battlefield-2042

[versed python]

It shouldn't be capable enough of continued flight taking as many rounds as a condor.

[scenic tartan]

its a high skill vehicle to make use of that mobility - arguing for a nerf on is just removing any reward for learning the skill of flying it.

I guess infantry that can hold LMB and click RMB once in a while should be rewarded the same as a pilot that puts in the hours to learn how to fly

[versed python]

They can dial back the armor a little and it's balanced. Simple fix. That will keep folks from buzzing a site in oscillation.

[radiant bronze]

What I hate too is all it takes is one recoiless to kill a heli and jet, and it takes 2-3 shots of a aircraft AA to Kill another aircraft

[scenic tartan]

in no way does it take the same rounds as a condor, ive hit a condor with 2 tank shells and it doesnt go down. Plus the condor gets 2 reps inside, the NB barely gets any reps because the hitbox is jank

[versed python]

Cool story.

[versed python]

Yeah, that's a bit odd.

[scenic tartan]

I cant find any actual stats on vehicle health but what's your source for saying the nightbird has as much armor/health as the condor?

[versed python]

The mobile AA needs some buff on range.

[radiant bronze]

The soflam and recoiless is so broken 😭

[versed python]

Is it? Why so?

[scenic tartan]

one hit kill with soflam is OP, this has never been the case with BF3/BF4

[radiant bronze]

Ngl it’s a cool thing to have but using soflam and 1 hitting a aircraft from a single recoiless is a pain in the ass

[fallow valley]

Am I the only one that finds it impossible to find a match in 2042? the last 3 days it says searching for more players

[versed python]

I've played the last six hours consistently round after round.

Dunno what to say about that.

[radiant bronze]

I got into some matches yesterday but some were bots as well

Depends on the time and region I guess

[fallow valley]

In and hour of searching i played one round

[versed python]

What region?

[fallow valley]

Waiting time is so long it kicks me out

[versed python]

Asia I heard has issues like that.

[fallow valley]

Eu

[versed python]

Hmm, dunno.

It is just timing out?

[uncut notch]

Cross play on ? @fallow valley

[fallow valley]

1 sec i'll send a pic, yes cross on

[radiant bronze]

What u searching for?

[scenic tartan]

on PC or Console

[uncut notch]

Could be your internet?

[radiant bronze]

If it was his internet I don’t think he would be able to get past the opening menu

[fallow valley]

Can't send a pic, I have 100mbps and a friend has 50 faces the same issue (greece)

Stuck on waiting for players to join

[scenic tartan]

PC or console?

[versed python]

Not sure. Could try submitting a ticket.

[fallow valley]

I find matches if I search for an hour... Pc

[scenic tartan]

have you deleted your cache recently?

I do it everytime before i play

[fallow valley]

No, but a friend has the same problem he is also on pc

[scenic tartan]

thats the first thing you should try, in the documents/battlefield 2042 folder delete the CACHE folder entirely

[fallow valley]

Kk

[fierce gull]

what does this help?

[scenic tartan]

It usually just helps the game stabilty for me if i dont do it i get more weird issues i think the cache is messed up

does bf2042 let you pick your region?

[fallow valley]

Deleted cache, same problem anyway thank you @scenic tartan thanks everyone, i'll wait for the update

[fierce gull]

nah you can't pick regions

it's automatic

+I can join portal just fine in server browser

[scenic tartan]

@fallow valley is this a new problem in the last week?

[fallow valley]

I think this is the 3rd day

But I'm in Greece

[scenic tartan]

I wonder if its related to these russian internet issues

If someone from turkey is saying they're having problems matchmaking greece isnt all that far

[wintry mortar]

I'm in spain without the S

[fallow valley]

Me too

[old thunder]

i love spain mate

[arctic grove]

Russia players are probably mad @ EA even more now farm 51 will shine

[scenic tartan]

everybody is cutting off Russia not just EA

[amber heath]

Mhm

[scenic tartan]

but yes russian people might go from using twitter and facebook to weibo and wechat

[fierce gull]

First time doing jeep stuff in 2042

[scenic tartan]

The jeep is fun if you have a squad using the 50mm but its so, so easy to die

[radiant bronze]

All it takes is one c5 😂

And that jeep goes sky high

[fierce gull]

they should make the tornado move your bullets and it can land on people

[scenic tartan]

C5 or even just a PKP spraying at the windows

[arctic grove]

brutal expectation

[arctic grove]

Yeah

[vivid rain]

Has anyone had issues with stuttering?

[arctic grove]

Rip bf 2042 chat. It was fun while the game was fun

[vivid rain]

My game audio and video are bugging out

[wintry mortar]

[bitter field]

its impossible to do stealth anything in 2042

in some of the snowy bf1 maps you could get like covered in snow as scout and hide under a tree and people would just walk right past you

why the hell did ea make every operator wear this goofy ass lazer tag uniform in 2042

[desert elbow]

U can still get mud and snow on you

I haven’t tried stealth though so I can’t comment on that

[versed python]

Nope

[bitter field]

yeah but you have these weird red pads on you that make you stick out

[whole plume]

game bad Ubisoft fix plz

[arctic grove]

i have on my series x

[arctic grove]

neither this channel or 2042 are even dead

[arctic grove]

Usually when I say that people come back.

Like a reverse jinx

i see, then if that was your tactic, gg

[bitter field]

2042 needs a few extra months in the womb, it's clearly not baked yet

[arctic grove]

Yeah could do with some more seasoning too

i need my milsim skins

[silk surge]

Decided to get this out of the way in case DICE plans to nerf it tomorrow.

[arctic grove]

I need my marriage fixing 😭😭

[whole plume]

your gross

[arctic grove]

what do you usually run on Bolte?

[uncut notch]

Skill issue

[arctic grove]

time to grab the bucket, i need level 85 for that dozer skin ASAP

[whole plume]

this is hilarious

[scenic igloo]

I just posted my feedback on the feedback hub

Idk if they'll really listen to it, but at least I put some actual love in it (even though my experience with the game has been pretty small and not that good)

[crimson wasp]

We wouldnt set those channels up here just for fun :)

[desert elbow]

Ngl an easy good change would be bringing back the sick revive animations from BF5, those alone made the game feel so cinematic

The first person downed state was also awesome

[sturdy flame]

When is the next update?

[fierce gull]

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday next Sunday
One of those days

[rocky ether]

was having a great play today untill suddenly 13 people under the floor with unlimited c4s runnign around under c4ing everything on my team

[scenic igloo]

Thanks for that alert. Makes me have some hope you Community people are gonna get us where we want with the game

[echo yew]

i hope for some weapon balance changes

some depth to attatchments too

also is breakthrough really that dead? haven't been able to find a lobby since december

another reason to dump matchmaking and return to server browsers

[arctic grove]

Depends on your region

If you’re in EU/NA you should be good in breakthrough and conquest 128, idk about 64, you might have some bots pop up there

[drowsy sapphire]

I find lobby’s for everything, except hazard zone, but that’s only in night time

[echo yew]

i get thrown into "waiting for players" for like 10-20 minutes and then the lobby dies

matchmaking is a bad system and server browsing needs to return

[arctic grove]

I guess we should wait to see if it’s incorporated into 2042

[echo yew]

i mean yea it's one of the bare minimum things this dev team needs to do, if they add one is nothing to praise, like no shit that should have been there at launch

[arctic grove]

yeah i cant get into a lobby other than the one game i dont want to join

i only play at midnight so that might be the case but still

[echo yew]

and whats worse, sometimes you get thrown into lobbies where your team is losing 100 to 900

[arctic grove]

Yeah but there should still be more servers regardless of time, so understandable

[echo yew]

like how can a game be so poorly designed

[arctic grove]

idk whats up with the aaa games being trash trend i hope it ends this year

MW22 might be overhyped and then have a hate train because people thought it’d be surreal

[wide shore]

Horizon and Elden ring have been critically acclaimed.

[arctic grove]

i meant multiplayer aaa games @wide shore

[wide shore]

[echo yew]

i hope MW22 actually delivers but not only that, i hope it includes a ground war mode with full on destruction and vehicles and kills battlefield for good or forces EA to give it to a studio that deserves it

oh boy here come the fanboys

[soft swallow]

I don't think the update will be today, but i really hope they will nerf veichles and weapons

[arctic grove]

transport helicopters are kind of…. strong

[echo yew]

the nightbird is almost cartoony

[soft swallow]

The thing is, Call Of Duty isn't this type of game, why change perfection to doss a game? This doesn't even make sense

[uncut notch]

Skill issue

[arctic grove]

Especially in breakthrough where they’re virtually uncontested on the attacking team, because defenders only get ONE TRANSPORT HELICOPTER and that means ONE NIGHTBIRD or ONE TRANSPORT

Even worse, only one jet, whereas the enemy team has like, 2 or 3 at a time

[soft swallow]

The Nightbird doesn't even look like a transport helicopter as everyone uses it for attack

[arctic grove]

It’s not even like the Condour or super hind where your team can freely spawn on it, the vehicle categorization. Is odd

[soft swallow]

Yup

But I see more people using a Nightbird rather than a Super Hind

[polar cradle]

kind of ? haha the condor killed my tank several times

it can just hover right above barrel elevation and if you move to change angle it it can just pursue with it's bullshit maneuvering

[arctic grove]

they’re also really bad to deal with if you’re defending in breakthrough where their team has enough jets to guarantee air superiority the entire game

cause you won’t be getting a jet in the sky for very long

[polar cradle]

mhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmmhmhmhmhhmhm

[desert elbow]

Transport Helis are fine imo

They need a good crew to work effectively

[thorn helm]

❤️ Two Of Hearts❤️

[echo yew]

Are you an AI

[silk surge]

Mark my words, another Bolte nerf will happen. If not in the upcoming update, the update after that one.

