battlefield-2042

[remote rover]

Gun customization is honestly my gripe with the old system. I didn’t like how only certain classes could use certain guns. Gadgets and stuff I completely understand

[echo yew]

they're probably going to give them more tactical cosmetics or faction lock them

at best? they might lock them into classes

[unique shoal]

That's how it in a army, u have roles

[fiery shoal]

they already are categorized, they're just isnt a locked loadout system in place in 2042

[remote rover]

Battlefield isn’t a mil-sim, now is it? It’s a arcade shooter.

[dense terrace]

ye they are but its barely visible in game

[hard plume]

All bf games are a disappointment at first, kinda like sex actually

[dense terrace]

its a slide jump shooter!

[unique shoal]

It's not a mil sim yes, but it's not a arcade either

[dense terrace]

no spread jump

[fiery shoal]

which is why i think having specialists is perfectly fine, they just made the entire loadout system open, which wasnt the case before, and imo thats the bigger problem

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 5 day one was a 5 out of 5 for me cause the features
Battlefield 2042 was a 3/5 cause lack of features

[echo yew]

gameplay can be arcadey, doesn't mean it can't be inmersive from a visual and atmospheric standpoint

[hard plume]

I personally love the open system. More creativity

[remote rover]

I just want the gun portion to be open, but the gadgets and stuff I think should be restricted.

[unique shoal]

Naa bro
After killing 50 people in a match the player model be like
Today I'm proud

[fiery shoal]

i dont think its BAD, i just like locked more and considering its been locked for previous game, its kind of a staple for the franchise

[unique shoal]

Gadgets have to be locked

[remote rover]

Guns shouldn’t. Gadgets should.

[unique shoal]

Guns open sure

[hard plume]

That’s fair, personally i find myself using gadget’s i normally wouldn’t, like c5 and spawn beacons

[unique shoal]

🤝

[fiery shoal]

spawn beacons best gadget in game, and no one uses them

then they complain about walking in open fields as infantry... like damn thats kind your own fault at this point

[dense terrace]

lol wat? i thought ton of ppl use them in big modes

[hard plume]

Cept waaaaaay on top of mountains or towers far away

[dense terrace]

they are useless in tdm tho so i dont use em

[remote rover]

I have never used one. I like walking and running around.

[unique shoal]

And why can i only spawn on them once ? While my squad can infinitily

[remote rover]

Balance probably.

[fiery shoal]

ive not noticed a squadmate using beacons that i can spawn on, so anecdotal

[unique shoal]

But how ?

[dense terrace]

in 128 modes i only use spawn beacon keep spawning behind and farming kills. only thing u can do as solo for bigfuns

[hard plume]

Lol

[unique shoal]

Just put two beacon

[remote rover]

The squad thing is stupid. But everyone only able to use it once before having to replace it is a good idea

[dense terrace]

last time i played 128 was a month ago tho. its so bad ( i dont count playing as a drone for the beanie, forced 128 breathru for dat)

[hard plume]

I kinda like that but also hate that

[remote rover]

Would sorta kinda prevent some camping. Or maybe cause more of it I dunnoZ

[unique shoal]

Then it should be 4 (or the squad size ) so the whole squad can spawn once

[fiery shoal]

a beacon should have infinite use for everyone as long as it doesnt break, i fucking hate spawning and having to spend 2-3 seconds putting down another beacon before i can do anything else

[unique shoal]

No a time limit is fine (~3min)

[dense terrace]

infinite use and more visible coz sometimes its fucked up how easy it is to hide it.

[fiery shoal]

lol i love how often people cant find it

[dense terrace]

eyy u can be on the other side of that one day

[fiery shoal]

well thankfully no one uses them so i dont have to bother xD

[unique shoal]

Or u just haven't noticed

[light flint]

Morning guys my birthday today!

[fiery shoal]

ehh, if they are using beacons and leaving their obj taken for a long time then idk why they are using beacons on the first place

[fiery shoal]

[light flint]

thx!

[unique shoal]

Cya 💤
PS happy birthday

[light flint]

thx

[remote rover]

Happy birthday, I suppose.

[coral yoke]

Hi everyone. Really struggling to get into servers (conquest and breakthrough) in 2042 - stuck on "waiting for players to join".
I'm playing on Series X with crossplay off (don't wanna get constantly picked off by PC players).

Anyone else got this issue?

[dire ibex]

Issue is called wanting to play a dead game

Although I do wonder why I get to hear either people claiming they can't find servers at all and at the same time players who say that they have to wait less than a minute

Guess it really boils down to region, time and mode

[tacit plover]

It can be dead but i never wait more than 20-30 secs to get a game so im fine with that

[remote rover]

Same here. I don’t have any issues

[slow terrace]

Not enough players to start the game

I believe there aren't many people playing today with crossplay turned off

[coral yoke]

Thank you everyone! I though the game would fill up empty slots with bots and start anyway?

[remote rover]

Maybe try offline against only bots. Better performance too.

[fierce gull]

crossplay off is a little buggy and not enough people are with crossplay

[slow terrace]

there is a specific number of players that the game needs to start the game

and the rest is filled with bots

[coral yoke]

Do you have xplay on or off? Thank you!

[coral yoke]

Do you have xplay on or off? Thank you!

[remote rover]

X play?

[coral yoke]

Many thanks everyone, I'll try turning crossplay off and if mouse and keyboard players aren't too OP I'll keep it that way

[coral yoke]

Crossplay :)

[slow terrace]

Have you tried downloading the Xbox One version?

[arctic grove]

L game fr

[tacit plover]

On

[slow terrace]

i'm on ps5 but i play the ps4 version

[coral yoke]

I was literally just in a party with a friend who just did that by mistake - I think there's more people on old gen but game is graphically worse and 64 player only, I'm not interested in that tbh

[coral yoke]

Thank you

[slow terrace]

anyway you would be playing the One X version

[fresh grail]

How can I switch teams in solo/coop

[wooden tusk]

Tried to play the game again today, the loadout bug is still resetting all my loadouts after every other game and there's still the bug where flares pop late and you still get hit with an AA rocket. feels like nothing has changed since December

[slow terrace]

i use vpn to connect to US East server

the connection is more or less but at least I can find players

anyway it's kind of ridiculous to have to do this to be able to play 🤡

[coral yoke]

Thank you again for the help

[coral yoke]

Yes it's really sad. Impossible to audit player numbers by platform / region without a server browser. There's currently 0 players on Xbox Series Portal btw lmao

Dead game indeed. Maybe they'll resuscitate it, but for now it's really bad

[remote rover]

I really enjoy the game personally.

[slow terrace]

me too

[coral yoke]

Do you have crossplay on or off?

[wooden tusk]

I enjoyed it at first, but there's just too many little things that weigh down the experience and make me exhausted with the game. like death by a thousand cuts

[coral yoke]

I do enjoy it when I can get into a server and I would even more so if it was more feature complete

[remote rover]

I don’t know. I don’t mess with settings unless it’s graphical settings

[coral yoke]

I assume you do then, since it's enabled by default. Thank you

[night edge]

Trying to play again and its stuck loading again

Ffs why does it do this inwasted 90$ for it to not load

[remote rover]

Unfortunate.

[night edge]

Like fr anyone know why?

[arctic grove]

dwindling player counts

[remote rover]

Maybe connection issues.

[night edge]

I loases in

But new issue i cant see any players there just invisible

[arctic grove]

So, EA was scared of Halo? Am I reading Tom's article right?

[fierce gull]

so he saying all of this was EA's fault?

[hard plume]

Ironic, considering halo is doing just as bad

[wide violet]

how was that your take away? its mainly covid and poor management

[arctic grove]

Because it's the one that blows up in your face?

