battlefield-2042

[sullen inlet]

I mean months have 30,31 and 28 days, so median is like 29,8 days

[lavish zinc]

My issue with it is it takes too long to get into the action and there's really nothing between the capture points.

[vocal tusk]

You can play all maps and use all 2042 content in Portal

[orchid root]

True

[spark fog]

You travel across the map just to get shot. lol

[zenith heron]

I think we can all assume that a full map will be available in the real game, which will help with objectives

[lapis lantern]

Anyone else see the tornado take out the rocket as it launched?

[brisk hill]

When people literally cried watching trailer, the game will be good.
Trust me, it will.

[crimson saffron]

thats a conquest problem, not the map lmao

[light cradle]

They have to optimize the game more, im the only one of my friends that didnt cancel preorder because of performance issues. One my friend had stutters on an i9 lmao

[sullen inlet]

Ok N

[lavish zinc]

The map would still be empty

[orchid root]

My brother saw it

[graceful robin]

great criticism

[vocal tusk]

Who was your least favorite specialist?

[light cradle]

Boris

[lavish zinc]

I wish we got an urban map to play on

[orchid root]

Boris

[lapis lantern]

Crashed my game but it was wild af for a minute lol

[shut summit]

Okay. Assuming you aren't just trolling, please explain why the game sucked, what they could do to make it better, and what they did right.

[vocal tusk]

Clear signs of someone who didnt play the game TBH. Your comments will furthermore be disregarded

[lapis lantern]

Ill post a clip of it in media later today

[crimson saffron]

go on then

[lavish zinc]

Boris is amazing big russian man funny

[lucid goblet]

Just ignore the troll, don't feed them attention

[orchid root]

Cg we had one job

[white loom]

I think 2042 should get a delay for 3 reasons

1. Bugs. There were a ton of bugs and despite the build being old I doubt the can patch all of those.

2. Optimization the game ran terribly on old gen consoles to the point that it was nogh unplayable and new gen didn’t fair too much better. I had to play at 720 p all low settings to get 60 fps on a gtx 1650

3. Operators. Operators felt forced by some upper level executive to appeal for cod players. They need to rework the operator system more.

[mighty sigil]

🤡

[neat jay]

I hope you realize its a beta not a finished product

[rose fiber]

You should consider beta was some months old version

[light cradle]

Mckay is fun and OP, casper is cool asf on his ghille suit and maria is a badass grandma, boris was boring imo

[hidden wren]

no reasoning with these people, dont even bother

[radiant echo]

Wow literally my youtube feed today is about beta reviews

[neat jay]

Fair

[radiant echo]

Game is gonna flop

[cunning steppe]

Ratio

[vocal tusk]

Why exactly do specialists appeal to COD players? Ive seen this said a lot...but not a single person has given a reason

[crimson saffron]

the specialists just seem to be replacing the class system, dont see a probelm with that tbf

[lavish zinc]

Why didn't they use a newer build..

[high fractal]

Badass grandma lmaoo

[lapis lantern]

"@MODMAIL"

[rose fiber]

I ask myself the same question actually

[white loom]

Ok I am kinda cool with them but they need a rework

[lavish zinc]

Simps and weed cosmetics funne

[orchid root]

How

[white loom]

We need them to differentiate between factions

[lucid goblet]

There's nothing P2W about the game...

[neat jay]

True imo its more of a meh tho bc I miss running a repair tool and rpg but thats just my personal preference

[lavish zinc]

They're also throwing in a lot of old characters so nostalgia too

[high fractal]

He’s trolling ignore him

[rose fiber]

Even tho I hate specialists system replacing classes, they're gonna be free for everyone

[cunning steppe]

It is all cosmetics

[white loom]

Unless a operator appears in the battlepass I doubt it

[lapis lantern]

Get'em Carpo

[icy agate]

as long as there is a visual difference on the specialits on different teams im fine with the system 🙏

[lavish zinc]

Cpt. Price being in CW makes no sense but there he is

[unkempt beacon]

Cosmetics are p2w because you get to kill people looking like a winner

[vocal tusk]

Cant play it if you dont pay for the game...If you dont pay...you cant win (Giga-Brain logic)

[unkempt beacon]

[high fractal]

Trueee

[white loom]

Meanwhile woods telling us he is a onion:

[crimson saffron]

cpt prices new voice actor is whack compared to the OG price

[rose fiber]

Actually game is p2w since hacks are being sold xD

[neat jay]

The operators are something new and cool to experiment with though so I dont have a issue with it

[white loom]

P2bealoser

[lavish zinc]

OH AND THEY ADDED RAMBO AND MCCLAIN

[high fractal]

Ngl Og price voice actor was so good

[unkempt beacon]

SOAP

[lavish zinc]

they couldn't even hire an impersonator. They just use movie clips for their voice.

[white loom]

The new voice actor is arguably about as good as the og.

[arctic grove]

Boris big sexy man

[simple iron]

Minecraft is the best battlefield.

[rose fiber]

Yes

[white loom]

Have you seen those mob votes? They get scarier than the deepest trench

[naive trellis]

Now that's a good one right there.

[neat jay]

Im just waiting to drive a jeep back into a tornado again

[vocal tusk]

👈

[white loom]

That bf5 guy: if you don’t like don’t buy it

That guy 5 seconds later: shouldn’t have said that. Should not have said that

[wise zodiac]

Wilde, are we still able to provide feedback on the beta in the forums?

[modern basin]

Can you still stick C5 onto a jeep?

[arctic grove]

Shirtless boris skin?

[graceful robin]

Ye

[white loom]

Beautiful

[vocal tusk]

Yes...I spent several hours killing tanks and AA with C5 jeeps/Quadbikes

[naive trellis]

I think so, yeah.

[modern basin]

I know what I’m doing when the game releases

[neat jay]

Im already getting flashbacks oh shit

[wise zodiac]

I'll make that post about the UI thing with gunners then.

[white loom]

Yo guys imagine a battlefront game but with the mechanics of battlefield

[neat jay]

Ngl that prob would be good

[vocal tusk]

Its called the original Battlefront 2 😛

[unkempt beacon]

Battlefront 2 og baybe

[white loom]

That doesn’t have a dynamic destructible map

[crimson saffron]

any chance of a 5v5/6v6 game mode?

[white loom]

But it gets points cuz space battles slaps

[graceful robin]

In portal anything’s possible

[rose fiber]

You'll probably get hundreds of those in Portal

[tame cobalt]

Based

[unkempt beacon]

Why lmfao this is battlefield its meant to be big fights

[vocal tusk]

Fun

[white loom]

Making a joke of r6 I think

[crimson saffron]

nothing wrong with more game modes

[tame cobalt]

Boris looks so concerned tho

[arctic grove]

Me and my brother put c5 under a jeep but it didn't go far up only 8 feet off the ground I thought they brought back crazy c4 physics

[white loom]

I have a clip of a boris corpse stuck in a fence violently wiggling

[graceful robin]

Hot

[radiant echo]

How to use call in vehicle system

[white loom]

#streams-and-videos

[grizzled garnet]

Bruh what

[vocal tusk]

So thats where all the LATV4s were

[arctic grove]

I expected this in battlefront 2 but was a big disappointment.

[neat jay]

I can tell portal is gonna be a all out shitpost fight

[radiant echo]

Yep

[vocal tusk]

Disney controls those games, so dont expect gore or destruction

[white loom]

By the end if bf2 life it became a good game. But by then the player base was small

It did enough tho cuz act man managed to like it

[crude nova]

This is 80% of my memory of BF3 🤣

[tame cobalt]

Disney bout to make an R rated deadpool movie doe

[white loom]

My life in bf4 consists of mostly dying

[arctic grove]

Classic battlefront 1 & 2 were well done.

[rose fiber]

I do hope in future Portal will give you option to place items to change the part of map like containers, fences etc

[white loom]

Bf2 was good for space battles

Bf1 had good infantry

[radiant echo]

Why walk while you can fly

[arctic grove]

Agreed

[sturdy flame]

https://tenor.com/view/mind-blown-whoa-wow-gif-23029400

[civic stream]

Guys is battlefield 2042 good

[arctic grove]

Agreed

[shut sequoia]

i liked it

[sturdy flame]

it is

[white loom]

It needs more cooking in a oven

[zenith heron]

I had fun but I hope they make some changes

[civic stream]

I pre ordered gold but terrified about the complaining

[white loom]

I think a delay to April 2022 might be enough.

[valid merlin]

Go read Tom’s article

[sturdy flame]

i hope they have more attachments for the weapons

[vale wadi]

I wish battlefield 2042 had the same impulse with explosives as the 4 DICE PLEASE

[tame cobalt]

Dat bf1 hud lookin kinda clean doe

[vale wadi]

I WANT TO THROW MY QUADS AT HELIS AGAIN

[graceful robin]

Yeh the trailer showed a bunch more attachments

[white loom]

2042 explosions are pretty cool. Maybe a tad bit longer with smoke and the fireball tho

[sturdy flame]

great!

