battlefield-2042

[empty hill]

When no BF2 or BF4 era

[arctic grove]

Specialist not operator

[empty hill]

what's the difference

[mortal raft]

I guess we will see, but based on what the trailer showed it does not need specialists

[empty hill]

i also call it operator

[worn birch]

Prob u will play with the normal operators from 2042 but in other eras, more like skins

[empty hill]

since it's easier to pronounce

[fossil trench]

Operators are core mechanics, just like playable maps

If I understand it correctly

[raw vale]

STUKA VERBAND IM ANGRIFF AUF AMERIKANISCHE PANZER UND TRUPPEN ANSAMLUNGEN

[empty hill]

yea

[arctic grove]

He speakin wurst

[mortal raft]

In the play trailer you can see one just be called BC2 Soldier in his first person hud. So he didn't play as operator

[empty hill]

Pretty sure not many hosters will have their servers with specialists

[mortal raft]

And jackfrags also said you will have the classes of each old game playable

[empty hill]

[mortal raft]

Like, even the old BF1942 classes

[tiny wharf]

Nah I don’t think they are compulsory to play the portal. You should be able to play the older games authentically without the operator abilities n shit

[fossil trench]

I’m pretty sure operators are a core mechanic like loadout classes in the other BF games.

[empty hill]

The fact that now "you can make ur own server for free" it's poggers

[topaz hazel]

Do we have a word on when we are going to get more info about the game?

[elder mango]

If you play with a faction from a past game you use that games classes instead of specialists

[empty hill]

Fun aside

if Portal gamemode

[arctic grove]

I wonder if we get any outfits for 1942 soldiers

[full axle]

Hype

[empty hill]

will get more and more updates in the future

[worn birch]

Idk, cuz it doesn't make sense 2042 soldiers with overpowered gadgets against ww2 soldiers lol

[empty hill]

it might kill

[fossil trench]

Yeah I’m confused about what Jack Frags meant

[empty hill]

other battlefields

or take a huge portion of it

[fossil trench]

Maybe I misheard him

[jovial jay]

bf4 theme keep playing in my head at night

🤯

[mortal raft]

That's the point though.
It's not supposed to be balanced.

[empty hill]

[worn birch]

Ahhhh ok

[mortal raft]

That mode was called quality vs quantity for a reason

[empty hill]

You can see in the trailer how the soldiers react to modern tech

So they gotta break physics

to beat em

[fossil trench]

Jack gave an overview of BF Portal and listed a few exceptions in the sandbox mechanics

[empty hill]

The c4 rocket car is an example

[worn birch]

[elder mango]

Can’t wait for the hundreds of portal modes that are just bc2 all classes all gadgets vanilla rush

[fossil trench]

I’m pretty sure he mentioned operators or something

[empty hill]

Pretty sure most servers will be vanilla older franchises

[mortal raft]

He might have just meant that if you choose 2042 soldiers, you only have the specialists

[elder mango]

Yeah

[empty hill]

Doggos vs knife only soldiers

[fossil trench]

I’m gonna create a BC2 throwback only server

It’s gonna be great

[elder mango]

In the gameplay it says ‘BC2 assault’ where it usually shows the specialist name

[mortal raft]

But he also gave an example to just play with BF3 soldiers if you don't like specialists, or was that LevelCap?

[empty hill]

[empty hill]

No

It's literarly logicable

[mortal raft]

Exactly, you can clearly play as the classic classes

[empty hill]

They told we can create our own mods and stuff

[arctic grove]

That's awesome

[empty hill]

so pretty sure creating a vanilla older franchise gamemode

[worn birch]

Classes returning in bf portals

[empty hill]

is 100% possible

[fossil trench]

I fucking love BC2

[empty hill]

I'm surprised they remastered BC2 and BF3 playermodels

[fossil trench]

Great game

[empty hill]

[mortal raft]

That's what I said

[empty hill]

and they've also added the original voice lines

[tiny wharf]

I love how “fuck” and “shit” are allowed but not “cun*”

[empty hill]

Poggers

[empty hill]

sensitive word for pussies

[fossil trench]

British people probably

[mortal raft]

Man, it's gonna be amazing

[empty hill]

bri'ish

[tiny wharf]

That word literally means anything in Australia

Love it

[empty hill]

Yeah , that world is daily used eh?

Australia land of swearing

[mortal raft]

Don't like the new gunplay? Just change it.

[empty hill]

i say it's good

[mortal raft]

Prefer no autoheal? Just disable it

[empty hill]

better than bf3 and 4

honestly

imo

[tiny wharf]

It’s like you hear people swearing in the street but you just don’t give a fuck coz it’s normal

[empty hill]

Many people asked the gun play to be like BFV from what i remember

[mortal raft]

From the trailer it looks like the guns have no recoil. Hope I'm wrong.

[tiny wharf]

But you do it anywhere else you’re “disturbing the peace”

[empty hill]

Yeah it's kinda like BFV

[mortal raft]

BFV does have recoil though

[empty hill]

I mean

[worn birch]

2% recoil lmao

[empty hill]

The gameplay

[elder mango]

Yeah well it’s most likely that that gun used from bc2 has no recoil as it had basically none in the original game

[empty hill]

was also on console

because

it was obvious he was using aim assist

[fossil trench]

Peashooter gun mechanics

[empty hill]

Pretty sure on pc is different

[tiny wharf]

Can’t stand Battlefield V at all

Don’t like the gun play

[worn birch]

Lmaoooo

[tiny wharf]

Feels to slippery

[empty hill]

I didn't liked BF4

it was abusable

aslong with the movement

tbh

[mortal raft]

There is the Caspian Border scene were we see a BF2042 gun being fired in first person and it doesn't seem to have much recoil either

[fossil trench]

Please don’t disappoint me DICE with BFV gun mechanics

It ruins the entire experience

[tiny wharf]

And the whole attrition system and how you spawn with ammo and health pack just turned me away

[empty hill]

It was on console , i saw the aim assist

[mortal raft]

Aim assist doesn't really remove recoil though or does it?

[slim quiver]

How did BFV gun mechanics ruin the experience?

[elder mango]

I just chalked that up to it being a semi auto gun but it might have also just been for trailer reasons, I hope guns have weight and power to them

[slim quiver]

I

[fossil trench]

To me it did

[empty hill]

Should u be happy that it doesn't have BF4 movement? 😄

Bro

[slim quiver]

They’re basing the movement off of BFV

[empty hill]

I played a lot of different fps games

with different

gun mechanics

and got used to it

to all of them

get used to it

[worn birch]

It removes, cuz the aim will follow the enemy, then u will have small recoil while shooting against him

[empty hill]

same for when bf4 got out

i had to get used to it's new mechanics

[tiny wharf]

The movement is the one thing I did like

[fossil trench]

I don’t really care at all about movement mechanics as long as it isn’t wall running lmao

[mortal raft]

Same, got to wait and see.
If it's really bad just change the gun mechanics in BF Portal

[empty hill]

Idk about u guys

[arctic grove]

When is the next battlefield reveal?

[empty hill]

we're the shotguns realistic

i mean in terms of

distance and recoil

and damage aswell?

[fossil trench]

No

Damage yes

[slim quiver]

They never were

[mortal raft]

No, realistic shotguns would probably be OP in games

[fossil trench]

I would agree with damage

[elder mango]

Battlefield isn’t arma 3

[fossil trench]

Buckshot would shred you in real life

[elder mango]

Realistic gunplay doesn’t necessarily = good gunplay

[slim quiver]

None of the gunplay is realistic

[fossil trench]

No it’s small metal balls

[slim quiver]

For a reason obviously

Not even BF3 tbh

[fossil trench]

In a shotgun shell

[slim quiver]

Use a sniper in BF3

[elder mango]

Extremely slow bullet velocity doesn’t equal realism

[fossil trench]

There’s darts, buckshot, birdshot, slugs and some others in real life

[bleak nebula]

hope they don't base vehicle gameplay off V tho 🤔

[elder mango]

Why though?

