@kindred obsidian We all can't wait to blow shit up ๐Ÿ™‚

bleak nebula
#

ps4 pro and one x is still weak at this point though, especially cpu sadly

tame token
#

Yeah it would be cheaper to upgrade your laptop than get an external GPU for it.

#

I mean buy a new laptop.

kindred obsidian
#

Hey wait i just want to make this clear ๐Ÿ˜„

#

are we going to be proxy warriors for the bigger countries left in the world?

#

I do hope they kinda include national flags as patches, even for the nations that might not exist in that time line

pearl prairie
#

UK that all i want

next onyx
#

Just hope for the Aussie Operator

#

In the trailer you hear a pom somewhere but i only know this because someone relayed it to me

kindred obsidian
#

Hey i hope for all sorts of operators , Balkan based, middle eastern based, asia based, africa based ๐Ÿ˜„

sullen badge
next onyx
#

Yep

sullen badge
#

oh yea i remember we had a convo about that

#

lol

kindred obsidian
#

like some warlord that has lost his holdings due to the climate change and shit

next onyx
#

Haha

frank stratus
#

helo.

arctic grove
kindred obsidian
#

I mean it will kinda make the feeling of being a no-pat something special

sullen badge
kindred obsidian
#

like everyone will have their own agenda and reasons to join a certain side

sullen badge
#

The gravity gets a bit weird sometimes

arctic grove
#

for example if your german you can play as a german specialist

kindred obsidian
#

exactly, and even if you are no specialist (i'm not exactly sure if being a specialist is something mandatory) like gear patches can help us identify

#

is there any news about VOIP in-game?

arctic grove
#

i dont think so

kindred obsidian
#

I presume they will also include a new version of what's battlefield 5 outfits

#

Or at least i hope they do

sullen badge
#

Why would there not be voip ingame

#

even bf4 had voip

kindred obsidian
#

No i mean it had, but its not the best

#

I had plenty of issues with it, its the reason we used discord over the in-game voip

arctic grove
#

it didnt work for me nobody is working together in pub in bf5

kindred obsidian
#

you should check if you have enabled it i think if you have like a sound icon next to your name your voip is enabled

arctic grove
kindred obsidian
#

i mean i haven't really used it a lot too, since we use discord mainly but i remember some times the voice was so low

#

it had lags and stuff, again i tried it at the start of each game for like few rounds and instantly moved to discord

arctic grove
#

@kindred obsidianWanna play bf5 i wont be using mic but i will follow your orders.

kindred obsidian
#

I PMed you

arctic grove
#

the reason i dont use a mic is i have a VERY high voice

sullen badge
#

Haven't hit puberty yet?

arctic grove

kindred obsidian

SICK

tribal wyvern
#

good afternoon boys

#

and girls

arctic grove
#

64 was to little for the bf5 maps

swift pendant
kindred obsidian
#

i loved how they made BF1 maps feel enough big for the player count

sullen badge
#

Lemon did you change your pfp

#

looking fresh

kindred obsidian
#

but i hope they don't over-do themselves on bf2042 maps ๐Ÿ˜„

tribal wyvern
#

lol

kindred obsidian
#

i do kinda love to be in the action as much as possible ๐Ÿ˜„

tribal wyvern
#

so don't worry

I always like lemon in my tea

arctic grove

tribal wyvern
#

you guys hear of the battlefield 1943 mod for bf2?

tribal wyvern
#

bruh how

#

someone recreated battlefield 1943 as perfectly as they could in bf2

#

cuz of the engine not being frostbite it ofc doesn't look the same

#

but guns, vehicles, maps and all of that is the same

arctic grove
#

i recently won a fps tournament.

tribal wyvern
sullen badge
#

friends

arctic grove
#

I donated most of it to children in need becuse i figured that was too much money for my age

un saludo

arctic grove
#

I just got the outstanding marksmanship medal in bf5

#

Good morning

arctic grove
#

Can't stop annoy myself over the bf2 graphics in 2042,like the sand ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

