I hope you get banned next time

[arctic grove]

He’s a troll just don’t give into him

[old ridge]

Hi whats new

[arctic grove]

I didn’t even report you which is funny

[wise zodiac]

No need for anyone to report you to us.

[arctic grove]

This is too funny

[wise zodiac]

We have eyes and we can read the chat.

[arctic grove]

[wise zodiac]

So let's calm down before this gets to a point where you can't return from it.

[arctic grove]

Wahhhhh

[brittle forge]

Why does the video last the whole terrible theme ugh

I hate the string it's so reverbed

[fierce gull]

Would you prefer this one

[arctic grove]

WAHHHHH

[brittle forge]

Still got the theme but at least it's shorter

[arctic grove]

Lwahhhh

[brittle forge]

Just whip em out and measure em u two

[pliant knot]

there’s people who also defended CD projekt Red, but tbh, I think 2042 was more disappointing than cyberpunk. I’m not saying it’s worse or better, but that it caused more disappointment

[arctic grove]

[pliant knot]

wut

he disappeared

[arctic grove]

[wise zodiac]

Yep.

[foggy tundra]

[wise zodiac]

Don't need that crap here.

[arctic grove]

[pliant knot]

wdym

[wise zodiac]

So I'll be plain & blunt.

Anyone wants to disparage people based off of sexual orientation, you will find yourself removed rather quickly.

[foggy tundra]

which does violate discord tos

[wise zodiac]

It violates my ToS.

Ain't got time for it.

[arctic grove]

[foggy tundra]

if youve ever watched a vid of what happens when you fail the dragon stand meta in guild wars 2

Speaking of Boba Fett, just saw Episode 6

[foggy tundra]

[radiant echo]

I need to finish The Mandalorian

[foggy tundra]

[wise zodiac]

You heard who?

Oh, no.

But a Clone Wars character makes an appearance.

[radiant echo]

Spoilers

[foggy tundra]

ah

need some cal kestis

[wise zodiac]

And I'll leave the speculation of that be.

[foggy tundra]

[quiet shell]

Is game good yet?

[fossil flax]

No

That wasn't very 2042 of you to ask that question

[arctic grove]

[mystic basin]

does anyone know how to fix the fact that in Aircraft I am always aimed it and to aim out i have to hold aim in?

[arctic grove]

This chat is more alive then 2042

[copper fulcrum]

Don't be sad.

[arctic grove]

[arctic grove]

I dont know, is it?

[copper fulcrum]

Been pretty fun

[old ridge]

Zz

[arctic grove]

Fun yes consistent fun debatable

Long term fun, questionable

[old ridge]

Yes

[copper fulcrum]

no

[wise zodiac]

My last functioning brain cells are less active than this chat.

[ornate ginkgo]

Can someone dm me i need help with decode bf4 dice camo the bf4 app is not working help plz

[copper fulcrum]

Okay.

[wise zodiac]

So congrats to you all for making the chat more active than my noodle.

[copper fulcrum]

Whatever happened to XeroKhaos11A?

[split osprey]

It will be nice when they add content in the summer for the 500 remaining players

[wise zodiac]

There isn't one, as I was never an Infantry Officer.

[nocturne island]

Portal has to be the only salvageable thing about this game

[copper fulcrum]

AOW is pretty fun

[wise zodiac]

I'm sure that there's more salvageable things than that.

[copper fulcrum]

I don't really touch Portal too much, except for maybe Rush challenges

[split osprey]

It will be playable when they add stats and a scoreboard

[copper fulcrum]

Game's already very playable

[warm badge]

@copper fulcrum agreed

[split osprey]

Without stats it's incredibly boring as there isn't anything to play for

[nocturne island]

You play to have fun?

[wise zodiac]

I mean, you play to have fun

[copper fulcrum]

You could just play the... game.

[split osprey]

Stats are fun for me. I like to work towards things. Fun is subjective.

[wise zodiac]

There's in game levels too. Max at S999

So you could always grind for that

[copper fulcrum]

I feel like stats make a lot of players play too passively

[wise zodiac]

Gotta get that top K/D

[warm badge]

Have you maxed all the guns specialists gadgets and stuff?

[split osprey]

I feel like no stats or anything just makes people quit the game, as seen by the extremely low player count.

[copper fulcrum]

I haven't really maxed Irish, but I might plan on it.

[nocturne island]

My KD could be .03 and I could have a blast

[plucky plaza]

Stats could be part of the reason, but I personally think theres other bigger reasons why ppl decide to quit

[copper fulcrum]

But I did max Sundance, Mackay, Paik, Rao, Casper, Angel, Falck and Dozer

[split osprey]

SO while you may have fun just pew pewing and having the game end without anything to show from it, as if it didn't even happen, just know there's WAY more people who enjoy seeing their own stats.

[mental cave]

bipod knife better be the s999 reward

[copper fulcrum]

You become CEO of EA

[warm badge]

@copper fulcrum wow mate I only have the mp9 falck and prox

[split osprey]

You get sent a letter from Andrew Wilson telling you how the next BF is way ahead of schedule

[plucky plaza]

If anyone actually hits s999 i would be impressed, its a matter of time ig u can say, but it sure does take a crap load to reach that lvl

[copper fulcrum]

I have all of the SMGs and ARs to Tier 1

870-MCS and G57 are also Tier 1

[nocturne island]

How many hours do you have on the game?

[copper fulcrum]

I don't recall atm, but I am S120

[warm badge]

@copper fulcrum dude how do you use shotguns I can't get a kill with them

[mental cave]

by season 1 release there should be multiple I bet

[copper fulcrum]

Stand Still right before firing, maybe crouch too

[nocturne island]

Close quarters

[warm badge]

I mean the auto shotgun seems good bit the other one man

[plucky plaza]

Ive heard the 12m is the best shotgun, but personally im not a shotgun user

I hate typing on phone ffs

[nocturne island]

Only BF game I mailed shotguns till death was BF1

[copper fulcrum]

BR game? BF1?

[nocturne island]

BF*

[wise zodiac]

Could be worse. Could be typing on the phone while half asleep.

[copper fulcrum]

Ah

[plucky plaza]

[warm badge]

Honestly loving this game

[copper fulcrum]

Nah, try voice keyboard or whatever it's called

[wise zodiac]

Talk to Text?

[copper fulcrum]

It's a fucking blast.

[wise zodiac]

That shit is horrible.

Lol

[warm badge]

I've been using k30 lately..... so good

[nocturne island]

Game itself is not bad

[copper fulcrum]

K30 has probably the most distinct sound when firing

Other than the NTW of course

[nocturne island]

But EA and Dice fucking blew it big time

[mental cave]

same, except I have enough control to decide to go to sleep whenever I want. which is now

[warm badge]

Also been using the dxr

[plucky plaza]

Good night

[wise zodiac]

My issue is, I've been at work since 7 this morning, it's 11PM now... with icy & snowy conditions, nobody is coming in, so I'm here until tomorrow morning.

[glossy storm]

JackFrags' Beach Attack (BF1) is the best BF1 video I've ever seen.

[wise zodiac]

A 24 hour shift. Boss gave us permission to get some sleep, so I'm gonna take advantage of that. Lmao

[copper fulcrum]

Sleeping at work sounds like a recipe for disaster, especially if you snore.

[warm badge]

@wise zodiac have fun dude

[wise zodiac]

Except our boss said, "get some sleep. there's a room with a reclining chair, go use it."

Lol, permission is great. =D

Operations were suspended here for 48 hours, so

[warm badge]

@wise zodiac cool boss dude

[wise zodiac]

Indeed

[copper fulcrum]

48 hours, holy shit

[wise zodiac]

Yeah, all of today and all of tomorrow

They're gonna reevaluate Saturday.

[warm badge]

@wise zodiac good luck mate

[wise zodiac]

Who would've guessed that snow & ice impacts roadways? 🤣 🤣

[warm badge]

Lol

What's the most kills you've got with dozers shield in a game

For me it's 9 but I've only used him today really

[glossy storm]

0. I have yet to play the game.

[warm badge]

@glossy storm bummer

[copper fulcrum]

Have fun

[warm badge]

Planning on getting it ever?

@copper fulcrum what level are you

[copper fulcrum]

S120

[warm badge]

@copper fulcrum cool beans

[copper fulcrum]

I haven't really been playing other games to be honest, other than Doom, revisiting Medal of Honor, Quake and might even go back to Halo for a little bit. It's been years since I played that game.

[warm badge]

2042 is the only game I've played all year lol

I'm level 89 and I got the game on new years eve

[glossy storm]

Definitely won't buy it, but I'll try it when it's temporarily free for the weekend like they did some time ago.

[fossil flax]

That wasn't very Aghh angel does it again of u

Bad form bud

[warm badge]

@glossy storm cool mate

[glossy storm]

If that ever happens.

