battlefield-2042

[hexed mango]

what would they add to RU side then

[arctic grove]

Good question, I could look into Russian vehicles to figure something out

Although the KA-52 is their most advanced if I remember correctly

[hexed mango]

apparently there's map meta leaks

[hardy leaf]

EA is finished

[arctic grove]

Russian tech so advanced

[hexed mango]

(formerly "Ridge") Exposure

US: "seismic activity in British Colombia has damaged a Canadian-US research facility base. A landslide has exposed the interior and damaged the surrounding area"
"The Russians wrongly allege that this has revealed a military weapon and are deploying forces onto Canadian soil to secure it"

RU: "A landslide in the Canadian Rockies granted us a view inside the Black Ridge facility. And what we see is a direct threat ~ a weapon that cannot be allowed to continue to operate"
"Today's mission is urgent. You will travel to the base along with out allies, then secure all sectors on-site"

[copper fulcrum]

Sounds like Locker but will most likely have areas for vehicles

[arctic grove]

That's what I'm thinking too

[scenic tartan]

a map with a significant underground base area would be welcome

[grizzled whale]

cant wait to somehow force a bolte in there and destroy infantry

[wide shore]

Can’t wait to be infantry and a Bolte finds me in a small impenetrable room and runs me over from behind.

[grizzled whale]

YES

cant wait to walk around EVERY SINGLE CORNER to find 17 turrets with 38 people proned behind it with a pkp

[arctic grove]

yo question, i've got 10 hours on 2042 thanks to ea play
i played the intro and did my settings, 9 hours left after having a few black screens, video setting resets, and other technical bugs
now im finally queued up for pvp conquest
it's been around 50 minutes since i've been staring at a "waiting for players to join" screen
do i queue up again, do i stay and wait more, what do i do?
is there maybe a server browser i could use to play?

originally sent this in general but this chat seems to be more active, if it's the wrong chat ill delete and post elsewhere ^^

[wide shore]

Bolte drivers are the epitome of “teleports behind you: nothing personal kid”

[grizzled whale]

what region are you

[arctic grove]

EU

[grizzled whale]

do you have crossplay on?

[arctic grove]

yessir

[grizzled whale]

hmm

you trying to play AOW conquest 128?

[arctic grove]

i just queued up using the big assault button in the main menu

or at least that's what i thought it was

frontline assault? idk the button all the way to the left that has 4 subcategories being conquest variants

[grizzled whale]

strange

[arctic grove]

all out warfare**

[grizzled whale]

shouldnt take that long to find a lobby at this time in the eu

[arctic grove]

oh i did find a lobby

ive been in the waiting for players screen

[grizzled whale]

try again

[arctic grove]

alright

[grizzled whale]

i just queued up and got into a 60v60 instantly

[arctic grove]

yup

all i get is different squads and waiting for players to join

[grizzled whale]

thats really weird

we are in the same region, maybe just keep trying

[copper fulcrum]

Double check if cross-play is on.

[arctic grove]

i do every time before i queue up

should i do breakthrough 64? are there any mode that are more popular or sth?

[grizzled whale]

breaktrough is more dead than conquest

you could try portal mode, but theres barely any progression there

[hexed mango]

progression is on for portal servers without bots i believe and official servers

[grizzled whale]

full progression on featured modes, and full progression but no ribbons on servers without bots iirc

[hexed mango]

maybe idk i havent personally played alot of portal, thought i overheard something about it

[arctic grove]

small update for yall, still queueing up. at least now i see squadmates whereas before it was completely dead

[hexed mango]

might just have to wait for a bit sadly

if youre in breakthrough, try conquest, youll probably get more players

[arctic grove]

i've got a 10 hour ea play trial, been queueing for conquest for 2 hours, not ONE game

i can't even press tab to check how many players need to join or anything

[hexed mango]

thats odd, ive been playing games all day, granted in not in EU, but still

[arctic grove]

i don't know if that's a glitch or part of the game which is the only thing keeping me entertained

is there a server browser, squad creation/swap system?

[hexed mango]

its probably just that there aren't a lot of players in that specific gamemode at the time, however i dunno
if you go to portal you can view servers

[grizzled whale]

only a server browser for portal modes, you can only switch squads but you cant pick which to join

[hexed mango]

and you cant switch squads before the match starts

[grizzled whale]

nope

[arctic grove]

oh god

i mean i love battlefield as much as the next guy but...

[grizzled whale]

the only time you actually play as a squad is when you play with friends

[arctic grove]

lets just hope they fix these issues soon

[grizzled whale]

Its 99% solo play

[hexed mango]

lol thats too true

[hexed mango]

its not an issue with the game, its just that there's not enough people

[arctic grove]

i heard there isn't voip either, please tell me its not true

[grizzled whale]

theres not

[hexed mango]

voip is in the next update

(early april)

[grizzled whale]

@arctic grove at least you were smart enough to try the game on EA play first, many people buy it and then complain when they cant refund anymore

[arctic grove]

true

but i mean its still frustrating, even if i didn't buy it so i feel for the people that bought the game

[grizzled whale]

eh, it was their own choice, when there was alternatives

[hexed mango]

i mean i just got into a game in 2 seconds lol i think eu is suffering or smth idk

[grizzled whale]

im nearing 400 hours so i dont regret buying it

[hexed mango]

same, im at like 350 rn

[grizzled whale]

nah, its not EU, i tried and i got into a 60v60 instantly

[hexed mango]

odd

[arctic grove]

is there different servers for EU?

like eu west and eu east or sth

[grizzled whale]

nop

[arctic grove]

can i check what servers im in?

[grizzled whale]

i dont think so

[hexed mango]

maybe check if you're using a vpn or smth idk

[arctic grove]

and i know it's not a problem on my end because i queued up for bf1 while waiting for 2042 and got in an operation in 2 seconds

[hexed mango]

you could always play pve instead

[arctic grove]

true

do i get XP in pve?

[hexed mango]

only a little, basically no

[grizzled whale]

not much

[hexed mango]

you can unlock stuff still though, attachments

[grizzled whale]

if you go back to the main menu, go to portal and see the featured modes

[hexed mango]

angel what gun(s) do you use

[grizzled whale]

SWS, GVT, AC-42, NTW and 12M

oh and MP9

[hexed mango]

nice, ive been trying for gvt mastery recently, its a tiring task

[arctic grove]

aight ill queue up for a pve, queue up for pvp after and if it still doesn't work turn on my vpn in germany or sth

[grizzled whale]

just wait untill you get to the Vcar

[hexed mango]

i have it t3 alr

i played with it for a bit lol, for fun

im not trying to do a set order of things, i just found the gvt fun and it looks cool so i want to put it on my profile, along with dxr and ntw

[grizzled whale]

you cant play with the Vcar for fun, only rage

what attachments are you running on the GVT

[hexed mango]

2x, high power, laser and muzzle break i think, i cant quite remember

yeah that seems right

[grizzled whale]

try the 6x, laser, high power and 6ku supressor

[hexed mango]

aye, i have 4x and 6x on my other scopes, ill add the suppressor tho

god damn i hate my keyboard, space bar always on the fritz

[grizzled whale]

its basically just a mini sniper, very fun

[hexed mango]

what are you listening to in the background

[grizzled whale]

Dragon ball "what if" stories

i listen to random shit while gaming

[hexed mango]

lol

[uncut notch]

Are some weapons being reworked in this upcoming update

[hexed mango]

some balances are being made yeah

read the 3.3 patch notes, it talks about some stuff breifly

[grizzled whale]

pretty sure they didnt name them, but its most likely the pkp, ac42 and 12m that are being nerfed

[hexed mango]

they named bolte, not a gun, but yeah

[uncut notch]

Pkp nooo

[hexed mango]

finally no more mass pkp users

[uncut notch]

They better make the vcar better

[grizzled whale]

no more prone boris with a PKP behind his turret

[hexed mango]

exactly

[grizzled whale]

the Vcar is an absolute meme, my finger died when getting that to T1

[hexed mango]

how are you typing

[grizzled whale]

i still managed to get some clips with it tho

[hexed mango]

damn thats hot

i seriously dont understand how you manage to be so proficient with so many weapons

like i struggle to get a few t1s, and you're over here with basically 100%

[grizzled whale]

First i get all attachments against bots

Gives you a feel for the weapon, then just keep improving against players

I usually took 2 days to get each weapon t1, aside from the m44 and Vcar

[pearl zenith]

Not gonna lie some of these weapons I wish I grinded them during the time HC was featured mode

[arctic grove]

wide angel

[lavish haven]

Fortnite just turned into Battlefield, things not looking good boys

[grizzled whale]

Fortnite is garbage no matter what they turn into

[arctic grove]

Don't be sad

[lavish haven]

That's a Low T, High Salt mentality

[grizzled whale]

Fortnite is trash, angel has spoken

[lavish haven]

NGL Fortnite coming in as the nail in the coffin to 2042 was a twist I did not see coming

[grizzled whale]

Fortnite is trash, Angel has spoken

[lavish haven]

In a way Fortnite just Rendezooked Battlefield. Jumped out of the BR lane for a All Out War season to kill 2042 just to go back to BR next season

Pretty funny

[grizzled whale]

DO NOT QUESTION THE WORD OF ANGEL

[lavish haven]

BRB blasting the BF3 Main Theme in Fortnite's new No Build mode while driving a tank

[arctic grove]

Should i spend 35$ on bf2042?