[high fractal]

Very clean, I prefer that much more

[vale wadi]

No I'm talking about the impulse that makes assets go flying like vehicles and building parts

[sturdy flame]

i need to watch the trailer again

[valid merlin]

They don’t leave as big of a hole as bf4

[crimson saffron]

do they have any more betas planned?

[white loom]

Ah

[valid merlin]

No lol

[lucid goblet]

not currently as it's only 4 weeks until release day.

[white loom]

Btw did anyone notice how those parked cars seemed to be filled with TNT? Like I hit some guy with a rpg and got their jeep to half health. They start driving away only to violently explode by crashing into a parked car.

[crimson saffron]

maybe one more to stress test the servers?

[eternal valley]

nuke

[graceful robin]

Them damn electric car batteries

[warped island]

Or to give us more free time

[rose fiber]

lol

[lucid goblet]

I highly doubt they will at this stage, as they are finalising the release build so all focus is on that.

[white loom]

Imo they should delay then have more tests

[lucid goblet]

lol wut??

[tranquil kettle]

literally 1984!!!!!!!

[white loom]

1984

[fallow osprey]

@lucid goblet will they implement stuff like fortifications and the realistic animations that were in bf5?

[lucid goblet]

I have no idea.

[tender folio]

likely ... no

[white loom]

I miss leaning 🗿

[lucid goblet]

Ok sure

[rose fiber]

Lmfao

[cunning steppe]

Bro wtf

[lucid goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/the-dark-knight-the-joker-heath-ledger-cool-story-bro-clap-gif-3582211

[tender folio]

it's "internet" time.

[white loom]

Mfer going to court over 100$

[fallow osprey]

I have fhe same feeling.. but why?

[rose fiber]

Honestly, even if he offered you mod for 100$, you can't give someone role as high as yours

[high fractal]

Knew he was a troll lol

[tender folio]

wrong reply

[tame cobalt]

Lay off the copium bro, we're not getting another beta

[white loom]

I think they neeeed a delay

Cyberpunk never had large scale stress tests and never got good feedback

They delayed but they delayed without the most common issues in mind

[vale wadi]

I mean irl if ur engine is hit by a mf rocket and u crash ur already unstable car into something I think it explodes

[graceful robin]

Played cp2077 on launch it was great for me but I realize I was lucky

[white loom]

Maybe you also had a beefy boy pc cuz anyone on console had pretty bad times

[crimson saffron]

well fingers crossed the full version runs better than.

[white loom]

Ikr

[vale wadi]

Yep

[echo yew]

i think we're more likely to get a delay announcement than another beta omegalul

[rose fiber]

I still hope for the info on battlepasses before deciding on standard or gold edition

[fallow osprey]

I somewhere hope they delay it

[white loom]

They need more beta tests and a delay

[civic mason]

Yo, so a Dice dev confirmed that player visibility is being worked on, apparently the idea is to have colored lights on all the soldiers to differentiate what team they're on

[white loom]

A actually have a beta with the most current version

[mortal tide]

info on HZ and the other specialists would be nice too

[white loom]

Who thinks the whole “beta is 2 months old” is basically damage control

[graceful robin]

I’m baffled that we still know nothing abt hz

[fallow osprey]

And give away positions... hopefully its for team m8sonly

[tender folio]

maybe depend on their received data from beta. whether people like it or not. It's business after all. Number for potential $$$ > random people's opinion like us. ... btw, I don't know about actual data tho.

[civic mason]

Which... I don't mind as a fix, actually

[crimson saffron]

just saying the Back 4 Blood beta ran smooth as hell

[vale wadi]

I just hope it's not tbh

[mortal tide]

yea same

[graceful robin]

Very different games

[kind hedge]

There is a news report that went out just now on gamerintel

[fallow osprey]

https://youtu.be/lJPzl8U5UDc

[civic mason]

That's a good thing to give away position, ya know how hard it is to see dudes when a storm darkens everything?

[carmine mulch]

We’re supposed to be getting info on HZ before launch, no info on an actual date yet though

[white loom]

On one side there are shills who simp hard for the game a d the others are basically reddit. We need more in betweens. Just like in American politics

[mortal tide]

lets hope

[high fractal]

It could be but only way to tell for sure is when we see the whole game at launch. Just one more month

[crimson saffron]

still night and day between level of performance between the 2.

[tender folio]

yeah, I've seen that. sadly, they are gone. I want many of them back. but I feel like they won't.

[civic mason]

I mean I'm in between, beta was fun but there's alotta shit that needs work

[fallow osprey]

If they cant even implement revive animations....

[white loom]

Yeah I had fun but could have had a loot more fun if it got more cooking time

[fallow osprey]

The care about the game is far sought

[civic mason]

I actually like the specialists, the only gripe I have is visibility with em, as in it was hard to tell who was hostile or not

[tender folio]

yeah, big UX problem here

[crimson saffron]

who ever thought having revive and weapon pick up on the same key needs the boot

[mortal tide]

I was really annoyed by that

[civic mason]

Yeah alot bugs in the beta, although they have apparently been fixed, so that's something we'll have to see

[graceful robin]

Visibility was great just couldn’t who couldn’t tell who was an enemy

[wise zodiac]

👀

[white loom]

I mean I had more performance issues than bugs but a lot of the bugs while not gamebreaking were of the wtf is happening category

[rose fiber]

Btw if I preorder on Steam refund policy stays that I can refund it within 2 weeks after release right?

[graceful robin]

Same

[civic mason]

That's what I meant

[mortal tide]

some of them pretty funny too

[dire pecan]

2042 was missing leaning, supine proning, rolling, destruction (at least in the map we had for the beta), first person takedowns, animations (esp for getting into and out of vehicles), shooting grenades out of the sky...

[white loom]

I had a bug where my cursor controlled the reticle meaning I couldn’t look up or down

[fallow osprey]

https://youtu.be/lJPzl8U5UDc

[graceful robin]

That’s more of a ux/model problem

[errant rover]

@rose fiberyes, but there is a second condition for refunds that talks about how much time you can play until you no longer qualify for a refund

[white loom]

Caused I assume by bugging out on a helicopter

[errant rover]

I think it's usually 2 hours

[rose fiber]

I think it's 2h

[fallow osprey]

Video covers al if this isnt on the road map 100% refund....

[civic mason]

So, vehicle animation was confirmed to not comeback, that's a good thing because that was annoying as shit and got you killed 90% of the time.

[high fractal]

They said animations for vehicles is a a gameplay choice. They didn’t want it to take too long, so they gave you a short third person camera view

Yea leaning missing was wierd as well.

[fallow osprey]

Instead you get nice teleports.

[civic mason]

As for the other stuff, that's up in the air

[white loom]

They could have kept first person takedowns

[tender folio]

please no animation for getting in and out vehicles. it's annoying. I can't do car bomb jeep.

[graceful robin]

Honestly thought the roll thing just got in the way

[civic mason]

I didn't even know BF5 had combat rolling

[high fractal]

Yea I prefer first person takedowns, seems like they try to copy cod

[rose fiber]

I only asked about refund in case I preorder gold edition but will have to refund it for standard in case battlepass doesn't fit me

[errant rover]

https://www.gameinformer.com/e3-2021/2021/06/09/battlefield-2042-battle-pass-explained-free-vs-premium
check this out if you haven't, maybe it'll help

[civic mason]

Eh, I don't think it's that much of an impact personally, a take down is a takedown, they don't happen that frequently so imo it doesn't matter if it's "immersion breaking" or not

[fallow osprey]

Things add up. Its not just 1 thing.

[tame cobalt]

did yall see what f8rge said

[high fractal]

What?

[graceful robin]

Who?

[tender folio]

who?

[civic mason]

Well its still just a video game, immersion isn't too big for me

[tame cobalt]

dice looks at EVERYTHING we say about the game 👁️

[tame cobalt]

bf producer

[civic mason]

[cunning steppe]

Let them just finish the game and hope for the best

[graceful robin]

DICE ADD CATBOYS

[high fractal]

Yea haha, they will know what most people are talking about

[tender folio]

oh okay. I'll take a look

[civic mason]

Yeah, specialists are here to stay, so, Rip to those peeps that hate em

[crimson saffron]

any of the BC2 characters gonna be added as a specialist?

[mortal tide]

Not confirmed, nor did I play BC2, but that would be pretty dope

[tame cobalt]

yeah, and i mean like... they track it alllllllll over the web

[high fractal]

Yea there for sure here to stay, if you don’t like it tbh, you can play the same game in portal with bf3 character models. But idk if that will satisfy people

[rose fiber]

Ty but I'm mainly looking for info if battlepasses are gonna be fast or long to progress and if you can still get battlepass rewards from previous season if you didn't finish it. If I see that I won't be able to keep up with completing battlepasses there's no point to go for gold edition for me.

[civic mason]

I guarantee you BPs are gonna be a slog

[lime bay]

There’s gonna be battlepasses?

