[indigo needle]

I don't know what FOMO means.

[hazy vector]

fear of missing out, being scared you'll miss out on a one time opurtunity on something if you don't do it

[lethal junco]

Documents > Battlefield 2042 > Config > profsave_profile <--- I think that's the file path anyway

[ember basin]

fear of missing out

[reef kestrel]

which folder?

Documents or Program files Steam/Origin

[lyric lance]

Oh my bad, i thought you meant the tutorial botmatch

[gaunt swift]

Documents

[split osprey]

how the hell do you know that? Maybe there is some nutjob here yelling at me to buy it

[edgy plank]

docs

[brisk basin]

It’s a human thing, hyping people up with amazing expectations then it collapses, it’s more a self thing but that mentality truly drives people to preorder “promising” games

[old hedge]

they are still pumping sponsored stream to streamers to keep promoting the septic scum that is 2042 to counter the backlash

[reef kestrel]

I was talking to Asmorkreed lol, @edgy plank

He didnt specify the folder.

[undone bone]

I was finding them pretty quick when playing with my room mate before work (Few hours ago)

[old hedge]

the industry term is the "bait and switch"

[turbid arrow]

@old hedge ea marketing should hire us, we got their strategy down to a t

[past turtle]

BF2042 will never recover lol

[edgy plank]

fully no, partially hopefully

[arctic grove]

Programme file > origin > bf 2042

i would by this camo

[reef kestrel]

It's on your documents.

You got the wrong folder

[past turtle]

program*

[fading fossil]

next person to have valid criticism of battlefield 2042 gets a cookie and next person to be a bitch about it gets called mean words

[old hedge]

not really , we just refused to wear their shit tinted glasses

[quartz furnace]

I still enjoy the game, the first few days before I got the pp29 were fucking miserable but the game is in a lot better place right now IMO

[torpid shuttle]

Where is my anime skin?

[arctic grove]

[arctic grove]

Sorry im french ahah

[gaunt swift]

Dont like it. Don't buy it. Already bought it. Refund it. Cant refund it. Don't play it. Nobody's forcing you to play it.
And dont bitch about it.

[reef kestrel]

Restore default settings by removing "PROFSAVE" files in My Documents > Battlefield 2042 > Settings to keep playing

En + c'est écris documents.

[fading fossil]

No it’s correct he’s wrong

[patent path]

Did the gamers cancel my santa skin?

[old hedge]

partial of the cost or investment maybe , definitely not the players lmao

[brisk basin]

Never used and heard that word, interesting term, I should look that up more

[past turtle]

the game fucking blows

[edgy plank]

not enough destruction
gib cookie

[glass trail]

bad hit reg

[arctic grove]

ok

[fading fossil]

fair enough, enjoy man, it’s a big ass cookie 🍪

[arctic grove]

Ok mdr je pensais que cetait pour dire dans le dossiers ×) je check ca

[old hedge]

thats the mantra that every streamer is preaching whenever someone tell em stop streaming 2042

[turbid arrow]

I cant shoot people in my shooter

[tribal ruin]

[quartz furnace]

the maps are either too big or lack cover, if they want to keep the size of the maps add more cover spots

[undone bone]

I mean I wouldn't say 2042 did this. They made the trailers look dope asf, but they didn't do what no mans sky or 2077 did and promise large features that were never implemented. Just because features that people were use to were opted out for other things (specialists) or left out because it has no actual effect on gameplay (scoreboards) which went against people's own expectations doesn't mean they collapsed what they were aiming for with the game.

[past turtle]

nice

[patent path]

Give santa skin

[arctic grove]

they fixed that in the last update tho

[reef kestrel]

[fading fossil]

🍪 enjoy

[white geyser]

I'm gonna need another rocket launcher because this rocket launcher carries only 3 rockets and I'm gonna need more than that

[edgy plank]

🤝

[undone bone]

The rocket launcher is pretty underwhelming ngl

[glass trail]

they didnt fix it they said that theyre looking into it

[quartz furnace]

not completely but it's way better I still have bullets disappearing, especially from machine guns on vehicles

[patent path]

they fixed it a wee bit

[gaunt swift]

atleast theres no recoil

[edgy plank]

its super underwhelming

[arctic grove]

ah i mustve read that wrong then. my bad. i did see a bunch of ytubers say its better tho so idk

[desert elbow]

If it was good people would complain since any specialist can equip it

[quartz furnace]

they reduced recoil and bloom on a lot of guns

[cedar sandal]

The rocket launcher is amazing

[wheat spear]

what is hazard zone?

[edgy plank]

its good weapon made terribly... kinda

[indigo needle]

I had one moment where a tank was passing by and it was already damaged but I couldn't see that but I took it down with one shot and was like "this, this feels right" lol

[undone bone]

I mean just look at the NTW lol. Definitely needed that nerf though

[brisk basin]

My take to that is it’s just hallow, not because of the devs changed the core but it’s feels lifeless plus bugs but bugs are expected though, stuff that happened should’ve been playtested by the devs, I’m wondering if they even played their own game xD

[split osprey]

Where's my damn stats DICE?!?!?!

[lyric lance]

Nerf the OVP-C5 drone combo pls 😦

[arctic grove]

its kind of like escape from tarkov. collect data drives and when u think u have enough, extract

[cedar sandal]

https://clips.twitch.tv/SilkyRoughSashimiBlargNaut-os38yef3a5s6f3Eo

[jovial jay]

bruh my heli just clipped through Kaleidoscope's park building

[hazy vector]

nah, instead they made it even stronger

[glass trail]

hit reg improvements will be on update #4

[edgy plank]

legacy feature, may come back in battle pass

[wheat spear]

oh ok

[ornate prairie]

LEAGUE OF LEGENDS!!!

[gaunt swift]

About this. Theres only so much a server can handle lol. I mean, youve got 128 players. And weather effects. And a big ass map that does have destruction. Now multiply that by however many games are going on AT ONCE, and flash back to the good ol days of BF4 crashing when a building went down.

[lyric lance]

Yeah it's insane. Tanks are totally defenseless

[split osprey]

God every game is like I am playing for nothing lol

[arctic grove]

Je vire profsafe , profsave_profile ou les deux

[arctic grove]

nah c5 drone is nice. gotta deal with the hilltop camping tanks somehow

[old hedge]

it was a bait and switch , and what they switch into was somathing that was stripped barer than the deserts in hourglass

[undone bone]

I mean I agree with this 100%, but I am excited to see seasons implemented and bring more content. And the bugs are annoying asf and frustrating but I don't let that ruin where I believe the game will go over the course of it's life before the next 'experiences' as they've said will be released.

[lyric lance]

Makes it unfair for normal/aggressive tank players.

[radiant osprey]

Ea is gonna ''restructure'' the dice dev team aka fire a lot of people. Director of dice is resigned. The big boss who was in lead of apex and titanfall 2 will be the new boss of battlefield cant wait to see a lot of sliding and walls and shit

[quartz furnace]

if the game had all chat it would be a lot more fun, at least I could talk shit against people

[old hedge]

wheather effects that barely matters and is more clutter noise than feature

[edgy plank]

we already talked(ig) about this, 64 players but massive destruction > 128 players

[brisk basin]

Hopefully it takes the mantle of No man’s sky or BF4 legendary comeback

[white geyser]

I want the sraw rocket launcher to return in 2042, I had fun using it

[split osprey]

Oh my god hilltop camping tanks. They always seem to get on my team and do nothing all game

[hazy vector]

there's also a lot of job openings for senior frostbite devs https://www.ea.com/frostbite/join-us

[arctic grove]

yeah idc. the vehicles are fucking annoying so im gonna abuse it lol. especially the m5c bolte

[undone bone]

They most definitely did not do what 2077/no mans sky did. If you don't understand that I'm not sure you actually payed attention to either of those games launches/the promised features and guarantees released by the companies following the launches.

[jovial jay]

I hate it when teammates take the transport heli and just camp a spot instead of picking up people and take them up the building in Kaleidoscope breakthrough

[gaunt swift]

Thats not the point hater man. The point is its taxing on servers. Read the whole thing before you decide to do something.

[reef kestrel]

Profsave seulement.

[civic mason]

huh

[lyric lance]

Lmao, then by that same logic, idc about infantry players too.

see where this is going? we just need to have a balance imo.

[split osprey]

I thought you were chinese now you speak french?

[hazy vector]

i mean, i don't hear people talking about NMS anymore. so i wouldn't call it a grandiose comeback

[reef kestrel]

I can speak any language.

[edgy plank]

id rather have less people that don't matter to me much than no cool stuff like actual destruction

[arctic grove]

omfg ikr. it was an even bigger problem in battlefield 1 and it still is a problem. shame that bfvs attrition system made them camp even more.

[arctic grove]

The thing is, a situation like No Man's Sky is so unlikely that it might as well be considered an impossibility. They turned a complete failure of a game into an absolutely phenomenal experience.

[undone bone]

As someone that played it day 1 and recently started playing it again, it's night and day.

[prime path]

Just got word that horizontal mouse movement will be apart of the 2022 season pass. Thankfully, DICE has gone above and beyond and has implemented new technology to allow us to play with the Wiimote. Thank you DICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gaunt swift]

Clearly dice didn't think the same. Ig that is the case on last gen tough. Atleast the 64 player bit. Should be a toggle for that on pc. If it was up to me id like to NOT run every 1 mintue to get from one place to another

[indigo needle]

But Sea Of Thieves did a somewhat similar thing right?

[reef kestrel]

the diff. with No man sky, it's an indie dev.

[civic mason]

did y'all know this game doesn't have muzzle awareness?

[radiant osprey]

Thats not gonna happen with this game if the lead designs only diploma is a social science one

[quartz furnace]

dice released a game with 2 game modes and no single player

[undone bone]

I don't mean to imply they will turn 2042 around like nms did their game. But saying 2042 is similar to respects of nms's launch is absurd imo

[split osprey]

It's a bit extra but at least it comes with a santa skin

[desert elbow]

That's not new in Battlefield

[old hedge]

yeah and they dont wanna reveal what the actual difference it will have with older bf games for fear it will affect sales too , thank god for the refund feature on steam for most of us

[cedar sandal]

Battlefield 2042 is already way more fun than No Man Sky will ever be.

[quartz furnace]

people would be less unhappy with this game if rush was an official mode and not just in portal IMO

[gaunt swift]

And battlefront 2. That game did a massive 180

[brisk basin]

Same with BF4, no one talks about it but it’s still really good. It will be praised if mentioned, like the Spider-Man trilogy (Tobey Maguire)

[hazy vector]

sounds like all battlefields before bad company 🤷‍♂️ . never bothered with the campaigns anyway

[split osprey]

What do you think DICE thinks of this game?

