The 12th

[tranquil kettle]

bcs dice likes being woke

[azure lodge]

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

[tranquil kettle]

like they made the fact that sundance is non binary a selling point ...

[distant condor]

ah thx

[dark sandal]

"hey guys we have a non binary girl in our game!!!! now buy it!"

[rare tendon]

Oh shit lol

[brittle forge]

Why the Nordylis war story in BFV is disrespectful garbage

[dark sandal]

what a bunch of bollocks

[glacial zephyr]

This is taking too long to release

[tranquil kettle]

i mean did dice really needed to tweet that ... i mean no one cares anyway

[rare tendon]

Is the girl really non binary

Lol

[tranquil kettle]

yes dice made a tweet about it

[modern basin]

Literally no one cares if a specialist is non binary or not except for Twitter users. And it’s evident they were trying to get them from BFV…

[rare tendon]

That didnt even exist back then

[dark sandal]

wait did dice actually tweet this

[median coral]

Falck about to end up dating some dude who’s 30 years younger at some point, calling it rn

[rare tendon]

Ffs

[tranquil kettle]

yes ....

[dark sandal]

LOL this will be another bfv situation

[brittle forge]

To be fair to dice somebody asked if the specialist was, the community manager answered

[dark sandal]

oh god

[tranquil kettle]

afaik it was a community manager? or idk someone from dice

[dark sandal]

time to grab my popcorn for the shitstorm

[wooden tusk]

they had a story where african troops were erased from the record and replaced with white french troops, and then they themselves erase the norwegian commandos in favor of some teenage girl and her mom

[dark sandal]

thats gonne come out of this

[rare tendon]

Imma do it on the 10th

[barren ore]

AWESOME! Thank you!

[brittle forge]

I mean it’s not that big of a deal at all especially since the setting isn’t historical

[dark sandal]

can someone send the tweet

[tranquil kettle]

i mean in kinda mad that they re not fixing their shit and they make that

https://twitter.com/PartWelsh/status/1451294861898964995?s=20

i cant stop laughing

[modern basin]

Was the story about the French troops true though? I never looked into it. I only heard backlash because of the Nordlys story

[arctic grove]

Watch it buddy

[tranquil kettle]

@dark sandal @rare tendon

[barren ore]

Funny how you'll say I don't care about it, but can't stop talking about it.

[rare tendon]

Oh, I thought they made the girl from ww2 non binary

Lol

Got all mixed up

[dark sandal]

in the end i couldnt give less of a fuck if all the characters were all lesbian or straight

[tranquil kettle]

bro dont spoiler the campaign for battlefield 7

[arctic grove]

Alright pal keep talkin

[rare tendon]

Wtf would anyone make a tweet about that

[rare tendon]

Fr ...

[tranquil kettle]

same for me, im just mad that they dont fix their game and they focus on pointless stuff

[brittle forge]

Parts of it are true and parts of it are false. The “the white french erased the Tirallieur from history” angle is complete bullshit, the French literally have a national holiday in honor of them

[rare tendon]

I dont understand why thats a thing

[tranquil kettle]

thats a lot of 2s

[modern basin]

Oh I see, thanks for clarifying.

[dark sandal]

i remember back in the ow days when blizzard said tracer was lesbian and everyone overreacted

[brittle forge]

But the main setting of the war story, retaking Southern France, is something the Tirallieur definitely helped do

[slim quiver]

Probably not a good idea to talk about this because this probably won’t end well

[dark sandal]

bruh

[tame cobalt]

[arctic grove]

Yeah vanguard sucks

[rare tendon]

Incels

[dark sandal]

mod is here CHANGE TOPIC

[rare tendon]

Lol

[modern basin]

When you’re in the middle of typing a paragraph but a mod changes the subject so you have to delete it

[tame cobalt]

[dark sandal]

you typing paragraphs on discord

[modern basin]

I’m a scholar

[slim quiver]

I wouldn’t have held it against you haha

I know it can take a few to read someone else’s message while you’re focused on your own

[rare tendon]

Anyways, I hope they dont focus too much on characters back story, cuz personally I dont give a damn

[vague panther]

why is xbox release so early

[dark sandal]

true

battlefield was never about backstory

[slim quiver]

I don’t really care for character lore

[dark sandal]

lmao

[slim quiver]

Some people obviously enjoy it

[dark sandal]

everyone in bf was a no name generic soldier

[arctic grove]

I got a “enough of emoji spam” message

[rare tendon]

Thats why we had faceless soldiers

[arctic grove]

when did I spam emojis

[dark sandal]

now they introduce this bs

[halcyon sable]

Well with how the specialist are set up, im guessing they will

[odd fox]

Uhhh why does xbox get an early pre load

[rare tendon]

Yeah, I think youre right

[dark sandal]

microsoft pays ea

[rare tendon]

Bad company 1 just finished installing

[dark sandal]

simple

[rare tendon]

See yall later

[odd fox]

PC is Microsoft lol

[slim quiver]

Well there will probably be character development later on

[modern basin]

And those faceless soldiers had a story that the player themselves created with only in battlefield moments

[dark sandal]

uhm bf2042 is on steam/origin tho?

[halcyon sable]

I mean if they manage to throw in a story told through seasons or something in battlefield im all for it. Battlefield was always my top choice for massive warfare, if they manage to add up named soldiers and a story, im all for it

[arctic grove]

App Store only

[dark sandal]

you can turn a mac into a windows laptop if you wanted to

[modern basin]

Gotta sacrifice that storage tho

[green breach]

What will come out first, Bad Company 3 or Half Life 3?

[dark sandal]

windows is like 20gb installed bruh

[slim quiver]

@arctic grove

[arctic grove]

I’m think 2

[slim quiver]

You gotta stop

[arctic grove]

Ok mb

[modern basin]

Bad company 3 episode 2

[arctic grove]

Half life 2.5

[dark sandal]

ereh yeager

[modern basin]

[orchid root]

I got the same question like isn't it 48 hours before it comes out

[azure lodge]

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

[green breach]

Umm half life 2.5 was the episodes.

[oblique finch]

its a pre load

game wont be live then

[vague panther]

oh

[arctic grove]

Alright bud keep talkin dude

[modern basin]

I thought half life has episode 0, 1, then 2?

[oblique finch]

did you even read that image?

[modern basin]

Like the base game

[oblique finch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/144885731129556992/906200534208380938/FDcEufTX0AIAk1p.png

[green breach]

And I shall. Half life Alyx was half life 1.5

[orchid root]

[noble ruin]

I wonder why they made it separate

[dim pumice]

Why does preorder time matter anyway, its just a marketing thing

[green breach]

Why does Xbox get to preload tomorrow?

