battlefield-2042

[blissful trench]

yup

[clear hull]

well they broke their policy and news outlets are reporting it now

[muted plume]

partly. 99% of people still get their refund declined

[prisma anvil]

Oof

[hollow oyster]

i just want my 90 bucks to be worth it ;-;

[clear hull]

my refund request got declined by a real person on Steam Support

[blissful trench]

has not been my experience but - okay

[muted plume]

your experience does not reflect others

[hollow oyster]

then you are the 1% 🙏🏻

[clear hull]

You have to manually make a ticket so that a real person sees it

[blissful trench]

I mean, sure. 7/7 people. i must know a lot of 1%

[daring smelt]

Yo what’s up guys.

[tight tapir]

I was a dummy and bought it from origin

[hollow oyster]

yes and state your reason of refund and all that

[tight tapir]

They've rejected 2 of my tickets

[clear hull]

well I did say the game was broken and stated most of the reasons, yet declined

[blissful trench]

i mean if you just put - "i hate it, this game sucks" you are not getting a refund lol

[hard plume]

What was those reasons?

[muted plume]

yup. you all got lucky. if you don’t believe me go into the steam forums. go right ahead. you’ll see people say they tried 4 times and didn’t get their money back

[arctic grove]

I love it on how steam is issuing refunds to broken ass games like this one

[tight tapir]

The first time I did call they asked me to record about 5 minutes worth of feedback and said they would forward onto the community manager

[prisma anvil]

Probably won't, my bet is, after it's all said and done, game will be a slightly regressed bfv, just like how v was a small regress from 1, now, my hope is that it'll match 4 or 1, but we'll see I guess

[clear hull]

I even stated Portal no longer gains you XP to level up

[tight tapir]

Looking back I kind of laughed because I wanted to say what community manager The guy that posts once per day about some bug

[muted plume]

you need a really sympathetic valve employee if you wanna get your money back

[daring smelt]

Yeah I can’t get a refund since PlayStation told me to basically suck it lol.

[blissful trench]

it also is highly based on your amount of hours in. i did see people with a ton of play time getting rejected as well. and the people that got refunds are not going to be posting in the forums/on steam - you only are going to hear from people who DIDNT

[hard plume]

Yeah so i see why they declined your request, your reasons were probably super dumb

[clear hull]

optimization, performance, gameplay, portal, developers, etc

[hollow oyster]

sympathetic valve employee is a term I haven't heard since half life 2

[tight tapir]

False advertising, missing core features, poor performance. You have to stick to objective facts and not opinions

[hollow oyster]

eh it's more like no one's really sure what they were trying to promise tbh

[arctic grove]

battlefield 2077

[hard plume]

Half life 3 when?

[muted plume]

what if a fallout76 happens and ea/dice got sued lol

[clear hull]

that doesn't how it works out, the game/site clearly lied that you can grind your XP through portal, yet you can no longer grind XP anymore

[slate mist]

i get the missing features and ppor performance but what did dice falsely advertise

[arctic grove]

except cyberpunk music slaps unlike 2042

[clear hull]

that is called "game doesn't match up videos/screenshots" or false adverting

[hard plume]

Yes you can, to a certain extent.

[fierce epoch]

No news yet?

[arctic grove]

the soundtrack for 2042 is lame and boring

[hard plume]

Kinda actually

[whole plume]

hows my favorite server doing

[tight tapir]

We do have to be cautious here, cuz they do have a policy of banning folks that don't offer constructive criticism

[hollow oyster]

many of us expected a gritty brutal game set in the future where resources are scarce and the two largest remaining countries fight for survival etc but instead we got "i am not overconfident, i'm just better than everyone else🤷🏻‍♂️"

[arctic grove]

Exactly. It amazes me how they even manage to eff up a masterpiece.

[whole plume]

sounds like real war dont it ?

[muted plume]

am i the only one that thinks the main battlefield theme for 2042 sounds like dogshit? it sounds like someone grinding forks on plates

[clear hull]

I don't think you been on Steam before or even yet use it.

[tight tapir]

I remember playing the first time and I thought my computer was stuttering because the music was stuttering

[arctic grove]

Dont be sad. This is just how it works sometimes

[tight tapir]

And then I realized that's just the terrible soundtrack

[fierce epoch]

?

[daring smelt]

You have to also have to have evidence. They did hype it up but if you point out bugs with out evidence then they could say it was on your end. Also remember it’s a unfinished game. Why it’s unfinished I have no clue but it’s still unfinished.

[slate mist]

im looking at the steam store page here and all the videos and screenshots look like they're in the game

[arctic grove]

to me it sounds like nails on a chalkboard

[muted plume]

same thing difference concept

[clear hull]

are people actually supporting 2042?

[tight tapir]

Very few

[fierce epoch]

I have counted 2 or 3

[clear hull]

am not gonna hate yall but i wish yall luck within weeks

[muted plume]

i wish we got a battlefield 4 type of theme for 2042. it would be so good

[hard plume]

Basically someone mentioned that the communities “hot topics” issues would be address in a future patch. But didn’t give specifics.

[arctic grove]

There is a small community, r/lowsodium2042 does

I still play it. Im on S001

[tight tapir]

Some people don't really have a good yardstick to measure good games against so they think this is great

[whole plume]

Ya pretty much me cause it gives me something to do but it is pretty shit but its funny cause its bad

[fierce epoch]

I see, thank you!

[muted plume]

how do you get to S001 and what is that rank

[whole plume]

like idc what yall say but some of the bugs in the game got me dying of laughter

[daring smelt]

Its crap don’t give me wrong. 2 and 3 are the best in my opinion and 4 was also ok. But I give the game about a year for it to become actually a good game.

[clear hull]

am not saying the game is that awful but same time DICE should've done something and apologize

[hard plume]

Any time

[arctic grove]

basically rank 100 and just grinding it. better to play with friends instead of alone or else you wont make it.

[whole plume]

there a million dollar company did you just ask for a "sorry" from that ? Sounds bitch made tbh im joking relax

[fierce epoch]

I think that’s after 100. It’s like a prestige system after 100, S001, S002 and so on

[muted plume]

i’m rank 39 i cannot possibly imagine trying to get to 100

[hollow oyster]

yes and so very few that i could put my fingers up and name them in this server

[arctic grove]

After 60 you start to feel the sheer grind.

[tight tapir]

If I had played this game solo without friends in discord, I would have gotten my refund without issue, but because I had friends to buffer the disappointment and distract from the core game I kept playing

[arctic grove]

Same.

[daring smelt]

Bruh work at Walmart. They are a billion dollar company and they blamed us associates working on the front end for giving Covid to people even though you have idiots who come in with out a mask spitting on everything and touching everything.

[muted plume]

if i could refund i would. only get on to play the game for every weekly mission and don’t touch it afterwards

[fierce epoch]

You can get good exp in breakthrough

[slate mist]

sorry man feel ya

[elder patrol]

LMAO

[arctic grove]

I work at a hotel and i agree. Bare minimum for maximum exposure.

[hollow oyster]

i don't get why antimask people are a thing like bro just wear ur masks its not like some gasmask where u cant breathe or some lol

[whole plume]

i mean its Walmart everyone knows they don't give a fuck about there employees. Lmao just like the military your just a number that can be easily replaced.

[clear hull]

well I wish yall whoever is still supporting this game good luck within a few months

[arctic grove]

I work at a hotel and i agree. Bare minimum wage for maximum exposure.

[daring smelt]

Yeah but hey. I sometimes get free stuff. That’s how me and my PlayStation met.

[whole plume]

probably why you play splitgate (jokes ofc)

[slate mist]

lol XD

[daring smelt]

Yeah they don’t lol.

[muted plume]

alright i’m not sharing any of my opinions on politics but let’s just refrain from political talk

[fierce epoch]

I think it will get better

[clear hull]

i hope so

[daring smelt]

Yeah it’s getting a bit uncomfortable.

[whole plume]

I am just surprised that someone wants DICE too say sorry

[daring smelt]

Everyone wants to but he had the balls to actually say it.

[arctic grove]

id like a sorry but DICE & EA would rather flip us consumers off. just like blaming us the community for its failures.

