battlefield-2042

[unique oyster]

Even bc2 is alive

[wise zodiac]

Yes, with 190k users on here.

[subtle iron]

I mean like wifi and stuff like that, not the battlefield ssettings

[spark field]

Because the matches won't launch lol

[unique oyster]

Its default for me

[glad mist]

Yeah that's prolly connection issues @unique oyster

[solar tinsel]

I think you need to find a different word than "dead" then ha. If you're comparing quality or preference compared to other titles.
2042 is still up and running with a large active playerbase and active development. So no, it is not dead. 😆

[earnest verge]

190k users here, 37k playing the game

[glad mist]

Scroll down the userlist and count how many people are actually playing BF2042 and how many are playing other games

[solar tinsel]

"Dead to you" perhaps, but that's a different story

[prisma anvil]

you got any other bf game's installed?...recent ones like 1 or v or 4? @unique oyster

[arctic grove]

who want play with me

[unique oyster]

I uninstalled 5 to play this

[wise zodiac]

That's a flawed metric. That doesn't include origin, accurate steam numbers, or console.

[solar tinsel]

I'm not exactly surprised, half of the people on this discord just come here to shit on 2042. Not exactly a great sample

[wise zodiac]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[earnest verge]

ur right, but flawed metric to drive agenda is what we do here so dont tell anyone

[unique oyster]

5 was really hard to get match since it’s full on most servers

[glad mist]

source?

[edgy oriole]

Game is solid tbh. when bugs get fixed itll be ever better

[wise zodiac]

[spark field]

Hey I'm rank almost* 95 I've put hours in 😆

[solar tinsel]

Relax, it's hyperbole

[unique oyster]

Portal is solid not the other two

[wise zodiac]

I mean, I'm sure out of the 190k users, a good portion are userbots.

[unique oyster]

Finally one player in squad

[indigo needle]

I prefer AoW

[unique oyster]

And that person left

[prisma anvil]

definitely not a bot btw.....

[solar tinsel]

@glad mist But hyperbole aside, you really still think a Discord user list is nonetheless a reliable source of data to determine if a game has an active playerbase or not? What about consoles? What about people who don't bother to use Discord cause they don't take it as seriously? etc.

[unique oyster]

No bots ?
Wasn’t this supposed to have bots

[glad mist]

shooo

[spark field]

I don't always whine but when I do it's with the cheese on the end screen lol

[prisma anvil]

we're not talking about 2042 bots

[proper river]

Active players is a legacy feature

[glad mist]

not really

[indigo needle]

At this point I don't bother looking for things to complain about, I just play the game or don't, I mean it's not like there are millions of other games to play

[solar tinsel]

Shoo? Weren't you going off about accurate and transparent representation? If you think calling 2042 "Battlefield" is misleading, then how are we supposed to feel about you citing a Discord user list as an accurate representation of the playerbase? You know I'm right! 😆

[arctic grove]

Why you arguing with a moron? Just leave it mate wasting your breath

[glad mist]

bro who even is talking to you

[solar tinsel]

Eh, that's part of the fun of this Discord is it not? 😆

[spark field]

Yes it's definitely a love hate thing for 2042 mostly

[arctic grove]

If you enjoy arguing with rocks then sure

[raw niche]

yo why tf is manifest the ONLY co quest map that pops up jow

[prisma anvil]

welcome to matchmaking...you want a soda?..we got sprite

[solar tinsel]

You can cancel a map during matchmaking before you hop in when you see the map

[glad mist]

you've already lost all credibility to me when you claimed that BF2 and BF3 are two completly seperate Battlefield games
so go talk to someone else about your believes

[indigo needle]

The things I love surpass the things I hate though

[iron blade]

I love portal, i just dont like AOW and HZ, those gamemodes are wack

[arctic grove]

Mate just shut up huh? You're the last person to be chatting credibility

[raw niche]

thanks for the tip

[solar tinsel]

I did not say that, I said that that was a common criticism of BF3. I actually disagreed with that opinion. I thought BF3 was a legitimate Battlefield game despite its departure from BF2's traditions

[spark field]

Same same it's great just buggy af

[raw niche]

lmao, they need to add a server search feature

[prisma anvil]

thats a legacy feature bud

[iron blade]

U got dr pepper?

[earnest verge]

prog for portal + level editor = this game gonna be larger than life

[amber ledge]

Is 2042 working ?

[prisma anvil]

nah m8....we have coke

[indigo needle]

That it is. This is true

[iron blade]

Misspelling on my end

[solar tinsel]

Hot take here, I actually think matchmaking is the better option for AoW. They just need to try to automatically match into non-duplicate maps and also prevent joining maps that are literally about to end

[glad mist]

Except there was no departure from Battlefield 2?
The core features were the same, the balance between equipment vehicles and loadouts was the same

the entire core principle and concept of Battlefield was more or less the same

[iron blade]

Punches air with nefarious intent

[indigo needle]

Getting into games that are just about to end isn't a new thing to BF though

[prisma anvil]

it needs both, just like 1, just like 5, keep the matchmaking option front and center, and the browser a few tabs in

[trim surge]

anyone heared of this clownfield 2042 game on steam?

[prisma anvil]

the powder kind

[iron blade]

Oooooooooh gimme dat shit

[solar tinsel]

I'm fine with that as long as Matchmaking doesn't match into the other servers. In theory though, this should be what Portal is for. DICE just needs to add full progression to Portal, at least for stock experiences

[spark field]

The one thing that makes me flip a nut is when I accidentally spawn in a vehicle with the knowledge of the bug that occurs when you spawn in a vehicle and literally prevents you from ADS until you respawn. That's a deal breaker for any sniper.

[silent plank]

Can you turn off lense flare in game?

[glad mist]

prolly with a config

[iron blade]

Man if the next BF game is that hero shooter it’s supposedly is, then imma just be disappointed. Not angry, not happy, just disappointed

[amber ledge]

Is 2042 working ????? And Battlefield 2 and 3 are significantly different !!! Unless you all are talking about bad company

[solar tinsel]

If you think BF3 was similar enough to BF2 and still "Battlefield", then I'm surprised to hear you think BF2042 is "not Battlefield" while BF3/BF4 is.
Again, I get you don't like it, but they all have enough of a common Battlefield DNA

[prisma anvil]

even in those games matchmaking never put you OOR, browser was for the guys who wanted specific experiences, couldnt find games in their region....they could do it with portal, but theyve already separated them,

[earnest verge]

killin snipers by airdroping a tank on them is really cool feature tho

[glad mist]

Bro BF2s and BF3s Multiplayer literally share 90% of the core concept and design wtf are you even talking about lmao.

[indigo needle]

Nut flipping is never fun but I have never experienced that one, the worst one for me is killing someone and having their body remain the the last pose before dying, meaning they are standing there aiming at me even though they're dead, freaks me out lol

[amber ledge]

Battlefield 2 is PlayStation 2 and then bad company and bad company 2 long before battlefield 3

[solar tinsel]

Right, that's what Portal SHOULD be in my opinion. Just let Portal host stock or specific experiences, and make sure people can get full progression for it. I mean, Portal is literally what you're saying. A seperate experience w/ a browser. The big issue is the progression holdup, and I think if that's fixed, that solves it

[glad mist]

you can't seriously come up with Battlefield DNA, and try to compare BF2 and 3 and claim that 2042 is a Battlefield

[spark field]

Taxidermy specialist 😆

[glad mist]

you have to be trolling or talking outta your arse

[spark field]

I take it you don't like snipers?

[indigo needle]

BF for me is big battles with vehicles and destruction, this one has that.

[heavy shuttle]

Nice bait

[iron blade]

Imagine if there was an option in portal to turn on 2042 classes and u can play 2042 with the traditional class system. That would literally save the game

[earnest verge]

nah i dont mind, shotgun is my jam, but u cant tell me droping a tank to kill a sniper isnt cool af

[solar tinsel]

I would argue there's more different between 2 and 3

BF3 focused on more infantry/CQB maps, 4 player squads (instead of 6) with spawn on ANY squad member, 4 classes w/ more weapon type choices than BF2

People literally complained that BF3 catered to "casuals and console players"

[glad mist]

[spark field]

When I get that close to them I go for the takedown I always assume they are gonna turn around.

[iron blade]

BF2 and BF3 are sorta the same, they share the same basic formulas, just improved or modified upon formulas.

[thick copper]

2042 remove cyclone, add meteor strike

[glad mist]

yeah you have fun whatever you're doing with yourself and your life

[heavy shuttle]

BF3 didn't necessarily "focus" on CQB. It was just the first entry that really expanded on it and had a technology leap to make it feel good

[solar tinsel]

same to you

[prisma anvil]

bigger issue is, the AOW servers arent shown in portal, plus the progression, they literally couldve made it so that AOW was just the matchmaking aspect, and portal would have the browser that you could switch between seeing the AOW servers and the portal servers......but nope....

[earnest verge]

it dont matter, going for the coolest possible play is always the correct play, even if it only works 1% of the time

[amber ledge]

I do like cqb this 128 shit too much

[spark field]

Or you can drop a ranger 😆

[solar tinsel]

But that's what I'm saying, the AoW Matchmaking servers shouldn't be in the Portal browser. If people can manually join an AoW server, that defeats the purpose.

A benefit of matchmaking for AoW is preventing team-stacking.

[glad mist]

I've had enough people like you pretending to be smart alecks to know that it's a waste of time

[arctic grove]

hello, I am new , who can answer some of my Questions?

[earnest verge]

do it for the montage am i right

[prisma anvil]

no, it isnt, the shitty squad system is, matchmaking isnt preventing team stacking....saying this as someone who's got 10 people in a AOW game

[iron blade]

Man cut dice some slack man, they are trying their hardest!

Proceeds to take money from EA from under the table

[solar tinsel]

I thought you were going to let me have fun and move on with my life? Now you're coming back for more? Weird

[arctic grove]

I just played my first match of bf1, I love it

[spark field]

It's actually crazy that thing is in the game 😂 I feel like a noob using the ranger it kinda reminds me on battlefield V setting up AP mines near ammo and getting free kills

[arctic grove]

How can I play the tutorial? I am ultra new to BF42

[heavy shuttle]

[solar tinsel]

Hm, well then there needs to be a reassessment for sure. I do like how AoW has less instances of team stacking, one way or another

[tender folio]

[iron blade]

Hehehe yeah boah!!! Welcome to one of the greatest games in the franchise!

