battlefield-2042

[slate sparrow]

😢

[slow kraken]

Why would you get tearing if you aren't hitting 144fps on a 144hz monitor?

[potent matrix]

I got with BF5 ultra 100 fps

[slate sparrow]

BF5 is different from BF2042

[round thicket]

if the battlefield 2042 lore were continually updated with a truly beautiful lore, it could be more beautiful than a mediocre singleplayer campaign, and from what I've seen now, even with the announcement of the mini movie, it has what it takes to be.

[potent matrix]

high 1080p should be 60+

[potent matrix]

I mean maybe 25 % less performance

[slate sparrow]

there's no campaign

[old mantle]

That's what he said

[round thicket]

of course I know, that's what I said

[slow kraken]

You'd only get screen tearing if you were running something like 144fps on a 60hz monitor but that's what V Sync is for or a FPS limit

[fiery solar]

but why is minecraft capped at 60fps (fullscreen) if i have a 144hz monitor

[uncut kernel]

ayy singapore

u from there?

[slow kraken]

Maybe you have a setting on to cap it?

[fiery solar]

but what? V sync is off

[slow kraken]

No wait I think Minecraft is capped to 60fps for the game itself

As it puts strain on the CPU if it goes more than 60

[somber hinge]

no

[slow kraken]

care to explain then

[old mantle]

Yeah, screen tearing only occurs when you're getting too many frames for your monitor to process so it starts laying parts of each frame over the top of each other

[lavish shadow]

nah but cloes

[somber hinge]

I mean my minecraft was never capped at 60

[slow kraken]

Must be a setting then

[old mantle]

Minecraft RTX destroys my FPS

[somber hinge]

I'm on java doe

[amber panther]

is this for real? https://twitter.com/_Tom_Henderson_/status/1422661770578169862

[somber hinge]

not the win 10 store ting

[slate sparrow]

Yes

[amber panther]

so its not that CPU high recommended game?

look like an old 4th gen i7 can run it

[somber hinge]

got a 3600 3080 think we good

[slate sparrow]

3080 is way too OP man

your 10 year proof graphics card

💀

[old mantle]

Only a 3600? The game is unplayable unless you have anything less than a 5900x with a 3080

[somber hinge]

idk about that one xd

[amber panther]

so i have a i7 6700, with 2060 Super.. can i run it 1080p lowest settings? im not really into visuals graphics im more on 100+ FPS for my 144hz Monitor

[somber hinge]

[slate sparrow]

I hope its not gonna be Halo: Infinite

that is so UNOPTIMIZED

You see the graphics of Halo: Infinite and then the FPS benchmarks

crazy man

[somber hinge]

ngl was gonna try upgrade my 3600 but my god the price to performance at 1440p just aint worth it at all

[flint dune]

dows anyone play warzone

[amber panther]

lol Halo infinte srsly look like a 2007 Game. .for Real

[slate sparrow]

and the system requirements

is just crazy man

[amber panther]

and the map size is like valorant

[old mantle]

I was lucky I was able to get a 5900x on launch. They sold out in a few minutes and the websites were crashing

[somber hinge]

guess it depends if you do other stuff on your pc but gaming tbh I don't think the new cpus are worth it

[old mantle]

I mean, I listen to Minecraft music while gaming so I need it

[somber hinge]

true

[slow kraken]

No it doesn't

[slow kraken]

What?

By that you mean small maps?

[slate sparrow]

It does

[somber hinge]

going froma 3600 to a 5600x getting 3 fps more

[slow kraken]

Shoe me a comparison between halo 3 and infinite and tell me they look the same

[slate sparrow]

Have you even seen Halo: Infinite, the REQUIREMENTS for it is not equivelant to the GRAPHICS that it has

[slow kraken]

I know but it doesn't look like a 2007 game

[slate sparrow]

It looks like a game from 2013 - 2015

Its definitely outdated if your looking for graphics

[arctic grove]

helo, i sell my wife for gt710. can i run batlefield?

[slate sparrow]

But the requirements for it indicates how unoptimized it is

[somber hinge]

imagine if every game actually was optimised like doom eternal

[slate sparrow]

Would prefer if all games were optimized like Competitive Games*

👁‍🗨

[somber hinge]

[slow kraken]

Yeah it looks similar to halo 5

But with the more classic halo art style

I agree the optimization is ass

[grand shoal]

it is so stupid for EA / Dice to give early beta access to people who barely played the previous bfs , I know two people who received and do not even play bf .They are not even players of this type of games , I played them all , I did not have very fair

[slow kraken]

Yeah it's dumb

I bet they'll give all the CoD youtubers access also who never play BF and will complain about stupid shit like "the maps are too big"

[grand shoal]

Yup

💸💸💸💸💸💸

[peak socket]

It could be false also. Not every leak is true.

[potent matrix]

This looks cool https://media.contentapi.ea.com/content/dam/battlefield/battlefield-2042/buy/common/tempest-bundle.png.adapt.crop16x9.652w.png

[arctic grove]

that's literally from the email you get when you get into the closed alpha

confirmed

[slate sparrow]

If you used deduce all the information and the previous requirements of past games, it clearly requires an RTX Card to run.

[grand shoal]

Ya

[flint dune]

i bought standard edition 😦

[potent matrix]

I will when I have the money

[slow kraken]

UMP45?

[potent matrix]

Looks like that but better

[grand shoal]

https://www.overclock3d.net/news/software/is_your_pc_ready_for_battlefield_2142_s_beta_ea_has_just_launched_the_game_s_early_system_requirements/1

[peak socket]

The closed alpha is very different from the full release.

[arctic grove]

lol

[potent matrix]

That's it

[grand shoal]

Ya like BF4?

[arctic grove]

if anything they'll optimize it better

[slow kraken]

It will be different but the game launches in 2 months I can't see it changing that much

[slow kraken]

Nice

[nova idol]

In terms of technical requirements? Only a few months before launch?

No

[peak socket]

lol a 128 player server with big map and tornadoes and destruction runniong on a 1050ti? lol you have to be kiding me

[slow kraken]

The RTX 2060 will probably stay as recommended as they are partnered with NVIDIA and are promoting DLSS etc

[nova idol]

No one said itll run well

It will launch and not crash

[grand shoal]

Minimal spec and Run like PS4

Lol

[nova idol]

I mean thats probably not far off

[tropic harbor]

whats the name of the bc2 maps in 2042 again ?

[mental stone]

dude all the hype which i had for bf 2042 is gone now. bruh when the game gonna come out

[peak socket]

run like cyberpunk on ps4 ya

[slow kraken]

I'm just going to relax and stroke my 3070

[nova idol]

If your hype is all gone right now then you werent even hyped to begin with

[peak socket]

22nd October

[mental stone]

fair point. might as well stick to the pre order

[slow kraken]

Arica Harbour and Valparaiso

[tropic harbor]

thx im gonna test it out

[potent matrix]

Yeah that GPU is better than PS4

[slow kraken]

Why?

[arctic grove]

damn bro it's almost as if the increased player count would drastically increase cpu requirements

(it did)

[arctic grove]

I don't think it's a cool skin

[mental stone]

dude i wanna play the game man i don't have many games to start with and this is my first game which i pre ordered

[potent matrix]

Personal preference

I guess

[nova idol]

Just have some patience

Everything is on track as it should be

[arctic grove]

Me too, right now I only play HALO, fall guys, and ww3

[somber hinge]

play league

[peak socket]

ya ps4 is 8 years old 1060 is 5

[potent matrix]

Guys remember the hyped when a trailer leaked

[slow kraken]

So why did your hype go out the window?

