Generous of them, letting us host dedicated server for free

dreamy hornet
#

i just want to have a playable experience with other players

#

How to experience El Alamein

arctic grove
#

There are no third-party server providers this time?

playing at 150 ping against EU players is not fun man

150 ping vs bots it is then

Hi

grand kelp
#

It’s around the new vehicle

pulsar escarp
#

Man i love the idea of custom servers its like a self contained anti cheat specially private servers for competitive play

slim quiver
#

LOL

grand kelp
#

Yee

#

From that point, it became a meme

granite lotus
#

This is why I love this community.

lone wren
#

lets not animal abuse the penguin i shall end a battle just to hang out with penguins the whole 128 player lobby

celest turtle
#

It's coming out in November right? Usual launch time

pulsar escarp
#

Make c4pingu meta

onyx oar
#

So is Hazard zone going to release with the game or after the release? I'm bit confused on that part atm :/

granite lotus
#

October 22st

celest turtle
#

22rd

pulsar escarp
#

Thats my bday 😎

grand kelp
#

October 15th for Gold and Ultimate bois, as well as EA Play Pro member

granite lotus
#

Gold is so worth it imo

pulsar escarp
#

Thats also my bday

celest turtle
#

Only 3 months ay

onyx oar
#

but website says later this year. Oh well i'm going to assume it will be released along with the game

celest turtle
#

Ooh

granite lotus
#

Oh that’s poggers for sure

grand kelp
#

Inb4 JackFrag upload first

granite lotus
#

But I almost want to not watch anything at all

pulsar escarp
#

Mod how do we access beat btw? Or is it gonna be closed beta?

onyx oar
#

waiting for games suck 😦

grand kelp
onyx oar
next onyx
grand kelp
#

We haven’t seen Hazard Zone

#

So, there’s at least one more info we need to know

still vault
#

I do

onyx oar
#

we know nothing really about Hazard zone besides NOT being a br

wispy vault
#

more hazard zone info coming before the beta at least

pulsar escarp
#

Yoo so all those previews and all are captured on xbox pre alpha right? So that means the game is gonna look alot better on release

wispy vault
#

"later this year" could be anything tho lol

loud ermine
#

also hazard zone a few weeks to a month before launch (was in the spotlight ea play thing)

pulsar escarp
#

Woooah babay

wispy vault
#

games never look better than their previews

onyx oar
wispy vault
#

I guarantee they've already finished work on the engine and all the assets

#

this is what we're getting

loud ermine
#

we have no idea, thats just what they said

still vault
#

system requirements for the release version for one

onyx oar
#

Wonder if Portal and Hazard Zone are going to be in the beta

pulsar escarp
#

It says pre alpha i dont think they would highlight that if it wasnt

still vault
#

those would be the system requirements for the beta

wispy vault
#

it's meaningless

#

pre-alpha means unplayable

pulsar escarp
#

Wanna bet a stack?

wispy vault
#

but developers abuse the term to protect themselves against any possible fallout by overdelivering

wind smelt
#

minimum req. rtx 3090

loud ermine
#

portal will be, maybe hazard zone will be a separate beta or if its free to play then maybe itll just release

wispy vault
#

they just point to the watermark and say "look we clearly said it was unfinished"

onyx oar
#

yeah I played bfV pre-alpha and that was a horrible experience

wispy vault
#

"we made the game look worse after this, oopsie poopsie"

#

happens all the time

pulsar escarp
#

Bf4 looks incredible still

wispy vault
#

"Alpha software is not thoroughly tested by the developer before it is released to customers. Alpha software may contain serious errors, and any resulting instability could cause crashes or data loss.[3] Alpha software may not contain all of the features that are planned for the final version.[4]"

onyx oar
#

Bf4 is showing signs of aging tho but thats a given considering how old that game is

wispy vault
#

so pre-alpha is even worse than that

#

what they showed us wasn't actually pre-alpha footage

#

100%

#

but like Is aid

#

every developer does that

#

they all lie

still vault
#

If you can't handle an unfinished game being unfinished then just don't play it until it is? PeepoShrug

wispy vault
#

common knowledge

#

it's an open industry secret

pulsar escarp
#

Im betting that it will be better than what weve seen based on compression and pre alpha footage

