battlefield-2042

[pliant knot]

i'd say they should work on the ragdoll physics, in the beta it was hella funny to see how bodies would just make a 360 turn or jumps

[sick meadow]

wanna ask 4k ray tracing can be turn on with amd gpu?

[pliant knot]

like distracting lmao

[solid ferry]

its definitely not easy, but thats why i was saying maybe dont let it attach to helicopters, save the glitchy / laggy appearance

[hidden sand]

Ragdolls were super odd lmao

[pliant knot]

yea

[solar tinsel]

I'm actually not 100% sure if Portal is going to be on early access. Maybe they meant this differently, but per the FAQ:

Battlefield Portal is one of the three main experiences included in Battlefield 2042 and will be available starting on November 19, 2021.

[sick meadow]

i play only 4k resolution..so wanna know if ray tracing can turn on for amd gpu also..if not no problem..more fps

[pliant knot]

F

[dull cedar]

,

[solar tinsel]

maybe they just meant it's available when you can play the game though

and are referring to the global date

[dull cedar]

i think raytracing is for NVIDIA GPU's only, sorry

[solar tinsel]

clarity of language is kind of meh there

[pliant knot]

if there isn't portal on early access then i'll stay with the standard version

[solar tinsel]

I don't know for sure

[slim quiver]

I’m not sure

[solar tinsel]

Early access is 7 days

[dull cedar]

it's 7 days for early access and 13 for the regular release

[solar tinsel]

Im trying to find something that explicitly says what is available at early access

[azure lodge]

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

[slim quiver]

It will be funny to think people will have every unlock in the game by the time standard edition comes out

[dull cedar]

yes

[solid ferry]

i think only for 10 hours or is that the non-pro

[native mantle]

source?

what do you know about the progression system?

[solid ferry]

ahh ok

[slim quiver]

You level up

And unlock

Just like how the beta was

[native mantle]

really sherlock?

[oblique finch]

Can you level down?

[solar tinsel]

It's possible Portal could be there early access. The FAQ doesn't even mention early access at all in general

even for the main game

[hazy vector]

It's not, AMD also has some raytracing capabilty. just not as good as nvidia

[slim quiver]

Don’t need to get like that tbh

Idk why youre saying source like 7 days of people who grind isn’t going to be enough to get all the weapons unlocked in a week long period

[oblique finch]

and staying away from F2P as far as possible

[solid ferry]

easily, someone is definitely gonna have everything XD

[still vault]

I think the key to success for BF2042 is good penguins

[slim quiver]

There will be people who put 100 hrs into that game by the time the week is over

[sullen inlet]

no maps trailer this week?

[pliant knot]

nah, F2P would bring a lot of new players

[sick meadow]

i use ryzen 5600x with rx6800xt..so should be fine then i guess

[pliant knot]

i stay with HZ should be free

[oblique finch]

F2P would also bring unlimited accounts for cheat developers

[dull cedar]

i think the key to success for BF2042 is operation metro in portal

[solid ferry]

it would also bring hundreds of hackers

[slim quiver]

Nah HZ shouldn’t be free

[sick meadow]

i mean rx6800xt

[radiant echo]

7 maps for free no way

[slim quiver]

Just keep it for the players who purchased

[solar tinsel]

I called it

[pliant knot]

there will be cheaters regardless, PUBG wasn't free and it was full of hackers, even worse than warzone

[solar tinsel]

Breakout videos for the next few days

[sullen inlet]

@radiant echopineapples had to die for the trailer

[solar tinsel]

Thats been the format they've been doing

[slim quiver]

Halo is F2P so if you want multiplayer that’s free you got that

[oblique finch]

there is a difference in 20 euro for a game, and 60 euro

[solar tinsel]

they'll do a BF3 breakout vid in a few days too

[radiant echo]

[pliant knot]

PUBG wasn't 20 euros

[radiant echo]

lol

[hot oak]

I like the tid bit about stabbing a pineapple

[solid ferry]

preload november 10th 10:00 UTC for pc

6th november for xbox whaaat

[oblique finch]

$30, rounds out at about 24/25 euro

[gusty jasper]

[hazy vector]

https://twitter.com/Battlefield/status/1456638386366783488 also this

[solid ferry]

when does it release on xbox?

[hazy vector]

global preload timings

[dull cedar]

november 19th (november 12th for early access)

[oblique finch]

There u go

[solid ferry]

then why can they preload on the 6th!?

[pliant knot]

still, problem aren't cheaters but the anti-cheat system

I will just post the tweet, much better

[pliant knot]

there was cheaters on beta

[native mantle]

ok

[gusty jasper]

Can't wait for the datamining to commence

[slim quiver]

It already has

[gusty jasper]

Temporal god

[vocal tusk]

Even more exciting in the Arica harbor gameplay was jets in the map

[hazy vector]

i think that already started as soon as the beta was released

[solid ferry]

surely xbox gets the game earlier than other platforms?

[hazy vector]

...

why would it

[vocal tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/you-get-nothing-gene-wilder-willy-wonka-gif-4982767

[solid ferry]

because 4 day preload advantage, why preload 4 days early to wait the same amount of time?

[pliant knot]

are 2042 factions getting bombers or like another type of jet?

[native mantle]

ok.

[hazy vector]

because the preload is not to make you play earlier, it's to give even people with shit internet the time to download it

[slim quiver]

Technically they do

[grizzled coyote]

stfu Levi

[solid ferry]

so why let xbox download it earlier than everyone else..

[slim quiver]

Xbox gets every single game early depending where you live in the world

[vocal tusk]

The F-35 is a bomber

[slim quiver]

If I change my location to New Zealand I have every game 18 hours earlier

If a game releases early in another country

Change it to that country and it unlocks

[native mantle]

ok.

[arctic grove]

New Zealand's population fluctuates depending on what game comes out

[pliant knot]

ah yea xbox also getting 2042 on game pass i think, on early access i don't know the details

[slim quiver]

This

[solid ferry]

im just thinking it doesnt make sense to let them preload unless they might be able to play early access earlier than other platforms (if they own gold or ultimate)

[slim quiver]

No

[vocal tusk]

Only really matters when games release at midnight

Game Pass Ultimate has the 10 hour trial, thats it

[slim quiver]

I don’t play at midnight anymore on releases

I just sleep earlier and wake up at like 5 or 6 am

[pliant knot]

yea, on beta i was sleep at 1:30 am and then "oh shit beta's on 30 mins"

[vocal tusk]

Unlimited access to the ultimate edition of the game

[solid ferry]

isnt it both versions? both have EA Play standard which is 10 hour trials, right?

[slim quiver]

I don’t want to play games for 2 hours at midnight and just get so tired I fall asleep

[tender folio]

yes, better play when feeling fresh

[slim quiver]

Exactly

[tender folio]

first impression would be better too

[arctic grove]

Switch to new Zealand play for 2 hours sleep at 12

[vocal tusk]

Game Pass ultimate only comes with basic EA Play

[slim quiver]

That’s what I did with the beta

[hidden sand]

You don't gotta call me out like that

[slim quiver]

Not worth it

[solid ferry]

so does standard, at least in my country

[slim quiver]

Switch to New Zealand the day before at 5 am

[tame cobalt]

factual

[slim quiver]

And then it’s unlocked

[vocal tusk]

On all platforms, this is all that comes with gamepass ultimate

[hidden sand]

I'm really surprised the day one patch is 45 gigs

[worthy token]

Will the maps be 128 vs 128 or 64 vs 64??

