we need portal 3
can't wait for you mods to learn to take a joke
Hold a specific car for points
youll be crucified dont
they will
why cant the Peacekeeper and Phantom Bow be in 2042
All we ask is for you to be respectful towards everyone and that's it.
can you take a joke?
True. Valve needs to start making more games
Yooo battlefield comes out in 2 days
not everyone deserves respect
Valve doesnt make games
He 100% can.
let's go man.. I want to play now
oh yea
yeah i mean he not wrong
cool gif
Yes they do
No they dont
Making offensive jokes is just not allowed here is my point. Respect is one of our rules here and we expect you to follow that rule.
half life alyx?
Now, I must leave, I hope y'all can behave.
🤦♂️
Someone needs to grow up.
wow VR game how special.
rules are meant to be broken
what the-
sounds like someone cant afford a vr headset 
I wouldn’t put any money down on that..
Valve hasnt made a new IP since 2007
portal is just custom games

peepee
He didn’t.
Portal and Portal 2
we'll continue to make jokes because guess what! jokes are good for the world. it's okay to laugh with and at people at times
okay can we laugh at you then?
Kneecaps are made to be broken, too. go get em
10 years ago bro
cats spines are meant to be broken too
Wtf
Portal 2 released in 2011* I also said they should start making more games 😭
au servers are so dog shit
yes. i encourage it
Valve is the main developer and publisher of the single-player Half-Life and Portal games and the multiplayer games Counter-Strike, Team Fortress 2, Dota 2, and Artifact. Valve also published the multiplayer game Left 4 Dead and developed and published Left 4 Dead 2.
Unreleased and canceled Valve games include numerous Half-Life projects and the fantasy role-playing game Prospero.[84] Valve worked with Arkane Studios on The Crossing, which was canceled in May 2009.[85]
In 2018, Valve released Artifact, a digital collectible card game. While its gameplay received praise, it was criticized for its high learning curve and monetization model, which some described as pay-to-win. It saw a 95% decline in players within two months of release, with only around a hundred concurrent players by mid-2019.[86] Valve was surprised by the response, describing it as the largest discrepancy between their expectations for a game and the outcome.[87] They announced a reworked version, Artifact 2.0, in 2020; it entered a closed beta that March. In March 2021, citing a lack of player interest, Valve announced that it had ceased Artifact development and made both games free to play.[88]
dreams are made to be broken, mine broke a long time ago
how many years ago was 2011
Offensive content
tbh if you havent played half life alyx you are really missing out, its a really really good game
what do you expect man we have the worst internet in the developed world
It’s offensive
how?
you sure?
I said so
prove it
So they havent released a traditional game in 10 years and most of their games are based off of mods of other games?
its wikipedia content
Prove what? 🧦
not that the server admins
im 90% sure we have the worst internet or close to that in the developed world
oh ok
they did make artifact
come over to turkey then lmfao
if its stupid and works, it aint stupid
I remember when Valve announced Artifact and hearing the groans from the crowd
try india then. wont even get good ping games for bf
you cant be angry about a game that never existed
they make their money off steam
they could never make a game ever again and would still be rich
Valve doesn't need to make games as long as Steam exists.
you make your money of bating people
yup
ya, they wont make another game because they dont have to
is india even a first world country im talking about 1st world countries
yeah thats the point
3rdd world has the worst always
ok
which is okay tbh dont make a game to sell money
wut
especially with the case of valve games
case in point: overwatch 2
Valve can’t count to 3
its pretty much overwatch but reworked champions
aka wasnt needed at all but only a money grab
It’s overwatch with a PVE
😐
yes it could have been added with regular ow as they did with previous new modes/skins/maps
OW2 started out as a PvE addition to the base game with some new character models thrown in on top. It became a near-complete reworking of the game's engine AND a reworking of many Heroes to change the game from 6v6 to 5v5.
Ahhh yes a money grab 🛌
we had reworks before, like completely changing abilities and how they work and same with modes
game engine meh
the only thing I like is the Toronto map
The problem is that they announced OW2 when it was a basic bitch expansion, so people were expecting it to not be in development that long. But now with Covid + Blizz Drama Llama, development of OW2 ground to a halt. AND on top of this OW1 has had almost no new content since shortly after OW2 announcement
And now the OW playerbase is dropping like flies and Blizz is saying OW2 has been pushed back to likely be 2023 release
You don’t need to buy Overwatch 2 to play the OW2 new PVP modes and maps, as they will be updated in the original title also. However, for PVE content, Overwatch 2 will have to be purchased at the possible price point of $60+.
the $60 price tag for pve
Well we don't know the price because its still over a year out
We don’t know the price tag yet?
and thats usd so like $80 for it, and given the current state dont think its going to do too hot
I'm in Canada
Well Battlefield 10 is going to cost 1 million dollars, so ded gaem
the point
Your head
😭
and the prices is from multiple websites saying $60
Has Blizzard announced a price yet? No. The game doesn’t even have a release date yet.
Official Blizz shop has no listing for OW2 yet
I hope so, but doesnt change my mind about the game
any price you see on any website is pure speculation
Ok? Just stay with the multiplayer. You don’t have to buy the PVE 🤷♂️
Insider Info: It will cost between 1 and 200 dollars. Insider info I just received from my sources
Source???
Also my memory is not what it used to be, but im fairly sure OW1 on launch was only $40
yep
Insider that is working on the game
so assuming OW2 would be $60 is KEK
back then other games were $60 too now they are easily $80 to $100
I remember buying bf3 for $60 at launch
Almost every game has been $60 
inflation go brrr

