The Army don’t even handle recruitment here its outsourced to some wank company they take 1 year minimum to get you through
6 months if lucky
there's going to be a bigger boom in cloud computing in the next decade
Facts.
I think there is going to be a lot of booms to persue
Unless the world goes to hell economically
cloud engineering is going to be one of the biggest ones with everyone switching to the cloud
That would be a bigger boom
The higher up the "tech tree", as it were, the more job security you'll have. Future-planning with experience.
At the height of Canada's involvement in Afghanistan, there was a 2-3 year wait just to get into an infantry position because of how many people were applying.
...
good point actually, at least for cloud
why were Canadians so eager to go to Afghanistan?
In the states pretty much if you don’t have any health issues you can join any part of the army pretty fast
You got the low-end of engineering for things like construction, all the way up to the high-end of nuclear engineering. STEM degrees are very valuable in our current situation.
If you’re not in shape they’ll get you in shape that’s why I say health issues
Since that isn’t a health issue
Yeah, can confirm. I would have joined the military, but I pretty much am automatically disqualified.
Jesus that is a long wait
We in a somewhat peace time over here we got no combat tours just peacekeeping
Altho mali they just had to kill some insurgents was the first action in a while so maybe that could hot up hopefully
This piece on our involvement in WW1 will give you the answer: https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/the-forgotten-ferocity-of-canadas-soldiers-in-the-great-war
The US military is so large they pretty much always have an open spot for any position or field
The UK they really test you for ALOT for health risks they strict as shit on it
I got deferred for sickle cell tests took months to be sent off and processed lucky aint have it not a issue
ah
primal rage
They're currently trying to keep on as many experienced soldiers as they can right now to avoid a brain drain.
If you’re willing to join the army and tell them where usually they won’t say no
Here atleast
brain drain?
is 2042 on gamepass?
10 hour trial is
is that ultimate or standard for pc? its only a dollar rn
Ultimate
Those with actual combat experience. There's been no real "action" since 2011 for our guys.
And it may only be for consoles idk
Other than the evacuations in August, but that was all JTF2 and CSOR.
@proven igloo Us military is pretty much
“Hey I wanna join the Air Force?”
“Here sign this”
“After boot camp and training your in”
They almost always accept someone if they are capable and willing
Whats the US fitness entry tests like
Same with any other branch
It helps having a base on every square inch of the planet.
yeah looks like it is just console
Don’t know. That’s why boot camp is free for anyone wanting to join
Yep lol. That’s why I said they are almost always willing to take time to take someone in and train them/get them into serving shape
They dont test before bootcamp? I dont know about americas system so wandering
Here you gotta go to a ac and pass some tests to even go to phase 1 training
Pretty sure it can be before or after. But boot camp is offered to anyone who can’t do it right off the start for no cost
Since you know, they want to make willingly people also physically capable for it lol
I FUCKING KNEW IT
Damn that must be painful if you rock up un prepared lol
I’m sure they can tell. If a stickman shows up they’ll prob just be like naw here’s how to train
It's weird there's a server browser for portal yet non for all out.
also no way to keep hosting a server
Is that so?
Let's wait until early access actually starts and not a fluke that someone got into the game before they should have.
I wonder. If bot lobbies are a thing, then will there be more servers full of people that may join?
I hope I'm wrong with that sloth
Yeah I'm starting to feel like I should skip BF2042 at this point. I didn't have much issue at all with anything else, but shit like that worries me. I mean quickmatch has pretty much been awful since I started playing Battlefield over 10 years ago. I don't really understand what they're doing here.
Unless the Portal server browser is the browser for both Portal and AOW? I think I read somewhere that there's going to be base 2042 servers in there.
there will be base 2042 servers but not as part of aow
Which makes zero sense
A fluke that will literally be the same thing we get the 12th lol.
so you can do conquest will only 2042 stuff
I see.
Im with sloth tho. I'm holding out till the twelfth or nineteenth
Still got the Day 0 patch, and anything that can be toggled on DICE's side not toggled yet.
Cause if day 1 is when the finishing patch is for launch they might include the essentials.
Between the FIFA guy running DICE now, Specialists replacing classes to push MtX sales, 22 weapons at launch, no server browser, wallhack abilities... I have zero faith in 2042.
I'm just not immediately jumping to conclusions.
I mean, everything we saw in those leaks will be how it is the 12th. There will be a day one 1 patch that comes out the 19th.
I don't see how operators push for micotranactions when they're a worse offer for money than bf5's option
They almost did but then they cut BFV support short
Battlefront 2
i feel like portal should just be the main mode
Not to mention I don't see any reason whatsoever that they'd cut out the server browser for AOW unless they were going full-whack on SBMM and just lied about it being "only in-game, not on-join".
Battlefield 5 also turned itself around
Battlefield 2042 | Release (Gold/Ultimate)
Releases <t:1636704000:R> (<t:1636704000:F>) Exact time is an estimate
You might be more attached to the character vut still
hype hype
I mean, that's 100% what they're for, but I do wonder why they didn't go with BFVs.
No traditional factions so everyone runs around with the same characters, added a bunch of showcase stuff to show off your character to the server, third person melee attacks... this is all being done to push mtx sales for specialist cosmetics. Its blatant
More reason to not trust DICE, SWBF2 is awful even today
pacific content was nearly a turn around but they never kept it up especially with 5.2
In 5 you can dress up your German and british soldier with individual sets
Yeah pacific was I will admit
Micro transactions for skins is completely fair. I think they'd be fine to do the premium system too tbh
How is Battlefront 2 awful? It's a really solid game
Well yeah, that is generally what happens when people don't want to pay for DLC anymore.
You'll pay more for the perfect company than you will with a perfect specialist.
Bf1 and Bfvs alpha and beta both had server browsers. 2042s doesn't, and they have issues with matchmaking they plan to have fixed by launch?
And you combine that with todays leak, It's perfectly clear there will not be a server browser for a good bit.
the problem is adding specialists at the expense of a class system. They could've figured out how to have both
hope they add server browser later tho
They wont
I want to eat my words and have dice bring in a server browser.
Maybe the reason why there isn't a server browser is because dice hasn't turned the servers on yet. Who knows.
Well they are still in Portal, I hope they have generic 2042 classes there though
Matchmaking only means they can use SBMM which somehow "Drives Engagement"
You're assuming a lot lmao
Or it’s a day 1 patch thing
Seeing how cod has done it and ea takes after it, it's pretty evident.
Grab trax
Yeah
Wtf autocorrect
What would be the point of no server browser and only match making if there won't be sbmm?
Extrapolating based on available evidence and patterns of behavior
Cus I can see it not being there for early access but being added for full launch
Im on that gun, sloth
It's definitely plausible however he's acting like he knows for sure. He's jumping to conclusion instead of waiting till release, he may be correct but we have to wait and see
Matchmaking takes time to get right, a server browser is a very basic thing. You'd think they'd have that first if it was a "not ready for launch" thing.
It's the 31st, you completely missed the window man.
Everyone is way ahead of you now.
i also hope we have lobbys and we stay in em for next map
Wait till launch
The beta matchmade you into a new server after each round, so unlikely
ill probably be exploring the maps in portal or playing hourglass during early access
has there been any talk as how cosmetics you earn will carry over into the next game or not? one think i like about cod is even when new game comes out you can still use all your old stuff in warzone also any news on how long 2042 will be supported for?
Goodbye traditional Battlefield, its been good knowing you
Save us Portal
You're our only hope
Traditional Battlefield left in Bad Company
cringe
Not loading into the same server after every round would make having 128 players kind of pointless if you have to repopulate it from scratch every time.
lol
Thats what the beta did
Does Dozer’s shield still deflect bullets or are they gonna remove that
That's true
I'm pretty sure it only deflects when you're crouched
Still really OP
It's an achievement/trophy to kill 7 people with it in a round.
a shield should deflect nukes if it doesnt its not a good game
Not at all
Bruh 7 people with deflection
Assume bots count.
The beta did this, and it was brought up by a lot of people. DICE instead addressed that theyre working on a fix for why it's putting you in matches with more AI than players, insinuating this is intentional and not a bug.
how will you manage to do that
the specialists will need balancing but that’s fine
The beta did not do this unless it was platform specific.
? It would put you into a new match every time the round ended
so any server you join will be AI filled until more people join?
no more waiting for more players?
You should read the comment you quoted again, I was talking about servers.
And how that would be ridiculous.
Battlefield leaks
if i can have 127 bots vs eachother in portal😩
Books were better.
I know you were, I was just saying it doesn't load you into the same server
Totally accurate battle simulator
It did.
