[arctic grove]

BR takes time/resources

[onyx oar]

For every argument in this chat a BF player changes to Fortnite

[pine roost]

Anyway, my speculation is that hazard zone is like apex arenas, redacted mode is bf hub and I’ll leave it at that, I can’t wait for tomorrow 😄

[flint jay]

Aidropping, squads, heroes, huge map, huge player count

[tribal wyvern]

that is my worst nightmare please no

[gloomy ibex]

now EA have APEX, BF WILL HAVE H A Z A R D Z O N E

[tribal wyvern]

find it absolutely ridiculous for people thinking ab r'll happen in 2042 with hazard zone being a thing

br takes time

ideas

budget

[elder mango]

what if hazard zone is bf csgo

[arctic grove]

Br takes in a lot of mullah too

[tribal wyvern]

and with a mode made to replace br, there is just an extremely low chance of it even happening

[arctic grove]

Guys, my point was is that br is POSSIBLE, not that it is GUARANTEED to happen. Please, stop getting so upset about this

[onyx oar]

Did you see the teaser video from twitter? the sound in the video sounds like the smoke monster from BF1

[arctic grove]

Again DICE said that hazardzone IS their BR, but its not a traditional BR, DICE wants it to make it the battlefield way. STOP thinking there will be one after launch

[flint jay]

Ideas? they can just make a new mode, add weapon drops and a zone that advances and that's it

BR done

[rotund horizon]

Hazard Zone is BF Among Us

[tribal wyvern]

that would not get many players

since it's the same shit as warzone

[pine roost]

It’s got the attachments, gadgets, weapons and specialists to allow for a money based competitive experience, so I think it’s a real possibility

[tribal wyvern]

people aren't going to change game if there's no difference

[arctic grove]

How did we not see it before

[flint jay]

If it's free to play it might

[arctic grove]

Still mad there will be no China faction in 2042

but i get it

[tribal wyvern]

the fact everyone's ignoring you is just

[arctic grove]

Time to change subject, I remember that in one of the interviews they released not long ago, they mentioned in the skyscraper map you can enter some of the buildings but only the lobby and the roof right? I do not recall if they said if some of them will also have multiple floors to fight in? What do you all think?

[gloomy ibex]

the second one ? look at this (1:53) https://youtu.be/3WClZ1MP4Ck?t=113 and listen again 😉

[arctic grove]

Guys battlefield 1 is free if you have PRIME

Battlefield v will be on August 2

[flint jay]

They made it clear that buildings will not have multiple floors

[arctic grove]

Other buildings would have interiors I’m sure but it’s pointless to make a skyscraper have like 20 interiors trying to find someone to fight who’s actually 2 floors above you

[onyx oar]

ya yeet

damn you right

DICE tracer dart plz

i need

[arctic grove]

Good points! I wasn't expecting them to put "20 floors" but I like in BF Hardline, it would be cool to fight in some floors of the building

[rotund horizon]

No one gonna find that camper sitting in a toilet on 13th floor

[fierce umbra]

I heard BF1 will be available from Aug 1 and BFV set for Oct in prime?

[arctic grove]

I just redeemed it now

[fierce umbra]

cool

[arctic grove]

BATTLEHUB should feature guns/vehicles that will be coming in Battlefield games after 2042 as a easter egg

[onyx oar]

cough cough yeah I would never do that cough cough (places down claymore)

[flint jay]

BF1 key is out on prime?

[arctic grove]

PSA: BF1 is free for everyone who has PRIME RIGHT NOW

[pine roost]

I honestly don’t really think I’d enjoy bfhub much

[arctic grove]

Yes

Just go to your prime gaming account

wish the Battle hub maps are maps that i had never played

I still don’t really understand why they’d make this whole remaster mode in the first place tbh

[pine roost]

If it’s sole purpose is to appeal to core fans, they are benefitting off nostalgia, which I don’t have any of cause I’ve only p
She’d bf4 :/

[onyx oar]

I have played all the bf so guess I go fuck myself lol

[arctic grove]

Hope they remaster maps like operation underground

It just doesn’t seem like it’s worth it to spend ages remaking stuff when they can just put it in the base game. I’m expecting something else

from metro

[pine roost]

I hate this iPad, none of what I type makes sense

[arctic grove]

@tribal wyvern You know why I trust leaks, because they are valid, Tom Henderson also predicted bf1 going for free, and that bfv will be free on august 2. So I wouldn't be surprised if there is a br, even though it is unlikely. That's my point.

I hope they change the remaster maps a bit and not copy pasted like COD

[simple linden]

jesus not underground again

[onyx oar]

Just type and dont correct and we have to guess what you try to say 😛

[pine roost]

But I mean, maps are maps and guns are guns. I’m happy with more content as long as it doesn’t pull resources from other modes.

[onyx oar]

It's okay Jesus went back up after 3 days

[flint jay]

DIdn't they initially say that Hazard Zone is a BR like mode

[arctic grove]

"like" yes

If Battle hub has maps that i never played before and is a bit different then for me BF2042 has 9 maps

[arctic grove]

They will change it and turn it into a more modern setting, but keeping the similar flow and design. That is what I would suggest

[tribal wyvern]

it's a br spin off

[onyx oar]

yes and no

[tribal wyvern]

basically it's br

but not br at the same time

[arctic grove]

ye

[flint jay]

So it's understandable to think that it might be "like" BR. The "like" is something we know nothing about

[tribal wyvern]

it's the concept of br but battlefield style

it's still unclear as to what that means

but it's definetely NOT like other br's

[slim quiver]

I think that will defeat the purpose of capturing the remaster part

[stark spear]

cant find the duck emote 😦

[arctic grove]

yes and the BF formula works better with that than a trad BR

[slim quiver]

There will maybe be stuff added obviously but the structure will most likely be the same

[tribal wyvern]

yeah

it could be a one life conquest gamemode oto

we don't got any info on it

[arctic grove]

No circle

[arctic grove]

You can't say that until we play it though, so......