Our dollar was on par with the USD at that time too.
sorry should specific used to be $60 cad
yep, my family used to hit up buffalo for cheaper milk and drive back kek
Hi Gura
Look, i will bash the OW2 debacle all day, but dissing it for price when the game is over a year out is just speculation
Battlefield 2042 | Release (Gold/Ultimate)
Releases <t:1636704000:R> (<t:1636704000:F>) Exact time is an estimate
tho I cant complain about ow prices I got the game for free
You will pay a premium price for a luxury product, lets leave it at that.
battlefield is dead, the squad plays among us now 💪
I almost never pay premium price kek
Suspicious
my body is ready for Amogus cosmetics in Battlefield
well I did like 2 weeks ago with pixel 6 pro but last time I paid a premium price was for my degree
$50,000 
Overwatch remember when that was relevant LUL
No
if we dont have an Amogus BF Portal server up day 1 i will be disappointed in humanity
no among us in bf??
A pro overwatch player died yesterday
Turns out when you don't like something you won't hear anything about it
S
U
S
wait is this real
now it's like, remember when Blizzard was relevant
No. An edit a mod made
No. It's photoshop
lol
yes 100% real
That is clearly not an edited image.
Still are 😐
wait she did Mercy and Cortana oop
time for sus shields
Any1 who tells you it isnt real is super Sus
The english voice is fine it's was the Brazilian voice actor that died
I think
Brazil Cortana lmao
Because I'm sending you to Brazil
Cortana LUL
I got pretty high up in OW, peaked at Masters, was fun back in the day
Sad about the 20 year old pro overwatch player that died? Or Brazilian Mercy? Or both
both
But i was fully a Mei degenerate, and now they are ruining Mei in OW2
Bet you didn’t know he died
Nope
garbage meme
Tomorrow
2042 subreddit so many low iq memes there it's really bad
RIP Alarm 😭
how did he die?
i dont get people who go to that subreddit and just spend all their time bashing a game that isnt even out yet
2042 Reddit isn’t bad at all
My preload start at 1:00 am tomorrow.
true
nah it's all bad, one of the more bipolar subreddits I've ever seen
Sort by new if you wanna taste the garbage.
I have never before seen a game subreddit pre-launch that is so committed to bashing it
'Cancelled my preorder' '2042 is #NotMyBattlefield' yeah it isnt bad at all
they are committed to bashing it AND defending it to death
Sorry I don’t read posts with low upvotes 
Where is dis pic
Ah
You have 2 days, it'll be fine.
worlds first preload here
those same people are gonna lag in jets and annoy everyone else
game says i cant preload it until 1 pm tomorrow
Same
dont even know how someone can have internet that slow in 2021, must live in the middle of nowhere
Or in germany
even in Canada, we have fast internet because we have like 6 people paying for it
$130 for 1500/940, I regret nothing.
I have mountain internet
the cheapest plan by bell one of the 2 biggest isp companies is $50 for 10 mbps download 0.93 mbps upload and only 100gb monthly usage
Biden Internet is coming to save you, I hope it's actually called that
Where in Canada you at? I'm literally on a Bell fibre connection.
$59 for 1gb/1gb
outside of Toronto
I pay 65 a month for 1 gb net
we have rogers in my house
i want fiber net tho
Ah, rogers.
I mean that is assuming the government actually follows through on it's promise, so you know
its like 90 a month for 1200
so like 1gig download and 30mbps upload lol
I remember having a 10/5 60GB/month internet from Rogers in the early 00's.
It was hell.
bring back the days of having to use AOL trial CDs 
Is bf comjng tomorrow
Oh nice
You Got Mail
im downloading games less than 10 mbps/sec
Early access is the 12th for Gold/Ultimate
and i was installing bfv
God i wish lines were that good here
I want to buy but $109 for the gold edition is just 
11:30pm for me perload
if I wanted to download a game I had to do it overnight, shitty days
Y to only vips
the power of mountain internet
Cause we rich
LOL, EVERYONE can preload tomorrow
lol yes. I do like 1TB a week prolly and that's mostly from youtube
By that same logic: how come only people that pay for the game get to play it, at all?
the vip is pretty much most people cos most got gold or ultiate
NICE
could use CC to buy game and only pay min monthly to pay it off 
Our stupid leaders think that copper lines are all we need so they half assed it all and set us back miles behind the rest of the world lol
I can preload at 11:30pm my time. i will download on 11th instead
hey dont give out american logic, credit cards 

