battlefield-2042

[turbid lantern]

Imagine going in a pvp match with 3 T1 weapon badges ans get like 3 kills in a whole match

[dusky blade]

Just seperate PVP and PVE progression, done dusted easy

[olive lake]

Just split the two and both sides can be happy

[dapper river]

Its fine for cosmetic mastery tiers to be PVP only, makes them actually mean something. Like when you see one you go "hey, that guy farmed bots then farmed lobbies full of bad players. What a jackass. Imagine getting T1 on jets lmao"

[wise zodiac]

Player cards, icons, Mastery, etc etc, should be behind a PvP wall.

Attachments & basic skins should be unlocked in both.

[stiff pollen]

Why would I grind a quarter of a way through for some of these like Sundance or dozer in PVP when I can do so in coop and THEN do the hard part

[turbid lantern]

Fully agree

[olive lake]

Heavy heavy disagree.

[icy glacier]

I agree with you, perhaps i mis spoke. PvE is cool, Its a nice cold glass after being violated by MnK helicopters. I truly think it’s fine the way it is, best way is to slow the XP rate down based on the bots difficulty. Wtf do I know I’m just a fat alcoholic sailor who plays 2042

[hasty oyster]

agreed man its the most simple shit ever cods been like that for years

[dusky blade]

You don’t deserve to easily grind every attachment for every gun by sitting back and farming bots lmao

It becomes less progression and more a mind numbing shooting gallery

[wise zodiac]

Disagree.

Attachments don't mean shit.

[dusky blade]

At that point you might as well give all attachments and skins out to begin with, get rid of progression entirely

[dapper river]

mnk
uh it's actually harder to fly on keyboard and mouse lulmayo. I use the gamepad when I'm piloting, always.

[rigid oriole]

yeah in this game they dont lmao

[olive lake]

I appreciate your open mindset. I just wish people felt the same way. Not everybody should be forced to play a way they don't like. Gating content is just wrong.

[hasty oyster]

people should work/grind to unlock shit imo

[stiff pollen]

Dude CoD players are literally doing this in zombies but by bashing 35 zombies with their guns because the XP rate for weapons is actually better in zombies than in MP.

[turbid lantern]

But pve mode isn't that competitive that it should have different mastery, it's not like it a horde mode, where example you try the highest round, or similar to zombies, farming those bots isn't skill involved

[worthy inlet]

We also don't know if they will track bot and player kills differently as the API isn't open yet

[stiff pollen]

They said they aren’t tracking bot kills

[dusky blade]

Yeah it sucked how cod is mixing all types of progression and games together

[wise zodiac]

Elite skins? Mastery cards? Player cards? Icons? Thats locked to PvP.

Attachments don't mean shit, let that be a free unlock.

[stiff pollen]

Literally watched my favorite YouTuber just bash zombies for two episodes straight so he could level up his assault rifles

[dapper river]

Except those LCMG bots, fuck em. Mfs drill you in the head perfectly with their initial burst if you're unlucky enough. And that's only on beginner!

[dusky blade]

Just get rid of progression if you want that. Get rid of levels, give all skins out at the start, give all attachments at the start

[olive lake]

Still have to disagree since their selling point was full progression everywhere.

Nobody should be locked away from content they paid for for a specific playstyle.

[ripe chasm]

dude no lmao

[icy glacier]

Idk all I see is a PC mf shot me from across the map with a nightbird’s minigun like it’s a lazer beam all the time

[cedar sandal]

Portal doesn't count for it I think?

[stiff pollen]

They didn’t deliver on any selling points tbf

[stiff pollen]

Vanguard, not 2042

[icy glacier]

I’m definitely gating T1 and S016 sorry spent too long doing them

[turbid lantern]

It's a pvp shooter for love of god

[dusky blade]

It’s not a play style, it’s just skipping progression

[ripe chasm]

grinding t1 in pve is like getting piloted in mmos through raids change my mind

[stiff pollen]

They said the game was ahead of schedule, they said the game was the evolution of battlefield and a love letter to fans, they said they needed a month to squash bugs and polish the game. All lies. Don’t know why people even expect dice or EA to keep their promises

[turbid lantern]

Playstyle is like maybe you like to be more infantry or choppet pilot, not just play pve in battlefield

[cedar sandal]

The whole progression grind sucks. You shouldn't have to get tons and tons of kills to "prove" mastery in a weapon. All progression in this game indicates is that you've played a lot with a weapon/vehicle, not whether you're good in them.

Top tier mastery for an assault rifle should be earned by achieving a 10-1 KD with it or something.

[stiff pollen]

🤨

[dusky blade]

That’s a terrible idea, probably the worst I’ve ever heard in terms of progression

[turbid lantern]

Kills is fine

[icy glacier]

No need to re invent the wheel

[stiff pollen]

Lmfao get fucked if you fed with a gun for the first 100 hours

[worthy inlet]

That's kinda how the assignments in bfv worked with "get X kills in a round in a particular way" and those sucked

[stiff pollen]

Imagine your kid brother gets on and ruins your gun KD and now you gotta grind

[cedar sandal]

It could be if you get it 3 games in a row or whatever.

[dapper river]

Wish I could rebind weapon zoom on gamepad in aircraft pilot seat. "B" to zoom on alternate (BF3) controls for aircraft is abysmal.

[dusky blade]

If you grinded a gun for attachments and got a 0.3KD with it good luck reaching a 10 - 1 KD with that gun down the line lmfao

[turbid lantern]

[dusky blade]

You’d be playing 2042 for the next 5 years going for one camo

[cedar sandal]

That's because assignments dictated the way you play. "Kill X people close up", no DICE, please kindly go screw yourself. If I want to beam people across the map with my pistol, that's part of the game.
Weapons are for killing people. There shouldn't be specific assignments. You should just be good at killing people with weapons.

[turbid lantern]

Nahh it should be more fun, like "Jump 3 times then get triple kill"

[stiff pollen]

At least the assignments in this game kinda make sense for each spec and gun

Well, except for maybe Dozer, Irish, Sundance and the stupid “kill 50 people from 150 meters way with an AR” ones

[cedar sandal]

There's a bit of that in this game too. For example, jets don't give you progress for kills. If I want to use my jet to kill infantry, that should absolutely count.

Same with the M5 recoilless, which is far better against infantry than people give it credit for.

[stiff pollen]

Like, get 800 riot shield kills with dozer? Can they not track the amount of bullets you block with your shield? Feel like that’s a better metric of mastery

[dusky blade]

Challenges should never be earned from another players actions

[cedar sandal]

Yeah that one is dumb. Why should I use Dozer like a turtle? Why can't it just count good performance in a Dozer?

[stiff pollen]

Or Irish, get 3200 APS shoot downs? When only like 2 maps and one game mode really rewards it’s use? Like i love Irish to death, amazing spec, but the APS is situational AF

Or even better, Sundance, where ONLY the scatter nade part of the nade counts for it

[cedar sandal]

If I kill 200 people in a match with Dozer, and capture every objective, and win the game, I'm better at using Dozer than someone who spent 200 games being a deadweight on their team trying to get shield bashes.

Sundance anti armor grenade kills count too.

[worthy inlet]

So you get the mastery much faster

Bazinga you're better

[stiff pollen]

They do but they suck. They track helis and jets first before ground vehicles

[cedar sandal]

Not with Dozer. Why use shield when guns do fine?

[stiff pollen]

Plus, you don’t get assists on vehicles anymore so if you do all the damage to a vehicle but someone 500 meters launches a rocket at it and blows it up they take all the credit

[rigid oriole]

LOL

[cedar sandal]

Hell, the nicest thing about Dozer is that you can stand in the middle of the street reloading your M5 while a LATV whales on you with a 30mm cannon.

[worthy inlet]

Sounds like you don't feel the need to get that mastery then

[stiff pollen]

Legit when the strategy of a spec is literally to farm the first quarter of their mastery in coop and then do the rest in actual online, there’s something wrong

[worthy inlet]

It's one of those masteries that will be insanely hard to come by I'm assuming unless they unlock progression in pve totally

[cedar sandal]

I want the Dozer mastery skin. It looks nice. But it's not rewarded to you unless you play a very specific play style that requires you to purposefully handicap your character.

[worthy inlet]

That's everything though tbh

[stiff pollen]

In 200 hours I’ve been killed by dozers shield once, when I was doing my Caspar tier 1 grind

Yeah but vehicles and guns? Actually viable since you get like 25-60 kills a game with them. Dozers shield? Nah.

[cedar sandal]

Also it's incredibly easy to deal with Dozer shield. You just clip your masterkey into his shield and kill him in one shot.

[slow sluice]

sundance t1 tips

[stiff pollen]

Most specs you can complete their mastery within a few days, with all the recon ones being able to be done in a day each

[slow sluice]

??

[potent dragon]

Get gud

[worthy inlet]

Spam nades?

[cedar sandal]

Do the first 360 in coop and then spam grenades

[stiff pollen]

They nerfed Sundance so hard and not even in the right spot

[cedar sandal]

Play hazard zone and kill the new players who are still going into LATVs

[slow sluice]

its so annoying the anti armor suck ass

[stiff pollen]

I didn’t know ANYBODY who complained about her scatter nades. Everybody says she just has too much mobility with no counter play

[cedar sandal]

Anti armor is incredibly OP in Hazard Zone. You can sit on an ammo box and it refills you faster than you can throw them

[stiff pollen]

Anti armor is only good in HZ cause there’s no helis for it to track onto

[cedar sandal]

Basically every vehicle in 400m radius of an ammo box dies

[stiff pollen]

Heli 500 meters out? Yeah let’s go for that when the tank is 20 meters in front

[cedar sandal]

And yeah, no air vehicles in HZ so it doesn't bug out like in AOW

[slow sluice]

fr

[cedar sandal]

Would be pretty OP if the HZ ammo boxes were in AOW though.

