battlefield-2042

[stiff pollen]

I got uplay

[sick patio]

pretty brilliant imo

[low venture]

check your dm discord

[stiff pollen]

Ty

[sonic geode]

Portal has made sure that 2042 will not flop unless they screw up the technical side so bad that all we see is a black screen

[topaz crown]

I'm worried too, even though they didn't mention they were going, but something doesn't feel right

[soft kayak]

dude, interest has gone down, very far, due to the info drought. An active discord means nothing

this server is a small group of people

[sick patio]

i see the subreddit gaining a few hundred people a day

[soft kayak]

thats not a lot

[sonic geode]

Gone down? Its actually gone up for me tbh but thats just me

[sick patio]

same here

[white geyser]

EA I swear to god if you do anything stupid to fuck up BF 2042 I'm gonna grind your ass for pissing off the people.

[sick patio]

the people who are hardcore bf fans are gonna stick around and those who aren’t the gamescom trailer doesn’t really matter it’s’more the beta that does

[topaz crown]

They will, they'll force DICE to add anime skins and pink tracers

[sick patio]

i think (hopefully??) they learned 🤞

[livid fern]

That would be fuckin sick

[sonic geode]

How exactly are you gonna grind their ass lmao

[topaz crown]

No, it's horrible

[jade plaza]

Like if your going to tease the game in June anyone with a first year marking course can tell you that prematurely stopping marketing material and public engagement through content in a over saturated market will lead to minus brand retention

[sweet timber]

well the 2042 sub still has way more active ppl on it than the vanguard sub even with an alpha currently going on for that game

[livid fern]

No

[white geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-grate-butt-breakdown-gif-8957577

[sonic geode]

Knowing how hardcore the bf community is noone will buy it

[soft kayak]

vanguard was announced a week ago and 2042 has had months

[sick patio]

tbf that game was revealed like what less than a week ago

but also cod community is much larger

[soft kayak]

hahahahaha
fool

[sweet timber]

yes but everyone already knew about vanguard before it was released.

its been leaked for awhile, the name and everything

[sonic geode]

If they buy it it will be the cod community who has come to bf

Lmao

[soft kayak]

most people dont follow videogame leaks, and a title doesnt mean much. Sub didnt even exist till the anouncement

[jade plaza]

Read my last message if you want to know how Dice fucked up there marketing strategy

[topaz crown]

I hope not, like a proper military game not some bunny running around

[sick patio]

but the marketing strategy as a whole has been very lowkey with it starting with simple dms to creators

[soft kayak]

if only that were true.
Every game has a small set of whales with no self control who will buy whatever shiny crap theyll put out.

[sweet timber]

no the sub was made in January, way before it was announced

[stiff pollen]

I can’t say anything gameplay wise but I don’t think BF2042 will do bad

[sick patio]

we could get something tomorrow you never know

[sonic geode]

True, but i dont think ea is that dumb. They are smarter than activision for sure

[stiff pollen]

CoD is gonna have an off year

People are tired of warzone and they don’t really want WW2

People will jump to battlefield

Same thing happened with BF1

[jade plaza]

Yes but it’s a AAA game, ffs of its going up against cod put some long term effort in, not just 8 short stories and one cinematic

[stiff pollen]

Infinite warfare did poorly and everyone jumped to BF1

[soft kayak]

They are smarter than activision for sure
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHC1230OpOg

[topaz crown]

That's what's pissing me off, we need to know something even a little something, I know it's a game but I'm getting pissed off, I pre-ordered Gold Edition for a reason, not to be screwed around

[stiff pollen]

And it’s the best selling BF game because of it

[white geyser]

I remember that good times

[stiff pollen]

As well as the fact it was a game made out of passion

[sick patio]

i have a feeling hype is going to ramp up big time this week

[severe hill]

The Vanguard got that modern warfare feel

[sick patio]

what if they’re going to use content creators again to reveal the beta out of nowhere how crazy would that be

[sweet timber]

feels like a reskin of it

[jade plaza]

@sick patio it’s Saturday , if they where going to announce shit it be at games con

[soft kayak]

aaaaaaaaany week now...

[severe hill]

Can they like show a trailer of some sort

[stiff pollen]

They’ve shown like 3

You just want to play it

[severe hill]

Mutiplayer, destruction, hazard zone

[stiff pollen]

They should’ve announced the beta by now for sure

[sick patio]

well the game has to release atSOME point.

[sweet timber]

i dont want a trailer just want beta dates

[tardy sphinx]

cod better ong

[severe hill]

The beta early access is out to pre order

But no date

[sonic geode]

I am sure they are smarter than activision, its a very low bar as well anyways

[sullen badge]

I think the release of technical specs would be a good move

[sick patio]

gamescom was a shit show man

[jade plaza]

Even if they did let creators know with NDA’s someone would leak it to be the first for clicks as you tubers are scum for money

[soft kayak]

"no you see actually its a super secret marketing strategy to get the few people who actually bother with this stuff to look for information and find nothing. this will increase their sales 10 fold, cause as we know DICE have never fucked up a launch"

[sonic geode]

Yeah gamescom was really lackluster

[topaz crown]

I got a feeling it's delayed

[sonic geode]

Possible

[sick patio]

not big creators who actually have a dog in the fight

[topaz crown]

They showed 1996 graphic games

It was shocking

[jade plaza]

If it’s delayed tell us don’t do a project cd red

[soft kayak]

what game?

[white geyser]

If it gets delayed because some bugs issues need to be fix

[sweet timber]

new saints rows graphics look like they are on 2013 level

[severe hill]

Only like 10% of the games that where shown I like

[topaz crown]

I hope EA know better

[sick patio]

it’s not gonna get delayed years. month or two max

actually literally a month max

they can’t afford to have it any closer to xmas

[sonic geode]

Graphics werent that much of an issue but damn were the games boring except for far cry 6 and the halo infinite release date

[sullen badge]

i would be dissapointed if it was

[soft kayak]

yeah they'd rather release it broken then miss out on xmas stuff

[sick patio]

yup

exactly

[jade plaza]

Really because I’ve watched several BATTLEFEILD news videos where they talk about the hud layout a week after Dice confirmed it’s not final. Controversy stirs up viewership

[candid laurel]

Hopefully DICE won’t mess 2042 with any future patches like they did with BF5! Enough of invincible enemies and bad net code! 😮‍💨

[topaz crown]

Mostly all indie games, all anime or some 1996 graphics that are "next gen"

There was decent games especially from some indie

Forgot what that fighting one was but that was awesome, saints row and Forza was great

[sick patio]

realistically the first month or two are gonna be rough. that’s to be expected

[soft kayak]

some games are much rougher than others, and a broken launch is not acceptable

[jade plaza]

Just like the media jumped on the hacker story even though source code only shows how encrypted code is designed it’s not a back door it was also a old version of frost engine

[severe hill]

I'm waiting for hurricane Ida to hit

[sick patio]

absolutely not but as long as they commit to fixing it i believe it can be redeemed. also you never know it could launched polished and bug free

[severe hill]

Something to watch while I wait

[stiff pollen]

On the one hand I wanna hope that easy anticheat will stop all those hackers

On the other hand… BFV…

[jade plaza]

Shit in a bucket, throw it at a wall and it still be better then Cod

[stiff pollen]

[soft kayak]

Henderson's tweet is also really concerning

[stiff pollen]

Henderson got played

You think that dude who told him wouldn’t tell him shits up?

[severe hill]

Nah just waiting for Ida to hit so I can play outside and get hit by trees

[sullen badge]

Henderson is a clown

[stiff pollen]

“Oh yeah nobody actually wants hacks for this game”

[topaz crown]

They normally do a month before release for BETA to fix bugs etc, so I'm guessing the 5th as the game is 15th for Gold and Ultimate

[candid laurel]

Enough of those “leakers”, really.

