battlefield-2042

[fossil trench]

Every company does it

[proven chasm]

basically I ate last friday and need to get back hungry by friday to eat battlefield 2042

[green breach]

Insomniac will do either two smaller games or one big one.

[nova idol]

I just dont think thats true

[fossil trench]

Every. Single. One.

[rare tendon]

Found Ratchet wayy too short tough

[nova idol]

Do a lot of AAA devs do it? Yeah

But no where near all of them

[green breach]

Why oh why do I have to work Friday. Rather work tomorrow and get off Friday.

[solar tinsel]

It was, BUT I still loved the game, and I don't regret buying it for launch either

[nova idol]

A lot of the big players but thats why theyre big players

[tame cobalt]

challenge mode (ng+) is very fun

[green breach]

Ratchet and clank is the closest we get to a Pixar level of graphics game

[solar tinsel]

Don't get me wrong, I'll sink my teeth into one of those bloated games every now and then, usually by Ubisoft cause they're the king of that. But I look back on Ratchet & CLank with more fondness than AC Valhalla, even though R&C had like 30% of the content of AC

In my mind, people are starting to appreciate quality over quantity more these days

[rare tendon]

We got*

[tame cobalt]

too true :(

[solar tinsel]

Like: I had fun with AC Valhalla, but it's nothing I'm going to rave about and recommend like I would R&C

[green breach]

Yes thank you.

[fossil trench]

Crunch controversies are ridiculous. All the other companies looking sideways doing the same exact thing.

[rare tendon]

Im sure in the next gen we will get eveb closer

[nova idol]

Copium

[green breach]

Wished Valhalla was on steam. Then we would get better sales.

[rare tendon]

I hated ac valhalla lenght

[tame cobalt]

Based

[nova idol]

"Everybody else does it" except they dont

[rare tendon]

hated it, couldnt finish it too repetitive

[arctic grove]

I hope the amongus Easter egg on orbital is removed

[solar tinsel]

Haha, yeah it was too long. But it's a world I'd keep going back to when I needed to kill time between games (I tend to underbuy on games than build a backlog)

[green breach]

I mean I'd get it for a good sale. But the sale isn't good enough for me for uplay. And I refuse to buy it off epic.

[solar tinsel]

So when I finished my games, I'd go back to cleaning up AC Valhalla

[fossil trench]

They do. If there’s a deadline, there’s crunch. Happens in literally every industry ever.

[solar tinsel]

and it was a good time sink

[proven chasm]

so basically im in discord to get reminded how fun battlefield 2042 will be

[fossil trench]

That’s why these stores are a meme

[rare tendon]

Welcome, I did the same

[fossil trench]

Some company gets noticed but everyone else is doing the same exact thing

[cosmic radish]

Why are people selling cheats already

[arctic grove]

I saw someone say they want battlefront 2 for portal I don't think they would ever do that but it would be cool

[green breach]

And I'd probably.more likely to get through my backlog if I had my steam deck

Damn Q2 release

[pseudo harness]

The sentiment changes by the hour, one hour it will be all negativety and the next will be positive

[arctic grove]

I will say fortnite 😉

[green breach]

Lol no

[solar tinsel]

I don't know how I never got sucked into the backlog thing. Most normal people DO have backlogs. I literally don't right now

[proven chasm]

ok im ready for the rollercoaster

[arctic grove]

Lol we know you fortnite

[fossil trench]

Hey let’s talk about women in BFV

[solar tinsel]

I wound up buying (in another similar vein of game) DLC for Immortals Fenyx Rising because I just didn't want to buy another game until 2042 came out

[green breach]

Not gonna lie I wished some of the games I bought because of a sale I didn't.

[solar tinsel]

haha I do feel happy I avoid that problem though

[analog stirrup]

just turn down the voice volume to zero and bfv is fixed

[green breach]

I'm pretty good these days.

[solar tinsel]

There was just a period of time years ago I really needed to budget my spending, and ever since then I just kept being really picky about what I bought, heck even PLAYED (even if free)

I've found time is a precious budget item too

[slender pilot]

does anyone know what time on the 12th the game opens to play? is it the same time as the beta was?

[fossil trench]

BFV and Cyberpunk were the only two preorders I genuinely regretted

[green breach]

Last game I heavily played was free that I got with my 5800x. Far cry 6

[solar tinsel]

I will buy less games, but play the pooey out of them

[steady depot]

Anyone know what time the game will be available to play on Friday?

[green breach]

Just say shit

[solar tinsel]

Oh nice how do you like that? ANother Ubi game 🙂 so similar I bet as far as amount of "stuff"

Nah pooey was more fun to say

[analog stirrup]

remember that fucking red pistol skin pre-order bonus in BFV holy shit

[arctic grove]

Check their Twitter

[tame cobalt]

Insomniac is a super well organised company because their president (Ted Price) is a super well organised guy

[green breach]

It was fun. But there really isn't any replayability after beating the game. Fun for a free game. I wouldn't have bought it.

[fossil trench]

Sony is good but they still do crunch

Go learn about Naughty Dog

[rare tendon]

@steady depot

[green breach]

Again all companies crunch

[fossil trench]

Yeah

[solar tinsel]

Yeah I think ND has been more visible, but they're probably not a WORST case, just an "industry standard" case, which still isn't great, but better than WORST case

[green breach]

Difference is if they are overworked 24/7.

[fossil trench]

No one is overworked for 24+ hours straight

js

[nova idol]

Thats not true

Fortnite

[green breach]

Over worked 24/7 would be 100 hour weeks.

That is what I mean.

[native grove]

Hi guys! Was the early access release time announced already?

[fossil trench]

Most companies don’t even require crunch they just incentivize it

[brittle forge]

Any type of software development has crunch the difference is how long it persists for at once and how often it's expected, which in AAA development is definitely too common

[nova idol]

Cod devs are overworked for months at a time which isnt much better

[solar tinsel]

The unfortunate thing about crunch is it truly isn't player driven, but shareholder driven, usually

Like they want to see a return on their investment

[odd ledge]

Let me guess developers in Fortnite dont drive Honda car at least when they ending their work pass 🤣

[cosmic radish]

How can they be overworked with copy paste developing

[analog stirrup]

must be hard for cod devs to apply a fresh coat of paint on mw2019

[solar tinsel]

Hey now don't be hating on my Civic 😆

[green breach]

That happened with cyberpunk. Which was a year away from being ready.

[solar tinsel]

(but true, they prob dont)

[fossil trench]

Of course. It’s all about money: Wait 4 days and we’ll see what a extra month of development got us.

[pseudo harness]

Dont forget about the adding features no one asked for part. Ex: blindfiring

[odd ledge]

Lol

[green breach]

Your civic sucks dead.

[solar tinsel]

A great one-liner from one of the car review channels was "Civic, the car with a niche market: the human race"

[brittle forge]

To be fair I don’t think ea sports has problems with crunch for that reason lol. God help you if you were a Bioware dev on anthem or Mass Effect Andromeda though

[odd ledge]

The human race

Haha

[green breach]

Glad they switch to unreal. Bioware working with frostbite was alien to them

[native grove]

Hi guys! Was the early access release time announced already?

[nova idol]

Nov 12

[errant herald]

I have Xbox game pass with EA play and it's not letting me preload

I have Xbox game pass with EA play and it's not letting me preload

[green breach]

He said time.

[analog stirrup]

thursday at midnight

[brittle forge]

Not gonna lie it’s usually from bad leadership. EA financial pressure had little to do with Anthem or Mass Effect Andromeda, the game's directors just couldn’t figure out what game they wanted to make for half of the development cycle

[fossil trench]

I’m surprised BioWare still exists honestly

[nova idol]

Nov 12

[green breach]

That's date

[errant herald]

I have Xbox game pass with EA play and it's not letting me preload

[native grove]

I said time.

[nova idol]

Nov 12

[solar tinsel]

Honestly, same. I think a lot of this hinges on the Dragon Age game. If it flops, they might NOT exist

[green breach]

Same how do they still exist?

