battlefield-2042

[scenic tartan]

I dont know how they still have sledgehammer on payroll

[somber pebble]

Yeah but theres a large base, like myself, who has zero interest in the direction the game is going in

[quaint ivy]

the issue with vanguard is that the ww2 thing had just been satiated by bfv. the interest was never going to be that great

[buoyant condor]

After cold war i thought they hit rock bottom, boy was i wrong

[arctic grove]

Ww2 games have been done to death at this point.

[foggy crest]

It isn't trash it's nothing new I agree nothing special I agree but trash no

[mental cave]

cold war was an interesting choice

[somber pebble]

Yup, literally no one wanted it even with bfv

[buoyant condor]

As soon as they announced it was set in WW2 i already knew it would have been a flop

[quaint ivy]

i think we dont have enough info on what the direction is yet. i would stow that for when/if we get a roadmap or some more updates. but given what we have seen so far, yeah people are pissed.

[slim quiver]

I beg to differ I love WW2 games

[scarlet nimbus]

I managed to snipe a flaring condor with an active radar missle and hit him since he was standing still kek

[buoyant condor]

Yeah but they have been done to death

[somber pebble]

Microtransactions, goofy skins, no classes, hero shooter, do it all load outs. Just feels empty and shallow now

[quaint ivy]

ww2 games slap, just wish we got more out of it. not having russia or more of the iconic moments in the war really hurt bfv

[slim quiver]

Every single theme has been done to death, modern and WW2

[buoyant condor]

We are too saturated with ww2 games

[arctic grove]

Yep

[buoyant condor]

And with modern stuff you can do way more

[slim quiver]

I still like WW2 more than modern

[buoyant condor]

with ww2 you are bound to the realism and the timeframe

[slim quiver]

You’re not bound to realism lol

[buoyant condor]

Which vanguard got completely wrong lol

[slim quiver]

That’s just milsim people complaining about historical accuracy

[foggy tundra]

wolfenstein is not a realistic game AT ALL

[quaint ivy]

there is still room for change, i'd try and stay positive for the time being. it wont be too hard to improve upon what we have now

[slim quiver]

A ton of WW2 games are completely unrealistic.

[scenic tartan]

imagine if BFV had a remake of Tsaritsyn in WW2

[arctic grove]

Lol 3rd Reich was there lol

[foggy tundra]

have you played wolfenstein?

[scenic tartan]

Tsaritsyn was such a fun map

[buoyant condor]

And yet battlefield 1 and 5 were miles ahead in terms of accuracy compared to vanguard

[quaint ivy]

dude imagine all the iconic moments we could have had in bfv. it would have been amazing

[mental cave]

different tastes and opinions for everything. Everybody's preference is justified by themselves

[empty bloom]

just imagine being a gamer complaining about historical accuracy

[somber pebble]

Given EAs track record, that's a very high expectation

[arctic grove]

[slim quiver]

They were still highly inaccurate so I don’t get your point

[foggy tundra]

like you dont need to be accurate or be realistic for a good ww2 game

[buoyant condor]

Wolfenstein is dystopian, not even ww2

[foggy tundra]

BRUH its based in ww2

how tf.....

[cedar sandal]

I don't like WW2 games because there are no helicopters

[slim quiver]

WW1 was one of the biggest offenders of inaccuracy and nobody gave a shit lmao

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/thriller-michael-jackson-eating-popcorn-watching-gif-5577709

[buoyant condor]

Based doesn't mean it's a ww2 game

[foggy crest]

Games where US vs US can happen is also inaccurate

[quaint ivy]

if it goes under and they cut support right after it releases, then hopefully a new ip comes in and does it. its a void that needs to be filled, clearly.

[arctic grove]

I wanted a saving private Ryan ww2 game 😉

[scenic tartan]

remember when DICE added women to BF1 and nobody cared

"Join forces with the Russian army, including the Women’s Battalion of Death represented by the Scout class. Play as the largest army in the world – on the largest front of WW1."

And then they added them to BFV and everyone freaked out

[foggy tundra]

it is, the first wolfenstein game was based near the end of ww2

its still a ww2 game

[arctic grove]

That’s a brutal expectation.

[mental cave]

a war that hasn't been done a lot is the Vietnam war, that could open up some doors. although could come with some backlash with the racism 😭

[foggy tundra]

even the original wolfenstein games were ww2 games

[slim quiver]

Sad reality isn’t it

[arctic grove]

I'ma quote bible verse while I snipe

[slim quiver]

How about Korea?

[foggy tundra]

korea has like no games

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/nick-young-question-mark-huh-what-confused-gif-4995479

[cedar sandal]

They did Bad Company 2 Vietnam and they managed to do it without the racism

[foggy crest]

In this universe best thing is nature and women sadly Battlefield kids don't want it

[slim quiver]

Korean War was bigger than people realize

[empty bloom]

they forced women upon us

[arctic grove]

Battlefield kids

[buoyant condor]

They are dystopian games set in WW2, it's not really fair calling Wolfenstein a ww2 game imo

[foggy tundra]

it is

[scenic tartan]

[quaint ivy]

one of the most proficient snipers in ww2 was a russian woman...

[foggy tundra]

its completely fair to call it a ww2 game

im not sure what youre missing here

[slim quiver]

Wolfenstein is a WW2 game

[foggy crest]

Hello

[slim quiver]

Again doesn’t need to be realistic in the slightest

[buoyant condor]

Wolfenstein is dystopian :/

[arctic grove]

Well yeah Russia, china, north Korea vs NATO

[foggy tundra]

thats like calling medal of honor rising sun a dystopian game, because its based in ww2

[arctic grove]

You mean Lyudmila Pavlichenko

[foggy tundra]

makes 0 sense bruh

[somber pebble]

They should have made specialists pick up upgrades, like the flametrooper in bf1

[quaint ivy]

@arctic grove yes.

[glossy storm]

I hate 2042 because I hate 2042. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

[buoyant condor]

Play again all the Wolfenstein and come back here to tell me it's not a dystopian game

[foggy tundra]

i have and its a ww2 game

[arctic grove]

309 confirmed kills what a beauty sniper she was

[cedar sandal]

It is true that WW2 games are more constraining though, because other than a few exceptions like Wolfenstein and Vanguard they usually try to be somewhat respectful of the history.

[somber pebble]

Sense is a legacy feature

[foggy tundra]

everyone thats played wolfenstein aside from you, will say its a ww2 game

[mental cave]

well there really is no true realistic game, you put an actual solider in front of a screen to play battlefield and they'll probably say that its not any way accurate at all 😂

[foggy tundra]

the devs themselves said it was a ww2 game

[arctic grove]

Actually, that’ll be 5.99.

[slim quiver]

BF1 isn’t a WW1 game, it’s just a game using the WW1 theme and skin but is a battlefield game. Sooo doesn’t matter what the game is, they’re all inaccurate and unrealistic because it’s a video game

[foggy crest]

Advanced warfare first mission is in Seoul , North Koreans invading south korea

[quaint ivy]

she was a complete badass. truly an overlooked story

[foggy tundra]

can literally say the same thing about bf2042

doesnt make it a korean war game

[slim quiver]

I guess that’s the logic we will use now

[somber pebble]

Yeah but the armored train was neato

[arctic grove]

& we have Vanguard’s version of Lady of death

Damn bf2042 dead only 500 viewers on twitch

[foggy crest]

Yeah war + korea

[foggy tundra]

[arctic grove]

I guess twitch views matter?

[buoyant condor]

Yes because its set it happened in the game, see what I did there?

[jolly valve]

I hate 2042 because only the really smart people don't like it.

[arctic grove]

Don’t be sad

[slim quiver]

No game theme is bound to follow a set of rules. Theme doesn’t make restrictions

[foggy crest]

I don't like Keanu Reeves

[arctic grove]

Vietnam war if DICE does that I hope it's 100% accuracy imagine all those traps you be running and hit and runs

[foggy tundra]

k

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/with-a-pencil-john-wick-scary-scared-pencil-gif-16042376

[quaint ivy]

i havent played vanguard so i cant really speak on it, but im glad they are putting her in stuff. that level of achievement should be celebrated forever

[arctic grove]

Umm yeah they do matter it shows the state of the game and what people are playing

[foggy crest]

I love Al Pacino

[arctic grove]

[foggy tundra]

[mental cave]

bf2042 is a theme that has somewhat of a chance of actually happening considering the fact that countries will have to choose to side with the American or the Russians which has kind of happened already lol

[somber pebble]

Battlefield should do a civil war game with specialist making cringe lines

[foggy tundra]

imagine using twitch as evidence for a failing game

[arctic grove]

I’ve played the campaign in Vanguard & they have a lady of death mission

[slim quiver]

Definitely not

[buoyant condor]

Who said a game needs to be bound? Wolfenstein is not simply world war 2 game, it is a dystopian game set in an alternate version of ww2

[cedar sandal]

Twitch is evidence of a marketing campaign.

