battlefield-2042

[foggy crest]

try it now

[gusty jasper]

Less so MW, more so vanguard I guess

[somber pebble]

Sledgehammer is a bunch of smooth brains

[fierce gull]

isn't vanguard like the worst selling call of duty

[foggy crest]

i want u to try MW19 its working fine man 3 days ago there was 5 gb update which fixed it

[prisma anvil]

even less than IW?

[summer crescent]

Microsoft might actually deal with all the hackers in warzone

[foggy crest]

yeah well it deserved it its nothing new nothing special

[fierce gull]

making them pay $500 to get unbanned

[summer crescent]

deadass?

[somber pebble]

Ricochet is starting to rev up

[fierce gull]

lol no im joking

[prisma anvil]

actually no, people still bought IW for MW remastered, forgot about that

[summer crescent]

In a good way?

[fierce gull]

what if sony bought EA 🧐

[prisma anvil]

unlikely

[wide violet]

the move would be for Sony to buy out Nintendo

[somber pebble]

Yeah, makes hackers detected do no damage, it's kinda funny to see

[summer crescent]

Possible monopoly

[wide violet]

but thatll never happen

[prisma anvil]

right?

[somber pebble]

Only if the CEO diddles enployees

[wide violet]

yikers

[prisma anvil]

idk why but that line gave me a right fine chuckle...good shit m8

[gusty jasper]

I played it yesterday, I'm still having issues with alt tabbing/weird performance in WZ but it's a lot better I'll admit. Sucks that the armor exploit is still in the fucking game

[wide violet]

Shout out to the 1 month anniversary of us not hearing anything from EA/DICE

[earnest verge]

[fierce gull]

They better do something cool when they announce something

[prisma anvil]

its just gonna be a tutorial on how to play breakthrough

[somber pebble]

It'll be a half assed tweet from a low tier graphic designer at DICE

[wide violet]

CoD and Infinite had their devs touch base saying they will fix the game but guess we dont have that luxury

[foggy crest]

they will fix it

[fierce gull]

they gonna fix the prices of the bundle store

[tough lodge]

They're gonna add double xp that you can buy at the store.

[earnest verge]

im pretty confident there will be a hughe update when they speak out together with season 1 trailer, no doubt about it

[foggy crest]

COD games will be on steam too 🙌

[fierce gull]

did they remove the original clan skins from warzone/mw or cold war or something

[prisma anvil]

imo they need to start the patches now, no content and no patches till march is a death sentence

[fierce gull]

or replace

[gusty jasper]

Did they confirm that?

[earnest verge]

i dont like the silence either, i also think its dumb, but same time, lots to do. I think no matter how dead the game, with the right patch players will be right back

[prisma anvil]

alex did give me a cheeky "perhaps" when i asked him about the patch, so theyre probably working to get a quick late jan patch ready...but they cant say for sure for a few reasons which i think we all know

[earnest verge]

and i mean, i cant even play the game, but i have hope

[foggy crest]

gamepass stuff now releases on steam too so i think yes its just me saying not confirmed yet

[stiff spruce]

Microsoft bought Activision i wonder if COD is going to get better or even worse they should buy DICE out next

[prisma anvil]

my own fucked up psyche cant let me believe that...but you go ahead m8...

[fierce gull]

pls no

[stiff spruce]

look what Microsoft did to Minecraft

[earnest verge]

i own 2x gold edition, need to cope somehow

[fierce gull]

this means xbox exclusive skins for 2042 xbox users

[gusty jasper]

Microsoft made Minecraft good or bad?

[prisma anvil]

oh yeah....you do own 2 gold editions....ouch

[gusty jasper]

I'd rather Minecraft not be tied to that nutcase named Notch

[stiff spruce]

id say Microsoft did well with Minecraft after they acquired it

[arctic grove]

guys you wanna hear a joke

[fierce gull]

People say it's worse

where can I play minecraft playstation edition since ps minecraft is now bedrock

[weak ice]

This game

[arctic grove]

"No organization’s culture, including ours, is without need for improvement, and thanks to your input, we are making strides in improving ours. My commitment is to continue evolving our culture so that come closing, Microsoft is acquiring an exemplary workplace."
-Activision ceo bobby kotick

[marble cradle]

ooowww , MICROSOFT BUY ACTIVISION BLIZZARD

[arctic grove]

EXEMPLARY WORKPLACE????

bro

[prisma anvil]

ah yes, truly exemplary

[gusty jasper]

CEOs are tone deaf, all of them

[marble cradle]

JESUS , 68 BILLION DOLLARS

[arctic grove]

Not Phil Spencer.

the only thing exemplary is bobby koticks wallet

and his hypocrisy

[arctic grove]

That dude is getting booted once Microsoft takes control.

[hard plume]

They overpaid

[arctic grove]

phil spencer doesnt like him at all

[prisma anvil]

i mean what ip's they got with that aquisition?

[hazy otter]

Oh 100%

[arctic grove]

the guy straight up emailed activision and told them they are trash lmao

[foggy crest]

read bobby's story its interesting he made activion like norman osborn made oscorp

[prisma anvil]

cod, for sure, what others?

[arctic grove]

the guy was genuinely disturbed about what was going on at activision, bobby kotick is 100% getting booted for good

[earnest verge]

im hoping d4 turnes out a banger

[prisma anvil]

d4?

[arctic grove]

diablo 4

[prisma anvil]

ohhhh, ah i dont know jack about diablo

so cod, diablo, overwatch, "candy crush" what else?

[earnest verge]

candy crush

[prisma anvil]

bruh

[arctic grove]

overwatch

[wide violet]

you seen how much candy crush brings in a quarter?

[arctic grove]

and anything blizzard owns

this acquisition is baaaaad news for activisions executives

once phil spencer is in charge, shits about to go down

[wide violet]

Candy Crush made 1bill in 2020

[prisma anvil]

jesus

[arctic grove]

who tf plays candy crush and SPENDS FUCKING MONEY ON IT???

[wide violet]

game is free and somehow it made 1bill in 1 year lol

[prisma anvil]

women maybe?

i heard they like cc on their phones a lot....

[foggy crest]

In December 1990, Kotick and his partner Brian Kelly bought a 25% stake in the almost-bankrupt Activision, then known as Mediagenic. He changed the name back to Activision, performed a full restructuring of the company, and refocused the company on video games. Kotick became CEO of Activision in February 1991. From 1997 to 2003, Activision acquired nine development studios and released its first hit game in 1995. SOURCE - WIKI

[arctic grove]

the secret is overpriced mtx designed to entice you with horribly designed game mechanics

[hazy otter]

The acquisition makes total sense after it's been announced. Their stocks and overall value is down in light of the recent lawsuit. It's a great excuse to overhaul the all the executives too

[noble moth]

I mean they kinda overpaid but the warcraft franchise alone is a billion franchise

[wide violet]

its seeping into gaming because it works sadly

[noble moth]

If they revive wow and get 5m + subs again its 5m x 13 dollar EVERY month

[wide violet]

buddy of mine at work has already spent $200 on the Halo Cash shop

[arctic grove]

overwatch is a multi billion dollar ip

[prisma anvil]

jesus

[arctic grove]

im pretty sure

[noble moth]

Diablo, starcraft

[prisma anvil]

isnt overwatch 2 in the works?

[earnest verge]

you guys saying overpaid, u dont think a company like microsoft does their dd before paying almost 70 bill for something? i mean get real bois they get their moneys worth

[wide violet]

Microsoft runs a tight ship. Thats what im curious about. They wont let these devs push out a shitty half baked product. Unless they change their philosophy for the sake of bringing in the fucking loot

[arctic grove]

bro im glad microsoft purchased these mfs

[earnest verge]

me to, gonna pop champaign when they start replacing some ppl

[arctic grove]

microsofts quality standards dont apply to their software though

[noble moth]

I'm also glad ive played wow for over 12years its close to dead now

[wide violet]

it will either change gaming for the good or make our favorite hobby shite

[arctic grove]

windows 11 is still kinda buggy

[prisma anvil]

i mean micro's doing it for the long run...

