battlefield-2042

[plucky vessel]

damn

[old stream]

Elon Musk: And now this, I approve.

[plucky vessel]

but then if anything, disney is likely going to ruin battlefield

so i guess i might not want that

[worldly star]

thats why its battlefield portal

[plucky vessel]

maybe just a dead space and battlefield crossover

[old stream]

Wait, what? Why? What am I missing?

[worldly star]

itd be a skin or smth

[distant swallow]

Man, WTF? 👎💩

[plucky vessel]

nah, just a discussion about an ea portal, which is not true

just a dream

[worldly star]

sounds like a nightmare

[visual condor]

Would be neat if battlefield portal was like warzone and carried over to each game

[worldly star]

i think it will be

[sharp tartan]

Maybe I'll just make a nightclub, a stripclub on battlefield is like putting a hat on a hat

[deep heart]

but i hope hazard zone will be like EFT

[sharp tartan]

Isn't it just battle royale?

[deep heart]

hope not

[worldly star]

its not

[old stream]

I just hope EA doesn’t fuck it up lol.

Right now it’s way too good. I hope they don’t downgrade no shit.

[weak star]

Hey when is beta

Anybod know?

[sharp tartan]

Early September

[weak star]

Okay thank you

[old stream]

Do we need to Pre-Order?

Or is the beta free?

[visual condor]

Only for early access

[sharp tartan]

No but if you do you get an extra few days of the beta

[old stream]

Dayum. My wallet is calling me.

[weak star]

I need a squad.. For content of anybody want to team up 💪🏾

If*

Ima sniper.

[sharp tartan]

Gold looks like the best option rn, I'll probably get that one

[old stream]

I’ll go get Ultimate.

[sharp tartan]

Sick

[old stream]

I play on Xbox and that one would come handy for XB One and Series S.

Anyone know if that game will have Battle Royale?

[visual condor]

Also ea play gives a discount on the game

They said no battle royale

[sharp tartan]

Yeah I'm gonna get that before the game comes out

[old stream]

Oh man. Beautiful.

[sharp tartan]

Plus you get like 4 battle passes and 4 operators for free, that's a deal

[old stream]

Lol.

[tranquil turtle]

What if they said there would be a battle royale, but it turns out to be scavenger from bf3

[old stream]

That would be acceptable, I suppose.

[visual condor]

And if the bp is like other games then you will likely get enough game currency to buy another bp, but with 4 free passes you get so much more to spend on other shit

[worldly star]

the operators are free for everyone as they come out

[arctic grove]

Why do you want ultimate, you are paying 20 bucks for 1 skin

[worldly star]

you probably just get to skip the grind or smth with the year 1 pass

[worldly star]

its a pack with more stuff, not just a skin

[arctic grove]

Sorry, 1 dog skin, 1 weapon skin, 1 player skin

Still not a lot

For 20 bucks

[worldly star]

3x more than you said

[visual condor]

Probably like siege with early access for pass owners

For specialists

[arctic grove]

That's literally all you get

[worldly star]

no i dont think thats it

i honestly think they just let you skip the grind if you have the pass

[onyx oar]

specialist gonna cost 10 dollars a pop

[arctic grove]

They are free

[visual condor]

Idk it seems like specialists will be on the free tier track of the battle pass

[onyx oar]

I know but some people think they gonna cost money

for some reason

[arctic grove]

Btw, just looked it up, you only get the midnight ultimate bundle which includes the skins which I mentioned, that's the only thing you get extra in the ultimate unless you include the artbook and soundtrack which no one cares about and will be on youtube

[worldly star]

well i wanted the skin

[visual condor]

All black skins look kinda sick tbh

[worldly star]

and i dont have any other financial responsibilities so

i got ultimate

[onyx oar]

could be possible they put specialists on the paid bp and release them afterward to those who didnt have bp

[arctic grove]

That would be pay to win most likely, it'll be in the free battlepass if anything

[onyx oar]

yeah but DICE isn't talking about how it works which has me concerned

[low tapir]

My spouse and I will get use out of the digital soundtrack in Ultimate too, unless it hits Spotify right away.

[onyx oar]

I too believe it will be available to all players

but it wouldnt surprise me if they do a stoopid

[arctic grove]

That's exactly why I don't preorder until we get more info

[visual condor]

I think if anything they'll have it on free tier for everyone, instant unlock to pass owners, then everyone can unlock with a challenge after the season ends

[arctic grove]

^

[mortal raft]

They did say the paid Battlepass is cosmetics only

[visual condor]

I think cod does something similar with weapons locked to pass

[radiant prism]

Well that’s because Activision is shitty

[low tapir]

If there's another currency in game it could be done Siege style.

[arctic grove]

Honestly, I don't get the point of cosmetics in a first person shooter game, get one cool skin and use it, you only see your hands and arms

[onyx oar]

Like is said I dont believe they would put it on the paid unless they do a big stoopid

[mortal raft]

Others see you

[arctic grove]

So?

[radiant prism]

BFV didn’t have anything P2W, I’ll be shocked if 2042 goes back on that

[mortal raft]

In online I want to look cool

[low tapir]

If you don't like the cosmetics.. just don't buy them?

[arctic grove]

Honestly, no one cares about your skin except you in the online environment, I used to think this way

[worldly star]

lossless > spotify

[visual condor]

Thats why they increase how often you see yourself. More 3d animations etc. (Melee takedowns now for example)

[arctic grove]

Yep, that's what I am doing

[onyx oar]

irl you dont look at your clothes either 95% of the day but you still make a concious decicion on what you want to wear. at least most people do

[mortal raft]

I mean it's pretty much like wearing nice stuff in rl.
You mostly don't see it, but others do.

[arctic grove]

Life isn't a video game

[low tapir]

Very true. Can't wait to crank the new tunes.

[worldly star]

prove it

[low tapir]

Then good. No need to complain about them.

[onyx oar]

yeah but it's the idea of how you look to others that creates the appeal

[mortal raft]

Same concept pretty much though

[visual condor]

Also cod shows your character with skins in the lobby, same as apex and fortnite. Won't be surprised if battlefield does it now too

[mortal raft]

I like to look cool on the Battlefield. Don't have to see myself for that

[arctic grove]

"YoU DoNt ReSpAwN"

[onyx oar]

Same. I wanna look like a badass mf'er and have them know who I am on the battlefield

[mortal raft]

Hell, I'm even spending a lot of time in character creation for single-player fps RPGs and there is nobody that sees me

[arctic grove]

Not really, in life you buy clothes for yourself to look presentable, some people do it to look cool, but most don't. In life there is no "default skin", however in a video game, paying 40 bucks for 4 battlepasses (I'm guessing they are 10 bucks each) just to look cool in front of other people who honestly don't even notice what you are wearing is nothing in comparison

[low tapir]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say yes. Especially since we have seen some pictures of specialists and in the bunker of sorts in the beginning of the Portal trailer.

[timid flame]

i hope we can carry people out of the line of fire sucks they seem to have ditched character customization idk why they did that i enjoyed that

[arctic grove]

You don't pay real money for clothes in rpgs, most of the time.

[low tapir]

Default skin irl gets you arrested for indecent exposure.

[onyx oar]

I notice what other people wear

[worldly star]

prove it

nah im just playin

[arctic grove]

Most people aren't going to say "oh man he has a cool skin, that's so cool."

