[dim blade]

i am in danger

I just bought a 357€ monitor, after 774€ GPU and 93€ PSU

[dreamy hare]

i dont see the danger 😛

[delicate hollow]

starvation

[dim blade]

the danger is my financial situation after shelling out so much money in so short itme

[tranquil turtle]

774 for a gpu is a bit pricey

[dim blade]

oh really?

i didnt know

thanks

bruh

[vocal mango]

just sell one of ur kidneys

[tranquil turtle]

Chip shortage is making everyone sell video cards at 200% MSRP

[delicate hollow]

bro its 400 here

[tranquil turtle]

Damn

[dim blade]

what is 400

[delicate hollow]

400%

[dim blade]

oooh

[tranquil turtle]

400 percent?

[vocal mango]

its normal price over here

[tranquil turtle]

I thought you meant $400

Beuh

[dim blade]

yeah same lmao

the thing is, the 774 is actually a sort of "good price" because of the shortage atm

[radiant echo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRqfFfuVuNE lol this trailer released 5 days earlier the release of the game so chill

[dim blade]

cause it's gonna get worse before it gets better

[radiant echo]

Omg I can't believe it's been 10 years for BF3

[tranquil turtle]

If it will get worse, I'll become a millionaire by selling my rx580

[upbeat hound]

How much do you want for it 🤓

[dim blade]

it will, trust me, i work in a computer store and i can access major distributors inventory documents

there will be even less gpus in the next shipment

[plain hare]

Stop I feel old at only 19

[shadow tangle]

hey im 27 soon yo aint old lol

[arctic grove]

If we get beta info tonight I'll eat an orange

[subtle iron]

is #game-news still going stong?

[delicate hollow]

make it a lemon

[subtle iron]

no an onion

[dim blade]

I was 13 when BF3 initally released

lmao

[arctic grove]

Orange and I'll brush my teeth beforehand

[split viper]

I remember my mom buying me Bad Company 2 at release, i was sooo stoked to play it. But our home pc couldn't handle it because it didn't have a videocard.

[delicate hollow]

ooh

good idea

[upbeat hound]

Please stop ✋

[arctic grove]

Wait does that even work for eating it

Change of plans

[dusky halo]

I’m placing bets on beta this weekend. For no reason just because

[radiant echo]

Me too lol

[arctic grove]

I'll brush my teeth and drink orange juice if we get beta info tonight

[radiant echo]

OG

boooof

[upbeat hound]

[arctic grove]

Yes

[upbeat hound]

You are lying

[arctic grove]

Why would i

[split viper]

I might do the same, need to get some orange juice then....

[formal verge]

Beta

Why the F aren’t they saying anything

[arctic grove]

Can't be that bad

[vocal mango]

ateB

[arctic grove]

I've done it before

[formal verge]

Im getting mad

[upbeat hound]

Why would they release the beta

[tame cobalt]

dice: problem?

[formal verge]

[arctic grove]

Dunno

[radiant echo]

Hype

[upbeat hound]

Hype train

[vocal mango]

lol just watched a shitty tiktok were the guy says a hacker found out they delayed the beta till later this month to make a new source code so hackers don't have hacks no more 🤡

[radiant echo]

We will be playing the game in the next 2 weeks and make our minds and alot of trailer are gonna be there

Just

Summon patience

[plain hare]

Just looked at the bf2042 reveal trailer chat replay and all I saw was "AMONG US"

Incredible

[shadow tangle]

peak of humanity

clearly

hahah

[radiant echo]

lol

[plain hare]

Intelligence has peaked

[random violet]

Guys when will we be able to download vanguard for beta?

[foggy cedar]

Looks at the server name.

I dunno, dawg.

[arctic grove]

LESS THAN A MONTH BOYS

[next onyx]

[vocal mango]

💀

[valid sundial]

nice

[shadow tangle]

MONTH TIMES BOIS

HYPU

[arctic grove]

So close yet so far

[radiant echo]

Lol where hype train

[subtle iron]

but the real question is when will we get beeta news

[radiant echo]

Gonna pre-order this weekend probably

[plain hare]

Can't wait to see if I can grapple choppers

[arctic grove]

Doubt it

[radiant echo]

yeah lol

[plain hare]

It'd be funny

[next onyx]

It would be nice to grapple onto vehicles

[radiant echo]

Let's break the game

[plain hare]

But unbalanced

[foggy cedar]

I don't see why we wouldn't be able to if it was within range

[radiant echo]

Classic wacky battlefield stuff

I love it

[vocal mango]

||Beta is delayd||

[plain hare]

Grapple on and toss c4 at it

[split parcel]

Imagine grappling to the helicopter blade and have it sling you across the map

[plain hare]

I won't believe it unless it's officially delayed

[radiant echo]

Too late we're 4 weeks away from the release

[plain hare]

That'd be amazing

[green oxide]

Beta….

[radiant echo]

I expect the game to be somewhat broken

BF classic thing

[split parcel]

Like how New World can't delay launch since they're 4 weeks away, right?

[plain hare]

I expect it to be very broken

[radiant echo]

I dunno seems different to me

[radiant echo]

yeah

Wack everywhere

[split parcel]

Just saying. 4 weeks from release doesn't mean launch is 100% certain considering that's what happened with New World.

[radiant echo]

The good thing they acknowledged the problems in the tech test in a blog

[plain hare]

I like playing games in broken states and seeing them evolve into something so

Right up my alley

[radiant echo]

But I saw a problem in the gameplay trailer and tech test

Netcode

Is wack

[split parcel]

I like playing games that work as intended.

[plain hare]

BF4 netcode problems at launch 💀

[radiant echo]

Doesn't feel smooth somehow

Hopefully it's already fixed

[radiant echo]

lol

BF4 with naval strike DLC launch was hilarious

[plain hare]

My favorite thing to do in BF4 was launch LAVs via water

It's just so stupid but funny

[radiant echo]

Lol

That's the thing I like about Battlefield before BF1

It was wack and sandbox

Hope 2042 is like that

[plain hare]

It's looking to be a very wacky sandbox

Especially due to portal

[radiant echo]

2 weeks ago a got jetski on the shanghai tower in BF4

[dusky halo]

Favorite part of the portal trailer ( not really 2042 I guess) was when they launched the jeep at the jet heli

[paper quarry]

because BF4 netcode has currently no issue

[radiant echo]

Ah yeah

[plain hare]

Never said that

[radiant echo]

Ah yeah for sure

[paper quarry]

related vid https://streamable.com/wf0u1n

[plain hare]

Fair and balanced gameplay

[radiant echo]

I mean it was 10 times worse at launch

[plain hare]

sarcasm aside at least it's not how it was at launch

[paper quarry]

i just hope little bird is as fun as it looks like tho

[radiant echo]

But it was being played more than BF5 that's for sure

[radiant echo]

It looked OP imo

[arctic grove]

what do you guys think about BF4 hitreg

[real canyon]

bad

[plain hare]

Bad

[radiant echo]

There was this guy whenever he spawns the little bird smashed him

[torpid shuttle]

Hitreg?