I do wanna buy BF1 and V, though.

[warm badge]

V is fun dude I'd recommend it

[glossy storm]

Never played the MP of both, and I would deeply regret it if they stop server support.

[warm badge]

@glossy storm I want to play 1 someday

[glossy storm]

Yup, definitely recommend it.

From all the gameplay that I've seen.

[warm badge]

@glossy storm I also recommend 2042 as well tho

At leats if it go's on sale again

[dusky blade]

BFV is bleh

[copper fulcrum]

BF1 feels outdated to play

[arctic grove]

How much does mastery goes up to for specialist don’t say 40 cause I’m on 41

[copper fulcrum]

It might be infinite

[rugged citrus]

+1, game may be broken but its fun, considering they only had 1 year of development (18 months went to making new frostbite engine and another 6 months went to making a BR game) pretty impressive

[arctic grove]

[warm badge]

@arctic grove I'd guess 999

I'd say the worst part of the game is vehicle servers

I've had games where I didn't die to infantry at all and still had 15 plus deaths

[dusky blade]

Never settle for any thing less than functional and enjoyable

[rotund cloak]

its not impressive, just shows that they dont know what they want to do and dont have expiriance in engine they were using

[rugged citrus]

impressive for the fact that EA the publisher was forcing dice to make a new engine and a br game also most talented devs left

bruh my game crashed just now

[dusky blade]

You should never treat the game better because of it’s development

If it’s bad, it’s bad

Feel bad for the devs not the game

[rugged citrus]

then by your logic indie devs make the worst pukable games

[grizzled whale]

Which is what 2042 is

[dusky blade]

?

I don’t judge indie games off development

[rugged citrus]

2042 is functional bugs are less common now, the damn specialists, map design and overall poor design decisions are the problem, might as well call it boringfield 2042

game isnt broken, just boring due to lack of content and the PUNCH-ABLE SPECIALISTS

i leave just before the match ends so i dont have to bear their cringe lines

[rotund cloak]

yea bugs aint as reddit paints em to be, they are there but dont break game, everything else tho is big oof

[dusky blade]

I think it would be better to replace functional with complete

[grizzled whale]

Specialists arent a problem, people cry about change and cry about nothing changing

[rotund cloak]

yes they are, the way they work breaks what battlefield was all about

[rugged citrus]

do you come from cod? specialists were one of the main pillars of battlefield, removing classes is like removing 1 hand and 1 leg, it ruins the experience

[dusky blade]

Battlefield adding specialists is equivalent to halo become a twitch shooter

Changes the fundamentals

[grizzled whale]

It really doesnt "break what battlefield is about"
You can still do the exact same thing as before, just with less restrictions

[dusky blade]

Battlefield was unique because of its restrictions and specialisations in what you can use

[rotund cloak]

it doesnt? ok im angle with sniper and rocket launcher who can give ammo to everyone and ress ppl up

[dusky blade]

You also supply armour and can bring down a supply drop to get anything

2042 moment

[glossy storm]

The system isn't a problem, IMO. You can still manage to do some teamwork, while being more self-sufficient.

[dusky blade]

Isn’t the lack of self reliance what made teamwork, teamwork

[graceful hatch]

U just posted cringe

[grizzled whale]

Ive never really experienced teamplay in bf to begin with unless you play with friends

Everybody just does their own thing, and its exactly the same in 2042

[glossy storm]

But I'd take nameless soldiers any day over the cringe-ass characters we got

[safe crag]

Imagine you are having lobsters for 10 days straight , you ask for something else the next day , i just shit on your plate the 11th day, you say wtf is this is i don't like it , then I say first you ask for change then you cry when changes are made

[graceful hatch]

Being completely serious tho, at that point, what is the point of even having squads or teams? It might as well be a free for all

[glossy storm]

Same, TBH. My teamwork experience at most involves regeneration and resupplying.

[graceful hatch]

Lol imagine thinking 2042 would even make it to a plate 😂😂😂

[grizzled whale]

Previous bf games werent lobster and i didnt ask for shit, that analogy doesnt work pal

[rotund cloak]

squads in 2042 is just team mate who just has green name 200m away from u

[graceful hatch]

Actually it does, the whole point he made was that, yes, u didn’t ask for shit. But that’s what u got lol

[grizzled whale]

I didnt get shit

[graceful hatch]

2042 is basically a bucket of diarrhoea that was thrown at a wall and then they aimed a projector at the wall. If that’s not getting shit idk what is

[grizzled whale]

I got a battlefield game with some changes which dont change the overal gameplay as much as people act like it does

[graceful hatch]

Idk how to respond to that seriously

[rotund cloak]

new ea/dice motto 'if it works dont put it in new game''

[slow terrace]

like other battlefields

[grizzled whale]

^

[copper fulcrum]

People like to ignore how the other games played to add to their point

[grizzled whale]

People be like "it ruins the teamplay"

Bruh it ruins that 1/100 games where your random team ACTUALLY works together?

[slow terrace]

just saying

[grizzled whale]

Wow what a big deal

[rotund cloak]

but they dont anymore, any problems old game had are fixed and dont exist anymore, thats why ppl play em now, and new game is here with new problems and so on, by next game they will be fixed but it sucks right now

[rugged citrus]

does anyone hate it when your in a jet strafing a heli and suddenly you cant see the heli its so small?

[dusky blade]

2042 is the only game with core problems

[rugged citrus]

maybe my eyes are shit

[rugged citrus]

+1

[grizzled whale]

The core problem being the community not being able to adapt

[obsidian sigil]

Imagine being able to control said jet :(

[slow terrace]

"attack order completed"

[dusky blade]

No wonder because the only similarity to older games is the large maps

The community DONT WANT THIS

[glossy storm]

I have my headcannon that after all the deadly calamities that happen in 2042, people don't care much about military framework. It's more disorganised, like just doing and carrying what you think is best for you. It screams of a desperate attempt to win the war.
I'm pretty sure my logic is flawed somewhere, and the lore isn't that good to begin with, especially when its contradicted by the tone-deaf clones of 10 people.

[grizzled whale]

The whole ass base game is the same, the only differebce is the chacacters

[rotund cloak]

they still can fix those core problems but at end of the day it will take time and will take away from new maps gun contant in general, if they are srs about fixing it ofc, but its not same like 10years ago and today, if game doesnt make money just drop it, probably reality ppl still wont accept

[dusky blade]

That’s like giving a cod player a 4 v 4 long ttk halo type game and being angry they don’t adapt

[rugged citrus]

thats like giving a BF player a 1v1 minecraft kitpvp round

[grizzled whale]

"Oh no i got no classes the entire game is different"
No its not

[dusky blade]

Specialists, class restrictions, class progression, movement, movement penalties, vehicles, vehicle systems, weapon unlocks, progression, customisation, seasons, weapon attachments

All 100% different

[grizzled whale]

At most its 20% different

[dusky blade]

If you gave cod restricted classes would it be totally different, yes. Why doesn’t that go the other way

[grizzled whale]

You act like we got a spiderman game with guns, but we got a bf game without classes, thats all

[dusky blade]

That’s a horrific comparison

Because if spider man had guns, he’d still be spider man and retain his style

2042 lost it’s style, and isn’t battlefield

[obsidian sigil]

Spodermen with an RPG? lol

[grizzled whale]

"Oh no i dont have classes anymore this aint bf"

[dusky blade]

Spider man games are made from a man in a red costume fighting villains in a city

Battlefield is classes and large maps with reliance and team play

Spider-Man with guns would still have that core aspect, how don’t you see that

[foggy crest]

But Spider-man don't kill man 👀

[glossy storm]

Spider-Man with guns... You guys talking about the new PUBG update?

[grizzled whale]

Again with the teamplay

[rotund cloak]

fortnite

[dusky blade]

He does tho, and he has tho

[grizzled whale]

The only time there was actual teamplay is when you play with friends, an guess what you can still do that

[dusky blade]

Put it this way

Lack of self reliance = relies on teammates more
More self reliance = able to do more alone, doesn’t rely on teammates for resources
Not relying on teammates for resources = more solo play

[obsidian sigil]

Tom holland killing people? Pfff nah i don't believe it 😂

[foggy crest]

Who he killed 🤔

[grizzled whale]

And yet in every bf game people always have done their own thing

Just like they do now

[dusky blade]

But rely on teammates for the resources they lack in

[glossy storm]

If you're talking about Uncle Ben's killer, Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) didn't kill him. The guy tripped and he just let him fall.

[dusky blade]

That’s never changed until now

[grizzled whale]

It hasnt changed now either

[dusky blade]

One example, green gobbo

[copper fulcrum]

He dodged his attack and his attack killed himself... so ...

[glossy storm]

Self-defence.