[worldly star]

id rather not find out

[arctic grove]

They'll see it and go

[distant plume]

You guys complaining about how others spend their own money?

[mortal raft]

I definitely pay attention to other people's appearance.

[onyx oar]

so?

[worldly star]

yes

[mortal raft]

Pretty much

[arctic grove]

Yep

[arctic grove]

yeah

[visual condor]

I honestly really had random players compliment my skin in apex several times this week

[onyx oar]

you guys have m,oney?

[timid flame]

im not idc in all honesty

[visual condor]

People do notice

[distant plume]

lol

[arctic grove]

you had people compliment your skin in apex?

[visual condor]

Like in the character select screen

[arctic grove]

i have been shit talked in csgo for having a 2€ skin

[onyx oar]

I mean you're right no one cares about skins and how they look. That's why no one buys skins in online game shops..........

[mortal raft]

I just like customization. Especially in online games.

[onyx oar]

cough cough

[visual condor]

Lmao i bought the bp in season 1 and I've been using the free coins since

[distant plume]

Yea me too

[worldly star]

no one cares for skins

they only make billions of dollars

[onyx oar]

Who here remembers trackmania skins?

you could create them yourself

sickest shit everv

[distant plume]

Thats neat

But thats also p easy to do with a vehicle

[arctic grove]

But how are you going to know people noticed however, there is no proximity chat, yeah someone out of the 1000s of people you play with may compliment it in chat may say something, my point is that buying skins with REAL money in an fps game (for fake clothing) doesn't make sense, especially as the default skins you get usually look good as well

But you do you

[onyx oar]

you wanted a pink car? you had it. anime girl on the side? you had it

[mortal raft]

In BFV I was annoyed how my starting skins looked and grinded a lot to unlock nice ones.
Now I'm satisfied and it just feels good, even if I only see it in the character selection

[arctic grove]

Hello guys.

[arctic grove]

Hello there

Obi wan say hello there.

General kenobi

[onyx oar]

bfV skins were kinda weird tbh

[arctic grove]

2D women

[arctic grove]

yes

[onyx oar]

on the one hand they looked good on the other hand totally out of place

[arctic grove]

BF5 character customization was something else...

you could make the weirdest shit ever

[nova idol]

Gold plated was actually pretty good

[visual condor]

I only every bought the s1 bp for apex and never buy skins or bps in other games. I can't speak for the players who do spend loads on skins but i doubt its for validation from others. The most i get out of my skins is just being satisfied with how my character looks. People find it enjoyable, others can't fathom the idea. It is what it is

[arctic grove]

weirdest shit

[onyx oar]

not a big fan of gold skins but bfV's was actually good

[arctic grove]

I'm laughs as shit

[mortal raft]

It had a lot of bad skins, but a few were cool

[onyx oar]

as laugh I'm shit

[arctic grove]

I'm shit as shit

[onyx oar]

live, shit, laugh, shit, die

[frozen adder]

Hello guys
Are there is native English speakers here?
I just finished my English final exam and i want to make sure of some answers

[arctic grove]

oh c word got censor

[arctic grove]

Oh ok, I wasn't really directing that towards you specifically, but I understand the value of skins, but my point earlier is especially in like modern warfare with 20 dollar skin bundles especially. Or paying hundreds of dollars on virtual clothing is something I don't understand. People can spend their money however they want, so I get that. Like you said, "it is what it is"

[arctic grove]

I'm native

Hmm, what exactly you from noob?

[solar moss]

Im an English scholar and my grammar is pretty good

[arctic grove]

I'm english is fine but I'm abit broken lol.

[onyx oar]

I can't read 🙂

[arctic grove]

my point is that buying skins with REAL money in an fps game (for fake clothing) doesn't make sense, especially as the default skins you get usually look good as well

It does make sense in multiple scenarios:

• The person really likes the skin and thinks it is worth their money.
• The person wants to stand out a bit from the crowd (only applicable when most people have the default skin in the game).
• The person does not like the default skin at all and would rather have anything else.
• The person wants to support the devs/company.
• The person is in some sort of clan/team that all want to use a certain uniform.

[royal trail]

[arctic grove]

Mhh the m416 from bf3 remastered

Erm you forgot Battlefield Bad company?

[rapid oracle]

Hope i can run this on a i7-5820K and a 3070

[arctic grove]

I understand that there may be reasons to do so, but it still doesn't make sense to me. That's my point.

No I didn't

Oh right assault rifle only have to use with grenade launchers.

[visual condor]

Yeah i definitely agree on that, skins alone are way too overpriced and I hate how that is but the battle pass is a pretty good deal if you have the self control to save the free currency. I just hate how every game has to have one now, all competing for your attention.

[somber hinge]

skins are pog

[arctic grove]

I am not sure what you mean by not making sense to you. Are you trying to say that you don't like paid skins in general?

The prototype from bbc2

I wish if megalodon should be in BF2042 easter eggs

Why?

[arctic grove]

Yes, I don't think that buying skins with real money makes financial sense.

[arctic grove]

You know about megalodon easter eggs around in BF series.

Yeah it's bf4

[arctic grove]

The only battlepass system I like is halo as it doesn't expire, otherwise the battle pass system is getting old imo

and BF1

I don't like bf1

BF1 is my favorite battlefield game

[arctic grove]

It makes as much sense as buying a movie ticket. It is entertainment. Entertainment is not meant to be a good investment from a purely financial viewpoint for the consumer. It is a good investment because you get enjoyment out of it.

[arctic grove]

You must be a teen or a kid then

[arctic grove]

i mean, 15 so yeah

[arctic grove]

bruh you must be older generation.

Bingo

[old stream]

First, it’s not English. It’s England.

[somber hinge]

stop buy things for enjoyment in life all that matters is work pay tax

[arctic grove]

I been play first battlefield called battlefield bad company and then battlefield heroes

then BFBC2

[arctic grove]

What about you? I started on bbc2

[arctic grove]

I was in bbc

not confused with news

I said BFBC

bri'ish news

Who say BBC?

It's BFBC

[arctic grove]

Even with the cons of battle passes, I still much prefer them to lootboxes. At least with the battle pass I know what I am getting (into).

@arctic grove you're not British

if anyone genuinely prefers lootboxes to battlepasses then they are mentally insane

Oh, anyways, I think I went off-topic again.

[arctic grove]

Who do you think I am?

I keep forgetting that this is #battlefield-2042 because people always discuss something else here. 😄

[somber hinge]

I'd take a battlepass over a lootbox system anyday

[arctic grove]

yeah we got offtopic alot in here

[visual condor]

Most games just have both and include loot boxes in the pass

[arctic grove]

You call that BBC refer to british news?

@arctic grove your English is not good

[worldly star]

say what you want about battle passes but at least it isnt like destiny 2

[visual condor]

Unless you change your region to that one with loot boxes banned

[arctic grove]

cause you think I'm immigrants?

[worldly star]

your english is fine dont listen to that loser

just tryna start things it seems

[arctic grove]

Okay

[arctic grove]

Good, now you starting to insult peoples to making fun of bad english or maybe broke english.

[arctic grove]

Sure, but there are some very notable examples of Battle Pass done right, like CoD. No lootboxes at all and the pass levels up with normal gameplay. I hate it when games do a BP and then the only way to advance it is to do some whack quests that go against the design of the game itself.