[mental stone]

never experienced pre order hype

[nova idol]

If it makes you feel any better theres def gonna be a ton of leaked gameplay on the 12th

[arctic grove]

we can't even see the chest armor, and he looks like antifa

[potent matrix]

I think i'll do fine

[grand shoal]

Bah no hype

[potent matrix]

Yeah you're right

[mental stone]

bro im already fat what do want me to be, a fucking balloon

[potent matrix]

but it looks military to me

[grand shoal]

O need to play to see

[somber hinge]

yes

[potent matrix]

Now we are talking

[arctic grove]

I'll wait for new skins

[mental stone]

bruh mad respecc. i'll download it just for you

[potent matrix]

https://media.contentapi.ea.com/content/dam/battlefield/battlefield-2042/buy/common/earth-bundle.png.adapt.crop16x9.652w.png

[somber hinge]

ngl league caused me to lose weight how much I got addicted to it back in the day I wouldn't even eat

[mental stone]

dice movin mad yo 😳

[potent matrix]

Pharaohs theme

[arctic grove]

I haven't seen a laser or tac light yet and that scares me

[mental stone]

[sterile flint]

I always wanted to play a sand person

[slow kraken]

Gun looks cool but the Pat skin is kinda gay

[somber hinge]

[steel stream]

Ok ok

Dlc idea

[somber hinge]

whats wrong with gay

[wraith sphinx]

so the thing on his back is going to be a specialists thing then

[potent matrix]

I guess so

[slow kraken]

[potent matrix]

Guys guys

[slow kraken]

what?

[steel stream]

What of 2042 had a London DLC?
Like a remake of metro but the underground and then the houses of parliament and big Ben

[potent matrix]

It's cool

[mental stone]

yea bro what's wrong being gay ?

[potent matrix]

skin

nonethe less

[wraith sphinx]

you can see it in the reveal trailer with a diffident skin so yeah i guess

[mental stone]

lol we out here actin like twitter

[slow kraken]

lmao

[potent matrix]

Better than a woman with a metalic hand screaming Hallo old friend

That's a bit mean

sry

[mental stone]

yea you gonna get cancelled just you wait

[slow kraken]

What's wrong with women?

[somber hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/hi-mods-monkey-hi-hi-monkey-hello-monkey-discord-hello-monkey-discord-mod-gif-20274882

[potent matrix]

It's not about women

It's about that very bad presentation

BF5 trailer

It didn't feel like war

[slow kraken]

I love robotic women in my WW2 game

[wraith sphinx]

well kinda is as it was ww2 but yeah

[potent matrix]

It felt like shit

[slow kraken]

It was shit yeah

[potent matrix]

[wraith sphinx]

but at least dice did well with the pacific

[slow kraken]

Don't call your game authentic ww2 and have none of the classic ww2 battles in there and have robotic women fighting

[slow kraken]

Yes very much

[somber hinge]

[potent matrix]

This thing feels like a free to play game

[wraith sphinx]

that the new ubisoft game?

[somber hinge]

battle pass gonna slap ngl

[potent matrix]

That's part of the pre-order bonus for BF2042

[potent matrix]

True It will be AnimeField

[tropic harbor]

anyone know how to play multiplayer in bc2 ?

[wraith sphinx]

oh well its just a card thing

[arctic grove]

Cod bocw summarized

[potent matrix]

Yeah get a time travel machine and go to 2010

[tropic harbor]

where can I see my serial number ?

[potent matrix]

Alot of microtransactions

[wraith sphinx]

well thats the way it is like look at warzone selling all them skin packs its not a bad thing

[tropic harbor]

It still have server but I must give them my serial number but idk where to find it

[potent matrix]

Warzone is not 60 $

[potent matrix]

lol idk about that

[uncut kernel]

oh-

where u from then?

[tropic harbor]

ok :[

[potent matrix]

It's fine as long as we get new maps

[wraith sphinx]

true but its the way the gaming industry has gone

[potent matrix]

Agreed it's better than premium pass after all

[wraith sphinx]

yeah having to wait months for new content

bf1 went 6 months before the french dlc came along

[potent matrix]

Yeah that's pretty much killed the game imo

[wraith sphinx]

still had fun with bf1

[somber hinge]

ngl wish some maps would have a juggernaut suit pickup or something like bf1

[tropic harbor]

I give up no bc2 for me

If someone have a bfv code he dont need dm me pls I would give it a friend of mine who never played bf

[wraith sphinx]

kinda hoping for weapon pick ups

[somber hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/ken-jeong-community-too-small-to-read-read-reading-gif-5494204

[ocean flame]

Nvm NDA lol

[sullen inlet]

Its stupid that playtest is only USA

Cant participate here

[ocean flame]

Just noticed the last paragraph

[nova ice]

whats going on, has ea announced stupid looking microtransactions or something?

[mortal raft]

Not in the game

[somber hinge]

same really hope we get some crazy anti air/anti tank missiles for pickup at certain locations to just obliterate them

[tropic harbor]

wait rly ?

[wraith sphinx]

yeah also like some cool sci fi tech stuff

[carmine latch]

It's not USA only though?

[tropic harbor]

I got no invite so idk

[sullen inlet]

Well I also checked and it said no playtest in your area

[tropic harbor]

U need to get a email from them

[carmine latch]

You should recieve an e-mail

[tropic harbor]

they invite u

[carmine latch]

also should've registered to EA Playtesting beforehand.

[tropic harbor]

yes I should had done it too

[sullen inlet]

But where do you apply, i signed in and it legit told me no playtest available to even participate on

I did beforehand

Guess i just got no email

[carmine latch]

If you recieved an e-mail, you should be able to take the survey.

If not, you can't.

[sullen inlet]

I got a survey

[fierce fulcrum]

Battlefield recommended specs wow

[sullen inlet]

But it said sth with july 16th

[fierce fulcrum]

They do be hitting hard

[sullen inlet]

So i thought its not for BF

[balmy gate]

Where?

[carmine latch]

Yeah, its something else probably.

You should've recieved an e-mail

The specs are not latest tho, it might get updated down the road.

[tropic harbor]

the mods should pin the specs

[carmine latch]

They're just for the playtest.

[tropic harbor]

oh

[carmine latch]

It's not official just yet.

[tropic harbor]

I remember the specs was u need 50 gb

[carmine latch]

They shouldn't even be out there atm. It's a breach of NDA agreement.

[tropic harbor]

than it should be just one mode

[sullen inlet]

I mean with DLSS support Im happy with my 2070s

[tropic harbor]

I have a 2070 too

[sullen inlet]

Looking at other games its a free 40% performance boost

[slow kraken]

People with years old gear expecting to run a next-gen game with 128 players need a reality check

[raw osprey]

damn

[nova ice]

is there a specific place to sign up for the 2042 playtesting, or do you just login to the playtest account with your ea account details and see if you have access?

[slow kraken]

Playtesting invites are now closed

You need to wait for beta in September now

[carmine latch]

You should've registered to general EA Playtesting program beforehand.

[sullen inlet]

They are open until august 8th

[tropic harbor]

I heard there is a second wave today

[sullen inlet]

Varsity trolling xd

[slow kraken]

Where does it say that?

[sullen inlet]

On the website

[tropic harbor]

but u will get a invite email

[nova ice]

well good one, EA, do the playtesting signup when my country is in bed:S

[carmine latch]

People who registered to EA Playtesting getting e-mails on deployment.

[tropic harbor]

nah

u get the email

if u sleep or not

[nova ice]

yeah i know, i just didnt even know about the playtesting account until i saw that they were doing 2042 invites:P

[tropic harbor]

U just need to be sign up in the tester programm from them most people did it yesterday

[sullen inlet]

I will go on holiday soon, returning mid September, hopefully in time for the beta

[tropic harbor]

me too

[nova ice]

the thing with the open beta....

they usually only last a couple of days

which is crazy

[slow kraken]

Yeah, it's not a true beta it's more of a demo than anything

[nova ice]

look what they did in bf4, they used a months old build and it didnt last long..

yeah

they should call it a demo then

[sullen inlet]

Beta is an excuse for bugs and glitches

[fierce fulcrum]

How old do you have to be for playtesting bf2042?