[foggy crest]

He didn't Spidey just dodged the glider

[dusky blade]

so you don’t believe that being more self reliant doesn’t mean you need to rely on teammates less

[rotund cloak]

sysmte we had before u can agrue maybe it didnt have team play but it also put players close to each other what ppl dont talk much about

[glossy storm]

He didn't pick up his glider and tried to impale him.

[lavish shadow]

whatsup battleifeld lovers

[arctic grove]

the fact that an ex dice dev sees the current state of battlefield as profoundly depressing tells you everything you need to know about the current dice and the amateurs in charge

[glossy storm]

Nothing much, just talking about Spider-Man in a Battlefield 2042 only chat.

[lavish shadow]

perfect

[lavish shadow]

everyone at dice and ea probs know the current state of the game but what can they do? they got money to earn

[grizzled whale]

You dont rely on teammates because nobody plays as a team anyway, i think in 1000 hours of bf4 ive gotten someone to actually do something i requested (ammo, pickup, whatever) maybe 50 times

[foggy crest]

I have only played 31 hours of BF1 but I agree I actually looked around if there is a medic who can heal me 😔 u not wrong 👍

[obsidian sigil]

Terrible, laying in bed even tho i should've stood up 40 minutes ago to prepare for work =I

[grizzled whale]

And thats exactly the same now

[lavish shadow]

;--; drink some water and force urself to get up haha

[arctic grove]

this mentality is exactly why shit like this happens every time because people keep supporting this

[grizzled whale]

When someone runs out of ammo they will rather redeploy than wait for someone to drop ammo

[dusky blade]

I mean simply relying on teammates for resources, you’re dodging that

[grizzled whale]

No im not

[obsidian sigil]

Alright lemme try that

[grizzled whale]

1. People dont wait to be resupplied
2. People dont resupply others when asked
   Thats been like that in EVERY bf game ive ever played

[glossy storm]

I remember I was chasing a Support soldier in BF4 to resupply me, and that selfish prick just ignored me. Even gave commarose orders...

[copper fulcrum]

There's a reason why BFV had ammo and health stations lol

[lavish shadow]

people stop playing bf2042, itll become a single player game
y'all wanted campaign? its incoming
campaign without the 'cam'

[arctic grove]

it truly is embarrassing at this point how they cant even implement things as simple as voip and a proper scoreboard and need to delay it

[grizzled whale]

Unless you play with friends the chances of anyone actually answering you ammo request are slim to none

[lavish shadow]

its simple, they dont know how to

[dusky blade]

1. Which is why new games make it rewarding to GIVE resources, BF1 did it best

2. Asking is dumb

[lavish shadow]

1. old devs left
2. new devs havent mastered the hard but powerful engine frostbite
3. cant do shit

[arctic grove]

and then they tout this as some kind of new gamebreaking feature?

wow such innovation dice

[dusky blade]

The new games show the giver when a player needs a resource

[lavish shadow]

they're evolving, just backwards

[grizzled whale]

Nice reply 0/10 sense

[rotund cloak]

what probably is going on is they have few devs doing it and everyone else is moved to other games and projects

[glossy storm]

I guess, it boils down to the fact that you're taking the whole teamplay thing in 2042 and previous Battlefields way too technically.

[arctic grove]

and the game hasnt even gotten a single content drop

[rotund cloak]

from live support to life support

[arctic grove]

^^

[lavish shadow]

dunno about u but in BFV i get resupplied very often...

[dusky blade]

I’m making it technical to explain how it benefits and works with the franchise

[foggy crest]

No campaign

[dusky blade]

You want it simple? Encourage players to share resources = players share resources = players work together

[lavish shadow]

thing with bfv is that we have ammo stations and throwing ammo pouches
theres NOTHING liek that in bf2042 cuz.,,... well idk

[glossy storm]

Like, in theory, you're right, but practically, you're underestimating the attitude of a lot of people.

[grizzled whale]

Theres angel the walking version

[dusky blade]

That’s why there are classes which less so encouraged team play in that sense, but instead pushing the army forward, hence the assault class

[lavish shadow]

well true but in my 95 hours of playtime, ive ran out of ammo multiple times without any resupply
i have 400 hours on bfv and even now, i get resupplied very often with pouches (less ammo boxes unless they're already dropped) and health too

[old ridge]

5k peak day omggg today world end

[dusky blade]

BFV did resupplying in an iffy way, but players threw resources around even when you don’t need them

[arctic grove]

so lets see uhm uhm: abandoned bfv and battlefront 2, delayed need for speed, 4 studios involved in 3 years of development, "way ahead of schedule", "months old build"

[rugged citrus]

THEY DELAYED MY FAV FRANCHISE NFS?

[arctic grove]

truly paid off sacrifices ea

[rotund cloak]

and u could pick em up from players too

[foggy crest]

👀

[old ridge]

Yes you right becareful mod ban u

[rugged citrus]

all of that is fine but the fact they DELAYED THE NEXT NFS?

i played breakaway 3 times in a row now

[lavish shadow]

i liked the flow

people hated bfv in the beginning but idk why but i loved it from pre alpha state even tho i was playing at sub 30

[arctic grove]

"featuring maps with unprecedented scaled, the next edition of battlefield takes all the destruction, player agency, vehicle and weapon combat and elevates it to another level. the team is focused and the game is ahead of our internal milestones"

not my quote, this is andrew wilson

[rotund cloak]

most problems that existed at start dont exist today, and i do say its best bf today idc what all u bf4 frogs say

[arctic grove]

here you go they straight up lied

[lavish shadow]

didnt some reviewer give 2042 a 100/100 lmfao
no room for implementation XD

[foggy crest]

Only lie that I know is we are ahead of schedule

[old ridge]

DICE started developing bf2042 when EA said it would leave BFV with no more content by chance, most developers are new to DICE for max 1 year.

[arctic grove]

you wanted some proof of them lying about the game? there you go

[lavish shadow]

id agree... i wont say its the best bf cuz honestly all BF's are different and its hard to rank but my top 3 BF's in no order are: BFV, BF1, BF4

[arctic grove]

what happened to the destruction thats elevated to another level

[lavish shadow]

lol destruction

[arctic grove]

the only thing elevated to another level is dice's ego

and the lie detector

[foggy crest]

That's how almost every product on earth getting sold bro 🥲

[arctic grove]

what

thats a straight up lie lmao

[old ridge]

they warned me that if I keep complaining they will ban me from the discord

[lavish shadow]

yeah but i think 2042 takes it a step further

[rugged citrus]

destruction is very prevalent in bf2042, instead of exaggerating play the game and try destroying stuff for yourself

[arctic grove]

im not even complaining

[foggy crest]

Cyberpunk 😔

[rugged citrus]

destruction feels on par with bf1 and bfv

[arctic grove]

im just pointing out the lies that dice/ea fabricated before launch

[lavish shadow]

bruh what destruction have u seen apart from basic building wall destruction?

[old ridge]

DowngradeFIELD2042 THATS ITTT

[lavish shadow]

in BFV, entire houses fall down after u break a few walls, and the snow reacts with it

in BF2042, the sun sets in the south

[rotund cloak]

sheesh that has to be new rule, day1 was hell in here

[arctic grove]

in 2042 you got a fancy tornado wandering the map that does absolutely nothing 💀

[foggy crest]

Can I destroy hourglass all those skyscrapers can I destroy kaleidoscope skyscrapers can I ?

[rugged citrus]

levolution, ability to destroy villages, destroying traffic cones, destroying the houses,

[lavish shadow]

destroying traffic cones. truue.

[arctic grove]

"levolution" LOL is destroying antennas what you consider levolution

[rugged citrus]

just saying the destruction isnt bc2 level, its on par with BF1, i remember at bf1 launch they hated the game for lack of destruction

[arctic grove]

what?

