battlefield-2042

[copper fulcrum]

YEAR OF EXCLUSIVITY FOR SURVIVAL

[indigo flame]

Nope.

[arctic grove]

They did lol Microsoft team up with EA last year

[median coral]

Also the best part is her beta default operator style is pretty much confirmed as the launch style since it doesn’t have not final art on it anymore

[sullen inlet]

somehow its bound together now, 150gigs

[bronze thorn]

Xbox isn't 2042's only official partner. They're partnered with nVIDIA too.

[soft turtle]

Sony Pony's are getting COD vanguard before XBOX though

[copper fulcrum]

Make sure you install an NVidia card for your Xbox

[austere furnace]

And BTW, specialists aren't only a gameplay choice. They fit perfectly in the context, the lore. You're solitary mercs with their own equipment

[fervent grotto]

Makes me sad

[brittle forge]

That last part is basically a non-sequiter, if we’re talking about how someone wants a game to be improved, “don’t play it” helps about as much as “whining” does

[split bone]

I just need a skirt skin and im happy

[soft turtle]

why?

[torpid shuttle]

That's sad. I can see 128 Boris spam 128 turrets in the same time.

[arctic grove]

Lol if battlefield 2042 survives this year I'd be surprised

[candid linden]

Bro she looked bette r like this so did McKay

[median coral]

Granny skirt skin

[arctic grove]

Let’s face it. BF2042 won’t sell more than 17 copies

[copper fulcrum]

2042 will do fine

[quasi acorn]

Tbh if they want to keep the idea Merc why not a character creator

[sullen inlet]

17 copies from me alone

[soft turtle]

ik the first BF to survive the first year lol

[torpid shuttle]

Do you did it?

[austere furnace]

If you blame something you know it can change? Ok. But dice, instead of saying "ok OK we ll'think about it" released 5 MORE SPECIALISTS

[austere furnace]

I bought it 6 times. Not joking

[indigo flame]

You can pick whatever load out you want in Arma

[bronze thorn]

That's the 3080 in my PC yeah. I don't do consoles personally. They don't tick the right boxes for me.

[copper fulcrum]

I'd compare BF2042 Specialists to Titanfall, not CoD.

[desert elbow]

It’s more content, why would you want less specialists when you can remove them in portal anyway

[arctic grove]

what is arma and why should i care about arma

[fervent grotto]

I like cod but being on xbox and being a cod player is tough because PlayStation gets the cool stuff. Exactly with how fortnite gave ps4 all the cool skins and shit and then for xbox you had to buy a whole new console for a single skin.

[median coral]

I could see them making it part of Ea play if the playerbase starts struggling since anyone with ultimate gets in for free

[arctic grove]

Bf5 with backlash feedback was did good on 1st month but never made progress upcoming years

[quasi acorn]

I disagree more R6 then titanfall

[fervent grotto]

Yea cod specialists don’t add or change the game they’re just skins.

[desert elbow]

Military simulator

[indigo flame]

Because you’re insisting that load out freedom is uniquely a CoD thing. Arma is about as milsim as you can get

[arctic grove]

Bf5 went through the same progress

[soft turtle]

oh yeah that i forgot but really I am skipping this COD

[arctic grove]

Let’s face it. BF 2042 won’t go ANYWHERE without an esports

[austere furnace]

Indeed, I'm totally fine with specialists. Simply, these fuckin "I'm the bf vet" aren't ok with the game and they WANT this 205w to be an absolutely different game

[jaunty nest]

jesus christ u people are so negative

[arctic grove]

loadout freedom in a game not known for its loadout freedom, after the huge success of a mainstream franchise with loadout freedom

[median coral]

It’s pretty active on Xbox now because of it I’m pretty sure

[fervent grotto]

I bought both games since I love both series

[austere furnace]

Esports and arcade fps isn't a thing.

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah but R6 Operators have a limited weapon variety

[soft turtle]

same

[flat charm]

Bruh, not everyone can afford a 3080 or 3090 for that matter. But good to hear you got almost the best out, it will just get outdated in a few years once graphics become real as day. 😄

[fervent grotto]

And the vanguard beta went pretty well in my book

[quasi acorn]

More like recruit load out

[copper fulcrum]

FUCK the VETS for thinking that their opinion holds more weight because they simply played the game longer than other people. FUCK that

[median coral]

I’m getting both vanguard and BF2042 and I’ll play halo once that drops

[fervent grotto]

I’ve played longer therefore I am some how smarter then you

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah fuck that way of toxic thinking

[arctic grove]

Yeah kinda I know when bf5 was free on ps+ servers skyrocket

[soft turtle]

I am a vet and I like the game, just joking played since BFBC2

[bronze thorn]

I've played every single battlefield from BF2. Bring on the specialists!!!

[median coral]

Plus battlefield is changing stuff to fix the issue vets always bash them about, the playerbase dying in a year

[hidden sand]

Have you seen Silks video on that? Suggested a council of veteran professional players to be the main source of feedback, and how DICE shouldn't listen to the community

[copper fulcrum]

1942! And I am not gonna hammer that fact into the ground and stand on a pedestal because of that shit.

[austere furnace]

I got trash talked for saying I'm a bc2 vet, from ppl who was vet from even before. Lmao. Bf has one of the worst communities around for sire

[indigo flame]

CoD has been hugely successful for years and years. If they wanted to copy CoD because CoD made money, they could have done it over a decade ago

[soft turtle]

nah COD worse

[bronze thorn]

You should see the LoL / CSGO / Overwatch communities.

[quasi acorn]

Don’t go to LoL

[austere furnace]

At least cod community isn't roasting a trailer just for a woman

[median coral]

Changing some game mechanics is a way to get new types of players playing along with veterans

[cedar shoal]

🤓 O you started playing in bc2??? Well i started in bf 1942, cod player

[median coral]

It’s good for game growth

[copper fulcrum]

I still have the shitting Demo Disc for 1942, but I am not gonna use that to say "HURR, GAME SUCK" or whatever lol

[austere furnace]

2k hrs on Dota, yup I know

[arctic grove]

bfv has already codified its gunplay and it was an absolutely shit game. this isnt the first time

[flat charm]

Remember the good old days of COD Modern Warfare 2 and 3 the original versions?

[soft turtle]

yeah, but you got toxic kids in COD

[arctic grove]

COD is successful because it's small arena style fps

[quasi acorn]

Nah cod is practically home for racist

[bronze thorn]

Damn son! Respect!

[copper fulcrum]

You're telling me that good gunplay is only reserved for CoD?

[austere furnace]

No, I regret every single hour spent on that game

[indigo flame]

Violent videogames have turned the youth into vicious, mentally-ill Neanderthals. Frankly people should only be allowed to play Bubble Bobble

[soft turtle]

I got called the N word for beating a 15 year old guy

[hidden sand]

You don't have to be a vet to criticize the changes this game has made. You don't have to be a vet to like it, either. That sort of thing is really odd to mention.

[copper fulcrum]

I regret every second I have on every MOBA :(

[arctic grove]

DICE try the arena style fps with medal of honor warfighter

[bronze thorn]

I'd rather buy Winrar.

[arctic grove]

laser beam guns does not equal good gunplay. it equals "feels good to shoot" gunplay but not fundamentally good gunplay

[austere furnace]

Warfighter was great

[flat charm]

I don't play the new CODs, I play the old ones.

[copper fulcrum]

Exactly, they try to use "I'VE PLAYED THE GAME LONGER" to give them some shit sense of entitlement

[quasi acorn]

like Cod is practically Kkk meeting sometimes

[copper fulcrum]

There's no laser beam guns, maybe if you bipod a few of them but not really.

[austere furnace]

HAHAHSHSHA

[indigo flame]

Lmao, okay chief, sure. You’re moving the goal posts. First it’s the load outs, then it’s the gunplay. What’s next?

[kind hedge]

If you say your a battlefield veteran you just mean your an old lonely man

[median coral]

Until battlefield looks like what combat master online did, it’s not a cod copy lmao

[arctic grove]

I want another medal of honor game

[soft turtle]

when I got called the N word, I just said your mom jokes to him, the dirty ones but I repented

[arctic grove]

the goal post is the same. codifying the game to appeal to cod players. that was always the goal post

[quasi acorn]

What

[arctic grove]

IDK stg was pretty beamy

[austere furnace]

Warfighter is able to kill any cod released from 2012 to 2018 technically

[copper fulcrum]

Up to a certain distance

[wooden pendant]

helloo

[hidden sand]

BF2042 is only copying cod in animations, imo. The actual gameplay is a lot more like Apex. MW2019 feels meatier and heavier than this game, imo lol.