[tribal wyvern]

but yeah it's not a br

not a trad one at least

[arctic grove]

with aircraft

[arctic grove]

we'll but one thing for sure is that its not a BR

[bleak nebula]

kinda expect hazard zone to be one life mode with more focus on infantry tbh

[onyx oar]

it's a square this time

[arctic grove]

or two lines

[onyx oar]

THE FUTURE IS NOW

[arctic grove]

Sure but we can't say that this game mode will be better than a traditional br until we play it

[arctic grove]

I disagree. The Map is somewhat the same, however the setting of the map can be different. Just to give off a silly and exaggerated example: Metro: Adding more LED lights, colorful, perhaps more vegetation indoors, modern speed trains instead of old rail ones.

i mean with two lines there are two sides of the storm, one is north and one is south.

both are closing in to middle

No circle or square

[stark spear]

found it

[arctic grove]

Then that would be unique

[arctic grove]

Yes, it is still a remaster. Remaster doesn't mean it built from scratch.

There’s genuinely no point arguing one way or the other because there are no facts about the mode to go off besides them saying it’ll appeal to br players

[onyx oar]

would be awkward when the last two go both east and west

[flint jay]

They could very well say it's not BR but "like" BR and the mode just be BR with a few new concepts. But it's still BR. That's why until everyone plays it or they reveal it it could still be a BR

We know nothing about it

[arctic grove]

both have to escape

[arctic grove]

True

[onyx oar]

from tark- yes but what would be the reward?

[arctic grove]

Aye, but this was from a previous comment

Instead of plane from BR players are arriving from boat

[arctic grove]

like tarkov, you search for stuff and try to escape

[silent dagger]

Do yous think they will reveal the open beta tomorrow on the EA play stream?

[storm sentinel]

the meaning of the battlefield is about a very fierce and very deep battle on the battlefield ground breaking, also there could be a big explosion and climate change that we cannot predict when we will be affected in any situation.

[next onyx]

We dont know chie

[arctic grove]

Exactly, it could be radically different and named as similar to br to get on the radars of that playerbase, or it could be essentially br with a new gimmick attached. We have no clue so why do people bother arguing one opinion is right and the others wrong lol

[onyx oar]

I think if DICE did something like that it would be more in the vain of Hunt Showdown tbh

[silent dagger]

Ok

[arctic grove]

with vehicles and tanks

[onyx oar]

It's more friendly to the playerbase and not as stressfull as tarkov

[flint jay]

I mean welcome to #battlefield-2042 chat

[arctic grove]

spawn lobby is the aircraft carrier

[flint jay]

Most time people just argue opinions here anyways

[onyx oar]

Gotta have that ofcourse

[next onyx]

End the hell

[onyx oar]

10 bucks

[arctic grove]

otherwise it wouldnt be bf

Praying questions are answered tomorrow just so everyone can move on to a new argument lmao

[elder mango]

parka is giving out free wisdom

[onyx oar]

transport choppers would work as well but attack choppers might be a bit too much

[arctic grove]

Lol

If I had nitro still I’d do some cool emote

[arctic grove]

why tf not

Imagine being a dev from DICE; reading this chat, and they can't say shit because of NDA hahah.

with limited ammo

[onyx oar]

all depends on the balance. Remember if you cant choose your loadout it's basic luck with finding an anti air missile

[elder mango]

hello jackfrags if you're reading this ;)

[arctic grove]

zone is on north and south, escape is west or east. Zone is a sandstorm, emp storm, firestorm or tsunami

[tired gorge]

Hello just wondering because I'm kinda confused , Thursday 22 is the beta or just the closed test thing ?

[arctic grove]

that would be lovely ngl

you find satelites and escape on ship

etc

[onyx oar]

They did talk about emp storms. back to basics BF? no gadgets just you and your gun prehaps?

[arctic grove]

neither

what are EMP storms tho

anyone ?

[onyx oar]

I think that is very self explanatory

[arctic grove]

is that explosion from bad company 2?

Uhh a big ass storm that destroys electronics?

[onyx oar]

[arctic grove]

oh k

[tired gorge]

@arctic grove wtf hahaha I was sure about one of those was going g to happen , any idea when is the beta dropping ?

[velvet sorrel]

!when

[slim quiver]

Oh yeah that’s fair

[arctic grove]

Not yet, but we might hear some news about it soon.

[simple linden]

tomorrow is EA Play Live, they are gonna talk about 2042, and give us an info dump hopefully

[tired gorge]

Ok thank u guys I hope to see u in the battlefield 👍

[arctic grove]

EA fashion

I hopped into that ubi reveal… yesterday? since someone posted it in here and the chat was so mad when the stream started with a 30 minute countdown

[elder mango]

@arctic grove if you click on the link in the bots message it should take you to a website that shows the time

[arctic grove]

nah the countdown

[onyx oar]

3 hour countdown lol

[simple linden]

look at the youtube link

the stream starts in 23 hours

EA's making all the previous Battlefield games free so you're familiar with the classic maps... Ready for the Battle Hub. #battlefield-legacy-titles2042

leak

[arctic grove]

gotta have that 3 month nostalgia to ride off

[storm sentinel]

Oh boy

[simple linden]

what the fuck, mumbai is +5:30 hours??

[craggy marten]

Oh-

[simple linden]

ive never seen a 30 minute difference lol

[craggy marten]

So umm...

[next onyx]

Not sure if it's true or not yet.

[craggy marten]

What was the point of me spending money if this is to be believed

[storm sentinel]

its true

[next onyx]

We have no idea what battlefield hub technically is yet.

[craggy marten]

Evidence?

[storm sentinel]

Xbox gonna free Battlefield

[next onyx]

His source is Tom Henderson, an apparent leaker.

[craggy marten]

Yeah, Xbox

[lofty tiger]

Its 10:30pm in our time

[craggy marten]

But what about other consoles

[arctic grove]

operation underground wake island

[onyx oar]

This might be somewhat controversial to say but I really hope Greg isn't in the preshow. This guy screams too much and his jokes aren't funny.