[high fractal]

Word. A dice dev was in discord and he responded to one of my concerns two days ago. There everywhere

[civic mason]

And won't carry over to the next season, this is EA, they want to keep as much of your attention and time as possible.

[austere charm]

What happened to Recker post BF4 tho 🤔

[rose fiber]

Yeah, they said there's gonna be free batllepass with content and paid battlepass for cosmetics

[civic mason]

Hopefully dice are willing to really work with the community to make this game the best it can be

Which is also why it's important to be respectful with feedback

[graceful robin]

We can only hope

[lime bay]

Why does every single game have battlepass nowadays

[rose fiber]

Welp

[tame cobalt]

free tier will also have some cosmetics

Prolly not much tho

[rose fiber]

Cuz money, tho I mainly hate them for putting pressure on you to play the game and pump those hours in before season ends

[rose fiber]

Gotta have everything :P

[white loom]

I feel like EA/dice are really bad at marketing 2042 rn. They were almost radio silent till the beta dropped and it seems like we now rely on individual devs to give us any feedback

[rose fiber]

Unless they're gonna be bad

[lucid goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-hanks-just-wait-gif-8524221

[cunning steppe]

I have respect for the Devs

[high fractal]

It’s cuz their competitors are making so much money off the system and it’s a trend right now in the industry.

[fallow osprey]

Its ussually not the devs...

[white loom]

We all do. Hopefully

[civic mason]

Imo, I would just get the standard edition, none of the extra stuff is worth the money, screw that.

Honestly I would hold off from pre-ordering at all, and just wait to buy the game at launch, or even a little bit after so to see if the game it worth it, but I mean, it's your money

[fallow osprey]

Its the managers investors etc... thst make life sour. But with good reason i think

[white loom]

Maybe a couple dumbasses who think individual devs are the root cause to all their issues in a game

[lime bay]

I wont be surprised if by season 2-3 they will introduce literal fortnite skins

[white loom]

Battlepass 3: now introducing: THE LLAMA SKIN!!!!

[tight abyss]

Tbf DICE's marketing team was airdropped into the Bermuda Triangle after BFV

[pseudo coral]

typically silence is intentional

[high fractal]

I don’t think they would go that far, that would piss off a lot of fans

[naive trellis]

Development is a road with ups and down. Enjoying the road ahead is the key to staying happy, much love to all of ya'!

[lime bay]

Not to be irrelevant but cod did that

[rose fiber]

If BF adds skins that don't belong on BF I'm going to Portal forever

[civic mason]

[carmine mulch]

Hmm yes terrible marketing

[tight abyss]

new yorkus

[white loom]

I mean like info. However seeing that is pretty damn cool ngl

[fresh coral]

Hey babes and daddies😏

[tight abyss]

[fallen field]

Hi

[graceful robin]

Shalom

[sullen inlet]

Since amouranth is banned now, will you sub to me?

[high fractal]

Cod always had wacky skins though since 2012

[fresh coral]

No daddy

[tight abyss]

COD was cringe for awhile

[lime bay]

True

[tame cobalt]

"was"

[tight abyss]

is*

[high fractal]

I live in New York. Those cost millions of dollars to put in place.

[cunning steppe]

Ngl some Cold War Skins are Firee

[fresh coral]

I live in Toronto is better than Ny😏

[austere charm]

The Gold and Ultimate editions both include the first season pass and a few unique skins, that's it as far as I know. Gold has three skins, Ultimate has six J think.

[lime bay]

Only the stone basic skin, thats it

[white loom]

When I play mw I always use the mil sim skins

[tight abyss]

How long do NY billboard ads stay up before it switches to another

[white loom]

Depends on how much they are willing to pay prob

[naive trellis]

Let's be kinder and enjoy games for what they are, games. No need to hate on other franchises for the sake of it.

[upbeat swallow]

they won't pay a shit ton if it won't release on nov 14

[tame cobalt]

The gold and ultimate skins for 2042 look pretty good

[fresh coral]

Oof my bad babes 🤪

[upbeat swallow]

I've enjoyed both COD and BF, depends on the game tho

[white loom]

Cod has issues tbh but hating a game cuz we like another is very petty. So I agree with you

[lime bay]

Same

[tame cobalt]

The fact that people aren't even sure which specialists some of them are for proves skins will solve the "clones" issue... Depending on how many people just use default skins

[lament plank]

Game needs a second beta with the new build before launch

[limber garden]

Does this mean a delay? 😄

[white loom]

I am gonna run Espinosa and toss a better gasmask with actually head covering on him.

[cunning steppe]

Don't spoil stuff before launch we want a fresh experience

[naive trellis]

I don't see how it can be interpreted as such.

[limber garden]

Ups and downs. Just joking Edit: or phishing for info

[sullen inlet]

The game will release in november no matter how bad or good it is.

Every BF launch is buggy af but theres nothing else to play so idc

[lime bay]

Should i buy it or not?

[stiff pollen]

Wait I have to actually have consequences for my actions?

[white loom]

Wait till near launch

[limber garden]

I don't care it is awesome

[lime bay]

I didnt mean now, i meant in general

[white loom]

Wait till pre orders start getting early access to see if you should bug the game

[pseudo coral]

so battle pass???

[white loom]

He looks like a chef ngl

[graceful robin]

Pre order bonus

[sullen inlet]

Ultimate edition skin 🥱

[lime bay]

Me every time i have to go outside for whatever reason

[frail stratus]

just me or was ranger kinda useless

[vocal tusk]

He looks like he works in a slaughter house IMO

[white loom]

Never used him

[white loom]

Ye. Looks like a futuristic butcher

[cunning steppe]

I want to play on the ice map

[tame cobalt]

It's a poncho

[frail stratus]

felt like it would get slapped in a couple of minutes. I used it a couple of times and did not get a single kill with it

[zenith heron]

ranger a bit useless, but also reminds me too much of fallout

[dire pecan]

One thing I never understood about Dice games is why they feel the need to re-invent the wheel with every game. Why fix what isn't broken

[white loom]

I wanna play on that giant wall map

[cunning steppe]

Too bro

[frail stratus]

I rather have different game mechanics etc... in every game than be like CoD with basically the same formula every release

[zenith heron]

@dire pecanI don't think many would have complained if it was basically BFV but modern

[vocal tusk]

Do you get annoyed when the COD franchise releases the same or similar games year after year. If the answer is yes...a bit..then that is why

[zenith heron]

I stand corrected lol

[stiff pollen]

Ah so changing things for the sake of change

[tame cobalt]

Keeps it fresh and interesting. I appreciate it

[stiff pollen]

I too change my laugh every 6 months because I hate the old one

[cunning steppe]

The Giant wall map is Called Discarded

[frail stratus]

also they cant do much just going "modern" they already made 3 games that were modern basically so they had to go near future as they have not done a near future game yet

[tame cobalt]

No

[zenith heron]

in the near future, smoke grenades do not exist

[stiff pollen]

2022 is already too futuristic I want to go back to 2003

[cunning steppe]

Yes

[tame cobalt]

The wall map is called Renewal, the shipwreck map is called Discarded

[white loom]

Instead of keeping the game exactly the same as the old with zero changes except theme, setting etc. they need to take the most liked and popular parts of each previous game and add new mechanics. For example just cause 3 improved on just cause 2’s grapple hook and just cause 4 improved the grapple hook even more

[cunning steppe]

Fine lol

[pseudo coral]

some new mechanics i like, some i really don't like, battlefield is usually a 2-3 year life cycle but they end up having only enough content for a year, so many bf4 items were dlc from premium or through campaign challenges, that is completely unnecessary. hopefully they ditch premium altogether and go battle pass, unless that has already happened with bfv, i never played it

[oblique finch]

I wonder if I can play battlefield on my fold 3

[pseudo coral]

maybe heroes

[oblique finch]

battlefield heroes was so much fun

[dire pecan]

I'm referring to specific mechanics and design choices as opposed to copy-pasting an entire game

[white loom]

Hourglass is the one in Quatar

[tame cobalt]

Bring back battlefield heroes and make it a fortnite expansion

[stiff pollen]

Like that time IW removed the mini map for no reason and everybody unanimously agreed to bring it back

[pseudo coral]

honestly when are we gonna get a remastered battlefield play4free

[oblique finch]

battlefield mobile

[pseudo coral]

with the way f2p games are remaster battlefield play4free and add a battle pass, hell make a mobile port, instant profit. should i be a dev?

[fair rain]

I think I'm gonna cancel my preorder, Halo infinite looks like it will be the most polished FPS this year. Dice took out everything that makes battlefield, well battlefield. Specialist are fucking stupid and you can't change my mind. What a disaster

[pseudo coral]

remember bad company 2 mobile?

[oblique finch]

Bye, have a great time

[harsh furnace]

How do u see on mobiles they so small just get pc same price

[graceful robin]

Then don’t tell us lol

[oblique finch]

I have both

[white loom]

Halo infinite is free

[broken sparrow]

Fuck target, sum fuckin hoes

[upper wadi]

i just preordered ult ed bf2042 and found some review on youtube and might wanna ask for a refund, before that i want to ask you guys, do you guys think this game would be a lot better at launch or nah?