[nova ice]

call it a beta demo then

[sullen inlet]

Game will arrive 1 month later, no way its a beta

[tropic harbor]

well most of my friends have bad pc they can test if theire pc run bf2042 without buying it

[slow kraken]

Betas these days are just to get people to pre order

[nova ice]

beta is an excuse to market preorders. its a sham

[tropic harbor]

betas are cool

[sullen inlet]

But its an open beta?

[tropic harbor]

right

[nova ice]

in september yeah

[sullen inlet]

No need to preorder

[tropic harbor]

open beta are cool closed not

right

[nova ice]

they will have beta early access and what not for preorders

[slow kraken]

True betas are like 6+ months before the game comes out and usually last a full week or two

[tropic harbor]

so u can test if ur pc can run it

[nova ice]

but im saying, no beta should be used to market in pre orders

should be illegal

[sullen inlet]

Its EA

[nova ice]

do an early access demo, after beta testing has been done by randomly selected parties

[slow kraken]

Yeah, beta should be available to all at the same time but sadly companies like to use it as a pre order bonus

[nova ice]

from a pool of everyone, not just preorders

"hey, pay us to do our QA"

[vital haven]

You don't say😂

[slow kraken]

One of my favourite betas was Gears 3 and Halo 5. They lasted like a month and were a year away from their release

[nova ice]

epic were always good at betas and demos

[slow kraken]

Yeah

[nova ice]

i remember the ut2004 beta

they called it a beta demo

and the ut2k3 demo too

internet went wild when those got released

[slow kraken]

The good ol' days

[nova ice]

i remember when they dropped the ut2004 beta demo, was at some show and i think it was mark rein talking about the game, then right at the end he was like "oh and the beta demo is available to download NOW"

and yeah the good ol' days. back when gaming was fun

and not infested with cheaters cos cheating wasnt the "meta" of any online game

[fierce fulcrum]

Umm nda?

[plucky grove]

I wish I got invited too 😔

[compact fern]

guys,do you know when will EA send the second wave of the 2042 test invitations by email(if we have second wave)?

[slow kraken]

Back in the early 2000s when devs would actually play their games

[plucky grove]

Can't talk about it

[ocean flame]

Not my email, i didnt agree to any agreement or NDA

[nova ice]

back in the early 2000s when devs treated game dev as an art form and wanted to be proud of their products

[deep sierra]

Like always i'm never invited by ea for playtesting game...

[plucky grove]

@deep sierra 4r me neither :(

[arctic grove]

hi

[nova idol]

Who cares about nda

[still vault]

People who don't want their EA accounts closed I would imagine.

[fierce fulcrum]

Oh okay

So sadly I cant playtest rip

Learned you couldn’t sign up when you’re under 18 :(

[nova ice]

they made fun games they found fun themselves, now, games are just psychological manipulation designed to give you dopamine injections at the right time and frustrate the hell out of you the rest of the time

[ocean flame]

@still vault
Cant get your account closed if you dont sign NDAs

[nova idol]

Just lie about your age like a normal person

[onyx plume]

[deep sierra]

I haved always boughted there game battlefield since BFBC2, and when a battlefield game is comming this is always like that... I have no thank you for this...

[slim quiver]

It’s best to not even bring up anything that shouldn’t be mentioned in the first place haha

[ocean flame]

@onyx plume stop asking for codes.

[onyx plume]

amogus

[plucky grove]

Anyway I couldn't play it

[nova idol]

haha

[plucky grove]

Don't have pc rn

[fierce fulcrum]

You guys think some gameplay will be leaked?

[ocean flame]

@fierce fulcrum pretty sure yes

[raw osprey]

indeed

[fierce fulcrum]

That’d be good lmao

We got like 10 seconds of gunplay

[sullen inlet]

Lol true

[arctic grove]

teach me your ways

[nova ice]

@slow kraken its why i got myself one of these https://retrododo.com/rg351p/ 😛

[ocean flame]

Some got it outside the US, where US rules do not apply, so they can break the NDA easily

[slow kraken]

What

[nova idol]

Someone is totally gonna leak their entire 3h session

[sullen inlet]

I just finished my survey on playtest

[mortal raft]

Pretty sure that goes for game devs nowadays too...

[nova idol]

Thats not how that works

[still vault]

That sounds like some terribly bad legal advice.

[ocean flame]

@nova idol seriously lol i live in a country where copyrights are broken on a daily basis and people are free

[sullen inlet]

Idk why they ask about all those sport games

[nova ice]

well yeah its probably true for the majority of devs, but they can't do what they want because of the publisher

[tropic harbor]

u guys think a rx 480 or a gtx 1050ti will run 2042 in low settings ?

[jade plaza]

Lol people on reddit freaking out people are sharing there invite emails. Lol you can’t breach a NDA if you haven’t signed it as it isn’t legally binding till you sign it

[compact fern]

in 1080p maybe 60fps?

[tropic harbor]

that would be ok

[nova ice]

yeah what he said

[fiery solar]

h

[ocean flame]

@nova idol including EA's where people distribute digital licenses to multiple accounts on PSN and ea cant do shit about it

[nova ice]

im hoping my 1080ti will still hold up

[slow kraken]

Possibly

[nova ice]

i mean ive just upgrades cpu and mobo but cant get a new gpu for ovbious reasons

[ocean flame]

@still vault if i had the playtest I can guarantee you i could leak it and ea wouldnt do a thing to me.

[jade plaza]

@ocean flame if you where in a country the publisher or devs where based

[tropic harbor]

recommended is gtx 1060 and rx 580 it would maybe run

[compact fern]

guys will there be second wave of the test emails?

[jade plaza]

There’s no case law in Australia to say a court would or wouldn’t extradite you to another country to hear a civil matter

[compact fern]

i really want to play 2042 XD

[jade plaza]

@compact fern next month

I’m literally taking time off for it

[sudden wasp]

just 2 weeks after the play test

[fiery solar]

am I the only one who gets bad fps and stutters with dx12 enabled?

[sudden wasp]

everybody who preordered can play it

[nova ice]

amds version of dlss, fidelityfx? is designed to run on any gpu right?

[ocean flame]

@jade plaza except that im not, and they cant take me to my local court cuz their rules dont apply.

[jade plaza]

All preorders get acess next month on the 5th

[nova ice]

how are they managing to do that when dlss needs dedicated tensor cores?

[still vault]

I wont comment on that. I don't work for EA.
I would however advice everyone to read the EA Terms of Service.

[stark mason]

it's gonna leak it's gonna not look good drama incoming fanboys will try to damage control "but it's just a technical test ! the build is probably old !" haterz: "GAME RELEASE IN TWO MONTH LOOOOOOL "

[jade plaza]

@ocean flame Yea but they could just black list your IP and hardware and shit down and nan all your accounts

[nova ice]

tbh i bet its gonna be a white box map

[ocean flame]

@jade plaza
Literally ive seen copyright takendown letters being thrown away when i worked at my local ISP for a couple months.
You can torrent and share whatever you want

[nova ice]

and some glitchy, twitchy animations and network lag

[still vault]

I have not posted a penguin in ages. Must.... rectify.

[ocean flame]

@jade plaza yeah thats the worst they can do

[jade plaza]

@still vault where does that meme originate

[winter sparrow]

Can someone help me with The Challenge Hamada

[fiery solar]

dynamic explosion that has infinite smoke

[sullen inlet]

Arctic maps are cool

Literraly

[ocean flame]

Reveal trailer

[sullen inlet]

😎

[jade plaza]

Also I’m not suggesting you break a NDA quite the opposite

[sudden wasp]

something will get leaked

[nova ice]

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3a/cf/65/3acf650ec7bdacfc8ea50e3d98a4b9f7.jpg

[ocean flame]

@jade plaza just give me playtest access and ill break it for you lol

[sullen inlet]

Leaks bad, but needed

[wise zodiac]

Penguins are dope.