[radiant echo]

Leak tho

[split parcel]

I think it's fine in its current state.

[paper quarry]

could be counteracted with how countermeasures work

[arctic grove]

wrong, its dogshit

[radiant echo]

Not so bad

[paper quarry]

either way, passive and actives were op aswell lol

[radiant echo]

Yeah for sure

[real canyon]

a lot of "hitreg" issues are also caused by people not realizing guns have bad accuracy on full auto

[radiant echo]

Yeah just tap fire

[paper quarry]

you mean firing more than 2 bullets

[real canyon]

yes

[arctic grove]

yeah well tap firing in BF4 didnt do much

[radiant echo]

I understood the BF4 gunplay after 400 hours

[real canyon]

like counter strike

[radiant echo]

Just tapfire

100 % accuracy

With heavy barrel

[paper quarry]

understanding bf4 gameplay => playing M16A4

[plain hare]

I tried BF5 and found it to be incredibly boring. Mainly due to me lacking interest in WW2 shooters and armored vehicles being gross

[radiant echo]

yeah

[radiant echo]

Yeah for sure

[plain hare]

I was salty when 3 sticky bois wouldn't kill a tank ngl

[radiant echo]

I played BF5 for 100 hours

and BF4 for more than 1000

BF1 300

BF2 for eternity

[plain hare]

I haven't played BF in a couple years, gonna have to shake the rust off in 2042

[real canyon]

i wish i could play it on my pc

[radiant echo]

Yeah

[real canyon]

im probably gonna be really rusty on console

[paper quarry]

hopefully no jetram

[radiant echo]

Portal seems to be insane imo

[real canyon]

i dont even have a ps5 yet

[radiant echo]

Buy GPU

[real canyon]

gpu is the same price as a ps5

[modern flax]

I need to download more ram for 2042

[real canyon]

usually more

[modern flax]

[real canyon]

and i need more than that to run it

so no

[plain hare]

You may hate me, but when I started BF I was that guy who jet rammed

Pissed a lot of people off

[radiant echo]

Yeah right try to get ps5 then

[tame cobalt]

Peanut butter and honey

[split parcel]

Uhm, actually, there aren't any jets in Battlefield 1.

[radiant echo]

Visit www.ramdownlaoderlol.com

[plain hare]

I started in BF3 💀

[paper quarry]

i mean, you can really consider yourself good if you get jetram'd by people
trading a jet for an heli is such a losing trade kek

[radiant echo]

Hey how dare you

[real canyon]

first bf i played was 1942 but it was way after it came out

like 2013

[radiant echo]

Jetram is the best

[paper quarry]

yeah but it should always kill the jet pilot tho

[plain hare]

Oh I jet rammed other jets typically if I could

[split parcel]

I like doing it in Battlefield V for immersion.

[radiant echo]

Once I rammed an admin's attack heli and I got banned

[paper quarry]

you monster

[plain hare]

Lol

[arctic grove]

in the future i wanna see clips of people launching tanks into helicopters

[paper quarry]

yeah i need to go on shangai and place slams on top of a transport

[radiant echo]

yeah lol

[paper quarry]

and just ram that one 140 farmer

[radiant echo]

Boooooooooooooof

[modern flax]

This is the way to play bf properly

[plain hare]

I was bad and didn't know how to deal with jet players so I rammed them with jets

[radiant echo]

[odd fox]

uhhh servers down?

[radiant echo]

Guys I think we should make an event to farewell BF4

[paper quarry]

i mean, even if you kill them while respecting the rules they often just ban you

xd

[split parcel]

I can't access 2042 either. Think it's a scheduled maintenance.

[arctic grove]

i think thats intentional

i cant either

[modern flax]

When I see admin with 50 kill streak I'm usually just leaving the server

[arctic grove]

were still a month away from the release you know

[modern flax]

Playing with person like that is unfunny

[paper quarry]

dice LA camo helps alot with those ppl

[split parcel]

Not playtest tho

[paper quarry]

you sneak on a rooftop and smaw them

kek

[plain hare]

Loved sniping admins with the magnum out of helis in bf4

[arctic grove]

well i dont know anything about that

[plain hare]

Got banned so many times

[paper quarry]

it's kind of a dickmove that they put the 3x for bf3 vets only

[radiant echo]

Summon Badmins xD

[pulsar sorrel]

I start to wonder if theres even gonna be a beta...

[arctic grove]

im gonna replay half life 2 out of boredom

[odd fox]

beta is fake news

not real

[radiant echo]

Yeah just be patient mate

[odd fox]

have a early access bundle and not tell anyone the beta date

[foggy cedar]

Just play -other- games.

[brisk adder]

there is no beta, only gamma

[odd fox]

EA pro move

[pulsar sorrel]

Well i have been for a while, the game is only a month away...

[arctic grove]

hey, fun fact, i waited an entire fucking decade for a certain game to release, and its gonna come out 29th september this month

isnt that crazy

[tame cobalt]

Lunch

[split parcel]

That was a fun fact. Thanks for sharing.

[radiant echo]

We will see something next Friday imo

[brisk adder]

what are you guys having for lunch

I had a salami and cheese grilled sandwich

[scarlet cloak]

still waiting for Bayonetta 3 news

[arctic grove]

but then the fandom supporting the game was pillaged and raped to the ground by another one, and i lost all hope, so did everyone else
and there was decades down the drain.

[odd fox]

not a beta

[radiant echo]

Wait what game is that

[arctic grove]

and that was till very recent

[plain hare]

Baked cod with steak fries and a salad

[arctic grove]

madness project nexus 2

[odd fox]

When cod has a beta and it comes out in nov we know ea is down bad

[brisk adder]

ooh that sounds good mate

[obsidian zinc]

what's the news about 2042?

[split parcel]

#game-news

[upbeat hound]

Sounds delicious

[foggy cedar]

So what do I do after a server boost

[odd fox]

servers still down if i cant play the beta least let me play bf4 😦

[tame cobalt]

Who's hyped for 2 hours and 39 minutes from now when dice doesn't post any news

[paper quarry]

bragging rights

[arctic grove]

Survive

[pulsar sorrel]

And DICE said "were way ahead of scechule"...

[radiant echo]

Oh wow have fun with that

[plain hare]

I go over the top with lunch sometimes

[radiant echo]

me

[odd fox]

That was a lie lol

[plain hare]

Because I skip breakfast

[odd fox]

if the beta is in late sept and the game comes out in oct its prob not in good shape

[paper quarry]

it's probably to balance things out tho

[radiant echo]

Maybe the BETA is actually polished

[arctic grove]

@radiant echo 10 years spent well.

[split parcel]

Some of you really need to learn to write in complete sentences. I'm getting a headache trying to keep track of multiple conversations at once that are spread all over the place.

