6: LMG
Please respond once to that, and once more for side arm

7: Revolver

[shy rapids]

[bleak nebula]

E grill confirmed

[arctic grove]

IM NOT

[sullen badge]

You sure

Just checking

[shy rapids]

Please make pistols and LMGs good in BF 2042

PLEASE

[lunar smelt]

1

[arctic grove]

people think i am

but i am not

LOL

[hard cave]

Just respond using an emoju

[sullen badge]

Just checking bro

[lone wren]

DMR I'd just a semi auto sniper

[lunar smelt]

Kpop is just budget rap

[lone wren]

Is

[shy rapids]

Wheres LMG?

[lunar smelt]

change my mind

[shy rapids]

Kpop more like kpoop

[arctic grove]

i love kpop

[shy rapids]

[lunar smelt]

ik

[shy rapids]

I don't

[hard cave]

Fixed. I never play support. Forgot about LMGs

[lone wren]

Im getting ptsd to the hackers that use laser beam lmg or mmg

[lunar smelt]

whoever gets this message deserve the Phantom phase 5 assignment: .-- . / .-- . .-. . / ... --- .-.. -.. .. . .-. ... / --- -. -.-. . / ... - .-. --- -. --. / .- -. -.. / -.-- --- ..- -. --.

[hard cave]

My goal is to see if one weapon will be used over all others in BF2042

[lunar smelt]

probably AEK-179

[lone wren]

I will use all weapons

[sullen badge]

Probably ar and sniper

But yea all weapons will be used

[lone wren]

No

[lunar smelt]

for sweats like me surely

[lone wren]

For all I know DMR might take the spotlight

[lunar smelt]

dont give me nightmares

no

[hard cave]

If there is one weapon the entire fanbase fangirls over, then for certain it will be messy in BF2042. But, if it's an even spread, I see no problem with it

[lunar smelt]

DMR is worse than everything I've ever seej

[arctic grove]

never mind!

i got BFH working

[lone wren]

Bf4 flashbacks @lunar smelt

[arctic grove]

it was a punkbustser issue

[shy rapids]

I don't play support either but LMGs in MW are super fun to use

[arctic grove]

wait what

this game looks great

for being from 2015

[lunar smelt]

tell that to bf3

[lunar smelt]

too many

[lone wren]

Bf3 ngl looks amazing still

[hard cave]

I just don't like automatic weapons, generally

[lunar smelt]

still is better than Ccod

[hard cave]

I prefer something that hits like a truck once, then something that dusts

[lunar smelt]

extremly low sens player i see

[hard cave]

Eh, sorta

[lunar smelt]

cant control the spray woth low sens, ik what you mean

[hard cave]

Yeah

[lunar smelt]

and then there's me

probably the only bf player in the universe who plays with mouse accel

[arctic grove]

why do you play with mouse accel

[lone wren]

I am a basic person I use mouse and keyboard but sometimes my quick reaction saves me

[arctic grove]

I play on high sense

My DPI is like 1200

[lunar smelt]

why not?

[arctic grove]

and I always make my sense high

[lunar smelt]

you're good with your fingers then eh?

[arctic grove]

LOL

yea actually I type really fast and respond really fast

I’m just used to high sen

never changing that

[sullen badge]

What's wrong with dmr

[lunar smelt]

no

[sullen badge]

@arctic grove you've got those long feminine fingers

[lunar smelt]

dont

[tiny wharf]

BF2042 gonna be broken at launch

[sullen badge]

Yes

[lunar smelt]

meh

[sullen badge]

Do

[lunar smelt]

not really

[arctic grove]

LMFAOOOO YOU ALREADY KNOW BROTHER

[lunar smelt]

3 years in development and a Beta still coming along the way

[lone wren]

All games break at launch

[tiny wharf]

Bro the game is 100% online only, Source code got leaked and is out on the internet, new machine learning ai cheat software that is undetectable and general EA servers

[lunar smelt]

femboy?

[arctic grove]

no

people think I’m feminine on discord

I’m really not

it’s just my PFP

[tiny wharf]

You’re a pufta aren’t you?

[sullen badge]

I just like teasing him for fun

[arctic grove]

that fuck is that

[lunar smelt]

I just assumed because of the reaction to "you've got those long feminine fingers"

[arctic grove]

LMFAOOOO

HOWEWWW

Bro if I was a girl I’d be creeped the fuck out

at least personally

[lone wren]

I do hoo I have fun in battlefield 2042 when beta is up

[arctic grove]

CANT WAIT

FOR THE BETA

[lunar smelt]

how tf do you know how a girl would feel about that D:

[arctic grove]

WORTH

cause

I’m friends with many girls

who play games

[lunar smelt]

explains alot

[arctic grove]

and I can’t really speak for all actually

[lunar smelt]

"key information unlocked"

[arctic grove]

but personally how they react to guys

LMDAOOO

[tiny wharf]

I knew you would play LoL

Just by your pfp

[nova idol]

League is cringe

[sullen badge]

Ok guys that's enough

[lunar smelt]

playerbase summarized

[arctic grove]

[lunar smelt]

but atleast there's some hope in people

going Pacifist Ahri mid

no attacks or farming, just dancing

[fair ivy]

Thunk thunk thunk thunk

Boom boom boom boom

[lunar smelt]

i just heard that in my ear

[fair ivy]

FIZE YOU KILLED THE HOSTAGE

*fuze

[lunar smelt]

ah yes

the good ol "fizz"

in r6s

[lone wren]

Im glad I still have a good performance gpu and cpu

[fair ivy]

Bro I i lost my champion rank

[lone wren]

For bf2042

[lunar smelt]

feelsbadman

[tiny wharf]

How are you playing CS GO for six hours now?

[lunar smelt]

it's like texting and driving

dm

[fair ivy]

This is battlefield 2042 not csgo

[lunar smelt]

I'm sorry that i dont have access to bf2042 so that I'm able to write in this channel

[lone wren]

2080 RTX is what I use for my games

[tiny wharf]

Fantastic

[lone wren]

Well I know my gpu and CPU can handle bf2042

[arctic grove]

Cool

[lone wren]

Lower case c full caps ool

Funny

What weapons would yall touch on the beta

[lunar smelt]

Aek

[lone wren]

Only if it is a thing in beta

[lunar smelt]

aek

[lone wren]

Yes

The aek

[lunar smelt]

ake _957

[lone wren]

I used it it deletes enemies within seconds in medium quarters

[lunar smelt]

Spray transfer

[lone wren]

But nowadays on bf4 I use the M16a4

[west osprey]

Let's go crossplay confirmed

Now some regions servers won't die out

[lone wren]

Well that sounds fun

Having someone with a controller have a mild aim snap

[west osprey]

I just hope there's enough next gen consoles by launch lol

Or else PC will be carrying the player base

[lone wren]

Yet again

Or as always

[delicate hollow]

i wouldnt be opposed

[lone wren]

I dont feel opposed either

[west osprey]

