battlefield-2042

[solar tinsel]

I think they will, it has a dedicated team

and EA is going full on live service with this

[torpid shuttle]

I hope DICE will add mod tool for creating new map or new weapon... one day ....

[solar tinsel]

I honestly don't see that happening, to be fair

I just think it complicates the ecosystem a bit too much

[arctic grove]

Call of Duty Vanguard is officially released

#pog

[solar tinsel]

Full content creation will require moderation, exchange of files, storage demands...

[brittle forge]

I hope Portal gets a mode where you use the classes the bots have in the 2042 era

[rotund cloak]

its so smart for company to add full modding, like its just free game ideas u can cash on

[solar tinsel]

Well that's the thing, they wouldn't see any money from modding haha, and if people just make killfarm maps, etc. it could cost them money

I'm just saying: I don't see it happening. I could be wrong

[proven igloo]

Yeah, I don't really want to have to download new assets every time I want to join a random portal server.

[desert elbow]

Modders would somehow find a way to add maps from previous games and everything, it'd be great

[torpid shuttle]

I heard there is no battle royale support in Portal.

[solar tinsel]

but I think their focus will be adding legacy content themselves, and expanding on Rules Editor

[solar tinsel]

Well... not technically, BUT

you could probably get something close-ish with the Rules Editor

[torpid shuttle]

Like FFA?

[solar tinsel]

Setup a FFA mode, 128 players (if possible)

yeah

[rotund cloak]

with 128 tickets

[calm echo]

do we know what time the early access begins on 12th?

[mild crystal]

Hi

[torpid shuttle]

FFA: 1 player/1 ticket

[solar tinsel]

eh, well, thats the thing. It wouldnt be TRUE BR, but you could probably fake it

well there would be no tickets in FFA

[rotund cloak]

it wont work cuz br u die and u que another

[solar tinsel]

but you can make logic like, if someone has a death value >0, then when they respawn they respawn with nothing and can't do damage

[radiant prism]

Probably couldn't get any weapon drops or anything like that

[proud scarab]

3am EST

[rotund cloak]

what will happen in server do u just w8 for it to be over

[azure lodge]

Battlefield 2042 | Release (Gold/Ultimate)
Releases <t:1636704000:R> (<t:1636704000:F>) Exact time is an estimate

[calm echo]

ty very much 🙂

[solar tinsel]

right, thats why I don't think a PROPER BR will work

[radiant prism]

Exact time is an estimate

[solar tinsel]

but I'm actually considering making a hunt/survival FFA mode. STILL FFA, but punishing respawn timers, large maps....

minimal hud

so it is FFA, with a pinch of BR feeling

but if you die, you EVENTUALLY come back, and the goal being to have the highest number of points, not "die and be eliminated"

Ha, I guess you could do FFA and if you die, then you automatically respawn IN a MAV or some other dinky gadget and just spectate

[obsidian zinc]

actually, after watching some gameplay on Dragon Valley and FuShe Pass, I don't know man... I want more than just two. :D

[solar tinsel]

It looks like there InputRestrictions() expression too, meaning you could do something like if you die, you can't move, etc.

[rotund cloak]

breakthrough with long respawns, only able to spawn on commander, milsim like, everyone would be alot more careful and not run out in open

[solar tinsel]

wouldn't be fun necessarily, but... eh

[solar tinsel]

yeah I'd like that for sure

I've actually always wanted to do a Conquest variant where you needed to be really careful

Maybe not one-life and done, but if you die, you have a punishing respawn timer

and combine that with minimal HUD, so you really need to be smart about how you play

"Conquest Tactical" perhaps

[proven igloo]

That sounds like it would be something really hard to populate.

[solar tinsel]

probably ha

people don't like to wait

[proven igloo]

Battlefield is the wrong kinda game for that I think.

[solar tinsel]

then again... it WOULD be shorter than requeuing in a BR game

[rotund cloak]

i aint too smart about game ideas but there will be some nerd out there who will make some super cool game mode

[neon portal]

when beta

[radiant prism]

A month ago

[neon portal]

oh...

😔

[brittle forge]

Honestly Portal's true potential depends on exactly what you can do with its script editor. They said you can't do anything like mod in a battle royale but it seems pretty powerful

[obsidian zinc]

I would recommend you not to tell too much about your mode ideas beforehand.

[solar tinsel]

Game's out in 14 days though, 7 with early access!

[radiant prism]

Game releases in two weeks yeah

[stone steppe]

I heard somebody say that Hazard Zone is going free to play, that’s not true, is it?

[neon portal]

😈

[solar tinsel]

ha whatever, people won't remember, and if someone makes it anyway then they can go for it

[solar tinsel]

Not true, at least not true YET

It's not unreasonable something like that could happen, but no, as of now. No F2P component

[midnight verge]

[solar tinsel]

I keep going back to InputRestrictions() that feels like that can have some interesting moments 😆

[proven igloo]

I'll tell you what Battlefield really needs, it's a how to use smoke tutorial.

So many people dropping it at their feet when advancing, instead of on the enemy.

I sure love walking out of a smoke cloud into gunfire.

[solar tinsel]

Time to make a Smoke mode

[fiery solar]

thats the part that makes you feel like youre in a movie

thats why you see balls of smoke appear when the game starts

[brittle forge]

Speaking of tutorials, I hope this game launches with a firing range. I suppose you can make your own but it's always felt like an oversight

[fallow temple]

Does anyone know if we can queue with more than 4 people? I have not seen this addressed by the devs yet

[arctic grove]

Firing ranges need to be in more fps games

[oblique finch]

No, 4 man squad is max

[fallow temple]

Thats not what I asked.

[oblique finch]

outside of that. no info if we can join a server with platoon or anything

[fallow temple]

Okay

[solar tinsel]

I ***think ***4 is the max, although you could likely find ways to gather more folks together for Portal

[fallow temple]

BFV multiple squads can join on one another.

[solar tinsel]

right you probably can do something like that

4 join in

then someone joins them

[fallow temple]

Right right.

[solar tinsel]

I believe it would try to put you on same team

I believe previous games had a flowchart of what to do

[brittle forge]

I hope it would do that but BF's track records with parties isn't the best

[solar tinsel]

try to put in same squad, if not, put on same team, if not, put on enemy team.... and then try to rectify next chance you can

[fallow temple]

In BFV two of us would create a new squad so 7-8 other can join the two squads.

[solar tinsel]

right

[fallow temple]

I'd assume the same thing can be done in 2042.