[grizzled whale]

Bots

Breaktrough on orbital, take the first objective, then parachute down to the roof on the B objective, put down insertion beacon, redeploy as angel, ans just start killing every bot on the ground

They rarely come up there, and with angel you have infinite ammo

Just make sure theres always more enemy bots alive on the point than there are friendlies, otherwise you will just cap the point

If that happens, try to get on the rocket platform and put a beacon there, and just keep killing, you should be able to get 200+kills in a game

[lavish haven]

Play Fortnite for free

[dapper river]

fortnite 😴 🛌

[surreal crystal]

No, wait till season 1

[grizzled whale]

try it on EA play and see if you like it

[jovial minnow]

so that is the name of the game, my nephew always saying he likes fork knife, i thought its some kind of tools for his school assignments

[lavish haven]

🍴 is a great game, with it being F2P and it's new Land and Air vehicles as well as the No Build LTM it's a Battlefielders Dream

[arctic grove]

I already did, and i liked it

[grizzled whale]

Then its up to you

do you like it enough to spend 35 bucks on it?

[arctic grove]

Yeah kinda, but like i didnt play a lot on ea play

Only regular multiplayer

[grizzled whale]

if you liked it enough to spend 35 bucks on it then theres your answer

[arctic grove]

ok, il buy it then

[sweet ice]

trash game 🤮

fix your fucking game

[amber heath]

[arctic grove]

Are there Asian players in 2042?
I just bought the game

[edgy oriole]

asian market is pretty much non existent is what ive been seeing lately.

[low crescent]

why did u buy the game lol

[jovial minnow]

yeah the gap is narrow for people in asian servers to play 2042, so not much

[low crescent]

how many players does this game have

2000?

[lavish haven]

128

[low crescent]

i did not mean that

[lavish haven]

You mean how many in Hazard Zone? Pretty sure that's 32...

[low crescent]

lol

[vivid iron]

D une beaute cousin

[marsh helm]

I still miss the good old day when EA still in Taiwan

[upbeat sand]

the ccp moment

need dose china moola

[marsh helm]

my exist would make me -100000 social credit lol

[surreal crystal]

eyoooooooooo

[tame cobalt]

New air vehicle coming to 2042 https://twitter.com/temporyal/status/1505529597030412292?t=alvfa4_6iV3gDhFV2NCmgQ&s=19

Sukhoi S-70 Hunter-B

[marsh helm]

we are not sure is it cut content or unreleased items ( i'm looking at you bfv

[tame cobalt]

Sure

The IRL version of it is unmanned. I'm guessing the ingame version will have a pilot

[jovial minnow]

what exactly are you referencing?

[marsh helm]

there are a lot of things get cut in bfv , bishop spg , hummel spg , a lot of outfit , weapons ? usa and jp pt boat , usa and jp dive bomber , 3 chapters ?

chirchill avre

[jovial minnow]

was there any reference to the eastern front updates because frankly i just want that in bfv

[marsh helm]

we dont know because accroding to temporyal there are no name with the 3 cut chapters

The cut off support of bfv isn't that suprise me , first week sell must be very very bad because of uneducated guy , hate train of wahmen and colors , terrible pr marketing , some dice dev say a lot of stupid words on twitter make even less people buy it

[fierce gull]

damn that looking sexy af

[arctic grove]

Su-70 < still running wwii engine

[jagged snow]

Thanks a lot mate.
Much appreciated.

[cedar turtle]

I agree, but it's bigger than black and white. It's a problem with the whole way of life.

[arctic grove]

Sometimes you just gotta wake up

[lavish haven]

Ooooh boy Fortnite just got a repair tool and new tanks and planes PLUS they turned off building

[fierce gull]

damn fortnite and call of duty copying battlefield 2042

[arctic grove]

Bf4 has no Asian servers.
Had to buy it coz idk

[marsh helm]

bruh bf4 has server in jp and hk

but they always get ddos by chinese player so basically can't play in asia

[river trench]

Are the unreleased stuff will be released later to this game?

[deft eagle]

Paar deutsche hier die bock auf paar Runden haben ?

[hazy cedar]

Nein

[deft eagle]

😂

[wise zodiac]

English only, y'all.

[waxen turret]

Bf3 and bf4 are so much better then 2042

[marsh helm]

wow so original this is the 2142 times I've heard about it

[waxen turret]

im happy about it, it's a sign that 2042 failed

[river sequoia]

Is the Bolt a real machine, or futuristic thing?

[marsh helm]

Bad news it's real

[river sequoia]

Has it seen combat? What's it purpose?

[marsh helm]

No probably there's no army would and will use it

[river sequoia]

Know they did some experiments with fast tanks during ww2. But didn't catch on

[waxen turret]

even the sound design in 2042 is bad af..

[radiant prism]

The Bolte is based on a real vehicle, but not a military one.

Ok wait excuse me it is based on a military vehicle, but it was on trial by the US military. Looks loosely based on the Ripsaw

[river sequoia]

War tape setting in Bad Company 2 was awesome.

[river sequoia]

How did it perform in military setting?
I'm not sold on it.

[radiant prism]

Wasn’t taken on in large numbers, was more of an experimental thing. Would’ve been used for fast recon.

[junior pike]

Why is the update so slow, and is the new dice so inefficient?:(

[radiant prism]

The ripsaw is commercially available, which I think is why it’s available for both factions

I think the premise in game is that it’s been repurposed for a military role

[mental delta]

Probably not, considering they needed 3 months to get us a fresh scoreboard, you'll probably never get that stuff

Moreover it seems like we're not getting any infos about season 1

[radiant prism]

https://www.textronsystems.com/products/ripsaw-ev3-f4 @river sequoia

[fierce gull]

Real life bolte

[radiant prism]

Yup, appears to be what it’s based on

[fierce gull]

People gonna rage in war

[radiant prism]

It was on top gear a long time ago lol

Richard Hammond drove it around Abu Dhabi IIRC

https://youtu.be/EyZwhg0uvhE

Dubai actually nvm

[placid echo]

"dun dun dun dun dun dun dun" intensifies

[compact sleet]

They won’t rage cause they got run over

[radiant prism]

There’s one too many duns in there

[placid echo]

That's the bolte firing

[safe inlet]

Booting this game up for the first time in a month

Missed how chaotic gameplay during storms can be

[next onyx]

Oh yuck the Bolte it's real too.

[compact sleet]

They need to add different planes like in bfv

[river sequoia]

Maybe a air to ground attack plane?

[next onyx]

Don't expect much variety.

We have jets with AGMS and that's it.

[slim quiver]

Last thing I need to see is more vehicles

[river sequoia]

We will probably see more drones/autonomous vehicles. As of now we only have the dog.

[pearl zenith]

As if dealing with 1 wasn't enough

[river sequoia]

Future BF2042 is everyone stay in base, and controls dogs, birds, and armadillos on the Battlefield.

[copper tundra]

If only everything looked this good ingame. (I miss BF Series being THE best looking game available!)

[slim quiver]

I’d be okay with this

[slim quiver]

I’d say the only time BF was the best looking game of its era was probably BF1

BF1 was a whole other level of how games looked

[fierce gull]

People at the airforce:

[slim quiver]

Crysis 1 and 2 pretty much dominated graphics and physics for a bit when it came out

[pearl zenith]

I played bf1 for the 1st time a few days ago and I got put into a map that actually put a scene that a war was going and it had stars at night, pretty cool

[slim quiver]

Since the first one I think came out as early as 2007

[slim quiver]

BF1 was something else

I doubt they will ever capture that art and magic again

[next onyx]

It's also one thing when you've been playing first person shooters for so long.

[river sequoia]

I believe the graphic+destruction in BC2, BF3 and BF4 was leading.

[slim quiver]

BC2 wasn’t a huge graphical upgrade

[next onyx]

It just simply expanded the mechanics.

Was a big major pc title in a long time too.

As bad co 1 wasn't on pc.

Wait I misread that all lol.

[slim quiver]

Crysis 2 came out around the same time and had much more clutter and lighting differences

There’s a reason why crysis was known for fidelity in its series

[river sequoia]

Yes, Crysis 2 looks better in that comparison

How was the destruction in that Crysis-game?