[arctic grove]

Microsoft will absolutely clean up Activision and the rest. Ole bobby will be the first, but won't be the last.

[noble moth]

Activision blizzard is corrupt af

[arctic grove]

i mean microsoft are essentially acquiring game companies that are on the brink of failure

The chopping block is coming

[wide violet]

big facts

[arctic grove]

first it was bethesda and now its activision blizzard

nah its a good os but im thinking about jumping ship to macos this year as my laptop for college

[earnest verge]

linux hipster?

[wide violet]

linux in 2022??

[foggy crest]

its the best OS

[arctic grove]

Windows is the most standardized and easy OS to use lmao

the m1 macbook air is sooooo fucking compelling its insane

[prisma anvil]

windows is just better marketed and is the most idiot proof

[rotund plume]

I bet you people $100 that people will complain about the game now but in the next few years, people will be like "Only the launch was bad".
Same as BFV

[elder patrol]

Bruh mario64 is the bomb

[arctic grove]

Linux is good for serverside things but besides that I despise Linux.

I learned on Linux so Linux is easier to use imo

if it still supported bootcamp i would buy it without even thinking about it

I hate macs

but guess if i need windows at some point im gonna have to use a vm

Work gave me one I returned it for a chromebook with Linux

[arctic grove]

mac hardware is fucking legit

[foggy tundra]

mac sucks

[arctic grove]

I'm not knocking the product I'm just more efficient on other operating systems

[prisma anvil]

i dont like apple but i will give em credit for the cpu's and their security...not to mention how interconnected their systems are

[arctic grove]

i tried the trackpad and its on another fucking level

[earnest verge]

true gamer mod

[foggy tundra]

almost no upgrades, they solder alot of the hardware

[prisma anvil]

although a downside of that interconnectedness is that you need multiple devices to use that well

[foggy tundra]

like bruh

[jovial quest]

Any communication with DICE today?

[prisma anvil]

also, apple cameras are great

[wide violet]

macs are for ppl that play candy crush and purchase mtx prove me wrong

[foggy tundra]

theres a reason most games use windows

[arctic grove]

not the biggest fan of apples business practices too but their products are really good (except airpods 2nd gen) so i will give them that

The apple ecosystem will take all Facebook users

[foggy tundra]

all the homies use android

[wide violet]

nah we got another month and a half till anything brother

[foggy tundra]

2 devs have said soo

soon*

one in this chat

[foggy tundra]

and one on twitter

[arctic grove]

i switched to an iphone this year and its one of the best decisions i ever made lmfao

[foggy tundra]

[jovial quest]

At this point it’s kinda getting Annoying

[violet sluice]

I hate iPhone but that's all personal opinion.

[wide violet]

i may be harsh but I want DICE to come out and say something

[prisma anvil]

they are overpriced sometimes, have shitty decisions made for monetary purposes, but they have their good points....just depends on the person, for me living ona shoestring budget most of the times, android and windows just makes the most sense

[arctic grove]

the only apple products i would ever buy are iphone, ipad and maybe a mac

Work gave me an iPhone and I couldn't figure out how to use it

[fierce gull]

I mean we have a date for our announcement but like that would $5 for it to be early and $50 extra for apology

[arctic grove]

and i have been a windows user for over 10 years at this point

[foggy tundra]

based

[violet sluice]

iPhones feel like I have to fight with it to get it to do the things I want/need it to do.

[wide violet]

savage

[foggy tundra]

[fallen vapor]

At this point, I'd rather they keep their mouths and keyboards shit until they have something worth sharing.

[arctic grove]

i have experienced the ups and downs of windows and lets just say its not the most pleasant experience

[foggy tundra]

u shut right?

mean*

[violet sluice]

Shut the front door!

[foggy tundra]

not shit

[jovial quest]

No need to be mean

[foggy tundra]

shit keyboards are bad

[violet sluice]

Shit the front door?

[fallen vapor]

Is the meme reference intentional? LOL

[prisma anvil]

windows can be a bitch sometimes.....

[arctic grove]

i would buy a macbook for the hardware alone tbh

[foggy tundra]

almost

[fierce gull]

People want apology from dice now but I rather have an apology and a good update at the same time

[fallen vapor]

Yes lol my auto correct is messed up :(

[foggy tundra]

F

i have mine turned off

[earnest verge]

what the actualy f thats the one thing i wouldnt buy it for

[arctic grove]

you cant really find a windows laptop that brings it all together like the macbook

[prisma anvil]

no fuck you windows, i dont wanna update......" your pc will shut down in 12 min 34 mins 46 seconds"...bruhhhh

[fierce gull]

That's like old windows

[prisma anvil]

still, something we went through

[foggy tundra]

linux

[arctic grove]

Just fix the game honestly.

[arctic grove]

its true that before the m1 macs they had hardware and design flaws but they got fixed with the 2020 macs

[foggy tundra]

people want words, but actions speak louder

[jovial quest]

I wish game development wasn’t so secretive

[earnest verge]

we know, u hipster, u like it if no one else does

[arctic grove]

i used to think macs were just overpriced sheets of metal before the m1 tbh

[prisma anvil]

i think people would like atleast 1.....

[foggy tundra]

i wish people didnt rip off ideas when they go.public

[arctic grove]

Depends on the developer really.

but the m1 macs are without a doubt the best value laptops on the market and its insane

[wide violet]

im cynical. I like people to tell me theyre wrong when they are.

[jovial quest]

Ye

[foggy tundra]

[earnest verge]

i mean i use both mac and pc, iphone and samsung, apple software good, hardware overpriced / bad imo

[foggy tundra]

aight back to work i go

[arctic grove]

lol what apple hardware is some of the best in the industry

I had redhat version 2.0 stable with windows 95

[earnest verge]

the only hardware that keeps braking for me over the years, always apple, and always impossible or expensive af to fix

[arctic grove]

that doesnt happen nowadays anymore

gone are the days where macs had engineering and design flaws

[prisma anvil]

i mean, i got a 5500u laptop 8gb ram and 512 ssd for like what?.....400$, it does the job, is fast, enough storage, has a good screen and speakers, hell it even has unlimited student word and powerpoint....its a damn good deal and i dont need anything more for now....its just whatever is most important to what person at what time

[arctic grove]

I remember being pissed off Linux couldn't use windows modems to dialup and had to buy a fax modem to get online

[dim blade]

fking hate apple, but i am okay with owning an iphone provided i didnt pay for it

[arctic grove]

Now everyone posts memes

[earnest verge]

aka known in my community as a laptop for memes and netflix

[arctic grove]

im gonna study computer science/it this year so i think a mac is overall the better option for that crowd

[prisma anvil]

i mean hey, if its what you think you need, get it....its your requirements...if it meets those, go right ahead

[arctic grove]

i would have never considered getting a mac before just because they were overpriced af

[prisma anvil]

i mean hell, i can still play some games with this, ngl gta 4 even at medium looks pretty good man

[arctic grove]

but the 2020 macs are so competitively priced while having some of the best hardware

[earnest verge]

Speaking of ram, i wanna know how people run 2042 without issues on 16g ram, that is black sorccery stuff to me

[arctic grove]

its incredibly compelling

[prisma anvil]

cas latency or something they call it i think?

that and frequency i think

[earnest verge]

yeah but what bout the chrome tabs tho?

[prisma anvil]

defo gotta close those man

[amber panther]

hi, how to refund on steam guys?