I get it’s realistic but like it wouldn’t be all that fun

[fossil trench]

Imagine birdshot in a BF game 🤣

[azure vessel]

why would bullets go anywhere else than where the barrel is pointing?

[fossil trench]

It’s like that small gun in BF1

[spark acorn]

Kolibri?

[fossil trench]

Yeah

[fringe pine]

Can’t wait to be a modern solider and gun down a few ww2 Germans

[tiny wharf]

Kolibri vs Mares Leg

Needs to be thing

[fringe pine]

Can you imagine how unfair it’s going to be I love it

[fossil trench]

We all know why BF4 isn’t in BF Portal

China

[hybrid steppe]

Wehraboos can finally place their precious Tigers against modern Abrams tanks and "prove" it's better.

[slim quiver]

Thats probably not why

[fossil trench]

Idk man, could be

[azure vessel]

probably because it’s almost the same as bf3

[mortal raft]

Too new maybe

[elder mango]

Probably because it’s very similar to bf3

[bleak nebula]

probably can edit the gamemode so ww2 planes stand a chance of fighting jets

[fossil trench]

Ah good point

[fringe pine]

I think my favourite mode will be the vip one if someone recreates it

[slim quiver]

No it’s mainly because classic BF is not a BF that was 8 years ago

[mortal raft]

They mostly remake maps from games with small playerbases

[elder mango]

It’ll probably come in later seasons anyway

[tiny wharf]

But BF4 had a much larger focus on vehicle orientated gameplay

[mortal raft]

BF4 still has many players and so doesn't need the remakes as badly

[slim quiver]

They’re targeting games that aren’t really playable now

[arctic grove]

The portal thing looks dumb

[bleak nebula]

portal looks good

[fossil trench]

Why does it need to be classic BF games? Why not something from BF1, etc?

[hybrid steppe]

you look dumb

[fringe pine]

And they’ll add the others later down the line since there still playable there isn’t much urgency needed

[spark acorn]

^

[mortal raft]

It looks incredible and is probably the best thing to happen to Battlefield in ages.

[sullen cairn]

opinion discarded

[still vault]

I'm looking forward to conquest but where people just get assigned semi-random loadouts and vehicles. No more sweating players just doing 1 thing.

[desert ridge]

I remember they mentioned the player speed can be tweaked and frag round shotguns are also in the game

In portal

[slim quiver]

Because the advertisement for the game was a love letter to long time BF fans. Why would they add BF1, a game I can still play in its entirety with thousands of players

[fossil trench]

This is a good point actually

[errant cobalt]

Time To Float

[bleak nebula]

oh that sounds fun

[fossil trench]

You can’t play any of the BF Portal games on last gen or current gen

Good point

[mortal raft]

Because you can just play BF1 instead.
Still has many players and graphics hold up.

[hybrid steppe]

It would be cool to do like a survival PVE mode, 1 squad vs 64 AI soldiers, no respawns.

[fringe pine]

I agree I think they’re working on it but since it’s still big they don’t need to rush and it doesn’t need to come first

[sullen cairn]

every season 2 new portal maps will be coming

[fossil trench]

I guess? BF Portal just sounds like the ultimate sandbox experience for everything Battlefield, at least potentially.

[sullen cairn]

so we can guess they will slowly add other battlefields to the portal

[slim quiver]

BF1 should not even be considered until BF Vietnam and BF 2142 get into the portal. Even BF2

[mortal raft]

Still hope for a bit of BF1 content eventually.
Imagine WW1 soldiers and equipment vs modern stuff.

[still vault]

No more people that just snipe or tank camp the entire match. Sounds fun to me 🙂

[hybrid steppe]

I hope they eventually add Ziba Tower, the chaos that could be made on that map.

[sullen cairn]

landship time

[arctic grove]

It’d be amazing if portal evolved a bit like MCC where they add more titles to it, but yeah what they have now is giving people with nostalgia another reason to buy 2042

[sullen cairn]

imagine adding the behemoths from bf 1

[fringe pine]

That’d be a blast but I would prefer 4 v 124 no respawns but the other side are ww2 soliders

[random pumice]

If we aren’t able to pit zeppelins vs Titans imma be disappointed

[mortal raft]

Could just add the massive vehicles from BF1942

[hybrid steppe]

Airship with 1000% health vs jets and attack helis

[mortal raft]

Imagine submarines

[sullen cairn]

we gotta add destroyers

[bleak nebula]

wonder if you can randomly force people into vehicles too for maximum mayhem , everyone learning new stuff

[fossil trench]

Imagine MP18 in BF2042

[fringe pine]

That’d be a slaughter

[sullen cairn]

portal also gives the opportunity to practice

[fossil trench]

Ngl I really like the MP18

[sullen cairn]

while also giving you XP

[slim quiver]

Funny enough I don’t care that much for the portal though in terms of custom games. I’ll just play rush or something the majority of the time.

[hybrid steppe]

True, although I'm pretty sure 64 would be the max per team.

[fossil trench]

Probably the best gun in BF1

Imo

[narrow quest]

Oh loom

K

[mortal raft]

Nah, you can play with 128 players

[narrow quest]

People babyraging about portal

[bleak nebula]

you could play infantry only big conquest (plus transport)

[fringe pine]

Nah you can change it round so it’s like 80 v 48

Or something

[hybrid steppe]

Yes, in total, but 64 players on one team.

[slim quiver]

I don’t like infantry only conquest as much because the entire map is unlocked

[fossil trench]

I’m just trying to imagine all the crazy shit people will come up with

[mortal raft]

Oh, yeah, probably

[still vault]

Ye that was my thought at least 🙂
I would also like if I could add BFV buildable defenses to the game (but I assume this is not possible), then I could add to conquest that when you take a base then as a reward all the defensive structures gets built/rebuilt.

[lost arrow]

same xD i have so many ideas to do with portal

[elder mango]

From what influencers have said who have seen the mode first hand, the max amount of total players is 128 and you can disperse them between 2 teams anyway you want, including 1 v 127

[fringe pine]

I really want to commit war Crimes by gunning down a bunch of ww2 soldiers with an m249

[lost arrow]

thats awesome

[fossil trench]

1 bullet kills, no revives

Ultimate realism

[lost arrow]

1 Tuktuk vs 127 Player with no guns

[arctic grove]

Just remember not to trust influencers too much haha. From the few youtube vids I’ve seen from people who had an early look at Portal they don’t really know how the logic editor really works

[elder mango]

One in the chamber

[sullen cairn]

last night we were guessing hazard zone is going to be like R6 with high stakes and the objective

[fossil trench]

God I hope not

I want a Tarkov-like gamemode

[hybrid steppe]

I do hope that but I wouldn't be surprised if players per team limit is capped at 64.

[arctic grove]

How’d you mean exactly with it being like R6?

[sullen cairn]

it would be so cool tho,

[sullen cairn]

5v5, high stakes, retrieve an object

y'know

[fossil trench]

I think like CSGO

[elder mango]

I don’t think that quite qualifies as ‘pushing brs a way only battlefield can’

[arctic grove]

Yeah I get mixed up with who says what but I think they’ve mentioned how it’s related in some way to battle royale

[elder mango]

It’ll be bigger than 5 v 5 I’m almost certain

[arctic grove]

Which makes the tarkov like experience seem more likely

Multiple squads with one life fighting over an objective perhaps rather than 5v5

[sullen cairn]

they said it was squad based and high stakes

for hazard zone

[elder mango]

It could be like 50 squads tho

[next onyx]

Just watched jackfrags video on battlefield portal, Glad some of my questions were answered.