late night download seriiously?
Reminds me of economy class and business class in airplanes. .....as real life doesn't have enough discrimination that they also doing in video games....can't beleive video gamee also give priority now to rich and and discriminate poor
i wll download 2042 on 11th
wat
11:30pm IST D:
why would you leave your computer on the whole night
I should probably remind the 3 people I splurged Ultimates on to download their shit later today.
just do it tomorrow?
Honestly, I feel like I'm not rushing to anything. I may not even be able to play all that much if at all on Friday, despite having early access 😆
electricity aint cheap
I don't give a fuck about bf2042. Haven't bought yet
It’s like less than 50 gb gonna take like 20 mins tops
Or he can do it when he wants.
people turn their computers off? peasants
U can leave pc on forever
my pc stronk
PS4/5 will check for updates around 4AM local.
Yo yo yo when dose the pre load start for playstation
24/7 uptime baby, until the power goes out
Oh shi
That's why consoles make sounds like airplane when running games. ...pc can run months without need to turn it off
I'll check it in 30 mins thanks
My PC is silent
battlefield 2042 for nintendo switch when
@barren ore I mean consoles
I have my fans spinning at max speed
5800x is a hot bitch
New Zealand is gonna experience a population boom soon
all 5 fans brrrrr
It'd throw another 5 minutes on Playstation, the store takes a hot minute to update.
I run a 5900x, dead quiet
is this for ultimate edition only
5800x runs hotter than 5900x
Consoles make noise like airplanes lol and u can't even clean it urself...pc can run months 24/7 without noise if u clean fans
then why are you here
lol
I wanted 5900x but didnt want to spend $200 more
yes all the mega rich are moving to New Zealand, That's their population boom
@peak socket shut
5800x is hard to cool even with AIO
no u
I will buy battlefield for 2$ after 2 years 😋
i envy you why did they reschedule the pre load
2 days, 2 hours, and 59 minutes
I was sitting at 80-90c easily had to set it to eco mode
I too want to live in The Lord of the Rings
Bf2042 delayed
I'll build Rohan myself
eco mode made me loost like 5fps but 25c lower temps
earlier it was 1:30pm IST. then they rescheduled it to 11:30pm IST
Oh hey, sony was on time. PS4 download is live.
stop baiting people
U gonna play on PS4 lmao
Will the game run better on launch since the beta was a old game profile?
yeah and you an xbox 360
Dude it's capped 64 players
I want to preorder 2042 but after my experience with my last pre order with pixel 6 pro im scared kek
Ran like any other Battlefield to date.
I think it did, but it's not as good
I have a 2060 super and 10600k and my shit stuttered
smh why can't they make the preload time the same for pc users
hes baiting im sure of it
They r lazy
majority players are pc
it was 1:30pm IST then they delayed it
yo quick question , buy on Steam or Origin? no cursed epic games
at least they dont complain as much as you
@dense mango no majority are console
Imagine tdm with 128
I will pre load tommrrow
tdm ziba tower 128 players
imagine if they had operation locker room with 124 players
Why u think graphics look like game is from 2013 coz they had to make it run on PS4... majority.play on console
Metro 128 explosives only
Doesnt matter where you buy it, it launches the game from Origins anyways @plush plinth
you mean pc
Stop now. Read the rules. Last Warning.
Spray and pray
You get a copy on Origin and Steam if you buy it on Steam
@arctic grove who asked
Dice asked
ok thanks
7 minutes. I am speed.
Probably
Ping Mod?
BUT it is faster to download on Steam, Origin downloads are garbage
i dont understand consoles but hey you do you
Hopefully there will be domination
What's the size of the download?
so is it midnight for everyone when servers go live on friday?
Worst thing that they removed it from bfv
Not really. It depends more on your ISP.
The game
I want a consoles
43.462GB on PS4
even tho I have a beefy pc
Cool thanks
Steam download is faster
well Origin USED to be good for me, but recently its trash
some games like horizon zero dawn are meant for consoles only
yea, literally my last ever console was a ps4 slim
The application is trash, have to relaunch it all the time. Downloads are trash
then i moved onto high end pcs
its on PC now
and like I use my pc for work 8 hours and spending another 8 hours on it sounds meh
Weird, usually most downloads are electric powered
Origin is garbage
I had almost identical speeds on STEAM and ORIGIN last week.
I want a console with a 8k tv and my couch
I've reinstalled Origin like 10 times seriously
Can anyone preload on pc?
naw
If I pre order 2042 through Origin can i download steam
I know I tried it out, uninstalled it waiting for 8k tv and ps5/ps6 to play
10 am pst aka 18 utc
I have a beefy work PC provided by my employer that I can't use for anything other than work.
EA desktop is better than Origin but download speeds are just as bad
Not even browsing.
Basically in 11 hours
You can't really see the difference
and 11:30pm IST they delayed pre load
i'm so confused ultimate and gold both have different preloads right
4k is good enough
I'm hype for Battlefield 2042
I want the experience of sitting on a couch and gaming
no same
Everyone has same, standard included, for preload
We all are
hey dead
I can download it now ?
Its 11:30pn for me too
couch gaming on battlefield sucks, hard to see anything
I do agree in your name
yoooo
eh
Ty king
Did you read it?
i will download tomorrow on 11th
I played tons of bf3 on my ps3, it was fine for me
Yes
Nice! What is it clocking in at size wise?
Nope if I read I wouldn’t have asked
Agree. I have a PS5 and also play on a monitor
10 pst = 1pm est
Move couch closer, you can fix your messed up eyes with glasses.
Dis supposed to be PC?
for fps sure pc is better with keyboard/mouse
Lol
Depends tho
Let’s gooo
but games like assassin creed/ horizon zero dawn/god of war console with controller is better
having a larger display makes your eyes work harder to look for targets lmao
M&k allows to make better aim but you also have to know how
Feels
ong for some reason my preload is on the 11th 😢
the idea of sitting on my pc for 12 hours sounds bad
but then again I already do that