[arctic grove]

core count and clock speed arent the whole picture

ipc is arguably more important

[earnest verge]

fo real tho i got pretty good ram and 2042 eats almost 16 by itself, im lucky to have 32 so i can keep some memes ready in the background for fast discord response

[amber panther]

is there no refund team out here? hello?

[prisma anvil]

try this right, after a decent while of 2042, check ram usage, then close and relaunch application and let it idle for like 5 mins and check ram usage....there are words about ram leaks so idk

[prisma anvil]

bruh this is just a discord of people playing 2042, we aint steam support

[earnest verge]

yeah i been thinking bout leaks aswell, not tried the game for a good while, waiting for patch as everyone else, but leaks makes sense

[rancid atlas]

don't be sad this is just how it's work out sometimes

[prisma anvil]

too late

the depression has already got me....it aint too bad tho

[wide violet]

monkaS

[earnest verge]

tag the mods, they love to tell you all about it

[prisma anvil]

tag the devs

no but fr, dont do that......

[fierce gull]

if you want a refund you gotta get the refund ultimate edition for $599

[prisma anvil]

ah yes, i see youre a fellow businessman too

[fierce gull]

yes

[left kraken]

we want news

[prisma anvil]

i want pizza

[fierce gull]

you will get ur news when you play this damn game

[jaunty anchor]

Bill gates buying you next, hopeless ASF dice and EA

[left kraken]

[prisma anvil]

"the money of the players, in the pockets of my pants"- ea probably

[earnest verge]

Mr bill not even ceo anymore lad

[jaunty anchor]

LMFAO

[fierce gull]

btw we might get an update this week according to a dev

[jaunty anchor]

literally tho

[foggy tundra]

according to 2*

[prisma anvil]

[arctic grove]

Is doesn't make sense to have a German solider on a pacific map on Japan team against USA team in battlefield 5

[foggy tundra]

you guys missed it, a dev popped in earlier

[fierce gull]

wilde reacted it's confirmed 🧐

[prisma anvil]

hmmm

wilde aint here....

[jaunty anchor]

Vibe killer no shit, I didn't mean it literally. You serious mfs need help

[foggy tundra]

are you sure?

[fierce gull]

look at the reactions

[prisma anvil]

[foggy tundra]

wilde being wildly sus

[prisma anvil]

i know,

[foggy tundra]

[prisma anvil]

wilde, why you being a sussy phasmophobia ghost?

[foggy tundra]

thats oddly specific

[prisma anvil]

pretty accurate though

[foggy tundra]

the true ghost is wilde

[prisma anvil]

pretty sure he's got this like opened on his phone or second monitor or something

[left kraken]

what a dev?

[fierce gull]

Developer

[prisma anvil]

devil

[naive trellis]

The latter, pretty good deduction.

[left kraken]

ok what dev said this week coming a update?

[prisma anvil]

big think brother

[wild mulch]

@naive trellis BY THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU, REVEAL YOURSELF

[naive trellis]

[fierce gull]

might be for portal tho

[foggy tundra]

[hard plume]

They overpaid

[prisma anvil]

[hushed nimbus]

[hard plume]

Those are rookie numbers!

[radiant echo]

Thing is

I play a lot of games beside BF

[prisma anvil]

tsk tsk tsk

[hard plume]

BF i life, get your head in the game

[arctic grove]

@prisma anvil you know it doesn't make sense to be playing as a German solider on a pacific map on Japan team with Japan soliders in battlefield 5.

[radiant echo]

That's BF4

Since 2014 or 15

[prisma anvil]

yes, welcome to bfv, first time?

[arctic grove]

No man

[prisma anvil]

now thats some good numbers right there....double that would be ideal

[hidden sand]

Wait wuh, are there some form of stats now for 2042?

Oh wait I guess this could be looked at otherways

[prisma anvil]

just go with it, dont question it

[summer granite]

Microsoft just bought Activision and blizzard

[hushed nimbus]

this will come after March, they said somehwere that EA needs to unlock the API endpoints

[radiant echo]

The Magnum is decent

[foggy crest]

i have 10 minutes play time

[fierce gull]

hours*

[hushed nimbus]

when do you have time to use pistols. main weapon or nothing

[pure basin]

Magnum takes 3 months to recock

[prisma anvil]

idk, i much prefer the glock, magnum's too slow for me

[foggy crest]

minutes

[onyx mica]

yea but im going to make the g57 as usps with silencer but they have very low accuracy and damage compared to usps in cs go

[radiant echo]

Yeah I go with it for the one tap headshot

[hushed nimbus]

that sweet 1 shot headshot with the usp chefkiss

[radiant echo]

pretty hard tho

[onyx mica]

lol

[flat hull]

is conquest not working for anyone else rn?

[earnest verge]

u prob gonna disslike this but i always drop the usp for the glock

[prisma anvil]

sawn off double barrel shotgun secondary when?

[hushed nimbus]

blasphemy

[onyx mica]

we don't have much choices

[pure basin]

Super shorty yes please

[prisma anvil]

kinda hard to do that on console...so its spray and pray for me

[earnest verge]

glock in csgo = god gun

[onyx mica]

gonna improvise

[hushed nimbus]

anyone dropping the usp for glock cannot aim

[earnest verge]

my average 65% hs rate says otherwise

[hybrid steppe]

weird way of saying Five Seven

[hushed nimbus]

silver 3?

[hushed nimbus]

now this is a man of culture

[earnest verge]

global, faceit 10

[hushed nimbus]

i will cast doubt at that ... next you are playing FPL-C

[earnest verge]

silvers use meta, pros rek with glock

[onyx mica]

carry me senpai

[fierce gull]

ew

[earnest verge]

pay me

[onyx mica]

noo im poor

[prisma anvil]

ah, we have a "globul" in chat

[hard plume]

Why you talkin about me like that

[fierce gull]

any dev here so they can tell me they gonna add hardline to portal

[hushed nimbus]

i actually used to be global...but to be fair mm is not that difficult if u spend the time

[arctic grove]

bruh

[arctic grove]

[hard plume]

I can pretend to be a dev of you want

[fierce gull]

sure

[radiant echo]

I'm pretty sure fans would prefer BF4 or BF2 even BF1

[hard plume]

Okay ask me

[hushed nimbus]

Am I the only one that wants 2142 in Portal since I've never played it?

[fierce gull]

hardline added to portal when?

[earnest verge]

it is now, they made it really wierd, u can decrease in elo even if u win and go possitve stats now, but back in the days global was free if u played enough games

[prisma anvil]

i aint throwing shade, cuz i cant get global for sure with my dogass aim... ....just like the word "globul"

[fierce gull]

bruh i need cops

[onyx mica]

man free global

[prisma anvil]

globul

idk why thats funny to me

[hushed nimbus]

Yeah I stopped two years now, I was too angry

[earnest verge]

what region u on?

[hard plume]

Never, the community turned its back on such a great game, you do not deserve such a gift, and for even asking we will mow be taking down all bf 1 servers

[arctic grove]

Hypothetically if EA drops military shooter battlefield IP and build a tactical shooter IP will you support it yes or no? And why?

[onyx mica]

asia must be far from you

[fierce gull]

[hard plume]

And scene.

[earnest verge]

yeah im affraid so :C

[fierce gull]

but i have 10000 hours

[hushed nimbus]

BF was never tactical

[onyx mica]

i am playing in na and eu bf 2042 now since my server is dying, and i want to keep playing

[hard plume]

Okay we’ll release just for you…while still shitting down bf1 servers

[prisma anvil]

hmmm......if it has "legacy features".... sure

[fierce gull]

goooood

[hushed nimbus]

Does anyone want to play HZ? I want the platinum

[arctic grove]

Read what I said never said Battlefield was tactical shooter

[prisma anvil]

you shut down bf1 servers. and you and me are gonna have a problem partner

[fierce gull]

can we have a space station map in 2042

[arctic grove]

[tame cobalt]

Bingus

[earnest verge]

i read a rumor somewhere there will be somewhat of a space themed map, but maybe i just dreamt it

[hard plume]

rolls up sleeves why wait, lets do this.