[whole plume]

I mean yah i agree with yall the games shit but I mean at the end of the day I gotta say good fucking job made me spend cash and was like ah haha get fucked

[muted plume]

i wish i had posting perms cuz i wanna send this one fake tweet that pretty much says “we’re sorry our game fucking sucks and we’re going to bring back the class system and going to kill off the specialists in a terrible car accident”

[keen plank]

yeah I guess the raging hordes need to be appeased

[daring smelt]

There honestly living in there past glory.

[desert elbow]

Your DMs are disabled

[arctic grove]

past glory is what made bf good tho.

[whole plume]

Have you saw there real tweet that says "Imagine hating on a unfinished game #Stupid"

[tight tapir]

I did see the post about having over 100 positions available, sinking ship type vibes

[muted plume]

no bruh

[tight tapir]

If anyone wants to get into game development, this is your chance

[keen plank]

I'm sure someone could've fired back with "Imagine releasing an unfinished game and pretending it's not"

[muted plume]

i actually wanna be a game developer as my career. my first option was valve and my second was dice and third was treyarch

[arctic grove]

imagine releasing an unfinished game as a finished product

[whole plume]

😂 Bro they fucking clown on us its hilarious cause they just piss people off more but I got to say people that hate it now including me will come back every so often too see if the game changed or not

[slate mist]

all ass studios at the moment

[keen plank]

by calling it unfinished you kinda imply that it is in fact unfinished

[tight tapir]

Of course they will. It's a storied franchise for more than a decade

[muted plume]

i wouldn’t call valve ass really. they just don’t make games anymore is all, they’re still a good company

[slate mist]

yeah i guess

[arctic grove]

lets hope bf2042 doesnt die before season 1 in march

[daring smelt]

Hey man I can code a AI to play chess I think I might have a shot lol.

[whole plume]

Oh it wont trust me bud it wont

[tight tapir]

You seriously will have a chance

[muted plume]

code chess as a game mode for 2042 id play it

[tight tapir]

Not many people want to run into a burning building

[whole plume]

discord sucks ass

[muted plume]

this slow mode is hella annoying 15 seconds is over the top bruh

[whole plume]

oh but it lets me send that that's amazing

[tight tapir]

But with risk comes reward

[slate mist]

skype and microsoft teams ftw

[elder patrol]

Lol

[tight tapir]

SLACK is op

Slack started out as a gaming company too

[whole plume]

supra turbo tf ? how much boost you pushing ? nah lemme guess 500whp with 8 pounds of boost

[muted plume]

it’s honestly more entertaining to watch people roast ea and dice on twitter in the replies than play the game

[tight tapir]

I'm with ya

[whole plume]

yah and they just clap back with "okay"

[elder patrol]

Oh hell yeah

[slate mist]

bro more like 800 with some hks turbos and go faster stripes

[tight tapir]

The roasting tickles my validated outrage

[whole plume]

stickers add 100+hp everyone knows this

[muted plume]

some dude is about to ratio a certain battlefield tweet lol

[elder patrol]

Nah dude you're thinking about the flame paintjob

[karmic pond]

don't forget to rattlecan paint your calipers

[whole plume]

dont forget too buy the fake brembo covers !

[random crane]

if you run with your knife out it makes you faster

[elder patrol]

Dont forget truck nuts

[whole plume]

thats crazy who would of knew

[muted plume]

counter strike

[slate mist]

every anime waifu sticker on amazon has "adds 150+ horsepower"

[whole plume]

no no you mean 1000+hp bub

[random crane]

cough it is actually a thing if you play on bf3 servers cough

[slate mist]

yeah yeah mb

[muted plume]

very cool

[whole plume]

you know i only play 2042 for the tanks. You may shit on me all you want but hitting infantry point blank with a HE round is amazing.

Also for the amazing sound system they got in the vehicles pretty amazing

[keen plank]

more honorable than "hurr bolte go vroom"

[whole plume]

lmfao

[foggy tundra]

there is no honor in war, only glory and death

[placid echo]

I destroy a lot of tanks >:p

[whole plume]

Better watch it before I bust out the for honor rage.

[white geyser]

So many things we want for BF 2042 to be fix and some of them we even requested the one's we want

[whole plume]

You will never destroy mine and I bet money

[tight tapir]

Can anyone name something they think is really great about this game? I'm genuinely curious.

I can think of things that might be okay or decent, but there's nothing that comes to mind. That's great.

[slate mist]

weapon modeling

[placid echo]

Probably not, there's a lot of people that play this game

[foggy tundra]

bruh

[placid echo]

I've probably destroyed at least 100 tanks by now

[white geyser]

I still need the a normal missile or a tv missile for the ebaa wildcat secondary weapon to destroy enemy tank

[foggy tundra]

[elder patrol]

Ha ha condor go brrrrrrrt

[tight tapir]

I still wouldn't call it great in my opinion

[slate mist]

why reload animations are crisp and the models are very realistic

[tight tapir]

Have you tried Portal?

[foggy tundra]

ngl, the vcar was everything i wanted

[plucky plaza]

R u a tank main?

[slate mist]

#1 weapon in the game

[keen plank]

someone actually uses the vcar?

[foggy tundra]

its op af

theres a few ye

i use it for shits and giggles

[tight tapir]

I guess I will be grudgingly relaunched and pay attention in solo mode to see if I think they're great, but they weren't memorable to me cooking back

[foggy tundra]

no one expects to be domed by a silenced 50 round drum vcar 60 meters away

[placid echo]

I use C5 a lot

[foggy tundra]

fucking,.... c5 drones

[plucky plaza]

lol c5 drone go brrrr

[placid echo]

No like this. https://streamable.com/p31tzu

[keen plank]

that feel when you're also casper and zap an enemy c5 drone, and personally shoot it down afterwards

[plucky plaza]

Ok all my respect is on you

[foggy tundra]

respectable

i was just saying fucking c5 drones tbh

[plucky plaza]

Hes using C5 the chad way

[foggy tundra]

like c5 on anything aside from drones is ok

[cinder tapir]

Don’t be sad, that’s just how it works out sometimes.

I'm sorry.
I had to.

[foggy tundra]

i hate angel

with a passion

and its the lines

nothing more nothing less

[plucky plaza]

Apart from lines i love angels, they somehow revive way more than falcks from my experience

[keen plank]

angel a true bro but cringe

[tight tapir]

Do you hate when he does it again?

[karmic pond]

ANGEL DOES IT AGAIN

[cinder tapir]

all the end of round voicelines are just 🥶

[foggy tundra]

falck revives faster than angel tho

[whole plume]

I haven't even teached the game in weeks now. So I don't know what is new

[karmic pond]

Mackay is the worst by far

[plucky plaza]

Yeah (i think), but in my games falcks dont tend to revive as often for some reason lol

[placid echo]

They revive the same speed I'm pretty sure, just Falck revives you at full-health

[foggy tundra]

thatd be a bug

i have that issue sometimes

[plucky plaza]

they need to fix that in the next update for sure

[foggy tundra]

like the revive system itself is a bit buggy

[wet kernel]

dont be sad this is just how it works out sometimes

[cinder tapir]

I am not overconfident, I am just better than everyone else.

[foggy tundra]

its WAY better than launch tho

[keen plank]

imagine playing as falck just to have a personal heal gun and just ignore all your dead teammates

[whole plume]

Thinking about reaching diamond in rainbow six again cause I'm bored

[foggy tundra]

theres a 75% chance of reviving a teammate by a wall than the 0% chance before the first patch

[cinder tapir]

medpen sits in the corner crying.