[stiff pollen]

I know dice is on a mandatory 3 week vacation but damn man

[slow sluice]

hopefully they will come back ready to do some things

[stiff pollen]

Makes me laugh my ass off I get out a vehicle, can’t aim down sights, my FPS dips to below 60, and I pull out an anti armor nade only for it to track a jet

[cedar sandal]

They should fix the vehicle ADS bug

Happens to me every game where I get into a vehicle and the only remedy is to die, which is kind of a problem in HZ. There's like 20 threads on the forum about it but they haven't even acknowledged it.

[next onyx]

"Deflect 80000 overall bullets" that doesn't sound half as bad

[spiral folio]

no they should halt all bug fixes until they fix the revolver's reload

[next onyx]

Oh yeah the 5+1 on it

That makes no sense

[spiral folio]

basically it means you're putting an empty casing in the speedloader

[next onyx]

It would be cool if we could give it shotgun shells

[cedar sandal]

That seems like something that an intern can fix in an afternoon. There are weapons in the game that don't have the plus one.

[cedar sandal]

Like Modern Warfare snake eyes? lol that thing was OP for the longest time in Warzone

[spiral folio]

they should halt the whole company to fix it

[hasty oyster]

thats only on some revolvers and shits like salt pellets lmao

[spiral folio]

shot shells on even a .44 would be useful fooor like... a squirrel or maybe a large bird

[next onyx]

Thing is, On the m44 it would actually be balanced!

Cause that thing has a really low RPM

[cedar sandal]

Nobody would run anything else on it. The default shot on it sucks.

[spiral folio]

oh thought you meant the revolver

[stiff pollen]

LOL add snakeshot to the magnum

[hasty oyster]

snake shot is less effective then pocket sand honestly

[next onyx]

Unfortunately, The RPM as a whole with the basic round just sucks

[hasty oyster]

.410 shells sound cool but are quite ass irl

[spiral folio]

some of those pistol shot-shells are low power enough you can shoot a bird in front of a window and not break it

[next onyx]

Oh yeah I forgot we had the .410 jury in hardline

[hasty oyster]

like its good for hunting small animals but useless for people

[next onyx]

More impactful than the Kolibri at least

You're more likely to piss off a mouse with that

[spiral folio]

I literally never bought the kolibri on purpose

[hasty oyster]

kolibri is basically fancy airsoft gun honestly

still would like one irl tho

[spiral folio]

miniature guns are like something I think watchmakers would do as a personal challenge

[hasty oyster]

rolex micro gats

[next onyx]

More of a novelty yeah

Cool little gun

[hasty oyster]

i personally wanna get the tankgewehr

[spiral folio]

for any real purpose it's just a .50cal rifle with no recoil damping

a panzerbusche would be more unique power and trajectorywise

[hasty oyster]

nah cuz its cool as fuck and grandfather of all at weapons

[spiral folio]

1200m/s armor piercing rounds with virtually no drop at range

there's a number of tankgewehrs in private hands I think

[hasty oyster]

i was thinking of making my own or having a non government owned museum

[spiral folio]

they go for like 4-5k american apparently

[next onyx]

I'd love to own an Fg42

But it's way too much

[hasty oyster]

fairly affordable compaired to most pre hughs amendment machine guns

[hasty oyster]

the fallschirmjagergewehr 42

[spiral folio]

I saw a tankgewehr at the US ww1 museum in kansas city, they're pretty impressively chonky

[hasty oyster]

they pretty big i want one for home defense cuz funny

gotta put an anti gun household thing on the front of the property lmao

[next onyx]

I'd want to nab one just for the vanity, More specifically the second gen variant. But can't due to laws here, Though. I don't really need it.

[hasty oyster]

yea laws in australia suck for shit like this

[spiral folio]

hm i can't find how many privately owned tankgewehrs there are

[storm osprey]

i noticed enabling the new nvidia NIS helped my fps with battlefield 2042 but still isnt 60fps sadly. Im honestly salty i cannot play such a potential bf game even with all the bugs cause BF4 had issues for months and became there top game!

[spiral folio]

it's more than you'd think though

uff man one sold at auction for 11000

[hasty oyster]

probably honestly the tankgewehr would have a few couple

if i could i would open carry one and dress as ww1 german everywhere i go

i would have a fucked back and sore knees but its funny

[spiral folio]

technically you can open carry any legal rifle

[hasty oyster]

lets go

[spiral folio]

tactically speaking, a conceal carry is better because if some baddie is coming in, the first people he's going for are the obviously armed ones

[hasty oyster]

true but cc a c96

[spiral folio]

a single stack 9mm prone to jamming would be a great ccw, and the extra length for a slower draw, extra weight at the end for the ammo .. mm mm..

there's a reason self defense firearms are typically small

[next onyx]

I'm honestly not too concerned with how things work round here, The most legal I could get is probably an Arisaka? Though that's a lot of money.

[spiral folio]

where are you?

[next onyx]

Australia

[hasty oyster]

im not going for practical im going for style

[spiral folio]

oh ouch

[hasty oyster]

im also in Australia shit sucks

probably gonna move to texas when i can

[next onyx]

I'm not too concerned

[hasty oyster]

i just wanna move cuz i wanted to be a gun smith as a job

so i was gonna be in the army for my 20s and learn shit there then move to texas

[reef kestrel]

Ban guns

[spiral folio]

never seen anyone leave a range unhappy

I don't exactly have an arsenal or something just some practice ones for targets and a couple more practical things

[hasty oyster]

i would own a nade launcher if i could honestly

idk what model tho

[spiral folio]

9mm is cheap enough, even semi-exotic ammo gets expensive fast

like 5.7mm isn't much more powerful than 9mm but it's 3-4x the price

or like we have an antique mauser but it's a "argentine" mauser. So instead of like a dollar per round, it's like 3

don't use vehicles

there's this zany gun by kel-tec that uses P90 mags
50 rounds of 5.7mm, it'd cost you well over 60 dollars to load the mag

[hasty oyster]

p50 is fuckin weird my g

[spiral folio]

I'm sure it's a riot at the range, but it's super long, you could never holster it so it'd be relegated entirely to home def or range day

[hasty oyster]

i would love to own a classic slr with the short barrel and grip

[quartz furnace]

Oh wow I just found out about a new game "world war 3" looks like BF should have been

[spiral folio]

neat

[weak umbra]

How much will bf2042 and vanguard go on special for if it goes down enough might get one of em

[spiral folio]

they won't put a new game on special, maybe a free weekend or something

[quartz furnace]

BF was already $40

[spiral folio]

the current one isn't

[quartz furnace]

yes it is https://www.origin.com/usa/en-us/store/battlefield/battlefield-2042

this is why you never pre-order BF games they go on sale a month later lmao

[weak umbra]

I mean Christmas vanguard already went on special it will be on special for Christmas don’t know bout bf42

Doubt bf is gonna do a free weekend

[spark field]

When does the skin go live?

[prisma peak]

They better do it, already ded game

[weak umbra]

Seriously I don’t have it and don’t keep up with the news idk why I’m even here tbh I played bf5 ig

[prisma peak]

Lol same, I bought it played for one day and refunded it, way too boring.

[spiral folio]

i'd expect a free weekend sometime like january-feb

planes were pretty broken in 5 at least in 2042 they're too fast to just hang in the sky spamming guns all day

[arctic grove]

BWAHAHAHA

[weak umbra]

If it’s that Ded it will be on special

[arctic grove]

australias gun laws are fucked.

[spiral folio]

new releases have free weekends fairly early quite often

[weak umbra]

How

[arctic grove]

government tyranny

[spiral folio]

different societies, different rules

[weak umbra]

True so we have sco mo the coal fondler

[arctic grove]

noone but police and government and sports shooters can have guns, and hunting guns are very low magazine ammo count and have to be bolt action or a double barrel

[spiral folio]

and the gangs

[arctic grove]

meanwhile here in my home country I can get a Saiga-12 2020 edition for about 1.5k AUD

[weak umbra]

U talking bout eshays I’m embarrassed we have them

[spiral folio]

look up "guns seized in melbourne" occasionally, there's some neat ones they make in those back alley shops

some look like they're factory made even

[arctic grove]

nah bro, keeping it real search up Darra Adam Khel in pakistan, shit they make is BUSSIn

[spiral folio]

brazil's king of pipeguns by far

[arctic grove]

centuries of gunsmithing tradition, from the 1800's british muskets to AK's to the fucking james bond pen gun

[rigid oriole]

getting a lot of errors all the sudden

[spiral folio]

what sort of errors

[rigid oriole]

the shits before joining a game

[lilac elk]

I have to force myself to play this game. I’m sorry but like how is this fun? Compared to BFV 2042 looks like a ftp slapped together by an indie team

[spiral folio]

bot battles are still super fun I think

[lilac elk]

I bought the pre order golden edition too. BFV got way too much hate, it’s a beautiful but tragic game

[spiral folio]

just wailing on bots en masse whenever I want to blow off some steam

[lilac elk]

yeah lmao camping on the roof and leveling up my guns on whatever that forgettable map is

I bet a reason why they released in this shit state is to give the illusion of them supporting this game on years to come by drip feeding us content and patches we have all been begging for since launch. And that is so obviously clear on what this game needs

[spiral folio]

i'm glad they brought bots back at least, I'd have liked em in bf1 more though

I could play bf2 for hours with bot battles and sneaking around stealing their vehicles :v

[red crag]

So is that Pakistan? What other places use AUD and have loose gun legislation?