[slim quiver]

It was nothing beyond glass or concrete braking. Crysis wasn’t built around destruction in mind

Granted BC2 was built around just smaller empty buildings collapsing

That’s why BC buildings are empty

They are built to be destroyed anyways

Tho even BC2 has more destruction than 2042 from what I can tell

[river sequoia]

2042 is horrible in regards of destruction. Such a downgrade

[slim quiver]

It’s a massive downgrade

BF1 I think had extremely impressive destruction

When a zeppelin falls from the sky

It makes a definite map impact

It’s a really super cool thing to see

[river sequoia]

And it can crash at random places?

[slim quiver]

Yes

It depends where it is in the sky

It moves throughout the map so

[river sequoia]

Because the "boring" thing with BF4(?) was that the tall building always ended up the same.

[slim quiver]

Ye I remember that

The thing is tho

[foggy crest]

dont know about crysis 2 destruction but crysis 1 was decent watch this https://youtu.be/1juWXxjFSZg

[river sequoia]

Destruction should be a thing a team can use to their advantage. For example make a building fall in a specific direction.

[slim quiver]

BC2 has better destruction than most BF games because the entire game had buildings built around the idea of ultimately being destroyed. You have more detail in the maps in later BF games than BC2

[slim quiver]

Yeah Crysis 1 had great destruction

Crysis 2 was not the same

Better graphics, less destruction

[river sequoia]

Guess the struggle in BC2 and destruction, was that the whole battlefield was completely flat towards the end of the round.

[foggy crest]

yeah because i think they had to make it for console if i remember correctly

[slim quiver]

Exactly

[slim quiver]

You are correct

It didn’t stop Crysis 2 from having amazing graphics but the destruction needed to take a hit

@river sequoia I wonder if 2042 destruction took a hit because cross gen

[river sequoia]

Hmm, maybe. Also trying to go for 124 player maps?

[slim quiver]

Think about the reality of the situation. The PS4 and the Xbox One are not at all powerful consoles

They had 64 player maps only

But could they even fit the better graphics AND destruction?

[foggy crest]

crytek in 2013 made ryse son of rome that game visuals are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ahead of its time

[glossy storm]

Why is Crysis 2 from 2011 being compared to Bad Company 2 from 2010?

Shouldn't it be compared to BF3?

[next onyx]

Actually think 1 and 5 generally had better destruction just due to how different it worked.

You could blow whole chunks off a building instead of a buildings walls blown off and then it collapsing as if a script went off.

[river sequoia]

Just love the more classic Battlefield themes. Spent so many years in those games.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-kJ3px9rr0

(Evolution of the Battlefield Theme 2002-2021)

[slim quiver]

Even if it was

[slim quiver]

I loved the older BF games as well

[river sequoia]

Such nostalgia ❤️

[slim quiver]

You had games like uncharted 3, La Noire in 2011

Arkham City

Actually La Noire one of the most impressive graphical games of its time

[foggy crest]

i will still say 2011 best looking game was crysis 2

[slim quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/lanoire-sneeze-cole-phelps-gif-21299384

[cedar turtle]

I recently bought LA Noire on Steam. Pretty awesome game.

[slim quiver]

It’s amazing even in this day

The stuff they accomplished with the mechanics of that game

[cedar turtle]

Especially the facial stuff.

[foggy crest]

mafia 2 was also good

[next onyx]

I have yet to give noire a go.

I just don't see many people talking about it though.

[slim quiver]

Yes

[slim quiver]

It’s amazing

It’s just not talked about because it’s 11 years old

[next onyx]

Weird to hear too.

Rockstar had a pretty banger era during the 2010's to the 13's.

[lyric snow]

hello world

[wise zodiac]

Sorry for the late reply, but LA Noire was fun.

Mafia was also a fun series. I need to pick up Mafia 3.

[wide shore]

I thought LA Noire was good but not great. But I also only played it like a year ago so I totally could’ve missed its impression.

[spiral whale]

Damn that shit was crazy

[feral locust]

Man

[arctic grove]

wtf happened to that franchise

[foggy crest]

the new one is coming

[arctic grove]

did ea add p2w bullshit

[foggy crest]

ea has nothing to do with crysis 4

[arctic grove]

yeah good

while I'm watching a sick gears 5 cutscence how's 2042 doing

at least ea didn't shut them down cuz they wanted to make a star wars single player game

[wanton magnet]

Did they mention when they were going to fix the killfeed? Can only see the squad even when I have it set to all.

[orchid gazelle]

Do you know the release date for the next update ? They said April

[wide violet]

april 2024

and you need to pay 69.99 for it

[arctic grove]

So original

[wanton magnet]

Oh I see. Thanks

[river zinc]

@wide violet sounds reasonable 😂

[errant scarab]

i want play firestorm

[tepid breach]

is shanghai coming to 2042 or not

[wide shore]

Probably not

[slow terrace]

you live in the past

[arctic grove]

kaleidoscope

[arctic grove]

its for sure a known issue

[arctic grove]

well leaks are proposing some pretty exciting content thus far but i don’t really know if we should discuss them

[river trench]

Man the unreleased stuff in this game looks cool are they going to add them?

[arctic grove]

the only thing I think dice will scrap is the Boris blast specialist helmet, so be sure to be on the game within 24hr of every new weekly challenge in case they pull it again

[river trench]

I think we gonna wait alot of time till they do anything

[tepid breach]

doesnt answer my question

[arctic grove]

yes cause it’s essentially kaleidoscope in my perspective

[tepid breach]

so they are porting it to 2042

[arctic grove]

no but kaleidoscope is Shanghai 2.0 just without a giant falling skyscraper

and it’s not in China but South Korea if you really want to get technical

[rapid moon]

I mean the biggest difference is that shanghai isnt shit

[arctic grove]

some would argue Shanghai sucks

personally I didn’t really like it

[clever coyote]

i hate shanghai now

theres always some untouchable try hard in the chopper who wipes out the server and no way of killing him

[arctic grove]

that was an issue with pretty much all maps in bf4 and boy did it get bad

[summer crescent]

Sooooooo…
The game still buggy?

[clever coyote]

it feels worse on shanghai cuz theres no AA / jets

[arctic grove]

it’s why I played mostly locker/metro and SOMETIMES GOLMUD if I wanted to play vehicles, otherwise those helicopter Tom cruises would have everything under their control

[clever coyote]

i like golmud that ones a pretty good balance of chaos

[arctic grove]

what major game isn’t, 5 months after release?

[arctic grove]

yup if jets get too close and too comfortable near the ground the AAs tear them a new one, it was my favorite vehicle map

now AAs…..

[clever coyote]

shanghai used to be one of my favorite maps especially before the building falls. so much fun fighting up there. but now some sweaty nerd in a chopper kills everyone who spawns there before they have a chance to move

[arctic grove]

and since there’s a giant skill gap in playing jets/helis even if you take one to counter

good luck

[rustic falcon]

Why does the Littlebird need rockets as well as guns?

But stupid ain’t it

[clever coyote]

infantry get AA / stingers but they die before lockons even complete. if they some how get a missile off, oh hes got smoke/cover. if you're lucky enough to hit him, oh well hes fine takes at least 3 to kill him good luck getting 1

[arctic grove]

rockets and guns is…. OK,

but 20mm and AGMs that if both hit your vehicle is almost literally dead?
no

[rustic falcon]

I’ve been killed more times by the rockets than anything else tbf

[arctic grove]

the nightbird can just orbit any ground vehicle like it’s the sun and the nightbird is a planet pummeling them with AGMs while the only vehicle in game that really has armament to fight vehicles won’t even be able to traverse the turret in time to even shoot back

and then after 2 AGMs it’ll be a breeze using 20mm to finish the kill

[rustic falcon]

Not to mention on controller, controlling tanks and their turrets seems really fidgety, compared to BF4 it was just one smooth movement

Sometimes when I’m rotating the turret, my tank likes to reverse😂

[arctic grove]

that’s why I use 3rd person a lot and 1st mainly for taking precise shots because of how clunky and delayed the movement and inputs are, even then it still won’t help me shoot the orbiting helis

[arctic grove]

that’s one of the most annoying things

almost makes you think C5 drones are liberators because of how strange controller movement in tanks and armored vehicles are

[arctic grove]

i genuinely wonder too what is the counter to them, I guess only other helis

[tepid breach]

bruh no its literally not

kaleidoscope is ass

[arctic grove]

[radiant prism]

People prop up Shanghai like some god tier map

[tepid breach]

plus there were a ton of articles that said shanghai was coming to 2042

[radiant prism]

Its like a 6.5/10 at most, and thats before the skyscraper collapse ruins it

[arctic grove]

show articles

[radiant prism]

Yeah I never saw these articles, let alone anything official from DICE

[tepid breach]

https://www.altchar.com/game-news/battlefield-2042-to-feature-metro-caspian-border-siege-of-shanghai-and-more-classic-maps-asb3l6I5HKJ0

https://earlygame.com/battlefield/battlehub-maps-remastered-battlefield-2042-shanghai/

if you just google it theres tons of results. or maybe im just stupid i dont knwo

[radiant prism]

"As always with unconfirmed info, we suggest you take this with a grain of salt until we get more info." From the first link.

