Oh ok. Got it lol

[reef kestrel]

Delete it before mod do.

Thank you, now back to take a nap.

I probably wouldn't be like welcome to the team but you remind me of a teammate of mine. I would suggest maybe you just play more like him though because you sound like him. Not like intelligently playing or anything but just kind of step up the reaction time pace a little bit and keep doing what you're doing. You definitely can fill the most common role as an infantry player but you have to shoot faster not really always about aim because there always is someone that can make that really not matter as much as long as you can do some chip damage, and you'll just win more often anyway. And by faster i mean start shooting when you see any piece of the enemy on the screen you tend to wait until like you clearly see what is going on and that just isn't fast enough. I thought you were trolling by switching between aim assist and non-aim assist, IDK though, just kind of the vibe that I got and not 100% sure if you're sincere about the video.

[reef kestrel]

You go sleep too.

You make a essay that mean youre tired

[elder patrol]

What the hell is that essay? Go to sleep and have a good morning and make sure you take a vitamin

[foggy tundra]

need some sleep bro

and becareful with walls of text

the bot doesnt like walls of text

[dusty siren]

bro go outside

[torpid vortex]

He submitted his battlefield resume and as the king CEO of battlefield which doesn't like have any defacto HR department I levied a response for him.

[elder patrol]

We all do, I'm going rn good night ya'll, also dont shitpost too much lol

[foggy tundra]

excuse me what?

night pie

[reef kestrel]

aight imma take a nap

[torpid vortex]

but on a community level, there isn't a battlefield community it is like mars rubble of what a community really is, so excuse yourself all you want in a community conversation but fact is very few of us, like me, are helping out.

[elder patrol]

have a safe night yall

[foggy tundra]

safety isnt a word for me

[obtuse gust]

Is bf42 going to be free?

[foggy tundra]

there hasnt been any confirmation from EA/DICE

these are just rumors and should be treated as such

[torpid vortex]

what did Criterion say

[obtuse gust]

If it happen then its very bad for such title

[dusty siren]

prolly not full free, just hazard/portal. ea likes money too much

[foggy tundra]

hazard zone was "supposed to be" free but that changed

¯_(ツ)_/¯

man the bf2142 trailer intro is sooooo good

[analog cypress]

?

[foggy tundra]

https://youtu.be/Mk4wEAO07hM

[hidden sand]

BF2142 as a whole is so good

[foggy tundra]

this

its actual gameplay btw, not cg

the music was goddamn good too

[torpid vortex]

Didn't play 2142, just didn't buy into it and i was like 17 lol.

[foggy tundra]

it was amazing

[glossy storm]

I like the Titan concept a lot.

[foggy tundra]

bf2142 was what people wanted at the time, but it was made well

[torpid vortex]

idk chopper wasn't very good, it was alright though I watched the competitive community play some matches but it just wasn't my style and i was too busy.

[foggy tundra]

wasnt*

there werent choppers in 2142

[glossy storm]

I didn't expect to be able to board an enemy Titan and be able to destroy it from within in this game.

[foggy tundra]

also flying controls in 2142 were SOOO FUCKING GOOD

soooo much better than any of the more recent controls for bf aircraft

[torpid vortex]

1942 and BF2 flying was not that bad. 2042 is an improvement I'd say, but they haven't outfitted the air vehicles with enough outfit.

[hidden sand]

The 2042 flight physics are just awful in my opinion. Especially jets. But helicopters are so dumbed down, and easy to use, there's no skill ceiling with it. They're also much less maneuverable than BF4. One of the things that disappoints me most with the game, honestly.

Vehicles in general are the worst they've been imo. Really unfortunate.

[foggy tundra]

2142s flying is alot better than 2042

[torpid vortex]

I run the chopper like it's a bf2 chopper, I keep the handling pretty slugish, however it can gain altitude a lot faster than before. BC2 chopper was a whole lot of cradle and fire missile. And it's basically the same thing in 2042 but there are more ground based AA threat so you can't just run the map from a single spot.

BF3 BF4 a lot of the same, didn't really get to use the chopper very much in a competitive setting though in those games, due to the map and design of those games being as sub-par as it was. 2042 is a huge improvement in that respect.

[slate meadow]

F unguys man Francis nnganue proved tonight that he is a champ for a reason all you sleeping on his wrestling skills just beat the "best moving" heavy weight with his ground skills

[torpid vortex]

i don't think it matters, i put big guys in their bunks and they just will look at my teeth, if i got to that weight i'd really be like at a 60lbs advantage physically and i wouldn't even need the weight to win.

anyone in the ring on the physical route has no chance against someone like me who can easily go that path and the issue is i've outcompeted the best pools of players in the competitive atmosphere. And won by large margin, if it was a power rating for it I'd be unmatched for years and no one is going to match me ever again at battlefield unless it's actually played again.

[arctic grove]

lol

[rose osprey]

imagine if they make it free to play. it's like a big F U to those who paid full price

[foggy tundra]

what... is going on?

[arctic grove]

what’s up with this free to play thing I’ve been hearing lately? who started that

[foggy tundra]

who else but the mythical tom henderson

[arctic grove]

oh great

[foggy tundra]

ikr

[torpid vortex]

what did criterion say about it?

[foggy tundra]

what does criterion have to do with ti?

[torpid vortex]

that's what we want to know, we want to hear from criterion.

[azure jay]

[foggy tundra]

?

uh huh

[versed python]

I too believe the flight controls need to be either re-worked or a physics model akin to the BF4 control set be added as an opt-in, because I used to fly helos like an ace and now I can’t do anything, but invert myself on normal flight… 🤦‍♂️

[tame cobalt]

https://i.redd.it/33j7hu3yv9d81.jpg

[wise zodiac]

What does Criterion have to do with a game they didn't develop?

[copper fulcrum]

You turned off Assisted Flight Controls?

[versed python]

I’ve tried everything under the sun. Ended up even reverting to a sidebar Elite 2 controller to compensate, which helps a bit, but not by much.

[copper fulcrum]

Flying feels pretty simplified in my experience

[versed python]

It’s too ‘simple’.

There is no granularity.

[desert elbow]

I could say the same about BF4's, both are extremely simple but just featured differently

[versed python]

BF4 had control feedback that BF2042 does not.

[copper fulcrum]

I'm not exactly a pilot in either game, most I do is be a transport pilot flying between objectives

[versed python]

Just one of like three irks with the game for me, otherwise good. Just miss hotdogging around in helos. That was my thing.

[versed python]

I loved doing infils for the team, low, fast, high banking arch, and surgical touchdown.

[desert elbow]

I agree with that, so satisfying

[versed python]

Good helo pilots can really help turn a battle on its ear when you’re helping to route/flank with forces.

[copper fulcrum]

Just gotta equip the 50mm cannons on this bitch and it deletes tanks and infantry

40mm need a bit more range imo, they dive down way too quick

It feels like there's not much of a reason to get the 40mm other than the rapid fire rate difference but with it's shit range, it's not worth it imo

[versed python]

I gotta step out and get some late night food

Y’all have fun

[desert elbow]

Laters

[foggy tundra]

cya hydra

[copper fulcrum]

He's getting McDs

He better get chicken nuggets with it

[torpid vortex]

Did some research, I think it's probably Ripple Effect and not Criterion that is the issue. RE did BFV, BF1, BFHardLine, BF4... that's a complete failure of a catalog as far as gameplay. And UK based sounds a lot better than LA, I'm glad Activision won't be profiteering like RE anymore the clown effect is too much to ignore.

[copper fulcrum]

RE mostly did post-launch content for BFV and BF1

Hardline was also Criterion and Visceral, you should redo your research there bud

[torpid vortex]

I can see why they were called up to do hardline they do need for speed. I'm sure they didn't like think it was a good idea though.