[fossil trench]

I hope DICE has common sense and realizes the BR market is too crowded

[elder mango]

Squad based doesn’t mean small

[sullen cairn]

after firestorm i doubt they're doing a BR

[fossil trench]

Yeah me too

[arctic grove]

But they certainly want to capture some of that BR playerbase

[still vault]

I believe they have clearly realized that by what they have announced, besides, they are already on the BR market heavily with Apex now so no reason to compete with yourself.

[fossil trench]

Isn’t DICE LA working solely on Hazard Zone?

[sullen cairn]

no, portal

[fossil trench]

Ohhh

[sullen cairn]

aka ripple effect

is working solely on portal

[fossil trench]

Yeah that’s ripple effect

Not DICE LA

[elder mango]

Ripple effect is dice la

[hybrid steppe]

Ripple Effect IS Dice LA

They rebranded

[fossil trench]

They did?

[sullen cairn]

DICE is doing normal multiplayer and best bet hazard zone

unless they brought another team in

[fossil trench]

Ah okay nevermind then

Which studio is doing Hazard Zone then?

[arctic grove]

I know EA already have Apex but considering Battlefield is like the perfect blueprint for a battle royale style game I can totally see them competing with themselves to try and cement bf as a huge game with something very similar

[sullen cairn]

DICE is the best bet

[elder mango]

Actually maybe repsawn are working on hazard zone

[mortal raft]

Hazard Zone is made by the studio that made Firestorm, isn't it?

[next onyx]

Criterion?

[green breach]

Portal is cool just missing the map maker.

[next onyx]

Not sure

[hybrid steppe]

What's Criterion's part though?

[sullen cairn]

[fossil trench]

Exactly

[mortal raft]

Yeah

[green breach]

Criterion probably doing a other BR.

[sullen cairn]

may come later who knows

[mortal raft]

I understood they make Hazard Zone, might be wrong

[fossil trench]

I keep hearing how ambitious Hazard Zone is from devs

Trying to guess what it is

[mortal raft]

After the Portal announcement I honestly don't care much for Hazard Zone, but still curious

Maybe it will change my mind

[green breach]

A cross between BR and Escape from Tarkav

Maby

[fossil trench]

Hazard Zone does sound like a BR though ngl

[sullen cairn]

hazard zone wont be a BR

[hybrid steppe]

Hazard Zone is apparently going to be this game's story, where each update will progress a continuing narrative

[drifting geode]

I personally think there will be BR in Battlefield 2042. Not now but maybe later or even a year after release..

[fossil trench]

Yes I know

[sullen cairn]

if its just on an aircraft carrier

[mortal raft]

Possibly similar enough to basically be BR

[fossil trench]

Is that true?

[mortal raft]

Tom Henderson said so

[hybrid steppe]

That's what latest leaks say.

[sullen cairn]

https://www.dualshockers.com/battlefield-2042-hazard-zone/

[mortal raft]

He got some things correct, but others not

[fossil trench]

What? From Tom?

Lmao

[mortal raft]

He said Portal will have Metro and Siege

[fossil trench]

Yeah he doesn’t know shit lmao

[hybrid steppe]

The dude has been mostly correct so far, stop trying to discredit him.

[arctic grove]

Rumor is that Hazard Zone will be kinda like Tarkov and Hunt Showdown if you know those games. But then again we wont find out till much later.

[mortal raft]

But then again he predicted Portal correctly for the most part

[fossil trench]

He was wrong about everything

[arctic grove]

They’re surely going to do something that is marketed to appeal to BR fans, even if it’s not strictly BR. I’m finding them stale as fuck now but people don’t seem to realise there are millions of people playing them daily and a piece of that pie would be great for dice

[hybrid steppe]

lol

[mortal raft]

Nah, he got so much right.
Way too much for it to just be guesses

[fossil trench]

He was wrong about the reveal trailer, Portal maps

[elder mango]

By rumour you mean jackfrags said that in one video and everyone is running with it

[fossil trench]

Old maps returning is a given mate

[mortal raft]

Definitely not

[green breach]

Ya it's a given since that portal reveal

[mortal raft]

Also he said much more than that

[hybrid steppe]

Yeah but he was still correct about 2042 as a whole and the whole Portal mode

[arctic grove]

The tarkov rumour has been around since like day 1 of the 2042 reveal I think, and it was more of a guess than a leak

[still vault]

Hmm, need something to play until beta in September. Thinking replaying Metro Exodus with RTX or Doom Eternal.

[arctic grove]

Metro Exodus is a great game

[mortal raft]

He pretty much got Portal completely correctly apart from what maps it will have.

[green breach]

Wondering if 1942 maps are from the original game or forgotten hope style which was way better

[still vault]

I will just be thinking of the beta the whole time ...

[mortal raft]

Both really good games

[fossil trench]

No he wasn’t. He provided the test trailer for BF2042 and is now a self proclaimed insider

It’s so ridiculous

[sullen cairn]

august is gonna be so slow

[fossil trench]

All he does is guess

[arctic grove]

Hoping portal can expand with new maps or perhaps even eras though I wouldn’t be surprised if this is all we get

[mortal raft]

The fact that he got that test trailer in the first place gives credibility though?

[arctic grove]

We are getting more maps

[mortal raft]

Bruh, what?

[arctic grove]

Well we’ll get more 2042 maps added to portal

Metro, Siege of Shangai are already confirmed.

[sullen cairn]

2 new multiplayer and 2 new portal maps every season

[still vault]

I kinda hope they don't make more maps, but instead give us a map editor 😮

[fossil trench]

Not really because he claimed it was the reveal trailer. He either lied or made it up.

[mortal raft]

He got WAY too much on point. He clearly got real information

[spark acorn]

Bro, we're getting a lot of maps per season after launch.

[green breach]

If they add in Omaha it better be the forgotten hope one.

[still vault]

But I also want new maps so..

[arctic grove]

they confirmed more throwback maps?

[hybrid steppe]

He never claimed to be an insider. An insider provides him with info. And the test trailer was on Orbital map.

[elder mango]

Yep

[arctic grove]

Yes mate

[mortal raft]

The trailer showed Orbital...

[spark acorn]

Orbital like map.

[mortal raft]

It's clearly real

[arctic grove]

Oh well then I’m happy lol. I thought they just referred to the additional 2042 maps being added to portal too

[hybrid steppe]

It literally is the early version of Orbital.

[next onyx]

Try Terraria and or mechwarrior 5!

They can last you a month each

If you fully go all the way

[elder mango]

2 new portal maps and 2042 maps each season

[arctic grove]

I guess I totally missed that

[spark acorn]

Oh.

[sullen cairn]

all 2042 maps are gonna be in portal as well

at launch

[mortal raft]

Are you guys implying he just animated a trailer all by himself and by coincidence got it extremely similar to actual game content?

[spark acorn]

Yeah all remastered maps with 2042 maps, that's a lot.

[arctic grove]

Yeah I meant like “for every new 2042 map added in the games life cycle that would also be playable in portal”

[still vault]

I completed the last boss in Terraria at one point, think they might have added more but not doing that again 😄

[next onyx]

One thing i hope is that they can make the remade maps part of the main playlist

[sullen cairn]

yes

[arctic grove]

But now I’m hearing I didn’t realise there’s also old school maps added so

[next onyx]

Yeah the journeys end update, Though it's just more in between lmao. I'm doing it on expert and its PAIN.