wispy vault
#

one example: anthem

#

also an EA game

onyx oar
#

They slap pre-alpha on it so you can keep in mind that things might change before launch. keeps you on your tippy toes

wispy vault
#

the "pre-alpha" footage looked way better than the final release

pulsar escarp
#

And xbox has exclusivity on footage i belive

#

But bf is ea golden child

wispy vault
#

but they never showed "pre-alpha" footage, they showed doctored footage set in a doctored area of the game specifically made for the E3 demo

onyx oar
#

Trust me pre-alpha is never this polished

wispy vault
#

by DEFINITION of the term PRE-ALPHA, it can't look that good

onyx oar
#

pre-alpha is the testing stage of different mechanics and systems, they cycle through hunders if not thousands of ideas and see what works and doesnt work

pulsar escarp
#

My argument is that im betting that its gonna look better than what they showed

#

On relase

wispy vault
#

old footage sure, but devs generally finish engine and asset work long before the end of the pre-alpha cycle, and definitely before the game goes into alpha. that's when the focus is on gameplay and balancing elements

pulsar escarp
#

Even if it does look like weve been shown.. still here for it looks good to me

slim quiver
#

The footage we got recently looked better than pre alpha

wispy vault
#

if anything, the graphical fidelity decreases in the final stages of development when most of the work is done to make the game run smoothly on the hardware it has to run smoothly on

main plaza
#

Let's hope the game is better than BF4

pulsar escarp
#

Bfv graphics look amazing and that game was in development in around 2016

wispy vault
#

that's more like it lol yeha

onyx oar
slim quiver
#

Idk how they’re in pre alpha right now at the end of July when the open beta is in September

loud ermine
#

pre alpha isnt a defined term and can be interpreted in different ways, maybe for ea that means certain weapons and vehicles aren't in yet or areas of maps arent polished, its a super flexible term

arctic grove
#

by not having a commander mode

wispy vault
#

but that takes a lot of work

slim quiver
#

Right so like I said the gameplay we saw recently did not look like pre alpha

wispy vault
#

and a lot of devs don't bother

#

but frostbite games are generally well-optimized... eventually

#

cough BF4 cough

slim quiver
#

It’s impossible to tell how old that is

onyx oar
slim quiver
#

And did they sign a NDA

wispy vault
#

I remember Bf3 being amazingly optimized

#

groundbreaking stuff

#

it looked better than any other FPS on the market and ran like a dream

#

that sounds like a problem with your pc LOL

#

obviously the game crashing isn't normal

onyx oar
#

bf3 was a graphical wonder of its time

#

Everyone's eyes started to bleed when they released the first gameplay trailer

pulsar escarp
#

I will debate with anybody that bf4 is probably the best fps in history up to date... Look how much was packed into that game with what they had at that time

slim quiver
#

Alpha testing was still delayed either way

wispy vault
#

i still remember my mind being blown sideways out of my ears by the earthquake reveal in the bf3 campaign gameplay teasers

upper sage
#

cant wait to get back on nosehair canals again

wispy vault
#

that marketing campaign was fucking TIGHT

slim quiver
#

And when that dev said “nobody has played the game”

#

2 weeks ago

#

The footage can’t be that old

wispy vault
#

it's an old game, there can be a fucky interaction with your hardware in 2021

#

but trust me

#

at the time

#

on 2011 hardware

#

bf3 was nothing short of incredible

next onyx
slim quiver
#

They said in the ea play that “we had some community members test and come up with a few ideas”

pulsar escarp
upper sage
#

bf1 soldier on nosehair 😆 new mode is gonna be fun as hell

onyx oar
#

@tribal wyvern You playing a game that was optimised for hardware from 10 years ago. You cannot expect them to still support a game that old

pulsar escarp
#

I run bf4 at around 300 fps on low setts

main plaza
#

Could be some graphical setting casuing the fps loss

pulsar escarp
#

Maybe you have things running on the background

slim quiver
#

Most bf games are pretty well optimized

onyx oar
#

also compatibility mode is a thing 👌

pulsar escarp
#

C4PINGU

next onyx
#

I'm actually kind of excited to play Caspian border and African harbour(?)