sergeant boxers
I was with new players every round for both PC and Console, in my experience
You know i realize i almost never use the server browser in BFV but i did use it in BF1 and BF4
I just go to tides of war and pick a node and play
I only use the server browser to ensure I'm in a full server
My game would end and sometimes I'd be put directly into a lobby that was half over.
i managed to take a screenshot of a 15 v 15 in bf2042 when the servers were shutting down
You had to matchmake after every round afaik
yeah
locker of mirrors
and half of the time u enter lobby mid game
yeah
Lol
Honestly, if there's no server browser for AOW, DICE is making a humongous mistake. Like, this might actually be a deal-breaker for me on whether or not I get the game. Not only do I use them to find full lobbies for modes I want to play (because quickmatch has ALWAYS been garbage at doing this in Battlefield), but I also sort by ping. There has never been a time in my life playing Battlefield where quickmatch has given me a better lobby than a server browser.
its a sin a battlefield game doesnt have a server browser now
The issue devs said was present with the matchmaking was getting into lobbies with more AI than players, not the fact it put you into a new lobby each time
Which leads me to believe its intentional
Yeah, because they probably are going full-whack on SBMM.
well u aint wrong
That's always what it's been lmao
Though now we know Portal doesn't have breakthrough for some reason, so there is that going for it
Fuck sake.
i still find 128 players incredible for a battlefield game but orbital was so empty 80% of the time i would look around
Yeah, I'm just gunna cancel and play the trial. Breakthrough was what I was looking forward to. If I can't choose to only get breakthrough lobbies, then fuck this.
Sounds like a solid plan
had dice/ea said how long they plan to support 2042 before the next entry?
Two years
no we still need big robot
There, canceled. I'm able to get the trial on console through EA Play, yes?
Yes
thanks, is it safe to assume all the cosmetics i earn will not ne usable past outside of 2042? one think i like about cod is oyu can still use your cosmetics from older games in warzone
Alright, bet.
I hope not lol
but then if they add that little kids will complain that battlefield is copying COD
remember COD inventing running
Try CEX if eb wont take it
It blows me away that DICE can have such great ideas and then hinder them with extremely backward ones lol
Something tells me a decision this fucking stupid didn't come from the devs.
Probably upper management.
Portal? Amazing idea
Being held back strongly because of faction locked content, and no breakthrough
AoW? Pretty regular idea but still being held back by no Server browser
So frustrating that these types of things happen every BF release lol
But hopefully they're changed soon
But you can specifically? https://youtu.be/oGx1O-KAovA?t=136
You can even play it coop.
Honestly, I'm still gunna wait and see how everything plays out. I also don't want my Xbox account to be flagged for refund abuse. 😂
did AI have different skins?
Sorry for delayed response, I am also working.
as far as socail things go like voice chat, does battlefield or cod have more people that talk iyo?
I'd say BF does because it's more teambased
when have your random squad mates communicated to you in battlefield
when have teenagers yelled slurs at you in a COD game
Kind of wish he checked the search tags in the Portal browser to see if there's any "DICE" or "Player made" options.
I swear leakers aren't the ones that are hype for the game, they just want the fame.
Hardly ever post shit that people actually want to know.
Well yeah, why do you think Tom bandwagons every "controversy" so hard?
Gotta stay relevant.
Interesting that Provence was the image in the Portal section
Could mean absolutely nothing, but it would be cool if that was season 1s portal map
Yep.
Going to be some placeholders in an unpatched game.
^^ Most likely
Oh yeah I know it's a placeholder
I mean I definitely appreciate the new leaker because it's still more info that we got that was never announced yet even so close to launch, but at the same time...
The new leaker is also a child so lol
Probably wasn't the account holder either. I'd almost bet on it.
Whoever owns that account (on their device, not Reddit) is probably fucked. No way a child gets into a closed playtest like that.
I seriously doubt they'll actually lock the account or anything
Nah, at most any progress they made gets wiped.
They didn't technically do anything wrong, it was entirely DICE.
We all do lol
However if it was a physical copy, the retailer could be in hot water just for breaking street date.
I wouldn't risk my account (sorry fellers 😂), but damn if I wouldn't go ahead and answer all the questions I got.
I'm not very pumped for the trial because I got my question answered (whether or not content is faction locked in Portal), but it will be interesting to see the flight physics for BF3 jets
Speaking of jets, I want to see how long a server lasts when a badmin turns off any way to shoot them down.
I'm hoping they've improved the physics, but that's pretty unlikely lol
It’s so unlikely that it’s laughable that it would’ve been improved
I deadass don’t think anybody will even be going positive in jets in 2042 
I saw some pretty impressive pilots in the beta.
All the impressive pilots I saw pointed out how broken jets were lol
Silk and Niccaman and Ranger Dave all said it wasn’t worth it
Not in a Op way either
Ranger Dave himself only got a 4 piece by abusing the VTOL mode on B building roof
Though everyone not them still learning how to fly probably played a part.
All some of the best vehicle players with channels btw 
I just really don't understand the lack of transparency. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they should go the route of Cyberpunk and completely back themselves into a fucking corner, destined for failure, but at the same time...
If I developed a game that was going public (I've developed a few, but nothing that went public), I'd want people to know what my game was about, what its limitations were, how it plays, et cetera. I don't understand this whole "let's just not say fucking anything" tactic that is rife in the industry.
It's like, I feel it's only done that way to A, generate more hype and demand for the game than would originally be had if they were honest with the marketing, and B, to generate pre-orders based on A.
If I have gamenpass on pc do I access to the trial? And when is the trail? Please and thanks
No the game has gone gold. There are aspects they could 100% be talking about right now with no issues. Why they won't? Who knows.
They won't because they know it will get negative reception.
Which is exactly why Straatford was misleading people on the subreddit lol
I see some people doing well with jets but I don’t see a point when both: helis are so fucking bonkers OP and MAA is just gonna spam ground to air at you
MAA was pretty meh when I used it.
This comment from him honestly makes me so frustrated post BFV and Battlefront 2
Maybe the flak cannon you can put on the MAV will fair better
The flak cannon on the MAV looks better
That's really annoying. 😒
They did that all the way through BFV
SWBF2 atleast had community transmissions and CM’s discussing in the discord
But the first 8 months were rough
BFV never got better in that regard
I genuinely don't get it. Like, I know companies only care about the almighty dollar at this point, but at the same time, if masses of people wouldn't buy the game based on this information and they withhold it, shouldn't that be classified as false marketing? Building up an expectation for something to happen that won't?
False marketing is VERY loose
For those that haven't reached enlightenment and opened their third eye, this absolute unit: https://twitter.com/temporyal/status/1455882460462518277/photo/1
Tankers will cower in fear.
The senior design director at Ripple Effect kept telling people content was faction locked. The official BF twitter said so too. But then you have straatford doing things like this lol.
It could also be an honest misunderstanding of the question.
Yeah, no lol.
They need to say "I can't answer that" if they don't instead of misleading people
What launch pre load meen?
Maybe I just misunderstood it then, which is possible. I wasn't all that interested in all that stuff from Portal to begin with, especially not when you gain XP at a lower rate depending on the settings. Don't have much info on that but it's enough to push me away.
You can download but not play it
Nah, you didn't. I was agreeing with you on the silliness of it.
It's so people can download the game sooner so they're able to play on launch. @arctic grove
Oh
?
So even for people who didn't buy the game ?
Oh
Like, say I'm releasing a game on the 10th of December. It's a big game, takes a lot of space, and I know not everyone has gigabit internet. I'd open the pre-load up a few days before launch so the people with shit internet won't be waiting days after the game launches to play.
You must buy the game to install it
Ohhhh ok
Seems legit finna run it on my 1050 GTX ryzen 3550H
🤨
8 core processor
👍
👍
💯
👍
Yep
Wait so how to u pre download it when u pre orderd it because mine just says 4 days or what ever it is were do u go to pre download it
It depends on your platform
You can see all the pre load dates at #game-news
It should just start downloading by itself when it can if your console is on but I never trust that I do it manual
Ye same
at least i dont have to do it at midnight
You abit late but thanks
Imma delete bfv
And install 2042 😌
what if i dont have a playstation
but like where do i go
you mean like gog or epic?
can i transfer the money from my epic to gog?
bruv
standard
preload 10th
release 19th
well i dont have playstation
its for pc
that's why i said epic or gog
no u say what preload 16th
some people try so hard to help people but are just bad at explaining
it is what it is
nah i dont get mad bro i just think they change date
well excuse me for think you would know anything about this
anyone else going to play the bc2 soundtrack when loading into / playing bc2 portal maps? 
its ok i just wake up so im 25 iq XD
specialists are trash