[somber pebble]

Top kek

[foggy tundra]

most certainly not

[scenic tartan]

girls licking microphones are the hottest trend in the gaming industry

[slim quiver]

2042 has some of the most unrealistic weather events in a 20 year span.

[slim quiver]

You just used WW2 did you not?

[arctic grove]

Asmr moment

[scenic tartan]

2042 is global warming apocalyptic fantasy

[foggy tundra]

like...... those tornadoes ingame, are only possible in the US

[mental cave]

I mean wasnt that basically ww1 and ww2, ended up being a whole chain reaction of treaties. "you attacked our ally so now we are going to attack you" and so on

[buoyant condor]

Calling it simply a ww2 game is just wrong

[slim quiver]

You know a game is WW2 if it’s using the theme

[buoyant condor]

No it's not 🤣

[slim quiver]

Since every single WW2 game on this planet isn’t real

And is usually highly inaccurate

[arctic grove]

[cedar sandal]

World wars, cold war, modern, and near future are all played out. Give us a 2142 sequel.

[quaint ivy]

the only thing twitch can show metric-wise is a general interest in a game and whether or not it is enjoyable to spectate. i think it is apparent that there isn't a ton of interest in watching it over and over, otherwise big streamers would milk the potential views.

[foggy tundra]

2142 2142 2142

[slim quiver]

Not only from the strategy of the battles but also just how everything mechanically works and how battles went on

[scenic tartan]

i think it would be even more complaining if it was 2142 future

[foggy crest]

That's future

[somber pebble]

Couldn't tell, everyone sure is chipper about it

[cedar sandal]

That's not near future though.

[arctic grove]

Imagine waking up to 100+ degree weather everyday

[arctic grove]

According to Google

[foggy tundra]

hell no, 90% of the people who played 2142 fucking loved it

[foggy crest]

Still future

[steep root]

Season one when?

[arctic grove]

Never.

[slim quiver]

That doesn’t explain the resource shortages or the climate change that jumped decades ahead of its time

[cedar sandal]

Give us laser guns, handheld railguns. Give us mechs. Give us aimbots.

[buoyant condor]

You are trying to play semantics, google loves that

[empty bloom]

march 2023

[hardy leaf]

can tanks destroy those buildings after the updates in bf2042?

[foggy tundra]

plus its also in an alternate universe

[scenic tartan]

The problem with future stuff is that everything needs to be created from nothing and concept art and "created"
With a modern or historical game you can just make what exists or existed mostly, with a few new things

[slim quiver]

This too

[arctic grove]

It is a World War Two theme game, oops I said it

[buoyant condor]

Now type is Wolfenstein dystopian?

[quaint ivy]

bro how the fuck do you expect to hold a handheld railgun when we have such a hard time putting it on a fkn ship lol

[foggy tundra]

bruh its not hard to remake 2142 or make a sequel for it

[steep root]

lol

[cedar sandal]

It's 120 years into the future we'll figure it out lol

[arctic grove]

Ww2 theme but it’s like dystopian/ alternative timeline.

[foggy tundra]

how do you think they made 2042? they literally created events that matched with 2142s events and bf2-4s events

[arctic grove]

Still World War Two

[buoyant condor]

ww2 themed doesn't make it a ww2 game stop the cap

[arctic grove]

Sure.

[cedar sandal]

120 years ago we barely had machine guns. In 120 years, we should have handheld directed energy weapons

[slim quiver]

Then battlefield 1 isn’t a WW1 game

[quaint ivy]

fair enough but the laser gun seems more feasible. a fucking railgun would blow your arm off your torso lol

[mental cave]

ok maybe the potential weather machine from the Russians isn't going to happen but the general gist of ww3 basically happening and it ending up being just US and Allies vs Russia and Allies is a good prediction

[cedar sandal]

Mechs

[buoyant condor]

Wolfenstein had more elements of fantasy than battlefield 1

[quaint ivy]

it would blow the mechanical arm off of it's mechanical torso*

[foggy tundra]

nah by your logic

[slim quiver]

It did, doesn’t change the fact by the same logic BF1 is not a WW1 game. Just a BF game with a WW1 theme

[foggy tundra]

bf 1942, bfv bf1 and bf1943 arent ww2 or ww1 games

guys the riddles been solved

[arctic grove]

Oh my god

[foggy tundra]

everything was a lie

[cedar sandal]

It'll just have wicked backblast to minimize the recoil

[foggy tundra]

simulation over

[arctic grove]

That is true

I want my refund

[foggy tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/hooray-its-weekend-ok-bye-ciao-slide-gif-15739082

[slim quiver]

Seems highly unlikely, China would be in the mix if anything

As would India

[cedar sandal]

They won't be able to sell their game in China if they did that

[foggy tundra]

as would japan

and taiwan and every other country

[quaint ivy]

problem solved XD

[slim quiver]

As would almost every country pretty much

[arctic grove]

Yep.

[foggy tundra]

we are referring to an irl war

like no nothing in 2042 would ever happen irl

[cedar sandal]

Well no shit

[arctic grove]

Weather machine do exists it ain't a fantasy been testing that for 80+ years

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/obviously-duh-sassy-interview-gif-8020881

[mental cave]

this brings to attention maybe why they dont do vietnam games, because historically. US lost

[somber pebble]

HARP

[quaint ivy]

woah woah woah, france lost. we just left XD

[cedar sandal]

There's like 15 black ops games and they all have the vietnam war in it

[foggy tundra]

bruh.... if that was the case, they wouldnt have made cod mw, or bf 2-3

[arctic grove]

Yep which been upgraded over decades

[cedar sandal]

Vietnam is a boring setting imo.

[arctic grove]

In your opinion.

[cedar sandal]

Yeah that is in fact my opinion

[foggy tundra]

and as was mentioned before

[quaint ivy]

spoiler alert, its all jungles and rice paddies and you are most likely going to die from stepping on a hole filled with snakes.

[foggy tundra]

blackops is almost entirely centered around vietnam

[mental cave]

but full scale vietnam war theme

[foggy tundra]

like bruh where you get these facts?

[somber pebble]

Plus they wouldn't be able to get creedence for the soundtrack

[cedar sandal]

Yeah black ops is pretty heavily centered around Vietnam.

[foggy tundra]

black ops premise is literally vietnam

coldwar, black ops 1

entirely the vietnam war

[somber pebble]

New battlefield Vietnam, forest Gump specialist

[cedar sandal]

Vietnam is even more limited than WW2. At least WW2 had like 5-6 major fronts all in different biomes. Vietnam is literally just jungle and more jungle.

[foggy tundra]

theres like 30-40 games based on the vietnam war

[quaint ivy]

and that time we fought in 2 cities.

[cedar sandal]

Korean War is the real forgotten war

[foggy tundra]

and theres also the limited fronts as is mentioned before

the korean war was far more interesting

they legit had a dday 2

[buoyant condor]

Modern and future settings are the best ones

[cedar sandal]

But we won't get a Korean War game because the enemy was China

[arctic grove]

Vietnam had no fronts it's a proxy war lol

[mental cave]

yeah but it was a bunch of CIA shit, not actual US squadrons getting napalmed on a daily basis by their own side 😂

[quaint ivy]

it was cold af and we got the shit kicked out of us at the end.

[buoyant condor]

For making games

[hardy leaf]

BFV have twice as many players as BF2042 right now on steam

[jovial quest]

[quaint ivy]

this guy gets it

[buoyant condor]

How's my boy bf1 doing?

[somber pebble]

Right now? Where ya been the last 3 weeks

[arctic grove]

Afghanistan war 1980s nobody touched that

[foggy tundra]

then we did dday 2 electric boogaloo and tossed nk all the way up to the current day DMZ

[cedar sandal]

CoD Black Ops did

[hazy otter]

Old news, BF2042 can barely hold 10k for the past two weeks now

[foggy tundra]

now that would be interesting

[arctic grove]

Sure?

[hardy leaf]

bf1 also have more players than 2042

[cedar sandal]

Black Ops literally had a mission where you ride around as a horse warrior with Bin Laden

[hardy leaf]

that was cool af

[buoyant condor]

When a 6 year old game has more playerbase than the new game

[cedar sandal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I0wBBQ7vjU

[hardy leaf]

bfv had more players but not double lol

[mental cave]

what game? @buoyant condor because last time I logged into bf4 there was only 1 server with 64 players

[buoyant condor]

Bf1

Bf4 is not 6 years old lmao

[cedar sandal]

What about Gulf War? I think we don't have a major Gulf War game

[mental cave]

feels like it 😔

[cedar sandal]

The Gulf War's got the last major tank battle, that'll be right up Battlefield's alley

[buoyant condor]

We are getting old huh

[cedar sandal]

Campaign mission can just be 5 Abrams going up against 200 T-55s and T-62s

It'll even be realistic.

