battlefield-2042

[brittle kettle]

And it died with a whimper

[hexed mango]

i just said that twice dang

[hexed mango]

pavlov kinda outclassed it sadly

[tranquil turtle]

the last medal of honor game I got was moh vanguard on the wii 💀

[arctic grove]

Did they abandon this game or something?

[hexed mango]

📮

[brittle kettle]

Yes

We are all playing MOH warfighter lan

[arctic grove]

The update tomorrow only has a scoreboard, everything else is minor. The bugs from launch are still there.

[hexed mango]

when

[brittle kettle]

Ps4 shotgun still doesn't work

[arctic grove]

Nothing works 😂

Hola cómo estás

[hexed mango]

hola

[brittle kettle]

Take 8 shots at point black to kill only on ps4 but on other platforms it's only 2

[hexed mango]

estoy bien, y tu

[tranquil turtle]

specialists still exist

[arctic grove]

Specialists aren't even that bad anymore. There are worse issues than them

[brittle kettle]

But now we can buy our favorite funko pops of our favorite specialists

[hexed mango]

we can? 💒 dont question it

[brittle kettle]

Soon probably

[arctic grove]

$20 they are already working on the next BF.

[arctic grove]

which will fail too

[brittle kettle]

Hardline 2

[hexed mango]

yes battlefield heroes 2

[cyan trout]

Probably the next game engine

[arctic grove]

Yep. The game will be filled with bugs, and they won't be fixed. Just like 2042 😂

[brittle kettle]

It's not true battlefield if I can't sit on a plane wing

[tranquil turtle]

bruh i'd take a bf3 engineer funko pop over a mackay one any day of the week

[arctic grove]

Hablan español

[hexed mango]

(imo) || its improving ||

[arctic grove]

yo soy no

[hexed mango]

si, que necesitas

(no puedo usar acentos)

[brittle kettle]

I'm still irked they screwed up dog tags

[arctic grove]

i'm certain that a remastered version of battlefield 2 or 3 would have been better than 2042

[tranquil turtle]

4 is kind of a remaster of 2

[arctic grove]

Yep. Gotta love only getting minor bug fixes and a scoreboard tomorrow. Can't wait for whats in stock in April!

[hexed mango]

voip.

[wide violet]

[tranquil turtle]

those exist?

[hexed mango]

ye

[arctic grove]

Don't really care for VOIP. Most of the time, I play with friends and we use discord 🏟️

[brittle kettle]

April fools update with a joker gamer angel costume

[hexed mango]

well i dont have friends

[tranquil turtle]

why didn't they just roll with dog tags instead of player cards

[brittle kettle]

Money

[arctic grove]

It is what it is. Hopefully this game revives when S1 comes along. Whenever that is

[hexed mango]

idk i like player cards :(

allows me to flex

[cyan trout]

[tranquil turtle]

I get that you can be more artistic with player cards but I think more people would rather have a dog tag with a troll face etched into it

[hexed mango]

june

[brittle kettle]

Remember the cool artwork on the misc. Dog tags They used to have

[hexed mango]

oooh yeah those, i could flex my star wars one :)

[brittle kettle]

Yeah best thing now is a generic player card and headhunter

[hexed mango]

i think it would be cool, but idk. maybe within the player profile aswell, so that we can have both?

[brittle kettle]

Can't even represent your country in game with a dog tag anymore

[arctic grove]

Probably will get delayed

[hexed mango]

like yk at the bottom where it says "Non-Patriated ID Card" and then the weird symbol, that could be replaced

[tranquil turtle]

wow a player card that says you got 10 extractions with one specialist

oh please, that pales in comparison to the guy I saw on 3 who had a dog tag showing him having 6000+ hours on the RU faction alone

[brittle kettle]

That's lore and story added to the game and that's a legacy feature the tech just isn't there

[tranquil turtle]

dog tags are a legacy feature 🗿

[hexed mango]

ik but like im confused, why are the notepads fighting eachother if they're then also aligned with US or RU

[tranquil turtle]

when does the army start issuing player cards then

[runic prism]

Hmm to late . Game really has lost 80% of their players from launch . I remember my first match for the pre orders it was 00:00 everyone was so hype it was so good good . Idk how everything changed so fast. Now the match doesn’t feel like that to be honest. I hope that it finds a way to gain a lot of players

[tranquil turtle]

the notepads 💀 💀 💀

[hexed mango]

🗒️

[hexed mango]

like i thought they were not supposed to be a part of a country

[brittle kettle]

It's my running theory that they're all mercs.

Somebody on the dev team played A LOT of metal gear solid 5 and loved the whole mercs fighting for a future of a nation without borders and against nuclear warfare and just rolled with it in bf2042

[hexed mango]

lmao

[brittle kettle]

Nopats are just diamond dogs in another universe

[arctic grove]

It probably won’t. DICE/EA managed to kill this game to the point of no return.

[hexed mango]

i mean

[desert elbow]

Not necessarily

[hexed mango]

i wouldnt say that personally, due to the fact that if you (as we were saying earlier) look at bf3 and bf4, they both had complaints at launch, bf3 had no server browser, and bf4 had a lot of internal issues. but, look at the games now. it indeed took a lot of love and effort on both the community and developers, but it got there

[fiery shoal]

when people dont know player retention is normally low, not everything can be pubg, gta v, r6, etc

[runic prism]

Hmm . If it becomes free to play it will be really popular but all the fortnite toxic no fan little kid rocket league players are gonna storm the battlefield player base. Ea is making a lot of money from apex lol . Free to play give’s more money for them lol

[brittle kettle]

Battlefield is dead, long live battlefield

[hexed mango]

as long as there's still people playing, then no

[runic prism]

If it becomes free no

[fiery shoal]

comparing peak, 2042 lost 98% of its players, infinite lost 97% (according to steam only)

[brittle kettle]

Halo is primarily on Xbox and windows store though

[arctic grove]

Long live Battlefied 🙏

[fiery shoal]

i did literally say "according to steam only"

[tranquil turtle]

normally low
bc2, 3, 4, 1, 5, and maybe hardline always have servers up, eventually you see the same people

[fallen yarrow]

One is a free to play game, another required people to play 60-120$ thhough

[brittle kettle]

Ea would never give up the chance to suck up another 60 dollaridoos

[fiery shoal]

we do have more platforms/launchers for 2042 as well, so we are getting less of the "full" picture for 2042 too

[brittle kettle]

Bunny costume for boris when

[hexed mango]

id cop

[fossil flax]

Weapons are a legacy feature

[fiery shoal]

apparently originality is a legacy feature too

[hexed mango]

seems so

[tranquil turtle]

why do people care so much about representation in war games

[desert elbow]

Please don't tell me you were upset about women in bf5

[fossil flax]

Nah

[tranquil turtle]

war does not care if you're a man or a woman, if you're tall or short, if you're black or white

[hexed mango]

thats what the USSR said in ww2

honestly good for them tho

[fossil flax]

Godless society will be downfall of world. Eroding of civility. Do drugs and shit yo. It's cool to smoke and be a bum. Working overrated

[brittle kettle]

War doesn't discriminate. All soldiers will die to the rider of war

[hexed mango]

ok that took a turn...

[hexed mango]

war... war never changes

[fossil flax]

That wasn't very 2042 of you

[brittle kettle]

I'm doing what EA couldn't. I'm making my own battlefield game

[fossil flax]

Angel does it again

[brittle kettle]

Free dog tag and soldier camo to my battlefield Ukraine backers

[hexed mango]

im going to have to decide what to wear for mackay tomorrow

do i run T1, cowboy or doomguy

[tranquil turtle]

can't you wear a hat and clothes separately

[hexed mango]

yeah but what combo
thats what im deciding..

[tranquil turtle]

cowboy hat doomguy uniform

[brittle kettle]

Cowboy and doom

[hexed mango]

aye aye

[royal ridge]

Are we going to get a roadmap?

[tranquil turtle]

no

because everything on it will get delayed at least twice

[brittle forge]

Ha ha this guy thinks we might get a roadmap

[plush coyote]

the roadmap will be play an older bf game

[tranquil turtle]

with the current state of the game, the release dates of any new content releases are too variable to be predicted with any level of certainty

[hexed mango]

how, tomorrows was stated a few weeks in advance

[tranquil turtle]

think about any update that added content

after it was delayed

you don't know when the delay will happen

so before then, the date of a content drop is basically a dice roll

[hexed mango]

i mean i think thats granted due to like thousands of people being convoluted in their requests

all i know is based on how the community is, thats gonna reflect to the development ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[runic prism]

Budget?

[hexed mango]

-1$ that i spent on candy

[brittle kettle]

Endless

[hexed mango]

thats illegal

[crimson epoch]

hey people this update coming tomorrow its only for consoles ?!!!?

[hexed mango]

my pp

[royal ridge]

This game being trickle fed updates is annoying. 2 months and we get a "mostly" functional scoreboard. Im beyond blown away

[hexed mango]

what

[runic prism]

Ye 1000 russian ruble 🤣

[runic prism]

No its for everyone i think

[hexed mango]

it is

[runic prism]

I want a server browser god dammit

[crimson epoch]

i mean fix things in game !!?

[runic prism]

I want to play in full servers that i can feel the 128 players without bots

[crimson epoch]

like fps performence etc...