[tame cobalt]

Yes. No

[onyx mica]

where u from

[prisma anvil]

lets go fuckboi....

[fierce gull]

we need the space force

[arctic grove]

I was thinking if Battlefield was buried then EA will go and build a new IP of tactical shooters genre

[earnest verge]

Sweden bro, where we all played cs since we was 6 years old

[hard plume]

LETS GOOOOOO!!! begins swinging randomly

[prisma anvil]

they wont, kiddie games and br is where the money is at now apparently

[onyx mica]

wanna add me? origin we can play bf 2042 if you have it sometimes

[tame cobalt]

Infantry-only map inside a space station with views of earth through huge windows would be fire

[fierce gull]

yessssss

[prisma anvil]

you didnt think this one through huh?

[hard plume]

I never do.

[arctic grove]

Truth lol military games are struggling 🤣 you see warzone is turning into fortnite 🤣

[onyx mica]

lol

[earnest verge]

i have it but i cant play it atm :C but u can pm me ur origin tag or whatever its called while waiting for the patch

[prisma anvil]

we aint shutting down bf1..

[tame cobalt]

unfortunately won't happen

[fierce gull]

bullshit imma do it myself

[onyx mica]

i will add you to discord first then yea

[tame cobalt]

[onyx mica]

why can't play it?

[prisma anvil]

pain to see bf go in this route, but ah well, by not buying i've done my part i guess....if it still goes in that direction, i guess people want it to go in that way..

[earnest verge]

to many bugs + no attachments unlocks in portal, i only play hardcore servers

[onyx mica]

welp i only play breakthrough ones

[arctic grove]

I only play hide and seek game mode

[arctic grove]

Lol 🥺😭 been playing battlefield since early 2007 I can tell it's sinking to trends

[earnest verge]

they should give us mapeditor so we can make propper hide and seek like the good old days of halo and similar

[arctic grove]

Trendy games are hero shooter and battle royal

[onyx mica]

trendy!

[hidden sand]

I'd say most people are against the direction 2042 is taking the series in regards to this. Art direction has always been an extremely strong aspect of Battlefield and they barely even tried with this game. Hopefully with future updates that improves.

[prisma anvil]

just let it go

[dapper river]

Well "authentic" and "tactical" military skins (aka, BORING) don't sell, we looked at the data and found that whales I mean customers were more willing to buy "LE WHACKY" cosmetics, despite what 4 or 5 loud crybabies on the internet may say, so we tell our artists to go wild and throw all semblance of an "art direction" out the window :)

[prisma anvil]

lets hope we get like warzone where the map changes during seasons or events kinda thing....maybe..idk tho

[arctic grove]

I can it's like I'll sing the song I can't live without you once it's about to be buried again like medal of honor played that since 2001 now it's gone 🥺😭

I just want to dress my specialist up like a hotdog and shot pixie dust at my enemies

[onyx mica]

i like medal of honor

[fierce gull]

what skin in this game looks sexy

[prisma anvil]

its a game.....atleast you'll have the memories

[earnest verge]

hotdog skin for robo dog, that would be something id pay for

[arctic grove]

Well I guess you right if warzone doing that 😳

[onyx mica]

yea ranger skin

[arctic grove]

@earnest verge I'm a little miffed we can't ride him. There is a seat

[prisma anvil]

i just want some near futuristic to futuristic armoured soldiers in camo

[earnest verge]

next patch, when they release hoverboard specialist

[dapper river]

Uh, Paik, Falk, and Mackay's T4 skins are alright. Dozer's blast proof helmet... and that's about it really. Sundance's T1 and Boris's red and blue skin would be good if the color schemes weren't so shit.

[onyx mica]

hoverboard specialist? man i won't be on the ground

[dapper river]

Oh and that one weekly mission skin for the PP-29

[arctic grove]

Same way how I cope with medal of honor

[earnest verge]

as long as the specialist comes with a back to the future skin im onboard

[fierce gull]

what about T1 casper

[onyx mica]

[dapper river]

I have it, don't really dig the respirator. Would rather he just had the optics.

Oh and no red accents, eww

[prisma anvil]

like, eyo, lim, you mind posting something else for me?..anyone?

[tame cobalt]

Community would rage about it but I'm down for hoverboard specialist

[onyx mica]

yea imma hide somewhere

[dapper river]

[tame cobalt]

Why not?

[arctic grove]

Lol well we are in trendy era I guess have Sundance as batwoman

[warm depot]

this game is a copy from fortnite.

[foggy crest]

🤣

[arctic grove]

Marty McFly

[earnest verge]

as soon as they do this i will stop hating that specialist

[foggy crest]

your picture and that statement 🤣 👍 u are funny

[onyx mica]

u'r a copy! jk

[arctic grove]

Well yeah it's trendy 😉😭

[dapper river]

Has to be at least somewhat grounded in reality. What would the propulsion system be? Magnets? Doesn't work. Jet engine? Ok, how does it stay hovering and where does the fuel go? How would a specialist carry it around with all that weight?

[tame cobalt]

And where does dozer's shield go? Answer: it doesn't matter

[onyx mica]

lol

[dapper river]

It folds up and fits in his prison pocket

[earnest verge]

yeah cause everything else bout this game is super grounded, with mckay spoderman and hovers climbing buildings, id say just go with it at this point

[arctic grove]

So no more dice updates?

It should sound like a Honda civic

[arctic grove]

Boris as Thanos skin

[tame cobalt]

Yeah, ea has moved dice to be a sims 4 support studio now

[karmic void]

Fucking Master Chief as Angel 😩

[fierce gull]

yes pls

[dapper river]

A grapple hook and riot shield are significantly lighter than the systems required for constant propulsion and lift, just sayin

[earnest verge]

i was already promised U w U skin for boris, but Thanos would be pretty darn cool actually

[karmic void]

The only useful in game skin DLC

[fierce gull]

for portal

[tame cobalt]

One word: future

[earnest verge]

i dont agree after that one time a sniper deflected my heli rockets and 360 sniped me out of it

[karmic void]

Imagine Battlefield 2042 item shop would be similar to fortnites 🗿

[prisma anvil]

i mean the grapple hook is pretty similar to the hoverboard actually, cuz both have similar but inverse purposes

[dapper river]

A future where we're still using Abrams and F-35s because the funding for weapons R&D was diverted to trying to feed the country, sure

[prisma anvil]

although yes, constant propulsion is a greater feat than a one off

[karmic void]

A Batman skin for sundance 😩💦

[arctic grove]

I just want a nice salmon colored shirt

[fierce gull]

F-35s might be still useful for the future

[tame cobalt]

We'll get more advanced tech each season, you'll see

[arctic grove]

I'd say batwoman

[earnest verge]

I can totaly see the devs quiet watching discord taking notes right now, and in a few weeks when we get all this we asked for, total riot

[fierce gull]

but it's modified F-35s in this game

[onyx mica]

i heard someone said to me before, he wanted to be a spiderman when he grew up, he realized his dream, i am actually glad for him

[prisma anvil]

eyo @fierce gull ples post something else for me

[fierce gull]

sure

[arctic grove]

🛳️

[dapper river]

Sundance is non-binary. This has nothing to do with the conversation, I'm just stating a fact. Thanks, and have fun

[tame cobalt]

That man's name? Webster Mackay

[arctic grove]

[onyx mica]

how did you know!

