have unique asset sets.

[simple linden]

later on close to 150

[solar niche]

you´re right my bad

[stoic summit]

BF1 takes 81gb on the drive

[simple linden]

keep in mind that theres no sp as well

[stoic summit]

and this game will likely be bigger than BF1...but it also lacks a campaign...hmmm

[dusk bronze]

I see picture show 60gb lol

[simple linden]

so 2042 being over 150gb is highly unlikelyt

[spark acorn]

Bigger than MW2019 👀

[topaz crown]

I just hope no BR at all, none

[static tulip]

no need for CAMPAIGN

[stoic summit]

Yes I think the lack of SP can reduce file size by a good bit

[simple linden]

the game is 4 months away, i'd take that number with a huge grain of salt

[spark acorn]

Yeah, BF games are usually well optimised, so definitely.

[static tulip]

it has no BR

[solar niche]

No Brazilians?

[spark acorn]

^ battle royale baby

[spark acorn]

no, you're going to brazil

[topaz crown]

Good, we got enough BRs getting boring now

[solar niche]

noooooooooooooooooo

[upper sage]

I liked the campaign for the exclusive weapon & tag unlocks

[simple linden]

no chance the game will be smaller than bf5

[dusk bronze]

br wont be in game

[static tulip]

there will be a new mode called "Hazard Zone"

[simple linden]

so 60gb is almost impossible

even without sp

[spark acorn]

The Hazard Zone is like escape from tarkov from what Jackfrags said.

[stoic summit]

Maybe it's in the name...2042 -> 204.2gb??

[solar niche]

Alredy confirmed is not a battle royale thank the gods

[simple linden]

lol

[topaz crown]

The way they explained it sounds fun, I'm excited to see Dice LA 22nd of July to hear theres

[spark acorn]

Yeah obviously, what made u think that. I'm just saying BR cuz somebody here doesn't know what 'BR' means.

[topaz crown]

Oh hell yeah

[simple linden]

we are gonna get a huge info dump on 22nd july

[spark acorn]

So a little BR element in it, but not a true Battle Royale.

[kind thicket]

inb4 map maker

[dusk bronze]

60 gb rn later will be bigger

[upper sage]

wouldn't be surprised, takov has no competition right now

[simple linden]

even bf5 wasnt 60gb on launch i think

[arctic grove]

Huh?
Yeah, COD approach is bad, so far as I said, Battlefield is showing them as Soldiers, just like that Maria operator.

[static tulip]

Dude, I hope it's the beta or at least close to that

hehe

[spark acorn]

i honestly don't mind the specialist system

[stoic summit]

Maybe one day...there will be a 128 player BF 2042 LAN game

[topaz crown]

Oh I'm fine with that, just a smudge but nothing true BR please

[topaz crown]

I do too

[stiff pollen]

That’s what ea play would be if uh THAT wasn’t a thing

[simple linden]

i mean, thats just whats ive been seeing as negative opinions about specialists

im happy that they want to experiment a bit

[topaz crown]

So, thoughts on skins, a MilSim experience of skins or stupid Bunny outfits?

[spark acorn]

uhh u make it sound soooo weird

[kind thicket]

bunny outfits for sure

[stoic summit]

Content creators will most likely be playing the game in July so maybe the beta would come around then

[spark acorn]

first one

[simple linden]

i wouldnt want to see fortnite style skins lol

[arctic grove]

This is a shooter game about all out warfare that never included garbage content like that, if you're an R34 nissan race car film addict you can stick to that and keep it out of our damn game.

[static tulip]

I just want to play generic soldiers hehe

[solar niche]

I don´t understand the whole drama about the operators is a tiny bunch in a 128 match with giant vehicles, i think is a cool feature but not so relevant

[spark acorn]

Maybe, I think it'll be later because Battlefield Open Betas usually occur around September.

[simple linden]

huh?

[stiff pollen]

Closed alpha sent to testers is always after a full unveiling, beta is usually soon after

[kind thicket]

i hope i can play as fortnite guy

[arctic grove]

Me neither.

[stiff pollen]

I mind the balancing decisions they are making but if this game is fun who the hell cares then

[spark acorn]

But you make it sound so bad, like I don't care about their stories/etc, I just want to play their gadgets.