[topaz crown]

Cheaters, both different things

[soft kayak]

how so?

[stiff pollen]

I only trust temporyal

Henderson might’ve been right but still

[severe hill]

Because he is a dataminer

Who has confirmed most of the events in bf 2042 before the trailer tom did

[soft kayak]

there is a difference between saying "people want hacks for the game" and "the game is fucked"

[severe hill]

Everybody can just make a portal

[stiff pollen]

You think a seller of hacks for a game is gonna say “oh actually sales for this is bad”

[severe hill]

Instead

[soft kayak]

temporyal is also likely to stumble upon cut content

[topaz crown]

The people writing the news, don't know how "hacks" work, they just believe anything the scamming website says

[severe hill]

So when is he going to give my destruction info

[soft kayak]

portal is not a silver bullet

[topaz crown]

Portal is going to be insane

[severe hill]

So emp storms are confirmed from the dataminer?

[sonic geode]

Plus we havent even seen hazard zone

[soft kayak]

casual tarkov sounds really interesting

[sonic geode]

Yeah

[topaz crown]

Feels so long till launch day

[candid laurel]

Yeah, I’m really interested in it. Tarkov looks cool, so..

[stiff pollen]

It’s likely gonna be more Hunt showdown than tarkov but still nice to see

[night fjord]

yeah most likely still hyped though

[topaz crown]

But will the tornado destroy buildings?

[sonic geode]

Its a good thing

[candid laurel]

Never played any of them. Where’s the big difference? Hunt is with monsters and stuff, right?

[night fjord]

it's just tarkov is way more unforgiving

and very steep learning curve

[jade plaza]

What if they fucked up the collider physics and the tordando flung you around inside buildings

[night fjord]

is my guess is what he meant

[stiff pollen]

Tarkov is more unforgiving and you can choose to play as something other than your main

[topaz crown]

There better be a Spectator mode in Portal and main game

[sonic geode]

I would have good fun with that XD

[tribal minnow]

Ass

[lucid swallow]

i hope they dont delay the game by a month and hopefully some news next week lol

[tribal minnow]

No

[night fjord]

tbh most people stressing for no reason

[candid laurel]

Then I hope for a hardcore hazard zone, too!

[severe hill]

They won't just add a tornado just for money and attention

[night fjord]

i bet there is no delay

[tribal minnow]

Nope

[jade plaza]

EA give us beta dates or you have a small pee pee

[night fjord]

same here tarkov was a great time even if it was a pain in the ass

[sullen badge]

shots fired

[sonic geode]

Very intimidating

[jaunty arrow]

I thought you were clean dan

[tribal minnow]

NO

[sonic geode]

Ive always wanted a less hardcore version of tarkov, i found losing the equipment way too harsh combined with other things

But the core game was fun

[young isle]

call of duty bad company 2

[candid laurel]

Like I said, I never played it. I think it’s just nice to have some variety. Not sliding and jumping 24/7 like in the classical modes, I mean.

[jaunty arrow]

You look like my uncle who smokes :/

[tribal minnow]

Good

[night fjord]

yeah i feel that, but it felt way more rewarding due to the difficulty

[night fjord]

definitely nice to see battlefield taking what seems to be catering to a more tactical approach

[jade plaza]

I think EA’s marketing team and blizzards HR have a lot in common because they suck at basic communication. Well to be fair one sucks at communication the other sucks at communicating what is sexual harassment and interfering with the legal process by shredding documents

[candid laurel]

At least with Portal! The alpha stuff I saw was quite fast, man.

[sonic geode]

EA's marketing is good except for when it came to tf2 but now they are stretching our patience too thin

[jade plaza]

@sonic geode I explained why there marketing was dumb earlier

[night fjord]

I meant for hazard but yeah

[primal belfry]

which battlefield is considered the best one

[sonic geode]

They dont suck tho is what im saying

[primal belfry]

wait wrong channel

[jade plaza]

3,4 or 1

[candid laurel]

True that, my bad!
Let’s see, I’m sure we’ll hear more about it pretty soon. 😃👍🏼

[sonic geode]

Its just that now they are testing their limits big time lmao

[primal belfry]

oh thanks i already have 1 and it's fun

[sonic geode]

Most bf games are really good

3 and 4 are still alive

Not to say anything about 1 and 5

[night fjord]

def recommend buying 4 was my fav

[vague rose]

Does anyone here know if the ppl who have ea play get early access to the battlefield 2042 beta early like the ppl who pre order do?

[night fjord]

they don't

[sonic geode]

In asia the servers for 4 are dead, its honestly really sad

[night fjord]

damn sorry to hear that, it's popping in NA

[sonic geode]

Ea play pro does get early access

[night fjord]

ah my b

[vague rose]

@sonic geode what about ea play

[night fjord]

nope only pro

[sonic geode]

I think so

I know for sure pro does tho cuz i use it lmao

[vague rose]

So ea play pro will get to play the beta at the same time as the ppl who pre order do?

[arctic grove]

Are bots going to be in all official servers?

[sonic geode]

The early access yes

[sonic geode]

Yes to fill in

Unless there are 128 players

[arctic grove]

I would pre-order this game but the bots are a deal killer.

Bf 2042 is overhyped!

[sullen badge]

What are you on about

[vague rose]

@sonic geode I found an article that says ea play gets it I think

https://www.earlygame.com/battlefield/battlefield-2042-ea-play/

[sonic geode]

Then it does ig, im not sure

[candid laurel]

So, which of the new maps are you looking forward to the most? Any settings you guys like? I know we didn’t see all layouts and so on. Just in general.

[vague rose]

@sonic geode okay thanks so much can’t wait to play

[sonic geode]

They need bots to keep up with the pace of 128 player BR sized maps

Plus they have been experimenting for some time now

People who atrended the techncial test said that the bots were actually pretty good

[arctic grove]

Meh, don't make maps that big then.

[sonic geode]

What?

[night fjord]

lol what

you'd rather give up big ass maps then take bots to fill servers when players aren't there?

[arctic grove]

All bots are a no-no for me.

[topaz crown]

I don't know but you do get 15th release for a 10 hour free trail

[sonic geode]

Suit yourself ig but your reasoning doesnt make sense at all

[arctic grove]

Maps were big enough in Battlefield 3.

[sonic geode]

For 64

[night fjord]

yeah for 64 players

[sonic geode]

Not 128 dude

[vague rose]

@topaz crown just looked it up it says they do

[topaz crown]

Apparently they ||drive jets and helis|| which is even better for me, love that

[night fjord]

128 on those maps would be fucking insane

[arctic grove]

128 players.. for the sake of 128 players.

No logic.

[topaz crown]

Oh, nice one :)

[sonic geode]

Do you realize how large 128 is?

Then whats the evolution of bf

[vague rose]

@topaz crown thanks for the help can’t wait to play

[brittle forge]

you could put 128 players on the BF3 Armored Kill maps tbh

[night fjord]

lol not at all, people have been asking for this

[sonic geode]

Just 64 forever?

[arctic grove]

Yeah.

[topaz crown]

Bots are there for fillers in case the server can't get 128 players

[sonic geode]

No offense but im glad you are not on the design team

[night fjord]

im sorry but that's just a miss

especially for a sandbox game like battlefield that's meant to be all out warfare

[topaz crown]

You're welcome I can't too, especially Portal

[sonic geode]

Bf will just be same old

[night fjord]

fr gotta be innovative

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 3 & Battlefield 4 = 🏆.

[sonic geode]

Hell no

[sonic geode]

Not to this

Lol

[brittle forge]

I mean Portal is putting 128 players as possibility on shit like Valiparaiso and Arica Harbor

[night fjord]

that's true but doesn't mean they shouldn't improve

[sonic geode]

They are good but it needs an evolution

[primal belfry]

no

[brittle forge]

Those maps were designed for 32 people lmao

[arctic grove]

"Improve".