[arctic grove]

yea saw that too

[radiant prism]

Literally both of those articles' sole source is Tom Henderson

And people wonder why I get pissed off about people taking his words as godsend.

[arctic grove]

yeah it’s best you don’t take Tom Henderson as 100% fact or some sort of prophet

[radiant prism]

Remember when he claimed to have THE reveal trailer?

[honest moth]

So is 2042 still ass or did they fix it

[arctic grove]

lol did he say that, I wasn’t even aware of that one

but i also don’t doubt it

[rustic falcon]

It’s still awful

[arctic grove]

a lot more stable than before, but it would depend more precisely on when is the last time you played the game

[tepid breach]

ass

[rustic falcon]

Balance wise it’s indescribable

[arctic grove]

c5 drones still invalidate armored vehicles

the nightbird and bolt pain continues

stability wise? you should see improvements

[rustic falcon]

I play on Xbox One and the optimisation for last gen is pretty bad

[honest moth]

How about hit marker wise? Did they fix the unregistering hits? Last I played I think was the beginning of February maybe near the end of January.

That's disappointing they have yet to fix the c5 drones. Not to sure what the night bird and bolt pain is. You may have to feel me in on that one.

[rustic falcon]

The nightbird is in the transport category. So obvs everyone is going to pick them over the Mi-35 or the Condor, the rockets are just about the only thing people use to kill you if you’re on foot, 4 shot kill if they are all direct hits. The heli is basically just an attack chopper on steroids.

And the Bolte? Has the armour of a tank, the speed and mobility of a jeep, and can have a 30mm cannon and missiles, which is the only thing everyone seems to run on it.

[honest moth]

Sheesh yeah they need to work on those from the sounds of it.

[sacred depot]

still ass

[rapid moon]

Oh no its a bad map but it isnt comparable to how atrocious kaleidoscope

[silk surge]

Is it just me are there very few ppl ingame atm?

I usually get full games any time of the day, but now I end up in 20v20 servers.

[rapid moon]

Well playerbase is on a steady decline and will be until season 1

There will probably be a small spike with the april patch but nothing huge

[silk surge]

Yeah, but it was way better yesterday, cant decline that fast can it?

[rapid moon]

Well no you mustve just got on at a weird time

Also its sunday night i dont think a lot of ppl play at this time

[silk surge]

Yeah you're probably right.

[radiant prism]

Probably just a fluke yeah

[raven iron]

Anyone wanna run some games on PlayStation? Just dm

[radiant prism]

Im gonna get on here in a sec myself, I'll let you know. I've also heard whisperings of server connection issues on other titles so it could be related? idk

[silk surge]

Would have been up for it, but I just stopped playing for today

@radiant prism Damn, T1 Dozer? That's one of the hardest ones.

[radiant prism]

First game I joined and its 64v64

[sudden flame]

Y’all need to revive more

[rapid moon]

No i dont wanna play revive classes theyre boring

[wide shore]

I love playing as a medic. I revive all the time.

I don’t get revived however. I feel like I’m invisible to medics when I’m dead

[rapid moon]

I just fly around and shit

And peek people at the speed of sound bhopping with mackay

[arctic grove]

We aren’t who you need to talk to about that

[deep sail]

I don't get why ppl say there's no chaos in bf2042 when I always spawn and get killed right away lmfao.

[gray fossil]

did the devs fix frame rate

[echo shale]

How is the game now?

[sudden flame]

It’s a bit better

[wide shore]

Anyone sitting on a flag in 128 BT will automatically know that’s not true. It’s pure chaos

[echo shale]

Last time i played everyone was using 2 weapons and cars can go upright

Portal match finding was broken and sun set was at north

Did it change?

[deep sail]

I run game solid 60fps no drops with a cheap geforc rtx e 2060 graphic card lol

[sudden flame]

Yea but it’s ass on PS4

[echo shale]

From what iam reading its game over for this game

[bitter skiff]

You read, I blast away

[deep sail]

Too much speculations and rumors. Game ain't even that old and people go nutz.

[slow terrace]

on your ps4*

[compact sleet]

W

[sudden flame]

I guess I’m just unlucky

[silk surge]

https://youtu.be/wK5f7az5dIY Rewatching this makes me REALLY hope that CTF will return in S1.

[silk surge]

Whoever says that are absolute clowns. There's literally never been more chaos in a Battlefield game before. Too much chaos is one of my strange complaints about this game.

[stark inlet]

i didnt know they made rtx hybrid now
what is "e 2060"
how in the name of holy pasta is 2060 cheap

[silk surge]

Holy pasta?

[hexed mango]

👼 🍝

[silk surge]

Literally never heard anyone say holy pasta before.

[hexed mango]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stark inlet]

i believe in pasta
not in god

[hexed mango]

respectable

[stark inlet]

[hexed mango]

also i think the person said rtx e 2060 as a typo, cause they missed the e in geforce so im assuming their keyboard went wonk

[stark inlet]

ik i m just messing with them

[hexed mango]

anyways imagine not having a 3070

[silk surge]

That's some solid detective skills.

[hexed mango]

honestly im literally sherlock holmes or smth

[stark inlet]

batman lvl shit

[hexed mango]

or batman, yes, that would be cooler

speaking of batman, ima go get some chips

[silk surge]

Batman is waaaay cooler than Sherlock.

[stark inlet]

lend me money or i tell ur identity to ya mom

she will come and beat u up real good

[hexed mango]

did you know if you scream "fortnite balls" at 3 am 5 times very loud, a figure called your mom will surely beat you up

[stark inlet]

XD

playing fortnite is cool
-some kid

[white geyser]

[hexed mango]

[arctic grove]

trust me the game really isnt good now

[hexed mango]

rush 2042 keeps me sane

[rapid moon]

Maps dont even work for that either its not much fun to me

[hexed mango]

there's like 80% less running in rush

[rapid moon]

Kaleidoscope first sector is like omaha beach but with less cover somehow

[hexed mango]

the maps are mostly more confined to a linear trajectory rather than like circles idk

[rapid moon]

Running isnt my issue with them 80% of the sectors are completely broken for one of the sides

[hexed mango]

that makes it more fun, its chaotic and you have to just get lucky

[rapid moon]

Theyre either stupidly easy to take or theyre impossible to take if the teams are balanced

[bitter skiff]

I like the idea of less running

[rapid moon]

I dont like it when luck is introduced as a factor

Im not there to play the lottery

[hexed mango]

idk i like it, and for me thats all that matters, mainly cause its me and im the one playing, cause im me

[bitter skiff]

I trade the chaos for more strategic play

I would I mean

[rapid moon]

Yeah everyone has different tastes i just dont like it when they dumb games down by making it purely luck if you can take a bomb or not

[hexed mango]

i mean they didnt do this intentionally, they just placed the objectives, im assuming they didnt account for how players would use them cause they cant read people's minds.

[rapid moon]

I know its not intentional its just horrible map design which is the biggest flaw of the game for me next to just lack of content

[hexed mango]

how is there a lack of content though, they literally have 3 main gamemodes, aow including 2 inside it, portal including maps, guns, etc from 3 other games, and a server browser, and hz having its entire own system aswell

[rapid moon]

We all know that hazard zone is a joke

And portal doesnt interest me

[hexed mango]

key being "me", that still doesnt prove there's a lack of content.

[sour steeple]

u checked out the portal custom servers? all of the are aweful milsim clown server

[hexed mango]

the featured ones arent

[rapid moon]

Ive put at least 70 hours in the featured stuff btw

[rapid moon]

Also no thats not the key look at any other bf game and check the amount of maps and guns on release its not me its the lack of content buddy

[sour steeple]

the official ones are meh since bf3 one conquest round lasts mostly for like 10mins or less. and ive rather woulve play with more tickets. smaw is hitscan. dont even need stinger or so against helis. an94 1frame killing weapon. ye nice

[rapid moon]

Bf1 had 24 primaries and 18 secondaries on release also 9 maps all of which were at least decent

[hexed mango]

as i said above, the amount that portal and aow includes is more than sufficient compared to other games.

[rapid moon]

2042 has 4 maps that are any good

[rapid moon]

Its recycled content and just isnt fun the main game shouldnt take a backseat to just putting in stuff that already exists

[sour steeple]

its small since on costumes ones exp is turned down and only clown servers and official ones are also not well done.