[native grove]

That is date

[solar tinsel]

The ME Remaster bought them some budget headroom for DA, but.... idk

[errant herald]

Plz tell me what's happening

I have Xbox game pass with EA play and it's not letting me preload

[pseudo harness]

What is the command that pings the bot for the release time? I forget it.

[brittle forge]

As many Ls as they have taken recently their IPs are extremely valuable

[fossil trench]

Working on the next ME game and Dragon Age

[solar tinsel]

yeah

[errant herald]

I have Xbox game pass with EA play and it's not letting me preload

[solar tinsel]

If the next DA game tanks, I wonder if they will finish the ME game

[green breach]

Heard lot.of complaint with no multiplayer in ME remaster. I never touched the multiplayer was it that good?

[solar tinsel]

I've enjoyed ME multiplayer, fun co-op

[errant herald]

I have Xbox game pass with EA play and it's not letting me preload

[odd ledge]

...

[slender pilot]

unplug your xbox and plug it back in

[brittle forge]

Like mass effect alone is basically a Star Wars and Star Trek type of IP if handled right

[solar tinsel]

I'm also someone who generally liked ME Andromeda more than most though, so, take that with a grain of salt

[fossil trench]

I’ve never even played a ME game 🤷‍♂️

[errant herald]

Lol nobody's answering my question

I have Xbox game pass with EA play and it's not letting me preload

[tame cobalt]

anyway I'm hyped for ripple effect's game, i really hope it'll be something that appeals to me (aka not a BR)

[odd ledge]

One answered u

[green breach]

If they had used unreal. There would have been less issues with mass effect Andromeda

[solar tinsel]

Check out the ME Triology / Remaster, it's a great franchise

[flat charm]

To all in the channel, just hope for the best on game release. Haters will be haters. Just the way it is.

[solar tinsel]

maybe you can't preload if you didn't buy the game

[brittle forge]

Andromeda's combat was fun but it was poorly written

[errant herald]

Oh shit my bad 😅

[green breach]

Also they must have been going damn fast to get to the galaxy in just 500 years.

[fossil trench]

The fucking eyes… the eyes…

[brittle forge]

You can’t pre-load unless you have pre-ordered the game ea play alone doesn’t cut it

[brittle forge]

My face is tired

[errant herald]

Will it be available with EA play?

[solar tinsel]

ha I'm guessing they had a way 😆

[errant herald]

Will it be available with EA play?

[solar tinsel]

You get a 10hr trial I think

with EA Play

but that might not entitle you to preload

[brittle forge]

You get 10 hours to try it if you have the basic subscription you get to play it however much you want with ea play pro

[solar tinsel]

And I had hoped for Anthem to succeed too. The traversal in that game was unmatched

[green breach]

Anyways just glad I can play with my coworker now due to cross play.

[odd ledge]

Anthem lmao

[solar tinsel]

they just didn't have a way to provide meaningful content long enough

[flat charm]

$14.99 per month with pro I assume

[solar tinsel]

Like: no activities, terrible loot grind

[tiny imp]

yes

[twilit basin]

Do we know if hazard zone will be cross play???

[violet agate]

good I would like to know for sure if the xbox one will be able to play with the ps4?

[solar tinsel]

Should be! Everything should be!

[green breach]

@twilit basin pretty sure it will be. Cross play isn't exclusive to just AOW

[solar tinsel]

Yeah PS4/X1 will share servers

[brittle forge]

The whole game is cross play mate

[twilit basin]

Just wondering bc the map sizes are apparently different between next gen and old gen. so how does that even work

[tiny imp]

Battlefield 1942

Bad company 2

[pseudo harness]

I might flip crossplay off if the pc community wants to get fiesty with their cheats

[solar tinsel]

Apparently it;s

POOL 1: PS5/XSX/PC
POOL 2: PS4/X1

Portal may allow a mix of all 5 if the servers are 64 players or less on those maps, but I'm not 100% sure

[green breach]

@twilit basin old gen cross play with each other. Current gen cross play with each other and PC

[violet agate]

so if I have an xbox I can play without problem with my playstation friends

[solar tinsel]

On PS4, yes. And perhaps maybe on PS5 specifically for select Portal servers

[twilit basin]

Oh dear . So I can’t play with my ps4 friends :\

[brittle forge]

Old gen is separate from next gen and pc but everyone can play with each other in those groups

[green breach]

Switch can't run the game at all. So it gets nothing.

[fossil trench]

Honestly so happy I’m not playing with PC players

Fuck that

[brittle forge]

Are you on PS5?

[tiny imp]

The game Will be a little fucked up. I hope they host up enough with servers. Skip a long waiting queue

[tired pelican]

hello when can origin access premium play the game 🙃

[green breach]

If on PS5 you can install the old gen version

[twilit basin]

I’m on PC, my friend on ps5 but other 2 buds on ps4

[violet agate]

only ps4 and xbox one have crossplay no?

[pseudo harness]

Download the last gen version of the game and you can. Nvm u are on pc

[green breach]

Tell those two to get a ps5

[brittle forge]

As far as we know yeah. They haven’t confirmed if everyone can play together if they play on the smaller modes but I have a feeling that's a no

[solar tinsel]

Well all platforms have cross play, but PS4/X1 can't play on the 128 player configs

so it would be two seperate ecosystems

[mossy solar]

gross

[solar tinsel]

I forgot: can PS5/XSX players play crossplay together, but opt out for PC?

[green breach]

Or X series or build a gaming rig.

[solar tinsel]

Or is it "all or nothing"

[green breach]

Pretty sure you can't choose

[mossy solar]

yes

[solar tinsel]

gotcha

[brittle forge]

I think it’s all or nothing yeah

[pseudo harness]

I think it is pc and xbox/ps. Or just your platform

[solar tinsel]

too bad, but is what it is

[tiny imp]

I will disabled crossplaying

[fossil trench]

If you actually can’t, why tf not?

[pseudo harness]

I wish i could flip only pc off. That would be great

[brittle forge]

I don’t know why cross play doesn’t work by input type instead of platform only a couple of games do that but it’s honestly the better system

[solar tinsel]

It's possible they don't want 3 ecosystems

[mossy solar]

if your worried about hackers, i dont think there will be that many... like cod for example

[violet agate]

is that I want to be sure because I am from xbox but I want to play with the play people and I do not want to make a stupid thing to buy it and that it does not have crossplay

[fossil trench]

Also, servers aren’t permanent? Wtf?

[solar tinsel]

nah more about M&K advantage, but then again, I'll prob be fine

[tame cobalt]

Probably gonna be 3 more years before we see ripple effect's game tho

[mossy solar]

ah kk

[fossil trench]

I would pay to have a permanent server

[green breach]

Ya I'm upset no rent a server

[solar tinsel]

Not on Portal, but if others have your experience code, they can launch the server themselves at any time

[green breach]

Although I wonder if PC can get third party ones.

[tiny imp]

Portal you can create your own server. Your rules

[fossil trench]

Wtf is the point of free servers if it isn’t permanent

[mossy solar]

how to buy your own portal????

[cosmic radish]

Why don't they come up with something new in stead of boring battle pass and cod cosmetics

[solar tinsel]

Because anyone can launch the server

And endless servers for free is a bit unrealistic

[green breach]

Portal is unique and new

[brittle forge]

Yeah but he saying you can’t rent a server that runs 24 seven like you could in previous Battlefield

[fossil trench]

Yeah and the server goes offline when you do. Brilliant

[solar tinsel]

If nobody else is in it

[iron blade]

Man why are russian atyln helmets so expensive, they are like 250 bucks

[tame cobalt]

Because... That's the industry's best monitization model right now?