[scarlet hornet]

Pre-load for Standard Edition is Nov 17th, right?

[slim quiver]

Makes sense tbh

[lean sigil]

Jejshdjebzhbrbs

[vocal tusk]

Read

[slim quiver]

RDR2’s day one was like 40-50 gigs

[hidden sand]

Because if I recall correctly, day one patch is not releasing the 12th

[solar tinsel]

Pre-load is the same for everyone I believe

[vocal tusk]

EA Play pro and game pass ultimate are NOT the same thing

[slim quiver]

It should release the early access day tbh

[hot oak]

128 players total. Therefore 64v64

[scarlet hornet]

I thought I read Nov 17th somewhere for Standard Edition

[tame cobalt]

Sauce?

[tranquil coral]

No early users can preload le 10

[solar tinsel]

*Pre-load available for all players

on the image first footnote

[hidden sand]

I'll try to find the link to it

[solid ferry]

according to the xbox app both are standard ea play, so you only get 10 hours (for both versions of gamepass, the cheapest and the most expensive) (also, this is the perfect amount of time for you to decide if u like the game)

[scarlet hornet]

I've seen it yes 🙂

[indigo flame]

Is literally called the day one patch, not the seven days tilll full release patch

[slim quiver]

Early release has static stats

[tame cobalt]

they are releasing every patch they are able to for then, they're just calling it day zero patch

[slim quiver]

They do not reset

[arctic grove]

So glad they dropped campaign this year

[vocal tusk]

Early Access get the Day 0 patch, there should be another patch on the 19th

[solar tinsel]

For what it's worth, there still may be a patch to download for early access

From whenever they branched the build out for submission to the digital retailers, I'm SURE they've made changes

[vocal tusk]

Day 0 patch was submitted, then resubmitted with more fixes...they have also now submitted the day 1 patch

[slim quiver]

Either way there will be a patch

[solar tinsel]

oh yeah

[hot oak]

I'm glad 2042 is doing something different. Watching Vanguard it's like they remade one of the best cods and it's just fucking boring.

[slim quiver]

I’m liking it so far

[solar tinsel]

Is this the first time in, a long time, that Battlefield has released AFTER CoD? I can't recall, but I thought BF traditionally launched first

[slim quiver]

It’s way better than it’s beta

[vocal tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/kyloren-traitor-angry-starwars-gif-4870086

😆

[solid ferry]

it would have without the delay, so maybe

[hot oak]

I enjoyed the beta but can't bring myself to buy it for 7 days

[arctic grove]

Call of duty has been the same game since call of duty 1

[ionic coyote]

not wrth 80s bucks

[slim quiver]

I might end up playing it after 2042 releases so it was worth

[slim quiver]

Yes

[arctic grove]

Graphics and audio got flashier but core COD gameplay never changed

[solid ferry]

u can just use that argument with battlefield if ur gonna abstract it that much

[ionic coyote]

30 bucks sure but not 80

[indigo flame]

gamer brain disease

[slim quiver]

Formula works, they shouldn’t change it

[solid ferry]

^

[oblique finch]

Dont think so?

[scarlet hornet]

Or it was old data

[arctic grove]

I suppose it is a good “express” shooter game that is accessible for most people

[hidden sand]

Ah it's from Tom Henderson, not sure if I can send that here

[delicate hollow]

ooh

game news

[solar tinsel]

I think it's just one pre-load date for everyone, and then either platform launch restrictions, or the game login portal will keep you out prior to when you can access

[tame cobalt]

I don't understand how "mw but with good maps" doesn't sound good to cod people who apparently loved mw

[slim quiver]

So is BF tbh

Both games are accessible to most people

[oak canyon]

battlefield time

[arctic grove]

The only cod I'm buying cod now is if the campaign is decent bare minimum

[gilded plover]

what xbox gets to preload 4 days earlier

[remote knot]

Can you still pre order?

[arctic grove]

Battlefield should’ve taken the hardcore route imo

[main mango]

real question, what is the LEAST accessible shooter

[polar kiln]

Anyone know a size of the full game yet?

[slim quiver]

Tarkov

[polar kiln]

On pc

[oak canyon]

console player get the advantage

[azure lodge]

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

[remote knot]

And when is the last date when you can pre order?

[arctic grove]

Tarkov

[desert elbow]

Arma 3

[arctic grove]

Arma 3

[radiant echo]

BF2

[gilded plover]

it's rigged i'm telling you

[solar tinsel]

probably 2 seconds before launch ha

before the public launch I mean

[oak canyon]

last night during the vanguard launch i got in the game before most battle.net players

[hidden sand]

@slim quiver , is it fine if I send this post from Tom about the patch release dates?

[chrome atlas]

Wait, when's the earliest we can play the game

[bronze thorn]

lol You gotta have pretty bad internet to need to start preloading on the 6th.

[gilded plover]

console?

[slim quiver]

Honestly I like BF the most out of all the shooters because it’s the most accessible and casual. I never need to take it too seriously or sweat to keep up with everyone

[oak canyon]

when it comes out

[arctic grove]

What’s your guys thoughts on hazard zone? I’m praying it’s a success

[pliant knot]

wait in the website they don't mention breakthrough on portal, just conquest and rush

[oak canyon]

yep

[solid ferry]

there is no benefit to preordering the standard edition right? or am i missing something

[steady pewter]

cant wait

[chrome atlas]

bruh

[radiant echo]

Well but you can do that

[gilded plover]

😭

[solar tinsel]

I hope it does well, just because I want to see some sort of PvE experience succeed in the franchise

[oak canyon]

theres no early release for anyone you can play it when it comes out

[main mango]

100Gs is what is recommended on the steam store page

[arctic grove]

If it’s anything like the trailer it will be the best gaming experience of all time

[slim quiver]

Those are just rumors tbh, I wouldn’t take them super seriously tbh

[sullen inlet]

expected more from HZ after all the hype dice tried to styr up, but its w.e I got EFT to play

[oak canyon]

im deleting cold war for bf2042

[solar tinsel]

Yeah, although a rumor of PS5 size had it clocked in at 42GB, without patches

[slim quiver]

You can sweat if you want, it’s just not needed to play well

[vestal lichen]

can't wait for all the leaks tomorrow

[oak canyon]

gotta have a good impression of the 120 frames

[oblique finch]

why does xbox get pre load so early

[arctic grove]

Agreed. I like the Tarkov style PvPvE game modes. It’s a good break from just constant PvP sweating

[solid ferry]

for what?

[hot oak]

Warzone and Cold War went bye bye for 2042. My SSD nutted

[solar tinsel]

exactly

[main mango]

cause it takes a very long time for Xbox

[gilded plover]

i guess xbox players can get us a rough size for pc/ps5

[pliant knot]

BF has always been casual, new movement felt sweatier definetely but not as much as warzone

[oak canyon]

lemme tell you a story on how last night console players had an easier time connecting to vanguard servers when it launched

[solar tinsel]

I like how it's shared seasonal progression too, so you can do whatever you're in the mood for

[solid ferry]

maybe they will announce an earlier - early access period for them?