[radiant osprey]

This must be your first ever battlefield you played

[arctic grove]

I'm not sure, honestly. I'm not a fan of SoT. I'm sorry. D:

[steady tangle]

so how long until the next update? TBA?

[cedar sandal]

Played every BF since BF1942 (Except BF1943 and Bad Company 1)

[lyric lance]

They're pretty proud. If you look at twitter, most devs think they're game is fine.

[arctic grove]

i wish they let us toggle between 64 and 128 player modes

[white geyser]

Make BF 2042 as a comeback, just support the game, rework it and fix the problem, needs more update and give us the specific new content in the game

[old hedge]

thats why is pointless , my point is remove the weather effects entirely no one wanted or asked for it and is a problem more than a feature

[split osprey]

Oh really haha. I havent seen any of their tweets

[edgy plank]

yeah, smaller map but impressive af destruction wouldve been better, maybe even dynamic one(where you can destroy everything you see except ground

[quartz furnace]

64 players on these maps would be boring as fuck IMO

[reef kestrel]

only Tobey had a trilogy compared Andrew Garfield and Tom.

[desert elbow]

You want them to remove weather effects?

[cedar sandal]

They should be. They have a great game going here.

[gaunt swift]

Yeah but with the world war games you didn't have near future vechicles in the Battlefield, so you kinda had to run. This is the near future. Running for bare time shouldnt be a thing. Gimme a robot horse if a car with a gun is too much

[lyric lance]

Tom is getting No Way Home so at this point it's just Andrew lmao

[brisk basin]

Tom holland will have one in December 17

[marble orchid]

I prefer the weather effects to levelution

[split osprey]

Remember Tobey McGuire and his emo dance. What the fuck was that all about?

[reef kestrel]

Yeah it's not out yet.

But he'll get another trilogy now lmao

[hazy vector]

i prefer levelotion to a dumb tornado

[arctic grove]

what about both

[marble orchid]

levelution made the maps worse

[desert elbow]

Look at Altai range in BF4, you ran for 3 minutes between objetives

[cedar sandal]

Levolution is dumb. It's literally just smoke effects and framerate drops

[brisk basin]

It’s actually a saga, they’re making three more movies after No way home with Tom holland

[old hedge]

1 vote for weather effects that is clutter noise and is more problem than a feature i guess

[quartz furnace]

instead of a tornado it should be a hurricane that is much larger and you can enter the "eye" and then fight inside the eye, make it slower moving and hover over objectives for a while

[reef kestrel]

yes and Mile Morale soon

[split osprey]

No. You sniped from the hills

[undone bone]

Not like it was advertised as having specialists back when people started preordering the game or anything

[brisk basin]

Can’t wait for Miles

[cedar sandal]

The tornado is a gimmick but at least it doesn't tank my fps

[radiant osprey]

You can spam vehicles on top of rooftops where the only point to defend is. Only acces to this point is to squeeze 68 players through 2 shitty elevators or helicopters. Good luck with helicopters trying to dodge all anti air sitting on that rooftop or tanks. Maps are big empty fields with 2 buildings in them. 22 weapons in 4 years when they said they stopped battlefield 5 new content updates to focus everything on battlefield 2042.22 weapons in fking 4 years lmao

[marble orchid]

most of battlefield conquest was you running around after you were killed

[hazy vector]

with the hope specialists would be removed if they bitched enough

[reef kestrel]

The best spiderman.

[lyric lance]

That's why I liked Operations/Breakthrough imo. At least it gives a structure to usually anarchic games

[undone bone]

This ain't a sonic movie

[old hedge]

please dont forgot no single player campaign in exchange for all that

[rancid matrix]

Why can i not look left and right in game ?

[split osprey]

Take off the neck brace

[edgy plank]

new dlc

[brisk basin]

Miles is second best for me, Peter Parker is Peter Parker, third is maybe Tony Stark or Steve rogers

[hazy vector]

Good, battlefield doesn't need singleplayer. especially if they fuck it up by making you unlock some of the better weapons by playing it

[reef kestrel]

Peter is Peter but Miles is

[undone bone]

Which most games also took a swing at and did fine. Albiet I dislike hazard zone personally and would've preferred a campaign

[radiant osprey]

They removed the single player campaign to focus everything on multiplayer and stuff. They removed 50% of the game to add a 5% shitty battle royale mode and still charge full price for this game theyre a joke of a studio

[brisk basin]

Legacy feature

[undone bone]

#direct-communication has the fix.

[quartz furnace]

there is a fix on the battelfield twitter/reddit for that issue

[old hedge]

iirc that one died on dropped cant even get a game myself

[split osprey]

Man im too drunk to play I cant kill anyone

[marble orchid]

when is lean coming back into the game

[indigo needle]

From what I understand the game hyped up a lot of things and was released with very little content, it then went full throttle and turned it around, now even doing stuff with Disney's Pirates amd stuff like that. I like it but I would have wanted something more.. explosive I guess.

[quartz furnace]

not drunk enough

[stiff lichen]

So people expected a decent game, but got 10inch poop log of the ea and dice ceo?

[edgy plank]

go play against bots when lol

[brisk basin]

True but I don’t know why I just love Peter Parker so much, I just grew up with him than Miles but I love miles because he’s relatable too, in his universe his Peter Parker died there

[undone bone]

Not sure what you're talkin bout here

[reef kestrel]

We all grew with Peter.

Miles is the new one with more power.

[gleaming dawn]

A 10 inch poop log would be impressive. This release is not.

[indigo needle]

That's not very viking of you, I will not let you marry my daughter

[split osprey]

i crashed a helicopter with 4 people in it they are not happy at all

[pulsar junco]

WHY THE FUCK DIDNT THEY NERF JETS THIS UPDATE FUCKING HELL

[undone bone]

That's when I start tryna snipe tanks as far as I can with the NTW

[arctic grove]

Honestly, I was excited for the game until I learned what it was. When it comes to pirate games, there's pretty much no other options aside from Sid Meier's Pirates! and Assassin's Creed 4.

[edgy plank]

legacy feature

[reef kestrel]

You think Jet are op?

[empty plank]

So the game is littlebit better now with the update?

[radiant osprey]

Other battlefield games had lot of betas. This pos has 1 broken beta and incredible broken early acces. Then they come tell us yeah were firing a lot of people. Shouldve ''restructured'' dice team after release of bf3 and bf4 after that they went downhill. They took it this far that someone who worked on call of duty is gonna become the boss of bf now. Good job dice

[split osprey]

haha ya ill switch to sniper so i can chill on the hills

[quartz furnace]

this game has jets?

[undone bone]

We need a black flag 2, no cap

[pulsar junco]

literally unkillable

[crisp ferry]

legacy feature

[hazy vector]

you mean rogue? i though black flag was the one with the always online requirement for the trading part of the game

[reef kestrel]

You die to jet ? NOOB

[old hedge]

a lot of feedback of not being able to get into a game for that mode , was assuming it was the issue was with me when i cant find a hazard game but with that many of the same feedback i assume no one even plays that mode so it cant get a match going because not having enough players

[stiff lichen]

I love this server. The other bf2042 server crucified me for getting a refund

[stone granite]

Bruh

[quartz furnace]

what other server??? lol

[edgy plank]

are jets fun against bots?

[pulsar junco]

can 1 strafe any ground vehicle and you cant kill them since they just outrun lockons they're so ludicrously broken

[crisp ferry]

dont worry thats gonna happen here too

[reef kestrel]

Broken because they outrun lock on.. Just git gut.

[split osprey]

whys a poop log impressive

[stone granite]

Try Hovercraft

[quartz furnace]

good fuck ground vehicles, vehicles in general in this game with these maps are cancer

[undone bone]

Ohh you're talking about hazard zone, I was talking about other games entirely that had dropped campaign in favor of other modes like BO4

[pulsar junco]

how do you kill jets then dumbass

[reef kestrel]

High attitude and lock them. 🙂

[crimson wasp]

Jets are pretty weak in BF2042 compared to any other battlefield game that has planes / jets

[gleaming dawn]

Because of its unusually excessive length and girth

[old hedge]

just dont die to jets lol , said no one ever

[pulsar junco]

wtfym they literally just outrun your missiles

[quartz furnace]

run 5 football fields to get within shooting range of an enemy, die to hovercraft/heli spam before you can land a single shot due to bloom making all of your bullets miss

[lyric lance]

Idk, jets are pretty weak in this game already. Never saw anyone use it aside from kamikaze

[reef kestrel]

I already kill many jets it's your own problem m8.

[split osprey]

i really want a tiny dog named Girth

[undone bone]

I mean they really just seem underwhelming in 2042. Most people would rather dive bomb spawns with them then go after other vehicles

[lethal junco]

Jets are a meme

[old hedge]

dont forget about hit reg eating ur shots b4 they make contact on an enemy

[crimson wasp]

👀 yeah about that

[reef kestrel]

Orbital Jet is on point.

[undone bone]

Literally

[lethal junco]

The jets are both op and trash at the same time

[crimson wasp]

Mozzys photo

not mine!

[old hedge]

idk why u guys calling them jets when is clearly a manned cruise missile

[quartz furnace]

also bad but honestly I just abuse that fact the run up closer to enemies while they shoot at me

[lethal junco]

Su-57 with AGMs and the 30mm in a match where people don't dedicate their entire game to trying to kill you and you will destroy people

[indigo needle]

Yeah those were great, I'm hoping that Skull & Bones, if it ever happens, will be the one, not counting on it but I still hope

[radiant osprey]

You have no choice but to implement a vehicle call in system if all the big maps are fking 50 square miles with 3 buildings in the middle. Whats your only option to counter this? Give everyone the option to equip rocket launchers and spam the living shit out of them. Or better use soflam so your whole team can fire all rockets at the same time and vehicles have no purpose. They implement bad systems to bandaid other bad systems. Such bad fking design bro. Fire dice lead designer this game is in need of a lead dev with a dev diploma and years of dev experience not someone with only social science diploma and microsoft tech support licence

[chilly steppe]

If u get AGMs and 30mms the jets can be really really strong especially against ground vehicles

[next isle]

Yeah, I game on a Samsung smart fridge

[undone bone]

Hunter killer drone in the air

[quartz furnace]

yeah everything wrong with this game right now is IMO due to the terrible fucking maps

[edgy plank]

not make so u can call in a tank maybe?

[lethal junco]

The Su-57 in particular destroys the F-35 in dogfights

[gleaming dawn]

Party on, Girth

[radiant osprey]

DISABLE CALLING IN VEHICLES ON A GODDAMN ROOFTOP

[quartz furnace]

they need to add more cover to the maps, or shrink them somehow, maybe add underground tunnels everywhere

[old hedge]

iirc the lead designer is already leaving for another company because they gave him a better offer , even let him stayed until 2042 launch

[reef kestrel]

atleast w F-35 you can have your squad m8 on it. since it's can VTOL

[edgy plank]

or that

[hazy vector]

they can't, that was a large part of their marketing

[proud rivet]

when are they gonna nerf the night bird again?