Kinda wished PC and next gen had the option to crossplay with last gen

[delicate hollow]

it is how it is

[west osprey]

On 64 player lobbies

[lone wren]

But xbox one may not survive playing bf2042

[arctic grove]

SHEES

[delicate hollow]

i should get a space heater

i mean console

[lone wren]

Imagine playing bf2042 on xbox 360

[delicate hollow]

maybe at 240p it would be possible

[lone wren]

Dem pixels

[west osprey]

Cross progression is good to have as well

Woulda been stupid if I had to restart my progression

To diff console

[delicate hollow]

cross progress would be cool

but i would never need it

[lone wren]

I hope to the bf gods that the console players don't have the power to equal the pc players

[west osprey]

Lot of my doubts of the game are clear in terms of crossplay and stuff

[arctic grove]

PC GANG

[lone wren]

Pc gang

[west osprey]

Ye same PC

[delicate hollow]

pc gang

[west osprey]

But like it's good to have if I wanna play at my mates for eg

Who is lower rank idk

[arctic grove]

eg

[west osprey]

And I wanna use my load out

[lone wren]

Egg

[west osprey]

Egg

[arctic grove]

this game iis pretty fun

[lone wren]

Speaking of dinosaurs from earlier the weapon charm with preorder is dinosaur

[west osprey]

We just need the beta now

[lone wren]

Mr chompy

[west osprey]

Btw will the beta be crossplay

[lunar smelt]

probably

[west osprey]

I can get lot of my friends on the game without them paying lol

[lunar smelt]

beta is there to test stuff out and to give people a feeling on how the game is gonna be like

[soft kayak]

Once safely on the ground, Ranger will follow and protect you and even put your life above their own! You’ll also be able to issue orders such as scouting a location, having them return to you and follow you. If a situation becomes dire, you can also command Ranger to self-destruct.
Mfw the dog is an AI and cant be remotely controlled

There goes all my plans of c4 dogs

[lone wren]

If it is God have mercy on our pc souls if the consoles are equal to us

[west osprey]

And if they like they'll buy

[delicate hollow]

did you miss the part right at the bottom where it says you can strap c4 and send ranger in

[west osprey]

Console will prob have some type of aim assist, not super locked on but partial

[lunar smelt]

place c6 and let him scout the inside of a tank

[west osprey]

In crossplay sessions

[lone wren]

@delicate hollow I was about to say to u c5 but its only a bit more boom

[worthy inlet]

"go scout next to that dude then self destruct"

[soft kayak]

I posted this while reading it. But still something tells me that sending an AI into an enemy tank is going to be imprecise

[delicate hollow]

meh

potato potato

[lunar smelt]

"KICKSTART MY HEART, GIVE IT A START"

[lone wren]

Woah yeah

[lunar smelt]

famous last words

[arctic grove]

ranger dogs with a built in self destruct + c4 sounds op, but tbf the entire game sounds op everytime they list a new feature

[lunar smelt]

of a ranger

[west osprey]

The fact that AI can revive teammates is gonna be so good lol

Better than most medics already

[delicate hollow]

all

[lone wren]

Yay

Ai medics are better than human medics

[west osprey]

Wouldn't say all I have seen some really good med players

Before

[arctic grove]

yeah in BFV medic was really op

[west osprey]

Ye in bfv

[lunar smelt]

i can already see some youtube title's like: "THE MEDIC WHO ONLY REVIVES AND NEVER GOT A SINGLE KILL"

[slim quiver]

As a medic main I refuse to let anyone assume an AI is better than a human player at medic

[soft kayak]

Environmental Hazards like EMP storms
👀

[lone wren]

Im getting ptsd now due bf1 players just standing around using a semi auto rifle and heal themselves

[arctic grove]

yeah medics will probably just blindly bum rush your corpse and getting mowed down

AI medics*

[slim quiver]

Well to be fair BF1 had the worst weapon choice for a medic

What did people expect was going to happen

[arctic grove]

idk I kinda liked the switch up

[slim quiver]

They gave them semi automatic rifles

[arctic grove]

plus medic in bf1 had some pretty good weapons

[lone wren]

At least the only weapon good on bf1 for the medic is the federov

[soft kayak]

probably trying to mirror bf4's assault class

[slim quiver]

The only time medics started to get like active in frontline healing was federov spam

[soft kayak]

I still think Medics should have gotten bolt action carbines

[slim quiver]

I think the best medic weapon is actually RSC1917

[arctic grove]

I mean yeah if it had proper weapons then those would probably be one of the only WW1 weapons that worked most of the time aside from bolty's 🤣

[west osprey]

Sadly no naval warfare on launch

But I expect that itself to get a big update

[lone wren]

@slim quiver im talking about if they decide to revive u not snipe people in two shots

[slim quiver]

Yeah part of why that decision exists is because of their weapon type

[soft kayak]

Once you’ve called-in a vehicle, you will incur a cooldown so everyone has a fair chance to call-in support.
Thank god its not that awful points system from battlefront

[arctic grove]

I was thinking, they already have the mud decals on weapons and stuff, it would be cool to take it a step further and have some non gameplay effecting jamming/cleaning anims for them

[slim quiver]

Medics in BFV were generally more active because of the smoke grenade launcher and the smg weapon type

So they were closer to frontline engagements

[lunar smelt]

Couldn't agree more with that

[arctic grove]

like maybe if you sit in the mud and get mud all over your gun, while you arent shooting your character pulls the bolt back and wipes out the chamber, would be cool

[slim quiver]

Funny enough BFV just took the medic kit from 1942

Since BF1942 had medics using smgs

[arctic grove]

Yeah except V had major balance issues with SMG's

and the smokes were a bit too much

[slim quiver]

Yeah it bounced a lot

Well the smokes finally had use

[arctic grove]

I mean the amount of smokes

[slim quiver]

BF4 smokes were useless

[arctic grove]

5 is too much

[arctic grove]

true

[lone wren]

Once I collect every weapon in bf1 I am retiring

Im retiring bf1

Then going full focus on bf2042

[soft kayak]

• spends a lot of time collecting all the weapons
• doesnt use them once he has collected them
  god I hate progression in mp games

[arctic grove]

@soft kayak its even worse with the BF4 battlepacks lol

still the worst part about 4

[lone wren]

@soft kayak actually I use them

[soft kayak]

only thing worse then the battlepacks was the rest of the progression system.

[arctic grove]

wtf is the server selector for BF Hardline

[lone wren]

Even if people I know don't use weapons once they unlock them

[arctic grove]

why does it send me to google

lmfao

[arctic grove]

battlelog

[arctic grove]

i wasnt playing battlefield in the older days, so what exactly is it?

server browser in google

and its terrible

but why

????

[soft kayak]

Battlefield 2042 is a multiplayer-only experience. So while you can play Solo against AI Soldiers if you’d like to practice, it will be in an online setting.
...
What?