[arctic grove]

Pakistan yes, however we dont use AUD, I was just using it as an example, and gun registration is strict BUT you can get guns without being a fucking military guy

full autos are still banned

[spiral folio]

or like turkey "gun registration is expensive so it'll cost thousands"
ooor... find an ak47 for 100 bucks unofficially

[red crag]

I hear Pakistan has pretty loose laws regarding guns

[spiral folio]

enforcement probably moreso not the laws

[red crag]

It also has those regions with the crazy gunsmiths, right? Bordering Afghanistan?

[arctic grove]

but like, 90m people have unregistered guns. the laws are strict but not enforced often unless you kill someone with an unregistered gun you can keep it

[arctic grove]

yup. like 100km from kabul.

[weak umbra]

Why do u need a gun

Like I see no need unless it’s a war torn country or a place with a height crime rate and u need it to protect urself

[arctic grove]

true but they dont exactly come barging into your house/property looking for one

[arctic grove]

fun, anti-government tyranny tool, self defence if society collapses, hunting, a useful skill, an interesting sport, etc

[regal ravine]

Dice fix your dogshit game please. The loadouts for guns and vehicles keep getting reset, and connection timeouts still happen to this day.

[spark field]

You know what is fucking stupid? The fact you can get tossed in a game that's almost over and get your bonus for the day.

[weak umbra]

At least they are trying to fix it unlike vanguard

[regal ravine]

Who mentioned Vanguard?

[wheat spear]

is it just me or is armor kinda broken atm

[rigid oriole]

who asked?

[spiral folio]

takes 30+ minutes for police to arrive usually

[visual horizon]

It's just you.

[weak umbra]

Ok I’m saying there is no need for one 99.9999% of the time at least for me

[spiral folio]

yea you also don't need a fire extinguisher or a seatbelt most of the time

[rigid oriole]

its a murder dildo bro

[arctic grove]

vanguard is fairly non buggy.

[weak umbra]

Eh I’ve heard there r shit tons of bugs

[arctic grove]

trying out 64 conquest.

[arctic grove]

only bugs are camo and leveling up bugs.

[weak umbra]

No I’ve heard more a lot more go to the sub reddit ( i don’t use reddit often)

[spiral folio]

oh call of duty, yea i won't touch activision

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah same thing here

[weak umbra]

Activision << ea they took the title of worst gaming company of them

[spiral folio]

my brother plays battlefield at least

once upon a time, call of duty was literally a game about people that answered the call of duty, the stories were real again.. once

[arctic grove]

one of 10,000 kek

[jovial jay]

oh boi the carbon series camo might look ugly, but equipping them in Manifest when there's a storm can conceal you so well

[weak umbra]

Um ig that stopped at like mw2

[spiral folio]

I had the cod2 special edition, it had a dvd with it with interviews with ww2 vets and such

[weak umbra]

Mw2 was so unrealistic don’t even

[spiral folio]

oh yea once blizzard got their hooks into activision it went to hell

[copper fulcrum]

CoD used to have stories that I actually enjoyed

[weak umbra]

Mw2019 campaign was fire

[copper fulcrum]

Ehh

[spiral folio]

that pointe du hoc mission on 2 was literally word for word somebody's actual story

pretty sure a lot of the other missions were too

[copper fulcrum]

And then you got Vanguard's

Every playthrough I've seen, the player always hits the friendlies on the first missions because there's no real outfits, everyone's just wearing whatever makes them unique

[spiral folio]

yea bf5 was rotten with over-customization too

even in the oooool SNES days if you both picked the same fighter, you got the weird discoloration character.

Why is this hard today

my brother had a ghost in the shell game where everyone on YOUR team looked like the good guys. But everyone on the enemy team always looked like the badguys.

I like how just fucking all over this game is

it's absolutely like interns made it, this is probably what happens when you cut bottom-line

genuinely going to be shocked at what they put out at this point to save the brand

[worthy inlet]

Not gonna be home to play all week 😦

[neat totem]

I don't know anyone realistically who is going to look at this franchise and go "yeah this is totally what the last four games were"

[arctic grove]

Wowwie

You dare treat me like this

[neat totem]

this is straight gonna medal of honor this franchise and I'mma lol, go look at what happened to that gem

[median kindle]

Ever since games became 60 dollars they’ve not been worth 60 dollars

[neat totem]

dude this game is a month old and already on fire sales

nobody I know, even the well-off people will be buying this specific franchise again on first-month

that's the second fucking time they've burned people on that shit, it's absolutely unacceptable and it's them freaking the fuck out

look at 64 player modes, that's clearly not because there wasn't enough people to fill old-gen console games up.....

[median kindle]

People should stop preordering it then and shit

[neat totem]

I've participated in Testing with EA and they lie, they said several times during testing over a decade, including trips to their own facility

they literally will say every time during testing that something doesn't represent the final build, but it does every fucking time and it's depressing to see it in-real-life happen

redwood is beautiful so is their campus, but holy fucking shit their QA is abysmal and I've seen it first-hand

I'm out of NDA for my experiences but I've been there more than once

they just need to admit they gutted the talent from the studios or at best, the people there have no connection to actual gaming culture beyond fluff bazinga level attachment ala BBT

like, who the fuck in their right mind thought removing the scoreboard was a good idea? that's absolutely an upper-management "can't see the hackers" shit if I've ever seen it

[median kindle]

[arctic grove]

I miss anthem

[neat totem]

100% that shit was because the last game caused people to google "bfv hacking" and instantly turned the game off

if you saw someone 60-1 and had a slight hint of them hacking, you're getting off even if they aren't hacking (and a lot of people are/were in this game)

I've already personally seen people hack in here and since you can't do shit but record and @ ea on twitter, good luck catching them

[arctic grove]

I think my biggest peeve is people camping in the red zone with vehicles

[neat totem]

I'm venting because they basically took the engine, reskinned it to look worse, made the UI godawful, and then are already stating they've begun work on the next game

[pine roost]

Yeah but they have anti cheat now

[neat totem]

as if their current direction is a great trajectory

EAC is so painfully easy to bypass if you don't actually have people working alongside them.

[arctic grove]

Battlefield anticheat > war zone anticheat

[neat totem]

I mean anticheat is what it is, but at least in warzone I can fucking select someone and report them in-game

let me know when you can do that easily in 2042

[pine roost]

You can’t report in game?

I really hope they do actually make some significant changes to this game

Make it a launch worthy product first, then work on making it a basic battlefield game

[neat totem]

kinda hard to do that when they've already admitted to moving onto the next game

with zero direction change other than "hey let's outsource this and make it play like apex even more"

[arctic grove]

Ape sex is fun sometimes

[pine roost]

I don’t know why they even decided to take this route. Nobody asked for it, and it’s made battlefield seem like a generic shooter, when classes where what made it unique

[neat totem]

why not just call it battle for apex or some shit at this point

we said this in alpha, stop fucking making apex but I guess listening is hard

[pine roost]

I don’t know why they thought apex characters would even work in this

[neat totem]

it plays like apex, it feels like apex, it even looks like downgraded frostbite

[arctic grove]

Idk man apex feels a lot more smooth tbh

[neat totem]

which is ironically what apex looks like, a janky-ass frostbite copy with no physics

[pine roost]

Apex was new. Sure it is set in titanfall’s universe but it wasn’t part of a series. It was its own thing. Because of that people didn’t mind the legends, they worked well in that setting and make the game fun

[neat totem]

mostly because more shit is going on in the backend in 2042 due to physics and vehicles

[reef kestrel]

no connection to actual gaming culture.

YOOOOOOOOOo

[neat totem]

apex plays smoother because less is going on server-side, 100% why

[pine roost]

But battlefield is a well defined franchise. It has aspects that it needs to stick to in order to remain battlefield. In 2042 they’ve chucked everything they’ve worked to achieve out the window

[reef kestrel]

im kinda confused why they chose bf to make into a BR when they have apex.

[arctic grove]

Just don't play battlefield ez

[neat totem]

playing 2042, almost every single competent fps player I've played with (ESEA warriors, people who were ranked professionally, etc) and we go "did dice/EA even have qualified FPS players on the team at this point?"

[raw vale]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[neat totem]

whoever the lead weapon designer dude who was a "fps pro" is yikes, half the weapon balance is just blatantly broken

[pine roost]

I watch Enders a lot, and he makes it clear they obviously don’t know how to make an fps

[arctic grove]

The burst ar is pretty pog

[reef kestrel]

You mean the lead designer DRUNKEN ?