[lavish shadow]

levolution
== destruction that changes the map flow visually and gameplay wise

[rugged citrus]

yep, bf1 had barely any destruction in it

[arctic grove]

i havent seen a single soul complain about bf1s destruction

[old ridge]

you can open a big ship door wow wow wow

[lavish shadow]

bf1 barely had buildings lmfao

[rugged citrus]

because your too young my boy

[foggy crest]

🤣

[arctic grove]

i bought the game shortly after launch and played the open beta

[torpid vortex]

Ripple Effect got to see us play today, they said they were going to fix the game

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ohJH1KWQ137izbsqxYtjleT2hCbEXfw6/view?usp=sharing

[rotund cloak]

too much destruction can be harmful, u still want some cover in maps or u can put this amazing system idk if dice ever thought about it but imagine if u could build ur own cover

[arctic grove]

also portal is kind of a joke

[lavish shadow]

its not like frostbite cant do anything

[rugged citrus]

+1, who even plays portal its literally dead

[lavish shadow]

frostbite is one of the most powerful and hardest to learn engines out there

[arctic grove]

because whats the point of portal when the game is still 2042 at its core with just older maps and guns slapped on it

[lavish shadow]

its literally just that they have no idea what to do with the engine

[rugged citrus]

for the next BF game they just got to use unreal engine, UE5 would do

[arctic grove]

it doesnt resemble bf3 or bc2 in the slightest

[lavish shadow]

did u also notice how when u sprint, the transition of it is super instant? talk about a downgrade

[arctic grove]

you paid 70$ for that in 2021

[lavish shadow]

in bf3/4/5/1, its super smooth and natural, all movement is

[rotund cloak]

no 2stage sprint does that

[arctic grove]

https://youtu.be/PkeKSlqgFk0

[lavish shadow]

i couldnt refund with 4 hours in the game lmfao, so then i just played for 100 hours

[arctic grove]

truly next gen

[lavish shadow]

yeah this hahahah, saw this exact video

[rugged citrus]

the sprinting animation transition is very prevalent, its just sped up really quickly, in real life you dont run with your gun like bf4 in which the transition felt like a slug

[lavish shadow]

do u run like 2042?

[copper fulcrum]

Most people here don't run

[lavish shadow]

well yeah irl u cant see ur gun when u run
but its more realistic in the sense that you can actually feel the animations being dynamic

[left kraken]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkeKSlqgFk0&t=1s

Lol

[rugged citrus]

saw it but most of the comparisons are from portal which is made from a much smaller team than AOW, the only ones i find actually valid of the game's state are the ones from AOW (floating hands)

[arctic grove]

are you serious? you telling me effectively removing the 2 stage sprint animation in favor of these instantenous f2p low quality animations is good?

[rotund cloak]

same animations are used in both so doesnt matter

[left kraken]

Enjoy downgradefield 2042

[rugged citrus]

you mean the reloads or the player animations?

[lavish shadow]

they're literally the exact same animations in AOW i kid u not

the animations are objectively bad (compared to bfv/1)

[rotund cloak]

any animation from portal is probably used in aow too

[arctic grove]

How are we explaining away the suck tonight, everyone?

[rotund cloak]

so player movmant and reload too

just other skin

[lavish shadow]

idk man they couldve reskinned bfv

[copper fulcrum]

Getting a lot of bingo slots tonight

[lavish shadow]

gunplay, visuals, lighting, everything is amazing

[rugged citrus]

most portal reload anims feel very terrible thats due to a 1 man animation "team"

[arctic grove]

That would've been sweet tho

agreed

[left kraken]

Cringefield 2042

[lavish shadow]

i was thinking itll be like that lol

[rugged citrus]

man 2042 was what i loved, a near-future dark gritty war, not some clowny garbage

[arctic grove]

so they cant be bothered to make good quality animations at all?

[lavish shadow]

concept art vs reality

[arctic grove]

Not that that can't be bothered, pretty sure they simply can't do it

[rugged citrus]

most likely they dont care about portal now its dead

they very much can but they dont care its pretty much dead now

[arctic grove]

Lack of ability

the game's fate is sealed now anyways thanks to their announcement

[rugged citrus]

insertion flow and setting and maps and lore of 2042 + bf4's classes and gameplay style = best bf game

[arctic grove]

the season 1 update they will drop in early summer better be the biggest and greatest update ever seen in bf

but we know it wont

[arctic grove]

[copper fulcrum]

Portal's mostly alive in the featured modes

[foggy crest]

That's what people expected when they heard biggest development team for Battlefield and completely multiplayer focused

[copper fulcrum]

The featured servers don't really show up in the browser tho

[arctic grove]

8 months after release for season 1 is not acceptable

[lavish shadow]

woahhhh

[arctic grove]

the season they delayed so hard better be of mythical proportions

[foggy crest]

No denying that 👍

[lavish shadow]

live service = lets release a game 40% done and finish the rest 60% in 2 years + 1 or 2 extra smol dlc

[rugged citrus]

whats going on with the other even bigger disappointment cod vanguard?

[arctic grove]

Low sales

nah vanguard isnt a bigger disappointment

[copper fulcrum]

They're too busy reloading Panzerfaust shells into the tubes for some reason

[foggy crest]

Low sales that's all

[lavish shadow]

my anger mostly comes from the fact that EA and DICE making this a bit of a norm in the gaming industry is NOT OKAY at all!

[rugged citrus]

it is, its literaly a copy paste of the older games and a cod mw2019 ww2 reskin

[arctic grove]

its still a huge dumpster fire but its not a disappointment on the scale of 2042

https://twitter.com/charlieintel/status/1489350582947168262?s=21

CharlieIntel (@charlieINTEL)

For those wondering, Activision confirming Infinity Ward as the developer now is not indication of early announcement or release, but just re-assuring investors that IW is back this year, as MW2019 sold so well, and Vanguard has not met expectations.

[lavish shadow]

i dont want other busineses to be influenced by ea and think that delaying and releasing shit stuff and delaying more content is okay

gimme my fokin game boi i just wanna play

[arctic grove]

Next update will be in 2042

[weak epoch]

vanguard didn't just not meet expectations it and 2042 have set a new low in gaming history

[rugged citrus]

cod vanguard is even bigger than 2042, atleast 2042 had innovation and scale into it, cod vanguard is just a mw2019 reskin with reused assets for cod ww2, cod vanguard doesnt need to be completed, its just piggybacking on the completion of previous games

[arctic grove]

ea saying that bf only makes up 10% of their revenue is essentially them saying the franchise is dead and will be killed off sooner rather than later

[copper fulcrum]

Definitely not a new low lmao

[arctic grove]

2042 is a new low trust me

[weak epoch]

100% a new low

[ripe hedge]

@rugged citrus damn you really feel that strong about the AC-42?

[arctic grove]

Vanguard had poor sales that MW2 2022 is releasing early

[copper fulcrum]

BF4 was definitely the lowest the franchise has been

[rugged citrus]

WHO ARE YOU WHY DO YOU HAVE EA ON YOUR NAME

[arctic grove]

this is on the same level as cyberpunk

[arctic grove]

10% for one franchise is actually pretty good when you have as many releases as EA

[arctic grove]

Because he works there

[weak epoch]

you are on acid if you think 2042 is a better game

[rugged citrus]

are you gonna ban me for saying ac42 is bad its just my opinion

[arctic grove]

fifa makes up like 70% of their revenue

or something ridiculous like that

[rugged citrus]

what happened to madden?

[copper fulcrum]

It is, but that's not my point with that message

[arctic grove]

That's because soccer is a really big thing outside the United States

[rugged citrus]

is madden still supported?

[arctic grove]

10% of their revenue is pitiful

[arctic grove]

they rehash the game every year what do you expect

[rugged citrus]

the ac-42 feels more like another DMR

[copper fulcrum]

BF4 was undeniably unplayable within the first 6 months that the game was out. You literally could not fucking play the game.

That was the point of my messagee

[arctic grove]

It's really not cuz that means that Madden would probably have about the same percentage and we all know how popular Madden is so...

BF4 had law suits & was buggy the first year

[hazy vector]

No that's heroes and the other spinoffs. and maybe hardline

[copper fulcrum]

Literally an entire half year the game just would not fucking run

[rugged citrus]

weapon design and quality is great in bf2042 but unfortunately whoever done the lighting effects butchered the weapon designer's work

[arctic grove]

madden is a game targeted at american players

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah no one outside of America cares about Football lmao

[hazy vector]

you mean handegg

[arctic grove]

ofc it will sell less

[arctic grove]

So is Battlefield. The rest of the world doesn't care as much about these kind of games as we do. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[hazy vector]

people care about football, not American football

[arctic grove]

WHAT???!???

are you telling me battlefield is targeted at americans?

[rugged citrus]

i think we gotta raise the slowmode to 15 or 20 secs

[hazy vector]

battlefield USA targeted? how?

[foggy crest]

What innovation ????

[hazy vector]

because...guns i guess?

[rugged citrus]

128 players. huge maps, next generation transport helis

[arctic grove]

do you have any idea what you are talking about in terms of demographics?

[arctic grove]

I mean server count speak for themselves man. Right now East Coast United States has the most players in battlefield. Normally does on any Battlefield.

Followed by West Coast then Central then Europe then Australia then the rest are so minut not worth mentioning

[copper fulcrum]

I have what some would say too many guns in a house...

So maybe

[arctic grove]

people in asia got other things to play that are much more accessible and popular

[copper fulcrum]

Some people would say a .22 isn't a gun tho lol

[rugged citrus]

uhh mods can we raise the slowmode a bit

[hazy vector]

it' a game about war, not texans getting all exited about having a dedicated toilet gun

[arctic grove]

you can say the same for cod

[arctic grove]

You realize you're essentially agreeing with me then right

[rugged citrus]

WE NEED TO INCREASE THE SLOWMODE ANY MOD HERE?