"Like the sand"

raven raft
#

obvious troll

arctic grove
#

Graphics overall looks like shit tbh

raven raft
#

try harder, low effort troll

arctic grove
#

lol

kindred obsidian
arctic grove
#

They look good

#

I mean

#

not as good as RDR2

#

but thats expected

#

they are fine

#

Idc about the graphics do you kill someone in an fps and say ''i wish the shadow would have been more realistic.

arctic grove
arctic grove
arctic grove
#

in most cases it has sharper textures

#

lol

#

Plus I mean judging a games graphics on pre alpha footage is a little weird

#

most pre alpha games dont even have textures yet

#

lol

#

It was the same deal with bf4,bf1, bfv

#

All of those games looked good though

#

well

#

maybe not V

#

but still

mortal raft
#

Early versions shown of BF4 looked considerably worse than the release version

arctic grove
#

Battlefield 2042 looks great .

#

V had way too much contrast and pretty bad anti aliasing, also a weird grainy film over everything

rain narwhal
arctic grove
#

Kids hyped about the game, that's why u won't see it..

mortal raft
#

But yeah, the BF2042 graphics are incredible. Only problem I noticed were the glove textures being kinda low res

rain narwhal
arctic grove
#

but serviceable

#

I mean they look fine

#

slightly better than MW

grave fiber
#

@rain narwhal i didnt know you could do that

arctic grove
#

Graphics arent the only thing that matters visually anyway

#

the small details 2042 has will probably beat cod by miles

#

they always have with stuff like that

#

Look at BFV

#

agreed

#

it has so many more small details than MW

arctic grove
rain narwhal
soft kayak
#

Yeah, even if bf history games have been... questionable... they usually get all the small details right.

arctic grove
#

Cod always beaten bf in the small details

drifting nacelle
#

I mean the newest modern warfare has all other call of duty games beat in terms of attention to detail

arctic grove
#

are you on crack

#

Every cod before MW had 0 attention to detail

drifting nacelle
#

Pretty much

arctic grove
#

They literally didnt care

soft kayak
arctic grove
#

There is a difference between detail

#

and historical accuracy

soft kayak
arctic grove
#

I mean things like getting dirt on your gun

#

and blood on hands

#

stuff like that

rain narwhal
#

battlefield > cod in terms of attention to detail

#

thats a fact

soft kayak
#

well, except for bfv's uniforms.
they were pretty bad in terms of detail

nova kelp
arctic grove
#

they looked bad

#

But in terms of gameplay BFV still had tons of small details

#

Funny thing is that I would rather pre-order a cod game than bf, because they haven't surprised me since bad company

#

the only thing MW really has going for it is reload animations

soft kayak
arctic grove
#

yeah exactly

#

I don't pre order games.

#

the pacific dlc felt more like vietnam than ww2

#

ngl

soft kayak
#

Ironically the pacific had some of the better uniforms.

#

with the exception of some actual vietnam helmets

arctic grove
#

legit had Vietnam helmets with peace signs and ciggies

#

and vietnam style dog tags

#

lol

#

kinda makes me wish BFV would have been in Vietnam

#

oh well

delicate hollow
#

Will we get airplane peanuts in our ospreys

soft kayak
#

Yeah. There is that and a lot of uniforms inspired by backline troops. The stuff like undershirts and caps and whatnot were common among people in artillery, supply, or other backline stuff like that

#

hell werent there some sailor uniforms?

arctic grove
#

idfk

#

either way I'm just craving a good vietnam shooter rn

#

sadly cold war wasnt it

unborn cave
#

anyone know anything about a hardcore mode?

soft kayak
arctic grove
#

I just have 1 simple gun request
The deagle would be nice ngl

sullen badge
#

You guys are worrying about graphics going off of pre alpha footage

arctic grove
#

I study history so im into games like hell let loose.