[fossil flax]

If you have t1 you loser

[runic prism]

On the next gen is it stable . On my ps5 its locked

[crimson epoch]

bf2042 on pc its so broken

[hexed mango]

just get a better cpu /s

turn down some settings, lighting and undergrowth to low
some things take up too much cpu usage

[crimson epoch]

cpu usage i put all medium i use 30% cpu

[hexed mango]

messing with dlss might be useful aswell

[crimson epoch]

and 90%gpu

i dls on quality

[hexed mango]

then you have a bad gpu, this game isnt gpu intenstive at all

[crimson epoch]

rtx 2060

[hexed mango]

yeah same. mines at 20% usage rn (while playing)

[crimson epoch]

ryzen 2700 + rtx 2060?? its so bad?

[hexed mango]

idk im not a ryzen guy lol

mine performs well, i only have an i7 10th

[runic prism]

Crossplay in this game is so depressing . I had it on for 1 match. I was almost going to break my ps5 controller

I can not even run i get sniped every sec

[crimson epoch]

Processor (AMD): Ryzen 7 2700X or Equivalent

they recommended this

[hexed mango]

i thought you said you had gpu issues...

[crimson epoch]

so 1050 ti its better than rtx 2060?

[hexed mango]

no...

[crimson epoch]

on medium i play 40 50 fps

and some times going to 60 80 fps

[arctic grove]

That's BF 2042

[hexed mango]

idk man. i just play on the settings i said, and everything else on med-high, dlss balance, vsync, future frame, and i get 60-70 and up to 110

[arctic grove]

I play on all low settings with a 3060Ti and get 80fps

[hexed mango]

L

[fossil flax]

Why people like 2042

[crimson epoch]

and now tomorrow gonna update the game for fix 5 things

[hexed mango]

joe

[arctic grove]

No one does

[tiny imp]

Hype!

[fossil flax]

Joe biden

[arctic grove]

Sure you do

[crimson epoch]

i know who pay 100€ on the game

[radiant prism]

I am someone, and I like 2042. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

[fossil flax]

Joe biden

[hexed mango]

yay, wanna kiss?

[desert elbow]

wah wah

[hexed mango]

lol i was hoping you would see that

[crimson epoch]

ea only wants us money more nothing

[radiant prism]

ayo

[crimson epoch]

and dont care about the game !!!!

[desert elbow]

I'm not condoning any of that but what does that have to do with Battlefield tbh

[hexed mango]

is that a yes?!??!? please 💋

[radiant prism]

It’s almost like theyre, yknow, a business?

[runic prism]

I like it what now🪄

[hexed mango]

honestly i am as confused as you...

[crimson epoch]

sure @radiant prism

[arctic grove]

🍪

[crimson epoch]

who here pay 100€ on game ?

[fossil flax]

Dice business model. Release shit game and overhyped trailer

Insta profit wooohooo.

[hexed mango]

thats like $110 right?

[crimson epoch]

big true

[runic prism]

120 euro on ps5

[crimson epoch]

yes !!

[crimson epoch]

did you pay ?

[hexed mango]

if you count the fact that i used a $50 gift card, then no

[arctic grove]

Did you buy the giftcard?

[hexed mango]

no, was a gift

[runic prism]

Don’t play the game lol . No one is forcing you to play it . Play the v with 0% atmosphere

[haughty flare]

https://youtu.be/IW0Wq-t4kSQ

[runic prism]

For 108 because i had ea play so it was a bit cheaper

[fossil flax]

Atmosphere helps a game but does not bring it from 0 to 100

Gunplay movement core gameplay loop map design more important

[crimson epoch]

holy cow mate i feel bad!!

[fossil flax]

Than holy fk Michael Bay explosions

[runic prism]

It doesn’t give a battlefield feeling lol without a good atmosphere. V gameplay is a bit cod vanguard . Bf1 has a hot atmosphere and bf2042 too with the storms in my option .

[tiny imp]

As Gold/Ultimate edition you get even a new legendary bundle pack in tomorrow!

The bundle contains the following items:

Zero Resistance Skin for Mackay
Grasshopper Weapon Skin for the K30
Rapid Hammer Weapon Skin for the M44
Iron Chariot Vehicle Skin for the M5C Bolte
Rib Tickler Melee Weapon Skin
Resolute Player Card Background
The Steadfast Player Card Icon

[hexed mango]

ok and?

[crimson epoch]

haahahah

but for fix the game ofc not

[tiny imp]

There is your 100 dollars

[hexed mango]

im quite glad that i get doom guy

[white geyser]

I think I need to reduce the 128 players on my custom maps I created in the portal, pretty sure people having trouble entering my custom maps.

[crimson epoch]

HAHAHAHAHAH

100 dollars

[runic prism]

Don’t , i really like the game . It was my 2nd game were i was really really really hype for after mw2019 . The rest of the games now i dont care a sh*t. Elden ring is overhyped you are gonna die 100 for one boss thats gonna be fun

[scenic tartan]

Elden ring gang

[arctic grove]

bruh this update wont silence the crowd

[crimson epoch]

elden ring its a good ?!

[arctic grove]

its beyond good

[crimson epoch]

i see some videos !!

[fervent grotto]

I’m just excited for mw2

[runic prism]

It won’t till season 1 i guess

[crimson epoch]

its same like dark souls right !?

[thorn helm]

https://tenor.com/view/im-a-ghost-scary-cartoon-ghost-gif-17277783

[crimson epoch]

me too

[thorn helm]

Version 10.5.111
We squashed bugs, fixed crashes, and made Origin that much better.

[arctic grove]

In my opinion battlefield has yet to release a good futuristic game. Bf 4 was close but no where near where it could have been.

[thorn helm]

https://tenor.com/view/idk-ghost-cemetery-halloween-gif-12693921

[runic prism]

Dice said that they saw the specialists feedback . They are gonna deal with it . If they change it a bit to normal when season 1 comes out + new maps + new guns + fixed old maps. Players will be more happy

[runic prism]

Ye same company

[crimson epoch]

ooh yeah

[thorn helm]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-gabriel-games-without-frontiers-80s-music-new-wave-synthpop-gif-17574148

[arctic grove]

are they fixing the shitty last gen port

[desert elbow]

2142 Was great, 2042 is also really good imo

I liked the BF4 DLC too

[runic prism]

It’s gonna be one of the best cod’s ever. On a complete new✨ engine . Imagine with next gen graphicss shii.

[fervent grotto]

2042 is dog water

[desert elbow]

In your opinion of course

[fervent grotto]

Absolutely it’s Finna be smacking

[runic prism]

Ye it will break recordss

[fervent grotto]

and the opinion of thousands of other people 💀

[desert elbow]

Like every other game to ever exist?

[thorn helm]

https://tenor.com/view/fifth-element-milla-jovovich-leeloo-bada-boom-boom-gif-3883908

[runic prism]

And then imagine it will be full of bugs and become modern warfare 2077🤣

[fervent grotto]

Yea but every other game didn’t release and immediately go under 2,000 players a day. Especially a triple A game

[arctic grove]

[crimson epoch]

PLEASE no hahah

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 2077

[white geyser]

Alright I reduce back to 64 players in the portal, if other players having trouble entering my custom maps I created.

[fervent grotto]

I sure hope they don’t screw it up. I’ll still play it just cus I love cod but good god I hope it’s good

[desert elbow]

They did though lmao

[runic prism]

Castle is bad 😄

[arctic grove]

Cyberfield 2042

[fervent grotto]

Buff castle. The UMP is dog water and his shotgun is meh. He’s got no range

[arctic grove]

IM HIT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[desert elbow]

The shotgun is made for rotating

Same with his secondary shotgun

[fervent grotto]

That’s what the super shorty is for my guy

Why he got two shotguns for rotating. He’s trash.

[desert elbow]

The super shorty has enough ammo for like 2 walls

Not to mention he got a buff which gave him another barricade

[runic prism]

It won’t become 2077 no worries. It’s a cod game and its not big like a battlefield game to get so much bugs. But they did mw2019 so goodd so i trust

[fervent grotto]

Yea but look at the current state of mw. It’s in shambles

[arctic grove]

I want a 1200 hp barricade 😂

[runic prism]

Cyberfield 2047🤣😵‍💫

[arctic grove]

Blackbearded 1200 hp shield 😂

[desert elbow]

Haha and even then it'd somehow break in one hit to like every gadget

[fervent grotto]

Oh great, one extra barricade. Truly an amazing character. He’s got a bad gadget, bad guns, and no drip. Man’s is dripless.

[desert elbow]

You either drip or drown in this world and I'm afraid castle isn't with us anymore ✊

[arctic grove]

🤣 sledgehammer would take like 5 hit to knock that barricaded door

[fervent grotto]

Castle can crip walk but that’s about it

[runic prism]

I get kicked in my ass by castle in ranked with the UMP😅 blackbeard is dog water wtf is that for ammo capacity 🤣

[runic prism]

Sorrrrryyyyy🌾

Twitch was my fav operator . They nerfed her so hard gun is like a smg from vigil

[wet ginkgo]

LFG conq/BT

[runic prism]

What happend ?