[simple linden]

the conversation was about why certain people didnt like the specialist system

[topaz crown]

Totally agree, I want to see a proper MilSim experience like Sandstorm when it comes to skins, no paid bunny outfit xD

[stoic summit]

Ahh I see. That means there could be a closed beta around July and an Open one later on

[spark acorn]

Oh I see.

[arctic grove]

Ohh ok, I thought you were tryna say "its ok let them include objectified skins, what are you some kind of virgin? xd"

[stoic summit]

We will just have to wait and see

[arctic grove]

but nevermind

COD doesn't really have specialists, just operators to customize and perks.

[simple linden]

and the comments i saw was "why are they named, i want them no named" and "they are taking the cod approach with specialists"

i think its a great idea

[arctic grove]

There's no gadgets like R6 siege.

Battlefield is getting gadgets.

[spark acorn]

People complain too much for something they haven't even tried yet. I understand their frustration from COD, but they do realize they'll get over it quickly.

[simple linden]

it will spice up the class system a bit

[arctic grove]

Like the grappling hook and wingsuit.

[solar niche]

Well i know there will be cosmetics and battle pass still i don´t think it will be bad like the COD Christmas cookies outfit

[arctic grove]

christmas what now?

[spark acorn]

COD is just weird.

[stoic summit]

I'm sure once everyone tries it, it'll feel more natural and it'll be fun (I hope)

[topaz crown]

So true, just hope there's skins in the pass that are true MilSim style

[kind thicket]

again, i dont see an issue with the paid bunny outfit

[arctic grove]

generic soldier, AKA classical battlefield approach with normal looking soldiers

[arctic grove]

WHAT

[violet robin]

Yes. Not only will they fill out unused slots in the Official non-private servers we will also have dedicated Coop and Singleplayer Modes for the Conquest and Breakout modes at the very least.

Hopefully DICE LAs mode as well :)

[topaz crown]

Agreed, I pre-ordered Cold War and I regret it

[simple linden]

at least people wont moan now "why are women in war"

at least i hope

[topaz crown]

So I'd be able to get a friend or two with me, with AI on our side an the whole of the enemy side?

[kind thicket]

i, fow onye, enjoy wowepwaying a sussy baka wabi-giww heawing hew comwades in exchange fow tummy wubs

[spark acorn]

🤮

[arctic grove]

What the hell is the "christmas cookie operator" I've played Warzone since August this never showed up in season 6.

[kind thicket]

i may have smoked too much porlat today

[solar niche]

I think it was in black ops 3 or 4

[spark acorn]

After like season 5, COD has started selling a bunch of weird skins.

[slender rose]

please dont preorder until at least the beta

[spark acorn]

There's a female character with a wedding gown as a skin.

[topaz crown]

It was in Cold War in 2020 Christmas

For Woods

[simple linden]

\LOL

[static tulip]

DON'T PRE-ORDER

[spark acorn]

They can always cancel it though.

[slender rose]

can they?

[solar niche]

I already pre ordered Gold edition and sometimes I miss my liver

[slender rose]

im pretty sure you cant refund pre orders

[stoic summit]

haha they knew that standard looking skins wouldn't continue selling so they decided to spice things up

[simple linden]

pretty sure you can

[rocky apex]

Lads can we move the conversation back to #battlefield-2042 or move it to #other-games please .

[sinful cove]

whens the beta out?

[topaz crown]

Wonder if we still get a 10 hour free trail if you're an EA member?

[arctic grove]

im waiting for the open beta then decide if i wanna preorder

[slender rose]

yeah

[rocky apex]

We don't have any information on that yet! Only the release date is known so far, I'm guessing we get more information after EA Play.

[spark acorn]

Not confirmed yet.

[arctic grove]

OCT 15 i believe

[rocky apex]

That's release if you have gold or ultimate edition.

[simple linden]

oct15th is the release date for preorders

gold and ultimate

[spark acorn]

same, but if u did now the game would be buggy as hell and lots of missing content heh

[simple linden]

maybe they are gonna be super nice and give us a beta during EA play

[still vault]

This subject has been done to death. Change the subject.

[static tulip]

that's good man, as long as you enjoy it.