[solar tinsel]

I don't see why not

[fallow temple]

Just wasnt available in the beta.

[solar tinsel]

you're right though, would be easier if 2042 just allowed 8 player queues or something

[proven igloo]

Actually, I don't think it's been mentioned before.

Will team switching be back with 2042?

I didn't even check during the beta.

[solar tinsel]

I thought there was a button to do that in the menu, but now Im not 100% sure

[brittle forge]

No idea

[arctic grove]

I don’t see why not. But hey I can’t say anything for certain

[fallow temple]

I hoped with the smaller squad size the devs would have some kind of platoon leader where 1 platoon lead can give orders to 3 or 4 squads buts that doesnt seem to be the case. Which is fine. I just hope we can do the piggyback queue like we did in bfv

[brittle forge]

I don't think it was in the beta but I didn't check to see if it was on the squads screen

[solar tinsel]

There was also the "full players list" or whatever

[fallow temple]

there were a lot of QOL features that werent in the beta that will be in the full game. Not sure about the team switch feature tho.

[solar tinsel]

looked like a scoreboard, with no score

[brittle forge]

I'm baffled by this game's scoreboard ngl lol

[fallow temple]

I really hope Dice adds a proper scoreboard. That's the only big gripe I've had amidst all the specialist complaining and what not lol

[brittle forge]

It's not "game sux" levels of big deal but if specialists aren't an "if it's not broke don't fix it" thing the scoreboard certainly is. Literally no reason to change it

[proven igloo]

I'm not too bothered by it. I just realised I only ever used it to see what the number of players on each team were.

[solar tinsel]

I could have sworn that the "full player list" was GOING to be a scoreboard, there was so much empty space

it seemed like a WIP scoreboard

[fallow temple]

If someone goes 2-34, the entire server needs to be made aware. Same goes for the top frag. Thats a big part of playing an FPS game imo.

[fallow temple]

Yes you might be right. The empty space was an indicator that they at least had the idea for it.

[proven igloo]

Why, what could you possible do to make them play better?

[arctic grove]

hopefully they dont go overboard with social justice and platform the game for cat ears

[solar tinsel]

it was definitely like half baked. There was a death icon, platform icon, that's it? ha

[lime oxide]

Not as important in bf games

Its not like cs or cod

[fallow temple]

Thats their issue. If i was 2-34 I would like to know so I can make the proper adjustments to be a better player.

[brittle forge]

"But everyone's a winner on the battlefield!"

• The UI designer

[oblique finch]

UI designer had to finish something last minute after watching netflix the last 3 years

[fallow temple]

yeah that mentality needs to go. We're flying jets into peoples faces but they cant handle a negative KD displayed?

[proven igloo]

But you said the entire server needs to be aware, so how do they fix it?

[solar tinsel]

I think your personal scoreboard is in that "Squad stats board" or whatever

[oblique finch]

"Oh shit, we need that scoreboard this week? Eh... Yea I finished it! >.>"

[brittle forge]

The KD isn't as important but the top scorers certainly are tbh, you can tell who was PTFO'ing and supporting the team the most rather easily

[fallow temple]

Yes. Meaning, a basic scoreboard that everyone can see.

[proven igloo]

So you have no idea how it would be relevant to the entire server.

[fallow temple]

What are you talking about? Are you seriously questioning why a scoreboard is needed in an FPS game?

[solar tinsel]

not my image, but: https://teknoseyir.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/f3e4b9b6a564d98-608x327.jpg

Thats the board from the beta

I mean, SO much room

only showed squad lead and death status

I really get the sense more data's gonna get plugged in there

[proven igloo]

I'm just trying to figure out why the whole server would need to know if someone is going 2-34.

[solar tinsel]

Eh people love to see that shit ha

"Look at that guy getting wrecked"

[brittle forge]

Holy shit you're not kidding, literally nothing there

[solar tinsel]

Ironically enough that was the only scoreboard I could pull up. I think PS5 had an even older build than other platforms

[fallow temple]

So a 2-34 KD should NOT be shown on the scoreboard with everyone else? I am genuinely not following what you're saying.

[solar tinsel]

Even the PLUS menu was different

[brittle forge]

Still, would prefer if a proper scoreboard wasn't buried in a menu tab, but better something than nothing I guess

[solar tinsel]

but yeah I mean, you don't make that UI unless you want to put data in there, right?

[fallow temple]

If you're seriously questioning why a scoreboard needs to be in a BF game then perhaps this game or genre as a whole is just not for you.

[desert elbow]

It's a plus but it isn't needed

[solar tinsel]

could always be keybound perhaps. I know on PS5 you could press or long press OPTIONS and that allegedly brought you to 2 different places, but the latter didn't work for me. AND the touchpad didn't do anything

there was a lot of missing stuff then

[fallow temple]

No? Wouldnt you like to know if a hacker is in the lobby going 74-2?

[proven igloo]

I honestly don't care if there's a scoreboard or not, I'm just trying to establish why the whole server needs to be aware of someone going 2-32.

[desert elbow]

How is that a need? That literally just makes it easier to tell

[solar tinsel]

Yeah this is really the best part about that

[brittle forge]

Still baffled big map and crosscom where missing from the beta but at least they'll be there at launch

[solar tinsel]

To keep an eye out on particular players, if not for cheating, just to see what you're up against

When someone goes 100-0, you might want to look closely when you see their name

so I think it's important info to have

[brittle forge]

Honestly I just like knowing my performance relative to everyone else on at least my team, it's useful info to have

[arctic grove]

Hey noobz

[solar tinsel]

Also: just from a sheer competitive standpoint: "How am I doing?"

[solar tinsel]

am I contributing a lot, etc.

[fallow temple]

I cant even believe this is an actual discussion but its 2021 so i shouldn't even be surprised honestly.

[proven igloo]

It brought up a personal scoreboard and top squads on PS4.

[solar tinsel]

Yeah it might have just been bugged for me or my particular layout

Like I said even the PLUS menu was different on PS5 than PC

[solar tinsel]

showed less information, didn't have green/red change numbers, etc.

[fallow temple]

the fact that you have to explain this is the scariest part out of all of this.

[brittle forge]

The most obvious info to tell if someone is hacking isn't a need? Come on now

[solar tinsel]

or if you see a literally full team of [CLAN] on one side

then maybe you go "eh, not for me"

cause thats a very different experience

[fallow temple]

People questioning why a scoreboard needs to be in an FPS game in the year 2021. Just wait for Bf7, they're gonna question why SMG's are in the game.