[hybrid steppe]

Don't forget that the test trailer literally used the same music as the gameplay reveal

[sullen cairn]

i wonder how many gigs bf 42 is gonna be

[deft storm]

When is the beta coming out?

[sullen cairn]

with portal

[sullen cairn]

September

[next onyx]

Apparently sometime in september

Wel

That's the latest they can go

[elder mango]

I can’t get past plantera on expert

[deft storm]

Ight thanks

[arctic grove]

Closed beta will probs get it late august

Based on how betas are these days an open beta like 3 weeks before release would be pretty standard

[next onyx]

Died on my first try cause i got cornered but beat her on the second go. It's just a lot of space that's needed unfort.

The Golem is scary

I intend on beating the Empress of light and using the soaring insignia

That looks to be so damn fun

[arctic grove]

Where did they say about additional throwback maps for portal btw. All I can see is that as content is added to the base game it’ll be playable in portal too

[sullen cairn]

finna get 100 hours play time on beta

[fossil trench]

I know what he showed. It’s not about that. It’s about his claim where he said that the trailer he showed was the reveal trailer. He lied. He has some source I believe, but most of his “leaks” are guesses based on what the community would like. It’s blatantly obvious because DICE keeps contradicting his claims.

[arctic grove]

It was released on twitter a while back

[fossil trench]

He’s not reliable

[arctic grove]

[fossil trench]

He’s wrong most of the time

[hybrid steppe]

Dude, just stop. Swallow your pride and admit defeat. He has been generally correct the whole time.

[mortal raft]

He isn't reliable obviously

[fossil trench]

He even contradicts himself

[mortal raft]

But he wasn't wrong most of the time

[hybrid steppe]

Of course not all info will be 1:1 correct

[mortal raft]

He was wrong some times and correct some times and clearly got real information and not just guesses

[fringe pine]

Bro it doesn’t matter who’s right just leave it because in the end we’ll all end up playing the same thing

[elder mango]

He wouldn’t have a high reputation for so long if he guessed everything

[arctic grove]

The stuff he posts are based on whatever source he has, but unlike the shitty “leakers” he at least does some due diligence first

Think he’s said to take stuff with a heavy grain of salt sometimes because people might be feeding him bullshit for a laugh

[fossil trench]

Obviously but it’s just annoying to see people blindly follow someone who obviously doesn’t know anything because he keeps getting things wrong

[hybrid steppe]

Except again, most of his info has been correct

[arctic grove]

If it were some rando youtuber who just posts every single thing they hear I’d agree

[mortal raft]

We aren't blindly following him though?
I specifically brought up that he got the maps wrong

[solar moss]

If they're gonna add Shanghai back they should at least make more buildings destructible or add more points of access to rooftops

[fringe pine]

Fair but aren’t we all wrong sometimes the point is he try’s he’s best to be right (considering he makes a fair bit of money when he is)

[mortal raft]

I'm just disagreeing that his leaks are just guesses

[hybrid steppe]

And who's to say those maps he mentioned will not be added later down the line with seasons?

[solar moss]

Every building on Shanghai should be destructible because it'll stop people playing that map in the most toxic way possible

[arctic grove]

He definitely has a history of being pretty accurate, going back years

[spark acorn]

Who is this?

[elder mango]

If they add that to portal I would love that

[fringe pine]

Your mum Lamo now I’m a cool kid

[spark acorn]

this guy.

[solar moss]

I am never touching Shanghai if they make it the way it currently is in BF4

[fossil trench]

He provided a test trailer (probably for investors) that was proven to be the false reveal trailer and now he’s considered an extremely credible leaker. Ugh. It’s frustrating

[hybrid steppe]

It still was a trailer for the game

[fringe pine]

Just a really early one

[mortal raft]

He also predicted gameplay elements and Portal

[fossil trench]

Believe whatever you want I guess. 🤷‍♂️

[solar moss]

Siege of Shanghai is in itself a good map but BF4 engine limitations preventing full map destruction limit it heavily and encourage rooftop camping

[spark acorn]

Sul, who is this?

[mortal raft]

Also the fact that he got this trailer clearly shows some real insider contacting him

[mortal raft]

You mean Tom Henderson?

[fringe pine]

I honestly don’t k le who their on about exactly but I think it’s Henderson

[arctic grove]

He’s been around a lot longer than the 2042 initial leaks

He didn’t just pop up to troll the bf community lol

[worn whale]

I FUCKING SEE YOU

[fossil trench]

The fact that he lied about it being the reveal trailer implies he didn’t actually know if it was

[hybrid steppe]

He has been a COD leaker for years now

[worn whale]

MY BELOVED

F 17

[spark acorn]

Alrighty, yep that's what I was asking.

[olive seal]

I must be the only person who doesn't like siege of shanghai

[hybrid steppe]

F18*

[mortal raft]

Lied? Maybe he was simply wrong?

[slim quiver]

Discussing leakers tbh has kind of just run it’s course. It’s a back and forth never ending discussion of “well he was right about this, so he’s credible” and then someone saying “he was wrong about this so he’s fake”

[fringe pine]

Nah it was funny he smashed his desk when he saw it was wrong

[fossil trench]

Why make the claim? He lied mate

[worn whale]

F18 is the 2 seater?

[fossil trench]

He didn’t know anything

[slim quiver]

As most leakers like tom and Jeff grubb have said “take this with a grain of salt”

[fossil trench]

He obviously lied

[worn whale]

oh nvm ur right

[slim quiver]

All leaks should be taken with grains of salt

[hybrid steppe]

F-17 was a prototype

[arctic grove]

All you can do is look at their track history, and he’s been a pretty credible source of leaks for years

[hybrid steppe]

when Hornet wasn't yet in production

[fringe pine]

The one on the far right is 🥵

[mortal raft]

I think the claim that it was the reveal trailer was a way less important part than having a real trailer in the first place? It's a minor detail

[worn whale]

[fossil trench]

I hate when people say that. It’s like “Here. Let me waste your time because I need ad revenue.”

[mortal raft]

Exactly

[fringe pine]

Cannot wait to fuck up a team with that

[hybrid steppe]

Middle is Hornet, right is Super Hornet, both have single seat and two seat variants

[slim quiver]

Henderson isn’t just some guy btw that just started leaking. He’s leaked call of duty games for years. It’s just his first time caring about battlefield

[mortal raft]

I don't take Tom Henderson's roadmap claim as a fact, but it's still interesting

[slim quiver]

I never take what he says 100%

[fossil trench]

Regardless, he guesses all the time and makes false claims

[arctic grove]

There’s plenty of people like that who just post random clickbait shit all day long

[slim quiver]

I only listen to official dev news

[arctic grove]

Henderson isn’t one of those

[fringe pine]

Well the first time never goes to plan since you can’t know who to trust

[slim quiver]

Exactly

All I can trust is developers

[fringe pine]

Nah that in and of its self is a false claim

[slim quiver]

But I DO read toms stuff because it is interesting to pair up

[arctic grove]

Can’t always trust the devs

[fringe pine]

He may not always be right but I use him and others to build a close picture

[fossil trench]

Okay then feel free to believe whatever you want 🤷‍♂️

[fringe pine]

Agreed

[fringe pine]

Any ideas what the most insane game mode will be I think helicopters vs tanks

[mortal raft]

In anyway, BF Portal in the best thing to happen to the franchise in a decade. Can we agree?

[hybrid steppe]

Yes

[fringe pine]

Yes

[fossil trench]

In Portal?