[plucky plaza]

Its the problem with glitching through walls is what your talking about i presume

[foggy tundra]

ye

[wet kernel]

well well well

[tight tapir]

They just got a new creative director too

[keen plank]

that pen takes up a valuable sensor ball slot

[placid echo]

I am happy because I came across a new way to steal a vehicle call-in
https://streamable.com/9wtmun

[foggy tundra]

maria is my only specialist

[cinder tapir]

clearly

[foggy tundra]

i have not touched any other specialist

[worthy temple]

Is this link safe

[foggy tundra]

[whole plume]

Ngl rainbow is shit but its shiny shit so I accept it

[wet kernel]

this is just how it is sometimes

[tight tapir]

I stopped playing a while ago but I am excited to see where the new guy takes it and see if it returns to its roots a little bit

[foggy tundra]

lowkey miss the 2142 end of round style

straight and to the point

[whole plume]

Nah the link has about 19 viruses encrypted my Electric T rex just told me

[wet kernel]

oh sorry i am just as shocked as you

[keen plank]

2142 portal when

[foggy tundra]

bruh yes but also unlikely

[whole plume]

Nah I doubt it. Rainbow died after FLORES got released

[worthy temple]

Prolly a crypto hacking thing

[foggy tundra]

imagine having crypto

[whole plume]

Prolly damn NFT users got us again

[tight tapir]

Have no idea who that is. I'll have to Google

[foggy tundra]

the mystical google, i heed your advice, search for this name and give me signs

[whole plume]

the operator or however you spell his name. Its a guy that has a explosive drone lmao

[tight tapir]

Ah yes

[worthy temple]

Falck?

[foggy tundra]

falck is 2042

[hazy otter]

that's a big gripe of mine.. There's like 6 intro and outro screens. It takes sooooo long!!

[foggy tundra]

not rainbow

[foggy tundra]

the end of round music for 2142 was sooo good

[whole plume]

Bro rainbow literally announced his operator by saying this "A IRAQ veteran thats gay! welcome FLORES too the floor !"

[foggy tundra]

it was like, bro heres some fucking downtime

enjoy it

[keen plank]

so weird having it called rainbow when we know you're talking about Siege

[whole plume]

2042 is the best game of 2022 and 2021 change my mind

[foggy tundra]

nah 2142 is

[wide violet]

preach brother

[whole plume]

Rainbow, R six, Six, siege yk the names for it

[keen plank]

it's a rainbow 6 game, yes, but it's also not really an R6 game at the same time

[foggy tundra]

bruh my discord just crashed

[whole plume]

thats true

[foggy tundra]

[keen plank]

you're like the only person who staight up calls it rainbow tho

[foggy tundra]

bruh

im too lazy to say siege

requires more effort from voice box

[wide violet]

can we petition for a 2142 emoji

[keen plank]

shorter word take more effort

[whole plume]

I literally have a electric drone jump at my face and go boom and my whole life is over cause some guy wants too throw IEDS at my mouth

But siege is shorter but once you say Rainbow everyones like Ah he means R6 or siege

[tight tapir]

the one thing I can say about siege is that I got my money's worth

[keen plank]

like I get it but still think it's weird. like people calling their MMO characters "toons"

[whole plume]

You got your way of saying it and I got my way of saying it

[wide violet]

Yeah I hate that alot

[whole plume]

Bet you smell like teen spirit ahaha mind blowing joke am I right

[wide violet]

I dont get it

[keen plank]

I get it. does that make me old?

[arctic grove]

Rainbow six siege year 7 will gain alot of people

[wide violet]

isnt it a song?

[wise zodiac]

What's wrong with calling them toons?

I either call em toons or 'chars', lol.

[halcyon hatch]

Hate the chat feature in 2042 they should remove it entirely

[wide violet]

lol i was just saying its too peaceful in here

[halcyon hatch]

No one uses it for call outs or positivity, only for toxicity and attacking politicians at random

[keen plank]

the chat where your team complains about the rest of the team

[wide violet]

I do miss bad mouthing the other team

[wise zodiac]

That's what happens when a moderator speaks, it seems.

[dapper river]

GOD, I remember when people would call their characters/avatars "toons", I'm not even that old but why does it feel like I am

[foggy tundra]

i say toons more often

[halcyon hatch]

I’m literally loading up a game starting off in the Su-57 then suddenly the chat is spammed with “Let’s go brandon” and “you’re a sheep if you wear a mask”

[wise zodiac]

MMOs for life!

[dapper river]

I never really played them I'd just watch my uncle and cousin play WOW and City of Heroes lul

[halcyon hatch]

Man i just wanna play the Game

[wide shore]

I don’t think I’ve ever called any of my characters toons. Not one time

[wide violet]

ah yes the edgy gamer republicans

you know you can hide chat

[keen plank]

those are weird things to say during a game round, yeah

[halcyon hatch]

Every single round I’ve played seems to have the for some reason

[halcyon hatch]

I didn’t know actually could you show me

[wide violet]

"snide comment about how republicans are brain dead here"

[wide shore]

You can’t hide chat on console

[wise zodiac]

I'm old school MMO..

Ultima Online, WoW, LotRO, Star Wars Galaxies, TOR... so many more.

[wide violet]

if youre on PC its H i think if its console i have no clue

[foggy tundra]

i mostly get the salty git gud scrub chats

[halcyon hatch]

[foggy tundra]

guild wars 1?

[wise zodiac]

I have the case somewhere, but yeah, that's included.

[light flint]

Imagine cheating provider had shut down the software due to performance issues

[dapper river]

Pioneering subscription models before they were cool haha

[foggy tundra]

nice

[wide violet]

tell me about life back when it didnt have color grandpa lol

[halcyon hatch]

Even when they aren’t talking politics it’s just insulting other players, like not even in a funny or creative toxic way

[light flint]

If its like this the game really is scrappable

[wise zodiac]

I know, right? But people then actually understood that the subscription model paid for server upkeep and content.

[wide shore]

You almost sound upset about that

[keen plank]

can also use team chat to uselessly tell them you're marking targets with a soflam while the team continues to not carry any M5s and get murdered by vehicles.

[foggy tundra]

i hate subscription based games

[wide violet]

sorry bud. maybe if you released Henderson we wouldnt have this issue lol

[light flint]

I am upset on the game being too rocky even cheating softwares dont work properly lol

[halcyon hatch]

Indeed I’m considering uninstalling this game again until the battle pass thing starts

[light flint]

Hope game would heal up soon

[wide shore]

I’m upset cheaters haven’t fallen off the face of the earth yet

[foggy tundra]

cheaters need to shoo

[light flint]

Cheaters should be poisoned

[foggy tundra]

tone it down

[wide violet]

Ive noticed its been rampant in the past few years, i dont get it

[wide shore]

Ease of access

[wise zodiac]

I did play this one game, I'm not sure of the name...

You are "God", and you basically create these Titanesque creatures that go around, and the villagers sacrifice things to you..

It's a pretty old game.

I also played Myst... and that's super old, so...

[halcyon hatch]

Some people don’t seem to know what they are doing, others are exploiting every possible glitch they can, a large amount just sit in the chat and insult people, and the minority remaining actually tries to salvage each shitshow of a round

[wide violet]

dude BLACK AND WHITE???? that game was fire. Fun Fact EA bought the company that made Black and White

[foggy tundra]

the oldest thing i enjoyed was the 1960s astro boy shows

[wise zodiac]

I prefer subscription based games, because I know I'll at least get content.

[halcyon hatch]

I will release him when the battle pass occurs

[light flint]

Which game is better now
Battlefield V or Bf2042

[wise zodiac]

IS IT BLACK AND WHITE?

I couldn't remember the name.

[keen plank]

but it also helps not to care whether the team actually plays well or not, and just keep doing your thing, whatever it may be.

[halcyon hatch]

I always liked BFV tbh

[wide violet]

I played the hell outta that game when i was a wee lad

[foggy tundra]

i mean wow is... blizzard and ff14s story and voice acting is just... bland

[halcyon hatch]

Can’t say the same for 2042, and considering the lack of people communicating from dice I doubt it’ll improve soon

[wide violet]

say sike rn (regarding ff14)

[light flint]

I will always love all the games prequel to bf2042

[foggy tundra]

nah

[foggy tundra]

whatcha gonna do about it?

[wise zodiac]

Yeah, it is black and white! I loved that game.

[wide violet]

furiously spam nonsense on this discord? what else do you expect sir!?

[foggy tundra]

thats what i was expecting to be said

[halcyon hatch]

I didn’t really like BF4 but I enjoyed the other battlefields released in the last decade

[wide violet]

I thought we had a bond due to our love of 2142 but i see now

[wise zodiac]

WoW was fun, before MoP. I haven't touched it since it released. I wasn't a fan of the whole "Kung Fu Panda" thing.