[craggy marten]

Or PC

[next onyx]

I dont get care who's in as long as they get the message across

[simple linden]

yes, im just saying that ive never seen a 30 minute difference in time zones

[arctic grove]

Why do I feel I know who you’re talking about but I can’t think of who Greg is

hamada should be remastered

in battle hub

[simple linden]

i know

[arctic grove]

We having an argument about daylight savings now?

[arctic grove]

Hell yeah I’m all for this debate

Always screaming and trying to make jokes that never land. He has hosted EA several times and he hosted E3 2021 in the first segment. He gets on my nerfes

Battlefield V will be free on Amazon Prime on August 2nd.

[arctic grove]

oh no, anyways

[craggy marten]

What about PS?

What is PS getting?

Hardline?

[arctic grove]

You just get an origin key

It’s not like an amazon storefront thing

[onyx oar]

because money

[craggy marten]

Not really

BF5 doesnt make you pay for maps

So I dont know how EA will get money there

Outside of lazy people who dont want to level things up

[arctic grove]

Doing stuff with twitch means eyeballs are gonna see your promotion

That’s all they want

[slim quiver]

We need skins for tanks in 2042

And they need to be foliage included

Something like this id like

[mild crystal]

Bf2042

[arctic grove]

actually camoed tanks

[mild crystal]

Lets fkn goooo

[elder mango]

war thunder moment lol

[onyx oar]

I wish i could draw on paint and import the drawing to be used as a weapon skin

[simple linden]

people be bitching about visibility then

[slim quiver]

I mean it’s a tank

It’s massive

[mortal raft]

Customization I suppose

[slim quiver]

I had to reinforce the moment

[simple linden]

i know, but theres gonna be one idiot thats gonna be like YoU CaNt SeE A TaNK

[slim quiver]

Imagine if we had ARTY tanks too

How could someone not see this tho

[arctic grove]

Fortnite made only 5 billion in one year

So yeah, customisation sells

[elder mango]

"only"

[arctic grove]

Oops

[mild crystal]

Vehicle skins would be great

[mortal raft]

BFV doesn't have great customization though. They shot themselves in the foot with that

[slim quiver]

MTX system is the best system you can get. Because the actual content of the game becomes free. So we all get the same content update and everything else is optional based on what someone wants to pay. It’s actually the most fair system for everyone.

[tired cargo]

Artillery vehicles would be cool

[craggy marten]

Imagine if previous BF games get ported over to current gen

As a Battlehub marketing strat

[slim quiver]

As long as we get guns and maps for free, it shouldn’t be an issue

[elder mango]

if we had plane skins it would be like those planes in ww2 with women on the side except they'd be waifus

[arctic grove]

Considering bf had that big problem of splitting its playerbase for years it’s a big plus to make it all cosmetic mtx

[mild crystal]

They should make cool vehicle skins for money but make like a ghillie sort of thing for tanks unlockable through playing but larts of it like in that pic, for tue barrel, for tue hack, each side, etc

[slim quiver]

I just don’t want to pay 15 dollars for DLCs that split up the playerbase

[craggy marten]

I would kill for that because i'm not buying a PS3 for only 3 games or slightly more

[slim quiver]

And 15 dollars is being generous

Some dlcs are like 30 bucks

[arctic grove]

They’ve learnt their lesson with dlc maps… I hope

[slim quiver]

I think they have

A live service model is now the norm

[mild crystal]

I mean almost all dlc bf4 maps were good

[slim quiver]

Halo is doing it, cod does it. BF is adopting it most likely

[elder mango]

they said all gameplay additions would be free thank god

[slim quiver]

Exactly

[simple linden]

and hopefully cosmetics are more worthwhile than in bf5

[slim quiver]

This is the part that matters the most

[simple linden]

they were mostly trash in bf5

[arctic grove]

As long as they don’t pull a black ops 4, possibly the single worst system I’ve ever seen for live service

[slim quiver]

Gameplay additions means we all get a fair shake

[subtle iron]

sorry if someone answerd this but will bf5 be free on the 2nd of aguest

[tired cargo]

What time is the event tomorrow btw

[flint jay]

BF2042 should have been free. These dudes are gonna get paid not only for the game purchase but also a shit ton in customisation

[arctic grove]

Aka just dump every kind of monetisation in the game and call it a day

[mild crystal]

Bf5 suks, play bf4 my guy ir bf1

[simple linden]

depends of your time zone, but its 7pm CEST

[slim quiver]

Though they will probably have an in game earnable currency because if you miss like the unlocks for a season or something. You probably have to pay like in game currency for stuff you missed if it requires you to unlock it

[flint jay]

Or a part of it should be free, maybe if Hazard Zone is free that'll make it decent

[onyx oar]

https://tenor.com/view/big-lebowski-the-dude-your-opinion-gif-4476328

[tired cargo]

No way

They can’t make a whole game free

[flint jay]

Not whole game but a free to play mode

[arctic grove]

If it’s the same as warzone with the earnable points in a bp I’m cool with it

[flint jay]

It should be like Warzone, where you get a free mode and have a choice to buy the game for actual BF

[slim quiver]

Nah a F2P mode isn’t a good idea tbh. Because if we that paid want to play it, all free modes have hackers

Anything that is free and FPS, hackers flock to

[storm sentinel]

Hazard Zone gonna Free to Play

[arctic grove]

Isnt the f2p mode exactly what they’re doing

[flint jay]

I hope so

[slim quiver]

If hazard zone is F2P, I am concerned with how that turns out

[flint jay]

I mean F2P hasn't been confirmed has it

[slim quiver]

They should learn from warzone. Warzone has a huge hacker problem

[arctic grove]

I’m not sure but I just kinda assumed hazard zone was f2p

[slim quiver]

It’s practically impossible to fix because it’s just people that keep coming back

[onyx oar]

F2P is a chance to take for sure but if the mode is good and the cosmetics are good enough to fund it it should be alright. however if it fails it will be a money drain.