[undone pier]

c

[arctic grove]

d

[fierce gull]

still waiting for hardline to be added to portal

[arctic grove]

Won't happen at this rate. Hoping for a Hardline 2 tbh. My favorite BF game all time

[amber heath]

balls

[fierce gull]

but we need hardline in portal

[amber heath]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/847527671847845953/872748515258933258/image0-15.gif

[fierce gull]

how am I gonna do Marines vs Robbers in remake of downtown

How am I gonna do Robbers vs WW2 germany in battle of the bulge

[arctic grove]

With your imagination

[fierce gull]

im gonna try to ask every portal dev in existence

I haven't met one just yet

I have only talked to others

[fleet oar]

so we get a bundle but for being gold but i cant even play the game since all the bugs ruined the game every time i shoot my gun the screen goes black. any one else experience this or seen that it has been fixed

[remote rover]

I have not had that happen

[fleet oar]

yeah it sucks i guess the xbox and ps versions are more stable then pc

[cyan trout]

Make sure your gfx card is up to date

[fierce gull]

you have a Nvidia card?

[fleet oar]

yes i do and its always up to date

[fierce gull]

Have you done the update that was released recently?

[fleet oar]

yup last time i played the vehicles where invisible so i just stoped playing

[waxen violet]

Whats the best way to annoy people that play vehicles the entire game?

[arctic grove]

Why is the game telling me to go through menu narration, accessibility etc. again? as if i just bought the game

[fierce gull]

teammates or enemies?

[waxen violet]

Enemies

[fierce gull]

C5 drones

[waxen violet]

It happens if you delete the settings save or if it gets corrupted somehow

[waxen violet]

Now what about helicopters?

[arctic grove]

welp, im going through the very first ai misison again for some reason

[fierce gull]

soflam

[waxen violet]

Alright thanks

[fierce gull]

👍

[arctic grove]

EWW, my loadouts reset

[arctic grove]

halo's fault

[light flint]

what happen

the guy ban?

[wanton magnet]

Soflam.

[woeful python]

is the weapons designer alex still on here?

???

are the devs not on here anymore?

[wet lance]

We're they even here in the first place?

[tight tapir]

You just got moderated son

[woeful python]

what did I do?

[tight tapir]

I'm guessing you tagged a dev

[woeful python]

oh didn't know that was bad sorry haven't been on the server in a while and was asking if the devs were still on didn't mean to ping

[tight tapir]

I didn't delete your message.

[shy bronze]

There’s this really neat thing on discord called disabling notifications for a server

As well as @ mentions

[arctic grove]

[fallen yarrow]

This happens frequently, it will reset ALL your settings and force you to go through the unskippable tutorial again. It's the main reason I uninstalled the game. Good luck

[barren crater]

TRASH TIER GAME

[arctic grove]

Cope

[barren crater]

have you unlocked your " tactical beanie " yet ?

[arctic grove]

I need like two more lol

[copper fulcrum]

I got it in 3 matches, easy shit really.

[arctic grove]

True

[barren crater]

what an embarrassment

[desert elbow]

Ngl the beanie is actually really slick

[copper fulcrum]

It goes well with LRIP and Snow burn

[barren crater]

💩 💩 💩 💩

[desert elbow]

Yeah true, goes with the color scheme. Hope they make some more helmet cosmetics for the other specialists we get some more "generic soldier" variety

Well you can believe that if you want, but it's confirmed there are going to be at least 4 seasons so I'm hopeful

[dapper summit]

Sub 2.5k on steam

[copper fulcrum]

I imagine they'll give Rao a helmet in the future

Ya know, like how he does in the cover art.

[desert elbow]

Rao has a really sick desert helmet but I think it was in the Gold Edition only

[arctic grove]

Lmao deleted

[copper fulcrum]

Oh yeah that one, I got it and it's pretty sick

[desert elbow]

rip

[copper fulcrum]

I'd rather show Rao's face though tbh

[arctic grove]

If it’s DOA why people still playing

[desert elbow]

I'm glad all of the specialists all have at least one generic outfit, I reckon they did that on purpose since there was a lot of outcry about it

[desert elbow]

Yeah similar to McKay or Irish would be nice

[copper fulcrum]

inb4 they give Rao a bushy beard as a cosmetic

[desert elbow]

One day perhaps haha

Speaking of which, was that santa outfit ever actually used?

[copper fulcrum]

no, maybe next year.

[fierce gull]

Just give me the Santa skin

[desert elbow]

Ah I see, tbh I thought it looked really cool but I can understand why they didn't end up adding it

[fierce gull]

Who was the one that showed the Santa skin

[whole plume]

give me the bipod on my knife rn

[fierce gull]

I'm gonna ruin them
It's their fault that it's not in the game

[whole plume]

where is my c100

[bitter hill]

tactical beanie makes you win

[solar moss]

jeez this server is kinda inactive now

[copper fulcrum]

It goes up and down

[wise zodiac]

Usually goes up in activity when people want to bemoan the games current status.

[light flint]

Hi xero

[copper fulcrum]

vibya gaem bade because person with wingsuit kill me with bomb

me want refund after 496 hours

[wise zodiac]

[tacit sorrel]

Rao specialists ability doesn’t seem to work on helis they just flare regardless of hack

[light flint]

[fading fossil]

the dm7 sucks ass but im using it purely because it looks cool

[copper fulcrum]

Experiment with attachments, I find that it's pretty good with the Warhawk Compensator, Close Combat and Rattlesnake foregrip

[bitter hill]

this game really is battleFEILD

[fading fossil]

Im running Close Combat atm its actually really good im liking it

Im a ways away from the Warhawk Compensator tho

[copper fulcrum]

Because of the plus system, I tend to switch to the high power for people who are farther away

[fading fossil]

Yeah

[wise zodiac]

It's an English surname??

[bitter hill]

what

[arctic grove]

Why you posting about Cyber Punk

[prisma orchid]

idk was exited for update

[arctic grove]

I got it today too

[wise zodiac]

Feild. It's an English surname.

[desert elbow]

Hope u like it, I heard it's really good

[fierce gull]

Cyberpunk on gamepass?

[slow terrace]

It has a 5 hour trial on PSN, anyone can download it

I downloaded and didn't like it

[fierce gull]

Can I have a trial on PC?

[slow terrace]

I do not know

[fierce gull]

Only on console
Noob moment

[desert elbow]

Woooooo nice work

[arctic grove]

But I’m on console

[arctic grove]

[fierce gull]

I'm calling myself a noob

[arctic grove]

[fierce gull]

I have a Xbox one s but lol no

And a PS4 but no either

[arctic grove]

I’m like an hour or two in on Cyber Punk I can tell a difference between 30 & 60 FPS but I want the RT on so I keep that

[slow terrace]

[bleak ferry]

“Tactical” beanie 🤣

[raw vale]

"that's it? i'm ready for round 2!", this is what i told your mothers last night

[drowsy sapphire]

uh ohhhhhhh^^^

[bitter hill]

it makes you win?

[clever coyote]

are people still playing bf 2042?

[bleak ferry]

Are people still playing

[normal willow]

How do I get a refund?

[arctic grove]

If you play game around 1 hours have game around before 14 days you can get refund

[bleak ferry]

You have to send a message to @raw vale and he will refund you

[normal willow]

Darn, thanks

[drowsy sapphire]

not over 2 hours and not over 14 days and you are eligble

to whoever wants to really refund the game

[raw vale]

even if you play more than 10 hours if you can convince the steam support guy they'll give you a refund

but if you played in less than 2 hours and not 14 days then they'll immediately give you the refund no questions asked

[dire bluff]

Fix crossplay!

[scenic tartan]

had some really good conquest matches tonight game can be good

Hit a jet with a m5 and lots of landmine kills

I want to see someone use landmines to bait a jet trying to ram spawn into hitting a landmine

[dire bluff]

I want to see the AA be able to lock on

[old ridge]

2,851 peak day hahaha

[dire bluff]

Also way to many vehicles. Should limit per squad

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-laughing-gif-23591936

[old ridge]

Dont be sad

[arctic grove]

No

[hasty pumice]

ac42 is so op

[ocean hinge]

[cyan trout]

I hope they get rid of the vehicle call in system tbh

[arctic grove]

I hope to see a nerf to vehicles in general. The maps play far too well for vehicles. So many open areas.

Would be nice to see either a smaller number of vehicles in a game at any given time, or somehow nerf their effectiveness on infantry

I think just lowering the amount of vehicles in a game would do it quite nicely. Or just give us more infantry oriented maps

That would do quite well too.