[pliant knot]

also they nerfed movement

so huge props

[slim quiver]

New movement is more sweaty but still not cod tier yet

[flat charm]

Xbox Series X|S & Xbox One: in 16 hours (Saturday, November 6, 2021 3:00 AM)

[oak canyon]

fov slider quesiton mark

[radiant echo]

Yeah agreed

[pliant knot]

yea

[flat charm]

So console plays sooner?

[oak canyon]

cod tier movement is cancer

[solid ferry]

loads sooner* (so far)

[solar tinsel]

no thats just preload

[hidden sand]

New movement is a huge downgrade in comparison to V

[slim quiver]

True

[pliant knot]

game pass will give you 10 hours on early access but thats it

[tranquil kettle]

there s no 120 fps support on console btw

[oak canyon]

have you heard of the xbox series s

[pliant knot]

ngl i liked BFV movement mechanics better but hey, innovation

[solar tinsel]

I think they mean in BF2042 specifically

[tranquil kettle]

have you heard of the devs said that it wont support it

[hidden sand]

"Innovation" lmao, if only it actually were

[tranquil kettle]

typos

[oak canyon]

then whats the xbox series version for then

[solar tinsel]

2042 doesn't have 120Hz support on consoles, at least at launch, they're considering for future

[arctic grove]

They should make transverse sprint a bit slower and allow crouch running, rolling out of falls etc

[oak canyon]

i said frames not hertz

[vocal tusk]

I too enjoyed being knocked off my feet at every medium sized explosion in BFV

[tranquil kettle]

they actually thats its almost impossible

[feral plover]

they said that even decreasing graphics, it would be very hard to hit 120

[tranquil kettle]

since the cpu on the console is too weak to handle 120 fps and 128 playeds

[arctic grove]

Crouch sliding they will nerf I think

[pliant knot]

well, i don't think new movement is innovation, just something you'd expect from a new BF game

[arctic grove]

[tranquil kettle]

afterall even on pc it was hard to hit 120 fps

[hidden sand]

It was a great feature, along with the optional combat role.

[oak canyon]

ever heard of unloading and reloading assets within a specific vicinity

[solar tinsel]

true, but you'd need a 120Hz output mode to have a mode that targets 120fps

[tranquil kettle]

well you can play at 4k (upscaled) and 60 fps

[solar tinsel]

and it probably wouldn't always be 120fps

[pliant knot]

like the gunplay, felt good in 2042 but its what i expected so i wasn't really surprised

[onyx oar]

beta when?

[indigo flame]

What’s a Narrative Dees

[pliant knot]

is beta over guys

[oak canyon]

no more betas till release

[solar tinsel]

already happened

[vocal tusk]

OOF, worst feature in a BF game. thank god Animationfied V is in the past

[solid ferry]

you guys buying on steam or on EA desktop / origin?

[ionic coyote]

is this real or satire?

[tranquil kettle]

thats not how it works, the cpu still needs to calcute too much data to handle 120 fps probably

[arctic grove]

Real

[slim quiver]

What sucks is I’m the only one out of my friends getting 2042

[oak canyon]

call of duty does it why cant battlefield

[tranquil kettle]

also that

[solar tinsel]

Im sure it could still be done, but they would need to reoptimize the game for it

[candid linden]

Game bad

[solar tinsel]

It's been said they'd consider it

[ember heath]

Bf2042 will make you feel inspired to fight climate change

[modest sparrow]

Can anyone tell me how to get/buy the full 2042 soundtrack? I can’t upgrade my Gold edition to ultimate

[desert elbow]

BF5 Animations were amazing, why didn't you like them?

[ember heath]

Climate change is real

[onyx oar]

I feel your pain

[tranquil kettle]

because bf literally has tornados ... 128 players tanks etc

[oak canyon]

hey champ thats really interesting
next time keep it to yourself

[pliant knot]

wdym, revive animation in BFV is definetely better than the one in 2042 beta

[arctic grove]

@tranquil kettle Dont bother they won't understand

[vocal tusk]

Too many animation for every little thing = annoying

[ember heath]

If you don't fight climate change the world will become like Bf2042

[ionic coyote]

wat does a narrative do? like create the story of the game|?

[candid linden]

New I would trigger someone

[pliant knot]

BFV animations and mechanics were awesome, animations were immersive and cool

[flint frigate]

Never played battlefield, is the new battlefield worth buying?

[slim quiver]

Yeah exactly

[tame cobalt]

Animationfield is out, sandboxfield is back on the menu

[oak canyon]

new

[tranquil kettle]

lol

[oak canyon]

also im not triggered

i could care less

[solar tinsel]

Do you enjoy large scale FPS games? s9rroy wrong reply

[vocal tusk]

Yes...let me just take 4 seconds to change seat in a bomber...2 seconds to get into the back of a vehicle. This is pure enjoyment

[solar tinsel]

Do you enjoy large scale FPS games?

[oak canyon]

stroke

[tranquil kettle]

if you want to play a classic battlefield game go for battlefield 1, if you like the new one wich is kinda different from the other ones go for it

[ionic coyote]

so u do care ?

[oak canyon]

stroke

[oak canyon]

no

[flint frigate]

Yes

[torpid shuttle]

wait preload tomorrow?

[vestal lichen]

the game? preload is tomorrow

[desert elbow]

Not really lol? It makes it more fluid

[oak canyon]

for the xbox and ps5 gamers

[onyx oar]

not sure what platform you are on but if you have ea play or xbox game pass you get 10hours to try out the game 😉

[solid ferry]

oh like datamines?

[solar tinsel]

I'd say you'd probably like it, but if you're on the fence maybe wait to see reviews. Have you seen gameplay at all?

[slim quiver]

Ngl I kinda liked it. But I guess I don’t want to hear any immersion arguments anymore. Especially if people prefer to just teleport into a vehicle

[arctic grove]

@tranquil kettle could also just sum it up like this, cod prioritised frame rate over graphical fidelity

[tranquil kettle]

also a dev specifically said that they re already hammering the cpu too much, thats why

[oak canyon]

shit nvm

[torpid shuttle]

Thank you

[sullen inlet]

who needs 1 week to preload XD

[feral plover]

you cant really compare cod to BF for this.. 128 player vs 6v6 and the map scales are VERY different.. Battlefield has ALOT more going on at any given moment on a much much larger scale

[oak canyon]

no ps5 gets it on the 10th

[tranquil kettle]

and also cod doesnt have all that stuff to render

[pliant knot]

well wait till the guinea pigs try it out, see for yourself how the game looks and all, what it can offer and if see if you can buy EA pay for one month and get 10 hours, play it and decide if you like it or not

[oak canyon]

sorry misinformation moment

[hidden sand]

It was infinitely better to have vehicle animations, imo.

[arctic grove]

Smol map lmao

[slim quiver]

I agree

[idle summit]

What does preload mean? i can download the game so i dont have to download it the Day it comes out? And how do you play it earlier? Do i have to Pre order it?