slim quiver
#

We have no notes tho on specs for the graphics this time around. I’m guessing it will be higher than expected

onyx oar
#

El Alamein all day for me ❤️

slim quiver
#

That was BFV’s minimum

#

It was a 1050-1060 minimum

#

Yes

#

BF 2042 will be definitely higher

upper sage
#

wonder if progression is disabled on portal mode, what about all the skins & unlocks from all the games ?

grand kelp
#

Us 3090 will be ray tracing

slim quiver
#

If they kept the same graphics from BFV without doing anything

#

I’d be surprised

main plaza
#

1660 for mini and rtx 2060 for recommended

tidal orbit
#

guys where can i see the number of preorders per games on steam?

upper sage
#

ahhhh thats pretty cool I gues sso u need to actually own the other games then

main plaza
slim quiver
#

You won’t know that until we see the specs

main plaza
#

True

tropic delta
#

the thing is, why shoulkd you play bf4 and bf3 ever again - portal is providing THE experience for both games

slim quiver
#

If the minimum for BFV was a 1050-1060 3 years ago, that was basically the release date of the actual 1060

tropic delta
#

so, lets play bf4 as lang as possible and then lay it to rest

main plaza
#

Should be

wispy vault
#

you can go lower and still squeeze out playable frames 😛

slim quiver

#

Hi folks, Is the Hazard Zone a BR mode? because seems like in reddit they are convinced its a BR mode?

wispy vault
#

DICE seems convinced it's not a BR mode

pulsar escarp
#

we should know by next month the latest

upper sage
#

I mean like all the bf3 & 4 skins if they'lll be in portal mode & if so how that progression would work

arctic grove
#

It will be pretty well optimized, I am pretty sure they are working on that.

vestal silo
#

then what is it exactly???

wispy vault
#

unknown

grand kelp
#

We don’t know

vestal silo
#

alright ill get back to reddit and tell them

onyx oar
pulsar escarp
#

it not then we should be able to use portal to something similar to a br some how

wispy vault
#

so i dont think there will be progression for the bf3/1942/bc2 assets

main plaza
#

I upgraded to a 10850k just in case

pulsar escarp
#

ohhh baby i dont think you know the community too well

onyx oar
#

Portal makes you change the rules of the game not modify the maps itself. It's not forge

wispy vault
#

if the logic editor is as expansive as they say it is

#

then someone will be able to make a BR out of it

#

no problem

primal current
#

!!specs

slim quiver
#

Yeah I would not go in expecting to see old skins

#

It wouldn’t make sense

next onyx
#

I wouldn't mind if they did a cod ghosts where they give you rewards if you hit max rank in previous games

onyx oar
slim quiver
#

Oh that was cool @next onyx

wispy vault
#

why?

#

oh you mean place guns around

onyx oar
wispy vault
#

you can have a BR without gun pickups

next onyx
#

So for someone like me maybe a rank 500 tag, Or a colonel 150 tag for those who hit max rank on bf3

#

On 2042

wispy vault
#

all a BR needs is a mode in which players spawn in a free for all and they fight until one man is left standing

brittle forge
#

guys do u think it will be possible to create a gun master mode on portal?

arctic grove
#

I mean you could make a BR mode if you like restrict different sections of the map under a timer and you have to move forward towards the middle, but even then its going to be very hard to monitor and control that people don't cheat etc. In the end of the day its not worth having a BR mode, BR is old news

still vault
#

A guess is that you can't manually place weapons and buffs around the maps in Portal, making a BR game quite hard to make.

next onyx
primal current
#

have they said anything about min specs air nah?

onyx oar
next onyx
#

No specs

primal current

pulsar escarp
#

"Do not underestimate humanity's infinite potential for malice!" one of the realest quotes of all time

wispy vault
#

i won't be convinced until the russians and chinese have gotten their hands on portal

#

they can make something out of nothing

pulsar escarp
#

how dumb do you think people are?

onyx oar
#

Cause tommorrow or later today this conversation is going to return

peak hill
#

realizing Damavand Peaks isn't one of the classic maps coming out.
I am sad and my day is ruined.

