battlefield-2042

[sharp perch]

I will play at least a year that's for sure but is that all about cosmetics or is it effect the gameplay ? Because I don't interest with cosmetics

[proud scarab]

I don’t remember launch lol

[tranquil turtle]

bf5 has nothing compared to other titles

[worldly star]

are you still muted

[vocal tusk]

My source is... The only content available for data mine was the playtest... So that's all that has been datamimed

[grand summit]

There will be both paid battle passes and free battle passes. The free ones include all in game content like specialists etc, the paid passes are confirmed to ONLY include cosmetics so no content will be locked by pay wall

[arctic grove]

Its only one skin bundle that you can't get from any other edition

[fair coral]

Not every map was available to play on, yeah? One can assume that every gun was not available to be used.

[lost snow]

my feelings are still hurt

[edgy trout]

Where battlefield

[onyx oar]

[vocal tusk]

Not saying that what was in that test is or isn't final, I'm just saying we don't know for sure yet

[sick steppe]

lets say it like this, the difference is that with Gold Edition you have the year 1 pass...which is actually only about cosmetics

[onyx oar]

look in #game-news might be something there

[sick steppe]

and you have the next gen bundle

[lost snow]

i have 4 coons on my deck every night; cute as hell

[fair coral]

Amazing.

[sick steppe]

so...if you are not interested in cosmetics at all, then Standard Edition is the best option

[onyx oar]

Do they have a name?

[sharp perch]

Alright then, thanks

[sharp perch]

Yeah I guess

[vocal tusk]

Or if you don't want a week's early access

[livid fern]

banned

jk

[grand summit]

trash Pandas are cute

[sick steppe]

i know, but i guess you also cant get those skins in ingame shop later on?

[arctic grove]

The real question is how accessible is this year 1 pass? Can we buy it with an in game currency later on like cod points? Is the value of it expensive enough that buying gold edition actually saves you money in the long run? That’s the stuff I wish they would clarify

[fair coral]

Who do I have to see about getting a non-white name? 😄

[arctic grove]

I don't think so

[dire coral]

be a booster or regular

[arctic grove]

I have the same questions

[vocal tusk]

I hope they copy paste the apex system.

[grand summit]

You can get the battle pass later on I believe. The battle passes won't expire

[fair coral]

Bet.

[onyx oar]

Ever seen a hairless raccoon?

[hidden sand]

The info says just talk to become a regular but I've been talking and ain't got shit yet

[vocal tusk]

But just give us more, since it's a paid game

[arctic grove]

They don't give it very often as far as I know

[sick steppe]

but the skin bundle for Ultimate Edition is literally exclusive. So there is no other way to get those skins i guess?

[fair coral]

😄

[hidden sand]

Oh, I assumed it was automated via a bot

[sick steppe]

you have free pass and you have premium pass

[grand summit]

That specific bundle ya but the rest of battle passes you can pick up any time if you want. Kinda sucks how they haven't come out and out right stated this all clearly yet lol it's bits of info here and there

[jaunty peak]

This launch has brought pain

[onyx oar]

Maybe this week we will have answers

[sick steppe]

ah okay, thats what i wanted to know. Thanks 😄 I will buy the Ultimate Edition then i guess

[grand summit]

A man's balls can only get so blue. DICE where TF is the info attttt 😫

[arctic grove]

Yeah and the year 1 pass is clearly to do with the premium one, but we still don’t know anything about how it works, whether you can earn the cost of it in game later on etc

[onyx oar]

Alright goat_malone chill out

[sick steppe]

aah so you mean getting specific points in this premium pass so if you grind enough you can buy another one later on?

[tranquil kettle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/pnm10c/bf_streamer_posts_this_weird_tease_thingy_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

idk what to to think of this

what do y all think

[onyx oar]

no

[fair coral]

Absolutely nothing.

[tacit sphinx]

it’s literally his logo with a filter

[hidden sand]

DICE is just gonna continue to be silent and that's all there is to it, really
Who knows why, and it's 100% a shotty job, but they're sticking to it

[arctic grove]

More "hype marketing" instead of actual substance

Lets withold information to get them hyped

[arctic grove]

Among other things yup. The cod/fortnite(?) model means if you grind you can essentially earn the next one for free, but who knows if that’ll be the case here. It’s not the end of the world but sucks you can buy it without knowing how the model actually works yet

Does anyone know if BF2042 will be on EA play at launch ?

[tranquil kettle]

but we re getting close to the beta

[onyx oar]

they're like my gf, giving me the silent treatment

[grand summit]

Is those specific exclusive skins are worth it to you then ya that's the play. Personally I just got the gold edition for the 4 battlepasses cause I don't care for the sound track and extra stuff

[arctic grove]

Ea play pro for full game, 10 hrs for ea play

[fair coral]

Allegedly.

[high fractal]

Where is beta?

[livid fern]

it is a little sad cod having like 2 betas already

[arctic grove]

Bet

[onyx oar]

#game-news has something

[arctic grove]

Who is beta

[sick steppe]

do you guys think my laptop with 16GB RAM, 8GB VRAM (RTX 2070) and i7 10750h Processor will do fine with easily above 60fps at Ultra Settings?

[hidden sand]

Having to actually play the game before you can even get an opinion on it (Not necessarily an opinion on gameplay), is a sign of bad marketing

[arctic grove]

Probably, but I am not used to laptop gpus

[foggy cedar]

How is beta

[arctic grove]

Why is beta

[sick steppe]

they are obviously not at 1:1 strength compared to PC ones

[grand summit]

Dice are betas for nothing releasing beta info

[sick steppe]

but i hope that will work aswell

[plush onyx]

I fine, how you?!

[sacred depot]

the subscription ea play?

nope

[high fractal]

Y u no give beta

[sacred depot]

it'll be on ea play but not on launch

[hidden sand]

We haven't gotten anything from DICE since exodus which is definitely concerning imo, but oh well

[worldly star]

yes it will be

[arctic grove]

60fps at ultra really also depends on map, I get 120fps on ultra on hamada but only 55 on rotterdam. So we can't say for sure

[tranquil kettle]

mh

you re right

[sick steppe]

BF4 worked for me easily at 100+ FPS at ultra settings, but BF 2042 is a bigger league

[sacred depot]

not on launch it wont

[arctic grove]

No beta

[tranquil kettle]

they said it

[arctic grove]

Oh

[grand summit]

We also got a shitty meme they posted on their twitter 🥲

[plush onyx]

I don't give to noone.

[tranquil kettle]

dice said its in september

[high fractal]

😦

[sick steppe]

damn, which specs do you have if i may ask?

[arctic grove]

Lol

[tranquil kettle]

its confirmed thats september but we dont known when yet

[arctic grove]

It's been "leaked" for like September 22nd

[fair coral]

They said September. That could be one day to one week, to several weeks.

[arctic grove]

I think

Or the 25th

[arctic grove]

1660 super, i5 9400f

OMG BETA IS HERE

And talking

[tranquil kettle]

i mean we re already at the 14th

[plush onyx]

Hi! I beta! How you?

[tranquil kettle]

it cant be in more than a week

[hidden sand]

It could be the 31st and they'd still be true to their word

[arctic grove]

Hi beta

[fair coral]

You in the future? I am jealous. 😦

[high fractal]

I good

[tacit sphinx]

this is just... not true? we’ve had the specialist gameplay snippets, various re-confirmations of the beta being this month still, the soundtrack release, etc

[high fractal]

When is beta @plush onyx

[sacred depot]

No, Battlefield 2042 will not be freely available with EA Play. ... EA Play members (including Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers) will have early access to Open Beta and a 10-hour trial of Battlefield 2042 starting on October 15, 2021.