[slim quiver]

It also created balancing to vehicles indirectly

[oak canyon]

ive tried 5 and this one seems appealing

[slim quiver]

Vehicles are strong as hell

[desert elbow]

^ I really don't see a downside, if there are enemies shooting then simply don't get in/out

[vocal tusk]

Even DICE disagree with you, so there is that lol

[tranquil kettle]

no ps5 is download on the 10 th and you can play on rhe 12th

[torpid shuttle]

Why xbox get pre-load first?
Other early access preload???

[oak canyon]

you need to preorder to preload

[slim quiver]

Shooting someone getting into one was normal

[craggy marten]

Wait, you are telling me that the narrative still needs work?

[solar tinsel]

exactly, preload is so you can download in advance

[vestal lichen]

yeah

[tranquil kettle]

early acess is 12 th for all platforms

[oak canyon]

have i told you a story about how console players specifically xbox had a better time connecting to vanguard servers on launch day last night

[craggy marten]

Did someone get fired? Oh dear.

[vocal tusk]

Wait...youre telling me they are making post launch content?

[solid ferry]

did that happen with bf5? (i didnt play)

[ionic coyote]

yea still happens in hll

[idle summit]

Ok thanks!

[slim quiver]

Yup it’s great

[torpid shuttle]

Not yet. But thank you for sharing.

[limber kestrel]

so uh

operation metro when?

[oak canyon]

theres my story

[hidden sand]

People being able to escape getting blown up in a vehicle again is kinda lame imo, too

[oak canyon]

the end

[flint frigate]

Yea, i saw most of the trailers

[pliant knot]

not only immersion but overall coolness, like when a big explosion in BFV would make throw you on the supine stand

[oak canyon]

vanguard servers are probably booming rn

[vocal tusk]

I forgot that game devs finish all the games content, then stagger its release throughout the games life!

[turbid rapids]

maybe in portal?

[solar tinsel]

Not for some time I imagine! but then again, you can make a Portal map with 128 players on a smaller map size and, well there you go

[oak canyon]

cant wait for battlefield tho after spending $90 on my preorder

[tranquil kettle]

if you preordered the game, you can play ot on the 12 th and you can also download it earlier like the 10th, you need gold/ultimate edition or xbox game pass or ea play or ea play pro

[limber kestrel]

eh rather wait for the map itself

[solar tinsel]

I'd guess Portal will cycle through other games first

and BF3 already has its 2 maps

[tranquil kettle]

if you only bought the standard version you can play on the 19th

[slim quiver]

Yeah that was awesome

[oak canyon]

if you preordered the game you can play it when it comes out

[arctic grove]

I haven't heard anything about the game since it came out not even the annoying complaints cod players have

[solid ferry]

does anyone know if it will force me to use origin (and not EA Desktop) if i buy on steam?

[pliant knot]

wait really? i though vanguard was giving preference to play station

[torpid shuttle]

Metro (Small layout mode): 128 players + friendly fire on (No penalty)

[slim quiver]

Yup absolutely

[oak canyon]

they didnt apparently

[tame cobalt]

the narrative team isn't gonna go on a 12 month break when a new game releases, they probably need to work on post launch content as well as preproduction for the next game

[solar tinsel]

Just as far as marketing goes

[oak canyon]

since i had a better time connecting than my ps4 friend

[idle summit]

I only pre orders the standard edition and not gold, so That means i can’t play the 12th? Sad :(

[craggy marten]

That's what I mean.

[solar tinsel]

EA / Battlefield is the same with Xbox

All just marketing PR deals

[lucid trench]

cant wait to pre load like 120 gb

[oak canyon]

maybe it was because they were overloaded with players that needed to connect

[craggy marten]

Like, they gotta atleast have something done for the first 4 seasons.

[tame cobalt]

o guess i replied wrong person

[tranquil kettle]

no you dont have early access but you ll be able to play 1 week later

[pliant knot]

yea, also the revive animation in BFV was cool, 2042 beta revive animation was like a hybrid between BFV were you couln't move and BF4 with the defibs, didn't like it

[limber kestrel]

i just saw that caspian and canal is gonna be in it

not metro tho, if they can confirm it will be released ill just insta buy

[oak canyon]

wah happen

[vocal tusk]

Vehicle animation lost us tank stealing, rendezook in planes ETC. Immersion while sacraficing fun

[turbid rapids]

have fun

[tranquil kettle]

bf1 revives were so good

[craggy marten]

Jury vvsmori

[tranquil kettle]

quick and easy

[idle summit]

Sounds epic! Thank you!!

[arctic grove]

is there a specific reason as to why xbox pre-loads faster ,or just marketing stuff ?

[oblique finch]

so the timeline now is.

6 November Pre-load Xbox X/S, Xbox One
10 November Pre-load PC, PS5, PS4
12 November Early Access for
-EA Play (10 hours trial)
-EA Play pro (Unlimited Access)
-Gold edition
-Ultimate Edition
** 19 November** Full Access all platforms and versions

Did I forget anything?

[oak canyon]

i hope guns have secret reloads

[desert elbow]

You could still steal tanks & it introduced more fun

[pliant knot]

indeed,

[arctic grove]

Simple solution don't go (I've never had jury duty don't hurt me)

[vocal tusk]

And tanking in 1/V is also really casual with auto heal buttons

[pale juniper]

could be marketing since ea play is in game pass ultimate

[slim quiver]

Didn’t like it either

[oak canyon]

id assume its because xbox and ea are bffs because you get ea play with game pass ultimate

[solid ferry]

is there DEFINITELY 10 hour early access? asking because 2042 doesnt have the "play" logo on the app

[ionic coyote]

nah too many trolls tk at spawn dont like it

[arctic grove]

I hope animation mechanics are like battlefield 5

[oblique finch]

https://www.ign.com/articles/battlefield-2042-is-getting-a-10-hour-trial-for-ea-play-and-xbox-game-pass-members

[onyx oar]

there's no play button cause the game aint out?

[arctic grove]

makes sense

[oak canyon]

when

[tame cobalt]

Bf3 and bfbc2 have too many classic maps... would be a shame if they didn't focus on adding more from them

[slim quiver]

Thing is people are fine for that for different things. They want to sacrifice some things for immersion sake and then other things they’d rather sacrifice immersion

[tranquil kettle]

iirc also with xbox game pass its 10 hours

[solid ferry]

no, the EA PLAY button haha, not launch game

[oblique finch]

Battlefield 2042 will be getting a 10-hour trial for members of EA Play, starting on November 12.

[arctic grove]

yes agreed

[solid ferry]

ty

[oak canyon]

[onyx oar]

ah that's prob just EA play being EA play

[oak canyon]

cant wait tho

[ionic coyote]

im counting on them adding vietnam for sure

[oak canyon]

:(

waiting is lame

[slim quiver]

It’s the same thing when BF fans want more realistic elements in the game, it’s sacrificing fun for immersion

[tranquil kettle]

ea play pro is unlimited

[oblique finch]

ea play pro get unlimited access to ultimate edition

[pliant knot]

immersion is fun, definetely game wasn't less fun because the animation of getting into a tank

[oak canyon]

anyway im preordering battlefield 7 rn

[tame cobalt]

i mean they should add more bf3/bc2 maps

[hidden sand]

The weapon bob/camera bob is awful atm, honestly. It feels extremely stiff and the animation just doesn't look good. Vaulting practically has no animation anymore either. Animations and detail is severely downgraded this time around, sadly.