primal current
#

So the bf1942 in portal uses some bfv stuff right

pulsar escarp
#

how do you thinks hackers make hacks?

wispy vault
#

I mean

vestal silo
#

i would like to see a portal mode with 127 players with infinite RPG Ammo and one fighter jet 🤩

onyx oar
wispy vault
#

maybe

main plaza
next onyx
#

Who knows, They may make it so that you may be able to

wispy vault
#

BFV assets for german soldiers or something would be smart

arctic grove
wispy vault
#

but the classes and guns and stuff are from 1942

next onyx
#

One map they should reuse is god damn halvoy, It's barely used and would do great for 2042

pulsar escarp
#

smarter than you on a daily my man

onyx oar
#

No offense but you need to chill out in general in here. Not worth getting this upset over these things.

wispy vault
#

devs aren't gods or something lmao

#

people are fallible

#

when you give tools to the public, unexpected things tend to happen

pulsar escarp
#

this guy doesnt seem to understand that

onyx oar
wispy vault
#

i think the devs will be surprised and someone will find a way to juryrig something like a BR together

pulsar escarp
#

how is there a bf3 battle royale in the works?

wispy vault
#

or, preferably

arctic grove
#

Lemon they are trolling you bro

wispy vault
#

innovate on the BR concept within the constraints of the logic editor

pulsar escarp
#

no were not

wispy vault
#

and make something even more fun than a BR

onyx oar
pulsar escarp
#

are you a dev?

primal current
#

now all we need is Bf1 added in a update or something

arctic grove
#

yeah ahah its hard to tell

steady current
#

lemon is right

onyx oar
wispy vault
#

yeah very true

slim quiver
#

Idk why I keep seeing people asking why BF1 wasn’t added in the portal

#

The game is 5 years old

main plaza
#

How many tanks do you guys think we can get on each team?

pulsar escarp
#

my argument is devs or not if people really want to they can eventually do it

slim quiver
#

That’s not a classic BF game

steady current
#

but horses in PORTAL are needed

grand kelp
pulsar escarp
#

no you dont understand it

onyx oar
#

yeah BF1 can wait give me 2142 please

#

or bf2

pulsar escarp
#

i know the way coding works

arctic grove
#

Some BF1 maps would be nice to see in Portal, but highly unlikely

lost arrow
slim quiver
#

We need Vietnam

chrome current
#

Hello

primal current
#

I understand totally why Bf1 isn’t in the game I just think in a year or two it’d be cool

onyx oar
#

bf1 still has thousands of players so no reason yet to put itin portal

next onyx
#

They might update it down the road, who knows.

arctic grove
pulsar escarp
#

time will tell and youre gonna remember me when that happens

wispy vault
#

thinking of picking up bf1 when im done with mass effect

#

i never played it

lost arrow
#

What i would find funny is a roudkill gamemode. 1 player with a Tuktuk against all players without guns

pulsar escarp
#

not a big fan of br by the way

slim quiver
#

Yeah like I just think since the advertisement for portal was a “love letter to long time fans” it seems they’re reviving games that don’t have support anymore official server wise or who’s playerbases have dwindled

pulsar escarp
#

youre very inexperienced with life and people

wispy vault
#

i mean

pulsar escarp
#

dont understate mate people is what i argue about

wispy vault
#

man's got a point, from what i have seen from you in this channel so far. you have a tendency towards absolutism, which is indicative of immaturity

pulsar escarp
#

oh shit i stuttered through that

next onyx
#

The one map i never got to play was bf3's wake island, That seems really cool

slim quiver
#

BF2 has more daily players funny enough than BF3

pulsar escarp
#

on my phone pooping

slim quiver
#

On PC ofc

wispy vault
#

the fuck it does?