[soft turtle]

Some of the vets still like the game though

[austere furnace]

Single shot + tap fire = op

[arctic grove]

That how COD MW19 inspiration came from the devs DICE LA

[copper fulcrum]

But then it's damage is kinda shit after some distance

[median coral]

Tbh yeah, apex makes more sense than a cod copy lmao

[austere furnace]

Exactly

[median coral]

Cod hasn’t had specialists since BO4

[quasi acorn]

Tbh I can’t think of how bf felt before the beta tbh

[soft turtle]

Well they had characters

[median coral]

There were pretty much skins with unique voices after MW19 came out

[hidden sand]

It's just so weird to me to tie these characters to abilities rather than making them cosmetic only, in 2042.

[soft turtle]

yeah I liked it though ngl

[arctic grove]

im telling you. if bf2042 turns into a beamfest it will also be a campfest. as much as people praise easy lasery gunplay and constantly herald it as "good gunplay" it feels TERRIBLE to be on the receiving end

[soft turtle]

bruh is that the medic from the beta

[median coral]

I also kinda wondered that. Not complaining they didn’t tho

[arctic grove]

it's no coincidence bfv was such a slow paced miserable game

[copper fulcrum]

I am gonna say two words, and I expect you to guess the two words

[flat charm]

It's on my sticker pack for some reason.

[indigo flame]

If a character has a name that means it’s literally exactly like Specialists. Goldeneye is just ripping off R6 Siege

[bronze thorn]

Right. I'm gonna drop out and play some BF2142 for a bit. Be nice everyone!

[soft turtle]

lol

[copper fulcrum]

I'd say BFV was pretty fast paced, especially if you played the fucking objective lol

[bronze thorn]

[quasi acorn]

Nice doesn’t work here

[arctic grove]

say it

[copper fulcrum]

Discord and Nice cannot co-exist

[arctic grove]

say it

[copper fulcrum]

gg

[bronze thorn]

One can hope.

[austere furnace]

gRemove gSpecialists

[indigo flame]

It can if you block all the people who don’t know how to string a sentence together without saying something like “COD Shitguard hueh hueh hueh”

[median coral]

Battlefield veterans when specialists make the game very popular among new players

[arctic grove]

correct

[austere furnace]

HAHAHSHAHAHSAH

[copper fulcrum]

gSpecialists sounds like a Garry's Mod addon

[hidden sand]

What is up with the spotting abilities in 2042, that needs to chill lol

[copper fulcrum]

gRemove as well, really

[arctic grove]

Whoever said the internet nice place lol

[copper fulcrum]

It was just limited to gadgets tho

[azure lodge]

Battlefield 2042 | Release (Gold/Ultimate)
Releases <t:1636700400:R>

[indigo flame]

Tell that to BF4 players

[haughty dagger]

Why does everyone think someone that had played plenty or iterations of BF hates specialists?

[soft turtle]

does not look op, its just that if you say its too op, train more in the game

[median coral]

One of the goals of battlefield 2042 is attracting new players lmao

[hidden sand]

The spotting abilities reek of Battlefront 2 abilities, they're taking them straight from it

[haughty dagger]

That’s literally the goal of every game ever made.

[austere furnace]

I don't, it's just facts, any bf Instagram post is full of "remove specialists"

[wide shore]

Because if you don’t agree with the “true fans” you are just a newbie and don’t know what you’re talking about.

[austere furnace]

^

[soft turtle]

cause most of the devs from Battlefront 2 are in BF2042

[median coral]

Yeah and that’s why mechanics change and evolve, something obviously isn’t working when even veterans say the game dies after a year

[austere furnace]

If battlefield v was trash, it's because of fans, so fuck em

[haughty dagger]

I mean I played BF3 on release and my first one was battlefield modern combat in Xbox and I don’t mind them.

[indigo flame]

If a game gets too popular though that means all the jocks and cool kids at school are gonna start playing it and that means that it turns into a casual shitfest and I’ll have to start playing WoW again

[hidden sand]

The wallhacks flat out do not belong in Battlefield imo, there is absolutely no way to balance it without having to change the game entirely.

[fierce sail]

gm.orbital

[copper fulcrum]

Veterans say this about every Battlefield game before it comes out

[unkempt beacon]

Who knows what players think of bfv. Seems like 50 50

[copper fulcrum]

They said it with BF3 and BF4, look at them now

[austere furnace]

Neither do I, 8 yrs in bf now since bf3 (and then all the previous), totally fine with em

[brittle forge]

BFV was trash because it didn’t have any content at launch and its reveal was bad but ok

[soft turtle]

well if you always check your back then you have a high chance of surviving the ji soo paik guy

[haughty dagger]

I will never play WoW again. That shit became a fucking job. It’s just a busy chore sim now.

[copper fulcrum]

Y'all didn't play the BF3 beta since like 90% of it was "THIS GAME IS COD" in the text chat

[hidden sand]

Just because criticsm happened in the past doesn't mean it's any less valid now.

[austere furnace]

Ye I remember the "I'm a bf2 vet, bf3 is trash too much arcade"

[wide shore]

Then they hate the game at launch. Play it for 600 hours. Then say it was the best game ever once the new one launches.

[tepid tide]

How do I un-preorder this on the EA app?

[copper fulcrum]

I still prefer BF2 over BF3 tho lol

[soft turtle]

plus they switched up the movement in BF2042

[tepid tide]

Want to switch to steam slightly after the launch

[quasi acorn]

The Gamer Cycle™️

[fierce sail]

then sell another kidney

[indigo flame]

Congratulations. I only played a free week in 2008 myself, but I have lost friends to that poison.

[brittle forge]

I love when this chat just turns into a massive “teh veterans suck” circlejerk, presumably to combat a perceived anti-specialist circlejerk

[flat charm]

Where are my 1942 veterans in here?

[austere furnace]

Go to your account info, then there is the order history, and then you can cancel the preload

[copper fulcrum]

🙌

[soft turtle]

don't know

[wide shore]

They don’t all suck.

[hidden sand]

Imagine thinking because criticism has happened before it's invalid now lol
God damn if you wanna talk about echo chambers this sure is one

[copper fulcrum]

I am a veteran, I do not suck.

[tepid tide]

I did that earlier on today but it only had the 2042 beta on there @austere furnace

[soft turtle]

yeah some vets like the game

[austere furnace]

Mh

[brittle forge]

So, anyone who doesn’t like the game is a “bad veteran” then?

[copper fulcrum]

I've been through this trip with most games in the series, it's just how the community has been for a while now

[tepid tide]

Under order history it just wasn't there

[warm plaza]

the only problem i have with the specalist system is that it's going to be jarrign to see the same model over and over

[median coral]

Battlefield suffers COD syndrome,
-game is revealed, people get hyped
-beta comes out, everyone says it’s shit
-Game launches, people praise the past game after saying it’s shit
-Say this game is shit the whole year
-New game revealed, get hyped
-beta comes out, say it’s shit
-new game launches, say its shit then praise the game they said was shit last year was amazing
Repeat every new title

[austere furnace]

It's different

[austere furnace]

Make sure you selected the right period

[indigo flame]

This place isn’t an echo chamber, it’s a speaker pointed at it’s own microphone

[median coral]

Already starting with Cold War lmao

[fierce sail]

Say what you want about 2042 but god damn did it not fill a hole

[brittle forge]

To be fair BFV broke this for Battlefield by actually failing

[fierce sail]

Now I wanna play the broken beta

[wide shore]

They don’t have to like it either. But the people who cry that it’s being casualized, buy it anyway, then sink hundreds of hours into it. That’s another story

[soft turtle]

true but they always get revived though

[flat charm]

Couldn't of said it better myself.