Ah damn, here I go with the off-topic again.

[regal warren]

there is more to europe than just the uk

[arctic grove]

@arctic grove not an insult

[rotund horizon]

[worldly star]

man me too

[arctic grove]

dang, rip.

[arctic grove]

Okay, just saying.

[worldly star]

cod was terrible

[visual condor]

I absolutely hate how siege does things. Mostly fluff tiers, seperate headgear and outfits that belong together, and packs with only one item

[arctic grove]

I have second language.

[worldly star]

it ranked you up based on time played

[arctic grove]

I totally don't like latest cod.

[worldly star]

not how good you did

[arctic grove]

cod cold war bad

I don't mind the COD MW cause I like the guns customisation and animation.

[mortal tide]

siege is focusing on abilities more than gunplay imo
the gunplay in siege is outdated

[arctic grove]

It's like tactical pose style

[peak fractal]

hm

[visual condor]

And they've run out of ideas for unique abilities. There's too many ops and yet the game keeps adding more

[astral grove]

yea

[arctic grove]

Ubisoft gonna be dying.

[astral grove]

yea siege wus great hit but it dieing

[mortal tide]

The abilites are unique because they are getting more and more ridiculous

[arctic grove]

It's might ran out of innovation

Rip english

[somber hinge]

the ubisoft way make a mediocre game and keep updating it for years to come but don't make the game any better

[astral grove]

yea

[visual condor]

I'm curious to try their new arena shooter XDefiant but based on initial reactions, people aren't too excited

[astral grove]

there is no chat cool down?

[somber hinge]

they're about to destroy ac anyway with live service

[arctic grove]

Yeah, I really think that it's getting really boring.

[somber hinge]

looks like ubisoft really is trying to kill off there games xd

[mortal tide]

It looks good
it would have looked better... If it wasn't a Tom Clancy's game

[arctic grove]

@astral grove because we are civilized

[astral grove]

yes

[arctic grove]

They did that for branding, look at hyperscape

[somber hinge]

ubisoft are getting worse every year tbh

they use to be decent

[arctic grove]

True

so does cod.

COD vanguard is not gonna be exist.

[mortal tide]

true that
hyperscape dead on arrival lol

[astral grove]

yea cold war is just like pouring water over yer head sweatin now so many toxic people

[visual condor]

Can't wait until the next hardbreach, or hologram, maybe even something that gives you health from a distance. How about a tracking ability! Exciting

[solar moss]

I won jedi fallen order but I didn't check my email

And now the code has expired

Lovely

[mortal tide]

How about all of the above lmfao

[solar moss]

I already had it but could've made some money off it nevermind

[astral grove]

u know wut the trick is for ho,ogram ladty im blancking on name u shoot her in the foot as she deployes it so she thinks she is using her drone but its her and she just kills herself

[visual condor]

All the above ×5

[mortal tide]

imo, tryhards in CoD have existed since the beginning of time
its just that Cold War's SBMM amplifies it so damn much that every game is like a million dollar tournament

[upbeat yarrow]

yea

[solar moss]

K was able to claim my fallen order code nvm

[mental delta]

I've just heard about a mw3 remaster this year lmao

Cod is so afraid of bf

[steady current]

i checked 2021 - 2022. Finally good gaming years incoming

my boredom and depression will go away

[torpid shuttle]

Good night everyone

[rotund horizon]

gn

[torpid shuttle]

!when

[arctic grove]

There’s always been people who sweat it out, it’s more that back in the day nobody really gave a shit about performance or min maxing your loadout, checking the patch notes for the -2 damage nerf with a certain barrel. Maybe it wasn’t always for the best but I enjoyed jumping on objectives to try and win no matter the cost but I probably fed ac130s to enemies a lot lmao

[steady current]

it was fun when i was 14yo

now i am like whatever

[arctic grove]

To be fair, in CoD -2 damage can mean one more shot to kill, which can make a big difference on slow firing weapons.

[mortal tide]

Now you have to sweat and use meta to just get kills imo

[steady current]

but i miss times when mu brain was doing 10000 calculations per second just to destroy other pro player 😄

[arctic grove]

Ngl it is very true that back when we were all kids everything was way more fun these days if I’m not winning I’m just honestly insanely bored

[hollow geyser]

Being a kid is kinda boring

Ngl

:/

[arctic grove]

I’m not saying that metas can’t exist, but nobody cared about them back then, the skill gap between the players mattered a hell of a lot more than the 100 millisecond TTK difference

[mortal tide]

Yea before, no one gave a shit about tryhards or meta, now though...

[upbeat yarrow]

I'd rather use a gun that's fun

[arctic grove]

It’s just the way that people approach gaming now 🤷‍♂️

[upbeat yarrow]

but my favorite gun has a ttk like 100 ms above others

oof

[upbeat yarrow]

facts people take it way too seriously now in general

[mortal tide]

people play like its their last

[upbeat yarrow]

yea

and like i get that some people want to play competitively

[arctic grove]

Used to play with shitty weapons, shitty attachments, on a tv with component instead of hdmi, but I didn’t ever even think to consider I should change any of it, the point was to have a laugh on game chat

[upbeat yarrow]

but games should have separate playlists

like r6 siege

[worldly star]

r6 siege is awful ngl

vote to kick in casual? please

who thought of that

you dont clutch a 5v1 bc your team sucked? guess youre getting kicked

[upbeat yarrow]

i mean true

[worldly star]

no game should take anything from siege

[upbeat yarrow]

i just meant the fact that they at least have separate playlists and stuff

[worldly star]

yeah maybe

[upbeat yarrow]

CW has it, but it's just meh

no incentive to play competitive, no real ranks to climb or anything

matchmaking makes no sense either

[worldly star]

i think we need to just make stats not matter at all

[upbeat yarrow]

how is it that cod mobile has a better competitive system than the triple A titles

[worldly star]

too many try hard neckbeards ruining games bc they want a decent kd

[deft fossil]

I mean for people like me that sweat it’s just not fun to “mess around” I just want to get high kills.

[worldly star]

like what are you pulling girls with that or smth? "yeah i have a 3kd in battlefield"

seriously

its lame

[deft fossil]

It’s fun idk what to tell you

[visual condor]

You just reminded me that they confirmed a battlefield mobile lol

[upbeat yarrow]

lol

[deft fossil]

I think staying in a vehicle a whole game is boring/lame asf

[upbeat yarrow]

well yea i want high kills too

its the way people will just play for kd

[wide shore]

“Got a 2.7 K/D in BFV BB.” - My tinder bio

[upbeat yarrow]

I'd rather go 89-100 instead of 20-3

[deft fossil]

I’m one of the people in bf4 who use the aek scar Famas etc it’s just fun

[somber nebula]

well i got the most kills with the aek but i switch weapons alot

i cba to grind the famas

getting the comp takes 140 kills

[deft fossil]

Flicking with the aek just feels so clean

[somber nebula]

yeah

[jaunty arrow]

They removed it

[somber nebula]

scar is broken on some maps like lumphini

[deft fossil]

Yeah scar is busted that’s why it’s banned in some servers still really fun to use

[mortal tide]

No one likes vehicle whores

[jaunty arrow]

I believe that there should be no skill based match making like CoD, they need to revert back to Halo 2 days where there was a casual and competitive

[torpid shuttle]

https://youtube.com/c/Doom49

Open to community tab (27/28 this month may has more info)

Well good night again.

