battlefield-2042

[wise zodiac]

I like the buff they gave to the LCMG

[mental delta]

Huh ok, looks like I can even earn the power of respect so

[arctic grove]

@mental delta kinda like rush, but only 1 mcom and two squads. Winner of 6 matches

[prisma anvil]

i mean thats tom saying it, so its not official, plus, if you think that sales were that good wouldnt they have been lauding that fact everywhere?..." best selling bf since bf3"...has a nice ring to it,

[arctic grove]

Search and destroy kinda

[mental delta]

But no revive ?

[versed dirge]

No worries @proper latch

[frosty gorge]

LCMG isnt too bad due to its slightly slower ttk, but pkp kills so quick with 0 recoil

[arctic grove]

@mental delta you can revive but no redeploy till match is over

[fierce gull]

what a time to be alive

[mental delta]

Yes that's it, tbh that is the reason I didn't play it, I don't like r6 so this gamemode wasn't made for me

[prisma anvil]

gods that thing was first bfv trailer level cringe and odd

[rocky cedar]

Hey, regarding the PKP and guns you're killed with I made a video https://youtu.be/K7NDFDyb9W8 Its my 666 deaths and what guns killed me the most. There are stats for each gun PRE and POST patch#2. I'm doing a similar new video and see how MP9 and PKP are affected after a possible "normalization". Because the PKP is a gorram lazer gun with zero recoil. It is solely the gun I die most of nowadays.

[neat totem]

^ this guy fucks

[sullen inlet]

Im back after a month, any new content?

[wise zodiac]

If this is linking to your own channel, #streams-and-videos.

[neat totem]

pkp and mp9 are so broken it's hilarious, you have to be fucking mentally handicapped to not notice it

[rocky cedar]

Oh, okay. Sorry!

[neat totem]

so I guess EA needs some help figuring it out

[fierce gull]

people use the mp9?

[neat totem]

it's disgusting, I just got a 20-kill with it

[fierce gull]

seems more like a tdm gun

[frosty gorge]

Oh look at this totally random youtube video I found on the pkp https://youtu.be/K7NDFDyb9W8

[neat totem]

stop being blind and start playing the actual game in more than a battlefront game

[tame cobalt]

yes it's fire

[frosty gorge]

(sorry I had to)

[wise zodiac]

No worries. Just make sure you're posting content from your own channel in there.

[neat totem]

the mods in here also FYI are really "for EA" and pretty much spout some weird views or comments

[fierce gull]

time to use it

i normally use the SVK cuz it's two shots lmao

[tame cobalt]

it destroys at close range and has pretty good range for an smg. Easy to control

[wise zodiac]

I think that's generalizing a great bit.

[fierce gull]

better than the K30?

[neat totem]

no, I don't think I am considering most of the comments from the mod staff are 100% floaty "WELL SEE IDK LOOKS PROMISING" vibes

[frosty gorge]

I gotta say I love the mods in this discord so much more than the COD discord, legit got 12 hour mutes in that discord for saying to a kid, I quote "stop being stupid"

[tame cobalt]

k30 is better at close range but has worse range

[neat totem]

you think the population numbers are good? let's start with that one.

[prisma anvil]

i mean, theyre people. they can like a game

[fierce gull]

ah alright

[neat totem]

it's been 3 months, the game is 50% off, and do you subjectively think this was a good start for the franchise?

[violet sluice]

Not really. The mods here defend everything about this game lmao.

[tame cobalt]

Do you have the extended mag for mp9 tho? 😶

[fierce gull]

no

[neat totem]

see, it's pretty obvious and it's even more obvious when you see pictures of some of the people here colored in names at the HQs

[tame cobalt]

Good luck.

[frosty gorge]

I mean there was 2 mods here earlier saying they refuse to play the game now so not really defending it lol

[fierce gull]

bruh

[neat totem]

look, I've been to EA HQ, I tested for them several times, but I have no problem calling them out for this turd

[soft turtle]

anyone here played prototype 2

[slim quiver]

false

[tame cobalt]

You'll see what i mean

[fierce gull]

yeah lol there were mods that said they didn't like the game

[violet sluice]

There we're also mods earlier defending the lack of a server browser and how good it is for a modern game to not have one.

[neat totem]

^

[prisma anvil]

one mod

[slim quiver]

That doesn't speak for all of us lmao

[tame cobalt]

Cringe

[soft turtle]

BF2042 is shit for 7 months then makes a comeback, same shit as every battlefield

[slim quiver]

the mods aren't biased in any form

[neat totem]

I mean when I see most of the colored names vouching for "no anger stance" on the lack of a SCOREBOARD in an FPS, that's pretty shilly my dude

[prisma anvil]

literally one mod, and even he accepted that the cons of not having it might be more than its pros

[violet sluice]

It was an example. Let's see how many mods will defend the specialists, no scoreboard, no all chat, no voip, and terrible maps.

[foggy tundra]

while i enjoy 2042, i also have issues with 2042

[tame cobalt]

Scoreboard removal is a non-issue

[soft turtle]

can't blame you for that even tho I like the game

[neat totem]

let's see how mod's handle the years content in the battle pass, explain that one for me next fall

[frosty gorge]

everyone likes and dislikes certain things mod or no mod

[fierce gull]

I hope they add the person in ur pfp to 2042

[prisma anvil]

fucking this @frosty gorge

[tender folio]

[violet sluice]

This is very true. 🙂 I am not just attacking mods here.

[neat totem]

fyi I bought gold, so don't even hit me with that "troll" attitude, I even helped test

[fierce gull]

ok

[tame cobalt]

I hope they add the person in my pfp to 2042

[frosty gorge]

kinda kinky ngl

[neat totem]

this game is just a hot turd and the chances of EA flipping it is near absymal because of how much they've dug in about stupid shit like scoreboards and exp farming in an FPS.

[fierce gull]

that would be sick but would piss everyone off for not being realistic

[soft turtle]

I got that glitch where your down and you wait for a medic in third person, I got it in First person view instead

[prisma anvil]

uwu papi :3

[foggy tundra]

10/10 would play

[violet sluice]

How long until they split the small community apart with a map pack you have to buy?

[foggy tundra]

for shits and giggles

[slim quiver]

People are free to enjoy the game, it doesn't make them a shill lol

[prisma anvil]

[neat totem]

bro I've been afk for 40 minutes and I'm still in a game, the system doesnt even kick me out and lets me statpad servers

[frosty gorge]

I think most people can agree hiding stats in a FPS game is a stupid idea, I can understand why they do it, doesnt mean its the right call

[rocky cedar]

I don't much care for a public scoreboard. I would love to see my own development and where I'm going, and how I could possibly figure out how to get better. Though, I do appreciate the "stress" a public scoreboard creates for people to "succeed". But, we'd just have that much more quitters before the match comes to its end and results are cemented.

[slim quiver]

live service already confirmed everyone will have access to guns and map unlocks

[neat totem]

imagine an fps that lets you just log in, queue for a server, and I'll be in a game live for 4 hours 0-0-0

[slim quiver]

we would need a battlefield premium to go back to map packs etc

[neat totem]

this is just blatantly horrendous, shoddy, amateur coding/products here.

[violet sluice]

This may change as their monetization plans will have shifted due to the rough launch.

[slim quiver]

there is no evidence of monetization plans shifting

[tame cobalt]

Gigachad. He has no Specialist ability. His perk is invincibility

[neat totem]

literally not even AFK detection scripts in the code

[fierce gull]

would buy for $1000

[frosty gorge]

I hope they shift it... to a fucking f2p model already xD

[prisma anvil]

it probably wont for 22, but 23?....thats a whole new level of uncertainity

[violet sluice]

At this very moment? No there is not. We will see come battle pass time.

[slim quiver]

I dont tbh, thats the last thing I want

[tame cobalt]

2042 seasons hype

[fierce gull]

season 1 hype

[slim quiver]

season 1 is in march so i doubt they will be shifting any sort of monetization plan. They wont pull a "Just kidding"

[prisma anvil]

i mean we're not getting the premium model back anytime soon thats for sure

[rocky cedar]

They should hire people to log into matches and see if people are standing at the spawn, like there always are!

[tame cobalt]

Based

[dry wigeon]

if u dont like the game dont play it

[fierce gull]

I want canada map

[tame cobalt]

Pog

[violet sluice]

There would have to be as the player base has shrunk quite a bit since release.