[hexed mango]

portal gives xp if you dont have bots or you're in a featured game

[arctic grove]

ima go kick ass and chew bubble gum but id better hope that 2042s s1 is here

[sour steeple]

doesnt matter. no normal servers

[hexed mango]

early summer

[sour steeple]

only milsim crap

[hexed mango]

there are a handful of normal servers.... im playing on one rn

[rapid moon]

And theres only so many times you can play the same round of gun master before getting bored

[sour steeple]

not one

[hexed mango]

so dont play gun master?

[rapid moon]

It was an example

But youve made it pretty obvious that youre blind to critisism so im going to head out

[sour steeple]

no. give me just normal conquest with 200% tickets. bc2 or bf3 gear but with bf2042 movement mechanics. max 64p or 32 depends on maps

[hexed mango]

the 2nd popular portal server is conquest

the 5th is ww2 conquest

[sour steeple]

go away with ww

[hexed mango]

ok there's a caspian conquest hardcore

[sour steeple]

milsim crap. hc kekw

ALL PORTAL SERVERS are crap not one rn. the #1 conquest is on small maps on 128 players... this is just clusterf*** and the reest are milsim or hc servers. sorry but everything unplayable besides base game mp

[hexed mango]

im sorry you're too picky, go play a game for a lower level mindset, like fortnite, that suits you better

[sour steeple]

more likely where u need actual skill to play. got ya

[hexed mango]

you could also just play aow, without the support of a 200% ticket rate to help you

[sour steeple]

the 200% is needed for the bf3 portal one. bcuz ticket bleed is insane where most games are over in 5mins. base game i dont care about ticket counter. bf3 official server is the only i enjoyed in portal but every game like 5-10mins

[tranquil turtle]

"milsim"
GUI on
Minimap on
3D spotting on
2x movement speed

[hexed mango]

aka not hardcore

[tranquil turtle]

Do 2042 players even know what milsim means

Either that shit or zombie Servers

The most fun I've had in portal was in an actual hardcore WW2 server

No ui at all

[midnight oar]

https://youtu.be/SMP51rv1EGY

[bitter skiff]

Holy hell!

[slim quiver]

I would imagine they have an okay idea

but not 100%

[uncut notch]

Would be nice

[desert elbow]

Well what game would you consider a milsim

The only one I can think of would be Arma

There are others that come close but at their core they are gameplay focused for the sake of fun

[mossy solar]

So, when game first launched. I muted about 80% of the community. Now only half the chat is muted. 🤔

[drowsy sapphire]

Squad, Hell let loose (kinda not really), Arma, and uhh well that’s probably it

[tranquil turtle]

I thought of Arma as well

Maybe squad

[desert elbow]

Squad is realistic but I wouldn’t call it a milsim, great game though

Same with hell let loose

[drowsy sapphire]

Yea

I’d say Arma is big daddy for Military Simulation cause dang

I would love to play the game but I can’t find no server that’s good, it’s all messy, and I’m guessing it’s just cause the game is for people who already know everything about good servers and how to role with the game

[tranquil turtle]

The definition of milsim is too stiff to be applied to bf, why do people bother trying to turn 2042 into a "milsim"

[drowsy sapphire]

So I kinda wasted $7… and that was like a year or two ago

[rocky kraken]

hello everyone

[drowsy sapphire]

Meh, all I know is that people just take out hud and put hardcore mode then call it milsim in server browser

That’s for 2042

[tranquil turtle]

Not even hud, they disable the minimap and call it a day

[drowsy sapphire]

Yea the hud

But they also put it in hardcore so damage is increased and there’s a little more realism, but honestly ehh, Battlefield just doesn’t stick with the milsim part to me weirdly

[tranquil turtle]

I've seen 600% damage servers
They have full hud enabled

You say it's realistic then give me the superhuman abilities to see my ammo without checking my gun, putting digital markers wherever I want, and having a map of my battlefield that I can see at all times

[little dust]

when's the being able to remove attachments from guns/emblems from playercard DLC dropping? can't wait to spend another $90 on it

[vapid token]

I'm surprised this game is still being updated and the plug hasn't been pulled out yet, it's a lost cause. No offense to you devs.

Unfortunate to have a great franchise be ruined, unless the next battlefield, if there will be a next battlefield, is the best bf game and game in general

[sweet matrix]

The game is great

[arctic grove]

Wrong

[sweet matrix]

It just needs a campaign and it'll be 10/10

[arctic grove]

Campaign this late in the game?

[sweet matrix]

Campaigns are always the best part. And we need like a navy, battleship aspect

[vapid token]

^what necondaa said. I was unhappy to see no campaign

[little dust]

they're basically contractually obligated to keep producing content for a minimum of 1-2 years, as they can't just stop mid season or anything

[arctic grove]

Campaign is too late to be added might as well just focus all about Multiplayer

[vapid token]

I see, but very few people play this game. I believe it's too late

[arctic grove]

I still play it…

[little dust]

could very well be, however their idea with this game was the long term anyway, so who knows. maybe it'll get some traction when it has a least 1/2 the content of the bf games of old, till then tho we just need to wait and see

[vapid token]

I hear ya. But I do want to point out the fact it took them months to add a scoreboard, which isn't that hard to do. Copy and paste bfv scoreboard into 2042, edit it to make it look like 2042 and we have one

If im not wrong, the head of DICE or an official at DICE blamed covid for the reason why the game is failing

That isn't a good excuse if that's true. Maybe the first few months of it was challenging, but the company could always delay the game

Quality over Quantity of players

[little dust]

yes and no i'd say, as they're basically working with a new code base and certain things weren't implemented it'd be harder for them to do things that might be considered easy, as they're essentially building from scratch using this new portal friendly coding base, i could be wrong tho. i think they just went a bit too far in certain areas of the game too soon, which is what's causing the rest of the game to suffer.

[cyan trout]

you are assuming the length of a season would be the same as other games

[little dust]

they've already said that a year pass would consist of 4 season each lasting a few months... idk what you mean

[twilit falcon]

Man hazard zone is so dead right now its sad. I really enjoy this game too. Really hope they turn it around and get everyone playing again. There is so much good here.

[cyan trout]

nowhere in there marketing does it specify how long a season would be. people that bought year 1 pass are only guaranteed 4 battlepasses, 4 new specialists, and skins

[little dust]

"Ryan McArthur, senior producer at DICE, published an article about the future of Battlefield 2042 on February 1 which confirmed Season 1's delay to summer 2022. DICE planned to release four battle passes in 2022, with each pass estimated to run for at least three months."

close enough

[twilit falcon]

I genuinely enjoy the game alot. Really hope it turns things around.

[cyan trout]

you can believe that if you would like. I can honestly see them dumping the skins and specialists on the year 1 pass owners then running a month long season each with increased battlepass xp for year 1 pass owners for maybe 4 months.

[little dust]

"What are the live service plans for Battlefield 2042?
We’re taking a new approach to live service for a Battlefield game where players will be given the services and evolution they have come to expect from modern multiplayer games, all aimed at keeping the community playing together for years to come.

We’ll be evolving our world and expanding on the fiction through Seasons, each one lasting for about three months. Every Season will come with a new free and paid-for Battle Pass, delivering new content to chase after.

In our first year of live service, we will deliver four Seasons, with four Battle Passes, four new Specialists, along with more fresh content."
another one from the bf 2042 faq page, I think that ideal is a bit hate biased, but you're free to think what you want ^.^ hopefully regardless the game gets better 🙂

[flat brook]

Battlefield 2042 is the greatest game i’ve ever played in all time

[cyan trout]

EA and Dice haven't garnered much trust after how they treated the previous battlefield games. hopefully your idealism pays off. i too hope the game improves. I just don't see support for this game lasting more than 2 years total from release.

[little dust]

idealism? maybe, seems to me it's pretty set in stone in writing atm tho, if they were to suddenly drop the game it'd have to be after they finish the year pass otherwise they could open themselves to a class action

[flat brook]

I think 2042 is going to become gaming phenomenon like Minecraft and Fortnite are. It has way too much potential and I definitely see this game being out there even in a decade from now.

[cyan trout]

all they would have to do is give the pass holders 4 new specialist, skins, and the equivalent of 4 battlepasses. Regardless of the time those battlepasses run they would be covered.

[cyan trout]

all battlefield games have some people playing them for 10 years after release?

[flat brook]

I mean, it’s going to be popular even from a decade from now, on similar levels of Minecraft has been

because it’s a phenomenon in the gaming industry

[cyan trout]

[wide violet]

[flat brook]

Why did you send that?