[deft fossil]

That’s why I play rush on the apex server rush has less vehicles and they also banned bipods and flir

[prime grove]

wdym no sbmm like cod

[mortal tide]

I remember a guy in who was lvl 300+ using an M8 Greyhound and went 45-3

[upbeat yarrow]

jeez

[jaunty arrow]

Skill based match making encourages intentionally dropping your KD to fight against easier enemies, instead of just having a random amount of different skilled players

[deft fossil]

Imo rush > conquest

[prime grove]

cod has sbmm though

[jaunty arrow]

The last few CoD are notorious for having strong sbmm, which ultimately ruins the game

[prime grove]

yeah

[worldly star]

yeah if you suck

otherwise its not a huge deal

[prime grove]

well most games acc use a system that is based on recent performance instead of overall skill, but it's called sbmm

[jaunty arrow]

Have your never been in a CoD: MW match where a dude blows himself up with C4 42 times, just so he can fight against noobs in the next match? Because thats what happens with sbmm

[worldly star]

ive seen it

and i call them cowards everytime

its fun

[deft fossil]

wait isnt 2042 server based so sbmm is basically non existent since u can pick the server u want to play on idk

[prime grove]

bruh what

[jaunty arrow]

No?

[prime grove]

sbmm will still happen in all those servers

[upbeat yarrow]

how

u get

to choose

the server

and ur side

[deft fossil]

idk how sbmm works if we can pick the servers we want to play on

[worldly star]

team balancing based on skill

[prime grove]

but sbmm can be used with the people inside those servers

[deft fossil]

ohhh

[jaunty arrow]

I could see overall skill over your entire playtime influencing your automatic matches, but short term sbmm is bad

[deft fossil]

thats not that bad then tbh if its just team balancing

[worldly star]

i agree with this

[jaunty arrow]

Thank you

[worldly star]

it needs to be overall skill based not the short term stuff

not too strong though

i dont want to go against the same ppl every game

[mortal tide]

like you do good one game, SBMM puts you into MLG pro lobbies
That short term SBMM sucks

[jaunty arrow]

Exactly

[deft fossil]

if theres community servers sbmm is basically gone right?

[jaunty arrow]

Probably, but we’ll have to see

[upbeat yarrow]

team balancing good

sbmm bad

[jaunty arrow]

We would have to ask devs

[upbeat yarrow]

i want to play against a mix of players

[worldly star]

so far we only know of community servers in portal

[upbeat yarrow]

gives you the best opportunity of destroying and getting destroyed in the same match

[deft fossil]

im guessing thats were the best servers are gonna be at anyway official servers aint it for me

[proven torrent]

any ways since bf portal will definitely have server browser I don't think sbmm will affect us, i.e., if they do force us to go through sbmm for all out warfare we can always join vanilla servers...

[worldly star]

also NO DISBANDING LOBBIES PLS

i do not want to be put in a new server and forced to wait after every game

just switch up the teams to keep it fresh and call it good

[deft fossil]

honestly with bf portal i dont see how this wont be the best battlefield

[worldly star]

gunplay looks like its gonna be the best in the series tbh

also the sounds

gunfire sounds like gunfire

[mortal tide]

This is a prime example of "Don't Fuck It Up"

[arctic grove]

Animation looked weird

[mortal tide]

looks punchy, which i liked

[deft fossil]

not to mention u can literally change the movement gun damage basically mostly everything

[proven torrent]

yeah same thoughts... I was cringing when people complained that if portal has this it will be perfect... if they add bf4 it would have been perfect....
i mean its already way more than anyone would've expected...

[worldly star]

i actually got so excited when i saw and heard that thompson smg in the custom game modes trailer

[worldly star]

nah

animation looked fine

[mortal tide]

Portal is huge
And thats not even all

[deft fossil]

i hope they add it later on along with locker and metro

[worldly star]

i hope all the guns feel as great as that seemed to

[proven torrent]

yeah if they add more bf3 maps I don't think they can miss metro...

[deft fossil]

metro is the nuketown of this game

they should add propaganda too

[worldly star]

id like to see different recoil patterns for each gun

so that it takes real skill to do good with different guns

[proven torrent]

isnt' it already there.... i mean that's the main difference

[worldly star]

maybe this way little jimmy and his no recoil controller don't just auto win the game

[deft fossil]

oh yeahhh

[proven torrent]

and the rate of fire

[deft fossil]

admins can disable aim assist lmao

[worldly star]

no theyre all kinda the same

its just "gun goes slightly upward"

id like to see attachments that change the recoil patterns too

[deft fossil]

compensator gang

lmao

[upbeat yarrow]

tbh im curious how strong u can make aim assist

like can it be close to aim bot?

[worldly star]

if theres an an94 in this game its gonna be the sweat gun of choice

[deft fossil]

imagine if u can make it aimbot lmao

[worldly star]

nearly 0 recoil and a good rate of fire

[upbeat yarrow]

lmao

[deft fossil]

ok hear me out

camo challenges should be a thing

[arctic grove]

Ight

The first game they should add to portal after launch is bf1

Change my mind

[proven torrent]

just started playing first time last weekend and I noticed we could customize recoil direction for every gun... haven't tried it myself.. but seems they have done this in the past...

[deft fossil]

i dont play cod but i always liked camo challenges

[upbeat yarrow]

i like camo challenges just when they aren't complete bs

[worldly star]

oh i was talking about bfv

[upbeat yarrow]

getting longshot kills and mounted kills in MW just promotes camping

[worldly star]

that stuff is just not in bfv

[deft fossil]

like imma be honest i aint gonna use most of the guns in the game

[upbeat yarrow]

taking cover kills in CW just shows they know people camp smh

[deft fossil]

imma prob just use the strongest or the one that feels the best

[worldly star]

i feel like 2042 is the true bfv that we shouldve gotten sooner

[deft fossil]

i hope sniping feels crispy

[worldly star]

how you gonna call it bfv and then go back in time cmon

[alpine gazelle]

I hope they put the M24 from Bad Company 2 in portal that sniper was 👌🏼

[proven torrent]

oh... I don't see 2042 from bfv's perspecitive... it was the worst rendition of the game they put out in the decade and just hope that DICE learned from its mistakes and make 2042 from ground up without any bfv influence.... (they just changed so many things which were not broken in the first place.)

[deft fossil]

L115 👍

[wide shore]

According to JackFrags video, it is

[alpine gazelle]

Sweet

[worldly star]

nah the movement is based off bfv

uhhhh

[deft fossil]

m98b and gol magnum coming back too

[worldly star]

thats the only good thing to come out of bfv

[wide shore]

Don’t forget squad revive

[worldly star]

also they're improving the gunplay from bfv

[alpine gazelle]

Anyone else excited to have full auto m16 back😂

[worldly star]

that too

[proven torrent]

yeah movement is the only part i'll not mind inheriting from bfv... though I still like the fast movement of bf4

[bleak nebula]

yes

movement from bfv was best

[worldly star]

i hope the kill feedback is good in 2042

[upbeat yarrow]

I like BF4 tbh

[wide shore]

I’d be happy if they took nothing from BF4.