( probs will be added later in the games life tho )

[fair coral]

But only 30 days. 👀

[tranquil kettle]

well here its already the 14th

[sacred depot]

@arctic grove

[arctic grove]

Ask beta is in chat

[arctic grove]

Ah thanks

[fair coral]

Ahh, you must be overseas and the such.

[slender oriole]

well it's 14, not everywhere in the world

[plush onyx]

I birthed December 1, 1977. You come to birthday party?

[sick steppe]

ah okay, on the other hand BF 2042 will have even more players on the map etc

so it will be more demanding

[plush onyx]

Hi! I beta, how you?

[arctic grove]

Tbh what I find more worrying is those specialist montages being recycled from the really old press videos, and how it shows they really had nothing nice and new and polished to show off. Course it doesn’t matter in the long run but that defib animation is so painful to watch

[tacit sphinx]

i won’t lie i see people talking about pc specs and i’m just like “the numbers.. what do they mean”

[arctic grove]

I think he means of substance. Specialist gameplay is from a pre-alpha from months ago, also we knew the beta would be in september, so confirming it doesn't change anything unless a delay was considered, and most poeple do not care about the soundtrack, But I agree that they did release something, but they didn't release what people wanted: uncut gameplay or a beta date

[arctic grove]

Your so cool beta

[tacit sphinx]

looking at getting a monitor and i have no idea what anything means

[hidden sand]

Heavily edited, heavily scripted gameplay from an old build that doesn't reflect the game at all according to devs. Lots of WIP animations, unfinished locations, etc.
It was also reused, because they originally showed it off in June.
"Beta re-confirmations" Is not even remotely news imo, they've already confirmed it'll be this month ages ago.
The ost is purely music, it has nothing to do with the actual gameplay.

[plush onyx]

This Illuminati code, they created for me--mek confuze worlds.

[arctic grove]

Wow, we basically had the same thoughts lol

[plush onyx]

Thenk!

[slender oriole]

is it difficult to wait?

[hidden sand]

This has nothing to do with waiting. I'm cautious. Being concerned doesn't equal impatience.

[sick steppe]

true story

[tacit sphinx]

yeah my point was more that it’s disingenuous to pretend there has been nothing when there has, indeed, been stuff, even if it’s not exactly what you may have wanted

[slender oriole]

they will show everything, then you can be concerned if it isn't good

[arctic grove]

Just know that the intel celeron and a 1030 is currently the peak gaming setup at the moment

That's all you need to know

[sacred depot]

I entered what probs will be a 1/1 million sweepstake for a 2042 special computer

[tacit sphinx]

[sacred depot]

Its a ranger pc

with 16 gigs of ram and shit

its literally a supercomputer

[hidden sand]

You can feel how you want, but the silence has me concerned and I can be concerned about that if I want to.
I want this game to perform amazingly well, Portal is the best addition to this series since bots in 2142. I'm cautiously excited. I don't have to admire everything DICE does. You sure can, but I'm going to criticize what I think is a poor job.

[foggy cedar]

They haven't even so much as hinted at a delay. I wonder what the silence is about.

[tranquil turtle]

what are the full specs

[tacit sphinx]

i know just enough about the numbers to know 1030 is old/underpowered

[arctic grove]

I rather be concerned about the gameplay rather than the absence of information

[sacred depot]

The intel pentium is the most powerful piece of hardware known to man

[slender oriole]

silence doesn't mean it is in bad condition, they are just preparing everything and stopped comunicating for a thing everybody knows

[arctic grove]

Celeron is way better

[tacit sphinx]

most likely intentional - if they announce stuff and then have to make changes it will blow up, better to take a little flak about being quiet than have way more of that when you have to make a change

[sacred depot]

celery

[hidden sand]

Did I ever claim so? All I've said is the silence is concerning, I've never stated what state I think the game is in.

We're 30 days from Pre-Load, this much silence since Exodus concerns me. But we'll just have to see.

[slender oriole]

we haven't seen gameplay, how can you be concerned?

[foggy cedar]

That...actually makes sense. Everyone just shuts the hell up while a bunch of last minute changes are made. So if they change something and change again no one is there to make a fuss.

[slender oriole]

i mean official gameplay not that shitty leaked things

[tacit sphinx]

could also argue that it’s a response to bfv’s marketing - while a lot of that reception was down to the reveal trailer, some might say that we were oversaturated with details that we didn’t actually need

[worldly star]

wrong. intel atom is far superior

[green breach]

All about the pentuims

[slender oriole]

and if you want to know dice said to a game changer they stopped comunicating for all the leaks

[arctic grove]

If you asked me a couple weeks ago I’d be like “y’all just impatient, wait for the beta and everyone will completely forget about the lack of marketing” but it really is insanely late now to not even release some hazard zone lore or something

[sturdy kelp]

[tacit sphinx]

vs this strategy of basically dragging stuff out a bit which is clearly working since basically everyone is just looking forward for more info

[foggy cedar]

My feelings were the same on that. I'm usually ready to sit back and be patient, but we're really coming up on them dates.

[arctic grove]

No that's the point, I rather be concerned because of gameplay they showed, instead of being concerned for the lack of information

[vital cloud]

btw for those who wanna know, heres a list of the guns seen in the trailer https://www.pcgamesn.com/battlefield-2042/guns-best-weapons

[green bridge]

Hey guys. What Date roughly will the Beta come out?

[tacit sphinx]

i think something small last week like a specialist clip would have been nice but it’s whatever, if i had to guess i would say some bigger news this week

[arctic grove]

22nd to the 30th, in between those dates

[hidden sand]

This has nothing to do with patience for me, they could delay the game till December of next year and I wouldn't mind as long as they're transparent about it.
The lack of transparency is really disappointing considering BFV.

[green bridge]

Thanks bro

[tacit sphinx]

(don’t quote me on that i have literally no more info than anyone else )

[slender oriole]

this week they will show something, don't know what because game changers can't tell but there is something

[hidden sand]

BuT YouR a MoDErAtOR
yOu knOW inFo DoWn To ThE CoDE

[arctic grove]

NEW INFO CONFIRMED BY OFFICIAL SOURCE

[slender oriole]

I mean an italian game changer said they will tell something this week

[modern basin]

Discord moderator

[tacit sphinx]

nooo don’t turn me into a marketable IGN headline

[foggy cedar]

Discord moderator. Official source.

[arctic grove]

No gamerant

[foggy cedar]

Wheezing.

[modern basin]

I get my leaks from a homeless man and the weird quiet kid at my school

[hidden sand]

People have unironically thought so

[sacred bobcat]

So why keep a big secret on beta release date

[modern basin]

They both said that the among us imposter is coming to BF2042

[tacit sphinx]

yeah there’s this picture of a cat with a comment that says “don’t delete this it breaks the entire game”

[arctic grove]

"hype" supposedly

[tacit sphinx]

[arctic grove]

Sus

[tough zenith]

Game out in a month for early access and not one peep? Come on

[modern basin]

Very says

Did

[sacred bobcat]

Bruh no hype there just fans getting irritated

[modern basin]

Sis

Shags Baja do

[arctic grove]

You aren't interested in the soundtrack?