[vague rose]

@topaz crown yea same portal looks sick

[royal swan]

nothing is over hype if it can be hyped even more

[topaz crown]

Going to be insane, especially Harbor with Jets too :)

[night fjord]

lol you're an ignorant sour puss if you don't think this is an improvement

[soft kayak]

@arctic grove Has a point. there are 128 players but the maps are also bigger, so the amount of people youre running into is about the same, if not fewer. It wont have much of an effect on the gameplay outside of a few instances

[night fjord]

so is that a problem?

[topaz crown]

It does, I cannot wait to start using that, especially the logic editor

[night fjord]

to allow for more different instances

[royal swan]

what is the problem

i see no problem

[sonic geode]

^

[candid laurel]

I’m curious about that one, too! 👍🏼

[soft kayak]

its not a problem, but its not much of an improvement either

[sonic geode]

The ratio is not the same buddy. Its not a 1:1 increase

[night fjord]

i mean it's that on top of probably 100 other things that make it better, it's not like they copy and pasted bf4 with a higher player count

[brittle forge]

portal is definitely getting either Metro or Locker at some point, it won't be good, but DICE's meme focused marketing isn't going to pass 128-player up Metro/Locker 24/7 servers

[soft kayak]

yeah I forgot,
maps are actually more than 2x the size, so its even less dense

[soft kayak]

never said it wasnt

[topaz crown]

Logic editor, something I'm use to, last time I used a visual scripting was Scratch, and some Unreal Engine stuff

[royal swan]

Whats wrong with BF being BF

[sonic geode]

Yeah but a lot more vehicles and a map splitting control point objective system

[primal belfry]

tbh even if battlefield 2042 ends up being pretty trash i think it'll still be worth playing

[night fjord]

you're saying what's the improvement as if they aren't improving from previous titles though?

[sonic geode]

Its not like people will be chilling on the boundaries

[night fjord]

exactly

[royal swan]

cant a game have the same back bone as it did in previous games

[topaz crown]

I'm hoping we can create a game mode, where you have to escort, defend etc, that would be pretty awesome

[night fjord]

most people will be concentrated on capture points within sectors

[soft kayak]

Im saying "whats the improvement" in terms of 128 players

[candid laurel]

Agree to that! Not just a simple run around.

[night fjord]

adding to the sandbox imo

[royal swan]

improving a more war like match than what it once was

[night fjord]

use to be 64 players intotal you get to fuck around with

now it's 64 per team

[soft kayak]

vehicles have the same density issue

[sonic geode]

How?

[brittle forge]

Honestly for the next game they should say fuck it and make a Battlefield the size of Planetside 2 lmao

[night fjord]

lmaoo

[sonic geode]

LOL

[soft kayak]

more space for the vehicles so youll be encountering vehicles at roughly the same rate.
big exception is planes

[night fjord]

that would be crazy but fucking like constant 10fps

[sonic geode]

But the entire map isnt a control point, the fights will take place in smaller strands

[royal swan]

man games should just stop for a while, they are running out of ideas, wait for another war to make another game out of it

[sonic geode]

In the center

[primal belfry]

with 32 players or less for every game

[topaz crown]

I'm just thinking about it now, I can't wait :) hopefully we get to use the editor before game is release to get use to it

[soft kayak]

but if, from my POV, im seeing the same amount of players and vehicles, how much is it actually improving?
@sonic geode Ive seen gameplay and people arent clumping together. Maps are big

[quiet pawn]

it is like movies, you have investors that don't want to take risks.

[brittle forge]

No kidding. I love that game but that shit chugs to sub-30 fps when it gets busy. And I have a 3080 and Ryzen 9 3900x

[royal swan]

Maps are too small, i like having more time prepping for an attack

then the stress happeneds

I crave stress when playing a video game

[night fjord]

yeah gives that realism of lulls between fights

[soft kayak]

yeah the pacing looks much better than 5 and 1. I just dont think the 128 players had much of an effect on it

[candid laurel]

Do we know if Portal is even released for launch? It would make sense to drop the editor earlier, for sure. I’ve a few ideas as well, although I’ve no idea if I can manage it. Let’s see. 😃

[royal swan]

no time in 5 that much

[night fjord]

i don't see why their three modes wouldn't be available on release otherwise they wouldn't put much marketing behind them atm

[soft kayak]

they havent put much marketing behind them

[royal swan]

unless its that 3 game mode in BF5 then there is more time

[soft kayak]

they havent even revealed HZ

[night fjord]

i mean portal and all out got their fairshare

hz the only one

[royal swan]

portal sounds amazing

[quiet pawn]

yeah just a few videos, YouTubers marketed for them

[topaz crown]

Portal is launch, GM said in the announcement for it back in EA Play, I'm hoping they drop some tutorials soon, along with the link to editor a game or create one

[candid laurel]

No clue! All I know is that it wouldn’t surprise me nowadays.

[sonic geode]

I think they are relying on the bigger fights on other maps, we have only seen orbital

[candid laurel]

Good news then! Looking forward to it!

[sonic geode]

On more clumped maps like doha it should be interesting

Plus i didnt see the weather effects or the destructiom

[soft kayak]

Doha is larger than orbital. Orbital is a medium map

[topaz crown]

I don't know if 15th or 22nd but I'm fine with either for Portal, I'm looking forward to it too :)

[sonic geode]

Yeah but there are concentrated points like rooftops

Unlike im orbital, plus no destruction so cover is still present

Limiting fights

[soft kayak]

really depends on the map design,

[sonic geode]

Yeah so we just have to wait for the beta

[royal swan]

there is a reason for no destruction at the moment

[night fjord]

they aren't making it so you can go in every floor of skyscrapers n shit

[soft kayak]

Beta isnt on Hourglass

[night fjord]

so trust me will still be concentrated

[sonic geode]

Yeah i know im referring to the playtest

[royal swan]

beta should be coming very soon, early September

[sonic geode]

Lets wait even moar ig

[night fjord]

possibly late sept tho we don't know

[soft kayak]

doesnt matter. What matters is how many roofs are there, how accessible are they, and how powerful are those positions. They wont all be the shanghai tower

[royal swan]

we got a tweet from a dev saying how excited he is for us to play beta, that was a few days ago

[night fjord]

well yeah that's cause shanghai as a map was designed around the tower

[soft kayak]

and of course, this is assuming a higher player density is even good. I like the slower paced BF games

[arctic grove]

Sup ppl

[night fjord]

that still doesn't mean it is necessarily in 10 days or 20 days

[sonic geode]

Yeah

[royal swan]

yeah but it won't be heavily delayed

or delayed at all

[night fjord]

i mean i don't expect it to be, but they've only official said the beta is in September, that goes all the way from the 1st to the 30th for the beta to be in

[royal swan]

highly doubt it will be the last few weeks of september

[night fjord]

never know till they confirm it though, don't wanna get ourselves in a similar situation to gamescom where the community hypes itself up without any official info confirming

[royal swan]

late September is to close to official release

A more accurate date will be early to mid September

[night fjord]

lot of games have had betas up to release

[soft kayak]

if it isnt in September then probably a delay

[night fjord]

what says 2042 won't

[night fjord]

yeah but imo most people overreacting there won't be a delay or they woulda spoke up by now, their marketing team aren't dipshits

[soft kayak]

their marketing team aren't dipshits
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHC1230OpOg

[royal swan]

we seen the alpha its months old, if beta is the better version, it will come very soon, also the dev wouldn't make that tweet if it was delayed or more in the future

[arctic grove]

why ping breh

[night fjord]

again never said it was delayed im just saying they said it was in Sept so doesn't mean it will necessarily be early or late sept just sometime within Sept

[arctic grove]

Breh 😂😂

[royal swan]

ah shit, love to continue arguing over bullshit but it be fucking 12:00 AM

[night fjord]

i mean i hope EA a multimillion if not billion dollar company has some people okay at marketing

[lost snow]

did ea ever say 2042 was going to be at gamescon?