[neat totem]

I can paste kids down with the pkp like it's a nancy drew game, it's a joke really

NTW one-shot

[pine roost]

Every new vehicle is broken. And for some reason every one has a 30mm

[neat totem]

like that's a good idea, making a sniper essentially one-shot forcing people to use plate carriers in a fucking vehicle-based franchise

[raw vale]

they dont care about your feelings anymore, they already got your $60 lol. 1 year from now EA will stop content for this game then shelf BF2042 to focus on the next title that is going to be another broken hero shooter

[arctic grove]

I just hate the armor plates tbh

[reef kestrel]

they got our 60$ but they lose profit/gain 🙂

[neat totem]

armor plates are literally anti-battlefield and it's straight hilarious they put them in this time around

[reef kestrel]

Negative review / backlash = less revenue

[pine roost]

They’ll struggle to earn money off of microtransactions given the current player counts and interest

[neat totem]

it's absolutely against every concept battlefield stands for, which is team-based combat with vehicles

maybe a specialist, sure, but way to make the player just be selfish

[reef kestrel]

Teamplay is inexistant when you can play whatever u want now. THANK YOU SPECIALIST.

[arctic grove]

I call armor plate users warzone kids

[neat totem]

they almost always have shit kdr too

[pine roost]

What’s worse is that they server literally no purpose. They are selfish, break the game’s flow, and just seem like something they added cause they ran out of gadget ideas

[reef kestrel]

I use armor plate.

[neat totem]

they need the crutch or else without plates they lose or at best killtrade, because no gamesense

[reef kestrel]

And I'm Angel so it's doesnt take my gadget slot which is C5

[arctic grove]

Oop

[worthy inlet]

Always play angel

Free armour for everyone

[reef kestrel]

ye

[neat totem]

that shit is great, gonna love when those paid operators come out with bugs like that

[arctic grove]

You mean free armor for myself ez

[reef kestrel]

Angel can rez, drop ammo and armor. Dude is more useful

[neat totem]

let me know how you're going to mental gymnastics around them offering clearly better operators in a year

[pine roost]

I remember the times where as a medic I felt it was my JOB to heal my teammates. I would run rampant trying to revive everyone, provide smoke cover and heal. It was my purpose to keep them alive.

No an assault can equip a med kit and do my job instead..

Oh yeah, we were supposed to know about season 1 before launch, still nothing

[neat totem]

how about the fact this is my fourth game not playing and it's still auto-queueing me to afk whole matches

[arctic grove]

When is season 1 coming?

[neat totem]

it's not even trying to remove me because it wants people in the queue to stat pad their numbers and help games start

[worthy inlet]

There's no paid operators

The paid season pass is just skins

[neat totem]

we'll see my dude lol

[pine roost]

I dread to see what skins they’ll be adding

[worthy inlet]

The operators are free unlocks on them

I can't wait for what crazy skins will be next

[arctic grove]

Manic remove my slow mode pls and thanks

[pine roost]

Oskar Gabrielson skin

[worthy inlet]

No

[brisk hill]

10k players, this is getting worse and worse

[neat totem]

because what this game needs right now is santa skins

[worthy inlet]

Na it needs elf skins too

[neat totem]

I heard battlefield heroes had those, it turned out wonderful people love skins in dead unoptimized games

[arctic grove]

[neat totem]

how many did they sell to the four people playing? 3?

[reef kestrel]

Don't worry peoples will bring origin and console as excuse but doesnt justify there is a decline in playerbase.

[arctic grove]

Let's talk about halo infinite skins and how you can't use them as you like

[reef kestrel]

They are expensive af.

[undone bone]

I feel like operators that come out may have unlock conditions. Since it was advertised in the preorder editions that they would get the specialists as they release with the seasons. So either conditional unlocks or maybe a currency system?

[pine roost]

2042 only has 700 more steam players than bfv right now.

And bfv didn’t launch on steam until 2020, it launched in 2018!!

[reef kestrel]

Halo Infinite monetization is silly.

[reef kestrel]

Don't forget BFV for free with amazon prime.

[worthy inlet]

I thought it was a season pass unlock, but in the free section

[undone bone]

I don't plan on playing infinite multiplayer. The campaign is pretty good though, been playing that after work

[neat totem]

it's funny how everyone is just sitting on the skyscrapers because the map design is so shit and they all want to play infantry

[undone bone]

That also makes a lot of sense, idk for sure as I don't believe it was ever specified. My aforementioned statement was purely speculation.

[reef kestrel]

Halo Infinite ranked is a joke.

Onix doesnt feel like Global Elite or high ranking with good aim / game sense.

Campaign is top tier

[pine roost]

I want to play jets but they couldn’t even make them function, so many missing features

[worthy inlet]

I don't have a source either but I vaguely recall reading something like that

[undone bone]

I can't say nothin, I play pokemon unite ranked and for a mobile moba the ranked system is extraordinarily easy to obtain 'master' which is the highest rank.

[reef kestrel]

Kinda dissapointed with their ranking system i though i had to sweat but no i was wrong.

I literally outplay the onix guy

[worthy inlet]

Isn't Pokemon unite legitimately P2W?

[undone bone]

Arguably, with mobile release they were giving out 3 item max items (boosts a held item to lv 30) with launch events, so new players were basically able to get a fully upgraded kit for free.

[reef kestrel]

Yes it's p2w... a streamer maxed a pokemon attack to the max?

[worthy inlet]

Charlie ye

[undone bone]

Not p2w in the sense where if you purely throw money at it you'll win 100%/majority of encounters. Albiet build is very important.

[reef kestrel]

I remember last time a streamer spend 200$ to max a pokemon normal attack

and he was dealing more dmg and win a 1v2

[undone bone]

That's not how that works, pokemon skills aren't upgradeable. The only thing you can upgrade is held items

[worthy inlet]

Held items increase stats though

[hot yacht]

Helicopter Helicopter

[undone bone]

Held items boost either phys/sp attack + a small variety of other stats but you also don't need most held items max (lv 30). Most items are decent at lv 20 which is half of the resources of max upgrade.

[solemn spire]

your a special attack

[undone bone]

It was significantly more p2w before mobile release. As with mobile release they started running more events and gave peeps a lot of resources such as the 3 max item enhancers for new players.

From my understanding anyways, I've only played after mobile release as I don't own a switch

[undone bone]

you're*

[solemn spire]

see

[next onyx]

I got really confused with pokemon being pay to win

With unite i'm not surprised

Though with the main games, Hell no!

[undone bone]

It's because it's developed by Tencent

[reef kestrel]

Ah the famous CHINA TENCENT! Conglomerate

[undone bone]

They just got rights through The Pokemon Company. Tencent is a horrible developer imo

[sturdy flame]

does anyone know if there's easter eggs in bf2042?

[marble orchid]

Yeah, it has pay to win elements but they've made it easier for free to play players to match pay to win ones

[undone bone]

There's a couple ye

[neat totem]

lol kicked mid-match, disconnect from EA services

[glossy storm]

Funny thing, I unsubscribed from the 2042 subreddit for a week, seeing so many posts of bugs and complaints... Recently joined it again thinking that the hate must have died down a bit, and now every single post on my home page is from that subreddit and of the same kind as before.

[worthy inlet]

Try looking in discord.gg/bfee

[neat totem]

fine product indeed

[marble orchid]

And since most items max out at 20, there's no real advantage to further leveling them

[neat totem]

this game again, I will be amazed if they can salvage this IP

[sturdy flame]

thanks

[neat totem]

if they think releasing another title within 2 years is a good idea, please do it I'd love to see that failure play out like a theatre show

[sturdy flame]

is it possible that claymores might be in bf2042 in the future?

[neat totem]

"SINGLE PLAYER BATTLEFIELD EXPERIENCE" when they can't even get the base functions right

[marble orchid]

Possibly

[magic harness]

At this point just make the game a gamepass, ps plus game, atleast more people will come if it's free

[sturdy flame]

we need more equipment im getting tired using rocket launchers lol

[glossy storm]

It can be good if EA doesn't tell them to copy whatever's trending, but that's highly unlikely. They just wanna turn it into a BR and/or hero shooter at this point, so the true BF experience is dead...

[tame cobalt]

Good

[neat totem]

this game is so far from an actual battlefield, I genuinely think they should have just made this a side-product

in previous forms, it played more like apex and it was scary as fuck because you could tell who/where the motivations they were aiming/copying

you could slide fucking faster than running at one point, and people pointed it out

[tame cobalt]

Next bf built under the leadership of vince zampella, releasing on next gen only and the first FROSTBITE 4 game... Gonna be incredible

[sturdy flame]

well the concept they had back in 2020 was definitely a bf game

[neat totem]

sure thing but is the staff working under him qualified?

even the MAP DESIGN is bad......I get lack of assets due to tech restraints, but holy shit they placed everything so badly

[sturdy flame]

they had the whole class system ready with these soldiers

[neat totem]

zero cover, doo-dads out in areas that make no fucking sense, barren areas without even terrain breaks

it's just bad map design by incompetent teams, that or they were severely rushed (but I mean even shit like hourglass wouldn't take a team more than 6 months to do, it's LESS detailed than previous maps)

I'm not even going to link pictures of the operators next to old battlefield models........it's painful dude.

[sturdy flame]

lol

[neat totem]

before someone goes "you don't know shit", bro I've made maps before in SEVERAL engines including shit like Dayz, which was CANCEROUS to make maps on

[sturdy flame]

well the ai is rocking the old bf models they had planned

[neat totem]

I've worked with Unity, UE4, hammer, etc

[tame cobalt]

You gotta be shitting me if you think the devs at dice aren't incredibly talented. Mismanagement doesn't change how talented/competent these people are

[neat totem]

I think you keep assuming the good people are still there my dude

maybe the technicians on the engine, sure, but the gameplay? dude the game hasn't been farther from battlefield ever

[tame cobalt]

People come and people go, same as any studio.