[pseudo coral]

i don't think announcing your departure will make anyone care, i agree with you but nobody wants to hear negative opinions on the game here from my own experience, and then a dev chats and gets a shit ton of upvotes like they're jesus christ

[stiff pollen]

No, battlefield always launches bad

[high fractal]

Lmaoo true

[tame cobalt]

So is hazard zone

[harsh furnace]

Halo infinite more like shitfinite

[white loom]

Is it?

[stiff pollen]

Just be like me and buy it anyways bevause you have nothing better to do

[pseudo coral]

no, battlefield always has awful launches, but in terms of the longevity of the game, i would still say no

[broken sparrow]

Lol chill

[tame cobalt]

People are gonna feel scammed if f2p hazard zone has every 2042 map

[harsh furnace]

Yes

[white loom]

Bruh halo infinite seems fairly polished

[fair rain]

This is the open beta chat, and I'm letting yall know that is huffing copium that it freaking sucked. Better than cod Vanguard beta, but overall this isn't battlefield anymore

[tame cobalt]

Very very likely

[harsh furnace]

They already confirmed it that it’s free

[white loom]

Where

[pseudo coral]

no doubt about it, it is still better than cod vanguard, but a disappointing battlefield. honestly if this game was called call of duty and we just previewed ground war, holy shit would we be so happy with the new cod

[oblique finch]

can we get tactical crocs in bf2042

[high fractal]

What about portal?, I understand where u coming from though

[fair rain]

I knew specialists would be jank and scuffed to shit

[stiff pollen]

Time to say opinions nobody wanted to hear in the first place

[upper wadi]

is it? but the bf4 is the legend now as i might have heard, is bf2042 will be better maybe in couple of months?

[white loom]

You can make portal games for free but can’t play them

[stiff pollen]

Yes it will be almost 100%

[tame cobalt]

They said in a investor call or something that it will have "free to anchor elements"... Aka a portion of the game will be f2p

[harsh furnace]

? What

[craggy marten]

Imagine if they add more players depending on the maps in 2042,

This beta felt kind of empty at times, and for a medium sized map I worry the BIGGER maps will feel even emptier

[high fractal]

Wdym?

[upper wadi]

all right ill wait for launch then, thx
edit : since i got nothing else to do

[harsh furnace]

Def didn’t feel empty

[lunar python]

Battlefield 1 would like to have a word

[oblique finch]

empty? I sometimes wonder if we all played a different beta

[stiff pollen]

You could preorder still and then get a refund day of launch 🤷‍♂️

[craggy marten]

At times.

[high fractal]

Someone can make a portal server with no specialists on orbital map and you can just hop on

[pseudo coral]

ultimately this is a marketplace of ideas and we should be open to share our negative opinions as well as the positives, otherwise we're just blindly following a title

[tame cobalt]

what system u on

[harsh furnace]

Back then betas were like demos now the meta has changed people put old builds in beta

[oblique finch]

pc wrong tag (woeps)

[stiff pollen]

Don’t care didn’t ask

[white loom]

You can set up configurations for a portal gamemode (im gonna use infection) so you can modify the game to your preference without buying the game. However you can’t play what you made till you buy it

[fair rain]

Why should a medic be able to use a sniper rifle, it makes no sense. Get rid of this hero shooter bullshit and put in the classic 4 classes that have distinct visual variety between them on every map and faction. Not these 4 goofy ass faces that you see on both the ENEMY and FRIENDLY team. Mackay looks like some highschool nerd with his goofy ass smirk

[pseudo coral]

🆗

[oblique finch]

imma on pc

[high fractal]

No shiit, of course you have to buy it lol

[harsh furnace]

Cause it’s 2042 man shit is advanced it doesn’t make sense to limit weaponry

[white loom]

Yeah I know. But you can set up the game without buying it.

[pseudo coral]

lol i figured ea would be too cheap to let us refund

[arctic grove]

Agree BF4 had a bad launch and everything and look at it now. it has more servers still up than the other bf games and BF1 is a great game.

[stiff pollen]

Use steam or origin

[high fractal]

Oh ok

[proud glen]

is it possible to have custom matches with friends in 2042? or any other bf? like other games like csgo and valorant just you and your friends

[tame cobalt]

yeah It didn't feel empty you just need a server filled with humans, and don't just walk long distances, that's not how it's designed to be played

[errant rover]

it will be yes

[stiff pollen]

Either has good first day refund policies

[naive trellis]

Certainly! Feel free to voice any opinion, regardless of it being negative or positive, as long as it's done in a polite manner, and aditionally I'd suggest doing so in the feedback section, if it's 2042 beta related.

[proud glen]

is that what portal is?

[white loom]

I wanted to find ai cuz I like slaughtering hordes of soldiers

And I am not sweaty enough to pull that off against real players

[stiff pollen]

Steam let’s you refund no questions asked as long as within first 14 days and less than 2 hours played.
Origin let’s you refund within first 24 hours of first install I believe.

[harsh furnace]

I already filled the feedback you guys send in email ❤️

[graceful robin]

I heard there’s a survey is that true?

[harsh furnace]

Yes check email

[naive trellis]

Not sure about how that gets distributed, sorry.

[high fractal]

Where’s the survey, I would love to share constructive feedback

[harsh furnace]

Email

[arctic grove]

I like the beta

[white loom]

Question: has optimization been improved/being worked on? I heard the game was nigh unplayable on last gen

[naive trellis]

You can do so here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Feedback/bd-p/battlefield-2042-beta-feedback-en

[mortal tide]

thanks

[fair rain]

Also anyone else feel like the matches was still 32vs32? I never felt the extent of "128 players!"(playing on PC btw) Felt the same as all past battlefields in player density, but probably cause the maps are bigger than warzone

[high fractal]

Thank you 🙂

[short trail]

I would assume the email takes a few days to hand out considering the amount of players in the beta

[tame cobalt]

yes dude, it's a guaranteed yes

[naive trellis]

There's no harm in trying, is there?

[harsh furnace]

I got mine today

[arctic grove]

Is it true that the beta build is old?

[stiff pollen]

No

[harsh furnace]

Yes

[tame cobalt]

Kinda

[pseudo coral]

i never really felt it either, but the map was insanely large and there are also bots added in as well, idk where it will be at by launch and at that point we'll find a wide array of maps and modes, ultimately there's always one map you don't really like to play in any game, so it's best to wait and see full critiques

[fair rain]

Either game launches in disaster or they do the ultimate Chad move and delay the game for 6 months that it desperately needs. Guarantee the devs know the game is low-key scuffed rn and need waaay more time

[white loom]

Also are you allowed to give us any idea about when we might see hazard zone info

[arctic grove]

It looks like an updated version of the closed alpha

[stiff pollen]

It was

[short trail]

Thats great, from my work when sending mails to all customers (about 870k) we spend about 3 days doing so. I believe EA have more servers then us but they also have more users. I would expect them all to be sent out over a 2-3 days period

[naive trellis]

All I can safely say, is wait.

[white loom]

Ight

[tame cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-hanks-just-wait-gif-8524221

[harsh furnace]

I’m guessing beginning of nov they will release trailer for hazard zone 👀

[pseudo coral]

what is hazard zone?

[mortal tide]

no one knows yet

[harsh furnace]

Squad based mode

[warm horizon]

Hey guys whats the meta

[plush jungle]

Prob a battle Royale

[stiff pollen]

Use M5A3 and Mackay

[harsh furnace]

No br

[tame cobalt]

squad based PvPvE extraction mode akin to division dark zone, escape from tarkov, and hunt showdown

[arctic grove]

I wouldn't be surprised if battlefield 2042 delayed to 2022

[graceful robin]

Haven’t got a email about the survey weird

[harsh furnace]

Yes

[pseudo coral]

sounds like warzone 👀

[warm horizon]

I would be thankful

[fair rain]

Berate me all you want, that's just your copium triggering. I love battlefield, but this one doesn't feel like it's it. Specialists was the worst thing they could do to this franchise. It's 64vs 64 not 6 vs 6. Keep specialist in hazard zone and have large scale conquest be the classic 4 class nameless soldier system that all past battlefields had

[mortal tide]

honestly yea

[arctic grove]

Me to

[harsh furnace]

On EA website they have said it’s a new mode never seen before 👀

[warm horizon]

I dont think they can fix all of the problems in a month. Or maybe the released version has all of them fixed

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 2042 needs little more time

[sullen inlet]

Idc how buggy BF launches, i just need it to release to finally play some new gane XD

[zenith heron]

how are they planning on monetizing specialists? will people be buying specialists who have unique abilities?

[loud bough]

The open beta was an old build

[graceful robin]

There free

[tame cobalt]

cosmetics

[stiff pollen]

No specialists re free they’re selling skins

[harsh furnace]

Yes

[high fractal]

Ok ur feedback was alright untill u said 6v6. Like where is the game 6v6 lol

[zenith heron]

ahhhh ok, i figured they would find some way to bring $$$ into it

[harsh furnace]

Yes like Csgo skins

[tepid canopy]

So uh, what is battlefield portal?