[upbeat yarrow]

BF4 feels like im zooming

[worldly star]

before bf1 kills felt boring

[proven torrent]

unpopular opinion here but i liked 3d spotting.... it was not perfect but could've been improved... the counter measures in bf1 were a bit in the right direction... but they nerfed it ever since...

[deft fossil]

the kill sound in bf1 tho

[wide shore]

That’s because the kill sound in BF1 is an eargasm

[deft fossil]

it is

[worldly star]

they need to make a new one that fits with 2042 though

[bleak nebula]

I be very happy if they took nothing from bfv except movement

[deft fossil]

imagine if they let us pick which one to use

bliss

[worldly star]

i know ppl are comparing this to bo4 already but a kill sound similar to that games would be great

[wide shore]

Thankfully they’re bringing back squad revive. Which is one of the best features BF added in a long time.

[bleak nebula]

oh squad revive was good too

[deft fossil]

defibs pog

[worldly star]

need 6 player squads

[bleak nebula]

revive trains were fun

need defibs

[worldly star]

bigger lobbies so it should be possible

[deft fossil]

reviving peoplw with 20 health lmao

[proven torrent]

they'll be on a whole new level with

[worldly star]

itd be 8 though since 8 goes into 64 better

[wide shore]

The Syrette pistol should make reviving a breeze.

[deft fossil]

i already know what server is gonna be fire

[proven torrent]

the worst thing that happens in locker/metro.... the worst mistake new players do

[deft fossil]

old class system no specialist all guns bf3 movement all maps rush

[bleak nebula]

revive sniping

[worldly star]

i cant wait to see what kinda crazy melee weapons they come up with

need a stun bat similar to the barbed wire bat in bf1

[wary egret]

Unpopular? I thought everyone loves 3D spotting

[bleak nebula]

nah people who liked battlefield V don't

[wide shore]

If I had a dollar for the amount of threads I seen about 3D spotting needing to go, I would be a millionaire.

[worldly star]

whats 3d spotting lol

[proven torrent]

most people like bfv kind of spotting but for me it's useless..... I never use voice comms and play alone (no friends ) so 3d spotting was the best way to communicate with the team...

[wide shore]

Doritos

[proven torrent]

TL;DR spam doritos

[worldly star]

ok ill google it since you are no help

[charred elk]

There were some good things in bf v man. It’s not total trash.

[proven torrent]

i'll explain

[wary egret]

The thing u have in bfh and previous games when u press q

Enemies will have an orange mark above their head

[proven torrent]

when you pressed q, a red dorito will show up on enemies head along with their position on mini map...

you could spam this in bf4

[worldly star]

oh that is in bfv with the scout class

[proven torrent]

though there was a cooldown in bf1

[worldly star]

it should definitely come back i think

[deft fossil]

idk if this a unpopular opinion but i didnt like bfv because of its setting coming from bf1 i was tired with the ww1-ww2 bs

[wary egret]

Y but everyone could be it all the time anywhere

[wide shore]

I have no qualms with 3D spotting either way. I didn’t miss it in BFV. But idc if it comes back. Makes no difference to me.

[wary egret]

It was perfect 😎

[south robin]

Is the beta out yet

[wise zodiac]

Spam doritos?!? why do you all have to make me so hungry.

[wary egret]

September

[bleak nebula]

it's actually a good game, I just don't like it as a battlefield game

[south robin]

It said 19 days 19 days ago

[worldly star]

i want a specialist that can give your nearby squad members like wall hacks or smth for like 20 seconds

[charred elk]

3D spotting could definitely be abused by snipers in bfbc2. You could headshot people far far away without even seeing them

[wary egret]

Well. No

[worldly star]

you can see enemies outlined through walls up to like 25m away or smth

[wide shore]

[worldly star]

as like a specialist ability

[wary egret]

Like bo4 basically

[worldly star]

enemies would know when theyre spotted

[wary egret]

Or lion in r6

Well the early lion

[wide shore]

Please no wallhacks.

[worldly star]

bo3 vision pulse but with really short range

[charred elk]

They have something like that in battlefront 2 so could see it in battlefield too

[proven torrent]

3d spotting with the cooldown and a restricting to a certain distance would be perfect for me... I wouldn't even mind if the doritos are gone... position on minimap would do

[worldly star]

i think spotting should do an outline around the enemy

[small pebble]

Dumb

[worldly star]

never liked the tiny icons

[arctic grove]

damn i just got sniped

[small pebble]

I'm sorry

[arctic grove]

can't wait for BF Portal

[small pebble]

But I don't want lion from siege again

[arctic grove]

remove all sniper rifles

😄

[small pebble]

It gives me nightmares

[worldly star]

sounds like a you problem

[charred elk]

Remove prone

[arctic grove]

prone is ok as long as bipod doesn't give you laser accuracy!

[proven torrent]

you can do that in bf

[charred elk]

BfbcW was literally the best bf for so many little reasons

2

[small pebble]

Sounds like a game balance issue

[arctic grove]

im playing bf3 now

the game feels so dated

[small pebble]

Snipers are fine

[arctic grove]

snipers aren't fine when they headglitch from across the map

[small pebble]

But can get annoying on certain maps

[vocal mica]

belly flop or slide?

[arctic grove]

they are basically unkillable

[proven torrent]

the logic editor if done right will be very OP...

[charred elk]

Bruh you can literally have bfbc2 rush exact same rules and everything

[arctic grove]

BF3 > any other BF game

[charred elk]

But with more players than was possible then

On ps3 bfbc2 was 24 players I think

[worldly star]

maybe it could like go away if the enemy moves or smth

[proven torrent]

thats the point of portal.... reality can be whatever we want (except for battle royale )

[worldly star]

itd be a good counter to campers

[charred elk]

You could potentially have battle royal with player agreement. If you can enable friendly fire for team but not for squad

[worldly star]

dont give me this "camping is a strategy bs" a counter for it would be good

[charred elk]

Remove option to prone, 90% of camping scenarios become redundant

[worldly star]

and itd be the specialists gadget or whatever so itd be balanced i think

[acoustic oar]

that will not happen ever

[proven torrent]

I wanted to say that they said BR cannot be created within portal... #battlefield-2042 message

[charred elk]

Bf bc2 already had it

So it has already happened

[acoustic oar]

ye but not in a main bf game

bc2 is a spin off

[proven torrent]

you can restrict movement in portal... they confirmed you can restrict prone, and also croutch ig... and yeah even restrict to hipfire, ie. no ADS

[acoustic oar]

it will not happen in a main bf game

[charred elk]

I know they said it’s because br needs not 2 teams but many whereas portal is geared around 2 teams. It would take them more work to enable the things needed for br

[worldly star]

what about a specialist that could take over enemy equipment?

and like disable a vehicles weapons for like 10s or so

giving you ample time to destroy it

[charred elk]

I like that in portal you can have a game set up exactly like it is in the main game, al out warfare, but have prone blocked

[proven torrent]

there are many squad based game modes in mainstream BF games... so its still possible like how the BF3 modders did... but I guess they do want people to be attracted more towards hazard zone than BR... hmm

[charred elk]

I don’t think I will ever play the main game if I can always find servers like this

[worldly star]

no one likes my ideas and thats ok

i think theyd work well if done right

[arctic grove]

That would be cool

[proven torrent]

hmm... such stuff happens on discord every time... doesn't really mean anything in particular tho..