[frosty gorge]

Game is gonna die if they dont, not many people can afford the games, basically quartering the playerbase for the sake of selling $60 copies instead of long term monetary gains

[slim quiver]

we also have no evidence of how far the player base has shrunk other than steam numbers

[fierce gull]

you know how they can bring 2042 back more alive

[tame cobalt]

You'll get your canada map when you fix this damn door

[frosty gorge]

really hope there is some content patches between now and then or people are gonna just stop playing jan/feb :/

[slim quiver]

we have no measurement on how active AOW is across Last gen, new gen and origin

[fierce gull]

sponsor Mr beast like they did during the apex legends day

[violet sluice]

Quite a bit of evidence as it takes at least a minute or two to find a Breakthrough match now as opposed to just two weeks ago where it was near-instant.

[rocky cedar]

While that is true and the console market is absolutely huge, I wouldn't discount any proven statistic just because nothing else has been made public.

[slim quiver]

well we also know there are server issues though correct?

[lilac plinth]

new map?

[arctic grove]

I think I'm going to teabag everyone I kill first match when I get home

[foggy tundra]

it takes me 30 seconds to get a breakthrough match

[tame cobalt]

Man the trailers for the seasons are gonna be hype af

[foggy tundra]

and im NA

[slim quiver]

okay so the region probably matters

OCE it takes longer obviously

[prisma anvil]

i can say that on next gen atleast its pretty much fucked outside of us and eu, same for portal, worse for HZ,

[violet sluice]

If it happens every single day it is the player base numbers and I am in NA West.

[lilac plinth]

what trailer?

[fierce gull]

better see Irish doing john wick kills in the cinematic trailer and him meeting Recker at the end

[frosty gorge]

can confirm the hazard zone player base is massive on NA when compared to EU

[tame cobalt]

the trailers for the seasons

[violet sluice]

I will load up 2042 right now and film how long it takes.

[slim quiver]

NA west and NA east may end up sharing the same match making but idk if its that selective

[lilac plinth]

where?

[arctic grove]

There should be stats for teabags

[tame cobalt]

the future

[violet sluice]

FINALLY! Someone thinking!

[slim quiver]

well hazard zone was screwed even at release

[lilac plinth]

i like it

[arctic grove]

@violet sluice dip dip potato chip

[lilac plinth]

amazing

[frosty gorge]

shame tbh, probs my favourite mode in 2042, just lacking any form of development at all

[violet sluice]

This man should be game director.

[rocky cedar]

Yeah, on those who take to this vile act. Like, having big hairy testsicles for their avatar.

[slim quiver]

oh sure aboslutely, but the same goes for saying the player base is dwindling. thats why i said there's no actual evidence

[prisma anvil]

probably not zy, i think the game doesnt really have a ring system for server selection....the matchmaking atleast

[slim quiver]

So should we say NA the entirety then

[arctic grove]

Did you see that amazing teabag on reddit top posts? The guy got teabagged for a few minutes

[slim quiver]

Im not sure how far split up the servers are

if theres one for central, west or east

[rocky cedar]

But there IS evidence 😄 What are you talking about? Steam stats has existed for years and gives you numbers about these things. Saying there is no evidence like talking to no-vaxers 😄

[slim quiver]

again steam stats only

thats the only number we have

[arctic grove]

I'll find the post

[prisma anvil]

no no, i mean, na west is separated, and na east is separated, i dont know how central us works tho, probably joins them to whichever one has the lowest ping at that time

[slim quiver]

we do not have any figure of the Console markets (both gen) or origin

[frosty gorge]

still talking 1000s of data points, so although not truly accurate, can give a pretty good indication of trends being roughly 5-10% of the total playerbase

[foggy tundra]

you cant apply one selection of stats when theres 4 different stats for the same game

[slim quiver]

theres about 3/4 pieces of the puzzle missing

[foggy tundra]

youre skewing the results

[slim quiver]

Oh yeah sure, thats fair. Just saying we dont even know the total sales

[restive coral]

is there a levolution related to the containers on manifest?

[slim quiver]

we don't even know how much of an impact steam really is

[neat totem]

k bud my matchmaking for 10 minutes says otherwise

[violet sluice]

Well what other stats do we have to work with? We got steam stats so we will judge by those until we get other stats.

[slim quiver]

ahhh okay makes sense

[frosty gorge]

oh for sure, there are plenty of people just sitting on their copies not playing too, which likely wont count to steam stats

[arctic grove]

Are we allowed to post battlefield reddit links here?

[slim quiver]

whats your region

[violet sluice]

So judging by the numbers we currently have the game appears to be slowly dying.

[neat totem]

west? I play with easties too.

[slim quiver]

10 minutes for breakthrough?

[foggy tundra]

lol

[arctic grove]

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/rkzswd/what_is_that/

[frosty gorge]

its about 1/4 of PC sales, and PC is probably 20-30% of the total sales itself if I had to put money on it

[neat totem]

yes, I've sat at the scorecard for longer than 10 minutes at times

[slim quiver]

can I get a source on that

[prisma anvil]

i can tell you this, console even though the playerbase is larger, and even though it sold well has its own pressing issues that is reducing the playerbase, again, the drop on console is probably similar to the drop on pc, just a little less steep, i'm willing to bet if pc dropped by 70%, console dropped by 40-50%...

[foggy tundra]

how am i getting 30 secs per breakthrough match and im NA west

[frosty gorge]

Just going off of similar games like COD

[neat totem]

great lobby system when you just see "ASSASSIN SQUAD" for 10 minutes straight followed by everyone in chat going "ZZZZZ"

[rocky cedar]

What the hell? You're saying that Steam stats don't count? Like, its literally stats. Statistics. Proven numbers. That is much more than anyone else has given us and while it doesn't include the console market, its stats. Of how players have behaved with a product in a monitored market.

[foggy tundra]

look

[slim quiver]

Sadly cod doesnt have a steam metric for even vanguard

since its on battlenet

id love to find comparisons tho between the two games

in terms of player base

[frosty gorge]

Was talking about battle net vs retail etc etc

[neat totem]

lol the copium on the blue line is nuts

[foggy tundra]

2042 is doing alot better than say amazons latest venture

[frosty gorge]

same here, would be interesting af

[slim quiver]

Oooh okay, yeah well pc sales on bf a little different since theres multiple store fronts

cod on digital pc only has the battlenet store front really

2042 has like epic, origin, steam

microsoft store i think

[foggy tundra]

ye also microsoft

and psn

[slim quiver]

Im saying thats the only stat we have

I never said it doesnt count

[prisma anvil]

according to tom, the steamcharts account for 19% of the playerbase, draw whatever conclusions you want from that

[slim quiver]

im saying you have 1 store front metric

vs like the 5 other store fronts on pc that it has

[fierce gull]

thought it was 16%

[prisma anvil]

similar numbers,

[frosty gorge]

I getcha, but either way can likely expect steam and origin to have the majority (especially going off discord around 90% of people I play with on PC are origin), and if its anything like COD, around 20-30% of the playerbase is PC

[slim quiver]

yeah well until i get like an official source that measures that metric ill take that with a grain of salt

[slim quiver]

steam an origin will yes take the majority of sales

then probably epic games will be 3rd

[prisma anvil]

you never will zzy, origin and epic doesnt have that, and its impossible to measure consoles....you'll never have that

[slim quiver]

since they also have the coupon sales etc

[frosty gorge]

indeed

[slim quiver]

origin also had the game on sale for existing ea play members

so steam and origin both had the same 10% off

[slim quiver]

we will eventually have total game sales

[prisma anvil]

true, steam and origin are probably tied in terms of sales, so probably have equal playercounts, thus, i salways double the steam numbers to account for origin,

[slim quiver]

but if we do not have the whole picture, we can't assume what the painting is

[rocky cedar]

I think it is safe to say that Steam is the biggest digital distribution platform on PC. We can draw conclusions from proven and generally accepted facet of data, rather than taking a dip into the other and claim there aren't any stats.

[slim quiver]

someone cant just show you 1 piece of the puzzle and say "tell me what it is"

[slim quiver]

There is no claim that there are no stats

the reality is, we have one store front with stats

the others have no metric or measurement

[rocky cedar]

Man, I give up 😄

[slim quiver]

you can not make an absolute statement off of 1 piece of evidence

[prisma anvil]

i mean playercounts, you know the daily counts, before, on console, you could go through the server browser, and count players individually based on region and modes in that region to get a global playercount at a point in the day,

[neat totem]

the amount of copium is so fucking thick it's crazy here

[slim quiver]

yeah before on console you used to be able to see it

[rocky cedar]

Yeah, playercount is much more interesting than the sales numbers

[neat totem]

are we arguing over origin vs steam here? do you actually look at stats here? you think Origin sells REMOTELY the same volume?