[tame cobalt]

overwatch reference

[dire pecan]

They can't fix all the problems in a month. If they stick to the latest release date, these issues will be resolved months or perhaps even years down the line, if at all.

[high fractal]

Haha

[harsh furnace]

Watch the trailer

[fair rain]

Cause from the beta standpoint, having specialists not be faction locked and everyone running around as Mackay with zero camo change for what faction you are on was an absolute cluster fuck. I even called it months ago before the beta

[arctic grove]

If battlefield 2042 delayed I'll still play insurgency sandstorm till it ready for launch

[harsh furnace]

They already fixed most

[vocal tusk]

Congrats. Here is a trophy 🏆

[loud bough]

It was an old build.

[lunar python]

Yea I agree with this. It is really an immersion ruiner

[unkempt coral]

Insurgency is great

[pseudo coral]

ultimately we're pretty lucky. i would prefer specialists to go away but keep the abilities to the class based system, but it's nothing like a charge up ultimate op weapon, it's a recon drone and some sentry turrets n shit, pretty basic stuff that doesn't sway the entire game. there's some good things coming out of it, but ultimately it will make $$$$$$

[harsh furnace]

But that’s good it gives us free will to choose anything and it’s 2042 in future there are no limits

[fair rain]

And I meant 6vs6 as like cod, specialists work there, not in battlefield massive battles. This isn't a goddamn hero shooter like apex legends. This is battlefield

[dire pecan]

Nah, they haven't or couldn't possibly have fixed the specialist system only a few days after the beta ended. You can keep saying "old build" or "its all fixed" but it won't change the reality

[high fractal]

There will be skin unlocks at launch through progression so you can tell everyone apart more easier. But I also agree specialists is wierd for a battlefield game since we always had the OG class system

[dire pecan]

Ah, so the specialist system was part of an old build? Can you provide any proof of this?

[loud bough]

Yea

[arctic grove]

That game is intense and fun lol especially game chat

[vocal tusk]

Specialists arent going away, its time for people to just deal with it.

[tight abyss]

Specialists would work as some sort of elite system like BF2? idk lol they are just so wacky

[harsh furnace]

You mentioned most things not specialists so obv specialist can’t be fixed so fast but other bugs are already fixed since beta

[tame cobalt]

This is indeed battlefield

[fair rain]

I'll deal with it with my wallet, steam refund here I come for my $120 back

[tepid canopy]

Specialists are basically the class system from other BFs.

[dire pecan]

So you agree you have no proof as I had thought. Thank you for your humility. More people should be like you on the internet

[unkempt coral]

If the company makes money, great. That means more money to throw at further development of the game

I don't care for cosmetics, so if people want to pay for them, that's their choice lol

I like the specialists idea, even if it is a change

[vocal tusk]

As is your right. Well done. 👌

[tame cobalt]

till you come back for portal

[loud bough]

Specialists will be the same.

[short trail]

[dire pecan]

Nah, the entire specialist system is a whole bunch of things in one larger category. You can't apply the same weight to a single bug as you would to an entire gameplay design choice

[harsh furnace]

Yes only paying for cosmetics fine dice needs to earn money

[fair rain]

I'll be back when the game is 50% off a month after release

[cunning steppe]

Cap

[arctic grove]

Insurgency sandstorm game chat especially when you can hear enemy comms is genius by NWI

[fair rain]

I remember buying bfv full price at launch for it to go on a massive sale literally a month or so later

[vocal tusk]

Til they come back when all specialists are announced, and they realize they basically get classes from old games through a combo of specialist skills and secondary gadgets

[harsh furnace]

Bunch of what in what things ? Makes no sense clarify

[high fractal]

It’s a lot of fun!

[dire pecan]

Portal may very well be the thing that saves this game from being a critical failure. I can guarantee most people won't be recreating 2042 stuff on it but rather BF3 and BF4 modes

[tawny elk]

Battlefield Dies in Darkness

[harsh furnace]

True I bought it right away on console

[sullen inlet]

Each week should reveal 2 of the missing operators, hazard zone reveal on oct 30th

[tepid canopy]

Cool bro.

[pseudo coral]

meh, they won't throw more money into development, it just goes into their pockets.

i would prefer no specialists and bring back normal characters with the loud and often funny voice lines, and a mix and match cosmetic setup from head to toe with outfit camos would be sick, but operators with battle pass skins is what sells rn. the game has been heavily influenced by warzone and it shows, but shit i'm sure it'll pay em big

[vocal tusk]

This happens with literally every game outside of Nintendos ecosystem

[harsh furnace]

Hopefully by end of oct or early nov

[fair rain]

Well 1 month to go and we don't know 1/3rd of the game and half the specialists, I don't have much hope in devs anymore

[arctic grove]

O yeah I just brought it and put in 10 hours

[tawny elk]

"Too busy playing Jedi Fallen Order"

[tame cobalt]

And acti-blizz

[unkempt coral]

man, it's almost like they want players to be surprised

[harsh furnace]

That’s how it should be a surprise

[tepid canopy]

Yeah I like Jedi fallen order, what you gonna do about it?

[pseudo coral]

but man in bf2042 it would be so cool to just not have special abilities, and instead have class based system and then be able to play with whatever character you want. imagine bringing an irish skin in and using old voice lines, pac, shit campo, dima, all that stuff. that's what call of duty does, they bring in woods, price, etc. and it works

[fair rain]

Feel like this game is supposed to release in 2022, but EA suits are pushing for holiday release for that 🤑 💸 💰

[harsh furnace]

Devs keep people in suprise when they are still working on it or are they confident it will work

[uncut pier]

feel like people are over exaggerating the specialist, I don't mind them at all and add a hint of spice to a players individual playstyle. The one gadget slot is what's frustrating to me, I like having versatility to my kit and that feels stripped when I only have one gadget that I MIGHT need from time to time.

[sullen inlet]

Money talks

[pseudo coral]

i'm missing the rocket launcher and repair tool big time

[unkempt coral]

Agreed

[high fractal]

Original class system, for example engineer specialized in anti vehicle and assault specialized in Healing mechanics. Isn’t that considered a specialist ?

[vocal tusk]

Feels like youre trying to bait people...which is not appreciated here

[sullen inlet]

Imagine EA didnt butcher Anthem

[arctic grove]

That's your opinion

[harsh furnace]

Well they did say they are ahead of schedule

[tame cobalt]

EA suits aren't pushing for holiday release, I am. Gib game now

[sullen inlet]

I SAID RIGHT NOW

[lunar python]

I mean I am somewhat fine with it till I kill McKay as McKay

[pseudo coral]

specialists mixed with the og class system i think is a good compromise. i used the ghillie recon guy but used an assault class, i liked being able to do that. i don't want to play falck, i don't want to have to play as a grandma

[tepid canopy]

At least BF2042 will be better than Vanguard

[cunning steppe]

Imagine Operation Metro 2042 Trailer

[cloud zodiac]

muh immersion!

[sullen inlet]

Imagine metro pathways filled with boris turrets

[pseudo coral]

metro with the 2042 movement would be hilariously awful

[vocal tusk]

Imagine the points from using caspers drone to disable them all

[lunar python]

Yea just play helicopters or planes! They are all ants to your glorious helicopter

[tame cobalt]

I've been saying they should combine metro and shanghai for a 128 player map

[high fractal]

That I can see. A lot of people don’t want to play as a grandma, dice should just revert her change why make her so old lol she was young before

[arctic grove]

My immersion is where Russia support from bf3

[sullen inlet]

Metro and seine crossing

[cunning steppe]

Or just bigger bf4 and bf3 maps

[vocal tusk]

The most up to date render shows her as being younger that what we saw in the beta

[dire pecan]

Sure, in the sense that they're specialists whose loadouts are restricted. That is not the case with the specialists in Battlefield 2042. They can choose almost any combination of equipment and weapons they want, which makes the whole system difficult to balance and destroys teamplay and squad synergy, unless you're specifically playing with a group of people

[high fractal]

Lmaoo like forreal

[limber garden]

After playing 2042 beta, bfv seems like shite, bf1 seems like shite, bf4 seems meh

[fair rain]

Difference is "Bob" had like 4 different visual varietions for each 4 classes so EVERY engineer wasn't the same Mackay goofy looking dude, and each faction had massive visual changes on-top of having variety skins for those said classes. The problem is for a 128 player match, you will see the same 32 faces for each class (that is if the whole server is divided by 4 into the 4 classes) but it will probably be like 80 Irish copy pastes vs 48 Mackay

[vocal tusk]

2

[high fractal]

Thank good to hear

[dire pecan]

In the entire time I played the beta, I was maybe revived only a handful of times and received maybe 2-3 ammo packs. There's no incentive to be a team player when everyone can use the best gadget, namely the grapple hook

[hot oak]

Anyone else down for faction-specific specialists?