[sudden wasp]

EA is asking for it

[still vault]

With this pretty much - this is when penguins in BF became canon 🙂

[fiery solar]

what if they were just there for the scene and not a part of the game

not historically accurate

[jade plaza]

@still vault PETA is GONNA be pissed when I defib a penguin

[sudden wasp]

the email itself got leaked right away

[wise zodiac]

That literally means that penguins aren't extinct in 20 years.

[ocean flame]

@fiery solar dont like it, dont buy it. Lol bfv 2.0

[wise zodiac]

So its a win win

[jade plaza]

@sudden wasp that email ain’t legally binding

[nova ice]

yeah people complained about women in ww2, but penguins in ww3 is all fine and dandy

[stark mason]

the small leaks i need right now:

• is old spotting back ?
• how do we revive mates ?
• auto regen HP when hurt ?
• how does suppression work this time ?
• ....

[fiery solar]

breakaway is probably the last chunk of ice on earth

[still vault]

They had an interview with the guy that added the penguins to the map so I think it is a safe bet. Could be wrong though.

[sudden wasp]

the email itself stated that it is part of the nda

[fierce fulcrum]

Auto regen is here

[jade plaza]

@sudden wasp which is not binding till you sign it

[fierce fulcrum]

Its in the battlefield portal trailer

[fiery solar]

boat royale in a flooded city👍

[fierce fulcrum]

YES

And you can use boats, planes

[stark mason]

partial regen ? or to maximum ? these kind of details i'd like to know

[sudden wasp]

even after signing, there is always someone who doesnt care

i would be surprised if we dont get anything

[fiery solar]

boats and aircrafts only is perfect

[nova ice]

btw didnt they say there no naval warfare at launch? yet the short video on the 12th is meant to be naval warfare themed

[jade plaza]

2042 but there’s no world war it’s just global warming and the penguins have taken over

[wise zodiac]

@still vault, it's 8AM, but I sure do want pizza. How about you?

[fierce fulcrum]

Welcome to portal :)

[fiery solar]

anything but pizza hut and dominos

[fierce fulcrum]

True

[nova ice]

global warming literally has world war in it

[fiery solar]

you cant create your own maps in portal

[nova ice]

global WARming

[still vault]

Pizza? Always.

[jade plaza]

Mods be flirting with each other and didn’t invite me

Sad Pepe

[wise zodiac]

I've got a really good pizza place around here...

Does Chicago style.

[fiery solar]

bullet holes

[sullen inlet]

We saw auto regen already

[nova ice]

pizza at 8am is only ok if its leftover from the night befores takaway:P

[wise zodiac]

It's like a 4" deep pizza with nothing but cheese & sauce.

[fiery solar]

what wrong with a pizza with no toppings

[jade plaza]

I can’t wait to batman pounce on someone with the grappling hook

[sullen inlet]

Pitha

[still vault]

Mmmm, cheese.

[fiery solar]

if i cant grapple onto someone and kick them just cause style im going to be disappointed

[fiery solar]

not really i wont care at all

[jade plaza]

It be funny if the ultimate preorder had a penguin suit. I think they would make billions in a minute

[nova ice]

wow that does look good

[fiery solar]

thats disgusting

[sullen inlet]

De l'alpe best

Change my mind

[nova ice]

@fiery solar disgusting?

[wise zodiac]

It's good. Really greasy from the cheese. Super good.

[fiery solar]

can i get a pizza with extra tomato sauce

hold the cheese

[jade plaza]

That looks feral, like why is pizza so thicc

[fiery solar]

thicc pizza is good pizza

[sullen inlet]

Its a quiche

Not pizza

[jade plaza]

You Americans

[nova ice]

thats quiche? looks like a pizza pie

[fiery solar]

it does

[sullen inlet]

All the same

[wise zodiac]

You can't tell me that isn't pizza.

[nova ice]

but you guys have make me work out what to cook today

gonna make quiche, got a load of eggs to use up

[wise zodiac]

I mean, you can, but you'd be wrong.

[torpid shuttle]

Pineapple on pizza?

[fiery solar]

monster

[jade plaza]

See I cooked a loverly pork crackling last night, no pizza needed

[wise zodiac]

@torpid shuttle, uh, I love sweet & savory foods. Yes.

[torpid shuttle]

Me???

[jade plaza]

Pineapple on pizza is banging

Especially down under

[nova ice]

only if its ham and pineapple

[torpid shuttle]

Finally some true ally.

[nova ice]

i wont put it on anything else, it spoils it

[jade plaza]

@wise zodiac you are a traitor to pizza kind

[nova ice]

i cant put pineapple on a pepperoni pizza, ruins the salty spicyness

[wise zodiac]

When I do my Hawaiians, I do one of two things: Canadian bacon & pineapple or chicken & pineapple

Both are delicious.

[nova ice]

but then again, i never choose ham n pineapple over pepperoni

[jade plaza]

@wise zodiac that’s not haiwian then

[torpid shuttle]

Hawaiian pizza is my first impression.

[jade plaza]

Arggg you Americans ruin everything with extra bacon and excessive amounts of other meats

[wise zodiac]

But it is. Canadian bacon = ham. Ham and pineapple = hawaiian.

Chicken & pineapple is still considered hawaiian because of the pineapple.

[nova ice]

i once made a home made pizza where the base was hamburger meat instead of bread

gotta try that

[sullen inlet]

5 types of cheese + fresh figs are orgasmic

[torpid shuttle]

Sorry... But I am not American.

[jade plaza]

I was referring to the mod who ruined pizza for me

[torpid shuttle]

Ok haha

[wise zodiac]

Not so much excessive amounts of bacon

[nova ice]

@jade plaza where you from?

[jade plaza]

Australia

[slow kraken]

Why wouldn't penguins be in 2042?

Unless they were extinct

[nova ice]

ohhh do you put shrimp on your pizza?

[jade plaza]

We call them prawns and yes

Garlic prawn is fucking awesome

[nova ice]

@slow kraken global WARming should have wiped them all out

[wise zodiac]

The only time I eat excessive amounts of meat is if it's Thanksgiving, Christmas, or if it's a cookout with marinated fajita meat from this Mexican meat market down the street..

[nova ice]

never been a subscriber to seafood on a pizza

[torpid shuttle]

But you can see some penguin at the beach.

[nova ice]

but i do love seafood

[wise zodiac]

Or, if it's also a tomahawk steak or a porterhouse.

[slow kraken]

2042 not all ice would have been melted and penguins can live without it

[jade plaza]

I can’t wait for conservatives to get mad that global warming is shown in a realistic way in a video game set in the future

[nova ice]

you can see some women at the beach in 1942, but doesnt mean they should be in the game!

[wise zodiac]

Oof, let's not discuss politics.

[slow kraken]

You can't play as the penguins though

[jade plaza]

Fine but you know it will be a good laugh when it happens

[nova ice]

im trolling

[slow kraken]

They are just in the background to give the map some more life

Ah okay

lol

Unless....

Portal - Penguin vs WW2 soldiers

[jade plaza]

Only if I can snipe penguins is the game realistic

[wise zodiac]

Y'all be good. I gotta go do some work now.