[prisma anvil]

it was flawed obviously, but still it was a metric, its better than no info at all

[neat totem]

I would guess steam is most likely 50% or more of the playercount numbers, easily

[slim quiver]

some people playing have ea play pro accounts too so some players may just be on a subscription

[rocky cedar]

Absolutely more

[neat totem]

yeah, I have several friends who bought through steam just because origin is shit

[dry wigeon]

u cant count ea pro acccounts or whatever as actual purchase

[slim quiver]

ironically you still need to use origin

[prisma anvil]

nah, pc accounts for 40% on average of the playerbase, of that 40% you have a lot of other stores on pc,

[neat totem]

funny enough it still installs it IIRC, but the point is making a statement

[slim quiver]

it doesnt matter what you buy it from

you launch the game through origin

origin installer is not as good as steams tho

[neat totem]

yeah I mean I bought it through origin myself, but friends bought it through steam also so it would show on steam as owned when online via friends status, also easier refund

[rocky cedar]

I mean, is there another reason? 😄 Still, Steam does prompt something at Origin's end.

[neat totem]

I mean, if you want steam to tell friends you're playing 2042 without using the "listing a third party application" stuff, not really

[rocky cedar]

Meaning that Origin's numbers most certainly will be based/built on Steam's data

[slim quiver]

to be fair people complain here every day about 2042 and yet still launch it up. I think thats more telling than anything else

[neat totem]

I personally think the amount of copium around this game is shocking, the game is tanking it's been out 2-3 months and it's already near-life support due to the release timing RIGHT before a large holidy break

you can't even blame most of the dev team post-launch because they had maybe a month to adjust stuff before holiday breaks

[dry wigeon]

i deleted it like what a month ago

[slim quiver]

yeah i deleted it november 23rd

[rocky cedar]

From a business perspective sale was the only thing left to do to keep it alive.

[prisma anvil]

hmmmm...could you do it so, you put the game in your steam library after buying it from origin, have origin just shadow launch when executing the game and then just launch the game from steam?....does that even register on steam's end as 2042 being played on steam?

[neat totem]

you think the sales were just because EA thinks people deserve the game for cheap, or because they literally couldn't get enough people to play their multiplayer only game during peak hours efficiently?

maybe you guys should realize the reason those 64-man "limited" modes won't be limited is because older gen consoles can only play 64 man and thus need people to group with or else GG

[slim quiver]

sales happened for BFV a few weeks after launch

dont know if they happened for BF1

[neat totem]

because it was universally bombed. It was a shitshow dude, I was there.

[fierce gull]

holiday sale

[slim quiver]

same

[fierce gull]

marketing

[rich thistle]

Would you rather have 100,000 USD in cash or 2,000,000 USD worth of robux.

[slim quiver]

I actually enjoyed the hell out of BFV

i still do actually

[prisma anvil]

the player count boost is a indirect effect, their goal is to make more money during the holidays, basivally 2 sales front, one at launch, the other at end of the year sales

[neat totem]

I liked it RIGHT before the last TTK change.

the hackers also ruined that game, EA wouldn't ban people fast enough; we'd see the same reported people night after fucking night

not even remotely "suss" just blatantly tapping kids on the pacific maps

[rocky cedar]

https://steamcharts.com/app/1517290 here we go

[rich thistle]

one of the most played games on steam is CSGO

[neat totem]

2042 has less people playing it than fucking VRChat

[prisma anvil]

bf1 days, we thought fairfight was ass, gods, if only we knew what was in store for us in the next game

[rich thistle]

thats coz people can actually RUN vrchat with 60+ fps

[neat totem]

that's hilarious, to be honest. Kinda depressing.

[slim quiver]

guys putting a game on sale means nothing tbh

[neat totem]

yeah it does, it means a lot about the confidence in their own product

[rich thistle]

it means alot, it means a poor bastard like my self can afford the game

[slim quiver]

Battlefield 1 went on winter sale for 35-40% off december 2016 and that game sold the most copies out of any battlefield game in existence

[neat totem]

they know it's gonna be a MTX savior or this game is scrapped in 2 years

[foggy halo]

2019 2021 2021 2021

Battlefield 1 was immersive

[slim quiver]

the BF games will go on sale whether they sell bad or not

BF1 won best seller for like 2 months in a row and still went on sale in december

[foggy halo]

good atmosphere

[rocky cedar]

Yeah? Kinda like Cyberpunk 2077 absolutely tanked and went to sale. Nothing.

[prisma anvil]

although i generally agree that it is a marketing/financial decision for 2042, i'd like to put forward sekiro as my argument, on my end atleast sekiro went on sale 4 times, after which it was always at full price...both n steam and ps

[slim quiver]

different company btw

BF notoriously go on sale for winter sales

Like i just said, battlefield 1 had the same sale percentage in 2016

and it sold 26 million copies overall

[rocky cedar]

So, that was their excuse. I was wondering the reason why they rushed the release.

[slim quiver]

won 2 months in a row of the best selling game on the market

[fierce gull]

so that means bf1 was shit at launch

[rich thistle]

atleast cyberpunk has very possitive reviews, also it aint a multiplayer

[slim quiver]

BF1 actually was pretty good at launch

[plain sand]

Ppl dont understand that many games go on sale even some time before christmas and it can last until new year

[slim quiver]

surprisingly the servers were not super trash

[fierce gull]

no no because it went on sale

[foggy halo]

I wish I had a time machine. life is so hard now

[foggy tundra]

cyberpunk flopped before it even launched lets be honest

[slim quiver]

it didnt launch on sale

[prisma anvil]

if the game is that good, they wont put it on sale much, also yes, i know, multiplayer vs singleplayer.....theyve done it for monetisation purposes, cuz even selling the game for dimes 1. boosts sales 2. drops more eyes into the ingame stores, where the money is at

[foggy tundra]

2077 flopped harder than 2042

[slim quiver]

it literally was on sale 2 months after launch and again "best selling game on the market"

and that was before the sale

[fierce gull]

follow my logic im right

[prisma anvil]

we saw the same thing for fallout 76

[slim quiver]

winter sales for BF games happen whether the game is recieved poorly or not

[rocky cedar]

I don't doubt 2042 sold like hotcakes, but its the daily player numbers I'm interested. Its the only thing that tells me if a game is dying.

[foggy tundra]

zzzy is right, bf games are always on sale regardless of reception in winter

[olive seal]

will we get a map rotation and stay in the same lobby at all on this game I'm sick of playing the same maps over and over again? haven't really played discarded or breakaway. played 5matches today and 4 times I have been on manifest.

[slim quiver]

because they dont simply look at the data

theres multiple articles even as far back as 2016 showing the december sales

[prisma anvil]

i mean, yeah bf games follow that logic cuz it allows them to basically sell the game twice, i dont blame that, thats just good business

[slim quiver]

this

[foggy halo]

breakaway conquest is the best experience

[slim quiver]

the winter seasons is the highest consumer spending season of the year naturally

[plain sand]

If sales on games mean, its their last hope to get some players etc, many games would have been almost dead multiple times by that logic

[slim quiver]

the holiday season in general nov-december has a huge volume in sales

[rocky cedar]

I think COVID pretty much made sure that game publishers are living in a golden age of sorts

[rich thistle]

instead of a sale how about put the game on epic games and lower the price since epic takes less cut of profit.

[olive seal]

most games go on sale within a month or two of release now anyway

[slim quiver]

yes covid increased video game sales exponentially

[prisma anvil]

true,

[slim quiver]

i think gaming is up 20% in the industry revenue as a whole

[radiant prism]

I'll tell you right now, 2042 isn't dying. I'm having zero trouble matching into full 64v64 player lobbies.

[foggy halo]

COVID is the totally unexpected second curse of the 21 century

[plain sand]

+1

[rich thistle]

-1

[tame cobalt]

2042 didn't flop.

[plain sand]

You arent payed anymore?