That's how DICE always responds when people are kicking and screaming about a specific vehicle.

Not that I mind, I'm already done with my Bolte grind 😄

[soft swallow]

Well, people kicking and screaming for the entire game :I

Honestly i don't think BF2042 it's so bad but people doesn't like it so i just wait some updates for save the game

[arctic grove]

Is this game still great?

[drowsy sapphire]

EA banned Russian players from Russia to play battlefield, I think all there games

[thorn helm]

oh greece too?

[drowsy sapphire]

And Microsoft also banned electronics from being sold in Russia

[polar cradle]

EA really bullying russia

[drowsy sapphire]

Basically everybody from graphics cards to the Olympics are keeping Russia from having what Russia has been getting the past years

[cursive hinge]

Rip Russian innocent ppl

[worn merlin]

as much as we all waste our time talking about this game I don't think we can address the idiotic player base. just played another breakthrough match and just like always the player base doesn't understand how AT weapons work. I think it's good that people don't want to use the AT weapons cuz the TTK should be increased. I really think until you address the idiots that play this game not going to get anywhere

[drowsy sapphire]

Even the hackers “Anonymous” broke into Russia’s online networking

[polar cradle]

r u s s a

[drowsy sapphire]

Everybody is doing there part to destroy Russia’s economy to force the war to have a end sooner, and that’s what has been said, I’m just spreading what’s been said

Why do you guys keep deleting your messages

[arctic grove]

I am done
I'm not going to play BF 2042 until there's a solution to the accessories bug

where the lizzo's at?

[sage ingot]

What bug is that

[sage ingot]

It will fix itself, cod kiddies and sweaty streamers always populate the first year, but after that, they start to dwindle down and the game becomes amazing (community wise)

[thorn helm]

https://tenor.com/view/it-wasnt-her-fault-jarmo-red-dot-kalled-mustonen-its-not-her-fault-gif-20252632

anyone see that movie

[sage ingot]

Last night a cod kiddie tried to rush me with a knife, and another one kept wiggling around as if it was r6, he did not landed a single shot on me

[arctic grove]

You should be greatful for getting lobbied with them instead of those K30 drum bunnyslidehoppers

[arctic grove]

Usually instead of complaining my approach is to fill the role that’s void

If my team is getting rained on by helis, if need be I’ll grab rao and FXAA

[sage ingot]

Or fill them with enough lead so they dont want to play anymore

[arctic grove]

C5 drone them

[sage ingot]

The ones that i found like that I deal with rather easilly, they are playing mckay or sundance with an obnoxious camo that makes them stand like a sore thumb, and with all that movement they barely hit any shots, just a couple headshots with the AK and they are done for

[arctic grove]

My approach honestly is to do the same thing, like I gotta fight fire with fire, then usually I’ll go back to playing a style that isn’t, “meta” you could say. Like a DM7 with odd attachments that aren’t commonly used

Conquest is surprisingly casual, not so much for breakthrough

[compact sleet]

I love breakthrough literately the only mode I’ve played since I bought BFV

[arctic grove]

Breakthrough is cool just not really so much in 2042, defending is a pain in almost every map every game

[sage ingot]

Also they usually have attachments that go for meta or damage, but those usually make range and spread be shit, and with the already small range of the PDWs, just dont get too close and they are what they should have always been, a joke

[thorn helm]

no

[compact sleet]

And some breakthrough maps or horrendous because there’s not cover at all

[thorn helm]

the A.I. is Based off real players though right?

[sage ingot]

I always have my trustee ak with 3 scopes and bullets in the selector, reduced spread, never fails me

[sage ingot]

I think so, because they do the most absurd stuff like start jumping when you shoot at them

[copper fulcrum]

It's nice that some bots will throw down smoke on an incapacitated friendly before going in to revive them

Something that was definitely present in BFV

[sage ingot]

Bots will revive you, players will not
AI>Real players

[copper fulcrum]

Ironically, I've had an AI walk passed a player who was Anghel and revive me.

[sage ingot]

Also, for the love of everything and anything you might believe in, when you die, dont fucking despawn inmediately, sometimes a medic is trying to get to you but they cant just spawn at your side when your whiny ass goes down, please, learn how to wait at leat 10 seconds, you cost tickets to the team

[copper fulcrum]

The funny part about it was that the AI was staring at the fucking player the entire way

[thorn helm]

I know, I was in tank and some bot from distance fell in some ditch next to bot buddy he didnt make it sadly 2042

[arctic grove]

I need to work on that myself, sometimes I’m quick to go to respawn if an objective is especially contested

[sage ingot]

You have no idea how I hate it, I see people go down, not only they dont mark hostiles so you can see what you are up against, when you take longet than 0.0001 seconds in dealing with the enemy and going to revive them, the skull symbol already shows

[arctic grove]

Yup it’s especially bad when they request revive and don’t ping the enemy that’s like a few meters away from them

[sage ingot]

People forgets that Q is useful, is also on the manual of a good gunner, that is how I know that my vehicle run is gonna be shit when the gunner doesnt marks hostiles so i can evade the bigger guys or circle them so we can do an ambush

[thorn helm]

please put bugs in the game later

[tame ermine]

Anyone got tips on how to effectively use the m44

[hearty kiln]

So are they ever going to fix the vehicle attachments resetting? Lol

[tame ermine]

What if it’s just their way of fricking with the players

[thorn helm]

Origin: oh well give Bugs alright

[sage ingot]

Treat it as a shotgun because you have a long cockback time and few ammo, dont aim at close range, at middle range try to go for the chest, dont bother trying to go for the head because the damage is enough to kill a wounded hostile

[tame ermine]

Ok thanks a bunch

[sage ingot]

And time for me to complain again
As a driver, you are not only responsible for the gunner and the rest of your crew, you also select the loadout, so please do not put random useless shit on the vehicle just because you like it, like the bouncy grenades or changing the tank turret to the useless minigun, and remember, you are not playing alone, just because you found an amazing spot to take shots from, doesnt means that your gunner has a clear shot or that he can see anything

And use the vehicles effectively, dont kidnap the tank to snipe from the edge of the map or the rooftop in hourglass, dont be that guy, you are only making things harder for your team, and whatever you might get will never be worth as much as letting the team use the vehicles effectively, dont be a child, this is not kindergarten

And as a light/smaller vehicle driver, be mindful of the heavier vehicles, tanks can easilly threw over a bolte, and the movement gets very restrictive when two vehicles collide, plus you will lose health, save yourself the embarrasment of blowing up and dying right on the spawn when the match starts, steer clear of tanks and other heavy vehicles when you drive the smaller ones

[thorn helm]

can you blow-glass Diamond into a oval submarine

[compact sleet]

I hate when people do that

[thorn helm]

it is more than 16,000 PSI at the bottom of the Mariana Trench

[worn merlin]

tanks are supposed to be more of a long-distance weapon. I think there's a gap with this player base to understand strategy over just like sandbox cartoon gameplay

[sage ingot]

Same, I wish there was a way to restrict who can use vehicles, as in a vote to ban you from using vehicles for X ammount of time, or directly just a vote to kick because you are not contributing to the game

[compact sleet]

Yes. On the glacier map it’s so annoying when ten of the sixty people on your team are sitting on the glacier when your going for the oil rig.

[sage ingot]

I get it, I barely use my tank to capture unless I am sure the place is clear, a good placed tank on the hill of Breakaway can keep both E, F and C for your team the whole match, but there is a difference between that and simply using it to snipe people from rooftops or from the corner of the map

[worn merlin]

essentially a tank in cover shooting at enemy at long rang is strategically just smarter. right we could keep adding weapons over and over again countering with the other person is going to do

i could nuke it also ...right

we could bomb them but there are no bombers

[wooden tusk]

Using the tank to take an objective is suicide when every single person has a launcher or C4

[worn merlin]

we could do a long list of stuff but not in BF

[sage ingot]

I think there is a lot of simplification in the vehicles, and I hate it

[compact sleet]

There should be bombers. And there should be an air strike mechanic like bfv but with more than one air strike use

[sage ingot]

Before we had bombers, different helicopter types and different vehicle tipes, now all we have is the same 4 vehicles but on different loadouts

[thorn helm]

yeah

or laser designator for weapons

[worn merlin]

yeah what I was going to type up was is I think the game in needs somewhere in between median of a strategy game but not as slow as say a game like Squad or post scriptum.

[sage ingot]

Well, taking B on Alang without a tank is basically a suicide, those hills are just MG nests and the tower is perfect for snipers

[sage ingot]

We had that, but for some reason, ti got simplyfied over the time, we had a lot of stuff back in BF4, even AA only vehicles

Like, why take the cable rocket launcher and leave us with just the futuristic rpg?