[odd fox]

the beta would only help them fix shit that needs fixing

[paper quarry]

also please no aek

[odd fox]

yes aek please

[paper quarry]

i hate seeing that weapon

[odd fox]

rus #1

[plain hare]

aek was stupid I agree

[paper quarry]

bf3 aek was fine iirc

bf4's one beams

[plain hare]

Bf4 aek 🤢

[odd fox]

bf4 aek go brrrrrr

its such a sexi looking gun to like pick a struggle

good ttk and looks good

[paper quarry]

A91 is sexy too

[obsidian zinc]

so rumours say the beta will be on the 22nd of September.

[paper quarry]

you can't change my mind

[odd fox]

i actually agree

[arctic grove]

The beta at this point will just give them balance information and tell them if anything major is broken that needs to be fixed before launch

[paper quarry]

ah yes

[paper quarry]

an average A-91 enjoyer

[odd fox]

ak47 wooden stock will always be the cleanest looking gun

[paper quarry]

[split parcel]

Open betas are typically to stress test server and such - not to test actual gameplay.

[plain hare]

I really hope the DM7 is good in BF2042

[green breach]

Favorite looking ak is goldeneye battery one

[plain hare]

I'm gonna main it

[odd fox]

beta or we riot!

[radiant echo]

Wow dude

[radiant echo]

They did that with the tech test

[split parcel]

How can they stress test something with a very limited amount of players?

[green breach]

Been almost 10 years since the last time we got a modern battlefield

[meager pumice]

Where condoms

[dreamy hare]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgCKb599eMQ

[paper quarry]

the beta is open to anyone tho

people who pre-ordered just gets a bit more time

[split parcel]

Battlefield Hardline released in 2015.

[green breach]

Oh right forgot that one

[split parcel]

Yes, but we're talking about the playtest that was in July

[meager pumice]

When was bf4 released

[plain hare]

Hardline was fun imo but not my favorite

[paper quarry]

oh the leaks

[split parcel]

2013

[vocal tusk]

Playtest was server/platform testing.

[green breach]

Then close to 10 years since the last modern military battlfield shooter

[vocal tusk]

8 = 10

[plain hare]

One thing that's gonna be interesting is ammo/medical requests since now any class can equip any non-specialist gadget

[green breach]

That's why I edited it

[arctic grove]

project nexus?

so hypedfor that

[split parcel]

How's that interesting? We know exactly how ammo and health supplies work (same as they always have)

[green breach]

Imagine they got rid of repair while in vehicle. And you had to pop out to repair.

[vocal tusk]

I wish they got rid of auto repair

[plain hare]

Well here's the thing, will ammo requests tell you if a player has an ammo box? Or will it not?

[torpid mauve]

Do you think you can carry more than 2 people in a tank in 2042?

[split parcel]

Ooh, you're right. That is interesting

[arctic grove]

Yes lol

[plain hare]

It'll be a tad annoying if it doesn't ngl

[split parcel]

I believe gameplay footage showed 4 seats in one of the tanks?

[green breach]

Get rid of it for tanks. But you can keep it air vehicles.

[wise zodiac]

Hello everyone

[torpid mauve]

Nice

[plain hare]

You are correct

[torpid mauve]

I would love to have a tank crew

[odd fox]

gimmie my bf4 servers backkk

[next onyx]

Yo xero!

[vocal tusk]

Half of the team play fun in BF3 was tanking up and repairing your tank from outside. Auto repair killed that part of the game

[wise zodiac]

In real life, a tank has a driver, loader, gunner, and tank commander

[paper quarry]

honestly would be pretty cool if 2042 had external seats for tanks

[green breach]

Ya get rid of it while on land vehicles. But can keep it for air vehicles.

[split parcel]

Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/fLktsZf.png

[wise zodiac]

So I mean, I'd hope there's 4 people in it

[paper quarry]

for transport that'd be nice

[wise zodiac]

How's it going good sir

[plain hare]

I mean I prefer the way BF3 did it, but repairing tanks with repair-tool will probably still be strong

If the driver co-operates

[torpid mauve]

It would be cool if you could sit in one seat and the tank would reload faster

[odd fox]

We will see dlc seats dw

[next onyx]

I'm good! Started playing some stardew valley today and it's been really good fun

How about your end?

[paper quarry]

https://images.theconversation.com/files/62658/original/ybg6hjzq-1414080951.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&q=45&auto=format&w=926&fit=clip

[green breach]

You need to team up. If you gonna do the old way of repairing tanks. New way you can tank it alone.

[paper quarry]

relevant

[vocal tusk]

It just made tanking way more casual, for no real reason apart from... Making it more casual

[next onyx]

How is adding more seats casual?

[green breach]

Don't get fme wrong I enjoyed it. But popping the heads off a tank repairmen felt so satisfying

[vocal tusk]

Adding auto repair discussion

[plain hare]

I think the idea was to help solos but idk

[green breach]

It did help solos.

A lot

[next onyx]

Auto repair as in tank regen?

[paper quarry]

be little bird
sneak onto clueless tank repair man
make fine blood red paste
leave

[vocal tusk]

So much that tank teams almost died

[plain hare]

Still gonna be a tank ripper for objective gameplay

[split parcel]

I hope there's a minigame for tank crew to manually load shells into the chamber inside the tanks

[wise zodiac]

Just got to work about 20 minutes ago. Not pulling a double today, so I get off in about 7 ½ hours.

[next onyx]

I don't mind auto regen, But i much preferred manual repair from bf1 and 5

Ahhhhh

Infact going back to 4, It's weird not manually repairing it from the inside

[wise zodiac]

More seats =/= more people in the tank that should have responsibilities inside that tank

[green breach]

Just not for air vehicles. They can get some sort of repair done in air. Can't really hop out of air vehicle and repair it can you?

[foggy cedar]

this.

[wise zodiac]

You can. When you land it.

[vocal tusk]

Not really talking about regen, more so the press button to restore 50% vehiclehealth

[plain hare]

Landing yeah

[wise zodiac]

I play this thing down to a science.

[next onyx]

That's still manual tank repair to a degree, And even so you can make it regen every minute or all

[green breach]

Gets a bit difficult. Perhaps fly back to base to repair? That would work too.

[plain hare]

I definitely am down to experiment with tank teams and seeing if they're gonna viable

[wise zodiac]

If a tank has 3 seats, the person who doesn't have control of the tank has jobs to do.

[green breach]

Yes repair work.

[arctic grove]

will we have ammo scarcity in 2042? like in BFV?

[next onyx]

Not sure

Ironically bf4 had more ammo scarcity cause you couldn't resupply

So easily

[wise zodiac]

No, you can touch down anywhere. You have to think, these maps are massive.

[green breach]

Ok dude hop out repair tank. I don't care there is 64 snipers aiming at you. Repair the tank.

[obsidian elbow]

repair seat in tank

[vocal tusk]

Pop tank smoke, repair

[next onyx]

I just hope they nerf repairing when under fire

[green breach]

Smart

[foggy cedar]

That's exactly what you do in BF1, I see no problem with this.