[nova ice]

they already said no to that

[sullen inlet]

Global warming has nothing to do with politics tho

[slow kraken]

[jade plaza]

@wise zodiac your telling battlefield players to behave ? That’s like asking a bf4 admin not to be salty

[spark acorn]

hmmm a boris player I see

[nova ice]

if they simply explode into a flurry of jam when i run over them in a tank, then the game isnt realistic

[wise zodiac]

Yeah. I trust y'all will behave while I'm gone. Lol

[slow kraken]

Da

[sullen inlet]

I recently got t bagged in BF4

[nova ice]

i need to see them flat as a pancake on my tank tracks going round and round

colelction more mud each time

[sullen inlet]

After 10 years

[spark acorn]

alright, first boris player to reach 1k kills

[neon portal]

madmaxxing

[slow kraken]

Da

[spark acorn]

actually I will be the first

[slow kraken]

Negative comrade

[jade plaza]

Is there a way to change your EA username

[spark acorn]

ARGHHH

[spark acorn]

Yes you can.

[nova ice]

if theres any maps set in australia, i want to see this too..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_YaZ-emcPc

[slow kraken]

None yet

Maybe in seasons

[spark acorn]

Eh possibly.

But, we're definitely getting an aussie specialist at 1 point.

[jade plaza]

Now I want a game mode where everyone hides in ghilles and one person has a gun everyone else gets knives

[slow kraken]

Then you can make that on Portal

[spark acorn]

ooutback map, ew.

[slow kraken]

That movie looks shit

[jade plaza]

Don’t make me whack you with my Kola mate

[tame cobalt]

It's the kind of politics that would be a missed opportunity not to address in this game

[spark acorn]

koala'

[jade plaza]

@slow kraken if your Australian that movie is scary af

[nova ice]

im british, loved that movie

and the first

second was better though

[slow kraken]

Are Australians that easily scared?

[nova ice]

i wouldnt call it scary though

[jade plaza]

The serial killer he’s based off only just does a few years ago

He subverts the aussie stero type

[azure vessel]

aussies are impossible to kill

[nova ice]

oh it was based of a true story? never knew that

[jade plaza]

It’s not based on a true story

The character portrayed is based off ivan milat

Who killed tourists in the nsw state forest and hurried the bodies there

[nova ice]

ahh ok

[torpid shuttle]

I heard some Japanese Idol studied at Australia. Then she come back to Japan and become stronger IDOL.

[jade plaza]

He often picked up hitch hikers and he was a drug runner and pig hunter

[dim blade]

yoo, they revealed the PC specs for BF2042!

[slim quiver]

Australians are the strongest people on the planet

[nova ice]

[jade plaza]

CoreZ it’s all over reddit

[nova ice]

well im way above that in horsepower

[sullen inlet]

Specs are just for the playtest

[dim blade]

i just got home from work ok xD?

[jade plaza]

Just like I had a leak of the beta next month a few days ago

[torpid shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/haachama-haato-momonkusa-gif-18856659

Yes she is one of them.

[tame cobalt]

i imagine those specs may change for the final game

[sullen inlet]

Not final

[nova ice]

but i wont be using raytracing or dlss since i still have the 1080ti

[tiny wharf]

that weapon texture looks terrible ngl

[tropic harbor]

hey

[sullen inlet]

I just wanna shoot with my 308 vector

Gib metro

[jade plaza]

@peak socket it’s gonna catch fire

[tropic harbor]

its the first bf with a vector ?

[slim quiver]

Yes look at her go

[jade plaza]

It looks like a butcher and a rap artist had sex

[torpid shuttle]

RTX2060 as minimum spec...

[dim blade]

that's reccomended

not minium

[sullen inlet]

I think hardline had one aswl@tropic harbor

[dim blade]

minimum is gtx 1050ti

[tropic harbor]

oho

[nova ice]

no 2060 is recommended

[torpid shuttle]

I mean if they change RTX2060 to minimum spec.

[tropic harbor]

I know a lot of peoples with 1050 ti

[tame cobalt]

i assume the specs can't be final yet since they're probably not done with optimisation

[bold magnet]

Can you play at bf 2042 with the 1050 ti ?

[dim blade]

Why would they?

[slim quiver]

I don’t think the pre order skins will be a good indicator of what we see down the line for customization

[nova ice]

if anything the specs should go down with optimisation

[jade plaza]

1050ti is min spec 2060 is recommended

[high gulch]

How can i sign in for the early access? I got gold ed

[sudden wasp]

thats only for the play test, so dont bet on it

[sudden otter]

f u dice -_-

[dim blade]

Why would DICE curb their PC market by making a game that only a small portion of PC gamers can run

Not everyone has 20 or 30 series cards

[sudden wasp]

just buy a 30 series and u are fine

[jade plaza]

@high gulch you don’t they em send you a email and they have already gone out

[tiny wharf]

good joke

[sudden otter]

I waste my money by pre ordering

[jade plaza]

You have 4k for a 3080

[nova ice]

yeah looking at the visuals in 2042 they actually dont look much, if any better than bf4

[sudden wasp]

if u arent willing to pay a bit more, its ur problem

[dim blade]

uhh?

[sudden otter]

they want fu******** 2060 -_-

[dim blade]

someone just replied to me but i could not read it

[nova ice]

bit higher res textures, bit better lighting

[potent lynx]

omg

[high gulch]

So no luck for me i guess 😢

[potent lynx]

moderator typing

[sudden wasp]

i didnt even pay 1k

[dim blade]

Im eventually getting a 3070ti

right now i have gtx 1070 tho xD

I think i should still be able to run it

[slim quiver]

The thing is you can’t expect 5 year old GPU’s to be the go to when we just had a generational shift. Those consoles aren’t by any means weak. PC players also have to upgrade their stuff. Companies won’t just sit back and hold things back forever

[torpid shuttle]

It's not finally product. So it is possible to change minimum spec right?​

[slow kraken]

Yeah

[jade plaza]

If I’m going to upgrade it will be my whole pc for the next 5 years not a half ass parts here and there

[nova ice]

tbh, the 2042 gameplay trailer looks like bf4 with raytracing and tesselaltion

[high gulch]

Not every one got the money for it lol

[stiff pollen]

Get money

[nova ice]

and a bit more density

[tame cobalt]

gotta wait for beta like the rest of us

[high gulch]

I mean i do but others

[dim blade]

Yeah but usually it goes the other way around, weaker not stronger

[slim quiver]

And although that is true, they’re not really thinkin about that

[tiny wharf]

tf u on about? for one it's rarely avaliable and it's way overpriced. Power consumption is also pretty high. There's more money important things to save and spend for in life than a overpriced card to play a video game

[sudden wasp]

then they gotta sit out, complaining doesnt help

[stiff pollen]

Who cares this hobby is expensive

[jade plaza]

Honestly it’s been 5 years it’s time to save up and upgrade

[slow kraken]

buy a xbox one or ps4 then

[slim quiver]

Gaming has become a luxury hobby over the years

[slow kraken]

You still have that choice

[urban nimbus]

What are the specs?

[trail scaffold]

HI

[high gulch]

I have the money for it but i just meant the others lol

[sudden wasp]

if that is the case, why is everyone complaining? stop crying then. i got my 30 series easily and i cant be the only one

[slim quiver]

If you can’t afford a PC, then you have to stick to consoles which are just more easily affordable

[nova ice]

@slim quiver not really, pc aming USED to be a luxury hobby, now its more accessible than ever

[sudden wasp]

and i got mine when at the supposed worst time

[arctic grove]

To an extent I agree that not everyone can afford to upgrade etc, however if we always live in the mentality of the people who can't get new upgrades, then we will always live in a world where the games and products are forced to not be its truest potential.

[jade plaza]

Yaboiii go do a paper run or make Etsy penguins for bf2942

[sudden wasp]

or this

[fierce fulcrum]

Will battlefield 2042 be moddable?

[urban nimbus]

It was hard to get and I got a 3090 instead of a 3070Ti.

[tame cobalt]

the minimum spec would go down not up. since they're still optimising it

[slim quiver]

PC gaming is not really a super affordable thing if you’re trying to play everything max at triple AAA

[torpid shuttle]

Nah I just worry they will change spec higher in the future.