[neat totem]

this plays like someone on the team played apex and said "make something like apex please, with tanks and marines"

[tame cobalt]

Franchises evolve too. Doesn't bother me.

[neat totem]

mackey is LITERALLY A PATHFINDER RIPOFF even the ANIMATIONS are similar, like COME ON.

they were on full-tilt coffee break making this IP

[glossy storm]

I do trust Vince Zampella and Marcus Lehto to improve this game.

[tame cobalt]

Thanks for the giving us this valuable inside info on the studio, didn't know you were so informed.

Got any other leaks?

[neat totem]

Vince is just going to make this play like apex

he's skilled but I don't think he was the right person to put in charge of this

[glossy storm]

I hope he aims for a balance.

[tame cobalt]

Dope

[neat totem]

you want the guy who killed medal of honor to work on battlefield

nevermind, he's just the apex guy

I thought he was involved in the old MOH, he's doing the new one though

[glossy storm]

He didn't kill it.

[neat totem]

yeah yeah, he's onboarded onto a 2020 project (no idea about it)

I still think his style of FPS is a bit off from what the battlefield franchise needed (it needs to slow down a bit and differentiate from warzone/etc)

[tame cobalt]

Zampella is extremely competent at what he does

[glossy storm]

Plus, he worked on all CoD titles until MW3, all of them being pretty good, honestly.

[neat totem]

bleeding into warzone's demographic isn't a good idea; make another IP or off-shoot title

[glossy storm]

Yeah, seeing the fast-paced animations in 2042 sorta triggers me.

[tame cobalt]

Lol

[reef kestrel]

alienated Battlefield for the trend fps is a nono. 👀

[neat totem]

2042 is EA freaking out and trying to catch warzone

[reef kestrel]

2042 is just EA on drugs

[neat totem]

when EA needs to realize A) 2042 isn't a free BR and B) the competition is killing itself, stop chasing it to the grave

[next onyx]

Its not surprising that ea wants to copy the most popular

[neat totem]

squad and HLL are picking up steam for a reason, and it's because people like those games

even squad is growing and it's more mismanaged than this game

[reef kestrel]

Thinking they will stonk by copying the trend.

Must be a rookie in the industry

Innovation IS THE KEY MA DOOD

[neat totem]

EA will after nobody buys the next game; I've had several friends say this is the last battlefield they buy on launch, and several other never even bought this one

[reef kestrel]

How many franchise has been destroyed by EA?

[neat totem]

too many, this one is painful though because it works and they keep changing shit nobody wants

[void wedge]

Why do you care so much Rinaun ?

[neat totem]

because I've been to EA HQ and tested before? I care about the product, I've played since 1942.

[reef kestrel]

bruh if you don't care about something EA will just do whatever they want.

It's like OH IT'S GREENLIT NO ONE COMPLAINED.

[neat totem]

yeah honestly again, I wouldn't be in here saying shit if I didn't think this game might be the end of this franchise

[reef kestrel]

How many time EA had trouble with the lawsuit because of the lootbox etc??

[neat totem]

or at least a strong strong leap from what it used to be; my friends see this as fortnitefield

[reef kestrel]

Dunno if someone manage to bring EA in the court for BF2042.

[neat totem]

^ I said this a month ago, if someone does it it might go through this time

[reef kestrel]

Like BF4 and Battlefront 2 had.

EA never learn after getting a lot of trouble in the court.

[neat totem]

this is really far off what was said during pre-orders

[glossy storm]

Chasing the trend is fine as long as it's not a mindless and entirely profit-based decision, but everyone knows EA...

[tame cobalt]

Lol

[glossy storm]

Yeah, I'm still surprised how there haven't been any lawsuits filed against them.

[reef kestrel]

Play stupid game win stupid price.

This is for EA.

[glossy storm]

Thought it was gonna be a BF4 situation.

[reef kestrel]

They prolly put a sort of ToS about it

[tame cobalt]

Couldn't care less about any of this shit, so long as we still get non-BR battlefield experiences that are well designed. Which we will.

Crying about the franchise evolving to cater to new expanding demographics is pretty pathetic imo.

[reef kestrel]

to counter any sort of lawsuit.

[tame cobalt]

MW2. Cod peaked with him on the team

[glossy storm]

Yeah, I meant all titles before MW3. Crappy phrasing I did.

[ripe chasm]

cod 4 pro mod in school times

[bronze sand]

how the hell do you kill someone withballistic shield? 😕

[glossy storm]

Rub it in on their face, make them jealous of your possession of the shield and kill them with jealousy.

[unique kraken]

fx-aa missile needs a reload nerf, or flare uptime needs a buff

[bronze sand]

This ballistic shield guy is just running through our team meleeing them 😕

[tame cobalt]

Kek

[low timber]

Flares need a buff? they are already the flare and jammer of bf4 combined.

[bronze sand]

Does rush mode have more fps? 😕

[low timber]

Less players = more FPS

[bronze sand]

How many players is rush mode?

[low timber]

16v16?

[bronze sand]

How do I check my rush weekly quests? 😕

[wild basin]

This game is dead?

[civic imp]

breakthrough is so bad in this game

[civic imp]

if they keep it the way it currently is then yeah

[rigid oriole]

64 breakthrough is much more tolerable

[north socket]

anyone playing in Asia rn?

[wild basin]

I was fooled, I who thought I would find an old-fashioned battlefield with their trailer

[mint heron]

Hi everyone I have a gaming laptop which passed minimum requirements but not recommended, how well will the game run with just 8gb RAM does anyone know? (I don’t mind playing on lowest graphics settings)

[quick linden]

like 30 fps

[mint heron]

I suppose that will do, time to buy 🤘

[bronze sand]

How do I check the weekly mission progress for rush? 😕

[storm jolt]

game is ram and cpu intensive in the 128 player mode. you can probably run conquest small with 64 fine, or the portal modes or rush

[mint heron]

My CPU and video card pass by quite a bit

[civic imp]

i tried it on that siege of shanghai rip off. and it was horrible

[glossy storm]

So with 64 player matches, are the map sizes also smaller?

[low timber]

Yes

But still as bad, some maps are way too open and the map borders are horribly placed.

[haughty plume]

When is season 1 coming out?

[low timber]

2022

[bronze sand]

Is the rush weekly missions still live? 😕

[low timber]

What does the countdown say in the main menu?

[haughty plume]

Hopefully is the 1st battlepass gone be just realistic gear instead of dumb cosmetics

[rigid oriole]

that map is just poopoo

like all of them are poopoo

[civic imp]

the defenders get like the best cover in the wordl

and they had tank on top of a bldg like 1,000m away in the distance

[low timber]

On manifest 128p breakthrough the defenders can shoot from the last sector to the first sector, seen a tank taking potshots from there once, and they were being repaired by two players.

[hearty fox]

have the devs fix the fps problems?

[hot yacht]

Nope. Not too much fps problem tho.

[civic imp]

the servers still feel like shiete

[arctic grove]

you cant expect same as fps as a 64 server on a 128 player match

[hearty fox]

true

[zealous horizon]

what the fuck games did these people used to play if they think old battlefield games had "teamplay"???😂

such a dumb criticism i keep seeing

[hearty fox]

its just that at the start of the round i get like 90 fps then drops at 40-60 fps at mid to endgame

[arctic grove]

from chats I see, the demographics of this server is mostly around 14 year olds

OG fans rarely play the new game

[zealous horizon]

i'm 24 and i've played bf since bc2 and i think 2042 is the first good battlefield since 4

[arctic grove]

I play BF4 myself

[zealous horizon]

but if i played 4 now i would find it horrible and clunky and dated

[arctic grove]

2042 is not in a good state. I will wait at least 2 years after launch date

[hearty fox]

true, too many 14 year old ive encountered

[zealous horizon]

its had 3 big patches the game is pretty clean now, just needs some more content

[toxic stratus]

People have their own opinion about the game.

[arctic grove]

anyone who says I love 2042 and enjoy it, is either lying or is a kid who just came from arcade shooters like warzone

[hearty fox]

warzone is awful

[hot yacht]

That's abit far.

I am having fun in 2042.

It's by far not polished. Still fun tho.

[arctic grove]

yes but the game is in awful state, it's a fact not opinion

my biggest gripe about the game is the map design and cartoonish characters/atmosphere

[arctic grove]

everyone hyped the new map and now it is a buggy mess now, especially on consoles lol

and still no fov slider on new consoles, big L

[toxic stratus]

My opinion is I’m having fun that’s all that matters

[arctic grove]

there should be no cosmetics in a military game. it's not a military game if a bunch of clown skins are slide canceling bunny hoping all around the map

literally who tf in a real battle, slide cancels or hold a heavy weapon upwards

[arctic grove]

I don't mind cosmetics, even pompous ones such as in BFV, but having german grandmas run around is too much

[arctic grove]

realism in Battlefield has never been simulator-level, the Frostbite engine gives realism but gunplay and everything else has generally been arcade-ish minus ballistics

[toxic stratus]

Don’t like it, don’t play it

[arctic grove]

@toxic stratus did you even read what I said earlier

[toxic stratus]

Nope, didn’t know I had to

[arctic grove]

realism as much as possible is appreciated

[hot yacht]

For you and alot of people, not everyone.

[arctic grove]

what about anime guns with pink skin like that one in r6 ?