[lime oxide]

People will be asking, what about regular pre orders ?

[fiery solar]

november 6th is part of the battlefield bad company timeline

[oblique finch]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[modern basin]

Because partners

[twilit palm]

does it matter if they get to stare at a 2042 logo for a few more days

[dim pumice]

Bad company 3 confirmed

[next hill]

wait so is the game released early or no this is just when we can download the game?

[arctic grove]

[distant swallow]

This waiting had me dying damn

[arctic grove]

Fricking

[arctic grove]

Fr

I’ve never been more hyped for a game release ever

[fiery solar]

waiting is canon in battlefield?

[arctic grove]

Battlefield is in fact canon in the battlefield

[green breach]

I heard cannons in battlefield is canon

[distant swallow]

I didn't feel this since Black Ops 2 back in 2012

[tepid canopy]

BF2042 is gonna be shit when it releases.

[twilit palm]

o nice that’s a new one

[fiery solar]

air particles are canon in air particles are cannon in battlefield

[orchid root]

penguins are canon in battlefield

[arctic grove]

Alright Pal keep talkin

[green breach]

Can't be worse than beta. If it's as good or better I'll be happy

[modern basin]

It hasn’t been new bruh

[wheat marsh]

servers will be unplayable almost guaranteed

[tepid canopy]

Indeed, I will.

[twilit palm]

Doesn’t elaborate, hot take to stir controversy

[fiery solar]

ok

[arctic grove]

Alright buddy

[twilit palm]

love it

[median coral]

Isn’t gamepass ultimate $1 rn?

[modern basin]

BF4, BF Hardline, BFV

[green breach]

Sargonic your profile pic looks like Peter Griffin

[fiery solar]

battlefield bad. why? cause battlefield not my battlefield🤓

[median coral]

Since mine runs out m today and I might apply that before my new card

[noble ruin]

Wait till December 1st for the best early experience I'd say

[fiery solar]

it is

[orchid root]

Can you play games from gamepass ultimate on PC or nah?

[devout sedge]

why did you join the server then?

[fiery solar]

yes

[green breach]

@median coral I'm sure that deal is for new subscribers only

[tepid canopy]

because I like battlefield?

[distant swallow]

[modern basin]

To express opinions

[brittle forge]

I am worried the launch technical state is not going to be great ngl

[wheat marsh]

i cant. halo will be release too soon after

[orchid root]

Ok I will get it for $1 than

[median coral]

Yeah. PC is on the Microsoft store and console through xcloud

[dim pumice]

Surely it cant be worse than bf4 though

[tepid canopy]

Basically my point, the game is probably gonna have a shit ton of bugs.

[fiery solar]

its $3 for 3 months and after the 3 months its $15 or $25

[twilit palm]

Don’t worry, everyone in this discord will eventually reach a level of maturity that allows them to understand that a game not catering to everything on their personal wishlist DOESNT make it a shit game

[devout sedge]

"expressing" just sounds like an excuse to annoy people but I guess I understand

[orchid root]

Still pretty good deal, you can cancel anytime

[twilit palm]

atleast wait for it to come out before the hot takes roll

[fiery solar]

yeah i know

[green breach]

@twilit palm if 2042 doesn't get the zip 22 then game is dead to me lol

[tepid canopy]

The beta was aight just the bug kinda ruined it.

[median coral]

I mean can I redeem it when it expires?

[modern basin]

Most of the people here come from Reddit, any form of an opposing opinion is “annoying”.

[median coral]

Since my 1 year ran out today

[fiery solar]

i dont know

[brittle forge]

That’s not a high bar, but no it probably won’t be worse. I don’t think a polished game at release should be a big ask though, since DICE should have learned from all the previous launches

[fiery solar]

i thought it was first time you use gamepass is $3

[median coral]

I have a new card already but $1 for 3 months is good to put on before that

[modern basin]

Don’t believe me? Search for chats that came up during the beta.

[green breach]

Trax I'd take a look at it again. The $1 deal is probably for new users only

[fiery solar]

beta bad beta bad 77 hours playtime

[solid vale]

Hey!

[green breach]

Beta was rough but moved nicely.

[median coral]

If it is I’ll just put on my card

[tepid canopy]

yeah.

[median coral]

It’s already paid for

Just don’t wanna throw away a $1 month

[fiery solar]

staring at the title screen for extra 72 hours "not my battlefield"

[tepid canopy]

Which BF launched the smoothest?

[green breach]

Bf1

[fiery solar]

hardline

no one was around to say it was bad

[twilit palm]

every time I see paik a part of my “battlefield was always a milsim” soul tears away /s

[modern basin]

LMAOOOO

[brittle forge]

BF1, Hardline was the best technically but it also wasn’t developed by DICE

[tepid canopy]

People who say "bf was always a milsim" just need to realize BF is about chaos and go back to Arma 3

[vague panther]

bugs was the thing that made 2042 beta great

[green breach]

Battlefield had a milsim. But it was a mod called project reality. Eventually became redundant thanks to Squad.

[fiery solar]

bethesda created hardline

[vague panther]

kinda like skyrim

[dim pumice]

Hey there was a couple of us

[median coral]

Also that classes in general are kinda outdated

[fiery solar]

some guy at dice: GTA do good what if we make GTA

[brittle forge]

No they’re fucking not lmao

[tepid canopy]

breh?

[twilit palm]

I don’t want a debrief from a 12 year old squad leader every time I load into battlefield, we can have squad for that

[green breach]

Classes suck. I'm glad they ditched them. Said no one ever

[woeful python]

bruh

[noble ruin]

2042 Breakthrough is going to be extremely chaotic

[green breach]

I'm indifferent however

Being honest

[brittle forge]

Nothing about classes is dated. it’s a balance design concept that you can either choose to use or not to use but there’s plenty of other modern games that use class systems lmao

[fiery solar]

complaining isnt gonna bring back the classes we all whine about it together cause no one like fly sckwerl

[woeful python]

*Epic

[noble ruin]

Chaotic Epic >:)

[green breach]

Metro 128 players gonna be nuts

[tepid canopy]

metro boomin

[fiery solar]

did dice expand most of the old maps for 128 players?

[woeful python]

👍

[green breach]

They gonna make their own spin on metro again. I'm thinking sand everywhere in the metro.

