battlefield-2042

[tribal wyvern]

it seems that we were indeed meant to get said more communication

i'm getting the article hold on

[remote kiln]

the issue was the initial trailer had stuff that wasnt achievable

[tame cobalt]

I wonder if we'll ever know what changed so drastically...

[remote kiln]

there was no issue with a campaign, cause one didnt exist

[tribal wyvern]

i'm not sure

https://web.archive.org/web/20210816193018/https://checkyourdms.substack.com/p/teasing-battlefield-2042-or-how-i here it is

[arctic grove]

Cheers

[meager pier]

did someone lose 600 dollars today?

[tame cobalt]

Maybe a scrapped campaign? 👀 Idk could be anything

[tribal wyvern]

May 28: I opened my emails to the news that a critical function of the campaign was no longer feasible, jeopardizing the entire teaser campaign. I had to make the call that the investment and current ROI was unacceptable, and we needed to pivot.

btw by campaign he means the marketing campaign

not an actual campaign mode in the game

[tame cobalt]

ik, and by campaign i meant story campaign

[tribal wyvern]

ye

[radiant echo]

[tribal wyvern]

but yeah it really does seem that the marketing team is a mess because they're left having to improvise and are being super cautious about the shit they put out

the reason why marketing is so shit is probably cuz they don't have a concrete plan in palce

that's why shit keeps changing

[tame cobalt]

[arctic grove]

Hmm could it be that Hazard Zone had a error? I mean it could explain the delay abit..

[tribal wyvern]

not so sure

but the error is in the teaser campaign, liek the marketing campaign

what said error is they did not say

[remote kiln]

chat talking about how one of the best ever made trailers in the entire game series, is infact, bad

[tame cobalt]

Hopefully they can tell us what it was after launch

[tribal wyvern]

We had already committed our assigned reveal budget to the earlier plans, so money was very tight.

[proud scarab]

lol

[tribal wyvern]

they're also tight on money too????

damn they fr got fucked

[tribal wyvern]

it isn't bad

[vocal tusk]

I have been saying this for weeks...

[bright void]

EA tight on money?

thats new

[tribal wyvern]

for something that had to have been improvised last second it's amazing

[tribal wyvern]

they spent half a billion dollars on marketing

[arctic grove]

Yeah but maybe something happend in the developing and the mode was not ready for the marketing campaign?

[tribal wyvern]

689 million i think

[bright void]

lmfao whatt

[vernal harness]

they just spent the money poorly

[arctic grove]

Maybe they can't afford enough servers for that 128?

[bright void]

they got scammed

[tribal wyvern]

so that single issue that completely fucked the initial campaign?

that is 689 million down the drain

so they fr very very fucked marketing wise

[tame cobalt]

nah

[vernal harness]

theres a lot more to EA than just bf, not 700 million

[arctic grove]

Typical EA

[tribal wyvern]

yeah but i mean let's not act like half a billion isn't a lot of money

even for EA

[vernal harness]

but probably a good % of that went down the tubes if that blog isnt lying

[arctic grove]

Most off EA comes from FIFA I guess

[tame cobalt]

bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

[tribal wyvern]

it's very unfortunate

[arctic grove]

And Madden

[tribal wyvern]

that whatever caused that issue is the reason the community is worried/pissed right now, tensions are high and shit keeps changing

[arctic grove]

Yeah probably

[tribal wyvern]

i bet the game is doing great and we would've seen it doing great if it weren't for that issue

it's also prob why we're getting gameplay from pre-june

because they don't got new one to show, since the initial campaign was scrapped

[vernal harness]

if the game was doing great why would they have to change their plans

[tribal wyvern]

damn bro i'm just realizing this now?

[worldly star]

doge

[tribal wyvern]

because of said error in the marketing campaign

not cuz of an error with the game itself

there was something in the marketing campaign that didn't make the rest viable

[vernal harness]

its very vague

[fair coral]

Lol

[tribal wyvern]

yes but i'm not a marketing expert

[worldly star]

[vernal harness]

it could mean anything, it could be that the game itself had issues

like there was no build ready for creators to make teasers on

[tribal wyvern]

it could be errors in a marketing campaign could rip it all apart

[worldly star]

they could be just not marketing the game and working on it like normal

[tribal wyvern]

i'm pretty sure that's what they're doing because of the initial marketing being scrapped

[fair coral]

Some of you read far too much into shit.

[worldly star]

look at nintendo, they just announce a game and it just comes out when it does

[tribal wyvern]

i'm pretty sure we'll only see beta dates, beta itself and then nothing til llaunch

[arctic grove]

But what if launch is broken for 1 year like bf4 was?

[halcyon hatch]

Hm

[tribal wyvern]

it's really unfortunate

[worldly star]

very rarely do they go all out for a game

[halcyon hatch]

Nintendo, infamous for its PR team

[tribal wyvern]

then it is what it is

[vernal harness]

nah that blog is pretty interesting, there was clearly something that went wrong

[tribal wyvern]

and it was something that destroyed the pr team

[nova idol]

Still dont know what hazard zone is btw

[tribal wyvern]

since the lead director that wrote the article constantly talks about how he couldn't sleep and was freaking out half the time

[tame cobalt]

I do

[vernal harness]

rarely do i read about marketing teams spending most of their money on something and then having to cancel it lol

[worldly star]

yeah that is pretty shitty on their part

[arctic grove]

Heard its like Tarkov

[tribal wyvern]

seems like a very serious issue that ripped apart a plan that they probably worked really hard on and that a huge amount of money was wasted on

[nova idol]

Youve heard

[worldly star]

if they wont market the game they should at least give us a hazard zone trailer

[obtuse laurel]

Hopefully we get some news on the beta this week if it is still speculated for the 5th or what ever

[halcyon hatch]

Tbh I’m willing to accept them being quiet on that as it could be a addition later on and not come out immediately with the game

[tame cobalt]

Already did

[tribal wyvern]

we won't see hazard zone till just before launch

[fair coral]

Hear me out. Data miners and leakers.

[tribal wyvern]

also exodus was about hazard zone fyi

[arctic grove]

Perhaps Harvard zone marketing was the big error?

[tribal wyvern]

that is definetely not what pulled apart their marketing..........

[nova idol]

Wdym

[tribal wyvern]

it was an issue with the marketing campaign itself

not with the game or dataminers or someshit

[topaz hazel]

Pretty sure it was not

[fair coral]

You yourself said you're not a marketing expert, how do you know?

[nova idol]

I guarantee you they just had nothing to begin with

Theyre just winging it

[tribal wyvern]

cuz the actual marketing expert that wrote the article would've said so

instead he said it was an issue with the teaser campaign

[halcyon hatch]

However I do hope that the lack of silence on hazard zone doesn’t mean that it’s getting zero attention

[tribal wyvern]

not an issue cuz of dataminers or "outside sources" to be vague

[hidden sand]

God damn you all are still arguing about this

[fair coral]

Does the marketing expert work for EA or DICE?