[solar tinsel]

Honestly I think the simplest solution to it is full progression for Portal, and let Portal also just be a way to host custom 2042 experiences with a browser

[arctic grove]

so tempted to go back to bf4 tbh lol

[iron blade]

Dew it - palpatine

[arctic grove]

maaaybe

[glad mist]

do it, it's alive and well

[earnest verge]

does it still have lots of players, been thinkin of reinstalling

[glad mist]

come have fun with us

[arctic grove]

Hello. who can help me please?

[arctic grove]

i remember that bf4 servers had fake player counts. i doubt that was ever fixed?

[iron blade]

@arctic grove save ur soul from eternal torment from playing 2042

[arctic grove]

I mean I'm on Xbox where theres like none

[spark field]

I will say the Ranger isn't op but it's really good for a nice push in breakthrough

[glad mist]

it sorta is, sorta isn't. More or less a bug with 3rd party server hosting.

[iron blade]

Idk, u can play against bots

[glad mist]

it's been relatively ok now that BF4 is more healthy again

[prisma anvil]

also clans are gone, plus its a 128 players, just have 6-8 people squads, the stackers can stack.....that way, playing as a squad can be somewhat rewarding,

[arctic grove]

How to play against bots? Also, can you play co-op? To unlock and master weapons?

[glad mist]

squads are a legacy feature

[iron blade]

Yeah use co-op, u can upgrade weapons

[arctic grove]

how to access it?

[solar tinsel]

I'm fine with approach too, as long as it's squad leader spawn only. OR, no squad spawn at all and you need to rely on beacons

[thick copper]

no they blocked that

[spark field]

At least it's not as toxic as Boris the man just sits on his ass getting kills

[iron blade]

Go to AOW, and where u would change the gamemode, switch it to co-op solo, u can change the map

[solar tinsel]

You can progression up to Mastery 12 I think, to unlock the attatchments

[arctic grove]

I just got a double kill with a 1911 suppressed

How to play co-op?Like can you get matched with random players to play in co-op?I do not have friends/

[thick copper]

if you think about it we are all sitting on our arses getting kills

[spark field]

Hahaha true

[solar tinsel]

Co-Op is AI only + up to 3 other players in your party if you have any

It's in the mode select for AoW

[iron blade]

Beuh they did?! Bro ffs @arctic grove yeah nvm man, they got rid of progression in that gamemode, ig u will just have to suffer and play the actual game

[arctic grove]

So you can't play solo or co-op to rank up weapons and their masteries?

[solar tinsel]

You can, up to a point

[earnest verge]

sometime in 2022 is what u waiting for with the rest of us

[thick copper]

it used to be a thing very early days then they patched it out after players were at level 80 by 2 days after release

[fallen yoke]

This game has become rather boring now, not sure how or why, just feels boring to play. Even with 64players now

[solar tinsel]

I think once you hit a certain mastery (12 I think) future progression needs to be done in AoW

[arctic grove]

what is AoW?

[iron blade]

Oof, i knew u couldnt progress in portal, but they got rid of co-op in AOW? Damn

[spark field]

When I'm sniping I pretty much am destroying equipment mostly because of the Boris infestation. It's like they made a nest lol

[prisma anvil]

hmmm...interesting thing to look at that.....still, i'll take the stacking, i'll fight fire with fire, that thing allowed me to find games for two entries and its the reason why i can still play bf1, v and part of why bf4 is still alive....its needed

[iron blade]

All out warfare, main gamemode, when ur on the gamemode selection with portal, hazard zone, AOW is in the middle

[thick copper]

33% positive rating on steam

[severe oyster]

The game is dying

[iron blade]

IGN 10/10

[thick copper]

its stillborn

[earnest verge]

[spark field]

Nah I don't believe so

[iron blade]

Also how tf did It Takes 2 win GOTY, ive never heard of the game outside from ads for it on YT back in January

Ive never heard anyone actually play the game lmfao

[prisma anvil]

the hell's that?....need to look it up

[thick copper]

they released it with half arsed content, unoptimized and a tedious grind.

[arctic grove]

Ty

[iron blade]

Yup 2042 is a masterpiece with absolutely no issues with bugs, missing features, or losing identity!

Paycheck from EA comes in the mail

[still vault]

Once Reddit decides to reviewbomb something the actual score looses all indication of the actual fun/quality to be had in a game, all it shows is that a lot of people were dissatisfied with something / wanted something different.

[spark field]

DICE will enjoy the holiday ham then hopefully fix the bugs

[shrewd lily]

I don't think so, complaints feel more than satisfied people

[arctic grove]

Is there any tutorial to teach me keybinds and stuff?

[iron blade]

Its a weird ass co-op game. Halo shouldve gotten GOTY, and thats coming from a guy on ps4

[thick copper]

we want a proper working game that has content and doesnt freeze or frame drop everytime a person farts

[solar tinsel]

Yeah it's just with 8 players being able to spawn on each other, it'd be near impossible to wipe squads.

Actually a cool idea could be to join as a party of 4 with squad spawn, or 5-8 with no squad spawn.

This way you trade squad spawn for the ability to work as a larger and tighter team

Maybe call it Squads vs Platoons

[iron blade]

Co-op is PVE, go into aow, go to where u would change the gamemode from conquest to breakthrough, and change it to co-op

[thick copper]

you know a platoon is far larger then a squad right?

[spark field]

Look how bad battlefield v was and now is? Like I think 2042 is in a much better state even with all the bugs that's crawling in it

[radiant echo]

Platoon is like a clan

[iron blade]

BFV honestly is actually good now, imo better than BF2042

[arctic grove]

I just choose any of those modes there, right?

[spark field]

Yes that's my point. We just gotta wait for the same for 2042

[iron blade]

Ye, heres a vid on it. Good luck! https://youtu.be/rbaZZVFmY10

[still vault]

We all want a game that performs well.

[empty bloom]

isn’t the steam playerbase higher on bfv

[arctic grove]

ty

[prisma anvil]

hmmm..imo another reason for gadget locking to classes wouldve been the right course, think of this, spawn beacons locked to a class, would incite people to use that class, if youve got a m8 with it, you can only spawn on him, if he's deployed it, you can only spawn on the beacon, would make the beacon a greater tool too, just throwing out ideas....emp grenades would become a bigger tool then too

[iron blade]

I think its bout the same idk

[thick copper]

except the devs apparently

[pastel wyvern]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML8stZp0o48

[prisma anvil]

pretty neck and neck, rn the steam count will be a bit higher for 2042 cuz of the free weekend

[spark field]

You know it's not the developers fault right?

[dapper summit]

anyone elese unable to connect t othe Bf2042?

[light burrow]

yeah

Server issues again, what a great start

[dapper summit]

im sure this indy company will figure it out. they dont have the billion in resources like other companies

[light burrow]

I hope the will hear at the Community, if not this game will die pretty soon

[spark field]

If that would be the case bfv would be lol

It took a long time for it to become good

[light burrow]

yeah this is the sad part, they dont learn over mistakes

[dapper summit]

they dont listen to the community they listen t othe shareholders

[radiant echo]

BF4 too

[earnest verge]

its not like they made extensive research and stated in multiple newsarticle how important it is to keep the dna that made battlefield battlefiled and keeping its core features for its long time fans, how could they have ever known

[prisma anvil]

they are, they probably will add and fix a lot of shit, but it'll probably take a year or maybe more to do it, will the game survive and be profitable enough till that time for ea to keep supporting it?...now thats the question

[dapper summit]

if the shareholders told them to make the next Bf title a Furry/ my little pony game they would

[light burrow]

EA is known to kill studios or Projects, but BF is another case its one of the important Project

[spark field]

DICE listens just the big wigs pushes unfinished products

[shrewd lily]

I expect a No Man's Sky effect

[dapper summit]

if anything it will be Anthem

[arctic grove]

I just tried a game, but my mouse moves soo weird

[prisma anvil]

they probably cant kill off battlefield, too big of a name,

[dapper summit]

if only we had server browsers and games that didnt reset. 2 steps forward 3 steps back

[radiant echo]

Try changing uniform mouse aiming in the settings

[dapper summit]

love sitting in a que waiting for servers t opopulate.

[unique oyster]

And had features from previous games

Wait for next game they’ll have the previous features as main selling point

[dapper summit]

its new coke!!!!!!!!!

[spark field]

Lol

Change it back damn it

[light burrow]

Yeah Dice is not really the problem, its EA. I mean who at Dice though: "Yeah a server Browser, no we dont need it, a scoreboard? Its an legacy feature. What Class Systems? How do we make money out of this. An All chat or Team/Squad switching? Dont care if your Squad mates are trash or you want to play with your friend alone.

[earnest verge]

that is such bull, dice have been verry clear with why they removed lots of those things, Dice not to blame for evertyhing but god damn dont give them slack for what is 100% on them either

[gleaming kettle]

Anyone wish Boris Sentry was better? or Boris in general? Ive had several times the Sentry just stare at people make a noise as it was alarm of presense.. Shoot once at the enemy and do nothing afterwards even with them standing infront of the Sentry

[spark field]

They want us to use Discord or type shit while playing the game that requires all of your attention in gun engagements lol

Kinda feels like texting and driving never goes according to plan

[light burrow]

Ok, then not the Devs, All lot of people are blaming the Devs, and few are sending even Death threads, this is not ok. Devs are just following orders, and after i listen to some "insiders" i heard that they have to do what the People up says.

[gleaming kettle]

100% Agree, I can't believe there is no VOIP in this game as previous titles had it

[prisma anvil]

fuck us console guys huh?....we used vc as a trial to see if someone jives with us......but now?...nope...just add someone, hope they accept your request, create a party, hope they have a mic, hope they join, then you can get to whether theyre a decent player and person, lmao

[brittle forge]

I think DICE deserves criticism for redoing the core of the game literally every entry instead of just getting a framework that works and sticking to it. If BF2042 kept a lot of the systems and design from BFV I think the game would have been better for it, and even then BFV had its fair share of weird changes from 1 (gun/vehicle progression)

[spark field]

The legacy feature is definitely a meme now lol

[earnest verge]

this i agree with, blaming individuals devs is silly, treathning people like that should give jailtime

[brittle forge]

I know COD gets the “recycled game” complaint but the core of their experience undeniably works and they don’t try to fix what isn’t broken.

[gleaming kettle]

If you want maximum efficiency in this game its best to squad up with friends and use discord.. because texting will get you killed

[prisma anvil]

dont have more than 3 friends tho, thats a big nono

[gleaming kettle]

Thats more than i have, tried to get them to play this game but dont think its gonna happen

[light burrow]

and who at dice though it is a good idea to put an Attack Heli and a Jet in the same category??