HAHAHA
Just stand up
y'all think they're going to add more weapons soon?
GMT +7
Probably once the season starts.
my last job was 12 hour shift on my pc so I would work from 8am to 8pm and 8pm to 11pm game on pc, sleep and repeat
kek
lmao my download rate is so bad on origin its less than 10 MBPS a second
see, origin sucks
then i did a speed test on google and i got 120 MBPS
dont trust isps
Then your origin speed is accurate
123.8
Mbps download
76.4
Mbps upload
Latency: 17 ms
Server: Chennai
Your Internet connection is very fast.
Your Internet connection should be able to handle multiple devices streaming HD videos, video conferencing and gaming at the same time.
this is what i got
speed test uses megaBITS per second. Origin uses megaBYTES per second
I'm on 24 hour "shifts" for my WFH gig.
100 megaBITS=10megaBYTES
ouch one of those eh 
ISPs use bits to fool you into thinking its quicker
so that means 1 single mega byte on speed test
Oh no, I love it. If I get called up off of a scheduled shift I get to charge a consultant fee.
Actually 12.5
ohh good pay then 
On top of being paid fairly well, lol.
close enough you nerd
does anyone know how big the download will be? for pc on steam
$150/h for waking me up when it's not my turn.
fair enough
hot damn
someone posted it was like 44GB on reddit. But without day 0 patch
is it min for a few hours or what?
for me its like 12gb
44GB?
the entire game?
idk
yes but I doubt it
That's the same as 100Mb = 12.5 MB
Nerd
i was thinking something around 100 ish haha
ah gotcha
fucking BFV is like 90GB and it has no content
this aint COD homie
Longest I worked charging that was 7 hours the day after an actual shift.
yeah, most games now are somewhere between 80-100 GBs
Battlefield 2042 | Release (Gold/Ultimate)
Releases <t:1636704000:R> (<t:1636704000:F>) Exact time is an estimate
Doesn't happen often though, and when it does it's usually not even an hour.
what do you do?
1 mega byte is 8 mega bits
according to google
that is correct xd
yes that is correct
thought it was help desk at first but $150/hr sounds too much for it
I am under an NDA. 
oop
Yo
omg I literally cannot waaaait
Yo
so in speed test i got 120 mega bits
43.71 GB. Thanks!
soooo its 15 mega bytes