[flint jay]

BF is becoming as expensive as Destiny 2 with probably 3x less content

[arctic grove]

The warzone stuff, they made a tweet recently about how they’ve banned another 50k accounts, but said “a focus on repeat offenders”. To me that just says “we ban people but they just make another account and we can’t keep up”

[flint jay]

Destiny 2 is known for siphoning money like crazy but at least they give somewhat ok DLCs now

[arctic grove]

i think Battlefield 7 is 2143

[slim quiver]

Ban someone from a F2P game and they come back. Ban someone from a 60 dollar game and they’re actually regretting it if they come back

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 8 will be BF6

Like atvi pretty much straight up said banning people is pointless because they’re making new accounts

Battlefield VI etnam

[tired cargo]

Why are you already on battlefield 8

[arctic grove]

i miss vietnam

and 2142

[flint jay]

I 100% bet you guys that specialists will be paid apart from a few you get free

[onyx oar]

I do too. sometimes I put a speaker behind my plant and put on some vietnamese asmr for nostalgia purposes

[next onyx]

They'll be free

[arctic grove]

No way they lock specialists behind paywalls

[simple linden]

@coarse falcon 👋 just gonna say it was nice playing with you in bf5 that one time when all the youtubers came in on one community server that happened like a million years ago, and cant wait for 2042 to drop 🙂
keep up the great work you do for the community!

[flint jay]

We'll see, hopefully they give more info in EA Play Live

[simple linden]

specialists will be free

[arctic grove]

It gives them a chance to make people buy more cosmetics further into the life cycle

[onyx oar]

maybe to get them early but paid would be an extremely stupid idea on DICE's part

[elder mango]

they already confirmed all gameplay content will be free

[arctic grove]

New specialist comes out, new bundles to customise them with

[simple linden]

every game changing addition to the game is free for everyone

[flint jay]

But then grinding isn't free

Free means just being able to use it free-of-charge

Just go in-game and play

[elder mango]

oh you'll definitely have to grind for the battlepass rewards

but if they do something like they did in bfv

[flint jay]

Battlepass grinding sure, that's fine but I mean for unlocking specialists

[elder mango]

you'll be able to purchase the stuff afterwards with in game money

[arctic grove]

Bp means player retention

[elder mango]

they'll probably be in the free battlepass

[arctic grove]

That or spending a hundred bucks to fast track it

[somber hinge]

specialists will be free afterwards anyway you'll probably either get them at the end or have to do a challenege

[elder mango]

which kinda sucks

[flint jay]

They need to expand on that part

It's pretty important

[elder mango]

considering theres always gonna be those people who buy 100 tiers day 1

and get the specialists before anyone else

[simple linden]

even if they do, they arent going to be op

[onyx oar]

https://tenor.com/view/drink-water-drinking-fish-thirsty-whaleshark-gif-17289007

[flint jay]

Like if they said gameplay content is free then putting a specialist at tier 80 or whatever isn't free

That is locked to me

I need to spend time to unlock it

[somber hinge]

still is technically free

[arctic grove]

That’s the replacement for the whales who would otherwise spend thousands on the loot boxes. Not as good a whale for the company but still guaranteed extra spending

[flint jay]

That ain't free

Especially if the tier is hard to grind to

[somber hinge]

so what guns in bfv aint free?

[storm sentinel]

https://gaming.amazon.com/loot/battlefield1 dont forget to claim

[flint jay]

Idk I don't play it

[arctic grove]

The specialists will most likely be effectively a tier 1 unlock

[somber hinge]

guns in anyfps game ain't free xd

[onyx oar]

Free in the context of things is not paying real money for it. Don't start changing things to your liking -.-

[flint jay]

But they wouldn't be because then the year 1 pass says it unlocks 4 specialists

[soft kayak]

We do get 10 for free. So not a few

[elder mango]

im sure they'll make the specialists purchasable after the season is over with in game money like they did in bfv

[flint jay]

You think the rest will be paid as I said?

[storm sentinel]

Battlefield 1
FULL GAME FOR PC ON ORIGIN

Immerse yourself in the glorious chaos of all-out war in Battlefield 1 -

Check back on August 2nd for a Battlefield V Giveaway

[somber hinge]

most likely be a challenge unlock like cod

[soft kayak]

I dont think so. I think there may be grind to get them, but EA would probably make more money off of skins for new specialists than the specialists themselves

[elder mango]

most likely not

i think they would rather go with what they've already done

[somber hinge]

very much doubt they'll make you pay for them after its over

entirelly

[rotund horizon]

100% true. Especially in long term

[somber hinge]

its not anyway near the same

[arctic grove]

My phone died lol

[onyx oar]

I hope it's challenges, or leveling or grinding in game currency to unlock. Gives me a goal besides run around and shooting people,

[soft kayak]

We didnt have to pay money for bfv weapons.

[elder mango]

but the ingame currency was so easy to get they were practically free

[arctic grove]

Was gonna say I really doubt they would hide specialists behind like a 100 hour grind

[elder mango]

it is, you unlocked the new guns in that game by grinding in a short period of time to unlock rewards, like a battlepass

[soft kayak]

you could say there is a sense of "pride and accomplishment"?

[flint jay]

I hope they don't because then I'm going to have to pay, I don't play enough

[somber hinge]

its not

[onyx oar]

definitely

[elder mango]

ok its not then 🤨

[onyx oar]

Like getting the Peacekeeper in BF1 is such a grind but damn does it feel good once you get your hands on it

[elder mango]

i had the same problem in bfv but being able to purchase the thing after pretty much solved it

[onyx oar]

nothing beats that feeling

i played enough to get enough points to purchase the things i missed and still wanted

[flint jay]

Like challenges similar to unlocking the UCAV in BF4 I'd be fine with

But not grinding

[elder mango]

whatever it is i hope there is some way to unlock stuff in the battlepass besides grinding

[flint jay]

Money is obviously going to be a factor

[onyx oar]

I hope it's just grinding cause if it has a time limit and challenges I'm going to play the game to complete the passes and not enjoy the game

[elder mango]

i had that issue with mw

i missed a gun in the bp

then saw the challenge i had to do to get it and found it too tedious and ended up just not enjoying doing them

[onyx oar]

take away the time limit imo and it takes away a lot of the stress

[flint jay]

I'd really like the system from BF4

Where you complete challenge anytime and get the item

[elder mango]

if they do something like halo infinite where you can choose at all times which battlepass you work towards then that would be good

[onyx oar]

it is the superior system

[flint jay]

So say 6 specialists are locked, for each you complete a challenge to get it

[elder mango]

honestly yeah

[flint jay]

And it's basically free and somewhat easy to get

[onyx oar]

but not the most affordable so yeah 😦

[flint jay]

But it doesn't make money

So probably won't happen

[onyx oar]

specialists are different tho. That's gameplay not cosmetics.