[green breach]

Think it only goes offline when the last person leaves

[solar tinsel]

Correct

Servers remain on if it is populated

[fossil trench]

That’s good at least

[brittle forge]

Even after that I think there’s a grace period before the server actually shuts off but I don’t know how long it is

[solar tinsel]

and if it goes down due to 0 players, anyone can "restart it" from Portal with the experience code

[brittle forge]

I think they said it’ll stay on even if empty for a couple of hours

[green breach]

How about they just give us rent a server

[mossy solar]

i wish i had some people to play with at launch, my entire group of 4 went toxic on me, so i blocked em all

[fossil trench]

This ^

[solar tinsel]

I wouldn't be surprised if that eventually comes, but if you think about it, the advantage of that is very specific

[green breach]

I mean we pay for it. Not gonna cost them shit

[fossil trench]

I would legitimately pay for it

[brittle forge]

I mean they’re still going to provide you with the hardware that does cost money

[arctic grove]

💩

[solar tinsel]

It gives people the ability to say "welcome to the CLAN SO AND SO SERVER" or whatever. Experiences can be fully launched as is

[green breach]

Still I wonder if PC will get third party ones

[tiny imp]

[low solar]

Wouldn’t rent a server be like a Minecraft realm? Seems simple enough

[iron blade]

Perhaps there could be an option to drop some cash to keep a server going even after it is not populated. Combine the current system with the old rent a server one

[solar tinsel]

It might come one day

[mossy solar]

over time probably

[fossil trench]

There’s no community if the servers are empty with bots. Wtf is the point

[green breach]

Welcome to dark helmet server. No stingers and no killing the admin.

[brittle forge]

Clans are definitely going to have their own Portal rules that’s for sure

[tiny imp]

[solar tinsel]

Well that's my thought, what's the point of having tons of 0 player servers

[pliant knot]

wait they aren’t doing that?

[errant herald]

Will battlefield be added to ea play on launch day?

[winter jacinth]

Ye

[brittle forge]

Btw since PS5s were discussed earlier Walmart just had a restock if anyone cares

[low solar]

Honestly private servers were just Safe Spaces for people who wanted to play but couldn’t handle losing

[solar tinsel]

It's not Rent a Server. it's, you generate a Portal experience (or choose to launch one) and then the server is made on the spot

[broken plank]

4 more days people Whoop whoooooop

[tame cobalt]

Breakthrough probably gonna be dead af in my region. At least aaronfrogger's leak confirmed you can play Breakthrough with bots...

[errant herald]

Noice. Cause I heard that games don't get added for a while

[fossil trench]

Rented servers form communities. If servers are free, literally anyone can make one and no communities are formed

[pseudo harness]

No servers are free but shut off when empty. Fair trade if you ask me

[pliant knot]

ohhh cool, but for AOW there won’t anything like that? Not even server bowser?

[tiny imp]

you got only 10 h trial with ea play

[green breach]

Let's all count how many no stinger servers there will be.

[tame cobalt]

The fact that bots don't have Specialist abilities is kinda weird tbh

[pliant knot]

yea

[fossil trench]

Wtf

[errant herald]

Lol I'll be at school and then have something on that afternoon 😔

[solar tinsel]

There may be a browser, but nothing custom

[mossy solar]

ye,maybe thats bound to change though

[cosmic radish]

EA play pro = unlimited early access

[broken plank]

sad days

[solar tinsel]

Like you join official EA servers for AoW I believe

[green breach]

Be kind of hard to program AI wise for bots to use specialist abilities

[solar tinsel]

and then any custom configs are in Portal

[shell dock]

At what time does it launch on the 12th

[brittle forge]

The guy who got in early showed the AI settings so I wonder how good the advanced AI is because that was an option

[errant herald]

Ea play pro is with Xbox game pass right? Like you already have it with normal EA play?

[green breach]

Think it was 10.am

[pliant knot]

AI was petty funny in beta, imagine giving them specialists gadgets

[mossy solar]

midnight pacific time

[tiny imp]

[fossil trench]

AI is already beaudead lmao

[pseudo harness]

I would be surprised if the dont eventually implement 3rd party server rentals

[tame cobalt]

yeah hard AI is probably the best option to not be bored

[green breach]

Still smarter than polititions

[winter jacinth]

Does the lobby get filled up when there aren‘t enough people on the server?

[green breach]

Yes

[shell dock]

Okay

[solar tinsel]

The thing is, with sever rentals, all you're gaining is the ability for servers to persist with 0 players and continue to advertise a "branded" server

[green breach]

That is like the latest I seen. Earliest would be midnight

[fossil trench]

Yeah and that’s what we want

[green breach]

Ya so?

[solar tinsel]

In all fairness, Clans could make their own "Mode" for example, and just ensure people keep launching it

and it's kind of the same

[iron blade]

Hey guys im thinking about getting a surplus RU gas mask for airsoft, should i get a GP-5 or PMK model?

[twilit basin]

Really wish we got a BR game. Doesn’t have to be at launch but eventually. Hazard zone doesn’t look to impressive honestly

[green breach]

What I do hate though is faking player count. It says high player count but is dead

[shy talon]

I'm really excited to see what's doable with portal

[mossy solar]

pmk would be kewl

[prisma hinge]

looking at you BF4

[fossil trench]

Hazard zone looks very bare bones imho

[twilit basin]

I’m tired of playing WZ but they have a strangle hold on the BR scene rn

[solar tinsel]

Some pretty cool stuff, if people dive in!

[shell dock]

I hope they give us more weapons, 22 weapons is just not enough

[iron blade]

Its gonna be combined with an atyln helmet

[green breach]

Well they have Apex legends. So.may never happen.

[shy talon]

I'm hoping it can reach Arma 3 Zeus levels of customizability

Eden I mean

[solar tinsel]

Not familiar with that, but the Rules Editor for TDM/FFA is pretty robust

[mossy solar]

no way? do you use airsoft that leaves a little dust on hit? or do you play with trusted people.
everyone i played with cheats, so i used dusted bb's to call em out

[prisma hinge]

what a strange time to be living in where you see someone suggesting a BR mode

[brittle forge]

They'll add more in seasons but yeah this launch amount is pretty disappointing

[twilit basin]

The small player count and lack of vehicles is a huge turn off

[solar tinsel]

Hell even the basic Builder settings for COnquest, Rush, are pretty deep

[shell dock]

Imma try and create something similar to apex in portal

[tiny imp]

good luck

[iron blade]

I play with trusted people, the lads at my range usually all call their hits

[green breach]

Otherwise I can see them shutting down support for hazard zone and bringing back over firestorm with a new map.

[mossy solar]

word.

[solar tinsel]

You likely wouldn't be able to make multiple small teams, and likely wouldn't be able to "close a zone" or anything like that

[green breach]

This time though firestorm will be free.

[twilit basin]

They could have taken all the good things from warzone and perfected it. Dice had almost 2 years of watching activision ruin warzone to learn from their mistakes lol

[fossil trench]

Isn’t a whole studio dedicated to it? Wtf did they do in all that time. Just seems basic and uninteresting

[hot oak]

Fuuuuuck I wish I was a creator/media person and got to play today 😦

[green breach]

I thought criterion did hazard zone

[brittle forge]

I mean do we know if vehicles are lacking in that mode

[iron blade]

But if they dont call their hits on purpose you have full permission to light em up

[mossy solar]

LOL

[green breach]

Ex dice employees are making a new game
Looked interesting till I hear the person who said don't like don't buy it is making it

[brittle forge]

"Keep shooting until it stops moving!"

[solar tinsel]

I'm not sure about that. A lot of Hazard Zone's assets are pulled from AoW. Maybe Criterion did vehicles or something?

[marble orchid]

remember, you save a dollar if you buy ea play for the 10 hour trial and then get the standard edition

[twilit basin]

Yea the lack of info they’ve released about it isn’t giving anyone confidence tbh. Portal looks great but I wanted a new BR to play with friends

[fossil trench]

Yeah they were dedicated to it

Whole studio

[solar tinsel]

What did they make for it, then? Just the mode logic?

[green breach]

I'm sure BR mode is their plan b if hazard zone doesn't work out.

[fossil trench]

Your guess is as good as mine mate

[solar tinsel]

Compared to Portal, HZ doesn't have a whole lot of unique assets to it, from what I can tell

[shy talon]

They never said hazard zone was a br did they?

