battlefield-2042

[shy rapids]

DICE said it takes 6-12 months to make a new map

[sacred wolf]

Thx

[shy rapids]

Because of how big it is

[potent matrix]

np

[torpid shuttle]

Wait what?

That's too long.

[west osprey]

Some maps are either being made by some other team, or they have held it back for content drop

pre obv

[onyx plume]

key

[sacred wolf]

True

[lofty shore]

6-12?

[shy rapids]

Well it's a new map so yeah

[arctic grove]

A season lasts a month or more anyways, more than enough time for them to design a map. AND I am pretty sure they have already started so we'll be fine

[shy rapids]

They're big

[lofty shore]

how did they shit out a bunch of dlcs for every past game?

around every year each with 4 maps

[royal onyx]

each BF could easily last 3-5 years and still maintain profitability to a massive scale, make something good and players will come and stay. there will always be cheaper players, and whales, and everything inbetween

[cosmic radish]

This one will last 5 years

[west osprey]

As long as Portal and Hazard zone are transferred to the next game, 2 years is fine for a new battlefield as long as its made right. If not, take 3 years

[shy rapids]

Exactly, but sadly guess what? They want to throw it all away for a new game. This sucks

[lofty shore]

bf3 and 4 alive

i dont think 2 years is fine

[shy rapids]

A season is 3 months, which is half of the time it takes to make a map in 6 months, and less then half for 12 months

[shy rapids]

Same

[royal onyx]

nah, new games in a series every 1-2 years is bad for your rep, and bad for your devs honestly. Assassin creed and cod have had HORRIBLE rep because of this

[shy rapids]

GTA 5 is smart, they may not be the best but they know how to keep a game alive

[west osprey]

They have already started making post maps, u really think theyll start when they release bf 2042 lol

[arctic grove]

I highly doubt it will take them HALF a year to make a map 😂

[stark nacelle]

AAAAAAA EA WRITERS!!!!! TERAFLOPS IS A MEASURE OF PROCESSING SPEED NOT DATA VOLUME!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH

[shy rapids]

Uh yes... it will. Do you think Warzone took a month to be made?

[west osprey]

They obv have kept some maps back to release later as content drop

Every devs do that

[steady current]

models, textures, destruction. U think this is motherfaking game?

[arctic grove]

That is exactly what they are doing.

[cosmic radish]

Let's hope it's not a next COD and there will be AC but offcourse there won't

[shy rapids]

It will definitely take them half a year TO a year to make a new map

[royal onyx]

for example, I LOVE the fast pace COD style of fps, I truely believe no one does it better... but I refuse to support their new game every year and completed drop the previous one + massive cash shop over the top insanity. So I refuse to play and support them.

[shy rapids]

We don't know that

[west osprey]

every year is obv too much

[arctic grove]

Not sure I understand your comment

[cosmic radish]

Bots vs cheaters

[steady current]

it sure takes a lot of time to make map

[arctic grove]

Squid, it would be so silly of them to not do that?!

They are over a thousand of employees working on that game

[shy rapids]

Exactly dude, speaking facts but yes, I don't want to buy a BF game that I appreciate DICE for making for, and then move on to their next game as if I don't care about all the time and work they put into THAT BF game

[arctic grove]

They have a dedicated team that just works on designing maps.

[stark mason]

AAAAAAA EA WRITERS!!!!! TERAFLOPS IS A MEASURE OF PROCESSING SPEED NOT DATA VOLUME!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH
@stark nacelle it's "petaoctet" in french somehow

[shy rapids]

So?

[cosmic radish]

BF2042 will be delayed

[shy rapids]

Still is going to take them half a year to make a new map

[arctic grove]

More people, less time it takes to make something

[stark nacelle]

And they apparently just corrected it to petabytes as well

[steady current]

but thousand people dont work at making maps. There is long process

[shy rapids]

Depends though

[west osprey]

but 2-3 years is fine, because the gamers and EA need to come to share. EA needs money from it selling the premium 60 bucks game. And im not loving EA here, but at the end of the day, these games are made to make money and dont compare to other low key indie devs, this is a multi million dollar company with high investments

[shy rapids]

No, 2 years isn't fine

And 3 is wack, 5+ is fine to me

[west osprey]

lol 5 are u good

That will never happen

[arctic grove]

A thousand people will not work on a map, but several hundreds will. And I garantee that they have already began working on future maps to save time. Again they have been working on this for 3 years, why just stop at the bare minimum.

[steady current]

i think they will go like COD. BF every 2 years but "warzone = hazard zone" will be ported/updated to new game

[royal onyx]

that is exactly why time between main title games should be 3 years at the min, if not 4.

[west osprey]

100%

with portal

[arctic grove]

Plus once they have all the assets and more, plus with AI they can build maps quicker and more efficiently.

[shy rapids]

Uh you do know that you can make money without making a new game? Do you pay any attention at all? Do you not see how much GTA 5 is making without making another game?

[shy rapids]

Of course but it should

[steady current]

• portal will have every new game maps 😄

[royal onyx]

honestly what a ceo says on a sales call then is technically not supposed to be public, does not confirm the direction they are going so seriously take it with a grain of salt. Believe facts and official annoucements

[west osprey]

Do u know Gta online is technically a pay to win game as well

so if u want pay to win in battlefield sure

[torpid shuttle]

There is 30 maps in BF 4
There is 29 maps in BF 1
There is 20 maps in BF V
There is ?? maps in BF 2042

[west osprey]

If EA could add microtransactions in everything, they will be happy to release games every 5 years

[steady current]

about 255 maps in main bf series

[sacred wolf]

Sheesh, the number of Maps is sinking

[royal onyx]

I just listed 5+ games that are not pay to min that make millions with insane playerbase that are under 30 or free, stahppppppp.

[late lark]

Bf5 had a messy release

[west osprey]

only cause bfv plugged got pulled early

[royal onyx]

laughs in bf4 on console

[torpid shuttle]

Don't forget... they will add map for BF2042 and BF portal. It's mean they get a really hard work

[late lark]

Didnt stand well with the comm

It wasnt the bugs

[sacred wolf]

Aaa oooh ok

[west osprey]

indie devs, they operate much different to multi million companies like EA

operational management wise etc

[late lark]

It was the "dont like it, dont buy it"

That got many

[west osprey]

They have investors to report to

[steady current]

they should go with 3 teams like activision to make cod games. But Ripple effect is making own game

[cosmic radish]

In Portal you don't rank up or get xp right ?