[solid ferry]

if you have ea play pro (NOT gamepass ultimate) then it will be unlimited i assume?

[oak canyon]

not exactly its probably the same

[vocal tusk]

For you maybe. I hated it.

[brittle forge]

Honestly I liked entry and exit animations for at least for tanks, musical tanks in BF4 was fucking annoying even from a goofy let’s have fun perspective

[slim quiver]

Glancing blows is more realistic, but people hated it because it made things more inconvenient

[shadow imp]

I want grad bazaar

[oblique finch]

game pass ultimate is NOT the same

[hidden sand]

Wait is that gone too?

[solid ferry]

gamepass is on pc, idk whats funny lol

[slim quiver]

Who knows

Was there glancing blows in the beta?

[oak canyon]

no im saying the same amount of time

[brittle forge]

Glancing blows were fine

[onyx oar]

I'll do you one better, what's glancing blow?

[solid ferry]

nah like EA play pro is unlimited, but standard is a trail. Gamepass only comes with standard

[brittle forge]

The hit detection for them could be a bit dodgy tho, that’s were most of the criticism was

[hidden sand]

I can deal with the loss of glancing blows as long as there is still weakpoints on the tank

[solid ferry]

then you will definitely get 100% access to the game, no trial

[oak canyon]

you cant even buy ea play pro on console yet they advert it

[ionic coyote]

ass of the tank should always be weak point imo

[slim quiver]

Basically when you shot a tank at the angled armor and it did barely any damage because it’s essentially if the shell just bounced

[nova idol]

EA Play Pro includes the full game for as long as your sub is active

[hidden sand]

Being able to blow up the engine of a tank in BFV was so fucking satisfying visually

[slim quiver]

Tracking and destroying components in a tank should be possible

It makes very well placed shots more rewarding

[scenic tartan]

its annoying that I cant upgrade to gold with the copy that came with my SN750SE SSD

[hidden sand]

Hopefully

[pliant knot]

no but they haven't said anything about them, i didn't mind them in BFV, i though it was cool innovation of progress, not a pay to win system, balanced abilities, overall it was cool, you could mix abilities and have a different vehicle and gun playstyle for every situation

[mellow girder]

I have when they prioritize one platform over another for release dates

[tranquil kettle]

game pass is for xbox, afaik it includes ea play (non pro) that comes with 10 hours trial if you have the pro version you get unlimited access

[scenic tartan]

I have to wait for regular release on pc

[slim quiver]

But the problem is vehicle players complain because it’s inconvenient for them

[oak canyon]

cool

[brittle forge]

The only time exit animations were annoying was in planes, were you couldn’t bail out before the enemy pilot destroyed your plane which did get annoying. But I also understood why the did it

[scenic tartan]

"I ANT PUYING THIS GAME IM SMART GUIZ"

[tranquil kettle]

ok

[scenic tartan]

congratulations go tell someone who cares

[pliant knot]

i think its in the final version, but they deactivated it on the beta

[brittle forge]

Pretty forlorn hope unfortunately

[scenic tartan]

coping ea haters should get a job

[charred cedar]

Can someone do the when command please

[pliant knot]

also the point markers, i think they should be below of the UI and not in the right

[oak canyon]

Battlefield 2042 Xbox Series X|S Gold Edition
$89.99

uhhhhhhh

[tranquil kettle]

also xbox is partner with ea on 2042 so thats also probably why

[arctic grove]

I'm depressed not sad you lump of fuck

[hidden sand]

Sweaty vehicle players*
I enjoy vehicles way more than I do infantry and this shit just adds to the game and makes it more fun, imo.

This goes for sweaty infantry who cant handle vaulting animations, too.

[shadow imp]

why do you even come in here to complain

[oblique finch]

\o/

Welcome to the early access gang

[brittle forge]

Evim I’d agree with you normally but you’re in here just to bait clearly

[onyx oar]

soon soldier o7

[tranquil kettle]

i got the ultimate edition in august lol

[oak canyon]

4 free battle passes put me on the hook

[charred cedar]

I preordered I liked the beta

[scenic tartan]

you're free to clown yourself all you like here

[solid ferry]

i dont see the issue, if u play the beta and you like it, then you preorder, whats the issue?

[scenic tartan]

you can jump right in the clown car and beep that horn

[brittle forge]

I don’t like people who suck this game’s cock nonstop without playing it either but baiting them into arguing with you isn’t good either

[vocal tusk]

Part destroying was in the beta

[tranquil kettle]

dont you have something better do to?

[onyx oar]

the guy's a troll just leave him be

[visual horizon]

speech*

[scenic tartan]

you cant even spell dude

[arctic grove]

It's called contrast

[onyx oar]

peaches*

[solid ferry]

i know but its funny when they ignore valid responses (wrong reply) @onyx oar

[shadow imp]

i will

[hidden sand]

Nice 👌

[slim quiver]

I love vaulting animations

[scenic tartan]

EMJOY PUYING GAME

[brittle forge]

What?

[charred cedar]

When does early access come out?

[arctic grove]

@viral meteor it's NNN change your PFP smh

[tame cobalt]

Enjoy coping with not being in the target audience anymore

[limber kestrel]

ill wait till release, bug fixing, benchmarking, and then, after operation metro releases, ill buy

[slim quiver]

The movement in BFV was so freaking good oh my god

[scenic tartan]

fingers are too sausagey to hit correct keys

[onyx oar]

thanks I will 🙂

[tranquil kettle]

i mean you re literally just complaining in a bf discord

[arctic grove]

Contrast basically see the bad in stuff you like

[tranquil kettle]

indeed

[hidden sand]

It really was.
Those animators are unreal man. It's crazy how well and fluid it worked. Looked so good all the while.

[onyx oar]

very original aint it

[solid ferry]

nice

[oak canyon]

"if it doesnt have a battle royale its gonna die"

[tame cobalt]

Cope harder

[pliant knot]

yes, top tier, not sweaty as cod but faster and more fun, more dynamic than previous titles

[dull cedar]

you haven't even played the game

[brittle forge]

Good thing they scrapped most of it, am i right?

[hidden sand]

It was a natural evolution of BF4 and BF1s movement. So frustrating that they scrapped all of it.

[scenic tartan]

its sad when you just hate everything

im sorry you're sad

[solid ferry]

🙂

🙂

[scenic tartan]

i hope you can find something to be happy about soon

[pliant knot]

yea, also animations, BFV had the best animations in the saga in my opinion

[tidal saffron]

@viral meteor glad 🙂

[hidden sand]

If you wanna talk about innovation, BFVs movement is a perfect example.

[ionic coyote]

[onyx oar]

thanks, also ea doesn't make games 🙂

[brittle forge]

Evim knock it off. It’s fine to dislike 2042 but quit insulting people that like it

[oak canyon]

why dont you try making a triple a game yourself and we'll see how that goes

[crimson wasp]

Alright as this conversation devolved into insults

[scenic tartan]

why dont the mods just ban people who show up trolling and trying to start arguments like this?