[wide violet]

cheeky lad

[flat brook]

I have very good reasonings as to why i believe this

[wide violet]

pls, keep them to yourself

[cyan trout]

i second that motion

[flat brook]

For one we know that bf 2042 might be free to play in the future, combined with the updates and portal it’s going to explode and everyone is going to play it and there’s going to be a renewed interest in the game and it will skyrocket to levels never before seen by any other battlefield game in history

It’ll be the greatest comeback in gaming history on greater levels than no man’s sky was

And for one I don’t even think it’s a bad game personally it’s one of the best games i’ve played i love it so far

And people are going to think the same once they iron some things out

And that’s why it’s going to blow up and become a phenomenon

[cyan trout]

[wide violet]

[flat brook]

well y’all killed this chat lol

[dusky blade]

My issue with the game is the specialists, movement, design, gamemodes, customisation, progression

That’s not being changed

[lone wren]

Not just that the chat system is scuffed

Can't chat to the enemy team for the funny

[dusky blade]

Oh yeah also the legacy features like chat and voice chat lol

Oh and disbanding lobbies, and parties, and literally all the missing social features

[lone wren]

The funny moments are enemies accusing you of hacking

[scenic tartan]

People only think its bad because they only played during the free trial and listened to the internet shitting on it for the last 4 months

Or they just hate EA or have some other hangup or are cod fanboys and shit on it without even knowing anything

[edgy oriole]

i agree that free weekend time wasnt the best time to do that Those dudes "fixed" server problems aka made finding games hard af then started their holiday at the end of that day. It was rough telling all the freebies that dice messed up the servers the day before free weekend started.

[arctic grove]

If all specialists got skins with a helmet and balaclava that covered their entire face would you still mind them?

[hexed mango]

voip is coming in a few weeks

[hexed mango]

they have parties.

[arctic grove]

I really don’t think an all chat would work in a 128 player lobby

[hexed mango]

you know, the big blue button that shows up when you hit social

[hexed mango]

i would love to see the chaos, it would be funny for exactly 0.12039120390218598190589 seconds

[arctic grove]

Right lol then it would descend into several people spamming it at once

[hexed mango]

precisely

[arctic grove]

Maybe some sort of chat cooldown for all players to counter it would work, and the same regular squad, all and team chat options

[hexed mango]

yeah possibly, although i bet people would complain regardless

ik that the voip update is only for squads, but i think proximity chat would be cool, maybe proximity chat for teammates, maybe not everyone cause then it would get really weird... but idk would be an interesting idea

[arctic grove]

Disbanding lobbies was something I disliked a little bit in MW2019, I don’t really understand why it’s in 2042, but im sure it has one if not many valid reasonings

In both games ^

[hexed mango]

is disbanding lobbies when you rematchmake after a game?
cause its only in aow iirc, and i think it suits better there to try to shift up, i dont really have a problem with it tbh, i think it would be useful not to have it if there was an extreme drought in players (like you couldnt even find a match regardless) but idk

[arctic grove]

Yea it is, Also that makes sense

[hexed mango]

although, a little unrelated, but i kinda wish to things:

1. they would add back the functionality of the leave button at the end of round page, rn its the continue button, and i like that, but also a leave button like in portal would be nice to not enter the 30 second rematchmaking thing
2. they should make the leave game button not go into 30 second rematchmaking, which just seems weird that it currently does

[bitter skiff]

totally

[arctic grove]

And when you do get into games it shouldn’t force you to spawn either

[hexed mango]

true, but i like the cutscene for that one tbh, i think its ok on the start of a match
if you join after the start, then yeah, but it already does that [that being it doesnt spawn you] i believe

[arctic grove]

It’s weird how you can’t choose to spawn on team MAVs or transports either

[hexed mango]

? im pretty sure i've been able to in the past, maybe it was a squad vehicle... i dont remember...

[arctic grove]

Yea probably squads I’m not sure, I’d have to pay more attention if I see a squad mate spawn into one of those and see if I can spawn in with it, also true about the cutscene, they’d pretty much have to scrap it which would be a waste of time, so it’s most likely here to stay which is alright

[hexed mango]

and honestly i like the feel of the cutscene for the most part, as if im actually being deployed, feels nice
although i spawn 10miles away from the obj

[rotund tundra]

Just a question, why 2042 is using EPIC GAME'S Easy anti cheat launcher?

[hexed mango]

uhm

[arctic grove]

Yea it needs to be closer to points

[hexed mango]

there's no restriction on using eac

all you have to do is ask them

[rotund tundra]

When I saw eac, I feel like that I am play fortnite

[hexed mango]

apex also uses it, so does division, ghost recon, paladins, rust, war thunder, squad, gears of war, dead by daylightt, hunt, for honor, etc.

[arctic grove]

It’s just an anti cheat though

[hexed mango]

https://www.easy.ac/en-us/partners/
bf2042 is on here

[arctic grove]

I play war thunder and it certainly doesn’t feel like fortnite to me

[hexed mango]

lol

[copper fulcrum]

Ah yes, Hunt Showdown is just like Paladins

[hexed mango]

no idea never played either

[copper fulcrum]

Me either but I know about both games

It's a good anti-cheat. Halo Master Chief Collection and Infinite uses it as well.

I don't understand why EAC being made by Epic MegaGames (remember when it was called that?) has to really mean that Fortnite is behind anything.

[hexed mango]

lolx2

[copper fulcrum]

Dragon Ball Fighter Z also feels like Fortnite huh?

[hexed mango]

isnt goku in fortnite or smth idk

well anyways im heading to sleep, gotta wake up early tomorrow, im taking my driving test

[elder patrol]

poo poo pee pee

[jovial minnow]

love me some fork knife discussion

[tepid breach]

lmao

[scenic tartan]

I watched 5 min of xqcow playing warzone

and people have the audacity to call 2042 a bad game?

that was literally aids

[tepid breach]

yeah 2042 is aids

[scenic tartan]

loot for 45 seconds, then a gunfight that lasts 2 seconds max with someone wearing the mask from SAW and you die

[tepid breach]

the fact that warzone and 2042 is being compared together makes them both aids

[austere stone]

yeah its not a bad game

its terrible

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah Warzone is a terrible game

[torpid shuttle]

BF2042 is not a bad game.
It's terrible game.

[arctic grove]

TErrIbLE

Don't be sad

[torpid shuttle]

By the way... is this game good as BF2 or BF3 yet?

[arctic grove]

By the way... is this game good as BF2 or BF3 yet?

[arctic grove]

By the way... is this game good as BF2 or BF3 yet?

[torpid shuttle]

By the way... is this game good as BF2 or BF3 yet?

[tepid breach]

better than 2042

[copper fulcrum]

You're funny

[torpid shuttle]

Agree

[mental cave]

hi

[torpid shuttle]

Wazone is terrible game.
BF2042 is more terrible game.

[mental cave]

season 1 yet?

[torpid shuttle]

No

[flat brook]

I think battlefield 2042 is a great game, and warzone is a wreck.

[torpid shuttle]

Well let's see.

[mental cave]

damn, imma go back into hibernation and try again next week

[arctic grove]

Some of the gadgets in warzone made the game lame

[torpid shuttle]

Try again at summer season.

[arctic grove]

The br concepts they did was good

Season 1 in summer when kids get out of school 😐

[mental cave]

damn, that's a smart coincidence

idk why kids would want to spend their summer on bf2042 tho

[copper fulcrum]

A lot of kids just play video games now instead of just go outside in the sun

[arctic grove]

It's getting real summer in here

[copper fulcrum]

Video Games are plaguing our kids

Knowing DICE, they'll release a trailer for the first season

[pearl zenith]

bro you really level 221?

[copper fulcrum]

Yes bro

[bitter skiff]

heh\

[bitter skiff]

wow

[mental cave]

technically level 310+

counting the 99 levels before S001

or s000 I guess

[pearl zenith]

Btw once s1 drops are we going to be reset back to level s001 or we simply continue to level 1000?

[arctic grove]

I got 99 problems but but lvl S001 ain't one

[wanton magnet]

I’m guessing the season will have its own separate level and the S00 will remain.

[scenic tartan]

i wonder if they should reset progress

[copper fulcrum]

If you got blown by my C5, I don't feel bad for you, son.

idk. I am not a lyricist.

[arctic grove]

@copper fulcrum ok eminem

[copper fulcrum]

I mean, isn't the original line very similar?

Ninety nine problems but a bitch ain't one
If you having girl problems I feel bad for you son

[pearl zenith]

Sheesh I just saw a leak of something coming to battlefield

[heavy sleet]

love when u click on a vehicle to spawn in during the start of the match and it literally doesnt spawn u in it.. the logic

such a buggy game jfc

[arctic grove]

Angel does it again

[copper fulcrum]

That's it? I'm ready for round two

[arctic grove]

Today I'm proud

[bitter skiff]

yes

[desert elbow]

What was in it?

[bitter skiff]

yeah.... why you holdin out?