[quartz furnace]

you should be able to destroy or at least partially destroy the rooftop objectives

[old hedge]

not even irish ability can save you from it

[reef kestrel]

just bomb that skycrapper

[gleaming dawn]

These Bolte rockets are hard to aim

[lyric lance]

The other company was Ubisoft btw

[quartz furnace]

also add a stairwell to fight over, do you can actually push up and gain ground vs. just an elevator

[arctic grove]

Hi.

[arctic grove]

itsssssss

[pulsar junco]

just watched a jet bounce off the fucking ground and keep flying wtf

[lethal junco]

That was probably me ngl

[arctic grove]

how it in real life works

[old hedge]

er no , instead they are going to fix the exploit of angel dropping his crates to kill ppl on the roof top to double down on the bad design and balance

[radiant osprey]

I thank him for his years of service of shitting on this title. This game needs back David Goldfarb the lead designer who was in charge during bad company 2 and battlefield 3

[lethal junco]

Am an engineer on a fighter jet, can confirm this is how it works

[quartz furnace]

the real problem is swedish people are too nice to make a battlefield game :)

[reef kestrel]

"Jet op" wait till you get farmed by a Heli, bolte etc..

Wired-Guided / Tow goes boom

[undone bone]

I mean one of my biggest complaints would be that the levolution of 2042 seems non-existent in terms of changing gameflow.

[hazy vector]

i could've sworn one of the battlefield 2 special forces maps had a skyscraper with a stairwell

[edgy plank]

imagine if u could bring down the whole flag building

[reef kestrel]

Special force had nightvision ❤️

[lyric lance]

He retired from game making iirc

[solar atlas]

we will always compare to BF4 and that skyscraper collapsing is still epic

[old hedge]

tbh idc what the company is lol the guy is a shit designer and his background and past experience proves he doesnt have what it takes to really design for fps games

[hazy vector]

night vision, grappling hooks, placeble ziplines. many more thinsg

[reef kestrel]

yea

[radiant osprey]

Ea and dice have no playtesters if their game comes out like this. Apparently we all are the playtesters we have to pay huge money to playtest for dice and ea so they can develop their game such a mess. Ruined my favorite game

[solar atlas]

I miss the class system man

[old hedge]

pray that is happening next ? idk he already got his pay and prolly a fat bonus for it , he's winning everything we're not, only defense we have is to refund and get back the money b4 we lost it

[steady tangle]

guys why do some people go back to using the sws when the dxr is clearly better?

[undone bone]

Yeah, which they easily could've done in hourglass but I kinda get not wanting to copy the exact same kinda levolution. But being innovative with more of them in 2042 would've made a huge impact on how the community views the map development imo.

And I'm still hoping they will add seasonal map changes that insert prayer here inserts more levolution in places.

[quartz furnace]

just give players exo suits that let them climb buildings

[patent path]

Guys, DICE ruined BF https://imgur.com/a/i5xiV13

[undone bone]

Maybe they wana tier 1 all snipers?

[mortal sable]

Bf2042 makes bf5 look like a masterpiece

[quartz furnace]

imagine walking up a sky scraper while shooting at people walking down the sky scraper because the exo suits feet let you stick to the side

[blissful latch]

Meh it's whatever. They hopped into the warzone market so. And with them wanting to create a universe in 2042 I don't expect anything anymore.

[steady tangle]

oh yea, the sws t1 skin actually looks sick

[quartz furnace]

bf5 is a great game right now tbh, nothing really wrong with it

[solar atlas]

also why is that boat still on the loading screen with zero water warfare in the game still

[reef kestrel]

gotta prep. my meme file if Vince make a comeback for BF or a failure.

[edgy plank]

just filled with hackers on pc

[indigo needle]

Because you're on that ship when you're not in a game

[blissful latch]

bf4 was more advanced than this

[edgy plank]

no shit

[undone bone]

If you go through the lores of the maps and the specialists (Which is how Dice stated they're developing the story of 2042) that ship is what they use for transport.

[radiant osprey]

If vincent awpella or whatever his name is becomes the next boss of battlefield let him work together with David Goldfarb as the lead game designer please. This man was in charge of the dev team when the best battlefields were released. Ask him please ea and dice

[blissful latch]

nah man they want to make money of skins

[reef kestrel]

Suddenly Russian form an alliance with Asian nations and it's become Pan-Asian Coalition.

[edgy plank]

yup

[novel raptor]

If any EA devs are watching, when does Faith Connors get added as a specialist?

[quartz furnace]

Vince should just scrap this game and make BF 2142 where everyone runs around like it's titanfall

[spark field]

I wish this game would stop putting me into matches that are about over

[quartz furnace]

put the game in tokyo, nyc, london, etc.

[next onyx]

So two things you guys might like to know

[patent path]

omg bf went futuristic? Not MY Battlefield! /s

[blissful latch]

it's just makes me sad to see a franchise fall that I grew up with....but I guess it's time to say goodbye xD

[white geyser]

BF 2142 was release in 2006

[dreamy panther]

If y’all ever play with HankDaTank48. Just know this player complains all game long

[next onyx]

You can transfer owner ship of enemy motion balls to you by simply throwing them back, this will make them yours and spot for you.

[solar atlas]

they could actually fix a few balancing issues by limiting call in to certain specialists and rpg/AA to certain specialists (engineer class)

[patent path]

I was joking

[next onyx]

And secondly. You can use mackays grappling hook on vehicles. More useful on choppers

[undone bone]

Wait you can toss those back? I just been shooting them

[quartz furnace]

OH SHIT I can stop shooting them now

[pure basin]

I use this for ez c5 kills

[novel raptor]

I feel like I've had him in one of my matches and he just hackusated everyone

[acoustic rose]

Yeah grapple, M5 switch and chute away

[edgy plank]

• rpg = no heli domination?

[undone bone]

Someone killed me with the grappling hook yesterday. I was flabbergasted lol

[next onyx]

Actually wondo and swindr that isnt bad

Do note you are limited by the hooks range

[ionic adder]

Not sure if that is a feature or a bug at this point.

[next onyx]

Soflam, don't.

Its intended

[novel raptor]

Okay 😦

[hazy vector]

doubt.jpeg

[acoustic rose]

Yeah Orbital tower cap would be ideal as they strafe in

[next onyx]

Due to how frags work

If you kill a guy about to throw it it will be made yours

[old hedge]

if any vehicles are close enough for the hook that is , at least u can stick some C5 for a guaranteed kill rather than trying to hit the rocket of disappointment

[next onyx]

Yeah exactly

[shy bronze]

[edgy plank]

at what lvl u unlock c4?

[quartz furnace]

I think there is too much passive "spotting" in this game, there needs to be a counter to the sensors

[arctic grove]

c5 unlock level 9?

[quartz furnace]

maybe a specialist that is invisible to it or something like that

[radiant osprey]

Thank god we got a santaclaus skin. I swear theyre just playing with us taking the piss

[old hedge]

u need to have some sort of spotting before u cross the road or just become sniper or vehicle free farm since they removed spotting

[acoustic rose]

I agree, it will give them an excuse to throw in an anti-spot specialist in the battle pass

[undone bone]

It's only usable in a limited-time portal mode.

[old hedge]

testing the waters before they start putting out skin battlepass or something

[quartz furnace]

I want my santa/cat girl/alfonso skin to be in the regular game, we are playing zoomer soldiers in 2042 this is on brand for them

[torn saddle]

my new main

[undone bone]

I mean I'd be down for it honestly.

[radiant osprey]

If you want the class system back ask the clowns to give each specialist class their own gadgets there are enough of them to divide. Not gonna work with 22 total weapons to make them class specific that could be something when newer weapons get added. This and we have a little of our old battlefield back where you feel special and only play to do your specific job

[patent path]

do people realize that you don't need to buy the battle pass to unlock new specialists and weapons?

[torn saddle]

just add a drone that can call in supply drops, sniper problem solved

[novel raptor]

Why are yall so mad about the santa, it's historically accurate. It's 2042 and Coca Cola made a santa android.

[candid cosmos]

have they enable xp on portal yet

[undone bone]

I feel like this'd be a really good compliment to the specialist system tbh

[quartz furnace]

I don't think classes are that important

[undone bone]

Even if weapons were still not class specific, gadgets being so would make for a better meta imo

[torn saddle]

classes were outdated, it's good that we've moved beyond them

[patent path]

The new BF2042 rush mode gives you full xp, I also try stodeh's terrible sniper mode and it gave me xp, dunno about the rest

[split osprey]

Yep specialists should be locked out of some gadgets

[quartz furnace]

I just run whatever class lets me heal myself and run the best gun in that class anyway

[tropic ether]

Any fixes for black screen on startup, cant find anything in direct communication

[novel raptor]

Game is legacy feature

[edgy plank]

so is scoreboard? lmao

[old hedge]

just go full CoD give us score streaks so we can call a missile on a sniper , aircraft , vehicle solves all the problem

[split osprey]

Who?

[torn saddle]

bf5 is that way

[quartz furnace]

scoreboard is just for stat whores, it tells you how many tickets are left

[pulsar junco]

im lvl 93 i deal with every just fine jets are nigh unkillable

[novel raptor]

CEO of EA

[edgy plank]

the game is

[split osprey]

Whos Andrew Wilson

[old hedge]

too bad is not in a modern bf like 2042

[undone bone]

Explain to me why a scoreboard is necessary for gameplay and I'll get over the fact y'all complain about it so much.

[radiant osprey]

I dont know why dice got a brainfart when they added a new specialist system you already had your classes. You also made specialist which were divided by classes. Assault, engineer, support and recon so why randomly get rid of the classes specific weapons and gadgets when you already had all the ingredients? BECAUSE 2 GADGETS AND 22 WEAPONS ARE GONNA MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DIVIDE CLASSES HUH DICE. THANKS FOR 4 YEARS ON 22 WEAPONS

[novel raptor]

Stop you're offending him

[split osprey]

Adds a layer of strategy and a good overview of the map to gauge the flow of it

[patent path]

EA gave them unlimited money and freedom to do whatever they want and they came up with this

[torn saddle]

when you haven't played battlefield before but you have opinions

[undone bone]

You can already see the map overview? And the state of which team is winning. Explain why individual score, in specific the ability to see other's individual score, has any impact on gameplay.

[solar atlas]

no but everyone needs a RPG since hovercrafts are so OP and can be spawned on buildings

[torpid shuttle]

So other update will come to next week right?

[tropic ether]

no hot patches?