[late lark]

You can rank in portal

[cosmic radish]

Lol

[royal onyx]

did you just call valve and riot indie devs? what are you smoking lol troll

[cosmic radish]

Modded lobbies

[late lark]

Dice says they have measures for that

So we will see

[cosmic radish]

Dice don't have AC at all

[tame cobalt]

dice can make a battlefield every 2 years if they weren't making battlefront at the same time

[torpid shuttle]

If DICE add map editor for us, BF2042 will have 99+ maps !!!

[astral marsh]

I saw something about another bf game being released 2 years from now or something like that lol

[late lark]

99+ only?

[west osprey]

Do Valve and Riot have AAA games, Valve makes most of their money through steam that is there basis of earnings and plus csgo

[sacred wolf]

Yea,p a few remastered maps, the BF2042 Maps, and some Maps comming in the future.

All the remastered Grafik, destroy funktion and more ....

Its realy a hard work👍 they are meaking a good job for us players

[steady current]

battlefront is just copy and paste + additional content. It wont take much time to develop 3

[astral marsh]

But I guess I can’t be shocked by that lol

[tame cobalt]

perhaps

[west osprey]

Valve and Riot are so much diff to EA lmao

[torpid shuttle]

99 maps

[tame cobalt]

i like star wars but battlefront just feels like an inferior battlefield

[astral marsh]

I mean battlefront is just battlefield with just a Star Wars skin over it

[steady current]

battlefront was fun when i was a kid

[west osprey]

I think EA can do 3 years and they should, but people asking 5+ are really being dumb and fantasing about something that will never happen

[late lark]

Ps2 battlefront was better.

Probably nostalgia

[royal onyx]

yup, they both have triple A games, riot is one of the biggest companies in gaming today ( by scale of profit). Just because valve does put out a new game every year doesn't mean they dont do work. CS go still makes insane money but of course there main focus these days are storefront. CS GO still stands today as a testament to making a good game and the players will stay. you dont need a new game every 1-2 years dude.

[craggy marten]

How much is memory is 10 petabytes?

[royal onyx]

ya, they know how to make long last games that have insane profitability without new entries every few years. wild

[astral marsh]

Imagine battlefront 2 OG version with today’s graphics lol

[west osprey]

u do know those games cost to produce is so low compared to battlefield lmao

[craggy marten]

Battlefront 2²

[west osprey]

Battlefield's marketing prob spends more than the whole budget of Valorant and CSGO production combined

Battlefield is such an expensive game to make

Cant just say to follow a plan of games which are diff scales

[royal onyx]

so they know how to make money and do it more affordably? EVEN MORE WILd hahaha

[craggy marten]

How do we know about the marketing costs?

[grand bane]

At approximately 7:30am, a No-Pat made out from Daesong Electronics with 30 teraflops of internal data from their headquarters in Songdo, South Korea on a stolen corporate helicopter.

[west osprey]

The trailers, hype generating, etc

There trailers are really expensive

Just promotion of the game is expensive

[craggy marten]

Literally "guys trust me"

[cosmic radish]

Not expensive lol

They just have resources

[craggy marten]

Meanwhile Raid Shadow Legends-

[west osprey]

Bro if u want a b-tech version of battlefield, u can play battlefield mobile

[late lark]

People are so goddamned focus on graphics. Of course games are going to be more expensive to produce.

[royal onyx]

bro your pretending like companies like Riot and Valve are big hittings the dev world. Valo is literally on track to be a 2BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS. get. out.

[lost lava]

What happened to china in bf2042? Did they collapse with the blackout or EA/DICE didn't want to offend the chinese market like battlefield 4?

[craggy marten]

BF5 looked like a movie, BF2042 gonna look like a documentary

[west osprey]

U cant be comparing battlefield and valorant, diff leagues

valorant aint shit compared to battlefield

[craggy marten]

Just get the 6 free additional graphical packs for your console and you'll be set.

[royal onyx]

no, they are not, they are in the same league, a live service game. Valo simply doesnt it better from a profit standpoint.

[tropic harbor]

hey

[royal onyx]

on track for 2billion in yearly sales, but ya Valorant (which I don't play personally so this isn't fanboyism) is trash. for sure

[west osprey]

Valorant is such a copy paste game idea as well, using csgos plant and defuse as its gameplay lmao

[arctic grove]

These stories are really cool and making me excited for 2042!

[royal onyx]

clearly doing it better where other games failed too 🙂

[royal onyx]

same! much excite

[west osprey]

Sure, Battlefield should start copying valorant and csgo

[torpid shuttle]

Hello

[west osprey]

Make conquest into plant and defuse

Sure

[royal onyx]

it would sure help them to look at their pricing structure if they were so worried about profits and how they handle the community for sure

[west osprey]

i cant...

[tame cobalt]

but movies look better than documentaries

[tropic harbor]

I think he sayed documentaries bc he thinks it will be scripted or smh like that

[chilly basalt]

DICE are the ones who made that game so it makes sense

[tropic harbor]

I dont like battlefront

It feel forced

[balmy nimbus]

when beta

[tame cobalt]

anyone does not want hazard zone to be like tarkov?

[arctic grove]

September

[pine roost]

So we got another specialist reveal today, but no hint as to their gadget

[arctic grove]

Yup

[tame cobalt]

tarkov is not nearly chill enough to be in my bf game

[arctic grove]

Just a name drop

[pine roost]

But given the context, they went in and stole ‘teraflops’ of data, makes it seem like another hacker, or an explosives specialist

[tame cobalt]

cuz if hazard zone has narrative stuff i might actually wanna play it but it sounds too sweaty for my taste

[arctic grove]

When you pull out your GPU and break the hatch lock

😦

oh well you technically don't need a hatch lock

[pine roost]

I’ve seen numerous articles and video thumbnails about hazard zone being fully live service, so it’ll need a gamemode that lots of people will enjoy. A tarkov experience is catered towards certain players

[tame cobalt]

ye

[cobalt agate]

Is there gonna be an open beta for bf2042?

[next onyx]

Yes

[royal onyx]

rumor mill puts it at mid sept, but unconfirmed so far I believe

[arctic grove]

When is the closed beta starting?

[lament pilot]

There's a closed alpha next week

[arctic grove]

Thx papi

[lament pilot]

more like a greybox pre-alpha

[severe hill]

skscraper destruction confirmed

just saw the new part

[wise zodiac]

Hi all

[next onyx]

Hallo!

[leaden umbra]

Just a question for the pre order: if you pre order 2042 can you play early access immediately or do you have to wait a certain time

[arctic grove]

Yes

[leaden umbra]

Yes to what?