[slim quiver]

To be fair part of this is because of meta hogs

[arctic grove]

why not just have it in game

[lone wren]

Battle log was a website to go into servers

[slim quiver]

Weapons get skipped over usually for being garbage

[arctic grove]

why not just do it via the game?

[arctic grove]

because EA are insane

not battlelog

🔥

You wont find a BFH server anyway

[arctic grove]

theres a couple

it only has 37 people on globally rn

i was having fun earlier

thats not true

i saw a few, there were at least like 50 on overall

lol

[lone wren]

For some crazy reason bf4 sometimes when I use to be new to bf4 it sent me to battlelog not the ingame browser

[arctic grove]

well yeah 50 earlier

no i mean now

hm

oh the counter only updates every hour

nvm

[lone wren]

Do you guys remember the tank hunter attack plane from bf1

[arctic grove]

no but I do remember the grenade dropping one

infuriating

[lone wren]

Oh the grenade parade

[soft kayak]

it was in bfv as well

[lone wren]

@soft kayak ah yes I never played bfv much so no progression

[tiny wharf]

BFV had no progression

[lone wren]

I rather get killed by bf4 movement sweat abusers

[arctic grove]

True lol

[tiny wharf]

You buy the definitive edition and everything is unlocked

[soft kayak]

On that note: I dont think the AT plane had any historical basis at all.
Like usually there was some obscure thing that inspired a bf1 gun

[soft kayak]

good

[still tusk]

im guilty of that

[arctic grove]

"Let me get 200 company coins and buy the best gun in the game lolololololol"

[soft kayak]

also good

[radiant prism]

Well yeah, if you buy the edition that unlocks everything, of course there’s no progression

[arctic grove]

EA Pro Tip: Pay less to play more

[lone wren]

Mg-42 I abused in a very particular map one time

[soft kayak]

Currency is far better than kill grinding. It gives the player more freedom with how they want to go about getting something. While they still shouldnt have to do a bunch of crap to earn items in the first place, this is much better

[rich agate]

EA Pro Tip: Pay more to play less

[arctic grove]

true

[rich agate]

buy all RCB and AA things for $20

[lone wren]

Money does drives players away once they got certain things

[rich agate]

at rank 1

😎

[soft kayak]

?

[lone wren]

Woops im on my phone so expect stupid auto correction not let say things properly

[arctic grove]

Disagree, a lot of the challenges are obscure and anti team play, also being able to buy the best gun in the game immediately instead of actually progressing your gun skills with that specific class promoted anti learning and cheese gameplay instead

[radiant prism]

Paid unlocks do kill incentive to play the game….but BFV isn’t really guilty of that

[slim quiver]

BFV did rank unlocks on top of coins

But it worked fine

[radiant prism]

Most of the “best guns in the game” are unlockable only through progression, namely the StG-44 and 1-5, the Thompson, Suomi, Bren, FG-42, MG-42, and most snipers are unlocked through progression only

[lone wren]

All I hear is the sound of guns at 1000 RPM to be used

[soft kayak]

challenges were dumb I agree. Currency as a concept though is not.

being able to buy the best gun in the game immediately instead of actually progressing your gun skills with that specific class
There shouldn't be a "best gun" in a weapon type in the first place. Thats just a failure of balancing

[radiant prism]

Only weapons that were added post-launch are buyable with CC

[slim quiver]

Weapons should be better balanced tbh

[arctic grove]

again, why?

why did they do that lol

literally just destroyed balance further

it was pointless

[slim quiver]

Because it’s not hard to earn CC

[soft kayak]

What? How is this related to balance?

[arctic grove]

Because you can buy guns

[soft kayak]

putting a weapon behind a grind wall doesnt make it more or less balanced

[slim quiver]

The weapons unlocked post launch you had to complete weekly’s otherwise you bought them

[arctic grove]

still

[lone wren]

AA Rocket gun is a very unused gear from bf1

[arctic grove]

it was pointless

should have just kept all weapons locked behind skills and challanges

[soft kayak]

its better than putting the guns I want behind all the guns I dont. Just let me get the item I want.

[arctic grove]

Dude thats the point

your supposed to work for that shit

thats the entire point of the game

[slim quiver]

I don’t think progression is bad tbh

[soft kayak]

the point of the game is sandbox fun but unfortunately I have to do a bunch of chores to use what I want in the sand box

[slim quiver]

It’s a very basic system that has been in FPS games for over a decade

And has proven to be something that players genuinely tend to enjoy for the most part. If there’s a balancing issue that’s a different story

[arctic grove]

You progress, and as you rank up you get better, you start getting more kills and more proficient with that weapon type, then eventually you unlock the gun you want

[lone wren]

People just complain that weapons suck because all the people play is either a overused weapon which gives you no progression to the next weapon

[soft kayak]

I question the "genuinely" part. A lot of times people find the challenge or grind in games unfun.

[slim quiver]

Challenges is one thing

Grind is another

[arctic grove]

getting things immediately is a lot less rewarding and more boring

ngl

[soft kayak]

grinding a class has nothing to do with skill. You could be complete ass and still get to the top of a class rank.

[arctic grove]

There is grind, and then there is GRIND

[lone wren]

I committed a grind to get a Russian revolver for a while

[slim quiver]

There’s an entire genre that’s gained popularity immensely over the past 10 years that has done just that( Looter shooters like destiny, the division, etc)

[arctic grove]

[arctic grove]

Yeah but it takes a ton longer

[soft kayak]

having to do chores or play a certain way is less rewarding and boring.

[soft kayak]

Not really

[arctic grove]

Yes it does

less kills=less objective time=less points

[slim quiver]

All i know is I don’t think anyone has to worry all that much about 2042

[lone wren]

What's the point of wasting money just to get bored the next day after spending it to get every weapon in a game

[soft kayak]

less kills=less objective time
This is not true at all

[lone wren]

I love progressing

[arctic grove]

"chores" its called playing the game, if that is your definition of chores, then almost every single MP game ever has "chores"

[soft kayak]

If your mp game is boring when players have everything, then its a really shitty mp game

[soft kayak]

To get an item I have to play in a specific way, regardless if I actually want to play in that manner

[slim quiver]

Honestly games can get boring if you play them enough

Some take longer than others

[lone wren]

@soft kayak I don't get bored when I use guns that are barely used by anyone to get a new gun and use that gun to get a new gun

[arctic grove]

Yeah it is less kills=more deaths=more time spent respawning

[soft kayak]

sure, any game can. But if that is dependent soley on progression then you have a bad game

[worldly star]

i made the mistake of buying bfv definitive edition

[slim quiver]

Yeah but I don’t think BF is tbh

[soft kayak]

less kills=more deaths
Also not true.

[slim quiver]

Certain games make you chase certain things

[worldly star]

i hate that it just gives you all the stuff

[soft kayak]

and when you get all the guns?

By your own admission: the game becomes worthless

[lone wren]

Nah

Not really

[arctic grove]

So if you think that then why are you against progression lol

[slim quiver]

Some games have different forms of progression that keep people hooked

[arctic grove]

if it had no progression that issue would be worse

[soft kayak]

If you dont have fun without progression then whats the point?