[austere furnace]

Most of the people angry about 2042 are "Vets", but there also are enthusiast vets

[indigo flame]

If by “COD syndrome” you mean “gamer brain disease” then yeah

[fierce sail]

Bfv is like cod ghosts imo

[tepid tide]

Yeah I pre-ordered it a while ago like a few months ago near the gameplay trailer but nothing was there. I know that that was a silly choice @austere furnace

[fierce sail]

Its bad for most but good for some

[warm plaza]

COd ghost campain was awsome

[soft turtle]

yeah that is true, like whats wrong with trying new ideas

[brittle forge]

Cause as much as I like it now, BFV did fail. They cut off support that was intended to last for years because not enough ppl were playing the game and firestorm was dead in two weeks

[fierce sail]

Twas fun

[forest birch]

Day 27

[austere furnace]

But hey, it now has 60k players only on steam and not because they gifted it

[median coral]

BO4 also briefly broke the cycle by selling less than COD1, aka failing hard in cod standards

[fierce sail]

huh

[wide shore]

I’m only referring to the “vets” who wear their veteran status as a guise to somehow make their opinion more valid. When in reality it makes no difference. Just admit you don’t like something without trying to validate your opinion based on how long you’ve been playing. It’s pretentious.

[austere furnace]

Just to say that early numbers don't mean nothing

[fierce sail]

16 days till launch

[quasi acorn]

Tbh if MW2019 never happened then cod would have lower sales

[median coral]

MW2019 and Cold War saved cod

[forest birch]

It's coming😎

[brittle forge]

That’s fair. I hate that shit too, on both sides of whatever debate bf has atm

[austere furnace]

Cold war didn't save cod

[median coral]

Cold War made more money than MW19 did in raw profits not just counting sales

[fierce sail]

[somber goblet]

Cod ghost campaign was something new, I liked that one

[indigo flame]

Don’t worry, some of us are just lying about it for some kind of fake, pointless authority

[soft turtle]

in MW19 with out the tactical sprinting the movement reminded me of BF4

[quasi acorn]

NGL the bf community is slowly turn into the AEW vs WWE rating war rn

[warm plaza]

the ending left me in shock and horror

[brittle forge]

I kinda want Ghosts 2 ngl

[wide shore]

[soft turtle]

the Tank mission legit felt like copy and paste from BF3 mission from rolling thunder

[foggy crest]

me too bro

[fierce sail]

In bf4 if you added a bunch of things and took some out it reminded me of tarkov

[median coral]

It sold just a couple million under MW19 still one of the top 5 selling games but sold a shit ton more bundles than MW19

[quiet mountain]

The guy just told me to get a refund from the playstation store then order it again

[brittle forge]

If only cause I hate unresolved cliffhangers

[tepid tide]

Actually don't worry @austere furnace I didn't look in the time frame thanks for your help

[wide shore]

We all know AEW is better anyway.

[soft turtle]

yeah that tbh

[fierce sail]

You can already find out what happened

[somber goblet]

"Logan!"

[austere furnace]

Mw2019 is another example of hated but successful game. "cod vets" didn't like the game because if (finally) was something new.

[fierce sail]

He got tourtured in a hole in the jungle

[quasi acorn]

TRU, but god that community is so bad

[austere furnace]

<3

[fierce sail]

and brainwashed

[median coral]

Honestly feel like BF2042 is gonna do the same

[wide shore]

The IWC has always, and will always be shit.

[woeful python]

battlefield

[austere furnace]

I hope so. Mw2019 had a strong community, because it only had passionate gamers

[quasi acorn]

I’m starting to see that now

[brittle forge]

Cod vets seem to fucking love this game though oddly enough Kind of the inverse of what happens in modern warfare 19

[arctic grove]

bf 2042 will go down in history as the game that changed fps shooters forever. and thats a fact.

[fierce sail]

The boosting community tho

[wide shore]

I’d love it too, if the alternative was Vanguard.

[hidden sand]

I want this game to be good, personally. But I don't like how the specialist system works currently, I think class restricted gadgets is much better, but I don't mind specialist by themselves. The movement is such a downgrade from what was built up in BFV, the animations are too. Heli physics have been simplified, jets are flat out unplayable. These things are major, core elements of the game. They will not change, and if they do, it will be months or even a year later. I'm not going to like this game ever if it does not change.

Those past BF games had horrible, unbelievable launches. They deserved every bit of shit they got. Same with BFVs live service. Those games got better because they weren't finished to begin with.

So saying that criticism is silly because its happened for is about the worst example you can give in regards to how DICE handles their games lol.

[main hound]

Only?

[median coral]

Battlefield and halo are likely gonna be the relevant games shooter for next couple years that aren’t FTP BRs

[fierce sail]

Yeah

[brittle forge]

Look you can think the game is good as you want but objectively the game is just kind of following trends set by other games and mixing them together with the existing BF formula

[indigo flame]

All my friends told me they’re not gonna get BF 2042 because some people on discord said that it’s gonna be bad and that Dice is a SJW Russian psy-op that’s endeavoring to erode traditional family values

[austere furnace]

I meant it didn't have toxic players

[main hound]

Bruh

[foggy crest]

what exactly it changed ?

[fierce sail]

You need passionate gamers to have a community

[main hound]

Yeah, but he said only

[austere furnace]

But just ppl who liked the game

[soft turtle]

The rendezook in the Halo trailer was funny

[austere furnace]

I used the wrong word

[indigo flame]

“Passion” breeds extremism. Passion is overrated. Give me civility any day of the week.

[median coral]

Just as long as it doesn’t destroy any gameplay idc. Since if you don’t like a character you can just not use them lol

[main hound]

My bad then

[austere furnace]

Let's rework it, wait

[fierce sail]

Specialists being good if done right, larger maps and player counts being the norm and I’m sure much more

[wide shore]

I’m stoked Neebs is reuploading all the BFF’s

[soft turtle]

if you don't like the specialists, you have portal

[split bone]

To think passion is overrated would be sad, let me know if you need a hug

[median coral]

He’s doing it to let people catch up for BFF2042

[austere furnace]

Mw2019's community was solid and strong, because it was composed of passionate people, and gamers who actually liked the game.

[main hound]

So does last gen have the same map size?

[brittle forge]

These two things are not even remotely mutually exclusive

[fierce sail]

I like them...?

[indigo flame]

Okay I feel like this gets me in trouble a lot here, but for the record that was satire. My friends, the ones who are getting BF2042 are not about to be swayed by some weird stranger crying about it online

[marble orchid]

Eh, people will pick gadgets based on their needs anyway, so it'll balance out in the end

[austere furnace]

Nope

[wide shore]

I know. It’s perfect!

[main hound]

Crap

[soft turtle]

oh sorry just thought you hated it

[fierce sail]

Nah I love them

[median coral]

Oh lmao good. I find it funny how people think one character like that instantly means they are going full SJW with no good gameplay

[fierce sail]

I’m excited for a game that has it built in to its foundation

[soft turtle]

their good if used properly and not complained about

[brittle forge]

If you’re gonna buy this game on last gen, godspeed soldier. I salute your sacrifice

[warm plaza]

wait which character is controversial?

[wide shore]

Sundance apparently

[fierce sail]

Thats what I mean hopefully that will change FPS

[austere furnace]

It was predictable tho, once you have to go 32v32 you can't keep a large map. Remember bf3 on ps3? Op firestarm was literally a half

[median coral]

One is non-binary. That’s the only “sjw” type thing at all lmao

[indigo flame]

Cultists are passionate. Passion is a stones throw from hostile fanboyism. It’s important not to lose sight of the fact that ultimately, video games are just fancy toys.

[fierce sail]

Specialists being done better and with more variety

[brittle forge]

Sundance because of the character being non-binary. I think it’s pretty overblown on both sides of the people talking about it though, I don’t think many people will even really care

[soft turtle]

yeah COD devs are going to work a bit harder

[foggy crest]

" bf 2042 will go down in history as the game that changed fps shooters forever " i dont think thats a fact

[main hound]

I thought they were doing the half as Bots thing

[fierce sail]

Ok

[soft turtle]

Well its becoming more talked about than COD right now

[wide shore]

But you’d think Ji-soo with her wallhacks would cause a bigger uproar than a character being non-binary.

But it’s the internet.

[fierce sail]

I didn’t say it was a fact I was just saying what it could change

[brittle forge]

Paik absolutely did to be honest. The whole sundance thing has been wildly overblown

[austere furnace]

2042 bots arent just like battlefront 2 bots (which is good)

[soft turtle]

which character is non binary I couldn't see one

[brittle forge]

I barely hear about the non-binary controversy other than when it gets brought up here a couple of times

[split bone]

Thats bout the wildest statement i've heard on here

[fierce sail]

Sundance

[foggy crest]

yes but do u really think its changing anthing in fps genre ?