[arctic grove]

I totally get your sentiment is he hasn’t been 100% accurate so you think he’s been leading us all on a merry chase to collect his cash and make a name for himself. But if you looked at his actual track history beyond 2042 you’d see there’s a lot more to his leaks

[bronze storm]

Yes

[fringe pine]

Yes

[bronze storm]

Yes

[unkempt coral]

Sniper rifles vs 1 chopper

[next onyx]

Wish the internet was as simple as that man

[fringe pine]

Ha I’d love that

[fossil trench]

No reload infinite ammo rocket launcher matches

[next onyx]

Yes

[arctic grove]

The internet without drama wouldn’t be the internet

[next onyx]

True lmao

[slim quiver]

Yeah. Honestly it used to kind of be this way, but the recent E3 shows have had like the surprises leak early and more people now look at internet game leakers above everything else

[fringe pine]

Nah actually robot dogs vs a team with shotguns

[mortal raft]

With 128 players

[fossil trench]

Yeah haha

[unkempt coral]

Robo dogs vs EOD bots

[hybrid steppe]

1 robot dog vs 1 soldier, that one Black Mirror episode style

[arctic grove]

Soon as I saw there were leaks about the name portal a couple hours before the reveal I just switched off so I could have a genuine reaction

[hybrid steppe]

No hud

[fringe pine]

I think that’d be unfair Lamo

[next onyx]

I trust data miners more than leakers at this point

[slim quiver]

Data miners actually do post good stuff. It’s all evidence

[next onyx]

Temporoyal is cool

[spark acorn]

it's going to be made as a mode on portal tho

[fringe pine]

I think I’ll love portal

[tame token]

Think of the internet as high school all over again. Drama still doesn't end when you get out of high school for some reason.

[fossil trench]

I don’t know if EA would face liability if BF2042 bricks consoles and PCs because I kinda feel like it could

[next onyx]

And I hope he goes back to for 2042

[slim quiver]

The only time they’re wrong is if the dev scraps the actual feature

[unkempt coral]

Probably not evenly matched in numbers. Whichever is stronger can have less on their team

[fringe pine]

Ik but still but then again they also say it’s unfair which is funny to me that they understand that

[slim quiver]

I don’t think 2042 will brick consoles

[arctic grove]

The more recent cod games have had issues with bricking consoles. Blackout had horrendous issues, I think Cold War might’ve as well

[fringe pine]

Yeah

[slim quiver]

You know what’s funny though

[spark acorn]

Well they got the tank vs EOD mode lol, like EODs are definitely gonna get destroyed by the tank easily.

[fringe pine]

Ye……. We’ll see

[mortal raft]

Probably will just lag like crazy.
Hardware is usually very secure of being overstrained

[slim quiver]

You know skyrim at release bricked some consoles and yet that game still got voted game of the year

[fossil trench]

Infinite ammo rocket launchers on 128 player servers.

Could happen

[spark acorn]

damn, good shit back then haha

[unkempt coral]

Would require teamwork from the bots but I'm sure it's doable

[spark acorn]

definitely

[slim quiver]

Remember all the corrupted saves and freezing

[fossil trench]

Idk man New Worlds recently has been bricking 3090s lmao

[hybrid steppe]

I wonder how old gen consoles will handle Portal.

[arctic grove]

Bf3 corrupted save wiping my glorious classes

[unkempt coral]

Depends on the game mode

[slim quiver]

This is why I will always defend CP2077. Because Skyrim’s launch was just as bad in terms of crashing, corrupted files, bricking, freezing. Except Skyrim’s lasted 6 months on PS3 and still ended up winning GOTY

[unkempt coral]

Skyrim was Skyrim tho

[slim quiver]

But that isn’t really an excuse

[unkempt coral]

Kinda is

XD

[hybrid steppe]

It's still an awful practice

[fringe pine]

I don’t think they’ll have a chance

[arctic grove]

Honestly I don’t even remember anything about bricking consoles. Cyberpunk is genuinely a real mess of a game that didn’t live up to hyped expectations but also very very basic expectations

[slim quiver]

When we say “well it’s just bethesda” that’s just allowing someone a pass while we get angry at another person for doing it

[fossil trench]

CP2077’s horrible launch was never CDPR’s fault. It’s all the executives that make those decisions.

[slim quiver]

For me 2077 was a great launch

Because I personally didn’t have issues

[arctic grove]

It was playable for some but for others genuinely broken

[slim quiver]

But I was also on PC, the place they put the most attention to

[fossil trench]

You played on PC I’m guessing? @slim quiver

[slim quiver]

Yes

[hybrid steppe]

Just because you didn't have issues, doesn't remove the fact that the launch was a fucking train wreck disaster

[spark acorn]

What the heck, lucky.

[arctic grove]

Not just “oh it looks glitchy” game breaking bugs, pathing issues, crashes, optimisation that was abysmal etc

[spark acorn]

For consoles, yeah.

[slim quiver]

That’s why I said for me personally

[glacial ferry]

just a question can you play with the remade maps in the normal multiplayer

[lucid goblet]

E.O.D gang

[fringe pine]

No zzzy is saying it was bad but they didn’t have problems

[slim quiver]

It was bad generally, just not for me

[arctic grove]

Think it’s just that 2042 maps work in portal, not that portal maps work in 2042. But I’m not sure

[slim quiver]

BF4 also had a very rocky launch

[fringe pine]

Don’t think so although I don’t have the game

[slim quiver]

I just don’t think 2042 will have a rocky launch

[glacial ferry]

hmm

[slim quiver]

It does not seem like any of that will happen

[glacial ferry]

i dont know man its still dice

[arctic grove]

BF4 never actually shook off how terrible its launch was

[fossil trench]

Yeah that’s why you didn’t have problems. I played on base PS4. Try playing any game with constant pop-ins, map glitches, bugs with 20 FPS.

[glacial ferry]

you know ea

never preorder an ea game

[arctic grove]

As much as it’s fine now so many people left BF4 back in its prime it didn’t truly recover

[glacial ferry]

never

not even this one

[fringe pine]

Rip amen for you amazing that you lived truly a miracle

[glacial ferry]

i dont think its gonna be bad but it might just yknow

[slim quiver]

To be 100% honest I never expected CP2077 to work on a console from 2013. Much like I never expected BF4 to run on a console designed in 2006. It simply does not make sense to me from any technological standpoint

[tame token]

@glacial ferry Where do you get your reasoning for that assumption?

[hybrid steppe]

We'll have to wait and see. Even though I've played Battlefield actively since 2007, I'm not going to pre-order 2042. I'll never forget the experience of BF4 launch.

[arctic grove]

I totally get not expecting it to play flawlessly but purely the practice of selling a game on a system that can’t run it is beyond shitty

[fringe pine]

He can’t knwo no one can so it’s probably a guess

[slim quiver]

I’ve always gone under the notion of games that take 6-8 years to make and they are announced before a generation and release after the entire generation is over, I fully expect that release to require new hardware to run

[fossil trench]

Ngl it sounds pretty disingenuous when people say “CP2077 works for me”. The game was never made for last gen or even current gen but it was sold anyway.

[slim quiver]

The game was announced before the ps4 and Xbox one

[fossil trench]

Yeah I know @slim quiver

[slim quiver]

And released after that gen ended

[arctic grove]

If they release it on hardware that cannot run it, it doesn’t deserve to be sold there for profit

[slim quiver]

I had 0 expectations of it working on a previous gen

[fossil trench]

EXACTLY

[arctic grove]

The people who bought it have been defrauded

[tame token]

I say it's better to get the in-game season battle passes and pre-order now to support DICE and EA. They are doing a wonderful job as far as I can see with the Battlefield 2042 content they have provided to the public so far.

