[arctic grove]

@hardy kestrel nahh

[cerulean sky]

big hot

[arctic grove]

Game comes out 15.10 early access

Beta will be before

[cerulean sky]

[arctic grove]

They need feedback

And to fix things

[somber coral]

[arctic grove]

@somber coral maybe

[cerulean sky]

YO i think now i can send pics

[arctic grove]

But nah u doubt it

I doubt it*

[upper sage]

[somber coral]

[split parcel]

The FAQ says open beta
https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/faq

[spark acorn]

I believe the open beta will be around September.

[arctic grove]

oh wait no there is one next month

22nd i think

[somber coral]

aight thanks

[arctic grove]

[lucid goblet]

No dates yet for the beta, we'll most likely get info at EA Play.

[arctic grove]

ye most likely

[spark acorn]

thats the EA Play Live.

[lucid goblet]

[arctic grove]

[white geyser]

[arctic grove]

@white geyser lets goooooooooooooooooo

[cerulean sky]

[next onyx]

@cerulean sky we waited 6 months for news sooo this is nothing.

[cerulean sky]

[bronze mural]

[cerulean sky]

[split parcel]

Technically, Battlefield 2042 is Battlefield 12 in the series.

[cerulean sky]

[cerulean sky]

[sacred wolf]

battlefield 1942 still fun more than 5

[split parcel]

Battlefield 1942 hasn't aged well at all

[bronze mural]

u guys know if bf 2042 will have campaign?

[cerulean sky]

nope it wont

[split parcel]

It will not.

[sacred wolf]

No

[pure furnace]

Will the game support cross play ?

[lime gazelle]

Can't wait for the beta wonder what map we'll get to play.

[cerulean sky]

i think they will just at a campign as a dlc later after a few years

[sacred wolf]

I think so

[bronze mural]

damn is bf4 campaign still a bee in their bonnet?

[split parcel]

No information on that yet. We'll know more come EA Live on July 22

[cerulean sky]

bro

[sacred wolf]

OPEN BETA PLS

[cerulean sky]

bf4 campign is sad

[lime gazelle]

Doubt they'll add a campaign

[cerulean sky]

:c

should i click it

[grand kelp]

No

[cerulean sky]

that

is scary

[arctic grove]

BF12

wonder if the game will have op guns on release lmao

[cerulean sky]

its either a rickroll or ip grabber

[grand kelp]

It a scary link

[arctic grove]

They didn't its already said.

[cerulean sky]

true

[sacred wolf]

Ssu

[grand kelp]

You’ll die once you click

[cerulean sky]

youtube links doesnt have "-" in it

mods

check this

pls

[arctic grove]

it's a Rick roll

[cerulean sky]

i knew it

[arctic grove]

Pokémon version

[arctic grove]

Lol

[bronze mural]

bf4 campaign had no character depth and there were so many times of forced drama like in the end where ||oh no the detonator no work and now you have to choose to sacrafice one person or the other||

[split parcel]

Most likely Orbital Conquest, as that's the map they'll use for the Technical Playtest in July.

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/tech-test

[bleak nebula]

Lol

[fast thistle]

I don't have life
pls help me

[cerulean sky]

no the only thing that made me sad is the russian guy that got killed by the chopper

[sacred wolf]

Why Nonam

[cerulean sky]

this dude survived a nuclear bomb and dies like this

[arctic grove]

Lol I easily choose Hannah first and got the P90.

[bronze mural]

yeah that was sad lol

[cerulean sky]

other stuff is lame

[fast thistle]

o DiMA the Russian ?

[lime gazelle]

I was answering another message just didn't reply to it, but they said maybe in a dlc we'll get a campaign, and I was saying I doubt it.

[cerulean sky]

yes

[fast thistle]

his dead his so bad

[cerulean sky]

dude he is the main character

how did he die

[bronze mural]

yeah no one likes hannah because she got you into a situation where you got tortured so adnfnspifnspdni

[cerulean sky]

i hope that he died a better death at least

[cerulean sky]

guess who did i drop to explode at the end

[fast thistle]

Hannah for the P90

[cerulean sky]

yes

what was the other guy's name?

irish right?

he is epic

[bronze mural]

i did all endings because i'm a completionist(?) (no idea if that's a word)

[fast thistle]

yep

[cerulean sky]

i would risk my life for him

[fiery solar]

i wouldnt kill irish for anything

[fast thistle]

me too

[cerulean sky]

same

irish gained our respect

[bronze mural]

i waited for everyone on that dumb ship to die

yeah i liked irish

[cerulean sky]

i like how battlefield gave us the last moment of the game like a "hard decission" and stress and stuff

[next onyx]

I don't think neither of their deaths are canon

[cerulean sky]

first i saw it i didnt think of anything and watched hanna go boom

no

[bronze mural]

no one will click that

[sacred wolf]

Mmm

[fast thistle]

insane trick shot

[proven torrent]

Yeah that's why the war goes on..... And so the lore of multiplayer begins

[cerulean sky]

no

[bronze mural]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[next onyx]

Yeah your ship was destroyed and so then goes the multi

[cerulean sky]

battlefield 3 was actully more fun than 4 in the campaign

[bronze mural]

yeah i felt fine with hannah doing it but irish kinda hurt

[cerulean sky]

it had more stuff

in bf4 was just hannah and irish screaming and just shooting and stuff

[wild dove]

https://youtu.be/8HHOG2N8Rbk

[cerulean sky]

there was not so much

[wild dove]

i can't shoot

[lucid goblet]

@fast thistle Do not post links to rickrolls in here anymore.

[cerulean sky]

ok ايمن

[wild dove]

xd

[fast thistle]

@lucid goblet ok

[cerulean sky]

@lucid goblet

no i meant the link

not his name

[lucid goblet]

It's a link to a BF4 vid

it's ok

[cerulean sky]

oh okay

[wild dove]

No: blank names, offensive content, advertising, disruptive text, political figures/dictators.

my name is fine

[cerulean sky]

also his name is fine

its just

in a diffrenet carachter

character

[wild dove]

its arabic

[cerulean sky]

[split parcel]

It really bothers me how the gif loops every fourth loop. Like, it's four loops before the gif ends and starts over

[hardy kestrel]

You can get animation policy plugin for Chrome - Gif only plays once

[lucid goblet]

What do you all hope to see at EA Play? anything in particular? serious answers only 😉

[split parcel]

No, i mean the gif is like 5-6 seconds long, when it could just be 1 second long with the same result

[fast thistle]

@lucid goblet a rickroll

[sacred wolf]

I hope to see some new detail/gemaplay , systemrquirement end the date of the open beta.

[split parcel]

I want to see how vehicles handle in the new physics engine.

[hardy kestrel]

Vehicles - what kinds, any new mechanics, what types of weapons/upgrades will be available

[lucid goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/joaquin-phoenix-gladiator-denied-unimpressed-thumbs-down-gif-5725261

[fast thistle]

ok I stop

I want good gameplay

[hardy kestrel]

Vehicles are the hardest part of BF so if they can get that right it bodes well for the rest of the game

[lucid goblet]

yeah im looking forward to having the vehicles at spawn again like BF4, i just hope they can be customized during the match also.

[sacred wolf]

That qill be nice

[wise sinew]

This will not happen

[bronze mural]

wait what

[wise sinew]

You'll have to call a vehicle

[bronze mural]

a leech just fell out of my jumper

[somber hinge]

you're wrong

[sullen violet]

Hopefully the spawn screen will be like bf4. They basically broke vehicle spawning in bf1 imo

[split parcel]

Why not both?