[proven igloo]

Good lord it took me a while to figure out how the plus system worked, until someone on reddit told me to use the face buttons. I was getting by just spamming X until the attachments I wanted RNG'd themselves onto the gun.

[solar tinsel]

haha

(PORTAL IDEA)

Every time you reload, new RNG attatchments!

[desert elbow]

It's not NEEDED

[obsidian zinc]

there will be Prime Gaming Loot for 2042.

[desert elbow]

I would prefer if it was there but it isn't NEEDED

[fallow temple]

Definitely not surprising from someone who is questions why someones score and KD needs to be in an FPS game.

[brittle forge]

But I guess this isn't a need but I really like to be able to compare my performance with everyone else with exact data. Seeing that I'm one of the best is satisfying, seeing that I'm low tells me I need to improve

[solar tinsel]

Needed is a strange term though. NOTHING is truly needed, but the lack of it is a strike against QoL features

[flat charm]

Only like a cosmetic skin, details were already released.

[brittle forge]

It's not a need but it's important

[obsidian zinc]

I know.

[fallow temple]

Lets remove all stats while we're at it. Nobody knows what their kd is or points. Nothing. Its not NEEDED to play the game so why have it?

[solar tinsel]

Is there any harm of having one? I think there's more gained from adding it than leaving it out

[brittle forge]

Like a lot of things in games

[proven igloo]

Honestly, if you can see top squads why bother with anything else. I keep hearing people harp on and on about teamwork, squad score should therefore be the only relevant information.

[fallow temple]

For them everything in life is harmful. Having their KD displayed in a video game is the least of their problems.

[obsidian zinc]

I quite like the new overview screen, though.

[brittle forge]

I mean you should at least know how you stack up within your own squad to see if you need to step it up

[solar tinsel]

For sure, it helps with the volume of information 128 players gives

[fallow temple]

Lets remove melee weapons too while we're at it. Its not NEEDED. We just need to shoot bullets right?

[solar tinsel]

but I think that large board likely will eventually have a full scoreboard, there's just so much UI real estate

[brittle forge]

Yeah probably

[desert elbow]

Are you actually serious? You could literally do that if you wanted, those aren't "NEEDED" for an FPS game

You proved my point

[brittle forge]

Siem this is so pedantic lol

[desert elbow]

Exactly lmao, he's crying about something so trivial

[fallow temple]

Right so lets just take it out. Its not needed. Hazard Zone isnt needed either. So lets remove that too. See how stupid that sounds?

[solar tinsel]

I think the point is nothing is needed, but certain quality of life features make a game better, and the goal is to make a game that is as good as possible, not one that only needs the bare minimum requirement

[solar tinsel]

I don't see it as crying, everyone's entitled to an opinion

[desert elbow]

It doesn't sound stupid, it's not needed but it's a welcome addition

[brittle forge]

I'm disagreeing with you. If you take that argument to the logical extreme you're left with graybox environments and shit

[desert elbow]

Of course it's quality of life, but it's not needed

[solar tinsel]

The point is scoreboard is a welcome addition to many too

[fallow temple]

EXACTLY.

[solar tinsel]

I don't think anyone is arguing that it's a make or break feature

but that the game would be better with it

[fallow temple]

If scoreboards arent needed. Where do we draw the line? The fact that this is even a discussion is embarrassing.

[desert elbow]

Of course, I agree with you

[solar tinsel]

Ok, so... why was this conversation happening? lol

[fallow temple]

Lets remove prone. Its not needed.

[desert elbow]

You could, that's my exact point. He's exaggerating by saying he "needs" it

[desert elbow]

Bad Company 1/2

[proven igloo]

TBH I prefer the current arguments over another "rEmOvE sPeCiAlIsTs" one.

[brittle forge]

Ok lads we all agree that's its best if a proper scoreboard is in right?

[solar tinsel]

I'd chalk that up to figure of speech, but I mean, hey, fair enough

[fallow temple]

The scoreboard has been a FPS staple since the beginning of time.

[flat charm]

Battlefield 2042, stupid? Nah, not at all. The only stupid one is the "complainer." Enough said.

[solar tinsel]

obviously it doesn't NEED it, but I do think it's a very welcome addition

[desert elbow]

It's not needed lmao, I agree it's a great addition but you're using the wrong word

[fallow temple]

Words of difficult for some.

[desert elbow]

Evidently

[fallow temple]

Neither are pistols. We dont need them.

[proven igloo]

One that shows team actions like resupplies, heals, revives would be more beneficial than one for K/D.

[desert elbow]

Ok?

[solar tinsel]

I think we can consider this case closed on this topic though

Scoreboard: likely will be there, not a make or break feature, but surprising and untraditional if it's not there

[brittle forge]

So the BF2 socreboard or something similar? I don't disagree honestly

[desert elbow]

[fallow temple]

oh you like Red Dead? No horses in red dead 2. Just walking 4 hours to St Denis. They're not needed.

I need a number 6 with extra dip

We have much more polarizing subjects to tackle now before launch. Scoreboards. Alright im done for real now.

[proven igloo]

That comes to $15.43.

glad in portal the 2042 factions specialists and their gadgets and abilities can be deactivated

[arctic grove]

If you guys ever feel useless remember csgo has battle royale mode

[brittle forge]

What? lmao

[pliant knot]

really they have one?

[solar tinsel]

I don't know if you can outright deactivate specialists from the 2042 faction, but you CAN use a different faction instead

[flat charm]

@proven igloo Want a hershey kiss? They are fvcking great.

[arctic grove]

Yeah

I was thinking earlier, and I think I’m a few years we’ll look back on how everyone complained about specialists.

Then go back to focusing on whatever is somehow wrong with the battlefield that comes out in 3 years

[proven igloo]

Hershey's chocolate just tastes like vomit to me now, it's very unfortunate.

[arctic grove]

Fuck battlefield elden ring is in 4 months

[brittle forge]

I hope you can use the classes the AI bots have for the 2042 era at some point, but I think that era is specialist only unfortunately

[pliant knot]

no no yea, a dev confirmed specialists can be deactivated in 2042 factions in portal, players would use the bots skins I presume

[brittle forge]

Wait really?

[pliant knot]

yea

[brittle forge]

Pls link

[solar tinsel]

interesting. DO we know if that's relegated to Rules Editor (logic) only? Or the standard Builder?

I didn't see that in the screenshots

[arctic grove]

My fav battlefield map is Siege Of Shanghai

[proven igloo]

Does no one read the blog? Yes you can pick and choose which specialists to remove in portal.