[copper fulcrum]

Criterion is pretty much a support studio first and foremost now as they don't really seem to have serious dead lines on their racing games

[fringe halo]

does anyone know why i start battlefield 2042 from ea desktop it will just black screen and stuck at black screen

[torpid vortex]

Visceral is like a bad clan tag, and Ripple Effect call of duty, the wave didn't like work out ... and gimmicks just are not enough to try and market share control. It's too much failure.

[copper fulcrum]

Visceral is dead

They made the dead space games, man

[graceful hatch]

Probably because the games in rough shape tbh

[foggy tundra]

criterion had some work with 2042

but like...

they no longer work on 2042

[fringe halo]

it worked before, and i download a update is just stoped working

[copper fulcrum]

TIL Visceral made some games I really enjoyed on the PS1 but that's for another chat

[foggy tundra]

visceral revolutionized space horror bymaking resident evil 2 in space

glens words

[graceful hatch]

Yeah that would imply that the games in rough shape lol

[fringe halo]

is anyone else having the same problem

[foggy tundra]

dead space is just resident evil 2 in space guys

[foggy tundra]

have you tried reinstalling it?

[fringe halo]

havent

[foggy tundra]

if that doesnt work then

[fringe halo]

is like 100gb

[graceful hatch]

Lol just casually redownload 200G or whatever it’s up to now

[foggy tundra]

lmao is it 100gb rn?

[fringe halo]

i had it on xgp, and i upgrade my ea play to ea play pro

[graceful hatch]

At least we know it’s not going to get any bigger anytime soon 😏😂

[foggy tundra]

best bet is to try relaunching it several times, if that doesnt work, you may have to reinstall

[foggy tundra]

still smaller than warzone

nearly 300 gb for a game like bruh

[graceful hatch]

Missed the point of what I said but 🤷‍♂️

[copper fulcrum]

Isn't Warzone too big for some standard console memory sizes?

[foggy tundra]

ye

[graceful hatch]

I doubt it, smallest console memory is 500gb, it’s just too big for u to have much else on there is all (which I expect is half the point tbh)

[copper fulcrum]

Imagine getting a console for just one game and it's literally too big to download

[foggy tundra]

like why would you make a game 250 gb?

[fringe halo]

i uninstalled it, hope it work

[foggy tundra]

hopefully it does

[dusky blade]

They just don’t optimise it lol

[foggy tundra]

if not then try the supports links the bot posted

[foggy tundra]

ew

[dusky blade]

In Cold War some people saw remnants of advanced warfare’s jetpack bar, that was in the game

So it’s just an amalgamation of every games assets, mishy mushy bits of code, and stuff

[foggy tundra]

they really do take reskins to the next level in cod huh?

[dusky blade]

The new games still have the camera dip when you jump even though jump penalties don’t exist anymore

The same camera dip thats been in cod since the beginning

So yeah, true reskins

[foggy tundra]

so it being reskin isnt even a joke

goddamn

[copper fulcrum]

Speaking of skin, I hope we get more in 2042

Not much variety in looks in the people I kill >:D

[foggy tundra]

i got 2 beautiful sundance kills

the flying squirrel does not scare me

sundance roll flipped in front of, i, with my trusty drx 1 and ap rounds took the 10x scope and domed her 5 meters away

[graceful hatch]

There won’t be when there’s 3 operators that are way better than all the others and they took out the national uniforms lol

[foggy tundra]

as she shot me with the k30

and i headshotted her right as she jumped out a heli

was based af

[royal sinew]

any performance tips for pc

[copper fulcrum]

I see some Mackays that dress up looking like Garand Thumb off of YouTube

[graceful hatch]

Have a lot of money

[ornate prairie]

i swear guys

[royal sinew]

im on r5 3600 and 3070

[ornate prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-22727788

[foggy tundra]

i have a uh

my laptop just works

[graceful hatch]

Get a better PC, only the elitest hardware can run such an Elite and prestigious title such as 2042

[dusky blade]

2042 pushes the boundaries of tech required to run a game

[foggy tundra]

i have next gen laptop, much op, very pog

[graceful hatch]

EA only accepts dual SLI 3090Tis with 3 i10 45000s and a 3Tb hard drive to make sure u can download enough RAM

[dusky blade]

No pog when running 2042 😔

[graceful hatch]

At least it’s not a Mac lol

[royal sinew]

so the games just broken got it

[dusky blade]

But I have other news. I found someone who played cod before it got popular, a developer, and I now feel at peace not being the only one

[foggy tundra]

ew, i like my gear unsoldered

windows for lyfe

[simple gust]

Hard drive? Naw. You need Two M2. NVMe 4 tb PCIe 4.0 running in Raid 0.
Or ideally 4 TB of DDR5 off a RAM disk

[royal sinew]

i played like cod 3 i think

[graceful hatch]

Pretty much, by a lot of accounts it actually performs worse on higher end hardware somehow 🤷‍♂️

[dusky blade]

Are you saying we should all use base macbook airs

Surely that’ll run the game perfectly if the good stuff makes it run worse

[foggy tundra]

apple is the superior gaming laptop here

[graceful hatch]

2042 about to slip under 8k 24h peak on steamcharts, Fs in chat lads

[dusky blade]

It’s reached 5-6K multiple times

[graceful hatch]

Yeah but this is a weekend 24h period, that’s when u know ur in trouble. I imagine the heads of DICE just standing on the bow of a ship playing violins as it sinks lol

[dusky blade]

More like they’re watching the money stored in the hull of the ship begin sinking, and are panicking by blowing up the top of the hull to reach the money, but just causing more harm

Then the developers are just dead

It does suck how this turned out tbh

God damn it I’m just mid match and got bunny hopped around a Corner

[royal sinew]

bro 60 fps on low settings wtf

[lilac storm]

even DLSS is a joke in this game

[lilac storm]

pushes? whats so unique about the game that makes it push hardware minus player count.

[desert elbow]

The player count is the main factor lol, you can’t just say minus it

[dusky blade]

I’m kidding

It’s the fact that the game doesn’t run amazing when using the best tech

Sometimes it runs better with worse specs

[lilac storm]

Have you played the 64 player versions? its the same just a bit improvement in fps the tech and animations are subpar to BFV which runs flawlessly. No destruction static stuff

[desert elbow]

Animations hardly effect FPS, either way they were taken from Battlefront

[lilac storm]

animations is cpu heavy

[dusky blade]

What was taken From battlefront?

[desert elbow]

Bf1’s and BF5’s third person animations

[dusky blade]

I played that game ever day for 3.5 years, the animations don’t look similar to me

[desert elbow]

The LMGs are the most noticeable

They are both fired from under the armpits, which looks really sick

They probably stopped using them since they wouldn’t fit much with the modern setting

[dusky blade]

Isn’t battlefronts animations from their right side hip for lmgs’s

[desert elbow]

Yeah that’s right

[dusky blade]

It’s super super far down

[desert elbow]

I’ll get you a video

[dusky blade]

I’d appreciate that

Ooh I’ve been checking myself by looking at my shadow

It does look pretty similar

Still not overly conclusive though

[left grove]

Still glitchie as after the update - disappointed

[arctic grove]

animations are neither cpu or gpu heavy

if animations were cpu heavy then explain my sky high fps on bfv

[blazing stone]

anyone else experiencing the ADS bug after hoping out a vehicle?

[gusty nimbus]

wtf just got out of a game. invisible vehicles, weapons just running around

[rugged citrus]

also apple: doesnt even support bf2042 and has a garbage gpu

[rugged citrus]

i am and i also see my neck and body next to me

[dim blade]

They making this game F2P?