[hardy kestrel]

I don't expect too dramatic a difference personally. Stuff like being able to run over cars with tanks is much needed and appreciated but I don't expect a drastic departure from how they have handled in the past. Probably more subtle in a way that only vehicle pros will notice

[wise sinew]

Well that's what they said

[arctic grove]

You can drive civ vehicles, majorly epic

[somber hinge]

Theres already been screenshots of like 6 vehicles in a spawn

[bleak nebula]

Jet gameplay

[split schooner]

agreed

[rich tulip]

i'm quite new to the battlefield series but i'd honestly like to see fortifications come back to bf2042

I really liked it in bfv

[hardy kestrel]

Tuk tuk is not a civilian vehicle - it is a weapon of mass destruction which should only be available to those who can master its intricacies

[split schooner]

And a tutorial to pull off a rendezook

[arctic grove]

We have also seen normal trucks being driven

[somber hinge]

]#

[arctic grove]

based af

[bleak nebula]

Sick

[upbeat hinge]

2 heli's? thats too many

[wise sinew]

Oh ok, well that's good news

[bronze mural]

what the weather effects (tornado) is like when you're just playing

[hardy kestrel]

with 128 players? no idts

[somber hinge]

would love just normal weather affects like stormy rainy days

[split schooner]

That will look awesome with ray tracing

[bronze mural]

imagine having rtx

[split schooner]

There is rtx on ps5 and xbox sx right?

[somber hinge]

there no chance they don't add dlss 2.0 and raytracing

[split schooner]

And they will probably support it right?

[blissful heart]

Hazard zone mode 😄

[hardy kestrel]

Will be sad when you have a really good AI heli gunner and then after the game they are gone forever.

[lucid goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/jack-nicholson-yes-nod-agree-gif-9864414

[bronze mural]

first question - yes. second question - if pc has raytracing, then yes

[somber hinge]

some actual human gameplay xd

[mortal raft]

Some think DICE just spawned them in there for testing purposes and didn't notice they're visible in the trailer.
They all kinda stand a bit unorganized for that to be how they're normally on the spawn.

[lofty relic]

Hope we can customize/remove the weapon UI seen in this image, looks a bit bloated, I mean after a while you’ll remember what gadgets you have

[somber hinge]

we'll see Imo the game would feel really weird if the maps are that large with no vehicles on spawn

[mortal raft]

True

[bronze mural]

they'll probably/should only have the weapon switcher show when you're switching weapons

[lofty relic]

That’s what I’m hoping at least, as it’s been in previous games

[somber hinge]

ngl would love some coop missions like they had in mw2019 they where a bit of fun

didn't they say there was?

[lofty relic]

Only co-op multiplayer vs AI afaik

[honest jolt]

Hazard zone

[somber hinge]

thats dead

loved the scripted coop missions in mw2019 with the huge plane

[split schooner]

Can you give me the timestamp of the video of this moment?

[somber hinge]

no

[split schooner]

Why?

[somber hinge]

because I'm lazy

[bronze mural]

the cryptic news update on bf4 a couple of days before the game was unveiled really confused me lol

[lofty relic]

I actually enjoyed the BF3 co-op missions, wouldn’t mind seeing some of that

[hardy kestrel]

They might use a variation of the phased vehicle approached I pitched long ago where the larger vehicles are phased in as the match progresses. You start with just light armed transport vehicles and then tanks get made available, then AH, then jets. In my version this would be time based but perhaps DICE is making it point based so that the first squad/team to get enough points is able to bring in the next phase of vehicles

[split schooner]

That doesn't seem to be the reason

[somber hinge]

ofc

I made it all up

its all fak

its a conspiracy

[split schooner]

Yeah exactly

[somber hinge]

you got me man

[bronze mural]

what i REALLY hope is that, unlike BF4, there is actually a point to infantry and its not completely dominated by level 200 guys in op vehicles

[bleak nebula]

Hope not

[hardy kestrel]

Busted

[lofty relic]

My guess is it’ll be balanced through the different sectors on the maps. Like some are more infantry friendly etc

[split schooner]

I've seen the trailer thousands of time and the moment i saw it i knew something was wrong with it

[bronze mural]

anyone el;se hate wc

anyone else hate whedc

nvm

[tame token]

Only cheaters hate vac

[arctic grove]

so glad the dead cod memes are coming back

[bronze mural]

yep thats def what i was trying to say

[hardy kestrel]

kernel cheat detection is time bomb waiting to explode

[tame token]

My steam account has been vac-free since 2006 and still going strong.

[arctic grove]

why would they hate it if it doesn't work

[bronze mural]

vanguard

[bronze mural]

check mine, its never been vaxxed

[zinc dust]

bye bye cod

asta la vista cod

[tame token]

I mean, I never had a vac infraction before.

That's what I meant to say.

[arctic grove]

On a side note, that guy in the start of the meme has an extremely irritating voice

[spark acorn]

COD Ghost as a profile pic

[cold falcon]

is better than dead cod

[bronze mural]

ok

[hardy kestrel]

People keep saying that and it aint happened yet. Let DIce put out just one good BF - just one and then we can talk about usurping the king (and i am no COD fan btw)

[arctic grove]

Every time a new BF (excluding V) comes out, people say it's going to "kill cod", it never comes true

[split schooner]

Neither franchise is gonna die.

(so easily)

[cold falcon]

My old gen console will though

[hardy kestrel]

And its tragic because it totally CAN come true. Like all the fundamentals are there. YOU have destruction - other guys don't. YOU have deep vehicle gameplay - other guys don't. Now YOU have 128 players and the other guys don't.

[onyx oar]

They have to royally screw up before that happens

[split schooner]

Exactly

[rugged peak]

thing is

[onyx oar]

Remember when bf1 would kill cod? still waiting ffs

[arctic grove]

yeah but EA always fumble the ball for a quick cash grab and fuck the entire thing up

[cold falcon]

Damn

[rugged peak]

even if cod's trash like cold war is people will still buy it

[split schooner]

Agreed

[rugged peak]

the same doesn't happen with bf

[split schooner]

Disagree

[rugged peak]

BFV

[split schooner]

I bought it

[whole comet]

true

[rugged peak]

dont like it dont buy it

[lofty relic]

BFV had more sold copies than BF4

[rugged peak]

so most people didn't

[whole comet]

I only got it when it was free

[whole comet]

no way

[lofty relic]

Neither franchise is going to die unless the publishers want them to

[hardy kestrel]

That they do - there are some positive signs this time though like dropping singleplayer - that was a big cash/time sink - but that only matters if they use that money/resources to improve the quality of MP. If they just pocket the savings or invest it all into Hazard mode then its all for naught

[tame token]

I'm thinking on re-buying ultimate edition.

Even though I cancelled pre-order,

[split schooner]

And publishers won't probably want to do that cause they earn a lot of revenue from it.

So yeah.