[tribal wyvern]

yes

he is the one that is leading them arketing for 2042

[halcyon hatch]

I just joined in

[worldly star]

just stop caring so much and wait for the game to come out

pretty easy

[vocal tusk]

AKA...they knew the delay was coming, and had to plan for it...with no budget for it

[tribal wyvern]

i'm so stupid though

[fair coral]

Go outside.

[tribal wyvern]

i feel a lot more calm realizing this now

[fair coral]

Pick a hobby.

Do your homework.

Play with your dog.

[halcyon hatch]

It’s raining hard rn and I’m going to a soccer game anyways

[worldly star]

yeah, theres more to life than just waiting for battlefield lmao

get into some other games while you wait

[obtuse laurel]

[tribal wyvern]

@fair coralhave a hobby, can't go outside at 11 pm, done homework, don't have a dog

[worldly star]

get a dog

[tame cobalt]

Plau arkham asylum

[arctic grove]

Yea I have 200+ games i could be playing to wait

[tribal wyvern]

since it means the game is prob thriving and they just can't show us cuz of budget reasons and also they gotta make shit up as they go right now

[fair coral]

The energy that some of the people here put into idolizing leakers or complaining, you could have been the next Lil Uzi Vert or some shit.

[vocal tusk]

I explained this issue with the marketing campaign to you like...weeks ago, and you told me I was wrong 🙃

[agile shore]

arg

[halcyon hatch]

What is the issue

[tribal wyvern]

please show me so i can slap myself in the face

please

[nova idol]

Fym "cuz of budget" its fucking EA

[fair coral]

You can have more than one hobby. Sucks that you have a curfew. I'm sorry you don't have a dog.

[halcyon hatch]

I wanna hear it

[tribal wyvern]

that's a half a billion dollars down the drain man

it's sitll a lot of money

[nova idol]

????

Source?

[tribal wyvern]

i don't got a curfew

[vernal harness]

well if they already fucked up and spent a bunch of money on shit they had to cancel, would you give them more money

[tribal wyvern]

i just dont' wanna go outside so late and i don't got anywhere to go

[vocal tusk]

That they knew about the dalay well before we think they did...and had to throw out the entire marketting plan...remake a new one with no budget for it

[fair coral]

Damn.

[tribal wyvern]

yeah they're past the point of giving more money

[halcyon hatch]

Ok

[fair coral]

I had a curfew when I was 14.

[nova idol]

@tribal wyvern whats your source on $500 million

[tribal wyvern]

no man

[fair coral]

And that was a different time.

[worldly star]

ive never had a curfew

[nova idol]

Also where did the money go

[tribal wyvern]

they can't know about the delay when the delay is a very sudden thing

this issue happened like back in may

[fair coral]

When kids actually played outside until streetlights came on.

The world has changed so much.

[tribal wyvern]

was scrapped

[proud scarab]

^^

[nova idol]

It doesnt just disappear when the release date gets moved

[tribal wyvern]

it was spent on a plan that was canceled

so it's gone

[nova idol]

WhatM

[worldly star]

now its all fortnite and gfuel

[arctic grove]

Miss those days

[worldly star]

society

[proud scarab]

When the streetlights came on, yo butt was inside 😂😂

[nova idol]

What in the god damn copium are you talking about

[true wasp]

society

[fair coral]

Yikes. What a time to be alive.

[fair coral]

Samesies.

[vocal tusk]

Im talking about back in late August, when they realized the issues.

[worldly star]

we live in a society

[nova idol]

That money has to have been spent on something otherwise its still there just sitting

[true wasp]

bf 2042 betta be the clutchest comeback of the year mane

[tribal wyvern]

May 28: I opened my emails to the news that a critical function of the campaign was no longer feasible, jeopardizing the entire teaser campaign. I had to make the call that the investment and current ROI was unacceptable, and we needed to pivot.

I didn’t get a lot of sleep that weekend as I fretted and ruminated over how the fuck I could salvage this component of our marketing campaign that had buy-in from every stakeholder.

[nova idol]

If it was spent on something whatever it is STILL EXISTS

[halcyon hatch]

What

[tribal wyvern]

EA spent 689 million dollars on marketing

[proud scarab]

????

[halcyon hatch]

What

[vocal tusk]

AKA...directly after the playtests on Aug 12-15th

[tame cobalt]

We live in a society where 2042 trailers are but a distant memory

[worldly star]

what marketing

[nova idol]

What was it spent on then?

[tribal wyvern]

taken from the article leading marketing director wrote

[nova idol]

Trailers? Animations? Ads? What is it

[arctic grove]

Here's the thing you never know if it'll be good or not especially when everyone has different opinions there will be those that like it those that don't like it and some in between

[tribal wyvern]

2042 had a whole marketing calendar and teaser campaign planned out that was scrapped last minute

[halcyon hatch]

That was for all their games entirely

[tame cobalt]

Joe

[nova idol]

Because if it was spent on marketing materials, guess what

Theyd still exist

[proud scarab]

The leading marketing director wrote an article and posted it publicly using explicative terms?

[worldly star]

they wouldnt just, do that

that makes no sense

[tribal wyvern]

yes

[nova idol]

Theyd be sitting on a hard drive somewhere but theyd still exist

[tribal wyvern]

they did

[proud scarab]

Yeah. That’s professional.

[worldly star]

why would they throwaway half a billion dollars of marketing material when the fans desperately want more

[tribal wyvern]

https://web.archive.org/web/20210816193018/https://checkyourdms.substack.com/p/teasing-battlefield-2042-or-how-i here is the full article

[tribal wyvern]

the article is deleted now, prob cuz of said expletives but you can view it as archived

[nova idol]

So either A. The money was already spent making shit, in which case it still does exist or B. It wasnt spent at all in which case the money is still in EAs pocket

[worldly star]

these conspiracies are getting wild

[fair coral]

If they spent 689 million and scrapped it.

Investors would have their heads.

[halcyon hatch]

EA has enough money to own a small navy

[fair coral]

I doubt that is what happened.

[tame cobalt]

It's because they had to remove the amogus crossover from the game

[nova idol]

What youre saying makes no goddamn sense lemon

[proud scarab]

And lawsuits

[tribal wyvern]

yeah but it seems EA didn't give them more money for it

[halcyon hatch]

?

[tribal wyvern]

bro read the article

[proud scarab]

There are legalities behind this shit lol

[tribal wyvern]

they scrapped the fucking campaign money was spent on aswell

[arctic grove]

They probably didn’t want to release marketing stuff that had information they could not make before launch

[nova idol]

You dont just throw away $500 million dollars

[halcyon hatch]

What’s the context of what you said

[ornate prairie]

I’m cancelling pre order if they did

[worldly star]

they didnt magically scrap half a billion dollars worth of marketing material

[nova idol]

You dont

[vocal tusk]

I dont think it would have been entirely scrapped. For example, the exodus short would have been a large portion of that money, and it was used

[worldly star]

thats not something that they would do

[tribal wyvern]

then a portion of money might be gone

[worldly star]

thats not something ANY company would do

[halcyon hatch]

I see

[nova idol]

The richest man in the world couldnt throw away 500 million dollars

It just doesnt happen

[tribal wyvern]

ok then i'm wrong abotu that

maybe a portion is gone

[fair coral]

Yeah, I think this is complete bullshit.