[arctic grove]

For me it’s probably that or Golmud

[desert elbow]

Shanghai was definitely a great map, a lot of infantry combat

[arctic grove]

Only downside to Shanghai is how much advantage helis had

[solar tinsel]

Yeah that's known, I think the convo at hand is specifically if you can take the 2042 faction, and toggle Specialists as an entire system off

so you're limited to a generic solider, I suppose

[brittle forge]

No I knew that, but I thought if you wanted to play as a 2042 faction, you needed to have at least one specialist enabled cause 2042 is specialist only with no normal soldier options

[solar tinsel]

That was my assumption as well

[proven igloo]

24/7 Shanghai servers have ruined the map forever for me.

[brittle forge]

Cause we do know you can't use 2042 weapons and vehicles with say BF3 or BC2 characters, the weapons and vehicles are era-locked. (Unless, presumably you steal one from the team in the other era)

[next onyx]

Honestly that's just dumb

Exactly

[pliant knot]

there it is

[torpid shuttle]

No 24/7 server for Taiwan?

[solar tinsel]

I do wonder if that will ever change: the ability to mix and match faction elements. I also don't know if it's a technical limitation

[brittle forge]

Thanks for the source but tbh that can be read in a ton of different ways

[solar tinsel]

For example: if you put EVERY character, weapon, vehicle, gadget, attachment as a possibility.... is that too many assets loaded into memory?

[solar tinsel]

Yeah agreed

hooray word precisison

[proven igloo]

I'd just take a wait and see approach.

[brittle forge]

Seems like the only option at this point

Which is annoying but what can you do

[pliant knot]

portal is my only hope this year

[proven igloo]

It's better than backseat dev-ing and getting people unnecessarily mad.

[proud scarab]

So much pessimism

[desert elbow]

Well that shows you can disable specialist gadgets but we still don't know if you can limit their class loadouts yet, I don't mind tbh

[brittle forge]

I mean I would just ask "is there any option to play specifically as a generic soldier in 2042's era" but I don't think anyone would answer something that specific

[low solar]

Thought the game was coming out the 12th, so early access was the 5th. I was wrong 😦

[solar tinsel]

the one cool thing about Portal's builder though, is being a web platform, they can probably keep developing onto it

[pliant knot]

if they just added classes for specialists and a different character with same ability for each faction, like not even removing them, the community would still be pissed but definitely not as much

[brittle forge]

Nah early access the 12th

[pliant knot]

the specialist system can be improved in so many ways

[low solar]

Yup and official release is the 19th

[proven igloo]

What if I told you classes were still in game, and specialists are just subclasses.

[pliant knot]

idk about that

they certainly didn’t feel like classes, and well they’re called specialists not sub-classes

[solar tinsel]

I liked a suggestion someone made of picking a specialist, and then picking a class specialization for them, which limited gadget selection

So you could have a MacKay Assault, MacKay Support, MacKay Recon, etc.

isn't going to happen - but I liked the idea

[pliant knot]

I read another one of making specialists kinda like the hero system from Star Wars battlefront 2, so when you get a certain amount of points in a match you could use a specialist with the gadget, ability, more health, etc

[solar tinsel]

I do think once we get all 10 specialists in our hands, and tons of gadgets, I think we'll see plenty of build fleixibility for people to play how they want

[brittle forge]

I mean I know about the whole "they're the roles from BFV as characters" argument but I think that's pretty clear specialists have departed a lot and just have the names slapped on as lip service tbh

[solar tinsel]

ugh I would despise that not gonna lie

[elder violet]

is it possible for large jewel clusters rares to have 3 notable skills?

crap wrong discord

[brittle forge]

Bad idea tbh

[elder violet]

nooooo

I NEED TO PLAY POE IN ORDER TO WAIT FOR BATTLEFIELD

DONT JUDGE ME

[low solar]

As long as I have my paddles to revive , and can use them to kill people, I’ll be happy

[proven igloo]

It's just a name. Like how Assault in BC2, BF3-4, and BFV are all different "classes" but still called assault.

[brittle forge]

Could just delete the messages bro it's all good

[elder violet]

no

i will not hide my shame

[solar tinsel]

The thing is, at the end of the day, people can still MAKE loadouts that fit those traditional class roles

[azure lodge]

Battlefield 2042 | Release (Gold/Ultimate)
Releases <t:1636704000:R> (<t:1636704000:F>) Exact time is an estimate

[solar tinsel]

Right, if you wanna be a full on medic, you have multiple avenues for that

[pliant knot]

meh, it gave more sense to the word specialist, so they really feel special

[brittle forge]

I don't like that the gadgets aren't restricted and you can only carry one generic one

the rocket/rep tool combo is literally impossible now

[low solar]

Is there a specialist that can let me run around and gravity slam like BO3 specialist ?

[solar tinsel]

True, although if you look at specialists as a "second gadget slot" you get some build freedom

[brittle forge]

Unless a specialist gets a rep tool intrinsically

[solar tinsel]

right or a launcher

WHICH, Sundance sort of.... does.... ish

[pliant knot]

yea, specialists aren’t classes nor sub-classes, they’re specialists. I feel 2042 should have implemented the BFV class customization with combat roles, soldier customization for monetization and the specialists being the elites of BFV

[solar tinsel]

I feel pretty confident we'll get a repair-type specialist

[next onyx]

They were going to do arch tyles

Types

Fucking useless keyboard

[proven igloo]

But they literally are subclasses, they're even sorted into the 4 "classes".

[solar tinsel]

Maybe they get a fancy repair tool that auto repairs or something

[brittle forge]

Working of the combat roles system would've cool tbh. Before someone says "that's what they did" eh I think they went a bit far

[next onyx]

Recon was to get a paratrooper option with suppressed smgs

[pliant knot]

yea I never saw anyone use the repair tool in beta , since you only have one slot it’s just way better to use a rocket or plates or something

RIP to repair tool

[solar tinsel]

it also didn't give repair points or something either, if I recall, in beta

[proven igloo]

I spent a round being a repair bitch for a chopper, it was very slow at repairing and overheated hella fast.

[pliant knot]

yea they need to check on the repair tool, like encourage players to use it

[solar tinsel]

and thats the thing, they just need to be sure teamplay gadgets are powerful and a strong alternative to combat gadgets

like I'd rather have teamplay gadgets be technically more powerful than combat gadgets

[brittle forge]

I mean some fit it well enough but like what makes Boris an "Engineer" class? nothing of his intrinsics revolves around vehicles unless you equip a generic gadget to make it so

[solar tinsel]

I felt the radius of the kits were too smalll too

[brittle forge]

They were so tiny

[solar tinsel]

He uses technology

He's the sentry engineer

[brittle forge]

You had to be on the Box really

[proven igloo]

Engineer hasn't always revolved around vehicles.