[rich thistle]

it flopped massively in terms of reviews, yikes its in the negative

[prisma anvil]

but it is alarming how quick the game is falling out of the spotlight, the game is dying, lets not kid ourselves.....it sold well, thats it

[fierce gull]

same

[foggy tundra]

if you really wwnt to get into it, amazons new world flopped harder than 2042

[tame cobalt]

EA said i can change my name, as a treat

[foggy tundra]

it died after a month

[rich thistle]

never heard of amazon

[radiant prism]

falling out of the spotlight =/= dying.

[foggy halo]

amazon.com
GO

[dry wigeon]

yeah idk if u claiming it sold 6 million copies hell no it didn

[plain sand]

In terms of reviews yes, doesnt mean the game itself is a flop. So many ppl complaining in reviews because of the sale, its cheaper than they bought it and they want their 20€ back

[foggy tundra]

[rocky cedar]

Me neither, but saying we don't know anything about the development of the playerbase isn't true either. It has a negative 58 % player gain at Steamcharts. And even on Steam I haven't had too much trouble getting into a match.

[foggy tundra]

i spent 100 usd and im getting my 100 usd worth by trolling with vcar

[rocky cedar]

Plus, the reviews are getting a bit more positive at Steam

[prisma anvil]

the falling out of the spotlight is one facet of the equation.......

[fierce gull]

ehhh

[dry wigeon]

even on steam, u know that the platforms are connected right?

[foggy tundra]

2042 was significantly better 2 weeks post launch and even better now

[fierce gull]

what??

[foggy tundra]

atleast the devs are responding quickly

[rocky cedar]

Do you mean the digital distribution platforms for PC? Of course.

[plain sand]

Well, no actually.
The percentage went down from 37 to 33 again for recent reviews...

[dry wigeon]

yeah just nwm go play on steam only servers

[rocky cedar]

Ah, okay. I stand corrected. I love data.

[rich thistle]

are you facebook

[foggy tundra]

yes

[rich thistle]

facebook metas wants to control our reality

they want to put advertisements right infront of our faces

[rocky cedar]

I think I might have a language barrier here because I don't understand at all what you're trying to say 😄

[prisma anvil]

currently the reviews are justified, kinda, not 30, but imo it shouldnt cross 40-50, the game gets better in the future, the reviews will go up again..

[rocky cedar]

Isn't it that Meta wants us to become the advertisements that spread the word for them

[rich thistle]

theyd have to take control of our brains to do that

[rocky cedar]

I am absolutely controlled

By coffee at the moment

[fierce gull]

god damn dozer t1 is hard af

[radiant prism]

Yes

You must master the shield, my child

[olive seal]

when do we start to get new content? any leaks about?

[unique oyster]

just new map is in canada

[olive seal]

hopefully it will be a good map

[plain sand]

March was leaked but leaks is no 100% confirmation

[prisma anvil]

unofficial news says march, we might see small content drops before tho....

[flat tusk]

Pre launch was a mess up untill the last patch which made the game actually playable without game breaking bugs but one thing I’m most disappointed is the lack of guns

[olive seal]

I am disappointed in the lack of guns but the main problem for me I don't like the maps

[ornate charm]

man i fixed this ages ago but its happening again, anyone know how to go around the dx12 crash?

[fierce gull]

no fix you have to wait for the next patch

[ornate charm]

sadge i was on 43 kills when it happened

[fierce gull]

ye this dirextx12 shit is pissing me off too

Hopefully the next patch is shortly after their break

[tame cobalt]

So they've said what's coming in next patch? Where?

Random dev twitter accounts i assume?

[radiant prism]

We don't really know besides speculation and a bit of datamining

[fierce gull]

DrunkkZ3 confirmed what's coming up next patch in twitter

[tame cobalt]

Like how do people know they're removing c5 drone?

[radiant prism]

No official sources have confirmed that date yet

[tiny imp]

I have only played 49 hours in BF 2042 since early access.

[tame cobalt]

👌

[pearl axle]

is the game dead yet?

[fierce gull]

no

[fierce gull]

you can check out his tweets and replies he responds to bugs https://twitter.com/DRUNKKZ3

[tame cobalt]

I have played 181 hours apparently, but probably at least quarter of that is idling in menus

[prisma anvil]

[dusty salmon]

can anyone help me with a problem im having

[tiny imp]

describe

[dusty salmon]

the game wont let me add friends

it dosent see my other friends when i look them up

and when they look me up it dosent work either

[fierce gull]

what platform are you on and your friends

[dusty salmon]

i play on playstation but my friends are on pc

[fierce gull]

ps5 or ps4?

[dusty salmon]

ps4

[fierce gull]

last gen can't play with next gen in 2042

[radiant prism]

Yeah, there's no PS4 to PC crossplay

[dusty salmon]

then whats the point of the game being crossplay?

[radiant prism]

There's PS5 to PC crossplay, its a matter of generational tech

Also the fact that PS4 and PS5 run different versions of the game

[dusty salmon]

are they gonna change that

[foggy tundra]

last gen consoles cannot handle 128 players

it would kill the console

[dusty salmon]

so your telling me i bought a 60 dollar game that barley works?

[foggy tundra]

no?

[radiant prism]

No lmao, the PS4 version just only has 64 players instead of 128. Its a different version than the PS5/XSX/PC version

[foggy tundra]

DICE stated crossplay wasnt possible between nextgen and prevgen consoles

[dusty salmon]

so i gotta buy a ps5

[foggy tundra]

ps4s and xbox one dont have the tech to handle 128 player maps

[radiant prism]

And the PS4 only has crossplay with XB1 in 2042

[foggy tundra]

sadly yes

[radiant prism]

If you want to play with PC friends, yes

[foggy tundra]

inorder to play with pc friends

i think they mentioned there was uh

cross progress?

not sure if that applies to all 3 platforms or just pc and xbox

cause sony do be stingy

which partly why theres no crossplay voice chat

currently

[radiant prism]

Yeah, its cross progress

[dusty salmon]

well thanks for your help guys, now i gotta get a ps5 lol

[radiant prism]

Sorry to disappoint!

[foggy tundra]

good hunting

[dusty salmon]

nah you good, you saved me from getting yelled at by my parents

[radiant prism]

I think you might can find twitter accounts and discord servers that will let you know when there's availabilities if you wanna hunt a bit

[foggy tundra]

if you have gold version or higher, it shouls transfer to ps5

the game that is

[dusty salmon]

wait wait wait

[fierce gull]

uh oh

[foggy tundra]

oh no

[dusty salmon]

for ps5 i thought any game on the ps4 can go on it

[foggy tundra]

no

like i said sony is a bit stingt

[dusty salmon]

but when they came out with the ps5 it said for like the digital version if you have games on the ps4 it would transfer over only once

[foggy tundra]

you need i believe the gold tier of the game or higher for it to go to ps5 from ps4

[radiant prism]

Also the PS5 can run any PS4 game, but the PS4 has its own version of 2042 that doesn't have 128 players or anything like that

[dusty salmon]

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[radiant prism]

There's a next gen version and a past gen version

[ornate charm]

[waxen turret]

omfg i can again set up my settings again fucking battlefield

[foggy tundra]

yes and this is why im xbox/pc, not ps

sony has some of weirdest stingiest bs ive ever seen

[dusty salmon]

so like cod vanguard for instance is a game i can just easily traner over or i gotta but another version

[prisma anvil]

depends when you bought the game

[waxen turret]

are the bf devs on holidays or when will they fix the bugs?

[foggy tundra]

theyre on holiday

prob til jan 3rd maybe?

[radiant prism]

They're on holiday for a little while yeah

[fierce gull]

I got a list of confirmed bugs that are gonna get fixed next patch if you want em

[waxen turret]

yeah send pls

[dusty salmon]

but what if i bought like cod vanguard for the ps4 do i still need to have to get the ps5 version?