[vocal tusk]

Well yes, some of the money would have been wasted, but this is the business world. These things happen

[worldly star]

#getajobyourselfthenwellconsiderit

[shadow imp]

Why

[tribal wyvern]

what i'm not wrong about though is definetely that they had a planned marketing campaign

that was scrapped last minute

[fair coral]

I'm not surprised that people are believing it though.

[tame cobalt]

Mega cringe

[tribal wyvern]

the article isn't bullshit

it's actually written by the real marketing director

[fair coral]

Will grasp at anything negative while they wait around for the game.

[proud scarab]

^

[shadow imp]

Things happen

[fair coral]

Link it to me.

[vocal tusk]

the campaign he is talking about in that article, is an entirely different thing though. that campaign is the glitch campaign

[arctic grove]

What if they were told release news on this day then that day

[proud scarab]

Everyone just needs to like. Wait. 😛

[worldly star]

the game will come out when it comes out

[tribal wyvern]

https://web.archive.org/web/20210816193018/https://checkyourdms.substack.com/p/teasing-battlefield-2042-or-how-i

this isn't negative

nor positive

it's neutral

it's just the reason why marketing is a mess

the game'll be fine

[worldly star]

theres plenty of other stuff coming out too, so if it does get further delayed, its not a big deal

[tribal wyvern]

JDodd (who works at EA) wrote the article

it's 100% legit

[worldly star]

get a job you bum

[delicate hollow]

oh god 1050 is back

[proud scarab]

Guys. Please be civil.

[tame cobalt]

You can be mad at dice if you want, but don't target partwelsh. If they think the way to make a positive change is to fire him, they have to come to that conclusion themselves. They have much more information on the situation than we do

[proud scarab]

Like. This ain’t worth it. XD

[halcyon hatch]

Tbh I’m not upset about that he delays, it’s more about the promises not being consistent and lack of info

[proud scarab]

It’s a game we will all play

[halcyon hatch]

Delays are fine as they happen with every game

[proud scarab]

Calm tf down

[simple linden]

marketing for bf5 was a mess as well, so was the game

[worldly star]

personally attacking the community manager will not solve anything

[tribal wyvern]

it seems that the initial marketing being scrapepd is the reason why promises are inconsistent too

whatever tf caused them to scrap the initial campaign completely fucked over everything

except game itself

like game should be fine

[vocal tusk]

Firing someone for doing as they are asked. Mega LOL

[bleak nebula]

people need a scapegoat, so they're being shitty

[halcyon hatch]

Scapegoat for what tho

[tribal wyvern]

@sick ridgePartWelsh follows what his higher ups tell him

[nova idol]

I want to know why partwelsh said more news was coming this week and then said nothing

Not even retracting that statement

[tribal wyvern]

plans changed

[worldly star]

someone to scream at because they have nothing else good going on in their lives

[nova idol]

Not a word

[vocal tusk]

CMs are a poc....nothing else. As much as we would like them to be more (Some CMs are more in other communities, but not all)

[halcyon hatch]

Ok

[nova idol]

They changed within a week and he couldnt be bothered to tweet out "sorry no news this week"

?

[tribal wyvern]

*his supervisors couldn't be bothered to allow him to tweet out "sorry no news this week"

[worldly star]

does not give you the right to harass the dude

believe it or not

[bleak nebula]

^

[nova idol]

So he was allowed to say something was coming but not allowed to say that it changed?

[tribal wyvern]

yes, i know it's stupid as fuck

but it ain't his fault

[nova idol]

God the copium levels are getting too high in here

[proud scarab]

No one cares

[nova idol]

I gotta get some air

[arctic grove]

Harassing someone is never appropriate

[tame cobalt]

This shit community would've still been at his throat if he said nothing

[proud scarab]

You blocked him for a reason yet still tryin to antagonize some drama.

[worldly star]

yeah its weird, i dont really care though

dude should get a life lmao

[tame cobalt]

HE'S SAYING NOTHING BECAUSE HE'S NOT ALLOWED TO SAY ANYTHING

[vernal harness]

the beta will show up eventually

[tame cobalt]

nevermind, block

[proud scarab]

He probably got TOLD not to say anything afterwards

[tame cobalt]

Ez block

[tall grail]

How about we just stop caring and agree that IT IS WHAT IT IS

❤️ 🙂

[worldly star]

i think ppl should just be patient and let these ppl do their job

the devs have things under control

[vernal harness]

the touch grass approach? too difficult

[vital cloud]

do they though?

[proud scarab]

You can’t do shit tho. XD

[worldly star]

im sure they do

[nova idol]

Do you truly believe that

[vernal harness]

we'll see in 2 months

[worldly star]

eh halfway, just tryna be a little positive

i do think we might see another delay

i dont really care if we do or dont

[tacit sphinx]

i won't lie, i don't think one person on discord shouting into the void about how they hate the community manager personally is going to change a whole lot

[tribal wyvern]

devs working on the game? yes, cm's and higher ups and pr team? no, cuz of the scrapping of the initial campaign like i said earlier

[worldly star]

wym, 1050ti for 2042 on discord told them they have to leak every bit of info they have

partwelsh has no choice

[tribal wyvern]

copium or not you're harassing a guy for doing his job

what's so hard ot understand he needs the higher ups' approval to tweet shit?

[fair coral]

Shit is easy to talk when you're behind a screen.

[vocal tusk]

Imagine thinking its a bad thing...to be hoping that a game you really want to play is in good shape, development wise.

[fair coral]

The fact that you guys feed the trolls just makes me laugh.

[proud scarab]

Again. Unless he was told AFTERWARDS

[worldly star]

plans change

[tribal wyvern]

sucka he WAS TOLD bhy his higher up to do so

[proud scarab]

M

[tribal wyvern]

what's so hard to udnerstand he was told by his boss to tweet that and then things changed out of his control?

[tame cobalt]

Bait or just dumb?

[proud scarab]

Both

[worldly star]

both

[tacit sphinx]

yes, it's annoying that stuff got changed blah blah we've heard it a hundred times before already, but stuff changed. end of the day, you have to deal with it

[chilly ember]

will 2042 be avalible on EAPlay?

[worldly star]

no way you threatened to shoot a guy over video game news

[vernal harness]

what a clown

[tame cobalt]

10 hour trial

[chilly ember]

wack

[tribal wyvern]

you're a psychopath requiring a diagnosis from a psychiatrist

[tacit sphinx]

well that's not a very nice thing to say :)

[stable temple]

Can we get a timer of the days left in September

[cobalt mason]

its just a game people are a little too dramatic

[vocal tusk]

Yes. 10 hour trial for Ea play, full game for the pro/premium version

[chilly ember]

i have pro version

[tribal wyvern]

threatening to shoot an innocent man doing his job over a game

[worldly star]

youll get full access then

[chilly ember]

betttt

[worldly star]

no limit

[tacit sphinx]

yeah that shit doesn't belong here at all

[vernal harness]

thanks

[vocal tusk]

Then you will also get early access to the beta, and a weeks early access to the main game AFAIK

[chilly ember]

sheeeeesh'

[proud scarab]

Yaaaaay he’s gone lol

[fair coral]

Honestly, I hate what the world has turned into.