[hidden sand]

This is what I can't figure out
If they want to maximize preorders, I'd imagine them announcing a date as early as they can

[modern basin]

Fucking auto correct

[arctic grove]

"says"

[sacred bobcat]

Exactly

[modern basin]

What do you guys think about the soundtrack though

[tacit sphinx]

i like it

[hidden sand]

Fucking love it

[arctic grove]

Oh yeah I still need to check out the soundtrack and all this drama bout it

[foggy cedar]

Ya'll know that soundtrack is about to hit different when you see the glitched up visuals rolling with it.

[hidden sand]

2nd fav ost now

[arctic grove]

Sounds like something that you would use for interrogating war criminals

[hidden sand]

BF1 remains 1st though

[sacred bobcat]

Yupp

[foggy cedar]

This.

[arctic grove]

Is there a timestamp for what people said sounded like shit in the ost

[tacit sphinx]

the main theme is... i get why people don’t like it, although personally i think it fits thematically

[hidden sand]

Just pretty much all of the main theme

[arctic grove]

Bf1 looks amazing to say its the first battlefield game released

[modern basin]

I listen to it while spraying white porpospherous in the interrogation room

[hidden sand]

I love the main theme personally

[sacred bobcat]

No its just that it sounds like an old ost just new music

[golden harbor]

When does the 10 hours of ea play come out?

[sacred bobcat]

What people said

[arctic grove]

Launch supposedly, I'm guessing the standard edition launch

[arctic grove]

Beta date??

[fair coral]

I have honestly been listening to it a lot lately. While initially I DID NOT like it at all, I have sort of changed my opinion on it. It seems like, or at least from Exodus, that there is some sort of cyber-terrorism going on. So the weird experimental and almost industrial tones sort of make sense. THere are a few tracks that I absolutely still do not like, but eh. My overall opinion on it has changed.

[golden harbor]

aight

wait is there EA/DICE people in this server?

[arctic grove]

Roger that, will report back when I’ve taken a listen

[tacit sphinx]

hopefully, and it would make sense given the timescales, but nothing official

[modern basin]

Wall jaz is my jam

[modern basin]

I agree

[arctic grove]

No, this isn't an official discord server, no one of importance comes here <--- joke for people who don't get sarcasm

[tacit sphinx]

wall jazz threw me for a loop lol

[modern basin]

Although I do think the main theme is eh

[hidden sand]

Main theme is so fucking good imo

[golden harbor]

Aight I better stop asking for skate 4 XD

[hidden sand]

I feel like I'm alone in thinking this

[fair coral]

I think the one track I don't like the most is Tipping Point? I think that was the title of it.

[arctic grove]

Lol

[modern basin]

The main theme sounds like they just added the glitch effect to it

[foggy cedar]

It'll grow on people, I think. A lot of the songs, I realized, are very 'ambient'. Like the songs don't seem to go too well alone, but add to the "The future of mankind is bleak" vibe. The distorted strings remind me of how the reporter in Qatar was talking about how the neon signs had nopat glitches on them.

[tacit sphinx]

naw i liked it although i don’t think it’s the best track on the album

[golden harbor]

mate There is one part of the song that sounds like my iphone is ringing and it always gets me

[hidden sand]

I listen to a lot of Ling Tosite Sigure though, so that's probably why I like it so much lol

[arctic grove]

What if all music was like that in 2042

[tacit sphinx]

yeah that was my thoughts, it kinda creates this soundscape more so than a specific melody which i think will work really nicely in a match

[foggy cedar]

It's less about the songs being dope and more about the narrative, the composer also did Chernobyl. Lemme tell you the Chernobyl soundtrack is ASS by itself, but it adds SO MUCH to the show.

[modern basin]

I only like the beginning of the theme but when it comes to the classic battlefield melody, it seems very minimal in hype

[fair coral]

I do like the apparent "story" of the game though.

[modern basin]

The orbital song reminds me a lot of Chernobyl

[arctic grove]

Ok immediately, why does the theme remind me of the Witcher with whatever instrument that is

i'm so excited to play orbital

[foggy cedar]

Yuuup

[fair coral]

Some sort of rogue military outfit, the ideas of operatives from all over the world coming together. It's all very Rainbow Six-y. I can dig it.

[modern basin]

Especially the ticking part

[hidden sand]

My friend told me this works really well in game and sounds really nice and atmospheric

Just

Speculation, though

[foggy cedar]

That's what I'm saying. The music isn't meant to be heard alone. I don't really like the soundtrack, but it's obvious it's meant to inspire a certain feeling.

[hidden sand]

[arctic grove]

i don't see how loud distorted sounds going around my head in stereo will make the game any better

:reallyconcerned:

[arctic grove]

I agree, but as someone who likes listening to soundtracks by themselves(don't hate me), this one doesn't sound good honestly, but I get this is more ambiance

[foggy cedar]

There are songs. And there are ambient tracks.

I think we got an OST full of the latter.

[hidden sand]

Your pfp looks like some annoyed grandmother frustrated with someone pestering her, can't unsee it

[tacit sphinx]

yeah

[arctic grove]

I agree, but as a "soundtrack" and the "main theme" that isn't an ambient song

But I agree some are ambient

But the main theme is meant to be front and center

[arctic grove]

schizophrenia

[foggy cedar]

But it does go with how fucked up the world and the rest of the soundtrack is.

THe main theme is actually at the END of the ost.

[arctic grove]

I like the main theme......until it got distorted honestly

In the actual game I’m sure you’ll only be hearing certain riffs of these songs, in the same way that a movie never outright plays the entire song

[hidden sand]

I'm excited to hear the variations of themes that'll be at launch

[foggy cedar]

I'm sure there will be other variants. If not, I'm sure we'll see a lot of artist players make remixes.

[arctic grove]

My people have you forgotten about #game-news ?

[foggy cedar]

Forced meme at this point

[arctic grove]

Cool, can't wait

Not forced

Required

[foggy cedar]

Yup, likewise.

[fair coral]

It was a great meme for the few hours that it was.

[arctic grove]

It was meant to last 😂

[fair coral]

Lmao.

[hearty kiln]

It's odd they're choosing to not make a campaign at all

[foggy cedar]

Bringing it back again bespeaks certain... behavioral patterns.

[hearty kiln]

Most ppl view it as fluff in an fps but some enjoy them

[slow valve]

beta when?

[hidden sand]

No it's not, Portal and Hazard Zone

[arctic grove]

Campaigns cost so much. Like 50% of the budget, now they are using all that money on multiplayer ( Something that lasts)

[hidden sand]

This

[fair coral]

I feel that, but at the same time...we are getting the full multiplayer experience, Hazard Zone, and Portal. I think I could forego a campaign for all of that.

[foggy cedar]

THIIIIIIISSS

[arctic grove]

I agree, but a campaign in this unique story would be cool

Or just an open world game (I know they wouldn't make it), but this story has so much potential

[foggy cedar]

I was so happy when they said no campaign. There will be a story, but a campaign is a budget sink they put into multiplayer

[hidden sand]

Only if DICE finally got some decent writers lol

[tacit sphinx]

true, after exodus i was kinda like “damn actually a campaign would be cool too”

[arctic grove]

Ofc it would be cool, I wouldn't mind one either, but I wouldn't die without it either.

[foggy cedar]

And this is coming from someone who LOVED all the other campaigns

[vocal tusk]

No reason they can't weave a story into the multilayer

[hearty kiln]

Assets are usually used from story for multiplayer maps though, I just think it's an odd choice. They're going the siege lore route it seems where they...gasp... make you read

[foggy cedar]

They said they were going to, I believe

[tacit sphinx]

but if they put out like a cinematic or two per season i’d be happy as well

[arctic grove]

They already confirmed that but in reality it will be a cutscene that starts in every season

[copper fulcrum]

People are forgetting that cutscenes and shit existed for Operations.