[foggy tundra]

that is a good q and not one ik

[prisma anvil]

i dont know about cod, but for 2042, if i remember correctly if you bought the standard edition after the beta you should get the cross gen bundle

you did pay more for it tho i think, 70$

[earnest gull]

tbh this is what i find really confusing about both console platforms having 2 seperate generations while launching the same game's

[foggy tundra]

ye it sucks the tech is sooo different

that it requires 2 separate launches

[prisma anvil]

they anounced after the beta that standard would get the cross gen bundle as well but i think it only applies to the standard version after the announcement, and not if you preordered before

[earnest gull]

its almost as confusing as howmany Nintendo DS's exist xD

[foggy tundra]

ngl

i was like, im feeling gambly today

and got the 109 version for 90 bucks

[dusty salmon]

Well, thank you all. im on a adventure now

[foggy tundra]

itll be fun i promise

[prisma anvil]

imo, if youve got the ps4 edition only, just play that, game feels a bit better with 64 players and smaller maps, plus you get console only crossplay, only thing is you get input delay on last gen, so there's that

[earnest gull]

tbh its fun if you dont go in looking for things to complain about ^^ i have plenty o fun

[ornate charm]

64 players is a blessing true ngl

[foggy tundra]

i love 2042 but i also have my gripes with it

like the lack of 2142 content

[earnest gull]

same but i dont actively spend most my playtime looking for things to complain about ^^

[dusty salmon]

true to all of what you guy said

[foggy tundra]

[sour edge]

I swear this chat is just the same thing everyday

[olive seal]

tbh tho as gamers we shouldn't have to pay full price for a game and it be broken and buggy.

[arctic grove]

You got this no pants

[earnest gull]

😄 for the love of god dont look at star citizen 😄

[scenic tartan]

Has anyone had the scope glitch where you ads and the scope moves around away from your view lately? I haven't had that since like the 1st day of release

[olive seal]

Haha I've seen it

[unique oyster]

Lmao ain’t no one gonna listen to that

[lilac plinth]

[grizzled blaze]

https://youtu.be/yG-xk_0TT3s lmao

oh ofc no embed

[fierce gull]

lol that happened to me before

we lost but we won

[foggy tundra]

embed fail

[earnest gull]

i really think if you spend more than 1 min in the respawn screen it should boot you from a match ^^ iv had so many matches where theres only like 12-16 people on the ground because the rest are all desperately waiting for vehicles

[sour edge]

That’s because some people don’t like infantry, if they are just gonna boot they will just respawn wait 20 seconds then redeploy

[lilac crescent]

i am having trouble joining portal games it either kicks me before joining or a minute into joining any one know why

[tame cobalt]

Vehicle hogging should def be illegal

[paper lance]

Get good bro

[tame cobalt]

No u

[fierce gull]

Dozer's shield is more challenging than Modern warfare riot shield lmao

[rancid burrow]

Quick question

[tame cobalt]

Get good bro

[rich thistle]

quick answer

[rancid burrow]

Do bitches really love sosa?

[tame cobalt]

No

[rich thistle]

i dont like sosa

[rancid burrow]

R u bitches?

[rich thistle]

am i not?

[rancid burrow]

Ok that answered my question thank bf420 fam

[tame cobalt]

Yw

Who's hyped to ptfo on EXPOSURE

In uhhhhhhhh 2 months or so

[rancid burrow]

Clownfield 2042 releasing tmw!!!

[prisma anvil]

i mean, march is when the season starts, who knows when the map will drop

[tame cobalt]

May

[prisma anvil]

imagine if they come out with " the x mode version of the map has been found to have game breaking bugs in it and thus will be delayed till further notice" like al sundan

[tame cobalt]

[fierce gull]

the person who made clownfield dumb should have put a price

[glossy storm]

I'm low-key hyped for Clownfield.

[fierce gull]

he would make money

[prisma anvil]

[fierce gull]

he could make it $2000 and 1000000 people from reddit will buy it

[tame cobalt]

Al sundan

"it has game breaking bugs"

AKA:

The map sucks ass in almost every mode cuz we just ported it from single player and we're embarrassed to release it

[lime crystal]

[arctic grove]

AL sundan was a cool map to fly in

[tame cobalt]

Al sundan tdm is decent at least

[prisma anvil]

al sundan on breakthrough attack was, " ya wanna win kiddo?...allright, just stick left"

[arctic grove]

Taking the A objective gave you two more planes

[lime crystal]

copy paste bfv gameplay mechanics and paste into 2042 pls, thxbai

[fierce gull]

sure

[lime crystal]

[prisma anvil]

you want a side of fries and a coke with that order my guy?

[lime crystal]

already full of 2042 cringey voicelines toppings

[fierce gull]

i will also add option to turn off voicelines in settings

[lime crystal]

[fierce gull]

turns out I got fired for trying to add good things

[lime crystal]

wonder how long it takes to reach level 999

[prisma anvil]

i think you mean "parted ways on amicable terms" there @fierce gull

[fierce gull]

[prisma anvil]

allright you, sod off to ubisoft now

[fierce gull]

why do people destroy enemy spawn beacons

just camp on them

[fiery shoal]

waste of time to get a kill

[glossy storm]

^

You're better off doing something actually productive and beneficial for the team.

[fierce gull]

got 3 kills with shield cuz 3 people spawned on it in tdm

was gonna wait on it again but a teammate destroyed it

[modest ingot]

I can’t believe people paid $90 for a game that has ps2 texture graphics in the intro of every match even on ps5

[wary wedge]

which is the best sniper?

[modest ingot]

Literally the worst battlefield of all time no cap

[fierce gull]

ps5 gets ps3 texture graphics lol?

[wary wedge]

DRX or the first one?

[modest ingot]

Nahps3 is better. The graphics look so shit it can be on ps2. When the match starts during that cutscene

[fierce gull]

well that sucks my textures load in fast on pc

[modest ingot]

Good shit u lucky

[glossy storm]

The graphics range from decent to good. It's the art direction that kinda sucks in a few maps.

[modest ingot]

I wish I had a $1500 pc setup as well

[fierce gull]

Interesting how that is happening to ps5

[wary wedge]

DXR or SVS-10 which is the better one?

[fierce gull]

DXR

[fiery shoal]

kaleidoscope looks rather flat, in terms of texture and geometry, and then you get discarded which looks pretty damn good

[main patrol]

Sometimes i have very high ping is the only possible reason for it the internet connection or is there other possible reasons?

[glossy storm]

Like Kaleidoscope. When there's clear skies, it looks like a bland colourful piece of shit.

The storm actually makes it look cooler, IMO.

[modest ingot]

I wish the game was more fun gameplay wise as well. TTK is too slow sometimes.

[prisma anvil]

how high are we talking about?

[modest ingot]

Should get rid of classes, and make the maps more detailed instead of huge lifeless ones

[earnest gull]

ironically, people ask for realistic styled enviroments and when they get realistic styled enviroment's they want unrealistic enviroments with 10x the clutter a real world location would have ^^

[modest ingot]

Fax

[earnest gull]

kalydascope. as boring as it is... is really down to earth in level design

[fiery shoal]

theres a forever amount of ironic things that people ask for and when they get it they are angry.

[glossy storm]

The next urban map should be an actual city rather than a tech park.

[main patrol]

157-1500 it depends on the day

[prisma anvil]

jesus

[modest ingot]

Wtf I did t even know that high was possible

[prisma anvil]

and this is matchmaking?

[earnest gull]

i always assumed 999 was the highest ping displayable in most games xD

[main patrol]

Lmao i have had higher on paladins (2344)

[modest ingot]

How dafuq do u keep playing ?

[fierce gull]

the highest ping i got in this was game was 10,000 lol

[main patrol]

I dont? I quit for a few hours and come back and the ping is 30 or something

[modest ingot]

Damn what a turn around

[earnest gull]

they did... i dunno what you did but iv never rebinded my drone.

[modest ingot]

I wish the game was more like battlefield 4 with battlefield 1 mobility

[prisma anvil]

like i genuinely am confused about what the matchmaking system is like....i've been constantly thrown into empty lobbies but not high ping lobbies so i assume it doesnt have a ring system....but then there's you guys who get into these 100-200 servers, another thing that wouldve been easier to diagnose with a server browser tbh, but if youre generally getting higher than 300 in terms of ping its probably your network,

you could check in portal to see if you can see and join low ping servers, even if they are empty, just to check if its your netowork

[earnest gull]

play co-op and see what that gives you since in a weird choice of developement even the solo mode is always online

[stark nacelle]

What’s the max mastery you can get in co-op

[main patrol]

Yeah and the high ping is not that bad but its annyoing that my character is stuttering

[stark nacelle]

I forget if its 5 or 7

[slate meadow]

Is game fixed now ?

[prisma anvil]

stuttering is more attributed to packet loss or server performance, in worse cases it manifests as rubberbanding....could be server issues

[sour edge]

Can u get t1 in coop?