[tiny wharf]

Because people want to be able to play a cool new game without needing to fork over thousands of dollars of Overpriced hardware thats gonna be replaced a year later

[slim quiver]

Otherwise people wouldn’t say “why do I have to upgrade”

[nova ice]

oh of course, max details is a luxury

[slim quiver]

Accessibility is consoles

PC building has always been quite pricey

[nova ice]

but pc gaming is more accessible than ever

[slim quiver]

Yeah it is

[nova ice]

you used to have to upgrade your gpu every year

to get 60fps

[arctic grove]

Not anymore

[jade plaza]

Specs will go up as they don’t want people to be able to have shit graphics which give them a advantage with no grass or seeing through smoke

[arctic grove]

🧐

[nova ice]

and then still be lucky to get 60fps at max details

[slim quiver]

The thing is people don’t want to upgrade GPU’s from 4 years ago

[arctic grove]

I got a 2 year old CPU and it will still work for another 3 years.

[slim quiver]

Even tho we just had a generation change

[sudden wasp]

but i thought there were other, more important things? so either save the money if you really want to play your favorite game which necessitates high end hardware or stop complaining and move on with ur life

[dim blade]

Ok i did some research

[potent lynx]

why would they call a ghille suit

kiwi

like wtf

[dim blade]

GTX 1070 outclasses gtx 1050 ti heavily

[sudden wasp]

and i dont believe its "thousands of dollars", maybe over 1k sure

[jade plaza]

If you go out a work you could afford a new gpu by the time it came out

[slim quiver]

Most of the time PC gamers are allowed to skip upgrades for so long because devs are also adhering to console limitations

[dim blade]

So i should be able to run it on low/medium settings?

[slim quiver]

Depends on the performance you want

[tiny wharf]

Not in Australia

[sudden wasp]

like are the really prices over 2k or 3k dollars?

[potent matrix]

Idunno

[sudden wasp]

thats a whole pc

[arctic grove]

possibly, it also depends on your CPU.

[dim blade]

i5-10600

[nova ice]

well put it this way, most modern multiplayer shooter games have lower visual quality than games like bf3 10 years ago

[arctic grove]

Yeah you'll be alright on Low / Medium mate

[jade plaza]

I mean a 3080 in Australia is 3/4k

[dim blade]

great!

[potent matrix]

Lift my curse

[nova ice]

and have optionals like raytracing and tessellation

[sullen inlet]

The best

[slim quiver]

I got a 3090 FTW3 at MSRP and that was the price of my computer build back in 2009 alone for just a GPU

[sudden wasp]

if you check more than 1 website then you can surely get one

[slow kraken]

If devs just made all their games without improvements and need for better hardware, then we would still be stuck in the PS1 days

[serene sinew]

Pog

https://youtu.be/_KnccbuDvt4

How is everyone?

[tiny wharf]

3090s going for $3000 Australian

[arctic grove]

@dim blade I do recommend to upgrade you GPU at some point. AMD or NVIDIA are great options, if you need more help with that I am more than happy to talk to you about that.

[jade plaza]

What was that game bricking 3090’s, new world?

[slow kraken]

You can't expect games to get bigger and better and still run on your 5 year old hardware

[jade plaza]

Bricking*

[slim quiver]

New world was tagging a whole ton of cards

[spark acorn]

I'm back cuz.

[sudden wasp]

what does a 3060 cost in aus?

[slim quiver]

Even the 6800 and 6900 and 3080ti

[nova ice]

@slow kraken i agree, but for years they were chasing visuals over new gameplay mechanics and tech

[arctic grove]

hm?

[spark acorn]

$900+

[slim quiver]

It had something to do with their uncap

[nova ice]

so gameplay wise weve been stuck in 2005 while game visually got better

[spark acorn]

No, not like that what.

[jade plaza]

1/2 k I think

[sudden wasp]

there you go, if you dont wanna spend 3k on a 3090, buy another 30 series

[slow kraken]

Yeah and visuals for games have kind of almost hit their peak in many ways. There isn't the huge graphical leaps we were seeing like 10 years ago

[sullen inlet]

The reason 2060 is recommended is because it supports DLSS which is a free performance boost for your games.

[spark acorn]

Just get a 3060 Ti.

[arctic grove]

a 3060 Ti in Australia costs $1,099 and higher

[sudden wasp]

doesnt have to be 3090/80/70

[slim quiver]

Either way when you’re building a computer now, yes pc building is more accessible. But that will never mean people don’t need to upgrade PCs ever. You 100% need to upgrade PCs eventually

[dim blade]

Im already eyeing a gpu upgrade, rtx 3070ti

[arctic grove]

An excellent choice

[dim blade]

i work in a computer parts store so i can get it a bit cheaper

[nova ice]

yeah, but ive noticed in the last 2 or 3 years, visual fidelity has started to go a little backwards in favor of higher framerate and newer gameplay tech/physics/animation

[jade plaza]

If your using a 710 I’m sorry sir but I’m surprised it ain’t caught fire yet

[arctic grove]

Aye that's a good upgrade mate, from a GTX 1070

[sudden wasp]

id rather spend more money and have good high end stuff then going for old stuff

[potent matrix]

Lol

[sullen inlet]

I will upgrade my PC for GTA VI or SC, whatever comes first

[dim blade]

a bit overkill since im still on 1080p monitor

[slim quiver]

That’s because HDMI 2.1 hasn’t been all that wide spread yet

[potent matrix]

I got 1660 super tho

[spark acorn]

Better to spend 100 more on better performance on a 3060 ti than a 3060.

[spark acorn]

1660 gang

[dim blade]

but ill eventually get a bigger monitor too

[sudden wasp]

for students it sucks but if you have a job theres no way you can never get to save 1k dollars

[arctic grove]

I agree, I say if you are already spending 1k, what is 100 dollars more?

[nova ice]

what does hdmi have to do with it @slim quiver

[sudden wasp]

people here seem to act like 1k = 1 million dollars

[slim quiver]

When you start seeing 4K monitors getting 1 ms and 144 hz and are priced at like 700-800 dollars, you will see a lot of high fidelity builds @nova ice

[arctic grove]

1k is a lot of money @sudden wasp

[jade plaza]

HDMI will soon be legacy for display port

[potent matrix]

Big oooof

[sudden wasp]

im not saying it isnt, but its also not 10k

[arctic grove]

No but not everyone has 10k xD

[tiny wharf]

The guys just a snob

[dim blade]

1k is like 1,25x paycheck for me

[potent matrix]

2K@240 is better imo

[slate sparrow]

Laptops in my country have a 3060 with an i5 for only $1.1k

[tiny wharf]

as if money is easy to come by

[sudden wasp]

what do you think how many months would it take to save 1k?

[arctic grove]

If everyone had money we'd all get a RX 6900 or 3090

[dim blade]

depends on your income, how much do you make in a month?

[slim quiver]

Yeah the thing is money just isn’t easy to just get. To build a computer can take years of saving

[arctic grove]

^^^

Even budget is pricey

[slim quiver]

I saved 5 years for my recent build

[arctic grove]

tbh

[dim blade]

Tell that to my punkass luckiest mfking friend who won a jackpot in a casino xD

[sudden wasp]

ive saved quite a lot, so i could get a 3090 right after my next paycheck

[arctic grove]

Budget computers range from 1-3k

[slim quiver]

That’s based

[signal lintel]

Imagine spending $2k+ to play console games

[sudden wasp]

but i went for a cheaper 3070

[torpid shuttle]

If there is some in stock too

[tiny wharf]

When people got bills, mortgage, rent, groceries and taxes it hardly leaves much to save

[potent matrix]

Damn I worked 2 jobs for 3 months to get my mid-range buikd

[dim blade]

mfker bought a car and a new pc

[potent matrix]

Then witcher 3 sucked my life

[slim quiver]

Even 3K is starting to get into high end territory tbh

[nova ice]

im not talking resolution, im talking actual game detail, polygon counts have gone down for maps and up for player models and items (so good looking microstranctions), texture resolutions havnt gone up by much or even gone down, post processing is more subtle and devs have been experimenting with more robust gameplay and larger player counts instead

[arctic grove]

Aye, that is another problem all together.