[wheat marsh]

i rather play metro without changes except player increase

it would be hell

[tepid canopy]

Saudi Metro

[green breach]

Ya possibly

[fiery solar]

64 players in metro is already hell

[brittle forge]

Metro Sandstorm
shitty techno music plays

[wheat marsh]

then deeper hell

[tepid canopy]

Insurgency Metrostorm

[dim pumice]

Check out Warsaw revamped, it's a modding/custom server thing for bf4 which supports up to 128 players

[fiery solar]

hell is above metro 64 players

[green breach]

Metro Sandstorm sounds like a good name.

[fiery solar]

yeah

[twilit palm]

wish more people appreciated Orbital, basically Caspian V2

[brittle forge]

Sounds like a decent band name ngl

[fiery solar]

no i dont like orbital already just cool rocket

[green breach]

Brb gonna go copyright it....and it's already been

[brittle forge]

I think renewal is going to be far more like that than orbital is not gonna lie

[fiery solar]

ill play any map but orbital since ive already played it too much

not my battlefield

[green breach]

New modes will make orbital fresh again

[brittle forge]

Orbital was just kinda barren tbh outside of the runaway area

[tepid canopy]

I wanna see who copyrighted metro

[fiery solar]

everywhere but the zones were dead silent for 128 players

[twilit palm]

it’s gonna be like siege of Shanghai was in BF4 where everyone went around to other maps for the first few months but came back

[green breach]

Orbital will probably play better as breakthrough

[fiery solar]

we need siege of shanghai but campaign version

[tepid canopy]

I had never been able to see the skyscraper fall down rip

[twilit palm]

that’s because it was everyone’s first experience with the layout, every map will be like that the first few weeks I’m sure

[brittle forge]

I highly doubt orbital is going to get a siege of Shanghai redemption arc I’m not gonna lie, but hey I suppose it’s possible

[last sleet]

If you pre order bounces on the card you selected, will it retry?

[twilit palm]

lots of “emptiness” between capture points until people start experimenting with flanks and such

[orchid root]

If metro makes a return it might be in Portal, or as in a new season it might become 4x bigger

[fiery solar]

you want to

[tepid canopy]

I do.

[fiery solar]

yourself or a clip of it clearly

[rare tendon]

Watch haggard, redford and streetwater xomeback as operators

[fiery solar]

who tf ignores a big skyscraper falling

[tepid canopy]

myself

[green breach]

@orchid root probably both. Bf3 metro in portal. And a new metro for 2042

[fiery solar]

just to get your k/d up 0.0000001

you never played bf4?

[tepid canopy]

I have

[orchid root]

Yeah maybe

[tepid canopy]

Just most of the servers were empty

[fiery solar]

you can take it down yourself

[tepid canopy]

gaming

Terrorism

[twilit palm]

I’d be fine with one metro not double

let 2042 experiment with new ideas

[tepid canopy]

property damage 😄

[bold thistle]

wsup everyone

[drifting cave]

hi

[weary osprey]

Hey

[green breach]

Actually Saudi metro would make sense. It would be a Hyperloop instead. There is this several mile long straight city planned in Saudi Arabia. Probably take place there.

[bold thistle]

how is your day going?

[drifting cave]

tired

[weary osprey]

Is hardline campaign good?

[tepid canopy]

Yes.

[drifting cave]

its not the best

[tepid canopy]

for a bf campaign

[bold thistle]

get some sleep, wake up full of energy

[orchid root]

Ehh, I only played A bit and it was on ps3

[fiery solar]

so you bust bad guy you get betrayed by girl you drive car you chase car you win

[weary osprey]

[fiery solar]

spoiler alert: you shoot bad guy

[green breach]

Oh no how will I live being spoiled by a battlefiled campaign story

[fiery solar]

you cant

[bold thistle]

^

[chilly shore]

hello

[green breach]

It's not bad company so whatever

[tepid canopy]

[bold thistle]

greetings

[fiery solar]

you always win

and den you get lots of money

[bold thistle]

losing is not alpha

[umbral garnet]

but i do want to play it

[green breach]

Story for them were fun

[tepid canopy]

balls

[fiery solar]

i remember how confused i looked playing bf3 on xbox 360

[umbral garnet]

yeah i heard good things about the campaign

[fiery solar]

yeah funny guy fight

[green breach]

They are pretty much the only good ones.

[umbral garnet]

oh man the bf3 campaign was fun

i mean the story was ok

[green breach]

Bf3 was alright too.

[bold thistle]

bf3 was decent

[umbral garnet]

but i had a pretty fun time with bf3

[green breach]

But bad company still takes the cake

[bold thistle]

you mean when orrr?

[green breach]

When

[weary osprey]

Bad company campaign is the best

[fiery solar]

all i remember in bf3 is discovering walls can be destroyed and spamming grenades desperately waiting for the wall for explode

[bold thistle]

no, you just download it early

[green breach]

Runs into another country shooting in air. Has just invaded another country.

[fiery solar]

[quartz jay]

Depends on ur preorder version.

[bold thistle]

[azure lodge]

Battlefield 2042 | Release

[fiery solar]

[azure lodge]

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

[fiery solar]

the preload is just downloading it before launch so you arent sitting there for 12 hours watching the game download on launch day

[green breach]

4 more hours and we get 666

[chilly shore]

quick question what do you guys think of battlefield 2042?

so far

[fiery solar]

do not play battlefield at 3am

[bold thistle]

hype

[fiery solar]

c4 appeared at my house

[fiery solar]

do not mail yourself to battlefield 2042

[green breach]

@chilly shore myy classes they gone! Naw I'm hyped

[bold thistle]

because scary mcdonalds clown appears in bf at 3am

[lean wolf]

Looks 😻

[fiery solar]

not my battlefield you cant see dust particles

[quartz jay]

Beta was fun I just hope the optimization is fixed

[chilly shore]

same

[bold thistle]

it should be

[fiery ocean]

I feel like people got a bad first impression of it when they played beta since it's an old build however so far it looks really polished and offers a crap ton of content especially with portal

[bold thistle]

yes

[lean wolf]

mhm

[worthy token]

was the beta good, i never played it so?

[fiery ocean]

sure there will/could be bugs but hey they will be hopefully fixed lol

[lean wolf]

felt like a concept build

[stray zealot]

how to play bf3 and not die

[green breach]

Proxy that pfp from that shitty remake?

[lean wolf]

no it's from the tv show

[bold thistle]

depends.

fun? yes.
buggy? yes.
unoptimised? yes.