[harsh furnace]

Maria 😍😍😍

[unkempt coral]

Yess

[dire pecan]

I feel like this could be a good compromise

[cloud zodiac]

grapple hook doesnt take up a gadget slot though

[limber garden]

Older def better

[fair rain]

Looks like my grandma

[pseudo coral]

problem is these maps are a bit too big

[harsh furnace]

Makes sense she’s older cause she’s a medic meaning she has experience healing

[hot oak]

Another problem is vehicle spawn system was broken. Couldn't mitigate travel time.

[dire pecan]

It effectively reduces the number of gadgets associated with the traditional classes you carry. For example, if you want to be a traditional engineer with a repair tool and a rocket loadout, that is now impossible

[fair rain]

Doesn't make sense considering most people on the battlefield are 18-30 years old

[cloud zodiac]

there will be much more revives when you dont pick up the weapons constantly trying to do so lol

[vocal tusk]

There is a specialist that can repair, they just arent announced yet (But were datamined)

[high fractal]

Well said on the team play part. I want to see dice balance the gadgets to encourage more team work and not everyone just go for the rocket launcher or c5. I did see some people go ammo or med crates. Will see how it goes.

[harsh furnace]

Wym she look she 25 that’s old

[unreal torrent]

[fair rain]

Bruh she looks 60 what are you on

[limber garden]

There will be more revives when you don't need to pick other class than medic due to weapon restrictions per class. How about that

[harsh furnace]

Lies she not that old u tripping she can be my wife

[vocal tusk]

Looks mid 40s in this image TBH

[tame cobalt]

She doesn't look 60

[tight abyss]

bro she does look 60

[pseudo coral]

i like the mix and match, but i think we need more than 4 characters. when you make 4 characters that all have a set skill, it becomes difficult. we could just have a lot of characters, with the 4 base ones, and then add more through whatever they do, battle pass or premium and what not, and allow us to decide what specialist tool we'd like to choose.

and i really think we would be better off having two basic characters like call of duty does. cod has special operators, but also a base character for each faction with some voice lines and basic cosmetics, it would go a long way imo

[fair rain]

Well white hair version is like 70 years old looking in the beta

[harsh furnace]

That’s just without makeup

[tame cobalt]

She's just gray early

[tight abyss]

she looks like my grandma

[short trail]

gamersupps and mountain dew? you?

[fair rain]

Water and hopium

[limber garden]

Your grandma is badass then

[vocal tusk]

Thats why we have 10 at launch...Irish and the 5 yet to be announced

[harsh furnace]

Maria my main 😍

[cloud zodiac]

theres 10 at launch and 1 more per season lol

[tame cobalt]

Sundance my main

[high fractal]

Yea she looks better

[harsh furnace]

Her too gotta see how she works

[tawny elk]

Battlefield Dies in Darkness

[hot oak]

Delay more and have another beta

[tame cobalt]

Mackay and sundance are the best because they're fun

[dire pecan]

That's fine, but it doesn't resolve the issue of there being no incentive or restriction to pick that character like there is with the class system

[stone veldt]

old ass woman probably got arthritis

[harsh furnace]

Yeah I ain’t saving you anymore as her

[lunar python]

They are fun it’s like the clone wars out there

[short trail]

nah, MTC is still admin, and Braddock is still at EA. we still got some of the oldies. they will save our asses

[tame cobalt]

Hmmm i didn't see any specialist like that from the datamines...

[vocal tusk]

Going as a tanker but want to also repair and fire rockets? Who are you gonna take? the guy who can repair vehicles and use a rocket launcher of course.

[harsh furnace]

From Twitter they leaked the sources

[pine terrace]

Sigh I miss battlefield 2042. who else misses it?

[tame cobalt]

Yes i saw all the leaked specialist abilities

[dire pecan]

Why should I pick a med kit or pick the medic specialist when everyone regens HP quickly?

[tribal wyvern]

the specialist system allows bigger playstyles, like an anti vehicle medic (falcke with a rocket launcher)

[short trail]

me

[harsh furnace]

Yes all very cool

[pseudo coral]

wait so my idea is actually what they're thinking of?

[tribal wyvern]

or a recon with a medic crate (casper with medic crate)

[limber garden]

Hey EA, can we get hazarzone info for crying out loud?

[tame cobalt]

But I didn't see one that repairs vehicles

[harsh furnace]

There’s an engineer specialist very cool

[tame cobalt]

Give it 2 weeks

[limber garden]

The suspense

[idle violet]

Portal will be within 2042 right?

[tribal wyvern]

yes

[high fractal]

There will be 10 specialist at launch

[pseudo coral]

and they're not all being revealed?

[idle violet]

Dope

[dire pecan]

Which honestly throws off the balance that was there for engineers in the previous battlefield games. I can go as a tanker, repair my vehicle, fire rockets, and use an AR or a sniper rifle. That's far too powerful

[tame cobalt]

The only engineers in launch are irish and boris. Maybe it was a dlc specialist i didn't see?

[vocal tusk]

Why would I take a rocket launcher, when another player is gonna kill that tank anyway?

[tribal wyvern]

i don't think you've played the beta lmao hp regen slow af

[vocal tusk]

So can the other guy you are fighting...perfect balance

[dire pecan]

Why indeed? Why not pick an AA rocket since the sky is covered with helis and jets?

[high fractal]

The other one they revealed was Irish with a deployable shield. So the other 5 haven’t been officially revealed yet

[arctic grove]

I want M16A4 and M4A1 in both battlefield 2042 and portal

[limber garden]

Stop crying about class, legacy class will be in portal LOL

[tribal wyvern]

because there's like a million others picking said aa rockets?

[vocal tusk]

Situational use...just like the specialists

[dire pecan]

Giving both teams the ability to pick unbalanced loadouts doesn't make it more balanced

[arctic grove]

M16A4 is a DMR with 3 burst best gun in the world 😎

[tribal wyvern]

don't see how opening more playstyles that have all their pros and cons make it unbalanced

[pseudo coral]

oh that's pretty cool, i am not really a fan of specialist abilities, and all those gadgets would be better as a mix and match between characters to build your own class, but it is what it is. at least there's more memorable characters

[dire pecan]

You don't see how a system that allows you to mix and match as you please instead of restricting your weapon and gadget loadout can introduce more avenues for gameplay imbalances?

The amount of copium is truly remarkable

[high fractal]

I think they made regen higher because of 128 player count. Your going to be taking a lot of direct and indirect fire.

[vocal tusk]

Everyone gonna be using the M5A3 anyway, perfect balance, as all things should be!

[hot oak]

If everyone is unbalanced then it is in fact balanced !p && !p == p => true The problem is the meta becomes very boring.

[pseudo coral]

idk, i know it's classic battlefield, but i never really liked having to play engineer just to get an smg

[distant barn]

I used every gun in the beta but I used that one last n popped off

[dire pecan]

Yeah, which makes the medic useless

[tame cobalt]

Meta slaves 🤢

Why restrict yourself to 1 gun when there are many fun guns

[harsh furnace]

True

[high fractal]

Yea Irish will be my main cus he was in bf4 campaign. But trust me I miss the old class system just as anyone else does but I’m fine with specialists if they do it right.

[lunar python]

Dude I wonder if you can do a hardcore mode in portal but with 2042 ops. Let the confusion set in. I really want to see that

[pseudo coral]

medic was already killed off by the long revive animation. not giving us the defib was a problem

[vocal tusk]

Medic is useless for teamplay ATM, this is true..the stim pistol needs a lot of work...or replacing with med packs she can throw/distribute

[arctic grove]

M5 DICE predict the future there's YouTube video of it imo it's like m16 with barrel and very light

[distant barn]

I don't even know where my shots were going half the time I was using the LMG lmao but that is true

[high fractal]

Her stim pistol needs a buff for sure.

[harsh furnace]

So u didn’t like bf 5 either den

[dire pecan]

If an AR can one-shot everyone and if everyone is using that AR, that does not make the AR somehow balanced

[glacial coral]

I hope there will be more attachments for guns

[tame cobalt]

I enjoyed the lmg, did decent with it

[harsh furnace]

It’s already op wym

[vocal tusk]

Na, cos a vector shreds it in CQC, DMR shreds it in long range

[harsh furnace]

There will be

[arctic grove]

M5A3 has good range it shoots 200m with ez

[distant barn]

In some cases I did great, but in other cases I had no clue why the other person killed me faster, most of them were using the M5a3

[dire pecan]

But you are correct in that it makes the meta boring @hot oak, since you can just pick the most optimal loadout

[sweet anvil]

i hope to, i hope you can customize which attachments you put in the plus system

[opal compass]

K30 pure love

[dire pecan]

I was making a general argument, not referring to any gun in 2042

[tame cobalt]

Yeah lmg has slow ttk in exchange for big magazine and low recoil

[vocal tusk]

"Most optimal", is situational

[pseudo coral]

i didn't make it past the beta, game was horrible

[hot oak]

The AR isn't balanced relative to other weapons but if everyone is using that weapon the game is technically balanced. We agree I'm just being picky with the logic.