[worldly star]

idk i just think theres lots they could do with this game

i dont want it to be stale

[proven torrent]

in you could selectively disable tank weapons...

[worldly star]

imagine if you could completely take over a tanks gun and fire at their own team from behind their front lines

itd have to be short like 5 seconds worth or so

[proven torrent]

hmm... while the driver is from the enemy team?... dunno how would that work

[worldly star]

actually id prefer the disable weapons thing

hijacking entire vehicles seems op

[proven torrent]

grand theft battlefield

[worldly star]

you hack a jet and run it into the side of a mountain or smth

thatd be sick ngl

[proven torrent]

that's some rendezook level shit

[worldly star]

maybe if the driver could fight it? like steer the opposite way and keep it going straight

obviously none of this stuff is gonna be real

so i cant go too wild and get anyones hopes up lmao

but man itd be cool if they implemented some of this stuff later down the line

[proven torrent]

okay in the community but when companies do this shit it gets disappointing... 'member cyberpunk and their marketing?

[worldly star]

yeah lol

[worldly star]

i thing the vehicle hacking thing could be balanced if you had to like shoot the vehicle with a special rocket or weapon

that way you cant just click a button and instantly gain control of a jet in the sky

youd have to aim and pray that they dont use flares or some other countermeasure that might be in the game

[true wasp]

bro this shit feels like its coming it 5 years

the wait is painful

[dense robin]

Just realized portal will actually allow players to quit crying about historical accuracy and let them make their own WW2 matches

[true wasp]

xd

[orchid shuttle]

Perfect

[knotty mountain]

Is there any information on the open beta?

[orchid shuttle]

Probably like august or something is a decent guess

[true wasp]

yea prob

[worldly star]

september

[true wasp]

but man october soooo far

[worldly star]

beta is in september and thats confirmed

[orchid shuttle]

September seems so far away

[proven torrent]

yeah September and confirmed

[plush bone]

Hey Im sorry if its not the place but,is there any BF4 veteran? I need help

[arctic grove]

^

[true wasp]

yea it feels really far

[orchid shuttle]

#battlefield-legacy-titles might help

[plush bone]

its inactive sadly

[orchid shuttle]

Yeetfe

Uh

[knotty mountain]

What you need

[worldly star]

dont know if anyone is gonna care about historical accuracy with this one lmao

its just old stuff mashed into one game

[orchid shuttle]

Yeah I want to see defibs vs germans

[plush bone]

I just need to know how people pick vehicles instantly i saw some streamers doing it

[proven torrent]

yeah?

[craggy marten]

Any minor updates on BF2042

[plush bone]

This

[proven torrent]

just spam click it from the deploy screen.. most spawn points have some vehicles.. just click their icons...

[orchid shuttle]

Anyway idk bout you guys but i think itd be cool to have another long bow style weapon kinda like the phantom bow.

[worldly star]

a crossbow would be cool

[orchid shuttle]

I just want to attach a 40x scope to a bow

[dense robin]

1 Tank vs. 20 EOD bots sounds unironically fun

[mortal tide]

why not? lol

[worldly star]

like a mag fed futuristic crossbow with like 5 bolts

so its not super slow to use

[mortal tide]

call it Mk II CB lol

[worldly star]

maybe some sort of auto chambering attachment would be cool too

[proven torrent]

with people can fuck their k/d ratios... it will all be about fun and PTFO

[orchid shuttle]

Idk I like the challenge of using the phantom bow

[worldly star]

so your character doesnt have to pull back the string everytime

[dense robin]

It's a shame 2042s file size is gonna probably gonna be way bigger than Warzones

[worldly star]

no

it wont be

[orchid shuttle]

I will delete all of my games on my pc to have 2042

[dense robin]

There's no way you can have so much content without the download being huge

[orchid shuttle]

Its got portal. Thats all I need

[dense robin]

Especially all those reused 4 and 5 assets

[safe cape]

warzone is just a bunch of unused assets

[proven torrent]

We had bf games with like 20-25 maps, shit tons of accessories/cosmetics and many different assets but still it never exceeded 100 GB.... I don't think 2042 will be a behemoth in size

[worldly star]

its called compression

and warzone has no compression lmao

[orchid shuttle]

I could see it being around that 70-100gb size but even then the amount of content portal brings is huge

[worldly star]

if bf2042 is the only game i can have installed so be it

[dense robin]

Is Portal gonna be like, a public multiplayer thing?

[orchid shuttle]

^

[dense robin]

Or is it restricted to private servers

With only friends and/or invited players allowed

[worldly star]

no you can make public servers

[orchid shuttle]

Id imagine you could do that if you wanted to

[worldly star]

we will probably see lots of bc2 and bc3 only servers

[orchid shuttle]

So. Technically speaking this is the bc2 remastered that everyone wanted? Along with bf3

Kinda

[dense robin]

I hope there's gonna be a special rotation of Portal modes

Like one week it could be tank vs EOD

Or the next "defibs vs defibs"

Something to constantly keep it fresh

[mortal tide]

Like a game of the day sort of thing? @dense robin

[proven torrent]

that's the point of portal... don't worry this will be there

[dense robin]

Yeah

Maybe not daily though

Or maybe 2 per day

[mortal tide]

maybe game of the week

[proven torrent]

they said they'll highlight the most popular experiences in a separate section of the UI... so I this would likely happen too

[dense robin]

Yeah that sounds nice

Maybe Air Superiority will finally come back

[proven torrent]

yeah you can do that too in portal

[mortal tide]

Im thinking of making a mode where its conquest, but air superiority

[worldly star]

jets vs aa tdm

[dense robin]

Jets vs helicopters

Bonus points if you hit the chopper

[arctic grove]

Chopper.

You can control speed.

[somber nebula]

i hope 2042 jets have more firepower than bf4 stealth jets

sjs are boring

you dont get many kills

apart from air kills

you get so bored you just ram it to something

like the aa or a chopper

[dense robin]

I hope 42 won't have AA cannons

Worst part about air combat in 5 was constantly getting shot down after 10 seconds

And you can never remember where you died because it all looks the same

[whole fern]

Plus you can always make your own. You don’t have to wait on official stuff. Portal is just Rent a server on steroids

[lofty shore]

jets drop jdams from high altitude for free kd boost

bery good mode

[versed gate]

that was pretty broken in bf4 since the jets stop rendering after a certain distance you cant track them anymore

[worldly star]

aa lasers

[versed gate]

i hope they fix teh jet cam, you cant free look and turn at the same time which is really awful

[lofty shore]

huh

mesh quality to ultra u could see jets across the whole map

[proven torrent]

exactly

[lofty shore]

the reason they couldnt be killed at high alt is movement gets harder to track, and cannons have a spread at high range

[brave furnace]

30mm cannons should've been doing a bit more damage to players than it did in bf4

[versed gate]

I always play on ultra but the attack jets fly up and stop being visible from what i remember in AA

[whole fern]

You can go to the extreme on all the customization. I bet some people will make their own Battlefield 1942, Bad Co 2, and 3 remastered playlists

[lofty shore]

they're ok

30mm on its own can disable(or kill, provided u dont miss anything) a tank before overheating

without belt feeder

and most of the time u will be finishing off with a jdam anyway

[versed gate]

Yeah I know I used the jdam too and its great but when they fly up an away its impossible to see them in the AA tank after a certain altitude.
It becomes very one sided if they know how to exploit it

[deep heart]

did they say anything about u get xp if u play portal??