[topaz crown]

So true, 4 month or so is so long to wait :(

[spark acorn]

That would be cool 😎

[stoic summit]

which is why I should test it right now 😅

[simple linden]

they did kinda drop the ball on bf5 there

[spark acorn]

Either become a DICE playtester as a job, orrrr become a popular youtube content creator/twitch creator 😦

[topaz crown]

lol

[simple linden]

22nd for normal players

[arctic grove]

july 22 is so far what the fuck

[kind thicket]

theyre hiring testers?

[rocky apex]

22nd/23rd of October depending on your timezone!

[kind thicket]

[stoic summit]

Time to get to work then!

[arctic grove]

What's wrong with it? COD has always been ridiculous.

resllt

[spark acorn]

ikr, but theres bazilions of games, just play play play until we get there

[simple linden]

4 months is gonna fly by

[spark acorn]

yo yo rip

[arctic grove]

@simple linden i hopr not

i want time to be stable

[simple linden]

You can always repeat a year just for Battlefield

[spark acorn]

aye at least I get to finish school for the rest of my life and now work full-time and play whenever I want

My message was deleted? Could you inform me what exactly I am saying that is against the rules so that I don't repeat it? Cause I really can't tell from vague mod mail answers.

I don't think we're gonna be on the right foot otherwise and you'll end up banning me from "repeated" offences I don't understand.

[static tulip]

pre order is already on

[spark acorn]

That's Xbox Series X version.

[arctic grove]

is there any news on recommended specs for BF2042 or have they not said anything about that either?

This is afterall a discord server and I'm not talking to a dice employee.

[simple linden]

no specs im afraid

[spark acorn]

Other platforms will have different download sizes.

!!specs

[tender pendant]

Currently there are no official PC specifications released by DICE for Battlefield 2042.
Any specs floating around the internet are just assumptions or rumors.

[iron flume]

Oh that’s awesome! Thanks for informing me! So it’ll kinda be like instant action or co op from battlefront 2 then I’m guessing

[rocky apex]

Take this conversation to @clear spade please! As stated in #500058972234055710 and #info this isn't the place to discuss this.

[solar niche]

perhaps this july

[arctic grove]

nice

[simple linden]

possible

we will get a huge info dump during EA play

[old egret]

[short flare]

Read the briefing and it was pretty cool, still trying to find out if it will be possible to play solo with AI bots offline at launch or if internet connection is 100% required.

[kind thicket]

retweet

[still vault]

As I mentioned, that subject has been done to death and always results in the chat getting toxic.

[rocky apex]

[nova idol]

Yeah on july 22nd

Like E3 just more evil

[simple linden]

xD

[arctic grove]

I don't recall seeing you reply to me or address me whatsoever, so I did not witness you mention anything, kind moderator.

[static tulip]

hopefully they showed the one that is closer to the release

[old egret]

WHAT HAPPENS ON 22ND OF JUlY

[simple linden]

tbf, ea isnt what it used to be

[short flare]

We shall see, hoping for the best.

[stoic summit]

The Xbox Series X/S pre order site says file size is 100.03gb so I assume PC will be around there too

[solar niche]

Reveal BF 42 with Roman soldiers

[simple linden]

they give more creative freedom nowadays

[old egret]

Ok thanks

[topaz crown]

If I pre-order the Series X Edition, will I get beta for Xbox One too?

[stoic summit]

True lol

[simple linden]

well, if 100gb is true, it lines up with my expectations

[spark acorn]

cross-gen bundle?

[static tulip]

yes i think. it has cross-gen bundle

[topaz crown]

More money lol

[still vault]

Well, now you know.

[old egret]

Because my friend said it came out on 22nd of July so I got scared

[rocky apex]

Purchases seem to be platform exclusive (price difference between previous and current gen). No cross platform there from what we can tell.

[arctic grove]

Ah I see, apologies.

[ionic yarrow]

Anyone know about availability of the Specialists post launch? Like if they are something I am given or is it going to be I have to play for a couple hundreds of hours just to unlock them or end up shoveling out money to use new ones that are not given right off the bat? I ask because "Year 1 Pass: 4 New Specialists (1 per Season)" makes it seems like they are not all going to be available.
I fear because... EA.

[topaz crown]

Thank you, @static tulip, @spark acorn

[topaz crown]

Thank you

[spark acorn]

No problem.