[high fractal]

Idk a lot of people are complaining that medic is underpowered right now

[distant barn]

Yeah im dumb lmao, still had fun with the beta tho, it was fucking great af

[harsh furnace]

It’s 2042 defibs don’t make sense in that year

[dire pecan]

Anyway, the specialist system is bad, unbalanced, broken, and should be modified in such a way as to promote squad synergy like with the original class system

[arctic grove]

It's good at 100m range

[white geyser]

I want to customize the AA tank to have better weapon attachment and they better add different weaponry

[harsh furnace]

Nah def op you can drop 100 syringes around you and if you get injured just move around you get healed

[tame cobalt]

What platform?

[dire pecan]

No, we do not agree. The AR is not balanced in this hypothetical scenario because it is more powerful than every other gun in the game. The fact that everyone is using the gun does not make the AR more balanced

[arctic grove]

Lol what's point of c5

[harsh furnace]

Advanced c4🤣

[vocal tusk]

Defending B roof = AA rockets and Vector with boris for turrets watching your back

Defending C point against LATV4s/Tanks = M5A3 with Rockets/C5 as Maria for self heals/full revives

[sweet anvil]

hahahah

[high fractal]

Well if what your saying is true. Then she is fine haha.

[modern basin]

Boom boom POW

haha c5 go brrrrrrrrr

[harsh furnace]

Yeah I don’t think her syringes despawn but havnt tested that yet

[sullen inlet]

B1 gameplay was fun af

[arctic grove]

Lol Americans be the first with new weapons we got c5 I bet

[dire pecan]

Does Maria revive faster than every other specialist?

[main mango]

attaching them to Casper drones and role playing a tomahawk guided missle

[mossy solar]

that lmg was so godly, i used it to sniper, because that bolt sniper is whack(bad)

[arctic grove]

Lol NERF!!!!!!!!

[high fractal]

Bf3 m16a3, bf4 , Aek beg to differ

[vocal tusk]

Slightly and also revives to full health, and can revive everyone, not just their squad

[pseudo coral]

heard they are slowing down the movement in terms of sliding and jumping and all that, but this creates a problem when the maps are so big and it's already hard enough to find a battle

[distant barn]

I played the Beta on old gen (ps4) and played until like rank 10 or 11 and seen the rocket blow up, the rocket ofc go off to space, and a Tornado come in. The Tornado was great my entire team fucked with it n the enemy team took all our objectives n after the Tornado left we took what was rightfully ours lmao

[mossy solar]

id rather spider man with my sniper LMG

[dire pecan]

Not referring to any gun in any BF game. I was just giving a very general example

[pseudo coral]

i'm pretty sure i can do all of that that without maria falck

[vocal tusk]

Also a good option if you like tower defence 😛

[hot oak]

We're disagreeing on context then. The game has balance issues for sure and that we agree on. Specialists just don't work with their current implementation. Having the opportunity to choose whichever gun you want where one gun is clearly better than the rest makes things stale. Not knowing which specialists serves what purpose makes squad/team synergy basically non-existent.

[tame cobalt]

@shut sequoia

[mossy solar]

tower gets boring fast... but its a good point to hold for quick deployment for team

[peak basin]

It's not that the pistol needs a buff, natural healing needs a nerf.

[tame cobalt]

Poggggg

[shut sequoia]

[harsh furnace]

Damn I be spending too much time on discord time to go play bf

[high fractal]

There will always be meta guns in battlefield. It’s up to you to choose if you want to follow the meta or play something fun. I never follow meta

[hardy kestrel]

https://gamingintel.com/battlefield-2042s-troubled-development-and-identity-crisis/

[shell ermine]

Wrote a goddamn essay for that beta survey

[serene spire]

Bf5 was better

[earnest tinsel]

There is 100% some things that need to be changed but overall the beta was super fun

[mossy solar]

the only thing meta in battlefield is actual tactics and skill, guns matter less.. this aint cod bro

[tawny elk]

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

[vocal tusk]

There is meta in all games to be fair. Not just BF.

[tame cobalt]

The different gens having different flag layouts is gonna result in discussions about the game where people are talking about completely different things And don't even know it

[high fractal]

Yup every game has a meta

[mossy solar]

i disagree...

[dire pecan]

For sure. What made the engineer balanced given their traditionally higher firepower is the limited range of their guns (unless they were using a DMR, which every class could use). But now I can choose an AR or a sniper rifle and be well-equipped to deal with any scenario I encounter.

Its impossible to balance all the combinations of weapons and gadgets people can pick now

[vocal tusk]

Well...Crash Bandicoot 1 probably doesnt 😛

[tawny elk]

Best and most immersive Battlefield title in history as we know it.

[tame cobalt]

bf games the meta doesn't matter because it's very casual

[pseudo coral]

i can't imagine being this wrong

[sullen inlet]

BF3 was the best BF in existance
And thats a fact

[arctic grove]

Insurgency sandstorm I see meta is m4a1

[high fractal]

Yes there’s no ranked system, just play whatever is fun tbh

[vocal tusk]

What do you do if you find a squad of players on a roof and all you have is motion sensor grenades?

[tepid canopy]

BFV is a Good Game don’t get me wrong but it’s not the most immersive ever

[tawny elk]

Battlefield is not a Twitch streaming game.

[high fractal]

Yea haha

[arctic grove]

What lol

[hot oak]

BF4 made perfect sense to me. Each class gets a certain type of weapon but everyone gets carbine, dmr, and shotguns. I rarely used the same gun consecutively.

[arctic grove]

I stream battlefield lol

[dire pecan]

Just beat them to death with your motion sensor grenade obviously

[hot oak]

game is popular on twitch != a good game

[tame cobalt]

When i join a bf games after all the guns are already out i never know what to pick. I like starting from the beginning and getting a drip feed of new weapons

[sullen inlet]

I will do some montages and cinematics for BF2042. Already big plans in my head

[high fractal]

Insurgency is interesting because every gun 1 shots to head. Sometimes it felt 1 shot to body I’m not sure on that

[empty plank]

Portal is comeing with the game sooo yeah u going to have a lots of fun with it

[dire pecan]

Yeah, you still had a ton of weapon variety without the gunplay ever getting stale. I don't think I ever unlocked all the attachments for all the guns.

[arctic grove]

It's like 4 shots depending on body armour and yes 1 shot headshot

[arctic grove]

what constitutes a twitch streaming game lol

[shell ermine]

If they brought back a class system they'd immediately fix the terminal issue with 2042 and the rest of the problems could be dealt with over time

[modern basin]

What fucking gun are you using that is a 4 shot

[hot oak]

I was not even close. Shot myself in the foot playing on different platforms but there was always something different to try plus some different I'm getting killed by.

[pseudo dragon]

My battlefield beta experience was kinda bad

[modern basin]

Even with heavy armor it takes like 2-3 shots at most bruh

[vocal tusk]

You need to sweat at least 0.5l per game to make it a twitch friendly title

[mossy solar]

i like it the way it is

[pseudo dragon]

I had to many glitches

[tame cobalt]

Hazard zone is a twitch streaming game

[shell ermine]

Well, you're wrong

[pseudo dragon]

And bugs

[mossy solar]

my only glitch got patched already, which was remapping issues

[high fractal]

Insurgency is such a good FPS. Underrated game

[sullen inlet]

Why is 2042 not a streaming game?

[hot oak]

any UI/UX designers want to shit on the UI?

[arctic grove]

well it is a beta so a lot of the graphical and performance stuff will be fixed by launch

[mossy solar]

your biased though

[tepid canopy]

TFW your opinion because false

[shell ermine]

Nope,it's not an opinion. It's fact

[vocal tusk]

Opinions are like a butthole...everyone has one, but not everyone wants to see yours!

[tame cobalt]

Yo it's square man from squid guy

[shell ermine]

The class system is a core tenet of Battlefield. It would be like if EA made FIFA 23 a rugby game or Madden 23 a water polo game.

[hot oak]

I'd take squid games guards over specialists

[tepid canopy]

All fax no printer

[pine roost]

I got my first hackusation today, does that mean I’m good XD

[shell ermine]

Sure it's still sports, but it's got nothing to do with the name on the tin

[slim quiver]

I have a question actually

[tame cobalt]

Congrats, you've made it

[tranquil kettle]

ngl squid games sucks

[main mango]

agreed

[mossy solar]

ok M in M

[pine roost]

I got accused of recoil hacks, I had the zk fast firerate mode and just got really lucky

[tame cobalt]

Pog

[tepid canopy]

Cool, I wonder what that has to do with battlefield but neat.

[tawny elk]

I'm not mad at anyone for liking the game, but do know that you are not getting the real and full Battlefield experience that all their previous titles have had. I don't think I will be buying this game anymore because it reminds me too much of COD.

[acoustic oar]

zk got recoil?