[mortal tide]

yea

you get xp no matter what

[deep heart]

ah ok

[severe hill]

[rough salmon]

What edition of BF 2042 is worth the price?

[arctic grove]

anyone now recomendded specs

[elder mango]

No

Not yet

[glacial lance]

It depends. What do u expect in general?

[elder mango]

Standard is the best of you don’t care about skins or getting the game early

[elder mango]

Gold is the best all around for if you want the most out of the game

[rough salmon]

I just want the most bang for my buck

[elder mango]

Gold edition then definitely

[arctic grove]

Gold is £69, is it not?

[elder mango]

I think so

[glacial lance]

Yeah

[tame cobalt]

if we're getting crossplay with pc i hope they add kb/m support on consoles

[elder mango]

Already confirmed to have cross play with pc on new gen

[glacial lance]

The Gold Edition will cost $89.99/£79.99 on PC, and $99.99/£89.99 on the remaining platforms.

[tame cobalt]

ik

[hollow geyser]

Not just that lmao

They will give u 4 specialists aswell

And 4 battle passes

[elder mango]

What will?

Gold edition?

[hollow geyser]

Yes

[deep heart]

gold edition will give u year 1 battle pass

[hollow geyser]

Yup

[elder mango]

Well battlepasses are also just skins

[hollow geyser]

No

[elder mango]

And specialists are free for everyone

[deep heart]

im going to buy gold edition

[elder mango]

So

[hollow geyser]

There will be specialists too

[elder mango]

Those are free

[hollow geyser]

They said 4 specialists

But u can get them faster

[elder mango]

Yes well it’s worded very strangely I will admit

[distant plume]

Prolly early acces

[deep heart]

i think it will be like this u have a choice either way u buy it or u grind i think

[hollow geyser]

The gold edition is the best

[deep heart]

ye

[teal sleet]

just watched the trailer, i just can't wait. someone else is excited too?

[deep heart]

yup

[glacial lance]

on hype since teaser

[teal sleet]

just hope my 1080 and i7 can do the work....

[deep heart]

ram?

[teal sleet]

16

[deep heart]

probably will work

[rough salmon]

Does anyone know if the Steam deck would play this game?

[distant plume]

Why has the game gotta launch right when school is gonna start

[teal sleet]

probably gonna buy a new pc when the 40series is coming out

[tame cobalt]

All of us

[teal sleet]

svenska? zoppo

[deep heart]

japp

[glacial lance]

rumors say about the end of 2022

[arctic grove]

Rumor say that PC will replace VR

[teal sleet]

Häftigt, är så gira

[distant plume]

wdym

[deep heart]

aa

[arctic grove]

I have my thoughts on the future

[teal sleet]

nice, probably gonna update my entire pc lol

[teal sleet]

with tnew parts

[timber mulch]

Beta out?

[arctic grove]

that'll became Windows 11

[glacial lance]

what beta

[teal sleet]

har du spelat hela serien?

[glacial lance]

guys, #500058972234055710, No. 2: English only

[arctic grove]

We have no idea yet what will be in the pass or how exactly the system will work.

[worldly star]

probably will

[elder mango]

They’ve already said that all gameplay content is free so

[teal sleet]

sory

[elder mango]

Idk what more it could be than skins

[arctic grove]

Sure, but maybe paid BP will get some boost to progress or maybe it will contain stuff you like. IDK man, I'd say wait for more info then see if you want gold.

[flint jay]

I reckon specialists will be paid with in-game currency

Anything else is just cosmetics

[arctic grove]

Specialists affect gameplay, they won't be store-only.

[elder mango]

It could be like that

And the gold edition just gets them out of the gate

[flint jay]

But gold doesn't include specialists skins, it says specialists

[elder mango]

That would make more sense

[worldly star]

weapon charms, melee weapons, weapon skins, gadget skins, in game currency, vehicle skins, attachment variants, scope reticles, double xp tokens maybe

[flint jay]

Yeah they'll probably be unlockable by grinding

[tough dirge]

in BFV if you didnt unlock weapons during the seasons they just let you throw the in game currency at it

[worldly star]

and ofc character skins

thats some stuff we can probably expect in battlepasses

[arctic grove]

There is no rush to pre-order, so if it matters to you what will be in the pass, then I say wait.

[flint jay]

I'm against pre-ordering too but I pre-ordered

[arctic grove]

What do you mean you are against it too?

English guys

Who else was?

[elder mango]

I just got standard although gold is the the one that is most worth it for the money

[worldly star]

i got ultimate

[arctic grove]

I would have gotten that if they had a physical version.

[flint jay]

Well like I usually don't pre-order I just found a lower price (can't mention where since talking about certain sites is not allowed) and I thought it's probably not gonna get lower than this so I got it

[hollow geyser]

Ultimate is not that good tbh

[verbal forge]

Ultimate gives nothing special

[hollow geyser]

Get the gold edition

[verbal forge]

Gold is the best

[hollow geyser]

Frr

[verbal forge]

I got the gold

[hollow geyser]

Same

[arctic grove]

You did not answer my question though, You said you are against it too, meaning someone else was also against it. I assumed you implied that I was against pre-ordering, which is not true.

[worldly star]

i got ultimate bc i wanted the extra skin pack

[verbal forge]

Fairs

[flint jay]

Oh fairs I thought you were against it since you said there is no rush to pre-order

[distant notch]

i got ultimate because i have a crush on DICE :3

[arctic grove]

Since when does not rushing into something mean being against it?

[flint jay]

Well here anytime anyone speaks about pre-ordering it's either you never pre-order or you order on the spot

I just assumed wrongly

[arctic grove]

And that is a big problem of a lot of forum-like places like this.

[worldly star]

imagine having money

[arctic grove]

You often see just the two extreme opinions.

Honestly, people need to start thinking less in absolutes. They are not Siths after all. Or are they? 😄

[flint jay]

Such a good point you should become a political figure and change Discord

[worldly star]

cant relate tbh

[arctic grove]

Ah, Good Game of the gaming party. 😄

[worldly star]

finally gamers get representation in parliament

[arctic grove]

Toby Fox for president? LOL

In annoying dog form, of course.

[elder mango]

No

[arctic grove]

With the annoying dog music when he appears anywhere. 🙂

[worldly star]

sucks that most people wont get to experience 2042 until like 2 years in

[elder mango]

Why?

[worldly star]

you cant get a ps5 or xsx

[elder mango]

Good point

[radiant prism]

I managed to get an XSX after one day of mildly concerted effort

[wise zodiac]

I keep getting drop alerts for the series X, I'm just broke!

It's horrible.

[radiant prism]

Probably just got lucky but theres discord servers you can join that will ping you whenever availability pops up

Yeah then theres the problem of price tbh

[flint jay]

Get a tool called streetmerchant

[wise zodiac]

It's not really a concern of price.. 500 isn't bad for a new next gen console.

My bills are just too high.

[flint jay]

StockDrops also announced a tool for auto-checkout

[wise zodiac]

1k a month for child care, 2k a month for mortgage & utilities.