[arctic grove]

U can play early if u pre order

[leaden umbra]

Ah thanks

[nova idol]

Not immediately

[leaden umbra]

Just wanted to know

[royal onyx]

ya, you get the game 7 days early from official launch day with preorder

[olive forge]

Once the early access is out

[arctic grove]

😩

[leaden umbra]

Oh still that is good

[nova idol]

2042 early launch access is like a week before the actual launch

iirc

[royal onyx]

yup that is correct

[leaden umbra]

Gives a chance to learn

[sullen inlet]

15th October for pre order

LETS GOOOO

[royal onyx]

same with open beta, you get early access if you have preorder

[nova idol]

And then early beta will be a few days before the open beta I believe

[royal onyx]

yes, just checked steam store page

[sullen inlet]

2 months and a week

Friday release

[nova idol]

Beta in september

[wise zodiac]

@next onyx I had a dream.. a dream of beans.

[royal onyx]

unconfirmed but that is the leak/assumption at this point

[nova idol]

No dice told people like jackfrags it was in september

[wise zodiac]

And then I woke up.. and have been at work for 4 hours.

[sullen inlet]

Beta in September is official

Lol

[nova idol]

No confirmed date though

[sullen inlet]

I expect mid sep

[lament pilot]

I mean if its not in september then there can't be a beta lol

[sullen inlet]

Better be

Or Im malding

[royal onyx]

feel free to direct me to official Dice posting of beta dates, but until then ima stick with unconfirmed. (love Jackfrags tho for sure)

[next onyx]

BEANS

[sullen inlet]

Does jackfrags even play the game

[nova idol]

Jackfrags and several other content creators were invited to a Q&A a few days before portal was revealed and the answer to "when is the beta" was september but no date

[steady current]

and will be delayed like alpha

[sullen inlet]

I just want to have some juicy matches in 2042

Base rape for hours

128 players will be bonkers

[young isle]

[royal onyx]

Im just happy maps will still have 64 player sizes too, custom lobby life to play the way you want. looking forward to the 128 player chaos tho!

[nova idol]

Only reason tech test was delayed was because they implemented crossplay

[steady current]

info?

[sullen inlet]

Only 2 or 3 from the new maps support 128 players

Not all

And prob non of portals maps

[royal onyx]

portal can play on any of the BF2042 maps, so I Assume that means the 128 mans

but ya I assume portal maps are 64 man as they were originally

[sullen inlet]

Imagine the a good heli pilot on a map with 128 players

Viper kingdom

[coral brook]

So uh, there are news articles (e.g. IGN) saying that there's a technical playtest on the 12th Aug, and they also released a bunch of info on pc specs required. Anyone know if this is true/real?

[royal onyx]

heres to hoping the smoke cooldown is longer then 12 seconds on helis honestly haha

[indigo igloo]

Do the 2042 maps have more players than halo infinite maps

[royal onyx]

yes, technical playtest invites sent out earlier this week/weekend

[sullen inlet]

Halo is ass

[radiant prism]

All main 2042 maps will have 128 players apiece, and from what it sounds like, the Portal maps will have variants/will allow for 128 players as well

[coral brook]

Thank you, appreciate it

[royal onyx]

I was hoping so, considering how much they have advertised 128 player lobbies.

[lament pilot]

This is the correct info.

[distant briar]

Why is beta for bf2042 so cheap

[royal onyx]

?

[lament pilot]

what do you mean cheap?

[distant briar]

5 dollars

[astral marsh]

Bad company 2 maps with 128 people about to be wild 😂😂

[radiant prism]

Open beta has been the standard for a few years now

[lament pilot]

5 bucks? Its will literally be free for everyone

[sullen inlet]

False

[radiant prism]

Valparaiso supposedly has a low tide version for more players

[sullen inlet]

But youll see soon

[astral marsh]

Give me 128 Arica harbor

[distant briar]

Lmao I know but still not that bad if you dont want to get a full game yet

[radiant prism]

Ok, guess the numerous official sources that have said otherwise are wrong

[lament pilot]

I'm gonna need evidence to back up your claims, pal. Just to be sure 😉

[radiant prism]

Source: trust me bro

[royal onyx]

didn't they say 128 players for portal during portal announcement officially? I didn't remember so I didnt wanna say confirmed

[astral marsh]

They have been advertising 128 a shit ton

[sullen inlet]

Source: the article from the bf2042 reveal

The first one lol

Long known

There are smaller maps

[astral marsh]

Like thirty main marketing appeal lol

[sullen inlet]

No way we get 128 players on them

[signal lintel]

Portal looks cool but no one will play

[lament pilot]

Dont you know DICE likes meatgrinders since BF3?

[royal onyx]

LOL tell us your not a BF fan and longtime player. without telling us your not a BF fan and longtime player

[radiant prism]

There are smaller maps, that doesn’t mean they’ll be restricted to lower player counts

[sullen inlet]

Dont you know DICE fucked up the BF series three consecutive times?

[astral marsh]

I want 128 on the old maps but i get why if they don’t

[sullen inlet]

Lets see the new BF first before fanboying

[signal lintel]

I've played them all except hardline champ

[astral marsh]

😂😂

[lament pilot]

Alright, alright, you're the expert. I'll just shut up.

[radiant prism]

Some big BF Boomer vibes coming through chat right now

[royal onyx]

its cool that you dont want to play portal, to each their own. but the hype speaks for itselves tbh. you do you boo

[lilac copper]

Ayo just joined this discord and just wanted to say ima bought to BUSSSss for bf2042

[marble bridge]

https://gamerant.com/battlefield-2042-beta-pc-system-requirements-test-date/

[astral marsh]

If your not hyped as fuck for portal as a bf fan I don’t know what to tell you

[signal lintel]

That 4v32 2042 v WW2 soldiers who wants to play as the WW2 guys?

No one will

[radiant prism]

Then you don’t have to play that mode lmao

[arctic grove]

Lol

[astral marsh]

Yeah you could player other modes lol

[lament pilot]

Bruh 1) I want to 2) That's not even close to the only option that will be available with Portal. Use your imagination smh

[royal onyx]

"here is 1 mode out of a whole sandbox we can do with literally 3 high tier bf games(plus 2042), weapons and maps....so its bad" lol come on bud, don't troll. its ok not to care yourself

[signal lintel]

Just an example

[arctic grove]

Why not make your own mode that you think is fun? You can do that

[radiant prism]

What, you think that’s one of the only possible modes? The entire point of portal is the infinite game mode possibilities

[astral marsh]

You could do anything you want in portal lol

[signal lintel]

Don't act like people don't just play operation metro over and over

[sterile tide]

Jets vs RPGs

[radiant prism]

Don’t like 4v32? Ok, find something that’s more interesting to you.