[flint jay]

Grinding makes people play

Challenges don't

[elder mango]

well they could do it so the challenge is only doable once the battlepass is over, making money from those who want to get it immediately, while allowing other players to get it for free after the fact

[austere hill]

Bf4 sucked for new players though. Like as new to the game not franchise. Getting dumped on by peeps with better laserbeam weapons was annoying not to mention the complete lack of tools vs vehicles

[onyx oar]

bruh imagine not doing challenges

[arctic grove]

daily challenges, shoot 30 snipers from a tornado

[flint jay]

Today's challenge: run someone over in a humvee whilst jumping out and parachuting into a tank x20

[mortal raft]

Get 50 kills in a round hipfirering in objective areas while crouching.

[arctic grove]

Get 5 kills with robodog

[flint jay]

Get 100 kills with long range 1000m+ sniper rifle

In one match

rip

[onyx oar]

daily challenges are stupid. Same goes for the medals in bf1. Don't understand why games want me to stress out over these things

just let me chill and do things at my own pace

[flint jay]

God I hate daily challenges

The whole daily challenge shit in rocket league is so annoying

It's so boring

People only do it because they don't have money to pay for skins

[onyx oar]

can help you tomorrow if you want. We hop into a server and you kill me a couple of times til you unlock it

[flint jay]

Or cars or whatever they want

It's so easy

Go to air superiority server

[pallid robin]

Bruh

[onyx oar]

they empty af

[flint jay]

If your on PC there's one

in eu

I learnt how to fly better by playing them too

[onyx oar]

bind pitch up to space bar and fly at the speed of 313

[flint jay]

Not always works

If you playing against jet God that don't do shit

[pallid robin]

How to get skills?

[onyx oar]

really? nah i dont believe you

[flint jay]

You being sarcastic?

[onyx oar]

no

[soft kayak]

Progression as a whole is just annoying IMO. I can make my own fun, I dont need the game to give me a checklist

[flint jay]

Dude sarcasm don't work on text

You gotta use kappa

[onyx oar]

[worldly sentinel]

Chances alpha is announced tomorrow?

[pallid robin]

[flint jay]

no info on that yet... it's EA play live

Should have some more gameplay though

And find out the redacted mode/hazard zone details hopefully

[simple linden]

And more info about everything

[pallid robin]

They prob will

[bleak nebula]

I really hope it's more than just a redacted mode reveal trailer and then 30 min fifa/madden

[soft kayak]

I mean we kinda already know what the redacted mode is

[pallid robin]

For hazard zone

[simple linden]

I bet at least 1h specifically for 2042

[flint jay]

I think it might be just redacted mode

[fervent tartan]

Yo we getting IFVs like Bradley and bmp3/armada 15s or the usual lav 25 and btr 90 but futuristic or both?

[flint jay]

Hopefully it's some shooting though and a useful blog post

[soft kayak]

Wasnt the playtest delayed?

i am going to have a big chu gus emblem in bf2042

[worldly sentinel]

I think they'll be streamers playing for sure

[simple linden]

It's most likely going to be prerecorded

[arctic grove]

repub if you had a nude emblem in bo2 and never got banned for it

[simple linden]

So if they show people playing, they've already played it

[bleak nebula]

theoretically streamers/ytubers might play before that and we would never know

[bleak nebula]

technical playtest is the playtest with thousands of participants, that one was delayed

DICE JUST TAKE MY MONEY

[severe hill]

thats a heli on the first image and the other is Operation Firestorm

[arctic grove]

EA better show gameplay

[soft kayak]

This is the Caspian border wall. You can see the watch tower

[severe hill]

I wonder what siege of shanghai tower will they add next

[arctic grove]

Yooo that looks like it indeed

[arctic grove]

Indeed looks like it

[round garden]

@severe hill the recent little video they teased on twitter sounded like helicopter being pulled into a tornado so maybe tornados on operation firestorm?

[arctic grove]

Bro so much similar stuff

Im hyped

[severe hill]

knocks dwon smoke stak

Siege of Shanighai tower will not be the same

it shund be taller and better destrucnbile skyscraper

[round garden]

What if the tornado flew into one of the huge flaming tanks and became a fire tornado

[soft kayak]

It better not be destructible. Worst part of the map was when the tower went down

[opal compass]

[severe hill]

and the worst part is not having a destructible downtown

deal with it

[soft kayak]

Sure its cinematic but after youve seen it 10 times it looses the wow factor and just makes the map worse

[severe hill]

yall will just be camping in them

[arctic grove]

Im super hyped for next season of warface

[severe hill]

placing clay mores in elevators

[arctic grove]

Shanghai with the tower up is a great map, once it crashes the map is boring

[severe hill]

then make the tower collaspe the other way

into other tower

[soft kayak]

Not the problem at all

[severe hill]

you can get more cover and will block vehicle

Oil rig tower falling

Even in the dlc

cargo crates can topple over

[round garden]

Hardline had one really cool map with a train that drove by in the middle of the map

[radiant prism]

Yeah, Hardline had a good amount of Levolution

[severe hill]

and detailed

[radiant prism]

Looked better than a lot of BF4's too IMO

[round garden]

Hardline felt like a mod for bf4 tho

[potent matrix]

Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Lossy

[bleak nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-pablo-lonely-alone-gif-12928789

[severe hill]

Bf1 had a levotion with the stone arch on sinai desert

[arctic grove]

Honestly I don't care about levolution

[radiant prism]

BF1 had a few minor things like that with bridge collapses, but nothing to the same level as BF4/H and whatnot

Unless you count the Airship crashes...but ehh

[arctic grove]

Those looked so bad

[severe hill]

We are going to have a Rocket event

[radiant prism]

But yeah general consensus is that Levolution is a bit gimmicky

[severe hill]

and that like the onyl destruction event we get to see so far

[radiant prism]

Well, we've got Tornados now, we've yet to see the full extent of what those do

[soft kayak]

^^^
Id prefer good maps to 1 time wow factors

[severe hill]

the airship crashing want that bad

on one map

[radiant prism]

Plus Devs have hinted at more variety in events in the future, I think they've mentioned Earthquakes and Volcanoes as well?