And if you do have fun without it then why need progression?

[lone wren]

Despite mentioning retiring I did not say uninstall but just as a leave it in the closet for a while

[slim quiver]

People like to make progress in games. Whether it’s unlocks, sharpening skills Etc

[flint jay]

Nito does have a point

[arctic grove]

every single game ever has at least some form of progression

lol

[soft kayak]

I don't. He does.

If a game is not worth playing once you get everything, then it is trash

[slim quiver]

There’s a lot of different ways a game can implement a progression system

[arctic grove]

Flawed logic

[lone wren]

I dont see games as trash

[soft kayak]

this is not true. In fact some of the most played games of all time are either: no progression, random drops, or cosmetic only progression

[arctic grove]

Yoooooo! Crossplay and cross progression is confirmed!

[lone wren]

@arctic grove yup

Pretty much

[arctic grove]

List one game with no progression

[soft kayak]

Counter strike

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 2042 is going to be the last competitive game I buy lmao

[arctic grove]

It has progression, refining your skills over time and learning the maps

[radiant prism]

That’s called getting good at the game

[arctic grove]

Its called progressing in the game

[soft kayak]

thats not progression in the sense we're talking about. There is genuinely getting better and there is doing chores for items

[lone wren]

Chores are the best part of gaming

In multiplayer sake

[soft kayak]

@arctic grove If you dont see the difference between genuine self improvement and completing a checklist for items than I dont think this conversation will go anywhere

[arctic grove]

Well the definition of chores in that sense is highly subjective, not only is it an opinion but it also highly varies from game to game

[next onyx]

Reducing your aa improving your aim goes a long way

[radiant prism]

Ok, great. By that same logic, BFV is just fine as well, because even if you unlock everything in the game, there’s still the matter of refining skills and learning maps.

[lone wren]

Indeed way

[next onyx]

Killing people is just another chore

In game

Not real life, don't get any ideas.

[lone wren]

Lmao

[arctic grove]

It isn't "just fine" but yes that is still a form of progression even if it is quite lackluster

[radiant prism]

“Killing people is such a chore amiright?” -Waygyanba, 2k21

[next onyx]

You'd be surprised how many people want to improve their aim

HEY

[shy rapids]

So just pistols or burst?

[soft kayak]

Do you know the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic rewards?

[radiant prism]

So even though they’re fundamentally identical, BFV doesn’t count? Wack

[arctic grove]

Nah I don't browse reddit homie, sorry

[next onyx]

It sucks there aren't service stars

[radiant prism]

How to confirm that you browse Reddit 101

[next onyx]

But you can still set landmarks

[soft kayak]

Not something I learned from reddit but OK.

[arctic grove]

I never said it didn't count, I said it was lackluster in my opinion

[radiant prism]

Claim you don’t browse Reddit

[arctic grove]

it still is 100% a form of progression

[radiant prism]

Ok, good. Just wanted to make sure you understood the concept of opinion.

[arctic grove]

[soft kayak]

youre conflating two very different types of progression here.
Genuinely getting better and grinding kills are not the same

[lone wren]

Yes everyone has a different view to thinfs

Things

[arctic grove]

Well again that's highly subjective

You could argue that grinding kills is part of getting better

[lone wren]

Anyway who will be using the vector when bf2042 is around

[flint jay]

Hell yeah poggers as hell

Vector one of my fav guns

[soft kayak]

Not necessarily at all.
You can increase the kill count and have the same level of skill, or even get worse if you get into some bad habits.

[arctic grove]

I'll be using whatever uzi/mac10 type weapon they have

[delicate dune]

2142....blah

[lone wren]

What

[arctic grove]

bigmac 10

[soft kayak]

Im curious about that 45acp/9mm smg they have.

[arctic grove]

Tommy gun

☑️

[soft kayak]

Nah man, its a tommy gun and an mp40

[arctic grove]

and a gatling gun directly photo modeled from the actual civil war

[soft kayak]

I do wonder how far the plus system will go, and how many options are available.

[arctic grove]

I just hope you cant turn an SMG into a shotgun by using attachments mid game

[flint jay]

[arctic grove]

or AR into Sniper

[soft kayak]

you can turn an ar into a shotgun in bf4

But yeah I hope the system doesnt give you so many options that weapon choice becomes meaningless

[arctic grove]

or like coldwar with their magical mags

and 12 count revolvers

[soft kayak]

I dont play cod, whats this?

[arctic grove]

despite only having 6 slots

[arctic grove]

guns hold more bullets than physically possible

defies all logic

[flint jay]

They already said the plus system isn't going to magically turn one weapon archetype into another

[arctic grove]

I will believe it when I see it

[lunar venture]

that's one of the big reasons why i liked MW 2019 so much

[soft kayak]

well we see that theres drum mags in the game so its probably different models

[flint jay]

I think they mentioned letting you choose only a few options to swap to on the field

[arctic grove]

nah MW actually paid attention to that shit

[lunar venture]

the attention to detail for everything weapon realated was so accurate

[arctic grove]

yeah

[soft kayak]

Probably 2 per attachment slot

[flint jay]

From your original yeah

[arctic grove]

in cold war the empty inspect animation doesn't even show the gun as empty

[soft kayak]

now if only they acted like real weapons

[next onyx]

I think I saw 3 different mags nito, but that may be the basic mag at the start

[arctic grove]

idk that seems kinda weird, 2 lasers? 2 muzzles? lol

[flint jay]

Plus how would you be able to turn a SMG into a sniper like they're obviously not going to let you put a x8 scope on it and changing the foregrip/barrel isn't going to make it long range

[lunar venture]

the 60 round fast mag for the M16 in Cold War is literally the exact same mag as the default 30 round mag with a piece of tape around it

[soft kayak]

You pick 2 and then you can switch between those 2 and stock with the plus system

[next onyx]

I've seen some concern over extended mags

[arctic grove]

CW devs: Tape and different color make gun bang shoot and bullet appear in mag!

[soft kayak]

So say I choose a silencer and muzzle break. I cant put both on at once, but I can switch them out mid game, or take them off

[next onyx]

Don't understand how big mags can be so concerning

[arctic grove]

hm yeah sounds about right, maybe 3 or 4 should be the limit though

[next onyx]

I was about to mention those two nito but moved on to type something else

[lunar venture]

idk man. i've watched videos of people shooting the real life version of a lot of the guns in MW and Infinity Ward did their homework imo

[flint jay]

I think the plus system will be alright, it just depends on how attachments work and how much power they have

[soft kayak]

well what we see in the trailer is 2 per slot.

[arctic grove]

yeah in MW they clearly consulted a lot of experts

and shot real firearms for the animations most likely

[soft kayak]

-no sway
-magazine magically replenish ammo
-hipfire and firing on the move is silly

[arctic grove]

that one youtube guy who made meme reload animations, hyper, made a lot of the gun animations

[lunar venture]

yup. it was just really refreshing to see a CoD developer actually put some real effort into the small details.