[soft kayak]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7ZpQadiyqs

[sullen badge]

breuh

[royal swan]

no, no they did not

[soft kayak]

being rich doesnt make you competent

[night fjord]

but it means you can pay smart people to be around you

[arctic grove]

Bruh 😂

yea but how do you pick who's smart and who's not

[lost snow]

...and pay to keep stoopid people away from you

[sonic geode]

They wouldnt have sales if they werent competent. We wouldnt be here

[night fjord]

exactly

this discord wouldn't have us two randoms talking rn

[arctic grove]

they have sales because they put 60% of development budget into marketing

[night fjord]

about this game

[arctic grove]

that's not competent

[night fjord]

if they weren't competent

[soft kayak]

if you shit out enough ads your game will sell.

[arctic grove]

Breh

😂

[night fjord]

not true at all

[arctic grove]

cyberpunk 2077 sold

[night fjord]

that was super hyped

for 8+ years

[arctic grove]

yeah with ads

they shat out enough ads

[sonic geode]

Especially considering their bad will with microtransactions, the fact that their sales are this good means that their marketing is outstanding

[night fjord]

the ads weren't constant till it was near release

[odd egret]

Yup @night fjord is right

[night fjord]

@arctic grove you're telling me they had cyberpunk ads for 8 years running?

[lost snow]

which equates to, "Gee mom, all the kool kids are getting it..."

[night fjord]

what kinda of budget they on?

[arctic grove]

i think they had 300 million budget

150 mil dev and 150 mil marketing

[soft kayak]

Cyberpunk sold well and CDPR made back their money

[night fjord]

i never said it didn't?

[soft kayak]

misinterpreted a comment

[coral nest]

I have drip gamers

[arctic grove]

the fact is 2042 launch is gonna be fucked up and we're still gonna buy it

[sonic geode]

Thats cuz of their marketing, you are working against yourself rn

[arctic grove]

and the game is gonna be a "success" cus it sold a lot of copies

[sonic geode]

Is the game outstanding?

[arctic grove]

there hasn't been a bf game for 3 years so every bf fan is gonna buy

[night fjord]

and it's modern

so the ogs are drawn in by that

[soft kayak]

they had marketing but they didnt have competence, which was the important part. The game got pulled of the PS store for crying out loud.

[sonic geode]

Bruh we were talking about competencr in marketing not competence and marketing

[night fjord]

it was the CD projekt red execs fault the devs didn't wanna release but execs pushed it out anyways and we got that hot trash

[arctic grove]

6 months later its still fucked up even though 3 major patches have come out

it's never going to be fixed

[night fjord]

it's slowly improving

[arctic grove]

but by w3 you'd say cdpr is competent

[night fjord]

see our argument is their marketing teams are competent

[arctic grove]

i don't think they own a marketing team, they just outsource it

they're a dev studio

[night fjord]

well the talk was more about EA

that's where the convo started we kinda went off to CD

[arctic grove]

paying 150 million to your own employees for marketing is financial suicide

[soft kayak]

Exactly
youre assuming EA is doing the right move because theyre rich. But being rich doesnt make you not human. It doesnt make you infallible. It doesnt undo BFV, or Anthem, or Mass Effect, or Battlefront 2. Some technical disasters, but all PR disasters. But EA didnt fail, they simply had a stock drop.

[night fjord]

im not assuming just cause they have money they're making the right move though, where did I say that?

[arctic grove]

EA is BUILT on fucking the customer so please don't praise them

[night fjord]

Im not lmaoo

[soft kayak]

They wouldnt have sales if they werent competent. We wouldnt be here
you:
exactly
this discord wouldn't have us two randoms talking rn

[white geyser]

EA needs a slap in the face

Better yet give them rude awaking

[night fjord]

everyone here thinks im sucking EA off cause im talking about their marketing team being good

[arctic grove]

well you know the launch is going to be fucked up, laggy buggy maybe 6-8 months until its playable

[soft kayak]

youre assuming their good. Theyre just big

[arctic grove]

maybe tons of hackers and no mods

maybe no mod support for servers

[royal swan]

I shall spite you, cause ngl I like EA and most of their games (expect the sports) and I shall continue buying them

[arctic grove]

maybe you like being fucked, i don't blame you? personal choice

[night fjord]

i mean to get big gotta be good though? can't deny that

[soft kayak]

no, you have to be good to get big.
You dont have to be good to stay big

[royal swan]

Do I regret, no cause the games i get are fucking amazing

[arctic grove]

ok dude

[sonic geode]

How can they drive sales without marketing

[soft kayak]

isnt the developer a better indicator than the publisher?

[royal swan]

Yes but people are to dumb too realize

[soft kayak]

Bad marketing isnt no marketing.
BFV made a profit

[sonic geode]

Thats cuz, its a bf game not a new IP

[late lark]

We still got people here trying to bait? sheesh.

[arctic grove]

anyone here remember when people used to buy games because they were fun? not because they were hyped off the charts and actually shitty games

[soft kayak]

and there we go. Youve answered your own question.

[late lark]

bait

[night fjord]

not really we just debating whether EAs marketing team is good

[soft kayak]

god what a sad soul if you think thats bait

[late lark]

Ah ok, fair.

Hey, nothing wrong with being a sad soul

thats soulist.

[arctic grove]

Are you able to play with bots in portal?

[royal swan]

Yes

[night fjord]

yes

[arctic grove]

hell yeah!!

[sonic geode]

What? The good marketing from rhe previous games got them there

It would not be a brand if their marketing was bad

And no profits for bf5

[topaz hazel]

Oo there’s a debate going on

[arctic grove]

Btw I was being an absolute asshole to you in chat yesterday. Sorry about that dude, I feel terrible about it. I was being a straight dickhead

[topaz hazel]

Ah good, a good human being

[soft kayak]

Do you think theyve been the same marketing team since BC1? People come, people go. But once the franchise became popular the need for competence in marketing went down

[royal swan]

Its alright, I tend to forget them as they are internet arguments

[sonic geode]

2042's marketing wasnt good? Their reveal, gameplay trailer, portal trailers werent good?

[arctic grove]

Yeah true. They don't hold much value

[sonic geode]

Again if they werent competent we woulsnt be here

[soft kayak]

No, we would.

its a bf game, there would be people here

[royal swan]

2042 marketing was better than BF5, why do people think it's trash

[sonic geode]

Only hardcore bf players

Noone else

[arctic grove]

I think the portal trailer was outstanding marketing. It sold me on the game

[sonic geode]

How would they know bf 2042 exists?

[soft kayak]

still conflating incompetence and absense i see

[topaz hazel]

2042 marketing is good just because they have been revealing things slowly which keeps people excited, but it becomes a problem when stuff is revealed too slowly

[soft kayak]

Everyone knew Bfv existed

2042 had a good start and theyve blown it by staying quiet

[arctic grove]

judging a release by marketing is worse than judging a book by the cover?

[tight prism]

When can we expect some new news on 2042?

[royal swan]

But it's marketing was shit

[soft kayak]

temporyals twitter

[arctic grove]

I'm sure it's to keep people interested.

[topaz hazel]

Exactly

[solar bay]

i think when theres 2-3 months left to a game launch, u should be dropping frequent news of the game every 2 weeks imo

Whether its a trailer, information or dev talks

[topaz hazel]

Ye

[soft kayak]

exactly my point

[royal swan]

Too shit that people started noticing how shit it was and telling people about how shit it was

[sonic geode]

Because of the drama with the reveal trailer, check the views and resorting to insults where you have no ground? Very sad

[soft kayak]

keep people interested by not giving anything that interests them?