[fervent grotto]

Glitchy and almost unplayable. Things are loading weird and some maps just can’t be played on

[prisma anvil]

never speak that heresy infront of me you heathen

[runic prism]

Thats weird. Nobody said anything about that .

[tribal obsidian]

are the bugs fun or frustrating

[cyan trout]

Matchmaking for breakthrough 64 is rough

[feral locust]

Same for CQ64.

[cyan trout]

Was bounced back to menu 3 times before giving up

[uncut notch]

Skill issue

[elder halo]

Is battlefield 2042 good yet?

[tribal obsidian]

Same question

[feral locust]

Uh

[elder halo]

I haven't touch the game for months has anything change that's good and major?

[feral locust]

There’s been some bug fixes and QOL stuff and there’s the new scoreboard dropping tomorrow.

But that’s all I can say about it.

[elder halo]

A scoreboard?

[feral locust]

Yeah.

[elder halo]

You mean those things where you look to see you're stats in a match?

[feral locust]

… yes.

[elder halo]

And they hadn't added it until now?

[feral locust]

Evidently.

[elder halo]

What the fuck is happening at Dice

[white geyser]

This is what the scoreboard looks like?

[desert elbow]

Yeah that’s it

[lyric lance]

I just checked the patch notes and I have to admit, I expected more bug fixes. Oh well

[elder halo]

Looks ok

[arctic grove]

Yeah, i don't see any bug correction to the accesories bug

[elder halo]

Still can't believe they hadn't added a scoreboard until now. Like 5 months after the game launched there now adding it.

[desert elbow]

It’s tradition tbh

[wide violet]

penguin slayer lol

[desert elbow]

Not a good one though

[elder halo]

The only thing good about this game is Angel. He is carrying this game

[feral locust]

Fuckin’ hate Angel.

“Dont be sad this is j” yeah yeah stfu

[elder halo]

Angel does it again!

[runic prism]

Enjoy these moments when they come 💉

[tribal obsidian]

My impression was just that it wasn't a good one

[deft storm]

Angel has done his last it

[arctic grove]

I'm done

I will change my pfp

[hard plume]

Heeey everyone still complaining? Awesome

[tiny imp]

If they dont do a big hit with season one in summer. Im afraid there is no hope for this game or battlefield as title in future

[elder patrol]

You know it cutie

[hard plume]

Ugh, typical.

[hard plume]

Lol imagine the numbers jump back up to 10k cause of a scoreboard

[wide violet]

did they?

[elder patrol]

I'd be depressed

[hard plume]

I honestly don’t even know who i would be more disappointed in

The devs or the fans

[elder patrol]

Personally it would be alex

[hard plume]

Aww leave alex alone

[desert elbow]

To be fair the graphics were downgraded from the Beta

[elder patrol]

NO! He played with my heart and twisted it, thou shall not be forgiven

[foggy tundra]

sounds like a skill issue

[warped pulsar]

scoreboard time

[elder patrol]

Imma poop in your toilet

[foggy tundra]

uh

ok?

[elder patrol]

Taco Tuesday tomorrow

[lyric lance]

As if the update is anything to praise about lol

[hard plume]

Cool

[foggy tundra]

lmao

[hard plume]

Yo thats a war crime

[elder patrol]

Who's gonna stop me?

[foggy tundra]

a cheesecake knife and a pie fork

[elder patrol]

Gonna take a lot more than a fork. Have you seen my port a diner

[foggy tundra]

if theres a will theres a way

[elder patrol]

Give me flamethrower first then we can discuss

[scenic igloo]

I just want them to fix the unable to ADS glitch after getting out of vehicles

[wide violet]

guys ff14 servers are down for maintenance, what do I play in the mean time

[scenic igloo]

That glitch makes the SFAR trash because it mostly happens with it and makes Hazard Zone pure garbage since it's a gamble when you'll be able to shoot the bad guys or you won't have a defense in exfil

And the stutters on PC. Performance is something that'll take a while, but DAMN! Am I having problems with the game stuttering mid-firefight!?

[arctic grove]

Servers are very stable when empty😬

[fast nymph]

Did the new update go live yet? I havent gotten my cosmetic bundle...

[azure crescent]

isn't it early summer? 💀

[fast nymph]

nvm. Im a dumbass and didnt read correctly. The 3.3 goes live tmr

[cyan trout]

Upper decker?

[elder patrol]

Iceberg if you will

[cyan trout]

👍🏼

[sage ingot]

Now that we got a scoreboard, I wonder what are haters gonna pick on next to call bf2042 the worst piece of trash ever made, worse than CP2077 at launch and ET combined

[hard plume]

The scoreboard is too scorboardy

[sage ingot]

Lol, I saw someone complain about the restrictive class system of BF, and now he complains about everyone being able to pick whatever

[cyan trout]

Probably just the game itself.

[tribal obsidian]

The bolt carrier group on the M5A3 is not entirely accurate to the milspec SIG NGSW submission

[arctic grove]

Weird how I can be in a server all alone and get points/ribbons for capping flags and destroying M-con stations.

[sage ingot]

I think you mean
Angel,Sundance,McKay

[cyan trout]

[arctic grove]

i snipe

[nova torrent]

lack of content and glitches

most likely

[arctic grove]

So, what DICE is telling me is it took 3 months to make and add a scoreboard.....

This sure does bring me confidence that this game can be salvaged

[graceful hatch]

to be fair it probably took them 2 of those 3 months to find someone who knew how to do their job looking at release 2042

[arctic grove]

True

And some youtube tutorials

At this rate the game will be finished by 2042

[graceful hatch]

fanatical . com has a huge gamedev learning material bundle sale on atm, maybe they picked that up lol

[arctic grove]

Certainly possible

Ive been jumping back into 4 and been having a blast

[graceful hatch]

lol

Clownfield > Battlefield — Yesterday at 21:35
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

[arctic grove]

[hexed mango]

you guys should read this

[nova torrent]

based pfp

[arctic grove]

Yea, but unlike 2042 Battlefield 4 had a really solid core, so people stuck with the game, whereas 2042 core is absolutely horrible, hense people abandoning the game

If 2042 core has good, there wouldnt be a mass exodus of players

[arctic grove]

Thanks, i choose it myself

[graceful hatch]

the thing is people arent just upset with bugs etc, there are genuine, hardcoded gameplay issues revolving around poor mechanics and creative/design choices. people are just overall not liking this game and add to that the community is sick to death of being taken for a ride by EA, u get this. where u have a brand new AAA blockbuster entry with like 2k players on steamcharts. compared to say.... elden ring? which is at 800k+

[white geyser]

DICE better fix the 2042 core, that's why BF4 core looks better

[hexed mango]

all im saying is that other battlefield games, especially more recent ones, have had issues, and have grown.

[arctic grove]

Like, these bugs are basically nothing compared to 4's busted netcode on launch, but there is just so many horrific design choices this game made, it just feels like DICE just went, you know, fuck it, we are gonna take out everything fun

[graceful hatch]

they technically cant fix 2042. for me and most other people ive asked, for them to "fix" 2042, it would require them doing so much work and changing so much that it wouldnt even be the same game at the end. its not like bf4 where it was broken and later we got "bf4 but not broken"

[arctic grove]

Yes, but every other BF game had a solid core, 2042 has no core

For sure, this game would've been way better received if specialists were hazard zone only

I do think 2042 is gonna get "fixed" but not as much as other BF games

[white geyser]

They can fix 2042, just support the game more than 3 years so the developers can fix 2042.

[graceful hatch]

and all im saying is that point is not applicable to this game because bf4 and bf1 and even bfv were inherently good games that launched buggy/broken. 2042 has a multitude of flatout wrong decisions at the core of it, bf4 required some cosmetic surgery and some physio to come good. 2042 needs a brain transplant. they are not the same thing

[arctic grove]

Basically at its very basics, the biggest problems are lacklustre map design and specialists

[hexed mango]

idk man, i think all of the changes to battlefield as a game that are included here are its attempt not to be a blatant copy paste of the same game

|| as it has been. ||

all of the original things this game has to offer, imo, are workable. its just that nobody wants to adapt because they are too bothered by its change in content
||this game works, its just the people playing it that dont||

[graceful hatch]

bf4 launch was like buying a car and it gets delivered with no windscreen and no wheels. 2042 is like buying a car and they send u a bicycle. with no wheels. and no seat. or handlebars. or a chain.

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 2042 is like what coke did with NEW COKE, everyone hated it so they reversed it all and stopped its production, except EA/DICE just calls the community toxic and tells us we have brutal expectations and blames another game company for its failings :/

[hexed mango]

new coke and battlefield are different in many other ways.

[arctic grove]

And it arrives 1 month late and is stolen off your door step, and a refund is refused

[white geyser]

The specialist, you know they could have done it better... IDK how they gonna do again, probably just stick with the classes like we use to know

[graceful hatch]

and then u email customer support and they tell u that ur expectations are brutal 😂

[hexed mango]

|| i like specialists more than classes ||

[arctic grove]

How dare you expect your package to arrive

[white geyser]

All those specialist weapons, they could have give it to the classes.