[fossil trench]

God I wish I could play BF2042 right now

[lean wolf]

uses the child's play 2 look

[fiery solar]

havent watched yet where can I

[green breach]

There is a Chucky tv show damn never knew

[stray zealot]

is bf4 really that good?

[fiery solar]

yes

[quartz jay]

bf4 gunplay is

[fossil trench]

The best

[chilly shore]

yup

[worthy token]

@bold thistle hope its gonna be ok to run on release

[stray zealot]

i really cant get to fully enjoy bf4

[green breach]

A lot of people say bf4 was the best in the series.

[lean wolf]

I could never really get into bf4

[bold thistle]

it should be, it was an old build

[fiery solar]

i play for fun i always enjoy

[lean wolf]

Too many pro players

[green breach]

@lean wolf that's why they hated bf1. Went for the casual crowd

[dim pumice]

yeah man

[stray zealot]

I have around 140-150 hours spent in bf4 and there's something about it that doesnt feel good

[fiery solar]

bf1 too good

[foggy crest]

How ?

[quartz jay]

Its the gunplay

[lunar venture]

p
e
n
i
s

[green breach]

@stray zealot the movement isn't as good as the later gams

[stray zealot]

i still somehow enjoy bf3 more than bf4

bf3 gunplay feels kind of clunky and it feels old but it's fun

[fiery ocean]

btw do y'all know what will happen with skins when it comes to portal? If you play on a server with no specialists i'm assuming you can't use the character skins on them

[green breach]

Bf3 had better map design.

[fiery solar]

i havent played bf3 in 4 years

i havent played battlefield at all recently

[stray zealot]

in bf4 i mostly feel like i am just getting either sniped from some super hidden guy or raped by vehicles

[umbral garnet]

amazing

[foggy crest]

Guys which shotgun is the best in BF1 and how to unlock it ?

[green breach]

Use infared like everyone did kire.

[umbral garnet]

i really love bf4 but aa kinda ruins gameplay for me

[stray zealot]

and if not it's the complete opposite: it's a 24/7 locker and there's a pair of shitbuckets that have ONLY used the AEK 971 and the G18 since they first played the game

[wheat marsh]

the camping heli or the attack jet controlling air space

[stray zealot]

now after shitting on bf4, im gonna go play it and rage

[fiery solar]

bf4 sucks when you can use helicopters

[serene raven]

every battlefield player ever

[worthy token]

is it difficult to fly on keyboard, back on bf4 i played on ps4 so it was easy to fly, and i know flying on keyboard can sometimes be difficult?

[fiery solar]

battlefield moment

[stray zealot]

i wish bfh was more alive

[serene raven]

wonder what ops you get with the standard edition.

[stray zealot]

i really wanna try BFH but it doesn't seem worth buying

[green breach]

No classes guess I'll play 2042 anyways.

[umbral garnet]

just set pitch down to space or a key then you’re good

[serene raven]

better get that grapplehook dude.

[foggy crest]

if somebody know pls tell me 🥲

[serene raven]

all of them

[languid marsh]

Bofa

[green breach]

Everyone just gonna use wall hack specialist

[serene raven]

who

[chrome storm]

So PC is Nov 10th? Is there any for the gold earlier or how does that work

[umbral garnet]

the asian woman?

i forgot

[serene raven]

EA

[green breach]

Ya Korean I believe

[lean wolf]

Honestly don't think it's going to be as bad as it seems

[wheat marsh]

wall hack lady

[green breach]

[chrome storm]

That doesn't answer

[stray zealot]

how alive are BFBC2 and BF2?

[fiery solar]

bfbc2 is still alive

[lean wolf]

there's usually 2-3 full servers

[umbral garnet]

[green breach]

@chilly shore everyone gets irish. Preorder gets you hoody irish.

[lean wolf]

[chilly shore]

oh

[umbral garnet]

kinda sad that the irish voice actor died

[median coral]

Getting gold mainly for the passes

[green breach]

@median coral same

But week early play is good

[median coral]

Not having to pay for any passes for a year sounds nice

[serene raven]

i cant post pics

unreal

[median coral]

@green breach also doesn’t all operators get unlocked instantly with gold?

[green breach]

To post pics you either have to become a regular or boost the server.

[frail slate]

what time can you preload est time pc?

[serene raven]

gold and ultimate get to play a week early

[serene raven]

on the 10th

[frail slate]

'time'

[umbral garnet]

tbh i don’t like specialists for regular gameplay, but hazard zone specialists seems good

[worthy token]

wait do u have to unlock each individual specialist? Or do u get the 4 people straight away

[umbral garnet]

i’d rather stick to reg infantry for reg gameplay

[serene raven]

1 pm est @frail slate

[frail slate]

ok

ty

[median coral]

You get the beta ones instantly and have to unlock the rest through challenges

[serene raven]

now wheres my soft choc chip cookies

[green breach]

@median coral that's my guess. Have to wait and see

[median coral]

Paik seems to be a unlockable one

[serene raven]

someone is going to lewd these operators arent they

[green breach]

Isn't she Korean?

@serene raven rule 34 man rule 34

Heh there was that dude pinging like 4 devs asking for feet pics of the specialists

LMFAOOOO

[woeful python]

wait what?1

[median coral]

It tends to be the more attractive specialists that get the nsfw art

[serene raven]

you saying grapplehook boy is ugly.

[median coral]

Also the older ones tend to always not get any besides a few from people who like them older

[serene raven]

how do you know.

[umbral garnet]

[green breach]

What if they did battlefield 1718.

[oak canyon]

[umbral garnet]

nope

[ripe hedge]

Heh I would love to see them trying

[oak canyon]

battlefield 1776
the english vs the indians

[median coral]

What if they did BF 2942

[umbral garnet]

what if furries lewd the robo doggy

[oak canyon]

battlefield: infinite warfare

[green breach]

@umbral garnet it's not even an if

[woeful python]

what?

[serene raven]

[oak canyon]

1776 is when america was "found"

[median coral]

Paik is gonna get the most I can already tell

[serene raven]

[oak canyon]

its a video game not everything has to be historically accurate

[woeful python]

founded and the english didn't fight indians

[oak canyon]

[slate mist]

why dont they convert the battlefield franchise into a farming simulator by just turning it into "field"

[serene raven]

when people saw bf5 trailer

[oak canyon]

do not question my needs in gaming

[unkempt beacon]

[unkempt beacon]

Alex would make a great specialist. Ban on Kill

Alex-7 specialist ability will be able to create new guns in the middle of a battle

Although Valorant's new agent is like "yo my superpower is... GUNS" so it would probably be like that

what if my character in my picture was ingame

[oak canyon]

its 2042 anythings possible

[serene raven]

but they got drdisrespect

[oak canyon]

we opened a fucking portal to the past

do you think we cant spawn beers?