[lofty relic]

Exactly, so it’s not happening

[onyx oar]

Yeah however you must keep in mind that the gaming industry has grown exponentially in the last ten years. More players = more sales. Also more sales doesn't make a game more successful unless you look at it from an economic standpoint

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 4 sold: 14.81 million copies
Battlefield V sold: 7.3 million copies

[split schooner]

At least Wait for ea play, then preorder

[whole comet]

you have some evidence on that

[rugged peak]

naw, give me those 20€ you save from buying the gold edition instead and that way I can buy the gold edirion too :)

I want the gold edition so bad

[spark acorn]

buy buy buy

[rugged peak]

no, broke

[arctic grove]

I might pre order for beta and then cancel if I think it's bad

[onyx oar]

Buy gold imo unless you really want one extra skin for robo doggie

[whole comet]

based

[hardy kestrel]

It's becoming less about the quantity of sales and more about the quality - One player who spends $500 on game + cosmetics is worth 25 who just buy the game at $20 discount price

[wise sinew]

I think I'll pre order for the gold edition

But after the ea play live

[arctic grove]

gold is def the biggest bang for your buck

ult edition is way overpriced

Just go all out

[arctic grove]

yeah give all of your money to EA

fuck it

entire wallet

[wise sinew]

Standard is already 80 bucks so gold being at 100

[onyx oar]

buys 5 ultimate editions

[rugged peak]

if you can afford it, gold edition is the way to go

[tame token]

!when

[wise sinew]

I think it's ok considering you have the year 1 pass

And ps5 and ps4 versions

[lofty relic]

I’m not talking lifetime sales obviously, and where did you get the bf4 numbers from?

[arctic grove]

In USD gold is only 80

[wise sinew]

Ow

In France it's 100 wtf

[tame token]

Can someone do !when

[rugged peak]

wherever you are, it's always just 20€ more than default

[urban thicket]

At least u guys have good economy so u can buy for 80 bucks i have to give 1/5 of minimal wage in Turkey.

[rugged peak]

you probably talking about current gen consoles

[arctic grove]

Why would you say "BFV sold more copies than BF4" then? that's intentionally misleading information

[wise sinew]

Yeah ps5 actually

Maybe it's lower on ps4

[rugged peak]

yeah, current gen

[lofty relic]

I’m taking that into account as well of course. What I’m saying is that these franchises aren’t just going to drop dead out of nowhere, people viewed BFV as a fatal mistake and here we are

[hardy kestrel]

what for?

[rugged peak]

it's +10€ every new console

consoles are an absolute scam

[lofty relic]

Because in the industry, sales are usually measured early on, sorry if it seemed misleading

[onyx oar]

hehe yup here we are with 9 out of 10 people trashtalking bfV lol. But you are right, if they wanted the frnachises dead they would have already killed them off.

[opal compass]

[open dove]

Yeah like ubisoft killed Splinter Cell

[lofty relic]

Trashtalking in general has become the norm anyway. People will seek the flaws in anything. My point is that despite how people felt about BFV, we’re seeing a lot of excitement for 2042

[onyx oar]

😭

[frosty falcon]

I wonder when the beta for 2042 will come out

[hallow kiln]

Rayman

[open dove]

[wise sinew]

Most likely September

[open dove]

True

[onyx oar]

I personally don't like bfV all that much however credit due where credit is due. BFV tried to do new things, granted it wasn't a lot, but it was still nice to see them introduce new things for is to try out and see how it affected the gameplay loop.

[hardy kestrel]

I think they should bring back elites and behemoths from BF1 and combine them into one and have them appear like a natural disaster like the tornado. You could have like a 20 story tall playable cybernetic ninja.

[hallow kiln]

Every single time i see those cursed rabbits i die a bit more inside

[frosty falcon]

yeah if anything I think early september or late august

[arctic grove]

@lofty relic Sources are on this website, I cannot send them as I get muted for it

https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/Battlefield

[open dove]

Rabbids came back from the graveyard bc of mario

[frosty falcon]

More likely late August cause early September might be too late

[fiery solar]

.

[wise sinew]

I did like a lot that "you won't have unlimited ammo" system, I think it adds some challenge (considering you don't die in 10 seconds 🤣)

[wise sinew]

That's something I reeeally missed in bfv... Behemoths

THAT was something

[lofty relic]

I spent about 30h in BFV which was the less than I’ve spent in any previous BF. I liked the idea of the game, and that the team got to experiment with new ideas. But the main thing lacking for me was tht sandbox feeling that BF3 had. Hoping to see it in 2042 again

[arctic grove]

behemoths are shitty crutches

remove them

[onyx oar]

I didn't like it. In bf4 and bf1 there are plenty of times I actually run out of ammo which results in me harrassing that one support player until they give me ammo hahahahaha.........and ofcourse I die instantly after i get my ammo.

[wise sinew]

Sad

[hardy kestrel]

That was a test and you failed - elites and behemoths were fine for BF1 because it was ww1 and you needed something to spice that up but outside of that game neither of those should see the light of day.

[wise sinew]

In ww2 it would've been incredible too

[frosty falcon]

Depends on how they would even do it though

[onyx oar]

true the maps were very restrictive. bf4 had that perfect balance in most maps.

[wise sinew]

I'm okay to say not in 2042

But definitely in a ww2 setting

[onyx oar]

ww2 done right is 🔥

[wise sinew]

Maybe next decade lmao

[hardy kestrel]

For BFBC3 fine but for BF series proper I don't care how they do it - doesn't gel with the game

[lofty relic]

As I said, ”had more sold”, meaning during the launch period of the game.
This is not an argument to prove that either game is better than the other, I was explaining why the franchise won’t just drop dead

[onyx oar]

ngl I've given up on a good AAA studio ww2 game at this point.

[arctic grove]

any franchise can drop dead with enough bad decisions

[arctic grove]

seems like the only good ww2 games are made by indie studios

[lofty relic]

I personally didn’t enjoy any map in BF4. Even the maps they remastered from BF3 were inferior to the originals. I’m hoping to see some great map design in the new game though

[hardy kestrel]

Even if you make good decisions you don't necessarily survive - see Judge Dredd movie

[frosty falcon]

I just hope sniping feels good in 2042

[lofty relic]

You obviously don’t know about this game called World of Warcraft

[arctic grove]

see blade runner

[open dove]

bf4 vanilla maps were meh, I don't think they are suited for 64 players. 44 players matches are more enjoyable

[next onyx]

Would of loved to see Zavod 311 in bf5

[wise sinew]

Now that you mention it

[next onyx]

I can't quite put it down why but Zavod was just a good map

The engagements were fun and constant

[wise sinew]

But first they should've introduce the eastern front which... Nop

[onyx oar]

Lets be real here the indie studios are the ones trying out a lot of funky and new ideas whereas AAA studios don't do a lot of experimentation anymore. Sure every now and then an oddball pops out from it's cave but that's about it

[viscid basin]

Dude Zavod has got to be in my top maps for bf4

[hardy kestrel]

It had a lot going on - forest, abandoned tanks, warehouses, factory, underground areas, train

[onyx oar]

I don't agree but ey to each their own.

[lofty relic]

Gulf of Oman, Road to Jalalabad, Strike at Karkand, Caspian Border, Operation Firestorm, Damavand Peak. List goes on, but BF2 and BF3 had some of the best maps. I can’t think of any memorable from BF4 personally

[open dove]

Zavod is good until the lvl 140 LAV main shows up

[lofty relic]

Definitely

[onyx oar]

Sinai desert ❤️

[hardy kestrel]

Golmond is way underrated

[wise sinew]

Oh my

[open dove]

I don't like Golmud, whoever gets D first wins

[onyx oar]

golmud is good for learning the game. Otherwise you better have an SSD and a fast trigger finger to get a vehicle or you gonna suffer

[next onyx]

"Woah is that a grenade?"

[onyx oar]

I'm going to call DICE and bribe them into keeping Sinai Desert alive in 2042

[open dove]

if the Battlefield Hub rumour is real I'm gonna nut

Bring back Karkand Dice plz

[wise sinew]

Hope of a full desert map like Sinai desert in 2042

[split schooner]

Is anyone annoyed with the fact that tank is air dropped now? Imagine requesting a tank and then watching your teammates steal your tank. I really hope they add a system which prevents this from happening.