[crimson wasp]

Im going to kindly ask you guys to move on

[pliant knot]

i wouldn't say they're morons, beta was buggy sure, only solution would be not to pre-order or buy if the game comes out as trash

[solid ferry]

🙂

[oak canyon]

so guys

[slim quiver]

No tact sprint either

[oak canyon]

lets discuss this sticker

[scenic tartan]

leading up to launch if you are just here to rag on the game or EA just yeet them into the sun

[solar tinsel]

It's really because one specific person came in and started trolling and insulting, that's how that starts

[pliant knot]

and it was still awesome

[tidal saffron]

@arctic grove lol you have a girl as PF, how typical

[dull cedar]

me when playing battlefield 2

[limpid anchor]

when can we pre load gold edition on ps4??

[dull cedar]

november 10th 00:00 UTC

[onyx oar]

#game-news

[solid ferry]

🙂

[limpid anchor]

Thanks

[ionic coyote]

when can i post gifs?

[rare spoke]

hmmm

[scenic tartan]

[oak canyon]

i am gay how did you know

[pliant knot]

makes me think if glitches in BF games are more likely mechanics than glitches

[brittle forge]

You’re not trying to have an actual conversation. This accomplishes nothing and makes people who don’t like the game look bad

[solid ferry]

🙂

[solar tinsel]

@crimson wasp and there's that troll

[scenic tartan]

please ban

[flat charm]

Don't talk back to admin bro. Lets all keep peace here please. BF 2042 is the topic here.

[dull cedar]

we do like girls. we don't like assholes. touch some grass bro

[oak canyon]

i like girls im dating one
hence im gay

[scenic tartan]

please ban vadim

[onyx oar]

makes sense

[tidal saffron]

@viral meteor sorry i dont need internet to see a girl

[scenic tartan]

just here to cause trouble

[oak canyon]

she/they would work, honestly dont mind he tho ur good :)

[solid ferry]

isnt calling someone gay against this servers rules anyway?

[ionic coyote]

😭

[arctic grove]

Gay isn't offensive it's just a thing these days

[oak canyon]

i mean i am gay so what else are you supposed to call ME?

[solid ferry]

yea but they used it in that kinda way (it was used an an insult, not a question)

[hidden sand]

I just don't understand why they would scrap BFVs nuanced, improved, gorgeous looking movement for this basic, stiff, and very uninspiring movement lol.

[solar tinsel]

Not "talking back" just addressing a server matter with an admin

[pliant knot]

well @oak canyon said "hence im gay", i just said "hence he is gay", like im just confirming to hence guy

[ionic coyote]

when can i post gif?

[pliant knot]

dont know who is hence

[oak canyon]

im not a guy

[crimson wasp]

Lets just move on guys! :)

[oak canyon]

ok

[rapid vortex]

^

[oak canyon]

what if

[scenic tartan]

thank you

[oak canyon]

garand in bf

revolutionary

[dull cedar]

what if
commander mode in portal

[onyx oar]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-dance-happy-yay-dance-cute-gif-19818615

[scenic tartan]

I actually tried learning how to use the PFLEIGER FAUST and it works good and is fun

[brittle forge]

So BFV movement. Real genius move for this game to scrap almost all of its mechanics ngl

[oak canyon]

no WAAAAAY

[arctic grove]

@crimson wasp should make a command when the chat gets hectic like that it will flood the server with cute animal pictures

[ionic coyote]

so when?

[oak canyon]

how long do you have to be in the server for regular again

[scenic tartan]

I think that there just needs to be a rule if you're here just trolling EA or DICE or BF you get a warning and then ban

[arctic grove]

2 minutes give or take a year

[hidden sand]

That's why it frustrates me when people talk about this game innovating movement, it just really isn't lol.

[noble ruin]

Preloads soon 👀

[oak canyon]

A YEAR, YES.

[scenic tartan]

there's so many EA trolls on the interent who think they're smart

[tame cobalt]

Not soon enough 😩

[rapid vortex]

!!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.

[pliant knot]

pilot community in BF cried so hard they nerf it to oblivion

[brittle forge]

The only thing I would call an innovation for this game is portal. All of the AOW changes are either sidegrades or following trends

[onyx oar]

I dunno, just be a decent human being and not before long you will become a regular. All depends on attitude from what I've seen

[ionic coyote]

im active almost daily fr like 2 -3 months

[brittle forge]

They buffed it back up to be fair

[arctic grove]

Cant pre load game until 10th :/

[scenic tartan]

@pliant knot what? someone can actually shoot me down from the ground?? REEE

[tidal saffron]

@pliant knot tbf 100-0 pilots just ruin the game

[oak canyon]

then i shall move this server to the top of my list

[pliant knot]

literally, they can't stand it

[hidden sand]

Yeah, Portal is legitimately the only actual innovation in the game. Just faction locked content holding it back, which is pretty major, but still. It's pretty crazy that Portal is even a thing in this day and age.

[pliant knot]

specially heli pilots, jets were ok i think, bombers however in BF1 and BFV were yea too OP

[oak canyon]

no bf1 portal on launch makes me sad

[tidal saffron]

bf1 carpet bombers ;Oooooo

[tribal minnow]

Cant wait

[brittle forge]

I’m very active but I don’t praise the new game nonstop so there is that

[oak canyon]

i want the kolibri

[tidal saffron]

they were good for revives tho 🙂

[scenic tartan]

I think the bombers were pretty easy to kill if you had a competent pilot

[onyx oar]

Just the high alt bomber in bf1 that has wack balance, still malding over DICE not deleting that bomber from bf1

[pliant knot]

also the pilots in BF are so toxic

[arctic grove]

I got a perhaps when I asked

[ionic coyote]

[oak canyon]

shiit

[tidal saffron]

@scenic tartan yeah but so many can spawn

[hidden sand]

Star Wars content in Portal when

[brittle forge]

Never lol

[oak canyon]

cant wait for the silly 5 dps weapon

[brittle forge]

Disney would never allow it

[oak canyon]

with 6 rounds

[dull cedar]

based

[hidden sand]

I would kill for the next Battlefront to have it's own Portal mode

[onyx oar]

count dooku vs defib?