[blazing stone]

yea since the update it happens at a high rate. still enjoying the game but shesh

[arctic grove]

lmao macs and gaming

good joke

[arctic grove]

if they dont want this game dead in the water its the only relevant choice

but they will upset the people that paid for the game A LOT

[dim blade]

yeah idk how they can make up to the players that paid

[grizzled whale]

as long as they will make true on the 4 seasons of content im all up for f2p

[arctic grove]

they better refund everyone that bought the game when making it f2p

[jovial jay]

EA just gonna diddle around with my $60 like a diddling joke

[grizzled whale]

id say refund anyone with under 50 hours playtime

[jovial jay]

feels bad for those who bought the ultimate edition

[grizzled whale]

i bought that and i dont feel bad

no wait i bought gold

[rustic roost]

they won't its EA

https://tenor.com/view/out-of-touch-principal-skinner-ea-electronic-arts-the-simpsons-gif-10333712

[arctic grove]

ea has a shareholder call on 1st feb

[jovial jay]

2042 is sad, downgrade in both graphic, map design and performance how did this even happen

[dusky blade]

I don’t think it’s a downgrade in graphics

[arctic grove]

bro i played it with the 10 hour trial ima hope its f2p cause i dont wanna buy it

lets see what kind of underhanded bullshit these liars will tell their precious shareholders

[jovial jay]

if I know the game would be this bad I would have bought winrar

[arctic grove]

at least winrar works

in comparison

[grizzled whale]

ah yes, comparing a file compressor to a battlefield game

[arctic grove]

both are pieces of software

[grizzled whale]

lets compare a 50cc gokart with a bugatti veyron, both have engines

[arctic grove]

seems like good quality software is a legacy feature

[arctic grove]

one give me more joy 😆

[grizzled whale]

if you get joy from winrar you should go see a doctor

[arctic grove]

nah the amount of files ive been able to extract with winrar

[arctic grove]

i get more joy out of winrar extracting files than i ever did playing 2042

[grizzled whale]

yall need help

[plush coyote]

i got more joy out of this discord than bf2042

[arctic grove]

thats true

[grizzled whale]

i ge tmor ejoy out of 2042 than i ever got from bf4

[arctic grove]

good for you

you are in the minority but good for you

[grizzled whale]

you can leave out the "probably"

[rustic roost]

hitreg worse than roblox

[grizzled whale]

just hit your shots, i havent had any issues with broken hitboxes, just broken terrain where its just invisible walls

[arctic grove]

im not talking about the actual act of extracting files giving me joy but because of winrar being such a good software ive been able to extract files and have much more joy from those games and files than playing battlefield 2042

[glossy storm]

Technically speaking, 2042 isn't a downgrade in graphical fidelity. Sure, the art direction on some maps might suck, but textures are of a really nice quality.

https://youtu.be/uTTNK4BBah4

[lilac vapor]

Ğ

[arctic grove]

the game looks incredibly flat and plasticky

[desert elbow]

Well yeah modern day architecture isn’t as dimensional as the 1900s

Go into the 1942 portal and you’ll see it doesn’t feel flat at all

[arctic grove]

hourglass is literally a fucking desert

[desert elbow]

Yes? How is that not realistic lmao

[arctic grove]

there is nothing else in there

all you see is sand and sand and more sand that almost looks 2d

[desert elbow]

Yeah sounds like a desert

[arctic grove]

the game lacks depth

bf1 looks like a 2021 game while 2042 looks like one out of 2016

[desert elbow]

What more depth do you want in a literal desert

[desert elbow]

Look at Sinai Desert, it was literally more empty

[arctic grove]

the maps looked great though

[plush coyote]

you must have got a different game to us lol

[arctic grove]

the maps on 2042 look really bad

sinai desert was a map that wow'd me with the graphics of bf1

[errant scarab]

Spectacular

[desert elbow]

Yet you just complained about a desert being empty

[arctic grove]

it just looked quite real

[glad river]

I just restart the game 3 times , it is a breakthrough 128 player, and it is a same game, maybe because there is someone hacking or cheating in the game, getting kick out by the game for 3 times, and seems like this is the only room for breakthrough 128 cross play for this moment

[desert elbow]

Yeah, because it was empty

[arctic grove]

the bottom line is you shouldnt have a fucking desert in a battlefield but if you so desperately insist on having one then at least make it look good

and sinai desert did just that

[desert elbow]

It looks good, just like Sinai did. Also Bandar Desert was a fan favourite in bf3

[arctic grove]

lol it doesnt look good at all its the flattest and most one-dimensional shit i have ever seen

[desert elbow]

….it’s a desert?

[arctic grove]

the sand looks really low quality

[desert elbow]

Uh….okay sure lol

[arctic grove]

the map being huge doesnt make it any better

[bitter sphinx]

Cringefield keeps forgetting my graph settings everytime p a i n

[arctic grove]

set the config file to read only

[bitter sphinx]

Oh noice, will try it

[arctic grove]

then the game wont fuck with your settings ever again

[grizzled whale]

or i just hit my shots

[plush coyote]

[arctic grove]

or the netcode on this game is trash

[grizzled whale]

or just hit your shots

[arctic grove]

enders, who has some of the best aim in the bf community, has said that the netcode and mouse input on 2042 are absolute trash

and i have experienced it first hand too

[arctic grove]

Brutal expectations, these are

[desert elbow]

Never experienced it myself honestly, except really abnormal helicopter minigun spread

The gunplay is actually really solid though, some of the best in the franchise

[arctic grove]

hell no

I disagree

the gunplay is above average at best

The gun play is at the bottom of the franchise

the gunplay doesnt even come close to the likes of bf1 and definitely not bfv

BF3 was very good as well

the suppression and bloom sucked

BF3 is my fav bf so it has a special place in my heart

shooting on 2042 just doesnt feel right

it feels quite stiff, floaty and lacks that umph

[arctic grove]

I dont think you realise that these are absolutely brutal expectations my guy

like i dont know how this is even acceptable in 2021

its literally a downgrade from previous titles when it should be an upgrade

It is because every triple A company has released unfinished broken asf games

they gotta please their precious shareholders

We havent got an actual finished triple A game in a long time

I miss 2012 I really do

you could argue halo

Yeah but sadly its an xbox exclusive

[desert elbow]

Bf1 was literally a deviation simulator in terms of gunplay, it was fun though

[arctic grove]

kudos to microsoft for not fucking its player base over and releasing a good quality product

[arctic grove]

You just have to be good

[desert elbow]

Bf3’s was mainly just tapfiring, but that wasn’t a bad thing tbh I can see why you’d like it

[arctic grove]

It takes time getting used to, also at least thats better than your shots not registering at all

[desert elbow]

You should’ve played bf1 at launch

[arctic grove]

Mostly because of the maps and all the crazy stuff u could do, it was a hell of a game

[desert elbow]

Man bf3 had so much content, I can only hope the maps return some day

[arctic grove]

I remember bf3 quite well when my big bro bought it for me for my bday

Played it on my PS3 non stop

Same for black ops 2 my fav cod game

bf1 redefined the franchise imo

[arctic grove]

Metro was amazing

it literally dwarfs bf4 in terms of scale

Imagine still talking bout a dead game on a dead discord

[arctic grove]

Playercount higher of bf2042s

I meant BF2042 being dead not BF3 XD

Ah ok

[desert elbow]

Yeah they do that every 2 games I’ve noticed. Bc1 / Bc2 then bf3 / bf4 then bf1 / BF5 and now 2042

[desert elbow]

Eh Bf4 definitely had bigger maps but bf1 get more like a war

[arctic grove]

they should have stuck to the bf1 formula

BF1s atmosphere was the best

its literally timeless

[desert elbow]

People disliked it because it didn’t feel much like battlefield, they said it was too small scale

[arctic grove]

bruh what

i have never seen anyone say that

[limber basin]

Wait I know this is long overdue but I just read that EA might make BF 2042 free to play is that true?