[arctic grove]

yeah total BS on that one, like I said I'm unhappy with the atmosphere and cartoonish vibe I get

I mean I'm a 10+ years player of TF2, but that's apples to oranges and Valve never marketed it as 'ALL OUT WARFARE'

it's ok to have fun in 2042, but you will never have fun if you have played older battlefields like BF3 or BF4

[hot yacht]

I played 4.

[arctic grove]

game still doesnt have many basic features like scoreboard and team switch, ongoing servers

[hot yacht]

4 doesn't have The sheer scale of 2042. 4 is alot more polished tho than the current state 2042.

[indigo needle]

I'm not having more fun because a list is telling me a bunch of meaningless numbers.

[cursive hinge]

I just replayed the campaign lol

[arctic grove]

oh yeah, that experience is also quite frustrating, not biggest con but up there

128 player is a bad thing. runs bad on most PCs

[arctic grove]

the new or old scoreboard?

[indigo needle]

Anyone of them, I couldn't care less about that feature

[arctic grove]

runs with no issues on PS5, but the map design is terrible and makes it feel like Marathonfield 2042

[arctic grove]

you dont but many other players care

[hot yacht]

I actually like 2042 in a way It's a slap in the face to people who config their pc wrong and blindly listens to mainstream tech tubers.

[arctic grove]

yep, empty maps with no cover

[rigid oriole]

very much not meaningless

[indigo needle]

Sure but your argument was that no one will have fun in 2042 if they played the previous titles.

[arctic grove]

most of Dice vets left the company right after BF1 and formed Embark Studios

also I think rendezook is not possible in this game because of new physics

[pallid citrus]

fun fact, when the day ends in a Y, everyone complains about battlefield 2042 in this discord channel

[marble orchid]

It is and has been done many times

[arctic grove]

end of battlefield franchise

[arctic grove]

young blood can't fill these shoes of devs with 20+ years of experience even if they're good, also multiple studios were hired to finish 2042 due to home-office and the result is evident

[bronze sand]

This game is great! But I got more hours in Halo 😕

[indigo needle]

The problem isn't the devs, it's the industry.

[marble orchid]

Wouldn't be surprised if people specifically avoid the channel because of that

[arctic grove]

yeah, the AAA culture has become very predictable and uses paying customers as QA testers

[indigo needle]

Also demand is not realistic.

[arctic grove]

no you didnt get my point. rendezook in half a circle is not possible

[storm jolt]

it used to be aaa games were the peak and revolutionary in the industry but past few years they have all been disappointments and questionable

[arctic grove]

I heard next bf is going to be a hero shooter. god damit

[marble orchid]

Rendezook is very much possible though

[zenith bluff]

anyone got photos of twitch drops skins?

[arctic grove]

listen kid, I have seen 2042 rendezooks but they are not on the same quality of older bfs

[indigo needle]

I don't know what a hero shooter means to be honest. If the next BF isn't looking like a game for me, I will just skip it.

[toxic stratus]

Imagine calling someone a kid lmao

[pallid citrus]

all great comments start with "listen kid"

[rigid oriole]

ok kid

[marble orchid]

Rendezooks look fine, you're just trying to find something to complain about

[toxic stratus]

Skid

[rigid oriole]

kiddo

[toxic stratus]

Far from it

[arctic grove]

no I saw a rendezook clip on portal caspian border, he could destroy the jet but when he ejected, he just stopped in place. in older bfs, you could move along the jet and get back into it

[dusky blade]

Yeah, even more hero focused than 2042

Expect overwatch style specialists

[arctic grove]

you know why they are doing this. 1- money, 2- to fit the new younger audience

[dusky blade]

Of course, EA saw cod and went “hey that looks nice”

[pallid citrus]

you mean 'the kids' right?

[arctic grove]

they dont care about old fans, they care about young players to trigger them to steal their mom credit card

[arctic grove]

yeah some EA exec got jealous of Activision execs' bonuses

[dusky blade]

Have you noticed the main menu UI is the exact same as MW19? The Weapon customisation screen, starting menu, etc is the same

Then the movement is more cod like, allowing for sweatier plays which aren’t battlefield like

The list goes on

[arctic grove]

"kid" is a bit aggressive, young audience is more respectable

[dusky blade]

It’s just people in the 7 - 18 age range

[arctic grove]

they are very jealous of cash grabbing games like fortnite

[dusky blade]

Little do they know, the battlefield community isn’t as stupid as cods

[storm jolt]

i feel like 2042 plays a lot slower than cod and even bf4, i like it

[arctic grove]

bf was always slow, you dont know the 3200 ticket servers

especially on golmud railway

[storm jolt]

not match length, but just general feel and gunplay

[arctic grove]

I hope they return bf4 maps so bf4 can easily rest in peace

then I'm down for 2042 so bad

[storm jolt]

i want more urban like bf3 aftermath, my favorite expansion

[arctic grove]

just bring all bf3/bf4 maps and fix all bugs,features then 2042 is a great game, gonna take at least 2 years

[hot yacht]

Why don't u just keep playing bf4 lol

[arctic grove]

I do lol

[dusky blade]

I really dislike the BF4 maps. They’re all weirdly designed

[arctic grove]

from their past records, this is obvious

[dusky blade]

Well BF1 was great on launch, BFV was good but had controversy

[hot yacht]

BFV is soo under rated rn

[dusky blade]

Not really

[storm jolt]

every dice game is release then good in 2 years

[arctic grove]

bf4 isnt dead yet. you're just too young to remember what happened in the past

[hot yacht]

Best gunplay. Best graphics.

[dusky blade]

BF4 was dead on launch, all og players remember

[storm jolt]

bf4 was unplayable at launch for a while

[empty portal]

oh yes

[arctic grove]

after it got fixed now it's good

[dusky blade]

Exactly lol

You actually couldn’t play for months

[calm plaza]

Love how this is turning into the Old VS Young people 😛

[arctic grove]

I dont buy unfinished games like you 🤢

[hot yacht]

I started my battlefield on 4 the launch was just as bad as 2042.

[arctic grove]

this is battlefield, it is not like cod which dies after 2 years. you're definitely a cod kid

[storm jolt]

2042 was one of the smoothest dice launches for me, i could play it and run fine from the beginning

[hot yacht]

Idk wtf yall remember

[dusky blade]

BF4 was so much worse

[stoic glen]

no update today ?

[calm plaza]

Every BF have had their share of problems. Theres no denying that. Cant blame EA/DICE for trying to move forward with their formula.

[arctic grove]

because I played the game and didnt like. if you enjoy the game then play it and dont defend it

[storm jolt]

is it copium if thats my experience

[hot yacht]

I had a 4690k clocked to 4.5ghz all core overclocked to sht 980 and when the tower falls I get 30 fps.

[storm jolt]

i dunno how your game ran but mine has always been fine

[hot yacht]

I was talking about BF4

[storm jolt]

and how much time do you have in 2042

[stoic glen]

aye this week no update ??

[storm jolt]

holiday break

[hot yacht]

Kryo he is just another hater spamming copium lol

[stoic glen]

what bout weekly mission ?

[hot yacht]

Brings nothing new here.

[bronze sand]

I bought gold edition, not sure how I feel about it 😕

[storm jolt]

@bold trout how many dice launches have you said tha tabout

[stoic glen]

wtf bro ur name tag

[storm jolt]

you must be new then, this happens every game

[stoic glen]

thanks

[storm jolt]

hardline ported into portal would be nice

[stoic glen]

yea

[silk surge]

Is it just me or is Manifest extremely dark in terms of lighting? I get killed by shadow people a lot.

[storm jolt]

specialists are a nice addition, cept the aa spam
open maps can be fixed with updates, like i said earlier i was hoping for more cqc urban maps
call in system is to help with the big maps

[silk surge]

Or maybe it's just HDR making it so?

[storm jolt]

manifest meant to be a darker map, i like running the flashlight

[silk surge]

I'm a bit skeptical of flashlight though, it makes you very detectable.

[storm jolt]

it can be toggled

[frozen wagon]

Specialists wouldn't be sad bad if you could only see your team as specialists. Everyone else would have NPC skins dependent on the weapon they're holding. It would look more similar to the older battlefield feeling that way

squad, not team**

[jovial jay]

armor piercing or high power for SWS ? 🤔

[civic imp]

all they had to do was make firestorm F2p and they would of had something to somewhat compete with call of duty war zoomer

[storm jolt]

2042 was supposed to be a new firestorm but dice said nvm half a year ago and made this

cod has always had better stories than battlefield, yes

[dusky blade]

Which sucks because MW19 was utter garbage

[jolly sail]

how is there no match/all chat even?

[dusky blade]

It hurts peoples feelings

[storm jolt]

cus it was toxic

[jolly sail]

????