[onyx oar]

karkand 128 players, may the lord have mercy on our souls......and that guy over there cause imma quickscope his ass

[open dove]

Tanks spawn at the base as well I think

[wise sinew]

If that rumor is true, I think that the "love letter for bf fans" takes all its sense

[wise sinew]

Maybe you can only enter it if you're the one who called it

(I don't think so)

[onyx oar]

I'm very excited about the map we saw in the game play trailer 🙂

[somber nebula]

What if its a 128 player bf3 metro

[wise sinew]

Hourglass

That sandstorm is fantastic

[split schooner]

Thats highly unlikely.

[lofty relic]

They have indeed confirmed that vehicle stealing is a thing when it’s being dropped in. You’d have to be tactical about it I suppose

[onyx oar]

yayayayayaayaya i hope it's the beta map

[arctic grove]

same

[onyx oar]

No Rules whips out airburst, AEK, and grenade launcher

[wise sinew]

Hourglass, Kaleidoscope, maybe the one in India, or the biiig one with the weather station could be maps for the beta

[split schooner]

I was thinking that they should introduce a countdown system. There should be a timer during which only the player who requested the tank can use it. When the timer finishes, other people can take it

[wise sinew]

But most likely hourglass or Kaleidoscope

[hardy kestrel]

My experience was there there was virtually always a vehicle available - there was like 6 tanks, 2 jets, 2 helis not to mention extra vehicles on certain flags

[split schooner]

Any chance of orbital?

[opal compass]

orbital is used for the tech test

[lofty relic]

That’d probably work tbh. I think they did say though that vehicle stealing ”is a thing as usual” and that’s why it’s there now as well

[arctic grove]

kaleidoscope seems a bit too cqc for the beta imo, I feel like a bit of a larger urban map with a lot of different terrain would work better

[wise sinew]

Maybe you won't even be forced to only call a vehicle in the middle of your life, but as usual when you're in the menu

[wise sinew]

Agreed

Even tho Kaleidoscope hypes me a lot

[hardy kestrel]

I wonder if you can still fly when the sandstorm on hourglass hits

[split schooner]

Kleidoscope is about 2x bigger than Rotterdam of bfv right?

[arctic grove]

yeah

[wise sinew]

Yeah

Which isn't that big

[lofty relic]

I hope the skyscrapers have a lot of interior space

[lost ridge]

It's like 20% bigger imo

[split schooner]

Wow i never thought of that. That will be a great idea

[wise sinew]

With new gens possibilities why not

[hardy kestrel]

Yeah I wish they had a sandbox mode where all the floors were usable - I know that wouldn't work for the main game but just as an experimental fun mode for private games, would be cool

[lofty relic]

I’m kind of betting on it if we’ll be 128 players on a map that small

[onyx oar]

I wonder by the way we call in behicles if we can Jenga stack vehicles on top of each other and make a tank tower

[split schooner]

Imagine jumping from one skyscraper to another using a quad bike

[lofty relic]

For sure, would love that

[wise sinew]

Don't imagine, do it

[hardy kestrel]

If we can't form Voltron then I am cancelling not just mine but everyone's preorder

[arctic grove]

if the beta is bad, I am cancelling my pre order

[wise sinew]

Legit

[open dove]

I hope the gun customization is good enough, even though idk what to think about the plus sytem

[opal compass]

i saw that

lowkey, better not do this again

[wise sinew]

I think plus system is an idea, especially if you can't totally change your gun

Like adding a 36x scop on your smg

[onyx oar]

friendly reminder that the beta is a stress test for the server and not for everyone to spam report bug and glitches unless gamebreaking

[somber hinge]

lets gooooooooooo

[hardy kestrel]

I think you mean the closed alpha right?

[arctic grove]

If nobody reports minor bugs, none of them will get fixed

[upper sage]

wonder if we'll be able to keybind the plus system stuff instead of having to open it each time

[lofty relic]

They did mention that having a plus system would not make weapon classes redundant, so that’s good at least

[open dove]

bf1 open beta was almost unplayable, you couldn't get into servers at all

[wise sinew]

That's indeed a good change

[onyx oar]

no closed alpha is probably for playtesters since they cant have people at HQ testing the game. source: me, a former playtester

[onyx oar]

They have a whole department dedicated to finding and fixing these things.

[hardy kestrel]

Right, beta though is coming about month before release though and my understanding is that is used for both stress testing and bug/balance issues (though some may already be fixed)

[arctic grove]

They clearly don't do a very good job then

[lofty relic]

The plus system probably isn’t designed to be used mid-combat. You’ll just take a breather and switch a few attachments depending on what you’re planning on doing next, instead of having to respawn.

Like if a sandstorm is rolling in, you could attach an IR scope for better vision etc

[open dove]

the last BF games have always had a rocky launch, except bf1

[somber hinge]

Imo they need to add animations to the plus system

[onyx oar]

No they do a good job. I played bfV pre alpha and that thing was barely playable due to bugs and glitches. Major bug and glitches have priority.

[arctic grove]

okay that was pre alpha

what about all the minor bugs and glitches still in the game

never fixed

[hardy kestrel]

The finding part they do a pretty good job on I reckon - the fixing part though, abysmal

[lofty relic]

I’m actually for less animations in general. I think BFV for instance had way too many animations, slowed things down

[open dove]

Let the community do the finding part

[arctic grove]

If the elevator music from the gameplay trailer isnt in the final game I'm suing EA for false advertising

[somber hinge]

I disagree tbh

[hasty sluice]

[wise sinew]

Remembering squad healing animations

[hardy kestrel]

Class action - chance of success 5000%

[bleak nebula]

With enter and leave animations rendezook wouldnt even be possible

[arctic grove]

that shit sucked

[open dove]

Squad healing animations are fine tbh, I don't want to revive people from 20 meters like in BF4

[lofty relic]

Depends on the gameplay you prefer I suppose, a bit of realism vs sandbox

[wise sinew]

The idea was good but hell it was long

[onyx oar]

Moving on to different projects. Time and resources are limited and unless heavily interrupting or making games unbalanced they probably won't go in and fix it. tho you do have a point since some major glitches never got fixed in bf4. operation locker

[somber hinge]

I mean the animation to revive was probably as long as a rez in warzone which is 100% fine imo

instant revives would be stupid

[hardy kestrel]

Healing/Reviving is negating damage inflicted and that should always be harder than inflicting damage in a game like this.

[lofty relic]

Instant defib revives in BF3 were a bit goofy but it felt fun

[arctic grove]

Every BF game pre V want's to know your location

[bleak nebula]

Thiss

[wise sinew]

I mean yeah, they did the extreme opposites with bf1's instant revives and bfv's long as hell ones

They should balance

[bleak nebula]

Also maria has ranged revive

[rich agate]

Now instead of defibs it’s a dart right?