[arctic grove]

well its not supposed to be super realistic

[lunar venture]

that's just CoD formula tho. basically it wouldn't be CoD without those haha

[flint jay]

That World War 3 game did an update recently with a video to announce they're working on re-launching it and they have a the plus system too, the weapon/character/vehicle customisation is so insane too, to the point you can even customise turrets, hatches, it's so cool. Wish BF2042 was that detailed

[arctic grove]

most of that stuff is more prevalent in CW, but the hip fire and sway thing was done for gameplay

[soft kayak]

we see its 2 per attachment slot. So 2 barrels, 2 underbarrels, 2 sights, and 2 magazines/ammo types

[lunar venture]

I WANT REALISTIC RELOADING IN BF2042

[next onyx]

How realistic can you get asides from putting the mag in?

[flint jay]

Add super-rare animation of dropping a mag

+2s to reload

[lunar venture]

tarkov or insurgency

there

[next onyx]

Literally that's all reloads are... just a removal and reinsert of the mag, or fresh stripper

[wide shore]

I just want some satisfying reloads. Dem MW 2019 reloads are chunky and weighty.

[arctic grove]

Correct charging handle, seeing the bullet go physically into the chamber, correct hand held positions, etc.

[lunar venture]

there isnt an bullet count, it's a mag count

[arctic grove]

reloading is art

[next onyx]

I know but really

[arctic grove]

Reloading can also make a shitty gun still feel good to shoot

due to snappy high quality animations

[lunar venture]

if you've got 30 rounds and shoot 10 and then reload, either you drop the mag and you lose those 20 rounds or you put back in your slot or wherever

[arctic grove]

makes the gun feel more impactful

[wide shore]

I remember when BF4 had the mag system for a while. Not a fan of it in BF

[lunar venture]

it's a massive peeve of mine in shooters

[delicate hollow]

I do like games that do that mag saving thing but bf is too casual for that

[arctic grove]

yeah luckily I have seen more and more games have the character save half empty mags lately

[delicate hollow]

It would just feel off to me

[lunar venture]

just like melees for some reason do more damage than damn bullet

[arctic grove]

if it was realistic, and mag saving and whatever was a thing,that would be stupid unless its in a hyper realistic shooter

[wide shore]

Just have them do the MW thing where on semi-full reloads they save the mag instead of dumping it.

[arctic grove]

BFV had half empty reload anims it just didnt really factor into gameplay as much as a game like RS2

[lunar venture]

R6 is the absolute worst when it comes to melees

[soft kayak]

I want a California compliant rifle in 2042
https://youtu.be/7msThWgSXrA?t=59

[arctic grove]

oh god oh fuck

[lunar venture]

animations aren't what im referring to.

[arctic grove]

disgusting

remove california from real life pls

make it fictional

[wide shore]

The BF1 Lebel Reload.

[soft kayak]

that reload is amazing though

[arctic grove]

why is the fucking climbing so bad in hardline

this is so sad

[wide shore]

Or the parabellum’s Multiple reloads.

[arctic grove]

reloading that shit like a vietnam thumper lol

[soft kayak]

exactly

[lunar venture]

the china lake?

[arctic grove]

nah

regular M67 grenade launcher

[delicate hollow]

China lake isn't the only grenade launcher

[soft kayak]

Its such a creative way to get around gun laws I love it.

[delicate hollow]

There are a lot more

[wide shore]

That break action, baby

[lunar venture]

ah. the GL from MW2 was called the thumper and then it was changed to the china lake in BO1

[arctic grove]

lol cali laws are so fucking stupid regarding rifles anyway, people can still basically full auto them pretty easily

[shy rapids]

Game news is sounding a bit sus...

[soft kayak]

Not the same gun. China lake is a pump action GL

[lunar venture]

they're still forced to wear those dumbass covid masks

[arctic grove]

China Lake was never even really deployed in combat tbh

It was barely used

more of a concept weapon

[lunar venture]

so basically nothing CA does surprises me when it comes to being moronic.

[soft kayak]

whats the bad word, joker pfp man?

[arctic grove]

spas 12 in 2042 pls

[lunar venture]

semi or pump?

[soft kayak]

Hey look, gun laws aside, that reload is awesome and I want it in 2042. Break action assault rifle

[arctic grove]

semi obviously

[wide shore]

Both.

[arctic grove]

why use pump on a spas

[soft kayak]

both

[lunar venture]

that would be awesome

[soft kayak]

isnt the pump meant for special ammo?

[wide shore]

Be the first game (I’ve seen) that actually does both.

[shy rapids]

Why are AI driving and using vehicles, and so no crossplay between PC for PS4 or Xbox, and oh yes, enemies look the same as your teammates? C'mon

[arctic grove]

idk it might be, dunno much about the spas

[lunar venture]

why are those bad things?

[shy rapids]

They could've done what Activision did, which was Russia vs US, had separate skins for each factions

[arctic grove]

heavily agreed honestly, specialists should be seperated by team

[wide shore]

But then they’d need to make faction specific specialists. And we know that’s too much work

[soft kayak]

Bf4 has a bunch of US v US servers and team recognition isnt an issue, even on hardcore. I dont really care.

[shy rapids]

Ai users are taking up vehicles that could go to real players? I would like to have more players in general, so PC being involved would be neat

[lunar venture]

XBONE and PS4 only have 64 player lobbies so it makes sense that they cant cross-platform play

[arctic grove]

t-to much work Billion dollar company making a AAA live service game

[lunar venture]

PS5, Series S/X and PC are gonna have cross play

[soft kayak]

In older games any player could commandeer a vehicle from a bot on their team. Im hoping this is the case

[wide shore]

They don’t have the tech

[shy rapids]

Yeah, but MW19 had Russia vs US and things are quite different now, it would make more sense to have faction based specialist then just seeing the same person. RS6 doesn't do that either

[arctic grove]

How hard is it to make team based UI and then add 5 specific specialists for russia, and 5 for us

not hard

like really easy

[radiant prism]

@next onyx you available right now?

[flint jay]

Make it then

[wide shore]

Too much work!

[flint jay]

[shy rapids]

Well its too little work to have them on the same factions

[arctic grove]

Nah dont think I will

I'm not getting paid 6 figures to do it

[shy rapids]

Why can't PC have options to play 64p lobbies?

[lunar venture]

balance issues i suppose

[soft kayak]

For every 2 faction specific specialists they could make 2 specialists I can use whenever I want.

[lunar venture]

uhhh why would you wanna do that?

[arctic grove]

I mean i guess having non team specific specialists makes sense

because they are just mercs

but still

[wide shore]

Personally, don’t care much. They said that they’re working on ways to make it obvious that the enemy is the enemy. So, we’ll just have to see

[soft kayak]

To play with friends on last gen or the smaller versions of the maps

[shy rapids]

What if PC can't run 128? Also because well yeah... so more players can play on console?