[sullen inlet]

I will create hardcore servers with HUD

[royal onyx]

you can even not load the game and just play pubs, its fine honest

[sullen inlet]

But low TTK is sex

[lament pilot]

I'll play BC2 24/7 Vanilla rotation a lot, that's for sure.

[arctic grove]

You’re just here to whine. Not to have a real conversation, just to complain and whine.

[royal onyx]

do it, know a good amount of ppl who like hardcore 1taps

[radiant prism]

I feel like I’m gonna try a bit of everything

[lament pilot]

Sign me up. I love hardcore, but like having at least some HUD.

[royal onyx]

SAME, looking forward to creative people giving me modes ot play nonstop because my creativity level with that kind of thing sucks

[radiant prism]

I’m more worried about Portal killing the main MP than I am about the main MP killing portal

[sullen inlet]

Nah, the game will have more than enough players at release

So many BF veterans coming back

[radiant prism]

I mean long run though

Like 2-3 years down the line

It’ll be just fine at launch though for sure

(Barring quality issues)

[sullen inlet]

Hmmm then its DICEs job to bring enough content to keep playin

[royal onyx]

I mean heck look at BF4 health in playerbase right now WITHOUT something like portal. TOP TIER

[signal lintel]

This discord will turn into pc trouble shooting at release

[radiant prism]

It already is tbh

At least once a day I see someone asking about PC issues

[sullen inlet]

Last BF I played was
Cant wait to play my assault with PDWs after 10 years

[royal onyx]

100%

[sullen inlet]

Thx DICE

[lament pilot]

Yeah, even if the game is bug-free, people with find issues. Always happens at launch week.

[radiant prism]

PC just has issues in general

[lament pilot]

I've been there with EA tech support lol

I play on pc, btw

[royal onyx]

ya, millions of players playing all at once def helps finding bugs, regardless of your QA teams ability

[radiant prism]

When people’s PCs aren’t up to spec

[royal onyx]

heres to hoping no major game breaking issues or massive server handle issues honestly.

[radiant prism]

That’s the thing I like about Console, way less hardware issues

[royal onyx]

and why console will always have a place in gaming. convience is everything

[radiant prism]

I see the PC master race guys are lurking

[royal onyx]

haha yuppppppppp

[signal lintel]

Yes dice and ea have a great launch track record im sure it will work flawlessly

[radiant prism]

What’s wrong? Afraid to actually have to defend a point?

[shy rapids]

Ah yes you're finally back

[radiant prism]

There will be a fair share of bugs, I’d be frankly shocked if this game is perfectly polished

[royal onyx]

love my PC tho, for me ill never main console game again just mostly switch. but you can't deny consoles place in gaming and what is has helped to turn this industry into what it is today. period

[radiant prism]

It’s too big to not have an issue or two

[royal onyx]

100%

[delicate hollow]

dice uses black magic to remove every bug

[shy rapids]

What do you think of the game only being alive for two years?

[delicate hollow]

its not going to be alive for 2 years

its got 3 years of live service planned

[radiant prism]

BF games have a history of lasting longer than their development life, so I'd imagine it could go a number of ways

[next onyx]

I would love a 3 year game cycle

If 2042 does well

[worldly star]

2 years is too little

[delicate hollow]

id be fine with this one lasting even longer

[radiant prism]

I'd pay more for 3 years of support tbh

[next onyx]

Its too short for games nowadays shibe

[radiant prism]

gladly

[astral marsh]

Going to be playing so much bad company 2 in portal for just like pure fucken nostalgia

[worldly star]

4 years seems like it would be good

[royal onyx]

ya, I would like to see 3-4 honestly.

[shy rapids]

Yeah but well EA did say "It probably makes sense to keep releasing a new BF game every 2 years"

[astral marsh]

Yeah 3-4 would be awesome

[shy rapids]

So I don't see the game lasting for awhile

[radiant prism]

Hopefully the community can talk them out of a 2 year cycle

[shy rapids]

I'd pay for 5+ years

[radiant prism]

If 2042 sells crazy well, it might talk them out of it and show that 3 years of development is the way to go

[royal onyx]

games clearly can sustain the profits with live content and be profitable over time, just gotta do it right and find what works best (no p2w kthx)

[next onyx]

Seeing that this game seems to be built to last who knows.

[radiant prism]

But...this is EA after all. God knows how this is gonna work out.

[royal onyx]

yup

[radiant prism]

Ultimately, only time will tell.

[proven hound]

Battlefield 2042 paves the way for a new era of gaming.

[shy rapids]

I hope so, but I would like to see the game be like CSGO, TF2, GTA 5 or something without it not getting the most out of the game

[shy rapids]

True

[royal onyx]

that is my worry. but I wont bash in advance. I genuinely want the game and franchise to do well because I enjoy it so much

[next onyx]

This game should keep me occupied for a long time

[shy rapids]

Same

[royal onyx]

100%

[shy rapids]

Yet they will still think if they should end it for 2 lousy years

[west cairn]

so what is the third faction? I didnt really get it, anyone read the story of that Korean map?

[radiant prism]

I mean, after 3 years, people are probably gonna want something new. People feel that way about BFV right now, so despite the hype right now, I would be a little surprised if this game can last longer than 4 years at an absolute maximum.

[shy rapids]

How could you make a game this big and end it like that?

[radiant prism]

The No-Pats

US, Russia, and the No-Pats

[royal onyx]

just start trying to squad up in bf4 with ppl from here and get some confirmed parties happening for 2042 launch. looking forward ot it

[west cairn]

I thought No Pats r just being hired by the two superpowers?

[radiant prism]

The operative who stole the data, which both the US and Russia had been trying to get, was a No-Pat

[next onyx]

Seems to be

[astral marsh]

I’m just glad dice is just taking about the game and only the game and just knowing what people want in a battlefield game instead of all the politics surrounding bf 5

[next onyx]

Hmm

[radiant prism]

They are, but they're strong enough and numerous enough to have their own power

[astral marsh]

Or just getting into politics

[next onyx]

U.s vs no pats

/n.p

[radiant prism]

Politics wasn't BFV's issue, marketing was.