[hardy kestrel]

They're not long even in the slightest

[somber hinge]

Imo I think the dart shouldn't insta revive either there should be some downtime for people that have been killed or the momentum of the game will be fucked

[arctic grove]

I also found V's really goofy, you get could blown up by a 4000lbs bomb and still just call out on the ground for a medic, I preferred the other games because it was less immersion breaking

[wise sinew]

It takes like 2 or 3 seconds, enough to get killed

[rich agate]

Fuck, I wanted a 360 no scope cross maps revive

[onyx oar]

doc spawnpeeking in siege with syringe gun ptsd

[somber hinge]

killing someone then becomes meaningless if they can be revived in 0.1 seconds

and instantly start fighting you again

[arctic grove]

It's literally only ranged healing, not revive

[bleak nebula]

Nahh that would be boring

[somber hinge]

doesn't matter its balancing

[lofty relic]

Fun >

[wise sinew]

True

[somber hinge]

if you kill someone and they get instantly revived by a dart thats ridiculous

[open dove]

isn't the dart only supposed to heal mates? I don't remember reading it would revive too

[somber hinge]

hopefully it is like that

[hardy kestrel]

2-3 seconds isn't long and the risk of being killed is EXACTLY the point - Working as intended - it should be risky/challenging to undue the death of a teammate

[bleak nebula]

Older bf games had instant revive

[rich agate]

Then does that mean we still have defibs in game?

[somber hinge]

doesn't mean it was a good idea

[arctic grove]

It doesn't revive, this is what the item description says "Fires a syringe at friendlies to provide healing"

[lofty relic]

Most of the time if you carelessly revive people they will just die again anyway. I don’t think it’ll be that unbalanced

[hardy kestrel]

It's something you do when you have relative security - not while in the middle of an engagement

[somber hinge]

thank god xd

[bleak nebula]

Some people liked it, some didnt

[wise sinew]

It isn't long but again enough to get killed, even if like you said, this is the risk, the challenge

[onyx oar]

50 caliber acp to the face, here have a defib.

[wise sinew]

But at some point it becomes kinda boring

[next onyx]

Tank shell explosion. Needle

[open dove]

Also ranged revives already exist, just play bf4

[somber hinge]

Imo there needs to be risk to reviving so having an animation, Or even just a wait time like warzone is 100% needed the instant no risk revives is bad

[arctic grove]

non instant revive is fine, but at least make it so that the characters aren't squirming around on the ground right after getting domed 18 times in the head

[wise sinew]

Classic soldier's day

[next onyx]

I like bf5 reviving mostly in part of squad revives

[rich agate]

Cruise Missile to the face VS one heart rate spikey thing

[onyx oar]

gets turned into shredded cheese by a BRRRRRRT here have a defib lol

[next onyx]

Squad members can still revive you and it makes medics even more useful

[lofty relic]

I think revive animations slow things down way too much, I can’t agree

[vital idol]

Instant revives, though not realistic, definitely have their benefits

[arctic grove]

Still better than V's system which made way less sense

[somber hinge]

the thing is having a squirming revive is better it would be harder to get headshot by a sniper tbh

[next onyx]

Though i don't agree with vehicle animations

Mostly

[bleak nebula]

I hope squad revives return

[vital idol]

I wouldn't mind longer revives with animations, nor insta revives

[next onyx]

Same here man

[vital idol]

Both sound good

[arctic grove]

I mean the people already dying on the ground

it was stupid

[hardy kestrel]

[rich agate]

Imo it makes the game flow better

[wise sinew]

Get's teared apart by a v1, here's the revive mate

[onyx oar]

hmmmm yes I hated laying there screaming like you have stomach cramps waiting for someone to pick you up

[somber hinge]

tbh I 100% disagree also, Teleporting into vehicles was bad design also

[open dove]

Vehicle animations are necessary otherwise people are going to abuse them like in bf4

[next onyx]

Yeah i get that. I was thinking if the vehicle is "In combat" you have to go through an animation

[lofty relic]

But fun, it was fun

[vital idol]

I agree with that completely

[onyx oar]

IMMERSION

[next onyx]

So if a jet is on your tail you can't just bail out and deny them the kill

[wise sinew]

Battlefield will never be the same

[arctic grove]

You think defibs after getting hit in the head are bad? in V you literally just shrug it off like nothing happened when a squad mate grabs your arm for a couple seconds and is just like "nah bro ur good lol"

[somber hinge]

Maybe but Imo made the momentum stupid, Its harder to push objectives when people can be instantly revived from death

[next onyx]

But if you wanted to get out any other time before that then yeah. Instant.

[open dove]

that's the power of friendship

[somber hinge]

if people are risked a couple of seconds to revive you can push and kill them before they get it off and get a hard push going

[next onyx]

Squad revives are good no matter what anyone says.

[rich agate]

But now it’s instantly revived on both sides 😼

[somber hinge]

with instant revives thats not possible

[arctic grove]

They are, I just wish they would remove the part where they cry for help on the ground

[wise sinew]

Hands contact provides instant healing, how can't you know that??

[onyx oar]

Yeah i know it's weird no matter how you do it. lemme just hold your hand and the hole in your stomach from a tank will be alright lol

[next onyx]

I'm FUCKING DYING HERE, MEDIC.

[vital idol]

Big question when it comes to preference with instant revives or realistic ones is, what do you play BF for; realism or enjoyment?

[open dove]

SANITATER

[onyx oar]

SANITÄTER

[next onyx]

SANIIIII

[bleak nebula]

Friendship is magic!

[wise sinew]

That's ✨battlefield✨

[next onyx]

DAREKA

[upper sage]

or have an option to mute it like in RUST

[lofty relic]

I feel like this is becoming a realism vs sandbox argument. My only statement is that when it comes to Battlefield;

Fun sandbox gameplay > realism/animations for everything

[arctic grove]

dude whoever voiced the women in BFV needs a fucking raise, she yelled louder into the mic than most of the explosives sound in the game

[somber hinge]

enjoyment but I don't give a fuck if the revives are realistic I just dont want them instant for balancing reasons and momentum

[onyx oar]

real shit tho female or male voice in bf1?

[next onyx]

Zappity doodle your're now alive

I never gave a damn about the announcer voice so i kept it on female

[open dove]

at least you can't revive ppl who got melee'd

[wise sinew]

I'm that crazy one guy who changes the language depending on the nation I play

[arctic grove]

It wasn't the crying that annoyed me, it was the simple immersion break of having someone lay on the ground with no way to finish them off after I just killed them, it made kills feel way less satisfying and made 0 logical sense

[open dove]

Not being able to revive people who got shot in the head would be nice too

[vital idol]

Can you tell me your reasons why you don't want them

[wise sinew]

English was women and American man or contrary

[next onyx]

In Hardline you couldn't revive people who were killed by: Explosion, Headshot and takedown.

[onyx oar]

IMMERSION I like the female voice ngl

[vital idol]

I wanna hear your end

[naive plover]

how the hell can you revive someone who just got shot in the damn balls by a syringe

[next onyx]

Instant revives have zero consequence

[wise sinew]

The english female voice is ✨

[split schooner]

At the end of the day its a video game.

[arctic grove]

readd defibs but then make it so they have a mandatory charge up, problem solved

[onyx oar]

Russia in 2042 should just have an angry and drunk Igor telling you to move your lazy bum and rush B cyka

[somber hinge]

Because pushing objectives is significantly harder with them, Being killed to then instantly raise from the dead with 100% hp to fight back is way to fast and negates progress towards a push towards the objectives

[next onyx]

Funny enough in bf5, You cannot be revived if you get domed by a tank.

[naive plover]

i aint complaining tho cause i suck at the game

[wise sinew]

You should also hear him drinking some vodka in the middle of a sentence

[arctic grove]

That isn't true though

[next onyx]

It is true though, If their shell hits your head you are dead dead

[vital idol]

Fair enough, but how about instant revives but you have 30 health?