[arctic grove]

And 100% deserve the offer of a refund if the game cannot fulfil the promise of simply working

[slim quiver]

I don’t think it’s disingenuous, I think it just comes down to how you perceive video games and technology in general

I would never have an 8 year old pc and say “i definitely expect to run BF 2042”

[hybrid steppe]

The problem wit CP2077 is that they did the announcement teaser WAAAAY too early. They posted the teaser on 2013, at the height of their Witcher glory, so people hopped on the hype train based on those expectations.

[solar moss]

You really have to wonder what went wrong

How so much ended up being unfinished

[slim quiver]

BF announced their game what, a year before release? Imagine if they teased it 4 years ago

[arctic grove]

It’s very easy to think “ah well this is old hardware I can’t expect it to run” but for the person who has no idea about the game and sees it on a shelf for the ps4 they should never have to think “hmm I wonder if this product will actually work, I’ll have to take a gamble”

[spark acorn]

And crazy part is they only starting developing Cyberpunk after Witcher III.

[primal current]

i did the thing

[slim quiver]

When you build up hype for a title, you’re already expecting disappointment

[spark acorn]

hey zzz, btw isn't this a bf2042 chat.

[fossil trench]

CP2077 is a PC game. Selling it on consoles was never a good idea. It’s disingenuous when people defend the game when their opinion is their own experience only on PC

[arctic grove]

we really got off topic

[slim quiver]

You are correct. We slid off topic

I was more or less trying to correlate how I don’t think 2042 Will be bad

In terms of release

[spark acorn]

so yeah, enforce ur mod powers mate

[primal current]

lol

[arctic grove]

All I’ll say is if a product cannot actually run on something it’s being sold on, they should never be allowed to sell it there in the first place

[fossil trench]

Breaking your own rules. Tsk tsk tsk.

[primal current]

anyways yea i did the thing so if game flops then frick

[fossil trench]

I seriously doubt it will flip

[arctic grove]

Now we pray that the 2042 launch isn’t like BF4s

[fossil trench]

I’m sure there will be bugs but it definitely won’t be as bad as past BF games

[primal current]

hopefully

[slim quiver]

I don’t think it’s disingenuous. I just feel like some people trust tech more than others. I do not trust tech in the slightest

[fossil trench]

cough BF4 cough

[fringe pine]

Love the name

[slim quiver]

A lot of people are just concerned that 2042 is another generational gap BF

[fringe pine]

Your mum?

[primal current]

i got cp77, i didnt really participate in hype and got it a month or so after release

[slim quiver]

This is another BF game being released on 2 different gens

[primal current]

i thought it was decent

[fossil trench]

I hope BF2042 becomes a platform game like GTA V. Constantly evolving and improving for years.

[fringe pine]

I’m a cool kid now

[slim quiver]

Eh I really hope it doesn’t tbh

[primal current]

bloating

[slim quiver]

I don’t want 2042 to be the only BF game for 8 years

[fringe pine]

Yes very

[fossil trench]

GTAO isn’t bloated?

[fringe pine]

So portal will be play4free

[hybrid steppe]

What about the tracer dart?

[primal current]

yea, i just play with friends from time to time

still fun enough

[arctic grove]

Is it not from bc2?

[slim quiver]

GTAV has been going on for 8 years mainly because they broke it up with releasing RDR2. But GTAV has already grown stale for a while now. It wouldn’t be good for BF tbh

[fringe pine]

Hmmm? I’ve misunderstood can you explain

[slim quiver]

You don’t want a game like BF lasting 8 years

[fossil trench]

I definitely don’t think it should go on for 8 years lol

[primal current]

yea

[arctic grove]

GTA is basically its own genre at this point. BF live service would never end up like that

[slim quiver]

And I want a true next gen battlefield game. I want a BF game that doesn’t release on anything other than current Gen

[fringe pine]

Ahhhhh

[hybrid steppe]

Tracer is actually originally from BC2

[fringe pine]

Thanks

[fossil trench]

I just think BF2042 has a ton of potential to go on for few years constantly updating

[slim quiver]

This is accurate. Only because there’s 0 competitors with GTA

[fossil trench]

Not 8 years haha

[primal current]

4-5 at most i'd say

[hybrid steppe]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WClZ1MP4Ck

[slim quiver]

Oh absolutely. This game could easily survive 3-4 years

[azure crescent]

lmao

[primal current]

anyways speaking of gta

[slim quiver]

But after 3-4 years we would expect probably an announcement

[primal current]

r* please

[azure crescent]

Probably more too

[slim quiver]

BF is largely dictated by its theme

[fossil trench]

Yeah GTA is a monopoly on the genre lol

[desert tide]

god I'm excited for 2042

[arctic grove]

It’s one of the issues that’s plagued cod for years is the insistence of annual releases and basically getting rid of all the QoL improvements they make through the games life cycle every single time

[slim quiver]

If they could incorporate somehow with 2042’s theme changing after 3-4 years, then the game could live longer

[slim quiver]

This is why we don’t have 3 different developers making battlefield

[arctic grove]

Well we have like 6

[slim quiver]

On paper it sounds like a good idea to have 3 companies make the same title. But they don’t change any design schemes of the game so it’s boring

[fringe pine]

CP 2077 sorta came close to getting in but without a multiplayer and not being able to be played on most things got lost

[fossil trench]

This is one of the biggest reasons I don’t like COD. There’s a new COD game every year making the COD game last year redundant

[arctic grove]

I’m surprised they haven’t adopted keeping the old games around longer tbh

[slim quiver]

BF changes a lot of things about their game to make every title feel new, while retaining the core of the series

[arctic grove]

Activision are very traditional

Only getting rid of the playerbase splitting dlc maps with mw19

[slim quiver]

Cod usually had a specific structure and then follows That structure

[fossil trench]

That lawsuit is nailing Activision’s coffin for this year’s COD game

[slim quiver]

Oh probably not

They got sued for 2019 as well

And they won

[arctic grove]

Until it still outsells bf 5 to 1 lol

[fossil trench]

Along with BF2042 obviously

[fringe pine]

True they refuse to make new things I mean one of the few cod’s I enjoyed was mw 2019 because it felt new and then they pulled a fast one and I never got my money back on Cold War

[slim quiver]

Call of duty will always sell because they just have a fan base that is behind them 100% every title

BF does not share that sentiment

[fossil trench]

Ugh. Who knows? Where tf even is the next COD game? Going into August and still nothing

[slim quiver]

We have BF fans that only buy modern games and bf fans that only buy older war games

[arctic grove]

I genuinely enjoy mw19 and the new engine, Cold War was made in possibly the worst time for devs possible. The studio making it had to give up control to treyarch, covid happened, had to also weave it in with warzone

[fringe pine]

I like the old and new but do prefer the modern

[arctic grove]

It’s shocking the game even managed to get released

[slim quiver]

Im not a huge fan of modern tbh

[hybrid steppe]

The lawsuit stuff in this case likely affects only the Blizzard team though, so I think COD devs are fine but of course this will affect Activision Blizzard as a whole monetarily.

[slim quiver]

I like older war games when it comes to bf

With cod I tend to like either or, I can enjoy any theme

[sterile tide]

I have a meme can I dm anyone that can post photos here to post it?

[fossil trench]

Blizzard is pretty much synonymous with Activision because they are the ones actually responsible because they control everything

[slim quiver]

My problem with modern BF games is how they handle gadgets, spotting and explosives. There’s always too many broken explosives or gadgets that auto spot you and it just makes more simplistic technology like smoke grenades and stuff useless

[arctic grove]

Well the company is called Activision-Blizzard

[fossil trench]

Yeah

[fringe pine]

Yes “bfcentral is owned by a clown”

[arctic grove]

My fave memories have to be the dumb shit like bf3 mav flying to get on top of a building

Or rolling about with an eod bot doing mcoms

[hybrid steppe]

I'm more talking that the horrible things that have been happening, mostly center around Blizzard, not COD devs like Infinity ward and Treyarch.