[pseudo harness]

Im gonna be playing way more than 10hrs during early access week. 10hrs is rookie numbers. Had 5x that in the 4 day beta

[raw kraken]

tom hen said content creators are getting bf2042 early today is that true

[brittle forge]

I know Ripple Effect is largely behind Portal

[solar tinsel]

It's not a BR. It's PvEvP survival

[twilit basin]

Halo free multiplayer is gonna be interesting also. They were very smart making that f2p.

[shy talon]

Like tarkov and hunt

[brittle forge]

I don't how the other studios split the work

[shy talon]

Or the Cycle

[solar tinsel]

yeah: Tarkov, Dark Zone (Division), The Cycle

[marble orchid]

more like hunt than tarkov

[green breach]

Bet there would be 0 complaints if 2042 was free

[fossil trench]

Like Hazard Zone sounds like a Portal game honestly

[solar tinsel]

in a way, kind of

[brittle forge]

I mean no shit

[marble orchid]

you could say that about a battle royale

[solar tinsel]

I think people wanting BR will be able to make some fun survival-focused modes in Portal

[low solar]

You forget how entitled most people are now days

[solar tinsel]

like it wouldn't be BR, It'd still be FFA or whatever

[brittle forge]

But it isn’t and it doesn’t need to be either necessarily

[solar tinsel]

but I think you can simulate a lot of the "be careful, stay alive, limited loot" type of experience

[green breach]

Anyways what I can see happening is hazard zone flops. Gets remove. They make BR mode. Separate to the game. But is linked into it and is free.

[solar tinsel]

it's possible!

[sleek glen]

Looking for highly talented players for Hazard Zone. We are a small group of FPS (BR) players, mostly PUBG, top 1% stats. PM ME with your stats from whatever game you play and let's chat. Looking for people who will be able to play on a consistent schedule, evenings 8pm-12am

[twilit basin]

Unfortunately activision found gold with warzone and it’s gonna be tough for any game to kill it off

[mossy solar]

yeah, probably

[nova idol]

Theyve straight up said theres no plan for a f2p mode

[fossil trench]

No they won’t make BR. EA has Apex

[waxen turret]

Any change for a normal classic scoreboard in bf2042?

[nova idol]

BF mobile is their f2p aspect

[marble orchid]

technically, there is a free to play mode already, portal

[brittle forge]

I don’t think hazard zone is going to flop per se but I definitely see the other 2 modes being way more popular

[nova idol]

No

[solar tinsel]

That's not F2P though

[low solar]

Unpopular Opinion:
All the people looking for old school BF will stick to portal and the multiplayer will be for CoD players to enjoy

[marble orchid]

It is

[brittle forge]

Portal isn't free

[nova idol]

Portal is not f2p

[solar tinsel]

you still need the game to play in it

[green breach]

Battle royal Battlefield would play differently to apex. They can live together

[solar tinsel]

it's free to build modes with the Builder, but that's it

[marble orchid]

You don't need to own the game to create stuff in portal

[fossil trench]

Making a BR would be a waste of resources for EA because they already have a BR

[echo yew]

Battlefield BR could slap

[solar tinsel]

ha correct, CREATING

[marble orchid]

That's the free aspect

[brittle forge]

You can create rule sets with the web editor true but in order to actually play them you need the game

[solar tinsel]

I see what you did there

[nova idol]

Okay but to play it you need the game

[green breach]

If free

[twilit basin]

Yup, EA could’ve had a strangle hold on the BR market and fumbled it

[solar tinsel]

yes creating Portal modes is a F2P game 😆

[echo yew]

Now add the AUG to 2042

[shy talon]

I don't think EA wants BF to make a br, that would just compete with apex

[green breach]

Now add the zip 22 to 2042

[fossil trench]

Is Hazard Zone F2P?

[shy talon]

No

[solar tinsel]

Negative

[fossil trench]

Wtf why even make it

[twilit basin]

They need to be competing with warzone lol . Apex can’t do that rn

[solar tinsel]

BF2042 has no F2P components, as of now

[echo yew]

HZ not being F2P is a BIG missed chance

[green breach]

Apex doesn't need to live forever.

[solar tinsel]

More content offering for the game itself, which, is up to $70

[brittle forge]

Since when has EA cared about battlefield fucking over a respawn game Cries in Titanfall 2

[mossy solar]

i payed $130 for mine (tax)

[twilit basin]

MW2 comes out next cod cycle. WZ isn’t going anywhere

[marble orchid]

I mean, when it makes them millions, they care

[twilit basin]

We need another mil sim BR

[green breach]

WZ has a monopoly

[shy talon]

Since when the respawn game is massively profitable

[twilit basin]

Pretty much, they strike gold

[brittle forge]

MW2...2!

[solar tinsel]

I'm actually interested in making a Conquest Mode that has a lot of the tension of BR. Heck, I don't even think it's need to be modified in the logic editor.

Something where deaths are incredibly punishing, long respawn timers, and requires careful pushes to objectives

"Conquest Tactical" perhaps

[brittle forge]

I’m actually kind of excited for the new modern warfare next year I’m not gonna lie given how good MW19 was

[shy talon]

Camping conquest

[green breach]

Apex would play differently compared to BR battlefield

[pseudo harness]

Hazard zone should be paid because Warzone is filled with hackers and cheaters because they just remake FREE accounts. Make them buy the game every time they get banned. That will teach em

[solar tinsel]

Ha I suppose that would be the case, but then if you camp and don't cap, you lose!@

[tropic granite]

should i burn my savings and buy a ps5

[mossy solar]

you need to game to play HZ, right?

[green breach]

This is why you have to pay to play on ranked servers on CSGO

[twilit basin]

WZ’s core gameplay mechanics are amazing, one of the best in FPS history but the way the game has been handled has been a bit of a joke

[tame cobalt]

Finally, the Hardcore killer!

[pseudo harness]

Yeah

[brittle forge]

I mean your game can be paid and still be filled with hackers if you don’t have a good anti cheat, look at battlefield five

[marble orchid]

Just make hazard zone it's own aspect and cost 20 dollars

[solar tinsel]

It's a mode I've always hoped would exist, because I prefer that to straight up BR, and I think even with Portal's basic options, it should be possible

[solar tinsel]

THAT I think is what we might see more realistically

[shy talon]

Just replace it with uncle cheat

[solar tinsel]

AoW or HZ being standalone

[mossy solar]

than why you say this?

[green breach]

Meh just port over the firstorm map. Make it bigger. Go from there.

[pseudo harness]

Because people want HZ to be free. Im saying it shouldn’t be free

[tame cobalt]

It sounds interesting tbh. Not something I'd play cuz it's not my thing but would probably be interesting to watch

[brittle forge]

This damn Siri I swear to god lol

[mossy solar]

definitely, i agree

[solar tinsel]

like you can buy AoW access for $40 or buy HZ access for $20, or whole game + Portal for $70

[green breach]

I mean they have EAC. Works great with fortnite

[solar tinsel]

For all I know it might suck but that' the magic of Portal

if it sucks, try something else!

I do feel a lot of folks won't like the long respawns though

(which is funny cause it'd be shorter than a requeue in BR though)

[green breach]

It's time for WZ to have some competition

[shy talon]

Tarkov had a big cheating problem last I played, but don't know how it is now. And that game costs up to $140

[tame cobalt]

now this actually makes sense

[brittle forge]

Honestly whether the mode's free or not doesn’t matter that much. Remember, fire storm died just as much because it wasn’t supported at all as much as it was a paid mode.

[green breach]

$140 WTF!

[mossy solar]

WZ is poop , id rather not compete with straight garbage, thats makes us look bad

[marble orchid]

firestorm released buggy on an already dead game

[shy talon]

I'm sure that's why it's so massively popular

[green breach]

But but Apex legends. How about it's time to make Titan fall 3?