[arctic grove]

Jesus

[prisma anvil]

yeet

[tame cobalt]

I was there in the room when he said it to albert einstein. And then everyone clapped

[onyx mica]

haha

[arctic grove]

Put it in a bat suit

[dapper river]

I think they're looking in here and when they see the majority of what people spew in here they go "yeah let's do the opposite of that"

[prisma anvil]

thats the kinda skins i wanna see in 2042

[tame cobalt]

If they're smart they would do this

[prisma anvil]

thanks lim

[fierce gull]

looks sick

[stiff spruce]

what if MSFT buys EA next

[earnest verge]

it would be more funny if they do, and then they release it with the ultimate meme bout how "they dont listen to the community" as a big F to all the bullshit been said in here

[prisma anvil]

thats the thing, they shouldve lead with something like this, and not cowboy mackay, imagine the community reaction to this being a skin

[fierce gull]

👍

[onyx mica]

XD

[boreal jasper]

daily reminder this is the best BF game in terms of graphics, gameplay, gunplay, map design and flow.

[prisma anvil]

[arctic grove]

Lol I see her as woman 😉 I had to ask what a non binary 😂 but I'ma drop this topic

[fierce gull]

pls god no

[prisma anvil]

not this one again.....nope..bad

[onyx mica]

it ryhmes

[dapper river]

Not this time. It's false. We made it up.

[prisma anvil]

stop, you've violated the law

[fierce gull]

Microsoft would probably put cringe xbox exclusive skins for this game

[arctic grove]

I thought Microsoft has a huge share off it

[gusty jasper]

[boreal jasper]

she is a woman

[prisma anvil]

lads, no

[dapper river]

You know I'd like to see competition in the gaming space, it results in better games for everyone. Doesn't happen when one company starts buying up all the others... hmmm I think there's a word for that in the English language.....

[radiant echo]

Let's stop it here

[arctic grove]

i have a question

[fierce gull]

no

[dapper river]

no

[arctic grove]

I have an answer

how is sundance non-binary when she is made of binary 1s and 0s

[arctic grove]

Go

[prisma anvil]

no

[arctic grove]

bruh

Oh snap she's a video game character

[radiant echo]

https://tenor.com/view/hmm-suspect-gif-22611582

[boreal jasper]

you're triggering sergo, better stop

[arctic grove]

some mod about to mute me for that i already know

[iron blade]

Damn ur still at it

[arctic grove]

[prisma anvil]

sergs, deep breaths..whhhooosaaaahhhh

[arctic grove]

ueupdsyldjlgjflhdulgogoufoyzo

[earnest verge]

Woooosaaaah lmaaao

[arctic grove]

rip bozo

[iron blade]

Woooooooaaaaaaaaaa...coug couth cough cough.....wooooooshhhhhh

[prisma anvil]

i think we calmed sergs

[iron blade]

Sergs ded

[prisma anvil]

probably

[iron blade]

[fierce gull]

I wonder what's gonna be the next weekly challenge

[iron blade]

Kolibri hopefully

[prisma anvil]

no

[iron blade]

Yes

[prisma anvil]

it'll probably be a skin, with three do x task for y number of times kinda thing

[fierce gull]

What if we get a cool skin

[prisma anvil]

probably another arctic camo for a different gun

[iron blade]

Impossible

[fierce gull]

they said they would be bringing out harder weekly challenges so maybe they might be good

[earnest verge]

next weekly skin = vehicle skin, u heard it here first

[prisma anvil]

i mean, given the guy on twitter just asked like a few weeks ago about what we'd like to see as weekly challenges, probably not

[onyx mica]

bolte plz

[iron blade]

Ive been stalking and annoying the devs in this server for so long, they would have to eventually add the kolibri someday

[stiff spruce]

did yall get the Magician skin yet?

[prisma anvil]

i dont think we're getting proper good content and missions for that content till we're right on the cusp of season 1

[fierce gull]

better be a cool one

[earnest verge]

god damnit now i want darthvader esk skin for doozer

[prisma anvil]

i want that skull and crossbones looking skin for dozer man..

[iron blade]

I want an altyn helmet skin

[stiff spruce]

are they gonna do Anime skins like COD?

[earnest verge]

yes

[fierce gull]

no

[earnest verge]

yes*

[prisma anvil]

pretty sure even theyre confused with what they wanna do with 2042 rn

[iron blade]

Mfw im in a yt comment section argument. This guy thinks that since he only played the betas, he thinks that bf1 and bfv are no different from what they are currently, even after a year of content drop and polish

[haughty dagger]

No one’s confused. Just because some guy says he thinks they are doesn’t mean they are.

[prisma anvil]

i mean he has a point...

[arctic grove]

no

[iron blade]

Perhaps

[haughty dagger]

A point being he doesn’t know anything and is speculating?

[earnest verge]

he should know apes strong together, and alot of ppl want anime skins

[prisma anvil]

yes....exactly like us

[arctic grove]

i really don't fucking want anime skins in a battlefield game

[fierce gull]

sorry m8 but we gotta make money somehow

like it or not but there will be anime

[earnest verge]

u say that now, but when the sailormoon skin for falk comes out, u gonna change ur mind real quick

[prisma anvil]

even without what tom said, i'd still think that theyre in a big grey area as to what direction to take with 2042

[fierce gull]

He change his mind when there is a catgirl skin

[earnest verge]

Boris exclusive i was told, not for everyones taste

[haughty dagger]

They’re going to continue with the specialists since they sold their battle pass that said you get access to them.

[hidden sand]

With the backlash and distaste towards this game and it's design choices I would be surprised if they weren't trying to figure out what to do now. This game has without a doubt underperformed, so.

[gloomy rune]

Any news news about the game?

[prisma anvil]

i mean its either one or the other...either gritty shooter or total meme, dont go a weak middle route, do whatever you wanna do confidently....

[fierce gull]

A dev told us to look out for an update this week

[dense terrace]

new fortnite skin?

[prisma anvil]

i'm not on about the specialists..on about the tone of the game...

[earnest verge]

exactly how i feel

[haughty dagger]

At most they are planning what is feasible to be fixed and then deciding what comes first. Separate from the season pass. That’s likely what is happening. They’re still going to move forward with the seasons just we don’t know what time frame when season 1 starts

[haughty dagger]

That was on portal exp I believe. Hopefully we get more than that.

[fierce gull]

yeah

[hidden sand]

They could still add the 4 specialist while changing how they work. The best outcome imo, would be to make them cosmetic only and return to classes with gadgets locked to them. Weapons being free for all doesn't bother me.

[prisma anvil]

and a grittier voicepack and animation set

[earnest verge]

free main weapons = good, free gadgets (rockets) = bad

[fierce gull]

but i need rocket while being medic

without the rocket im useless

[stiff spruce]

guys im making chicken drumsticks in my air fryer rn

[earnest verge]

i dont mind that as much as sniper with ammocrate / rockets

[haughty dagger]

The easiest thing to do is just remove starting voice lines and end or round ones. Then develop static imagines or even add not so cringy lines.

[arctic grove]

Did anyone here just saw the new announcement news from Xbox and Microsoft themselves they had purchased Activision Blizzard.

[stiff spruce]

[dense terrace]

will be a year for that merger to finish

[prisma anvil]

i means lets think, we have mckay and paik as assault, dozer and irish as support, angel and falck as medic, casper and sundance as recon ( i've given sundance to recon to balance it against assault)....that could work right?

[stiff spruce]

they should buy EA & Dice next

[fierce gull]

sony should buy EA

[prisma anvil]

who am i missing?

[dense terrace]

wdym embark. sundance as batman.

[prisma anvil]

i'm missing boris and someone else

[fierce gull]

Rao

[haughty dagger]

Why would you swap the 2. The current system is fine where they’re at.