[arctic grove]

I didn't care for bf1 much

[arctic grove]

yes ea are evaluating it

It was a nice looking game and turned out better than it started but it wasn't for me

[arctic grove]

Even if they do it still would be dead 🤣

[limber basin]

Nah Ill probably download it and play it to see whether its shit like what others said

I contemplated buying it but had some financial issues then

[arctic grove]

U havent already realised its shit? I feel bad now

[desert elbow]

That was a big complaint at release, the gameplay was far smaller scale which was eventually fixed with the naval DLC however people tended to compare it to bf1942

[limber basin]

I nvr played it just heard what others said about the game

[desert elbow]

I really liked bf1 though, one of my favourites

[arctic grove]

I was close to pre ordering it, thankfully I didnt

[arctic grove]

Its my 2nd fav after BF3

[limber basin]

I had it on my Steam wishlist but hesitated buying it

[arctic grove]

You did well

[naive quiver]

😂😂

[desert elbow]

Honestly BF5 is so underrated, it feels like a more polished bf1, however it sadly never got enough content

[limber basin]

Cause my computer had many other games alr and i felt like i would not play BF2042 that much

[limber basin]

Lol i got that for free cause of my Amazon Prime Gaming

[arctic grove]

"You dont want a broken game? Cmon guys I love yall but these are BRUTAL expectations"

[desert elbow]

Damn nice, it’s really good

[arctic grove]

I hated BF5 honestly, too colorful

It was an alright game but just wasnt it at all for me

[naive quiver]

It’s broken but it not brutal broken

[limber basin]

I heard BF5 was crap cause many players didnt liked it but i also nvr played it cause i hate World War games

[desert elbow]

Definitely the most realistic looking battlefield, but the atmosphere was lacking at times

[arctic grove]

Absolutely brutal expectations

[vocal adder]

Battlefield V has a ton of content now lmao

[arctic grove]

Dev response and lack of content made the game awful

Also I dont wanna even talk about the women situation in it

[desert elbow]

People keep taking the whole brutal expectations quite out of context, it came from a dev who was complaining when people harassed developers and told them to work during the holidays

[limber basin]

Why did many ppl didnt liked BF5 is it because of the gameplay or bugs?

[desert elbow]

True it’s got tons but it could’ve had so much more

[arctic grove]

I dont think you deserve one when people pay full price for a game this broken

[desert elbow]

Bf4 was more broken, besides nobody forced you to buy the game

[vocal adder]

Would of got more same with battlefront 2 if they didn't make 2042 what a mess 🤣

[desert elbow]

Also are you saying the developers SHOULDNT go on vacation because you don’t like their game? Lmao

[arctic grove]

Still way better and more fun

[limber basin]

I think 2042 gives EA and DICE a learning curve that they should test the game b4 launch

[desert elbow]

Not to some people, also I doubt it was more fun when it was unplayable at launch

[arctic grove]

Ill be real with you I havent even bought it, thats just what 90% of the community has been saying

[desert elbow]

Yeah definitely

[limber basin]

Even F1 2021 was less buggy than BF 2042

[arctic grove]

F1 games

[desert elbow]

Then they need to stop being so selfish, just because they don’t like the game doesn’t mean the developers shouldn’t take a break

[limber basin]

Acquired by EA last year

[arctic grove]

Ah I understand now

[limber basin]

EA bought Codies last year or 2020 I think

And many ppl took that as saying its the beginning of the end of the F1 games

[arctic grove]

Microsoft also bought activision blizzard

[grizzled whale]

because a lot of people dont like historic shooters and just wanted a modern battlefield game

[arctic grove]

No it wasnt that, at least not the main reason

[grizzled whale]

for me it was

[limber basin]

I am a person that hates World War or ancient games I prefer modern games thus why i will nvr play BF5

[arctic grove]

BF1 was liked just fine, it was the lack of content, a too colorful atmosphere, the devs responses to peoples complaints and also we cant forget about the trailer

[limber basin]

Man if BF 2042 does go free i think like PUBG many ppl will play it

[arctic grove]

Ah the Bf5 trailer

[arctic grove]

i think you mean bfv

because the bf1 trailers are absolutely amazing

[hasty siren]

Its not that people dont like historic shooters it just depends on how they are marketed

Exp - bf1 vs bfv

[arctic grove]

No he said many people dont like historic shooters, I said no since Bf1 was liked just fine im talking about bf5 what are u talking about

[limber basin]

I read on wiki that the BF5 trailer upset fans i nvr read why it upsetted them

[arctic grove]

i mean you know bf1 is sort of a rare breed in that its ww1 but it was still recieved positively

[grizzled whale]

literally every newer historic shooter was absolute garbage in my opinion, Cod ww2, BF1/5, vanguard

[limber basin]

I think new BF games should come every 5-7 years now

[arctic grove]

BF1 absolutely garbage? Now thats a far stretch

cod ww2 and vanguard are trash but bf does historic shooters right imo

[arctic grove]

Thats too much

3-4 years is fine

[arctic grove]

thats how long it takes to develop a gta game lmfao

[limber basin]

Its just 2 years longer than the gap between BF5 and BF 2042

[arctic grove]

calm down bucko it should be 3 or 4 years

[hasty siren]

Eh it seems like battlefield at the moment is going through a death spiral

[arctic grove]

Trust me bf2042 would turn out the same even if they had 2 extra years, this DICE that made bf2042 isnt the same one that made bf1 and previous battlefields

All the old devs left, rightfully so

[hasty siren]

They ruined all the momentum they had with bf1

[fiery solar]

idc about realism i loved the WWII campaign

[limber basin]

I meant like future BF games should take longer now since the mess that 2042 made

[desert elbow]

The DICE that made bf1 wasn’t the same team that made bf4 either, it’s not like they always have the same team

[hasty siren]

Dont understand how they went from bf1 to bfv marketing disaster

[foggy crest]

It was like playing a movie

[arctic grove]

It was still relatively close, this one is completely different, BF2042 is an absolute mess and so is todays DICE and I think you should just agree with it up at this point

Theres no point in defending them

[desert elbow]

It’s not completely different, people keep saying that with no basis, you can go in the credits and compare it with bf1’s lol, they have tons of the same employees

[fiery solar]

i always have the feel that im actually there when playing a COD campaign either its in the future or not but i havent played many of them

[arctic grove]

They also have tons of different employees, also they gotta please EAs shareholders so this is what we got

[desert elbow]

This isn’t pleasing the shareholders, also of course there are different employees, there were different employees when bf1 launched too

[foggy crest]

Play black ops 1 & 2 and mw 1, 2& 3 that's all man u need to play they don't take that much time but you will remember them forever they are that kind of masterpiece of a game

[arctic grove]

It is, if you think this game is anything else than a blatant cash grab, ure completely wrong

[desert elbow]

Cod ww2 is so underrated, the story was actually so fun

[arctic grove]

Cod ww2 had the most average like american soldier story ever, nothing special

[hasty siren]

The problem is you need to keep innovating or the games become stale

[desert elbow]

A cash grab? There are rumours of it going f2p and there are currently no micro transactions atm, it’s far from a cash grab

Not to mention they brought in 6 studios to make it

[arctic grove]

It is a cash grab, everyone says it, its literay right infront of this communitys poor eyes

[foggy crest]

Yep

[desert elbow]

You’re the first person I’ve heard call it a cash grab

[arctic grove]

You dont seem to keep up with what the community says much do you

[desert elbow]

I do? But sure lol

[arctic grove]

Do me a favor and go on YT and reddit but you do you man

[fiery solar]

he went to reddit saw someone say it along with 3 replies agreeing and called it the community

[desert elbow]

Reddit, lmao no thanks

[foggy tundra]

reddit is.... yea no

[arctic grove]

Thats a fair point Ill give it to you

[limber basin]

BF 2042 isnt a game solely for the purpose of generating profits or money

[foggy crest]

It's an American game

[foggy tundra]

if there ever was a void, reddit would that void, a void of insanity

[arctic grove]

.....ok

[prisma anvil]

no thats probably 4chan

[desert elbow]

You can say the game is unfinished & missing many features but it’s far from being a cash grab

[foggy tundra]

4chan dead tho

[prisma anvil]

wdym?

[arctic grove]

It seems like one, and ill consider it one until it gets fixed and finished

[foggy tundra]

last time i heard of 4chan was like 2-3 years ago

[prisma anvil]

its stll there but people have mostly calmed down.....still a vile den of degeneracy tho

[foggy tundra]

so it didnt tumblr itself, disappointed

https://tenor.com/view/happens-more-often-then-not-with-me-box-of-shame-gif-13788566

[arctic grove]

4chan

[prisma anvil]

nah, theyre still busy calling each other no no words and presenting themselves as true politicians and master tacticians that understand how everything works...