[vernal harness]

one less deluded baiter

[tribal wyvern]

he's banned fr?

[fair coral]

The folks that go live off the grid, they have the right idea.

[chilly ember]

thought i got pro for no reason xD

[tribal wyvern]

@sick ridge nope

[proud scarab]

Muted maybe

[tribal wyvern]

not muted either

he's just not typing

[vocal tusk]

Gone, no servers in common

https://tenor.com/view/finished-elijah-wood-lord-of-the-rings-lava-fire-gif-5894611

[tacit sphinx]

nah you might just not be synced

[tribal wyvern]

oh but it's saying no servers in common

nah he gone

[delicate hollow]

only one for me hes in is hell let loose

[fair coral]

When a video game has become the pinnacle point of one's life, well, it just makes me sad. There's so much more to life.

[tribal wyvern]

what a psycho bro threatening to shoot an innocent man for doing his job

[delicate hollow]

so yeah he gone

[vocal tusk]

[vocal tusk]

So outside of the guns we have seen, what do you hope is added to 2042?

[worldly star]

50 cal sniper

[proud scarab]

The Lynx >:3

[nova idol]

The game

[glass shadow]

Anime skins

I mean nothing

[proud scarab]

50mm anti personnel cannon

[glass shadow]

Zip 22

[worldly star]

or a .50 beowolf ar

[tacit sphinx]

i'd love a danish frogman styled specialist

[fair coral]

HK45.

[cobalt mason]

i hope that breakthrough will be good

or whatever it is called

[tacit sphinx]

that's some cool gear

[sacred depot]

https://youtu.be/jHPyLu5PWtg

[worldly star]

a FN 5.7

[arctic grove]

I would like some kind off M4 weapon again

AR

[sacred depot]

pp bizon

[vocal tusk]

I hope we get they steyr AUG

[sacred depot]

and the mac 10

[vernal harness]

i need an F3000

[tacit sphinx]

AUG would definitely be nice yeah

[delicate hollow]

unbullpupped aug

[sacred depot]

mac 10 only appeared in 1 game

[worldly star]

i want to see a UMP

[worldly star]

45 or 9mm idrc

[fair coral]

I just want more HKs in general.

[worldly star]

either one would be cool

[arctic grove]

FAMAS would be nice to

[fair coral]

I guess I am biased because I'm a HK drone, but uh. Yeah.

[tacit sphinx]

we basically have a UMP, the lwrc45

[sacred depot]

we're getting a irl ump copy of the LWRC in 2042 according to the trailer

[vocal tusk]

I think UMP 45 was confirmed and seen in a trailer

[worldly star]

not the ugly one from bf4 though

[vernal harness]

theres an SMG just like an UMP, but not the UMP

[sacred depot]

LWRC is the same UMP in MW19 too

[worldly star]

oh nice

i hope theres an mp5

[tacit sphinx]

not technically the same gun but visually close enough that you can fudge the very minor differences and say it's one

[chilly ember]

Is ThErE gOnNa bA a M4????

xD

[worldly star]

a p90 would be cool

[arctic grove]

Is there a variant off the class M4 or M16 ARs?

[limber garden]

Can we get beta news this month as promised or what

Damn it

[worldly star]

maybe the start of next month, its up in the air rn

[chilly ember]

( i was being sarcastic btw i main helos ) xD

[worldly star]

i want to see a futuristic ak 47 type gun

[limber garden]

I don't care about next month they should keep up to their words, the community manager said this month

[worldly star]

maybe like the kn57 from bo4

[chilly ember]

so an an-94?

[chilly ember]

cease

[sacred depot]

ar15 mac 10

dice pls

[worldly star]

no those are totally different guns

[fair coral]

Eh

[tacit sphinx]

the dm7 as it's called in game is based on the daniel defense dm7

[fair coral]

We are getting the Spear.

[brittle forge]

The smg-45 is heavily based of the UMP iirc

[chilly ember]

close enough

[tacit sphinx]

which is an ar15 platform rifle

[fair coral]

Which is replacing the M4 anyways.

[worldly star]

theyre really not

[chilly ember]

the an is pretty much a futuristic ak

[worldly star]

yeah obviously it was based off of it, but i want a futuristic ak

not an an94

[glass shadow]

How futuristic??

[fair coral]

Wolfenstein futuristic.

Obviously.

[wide shore]

According to my FB, I was posting about the BF3 beta on this day 9 years ago. Yeehaw

[arctic grove]

My gun knowledge is like 0 in regards off modern day guns and future guns so I can’t talk much about this topic

[brittle forge]

This game has the version of the Ak-12 that is the one the Russian army actually adopted

Which I believe is the AK-200 series

[tacit sphinx]

we have the ak24 which looks cool

[worldly star]

something like the kn57 from bo4 would be cool

i love the look of it

[fair coral]

:)

[sacred depot]

only gun i remember from bo4 was the vmp

broken af

[brittle forge]

The AK-12 BF4 has wasn’t the design they actually went with

[worldly star]

thats also not even a bo4 gun

[chilly ember]

i remember the vesper 2.0

idk the name

[worldly star]

its recycled from bo3 lmao

[worldly star]

spitfire

[chilly ember]

yeahhhh that one

[vernal harness]

its a DMR in 2042 tho right

[fair coral]

Gimme the AS VAL.

[worldly star]

a skorpion evo in 2042 would be so cool

[sacred depot]

oh the spitfire i remember that

[sacred depot]

its coming to portal

[tacit sphinx]

i won't lie it looks a bit over-futuristic-ified

[fair coral]

I just got my tax stamp for my Scorpion. :DDDDDDD

[fossil trench]

Love and hate the Val

[worldly star]

yeah i can see that

[tacit sphinx]

yeah dmr/semi auto rifle

[fair coral]

Hell yes.

[chilly ember]

my homie in discord said he wants a mp5 on 2042

[worldly star]

i want one too

[sacred depot]

me too

[brittle forge]

Honestly the AK-12 2042 has isn’t too far off the kn-57

[chilly ember]

who dosent

[fair coral]

I don't.

[worldly star]

mp5 is probably one of my favorite guns in games

[fair coral]

I'm sick of the MP5.

[chilly ember]

well your a poppie head

[arctic grove]

MP5 would be great, it’s a long time

[sacred depot]

mp5 could get 10mm auto rounds as a customisation option

[worldly star]

what about the sig mpx

[tacit sphinx]

nah mp5 would be very nice

[fair coral]

Ptobably.

[chilly ember]

sheeesh

[tacit sphinx]

it's so weird that it's from like the 50s lol

[worldly star]

i dont think weve seen this in very many games at all

[tacit sphinx]

ok 60s

[fair coral]

I'd take anything from the MPX/MCX line.