[onyx oar]

Lazy bum go pauses to take a sip rush B cyka

[next onyx]

20 MM's are excluded

and Mg

[arctic grove]

lol okay then it's probably just a bug, doubt they would make that the ONLY thing that you cannot be revived from

[somber hinge]

still bad imo, I have to kill you maybe we traded shots I'm low 15hp and you get back up to trade again and I get killed, Imo its just not a great idea

[lofty relic]

That’s where the balance came from in BF3 for instance. You chose to play an Assault, which meant it was your job to revive too.

It’ll be a bit different in 2042, with so many different classes, you won’t be seeing 100% hp revives as often

[onyx oar]

Crazy Igor voice dlc when dice?

[next onyx]

You can't be revived from takedowns and formerly if you were killed right as you got revived you're dead dead

But they removed that

In the scrapped 5v5 there was a class that would yield you revivable when shot in the head.

[wise sinew]

By the way do you guys think other nations will arrive later in 2042?

[somber hinge]

Even when its not 100% hp its still a unit in the field being able to throw out dmg, And that being instant is bad, As you kill someone they can be instantly back in the field to start gunning you down again

[wise sinew]

Or will we have Russians and Americans with the "no pats" only

[bleak nebula]

Usually people getting revived in front of you are literally free extra kills tho

[arctic grove]

just having your enemy squirm around on the ground made kills feel less satisfying and broke immersion a lot more imo, I am not opposed to revive anims or some sort of delay, but I just don't want that weird ass system returning unless there is a way to finish people off

[somber hinge]

usually yes, But if they get a slight push after you kill 2-3 people those 2-3 people are instantly back on the field

[onyx oar]

This has been on my mind ever since I saw the operator announcement. wonder if it comes back in 2042

[vital idol]

I mean, in BF3 you had a "stand up fatigue"/cooldown, which I think worked quite well -- even if I left you on 15hp, you'd have the edge because I couldn't move for a second and it would be hard for me to exactly see you

[next onyx]

What's more annoying is that "dead" bodies move more than alive ones, I understand yadda yadda but that was an old concern.

[onyx oar]

I mean from the scrapped 5v5

[bleak nebula]

Rewards teamplay over solo play

[lofty relic]

We don’t know if squad revive animations will be a thing or not this time

[somber hinge]

teamplay is still rewarded with delayed revives and helps balance the game

[next onyx]

I'm so used to shooting people i completely forget they get put in the Dbno stage

Despite dying almost 50K times

[somber hinge]

idc if its a animation just a 2-3 second delay like warzone

[vital idol]

But then again, their assault teammate who revived them had to be there, he deserves the support no?

[somber hinge]

You think assaults dont dish out dmg aswell?

[arctic grove]

you can see someone get downed in the players squad, it shows a revive icon above his head, but he wasn't squirming around and yelling for help, so I guess that's one good sign

[lofty relic]

When I say animation to me that’s the same as a delay. Whenever it’s not instant

[onyx oar]

It's simple you shoot him, wait for someone to pick him up and shoot them both. ez triple kill

[hardy kestrel]

Hardstop there - You're not ready for this convo and need to excuse yourself before you embarrass yourself further. You're CGA'ing HARDCORE STYLE right now and its vomit inducing and gross. Revive animations have NOTHING to do with realism and everything to do with representative realism and gameplay balance. In your world there are only two numbers 1 and 100 and you can't see the other 98 numbers in between. This not a binary equation where anything reflective of realism is tossed out. Nor is there anything realistic about someone being revived in 2-3 seconds. It is a simple and reasonable mechanic that prevents people from undoing kills and damage inflicted too easily. You don't want to get the drop on a squad, take 3 out only to die to the 4th and have them insta revive the whole squad thus negating your accomplishments.

[vital idol]

They do ofc but they have to get out the defib and then revive, ultimately making them an easy target for others, unless the place is clear

[next onyx]

I just throw fire onto their corpse if i know i can't watch the body

But

[lofty relic]

Yeah thta system in BFV didn’t work out well, people would often just cancel and die or wait forever

[somber hinge]

its not an easy target when they can instantly revive and get to cover

[next onyx]

I deliberately keep the medic alive when they're reviving their mate when i'm in the tank

Easy Double

[arctic grove]

Made kills feel way less satisfying too

[vital idol]

It takes them 2-5 seconds to that

[onyx oar]

That's more like it hahaha

[hardy kestrel]

The anti animation arguments are some of the dumbest - no the dumbest positions that any player can take.

[somber hinge]

I mean if you're playing a medic half the time you can sit cover and keep them charged

[lofty relic]

Please use multiple paragraphs when writing that much, I’m on my phone atm. Give me a sec

[somber hinge]

you don't need to 100% them either

just tap them

drop a medkit

Let's not forget the medic perk in bf4 which was absolutely broken lmfao

Warm and sweaty but a lot of fun. wbu?

[open dove]

Summer break? What is this sorcery?

[paper stump]

Still not over giving finals

Gonna be starting soon

[onyx oar]

Finished mine last week. Good luck with that 🙂

[paper stump]

Its for all the sweaty kids and germs u winter kids won't feel it

[paper stump]

Thx hope u get good grades

[vital idol]

I think longer revives but not too long would do the trick in conclusion. Don't want them to kill the flow of the game, but still want them balanced

[bronze mural]

lol you guys have summer breaks now

[arctic grove]

Really wish I could send images that pertain to this revive topic

[dim pumice]

bf4 revives were nice

is winter for me rn

It will flex all the heat out

[bronze mural]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[lofty relic]

Thanks for your friendly and non-aggressive message.

Actually, I do want that. I’m not purely talking about realism as ”milsim”, but realitsic elements that (for me) sacrifices fun.

To this day, I find that BF2 and BF3 are still my favorite and most memorable experiences. That’s the fun I’m referring to. I did not have half as fun in BFV, where animations were present for pretty much every action,

And so that’s what I’m basing my statement on. I’m not talking about Hardcore (which of course is te absolute worst game mode) or milsim, but the fact that fast revives and fewer animations give the game a better flow.

Sorry for wall but st least you get paragraphs for easy reading

[arctic grove]

I mean, I can't confirm or deny anims, but from the looks of the trailer, they got rid of the calling for help system from BFV

[open dove]

But he's fuckin dying over here

[bronze mural]

beautiful response

[paper stump]

Forgot to mention pee filled pools

That's just pure summer for ua

*ya

[slim quiver]

Yeah i noticed that since i think some guy was just laying unconcious on the ground

[tepid crane]

please ADD #waterpotatoroll ON BF4 AUSTRALIA if u want to team up with me

[slim quiver]

I just want the ability to have a revive animation. It made medic so much fun

[bronze mural]

https://www.zippo.com/collections/gaming

[paper stump]

Summer ain't it without overfilled swimming pools full of pee

[bronze mural]

for all my winter gamers out there

[somber hinge]

better flow and more casual unbalance, instant revives break the momentum of the game

[arctic grove]

I am not opposed to revive anims, but the calling for help system was beyond stupid

[lofty relic]

I feel the opposite

[bronze mural]

agreed

[tepid crane]

GET RID OF THE DUMB ASS SPECIALITIES EVERYONE IS A GRUNT WE DONT WANT TO LOOK LIKE A LESBIAN WHO HAS NEVER BEEN TO WAR

[somber hinge]

I mean its a literal fact its not an opinion that it breaks the momentum

[bronze mural]

passion oozing out of you

[lofty relic]

Besides, it may sound odd, but I feel like imbalance can also add to the fun

[somber hinge]

you don't get rewarded for a kill if they can be instantly revived into the fight

[arctic grove]

[tepid crane]

please ADD #waterpotatoroll ON BF4 AUSTRALIA if u want to team up with me

bye chat

[vital idol]

[lofty relic]

For me, having to stand by a body to first try and start the animation and then wait for it to finish, breaks the momentum

[arctic grove]

that sums up what this entire game looks like so far tbh

[lofty relic]

Good

[somber hinge]

Tbh though doesn't even matter what anyone says in this chat because whatever is in the game will stay/change based on majority of the community

if they listen

anyway

if not whatever they have now is final

[vital idol]

Which they will...