[foggy tundra]

so basically reddit

[prisma anvil]

yes, but with little to no moderation

[foggy crest]

Dude I have just two issues with the game and which I think will be fixed 1st issue is game is not optimised and 2nd issue is I don't like any maps that's all I don't care about specialist and voip tbh

[arctic grove]

Specialists are just awful

I mean the game is awful what am I on about

[foggy tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/warhammer-gif-19055033

[foggy crest]

In this server I read many actually like them

[prisma anvil]

cant do much about em for 2042 m8.....theyre here to stay..

[foggy tundra]

specs shouldve been faction specifc

[prisma anvil]

purge the xenos brother

[foggy tundra]

BROTHER

[arctic grove]

Oh Im aware, thats what breaks my heart, it hurts knowing ill probably quit bf after this

[foggy tundra]

GET THE FLAMER

THE HEAVY FLAMER

[prisma anvil]

99% casualties.......victory

[foggy tundra]

YES

quick side tangent on 40k

[foggy tundra]

theres a film studio called lost legion studios, they making exodite

[prisma anvil]

it is sad, but best thing you can do is just stop caring about it,

[foggy tundra]

its on the shameful warhammer +

[limber basin]

Lol i dont even know what specialists are cause i only played BF4

[prisma anvil]

ooooooooooo gib ples

[arctic grove]

Im trying to, back to playing BF1 for a couple more years....again.......

[foggy tundra]

cant, but i can say is, i am community manager for them, it looks good

like nearly astartes level good

[prisma anvil]

same....it do be like that sometimes.....check back when season 1 drops...see if it interests you

[foggy crest]

U can try Hunt Showdown , Escape from Tarkov , Insurgency Sandstorm

[arctic grove]

They putting seasons? God damn

[prisma anvil]

i said gib, brother

[foggy tundra]

bruh

[prisma anvil]

[arctic grove]

Looking to buy a PC honestly so I can enjoy games like those and also hell let loose

[foggy tundra]

https://youtu.be/f2nJeLjn7YQ

here

[prisma anvil]

love ya twiggsy..............no homo tho..

[foggy tundra]

[graceful hatch]

Tfw eternal crusader was better than a battlefield game >.>

[foggy crest]

In all of those mentioned games only escape from tarkov is not on console insurgency and hunt showdown is on PlayStation and xbox

[arctic grove]

Ik but lets be honest its better on pc either way

[graceful hatch]

Ur going to get a lot better experience with most of those on pc tho, HLL doesn’t even run properly on PC depending on the map

[glossy storm]

Does 2042 actually have Denuvo?

[foggy tundra]

so theres your exodite

enjoy

https://tenor.com/view/kekwtf-gif-18599263

[prisma anvil]

[foggy crest]

Yeah that's also true

[prisma anvil]

also, jeez louise twiggsy, why is that gif so deep fried?

[graceful hatch]

RIP El Rasitas o7

[foggy tundra]

i thought it was perfect for this situation

[prisma anvil]

right click--->save target as

[foggy tundra]

cursed cat strikes back

am excited for the exodite to launch, not excited to sub to fucking warhammer plus

[prisma anvil]

no you will...and you'll bloody enjoy it

[foggy tundra]

GW is a joke rn

[desert elbow]

That’s fair, I just hope if they end up optimising the game they don’t downgrade the graphics

[foggy tundra]

GW makes EA look like they actually arent out for money

[prisma anvil]

dont worry brother, the emperor will guide us through these dark times

[foggy tundra]

like im not even a huge fan of 40k, but i do love gaunts ghosts

[prisma anvil]

same....my knowledge of 40k comes from multiple hour long youtube lore videos

[foggy tundra]

you watched bruva alfabusas vids?

[dusky blade]

You know what

[foggy tundra]

what

[dusky blade]

I’m really coming around to 2042’s art style, like, a lot

[foggy tundra]

thats something i wasnt expecting to hear

[dusky blade]

I really like how discarded looks especially, with the hazy overtones

[foggy tundra]

like i get the emptiness, thats an issue

[prisma anvil]

nah, just general ones...like inception of the world....character lore, timelines, factions....

[foggy tundra]

but the environments are lit

[foggy tundra]

you gott watch his vids

[prisma anvil]

aight bet

[foggy tundra]

its a shame he had to can his series

[dusky blade]

Oh yeah I agree with the emptiness, but it just looks nice and has that feel to it

[foggy tundra]

it honestly

feels as empty as 2142

but looks waaay better

[glossy storm]

Gosh, I really hope Arc Raiders doesn't turn out to be a disaster as well...

[prisma anvil]

i've always said...2042 aint a bad looking game....it just feels, plasticky, like it was made by ai, too clean, too symmetrical.....

[foggy tundra]

GW right?

[glossy storm]

What?

[foggy tundra]

oh no nvm

we were talking about 40k like 2 min

[glossy storm]

What's GW?

[prisma anvil]

twiggsy lad,

[foggy tundra]

games workshop

[dusky blade]

I don’t think it’s plasticy imo, but it’s just empty

[foggy tundra]

owner of warhammer 40k

more stingy with money than EA is

[dusky blade]

I do enjoy the cleanish look on some maps like kalaedescope and discarded for some reason

[glossy storm]

I've heard that Nexon is an even worse publisher than EA, hence my concerns...

[prisma anvil]

again, thats up to interpretation....but yes, it is empty...

[foggy tundra]

id rather have EA as a publisher than GW tbh

so i can understand your concerns

[prisma anvil]

no....idc how bad they are...

[foggy tundra]

i just wanna play darktide

[halcyon dome]

So THE weekly assignment, ive done several games with dmg from helicopter over 2k dmg yet its not counting towards THE progress, nor infantry dmg. Anyone else having this issue?

[grizzled whale]

why capitalise "THE"

[umbral island]

Bring back classes in 2042

[arctic grove]

soulless too

[foggy tundra]

is this in portal or AoW?

[halcyon dome]

AoW :)

[foggy tundra]

thats prob a bug then

try relaunching the game

[prisma anvil]

could be said.....but thats not the maps themselves, other factors contribute to that too

[foggy tundra]

if you havent alrdy

[halcyon dome]

Ive even reinstalled the game :/

[foggy tundra]

F

[arctic grove]

also the deploy screen looks awful

[foggy tundra]

the only other thing i can suggest is support

!!support

[halcyon dome]

Thanks Twiggs!

[foggy tundra]

yup

[prisma anvil]

the ui in general is subpar....spawning is such a chore on console...the spawn selection being crap was an issue in V as well

[arctic grove]

did they fix the jitter when flying?

[dusky blade]

It’s just the map design. There’s no choke points, they’re too big and empty, there’s no battlefield massive fight moments

[foggy tundra]

they did say they didnt want chokepoints

which i think....

this is just my thought now

ruined the map in the process

[arctic grove]

then thats bad map design in a battlefield

[dusky blade]

I recall them saying they split the points up to make small skirmishes

[foggy tundra]

ye

they didnt want too many chokepoints and wanted several smaller points to handle the issue of lack of fighting

[arctic grove]

dont get me wrong i dont want every map to be like operation underground where the game is fixated on which team can capture the train station first

[foggy tundra]

as these are larger maps with 128 players

this game feels more like an experiment tho tbh

[arctic grove]

but chokepoints make or break the whole battlefield experience

[dusky blade]

They should’ve done BF1’s map design method, there’s no massive choke points on many maps but there’s always places where you can find combat

You just find it, with no need to search like in 2042

[arctic grove]

half the time you spend playing 2042 is allocated towards running and running and running

[foggy tundra]

unless its breakthrough

in conquest its alot of running

[prisma anvil]

hmmm....currently i'd say that between two points, there's very small cases where multiple lines of combat can form ....its either inside the objective, or on the outskirts of objectives.......and after that its emptiness.....