[lunar venture]

people would probably complain that it would too similar to R6

[shy rapids]

Yes, which would be good then?

[arctic grove]

if a PC cant run 128 players then you cant run the game

[soft kayak]

2 I can use whenever would be good

[shy rapids]

RS6 has team based factions

[shy rapids]

What if it can run 64p though?

[flint jay]

You want different specialists for each faction of each team?

[arctic grove]

then buy a PS4

[lunar venture]

upgrade your PC if it cant do 128

[wide shore]

Idk man. I have a feeling once I go 128p I won’t ever wanna go back.

[shy rapids]

What if I don't want a PS4?

[arctic grove]

Then either upgrade or dont buy the game

[shy rapids]

Hhhmmm...

[arctic grove]

like how it works for literally every other game

[shy rapids]

Or... we make them add 64p mode

[lunar venture]

i got 3070 Ti literally for the sake of playing BF2042 the way it should be played

[arctic grove]

idk maybe there will be some custom servers running 64p

[shy rapids]

Kind of crazy hows theirs no solo mode

[arctic grove]

what res monitor u got doe?

[soft kayak]

Yeah Id like Conquest small for those who either want to play with friends on last gen or dont have hardware that can handle 128. I dont think thats an unfair request at all

[shy rapids]

If something did really happen, like WW3 for example and you didn't have anymore wifi... money down the drain

[arctic grove]

[shy rapids]

Yes of course, but now how would I get to play BF 2042 by myself?

[soft kayak]

joker pfp quoting rick and morty
holy fuck

[shy rapids]

Then how do you play games?...

[lunar venture]

what?

[lunar venture]

ethernet

[arctic grove]

schizophrenic ramblings

[shy rapids]

Like connecting it from your wifi router into your PC?

[arctic grove]

have you never heard of ethernet

🦯

[lunar venture]

connecting directly into my modem

[shy rapids]

I'm pretty sure I use it myself...

[soft kayak]

• my man doesnt know what a wired connection is

[shy rapids]

It's literally wifi then

[noble fern]

Good luck. 😂

[shy rapids]

Bro

[lunar venture]

wrong

[shy rapids]

[lunar venture]

modems do not supply wifi

[noble fern]

I sincerely hope you mean an all-in-one.

[soft kayak]

oh man. what a take

[lunar venture]

gateways and routers do

[arctic grove]

Hello Again Patrick Basedman

[shy rapids]

Is a router not another name for modem?...

[lunar venture]

no

[noble fern]

No.

[shy rapids]

Insanity

[arctic grove]

Do you know the definition of insanity?

[lunar venture]

the modem brings the internet in, the router disperses the internet through wifi

[shy rapids]

Well I do use an ethernet cable to my router

[noble fern]

A modem operates at layer 1 / 2. A router operates at layer 3 and above.

Most devices are all-in-ones, but at the most basic level, that's the gist of it.

[shy rapids]

So you can only connect a wire to the modem?

[arctic grove]

AOL dial up connection is what I use, yall on some stupid shit fr

[lunar venture]

that's what most people do, but i've got two plugins in my modem, so ive got one for my router for my tv, phone, etc

[shy rapids]

So layer 1/2 is the best?

[soft kayak]

if he doesnt know what ethernet is then he certainly doesnt know what IOT layers are

[shy rapids]

And just use data when your phones unplugged?

[lunar venture]

you still got the three stage connection before you're online?

[lunar venture]

what? no.

[shy rapids]

So router wifi?

[noble fern]

No. All internet technology operates on a variety of "layers" defined in the OSI model. Everything we're doing on Discord right now operates all the way from layer 1 (physical media) up to layer 7 (application).

[arctic grove]

yeah but my mom fucking picked up the phone while I was online and my RDR2 100 gb download had cancelled, it was downloading for 3 years ;(

I had already got like 30 gb of it

[noble fern]

hey pal

[shy rapids]

So the application itself, is a layer 7? What's layer 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6?

[lunar venture]

bro you just made this waaaaaaay more complicated.

[arctic grove]

Hell, Purgatory, and finally, Heaven

[noble fern]

Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport.. uhhh, Presentation, Session, Application.

Could have the wrong order on the last three.

[shy rapids]

That just sounds like 2,3, and 4

[soft kayak]

@shy rapids before people start lecturing networking at you, all you really need to know here is that directly plugging your pc into a modem (or usually an outlet that leads to a modem) makes your connection a hell of a lot faster than using wifi

[soft kayak]

session before presentation

[shy rapids]

Never heard of such things... I need to learn more about this, this is quite interesting though

[noble fern]

That's absolutely not true if you have equipment capable of handling your circuit's bandwidth at line rate.

[arctic grove]

you will never need to know that ever, cable goes into box, box make internet faster, you happy!

[lunar venture]

if you're playing anything on a wifi connection, especially a PC, stop and go buy an ethernet cable

[shy rapids]

But is it the same speed as plugging in your router into your PS or so?

[noble fern]

There's probably microseconds of delay introduced by the actual serialization of the router, but it's not true in the human-perceivable sense.

[shy rapids]

Why not? That's some cool tech stuff

[arctic grove]

nerd

[noble fern]

If you're getting poorer bandwidth plugged into your modem, you need better routing equipment.

[lunar venture]

a physical, wired connection into your console or PC will ALWAYS be better than a cordless, wifi connection

[soft kayak]

you mean if I dont have that equipment right?

[noble fern]

Not necessarily true either, but true in practice most of the time. 😛

[arctic grove]

what is the scientific equation to acquiring basedness

[soft kayak]

cause this is a deep rabbit hole that would derail the server to explain fully

[noble fern]

the TL;DR is that if you are having significantly better performance with a direct link to your modem / ONT, there's something wrong with your router / edge device.

And you should probably talk to your ISP about either upgrading it, or their policy on customer-provided equipment.

[soft kayak]

talk to my ISP
So wired connection it is

[shy rapids]

I never really thought about that... I mean microdelays at least

[arctic grove]

I FUCKING HATE ISP'S INTERNET SHOULD BE FREE

:)

[noble fern]

lol

[lunar venture]

at the end of the day, just use an ethernet cable. that should be your one takeaway from this convo

[shy rapids]

Yeah I see, it would be cool if I could actually understand how satellites send signals and etc. Whuch I could just watch a video on, but it's cool to hear people explaining it

[noble fern]

ISPs are usually horrible, but a global internet takes a shitload of money, talent and effort to maintain. 🙂

[arctic grove]

Okay maybe I actually like ISP's because at least they are just selling my data to china and probably not the US but maybe

[shy rapids]

Yet they are the richest people on the planet

[lunar venture]

biggest jackasses too

[arctic grove]

who? IT people?

no

[dusky halo]

me

[shy rapids]

True lol, but have you seen the normal people

[noble fern]

Just FYI, last time I checked, less than 1% of global data traffic is carried by satellite.

[lunar venture]

i thought he was talking about ISPs. my bad

[soft kayak]

does this man think Bezos and Musk work are IT workers?