[foggy crest]

128 players is innovation ??? huge maps is innovation and transport heli is innovation what

[arctic grove]

im refuting your point

[hazy vector]

No we don't, it's not even going that fast

[copper fulcrum]

Goldfish.

[arctic grove]

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

[ripe hedge]

No my dude on the contrary, why do you feel so strongly about it? What you don't like?

[arctic grove]

battlefield is NOT a game targeted solely at us players

[hazy vector]

battlefield is "targeted" at people that like going pew pew in a war-ish setting

[copper fulcrum]

Favorite map?

[arctic grove]

You're not though because while you know a good 80% of the world is going to play FIFA, they aren't playing FPS games

[rugged citrus]

the gun's weapon model is great but i just feel that the ac-42 is another dmr, it has a 3 round burst but most of the time i need 2-3 bursts to kill an enemy

[arctic grove]

or maybe the people in asia would rather play f2p shit like crossfire?

[ripe hedge]

Renewal

[rugged citrus]

its terribly underpowered and it needs its burst delay lowered by like 20%

[arctic grove]

Actually in China a lot of games that we play here just banned by their government

[rugged citrus]

but not too much or else we gonna get ac-42 spammers

[arctic grove]

yes

[copper fulcrum]

I can agree that's a good map

But I like Discarded more, prepare for 3 hours of debating as to why we like our favorite maps more. No holds barred. ⚔️

[arctic grove]

i didnt say they werent

[arctic grove]

Okay now games like FIFA are not banned in China so therefore there's a few billion people that are able to purchase FIFA they can't purchase Battlefield.

Follow?

[copper fulcrum]

Joking of course lol

[hazy vector]

you'd have to play FIFA tho

[rugged citrus]

the ak-24 could use a slight rof buff along with the lcmg

[ripe hedge]

Underpowered? It seems the general opinion is that it's too strong since it had better long range performance than AK or M5. Why do you feel is underpowered? Short range?

[arctic grove]

im pretty sure battlefield was banned during bf4 in china

[arctic grove]

Pretty sure you're right

But what I'm getting at is that FIFA has a much bigger market presence than Battlefield. Especially on the international scale

[rugged citrus]

eh, in most battle scenarios like the skyscrapers in hourglass the bursts are too slow and even a pistol can out kill you, burst delay is a tad bit too high

[arctic grove]

yes i never said bf is the biggest franchise to ever exist

fifa is a money printer for ea

[arctic grove]

Exactly so what I'm saying is comparing Battlefield sales percentage to say Madden's sale percentage is a much more fair comparison

[hazy vector]

that'd probably be final fantasy with it's 27 million releases

[ripe hedge]

Honestly I like Renewal because the 2 biomes make for less tiring fights. Also the moments while the gates are opening are always tense 😄

[rugged citrus]

i love orbital, the rocket launch is such a scary sight and it might break or launch, the B1 tower adds a siege of shangai C point kinda place, it feels a lot like caspian border, there is plenty of cover and destruction, the soundtrack is also amazing

[copper fulcrum]

Honestly, I just like wingsuiting across each map, planting 3 C5 on any vehicle that makes the wrongful act of just existing

And then blow them up because they obviously deserve it

[glossy storm]

[arctic grove]

Renewal is probably my favorite for breakthrough

I've had great wins and losses there

[copper fulcrum]

Renewal's last sector is such a fun rush

[ripe hedge]

Same!

[weak epoch]

i dont even wanna rate 2042 maps because I dont pick shiniest of 2 turds

[rugged citrus]

only grudge with most maps in the game is that the soundtrack is VERY hard to hear, i went it the config and set the music volume to 450% and then i can properly hear the below 150 ticket soundtrack on the maps, if any ea dude is here please consider this feedback and raise the volume on ALL the maps except for orbital

[copper fulcrum]

They're better than BF1 maps at least.

[ripe hedge]

Thank you for the feedback!

[weak epoch]

you need help... though i think your trolling

[copper fulcrum]

Nope, I have maybe 300 hours in BF1 and I don't really remember the maps too much

[glossy storm]

2042's OST, I like.

Yeah, hate me all you want.

[copper fulcrum]

Except for Tsaritsyn, that map was just so boring and bad, it stands out so much to me.

I like Orbital, fun 2042 map

[hazy vector]

you're listening for fighting sounds, not music on the map i'd say

[copper fulcrum]

Honestly, the 2042 ost, is a banger after listening to them for about 3 times. The deploy music feels great. Manifest and Breakaway have great music.

[arctic grove]

Yeah the skyscrapers are a real issue. Especially when current game allows people to drop tanks up there

[copper fulcrum]

I find myself throwing signs and head-banging when watching my Russian Hind drop me into combat because of the music

[glossy storm]

Took me around 5 times to finally like 2042's main theme.

[arctic grove]

They need to make the airdrop ceiling for vehicles BELOW the skyscrapers roof.

[hazy vector]

i thought they already did that to some?

[rugged citrus]

bf2042 feels less buggy and more content bland now, once season 1 comes im gonna grind it out, if the devs manage to add scoreboard and legacy features by the time season 1 comes then once the mass influx of players come by season 1 will see all the legacy features and bugs fixed and damn the game will be reborn

[copper fulcrum]

I imagine Season 1 Pass is going to have 100 different levels to grind for

[hazy vector]

there won't be a masive influx, maybe a WoW style thing where people play for a week and then fuck off again on an new expansion pack

[glossy storm]

And when you hear it with earphones on, you can hear the bass in the chorus more clearly. It adds so much, I love it.

[arctic grove]

I'd like more then a Macky skin for my ultimate edition though. I don't really use the guy

[rugged citrus]

but what if after quitting from launch they see most bugs being fixed and a scoreboard and voip and decide to stay now that they got the game fixed and the legacy features back?

[hazy vector]

It won't, they'd have to make all seasons eaqual and they'd shoot themselved in the foot if tey made season one disproportionally large

[hazy vector]

bug fixes are nice, but we need actual content. not skins

[copper fulcrum]

I kinda hope we get Season Badges, sorta like how Battlefield V had Chapter Dog-Tags.

[arctic grove]

I'd kill for more Casper skins, not gonna lie

[copper fulcrum]

Casper needs more skins, yes.

[arctic grove]

for that reason alone everyone has lost faith in dice's competence

[hazy vector]

"we heard your wishes, so a year after release we added toddlers back into the sims 4 after not being there on launch"

and then act like it wasn't planned

[arctic grove]

the fact that they tout a scoreboard, voup and a player profile as new features they are gonna add (wow so revolutionary) is beyond embarrassing and the delay makes the studio seem like a clownfest

[rugged citrus]

bf2042 can be reborn once season 1 comes if the Devs fix more bugs and add the legacy features, this game will turn the tables around, i dont mind if they have to delay the updates and seasons to make sure it works, if they get season 1 in before players forget the game (rn most players left but didnt forget the game) then once they come back to see season 1 they will see how the game has got fixed and legacy features back in, im repeating this because this might be the only way the game can be revived, if any dice/ea dudes are reading this then remember this game can still perform a 180

[hazy vector]

the fact that a game can even be reborn is not a good look

[arctic grove]

this game wont be saved any time soon

[foggy crest]

This game doesn't work properly on 1050 and 1060 GPU it's not optimised and they are most common cpu

[arctic grove]

you are only kidding yourself by saying that

[foggy crest]

Not everyone has 3070ss

[weak epoch]

I can but I have my doubts dice will invest the time and effort

[hazy vector]

everyone shit down the devs neck when the shitpile called no mans sky was released and then years after release they made it decent

[arctic grove]

the game has so many damn issues that they would need to revamp it from the ground up to be considered a good bf

[hazy vector]

people that were there for the start won't forget

[foggy crest]

U again forgot about optimization

[hazy vector]

you can only hope it drags on for so long people buy into the game so far into the cycle they never experienced the beginning

[hot horizon]

oh nice tried the game, havent played in 2 weeks... breakthrough: 28v28 and the game was in midgame already 😄

[rugged citrus]

1050 and 1060's are the oldest gpus on the market my dude, if you have them you cant run any AAA title not just bf2042

[arctic grove]

also stop bringing up them putting back in their stupid legacy features and touting it as some reason to herald them as saviors

[rare rose]

So hard to find 128vs128

[arctic grove]

I hope so, I really do.

Still full of doubt though

this shit should have been there at LAUNCH

[arctic grove]

which is inexcusable

[rugged citrus]

ea execs decided to rush it for christmas sales, simple!

[hazy vector]

there's still people playing on <1000 series (and AMD equivelants) cards

ofcourse almost anything runs like ass

[foggy crest]

1060 6gb can run almost all the the current games

[arctic grove]

are you telling me you cant get a scoreboard and voip done in 2 weeks dev time?