[worn merlin]

My overall point is there must be some way to find a median between a game like hell let loose and other similar strategy games but with a battlefield look and feel. typically FPS games that are more strategy-based or are slower have more complex mechanics

[sage ingot]

The thing is, it used to be just like you descripbe

[worn merlin]

so where is the median so that Battlefield isn't slow as dirt

[sage ingot]

I dont have that, but corpses remain on the ground for a long time for me, it looks... beautiful to see the ground of dead people after a 5 minute holding defense

I differ on that, I think we did

[thorn helm]

they're the right size

[sage ingot]

Wait, I mean, the bigger maps the 2042 ones were what we needed toa degree, but yeah, huge maps like in verdun, we dont need that

[worn merlin]

Battlefield needs a balance between the player count in the map sizes. I was a supporter of the player count increase but that was based on the map sizes of older Battlefield games. a higher player count allowed for better map control, essentially you can have your team can be split into two groups that can cover both sides of the map. Conquest with a lower player count seem to open spaced with very little combat between the objective gaps

[dusky blade]

Does anyone here wanna be taught some Latin
I’m bored

[worn merlin]

increasing Map size because you increase player count kind of defeated the purpose of the player count increase in the first place

[viscid pewter]

so dice said theres a patch this week yesterday , anyone can confirm there system/s ??

[sage ingot]

I think that the map size was also needed, because imagine the old maps but with double the people, too much stuff going on too many things, the not fun kind of chaos

Well, I'm off to suffer because Angel does it again, cya in a few

[thorn helm]

yeah alot of firing scatter

[lyric lance]

Tbh I think the map sizes are fine anyway, there's just a lack of map decoration and design in general.

[thorn helm]

i think theyre beautiful

[tacit sorrel]

They all almost play the same

[dusky blade]

Gameplay > looks

[sage ingot]

Hourgalss, Breakaway and the port one are, Alang is just ugly

[lyric lance]

I mean, in photos and graphics sense, sure. But gameplay wise? They're just not fun.

[worn merlin]

the first difference in a game like hell let loose or any FPS strategy game is communication. but with a player increase in a balance and map sizes you have essentially attackers and Defenders...or a player count that can essentially make frontlines on each side of the map. Part of the reason BF is chaos is because there is no communication and the pace of battlefield is faster. something as simple as decreasing the character movement speed would reduce the chaos . like I said I don't know where the medium is. I think a battlefield test server has been well overdue for years

[tacit sorrel]

They should’ve taken notes from the bad company’s bf3 bf4 maps

[thorn helm]

Alang is my Favorite though I like the Flooded sewer flag backidk

[sage ingot]

I adore the chaos, I think it is in the perfect degree, but having the old maps in bigger playcount would be the wrong kind of chaos

[worn merlin]

who wants the old map some of us want a new game

regurgitating Battlefield 4 is just a poor ass idea

[lyric lance]

Funny thing is that we already have battlefield test servers in the past, with BF4 CTE which was created solely for the community to help DICE fix BF4s mess.

[worn merlin]

alright that's fine but how open were these servers and where did they go?

what was isn't not any more

[sage ingot]

Also, this is gonna be... political and controversial, but I like the ingame lines of most specialists, peopel compares them to BFV, but most of those soldiers were kids that were forcefully dragged into that conflict, they didnt enrolled in that, they didnt wanted to do that, so them being panicked and manic all the time makes sense, while the operators know what they are doing, they chose that lifepath, fear has no place in the battlefield for a modern soldier, the engame lines are mostly fine if you take out the cringe trifecta Mckay, Angel, Sundance

[lyric lance]

They were very open, you could just download the client and start playing in the CTE while contributing to the forums once in a while

But for some reason DICE didn't implement CTEs anymore for V and 2042

[sage ingot]

We dont even have an oficial server count for BF2042, so...

[thorn helm]

keep lines just add more

[sage ingot]

The ingame card of Exodus implies we are gonna get 5 more specialists, so maybe updates for old ones too

[worn merlin]

okay ..I don't know anything about it I'm just wondering why isn't the test server so common that the particular server is essentially in your game menu in origin. especially for a live service game

I mean you got a playerbase that wants this game to be a little bit more competitive and the other half wants it to be a cartoon klusterfuk . I don't know where you find that median. I don't really care about the classes with or the specialist all I know is I want to have a list of guns and gear that I pick from customizing my effectiveness in a Battlefield. but I think this community needs to come to an understanding that we cannot have everyone being able to carry sniper rifles and lock on weapons otherwise Battlefield will never reach a ttk that makes any sense

but somehow he'll at lose pulls off a decent ttk with 100 players

the game feels extremely balanced that's why even one tank feel so powerful because not everyone can carry AT weapons. so the select few that actually can carry AT weapons has to focus on their job. but that's strategy-based not cartoon klusterfuk based

I mean I like the idea of co-op...Co-op used to be a semi standard with FPS games back with consoles... I don't know if the co-op element was reduced because of lost sales..

I think any Dev team that has the time to create Co-op and even sold school split screen should put the time into it

old school*

I mean how many people here love playing 007, Duke Nukem, Turok,Halo TimeSplitters etc... to help support Co-op modes you could have weapons that are unlocked during Co-op for multiplayer

I mean I read endless ideas for video games across the board and I don't know at what point you get any of these ideas produced. I just know when I see a battlefield trailer or a gif on line that shows some giant explosion that's not in the game you gotta start questioning the business aspect of the company and how it interferes with quality

I don't know much about whatever is happening with EA and government censorship. I mean what exactly are you referring to?

if you're talking about the narratives or stories I don't have much of a say on that

there is this philosophy that video games can play a crucial role in expanding the minds of our youth but at this moment im just trying to play a video game

oh ok i get you

well there must be some way around that. as a player if you called an M16 and M57 i dont really care....but it does cause a game to lose authenticity

an m57

[thorn helm]

yeah

[worn merlin]

wait are you saying you're trying to create a drone and you don't know what kind of Wheels to put on it

[thorn helm]

how many wheels/

[worn merlin]

what's interesting is if the physics/ mechanics of the landscape impacted vehicle movement it would matter more

personally I would try to customize it if you have the capability create your own kind of design.....I mean really there are only so many options

as of right now I don't have an instant answer....what's the overall strategy and purpose of this vehicle that's the mind frame I would start with....Triangular Tank Tracks is what i would think about

I mean if you just stick with the standard because it doesn't matter based on the physics I would just go with solid tire

[thorn helm]

tucked under ?

the armor

[worn merlin]

but if you're trying to give the game a little texture I would have to see how the vehicle looks before making that kind of decision

[thorn helm]

I have a stupid concept

[worn merlin]

yeah I would put it under the armour.... it's a solid tire but eventually it can be destroyed

that was the other element missing from this game was tank customization...not that important... but you can add the armor cover the wheels it to the tech tree as something to unlock that makes the vehicle stronger

[thorn helm]

yes

[worn merlin]

I think like everybody else I'm open to more content. how it plays and feels is the real question

[thorn helm]

ohmg i found it

[rugged citrus]

battlefield-2042

[worn merlin]

so your saying this thing as remote controlled but a helicopter passenger

you know that doesn't seem too crazy of an idea

haha

[thorn helm]

Tank you...

[worn merlin]

so if the chopper gets shot down and the player dies can people jump into the vehicle that's just left on the battlefield

[thorn helm]

or self destruct

[worn merlin]

I think leaving it on the battlefield is a better idea so that way you have to be careful and not lose control of the vehicle to the enemy.

I was wondering if your concept would work for what I was talking about with about replacing lav with some sort of a vehicle that has a deploy option that essentially operates like an FOB.

[thorn helm]

nothing you can call it in

[worn merlin]

I mean essentially creating some degree of an armored Fortress that can be deployed for a strategic spawn

I think regardless of the deploy option people would get a kick out of a quick armored vehicle.

that's why I was wondering about its purpose on the battlefield is besides its main Cannon

do you think I could play the role like the Greyhound did in Battlefield 5 dropping health and ammo crates

I'm just trying to understand what it's functioning is besides shooting shells. like what makes it unique and its purpose on the battlefield

[thorn helm]

could have back packs on it for those

[worn merlin]

I would put some thought into creating creative rounds or shells for the vehicle. essentially it's one of the only vehicles that has that shell option. white phosphorus he smoke shell for example ... you mean the B-52H

I mean I don't know if you're just f****** with me but that's not a terrible idea. it would definitely add character to the gameplay seeing a B-52H in the air dropping the vehicles that are called in.

unless this is for a completely different idea but having any aircraft fly over while dropping vehicles would add character and a feel (sound) to thebattlefield

[thorn helm]

oh yeah it does have one bomb bay door so i guess but it was meant for AA

[worn merlin]

yeah I get you I'm not a hundred percent familiar with every vehicle in Modern War so I'm just trying to understand its purpose or what it's capable of doing

is this going to be linked to a commander?

assuming the commander ever comes back the battlefield

I did notice that small arms fire and even med arms fire doesn't impact armor or aircraft

do you think this will ever change?