[desert elbow]

Reminds me of what people were saying exactly when BF4/BF1/BF5 released

[hexed mango]

the lord has arrived

[graceful hatch]

the lord of copium 😂

[arctic grove]

We got it delivered, not our fault we delivered it 1month late and it was stolen, when it was a sign upon receiving

[desert elbow]

your profile picture is a 10/10, echo is a lad

[hexed mango]

of course

[desert elbow]

They probably didn't add 2042 classes since there's a lack of AOW weapons

It'd be weird playing Support with only 2 LMGs, although I wouldn't mind it

[hexed mango]

and i mean the ability to customize what loadout you're using not based on a set class, is nice.
being able to use sniper gadgets without a sniper, is nice, and all other ways around

[arctic grove]

If world wide governments have collapsed, you'd think that there would be alot of weaponry

[hexed mango]

that has nothing to do about anything

[arctic grove]

Expecially since most of the west uses standardised ammo

[hexed mango]

if you failed to make an argument you can always like 🚪

[arctic grove]

So they could've cut corners and just import assests from previous games, like ACW-R is in portal, why couldnt it be a gun in 2042, its been in a few previous games

[white geyser]

This is 2042, they can make weapons we never seen in real life and they should add more weapons when they are done working on season 1 update.

[arctic grove]

20years for a gun isn't a long time, Expecially since militarys use the same guns for decades

[hexed mango]

and also, according to the lore, 2030 is when the "war" starts, so maybe guns advance in the next 8 years how am i to say? how are you to say? none of us live there

[arctic grove]

Militarys dont immediately just phase out weapons, it happens over numerous years

[hexed mango]

m4 has only been being used for 20 years

[arctic grove]

Your literally helping my point

[hexed mango]

im telling you that a new gun could come out now and be in complete circulation by 2042

[arctic grove]

That is true, but in event of a war, they'll use what ever is available, its partly why America has its mothball fleet, tank amd aviation graveyards

So parts can be salvaged/ put back into service

[hexed mango]

i mean

if you want to look at ww2, they developed guns for that

same for ww1 and if you use Vietnam, they started using m16s
if anything, war promotes change within weaponry

[arctic grove]

2042, world economies have collapsed, rising sea levels, I'd bet that it would be harder to manufacture replacement parts

[hexed mango]

US still exists :)

[arctic grove]

Amd it would've taken a massive hit

[hexed mango]

and that was a joke

and anyways, my entire point over anything here, is that maybe battlefield 2042 isnt in the prime state it could be in, but history shows that with given actual effort, its not gonna just vanish, or be forgotten. dice hasn't shown that it's something they're just gonna forget about
|| and dont say "oh but they aren't releasing constant updates", cause i mean development isnt something you can undercut like that, its a careful process||
plus, with a roadmap of atleast 3 pretty large updates, and s1 on the horizon, im certain there's actual hope.

[arctic grove]

Im just said they cut V support for this shit

Could've had the eastern front by now

[hexed mango]

yeah after people sent death threats to the developers.

[sage ingot]

Technically they are, but the thing with modern weaponry is that most designs are as good as they can be, so they only create revisions of it, that is why we have the ak72, 102, 103 and 105 look very similar but do different things

[hexed mango]

that's not the developments fault.
that was cause the community turned their back on the game, and went after the devs in the process, making the devs unable to commit change without retaliation, sounds familiar?

[hexed mango]

i dont really care about the logistic behind the weaponry lol

[sage ingot]

The only thing I dont understand is the russian tank, if the modern one is the T72, the ingame on is the T32 or something like that

[hexed mango]

i mean the vector is a k30 in the game, that doesnt add up

[arctic grove]

Thats a small community, and most of the community is civilised and very disappointed, you'll always get those people in the gaming industry, like you get them in Azur Lane

[sage ingot]

I say that because we already had this discussion in the BF3 to BF4 phase

[hexed mango]

yeah true

[scenic tartan]

I think there's a good game here with a lot of changes but having zero bugfixes in this march update is convincing me that they have moved most of dice staff into the next game and we shouldn't expect any drastic changes to 2042 in the future

[sage ingot]

Source: engine

[hexed mango]

uh no. like 75% of the people who were in kahoots with bfv were ones who retaliated, maybe those who sent death threats yeah a small portion, but thats a pretty serious thing.

[hexed mango]

they have bug changes though

[scenic tartan]

There is a gun in this game that you can't even use if you get in a vehicle and get out
And they can't fix that for a month??

[arctic grove]

You get death threats in any industry, the new halo got it as a small proportion wasnt happy

[scenic tartan]

Yeah to hazard zone like 2 bug fixes

[hexed mango]

i mean they fixed usage bugs

chat, crashes, takedowns

[sage ingot]

A very little known fact of game developing is that publishing an update in console you have to pay, so they are probably trying to cut expenses by adding as much as they can on one single update, like CDPR did with CP2077

[arctic grove]

Yea its not a good thing, but eith V it had a very controversial launch and some guy who said dont like it dont buy it

[hexed mango]

and they have a new datacenter, so thats more coverage

[sage ingot]

And it would be top dickhead move to release updates on PC and leave consoles behind

[hexed mango]

and 2042 is a very controversial launch, and some people say dont like it dont buy it aswell.

[scenic tartan]

Completely ridiculous
They said this included fixes they had been working on since Christmas break

[hexed mango]

where

[scenic tartan]

And the patch notes are like 10 items max

[hexed mango]

i mean a scoreboard is pretty big, plus i mean they havent disclosed everything, but it has some cool functionality with the way it displays people

[sage ingot]

That only speaks about how deeply rooted into the code the issues were, just because it looks like an easy fix doesnt means it is

[sage ingot]

And we finally got an answer to how is score calculated

[hexed mango]

thats what im saying

[hexed mango]

yeah i love that aswell

that bit is a tad messy imo, but i like that its there for knowledge sake

[sage ingot]

The thing with software developing is that a single error can mean 50 different things, if not, try to figure out what is wrong with your PC using ONLY the code given to you in a BSOD

[hexed mango]

bsod is its own world though

[arctic grove]

2042 is controversial because it has horrendous design features, terrible maps with almost no cover and the game just isn't fun.

BF5 main controversy was there was women in a ww2 game, the gunplay wasnt great but got good, had some questionable design like pulling up over a ledge and Tank ammo depots, but realistically it did become a good game really quickly

[scenic tartan]

Look i've got my money's worth from the game so if they're abandining it now then fine but there's a lot of missed potential

[hexed mango]

i mean they've said like 100000000 times they arent going to leave it

[arctic grove]

I was on deployment, so i couldn't even play the beta or launch, and because of that i wasnt entitled to a refund

[scenic tartan]

[hexed mango]

when

[sage ingot]

Considering that a season pass is worth 49.99, it would be stupid to abandon the game before Y1 is complete

Is just not a thing you do for either ethical reasons or because you are a greedy asshole

[scenic tartan]

If they gave a shit about this game they would have had staff working on fixes for bugs they've known about since january and balance changes ready by now

[sage ingot]

And they dont?
Source: engine

[scenic tartan]

They clearly dont and it's on to the next. Which isn't the worst decision in the world, because nobody is playing this game and nothing is going to bring players back.

[lyric lance]

Yep, April patch better be humongous lol.

[sage ingot]

Friendly reminder that BF4 launch was even worse, and that game was doing numbers with Naval Strike

[hexed mango]

staff?
there is a difference but whatever

i mean one's life (coming from a person who develops for a job) cannot consist of 24/7 programming. its tough.
so the fact that they, which wikipedia lists as only 15 people, are able to do this much, is good.

even if its not 15 people as wikipedia says, still, each person has a small job.

[scenic tartan]

no it wasn't. That game had had major updates and new maps by now

That was probably true in january but not now

[hexed mango]

What?!? no,,..... you are not. that game didnt get its pass till months after

[sage ingot]

So the part where it would freeze your console due to overheat wasn;t "worse"

Because that happened a lot on release, specially in old gen (ps3/360)

[lyric lance]

I think he meant that the difference was BF4 was getting constant updates, DLCs etc. which helped keep the game alive.

[sage ingot]

First dlc for BF came 6 months after, and after that, each one was made 3 months of diference with each other, which is basically the same schedule we had now, we had in BF1 and V

Unless you count as "worthy" those skins DLCs with tags and camos

[lyric lance]

Uhh no? BF4's first DLC, china rising, released 2 months after launch

[hexed mango]

https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/premium/

[scenic tartan]

ok well china rising was april

[arctic grove]

I was working for navy testing electrical systems with the company i work for

[hexed mango]

no it was dec

[scenic tartan]

but still 2042 is not getting the same patch support and post launch support that game or any game after it got. 2042 is over

[hexed mango]

no, when did i ask

[scenic tartan]

oh i was looking at the reveal dates on wikipedia

[sage ingot]

I think you are still downplaying the effort made in these changes, again, just because it looks easy doesnt means it is, which is a big fuckup in their part, but still

[scenic tartan]

China Rising was released to premium players on December 3, 2013
On February 18, 2014, Second Assault became available

so yeah, at this point BF4 had major updates

[hexed mango]

ok ima leave the convo and do some work

[compact sleet]

If they have a shit about this game then the minor bug fixes would’ve been fixed within the week (like horizon forbidden west) and they wouldn’t have realized the game without a scoreboard

[scenic tartan]

we've barely got a scoreboard and still some of the same bugs since launch

[sage ingot]

That only makes me wonder if the Beta was a lie

[scenic tartan]

and im gonna be honest if the game never had a new scoreboard i wouldn't care

[sage ingot]

Because people complained about that in the beta, but we basically got the same thing at release

[compact sleet]

Maybe we’re still playing beta?! 😱 🤯

[uncut notch]

We are but that’s okay right

[compact sleet]

Not really

[sage ingot]

I wonder when are they finally eliminate sundance and mckay, those two bugs are very annoying

[compact sleet]

Fr

[uncut notch]

Eliminate? Like remove them

[sage ingot]

I pray for the day when I read the patch notes and it says "Sundance and McKay are no longer able to be selected, sorry for taking so long in fixing this"

[lyric lance]

3 month old build but then again in the past 5 months nothing major changed either so they weren't lying ig.