[green breach]

@oak canyon except effectively combating climate change.

[oak canyon]

whats that

proceeds to add more coal to the furnace

i have heard of no such thing

[slate mist]

wait ur gonna become a specialist

[serene raven]

something that was referenced in futurama

i feel like i made a futurama reference

Only if they want to do Joke Season

Speaking of jokes. How is that zip 22 coming along?

[serene raven]

oh its a tiny gun.

[green breach]

Gag weapons seem to have started with Hardline I believe.

[oak canyon]

[ripe hedge]

Each time I get asked I delay it another season

[green breach]

Dammit!

[serene raven]

we had a tiny gun and finger gun in bf1 and bf5 or something right?

[oak canyon]

its a dangerous weapon
apparently
since the bullet comes out right next to your grip hand

[unkempt beacon]

What about zip 21

[green breach]

Bf5 official gag weapon was the liberator

[oak canyon]

the zip 20

zip 19

[serene raven]

whats going to be bf2042s

[oak canyon]

and so on

ZIP 1

[serene raven]

cyberpunk 2077 sword?

[oak canyon]

c5

[green breach]

Finger gun was a gag weapon pick up. But wasn't the official one

[oak canyon]

since no other game has thought of the name

c5

[unkempt beacon]

Its composition 5 instead of composition 4 for even more splodey splode

[arctic grove]

Battlefield never existed we are all just having a collective schizophrenic meltdown

[oak canyon]

and longer remote distance

also has anyone notice the c5s remote says "c5 go brrrrr"

[arctic grove]

It says many things

[green breach]

Actually I'm not sure of hardline had an official gag weapon. Had some Easter egg ones though

[arctic grove]

Sup

Guys what did you think about among us Easter egg on orbital

[green breach]

Oh god there is one?

[ripe hedge]

And many other things!

[visual horizon]

Please bring back the Welrod.

[modern basin]

@visual horizon YOUR CAT

[green breach]

That's WW2. Why would that be in 2042.

[visual horizon]

yes

[modern basin]

Is that your cat?

[visual horizon]

no

[ripe hedge]

Delays the Welrod another season

[modern basin]

ITS SO CUTE

Oh

[visual horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/death-stare-black-snake-moan-samuel-l-jackson-shocked-wide-eye-gif-14648637

[modern basin]

BUT STILL

Please don’t bring back the welrod

[visual horizon]

not my cat, is me

[oak canyon]

i hope it displays 5 cs for no reason

[green breach]

Also wellrod only worked best when you first shoot it. After a few shots it was worthless.

[oak canyon]

can it display a big number showing how many kills you get with an explosion

i think itd be silly

[green breach]

C5 name so dumb. I'm still gonna call it c4

[oak canyon]

i call it c5

cant wait for c6

[brittle forge]

C4 gang

Actually no fuck that. Jeep stuff is the only acceptable name

[flat charm]

Nvidia Geforce Drivers LETS GO!!!!

Damn can't post imagebb

[green breach]

I was upset they patched Jeep stuff in bf1. You could put mines on your vehicle by placing them on boxes first and smashing into the boxes

[ripe hedge]

Why dumb?

[green breach]

What makes it C5?

[flat charm]

The new nvidia geforce drivers are optimized for BF 2042 😄

[visual horizon]

future

[tidal hare]

C4 is just a plastic charge

[green breach]

Then again I shouldn't say that's dumb. When I want the zip 22

[tidal hare]

If we ffw a generation it will be called C5

[median coral]

Leaks are maybe starting tomorrow

[tidal hare]

That is a valid request

[median coral]

Since people can data mine Xbox preloads I’m pretty sure

[tidal hare]

I want zip22 too

[next gulch]

5>4, GENIUS CALL IT C5

[green breach]

A lot of people are on board with that being the gag weapon for 2042

[tidal hare]

Yeah

[mortal prism]

So they are! Thanks for the heads up!

[green breach]

Theybwer optimized for 2042 for awhile now

[ripe hedge]

The new composition?

C4 means "Composition 4", in relation to the mixture of chemicals it has. There was a C3, C2 and C1 before it.

C5 it's just a future mixture that probably stops using RDX like C4 uses and even Semtex uses today.

[next gulch]

AMD hasnt released their 2042 drivers yet, just Vanguard

[green breach]

Maby I just really liked c4.

Just rolls off the tongue nicely.

[tidal hare]

C4 has been around for a long time

So the name stuck around

[green breach]

Just like napalm. Was last used truly in ww2

Or was it Korean war

[next gulch]

So did DICE nerf the ability to put C5 on the recon drone that 1 specialist had

[tidal hare]

Napalm got used I Korean war

Idk about Vietnam tho

[ripe hedge]

Because we haven't found a better nitroamine, even modern plastics like Semtex are still based on RDX

[tidal hare]

Yeah

[green breach]

Vietnam didn't. But was still called napalm

[tidal hare]

That's sad

But I guess for balance it has to be done

[next gulch]

idk if they did

[tidal hare]

I mean

[green breach]

I can see how it could be abused

[tidal hare]

If they did it I won't be surprised

[next gulch]

It was pretty funny, but it is pretty hard to pull off

[tidal hare]

Or they nerf it so you can only stick one on the drone

[oak canyon]

willy pete grenades when

would like to burn my enemies while theyre blinded

[green breach]

For Easter all grenades should be replaced with eggs.

[next gulch]

bring back gas grenades

[tidal hare]

No

[next gulch]

yes

[tidal hare]

No

[green breach]

Geneva says no

[oak canyon]

if dismemberment is possible, turn their dismembered limbs into chocolate limbs

[next gulch]

F the geneva, the world is ending in 2042

[oak canyon]

[green breach]

@next gulch more like civilization

[tidal hare]

Even though it is really much of a Geneva suggestion

Modern gas masks

[next gulch]

not really, I mean Geneva didnt stop Syria so lol

[green breach]

True. Anything goes in war if you think about it.

[tidal hare]

And if you really want to dona chemical warfare

You won't use gas anyways

[green breach]

Didn't USA use white phosphorus back in the first gulf war?

[next gulch]

I hope there's a mortar gadget in full release

[tidal hare]

Idk

I hate motars

If they release motar it will probs tied to a specialist

[green breach]

Ya mortors will for sure be tied to a specialist.