[west cairn]

got it, ty

[radiant prism]

(Among other things of course, but thats the long and short of it)

[shy rapids]

Well the thing is, BF5 is WW2, content wasn't really great as well, so if they're able to keep content going and make it well made like other games have done, people won't really be asking for another game for sometime

[next onyx]

Content wise bf5 was pretty decent

[astral marsh]

Yeah that’s true

[next onyx]

We got double the maps from release with lots of weapons

[radiant prism]

On the other hand though, Portal, if successful, could absolutely become a long-standing part of the franchise

[next onyx]

Ye

[radiant prism]

I could definitely see that sticking around for a long time...the amount of possibilities there gives it one hell of a shelf life

[shy rapids]

What if the no Pats are clones from China to get revenge? That's just theory, a game theory

[shy rapids]

There weren't any battle passes though

Battle passes keep games alive for AWHILE

[severe hill]

Dice concept art just hinted large scale destruction on Kaleidoscope

[radiant prism]

There was a battlepass-type system though

It just went away when content was stopped

[next onyx]

It had a battle pass system that was completely free

[shy rapids]

Was it good though?... Like MW or Apex?

[craggy marten]

Lost track on some story details

[shy rapids]

Well Apex wasn't that good so yeah

[craggy marten]

Who are the villains again?

[next onyx]

In the end of the games life cycle we could buy those chapters with ingame money

We dont know yet

[shy rapids]

That's the problem lol

[next onyx]

Doesn't seem like either are bad

[radiant prism]

Its pretty grey all around, all sides aren't really clear cut good or bad

[next onyx]

How is free bad

[shy rapids]

Because, no money to the creators

[next onyx]

People who pay for the game alone get everything

[craggy marten]

Dont listen to him, he's the opposite of a sugar daddy

He likes his money taken from him at all costs

[next onyx]

Lmao

[shy rapids]

Yeah but battle passes add way more to the game?

[radiant prism]

If you ask me, the No-Pats seem to be more or less the "good" guys

[craggy marten]

And just kneels down to any corporation

[shy rapids]

That doesn't even make any sense

[next onyx]

The tides of war system got us the same stuff you'd get something from a battle pass anyways.

[craggy marten]

Then why say free shit is bad?

[mortal raft]

Which are still far less maps than the last four games.

[shy rapids]

Because it always comes at a cost

[craggy marten]

You are paying for a fucking 70 dollar game

[radiant prism]

Good development adds way more to the game, Battlepasses seem to be the best method so far of supporting that development throughout a game's life.

[shy rapids]

No I'm not lol I got it for free

[next onyx]

Skins to assignments, that's just it. And weapons would be part of weekly challenges and when you missed out could rebuy

[craggy marten]

From your mom

[radiant prism]

The mere existence of a Battlepass doesn't guarantee more content, just as a Premium system doesn't

[craggy marten]

Just give it a few years

[next onyx]

Maybe so but at least every one could play them as they were part of the normal playlist

[radiant prism]

Server Banner Change 👀

[shy rapids]

My mom? Why would she give me the game?

[next onyx]

Thats a beautiful image

[shy rapids]

It does if it's a well made BP that's $10

[shy rapids]

EMP storm?

[next onyx]

Its not even that

Its in the midst of an earth bound disaster

[radiant prism]

if its a well made BP. The Battlepass itself isn't giving the content, the development behind it is. Battlepasses just seem to be the best method thus far of supporting it.

[severe hill]

look at that destruction

[next onyx]

Promotionally its very good

[radiant prism]

Good support behind a good development team is best for content, not the mere existence of a Battlepass

[west cairn]

its clear that they r trying to not include China in the game tho

[shy rapids]

Yes, but the battle passes provide cosmetics which is good, which Apex cosmetics aren't that great, yet the game is still going

[mortal raft]

I like BFV honestly, but sone things about it just bug me.
Lack of content (not even Eastern Front), weird cosmetics especially for the British, not really much of a war atmosphere most maps feel like small skirmishes.

[shy rapids]

That's wack

[next onyx]

@radiant prism if you wanted extra content you could buy exclusive skins which in my opinion were extremely good

Which

Added a lot

[west cairn]

I mean even if they did add China, they cant do it in the good way

[mortal raft]

Anyway, I definitely am happy Premium is gone anyway

[next onyx]

You know the little booster packs

[west cairn]

so its better to just leave China alone

[next onyx]

British had a lot of awkward cosmetics i won't lie

I found solace in using burned with goggles

But later on worked really well with red devil and Calvary commando

Aka plus snowy boy

[mortal raft]

The British look more like some Partisans, than a military.

[white geyser]

[upper sage]

why? now you're forced to play to unlock skins instead of unlocking at your own pace

[next onyx]

When they changed their uniforms they were genuinely good to run

There should be a bunch of earnable skins anyways

Through assignments

Hopefully

[quiet nebula]

Premium is gone for 2042?

That's lame

[mortal raft]

Skins aren't as important as maps and weapons.
It's better to not divide playerbase with Premium and not have to pay so much just for weapons and maps.

[radiant prism]

Premium has been gone since BFV

Which is good

Premium just divides the playerbase

[quiet nebula]

Haven't played Bf5

[mortal raft]

Premium was bad

[quiet nebula]

I liked it on Battlefield 3

[mortal raft]

There is just a single active DLC server for BF3 at this point in Europe

[main salmon]

Premium priority que is essential tho

[unique oyster]

And isn’t some specialists locked behind battle pass

[quiet nebula]

Completing assignments, getting camo, and playing with other premium users was fun

[radiant prism]

No, all specialists will be included in the free pass.

From what I've heard at least

[upper sage]

premium gave u everything in the game, you didnt have to buy some in game currency to unlock content

[mortal raft]

Until the playerbase is so small that most Premium content isn't accessible

[delicate hollow]

they wouldnt lock specialists behind a paywall

[worldly star]

no

[quiet nebula]

yea

[radiant prism]

Yes, but you also had to play full price for half the game.

[worldly star]

worst take ive seen today

[quiet nebula]

no

[acoustic oar]

its confirmed that all gameplay relevant content like maps, weapons and specialists is free for everyone

[worldly star]

and ive seen people defending sonys 30$ graphics upgrades

[mortal raft]

I don't understand your logic.
It's better to have to pay for weapons and maps than to get all that for free and only optionally can pay for skins?

[next onyx]

I can see what premium brought but at the same time dividing the playerbase with less popular maps just.. kills it

[upper sage]

bruh....... you're not evem getting half the game if you dont grind a battle pass

[worldly star]

sounds like pay to win

[acoustic oar]

you consider some skins half the game lul?

[next onyx]

The main battle pass will be free and then therell be a premium battle pass apparently?

[delicate hollow]

yeah paid bp is just going to be skins

[next onyx]

Which unlocks exclusive stuff

Ye

[radiant prism]

At least you don't have to pay for DLC maps, since 99% of paid battlepasses are cosmetic only. You can still play the full game and get all major* content.