[cyan trout]

Was always fun to steal the enemies vehicles which would previously prevent a new one from spawning at the base

[arctic grove]

Yeah. Wild you can just call in a tank wherever you'd like tbh

[cyan trout]

Got rid of the pucker factor of trying to traverse the map to the contested point

[arctic grove]

It makes it easy to throw too. Had a match where the enemy team had all the vehicles. We had nothing. Some guy was just calling them in near enemies allegedly, and letting then have them

[dire bluff]

Maybe require repair tool instead of having vehicles slowly auto repair

[cyan trout]

If only there was a way they could do that

[arctic grove]

Perhaps perhaps.

Just tryna get to level 60 for that one sniper rifle that's good at destroying vehicles. I will happily dedicate myself to being the vehicle destroyer on our team and just hang back, being a nightmare for em.

Level like 36 or 37 rn. Got a good ways to go.

[cyan trout]

AA was always fun in BF1

[light flint]

Can you mount an M320?

[split schooner]

[arctic grove]

[fossil trench]

Free 5 hour trial for cyberpunk rn on next gen. Definitely recommend. Much better use of your time instead of complaining about BF2042 😂

[wide shore]

It looks damn good too

Feels a lot better than when I last played it.

[cursive basin]

Thats whats gonna happen to battlefield 2042, in a few years it will be a lot more polished lmao

[fossil trench]

I hope so

[cursive basin]

You can’t send a YouTube video lino right ?

[quiet pawn]

whew this game is smelling

I wish I could get a refund, I figured it would be fixed.

I want to start a gofund and try to make a decent open map shooter. Apparently they are leaving that gap in the industry open because they think no one can fill it.

[cyan trout]

In a few years...

[iron blade]

Yeah i am wanting to make a vietnam fps game

[weak epoch]

still no updates rip to 2042

2k players on steam double yikes

[arctic grove]

Thank you for the continued updates. Please update us again in 5 minute's.

[weak epoch]

I dont care about the game enough to stay for 5 minutes

[arctic grove]

But, yet..here you are 🙂 still.

[weak epoch]

ya I mean I wish the game was good what can i say

[arctic grove]

sure.

[fiery shoal]

Are expecting a surprise update, you don’t know the “roadmap”, or just coming here to be a meme kid?

[weak epoch]

nah I was expecting the february update as promised

its too late now

[fiery shoal]

So you don’t know roadmap. It’s been delayed till march, announced at least a week ago now.

[weak epoch]

even if they do fix the game its already too dead to recover

[arctic grove]

I thought you didn't care enough to stay for 5 minutes..still here 🙂

[weak epoch]

really unfortunate

[fiery shoal]

Not that voip and scoreboard are huge features anyway.

[weak epoch]

guess I do care

[fiery shoal]

This is what he does all the time.

[arctic grove]

Ah, a secret under cover carer. lol

NOBODY here cares about this game, but yet they continue to be here. lol

[fiery shoal]

He might actually care about the franchise, but he definitely gets off memeing on the game. Maybe to fit in idk.

[weak epoch]

fair enough pretty accurate

i dont give a crap about whatever "fitting in" means tho

[fiery shoal]

I don’t get any other reason to shit on a game so much. I just stop playing and move on. So I have a hard time grasping what compels you to act the way you do.

[weak epoch]

I shit on the game because I want it to change what am I suppose to do praise the devs for ruining my favorite franchise? or hope they get their shit together

[fiery shoal]

Nothing I have said at all even comes close to suggesting that.

[mental cave]

the game is trash but because it makes up about a .0000000000001% contribution to my happiness I dont really care enough to shit on it consistently on a daily basis

with that being said, when tf are we getting a ranger pre season skin 😫

[wide shore]

I say we take the Bolte, and push it somewhere else

[mental cave]

whats wrong with the bolte?

[wide shore]

What’s right with the bolte

[mental cave]

I mean

[weak epoch]

they should have nerfed its armor not make throw all the nerfs on the guns

[mental cave]

you're not wrong there either lol

[wide shore]

It’s a 2 seat transport vehicle that stronger than tanks

Not armor wise. But firepower wise.

[mental cave]

I just shoot them through the window and steal it and run people over :p

[wide shore]

Attackers on BT can spawn like 300 of them

[wide shore]

I have this wonderful trait where no matter where I am, I get roadkilled from behind by a Bolte.

[mental cave]

must've been me

[wide shore]

It’s happened inside the stadium on hourglass. Inside the D building on Renewal. Inside multiple warehouses. On the oil rig on breakaway. It doesn’t matter

[blissful prawn]

whats the bolte

it's like an urban legend to me

[mental cave]

the weird long tank that has a big open window in the front

[blissful prawn]

pic?

[wide shore]

This fuckin thing

[blissful prawn]

fuck that

[mental cave]

[wide shore]

Needs to be moved to the tank category. If anything should be a transport, it’s the MAV

[blissful prawn]

i probably wouldnt use it just based on how it looks

[dusky blade]

Tis is a weird time in battlefields history

[blissful prawn]

ugly

[wide shore]

Notice how even on the battlefield Wikia, it has the 30mm cannon

[rose osprey]

so any of you are one of the 2000 active players? XD

[mental cave]

nope

I'm eating girl scout cookies

[dusky blade]

Nope as well

[wide shore]

Not on at the moment.

It’s almost 1:30 AM

[fossil trench]

Why do people use the 30mm on the bolte? The cooldown time is terrible

[mental cave]

reload time?

[weak epoch]

im playing lost ark its pog

[wide shore]

It’s still the best weapon.

[dusky blade]

It reloads?

[wide shore]

The overheat & subsequent cooldown

[mental cave]

don't let it overheat wtf

[fossil trench]

Cooldown*

[spice niche]

Its about as trash as 2042 imo

[weak epoch]

if you say so

[wide shore]

Don’t matter what you play. Somebody will call it trash.

[spice niche]

Its a terrible diablo/poe.

[fossil trench]

You shoot for 5 seconds and then wait 5 seconds for it to cooldown. It’s terrible

[weak epoch]

I dont care I love it to death

[fossil trench]

Minigun is so much better

[wide shore]

I just don’t drive the Bolte. I don’t really use any vehicles. Can never get in one I like. (Which is basically just the attack helis)

But even after the patch I get melted by that 30mm.

[fossil trench]

Everyone and their mom uses only the bolte I swear

[dusky blade]

Well yeah it’s good

[wide shore]

Oh I know. I’ve seen some Tier 1 Bolte players. Makes me sick

[fossil trench]

Yeah it is lol

[dusky blade]

It’s faster, has a cannon

[fossil trench]

It’s ridiculously good at doing everything

[rose osprey]

warhammer 3 is out tomorrow. Time to uninstall 2042 to make space

[fossil trench]

I wish there was a way to disable people from entering your vehicles

[wide shore]

I wish I could rob a Bolte Halo style

Sick to death of being run over by the fuckers

[fossil trench]

I’ve never played halo but that looks so broken lol

Wtf is the point of using a vehicle if anyone can just steal it with no effort

[wide shore]

I hate that being roadkilled insta-kills you.

You can get launched 100 feet in the air from a tank shell to the chest and get picked up. But I’ve been roadkilled by blown up boltes, and that’s it for me.

[ionic robin]

act man new video on bf2042 is on point lul

[fossil trench]

Act man is so toxic

[glass zodiac]

Toxic?

Man saying them facts

[ionic robin]

angryjoe is so toxic

[copper fulcrum]

Toxicity = Views and Attention, that's about it

[glass zodiac]

Not I see

[ionic robin]

who give this fart 10/10， is the only way to be non toxic

[copper fulcrum]

Who?

Cares.

[glass zodiac]

Cringe.

[copper fulcrum]

Speak nothings

[ionic robin]

there is no all chat lol

[fossil trench]

What kind?

[mental cave]

samoas

[fossil trench]

Only right choice

[copper fulcrum]

Who?

[mental cave]

I have 3 boxes

[ionic robin]

its called ea simp

[wide shore]

Angry Joe has always been kinda mid.

But either way, I’d rather not watch hour long videos about why the game sucks. I see enough of that on here everyday.

Plus, I can see for myself this games shortcomings.