[foggy tundra]

i mean i have spent over 10 hours in ff14, but its like, i cant get into it

[light flint]

I mean i think bf2042 should have used the animations and UI from past games, not a whole literal remake of the game, you need to help a proned enemy up just to take them downtown again

[wide violet]

https://tenor.com/view/obiwan-star-wars-obi-wan-gif-10973435

[robust sparrow]

How long until bf 6 😂

[foggy tundra]

yea i heard it was lit back in the day but lately is trash

[halcyon hatch]

Also is it just me or does it feel really hard to get kills as infantry?

[foggy tundra]

made ff14 and guild wars 2 the top 2 mmos

[wise zodiac]

I heard these last two expansions were good.. but I dunno.

[wide violet]

I will admit that ARR or 2.0 is pretty dull. It's all world building

[foggy tundra]

wow is now 3rd place for top mmo

[foggy tundra]

like i love the world and shit

[light flint]

Tbh i should've bought elden ring with the money

[foggy tundra]

but like im used to guild wars 2s combat system

ff14 feels too turnbasey to me

[wise zodiac]

I just bought Biomutant.

[foggy tundra]

its eh from what i remember

[wide violet]

if you can stick it out to Heavensward I think you'd enjoy it.

[light flint]

👍

[wise zodiac]

The game was fun when I played it on the free weekend it had.

[foggy tundra]

i preordered it

oh man

[wide violet]

I never played Guild Wars, heard it was good back in the day

[foggy tundra]

gw1 was amazing

onpar with wow

like wow in its hayday

still has a small playerbase too

[wide violet]

yeah I watched some british dude in a vest talk about it on Youtube. Seems like it was a good time

[wise zodiac]

I couldn't get into Guild Wars though.

What I could get into, was Star Wars Galaxies and the JTL expansion.

[foggy tundra]

gw1 was unique

[woven rampart]

I can’t tell who your username is supposed to be flaming lol

[wise zodiac]

Being able to fly around in a space yacht.. it was fucking awesome.

[foggy tundra]

much prefer how gw2 handles instances

[wide violet]

Battlefield Franchise, been playing since 1942 and 2042 is dogwater

[foggy tundra]

im assuming youve played eve huh?

[woven rampart]

Damn you hate apex that much

[wise zodiac]

EVE has an extreme learning curve

[foggy tundra]

ahahahaha

ye you def played it for a bit

[wise zodiac]

I tried, I put about 10-12 hours into it

[foggy tundra]

eve is a game you play for life if you ever get into it

[wide violet]

Nah Apex is fun for what it is. But if you look at 2042 you can see its essentially a copy paste of Apex Legends

[foggy tundra]

i played 10 years and dropped

[wise zodiac]

Couldn't get the hang of it.

[foggy tundra]

yea its an extreme curve

[woven rampart]

I mean
I
I guess?

[wise zodiac]

If I ever get my computer built, I might get back into MMOs again..

[foggy tundra]

bro join me in gw2

[halcyon hatch]

I disagree. Apex has consistent hit markers and more fun gunplay

[foggy tundra]

its free

[wise zodiac]

I'm thinking TOR

[woven rampart]

They’re both hero shooters ig

[wise zodiac]

Or LotR:O

[woven rampart]

“Consistent hitmarkers”

[wide violet]

Again, ive played every single BF since they first dropped in 2005. and 2042 is more like Warzone/Apex than it is a battlefield game

[halcyon hatch]

Something that doesn’t apply to 2042

[woven rampart]

That game has got to have the worst hitreg of any game I’ve played

[wide violet]

in my personal opinion

[foggy tundra]

MAYBE

thats why my knifing is sucky

[woven rampart]

And I have like 600 hrs in it

[foggy tundra]

[wide violet]

I just want 2142 to come back

[foggy tundra]

BRING BACK TITAN MODE

[woven rampart]

Dude 1942 was in 2005 I’m so old

[foggy tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/eric-andre-let-me-wahh-wild-go-gif-13490041

[wide violet]

Id kill for titan mode bro

[halcyon hatch]

Or carrier assault

[foggy tundra]

bruh titan mode was fucking amazing

[wide violet]

like point out 5 ppl in this discord. Im desperate man

[woven rampart]

Yeah I haven’t had any hitreg issues in 2042. Apex is like gambling a lot of times very quickly.

[foggy tundra]

titan mode is the god of carrier assault

the original

the originator of carrier assault

[wide violet]

Carrier Assault was a cheap imitation

[foggy tundra]

yes yes it was

[woven rampart]

How do you type so fast
I hate this slow mode timer

[foggy tundra]

im immune to slow mo

[wide violet]

Great Value Titan mode if you will

[halcyon hatch]

I wish I didnt have that problem with 2042

[wise zodiac]

I think I'll be getting back into TOR.

[foggy tundra]

walmart titan mode

[wise zodiac]

This shit looks lit.

[foggy tundra]

the old republic?

[halcyon hatch]

They should remove it now. There hasn’t been a massive spam that I can recall in the last month

[wide violet]

u lyin. this discord around 1pm-5pm est is a toxic cesspool lol

[woven rampart]

Idk man. I haven’t had any server issues or bugs at all, and the slight stutter in 128 man breakthrough is gone for me now. Server issue.

[foggy tundra]

bruh 2042 is almost more active than gen chat on a minutely basis

[halcyon hatch]

Well I haven’t been on recently (last two weeks or so) therefore I can’t fully say

[jovial saffron]

why do people not like battlefield 2042?

[foggy tundra]

that my friend

[woven rampart]

Bandwagoning

[foggy tundra]

is a very big question

[wide violet]

yeah come back during the day

[halcyon hatch]

You’re just lucky I suppose

[halcyon hatch]

Where do you want me to start?

[unkempt linden]

whatever you think is most important

[halcyon hatch]

Maybe lower it down to 10 ig

[woven rampart]

several people are typing

[wide violet]

my dood. That is a loaded question

[jovial saffron]

I played Battlefield 2042 since Xbox let players play for free for the weekend, and it was pretty fun. My friend and I were laughing so much.

[foggy tundra]

i do not have that power

https://tenor.com/view/aceventura-i-dont-have-the-power-gif-9955075

[halcyon hatch]

I would argue the glitches and bugs are the most critical and game breaking stuff, at least on Xbox

[jovial saffron]

how

[wide violet]

You play other Battlefields before?

[foggy tundra]

as ace ventura once said

[halcyon hatch]

I would argue the glitches and bugs are the most critical and game breaking stuff, at least on Xbox

[woven rampart]

I don’t get why people are hating it honestly

[foggy tundra]

i cant do it captain, i dont have the power

[halcyon hatch]

I have been unable to share that experience unfortunately

[jovial saffron]

yes, battlefield 3,4 hardline, bad company, 1 and V

[woven rampart]

As much as I love 2042

[wide violet]

Thats why you like it. Alot of the old heads dont care for it. Atleast from what i've seen

[jovial saffron]

wdym

[woven rampart]

BF1 was the days

[unkempt linden]

for me its the performance issues, and some not so nice map design

[halcyon hatch]

The amount of camping and random blindside kills that occur in 2042 make it feel like an over bloated MW to me without the satisfying gunplay

[woven rampart]

This mans been playing for over a decade and he’s not an old head

[wise zodiac]

https://youtu.be/2bmsNa9GOR0

[wide violet]

imo battlefield starting going downhill with Bad Company. The focus to appeal to consoles started hurting the franchise. I can speak english

[halcyon hatch]

Bf-2042’s size would be better for a milsim game. Unfortunately however it’s just a regular shooter with the added vehicle bonus

[jovial saffron]

idk man, all the battlefields are pretty good, well for me at least.

[hard plume]

You play it?