It's crazy.

[lean delta]

i kinda wished bf2042 had some sort of warzone competitor

[slim quiver]

I remember how easy it was to get an XSX day 1 pre purchase

Vs how PS5 was

Which was a nightmare

[lean delta]

thing is

if xbox keeps buying companies for exclusives

it might someday overtake ps

[slim quiver]

Eh

Sony will always sell more consoles

But Xbox sells more software

[lean delta]

yeah

[slim quiver]

Because they have gamepass, every game on PC. Etc

[lean delta]

sony just sells more bcause they havee a bigger reputation and history

and more loyal blind fanboys

[slim quiver]

Like PlayStation plus is not a good deal vs what Xbox offers for their online

They have gamepass that is bundled with their online service

[deft fossil]

0 reason to buy a xbox if u have a pc

[slim quiver]

Not necessarily true

[arctic grove]

True, that's why I changed to PC.

[deft fossil]

Unless ur pc is a potato

[slim quiver]

If your gaming pc is kinda Garbo, there’s a reason to have an Xbox if you won’t upgrade

[lean delta]

actually if you have a pc an xbox would cross save and could cross play

[arctic grove]

I used to be console.

[slim quiver]

And Sony is now pushing their games on PC mostly

So besides a very few amount of titles

Sony is now branching out to pc

Because they struggle in the software department

[elder mango]

Bloodborne..

[slim quiver]

I wish

[deft fossil]

If all xbox games and ps games were on pc and u had a decent pc literally no reason to buy the consoles

[radiant prism]

You used to be a console?

[slim quiver]

Hell I’d settle for a freaking Bloodborne ps5 upgrade

[deft fossil]

Except switch nintendo never putting there games on pc sadge

[slim quiver]

Eh again define decent

[arctic grove]

Yes

[radiant prism]

Its ok, we all get played sometimes

[slim quiver]

I’ll tell you right now the consoles are more impressive than most computers people have

[deft fossil]

1k pc is pretty decent

[slim quiver]

When you say a decent pc

[arctic grove]

I don't play the console.

[slim quiver]

A 1K pc is high fps on 1080p maybe

[arctic grove]

All I need a job

[slim quiver]

But with 500 dollars I can have a 4K experience

[deft fossil]

Depends what games

[slim quiver]

Well on Xbox it’s most games

Since they update their games

To be native 4K 60 FPS

[radiant prism]

PC's seem like a number of issues tbh, constant hardware limitations, cheating issues, etc

[deft fossil]

Yeah but do u really wanna play a competitive shooter at 4k 60 or 1080 240

[slim quiver]

Sony is mostly doing it with their new games but then making you pay for upgrades

Neither

[radiant prism]

Consoles provide solid (though modest) performance and accessibility/reliability

[slim quiver]

And most competitive shooters are PC only

[deft fossil]

If u only play single player games f it and get a console

[lean delta]

xbox has the software capability to push any games to 120 fps if the console can unless the game is locked by the dev for stability reasons like NFS rivals

[slim quiver]

I play comp shooters but I also like gaming in general on pc

[lean delta]

that was a 30 fps nightmare

[slim quiver]

When I want to play a console game

It’s like platformers, action adventure, third person games

Like I would play tomb raider on a console

I like looking at massive landscapes and stuff on a big tv

If I’m playing an rts, shooter, mmo I’ll pick a PC

[deft fossil]

Like a game like battlefield i would much prefer 240hz 1080p than 4k 60 fps

[slim quiver]

Ehhh idk I wouldn’t take either of those

I’d do like 1440p 144hz

That way I have a middle ground

BF for me isn’t a competitive shooter

If I want to play a comp shooter I’ll stick to CS or valorant

[deft fossil]

Nah id play on all low 500 frames 100000hz monitor

I do play valorant alot

[slim quiver]

Some people just want maximum frames

[deft fossil]

2042 is gonna be a pub stomp game

[slim quiver]

But I never thought I needed 1080 p 240hz

I’m Diamond in valorant and LEM in go so outside of those games that I play hard

I play every other shooter for fun

[arctic grove]

nice.

[deft fossil]

Im immortal in valo only game i play and some bf4 when im bored

[slim quiver]

Aye nice rank

I would continue to play valorant more but eh

The one thing I don’t like is the abilities

I play Jett 99% of the time because her abilities are more manageable and i can aim her ult

[deft fossil]

I actually wouldnt mind 720p at 500 frames lmao

[slim quiver]

I play cs at 1280x720

[deft fossil]

Rn i get 300-400 frames on 1080

[slim quiver]

Like the thing is it depends what you’re into

Your style fits your pc

Tho some people just like to game in general and their pc maybe be not specialized for 1 thing

So having a mid tier pc and a console is perfect

It’s really just up to how you like to experience games

It’s kinda like if you asked someone if they would like to play pokemon on a pc

To most people that sounds weird

[molten tartan]

I guess it will feature Ray Tracing?

[worldly star]

what will

[mortal raft]

Battlefield isn't nearly competitive enough to prioritize refresh rate over resolution too much.
2k 144hz is a good sweetspot for BF.

[tender mantle]

when you pre ordered bf 42

[low tapir]

1440p @ 120 or 4k @60 will be my choices because I don't have hdmi 2.1. I have trouble giving up the 4k but we'll see how it plays. 😏

[mortal raft]

If you're used to 4k, going down might be a pain.

[low tapir]

Yeah I'm worried about that.

[hidden marten]

I'd much rather have 4k60 for Battlefield

[low tapir]

I'm not good enough that the framerate will even matter.

[tender mantle]

Ah.. Guys you lucky. I'm got kinda old pc and run battlefield 1 in 18 fps on medium settings with 4k

[worldly star]

me who cant game in 4k at all

[low tapir]

My PC is a potato but I completely lucked into picking up a series x.

[mortal raft]

Yeah, refresh rate us pretty irrelevant for BF.

[hidden marten]

My 4K TV is only 60hz anyways so 120fps wouldn't do anything for me

[worldly star]

my cpu holds me down to like 30fps in 4k

[tender mantle]

I'm gonna buy rtx stuff on days

With new cpu

So adios amigos

[worldly star]

also my gpu cant do 4k60 at decent settings anyways lol

[hidden marten]

BFV runs at 4k60 on the Series X so going to a lower resolution would just be a downgrade

[low tapir]

And it looks so nice

[hidden marten]

Indeed

[hallow iris]

Very pretty

[hidden marten]

It'd be nice if they updated BF4 to run at a higher resolution on Series X, 720p is very very rough looking on my 4K TV

They gave it 120fps support already

[worldly star]

my card is only good for 1440p

sad

but if 2042 runs anything like bfv i should be able to do 1440p 60fps no issue

[low tapir]

Yeah it sadly hurts my eyes enough that I can't play it for long. 😞 Not worth the headache

[kind hedge]

do you think people will only play portal mode or do you think people will still play the normal modes?

[radiant prism]

We'll see what happens, portal seems to have more long-term potential though

[full axle]

I'll be playing heaps of portal for sure

[kind hedge]

so do we tihnk the whole game will be basically worthless due to portal?

[full axle]

No it'll be fine

[radiant prism]

Probably not worthless, considering the base game itself is contributing a good amount to portal, and there will still be a good portion of the community who will just want a vanilla experience