[wide shore]

I haven’t seen it much here

[main hound]

Wing suit person

[wide shore]

Sundance

[warm plaza]

yeah i saw more complaits about ji-soo than the non binary character

[fierce sail]

Bigger maps and player count

[soft turtle]

bruh I thought that was a girl

[median coral]

I’ve seen a few people unironically say they aren’t buying Bf2042 over there being an old lady specialist lmao

[fierce sail]

They are non binary

[austere furnace]

Indeed "she" is

Apparently

[soft turtle]

She looked like a girl to me man what?

[foggy crest]

player count and bigger maps is it new really ?

[arctic grove]

korean wallhacker

[soft turtle]

yeah lol

[soft turtle]

yep since they do not have a gender identity

[fierce sail]

Well I can’t think of any other game with almost 130 players in one map other than planet side

[arctic grove]

dice really made the most "diverse" cast of lifeless husks this time around

[fierce sail]

And planet side is not too bad

[stiff pollen]

Can it be the 11th already

[brittle forge]

Inclusivity is kinda pointless to talk about unless you have full character customization tbh

[fierce sail]

Tbh if you don’t like that a character is non binary just don’t play the game

[main hound]

Well, dunno

[indigo flame]

Idk, I don’t know whether “BF2042 is going to go down as the greatest game in history,” or “BF2042 is going to go down as the worst game in history,” is more deranged to me. It’s unhealthy to invest so much of yourself into a product.

You wanna be passionate about something? Fine, be passionate about a hobby. Be passionate about gaming for all I care. But don’t be passionate, whether positive or negative, about a product that hasn’t even been released.

[foggy crest]

warzone once also had 200 player and warzone still has 150 players u really think its still new in fps

[fierce sail]

Its sad that you are mad about a fake person

[soft turtle]

yeah, I am playing as Dozer he looks sick

[fierce sail]

Thats a battle royal

[arctic grove]

don't play entire game because you dislike one character

[fierce sail]

BRs are shit

[foggy crest]

that guy said fps warzone is fps game

[median coral]

Or just don’t use the character, there’s 5 other options

[fierce sail]

Battle royals are dying

[austere furnace]

Fact

[copper fulcrum]

They're also hot

[fierce sail]

Yeah sorry I’m a dumbass

[soft turtle]

those are BRs, does it have that much in its MP, no

[austere furnace]

Fact again

[austere furnace]

JSHAHAHAHAHA

[copper fulcrum]

TELL ME I AM WRONG

[quasi acorn]

You ain’t

[austere furnace]

CAN'T

[copper fulcrum]

EXACTLY

[haughty dagger]

BRs are not dying.

[fierce sail]

I’m a fucking idiot sorry

[quasi acorn]

@copper fulcrum YOU DONT MISS

[haughty dagger]

Just because you don’t enjoy it doesn’t mean it’s dying.

[fierce sail]

Funny joke

[haughty dagger]

Just like people saying “fortnites dead” shit is still printing money

[main hound]

I am excited, and I’ll be eventually getting the cheap series S

[soft turtle]

bruh if you hate one character don't play as him or her, that guy is stupid who told you not to play the game

[fierce sail]

Ghost recon frontline is gonna be shit

[foggy crest]

u can play 50vs50 death match type game even now in warzone the mode is called clash but thats not what i am saying that dude said " bf 2042 will go down in history as the game that changed fps shooters forever " but what exactly it is changing , i dont see anything atleast imo

[fierce sail]

I’m a fucking idiot sorry man forget what I said

Which one

[soft turtle]

evolution and scale

[soft turtle]

GR breakpoint is bringing what the fans want in the new update

[haughty dagger]

You talking about the Tom Brady Xbox one?

[fierce sail]

Yeah I mean the battle royal

[foggy crest]

what do u mean by evolution ?

[median coral]

I’ve seen people say they aren’t buying the game purely because they added an older lady specialist lmao

[soft turtle]

its more like tarkov though

[fierce sail]

I’m happy about motherland gonna be playing it

[stiff pollen]

It’s an update that basically makes it wildlands again

[fierce sail]

It kinda isn’t

Yah it looks shit

[haughty dagger]

I hope they add anime skins just so I can wear them knowning I’m going to tilt people. Give me some hello kitty tank skin too.

[soft turtle]

the scale destruction which is what BF is known for, more details and a lot more

[stiff pollen]

GR frontline trailer was so “well” received it got canned immediately

[soft turtle]

oh ok

[fierce sail]

[median coral]

And others are coping saying stuff like “they’ll make her young again by changing her design again after the beta”

[fierce sail]

Its a br where platforms fall from the sky

[soft turtle]

Well she looks mid 40 she is not that old though

[haughty dagger]

You know there’s going to be Reddit posts “BF is dead! This doesn’t belong!!”

[fierce sail]

Who

[foggy crest]

destruction BF already has it

[soft turtle]

isn't that HZ from BF2042

[median coral]

People in other servers lmao

[fierce sail]

Yep and it’ll be funny

[soft turtle]

yes but upgrading it, and the details

[fierce sail]

No

That’s satellites

[median coral]

They got pissed when I showed that this has not final art unlike her current design in the beta

[soft turtle]

ok

[copper fulcrum]

You know I never heard of Ghost Recon Frontline until now lmao

[quasi acorn]

Hot take: Triple A gaming Has loss a good amount of pride and sprit, but somehow there’s enough sprit to make god of war, doom, smash, Dmc V, FF7 etc.

[soft turtle]

what about Breakpoint, ngl it was so trash compared to wildlands

[copper fulcrum]

I heard of BP

[haughty dagger]

She also has a shaved head it looks here and not grey hair. That’s literally the only thing that makes her look old is the hair color.

[foggy crest]

so they are just upgrading what they have already

[arctic grove]

Let’s face it. BF won’t go anywhere without jetpacks

[slim quiver]

damn i must be one of the only ones that didnt like god of war

[soft turtle]

mil sim gameplay is better on Breakpoint

[copper fulcrum]

1942 had jetpacks

[slim quiver]

i liked the story of GoW but I did not like the combat set up, it was very dry to me

[soft turtle]

yes but upgrading them to a next level

[weak umbra]

bAttLeFiEld 2042 WiLl dIE wItHoUt BR

[fierce sail]

Pour water on it

[slim quiver]

talk, enter area with a few mobs, talk, rinse and repeat

[indigo flame]

BF 2042 is probably gonna get a jetpack specialist. The British Army is already experimenting with them.

[tight grotto]

go to the forever box now

[quasi acorn]

I think there more people who don’t like it but it was a big success from a commercial standpoint and gaming standpoint

[copper fulcrum]

Gears of War or God of War (jk, I saw the messages from earlier)

[tight grotto]

and never come back

[fierce sail]

MaKe HaZaRd ZoNe F2P

[weak umbra]

no the game will with no br

[haughty dagger]

I hope we get some info dropped tomorrow. Would be nice for something to be trickled at us 2 weeks before early access.

[slim quiver]

yeah thats fair. Maybe i just preferred the old GoW's

because the old GoW games had way way cooler combat

[urban olive]

GoW 3 still my fav, when Kratos smashes the guys head on a rock and you see it thru his eyes. Genius.

[weary osprey]

[weak umbra]

state of play was trash

[indigo flame]

Yeah but I like the aesthetic of the Gravity Jet Suit so I’m actually just trying to get people talking more about that one 🙃

[median coral]

They also slowly made it go from the shaved to the design now since a older build has mostly brown hair

[weak umbra]

halo infinite bouttta go nuts

[foggy crest]

i hope its awesome

[slim quiver]

I think halo will be the shooter of the year

that beta was so unreal good

[weak umbra]

idc man still fun af

[slim quiver]

the TTK doesnt really matter, its halo lol

[soft turtle]

the water effects go on you face and clothing, its like the water effects in batman arkham knight

[weary osprey]

Photo perms?

[median coral]

Both halo and BF2042 will likely be popular. Vanguard isn’t bad but it isn’t unique enough to get a lot taking about it

[slim quiver]

and the TTK is actually faster than most of the other halo games

[bronze thorn]

!!regular

[tender pendant]

The Regular role is earned by users automatically who are active in chat and follow the server rules. With this role you can post/embed images, use some bot commands, and change what color you appear in chat.