[next gulch]

The little bird in 2042 exists so anything they add won't be as annoying

[tidal hare]

Well yes

[next gulch]

so add everything, UCAV too

[green breach]

🎶UCAV UCAV🎶

[tidal hare]

No

[next gulch]

whenever you heard that UCAV noise, terror follows

[tidal hare]

Little bird can be shot down tbh

UCAV is just death

[dire pecan]

They're just taking the usual battlefield gadgets and assigning them a unique operator. Extremely lazy imo

[tidal hare]

I mean

[dire pecan]

On top of just ripping off abilities from other games

[tidal hare]

Isn't specialist literally classes with locked gadget in slot 1?

[next gulch]

yes basically

[green breach]

Pretty much

[next gulch]

what a step forward in game design

[green breach]

2042bad canceled his preorder btw

[tidal hare]

And people are still pissed about it lol

[ripe hedge]

Yes like the classic grapple hook or the usual x-ray visor

[tidal hare]

Sarcasm is strong on this one

[ripe hedge]

Sorry it's late and I'm tired

[green breach]

Honestly unless you were Wolfenstein 3d. Every shooter copied each other.

[tidal hare]

Have some sleep mate

[green breach]

Goodnight Alex.

[tidal hare]

Sleep is important for human body

[still vault]

also the inhuman bodies

[tidal hare]

Yes

[green breach]

And also for sharks.....wait they not allowed to sleep

[tidal hare]

But inhuman usually follow a sleep schedule unlike us

[dire pecan]

It necessarily follows that all the other specialist abilities are new to the battlefield franchise by induction. QED

[green breach]

Bet you could get a shark to sleep if you constantly push water towards it's fins

[modern basin]

Ok now that’s just epic

[green breach]

2042bad he went to bed. Alex gone

[modern basin]

Ok now if Dice adds penguins into portal that can actually fight then I would be sold on the game

[still vault]

Absolutely

[next gulch]

ded game

[ripe hedge]

Still lurking

[dire pecan]

I am excited for portal though

[next gulch]

WHAT, they removed the dancing Raccoon?

[solid ferry]

Wait are you a dev or a community manager or somethin?

[dire pecan]

He's a weapons designer at dice according to the description

[arctic grove]

Ayyyyy buddy rest that noggin

[solid ferry]

Ah pretty cool

Debating getting gold edition...

[barren ore]

Do it!

[visual horizon]

"...and seriously considering putting forward the idea for the reintroduction of the Welrod, in BF2042, to my supervisor."

[solid ferry]

But its kinda impulsive, I could just be patient and wait for the 19th. I don't care about anything other than the early access, idgaf how buggy it might be 😂

[ripe hedge]

*another month pushed. With the kolibri now *

[visual horizon]

[median coral]

Win

[barren ore]

The beta was awesome, so I'm guessing early access will be a blast.

[weary osprey]

I just downloaded hardline gonna bash the campaign

[solid ferry]

It was awesome. I'm part of the "don't like specialists" gang but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the grapple.. its not enough to turn me away from the game at least

[arctic grove]

Add lightsaber

yo

[slim quiver]

I’ve been meaning to talk to you Alex…..

[dark wharf]

prison simulator ?

[weary osprey]

Hardline first mission

[dark wharf]

oh okay sorry mate

[ripe hedge]

What weapon do I need to push to season 7 now?

[visual horizon]

Season 7?

[burnt kettle]

unpopular opinion: the hardline campaign was good

[slim quiver]

Whatever gun gets me a manga cover.

But actually Alex I lost the photo I meant to send you, it was some really cool like octopus decal on a sniper that wrapped around the scope

[arctic grove]

It was unique

[spring lotus]

will 2042 come free with regular ea play subscription or will it only give a 10 hour trial and you can only have unlimited access if you have ea play pro or have bought the game?

[ripe hedge]

Cool weapons I'm bad at, but Anime weapons? Oh boy, mastery there

[slim quiver]

If I find it I’ll let you know

[slim quiver]

The only mastery that counts in my book

[median coral]

Now we wait

[ripe hedge]

Please, I'm now emotionally invested in octopus sniper

[median coral]

[arctic grove]

@ripe hedge you work at dice/ea yes?

[arctic grove]

What is that pc or Xbox

[slim quiver]

It was kind of like this except the tentacle wrapped up the scope

[median coral]

Xbox

[ripe hedge]

I like to think I do

[arctic grove]

Newest one?

[median coral]

Yeah

[arctic grove]

Is it really good?

[arctic grove]

Remove specialists

Pls

[ripe hedge]

Dude real talk here. The series X its amazing, but it's like the PS5 as in, they are both amazing.

The Series S however? The performance you get out of that tiny nifty thing? And for that price, incredible deal

[ripe hedge]

No

[visual horizon]

Wait, hear me out...

Finger Gun Easter Egg 2.0:

Thumb up, Index finger extended, the rest curled. Index finger fires as a projectile and deals damage upon contact with another player. But, this time, the finger detaches when fired. To reload, the player's character pulls another index finger from off-screen and screws it back into place in similar fashion to that of applying a silencer to a pistol. It's now ready to be fired again.

[median coral]

Series X runs like a dream

[arctic grove]

Worth a shot

[weary osprey]

Series x

[slim quiver]

Can confirm series X is amazing

[arctic grove]

Noted

[summer lake]

Zip22 with customisation

[slim quiver]

I’ve compared the ps5 to the Xbox series x and they’re both about the same but I’ve taken a liking to my Xbox more tbh

[visual horizon]

To prevent gore, have the finger be metallic internally, with a screw tip at the rear end.

[ripe aspen]

Is it possible to request a piece of headgear for Boris that allows him to have cat ear headphones, I think that’ll be pretty cool

[median coral]

I’ve been on Xbox since 360 so

[solid ferry]

Regular ea play is a 10 hour trial. Pro will give unlimited

[median coral]

It has a lot of my games playable on the new gen

[ripe aspen]

Battlefield 2042 on the Xbox 360

[slim quiver]

Based

[ripe hedge]

For me it shifts like, every week 😅 sometimes I'm like man the PS5 is so good and other times in like holy fuck the series X is amazing, super tight competition between them

[arctic grove]

It think 2042 is optimized enough to run in my dreams

[slim quiver]

It really really depends on what I’m playing. When I feel like demon souls or Nioh 2 Or Kena im all about the ps5, when I feel like “oh my god gamepass” im all over Xbox

Either way they’re both very impressive machines

[arctic grove]

I don’t like consoles purely because you have to pay for online

I can afford but I just hate the concept lol

Small price to pay for getting hardware to play modern games at 60fps imo so I don’t mind it

[ripe aspen]

Is the Series S gonna run the same as the Series X or not?