[tacit sphinx]

plus the whole aspect of it in MP

[edgy cape]

Lol imagine this week we get 0 info as well that would be crazy

[foggy cedar]

I feel like they might take the fortnite /destiny route.

[fair coral]

Definitely this. It would be cool to play through, discover what is going on, see who the bad guy is. It would be super cool. But I think they will most likely give us the cinematic "shorts" to explain major story points and the such.

[vocal tusk]

A story cinematic for each new season would be sick

[foggy cedar]

Where each season more of the story is told.

[hidden sand]

BF1 did the best at implementing a story into MP

[copper fulcrum]

ye

[hidden sand]

Operations was amazing

[arctic grove]

its more than that. HEAPS of scripting, AI, voice actors who now have to also "act" lol not just sitting in a booth.

[fair coral]

I can only assume that making a 10 minute video every so often would be cheaper than an entire campaign. I could be wrong though.

[foggy cedar]

Like, it gives us new reasons for putting foot to ass.

[copper fulcrum]

V did an okay job, I would've enjoyed soldier dialog over it though like BF1 did

[tacit sphinx]

honestly an open world game of 2042 in the aftermath of all the various events would be dope

[copper fulcrum]

SEP-TEM-BER

[arctic grove]

I am sure that Exodus costed them at least 2 million 😂

[arctic grove]

I agree

CGI films are so expensive

[fair coral]

Still probably cheaper than a campaign.

[vocal tusk]

Exodus was great and it was mainly 3/4 voice actors at the forefront

[hidden sand]

I just hope the story eventually leads into the EU and PAC

[arctic grove]

yeah it is.

[foggy cedar]

I really, really hope they keep the voice that screamed "INCOMING FIIIIIREEEE" like he was already getting his legs blown off.

That shit was so hype

[tacit sphinx]

significantly cheaper than a full campaign

[fair coral]

Which, I am okay with them doing something like that.

[tacit sphinx]

and less resource intensive generally

[fair coral]

Take Escape from Tarkov for example.

[hidden sand]

I "Speculate" this is in-game as one of caspers voicelines

[fair coral]

i loved the live action series they made for the game.

[hidden sand]

But it's just speculation

[tacit sphinx]

don’t have to spend months making maps that usually end up in one mission and that’s it

[hearty kiln]

I'd rather them exclude sp campaign than half ass one though. Having background "lore" is a lot easier to write as you dont have to flesh it out much

[vocal tusk]

I honestly think that BC2 was the last BF story campaign I enjoyed. Mostly due to the humor

[hearty kiln]

Truckasaurus rex

[arctic grove]

Aight ive given it a listen and I can definitely see why people would hate the screechiness, but at least it’s got a lot more layers this time around instead of just purely that bassy doomph noise

[fair coral]

I'll tell you one thing.

I'd love to open the main theme up in like, Ableton or whatever, to see how many instrument channels and what not are present in the track.

[arctic grove]

I would say its not "bad" its grown on me, however it just doesn't sound like a Battlefield sountrack.

[foggy cedar]

It's a good speculation, though there are already specialists in the trailers that haven't been announced.

[tidal glen]

reminded me of generation kill sometimes

[vocal tusk]

Lol

[hidden sand]

Keep the "" in mind there,

[frigid belfry]

BC2 was class.

[foggy cedar]

"Speculation."

[frail imp]

Where is the beta ?

[foggy cedar]

lmaop

[azure lodge]

No date has been announced.

[tacit sphinx]

[hidden sand]

Casper has a really nice voice

[tacit sphinx]

currently no confirmed date for it

[arctic grove]

Please ensure to keep an eye on #game-news for futher information

[frail imp]

Are you sure ?

[vocal tusk]

Rush in BC2 was amazing. I can't wait for Arica Harbour in portal

[fair coral]

Can confirm 👀

[arctic grove]

@frail imp Please ensure to keep an eye on #game-news for further information

[frail imp]

Are you sure ?

[tacit sphinx]

yes

[hidden sand]

If we can get Hanger 21 in Portal that would be amazing

[foggy cedar]

Dead. lmfao

[tidal glen]

yeah bc2 was amazing i loved the sound in that game

[arctic grove]

@frail imp Please ensure to keep an eye on #game-news for further information

[vocal tusk]

I loved recon mortar strike

[tidal glen]

yeah recon was crazy in that game

[hearty kiln]

Rush is just the best game mode in general

[tacit sphinx]

honestly i wonder if a specialist might have a mortar specialty gadget or something

[timber mulch]

Beta next weeeeeeek?

[tidal glen]

conquest is better overall but rush in bc2 was way better

[spring lance]

I hope portal gets plenty of updates, imagine basic level editing (wall/floor placement, weapon pickups, props) and more maps, we could do crazy shit

[fair coral]

Rush is still my favorite game mode.

[arctic grove]

@timber mulch Please ensure to keep an eye on #game-news for further information

[tame cobalt]

Bf1 mortars kinda annoying

[fair coral]

Mortars in general are annoying.

[arctic grove]

Not if you were using them XD

[hidden sand]

AT LEAST give us AI placement for maps so we can make scenarios

[fair coral]

I witnessed someone go 57/0 with only a mortar last night in BF1. 😦

[tame cobalt]

Give them limited ammo maybe

[vocal tusk]

I'd love it. Maybe a toned down version, but it was such a great way to move or stop a camping tank

[tidal glen]

id like to see port valdez in portal too

[spring lance]

rush is my favourite by far when playing with friends, it really focuses the action when there’s only like 4-6 people

[tacit sphinx]

yeah it’s one of those things where they are kinda cool to have but they’re also really annoying to come up against because of the nature of indirect fire, and especially like bf1 they were basically just broken in some cases

[arctic grove]

What about a specialist with a spawn beacon?

[fair coral]

I think I just have a bomb-planting fetish or something. Like in CoD, Search and Destroy was the only game mode I ever liked. LOL.

[tacit sphinx]

this would make sense although i could also see that being just a free slot gadget

[vocal tusk]

C4 UAVs anyone?

[hidden sand]

I really wish specialists didn't have unique gadgets lol

[tacit sphinx]

C4 casper drone

[vocal tusk]

Lol

[arctic grove]

hm true yeah, but perhaps this Spawn Beacon is more for the whole team other than just your squad, but I can also see this being broken af

[tacit sphinx]

i like that they specifically confirmed that is possible because they knew everyone would want to know

[spring lance]

true, true. That being said, that’s likely to be significantly more difficult than static objects, depending on how Frostbite handles nav and shit like that

[hidden sand]

I'm completely supportive of Specialists but I wanna be able to use any gadget with Falck 😔

Falck is my fav man

[fair coral]

I do not like the idea of the specialists, tbh. We will see how it plays out though, I may come around to it.

[vocal tusk]

Specialists are perfect for BF IMO

[tacit sphinx]

that’s true, and honestly i wouldn’t be entirely surprised if some specialists basically had upgraded versions of regular gadgets

[tidal glen]

yeah im not a big fan of specialists but i think it will work out fine

[spring lance]

Idea: specialist with an extra universal gadget slot, so people can play like a classic BF soldier

[arctic grove]

yeah lol, and honestly I'm all for it. It doesn't have to be crazy creative lol!