[rugged citrus]

see angry joes vid on cod vanguard, so much angrier than bf2042

[mental cave]

am I the only one who has never heard of angry joe?

[rugged citrus]

probably

[wide shore]

I bet. But I’m not really interested in that either.

[ionic robin]

did i insult u ahhaha

[rugged citrus]

angry joe show is the most ANGRY REVIEWER OF ALL TIME

[fossil trench]

He’s a popular YouTuber. I’d recommend watching him

[copper fulcrum]

AVGN, as good as a creator he was, sparked a bunch of really bad copycats.

[fossil trench]

I like his content

[mental cave]

are his reviews ever not angry?

[rugged citrus]

no

[wide shore]

No need to be rude. I don’t doubt what he’s saying is true. But anyone who’s played this game knows majority of the issues anyway.

[fossil trench]

You can tell how act man is like by just seeing his thumbnails

[copper fulcrum]

🗿

[rugged citrus]

angry joe is pretty angry in his reviews but on his cod vanguard review his anger levels are on A WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL

[mental cave]

so all his reviews are negative? like a yelp reviewer

[rugged citrus]

mostly

[copper fulcrum]

Yellow Text: Why was my wife last night so disappointing?
Sad Drawing of face

[wide shore]

Oh, golly gee angry man I’m sorry for interrupting your stimulating conversation. It’ll never happen again.

[ionic robin]

The dude leeches off of controversy content

[ionic robin]

false negative

[light flint]

Why heated conversation here

[copper fulcrum]

🗿

[wide shore]

I saw people were talking about Angry Joe. I didn’t even reply to you in the first place.

[fossil trench]

He’s one of those YouTubers that does nothing but complain and tell people how he doesn’t like something. Doesn’t do anything else

[copper fulcrum]

Like a good amount of YouTubers, yes.

[ionic robin]

cuz there will be no major update and news til March，this channel could be as ded as game

[light flint]

And then make an apology video wiping their forehead because they know they are wrong

[wide shore]

Sorry I didn’t do my research on the topic at hand. So ignorant of me.

[fossil trench]

Angry Joe is much better

[mental cave]

ok

[cursive basin]

What?

[wide shore]

I think the reason people feel that way is because people quote YouTubers/streamers like their opinions are gospel. Instead of forming their own opinions/conclusions. Not everyone, obviously. But it does happen.

[cedar turtle]

Battlefield? More like, SADDLE BAGS

[mental cave]

milk jugs

[light flint]

Karen

[fossil trench]

There’s criticism and then there is a opinion talkshow

Gives me a headache

[mental cave]

people on the internet thrive off of negative is why

[cedar turtle]

yeah I miss the days when it was harder for people to publish their "takes."

[light flint]

They are trying to shatter our egos but instead themselves

[cursive basin]

When back in the 1990s?

[light flint]

in stone age we play with sticks and stones

[cedar turtle]

yeah, when you could HEAR the internet before you connected

[mental cave]

too bad my ego has been shattered long ago, I am literally shameless

[light flint]

Immortal! 😂

[copper fulcrum]

There's criticism and then there's bandwagoning

[cedar turtle]

there's criticism, and then there's low-fat sour cream. Keep that stupid low-fat sour cream off my nachos. Thank you.

[light flint]

You need some miracle whip

[fossil trench]

People literally make their careers off of being offended by something and telling other people how they are offended

[wide shore]

Keep sour cream off my nachos period

[cursive basin]

That sounds like Twitter in a nutshell

[wide shore]

Cheese and salsa only pls

[light flint]

you still need some aveeno lotion, it taste amazing

[ionic robin]

like this guy lul

[copper fulcrum]

Anyways, wingsuit hours

[cedar turtle]

Gotta have something cold on my hot nachos. It can be sour cream, or it can be guac.

[wide shore]

[copper fulcrum]

Spyro technically has a wingsuit

[wide shore]

That’s true

[mental cave]

[wide shore]

He paved the way for Sundance

[copper fulcrum]

With the Clip Ready Skin, if you squint your eyes, you can pretend it's Spyro

[cedar turtle]

What was Spyro's cheetah friends name?

[copper fulcrum]

and then blow up a Tuk-Tuk with a Recoilless M5, pretending it's a fireball

[wide shore]

Hunter

[cedar turtle]

Ah yes, Hunter. Hunter would later become Mr. Cheeto

[wide shore]

[light flint]

You know, the sunburnt korean specialist is soooo hot

[cursive basin]

[light flint]

Her face is my fear...

[wide shore]

“The sunburnt Korean specialist” lmao

[copper fulcrum]

Sunburnt? Could just be the shadow of her hair lol

[wide shore]

Poor Paik. Remember when everyone thought shed be op?

[ionic robin]

i like she is not a kpop star

[cursive basin]

Could be EAs shitty graphics too

[copper fulcrum]

Paik's useful but not really OP

[cedar turtle]

I like that you can see the teal light inside the operator's mouths. Like the light is shining through the back of their head lol

[copper fulcrum]

A group of mine uses Paik and Dozer and it's a great team on Renewal or Manifest

[cursive basin]

A group of yours? How many do you have?

[wide shore]

Idk I’ve tried to play as her. But, she feels kinda useless to me. I like supporting

[copper fulcrum]

Casper and Paik also pair well, if Casper's motion detector goes off, the Paik pulls out the scanner.

[copper fulcrum]

We've gotten 16 people in a party to play 2042 at one point.

[mental cave]

how

[copper fulcrum]

Which was last week

[light flint]

Dice could have imported those Kpop star's faces into paik lol, that is natural facial feature in korea no joke 😂

[ionic robin]

oops we find some last hope of the playerbase

[copper fulcrum]

Paik looks okay

[versed python]

The playerbase is fine.

[cursive basin]

Damn how lol? I haven’t played with the group I started with

[versed python]

I just got out of four hours of non-stop matches with 3/4 people on a Tuesday evening...

Was a blast, good way to blow off steam from work and homework.

[copper fulcrum]

Manipulating the party system in a way. Basically, four people in a party go into matchmaking, once they get in, one person leaves the party and then the rest just join on them. If we switch squads enough we get into the same squads.

It's weird but hey, until DICE add a way to fix this without needing portal, then whatever.

[ionic robin]

bf3 lets go is ur term to defeat the 2042

turn i mean

[mental cave]

@versed python since you use punctuation I always read your messages in an aggressive manner idk why

[versed python]

LOL

[wide shore]

I haven’t played with people on a bit. My friends got bored. Can’t really blame them

[versed python]

https://tenor.com/view/loud-noises-anchorman-yelling-yell-gif-5294834

[cursive basin]

What do you play on? I’m on psn but I sometimes have a hard time finding matches

[copper fulcrum]

Honestly, that's why I sorta lay off some punctuation. Some people think proper grammar is aggressive, or they judge too much on it. Like Brick Top did to me earlier.

[versed python]

PC and Xbox, depending on which of my friends are on.

[light flint]

Mike's hair looks slick

[versed python]

The departed is no longer with us.

[wide shore]

[copper fulcrum]

That's one way to put that.

Wow, that was really recent.

[light flint]

Dwight schrute should be a specialist

[versed python]

Doesn't it though? 😄

[light flint]

smooooooth

[torpid shuttle]

Any update?

[wide shore]

The sky is dark cause it’s night time

[light flint]

You've lost your regular?

[mental cave]

nah check back next month

[copper fulcrum]

I assume Thursday will give us any update on anything

[cursive basin]

Not until the summer

[copper fulcrum]

Weekly Mission I consider an update on anything.

[torpid shuttle]

Yes. I don't support this server anymore.

[cursive basin]

[rugged citrus]

hydra why do you have a crown are you a special mod?

[wide shore]

Summer is for content. There’s a patch with the scoreboard next month

[copper fulcrum]

Why would you?

[versed python]

Night all, I've gotta get to bed.

[copper fulcrum]

Don't hit the hay too hard, friend.

[wide shore]

Goodnight

[light flint]

This time kill 1K enemies to get a brown cap

[versed python]

OG, Double-OG, Triple-OG. The streets know.