[arctic grove]

That's not an excuse because at that stage at the game development all they're doing is refining and polishing the game left out features like VoIP and scoreboard were never intended to be in it so don't blame it on EA execs when it was intentional game design from day one

[foggy crest]

But Battlefield 2042 it is not optimised

[arctic grove]

especially with a high caliber studio like dice?

is dice some indie dev now?

[hazy vector]

sort of, they need 5 studios for this game

[arctic grove]

i was embarrassed to even read out their semi roadmap they put out

[hazy vector]

so the quality of a understaffed indie dev is there

[rugged citrus]

it IS intentional game design

[foggy crest]

Game design 😂😂😂😂😂

[arctic grove]

i hope you know that ea is not the one in control of design decisions

[rugged citrus]

still, rushing it for christmas sales was the reason

[hazy vector]

like CP2077 game design where they forget to add the game to the game and just get carried away with the lighting?

[arctic grove]

dice are solely responsible for 80% of the games issues

[hazy vector]

and EA rushes them because money

[arctic grove]

Yes but you're sitting there blaming the lack of these features on EA execs pushing the game out for Christmas when these are things that would have been way way way finished before that time even came.

At that point we should only have graphical issues if it was crunch time for Christmas

[arctic grove]

Correct

also a scoreboard and voip shouldnt take 4 months just to be implemented by a 700+ AAA employee studio

there are simply zero excuses for this

[rugged citrus]

ea's execs are responsible for forcing DICE to make a BR game then turning into a normal BF game

[hazy vector]

scoreboard is 70% graphical design and 30% writing some number crunching code

[rugged citrus]

EA told dice to copy whats popular during development or else they wouldnt fund bf2042

[arctic grove]

yea sure man and ea is also responsible for hiring amateurs that cant even get a scoreboard right thats been done in bf for over 15 years

[rugged citrus]

+1

[hazy vector]

aren't all the old dice devs gone?

[arctic grove]

That's all heresay and has absolutely no evidence.

[foggy crest]

🏳️🥲

[arctic grove]

essentially yeah

[rare rose]

🤣🤣

[rugged citrus]

it kinda explains most of the problems of the game, specialists, call-ins, they were all supposed to be from a battle royale

[hazy vector]

it's pretty typical for EA to buy a studio and then eventually fuck it over with re-organising

[arctic grove]

dice has been an ea studio for years though

decades even

[hazy vector]

ehhh call ins are more a glorified "need artilery here" that the squad leaders used to be able to do when we had commander modes

[arctic grove]

Still speculation. It could also just be piss poor game design with them trying to use assets of a battle royale because they think it'll bring people into a Battlefield game just because there's ideas that have been borrowed from successful Battle Royale does not mean that they were going to create Battlefield as a battle royale especially when the Battle Royale mode from Battlefield 5 didn't do that well and they ended up pulling development of it.

[hazy vector]

you've been able to drop in buggies for several games

but now we can do it with tanks and the world is collapsing

[rugged citrus]

i know but you cant blame the small devs, blame the execs who are in charge of the design decisions

[arctic grove]

You'd be talking about the biggest bonehead publisher decision to force a developer to make a battle royale game out of a game that already had a failed Battle Royale mode

[arctic grove]

But you're wrong EA executives are not in charge of design decisions for a developer's game. That's just not how it's done dude.

[rugged citrus]

i didnt say EA execs, i said ANY execs

[arctic grove]

i mean according to tom hendersons development timeline they really did think that another br was fine

[hazy vector]

bruh, we can litterally read you mentioned EA execs

[rugged citrus]

yeah i changed my mind and said any execs

[foggy crest]

If they really want to make a battle royale it either should be free and if paid one atleast it should have quality and there is already free to play quality br games present

[arctic grove]

Yeah and they probably did intend to put a battle royale mode in but to say that the entire game was going to be a battle royale is naive because I can't think of a single Battle Royale that's been paid to play for the last three or so years

pubg was up until recently

[foggy crest]

Tom Henderson words doesn't work here 🥲

[arctic grove]

Yeah but pubg was paid to play when it first came out because it was literally the first battle royale

and yet it was still top 5 on steam

[hazy vector]

it wasn't afaik. mods existed

[arctic grove]

Because unlike Battlefield 2042 pub g's development has increased and become better more successful and added things to the game not taking them away unless they were broken or stupid and pointless

[hazy vector]

and last man standing games as a genre also existed

[arctic grove]

and they actually fixed the game

[foggy crest]

It had constant 300k players when it wasn't free

[hazy vector]

minecraft hunger games

[arctic grove]

There's a difference between Last Man standing and the Battle Royale concept of a closing circle till two men stand was invented by pubg and before that it was an arma mod. But both were created by the same guy

[fallen yoke]

If they make this game F2P, which they may well do, as otherwise they'd have referred to this rumour and quashed it by now.... then I see a lot of paying players leaving. $70 minimum is not morally right, if everyone else gets it free, just because they couldn't produce a fun game

[desert elbow]

Why would people play it if it isn’t fun?

[hazy vector]

they can't respond to every rumor because that's cause chaos

[desert elbow]

but yeah I can see why people would be upset

[hazy vector]

TF2 went free to play and it got more players. untill it got filled with bots

[foggy crest]

Henderson words doesn't work here

[desert elbow]

That’s a good point

[hazy vector]

i think Team fortres two was...40 bucks on release? or maybe 35 in the orange box before it became F2P

man that game is from 2007, it's been a while

[prisma anvil]

Afternoon lads

[desert elbow]

Good afternoon

[grizzled whale]

morning singular lad

[prisma anvil]

How's it going?...

[grizzled whale]

almost good

[prisma anvil]

Ah yes... Speeed

[grizzled whale]

bout to take a break from 2042 for a bit, lets hope dying light 2 can live up to its predecessor

[prisma anvil]

Wait... It's only 27.6gigs?. Damn...

[grizzled whale]

its 43

[foggy crest]

I don't know but this game gameplay feels more boring than Battlefield games

[grizzled whale]

have you played 1?

[prisma anvil]

Oh . Is the 27 the part thats downloaded?

[grizzled whale]

yea

[foggy crest]

I tried left it because I got bored

[grizzled whale]

i played the shit out of it

[prisma anvil]

What dl1?

[grizzled whale]

so i got high hopes for dl2

[foggy crest]

I hope it's more fun than 1 for you

[prisma anvil]

Heard the story isn't really a step up from 1... But the gameplay is good

[fallen yoke]

A lot don't really anymore do they

[prisma anvil]

Which was mostly why people played dl1 to be fair ..

[plush coyote]

hopefully it isnt too repetative considering its 500+ hours to do all the missions

[grizzled whale]

its 500 hours to 100% the game

[prisma anvil]

It ain't... Main story with some side shit is like 30-40hrs

All side missions and story would be like 50-60 I'd guess

[grizzled whale]

400 of those are probably searching for a bullet casing collectable somewhere on the map

[fallen yoke]

Agreed. Its just.... well, yes, boring. They made a BF game boring. Not rubbish, not broken beyond repair, just boring...

[grizzled whale]

someone didnt read the conversation

[prisma anvil]

Let's see, I'm saving up again for dl2, will probably have the money in a week or two, probably a patch and some reviews by then too

[foggy crest]

Don't use rubbish for Battlefield games it's not allowed to use

[fallen yoke]

Or DL2? Well when I read a game is boring in a BF2042 channel I naturally believe its about the game, since its correct

[fallen yoke]

Will I get banned?

[vast linden]

https://youtu.be/PkeKSlqgFk0
This make the state of the recent bf lear

[prisma anvil]

Eyo skip, did ya ever find out what those 4 bars on the board were exactly?

[grizzled whale]

nope

[prisma anvil]

[grizzled whale]

i asked alex 2 times yesterday but got flat out ignored

[prisma anvil]

Bruhh

[foggy crest]

Yes read the long lyrics from song writer mozzy in server news

[prisma anvil]

Off topic convos's?... Defo ban

[wintry mortar]

everyone I know has stopped playing or refunded 😎
just requested refund 😎😎

[edgy oriole]

This hotfix they did today made the servers so hot. finna make me act up.

[fallen yoke]

So basically in a months time this channel will be as censored as NK, China and Russia's own in-house social media platforms with only sycophantic fans singing the praise and gushing over the game and devs? Is that what you're saying?

[prisma anvil]

Also, about 500 of my dollari doos are stuck in space cuz of a failed bank transaction..... pain

[arctic grove]

Not quite, but close. There's no outright banishment, but they already try to shout you down

[grizzled whale]

oh damn DL2 is beefy

barely over 60fps on high

[fallen yoke]

Ah well, I'll just need to get shouted down then 😇

[arctic grove]

Its a chonky game

[prisma anvil]

With or without ray tracing?