[vocal tusk]

So many more options to add new characters, rather than just new gadgets and weapons

[tacit sphinx]

so a squad spawn beacon as standard kit, and then one specialist has one that people from outside the squad can use - although you probably don’t want 63 players coming from the same spot

[hidden sand]

I hope the 2042 gadgets aren't exclusive to 2042 specialists and BF3 and BC2 classes can use them

[tacit sphinx]

perhaps have it so like only recon class specialists can spawn on it

[vocal tusk]

The stuff they have are basically things soldiers had in past games. At least so far

[spring lance]

the specialist specific gadgets won’t be usable, at least not fully. However, the universal gadgets yes

[arctic grove]

soldiersbhadnin

[tacit sphinx]

idk spitballing, that kinda sounds a little underwhelming unless they had a good trait as well

[arctic grove]

yeah it can be abused. But perhaps with limited uses?

[hidden sand]

Do we know this for sure though?

[arctic grove]

Their ability will let you hear "Enemy com chatter" lol

[tidal glen]

im just really hoping for a titan mode added in the future

[vocal tusk]

The specialist recons passive perk seemed underwhelming

[pearl bobcat]

question

what is this?

https://gyazo.com/a8170a3410f12e6f73d1aefd093b71a3

[spring lance]

This appears to be the case based on portal gameplay and info we’ve gotten so far, yeah

[hidden sand]

It actually said "+2042 content"

[hardy kestrel]

That is the wd bf 2042 branded storage drive

[vocal tusk]

A fast nvme ssd bundled with 2042

[tacit sphinx]

not as a trait, but some sort of placeable field mic that does... something regarding comms and/or general sound could be pretty interesting

[hardy kestrel]

Comes with the game for frwe

[hidden sand]

So we can expect some of it at least, specialist exclusive gadgets are definitely unknown though

[pearl bobcat]

what does it

do

[spring lance]

imo something kinda weird to me is the fact that the grapple dude is classed as assault, since his kit is like perfect for sniping

[vocal tusk]

How many are there at launch?

[tacit sphinx]

it’s a storage drive
it stores things

[hardy kestrel]

It's just a super fast ssd drive

[tacit sphinx]

10 specialists

[tidal glen]

wonder if motion mines will make a comeback

[vocal tusk]

And we know how many? 4,5?

[spring lance]

McKay is gonna be insane at counter-sniping with his passive ability

[pearl bobcat]

and it comes with bf2042?

[tacit sphinx]

we have 5 fully outlined (the initial 4 plus Irish), and we know the names of the other 5 with a guess at some of their abilities

[rain hatch]

no

it doesnt

[arctic grove]

Well my guess is that this coming Wednesday we will be getting more information on the other specialists.

[rain hatch]

if it did it would be a steal

too big of a steal

money lost

[fair coral]

Hmm.

[vocal tusk]

That drive says it comes with a full game code

[pearl bobcat]

i wanna know if sundance is a boy or girl

[rain hatch]

oh ye i see it

was gonna say

[arctic grove]

Girl

[rain hatch]

wheres my free nvme for preordering

[tacit sphinx]

navin rao - probably hacking equipment or something, saw something called “trojan network” in a portal clip
sundance - wingsuit
delta (aka espinoza) - quite possibly something to do with explosives, and i believe was seen with a ballistic shield
ji-soo paik - don’t know really, her involvement seemed to be in a infiltration/hacking type position but how much that was for story we don’t know
constantin anghel - penguins? idk, probably a support class specialist though since the others don’t seem to fit that

[rain hatch]

xd

[hidden sand]

I can't wait to play as Rao

[pearl bobcat]

Espinoza is Romanian i think

[hidden sand]

His design is really nice

[tacit sphinx]

i think he’s mexican

[hidden sand]

He looks fucking sick on the cover too

[pearl bobcat]

actually

[vocal tusk]

You'd wonder just how useful a wingsuit is gonna be.

[pearl bobcat]

hes probably Spanish

[tacit sphinx]

name, tattoos and the fact that he has a mexican flag on his helmet all point towards that

[pearl bobcat]

he does?

[arctic grove]

My dad’s birthday was Saturday

[hidden sand]

Especially in comparison to the advanced parachute option that let's you holster your gun in exchange for better movement

[pearl bobcat]

where does he have a mexican flag?

[arctic grove]

It was a real

By the way what happened to cursed cat thread?

BLAST

[tacit sphinx]

wingsuit is most likely their trait since there was a snippet from sundance’s perspective and there was what looked to be some sort of explosive

[arctic grove]

Everyone is saying He is Romanian.

But he appears Mexican

DICE PLZ??

Taco land?

[tacit sphinx]

i believe in the tornado scene where they’re all like “oh shit”

[vocal tusk]

I just mean, is verticality gonna be such a thing that it makes wingsuit viable on many maps

[arctic grove]

They just didn’t want to fight anymore

[pearl bobcat]

so there are 2 Canadians?

i believe

[arctic grove]

Guess we will have to see

[pearl bobcat]

in bf2042

one is mackay

and that guy who got stabbed by espinoza

[tacit sphinx]

so mackay and also mackay

[flat brook]

So who all preordered? i got gold

[foggy cedar]

Ultimate here.

[tacit sphinx]

that was the same guy i believe

[arctic grove]

Espinoza stabs Rao on the crane

If memory serves

[vocal tusk]

As in doctor rodney mackay?

[vocal tusk]

😄

[hidden sand]

Damn doing my boy Rao dirty like that

[arctic grove]

lol

[tacit sphinx]

in this one he stabs mackay

[pearl bobcat]

There's also a Australian specialist

his name is Coyote or somethin

[arctic grove]

Stabby

yeah, but we know nothing about

[tacit sphinx]

same, best option for me since i’ll be playing on ps4 to start and then hopefully upgrade to ps5 later

[arctic grove]

Ultimate baby!

[tacit sphinx]

(plus cool skins go brr )

[pearl bobcat]

im not gonna preorder

[vocal tusk]

Got a 3080 a few weeks back, so my pc is ready

[hidden sand]

I think my only concern for specialists is wacky voicelines and them being the same on each team

[tacit sphinx]

nope

[tidal glen]

still holding off on pre order just doesnt feel right after bf5

[flat brook]

It’s the best option for me because I have a ps5 but my brother plays my old PS4 so it’s essentially like buying two games. My brother will be able to play with me with gold edition

[tacit sphinx]

coyote is a term for human smuggler, basically

[flat brook]

Since other users can play primary users games

[arctic grove]

Yeah ultimate doesn't seem worth it. The chef skin looks silly

[pearl bobcat]

chef?

[foggy cedar]

We get a chef skin?

[hidden sand]

He looks like an edgy butcher

[vocal tusk]

You know South Park? Him

[foggy cedar]

I liked it.

[tacit sphinx]

i quite like the skins included in ult but idk if i could justify the extra spend for just those

[pearl bobcat]

who

[arctic grove]

omg I think there is an all black uniform for Espizona! Looks sooo coool

But it looks like a tactical chef

[hidden sand]

I can't really figure out why they decided on having them be the same for each team

[pearl bobcat]

Operator customization sounds cool

[vocal tusk]

I just hope it's not all just full outfits like in apex. I hope we get to swap out individual equipment pieces

[mortal prism]

Espinoza has Mexican(Mayan) Tattoos

[tacit sphinx]

yeah i think it might look a bit less silly in game, just looks a bit odd with the render lighting and it’s just imposed on the background image

[pearl bobcat]

but i hope bf2042 doesn't have those catgirl headphones or clown suits

[copper fulcrum]

and a Mexican Flag on him

[arctic grove]

Any news but the soundtrack 🤣

[copper fulcrum]

Soundtrack is the only news you'll ever get

ever

[tacit sphinx]

nahhh gimme boris with cat ear headphones any day

[mortal prism]

I noticed that tatoos, not the flag. I'll look again.