[mental cave]

yup, I don't even understand the new slang. like tf does ratio mean or 🅿️

[somber pebble]

You think you'll ever get campaigns back in battlefield?

[buoyant condor]

Idgaf tbh

[cedar sandal]

Probably. I don't care if we do but it seems likely we're going to get them back given the backlash.

[mental cave]

I've been reading more books than I do watch Netflix. Life is an absolute trip

[quaint ivy]

ratio is just people pointing out how your opinion isn't widely held or that it was a shit take.

[hardy leaf]

i think DICE have no idea what they should be doing now

[somber pebble]

You sweet summer child

[buoyant condor]

That's so dumb

[cedar sandal]

Call of Duty brought back campaigns after Blops 3

[foggy crest]

Call of duty

[cedar sandal]

Or was it blops 4

[foggy tundra]

you mean after blops 4

blops 3 had a shitty campaign

blops 4 was purely mp

[arctic grove]

Only war I can see DICE can do or add in during the cold war days
Afghanistan 1980s
Angola big skirmish USA vs RU
Cuba

[buoyant condor]

Train go boom

[quaint ivy]

i dont make the rules man. i also dont say it. i dont think its dumb, i just think pointing it out is dumb. its just kinda dickish

[cedar sandal]

Blops 3 had one of the best produced teaser trailer of any video game called "Embers" go look it up

[foggy tundra]

blops was horrible

[mental cave]

the kids growing up with tiktok are going to be a different breed of sheeple. I'm ready to just watch it happen

[foggy tundra]

blops 3*

[quaint ivy]

you bastard. you take that back.

[foggy tundra]

i will not

https://tenor.com/view/sips-tea-gif-10558867

[quaint ivy]

someone come moderate these moderators. they are out of hand.

[foggy tundra]

lol

[buoyant condor]

Heh i don't think that much

[quaint ivy]

you're honestly telling me you didnt think the freerunning shit was fun?

[buoyant condor]

Oh it was

[quaint ivy]

the courses were lit af. i loved it

[foggy crest]

Future is dark I am worried science will slow down

[buoyant condor]

The only good part of single player

[mental cave]

in 10 years time im going to understand not a single piece of internet slang

theres probably going to be a shorter acronym for lol

[scarlet nimbus]

Tik tok kids arnt sheeple, they're just gross

[quaint ivy]

you mean like XD?

[buoyant condor]

Boomer?

[somber pebble]

It's fine, kids can't read my username to yell at me in game. It's like it's written in cursive

[buoyant condor]

Sup kthxnbai

[mental cave]

rawr xD

[quaint ivy]

science isn't going to slow down. you have quantum computing to look forward to and that shit will blow any conceptual knowledge we have on computational power out of the fucking water.

[somber pebble]

What up

[scarlet nimbus]

I just watched a complety alive condor Beyblade for like 10s

[foggy crest]

No I am talking about kids

[mental cave]

good, maybe SSD prices will drop

[buoyant condor]

If anything science is going faster than ever before

[quaint ivy]

you wont have ssd's in the future. everything will be on "da cloud"

[buoyant condor]

Less people believe in religion more in sciences now

[foggy crest]

Not really it's slower less innovative just improving old things

[somber pebble]

PC parts will stay high as fuck if crypto mining keeps going unchecked and more manufacturing isn't kicked up

[quaint ivy]

have you seen ddr5? shits lit.

[mental cave]

in the future ill still be waiting for the ssd prices to drop 💀

[buoyant condor]

Maybe in your bubble yeah, that doesn't mean things aren't evolving

[hazy otter]

screw that subscription based bullcrap!! Local storage or private nas all the way

[quaint ivy]

internet will be free and so will cellular service.

[buoyant condor]

Just even thinking about Bitcoin for example

[foggy crest]

Evolving slower than 70-100 years before

[buoyant condor]

Currency of the future

[scarlet nimbus]

get US team so have f35's
Quit game and look for a Russian game

[somber pebble]

Lol

[buoyant condor]

Huh

[buoyant condor]

It is

[hazy otter]

Not the way corporate America runs things nowadays

[mental cave]

just so you know if E=mc2 was never proven we wouldn't have cars or phones

[quaint ivy]

the only reason you see things evolving slower is because transistors are reaching a point that they cant get much smaller. conventional computing will be antiquated one day.

[calm remnant]

What is the current state of the game?

[scarlet nimbus]

Wacky

[quaint ivy]

it will all be free, you just have to watch a bunch of ads lol

[hazy otter]

When do we get to become fat blobs on hover beds like in Wall-E

[buoyant condor]

Just like blade runner

[somber pebble]

Once crypto is no longer allowed to be traded on open stock exchange, it's value will plummet. It's only allowed now because it's doing no harm against current commodity trades

[quaint ivy]

once we go on plant based diets, we will all be jacked from all of our crispr mods.

[buoyant condor]

In reality it's way bigger than you think

[orchid root]

Making human clones is good for the army and if they are breed able and have emotions

[buoyant condor]

You have to think outside stocks

It's a decentralized system

[mental cave]

they can harvest my existence for energy as long as they give me the life of a housecat doing whatever tf I want

[quaint ivy]

bro f that, if i had a human clone he would totally show me up and make my parents more proud of him than me.

[foggy crest]

They will kill you

[somber pebble]

Doesn't matter though if global commodities aren't traded for it. Do you think the US would allow oil to be traded in crypto

[buoyant condor]

If we can clone chicken meat we can clone humans

[quaint ivy]

with vpn's there isn't much they can do about that.

[orchid root]

No more starvation

[somber pebble]

All oil is traded with US dollars

[quaint ivy]

if you can clone a wrench, you can clone a ball.

[buoyant condor]

Either end world Hunger or making a bunch of rich people even more rich

[somber pebble]

The mods are going to come back and yell at us for not shitting on 2042 and being off topic

[quaint ivy]

if i buy 100 barrels of oil, and a dude walks up to me in my warehouse and hands me bitcoin, he can have all the oil he wants.

[buoyant condor]

True

[somber pebble]

You can't buy that much privately, fbi cones a knockin

[buoyant condor]

I don't think the US or any government likes the idea of a decentralized currency

[orchid root]

I play 2042 now just for the weekly challenges

[buoyant condor]

But it exists so they can't make it go away

[quaint ivy]

i dont know shit about trading in commodities so ill take your word for it but you get my point.

[somber pebble]

They can, they just don't care enough about

[buoyant condor]

They literally can't

[mental cave]

more tax money for them

[somber pebble]

It's just too dangerous to allow large purchases basically

[buoyant condor]

It's outside of their control that's why it's a decentralized system

[scarlet nimbus]

What's the range of a soflam?

[quaint ivy]

yeah it makes sense. i didnt think 100 barrels of oil was that much honestly.

[buoyant condor]

No one controls it

[hazy otter]

They certainly can make it very difficult for the average layman to use it which would cripple it's current value

[scarlet nimbus]

Because I just had 63 recoilless m5's shoot at me

[somber pebble]

Worded wrong, can't get rid of it completely but can put it back to the stone age when it was first around, small private trading

[mental cave]

the range is kinda shit ngl

[somber pebble]

It's alot lol

[scarlet nimbus]

I got soflamed at altitude 500m

[quaint ivy]

i know physically its a lot, but like in the grand scheme of oil trading its like a "drop in the bucket"

[buoyant condor]

Still wouldn't stop my favorite pizza place to accept eth

[somber pebble]

They could, illegal form of currency, which makes it untaxable, then it'd be more bartering than purchasing and no business would utilize it.

[scarlet nimbus]

Yeah but think about the jets sake

[quaint ivy]

isn't that idea considered anticapitalist?

[scarlet nimbus]

What jet flies at like 800m

[somber pebble]

Yup but if it's not benefitting the economy of the country then capitalism doesn't matter

[buoyant condor]

I don't think they would ever make it illegal

[somber pebble]

A barrel is 42 gallons btw

[somber pebble]

Who knows

[mental cave]

make jets more maneuverable little flippys to get rid of incoming missles idk i find it hard to hit jets anyways because they're faster than the missles most the time

[quaint ivy]

if the money made is at any point spent (with usd) on domestically produced goods and services, than it would benefit the economy though.