[kind thicket]

beta is open access innit

[solar niche]

Well Gold edition brings both versions in a bundle

[spark acorn]

Free access to everyone.

[simple linden]

beta will be open

[frail sparrow]

need golde dition atleast for crossgen bundle

[simple linden]

but those who preordered will get early access to the beta

[rocky apex]

Oh really, that's nice.

[spark acorn]

Not confirmed yet.

[stoic summit]

but there will some days of the beta that only pre orders will have access too

[simple linden]

my guess that those who preordered will get a day or two extra of playtime

[old egret]

15th October

[static tulip]

the gold and ultimate edition users will have early access to open beta

[simple linden]

thats usually the case

[spark acorn]

Correctomondo

[static tulip]

but yea it's open

[stoic summit]

Yep

[dusk bronze]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/battlefield-2042-gold-edition-xbox-one-xbox-series-x-s/9pk077np44x2?activetab=pivot:overviewtab this page say 100gb on xbox lol

[simple linden]

wdym

[arctic grove]

[frail sparrow]

open beta will be for everyone yes, regardless whether you proerdeored or bought the game

[simple linden]

oh nvm

read wrong xd

[solar niche]

I saw many vehicles in the gameplay but here´s my question what about AC130?

[old egret]

Like I said 15th October i think

[solar niche]

Big plane goes BRRRR i need it back

[rocky apex]

15th of October is launch date for pre-orders with gold and ultimate edition.

[simple linden]

yes, but those who preordered will get early access to open beta, usually a day or two before its open to everyone

[frail sparrow]

uhu

[arctic grove]

Fine I won't open it again if that's the case.
But if I catch any of y'all cod refugees encouraging my battlefield franchise to become like Warzone, you're getting a gouging eyeful.
#KeepBattlefieldTactical

[frail sparrow]

gold and ultimate also have early access to normal launch

nah, it will be only for a couple of weeks/week

[old egret]

Oh well 10hrs

[solar niche]

Usually is for a couple of days maybe 3 or 4

[old egret]

I have standard

[simple linden]

but i believe only gold and ultimate will get early access to beta, not sure about standard, but could be wrong

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/i-got-my-eye-on-you-i-see-you-i-got-you-popoviach-key-and-peele-gif-13844641

Im wanting to know the reccomened specs tbh I hope thats revealed on the 22nd

[lofty sparrow]

is there a date on beta?

[stoic summit]

They all get early access to the beta

[rocky apex]

Then you get to play the on the 22nd of October!

[simple linden]

oh okay, then

no date on beta

[rocky apex]

Not yet!

[simple linden]

prob in august

[old egret]

Thanks can't wait

[simple linden]

maybe july if dice is nice enough xd

[lofty sparrow]

the hype is real

kill cam

[topaz crown]

So hyped on this BF

[simple linden]

oh and you can jump in open beta, right when we finish this coverage

would be cool

[stoic summit]

I'm making a time machine to skip 1 month 5 days and 17 hours. Making the time machine may take around 1 month and 5 days tho

[rocky apex]

Their servers would die hahaha

[solar niche]

Will the game have executions? like different knife animations?

[placid bridge]

I low key feel that coming

[rocky apex]

So many people will be watching EA play

[simple linden]

yep XD

[static tulip]

yea, it's in the gameplay trailer. not sure about different animations tho

[placid bridge]

They were really hyping up what they have coming for the 22nd stream

[topaz crown]

Hope they have enough servers for day 1

[dusk bronze]

yes

[solar niche]

[simple linden]

EA servers will crash on day 1

100%

[topaz crown]

Yes, saw this in the Gameplay Trailer

[placid bridge]

pfft what do you mean origin is the best launcher ever

[stoic summit]

It probably will 😭

[static tulip]

I need that cross-gen bundle

damn

[simple linden]

heck, they crash when a new apex season launches xD

[spark acorn]

Just like Modern warfare at launch.

[simple linden]

let alone BF 2042

[solar niche]

Remember BF4 early days with the broken net code

[rocky apex]

I really hope DICE doesn't do anything like Apex did

[spark acorn]

Like?

[frail sparrow]

what did apex do?

[soft kayak]

like what?

[simple linden]

in what way?