[brittle forge]

Honestly I think the Vector is more overrated than the MP5 is

In terms of showing up in games anyway

[arctic grove]

MP7 🙂

[wide shore]

Vector look futuristic though

[fair coral]

I don't think so.

[worldly star]

can we get the mp9 as a pistol

[wide shore]

Please no fully auto sidearms

[fair coral]

Considering how long the MP5 has existed and how many forms of media have came out in that time frame.

I doubt that.

[worldly star]

no make it semi auto

i just want to see the gun in the game

[vernal harness]

we definitely getting a full auto glock

[fair coral]

Full auto CZ.

[wide shore]

[brittle forge]

Well that’s the thing the MP5 was adopted. I don’t think any military adopted the Vector for anything further than a trial run

[tacit sphinx]

i wouldn't be surprised to see an automatic sidearm, as long as it's not just like objectively better than everything else i don't mind massively

[delicate hollow]

full auto 22. disk mag lmg for 2042

[worldly star]

sig m400 would also be a cool rifle i think

[brittle forge]

I don’t hate the Vector obviously but I am puzzled but just how many games feature it given that

[fair coral]

A few have.

[brittle forge]

Oh really? Nvrmind then ig

[wide shore]

Problem is, it will be

[tacit sphinx]

https://youtu.be/J50N5lQoAFw can i interest you in this?

[radiant echo]

Oooof that was so good

[delicate hollow]

yes

give me

[radiant echo]

There is another G18 pistol in 2042 but it's much slower

[tacit sphinx]

it's just a cool gun tbh

[delicate hollow]

we need a gun with a 2000 firerate that shoots 22.

[tacit sphinx]

visually and mechanically

[wide shore]

F2000 BB, bring it back

[fair coral]

I have a Vector chambered in .45 and I love it.

[radiant echo]

Well I guess the recoil of that is gonna be insane

[brittle forge]

It is. I like the ACR for similar reasons

[fair coral]

Completely love it.

Easily one of my favorite guns.

[tacit sphinx]

apparently the vector in rainbow six is chambered for 7.62 nato lol

[tame cobalt]

What is a jellyfish

[fair coral]

Yes, Lion's gun.

And uses a drum mag.

[worldly star]

i hope that by the end of the games lifecycle theres just a huge list of guns in the game

[tame cobalt]

Do jellyfish have organs

[sour meadow]

what the fuck is the media team at DICE doing besides sitting on their ass

[tacit sphinx]

the drum mag is one thing but i think there's a significant possibility the mechanism would just not work

[worldly star]

can we not start this argument again

[fair coral]

Yeah, that's howni feel about it too.

[sour meadow]

what happened

[tacit sphinx]

well... at this specific moment probably doing just that since it's a sunday night

[worldly star]

just wait for the game and be patient

also its a weekend

theyre not working

[brittle forge]

The gun from R6S I like the most is Jackal’s tricked out C7. Looks pretty nice

[fair coral]

I started playing Rainbow Six again after three years in the downtime.

[brittle forge]

Blackbeard’s SR25 is cool too

[fair coral]

Actually having fun with it too.

[radiant echo]

I hope recoil in 2042 is not as hard as R6S

[tame cobalt]

We're just tryna chill in this chat. Go to r/battlefield2042 if you wanna be mad

[radiant echo]

SMG-12 there is 🤮

[tacit sphinx]

jonathan ferguson did two videos on it recently on the gamespot channel, i didn't realise how odd some of the weapon choices are ngl

[worldly star]

i hope we see a hk g3

[brittle forge]

On R6?

[worldly star]

a g4, if you will

[fair coral]

I'm sad that I am not in the UK. I wanna visit the museum. Shake his hand too. Buy him a pint.

[tacit sphinx]

i do appreciate adding funky guns but a sterling smg probably doesn't have that much place in a tactical environment lol

[brittle forge]

Given portal is targeting BF3 I think that game’s G3 will show up

[radiant echo]

My first main gun is gonna be the AK-24 cuz I love the ak-12 in BF4

[foggy crest]

barrett m82 this is what i want bro

[worldly star]

i hope so

[radiant echo]

[worldly star]

m82 is too old

newer ones are so much better

[sacred depot]

also the cz skorpion has a hk slap in siege

[fair coral]

My primary load outs will probably be the MCX Spear/1911 and the Vector/1911.

[sacred depot]

[radiant echo]

XM8 from BC2

[foggy crest]

i mean newer ones will also work 😁

[tacit sphinx]

the swedish military does actually have an updated G3 for reserve troops which i wouldn't be that surprised to see because a) cool gun and b) swedish developers

[worldly star]

i hope theres a p250 or something similar in the game

[tame cobalt]

i just want a gun that looks cool and shoots cool

[vernal harness]

pretty sure i saw a G3 somewhere

[worldly star]

would be really to see that, yeah

[amber panther]

guys want to hear a joke?

[tacit sphinx]

nooo discord got rid of my favourited gifs

[arctic grove]

This hehe

[brittle forge]

I hope the HK433 shows up. It’s inclusion in MW2019 was pretty neat

[fair coral]

Nope.

[radiant echo]

[tame cobalt]

Which is why the chauchat is my fav LMG

[amber panther]

wake me up, when SEP-TEM-BER ends

[radiant echo]

Summon patience

[fair coral]

I don't blame you for wanting to sleep, PUBG sucks.

[fossil trench]

The L85 is feels so out of place in real life

Just a random thought

Such an ugly gun

[tame cobalt]

Will there be a double barrel shotgun

[arctic grove]

Lewis LMG is also great imo.. dated but great

[amber panther]

i have another joke

[brittle forge]

Probably lol

[fossil trench]

L85 in BF4 though is 👌

[fair coral]

Mmmm. 725.

[radiant echo]

[amber panther]

last jokeguys i swear.. just give me a chance

[fossil trench]

No. Please no

[unique escarp]

Beta reveal gonna be with the beta release no cap

[vocal tusk]

https://youtu.be/lvx2RFkst4U

[radiant echo]

go for it it's legal

[fossil trench]

Even after 3+ nerfs .725 is still too op

[worldly star]

no

[calm orbit]

how many days before will early access at game launch be for 2042?

[unique escarp]

What do ya call ya the person who gave birth to you

[brittle forge]

The double barrel from the BF1 Russian dlc was sick. It’s unironically my favorite double barrel in a game

[worldly star]

clearly you have not mastered the double shot incendiary shotgun

[radiant echo]

7

[fair coral]

M30 Drilling.

[fossil trench]

725 is a joke

[worldly star]

or the 30 round semi auto long barrel shotgun

[amber panther]

Never mind, its "Way a head of its schedule" you wont get it

[fair coral]

Sniper master.