They're not everyone's cup of tea but I'm sure we can all warm up to them if we give them a proper chance
and i will continue doing so
I think it's fair to say Dice went into the development of the game knowing specialists are not for everyone. She'll be right mate.
Have some faith in dice
They're trying to appeal more to the casual market, like with every game after battlefield 2
Good on them for doing so
I bought this game for specialists 🤩
Who's your favourite?
Have to play em first to find out
Hmm Korean girl looks interesting 🤨
mhm
battlefield sucks
Indian tech guy seems fun too hacking shit
I'm keen to try out the wing suit
Maria was my fav from beta I had fun reviving
I barely revived because of the weapon swap thing lol
at your mom
Weapon swap rarely happened to me maybe 3-4 times during beta
this mf trying to get banned
I’m looking forward to irish
when is the pre load date for pc?
Armor from kills deplorable shield trophy system
This man gonna create another discord account
Local times are on Origin
10 AM UTC on 10th
pre load is the 11th for me haha
How so
three days till preload 
I'm in new zealand
Hello
Hello
hello
I see Botan profile
i see haachama profile
...?
So we will have pre load then maybe 0 day patch on early access launch hm
I watched "Josee the tiger and the fish".
Very good movie one.
Chucky is a fun show to watch rn
this aint the place for it but i am planning to watch it
yessss it is lol
You should.
Battlefield 2042 | Release (Gold/Ultimate)
Releases <t:1636704000:R> (<t:1636704000:F>) Exact time is an estimate
Come on bro. Just 5 days left.