[rocky apex]

Apex got a really good price on hosting by EA

[topaz crown]

With that price of the Ultimate, should get a package of BF gear delivered to us

[rocky apex]

Like a 5 year contract or something

[spark acorn]

Oh.

[rocky apex]

Which results in frequent subpar/underwhelming server experience

But they have to host on EA servers

[simple linden]

dice is under ea

[rocky apex]

I've forgotten the jist of the deal but it's no bueno for us, the consumers

[simple linden]

so...

[solar niche]

Well BF 2042 already has pathfinder so heres hoping

[soft kayak]

not every company under EA has the same deal with them

[frail sparrow]

considering bfv was fully ea servers only, i doubt that will change :<

[arctic grove]

this is pin point accurate

[simple linden]

usually they are on EA's servers nonetheless

[rocky apex]

EA cheaps out on hosting relative to what Apex would probably spend

Hence it being a good deal for them at the time

Not expecting the growth they've gone through since launch

I think they did say that they will make servers the way it has been in 4

[rocky apex]

[static tulip]

community servers wooo

[solar niche]

We are Doomed

[topaz crown]

Servers better not be paid for like they were in 3

[static tulip]

with bikini posters

[spark acorn]

Yeah, they honestly expected like 100,000 players, not over a million at launch lol.

[rocky apex]

Are there even still official Battlefield 4 servers? All of it looks self hosted by the community hahaha

[static tulip]

24/7

[spark acorn]

Yeah, all community.

Can't find a single BF4 official server from where I am.

[rocky apex]

Me neither

[void carbon]

Same in EU

[static tulip]

it keeps the game alive

[valid onyx]

Now the question is

The price

Prices*

[grand kelp]

I think there’s some official EA servers still up

[rocky apex]

Good to know I'm not the only one postponing bed time

[frail sparrow]

60, 90, 110 in euroes

[grand kelp]

I’ve seen them not too frequently

[valid onyx]

Jesus

[valid onyx]

Go to bed

It is good for you

🩴

[topaz crown]

Hell no and I have work tomorrow too :(

[simple linden]

tbh, we are lucky that games are still 60e

due to inflation

games should be 80e

[formal oyster]

all nighters on release

[simple linden]

if you factor in inflation

[valid onyx]

Bruh inflation in America is worse

Beef is up like

4%

Where I am anyways

[grand kelp]

Except for next gen, where some games are $70

[topaz crown]

Week of work, actually a year will do

[solar niche]

I get to find a few official servers but mostly I see bf4 community server with a hot chick or a mislim banner

[rocky apex]

My schedule be doodoo because I live in Europe but I work with Americans on the east coast (-6 hours).

[valid onyx]

Hey, im on the East Coast

[somber hinge]

[grand kelp]

Hah, you must be on the weird side of BF4

[void carbon]

ye bro gotta get up to work in 4 hours but shhh

[rocky apex]

Been there done that hahaha

[topaz crown]

I'm so hyped on BF I can't sleep lol

[valid onyx]

That is why I want to become a psychologist and make a private practice

Cause I make my own schedule 😎

Like an absolute chad

[solar niche]

Is that a BF4 dog tag?

[simple linden]

2042 is the only game that excited me in a long time

its been a hot minute since a brand new game hyped me a lot

[valid onyx]

I wonder if 2042 will get as popular as other games like Warzone

[rocky apex]

Uh, don't think so? Was referring to staying up late and having little sleep because of work.

[void carbon]

The thing im worried, is magically increasing ammo by switching ammo type (vector in the elevator on gameplay trailer) any thoughts on that?

[valid onyx]

Cause Battlefield V kinda died in like

2019

Or something

[wheat yew]

""With Specialists, we're excited to offer our players more flexibility than ever before when it comes to customizing their loadouts and adapting to situations on the battlefield," says Daniel Berlin, Design Director on Battlefield 2042."

[static tulip]

bf 2042 is just farrrrr

[rocky apex]

I make my own schedule only that freedom is ruined by external contractors and other meetings

[valid onyx]

Damn tf you do

[grand kelp]

I’m so interested in the lore of the game

[formal oyster]

@valid onyx that was mostly beccause bfv was a terrible game

[valid onyx]

Let me guess

Construction

[wheat yew]

Could they not do that with generic characters?