[split parcel]

99%
Meaning 1% will be non-cosmetics?

[radiant prism]

I meant in 99% of games

[mortal raft]

Probably some weapons to unlock, like with Tides of War.
For the free Battlepass that is.

[radiant prism]

Very very few games lock playable content behind paid battlepasses anymore, most paid battlepasses are cosmetic only

[next onyx]

I do wonder if weeklies will come back

I quite liked those

[arctic grove]

Bro battlefield sucks ass

[worldly star]

why are you here

[arctic grove]

Who even plays this game anymore

Is shit

[radiant prism]

epic troll

[mortal raft]

Bait

[arctic grove]

Yes troll

Fight me

[next onyx]

Knock it off with the baiting.

[mortal raft]

Very funny

[worldly star]

i am laughing

[acoustic oar]

no I block you xD

[next onyx]

Add the convo or leave.

Anyways

[arctic grove]

pls block me

[whole ember]

Damn bro you got the whole squad laughin

[next onyx]

I hope the scar will be usable

[arctic grove]

🙏

[next onyx]

Sorry but I love the damn scar

[unique oyster]

Someone needs to feel grass

[mortal raft]

Wasn't a scar in the trailer?

[radiant prism]

Yep

[sharp crater]

Am I dumb or what I can't see general chat

[next onyx]

Apparently so yeah

[delicate hollow]

probably

[radiant talon]

The SCAR is in yeah

[next onyx]

But i don't want to get my hopes up just incase

[worldly star]

im still hoping for an m60 type gun

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/blessing-lord-jesus-christ-gif-13797221

[whole ember]

I want to see a AK47 in BF2042

[next onyx]

#general

[delicate hollow]

i just pinged you in it

[sharp crater]

thx

[next onyx]

Maybe best you click through there to see it

[atomic apex]

Noot

[next onyx]

No worries!

Noot noot!

[worldly star]

i kinda hope theres a crossbow in the game

they could do some cool stuff with that

[next onyx]

Explosive crossbow?

[radiant talon]

oh yeah, crossbow would be cool

[next onyx]

Beep beep beep

[radiant talon]

doesn't have to be explosivey

[atomic apex]

Have you read the chapters way?

[worldly star]

maybe with interchangable bolts

[whole ember]

Something like the Phantom Bow?

[next onyx]

Still yet to read the first one

Err

Fourth

Fuck

[mortal raft]

The BF3 crossbow is cool

[worldly star]

explosive, smoke, radar, emp

[sharp crater]

my general chat is gone again

wtf

[radiant talon]

You might have it muted and hidden

[atomic apex]

Its cool how each chapter focuses on a different map

I like the backstory as a whole too

[mortal raft]

Possible that you minimized the Discussions window?

[next onyx]

When I was 15 I was using the xbow, hit a 60 -80 bomb with it and clenched my controller so tightly my fingers ached afterwards lmao

[sharp crater]

I am sooo dumb

thx

[worldly star]

this story stuff is honestly way cooler than a campaign

[next onyx]

Sorry just remembered that lmao

[sharp crater]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyxZ_jqGtbA&ab_channel=StarDash Watch til the end 😂

[radiant talon]

gamer

[unique oyster]

Btw will bf2042 run on my laptop
It’s a 1650ti , 16 gB 8x8, i5 10300H

[next onyx]

Its kinda cool, without a campaign we're more interested in the main story

!!specs

[tender pendant]

Currently there are no official PC specifications released by DICE for the full release of Battlefield 2042.

[cobalt girder]

Will bf2042 run on a toaster?

[atomic apex]

Had it been most other games I would've preferred a campaign

[mortal raft]

Sounds good though

[arctic grove]

That would be cool

[atomic apex]

But bf campaigns usually suck so I think a simple backstory is the best choice

[arctic grove]

Imagine taking out a jet with a crossbow and explosive arrows

[next onyx]

BIRD

[cobalt girder]

BF4 campaign wasn’t bad

[worldly star]

theres also the short film

[next onyx]

Black ops 1 had the coolest explosive crossbow

[radiant talon]

short film in 6 days, can't wait

[pure basin]

It wasn’t good either

[radiant talon]

took them long enough to jump into serious lore stuff

[next onyx]

And then gamescom....

God please more gameplay

[mortal raft]

I'd argue it was the worst.

[next onyx]

Proper gameplay

[atomic apex]

Wasn't very memorable

[radiant prism]

BF4 campaign was broken lol

carrier swimming segment

[atomic apex]

Yea I know

[cobalt girder]

oh yea…

[pure basin]

I loved getting stuck on the first mission never being able to take down the helicopter

[worldly star]

i hope we see smth like the valkyrie from black ops 1

[radiant talon]

:(

[mortal raft]

I barely remember anything from the BF4 campaign, apart from it being boring but good looking

[worldly star]

with the guided rockets

[cobalt girder]

The Nade launcher glitch?

[pure basin]

Yea

[cobalt girder]

Ohh

[pure basin]

I recently replayed and I ran into the exact same thing

[worldly star]

man october cant get here soon enough

i hope theres no delays

[cobalt girder]

I mean I grew up on BC2 BF3 and 4

[next onyx]

Beep boop

TV guided missile stationeries

[radiant prism]

BF3's campaign is at least decent

[tired quest]

bf4 titan swim glitch

[arctic grove]

Whelp new faction

Daesong

[pure basin]

Wdym

[worldly star]

still want to see rods from god in 2042

as like reinforcements

[pure basin]

That’s a company

[cobalt girder]

Y’all ever killed someone in the TV missles in BF4?

[radiant prism]

No, the new faction referred to the No-Pats themselves

[arctic grove]

My b

[tired quest]

nah i can't use them at all

[pure basin]

New specialist tho

[tired quest]

they're better on PC

[pure basin]

Korean lady

[cobalt girder]

No I mean shoot at a TV missile flying and if U shoot it down u get the kill credit

It’s very weird but satisfying

[next onyx]

I've killed some people with the TV rocket

Its funny

[severe hill]

its hard to hit targets

[tired quest]

oh, no but I've shot a UCAV down before

[radiant prism]

Thats one of the reasons I give for BF4's jankyness

The TV missile bullshit

[arctic grove]

“I’ll come to know her as the Specialist Ji-Soo Paik, the No-Pat mole who infiltrated Daesong at Oz’s behest”.

[tired quest]

china

[worldly star]

c5 tuktuk

[cobalt girder]

What’s the best missles to use on the stealth jet in BF4?

[timber mulch]

I would always fly it back into myself and watch me die. Pretty funny.