[plain hare]

I hope C5 destroys tanks in 3 charges

[next onyx]

Nothings more aggravating attacking a tank only for them to shrug off every thing you send at them

[wise zodiac]

Not just repair work for the 2 seats other than the driver.

If I have a PzIV? The top Gunner is my repair guy, with my fallback being the interior Gunner if he goes down.

Interior Gunner should be keeping infantry off of me.

[green breach]

No in bf1 people just move back behind a building and auto repair.

[next onyx]

Honestly front gunner can do just as well as a repper

[vocal tusk]

This

[green breach]

Auto repair essentially killed tank stealing

[next onyx]

Ehhhh, People still abandon their tanks when you burn their tank

[green breach]

Hardcore servers should remove auto repair

[arctic grove]

Now I'm only excited for far cry 5 and bf2042 this yr
Dying light 2 was delayed 😔

[torpid mauve]

Can you switch to vtol in the osprey?

[green breach]

Well I'm not stupid. I die with my tank.

[obsidian elbow]

that would be very epic

[plain hare]

Mad respect

Most tank players don't go down with it which bothers me

[torpid mauve]

A captain goes down with his ship

[safe gust]

When is the early acces Beta?

[green breach]

I came up with my name getting ran over in battlfield.

[next onyx]

Once had a guy steal my churchill when i was repairing it cause i thought i was in safety lol

next thing i did was blow them to shit in another one

[plain hare]

Especially as someone who repairs friendly vehicles constantly it's annoying when a teammate bails at like 20 health

[wise zodiac]

Sir/ma'am, I run a team that's heavily rooted in military command & control and structure.

We have each role mapped down - what these roles should do, how they should perform their assigned tasks, what their fallback should be, etc.

We've got contingencies

[next onyx]

Hey that reminds me, I had a guy a few months ago steal my churchill so i got into a bomber and destroyed it. afterwards they were bagging me cause yay?

[wise zodiac]

Smoke.

[foggy cedar]

That actually sounds fun.

[next onyx]

I hope vehicle repair stations never come back

[foggy cedar]

hold up is that real that sounds dope

[wise zodiac]

Nah, I like it.

[green breach]

Yes yes smoke is great. In older battlfields. In bf4 flirs up!

[wise zodiac]

Tanks shouldn't have unlimited ammo.

They should fire their combat load, return, rearm.

[next onyx]

Problem is that without them you can't repair or fend off anything at all, That and an asshole of a blueberry can destroy them

[green breach]

Lol fire combat load. I have a dirty mind.

[wise zodiac]

That's why playing with a team makes it better.

[next onyx]

They're good for spamming shells without a doubt, I just think without them you should be able to fully repair still and have 4 - 5 regenerating normal shells.

[paper quarry]

it's gonna show you who's the boss of this gym point

[green breach]

Or how about running an eod bot and chasing after friendly tank to repair.

[still vault]

or reload by taking a point = less camping )

[wise zodiac]

That's why tanks should be aggressive.

[green breach]

I also remember jeep stuff in bf1 before they patched it. No reason for it to be patched. It was fun.

[split parcel]

This would only encourage sniping from base

[wise zodiac]

Unless I've got a tank that's strictly a Howitzer, these guys should be pushing into an objective w/ infantry.

[arctic grove]

I like that tanks had unlimited ammo in BF4, I think it should come back, but ammo should take longer to reload.

[green breach]

Unlimited ammo is fine. Autorepair is a bit broken.

[paper quarry]

also, am i like, the only person that's using HE in bf4

[wise zodiac]

It only encourages it if you allow the mentality to grow.

[paper quarry]

those shells are actually amazing at sniping air vehicles

[split parcel]

The mentality is already there in current Battlefield games

[still vault]

tank main? 😄

[arctic grove]

man patch 1.31 fixes the roads

[wise zodiac]

I do not allow any of my team to sit by a supply station or in the main spawn with a tank shelling something.

They're pushing with infantry into an objective

[plain hare]

I have no problem with tank mains, except the ones that don't ptfo and the ones that bail out

[green breach]

I do flanking a lot. Sometimes I stay behind
And sure enough slenemy flanks to take base Im defending

[next onyx]

Problem is that you can't always support your teammates

[arctic grove]

I mean camping is the only viable way to use vehicles in V

[wise zodiac]

Wrong.

[next onyx]

When i'm in a panzer iv i'm always concerned about other tanks

[wise zodiac]

Do you have crew members and infantry support with your tank or is it just you?

[next onyx]

So on something like Aerodrome i won't push unless i know which tank operators are up and if they've been dealt with

[foggy cedar]

I ended up going back to bf1 because of all the camping in V

[next onyx]

Often its just me

[green breach]

Or how about teammates acting like I threw a grenade at them when it's an ammo crate or health crate. This is why I usually role with pouches instead. I can force the health and ammo at them

[gleaming citrus]

Opinions on hell tryhards? I’m seeing similar gameplay to battlefield 4 with choppers so they are definitely coming back

[split parcel]

How do you force someone to do what you want?

[wise zodiac]

That is the problem.

[next onyx]

In my defence, I can't rely on blueberries to harass other tanks

I'll take the flanks

[arctic grove]

yeah attrition and skill trees literally just encouraged camping

[next onyx]

And see if i can get the tanks to go away

[radiant echo]

Yeah auto repair is not cool

[modern flax]

Just jetram into them

[gleaming citrus]

I honestly think that choppers are fine because as long as you’re not in a map where they can hide behind a building like a betch, you can take a chopper out pretty easily with a stinger

[next onyx]

If they die then sure, Awesome. I'll go up close to the objective and do what i can

[wise zodiac]

Simple. I run a structured group that conforms to the rules I lay out. They either play, as a team, or they're gone.

[next onyx]

I often tank on Aerodrome

And i barely tank anyways

Well, Anymore.

[gleaming citrus]

Having friends that can help also helps

[green breach]

Of course flanking becomes impossible in metro. I try throwing smokes, use riots shieldz and use Dice La camo.

[next onyx]

That being said, I was in the sturmtiger a few days ago and that was genuine fun. It's the kind of tank that gives you the confidence to push.

[plain hare]

I don't like playing Battlefield solo because blue berries are usually vegetables

[modern flax]

How to get dice camo

[wise zodiac]

That's what your problem is, bud. You're playing by yourself and you're relying on people who you can't communicate with to support your tank.

[gleaming citrus]

Yes

[radiant echo]

Vehicles in BF1 and BF5 was meh compared to BF4

[arctic grove]

nobody ever plays as a team unless your in a clan or smth

[split parcel]

You mean you're playing with people you know?
That's not going to stop people from sitting in their main spawn with a tank

[green breach]

Doing a stupid Easter egg.