[heady raptor]

anyone have an estimate of the next update

[hard plume]

Soon

[heady raptor]

lack of guns is depressing

[halcyon hatch]

It’s not like SWBF2 which is so broken in all manners you can’t complain about balance and the constant unexpected stuff makes it fun. It’s just broken in a different way

[wide violet]

End of the day bud. Some people think eating well done steaks with ketchup is the right way to eat a steak, and who am I to tell them theyre wrong

[foggy tundra]

the lack guns is like the lack of uniqueness bf4 guns had

[heady raptor]

Soon^tm

[foggy tundra]

[halcyon hatch]

True

[wise zodiac]

Haven't played TOR since about a year after launch.

[halcyon hatch]

Most BF4 guns felt the same to me tbh

[foggy tundra]

the only variation was attachments and caliber

[jovial saffron]

uhh ok

[foggy tundra]

which... 2042 also has

[heady raptor]

honestly, I dont see the big controversy of this game, like yeah the atmosphere is not gritty, but thats soemthing the devs can fix right?

[unkempt linden]

do you eat steaks with ketchup?

[wide violet]

Also EA tends to do this thing where they ruin games. Looking at Mass Effect and Dragon Age

[halcyon hatch]

Honestly I’m willing to bet that most BF4 guns had the same stats pounded into them but slightly tuned up/down

[foggy tundra]

if giant ass earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis/volcanic eruptions get added, id be down for it

[wide violet]

they push monetization onto the devs which creates features no one asked for

[foggy tundra]

precisely what it is

scope or no scope has like a difference of a few stat points for accuracy

or range

[heady raptor]

is the ac-42 top tier?

[foggy tundra]

bf1 and v have a similar thing

[foggy tundra]

vcar is epik

[halcyon hatch]

While EA can take the blame for trying to get as much money as it can out of the game, I do think that the devs are indeed partly at fault here, mainly for the lack of communication and failure to fix clear issues

[wide violet]

I dont like steaks. point is everyone has their preferences

[jovial saffron]

My friend and I were playing 2042 and he landed some sort of helicopter but it was right on top of me and it squished me into the ground and flung me across the map. 🤣 we laughed so hard

[foggy tundra]

id say both parties are also at fault tbh

[wide violet]

Like Twiggs said, fault falls onto both.

[halcyon hatch]

Yeah that’s why I said the devs are partly at fault

[foggy tundra]

but as DICE hasnt thrown qa testers under the bus yet, id say theyre doing better than cd projekt red

[halcyon hatch]

Does cyberpunk still even get updated?

[wide violet]

shots lol

[foggy tundra]

i think that roadmap is still ongoing

[wide violet]

yup, theres rumors theyll eventually add an online component to the game

[foggy tundra]

wow its almost 2 years old

time fucking flies

[halcyon hatch]

Very slowly it seem.

[daring smelt]

Thanks. I love Java script, C++, and python the most.

[burnt swan]

Rumored to get a re launch or something soon

[foggy tundra]

but ye, the fact that DICE has, without arguing about there never being bugs in the beta or what the QA Testers had publically, is miles better than a few other studios, like cd projekt red

[halcyon hatch]

Btw do we even have a roadmap for 2042?

[ashen wadi]

Cyberpunk 2079

[arctic grove]

i said it once and ill say it again. they will "fix" the game up release a couple maps and call it quits history repeats itself (starwars battlefront 2)

[dapper river]

oh shit son was a dev in here earlier and I missed it? godspeed

[foggy tundra]

i mean i dont own 2077

[wide violet]

nope

[halcyon hatch]

CD project red did outright false advertising lmao

[worldly mesa]

The level of cope in this one comment lol. Delusional

[halcyon hatch]

I would be saddened if dice ever reached that level

[wide violet]

thats why alot of people are mad. DICE/EA havent said a word in a while

[arctic grove]

the only company so far to take it to the next level is no man sky devs

[wide violet]

The most recent was a Dev saying players had burtal expectations or something

[foggy tundra]

i mean they literally relaunched it from scratch

[halcyon hatch]

I’m guessing that If dice doesn’t start talking or fix a bunch of bugs or give content within the next month this game will die out quickly

[wide violet]

steam player base has dropped pretty significantly

[ashen wadi]

Will admit one thing. EA knows how to market. Put in 1 rendazook and people go nuts.

[halcyon hatch]

Bf1 is more active rn than in the summer

[keen plank]

the announcement for this game was pretty hype

[foggy tundra]

and then flatline

i was pissed about constantly rubberbanding

[wide violet]

I think we all were. Im kinda mad at myself, I hyped it up to be a battlefield 4.5

[foggy tundra]

theres no reason why i shouldve been hitting 45k ping on a US East server when im west coast

[arctic grove]

thats what i mean. they didnt half ass it, they could have easily pulled an EA and fixed a few things, released a couple new things and patted themselves on the back

[halcyon hatch]

Bf2042 is a bigger fuckup than the marketing and launch of BFV combined.

[foggy tundra]

my other complaint is, if they were going with specialist

they shouldve gone for faction specific

at the very least

[halcyon hatch]

Yep

[worldly mesa]

It’s going to get Anthem’d

[halcyon hatch]

A Russian fighting the for the Americans doesn’t make sense, especially against his own nation

[wide violet]

I 200% agree with this

[arctic grove]

starwarsd

[foggy tundra]

dead spaced

actually wait

theyre remaking dead space

[graceful hatch]

specialist system isnt bad, its just not battlefield. if theyd made this exact game (minus bugs etc ofc) and called it anything other than battlefield it would have probbaly gone down alright

[wide violet]

They dropped Battlefront 2 and BF5 to make this game

[halcyon hatch]

What ever happened to that game I remember all the ads for it

[foggy tundra]

it got canned

[keen plank]

this is like a tentpole title for the company, they're not gonna let it die off like Anthem

[worldly mesa]

EA killed it. Suspended all development

[halcyon hatch]

I swear they must’ve put 40% of the budget into marketing

[ashen wadi]

There really isnt a war feeling. No factions. Maps are more janked from weather than any fighting.

[halcyon hatch]

Damn, how long did it take for that to happen?

[foggy tundra]

a year or 2 i think?

[graceful hatch]

same thing that happened with BFV, they did a few minor updates, made 1000 promises and strung everyone along for 6-12 months and then canned it

[foggy tundra]

i think 2020 it got canned

[halcyon hatch]

It looked like some weird halo 5 and Titanfall knockoff

[worldly mesa]

They actually killed it after promising to work on it 😂. Like 2 months after they promised to redevelop it got plug pulled

[foggy tundra]

yea

EA said fuck this its dead

[ashen wadi]

Anthems marketing was literally a lie too. The gameplay trailer was smoke and mirrors

[halcyon hatch]

Can you still buy it or no

[foggy tundra]

but then BioWare came swinging back with MELE

MELE was gooood

[worldly mesa]

You can but don’t waste your money. It’s dead

[halcyon hatch]

Honestly I think by 2025 Activision and EA will start to collapse

[graceful hatch]

yeah they promised some big 2.0 reboot that was going to completely revamp the game and then about 4-6 months after that they nuked it, anthem is a joke. and yes ofc u can still buy it lol

[keen plank]

when in doubt, rerelease old established game

[foggy tundra]

its still on ea play too i think

[wide violet]

Turned out that Devs worked on it for 8yrs and had nothing to show for it and then EA strong armed them into releasing it

[halcyon hatch]

Must’ve spent half their time doing lines of crack if that’s the case

[foggy tundra]

tbh, mass effect was really good, and MELE exceeded expected sales

however

[halcyon hatch]

Fire those devs tbh.

[ashen wadi]

EA even told them to put flying in. Which was the fun part

[foggy tundra]

you also have the gta remaster

[muted plume]

what’s that mean

[foggy tundra]

which flopped hard af

[halcyon hatch]

Nuked

[foggy tundra]

canned

[halcyon hatch]

Nullified.

[arctic grove]

anthem would have never died had they didnt spend so long trying to figure out what the game wanted to be

[graceful hatch]

to be fair, a more realistic explanation was they spent a couple years with it on the back burner then spent a few years wrestling with the engine to get it to do what they wanted since it wasnt really the right engine for the type of game they were making, followed by a year or so of frenzied development into a rushed launch, resulting in it promptly going tits up

[worldly mesa]

EA is going to promise us they’ll fix the game then suspend all development on the game under a year later

[muted plume]

oh wait anthem was that one game that flopped like horribly right

[foggy tundra]

they kept revising the story

like 2077 had the same issue

[worldly mesa]

Yep lol

[foggy tundra]

2042 as well

but 2042s issues go beyond just story changing

[halcyon hatch]

Also they kinda did the same with BFV.