[arctic grove]

well thats just an incomprehensible clusterfuck with 128 players lmao

bfv was chaotic enough on breakthrough tbh

[foggy tundra]

the way they did it works for breakthrough

it doesnt work as well for conquest

[dusky blade]

I guess they did succeed with the whole making small skirmishes thing, anywhere outside of the points is dead space

So mission accomplished?

[foggy tundra]

or the occasional sniper

[arctic grove]

imagine them doing another free weekend

shit would be funny

[prisma anvil]

imo it aint small skirmishes......its patches of big skirmishes with huge gaps between them

[dusky blade]

Whatever they did, it sucks

[prisma anvil]

thats why 2042 has that all or nothing vibes..

[dusky blade]

I’ll always stand by the point BF1 did maps best. BFV focused on strict choke points and often lead to whole teams being in one area

[foggy tundra]

2142 had the best maps

[dusky blade]

Honestly I find it hard to see where most players are due to how big the maps are

[white geyser]

Mr. friendly has arrived

[dusky blade]

What on earth

[foggy tundra]

noice

[dusky blade]

You dare disrespect BF1

[foggy tundra]

yes

[dusky blade]

Oh

[foggy tundra]

whatchu gonna do about it?

[dusky blade]

You know what I can do? Call 2142 one of the worst battlefield games

[foggy tundra]

lol

did you even play 2142?

[young panther]

yes]

[dusky blade]

A few times, I’ve played most battlefields, the tone just felt weird to me

[foggy tundra]

it was a bf ahead of its time

shouldve been delayed

[dusky blade]

I’m looking at bf2142 map overviews right now, they ain’t great chief

[foggy tundra]

overviews?

[prisma anvil]

for bf1 rght..i think the map had chokes....but it also had waay more topographical differences in a small area...which even though somewhat unrealistic gave patches of elevated ground, followed by depressions....which continued...this up and down, height difference forced smaller gunfights and easier ways to flank, dodge and generally get out of combat if needed...now these differences were acheived either by terrain or by cover, and sometimes both

[dusky blade]

Birds eye view images, from the battlefield Wikipedia

[foggy tundra]

trust me

the maps are fun on titanmode

minsk was fun af

suez as well

[dusky blade]

Terrain was a MAJOR part of BF1’s map design. Crumbled buildings, mud patches, trees, trenches, just a bunch of stuff

[prisma anvil]

bf1 had mostly flat maps....i'd say 5 had overall more verticality than 1

[dusky blade]

They were flat maps done right

[prisma anvil]

yes

[dusky blade]

Maybe flats not the right word, I’d say open, maps like giants shadow are open but have a massive curve

[prisma anvil]

just for comparison, compare the cover between lets say heligoland, one of the flattest maps, or hell, albion, and compare that to a 2042 map...

[young sequoia]

[foggy tundra]

bruh, panzerstorm

[dusky blade]

Heligoland was a naval map, not a fair comparison imo

[prisma anvil]

thats V

[young sequoia]

Quiet twiggs just cuz ur my dad dont mean i gotta like you

[dusky blade]

I think a better one is galacia, the most open map in BF1, an open map done REALLY WELL

[prisma anvil]

that too

[dusky blade]

I really enjoyed galacia due to its dips in terrain, rivers, trenches, bomb holes in the ground, etc

[foggy tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/wh-gif-4365587

[prisma anvil]

i forgot that one for a second...it was one the most hated maps of 1, btu compare that too 2042 maps, probably manifest is the only one that beats it in terms of cover

[young sequoia]

🤨 your son who just got back from his girls at 4 am dont tell mom

[foggy tundra]

i dont have kids

but ok

[young sequoia]

You do now

[tiny imp]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-picard-star-trek-the-next-generation-disappointed-gif-23456183

[dusky blade]

Tbh I don’t see why it was hated when it played fine, just don’t run in the open like a chicken with its head cut off

[foggy tundra]

no im too young to have kids

[young sequoia]

Adopted

[little dust]

that was obvious by how you act

[dusky blade]

Galacia had options, 2042’s maps don’t, that’s the difference

People just didn’t see it

[arctic grove]

I enjoyed albion alot

[prisma anvil]

i know, it was just the most open among the offerrings

[arctic grove]

I miss elites

[dusky blade]

SAME

[young sequoia]

I miss prison bf4

[prisma anvil]

or hell, even sinai....

[arctic grove]

Used to snipe every single pilot out of their planes with the tank hunter kit, good times

[prisma anvil]

sinai's weakest point, ie the G point, that just reminds me of 2042

[foggy tundra]

i think sinai was in 2142

[dusky blade]

Sinai was actually really good imo lol, dunes were massive and bloom allows for smaller encounters

Besides some areas

[arctic grove]

Sinai was annoying when all those people camped on top of those huge rocks

[dusky blade]

I guess I just liked BF1’s map design overall

[foggy tundra]

nvm it did not

[prisma anvil]

i dont know about 2142 man....i barely know hardline

[young sequoia]

Shut up dad

[foggy tundra]

cease spoode

[young sequoia]

Cuz hardline wasnt a EA game

[prisma anvil]

i just know 2142 had mechs

[arctic grove]

Hardline was treated too harshly

[foggy tundra]

yes

[dusky blade]

BF1 wasn’t about hard cover, but about cover in terrain, what’s what im all about

[arctic grove]

hardline still played like a proper bf

[prisma anvil]

again, decent shooty game, poor bf game

[young sequoia]

Fr bro that shit was fun especially the zip line gun

[arctic grove]

it was just a weird spinoff of bf4

that nobody asked for

[arctic grove]

Many people hated the cops n robbers idea but it was fun

[tiny imp]

Mr Henderson said yesterday DICE are going to update some news today. Let see if he has right

[young sequoia]

The couch 😏

[arctic grove]

dont they release it in the afternoon

[young sequoia]

Morning ish for me

[prisma anvil]

i mean...coming off of 4, can ya blame em for not liking hardline?....its like you just had a delicious steak...then they followed that up with a bowl of soup

[arctic grove]

i live in germany so im essentially in the same timezone as sweden

[tiny imp]

Sweden here. 11:19

[young sequoia]

Soup is better than steak 🤨

[prisma anvil]

[arctic grove]

germany here 11:19 as well

[young sequoia]

Usa here 4:19 am

[arctic grove]

Soup is good

[white geyser]

I want to try the BF 2142 walker in the portal, once they decide to add it

[foggy tundra]

thats the L5 reseig

[young sequoia]

That looks like ass

[foggy tundra]

its fun

the PAC walker is just as good

[dusky blade]

True that

[young sequoia]

I remember the bf3 days man

And bad company days good times

[dusky blade]

The BF3 days weren’t that good man

[young sequoia]

Shut up

[dusky blade]

It did serious damage to the franchise in so many ways, the community was up in arms

[young sequoia]

Dont care i loved it

[dusky blade]

Though the bad company days

Those days, were great days, the best of days

[young sequoia]

I miss old CoD campaigns man

[arctic grove]

ok.

[dusky blade]

I miss old cod campaigns too...

[young sequoia]

World at war campaign was one of the best campaigns i ever played

[arctic grove]

i liked bf3 actually

[arctic grove]

ayo this a lie

[prisma anvil]

imo bf1 right after the french dlc dropped was one of the best times for me

[arctic grove]

altho i played it on a laptop it was great fun

[young sequoia]

Shit game looked alot like cod

[arctic grove]

Bf1 had SO many chokepoints and it really helped the game IMO as chokepoints make it fun

[prisma anvil]

the fdv grind was real...