[royal swan]

Hate can also make a game known

[soft kayak]

insults?

lmao

[arctic grove]

i don't know if there is anything they could do ? 2077 gave pre release copies to youtubers to play and everyone praised how amazing it is

[sonic geode]

No point talking to a brick wall tbh

[arctic grove]

The only thing I will agree on is that hazard zone should be talked about. We are almost completely in the dark about that

just wait until release and see how shit it is and accept the filth once again

[solar bay]

bf 2042 will likely be buggy at launch as all battlefields

[arctic grove]

for sure

[royal swan]

You or the wall

[soft kayak]

• claims the other dude is insulting him, randomly
• refuses to elaborate
• leaves
  https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/026/152/gigachad.jpg

[solar bay]

if the beta testing is gonna start this late, wouldnt give them the optimal time to flesh out every glitch

[arctic grove]

Yo

[arctic grove]

Yeah kinda. People are begging to see more and this makes people more invested in what gets revealed next

i actually wish it was delayed over rushed release

[soft kayak]

how many tho? Im seeing way less discussion

[sonic geode]

What?

[solar bay]

even if bf 2042 is delayed, ill only be delayed till nov

EA wont push for another year

[arctic grove]

yea prob

why do they never learn

[soft kayak]

absolutely

[arctic grove]

why cant they just give more time for development

[soft kayak]

cause their failures make profits anyway

[royal swan]

I tried to make a insult as a joke

[arctic grove]

Really? I see a lot of discussion on YouTube, Reddit, and discord. If you weren't interested would you even be here talking about it?

imagine if they rushed wolfenstein 3d or doom 2 to make more quarterly profit

[soft kayak]

on the reddit and discord for the game.
Outside of it, not as much as there used to be

[arctic grove]

[soft kayak]

mostly cause theres not much to talk about. Even this server often just meanders to random topics

[topaz hazel]

They haven’t shown uncut gameplay throughout the entire campaign which is at this point making me more worried rather than interested

[arctic grove]

maybe people arent trusting publishers as much as they used to 10 years ago

[royal swan]

Go to the steam community pages, there are plenty of topics and toxic trolls to argue about

[sonic geode]

Clearly wasnt good, try next time when you make sense

[royal swan]

I didn't get that much context, I wasn't trash

Have you tried to make a joke in a conversation where you have no idea what's going on

[soft kayak]

-scolding someone for a one off insult that didnt make sense
ok then

[arctic grove]

Hey are latest news about cheat selling and hacking on bf 2042 is correct

Should i still consider buying

[soft kayak]

wait till launch, see how it goes.

we dont know how bad it will be

[arctic grove]

But I liked to pre order to get the bonus stuff

Hope it's all normal

[soft kayak]

its just stuff

[night fjord]

yeah i mean tbh nowadays every game is getting hackers

unfortunately

[arctic grove]

Ye i guess you're right

[tribal minnow]

Why are so many problem talking about bf2042 getting delayed

Is it getting delayed?

[night fjord]

not rn

they are freaking cause of gamescom

[arctic grove]

Hacking is Normal nowadays right?

[arctic grove]

Still nothing shown/announced?

[next onyx]

So what happened in gamescom

[soft kayak]

its not a question of "are there hackers", but "how many"
wide gap between CS and Team Fortress 2

[night fjord]

they never said they'd be there

[prime ember]

Let me get it , this game got 3 years of development , 1 more than bf5 , it has no campaign , they are still charging it for 70€ , if this game is not good at launch ,i am done

[night fjord]

@arctic grove

[arctic grove]

Big sad

[night fjord]

true that

[arctic grove]

Why is playstation getting early access tho I don't understand

[night fjord]

they aren't?

[next onyx]

For what

[arctic grove]

@prime ember the games good and i love it but I'm worrying about hacking

[soft kayak]

campaign is overrated
but $70 is a scam for you console guys

[night fjord]

this game is literally marketed for xbox

like what

[arctic grove]

My thoughts exactly

https://twitter.com/2042HQ/status/1431333494391726083?s=19

[night fjord]

thats fake

[prime ember]

I don't care about campaign , the thing is that the campaign is very expensive , actors , writers etc

[arctic grove]

Hopefully

[night fjord]

Two very unofficial sources saying this

[arctic grove]

Who wants to pre order or already did?

[night fjord]

it's 100% fake

[soft kayak]

yeah it makes very little sense

[night fjord]

i preordered ultimate i believe in Dice in delivering a good game

[sonic geode]

They aren't

[soft kayak]

[arctic grove]

Good shit

[soft kayak]

before we even saw uncut gameplay

[night fjord]

hey man im willing to put my faith in dice

[soft kayak]

why?

[arctic grove]

After bfv am not as trustworthy

Me waiting for the open beta

After that I'll decide

[night fjord]

im a longtime battlefield fan and even it's clunky like bf4 launch i bet it'll turn out great still

also pre order bonuses 😉

[arctic grove]

Ultimate shit that's so much

Almost double the game price

[night fjord]

lmao ik

[arctic grove]

Not too pushed on cosmetics just early access is all I wanted

[soft kayak]

so youre just gonna pay for a game, regardless of if it works, for a weapon charm and knife?

[arctic grove]

Gold edition is better

Legit

[sonic geode]

Yeah its too expensive which is why most are going for gold lol

[soft kayak]

most are going for standard

[night fjord]

i mean if it doesn't work i think it would've been delayed by now

[amber panther]

still no BF2042 gamescom? just woke up

[topaz hazel]

Nope

[arctic grove]

And you only get one skin plus useless book and soundtrack

[soft kayak]

they could always just launch it broken

[arctic grove]

Is gamecon over

[topaz hazel]

Yes

[arctic grove]

I hope dice doesn't put weird anime alien cosmetics in the game like MW2019 did

[night fjord]

also not just for cosmetics like those are a cool incentive, more to support the game i love

[arctic grove]

Who sat in the whole Livestream waiting for a glimpse of something

[topaz hazel]

Me

[sonic geode]

From the people i have seen they have mostly gone for gold mainly for the season pass and early access to the beta

[obsidian river]

Does battlefield 5 work on 16GB ram and intel Graphics with i7??? (i know i get low FPS but still just asking)

[arctic grove]

F

Battlefield players aren't kids

Like cod

[sonic geode]

Gpu?

[soft kayak]

the people youve seen arent the average player than

[night fjord]

yeah the avg player will get standard

[arctic grove]

Intel graphics

[sonic geode]

LOL

[soft kayak]

support the game
the game doesnt need your support, theyll make plenty of money preying on whales

[amber panther]

this meme actually happening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KHIyEl49fk

[arctic grove]

Are you guys going to play the new cod?

[soft kayak]

ill give the beta a try

[night fjord]

yeah no shit they don't but i still can if I want to, I worked for my money and will spend it how I please

[sonic geode]

Why do you think they got so many studios to help make the game lmao

[arctic grove]

How much is the new cod

[soft kayak]

nobody is saying you cant, just that you shouldnt

[arctic grove]

Dice rn

[arctic grove]

I'll give the beta a shot but from what I've seen I don't have much hope in the game

[sonic geode]

Same

[night fjord]

yeah still will though 😉

[sonic geode]

As bf

[dreamy hornet]

2042 or vanguard

[arctic grove]

Will it be on steam

[arctic grove]

Vanguard

[soft kayak]

$60

[arctic grove]

Enjoy the 3 game honeymoon period then it's turns into mw with extra steps

[sonic geode]

Your hopes must be sky high lol

[soft kayak]

no, just battle eye

[dreamy hornet]

no matter how bad 2042 is
it cannot be as bad as cold war lmao
and cold war was my most played game in 2020-21
so yea, im spending more than 400 hrs on 2042 for sure xd

[arctic grove]

Then forget it

[arctic grove]

MW wasn't even that bad. Just had some bad maps

[dreamy hornet]

camperfest

[night fjord]

fr the maps was the main issue in MW

[arctic grove]

Legit

[arctic grove]

I'm willing to give it a chance

[next onyx]

Im gonna put 2k hours into 2042

[soft kayak]

and cold war was my most played game in 2020-21
why?