[arctic grove]

For just 500 dollars

[ripe hedge]

Although I had the series S for like 2 weeks, game pass etcetc... I had to double check the price like every 2 days

Literally pause a game and check on Amazon like "wait how does this cost again? Fuuuuuck"

[visual horizon]

Xbox has some nice bonuses, GamePass in particular. But, PS5 wins me over in it's look and feel.

[serene raven]

its worse for Nintendo

[ripe aspen]

tbh as long as I have an FOV slider on Series S I’m Gucci

[visual horizon]

There's an FoV slider on all platforms.

[arctic grove]

That’s something I thought about too. How 2042 will play on the series s

[ripe aspen]

that is indeed quite pog if I do say so myself

[arctic grove]

You can make budget pc builds that have similar performance, plus you can use pcs for productive stuff

[slim quiver]

Hahaha oh my god I found myself doing the same. Never tested the Series S so I can’t really speak on it. Either way I’m really happy with this gen. It’s also kinda funny putting a series X next to a ps5 and looking at the size difference

[slim quiver]

Definitely a good take

[visual horizon]

I'd say similarly to the Series X, likely 60fps with tweaked graphics.

[arctic grove]

I’ve seen rigs that only cost around the same price as the newest consoles but never really knew if they’d perform the same, but even if they can’t for games you’re def right the advantage for productivity is still there

[ripe hedge]

Good luck finding hardware lol

[oblique finch]

Sup Alex o/

Hyped for release?! 😄

[median coral]

I own 2 BF 2042 copies technically

[arctic grove]

I know you didn’t ask me but I’m ready for the release

[arctic grove]

prebuilts are pretty swag now, good way to get all the stuff you need without scouting eBay for ages

Can’t wait to finally get ahold of this game it’s gonna be dope

[azure lodge]

Battlefield 2042 | Release (Gold/Ultimate)

Extremely happy, hyped and scared

[arctic grove]

Why scared?

[serene raven]

haypred.

[oblique finch]

I know that every developer poured in their heart and soul! So it is gonna be fine!

[visual horizon]

Alex, I know you saw my Easter Egg idea and likely can't comment due to NDA, but if I don't see it implemented upon release, I'll see you in court.

[solid ferry]

Do devs get the game for free 😂

[ripe hedge]

First on my career releasing a game this big, only worked on Live service stuff before

[tranquil coral]

https://tenor.com/view/wassup-dance-lol-hype-gif-14697751

[tranquil kettle]

is there a fov slider on bfv?

[oblique finch]

Gratz!

[tranquil kettle]

i know that most games on console dont support it

[serene raven]

they get a 99.98% discount.

[tranquil kettle]

also it can reduce frame rate

[oblique finch]

they paid with their time

[arctic grove]

Ah I see. Well judging from what dice has given us in trailers I’m sure this game is gonna be dope

[oblique finch]

but good question. do you guys get the game for free?

[median coral]

First preordered game

[arctic grove]

I just hope the specialist system doesn’t play out how I expect it will

[astral radish]

Anything below 3080 cant run 2042

[arctic grove]

No lol

[oblique finch]

Friend has a 2060, can run. Other friend has a 1070 and can run it

[ripe hedge]

Lmao my Dev PC has a 2060

[oblique finch]

Just dont expect 1440p, ultra, 144fps

[slim quiver]

Truly the dark knight we need for live service.. to stand up for us

[astral radish]

Ye but very low res and lowedt graphics 40 fps

[arctic grove]

do you work in office or at home?

[arctic grove]

nope..

[oblique finch]

I smell bs

[ripe hedge]

At home for now

[oblique finch]

What did you do before game development?

[tranquil kettle]

i mean thats for 60 fps i guess

[arctic grove]

do you prefer at home or in office?

[oblique finch]

a 2060 can run 80 to 90fps on low

same for medium, high is around 60fps

(1080p)

[slim quiver]

God I want to see battlefields battlepass…

[ripe hedge]

Software engineering for a very sad year and a half

[next onyx]

You excited releasing a big game finally?

[oblique finch]

Thats pretty cool

[midnight chasm]

https://youtu.be/-UMD-0HvkRs

[ripe hedge]

Both tbh. Doing tasks at home is better. Meetings at the office are better

[green breach]

Go to bed alex

[ripe hedge]

Totally! Feels surreal

[oblique finch]

Dont forget the coffee

[ripe aspen]

idk I didn’t play much of BFV

[next onyx]

There's a fov slider in 5

[ripe hedge]

No

[arctic grove]

Yes

[green breach]

Meetings have to be done in person. Zoom sucks

[frozen adder]

Hello guys, I just downloaded Windows and it reads the SSD only and not reading the HDD

[arctic grove]

alex what things have you worked on that we have seen already or u can tell us about

[sullen violet]

Alex you make weapons for 2042 right?

[oblique finch]

Did you actually "install" the HDD?

[median coral]

Just hoping the servers hold up

[oblique finch]

Try to go to Disk Manager. and see if it pops up there!

[green breach]

If Alex not going to bed. Someone get him a cup of coffee

[ripe hedge]

I think

[oblique finch]

Still want to see penguin mortars

[restive agate]

My bad if this ahs been asked already but the whole gamepass thing getting ea, I pre ordered gold on steam, will i get ea too or wait til the 19th?

[sullen violet]

Is it intentional the grenade launcher shells bounces off walls in 2042?

[green breach]

That can happen if hit at an angle

[frozen adder]

When I got to the partition menu it was there but I did set up windows on the SSD,after the installation it's not there

[ripe hedge]

Mostly weapon balancing and number tweaking, making sure stuff feels nice

[solid ferry]

Wait so, do you only model them? Did you even need experience in software engineering for your position at dice? (Nevermind)

[green breach]

What doesn't feel nice is punching people instead of slashing them

[ripe hedge]

Coffee at 1am is a bad idea tho

[serene raven]

thinks about how the snipers have poo balancing

[green breach]

Decaf exists

[serene raven]

i want bf1 snipers.

[restive agate]

@ripe hedge no, coffe at 4.30am is not good

[serene raven]

I doubt one dev controls all balancing, or they could do some real trolling

[sullen violet]

I think it's a bit dumb tbh, but interesting tho

[oblique finch]

Did you try to go to the disk manager again?