[sage ingot]

Yes, I'll even do my part and forget as a whole they even existed

[uncut notch]

Man you guys probably main boris

[sage ingot]

Also, my hottest take to day
If you get mad at me hating on mckay and sundance, you need to get back to cod

[feral locust]

Do I look like I main Boris?

[sage ingot]

I main Irish, the best operator

[feral locust]

Dozer main for the win.

[lyric lance]

I mean everyone hates the specialist system so not really a hot take lmfao

[sage ingot]

Yes

[feral locust]

You need a new pair of eyes

[sage ingot]

I find it a welcoming change from the class system, while not better, is also not worse

[feral locust]

It’s arguably worse.

[white geyser]

I just realize, the Russia AA tank, how the hell it was able to do more damage against other armored vehicles? in the portal when I was creating custom matchup, I notice the Russia AA tank was able to do damage against me, plus I didn't boost the damage setting I leave it normal.

[uncut notch]

Playing aggressive with mackay is fun

[lyric lance]

Now that's a hot take lmfao but yeah there are advantages to each system imo

[sage ingot]

You know what is fun? PLaying an operator that is of use to the team so you can win

[uncut notch]

Getting the high ground with a pkp and mowing down squads mhhhhhm

[lyric lance]

Which era?

[sage ingot]

Yes, we didnt captured shit because sundance and mckay arent built for that, but because they can kill loads, we only lost 0-1275

[uncut notch]

Medics always walk over my body f em

[sage ingot]

That issue fixes itself with time, every BF at launch has those annoying cod kiddies

[white geyser]

IDK how am I gonna respond to that what you just said

[sage ingot]

I'm telling ya, Paik-Irish squad duo is unbeatable, as well as Dozer-Angel

[uncut notch]

McKay can stop anything wym

[vernal atlas]

4 months of work for a scoreboard? Wtf

[uncut notch]

High ground is key

[lyric lance]

Lmao I should've been clearer. I meant which version of the Russian AA since there is one for BC2 and BF3

[sage ingot]

The only he can do is yeet out of place whenever the whole team dies because he cant mark, create cover, negate areas or tank-rush

[arctic grove]

EA pulled the Toy story, some guy accidentally deleted the finished product and some chick who was on holidays had a backup Alpha copy on their floppydisk

[white geyser]

BF3 Russian AA tank in the portal.

[uncut notch]

I think you have a hatred against mckay cause you don’t know how to play him correctly sorry

[sage ingot]

I mow them down on a daily basis, and laugh at them being so useless, really, they can't do anything worth the while for teamplay

[solemn bridge]

is there like any reason to be excited for this update while there is no performance update

[uncut notch]

Funny

[sage ingot]

Why would I play mckay when i already play with a top tier operator already

[feral locust]

How to play McKay correctly

[sage ingot]

You press ALT+F4 and then select Uninstall on Steam

[feral locust]

Step one: play another specialist

[uncut notch]

Sad

[sage ingot]

Even Van Deele is more useful because he can at least c5drone and mark enemies

And to play aggresive, you can use Paik for that, she can do rushes perfectly while still contributing to the team by marking

[uncut notch]

Who’s gonna wipe your whole team out on top of the crates on manifest? MCKAY

Paik is good yeah

[feral locust]

Yeah only to be countersniped by a level 3 running a scope on his m5

McKay is a weak specialist who’s only good trait is movement and flanking

[sage ingot]

A bunch of kids maybe fall for that, who tf runs blindly into an objective without checking and holding hiding places and corners

[uncut notch]

Every team needs a mckay

[scenic tartan]

GraViTyXIII (@GravityXIII)

So let me get this straight @EA_DICE @Battlefield @PartWelsh. You all actually managed to put a patch together for the first time in nearly TWO months, and the only item of significance is a scoreboard? How can you POSSIBLY avoid including ANY other fixes and balance changes?

[sage ingot]

I run a 1.5-3-6 scope on my loadout with AK and none of them are an issue

[scenic tartan]

this is my take as well

[solemn bridge]

+1

[sage ingot]

Yes, balance changes like deleting mckay and sundance

[uncut notch]

Irish isn’t as needed nobody sits in one spot anyways lol

[scenic tartan]

How can you not include a C5+drone nerf? How can you not offer a performance pass? How can you not balance vehicle numbers in breakthrough? How can you not fix the game-opening jetrams? How can you not FIX the inability to switch to your main gun when exiting a vehicle?
How can you not fix the mouse input locking vertical or horizontal? How can you not fix the desynced players and zombie bodies?........I mean for fucks sake, just give us ONE new gun to play with. You went all that way for a patch...actually patch stuff.

[scenic tartan]

Irish is really useful for avoiding heli spam the shootdown sentinel eats up the rockets
mostly for breakthrough on defense but he also can prevent you from getting run over by bolte with the shield.

[sage ingot]

You can put cover plus trophy on elevators and clear rooftops in no time, or use trophy in the top deck in Discarded and hold both D and C

[sage ingot]

Also the shield has a shit ton of life, so you can even stop a few tank shells with it

[scenic tartan]

Irish is one of my favorite specialists tbh
his voice lines are actually good too

and good skins

[uncut notch]

Eh

[sage ingot]

Irish with preorder skin and tag is my jam

[scenic tartan]

they should let irish revive and take it away from angel

[sage ingot]

Also, you are underrating the importance of Holding a lot

If you dont hold, you are gonna lose games in no time

[scenic tartan]

you could run up and drop a shield then revive behind it

[sage ingot]

I do that sometimes to revive squad in the open

[uncut notch]

I fly around and flank enemy’s with my grapple

[sage ingot]

Thank you for taking 5 tickets from the enemy while I take around 30 in the same ammount of time

[uncut notch]

Lol

[sage ingot]

Corner yourself with shield and trophy and you can hold a contested objective like A1 in kaleidoscope or the A2-3 hall in hourglass

Top that with a Boris negating area with the turrets, and nobody can take that shit from you

Or with an Angel giving out armor and ammo and you become the closest you can to a metal gear

[fierce gull]

Defending as Irish in kaleidoscope is an xp grind

[sage ingot]

It is, xp for days
I think his weakest map is Discarded, but even so, the sentry can be of use to hold D and C at the same time, and shield can give extra cover if you try to take C with people on D

[craggy marten]

This is the so called "update" they have been working on since launch from what I've been hearing.

[sage ingot]

"It is evolving, but backwards"

[fierce gull]

I think this spot is perfect for Irish in Kaleidoscope for breakthrough
Just place those trophy systems in the sides of the entrance in front and ez xp

people would spam grenades through the door like noobs

[scenic tartan]

yeah ive stopped like 30-50 grenades/bolte 30mm shots there before

just tons of projectile destroyed xp

[sage ingot]

Empty their virgin GL ammo in there, instead of using the AK like a true chad

[cyan trout]

Pretty sure this was just a peace offering to people not playing anymore. They are working on the 4 specialists that people paid for as well as some cosmetics to throw at them so they can stop updating the game all together and pretend it never happened.

[storm jolt]

because people thought seeing everyones k/d to make themselves feel better was more important, i suppose

[sage ingot]

I mean, haters have been spamming the scoreboard shit since beta, and I honestly dont see what is so relevant about it

You literally get told your place at the end of the round for as long as you were not an ass at doing that task

[storm jolt]

thing is there was already a scoreboard in the game with your stats
people just wanted a reason to flame the unerperformers

[scenic tartan]

it really was a masterful troll
a bunch of people who hate the game and dont play it complain about scoreboard
dice spends time on scoreboard instead of actual fixes and balance
real players upset that there's no gameplay fixes and dont care about scoreboard
Haters and trolls just laugh and still dont play the game

[fierce gull]

can't wait for 2042 chat to turn into regular old battlefield chat

[sage ingot]

Things are only gonna get better from now on tho, when they see me at the top of the scoreboard with a 2:1 kdr and the sweaty streamer is at the bottom with its 40-4

[fierce gull]

but it's gonna be *** you god damn

[storm jolt]

you get so many more points from pto in this game

[fierce gull]

mother ***

[storm jolt]

did you reply to yourself

[storm jolt]

you can swear here is okay

[sage ingot]

I just did

I just love being passive aggresive in the ingame chat

[arctic grove]

The fact that this game released with no VOIP, garbage maps where running for 20 minutes to a cap point, massive optimization issues, massive bugs…..who cares about the scoreboard. Releasing a cross platform FPS with zero VOIP is amateur and JV.