[quartz furnace]

I like having a scoreboard so when we are on last objective and we only took out 30 of their tickets and I have 60 kills I can justify bitching out my team for not doing anything :)

[arctic grove]

c5 drone even better now muahahaha

:D

[split osprey]

Id just like career stats i dont need a scoreboard

[undone bone]

Imagine being upset about not having a feature that solely lets you be more toxic in a videogame

[edgy plank]

some ppl play to be better, compete against other players, they want to see how they are doing

[dreamy panther]

Still broken for me

[torn saddle]

the vehicle call in needs drastic reworking, should be cars and rangers only

[torpid shuttle]

NTW-50 is terrible.

[edgy plank]

for some people its why they play fps games @undone bone

[undone bone]

I mean don't get me wrong, I want a scoreboard for that reason. But it literally doesn't effect gameplay at all other than how you feel about yourself.

[split osprey]

I like seeing where i sit on my team so it pushes me to do better

[worthy inlet]

Lack of scoreboard is disappointing but it isn't the end of the world

[hazy vector]

have a scoreboard but no VOIP, toxisity partially solved if you also have a "hide chat" button

[worthy inlet]

The lack of proper squad joining and all chat is worse imo

[quartz furnace]

having to run a marathon to get into a firefight with 1 enemy then dieing to a heli is pretty bad

[undone bone]

Focus on doing things that get you on the notable achievements category thing at the end of the game.

[solar atlas]

deploy screen not being able to zoom in to select your spawn spot more accurately is way worse then no scoreboard

[split osprey]

Like if Im 15th on the team, i wanna know that so i can push myself to do better and rise up the ranks

[edgy plank]

other way around, how you feel about yourself effects your gameplay

[arctic grove]

hope they fix the description for Attachment soon its annoying af

[sleek salmon]

Did they fix the not being able to look left or right bug on PC yet?

[hazy vector]

or being able to see several people on the oposing teams have shit ping but not enough to trigger the server to kick them

[novel raptor]

#direct-communication

[split osprey]

Its just super weird in a competitive game where 2 ppl face each other that there isnt a scoreboard

[gleaming dawn]

You guys know you can change squads right? It took me awhile to realize that

[quartz furnace]

BF isn't competitive, it's like overwatch :)

[hazy vector]

overwatch is competive tho? doesn't it have a e-sports scene?

[worthy inlet]

Not as nicely as you could in previous games sadly

[split osprey]

Imagine watching an NFL game without a scoreboard

[novel raptor]

Yes OW is competitive

[quartz furnace]

it's all about skins and lore, and giving the developer money

[steel bluff]

how do you change squads

[worthy inlet]

Battlefield hasn't been competitive in years btw

[reef kestrel]

Lv.93 complaint about jet being unkillable.

Wow... such wow...

[gleaming dawn]

And pre-recorded catchphrases from the players

[novel raptor]

TeemFootress2 isnt competitive and it has a scoreboard so we can on the enemy team

[split osprey]

Its still 2 teams competing

[hazy vector]

the closest was probably early days where you had clan wars

[quartz furnace]

OW competitive is a joke, there are only 1.5 competitive games CS;GO and valorant (dogshit)

[undone bone]

By that definition let's also remove people from games that are doing bad that game as it effects their gameplay in the form how they view themselves.

You're confusing gameplay for personal experience. Gameplay mechanics are objective, your personal view of yourself is subjective.

[worthy inlet]

Remember the 5v5 and comp mode in BF1 and BFV

[sleek salmon]

TLDR

[acoustic rose]

2142 was the last I saw BF be truly competitive even then it was external 3rd party leagues and ladders

Look for the mouse icon fool

[quiet shell]

I like how the m5 recoiless is a better air anti launcher than the actual anti-air launcher

[undone bone]

But I can change my statement; not having a scoreboard doesn't objectively change gameplay at all.* And I don't believe anyone can provide anything that directly proves that statement wrong.

[sleek salmon]

Wait so now they're making us fix the game for them?!

[quartz furnace]

I'm kind of upset that I can't 3 tap any vehicle with the pp29, it should be the only gun I need

[lethal junco]

Target priority potentially?

[novel raptor]

uhhh. Seeing people dump on eachother about their KD was an integral part of Battlefield gameplay. What are you talking about? It's like half the reason I buy the games

[reef kestrel]

Scoreboard is a great feature to trash on your teammate and report hacker.

[edgy plank]

exactly

[stone granite]

Tru tru

[steel bluff]

R U fr crying this bad

[worthy inlet]

It's the same reasoning behind all chat

Was great to see salty people whining

[undone bone]

The excuse that you want to see people be toxic, and not being able to, ruins gameplay mechanics is bs. If that's half the reason you buy games then CoD will be just as fun as battlefield for you no matter what they do so long as there a scoreboard.

[quartz furnace]

I want all chat AND proximity voice chat

[reef kestrel]

All chat is a great feature to trash your enemy team and make them lose their temper.

It's part of Battlefield, like Rust cursing everyone.

[novel raptor]

lol

[sleek salmon]

Nah I love 2042 but this is kinda a slap in the face. "We messed up the game you payed for, here, fix it yourselves."

[vale sentinel]

does anyone get an app error everytime you press the "options" button on ps5?

[steel bluff]

stfu crybaby its an easy fix to a problem some people have

[acoustic rose]

You could argue that it depends on how the scoreboard is. Less emphasis on being ranked by K/D and more on score for playing the objectives and performing the correct actions like ammon and health resupply.

[quartz furnace]

I want to talk shit to motherfuckers while I teabag them

[novel raptor]

frfr

[reef kestrel]

I like to flex my kd against pleb who are acting hot.

[lethal junco]

If you see two tanks and one dude is 70/3 on the scoreboard while the other's some random 12/7 that picked a tank up off a death. You're able to somewhat prioritise. It's a reach at best but I suppose it does impact decision making ingame

[undone bone]

I mean I'd agree that's how the scoreboard should be for sure. But being able to see that wouldn't change the objective gameplay experience at all other than you being able to give yourself a pat on the back which you can already do at the end of the game if you get #1 in certain categories.

[reef kestrel]

Someone complained about me being a noob at tank I told him "I have 70 kills what about you?"

[quartz furnace]

didn't old BF games have a "hardcore" mode/servers?

[hazy vector]

a lot of them did yeah in some way or another. some called it hardcore officially. some had it as a community given name to a certain server config

[sleek salmon]

An easier fix would be developers not giving a 7 gig update that caused more problems than they fixed.

[edgy plank]

💀

[quartz furnace]

that needs to come back, that shit was great, no reason why a SVK headshot isn't a kill

[zenith oasis]

is it intended that my character mastery (Boris sentry gun) dont go further 18k/60k vs AI, im grinding against AI and since this morning im stuck at 18k ?

[thorn copper]

why all suprised?

[reef kestrel]

Mastery is kinda capped i think against AI

[celest oar]

yes, max mastery rank 12 for specialist against AI

[quartz furnace]

grinding against AI
bruh

[thorn copper]

was since bf3 or earlier already that way.. a year patching after release and they get final.. nothing new..

[zenith oasis]

thx guys

[next onyx]

Haha ac42 go brr

[reef kestrel]

Haha Bolte goes vroom vroom

[worthy inlet]

Grinding AI is good to unlock attachments on guns but that's about it

[undone bone]

I hate gifs (Sorry for the useless @ lol 💀 )

[edgy plank]

and its fun

[acoustic rose]

You're right but I play competitively even if it is more casual orientated. I think it stems from having played semi professionally in the early days of Counter Strike rather than toxicity

[arctic grove]

jong jow woodow he o wing chow

[edgy plank]

bing chiling 🥶

[arctic grove]

ben chilling

[undone bone]

Yeah I get that, and I also want the scoreboard to be added. I just disagree with the premise that not having it there so drastically affects gameplay that people can spend so much of their valuable time complaining about it.

[civic mason]

😬

[tropic veldt]

Dice should releases statistics on utilization of gadgets
M5 & AA —90%
Everything else 10%
But hey class system was bad right

[arctic grove]

[reef kestrel]

Class system is a legacy feature don't worry.

[edgy plank]

walking is, remove it please

[worthy inlet]

I only see health boxes and C4 ngl

Or the stim needle thing

[solar atlas]

specialists still tied to a class system would be an improvement

[novel raptor]

I hope the next update removes walking like it removed aiming

[reef kestrel]

I see more M5 Recoiless & AA than health boxes.

C5 is in the list too

[edgy plank]

truly next gen experience

[tropic veldt]

When’s the last time you saw a vehicle mine

[slender quartz]

Anyone know who the Tom Henderson dude is who has the inside news on what skins they're planning etc?

[arctic grove]

@reef kestrel another glorious day in China ey?

[desert elbow]

They did that in the beta and the 2nd most used gadget was the ammo crate but sure lol

[arctic grove]

guys, the new feature that allows you to look/turn left in game will be in season 1 battlepass! stay tuned !

[novel raptor]

Yeah hes basically a guy with inside news

[worthy inlet]

Mines

[edgy plank]

in a menu 8 days ago

[reef kestrel]

It's would be great!

@arctic grove

Yes, Admiral

[lethal junco]

Weren't they going to nerf the drone c5 strat? This shit's just as meme as ever

[acoustic rose]

To be fair there isn't much in terms of items/gadgets so that will play into how frequent something is used 😄

[tropic veldt]

Oh in the beta yes the beta was NOWHERE near as bad it was actually kinda balanced

[slender quartz]

Ok that's it? 😅
Not like ex-dev or anything?

[novel raptor]

Wait the beta ended?

[undone bone]

Just for you Wok-Pat

[tropic veldt]

I think after beta people realized AA is free vehicle kill why would I run a soflam instead of that

[edgy plank]

[novel raptor]

He's a games journalist thats it

[slender quartz]

Aight thanks

[hazy vector]

...like two months ago bro

[acoustic rose]

More like a future teller to me 😄

[tropic veldt]

There’s no questions flying helis is a joke right now snipers are at in every bush with an AA you cant fly out of spawn without being locked in. Helis in breakthrough last ON AVERAGE: about 40 seconds

[desert elbow]

It was less balanced in the beta

[arctic grove]

I want a update dedicated portal update to the editor and add the option to force people's language setting to chinese

[novel raptor]

But theres still bugs?

[undone bone]

Beta being over doesn't mean bugs aren't a thing mate

[edgy plank]

tbh the game is a legacy thing rn, just remove that

[tropic veldt]

Mate I played vehicles during beta Half of people didn’t even realize the AA missile existed till the last day

[novel raptor]

Wait so let me get this right... This is the release state? Like DICE released this at full price and we're in the full open release stage?