#

seriously?

slim quiver
#

Yes

#

On PC there’s like 1000+ people that play BF2

arctic grove
#

Honestly BF2 still holds up to this day haha

next onyx
#

You might be able to in the future

wispy vault
#

your only evidence for that is the devs words

#

i'll believe it when i see it

slim quiver
#

BF2 is really well done

pulsar escarp
#

thank you mr hank

next onyx
#

Knock it off

slim quiver
#

The game is also a lot harder

#

Yeah can’t we keep this civil guys

grand kelp
#

I would just let the people discover it

#

Or let them find out by themselves

slim quiver
#

We are all just trying to discuss the game we all enjoy.

onyx oar
#

BF 2042

wispy vault
#

yes the devs made the game and the editor, but i also think they're wrong lol

#

somebody will find aw ay

#

calling it now

pulsar escarp
#

ohh baby preachh

grand kelp
#

I’m sure it will

pulsar escarp
#

dummy here doesnt understand that

slim quiver
#

I think the only overshadowed game in the BF franchise is 2142

wispy vault
#

bf2 seems a bit redundant when we have bf3 and 2042 assets

#

that's a lot of modern day shit

slim quiver
#

It sold the worst and it was one of the best BF games

onyx oar
#

1942 is 1943 so you are indirectly getting that lol

worn whale
arctic grove
#

It was ahead of its time Zzzy I believe

next onyx
#

1943 has the same maps from 1942

slim quiver
onyx oar
#

so you want the guns?

next onyx
#

Alright?

slim quiver
#

1943 was just a remastered version almost of 1942. The guns were all in 1942, the vehicles all in 1942

#

The maps in 1942

wispy vault
#

give me bf3 close quarters dlc maps

#

with 128 players

next onyx
#

Ugh

pulsar escarp
#

best maps on bf franchise?

onyx oar
#

the maps are the same just remastered lol

arctic grove
#

Well Metro is coming lol

wispy vault
#

no no

#

metro is too big

next onyx
#

Downtown

wispy vault
#

waaaay too big

next onyx
#

Oops

slim quiver
#

I want the pacific theater as well but it seems like europe won because of the maps

pulsar escarp
#

metro is life bro

arctic grove
#

You can make Metro map smaller

onyx oar
#

hate it when i play metro and get lost

primal current
#

u can do bubbles on it

amber panther
#

BF3 > BC2

primal current
#

or whatever it’s called

next onyx
#

Think i said it earlier but i'm excited to see Caspian border again

wispy vault
#

metro is just a bunch of chokepoints

grand kelp
#

And it’s the BF3 version of Caspian

#

So, that makes it even better!

next onyx
#

Bf5 iwo jima and wake island are pretty good

wispy vault
#

the close quarters dlc maps had circular designs

arctic grove
#

Caspian Border with an updated engine and graphics 😍

wispy vault
#

meant for running around chasing after enemies from flag to flag

slim quiver
#

Iwo Jima and Solomon Islands in BFV were some of the best maps I’ve played in a BF game imo

amber panther
#

name all you want.. all i want is a Great anti Cheat system!

wispy vault
#

some verticality even

worn whale
wispy vault
#

god those were good maps

worn whale
#

I forgot what they're called

#

F17?

#

super?

primal current
#

So there’s no more large press conference type things right?

arctic grove
charred wedge
#

guys, does this mean that we can play normal matches and not custom ones, IN the Classic Maps? Or are Classic Maps exclusive to Portal?

next onyx
#

Possibly

slim quiver
#

BFV had really good maps. So I was wondering why people said they didn’t like them

worn whale
errant sigil
slim quiver
#

I liked maps in BFV way more than anything BF4 had

main plaza
#

I'd like to see silk road back

wispy vault
pulsar escarp
#

they were too unbalanced

next onyx
#

Really the only maps that sucked in bf5 were Al sundan, Panzerstorm and hamada

onyx oar
next onyx
#

Well its either Hamada or Narvik

errant sigil
amber panther
#

so your BF2042 Vanilla stats is different from Portal?

pulsar escarp
#

hamada was such a sick idea but it was way to slow and empty

slim quiver
onyx oar
errant sigil
#

if you change too many portal settings I think they said XP will be reduced or something like that

viscid mango
#

Wake Island Zeroes vs modern Jets
Reenacting The Final Countdown

next onyx
#

Bf5 only sold under a million below projections and people call it a flop

errant sigil
#

They're keeping wake island because they want the hype when they drop it in live service or something

wispy vault
#

your rank and progression are the same in all-out warfare and portal, BUT they have a system in place to detect potentially abusive game settings that would let you farm exp, which will reduce or eliminate progression