[weak umbra]

and barely any bugs compared to cod and bf

[slim quiver]

i mean vanguard will sell a ton of copies, so i wouldnt say that

[soft turtle]

no one in COD server talking about it lol

[median coral]

No cod game will fail but I also don’t think it’s gonna so insanely well like CW and MW19

[haughty dagger]

Give her darker color hair and she’ll look a lot younger. Either way Boris looks old as fuck but no one’s complaining there lol

[foggy crest]

i love NFS 2015 wet roads too

[weary osprey]

I’m a regular

[soft turtle]

yeah so they have those effects as well

[fierce sail]

What do u have 2 do 2 get regular?

[weary osprey]

I regularly check the chat

[slim quiver]

guys tend to look better as they age in some circumstances, women tend to look worse

[haughty dagger]

It’s an arena shooter. With team shooting shits quick.

[indigo flame]

Steve Martin went grey in his 30s. No reason Falck can’t be young and grey. Coomers have unrealistic expectations about how adults actually look

[fierce sail]

Just keep talking

[median coral]

Tbh I think it’s just gonna stay the way she was in the beta, no other characters had changes after the beta

[weary osprey]

[haughty dagger]

Give her the first anime skin

[visual oasis]

Specialist the best thing that's happend to bf

[weary osprey]

I’ve been talking for a while

[fierce sail]

👍

[weary osprey]

[median coral]

Plus none of the new videos and artworks of her have design not final

[haughty dagger]

[weary osprey]

[visual oasis]

The classes were better

[arctic grove]

id rather be a soldier but specialists are fine

[slim quiver]

well I wouldnt say that, they definitely look very old for being soliders, hell even paik looks pretty old

[arctic grove]

I wonder when deranged specialist is coming out

[weary osprey]

So specialists are like whatever u want them to be??

[slim quiver]

sundance looks relatively young

[arctic grove]

ya know, for diversity

[weary osprey]

Like cod?

[indigo flame]

If you think Paik looks old you should have seen my bald ass at 25.

[foggy crest]

man i dont play BF that much and what i play is death match in BF1 thats what i enjoy and i hope TDM of 2042 is 10x better than BF1 TDM , i know its not the most popular game mode BF fans enjoys but TDM is what i enjoy )

[visual oasis]

Adding specialist to battlefield just doesnt make it feel like bf

[weary osprey]

So it’s like cod?

[slim quiver]

Im just speaking from the female perspective

[weary osprey]

[haughty dagger]

[soft turtle]

its gonna be good, they weather effects tho in this one

[fathom osprey]

Wow really that's the first time I've heard someone say that!

[fierce sail]

[median coral]

I’m not complaining though, older chicks are cool

[slim quiver]

I am very curious to actually see paik's age as its not disclosed i dont think

[haughty dagger]

Don’t feed the troll

[fierce sail]

🥩

[weary osprey]

[foggy crest]

weather effects i dont think works on TDM

[haughty dagger]

🎣

[indigo flame]

Okay but Paik does not look old though wtf. I don’t think the game would benefit from 17 year old ingenues

[weary osprey]

[main hound]

I'm hyped, it looks sick

[median coral]

Atleast it isn’t Charly

[slim quiver]

Im not saying 17, but im just saying that she looks old lol, you could easily have a 25 year old specialist

[main hound]

I just want overviews of the new maps

[median coral]

She’s only like 30 yet looks late 40s

Charly in MW19 is

[slim quiver]

Paik looks 25-30? wat

[median coral]

Talking about a MW19 op that looks way older than her age lmao

[slim quiver]

if paik looks 25 then me at 26 i must look like im 7

[main hound]

If these are the biggest maps yet, then show them off

[soft turtle]

theres no tdm in BF2042, its AOW and portal, and HZ

[indigo flame]

She has a smooth face and dark hair, what do you want, a school girl uniform?

[soft turtle]

bruh lol

[median coral]

Falck in a school girl uniform

[fierce sail]

AOW will have tdm presumably

[foggy crest]

but BF4 , BF1 , BF5 all of these have TDM why not in 2042 , they will add it later i think no problem

[indigo flame]

“Did BF2042 add portal to appeal to the CoD player base?!?! 😤😤😤”

[slim quiver]

No lol, obviously not

[soft turtle]

in portal you can do whatever mode you want from any timeline, so you can do a 12 v 12 in small map

[royal trail]

u can probably just make your own tdm servers in portal

[foggy crest]

problem solved nice 🙌

[soft turtle]

yep in portal its your rules with no restrictions, you can do 1 tank against eod bots

[slim quiver]

I think honestly its just the lightning in 2042

the lighting just makes these characters look hella old

[soft turtle]

ok

[foggy crest]

i hope weapons are also more than BF4

[slim quiver]

then you see like the bulletin page and suddenly its smooth'd out and fixed

[soft turtle]

yeah cause I saw in game she looked a lot younger than that

[slim quiver]

how did you see her in game

[soft turtle]

its weapons from all the time eras

[slim quiver]

the website just makes the character look better

but the game preview makes the character look really bad

[foggy crest]

ohhh yes how can i forget that

[soft turtle]

yep

[median coral]

Falck’s launch will like the more like this style

Aka close to her beta one just better lighting and textures

[slim quiver]

how are we sure of this?

to me this just looks like they smoothed it out for the website

[median coral]

Her beta look may just be the final one too. But I doubt they are changing it again

Since falck’s first redesign was just due to the specialist not being done yet

[stiff pollen]

Ima be real I think Falck is kinda hot but that’s just me :/

But Irish is MUCH hotter

[indigo flame]

I’d pay money for her to step on my neck, sure

[stiff pollen]

🤨

[median coral]

||Same tbh, gonna be real||

[stiff pollen]

They captured Michael K Williams too damn well for this game, rest his soul

Absolutely stunning

[slim quiver]

honestly look at the difference

[weary osprey]

👀

[slim quiver]

something is not adding up here

[royal trail]

paik looks like she got too much botox

[median coral]

Is that her final design?

[sharp adder]

she bad tho

[slim quiver]

which one the top?

I mean unless a dev tells me they fixed the faces otherwise

[foggy crest]

nooooo she is BFV character

[soft turtle]

wtf is that

[stiff pollen]

They didn’t fix the faces cause they gonna sell helmets for 20 bucks

[slim quiver]

what is what?

[indigo flame]

I’m assuming the engine was scaled back some in order to double the player/map size. Wider at the cost of depth. Could account for the weird graphics.

[median coral]

Oh nvm. I thought that was her final one lmao

[slim quiver]

if the graphics are worse in 2042

[soft turtle]

the asian in BFV

[slim quiver]

thats going to be a huge huge L from me tbh

[sharp adder]

whats wrong with her

[slim quiver]

theres no reason to dial back graphics on next gen hardware

[stiff pollen]

Reminder it took them 2 YEARS to fix Rey’s face (even when they had daisy ridley facial capture) in SWBF2

[soft turtle]

bro she looks more detailed then the bf2042 one tbh

[arctic grove]

Mate ngl... she’s fucking hot

[slim quiver]

if they actually had to dial the whole engine back to make sure ps4 and xbox one could run okay then this isnt really a next gen BF

[sharp adder]

its true!

[stiff pollen]

It’s never a next gen game the game after always is

[solar moss]

Misaki is probably responsible for numerous war crimes against Chinese civilians and American marines

[indigo flame]

Well, unless the reason is 128 player counts, just spitballing here. Devils advocate and all that.

[ornate thorn]

ngl, the characters in 2042 look like rubber

[soft turtle]

bruh of course, its a girl from japan

[arctic grove]

She can commit a warcime on me any day bruh let’s gooo

[ornate thorn]

the light doesnt pass through the skin like in bfv

[soft turtle]

yep

[slim quiver]

Misaki is a very very well designed character. prominent facial features, very detail hair and the reflection of the paint and she actually looks her age lol

[solar moss]

i dont like the whole idea of the elites

it just romanticises the axis imo, which is something DICE said they wouldnt do

[arctic grove]

Hannah from BF4 is detailed aswell isn’t she?

[stiff pollen]

Probably because they locked her behind a 40 level battle pass

[soft turtle]

yeah, she looks like the one in bfv

[slim quiver]

hannah is in her mid 30's and looks younger than jii soo

[foggy crest]

she is one of the main story character

[arctic grove]

Not even close????