[wide violet]

im genuinely interested on how they approach this. Depending on how they approach the fuckk up that is 2042 the whole community will just flame them and EA will win worst company of the year agian lol

[plucky plaza]

I remember being super hyped for 2042 from June 9 2021

[arctic grove]

i just realized EA hasnt made any kinda good game that isnt copy paste since xbox 360 days

[worldly mesa]

There is a story?

[graceful hatch]

some idiot doodling on a storyboard and changing it constantly does not equate to broken games, they outright bungled the development of that game by trying to cram a square peg into a round hole as far as the engine choice went

[halcyon hatch]

Like it was clear the game was having a comeback then suddenly the killed it to “make sure 2042 had a good launch”

[astral birch]

Boa noite

[foggy tundra]

theyll prob go radio silent til like maybe mid feb early march, launch a huge ass content burst and see what happens

[arctic grove]

press x to doubt

[foggy tundra]

the scenario for 2042 was repeatedly changed

[wide violet]

thats what im thinking as well. I just know the EA earnings call is in Feb so that'll be interesting

[halcyon hatch]

They did it with BFV, and pre launch 2042

[keen plank]

remember when they said 2042 development was "ahead of schedule"?

[foggy tundra]

this is just from my exp observing the dev team i volunteer with

[arctic grove]

bfv was a joke and so is 2042

[wide violet]

big yikes lol

[foggy tundra]

they do this exact thing

[graceful hatch]

thats not a justification for such a shitty game though as the entire development team arent responsible for sitting making up stories for the game lol

[halcyon hatch]

Yep they were constantly claiming that the game was doing so well

[foggy tundra]

never said it was justified

[halcyon hatch]

BFV is good tbh

[plucky plaza]

Bfv aint a joke now imo

[wide violet]

BF5 is a good game its just that WW2 is overplayed

[foggy tundra]

what i meant was, changing it over and over again with deadlines is a poorly planned operation

[craggy marten]

The new remasters flopped? I was expecting that collection to do good even if the garbage in it was known by everyone because it's GTA.

[foggy tundra]

rockstar had a mobile game dev team work on it and well

it flopped

[arctic grove]

its not, the only people who say that are the ones who stuck around and liked it, the same with whats going on with 2042. which are minoritys

[keen plank]

probably because it had more "garbage" than even the original games had

[craggy marten]

Good. That's what they get for being lazy and greedy.

[graceful hatch]

it just doesnt seem like a relevant detail, u could change the story of halo 3 90000000 times, it doesnt have any effect on the core gameplay, like changing the character names and the planets they go to doesnt suddenly mean the guns have uncontrollable recoil and lvl 900 bloom

[foggy tundra]

this is sugar coating what happened to the remaster for gta

[halcyon hatch]

What? I stuck around with BFV and liked it. I’ve uninstalled 2042 twice.

[wide violet]

GTA remaster comparisons from the OGs to the Remaster are 10/10

[foggy tundra]

bruh writers for game dev companies spend weeks formulating one chapter of an event

not days not hours but weeks

im not excusing it, but when you have deadlines, having to repeatedly change the scenario, the content etc, is really bad

every dev group knows this

[arctic grove]

yet there are still people defending 2042 just like there are people still defending bfv. minorities. that simple

[wide violet]

hm

[halcyon hatch]

I mean I’ve seen a massive uptick in BFV servers so I think that’s enough evidence

[craggy marten]

BFV is pretty fun tho ngl.

[halcyon hatch]

You’re just making vague assumptions without any real backing honestly

[wide violet]

upvote

[keen plank]

who in their right mind thought it was a good idea to boast the game was ahead of schedule when it wasn't? needed to hit the copium before it came in hot for the holiday sales?

[graceful hatch]

read what i said. changing the story of a game had literally nothing to do with the mechanics of a game unless ur needing to make new mechanics to conform to the story.

changing the names of all the characters, removing characters and changing the time period from 2077 to 2377 doesnt change how the weapons would function, at best its a cosmetic thing requiring a reskin of the weapons or making them shoot "lasers" or something. it doesnt actually affect the mechanics of the weapons ie - recoil, bloom, etc etc

[halcyon hatch]

I would refund 2042 if I could honestly

[wide violet]

need that shmoney son

[rustic roost]

pump and dump game is my guess

[craggy marten]

Everything about 2042 is yet again, rushed as hell.

[arctic grove]

the ones who wanted those pre order sales

[foggy tundra]

well part of 2042s story change involved an overhaul of the mechanics

like 2042 was originally something completely different multiple times.

[graceful hatch]

well it looks like its really worked out for them, 100k player peak day 1 👏 🥳

[arctic grove]

2042 was a br at first and than switch to hazardzone

[craggy marten]

They need to revamp the entire game, which will be impossible because that would mean changing:

The movement, the physics for vehicles, the voice lines, the immersion, map design, customization, options, UI, EXP rewards, basic necessities need to be added back that should have been here since Day 1.

[bold meadow]

I cant fully blame 2042 anymore
Knowing what it was supposed to be and having it changed 200 times its just sad

[graceful hatch]

BR as a genre needs to just go away tbh, its like a disease thats just infecting everything these days and its really bastardising a lot of franchises

BR as a genre needs to just go away tbh, its like a disease thats just infecting everything these days and its really bastardising a lot of franchises

[arctic grove]

dice devs didnt have faith in the br so they switched gears and turned into this pile of garbage

[wide violet]

When you find out 2042 was just gonna be Hazard Zone is when it clicked for me

[craggy marten]

The only way I see them doing a massive revamp like this is if they made a- hear me out:

Battlefield 2043

[foggy tundra]

BR is overmade tbh

[wide violet]

BR shouldve stayed as an Arma 2 mod

[craggy marten]

You don't say.

[foggy tundra]

like if they want an online only exp, shouldve just went with a 2142 remake/remaster

[wide violet]

preach brother

[bold meadow]

Br is way to over done
Its just annoying now

[keen plank]

at least they had the sense to do that cause this game would've really went down the toilet if they actually thought turning this franchise into a BR would be a good idea

[graceful hatch]

it is and thats fine, personally i hate BRs but if people want to play them, let them play them. make a BR game, dont try to toe the line between dedicated multiplayer and BR with some kind of cringey BR mode wedged in there

[craggy marten]

They would still find a way to mess it up, that's the thing.

[foggy tundra]

unfortunately, MELE and fallen order gave me some faith

[graceful hatch]

remember a couple years back when COD tried to become Halo and Halo tried to become COD and they were some of the most poorly received entries in their respective series lol? its almost as if people buy a game to play that game

[wide violet]

youre missing the part where its easy to monetize and thats all that matters for big AAA companies

[foggy tundra]

might as well just play titanfall at that point

[craggy marten]

That's the thing, EA's SINGLEplayer games don't get these monetization schemes seen in their major multiplater games that fuck rhe game up entirely one way or another.

[wide violet]

stares at Dragon Age Inquisition

[foggy tundra]

AND theyre remaking dead space, like bruh, they pull this off, theyll be raking in cash

[graceful hatch]

cue $.99 lightsaber battery recharges 😂

[foggy tundra]

still better than andromeda

[arctic grove]

they do, but they just fail. aka masseffect multiplayer

[foggy tundra]

when they said they were not including mp in MELE, i got so fucking happy

[craggy marten]

Bruh that's why I say SINGLEPLAYER games, read again!

[foggy tundra]

mass effect used to have mp

[wide violet]

lmaooo. Im still confused as to why DA:Inquisition had multiplayer co-op that was riddled with mtx

[foggy tundra]

i was confused too

[keen plank]

imagine having to play multiplayer deathmatches to advance in your singleplayer campaign

[foggy tundra]

like.... mp doesnt fit DAI

or DA in general

[worldly agate]

so sick of ejecting but ending up on top of the heli/plane

[wide violet]

who tf played Dragon Age a single player game for co-op

[arctic grove]

you said single player games dont get these.... maybe you should re read?