[sage ingot]

I still dont see what the issue is with VOIP when most people uses discord anyways, besides it would take more from the game that it can add, and you already have automatic callouts from all the operators

[silent snow]

Trying to show my brother 2042 and it won't even load into a game

[arctic grove]

Maybe people want to talk to the random squadmates they get? Can't forget console, whatchu want them to do? Talk over the phone

[arctic grove]

People console don’t use discord bro. It’s a cross platform game.

[cyan trout]

Is discord on console?

[fierce gull]

nah people are shy with voice chat on battlefield that's why everyone uses game chat

[sage ingot]

PS had parties, and Xbox players can join a party with pcplayers due to the xbox party thing being on windows by defgault too

[fierce gull]

people ain't shy on call of duty

[arctic grove]

Although this is true, most PC players hate the xbox app

[sage ingot]

There is really no need for VOIP, would ruin the game even more, the game already has callouts, maybe if they tried listening

[fierce gull]

did bfv had voice chat? never heard anyone using it for years

[cyan trout]

All of which are inconvenient when playing with randos

[sage ingot]

I only used it once in BF4

[arctic grove]

Yes. I actually got a decent amount of random people doing it

[arctic grove]

It’s a CROSS PLATFORM game. PS5, Xbox and PC players all@mashed into the same servers. More console players than PC players. Using the discord excuse is not it

[sage ingot]

Use the windows/xbox bar then

[fierce gull]

I only heard like 3 people using voice chat in bf4

[arctic grove]

Forgot about Playstation

[hardy leaf]

so hows the new scoreboard fellas?

[sage ingot]

And, like I said, we already the callouts, which eliminate the need for a voicechat

[arctic grove]

And, like I said, no one listens to them

Also, the mere fact that the next update is only “updating” a scoreboard with no additional content is also JV.

[arctic grove]

look at this https://twitter.com/OmniExxo/status/1500877273809014795

Let me know if you like it 😂

[arctic grove]

Thank you! This is true

[sage ingot]

That's a THEY problem, is there, they should use it, is like complaining about something not working because you didnt read the instructions

[silent snow]

Can't even see it

Been in queue for like 20 minutes

[arctic grove]

I guess when you play with bots all day you rely on those canned responses

[sage ingot]

Oh boy, I really cannot wait until my amazing sound experience on which the chaos resembles a real firefight with people yelling and passing the voice gets diluted by someone playing xxxtentacion in the background, a kid yelling slurs and a guy with a 5 dollar mic, the true next gen experience

[scenic tartan]

say no to voip

[fierce gull]

Honestly if the bots in 2042 revive better than most players in the battlefield franchise
I will take them

[sage ingot]

Lol, the emptiest lobby I played on was 50v52

[arctic grove]

That's what proxy chat is all about 😂

[arctic grove]

48 bots to 49 bots

[fierce gull]

seen a bot throw in a smoke and revived me
dude played better than 90% of battlefield players

[next onyx]

VoIP is nice to have. I turn it off because I'd rather keep it in my head but for some body else who wants to talk it should be there.

[sage ingot]

If you listen to them, you know where is a downed friendly, if the enemy was killed, if they need ammo or health, the callouts tell you everything you need

[hardy leaf]

less than 2k players on steam

[sage ingot]

Congratulations, you dont know how to do basic math

[arctic grove]

I wouldn’t know, I uninstalled this trash bag of a game. But, enjoy waiting for 45 minutes to then get slammed into a server with 97% bots

[hardy leaf]

so cluttered

[scenic tartan]

new problems

[arctic grove]

Congratulations, you are the only guy here seriously trying to hype this garbage.

[sage ingot]

Irish and Old Guard, finally someone with taste

[sage ingot]

Nah, is just that VOIP would ruin the experience big time

[arctic grove]

no, no it wouldnt

[sage ingot]

Have you used the headphones mode with good headphones? sounds close to being there

[arctic grove]

Lmao….it was literally included in every other BF title. But keep on lying to yourself

[edgy oriole]

Im cool with voip as long as they make it easy to mute everyone at the start of the match

[sage ingot]

With this in mind, I would allow VOIP

[silent snow]

Not surprised. I'm on ps5 and my brother wanted to see it.

[fierce gull]

mute all button

[next onyx]

Basically that gooey.

[hardy leaf]

are you for real?

[sage ingot]

I dont wanna listen to someone yelling slurs, a shitty walmart mic and someone with their fan on all match, really I dont

[cyan trout]

This whole conversation is why the community gets trash because not only does Dice not know what we want we don't know what we want. It's like the Spider-Man meme

[fierce gull]

voip is rarely used in battlefield so i don't give a shit

[hardy leaf]

im on ps5 too, i played 2 hours of trial where i spent 90 mins searching for a game

[cyan trout]

Voip always has a mute feature

[arctic grove]

This is not COD….you sound fragile

[hardy leaf]

decided it then to not buy this garbage

[arctic grove]

Salió la actualización

[next onyx]

With VoIP you always have the option to mute or outright not even use VoIP. Which mutes everyone automatically.

[arctic grove]

Para ps5 y 4😆

[hardy leaf]

not everyone in this world yell slurs and buy stuff from walmart

[next onyx]

Hey @arctic grove English please.

[fierce gull]

battlefield game chat is exactly like a call of duty lobby

[sage ingot]

I was raised in 1v1 Dust and Terminal, but I leave that for cod, not in my precious BF games

[hardy leaf]

this new update will bring new bugs

[fierce gull]

play a bf4 hardcore server
can't prove me wrong

[next onyx]

That's online culture in general. It's gonna be toxic no matter what.

[edgy oriole]

The gaming community as a whole is kinda trash. no matter the game there is ~15 year olds that love the n word.

[next onyx]

The difference with cod is that you hear 12 to 18 different people at once.

[edgy oriole]

and judging by reddit, twitter and this discord sometimes. that is what will be in voip

[fierce gull]

Breaking news: Dice brings back the gamebreaking scoreboard bug from bf4 into 2042

[hardy leaf]

well people tend to like prohibited things, its human instinct

[arctic grove]

Let me just say this…..the FACT that BF 2042 is now $29.99 tells how much of a dog turd this game is

[next onyx]

Ehhh scoreboard bug?

[cyan trout]

Still too expensive

[fierce gull]

freezes your game and crashes for others

[arctic grove]

Agree!

[silent snow]

I sadly bought it because most of my platoon was getting it. We're all back on bf4, bf5. Hope you didn't buy it

[hardy leaf]

its on 25% off on psn store, game not worth playing even for free

[next onyx]

I guess that was early-ish bf4?

[sage ingot]

Yeah, the yelling sounds genuine, the confusion when a character doesnt understands what you are saying because they speak different languages, how they yell for help or trying to call out the friendlies, the buzzing cut of bullets going back and forth, when they hit on cover near you, the hammering when you use cover fire, calling out the reloads, marking targets with the best they can, I'd take that everyday over the fucking mess that most VOIP ingame chats tend to be

[arctic grove]

Agree

[sage ingot]

release bf4, a mess we would rather not talk about

[silent snow]

It makes me chuckle that we have a "mute button" but we have no in-game chat. Can't mute something not there lol

[next onyx]

Super curious what limited has to say.

[hardy leaf]

you can just turn Voice chat off

[arctic grove]

If you have a problem with VOIP, just turn it off. Some people don't, some do. If you dislike it, just turn it off

[fierce gull]

from now on
when voip releases the RU team is required to speak Russian and the US team has to speak Egnlish

[arctic grove]

The devs that put this cat turd together are a joke.

[next onyx]

If someone in vc annoys you so much you can simply turn it off. It's really simple.

[sage ingot]

Some people have a problem with not having VOIP, if they want it so much, use discord or PS party or XBOX bar, it goes both ways honestly

[fierce gull]

or
shit on them back

[arctic grove]

Why not have something you can turn off in-game?

[next onyx]

You can't even use discord on console.

Not effectively anyways.

[sage ingot]

Now that is some roleplay I can get behind, I'm down

[arctic grove]

Can't forget about the fact that many PC players hate the xbox app, since it's designed so poorly. Also you can party with PS players on PC?

[arctic grove]

Frosty, doesn’t understand this fact. He’s so busy trying to hype this game on here

[sage ingot]

How do you hype something that already released tho

[edgy oriole]

xbox pc app is garbo for sure. chat wise. i still get confused how to msg people sometimes bc im a smooth brain.

[next onyx]

There was this one kid in bf5 that just shit talked me on being a bad medic when they were running out in the open so I kinda just pointed out how they were dying.

[sage ingot]

I mentioned the alternatives for each console

[next onyx]

Still clunky.

[arctic grove]

1. PC players hate the xbox app, VOIP would make it much easier.
2. PC players can party with PS players?

[arctic grove]

You are the single biggest cheerleader for this crap game on here bro. Just stop and face the fact that this game is done

[sage ingot]

If you have the app, yes

[arctic grove]

Ahh, but what if you have two xbox and ps playing together?

[edgy oriole]

ohh they updated the ps app? about time.

[next onyx]

Yeah xbox side is good but the ps side isn't set.