[jade plaza]

I’m back

[arctic grove]

Oh 100%, that ain't cheap

[sudden wasp]

because i chose wqhd

[slim quiver]

Oh this is true. I mean I think that will change with new generation

[naive trellis]

Eh same, hopefully I can trade up to a 3090, or just sell it now and hold the money till prices drop

[sullen inlet]

Wqhd best for 27inchers

[urban nimbus]

Got a new wallpaper to put on my phone, thxs!

[jade plaza]

What does the green role do @slim quiver

[sudden wasp]

why would you?

idk if its worth it

[slim quiver]

What green role?

[slow kraken]

I built a RTX3070, RYZEN 7 3700X, 16GB RAM, 2TB M.2 build for like 1500

[potent matrix]

[nova ice]

tbh everything ive seen thats new gen looks like good looking games 5 to 10 years ago

[naive trellis]

I want a pimax headset, so I'd need as much GPU horsepower as I can get

[jade plaza]

@slim quiver the one @potent matrix has

[arctic grove]

Beta soon?

[slim quiver]

That’s a good deal

[sudden wasp]

and if the prices are that high in australia, i would assume the wages/salaries are also higher like in switzerland (they complain in the same way)

so i bet its not much different from the situation here in germany

[slim quiver]

He is a server booster. He can post images, embedded links and use some server commands like !when

[nova ice]

they want everyone to play it at at least 30fps

[tiny wharf]

Its high because theres barely any stock.

[sudden wasp]

oh i see. i dont want that so i will keep my 3070

[tiny wharf]

and borders a shut coz of covid

[torpid shuttle]

!when

[jade plaza]

@naive trellis is there only one wave of invites going out

[nova ice]

more numbers, more microtransactions sold

[tropic harbor]

posting images here is a art and a kind of flex

[naive trellis]

Can't really disclose anything, sorry

[sudden wasp]

in that case theres not much you can do i guess. sucks to be in australia

[jade plaza]

Battle passes are the new micro transactions

[potent matrix]

And that one would be ?

[arctic grove]

Do not make him break the NDA!

EA will hunt you down

[slim quiver]

Battlepasses are actually a customer friendly feature that I think is largely misunderstood

[sullen inlet]

EA will send hitmen after you

[jade plaza]

Your green name

[torpid shuttle]

Want anime gun skin. I am anime lover.

[nova ice]

they want little timmy with a 10 year old hand me down pc from his dad to run games these days

[arctic grove]

Yeah if its strictly cosmetic only etc.

[potent matrix]

Oh yeah I boosted the server

[tropic harbor]

Tom Handerson said that the people who got invited arent guarenteed in the play test and there will be like 20k people in the test

[slim quiver]

Oh yeah absolutely

[potent matrix]

And picked a color

[tame cobalt]

the worst part is the FOMO

[jade plaza]

@slim quiver never said it was bad I much prefer them over loot boxes

[tiny wharf]

yeah its not like Europe where every country is connected by land.

[dim blade]

@arctic grove Is the ZOTAC variant of the 3070ti worth it? that's the cheapest one

Or should i just buy the ASUS variant

[urban nimbus]

Ryzen 7 2700x, RTX 3090, 16GB ram, 4TB HDD, 1TB SSD, and 256GB SSD. So lucky to get the 3090 for $1,499. Cyber Monday I’m upgrading my CPU to intel i9.

[slim quiver]

Absolutely

[sullen inlet]

@tropic harbor gib code

[arctic grove]

I’d hardly call it customer friendly, but it’s certainly the best system we’ve had more recently compared to the loot box gambling systems

[tropic harbor]

?

[arctic grove]

Pretty sure it will be alright!

[tame cobalt]

Better than loot boxes and dlc passes

[jade plaza]

@naive trellis I understand all good

[dim blade]

ZOTAC RTX 3070Ti AMP Holo 8GB GDDR6X 256bit LHR 3DP/HDMI

[arctic grove]

ASUS IS probably more reliable, due to it being ASUS

[dim blade]

that's the full name

[slim quiver]

The idea that I can pay for the next pass if I complete the first one I like tbh

[nova ice]

@dim blade i always go for the cheapest brand of the card i want

[snow sandal]

Battle passes are terrible. They are lazy and overpriced. Everyone gets the same things (no showing off) and you are forced to complete it within a time frame (unlike DLC assignements).

[slim quiver]

It’s better than paying for DLC and it’s better than lootboxes

[nova ice]

theyre fine, just dont expect any overclocking headroom

[slow kraken]

Why the low CPU and high GPU?

[naive trellis]

Friend has it, it works absolutely great.

[urban nimbus]

Yes, but personally I would go for MSI. My old gpu which was a 1660 Ti, had it for 2-3 years and it’s still working fine.

[naive trellis]

Only 5C higher temps than my 3070 X Trio

[tropic harbor]

yes but I think they are cheap in 2042 bc u get all for a whole year if u pay 10$ more

[sudden wasp]

https://www.mwave.com.au/searchresult?button=go&w=rtx+3090&af=

they have all the cards in stock it looks like

[nova ice]

it will work just as well as higher tier brands if they wernt factory overclocked

[sudden wasp]

so in the end its all about the money

[tame cobalt]

the limited time aspect is the only thing i don't like

[dim blade]

oh nvm, there is one even cheaper

Palit Graphics card RTX 3070Ti GamingPro 8G B GDDR6X 256bit 3DP/HDMI LHR 839€

[snow sandal]

DLC is far better in terms of getting quality content.

I am yet to see a free live service model where the content is as good as paid DLC. Yes, it can split up the playerbase, but content quality and quantity plummets.

[arctic grove]

Really comes down to the preferences of the individual. If someone can’t grind out the full pass it sucks for them compared to just getting dlc, but yeah a lot better than loot boxes and I’m alright with battle passes

[nova ice]

yes

[slim quiver]

Showing off can still be done. That’s why skin bundles exist. But at least those I get what I pay for. no RNG no guessing games

[nova ice]

palit

i always go palit @dim blade

[dim blade]

that's the cheapest 3070ti

[sudden wasp]

i just checked prices here in germany and the 3070 costs 990€ (cheapest) and the 3090 1.990€ (cheapest)

[tiny wharf]

yeah. We are in Lockdown here and theres not much work going on

[nova ice]

and they actually make really good quality

[jade plaza]

Penguins when, we want a game with a realistic view of climate change imagine “it’s 2042 and oil is gone and waters are rising, the north poll has melted and the penguins have come for revenge on humans” que the title card battle wild 2042

[sudden wasp]

so the 3090 costs 2k euros here

[arctic grove]

You in NSW as well?

[nova ice]

they are actually gainward

or part of gainward

[slim quiver]

Oh absolutely, that’s why finding out the right speed for grinding or providing more opportunities if your behind would be a great addition to battlepasses

[nova ice]

my 1080ti is palit

[frail sparrow]

1 tank vs 64 pinguins

[snow sandal]

Lol, showing off a paid skin is just stupid. No one actually thinks that it is cool. Completing a difficult assignment and getting the camo, weapon etc. is far better. You can actually show it off.

[slim quiver]

Depends on how much support the game gets imo

[nova ice]

my previous gtx 670 was palit too

[urban nimbus]

So about a week ago I went to Best Buy rlly early in the morning. Waiting in a line for a gpu, hoping to get a 3070. Instead they ran out of tickets and I got a 3090 ticket. I had the money for both so I said fuck it I’ll buy it. At least after my cpu upgrade my rig is future proof.