[dusky blade]

I don’t remember there being major choke points on any map

[young sequoia]

Same

[arctic grove]

bf1 was a massive step in the right direction for the franchise

[prisma anvil]

that can be argued

[arctic grove]

the movement was sooooooo fluid and the graphics were insane

[young sequoia]

Didnt like it that shit was weird too much close combat not alot of sniping

[arctic grove]

argonne bunkers, ballroom blitz ballrooms, etc

[dusky blade]

The maps were just designed with movement patterns in mind or something, it’s complex but good

[prisma anvil]

in a way, bf1 is responsible for the mess that is 2042

[arctic grove]

fort something forgot its name was just a chokepoint manifested as a map

[young sequoia]

And your dad is responsible for the mess you are

[prisma anvil]

nah thats just me

[arctic grove]

the old devs are responsible for 2042 because they left lmfao

[still vault]

Now people see it like that. When BF1 released all the verbal parts of the community hated it.

[white geyser]

You know, if only 2142 can time travel and fix 2042 mess

[dusky blade]

alright alright those are two good examples, though ardonne is an infantry map so it’s to be expected

[young sequoia]

2142 was hated so much and it was shit

[dusky blade]

If you really look into it fortnite and cod are to blame, it sent executives down a dark path of trend chasing

[foggy tundra]

2142 wasnt hated at all, just wasnt what people wanted at the time

[young sequoia]

Definitely fortnite

[dusky blade]

A lot of BF1 was just filed away after it, BFV had little resemblance

[arctic grove]

when i watched their ea play event where they had a bunch of people playing

didnt see anyone hating it

[still vault]

Don't agree. 2142 was hated by many. Lots didn't like the future war thing, it was buggy, crashing etc. Overall the community didn't receive it well at release.

[young sequoia]

I wanna see Gta in more of a battlefield type way with destroyable building and shit like that

[arctic grove]

im not saying bf1 was/is flawless but its coming close

[dusky blade]

BF1 was indeed close to perfect

[white geyser]

I still want BF 2142 in the portal, so the timeline would be complete, but I still want BF4 in the portal too (no one gives a fuck about reskin bullshit of how similar to BF3)

[young sequoia]

Hated it

[still vault]

I was at that event. And ofc. you don't see that at EA Play 😄

[young sequoia]

Man i cant wait for the skins for the operators that come in the artbook to finally come out those look sick

[arctic grove]

aside from that the trailer reactions were incredibly positive

partly due to infinite warfare being dogshit

[dusky blade]

Classes needed some work. Too many weapon variants, unfitting gadgets, lack of gadget restrictions, all that stuff

DLC’s were good but inconsistent, behemoths stopped being added after dlc1 with elites added randomly

[still vault]

Oh yeas very much, trailer hype reactions and actual community behavior sadly don't go much hand in hand.

[arctic grove]

It indeed was

[prisma anvil]

think of these points right....1. making the game too casual 2. removing customization elements 3. shallow gameplay (although it was well executed) 4. moving away from community driven experiences 4. matchmaking.....1 was the prime example to to EA that marketing to the wider audience is the best bet for success....now they dont care about the details as to why 1 succeded in doing that, but the simple line stuck "market to wide audience, the general audience"

[young sequoia]

Some of the skins they picked for the operators look like shit the snow skill for angel is ok and so is the desert skin for the hacking guy but wingsuit girl is just a ass skin

[dusky blade]

I’ll never think you can make a game too casual, it’s simply a style of game

[grizzled whale]

If bf1 was modern, it would be perfect

[arctic grove]

tbh i didnt have much to complain about when playing bf1 aside from bloom really but it was tone down from bf4

[still vault]

Nah, they removed Battlelog, custom servers. etc. etc.

[arctic grove]

Theres nothing wrong with it being WW1 themed

[dusky blade]

Hence the word close, gameplay and all was great and I mentioned some stuff before

[prisma anvil]

nothing can be perfect..

[arctic grove]

Bf1 was the start of the stripping of features

[dusky blade]

What did it really strip down?

[arctic grove]

at least the in-game stats were decent

[prisma anvil]

yes....bf1 began the streamlining process..

[dusky blade]

I wouldn’t say streamlining and stripping are the same thing

[arctic grove]

if anything they added a bunch of really good stuff that spiced up the gameplay in a good way

[dusky blade]

Streamlining is making more simple and understandable, stripping is removing

[young sequoia]

The skull skin for dozer is sick bro cant wait for that

[arctic grove]

I dont think they stripped anything

[arctic grove]

what skin?

[still vault]

Nothing compared to Battlelog though.

[arctic grove]

i remember the war blimps being JUST like the trailers in the final game

[young sequoia]

Ill show u in dms

[arctic grove]

Worked with what they had in the WW1 era

[dusky blade]

The blimps were crazy

[arctic grove]

although i wasnt the biggest fan of the elites/behemoths

[dusky blade]

Aw I loved elites and behemoths, they were fun

[arctic grove]

but the flamethrower was a ton of fun

[dusky blade]

Nothing greater than getting a sentry kit and watching people run away

[arctic grove]

lmao yeah

[earnest verge]

they wer a ton of fun tho, the behemoths was dope

[arctic grove]

When zeppelins spawned on the map, I used to get a heavy bomber and bomb the hell outta it then land right on top of it and kill everyone spawning on the AA gun

[dusky blade]

Fun is always more important than balance in my mind, because balance can lead to it being unfun, but if it’s fun regardless that’s when it’s done best

[arctic grove]

you gotta give dice credit for making bf1 what it is with a relatively undercovered era like ww1

[arctic grove]

Absolutely

[dusky blade]

It’s just a balance you need to strike

[still vault]

Behemoths were broken in what they were supposed to do and it was never fixed. They looked cool though.

[prisma anvil]

elites are allright, behemoths were cool if you just understood that its mostly a gimmick to make games closer.....and giving a losing team a bit of leeway as to how badly they lost

[arctic grove]

Sometimes they were useless and sometimes they were op

[white geyser]

The Mr friendly skin I unlocked, it's like it's for the zombie survival

[young sequoia]

Can we get dozers original shield the one he has looks like ass

[dusky blade]

Wasn’t that the point of behemoths, to help the losing team

[arctic grove]

iconic

[prisma anvil]

8 out of 10 times, that behemoth aint doing jack but acting as a kill farming machine to the few guys who managed to get in em

[arctic grove]

Elites were awesome

[regal sequoia]

[arctic grove]

bfv removing behemoths was probably for the better

[prisma anvil]

agreed, trench raider go bonk

[arctic grove]

The char2c actually used to kick my teams ass

Every damn time

[livid sequoia]

sup guys

[arctic grove]

yeah bro

but the train on sinai desert was kinda cool

[still vault]

Behemoths didn't break up the fight and help the loosing team like they were supposed to. They were rather quick to take down once people learned how to and they usually just occupied a bunch of people trying to get kills - taking people away from taking flags which was the problem for the loosing team to begin with.
I understand them not being in later games.

[dusky blade]

Infiltrator elite kit go “massive Airstrike everyone dies”

[arctic grove]

and THE FUCKING HORSES

[empty bloom]

still the behemoth was cool in bf1

[prisma anvil]

with the char you just had to realise that you just stay on any point that its not on or actively not moving towards....thats how you counter the char......generally the enemy team would just zerg with the char for protection and rarely bother to attack other objectives

[arctic grove]

too bad you couldnt ride the horses in first person

peak immersion right there

[young sequoia]

Dms

[prisma anvil]

specifically remember this right, on monte grappa operations....if youre on defense, you could take out the enemy airship in anout 2-3 mins with the machine guns in the back, all the while racking up a huge amount of score.....