it SHOULD be 15 mega bytes
I get that a lot, but no. lol
Shall i pre order bf2042 or buy rust. I was kinda disappointed with 2041 as in mh opinion it wasnt a successor to bf4 like they said
aint it obvious?

Rust? DED GAME
I’m getting gigabit internet next week I wish I could’ve downloaded it then
ong
According to google human DNA sequences are over 95% identical to chimpanzee sequences and around 50% identical to banana sequences.
Whens 2042 out
rust was good until it got plauged by racist 12 year olds
Tomorrow
but in origin im getting less than 10 mega bytes when it should be 15
so what is wrong
Now I'm gonna "nerd it" up
mb would be "millibits" 😛
this friday if you are getting the gold/ultimate edition
next friday if you are getting standard
Battlefield 2042 | Release (Gold/Ultimate)
Releases <t:1636704000:R> (<t:1636704000:F>) Exact time is an estimate
@wary rivet well on steam, it says Storage: 100 GB available space, so i was assuming it would be close to that number
Im getting normal
I got gold
No campaign means the size is really slimmed down.
early access gang
no its around 45-50 gb im guessing according to xbox series x and ps5
Yeah, I'd only get gold/ultimate edition if you really want to play the game like right now
Especially the lack of extra audio files.
youd think but for me it says 12GB i honestly thought it would be higher
me
me
Bf 2042 vr when
It’s 43GB on PS5
@wary rivetfair fiar!
we need a BF vr game
ik that that would be like
super super
Just put VR in 2042
0_0
\o/
You probably can
Join the military.
You can do GTA 5 in vr
And die
Wait, really?
good for you
The highest stakes.
Single player only there is a mod for vr headset
Pls tell me console will be getting MNK support
No man sky is vr and has motion control so you have to hold the steering wheel go drive
Nope
half of the time u dont even get deployed
WHY
yes it is
such bs
Gold and ultimate users yes
i think he meant the trilogy trailer
3 or 5am
A friend of mine played it VR, and promptly vomited while doing a barrel roll.
yeah, but BF would require a lot more power to run in vr
like, you'd need a 4090 to run battlefield in vr lol
can i send a screenshot to someone so that they can calculate my download rate?