[spark field]

What about fornifications lol I wonder what that's considered to be? Lol or for that matter knowing how much damage we did to something. Instead we get a part was disabled.

[errant yew]

[arctic grove]

my aim feels too damn weird still

[arctic grove]

On what?

2042

Platform.

[arctic grove]

Uniform mouse is uniform soldier aiming right?PC Pc platform

[buoyant pawn]

Can someone tell me some good settings for controller. My aim feels like I’m playing with a toaster

[arctic grove]

Idk

[prisma anvil]

depends, last gen or next gen?

[earnest verge]

hipfire max sense, ads low sense

[buoyant pawn]

Last gen

Every time I’m in a gunfight my sun assist is either too little or none at all , very frustrating

[arctic grove]

I play on pc, but settings feeel too damn weird

[earnest verge]

trust me, hipfire high sense, ads low sense is the way to go on controller

[copper geyser]

if i buy the game off of steam, will it use orgin to launch? i know this was the case with the beta but i didnt know if it was still a thing

[arctic grove]

Just tweak them

[gleaming kettle]

I play on PC.. I can't imagine the struggle console players have, i feel spoiled honestly with mouse and keyboard

[buoyant pawn]

Hip fire is soldier aim right ?

[earnest verge]

think so

[onyx mica]

let's go people.. tho my brain hurts a bit looking at them running around nowhere near objectives, come join us

[brittle forge]

Apparently 2042’s console aim controls aren’t great but I’m on PC for 2042

[earnest verge]

if u want it to feel like cod, try about 75% ads compared to hipfire - tho id go much lower personnaly

[arctic grove]

It really isn't cause of aim assist.

[woeful rose]

I know right 😂 it’s so strange having a BF game with 0 communication apart from pings or to type manually.. what the fuck were they thinking 🤣

[gleaming kettle]

Have you tried to look up YouTube videos for aiming with controller settings etc?

[brittle forge]

Well I heard that that system specifically was bad. I know it was in the beta, cause I actually did play that on PS5

[buoyant pawn]

Yeah I’m playing on 50 right now. How about soldier aim assist and zoom snap

[brittle forge]

Pings don’t even work half the time

[buoyant pawn]

Every video I watch says something different

[woeful rose]

Had that happen yesterday, tried to ping a tank so we could take it on.. 5 seconds later squad wipe 😂

[earnest verge]

i used to play without aimassist but have snap turned on when doing comps, but thats personal pref tbh

[gleaming kettle]

Sensitivity settings is based on players preferences really, may not work for some or none. Its what you are comfortable with. Just like PC some play with 400, 800, 1600 DPI

[buoyant pawn]

Thank you bro, it’s just so complicated so many settings then the aiming left and right also

[earnest verge]

i remember the struggle, np bro

[buoyant pawn]

Do you have uniform soldier aiming on

[earnest verge]

yes, on pc i turn it up a bit, on console i turn it down a bit

[buoyant pawn]

Thank you man 👍

[prisma anvil]

allright, these things might help, but just so you know, there are multiple reports of input delay on last gen, so dont know how much it'll help,

1. turn down snap to 0,
2. set a decent soldier aim sens, have it so that you can perform an almost perfect 180 repeatedly (you can test in solo)
3. for ads sens increase it to the point where you can control recoil easily,
4. turn down aiming accelaration to 0
5. you can go into controller tuning and change a few things around, note: these might help a bit or a ton or none at all, reduce center and axial deadzone( for both left and right sticks ) to around 10( this is if you have a controller without stick drift, if you do, see which type of drift you have and adjust the deadzones accordingly,) reduce max input threshold for your left stick to 0, reduce right stick max input threshold to anything between 60-90 and see how it feels. also for l2/r2 in that same page, reduce all 4 of them to 0
6. once youve found a decent enough sens, i cant stress this enough, practice, dont go changing sens every day, it takes time i know, but practice truly is key

@buoyant pawn

[gleaming kettle]

the norms for coefficiency aiming is 0, 133, 178 I believe while some will argue 0 is better then you got debate about 178

[prisma anvil]

forgot to even tag the guy, fucking hell

[arctic grove]

where top find snap?

[earnest verge]

no worries, if u need to recenter ur aim on target without autoaim, tap ads and u center againn

[prisma anvil]

aim assist, it should be in controls i think, first page, i dont exactly remember, if it isnt there, check in gameplay....only turn down snap assist

[solar tinsel]

Speaking of aiming. Is it unavoidable to have the tank cannons (while not zoomed in) continue to oversteer after input? I'm guessing it's meant to feel like weight moving the turret, but dang it feels like a bad case of input lag

[buoyant pawn]

Damn bro , this is perfect thank you for the help. Imma try this right now see how it feels. I play COD and have never struggled at BF before but this game was frustrating

[torpid shuttle]

Anyway to fix unable to ads after exit vehicle?
I face this issue every match.

[prisma anvil]

again, a lot of this might make your aim feel uncontrollable, first find your regular hipfire sens, its the easiest to find, only then go into the aiming sens and all its customizations, cuz it can be a rabbit hole

[iron kraken]

anyone think the dealmaker looks cool?

[urban olive]

When you find a great hidden place to spot from and your squad spawns in standing / shooting to give it away

[prisma anvil]

have you got decouple aiming from turning set to on?

[earnest verge]

on, always

[prisma anvil]

asking if he does, you never know

[arctic grove]

I wont play this shit, its impossible to move ur mouse like that and play, its not fluid at all

[earnest verge]

fair, but do u really want ur aim to move with some 1 else turning it for u xD

[azure lintel]

anyone else game get a random crash with gtx 3070?

just shuts down

[prisma anvil]

cant say bud

[arctic grove]

Its like, I drag mouse to left ,and crosshair follows 1-2 second after, with some sort of weird delay

[prisma anvil]

jesus thats some bad input delay

[azure lintel]

yea i feel like that sometimes haha

games dogshit right now sadly

[solar tinsel]

I think it's technically "Off" but in short, yes my aiming is decoupled

Pressing R2 to start driving in a direction doesn't move my aim

[arctic grove]

Apparently it was the mouse polling rate

Doing trouble. How do I make sure the sens is 1-1?I play with 1600 dpi, what is the reccomended sens for this game?

[prisma anvil]

hmmmmm.....weird....does it happen when youve lets say, moved, stopped, aimed and then moved your aim?....or does it happen, when youve run in, immediately let go of the tank movement, ads'd and then turned? @solar tinsel

[light warren]

Everytime I launch the game, my vehicule classes resets...

[arctic grove]

The question is what isn’t wrong with this game lol

[scarlet steeple]

Sundance

[prisma anvil]

grappling hook go brrrrrrrrr

[arctic grove]

Grappling hook defies physics

[languid bramble]

didnt play bf for some time now

[shrewd lily]

Too many users used to play as Sundance

And often they land in front of you unexpectedly😂

[solar tinsel]

Nah I mean more like, I am fully stopped. Not zoomed in, and I turn my turret aim to the right. Then after I let go of the RS, it continues to push the aim to the right for maybe half a second after I let go

When I am zoomed with the turret though, it's instant. The moment I let go, my turret stops instantly.

[prisma anvil]

ahhhh...so it happens in non ads

[arctic grove]

Will Controller Sens Settings affects me if I use mouse and play on PC?

[solar tinsel]

Correct. Is that the same on PC as well?

[prisma anvil]

i'm on console and infantry so cant say

[solar tinsel]

gotcha. It may be a "feature" to make the tank feel weightier, but I feel like it may give MKB an advantage, since I imagine it's a bit easier to handle and make those micro adjustments

Half the time I just try to stay zoomed as much as possible when shooting in tanks

[hasty flame]

Lmao

[white geyser]

Drinking my soda and playing BF 2042 while using the MC5 Bolte, but I wish they made a bit more different for the driver sit because using the rocket launcher for the MC5 Bolte sucks, can’t hit the target.

[subtle iron]

-_-

[languid bramble]

am i the only one who thinks that bf2042 looks more smooth on ps5 than pc

[scarlet steeple]

Yes

[honest cloud]

Anyone wanna play 2042 on pc

[languid bramble]

its kinda sad that the games looks better on 500$ console than 3000$ pc... win goes to console for bf2042 for sure

[scarlet steeple]

Guess you configured your PC incorrectly

[languid bramble]

dont think so , but okay

[scarlet steeple]

[copper fulcrum]

If your $3000 pc is doing worse than a $500 Console, you did something wrong putting your pc together

[scarlet steeple]

[copper fulcrum]

Check your bios, maybe you're not using your ram?
Also check your refresh rate in Windows Settings, by default it uses only 60

[obtuse laurel]

Hi, is it really take that long when we queue on multiplayer mode? It never seem to start its stuck on waiting players to join even tho the squad is already filled

[languid bramble]

I didnt said anywhere that my pc aint running good..I said that it feel like ps5 feel more smooth by the video I saw in this discord

[silver ingot]

its not just you I gave up after 15 min

[dull crater]

or the game is terribly optimised..... like it is

[copper fulcrum]

Again check your refresh rate in your windows display settings

[scarlet steeple]

So, you're basing your opinion on something not first hand knowledge or your own. Okay.

Goodluck with that in life.

[obtuse laurel]

Damn is it really that bad? The matchmaking? How do we enable crossplay? I chose not to enable crossplay earlier, how to activate it nowv

[copper fulcrum]

Also just make sure you don't have any frame limits on lol

Ya know, AMD Chill or whatever it's called.

There is zero reason why any $3000 pc if it actually did cost that much isn't running this game at 120 fps at the minimum

[languid bramble]

im doing good in my life myself....it was unnecessary for you to say that...I just said what I think atm...thats all , enjoy the day

[royal swan]

Man a server browser would be nice

[scarlet steeple]

Only reason is mine actually. 4K. 120 isn't isn't. I get 90 though.

[copper fulcrum]

4k is demanding yeah

[scarlet steeple]

🆗

[copper fulcrum]

128 players and 4k graphics are heavy weights

[solar tinsel]

Really DICE just needs to enable progression in custom Portal modes, and then problem solved

[scarlet steeple]

Yeah, I do 90 always but when I record, I drop to 70. Only on this game, lol.

[prisma anvil]

ya'll actually playing in 4k?....jesus christ

[obtuse laurel]

Im playing on an R5 3500x + 6600xt, ultra i got over 80 fps+

[solar tinsel]

I'm not surprised, encoding video is INCREDIBLY CPU intensive, and so I imagine is 2042 with 128 players. What codec are you recording in?