Hopefully.

[bronze mural]

cough cough vehicles in bf4 cough cough

[open dove]

lvl 140 attack heli go brrrrrrrrrrr

[lofty relic]

Depends. Very hard to balance things to everyones liking. As you can tell from this chat alone opinions often tend to be split

[vital idol]

Yeah bro, tanks take 5 MBT LAW rockets

[lofty relic]

I’ll admit in BF4 I only played heli, only thing I found fun in that game

[somber hinge]

imbalance can be fun remembers 100+ kill choppers in bf4

[bronze mural]

yeah and supposedly the mbt law is an ANTI TANK rocket launcher

[vital idol]

Yeah lol, really weird

[arctic grove]

people who say that heli's in 4 are unbalanced are also the people who can't aim rpg's

[bronze mural]

you were one of them...

[somber hinge]

thats probably why you love imbalance

[slim quiver]

thing is like Revive animations themselves dont really break the flow, it creates a flow for reviving and the role itself

[somber hinge]

helis where so broken in bf4

[lofty relic]

Sorry

[slim quiver]

when theres no revive animation, medic is braindead

[arctic grove]

They aren't if you can hit RPG shots

[lofty relic]

Nah, because I far more enjoyed BF3 as a whole

[bronze mural]

not when a hacker steps into one

[slim quiver]

you simply run around popping people up while you're on the move

[somber hinge]

gl with that

[slim quiver]

breaks all the skill involved in thinking

[somber hinge]

I played heli in bf4 also for a bit

it was so easy to go 100+ kills a game

until an admin force killed me

xd

[arctic grove]

Many pilots rely much too heavily on flares, if you just blindside them with rpg's they are fucked

[somber hinge]

I mean you say that rarely ever happens

[open dove]

the vehicle with most kill is the EOD bot for me, I find vehicles sooo boring

[bronze mural]

what if the entire team hits them with javelins at the same time

[somber hinge]

you get 1 lucky rpg shot I'ma wait on the heli timer xd

[slim quiver]

vehicle mains always annoy me in BF

[somber hinge]

gl with that on siege of shang

so many buildings

to get behind

[slim quiver]

they defend vehicles being broken to the death

[bleak nebula]

I remember playing with full javelin + soflam squads in bf3, that was good times

[lofty relic]

So much fun^

[royal trail]

[somber hinge]

I played vehicles and think they're op af I played infantry more though

[slim quiver]

any tanker in BF1 did this as well as planes

all I play is infantry because i refuse to ever become the person that defends vehicles

[bleak nebula]

[slim quiver]

Nobody can ever make the argument that i use vehicles too

because the longest time ive had in a tank in BFV was like 1 hr after 3 years of playing

[somber hinge]

I use vehicles because I know they're op

if they wont nerf them join them

[slim quiver]

yeah thats why i dont use them

[somber hinge]

I'm a meta slave I'm sorry

what can I say

[bronze mural]

that's why i look for infantry only servers

[vital idol]

I play infantry always as well

[lofty relic]

Which means you love imbalance lol

[slim quiver]

and when a vehicle main complains about the team being bad while they sit in a suit of armor with 50 kills and 1 death, its just sad

[somber hinge]

I mean I love balance but when I'm not given the choice I wont choose to lose against imbalance

[arctic grove]

yeah because attrition ruined tanks

[lofty relic]

Meta exists because of imbalance

[bleak nebula]

I heard bfv had more camping tanks than previous bfs

instead of playing objective

[open dove]

bf1 had camping artillery tanks

[bronze mural]

yeah i hate those people who not only exploit an imbalance but let their insecurity out on their team who is losing not because they are bad, but because the other team (or a couple vehicle lovers on that team) are better

[lofty relic]

Probably because of all them damn animations

[somber hinge]

true but something like slight gun imbalance to an entire revive system is entirely different and changes the game in a way bigger way

[arctic grove]

yeah because attrition encouraged camping

[bleak nebula]

good thing it's gone then

[royal trail]

bf2042 requirements when?

[bronze mural]

if only we could run around and revive everyone with an autoclicker immediately

[somber hinge]

probably around beta

[royal trail]

cool

i dont want to preorder a game i cant play

only have a gtx 1070 😦

[lofty relic]

I mean, people seem to love the pre-BFV games and I haven’t seen that many complaints about no revive animations

Until now ofc

[arctic grove]

then wait until whenever they announce it

[lofty relic]

Indeed, let’s hope

[somber hinge]

I mean you should be fine with that but ye you'll see specs before release

[bronze mural]

me over here with my gtx 1060

[somber hinge]

I mean I like revive animations and I know bfv was shit not becasue of revive animations though xd

[bleak nebula]

I'm a jet/plane main, but couldn't be bothered to fly in bf v, sure it's strong and can farm ground/infantry, but the air to air combat was soo bad and boring...

[somber hinge]

bf4 is my fav game but I dislike the instant revive

but they wont change it so why complain

[bronze mural]

to make oneself feel self validated

[royal trail]

i imagine bf2042 being much harder on the gpu as it has to render twice the amount of players

[somber hinge]

I mean I'm not on the dev team so I have no power on what changes

[bronze mural]

only has to render what's on the screen

[lofty relic]

It’s a well-known fact that BFV didn’t sell as much expected because of the revive animations alone

[bleak nebula]

I feel like why might get animated revives in bf2042 prob except for maria with her revive gun

[somber hinge]

huge statement can I get the evidence

[wispy vault]

this is what I'm expecting too

squad revives are returning, my prediction: probably with an animation, and it will only be select specialists that can perform instant revives

[somber hinge]

same to squad revive

[slim quiver]

BF games have always been about gameplay and immersion

[lofty relic]

Yes just focus and look straight into @arctic grove’s profile pic

[wispy vault]

unless defibs are an open slot gadget

[slim quiver]

and each new edition they have added more of an immersive feel to roles

[wispy vault]

we'll have to see

[slim quiver]

i just dont see how they would go back to one of the most goofy revive schemes imaginable

[somber hinge]

Why even type that when you have no idea what you're actually talking about

you act like that statement was a fact with no evidence behind it

[slim quiver]

all because people had a hard time healing in BFV and they were mad they actually had to think about playing medic

The more bad medics we flush out the better. Im so tired of having medics that do nothing

[vital idol]

Pretty sure he was messing w you

[somber hinge]

its true when things take more skill to pull off people get mad when they bad

[bleak nebula]

I always ran around with smoke to revive people in bf v

[lofty relic]

Huh? It was clearly a joke

[slim quiver]

I was revived more times in BFV than I was in BF4/BF3 tbh. Medics simply have an easier way to revive back in the day and yet they never even take advantage of it

[somber hinge]

poor joke

[slim quiver]

but in BFV, it flushed out the people who just didnt want to revive

[somber hinge]

same the smoke revive meta was poppin

[mystic plume]

a

[lofty relic]

Sorry if my extremely perfect sense of humor is lost on you

[slim quiver]

yeah because smokes in BFV are actually useful

because the spotting wasnt broken

[bleak nebula]

really? I got revived wayy more in bf3/4 than in bf v, like at least double the amount