[mossy solar]

zombies

[timid cosmos]

firestorm died cos it was so friggen hard to even get in a match

the ui sucked

[echo yew]

warzone is atrociously bad as has not been playable since december 2020

[past pewter]

When do the pre orders go out

[green breach]

It died cause firestorm wasn't free

[solar tinsel]

Hopefully they are planning on developing for HZ specifically too. We know AoW and Portal will be, but if HZ gets new modes and variations, that'd be nice

[mossy solar]

i quit after season 3 when coldwar

[echo yew]

Cold War integration/Raven Software takeover was so bad lol

[twilit basin]

Tarkov has a steep learning curve. It’s what’s holding the game back

[shy talon]

Anyways, has 2042 removed specialists yet or is that a no go?

[solar tinsel]

Like new season:

• New AoW map
• New Portal map and some legacy game content
• New HZ variant or modifier
• New Specialist across all modes
• New Battle Pass across all modes

Could be a nice offering each season

[timid cosmos]

free sucks means they have to find other ways to milk you

[mossy solar]

"lets remove some of the fans favorite features like gun mounting!"

[green breach]

Cosmetics?

[brittle forge]

It died cause they tossed it out and didn't support it at all. It didn't help, but Plenty of free battle royale games have died price is not the be-all end-all

[tame cobalt]

Titanfall 3 and the next bf will be the same thing... Large scale future warfare with mechs, grapple hooks, wingsuits, and wallrunning

[shy talon]

Last I checked its still very successful

[echo yew]

IW wasn't good at handling WZ either but at least the base game was okay

[solar tinsel]

Specialists are still in the game haha, if you don't want o use them you need to join a portal server running OTHER game factions

[echo yew]

Tarkov is too expensive for an early access title

[timid cosmos]

portal is the game

aow is training mode

[green breach]

Ya ok

[echo yew]

Also there comes a point where you have too much mechanics

[shy talon]

$40 isn't that expensive

[echo yew]

tarkov can't be mainstream

[tame cobalt]

And both will flop because people don't like good games

[shy talon]

It is mainstream though

[echo yew]

for an early access title it is lol

[solar tinsel]

I'm actually pretty excited for AoW, I'm excited to play with the new maps and gadgets. it will still be the most popular mode for the bulk of players who just want to hop in

[arctic grove]

It's mainstream

[echo yew]

early access games shouldn't be over 25-30 dollars

[green breach]

It will be full price once it gets out of EA

[tame cobalt]

I'm excited AF for aow man

[shy talon]

Who are you to decide that?

[arctic grove]

As much as I like and want to play bf2042 I really don't like the idea of specialists merged with class equipment + personal gadgets because I feel that they're gonna be adding new "specialists" in the game per "season" which I'm half against because it just feels too much like cod, a game which I'm not looking to play, and that specialists merging with classes just kills it for me since classes were anonymous characters who's outfits actually matched the factions they were on, for example the russians or the us, also gives a single specialist too much gear

[tidal hare]

what is AoW

[echo yew]

im zesk

[shy talon]

Age of War

[arctic grove]

ALL OUT WARFARE

[solar tinsel]

All out Warfare, which is one of the main "modes"

[tidal hare]

oh ok

[green breach]

They have to add in metro as the first map added in portal

[fossil trench]

Wtf is Age of War

[solar tinsel]

essentially, Conquest and Breakthrough

on the 2042 maps, etc.

[echo yew]

specialists aren't the big problem you're making them out to be lol

teamplay is a community thing kkek

[solar tinsel]

BOO 😆

[green breach]

Didn't have a problem

[tame cobalt]

All out warfare... Consists of conquest and Breakthrough with only the new maps, guns, gadgets, vehicles, etc

[arctic grove]

Nah man I just hate how dumb everything looks and functions

[green breach]

Punching is dumb though.

[mossy solar]

i went 40-2 on that map back on 360

[solar tinsel]

If we're gonna add Metro, add the OG Metro: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/battlefield/images/3/3b/BF2SF_Iron_Gator.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/550?cb=20110719135858

[green breach]

Dozer team on metro let's go.

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/bernie-sanders-bernie-asking-financial-support-gif-17723372

[timid cosmos]

it will be future metro, and it will have a tornado inside

[arctic grove]

imagine 50 of the same US soldier on the Russian team while there's another 50 of the same Russian on the us

[shy talon]

Can they not afford medics in the future that won't collapse due to back problems?

[mossy solar]

i will throw mine tornado grenade at the tanks

[arctic grove]

and no I'm not talking about bf4 classes I'm talking about specialists

[tame cobalt]

Essential Bf3 maps to add:

Metro
Damavand peak
Grand bazaar

Anything missing?

[shy talon]

Golmud

[granite forge]

sooo will the new battlefield just not have a campaign or will they add one later on

[arctic grove]

Golmud Railway?

[solar tinsel]

Siene Crossing

[shy talon]

Wait no

[fossil trench]

What’s that snow map in BFBC2

[shy talon]

What's the one with the big pipe in bf3?

[brittle forge]

Specialists aren't necessarily bad but they're not better than classes really, so I don't know why they were changed. Split milk as far as this game is concerned tho

[timid cosmos]

arica harbor?

[solar tinsel]

Firesomething?

[timid cosmos]

actually like 3 snow maps

[arctic grove]

Yknow idc if bf4 related stuff won't be in bf2042 but I want siege of Shanghai to be readded

[shy talon]

Caspian border

[solar tinsel]

OH

yeah Capsian

[granite forge]

?

[solar tinsel]

that IS in Portal

[shy talon]

Oh

[brittle forge]

Kharg Island

[shy talon]

Lessgo

[astral marsh]

Sure specialist are annoying but at this point I’m just happy and excited for a modern battlefield again. No going to sweat the small stuff lol

[solar tinsel]

I enjoyed me Kharg Island

All I'm saying

KARKAND + DALIAN (or Kubra)

[shy talon]

Anyways BC2:Vietnam when?

[tame cobalt]

Specialists really aren't an issue

[brittle forge]

Technically a DLC but Strike at Karkand is a MUST

[nova idol]

BF1 maps to add: amiens, verdun heights, rupture, paschendaele

[shy talon]

Or just bf:Vietnam for that matter

[slow drum]

they aren’t, idk why people are complaining about them

[green breach]

They also need to add in strike at karkand

[timid cosmos]

more specalists suck the better it is for portal

[solar tinsel]

Heck no, add that in as a BF2 map!

[shy talon]

They are imo

[solar tinsel]

How dare you call Karkand a DLC

SHAME

[brittle forge]

They’re an irritant but nothing is going to get rid of them at this point so…

[tame cobalt]

That's coming in the bf2 update

[halcyon sable]

you already get both

[slow drum]

why

[timid cosmos]

bout player base kushaja

[tame cobalt]

Which isn't coming till the next game cuz they're only focusing on the 3 portal games for 2042

[green breach]

Maby instead of hazard zone criterion could have helped out with both AOW and Portal

[solar tinsel]

wait, that's not a thing, is it?

[tame cobalt]

Just the best case scenario

[solar tinsel]

you pullin my leg

[green breach]

Or criterion could have just made more weapons

[solar tinsel]

BF2 would care to disagree!

[mossy solar]

1st thing when i youtube'd bf2042... is "MRBEAST HERE" talking about lack of weapons and being a whining B$$$$$$

[arctic grove]

A roadmap would be nice

[nova idol]

I doubt theyll just stick to those 3 games

[brittle forge]

Based on the way portal is set up I am surprised it isn’t it’s own separate thing like war zone that persists across multiple titles. I suppose it could still be that

[green breach]

Roadmap is a must

[solar tinsel]

I'd expect new vertical slices of different games

[nova idol]

Theyve made it clear what gets added will be based on what people really want

[green breach]

Should be required by law for live service games.

[solar tinsel]

Allegedly, we're supposed to get info on the first season prior to launch

[pseudo harness]

Anyone else think that Hardline was criminally underrated?

[solar tinsel]

but we're running out of time for that

[green breach]

Was such a cop out that it wasn't supported more.

[robust ember]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[marble orchid]

technically, launch is on the 19th

[tame cobalt]

So locker and golmud, got it

[marble orchid]

so they still have a week left

[nova idol]

Could be made into a standalone client after 2042 support ends but I wouldnt really count on that

[solar tinsel]

fair point

Per website: "We’ll have more to share on the first Season of Battlefield 2042 before launch."