okay 1 minute
yeah u bamboozled me though, actually had to google search if it was true
what do you need to know?
my download rate so that i know how fast 2042 download will be
Here’s GTA6 for you 
this is easy to sort out, what was your down speed again?

Cool site!
haven't seen that one before
It's been 8 years, if gta 6 is gonna come out its gonna come out a banger. cuz rockstar is the g when it comes to story driven games.
yeah
Not online though
They haven't even released the new gen version of 5 yet, I'd say we still got another decade before 6.
we don't talk about that.
Ya know, I've always wondered why gta games take so long to make
Next gen version isn’t even spectacular ;-;
I don't know who pitched the idea to remaster GTA 5, it alrdy looks good
they used to crank em out real fast
What y’all arguing about today
Like, cyberpunk took only 4 years to make and is about as complex as GTA 5(I think, idk really but I would assume so)
there's so many graphic mods out there, literally pointless to remaster gta 5.
Life's greatest question. Is cereal a soup?
gta online is the most profitable piece of entertainment media ever made, no need to make single player anymore
Not on console lol
If they're making that much money without needing to rush to develop a new game, why bother?
No it’s cereal
they didn't even show gameplay of it in the trailer smh
Back ground theme looking hot
some people like singleplayer, and it's story
Sure, but if they see their current strategy as more profitable, they won't have much reason to pursue that
Exhibit A, this is where indie developers come out.
for sure, this is where indies can flourish
they can just get kids and addictive personalities addicted to "totally not gambling" and get them to spend thousands of dollars
Uh huh, thats why there's a rise of indies
Cause they actually listen to the community.
Everyone loved it 8 years ago when it came out
Ah, so the game probably didn't take long to make, right?
I pre ordered it
I'm sad BF2042 won't have campaign but in the other hand; 60 dollars is 60 dollars
It's easy to listen to your community when its a small number unlike Battlefield with million of copies sold
might aswell play it.
I want the good old days where you can buy the next gen console easily without scalping
Idk how many people play BF for the campaign.
I personally may play the campaign
For what it's worth, earlier BF games didn't have campaign and they still did incredibly well and provided hundreds of hours of gameplay
But when I buy a battlefield game, the first thing I do is multiplayer
I played the campaign first, but after that was done it was all MP all the time and never looked back. There's not much "return on investment" for the dev time spent on SP
Is that static or dynamic theme
Static
Should be dynamic theme I like those
PS5 doesn't support themes yet, all images are publisher supplied, and for games, it's just stills

What 🤨
Themes don’t matter to me so I’m good
The concept is each game/card has its own "theme" / visual identity
I actually like the dynamic response to each game, personally
For me, I go straight to MP bc the multiplayer for Battlefield is what everyone loves about the games right?
Jailbreak ps5
Me to
Nah
If a developer provides it too, there is unique music that plays as well
Why nah
DICE did have this for the beta, so I assumed the core game has this as well
When I click on 2042 music does play
I got watch dogs 2 dynamic theme
right. I always like it when a dev pays attention to that and does that
I'm upset switch v2 is not going to be moddable now that Nintendo sued one of the modders
In the beta, it even seemed like DICE intended on adding Card support as well

so that means being able to launch a game of Battlefield and queue up right from anywhere on the system