[buoyant condor]

That's why I said i don't think, it's unlikely

[scarlet nimbus]

They arnt but ok

I was going 420kmh to try get out the soflam and got easily rocketed by even an m5

[buoyant condor]

Bitcoin is still the currency of the future

[somber pebble]

Unlikely yes but crypto is probably going to bubble and burst vs being the sole means of currency, to bring us full circle

[mental cave]

dammmmnn, my stuff never reaches the jet like ever 😭

[arctic grove]

[buoyant condor]

Yeah right now it's very volatile, but that's because we are in the early stages of this revolution

[arctic grove]

[buoyant condor]

Laugh at me in 15-20 years i will be right :)

[somber pebble]

Early stages? Crypto been around for like 10 years bro, it's just trendy

[quaint ivy]

the only way bitcoin loses its value, is if people stop buying heroin off of the dark web and i dont see that happening anytime soon.

[buoyant condor]

It's still early stages

[arctic grove]

[somber pebble]

The true purpose of crypto, and hiring hit men.

[quaint ivy]

that is it's value. its cash. electronic cash. thats a pretty good upside to have.

its the first e-shmeckle.

[buoyant condor]

It will all be like the music industry when piracy became a serious problem

[somber pebble]

I'm just going g to hoard metals and gold so everyone can have intangible crypto

[buoyant condor]

Systems will adapt

[quaint ivy]

just save some lithium for me.

[mental cave]

I threw a couple hundred into some coins, doesnt hurt to see what it does 🤷‍♂️

[somber pebble]

Lithium is the true invest boy howdy

[somber pebble]

Profit off the trend while you can, get it

[scarlet nimbus]

Have y'all been getting ads on a new dumb crypto called floki

[quaint ivy]

check out the new tesla battery prototype. shits a flying pig for batteries

[mental cave]

no never heard of it lol @scarlet nimbus

[scarlet nimbus]

I bet you 10 bucks it's gonna be one where the owners buy tons of it low and then advertise to get people to buy it and the sell the coin and abandon it

[buoyant condor]

Also people completely get the wrong idea when someone talks about nfts

[somber pebble]

There's so many crypto popping up, might as be a lottery on which one will take off

[mental cave]

you basically just described shib

[scarlet nimbus]

It's any sketchy startup coin now

It just hitches off the idea that people wanna get rich easy

[buoyant condor]

That's not how that works

[quaint ivy]

its all about how useable it is. like how amex used to not be accepted everywhere. the more things you can trade with a crypto the better. the more ubiquitous or purposeful it's use is, the more value it has.

[scarlet nimbus]

I know but it's how people perceive it

[buoyant condor]

If you invest into crypto right now it's basically gambling, the currency is so volatile in these times

[mental cave]

amex isnt accepted anywhere because of the insane fees they charge the merchant just to be able to accept the card

[quaint ivy]

man we really got hung up on this crypto shit

[quaint ivy]

its better than it used to be. i can use an amex at pretty much every place i go now

[buoyant condor]

When it will stabilize in a few years it will be way better for common use

[mental cave]

I kinda want one but I dont like the fees, its more than I spend in a month on things that aren't necessary😂

[buoyant condor]

Bitcoin is free and fee less :)

[mental cave]

the perks be kinda cool though

[quaint ivy]

as a cardholder, amex fucking rocks. as a merchant...yeah...

i can claim some shit as fraud with amex, and im virtually guaranteed to get that money back.

[hazy otter]

Fees? Get a card that has no annual fee and pay off the balance every month, there shouldn't be any fees

[worthy inlet]

when Bitcoin will stabilise in a few years

[buoyant condor]

It will

[mental cave]

none of my current credit cards have fees 😂 im just saying why I don't decide on getting an amex card

[quaint ivy]

if your card gets stolen and shit, they got your back. from my experience at least.

[mental cave]

don't all credit cards give you your money back immediately if you claim fraud tho?

[quaint ivy]

thats a good question, probably. you would think so

[buoyant condor]

No it's a legacy feature xd

[mental cave]

im pretty sure thats what makes them better than debit cards and why people don't use their debit at all

[mental cave]

you're goated for that one

[quaint ivy]

all i know is that i dont have to file a police report if my kid takes my card and spends it on vbucks without my permission.

[mental cave]

I used my discover cashback rewards to buy bf2042 😎

[buoyant condor]

If your kids takes your card and spends it on vbucks it's your fault imo

[quaint ivy]

#AD

[mental cave]

im totally not a discover plant...

[quaint ivy]

yet, it's not so whatever lol

their account gets frozen and shit though but not my problem

[mental cave]

did you guys know discover has a cashback match reward for your first year...again im totally not a discover sales plant...

[buoyant condor]

Kinda is yours

[quaint ivy]

for putting my wallet on the counter? come on.

[buoyant condor]

For letting your kids do it without educating them first

[scarlet nimbus]

Kids don't care

[buoyant condor]

And for letting your wallet on the counter sure

[quaint ivy]

kids think money falls from the sky dude.

[mental cave]

kid shouldn't even be playing fortnite, force them to play battlefield 😂

[scarlet nimbus]

Kids prolly think cards are infinite money

[quaint ivy]

thats heresy. thats where your wallet and keys go.

[buoyant condor]

Place it somewhere where either he doesn't know where it is or he can't reach it

And tell him he pays everything he buys with your card

[quaint ivy]

or...have an amex that gives me my money back if some shit pops off and his account gets frozen and voila lesson learned.

[mental cave]

if I had a kid, and forced them to play video games. would they grow a distaste for video games and decide to defy me by doing healthy activities? 🤔

[buoyant condor]

So the kid will never learn that money doesn't fall from the sky

[desert elbow]

Well BF 1942 isn't a WW2 game, it's a BF game with a WW2 skin

[quaint ivy]

but they will learn that card doesn't work if it's not theirs and transitively if they want one, they gotta pay for it.

[gloomy cipher]

Has anyone been able to get a refund on PlayStation?

[buoyant condor]

Too much for them to process

[mental cave]

damn you scrolled far for that one , we've been talking about credit cards

[quaint ivy]

they're pretty smart these days.

[tidal abyss]

i had the biggest lag yesterday in bf2042

[slim quiver]

Yup

[desert elbow]

Good old credit cards

[buoyant condor]

If your kid steals your card and uses it on Fortnite hes not very smart

[hazy otter]

Return the kid

[quaint ivy]

i never said he was carl sagan

[mental cave]

when I was a kid I didn't even know how to use a credit card for online purchases 😂

[buoyant condor]

Make him play battlefield

[quaint ivy]

and let the cps take him away from me?

[scarlet nimbus]

I just got 1 shot by a missle

By an active radar missle

[buoyant condor]

I watched horror films with my dad when I was little

[mental cave]

nah, have the cps agent play battlefield too

[scarlet nimbus]

What the f*ck

[quaint ivy]

same. but that's the virtual equivalent of beating your kids.

[buoyant condor]

I don't think I'm that fucked up

[mental cave]

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[buoyant condor]

Not even close

[slim quiver]

Not at all

[quaint ivy]

then id be arrested for assaulting an officer.

[mental cave]

are they considered cops?

[quaint ivy]

im memeing on this one guys. im trying to say that making my kid play battlefield is cruel punishment lol

[buoyant condor]

Because fortnite is so much better

[mental cave]

nice. cus the game is bad?

[arctic grove]

Fortnite is better

[quaint ivy]

right now yeah, i think fortnite is objectively a better game, but i dont enjoy playing it. its too much hassle imo

[arctic grove]

Stupid discord

[buoyant condor]

Didn't say 2042 tho

[mental cave]

that was a W joke it just flew past all of our heads lol

[arctic grove]

Really the only time I play fortnite is if I'm playing with my kid or if we go pub stomping and destroy lobbies

[buoyant condor]

Make him play bf3/4/1 bad Company ecc

[quaint ivy]

he liked bfv, i didnt just because of all the cheating.

[buoyant condor]

Then start with half life and tell him that half life 3 will never come out because gaben is too obsessed with CSGO

[quaint ivy]

i like watching pure gameplay of good fortnite players, those guys are so smooth.

[quaint ivy]

we tried halflife but its like playing oregon trail to them.

[mental cave]

I purposefully make myself go into the low skill matchmaking lobbies so I can get easy wins on what I believe are just bots and little kids. Not going to lie, it gives me satisfaction knowing I just spam built and no scoped a 10 year old playing on their phone

[arctic grove]

Me and the boys went undefeated five straight rounds in a row earlier it's a good time

[quaint ivy]

the game is good, i just dont want to practice cranking 90's. im not trying to go pro out here

[buoyant condor]

Tried valorant or CSGO?

I think it could be fun with your kids

[quaint ivy]

valorant didn't do it for me, but yeah i have like 5k hours in csgo alone. i cant touch it anymore since they basically ravaged all of the communities and we all died. left a bad taste in my mouth

[mental cave]

minecraft is good too

[buoyant condor]

Minecraft oh yeah

[quaint ivy]

minecraft is dope, i have never played it but its a good game.

[buoyant condor]

That's the best option

[scarlet nimbus]

The clouds that form from a weather event are so op, go into them and the enemey tailing you can't see anything

[buoyant condor]

Never??????????