DIY time machine might help you.
We can officially start freaking out when the timer displays seconds
milliseconds
tbh I'll freak out when I'm able to pre load it lol
I bet there is server problem at launch date.
nov 12 is such a good time for me because thats when i have my thanksgiving holiday 

5 days will fly so fast 
Being able to schedule sick time (specifically sick time, not things like PTO) is something I've always found kinda funny. "Hey boss, I'm going to be sick this day in a few weeks." 😆
Shhh... Please don't tell this plan to my boss.
How some Jobs thinks you need to plan getting sick
You can also have "sick days" when you need to schedule appointments. Like getting your covid jab
Welcome to the US, honestly.
Ikr
True, true.
will it really though 
That's why I submit it and then don't show up on those days
I say we get a vr battlefield game
ok

I feel like that graph, even though it's just being used as a meme, is missing a few steps.
Wine and normal rain are wrong labeled
Also lemon juice
doing a give for battlefield https://twitter.com/NJayHighwayss/status/1457247861872099338?s=20
Yeah that meme is kinda acidic tbh

Not to mention they should have done hydrochloric acid instead of battery acid, because...I mean the only time you're gunna be fucking around with battery acid is if A, you're a methhead, or B, you're an idiot (or C, you're a chemist, but shhhh). Hydrochloric acid is much more common.
Roughly similar on the pH scale too.
Also I probably should mention I'm talking about diluted HCl (which is what most people using it would be doing). Pure HCl has a pH of 0. 😂
Anyone here played BF3
Many eons ago.
I hope the beta bots were on the lowest difficulty setting and they turn it up to medium after launch
Cuz let's be real... it's on low for the noobs
Even better, no bots
Bots = infinite replayability (provided the servers are still live).

With no server browser for AOW you'll need bots anyhow lol
well, I tried out the Vanguard campaign and guess what, there's a plane mission ripped of from the BF3 going hunting mission, like they were on a carrier, getting briefed while in barracks and then checking wings, hmm, sounds similar to me don't you think
BF3 invented takeoffs I had no idea
I'm fine with no server browser for aow as long as they NEVER put me in the wrong region
I can't say I remember exact details, but reusing assets is pretty common. In fact it's the smartest way to go about development.
no, I mean they pretty ripped off the mission when you look at it closer
avg bf fan
smooth brain
Server browser is extremely important for people in regions with low player counts, and lack of servers
aka me
look I like both, but I think this really got my attention tho
Speaking of bots, I could hop on Battlefront 2 right now and have a full game, 16 years later. Bots good. Empty server bad.
Offline, too
You'll always be able to play it
When's midnight of November 12 for australians? anyone know? PT i mean
True, that's the main difference here.
Also the bots are dumb as bricks, but still.
Bothan spies would eat you alive tho lmao
😂
Just give us a setting to limit our matchmaking regions pls
Gotta keep your neck broke so you can see those spies.
skill issue
?
I have to assume based on past MP games of late that you'll at least be able to select your region.
It's become more common.
The beta put me in 400 ping servers very often so i had to join and leave repeatedly until i got lucky enough to be in a local server
5 days babyyy
Oh yikes.
😬
Move to a better ping area ez
Midnight 12am PT is like 4pm GTM +8 right?
But they said this is a bug they have addressed so hopefully it'll go better at launch...
someone check my math
...Your math is...like...wrong in both directions. 😅
6-8 new weapons each season apparently
Oh boy am i bad at math
Apparently
Still blows me away that 22 weapons is all we're getting lol
PST is GMT-7, I think. Or GMT-8. I honestly can't remember.
Either way, a time of November 12th 12 AM PST would be, for example...around 7 or 8 AM in the UK. I think.