[tribal minnow]

They probably would if Disney and EA reached a deal

[vocal tusk]

Cant wait for the wire guided rocket secondary seat in tanks

[pliant knot]

lmao yea, whole team in the last flag of breakthough, 30 soldier left to win it and the bomber "haha funny kill sound go brr drops epic bombs"

[brittle forge]

I think the game’s absurd joke weapon might be a taser tbh

Fits the setting

[onyx oar]

I hate it so much, worst part is the only way to deal with it is literally to all start shooting at it. that ainh't balanced, that's a problem

[tame cobalt]

[hidden sand]

Reminds of the two seater jets from BF2, would be great to have those added down the line

[oak canyon]

csgo players be like
guys its the zeus

[scenic tartan]

They should call it the thor

[brittle forge]

I don’t Play CS so I’ll pretend I understand this comment

[oak canyon]

then itd have to have a thors hammer as a sticker on it

[oak canyon]

the zeus x20 is a tactical taser

in csgo

[brittle forge]

ah

[pliant knot]

one AA gun in BF1 could damage it just like 50%, and since all assault guys were running AT not AA well shit

[onyx oar]

there is one way, it's called AA truck but that means sacrificing a goat i mean tank

[ionic coyote]

well good people in chat have a great ass kicking bf weekend

[brittle forge]

I hope they add proper attack jets. I imagine we don’t have them cause DICE doesn’t think the A-10 and Frogfoot will still be around even though I don’t think people would care

[tame cobalt]

👌

[hidden sand]

I hope to god DICE does not base their decisions on what should be added on this

[onyx oar]

you too 🙂

[hidden sand]

It's a game, the more content the better

[sullen badge]

Can't we all just hold hands and be happy

[brittle forge]

(Realistically the A-10 is probably still going to be in service in 2042 let’s be real)

[slim quiver]

I don’t think dice really cares about thinking “what would be around”

[arctic grove]

Scroll up about 10-20 minutes and you will see world war 3 so no

[hidden sand]

Battlefront 2 would like to have a word

[delicate hollow]

no

[frozen adder]

Guys, I have gold edition, what's the benefits of ultimate edition?

[brittle forge]

Then I can’t imagine why attack jets aren’t in the game, other than DICE just doesn’t want to balance them

[slim quiver]

Based on the atmosphere of the game a starving world with limited resources dwindling? Yet they can mass produce tanks and planes and helicopters and rockets etc. there’s no way they thought that far ahead aboutnit

[sullen badge]

I'm sure if we all tried real hard we could all be happy

[onyx oar]

are you trying to make a claim that people will likely agree on in the hopes that DICE sees it and adds A-10's to 2042?

[oblique finch]

o/

[tame cobalt]

gold is goat

[dull cedar]

you get the soundtrack, an artbook and a bunch of skins

[hidden sand]

It's honestly pretty disappointing that there's only 2 jets in total for the 2042 era, so I hope they come relatively soon

[frozen adder]

Is it worth?

[tame cobalt]

😩 😩 😩

[dull cedar]

not really. you're better off with the gold edition

[brittle forge]

No. Nice accusation tho. It’s an educated guess based on the way the US military seems to be upgrading things lol

[frozen adder]

K, thanks

[slim quiver]

Vehicle types have declined for years in the bf games “mainly modern games”

[oblique finch]

a fancy skin

[slim quiver]

Tanks literally just have MBTs now in BF

[onyx oar]

I mean I wouldn't mind A-10's in 2042, they are like that one old piece of equipment/tool you have at home that just refuses to fail you 👌

[slim quiver]

That’s why I like older BF games tbh

[oak canyon]

what if battlefield came out again in 3 years

[slim quiver]

They have all these different classifications of stuff to work with

[oak canyon]

[dull cedar]

battlefield 2024

[gusty jasper]

And people had roles

[onyx oar]

bf mobile br?

[hidden sand]

BFV set the standard for how many vehicles should be at launch. BFV had less time, and less devs. It confuses me why there's only 2 tanks and 2 jets, when they've shown they can do much more.

[slim quiver]

There were about 74 vehicles in 1942 lmao

[oak canyon]

ah yes the classic gaming saying
"if its not a battle royale it will die"

[wheat cloak]

Do they have file sizes for the pre download?

[onyx oar]

real question tho will there be submarines in portal?

[rough tinsel]

focus should be infantry however because 90% you play as boots on the ground

[tame cobalt]

maybe they want us to have a juicy live service and are saving some stuff for it...

[onyx oar]

god reminds me of the streamers saying Halo needs a br D:

[vocal tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/feel-me-think-about-it-meme-gif-7715402

[slim quiver]

I could use submarines, destroyers, patrol boats, carriers, there was a helicopter, bomber planes, fighter planes, prototype jets, SPGs, light,medium, heavy tanks and tank destroyers, mortar carriages, artillery rocket trucks, jeeps, amphibious carriers, APCs, motorcycles

[analog stirrup]

it's in their contracts to say shit like that

[hidden sand]

They can still do this. BFV started with a bunch, but still had some to add for the live service.

[oak canyon]

halo doesnt need a br if halo gets a br i wont bother downloading it at all

[clear hull]

why do pc have to wait until the 10th to preload the game

[oak canyon]

have i ever told you the story...

[slim quiver]

Doesn’t really matter, game releases on the 12th regardless

[onyx oar]

same, just give me some good old fashioned arena shooter gameplay 😉

[oak canyon]

i mean i preinstalled vanguard YESTERDAY

it came out today

so i dont think it really matters about preloading

as long as you do it

[analog stirrup]

lol vanguard

[onyx oar]

CoD released today?

[oak canyon]

yeah

about 12 hours ago

[onyx oar]

oh okay

anyway

[hidden sand]

They'll never return to this much variety sadly lol.

[oak canyon]

bf is a fun franchise

[indigo flame]

How cring do u have to be to play a game that my mom won’t let me play… like, all the jocks play CoD, that’s so cring dude

[hearty kiln]

Someone use when please

[tame cobalt]

No love for the MAV tho?

[oak canyon]

tamnk

[tame cobalt]

[oak canyon]

ok but can we have a silly rc controller explosive device

that looks like a potato

[hidden sand]

If we get the Leopard that would be amazing

Damnit zzzy you're making me load up BF1942 reminding me of all that content

[solid imp]

you want ucavs again?

[tame cobalt]

1942 doesn't have the vehicle customisation options of 2042 tho

[oak canyon]

myes

[oak canyon]

its been exactly 100 years

[tame cobalt]

there may be just 1 tank but it has many loadout options

[oak canyon]

1 tank but m1 garand

[tame cobalt]

garand instead of tank cannon?

sounds good

[oak canyon]

i like the garand too much

wait did battlefield ever have a thompson

big dwum

Morgan Freeman narrates
Dear Devs,
It has been many days since my last correspondence. I find myself beleaguered by this notion of a UCAV finding once more a home in the hearts of BF players, this time in 2042. Pray tell, shall my dreams be dashed by the UCAV once more? Or can I find solace and peace in the absence of this grand nuisance of a gadget?
My sincerest hopes for your continuing health and prosperity.

[oak canyon]

but this time make it look like a potato

[tame cobalt]

potato skin for boris when

[median coral]

Beta style skin for Falck when?

[polar kiln]

Sorry I didn’t get to see your msg, how big do you think the pre load will be for pc

[oak canyon]

big

[polar kiln]

Let’s say a ballpark like 100gb

[oak canyon]

probably

maybe a little less

[dense terrace]

gold edition gives early access on Nov 11th ?

[livid linden]

Going off the fact that Forza Horizon 5 alone is 120gb

[polar kiln]

Ok I’ll make some room

[oak canyon]

should

idk maybe

[livid linden]

I would say 100gb or more for battlefield

[royal swan]

Xbox got early it looks like

[dense terrace]

"should"

[oak canyon]

going off the fact you have forza installed

[polar kiln]

Wait the new forza is 120gb

[onyx oar]

[tight escarp]

Does preload mean i get to play early?