Or the destruction of them.

[pliant knot]

well I mean no matter how good DICE made the repair tool with just one slot for gadget, it’s automatically just better to use any other gadget than a repair tool, specially with vehicles gaining full health very fast after being damaged

[solar tinsel]

Agreed, or at least I dont think it needs to be. Engineer as experts in gadgetry and tech I think is a cool concept

[brittle forge]

Sure it hasn't always been that way but it has since BC at least tbf

[next onyx]

Theyve started out as anti vehicle

And friendly vehicle support

[solar tinsel]

Right Anti-Tank and Engineer were different classes back when, such as BF2

[proven igloo]

In fact Boris would probably pair really well with the repair gadget (if they buff it).

[next onyx]

Its just that anti tank often had rockets as primaries.

[pliant knot]

BFV had the best class customization, the combat roles were awesome

[desert elbow]

I think Boris should be able to put his turret on vehicles, I don't think it would be too OP

[pliant knot]

well turret would be trash regardless so yea why not

[next onyx]

It won't even be that bad

Or good

Itll do its job but certainly not "op"

[pliant knot]

didn’t even got 1 kill with Boris turret in beta

needs just a little buff

[brittle forge]

That's the point tho. You can of course put on the gadget that fits the role, but you also have every other gadget that doesn't. So nothing about the specialist himself really fits the class unless you spec it so. This isn't a bad thing, but it does show that the "they're the classes" concept is kinda an afterthought

[pliant knot]

or maybe it’s designed to not kill enemies, just damage them and mark them

[next onyx]

It scary since it spots you and considering how powerful that is in itself

[proven igloo]

Longer burst would be ideal, enough to make people reconsider their current choice.

[next onyx]

Its meant to keep you away rlly

[solar tinsel]

Hold up.....

is Boris the only Engineer specialist?

(at launch)

[pliant knot]

yea the class system is just dead in 2042

[solar tinsel]

Am I forgetting someone?

[proven igloo]

Indian OP is an engie

[solar tinsel]

no he's Recon I believe

[pliant knot]

really? I though he was on the recon category

[next onyx]

Rao Is recon

[sullen badge]

@next onyx would you say we're good friends?

[brittle forge]

Rao I thought was Recon yeah

[next onyx]

Yesneo

[sullen badge]

Fuck yea, friendship

[solar tinsel]

ohh

Irish is Engineer

interesting

[next onyx]

Isn't he support

Ehhh

[solar tinsel]

Nah he's Engineer

[proven igloo]

Huh, he is recon.

[next onyx]

Nvm

[proven igloo]

I just checked.

[solar tinsel]

BUT, he does fit a mixed role

[brittle forge]

I thought he'd be support but he is engineer officially

[solar tinsel]

I really think DICE has to expand MOST on Engineer-based specialists then

[sullen badge]

All of this doesn't matter if you're sundance

[proven igloo]

I guess one of the upcoming battlepass specialists will end up being an engineer.

[solar tinsel]

Anti-Tank centric specialist, Repair specialist

[pliant knot]

his gadget is pretty bad tho

[solar tinsel]

ironically enough, out of the 2 engineer specialists, neither really have focused playstyles in repairing or anti-tank

[brittle forge]

Like I said them applying the old labels is clearly an afterthought, the assault specialists are really the only ones were I'm like, yeah, that's the assault class

[pliant knot]

like so situational

[solar tinsel]

That really is a blind spot

[proven igloo]

Never mind Irish is the other Engineer https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/game-overview/specialists/kimble-irish-graves

[sullen badge]

Can't anyone use repair tool

[brittle forge]

We don't have any vehicle oriented specialists period

[solar tinsel]

weird, huh?

[proven igloo]

That makes sense considering Irish's gear.

[sullen badge]

Why have a repair oriented class when anyone can use a repair tool

[solar tinsel]

because, then you can make stuff like repair tool + launcher, if you want that type of build

[proven igloo]

There's a medic specialist when everyone can have the medbox

[solar tinsel]

and assumedly their repair tool would be better

[brittle forge]

I imagine one based around BF1's tanker or pilot classes is going to come along at some point

[solar tinsel]

I imagine a "Vehicle Expert" spec. could exist, where their perks pertain to buffing themselves in vehicles

[mossy solar]

Black n Yellow

[solar tinsel]

but so many potentials for Engineer based specialists

[pliant knot]

Angel can revive teammates right?

[solar tinsel]

correct

[proven igloo]

Perhaps we will get a repair engineer with a 2042 EOD bot.

[solar tinsel]

and when revived, they get armor

[proven igloo]

That repairs faster?

[solar tinsel]

I'd love a little Ranger equipped with a repair tool

[brittle forge]

I tossed the idea around of a specialist whose trait is being able to do the BF1/BFV interior vehicle repair, gadget I was less sure of

[solar tinsel]

maybe that's the repair specialist's unique gadget

[sullen badge]

Good thing we don't have classes then

[solar tinsel]

but that's the weird thing
Assault Class Specialists: We have specs. that easily fufil the clear role of being offensive
Support: We have specs. that cleary fill the role of resupply and heal
Recon: We have specs. that fill the role of spotting and intel

yet Engineer doesn't have any specialist that excels with repair or destruction of vehicles

[proven igloo]

Could also auto-spot explosives and "defuse" them.

[mossy solar]

Ooo

[solar tinsel]

that MIGHT be the crux of the specialist problems folks have, and they may not even know it

like, that could be the root of a lot of this

there's a blindspot in a VERY integral role in BF games

Like if there was a repair specialist, you could make repair + launcher. Or if there was a destruction specialist, you could do the inverse

[shy bronze]

[brittle forge]

That and balance among the others doesn't look too great, obviously we won't know until the game is out but Rao and Falck seem less versatile than Paik and Angel in their respective roles

[mossy solar]

but only in this game can you be spider man with lmg

[solar tinsel]

I hear you, although if Falck's syringe buff is indeed good, I can see her being better than the beta

They shoud make her revives INSTANT though with no charge time, or 0.5 sec

[proven igloo]

I wouldn't sleep on Rao just yet. He may turn out to be pretty good.