#

Wait what

unborn cave
#

i know the graphics are gonna be good, they did good with bf4 and bf1 for sure

arctic grove
#

The graphics look good tho...

pearl island
mortal raft
unborn cave
#

i wonder if theyll include fidelityfx super resolution too

arctic grove
delicate hollow
#

I'm a troll

unborn cave
#

since theyre doing dlss

arctic grove
#

it will die eventually

soft kayak
delicate hollow
#

I live under a bridge

arctic grove
#

probably sooner than later

sullen badge
arctic grove
#

I hope they use real gun sounds

delicate hollow
#

Look

arctic grove
#

Like mw2019

arctic grove
delicate hollow
#

I can be multiple things

sullen badge
#

Only if you admit you have branches

soft kayak
#

Get the guys who did Post Scriptum's sounds. That game puts AAA sound design to shame

delicate hollow
#

Trolls can have branches

unborn cave
sullen badge
#

When was the last time you heard of a troll having branches

arctic grove
#

Yeah ik

delicate hollow
#

Like Friday

sullen badge
#

Ok that's fairly recent then

unborn cave
#

i just hope they have super resolution so i can actually play at 1440p

arctic grove
#

But using the real authentic thing will make them sound more realistic

unborn cave
#

like the AMD version of it too since its just a simple open source thing

soft kayak
sullen badge
#

@unborn cave every game released since 2020 has typically supported 1440 and above

arctic grove
#

Fr?

arctic grove
#

Cmon they have to have some real guns in there

arctic grove
unborn cave
soft kayak
# arctic grove Fr?

yeah. All fictional variants of weapons. Instead of the Ak12 its the Ak24 for example

unborn cave
#

like dlss performance but the AMD version of it\

arctic grove
#

Oh

sullen badge
soft kayak
#

There is no real smg that can switch between 9mm and 45acp

unborn cave
arctic grove
#

As long as the sounds are good

#

I'm happy

#

Maybe they weren't allowed to use the real weapon variants lmao

unborn cave
#

thats what i mean by super resolution is that itll still look better than 1080p but have better performance

sullen badge
soft kayak
arctic grove
#

Yeah

unborn cave
bleak nebula
#

yeah

#

that's what I got 3700x and 2070 super

sullen badge
#

Well I have a 2070 super and run games at 144/1440
I7 9700k

#

You should be fine

unborn cave
#

obviously it wont be 1440 ultra but id like to have 1440 high in the new one

grave fiber
#

@sullen badge same here

unborn cave
#

just worried about the performance of the game

arctic grove
sullen badge
#

@unborn cave high/ultra

unborn cave
#

but since its coming to consoles too i imagine itll be optimized enough to run great

sullen badge
#

The game was built before 30 series cards were a thing so

arctic grove
#

I wonder if they'll support this game longer than bfv

mortal raft
arctic grove
#

Hopefully

arctic grove
#

if not then no

#

I want to see them add more specialists

#

Personally I havenโ€™t gotten my hands on a new gpu so I just use scaling to turn it down a bit and then use filters to sharpen it up again, still looks fine

unborn cave
#

yeah the fidelityfx super resolution. I think itll be added since itll be used for xbox too

arctic grove
#

They are partnered with Nvidia

#

I gotta get an Xbox for this game ngl

unborn cave
#

well that ruins it for consoles too then

mortal raft
#

Could still use it, but probably won't sadly

arctic grove
#

Series x I mean
My ps4 pro won't handle this

arctic grove
unborn cave
#

cause consoles can use super resolution but now they cant since its nvidia

dusty condor
#

dogs

unborn cave
#

thats why i dont like nvidia cause they just limit all their technology to the newest things

unborn cave
#

amd is literally open source and supported on a bunch of gpus and they dont even have to pay for it

arctic grove
mortal raft
#

Yeah, I don't like it, but obviously it leads me to buy Nvidia so I can use all technologies

#

Also the better RayTracing performance

arctic grove
#

yeah RTX only ran like shit at first because dev's weren't utilizing it properly

unborn cave
#

raytracing is only good in games where visuals are more important imo

arctic grove
#

RTX runs great now

#

Metro Exodus Enhanced edition runs at like 400 fps on the highest settings with max RTX

#

on a 2080ti

unborn cave
#

wait i think they might add fsr since they cant use dlss on xbox or ps4

sullen badge
#

Yea no they'll only support DLSS 2 and Nvidia Reflex

unborn cave
#

well new gen stuff

mortal raft
unborn cave
#

yeah agreed

mortal raft
#

I play more single-player games

sullen badge
#

Don't expect to ultra with RT though

unborn cave
#

i want to get new gen ryzen the end of this year

#

well radeon

sullen badge
#

RT technology is in its infancy gpu wise

#

It's a resource whore

unborn cave
#

thats why i want to wait till the rdna3 stuff since theyre doing multi chip modules

#

so the mid tier might have one chip of 80 cu and higher tiers could have 100+

unborn cave
#

the AMD version of dlss

simple linden
#

yes

#

well, 2042 might have it

#

frostbite is listed on AMDs website

unborn cave
#

is it?