[brittle forge]

I really hope dice has learned to communicate well after the nonsense live service that was Battlefield V but I’m not optimistic given how little we really know about 2042 if you don’t pay attention to leaks

[green breach]

Portal will get transfered to the next BF game.

[solar tinsel]

I think so too

and 2042 will be a slice that gets added when that happens

[green breach]

Kind of dumb to do it just for one game

[nova idol]

I feel like portal is gonna stay with 2042 simply because to have it persist across titles would mean to remaster everything every game on top of adding more stuff

Not viable

[fossil trench]

Ok

[green breach]

If it does then bye bye Battlefield as a franchise.

[astral marsh]

Hopefully launch will be stable lol

[arctic grove]

bro just stfu

[unkempt beacon]

Its okay to have a shitty false opinion

[brittle forge]

As many issues as I have I kind of doubt it the reveal trailer for this game knocked it out of the park and what they have released has been mostly well received other than the second specialist trailer

[green breach]

I enjoyed the beta. So that's enough for me

[solar tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-anyway-gif-19022587

[sweet cradle]

is early access on the 11th or the 12th?

[tame cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/who-asked-gif-19808527

[green breach]

12th

[brittle forge]

12th

[fossil trench]

12th

[sweet cradle]

ok ty

guess im booking friday off

[stable bolt]

what game?

[green breach]

I'm out of vacation days. 😭

[stable bolt]

game isnt even out yet so how can you know?

[green breach]

Go play call of dooty then

[stable bolt]

k so why are you here then?

[green breach]

Lol sales are good

[sweet cradle]

like vanguard?

[reef prawn]

Why are you here just to troll lol

[arctic grove]

yeah masybe but no one asked you

[tidal raptor]

@green breach well that just seems like poor time management should have sucked it up on those days that you were actually sick knowing that Battlefield 2042 is coming out lol jk

[stable bolt]

did you just join this server to trash talk and do nothing else? kinda pathetic dude

[solar tinsel]

"The game will suck" isn't really criticism, more of a prediction

[sweet cradle]

nah surely cant be that bad

[solar tinsel]

No devs are here my dude doh

[next isle]

Wrong place

[unkempt beacon]

Never missed a day in 9 years at my job. I could take a few months off with pay

[stable bolt]

and you think that is going to work?

[arctic grove]

devs dgaf about ur shite opions mate

[green breach]

Battlefield is like the third most preordered game on steam. That Amazon new world game is first. And sigh fifa is second

[solar tinsel]

ha wow I'll eat my shoe

[grand summit]

Just realized this game coming out in 4 days lol

[next isle]

Cool, now stop spamming

[stable bolt]

okay, im still gonna buy it tho

[grand summit]

stinky

[stable bolt]

you cant stop me from buying it

[reef prawn]

Boot this dude lol

He isn’t even saying facts just this sucks

[solar tinsel]

4 days until I'll be thrilled to be playing 2042!

[stable bolt]

4 minutes till we see this dude banned

[sweet cradle]

nah till we play the best game of the decade

[grand summit]

im waiting for portal gameplay before buying

[shy talon]

I wouldnt mind specialists as much if their Weapons and Equipment were limited

[brittle forge]

As someone who usually defends the “whining” people accuse this chat of being, “this game sucks and will flop hard” is not criticism at all

[unkempt beacon]

Spamming doesnt just mean multiple messages spam is also low quality messages

[arctic grove]

this guys dad :

[green breach]

Here is this boot admin. You gonna need it 🥾

[reef prawn]

Maybe I just wanna play bad company maps on a new engine

[stable bolt]

same I cant wait to play, I LOVED the beta and cant wait for the full game

[sweet cradle]

more gets added

[stable bolt]

so this game will flop because it only has 2 lmg?

again kinda pathetic dude

[arctic grove]

[grand summit]

Orbital was such a dog water map

[solar tinsel]

IGN: 3/10 "ONLY 2 LMGs, SAYS EUMS"

[sweet cradle]

bf4 only had 30 to start off with and now it has over 110

[shy talon]

Scout Heli was better than the attack heli at killing ground in the beta ngl

[arctic grove]

why not stop speaking

[tame cobalt]

Don't mock @arctic grove , instead feel sorry for them that they have to spend their time shitting on other people's fun. Their life must not be very good if it lead to this

[lament kiln]

What day and time is the gold edition dropping in EST?

[arctic grove]

Battlefield “fans” on their way to bitch about shit that doesn’t matter in the #battlefield-2042 chat room:

[timid merlin]

what kind of pathetic dumb fuck are you?

[reef prawn]

This guy is a fed

[arctic grove]

[stable bolt]

they also copied team fortress 2, tf2 had guns and bf 2042 has guns cancel 2042 now

[brittle forge]

It’s only the head of the server mate shit talk away lmao

[solar tinsel]

everybody copied Pong

[green breach]

Did I like the beta? No I cancel preorder, yes I keep preorder. Which one you think it was with the beta?

[grand summit]

IGN halo infinite gameplay and IGNs cyberpunk 9.5/10 rating is all you need to know about them lol

[frozen root]

[green breach]

Every body copied tennis for two

[shy talon]

why would you preorder anything?

[tame cobalt]

Upgrade to gold edition

[stable bolt]

so we can play friday

[green breach]

I do have gold

[stable bolt]

[brittle forge]

Halo Infinite is pretty good though

[shy talon]

[tame cobalt]

Based

[reef prawn]

Because I like to not learn from past mistakes.. like mass effect andromeda

[shy talon]

They literally have unlimited supply, and they still get ya

[green breach]

Well Saturday afternoon for me due to long shift on Friday.

[grand summit]

@brittle forge ya I'm hyped for infinite, but IGN had like a 4 yr old playing with their feet for their gameplay reveal

[tame cobalt]

See you on the battlefield

[reef prawn]

Lol!

[arctic grove]

because i like to feel better than people

jk

[nova idol]

Halo Infinite is so good

[green breach]

Certainly learned their lesson with Andromeda. Which is why they swited to unreal. Bioware doesn't know how to use frostbite.

[reef prawn]

I doubt it tbh

[brittle forge]

Ah that’s what you meant lol

[nova idol]

Good call on xbox's part making the mp free to play

[reef prawn]

I’m convinced no one does

[shy talon]

Not to mention bioware isnt bioware anymore

[reef prawn]

Bring back the bad company 2 engine

Lol!!

[green breach]

You just want to flatten the whole map.

[reef prawn]

Yes

Yes I do lol

[green breach]

It was fun getting kills that way but it wasn't all that cool.

[brittle forge]

If you pre-order a Bioware game at this point I don’t know what to tell you. It’s totally fine to hope their games are good again but they haven’t had a W since 2014 lmao

[mossy solar]

Is it too early to lfg for 2042? 😂
#lfg-pc

[wraith drift]

Can someone help me

[reef prawn]

Destruction in BC2 was best change my mind lol

[wraith drift]

Technical issue on bf4

I can’t hear cutscene or radio audio on pc

[shy talon]

If you pre order any game*

[green breach]

No I agree

[tame cobalt]

Don't worry you can still flatten the bfbc2 maps in portal... probably

[reef prawn]

I hope so but I’m not holding my breathe

[brittle forge]

EA forums are more for that type of thing my man

[reef prawn]

If you can I’ll buy 2 copies

[grand summit]

Hopefully the destruction maps are way nicer in portal than AOW cause that was dissapointing asf

[green breach]

Battlfield bad company had the best rush maps.