[arctic grove]

Same way that the tornado looks pretty annoying

[soft kayak]

Levelutions ranged from boring to legitimately making the map worse

[round garden]

@radiant prism bf1 blimbs: excuse us

[severe hill]

oh you mean for battlefield 7

[soft kayak]

no, for post launch. Though this was Henderson, not the devs

[radiant prism]

No I meant on like post-launch maps for 2042

[radiant prism]

Oh, was that Henderson?

[soft kayak]

yeah

[bleak nebula]

battlefield V still getting roasted on reddit

[radiant prism]

I thought it was in a briefing or FAQ or something

[round garden]

@radiant prism maybe because the maps are so large they can have multiple levolution events

[severe hill]

we got cod devs working on bf

[soft kayak]

• reddit's opinion
  dont care

[severe hill]

they can make the map not destrucible and be a hugg ass cod map

[radiant prism]

Ehh, we don't really need more spam on that IMO

[onyx oar]

Amen

[bleak nebula]

just barely better than 4chan anyway

[radiant prism]

I'm ok with Tornados and Sandstorms going on at the same time because it makes sense (and gives me Mad Max Fury Road vibes), but we don't need Tornados and Volcanoes at the same time or whatever

[soft kayak]

4chan is at the very least self aware that their userbase is disabled

[severe hill]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0mh9IiUV00

[worldly star]

we dont need any of them at the same time, they need to be rare events

[arctic grove]

Reddit is good depending on the subs you go on, but it has to be a good subreddit

[sturdy prism]

Dude, volcanoes would be epic as a levolution

Fun easter egg maybe, but not something that should be done easily

[worldly star]

thatd suck

[radiant prism]

Would ruin that particular map if people could just do it willy nilly

[arctic grove]

My question is if a tornado randomly starts out of nowhere, wouldn't the best thing to do is to evacuate

[worldly star]

there would be no map left

[worldly star]

its a video game, not real life

[radiant prism]

I mean yeah, thats pretty much what you do IRL

[onyx oar]

so there isnt really any naval stuff in the game from what i understand so what will we do when a tsunami hits us?

[soft kayak]

and battlefield reddit is not one of them
Just look at this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/olvu9q/bf4_the_ideal_2042_season_imo/
I cant tell if its satire or not

[radiant prism]

Stands to reason it'd work well in BF2042

[severe hill]

will the tornado grow

[arctic grove]

Sure, but I was just thinking its kind of weird

[round garden]

@arctic grove the soldiers in bf are crazy maniacs

[worldly star]

there wont be tsunamis at launch i dont think

[arctic grove]

r/battlefield2042 is so toxic and can't take any criticism.

[soft kayak]

this was on regular r/battlefield

[radiant prism]

I guarantee you there'll be just as many people running towards the tornado as there will be running away

[arctic grove]

Both are bad

[onyx oar]

oof

[worldly star]

i mean by 2042 we could probably create a tornado at will if we wanted to

[bleak nebula]

drown

[radiant prism]

Reddit as a whole is a bit of an echo chamber

[soft kayak]

Agreed. They only seem to get decent when their respective game looses support

[arctic grove]

I doubt it

[round garden]

One thing i really hope they improve from bf4 are the parachutes

[worldly star]

idk man

they can do some funky stuff with weather

[onyx oar]

Elite soldiers forgets how to swim 2042 colorized

[radiant prism]

Its good for a bit of light browsing once in a while, but sucks for discussion

[soft kayak]

when did they say there was a tsunami?

[arctic grove]

tom

[bleak nebula]

they didn't

[arctic grove]

Any fandom sub is toxic, like if you went on r/marvelstudios and said that Shang Chi doesn't look interesting, you'll get downvoted to oblivion

said tsunami in future update

[onyx oar]

take it with a grain of salt it's tom that talked about it

[radiant prism]

Im pretty sure he was just quoting at devs there though wasn't he?

[soft kayak]

lol
Is there any reason to think that film wont be the other 2 dozen marvel films?

[worldly star]

why would there be a tsunami if theres no naval warfare

doesnt make sense

[arctic grove]

bf4 map

[radiant prism]

Well, they may add more naval stuff later

[arctic grove]

floodzone

[bleak nebula]

there is no naval warfare at launch, who knows what happens post launch

[soft kayak]

if its post launch then the tsunami would probably be with a naval themed season

[worldly star]

ik im talking abt at launch

[arctic grove]

tsunami would be levolution

[onyx oar]

will probably have simultaneous release. At least that would make sense

[worldly star]

thats my point

[radiant prism]

Well, we don't have tsunamis at launch, so thats not an issue

[arctic grove]

interested on how theyll make the tsunami, how it looks

[soft kayak]

but yeah it could be like bf4 floodzone

[worldly star]

itd make sense to bundle it with the water stuff lol

[arctic grove]

tsunamies can destroy buildings

Guys just look up the 2011 japan tsunami if you want more details

[soft kayak]

no

[somber nebula]

[soft kayak]

[somber nebula]

when its flooded its horrible

[arctic grove]

its the best map in the game facts

[vast field]

When is the alpha play test?

[craggy marten]

I think that one Chinese map in BF4 with a minor flood was better

[soft kayak]

There is a very good chance all of these weather events are just cancer

[radiant prism]

Probably already going on behind closed doors

[craggy marten]

It destroys this chinese inspired building

Forgot the name of the map

[soft kayak]

bruh half the bf4 maps are chinese you need to be more specific

[arctic grove]

sad no china faction in 2042

[arctic grove]

He's talking about the map with buildings

[soft kayak]

possibly the PAC

[radiant prism]

China is gone

[bleak nebula]

I like how we as community never can agree on something

[soft kayak]

oh ok the one with destruction?