[fossil trench]

No skill required gun

[calm orbit]

Nice, thx man

[radiant echo]

Ah yeah

[radiant echo]

no worries

[worldly star]

my laughter wasnt "delayed" its just never happening

[tacit sphinx]

pog i found the gif i was looking for

[arctic grove]

I never liked shotguns.. it just seems to easy to use. Sorry

[tacit sphinx]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/806167879821164614/857284492158566420/makesweet-tgwwlo.gif

[fossil trench]

That’s why it’s so good

[brittle forge]

In BF I never really found a use for them ngl

[radiant echo]

[tame cobalt]

You are free to your opinion

[worldly star]

i think battlefield should do a more realistic take on shotguns

[brittle forge]

Maps are too ranged outside of tdm and stuff like Metro

[fossil trench]

Metro BF4 with Saika 😩

[fair coral]

Clearing a point or breaking through a defense.

[tame cobalt]

I love me a nice shotty

[fair rain]

Bf1 trench shotguns absolutely slapped cheeks

[radiant echo]

Idk BF5 seemed good for me

[sacred depot]

shotgun sniper

[worldly star]

increase the range, and increase the damage fall off

[tacit sphinx]

yeah, i'd love for them to at least keep some effect past like 15m

[fossil trench]

Yeah just unreliable in most situations

[tame cobalt]

Play on shotgun forest

[worldly star]

dont change the damage, just the effective range

[fair coral]

If I can shoot a target at 75 yards with a slug.

[fair rain]

Had like two dozen service stars on the trench shotgun

[fair coral]

I expect to do it in game too.

[sacred depot]

rdr2 double barrel was the perfect double barrel imo

[tacit sphinx]

but at the same time it gets a bit weird when you balance them realistically then they end up mad OP because the rest of the guns are not balanced like that

[vernal harness]

well we are getting slug/scope hotswaps

[sacred depot]

it had mid range power and a detailed reload

[fair rain]

The hell fighter or whatever it was called

[fossil trench]

I forget the name, but there’s one shotgun in BF1 which is basically a insta kill sniper

[vernal harness]

they dont need to make buckshot longer ranges

[fossil trench]

it’s OP

[vocal tusk]

Balance 7.62 rifles so they do more damage through armor 😛

[radiant echo]

I want to see the Super shotgun from doom eternal with meat hook

[worldly star]

i think if they had similar range to a pistol itd be good

[fair rain]

Super shotgun best shotgun in any game ever

[worldly star]

that way its still close quarters but not op at range either

[radiant echo]

That's for sure

[fossil trench]

Buckshot is lethal at 100 feet

[vernal harness]

yeah its a videogame

[fossil trench]

Ofc

[vocal tusk]

since the reason modern agencies want to service 7.62, is for that exact reason...getting though modern body armor

[worldly star]

idc that its a video game, shotguns should not be useless

[fossil trench]

It’s stupid though

[fair rain]

Annoying how in like cod you shoot a shotgun and its damage drops by 95% after 10 feet

[radiant echo]

Remember when shotguns got buffed on BF4 in the Spring patch 2015

[pine zenith]

Raccoon

[shadow summit]

are we allowed to post leaks here?

[fair rain]

Forever an smg meta game, boring

[vernal harness]

shotguns are not useless in bfv at all

[radiant echo]

That when it got very strong

[fossil trench]

Yeah lmao

[worldly star]

no

[radiant echo]

Don't post leaked stuff

[tacit sphinx]

yeah that's still not publically available content

[fossil trench]

Reminds me of suppressor trade offs

[radiant echo]

👍

[fossil trench]

It’s all bs

Longer barrel means shorter range?

Like bro

[radiant echo]

Hmmmmmmm

[fair rain]

Yea how does adding a suppressor make it do less damage as well

[radiant echo]

[fair rain]

A bullet is a bullet

[topaz crown]

I know right

[radiant echo]

Welcome to fps games

[shadow summit]

mb

[worldly star]

suppressors should help recoil, change my mind

[radiant echo]

It's always has been

[shadow summit]

is there a channel that i can opt in for leak discussion?

[arctic grove]

They have to make a trade off somewhere tough

[vocal tusk]

No

[worldly star]

yeah, unofficial discord servers.

[radiant echo]

I mean they think it's for balance right
?

[shadow summit]

can u dm me those? i only know of this one ;/

[fair coral]

https://tenor.com/view/bugs-bunny-bunny-no-nope-nou-gif-14651222

[radiant echo]

Wait for beta 👍

[worldly star]

no, idk any others

im fine just not discussing leaks

[amber panther]

can someone link me to mr Tom hendersons twitter account? i just want to read some BF2042 news tweet

[radiant echo]

Look for r/BattlefieldLeaks

[arctic grove]

If guns with a suppressor on them deal as much damage as a gun without.. they might be OP

[radiant echo]

[fair rain]

Suppressor should just remove minimap blips, other barrel attachments reduce recoil and muzzle flash

[topaz crown]

Tom Henderson Discord

[radiant echo]

exactly

[radiant echo]

That's good

[fair coral]

I think suppressors should negatively impact accuracy if the gun doesn't have suppressor sights.

[vocal tusk]

@tacit sphinx Correct me if I am wrong, but isnt the AK 5C in BF4 pretty close to what a modern G3 would be?

[fair coral]

[radiant echo]

[fossil trench]

MW19 did suppressors beautifully. Longer gun makes handling slower

[shadow summit]

btw do we know just how much u can customize ur weapon? is it the level of mw or indepth as fuck like eft?

[radiant echo]

Big deal hah

[arctic grove]

Yeah not a bad idea

[radiant echo]

I don't like the idea of adding a barrel affecting mobility like in MW2019

[shadow summit]

that game brought me back to cod lol.. the gun mechanics, gunplay of how it feels.. so satisfying

[radiant echo]

at all

[vernal harness]

4 slots, multiple attachments with the plus system

[fair coral]

I shot my HK45C without suppressor sights once, it was hilarious.

[fair rain]

I hope 2042 has the Ace 23, beauty of a gun right there

[amber panther]

supressor does lower damage to guns in videogames. that how it works

[radiant echo]

[shadow summit]

wdym by 4 slots?

[arctic grove]

We sadly don’t know a lot about 2042 😦

[shadow summit]

so like more than cod mw then?

[vernal harness]

did you watch the gameplay trailer with the plus system thing?

[wraith sphinx]

from leaks and some gameplay I think its kinda close to MW2019

[radiant echo]

ammo ,Barrel ,Scope and under barrel

[shadow summit]

i was surprised just how much u can customize guns in mw.. u can take out stock, change ammo type, etc... was wondering if its the same for 2042

[fossil trench]

SAME! I absolutely love MW19. Imagine a COD game outbeating Battlefield in terms of gun customization

[radiant echo]

nope

[shadow summit]

nah im just now inddulging myself with all 2042 news lol

[fair rain]

I just hope we have more than the like 12 guns we know about so far lol

[radiant echo]

I hope we don't have the problem of the artificial meta with gun setups

[vernal harness]

yea its not gonna be gunsmith but you'll be able to hotswap a bunch of attachments during the game @shadow summit

[shadow summit]

yea nothing close to it.. i wana say sandstorm but their customization is even less than cod lol

[shadow summit]

ooh ya the quick change thing

[fair rain]

Should be more like 3-4 dozen guns minimum, 5-6 dozen would be the sweet spot

[shadow summit]

i saw that one.. but i was refering to the actual changing of ur weapon attachements like remove stock for faster ads type thing

[amber panther]

1 thing i regret playing the Alpha test was not testing the plus system ingame. i was just running around all weapons in stock with iron sights

[arctic grove]

It's akin to Gmods MK Addon attachment UI on darkrp and pvp servers

[fair rain]

At launch

[shadow summit]

didnt even know u can sign up for alpha o.o

[tacit sphinx]

honestly i'm fine with the apparently slightly less freedom than MW, that ended up with a lot of useless slots/attachments often

[shadow summit]

is that thing over now?