[mental cave]

how is never playing minecraft even possible

[buoyant condor]

It's like saying you don't have a discord account

[quaint ivy]

it was a little after my time. im kind of a sweaty fps guy too

[tame cobalt]

Play portal 2 co op

[buoyant condor]

Why are you here xd

[primal stone]

Bitcoin is the gold of the future

[quaint ivy]

i like people. idk. i dont always play games anymore.

[buoyant condor]

Do yourself a favor and play it with your kids

[mental cave]

play minecraft tf

[quaint ivy]

lol i dont have him. he is with his other family

[buoyant condor]

Survival

[mental cave]

its like 14 bucks

[primal stone]

George... you making a fool out of yourself. First on your TV show and now here

Crypto is still in very early stages lol, 1% of the population knows and some own crypto

[quaint ivy]

i misread that. ill try it out. the graphics kinda turn me off, but i think its a good game for the brain.

[tame cobalt]

L profile

[buoyant condor]

People think that 10 years is too much

[primal stone]

is what i have to say

[tame cobalt]

Crypto 🤢

[buoyant condor]

These things take times, especially if it's a revolution of this size

[arctic grove]

What?

[buoyant condor]

It's not like the internet was invented overnight

[mental cave]

I have 0 patience with long term investments like crypto, I prefer to lose all my money in a day with options contracts

[quaint ivy]

this guy fucks

[primal stone]

Adaptations are happen frequently, It's like we're in 90s ERA of when internet was new

[tame cobalt]

Neez dutz

[buoyant condor]

Doesn't hurt to put a small amount into your wallet each month

[arctic grove]

Isn't there an age requirement in this server?

[tame cobalt]

Yes. Sorry bud, you can come back in 12 years

[mental cave]

oh I do, Ive been buying the dips on bitcoin and eth lol

[arctic grove]

I'm old enough to be your father. Disappointed in you enough to be as well.

[quaint ivy]

DAMN

[buoyant condor]

Then you are doing the right thing for now

[arctic grove]

[buoyant condor]

No need to invest your life savings into it

[quaint ivy]

you should be banned for that savagery. that was metaphysical abuse.

[scarlet nimbus]

Bruh ospreys need to learn to not go into jet mode and try run like that from a jet, they can go slower then you and just burst you down form behind and you're giving them an open line

[arctic grove]

Don't play with fire 🤷🏼‍♂️

[quaint ivy]

jesus christ its jason bourne.

[mental cave]

I dont, most ive lost on a single options contract is like 500 bucks and thats just because I let it go past my stop loss out of pure lottery lmao

nvm i lost 1k before on options 😂

[buoyant condor]

The smartest thing to do imo is to put a small amount each month and forget about it

[mental cave]

yeah if im investing money its money i don't care about

[buoyant condor]

I count that money as already lost

[mental cave]

besides the money I put in the ira, that goes into the index funds and high div yield funds

[buoyant condor]

So I don't have the fear of if it's going down or up

[scarlet nimbus]

I got double missled thru flares

Don't know how he shot 2 missles and don't know how it got thru flares

He even locked on continuously thru them too

[mental cave]

thats annoying

must be a lil cheater or it was bugged

[scarlet nimbus]

Even beta bugs are still around

So much for a 3 month old build that would have all bugs ironed out

[muted plume]

ah finally i can see the server again after being muted for a day

[buoyant condor]

What did you do

[muted plume]

“inappropriate language”

[mental cave]

lol i got a warning for language too,even tho there's no clear written rule on not cursing cough

[quaint ivy]

oh...ive been cursing up a storm. crap.

[scarlet nimbus]

The halo server has a language mute too exept their bot doesn't unmute you after a day you have to create a ticket because their bot sucks

2 times it's not unmuted me on time

[muted plume]

the problem is both times i said the word they didn’t like, the message got auto deleted. if it gets auto deleted, nobody sees it. and when it gets auto deleted, you still get punished? what kind of rule is that where they delete my message and still proceed to punish me afterwards

[scarlet nimbus]

Yeah it's wack

[muted plume]

and for the record you can say fuck and bitch, just not some certain ones

[scarlet nimbus]

Bruh

[mental cave]

sounds like default nightbot settings lol

[muted plume]

but it makes no sense cuz why punish me after you deleted my message? nobody saw my message so no harm was done?

[scarlet nimbus]

Halo server doesn't allow the word damn

[muted plume]

bruh

[mental cave]

damn

[scarlet nimbus]

Also on the Xbox server you get ip banned for saying 4 curse words

[muted plume]

one of the mods said they’d tell the moderation team about my point but i highly doubt they give a damn

[scarlet nimbus]

That's a bad word on the halo serber 😳

[muted plume]

[mental cave]

😂

I got the warning after saying arguably the most mild word anyone can use too, it literally doubles as a farming tool name 😫

[scarlet nimbus]

Bruh the jet needs a phat health buff

If you fly by a good night bird they can demolish you in like maybe 2 seconds even at ranges of 500m

[mental cave]

I feel like maybe the nightbird needs a debuff , its kind of a menace to infantry

[scarlet nimbus]

The night bird is a menace to any air vehicle

[quaint ivy]

if u know how to approach one with an attack heli, they arent that bad. attack helis climb faster

[mental cave]

I think a real problem is the wildcats that camp inside spawns on breakthrough games

[quaint ivy]

yeah those things are a pain in the ass. you can deal with them but its such a chore

[mental cave]

attack never seems to have air support

[quaint ivy]

im gonna be real with you, i only play attack with my squad and i maybe lose 1 game a day tops with or without the air support.

[quaint ivy]

its so ez to counter air normally

[mental cave]

I barely win as attack, its tough

[quaint ivy]

i think playing alone is dangerous

[mental cave]

I figured out if I use the scar with smokes in the 40mm tube and smokes in my throwables I can make up for most of the team not throwing smokes

[quaint ivy]

i dont use them all that much, but yeah 1 person can fill that role well. 1 good squad with an objective based mindset can win the game normally

but smokes arent that great in this bf just because of paik and boris turrets. they will get better though im sure

[gaunt otter]

Am hot

[muted plume]

i want to play 2042 but i refuse to until they optimize it more. bold of them to assume that everyone has a 3060

[scarlet nimbus]

Just get a next gen console

[muted plume]

i’m not buying a console for a game

[plush coyote]

Is the bf 2042 beta finished yet?

[scarlet nimbus]

It's like 3 months into release

[plush coyote]

Surely not

[scarlet nimbus]

It released in November the beta was in like August or smth

So like just over 2 months

[plush coyote]

Oh I just thought it was still a beta with how terrible it is

[scarlet nimbus]

The actual beta was worse then this

[plush coyote]

That was the alpha this is the beta

[scarlet nimbus]

Flares? Didn't even work,
Gunners in vehicles? Insesent jittering and the driver had control over the camera

Also active radar lock on warning doesn't work rn

[quaint ivy]

i mean gunners still dont work correctly

[plush coyote]

@scarlet nimbus I know I was there

[scarlet nimbus]

NGL sometimes flares still don't work

[glossy storm]

I read someone saying that in the beta, the tornado could pick up containers and that this has been removed in the final release.

Is this true?

[quaint ivy]

i cant remember but i do remember hearing people talk about it destroying stuff it went over. dont actually think that was true but i cant remember, they were rarer then

as of now, they are too numerous and they tank performance. its neat, but they can actually make you lose games

[scarlet nimbus]

The tornado can barely pick up a person half the time

[quaint ivy]

i wish they didn't go right through objectives lol

they always seem to do it right at the worst possible time

[scarlet nimbus]

The worst weather event though is sandstorm as jets

Can't see shit all Infront of you

[quaint ivy]

oh yeah, its not that great for the other ones either but jets are useless cause of the speeds youre going

[scarlet nimbus]

You get like maybe 50m of vision

Only hope if is it's marked or has a soflam lock

[quaint ivy]

im surprised they did that because everyone hated when fjell went full whiteout mode

[scarlet nimbus]

Yeah sandstorm gave me fjell ptsd

[arctic grove]

Still no word from the devs after a month, nice

[quaint ivy]

yo brutal expectations, let them get back from holiday dude come on

[scarlet nimbus]

The game is in a pretty iffy state though

[arctic grove]

@quaint ivy im just pissed, spent half the day trying to get a refund from EA and thry either close the chat as soon as i mention refund or offer me 5% off on my next purchase

[quaint ivy]

yeah...thats the general experience i see a lot.

[arctic grove]

I get they outsource those people but come on

Like im on the verge of filing a complaint in Australia

[quaint ivy]

i think you should. you guys don't have server population. its ridiculous

[arctic grove]

2hr wait time

On pc with Xplay, and even if i manage to get a match 80% of it is just bots

This is during peak times in the AU too

[quaint ivy]

yeah thats unacceptable.