[arctic grove]

Yeah more specifically, the maps that support 64 players

[soft kayak]

ah right
fuckin hate that map

[onyx oar]

My opinion is the right opinion REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[soft kayak]

well obviously the first person is a moron

[arctic grove]

How do you think the game will run on midrange to low end hardware?

BF3: US RU, BF4: US RU CN, BF1: US, GER, FRA, RU, ENG, AUS, ITA, OT, ROY, SOV

BFV: GER, US, ENG, JPN

2042: US RU

[soft kayak]

ok. In those game all of the factions are reskins of eachother. They meant nothing

[onyx oar]

@arctic grove you really sad about losing your countries arent ya?

[arctic grove]

TRUE

[soft kayak]

Bfv was the only game to actually have unique factions.

[arctic grove]

unless about bfv

[craggy marten]

It was one of the Dragon's teeth maps

[tame token]

@arctic grove Switching to Geico to save 15% or more on Car Insurance: Priceless

sad there was no red army

[radiant prism]

Also, we're still getting a big diversity of characters. The main factions are US and RU, but the actual player characters are from all over the world

[arctic grove]

People if I buy the battlefield 2042 standard edition will I have access to the beta?

yes everyone gets access to the beta but if you preorder gold or ultimate you get early access to the beta and the release

I think theres a chance we'll get faction-specific customization

[arctic grove]

doubt

[soft kayak]

0 evidence for that

[arctic grove]

Mara vs mara

[radiant prism]

Circumstantial evidence, actually

[arctic grove]

they shouldve atleast made RU mara gray and US mara green

[soft kayak]

"because maria has this skin with russians in the trailer, then its a russian skin"
Cmon man

[arctic grove]

unfortunately prob not the case

[radiant prism]

Think I've brought this up before, but this appears to be a Russian-camo'd Maria skin (note the distinctive blue gloves)

[onyx oar]

I think DICE isn't going to make faction specific things so they can spend more time on selling you cosmetics

[soft kayak]

that is a bot

[arctic grove]

i hope your right

[arctic grove]

unfortunately

[radiant prism]

Hence why I said "theres a chance", im not saying its 100%

Never have said it

[arctic grove]

otherwise i will only play solo lol

[onyx oar]

live service 😦

[arctic grove]

trend

[craggy marten]

Its like the Dawnbreaker map but in the center there is this chinese marketplace thing that gets flooded mid match

[arctic grove]

but theres still hope because the trailer was in pre alpha, the grass didn't even render lol

and gameplay

[soft kayak]

This character does not match the silhouette of Maria at all. There is no medical bag on its back. And we see this skin enough to know there is no syringe pistol or med bags on the front. It is a bot
the blue gloves do not mean shit

[onyx oar]

pre alpha looked better than bfV's pre alpha let me tell you that

[arctic grove]

BFV beta graphically looked better than at launch

[onyx oar]

You should've seen the pre alpha. shits was messed up a month before beta

they crunched the shit out of bfV thats for sure

[radiant prism]

We don't see the front of this character at all, as far as I've seen we never saw another character model with both those gloves and that camo. Once again, I know its not 100%, I just find it interesting that this skin has the same gloves as Maria, who is the only character who has consistently had those gloves.

[arctic grove]

flood zone??

[onyx oar]

Is flood zone in china?

[arctic grove]

yeah

On the lore of 2042. How woul natural disasters and global warming eventually end up in a Ice age?

with 2142

[onyx oar]

lol my brain has assumed it was in Brazil for some reason

[arctic grove]

7-1

[craggy marten]

Not flood zone

It was a Dragon's teeth map

It had flooding in it too

sunken dragon?

That one

[arctic grove]

would like to see that return in 2042

Sunken Dragon was cool.

would be cool if there are remastered maps from BF1 but set in 2042 universe

I hope that 2042's equivalent to the Naval Strike maps are played... Unlike the Naval strike maps in BF4

[arctic grove]

Guys I forgot who brought it up origianlly, but the pc requirements are probably going to be like the battlefield 5 comp requirements (the gpu will probably be less however)

OS: 64-bit Windows 10 or later
Processor (AMD): AMD Ryzen 7 2700 or equivalent
Processor (Intel): Intel Core i7 8700 or equivalent
Memory: 16GB RAM
Graphics card (NVIDIA): NVIDIA GeForce® RTX 2070
Online Connection Requirements: 512 KBPS or faster Internet connection
Available Disk Space: 50GB

I never understood naval strike in BF4 I would just cap objectives and miss my chance to blow up their ship so i never got the challenge done xD

[upbeat hinge]

those are the requirements for bf 5?

[arctic grove]

Comp requirements

of Bfv

[radiant prism]

Hmm, I guess so...good spots.

[arctic grove]

the only good naval strike map was nansha strike imo

[craggy marten]

What challenge?

[arctic grove]

I hope they add more naval warfare

[upbeat hinge]

oh

[craggy marten]

I've only played ONE full match of a Naval Strike map

[arctic grove]

Fr

[craggy marten]

It was the one with the mountain and the castle.

[arctic grove]

operation mortar

[onyx oar]

arm and destroy those things on the ship. It's for a medal so it's not very important but my completionist brain wants it done

[arctic grove]

that map sucks

[onyx oar]

🤢

[craggy marten]

I think the map is good in concept

In concept

[arctic grove]

the map looks good

just plays terribly

kinda like dragon pass

[craggy marten]

I hope snipers and rocket launchers get buffed in BF2042

[onyx oar]

I like the cannons tho

[craggy marten]

I cant get a single kill with any of the rockets in even a tiny area in a map like locker

But a shit grenade that was far away from me can one shot

[onyx oar]

Sir can i interest you in the church of C5?

[flint jay]

Dude rockets and similar launcher based stuff are sooo unrealistic

You do like a RPG and it affects such a small area sometimes

[craggy marten]

I wish rocket launchers were more powerful

[flint jay]

A SRAW doesn't even kill someone unless you hit them directly

[mortal raft]

Snipers are already annoying enough. Don't need a buff.