[obtuse laurel]

On 1440p

[royal swan]

I don't care about anything thing else but a server browser, I have been stuck at the waiting for player screen for too long

[white geyser]

DICE needs to rework portal mode not only to fix it, but enable custom in the portal

[scarlet steeple]

You're probably right. 9900k but still, poo lol

[obtuse laurel]

The match making dude… they shouldve just let the players play and fill the gaps with bots

[solar tinsel]

Weird, I matchmake quickly, but still, Portal should still have full progression and then players can use Portal as a server browser for stock-like experiences

[solar tinsel]

Eh, still doesn't mean it can handle anything you throw at it. I mean, especially if you're encoding H.264, you're slamming your CPU, possibly even more than the game is

[obtuse laurel]

Maybe its because i have my crossplay turned off

[solar tinsel]

Possibly. What platform are you on?

[obtuse laurel]

Imma figure out how to turn it on, cus the button on the general settings isnt highlighted, cant click it

[obtuse laurel]

Pc Epic-Origin

[solar tinsel]

Hm, I would imagine most PC players have crossplay enabled. They have very little to lose in my opinion.

[errant scarab]

hi

[white geyser]

I felt like I couldn’t create my own experience at portal so I can create my own zombie mode and choose which battlefield I want to use for survival

[wide shore]

True. Especially with aim assist being fucked

[scarlet steeple]

Tbf, I get more frames in 2042 w my 3090 than RDR2, Forza, and FarCry6, so I don't complain, it's just the recording issue.

[obtuse laurel]

Yeah, im truing ti figure out how to turn it on, cus the button is un clickable on the option settings

[solar tinsel]

What codec are you recording? Do you have the option to change the codec?

[solar tinsel]

If you're in a party and/or game currently, you can't change. Go back to menu and leave your party

[scarlet steeple]

Thats with medal, shadowplay and windows dvr

[obtuse laurel]

Ahh lemme check that out

[scarlet steeple]

It's literally only 2042 though that does it :(

[hazy sun]

if you are recording with shadowplay or NVENC, just make sure you are under 95% gpu usage and you shouldnt have any issues

[solar tinsel]

Unfortunately that means nothing to me ha. Let me try to look up, do you have a video settings page or something?

[obtuse laurel]

Come to think of it yes i played a couple ai modes with friends

[scarlet steeple]

Yeah of course. I'm at work now, but I can try stuff at home if you have ideas. I never touch the settings because every other game works when I record fine. But to take 20 frames away grrrrrrr lol

[obtuse laurel]

Im not used to bf party systems even tho i played a full experience of bf V

[scarlet steeple]

In 4K I'm like always 98 or 99

[prisma anvil]

jesus

[hazy sun]

are you using DLSS? you can cut your usage by alot im on 4k aswell

[scarlet steeple]

Dlss doesn't work properly yet, and I don't need it with 90fps and gsync

[prisma anvil]

ai dios mio thats a lot of frames for 4k

[solar tinsel]

Right well like I said, I imagine 2042 is more CPU intensive than most given the volume of players, projectiles, etc, and vid recording is usually CPU intensive.

As Critical said, if you have Hardware accelerated encoding as an option (like NVENC) this might help leverage the GPU more, but still, at the end of the day, I tend to think the CPU takes on a large brunt of it. Depends on the encoding software though

[scarlet steeple]

Forza gets me 74, fc6 gets me 68 and rdr gets me 85, so 2042 isn't BAD

[hazy sun]

turn down ambient occlusion, thats the biggest GPU usage honestly

[scarlet steeple]

I turned off RT occlusion yes

[hazy sun]

not RT,AO in general like HBAO

[prisma anvil]

hmmmm.....forza is the one thats really surprising, like the hell is forza using?

[scarlet steeple]

Okay thank you :) I'll try

[scarlet steeple]

Horizon 4 I would get like 100, now 75ish in 5 yah, idk, I mean it's a beautiful game but yah, demanding

[scarlet steeple]

I'll try that too when I'm home. It's just this recording crap

[solar tinsel]

You bet! And yeah if you have the option to switch between CPU and GPU recording, and you're currently on CPU, you might have better results with GPU based encoding. It's a bit more complicated to get in.

You could also look at your recording settings and see what you realistically need. For example, if you're recording every frame, maybe just opt to record 60fps or something like that

[scarlet steeple]

Stalker 2 is gonna melt my pc I feel like lol

[prisma anvil]

i hope thats coming to ps5

cuz by golly god i'm not gonna have the pc for that

[scarlet steeple]

You're right about that too. Thank you again, I'm gonna try to fiddle with it and DM you if u don't mind later on

[solar tinsel]

Yeah that's fine, I may not respond right away, but go for it

[scarlet steeple]

Idk :( but yes it looks so nice lol

[prisma anvil]

i mean, not like any of the previous games ran any well on my pc either......oh x ray engine....how i love and hate you

[hazy sun]

imo its not worth getting into CPU based recording anymore if dont have an NVENC capable card. unless you have secondary pc.

[copper fulcrum]

You can see the bones

[scarlet steeple]

Oh embark. Try the matrix demo on the ps5, omggggg so pretty

[prisma anvil]

i have, and yes, i have ascended....

[copper fulcrum]

Just like...

Me, I'm pretty as hell

[scarlet steeple]

I hope that's a real game some day. I played on my 48 OLED and cried

[solar tinsel]

Yeah I would assume that would be the case, but I also don't know the ratio of how much games use GPU vs CPU to be honest. If there is headroom on the GPU though, then I can see that being a better option

[copper fulcrum]

Isn't there an Embark Studios?

[arctic grove]

why i cant control flysuit?

[prisma anvil]

maybe

[copper fulcrum]

Have you tried using WASD or the left stick?

[hazy sun]

the thing about that is 5% gpu usage and minimal performance degradation, vs CPU which using threads for anything can drastically affect your game performance, its simply not worth it if you have NVENC or something in that vein

[solar tinsel]

definitely

Or hey, find an app that records ProRes and just barely use your system resources, and just fill up massive hard drives 😆
(Actually not a terrible idea if someone plans to edit with it later - but the storage demands would be high)

[arctic grove]

it does not work, on keyboard, cant control wingsuit at all

[frigid juniper]

Clownfield 2042 lol

[solar tinsel]

Makes me wonder, why the heck is the wingsuit using the LS/WASD and not RS/mouse? 😆

[prisma anvil]

legit right, i spent about 5 hours looking at textures, and holy god the static textures are amazing....like signs, building designs, trashcans, roads, gods, i was in their face and could see no aa effects, blockiness, like dude, thats some legit shit, even tho i found some rooms which didnt make any sense and a lot of buildidngs clipping into each other

[solar tinsel]

I still have to download it. That said, I feel like a full game like that is hard to do. It's probably so good looking since it's such a small slice

[arctic grove]

How do i exit flying plane, and how do I control wingsuit?on pc

[solar tinsel]

The more it expands, I bet the more that can go wrong 😆

[prisma anvil]

true, will still encourage you to try it out

[solar tinsel]

I intend to!

[prisma anvil]

its still a tech demo in the end, but might come to fruition in a few years,

[arctic grove]

How do I stop flying the fucking wingsuit?

[solar tinsel]

Should be crouch bind

[copper fulcrum]

Should be crouch

[prisma anvil]

hit the ground, thats one way

[arctic grove]

While flying, how do i drop free?

[copper fulcrum]

You know it says how to control the wingsuit on the right hand side of your screen unless you turned off button prompts

[solar tinsel]

Yeah or do like what I do, and for some reason hit crouch right before I land and therefore die from fall damage 😆

[sturdy prism]

Did anyone else saw falcks with an orange and white skin

[copper fulcrum]

We literally said "crouch" twice to you.

[dapper river]

Last night I think I may have gotten kicked by an admin in an official AOW breakthrough server for talking mad shit to my losing team that was complaining they were about to lose

okay it wasn't mad shit I was just saying "don't care" and "cope +ratio", the usual shit. Then my screen went black and the loading icon popped up and I was spat out to the main menu with zero warning. It's a conspiracy!

[prisma anvil]

hmmm.. i wanna actually head on collide into a building at full speed and see if she survives

[clear frigate]

Hello

[copper fulcrum]

You actually get hurt if you hit a wall with them at high speeds

[scarlet steeple]

Yah I mean it's a good framework I guess. I just was impressed with ps5 seeing it (just got my ps5 2 weeks ago)

[arctic grove]

oh ty

[prisma anvil]

i mean, that should kill you but i see why it doesnt

[chrome obsidian]

Clownfield 2042 coming out at the end of december wooooooooooooooooo

[prisma anvil]

it is, ue5 is showing some real promise, first that epic games tech demo, now this, damn

[arctic grove]

i am in game as well, so did not saw ur mesages

[solar tinsel]

Probably do, I think the reason why I die is when I let go of the wingsuit, Im now In a normal fall at insane speeds. I feel like if you're still in wingsuit mode you get a stronger protection against fall damage. You still get hurt, but usually won't die. I'm just a dum dum

[arctic grove]

What edpi u guys reccomend? I play 1600 with 15 Vertical. how and should I set ads sens higher?

[trim surge]

i saw the playercount spike today then i went on steam today and found out the game is for free for others to try

[arctic grove]

You should change ur sens so you can turn 180* with 1/4 second

[arctic grove]

That fast?

[solar tinsel]

AND by the way I have to chime in. A perfect example of why 30fps games, or at least games WITH 30fps options, aren't going away

[prisma anvil]

ahhh....careening towards the ground at near terminal velocities, fun times

[arctic grove]

How much do u use? What dpi and ingame sens?

[prisma anvil]

again 30 fps is fine for story games, but not fps games, fps should be standard 60...with servers to match it offcourse

[arctic grove]

Idk just change it high

[solar tinsel]

I definitely don't disagree, but there are some people who feel that 30fps has no place in any game ever regardless. I do think with story/cinematic/photorealistic games, 30fps is a great fit, both to get closer to cinema frame rates, and just to push visuals to extremes.

Although to the 30fps critics' credit, I think all games should at least let you choose now

[arctic grove]

I tried Gta5 on ps5 and immediately uninstalled when I saw game plays like 15 fps

[solar tinsel]

GTA5's PS5 version didn't come out yet, right?