[thorn helm]

probably not

[worn merlin]

my point was regarding any of the guns that are on vehicles the ammunition types should actually have an impact

[thorn helm]

itd be arma 3 situation where insta death upon spawns

[worn merlin]

which is something you need to unlock and have equipped

I mean I'm talking like 000.5 percent damage

or whatever is considered very low.....but it would be enough to scare off a pilot

[thorn helm]

with bullet impact marks

sounds too

[worn merlin]

no I'm just trying to think about the situations where no one shoots AA and you have a helicopter hovering in your face. If people could at least look up and start firing at aircraft so it loses balance and does enough damage to where as the pilot rethinks hovering right in front of you

so what's the function of the acid round ?

like is it mainly splatter type damage that leaves a mess on the landscape

I don't know if Battlefield players are gonna go for acid rounds... I wouldn't mind seeing how gas would work. plus it would give you a reason to have to wear gas masks, but the gas mask doesn't take up a gear slot it's something everyone has.

that would be interesting to see how it impacts Vehicles when it hits and overtime it just eats at the armor

so basically like the Harrier but cooler Harrier

the Harrier was like my favorite jet of all times

yeah I think the mask should have some degree of impairment

unless the gas is built into the landscape to where breakthrough pushes you into a polluted territory where the fighting will stay for a little while. having the narrator say something along the lines of " put your masks on " whatever....

so that way you don't have to deal with creating the weapons but the environment itself is essentially polluted

could be an interesting Chernobyl map......you need to fall back around the nuclear plant that is leaking because of combat and essentially have to wear your mask for that particular duration for the fight

my main philosophy or what my focus is at times is the purpose of the design and the way a piece of content changes the strategy and gameplay

[thorn helm]

idk gtg

nite

[worn merlin]

haha i was just gonna say the same thing > it's getting late so i'm gonna get off. in the end all these ideas have to be balanced out. otherwise you're going to wind up having the bolt issue with some other vehicle

ill check in from time to time ... I just wanted to see Battlefield turn into something kick ass

[dusty elm]

are they going to add more guns to game anytime in the future?

[scenic tartan]

I think it's kind of crazy that all vehicles have infinite ammo while infantry has to resupply

[stiff pollen]

I LOVE BATTLEFIELD 2042

[mossy badge]

Balancing 🥲

[iron kraken]

where did breakthrough 64 man go?

i gues asking for 64 is a lil much xD

[mossy badge]

scoreboard

[iron kraken]

wat the actual fak

[mossy badge]

U can play halo Infinite , apex legends

[iron kraken]

no you

[mossy badge]

If you have played more than 2 hours u will never get refund until special case

Try Warzone , pubg then

[rugged citrus]

guys i think that the reason why they are delaying the scoreboard is that THEY JUST DONT CARE

[mossy badge]

Fortnite also

[glossy storm]

You know, you can swear freely here.

[rugged citrus]

there are more problems in the game than a damn scoreboard so thats why they dont care about it

[glossy storm]

No need for censorship.

[mossy badge]

He is careful

U can try Hunt Showdown

[rugged citrus]

yeah uhh mod

this dude is gonna blow, can any mods come in?

REQUESTING MODERATOR SUPPORT ON MY MARKER

[mossy badge]

Ooofff u used motherxxxxxx word but not fxxx

[glossy storm]

@foggy tundra, Brynin is going on a rant.

[rugged citrus]

@foggy tundra brynin now is abusing you, he gonna blow man he in the #battlefield-2042 channel

[mossy badge]

Calm down bro 😔 they will mute you man

[glossy storm]

He just said that he doesnt care.

[mossy badge]

Yep I see

[rugged citrus]

brynin whats ur opinion on bf2042

[mossy badge]

Homie

😭😭😭🏳️🏳️🏳️

Today's casualty

[rugged citrus]

how muchj

[mossy badge]

We just lost 1 man

[rugged citrus]

oh no, im not being sarcastic but 1 life is a lot my dudes

[mossy badge]

Every life matters man 😭😔

[rugged citrus]

agree a lot

[drowsy sapphire]

What the heck did I miss

[rugged citrus]

you missed an angry ranter swearing at the devs and mods

[gilded steeple]

So i have played Battlefield since Bad Company 1 and im just wondering if you guys think its as bad as i hear litterally everywhere else?

[mossy badge]

Maps are ewwwww

[scenic tartan]

No not really. My biggest annoying thing rn is lack of players

[arctic grove]

lack of voip and lack of class restrictions.

[arctic grove]

That's the Annoying part of online games

lack of teamplay in general

[gilded steeple]

is it pretty much warzone tho?

[arctic grove]

No

[sacred ruin]

[arctic grove]

The sad thing is warzone is actually more fun

And I despise warzone

[sacred ruin]

[arctic grove]

Yes

[scenic tartan]

What

[arctic grove]

nothing about the game is similar to warzone

[gilded steeple]

I just feel like from what ive seen it doesnt feel like battlefield anymore

[scenic tartan]

[arctic grove]

unless you’re inferring war zone is a walking simulator

[arctic grove]

It isn't

[scenic tartan]

No it's not like warzone lmao what

https://tenor.com/view/drake-confused-face-what-wait-gif-24734187

[arctic grove]

something 2042 isn’t much of itself either depending on how you spawn

[scenic tartan]

It's just a game with capture points and vehicles/infantry mix and gadgets you pick that change what you can contribute to your team

So basically a battlefield game.

[muted plume]

i think it’s the hero aspect people don’t like

[mossy badge]

Thing is biggest development team , no campaign to work completely on multiplayer and still game launched soooo horribly + they said they were ahead of schedule and now they want months and months and still no actual content these are the things that is awful + maps are ewwwwww and game lacks atmosphere and some basic features that even free to play games got but not a game that is asking 60$ sad part is they knew that game is not in good state still launched it

[scenic tartan]

It's literally just gadgets with a character model. People aren't very smart.

[plucky plaza]

“Ahead of schedule”

[mossy badge]

🥲🙌🏳️

[arctic grove]

my understanding is, ahead of schedule must have been something entirely different and it doesn’t have to mean the game won’t have bugs, no clue just my thoughts on it

[scenic tartan]

It's easy to feel ahead of schedule before testing is completed

[sacred ruin]

It is a good game but it isn't fully completed tho

[muted plume]

old system had 4 classes, all of which were unnamed soldiers, not someone who you can change the way they look, equip any weapon, gadget, and had a name and was hero like. i’m only arguing what other players think not what i think so don’t think i’m arguing with you i’m just showing their point of view

[arctic grove]

Battlefield has always had the same thing 4 classes that have specific roles that help when you use teamwork and it's never changed until now

[muted plume]

well i’m going to bed

[arctic grove]

it’s not, but that’s why I have faith it’ll get it together in Summer, with milsim skins, more guns, by that time hopefully completely reworked base game maps plus the additional new ones, new specialists that hopefully look more militaristic or at least have skin options available to, specialist rework and whatever it entails, voip, squadplay changes, list goes on

[scenic tartan]

Blah blah blah blah blah the game still has limited gadgets restricting weapons was always meaningless from a teamplay aspect

You literally just can't get over the idea that if it doesn't say "classes" you think there's no teamplay

[muted plume]

are you stupid? i just said i’m not arguing with you

[scenic tartan]

Bf4 let you use a carbine or dmr or shotgun on any class this isn't that different

[scenic tartan]

No, I just don't see how unrestricted weapon selection has any effect at all on the teamplay.

[arctic grove]

how can you argue what other people think and say you aren’t arguing people when someone disagrees?

just curiously asking

[arctic grove]

You didn't have access to all weapon types Recon has snipers

[muted plume]

dude doesn’t know how to argue properly

[arctic grove]

Do you see a medic having a sniper rifle

[scenic tartan]

The concern over classes is entirely in people's heads and symantic

[arctic grove]

the classes is more so changed to be assigned depending on specialists abilities, but yes, you can run an “assault” gun class with a sniper

[scenic tartan]

Yes, so what. He sits out on a hill and heals himself. No big deal

[arctic grove]

Because it's worked since day 1 and that's what defines Battlefield people working together as classes you've got your specific healer your engineer your recon

[scenic tartan]

Ok but actually give a reason why it matters if a medic can use a sniper rifle.

[mossy badge]

Now its all in one let's gooooo

[arctic grove]

keep in mind yes you can rearm and heal yourself but the two specialists dedicated to both roles still fill it at a much more efficient scale

[plucky plaza]

From my experience the BF community isnt very cooperative a lot of ppl just do their own shit

[arctic grove]

Because the medic is supposed to be in the front lines reviving and healing those in the heat of Battle

Not protecting someone who's using a 40 times ballistic zoom

which is why I’m confused as to why people talk about specialists = ruined gameplay, no they didn’t, Angel and falck are still incredibly important to a teams overall performance, and it’s not like vehicle players weren’t always doing their own thing and mostly securing kills for themselves

[scenic tartan]

Well they are just kind of being both a bad medic and a bad sniper since they haven't picked a recon-like gadget...
So the game gives you the freedom to make loadout choices that aren't very effective. So what?