[craggy marten]

EA's singleplayer games don't get drastically altered to the point they exist to just take your money after they took your money again with cosmetics.

[foggy tundra]

they removed that from 3 in MELE, was fucking pog

and they lowered the galactic readiness score max from 10k to 7k

[wide violet]

ME3 forced you to player mulitplayer to continue the singleplayer story???

[foggy tundra]

in a way

[arctic grove]

so does everyone hate on 2042 here?

[foggy tundra]

its a bit complicated

[wide violet]

yikes

[iron blade]

Id say its 50/50

[foggy tundra]

so they had MP to help you gain galactic readiness, which determines if you get a good or bad ending

however you could totally skip it and still get a decent ending

[wide violet]

Loaded potato bud. TL:DR im not mad im disappointed

[foggy tundra]

but for shepard to live, i think you had to do mp

[wide violet]

bro thats trash lol

[foggy tundra]

but in the remaster, they overhauled the game and so ME1, ME2 choices affect galactic readiness in ME3

and no mp

and they dropped the score max from 10k to 7k

[wide violet]

ah thats cool. Merged into one and tossed out the poopoo mp

[foggy tundra]

ye

i was like, BROOOOO

354 hours played into it

[wide violet]

EA can do good things it just takes them a decade 😄

[foggy tundra]

[foggy tundra]

fallen order is an exception

titanfall 2 as well

[arctic grove]

agreed

[wide violet]

god Fallen Order and Titanfall 2.

[foggy tundra]

i loved fallen orders story

[wide violet]

F in the chat for Titanfall 2 bois. We'll never see Titanfall 3

[foggy tundra]

it wasnt over the top, it wasnt cringey

[arctic grove]

what about star wars battlefront

[foggy tundra]

it actually fit

[foggy tundra]

i prefer the og swbf

pandemic games sw battlefront 2 to be exact

[wide violet]

i am happy EA is losing the license. More chances for good Star Wars stories

[foggy tundra]

nb4 ubisoft fucks up again

[wide violet]

lmaoooo get ready for Assassins Creed but its starwars

[foggy tundra]

bruh no

actually

that... that may work

dare i say it

[keen plank]

yeah maybe this time the promising sounding projects like 1313 won't get cancelled out of the blue

[foggy tundra]

[wide violet]

yeah youre right Far Cry 22 but its star wars

[foggy tundra]

ew

[arctic grove]

you think rainbow 6 extraction is gonna be a hit or a miss

[keen plank]

miss me with the bs

[wide violet]

fkn Ubi man. They really release the same games every year with minor updates and make Stacks

[foggy tundra]

i want ubisoft to launch a fully baked game with no exp boosters

[wide violet]

and I want clean drinking water for the whole planet

[foggy tundra]

we cant allow that

[keen plank]

extraction likely gonna be a miss, it already got ratio'd into becoming a budget title

[foggy tundra]

bruh

i found out rainbow six siege was supposed to be something entirely different

[wide violet]

then im sorry but for this purple weapon you need to purchase this NFT real quick, its only $7.5k

[foggy tundra]

i was soooo pissed

[foggy tundra]

lmaooo

[wide violet]

Wasnt Siege supposed to be another Rainbow?

[keen plank]

not the best sign when all the new marketing for extraction is like new low price!

[foggy tundra]

it was supposed to be a game about fighting terrorists, however a certain group of americans decided to attempt to reenact what was shown in the video game trailer so to avoid any repercussions, ubisoft changed the story

[wide violet]

If i see an Ubisoft sticker on a game I wash my eyes and move onto something else

[arctic grove]

game is dogshit

[keen plank]

siege was supposed to be almost like a real R6 game, or something akin to SWAT 4

[foggy tundra]

ye

but people decided to people

[arctic grove]

play bf4 fuck 2042

[foggy tundra]

play 2142

[arctic grove]

failure of a game and i got a refund

[wide violet]

oof. I remember that trailer back in the day, where they were on a bridge or something

[foggy tundra]

YE

I WAS LIKE WAIT

thats what siege was supposed to be?

bruh i wouldve preordered it

[arctic grove]

im only here to play with ppl on bf4 fuck battlefield 2042

[wide violet]

Makes me miss oldschool rainbow games

[keen plank]

ah yes, the swiftly cancelled R6 Patriots

[foggy tundra]

if youre gonna be repetitive you can go elsewhere

[wide violet]

the old Ghost Recon/SOCOM days

[foggy tundra]

socom us navy seals was lit

[plucky plaza]

I recommend LFG

[arctic grove]

Makes me question you're braincells in your head, any adult with a brain hates 2042

[keen plank]

ok thank you for your inspired input

[wide violet]

banned?

[arctic grove]

its a garbage 2/10 game and no one likes it, but here u are defending ir

[wide violet]

stop being toxic bro, go to reddit

[plucky plaza]

Bro who hurt u lol

[arctic grove]

shut the fuck up? puto? 2042 is shit

[wide violet]

i know?

[sweet trench]

LMAOOO bf42 cant even break 9k players a day 😭😭😭😭

[arctic grove]

im laughing u idiots like a broken game with spamming hovercrafts and NO LEADERBOARDS

[wide violet]

were on the same page youre just being a child about it

[keen plank]

imagine joining a server just to have your gimmick be peepee poopoo, game bad

[arctic grove]

dog shit

[wide violet]

must have had a hard day in 2nd grade

[sweet trench]

Only about 7500 idiots in a 24hr period play this garbage.

[wide violet]

on steam, we dont know console numbers

[craggy marten]

Probably same amount, more or less.

[wide violet]

I couldnt be a mod for this discord bruh. Id be banning tf outta ppl

[plucky plaza]

You’re acting like people cant have fun lol

[sweet trench]

Definitely less. If my buddies 1660 super cant run it well than a console runs it like garbage

[craggy marten]

Console actually runs it well.

[plucky plaza]

Bf2042 isnt optimised well on pc ill give u that

[wide violet]

its that meme where two sides are having a decent conversation and then a group of idiots covered in shit and piss run in screaming "ded game lul" trash game lul" "peepee poopoo lul"

[sweet trench]

Probably a total of 20k people playing. I just don’t understand how u make a game without everything that makes BF.

[craggy marten]

It's simple: assimilation for more money.

[wide violet]

Monetization baby, daddy needs his 15th yacht

[wet berry]

People who are still playing Battlefield 2042 are playing against Bots. I guess that's the reason they put Bots in the 1st place.

[sweet trench]

I love how they dont listen. EA ruins just about everything.

[craggy marten]

EA forced DICE and they willingly copied every hot thing at the current moment in the FPS market.

Except done so lazily to the point that every single aspect has a flaw.

[wide violet]

yall not ready for this leak but I heard that season 1 will have NFTs /s

[wet berry]

Their laziness is evident. The maps look empty. No destruction.

[sweet trench]

Their cover art and digital art looks good. Not what I paid 100 bucks for, we all got scammed with false advertising.

[craggy marten]

Nah, no they won't have NFTS.

[graceful hatch]

they did that one already, its called halo infinite lol

[craggy marten]

Just standard BP cosmetics.

[wet berry]

Might have them for Battlefield 3 or 4

[plucky plaza]

Yeah the maps def need more work i agree, its filled with open fields rn

[wide violet]

lol!

[craggy marten]

Both games are dealt with, why would they add NFTs to those games now?

[sweet trench]

Help me get my money back. False advertising.

[wide violet]

Infinite was cool but it feels empty af

[foggy tundra]

and youre asking me because?

[wide violet]

hes a mod not a dev

[plucky plaza]

I wish infinite had the same progression system as MCC

[foggy tundra]

the campaign felt like a halo game, like meh nothing too exciting

[wet berry]

Nothing smells better than cash (For EA) A
Nothing might bring back old memories (NFT buyers)

[craggy marten]

Everyone keeps bringing up false advertising and shit but no one taking it to court lmao.