#

let me check that actually

simple linden
#

even tho they are partnered with nvidia

edgy eagle
#

Doesn't mean they can't add fsr

sullen badge
#

Maybe a previous version of frostbite

edgy eagle
#

It's open source

#

And not necessarily tied to amd

unborn cave
#

it just doesnt make sense to not include technology thats free and can be used on consoles too

sullen badge
#

ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

Just got to wait and see friend

#

Don't stress

simple linden
#

when you scroll all the way down to see devs supporting, the notable ones are listed as EA frostbite, obsidian, valve, capcom, gearbox

unborn cave
#

it is indeed supported on frostbite

#

it would be stupid not to include it considering its " very easy to implement"

sullen badge
#

Is it the version of frostbite used for 2042 though

unborn cave
#

it just says frostbite but i would assume it is

#

considering its just a plug in

mortal raft
unborn cave
#

like if it can be used on older versions of the engine it probably can on the new ones

empty sundial
#

Just look on their website FSR will be available ALSO in BF2042

mortal raft
unborn cave
mortal raft
#

Obviously on a normal GPU that's very heavy

sullen badge
empty sundial
#

yes

unborn cave
#

no need to be so negative about it

mortal raft
#

Also still have a CPU bottleneck, but that doesn't matter much for Eternal

tired comet
#

Is crossplay at launch? The way they describes it as part of the technical playtest was vague af

#

Described it*

mortal raft
unborn cave
proven torrent
#

I play on 2060 Max-Q laptop.... the middle ground performance sometimes gives me FOMO

tired comet
#

Yeah they said it was being tested but are they saying open beta will be crossplay and launch game or na

sullen badge
#

Anyway

#

Moving on

#

@arctic grove did you change your pfp again

mortal raft
simple linden
#

unless its a different game, i dont see why 2042 wouldnt use FSR as well

sullen badge
sterile pelican
edgy eagle
#

980ti is solid

sullen badge
#

Good card, had some OC issues though

#

Seems like big effort

#

I like my mushroom

#

Yea, big effort

#

Way too much effort

spark acorn
#

And nice 980 Ti.

sullen badge
#

I feel sorry for anyone who plays anything on a laptop

spark acorn
#

Yeah those things die quickly.

#

Well battery ofc.

arctic grove
#

laptops kill themselves because of heat

#

especially if they have a good gpu

#

they always die within 3 years

sullen badge
#

If you have a laptop you don't have a good gpu

#

They put m series gpus in laptops

#

M for mobile

arctic grove
#

I'm talking about 2080ti laptops and shit

sullen badge
#

You can have a 2080ti as an m series card

rain narwhal
#

those things prolly die fast

sullen badge
#

The form factor is just slightly different

arctic grove
#

then why not put a 2080ti into a phone

sullen badge
#

Don't be ridiculous

arctic grove
sullen badge
#

That's like saying why don't we power a toothbrush with a jet engine

arctic grove
#

but it isnt

#

imagine playing games like rdr2 on mobile

#

lol

#

i'm having a hard time getting hyped for 2042

#

so much change to things that didn't need to be changed

torpid shuttle
#

I hope I can disable tornado in offline multiplayer or custom server.

sour meadow
#

the whole class rework

#

the specialists

#

everyone having rockets and snipers

alpine gate
#

i like it

#

im hyped for it

sour meadow
#

it gives me huge cod vibes

#

and i hate it

torpid shuttle
#

Yes. I mean solo with AI.