[shy rapids]

No, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Melon Sus

[soft kayak]

omg he does

[noble fern]

Most intercontinental traffic is carried by underwater fiber optic cabling.

Which is actually more amazing than satellite imo, lol.

[arctic grove]

Well Steve Jobs is dead, but besides that, they really aren't anything but figureheads

the company is managed without them

[lunar venture]

can we go back to battlefield talk>

[arctic grove]

I HATE BATTLEFIELD

💢

[soft kayak]

this is the most interesting off topic tangent the server has had in a while

[lunar venture]

https://tenor.com/view/connor-mc-gregor-gtfo-gtfoh-get-the-fuck-out-of-here-gif-10203692

damn it. does this channel not post the actual gif?

[soft kayak]

laugh at this man

[arctic grove]

it doesnt embed unless you have severe lack of touching grass syndrome

so clearly you go outside

[lunar venture]

im a lawncare pro ironically

[arctic grove]

mow lawns for the meme

do it for the vine jeffery

worldstar

worldstar

[noble fern]

So what does everyone think about free pick gadgets?

World War III Intensifies

[soft kayak]

Im interested.

Its certainly going to change how everything is balanced

[noble fern]

For sure.

[arctic grove]

seems like the game will be so unbalanced that it will in a way, be balanced

if that makes sense

[soft kayak]

so "if every set up is broken, none of them are"?

[arctic grove]

basically

[soft kayak]

Its funny, Ive seen these claims: "every sniper will have ammo", "every sniper will have a med crate", "every sniper will have an rpg", "every sniper will have 5 claymores".
No two of these can be true

[noble fern]

True!

[arctic grove]

well people didnt really know for sure until today

[soft kayak]

also, 5 claymores?

[arctic grove]

well yeah its a bit exaggerated but it was probably done to get their point across

[soft kayak]

I dont think that was in the brief. It was in the gameplay trailer and not focused on

I mean it makes sense when theyre up against rpgs and crates

[arctic grove]

HOW DO CUSTOMIZED LOADOUTS WORK?
Class no longer restricts which weapons you can bring onto the Battlefield thanks to a fully customizable Loadout. As a Specialist, you’ll be able to customize the following:

Primary Weapon
Equipment (items anyone can use such as a Medical Crate or Supply Crate)
Secondary Weapon
Throwable (such as Frag or Incendiary Grenade)

[soft kayak]

I know. I mean the fact that you can hold 5 claymores was in the gameplay trailer

[arctic grove]

oh lol

the UI for battlefield hardline is so nice, damn

but yeah snipers can actually have RPG's

[soft kayak]

yeah, they all can, but probably wont

[formal oyster]

when we expecting open beta?

[arctic grove]

and I mean, if theres a full squad with 1 guy with health, 1 guy with ammo, one guy with a rocket, and other with another ammo

oh boy

[soft kayak]

hell technically you could do this in bf4 if you gave your engineer a dmr

[arctic grove]

that would be annoying

[hardy kestrel]

AA weapon might be more useful for sniper than AT

[lyric sierra]

will bf2042 be crossplay or no info yet?

[soft kayak]

also, snipers may be less powerful in 2042

[nova idol]

Yes

[lyric sierra]

oh

can you turn it off?

[hardy kestrel]

info is out

[arctic grove]

that would suck

[nova idol]

Yes

[arctic grove]

I am so excited for this game

especially with the bigger maps

[lyric sierra]

oh ok good thanks

[nova idol]

You can opt out of crossplay

[arctic grove]

Cannot wait

[nova idol]

Last gen consoles will only be able to play with each other just fyi

So xbox one and ps4 will be able to play with each other

[arctic grove]

Shotguns and snipers need to be tweaked accordingly for 2042 considering they are both heavily ranged focused

[nova idol]

Current gen (xsx and ps5) can play with each other and can opt out/in to playing with PC

[soft kayak]

Its a really safe bet that assault rifles wont be as strong in 2042 since they have to compete with the rest of the weapons now

will carbines even be a weapon type?

[lyric sierra]

ah okay

[arctic grove]

I doubt it wouldnt

[nova idol]

PC will also be able to opt out of console crossplay

[noble fern]

Probably rolled in with assault rifles, I would bet.

[soft kayak]

I mean, they were always just worse ARs for other classes, and now ARs are for every class

[west osprey]

Just thought of something smart

[lyric sierra]

imo crossplay is nice but theres a skill difference between pc and console plus the hackers from pc

[hardy kestrel]

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-Announcements/Battlefield-Briefing-Answering-Your-Reveal-Questions/td-p/10497692

[arctic grove]

agreed

[random pumice]

You can supposedly change the length of your barrel and considering how carbines are just stubbier assault rifles…

[west osprey]

Could u just get ea play pro, get all the benefits of skins and year 1 pass but after subscription finishes, buy the base game?

[soft kayak]

we havent seen that. We've only seen attachments

[west osprey]

is this possible

[lyric sierra]

sorry another question so they removed specialisations and added attachments like in cod?

[noble fern]

Weapon specializations?

[arctic grove]

yes

[noble fern]

Yeah

[lyric sierra]

dang

[west osprey]

bruh ima just do this than, cheaper this way lol

[soft kayak]

yes. Though Bf had attachments in most games before bf1

[nova idol]

^

[lyric sierra]

for vehicles too

[noble fern]

Unknown.

[hardy kestrel]

Any thoughts on this: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Suggestion-to-help-players-see-where-team-equipment-deficits-are/m-p/10512393#M8294

[nova idol]

Well technically bf1 also had attatchments because of they bayonet

[soft kayak]

Personally I liked skill trees better than attachments. It made for more interesting choices

[noble fern]

They've said that vehicles are "customizable." It's not clear on whether they mean cosmetics, specializations, or what.

[nova idol]

I just hope optic choiced are standardized on all weapons except maybe like pistols and snipers

[west osprey]

game is so much cheaper with ea play pro and than buying the game lol

[lyric sierra]

yeah especially for tanks and planes

[west osprey]

im literally saving 20-30 bucks

[nova idol]

I hated in bfv that I couldnt use a sight I liked on every gun

[lyric sierra]

the specialisations allowed different playstyles

you could go for anti tank or anti infantry and such

[noble fern]

Wait a second.

[west osprey]

WHY IS EA PLAY PRO NOT ON STEAM UHH

[noble fern]

Are you talking about class specializations, or weapons specializations?

[soft kayak]

I hope theyre not. Having the same attachments on every gun adds variety to the weapons

[lyric sierra]

weapon and vehicles

[soft kayak]

He means bfv skill trees

[noble fern]

ah

[nova idol]

I mean only optics

I understand other attatchments being different

[noble fern]

Yeah, you'll get the same feeling of specialization from attachments, but now you can change them in the field to suit your situation.