[simple linden]

well, the drum mag has 50 rounds

[rocky apex]

Let's move to #general

[wheat yew]

Instead of 'developed persons'?

[valid onyx]

Yeah probably

[void carbon]

ye but spare ammo got increased aswell u know

[simple linden]

hadn't noticed

[void carbon]

It went from 21/63 to 50/150

[solar niche]

Well I found it there is a BF4 beta tester dog tag with the phrase

[simple linden]

maybe he got an ammo bag in the elevator xD

[wheat yew]

Could be just a small oversight

I don't think that's gonna be a part of design

[simple linden]

he prob got an ammo bag at some point

[void carbon]

yeah like direction 400 on compass

[simple linden]

between the + system showing off and on top of the elevator

[wheat yew]

There's no visual representation of ammo/medical bags, but we know they're gonna be a part of the game

Oh, yeah that could be possible

No wait

In the trailer they get 51/153 in the elevator

[void carbon]

well im also really damn curious about driving civil cars, since i saw that guy driving a toyota pickup on orbital

[old egret]

So when I bought the standard edition of battlefield 2042 it said beta included so I was lied too

[wheat yew]

Like immediately after switching the thing

[formal oyster]

@old egret it is included

[void carbon]

pretty hyped to get onto some sort of ferrari in quatar 😂

[simple linden]

beta will come at a later date

[void carbon]

Maybe thats why they hired team that made NFS 😂

[simple linden]

hm, prob just an oversight

[old egret]

Nah people say for gold and ultimate edition only

[static tulip]

HYPED, I need team play again

love working with squad

[formal oyster]

@old egret thats for early access for game release

[simple linden]

everyone will be able to experience the beta

its an open beta

[formal oyster]

^

[wheat yew]

It better be an oversight, that'd be silly if it weren't

[simple linden]

but those who preordered will get early launch to open beta

[void carbon]

yes, that got me really oh no moment

[static jay]

yep

[soft kayak]

-no grappling hooks
-no shotgun
-no stinger
-no c4
-no killing the admin
-I can switch you whenever I want

[old egret]

Oh so they get early

[static tulip]

woop

[static jay]

[void carbon]

well at least argentina got it cheap

[formal oyster]

@old egret for full game release yes, not the open beta

[wheat yew]

I never understood the hate that shotguns got

[void carbon]

i mean the game 😂

[simple linden]

everyone who preordered any version gets early access to open beta

who preordered gold and ultimate gets 1 week early launch

[wheat yew]

Like yeah shotguns are 'easy' in cqb but as soon as you're just a small distance away you're absolutely doomed

[formal oyster]

@old egret as long as u preordered, you will get the beta early

[void carbon]

Those skins are also sexy tho

[simple linden]

i hope vehicles drive real nice

and not like crap like in previous bf's

xD

[void carbon]

Same they praised it in the briefing so i'd say so

[wheat yew]

I'm curious to find out whether there'll be 'Company Coins' or some similar thing, for purchasing cosmetics

[simple linden]

tanks felt fine in bf5, but other light vehicles were pure doo doo to drive

[void carbon]

And they mentioned some sort of sub frostbite engine specially for drivin vechicles

[simple linden]

criterion and new physics system better fix this xD

[old egret]

Ye I have

[static tulip]

can't wait to try the new "Hazard Zone"

[void carbon]

just gimme kaleidoscope and im all good

Siege of Shangai vet here 😂

[arctic grove]

Me and the bois c4ing the tornado

[tender forge]

Can join Beta ?

[wheat yew]

Honestly it is really kinda sad, the monetisation that happens in full-priced games

[simple linden]

hard to say, cuz through paid battlepass you will unlock cosmetics

[grand kelp]

As long as you pre-ordered

[wheat yew]

And knowing EA, I assume like 50% of the cosmetic content will be locked behind a paywall

[simple linden]

the thing is, they have to monetize a live service game

otherwise the game cant have long term support

[void carbon]

Yeah, well nothing can bit ubi battlepass for r6 😂 they dont even give u same ammount of money u put into it where in apex or warzone u get em back

[simple linden]

thats early access to beta, its an open beta

[void carbon]

also it has been mentioned that they will invite veteran players to play alpha

[simple linden]

bf5's support was cut a year and a half earlier

[soft kayak]

only 50
what a dream that would be

[pliant mauve]

stemper

[simple linden]

prob because they didnt have the funds to support it

rightly so, cuz the cosmetics were trash in bf5

for the most part

[formal furnace]

as long as I don't have to pay real money for certain maps or guns, im fine with it

[wheat yew]

Maps will be free for all

[simple linden]

content is free for everyone

[void carbon]

excuse me what?