[soft turtle]

how

[buoyant edge]

😉

[arctic grove]

All 3 of them look nothing alike

[arctic grove]

Yeah I prefer Hannah

[sharp adder]

bf5 elite still hotter

[slim quiver]

Misaki i would say is more pretty than hannah

but thats also because misaki's gear is just badass

[soft turtle]

well I rank BFV, BF4 and then BF2042

[sharp adder]

same

[slim quiver]

the googles and the Hachimaki look amazing

[soft turtle]

not the games, but the asian characters

[slim quiver]

an insane amount of detail went into misaki's uniform

[sharp adder]

yea!!!!!!!!

[arctic grove]

I prefer Hannah

WAIT NO MISAKI LOOKS BETTER

I got misaki confused with paik

[sharp adder]

misaki wins

[median coral]

I think it’s mainly a lobby issue. Someone said that the beta was likely locked to low graphics

[slim quiver]

idk im just speakin as an asian girl that hannah and misaki just look a lot more relevant to their age and how our faces tend to be a lot more round. But the cheekbones on paik are really really ridiculous in how prominent they are

[sharp adder]

got that baby face

[slim quiver]

granted obviously we dont all have the same face lol

[median coral]

I could see the main issue being that they haven’t shown off the game past the lowest graphics settings that they haven’t unlocked yet

[slim quiver]

But biologically we tend to have different fat distributions in our faces that tend to keep us looking younger in the face

[foggy crest]

u indirectly saying paik look ugly 👀

[arctic grove]

Paik looks like she’d play on the swings while eating Cheetos and bullying you on the school playground

[slim quiver]

I mean she does

from my opinion ofc

[arctic grove]

Dee

She does

[slim quiver]

Im not indirectly saying it tho

im straight up saying it

[arctic grove]

Huh?

[slim quiver]

Huh what

[arctic grove]

If there’s a skin to give her a face mask. I’m buying it

[median coral]

Gonna likely alert the horde but I find falck more attractive than Paik tbh

[arctic grove]

Whom is falck

[arctic grove]

You have chubby cheeks?

[median coral]

Medic lady

[arctic grove]

I need me a bitch with a bone though her nose

[slim quiver]

no i do not

[arctic grove]

Oh yeah def then

[foggy crest]

i think mara and park looks better

[arctic grove]

Oh

Smash?

[median coral]

Falck better

[foggy crest]

nope

[arctic grove]

Smash ultimate?

[soft turtle]

nah hannah from BF4

[arctic grove]

Falck looks a little old. She looks like a tough strict mom

[median coral]

Yes

[foggy crest]

grandma

[median coral]

I don’t mind a little old though tbh

[arctic grove]

She doesn’t look that old to me

She reminds me of the lady from BF4 before you get parachuted in the air

[median coral]

Who

[slim quiver]

Idk im obviously being picky

but its just my two cents

[arctic grove]

Well she reminds me. Lemme get the vid

[indigo flame]

Y’all sleeping on Boris tbh

[soft turtle]

when you get parachuted in the air the theme song plays lol

[slim quiver]

I personally think Hannah and Misaki were a lot better designed and they were just very well done characters

I simply can't say the same about paik

idk what it is, but I dont know why they'd show us a detailed model of a character on the lowest settings either in a trailer

[arctic grove]

Boris is a cheap tachanka

[median coral]

I honestly think Falck is well designed just low res in the beta

[indigo flame]

I feel like you’re talking more about graphical fidelity rather than art direction though.

[slim quiver]

if anything they could jack up the settings and show us what they looks like in ultra graphics

its one thing to be in a beta

[arctic grove]

I get Greenland vibes from Falck https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/battlefield/images/0/0c/Greenland_2.png/revision/latest?cb=20140421083921 https://youtu.be/a69XE5gdI5w

[slim quiver]

and have it be low res

[arctic grove]

Like maybe in terms of what her personality might be

[slim quiver]

the models in BF4 overall just seem to look better

[arctic grove]

DP 28 MOUNTD N READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[median coral]

I think they intentally made the beta stuck in the lowest settings so people are blown away at launch when it’s unlocked

[foggy crest]

now he got mosin nagant that shoots fire

[slim quiver]

idk either way ill be very disappointed if the graphics have been toned down, because the faces in BFV looks incredible

and I kind of expected the faces in this BF game to look better even

[arctic grove]

plasitc faces

[slim quiver]

with 3 years into the future and seeing that tech trailer of the frostbite engine

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 2042 with DP28 will increase sales 10x

Bipod

Imagine a shotgun with a bipod

[slim quiver]

anyone remember this https://youtu.be/uWvpd234bl0?t=48

[foggy crest]

no denying that

[arctic grove]

With high ttk dp28

[slim quiver]

right where i left off

[median coral]

The beta likely was made to test the features themselves, don’t wanna give away the jaw drop of a new game launch quite yet

[arctic grove]

This

[slim quiver]

again that just doesnt make sense

[indigo flame]

Yeah idk about that man

[slim quiver]

why would you advertise a game without showing its potential

you're going to make someone buy the game on a guessing game?

just to see if it looks better or not

[arctic grove]

I care more about the performance and the gameplay over if a character’s face that I will never give a fuck about looks a little bit like plastic

[mossy vigil]

almost 2 weeks

[foggy crest]

i just love that 26th second of Dragon Age 4 😍

[slim quiver]

its almost like taking a product you want to sell to the public and instead of showing them the finish product, you take the first iteration of the product from 10 months ago and show them the prototype and hope to get customers

[median coral]

Likely what they did lol

[indigo flame]

I think the trick is to compare a shot of the Menu Mackay from a digital foundry vid to a shot of Mackay from his specialist vid. I can’t post pics, so I’ll leave that to someone else

[median coral]

They said this build is old af

[slim quiver]

well that gameplay they showed in the specialist trailer could not have been 10 months ago

[arctic grove]

Are you on something

[slim quiver]

yes why

[arctic grove]

That’s a serious question.

[slim quiver]

and i answered it seriously

[arctic grove]

[median coral]

The build is old and they don’t want to take away the “holy shit this game looks amazing” factor at launch

[arctic grove]

“Yes I expect to have a fully polished game for my free to play beta 2 months before release”

[slim quiver]

it still does not make sense in a specialist trailer being shown 1 months before release

the beta was old sure

but the newest specialist trailer, did they take it from the same build? because they were on different maps with different characters

[slim quiver]

Never said that

we are talking about the specialist trailer

[arctic grove]

You kinda did

[foggy crest]

pause it on 1:16

[slim quiver]

i am strictly talking about paiks model and whether or not its "low res"

why show us a low res trailer

[arctic grove]

💀 bro the game ain’t even done

[slim quiver]

i mean gameplay wise its probably done correct

theyre bug fixing

[next gulch]

the graphics overall don't look any better than BF1 to me. There is more detail in 2042 but lol does everything else look like shit

[foggy crest]

https://youtu.be/rFvZSwHq3nQ

[slim quiver]

the game is out in 15 days

[arctic grove]

You seriously give a fuck about Paik’s model I’m over here wondering if the gameplay is gonna be good

[slim quiver]

you played the beta right?

[foggy crest]

watch it from 1:16

[arctic grove]

Yeah it was fun

[pure nest]

wtf

[slim quiver]

okay then why are you worrying

if an unfinished branch of the game was fun to you, then how will the final product be unfun?

[arctic grove]

I enjoyed the beta. I’m worry about the other specialists they showed. Gameplay. Not the low res of a stupid model

[slim quiver]

Well to me aesthetics matter

[next gulch]

this talk of beta is super cringe

[slim quiver]

i already know what to expect from gameplay in a BF game

[trim lance]

[slim quiver]

and if we dont like the main mode you can just play portal

which is literally just designing your own mode

[trim lance]

Portal will save ur anus

[soft turtle]

damn son

[slim quiver]

I dont think theres a whole lot of mystery behind how the game will effectively play out

[trim lance]

[next gulch]

Portal is stupid and will be a massive failure. Tag this post I'll be right you'll see

[slim quiver]

it will be like any other BF game, by the time the regular edition releases, the meta will have already been discovered

[arctic grove]

Aesthetics matter in a large scale shooter bruh I ain’t trying to count how many freckles an engineer has when I’m blowing a tank up with a rocket and lasering him with a P90

[slim quiver]

and whatever weapon/specialist is best they will probably run

[arctic grove]

its fun watching people assuming that games will fail

[arctic grove]

“It’s ea I hope it fails”

[trim lance]

Tetris BR wont fail

[arctic grove]

EA shall fail

[slim quiver]

You say that but theres a ton of people that are literally upset if someones gun is just a bright color. Clearly aesthetics matter to some people

[next gulch]

They're giving people way too much customization, 99% of what people create will be absolute garbage, and the few good server that are created will be hard to find underneath all the crap

[arctic grove]

oh my god dont get me started on the people that complain about the gun skins

[slim quiver]

Im happy to say I dont care about gun skins, in fact I want crazy gun skins

[arctic grove]

gun skins equals ez win

theyre so annoying, 'my immersion !!!!!'