[earnest verge]

engineer ofc

[arctic grove]

it still saddens me on how horribly managed this project was

[dense terrace]

there are few operators and few super hero figures

[prisma anvil]

yeah engineer for boris and rao

[earnest verge]

sounds good to me

[prisma anvil]

not swapping, mixing, keeping a bit of both

[haughty dagger]

Engineering is about defense now. Wouldn’t make any sense to move the current engineer specialists out of that

[earnest verge]

the main purpose is to move gadgets to being restricted

[prisma anvil]

hmmm......boris is something to think about tho, the turret doesnt really have any engineer qualities does it?

rao is a vehcile hack..so he's easy

[haughty dagger]

When it comes to defense. Literally the most annoying thing there is when zoning an area

[fierce gull]

What about Recker

[earnest verge]

if them both are the only ones with repair tool it does

[earnest verge]

who? not even joking

[fierce gull]

bruh

imma look at twitter to see if any other devs said anything

[prisma anvil]

hmmmm....so 1 locked gadet to each class is what youre saying....hmmm.....

[earnest verge]

yeah 1 locked 1 free, sounds good on top of my head

[prisma anvil]

so assault gets at and aa, medic gets the heal crate, support gets ammo crate, scout gets c5 and proxies, engineer gets rep tool and at mines...

hmmm.....could have an alternative for medic and support

[arctic grove]

Yo wtf Microsoft just bought activation blizzard

[earnest verge]

no way

[haughty dagger]

You don’t need to separate medics and support. They’re effectively both support classes. You can limit the medic box and ammo crate to them

[arctic grove]

Yes for 70 billion

[haughty dagger]

Nah man that’s way too much. Doubt it

[arctic grove]

Go look it up

[earnest verge]

ive not heard this before but i heard it was about 60 billion and they payed just the right ammount for value

[prisma anvil]

hmmm.....just trying to do a 2 man class system and see if it fits.......also nah, medics and supports are differentiable with this system

[arctic grove]

Microsoft (ticker: MSFT ) will acquire Activision Blizzard ( ATVI ) for $95 a share in an all-cash transaction valued at $68.7 billion, including Activision Blizzard's net cash. The acquisition is Microsoft's largest transaction ever.3

3 hours ago

[haughty dagger]

That’s more than I make in a year. No way it happened

[earnest verge]

i mean this in a kind way, u need to uppdate where u get ur ticker reports cause they late bro

[arctic grove]

Microsoft won’t make any money

[arctic grove]

finally I can play wow on the Xbox series x

[arctic grove]

Bruh Microsoft are so dumb 😂

[prisma anvil]

they got my boy arcane man...

[arctic grove]

I bet they will buy Ubisoft

[fierce gull]

there is nothing surprising going on for battlefield on twitter
only this

[prisma anvil]

nani the fuck?

[dense terrace]

tunak tunak

[earnest verge]

tuktuk with mountable machine gun, finnaly, i actually want this

[prisma anvil]

ummmmm......huh, thats kinda sus ngl

[hidden sand]

Lol imagine withholding this content from the game when it's finished. It's fully modelled in the artbook, too.

[slow herald]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tRaT0IJckw

[earnest verge]

that is how battlepasses works

[fierce gull]

it suppose to be this i guess

[earnest verge]

man thats sick

[slow herald]

wtf everything keeps evolving into crabs

[prisma anvil]

huh, that makes more sense

[hidden sand]

This game is so dry on content, how they think intentionally withholding content is a good idea is genuinely beyond me. I would love to know why DICE cannot learn inbetween games. This should have been one of the first lessons they were taught with BFV.

[fierce gull]

I don't think that pic is fake because I remember getting a bug where it showed bf3 characters in my character selection during beta lmao

[stiff spruce]

EA and Dice are holding out for a bigger company to buy them out all along

[hard plume]

Tf? Wheres that at?

[hidden sand]

It's not. It's in the official artbook too, fully modelled.

[fierce gull]

I don't like that one I prefer the one above

[prisma anvil]

@earnest verge i've got the med pen, armor and insertion beacon left for gadget assignment....

[earnest verge]

sell half game full price now, sell half game half price later, its gr8 for their bottom line, every gaming company does this now

[jovial quest]

Xbox taking over

[prisma anvil]

so far support and medic has only 1 gadet to choose from

[earnest verge]

pen and armor assault, insertion beacon can be scraped its a stupid mechanic and ive always hated it

[prisma anvil]

hmmm.......not a bad plan actually, take one type of anti vehicle away from assult but give em heals

[hidden sand]

Good to see this ridiculous formula backfire so badly on them. They had BFV to learn this from, but DICE will be DICE.

[arctic grove]

xbox sucks 😭 😭

[jovial quest]

Oki I appreciate your opinion that I didn’t ask for

[arctic grove]

😭 xbox's version of getting better is stealing everyones games 😭 😭

[lime gazelle]

You mean EA will be EA right?

[prisma anvil]

give that av to support then....i'd rather keep the beacon and scrap the armor...hell, you know what medic gets that insertion beacon

[earnest verge]

i could see this work, but the pen could also go to medic and remove the "heal gun" and make pen usable on m8s, just as medpack vs medcrate used to be

[mortal prism]

No platform bashing please.

[jovial quest]

Cope

[hazy otter]

You got the tears I see

[hidden sand]

EA is the publisher, the leads at DICE are the ones behind decisions like this.

[earnest verge]

i could see this work, but the pen could also go to medic and remove the "heal gun" and make pen usable on m8s, just as medpack vs medcrate used to be

[arctic grove]

cry 😭

[jovial quest]

[hard plume]

Not even stadia?

[jovial quest]

How does that make sense

[arctic grove]

sniff

[arctic grove]

Microsoft can buy EA if it wanted

[glossy storm]

Man, BF4 maps aren't great for Rush...

[arctic grove]

xbox is great though no cap, they just need better games and their version of getting that is buying companies to make games for them 😭

[lime gazelle]

EA is the parent company, (like take 2) so they make deadlines and ultimate decisions.

[jovial quest]

Lol

[arctic grove]

stadia sucks lol

[prisma anvil]

yeah but then falck loses her thing as the med pen is basically a nerfed syrette...i'm trying to look for things that entails as little change to current systems as possible

[glossy storm]

How is Stadia still in talks?

[arctic grove]

no idea

[brittle forge]

I don’t think Stadia is even considered a platform by google themselves anymore

[arctic grove]

I thought it got discontinued

[earnest verge]

make it throwable

[hidden sand]

They make deadlines but they've stated many times, and there have been plenty of instances to show they don't interfere with development. They just want it done by the deadline.

[arctic grove]

anybody heard of the apple pippin
wtf was that garbage console

[hard plume]

I think technically it’s still alive

[brittle forge]

It didn’t but all the first party studios for it got disbanded

[arctic grove]

Oh

[brittle forge]

So it’s just ports now

[earnest verge]

@prisma anvil or change the pen to a steriode that gives temp bonus hp

[arctic grove]

Stadia had hype but I knew streaming games is horrible with bad wifi

[lime gazelle]

If the devs had control we wouldn't be playing the game yet and that's facts. EA promised (lied to) investors a release date, and made the devs comply to their demands.

[rapid moon]

Are we talking abt the epipen?

[hard plume]

It’s just too early for it right now.

[fierce gull]

I remember when people said that stadia would beat xbox and ps

[hidden sand]

People blame EA for studios using frostbite when they never forced them too. People blame EA for Anthem when no, that wasn't on them. In fact, one of the executives actually suggested one of anthems best features, flying.

DICE are the developers, the leads there are behind major decisions like how content will be released.

[earnest verge]

yes, if all gadgets was reassigned to a class system together with the specialists

[iron blade]

Did they drop support of anthem?

I didnt follow all that news

[fierce gull]

i remember wanting to buy anthem but i forgot about it under a week lol

[rapid moon]

I think that one should be available to all classes imo

[earnest verge]

actually scrap bonus hp on pen, give temp infinite sprint and bring back stamina bar for everyone

[rapid moon]

Jk right?