[cobalt girder]

Lol

[tired quest]

step 1: use attack jets

step 2: win

[arctic grove]

I’m a tank commander so can’t help ya buddy

[tired quest]

stealth jets are borderline useless

[cobalt girder]

I’m goated with the stealth jets

Passive radar and 20mm >>>

[arctic grove]

Dogfighting only

[tired quest]

the A-10 has a better turn radius than the J-20 bruh

[whole ember]

I am more of a infantry man that can't fly a fucking jet for his life so can't help you buddy

[arctic grove]

While atk jets dogfight and infantry support

[next onyx]

To be fair, they'd have to nerf its power if it were too easy to use

Biggest thing about it was its input delay

[tired quest]

they could remove the stealth jets and nothing would change because everyone uses attack jets anyways

[slender trout]

lol at the game news 😂 First teraflops as a unit of filesize and now it says made out with 10 pentabytes.. 💋

[tired quest]

they're simply the superior aircraft

[next onyx]

Stealth jets are for dogfighting and keeping the sky clear

Attack jets are anti ground

[tired quest]

do you not understand what I'm saying

[arctic grove]

but a skilled atk jet player can do both

[timber mulch]

only used them for quicker transport

[arctic grove]

Just saying

[tired quest]

half of the attack jets have a better turn radius than the mf stealth jets

[radiant prism]

I believe this is the new specialist mentioned today

spam

[next onyx]

Attack jet may have the power but yeah.

Bad gecko

[arctic grove]

Yup she def looks@like

[radiant prism]

no ban pls : )

[arctic grove]

She probably a medic

Mentioned today?

Or assault

[cobalt girder]

Idk bout that one chief

[radiant prism]

Sounds like another engineer type to me

[mortal raft]

Doesn't make much sense with her backstory

[tired quest]

basically the Chinese jets are bad because they've both got the worst turn radius

[radiant prism]

Or she might be recon/stealth oriented, considering she had infiltrated the company

[cobalt girder]

Fax

[arctic grove]

Rao is a hacker and In image it shown him with a wire hacking something

[next onyx]

Could be engineer honestly

[tired quest]

F-35 is the best stealth jet because it's smol and turn the A-10 has a tighter then radius than the F-35 so why bother with stealth jets anyways

[severe hill]

hack an atm thats it

[next onyx]

To keep the skies clear? The guns are much better for air on air

[arctic grove]

Yea Ik but it could be a tease to what his gadget et is

[radiant prism]

If you slow down on the throttle, the stealth jets have a super tight turning radius

[next onyx]

Honestly

[tired quest]

an A-10 or Q-5 can do that just fine though

[next onyx]

Its so weird turning so quickly in a jet

[severe hill]

the story did tease aa lot of things so far

[next onyx]

They can turn but not as well as a stealth jet

[severe hill]

even concpet art

[arctic grove]

And two new specialist

[severe hill]

and possible two tornadoes on kaleidoscope

lmao

[arctic grove]

So 8 specialist so far

[severe hill]

that shit aint happening

[arctic grove]

And they are ten at launch

So we might see last two

[tired quest]

some of the attack jets are literally better than some of the stealth jets because of hitboxes and turn radiuses

[severe hill]

and that sweet skyscraper destruction

[arctic grove]

@radiant prism u got a image of Rao in the trailer remember he has a antenna back pack

[severe hill]

so that was soldier from the end of the reveal trailer

[arctic grove]

Probably

If that’s the case

[radiant prism]

I can get one, one sec

[arctic grove]

Then skins in battle pass really change the whole character

[mortal raft]

Rao is the guy on the cover, isn't he?

[arctic grove]

Well we don’t know

[mortal raft]

Looks like him

[arctic grove]

But one thing that makes him easy to remember

[mortal raft]

Has the same antenna

[arctic grove]

Is his atenna back pack

[radiant prism]

Rao Moment

[arctic grove]

Yup same backpack from the article

So that’s a Rao skin

[mortal raft]

Also the desert skin in the Gold Edition

[radiant prism]

Definitely Rao

[ember shard]

Oh hey..I'm finally unmuted.....

[urban garden]

when they are going to talk about the beta!!! they still didnt tell us anything beside the new mode "Portal"

[arctic grove]

Got any other snap shots from the trailer? I’m sure they sneaked in a few other operators there hah

[radiant prism]

Here he is again in the TukTuk

[ember shard]

Battlefield is becoming a live service game franchise lol..how do y'all feel about that ?

https://twitter.com/bravoINTEL/status/1423638847183785989?s=19

[worldly star]

its a good thing

[pure basin]

👍

[radiant prism]

Most games are, and thats a good thing.

[urban garden]

what live service game means?

[radiant prism]

Premium just divides the playerbase

[worldly star]

arent you the weirdo that was shitting on 2042 bc cod is better?

[ember shard]

Fortnut says otherwise. Literally the worst game ever made

[worldly star]

cod is live service now.

[arctic grove]

Yeah he was doing that all night

[ember shard]

Warzone is live service. Cod itself isn't

[pure basin]

Ok so you’re 14

[radiant prism]

Fortnite's success speaks otherwise. I think you're confusing your personal dislike of a game with its objective success.

[arctic grove]

@radiant prism how abt the Webster skin

U got a pic

[radiant prism]

Which one?

Theres a few

[worldly star]

and games are at a point where devs cant just pump them out yearly

theyre getting big

and supporting them longer is just a good thing overall

[arctic grove]

Ummm I think Webster’s skin has the blue cable on it in the cargo crates

[ember shard]

Live service ruins games

[pure basin]

How

[shy rapids]

So?

[arctic grove]

I strongly disagree my friend

[radiant prism]

Yeah that shows up a few times

One sec

[ember shard]

Live service= stuff filled with P2W and Microtransactions

[shy rapids]

Yeah exactly, it really makes me disappointed that the game will last for 2 years

[worldly star]

should definitely be longer

[pure basin]

[worldly star]

i was hoping for like 4 or 5

[shy rapids]

Pay 2 win? I don't see that in CSGO, Fortnite, or COD

[arctic grove]

Casper got them ghillie suits I bet

[shy rapids]

What's wrong with live service?