[earnest verge]

this is the truth, but damn they really wer cool and fun

[prisma anvil]

hell, the airship was probably the easiest one to take down

[arctic grove]

Had this guy once, just 1v32 the team with it, absolute madlad

[dusky blade]

But it did have a TON of health tbh

[arctic grove]

at least it was something new and gave bf1 a new sense of scale

[dusky blade]

The airship just didn’t die

[arctic grove]

Honestly the char2c was the most useful behemoth imo

Sadly the char2c wasnt available on many maps

it actually made it feel like a war tbh

[prisma anvil]

focus on gondolas, destroy gondolas, focus on engines, destroy engines...blimp stuck in air with near 0 mobility and firepower.....wail on that fucker

[dusky blade]

I find it’s a bigger shame they didn’t release new behemoths every dlc

[prisma anvil]

true....i dont knock em for it, it was a cool thing although it barely did what it was supposed to do

[arctic grove]

Airships were just free damage honestly

[dusky blade]

The Russian tsar dlc could’ve had another Russian tank, turning tides could’ve had a submarine, and apocalypse should’ve had a MASSIVE bombing plane

[arctic grove]

i remember the airships on the green mountain map in italy

dont remember the name

[prisma anvil]

monte

monte grappa, or crappa depending on your experiences

[arctic grove]

I think a submarine wouldve been a lil hard to implement into the game but it would be cool

[shy bronze]

[arctic grove]

suez was fucking awesome though

[dusky blade]

Could’ve been, but it would’ve rocked on the naval maps

[shy bronze]

Where’s your source?

[arctic grove]

my experience

[prisma anvil]

it was fun but imabalnced as fuck....suez just boiled down to which team can take control of C first

[shy bronze]

So you have no source

[dusky blade]

Nothing wrong with a good ol tug of war map

[arctic grove]

i remember reviving like 20 people on suez

[prisma anvil]

just saying....

thats how suez....well not only suez...thats how a lot of the maps in 1 worked to be fair

[arctic grove]

Fort de vaux revive simulator

[prisma anvil]

argonne was the same, spawn, fuck A,B, D,E, run straight to bridge

[dusky blade]

Argonne was an infantry map to be fair

[earnest verge]

now u just remind me i want news

[prisma anvil]

just saying...it was fun.....good shit that map

[dusky blade]

[prisma anvil]

gods the conquer hell operation truly lived up to its name

[grizzled whale]

i remember being super sad BF Play4Free was shut down

[prisma anvil]

what was that?

[grizzled whale]

a free to play browser battlefield

used maps from several BF games, you could buy packs to unlock weapons and stuff

[arctic grove]

Just saying tank hunter was best elite class 😉

[prisma anvil]

just saying.....for the first 5 months of bf1, i didnt know the tankhunter guy had a secondary

[arctic grove]

Lmao

Infiltrator was so fun too

[prisma anvil]

i just got into the habit of bumrushing people, falling at their feet and noscoping

[arctic grove]

Sniping heavy bombers was the best

[prisma anvil]

i didnt do that much idk why....i used lmg's to mess with planes

gods the mg15na was good

[arctic grove]

Oh trust me, absolute satisfaction and just easy kills, I remember when I sniped a pilot right out of his bomber

[pliant dove]

Is bf2042 still on gamepass

[arctic grove]

I used the perino low weight

[prisma anvil]

thing is right....outright killing them is allright, but constantly being a pain in their ass disabling their wings mid dive is a special kind of fun

[arctic grove]

They deserve it for spawn killing my entire team

[austere furnace]

Henlo

[prisma anvil]

hell, after the muromets came out right, i stopped spawning at the beginning of a match....let the bomber pass over, then i'd spawn

[arctic grove]

With the heavy bomber u either died within 15 sec or stayed alive the entire round

[austere furnace]

Bombers are the most annoying thing on bf1 and v

[prisma anvil]

one of my prized kills is a 1895 sniper no scope triple kill on a muromets

[arctic grove]

Also the A7V tank was so good my fav

[arctic grove]

I also got a triple kill on a muromets with the tank hunter

[prisma anvil]

it was on fire and floating above me, so i thought why not...mfw i got a triple

ahh..good times

[arctic grove]

Hunting bombers is my fav

My sole job is to harass them

[prisma anvil]

mine is cheesing infantry

[arctic grove]

Grenade spam on objective C in ballroom blitz

[prisma anvil]

nah nah nah, what ya take me for?...a heathen?....i'm a model 1900 slug connoisseur my good man

[arctic grove]

[austere furnace]

Sry wrong answer. WHAT?

[prisma anvil]

yeah...muromets was close to death above me...i decided to no scope it....destroyed it and got a triple

[austere furnace]

Literal king

[prisma anvil]

luck more like...

shit like thats bound to happen once in a while

[austere furnace]

You did it

Destroying planes with a tankgewehr: i sleep

Destroying planes unintentionally with a Russian 1895 in hip fire: real shit

[uncut musk]

apparently game has so few players they want to make some modes free to play

not the whole game (yet)...

[austere furnace]

Fine for me, but I want something in exchange.

[uncut musk]

Same

[prisma anvil]

russian 1895 is based

[austere furnace]

I mean having aow or hazard zone for free is ok for me... But I bought the game. I want some seasons for free.

[earnest verge]

u wont, cause they sold seasons for extra to gold and ultimate

[arctic grove]

That things cursed

[prisma anvil]

1895, 98, g95 and lebel....they make me moist

[dusky blade]

Me when I find a lobby on hourglass

I’m telling you it’s all I’m finding today

[austere furnace]

Then they have to give something else to ultimate edition buyers. You can't make 2042 free and not expect people who bought the game to get angry. You know, I bought it 8 times.

[arctic grove]

@prisma anvil im an average martini henry enjoyer

[prisma anvil]

be lucky youre finding any games

[austere furnace]

Ouch

[dusky blade]

Oh they’re 3/4th bots

[prisma anvil]

i'm an average matrini henry sniper 10x enjoyer

[austere furnace]

bros I literally can't find a bot in public matches since the beta. Did you turn on crossplay?

I just find fresh full games in just 20 seconds..

[arctic grove]

Im in a muromets rn

[dusky blade]

It’s on

[austere furnace]

What's your region

[dusky blade]

OCE, the deadest region

[austere furnace]

Ok that's understandable then

[prisma anvil]

yep, without crossplay 100% dead...been so after like a week from launch.....with crossplay, last i played( mid ddecember)....80% dead

[arctic grove]

OCE is dead in every game

[dusky blade]

Not really true

[austere furnace]

Except mobas

[dusky blade]

Its kinda true but not really

[prisma anvil]

asia non crossplay been dead since launch.....

this is fine

[dusky blade]

Australian, Asia, and New Zealander servers are dead

[prisma anvil]

you think its bad for us?...imagine the south africans, the south americans....the russians

[dusky blade]

I doubt this game would be allowed in Russia

You are killing Russians for fighting against the US and stealing their stuff

[austere furnace]

If gerdard depardieu isn't banned in Russian then 2042 is ok

[desert elbow]

Nah Australian servers are fine

Was playing fine earlier

[dusky blade]

They really aren’t

[austere furnace]

U all from oce or what

[desert elbow]

Wdym? I was playing just fine

[prisma anvil]

maybe cuz its peak time rn?

[austere furnace]

Weekend, maybe yes

[prisma anvil]

its like what, 7-9pm in aus i'm guessing?

[dusky blade]

It’s late at night, that’s not peak time

[prisma anvil]

oh...i'm waayy off then...apologies, timezones are hard

[austere furnace]

The rule is pretty simple

There's the 45% of chances that the timezone you're looking for is in russia

[arctic grove]

Just got a penta kill with a muromets

[prisma anvil]

[arctic grove]

It was monte grappa dont blame me

[prisma anvil]

you heathen

[dusky blade]

It’s actually 9 north, 10 south, so you were actually spot on lol

Those still aren’t peak times tho

[arctic grove]

They were camping B

Muromets again

monte kappa

[austere furnace]

How you find playing on bombers entertaining

[prisma anvil]

really?...isnt 7-11 peak times?...or is it like 4-8 or something?

[dusky blade]

Generally around 6 I’ve seen

[arctic grove]

peak times are like 6-7pm

See now I only got a double kill @prisma anvil

[austere furnace]

One swing, bomb, hope for kills, reload. Repeat

[prisma anvil]

ahhh...i think my guesses are skewed cuz i used to play eu, eu lasts a lot longer....

[arctic grove]

EU ps4 is full of servers