[hazy vector]

yes, well sort of. the game is officallly at version 0.3.0

[desert elbow]

That doesn't make it more balanced

[dreamy panther]

This game is so broken on PS5

[undone bone]

Correct

[lethal junco]

@tropic veldt I agree everyone has AA's but if you're dying that easily it's a skill issue

[novel raptor]

ok

[tropic veldt]

Well there was at least a better distribution of gadgets being used

[undone bone]

[edgy plank]

exactly

[quartz furnace]

I use the med pen on every build

[reef kestrel]

I use C5 on everybuild.

[tropic veldt]

For sure @lethal junco most of the time it is a skill issue but I mean even good pilots aren’t really doing much even silk said F the attack heli he’s doing strafes from cover in little bird

[quartz furnace]

I care more about sustain, it's useful for maintaining position on points

[lethal junco]

If you want a pretty op method of using the gunship you just need a good gunner and abuse the fact jets and helis have the same skybox limit

[novel raptor]

[reef kestrel]

[tropic veldt]

Little bird is still pretty good jets and attack helis more more of a laughable jokes in the game

[lethal junco]

I make the jets work pretty well personally although it's a lot weaker than what it could've been

[quartz furnace]

attack heli with 30mm cannon is good

[reef kestrel]

Attack Heli isn't a joke they are strong lol

[novel raptor]

Im gonna go theres not enough fighting or toxicity in this server im going back to reddit

[lethal junco]

The fact the bolte takes 3 AGM's to kill as does the tank is kind of a meme

[tropic veldt]

Jets work and they are stupid Easy to at least be useful... but they still suck

[acoustic rose]

Has the missile webbing / rubber banding on infantry been fixed?

[novel raptor]

no

[reef kestrel]

Jet is useless except at annoying heli and vehicle.

[tropic veldt]

Like jets are the most Boring they have ever been and just obnoxious they just fly around firing missiles and locked things till they crash

[lethal junco]

nah, that's straight up false. The jet's can obliterate vehicles on the ground and once you have a 30mm, you can pretty easily kill helis

[reef kestrel]

I miss the rocket pods jet

[quartz furnace]

people that are hating on this game are dogshit and need to get good

[pine roost]

I miss unguided bombs, lock on agms are just lame and have no anti infantry ability

[undone bone]

Trust me there is if you stick around lol

[novel raptor]

Yeah but its funny

[reef kestrel]

If you can aim the heli and the heli doesnt do a agressive manoeuver to avoid your 30mm bullet. 🙂

[quartz furnace]

1v1 me on LAN

[tropic veldt]

Infantry can eat 7 30mm rounds the size of their entire torso from the jet without dying

[undone bone]

They also just upped the slowmode time from 15s to 30s so chat's slower tonight.

[lethal junco]

It's not hard though to BnZ with a jet that has unlimited afterburner

[quartz furnace]

I kill people in 3 hits with 30mm, and it has a slow effect and stops healing actions

[lethal junco]

The only people that you cant kill are the ones that understand the skybox restrictions. You're fucked against them

[pine roost]

I also don’t know why the jets lose so much speed when turning, it’s like they don’t want you to turn at all

[tropic veldt]

Not on the jets you don’t

[acoustic rose]

hopefully they fix the "slow effect" proper shit getting rubber banded back into the damage area

[quartz furnace]

jets aren't for anti-infantry

[pine roost]

They designed it that way so noobs don’t get mad like they always do

[tropic veldt]

They are anti-fun is what they are

[reef kestrel]

imagine if the jet get bait by a heli who abuse the skybox.

[arctic grove]

Did they nerf the wildcat? The 57mm doesn’t 1 shot infantry to the body anymore. 40mm doesn’t 2 shot either

[pine roost]

It’s just part of the Rock Paper Scissors balance, it’s just that infantry were weak to it

[quartz furnace]

let's use the trillion dollar jet to shoot at ground soldiers

[reef kestrel]

Tired of noob, crying over stuff that aren't OP they are just bad that's.

[edgy plank]

solution: leave 1 jet each team norm
add new jet that you can spawn 10 in total, they are anti air only

[pine roost]

Well why don’t unguided missiles or bombs exist in this universe? We had jdams in bf4

[tropic veldt]

let’s remove these 7 30mm rounds from Billy’s ass o wait theres no more billy

[edgy plank]

basically have 2 jets anti air and anti ground and 10 anti air only

[lethal junco]

Just give me back an attack and a stealth jet

[arctic grove]

anyone having an afterdeath spinning camera error

[sullen inlet]

Has portal progression yet

[lone cove]

Sup all, I'm confused about how the spotting works? When I use the commrose/spot button it puts down the red marker but doesnt always highlight teh enemy player or count towards the INTEL ribbon? Any help would be appreciated.

[reef kestrel]

tbh you can't even pick 2 jets since peoples will usually pick heli.

Jet is pretty much a waste of spawn.

[quartz furnace]

the us government wanted to get rid of non-guided missiles and shit in jets since nam

[tropic veldt]

Also jets just feel like shit they fall out of the sky like bricks when slowing down

[arctic grove]

its screwing w me, please help

[pine roost]

Only being able to spawn 2 helis or 2 jets is annoying

[quartz furnace]

I mean the jets in this game are the f35 right? that plane is dogshit IRL so it's just accurate that it sucks in game

[remote linden]

It would be nice if more vehicles spawned. I go entire matches never getting one.

[pine roost]

But it’s a game..... it’s not meant to be 1:1 realistic

[quartz furnace]

look this game is perfectly accurate, zoomers in santa outfits flying jets that can't kill infantry, perfect realism

[tropic veldt]

The f35 can obliterate literally everything with its 30mm in one burst

[edgy plank]

each team can spawn in:
3 heli
2 jet
4 light jet (anti air only)
thats how it should be

[foggy halo]

If you want realism ENLIST NOW

[tropic veldt]

Although the main gun is the 25mm which can leave a tank lookin like Swiss cheese

[pine roost]

Bf1 planes are more accurate, more responsive and have better firepower than 2042 jets

[edgy plank]

lmao

[quartz furnace]

that's because they weren't made in china ;)

[lethal junco]

The F-35 can what sorry?

[tropic veldt]

Yes 25mm depleted uranium rounds go through tank roof armor like butter

[lethal junco]

Oh, you're talking about IRL

[quartz furnace]

parts made in china though, everything is made in china now, ww1 planes were made in america so they are better and more accurate, just like the 1911

[tropic veldt]

Obviously infantry can live with 7 30mm shell holes in their body in game

[reef kestrel]

We can't even play a F22 Raptor .

[lethal junco]

And you're thinking about the A-10's GAU-8 cannon

[quartz furnace]

the santa cape absorbs the 30mm rounds

[void mulch]

So much content for infantry except for the maps

[pine roost]

They are also missing so many basic settings and features in jets it’s actually sad, they were clearly a complete afterthought

[tropic veldt]

Literally the opposite there’s NO CONTENT except maps

[quartz furnace]

the maps are just open fields with different color palettes

[arctic grove]

i had weekly and daily challenge on my main screen under my player card and now they are there anymore

[reef kestrel]

need more variety of map it's always the same shit.

[tropic veldt]

I didn’t say the maps were great but it’s honestly the highlight considering the amount of content the rest of the game has

[sleek salmon]

2042 OPLOCK map would be sick

[void mulch]

LOCKER X METRO TYPE VIBE

[pine roost]

The concept art for the maps are so much better than what we have now

[quartz furnace]

these maps make sense if this was battlefield 1776 and we were lining up to fire muskets at each other

[fallen thorn]

locker was so bad xD

[storm sentinel]

BORIS Skin

[hazy vector]

locker and metro are both shit imo

[tropic veldt]

BFV had what 20 planes to the 2042’s 2 and the 150+ plane customization options vs 10

[edgy plank]

best skin 🥵🥵

[quartz furnace]

best maps beside grand bazaar

[pine roost]

Locker is great

[storm sentinel]

y Santa

[void mulch]

Bazaar was actually good and also the community map that had like a flood

[pine roost]

One map where I feel like I actually make a contribution when I do something. Unlike these maps where everything I do means absolutely nothing

[undone bone]

This is true

[reef kestrel]

Kaleidscope yeeh big building.
Hourglass yeeh it's Kaleidscope but with sandstorm.
Orbital yeeeh it's SpaceX
Breakaway snow goes brrrrr.
Discarded "SHIPS".
Manifest yeeet RU SPawn goes brrr.

[quartz furnace]

play break through

[tropic veldt]

Manifest is hot trash ... also the constant rain is obnoxious

[pine roost]

I’ve tried breakthrough, I’ve only ever gotten discarded, it’s literally the only map I’ve played of that mode. 45 hours in and I haven’t played manifest or orbital ONCE

[midnight niche]

Guys, will BF1 be included at one point in BF2042? Asking for a friend ;)

[reef kestrel]

getting farm by Ru Tank boi?

[undone bone]

I think manifest is the most fun infantry experience of 2042

[young panther]

one of the best maps

[tropic veldt]

Best map for camping losers

[quartz furnace]

I have gotten every map on breakthrough and in general I think the mode is better in every way

[reef kestrel]

In Breakthrough if you're Attack side you wont have a lot fun since I revealed my farming spot except if you have a competent players in Heli who focus on vehicle.

[tropic veldt]

Hur dur look at me sitting on the container waiting for enemies to pass

[quartz furnace]

I get 60+ kills in a full game and I definitely feel like I contribute, conquest is just chaos and rng

[undone bone]

I don't play breakthrough so I can't say nuffin on the subject

[reef kestrel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/609094314047438851/914551301378043944/unknown.png

• Manifest with Tank in Breakthrough.

[young panther]

i get 5 kills in conquest

[undone bone]

Maybe you should check on the containers then and shoot them.

[tropic veldt]

For infantry breakthrough is 10x more fun imo but for vehicles it’s kinda the other way around

[upbeat sand]

honestly the idea of a meta weapon is kinda stupid cause it just makes new players think "if i dont use this im going to be behind" and just thinking things like that not encouraging trying out new weapons and playstyles

[pine roost]

I try to play exclusively jets since I’ve always liked flying, but they just feel so incredibly sluggish

[quartz furnace]

I can get 40+ kills on conquest but it's just me spawning in on whatever the most contest point is and trying to get more than 1 kill before I die

[reef kestrel]

Defense will have more fun farming infantry in Breakthrough if it's about Manifest.

[young panther]

i dont really like breakthrough its to sweaty and enemies are everywhere

[quartz furnace]

svk is probably the best gun in the game right now

[reef kestrel]

I prefer breakthrough because it's what make a Battlefield.