[slim quiver]

The only thing I like about modern BF games is less people complain about historical accuracy or authenticity because they can’t argue the point

[arctic grove]

I’d say something about flying jets but I still can’t fly em

[fossil trench]

CODs infallibility is a myth. They can’t just release a broken game and expect it to do well

[arctic grove]

They’ve been doing exactly that for years

[fossil trench]

Not at all. COD games have definitely been good enough to sell

[lost ridge]

modern bfs offer more freedom

[slim quiver]

I mean Cold War was notoriously bad and empty at launch and it still sold more than even modern warfare I think at this point

[arctic grove]

I will say BO4 was a well deserved disaster, lowest sales in a very very long time, but mw19 hit it out of the park imo and managed to make cod trendy again

[fringe pine]

U see I think activision are the problem because when sledge hammer games were left to their own devices they made mw 2019 but when activison gets involved games like Cold War are made

[arctic grove]

BF has been similar for me, I just didn’t really care very much about bf1 or bf5 but now people are truly invested in 2042

[slim quiver]

Modern BFs May offer more freedom, but it’s usually freedom in gadgets and stuff like that. I mostly like the older games because I like being more reliant on a fire arm than secondary explosives, launchers and devices

[ivory frost]

i wonder whats the ea play exclusive content is for bf 2042

they mentioned it a couple of times in the ea play live

[fossil trench]

BF3 and BF4 have pretty much the same gadgets

[fringe pine]

I would say I like a mix of both like bf 4

[fossil trench]

Because of the setting ofc

[slim quiver]

I would imagine gun charms

[arctic grove]

Purely personal opinion but I much prefer the modern settings with recognisable guns, sights, tanks etc. But of course others want to be transported to a different world than the one they recognise

[slim quiver]

BF4 I hated the spotting

[fossil trench]

Probably worthless skins

[slim quiver]

Good lord I’ve never experienced a more annoying spotting system

[desert ridge]

Modern is the best era

[fringe pine]

That did suck

[slim quiver]

I remember just aiming at Doritos in the smoke and then holding down the trigger

[desert ridge]

Bf4 spotting is good

Despite the smoke issues i like it

[slim quiver]

The whole game had nothing to do with visibility

Because I could already see everyone

[arctic grove]

If you think Dorito aiming is bad you should try gunfight in mw19, half the game is just shooting at the red names

[slim quiver]

Oh Dw I remember MW2019

I don’t like spotting in video games in general tbh

It’s okay if it’s on a mini map

I just don’t want it on my screen

[fringe pine]

The most painful part are the camera grenades they are painful

[desert ridge]

Turn it off

[slim quiver]

I could turn it off, but then I’m at s disadvantage

Because others won’t turn it off

So I pretty much just have to deal with it

[desert ridge]

Play hardcore then

[somber goblet]

was carrier assault a good game mode?

[fringe pine]

Meh

[slim quiver]

Hardcore and BF never interested me tbh

I end up having to play a lot slower

[arctic grove]

It’s a bit like when they added the health bars above names in cod, it look gross but if you turn it off you’re not helping yourself

[steep spade]

Holy f*ck the New Battlefield video is amazing

[last schooner]

i loved hardcore bf4

[arctic grove]

ah I loved hardcore in old bf games

[slim quiver]

The only good thing about hardcore is you kill people fast

[fringe pine]

And how unrealistic the guns felt as well

[desert ridge]

What do you want to be able to vouzou every corner at full speed without being killed whilst the enemies having v low health?

[arctic grove]

Probably partially because I find the spread control pretty trash in bf lol but it’s nice to actually aim and shoot and kill a guy

[void gulch]

yeah and its 1 hit

[slim quiver]

Nope. I just want a fast paced BF experience without dumb spotting

It’s not a hard thing to ask for when the spotting in BF1 and V weren’t bad

[last schooner]

bf1 spotting i remember being kinda bad or is that just me

[slim quiver]

Because there wasn’t auto spotting gadgets that could pick up people like a motion sensor

[desert ridge]

It was kinda bad

[fringe pine]

There was one in v?

[last schooner]

V's ping system is nice

[slim quiver]

The range wasnt amazing though

[last schooner]

i wish you could spot planes like the og tho

[slim quiver]

And there wasn’t blips above everyone’s head

[arctic grove]

Kinda related but the tiny snippets of gameplay seem to show that people can’t hide in shadows easily, they’ll have those fully lit outlines to be able to see people more clearly which is nice

[slim quiver]

People just don’t like a spotting system in which they themselves have to spot

[fringe pine]

Hmmm I didn’t use it then although I didn’t exactly like the game so that could play a part

[arctic grove]

Visibility in an fps can be a real bitch of an issue

[slim quiver]

They just want a spotting system where a drone can outline an entire area

Which is kind of lazy imo

BF2 had UAV commander abilities but you weren’t seeing blips above peoples heads

You just had to use a mini map

[last schooner]

yeah i could live with that

[arctic grove]

What if they changed the system for squad spotting

[slim quiver]

That would be fine

[desert ridge]

If there is ever going to be dorito spotting or something similar its with 2042 with how modern it is stuff like that would make sense

[slim quiver]

That’s the reason why I don’t like modern

[chrome current]

No maps, new conquest standard

[desert ridge]

Modern is elite

[arctic grove]

I’m still not really a fan of the hud in this game in general

[slim quiver]

It’s not even modern at that point

[wet spire]

so whats with this battlefield portal

[fringe pine]

It seems clunky to me

[slim quiver]

If I see a billion blips on my screen it’s just a terminator UI

[wet spire]

i saw the trailer but no clue

[desert ridge]

I hope they add the option to change the colour of the hud and crosshair and so on

[solemn solstice]

@wet spire Community driven lobbies

ig

[wet spire]

means?

[chrome current]

The game looks kinda grainy and not that much an improvement over 4's graphics after 6-7 years

[arctic grove]

I remember thinking the bf3 hud looked so next gen haha

[desert ridge]

Its console gameplay

[solemn solstice]

Basically you can create custom mode and minigames

etc.

[wet spire]

whoa thats nice

does it have AI?

[solemn solstice]

ye

[arctic grove]

You can add bots yeah

[wet spire]

noice too bad my pc cant play it

[arctic grove]

Think of it like a collection of nostalgic bf content that can all mesh together on one map with custom game rules

[fringe pine]

Bf 2042’s hashtag is trending over the Olympics one

[jaunty arrow]

Good

[somber goblet]

lol

[last schooner]

or customize for only bf3 content and boom you have a little mini remastered bf3

[fringe pine]

Loving the profile pic

[jaunty arrow]

Im so glad that they added BC2 for portal

[drowsy musk]

Same here

[desert ridge]

Thanks

[drowsy musk]

That mode is gonna go crazy

[arctic grove]

you program the mode right

so portal, hazard zone, and regular are the 3 modes

[spark acorn]

yes

[solemn solstice]

ye

[topaz hazel]

Damn I forgot we are going to get hazard zone

[arctic grove]

i thought there would be more but portal is cool

[topaz hazel]

This game is gonna be a banger

[arctic grove]

i wish hazard zone was free

[spark acorn]

indeed sensei penguin

Can play classic maps with normal settings?

[halcyon sable]

its not?

[arctic grove]

It very well might be

[arctic grove]

it is?

[solemn solstice]

pretty sure someone will make lobby with classic maps with vanilla settings

[arctic grove]

i wish you could make maps

[halcyon sable]

it comes with the base game, ergo its free

[arctic grove]

no like free seperately

But hazard zone may be f2p like warzone is to cod

[sullen cairn]

that would be kinda cool

but would get tons

of hackers

[arctic grove]

are they working on an anti cheat?