[foggy tundra]

^

[wide violet]

my issue is the progression system and the stupidly high dollar skins. $10 for a color scheme is steep af

[foggy tundra]

bruh this is why i dont touch halo mp

[keen plank]

consumers must be aggressive in driving back any ideas to NFT established franchises

[craggy marten]

It's a crime, you know.

[plucky plaza]

10 dollars for cat ears on ur spartan, worth it

[graceful hatch]

infinite was great but ultimately it felt really short and i had this unpleasant feeling of "man so this really is just farcry open world mechanics with halo pasted over the top" and i find it hard to give the game a thumbs up when it couldnt even launch with coop campaign, like wow lol

[foggy tundra]

it is indeed a crime to falsely advertise

like

[wet berry]

I play battlefield nowadays only because they have bots added. Otherwise, the game is dead.

[sweet trench]

The millions in revenue were dispersed at the expense of hundreds of thousands of customers. 60-100 a person isn’t something to go to court for

[craggy marten]

If NFTs are introduced the player base will drop EVEN MORE.

[foggy tundra]

didnt halo fail to back up its promise?

[wide violet]

same here if they just kept MCCs progression Halo would have CS:GO number of players rn

[craggy marten]

Probably like 3k players on STEAM if that scheme gets announced.

[graceful hatch]

class action law suits would disagree with u

[sweet trench]

Halo is dead

[wet berry]

Yea. Like how Majority burgers look good on screens vs the actual small bun u receive after payment.

[tribal geyser]

update please

[plucky plaza]

Oof csgo is hard to beat

[foggy tundra]

its like mcdonalds, dont trust the image shown

[plucky plaza]

I just want to customize my spartan by grinding

[wet berry]

Exactly

[proper crater]

[graceful hatch]

2042 is still choking to death on its own mediocrity

[plucky plaza]

Not paying 10 bucks if ye know what i mean

[wide violet]

think about it, if Infinites FREE mp had normal xp based progression and you can gain everything by just playing the game

[graceful hatch]

except mcdonalds has the policy where if it isnt made right u can get it replaced

[keen plank]

I roll my eyes nearly every time someone brings toothless threats of false advertising suits

[wide violet]

Id never have join this discord lol

[plucky plaza]

Infinite isnt a failure imo i think its decent

[wet berry]

We need a map builder. We create our own maps. Upload it on Portal.

[foggy tundra]

but then you would never have met a fellow 2142 enjoyer

[wide violet]

haha touche

[foggy tundra]

gottem

[craggy marten]

With food it all depends on the workers making the food, yes it has its major cons but it still depends on the circumstances they undergo, they may be more optimistic and actually get a decent order served, if the workers are lazy, the food will be garbage, with games that everyone should be experiencing equally unlike food, things like this shouldn't happen.

[wet berry]

Hope they add a Map creater / builder. It would be fund to create maps.

[wide violet]

youre like the only person ive met in the last 5yrs that even knows 2142 existed

[craggy marten]

It's like if a movie came out but the green screens were still visible, like that shit shouldn't happen at all.

[wide violet]

game was so ahead of its time dude

[foggy tundra]

like legit, infinite is a halo game, it feels like halo with a few extra quirks. and nothing else. the campaign was alright, nothing spectacular

[foggy tundra]

it wassss

2142 now wouldve been fucking perfecrt

[mortal prism]

2142 was my jam

[foggy tundra]

ALL THE CARNAGE

[craggy marten]

What was so ahead of its time for 2142?

[wide violet]

THERES ANOTHER

[plucky plaza]

I agree, i personally dont think the campaign is up there tho

[foggy tundra]

people didnt want a futuristic bf game

so while it didnt sell well, it was still pretty well received

weirdly enough

[plucky plaza]

But it has the halo identity and all that im not disappointed, its a halo game in the end

[foggy tundra]

ye thats what i meant

🤣

[wide violet]

I think 2142 perfected squads, classes, loadouts, weapons, commander system, and game modes and progression

[foggy tundra]

the only issue was gun limitation

and a few bugs

[wet berry]

We wanted a battlefield 4 type of game. Where all the basic elements from battlefield 4 were as they were, plus a few additional maps and Improvements from Battlefield 1

[foggy tundra]

one of which got incorporated as an official mechanic

[foggy tundra]

nah bf2142 was before bf4

and before bf3

[wide violet]

2142 was 2009 i think

[foggy tundra]

2006

right after bf2

[wet berry]

Do you think EA wil add Air strikes, napalm attacks for support characters in battlefield 2042 ??

[wide violet]

GOD that was along time ago

[foggy tundra]

i was 10

when it launched

[wide violet]

I was 13 lol

[plucky plaza]

Bro thats earlier than H3 damn

[warped pier]

............

[wide violet]

gunplay was so ass in 2142 tho. if you didnt burst fire your guns accuracy was dogwater

[foggy tundra]

oh ye

and the background

horrible

because back then they used a different tech to make fog of war

[wide violet]

the weird blue/yellow tint every map had lmaooo

[white geyser]

Give us BF 2142 in the portal

[foggy tundra]

and it wasnt til northern strike expac that they changed it to blue

shit was always hilarious

getting sniper 1500 meters away but when you try it, you never could do it

[wide violet]

such a fun game man

[foggy tundra]

no bullet drop either

sniping people 300 meters away with a scar

pog

[wide violet]

yeah i thought it was wild that bullet drop got introduced with BC1

[white geyser]

I need a tv missile for wildcat so I can shoot it more than 300 meters, if any an chopper just standing out in the air

[foggy tundra]

now that i think about it, i think the secret weapon in doha, are pieces of tech for a walker

[wide violet]

yup

[foggy tundra]

that or tech for the titan

[wide violet]

dude all the freaking easter eggs for 2142 made me so happy

[foggy tundra]

bf4 had a huge ass easter egg

[wide violet]

then when we went to WW1 i was so fucking devastated

[foggy tundra]

the titan

i have never seen it

but.. ik its there

[wide violet]

they had the PAC emblem on everything too

[craggy marten]

Wait, you telling us you played 2142 but never saw the titan?

[foggy tundra]

nah in bf4

[wide violet]

in bf4

[foggy tundra]

they had an unfinished titan prototype the russians were hiding

you could cause a levolution by test firing its engines

[craggy marten]

I thought it was just a BF2142 mech, not the whole titan.

[foggy tundra]

nah it was a titan prototype

[wide violet]

you had to dig, it was a big easter egg

[craggy marten]

They should add the BF2142 mech prototype into that incoming Ridge map, that vehicle being the secret weapon.

[foggy tundra]

it confirms BF 2 3 4 2142 and 2042 are in the same timeline

[slate meadow]

You think this game will go f2p on origin access

[wide violet]

bruh rq how do we feel about the "Battlefield Universe"

[craggy marten]

What connects BF2 to all the others though?

[wide violet]

the maps in bf3 and bf4

[foggy tundra]

i think the EU collapses in bf2

which is what happened in bf3 bf4 bf2042 and 2142

except the US reinstated the EU in 2142

lore intensifies

[white geyser]

They better add BF4 in the portal, all the vehicles better be in the portal and I mean all of them especially the gunship plane.

[wide violet]

the good ole days where the lore was in the game during a loading screen

[foggy tundra]

man i miss that

[slate meadow]

That vehicle is a legacy feature don't expect it

[foggy tundra]

this alone got me excited

[wide violet]

didnt need to try and copy cod and make a Michael Bay level campaign

[foggy tundra]

they just threw text at you

[wide violet]

had to read before the server loaded up

[foggy tundra]

like heres the fucking scenario

have fun

bye

[wide violet]

hahaha

[craggy marten]

The people at DICE really need to nerf up their lore posts from just the concept art we've already seen.

[wide violet]

they need to scrap the story imo, I just need small snippets

[craggy marten]

Too late for that.

[wide violet]

shouldve done it similar to bf1 with their intro

[foggy tundra]

i dont mind bf having a story, but the way 2042 does it is inferior to how 2142 did it

[white geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/angel-flight-c130-flare-gif-15522836

[foggy tundra]

even if 2142 was overly simple with little VA

infact 2142 had generic af VA

and it was still fucking lit

[wide violet]

They just need to explain why youre fighting at this one point and thats it

I dont need a monologue