[lyric sierra]

oh alright

[soft kayak]

Even then, having the same zoom options for all of them is boring IMO. With the exception of scopes that are just cosmetic differences

[lyric sierra]

just hope they dont follow that stupid meta gun thing that mw does

[nova idol]

You say boring I say consistent

🤷‍♂️

[soft kayak]

Oh this happened in BF3 and 4 which is why they stopped in the first place

[nova idol]

I hate mws gunsmith

[arctic grove]

DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN

[next gulch]

Imagine choosing to run a torch instead of literally anything else

[arctic grove]

DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN

[soft kayak]

you say theyre consistent I say they all feel the same

[arctic grove]

I wonder if you can enable crossplay between consoles and just turn off pc crossplay

[split parcel]

!when

[arctic grove]

specialists and battlepass. exciting

[west osprey]

anyone have the dilemma now choosing between steam or origin and where i should buy bf 2042 lmao

[lyric sierra]

wait theres a battlepass

[next gulch]

I AM SO HYPED FOR DA BATTLEPASS GUIZ

[arctic grove]

origin

why layer steam, another drm, on top of origin lol

[soft kayak]

if you buy it on steam you have to download via origin anyway

[arctic grove]

I know there generational crossplay but it’d be nice to just have xplay between ps5 and series x|s

[west osprey]

ye but i just like my games on steam

[arctic grove]

well thats illogical

[west osprey]

it is lol

[next gulch]

You can turn off PC crossplay on consoles

[west osprey]

thats the whole point

[split parcel]

Steam version will boot up Origin which will boot up the game. So might as well just get it on Origin in order to not need two launchers running simultaneously.

[arctic grove]

gabe loves ur wallet and loyalty

[next gulch]

If its on by default LUL

[west osprey]

ye tru may as well get from origin

[soft kayak]

any news about the BP?

[lyric sierra]

so each battlepass will only include cosmetics right

[arctic grove]

gabe couldnt even give us halflife 3. underground trillionare too

shame

[next gulch]

and specialists, but they will also be apart of the free battlepass

battlepasses are so cringe

[soft kayak]

gabe didnt even work on HL2 and he gets the credit

[lunar venture]

why?

[arctic grove]

so the hot pink cat eared socialists skins are prolly gunna be pay to play

[next gulch]

Just add cosmetics to unlock in a normal not money grubbing way

[lyric sierra]

yeah

[lunar venture]

cheapass

[arctic grove]

time gated too

"if you dont play enough you cant get the items you paid for" is cringe

[arctic grove]

better have time to play it

[next gulch]

lol cheapass yeah $60 buys you jack shit these day

[sullen badge]

Here's an idea: Wait for the game to come out before criticism

[arctic grove]

wouldnt make a difference

we are judging the system

[soft kayak]

Ive seen enough BPs. We all know where this is going

[arctic grove]

the confirmed system

[nova idol]

Its not like you dont know what you sign up for when you buy it

[lyric sierra]

the battlepass is a grind but using normal progression you can get anything whenever

[nova idol]

Besides youre stupid if you immediately buy the pass without leveling

[soft kayak]

I dont buy it cause the deal is cringe

[arctic grove]

the battlepass demands the gamer play a LOT to max it out

in general

no bueno

[lyric sierra]

like season 1 bp you can get this thing but just because you dont play during s1 you cant get it anymore

[soft kayak]

youre paying to make the game a chore

[sullen badge]

Everyone knows you 100% the bp before buying

[nova idol]

It makes infinitely more sense to level a pass THEN buy it so you get all the rewards

[west osprey]

i mean i just checked origin and steam prices are the same unless u go to keys site and get from origin

[nova idol]

And if you dont unlock it all then you lost out on 0% of what you paid for

Because you didnt pay

[sullen badge]

Unless you level 50%

[soft kayak]

even then it is still cringe cause now Im paying for items I already earned

[sullen badge]

Then you just miss 50%

[arctic grove]

does the battlepass premium price change if you level the pass to a certain point? your whole argument doesn't make sense

[sullen badge]

Get the fuck out

[arctic grove]

beat him up

[soft kayak]

more importantly, it is the incentives the BP create that make the game worse if you engage with it at all.

[arctic grove]

oh good. boosts.

[next gulch]

SimCity had Antarctica servers, that were TOTALLY in Antarctica

[arctic grove]

how much for a boost

[sullen badge]

I'll incentivise you in a minute

[arctic grove]

in the end i hope I have to spend thousands on battlefield

[lyric sierra]

atleast 300 coins for one hour double weapon exp boost

[soft kayak]

"pay so you dont run out of time to earn the things you paid for"
fuck off with that

[next gulch]

We need carrots on sticks in every FPS game

[arctic grove]

good luck getting a computer or console at a reasonable price to play 2042

supply chain is fucked

consoles are pretty easy to get now tbh in the US at least

you just need to know when and where the drop

they have a pattern usually

yeah ok scalper

stfu

??????

man i play on pc

how do you think i got this gpu

[next gulch]

They're easy to get if you have unlimited time to waste getting one

[arctic grove]

[next gulch]

[arctic grove]

DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN

sorry im medicated

severly

leaving for a bit

[next gulch]

When I can get double what I paid for my used GTX 1060 a few years ago, LUL

[arctic grove]

lol i sold my RX 570 last year for 100 dollars

i bought this RX 6700XT for MSRP thoug

479 usd

[next gulch]

I miss GPU deals on amazon warehouse

would routinely get $100 off because someone opened it, used it for a day and returned it

[arctic grove]

lol i bought my RX 570 for 83 dollars in 2019

sold it last year for 100 to get a RX 5700 for 290

sold that to get this RX 6700XT for 479

funniest thing is, i didnt even WANT to sell that 5700

[next gulch]

remember when RX 5500XTs were so undiserable no one bought one, now people would kill to have one

[arctic grove]

this miner that i often played games with hit me up, and offered me $870 for my 5700

i didnt even want to sell it but thats too good of a deal to let go

[next gulch]

yeah I would've

[arctic grove]

and i bought a 6700XT, got a new power supply, got a new CPU and had money to spare

i sold my old cpu which was a ryzen 5 2600, and my PSU which was some evga bronze shit

[next gulch]

I could get $750-$800 for my 2060 Super STRIX, debating on selling it or not

[arctic grove]

id say with all the costs now, i about broke even

maybe spent 50-100 more

but i mean for a CPU + PSU + GPU + MNK upgrade

[proven chasm]

Battlefield 2042 is literally wearing socks and a white dress shirt

[arctic grove]

yeah no all around i lost around 150 dollars, but for upgrading 3 major pc components, and getting a new mouse and keyboard, thats a W

one day we will afford gaming again

until then, the hobby lookin like an upper class privilege

[arctic grove]

i would do it

[arctic grove]

[proven chasm]

I can’t wait for the menu interface. Like to see the font of matchmaking

[arctic grove]

i really like the hardline UI

i think its my favorite

we dont talk about hardline

it had red hair

hardline is cool

[next gulch]

yeah I might sell

[arctic grove]

id do it

[shy rapids]

Gosh dang

Can't STAND the recoil in BF4

[arctic grove]