[fair rain]

Dlc should add more guns

[radiant echo]

I doubt we will see a changer of the speed of ads

[fair rain]

Bf4 had 84 primary guns

[amber panther]

depends if u received an email last august

[shadow summit]

i reach to the point were this was my reason to keep playing cod.. just random ways to build ur gun was fun as fuck

[arctic grove]

The plus system has a great chance off being absolutely fenomenal

[vocal tusk]

10 slots coming in vanguard, right....oh man...that seems messy

[shadow summit]

i didnt sign up for anything lol so prolly not

[fossil trench]

Too many trash guns though

[shadow summit]

its not trash just cuz u dont like it *

[radiant echo]

That is great but sadly it leads to some kinda of meta which make some guns OP

and all people play with the same setup

[vernal harness]

i think its gonna be more simplified so it can be balanced better

no turning an AR into an smg

[shadow summit]

i know people who uses off meta guns just for purely aesthetic and they love the gun irl.. not for stats lol

[fossil trench]

Yeah definitely. Mare’s leg is OP

[amber panther]

me too didiint sign up anythhing but i do have a 11 year old EA account so maybe thats what it is im not sure tho why they picked me.. maybe just random

[fair rain]

Ak 107 would be nice

[shadow summit]

i think thats wat kills fun nowadays.. devs thinking they can balance the game but all their doing is making flavor of the month guns/classes lol

[fair rain]

Very aesthetically pleasing gun

All black, no ugly brown wood

[radiant echo]

Yeah might be but still balancing guns will be somewhat harder

[shadow summit]

do u remember the email they sent to you?

gna look up if i get one lol

[fossil trench]

I wish BF would come up with original gun designs

[arctic grove]

beta date?

[radiant echo]

But yeah changing AR to SMG that's fun

[radiant echo]

this week hopefully

[amber panther]

its EA

[fossil trench]

Accessible* and yeah it’s BS

[shadow summit]

ive played other genre like mmorpg.. balancing term is a joke.. not a single mmorpg out there is balance.. whats broken or whats good is always dictated by that next week patch update xd

[arctic grove]

How about a 50 cal sniper but with armor piercing rounds for light vehicles, kind off like a BF1 Anti Tank rifle

[latent swift]

how about just adding the 50 kal ak

[vernal harness]

why? it probably needs to be simplified due to the plus system hotswapping

[radiant echo]

Yeah lol it's different tho imo

[fair rain]

50 cal desert eagle or revolver

[latent swift]

yea but make it beowulf

[somber nebula]

no

[fair rain]

We need some op pistols, all the pistols in past battlefields just suck tbh

[somber nebula]

nah

[fossil trench]

They’re making FPS games for people who don’t play FPS games. Accessibility is the wrong focus in FPS titles.

[amber panther]

vehicles wont stand a chance in 2042, since everyone else can use an RPG.. just imagine 30 at least people RPG ur tank at the same time

[somber nebula]

bf3 had the rex

[vernal harness]

the revolver and g18 will both be dank

[radiant echo]

I predict that we will see a lot of people complaining about 2042 lacking customization unlike MW2019 and if 2042 does like MW they will say they're copying

[arctic grove]

Ehh revolvers in bf5 are two shots tough

[somber nebula]

bf4 has magnum, deagle, sw40, g18

[latent swift]

make it so its super fast to bring out the pistols so that they are more important

[radiant echo]

m12 rex

[fair coral]

Changing my ringtone to be the remix of Seven Nation Army from the BF1 trailer was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

[vernal harness]

the model 27 headshots up to 30

[somber nebula]

rex is bad on bf4

[vernal harness]

mini pocket sniper

[fair rain]

They made it aids to unlock those pistols in bf4

[radiant echo]

ta ttat ata tttaaa

[somber nebula]

nah

[fossil trench]

cough G18 cough

[somber nebula]

ive got all sidearms

[fair rain]

I had like hundreds of hours in bf4 and the best pistol I had unlocked was a Glock

[radiant echo]

Lol deagle was quite hard cuz you had to unlock the unica 6 first

[fair coral]

I like the Rex though.

[tame cobalt]

Vartlefield

[fair coral]

Have gotten some cheeky and clean kills with it.

[radiant echo]

It's the best one imo

[fossil trench]

Nothing is better than the G18

[somber nebula]

magnum

[fair coral]

I still use the HK45C though, as it is my carry gun irl.

[fair rain]

The full auto Glock?

[fair coral]

But yee.

[radiant echo]

Guys anyone here tried to play with the maer's leg ?

It's shit

[amber panther]

rex looks like a short fatcock handgun tho

[delicate hollow]

best gun in the game is the mares leg

[somber nebula]

i havent used the g18 for months now

[fair coral]

Mare's Leg my favorite gun in the game.

[buoyant nimbus]

rex slaps

[somber nebula]

i just main the magnum

[radiant echo]

[plain hare]

Damn right

[fossil trench]

My favorite gun

[radiant echo]

[fair coral]

I'm not even fronting, I love it.

I love lever actions.

[buoyant nimbus]

pepper em up, pull out the rex, bang bang, dead

[fair coral]

I truly hope we get one in 2042.

[radiant echo]

I'm so bad with it

[fair rain]

We need dual wield Kolibri's

[radiant echo]

[buoyant nimbus]

I get way more kills with the g18 though

[arctic grove]

The kolibrie meme,.

[plain hare]

BF2042 has my favorite side-arm the magnum, but I hope they add the rex or Deagle 44

[radiant echo]

Yeah I got 5 kills with the mare's leg

[fair rain]

But for real some cool sidearms would be a Scorpion, Tec-9, CZ75

[tame cobalt]

We need a mode where you grow an extra arm to wield another kolibri each time you get a kill without dying

[buoyant nimbus]

mares leg is no joke

[fair coral]

I just hope that there isn't a blatant gun meta. I'd like to see the guns be right in their intended uses, but not like the Vector nabbing sweet headshots from across the map or something.