[cyan trout]

[sage ingot]

That is the first time someone actually made a good point regarding VOIP

[edgy oriole]

I just used my phone before. but i use wired mics

[arctic grove]

It’s clear that you’ve never played a cross platform game

[sage ingot]

I just dont talk to randos, is beyond useless

[arctic grove]

The best idea is too add VOIP, but allow for it to be turned off.

[edgy oriole]

i especially did that for cod 19 bc their party chat was literal ass.

[arctic grove]

If this game was purely PC, I completely understand excluding VOIP due to discord. But this game is and has been designed as a cross platform game which obviously requires VOIP

[sage ingot]

I made friends in BF2042 without saying a single word, VOIP is not the issue why you keep going down or your team loses

[sage ingot]

COD19, fuckers release that so much we have to count them like fifa

[arctic grove]

Some squads like to coordinate attacks, but you can't do that without VOIP

[arctic grove]

Stop, he doesn’t understand….I got you tho

[sage ingot]

You can use the squad chat

[cyan trout]

Was not my experience therefore it wasn't anyone's experience. Love that logic

[arctic grove]

Have you ever tried typing on console with a controller?

[cyan trout]

Lol afk for 5 minutes

[sage ingot]

DO they even sell those horrible keyboards anymore?

[arctic grove]

Most people prefer using controller on a console

[arctic grove]

No you can’t bro….VOIP is not working. What don’t you understand about VOIP NOT working?

Plus I don't think this game is keyboard compatible with console

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/t8w7h3/my_game_had_a_stroke_because_some_random_piece_of/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

[sage ingot]

Yeah, I know, was just wondering, but see, those are the points you need to make when asking for voip, not all the other shit they been saying

[cyan trout]

I think he is thinking of those shitty ones that plug into the controllers

[edgy oriole]

ew reddit trash

[arctic grove]

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/t8kxwu/dont_ever_jump_out_of_a_heli_or_youll_become_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

[sage ingot]

Ew reddit, this guy probably mains McKay

[arctic grove]

Everything has been said, that's why they are adding it

Yeah, Reddit facts

They didn't add these things in the first place because of toxicity.

[raven yew]

This sucks 😭 I'm not even gonna be in the U.S. for the new update

[arctic grove]

You won't miss anything, don't worry

[arctic grove]

Only thing you’ll be missing is a scoreboard

Just a shitty, clunky scoreboard that they are adding.

[arctic grove]

https://twitter.com/OmniExxo/status/1500877273809014795 if you want to see it

[edgy oriole]

apparently they are fixing console aim assist issue too with tomorrows update.

[fierce gull]

be patient

[arctic grove]

For?

[fierce gull]

be patient

[arctic grove]

Oh wow, so, 5 months after release they fix aiming….ok

[silent snow]

it's crazy man

[sage ingot]

I was scared when I saw the 2042 season, my engi boy looked so old, but then I realized they changed tre designs to be in tone with the operators they use

Is the General 100 gonna be Irish?

[fierce gull]

yes

Boris is actually old engineer

he was a russian spy the whole time

[sage ingot]

Checks out, specially because the guy is not fond of Thanksgiving and other celebrations that are typically american (Because he has a large family and shopping for him is a martydom rather than an experience)

[arctic grove]

Every specialist is fluent in Russian and English

[sage ingot]

Noob looking fresh as mckay tho, he looks like a milf hunter

[arctic grove]

😭

[fierce gull]

Mackay is perfect for noob

[sage ingot]

Also, instead of a scoreboard you know what we need? 5 PEOPLE SQUADS

[fierce gull]

The jokes the looks the grapple'

[sage ingot]

The resident cringelord

[fierce gull]

Mackay is type of person who would scream promoted while mass murdering

[copper fulcrum]

burn.

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah, one of his lines is literally
"GOT ONE! WHOOO"

[arctic grove]

This means you would only have one squad of humans while the other squads would be bots

[copper fulcrum]

Anyways, C5.

[sage ingot]

The USA tried to invade a russian oil facility out of desperation so they can keep producing enough oil and not have to ration or seize the production which in turn could lead to an internal crisis that could end in a civil war
McKay: GOT ONE WOOOOO

[copper fulcrum]

Anghel and Mackay are going to have the most skins as of tomorrow, I never properly counted but the count is up there.

Or I guess the more proper term is "Cosmetic Pieces"

[fierce gull]

Mackay's new skin is gonna be sexy af

[copper fulcrum]

I'm hoping for another Sundance skin tbh

[fierce gull]

badass robocop about to kick ass in the battlefield

[sage ingot]

I think they should give mckay lines to Dozer, Espinosa seems like the kind of guy that might enjoy war a bit too much and with his deep muffled voice, it would give the perfect psycho vibe, and he is a tank anyways

[copper fulcrum]

Dozer's got some good lines already

[sage ingot]

The one where he just laughs is gold

[arctic grove]

Wow!! What is going on in here?

[copper fulcrum]

"I got this"

• Santiago Espinoza, two seconds before being hid in the back by a tank shell

[errant scarab]

hi

[copper fulcrum]

Dozer is a fun character to play as, ngl.

[sage ingot]

Also, props to DICE for making Dozer speak fluent english with an accent and not that horrible spanglish shit they love to pull out in other games, specially in Apex

[copper fulcrum]

I mean, he does say "Nice work, Pendejo" and "Come to my marker, perrito!"

There is some Spanglish but it works out okay for him.

[sage ingot]

Yes, one words that cannot be translated properly because the meaning is more of culture and not literal meaning, but not like in other games where every 3 words they put a spanish words for reasons

[arctic grove]

You two should make a lobby for fan boys and love over there. It will only be you two but at least you’re not spamming this thread. Just an idea

[copper fulcrum]

Oh yeah, it's actually not put in an annoying way like Far Cry 6's

[sage ingot]

What thread, have you been taking your meds?

[uncut notch]

Mckay haters in chat

[copper fulcrum]

Mackay is fun to play as and his lines, I guess help the player feel more energized which fits his common playstyle of fast moving and grappling.

[arctic grove]

After seeing you two fam boys….I do need meds

[copper fulcrum]

We're just talking about the game, fam.

[sage ingot]

Ever since I climbed the everest, it has been downhill from there, got it?

[copper fulcrum]

Ya know, in the channel known as #battlefield-2042

[arctic grove]

I get it

[uncut notch]

This guy frosty has a hate relationship with him smh

[sage ingot]

Is mostly hate, 90% hate

[copper fulcrum]

It's such a dad joke that it doesn't phase me lol

[sage ingot]

Even tho it is annoying af, I love when angel says "That was something, right?" and he looks around with that half smile, as if expecting to find someone that laughed

Also, I wanna know why Boris never says the whole thing, his endgame line is just "All work, no play", he should say the thing "Makes Boris a dull boy"

[copper fulcrum]

"Hard work pays off sometimes" - The one time Rao gets to Outstanding Performance

Rao players are appreciated but are rare to come by

[sage ingot]

Fitting, I have only seen him in endgame twice, once like 4 days ago, and once last night

[arctic grove]

I just find it interesting you guys are so enamored with these characters and what they say. It’s kinda cringy. This is why I’m saying to take it to a more private lobby….so you can really let loose on how much love you have for fantasy characters.

[copper fulcrum]

Not happening, anyways.

I'm almost done getting my last AR to Tier 1 now, the M5A3.

[sage ingot]

Well I mean, of all the characters, he is by far the one with... less use unless you are in a lobby with a shit load of vehicle spammers

[edgy oriole]

im t1'ing rao rn then gonna move onto casper. havent played much tho bc they postponed weekly reset

[sage ingot]

When I started the game, I was getting clapped so hard time after time, then I switched to the ak and it worked like a charm, not touching that horrible thing again, ever

I'm almost at t1 with the AK

[copper fulcrum]

My platoon has two Casper mains and they stick by us very closely, but they uses the drones to survey the area ahead of us that are pushing before regrouping into the objectives. It's very fucking useful playing with them that way.

[sage ingot]

Wow mate, people that uses characters for a reason and plays them as they are meant to? You sure that was real?

[copper fulcrum]

I mean, we're a part of a platoon lmao

[edgy oriole]

by the time i get to casper ill have all attachments so thats what ill be doing. camping drones to get that mastery up lmao

[foggy tundra]

casper

sucks

all hail falck

[sage ingot]

Get that sweet marked xp

[edgy oriole]

ill go back to maining falck when i t1 all heros.

[sage ingot]

I would, but given her nationality, the appropiate salute would get us in trouble

[foggy tundra]

frosty

no

[sage ingot]

I wont

[foggy tundra]

bad

not very pog

or based

[sage ingot]

:c i want to be based and redpilled

[foggy tundra]

which u are not

[sage ingot]

Maybe they were right, I am not based and redpilled, just mentally ill

[edgy oriole]

what does that even mean

[foggy tundra]

[sage ingot]

Also, legit question, what are falck's intro quips?

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah totally, but it's nice to have a well-rounded squad. A recon that gives information, a medic, a support and a demolitions expert.

[edgy oriole]

I couldnt even tell you. idk any of the lines.

[sage ingot]

Isn't that the BFFriends plotline?

[foggy tundra]

falcks lines are normal

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah but it's true.

Symbiosis!

[foggy tundra]

im a dank medic

[sage ingot]

What, you give lean instead of aspirin?