I can't say I follow it since I haven't played GTA5 since the end of my time on the 360, which is forever ago now. But I thought it didn't come out yet

[prisma anvil]

i mean its more to do with progression of technology, you cant deny that the jump from 30 to 60 is way more prominent and noticeable, any games really following the cinematic experience can go with 30 for the "experience" but in general for the industry, we should be putting 60 as the standard.....will say tho, story games, especially on console should have the max graphics at 30 thing

[solar tinsel]

I'm primarily an advocate for user choice, but yeah, I think all games (even story/cinematic ones) should have at least a 60fps option in this day and age. I definitely agree that a 30 to 60 jump is hugely noticeable and is a standard most folks should expect to have made as an option.

That said, as long as marketing games exist, 30fps will still be around, even if it's for the sole fact of being able to show off games that look good in ads. (Like Battlefield 2042's reveal / cinematic trailers, for example!)

[prisma anvil]

i mean, easier to edit with less frames, pushing more graphical fidelity, offcourse it isnt going away

[solar tinsel]

I was warning people that 2042 was never going to look as good as it did in the trailers. They were 30fps for a reason 😆

[prisma anvil]

huh, no shit, the shit made to order, tailored to look its best, is not representative of normal everyday gameplay?...what a surprise..

[arctic grove]

no it didnt it will be on march somewhere

[solar tinsel]

I even feel bad for the editors who had to cut the gameplay trailers. Imagine cutting around all of the bugs from the game THAT far back? In that state? Yikes 😆

[vale quarry]

You can. Play it for free this weekend on steam.

[copper fulcrum]

OW! FUCK

[radiant echo]

no Contact the @clear spade

[copper fulcrum]

Then that's a mod mail thing

i mean, more mods hear you

[dull badger]

If you have a report, send it to ModMail. Moderators do not respond to DM reports. ModMail is the appropriate place to handle reports

[copper fulcrum]

So you wanna DM a mod trainee to report a moderator?

[clever iris]

I love running bf 2042 on 25 fps witha gtx 1050 ti lmao, gtx 1050ti had its glory days but now its tired to the new triple a games

[dull badger]

You can also report a moderator through ModMail if you feel you need to.

[unique oyster]

Anyone has both series x and s is it worth it

[clever iris]

its the newest consoles so yea?

[unique oyster]

I feel like I’ll need a console since upgrading pc is super expensive here

[arctic grove]

I ordered one

[clever iris]

pc market is all over rn (or gpus)

[dull badger]

you can just report to modmail with any question regarding the server

[unique oyster]

And I’m getting series x anyways next year or two

Thinking of getting a series s for now

[clever iris]

@unique oyster if you get series s, get gamepass

[tiny imp]

When you play BF1 and BF V Pacific and compare with BF 2042.
You will feel a real big different. BF1 and BF V have a real Battlefield atmosphere.

BF 2042 feels like a rotten tomato.

[unique oyster]

I have gamepass ultimate already

[clever iris]

nice

[clever iris]

idk if you havent seen the "pattern" idk if you were here at bf v launch

[unique oyster]

Most of the pc games optimisation is garbage these days

[grave prism]

god they should just unlock all the 2042 content in portal its so dogshit with no progress on attachment

[arctic grove]

how do i play solo mission, not co op?

[clever iris]

it was also clunky, now bf v is pretty good

[copper fulcrum]

Just don't invite anyone and bam

[arctic grove]

i did not, i auto que

[copper fulcrum]

Solo & Co-Op doesn't matchmake you with anyone

[unique oyster]

It forces me to co op

[copper fulcrum]

There is no co-op matchmaking at all

[unique oyster]

Which is why I’m not able to play all our warfare

[copper fulcrum]

Solo & Co-Op puts you into a match with just you and if there's anyone in your 'party'

[unique oyster]

Portal had one server with 30 players
Game is fun

[tiny imp]

But why they never learn? Why do we have to wait for one more year after release until is will be a good game?

I mean:
end rounds music while you playing BF 1 and BFV are priceless.

BF 2042 have nothing.

[copper fulcrum]

2042's music is very future dystopian while BF1's and Vs are orchestral

[tiny imp]

BF 2042 official soundtrack are real dogshit. I

[copper fulcrum]

Honestly I enjoy Kaleidoscope's theme
https://youtu.be/xS22M8SGAM8

[grave prism]

dont care go somewhere else

[uncut bay]

i like the soundtrack for the most part, it just sounds like it was made with the lore in mind, rather than the game

[foggy crest]

yep its bad

[copper fulcrum]

Kaleidoscope's theme sounds like distant sirens racing to evacuate the rest of Songdo for the fight ahead, it's really nice.

And there are signs talking about mandatory evacuation scattered on the map

[arctic grove]

wait does playing the solo games in 2042 rank up your weapon?

like against the ai

[arctic grove]

it unlocks ur attachments

yeah that's what i meant, thanks

at least it did for me so far,but ur account levels slow or not at all

[copper fulcrum]

The fucking conspiracy radios are hilarious in this game tho

[arctic grove]

can everybody tell me their mouse dpi and ingame sens?

[median cipher]

It’s becoming offensive how bad this game is.

[radiant prism]

Ok

[copper fulcrum]

What a time to be alive!

[radiant prism]

Still fun

[copper fulcrum]

yes 👍

Your shield is no match for my C5 tho

[radiant prism]

yes 👍

[noble ruin]

"That was too easy!"

[bold meadow]

You need Gordon Ramsay for that kind of cutting

[copper fulcrum]

How the fuck does someone with the name of "Lo Wang" not use themselves for that joke?

[junior zodiac]

how can i use my 2042 trial installation on EA play in the steam free weekend?

[copper fulcrum]

Dishonor!

[bold meadow]

My long lost brothers name is hung lo

[copper fulcrum]

I know that.

[junior zodiac]

is this possible?

[uncut bay]

you can't, they're two separate installs

[arctic grove]

Why can't we chose servers like we could with previous bf games. We could chose the server with the current map that we wanted and so on

[pearl path]

the technology no longer exists

[torpid shuttle]

Now positive score on Steam is change from 34% to 33% already.

[arctic grove]

Well that sucks

When is the scoreboard coming? Or stats

[arctic grove]

that's a legacy feature.

[uncut bay]

"don't worry, it's just review bombing, it'll go up soon!"

[junior zodiac]

when dice decides so

[arctic grove]

how do i equip a parachute?

[dapper river]

stats? lol

scoreboard? Now I wouldn't mind that. I want a squad menu first though, and an AOW server browser and servers that stay together instead of breaking up after every match.

[junior zodiac]

i want this game to be good, i loved my 10hr trial, but i can see why people hate it.

All i hope is that dice improves this

[compact wasp]

[radiant prism]

Press jump while falling

[hidden sand]

Its hilarious to me that people call steam reviews review bombing, when, until yesterday, you had to buy the game in order to review it.

[arctic grove]

in menu

my agent has the wingsuit, i need to change to parachute

[radiant prism]

I call it review bombing when 90% of the complaints are 1 star reviews over nitpicky issues

[dapper river]

DICE: releases barely functional game

DICE LA: "ah shit, here we go again"

[radiant prism]

You have to select a different specialist, Sundance doesn’t have a parachute

[junior zodiac]

yep, from what ive heard its common for this to happen with BF releases

atleast from what i can see from the patch notes they are trying to adress the issues

[arctic grove]

None of my agents has the parafoil

[radiant prism]

Just the patches we’ve gotten thus far have massively improved things tbh

[dapper river]

Not sure if it was the case with BF1 or BFV tho. BFV was ass at launch for sure, and BF4 was worse than 2042 in terms of rubberbanding and disconnects and hitreg.

[junior zodiac]

im new to the BF series

[radiant prism]

They all have it by default.

[foggy crest]

i am glad this game reviews is negative so the next game will not like this

[arctic grove]

Aa, ty

[junior zodiac]

all i want rn is a server browser

[languid bramble]

how can I donwload bf4 expansion trough the ea ?

[drifting stone]

Yeah the only issues really are the specialists, which EA don’t really want to change.

[radiant prism]

BF4, BFV, and BF1 all had this same issue more or less. DICE LA has scoliosis from how hard they had to carry BF4

[junior zodiac]

as a south african g a m e r i basically dont have breakthrough servers

[uncut bay]

yeah that's what i was hoping for. Nothing hurts more than bad steam reviews, hopefully they learn something from it

[dapper river]

Yes but why can't they make a satisfactory game the first time?

and this is certainly not the first time lol

[arctic grove]

What specialist do u guys reccomend? The one that recovers armor faster, or the one that has - explosive dmg?

[junior zodiac]

i love sundance because w i n g s u i t

[drifting stone]

Dozer, shield go shield

[radiant prism]

This is standard procedure for BF titles unfortunately.

Everyone hates the game for the first few months due to issues, though the core is more or less promising, which steadily improves. BF games generally age well over time.

[steady estuary]

like fine wine 🍷

[radiant prism]

BF is like a fine wine, the more time it’s had to go through the ringer the better it is. No one should be shocked that 2042 launched rocky.

[foggy crest]

because fanboys will keep on preordering and defending

[gusty jasper]

Even if this game gets consistent patches, the core design choices of this game are permanently fucked

[dapper river]

Angel and falk if you wanna run around reviving people, Casper is good if you want to chill in the back and spot dudes with your drone and farm easy kill assists, and the others I can't say because i haven't played them all enough. It's nice that no specialist is AWFUL or BROKEN OP.

except Rao, who the hell plays as Rao?

[radiant prism]

I’ve played as Rao for a little while actually, he’s kinda fun as a vehicle buster

[arctic grove]

i think i will come back to 2042 someday and hope they actually fix it up or w/e

[somber glade]

Anyone’s specialist not saying leave me alone anymore when choosing to die when knocked down?

Just no audio at all when I hold x to die

[languid bramble]

why does my ea app crash every time I try to donwload bf4 dlc

[arctic grove]

How to level up fast? I played a lot of solo q games, and barely any exp

[uncut bay]

farm with casper drone

[arctic grove]

Granted, i left all my games, before they were over

[radiant prism]

Just gotta keep grinding unless you wanna be a little bitch and kill farm on a bot server or something lol

I’ve gotten to roughly level 90 by playing on and off only on MP

[iron blade]

God damn these voicelines are literally driving me up the wall. Who fucking accepted these?! How did it get from semi-gritty voicelines to “aNgEl DoEs It AgAiN!1!” https://youtu.be/Kg9BCt2loBw

[dapper river]

Don't be sad, this is just how it works out sometimes.