#

according to jackfrags anyway

slim quiver
#

The recoil in BF2042 def has me worried

onyx oar
#

nobody wanting 2142 things makes me sad boy. Guess it is meant to stay death 😦

amber panther
#

is Portal > Single Story mode?

next onyx
#

To be fair we only saw.... 3 guns actually being fired

wispy vault
#

there is no campaign

pulsar escarp
#

my bets are that locker metro and bazar will come back season one or at least one of the grinder maps

arctic grove
#

Wait ZZZY! Are you telling me you didn't like Siege of Shangai or Rogue Transmission OR, OR Flood etc

primal current
next onyx
#

The m1a1, dm7 and K30

viscid mango
#

Mig 21 vs Corsair would be interesting

campaign is like 6 hours. portal has so much more usage. id take portal over campaign ANYDAY

wispy vault
#

maybe

next onyx
wispy vault
#

we dont have any specs

steady current
primal current
#

so u can technically just set up 2042 with bf3 classes if u don’t like specialists

or something like that

Reminds me of a guy who said the game was dead in EU for bf1 when there are like 6 servers early in the morning

arctic grove
next onyx
fossil trench
#

Any news on what hazard zone is yet?

arctic grove
#

1 US soldier with an SMG
Vs
50 German Soldiers with knives

wispy vault
#

you can make a game mode that is just regular 2042 conquest or breakthrough, and everyone has access to the 2042 guns and gadgets, BUT instead of specialists, everyone is bf3 classes

next onyx
#

no

The only thing I hate when a BF game slows down in population is Conquest becomes the only active mode and I absolutely hate conquest

@next onyx Could I send you a dm?

Since the annoucement of BF2042 Portal, I guess the next BF title will be on 2025 or 2026

i hope they remaster the battle of bulge from battlefield 1942

I wish they showed a little more of the maps in the trailer

really curious about the remastered maps, how they look, what is changed etc

#

They have Battle of Bulge map

arctic grove
#

WOOHOO

#

less goo

viscid mango
#

Give it time and there will be tons of maps and contents from all other Battlefield games in the end
Would be crazy if DICE just said screw it and surprised us with 2142 Mechs

#

Battle of Bulge is the closest we will get to the Eastern Front

wispy vault
#

especially with the shortages this past year

arctic grove
#

omg i remember that bridge

main plaza
wispy vault
#

there is NO WAY dice will make a game that needs a 20xx or 30xx GPU

nobody has that shit

it was a pain in the ass to cross the bridge

I’m sure they’ll open up the map to accommodate 128 players

#

Do we know the exact start date of the beta? Or just september?

slim quiver
#

All I’m saying about specs is you can’t really say it won’t happen until we see it

wispy vault
#

also the basic engine has to run on ps4 and xbox one

arctic grove
main plaza
arctic grove
#

oi folks join me in General 1 to discuss these topics over voice!

wispy vault
#

if they can downgrade it to run on those consoles, they can make it scalable on PC to let ppl with older rigs play

hollow bobcat
#

but i also do have 32GB of G Skill Trident Z at 3200 MHz

tame cobalt
#

The beta has been delayed to a few weeks after the game's launch

slim quiver

Idk I think some people are underestimating

midnight niche

I know what you said

OwO bulgie wulgie??

What have i done

hollow bobcat
#

im lucky to even got the stuff from the stimulus checks

primal current
amber panther
#

the might bring back Fire Storm woooooo

wispy vault
#

if we are underestimating then DICe is shooting themselves in the foot and releasing a game that 70% of their fans cant play

#

on PC

#

which would be hella fucking dumb in this market

tame cobalt
#

Will bf 2042 run on my ps5???

echo vortex
#

So with this new weapons and past games content in 2042 does that mean all the weapons will be unlockable in normal multiplayer?

wispy vault
#

we cant upgrade even if we wanted to

arctic grove
echo vortex
#

Or Will it just be in the sandbox mode?