[ripe hedge]

I'm artistically challenged

[solid ferry]

So you dont model them? 😂

[craggy marten]

Are you prepared for the pushback and criticisms of the game?

[frozen adder]

Can you tell me how?

[oblique finch]

just type in disk manager

[ripe hedge]

Absolutely not

[green breach]

Same. Although I was proud in how my dart gun from fallout 3 came out

[ripe hedge]

Absolutely not too

[slim quiver]

If I could draw something like this I totally would for 2042

But I too am artistically challenged

[chrome storm]

Try watching this video it should explain thingshttps://youtu.be/RYYoCXh2gtw

[solid ferry]

Mind if I ask if you got a degree for software engineering, or if its just work experience? (And if you consider a degree important or not lol)

[green breach]

Not gonna lie anime girls fighting in 2042 be kind of cool

[chrome storm]

Or lookup Jayztwocents what to do after

[ripe hedge]

Joking though, I am 🙂 I'm like well based on stuff I worked before, how bad can it be 🤣

[slim quiver]

There was an artist that did an entire art line for BF1 which was super amazing

I think he called it “Battlegirls” I hope he does it for 2042

[sullen violet]

I think you guys should add M412 REX from bf4, it's pretty much the perfect sidearm in my eyes. Especially when pairing it with shorter range weapons like smg's, gives extra range to the kit. Compared to the other revolvers in bf4 it has good reload/fire speed, also the range is decent with it. Don't really matter what it's called if it functions the same way imo

[green breach]

Battlegirls be great for an April fool's event

[ripe hedge]

I do have a degree in software engineering... Fortunately for me my brain is extremely chaotic which is a great fit for game design, and turns out that having software skills helps me coordinate better with people

[green breach]

But bad in the fact he gets insomnia

[slim quiver]

Hahaha that’s actually really true

[solid ferry]

Awesome! Do you feel like you've "made it" working for such a popular company, and on a cool game aswell?

[green breach]

Gotta love those 80 hour weeks. Wait thats not a good thing.

[midnight chasm]

How is dice reacting to the nerves of 2042 players, i understand a lot of players here are excited but there are also those that are nervous and wondered that the game isnt going to be that much different from the beta, any encouraging words for them?

[green breach]

Just say old build

[craggy marten]

Aye man, just saying since it's a sad tradition that these recent games have something setting them back for success at launch.

Except BF1 from what I heard.

[void lance]

wow, thats interesting

how many weapons did u design for the game

[ripe hedge]

Hmmm not really? I mean I started making really shitty starfox clones on unity on the weekends and joining random ass game jams online

The fact that by making many of those at some point I got to be good enough so a certain company offered me a job... That's when I think I "made it" But then another did... And then Dice? Yeah I'm very happy

[craggy marten]

Starfox clones? What were they about?

[green breach]

Weird portfolio. But if it works it works

[solid ferry]

That's really cool man, game jams are the best! It's still kinda cool to just be like "I work at dice" lol

[chrome storm]

Just a random question, why is Xbox pre load the 6th and the others the 10th

[craggy marten]

Did they have their own setting or was it just a by the books Starfox game?

[serene pawn]

LOL. Yongyea just made a video trashing BF 2042 based on FPS analysis of compressed YouTube videos. He has never been this stupid before.

[green breach]

Anyways portfolio > degree. Everytime.

[candid linden]

Bf2042 is an Xbox partner

[chrome storm]

Oh I see

[green breach]

Like cod is for PlayStation

[solid ferry]

Yongyea doesn't trash things he makes videos on the general reception of things. If a lot of people complain he will make a video on it

[chrome storm]

Makes sense

[ripe hedge]

This

[craggy marten]

Hope DICE and EA don't get bought out by Microsoft

[tranquil kettle]

i mean on console

[serene pawn]

All games on Xbox allow 7 day pre loads.

[craggy marten]

Don't want to buy ANOTHER console to play Battlefield

[ripe hedge]

Setting? Lmao they were boxes and triangles

[green breach]

Both is best but good portfolio is more important than a degree

[rapid thunder]

Has anyone preordered bf2042 from Amazon? Like what and how do they give it to you on release date? PC btw

[serene pawn]

He should do some research first instead of making videos on fake news.

[craggy marten]

Ah, so just SNES Starfox.

[slow drum]

cod vanguard is shit. who’s ready to play a good fps soon

[solid ferry]

Suppose it depends a little on the country.. but in my case at least, a degree helps build a portfolio capable of getting you noticed. Of course you can do it alone, with no degree. And that's awesome. But I chose the degree route

[craggy marten]

I already am.

(Insurgency Sandstorm)

[green breach]

@solid ferry no question. Both is best of course.

[solid ferry]

I don't think you get the point in his channel 😂

[slow drum]

most would happen is xbox gets special treatment

[craggy marten]

Already is.

[ripe hedge]

Basically. I mean for me the important part then was to understand how games work on a functional level. How do you go from rendering a box to actually packaging something

[craggy marten]

Bro, Xbox users get to preload 2042 early.

[green breach]

@slow drum except for sport games. All future games would be Xbox and PC exclusive.

[slow drum]

why? that’s a horrible business decision

that just loses money

[green breach]

Gets more people into their ecosystem

[midnight chasm]

Fake? It's based off a video he watched which other people also bashed, over 6k and he spoke about what people have reported on the beta, how is reading news on reports on the beta, and giving his opinion on a game based on a trailer fake?

[chrome storm]

I wonder how well bf2042 would run on the steam deck once it comes out, I'm curious on that, I'd like to get one if reviews are good.

[craggy marten]

It's just a preload

[serene pawn]

The videos are not a good source of FPS analysis at all. The beta played way above 60fps on good PCs so I don't see where his "BF has terrible framerate" is coming from

[craggy marten]

They get to preload tomorrow

[arctic grove]

Yes

[craggy marten]

We PS5 and PC users preload on the 10th

[slow drum]

i know

[green breach]

Steam Deck has the power of an Xbox one s pretty much. Unless playing 64 players. It's gonna run bad at 128 I bet

[tired wolf]

the hell would you do playing 2042 on a handheld??? fly a plane?

[solid ferry]

It's not his it's the opinion of thousands of people online, whether they know the truth or not, a lot of people are angry about it so by making a video showing people he gets views that's how YouTube works

[arctic grove]

Loads of people had different experiences with frames by the looks of things

[stray zealot]

im tempted to play battlefield hardline