[fierce gull]

no there is a cap for mastery

midway in t2

[sour edge]

Oh how much is there between that and t1 I’m super new to the mastery thing at least

[stark nacelle]

No

[stark nacelle]

Yes there is a cap for mastery in Coop, I saw an infographic

[rich thistle]

kurwa mac

[lethal reef]

How’s everyone getting on with battlefield today 😄

[rich thistle]

kurwa not so well, i got killed twice now

[lethal reef]

Fair enough😂

[lilac dust]

Is the Nightbird exclusive to squad members? The only heli I can enter is seemingly the transport

[lethal reef]

Yeah that’s correct

Same with the attack choppers

[lilac dust]

I guess that makes sense with 128 players

[fierce gull]

497 more kills to go to get dozer t1 skin

[steep stump]

damn

[radiant prism]

almost halfway there

[fiery shoal]

getting dozer skin sounds painfull

[fierce gull]

yep what gamemode did you grind in?

[radiant prism]

Conquest, easier to flank/deal with one enemy at a time

[glossy storm]

Here's my daily dose of respect for DICE taking so much flak for all the shit EA decided. Well, all DICE members except for those who prioritise monetization over actual gameplay.

[radiant prism]

Breakthrough is too hectic to use Dozer effectively

[fierce gull]

hmm im doing tdm but I will give conquest a shot

[radiant prism]

I mean yeah if TDM is working for you then that's fine

I just stuck to AOW

[signal saddle]

Cool

[eternal compass]

guys? any suggestion how can I fight banned? Ive been banned for cheating but I dont use any kind of hacks or anything is there a way to fight this?

[sour edge]

IMO, battlefield 1 had the best destruction and graphics in the battlefield history. Just me?

[arctic grove]

I’m currently playing battlefield and I just saw a jet kamikaze into a crane 💀

[eternal compass]

this is my 1st time being banned in any battlefield game or any game I dont use cheat what so ever idk why this popup when I logged in

[radiant prism]

BF1's destruction is outdone a little bit by BFV IMO, but BF1 does have pretty good terrain deformation

[arctic grove]

What did you get banned for?

[radiant prism]

Graphicswise its a bit dull

[sour edge]

Also the reloads and guns so gritty

[eternal compass]

Ive checked my email and it said cheating wth I dont even use any kinds of cheats or mods

[paper lance]

Sweet effects can get you banned

[lilac dust]

Which mode ya'll like better - 64 or 128 Breakthrough ?

[paper lance]

2042 = 💩

[eternal compass]

is anyone here I can contact to help me about this?

[jovial jay]

so what's the difference between standard round and high power round for the NTW ? Beside all the red minus

[radiant prism]

Not on this server, no.

[radiant prism]

I believe high power does more damage against vehicles.

[eternal compass]

I want to fight this because I didnt do anything jeez! I dont want to waste my 100USD for this!

[radiant prism]

Then again I haven't used the NTW personally

[burnt swan]

also slower bullet velocity with high power

[jovial jay]

Im using it with the smart scope for near close combat pretty much 1 shot kill, but not as versatile as other rifles

[fast jacinth]

EA propably has a customer support where you can send a ticket

[radiant prism]

Yeah personally I haven't used the NTW yet

I have it unlocked, I just don't feel like sniping lol

[eternal compass]

what the! so EA just throw ban hammer to any players without even investigating? ive been banned 12/28/21 Ive just logged in today to play and that showed up

[arctic grove]

Are you ok

[proper latch]

Gotta be more careful and discreet with your aimbot and wallhacks my guy

[arctic grove]

I have a clip of a jet kamikaze into a crane 😧

[eternal compass]

dude I dont use them I dont even wanna pay money just to be banned whats the point of playing if youre just gonna cheat your way thru everything

ive got all battlefield since bad company 2 and this is the 1st time I got banned wth

[fast jacinth]

You gotta start somewhere

[eternal compass]

ive quit pubg and warzone because of cheaters and now theyre accusing me of cheating

ahh yes ok where pooh bear lives

COLD_WARRIOR_PLACEHOLDER, didnt even get this right

Best policy yet

[fast jacinth]

China is the shorter name for hundred acre forest

[oblique ocean]

they still have steam china, but it only has like 2 games

[rich thistle]

although considering how china has restricted how many hours u can play games i dont think they care about having games to begin with xD

Like multiplayer games in china u can only play for x amount of hours

[hybrid trench]

Hey Guys, does anyone have tips on how to play the game properly because I've just started playing and I'm not too good at it like I can get kills or whatever but again can't do that much. I just wanted to know if anyone has any tips :)

[uncut blade]

im constantly firing in bf any solutions for this

restart doesnt help

[proper latch]

400 DPI, 15 sens, use PP29 and laser noobs

Also learn how to crouch slide spam while maintaining cracked aim

[arctic grove]

look for the most contended flags / spots on the map and learn to get the easy kills. falck sundance or angel as specialist.

[proper latch]

Don’t forget to tbag opponents this part is most important to executing a flawless kill on an enemy

[sour edge]

Also don’t always worry about just kills, helping team matters more when ur a newbie

[arctic grove]

when you fight at the most contended spots u automatically do revive / ammo support and kills

[proper latch]

Best help is mopping all hostiles in the vicinity

[grand arch]

waiting for players to join, stuck. what the hell is happening?

[hybrid trench]

What do you mean by that? Like I know h ow to slide but I can never keep the aim whilst doing it

[sour edge]

But if ur not that good at it, there’s other imrotant stuff u can do

[grand arch]

been trying for last 1 hour, waiting for players to join, stuck, what the hell is happening?

[proper latch]

You use MK or controller?

[hybrid trench]

Thank you I'll try that aha

[dull badger]

You are welcome to change your name in to something appropriate.

[proper latch]

Change it for me then. Pick something appropriate for me :^)

[hybrid trench]

Yeah I always get a few assists but I can never get above like 20 odd

[hybrid trench]

Controller

[arctic grove]

as battlefield player you should also learn how to drive a tank or fly a helicopter.

[proper latch]

Make it EA Worshipper

[dull badger]

that is something you can do yourself 🙂

[hybrid trench]

I can drive light vehicles alright but tanks are a but harder aha

[jovial jay]

I'd probably regret this but use casper and his drone. The reason Im saying this is because it kinda breed a whole line of Casper drone camper, doing nothing beside sit there waiting for assist

[sour edge]

But start in a private match first, helis are weird and killing ur self in a vehicle hurts ur team

[jovial jay]

But it does help with leveling

[arctic grove]

yea dont learn how to use vehicles in a public match. do it in the solo / coop match against bots.

[sour edge]

Fax, really helps the team too

[hybrid trench]

Ahhhhhh well I use Boris now so I'll use Casper in my next game and try it out, thank you so much

[jovial jay]

One or 2 is enough, but more than 5 to 10 of them just sitting behind cover is

[hybrid trench]

Yeah I'll do that in a few thank you

[sour edge]

Also don’t take @arctic grove helicopter or else he will put a controller through a wall

Kidding

[jovial jay]

You can also close in any vehicle or turret, even another enemy drone and shock them with emp, lock in first

[hybrid trench]

Ahahahhha I'll try not to

[buoyant coyote]

what gun should i use ak12 or m5a3

[proper latch]

But we can cuss on this discord?

[hybrid trench]

Okie dokie, how do i use drones tho? Is it in one specific character or can anyone use them

[proper latch]

The rules are confusing

[jovial jay]

My fav is the ak, m5 is good but Im feeling a bit russian now

[tame cobalt]

Wrong

[buoyant coyote]

lol

[surreal crystal]

Ak is super nice after the updates lol

[jovial jay]

Since Russian's heli has the 30mm for pilot, I can use them for air superiority

[arctic grove]

we still play it lol

[hybrid trench]

It's so fun trust me I like it better than battlefield 5

[next onyx]

Can you try out a trial version?

[arctic grove]

ea play 3.99$ for 10hour trials

[jovial jay]

Just Casper, you just need to press deploy the drone, then on the right side there will be some control scheme for u

[next onyx]

If you want to try it out, give that a go.

[proper latch]

Lol how so

[next onyx]

If you dont like it then ez

Oh rip

[eternal compass]

how can I see how long the ban will take?

[tame cobalt]

Chad medics are also best help

[hybrid trench]

Ahhhhh okay thank you, I'll try it all out on a priv game then try and not sabotage my team 🤣

[next onyx]

Id say wait until you get a better gpu then you'll be good

Well, gpu, cpu... ram...