main plaza
wispy vault
#

cuz there ARE NO FUCKING CHIPS UGH

onyx oar
#

bring back firestrom map not the gamemode thanks

slim quiver
#

I just think that people haven’t taken into account that BF has always tried to maintain a premium PC experience. I don’t remember any BF game having the same graphical requirements as another Title. If they kept the graphics exactly the same as a 3 year old game I’ll be disappointed

arctic grove
slim quiver
#

We’ve seen what next gen graphics are like and I want the game to feel like next gen

main plaza
#

Hmm I'd say 6 core mini

next onyx
#

They've done some good trips to keep their games looking good though

wispy vault
onyx oar
#

or are we talking about operation firestorm?

arctic grove
wispy vault
#

they're good at optimization

#

or

#

they were anyway lol

slim quiver
wispy vault
#

yeah true

slim quiver
#

Have you seen BF4’s pre alpha photos

wispy vault
#

but hey thats consoles

slim quiver
#

Vs what release was

hollow bobcat
wispy vault
#

ps3 and xbox 360 were especially weak on the hardware side

hollow bobcat
#

and the latency is 15-15-15-36

wispy vault
#

back then for the same amount of money you could build a pc that was 3x as powerful

#

cuz pc parts were still cheap

#

now?

#

no way

next onyx
#

One thing for sure that changes all the time is the art style

wispy vault
#

for the cost of a ps5 you cant even buy a fucking GPU that is as good

next onyx
#

It's small but it's big

wispy vault
#

let alone the rest of the PC

#

shit's fucked

slim quiver
#

If BF wants to keep the reputation of a premium title, they will shoot for higher graphical fidelity. From the animations, the feeling of the transitional movements, the atmosphere

wispy vault
#

well yeah

slim quiver
#

They do it every single entry

#

I doubt that 2042 will have the same graphical req as BFV

main plaza
onyx oar
slim quiver
#

The game is 3 years old

wispy vault
#

but you dont need to push the limits of the hardware to get good animations and movements and atmosphere

slim quiver
#

You don’t need to push the limits

#

But they don’t need to copy paste

wispy vault
#

nah ofc

slim quiver
#

They’ve never done that

wispy vault
#

what they need to do

#

is create a very high upper limit

#

for what the game can look like

wispy vault
#

but also have a REALLY low floor

#

for what the game can look like

#

and then everybody wins

arctic grove
#

The only budget BF game I remember is the BF Online lol, remember those days?

wispy vault
#

like

onyx oar
pine flare
wispy vault
#

one version of the game with raytracing off that runs decently on low-med on a 1660 super

arctic grove
slim quiver
#

The problem is everyone wants to play on PC but they all want to play on a PC from 5-8 years ago in build

wispy vault
#

and one version of the game with raytracing on that brings a 3090 to its knees and looks gorgeous amazing wow

fossil trench
#

Do people even play primarily on next gen? Keep hearing people talk about playing 1 or 2 games because of the limited selection

wispy vault
#

it either doesnt exist

#

or costs 3x MSRP

#

fuck that

arctic grove
#

If only the Semi Conductors weren't so hard to obtain and make...

slim quiver
#

It’s not about 2020 hardware tbh

tame cobalt
onyx oar
slim quiver
#

It’s just not about having a low range PC build and expecting steady frames

wispy vault
#

you just can't push the limit in today's hardware market, it's stupid, people CAN'T upgrade

slim quiver
#

You can upgrade it’s just harder

onyx oar
#

So we should buy a console....oh no wait those are also sold out lol

slim quiver
#

And it’s really only GPU’s. The rest of the market is completely obtainable

#

Consoles are even easier to get

wispy vault
#

GPUs are the most important part in that equation though

Best Buy does a drop every 2 weeks

ya the consoles were bought out because someone had thousands of them in a ware house and was mining bit coins

if only best buy existed in europe lol

main plaza

I ain't paying that much

GPUs and consoles are even more expensive and even harder to get here

I spent my teenhood on BC2

slim quiver
#

My friend got me my GPU from an in store buy at MSRP

you just need to go to a place that doesn’t sell online

main plaza
slim quiver
#

So they only have store inventory

tame cobalt

Vast majority of consoles go directly to users

slim quiver

Yes it is luck

But it still confirms it’s possible

local businesses are great 👌

As for every single other part?