alpine gate
#

im sure they'll do a good job, im pretty sure they know how the franchise will end if they dont do a good job with this one

arctic grove
torpid shuttle
mortal raft
sour meadow
#

i thought you could choose to have a sniper and a rocket

mortal raft
#

Takes a lot more than 2 failed games to kill BF

alpine gate
torpid shuttle
#

But new class system (specialists) is not bad. I guess.

sour meadow
#

i don't like it

#

i prefer the class system

alpine gate
#

given they'll probably all come back as soon as a good bf comes out

sour meadow
#

makes you feel like a cog in a big machine

#

instead of this lonewolf shit

arctic grove
mortal raft
#

I'm pretty neutral on the specialist system

#

Want to see it in action before I judge

mortal raft
sour meadow
#

i just don't want it to be a cod clone

alpine gate
#

im not gonna say anything about any of the new features untill i actually play them and get a real opinion, but so far i like everything they're doing

arctic grove
sour meadow
#

i don't want specialist + loadout metas

mortal raft
sour meadow
#

i don't want jackfrag's upload feed to be nothing but "this new battlefield loadout is broken"

royal trail
sour meadow
#

because that's all his videos are now, except it's cod

torpid shuttle
#

New class system is belike you can be everything you want. But the specific role system is not strict like medic can use rocket, engineer can use sniper etc.

sour meadow
#

every week there's a video titled "this gun is broken"

lofty shore
#

jackfr OMEGALUL gs

sour meadow
#

i know battlefield players on pc

#

everyone is a sniper

#

everyone is after those crispy headshots

#

at least in bf1 and bfv

lofty shore
#

heli players in bf4 gigachad

sour meadow
#

everyone plays scout

royal trail
#

headshots with knife is more satisfying

fickle vector
#

it's cuz they're too cowardly to actually PTFO

arctic grove
fickle vector
#

they just wanna camp, kill farm and brag HIGH KDR!

sour meadow
#

i'm pretty sure he does bf videos now to direct traffic towards the next game

torpid shuttle
#

COD implement 64 player map like BF.
BF remove class system and give more loadout choice like COD.

Oh... what's going on right now...

lofty shore
#

kpm>kd

#

imagine flexing kd

arctic grove
violet wedge
#

bf2042 lets go

sour meadow
#

also i can't wait to see cheaters using 250 round lmg's, sniping people across the new huge maps

torpid shuttle
#

BE CAMPER LIKE COD.

arctic grove
sour meadow
#

a well known one

#

and there are always cheaters

arctic grove
sour meadow
#

do you not play on PC

arctic grove
torpid shuttle
#

BF has cheater in every series.

arctic grove
fickle vector
#

I think specialists are gonna promote more cowardly selfish players to camp

sour meadow
torpid shuttle
#

BF V is the worst one for me. CHEATER IS EVERYWHERE.

arctic grove
sour meadow
#

i ran into a cheater yesterday running blatant aimbot

#

it won't

#

there will always be cheaters

arctic grove
#

I dont

sour meadow
#

they will always find a way

sour meadow
fiery solar
#

if you run into cheaters you obviously arent cool

fickle vector
#

that's my biggest gripe boutz the whole BF series, the weak "anti-cheat"

torpid shuttle
#

Well many ppl so lucky that's live in Europe. Almost Asia server suffer from cheater alot.

sour meadow
#

i was playing bf1 a few months ago

#

god ABOVE

#

the cheating was a fucking epidemic

torpid shuttle
fickle vector
#

atleast private servers allowed owners to run 3rd party anti-cheats that actually work and if they didn't, they can ban em

sour meadow
#

it made blank look like a 7/11 robery

sour meadow
torpid shuttle
#

I hope I can get level process in solo mode. I am boring to play with cheater.

junior spindle
#

bruh dice just doubled down on 4 people per squad

fickle vector
#

well I've been playin since BF1942

junior spindle
#

absolutely fuck you

torpid shuttle
arctic grove
#

csgo has a horrible ban system

junior spindle
#

This change is their worst decision yet

torpid shuttle
#

Yes I know in BF 1 has 5 ppl.