[oblique ocean]

god reporting a bug is a pain, why is DxDiag a requirement for wrong text in game menu

[jovial jay]

Bf2042 made me feel like the rtx2060 is some antique cards

[next onyx]

Oh definitely

Maybe psu too

But pretty solid

Yeah upgrade that as well

[jovial jay]

3000 series

[oblique ocean]

20 series is good enough for that

[ornate charm]

bro is the ac42 the new meta now lol everybody using it

[arctic grove]

nah most guns are good now

[next onyx]

Give amd a try

[jovial jay]

2080 maybe, I've seen report of 2070 struggling, 2060 is out of question

[next onyx]

2070 is pretty solid

[ornate charm]

pkp is really op imo it lazers from hella far

[hybrid trench]

Is the M5A3 a good gun? Just for context I play as Boris for now and I'm not sure whether to use a different gun

[next onyx]

M5 is good yes

Close combat mags is all you need

[arctic grove]

please stop calling stuff op bro. mp9 and k30 will beat any pkp and ac42 in close range. its called balance.

[vale delta]

a 3090 won't even run the game with 144 stable fps at 1440p so keep your expectations low

[jovial jay]

Bfv made my 2060 feels like a nice tuned up bmw m3, while 2042 dumped that feeling down to a Prius

[hybrid trench]

Thank youuuu

Woahhhh caps aha

[proper latch]

Just put on an SVK and call it a day

[ornate charm]

its literally my two cents, you don't have to agree with anything much less be aggressive about it lol, i use an mp9 and it really doesnt stand a chance against the pkp in long range at least @arctic grove

[arctic grove]

long range mp9...

[ornate charm]

rephrase, medium-long range

[proper latch]

SVK is supreme weapon

[arctic grove]

listen. in bfv everyone was crying so they changed the time to kill like 5 times. we dont want that. we dont want people calling everything op when its clearly not. when everything is good then nothing is op

[jovial jay]

You guys can actually use the svk ? I keep getting random bullet deviation or some unknow universal shot that make the bullet go straight through my target without damage

[buoyant coyote]

does anit armor lock onto to ground veichles now

[arctic grove]

everytime u nerf something u make something else stronger. Im tired of this "this is to op" shit

[jovial jay]

Not without soflam

[arctic grove]

its not even out yet just look youtube video when they release it so u can decide

[jovial jay]

Feeling of pride and accomplishment

[buoyant coyote]

who else thinks u should be able to control the cranes

[arctic grove]

🤣

[lethal reef]

I’ll be doing a YouTube video and covering it all for when battlefield drop the battle pass or any hints of it 🙂

[arctic grove]

That's my fav gun

🤝

[deep mango]

i really hope that in the near future they give us a close quarters map and take the aim assist off the consoles or put them in different servers because seems to be riddled with bugs

[placid parrot]

u guys know anything about the update?

[arctic grove]

next "official" update will be in two weeks

[placid parrot]

thats cool

[lethal reef]

I’ve made a video covering everything so far

[fierce gull]

What's your channel

[placid parrot]

send it over

[lethal reef]

It’s the name you see here

[deep mango]

hope in two weeks that they figure out how to no put all the mistakes in one game

[lethal reef]

Next official update should be in early 2022

[placid parrot]

I mean BFV took about a year to fix everything

[fierce gull]

The next update seems like it's gonna fix a lot of issues

That piss people off

[arctic grove]

won't be different with bf2042

[placid parrot]

that is true

[arctic grove]

@placid parrot well in all honest things were kinda good they tweaked it messed it up and had to fix it

[deep mango]

well they had what 3 years of time to fix mistakes on the new BF 2042 and had tons of us playtesting it

[placid parrot]

they only tested with 70 people not 128 what I heard

[arctic grove]

the last 2 months have been the playtest. they never tested this game before

[buoyant coyote]

y dpes no one revice

[fierce gull]

I have never seen the bugs that are happening now back then lol

[arctic grove]

they had 60-70 people testing the 128 player mode just saying

[deep mango]

i dont think 70 i was in it and the servers were packed

[arctic grove]

I mean during development

[deep mango]

that was a nightmare game play when the 2 week playtesting first hit maps were horrible

[arctic grove]

because they never tested this game with 128 players like 3 months before release

first time was when the alpha or content creator event was

[deep mango]

they just need the server setup of BF4 and the game play of BFV and weapon movement of BF1

[fierce gull]

Heard they were going to add some features from bf4 to 2042

[arctic grove]

I like the gameplay its just missing of basic features like server browser, stats, and squad mechanics + the maps are not really good designed yet

[fierce gull]

Like putting your weapon against a wall when you are near it

[fiery shoal]

source?

[arctic grove]

I dont know if they were just lazy with stuff like your soldier card or if they gonna release the sick shit with season 1

[arctic grove]

multiple content creators on youtube playing the alpha^^

[fiery shoal]

uhhh.. how does that prove anything?

[arctic grove]

Why should they lie?

[lethal reef]

I just hope these game modes like the 64 player modes and TDM stay permanently

[arctic grove]

they clearly said dice didnt had 128 members testing the game. what do you expect? most games dont even have 50 devs

[fiery shoal]

wtf...

[buoyant coyote]

best gun?

[arctic grove]

tdm k30 with big mag

[fiery shoal]

50 devs is almost indie status..

[lethal reef]

AC-42

[buoyant coyote]

m5a3 good?

[fiery shoal]

hell i bet criterion has more than 50 devs

[arctic grove]

there is a difference between developing a game and testing a 100+ player match

[lethal reef]

Yeah lol

[arctic grove]

u can have the best ideas but maybe it just dont work out thats why u need to test it and bf2042 maps clearly show they didnt test it

still a fun game can just hope they fix it in 1 year

[fiery shoal]

yea criterion alone has 90 people employed in 2017...

[arctic grove]

doesnt mean those people are testing and playing the game

[fiery shoal]

never said that...

[fiery shoal]

only disproved this completely bs statement

[arctic grove]

Uhm no its still correct because they didnt have so many people testing it. why should the sound designer or hazard zone studio test 128 players breakthrough when they dont even have the time for it

[fiery shoal]

lol ok bud

[elder halo]

Didn't they have like 3 or 4 studios worth of devs or something?

[arctic grove]

DEVS not playtesters

[fierce gull]

Hmm

[fiery shoal]

yes, and dice alone has 700 people employed in 2020

[arctic grove]

u do know what playtesters are for? those people get invited by the devs to test the game before release. doesnt have anything to do with a beta

[fiery shoal]

so for this guy to think they cant get 128 people to test a game at any point is beyond me

[arctic grove]

thats what all the invited people said on youtube. not my opinion lol

[fierce gull]

Like technical playtest?

[arctic grove]

I'm sure they could get far more than 128 players

[dim blade]

Hi, BF2042 bad

Bye

[sharp heath]

^

[arctic grove]

so why did the playtesters said there was 70 people testing 128 players breakthrough

[fierce gull]

Ratio

[arctic grove]

just watch youtube smh

[dim blade]

Go ahead, react to your own comment

[arctic grove]

@arctic grove I'm not sure I'm too busy having fun playing the game

[fierce gull]

I can't tho

[arctic grove]

what level are you?

[dim blade]

Aint that a crying shame

[fierce gull]

:(

[fiery shoal]

the problem is that you are taking that one claim as the truth. not only that but lets say the content creators that got invited to play did only see some 70 players in a test, that doesnt mean there werent OTHER tests done outside of that one scenario... like you know, in house testing between the devs and internal play testers?

[arctic grove]

@arctic grove I haven't checked there's no scoreboard

[arctic grove]

like I said not my opinon I just repeat what the playtesters said

[dim blade]

This game might be good in 20-42 months

[fierce gull]

I can wait

[arctic grove]

dude you can see your level everywhere

[fiery shoal]

again, youre taking what they said as the truth and applying it as the only truth. youre not considering other tests that very likely happened with 128 people..

[arctic grove]

acting like hes having fun - also doesnt want to say his level 😉

[split schooner]

4 developing studios, 4 years , and they cut live service of bfv for bf 2042, and look what we got.

[arctic grove]

1.5 years

[ornate charm]

@arctic grove ayo cool gameplay howd u make ur hud purple

[arctic grove]

I feel like no one has any clue about this game. It was 1.5 years development not 4 years

[split schooner]

Dude the development starts waaay before

[arctic grove]

My 30 dollar doordash burrito just arrived

[arctic grove]

dude they changed the whole development stage 1.5 years before release and made a new game

like how can you have no clue about the game your playing

[fiery shoal]

ironic

[split schooner]

Any official source? It's what tom said that they changed it from br to what currently it is

[arctic grove]

yea for sure EA boss will tell you its true

[split schooner]

right....