[rugged citrus]

oh ok

[torpid shuttle]

@mental cave @cursive basin

[light flint]

Night homie

[wide shore]

Would be easier than trying to get randoms to revive/revive me.

[cursive basin]

Next month ?!

[light flint]

Revive rampage

[versed python]

Y'all have a good one, see ya tomorrow. 🙂

[copper fulcrum]

[light flint]

See you too man

[wide shore]

I mean, March is in what, like 2 weeks?

[cursive basin]

Oh I thought next month, mid march

[light flint]

I can't believe its going to be march already...time goes by so fast 😭

[wide shore]

Well, we don’t really know when in March. I can’t remember if they said early March or not.

[copper fulcrum]

You know for fucks-sure that people are going to dive into the this server at 12:00:00 AM March 1st:

"DICE YOU PROMISED A PATCH THIS MONTH, WHERE IS IT! I AM NOT USING IT!"

[wide shore]

Of course

[light flint]

People will get mad even if its 1 millisecond late

[copper fulcrum]

Oh, a wild Nyphon appears, lurking from the distance

[ionic robin]

ofc the game itself should be delayed at least half year

[mental cave]

lawsuit would happen

[light flint]

people would get mad at almost everything nowadays, i think these 2 years finally broke their minds and became deranged

[copper fulcrum]

I mean, Cyberpunk is going through this 'thing' right now, I assume Battlefield can do a similar thing

[ionic robin]

but i doubt dice will fix anything

[glass zodiac]

Cope

[wide shore]

Today should’ve been Cyberpunks actual release.

[copper fulcrum]

lmao

[glass zodiac]

[wide shore]

It feels unreasonably better than it did at launch.

[ionic robin]

2077 just got a huge update and its a single player game.

[wide shore]

Actually somewhat “complete” dare I say

[glass zodiac]

Well Witcher 3 has been a bad at launch as well

[copper fulcrum]

Also gotta remember that Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk are pretty different games

[light flint]

Lets hope Dice will dot he same thing and revive this franchise for Gamer's sake

[wide shore]

I mean yeah, but to a much less extent than cyberpunk.

[copper fulcrum]

Especially in geometric terms, they're VERY different

[wide shore]

Witcher 3 was at least playable for most people day one.

[light flint]

Fallout 76?

[wide shore]

If you were playing CP on last gen, you were fucked

[graceful hatch]

fallout 2042

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah so I don't exactly know how people were surprised the game was pretty buggy. CDPR didn't have too much experience in this field so it was a pretty ambitious take.

[light flint]

😱 😱 😱

[copper fulcrum]

Does it pay off now? Time will tell.

[ionic robin]

its up to ea to cleanup dice, dice management team is like bioware full of shitty business people, non game designer.

[arctic grove]

It would be funny if March 1st they made it so no one can post anywhere in this discord😂

[graceful hatch]

bf2042 is the f76 of the battlefield franchise. not only is it not what people asked for, but it doesnt even work properly and has single-handedly lost the confidence of a majority of the community

[copper fulcrum]

Would certainly make the mod's jobs easier, I'll tell you what.

[wide shore]

And unsurprisingly their skill shone through. The driving is actually pretty decent for a team that has never done driving. The city is insanely nice and detailed, for a team that never did a city before. The first person mechanics are good. For a team who’s never made a FPS before. And of course the writing is typical good CDPR writing.

[graceful hatch]

"ill tell you hwhat" *

[silk surge]

I wonder how many people realize that tactical beanies are an actual thing.

[copper fulcrum]

I wasn't really giving my opinion on the game itself, but rather talking about it's performance and stability.

[wide shore]

I can’t speak for all Fallout fans. But Fallout 76 is actually really good these days.

[graceful hatch]

how many years after release?

[copper fulcrum]

Also, pretty sure some head guy at DICE said it was a reference to Bad Company 2.

[light flint]

Be careful not to own too much nuka colas or else they will ban you

For some reason loots are monitored

[wide shore]

Better late than never.

[silk surge]

Damn, you're S152??

How many hours logged?

[graceful hatch]

doesnt really answer my question but alrighty

[copper fulcrum]

Yes, over 800 already. Although Xbox doesn't do a good job at really logging the time.

[silk surge]

You be slayin

[copper fulcrum]

It's not in hours, it's in days. Fuck you Xbox for being different >:(

[wide shore]

The answer is almost 4. But it was still good a year ago.

[graceful hatch]

so basically what ur saying is, it took so long that in battlefield terms, they would have already abandoned the game before it got "good" and moved on to another game. interesting

[silk surge]

I'm S044. I was gonna take a break at S042 until season 1 (2042, get it?) but I wanted to do the weeklies. 330ish hours logged here.

[copper fulcrum]

2042 has been mostly the only game that's kept me company for two months. I did however beat Doom Eternal on Nightmare recently

Three months actually, fuck time goes by fast lmao

[wide shore]

With BGS experience with multiplayer I’m surprised it ever got good. It was like GTA Online levels of disastrous.

Funny how people don’t talk about that now. It’s almost like community perception can change over good support.

[ionic robin]

good for a low playerbase instead making more money

[prisma orchid]

Battlefield community fukl of Qts

[copper fulcrum]

Quarts

[wide shore]

Doom Eternal on normal gave me enough rage to never even want to look at Nightmare difficulty.

[silk surge]

I've noticed that Battlefront 2 got even harsher reviews than 2042, and now it's a well received game.

Even lower score @ Metacritic

[ionic robin]

its was a p2w game

[copper fulcrum]

The music helps 👍

[silk surge]

It was a pride and accomplishment game

[wide shore]

That’s true. I heard Atomic Heart has the same composer. That game looks sick. And game pass day one? Definitely checking it out.

[copper fulcrum]

I doubt I'll be playing games in the next decade, I felt like I was going to have a heart-attack from Eternal at one point lol

[wide shore]

What are those big dudes with the two wrist swords called?

Built like Brock Lesnar? Fast as a cheetah?

[copper fulcrum]

Dread Knights

[wide shore]

Those things can kiss my ass

[weak umbra]

Doom Eternal is so good

[wide shore]

Other than getting smacked around, yeah. It’s really good

[copper fulcrum]

The Slayer Gates are just pure adrenaline

[wide shore]

I don’t remember which one it was, but I swear there’s one what is just dread knights

[ionic robin]

i shouldnt buy the founder pack of lost ark, when i realize i dont have time to grind and too mang triple a games with less content want my time as well.

[wide shore]

I wanted to DDT myself onto a nuclear warhead doing that one.

[light flint]

fighting 2 marauder that took adrenalin pills is pretty fun ngl

[copper fulcrum]

Next battle is fighting two Nightbirds who have the Cannons equipped and this is before the update that fixed the explosive rubber-banding

[silk surge]

I played a lot of Battlefront 2 on the old Xbox back in the day. Didn't even touch the new Battlefront 2 because of the bad reception it got. I kinda regret it, as I'm starting to feel like it wasn't as bad as people made it out to be.

[copper fulcrum]

At least Instant Action works and a lot of players got on PC because Epic gave it for free for a weekend

[white geyser]

They supported battlefront 2 ever since the loot box situation got them in a lot of trouble, so they decide to make a comeback by adding more content.

[wide shore]

[silk surge]

But in terms of it's launch, was it really a bad game aside from the lootbox controversy?

[white geyser]

Not that bad... but it did have problems though.

[copper fulcrum]

and all you have is C5

[wide shore]

You can’t do this to me

[fossil trench]

Is T1 tuk tuk just a meme?

[silk surge]

I love C5. I got T1 ages ago, and I refuse to switch gadget.

Gotten so many insane plays with C5.

[copper fulcrum]

I've seen it! It's true!

[copper fulcrum]

Okay I had a clip that started just like that with that skin so I got really confused for a second lmao

[silk surge]

I saw someone on /r/LowSodium2042 get T1 TukTuk. There's some insane ppl in this world.

[copper fulcrum]

My T1 Sundance go zoom

[silk surge]

T1 badge on Sundance is crazy. I played a lot of Sundance during launch, and I'm not even at a fraction of the way to T1.