[radiant prism]

RPGs are weak against infantry for balancing reasons

[onyx oar]

warzone RPG meta ptsd kicks in

[craggy marten]

Warzone had an RPG meta?

[soft kayak]

Most importantly though is the silhouettes. This is something skins rarelt mess with because its the most important thing when it comes to class recognition.

[mortal raft]

Yeah, RPG against infantry should suck

[onyx oar]

yup big splash damage and one shot weapon

[craggy marten]

That's dumb tho

[mortal raft]

They're meant to counter vehicles.
Otherwise they would be annoying

[radiant prism]

People running around deleting people with RPGs is dumber though

[craggy marten]

I hit a guy with a rocket and goes to 25 health

In that time he has enough to kill me

[radiant prism]

(See: BFV Launch)

[mortal raft]

Gameplay > realism

[craggy marten]

With his 5 Billion teammates in one spot next to the explosion that SOMEHOW DIDNT HIT THEM

[radiant prism]

They had to explicitly nerf BFV's AT launchers because they were being spammed too much and it was ruining the gameplay

[onyx oar]

rockets: strong against tanks, weak against infantry
grenade launchers: weak against tanks, strong against infantry
It's not about realism it's about balance

[radiant prism]

Also it enforces their intent to be used against tanks

[onyx oar]

yeah DICE can leave it as it is. I don't want an rpg meta

[craggy marten]

I still think rockets should be slightly buffed

ITS A ROCKET LAUNCHER

[flint jay]

Yeah but stuff like that is a thing and people complain that the game is not immersive if you use anime skins

[craggy marten]

Not a tennis ball to the face

[rain narwhal]

I don’t want people to have a fuckton of ammo for grenade launchers

[radiant prism]

Tell that to a bullet

[rain narwhal]

People spam grenades and shit and it’s annoying

[flint jay]

How is it immersive if a rocket hits someone and they dont die

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 4 at 144fps ultra is beautfiul

[radiant prism]

You can take a .45 ACP round to the head in BF and walk it off

[onyx oar]

I mean why not throw all balance out and make everything one shot in that case?

[craggy marten]

Especially when there's 5 people in that radius and somehoe dont get affected

[flint jay]

Well yeah sure

[craggy marten]

Except the one guy you hit

[radiant prism]

Like someone said a minute ago, Gameplay > Realism

[onyx oar]

Balance > Realism

[craggy marten]

Who SOMEHOW absorbed the blash

[onyx oar]

great minds think alike ey?

[tame token]

Maxing BF4 settings in 2021, Easy....

[radiant prism]

ey

[flint jay]

Dude BF4 has pretty good balance between tanks and players and you bet your ass they're gonna nerf them because so many people complain about them

[radiant prism]

But yeah please no RPG meta

[arctic grove]

Yeah I know, if only bf2042 ran this good, I'll just have to upgrade

[bleak nebula]

seems like there will be more tanks, but more rpgs too

[flint jay]

I hope vehicle warfare is as good in the new BF as it was in BF4

[radiant prism]

If RPGs could consistently one shot, people would use them to just delete people at range instead of actually using their gun

[flint jay]

I do not like vehicle warfare in BFV

[onyx oar]

grenade launcher = infantry
RPG = vehicles
Not sure why we want to change this all of a sudden -.-

[radiant prism]

Would ruin gameplay and remove any emphasis on them being focused as AT weapons

[onyx oar]

and grenades

and C5

[craggy marten]

I don't want that changed completely

Uts a goddamn rocket launcher

[deep heart]

No ea play?????

[onyx oar]

tommorrow

[indigo hazel]

Tomorrow

[radiant prism]

[onyx oar]

take away auto repair imo first

one click to restore health on your vehicle is annoying

[arctic grove]

I really disliked the self heal in bfv

[craggy marten]

Rockets should do good damage

[onyx oar]

If you are in an armored tank and I outplay you as an infantry you shouldn't be able to do that

[wide shore]

YES

[craggy marten]

And not leave the opponent at 25

Even worse when you change back to your guns and you are instantly dead

[onyx oar]

I'm just a soldier and you are a tank. All cards are stacked against me

[craggy marten]

Because of the slow switch

[radiant prism]

Im telling you, BFV tried that approach and it was awful

[indigo hazel]

I liked BF4's repairing, you can regenerate health/repairs automatically, but you’ll have to out of combat.

[radiant prism]

RPGs are fine where they are, lets please keep it that way

Explosive spam is not fun, contrary to what r/battlefield_one will tell you

[onyx oar]

bf4 had a good system tbh and the repair tool wasn't OP

[craggy marten]

I'm not saying to spam it

[flint jay]

Why do people say BF4 gunplay is bad

[craggy marten]

I'm saying to slightly increase its power

[radiant prism]

What you're suggesting would only encourage it

[wide shore]

I’m fine with repairing inside the tank. It requires a bit more urgency than auto-repair. But that auto-heal 25 damage by pressing one button BS is stupid.

[flint jay]

Do they mean like TTK and bullet physics or what

[radiant prism]

If you increase RPG infantry damage, people are inevitably going to spam it

[craggy marten]

There can be countermeasures

[onyx oar]

If a remember correctly its something about bloom effect or something

[arctic grove]

Its just light, but I wouldn't call it bad

[drifting geode]

When is the beta of BF 2042 ?

[craggy marten]

Especially in the future setting of the game

[onyx oar]

[radiant prism]

[drifting geode]

No xd

[arctic grove]

[indigo hazel]

I got muted for three days for calling people sussy bakas : (

[arctic grove]

Posting this because of Casper's drip

[onyx oar]

F

[indigo hazel]

I don’t know how it’s harassment, but it is I guess

only a sussy baka would do that squints eyes

What minimum fps do you need to have a fun time in bf2042? (I want to hear your opinions)

[indigo hazel]

I’d say 60

[arctic grove]

Yeah 60 seems good

60 for me as well

[gritty flower]

60

[indigo hazel]

I don’t need 120, 60 is more then enough for me, and the game itself

[torpid shuttle]

60 is good.