Both 1 and 2

[solar tinsel]

I would assume so. A lot of the more recent BF games lacked as much destruction not because they couldn't, but rather, the devs made a conscious choice to focus on landmark structures that retained their integrity

BC games had larger emphasis on copy and paste buildings that could be all leveled

[stiff pollen]

Battlefield good company 3

[reef prawn]

Bad company 2 was peak battlefield

[brittle forge]

Of course but especially Bioware they haven’t made a good game in seven years

[grizzled island]

battlefield friends are getting reuploaded btw

[grand summit]

Best company 4

[green breach]

Naw I'd say bf3 was

[stable bolt]

bf4 was peak

[solar tinsel]

I just think that BC and Mainline games have different destruction and map design philosophies

[reef prawn]

I do remember that one the most besides bc2

[stable bolt]

and when battlefield 7 comes out the community will say 2042 was peak

[reef prawn]

Ya this is most likely the mindset with devs

[solar tinsel]

It's true haha

[mossy solar]

Hey if you have OG Xbox one.. is that crossplay? I heard you need PS5 or series x to play with PC. What does this mean for AoW?

[shy talon]

Dice hasnt made a good battlefield in 8, so my point still stands

[grand summit]

imagine a modern bf game with bf1 atmosphere tho 💦💦💦

[tame cobalt]

Bfbc2 destruction wouldn't work with modern bfs. Destroying cover would ruin the maps

[stable bolt]

battlefield 1 and 5 were great

[rare tendon]

Sí senor

[arctic grove]

the power of nostalgia

[brittle forge]

Nah they’ll probably still say it was 4. Pretend all you want but the love for that game is pretty consistent

[shy talon]

"5"

[radiant prism]

Please not BF1's gameplay though

[stable bolt]

I didnt like them because of the ww theme but it was awesome

[solar tinsel]

I think it would work, but the maps would need to be less specifically centered around large structural centerpieces

[shy talon]

BF1's gunplay was horrendous

[grand summit]

ya bf1 gun play not a fan lol

[stable bolt]

bf1 story,map and feels were awesome

[solar tinsel]

BC maps were often terrain plus those copy/paste buildings (not knocking it of course)

[stable bolt]

even if gunplay was meh

the story and maps made up for it

[solar tinsel]

by the end of the match BC maps would be largely terrain

[rare tendon]

Sniping was good on bf1 tough

[shy talon]

I feel like gameplay should be #1 priority

[reef prawn]

Lots of maps still had structures u couldn’t blow up but bf3 went the complete opposite

[stable bolt]

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

[solar tinsel]

sure, the balance shifted

[reef prawn]

Almost no destruction.

[grand summit]

BF needs to be more like vanguard tbh 🤡👀

[shy talon]

if i only cared about story and maps i would just watch movies

[stable bolt]

smh my head

[quartz jay]

3 more day

[brittle forge]

Vanguard makes BFV look like hell let loose in terms of authenticity lmao

[tame cobalt]

it just barely works in bfbc2 because the maps are tiny and rush mode means you're moving to fresh sections constantly... in modern conquest the maps would devolve into sniper fests fast

[green breach]

Everyone needs to go team dozer.

[stable bolt]

bf1 intro is one of the best intro in gaming

[solar tinsel]

for sure

[shy talon]

Did BC2 have jets? i swear it didnt

[solar tinsel]

did not

[green breach]

It was small the maps but the again you only had 32 players.

[brittle forge]

Nope

[solar tinsel]

But BC2 maps are allegedly being updated to support 64 player size variations, and jets included with that

[shy talon]

bruh

[solar tinsel]

the jets are confirmed: per the trailer

[wise zodiac]

And Hell Let Loose makes Battlefield look like Call of Duty

[vague panther]

bingqiling

[brittle forge]

Indeed

[solar tinsel]

actually it's not allegedly, thats per the Portal post

[shy talon]

BC2 classic maps would be great as a backbone for making proper competetive modes with portal

[solar tinsel]

so yeah BC2 will have 64 player conquest for first time

[green breach]

A lot of maps in battlefield looks like there is more but out of bounds.

So shouldn't be hard to update.

[tame cobalt]

Bing Chilling 🥶🍦

[solar tinsel]

To an extent, sometimes that was true if you consider Rush

[vague panther]

true

[solar tinsel]

like Arica Harbor conquest had a LOT left out of it that was for Rush

so if you open that up for 64 CQ, there's plenty of space to use

[reef prawn]

I didn’t thjnk about this but ya

[green breach]

Bad Company maps were designed for rush. Not conquest

[reef prawn]

Sniping was much more rare in bfbc2

[shy talon]

John Xina is that you?

[lament kiln]

What day and time is the gold edition dropping in EST?

[reef prawn]

LOL

[green breach]

Some say 10am others say midnight

[arctic grove]

[green breach]

Time

[arctic grove]

[rare tendon]

/when event:early_release

[solar tinsel]

[tame cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/binchiling-john-cena-gif-22115595

[green breach]

[sweet cradle]

[arctic grove]

[slow sluice]

i think its the 12th on the dot for their local timezone all i know is that that is 9pm pst

[lament kiln]

I should have specified release not preload time

[rare tendon]

Nah

[arctic grove]

oh

12th

[rare tendon]

You can get the early over here

[rare tendon]

Type this

Withouth the space

[lament kiln]

I just wanted to know if it was the midnight of Thursday or Friday

[shy talon]

Also i have a very unrealistic wish for BF

[rare tendon]

Type what I said

[shy talon]

Steal flight controls from War Thunder

[arctic grove]

i cant imagine how that would play out

[shy talon]

Going from war thunder to 2042 felt like hell on earth in terms of controls

[slow sluice]

midnight thursday which is technically friday EST

[distant swallow]

Its already available to play man

[green breach]

I get a gold star for figuring it out

[lament kiln]

@rare tendon thanks

[lament kiln]

I'll lick between your toes

[green breach]

Well it was for some reason with Xbox. But could only play with bots.

10th

[arctic grove]

2

[tribal kelp]

the 10th

[green breach]

Deep that a black hole profile pic? Well it sucks......in matter.

[tribal kelp]

lol

you're not wrong

[distant swallow]

[green breach]

It's also EA with your wallet with FIFA

[glossy storm]

That M1 Garand in the new Portal trailer looks good.

[lament kiln]

[tribal kelp]

i hope that early access members for the game won't have to go against all bots

[green breach]

They changed the rocket design from 1942 in portal. Not complaining just something I noticed.

[distant swallow]

[haughty rock]

Can't wait for the release

[tribal kelp]

can't wait to play on noshar canals again

[upper pollen]

are u as hyped as me

[teal jewel]

Any info about service stars?

[tame cobalt]

Can't wait to play on noshahr canals for the first time

[arctic grove]

i couldt not be hyper

[tribal kelp]

regular progression 1-99

[arctic grove]

manifest looking like my fav so far

[tame cobalt]

Can't wait to play renewal

[tribal kelp]

and then i think theres prestige levels after that

[distant swallow]

There are 1000 levels in BF2042

[arctic grove]

S1-999

[tribal kelp]

plus all the weapons and vehicles have individual levels too

[arctic grove]

after 1-99

[bitter hill]

bro, get ready to be 720 no scoped

[tribal kelp]

yep

[bitter hill]

I hope there's a night map

[tribal kelp]

after you reach lvl 99, you reset to s1

[arctic grove]

[bitter hill]

wasn't there one in hazard zone trailer

[tame cobalt]

i know it would be a motion sickness simulator but battlefield in vr would be sick

[dire pecan]

Can't wait for this chat to become a salt mine

[bitter hill]

yeaaaa

[arctic grove]

night tornado

[tribal kelp]

in portal mode there should be an option for day and night i would hope

[bitter hill]

yeah

[upper pollen]

bro u can do everything u want

in portal

[bitter hill]

night operations battlefield 4

[distant swallow]

However the salt mine aint glitched as Vanguard is

[tribal kelp]

i knoooow it looks so sick

[tame cobalt]

In 20 years when the Oasis from ready player one exists I'm gonna be playing battlefield on it

[arctic grove]

maybe a free dlc or paid idk

[dire pecan]

Vanguard will still outsell battlefield unfortunately

[arctic grove]

idk how cod still selling games with those graphics ngl

[bitter hill]

vanguard is really just wwii 2

[tribal kelp]

yea but im sure eventually all the vanguard players will get sick of it and migrate to 2042

[bitter hill]

cod wwii sucked

[arctic grove]

ww2 squared

[brittle forge]

The oasis is one of those things that would be really cool but I feel like if it actually occurred would be a bit of a nightmarish scenario

[craggy sail]

what time early access will go live in the netherlands on november 12?