[quartz jay]

I want anime skins

[foggy crest]

if EA fails will we see next Battlefield and Need For Speed

[soft turtle]

what will you create

[slim quiver]

yeah believe me I know, I hear about it all the time lol

[arctic grove]

That is more like... the overall military aesthetics. People care if their gun is bright pink or if it’s a realistic camouflage to blend in with the terrain. People do not give a shit about their character’s facial appearance

[slim quiver]

So then why is it wrong to care about the aesthetics of how characters look?

[arctic grove]

look how cod turned out!!!!!!!

Half the time people rock a fucking skin with some kind of mask

[slim quiver]

why is everything just an exception

[tall grail]

Absolutely. People screaming for immersion like this isn't a lightly futuristic light-post-apocalyptic game 👀

[median coral]

I’d they don’t like the face just wear a masked skin lmao

[arctic grove]

Huh

[trim lance]

[slim quiver]

you cant just dismiss one comment about an aesthetic

and then justify another

[arctic grove]

I can dismiss something that isn’t paid attention to.

[slim quiver]

if it isnt paid attention to, then why am i paying attention to it

[arctic grove]

Idk that’s what I’m asking

[slim quiver]

and who pays attention to a gun skin they themselves arent holding?

[arctic grove]

Why do you care about the facial appearance of a character you probably will rarely get up close to

[slim quiver]

does anyone actually pay attention to the gun skin an enemy has

[next gulch]

Do people srsly rely on how enemies look to figure out if they should shoot?

[slim quiver]

then why do people care about gun skins

you will rarely get up close

[next gulch]

do you not see a blue dot over their heads? Ok shoot them

[trim lance]

Shoot everything that moves

[slim quiver]

if its dumb to care about the facial features of a character, then its equally dumb to care about a gun skin thats optional, if i dont like it, i simply dont hold it

[arctic grove]

Because that’s something that stands out? Like it’s a long piece of equipment. It’s a rifle that if there is pink or something it’ll look stupid. Ur judging the resolution on a character’s face and then comparing it to whether a gun is pink or black

[soft turtle]

well they did say they fixed that problem

[arctic grove]

That’s a pretty bad comparison dude

[slim quiver]

At a long range are you really going to see the skin and focus on it with all the muzzle flash and terrible weather going on, really

[arctic grove]

We aren’t judging if a gun looks like plastic like the character’s face

[trim lance]

You only care about the killing

[next gulch]

They just needed to make the blue dot bigger and brighter. Everyone looking the same is a non issue gameplay wise

[trim lance]

[tall grail]

In general the gaming industry has turned towards this style of play and I encourage it. If I wanted some realistic sim I would play ARMA or something along those lines. Maybe squad

[arctic grove]

“Why do people care about how my gun looks” VS “why do people care about the resolution of a character’s face”
They’re completely different

[slim quiver]

i guarantee the moment someone turns a corner you're going to just aim center mass at them and hold down the trigger until theyre gone

you wont stop playing because of a gun skin that distracts you

[arctic grove]

Yeah I’m not gonna look at their stupid face

Thanks for proving my point. Lmfao.

[slim quiver]

I mean i wont look at their gun tho either?

[arctic grove]

I personally don’t give a fuck. But I can see why some people would care about pink or bright armor

[slim quiver]

so i dont understand

[restive trail]

are we caring about faces in FPS now

[slim quiver]

yeah I get armor aesthetics

but guns?

[slim quiver]

Oh I do

[arctic grove]

However their face is something I’m sure most people wouldn’t mind if it looks dodgy if you take a minute to get a good picture of it from far away

[next gulch]

I want some actually cool looking gun skins like in BF1, not spray painted or unicorn glitter skins. Maybe we'll get both

[urban olive]

I pick the no face option

[trim lance]

I dont want pink skins because this is some ww3 type of thing right?

[arctic grove]

She’s going to most likely have a mask skin sooner or later considering she can scan and look through walls that most people would use. So that just makes her facial resolution even less of an importance to me

It will be a full on helmet she’ll have wearing

[trim lance]

Give Mackay a helmet

[slim quiver]

to me it bothers me simply because I shouldnt be able to look back at a game made 3 years ago on a engine that wasn't upgraded for next gen like 2042 was

[arctic grove]

She’ll look like one of them paintballers

[brittle forge]

If either armor or a gun cosmetic breaks the games aesthetic, it breaks the aesthetic. End of. Whether that’s OK with you depends on your preferences for what you want to see

[soft turtle]

well the 2042 gun skins will look mad tho, I saw one

[slim quiver]

like if the faces look better in BFV

i see that as a downgrade to a newer title

[next gulch]

The guns themselves have a lot of detail, so that's good

[slim quiver]

especially when the engine has been upgraded

[arctic grove]

How often do you look at their face in multiplayer in a firefight

[trim lance]

0

[restive trail]

Well some people IRL in the military dont care and they'll put weeb shit on their M4A1s whether their sargents like it or not

[urban olive]

I just want to paint on dozers shield and I would be happy

[slim quiver]

the same amount of times i look at someones weapon

so 0

[trim lance]

Tf

[iron blade]

Günter and Helmut 🥵

[restive trail]

gunter is a sexy boi

[arctic grove]

so you don’t just get the instinct to aim and shoot?

[next gulch]

weebs in the military? court martial all of them

[trim lance]

No you shoot at people not at their weapon

[slim quiver]

I point and shoot without focusing on what the character is using or wearing

[arctic grove]

I didn’t see dis.
Then why do you care about the resolution

[restive trail]

"opinions? nah fuck em, the only good one is mine."

[urban olive]

Can't even really see the face, hear the voice more

[arctic grove]

Why do you give a fuck about something you just said you don’t give a fuck about

[trim lance]

Your name is pure fax

[arctic grove]

I’m so lost.

[iron blade]

Idk I like immersion in BF games, especially in BF1. Hopefully they sorta treat the gun skins in 2042 like the ones in BF1 and BFV, those ones were FAIRLY realistic and were cool.

[slim quiver]

The whole question is "is it just downgraded resolution in the trailer" which we have absolutely no confirmation of, because the gameplay in the trailer looked better than the beta

[trim lance]

You both talk about things you give 0 crap about

[next gulch]

@iron blade same but I have zero hope for that at this point

[brittle forge]

If everyone looks mostly militaristic I’m not really going to notice much detail wise, but if someone’s running around with a fucking anime hoodie and bright pink weaponry with tracers, I’m going to fucking notice lmao

[arctic grove]

Dude the beta looked good. Expect it to look like BFV but a little better that’s it.

[slim quiver]

Again thats what im expecting

but so far the character model does not look BFV but a little better

thats all im saying

[arctic grove]

But you just said you don’t care

[trim lance]

[iron blade]

Yeah, didnt I hear somewhere that a dice employee said that an EA employee liked what MW19 was doing and wanted BF2042 to do that

[slim quiver]

I literally just told you i cared about the faces

[next gulch]

yeah BFV looks better

[slim quiver]

i said I didn't care about gun skins lol

[restive trail]

its jork

[arctic grove]

Idk man

[urban olive]

I care more about the vehicles, environment and guns functioning right over looks

[slim quiver]

If people think what I care about is dumb, its not a problem lol. I already don't care about gun skins and a ton of people seem to

[next gulch]

@iron blade probably, the game looks like they used MW as a heavy inspiration LUL

[slim quiver]

but if the faces dont matter

[restive trail]

true i dont care much about the graphics

[slim quiver]

then the guns shouldnt either

[arctic grove]

?????

[bronze thorn]

You should never care about what others think. You enjoy the game your own way.