[storm jolt]

even team chat is just toxic

[dusky blade]

People typed mean things and people got their feelings hurt

That’s 100% why it’s not in the game

[pine roost]

I thought they’d have added voice chat by now. They made it seem like there were some technical problems with it that need to be addressed, but it’s been almost a month now

[dusky blade]

Because it’s on purpose

[storm jolt]

nobody used voip in past battlefields

[pine roost]

I did

[dusky blade]

I did too

[jolly sail]

devs treat this game like someone is going to kill themself if they go 0/10 in a game and someone in chat says noob or what? hello its a fucking game wake up xd

[pine roost]

I had a teammate who was constantly on comms, it was a lot of fun

[dusky blade]

They know people get their feelings hurt easily, and always want to be doing well and not know they’re bad

It drives profits

[pine roost]

No incentive to improve either. That’s what I find fun about games but no scoreboard kills that competition

[frozen wagon]

I used voice comms when I wanted to vacuum the room, or when my dog was upset at something

[signal osprey]

i wish the squad commands were more visible and varied, also would be nice if the squad leader had special items or could call in airstrikes or something

[pine roost]

I was discussing some ideas with others before launch, and we thought it would be cool if SLs could mark an area for an air strike, and it notifies pilots in the air to that location

[storm jolt]

im sure that can be added in later, i do miss that

[signal osprey]

we would never have a return to the commander mode in BF2, but man that would be so damn cool

[arctic grove]

Fuck no it wasn't

[dusky blade]

What was good about it besides visuals my dude

[jolly sail]

its just unlucky that those players who will buy the game and play for a short time are the main audiance instead of actual fans who play for years

[signal osprey]

i guess theres always hell let loose and squad for teamplay focused muliplayer

[dusky blade]

[arctic grove]

Gunplay, movement, they brought the "tactical" sprint

[dusky blade]

Yeah it’s super unlucky. Publishers the past few years have really started focusing on unaware players

[pine roost]

Bf4 was my first pc shooter, I’ve mained battlefield for years. 2042 is the first game I’ve put down a week after launch

[dusky blade]

Movement was extremely abusable, tactical sprint added nothing to the gameplay lol

[frozen wagon]

I wish they'd pull an FFXIV on the game.

But I imagine they're too proud to admit they messed up this badly

[dusky blade]

Tactical sprint just made you faster for a limited time because Base sprint was so slow

[pine roost]

Skill issue

[arctic grove]

Oh damn Angel did it again

[pine roost]

If you hate movement that much, let me introduce you to titanfall...

[calm plaza]

LOVE Titanfall. Was an epic.

[dusky blade]

If you’re talking about what’s bad about MW19..

Bad maps, bad matchmaking, inconsistent ttk, bad visibility, bad customisation, bad progression, bad monetisation, bad campaign, bad side mode, bad everything

[pine roost]

Is the gameplay fun though

[dusky blade]

MW19 ruined cod

[pine roost]

Cause to me it looks fun in videos

[dusky blade]

Every game since then has had linked progression and the same UI, menus, mechanics, etc. all the same game now

[pine roost]

I still haven’t played a single cod game. Aside from@the vanguard beta which was the worst fps I’ve played

[dusky blade]

Hehe vanguard was just a better MW19, wait until you play that game

[pine roost]

Here’s the fun part, I won’t

[dusky blade]

Good, save your sanity

You will lose your grasp on life if you play it

[pine roost]

I prefer games with more large scale strategy

I’ve been having a blast with Arma and squad these last few weeks. Battlefield has some good large scale strategy. But with these maps, weapons and lack of team dynamic it doesn’t feel right

[arctic grove]

It's literally a reskin set in WWII, game is too easy, MW will always be better, MW doesn't allow you to put drum mags on garand

[dusky blade]

I’ve been playing older BF games, BF1 in particular, it’s great

[dusky blade]

But MW19 does allow you to put 200 round barrels on an AR

[arctic grove]

Because at least with that, they make them look good

[dusky blade]

The barrels clip through your chest because they’re so big

[pine roost]

Sorry what? Drum mags on garand?

[hot lynx]

Cod has been absolute garbage since bo3

[arctic grove]

Yes

[dusky blade]

Since MW19 cod games have had the gunsmith, which allows you to make weapons ridiculous

[pine roost]

😐 wut

[toxic crater]

what

[arctic grove]

I'm not lying

[toxic crater]

hmmmm sensing cap my friend

[hot lynx]

And it still does the “ding” sound too

[dusky blade]

And in what ways is MW better 🤨

If it’s just the same game

[arctic grove]

Look it up my "friend"

[toxic crater]

ok what is reality anymore

[pine roost]

My only gripe with the gunsmith is that it sounds like a pain to balance. I like the sound of it but I can see some attachments being useless cause others are better, or certain combinations being too strong

[dusky blade]

Gunsmith isn’t balanced. 90% of attachments are filler and there’s the setup you use on every gun

[hot lynx]

Literally lol

[pine roost]

60% of 2042’s attachments are filler. Literally.

[dusky blade]

You always use anti recoil and faster ADS attachments for everything

[arctic grove]

Vanguard is literally MW if it was set in WWII, Vanguard also has an abundance of reflex sights, which is an inaccuracy

[toxic crater]

hmmm what about a campgaign, it would make the game very popular

[hot lynx]

Nah not fr, thing with battlefield is that they balance it perfectly to where it’s just your own preference

[dusky blade]

MW19 also has people who carry 30k of gear and slide cancel, which is an inaccuracy

[jolly sail]

nobody cares about or wants a br?

[toxic crater]

me neither

[pine roost]

What about the 4 suppressors that are Identical in stats but just visually different

[hot lynx]

Yeah I can agree about those, but everything else is based on preference

[dusky blade]

Vanguards maps make it far more fun, although it is still terrible and rushed

[pine roost]

And then the fact that some have the complete wrong stats displayed on the stats screen

[jolly sail]

nobody cares about single player in a battlefield

[toxic crater]

its like pizza without cheese, but yes the multiplayer is quite fun

[hot lynx]

I do

[storm jolt]

singleplayer in battlefield is something you play for an achievement or to unlock a gun

[arctic grove]

People can't carry 30k of gear, they still have to take in all the armour, and guns don't weigh that much, they are carrying 300 lbs tops

[toxic crater]

yeah im sure u are missing something bud

[dusky blade]

I find it hilarious how half of the barrels are either horizontal or vertical recoil reducers

HALF

[storm jolt]

keeps things balanced and theres no "best loadout"

[pine roost]

It helps to create the atmosphere and provide an emotional reason to immerse yourself in the game world. That can help the multiplayer in games like bf1, but it won’t necessarily make the game better just by having one

[jolly sail]

like what? its a damn battlefield and not legend of zelda xd

[storm jolt]

not really

[toxic crater]

bf1 campaign was legend

[dusky blade]

The characters can carry an ammo box, 2 grenades, 2 tacticals, over 10 rounds of heavy ammunition, a rocket launcher, a heavily customised AR, plus all the extra gear they wear such as clothing and armour

[dusky blade]

BF1 was amazing, all around

[toxic crater]

my fav one was the runner

[pine roost]

If you play that first campaign mission in bf1, the one where ‘you are not expected to survive’. You would think about the multiplayer differently

[dusky blade]

The ending tho

[jolly sail]

literally no one needs single player in BATTLEFIELD if the multiplayer works and isn't a shit show as is

[arctic grove]

Yeah and? Ratio + didn't ask and don't care + skill issue + cope harder

[dusky blade]

Argument successfully won 😎

[toxic crater]

calm down darling

[dusky blade]

@toxic crater my favourite is the first, although that’s a super popular choice. It was so dramatic with you dying over and over

And even though it’s super short

[pine roost]

Yeah if the multiplayer can convey the emotion and setting correctly, it isn’t necessary. Bf1 would still work brilliantly and provide that immersion without a campaign definitely. 2042 has none of this and so it just feels lifeless

[jolly sail]

okay maybe, haven't played but it won't improve bf2042 mp whatsoever

[arctic grove]

You want me to get my step dad or uncle? They were in the military and the could tell you each individual inaccuracy in call of duty MW 19

[dusky blade]

Though did BF1 did have a campaign and it was excellent

[toxic crater]

true

[storm jolt]

we need an aftermath style dlc in 2042, destroyed urban areas and wastelands

[pine roost]

The campaign isn’t necessary. But it helps. That’s how I look at it

[dusky blade]

Sure, since that’s what you’re doing when discussing why vanguard sucks, might as well get some WWII veterans too

[toxic crater]

it won't improve the multiplayer experience, but with the amazing lore of the game would produce a great and unforgettable campaign

[storm jolt]

its just that the 2042 story is all this has happened fast and the world is just now going bad, not set well into a war like bf3/bf1/bfv

[toxic crater]

My dad owns epic, stop flexing lad

[pine roost]

Tbf, that’s what we thought the maps would be anyway at launch. Considering the setting. But nope.

[storm jolt]

even the maps in bf4 were mostly clean, just with lots of trash everywhere

[arctic grove]

The Sten Mk. II is an open bolt, why isn't it an open bolt in vanguard hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

[arctic grove]

You wish ur dad was the owner of epic fool

[storm jolt]

are radar missiles good in jets or should i just continue to use ground

[dusky blade]

Why can I attach a 200 barrel mag to a kilo, remove the stock and remove the barrel hmmmmmmmmmmm?

[pine roost]

We do know however they are going to be creating specialists with much more story, to sell skins for them of course

[toxic crater]

Im saying that to show how useless ur flexing is, my dad doesnt own epic, but owns ea

[arctic grove]

Wtf is a "barrel mag" what you need someone to talk for you?