[modern flax]

Ok

[plain hare]

Trying to a repair a guys tank, he drives off instead and gets nae nae'd on by suicide jeep

[vocal tusk]

Personally, I also didnt like the removal of airfields

[green breach]

Did it twice. Once on PS4 and once on PC.

[plain hare]

Or gets his tank stolen

[next onyx]

I'm more of a silent intuition kind of person anyways

[wise zodiac]

And I have several 32 man rosters, so my point is that I have all of my tank operators pushing the objectives.

[next onyx]

I've had silent successful pushes in the past

[wise zodiac]

They don't sit back and farm kills.

[next onyx]

I was allowed to push because i knew where my team was and i could help with them with flares.

[green breach]

I usually use Dice La camo cause of people using flirs.

[arctic grove]

okay yeah the system in V might work good for clans, but in regular play the only viable way to use them is camping

[next onyx]

I pushed as well because i knew b was being contested

[wise zodiac]

And that's why playing with a team is better than playing with randoms.

I'd rather have the coordination and solid team work.

[next onyx]

Can't always play with people

That's what i learned very early on

*With people that you know

[arctic grove]

okay but not everyone cares about that, they just wanna play a casual game of BF

[foggy cedar]

Yeah, my team fell apart before BF2042 got announced. I'm likely playing by myself for a bit.

[next onyx]

my clan is coming back in 2042 as well

[wise zodiac]

If you weren't on the other side of the planet, I'd have you join us

[next onyx]

Hahaha yeah

[plain hare]

I'm gonna need to find new squadmates

[green breach]

Anyone brought the light tank into hallways of that one map in Bf1? I had fun doing that.

[plain hare]

My old ones all quit gaming entirely

[wise zodiac]

Even with BF4, the same concept applies.

[next onyx]

Does moving the 38t through a small corridor on aerodrome count, Dark?

[wise zodiac]

I did the same thing in 4. And I'll be doing the same thing in 2042.

[next onyx]

The side corridors

[robust pulsar]

any dates on beta yet?

[next onyx]

Nope

[robust pulsar]

was expecting one by now

[green breach]

If it's tank and counts as a hallway then yes it counts.

[robust pulsar]

beta this month right?

[arctic grove]

not really, because in 4 vehicles were still a lot more viable even if you were playing alone

[past shell]

cant wait to start up the beta. hop in a game and get my ass mowed by an apache camper who is 66-1

[next onyx]

Perfect, Dark.

[robust pulsar]

get a launcher noob

[past shell]

dead before i ads

[robust pulsar]

use a smaw not a slow lockon

[split parcel]

You're going to team up with 63 people for 2042?

[past shell]

ong full team

[green breach]

Everyone ran the heavy tank in bf1 but I ran the mark IV cause it was so iconic in ww1

[robust pulsar]

i never ran tanks in bf1 since they where always taken

[grim saddle]

and how many are in my store

[green breach]

And can't steal them due to autorepair.

[robust pulsar]

this logo just brought me pure nostalgia

[grim saddle]

Haha

[green breach]

You have to add in V logo

[plain hare]

Hope 5 ucavs vs 1 tank returns

[robust pulsar]

ucav :0

fun times

suav killing sniper campers was fun in 4

[arctic grove]

[wise zodiac]

Yeah. My overall team roster right now is sitting at about 80 active people. I have 3 32 man templates. Not all of us have a next gen console, so I've got about half the team moving to 2042 with a 64 man template.

[green breach]

I missed that limited game mode in bf1 that gave out more tanks.

[robust pulsar]

well next gen is crossplay with pc xero

[green breach]

Dammit it's current gen

[split parcel]

Dang. Can't imagine the voice chat for those games.

[radiant echo]

main menu music in the head

[wise zodiac]

Yes, and not all of us have PCs able to run it.

[robust pulsar]

@radiant echo which one

[green breach]

Been almost a year and people still calling it next gen.

[robust pulsar]

i still got the chinese maps loading themses in my head

[wise zodiac]

We break it down via party chat & discord for platoon/squad leadership

[next onyx]

I'm looking forward to the jets to use

[robust pulsar]

@green breach ive never seen a ps5. its next gen to me KEKW

[next onyx]

Cause i'd love to farm

[arctic grove]

It's not current gen until the majority can buy it

[green breach]

Fair enough

[plain hare]

CN not returning in 2042

[wise zodiac]

That

[robust pulsar]

majority is on 4 still

[green breach]

Guess my 3080 rtx is next gen also.

[arctic grove]

well it was the same with Xbox 360 to xbone and vice versa

took like 2 years

[split parcel]

Anyway, playing with 63 people to avoid tanks sitting in spawn seems a little extreme. The mentality will be there if it's encouraged; i.e. if ammo is limited and you resupply in base.

[fair coral]

Current gen, considering how cheap the Xbox is and it is readily available. Unlike the PS5.

[radiant echo]

BF2 one when you start the game

[vocal tusk]

More people want new consoles though, due to awesome back compat upgrades to many games

[green breach]

Sometimes I feel it's a mandara effect and my 3080 rtx doesn't actually exist and it's all in my head.

[robust pulsar]

the intro scenemtic @radiant echo

remember it? the one where a man slaps a fly

[wise zodiac]

With how big the maps are, sitting in your base will have you far removed from the front.

[plain hare]

Loved dropping bombs on camping tanks in bf4

[past shell]

so who tryna make a 64 man squad

[plain hare]

With the attack jet

[radiant echo]

ah yeah for sure

[robust pulsar]

battlefield 20 fps

cant wait for massive maps

[green breach]

Who here is hoping they add the zip 22 as a joke weapon for 2042?

[split parcel]

Ammo's unlimited based on what we've seen so far, so there won't be any incentive to sit in spawn anyway

[upper mason]

What do u think you'll need to run BF2042 at 120 FPS?

[slim quiver]

From a consumer standpoint maybe

[split parcel]

Which was the point I was trying to make from the beginning

[robust pulsar]

unlimited sniper ammo....

[slim quiver]

If it wasn’t current gen, then an exclusive wouldn’t be allowed

[arctic grove]

ps5 ™️ experience

[robust pulsar]

i just want normal healing not like bf v

[green breach]

Gonna get gold camo for the zip 22. To show off

[slim quiver]

You cant call it future gen, otherwise I can’t play the game

[robust pulsar]

bf 4 was a mess. specially on ps3.

i expect the same for 2042 ngl

[green breach]

I bought a PS4 for bf4

[slim quiver]

RIP

[wise zodiac]

I haven't really seen much gameplay. I expect when the beta comes out, there will be significant changes.

[green breach]

When is the beta? Gets shot for asking that question for the millionth time

[split parcel]

I don't. It's too far into development for any major changes.

[wise zodiac]

I mean compared to V.

[stone igloo]

Okay okay okay

What about: Battlefield 2042 on da PS3?