[arctic grove]

In Australian law im pretty sure its illegal too, considering they are refusing me a refund, when the game is glitchy amd unplayable

Sony been taken to caught here for not refunding cyberpunk

[quaint ivy]

id say do what you gotta do. i feel for the oce community man

[arctic grove]

Completely unacceptable from EA honesty, will never be buying from origin again, atleast steam knows whats up and refunding players who have hundreds of hours

EA baited the community with great trailers and hype, while we were all hoping for a epic BF game. And being told the game was on schedule for release

[quaint ivy]

yeah we haven't heard the end of how this will go. its pretty easy to assume there will be lawsuits

[summer tree]

We are 5600 players on steam now

Soon we down to zero

[quaint ivy]

naw there are diehards

if it hit zero it would be a fkn anomaly though

[arctic grove]

The game doesn't feel like battlefield, it feels like a arcade shooter, i was showing a friend the difference between BF1 and 2042, she thought BF1 was the latest game cause it looked incredible

It just feels like they tried to grab all the fortnite kids and warzone players and they still failed at that

The game should've just been called Battlefield Heroes 2, and then developed a actual battlefield game in the same universe but with actual soldiers, amd have all the paid cosmetics in heroes

[summer tree]

Customer law protect the weak party , so honestly with this fraud we should suits them

[arctic grove]

And the community would be happy

Yea, when law suits start happening im jumping on the lawsuit wagon

[quaint ivy]

they still have the ability to drastically change the game but no one knows what is going to happen. still waiting for communication ya know?

[arctic grove]

I love how they are insisting on doing specialists again for the next game

[summer tree]

Man are you crazy ? They had 3 years to figured out

[quaint ivy]

that could change too. hell you could not have one. who knows.

[arctic grove]

Like bruh, your game is almost dead

[summer tree]

They can’t improve so much in such a short time 😂

[arctic grove]

Honestly i would rather battlefield fall to the side and die then watch it get dragged through the mud further, like if we wanted to play a arcadey shooter, we would be playing CoD

[summer tree]

They make some QoL , and add the season content and that’s it , the game will be death after that

[quaint ivy]

yeah but they didn't. im not saying they are going to do these things. im just saying we dont know what they even plan to do

[summer tree]

They can’t revamp all the game , so much is broken , all the real team has left, they only have a bunch of intern and new member now

[arctic grove]

This is why you dont let the candy crush guy lead

[quaint ivy]

you still have ripple effect. those guys are solid. they have also brought in some good names. might be too late though. we will see

[summer tree]

Think about money , ea it’s a billon dollar company , if battlefield 2042 doesn’t give them money for their fiscal year they will give up quickly asap

[quaint ivy]

true. they could just axe it like squadrons. but they could also improve it and recoup more money.

as far as finances go, you wont hear about it until feb tbh

[arctic grove]

My hope for this year, specialists reworked, they should've been added as a call in system, and kept normal infantry, like say squad leaders got to be a specialist or have like own this cap zone and you can spawn as this class of specialist

[quaint ivy]

if they axe it, they are basically conceding all of the refunds though so i dont think they would do that

[sweet ice]

mommy milkers

[quaint ivy]

yeah thats not a bad idea and not hard to implement really

[summer tree]

What do you mean by axe ?

[quaint ivy]

there was no added content

[summer tree]

even the store of the game is empty since the release it doesn’t feel good at all ahaha

[arctic grove]

Yea like sorta like bf4 commander system, you cap this point and you can spawn a ac-130, but players can start spawning as specialists, and that would create teamplay as you might need a flying squirrel to launch yourself off the cliff on breakaway to capture a heavily defended cap

Like have the middle capture zones the specialist areas and surrounding zones the weaker specialists that dont hive much of a advantage, like one could be Irish and the other dozer amd those would be the closest to your spawns

[summer tree]

The only problem , to make some big change they need to change a lot of the game , and the new comers doesn’t manage frostbite really well

[quaint ivy]

they can learn though. its hard to get a job in video games, they dont just pick up any schmo off the street normally

[summer tree]

Yeah , I know but Frobiste is a difficult engine , I mean the previous developers had like 30 years of experience

[arctic grove]

I wanna know what ea was thinking, like the BFV character customisation was neat

[quaint ivy]

i mean they are bringing in the art director for the first halo game. idk if u do that if you have no faith in the franchise

[summer tree]

Now with month and internship worker what do you expect ? :/

But not only one guys will change the game

[quaint ivy]

all i can say is we will see. if it was to be the game we want, its obviously a looooong road.

[summer tree]

Hud , sound design , animation , map design so much to change

[arctic grove]

Honestly Dice needs to make the outlandish customisation toggleable

I dont wanna be seeing a cowboy Mackay

[quaint ivy]

you want me to tell you something about cowboy mackay?

[arctic grove]

No buttons?

[quaint ivy]

the cowboy hat makes his hitbox slightly larger

[arctic grove]

Lmao

Also my nephew who is 12 thinks 2042 is the best game in the world

So its clearly working on its targeted audience

[quaint ivy]

he's 12. he wasn't around for when games were slick and evolving

[worthy inlet]

They need to double down on the outlandish customisation

I want to have master chief dozer

[worn whale]

I just want this game to be normal

[arctic grove]

Like there is a decent game buried in there somewhere

[quaint ivy]

i want a knitting falck skin XD

[worthy inlet]

Ngl that's a legit good idea

[arctic grove]

What colour dragon do you want

[worthy inlet]

Knitting needle knife takedown

[quaint ivy]

ill put my app into dice and see what i get XD

[worn whale]

I want a T-REX named "Miller" that have 20MM cannons on the left and right of its body, and I want em to be green

[worthy inlet]

I don't want boat combat, I want ridable megalodons

[arctic grove]

Alright thatll be the top battlefield battlepass vehicle

@worn whale what br and nation u doing?

[worn whale]

I do germany and US, 7BR on both nations

[arctic grove]

Nice

I got top for everything but swedish and french ground

[worn whale]

I hate it, I went as low as 5,3 BR and they still put me with 7BR

I had to face a King tiger with my 75MM sherman

[arctic grove]

I find 8.7 ussr the most fun

[summer tree]

Well there is clown and knights skin planned so why not

[arctic grove]

Object 279, T62's T55's, bmps, alot of fun vehicles

[worn whale]

USSR for me is at 3,7

[arctic grove]

If Gaijin does a Valentine event again, i highly recommended picking up the soviet Valentine for the 1k GE, its really worth it

[summer tree]

Don’t we have any developer on this discord channel? Djd they say something?

[waxen violet]

Where can i find the patch notes?

[sinful ore]

does anyone know how to remove badges in my player card ?

[tame cobalt]

When are we getting the PENCIL meelee weapon tho?

I can't feel like a true badass till i can take someone out with a pencil

[prisma anvil]

"with a fucking pencil"

[arctic grove]

Pencil dick

[hardy leaf]

why is #direct-communication so inactive

[worthy inlet]

Because they've been on holidays

[hardy leaf]

its jan 17 today

[light flint]

what da dog doin?

[worthy inlet]

Yes, congrats

[graceful hatch]

shouldnt ask questions u dont want to know the answer to lol

[desert elbow]

He doesn’t want to know a workplace upholds respectful vacation practices?

[graceful hatch]

refrain from pinging me in future please friend

[fringe kite]

why

[brazen surge]

Hi，is there anyone know how to set a real PVE server in the Portal? I try, but not success. when I build a new server and 1st time play it, the human player can be only in the same team, AI in other team. But if 1st map is finished , change map, someone will be auto-balanced to other side.

[hardy leaf]

no idea

[brazen surge]

I think this may be a bug. All the PVE servers in portal are PVP. Both team has human players. Can not find a PVE server.

[fallen leaf]

those mfs had to crunch a full year to pull out this shitty dumpster fire of a game

[granite pawn]

Thank you

@ember condor no

[ember condor]

please

please play

[worthy inlet]

No

[summer tree]

Holiday on 17th ?

[worthy inlet]

Not sure

They've posted something on the 14th though

[summer tree]

A artwork which is not even in the game yeah super useful

I mean they can post apology or something like call of duty did at least

[granite pawn]

Yeah why are they like why everyone hate this game it's good and have no bugs? Why cant they just say sorry?!

[granite pawn]

Really sad to see how battlefield is dying

What's makes me even more sad is the fact that the next battlefield game will be released only in 3 years

[neat totem]

so whens the lawsuit starting?

[shy mist]

Why is there no updates anymore?

[ionic adder]

Not sure if there's really grounds for that, since the game technically "works".

[arctic grove]

what makes u think it’s dying?