i thought this was right
22 on release and potentially 30 next month. I don't mind if the weapon are all unique to each other honestly and we have at least 4 lmgs
I was still wrong though
That leak is from henderson who also said 2 new aow maps and 2 portal maps per season, and then he later said we'll get only 1 portal map per season, sooo...
obviously not the 7th, but the 12th
71 weapons in total with portal tho no?
Content is faction locked in Portal, meaning you can only use a few at a time.
Was going off this
sure..but i ain't just gonna be playing one faction the whole launch week :larssmile:
Okay? That doesn't take away from the fact you can barely use any of it at a single time.
i'll be jumpin in bf3 matches, 2042 ones, 1942.. 😮
do you use the entire category of assault rifles in one round in bf4?
Having an option to disable the faction lock and combine content would be better.
i only play with like the same 2 or 3 each match or so xD
I don't care about metas.
i ain't talking about metas, son
Freedom is Suika's point here.
i talkin' about the f2000, baby ❤️
F2000 is lit
Freedom to choose the most meta weapon
sad it's not there in 2042 😦 or the g36c from what i gather 😭
Portal is literally dedicated to your BF experience. Having the option to disable that faction lock only pushes that idea further.
As long as all the guns play differently enough, we should be happy, but not happy with 2 lmgs
i wouldn't mind ze removal of weapon spefici faction stuff, but that's not what we were discussing a bit back. it's about weapon count in overall. and that's 71
and that ain'tt oo shabby
71 guns in 2042?
I'd rather have more freedom, I don't like playing with the same 2 or 3 weapons.
Most if those come from Portal
with all the portal weapons it is around that count i believe yeah.
I'm saying that weapon count doesn't mean much when you can only use a handful at a time.
Ah damn I thought that was base game for a quick second
4 weapons per class is enough weapon variation, but we don't have that
Anything else, and you're basically playing a reskinned gun
I don't think so, should be more like BF3 and 4 launches imo. But that's just my opinion.
there will be servers where one match you're playing 2042 vs bf3, other a bc2 vs bf1942. it's gonna feel more varied than a single server in bf1 where you might have different factions each round, but not feeling different at all cause you use the same ass weapons and just look at different voiced skins
Nah, most of those guns were just reskins. Give me guns that play differently enough to make me want to use them.
Judging from the sniper category, it seems like exactly what I said is gunna be true. One for close range, one for mid, one for long. Like, imagine having the FY-JS, M40, and SRR-61. That's what I'm assuming those 3 snipers are gunna be like. I would imagine the other weapons are gunna follow some similar pattern, but we'll know in a few days, I guess.
I need the deagle too
besides, dice likes to add like 4 weapons with each chapter so far. they did for bf1, bfv, bf4. so weapon count in the end isn't gonna matter anyway
Pistols seem to be roughly the same as well. Glock for a mid-damage, mid-range semi-auto pistol, that...weird machine pistol shit for close range, low-damage, and the revolver for high-damage, long range.
You're still locked to the faction you're playing as equipment. It won't feel varied because of that. I don't know why anyone would disagree with the ability to disable the faction lock anyway. It brings zero negatives.
bf2042 still has more content than most bf launches so far
Pistols are fine honestly besides the lack of a deagle
All I need is my handcannon with a 3x on it.
Gimme a pocket sniper over a deagle any day.
That's what the revolver is for
Yep.
The ROF on it is a bit low, however. Might just go with the Glock. I love Glocks anyway.
variety isn't brought by how much choice you're given, it's done by the selection that's made for you. bf4 has a shitton of maps but its variety feels lacklustre due they're all the same boring filler map design, bfv has fewer maps but has more variety due the different playstyles they cater for and how they are more spacious or cramped (ina good way) designed
Do we know the scope attachments for sidearms?
I don't really mind that, but I also don't think they all felt like reskins. I'd rather have more content to unlock and customize. BF3 and BF4 gave a lot freedom and variety because of this. It's a sandbox game, I'm more interested in lots of options than a few
The revolver had a scope for it in the beta, I would assume it has one in the full release.
Other than that, just regular pistol sights and stuff. Mini RDS and the like.
@vagrant bluff yo
wtf
go bacc.
Eh, many of the weapons in those games didn't play too differently if you ask me. Hecc, carbines were just assault rifles for classes that didn't have any
no.
carbines not gd accuract
over range
nothing competes with ace23
Also, most of the guns in BF3 and 4 were reskins. Very few of them actually had any notable performance differences. They all did the same damage (outside of the higher-caliber ones), they all had roughly the same or similar fire rate... I mean it was a pretty boring weapon selection. That's why I don't really care about having 22 on launch.
I wouldn't care if we could disable the faction lock, but it appears we'll have to wait for that.
Also the AR160 takes a fat shit on your ACE 23.
2 jets and 2 tanks in total (for the 2042 era) after BFVs variety at launch is ridiculous lol.
what
Pistols all play differently enough, remove shotguns, add more lever actions, and add one-two more lmgs
And that's another reason I'm not bothered. The weapons seem to play differently.
We don't know that for sure though.
go bacc. to ur pfp
We do know that about pistols though and the new shotgun snipers
...Shotgun snipers...?
16x scope and slug rounds are your worst nightmare
for what
I did that in BC2 a lot. I'd be counter-sniping with the NS2000 on Heavy Metal.
no can do, im a jew
Ban shotguns
I've already given my feedback about the lack of weapons to Alex so I won't continue on, but the lack of vehicles do be bothering me.
Getting headshots on snipers from 400-500m away with a shotgun loaded with slugs was prime time fun time.
How many? Haven't seen many complain about that
2 tanks, 2 jets, in total for the 2042 era.
BFV set the new standard for the amount of launch vehicles.
And they were varied and unique.
for typin ok. too much, m0d got 🅱️issed
Wat
To be fair, ww2 had a ton of variations with tanks
We have a lot of tanks that could be added now. They don't seem to care about locking vehicles to country.
But as I've said already lol, wouldn't mind this if we could remove the faction lock.
I don't mean country based vehicles, but rather different class types of vehicles
hello everyone not sure if this is right place to ask if not sorry, is the series x install only 51.4gb ?
Will there be Walter White from Squid Game specialist in the future?
Bro why is everyone so hyped with Squid Game
it doesn't have to be in everything
I feel that way with a million other things.
Because squids are awesome
Oh sorry
Walter white is from among us
Like Among Us, for example. I almost wish that game didn't blow up. It's so annoying to hear about it all the time.
It died out
Amogus
Like splitgate
Exactly, i don't see why its a hype, its just boosted trend
One of these days I'm gunna have to watch Squid Game though, just so I can say that I've watched it.
Wdym? There's still plenty of that
Definitely not as much, but enough to add more than 2 tanks in total lol
Among us lellll bad game
Among Us really isn't that bad of a game, it's just supremely overrated.
So sad we'll only be able to use the Bradley as BC2 classes
Only good to get urself a headache by 10 people screaming in ur ear
watch high boi
Not really since we've sort of consolidated the roles of tank into one and a couple variants, but depending on the amount of customization, I don't think it'll matter much.
Remember when fidget spinners was a thing
Sure, but still. I'd rather have more vehicle options than one tank that can do it all. That's incredibly boring imo. Giving multiple tanks specific roles like in V is a hell of a lot better.
I mean, tell that to the modern military
That's why I said use multiple countries vehicles.
Which they're already doing.
Everyone wanted a modern game and that's what we got, a more modern game
i just cant wait to play the game so i don't have to see people on reddit/discord whining about the game
im looking forward to this game very much
Isn't there a Russian tank for their side?
Fidgets have always been a thing, it's just that for whatever reason, they blew up and became trendy to have for like 3 months.
There's the French vehicle, I forget whats its called, so they don't mind using multiple countries. Even so, I'd rather things be innacurate to give more freedom and fun than be restricted to a single countries vehicles.
How are you having less fun by using the same vehicle but with a different skin?
I compared it to BFV for a reason lol.
Skins can have a drastic impact. It may sound dumb to you, but it's just human psychology.
But it wouldn't be anything like battlefield 5
They can give individual tanks their own roles. It's a video game, it doesn't need to reflect reality.
Gun goes brrrrrrrr, make people happi in game
BFV had such a good system for vehicles finally and I'm just frustrated we're back to BF4 levels of uninteresting. Just my opinion, though.
I mean...outside of the fact that everyone was bitch-made and just camped hills.
so when is lunch trailer
They're trying to reflect a more modern world and in a more modern world, one tank pretty much does everything which I don't really mind. Maybe more customizability would suffice for you?
w8 if a man preloads why cant a man play against bots
wtf ea
also
why no mixing of factions
wtf ea
Talk in full sentences for Christ's sake.
also
why only 22 guns
wtf ea
also
He's chading over you
An option to disable to the faction lock in Portal would be fine with me. Theres plenty of vehicles in the game, we're just limited in Portal for seemingly no reason.