[mossy badge]

I am a good medic I try to heal enemies also and this way I sacrificed myself alot

[scenic tartan]

Are you seeing a ton of medic snipers in the game? I don't think they are dominating games..

[arctic grove]

nope

[scenic tartan]

Anyone who's trying to snipe that isn't using the soflam is nerfing themselves. It's so good at spotting

[arctic grove]

exactly

[plucky plaza]

Soflam ppl are chads

[arctic grove]

But on 2042 I see snipers using a medic crate or ammo box

just aim and move your mouse or joystick around and it just spotted several dudes for you that you can see regardless of the terrain they’re around, for easier shots

[scenic tartan]

And? How does this affect the game at all? Do you think they would snipe less if they couldn't?

[mossy badge]

Snipers in 2042 has medicine degree also

[arctic grove]

just remember. Even if a sniper has a medkit nearby, it has nothing to heal until the sniper is shot, so prioritize headshots, that way the medkit is useless anyways

[arctic grove]

No I'm just saying they could be using something more useful but they don't since you can only have one gadget people don't pick spawn beacons

spawn beacons are a little underwhelming since you can only spawn on your squads beacon, I wish they’d change it

[scenic tartan]

So the sniper would be in the same spot away from battle and wouldn't have medkit if the game has bf4 classes.
This wouldn't change anything

[arctic grove]

So then people can't spawn closer to the battle or spawn behind the enemy

unless it always worked this way but I swear I recall the ability to spawn on every teammates beacon

[scenic tartan]

It sounds like you've got more of a problem with snipers instead of classes

[scenic tartan]

No otherwise people would be pouring out of the spawn beacons it's limited by squad

[uncut notch]

Just skill issue

[arctic grove]

true

[arctic grove]

If they get hit once and survive they can just move and wait until they Auto heal don't need it

[mossy badge]

Balancing

[arctic grove]

Exactly

[scenic tartan]

I don't think this is the huge advantage you think it is, because the sniper still has to hide and wait for Regen. It's just a few seconds faster.

There are other gadgets that give a sniper much better advantage in a loadout

[rugged citrus]

how to own snipers: camp with a pkp-bp bipoded

[golden garnet]

As if you're any different with a pkp-bipod

[rugged citrus]

pkp bp aka PKP blood pressure

[scenic tartan]

I don't think you can even say that having rez as a sniper is that big a deal because a squad of snipers could always rez each other, even without falke or angel

[rugged citrus]

farmed countless snipers by just pressing Z and holding LMB on their head

[arctic grove]

okay here’s the disadvantage of this, unless you stay in one spot, that buys valuable time to relocate slightly, that way when the sniper re surfaces they have to re aquire you, which is precious time to hopefully shoot again and kill

[arctic grove]

Auto region is slower, giving the person who wants to cross the area more time because the sniper is occupied on not dying

[golden garnet]

Its a drum mag sniper rifle on a bipod

[rugged citrus]

pkp bp is the most versatile weapon in the game imo

farm at close range, mid range, bipod at long range, adaptable to every situation

[scenic tartan]

I mean if the sniper player really thinks this is a worthwhile use of their one gadget slot then I guess. I haven't seen many snipers doing it though.

[rugged citrus]

sure you might say the AC-42 is more versatile than the pkp, OH PLEASE, THAT THINGS BURST DELAY IS SO HIGH I CANT EVEN KILL PPL IN MID RANGE

[mossy badge]

Vanguard

[arctic grove]

tap fire it, it’s a monster

[rugged citrus]

full auto it with a bipod

[arctic grove]

AC42 I mean

[rugged citrus]

ac42 sucks

i tried tapping it on semi my dude, its just a weaker dmr that way

[arctic grove]

works for me very well

[scenic tartan]

One of the dice weapon guys said on here the ac42 tapfire is too strong

[rugged citrus]

i'd use the dm7 any given day above the garbage42

[scenic tartan]

Probably going to be reduced in fire rate I think

[rugged citrus]

tap fire ac42 can get farmed by dmrs, other ars, absolutely destroyed by LMGs, and snipers

[arctic grove]

everything will tbh, nightbird, transports, kind of a bummer

[rugged citrus]

only thing that the ac42 beats are prolly the smgs

[arctic grove]

It's a nice feature but it throws everything out of whack so you have to guess if they're using a rocket or have an ammo box that's why the classes have worked so well for so long so you don't have to guess what you're facing if it's a medic or an engineer who could shoot you down

good point

[scenic tartan]

I honestly have never considered what class an enemy is
I just shoot at them

[arctic grove]

Bullets around their neck they have an ammo box most likely

[rugged citrus]

agree, cant even tell an support from an engineer

[scenic tartan]

If you're in a vehicle you don't really behave differently until you see a rpg cme flying

If you're infantry, you want them shot dead regardless and win the gunfight

[rugged citrus]

if u see a support bippoded as infantry while ur in the open you might as well give up

[arctic grove]

I pay attention so I know what they're most likely using like there gun class and if I'm the CoPilot in the attack helicopter and I see an engineer I can tell the pilot to watch out

[plucky plaza]

Headshot them with sniper

[mossy badge]

I wonder if bf franchise completely forget about class system in next games

[rugged citrus]

what do you do if lmgs can own you in less than a sec

[arctic grove]

doubt

[rugged citrus]

and the suppression too

[plucky plaza]

Then i own them in less than a second

[arctic grove]

with the backlash received with 2042 it’s probably more profitable to return to a class system next title

[arctic grove]

I don't know

[mossy badge]

Good thing if they listen what majority says

[mossy badge]

😔

[plucky plaza]

Cant remember the last time i played infantry in 2042

[arctic grove]

Well everyone's been used to it all the old players know what they should be looking for again bullet around the neck they most likely have an ammo box

[desert elbow]

You can see if a person has an ammo / medic crate next to their name now

[arctic grove]

The enemy

never use mint mouth wash then immediately drink cold water

[desert elbow]

Don’t know why you’d need to know if they have ammo

[arctic grove]

Because they can support their team

[plucky plaza]

Mint with water feels so good and bad at the same time

[arctic grove]

You can run out of ammo quickly in Battlefield 4

[plucky plaza]

Feels very refreshing to me honestly

[mossy badge]

I love that feeling so I actually do it a lot

😳

[scenic tartan]

If you're looking for AA you look for the big tube of the stinger not the class

[wide shore]

I run out of ammo constantly in 2042. Mixture of staying alive too long and having shitty aim. Also, using drum mags.

[full gust]

how do i get into a game? just sat in Que for 45 mins

[mossy badge]

Drum mags in vangaurd is best

[arctic grove]

Cough hit reg

[wide shore]

If they weren’t so cursed, maybe

[lyric lance]

game has low population, just keep waiting.

[mossy badge]

Nothing is cursed

It's just every class in vangaurd is an engineer 🥲

[wide shore]

Drum mag on an M1 Garand that still pings when empty

[mossy badge]

Historically accurate

[wide shore]

Good troll

[arctic grove]

??????????????????

[wide shore]

Talking about Vanguard

[arctic grove]

No the drum mag on a m1 grand and it still pings

[mossy badge]

This is fact though

[arctic grove]

WTF the game is unplayable

[rugged citrus]

wdym?

wdym everyones an engineer

[mossy badge]

In vangaurd soldiers can customise their gun very efficiently because they got engineering degree also

[rugged citrus]

oh ok so that explains the m1 garand drum mag

[mossy badge]

Yep

Engineering at its peak

[wide shore]

It’s terrifying

[lyric lance]

Idk why everyone dunks on it tho, I find the customization amazing.

[mossy badge]

Nobody got brain left

[rugged citrus]

really bro

[wide shore]

It’s amazing but it doesn’t fit the game

[mossy badge]

Atleast you got it

[lyric lance]

That is true, would love to see this level of gun customization on games set in the modern/future setting.

[mossy badge]

🤣👍

Louis Pasteur will be proud

[desert elbow]

Why do u need to know that though

If they are on the enemy team I mean

[next onyx]

To cut their resources.

[arctic grove]

what I was thinking

[mossy badge]

Yo

[wide shore]

Idk man. If I see a group of enemies I’m just gonna try to kill them all. Respawns are too quick to be worrying about whether or not you’ll cripple the team by killing a medic.

[next onyx]

It's the same reason why you kill assaults, But mostly because of their weapons.

Yeah to be honest as it goes there's less of a reason to pick off certain members.

[arctic grove]

Focus fire them

[rugged citrus]

the worst voicelines in the game come from sundance and paik

[wide shore]

“Today… today I’m proud”

[rugged citrus]

URGH I FEEL LIKE KILLING MYSELF WHEN I HEAR THAT (just a joke not really)

"thats it! im ready for round two!"

mackay and angel are kinda cringy but not annoying

[next onyx]

To be honest I end up blanking out at the end.

[wide shore]

I usually just check my phone.

[golden garnet]

I think mackay is worse than angel

[wide shore]

MacKay is the worst

[next onyx]

Going through 5000+ best squad screens it kinda just happens.

[golden garnet]

Just want to force Mackay to take a nibble out of the elephants foot

Why couldn't they just do the BF1 thing where they just pose and awkwardly stare at the screen

That was allright

[uncut notch]

I’d rather easily get the high ground on someone with mackay

[golden garnet]

I'm talking about one liners

not gameplay

[next onyx]

To be honest in bf5 I would have liked to buy custom dog tags and end of screen poses.