[undone bone]

Actually made me angry when I was getting my DM7 tier 1 lol

[tropic veldt]

That’s what I like about it I’m constantly in a gun fights not running mindlessly to the next point

[quartz furnace]

svk + second pistol is my favorite loadout in most maps, unless I want to do a lot of close range shit, then I'll run ak

[ornate charm]

+1

[next onyx]

Svk is just dumb

[undone bone]

Me:lands 2 shots, missed 3rd
Enemy:Uses svk, lands their 2 shots: I'm ded

[reef kestrel]

SVK isn't op.

"Actually it's strong af."

[pine roost]

It’s like that sniper that two shots in bfV that everyone hates

[tropic veldt]

Svk needs a need there’s no question I abuse it myself

[ornate charm]

needs a need?

[quartz furnace]

the only thing making svk not op is that half of your shots get eaten by invisible walls/hit reg issues

[reef kestrel]

yes need a need.

[next onyx]

Yes

[young panther]

the lesson you learned from that is dont miss your 3rd shot

[undone bone]

I mean, too much of a nerf and there's no reason to use it over the DM7 which has more bullets per mag. But as such as that slightly lower damage than svk

[quartz furnace]

hit headshots and it's still 2 shots

[tropic veldt]

Needs a nerf make it 3 shot dmr with better handling and fire rate

[sleek salmon]

Best DMR is still the M44 with the Scope. I will not elaborate.

[reef kestrel]

lol

[quartz furnace]

if it was 3 shots no one would run svk, just make it 5 bullets

[undone bone]

So makes the DM7 useless then.

[exotic scroll]

This game turned out to be worst than BF5

[edgy plank]

yea... we know

[tropic veldt]

That’s why you make the handling and fire rate better

[quartz furnace]

svk only seems amazing because it starts with the HP rounds unlocked

[dreamy panther]

Thanks for pointing out the obvious

[undone bone]

You talking bout making the svk 3 shot but improving DM7 handing/fire rate?

[tropic veldt]

make svk 3 shot but give it ability to shoot faster and handle better

[reef kestrel]

smh this monke

[edgy plank]

dn

[pine roost]

And all this shuffling of management just seems like damage control to try and make us happier, but we won’t see any meaningful changes for months

[quartz furnace]

I think the game is already better

[tropic veldt]

No it does not wdf dm7 isn’t even a dmr it’s just a glorified semi auto AR

[pine roost]

PLUS, they seem to think that 2042 was battlefield heading in the right direction, which means no more classes, no more skill gap, this is what we get from now on

[undone bone]

Yeah, making the DM7 100% useless beyond unlocking the svk

[slow kraken]

[quartz furnace]

the svk is fine, the rifles need to be less dogshit, all of the guns that seem "broken" are only that way because most of the guns are still weak

[undone bone]

I agree the svk is fine, I just get upset cuz I run DM7 and will miss my 3rd shot lol

[tropic veldt]

Dm7 is just a glorified semi auto AR it’s not even a dmr

[quartz furnace]

like within a 100yds I should be able to melt svk users with any rifle, but right now you can't it's fucking stupid

[undone bone]

I think if you know anything about firearms irl and you reflect on that statement you'll see the issue with it.

[acoustic rose]

The generalised bloom buff was probably a bad thing, they should be tweaking on a gun by gun basis

[hazy vector]

wasn't the m95 in battlefield 2 a 1 hit kill to the head even through aircraft glass?

[tropic veldt]

Wanna see my guns I own a model 70 and a m1a civilian

[quartz furnace]

the "rifles" have more recoil than the marksman rifles

[tropic veldt]

Literally no games do DMRs correctly besides PUBG honestly

[undone bone]

I mean I'd love to see your guns as I quite like guns. But marksman rifles are literally just glorified, typically semi-auto, assault rifles with normally higher calibers.

[urban aspen]

FORTNITEFIELD 20-42 FPS

[quartz furnace]

yeah they should be slightly less accurate than bolt actions and semi auto but same damage basically

[urban aspen]

i need more pink unicorn skins pls

[torpid shuttle]

I don't need scoreboard.
Only I need is FAMILY...

[quartz furnace]

like you can get 300wm semi-autos, but they'll be like 1moa instead of .5moa

[tropic veldt]

Well the line is blurred between a semi auto AR platform firing 308 and a dmr style rifle firing the Same round

[quartz furnace]

so between say 200-400yds they should be the choice of gun, closer than that you should want a full auto rifle, farther should be the bolt action range

[undone bone]

I agree, but the general definition of a DMR is just;

"A designated marksman rifle (DMR) is a modern scoped high-precision rifle used by infantrymen in the designated marksman (DM) role"

[next onyx]

The svk is just grubby, two hit from a range leaves very little counter play

[tropic veldt]

Ya I’m more talking about DMRs as a role

[dense kraken]

🤔

[quartz furnace]

I don't think every gun should seem "fair" for it to be effective, in general I think ttk should be lower for all guns if this is actually supposed to be a war game

also I should be able to knock off people's limbs with guns and there should be a bleed effect and dismemberment from nades

[tropic veldt]

They are suppose to shine at ranges where other rifles aren’t as effective like I said almost no game does this right and it’s a shame

[undone bone]

If you gave me my DM7 and stuck an enemy 100m away and gave them any AR in the game I guarantee you I kill them first. It works very well as a role in the DMR category. So upping the svk making it (DM7) useless because 'it's just a glorified semi-auto AR' just doesn't seem like good balancing to me.

[pine roost]

You can’t have that, this game is meant to be kid friendly

[quartz furnace]

100yds you should be smoked by someone with an m4

[tropic veldt]

I mean why not just make them both DMRs why does it have to be only 1

[undone bone]

They are both DMRs. Svk just serves a role that gives far less room for error than the DM7

[urban aspen]

when clown skins coming

[sleek salmon]

I heard it was pre-order exclusive 🤣

[tropic veldt]

Great than I don’t see the issue with making SVK 3 shot and balance the rest of the gun to be in line

[brisk garnet]

are the weekly mission disabled? can't see them on my lobby

[quartz furnace]

my opinion is that rifles should be 1.5-2moa dmrs should be .75-1moa and snipers should be .25-.5 moa (in game it would seem to be bloom) so at 100 yards you are hitting 1-2in groups with a normal rifle 1in with a dmr and .5in with a sniper

[dusky blade]

Weekly missions are a legacy feature

[tropic veldt]

Unless the issue is YOU ABUSE IT

[trim surge]

is the Santa fortnite skin out yet

[undone bone]

Because making the svk 3 shots + buffing handling/precision leaves no where for the DM7 to fit in. As you'd need to buff it to serve as the role the svk currently does, or buff it to essentially be the exact same gun for stats purposes as the nerfed svk is.

[brisk garnet]

svk 2 body shot kill isn't that op, I'm killed 1 out of 20 times by that weapon at best

[tropic veldt]

That makes no sense that’s like saying because other ARs exist this AR has no place

[torpid shuttle]

What is Battlefield?
I know only Fornite.

[slow kraken]

Apparently they weren't suppose to release that lol. I think they have just seen the community backlash and are back pedalling on it though. I wouldn't say never though

[undone bone]

Bruh if they both serve the exact same purpose stat wise the only difference in using one or the other would be for looks. Which could be accomplished by getting rid of the Svk entirely and releasing DM7 skins.

[quartz furnace]

I want the santa skin

[tropic veldt]

There can be 2 DMRs one with higher range more punishable close range the other more versatile mid ranged

[quartz furnace]

I don't think dmrs need much tweaking until ARs are fixed in general

[tropic veldt]

Once again that’s a really dumb argument all the ARs fill the same role doesn’t make them all a cosmetic choice

[quartz furnace]

ARs being broken makes every other gun seem so much better than they would be if ARs worked properly

[acoustic rose]

Psssst... it's a game not real life 😄

[quartz furnace]

by ARs I mean the assault rifles more broadly

[cerulean wave]

im gonna slay you all in my santa suit

[tropic veldt]

I kinda think AK is broken in a PC players hands Idk why console players are struggling with it thing is a laser

[acoustic rose]

ho ho ho mother fuckers

[slow kraken]

No you wont

[onyx oar]

https://tenor.com/view/santa-with-pistol-santa-claus-no-witnesses-santa-kills-girl-gif-19371337

[dense kraken]

AK is funny

[quartz furnace]

AK is a mixed bag for me, at times I'll hit nutty shots but if I actually aim at someone on a ridge line it won't hit

[undone bone]

m5; versatility
Ak; higher damage & range, worse handling
Ac; burst, different playstyle & handling
Scar; Some dumb quirky style where you get a noob tube off the start

The AR's do not serve the exact same purpose. Neither do the DMR's with the current styling.

[tropic veldt]

Legit I use to play Sfar and the AK literally puts that gun to shame

[dense kraken]

I have been getting ever gun to tier 1 in order and there hasn’t been a hard gun yet lmao

[trim surge]

man i can't wait for the fortnite dance emotes

[undone bone]

Changing the svk to 3 shot directly goes against the sole purpose of using it.

[quartz furnace]

SMGs were all good

[reef kestrel]

they should add some prototype weapon related with 2142.

[dense kraken]

I’m on the AK rn which is fun

[toxic silo]

How many are still facing persistence errors?

[slow kraken]

Imagine Mackay doing the floss while saying "well well well, that was fun".....I could cringe

[undone bone]

The pp-29 badly needed the nerf it got to reduce engagement range with it tho lol

[trim surge]

[quartz furnace]

nah pp29 should have been buffed to 3 shot tanks

[dense kraken]

The M5A3 with close combat rounds and a shortened barrel is basically a fifth SMG

[acoustic rose]

I said the same but for a new map where they were starting to build the titans... people said it "didn't make sense" 😐

[undone bone]

By god @EA someone hire this man

[tropic veldt]

@undone bone
FIXED SVK: higher damage and range worse handling
DM7 more versatile bit less damage faster firing
WHERES THE PROBLEM

[torpid shuttle]

They should buff defib for 1 shot tank.

[dense kraken]

Fuck it, one shot tanks. Also give it a 1,000,000 fire rate, an infinite mag, and aimbot

[trim surge]

the voice line by itself made me die to cringe

[bitter tundra]

anyone having random crashes after yesterday?

[torpid shuttle]

Same. They fix the bug for adding new bugs.

[pine roost]

Specialists are here to stay, given what dice said yesterday

[undone bone]

So you're just gona up the fire rate of the DM7 as a result of the SVK nerf? Decreasing the ttk so people then complain that they're getting shreded by a gun that kills in 3 shots

[dense kraken]

Me flossing atop the dead bobies of my clones that I brutally slaughtered with no remorse saying “well well well, that was fun”

[quartz furnace]

I really hope that after the santa skin we get cat girl/waifu skins

[sleek salmon]

Is there a way to get defib kills outside of portal?

[trim surge]

santa and clown skins time baby

[bitter tundra]

Story of all new game releases recently..