All of them were perfectly in stockc

And CPUs will be definitely tested in 2042 with how many people can be on your screen

wispy vault
#

lol

slim quiver
wispy vault
#

maybe there's a mediamarkt somewhere in my country that has GPUs

#

no I mean

#

permanently

#

those chains disappeared a few years ago

slim quiver
#

Why are they closed permanently

wispy vault
#

because of online retailers

hollow bobcat
#

Best Buy for me here is the best ill get the chance to get a GPU

slim quiver
#

How many online retailers do you have

wispy vault
#

they were driven out of the market

hollow bobcat
#

but other then that im not about to sit there and wait in the blistering heat

chilly jacinth
#

not many places survive without an online store now

wispy vault
#

megekko and alternate and sites like that dominate the PC part market

slim quiver
#

Best Buy is the easiest chance to get anything

wispy vault
#

doesnt exist here

slim quiver
#

Because they make you pick it up in store

#

So you order online and drive there and pick it up

#

Which means NO scalpers

#

Because bots can’t physically walk into a store

Hank search for this place called Microcenter. I bought my old PC there back when I lived in the EU

slim quiver

Micro center is where I got my gpu

So that's awesome

grand kelp
#

Noice!

slim quiver
#

you going with that 1080ti

grand kelp
#

MSRP?

next onyx
#

Well that's one of my options

wispy vault
#

mediamarkt is one of the only large brick and mortar electronics retailers that is left in NL and they dont even sell GPUs

main plaza
next onyx
#

I"m also looking at a 3060TI which is of nearly similar power

slim quiver
next onyx
#

The only difference is that a second hand 1080Ti will be a bit older and well.. yeah

grand kelp
next onyx
#

But with a 3060ti it'll be a bit newer

slim quiver
#

3060ti is nice

grand kelp
#

Yeah, try to get that 3060ti if you can

#

Worth every penny

next onyx
#

I plan on buying a desktop without a GPU and just storing it in my room until i get the GPU

grand kelp
#

Just be sure to buy it from reputable SI

wispy vault
#

3060ti goes for 800 euros in NL, which is 940 dollars

#

which is just

slim quiver
#

If you have a little more cash a 3070ti is better

wispy vault

grand kelp

And with branded components

wispy vault

i am not spending that

next onyx
#

Too bad AMD doesn't really do integrated graphics, Nor can i use this old AMD Radeon HD 5800 on a newer motherboard lmao

wispy vault
#

for a low end card

next onyx
#

I'm sorry APU?

slim quiver
#

I wouldn’t spend 940 dollars on a 360ti LMAO

#

That’s like over a MSRP 3080

wispy vault
#

3080 goes for 1500 dollars

#

so yeah

grand kelp
slim quiver
#

That’s a yikes

wispy vault
#

we're just fucked here

#

that's EU prices and there is no alternative

#

that's it

main plaza
next onyx
#

If their Proc has a G then it's integrated but the processor i'm looking at doesn't have it

slim quiver
#

If I bought a 3080 on Newegg rn it’s 1559

next onyx
#

The cheapest i can get a 3060TI is for 1049 AUD lmao

wispy vault
#

friend of mine straight up had his mother buy a laptop for him in the US and bring it back when she was on holiday

grand kelp
#

What processor you’re looking at?

wispy vault
#

because it was hundreds upon hundreds of euros cheaper

#

than buying one here

next onyx

Which is 773 USD

slim quiver

You know what people are doing a lot right now

I want to get the new CPU but its close to $900 😬

running 127 AI players is WILD and obviously its gonna be very demanding on the system

we're talking 12-13 GB RAM consumption EASILY

127 AI players won't be a possibility iirc

I believe it's up to 64

they havent told us about the AI limits

they will be dumb as hell

You think AI can control vehicles?

Not a fun game

considering the way AI behave in games like cod, i think they should be fine

i mean, veteran bots in cod have AIM bot kek

You can’t just add aimbots on vehicles and call it a good day

if i dont find the playerbase to be active at a particular hour
ill just make a smaller game mode which accomodates my 5-9 friends and then we can do a backfill

Bots are dumb and slow

and here in Oceania, there isnt that many players for older games like BF.

its good for us indians too
either we gotta play on singapore servers OR directly EU

playing at 150 ping against 10 ms ping guys is not fair