May of worked for the elites but imagine Seamus's animation on a regular soldier.

[golden garnet]

Hmm, don't really mind the poses as much personally. I think they're whatever.

[lament sail]

this game sucked

i think i have like 8 hours on the game and just stopped playing it

[rugged citrus]

ahem paik ahem

[foggy crest]

we all are sinned

[next onyx]

Yeah I definitely do think they would get more bang out of your buck than just a line.

I don't necessarily care for the lines but I can imagine they get tiring after a while just like from black ops 3.

[foggy crest]

Call of Duty BLACK OPS 5

🙌

[hot folio]

Battlefield 5 is super good and unironically it’s my favorite battlefield

[next onyx]

I'm with you on that.

Bf5 was great despite its issues.

It sweetened during battlefield to the pacific but I think largely the negative PR is what got dice to really can it.

[hot folio]

We were gonna get pacific grand operations 😭 but yeah it was selling for dirt cheap and they were probably getting no revenue from it

Bad launch means people are gonna have bad opinions on it for a while

List of what we would get if EA never cut the game support

1. Invasion Gamemode
   Build airfields and factories and destroy enemy resources while protecting your own
2. Conquer and Destroy
   Take the beachheads on the beach. Arm and destroy all beachheads to win
3. Operation Gamemode
   Potential remake of grand operations to be more like BF1

[gleaming dawn]

oh god bf5 would be great

like, bf4 but with ships

I'd play it all day and all night

[next onyx]

To be fair they must of looked into grand ops but never really explored it. I was hoping for a Carrier assault cause that would have made sense but nope.

[hot folio]

Tank Gamemode with only tanks would be 8v8

[hot folio]

I would of loved a Gamemode with only planes in the pacific like BF1

[gleaming dawn]

remember when we could drive ships?

[next onyx]

An Aerial superiority would have gone well too for levelling planes since everyone was rushing to get one in the normal modes to test out how broken they were.

[hot folio]

The pacific was really the turning point of battlefield 5

[gleaming dawn]

I've been playing this new one for awhile now and I really don't think it's as bad as people are saying. Unfinished, yes.

[hot folio]

Soviet, French, and Italian flags were found in the game files

[gleaming dawn]

But this is a fine base for a bf game

a couple more gadgets, and I don't think anyone would be complaining

[hot folio]

Just doesn’t have the “war” vibe of the other battlefields

[gleaming dawn]

I really don't get why people are complaining about the class system. Now you can create kits and switch between them. It's better

[hot folio]

When the last two battlefield games were really dark with brutal killing animations and soldiers crying for help and then going to 2042 I can see why people didn’t really like it

[lyric lance]

Because classes are pretty much one of the core features and identity of Battlefield. The point is that each class has limitations so you are forced to work with each other and within your classes' specialization.

[gleaming dawn]

Right and the kits you can create are the same

Haven't you ever wanted to be able to switch kits in previous bf games?

[hot folio]

I think he’s just talking about the specialists

[lyric lance]

No, because when I'm a medic, I focus on my role as a medic. When I play engineer, I play as engineer. etc. etc.

[gleaming dawn]

right, until you need to switch.

[hot folio]

Battlefield 5 perfected it in my opinion, you are a little less of a generic soldier but you have alot of choices so it doesn’t get repetitive, and with the customization you can do whatever you want

[lyric lance]

Yes but you have to die. Again that's the point, limitation breeds creativity because you have to rely on your teammates unless you want to waste precious team tickets.

[gleaming dawn]

no bf5 didn't perfect anything so no

[hot folio]

cope

[gleaming dawn]

"Limitation breeds creativity" ok bro, no. The one thing they did right with this one was allow you to create kits

[hot folio]

It really depends on the type of player you are

[lyric lance]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5FL9VTBZzQ&ab_channel=TED-Ed

[gleaming dawn]

They hit so many details of this right, and I think they can still fix it with a few more vehicles and guns

This one feels more like bf2, and I like that it's different

bf1 and bf5 seemed off

But what kills me is that, since this was going to be a return to bf3/4, they didn't get all of the vehicles and gadgets in

[hot folio]

lol like I said it depends on the type of player you are

If you want a brutal and dark game play Battlefield 1-5

If you want some realism but a more fun experience go with games before BF1

[gleaming dawn]

My favorite was probably bf2 and I mentioned that

I mentioned that this one feels like bf2 I mean

The annoying thing is that we seem to lose shit every iteration. Why don't we have ships anymore?

Why not IR sights for the tank gunners?

TV missile?

I think everyone likes big maps and vehicles, that's a Battlefield staple. But why do we get 120 player maps and lose a lot of things we used to have?

[wooden steeple]

stfu

[lyric lance]

I guess it's to balance stuff. 120 players is very expensive to run, in 2042's case tho I just think it's just unfinished.

[gleaming dawn]

I guess, but I bet everyone would've liked BF4 with upgraded textures and player count

[lyric lance]

True, but they could just do it in portal. Though I think they're planning a BF2 map next for portal, basing on the leaks we had (the MGL, minigun and barrett battlepickups that were leaked which were only on BF2 maps if I remember correctly)

[desert elbow]

The MGL and the Barrett were BF4 battle pickups too if I recall

[lyric lance]

Now that you mention it, yeah BF4 had them too. The minigun tho was only ever in BF2. So maybe a BF2 and BF4 map? Dragon Valley most likely since it's both a BF2 and BF4 map that's popular.

[desert elbow]

Dragon Valley, Golf of Oman or even Karkand would be cool

If they ever do BF4 in Portal they gotta have Shanghai haha

That'd be sick

[iron blade]

Id like to see a bfv weapon drop in portal

I need my portable mg42 lol

[desert elbow]

I wouldn't even be mad if they copied and pasted the animations, they looked great

[iron blade]

Yeah

Id be pissed if they somehow fucked the anims up, some portal anims look really off

Like the ak74u, really clanky

[desert elbow]

The animations themselves are nice but I feel like some of them are bugged

Since most of them are transferred from AOW

[iron blade]

Yeah

Id like to have an mp5 in aow, its usually my fav smg in any modern fps

[arctic grove]

what happend to matchmaking broo

huh

[cyan trout]

[grizzled whale]

this is why i dont play portal

[iron blade]

Seems like a skill issue to me

[grizzled whale]

ah yes the invisible wall is a skill issue

[woven lynx]

yo uh.... when are they gonna add new guns?

[foggy crest]

impact of fortnite players on 2042

[grizzled whale]

Now that ive gotten all the primaries t1, time to have some fun quickscoping on portal

[arctic grove]

Once you hit level 100 this game gets boring or it’s just cause it’s not enough maps

playing the same shd gets tiring

What’s taking them so long?

[elder patrol]

Read me a bedtime story

[fringe bobcat]

Definitely ready for some updates !!

[arctic grove]

Word

[rugged citrus]

remember the leaks of bf2042 having a campaign and the minigun being a battle pickup

[glossy storm]

Good times.

[graceful hatch]

i mean if the devs were more skillful it wouldnt be there 🤷‍♂️

[dim blade]

Can this game be saved?

Yes or No

At its current state id rather play BF4

[fringe bobcat]

Played portal over the weekend with bF3 maps and 2042 weapons , made a massive difference .

Map layout etc , for me if the devs wanted to go in the right direction I’d add the portal maps and weapons straight to 2042 modes .

There’s still so much to work on but this is a nudge in the right direction

Who agrees ?

[dim blade]

Portal content to AOW would be a nice buffer

Cause no new content til summer anyway, it would be the smart move

[rugged citrus]

technically IS a skill issue LOL

[rugged citrus]

no

[mental cave]

[mossy badge]

Campaign of MW2 going to be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[fringe bobcat]

I think so ,

Don’t get me wrong the road to recovery starts this week and more content will be coming summertime but for now , I think if you merged all portal maps and weapons to AOW it would be a nice little buffer to start things off .

[dusky blade]

Does anyone want to learn some Latin

I’m so bored right now man

[dim blade]

Its monday morning, so busy that while cool as it sounds, not nearly enough time to learn latin

[dusky blade]

I mean I really can summarise the basics in 1 minute

Since you know the whole language is ending dependent

[quiet shell]

When are we getting the feedback questions for specialists

[dusky blade]

But fair fair, Latin is demanding

[dim blade]

such pain that is life atm

[sturdy patrol]

No, only season pass owners will be forced to play because of the bp

[dim blade]

gotta work to get the money to get the fuck out before the ruskies invade

[graceful hatch]

Technically not as the only way to save it is to do it differently

[next onyx]

First persons are pretty much dead at the moment.