[hazy vector]

some dude in a different discord:
"Proven by whom?
Define broken?
Runs on my system, I have fun playing it.
Sounds like it ain't broken to me"
idk what the guy is on but man he's dense

[slow kraken]

Fuck...imagine if they actually add that shit into BF

[undone bone]

I dunno, I feel like the current balancing/style of the svk is fine. Rewards users who consistently land their shots while leaving ample openings for enemies to push if they don't land shots with the significantly decreased magazine size of the svk

[dense kraken]

BF2042 is really just the start of the clone wars in Star Wars

[tropic veldt]

@undone bone mate I think your confused who the hell said I wanna up the fire rate of the DM7 I said up the fire rate of the SVK BECAUSE IT BECOMES A 3 SHOT read

[slow kraken]

lol

[quartz furnace]

the svk is a 3 shot... if you don't use HP rounds

[dense kraken]

Yeah this wouldn’t be a problem if you couldn’t basically immediately follow up a shot and kill the person before they can react to the first one

[tropic veldt]

Right the standard rounds put the gun much more in line with where it should be

[torpid shuttle]

DICE... please nerf this gun.. it's too op:
G57
MP28
M44
PBX-45
PP-29
MP9
K30
M5A3
AK-24
SFAR-M GL
AC-42
LCMG
PKP-BP
DM7
SVK
VCAR
SWS-10
DXR-1
NTW-50
MCS-880
GVT 45-70
12M Auto

[pine lily]

that list fax lol

[dense kraken]

You’ve made this joke before

[tropic veldt]

Don’t forget the bolte 30mm

[slow kraken]

Not a lot of guns on that list

[reef kestrel]

People who said it "didn't make sense" aren't a true battlefield player.

They are pretty new to battlefield lmao

[tender folio]

[undone bone]

Which just goes back to you want the DM7 being essentially useless. Because if you don't change it and just make the svk 3 shots with better stats than the DM7 there's no logical reason to use the DM7 in its current state. I don't see why you need to make 33% of the current gun pool for a category useless because you dislike the fact players that land their shots kill you faster than you want.

[tropic veldt]

Is that literally all the guns this game is... really put things into perspective how sad

[reef kestrel]

Imagine if they make a futuristic battlefield related with 2142.

People will cry over pretending to be a Veteran.

[quartz furnace]

I die to it so it's op
I don't think the svk is OP it holds 6 rounds and is a 2 shot kill, there are 64 players on the enemy team at best I can kill 3 people before I die with it, the mp28 is the same, just because you want to camp with the bolt action and play sniper all game off in the corner of the map and svk players are 2 tapping you doesn't mean the gun is broken

[torpid shuttle]

Some vehicle need some nerf. Here
MAV
M5C Bolte
MD540 Nightbird
EBAA Wildcat
LATV4 Recon
LCAA Hovercraft
MV-38 Condor
AH-64GX Apache Warchief
M1A5
F-35E Panther
T28
KA-520 Super Hokum
MI-240 Super Hind
SU-57 Felon

[acoustic rose]

I'd settle for a remaster providing they don't fuck it up!

[foggy halo]

🤔

[pine lily]

literally all my matches today have been people saying "hacker this one shot with sniper" "playstation hacker" like stfu and enjoy

[pine roost]

Call in system should only let you call in atvs and latvs. No tanks, no hovercrafts, just let it be for transport with no op weapons

[reef kestrel]

People will cry game too futuristic, doesnt make sense.

[tropic veldt]

@undone bone this is a really silly argument I’m kinda over it you balance the SVK so that both dm7 and SVK are viable options both suited for the role that’s it fineto

[warped pilot]

how's the game so far?

[nimble depot]

Only thing i wish that they reworked Mastery for instance getting kills should count towards operátor mastery

[quartz furnace]

basically every gun, if you hit your shots can down 3 enemies with a magazine at their intended distance, the pp29 was like 4-5 enemies before the nerf

[foggy halo]

stfu turn off crossplay and enjoy

[warped pilot]

i heard the all-out war is pretty disappointing, no?

[quartz furnace]

I think the ak with the drum mag might be 4-5 enemies but I haven't unlocked that yet

[dapper charm]

It’s only designed to gain microtransactions 👍

[reef kestrel]

Didn't meet any hacker yeet.

[arctic grove]

its a subjective matter

[warped pilot]

how about the portal?

[foggy halo]

It's because of the godtier anti-hacker system

[undone bone]

I just disagree with the premise as the role of the svk imo is in being a more high risk high reward DMR than the DM7, making it 3 shot takes away that identity from it. But can agree to disagree

[pine lily]

stfu I play how i wanna play noob player

[acoustic rose]

If you're playing the objective and stick to a set sector then it is okay. The people having issues are the ones blindly running across the whole map to circle cap flags only to lose them when they move on to the enxt

[foggy halo]

[quartz furnace]

if you make the svk a 3 shot you can at best kill 2 enemies before a reload

[fossil trench]

That’s no fun though

[reef kestrel]

Stfu I play how I want.

[pine lily]

[tropic veldt]

SVK with standard ammo isn’t making the dm7 useless is it? Cause that’s exactly what standard ammo does increase fire rate and lower to a 3 hit but sure we can disagree I just don’t think the SVK is balanced and the 2 shot is the big part

[quartz furnace]

basically you just want to get rid of HP ammo

[reef kestrel]

Oh shut up, SVK are balanced.

[sleek salmon]

It's like some of these people have never played conquest. You need to cap a point and defend it, otherwise its just gonna get claimed by one random dude sitting in a corner with a LMG

[tropic veldt]

Probably yes the HP ammo 2 shot body one shot headshot is what’s causing the problem

[torpid shuttle]

Same here.
It's only a few good thing compare with BF V.

My first meet cheater from BF V is the first week of BF V global release.

[quartz furnace]

hp ammo is 2 shot head still :)

[undone bone]

People don't use the svk for the standard ammo, they use it for 2 shot. I.e the identity/playstyle people go for it for. I find the SVK much less of an issue based off your reasoning than the NTW.

[tropic veldt]

No it’s not it’s a 1 shot to the head for the first 20 meters about

[reef kestrel]

I used SVK because of his 2 shots.

[quartz furnace]

yeah the ntw one shot shit is annoying as fuck

[arctic grove]

and some people complain about the maps being empty when they are nowhere near an objective, Like yeah no shit u wont find anyone if ur just gonna sit 5 miles away from an objective bruh

[torpid shuttle]

Is new anti-cheat affect the game performance?

[pine lily]

I used SVK because I can't aim

[tropic veldt]

After 20 meters tho it’s a 2 shot headshot I know cause I abuse the gun right now

[acoustic rose]

Yeah, it went downhill from BF4 onwards with that mentality. I think we must have seen an influx of COD players move over to the BF franchise at that point, hence the circle cap jerkfest

[reef kestrel]

it's 50.cal.

[undone bone]

It is, but same thing. High risk high reward playstyle. If you miss that 1st shot basically any gun can kill you if they see you. This is cuz pulling the bolt on the NTW is clanky/slow asf

[pine lily]

tHaTs NoT ReAlIsTiC

[quartz furnace]

I don't think it should be changed, it's just annoying when I get 180'd by someone I just put 15 ak shots into because only 3 register :)

[arctic grove]

it would be weird if a 50 cal didnt kill in one shot lol

[stiff lichen]

Whats the deal with fuckboi santa claus costume?

[reef kestrel]

smh, you guys never get shot by a 50.cal irl.

[undone bone]

Yeah that's fair, I feel for PC players.

[arctic grove]

The 50mm cannon on the wildcat doesn’t 1 shot tho. Thought that was funny

[tropic veldt]

Oh but the fact that it takes 8 jet 30mm rounds to kill a player isn’t weird at all then

[pastel tide]

Sets the tone of the game, brilliant

[pine lily]

too good at dodging them

[quartz furnace]

again all issues with gun balance right now are because rifles are broken, nothing is "too strong" there are just guns that are too weak

[stiff lichen]

Is santa going to spank my ass?

[pine lily]

Ask him in the mall next time you go

[arctic grove]

well, game balance i guess. u cant have a full auto cannon that one shots lol.

[tropic veldt]

🎅

[reef kestrel]

can we stop asking for many nerf.

Dice are listening to minority.

[pastel tide]

Soon we will run around in all types of silly costumes. Like in Fortnite. Very fitting in a Battlefield game.

[quartz furnace]

I wish there weren't any vehicles in the game, I think that would be a major improvement :)

[arctic grove]

The 50mm cycles like a tank’s cannon

[undone bone]

Except the santa skin is only usable in a limited time portal mode.

[arctic grove]

cant tell if ur baiting or not

[reef kestrel]

inb4, Dice nerfed this gun because he got farmed by deez nuts.

[undone bone]

cqc modes for 2042 when

[pastel tide]

That was because of the backlash they got, thank god for that... 100% it was intended for all modes

[quartz furnace]

I don't care for the vehicles in the game, most of the time my team ends up with dumb people in them and the other team has a sweat lord piloting something

[undone bone]

That's your assumption. There's no evidence that it was intended for regular gameplay.

[pastel tide]

People are really dumb otherwise...

[quartz furnace]

I want my fucking santa skin for all out war

[dense kraken]

What

[quartz furnace]

motherfuckers bitching about it got it taken away :(

[dense kraken]

Who’s sniping on the edge of the map lmao I don’t even use snipers or DMRs

[undone bone]

Lots of ppl actually lol

[dense kraken]

It’s not OP because I die to it it’s OP because before I can ever react to being body shot another has already hit me and killed me depending on what they’re using

[quartz furnace]

what gun are you using when that happens?

[pastel tide]

Most likely it was intended in all modes, they saw the reaction and changed it. They already started with silly costume. On the other hand, the game is already a mess so who cares. Something they need to do after losing 70% of the players in less then a month.

[spark field]

I snipe pretty much at the edge when I'm playing breakthrough on orbital as attackers because you know it's hard to do anything else.

[dense kraken]

It’s different from a one hit headshot on a sniper rifle that rewards a good shot and is already on a slow fire rate

[quartz furnace]

if you are standing still out of cover in BF you should die

[dense kraken]

Whatever gun I’m trying to get to tier 1 at the time

[spark field]

I'm trying to get the SWS I have 900 kills on player's so I'm so close

[dense kraken]

Who said I was standing still? You’re making a ton of assumptions for something I’ve given no details about other than “I can’t react to it even with a fast reaction time”

[quartz furnace]

if you are "getting hit twice" by the svk before you can react you are standing still

[undone bone]

This 70% of players stat is pretty sus ngl. This comes from the concurrent daily max being 70% of all time which if you look at even halo infinite:

[dense kraken]

I’ve gotten every SMG to tier one and the M5A3

[quartz furnace]

or you are going against someone who is a good shot because judging movement in this game isn't easy, if you are running you shouldn't be running in a straight line

[pastel tide]

Another halo comparison....