arctic grove
#

because valve never takes action on the reports

#

and vac bans are easy to get around

mortal raft
torpid shuttle
#

What's the best anti-cheat right now?

junior spindle
#

aka bf4 mainly

soft kayak
#

It was 6 in bf2 right?

mortal raft
junior spindle
#

Me and 4 friends have been playing battlefield together for over a decade and this bullshit decision is about to ruin everything

arctic grove
#

squad limit should be increased because of the amount of players

#

should be 6

junior spindle
#

so absolutely fuck dice

fickle vector
#

6 in BF1942-BF2142

soft kayak
torpid shuttle
#

Hope they can change thier mind.

fickle vector
#

they should make it 6

junior spindle
#

imagine making the server 128 people

#

and reducing the squad size

#

fucking ridiculous

torpid shuttle
#

But how do you know there is 4 ppl in one squad?

soft kayak
arctic grove
#

okay but there's 128 players

#

so it balances out

junior spindle
#

we're legit about to not buy this game because of this, we're not leaving a man out

#

yeah but 2042 is the obvious spiritual successor

soft kayak
# arctic grove so it balances out

the maps are also larger so player density should be about the same most of the time. I dont think the player count will make squads easier or harder to wipe

junior spindle
#

It goes bf2->bf3->bf4->2042 for proper modern battlefields

torpid shuttle
#

"Can Squads use any combination of Specialists?
In Battlefield 2042, a Squad will consist of a maximum of 4 players. In Conquest and Breakthrough, squads can contain more than one unique Specialist. "

THINK DICE THINK.
There is 128 players in 1 map. Why do you still limit ppl in one squad?

soft kayak
#

Take: Squad size should be an option for private servers

junior spindle
#

but I doubt it

#

it was never an option why would it be now

so it should be made how you like it

but not otheres

junior spindle
#

yes

slim quiver
#

Itโ€™s just the specialists create more unique people to represent the classes they are in

junior spindle
#

because bf4 was 5 people

soft kayak
#

also, why should the squad be the same size as the amount of classes in game?

junior spindle
#

Expecting them to do something the previous game didnt do is unrealistic

#

battlefield 4 is the predecessor to 2042

#

expecting 5 men squad is reasonable

#

more than that is just pipe dream

lofty shore
#

why pipe dream?

junior spindle
#

It was 5 before, why not now?

soft kayak
#

The only reason I can think to do 4 is because it evenly fits into a 32 or 64 player team

lofty shore
#

were people expecting 5 man squad before bf4?

junior spindle

yes because it happened before

#

No BF game matters the most tbh

junior spindle
#

cuz EA decided to make world war 2 and world war 1 games

#

So for all these years people who enjoy modern battlefield games have been playing bf4

#

it had a lifetime MUCH longer than any other modern bf game

#

so yes, it matters more

slim quiver

I mean to be fair I donโ€™t see why people think BF started with BF3 and BF4. EA shouldnโ€™t cater to me just because Iโ€™ve played since BF1942

#

Squad size has to be adjusted after internal testing. Being in a squad is an advantage so to balance the game squads sizes need to have a limit. It doesn't matter what BF4 had or what any other BF game had. It matters what plays best in BF2042 and I don't think we can judge that by looking at a few trailers and a blog post.

It may make the flow of the game just better

DICE should just change and tweak some stuff if needed, ez pz

junior spindle
#

Dont get me wrong Im not saying DICE is not making the better decision for the flow of the game

slim quiver
#

Well hazard zone I definitely think has the 4 player squad zone with something in mind because Apparently hazard zone you canโ€™t repeat specialists

junior spindle
#

But by doing that they're throwing hardcore bf4 squads under the bus

#

5 man squads for normal conquest plez

#

No, DICE is still DICE.
DICE LA became Ripple Effect. They only make the secret mode.

junior spindle

And they should at least try to adjust the game so 5-men squads are viable

@junior spindle the all class weapons in bf4 made the restrictions feel mostly pointless. I cant think of an actual reason for smgs or lmgs to be class limited in that game, nor can I think of a reason to pick carbines for assault. Carbines and DMRs are effectively slightly worse ARs and Snipers anyway.