[fair coral]

Oh goodness, lmao.

[arctic grove]

Lmao

@arctic grove Please ensure to keep an eye on #game-news for further information

I need a pink bunny skin

[arctic grove]

Ok I did bro I was just teasing u guys 😄😂😂

[arctic grove]

No teasing!

Please ensure to keep an eye on game-news for further information

Like if there's no pink bunny onesie then I'm boycotting bf

[arctic grove]

Dode needs to chill give him a hot dog 🌭

[fair coral]

Only if they give us a lever-action too. 😄

[arctic grove]

Here hotdogs 🐕

[arctic grove]

I'll have a hot dog if you please ensure to keep an eye on #game-news for further information

[copper fulcrum]

Make sure you set your #game-news role so you definitely don't miss out anything that happens in #game-news

[pearl bobcat]

will there be gun skins

[tacit sphinx]

i know it was kinda small but i actually really liked those renders partwelsh tweeted after the specialists gameplay snippets

[arctic grove]

🤣

[vocal tusk]

I'm super glad the nerfed res on the healing pistol though

[fair coral]

What renders? Got a link?

[arctic grove]

PRAISE #game-news

[arctic grove]

Yea a hotdog 🐕🐕😜

[tacit sphinx]

plus confirmed the bullpup pkm which is

one sec

[fair coral]

😄

[arctic grove]

Hot dog

[vocal tusk]

Metal Gear!!!!!!

[arctic grove]

That dog is hot

Asf

[tight rain]

https://tenor.com/view/bunnies-what-confused-meh-gif-13712192

[arctic grove]

That’s why I call this dog a hotdog 🌭

[pearl bobcat]

tbf i would rather throw first aid pouch across the map than shoot someone with the syringe to heal someone

Ye but hotdogs are never hot. At least in my experience, they're always cold and the rolls are tough

[arctic grove]

No bunnies in the chat only robot dog it’s appropriate

[copper fulcrum]

Where the fuck you get your hot dogs at?

[arctic grove]

I live in Blackpool

[copper fulcrum]

the hell?

[arctic grove]

Inappropriate

[pearl bobcat]

why did they redesign the characters?

[vocal tusk]

So the seagulls get more hotdogs than you?

[arctic grove]

What?

[fair coral]

Oh, I quite like these. I like that Mackay is holding the MCX Spear.

[tacit sphinx]

they didn’t?

[pearl bobcat]

they did

[tacit sphinx]

or not majorly

[pearl bobcat]

Falck was bald

[arctic grove]

There isn't a single good hotdog joint hete

[flat brook]

Y’all whose ready to develop their senses of pride and accomplishment playing this game?

[arctic grove]

Lol jk messing around

Here

[tacit sphinx]

falck has never been bald

[fair coral]

Casper looks so freaking cool.

[tacit sphinx]

i think those earlier images were kinda iffy renders, maybe not fully finalised models

[pearl bobcat]

well not bald

but like hair change

[mortal prism]

Do you have a screenshot/pic, I don't see the flag.

[foggy cedar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgScxQclNRI&ab_channel=TokyoJoe idk if this is allowed, but my high ass found this incredibly relaxing.

This guy built a model of the ripsaw tank

[tacit sphinx]

ikr, i think he’s holding a DSR-1 in his little walk-in clip in the video which is also very cool

[arctic grove]

Lmao

[pearl bobcat]

Dear Twitter artists

Please dont make questionable art out of Falck

[arctic grove]

Lol

[topaz hazel]

Falck isn’t even hot tho

[arctic grove]

Screenshot?

[fair coral]

Right?! I dig it. A lot. His concept is cool. While I am not sold on specialists in the BF world....they did a good job with them. I will admit that. Still, will need to play them to give my final opinion.

[topaz hazel]

She’s like 60

[arctic grove]

nah

[arctic grove]

Hey hope to be a mod 🙃

[arctic grove]

She's old enough to be your momma

[topaz hazel]

Huh

[foggy cedar]

I'll find a fuckin way, my dude.

[copper fulcrum]

When he's looking at the tornado, you can see it on the side of the helmet but just barely

[arctic grove]

She is probably in her early 50s or late 40s

War makes you look older

[arctic grove]

She is

[arctic grove]

U said this morning remember u want to be a mod

[pearl bobcat]

nah looks 50 to me

who is even fighting at 60

[arctic grove]

Many people

[topaz hazel]

I have 3 warnings lol

[arctic grove]

United States high ranks

[arctic grove]

Or maybe it was someone else

[vocal tusk]

Falck played by Katee Sackhoff please lol

[arctic grove]

General fight

[tacit sphinx]

(excuse the shitty quality, i grabbed it from the twitter video so. yeah)

[arctic grove]

Lol

[topaz hazel]

That’s like being a criminal and trying to be a prison guard

[pearl bobcat]

I thought Casper was like Swedish

but hes South African

[arctic grove]

No need to apologize thanks mate. Give me a sec while I stare at this for a minute

I love how he only says "Ready" Straightforward and simple

[arctic grove]

Ready for what to storm Omaha beach

[tacit sphinx]

from the name he was only ever going to be dutch or south african

[fair coral]

I like that he is South African.

[mortal prism]

Don't see any flag.

[arctic grove]

Ok what was the name of the first sniper from bf3?

[mortal prism]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fair coral]

I love their accents, so uh. Yee. I am on board.

[arctic grove]

It was semi automatic

[arctic grove]

Can 3 strikes clear up

[pearl bobcat]

the Afrikaans language sound like the Dutch's Special ed brother

[arctic grove]

Anyone remember? It was like a tactical rifle. Semi automatic looked a little like an ar.

[vocal tusk]

How funny would it be if hazard zone was 4 player coop, with the 4 soldiers being the guys from Battlefield Friends

[arctic grove]

Mortals are ready to storm Qatar

[topaz hazel]

I asked mod mail

[hardy kestrel]

Not very

[arctic grove]

Did they say yes no

[foggy cedar]

Bullshit, that'd be funny as fuck.

[topaz hazel]

They said they’ll look into it

[pearl bobcat]

Hazard zone sounds like zombies

[arctic grove]

Lol BFF guys retired lol

[arctic grove]

Oh

[tacit sphinx]

i like how they confirmed a co-op mode way back at reveal but it’s gone so under the radar because of everything else

[vocal tusk]

Lol yeah

[arctic grove]

Not really

[foggy cedar]

Wait, so how is Hazard zone supposed to work

Is it like the Dark zones from division?

[tacit sphinx]

we don’t know at the moment, just speculation

[hardy kestrel]

Also the fact they haven't promoted ANYTHING

[arctic grove]

Hazard zone could be co op

[foggy cedar]

What's current speculation?

[vocal tusk]

I'm expecting HZ to be 4 vs AI

[copper fulcrum]

One can only speculate

[tacit sphinx]

kinda tarkov/hunt showdown-esque gamemode

[hardy kestrel]

It's before future speculation and after previous speculation

[tacit sphinx]

get in, do something, get out alive

[vernal harness]

there will be a zone. and it might be hazardous.

[foggy cedar]

Clownpost.

[foggy cedar]

Actually funny lmao

[foggy cedar]

Thanks.