[wheat yew]

Most content that has substance will be free I think, if not all

[simple linden]

just cosmetics are in paid battle pass

[wheat yew]

Maps, guns, attachments etc

[soft kayak]

the ironic part about the whole tacticool crap was that the authentic uniforms looked the best anyway. Authenticity aside, theyre the only uniforms not overly designed

[void carbon]

i think that battlepass will let you get em sooner, or smth just like in warzone

[valid onyx]

You know EA

[void carbon]

or maybe u will get em from the getgo

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 2042 is better than cyberpunk 2077

[grand kelp]

Aah, alright

[simple linden]

i mean the way battle pass works, you earn levels

[soft kayak]

EA has been raking it in with live service games

[valid onyx]

Did BFV have that? Where you needed to pay for guns?

[soft kayak]

no

[wheat yew]

I think that BF2042 is gonna sell pretty well, to the point that they totally wouldn't have to monetise cosmetics in order to provide long-terms support.

[simple linden]

and depending if you have a free or paid battle pass, it depends if you unlock cosmetics

[valid onyx]

Damn I was missing out then

[grand kelp]

No

[formal furnace]

its only a week before the actual release, doesn't seem worthwhile

[latent acorn]

Don't get hype too much, unless you have PS5

[soft kayak]

[formal furnace]

we would have already waited months for the game

[wheat yew]

You unlocked weapons with Company Coin, which you accrued over time. Or of course you could pay money to get more.

[valid onyx]

I am still shocked that PS5's are still inflated as hell

[simple linden]

thats the game launch, and only gold and ultimate preorders get a week before launch

for open beta, every preorder gets early access

[livid falcon]

I'm not

[soft kayak]

no you couldnt. CC wasnt purchasable

[void carbon]

yeah and i hope cosmetics would be lil better than BF4 but not like warzone... honestly i dont wanna see some guy painted in lets say pink running around on BF

[formal furnace]

im definitely not spending any money on gold or ultimate editions

[brave flare]

@formal furnace The aug 15 access is just for the early launch, we also get early beta

[livid falcon]

you could run around with a pink armband in bf4

[void carbon]

different mil cammos would be perfect

[old egret]

For gold and ultimate how early can u actually get to play the game

[grand kelp]

A week early

[valid onyx]

I hope we get an air assault like gamemode like BF1

[soft kayak]

it would be suicidal to wear that anyway.

[valid onyx]

For 2042

[old egret]

K

[simple linden]

if you plan on buying battle passes, i reckon gold will be the most worthwhile version

[grand kelp]

You mean Air Superiority in BF3?

[soft kayak]

Anyone who wears bright colors in bf is asking to be shot

[valid onyx]

I have only played Battlefield 1 like a scrub

[void carbon]

true that, but u know fortnite players heheheheheh they do like this stuff -.-

[grand kelp]

Vro

[old egret]

Bf v is good

[soft kayak]

fortnight is extremely colorful to the point where it doesnt make a difference

[mellow rover]

Made to give you the feel of a slot machine.

[valid onyx]

Fornite is blindingly vibrant for me

[simple linden]

with gold, you get 4 battle passes

[void carbon]

and if they will wanna to catch some kids money they would surely do that...
Well it did good in warzone so i hope EA is not looking up to Activision in that aspect please

[valid onyx]

Makes me lowkey nauseated

[soft kayak]

Probably not considering it was based on a survival game with the same art style.

Its just cartoony

[grand kelp]

Well, BFV is pretty grounded to the theme of the era, in terms of cosmetic

[old egret]

I love in about 10 years time this game will be 5 dollars lol

[valid onyx]

BF1 is kinda low on content imo

[mellow rover]

Yeah I didn't like the style at all.. wasn't for me.

[valid onyx]

Especially if you don't have the premium pass

[soft kayak]

-flaming people
-Christmas cosmetics
-phantom of the opera and tom cruise

[grand kelp]

Maybe some aren’t

[old egret]

Same with bf 4

[versed gate]

thankfully there should be bots for those 128 player battles

[valid onyx]

Really?