[iron blade]

“tHaT wAs SoMeThInG rIgHt?1!?1”

[arctic grove]

well well that was fun

[iron blade]

“iM rEaDy FoR rOuNd TwO!1!1

[radiant prism]

Aside from those EOR voice lines, the actual in game lines are pretty solid IMO

[dapper river]

EZ in, EZ Aut :)

[boreal jasper]

totally offtopic but i found my high school bully is really obese now. good times.

[stiff spruce]

“tHaT wAs SoMeThInG rIgHt?1!?1”

[iron blade]

Imo bf1, bf3, and even bfv voicelines shit all over 2042s

[dapper river]

"Celiest!!!" -boris, spouting unintelligible gibberish as usual

[arctic grove]

in score table, what does the skull, the joined hands ,and the right side icon means?

[iron blade]

How did it get from a literal PTSD simulator with soldiers crying in despair for their enemies to stop firing to “WELL WELL WELL THAT WAS FUN!”

[dapper river]

BF3 Marine chatter was goated

BC2 was good for that too

[gusty jasper]

oh no no

[iron blade]

Skull means kills. The hands mean assists. And idk what the right one was, revives maybe?

[iron blade]

My guy hasnt seen the leaks lmfao

[gusty jasper]

BF1 Marine Chatter was fucking depressing

[dapper river]

I wish they kept the announcer voice in their native language like in 2142, BC1, and BC2. More immersive that way.

[junior zodiac]

the voice lines make 0 sense lore wise

from fighting to survive to "IM READY FOR ROUND 2"

[foggy crest]

i am with those guys who reviewed it negatively i cant tell u how much excited i was for this game man

[stable cosmos]

Hello everyone, I just recently bought 2042, and since then I have not been able to launch it. Is there any insight on this or is it out of our reach?

[junior zodiac]

whats your error?

[gusty jasper]

Same, I wish I can go back in time to when I used to defend this game before it came out

[dapper river]

the game and its marketing ate tonally confused

[stable cosmos]

I get a launch error (2) everytime I attempt the launch

[iron blade]

Exactly! Its supposed to be the literal end of the world with millions of refugees and countries collapsing. Do they even know what tf they are doing over there?!

[languid bramble]

I just played like bf4 for few mins and damn...graphic is not even close to bf2042...but shooting sound..explosion...destruction I just feel like its kinda better in bf4 ... I hope from time to time they will do the same with bf2042

[gusty jasper]

Not to mention, none of the maps have any war clutter

[junior zodiac]

ask that in #technology with the error

[iron blade]

https://youtu.be/aCHz3b4sb5M Like THIS is what voicelines should be

[stable cosmos]

thanks

[gusty jasper]

Well well well...

[crimson acorn]

6th time all my settings got reset fucking fantastic

[iron blade]

Well Bf4 came out in 2013 so of course the graphics are gonna be worse, and yea bf4 excels in the realms u said

[gusty jasper]

BF4 excells in art direction, not graphical fidelity

[iron blade]

Imo bf1s graphics are better than 2042

[dapper river]

It did look very pretty when it came out though. Those water shaders and deformation looked nice, massive leap over BF3's water.

[crimson acorn]

more detailed

[radiant prism]

BF1…you mean Brown™️ : the Game?

[dapper river]

There was green too

[iron blade]

Hell yeah boah! Patented PTSD sim

[languid bramble]

I agree,but I would add aswell that someone feels like type of bf2042 graphic is better then bf1 ... I think when it comes to bf1 graphic its more about preference ...If u know what I mean

[gusty jasper]

BFV graphics

[radiant prism]

BF1 is gritty and all, but it’s just washed out tbh

[iron blade]

Well if u look at different maps, like rupture, u have pretty reds and blues

[radiant prism]

It’s all dark and grey and brown. Even the colors that should pop just don’t

[uncut bay]

billions

[dapper river]

BF1 just didn't have shit to grind towards, I can't play gun dress-up in that game and I definitely don't want to play soldier dress-up unless the uniforms provided feel authentic and not a zoomer's idea of war

[gusty jasper]

Sinai Desert? Monte grappe?

[iron blade]

Well its ww1

[radiant prism]

I think people watched SPR and expect the world to instantly go greyscale the moment there’s a war on

When in reality that’s not really how it works most of the time

[gusty jasper]

The only map that was really washed out was the beta map, couldn't remember the name and the trench map

Asides from that, the maps popped out very well

[radiant prism]

The world is a colorful place, that doesn’t just instantly change the moment some people start popping off shots

[gusty jasper]

I mean it's literally stylized art direction

[radiant prism]

Just about every map in that games color pallete comes from some color that could conceivably be thrown up

[gusty jasper]

Sinai Desert

[radiant prism]

Brown, tan, hazy green, grey, maybe some orangish yellowish brown every so often

Obviously there’s a handful of exceptions, but they’re few and far between

[iron blade]

Well ww1 literally set europe ablaze with mud and destruction , of course its not gonna be sunshine and rainbows most of the time

[radiant prism]

And I know I’m nitpicking this right now, but frankly it’s better than me rambling about how god awful that game’s gameplay is

[dapper river]

reject modernity, revert to 1942 and BF2 where it was actually, literally BROWN: the game

[gusty jasper]

Agreed, gunplay sucked but tone was powerful in that game

[radiant prism]

Atmosphere is quite literally the only thing BF1 has going for it

[gusty jasper]

Also movement was a little boring

[prisma anvil]

"this is frontline combat, you are not meant to survive"..

[dapper river]

*expected to survive

[gusty jasper]

I would honestly take any Battlefield art direction over the bland ass lighting in 2042

[misty owl]

Not trying to be a dick but is portal dead already? can't find any friday night battlefield servers

[arctic grove]

Dude every server in this game is so laggy for no reasob like wtf

[gusty jasper]

Portal is dead for me as well

[prisma anvil]

ah yeah, expected...my b

[radiant prism]

Bland lighting? Are we playing the same game?

[gusty jasper]

Yes

[junior zodiac]

lighting is amazing

[prisma anvil]

still showed what truly was for that time, a depiction of hell for the world....

[gusty jasper]

The lighting and detail in 2042 is boring af

[radiant prism]

BF1 sucks at depicting WW1. All the atmosphere in that game means shit to me when it looks as ridiculous as it was

[radiant prism]

I guess that’s a matter of opinion, personally I feel the game looks great in most places, though I would agree it could be better in others

[scarlet steeple]

More genital talk

[short dome]

No game depicts war properly, its a game

[gusty jasper]

I will say Renewal is the most visually striking imo but a lot of areas on the map are barren af

[junior zodiac]

the lighting is outstanding and looks unreal. Most maps have high detail and really good textures

[radiant prism]

Then people need to stop pretending BF1 does that.

[gusty jasper]

"high detail"

[short dome]

I agree with this

[gusty jasper]

Please compare siege of Shanghai to Kaleidoscope

[short dome]

Fanboys just wana shit on the game any possible way they can

[prisma anvil]

i mean its no verdun, but it did what it set out to do, give a glimpse into the hell those people went into and most likely never reutrned from all the while designing a primarily fun game around that concept

[arctic grove]

yo

[frank stratus]

Well

[gusty jasper]

No, I just don't think the art direction in this game is interesting at all

[arctic grove]

why did @wise zodiac say that we should head here?

[short dome]

Next we'll be hearing complaints on how many blades of grass per square inch per map volume

[wide shore]

BF1 was a perfect WWI Battlefield game.

[junior zodiac]

high details in terms of graphical fidelity and collision. The maps do feel very open and miles of plain grass sometimes though

[frank stratus]

Ye xero said to come here so whats cracking here

[arctic grove]

yeah whats going on up here guyssssss

WAIT I GOT A IDEA, you guys wanna hear it?

[gusty jasper]

Sure yes, fidelity wise, 2042 is objectively better but density/clutter detail/stylism is lacking. Most likely due to performance constraints

[frank stratus]

[placid coral]

Yeah the massive wide open areas seam really pointless especially when half the team has to run to the OBJ

[wise zodiac]

[placid coral]

No cover either

[junior zodiac]

i 100% agree with this. The maps are big just to be big. There is no real cover or sights in a lot of areas of the map. You cant lie the game looks really good though graphics wise

[radiant prism]

Pretty shit glimpse if you ask me. It’s like asking Michael Bay to direct They Shall Not Grow Old

[gusty jasper]

Sure

[placid coral]

The graphics are dope and the analytics are nice it’s really just the maps and where they decided to put objectives

Also jet flying is max weird and looks weird from the ground

[radiant prism]

There’s definitely some netcode things that need fixing

[prisma anvil]

i mean, it ultimately falls on what they set out to make, a realistic experience?..or a fun one?.....it was fun, ie, some realism had to be chucked in the bin....but what they made was great, visuals, audio, models, weapons, vehicles, the ingame lore

[gusty jasper]

I personally value art direction over fidelity. For instance, Team Fortress 2 is barely graphically complex but the style makes it look better than some modern titles

[iron blade]

Bf1 was literally what the devs thought ww1 couldve been, in other words, its not meant to be 100% historically accurate

[languid bramble]

anyone having problem with ea app?

[blissful prawn]

the hats got too crazy

[arctic grove]

Super idol

[iron blade]

Is the history in Bf1? Damn right it is! But u have to remember, its a video game, of course its not gonna hit every note in the history spectrum. As long as the basis of the history is there, everything is of the time period, and its FUN then congrats u made a damn good game

[daring pawn]

I just had 5 people run past me while I was down (2 of them being medics)

[radiant prism]

I’m sorry, I just can’t get immersed in a game where I parachute out of a Russian heavy bomber as a British soldier into the Sinai desert with a gold plated experimental Austrian sub machine gun and shoot an ottoman soldier holding an American Thompson prototype after he climbs out of a French tank. Basis of history my ass

[gusty jasper]

Yeah to an extent

[arctic grove]

how do i ping?

[gusty jasper]

That's just games nowadays, cosmetics overtime just kill the artstyle and it's inevitable

Look at R6 in 2015 and then look at it now

[arctic grove]

Xue Hua Piao 🙏Piao Xiao

[radiant prism]

It wasn’t overtime, that level of stupidity was present pretty much from the getgo

[iron blade]

Well what would rather want? Sit in a trench doing nothing, ur pummeled by artillery all the time, and if u go into no mans land ur basically dead. Does that sound fun to you?

[gusty jasper]

Which game

[radiant prism]

Literally Verdun.