No
Oppressor mk2
I would delete the game if they added that in 2042

They were in the final stand DLC
How it's future then 😂.. if no flying cars
One message removed from a suspended account.
Only dynamic theme DICE is late on bf4 to bf 2042
Final stand dlc
If I recall, I thought Final Stand was getting ret-conned here
I don’t know why it would?
2042 should have jetpacks too

One of the specialist should have a jetpack
currently downloading bf2042 gold edition PS4 🙂
Me too
Even if 2042 doesn’t have the hover tanks, they could very well still be prototypes in 2042
Same
I guess perhaps not: but I don't think we have any mention of titans or those hover tanks like the DLC had. Who knows though, maybe we'll see them added in updates
Eh
2 decades later you'd think they perfect hover tanks
72 minutes left
Especially military stuff
I reckon creating something as complex as a hovering tank would take a long time to master
I just can't wait a week

Remember guys, graphics are the only thing that matters
Or just get gold & you can play on Friday
I can't wait bf2042 release To see og fans crying...hahaahah specialist lmao...itneill br funny
I have 42 m more of download on ps5
No I mean if it was working in 2020 even for a prototype
I got 4 left
How to ruin your Francisce 101
Downloading game rn, let’s gooo
I started late, I still have 70 minutes
if they just keep the specialists from becoming walking cringe factories ill be happy
I hate it when Francisces get ruined

I have to wait since I preorder the standard edition
excuse me we got classes too, portal ftw
I don't see how specialist ruin the game
we'll never see any of this Francisce ever again
They are a form of classes too
Sadge
Just like cyberpunk set how to not make single player games...bf2042 gonna set example for fps multiplayer
And fit battlefield very well
We had stuff like riot shields, unlimited parachute before
I’m sure there’s a reason they’re not being widely used. Maybe with the state of the world in 2042, it cost too much to use the hover tanks.
Wish my gigabit internet was installed already 
EOD bot, recon not existed in previous games
Not different from what specialist can do
in theory they don't, but in the beta having everyone look identical and being unable to identify friend and foe was a massive downside
hopefully they adressed that stuff for the release
yeah, hopefully the IFF adjustments there help
We’ll know in 2 more days.


I truly believe that classes are still there, but really it isn't so much now your character selection, but I think your gadget selection: if you take a med kit, ammo kit, repair tool, launcher, etc.
THE TIME HAS COME