[tame cobalt]

vanguard map graphics are fire wym? new warzone map looks like it's from 2012 though

[tribal kelp]

my friend almost got vanguard but i talked him out of it lol he's getting 2042 now

[bitter hill]

new warzone map?

[distant swallow]

As long as BF2042 get good sellings Im fine with that, EA devs still own us Bad Company 3

[bitter hill]

they've saying that since last year

[brittle forge]

Did everybody clap when you finished

[tame cobalt]

Depends on the state of society...

[arctic grove]

last time i played the vanguard beta graphics were horrendous

[tribal kelp]

i hope so lol

[bitter hill]

it's still verdank or whatever its called

[tame cobalt]

yeah they improved it

[arctic grove]

by a lot?

[tame cobalt]

idk but the graphics look fire

[arctic grove]

ill have to look

[solar tinsel]

Most often, betas do not have full resolution graphics included

[bitter hill]

player models in 2042 were kinda low res in game

[tribal kelp]

how do you guys feel about the br-type mode in 2042? i'm completely blanking on the name rn

[brittle forge]

I thought the models were fine it was the environment that looks kind of lo-res

[upper pollen]

hazard zo,e

[sweet cradle]

high hopes

[bitter hill]

hazard zone

[arctic grove]

are the raphics supposed to look like they are from a comic in vanguard

[upper pollen]

eft kinda style

[brittle forge]

Hazard Zone? We don’t really know enough about it to really guess how it’s gonna play out imo

[solar tinsel]

I'm a fan of PvEvP, so I'm excited to see it come to BF for once

[vague panther]

yeah

[bitter hill]

no I was just agreeing with @solar tinsel

[bitter hill]

.

[tribal kelp]

yeah, I think it could be fun. tbh anything would be better than the bf5 one lol

[arctic grove]

is hz pvevp?

[distant swallow]

Vanguard zombies are the worst zombies of all series by far, scopes glithed, shotguns buffed, ttk 0,00002ms, 3 pre-season prestiges that worth nothing cause will change in 24 days, got a lot work to do, the game was made faster because they didn't have time to do it better also Treyarch have to help them, Sledgehammer = 💩

[solar tinsel]

yup

[vague panther]

whatcmd is gold edition release

[arctic grove]

really how i thought it was straight launch in find drives kill and leave

[slow drum]

sir this is battlefield chat

[tribal kelp]

man i saw some gameplay of it and wtf is up with teleporting to different areas in a controlled horde mode? plus the fact they're holding the easter egg until december is bs

[solar tinsel]

I mean that is the core of it, but AI groups (forgot the nickname they get) patrol areas of the map to defend drives

[slow drum]

i advise you to go to the call of duty discord for that

[vale pier]

After cold war, what did you expect from treyarch

[arctic grove]

really was it in the trailer

[solar tinsel]

"Occupying Forces" that's the name

[arctic grove]

WHY CANT THESE COMPANIES RELEASE AN ABSOLUTELY PERFECT GAME FFS ITS CRIMINAL I TELL YA IT’S CRIMINAL JUST LIKE THAT COSTUMED MENACE SPIDERMAN

PARKER WHERE ARE MY PHOTOS

[solar tinsel]

I mean the trailer was very little actual gameplay so hard to tell

[sudden wasp]

4 days right

[sweet cradle]

yes

[brittle forge]

Chat was pretty chill but go off

[arctic grove]

does the webstie confirm pve

[tribal kelp]

you can pre load on the 10th though

[slow drum]

because not every company has a bottomless budget and millions of people working on the same game

[astral marsh]

I don’t think we will ever get a bad company 3 from dice

[arctic grove]

You know i come to party

[azure lodge]

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

[distant swallow]

I know I know, my bad but some people were talking about Vanguard Im just dropping my opinion about it, I played the game and like both series but this year we have a clear winner in the "race"

[daring goblet]

if I have xbox game pass on pc I'll be able to play battlefield 2042 via ea play for 10 hours right ?

[astral marsh]

It’s been what 10 years since bad company 2

[broken plank]

:0

3 days

less goo

[solar tinsel]

yeah "Inserted as a four-member squad, you must locate and retrieve critical Data Drives scattered throughout the battlefield, while fighting opposing squads with the same objective and Occupying Forces"

[arctic grove]

oh yeah

[brittle forge]

Will probably get one at some point but given the DICE’s said they don’t know what made BC2 so popular they’re kind of afraid to release one because of the expectations it would generate

[foggy canopy]

Hello there

[distant swallow]

Fun story: Im banned from CoD discord because I asked a random to marry me

[arctic grove]

noicee i wonder if there will be a way to distinguish the 2

[tribal kelp]

i'm gonna create a portal server where one team has defibs as primary weapons and the other has only knives

[astral marsh]

True and plus 2 ended on a massive cliffhanger

[tribal kelp]

let the chaos ensue

[arctic grove]

so the trailer

[solar tinsel]

They'll probably have more generic uniforms/models

[slow drum]

wow, that’s stupid

[tribal kelp]

pretty much yeah lmao

[arctic grove]

fair enough

no arguements here

[clever hearth]

Really sucks bf2042 is turning into a disaster

[azure lodge]

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

[tribal kelp]

how?

[arctic grove]

Wdym

[distant swallow]

Reason of ban: Sexual harassment (100% real btw)

[arctic grove]

i must retreive te wafflEs

[arctic grove]

LOL

[slow drum]

what

[clever hearth]

I mean 22 weapans at launch is pitiful

[slow drum]

i don’t think that’s sexual harassment

[clever hearth]

I mean 22 weapans at launch is pitiful

[arctic grove]

we get new guns around every 3 months

[weary osprey]

👀

[arctic grove]

what will ult edition acc get me apart from pre order early access

[clever hearth]

I wish dice would delay the game because the beta was sooo broken and speacialists are awful for the game.

[slow drum]

free cosmetics and free dlc

[arctic grove]

and if that goes into around the cycle 2 year cycle we should have more weapons by the end of 2 years

[arctic grove]

stop whining

plus portal has a BUNCH of weapons

[arctic grove]

ah cool so skins and stuff

[distant swallow]

[slow drum]

yes

[tribal kelp]

22 weapons at launch plus all the weapons you can bring in from portal....there's gonna be a ton of content plus free shit that dice puts in over time

[clever hearth]

The amount of content at launch is objectively low and cod vanguard, i hate to say it but its in a much more stable sense

[brittle forge]

In fairness nobody’s prediction for how the game is going to turn out is false at the moment since nobody knows

[arctic grove]

i just cant wait for the 12th 🤠

[tribal kelp]

LOL

[arctic grove]

True

might make a portal server where its vanilla 2042 with every gun possible in the every mode of the game

[clever hearth]

If bf2042 wants to be successful it has to be competitive

[slow drum]

k

[distant swallow]

I hope those skins doesn't look like clowns like Cold War skins

[clever hearth]

Content is what’s important in todays day and age

2042 is lacking

[arctic grove]

anyone else not use weapon skins or many skins period

[brittle forge]

Battlefield isn’t an esport game my man

[weary osprey]

Is it not?

[clever hearth]

no competive against its competors and other games on the market

[tribal kelp]

I mean you're entitled to your opinion but cod vanguard isn't gonna be appealing for very long

[solar tinsel]

I'm not so sure. Fortnite and Apex all launched with one map and less weapons, and look where they are now

[arctic grove]

hear me out what about a portal mode where its 32 bf 1942 players with 2042 guns and 64 bf 2042 players with 1942 guns

[vale pier]

Clown skins sell, so expect them. Maybe not at launch, but give it a couple of months

[slow drum]

idk read the fuckin description for the ultimate edition

[distant swallow]

[arctic grove]

huh

[slow drum]

i’m having a stroke reading that

[clever hearth]

Portal is not going to be were the vast majority of CASUAL players will be