[arctic grove]

believe what u want xD

[fierce gull]

$30 for one burrito

[arctic grove]

Take a jet and crash into the start animation planes at the beginning of every round. you do a 10 men multikill. nice playtest 😉

[fiery shoal]

yea lockonfield takes "dude trust me" as credible sources and spreads that info as facts, and then takes one statement and twists it into something different

[fierce gull]

Accurate

[wary wedge]

why do i feel that pkp is better then m5?

[arctic grove]

some people really believe this game got tested xD

@fierce gull yes half of what people paid for this vidoe game I guess

[split schooner]

And then says "we" don't know anything about the game we play, how ironic..

[fierce gull]

If this game has a Logitech bundle I want a McDonald's bundle

[main patrol]

What is the fastest way to level up stuff

[dim blade]

Too bad they couldn't diagnose the "Mostly Negative-vitus" before it was too late

[arctic grove]

bruh 99.9% in battlefield are freekills

[lethal reef]

I hope when they drop the new season pass, maps and hopefully new guns it’s livens up

[arctic grove]

Like bf2042 is the most easiest game ever released to drop a daily 100 killstreak. clearly a tested game 🤣

[split schooner]

first impression is everything, they messed it up with so shitty launch..

[arctic grove]

64 enemys in the desert being stuck at the C1 building on hourglass. Just there u hit a 100 killstreak

[fiery shoal]

classic example of the dunning kruger effect

[hazy otter]

In Lockonfields defense, do any of you really believe there would be an official source from EA saying they scrapped half their development? The developer/publisher who said they're ahead of schedule and also delayed the game? I mean really guys come on

[main patrol]

Does the bot xp thing still work?

[arctic grove]

bro we need to trust those guys like they trust ea. so we need to accept dice is clearly ahead of schedule

[split schooner]

[fiery shoal]

no we dont believe that, we never claimed that either, nor did we claim anything as fact like he did

[arctic grove]

imagine trust dice or ea xD

[main patrol]

Does the bot xp thing still work?

[arctic grove]

the vehicles are worse than in bf4 its still 10 times easier to do killstreaks because the maps are so bad they never got tested

How to add friends

I play on ps5 and he on pc

[fierce gull]

Go to social

[split schooner]

Again it's a thing which cannot be confirmed nor denied. Do you really trust a guy on twitter saying this stuff on the basis of "trust me bro"? So yeah. It's just one of those things which we will never know about.

[mellow tangle]

am I levelling up in tdm

[fierce gull]

Yes

[main patrol]

Does the bot xp thing still work?

[mellow tangle]

gg

[fierce gull]

Tdm has full progression

[arctic grove]

Ive uploaded 10 different 100 - 140 killstreaks just click on my profile. My gameplay is not even good the game is just so bad its so easy xD

[main patrol]

Does the solo xp work

[foggy crest]

u cant trust anyone EA or I dont know who said we are ahead of schedule

[arctic grove]

@arctic grove you strike me as someone 4 feet tall

[arctic grove]

Not working

[fiery shoal]

you can farm a bunch of idiots in a casual title while abusing vehicles... congrats

[arctic grove]

if u have a normal working brain u can farm 100 killstreaks everyday the game is so bad designed haha

He got a Special settings

[arctic grove]

abusing the bad map design that never got tested you mean. the vehicles are not to strong

[fierce gull]

I was fighting a pretty smart team in hourglass as a nightbird

[fiery shoal]

bet you wouldnt be able to get more than a 30 killstreak as infantry solo

[arctic grove]

Maybe it's all Christmas noobs

[arctic grove]

unlucky you can watch my xbox clips having 30-0 flawless tdm gameplays in bfv

[fiery shoal]

different game and game mode? nice goal post changing

[arctic grove]

congrats you noticed tdm doesnt have vehicles

[crude jackal]

Social on what?

[fierce gull]

Do you see like social in the right corner when you are in the menu?

[crude jackal]

@arctic grove

[slate snow]

Is the game good now

[fierce gull]

When you go in it there is a section where you can add people

[fiery shoal]

depends what you thought didnt make it good before

[fierce gull]

It's alright rn but I would rather wait after a couple of updates

[arctic grove]

those questions 🤣

@fierce gull Thank you 👍🏼

[fierce gull]

👍

[slate snow]

Legit almost everything

[fiery shoal]

then no

[slate snow]

Nice

[fierce gull]

So easy to annoy helis as jets

[flat tusk]

It’s “playable”

[arctic grove]

doesnt matter if a game is good or bad when u have fun

[fierce gull]

Do you have fun?

[slate snow]

But it’s hard to have fun in this game lmao

[waxen hamlet]

Especially for PS5

[arctic grove]

Love it never played a game before where I hit a 100 killstreak everyday

[slate snow]

Portal was legit the most disappointing thing I’ve ever seen in my life

[arctic grove]

Its like flight simulator just with random people u can kill

[fierce gull]

Wtf portal is amazing

[waxen hamlet]

If done right at least

[slate snow]

Did they add more to it?

[arctic grove]

portal is the biggest let down

[fierce gull]

I can do US Marines vs WW2 Germany

[arctic grove]

portal could be the best thing if they make it for free with monthly content drops and stop releasing new bf games

Portal isn't a let down its not even fully finished

[slate snow]

Don’t know why they went with bf3 instead of 4

[arctic grove]

thats why its the biggest let down. never got tested

[fierce gull]

Even more destruction than the original maps

[viral harbor]

I unlocked k30 20 levels aggo but never used it its hard at 20 ammo, now i unlocked every attachments and which should i use for its best shine?

[arctic grove]

make portal free. add a seasonpass and monthly content like maps from all battlefields and they will actually make their fans happy

[waxen hamlet]

I agree on that part

[arctic grove]

Portal is free anyone can design a map

[opaque oracle]

Anyone in game at the moment?

[arctic grove]

no you need to pay the full game. also all servers stay offline as soon as the last player left the server

[fierce gull]

I think he means make it a separate game lol

[slate snow]

I had fun the first 2 days and realized that’s the whole game lmao

[hexed plinth]

Anyone have the issue where the game resets your settings for some reason? (and is there a fix to this)

[waxen hamlet]

I'm not because I can't load in for jack shit

[arctic grove]

@arctic groveno anyone can design a map you don't need the actual game

Or game mode I should say *

make portal free. add seasonpass and monthly maps and guns from all battlefield and it would actually be a warzone contender. I mean battlefield will never come close to cod succes but atleast the players wouldnt run away from the franchise

[slate snow]

They need to revert everything

[waxen hamlet]

It's more successful than CoD specifically in terms of SBMM

[fierce gull]

Have you tried doing dumb shit like making rocket launchers unlimited ammo and no reload

[fiery shoal]

pretty sure 2042 doesnt have SBMM

[waxen hamlet]

I've make bomb drones when I was still able to play All Out War

[arctic grove]

bro are u kidding me? warzone has 300.000 daily current players. battlefield 2042 has 15.000
warzone made over a billion in just a month or something like that. dont compare bf to cod

[waxen hamlet]

That's the point

[fierce gull]

Warzone has like 299,999 hackers and 1 actual player

[arctic grove]

imagine hate a succesful game

[fiery shoal]

sbmm isnt bad either though?

[slate snow]

The maps in the game are what make this game hella boring

[flat tusk]

Warzone sucks

[arctic grove]

@arctic grove you strike me as an Impulse buyer

[waxen hamlet]

"Specifically in terms of SBMM"

[arctic grove]

the most braindead people are those who cant like 2 different games

[foggy crest]

just like any BATTLEFIELD game

[fierce gull]

Don't want people with esp in my lobby 10 times in a row

[fiery shoal]

if you think 2042 has 15k players daily... i understand why you make such ridiculous statements...

[flat tusk]

2 maps in the space it’s been out

[arctic grove]

steam numbers. xbox is even worse

[fierce gull]

Is there a playercount for Xbox?

[fiery shoal]

because looking at only steam is the logical choice...

[opaque oracle]

I had to reboot the game

[mellow tangle]

battlefield on ps5 must be low

[arctic grove]

Hearing the steam argument gets old

[arctic grove]

You cant even find a lobby when u turn crossplay off. idk about ps5