Like classes often came down to "what is your team or combat role in the match"
and depending on what gadget you pick, that largely will determine that
Which is fine
If you run MacKay with an ammo kit, your team role (if you do it well) will be to resupply others
I agree
Classes still do exist, but rather than being limited through gadgets and weapons, you're limited with what abilities you specialist has
New way is fine too
i think its a good idea to open up weapons, i would always just choose a class based on what weapon I wanted, or if i needed an rpg. just because i need to be an engineer to fight tanks doesn't mean I want to have weapons restricted
Old ways still exist
It would be nice if they had more passives with certain gadgets
True, but I actually think the core global gadget is the bigger choice
Yes I wanted a rpg with sniper class so many times
A lot of people are LOOKING at the specialists as "classes" but I really think that global gadget slot is the true determiner
Especially when a tank was nearby
If you're a Recon Specialist with a launcher as gadget: guess what, you're Anti-Tank class!
Which I love
Me too, I think it allows for cool hybrid builds
"Anti-Tank with a Recon twist" if your Casper + Launcher
Tanks are op af in 2042
Yeah,can't wait for 64 players with annoying stingers
I still gotta wait 10~ mins
I had so much in beta even if I wasn't driving
Top that off with the insanely watered down jets
The seat where you could launch bombs at people
But then they're giving up a lot of teamplay or even anti-tank utility
cant download even though i have the ultimate edition why???
Ex kills
If a team is loading up on AA gadgets for some reason, stomp em on the ground
make them regret their gadget choice
Tanks were in a good spot in the beta. They could be realistically damaged. Unlike the BFV tanks.
Ima be honest most the players in beta were secretly AI or at least it felt that way 
@solar tinsel yeah that's the thing,I hope people are in such dilemma consistently
yeah that just means the tanks will roll in and wreck them
Try playing in a open map in bf4 jet players are annoying af
I'm of the opinion that, if a whole team ran AA launchers, they SHOULD dominate the air. Jets SHOULD suffer and be unable to operate. The AA launcher has done its role
So hard to kill and so good at killing
@stable bolt that's how it should reamin taking into consideration how much sheer skill and effort it takes just to be good with jets,infantry on the other hand is your usual fps formula
So really: classes aren't gone, they've just been put into a spot people aren't thinking about: the global gadget slot
2042 better have customization loadout, I need some extra firepower and protection for the AA tank if I'm gonna battle the armored tank on land
Wait a few months till people master the new jet being caught in the open would be a free kill for them
Not it was super annoying I'd hop in a chopper or plane and die right away
yeah infantry should have options against jets if they choose to limit their other equipment to accomplish that
@stable bolt skill=reward,that system is good
Jets are the most hardest thing to master
It became impossible to master after a time
And what's cool about specialists, in my opinion, is that in addition to always having that choice, they can choose what type of character traits and perks they use alongside their gadget choice
@stable bolt I don't think there's anything to master when the Jets go that fast and deal the same damage as the helicopters with their miniguns
You'd hop in a chopper and die right away
If you're a Falck with med kit, you are a full on PURE medic. If you're a Falck with a support kit, you're a hybrid support (ammo + health)
1942 portal will have best planes
I love the build flexibility
Yep
Almost RPGish, in a way 😆
@wooden tusk most players won't really go for that option considering you'd barely encounter jets,max 2 jets on each team whilst you have more tanks roaming around
This is tempting me more to buy it
true but if you choose to leave yourself completely open to tanks in order to kill farming jets, that should be an option, then the other team should realize and quickly capitalize
But $109 oop
@wooden tusk fair enough
that sounds more fun than heli sweats farming for all 1000 tickets
It was even hard for me to see how class roles work. I thought they were tied to specialists, and they are billed that way: with specialists having a "class", but to be honest that is only a recommendation.
If you have a MacKay running repair tool and zipping around repairing vehicles. they ARE an Engineer, specialist be damned
So now seeing this potential there, and how it works, I'm excited for the prospect, and I don't think classes are gone, just gadget based now
so the pre load is today?
yes, at various times depending
lemme go convert
when is preload for PC players?
...
ill slap your cheeks open
dont
You missed it, it's too late now.

Do y‘all know if VOIP will be present at launch?
gameplay > immersion tho
it's still gonna be battlefield
Someone do ! when
we need a color name for that
!when
It’s /when
I think they should make a 1:1 version of @next onyx
I want a roller blade specialist they will move much faster than the average specialist but lower health
Battlefield 2042 | Release (Gold/Ultimate)
Releases <t:1636704000:R> (<t:1636704000:F>) Exact time is an estimate
Not at launch, no, I don't believe so
Ree
And magnet roller blade so they can climb buildings
Bayonet charge specialist
mumen rider
Based
Fuck
Do you know why?
they don't get a gun just an m1 bayonet they can run around and charge people with
Are they bringing back bikes?
I couldn't tell you why, but my guess is they just wanted to prioritize other things, and hope that many players prefer services like party chats or Discord. It is a strange thing to see the game NOT have it at launch, but that's the way it is
it first i didnt care about voip but now whan i think about it,its really needed for hazard zone if u que solo with randoms
I want to ride a two wheeler around the city
when do i get to preload my game
Either that or they needed to overhaul their VoIP system to allow for cross-play + 128 player servers
True, although to its credit, good commorose usage has done WONDERS in previous BF games, when you don't want to voice chat
Well the problem is that us consoles players still don’t have discord which is absolute bullshit
thank you
the issue is, not everybody uses it