[spark field]

Fighting players right?

[echo sphinx]

Why is BF2042 so buggy for a $60 game?

[undone bone]

I'd use Vanguard but it's not on steam. And people are comparing all 3's launches together because they launched together. So tf are you on about?

[dense kraken]

“Judging movement in the game isn’t easy” you could use the gun for 30 minutes and know how to properly lead and adjust for bullet drop with it

[dense kraken]

Yeah, I’ve never killed bots, so yeah.

[quartz furnace]

so you move predictably across open fields and are complaining about getting hit by people (also you are assuming it's the same person landing both shots)

[spark field]

Good man same

[dense kraken]

You’re going out of your way to make the most assumptions possible

[pastel tide]

Let's see in a month or two. I think halo will be miles ahead of both those games.

[quartz furnace]

if it wasn't the svk it would be 2 body shots from 2 snipers using the sws or dxr, you need to move in ways that make you less predictable, I rarely die to svk users in game or snipers in general

[dense kraken]

Yeah, sniper rifles, which can’t have quick successive shots

I hardly die to sniper rifles, SVK is a different thing. You sound like you use the SVK.

[quartz furnace]

yeah I'm going to assume you are doing things wrong because dieing to people using snipers in this game is entirely avoidable and I haven't had an issue with it in the 70 hours that I've played

[dense kraken]

Also strafing is super predictable. Literally the most basic tactic ever and just as easy to lead a shot on

[spark field]

I was playing breakthrough kaleidoscope as attackers and I can't believe there was enemies on that damn building like 4 minutes in the game.

[slow kraken]

Yeah easily. Halo is actually good and is F2P

[dense kraken]

Bolte’s clear out A1 relatively quickly and allow it to be captured. I don’t use the Bolte since it’s so OP tho

[tired pelican]

dice rlly needs to stick some spare transports on the round start spawns if youre unlucky enough to not get a vehicle at spawn the first 5 minutes of the game just becomes a walking simulator

[lethal path]

Okay, the game kinda grow on me

[arctic grove]

tfw when ww1 rfiles have more bullet velocity than the sws 10 lol

[quartz furnace]

lmao

[undone bone]

Oh I do too. But that still doesn't take away from the fact that great games, using the same method of creating the 'lost x playerbase' stat also appear to loose the majority of players. Similarly to 2042; right after launch.

[spark field]

I only use it when I get pissed off 🤣

[warped girder]

Dropping 70% of the peak playerbase in the first month is COMMON for AAA games. I will also say that R6 Siege even had a steeper drop at launch in 2015. And it recovered.

[spark field]

The text chat got very toxic calling everyone a scrub when we was losing lol gotta love it

[dense kraken]

200 hours. Either way, pretty sure I’ve experienced enough of the game to know what I’m saying relative to other battlefields

[slow kraken]

Not in the first 2 weeks I don't think. Not for games with a huge well known name like BF, COD, Halo, FIFA etc

[arctic grove]

does that actually happen?

[undone bone]

Halo infinite stats rn;

[pastel tide]

We both know that halo will gain a lot of players in the future. But I'm not that sure about 2042. Halo is actually good and it's working. 2042 is missing ton of features from previous titles and the hole game gas become a meme at this point

[warped girder]

People using this stat to make articles, blogs or even tweets just want to bash the game. And also, BF2042 is faaaaar from dropping under the critical threshold where it's no longer possible to find games in a reasonable amount of time.

[lethal path]

Only signal player games

[quartz furnace]

I honestly think the mp28 is the most broken gun in the game, I'd take that over an svk

[slow kraken]

Yeah 24h peak does not show they have lost 70% of their player base on steam though

[pastel tide]

Remember that halo can be played for free on a lot of consoles. Xbox series X/s, gamepass etc

[dense kraken]

MP28 is just pistol sniper. Eliminates any need at all for the VCAR

[undone bone]

Bruh, that's what people are using for the 70% of their playerbase on steam stat though.

[quartz furnace]

vcar has more bullets

[dense kraken]

It’s essentially just a VCAR that doesn’t hog a primary slot .

[slow kraken]

BF2042 shows 24H peak as 30k players compared to their highest peak 105k which is 70%

[dense kraken]

I have a drum mag in my MP28 so….

[pastel tide]

I would say it's much more concerning that BF went from 100k to 20-30k on steam then halo going from 300k to 100k

[warped girder]

It would be even more concerning if it went from 10k to 3k, losing 70% is common but if you start high that's not much of a problem

[hazy vector]

people will just argue "but everyone obviously plays on origin/ea desktop"

[undone bone]

Yes. And halo's is similar in %. So I dunno how you can say you that using the same method for talking about it is irrelevant for halo or other games.

[quartz furnace]

I don't play on steam

[slow kraken]

Tbh Halo will be losing players because the shitty progression but clearly not as much as BF2042

[warped girder]

Trust me the numbers on Origin will be the same, and probably the same thing can be observed on PSN and Xbox

[quartz furnace]

I think a lot of people are playing on the $15 pass, I know I am, this shit will go on sale soon

[pastel tide]

You really think EA will support this game with so low playercount for a long time? For me personally this game should just die and make a new one.

[dense kraken]

Who cares? You can still find a game in AOW for now so it’s not much of a problem

[dense kraken]

Portal was already pretty dead a few days after release tho for some reason, despite many people saying it was the only reason they’d play (which I’m guilty of)

[warped girder]

And this is the reason why BFV live service was canned when the game was slowly recovering.

[hazy vector]

i guess because portal has no exp for custom game modes?

[dense kraken]

“Some reason”, as if I don’t know why

[ornate relic]

the player count is not low

[quartz furnace]

yeah they need to make 2142 remake except just make it titanfall with 128 players

[pastel tide]

Yeah, they fix the game just in time for the next game...

[hazy vector]

please no titanfall. it'd be titanfall. lets keep it a battlefield

[dense kraken]

Yeah I was gonna say that but there’s a timer between messages

[quartz furnace]

battlefield has basically just always been a CoD clone with more players and vehicles, why not make future battlefield a titanfall clone with more players and vehicles?

[undone bone]

NFS Heat, Battlefront 2, BFV, BF1 all these games have less concurrent peaks than 2042 and they're still supported for online play

[dense kraken]

What

[hazy vector]

wut? how can it be a cod clone if it's just people firing guns in war scenarios?

[pastel tide]

It's pretty low. I thought 100k wasn't anything special, 2042 was the most hyped game this year and now 30k are playing on steam.

[hazy vector]

that's like calling everything a clone of the first game with a car if it's a racing game

[dense kraken]

We just gonna ignore BF came out before COD1?

[ornate relic]

that's not low at all. There was an initial spike at release and numbers will fall until they stabilize. 30k is really high

[quartz furnace]

I was joking lol

[undone bone]

'LoL iS a DOTA cloNE!'

[dense kraken]

Dark Souls is a WoW clone

[silent plank]

How do vehicle spawns actually work?

[quartz furnace]

lol is a dota clone though dota came out a long time ago

[hazy vector]

smite has the same formula but is 3rd person with a locked FoV "hmm yes, totally different"

[pastel tide]

Yeah really high, lol

[dense kraken]

Overwatch is a TF2 clone. Oh wait, that’s true.

[indigo needle]

I wish I could have a clone

[slow kraken]

You do release BF came out before COD

[undone bone]

And dota came from a warcraft mod, so I submit; all mobas are warcraft clones

[dense kraken]

Though this year the game does feel a lot like CoD

[pastel tide]

It's a cheap CoD clone.

[quartz furnace]

every game is a pong clone, because they have pixels

[undone bone]

[hazy vector]

a lot of games we know and play today started out as mods. many of them as like unreal tournament of quake mods

[slow kraken]

BF1942 - Release September 2002
COD1 - Release October 2003

BF is almost 20 years old. I feel old

[dense kraken]

Yeah it feels like CoD when it was switching to futuristic warfare while afraid to fully get rid of the “boots on the ground gameplay”

[quartz furnace]

yeah but bfbc2, bf3, bf4 are all just trying to be CoD with more shit because CoD4 was so good

[hazy vector]

didn't that already have wallrunning a while before it?

[dense kraken]

Guys did you hear the announcement that they’re adding legacy features back, like looking left and right.

[slow kraken]

Nah COD just copied BF because they seen how successful 1942 was. Then when BF made a modern shooter, COD copied that as well

[dense kraken]

COD really just copied Medal of Honor. That’s literally how it came about

[quartz furnace]

bf also copied medal of honor

[hazy vector]

i mean, early CoD was mory a story game as a multiplayer one afaik

[dense kraken]

Yeah most WWII games did

[undone bone]

I mean everything that's fps 'copied' Doom

[slow kraken]

Doom Slayer agrees

[dense kraken]

COD actually had some devs from Medal of Honor working on it. I think the project was literally called “Medal of Honor Killer”… which it eventually succeeded in

[hazy vector]

you realise duke nukem came before doom? by like two years

[dense kraken]

Didn’t Medal of Honor try its hand at modern combat once and it ended up being god-awful?

[torpid shuttle]

Every game copy from PONG game.

[quartz furnace]

bf and cod are really just cs with ads

[hazy vector]

we need to go back further, to colecovison games

[slow kraken]

Pretty sure the first Duke Nukem game wasn't FPS

[dense kraken]

Every game is just copying caveman paintings

[hazy vector]

2142 had litteral ads in game as well xd

[undone bone]

I forgot duke nukem even existed till rn

[dense kraken]

Yeah CS doesn’t need ads when idiots will spend hundreds or even thousands on a stupid virtual knife skin

[slow kraken]

First FPS was Doom because the first Duke Nukem was not a FPS

[undone bone]

As someone that's done this, I can attest.

No. It was not worth it.

[slow kraken]

Oh yeah true

[hazy vector]

don't worry, everyone did untill duke nukem forever

[dense kraken]

I feel like BF2042 could’ve done that and kept first person knife animations, instead of monetizing overly long and dramatic takedowns which don’t work half the time

[slow kraken]

BF2042 is following trends. That doesn't work with their agenda

[hazy vector]

there's also wolvenstein as a FPS from 1992

[undone bone]

I like the idea of takedowns, I agree that they need to be not as buggy as the rest of the game tho lol

[dense kraken]

Problem is they take way too long and just aren’t a viable option for actually being sneaky or anything

[next onyx]

Wouldn't mind if they were quicker

[slow kraken]

Yeah as someone mentioned above. Wolfenstein 3D is the first FPS game

[foggy halo]

Takedowns are going to be a core part of battlefield