[arctic grove]

How is bf 2042 p2w

Boi u play to unlock

[delicate hollow]

its pay to unlock faster

[shy rapids]

Same but dang man... kind of makes me regret having a lot of hype for a game that will end so shortly

[worldly star]

well have to see ig

[delicate hollow]

you dont have to pay to unlock

[shy rapids]

Yeah exactly lol

[ember shard]

It's funny you say that because Activision actually admitted they have a system that was made , regarding SBMM and it takes things like your most used weapons, cosmetics you buy and other things into account. Although they swear this system was never actually added. The system itself does exist for warzone

[astral marsh]

Live service is like 50/50. It can go well or pretty bad

[shy rapids]

Now even pay 2 win

Its pay 2 play

[astral marsh]

Just depends on how it’s handled

[pure basin]

Good thing this isn’t activisions game then

[ember shard]

EA is just as fucked up. I love them but I'm sure they have a similar system made. Wether it's in their games or not is a different story

[shy rapids]

Well yes, I know that Activision alters the way you play and so on, people think it's not true but it is, and a lot of people don't know it because it isn't explained much.

[arctic grove]

Well we know if u buy the bp in bf 2042 it’s only cosmetics

[radiant prism]

Blue cord seems to be one of Mackay's defining articles

[shy rapids]

Its EAs, which they may be following COD with this two yearly thing

[ember shard]

I don't know if they actually use the system. I would hope not. But the fact it even exists...

[arctic grove]

Yup that’s the one I bet

[shy rapids]

Mackay Mouse

[arctic grove]

Def Webster skin

[ember shard]

I'm just hoping EA doesn't get THAT greedy. Because if they did....

[arctic grove]

Can you reminds me what Mackey's ability is?

[radiant prism]

Grappling hook, so it makes sense

[arctic grove]

So all of these are season 1 skins I bet

[shy rapids]

I'm hoping for M50/S10 gas mask in BF 2042

[tame cobalt]

Is it time for me to buy some new audiophile headphones to be ready for 2042?
Yes, yes it is

[arctic grove]

I remember the Espinoza skin too

[radiant prism]

Probably default skins tbh

[arctic grove]

Oh that's him! He looks a bit different to the old images

[tame cobalt]

espinoza gonna have some fire skins

[arctic grove]

aye

[arctic grove]

Either the shope season 1 or secondary default skins

[shy rapids]

Well yes, BUT, if they still end the game within two years after making a lot of money, that would just be greed, but we'll see hopefully

So when does season 1 start?

[arctic grove]

Probably when the game launch

[pure basin]

How many specialists have we seen so far

[shy rapids]

Let's say its October 15th then or Oct 22nd

[arctic grove]

8

[tame cobalt]

but why make new game when current game do trick?

[arctic grove]

2 we saw in the lore

[shy rapids]

So the battle pass would end on December?

[delicate hollow]

6

[arctic grove]

And the other two being wingsuit chick and Espinoza

[delicate hollow]

we know the abilities of 6

[radiant prism]

Espinoza moment

[tame cobalt]

hmm

[shy rapids]

Sadly that gas mask doesn't look the best

[worldly star]

i hope that they let us slide down hills in 2042

[delicate hollow]

we dont know espinozas ability

[radiant prism]

I like it tbh

[delicate hollow]

so we know of 7

[arctic grove]

Riot shield

[shy rapids]

No way lol

[delicate hollow]

oh

is that it

lmao im stupid

[pure basin]

4 we’ve been told

[arctic grove]

Ye I saw it in gameplay reveal

[worldly star]

in 5 its just a normal slide and its kinda lame

[radiant prism]

Yes we do

[shy rapids]

A rock is going to get in the way and stop us

[delicate hollow]

so yeah we know 7 abilities

[pure basin]

Rao Espinoza new Korean girl

Wing suit chick

[tame cobalt]

apex style map pinging yes or no

[shy rapids]

Huh?

[pure basin]

So 8?

[arctic grove]

So we have a hacker a heal gun a grapple a riot shield a turret a drone and a wingsuit specialist

[tame cobalt]

they're missing some commas

[pure basin]

Two we haven’t seen anything from

[delicate hollow]

who is korean girl

[ripe pumice]

We get a new story thing today or is DICE blue balling us

[pure basin]

New girl from story

[tame cobalt]

From the new short

[arctic grove]

We don’t know what she looks like

Yet

[tame cobalt]

She seems to have infiltration skills

[delicate hollow]

ah i didnt read todays

[pure basin]

@delicate hollow

[tame cobalt]

But unclear what exactly her skills may be

[craggy marten]

Pay 2 win is kinda dead in FPS games as of late.

[radiant prism]

Espinoza is shield boi

[shy rapids]

Gentlemen, I have a plan, we should all put our money towards BF 2042, and then we shall see it reign for 7+ years

[arctic grove]

Yup

[tame cobalt]

But she definitely gives me recon vibes

[craggy marten]

Thats a big ass shield

[gritty cape]

I want to troll with this

[craggy marten]

Hope I dont die from getting shot in the toes

[shy rapids]

Yeah I know that

[radiant prism]

Thats a big ass man 👀

[arctic grove]

So Espinoza got the riot shield

Whelp cod fanboys know the drill

[delicate hollow]

that shield better protect the back when you arent holding it

[shy rapids]

CHARGEEE

[tame cobalt]

I thought the riot shield character is called delta

[pure basin]

It could be a gadget not a speciality we don’t know

[craggy marten]

I dont like how the map looks

[gritty cape]

Like Clash from R6

[arctic grove]

Nope that Espinoza

[craggy marten]

Grey and light blue dont match in my opinion

[delicate hollow]

perhaps

[tame cobalt]

Cool

[radiant prism]

No its definitely Delta, Espinoza is just his actual name

[arctic grove]

That’s under the stadium in hourglass I think

[shy rapids]

I wish we could wear bot skins in the game

[craggy marten]

Would be cool to change the colors of the HUD itself as a setting

[tame cobalt]

ui isn't final

[arctic grove]

Ji-Soo Paik

[arctic grove]

Active camo for X amount of time

[gritty cape]

hope we will not gonna find hackers in this game x)

[arctic grove]

What is that on her head

Hmmmmm

A visor actually makes sense or active camo! Good ideas

[radiant prism]

I think she might be a recon operator

[pure basin]

Face mask?

[arctic grove]

Recon

[tame cobalt]

idk but she gives recon vibes

[radiant prism]

I think its some kind of sensor or visor

[arctic grove]

She's an infiltrator, so active camo makes sense

[radiant prism]

Infiltrator yeah

[arctic grove]

Cloaking

Actually make a very solid point

[craggy marten]

Who's the guy with the cool looking white helmet?

[arctic grove]

Whoa she could be a cloaked

[radiant prism]

If she had active camo, we probably would've seen it by now

[pure basin]

Espinoza

[craggy marten]

The one we zoom in on when the tornado appears in Kaleidoscope

[pure basin]

/delta

[radiant prism]

[arctic grove]

[radiant prism]

Definitely Delta/Espinoza

[arctic grove]