[earnest verge]

yeah our best idea so far is 1 gadget locked 1 gadget free, pen for all makes sense

[brittle forge]

Anthem was definitely Bioware predominately but EA did actually mandate Frostbite for most of their studios

[hidden sand]

DICE has leads. DICE isn't just developers, there are people who manage and decide on major decisions there. Did EA design the bad maps? Did EA make the vehicles as bad as they are? No, these are things that come back to how things are managed and executed at DICE. Weird to blame EA for everything when even Toms only criticism towards them in his video was that they needed more time.

[earnest verge]

no jk, i always hated infinite sprint since they introduced it

[hidden sand]

No they didn't. Those were choices made by the studios themselves.

[prisma anvil]

i mean we get rid of armour, and we've a pretty good class setup then....we already have it...mackay and paik in assault, locked gadget: at rocket launcher or med pen.... medic: falck and angel locked gadget: the med crate or insertion beacon...support: irish and dozer locked gadget; the aa launcher or ammo crate.....engineer: rao and boris locked gadget: the rep tool or at mines and finally recon: sundance and casper locked gadget: the soflam or c5... .....and free weapon selection....

[rapid moon]

A stamina bar would be so horrible imo

[earnest verge]

boom, solved

[iron blade]

How classes should work now

•Have universal and restricted weapon types, like the ones in bf4

•Have class traits from bfv that give the class the specialist abilities that are best suited for that class (ex assualt gets grapple hook and wingsuit)

•Add more specializations like the ones from bf1 that give your soldier a slight boost like in running or smth

[brittle forge]

As long as sprint has actual weight to it having infinite sprint especially on BF maps is only a good thing

[iron blade]

And the specialists skins would work like elites in bfv

[lime gazelle]

Okay I'm not going to argue about it, point is the game is bad in its current state, and needs alot added to bring back that Battlefield feel.

[rapid moon]

I like 95% agree with this

[hard plume]

No

[earnest verge]

it worked just fine in bf2, infinite stamina is silly to me, but i totaly see why people prefer it

[prisma anvil]

medic doesnt get any at, but has the spawn beacon...

[iron blade]

Ok

[prisma anvil]

anti air is locked to two classes....so is anti tank...

[iron blade]

If they are gonna do armor, make it work like in ww3, it reinforces the torse and helmet, but arms, legs, and face are still vulnerable, thus having to put more well placed shots to take am enemy down quicker

[dense terrace]

u have to have infinite stamina in this game lmao

[iron blade]

All bf games have had infinite stamina tho

[dense terrace]

eee wat?

[fierce gull]

we can run forever in any bf game lol

[dense terrace]

bf2 had stamina hellos

[fierce gull]

we can walk forever

[earnest verge]

remove spawn beacon, introduce smoke beacon painty laser thingy or wahtever, i really hate spawn beacons its just as annoying as the wingsuit allowing ppl to pop in in a way that promotes bad gameplay to me

[iron blade]

Ywah, but bf3, BF4, bfh, bf1, and bfv have had infinite stamina

[fierce gull]

we can do squats with a gun on our hands forever

[prisma anvil]

yeah, but still, for the time being i'd rather they remove armour and experiment with a setup like this, cuz we nearly have it, i aint saying that my version is the best...but its pretty much there too.....personally armour doesnt have a place in any game that isnt a br

[dense terrace]

top1 bf of all time had stamina

[earnest verge]

yeah i know, but i prefer the bf2 system anyday, same with the bf2 grappling hook over the spoder gun

[prisma anvil]

zh but you see, that is specifically why i have given the spawn beacon to the mdics, its gonna be harder for them to be able to sneak around and place a good beacon, they wont be able to do the exploits with the beacons that you can do with mackay or sundance either

[dense terrace]

bf2 grapple was next gen tech 😄

[earnest verge]

fair enough actually

[dense terrace]

it was also gated to dlc maps if i remember correctly

[earnest verge]

yeah it was, but it was a sick as dlc 😄

[hidden sand]

The wingsuit as a whole doesn't fit within the gameplay of BF imo. It's ridiculous at just how broken it is. Tanking lately has been next to impossible because countering a c4 Sundance above you is impossible. Same with C4 drones.

[earnest verge]

u also had the awesome crossbow to shoot lines between buildings, that was sick

[earnest verge]

100% agree, the batman dropping c5 is the most annoying gamebraking bad gameplay promoting shit ive seen ever, i really disslike it even tho its both cool and kinda fun to use the wingsuit itself

[hidden sand]

Yeah the wingsuit is loads of fun. Just doesn't fit BF at all.

[rapid moon]

Sadly i can agree with that and i say sadly cuz its so much fucking fun i love it

[prisma anvil]

it wont get removed, its too much fun

[rapid moon]

As someone who basically only uses her im happy abt that

[earnest verge]

add cooldown, increase height requirement, remove abillity to cancel mid air and shoot (use = commit) would go a long way for me

[hidden sand]

Which is why I will be sticking to past BF titles while leaving my hope for this game on the backburner. Tired of DICEs inability to learn from past experiences and progress with each game.

[plucky plaza]

I agree with removing the ability to cancel mid air

[tame cobalt]

2 slots makes no sense the first gadget is the specialist

[prisma anvil]

hmmmm...

[foggy crest]

wanna play advanced warfare with me

[floral aspen]

Y'all, Tom Henderson said a short while ago that the next Battlefield will be a HERO shooter! An ENHANCEMENT of the specialists!! WHAT THE HELL DICE

[prisma anvil]

have it to 1 gadget then...

[foggy crest]

download s1x mod and lets play call of duty advanced warfare tomorrow

[rapid moon]

Yeah that seems fair

[prisma anvil]

what gadgets did i miss in that list....other than armor...regular gadgets, not the specialist gadgets i mean

[rapid moon]

I think you got all of them

[earnest verge]

soflam

[prisma anvil]

so flam...yeah

[earnest verge]

recon gadget

[prisma anvil]

allright, take away prox from recon and give soflam

let prox just be a grenade like usual

[earnest verge]

in portal u can re-throw ur proxy, i really wanna play some portal right now, please patch xp soon tm

[prisma anvil]

there @tame cobalt how's that?...anything else that sticks out?

i'm actually gonna write that down, see if i can ask the devs when theyre here about their opinions on that setup

[arctic grove]

I

[tame cobalt]

sussy pfp

[tame cobalt]

imo they should buff prox and make it a gadget, but maybe they dont want people to be on the minimap 24/7

[prisma anvil]

check that list again if you want and see if i missed anything there

[still vault]

Step 1. Don't believe in leaks. They might not be true.
Step 2. Don't get mad in advance.
Step 3. Win the Internet.

[tame cobalt]

I actually made a list like this too a while ago

[tame cobalt]

where final list

[prisma anvil]

same one,

just changed it there...the only thing i'm asking to be removed for this is armour....i dont think i missed any other gadgets, i think, could be wrong tho

[tame cobalt]

Just be careful not to trigger the spam filter with too many words

Assault (Mackay, dozer, sundance): Attack - Flank - Destroy
Recoilless m5
AA missile
C5
Med pen?
Armor plates?

Engineer (Irish, Boris): Defend - Fortify - Improvise
Repair tool
C5
Anti tank mine

Recon (Rao, Paik, Casper): Observe - Infiltrate - Eliminate
Soflam
Respawn beacon
C5?