[radiant prism]

BF1

[gusty jasper]

If you're talking about authenticity, I feel that's a different lane but BF1 kept a consistent style imo

[radiant prism]

Verdun does what BF1 should have done. It remains mostly faithful to how the war was actually fought, while also remaining accessible and throwing in some more “out there” options that make the game a bit more fun than just bolty spam

[toxic stratus]

[iron blade]

Then play verdun. BF1 doesnt try to be accurate, so stop acting like it is. BF1 doesnt get everything right, but the basis of history is there with the campaign, codex, operation lore, etc

[arctic grove]

game crashed 2nd time in 1 hr

[prisma anvil]

yep, that isnt historically accurate, but is it fun?...yes, i rest my case, like you said, verdun is there for the historically accurate folk, but in terms of tone, overall feel, bf1 had the serious ww1 vibe to it. it did take libereties for the sake of fun, which any arcade has to

[gusty jasper]

I feel like for a battlefield game they kinda had to sacrifice adding in prototype guns to compensate for the lack of content with normal WW1 weaponry

[arctic grove]

and half my screen in black

[gusty jasper]

Which is fine imo

[arctic grove]

bf 2042 is randomly crashiong, any fixes?

[gusty jasper]

Customization was still ass tho

[harsh plover]

jj

[iron blade]

If that was the case then Bf1 would be hated. They had to make sacrifices with the gameplay to make it FUN, they had a LOT to live up to with the shit in past BF games

[foggy crest]

yeah play something else is the fix right now

[prisma anvil]

true

[gusty jasper]

Variant simulator

[arctic grove]

Does anybody else has this issue?

[radiant prism]

The basis is there, but gets completely lost in the actual gameplay experience. The thing is, I don’t actually knock BF1 (that much) for being the way that it is, and actually believe it does work to the games benefit. The problem I have is the fact that many other people don’t acknowledge that and hoist it up as some pinnacle of immersion or something, when it’s frankly an abhorrent depiction of the war.

[iron blade]

I mean they didnt have any customization of weaponry during ww1, so its sorta acceptable

[foggy crest]

what issue this game doesn't have ?

[gusty jasper]

Ofc, it's just one of those compromises... Vanguard on the other hand...

[radiant prism]

Yet BF1 has gold plated guns AND vehicles.

[exotic scroll]

They removed the BF3 and BC2 VOICE LINES from PORTAL..... YOU FUCKING YELLOW MONKEY DICE!

[radiant prism]

Not to mention red dot sights lol

[gusty jasper]

Nah some of them are still there

some

[iron blade]

Once again, they HAD to make sacrifices for realism to make it FUN, BF1 isnt meant to be a ww1 milsim, the devs said themselves Bf1 is a vision of what ww1 could have been. Although the game doesn’t portray ww1 correctly, it damn sure does immerse yourself in what it is trying to portray

[arctic grove]

WTFF. Half of my screen went black, after bf 2042 crash

[iron blade]

And with the back to basic mode, u can truly immerse urself in a SORTA accurate ww1 setting

[gusty jasper]

#technology may help

[iron blade]

May I suggest to u Bf4, Bf1, or any other game. Ur not gonna find too much pleasure in playing 2042 tbh

[radiant prism]

Let me reemphasize, my problem isn’t inaccuracy. My problem is people touting faux accuracy when it isn’t there. I absolutely agree that BF1 had to make sacrifices, but people need to stop calling it what it isnt.

[jolly pelican]

Anyone else having textures all over the screen in 2042?

[iron blade]

I can sorta agree on that, BF1 is no where near the idol of ww1 shooters.

[gusty jasper]

It's arcadey fun with a gritty atmosphere and that's all

[iron blade]

But damn, there isnt anything better to get the blood pumping than this in bf1 https://youtu.be/85bGxQjfENE

[foggy crest]

bro what is the meaning of your name is it " monarchs of ancient Egypt "

[gusty jasper]

King of Egypt bro

[jolly pelican]

Anyone else having textures all over the screen in 2042?

[foggy crest]

cool man Pharaoh

[gusty jasper]

cool man electronic channel

[foggy crest]

👀

[gusty jasper]

[arctic grove]

Im actually sad

[gusty jasper]

Why are you sad

[arctic grove]

No Santa Boris this holiday

[prisma anvil]

arent we all buddy

[gusty jasper]

Oh nvm

[iron blade]

g o o d

[arctic grove]

Might as well add the christamas tree Casper

[iron blade]

I actually liked that one

[prisma anvil]

can i turn rao into a reindeer?

[arctic grove]

I mean now that bf will be a live service hero shooter might as well embrace the fortnite skins

My game crashed a lot of time during co op games, what if there is a multiplayer?

[foggy crest]

i like this one more

[gusty jasper]

We've hit the last stage of DABDA

Acceptance

[prisma anvil]

i've accepted it, but the pain doesnt go away, what to do?

[gusty jasper]

Accept it more, that is coping

You must not cope, you must become stronger

[arctic grove]

Yeah after considering all that EA and Vince had said. I learned to accept Bf will be following the Cod way. Every year a new bf game with live service, microtransactions.

[gusty jasper]

It's honestly whatever, I just hope BF4 servers stay online for longer

I wish hardline was still alive mane...

That was legit my favorite battlefield gameplay wise, so many improvements from 4

[iron blade]

Mark my words, BF1 is the last true BF experience

[arctic grove]

HL was underrated. i wish they added bots to play the dlc maps.

[hidden sand]

Just to put into perspective the likelihood of it staying alive, BF2 had 6 full servers the other day

[arctic grove]

I agree completely. Bf4 was the last good modern war bf.

[gusty jasper]

But hardline has literally none

[hidden sand]

Yeah unfortunately

[iron blade]

Also wtf do u mean man, my great grandpa told me stories of doing that shit along with taking down a zeppelin with a kolibri

[zealous horizon]

fuck me did mackay ADS move speed get superbuffed?? i just accidentally spawned as him and its crazy

[gusty jasper]

Man that game's knife animations were sick af too

Especially the arresting ones

[arctic grove]

Guys why was i b0rn

[gusty jasper]

Because you are pog and don't let anyone tell you otherwise

[junior zodiac]

all i hope is that this game gets better and people actually enjoy it

[iron blade]

Im a Bf1 fanboy so imma say Bf1 had the best melee animations. I mean u cant get as brutal as literally clubbing someones face in, them rolling onto their back in pain and fear, and u literally stomping their ribcage in

[gusty jasper]

Yeah BF1 takes the cake for takedowns

[arctic grove]

A wh0lesome reply on the bf disc0rd

A glitch in the matrix

[iron blade]

Bullshit BF discord ain’t wholesome

[gusty jasper]

Yeah and go fuck yourself

[arctic grove]

ok.

Back to normal 😂 👍

[gusty jasper]

Sorry, that was not pog of me

I hope we can be friends again.

[foggy crest]

and best battlefield game is infinite warfare

[arctic grove]

Dw it was a glitch

[gusty jasper]

Yeah I'm in early access

[arctic grove]

👍 👍 🅱️riewinths

[arctic grove]

Ahmmmmm👀

Hnmmmmmmm

[gusty jasper]

Best battlefield game was Play 4 Free

[dapper river]

No commander mode, it's not a true BF experience

[arctic grove]

Does Hipfire Accuracy, also increases accuracy during ADS?

🍔

[cosmic atlas]

Did they only increase the recoil to the pp?

[daring pawn]

[rustic dome]

what's the best AR rn?

[iron blade]

Motto of the Bf discord-

“Dude literally shut the fuck up. You suck so badly, ur mom doesnt love u. Ur opinion doesnt matter. Dont care didnt ask + ratio + skill issue + cope harder + seethe + counter ratio + blocked + ur white + blocked”

[arctic grove]

What is best to go for? Vertical or horizontal recoil? PBX-45 best attach?

[neon iris]

Any idea why my messages aren't appearing in chat in game?

[iron blade]

None, but the ak12 is good

[uncut bay]

if the weapon has high H recoil you want to reduce it, since it's harder to control. If it has little/no H recoil then you want to reduce V recoil

[rustic dome]

since they poo pood the pp, I gotta grind an AR now

[arctic grove]

What about for pbx-45?

[uncut bay]

use it and figure out if it has H recoil, i don't know them off by heart

[neon iris]

Any idea why my messages aren't appearing in chat in game?

[iron blade]

Idk is ur chat off

[neon iris]

I can see other peoples

[arctic grove]

It's still a great game

[neon iris]

Just not mine

[weak vector]

The game is 34% off on steam and I'm still waiting on a bigger sale

I could definitely try it since it's on a free weekend though, but I hope it goes down to like...75% or more, soon lol

[arctic grove]

Try it

That is why I play rn, to try it, while waiting for at least a 50% sale

[weak vector]

They have Rush right now I heard, so I'm going to give it a try. 34% off in its current, unfinished state isn't worth it imo

[lime crystal]

Can i ban manifest & kawaidoscope from matchmaking...

[cloud leaf]

Battlefield 2042 Free Weekend ends December 22
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1517290/Battlefield_2042/

[round crow]

What they need to do is bring back close quarters TDM, DOM, Squad Dm etc

[gusty jasper]

Who played squad deathmatch

[round crow]

I want a fucking brake from conquest

[gusty jasper]

I do agree there needs to be more base modes in AOW

[round crow]

Alot of people did it was very fun in bf3

Anyone trying to run on PS5

[gusty jasper]

ahh I guess I never really got into it, felt very foreign

[undone bone]

Even just CQC & TDM would be a nice treat ngl

[round crow]

Yes

I mean im happy I can now play conquest 64 because 128 is too much

[gusty jasper]

What about a server browser too? So I don't have to play on dogshit maps like kaleidoscope and Hourglass

[timber ingot]

bro how do people lvl up so quick

[round crow]

You can't find enemies because of how big the map was

[arctic grove]

Is that in 5 days? Also, first LMG u get at lv 3, what attachs for it?

[arctic grove]

Make high kill rounds and play everyday

[gusty jasper]

Kaleidoscope I think is just the worst map in the entire franchise

[undone bone]

Meh, 128 definitely has its downfalls as there's times where you feel like there's 100% nothing you can do. But I find it also creates lots of opportunities for gameplay scenarios that feel pre badass and not many other games, especially for console, can replicate.

[gusty jasper]

128 sucks for that fact that you cannot control whether you win or lose a game.