[summer tree]

Ea apologise for battlefield 2042, and said the early critical was good but the release of halo infinite multiplayers surprise them

WTF is that answer really ? It’s doesnt make any sense at all

The excuse is Halo game wow ea is a real problem to dodge like that

[silk surge]

Did they really say that the release of Halo surprised them? The Halo community is also extremely salty.

[summer tree]

Yes they said that on a interview

I mean we don’t care, the game is unfinished doesn’t link halo release like Wtf is that possible to answer that ?

[silk surge]

On a side-note, why is the Halo community so salty exactly? I've seen some gameplay footage, and it actually looks like they released a stable game.

I only play on PS5 these days, so I haven't had the chance to try it out.

subpar netcode [laughs in Battlefield]

[fossil trench]

Favorite guns?

[silk surge]

Decent netcode isn't even a legacy feature tbh

[placid echo]

AK24 feels good

[silk surge]

Using most of them. Currently trying to get PKP to T1. That gun is so insanely powerful atm.

[fossil trench]

Trying every gun, not really satisfied with any gun tbh

[grizzled whale]

try the Vcar, you will be satisfied with every gun after that

[fossil trench]

Only good handgun is G57 (burst and 30 round mag 😉)

[silk surge]

Already have Vcar at T1. I liked that gun a lot.

[grizzled whale]

m44 is great but it takes skill and patience

[silk surge]

The first AR?

[grizzled whale]

revolver

[silk surge]

Ooooh... Im morning tired atm

[tiny imp]

EA are to much apex legends brain damaged

[fossil trench]

M44 should be buffed and damage nerfed. Gun feels more big and heavy than actually practical

[grizzled whale]

okay but who asked

[grizzled whale]

buffed and damage nerfed?
its already a 2-3 shot

[fossil trench]

Buffed in terms of reload and handling

[grizzled whale]

nah

its a revolver, it should be slow and powerful

[silk surge]

Nah, M44 is in a pretty good place atm.

[tiny imp]

@grizzled whale
your pic show how right direction DICE have choise.

[silk surge]

It's almost even more powerful than the BFV revolvers

[fossil trench]

I would like the M44 to be more like the Mk2 revolver in BFV

Feels so much better

Isn’t it single-action too?

(The M44)

[fading fossil]

Don’t be sad! This is just how it works out sometimes.

[fading fossil]

guess so, mfw single action handguns in 2040s

[fossil trench]

Just feels like absolute trash when compared to a maxed G57

[fading fossil]

also, hi chat, you are suddenly and inexplicably given 6 guns that will be added to 2042 immediately, what are those guns?

[fading fossil]

fair enough but M44 sniping is funny

[fossil trench]

It’s really unreliable in gun fights

[fossil trench]

Agreed there

Very funny lol

[grizzled whale]

the scope for the m44 is so bad

[fossil trench]

RIGHT?

[fading fossil]

don’t know haven unlocked it yet lmfao

[grizzled whale]

just let me slap a 8x on there

[fossil trench]

I hate the reticle design

[fading fossil]

isn’t it just the SVK default scope tho?

[fossil trench]

Yeah it is

[fading fossil]

oh but i like that scope

[fossil trench]

I just really don’t like the reticle design

[fading fossil]

fair

[fading fossil]

i wish the UH1 Smart Holo had the +1 Handling that the 8R does because the UH1 is my favourite sigjt

[grizzled whale]

desgustang

[fading fossil]

at least it makes my terrible aim look less terrible

[fossil trench]

Ugh so ugly

[grizzled whale]

i just used the last holo sight and popped 1200 people

[fading fossil]

damn

i have not gotten tier 1 mastery on anything yet

[fossil trench]

Hardline had a really good unique feature that I think every battlefield game should have. The reticle designer

[fading fossil]

YES

[fossil trench]

Like I only use certain scopes over other scopes only because of the reticle design

[grizzled whale]

i like the 6x but the reticle is too fat

[fading fossil]

me too

me uh1 ❤️

[fleet cloud]

wait...you guys ADS? D:

[grizzled whale]

not everyone runs a K30

[fading fossil]

Ha

[topaz flame]

Bolte by far the easiest T1 ever

Got max upgrades in 2-3 minutes lmao

[grizzled whale]

you cant T1 with bots

[fossil trench]

You can’t?

But you can still master them?

[grizzled whale]

progression stops at mastery 12

[fossil trench]

Ah okay

[grizzled whale]

t1 is mastery 40

[fossil trench]

Gotcha

[grizzled whale]

you can unlock all attachments and unlocks for vehicles tho

[fossil trench]

Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing

[bold steppe]

anyone having blasts playing bf2042?

[topaz flame]

i only played 10 hours, biggest waste of 70$

[reef kestrel]

No

[topaz flame]

nop the the game is more downbad than hard-line

[bold steppe]

should have just given to someone poor instead

[topaz flame]

yeah that'd be useful

[reef kestrel]

Should spend on EA play instead buying the game lol

[fleet cloud]

I play it just to prove myself I didn't waste the money...which I did.

[bold steppe]

F

[reef kestrel]

Uninstalled and moved on I'm just following the drama and pr control from EA.

[grizzled whale]

i hit 300 hours yesterday and im still having fun

[topaz flame]

I'm a guy that likes to play battlefield games on day 1 but this was the worst battlefield ever for me

[reef kestrel]

Well i lost 99 buck but can't make a refund i had 67 hours cuz i was thinking they'll fix the game.

[topaz flame]

lmao

[fleet cloud]

Oh I'm having fun too from time to time...but it's always with bitter aftertaste of what-could-have-been.

[topaz flame]

dayz has more players than battlefield 2042 on console lmao

and like dayz is dead af on console

[fleet cloud]

BF 2042 isn't dead till only 127 players play. :p

[reef kestrel]

So now, I'm just following the damage control of EA and how they'll answer to the players who pay the game 100 buck or less.

[topaz flame]

im never pre ordering an ea game, ever

#NotAgain

[fleet cloud]

Didn't they just announced that the decline of players is just because of Halo? 😄

[topaz flame]

should have learned the lesson from bf5

[reef kestrel]

Nah, Halo wasn't the reason why there is a decline.

It's just the game can't maintain his own playerbase.

[arctic grove]

Halo lost 90% of its players too, so it’s definitely not halo making the decline

[reef kestrel]

People try Halo because it's new and they'll move on if it's doesnt entertain them.

[fleet cloud]

I know but they try to blame someone else for sure.

[reef kestrel]

Blaming Halo is just silly.

[topaz flame]

so many YouTubers were supposed to get rich as fuck from making videos about this game lmao

boy did that go well

long story short, EA fucked us without condoms

[reef kestrel]

They can't get their shit together when the answer is just literally here Reddit, Youtube, Twitter, News etc..

[arctic grove]

Why would you listen to Reddit

[shy bronze]

Dice deserves to be discarded

[reef kestrel]

Reddit still give constructive feedback isn't like you'll read those toxic guys who can't behave and act civilised.

[topaz flame]

I mostly blame ea for making them rush though

[shy bronze]

It’s DICEs fault

Stop blaming everything on EA.
They are both as bad as one another.

[arctic grove]

They probably ARE listening but it’s hard to sift through 1000s of just circlejerk hate comments

[topaz flame]

but tbh even if the game wasn't buggy and whatever,, the whole new game play mechanics also fucked this

[arctic grove]

We don’t know until Summer wether or not they’re really listening

I want some spaghetti and meatballs

[topaz flame]

they can have some self reflection and see it for themselves what they've done

[reef kestrel]

Summer is really late everyone has already moved on & memeing / mocking at Battlefield 2042 poor management and launch.

[arctic grove]

And they’ll be back anyways

[topaz flame]

there's no recovering this game

[fading fossil]

ok

[reef kestrel]

Back maybe a few amount but not the 100k players.

[arctic grove]

Otherwise BFV would’ve never recovered with the pacific update

[topaz flame]

bfv never recovered lmao

[reef kestrel]

It's triple A game their goal was profit if they can't reach x amounts of players the product is a failure.

[fading fossil]

ok 👍

[arctic grove]

Games only hve 100k active players for like two days at a time… that’s at launch

The only games I can even fathom having constant 100k right now are fortnite, apex, warzone, etc,

[fading fossil]

yeah lmfao you cant expect a game to have 100k players forever, it’ll lose a lot at launch. 2042s player loss progression was concerning, but not incredibly abnormal.