[trim lance]

I dont care much about the main game modes since portal will get me rock hard and thats it

[slim quiver]

well if the whole point is "how many times do you look at a persons face when you shoot them"

[soft turtle]

same but its Battlefield, they always nail it with the graphics

[vital cloud]

y’all worried about immersion but not worried about having infinite parachutes or jumping out of a jet and shooting another one down mid air with a rocket launcher

[slim quiver]

then my answer is I look about as many times as i focus on their weapon

which is also 0

[arctic grove]

Are you fucking thinking straight??? People don’t give a fuck about the character’s resolution. People don’t give a fuck about the resolution of the gun right now.

[restive trail]

Like if we're talking 3rd person rendered yeah that doesnt matter but 1st person yeah

[soft turtle]

its called only in Battlefield

[slim quiver]

why are you still talking about resolution

[urban olive]

oh hey nine, tried to send you DM but can't. Finished my drawing of the robot dog Ranger in the art channel if you want to check it out

[trim lance]

0 x 0 = 0 your discussion is trash

[arctic grove]

That’s your fucking argument

[restive trail]

yeah so its basically a automatic yes

[slim quiver]

i think you're the one who isnt getting what im saying

[arctic grove]

I’m done wtf

[slim quiver]

you didnt read when i said "the question is, is it the resolution that low or not"

[soft turtle]

yep that is true my friend

[analog stirrup]

Please god, let there be a scoreboard.

[next gulch]

lmao yes

[slim quiver]

we dont know if thats just the model characters actual textural quality

[trim lance]

Give

[next gulch]

the "scoreboard" they've show so far is embarrassing. Whoever made that should be fired

[brittle forge]

Seems like they’re keeping the weird one they had in the beta, at least initially

[arctic grove]

[brittle forge]

No changes were announced to it directly

[restive trail]

Its called we do a little bit of fuck milsims

[next gulch]

having score and K/D is toxic and hateful so no more of that!

[restive trail]

They said that was a placeholder

[next gulch]

its still the same in the recent videos they've put out

[arctic grove]

DICE logic

[brittle forge]

In fairness in the actual game you’re probably never going to see a rendezook unless you do it yourself

[vocal iris]

Does anyone know of any battlefield 2042 portal Discord servers? Seems like it would be cool to find a Discord dedicated to the portal system so you can find portal servers when they are up and running.

[proven igloo]

You could still see your K/D in the beta.

[next gulch]

yes YOURS, no one elses

[restive trail]

Oh wait im thinking of the console scoreboard i think it was different

[proven igloo]

Why would anyone else's' matter? I've only ever looked at the scoreboard to see my own.

[next gulch]

[trim lance]

POV: Its 2022 and there are more Portal Servers and Players than on HZ and AOW combined.

[bronze thorn]

Sorry if I'm slow replying. In comp match in overwatch atm

[restive trail]

ive looked at other peoples mainly to see if they were heli sweats or not lmao

[urban olive]

np

[modern crane]

imersion isn't exactly realism

[brittle forge]

So you can compare how you’re doing with others to see where you stack up?

[next gulch]

and see who's dragging your team down

[restive trail]

and realism is lame

[modern crane]

yeah

[haughty dagger]

Does that even matter?

[sullen inlet]

k and

[modern crane]

you would need a solid minute to reload some guns if the game was realistic in that

[proven igloo]

And what then?

[restive trail]

ITS THE BEST TIMELINE YOU FOOL

[haughty dagger]

The year is 2022 and people are playing battlefield 2042.

[trim lance]

Perfection

[restive trail]

In addition to the reloads already being like 3 seconds long on average

[haughty dagger]

Holy shit who cares if they play a mode you want or not.

[next gulch]

Portal gonna flop, I predict

[sullen inlet]

i dont understand

[modern crane]

the year is 2042 and people are playing battlefield 1942.

[trim lance]

Gives a big feedback on the specialist system eh?

[waxen umbra]

Is my understanding about Portal server hosting correct: Anyone can start up a server with their own custom rules, and potentially play there alone with 127 bots - for free?

[queen hamlet]

I agree

[arctic grove]

P90 anime skins in 2042 I’ll pay $100 for @foggy hornet
Now... add them.

[brittle forge]

I’m worried Portal isn’t going to work lol

[restive trail]

you stoopid man more portal players =. more good times

[proven igloo]

Portal will be fine after the initial rush by everyone and the family dog tries to populate their own server

[marble orchid]

The casual player would more than likely like how specialists play though

[haughty dagger]

You do realize you have to make a portal game mode in order to play rush since AOW won’t have it.

[modern crane]

all I want is to play as a sniper

[next gulch]

it won't work lol, once people realize how shitty the server setup is they'll abandon it

[modern crane]

with every camouflage possible

[haughty dagger]

Just because portal exists doesn’t automatically mean every game won’t have specialists.

[restive trail]

Fuck yeah i want an anime PBX45

[sullen inlet]

and whats the correlation between good times and the best timeline lol

[queen hamlet]

this is true ?

[modern crane]

never to be seen

[haughty dagger]

Give me anime tiddy skin with anime tiddy gun charms

[modern crane]

fuck yeah I want a hentai sniper!

[brittle forge]

Just because Portal exists doesn’t automatically mean every complaint about AOW is instantly nullified

[restive trail]

make the connection if you're so smart

[trim lance]

Cool make one and we good

[sullen inlet]

what

[haughty dagger]

From the way the described it that is how it appears.

[sullen inlet]

Im too tired for this shit

[haughty dagger]

I’m sure I will with specialists only.

[next gulch]

Portal is just maps already made with the same shitty 2042 gameplay slapped on, but oh I guess you create meme modes so it's fine

[trim lance]

[hidden sand]

Portal will still have the downgraded animations and movement, simplified heli physics, unplayable jets.

[waxen umbra]

@queen hamlet
@haughty dagger
What I heard was that anyone can start a server for free, and the server will only run as long as its populated. But I wonder if someone could also populate it with 127 bots and play there alone. Because if like everyone did this (which wont happen of course, but could), theres no way they could have enough servers up and running to support this.

[proven igloo]

You can just recreate AOW in Portal, in fact I'm willing to bet it's the default setting.

[bronze thorn]

Cool dog my dude. You've evidently worked hard on it.

[slim quiver]

Now this we agree on

[modern crane]

guys

[arctic grove]

A lot of mimimi

[modern crane]

may I send a masterpiece?

[trim lance]

Depends which anime

[hidden sand]

Abe skins

[urban olive]

yeah started before beta launched

[modern crane]

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

[haughty dagger]

I think you’re over estimating how many people want to play with bots lol. No one does really.

[sullen inlet]

bots are no challenge

[next gulch]

Killing bots in the beta was the most unsatisfying thing ever

[brittle forge]

Max bots is confirmed as 64

[slim quiver]

its too bad alex isnt online, he sends pics of anime skins @arctic grove

[proven igloo]

The bots were a nice touch, it was better than a partially filled server looking like a ghost town.

[arctic grove]

Dw I got them

[hidden sand]

I'm excited as hell to play with bots by myself

[brittle forge]

Bots are good for practice and testing your Portal modes but not much else unless their AI is improved

[waxen umbra]

Yes but we have seen in the past many custom BF servers that were not fully populated, yet remain being played on by a loyal few. But this time, one can choose to also completely fill it up with bots. Idk, just something that struck me the other day.

[waxen umbra]

Hmm

[arctic grove]

@ EA Ayo can y’all add this $200 I’ll pay for 6 of them

[royal trail]

cursed

[sullen inlet]

I would rather get some slick black and gold camo

[next gulch]

DICE did manage to get bots able to pilot vehicles, very poorly

[slim quiver]

absolutely awesome

[arctic grove]

IMAGINE AN EVANGALION THEMED P90

[brittle forge]

Can we not break the core art direction of the game lol

[marble orchid]

Maybe have a coop squad going. 4-64

[orchid root]

Same

[urban olive]

I do want a few gun stickers in bf2042, but that's a tad extreme 👍

[slim quiver]

it needs to have rei on it

maybe asuka too

[next gulch]

There was a Tesla Truck full of AI and I blew it up, I felt so bad

[royal trail]

the bots in the beta were pure comedy, they mustve been set to very easy or something

[proven igloo]

Can I request some Revy sidearm skins.

[restive trail]

gib

[arctic grove]

OMG IMAGINE A RED P90 WITH ASUKA ON IT

[haughty dagger]

Break the art, shower the subreddit with the salt that could fill a sea, add those anime skins! Give us anime cat ears!

[sullen inlet]

I didnt event shot the bots, complete ammo waste