It's a dice roll and your impact as a squad is meaningless

[round crow]

I agree to a certain extent but 64 is where it's at 128 is just too much

[cedar sandal]

This is why all game modes suck compared to hazard zone

[gusty jasper]

64 was perfectly fine

[round crow]

Well most people don't play the objective

[undone bone]

All it takes is 1 or 2 good squads on a team to potentially turn the game in a team's favor imo. People just under estimate the power of premade squads with good skill'd players

[gusty jasper]

That's the map design fault

[arctic grove]

You can if your not infantry

[gusty jasper]

[undone bone]

Isn't a specific to 2042 statement tbh

It's such a common bf occurrence there's an Easter egg in 2042 about people needing to play the objective.

[gusty jasper]

Because trying to capture an objective as a single squad is the equivalent of playing cod zombies, it's even more encouraged to just play for kills

And solo gadget use, it's why Sundance is so popular

[arctic grove]

What’s so funny

[gusty jasper]

Nothing, it's true

[cedar sandal]

The reason Sundance is popular is because Sundance is probably the best specialist in the game.

[gusty jasper]

also map size, no one wants to wait for vehicle call in

[undone bone]

I feel like bf would do well with an adapted comp mode. As it would encourage users to work together more. And it's been shown that extensive ping systems can be just as useful for early~mid comp play as mics

[cedar sandal]

If you have a squad of 4 working together, you can't go wrong with 4 Sundances

[gusty jasper]

Domination 8v8

[arctic grove]

Yeah well of course what you wanna do as infantry against 50 infantry 6 people in tank and 6 other in helicopters

[cedar sandal]

Hazard zone

[undone bone]

I never played dom in BF's

[undone bone]

I personally dislike hz

[wide shore]

Only domination is really messed with was conquest dom in BF3 close quarters

[undone bone]

I think 2042 could've had a better secondary mode tbh

[gusty jasper]

Hazard Zone is barely competitively viable

[cedar sandal]

If you want sweaty tryhard squads, it's hz or nothing

Before, they had squad rush, which was the competitive mode on BF3 but they killed that in BF4

[iron blade]

HZ gets boring after a couple rounds imo, perfect environment for specialists tho

[gusty jasper]

Squad rush and domination

obliteration is also fun in scrims, man bf4 had so much content

[cedar sandal]

Squad Rush was perfectly balanced for 4v4

[undone bone]

Dunno why but hazard zone's structure just seems to miss something that, as a comp mode, people would enjoy. It seems like it tries to be a BR without being a BR.

[gusty jasper]

Hazard Zone feels like an after thought and it is an after thought

[cedar sandal]

They built this game around hazard zone

[gusty jasper]

No, the game was built around BR

[undone bone]

Honestly just plays into people's speculation that 2042 was meant to be a BR game that was redone to be a semi-traditional bf ngl

[gusty jasper]

Hazard is the remnants of the BR mode

[cedar sandal]

You can tell everything from specialists to maps is around hazard zone. That's why the maps flow so well in hz.

The big open spaces around points of interest is balanced around the drops in hz

[gusty jasper]

Those theories were actually confirmed to be true based on Tom Henderson's dev timeline video, it's a good watch

[cedar sandal]

The tornado is basically the red zone in other BRs and it appears in every hazard zone match

[undone bone]

And don't get me wrong, I quite enjoy 2042's AoW gameplay. Albiet it could definitely use more content such as guns, skins, attachments etc. But hz should've been a full BR mode or discluded from the release product so devs could focus more on AoW + portal 2042 modes imo.

[cedar sandal]

The entire game is built around hazard zone which is why it's the mode that plays the best in this game with the most thought given to balance at release

[undone bone]

Should DM me the link, I'll watch it later tonight

[gusty jasper]

I don't like hazard zone because there's like no incentive to play or any exclusive rewards.

[arctic grove]

help plss

[cedar sandal]

LOL people would be so mad if they did that

[undone bone]

Ye, only thing I know of is profile cards, and the hz ones just aren't desirable unfortunately.

[cedar sandal]

Imagine if they locked attachments behind extracts. You must get 10 extracts to unlock scope. The whiners would go ballistic

[gusty jasper]

Not attachments

[cedar sandal]

I want them to put hz objectives in weekly missions

But I bet if they did, people would whine non stop

[undone bone]

I think doing something like exclusive attachment specific rare/legendary cosmetics would be beneficial.

[gusty jasper]

But skins or XP bonuses for playing

[arctic grove]

For LCMG attaches?

[undone bone]

Like didn't bfv have attachment specific cosmetics that were unlockable?

[cedar sandal]

Just make skins buyable with hazard zone credits

Problem solved lol

[undone bone]

Could just include a currency system, as it could be used to unlock further season's specialists as well as buying certain skins.

[cedar sandal]

(They won't do this because most of the community is too casual to play hazard zone)

[undone bone]

Like Hardline had for weapons n loadout stuffs

[gusty jasper]

Also the meta game is really weak, tarkov is interesting because there's a whole economy base outside of each match. It's extremely rewarding to loot anything in that game because you're essentially building a market

[cedar sandal]

Looting is the annoying part of tarkov which is why I'm glad they didn't have a big emphasis on that in hz.

[gusty jasper]

It's really cool how it's done, maybe in hazard zone you could've had a customizable barrack that you see in the lobby screen

[raven yew]

This weekly challenge skin is pretty bad

[gusty jasper]

Where you can showcase all your loot and stuff

[cedar sandal]

I like that hazard zone is you just spawn with your entire loadout. The only loot that matters in hazard zone is the redeploy and Ranger call ins.

[gusty jasper]

Yeah like imagine more collectables but drives were a bonus

[cedar sandal]

(There are also latv call ins but that's a death trap)

[gusty jasper]

Like medicine, resources, supply packages, etc

[cedar sandal]

No i prefer that there isn't any serious looting

I don't want to loot. I just want to shoot people lol

[gusty jasper]

well not serious but an incentive to explore the map more

which then leads to interesting engagements

[cedar sandal]

You already have an incentive to take fights because there are only 8 squads. Every one you kill is one less to deal with at extract.

[arctic grove]

I hear c4 on drone remove soon this is true?

[cedar sandal]

And the more squads you kill, the more space you have to work with, and at the end, you can even start picking up drives

[radiant echo]

yeah true

[arctic grove]

Thanks goooood

[radiant echo]

Is it just me or I can't get used to say C5 at all 😅

[arctic grove]

@radiant echo nooow i can camp with wild cat

[radiant echo]

Yeah that'd do it

[gusty jasper]

But my point is goat, is that there is something clearly not latching onto players retention wise with Hz

[arctic grove]

😂

[gusty jasper]

and I am 100% positive it's the meta game or the looting aspect

[cedar sandal]

??? Lots of people are playing hazard zone

[gusty jasper]

Uhh...

[cedar sandal]

I only play the other modes to do the weekly missions.

I mean it takes maybe a few more seconds to get into a hazard zone game because you can't join in progress unlike aow but where do people get the idea that hazard zone is losing players faster than aow?!

[gusty jasper]

I'm gonna be honest with you, with any sort of community, content creation or discussion about this game... Hazard Zone is barely present

[iron blade]

It literally took me 10 minutes to find a match of HZ

[gusty jasper]

It's a very unpopular mode

[cedar sandal]

Wtf? It takes me about 20 seconds to get in game

[dapper river]

no..... it can't be. It can't be.

[cedar sandal]

Yeah that'd be because the community is mostly casual players.

[iron blade]

Yeah idk its dead on last gen already

[dapper river]

by extension it may also remove medkits/ammo boxes on drones. Damn it, damn it all to hell 😔

[raw breach]

wth i just cannot get a game on ps5 (cross play disabled). Tried Elf game - 4v2. Tried the bf2042 vs bf1942, 1v1. Tried 64p conquest - timed out waiting for players. Tried 64 p breakthrough and actually got 20v20....then next game was 6v6. 128p conquest wouldn't fire either

[steady prawn]

Sould I buy BF2042 on Origin or Steam? ping fpr answer pls :D

[gusty jasper]

But for a BR-esque mode, it has potential because I feel like specialists actually fit the premise of it more so than AOW

it could be great but without a doubt, the heaviest criticism is the retention aspect of it. Lots of players try it once or twice then never touch it again

[cedar sandal]

Oh maybe? I play on pc and I have crossplay on. It's basically instant games for me.

[raw breach]

cant get a hazard zone game on ps5 w/ crossplay disabled

[cedar sandal]

Yeah because it has a steep learning curve. I'm wagering most of those players who don't touch it again get rekt about 20 seconds into the game by their neighboring spawn.

[gusty jasper]

I mean so does Apex have a really steep curve but theres an element of Apex that gets people hooked y'know

[coarse hamlet]

Battlefield

[gusty jasper]

Even if they suck ass

[cedar sandal]

My first 5 or so games that kept happening to me. Now we do basically the same thing, we just rush the closest spawn, pin then down, and then have Sundance get us Rangers to push in

Well yeah hazard zone has a steeper learning curve than apex

[gusty jasper]

See? That coordination sounds sick

I think one improvement could be adding voice chat, for one

[cedar sandal]

I can see why it would be unenjoyable for people who are not in a team or people who aren't sweaty tryhards

Then again tarkov late game sucks for casuals too. Pre wipe numbers are basically non existent until they do events

[radiant echo]

Idk sometimes it's annoying

[gusty jasper]

Another, maybe finding weapon blueprints that allow you to unlock new weaponry as an extra layer of progression.

Like imagine how hype it would be to overtime get access to an insane sniper kit or something

It's the build up aspect of things like that to keep you hooked

[cedar sandal]

When everyone rolls thermal M14 drums that are recoil modded, the casuals disappear from tarkov.

Like I said they should fix the credit limit they have. And let people use that credit to buy cosmetics.

[dapper river]

it's fun as hell though when you're the one doing it

I love running counter-drone ops as well, fun to disable enemy drones and pop out of mine, shoot theirs, then continue flying mine to a target.

[cedar sandal]

Pretty silly how they cap credits at 100k. I reached that on day 3 of playing

[gusty jasper]

Well that's where my suggestion comes in with the Blueprint idea

[steady prawn]

?

[radiant echo]

yeah

[gusty jasper]

Idk just anything really, HZ was one of my most hyped modes

[dapper river]

You have to play through origin anyway if you buy on steam, so..

[median cipher]

What's the point of Dozer. Feels like he brings nothing to the table.

[steady prawn]

pls answer

[somber ginkgo]

I saw TDM on facebook post but not in game,why?

[gusty jasper]

Probably in portal

[ornate ginkgo]

I have better time with steam but its really up to you origin has to be downloaded to still play

[vale wadi]

Steam

[bleak maple]

I am really dissapointed about bf 2042 :(

[vale wadi]

Funky cock

[somber ginkgo]

guns not leveling in portal 😦