[dreamy hornet]

like dude MW19 is the ONLY cod game to end because of time limit

[arctic grove]

Out of my steam wallet range XD

[arctic grove]

At launch yeah. Not as many campers now

[next onyx]

If it plays well

[dreamy hornet]

no

[sonic geode]

Put 2042 hours in

[arctic grove]

Broken ghost

[night fjord]

hb 5k 😉

[granite lotus]

CDL match every game for me

[dreamy hornet]

[arctic grove]

Maps were my only issue.other than that I think it was the best cod in years

[dreamy hornet]

no

[night fjord]

same here, the only recent cod i enjoyed

[arctic grove]

Really? Last time I played it wasn't that bad

Advance warfare was the downfall of cod

[sonic geode]

Challenge accepted

[soft kayak]

never played MW which is the only reason Im interested in Vanguard

[arctic grove]

Anything after they was ass

[sonic geode]

If im being honest it wasnt even that bad

[granite lotus]

Having a 1.6 KD does that to ya ):

[night fjord]

i mean will finally beat my gaming record of like 5k+ in siege before i quit that shit show

[topaz hazel]

Mw was pretty fun, I didn’t play Cold War so I can’t say, vanguard alpha looks shit

[arctic grove]

It was pay to win super jump was first brought into the game and supply drops too

[arctic grove]

Riiight I forgot about sbmm

[sonic geode]

My 4.5k hours went into BO2

[arctic grove]

Guys I'm planning to get bf v on steam but already have it on origin, if i connect through steam everything on origin will be lost

[obsidian river]

no

[dreamy hornet]

Camperfest
stupid ass mini map
stupid sbmm
insanely fast ttk which promoted camping
camper friendly map design
ass perk system like ghost and dead silence not being a perk

if u enjoyed mw19, it means u were in the bottom barrel of skill bracket

[arctic grove]

I mean is it start a new game

[sonic geode]

Then you are screwed lmao

[arctic grove]

Vanguard made a good choice using the MW engine tho

The bocw one was trash

Can someone answer my question please

[night fjord]

idk seems like a copy and paste of cod ww2 to me

[torpid shuttle]

Recycle MW2019 in my opinion.

[sonic geode]

Oh my God dead silence was so damn annoying

[arctic grove]

Sbmm only belongs in league play or whatever competitive option there is in a game not normal pubs

[obsidian river]

oh ok thank god i din't buy the game

[sonic geode]

Yeah with the mw engine

[arctic grove]

I can see that for sure

[dreamy hornet]

exactly
and fuckvision put sbmm in casual

[sonic geode]

So no gpu?

[arctic grove]

Less WW2 and more MW for me

Fuckvision lol

[soft kayak]

from what Ive seen it looks much better than ww2. Has actual map design

[sonic geode]

The weapons are just remade from ww2

[arctic grove]

It's the same shit every year broken guns and they only fix them after adding a new broken gun so repetitive

[night fjord]

it's literally ww2 just on the mw engine

[arctic grove]

Yeah that killed cw for me

[soft kayak]

i mean... its a ww2 game

[obsidian river]

no *pain

[prime ember]

Its literally new gamemode in mw

[arctic grove]

They just reskined WW2 on mw engine and added more guns and breakable walls 🤦

[dreamy hornet]

eh... 30 frames in one hour?

[soft kayak]

seems like it.

[night fjord]

lol more like 0 frames in an hour

[granite lotus]

I love my 30fph setups

[arctic grove]

Cod reinvented itself with MW then goes back it's old ways by copying the games that were successful

[sonic geode]

Yeah, the destruction is non existent and the audio is weaker than back4blood

[obsidian river]

oh

[soft kayak]

mw was just them incorporating a bunch of battlefield features

[dreamy hornet]

this is 0.008 fps

[granite lotus]

Great description

[night fjord]

yeah the destruction they added was random plywood around the map you could shoot and it breaks in a scripted ass manner

[opaque acorn]

even more underwhelming than cold war NGL

[torpid shuttle]

My powerpoint has better fps than this...

[dreamy hornet]

@obsidian river upgrade ur system xD

[sonic geode]

Theres no problem with that but dont show off and market something like its the best thing since sliced bread

Apple vibes tbh

[arctic grove]

Gives me hope for the new one tho maybe this was a rushed project which is why it's a WW2 update which is more or less what slegehammer did last time, to save what they were actually trying to make

Either way if it has sbmm it can stay in my YouTube history

[night fjord]

fr especially when siege and battlefield both exist with 10x better destruction mechanics

[sonic geode]

Yeah the competition is literally wiping the floor already with so called destruction mechanics

Games from 3-5 years back

[soft kayak]

10 - 15 years back

[sonic geode]

True

[arctic grove]

And you know the destruction will be forgotten about after 2 new maps are added lol

[sonic geode]

Yep

Activision will then redirect sledgehammer to warzone and quite vanguard

[arctic grove]

I already own MW. A reskin doesn't get me hype at all

[arctic grove]

Yuuup. Just how they threw mw under the buss

[granite lotus]

Zombies

[arctic grove]

Zombies

[torpid shuttle]

Zombies

[arctic grove]

vanguard will have zombies right?

[limpid tree]

I didnt finish gamescom yday. Was there anything?

[arctic grove]

no lol

Zumbi

[torpid shuttle]

Yes. Recycle mode every year.

[arctic grove]

bf2042 good cod bad. I rest my case good bye

[arctic grove]

every other year ; )

[sonic geode]

Yes by treyarch who is getting milked so hard by activision for working on 4 games at once

[granite lotus]

Zombies gotta be good

[arctic grove]

yikes. if treyarchs own game only had 1 zombies map for a couple months and a ton of game breaking glitches, its looking pretty grim for vanguard

[arctic grove]

i hope both are good. i would love to be wrong about cod

[sonic geode]

I think they put a skeleton team on cold war

[arctic grove]

i dont doubt that for a second.

[sonic geode]

Cuz they had so many projects to do at once

[arctic grove]

true. and the pandemic stuff

[sonic geode]

Raven had to make the cold war campaign in under a year because of a development conflict with sledgehammer

Considering the campaign was good

I just feel bad for the devs

[arctic grove]

same

[arctic grove]

Yea Activision really only care about money it's the game studios that get the shit off fans

6am oh no

[torpid shuttle]

For BF2042 I hope they will continue add new content in Portal mode although this game will have age more than 3 years.

[sonic geode]

Yeah

[sonic geode]

I really hope the dev cycle is not 2 years again and is 3 or even 4

Imagine the polish

[sweet cairn]

Rumours of a beta in September 4th?

[arctic grove]

Sledgehammer-Treyarch-infinity ward

[arctic grove]

It's all speculation nothing solid yet

[torpid shuttle]

2 years is too short for AAA game. They can add a lot of content, if they want to do so.

[sweet cairn]

I know would have been great if they said something at gamescom

[sonic geode]

Yeah battlefield's dev cycle has been 2 years for quite sometime now hopefully it doesnt revert back. 2042 got 3

[arctic grove]

Just drop the turquoise background and a date and time awwwww if only

[sullen badge]

Hello again

[arctic grove]

Hello darkness my old friend

[torpid shuttle]

They delay because they aren't finish to fix issue or do something.