[topaz flame]

battlefield 2042 died faster than my great grandpa with stage 4 cancer

[fading fossil]

All free aswell

[bold steppe]

so bf2042 failed because of halo infinite release lmao just saw the article

[fading fossil]

My father had cancer and it took him 3 years lmfao

[bold steppe]

blame other games for your own failure

[reef kestrel]

You can't profit over 10k players it's just waste of money depending how many resource and budget they spend on this project tho.

They are just stonking from Apex & Fifa.

[fading fossil]

Cancer kills slowly, can’t even bash a game rigjt

[arctic grove]

Halo did not kill battlefield when it literally lost 90% of its player base too

[bold steppe]

hows it funny tho

[fading fossil]

he can’t even bash the game properly

[topaz flame]

battlefield 2042 game basher battle

[bold steppe]

they say halo mp which is f2p is good

[bold steppe]

the top game bashers have been muted or banned by the mods here

[fading fossil]

based mod team

[topaz flame]

what happened to the ea knights that were defending this game with their lives at launch?

[bold steppe]

they want to keep their job as an unpaid mod

[arctic grove]

Still here

[fading fossil]

what happened to your bitches american psycho pfp

[bold steppe]

they stalk here and report to mods and tell them who to ban

[topaz flame]

chainsawed em

[fading fossil]

even my cat likes 2042 lmfao

[arctic grove]

As long as you aren’t insulting developers or people who enjoy the game you aren’t going to be banned

[fading fossil]

Classic

[fading fossil]

i’m glad people like or don’t like a game and feel confident in their opinion. But giving death threats to developers is inexcusable and not acceptable whatsoever

[bold steppe]

anyways, a lot of new games have released now so no one will be much bothered with 2042 now, DICE can take 3 years more time to include a damn scoreboard for all i care

[glacial nimbus]

what type of truck is battlefield truck

[fading fossil]

vrom vrom

[arctic grove]

I just have the strangest gut feeling it wouldn’t be this bad if the game didn’t have specialists, really weird

[fading fossil]

Specialists have their ups and downs. Personally I would be more on board if they were more like classes and not with so much cringe ass cheesy character

Make them all have the same vibes as Irish and Falck

[arctic grove]

Irish, Dozer and Casper vibes

[glossy storm]

Bruh, 1698 players RN.

Make them have team based camo patterns, and also look like actual soldiers

[topaz flame]

HELL let loose has more!

[arctic grove]

Well it is 2 AM on a week night in the region this game is most played in… north america

[bold steppe]

yeah 1 out of 100k people do this stuff, and most of them are rants, i havent seen any death threat to any dev yet , maybe they getting in DMs

[fading fossil]

On steam, have you ever heard of the console market

[hazy vector]

that's nothing for a tripple A. but it's nly one out of the like 5 platforms it's played on

[glossy storm]

I forgot to add Steam, my bad.

[grizzled whale]

i hate how when you leave a game it automatically finds a new game

[fading fossil]

YEAH

[hazy vector]

and going by the amount of screaming and ree-ing. most players supposedly are console players these daysy

(or play drectly via origin/epic games/something that's not steam)

[fading fossil]

Like I left to go eat dinner but was gonna come back and then got placed into a new game despite me not being there

[topaz flame]

they should make this game free and pay people to play it

[fading fossil]

they should pay me ithink

[bold steppe]

yes i switched to console myself, since i have a busy life and console is convenient

[glossy storm]

And apparently, for a brief period, BF4 surpassed 2042 in terms of player-count on STEAM.

I hope this is not true.

[fading fossil]

And?

[bold steppe]

hardline have 100 players too, bf2042 will also have 50-100 players after 3-4 years maybe

[topaz flame]

yes it did, months before 2042 launch

[arctic grove]

You gotta remember that on console both new and old gen there’s at least another 2000 playing

[fading fossil]

BF4 numbers on steam compared to PS5 Xbsx/s, and PC

[topaz flame]

people were so excited for 2042 they all jumped into 4

[hazy vector]

because that was the newest modern "possibly comparible" game

[fading fossil]

anyways i’m going to bed goodnight everyone and just remember that paik mains are unbased

[hazy vector]

people hoping we'd get more last stand liek stuff

[glossy storm]

I mean, did anyone expect a new title to perform this poorly?

[bold steppe]

i have a slight hope from mw2 , atleast it wont be a hollow contentless game

[rugged citrus]

well it will be a repeat of older titles

[topaz flame]

i had high expectations

[arctic grove]

I mean mw19 was already pretty good so

[hazy vector]

people had suspicions i'd say as it's EA publishing it. but it wasn't outright expected by a lot of players

[topaz flame]

i think 120 players and massive maps made it harder to finish the development in time

[grizzled whale]

No, EA having them scrap a half made game to start over made it harder

[hazy vector]

doesn't excuse the instability. a empty map due to it being a new size for the franchise is more excuseble than it being unstable

[bold steppe]

there are 1000 excuses and reasons for doing a botched up job and 1 reason to do a finished job

which is willingness

[topaz flame]

is battlefield franchise dead?

[grizzled whale]

no

[bold steppe]

seems like it

[arctic grove]

No, this is how BF launches go, not an excuse not to demand better quality upon release though

You strike me as a glass is half empty type of guy

[hazy vector]

it's not dead, there's like 8 games in it. several still online with official servers

blemished sure, dead deffinitly not

[topaz flame]

my friends all laugh at how excited I was for this game only for it to be a disappointment

[arctic grove]

A lot of people judge if they like a game by the amount of people that like it too

[arctic grove]

Facts

[hazy vector]

i judge it by the game being good

[topaz flame]

i love democracy

[rugged citrus]

imo bf2042 was bad because expectations were high, the trailer was extremely hype-bringing, due to that we expected an amazing polished bug-less game, hell if we had a bfv kinda trailer for bf2042 it wouldnt have got such bad PR

[spring spruce]

[hazy vector]

that's the point of a trailer, hyping people up

[topaz flame]

the trailer showed soldiers not rainbow six siege like operators

[arctic grove]

@rugged citrus I agree.. I think this mixed with the change to classes and such was a throw off

[hazy vector]

i mean it did show operators, justs not named as operators/specialists

[topaz flame]

they literally ripped us off

[spring spruce]

wdym man?

[topaz flame]

what were they thinking???

[arctic grove]

Yeah but it was still up to you to regulate your hype to realistic levels, I’m no stranger to it since overhype is very real in music, video games, you name it. It also was the consumers responsibility to use something like EA game pass and pay like 5 dollars instead of 60+ to see if they enjoyed the game

[grizzled whale]

ask them

[arctic grove]

@spring spruce the hype mixed with the changes to features and how the game plays

[rugged citrus]

problem is the game has only 60 hours worth of content and for ea play you only get 10 hours

[hazy vector]

things lke E3 are also to generate masive hype. And then not uncommonly they underdeliver

[rugged citrus]

you gotta pay EA play pro if you wanna see all the content

[hazy vector]

famously, watchdogs visual downgrade

[topaz flame]

it's not about money, it's about sending a message,

[arctic grove]

I mean I have around 70 hours and still not a single t1 operator

[hazy vector]

70 hours sounds like a short grind to me. although i guess it's skill based depending on how many kills you get

[arctic grove]

Yea it’s very dependent on your playstyle

[topaz flame]

i just feel guilty for wasting cash

[rugged citrus]

skins dont count as content, skins count as stupid cosmetics that you dont even notice 100% of the time

[arctic grove]

All we can do is send the message to dice and take extra precautions the next title

[rugged citrus]

when im killing an enemy i dont even stop to look at their skin

[topaz flame]

i could have fed half of Africa with 70$

[arctic grove]

Africa isn’t that poor man

[hazy vector]

by that logic most of the battlepass stuff wont be actual content. just the maps that are "free" (funded by people buying battlepases) and some extra bits for portal

[arctic grove]

I mean I’m not gonna debate it but a lot of people there live good

[rugged citrus]

yeah thats why i never get battle passes

[hazy vector]

Africa is giant and has many countries, it's like basing the entirety of europe on Greece alone

[arctic grove]

Wait so what counts as content? I hear what you’re saying though

[hazy vector]

things that alter gameplay i guess? so not skins

[rugged citrus]

maps, weapons, operators

pretty much anything that affects gameplay in one way or another, not skins that you barely see

[arctic grove]

I see what you mean

[hazy vector]

and all those are funded by people buying battlepasses, because they will be given to non battlepass people as well

[rugged citrus]

like bruh i dont EVER grind skins, whats even the point if you die within 0.1 seconds and you never get to stop and see the skiin

[hazy vector]

you know, when stuff eventually actually comes out

[arctic grove]

I guess the game is just more enjoyable if you’re running Casper’s T1 skin

[hazy vector]

how? it's a skin

[arctic grove]

I like how dayz does skins. You have to loot / scavenge for your clothes

[rugged citrus]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/battlefield/images/b/b2/Casper_Tier_1_Set.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/125?cb=20211220072526

literally almost NO difference other than a slight red tinge

[grizzled whale]

https://tenor.com/view/tiny-text-cant-see-ken-jeong-gif-5957945

[arctic grove]

Ok so where else does the quad NVGs appear??