[arctic grove]

If they dumb the game down with hot fixes enough, it might work better 🤣

[fallen yoke]

Let us know what thoughts are on DL2 are. I don't bother buying games straight away now. #ThanksDICE

[prisma anvil]

Give it a week

[wintry mortar]

There are some certain special things you could say pertaining to Sundance and the game's "lore" that will get you yeeted

[prisma anvil]

Unbiased reviews should be out by then

[wintry mortar]

I'm just glad they managed to implement that lore before anything like a scoreboard

[arctic grove]

For COD and Battlefield, this the competition isnt who but the best game, but who has the shittest game

[fallen yoke]

Unbiased views are a legacy feature in BF2042 at least

[arctic grove]

Or if you question month long vacations

[prisma anvil]

Not really, game came out... In a few days most decent reviewers tore it a new one

[wintry mortar]

The right to question is a legacy feature

[hazy vector]

anyone but game journo's like IGN probably did

[arctic grove]

Yes comrade swiper

[fallen yoke]

In this channel they are going that way

[grizzled whale]

theres no setting for it, only ray tracing flashlight

[hazy vector]

"nothing works, 9/10"

[arctic grove]

With the games constantly crashing, being able to play the game is a legacy feature

[wintry mortar]

"game" is a legacy feature

[prisma anvil]

Huh.... Is there something like dlss?

[wintry mortar]

Now we get "lore"

[grizzled whale]

its there, but idk how to enable it

[arctic grove]

Thank God for the lore

That's nowhere in the game

[grizzled whale]

now i gotta say, you start out in a forest area, i think the fps will go up in the city

[wintry mortar]

I am extremely happy we got a mini movie and "lore" and POV journal articles and all this amazing story that shows up in the game all the time, like No-Pats, and how the factions are still US and Russia

[prisma anvil]

I mean, depends dude ... For example, I've been here since day 1 and have been very clear about my disdain for the game....I only caught a mute once and that was for unrelated reasons.... They don't mind you bashing the game.. but follow it up with criticisms and how you'd change things... Basically treat it like a debate or a discussion...

[wintry mortar]

Atleast we got lore people. All for the extensive lore, who needs a game? I love lore. I just rewatch the mini movie and think about Sundance all day

[arctic grove]

Me too. The character development is top notch. I now know exactly why we have people with names now!

[hazy vector]

Truly we need "meet the [class]" like videos like we had with TF2

[arctic grove]

I mean I always felt that there was this huge void in every previous Battlefield title and now I realized that it was because they didn't have specialists

[hazy vector]

a multiplayer game that's basically just fighting on a battlefield shouldn't be lore heavy. it makes innesesairy fluff

[arctic grove]

The clone wars

[prisma anvil]

Imo right, like exodus, we should've got short intro lore cutscene esque videos for all the specialists pre launch... Ala siege

[hazy vector]

i don't need to know the 6 page backstory of the skyscraper we jump in from

[fallen yoke]

Yeah that was because you posted a mindless racist 'joke' 🙄 I remember that...

[prisma anvil]

Yep

It was in poor taste, I know

[wintry mortar]

I think they should just scrap the whole game and come out with more great No-Pat journal entries every week, and give the specialists more extra special qualities

[fallen yoke]

Yeah I get that because some emotive words they dislike despite being in context or constructive

but* not because

[prisma anvil]

Just don't be a twat, don't argue with mods and you'll be fine...

[wintry mortar]

I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for a No-Pats update 😩😩😩

[prisma anvil]

Note-pads

[wintry mortar]

so glad they were included in the game and the factions weren't made US and Russia

Truly a lover letter to battlefield veterans

[hazy vector]

...wut?

[fallen yoke]

Is there someone called Pat that the devs don't like then?

[wintry mortar]

The devs hate pat.

[glossy storm]

S1 content: The entirety of 2042 is revealed to be a nightmare, and they just resume BFV's live service.

[hazy vector]

2042 is just the final final expansion to BF4

[prisma anvil]

Oh god

[wintry mortar]

I'm just waiting to find out who Pat is and what he did that the devs don't like him that much

[fallen yoke]

😂

[dim blade]

I love it when i ask someone to take a screenshot and they photograph their screen with their phone

[hazy vector]

but they're probably going to use it as a lame excuse as to why we're never geting a 2142 reboot/continuation

[dim blade]

Oh wait, no i dont, how the hell do some people still not know how to screenshot lol

[prisma anvil]

I mean technically, April 1 hasn't come yet.... This could be a very elaborate prank...

[hazy vector]

Well if they have a console and no easy way setup to drop it into discord, not weird

[wintry mortar]

Theres an extra special shortcut, called refunding the game 😎 all my friends did it 😎 I just did it 😎 everyone is 😎

[dim blade]

Yeah well, it was very much a desktop PC running Windows 10

[arctic grove]

Theres an extra special shortcut, called refunding the game 😎 all my friends did it 😎 I just did it 😎 everyone is 😎

[hazy vector]

and if you have multipel screens and don't use snipping (but instead print screen) it'll make some fucked picture with all monitors on it

[fallen yoke]

Because DICE will be sold on after this shi. Sorry, performance. So they'll need to go to grass roots for the next one, or not make another one

[hazy vector]

sold on to who?

microsoft?

[dim blade]

If you Ctrl PrntScrn it will screenshot the display that your cursor is currently on

[prisma anvil]

Nah, worst case, they'll just be absorbed into the star wars or apex teams.

[hazy vector]

EA would lose the last bit of the team that has made the frostbite engine, that's also used n other games

[silver lantern]

Dying light 2 is very fun

[fallen yoke]

Someone'll buy it. Have you ever heard the saying , money for old rope?

[wintry mortar]

excited for more Sundance lore, right everybody?

[fallen yoke]

Tell us more!

[hazy vector]

no

[wintry mortar]

can't wait for more lore updates to come out before game quality updates

[silver lantern]

Volatiles are sexy

https://tenor.com/view/dying-light2-hunting-volatile-scary-tracking-gif-21727198

[fallen yoke]

Is it atmospheric, and look good? Immersive?

[prisma anvil]

I wanna know about angel and why is he such a cheerful lad..... Inb4 they talk about his ptsd from X battles and the attempted humor is his coping mechanism

[glossy storm]

Yeah, can't wait for them to get caught inside a turbine, or something.

[fallen yoke]

Is firearm handling better this time round?

[silver lantern]

No guns

But better melee

[fallen yoke]

He was a character from Fortnite at first.

[wintry mortar]

That's where the game is rn, dice using fishing poles tryna get it out

[dim blade]

But can you do a spinning roundhouse kick while jumping off a roof and kick a zombies head off?

If yes then im buying Dying Light 2

[grizzled whale]

wait no guns in DL2?\

[prisma anvil]

Aren't they all?

[glossy storm]

He has those TF2 Pyro lenses on, IYKWIM.

[wintry mortar]

if Sundance doesn't have another minority by next month I think I'm gonna cry

[silver lantern]

No
Just bows and crossbows
And 1 makeshift shotgun

[prisma anvil]

Sorry, tf2 is waay before my time... I just know a few memes from that game

[dim blade]

TF2 was my main shit from 2009 til like 2013

[fallen yoke]

Wow, thats, errm....

[grizzled whale]

No guns in dying light, thats just dumb

[dim blade]

I remember when the game went f2p and we tried to convince everyone at school to download it lol

[prisma anvil]

Again, my first big mulitplayer I played was bf1... That should indicate how new I am to this

[hazy vector]

What does that even mean

[desert elbow]

Guns were never a big part of the first game

[silver lantern]

Yeah melee was always the focus

Enemies don't aim bot you anymore

[grizzled whale]

Still to remove them completely is a mistake

[prisma anvil]

True but makeshift guns would've been cool... And maybe the apex of guns you can find is like a old world glock or hunting rifle....

[desert elbow]

Did you play the first game?

[fallen yoke]

Because the guns in the first game weren't great. Handling , etc. afterthought. Good there was only three types. Should have done something similar here and made them a rare commodity

[prisma anvil]

Although I did hear someone say a makeshift shotgun is in

[grizzled whale]

Several hundred hours of it yes

[wintry mortar]

If I told you I'd get banned for talking about the lore lmao, doesn't matter at this point tho, I'm refunding.

[desert elbow]

Then you’d know they were extremely janky and underpowered, still fun though

[glossy storm]

For reference: https://youtu.be/WUhOnX8qt3I

[grizzled whale]

If you hit headshots they werent

[prisma anvil]

They were.... But still, no guns..