why only 3 side arms 3 SIDE FUCKING arms
wtf ea
like bruh
3 SIDE ARMS
duddde
this is some next lvl bs, how long does it take to model a gun lmfa0
and animate it
New weapons will probably get added in the free battlepass to unlock
yea waiting again
i mean am stil hyped
but equally disappointed
I went in hoping we'd be able to combine BC2, BF3, and 2042 vehicles (and BF1942 for extra fun) but I was sorely mistaken lol.
hey guys
The majority would have to speak up but unfortunately you all are just a small minority but maybe they'll add it in time
ok. knows everything
no
4 days and 23 hours
We're only a minority because of how many people think you can do it. When launch comes we won't be.
I mean, you can do that. I wonder if we'll be able to make our own conquest mode? That'd honestly be the best thing possible.
You can't do either lol.
man idk at this p0int if bf2042 doesnt make it, ea might kill the BF franchise like Medal of Honor
Nah, you're a minority because most people don't really care right now
As much as I hate to say it, the majority of gamers are knuckle-draggers who legit don't care about what's in a game. The smaller communities that actually care about video games and their features are like, such a tiny percentage of the total playerbase.
Battlefield will never die lol
that wd be giga sad
well MOH did so.....
and its as old as BF
We don't know that yet. We'll have to wait until we can get hands on with the logic Editor
m0nie is m0nie
I'm talking about the online community which is where DICE gets most of their feedback outside of internal data.
Battlefield is more popular than MOH
We do know it though. They said so in the briefing.
Cause MOH is dead rn 
warfighter was gd
I mean even before then
true
They said you couldn't play conquest and mix and match, not that you couldn't make your own conquest
Hold on let me copy and paste real quicm
dude this server quite
why
also why sl0w m0de
lma0
The slow mode is to combat shitheads that type one-word lines like you do.
It gets very noisey in here once the Americans wake up
ok.
i mean why ur on keyb0ard
u gotta spam enter
How about type out a complete thought? Have you tried that? Maybe slowmode wouldn't be such a complaint.
bad habit
Ah, yeah, look at me on my keyboard.
i like to type in bits
Well, seeing that vanguard improved a lot since the beta maybe 2042 will do the same.
151
ok. aint got those 🅱️0wers
i usually type better on m0bile
since i got no fat clicky enter key
on my keyboard
soz
Keep going
Yeah don’t stop there
Slowmode should have a longer delay, so you actually type more than one sentence each message
dude not breakthrough
Where does it say that you can't make your own conquest mode??
"Free-For-All and Team Deathmatch are adjustable with the same tools, but can be further built upon with the Rules Editor,"
Meaning Rules Editor is TDM and FFA only
If anything, that makes it seem as if we can make conquest in team death match
Being in a group chat with you must be like:
I don't think you understood what I was asking
How?
"Your Rules" 
pov: saying that LGBTQ is ok
Nothing insinuates you can make conquest from TDM lol
You can make your own. You just can't do something like all bf3 classes with all weapons from bf3, 1942 and 2042. You can only have bf3 classes with bf3 weapon. Ffa and tdm you CAN mix them though
But Justin Wiebe said you can't anyway
In the logic Editor, are we able to make OUR OWN conquest mode. Not the premade one dice has
No you can't lol
Again, not what I'm asking
ratio
It's TDM and FFA only, as shown in the briefing
This isn't TikTok or Twitter.
me who doesnt uses both
cool
U fell off
I guess I'll find out myself since neither of you understand what I'm asking
what happens when u got an ok. in the server
Justin Wiebe said you cannot build off of Conquest in the Rules Editor, only TDM and FFA.
soz
tik tok is full of twerking bitches
thats true
That's not what I'm asking though
twitter is full of mfs saying that kpop is a world
lmao true
What are you asking?
thats true
and discord is full of || chads ||
#TruthForToday