[slim quiver]

What do you guys want more: Battlefield innovating itself with every installment like the community usually talks about. Or do you want battlefield to recycle its style every edition like call of duty (The game you usually perceive as lazy for repeating its formula)

[pine roost]

Some of the worst in the game

[vocal tusk]

innovating itself with every installment

[tepid canopy]

More BFV

[stiff pollen]

I want them to not change shit that isn’t broken

[sullen inlet]

Stop with the opinions and childish remarks.
The following statement is a fact approved by the wildest metro players:

BF3 was the best BF in existance.

[acoustic oar]

does not feel like it tbh

[stone veldt]

eddie currents

[slim quiver]

well we could say that in the sense that they dont repeat features, they obviously remove features and change the style of gunplay and movement the past few titles

[pine roost]

The fast firerate upgrade makes it so much different to the base version, that’s why

[warm plaza]

i still feel like the removal of the class system and everyone being able to use every gun is going to have some balencing issues

[acoustic oar]

I play the fast fire rate version aswell

[main mango]

it needs to recycle the features that make it good and innovate all the problems, simple game making stuff you know

[pine roost]

Console?

[halcyon hatch]

Well the thing is that the community just wants a carbon copy of BF4 every game

[acoustic oar]

nope

[stiff pollen]

I actually want 4 million dollars

[vocal tusk]

BF1 and V felt so samey for me (I know they are different)..2042 feels like a breath of fresh air (To me)

[arctic grove]

I didn't know cutting down features means innovation

[high fractal]

Innovation but keep mechanics that don’t need to be fixed. Like leaning, UI, revive animations etc.

[slim quiver]

guns being removed maybe, but really what causes balancing issues is the maps because if the map is just an open area, obviously the AR thats built for every single range of engagement will be better overall than any other weapon that is meant for situational engagements

[tawny elk]

BF1 and BFV are very similar...makes no sense why they reinvented the wheel.

[pine roost]

Well you must be real good at it then. But tbh I find the worst part to be the horizontal recoil, I can’t correct it that quickly

[acoustic oar]

try out ads field of view on

[slim quiver]

movement and the gunplay was changed but BF1 and BFV were the most similar yes in comparison

[pine roost]

Got that

[mossy solar]

I glitched extra specialists in-game #screenshots-and-clips

[slim quiver]

features were changed, not necessarily cut down. Some were removed to compliment the style of the new flow

[tame cobalt]

zoop

[slim quiver]

Okay I can agree with this. I like this response the most

[acoustic oar]

or off I dont know just make it so if you scope in the world around the scope is not changing

[slim quiver]

heres what i didnt get

[pine roost]

Yeah that’s with it on

[vocal tusk]

Eh...can a mod like...delete this suspect file

#screenshots-and-clips message

[arctic grove]

How could the new flow affect the number of people in a squad?

[acoustic oar]

ok

[halcyon hatch]

Tbh it’s kinda hard to defend the beta since they gave us an older build and practically zero content in it to go with

[slim quiver]

the revive animation for 2042 in the beta at least was ridiculously slow compared to what BFV was like. BFV hands down had a very immersive revive while also being fast enough to not break the flow of gameplay

[acoustic oar]

well I played without it for a long time and the recoil went basically to 0 for me

[tame cobalt]

you’re our sacrifice. click it

guys

[main mango]

all of BFV animations were top tier, they did so many things right

[green pasture]

😩

[arctic grove]

i feel that bf2042 delayed to april/march

[slim quiver]

Battlefield 2 had 6 player squads if anyone remembers

[halcyon hatch]

Honestly I think they need to delay the game for like 3 more months, do a beta again later on a different (or more) maps with upgraded stuff accounting for requests from the community

[tame cobalt]

Make 64 player squads

[pseudo dragon]

Guys how much mbps do I need to play bf2042

[arctic grove]

the beta was dog shit

[arctic grove]

BFV was the first to drop it to 4, which was abysmal

even in BF4 we regularly run out of slots when playing here in public voice

[slim quiver]

yeah and sadly the game was memed to hell and it lost sales numbers for other reasons

[arctic grove]

more than 0 ofc

[fair pecan]

my favorite was bf 1

[main mango]

how many days early do the gold members get the game?

[arctic grove]

nah i think it’s going to be released on time but just really buggy for a few months like nearlyevery battlefield game ever

[vocal tusk]

*Remembers everyone hating BFV animations at launch...cos it sacrificed fun for style

[halcyon hatch]

I wouldn’t call it dogshit but it had a lot of problems, many of which I’m concerned won’t be fixed until after launch

[pine roost]

The beta was just a second technical playtest, for server stressing. There’s no other reason why it had so little content, bugs and was 4 months old. Right?

[slim quiver]

the problem I bet people scratch their heads about is : Why would the return to features to a game they said did not meet expectations? How can we really expect them to bring back mechanics from BFV when the game overall did not preform to the expectations of the community

[tawny elk]

Manifesting "Battlefield" delay until March 2023

[arctic grove]

nah this one is beyond buggi its broken kekw also why did these mfs show a newer build in the beta trailer then release the old one WTF dice

[hot oak]

BFV revive animation with defibs please

[halcyon hatch]

I think they simply just aren’t ready. Hence why they were so secretive in September

[acoustic oar]

bf "veterans" always hate on the new bf.... now even the infamous bfv is good again 🤣 this community is just so big if you do one thing alot of ppl will not like it for sure

[tame cobalt]

[vocal tusk]

"Dramatically below our expectations" EA investors call

[arctic grove]

yes this or am not buying srsly

[slim quiver]

Everything has a cause and effect

[white geyser]

BF 2042 better fix other parts I can’t explain, for example the tank rotation feels like in BF5 it was sluggish

[slim quiver]

yeah and this is where my next point comes in

[vocal tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/matrix-french-interview-goddamn-gif-17059908

[tawdry verge]

i want to give advices to developers are they care about it? because i am fucking play this game from my middleschool times...

[shadow summit]

2042 was the best beta out of all the other battlefield beta's

[tame cobalt]

I just wanna play conquest and breakthrough on all the 2042 maps plzzzzzz

[arctic grove]

you answered why it’s so buggy in your own sentence

[shadow summit]

why people call push breakthrought now?

[main mango]

breakthrough is better than conquest and no one will change my mind

[tame cobalt]

different mode

[slim quiver]

People bashed BFV. Only to find out that BFV actually had great gameplay it was just shut down by a ton of other flaws. Fast forward to now: All that bashing and low sales numbers is now being regretted because people are wishing we had that style of movement, gameplay etc now within a modern setting. But we cant expect them to drag that out of a game where the community memed on for 3 years calling it "its not a true battlefield game"

[shadow summit]

wdym, break through is the same as push no?

[quasi acorn]

Where are my hot takes

[tawdry verge]

where can i write down these advices?

[raw glacier]

when is last day to preorder

They tried to make tank rotation more realistic and they didn’t want the turret to do a whole 360 if you have really high sensitivity settings

[pseudo coral]

i don't miss anything about battlefield v

[tepid canopy]

You don’t.

[arctic grove]

here’s my cold take: battlefield is not a milsim

[high fractal]

Yessirr

[main mango]

that is because you are dense

[lunar python]

I love a lot of stuff from 2042, but one thing I dislike is fighting in the clone wars

[slim quiver]

yeah well thats just your opinion, just like the people that miss features from bfv is also their opinion

[quasi acorn]

Based

[tame cobalt]

It's another linear mode like rush, but it works better with large player numbers than rush. Rush works best with like 24 players

[hallow maple]

Battlefield is also not COD

[slim quiver]

honestly so true. Wish this thought would die 1000x deaths

[tawdry verge]

@tepid canopy but this game will blow up and collapse with ashes in a short of time... i love battlefield

[slim quiver]

battlefield will never be a milsim

[shadow summit]

there are no hot takes, its all iirelevant.. why? because what we experienced was from an old beta build that wasnt even a candidate for the official release version for 2042.

[arctic grove]

"Damn, they really didn't like the tone, locations and girls taking half the team in our latest game. We should probably remove half the moveset we've worked so hard on in the next one"

[pseudo coral]

so much of it was battlefield 1 inspired and reskinned, and yet it was worse. i miss things about bf1 and below, nothing about the trainwreck that v is

When you get messages from people on Xbox because you teabagged them as a girl, I don't think it's just a troll at that point

calling it now

[uncut pier]

just make male/female for everything b o o m

Also the chat log on BFV can be very anti-female

[arctic grove]

I'm pretty sure that is already confirmed?

[mortal inlet]

I wish it were like bfv, with the people like McKay and all them as elites, and have personal character customization

[slim quiver]

In a way it was. Being a girl in gaming can be annoying when I'd like to play as relatable characters even in multiplayer games. What if you played a battlefield game where you could only be girls for 16 years and the whole time you wanted to play as a male soldier

[vocal tusk]

May DICE continue to make games set in fictional timelines!

since you're a mod can you contact dice to request the addition of a shisha and motorcycle gun

Yeah but that thing is kinda easier to do and more likely

what is a motorcycle gun. You mean a machine gun on a motorcycle?