[snow sandal]

Ever played BF4?

[tiny wharf]

yep

[arctic grove]

The system in halo is the most consumer friendly I’ve seen a triple a game in a long time

[dim blade]

i guess i will see how the game runs on gtx 1070 during the beta

[arctic grove]

I disagree completely

[dim blade]

and then judge how fast should i do the upgrade

[sudden wasp]

the 20 series should work as well

[arctic grove]

same mate 😭

[slow kraken]

Ah nice one

[jade plaza]

That’s to op against a tank

[snow sandal]

Of course, but I am yet to see one game that does that

[nova ice]

i think youll be fine on the 1070

[frail sparrow]

they're both just still skins, noone is gonna look at your skins bra xd

[nova ice]

just turn the details down

[vernal harness]

im more worried about cpu performance with 128

[tiny wharf]

how are you holding up?

[vernal harness]

lotta dudes in 1 map

[nova ice]

ill be running all on lowest more than likeley on my 1080ti, at 1440p, high textures

how i run all games, even cs go

[snow sandal]

If the camo on your helicopter is from a difficult assignment it shows other players your skill etc

[slim quiver]

I mean completing a battlepass can be an achievement since most can’t do it. It’s not like most people care about what type of skin you have. Jealousy in games isn’t big in shooters. If this was an MMO where things are % drops with difficulty attached that would be one thing. Don’t see how showing off fits into BF

[arctic grove]

The Gov payment recently has been really nice, otherwise I am bored as hell and keen to work again. But I guess Uni is keeping me busy while I chat here lmao

[urban nimbus]

Yeah I’m never going to do that again tho, the people that work there bs with there words. Like they said the tickets would be void after 10 and it’s 10:13 but they wouldn’t give me a 3070.

[jade plaza]

I hate kids who turn down graphics to get a advantage, like the ones messing with the nvidia graphics settingss so it looks like a 2003 flash game

[slow kraken]

That sucks, I would of been raging

[arctic grove]

Tbh is seems silly to me that they don’t put some of the best content behind an impressive grind. Player retention is a massive deal for companies but they just focus on that short term crappy bundle

[vernal harness]

There will be both, what is the point you are trying to make?

cosmetics in multiplayer games are here to stay

[snow sandal]

Did you play BF4? The cool camos you could get for weapons and vehicles were from assignments, instead of being from a paid battle pass which literally shows you played for a long time, rather than having skill

[ruby imp]

Morning lads, I think getting difficult skins is cool, you are dismissed

[vernal harness]

free dlc with paid cosmetic options is fine, better than map packs few people buy

[urban nimbus]

Yep. MF where sleeping outside the store on a Sunday to get a gpu the next day.

[jade plaza]

I’m not sure about the midnight skins, it loooks like a butcher in a wing suit had intercourse with a DJ and a EDM rave

[tiny wharf]

Yeah. Im a Apprentice Mechanic and since everyone is home and paranoid, no one is driving their cars. Online TAFE also sucks ass and is only 1 hour a week

[snow sandal]

That cosmetics attained from actual skill/assignments are far better than simply paying for them

[vernal harness]

Okay and those will still be in 2042

like the Gold ones in BFV

[fading flame]

hey

[ruby imp]

Is it true that cars break often when you don't use it regularly?

[slim quiver]

I never really liked BF4, nor did I care about any camo in that game. I used default guns because I don’t like camos, nor does the kill cam reflect what the persons camo really was tbh so it didn’t really matter. I remember BF1’s gun challenges but that was hardly impressive as some people rigged those challenges against their friends

[snow sandal]

I'm just stating it, that's all. I'm sure it will be in BF2042. I pray bf4 assignment system returns

[arctic grove]

Reminds me of the mw2 days of people boosting in ffa

[vernal harness]

yeah you almost never see anything in bf4, the cosmetics are 99% pointless

[slim quiver]

Remember when people had their friends hop into planes on the enemy team and they’d be shot down by other friends to get the parabellum?

[radiant prism]

Hot take, gold camo's look like shit

[vernal harness]

agree

[slim quiver]

Gold camos are the worst

[fading flame]

^

[radiant prism]

They don't go with anything

[slim quiver]

I remember this

[slim quiver]

Yup nothing changes

[fading flame]

the camos in bf4 are better imo

[vernal harness]

there were like 2 half decent gold skins in bfv, most were so ugly

[snow sandal]

Lol what. Have you even looked at a vehicle in BF4? All the skins can be put on the vehicles.

[radiant prism]

I can respect the grind of getting the gold camos, but they don't match with any uniforms

[jade plaza]

I mean yes but I want a rainbow flag so homophobic kids rage when I kill them

[ruby imp]

They are meme camos, I'm ok as long as they are kept as easter eggs

[vernal harness]

im talking about soldier cosmetics brother @snow sandal

[slim quiver]

Skins on vehicles never really stood out to me in BF4

[vernal harness]

obviously you can see tanks

[radiant prism]

Hopefully customizable player emblems come back

[slim quiver]

I also play a lot of rush, I don’t like conquest

So if someone had a tank skin I wouldn’t notice

[jade plaza]

Yes and no there was a lot of not cool logos aka red arm band sort of stuff

[ruby imp]

I like adaptative camos in vehicles

[dim blade]

I played conquest until they revealed breakthrough on BF1

[slim quiver]

I never realized tanks had skins in BF4 until recently because I’ve never stepped foot in one so I had no clue I could customize them

[dim blade]

Now i only like to play breakthrough

i cant spell it lmao

[snow sandal]

Well could we not all agree that cosmetics attained through work, instead of simply paying for them is a far better system?

[radiant prism]

Nah you got it, its breakthrough

[arctic grove]

ugh, shame indeed. We got to stay patient my friend, we'll get there eventually

[fading flame]

you spelt it right

[radiant prism]

Although on BF1 its technically Operations

[slim quiver]

Nope because most of them obtained through work look like default camos

[vernal harness]

do you not want paid cosmetics? again what is the point

[fading flame]

Really?

[slim quiver]

All call of duty skins I’ve earned through work usually look gaudy or like crap, vs themed skin packs that change the entire weapons look

[vernal harness]

because they either sell paid cosmetics or we get some other awful monetization

[snow sandal]

Why not make them free and you get them through assignments

[radiant prism]

BFV has Breakthrough which is basically what Operations was with a few minor changes.

[vernal harness]

so you want map packs for $$$ again?

[slim quiver]

How would they make money?

[frail sparrow]

those topographic black ones are dope though

kinda damascus-y

[slim quiver]

Oh okay yeah you got me there

[tiny wharf]

Yeah it can. If a car hasn't been turned on in a while the battery may need a jumpstart because it hasn't been turned on in a while and needs to be charged by the alternator. Engine oil, coolant also slowly looses it's ideal form and degrades which is why Engine oil needs to be changed every 6 months usually even when u don't reach the service kms. Brake fluid also gets moisture in it's lines overtime and needs to be changed every 2 years no matter what other your foot will hit the floor every time you press the brakes

[jade plaza]

It’s not like your forced to buy them, if you want them you work for them and earn them the money only allows you to do that. And it’s one payment not a lot of small ones

[fading flame]

There some good skins in MW imo

[jade plaza]

Also battle pass didn’t promote skin gambling

[slim quiver]

The thing is they need to make money somehow

[snow sandal]

That's not a valid argument. The devs make the paid ones look good for a reason.

If the good skins were attainable through assignemtns that would be far better.

Stupid point

[slim quiver]

Oh no doubt

[slim quiver]

But it isn’t

[vernal harness]

there are plenty of good skins attainable through play in BFV