[open dove]

it's true bc defib isn't an option unlike bf4

[vital idol]

I laughed

[slim quiver]

I had the complete opposite experience tbh @bleak nebula

lmao thats another thing

[open dove]

I had the same experience, I get revived a lot in BFV

[somber hinge]

same experience to you honestly everytime I died a poof of smoke then a hand grabs mine

[slim quiver]

in BF4 theres 1000 medics because of ARs and yet they change defib for a freaking M320

[open dove]

Outside Locker I NEVER get revived

[somber hinge]

I actually loved playing medic witht he animations

[bleak nebula]

I constantly revive and get revived in bf4, and I don't play much lockers, interesting

[wispy vault]

this is why I am a big fan of divorcing weapon/gadget slot from the roles

[slim quiver]

every BF game i main medic like 90% of the time and all i can say is BFV gave me the best medic experience feel out of any BF game. It was immersive, it required thinking and it was overall just a very fun and hectic class to play with animation and delay mechanics that made the entire class feel worth playing and made me feel good reviving

[onyx oar]

It's called the freedom launcher. pls get it right next time 😛

[somber hinge]

actually having to see if theres danger before reviving and popping smokes to deny vision so I can get off a safe revive

[wispy vault]

there's no reason anyone will play Maria Falck other than they actually want to revive people

so if you see one

you KNOW that they will help you

[lofty relic]

There’s a reason why everyone kept canceling to death screen while downed in BFV lol

[bleak nebula]

^

[next pecan]

Bro, you gotta find her son. She's looking for him

[olive cargo]

oh yeee

[slim quiver]

the funny part is how people who do not like the revive mechanic tend to be people that do not even play medic predominantly

[royal trail]

in bf4 metro defibs are meta, just run around and revive everyone and you become number 1

[olive cargo]

letsgetit

can't fkn wait

[bleak nebula]

I'm deffo gonna play maria often

[slim quiver]

Yeah i hate that mechanic

[onyx oar]

was in a 2 hour locker match yesterday and medics revived me in explosion filled doorways. They really tested my patience

[arctic grove]

I mained medic in V and I still thought the revives in that game were significantly badly designed

[next pecan]

That recon guy with a DMR and drone is gonna be dope af imo

[somber hinge]

free xp

[slim quiver]

Im not a fan of the syrette pistol

does it heal or does it revive?

[somber hinge]

heal

[bleak nebula]

both

[arctic grove]

heal only

[wispy vault]

both

[arctic grove]

no only heal

[onyx oar]

based

[bleak nebula]

no dice said both

[onyx oar]

no one knows

[slim quiver]

Yeah not everyone will like it, i just thought it was awesome compared to how it used to feel to play medic in every other game

[open dove]

it only heals but has limited ammo, I think it'll be fine

[somber hinge]

link

[arctic grove]

Ea's website literally only says heal

so I am going off of that

[slim quiver]

Good

im glad it doesnt revive

[wispy vault]

oh wait you're right

it's two seperate mechanics

[somber hinge]

heal

[slim quiver]

i hope it doesnt take up where med packs can be

[wispy vault]

the syrette pistol heals, and her revives bring back people to full HP

but that's presumably regular revives

[somber hinge]

and also falck 100% heals

[onyx oar]

So what's revive going to be? a tap on the back?

[slim quiver]

but what might be the case is just like BFV the revive tool will not take up a gadget, which in that case we can hope for a revive animation

[lofty relic]

A high five I’m pretty sure

[somber hinge]

ngl bet they add animations back

[onyx oar]

open mouth kiss hahahahaha

[slim quiver]

combat surgeon looks like syringe so

[somber hinge]

what a good addition

[wispy vault]

we know this to be true because Sundance could squad revive his teammate

[slim quiver]

or a knife

[wispy vault]

and he didn't have anything related to reviving in his slots

from the gameplay trailer

[somber hinge]

stab you to life

[arctic grove]

I guess, the animations were cool, if they just removed the crying for help mechanic ( which it looked like they did ) then I have no problem with an anim like stabbing a teammate with an adrenaline shot or something to revive them

[vale coral]

it'll be squad revives so anyone in your squad should be able to revive you regardless of who they are

[arctic grove]

guys will bf6 have old guns from bf3 bf4

[slim quiver]

the only thing that makes me nervous is because maria's is revive to full health trait, that means there are revives that are not full hp?

[royal trail]

i like the idea of being able to drag your downed teammate out of combat like in the bf3 campaign

[slim quiver]

maybe those are the squad revives

[tame token]

I did it, got the gold edition. I didn't think ultimate was worth it.

[bleak nebula]

it does revive, wait lemme get the link

[vale coral]

yeah squad revives dont do full heal unless specific specialist

[slim quiver]

yeah thats what im okay with

[open dove]

There are some old guns in the trailer, so I'd say yes

[somber hinge]

Ye Imo seeing that falck has a 100% revive perk I'm guessing everyone can revive so I'd assume animations are back

[onyx oar]

I don't really agree with that mechanic but is it's it's there. '

[slim quiver]

i didnt like the calling for help

but i like the animation

and i like the Incoming medic thing

[somber hinge]

just scream down my mic instead

[slim quiver]

where you can like point to a downed teammate

[somber hinge]

in squad chat

[slim quiver]

and let the person know youre coming

[open dove]

Also with the combat medic perk you are F A S T af

[slim quiver]

yea true

[tame token]

I mean its good to support developers but, damn.... $109.99....

[unborn quartz]

Do anyone use Cronusmax or Cronus zen here? Or what are your thoughts about these devices?

[onyx oar]

¨JONNY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BUY GOLD EDITION

[wispy vault]

https://imgur.com/UPivIf2

squad revive icon

[bleak nebula]

https://youtu.be/SdiI33GRABw?t=1579 timestamped, its the battlefield briefing, maria can revive from distance

[royal trail]

im going to be the nr1 dj on bf6 playing music through my mic

[tame token]

I just did

[somber hinge]

they're basically cheats for console that are not detected

[open dove]

It's the closest thing to cheating on console

[tame token]

I bought gold edition

xD

[onyx oar]

good xD seen you talking about buying the game for 3 days now xD

[unborn quartz]

Can you barely notice it or get suspicious that some enemy using it?

[unborn quartz]

So its a big disrespect right

[arctic grove]

It just made gunplay feel way less smooth, like you can light a guy up 30 times in the chest, then he just screams and lies in pain, with no physical interactivity or way to finish him off, it's just a really weirdly implemented design choice and it also breaks even more of what little immersion BFV had

[somber hinge]

I mean the thing can give you no recoil let you plug in a mouse and keyboard and have aimassist at the same time

[onyx oar]

no it's straight up cheating on console.

[slim quiver]

yeah thats why i didnt like it, it just felt weird

[open dove]

Yeah it makes you think you're good lol

[somber hinge]

it is straight up cheating xd

there no inbetween

with cronus

mouse and keyoard + aimassist + norecoil

its crazy

[unborn quartz]

I heard aim assist was not good enough of that device

[onyx oar]

yep best thing to do is support mouse n keyboard on consoles now since crossplay is becoming the norm (specially when Sony stop being a poopypants about it)

[unborn quartz]

But yes no recoil and rapid fire things are broken

[somber hinge]

it uses ingame aimassist like warzone aimassist will work on mouse

because it detects it as a controller

[tame token]

And I managed to get a program that teaches me C++ in the process, so all is good.

[arctic grove]

fr lmao? what a fucking terrible game

[unborn quartz]

Thank you for thoughts guys I got it all know