[solar tinsel]

but @brittle forge you hit it on the nose with "balance" that's what this all comes down to

DICE needs to constantly monitor to ensure everyone can perform well in their roles

[magic smelt]

Zombies trash

[pliant knot]

so falck and angel have like 2 gadgets? defibs for reviving and the syringe pistol and the pack drop-off of angel?

[mossy solar]

@magic smelt you

[solar tinsel]

No it's just the native defib that all soldiers have, specifically Angel can use on teammates, and will give armor on rez

[brittle forge]

Rao kinda depends what his "I can hack stuff on the map" element can do. The exact possibilities of that are a completely unknown

[magic smelt]

I hate zombies

[solar tinsel]

I think his intel feature could be cool too

[proven igloo]

I just feel his abilities might not have translated well in a trailer, gonna need to actually play him.

[solar tinsel]

Seems to be more persistent of a spotting system than Paik's ping

[pliant knot]

yea but I mean, they can revive teammates while the others only revive squadmates right?

[solar tinsel]

correct

[neon portal]

I miss Yugoslavia

[pliant knot]

they’re like the medics from BFV that had the ability to revive teammates without it being a gadget

[brittle forge]

Hacking an enemy player looks useful but it's also a huge risk compared to just shooting the enemy, not to mention the possibilities of teammates killing the guy you're trying to hack

[mossy solar]

you

[solar tinsel]

Paik's ping seems OP, but the range doesn't seem that big and the persistence of the outline isn't very long. It could be super situational, and I don't think her passive is that great either

[pliant knot]

yeah Paik seems more balanced, but who knows how it will be on launch day

[solar tinsel]

do we know if specifically the hacker needs to get the kill? or as long as that player dies within the time limit?

[brittle forge]

I'm honestly more worried about her trait to be honest.

[brittle forge]

No idea

[pliant knot]

personally I think everyone will be running Mackay and Paik, with some using Falck or angel, the medic psychos

[solar tinsel]

ah really? I thought anything that is contingent on being hurt isn't super effective, but I suppose it may have its moments

[tame cobalt]

I wonder if rao's enemy hack has a range limit. It would pair well with sniping

[solar tinsel]

I see Sundance being popular too, just from a fun perspective

[proud scarab]

I can see Espinoza being a frequently used operator

His passive is just too good

[tame cobalt]

[pliant knot]

yea, like just for fun not really for advantage

[solar tinsel]

As much as some folks hate specialists, the really cool conversations we're having about the diversity of them, where they may excel and where they may not, is what I really find promising about the system

[pliant knot]

the explosive resistance? idk

[brittle forge]

This is more because of my experience with a similar ability in another game. Destiny 2 has this exotic gear piece called the One-Eyed Mask, that does basically the same thing (minus a few goodies the exotic had) and it was hell annoying to fight against

[solar tinsel]

Build diversity and loadout freedom is just.... cool

[proud scarab]

Hoooo yeah

[proven igloo]

Late night chat is always better

[solar tinsel]

Wasn't the same case last night HA

[proud scarab]

Late night chats usually better... is what he meant lol

[nocturne kettle]

tbh im more excited for portal than hazard zone

[pliant knot]

I mean Dozer probably just on breakthrough to pass through choke points

[solar tinsel]

true, although Destiny's TTK is higher right?

[brittle forge]

Yeah fairly so

So that might help

[pliant knot]

me too, portal is where my excitement is

[solar tinsel]

love that, will be huge for pushing chokepoints in genera

[nocturne kettle]

yeah after seeing that trailer i got re hyped for the game

[solar tinsel]

I just really like how all 3 modes share persistence

Really smart move in my opinion, to have that connected account experience

[brittle forge]

Hazard Zone is still kinda an unknown for me ngl. Like I know what it is generally but really don't have an idea of how it will play and whether I'll like it

[pliant knot]

yea he will be unstoppable in choke points, bullet shield and explosive resistance, it’s like he was build for metro and locker

[proud scarab]

Lol

[solar tinsel]

I think it will be a fun mode when you want to mix it up from the normal AoW or Portal play

[proud scarab]

Until a 120mm smoothbore tank barrel appears :3

[solar tinsel]

PvEvP is just a cool thing to mix it up in my opinion

[proud scarab]

Buh bye shield lol

[proven igloo]

I'm pretty sure the resistance is going to be pretty similar to armor.

[pliant knot]

lol true i think of all my concerns of the game like destruction and specialist and how beta was but then I remember portal and just brings my souls back to life

[maiden charm]

imagine making a protal game mode where 32 dozers vs 32 dozer pushing each other of the roof. I would call it a sparta game mode

[solar tinsel]

oh snap

[proud scarab]

Do all specialists get armor plates or just Irish and dozer?

[brittle forge]

It's something but I still personally don't have a reason as to why they're better than the classes. I might not ever have one tbh but we'll see

[proven igloo]

In that it's not going to be absolutely game breaking.

[solar tinsel]

did you know Rao's hack can disable Rangers?

[proud scarab]

Love him already

[solar tinsel]

I did not know that

[brittle forge]

You can equip them as a gadget on everyone, outside of that I think it's just them

[proven igloo]

It can also trigger "base defences" and fuck with vehicle systems.

Well 10 hours is more than you think it is. Try the game out and make your decision from there

[wet terrace]

Cause that’s how it worked for the other battlefields

[brittle forge]

Who knows you may end up saving 60 dollars

[wet terrace]

We’re games like bfv released on ea play from@the get go

[brittle forge]

Not true. It was pro-only like this one

When did it go to ea play

[solar tinsel]

I'm not gonna lie, I know a lot of people do it, but I always roll my eyes when people complain about paying for anything and then have their consoles rigged up to gameshare or circumvent purchases

Regardless of how you feel about games, people work on them deserve to get paid for their work

[wet terrace]

I understand, just wanting to know when it will go to ea play for free

[brittle forge]

It came to the vault early tho sometime after Panzerstorm

[wet terrace]

How long after release was that

[brittle forge]

3-6 months after launch usually. Sooner if the game isn't doing well

[wet terrace]

Oh

Oof

[proven igloo]

Time to save up.

[gleaming kayak]

Any idea how much the seasons will cost?

[proud scarab]

Ten bucks maybe

[brittle forge]

No. 10-15$ is a safe bet tho

[proud scarab]

Seems to be standard

[wet terrace]

I have money to buy it it’s just very expensive where I come from so…

[gleaming kayak]

I bought the gold

[brittle forge]

Then the seasons are included with that

[proven igloo]

Luckily the paid season will likely just be cosmetic, specialists and guns are free.

So it's not really necessary to get.