[pine roost]

Tell him to leave ea. Whoever runs that company, shouldn’t lol

[jolly sail]

I mean sure why not but this game needs so much work and if I had to choose between single player and a working multiplayer I would always go mp

[toxic crater]

[arctic grove]

I'd like to see that

[dusky blade]

I’m calling it that because it’s so big it might as well be a barrel

It’s a drum mag

[toxic crater]

stop with the baiting darling, go talk about vanguard somewhere else and stop attacking people it's pointless

[pine roost]

I would too. I haven’t played the campaign for bf1 or v yet the multiplayer still plays well and respects the setting. It’s a damn shame this multiplayer is so bad. But a campaign wouldn’t make the game any better

[arctic grove]

They exist my dude, it's a possibility

[jolly sail]

I know its ass but I rather have a working game than lore in the first place

[dusky blade]

Not like I can also remove the barrel, stock and entire front part of the gun while maintaining accuracy like you can in MW19

[pine roost]

You have hazard zone. The mode that wasn’t a complete flop at all

[storm jolt]

ea did say they added a bunch of people to the battlefield universe and some of them were story creators for halo/cod , with planned campaigns in future

[toxic crater]

yeah not sure about that

[dusky blade]

I prefer war stories to campaigns in battlefield

[arctic grove]

Yeah okay, tell that to instant recoil of the SIG 553

anyone know of the current performance config file?

[pine roost]

It’s funny how hazard zone was the concept they were originally going for for 2042. It flopped harder than a 2 tonne fish. If this game was just that..... that would have been abysmal

[dusky blade]

I would but guns can’t talk

[toxic crater]

yes but the lore is amazing to a point it would actually be legend if put in a campaign

[arctic grove]

No, but they go pew pew and brrrrrt.

[dusky blade]

Nah I really don’t care for it honestly... imagine stories showing how people in different parts of the world were dealing with the global crisis

No

[storm jolt]

theres no skins for them to sell

[toxic crater]

No

[pine roost]

Make it a separate ip and I’d be fine. Just don’t butcher battlefield and turn it into a different game

[jolly sail]

bro what

[arctic grove]

Micro transactions are stupid, thank God for not having them in 2042

[dusky blade]

They will in season 1

[pine roost]

yet

[toxic crater]

yet

[arctic grove]

yet

[pine roost]

yet

[dusky blade]

Or make a good battlefield

[toxic crater]

Yeah u just give up too quickly dont u

[arctic grove]

They probably will in the first season

[dusky blade]

They 100% will

[pine roost]

A battle royale battlefield will not work.

Hazard zone is proof

[arctic grove]

It doesn't matter though, I've got 4 free battlepasses

[jolly sail]

what's your obsession with br and what makes you think people who buy bf want a br

[dusky blade]

They added specialists for monetary reasons bruv

[toxic crater]

ngl quite excited about that

[storm jolt]

people will buy any skin

[toxic crater]

HZ isnt a br, firestorm in bfv was fire bad choice of words mb

[cedar sandal]

I'd buy the Santa skin if I could

[pine roost]

Buying skins for a game where 64 players can be in a small, concentrated area makes more sense than a game where you see up to 4 people every 2 minutes

[arctic grove]

I've waited 3-4 months just to play the game and now I'm waiting for season one :|

[storm jolt]

people buy anything even its just for a second or two at the end scene

[toxic crater]

same

[potent dragon]

Wot

[arctic grove]

It and all the dlc were in my library for 4 months and didn't get touched

[pine roost]

Just saying it makes more sense to buy them in a larger player gamemodes. Cause more people will actually see the skins.

I see skins in br games completely pointless

[toxic crater]

yep :/

[dusky blade]

Whenever I see people wearing skins I just think they’re idiots for spending money on virtual goods

[arctic grove]

I've only bought a few that I thought genuinely looked good on cod

[pine roost]

Perhaps, but I still wouldn’t bother

[toxic crater]

ngl @pine roost ur about me and pfp is quite admirable

[jolly sail]

you mostly get them for yourself I would say

[cedar sandal]

I'll buy it because it looks sick

[pine roost]

I’d equip a cool military skin in 2042 and 63 people nearby would see it. If I want to flex the cosmetics then that would be a better place than a br

[stark cipher]

Only cod/apex/fornite/etx kids will

[cedar sandal]

Honestly I can't wait for the event or whatever

[arctic grove]

If battlefield keeps the serious look they've had then I'll buy a few skins

[pine roost]

😐

[toxic crater]

add and highlight fortnite into that list

[dusky blade]

Do people think other are impressed when they see skins that cost real money?

[pine roost]

Apparently

[dusky blade]

I just think they’re stupid

[arctic grove]

Yes because people are dumb

[cedar sandal]

You don't have to buy them

[radiant echo]

eyy 2042 chat

[dusky blade]

But why would you buy them in the first place, I never understood it

[pine roost]

I’d by a skin I genuinely think looks cool. Not one that is rare or I don’t like just to flex on others

[potent dragon]

Wag wan my g

[north socket]

People spend money on what they want. They have no need to justify their expenditures

[radiant echo]

is the new event there yet 👀

[arctic grove]

Same

[dusky blade]

Because no one is impressed by a skin you spent $24 on

[toxic crater]

well it's market appeal, fornite for instance, added female skins with a lot of female skin on them that attracted pervets ._.

[pine roost]

It’s like buying a painting. There’s no reason to buy it. It doesn’t benefit you. It just looks good and you like looking at it.

[stark cipher]

Ngl, the one skin in ultimate edition look more serious than santa..

[toxic crater]

yes

[north socket]

then play without skins 🤷🏻‍♂️ what do you want?

[cedar sandal]

No one is impressed by the painting on my wall either but it's still cool

[arctic grove]

Which one

[potent dragon]

Busty falck skin when

[pine roost]

The chef one

[arctic grove]

Oh

[stark cipher]

Blueish and black future looky dude

[dusky blade]

But if you apply that to a game, you are the painting, so you can’t even admire it’s beauty in game

[toxic crater]

some kids including my brother dont know what that means

[stark cipher]

I would pick him because he look more seriously and dark..

[scarlet steeple]

I know what you want

[arctic grove]

Oh the one for Casper?

[pine roost]

Yeah that’s a point. Given that, fortnite would really be the only game where cosmetics are worth it

[potent dragon]

Gib

[toxic crater]

"oOh yOu gOt tHaT nArUtO sKiN"

[cedar sandal]

There was a lot of gamer controversy when it turned out that the concept art for Paik and Falck were supposedly more conventionally attractive characters lol

[toxic crater]

eh, maybe too much

[potent dragon]

You saying that aren't attractive now though? 😒

Qyy

That was the free nitro link k was talking bout yesterday

[pine roost]

The other day I was playing Rao with the desert camo skin. I legit didn’t know I had it equipped until I died and saw my body

I won’t buy any cosmetics at all for battlefield because of that.

[hushed badger]

they're fugly

[dusky blade]

Don’t support games launching bad

[radiant echo]

it's good now

[north socket]

facts

[pine roost]

Fortnite is admittedly the only game where I’ve bought a skin because I get to actually look at it myself. In a first person br game, I don’t see any point at all

[potent dragon]

Didn't ask you babe~

[radiant echo]

Lemme say that BF4 was unplayable for me for 6 months

[hushed badger]

you're fugly

[dusky blade]

“Yes this game did not launch good, here is all of my money, next time please release a game which is only half finished with much of the code missing”

[pine roost]

Unplayable, but still battlefield

[toxic crater]

yeah the great difference between the games wouldnt allow us to compare them, fortnite is a br where you can actually flex ur skin. Bf is a game where you fight 64 players and no one gives a shit on what you're wearing, all they care about is kill you before you kill them

[storm jolt]

i only played fortnite for a very short time to be a wingman to my friend and his new gf, and i spent $20 cus i was a sucker for the tron skins they had at the time

[potent dragon]

Cool opinion. Keep it to yourself

[hushed badger]

no I wanted you to know

[north socket]

People don't really buy games anymore. Just incomplete concepts making their way towards a game

[cedar sandal]

Falck was supposed to look like this apparently: https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/qsu7gf/early_design_of_falck_before_they_made_her_56/

This is the dumbest controversy tbh

[radiant echo]

Well what is Battlefield ? For me it's a fun mess with vehicles and guns and gadgets

[dusky blade]

She does look pretty badass in that concept art

[unkempt tartan]

This 👌

[radiant echo]

Is it just me or rush and 64 playlists should be permanent

[cedar sandal]

She looks badass in game. I wish I'd be as spry as she is when I'm 65.

[unkempt tartan]

This too 😂

[toxic crater]

For me its either f*ck people up with vehicles or you get shat on with vehicles

[pine roost]

For me it’s a large scale, strategic fps. It tests your decision making and with classes fits you within a certain role which incentivises team interaction.

Sure the sandbox is cool, but when there’s no team dynamic and no map flow, I don’t enjoy it

[radiant echo]

Lol but it's kinda true that's why I got the m5 all the time

[dusky blade]

Battlefield is class based combats on maps which offer both infantry and vehicle play, with maps designed with appropriate size and choke points in mind. Also this combined with simple progression (just a levelling system) and minimal gate keeping. Also a massive sandbox full of hundreds of different tools (weapons and vehicles at your fingertips. Simpler movement also adds to the classic feeling shooter, which I loved battlefield for

At least thats what it is for me

[toxic crater]

no one understands that, unfortunately

[toxic crater]

hm you make a good point

[rancid wyvern]

I got a bf portal discord I just made for anyone who likes to play portal and wants to find a group of people who like to join servers they made or find

[pine roost]

I like seeing myself develop by watching my scores on a scoreboard , learning the maps and playing as a certain role

[unkempt tartan]

When that happens I just tell my teammates to whip out some rockets

[pine roost]

Which is why I’m really enjoying squad right now 🙂

[dusky blade]

Never