[fossil trench]

Impossible

[vernal harness]

i think the current 44 is a Taurus

[radiant echo]

Yeah 🤣

[buoyant nimbus]

I just want the guns to be true...none of this added in random dogshit

[radiant echo]

I mean we will see in the first year at least

[fair rain]

Mares leg looks like a RDR2 gun lol

[radiant echo]

yeah true

[plain hare]

Looks like the Taurus 66, but they call it the M44

[solar moss]

ah yes because all 1800s lever action rifles are from rdr2

thats like saying the scar h/l looks like its from fortnite

[radiant echo]

[delicate hollow]

dataminers show a lever action gun

mares leg 2 time

les go

[radiant echo]

[fossil trench]

Was literally just about to say that lol

[plain hare]

yOu'Re tElLiNg mE fOrTniTe diDn'T iNvEnT tHe sCaR?

[fair rain]

Wild west was just revolvers and bolt action rifles dumby so no duh it does

[buoyant nimbus]

akimbo mare's leg

[solar moss]

i hope youre being ironic

[fair coral]

.......

Please do not toy with me, Ash.

[arctic grove]

Well, I guess it’s time for bed.. good night/day

[delicate hollow]

its true my friend

[solar moss]

i better be able to fire buckshot out of it and get akimbo 1887s in 2021

[delicate hollow]

well

its datamined so

[fair coral]

I. I am so happy right now. If it confirms to be true, of course.

[delicate hollow]

cant fully trust a datamine but yeah

cowboy times

yeehaw

[solar moss]

40x scope on lever action rifle

[uneven palm]

Your banner is beautiful

[fair coral]

Russian 1895 Trench/Peacekeeper loadout in BF1.

Giddy up.

[buoyant nimbus]

there are going to be some crazy servers out there, I cannot wait to see what people come up with

[shadow summit]

i just hopes maps are as good as bf3 😉

[solar moss]

i really hope self loading rifles from bfv dont come back

the zh 29 is the bane of my existence

and the sebst 1906

[fair rain]

There shouldn't be any of those ancient guns being used in 2042

[solar moss]

no skill semi auto rifles that take 2 bodyshots to kill

[vernal harness]

i fully expect a 10 bullet "ZH" clone gun

[solar moss]

i hope that nothing like them comes into 2042

[vernal harness]

its gonna be hell

[solar moss]

2 shot bodyshot kill semi autos are broken in nearly every game theyre in

[arctic grove]

Uhuuhhhhhggg I absolutely hate semu automatic snipers..

[plain hare]

I don't mind if 2042 has one or two historical weapons

[dusk frigate]

sturmgewher is best

[fossil trench]

Those would be DMRs

[dusk frigate]

and then Tommy gun

[fair coral]

Samesies.

[solar moss]

i mean ones that 2 shot to the body from nearly any range

ZH29 literally has infinite two shot kill range

[fair rain]

So a DMR with a thermal scope

[vernal harness]

zh's damage model is so wack

[solar moss]

no skill piece of garbage gun

[plain hare]

DM7 looks like it's gonna be my favorite gun

[vernal harness]

2 foot shots at 400m

[plain hare]

Looks like a 3 shot kill DMR

[solar moss]

3 shot kills on dmrs is balanced, anything less that doesnt require headshots is stupid

[plain hare]

Exactly

[solar moss]

the punishment for hitting the body with a sniper should be waiting for the bolt to chamber or getting less damage

bfv rewards you for hitting the body in every damn way it can

allowing you a 2nd 50 dmg follow up shot and spotting them automatically

[fair rain]

Usually DMR is op regardless, just prone in a low visibility map with a thermal scope and spam chest kill everyone in your sights

Little to no recoil on those guns prone

[fossil trench]

I never use thermal on anything

[vernal harness]

theres going to be anti scope mechanics i think

EMP, hacks

[plain hare]

Gonna be a bush rat with a DMR and target people who don't PTFO

[fair coral]

I am excited to try the Daniel Defense DMR.

[fair rain]

Thermal sight on the wave breaker map in bf4 was OP

[shadow summit]

semi > auto fire

[fair rain]

Dark ass water tunnel

[plain hare]

Same, it looks like so much fun

[vernal harness]

i'd be fine with thermals not coming back at all

[fair rain]

Just prone on the other side and snipe everyone with a DMR and they don't know what's hitting them

[solar moss]

thermals should come back but they should actually work like they do irl

[shadow summit]

u act like everyone knows how to lead their shot tho XD

[solar moss]

so they get dazed by bright lights, other heat signatures show up besides bodies and vehicles

[fossil trench]

Why aren’t thermals a thing

[vernal harness]

also if they ran at 30hz or whatever, that would be kinda cool

[fair rain]

On the wave breaker map in bf4 visibility was dogshit in the submarine tunnel area

[shadow summit]

lol this aint eft

[vernal harness]

thermals need balancing mechanics

[fair rain]

So thermal was op even though people are only like 50m away from you

[tranquil turtle]

Make a specialist that's immune to thermals

[plain hare]

It'd be way too hard without a sniper scope to consistently hit people and if you use a sniper scope your glint will show so

[vernal harness]

bf4 thermals are really obnoxious

[solar moss]

jesser we need to cok

[fair rain]

I don't think thermal scope on dmrs had a glint

[plain hare]

Also bullet drop + leading

[solar moss]

muzzle flash should appear on thermals as a heat signature so theyre harder to use

[fossil trench]

Sniper glint gives me OCD

[plain hare]

They might change that

[solar moss]

sinai desert

[plain hare]

But we'll have to wait

[fossil trench]

“That’s not how sniper glint works”

[solar moss]

runs for 5 minutes only to feel 10 sniper bullets whizzing past you

look at the cliff

10 glints

no sliding means theyre harder to dodge

[fair rain]

That snow map is gonna be a sniper fest

[shadow summit]

lol how

[solar moss]

also can we just talk about how in bfv 3x scopes have no glint

i dont get that

its only 6x ones that do

[plain hare]

Well hey at least we don't got MW2019 snipers

[fair rain]

New gadget in 2042, anti glare scopes

Apply tint to your scope

[tacit sphinx]

they definitely do? on recon weapons at least

[solar moss]

no, they dont, its only 6x that do, really

imo they should do it on assault weapons + medic weapons too

jungle carbine users

[fossil trench]

Sniper glint is the reflection of the sun. The sun isn’t exactly out in the middle of the night, is it?

Just video game logic lol

[solar moss]

i just hope visibility is better in 2042

so proning with mmgs isnt so effective anymore

the most annoying stuff in the world besides the ZH29 is there being a support in a ghillie suit who just sprays you in the back

or even worse

getting one shot in the legs by an AT rifle

by a scout whos breakdancing around on the floor

[vocal tusk]

I'd love to see hardcore make a comeback in 2042 tbh

[arctic grove]

HELLO MY NAME IS HARRY THE HAMSTER IM A LITTLE BIT FURRY AND A LITTLE BIT HAIRY

[visual oasis]

[royal swan]

What did I just walk in on

[visual oasis]

Dead chat

[royal swan]

Ok it's the 26th we still have time

[royal swan]

Nah it's just down and needs a revive

[fair coral]

Okay.

I want an opinion.

[visual oasis]

Okay

[fair coral]

I was just in a game in Siege. My teammate killed me for no reason and then talked shit to me.