[gleaming kayak]

Mainly bought for the early access lol

[proven igloo]

You also save like $10 if you're into seasons and get Gold/Ultimate.

[tame cobalt]

If there's an alert when you get wallhacked, it would at least help you go into heightened awareness of your surroundings including listening for footsteps for a few moments. And after the first person paik kills, everyone will probably know where she is due to gunshots. So i think a "you've been wallhacked" might be enough of a counter...

[gleaming kayak]

is ping 90+ normal for multiplayer gaming?

[rotund cloak]

not really

[solemn solstice]

usually 63-80 is completely fine for me

[gleaming kayak]

I should be able to download both PS4 and ps5 version on my PS5 right?

[solemn solstice]

but 90 is ok

[gleaming kayak]

I'm hoping so, it was possible with the beta

[rotund cloak]

just do what i told u in server browser, trust me

[torpid shuttle]

I can't check ping in BF2042 beta.

I really wonder. DICE said you will get 1 server (Portal) for free right?

Is it mean server from EA or my local server(my pc) ?

[peak socket]

anything under 100 is good for me

[hidden sand]

If you have gold or ultimate edition, yes

[tame cobalt]

probably an ea server

definitely an ea server, tbh

same as bfv community games

[hidden sand]

Here's hoping there's an option to play locally somehow

[torpid shuttle]

OK thank you. I can't imagine 1 million server in Portal mode.

[hidden sand]

Battlefront 2 had the option for playing directly from your pc with bots, so there is a chance, at least lol

[tame cobalt]

doubt it, since the bots, as they are currently, are being processed on the external servers

[sweet cairn]

@tame cobalt usually you know what's going on you think we will get some sort of map trailer by the end of this week

[tame cobalt]

nuh

launch trailer next week and possibly another map trailer

just my guess

I think the launch trailer will drop thursday

[sullen badge]

Kinda high but I get anywhere from 60-80

Usually mid 60s to low 70s

Depends entirely on your location to the server and not too much about your connection unless you're on like dial up speeds

If you had good bf4/5/1 ping you'll probably have good bf 2042 ping

Since they use the same servers

I know this because I've done extensive traceroutes

[primal gust]

One F week!!!!

Today map trailer ?

[torpid shuttle]

How do you know that?

[tame cobalt]

As long as it's under 100 it's acceptable

[primal gust]

I don’t know.

[torpid shuttle]

Imagine....
DE - CEM - BER

[tame cobalt]

[wintry cape]

when

[azure lodge]

Battlefield 2042 | Release (Gold/Ultimate)
Releases <t:1636704000:R> (<t:1636704000:F>) Exact time is an estimate

[wintry cape]

i mean delay

[short flicker]

good morning can only play the people who have the Gold or Ultimate version?

[azure lodge]

Battlefield 2042 | Release
Releases <t:1637308800:R> (<t:1637308800:F>) Exact time is an estimate

[wintry cape]

why are you talking with bot

[crimson wasp]

here's the release date for non Gold/Ultimate version

[short flicker]

good morning can only play the people who have the Gold or Ultimate version?

[wintry cape]

12 nov > gold-ulti
19 nov > standart

[short flicker]

I saw too late that it is a bot 🙂
thank you

[astral marsh]

Say you already preorder the standard. Could you still I guess upgrade to gold for the early access?

[arctic grove]

If you refund standard sure

[wintry cape]

refund and buy gold

[crimson wasp]

You can cancel your preorder and then order the version you want :)

[astral marsh]

Oh yeah duh lol

That was prob a dumb question

[arctic grove]

everyone is dumb at lots of stuff

[tranquil badge]

But if he bought this with paysafe card, he can't refund it

[wintry cape]

sads

then create new account and buy gold

[tranquil badge]

😂😂

[wintry cape]

and give standart game to your friend

[mortal jetty]

Hi, someone has probably asked a similar question before but; why does the PS5 store say 6 days and 6 hours until early access release? Is that just to be able to download it or is console getting the game earlier than PC?

[tranquil badge]

I'm so excited for the 19th of November finally a present war Battlefield with mix of best battlefields series

[sweet cairn]

For download

[tranquil badge]

And when will be able to download the pc version?

They day or release or earlier

[bold thistle]

Preload starts 10 of november

[tranquil badge]

Thank you

I need to see if I have space for this game 😂

[bold thistle]

probably over 100gb

[astral marsh]

Hopefully they release the final system requirements soon

[hidden sand]

PS5 is 43 gigs, with the day one patch being an extra 45

[bold thistle]

they already have them?

[astral marsh]

I thought that was just for the open beta?

[hazy vector]

it won't differ that much from release

[bold thistle]

well i guess youre wrong

[hazy vector]

probably more disk space needed

[astral marsh]

And wasent that build like 2 or 3 moths old or something

[bold thistle]

if they change anything in specs it will probablt be 3060 -----> 3090

[hazy vector]

something like that. but while it was buggy, it probably wasn't that lessened in graphical requirements

[astral marsh]

True I just was hells hoping that with more optimization towards the end of development the requirements wouldn’t be that crazy high lol

[hazy vector]

there will be optimisation, but it wont cut the avarage requirements down by like 50% this early is my expectation

[torpid shuttle]

Do you mean Bf in 2023 or something?

[bold thistle]

nah, im joking

[torpid shuttle]

😆

By the way...
I have a favourite animal.
It's DESERT EAGLE

[arctic grove]

i play with an rx580 played beta and hit 144fps

[astral marsh]

Yeah true. Well just going to hope it runs a little better than the beta did for me lol

[torpid shuttle]

I expect 100+ FPS with 1080p in full game...

[bold thistle]

i barely got 60 fps on low with 2060

[fiery solar]

at least the game wasnt unplayable or crashed once in beta

[arctic grove]

i played low

[astral marsh]

I have a gtx 1070 and it felt like barely 30 FPS lol

[torpid shuttle]

Maybe beta doesn't optimize yet.

[arctic grove]

it wasnt

[bold thistle]

i know, i didnt say i didnt enjoy tho

[arctic grove]

idk what you guys have open when your playing

[fiery solar]

ok

[bold thistle]

literally nothing else than bf

[astral marsh]

I had nothing in the background

Besides game

[fiery solar]

you believe he got 144fps on low with a 580 and i cant even hit 60 with a 2070

[arctic grove]

ah, discord and twitch open while i play

[arctic grove]

how much ram do you have

with 2070 u could get 70 fps high settings u must have trash cpu

[fiery solar]

4gb

[arctic grove]

TJATS WHY

[bold thistle]

yes, some low gen gpus hit better fps than high end

[fiery solar]

i blame the new nvidia drivers

[arctic grove]

4gb LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

wait graphics card ram?