[rugged citrus]

yes i know

[hazy vector]

that seems to be the entire T1/T2 skin's gimic. them being lightly red

[arctic grove]

Which is actually really noticeable might I add

[grizzled whale]

pretty different if you ask me

[arctic grove]

I feel cosmetics can ruin a game

[rugged citrus]

still, i dont see the point if the insane graphics of bf2042 (no sarcasm intended) make casper's look irrelevant

[arctic grove]

Player immersion, it’s just dope

[grizzled whale]

why do graphics make a skin irrelevant

[hazy vector]

Team fortress 2 is in a weird situation with the hats

[arctic grove]

Makes the game a lot more enjoyable when I look like an actual soldier

@hazy vector haven't followed team fortress,

[rugged citrus]

like how many times do you stop to see a skin? skins and cosmetics imo fit well in low poly games with less particles and shadows like phantom forces and battlebit, the skins are clearly visible, in games like bf2042 the graphics, trees, foilage, particles drown out the skins

[hazy vector]

a soldier that doesn't want to be seen normally so his gear wouldn't be fuckin red?

[grizzled whale]

all the time?

[hazy vector]

there's probably also still people that lower settings to "cheat" by not rendering bushes

[rugged citrus]

still, its not even that prevalent in gameplay

i have never EVER stopped to stare at a skin for longer than 0.5 secs

[hazy vector]

might be because you and i give zero fucks about skin value/looks

[arctic grove]

I like it when everyone is a nameless faceless killing machine. And being able to distinguish between enemy and friendly with out some text or Dorito floating over people's head

[arctic grove]

I’d be immersed and feel like an actual soldier if Paiks ROK/SOF skin was black and red. As long as i again look like an actual military operator,

And on a more personal note, black and red are hella clean imo, both my favorite colors, so I could care less about it

[hazy vector]

i guess it's done so you can turn friendly fire back on because "you can now see who's friend and enemy"

[grizzled whale]

they really need to fix the bolte player hitboxes, sprayed an entire mag directly into someones head but not dead

[arctic grove]

I had like 2 times where I blasted the Wildcats 30mm through the Bolte windshield and nothing happened, but you can snipe someone out of it

[rugged citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/feel-me-think-about-it-meme-gif-7715402

because 30mm rounds do only 10 damage to players, i checked myself, the snipers which are about 7 mm do 90 damage

[frank rain]

Having problems not able to play a game stuck at player loading screen

[low sparrow]

I can't find games for like 15mins minimum from Asia region

[rugged citrus]

30mm dual cannon TTK is about 3-4 secs

recorded myself with help from friendly bots

[frank rain]

I am form Asia too I can't get into Breakthrough servers

[rugged citrus]

same, breakthrough is dead as a dodo here

[frank rain]

Are u from Asia too

[arctic grove]

NA and EU are honestly prob the only regions you’ll find games which is sad

[rugged citrus]

yep, only in a tier 1 city so not the rural slums or towns

[arctic grove]

Is voip coming next patch?

[rugged citrus]

for some reason conquest has almost 300K players in asia and you can easily find conquest matches but other matches are dead

[frank rain]

Breakthrough is dead for like 2 months

[rugged citrus]

yeah, i use VPNs to get breakthrough rounds

[arctic grove]

You’re not missing much ngl breakthrough really sucks if you’re defending

Breakthrough is not that fun

[rugged citrus]

what about the PKP BP lawnmowers who camp on top of the objective

[grizzled whale]

the respawn timer on defenders is wayyyy too long

[frank rain]

Which platform are u playing on

[low sparrow]

Man was so excited to play BF.
I can barely find time and when I do usually have to logout after 30mins plus of waiting for squad to fill up.
I genuinely wish this game gets better and players join again.

[arctic grove]

Small team breakthrough imo would be better 16 V 16

[rugged citrus]

PC

[arctic grove]

I mean those are surely annoying but it’s not like they’re gonna stay there for long, the lack of vehicles for defending team allows attackers quick air superiority and it doesn’t help that there’s only so much cover vs nightbirds or attack heli 30mms depending on map and objective

[rotund grail]

Breakthrough 128 was working great for me all night up until about an hour ago. Now it just keeps trying to match-make.

[arctic grove]

Don’t forget the transport helis that pretty much get target practice against defenders on open objectives

[rugged citrus]

what about them rao+stinger combos and soflams, those pkp dudes think breakthrough is literally d-day

[rugged citrus]

ok yeah you cant do much about the transports even with stingers or soflams

[arctic grove]

I mean there’s ways to survive most definitely and rao+stinger helps, just pray the enemy attack heli isn’t sitting outside the range of any anti air weapons your team has raining 30mm on ya

[rugged citrus]

what about recoilless dudes who can shoot him while he is flying still up there

[arctic grove]

Oh no heli flight ceiling is very high

[rugged citrus]

only point i find valid is the transport helis, transport helis will just farm farm farm farm farm farm, FARM FARM FARM, i once had a super hind get almost 132 kills

and the crews were randos

[arctic grove]

As long as you had one good guy on the 50mm

And 2 passengers constantly repairing the transport

[rugged citrus]

50mm is not that useful on breakthrough as attacker, the 40mm can shoot faster and beam everyone

[arctic grove]

True, both are pretty applicable

[solid trellis]

How can i change my server in this game?

I get 70+ ping bruh

[hazy vector]

that's the beauty of it, you don't

[next onyx]

I'm ready when you are.

[jade merlin]

Ngl this game need optimization HARD

[next onyx]

The Beanie is actually pretty good.

[jovial jay]

wow Keegan Michael Key did it again

[hazy vector]

it's a beanie. how can it be good or bad?

[fossil trench]

My man got the tactical bulletproof beanie

[still vault]

It is TACTICAL

[arctic grove]

My BfV character has a beanie but it's green

[fossil trench]

Angel looks so much better with facial hair

[next onyx]

Oh the one with the mask, Bonez?

[still vault]

Still waiting for the tactical tophat though

[hazy vector]

tactical fez as well while you're at it

[next onyx]

To be honest I might move on from the Beanie when I get Angels tier 1 cause Goggles are cool.

[arctic grove]

@next onyx it's a beanie with goggles over the front part of it

[jovial jay]

where's my tactical slipper

[next onyx]

Cool hand duke?

[fossil trench]

I hope DICE does complete skin sets for all specialists in the store

[hazy vector]

tactical chankla? or however it was written. throw it instead of a nade

[jovial jay]

lol no do a different voicelines for all specialists instead of skins, Im tired of muting whenever end round comes

[next onyx]

Talking about Voicelines.

I do like the attention to detail where wearing a mask actually muffles your voice.

[hazy vector]

like anouncer packs in...dota i think?

or was it heroes of the storm

[tranquil kettle]

in bf1 also your voice changes if your shellshocked (grenade explodes near you)

[jovial jay]

Angel and sundance should wear one then

[fossil trench]

Is DICE ever going to remove the voicelines? Seriously. It doesn’t belong.