[green breach]

Lol

[robust pulsar]

-5 fps

[torpid mauve]

They should of showed xbox series x/s and ps5 gameplay instead of pc

[plain hare]

"wHeN's bEtA" "bEtA dElAyEd"

So annoying

[vocal tusk]

BF4 was made by Dice stockholm alone. 2042 is made by DICE stockholm, DICE LA (Ripple effect) and Criterion. So I expect it to be a better launch than BF4

[robust pulsar]

nah but for real. youd be suprised how much they can change in a month before launch

[green breach]

They always do PC. Runs the best and looks the best

[gleaming citrus]

I doubt it, at this point the game is being fine tuned and getting bugs fixed

2 months out

[robust pulsar]

i doubt ps4 2042 will be that great compared to ps5/pc

[split parcel]

Isn't Battlefield 2042 made by DICE Stockholm, and Battlefield Portal by DICE LA?

[trail adder]

yes

[plain hare]

Hopefully BF2042 is decently optimized

[wise zodiac]

Again, I'm comparing the difference between V and 2042.

[green breach]

I know dice la was supposed to move on. But ea mist have told them nope work on 2042 we need to make the game good.

[vocal tusk]

Its different modes to the same game

[robust pulsar]

if it runs on ps4 it runs on most decent pcs

[gleaming citrus]

Obviously, PS4 probably doesn’t even meet the minimum requirements lol

[torpid mauve]

Exactly, I feel like they should show more console because thats what a good amount of people are playing on

[trail adder]

I mean massive optimisation would exist for ps4 as well as lower plyer count

[plain hare]

It's gonna be a watered down version though

[robust pulsar]

well maps/playercap will be downsized for last gen. so will graphics

[green breach]

Only time that happens when it's exclusive to consoles. Otherwise give me the PC version dammit

[plain hare]

So no 128 players for ps4

[green breach]

Nope

[robust pulsar]

i heard 64 and maps are smaller

[wise zodiac]

Current gen is relegated to 32v32.

[torpid mauve]

I'm guessing that it'll be kinda like bo3 on the ps3

[gleaming citrus]

It’s already confirmed to have smaller maps and 64 player only on last gen consoles

[green breach]

You said last gen. It's glorious seeing tjat

[plain hare]

Kind of

[fierce sail]

I was just able to get my grubby fucking hands on an Xbox series x

[robust pulsar]

also no crossplay between last gen and pc/next

[torpid mauve]

Did anybody even play bo3 on the ps3

I feel like it's basically foreign

[plain hare]

Didn't buy BO3

[green breach]

Ya cross gen with last gen won't happen. Unless they did 64 player modes.

[trail adder]

yes, i said that

[wise zodiac]

They won't.

[trail adder]

only clean hands

[next onyx]

And even so the difference would be massive

[fierce sail]

I washed em

Now

[trail adder]

only grubby hands

[torpid mauve]

I thought the only mode for 128 players was all out warfare

[gleaming citrus]

I was so close to a PS5 and got a 1 min que and it hit OOS

[robust pulsar]

id just go pc man.

[trail adder]

and portal too i assume

[green breach]

Is 128 players gonna be cross gen with PC and both current gen consoles though?

[wise zodiac]

I think I'm just gonna buy a series S for now, then upgrade to an X when they're more available

[torpid mauve]

Yes

[vocal tusk]

I always preferred 48 player games myself 😄

[plain hare]

128 players EOD bots only

[gleaming citrus]

XSX/PS5/PC are crossplay

[wise zodiac]

Current gen cannot play with PC.

[fierce sail]

Where you at in the world?

[green breach]

48 players for metro for sure.

[vocal tusk]

Maybe with the bigger maps, 128 wont be as much of a clusterfuck

[wise zodiac]

Tejas.

[gleaming citrus]

X1 and PS4 are crossplay together

[robust pulsar]

so they said remastering other maps wasnt out of the question. the listed locker.... 128 player metro/locker no rules when

[green breach]

64 players becomes a clusterfuck

[robust pulsar]

64 players my jam

[torpid mauve]

I have the series s, I had the one x previously and I still saw a big improvement. I would definitely recommend

[fierce sail]

Oh was about to say if ur in the Ik

[still vault]

Daily penguin post!

[fierce sail]

*uk

[plain hare]

128 player is gonna be chaotic but I'm excited for it

[gleaming citrus]

America has them in stock everywhere, rip bro

[next onyx]

I want Alborz mountains

[fierce sail]

There are quite a few

[arctic grove]

[fierce sail]

England has some

[green breach]

Oh god no I refuse to play 128 player metro. Unless they combine two maps.

[wise zodiac]

I have a One X, the BFV Rush edition.

[fierce sail]

Mmmmmm yes

Do it

[knotty fable]

Sus https://twitter.com/User_IDavee/status/1437760327668617217?s=20

[fierce sail]

Smaller maps with 128

mmmmmmmmm

[torpid mauve]

THATS THE ONE I HAD!!!

[fierce sail]

chaos

[gleaming citrus]

Portal

[vocal tusk]

128 metro wouldnt work. It barely worked with 64.

[plain hare]

Sounds fun

[wise zodiac]

I need to get a Series S tho.

[robust pulsar]

id do 128 player metro no rules/24/7

[next onyx]

Dude the storage drives for the xbox one and ps4 were genuine dogshit.

[fierce sail]

Bfv tdm maps with 128

[green breach]

Like that other Paris map in bf3 could be combined with metro for 128 player servers.

[next onyx]

The instant you get something better holy hell just VWOOP

[wise zodiac]

How big of an improvement are we talking? How's the load time?

[vocal tusk]

12 v 12 or 24 v 24 metro is awesome though

[plain hare]

Locker or Metro 128 players

[slim quiver]

The séries S apparently is getting an upgrade version next year

[elfin void]

Neither

[green breach]

I still get nightmares of eod bots in metro. Damn little terminators.

[past pewter]

When beta dropping

[plain hare]

Both*

[elfin void]

No

Both are shit

[fierce sail]

The Series Ser

[wise zodiac]

Must be a stress free life. 🤣

[tribal zenith]

nobody knows that

[next onyx]

An upgraded series s what

[plain hare]

I agree, still fun imo tho

[slim quiver]

Yeah apparently

[past pewter]

Ha I see

[visual kite]

#game-news when

[gleaming citrus]

Soon ™️

[torpid mauve]

Load times are pretty good, when I had the one x I was into sea of theives but the load times took as long as gta online. But after I got the series s the load time were like 25 seconds compared to 3 mins

[slim quiver]

Getting a new CPU to make it 50% faster

[next onyx]

Maybe the same reign as the ps5 digital where it only differs in disc drive in comparison to the X?

Oh

[vocal tusk]

Series s with a disc drive when?

[slim quiver]

Though in all honesty I think the séries S is pretty underpowered

[fierce sail]

When the beta drops

[green breach]

Oh for sure I'm installing 2042 on SSD.

[torpid mauve]

Also quick resume

[wise zodiac]

How's the BFV load times?