[rugged citrus]

multiplayer might be garbage but i can say that the campaign will be amazing for sure

[mossy badge]

Multiplayer will be awesome

🏳️

[rugged citrus]

yeah im not sure about that because cod multiplayers are pretty toxic and terrible but the campaigns are just next-generation

[mossy badge]

Dude I everyday play cod and u will meet toxic people in every game I just mute everyone ez

[rugged citrus]

if bf2042 does get fixed and content comes by the time mw22 arrives bf2042 will steal all the multiplayer sales but campaigns, oh man i tried the campaigns and they are just SO GOOD

[mossy badge]

🤣🤣🤣

ok

[rugged citrus]

obv its unlikely bf2042 will get fixed

considering how EA loves to destroy great game franchises

[mossy badge]

It's not just ea

[rugged citrus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MKtgP7cHEk&t=9s&ab_channel=TomHenderson

completely EA's fault

[mossy badge]

Devs can't do their job on time

[rugged citrus]

TLDW: The game was created in about a year. The majority of DICE Senior Developers have left because EA told them to chase trends and they felt EA was hindering their creativity. Nobody currently employed at DICE has relevant Frost Bite experience to develop a AAA title. DICE is dead as a studio and cannot be trusted going forward to not only fix BF2042, but also with any major future title.

[grizzled whale]

when you hit the perfect grapple but your squadmate is being a bitch

[mossy badge]

What happened how you died

[grizzled whale]

teammate shot me

[mossy badge]

Hardcore server ?

[grizzled whale]

yeah

[mossy badge]

Pain

[grizzled whale]

to get those crisp 1 hit sniper kills

[mossy badge]

That was a sick grappling

[grizzled whale]

just messing around quickscoping

[rugged citrus]

bf2042 loading screen music > any other game except doom

[mossy badge]

EWWWWW

GARBAGE soundtrack

[soft swallow]

This week, 3.3 boys (And finally the return of weekly missions)

[dim blade]

Wouldnt say so no

Actually decent FPSes like Apex/CSGO are still going strong

[next onyx]

Ye I'm considering on giving Apex a go when my PC comes in.

Got some mates there.

Be great for training my aim.

[dusky blade]

Yeah it sucks

Honestly it all started with live service

Live service......ugh

[dim blade]

But yeah, i havent really been excited for any game tbh..

Maybe GTA 6? But im just setting myself up for dissapointment

[next onyx]

Live service isn't the worst but it's certainly popular.

[foggy halo]

Common sense says that battlefield should get better and better, but instead it only get worse and worse since bfv

[next onyx]

If Mw2-2's SBMM isn't BS I might play that.

[dim blade]

MW2-2 lmao

[torpid shuttle]

BS?

[dim blade]

I think its gonna be MW II

[next onyx]

Yeah Mw2-2 Is easier and funnier to say lol.

[dim blade]

Actually i am somewhat excited for the new Warzone 2

[torpid shuttle]

MW2-2 but zombie mode...

[next onyx]

Ironically people are gonna call it Mw22 so WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.

[dim blade]

If they maybe bring in some elements from Hazard Zone

Like having a way to win apart from being the last alive in a BR

[next onyx]

(I know the difference)

[dim blade]

Like i really hope Warzone II will be more than just another circle shrinking BR

[dusky blade]

Too bad, leakers say it will stay the same way it currently is for ALL future titles

[dim blade]

getting kinda old tbh

[mossy badge]

Spec ops

Rumour is third mode will be like escape from tarkov @torpid shuttle

@torpid shuttle no zombies no spec ops

[torpid shuttle]

Cool so... I can play it in solo right?

[mossy badge]

I don't think so it's PVP and PVE both

[dim blade]

terrible unless you buy skins?

[dusky blade]

Well of course, it’s still not SBMM but eomm

[mossy badge]

Merged together just like hunt showdown and escape from tarkov

[dusky blade]

You know how it is, doesn’t balance matches but purposefully rigs matches to keep you on a winning - losing streak that makes an addiction

Modern cod is WACK

[next onyx]

If I could I'd play black ops 2 again if people played it.

Main the SCAR H.

Or run HAMR for Scar loyalty.

[mossy badge]

U can download plutonium mod people who love bo2 still plays it everyday way san

[dim blade]

I remember during COD 4 era (i played on PC) where i would just visit my fav server on the server browser every day

[torpid shuttle]

Wow

[dusky blade]

Cod4 is SO GOOD, my favourite cod game

[next onyx]

Black ops 1 server browser whew.

[dim blade]

I know who played there often, there wasnt any sbmm apart from auto balance

[dusky blade]

The maps, perks, music, guns, sound effects, it was all amazing

[mossy badge]

Have you ever played hunt showdown ?

[next onyx]

I like Waw, I always ran the Mosin nagant with a bayonet or the FG42 with sleight of hand cause yeet.

[rapid moon]

Honse

[torpid shuttle]

No

[radiant zealot]

is there some confirmation of the game going f2p? if so i need to refund so i get my money back first

[dusky blade]

Yeah no game until AW had SBMM

Then the games didn’t after that, MW19 brought in eomm

[next onyx]

I had someone scream at me when black ops 2 became backwards compatible on the xbox one.

S12 go DOM DOM DOM.

Hehe.

[dusky blade]

And now... stats no longer matter

[rapid moon]

No

[radiant zealot]

cheers

[mossy badge]

Maybe microsoft will do it game will be on game pass we will be able to play all the cods if just microsoft do it 😍🤤

[next onyx]

Lol yeah if the deal goes through.

[dusky blade]

It’s confirmed they are

They say they’ll put everything possible on game pass, and all future games

[dim blade]

microsoft will take over the development of COD...?

[mossy badge]

Give it a try bro it's fun , scary and very addictive , gunplay and sound+ atmosphere and gameplay loop in perfect in that game

[mossy badge]

@next onyx 🙌🙌

[next onyx]

If it goes through.

Which it does look like it is.

[dusky blade]

Which it will 100%

[next onyx]

But there's a chance it might not.

[mossy badge]

Man I want to play black ops 4

[dusky blade]

Why wouldn’t it go through, Bobby knew the boat was sinking and even tried selling to Facebook

[next onyx]

It has to do something with microsoft buying out companies. Apparently this isn't their first time doing it.

[dusky blade]

Play some then :)

[lyric lance]

No, they just bought Activision so Microsoft is the new publisher for CoD games.

[dusky blade]

Yeah Microsoft has spent around $100,000,000,000 on buying publishers

In the past few years

[dim blade]

i cant even count the zeroes

[dusky blade]

100 billion

[dim blade]

is that a milliard?

or 100 billion

i think thats a milliard

[mossy badge]

I hope Starfield Hellblade 2 fable avowed works for them

[vivid nacelle]

Where are you from?

[dusky blade]

[vivid nacelle]

If from benil, then yes, 100 miljard

[mossy badge]

Toniq u will not play mw2 ???

[dusky blade]

No

[mossy badge]

😔

[dusky blade]

Well I already know it’s going to be awful, so why bother really

And as long as SBMM is there, nah chief

[mossy badge]

SBMM will be tweaked bro

[dusky blade]

How so?

[mossy badge]

It will be less strict

[dusky blade]

Will lobbies still disband?

[mossy badge]

Yes

[dusky blade]

If so, they’re still using eomm, and that’s the issue

Yeah then it’s a no go

Disbanding lobbies is what allows for the new system MW19 put into place

[mossy badge]

hmmmm

SBMM never been an issue for me

[dusky blade]

It tends to only hurt the better side of players, just how it is

[mossy badge]

I don't know man for me sbmm is ok and they said they tweaking it sooooooooo others can be ok with it

I hope it works for both side

[bitter plover]

Hello everyone, I search for matchmaking, it says waiting for other players, after a while, it goes to the main menu and finds the game again and this continues in a loop. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? Pls help me.

[young panther]

when does the first season start

[torpid shuttle]

Ok

[pine roost]

It’s just how it works out some times

[tiny imp]

In summer

[pine roost]

Btw has there been an actual date for the next patch?

Aside from just ‘this week’

[arctic grove]

You will NEVER see COD on Game Pass. They will lose to much money do that.

[mossy badge]

Hmmmm u not wrong

They will put old ones maybe

[foggy crest]

i am sooooooooo hyped for 1 map

[foggy crest]

and this operator that just got leaked coming to BF2042

[pine roost]

Phantom bow?

Also where’d you get that from?

[foggy crest]

she is outrider and that bow is sparrow

[pine roost]

But from what source?

If it’s been leaked I’d like to know where from

[low sparrow]

Guys when is the mythical update dropping?
It's getting really hard to find games in Asia region

[foggy crest]

she got leaked from Call of Duty BLACK OPS III files and data miners found her in BF2042 files also

[pine roost]

That’s strange

[low sparrow]

Same mate can't even find lobbies to play in

[pine roost]

Well they can’t just rip it off, probably some code name

I guarantee she will have a sonar arrow if she does make it into the game

One that produces a high pitch ‘that’s just how it works out some times’ to highlight enemies through walls

[low sparrow]

Will they make her pay to unlock?

[foggy crest]

we already have that kind of operator in BF2042 the wall hack thing isnt it ?

[pine roost]

I wouldn’t put it past them to do it again

[lyric lance]

No, but I assume it's either Tuesday or Wednesday. Otherwise if they release on Thursday or Friday, it'll negate the entire point of them delaying the update lmao.