[arctic grove]

Oh well bedtime for me. Please whatever you do make sure you enjoy your evening or morning (which ever it is for you.) You're all appreciated.

[vocal tusk]

Maybe like 4 groups of 4 vs AI.

Exodus was basically a trailer for HZ after all

[tacit sphinx]

i think it will have certain BR elements (all v all, potentially looting from the map, etc) but overall not a typical BR mode since the end goal/win condition isn’t just be the last guy standing

[pearl bobcat]

what specs do i need for 2042

[tacit sphinx]

uh

[arctic grove]

Specs aren’t published rn

btw anyone got origin

got 0 frens on there

[tacit sphinx]

if you go to that link, there’s specs that were correct for the technical test which are not final but most likely a pretty good idea of the end product

[vocal tusk]

You know what I think was missed opportunity for BF. Did any of you play medal of honor War fighter and remember the bomb disarming animations? I really liked those. Added so much more risk to a disarm

[arctic grove]

I just said there’s no specs unconfirmed

Idk

[tacit sphinx]

yeah dw i was doing it for the information bit not the warning bit

[arctic grove]

Ohhh

Lol

[rain hatch]

hello mod

any news on beta date?

ye

[arctic grove]

Thanks bro 😎 I was super scared

[royal crag]

Beta not real

[rain hatch]

hello peter

[vocal tusk]

No news on a beta yet

[arctic grove]

No

[dire coral]

Nothing

[outer sequoia]

No

Next week

Maybe

[arctic grove]

Just soundtrack 😂

[rain hatch]

typical

[arctic grove]

They really trolling us

[vocal tusk]

In September. So maximum of 17 days till beta

[dire coral]

I listened to the soundtrack

[rain hatch]

whats the theme for 2042 like

[dire coral]

It was alright

The lady that made joker soundtrack made it too

Fun fact

[slim quiver]

I liked her Chernobyl soundtrack better

[rain hatch]

inch resting

[vital cloud]

Paid 2 dollars for a sound track thats free 😩

20*

[vocal tusk]

Theme is only OK for me. Its different, but I can see why lots dislike it

[dire coral]

I miss the big band tbh

Always so nice to hear a orchestra play make a bomb soundtrack

[next sierra]

Will bf 2042 have FSR

[vocal tusk]

It's a theme that defo takes into account the games theme and setting. Which is why I like it

It's an nvidia partner title, so unlikely

[mortal prism]

Cool

[next sierra]

F I wanted an fps boost on my 1060 6gb

[dire coral]

Yeah im not sad abt the soundtrack just miss the orchestra

[arctic grove]

Tbh people put music on mute in battlefield lol

[vocal tusk]

Not too many orchestras around in 2042s setting 😋

[arctic grove]

There dead

[sonic zinc]

For me the true 2042 legacy theme is at the end of exodus

[hardy kestrel]

The coffin guys should absolutely be specialists

[noble ruin]

In the OST some of the songs kinda have an eerie feeling if you get what I mean?

[dire coral]

Guilty but sometimes i like to listen to the soundtrack while playing other games lol

[arctic grove]

Yeah I'll waste my money to buy the ops

[arctic grove]

Lol

[dire coral]

Honestly the older soundtracks for sea of thieves xD

Just hits different

[hardy kestrel]

Really looking forward to in game advertisements.

[arctic grove]

I like bf3 ost especially endgame ost

When you about to win

[tacit sphinx]

idk if you mean actual product placement or like posters for worldbuilding/detail but honestly they are quite neat things to look at

the latter at least

[dire coral]

Def a slapper the whole bf1 soundtrack was def my favorite so far

That soundtrack goes with anything i swear

[arctic grove]

woah

[tacit sphinx]

weirdly there’s still some stuff talking about nothing being related or smth (i forget how the disclaimer is worded) but also they’re officially partnered with Polaris who (irl and in universe) make the quad bikes and i believe the ripsaw vehicles

[steel orchid]

They're

[arctic grove]

they should partner with sukhoi and lockheed martin for the jets

[tacit sphinx]

so idk if that’s just outdated stuff that they forgot to change or what

[dire coral]

Im curious to see the easter egg weapons

[hardy kestrel]

No I want full on engagement from. Irl advertisers. I want the entire match pausedmid game so we can all watch a taco bell commercial. I want to see vehicles covered head to toe in corporate logos. I want a bf4 style commander mode where I can strategically deploy billboards on the battlefield

[tacit sphinx]

[dire coral]

Throw in some elon musk atmosphere billboards

[brittle forge]

ProductPlacementfield

[tacit sphinx]

i did see a post saying that they’d eat their body weight in slim jims if there was some sort of partnership deal that was common in the 00’s and early 10’s lol

those were weird

[hardy kestrel]

Imagine being able to drop a weight watchers billboard right in front of a camper. Or maybe an advert for camping supplies.

[tacit sphinx]

tbf i think they’re still around? but more so for fifa and stuff

[tacit sphinx]

i did love the “why walk when you can fly” banner

[dire coral]

Honestly im a bit scared abt the metas though

Im hoping everything is semi balanced

[delicate hollow]

cmon its battlefield

thats like impossible

[dire coral]

I dont wanna see some cod warzone bs yk

[delicate hollow]

im sure we wont see that level of fucked balance

[dire coral]

Yeah because that was straight up ridiculous

I used to play warzone so much and all it was all just meta fighting

[delicate hollow]

i never really played warzone but i have heard the horror stories of the ffar

[tacit sphinx]

god yeah

[arctic grove]

So true. When I played, you needed max level MP5 and max level Grau or M4 just to be able to compete

[dire coral]

Man people don’t remember the shotty revolvers

[tacit sphinx]

yeah battlefield at least has that even with metas, you can still use other things and still do well because you’re not always engaged in a direct gunfight

having a meta in a BR is both more likely to happen and more likely to affect the game overall, especially when you have stuff that is straight up broken rather than “hey having a sniper and a closer range automatic weapon works pretty well in a BR”

[delicate hollow]

bf does have its meta ish guns

but its not so bad to where you cant use other guns

[tacit sphinx]

yeah

[delicate hollow]

and it is still preference based for the most part

[dire coral]

Thats why apex took over cause it never too one sided

But apex is a shit show of its own in some ways

[tacit sphinx]

that’s the important thing, there’s always going to be more popular weapons purely because people will gravitate to certain archetypes of weapon, just as long as those guns aren’t ridiculous and everything else works

[delicate hollow]

when everyone uses one gun it can seem like a meta

[dire coral]

Yes im excited to see what they do i just want a big arsenal of guns

[delicate hollow]

many gun is good

[dire coral]

Or mw type attachments

[gaunt plank]

M416 from BF4

Everyone uses it

[tacit sphinx]

cough bf3 m16a3

[dire coral]

Id think theyd add more in the battlepasses right?

[tacit sphinx]

how did they never think to nerf that one

[dire coral]

At least thats what id hope for

[tacit sphinx]

yep, more guns will come after launch as part of the free tier battle pass

[cold falcon]

I think they are announcing beta dates soon

[dire coral]

Thats what i like to hear

[tacit sphinx]

not to mention gadgets, vehicles and specialists

[dire coral]

Worth spending the $120 1000%

[gaunt plank]

Any news on if battle packs are coming back?

[dire coral]

At least for me

[swift apex]

Anyone think the 22nd betta is likely?