[fierce sail]

Obviously the beta drops when the beta drops

[next onyx]

Last i heard it wasn't that much better than the one x

In terms of power

[slim quiver]

The series X is a powerhouse and the series S is like a gamepass machine

[fierce sail]

Fucking rapid

on s

apparently

[robust pulsar]

hdd users

[fierce sail]

According to a sketchy German

[next onyx]

Dude on the series s and x bf5 just loads within 20 seconds

Its so fast

[slim quiver]

Correct it isn’t

[torpid mauve]

From what I remember a while back, they were pretty good(cant remember much tho)

[fierce sail]

Less

[gleaming citrus]

Just upgraded from a rx 570 to a 2070 for bf 2042, I’m ready

[fierce sail]

My mates and I load in about 10

[green breach]

I blame HDD for cyberpunk load assets issue.

[next onyx]

well, Within the 20 second mark

[vocal tusk]

Series S is an amazing back compat machine also...It just needs a disc drive

[green breach]

That game was designed for SSD

[slim quiver]

Ooooh that’s always nice

[wise zodiac]

It takes like 2 minutes for me to load into a game with my One X. 🤣

[next onyx]

I'm on the lookout for that special series x hard drive

DUDE

[robust pulsar]

id always recommend a pc over any console tbf

[gleaming citrus]

I’ve also got a 240gb ssd I’m waiting to use

[next onyx]

I'm so used to mentally blanking out during the laod time

[fierce sail]

Funny

[arctic grove]

Dying light 2 has been delayed

[next onyx]

So i would eat, Or ponder about life or some shit like that

[fierce sail]

There is shitloads of em here

[fierce sail]

Wrong channel

[next onyx]

I should check in with EB Games then

[arctic grove]

Shame

[next onyx]

They're for 300 dollars too which isn't too much if you think of it

[green breach]

That's fine I got 2042 to keep me busy

[gleaming citrus]

only if you’re gonna spend 800$+ and have a decent idea of how to use a computer and do general maintenance such as driver downloads and not downloading bloat ware

[torpid mauve]

Youtube says that you won't notice that big of a difference but I disagree

[vocal tusk]

300 for a 1tb drive?

[arctic grove]

Inb4 2042 delayed

[vocal tusk]

Is this AUS $

[fierce sail]

Shitterfield 2042: the microtransaction satisfaction

[next onyx]

Yeah AUD

[gleaming citrus]

PCIE 4.0?

[vocal tusk]

Ah, ok then

[torpid mauve]

But there's one major thing with the xbox...

[next onyx]

The damn series X was 750 AUD

[gleaming citrus]

I’m waiting for that announcement

[next onyx]

Fucking punch in the gut when i got it

[devout quartz]

as a ps5 player i'm just looking forward to being able to disable cross-play once cheaters start running rampant

[green breach]

Depends on how they do the mtx. Free battlepass should include the specialists and some XP boosts. Paid one will have all the cosmetic goodies.

[fierce sail]

as a ps5 player you are not entitled to your own opinion

[torpid mauve]

YOU ONLY GET 300 GIGS OF STORAGE

[wise zodiac]

And now, you do what?

[next onyx]

What is the special hard drive for the series x called?

[paper quarry]

as a pc player, i look forward to disabling crossplay

[arctic grove]

I kinda want it to be delayed just to watch all the leakers cry lmao

[vocal tusk]

Can you upgrade standard to Gold on steam?

[fierce sail]

You get 1tb

[wise zodiac]

It's probably an SSD.

[limber garden]

8 days until fake beta date

[torpid mauve]

On the series s

[tame cobalt]

As a ps5 player you are unfathomably based

[next onyx]

I still mentally blank out and before i know it the map has loaded already

[fierce sail]

Fucking robbery

[green breach]

Ya just cancel get refund and reorder gold.

Steam would be cool with it

[torpid mauve]

Yea, apparently the os is 200gigs

[next onyx]

SSD - HD either way

[wise zodiac]

Oh no.

[arctic grove]

I've actually read the series s isn't half bad

[wise zodiac]

The hard-drive on the S is only 300g?

[torpid mauve]

But they also reduced alot of the games storage costs

[gleaming citrus]

Expensive ass fast SSD ™️

[wise zodiac]

So I'd have to buy an external 2TB SSD?

[limber garden]

Totally different.

[arctic grove]

Yes

[torpid mauve]

But that didn't really balance anything out

[wise zodiac]

Shiiiiiiit

[fierce sail]

No if you hate yourself

[wise zodiac]

That'll be expensive

[fierce sail]

[next onyx]

The Seagate SSD

[arctic grove]

Do a go fund me

[next onyx]

or

ESC

What ever the classification idc

[torpid mauve]

Make sure its an ssd, they run fast as all hell

[fierce sail]

Nah just download more storage

[tame cobalt]

I'm not sure how it works on xbox but on ps it will load even faster if it's a native next gen game (not running in back-compat)... We talkin like 5 secs max

[torpid mauve]

Download more ram and a better cpu

[radiant echo]

Beta is cancelled https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gae4FcLCIJY

[limber garden]

Even better i suggest an nvme faster and more reliable

[fierce sail]

I’m going to download a new case

[radiant echo]

[next onyx]

Oh.... there's no stock for the seagate drive where i live

[green breach]

I downloaded a 3080 rtx. And it worked!

[next onyx]

Oh wow

bad timing

[torpid mauve]

I'm downloading a new fan rn

[fierce sail]

what will ea do to make a microtransaction store

[arctic grove]

Series X on cod blops 3 actually gives you an advantage over Xbox one players since you load into the map before everyone else

[fierce sail]

same with butterfield 5

[radiant echo]

skins and animations and player card

[green breach]

This is why I always have my battlfield games on the SSD.

[torpid mauve]

The series s is also super hot around the fan area

[limber garden]

Seagate sucks anyway

[arctic grove]

Is the series s noisy?

[fierce sail]

mmmm fry bacon while loading

[limber garden]

Try western digital black series

[torpid mauve]

Not at all

[arctic grove]

Unlike ps5 lmao

[torpid mauve]

The fan just gets real hot

[green breach]

Anyone seen that PC with almost no fans? Only fan was for the gpu

[torpid mauve]

No noise, not much at least

[wise zodiac]

A 2TB SSD is around $250USD

[vocal tusk]

I appreciate the grind from Westie, its hard work doing YT. But I really dont like his style.

[gleaming citrus]

Since when did Rick astley start leaking information?

[arctic grove]

The series X is silent

[wise zodiac]

So that, plus the series S

Uuuugh

[fierce sail]

ah yes the PS4, for those who enjoy a jumbo jet taking off in their house

[wise zodiac]

Might as well just buy the damn series X

[next onyx]

Oh wait

[torpid mauve]

I think there's other ones you can get

[arctic grove]

I would agree on that. It's a nice console anyways

[fierce sail]

Home delivery?

[next onyx]

Maybe???