I thought BF4 had a lot of content

[soft kayak]

hell a good amount of the items were from the cold war. The german trench coat is from the 70s for example.

[spark acorn]

Yeah there will be I heard, like in titanfall 2 multiplayer.

[old egret]

Yea hopefully

[mellow rover]

Yeah maybe that is why you have these generic grunts and specialists.. the grunts are basically bots.

[valid onyx]

I hope you can filter out bots in certain servers

[void carbon]

I hope they will have quality intelligence tho

[versed gate]

Titanfall 2 has bots? I played a bit but never noticed

[valid onyx]

Personally I don't want to have AI players in all of my matches

[mellow rover]

Yeah if not, that would be terrible.

[spark acorn]

Yeah because the grunts don't do much damage to you lol.

[valid onyx]

There is two kinds of AI player

The trashy

And the aimbot

[grand kelp]

German have trench coat in WW2

[soft kayak]

the bots were infantry and robots scattered around. Works well in that game

[void carbon]

and nothing in between lmao

[valid onyx]

Very correct

[wheat yew]

Yeah I mean EA made $4.8bn in 2017 (around BF1) and had about $3.8bn in expenses. They totally don't need BF monetisation to do long term support.

[versed gate]

It must have been a while since i played, ill have to check it out again

[mellow rover]

Like in Insurgency sandstorm, either they miss it all or you get instakilled

[soft kayak]

yes. But that specific coat, a long with many other items, was post war. The authentic trench coat didnt arrive until the summer update

[old egret]

Sniping is bf4, and bfV, is terrible so pls do sniping good in battlefield 2042

[valid onyx]

I play Onward VR and you can choose how hard bots are

[spark acorn]

They got Apex to make all that weird skins for money anyways.

[simple linden]

for a live service game, you need a steady cash flow

[valid onyx]

The highest difficulty they just kill you 10 miles away without you seeing them

Crazy stuff

[dusk bronze]

will do the same Hazard=Warzone I heard hazard will be f2p

[grand kelp]

Ah, gotcha

[simple linden]

the battle pass system is the least predatory system to have long term support for the game

[void carbon]

ah aimbot bots reminds me of early tarkov glukhar lmao, those nades tho those fookin nades

[wheat yew]

But it's probably because EA is milking FIFA so hard, that's their main money cow, so like.... if Battlefield 2042 doesn't have paid cosmetics, it would be basically subsidised by other games' microtransactions

[spark acorn]

Nah, I heard Hazard Zone is like Escape from Tarkov from what Jackfrags said.

[valid onyx]

I wonder if there will be a big grenade launcher in 2042

Kinda hope not

[dusk bronze]

bf1 fun game

[valid onyx]

That is strangely true

[wheat yew]

You mean... a mortar?

[mellow rover]

Well if they claim its not BR what is it then...

[valid onyx]

Nono

Like the uhh

[old egret]

Or is that just me

[valid onyx]

8 round launcher

[spark acorn]

A mode similar to escape from tarkov is what iirc from Jackfrags.

[simple linden]

just cuz EA earned more than spent, doesnt mean game A has been profitable

[soft kayak]

it would probably be a pickup weapon

[valid onyx]

That sounds like a good idea

[wheat yew]

Well a Battle Royale has one player or a team of players killing each other and the last team/person standing is a winner. So if they say it's not BR, that means it's not BR.

[mellow rover]

Oh shit, that would be fucking awesome... EFT is insane. and fun to watch.

[void carbon]

I want to pilot a fresh version of B2 Spirit, since it was on the minimap. Well being able to just drop bombs for it would be fine too like on silk road in BF4

[spark acorn]

Yeah, it'll probably just have some BR elements in it, but not a true Battle Royale.

[valid onyx]

I think I would spend most of my time with 2042 flying jets

[simple linden]

when the guy said that ea earned 4.8 billion in 2017, and spent 3.8 billion, and said that they dont need other ways of monetizing games to have long term support

[wheat yew]

Honestly pick-up weapons seem like the best sort of like... sweet spot for introducing really powerful things without letting just anyone run around with it

[arctic grove]

same