[pearl zenith]

It appears to be a combat aerial vehicle

[bitter skiff]

but...

[pearl zenith]

it looks like the b2 bomber but it's called su70

[bitter skiff]

So much for smaller maps!

[pearl zenith]

I can send you the Twitter link in dms if yall want

[bitter skiff]

ok thanks

[silver lantern]

Smh
You just wanted to put salt on that open wound

[arctic grove]

I've put salt on an open wound before

[desert elbow]

Yep

[mental cave]

I've done rubbing alcohol

[desert elbow]

Sure that’d be appreciated

[pearl zenith]

I'm a sucker for fighter jets but not gonna lie to get tier 1 camo I wish kills on people count not just destroying vehicles

[bitter skiff]

I cant wait to bomb some S*it

[pearl zenith]

I just really hope s1 doesn't brick the game

[arctic grove]

I hope they add stationary AA cannons

[pearl zenith]

won't they be easy to destroy?

[arctic grove]

Currently infantry have no way to really counter jets

And yes they will be easily destroyed and rebuilt

[pearl zenith]

Launchers need a buff in terms of getting a lock on

by the time we get a lock it'll be too late to shoot

[arctic grove]

Jets can pretty much outrun the lockons most of the time

[pearl zenith]

especially when they can regenerate flares

[arctic grove]

Having stationery aa cannons at objectives like in BfV and bf1 would help a lot

It also would make flying a little more challenging and fun

Instead of back and forth with little static

[pearl zenith]

well 1st thing 1st our number 1 hope for s1 is the update won't bring a tsunami wave amount of bugs and hoping the servers will still work

[arctic grove]

Not trying to generalize, but most updates introduce some new bug

[pearl zenith]

or adding new modes could result new bugs being added like for example the featured mode HC Conquest mode that got removed, it introduced a bug that spawns you on the wrong side of the map when the match loads up

[arctic grove]

That really wasn't HC not sure why they want to degrade hardcore mode that way

That was more like someone being told to make a hardcore mode that didn't want too. ' fine I'll make it max dmg to 100' call it a day

[pearl zenith]

I mean technically the additional damage made it hc but I still disagree that the Hud was enabled tho, I'm used to hc in cod

[scenic tartan]

not at all

[arctic grove]

@pearl zenith past HC modes is not max dmg but rather max health at 60%

The guns do same damage but people's health is lowered at max

Also there is no 3rd person view on vehicles

[pearl zenith]

I'm not a vehicle user so I wouldn't know

or at least in hc

[arctic grove]

Js, I get the point you made but I have a bad taste in my mouth from 2042 HC mode. To me it feels like no thought was put into it

[pearl zenith]

I wish vehicles wasn't a thing in hc tho

since we are already dealing with all weapons with damage buffs

Hell when I was grinding tier 1 camo for ac42 I got like a 200 meter kill with 1 bullet lol

[arctic grove]

There isn't enough cover for infantry imo rather than vehicles being too op

[pearl zenith]

Plus if there is a leak of a bomber coming to the game, there will be less cover then ever

[arctic grove]

Mostly I play with a squad of friends when we all communicate at objectives we can handle vehicles fairly well

Yeah the bomber will fly back and forth bombing vehicles

From one unbalance to the next

[pearl zenith]

Realistically we know the bomber will only be used on objectives sadly

[heavy sleet]

u know ur team is bad when the other team can park two condors on the roof of ur objective and not a single person destroys them even while you're using soflam

brain damage

[pearl zenith]

I mean wins or losses don't matter if the game doesn't have stats

but true I agree

[heavy sleet]

why cant any of my teammates take out vehicles in ANY game I join on breakthrough?

literally, ive joined 14+ games tonight and not a single teammate takes out any vehicles, 8 enemy vehicles out all game.. about to uninstall this trash jfc

[arctic grove]

A lot of times people refuse to switch gadgets / weapons depending on the situation and hope the threat goes away

[pearl zenith]

The annoying part of destroying vehicles is they can repair themselves

[arctic grove]

That's why I've always disliked core mode. It's one thing to have a perk to allow you to repair its another vehicles auto Gen health

Also the repair tool in core is kinda useless

And health packs honestly

[grizzled whale]

But 2 people can easily put out enough damage to destroy it even when they can repair themselves

[pearl zenith]

I mean if your close to the vehicle that is

[grizzled whale]

and since vehicles are in areas with a lot of infantry running around a lot of the time theres always a couple people with m5's

for example on manifest, if you try to get a vehicle close to the 2 freighters and you mess up even slightly by hitting something, you are gone

[pearl zenith]

And if you don't get targeted by snipers

[arctic grove]

There are so many m5's and flying squirrel people with lockons

[grizzled whale]

sniper are an issue?

[pearl zenith]

yup they are in every possible place where you can go at the highest point possible

[grizzled whale]

that aint really an issue for vehicles tho

[arctic grove]

It can be hard to navigate maps solo in a vehicle. When you have competent Gunners that's another stores

[grizzled whale]

and thats pretty much what snipers do, get to a high point

[grizzled whale]

ive never had competent support gunners

[arctic grove]

@grizzled whale blueberries usually aren't lol

Never trust a blueberry to have your back

[grizzled whale]

Ever time im slaying in a wildcat THE MOMENT i start targeting a chopper or something and stand still for a bit because of that, i start getting targeted

and ive NEVER had a support gunner actually kill someone targeting me

[arctic grove]

Yeah most of the time I have my squad mate take out choppers with the flak while I focus on other vehicles and infantry

[grizzled whale]

they are always either:
Not doing anything, or
Shooting at the target im shooting at, as if that minigun does anything

[heavy sleet]

idk why my teammates cant take vehicles out

[arctic grove]

There is a lot of noobs

[heavy sleet]

literally every game.. once again, 8 vehicles out, literally on the objective, im soflaming and nobody is doing shit but shooting at them with AR's

who tf shoots at a fkn tank with a goddamn AR?!!?!?!? JFC. so braindead, cringey man

[arctic grove]

There are a lot of people that got hyped wanted a new game and came from games different than bf and not used to vehicles

[heavy sleet]

yeah i see that, they dont realize theres an fxm, c5.. like so many weapons u can use

[grizzled whale]

are you running C5's?

[heavy sleet]

yep but i cant even get to the vehicles

cause my teammates are braindead and just going for kills instead of focusing on vehicles / objective

[arctic grove]

Throw landmines

@heavy sleet what platform do you play on

[heavy sleet]

pc

crossplay is on, all my teammates play like ai's but arent ai's.....

[arctic grove]

Yeah I've played a few matches were the blueberry on my team have very odd play styles. Figured they're all new

[heavy sleet]

this timezone has all the low iq players for some reason

[arctic grove]

are there any lock-on launchers?

[heavy sleet]

yes the fxm

[arctic grove]

There is a stinger the fxn and the m5 locks on when soflam is used with it

why do my settings always reset whenever i launch the game?

ive had to play minecraft 20 times and set it back to an actually comprehensible resolution

i have the whole .exe exclusion on for the game but its just resetting every time

[lyric lance]

Im confused, are you talking about Minecraft or 2042?

[grizzled whale]

Dont be sad, thats just how it works out some times

[arctic grove]

ah yes, perfect

[arctic grove]

2042, i meant it launched at resolutions that make the game look like minecraft

no joke, couldn't read anything, literally 800x600

[lyric lance]

Oh my bad I missed that.

To fix that problem, go to your Documents/Battlefield 2042/settings and edit PROFSAVE_profile

Specifically edit
GstRender.ResolutionHeight
GstRender.ResolutionWidth

to your monitor's resolution.

To keep your settings from resetting, set the file to "Read-only". Tho keep in mind that you cannot change your settings unless you unset read-only.

[arctic grove]

yeah no it's fine, i had the ea play trial, im gonna uninstall and go back to bf1, i get 120 fps on high settings there whereas 2042 gets me a max of 30 fps during gunfights at lowest settings

not to mention there is no way to get into gunfights without getting blasted from existence by a helicopter because there's no cover anywhere between objectives and sometimes even on the objectives

but hey, i hope you have fun with the game, to each his own as people like to say

[lyric lance]

Yeah tell me about it lmao. I don't like the game that much either but anyways I try to help people with common issues with 2042.

[plush coyote]

I haven't asked for a while but has there been any improvements apart from a scoreboard?

[analog fractal]

No

[plush coyote]

cool

[spark ore]

We need better destruction

Like bf4

[heady condor]

I was wondering what's the number for active players on 2042 right now.

[pseudo forum]

Dx

[pseudo forum]

Just play bf4 pepega

[heady condor]

I guess 200 people watching it on twitch in total should be a good indicator?