[fiery solar]

no

[arctic grove]

or just ram sticks

[fiery solar]

ddr3

[arctic grove]

i have 16 gb of ram

[fiery solar]

i dont even think you can play battlefield 4 with 4gb ram

i have 32 i dont think its the ram

[astral marsh]

My cpu is pretty trash though. I5 7500 lol

[fiery solar]

a lot of people were having framerate issues i never have issues on any other games

[arctic grove]

interesting

[bold thistle]

mine is ryzen 7 2700x

[astral marsh]

I assume that’s much better lol

[gilded plover]

i have a ryzen 7 3700x

[arctic grove]

i can play star citizen at 60 fps and nobody believes me because 3090’s barely get 60 :/

[wicked fox]

yes

[arctic grove]

bro my cpu is worse then everyone else here

[hazy vector]

aren't some of the older GPU's so good that the still beat the generations after it? like how the 1080 TI's and titans smoked things after it for a while

[arctic grove]

but titans are titans

[crimson wasp]

GTX 1080ti is pretty equal with RTX3060ti

just doesn't have Ray Tracing

[arctic grove]

my pc went up 500$ this year

[fiery solar]

3060ti less money and ray tracing

[fiery solar]

how do i download star citizen

[hazy vector]

that was the main thing that was new with the cards after it wasn't it? everyone orgasming about raytracing and that DSLS or whatever thing

[arctic grove]

buy it off the site?

[crimson wasp]

DLSS 2.0 is actual great though!

[dreamy hornet]

i expect 6900 fps

the game is hella demanding lmao

keep the expectations low

[arctic grove]

i have a amd 5 2500

[dreamy hornet]

whats ur rig @torpid shuttle

[arctic grove]

and i run the game perfectly

[fiery solar]

2042 beta is the first time i play a game with dx12 and dont get 6fps

why is that

[arctic grove]

because 2042 is just better

my pc cant run warframe in dx12

[hazy vector]

i was just to late for the beta, but i don't think my i7 8700K and R9 290 wil get very high FPS even at 1080

[torpid shuttle]

Do you mean spec?

[dreamy hornet]

yes

[astral marsh]

My expectations are hopefully for around maybe 40-50 FPS maybe 60 all on low lol

[vital cloud]

how do yall think a Ryzen 7 3700x/GTX 1660S will do?

[torpid shuttle]

RTX3060(laptop) + i7-11800H + 32 GB RAM

[rotund cloak]

Remove denuvo and thats 20fps boost

[torpid shuttle]

GENIUS

[dreamy hornet]

lmao forget 100 fps

[torpid shuttle]

Bruh even low setting?

[dreamy hornet]

yea...

[gilded plover]

i was getting 80 on high

[astral marsh]

Well I guess early access people will know in 7 days lol

[arctic grove]

i get 144fps ddr3 16 gb rx580 8gb ryzen 5 2500 over clocked

[dreamy hornet]

cap

straight up cap bruh

[arctic grove]

on beta

no cap

[gilded plover]

full game will be more optimized

[astral marsh]

What about i5 7500 gtx 1070 16 ram?

[arctic grove]

i wouldnt buy ultimate edition if i didnt get at least 60 fps

[crimson wasp]

Got about 100fps all ultra 3440x1440
Rtx 3080 go brrr

[fiery solar]

is it a dumb choice to upgrade my 9400F to a 9700K?

[arctic grove]

yes

[hazy vector]

yes

once you're in a CPU generation, at this point upgrades are marginal inside of it

[rotund cloak]

Im fine with like 80 fps but stable 80 fps not that drops we had in beta from 80 to 60

[arctic grove]

just save for a new cpu next gen

[hazy vector]

a jump from like 9th gen to 11 gen would be bigger

like how i went from 4th to 8th

[arctic grove]

buy a threadripper ez

[hazy vector]

and have 20 of those threads unused?

[arctic grove]

A threadripper is overkill for any game

sure

Not even using its cores and threads

[visual horizon]

uhhhh, Hess... someone's changed your pfp

[arctic grove]

during the beta the russian badger overclocked his pc and it burned his threadripper

[hazy vector]

jesus, it's so early that there's only one mod, one admin, and one trainee appearing online. but heaps of them are permanently set to invisible anyway

[arctic grove]

Then he shouldn't of overclocked

-30k pc

[hazy vector]

sounds like he's just a shitty overclocker

you need to fuck up pretty bad to fry a CPU

[arctic grove]

It's the second time

he bought another pc that day to play a battlefield beta again

Check one of his world of tank videos

[sullen badge]

@crimson wasp your last pfp was better

[crimson wasp]

this is just temporary :)

[sullen badge]

Also did you guys know Hess is Hessuniemi

Mind blown

[arctic grove]

No but I'm out of the loop these days

[crimson wasp]

!!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.

[sullen badge]

I'm gonna get banned one of these days for picking on Hess lol

[crimson wasp]

TL;DR it's automatic, just chat normally and follow the rules

[sullen badge]

He'll forget his morning coffee one day and BAM

[arctic grove]

the new version of the midnight skin looks sick

[dreamy hornet]

@crimson wasp no no
i misunderstood
ive been here for a while xD

[arctic grove]

We literally had a small arms fire of Australian words and didn't even get warned I think you're fine

better then the original one shown

[sullen badge]

Small arms fire lmao

[arctic grove]

I've been playing breakpoint so military jumbo is in my head

[sullen badge]

Yea but Way was supervising

Wasn't he?

[arctic grove]

He joined in I believe

[sullen badge]

Oh ok then see it's fine

[arctic grove]

I think don't quote me

[tranquil badge]

Guys.. Specs for Battlefield 2042
Rtx 3060(laptop)
16gb ram
Ryzen 5800h
Are those good for this game?
Bcs i played beta and I had like 45 fps in medium

[bold thistle]

how do you know you become a regular?

[arctic grove]

hint beta

beta was unoptimized you’re fine

[iron blade]

Just realized i have put 250ish hours into BFV, and have only gotten the final stand gamemode once lmfao

[arctic grove]

bfv and bf1 are bad

[crimson wasp]

That's one more time than me!

[opal wren]

wait for the 12600k bro to be available its the best price to performace cpu to date

[tranquil badge]

Thx

[arctic grove]

You receive an ominous email saying "your next"

[iron blade]

Ok cool man

[tranquil badge]