[fallen yoke]

Yeah, no guns, I might give this one a miss

[desert elbow]

They were because for every shot, another 10 zombies would show up

[fallen yoke]

Another game trying to reinvent the wheel 'too much'

[wintry mortar]

They haven't even invented the base game yet, it's a work in progress. Well actually "progress" probably isn't the best word

[grizzled whale]

gotta say, they nailed the sound design

[prisma anvil]

Dude yes..... That would be something right?. wink wink

[fallen yoke]

They'd have still had some guns in the city, I fail to believe there are zero in that world. So its a bit of a cop out to include firearm mechanics. DL1 was good as the guns were scarce and bullets run out, etc. rare. And penalties for loud gunshots were great. But to not have any....

[desert elbow]

I feel like the nights are a bit too bright in dying light 2, it’s definitely not as scary as the first game in that department

[grizzled whale]

hearing a zombie walking around and breathing before you can see it in a forest feels good

[fallen yoke]

BF2042 is a work in progress mate. I expect DL2 in dev since 2016 to be finished .

[prisma anvil]

They did say there were toning down the night gameplay.... They shouldn't have to be fair... Should've kept it just as scary and nerve wracking but given us more incentives to go out at night

Still remember nearly having a heart attack that first night out in dl1

[desert elbow]

Animations look a bit odd too, the animations itself are amazing but the way they are presented are odd, it’s weird seeing your character swing a blade diagonally, definitely doesn’t have as much punch as the first game

[wintry mortar]

it's like calling a totaled car a work in progress. Refund.

[prisma anvil]

Hows's the game stability?...

[fallen yoke]

😂

[fallen yoke]

Well, it turns on, right? Thats the barometer for 21st century game design now isn't it...

[wintry mortar]

who else here for the No-Pat journals 😍😍🤩😩 just can't get enough

[desert elbow]

Exactly, the rooftops are great for that. Basically stay off the roofs and you should be fine while going on the ground should be a tough time, I can’t comment on it yet though since I haven’t played it

[prisma anvil]

True ... 10/10 IGN ... Nah but fr tho.... I heard the review version was buggy for some.... They did say the launch patch would fix a lot of those issues so I was asking

[fallen yoke]

Thats a standard feedback for all games

[wintry mortar]

Did you see the guy streaming it with like 4 commentators and he gets stuck under the map and they're all just like wowwww cooool, funny cause it was EA sponsored

[prisma anvil]

2042?... Or dl2?

[fallen yoke]

"The review/tech/supporter/preview version was buggy, and a day one patch should fix it"

[wintry mortar]

2042

[prisma anvil]

Oh yeah that match right?... The one they organised?

[wintry mortar]

Yea EA hosted lmao

[fallen yoke]

Lol

[prisma anvil]

I mean.... What'd you expect?... They werent gonna diss the game anyway

[fallen yoke]

What an own goal on EAs part. Lets host a tournament for a broken game and have it break during streaming 😂😂😂

If EA and DICE were a football team they'd be bankrupt by now

[prisma anvil]

I remember seeing a tweet or something along the lines of .. how will you guys tabulate data when the game's scoreboard is dogshit?

[wintry mortar]

it's ok tho because everyone loves the lore

[fallen yoke]

If they were doctors they'd be on manslaughter charges by now.

Oh wait, too far? Sorry

[prisma anvil]

Again.... Like I've said before ... This has just been me since 2042 launch

[fallen yoke]

Hope I don't get silenced by the gods of Discordia

[wintry mortar]

everytime I exit a vehicle and I can't ADS, (which is literally half the time) I just rewatch the mini movie, reread some no-pat journals, and think about how cool Sundance is and then I'm all happy and smiling again

[hazy vector]

you seem really hung up on sundance

[wintry mortar]

Well so is dice with all the amazing lore they keep giving her that if I mention I get banned

[desert elbow]

Wasn’t that fixed like 3 months ago

[arctic grove]

Took the words from my mouth.

I can't wait for some lore on the other specialists

[hazy vector]

Supposedly yes

[wintry mortar]

No. And you can't ADS again until you kit swap, sometimes multiple times

[desert elbow]

Yeah, that was fixed ages ago

[hazy vector]

probably reduced to "a very small number of people experiecce the bug"

[fallen yoke]

Hes in love

[wintry mortar]

Happened to me yesterday. I didn't play today. Because I refunded.

[arctic grove]

Wasn't

[desert elbow]

It was though

[hazy vector]

they said they fixed it, doesn't mean they actually did 100%

[desert elbow]

Most likely

[wintry mortar]

Happens to me all the time still

[arctic grove]

Maybe it was "fixed" but it wasn't fixed

[desert elbow]

Strange, used to happen to me 4/5 times and I completely forgot about it since you mentioned it

[fallen yoke]

It'll be half a year before the game is in a saleable state (is what the devs are telling us with their new timelines).

[mystic horizon]

Didn't you get a refund though?

[desert elbow]

That totally makes sense

[hazy vector]

the game is already frequently on sale, i don't expect much

[wintry mortar]

Today. Happened before today. When I still played.

[fallen yoke]

Yeah, oops 😜 he didn't really. Just makes him feel better saying it

[hazy vector]

didn't it go on a 40-50% saalready

[dusty raptor]

bf 2042 is actually quite fun

the gunplay superb

[desert elbow]

Yeah only like a month after release

[dusty raptor]

networking can get effy at time tho

[wintry mortar]

So genius. You guys are all Sherlock Holmes huh. Refunded TODAY, as previously said.

[fallen yoke]

Calm down! It was a joke. You clearly still have the game as you're so angry

Again, 'joke'. Relax matr

[wintry mortar]

Nah I'm still in this discord is why I'm upset

[fallen yoke]

😂

[wintry mortar]

waiting to get banned for mentioning the lore

[hazy vector]

the "lore" or some bullshit about the way they identify?

[dusty raptor]

i dont get the hate to playing the game tho like if u say u enjoy 2042 on reddit people will flame u for enjoying it

[fallen yoke]

I'm waiting to get banned for a variety of reasons

[dusty raptor]

like what lvlcap said i enjoy the game for what it is it still battlefield at its core

[wintry mortar]

Ssshhhhh

[fallen yoke]

I play it in small doses. Partly as I want to get my monies worth, and also that there are pockets of fun contained within it. In a sea of misery there are some fun moments. Now THAT should be an IGN review......

[desert elbow]

Chill it’s both lore

[wintry mortar]

It was only fun for me playing with friends. They all switched games / refunded, like most people. So now I'm getting my moneys' worth by getting my money 😂

[fallen yoke]

😂😂😂I tried, but played too much....and for too long a time.

So will get what I can from it, move on, and no longer buy a DICE game until a few months later

[wintry mortar]

Oh people have complained their way through the hour limit for refunds

[desert elbow]

Yeah the usual process at this point

Surprised they still release broken games but as long as it’s fixed in the end I’m cool with it

[pine roost]

That’s not the mentality we should be having

[high mantle]

So I scrolled a bit

[pine roost]

Waiting 6 months for what should have been the launch version is not ok

[high mantle]

I'm so confused about the lore thing; there's clearly something I missed and apparently talking about lore of this game gets one banned?

[pine roost]

That’s how they get away with it

[high mantle]

I'm out of the loop

[desert elbow]

Well you don’t need to have that mentality, but it’s mine

From my view, just don’t buy the game till it’s in a state you’d enjoy

[hazy vector]

my best guess people are calling their opinion about the gender identity of sundance lore?

if that's the case, it's understandable considering how people handle the topid

[desert elbow]

People complaining about the representation most of the time

[mystic horizon]

The lore really needed a campaign

[dim blade]

Release ASAP and worry about fixing later is unfortunantely very common amongst game devs right now

[wintry mortar]

I'm just glad that when they released the game broken, they managed to give us some more lore updates before any game updates

[hazy vector]

there will always be patches after a games release, but this was pretty sad that it's still the norm to be this bad

[pine roost]

I’m glad we got penguins before we got gnomes

[forest spear]

this game should get removed absolute garbage and embarrassing development

[dim blade]

Like the term "Gone gold" today means that the game launches and is microtransaction ready

[wintry mortar]

Guys I just thought of another special piece of lore for Sundance: she needs to be obese! (add 250hp)

[forest spear]

also can i get my refund???

[hazy vector]

not if you played to long

[wintry mortar]

Request on steam and complain there enough, you will

[dim blade]

yeah steam allowed refunds post 2 hours

[wintry mortar]

People have gotten refunds past the hour limit

[hazy vector]

only works if you bought it on steam

[pine roost]

I’ve complained plenty but had no luck so far, I’ve basically given up

[forest spear]

tried like 20-30 times and steam says i violated the hour rules

[wintry mortar]

People have complained and got the refund past the hour limit, I don't think everyone is getting it tho unfortunately

[hazy vector]

people getting the refund doesn't mean everyone got the refund

[forest spear]

fuck dice and ea, like cyberpunk atleast let us refund