[sonic geode]

and the theme

[torpid shuttle]

Hello

[granite lotus]

Their gonna tweet and it’s gonna say “A Message from the DICE and Ripple Effect team:”

[arctic grove]

Zombies in Battlefield lol

[sonic geode]

Thats giving me PTSD

[sonic geode]

Whats up owl man

[arctic grove]

Bird person

[next onyx]

Interesting. There'll be player back grounds and emblems

[jovial quest]

Any news on beta yet

[arctic grove]

since tmmrs my birthday how bout we get sum beta info as a gift😏

[wide shore]

Aint gonna get news on a Saturday

[dull badger]

Beta is free to everyone right?

[arctic grove]

yes

[wide shore]

It is. But you get early access if you’ve preordered

[arctic grove]

theres early access for pre order owners

then open beta

[dull badger]

I have not pre ordered

[steady current]

so no info in gamescom then xD

[wide shore]

Noppee

[steady current]

as i said earlier... EA loves you

[arctic grove]

ea does not love anytging espxey money

[steady current]

i meant loves your money

[arctic grove]

lmao yeah

[wide shore]

I’m gonna give EA the biggest praise this server has maybe ever seen. They’re much better than Activision right now.

[proper cipher]

!when

[wide shore]

Damn, I can’t do it anymore.

[steady current]

i think i am gonna cancel my preorder

[arctic grove]

anything is better then activison

[steady current]

i dont like EA marketing

[arctic grove]

ivdontlikeea

[steady current]

becuase of that marketing i dont want to play it anymore

so GJ EA

[arctic grove]

james

[steady current]

i will stick another 2 years with r6 and apex

[wide shore]

My nitro expired and for some reason I can still see all my emotes. But I don’t know which ones I can still use, since I have a twitch-sub server and I can use some of those emotes.

[arctic grove]

i remeber having nitro

[wide shore]

Why would you preorder in the first place then?

[arctic grove]

thegood fays

ive never actually bought nitro

but my friends did

[arctic grove]

^

[steady current]

i didnt. I waited to gamescom all the time. But got a lot of money on steam so i thought i will preorder

[arctic grove]

There is no rush to preordering, you can literally preorder the day before the beta and get all of the benefits

[steady current]

but it was mistake anyway

[arctic grove]

we have had plenty of bf2042 trailers so im happy

[steady current]

i know

[arctic grove]

just waiting for beta now

[wide shore]

Idk man. I preordered yesterday, but I was gonna preorder once the first trailer dropped. Seems weird to cancel a preorder because you don’t like the lapse in Gamescom info?

[limpid tree]

yo yo, anyone with bf2042 on steam? Can y'all show me the date it shows?

[arctic grove]

dare foe wat

[steady current]

Becuase we dont see actual match gameplay

and there is litearally no new info about anything

[arctic grove]

yeah makes sense

[steady current]

that irish preview for me is stupid

[arctic grove]

would be nice if they released sumin

[sullen badge]

Did you guys maybe think they're radio silent because they'll drop a bunch of info all at once

rather than people screaming DELAY DELAY

[arctic grove]

Honestly its easy to pre order a battlefield game you know it getting 2 years of content that's already enough to fulfill the price tag

[steady current]

after seeing playtest i think sectors arent good and map is too empty.

[arctic grove]

boring would rather see small amounts of info and dates for things over time

[sullen badge]

Me too

[sullen badge]

Technical test isn't really a good representation of that but i guess we'll see in beta

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[limpid tree]

Since all my other assumptions or speculations haven't been met. I honestly just think they had X amount of info planned for August, they delivered it all (maybe a bit too quickly in the month) and now it's dry season till beta

[arctic grove]

the playtest litwrally isnt even alpha imo

[steady current]

i know but i doubt we will see 90% of new things than in playtest.

it will be like 10%

[wide shore]

I mean, I was saying earlier that games generate much more hype when they surprise drop trailers. Gamescom, as cool as it would’ve been to get a new trailer, BF would get lumped into “a game that was shown at Gamescom.” And not get the full attention it wants/needs.

[arctic grove]

I'm sorry but I really dislike the way that ea strings along info, OH wait for next friday for the gameplay reveal, oh wait for ea play for more gameplay, or wait a few weeks for a short film, then everyone here was like "BATTLEFIELD IS AT GAMESCOM. DO NOT DOUBT IT." Then when they don't show up, those same people say "They never said anything about gamescom". Honestly, do the cod strat and release reveal, gameplay reveal trailer, and raw gameplay within a few weeks

[sullen badge]

All i'm saying is people are so quick to jump to conclusions and make assumptions

like chill bros

[wide shore]

I mean sheit, we all thirsty for more. It’s a good thing.

[sullen badge]

also a hot tip is to ignore randoms and just look at set dates by devs

[steady current]

but there is 2 months to release and we dont know shit. Even beta dates

[arctic grove]

my hype is starting to die down ngl i better get some sort of dates of info at the start of september

[sullen badge]

Yea i'd like some info

[steady current]

personally dont care about exodus story things

want to see gameplay

[limpid tree]

Ye, I'm not one to care about seeing that gameplay anyway. But I do want to know them beta dates, that's literally it.

[wide shore]

I mean, saying we don’t know shit is kinda BS

We know a lot

[arctic grove]

im more then positive we will get beta info realll soon

[sullen badge]

Then again if you look at the devs that are actually in channel, they're playing random games and not working/doing danger control so im not concerned

[limpid tree]

Ye, usually the last month or something is crunch time

[arctic grove]

You mean the devs in the middle of a work day that can talk to people on discord? I doubt they can be used as evidence

[limpid tree]

When peeps working 10 hour days

[steady current]

yee we know 1 standard mode and 1 portal mode. nothing about hazard zone. Saw some gameplay trailers from like 1 year ago alpha build

we know literally nothing for me

[sullen badge]

You're missing my point

[arctic grove]

i honestly rely on leaked info now

[limpid tree]

That's bad lol

[steady current]

they should gives us at least previews even from DICE studio monitors

that we know everything is alright

[arctic grove]

Most people expected something at gamescom, which was warranted as battlefield usually always shows up at gamescom

last “bf 2042 thing” we got was 11 days ago

[wide shore]

We know all of the maps, most of the specialists, how classes work, how gameplay looks, the story/lore, we know a lot of gadgets. And if you peeled the forbidden fruit you likely know even more.

[sullen badge]

I think people are just looking for some sort of reassurance that the game is on track

[arctic grove]

We actually have no idea how the gameplay looks in a raw match

Besides leaks

But that was a months old build

[steady current]

i dont know most important thing. How it all looks together

[wide shore]

I’m just sayin, there’s still time.

[limpid tree]

Yeah, but if this play test wasn't too far from the real thing and is now considered as bad. There would be more PR people on damage control, but there isn't. Most of the stuff is still flying around the interwebs

[arctic grove]

Also it doesn't help when this server bans leaks, so we are waiting for something to talk about

[limpid tree]

Wow... Something under an official document that disallows spreading of un-finished, un-polished work isn't allowed? Would've never thought of that

[steady current]

i watched video i think from lossy there were marketing issues but i dont remember what it was all about

[arctic grove]

For people who never signed an nda, talking about features and having thoughts on the leaked gameplay is not illegal nor wrong

I can see sharing it

But "thoughts" are not even allowed

[wide shore]

^ @steady current

[arctic grove]

If you are talking about gamescom, battlefield is always there. Most people in this server thought that

[sullen badge]

I'm talking in general

[limpid tree]

I watched gamescom for the first time in my life lol

[arctic grove]

Gimme bf2042

[limpid tree]

And I've played battlefield starting from bf3 (and battlefield heroes, cause I'm a chad like that)

[wide shore]

As the infamous minecraft loading screen says. Always assume rumors are false, rather than believing they’re true

[arctic grove]

Again, this is gamescom, the event where battlefield always shows up. Most people in here believed that gamescom was going to be the reveal of at least hazard zone. People who are now are backing away, probably are lying. Almost everyone I meant on this server believed that

[steady current]

I know but still DICE not showing on gamescom is strange. I was ignoring everyhing else and checking only discord game-news bookmark

after all these info spam about exodus, trailers and now is silent with only 1 irish preview

[wide shore]

It’s strange, sure. But it was only ever just an educated guess

We don’t know what they have planned

[lavish shadow]

bf community right now:
no info at gamescom? game must be bad then

[wide shore]

Maybe they’ll drop a shit load of stuff Tuesday. Maybe they won’t.