[neat totem]

I'm pretty sure this was false advertising

we were even told during alpha testing that it wasnt representative of the game but from what I see, it's almost a verbatim port of the alpha from almost a year ago

I mean unless you're allowed to scam this hard, if so I'll refrain from ever purchasing an ea title because this was absolute bait and switch

[lethal reef]

One should be this week Tuesday- Thursday

[arctic grove]

there is updates. patches and bug fixes till March which starts season one

[lucid goblet]

Please keep this chat respectful. Devs have only been back to work fully since the 10th (not inc weekends) so give them time, teams are aware of issues/concerns from the community and we should, hopefully, get some info this week although nothing has been announced on that as yet.

[summer tree]

We are the end on January and still no any update lol but 5000 players still playing on steam and lot of bots are online now

[next isle]

Maybe we should restrict talks of lawsuits or legal matters

People in this channel all seem to be legal experts lol

[arctic grove]

steam is not only one of a few platforms on PC that users are playing through, you are also dismissing console players

[summer tree]

I’m a lawyer doesn’t it count ?

[next isle]

No

Go to a law discord if you want to discuss the law

[neat totem]

ok dude, would be nice for them to update us because last I checked new years was 17 days ago

I'm back at my job, everyone else I know is back at their job, let alone people who released a product RIGHT BEFORE the holidays

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/popcorn-eating-popcorn-movie-time-gif-12551924

[neat totem]

when we just gonna realize EA is on fire internally and doesn't want to say anything that isn't perfectly tailored legally

[summer tree]

So, freedom of expression what does mean for you ?

[arctic grove]

Non law things in a battlefield discord

[next isle]

It sure does not mean anything, because I'm not the US government

[neat totem]

im still excited to see what that gold edition got me, if not lawsuit city because I paid for 1 season(s) and 4 updates in that season

[arctic grove]

Didn’t 4 face law suits

[neat totem]

yup! it lost (the lawsuit) because of a verbage technicality

[arctic grove]

if so why? never heard about that

[neat totem]

they basically used what someone mentioned before, which was "it was working" but on a specific hardware/browser/configuration

[sinful snow]

Depends on what region you're playing ... on EU I never encountered AIs and I have more than 250+ hours into this game 🙂

[arctic grove]

there you go

[neat totem]

I have a feeling EA will get a lawsuit on this one, it's just gonna take a season or two for them to either dump money into an already dead game or take the legal hit for it

[arctic grove]

what for?

It’s right above in the screen shot

oh no I meant for 2042

[summer tree]

Man, I get that, but it’s a international standard right anyway even on internet as jurisprudence said

[next isle]

BF4 had very different issues from 2042 I heard

[arctic grove]

The MAV is so Op

not really

Yes really

[next isle]

BF4 was unplayable from what I've heard

[next onyx]

Bf4 from what i heard was genuinely unplayable

LOL

[next isle]

Something that isn't close to a description of 2042

[sinful snow]

so you believe that the trailer was misleading or what?!

[arctic grove]

It was really buggy

Maybe for you

[next onyx]

I think for even a year and a bit, Mozzy?

[summer tree]

Bf4 was not playable but as content , as a solo and as many feature

[arctic grove]

it’s not, an armored transport vehicle isn’t meant to be weak especially if it’s being supported with a good team inside the vehicle and outside around it

[scenic tartan]

Bolte rockets are my new favorite thing, hitting helis with it is so fun

[arctic grove]

I couldn't log on bf4 for weeks same with bfV

[next isle]

You can dislike the design decisions for 2042 all you want, and some of that feedback is very valid, but the game is playable.

[summer tree]

2042 has not solo, no content , a step down on every way and get ride with bunch of feature

[arctic grove]

& then it happens on 2042 so I’m not surprised

There was days on BfV I couldn't even get the game to load

[next onyx]

I still remember how buggy chapter 4 was

[summer tree]

Playable as an alpha , not playable as a retail game

[magic harness]

[scenic tartan]

Talk of "scams" "frauds" "false advertising" "lawsuits" etc should all be banned. its all nonsense and isn't conductive to a good community

[arctic grove]

Ive had very few moments I couldn't load Bf2042 maybe twice

if you’ve got enough guys with anti tank roles you’ll do just fine killing mavs

[sinful snow]

Yep, I agree. It's in a playable state right now, there are still bugs but that doesn't interfere with the gameplay so often if you know how to avoid them, let's say.

[arctic grove]

realistically how many people here would actually attempt to sue dice or whoever over this game

[summer tree]

With 3 years of development, it should be more than that , it’s even more obvious the game has many trouble with so many old developers from dice that left

[arctic grove]

The 60mm flake cannon on the MAV destories air vehicles

[desert elbow]

2042 has solo modes, it has tons of content too, almost on par with bf4

[arctic grove]

don’t use air vehicles to kill them AGMs aren’t good rn

Mix the 60mm flake with the 50mm cannon

https://youtu.be/KTJ4dIpYwcc

[summer tree]

A story mode , not a joke solo mode to play with bots that are now in online game too 😂

[next isle]

I personally dislike a lot of the design in 2042, but yes, the game is nowhere near unplayable from a technical standpoint lol

[arctic grove]

@arctic grove lol agm are Op as fuck

[desert elbow]

Bots are amazing, one of the best additions in the game

[magic harness]

Siege of Shanghai is literally better than all 2042 maps combined

[arctic grove]

i may be incorrect but I think 2 AGMs on a hovercraft doesn’t kill it in game

[summer tree]

Are you joking right ?

[arctic grove]

@arctic grove you get two. Use both

[desert elbow]

People always hated on Shanghai since the tower messed with the map flow, I really liked it though

[desert elbow]

Are you?

[arctic grove]

maybe that’s what you should be doing instead of complaining MAVs are OP

[plush coyote]

i cant wait for the full BF 2042 game to be released im tired of playing the beta

[summer tree]

If you compare to 2010 a game with many content and solo mode cost 60$, now it’s 90$ with lack of content, and only multiplayer , I mean you can’t even swim in that game 😂

[arctic grove]

@arctic grove mavs are Op when I'm driving them

You thought I was complaining rather bragging

[desert elbow]

2042 literally has more content than both bf1, bf3 and BF5 at launch, wdym lmao

[arctic grove]

my misunderstanding brother I humbly apologize

[sinful snow]

That's how the current world works now pal, everything is based on a Live Service model ...

[arctic grove]

@arctic grove I like the MAV my friend uses the passanger gunner 60mm flake and kills planes and choppers with it

I am the battlefield bus

in that case if that’s what you meant I think it’d just take a rao or EMP grenades and C5 to do the job

[summer tree]

Yes for some company but not a AAA billion dollar company

[arctic grove]

that’s probably what I’d do if the MAV was enough of a problem but usually since everyone can use any gadget there’s more guys with M5s to melt them

[desert elbow]

That’s what AAA companies are known for now, for better or for worse

[foggy tundra]

looks legit

[scenic tartan]

The 50mm cannon on the jeep is crazy strong too but nobody uses it

[arctic grove]

And this beauty too

[scenic tartan]

I saw someone using the 50mm on the jeep with someone in passenger repairing and they were just demolishing tanks and players with it

[magic harness]

Unfortunately there are no portal servers in many regions and the base game has the least guns and the worst maps of the series

[sinful snow]

No no, triple A companies are following this service model because they have the resources to support a Live Service model further down the road ... an Indie company wouldn't have these resources and financial support to allow such a model for their products

[summer tree]

Ea can’t stay like that , they have investor to pleased

[foggy tundra]

sounds like a bf4 moment, never got to play it at launch

[magic harness]

If portal guns and maps were in AOW, probably 2042 can be a decent game then

[arctic grove]

[foggy tundra]

like i heard launch bf4 WAS BAD

but i never thought it WAS THAT BAD

[desert elbow]

The base game has over 70 guns, more than bf4 at launch, also the maps are actually pretty good, just vehicle based which many people dislike

[arctic grove]

yep nothing new under the sun

[summer tree]

Yeah but I mean if the base of game is really not good how do you sheep the live service around ?

[foggy tundra]

didnt play bf4 til like, 3 months before 2042 launched

[magic harness]

70 guns ? There are only 22

[arctic grove]

[desert elbow]

That’s in All Out Warfare

[magic harness]

Thats what I'm saying , portal is dead in most regions and all out warfare is the only thing

[foggy tundra]

tbf bf4 guns were reskins with different mods, if you look at it, 2042 has about the same amount of reconfigurations bf4 does

[arctic grove]

not to mention that 2042 replaced 4s gun variety that was not actually different but just served as a different model to play with once in a while outside your usual setups, every gun in 2042 is unique

[cedar sandal]

Hazard Zone gets a lot of players too

[scenic tartan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnT73D_3JHg

[foggy tundra]

i was shredding with the vcar earlier btw

[arctic grove]

Sundance has a 5 foot ass with a butt in the middle

[foggy tundra]

they never expect it

[empty bloom]

source ?