[torpid mauve]

I also got the series s because its the only one I could find

[gleaming citrus]

PS4 ain’t even loud mfs just don’t clean it and let it become a dusty husk

[next onyx]

I guess the instant they get stock they can send it over to me

[wise zodiac]

Can't find the X though

[green breach]

Gotta do what you gotta do.

[fierce sail]

I found the series x in 2 days

[next onyx]

I only got lucky with getting my series x

[torpid mauve]

Lucky ass

[fierce sail]

They all restock like 10am

[arctic grove]

You'll probably have to keep up to date on restocks xero

[fierce sail]

Gotta learn the restocking times

[solid mauve]

xbox series will be available on amazon.de at 7pm.

[arctic grove]

Or just buy a scalped series x

[dim blade]

dont buy scalped

[tame cobalt]

Imma solder pcb's for my job the next few days

[dim blade]

you are just making the situation worse

[fierce sail]

For 1K? Fuuuuck that

[wise zodiac]

I have an app that tracks the restocks

[arctic grove]

I didn't pay 1k for mine

[green breach]

Took two months but I got lucky with 3080 rtx. Just managed to upgrade rig before cyberpunk dropped. Then the game turned out to be crap. Welp use it for other games then.

[wise zodiac]

And no, I'm not spending 1k+ on a 499 console.

[arctic grove]

I paid 6 Hundy for mine

[fierce sail]

Overpriced

I got retail

[arctic grove]

I don't care.

Didn't have to wait

[fierce sail]

Patience

[torpid mauve]

Its just investment

[fierce sail]

is

[green breach]

Well due to chip shortages 200 over retail isn't the worst thing I seen

[wise zodiac]

Hahah that's a big joke

[arctic grove]

I don't care about 200 quid lmao

[radiant echo]

Nah that's facts cuz we're getting some of those when pre-order

[tame cobalt]

I paid third world retail price for my ps5

[fierce sail]

I was gonna do what you did

[arctic grove]

Got my console either way I'm happy

[torpid mauve]

Later on you get a free 300 dollars in 10 year

[fierce sail]

And then saw smith toys had about 10 in stock lying there @arctic grove

so

fun

[slim quiver]

If you can’t get a console or GPU for MSRP, don’t buy it

[arctic grove]

Funnily enough Kyne, my dad had the same success story with ps5

[torpid mauve]

He got a Praystation

[next onyx]

Ironically in the saying of that, If you can get somethign that is very close to the price then yeah

[arctic grove]

I live not even 2 minutes from a Smyth's

[wise zodiac]

I want to be rich enough to where I can AFFORD to pay for a scalped console and not care 😂 😂 😂

[green breach]

Ya well by the time you get the 3000 series 4000 series be out. Just have to hope you don't have to pay too much over retail.

[fierce sail]

What smiths rummages around, finds some and smacks them on their website?

[arctic grove]

My dad was gonna get scalped he went there, they had like 5 ps5s left

[fierce sail]

yeah

thats smiths

[tame cobalt]

Ps5 msrp is $850 USD in my country

[next onyx]

pfft i'm honestly wondering about going for the 3080ti

[green breach]

Sold out.

[arctic grove]

Your fault for being born in the US then

[next onyx]

so i don't have to upgrade my computer till the 50 series

[vocal tusk]

dont bother, get a cheaper 3080

[limber garden]

Is EA stuck on bf mobile or something

[green breach]

Sold out

[tame cobalt]

I wasn't

[fierce sail]

So instead of getting a hard to find console, you gonna do it with a GPU?

[next onyx]

Maybe

[green breach]

Which are even harder to find and scalped way worse

[gleaming citrus]

Just curious, what hardware are you running now?

[fierce sail]

Hmm yes, money saving

[arctic grove]

I'm joking man

[fierce sail]

@arctic grove can’t lie you should have waited to get ur Xbox at smiths

They have like one there

[next onyx]

This right now. I'm looking at buying a computer, Just something that can last me for a very, very long time.

[green breach]

For $999

[arctic grove]

Like I said I don't care lol

[fierce sail]

That they can’t be bothered to do shit with

[green breach]

Ya dude you are better off with a x series.

[next onyx]

Just want a computer so i can play the other stuff i want to try out

[arctic grove]

My Smyth's seems to struggle with stocking series X. Either way, I saw one for 6 Hundy said oh well it's only like 2 days wage and grabbed it

[fierce sail]

Fair

If your smiths is shit

I can understand

[next onyx]

You OCE, Apl?

[green breach]

Gotta do what you gotta do.

[chrome current]

Beta date known yet?

[fierce sail]

I live nowhere near a smiths

[wise zodiac]

The hell do you do for work? Lmao

[fierce sail]

I’m driving up to Gateshead for a series x

[arctic grove]

I worked at NS&I

[next onyx]

Wait no nvm don't answer i got my thing messed up

No known beta date

[gleaming citrus]

Nah bruh get a pc with a 3080 and you’re solid, you have a 1440p 165hz monitor connected to a watermelon rn

[next onyx]

Hahahaha

[green breach]

Try finding a 3080.

[vocal tusk]

lol

[next onyx]

Yeah i'll certainly have a look at it all

[vocal tusk]

I picked up a Gigabyte OC 3080 2 weeks ago. Swapped to it from a 3070 and even that was a big upgrade (For me)

[green breach]

Hell 3080s aren't sold anymore for 700. They are sold at 1050 and up now

[gleaming citrus]

Only reason I didn’t recommend the XSX is because I doubt that monitor supports HDMI 2.0

[next onyx]

Saw a 3070ti for 1200 which to be honest was way cheaper than the 1600 mark

[gleaming citrus]

Which means 1080p 120hz which is a waste on a monitor like that

[arctic grove]

Way are you doing a custom build?

[gleaming citrus]

That’s pretty overpriced, tbh

[arctic grove]

i am

[next onyx]

Yeah, APl.

[green breach]

It's way overpriced. When Nvidia launched their 3080 ti it was at 1200

[arctic grove]

Would pre built not be easier?

[vocal tusk]

My current PC = 5800x - 32gb RAM - 3080

[next onyx]

Note drippy the MSRP for the 3070ti is 959 AUD

[fierce sail]

Ain’t the series x on par with the 2080ti?

[next onyx]

Sortish? I mean. I'm looking at a site that can assemble what i want together

[fierce sail]

Or just below?

[gleaming citrus]

Oh you’re talking AUD, my fault

[next onyx]

Yeahhhh

[topaz hazel]

Imagine having a gpu

[tranquil jackal]

5900x 64gb 3080ti

[vocal tusk]

Series X is slower than a 2070

[green breach]

3070 ti is similar to a 3080 a little bit weaker. And I got my 3080 for 700

[fierce sail]

Nah I call bs

[dim blade]

fking hell you guys

i5-10600, RTX 3070, 16GB ram

[arctic grove]

But you could probably find a good collection of parts in a pre build for far less money

[vocal tusk]

It is slightly faster in some games due to MS API

[dim blade]

not everyone is super rich ok?