Yeah well it relies on decent anti cheat

if they arent then game is sad

[halcyon sable]

oh yeah the leaks said its gonna be afree to play mode, yeah

[topaz hazel]

Why would they not make an anti-cheat

[sullen cairn]

rlly?

[topaz hazel]

The game is so close to perfection

[solemn solstice]

anyone know the difference on Early game access(From gold edition) and Open Beta (For both standard and gold)?

Just wondering

[halcyon sable]

https://gamingintel.com/battlefield-2042-hazard-zone-free-to-play-leaked-details/

Its just leaks

but possibly

[sullen cairn]

you get to play it before October 22nd

[arctic grove]

Yeah if there’s essentially zero anti cheat and the game is full of hackers people won’t play it, it makes perfect sense to invest in it

[arctic grove]

its half perfectioon without an anti cheat

dice is not activision

[sullen cairn]

gold edition opens on like October 15th

[arctic grove]

they are probably working on it

[solemn solstice]

i see

[halcyon sable]

no bf ever had anti cheat, afaik... but they hired a team to develop one for this game afaik 2

[arctic grove]

There is definitely going to be a form of anti cheat, but no idea if it’s in house

[arctic grove]

yay

[sullen cairn]

i just got the base version

[arctic grove]

No mp game doesn’t have anti cheat

[topaz hazel]

If they deliver what promised, have good anti-cheat, and works on average specs this game will be good

[sullen cairn]

not rlly into season cosmetics

[gloomy light]

HOWS BAT0TLEFIELD 2042 PORTAL?

[arctic grove]

cod

[arctic grove]

good

It has one, it’s just shit

[arctic grove]

yes

[gloomy light]

MONKE3

[tawdry shadow]

Which edition is worth to buy?

[sullen cairn]

gold or base

[solemn solstice]

Gold ig

[arctic grove]

343 said they are working on one for infinite

[sullen cairn]

gold if you want all 4 seasons

[fossil trench]

Gold

[sullen cairn]

but its just cosmetics

[arctic grove]

make character intimidating

[fossil trench]

I’m considering buying ultimate just to support the game

[solemn solstice]

I want gold just for ss pass and 4 specialists

[fossil trench]

I’m really hyped

[sullen cairn]

you get the 4 specialists I believe for free

[solemn solstice]

ye

[sullen cairn]

it isnt like bf 1

with the premium pass

and stuff

[craggy hedge]

Right after I watched Portal and read about it

[gloomy light]

https://tenor.com/view/monkiflip-monki-flip-monkey-monkeyflip-gif-18149687

[sullen cairn]

all the content is free

[craggy hedge]

bought the ultimate

[solemn solstice]

Saving up rn

[arctic grove]

Anything game changing is free for everyone

[sullen cairn]

ye

which is good

[plush swallow]

Will Portal be for free?

[arctic grove]

New guns, new maps, new operators

[sullen cairn]

i dont want to pay for maps and weapons

[sullen cairn]

comes with game

[solemn solstice]

no

It's a gamemode in 2042

so ye like Fox said it comes with the main game

[plush swallow]

I know but should We Buy portal after buying the game

[arctic grove]

Hazard zone may be free but the beauty of warzone was that people bought mw, and then they announced a f2p mode

[sullen cairn]

no its included

[plush swallow]

Ok

[still vault]

I believe everyone can design the gamemodes using Portal but to play them you need 2042

[arctic grove]

If they say hazard zone is free people might avoid buying the base game

[fringe pine]

Yes and no the ability to play it is not but to make game mods is

[sullen cairn]

who would avoid portal

[arctic grove]

**wait portal will be free seriously?

[fringe pine]

No

[patent turtle]

Can’t wait to make the most cursed things in portal

[fringe pine]

But a part will

[arctic grove]

what part??

[versed gate]

I dont think theyd avoid the base game with all it has to offer

[arctic grove]

Basically you don’t need a license for the game to create game modes

Since it’s not done within the game itself

[fringe pine]

The ability to make game mods like e.g 1 tank v 100 eods

[patent turtle]

Ability to create things, you need the game to play it tho

[arctic grove]

But making game modes is like a block building code gui

[arctic grove]

oh so if i get the game, i can play portal for free???

[solemn solstice]

I just only scared of hackers problem

[sullen cairn]

yes

[solemn solstice]

128 players lobby

like man

[sullen cairn]

all 3 game modes come with the game

[fringe pine]

Well if you pay for the game it isn’t…free

[fossil trench]

I hope xp boosters won’t all be paywalled

[arctic grove]

do i need xbox live gold

[versed gate]

probably

[plush swallow]

And what about that coding they showed on ea play

[sullen cairn]

prob

[fringe pine]

Love the name

[sullen cairn]

hope they can be earned from crates or smth

or ranking up

[fossil trench]

Yeah I hope

[sullen cairn]

EA is gonna EA tho

[versed gate]

we had battle crates in the past

even in bf4

[arctic grove]

wait can i get portals and hazard zone sepereae

seperate*

[sullen cairn]

no

its all in the game

[arctic grove]

bruh

I’m sure there will be quick ranking methods with custom modes. The most blatant would have xp rates reduced but if someone reallllly wants xp I’m sure there’s gonna be a cheese method

so i need xbox live gold to play all of them

[fringe pine]

I hope the crates are not payed for but earned if they are in it

[arctic grove]

You’ll need gold just like every other mp game that isn’t f2p

[round thicket]

in the month of August there will be some other event for battlefield 2042 or in any case some news for example for the hazard zone

[sullen cairn]

you need xbox live for any online game

[arctic grove]

oh i thought hazard zone was going to be free and seperate

[blissful socket]

wait what bf2042 will be cross era?

[arctic grove]

It might be

[sullen cairn]

might

dunno

[fringe pine]

Hoping there’s a Halloween mode

At some point like zombies

[arctic grove]

If it is f2p maybe you won’t need gold for it but we don’t know

[plush swallow]

I can't wait for infected gameMode lol

[fringe pine]

Could you imagine hiding away while 127 players are hunting you

[plush swallow]

Imagine 100 ww2 Germans chasing you with their knifes

[arctic grove]

Stroheim for WW2 Germany specialist when?

[sullen cairn]

HANS GET ZE PANZERKAMPFWAGON

[still vault]

This Discord has something even better

[fringe pine]

It’s going to be a blast

[prime tapir]

I was lied to

[solemn solstice]

I only need

system req

[fringe pine]

If I don’t see battle penguins I’m not getting this game

[plush swallow]

Lol same

[next onyx]

What site?

Cause the main beta will be open

For everyone

[sullen cairn]

tru

[next onyx]

It makes no sense to make it closed

[arctic grove]

Open beta is open, early access for pre orders, special editions open the full game early

[prime tapir]

https://www.earlygame.com/battlefield/how-to-join-apply-battlefield-2042-open-beta/

[arctic grove]

Job done

[arctic grove]

Ah yes, the Antartican armed forces

[sullen cairn]

imagine if the Type 2A from BF5 was in portal

[plush swallow]

Imagine the white medic from bf3 will still have the long neck glitch

[mortal raft]

It's an OPEN Beta. The whole point is that anyone can join

[fringe pine]

I think it’d be funny to see an army gunned down by a penguin

[still vault]

Why are you reading unoffical posts. The offical website has the information you need. When there's an open beta everyone can join, pre-ordering gives access to it a bit earlier.

[arctic grove]

In 2042, Antartica becomes the worlds biggest superpower and is capable of time travel

[fringe pine]

Lamo I need this

[arctic grove]

Everyone thought the chimpanzees would be the most intelligent animals, but the penguins beat them