[foggy tundra]

then i got killed by a vcar

pog

[desert elbow]

Portal has bot support, you can still play each of the modes

[arctic grove]

[cedar sandal]

I get a lot of games in HZ

[summer tree]

Bad map design, bad sound design, almost zero destruction , not any art design in interior just white and empty, a useless tornado which barely does nothing , dated animation , you can’t even swim faster or dive like before , no more lean , air vehicle are the worst

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/christmas-eve-on-sesame-street-sesame-street-oscar-oscar-the-grouch-wrong-gif-15746432

[scenic tartan]

I really have been starting to like this game even more than before the last week trying some other specalists and vehicles

[arctic grove]

you’ve used a lot of umbrella terms to tell us why 2042 is bad but you haven’t quite specified a lot of your points

[scenic tartan]

It feels like somehow breakthrough has gotten better since people started learning to use smokes and kill helis more

[sinful snow]

First, you need to release a barebone product which is at least bug free and then frequently release updates and add content as free of charge for everyone - that's how you won't split the player base like it happened in the past.

[arctic grove]

I've only played 1 specialist and won't play any others

[cedar sandal]

Just today I got like 18 games in with Paik in Hazard Zone
https://i.imgur.com/rqS18YK.jpg

[arctic grove]

If there’s no destruction tell me why did a night bird shoot out all the concrete from a building I was in

[cedar sandal]

Not the most impressive streak yet but the games are there

[foggy tundra]

holy fuck

[glossy storm]

Almost zero destruction? Nope, it's there in a considerable amount, but is probably toned down from previous games.

[scenic tartan]

I wanted to post a gif of that MAV driving through the c4

[arctic grove]

[dusky blade]

You know, I wonder if battlefield will ever recover

2042 is genuinely a massive stab in the gut for the franchise

[arctic grove]

i think by destruction players mean they want to be able to destroy everything or have levolution events. but the problem with those is how those events change the maps gameplay is disliked by a lot of people

[foggy tundra]

^

[summer tree]

So expect to have drastic improvement as animation , art design , destruction and weather condition and gameplay feature ? No way this is the main game , they will just add content and QoL that’s (balance ,..)

[foggy tundra]

you never take down the building in that one map

and if you do, youre gonna get shit from everyone

even your own team

[arctic grove]

lmao

[cedar sandal]

I like BF2042

[arctic grove]

[scenic tartan]

2042 is great idk what you mean

[cedar sandal]

For me, the game overdelivered on the gameplay and has performance/bug issues they're gonna work out over time

[arctic grove]

I enjoy 2042, I’ll probably be level 90 soon anyway

[desert elbow]

• Maps are fine, they are vehicle based which many people have clearly liked in the past (BF3: Armored Assault)
• Sound design is amazing, the sounds themselves are phenominal and it works binaurally
• Destruction is amazing, but the map design doesn't allow for it to be displayed much
• Interiors are amazing, I can even prove it if you like
• The tornado is great and helps traverse the large maps
• The animations are pretty slick, I'd say they are pretty good
• Why does it matter if you can't dive if there's no water between objectives? (Except Kaledioscope)
• True, removing leaning was odd
• Air vehicles are fine & balanced

[cedar sandal]

I already got my money's worth from the 600 or so hours I've spent on this game

[dusky blade]

It can’t be denied it has hurt the franchise and it’s reputation

[scenic tartan]

ok but i like the game am i trying to invest in EA or something wtf

[desert elbow]

That reminds me of what people were saying when BC1, BF3, BF4, BF1 & BF5 released, huh funny pattern right?

[arctic grove]

It’s the same thing that happened to 4 & then everyone will come back liking 2042

i doubt there’s a single game engine that could handle dynamic destruction for hourglasses skyscrapers allowing you to collapse them down to the foundation

[dusky blade]

No other game has only had mostly negative reviews on steam, 1.5 star ratings consoles, massively falling player counts, insane backlash to this scale

[arctic grove]

It’s just a pattern with battlefield, people will hate it for awhile then they’ll like it

[foggy tundra]

that would cause severe lag/game crashes if they allowed that in hourglass

[scarlet nimbus]

Welp our condor got I instantly blown up by a wildcat gunner and people are calling hacks

[scenic tartan]

https://i.makeagif.com/media/1-17-2022/tuQdqP.gif

[sinful snow]

Well, in theory it's possible, but if we are looking at the last BF title which followed the same servicing model - there were a lot of core mechanics added further down the road - one example that I have in my mind right now is the crouch roll and ledge grabbing features which they were added somewhere in the mid cycle of development

[dusky blade]

This is a first for that

[magic harness]

Game has been out for like 60 days , 10 hours a day ??? Wtf

[cedar sandal]

Yeah dude this game is awesome

[scenic tartan]

hey i know you're probably just like paid to post this stuff or something but its really tiring to read the same complaints like this. just get it out of your system nobody is going to argue about your copy/paste talking points.

[arctic grove]

2042 > Hardline

[arctic grove]

that’s what I’m hoping they’ll repeat with 2042, massive updates like that to movement and what not

[cloud steeple]

I fuckin love this game

[arctic grove]

[plush coyote]

[cedar sandal]

Ah I only have 556 hours not 600

[foggy tundra]

should add an operations style mode for bf2042

[dusky blade]

Okay? It’s not like people in my position are happy about the game. We post the same complaints because the complaints aren’t being addressed

I could ask why you defend the game so much and ignore the objective damage it has done?

[arctic grove]

2042 needs to re add the jumping and sliding counters otherwise we’ll be stuck with a very cod feeling movement

[arctic grove]

You mean the same complaints that go through this channel every day lol

[scenic tartan]

ok whatever just post the copy/paste again ok

[magic harness]

And I wonder why games like 2042 keep coming out

[sinful snow]

They will at some point, that's because DICE usually likes to please the vocal part of the community in the long run ...

[dusky blade]

Just ignoring the last line, alright

[tender folio]

did you even sleep?

[cloud steeple]

Yo who wanna squad up

I’m on ps5

[cedar sandal]

Yeah not BSing you guys I basically no-lifed launch week and took christmas season off to play it
https://i.imgur.com/1pYpJ3P.png

[arctic grove]

well how exactly could it be addressed? how do we know dices radio silence isn’t being translated into giving complaints fixes ?

[scenic tartan]

yeah operations would be g reat

[cedar sandal]

Not during launch week that's for sure

[summer tree]

Map fine ? Runfield , not any transport worth it like bike or atv to call in, destruction, you can’t even break some wall yeah totally improved, yeah kaleidoscope have the best reused asset for interior really , Tornado as a transport wow, it supposed to be evolution and change the battlefield wich it’s not , animation are worst than bf3 clunky apex feel, because maybe on the main page of the game there is a boat with water ? Air vehicle with useless spread for plane , and helicopter going to the ceiling

[cloud steeple]

I don’t see how anyone hates this game it’s so good

[scarlet nimbus]

Also whyd they make it that riot shields can melee now

[foggy tundra]

if they communicate theyll get flak, if they dont theyll get flak. but itll be worse if they communicate than if they dont

its weird but thats how it works

humans are weird

[arctic grove]

[cloud steeple]

I hate people with those

[scenic tartan]

riot shield melee should be like 4 hits to kill

i dont mind the shield used as a cover to move up but using it to kill is a little too much

[summer tree]

If they communicate a real statement and not like previous “legacy feature” they not get flak

[cedar sandal]

Ballistic shield seems fine to me. It's a meme weapon

[scarlet nimbus]

People just camp elevators with shield

[cloud steeple]

Even 2 would be good

[foggy tundra]

theyll still get flak regardless

[cedar sandal]

People would camp elevators with anything and be effective you can prefire them anyway

[scenic tartan]

Isnt it two hits now?

[sinful snow]

Me, personally, I would like to see facts not apologies or other corporate/press statements. And the facts means updates released, a roadmap for Year 1 content and more content added to the game and that's all.

[cedar sandal]

It's two hits against people with armor

[tidal abyss]

i hate campers so much

[foggy tundra]

you might not give them flak should they do that, however there are people who will just give flak for the sake of it

[cloud steeple]

I don’t think so. I get killed in 1

[scenic tartan]

wow its 1 hit thats really dumb

[cedar sandal]

If you wear armor, it's 2

[desert elbow]

True about your review point, but the player count drops were replicated in bf1's and bf5's launch, also BF5's/bf4's backlash was easily far worse lmao

[scenic tartan]

no it should be 2 regular 3 with armor

[foggy tundra]

the moment i see a riot shield is the moment i start feeling fear because the only thing thatll save me is AP rounds which a VCAR does not have

[arctic grove]

definitely agree that a roadmap should be given to the community, but luckily things are looking good (who knows how it’ll ultimately turn out tho) for march, since we’re getting content