Support (Falck, Angel): Supply - Maintain - Revive
Ammo crate
Med crate
Repair tool

[haughty dagger]

Wouldn’t the spawn beacon be better suited for assault? Especially if you’re trying to flank

[prisma anvil]

hmm...i'm specifically removing either sundance or mackay and placing them in different classes, any class with both of them together would just become imblanaced

[tame cobalt]

It's typically a recon gadget in every game, and imo fits the infiltrate keyword

[tame cobalt]

Y doe

[haughty dagger]

And it fits flanking as well

[prisma anvil]

also making it so that anti vehicle is staggered between classes.....my thing was, assult gets recoiless, support gets aa, engineer gets at mines and recon gets c5, medic doesnt get anti vehicle but has insertion beacon to comensate

[tame cobalt]

true ig

[prisma anvil]

theyre two of the best mobility based killing machines

[tame cobalt]

You can only use one at the same time doe

[haughty dagger]

My gameplay style is just running MacKay with spawn beacon. Although I could see not allowing them to use spawn beacon though

[prisma anvil]

agreed, this is just from an overall class balance perspective....

[arctic grove]

lore of 2042 is just stupid

[tame cobalt]

Shit take

[fierce gull]

Idk climate change and great depression seems cool

[arctic grove]

is the us government that stupid enough they share national security details to people who have allegiance to no nation

[fierce gull]

You would be surprised

[haughty dagger]

They haven’t shared any details what do you mean

[prisma anvil]

its kinda like assualt having both recoiless and aa, sure you can only use one, but due to the choice availabilty the pick rate of that class goes up significantly

[haughty dagger]

They literally say there’s a reason but we can say on discarded why Russia is attacking

[arctic grove]

well no pats are used as soldiers and told to engage Russian forces for whatever reason

the whole briefing stuff Is sharing military information to a bunch of mercenaries

[fierce gull]

This is perfect
We can have a no pat Recker as a specialist in this game

He is out of the military but still trusted

[shell glacier]

I'd prefer a battlefield character that actually has a character in this case

[fierce gull]

Id prefer a badass character that worked with Irish

[haughty dagger]

Well yeah all that stuff isn’t critical info lol. That’s how proxy wars are handled

[shell glacier]

Unless they go through the effort of giving Recker character

[fierce gull]

Imagine he speaks

[prisma anvil]

i'd rather they not make recker a walking talking meme machine

[sonic stag]

please change breakthrough on breakaway, make attacking forces start on highpoint of E with a base immediately below that they are trying to attack.

[arctic grove]

I mean if the us govt and Russian govt give soo much military equipment to these no pats
won't these no pats turn on their masters

[shell glacier]

Because other than the campaign stuff he does mostly out of obligation he doesn't have much of a character or personality

[wide violet]

i miss classes

[fierce gull]

What if they give him a serious tone

[arctic grove]

miss classes too

[prisma anvil]

yeah then sure..

[shell glacier]

Why couldn't have they just done specialist abilities instead of completely dumping the whole class system 🥲

[arctic grove]

now the game feels like 128 player cod

no squad coordination
no voice chat like seriously
Bf used to be a team based game

[shell glacier]

If the maps were actually dynamic I think that would make the game feel better

It got even worse from the beta, the tornado can't even toss around shipping crates like it could before

[stiff spruce]

where

[arctic grove]

I can't even talk to my squad mates
there's so many games
where no one does their job properly
no medics
no assault players

[haughty dagger]

VOIP is scheduled to come in the game. When we don’t know.

[fierce gull]

Talk in chat ez done ez solution

[shell glacier]

I doubt they even have a "next Battlefield game" planned

[arctic grove]

it's a basic thing that's there in every online shooter in the whole world

[haughty dagger]

No medics? Lol are you high. Also no assault players? Have you seen the pick rate of MacKay and Sundance?

[shell glacier]

The series doesn't print money like COD so EA is probably gonna drop it especially after this latest installment

[fierce gull]

There are so many medics in breakthrough

[arctic grove]

I have 30 plus hours on the game
rarely have I seen medics revive people

[fierce gull]

Plus the game giving out weekly challenges that make you do revives

[haughty dagger]

I agree it should have been in the game on release. It’s out now so there’s no changing it or going back in time.

[arctic grove]

I just feel EA stole money from me with this game

[haughty dagger]

Literally on the new weekly missions 80-90% of the games were Maria/Angel just reviving spam.

[shell glacier]

They did

[shell glacier]

The advertising promised a good game and they didn't deliver

[fierce gull]

Should have learned your lessons years ago not to buy games at launch from EA and Dice 🧐

[shell glacier]

Remember all the talk of "Next-Gen destruction?"

[arctic grove]

128 players
just totally tanks the frame rates on PC

[haughty dagger]

The game was made for last gen consoles lol.

[shell glacier]

Normally with these battlefield games, there's a good game buried under the shit

With 2042, there is no good game under all the shit

[fierce gull]

[arctic grove]

like I'm getting better frame rates on 64 player breakthrough than 128 player breakthrough for some reason
maybe cos my PC is shit IDK

[shell glacier]

Battlefield V had better destruction on last-gen consoles, it's not an excuse

[shell glacier]

I mean, when there's less things to process of course it's gonna run better

I don't know about the state of the game on PC but I've heard it has some "unique" optimization

[arctic grove]

where's the destruction
on that desert map there's way too many tall buildings can't blow one of them to collapse

in bf4
u could literally blow up skyscrapers

[fierce gull]

What about spaceship

[shell glacier]

They could've made one building fall atleast

[fierce gull]

Bf4 only had one skyscraper falling

[shell glacier]

Atleast it could actually fall in that case

[arctic grove]

should have thought of that
before releasing the game
people seem to be divided on, 64 or 128
I don't mind 128 it's just
I get Better performance on 64

[shell glacier]

They could've done so much cool shit with the natural disasters that they just didn't do

[fierce gull]

Maybe we will get future maps with falling skyscrapers but we only got

[shell glacier]

The tornado is only cool when it runs through the central objectives

[arctic grove]

natural disaster changing the terrain would be nice but whatever

tornado just demolishes the skyscrapers at kaleidoscope

[shell glacier]

Is this the beta?

[arctic grove]

or can't move vehicles freely inside the sandstorm
more realistic

[shell glacier]

I swear I haven't seen the rocket launch once in the full game

[fierce gull]

What

[arctic grove]

Am I the only one being disappointed with the lack of communication coming back from the Holidays?

[shell glacier]

I've only ever seen it happen during the end of game squad screen

[arctic grove]

I feel like I'm ripped of with this game

[fierce gull]

You play conquest?

[arctic grove]

those are brutal expectations bro

[shell glacier]

Yes

[glossy storm]

It does? I thought there was no skyscraper-related levolution in Kaleidoscope.

[fierce gull]

I noticed the exploding spaceship more in breakthrough

[arctic grove]

So I have too high of expectations?

[arctic grove]

no it dosent

[shell glacier]

By "demolishes" they mean "knocks the windows off in the distance"

[pure basin]

It breaks windows that’s it

[glossy storm]

Oh, that I know.

[shell glacier]

It's something a dev said on Twitter lol

[arctic grove]

Just got back from the Cod discord. I can say without a doubt the battlefield community is 10x more intelligent than the babble going on in there.

[arctic grove]

having expectations itself is not acceptable to EA Devs

[arctic grove]

I see your point.

pay 60 dollars to play a broken game that's what EA wants

[shell glacier]

I paid $70 🥲

[wide violet]

i paid $100

[arctic grove]

I was just going to say: "they do have the expectation of selling that game"...

early access paid 120 dollars

[shell glacier]

Somebody else needs to take DICE's spot in developing large-scale arcade shooters

[arctic grove]

[shell glacier]

I'm convinced Battlefield is dead completely to EA, I cannot see them making a new installment

[arctic grove]

IDK I'm kinda done with Bf
shooters in general

[wide violet]

what they need to do is take Squad and make it less intense and slap it on the ass and give it to the world

[arctic grove]

warzone is just killing cod

[shell glacier]

I've been playing more VR shooters than flat-screen shooters lately

[arctic grove]

Bf is shit
never liked any battle royale game except Pubg

[shell glacier]

And when I do hop on the flat-screen, I'm mostly on to play STEEP or something