I told you two times over already. I'll just wait until next week to see for myself what's possible.
thats why ok. is here
and reddit is full of anti memers
You cannot make Conquest from the TDM or FFA presets in the rules editor. This would require flag placements, which TDM or FFA do not have
instaounce is full of shit
Reddit is full of people who think they're more intelligent than they really are.

true 
memes
Instagram is vanity personified, and Twitter and TikTok are both distilled stupidity.
Planet Earth is full of people who think they're more intelligent than they really are
Eh, we don't really know what we're able to do in portal though with the logic Editor
yes, human = bad
Yep.
bro like
Twitter is an actual wasteland tho, it should be deleted
you go on twitter and if you type "Kpop is fake"
well humans still more intelligent than the average non-human so
yo ass gonna get spanked by 1 quadrillion mfs
omg cancel culture incoming
Korean pop isn't fake though. It's a real thing that exists.
ik but
I'm not a kpop fan, I'm just saying it exists.
Um i am sorry but is this battlefield channel?
dude who cares abt kpop lol
there are mf saying "JIMIN IS MY HUSBAND AND I TOOK INDIA WITH HIM"
Welcome to teenage girls.
just cause it does doesnt mean it should

Inddeed my thoughts why we talkin abt low taste mooosiq
here
if you see people fight, then yes.
Keep typing
Indeed. Let's talk about speacialists and how they suck
I mean, I may not be a fan of kpop but it's a whole lot better than some of the shit out there.
Mumble rap, for example.
Indeed br0ther
bro bf portal is gonna be crazy
ok. 😃
I'd rather listen to a bunch of boybands than listen to a bunch of people high on lean going bluhbluhblubhb to a trap beat.
cant w8 for playin bf3 again
ca🅱️sian b0rder 128 players gonna be lit
yes
lmao
I wanna see how all specialists are playing
Yeah , i don't care about bugs and stuff, i am only concerned about performance issues, small bugs in a game with such big game is acceptable, but performance issues and frame drops are not
me who still plays bf3 but on a ps3
Not sure yet xd
good point, same
giga chad
Gotta get that PS5 fam.
I mean, that doesn't answer anything. I already know we can't use the logic Editor in conquest and rush and if anything, makes it seem like we're able to make our own truly unique things, but who knows the extent until we have access
@arctic grove ps5 and pc gang
not me, i play bf3 on 🅱️C
The presets you have to build off of are TDM and FFA. You cannot make conquest from those two things, he's saying so here. Waiting is fine but I'm not sure what else you could make of this.
never understood why kpop is so damn cringge
like they said the n word
didnt get cancelled
and the fans are like "that aint racist"
dont say illegal w0rds
I wish everyone would stop using that word, honestly.
5 days lets gooooo
well it is
didnt said it YET
ik just sayin
illegal w0rds=illegal places
3 days to download
Letsss goooo
Does anyone play battlefront 2?
Hypeeee
He isn't saying that though. He's saying you can't use the logic Editor in conquest or rush because scripts are already in place and it would mess with the scripts if you were able to.
Babyyyyyy
Does anyone play bf2
Yes but you can only build off of TDM and FFA, so Portal modes at their core will follow the logic of those two modes.
There are no flags in TDM lol.
I play Battlefront 2...the 2005 version. 🙃
Still good
But this is just going in circles at this point so I'm just gonna drop it
They'll follow the logic of whatever you want, or whatever the extent of the logic Editor, but we'll see soon enough
Ima leave real quick
Debatable, may🅱️ n0t heaven
chad moment

its like everytime i talk i get 🅱️anned
ik the rules
I like your name
i cracked it twice and literally got insta banned
for 3 days twice
be careful
You can only override a single weapon apparently, you're not adding it to the pool. Vehicles cannot be forced spawned, or added to the pool.
So that means no way to remove the faction lock at all currently, rip.
this is bs
tbfh
i wanna rock my m16a3 all day
wtf dice
Those are mutes. Not bans. Bans don't have a timelimit.
Uh oh, carbon is here