But either way, there’s gonna be more before launch

[sullen badge]

What's important about tuesday?

[lavish shadow]

no shit tho

[steady current]

I always said we must learn patience and wait. But it sure is very strange anyway

[lavish shadow]

they'll definitely make a beta trailer soon, and then once thats over i bet they'll announce hazard zone to hype up f2p players before launch

[wide shore]

Just an educated guess. Most game companies drop info on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

[steady current]

h azard zone will be on october i think

[arctic grove]

Yeah some people are expecting a delay, but again I get that as most people thought, probably even you, that battlefield would be at gamescom. I think that they have more to show and that a delay is not happening

[steady current]

they said it will like before release

[lavish shadow]

lol i did think they would be

but i wouldnt go as far as saying they'll delay it

thats not rationale

[wide shore]

They did say Hazard Zone news would be fall

[lavish shadow]

yeah they said 'near launch'

[steady current]

tom said there will be 7 trailers

we got 3-4

[sullen badge]

If you're taking Tom's word as authority, i feel sorry for you

[wide shore]

Tom also caused an uproar about the playtest, and only clarified after like 2 days what he meant.

[limpid tree]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8thgmTjNGk 3:46. Dev replies that beta is in september. Calm yer asses and sit tight

[arctic grove]

Thanks mr obvious, the beta won't be in august because its over, it won't be in october because of the game release. We all knew it would be in september, people just wanted the exact dates

No offense, i was being sarcastic btw

I honestly don't care about the beta, I want to see hazard zone

[limpid tree]

Ye I get it, but it's starting to get annoying about people just crying "b... but we expected it to be there, since it was there last time". Well tough shit, no move on

[arctic grove]

True

[lavish shadow]

honestly its false to even think that the game might be delayed

[steady current]

its false to trust EA xd

[lavish shadow]

why would dice devs constantly mention september as beta date and every trailer saying itll release on oct 15/22nd if it wasnt already good enough

on twitter a few devs over the period of time explicitely mentioned that it is still happening in the same time frame

we aren't even in september yet, dice usually announces events with a trailer a week prior

at this point we're just desperately assuming beta is first week of sep but even then they have like up till 31st/1st to announce it

[signal basin]

It wouldn't be surprising either if it was delayed.

[wide shore]

I would find it very surprising if it was

[arctic grove]

Its literally a 50/50 chance on either at this point lmao.

[wide shore]

BFV was an anomaly. I forgot that game was even delayed at all. With how much they’ve been talking about how ahead of schedule they are, 2042 is apparently way farther along than it’s constituents by this point. All the marketing for EA Play, and deluxe/gold early access. There’s almost no way it gets delayed

[arctic grove]

Disappointed in Gamescom, No news about PC 2

Are we ever gonna get news about this?

[night fjord]

exactly my point no way it's the first week of sept like all this speculation is saying

[wide shore]

PC 2 is like Half Life 3, it’s never happening.

[arctic grove]

Tell me the truth, I’m ready to hear it.

[night fjord]

bruh im on pc5

[wide shore]

PC 2 is delayed indefinitely. The developers have gone under. There’s no hope

[arctic grove]

;;

[lavish shadow]

why?

literally we're not even in september

we're literally still in august

[arctic grove]

4 days till September

[lavish shadow]

yeah

[arctic grove]

We haven't heard anything

[lavish shadow]

but why would u assume it would be in the 1st

[wide shore]

As I said, there’s 0 reason to believe a delay is coming. There’s nothing to suggest it.

[lavish shadow]

theres 30 full days

[arctic grove]

I said its 50 / 50

[lavish shadow]

assuming they require ~1 month to polish the game

15th is probs the day

[wide shore]

If they were silent for like over a month, maybe.

[lavish shadow]

the last day

we have like 2 more weeks

[arctic grove]

Sure, but it still feels last minute

And many people need time to configure their computers etc

[wide shore]

Some of y’all act like you’re in a Rockstar info drought. It’s only been 11 days.

[lavish shadow]

it is weird about the specs requirement

i do agree that its weird that they can let people pre order without even saying the specs

[arctic grove]

Console folks are fine, but PC folks aren't.

Lots of people might not be able to play, or stress test their computers to see if it can work or not.

[lavish shadow]

its like saying "do u like hot stuff"
you: "yes but not too hot, just a lil bit"
and then one company is like "you want this?
you: "yes it looks awesome but how hot is it"
company: 🙂

[lavish shadow]

yeah im yet to pre order because idk if i can run it

[arctic grove]

And EA has always been in Gamescon as well, so that also sparked a lot of concern.

[night fjord]

yes they have but did they announce like every other event with this game days in advance they'd be there

[arctic grove]

You can use the playtest specs as reference

[lavish shadow]

yeah like 1 week prior

[lavish shadow]

haha yeah but they're like bf5's basically

wait shit thats uh confidential details we cant talk about

[limpid tree]

Anyone here has bf preordered on steam?

[night fjord]

yeah

[arctic grove]

yep

[night fjord]

you get it on origin automatically if your acc is connected

[arctic grove]

^^

[limpid tree]

Can you send me a ss of the date it shows on steam?

[night fjord]

sure

[arctic grove]

Oh oops

[night fjord]

i gotta dm though since i can't paste links in here

[limpid tree]

ye that's fine

[wide shore]

I think it’s safe to assume, that if your PC can’t handle BFV, it probably won’t be able to handle 2042

[night fjord]

yeah lmaoo

[lavish shadow]

XD lel

[limpid tree]

I swear the date on steam showed Oct. 23 one day

[night fjord]

might've been an error if it did

[arctic grove]

It depends on the time zone too

I bought Ultimate so It better give me those early dates LOL

[night fjord]

because it's confirmed 15th for gold+ then 22nd for everyone else

[limpid tree]

Ye, but I'm sitting in the same time zone and one day it was 23 and now it's 22

I freaking swear

[arctic grove]

Same for me too, but in a different time zone

Lol

Everyday they push the date by one day lol.

[night fjord]

imagine

[limpid tree]

But maybe I'm just halucinating since I was watching that crappy ad stream yday

[night fjord]

might've been an webpage error aswell and they fixed it

[arctic grove]

Or maybe that's an update date leak

[night fjord]

lol feeding the conspiracies i see

I still don't get all this oh they didn't show at gamescom despite not saying they would, they have to be delaying

[arctic grove]

It's possible, but unlikely tbh

[night fjord]

very unlikely imo

they have multiple studios on it

aswell as have said on multiple accounts are ahead of schedule

tbh it has to be lack of gameplay just freaking people

[limpid tree]

and the devs have also said that beta is a blast

[night fjord]

and tts despite not being representative being the only available online

[next onyx]

Regardless that they didn't say, It's disappointing they didn't show it off

[night fjord]

Oh I 100% agree

[arctic grove]

Agreed

[mighty stump]

true, isn't this the first gamescom they haven't showed up to since bc2?

[night fjord]

but it stirred up a lot of unnecessary stress in the community

[mighty stump]

I just hope we get something soon enough anyways

[next onyx]

They should have outright stated. "No, We will not be in gamescom" but then again, Dice has some weird radio silent streaks.

[arctic grove]

I believe we will be surprised how good the game will feel whenever the beta comes out.

[mighty stump]

to be fair, it wasn't just dice

there were no EA games shown off at gamescom

[next onyx]

They did show off that weird dice game

But yeah