[analog fractal]

I'm glad they added the scoreboard, dont get me wrong.... but theres like a dozen other things more important than that they could've done short term-wise to revitalize and improve the game

like just adding the non-WWII portal guns to the main modes

[torpid shuttle]

Only Steam: https://steamcharts.com/app/1517290

All platform in 150 countries (Maybe): https://howmanyplay.com/how-many-players-in-battlefield-2042/

[heady condor]

Thanks

[fringe bobcat]

Totally agree with this , you should be able to use modern with some older weapons to on AOW modes , potentially create skins for the portal weapons to maybe which could be unlocked in seasons or challenges

[analog fractal]

the portal guns feels so underutilized atm is all, the ak74u, g3a3, as val, m60, spas-12, gol sniper etc are way better than most AOW 2042 guns imo

but they're all essentially locked behind separate modes that are dead because of no full XP gains

they all fit the AOW modes thematically, so i dont get it

[fringe bobcat]

Yh I agree the portal weapons gameplay seems to surpass the 2042 weapons currently , if they incorporated those into AOW maybe added some skins or challenges with them would be a good addition as well as new weapons to

[analog fractal]

its just funny to me that portal actually has more unique guns than AOW 2042 atm

its been 5 months since release, if you havent gotten your refund yet, just get over it

[lethal hemlock]

Not sure anyone here can offer you a refund maybe check the proper place

Does flint lock count as older weapons

[analog fractal]

flint locks don't even use ammunition, so yes

[rotund igloo]

anyone got hopes that they will soft launch the game again in a much better state. like with more gritty-ness and overall a better experience like previous titles?

[desert elbow]

I hope so but it’d probably take a while

[shy latch]

I think everyone is hoping, with April update maybe we will see a lot of bug fixing and balancing; the problem is about they will release also VOIP and EoR scoreboard just because community want them and don't let the devs concentrate/working on the real actual problems

[arctic grove]

Voip is a real problem

[shy latch]

is not

[arctic grove]

@shy latch not being able to communicate with your cross platform friends is

It is a squad base game and all we aren't a hero shooter just yet

[shy latch]

there is discord, it works great to communicate with cross platform friends

[arctic grove]

@shy latch discord on phone while playing ps4 to talk to your pc friends?

Day of launch Xbox friend joins squad. No one can talk. They logoff haven't came back since

[shy latch]

yes, there is a guy in my community discord playing Warzone on ps4 and playing with other guys from pc while he's connected on discord voice channel

[fast pagoda]

Damn

[arctic grove]

It's pretty fucking stupid people think voip isn't an issue

[fast pagoda]

Yeah

[shy latch]

talking on discord through the phone while cross-playing with somebody else isn't something of impossible, I agree isn't the most comfortable thing in the world, but surely isn't impossible

[arctic grove]

Your friend is using the ps4 web browser to load discord

Or linking it via phone which is many steps to take rather than using I game voip

[shy latch]

nope, he said cannot talk from ps4 with discord web browser, that's why he's using the smartphone

[arctic grove]

All this time spent on discord debating. Why not make concept arts or well documented ideas for them (dice) to implement to revive bf2042

So your telling me in order to talk to my friend while playing 2042 I need to use my cellphone

That's some advanced tech

I agree there are bigger issues but voip imo is a big one too

[analog fractal]

The actual game design of 2042 is the real issue

[arctic grove]

Heh

[analog fractal]

The map design, too little content (guns and maps), the specialist system, the movement mechanics from BFV that are absent etc

And ofc the bugs, but that's a given

[jovial minnow]

seriously its a missed opportunity not to have Levolution back, what's keeping you all from readding it? limited environmental destruction in BF1 and BFV is fine because mostly the maps are open ended, behaves like BF3 and works well with the tight corridors of most maps in it, in 2042, the grassfield and concrete maps is an eyesore and boring

[arctic grove]

There is a game on steam called Bigfield 2042

[shy latch]

yes, as I told you before: I agree isn't the most comfortable thing in the world, but surely isn't impossible

[uncut girder]

We need a working fucking game that isnt made by dumbasses who arent passionate about battlefield

2042 is dogshit, literal steaming shit. I wouldnt be surprised if it kills the franchise entirely.

[compact sleet]

It’s actually so annoying like how do you even consider reaping a game without VOIP

[shy latch]

some concept arts and and documented ideas are already in #948574259209437264 for the maps only atm, I will happy to partecipate on other topics when they'll open

[arctic grove]

I don't know I don't get it

It's just another left out feature to isolate people from each other

[uncut girder]

I think we gotta just

Stop buying dice's steaming piles of shit until they bring in the people back who actually cared for the fucking franchise

Fucking insurgency sandstorm has more players than this pile of shit

[shy latch]

I disagree, everyone has the right to do whatever they want with their own money

[arctic grove]

If Bf2042 had some of the sandstorm game modes that would be dope. Or some of the old modes like capture the flag.

[uncut girder]

You arent a real fucking battlefield fan.

[frail sparrow]

lolmao the glitch where you can't ads after a vehicle still exists in 2042?

[uncut girder]

You just stand for this shit and blindly support EA scamming us and tarnishing the fucking franchise.

[shy latch]

are you sure about it?

[arctic grove]

@frail sparrow yes

[frail sparrow]

dice pls

[uncut girder]

100% sure. No real battlefield fan would support what EA is doing.

You probably came from fucking warzone. Get outta here.

[shy latch]

lol, that's a proof you don't know me at all

[arctic grove]

I support evolution in a gane but isolating people takes away the bf experience

Soooo, servers are dead

Took 20 mins to load into a solo game in the EU 😂😂😂

That's the meta

Your isolated, time to play

[shy latch]

and by the way @uncut girder I'm not supporting what EA is doing but surely attacking DICE as game developers about 2042 is not fair as well even tho they're trying to make the community happy even if the main problem of the game is not a scoreboard or stuff like that

[frail sparrow]

how they were operating before the holidays was happy time, having the biggest update being a scoreboard after holidays and the next one being voip is not happy time

also, they need to stop using live service as an earlyacces/bugfixing service and focus on content. for feck sake, vanguard is already well inits season 2 while bf2042 cant even be bothered to start their first season xd

fixing shit and polishing main features should NOT be the main updates.

i'd expect that from an early access game i pay 20/30 bucks for. not a 60/90/120 dollar full release game

[flat tusk]

I hope all your money goes to training the devs on how to operate the frostbite engine properly

[next onyx]

Welcome to the gaming industry in the 2020's.

[shy latch]

if devs don't fix stuff then people will continue to complain that the game is "still in beta"

[next onyx]

I know that they have a lot of stuff backlogged for fixing.

Knowing the state they're in right now they probably want to make sure it's actually fixed.

[thick pecan]

Guys

Have you heard of world 3

[shy latch]

I agree that season is an important part and originally they said will be released on March but then they post-pone it in summer for a reason

[thick pecan]

It's a fps game

[shy latch]

yup, I'm waiting for open-beta release @thick pecan

[thick pecan]

And for new factions

I love SAS

Man I really should buy battlefield

[uncut girder]

Are there any actual devs in this server

[shy latch]

probably, and I hope so; surely I don't expect for a miracle but at least some fixes

[uncut girder]

Les fucking pull them up on their shit

[shy latch]

I don't think that this is a civil behavior

[thick pecan]

Does someone love 2042

[shy latch]

I don't love it but I enjoy playing it

especially with my friends when we organize privates FFA or TDMs

[thick pecan]

For me I love if

It*

[shy latch]

for me it's hard to say which chapter I love

[thick pecan]

But I hate free trial on ea play when I have gamepass

When I play bf 2042

[shy latch]

I mean, BF1 and BFV are georgous from environment and feeling point of view, BF3 was a big discover for me thanks to a friend of mine, BF4 I played it for almost 5 years

[shy latch]

if I'm not wrong it's discounted right now on Origin

[thick pecan]

Ooh how much O-O

[shy latch]

not sure, let me check

[thick pecan]

Ok!

[shy latch]

29,99€

I'm talking about the standard edition of course

[thick pecan]

Steam or origin

[shy latch]

Origin

[thick pecan]

Oh

Cuz I buyed ww3 on steam

And I played it

[shy latch]

well, in any case you need to have Origin account even if you buy on Steam or Epic

[thick pecan]

Do you think that bf3 is better than 2042

[shy latch]

well, they are different with different mechanics, I'm not even sure if there are still alive server for BF3 because it's a 10 years old videogame

[thick pecan]

Yea

Bf 3 have a mod called Venice unleashed

[shy latch]

I'm unaware about it, I played BF3 on ps3 so no mods

[thick pecan]

Only mods for pc

Have you heard of helluva boss?

[arctic grove]

You guys play that STHell yet

[thick pecan]

Wdym

[lethal hemlock]

Just ran into a level 206... looks like 200 is no longer the goal :)

[jovial quest]

Yuh I see a level 200 everyday