Henlo
Henlo
Could anyone explain the difference between Rush & Breakthrough to me please?
Breakthrough is Rush but with flags instead of bombs.
Rush is one objective per time
Breakthrough is capture both flags at the same time to access next step
well true, but i recall gettin banned for like a week or something on a differnet server
Ticket dynamics are the same
so bans can have a time limit
So I can assume Rush would have more action right?
you can hear "beep beep beep" sound in Rush. also, after Mcom got rekt. You can't take it back.
Kinda
yep
When one bomb is there, the action is focused
more intense than Breakthrough for me.

Until Rush allows you to destroy the objectives manually like you could in BC2 it will never be as good as it was back then.
I'm just talking about on here. Don't care how they do it on other servers.
Oh right, i'm unmuted now
Wassgood yall
Music. Music very good.
So what we complaining about today....
Lemme guess, weapon count?
That was yesterday
Oh my bad then what's today lol
We will see when people wake up
Brightside The killers
No server browser for AOW.
ok.
Aside from that I don't know.
I figure people in the eu have woken up now, it's 20 past 10 am
You can see destruction on Arica harbour in the new portal trailer so I have hopes for the remastered Bc2 maps at least
But it's in portal
Americans still asleep
😐
You can browse aow games on portal
heyyy h0wdy
Doesn't really make much difference if Portal has a server browser because it's a completely different mode and doesn't have breakthrough.
I think what shes saying is that server browser in AOW was to be expected
Rush is literally breakthrough
No it isn't.
Nah
no 💀
Rush isn’t breakthrough
I've seen you in here all day, are you bored and waiting for the game?
One aerver browser for all modes seems right
Rush was a completely different design
It has alot of difference and its faster pace
It seems better to include a server browser
Pretty much. 😂
Got shit else to do.
2 server browsers for 2 separate modes was never gonna hsppen
Im still wondering for 24/7 servers
Idk how people expected so
That also means it’s very easy to make SBMM a reality now on AOW
does anyone know for wich skin is the midnight bundle for?
You can browse aow games in the portal server browser anyway
Casper.
that kinda sucks ngl
I’d be surprised if SBMM is not in now
Server browsers kinda confirm those things don’t exist
But with matchmaking?
cancelling my pre order
100% thinkin there’s a formula
What I really want is a server bowser
to get gold edition 
Why expect 2 server browsers for 2 modes
I already canceled. I'm gunna do the trial and give a real hard think if this is worth my money.
It’s not 2 server browsers for 1 mode
That's ridiculous expectations
I swapped ulti to gold today
It’s 1 server browser for AOW so you can filter games
Bro you can't have 2 server browsera for portal and aow
That also means without a server browser you can only host games in portal
Why not?
1 for each
i dont only want server browser i want lobbys too
wdym you cant
Have 1 serve rbrowser for both (which is what they did) and that's good
It’s a completely different mode
They didn't though.
they didnt
and also ea has a lot of devs on this game
They didn’t do 1 server browser for both
They never have Xd
Shes saying server browser exists for portal only
You can see aow games in the portal server browser
why not 2 separted server browser so i can dearch for aow games without having to open portal
@next onyx I'm updating to Windows 11 lol...
Bouta go dogfight in the pacific who joining me
Would be pointless
How
If you turn out to be right I'll eat my words. As it stands, it doesn't seem like this is a thing. It seems like Portal is just going to be Portal and AOW is gunna be quickmatch with two options of CQL and Breakthrough.
Why have 2 separate browsers when you can have 1
Lessens the workload and makes it more convenient

I do miss Battlelog
Being on console never really experienced batttlelog
so underrated
thats sad
yo does anyone know if we can use bf3 bc2 and 1942 weapons in a 2042 v 2042 server? like thatd be wild if we can adjust that rule
I get the convenience of it though
If AOW is quick matches only I’m immediately suspicious of SBMM. It will only take a few days for people to figure out if it exists or not anyways
We can't
In a tdm or ffa server, yes
Weapons are segregated into eras
well thats gd, that way u got strong teams
i hated when my team cant play
Nah SBMM is not meant for BF
So you can't do 2042 soldiers with m16a3s
also true
Ah not this "not meant for bf" shit
damn, hope they change that itd be great to just have all the era weapons available as an option
Sbmm isn't meant for battlefield tho
Not to mention SBMM is really hard to get right, as is evident by all the games that have shitty SBMM.
The game is too large
u gettin 🅱️anned vr0
Did you really just shit on my hopes and dreams like that Way
Devs will do what they want, you don't decide what's meant for bf or not, they do
People who play the objective: 👑
People who dont play the objective: 🗑
vr0 u dice dev or wat
nice
I mean it goes against what BF has 100% been about. I don’t give a damn about specialists or whatever, but battlefield is like the last bastion of no SBMM triple A shooters
My hopes were already crushed