[pine roost]

It could be on Monday

Or Tuesday, or Wednesday, or Thursday, or Friday

I’ve managed to wait 5 months for a scoreboard, this update won’t have anything meaningful anyway so it’ll just be more waiting

[lyric lance]

Yeah but remember, they said they delayed the update so that they can be 'onsite' when the patch is deployed rather than being off work during the weekends. So Monday-Wednesday is the most logical choice

[pine roost]

I suppose so

[low sparrow]

Is progression/XP blocked in portal mode?

[bitter plover]

How do we solve this problem?

[lyric lance]

On custom lobbies yes. On vanilla/DICE-made gamemodes, no

[pine roost]

You can’t. It’s cause of the low player counts, a server browser could potentially help solve it but that won’t be coming for a long time if at all

[low sparrow]

Enable crossplay if not already enabled.
I wait for prime times for my time zone ie. evenings

[bitter plover]

I also tried to turn off Crossplay and find games but nothing changed.

[rugged citrus]

COSPLAY?

BF2042 COSPLAY AS SPECIALISTS? NOO THATS JUST DISGUSTING

[pine roost]

Just get lossy to dress up as a cowboy

Boom

[lyric lance]

Turning off crossplay actually makes it worse so no surprise there.

[low sparrow]

Can't do nothing till DICE graces us with the upcoming update and Cope with us with some hopium.

[bitter plover]

Then I turned it back on but the same

[bitter plover]

Dice pls 😢 I just want to play bf

[rugged citrus]

bf2042 cosplay 🤢 🤮

[low sparrow]

Sir time to change your nick it's just 1315 players on steam rn.

Absolutely disgraceful

[graceful hatch]

u hate to see it 😂

[rugged citrus]

rip bf2042

[graceful hatch]

its almost like reinventing the wheel when people are asking u to just keep it simple and show then u possess a modicum of competence doesnt go down well

[low sparrow]

I sincerely hope it falls below 1k just for da memes

[lyric lance]

I remember at some point it did, but it was only very briefly.

[graceful hatch]

everyone will come back for season 1!

.>

[low sparrow]

More Hopeium

[rugged citrus]

if they do, they will see all the bugs and legacy features back and they might stay

season 1 might save the game

[graceful hatch]

i wonder if weve been bamboozled and its called 2042 not because its set in 2042, but because 2042 is the year the game will be fixed in

[foggy crest]

how many maps we getting btw for season 1 five maps ?

[pine roost]

I’m expecting only 1

[rugged citrus]

1 map, but ppl will come back to see new weapons and 1 new map etc and once they see that bugs are much less now and legacy features are back

[graceful hatch]

id be surprised if it was more than 1\

[pine roost]

That is broken and flat. Better to expect the worst

[foggy crest]

in 1 week or 2 things will become just like how it is right now if it is just 1 map

[graceful hatch]

yeah, thats why its funny

[rugged citrus]

they will stay if they find out the game has much less bugs

[low sparrow]

The worst part in this is that the Non-engaging "Community Managers" are still getting paid.

[graceful hatch]

theyve waited like 6 months at that stage to drop a single map and a couple guns, thats not going to bring anyone back for a decent period of time

[foggy crest]

maybe 1000 players come back

[graceful hatch]

the worst part is the idiots cant say anything intelligent and just keep digging the hole deeper instead of just putting their hands up and being honest

[rugged citrus]

community managers actually exist?

[lyric lance]

On the contrary, if they dropped 1 map, couple guns but with a HUGE amount of fixes I think it would restore a lot of faith. But knowing what we know from BFVs lifecycle, well...

[graceful hatch]

better to be suspected of being an idiot than to open ur mouth and remove all doubt

[pine roost]

Like if they’d come out and say ‘yeah we have this being developed right now’ and ‘that bug is fixed already’ I’d have some semblance of interest in what’s going on

[low sparrow]

Sir,
But Toxic community
Entitled players
Brutal expectations

[graceful hatch]

on the contrary even the ppl who like the game in its current state are bored of the lack of content. fixing bugs isnt going to bring anyone back

[rugged citrus]

+1, i like the game in its current acceptable-bugginess state but the lack of content is just

[graceful hatch]

its too late now but within the first month or 2 they shouldve just put their hands up and said "yeah this isnt good, we tried something new and not only has it not worked but its been executed poorly"

[foggy crest]

imagine if that 1 map also sucks

[graceful hatch]

instead we get "oh wow really guys u expect the game to work, these brutal expectations are unreal" lmao

[pine roost]

It’s called ‘exposure’. If that isn’t foreshadowing I don’t know what is

[foggy crest]

GG EA & DICE

[blissful hemlock]

They rescued battlefront 2 tbf

Doesn’t mean they’ll do it here but there’s a chance lol

[graceful hatch]

yeah they really saved that game, how many months was that 1hp bug in the game for again?

[foggy crest]

RIPPLE EFFECT , CRITERION

[rugged citrus]

wideee open spaces

[glad mulch]

My sister meant the map is called exposure since you will be exposed on a huge map with no cover, so you are exposed to all the enemies.

[blissful hemlock]

Lol that was after content was cancelled

The month they cancelled content battlefront 2 had 1 million new players lol

[graceful hatch]

what difference does that make? what faith should anyone have in a company that just fucks off and leaves a game in that state for that period of time? or that launches a game in the state battlefront 2 and bf2042 was in for that matter?

[lyric lance]

They had a super passionate lead dev though who really pulled everything together even with meager resources. I'm not sure if it's the same here.

[blissful hemlock]

Relax

[low sparrow]

Damm this is a sad state of affairs.
The game is buggy
The players have left
The fans are distraught
The Devs are confrontational

[blissful hemlock]

I’m not defending dice at all they’ve done an awful job lol

[graceful hatch]

i am relaxed? am i not allowed to state facts without automatically becoming emotional? just because u cant be objective dont assume to project the same onto me lmao

[blissful hemlock]

Just saying there’s still a chance might be revived, a very small chance however

[low sparrow]

People want someone to rage against.
If DICE don't respond they do that against fellow players

[grizzled whale]

they did a good job considering how fast they had to make the game

[blissful hemlock]

You seem very stressed

[arctic grove]

IF I had a lot of money I would have sued them for false advertisement

[grizzled whale]

you would lose that lawsuit

[graceful hatch]

projecting again, im not sure how ur getting "tone" or "emotion" from words on a screen, that can only come from how ur choosing to read it, which again, is an issue, not an ish-me lol

[arctic grove]

Nah

[blissful hemlock]

When did I suggest anything to contradict this statement lol

[blissful hemlock]

Sure sure buddy lol

[grizzled whale]

there was no false advertisement, everything that was advertised is in the game

[low sparrow]

I reiterated your message.

[blissful hemlock]

Excellent

[lyric lance]

Tbh they should've just delayed the game and released it this year instead of last year

[blissful hemlock]

Glad we are in agreement

[grizzled whale]

thats exactly what dice wanted, but EA didnt let them

[graceful hatch]

i mean there was that review that was legit twisted around to mean the complete opposite of what was said

[blissful hemlock]

[pine roost]

Yeah

[grizzled whale]

a review isnt advertisement from dice

[graceful hatch]

it is when they use it to advertise their game lol

[foggy crest]

maybe 10 years later we will see leaked gameplay of BF2042 campaign that got cancelled

[low sparrow]

EA would have won and taken your remaining wealth as reparations.
Lmao

[grizzled whale]

you cant sue a company when someone writes a review that is wrong

[blissful hemlock]

Scoreboard gonna be paid DLC they just haven’t announced it yet

[graceful hatch]

are u even reading what i wrote? EA twisted the review around by taking a small snippet of it and using that to promote the game. the guy never "reviewed it wrong" 😂

[grizzled whale]

i thought the dude wrote a review that had some bs things in it, my bad

although a scummy thing to do, still not really enough reason to sue for

[low sparrow]

Everyone expecting a good war should move to Ukraine.

[rugged citrus]

pls no jokes like that

[blissful hemlock]

I hope we get a Ukraine DLC

[graceful hatch]

the guy basically said (and im paraphrasing not quoting here) "when everything works, this is probably one of my favourite battlefields, but it just doesnt work, its broken and buggy" and EA turned that into - "probably one of my favourite battlefields" and used that to promote the game

[grizzled whale]

yeah thats a typical EA move, but just that wont win you a lawsuit

[graceful hatch]

i dont, itll be full of cringey virtue signalling where anyone who plays as the russian team automatically loses or something stupid like that. or russian team can only deal 1 damage per bullet lmao

[grizzled whale]

i cant wait to finally find out my KD after 5 months of sweating

[pine roost]

They’ll sell custom fonts

[blissful hemlock]

😭

[foggy crest]

yeah i have seen a video about it

[blissful hemlock]

Has something been mentioned about stats?

[grizzled whale]

yes

[pine roost]

They mentioned it, I don’t believe it’s for this patch is it?

[blissful hemlock]

Pog

[blissful hemlock]

I doubt it, it’ll probably be next Christmas as a seasonal DLC

[grizzled whale]

iirc the playerprofile should release with the scoreboard

[pine roost]

I hope so

[low sparrow]

How will they hide Bot k/d stats with a scoreboard?

It would be counterproductive if players can see bots bleeding tickets.

[lyric lance]

I assume they just won't record bot stats. At least that's what most other games do.

[low sparrow]

Oh