[livid linden]

Yep

[polar kiln]

Geez

[oak canyon]

no but it means you wont have to download the game when it comes out

[granite obsidian]

Daily reminder to remove specialists thank you

[livid linden]

The map is double the size of last games

So not surprising

[oak canyon]

better download it now than the moment it releases

[livid linden]

Forza is out now if you got premium edition

[oak canyon]

so remove the totally unique feature that was introduced to 2042

So I’m curious will people who pre ordered 2042 get to play it on the 12th?

[oak canyon]

odd

[hybrid oar]

[oak canyon]

for a 10 hour trial yes

[oak canyon]

what game was it in

[onyx oar]

[hybrid oar]

bad company 2

[oak canyon]

probably

[vocal tusk]

Confirmed portal weapons

[next isle]

[vocal tusk]

M24 is indeed there

[oak canyon]

frag garand?

[onyx oar]

preorder can play on the 12th, ea play and xbox gamespass can play on the 12th for 10 hours and base game owners can play on the 19th

[elder raptor]

why is the Xbox preload so early?

[hybrid oar]

THANK YOU GUYS

[tight rain]

i hope we will have an AN-94 BF3 like in 2042

[oak canyon]

an-94 cool

[vocal tusk]

There are 2 weapons listed on some lines

[tight rain]

an-94 best weapon

[vocal tusk]

Should be Frag - Garand

[oak canyon]

mmyes thompson
big dwum of .45 acp

[vocal tusk]

Frag being a grenade

[tight rain]

but im curious

its 100GO, but how many to DL ?

[unkempt sail]

Wait so my brain is kinda confused so I got ultimate of 2042 do we get like all the previous battlefields guns and vehicles or how does that work?

[oak canyon]

so we shoot frags out of a garand?

[median furnace]

👍👍👍

[vocal tusk]

You get a selection of guns, gadgets and vehicles from past games in portal

Basically all of the most popular ones

[oak canyon]

i wonder how the portal was opened

[unkempt sail]

Alright thanks

[vocal tusk]

Confirmed vehicles

Gadgets

[oak canyon]

does that mean the technology in 2042 is so powerful we opened up a portal to the past?

cant wait for 20 years from now

[solar tinsel]

Yeah think of Portal as vertical slices of previous BF games, assumedly new slices of other previous games will get added over time

[oak canyon]

[solar tinsel]

it's not the ENTIRE game, but a decent content drop of each

[oak canyon]

c4 meets c5

[vocal tusk]

Im kind of unsure how BC2 era factions are gonna be balanced...In a trailer we saw that there was a 2042 jet...but BC2 didnt have jets lol

[oak canyon]

why do i keep getting spam calls

i just wanna talk about battlefield

[hybrid forum]

[solar tinsel]

asymmetrical gameplay I suppose!

[oak canyon]

hello there

[vocal tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-there-general-kenobi-star-wars-grevious-gif-17774326

[polar kiln]

Wait so in portal you’ll have every item from ever game to play with

[oak canyon]

not bf1

i just want the kolibri man

[modest sparrow]

Not yet 😏

[oak canyon]

hope we get it

[vocal tusk]

You get a selection of weapons, vehicles and gadgets from BF 1942, BC2 and BF3

[modest sparrow]

I literally got one when you said that lmao

[oak canyon]

i wanna do kolibri only ffa matches with the boys

[subtle iron]

BF1 would get curb stopmped in portal

[oak canyon]

in what way

[snow perch]

hey guys, is there a clan advertisement channel or something similar for bf2042? - currently looking for one to join

[vocal tusk]

Id love if you can have same era balance, and have a WW2 tank shell do literally nothing to a 2042 tank. 😄

[subtle iron]

World War 1 was over one hundred years ago in our time. During 242 it would be 120-130 years in the past. Every gun that BF1 would use would either be matched or completely underpowered.

[oak canyon]

but kolibri

[hidden sand]

I wonder if we'll be able to set the Bazooka and Panzerschreck as gadgets rather than primaries

[oak canyon]

its supposed to be 5 damage per shot

[gusty nebula]

Not really, considering that guns used in WWI use a LOT larger caliber than most guns today

[obsidian geyser]

Should I hold off on getting 2042 until I can find a ps5, not sure how well ps4 will perform plus smaller map sizes on PS4

Just looking for opinions

[subtle iron]

O really I didn't know that

[gusty nebula]

In WWI American rifles used 30-06, nowadays Americans use 5.56 which is a MUCH smaller round

[vocal tusk]

Not at launch...but sure...all the BF vets will love having it class locked. Since classes are apparently superior

[oak canyon]

bf1887

the english vs the indians

[subtle iron]

I would wait its not worth spending more money in the long run and having smaller maps.

[vocal tusk]

Rocket and pistol only loadout FTW

[oak canyon]

kolibri and panzerscheck

[gusty nebula]

I wanna see a bazooka only hitscan server. I saw you can customize velocity so it should work

[subtle iron]

My knowledge on modern battlefield are limited but I suppose the downgrade was for ease of use purposes and for larger production. Not mention the cheaper cost.

[subtle iron]

pain

[gusty nebula]

It was mainly for weight, rapid fire, recoil, and ease of access

[vocal tusk]

🔥

[gusty nebula]

That’s why NATO makes every gun use 5.56 so there’s a TON of it

[slim junco]

cost

[oak canyon]

i wonder why they thought the kolibri was a good idea

2mm bullet what

6 round cased mag what

[slim junco]

BB rounds

[oak canyon]

bb rounds are stronger than 2mm

[subtle iron]

That seems about right, but for World War 1 warfare the larger caliber was most likely used for better penetration at longer distances.

[gusty nebula]

The average self defense gun at the time used .32 acp so yeah the Kolibri was very underpowered

[vocal tusk]

Some armed forces are re-adopting 7.62 weapons, to combat modern body armor though, AFAIK

[tame cobalt]

El alamein 2021 lookin kinda sexy doe

[tranquil kettle]

but its also faster

[gusty nebula]

Yeah cuz it’s lighter

But it was a VERY controversial change

[oak canyon]

bf1 shouldve had an achievement for getting a kill with the kolibri

[subtle iron]

is modern body armor standard among most armed forces?

[oak canyon]

it did up to 25 damage A MAG

[gusty nebula]

It took up until the adoption of the M16 for America to accept any caliber less than .30

[arctic grove]

holdup is the PC preload like 2 or 1 day before the early launch? holdup....

[tame cobalt]

headshots?

[slim junco]

Kill a squad with it

[paper talon]

bro kinda unfair for ps4/5

talking about the pre-load

[lime oxide]

Are they the same size?

[arctic grove]

yeah id love to preload it today

[hot raptor]

Ps4/5 gang where you at

[paper talon]

yeah

[oak canyon]

NOOOOOO

STOP IT NOW

[paper talon]

[oak canyon]

[arctic grove]

besides, the consoles definetly have less GB beacuse it doesnt have as much data as the PC versions, yet they get to install it now?

[slim junco]

Its possible

[oak canyon]

kolibri in danger zone

[gusty nebula]

“Get one quad feed with the kolibri”

[oak canyon]

kill a 4 man squad with the kolibri

[hot raptor]

Apparently the game is coming out on November 10 for PlayStation

[tame cobalt]

tbh I'm happy it's starts at midnight at least, gonna need those couple extra hours on my internet