[dire coral]

Id like to see that

[tacit sphinx]

random reward mechanics are probably pretty unlikely to come back

i think in their shooter games at least EA probably wants to move away from those, last time they did them was swbf2 which was uhhhh. not great for them

[swift apex]

i do

when is it

[dire coral]

Yes we all do

[swift apex]

zzzz

[dire coral]

I think the more we ask the more theyll push it off xD

[gaunt plank]

Pre ordered and waiting eagerly

[swift apex]

yeah ive pre ordered

[dire coral]

Same

[swift apex]

im just so fkn keen honestly

[mortal prism]

Lol, not great at all.

[gaunt plank]

Jamming BF4 while I wait

[swift apex]

ive just been playing minecraft

bfv so laggy

[dire coral]

Tribes of midgard

[swift apex]

bf1/bf4 is all i play too

[dire coral]

Yeah whats with that?

[swift apex]

legit

[dire coral]

Its been unplayable recently

[swift apex]

i have 400 hours in BFV

it's so stuttery

i frame cap at 75fps

while i wait for my monitor to come

im on 75hz

bf1 vs bfv

[dire coral]

I enjoy that game a bunch but its actually horrible atm

[swift apex]

both fps capped, BF1 is like fkn butter

bfv is unplayable

[dire coral]

Its just been real laggy as of recently

[mortal prism]

BFV has lots of issues. I still get 230fps.

[swift apex]

i hope 2042 isnt like that haha

i get 170fps

ultra in bfv

1440p

but my monitor fked up 😠

[gaunt plank]

I can max BF4 on my 144hz

Doubt I'll get that with 2042

[mortal prism]

2042 "should" be much smoother

[dire coral]

Well yeah but im saying at least in my region its been really laggy the past weekish and i run ethernet

[swift apex]

oh man

i hope i can get 60 fps

[dire coral]

I havent had that problem before

[swift apex]

1440p in 2042

is it that demanding?

[tacit sphinx]

weird, could be ISP issues?

[mortal prism]

Its leggy everywhere.

[dire coral]

True

[gaunt plank]

1440p is the sweet spot for PC gaming

[dire coral]

Not for me at least

[dire coral]

What card do you have?

[swift apex]

2080 ti

[dire coral]

Oh youll be fine

[swift apex]

if i can maintain 60 fps 1440p maxxed out

id be happy

and at least 100fps with dlss

[dire coral]

I think anyone with at least a 20 series will be good

[mortal prism]

Make up your mind, lol

[dire coral]

??

Ok like im saying in the past not rn lol

I see what u mean

[mortal prism]

You said its really leggy. Then you said it isn't leggy.

[dire coral]

Like ive never had this bad of a connection problem before

[mortal prism]

Gotcha ;)

[swift apex]

i just wanna play 2042

omggg

[arctic grove]

I hope my 1660 Ti survives

[swift apex]

i hope its 22nd

[mortal prism]

Yes, as of late, it has been leggy

[arctic grove]

Leggy? Are they getting in legs at the gym?

[mortal prism]

Yes

🤣

[dire coral]

Honestly one of my favorite community discords

[mortal prism]

👍

[frigid belfry]

[swift apex]

the bfv graphics are beautiful

[dire coral]

When did yall start playing bf?

[swift apex]

i can only imagine 2042

2011

[dire coral]

I started in 2009 when my uncle showed me bad company

[swift apex]

[dire coral]

Snoopys flying ace

Do not ruin my good memories with the edgy humor 😂

[mortal prism]

But remember BF2 the most.

[gaunt plank]

Yeh BF2 for me

[dire coral]

I think i mightve played a bit of the old futuristic one

[mortal prism]

2142

I loved 2142

[dire coral]

Yeahhhh that was a trip

[gaunt plank]

Bad company were my favorites growing up but

[mortal prism]

BC were awesome

[dire coral]

The destruction and voice lines were amazing

[gaunt plank]

Blowing up every building with the noob tube 👌

[dire coral]

I like how half of this channel is people coming in just to ask about the beta

Like we’re a bunch of prophets that know already

[visual oasis]

I like the hitmarrkers you get when the building debris keeps on hitting the enemy

[dire coral]

When amazon was giving away bf3 it was so much fun to come back to

[mortal prism]

I don't remember that.

[lost snow]

is it 9-22 yet?

[mortal prism]

I still really enjoy BF4

[dire coral]

Bf4 is fun but i miss the weapon grind

[gaunt plank]

The Hardcore servers are on point lately

[dire coral]

After getting everything i felt so empty

Like what next

[mortal prism]

Yeah

[mortal prism]

Yup

[wraith spruce]

YO THEY RELEASED THE OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK FOR 2042

[gaunt plank]

Wonder if we'll get another Metro revamp

[copper fulcrum]

Make sure you check out #game-news for the latest in Battlefield 2042 news

[gaunt plank]

Love that map

[mortal prism]

I still love playing it though.

[mortal prism]

I sure would think so.

Its so popular

[gaunt plank]

It's just a kill fest

[dire coral]

Just not bf3 metro

The horrors of that map

https://tenor.com/view/flashback-seasamestreet-gif-10051490

[gaunt plank]

😆

[tacit acorn]

Hehe

[verbal bluff]

Guys, sometimes Steam bugs and changes the date of Bf2042. I saw Sept 22... so I think its confirmed that the Beta comes sept 22

[arctic grove]

It's not confirmed. It wouldn't show a beta date for the actual game.

Only for "Battlefield 2042: Beta" or someshit like that

i wonder how early pre-orders will be able to play

[arctic grove]

7 days for release. 2 days for beta.

bet devil emoji

Only for gold + ultimate edition though.

😈

just copped gold ea can have my stinking money this time

[verbal bluff]

But Steam takes the date of when its going to be ready to download... so its possible

[arctic grove]

also refund in the first 24 hours if i don't like it which is highely unlikely

[arctic grove]

But we won't be downloading the actual game... so it's not possible. If it's like every other bf title, a game titled "Battlefield 2042: Beta" will show up in our library.

And you can pre-load/download it there

Unless they are trying something different this year

[mortal prism]

This

[arctic grove]

if you buy it on steam you will still have to have ea desktop open right?

[arctic grove]

Yes

or origin

[light path]

Wheres the mother trucking beta at mother truckers

[arctic grove]

ok cause i was regretting getting it on ea for a second there

[delicate hollow]

you can find it in patience land

[light path]

Blocked

[delicate hollow]

good

[arctic grove]

he blocked you

[mortal prism]

You are good

[verbal bluff]

Maybe just a Launch option on Properties

[delicate hollow]

oh my god he actually blocked me

thats great

[worthy inlet]

[arctic grove]

Uhh what? They make you download a seperate ass game just to play the beta

[serene crown]

lets all block Dark Veri

[arctic grove]

Blocked

[delicate hollow]

this channel is wack

[arctic grove]

frfr

It's nice and calm at night time though

[serene crown]

[arctic grove]

Maybe or maybe not

[mortal prism]

Not likely

[arctic grove]

^

[delicate hollow]

[serene crown]

then all the kiddies can go back to wher ever they came from

[arctic grove]

i love kids

I feel it…

[arctic grove]

News tomorrow

[mortal prism]

Probably

[verbal bluff]

Go to steam. Right click on a game, properties. Sometimes they use the Launch Option thing and u set a specific code so u can download a special version. In this case can be the beta

[arctic grove]

That is a KHAKIS guarantee

[serene crown]

i thought you blocked me?

[arctic grove]

If there is no news you can hang me off a crane by my balls

[arctic grove]

Yea I blocked you

[mortal prism]

Not likely

[arctic grove]