[foggy tundra]

i give motrin and water

plus fresh socks

[copper fulcrum]

I give Mucinex

[foggy tundra]

sundance main has no validity

[mighty furnace]

New update tomorrow probably be the end of it for me, gonna really mess it up I bet.

[foggy tundra]

[sage ingot]

I agree

[foggy tundra]

99% sundance c5 plus k30

or sfar

[copper fulcrum]

That's me.

[sage ingot]

How to be a good sundance main
Step one: Dont

[foggy tundra]

^

[copper fulcrum]

I managed to get 20 vehicles destroyed in a match just being Sundance with C5

[foggy tundra]

vcar falck best falck

[sage ingot]

Ak Irish best irish

[copper fulcrum]

oh and I did destroy a Jet using the SFAR's grenade launcher

[sage ingot]

That must have been a shitty pilot

[edgy oriole]

Have they fixed her grenades yet? im gonna t1 her last and im hoping theyll fix it by then. (idk what was wrong with it only going off on info that peopled complained about in here before.)

[copper fulcrum]

They are still broken

[sage ingot]

That makes me wonder, what would it feel like to be the guy that got rendezooked by stun gravy back in bf3?

[mighty furnace]

I think maybe cause she's not good with grenades

[copper fulcrum]

The EMP Field is underrated, it's how I get most of my vehicles destroyed

[sage ingot]

When I get emp'd I just accelerate faster so I can run them over

[copper fulcrum]

Don't this count as self-promotion?

[edgy oriole]

looks like it, but im not clicking on a twitter link to check

[copper fulcrum]

The twitter link just says that he's going to be streaming lol

[sage ingot]

Wait, I just had a revelation, what if DICE/EA is trying to warn us against the evil powers that only harness destruction once we have a year 42

BF 1942, BF 2142, BF 2042

[copper fulcrum]

42 is the meaning of life

[edgy oriole]

there is probably lore about it somewhere, but idk bc i dont pay attention the bf story.

[copper fulcrum]

There's probably some deeper meaning why they chose 42 and stuck with it... like war never changes.

[sage ingot]

Not all games have a continuist lore, I think the "longest" lore is BC2-3-4-2042

[copper fulcrum]

Is BC2 linked with those?

also I don't think BF3 and BF4 are linked.

[sage ingot]

Probably not, but I saw some businesses logos and names reused in bf3

[copper fulcrum]

I'm hoping we get a bigger story thing 2042 like the Exodus thing.

[sage ingot]

They are, it happens after, dima was from bf3, as well as the pilot that goes down at the start of the game

[copper fulcrum]

I don't pay attention to the plots of these games

All I really know is that the pilot in BF1 has the same last name as another battlefield character from a different game lol

[edgy oriole]

same. im just here to kill and destroy

[sage ingot]

And in the comic I think it is mentioned briefly that Irish served with Blackburn

[edgy oriole]

#lfg-playstation

[sage ingot]

I imagine the russian guy with the helmet meme
I have no idea what I am doing here, all I know is I must kill

[sage ingot]

Seems like, although it also looks like they went the dark souls way with it, as most of the story and background is told in the cards

Even before they confirmed it, the dlc operators was in a card about the exodus that said "Task force: 15 (10 are combat ready)"

[uncut notch]

Mckay was born ready

[sage ingot]

Mate, stop with the self promo and the ref links, please

[shadow moon]

asking for gamers to play with

[edgy oriole]

#lfg-playstation

[cyan trout]

Lol

[sage ingot]

McKay probably has his map modified to show him all the milfs in 3 miles

[uncut notch]

Lol

[rugged citrus]

PLAYER COUNT: 1,863 41 MINS AGO

[sage ingot]

That's why you never let him and falck ride the elevator alone, she's gonna kill him

[rugged citrus]

note im not actually a bot

[uncut notch]

Scoreboard will bring back 10k

[rugged citrus]

nah, it will bring back 100k!
scoreboard is so new we just getting 1 update per month!

[uncut notch]

Yes

We need more mckay mains

[sage ingot]

According to the internet, the scoreboard will not only do that, but give it a 98% Overwhelmingly positive on steam and also get you full lobbies every single match

[rugged citrus]

yeah and also remove the need of season 1 and the game can be ditched after the scoreboard comes out

IM WAITING IN A DARN "waiting for players to join" FROM THE LAST 20 MINS WTH IS WRONG

1800 PLAYERS IS SUFFICIENT TO FILL OVER 15 LOBBIES

[sage ingot]

Crossplay?

[rugged citrus]

its on my dude im on pc

[sage ingot]

Damn, what region

[rugged citrus]

dont get racist but asia

[sage ingot]

Never spent more than a minute in NA

[foggy tundra]

NA will have 90% of those 1800 players

[sage ingot]

Yeah, another dude like 3 days ago said the same thing, nobody is playing the game there

[edgy oriole]

i always hear problems with asia/oceana (if thats the right word) servers for all games lol

[rugged citrus]

prob because most games are targeted at NA, they treat NA as the only continent

[foggy tundra]

[mighty furnace]

because the money

[foggy tundra]

NA throws money at everything

[sage ingot]

Its all about the money, money, money

[rugged citrus]

like bruh you can make more profit by targeting eu, oceania and asia than just NA alone

[edgy oriole]

isnt asia more into mobile games anyways.
but all jokes aside that does suck. you will prolly have better luck when mobile battlefield ccomes

[foggy tundra]

nah asias a difficult market

[arctic grove]

Cause OCE servers are dog shit

[foggy tundra]

oceania is tiny compared to NA

[rugged citrus]

asian tier 1 cities say otherwise

[sage ingot]

The problem with targeting Asia and EU is also languages, providing support for a game is easier when you only have to do it in english as it is the case with NA, so is only one thing

[edgy oriole]

idk what this means

[rugged citrus]

most tier 1 cities in asia prefer PC games

[foggy tundra]

you also have to work with other stuff like in china, undead games are banned

[edgy oriole]

wtf is a tier 1 city? is that asian slang for major city?

[rugged citrus]

and by asia im not refering to china, china is mostly a seperate ecosystem with its own stuff, like a seperate internet/universe

[sage ingot]

Imagine being korean and your first match being Kaleidoscope, I'd die, or look for where I work/live

[foggy tundra]

just used an example

[rugged citrus]

do you even know what tier 1 city means?

[edgy oriole]

#battlefield-2042 message

[foggy tundra]

tier 1 city lmao

major city

or the rich cities

[edgy oriole]

ok thats what my guess above was

[foggy tundra]

[edgy oriole]

im not used to asian slang i apologize

[foggy tundra]

tokyo osaka, beijing, hong kong, taipei

are all "tier 1"

to name a few

[sage ingot]

Not really, is just that the way chinese censors classify media is Kids and then Adults, they dont have the plethora of stamps like we do such as E, T, KTA, AO and so on, so everything that is not for "kids' is automatically classified as Adult, that puts Fast and Furious and porn in the same category according to chinese laws, some games would lose a giant part of their target audience with an adult classification, that is why undeads/zombies are usually changed to skeletons in china, and other parts of games get huge alterations to get a Kids rating

[next onyx]

Can't even tell how many people are playing in this game. Wish I knew how popular OCE was.

[foggy tundra]

you do realize that Blizzard had to remove skeletons from wows chinese release cause 1. chinas huge in gaming 2. because seeing undead is bad luck

[sage ingot]

And since china is one of the biggest markets of asia because huge population numbers, some companies dont bother with the whole region is they cant get their game to china

[sage ingot]

Ah yes, chinese wow farms, how could I ever forget

[foggy tundra]

never got into wow but i remember that headline

[edgy oriole]

Ill play wow when its available for free on the game pass

[foggy tundra]

which is weird cause ik chinese intl students here love dead space

[blissful prawn]

i tried it

[foggy tundra]

however i do know some that despise the fuck out of undead games

[blissful prawn]

didnt like it

[foggy tundra]

[sage ingot]

Did you knew that they emotionally blackmailed you if you tried to leave the game?

[foggy tundra]

wait what

[edgy oriole]

nope. idk how that is even possible. lol

[copper fulcrum]

You mean like how The Ultimate Doom and Doom 2 did?

[sage ingot]

It was a character named Grog the Orc I think, but you get a giant speech by Grog saying how sad he would be if you left the game

[foggy tundra]

ew

cringe

id laugh while leaving

[sage ingot]

And if even with that you decided to continue, the next screens would be filled with language targeted towards your feelings such as "We are sorry we couldnt provide an experience fun enough for you" and 'We hope this doesnt puts a strain in our relationship and that you still find the game fun regardless"

They had to remove all of that because several countries deemed that emotionally manipulating your players into spending more money in the game was not good

[copper fulcrum]

Doom 1 and 2 had this too with lines like "You're trying to say you like DOS better than me, right?", "Go ahead and leave. See if I care." and "Just leave. When you come back, I'll be waiting with a bat."

[sage ingot]

Rise of the triads did it even better, forcing you to choose to stay or do horrible things like run over a family, disconnect a patient with cancer and so on

[edgy oriole]

sounds like something postal would do.

[sage ingot]

Is a fun thing when you already own the game and they just make fun of you, but when you have to pay a monthly fee such as you do in wow, then it becomes borderline illegal
