battlefield-2042

[arctic grove]

right?

[shy latch]

they can't, i like the modern war enviroment, even tho i liked BFV I don't want to play with old guns again

[violet inlet]

Even if there are more players on consoles, if you compare it to every other battlefield its still a failure

[upbeat sand]

BF1, BF4, BF3 (mabye), BFV, WW3 beta

[arctic grove]

the game has been a lost cause ever since the beta

[arctic grove]

the game doesnt even break the top 50 on xbox and this guy is talking about millions of players LMAO

[violet inlet]

Im sure some people like the game (dk how) and want it to succeed though

[cosmic pike]

@frank rain i wouldnt call this a battlefield game 🙂

[shy latch]

but still I prefer the modern war enviroment instead of going back to BFV, and actually I don't see other alternatives around similar to bf

[arctic grove]

i already foresaw the absolute failure of this magnitude during the beta

[violet inlet]

I just wanted a modern bfv

[arctic grove]

yet people still defended dice because its a BeTa, its a fucking demo of the final game

[violet inlet]

Beta actually ran better than the final game for me lmao

[arctic grove]

"3 month old build", the best quote of them all

[unborn meteor]

Did they fix 2042 yet?

[hardy leaf]

its the final game

[arctic grove]

the beta was an absolute catastrophe and a disgrace to all battlefield players, so was the final game

[hardy leaf]

yes they did, its now the best game ever

[violet inlet]

Barely any updates 5 months in. Game seems identical to how it was at launch

[quartz fulcrum]

I am 23 years old and I am living in Korea

[arctic grove]

they are taking 6 months for 1 or 2 minor map "reworks" and a season with less content than a fucking desert

[quartz fulcrum]

hahahahahaha

[arctic grove]

worst drought in history

[shy latch]

we were discussing about few minutes before about it: if the playerbase did let DICE concetrate to fix real problems instead of breaking the balls about an overall scoreboard and voip, maybe was already fixed

[violet inlet]

Honestly, i would just hold all the content back and in a year try to rebrand and label it as a battlefield 2042 2.0

[arctic grove]

lol the game was flawed to the core and from its inception

[violet inlet]

These minor updates are just embarassing and it isnt drawing anyone back

[arctic grove]

even if they fixed all the bugs that exist, the game would play like ass

[shy latch]

that's a personal taste

[violet inlet]

Exactly, it needs to be completely reworked

[arctic grove]

from the ground up

[shy latch]

you guys are missing the classes?

[arctic grove]

who doesnt?

[plush coyote]

this game might do a no mans sky and turn out to be half decent

[hardy leaf]

the hell you even talking about, scoreboard and voip arent that big of an additions to hamper the real game problems lol its such a basic thing

its like someone saying if i didnt had to brush my teeth twice a day i would have become a millionaire already

[shy latch]

for me specialist are not so bad as I thought last summer

[candid dawn]

it might be a bad game, but ar least it has a lot of content, right? Right?

[arctic grove]

the difference is that hello games was (and still is) passionate about no man's sky and decided to revamp the game from the ground up

[grizzled whale]

except brushing your teeth costs you 2 minutes, and making a scoreboard (with 5 very minor bugfixes) cost them 4 months

[arctic grove]

which is why no man's sky is a good game today, the devs actually care about the game they made

[hardy leaf]

thats on them, it shouldnt take this long

[grizzled whale]

but it did, so your point makes no sense

[arctic grove]

pong had a scoreboard

[violet inlet]

If you like the game bro thats fine, dont let people bully you. Personally i felt like all the changes pushed it away from feeling like battlefield and made the game seem kinda generic compared to previous entries

[hardy leaf]

it does make sense but you keep coping hard

[grizzled whale]

if it took them 4 months to make a scoreboard, it would be 4 months of time for bugfixes instead of a scoreboard

[shy latch]

but scoreboard and voip doesn't fix the bug nor balance the weapons/vehicles nor optimize the game on client/server side

[arctic grove]

you can like what you want, but dont ignore the games obvious issues and be disingenous about dices utter incompetence

[hardy leaf]

so blame scoreboard and voip for bf2042 failure?

[grizzled whale]

blame EA

[shy latch]

I'm not bullying anyone

[arctic grove]

i think this has to be the worst game launch and live service in recent history?

[woven acorn]

Coming back to this channel since the game released and it's like it's frozen in time, everyone still talking about the same issues

[violet inlet]

You misunderstood what i said. I thought you were saying you liked bf2042 and i was saying its fine if you like the game

[hardy leaf]

yeah pretty much

[shy latch]

nope, I blame everyone who wanted DICE to prioritize scoreboard and voip

[fringe frigate]

👍

[hardy leaf]

lmfao no one wanted DICE to prioritize anything, it was part of the big changes everyone wanted and DICE was only able to work on these two issues, its on them

[jagged snow]

Multiplayer fps without a Scoreboard

[violet inlet]

If they cant fix voip or scoreboard, how are they going to fix the rest of the game though

[grizzled whale]

it had a scoreboard since launch

[arctic grove]

you know nobody would pressure dice so much to create a scoreboard and patch in voip if dice actually made a good game with those essentials (like every other shooter ever made)

[grizzled whale]

just not a good one

[arctic grove]

thats not a scoreboard

[shy latch]

oh yeah sorry I misunderstood, I red your message too fast and I completely misudernstand your first sentence

[hardy leaf]

these guys think if they didnt work on scoreboard and voip, the game would have been fixed already, my eyes bleed reading stuff like this by people who have injected hard copium

[grizzled whale]

yes it is

[jagged snow]

Yea that was some giga brain design

[woven acorn]

To be fair, i can count the number of times I've checked a scoreboard in a fps game on one hand. Still weird though that it's not just a default feature

[arctic grove]

thats a squadboard and a nameboard

[grizzled whale]

its a board with scores on it

[arctic grove]

doesnt make it a proper scoreboard

[grizzled whale]

its a scoreboard none the less

[arctic grove]

its not

[violet inlet]

Honestly scoreboard sucked but i think it was the least of the games issues

[grizzled whale]

board with scores on it = scoreboard

[arctic grove]

its a personal board with glyphs and some random squads written below it

[woven acorn]

The lack of scoreboard and voice chat are just two pieces of a bigger puzzle that illustrate how behind dice were with development. The lack of campaign, coop, poor map design etc are all other pieces to the puzzle

[hardy leaf]

in 2000 hours of my r6 siege experience, i have checked scoreboard like atleast 10k times i think and due to VOIP i found a lot of friends , dont know why some people think scoreboard and VOIP shouldnt be given importance in a multiplayer game lol

[grizzled whale]

its a board that shows your score, and the top 10 squad scores = scoreboard

[violet inlet]

Yea, but im suprised people complained about the scoreboard more than the actual game

[shy latch]

so is it justify to let prioritize them instead of prioritize other more important things?

[arctic grove]

even if they focused on other things, they would fuck the game up even more

[shy latch]

doesn't make sense

[jagged snow]

Dice incompetence continues

[hardy leaf]

because it was such a basic thing to have, its like a sports bike without button start in 2022

[arctic grove]

you are right, it doesnt because its dice

they make the possible impossible and the impossible possible

[woven acorn]

R6 is a highly competitive game so I can understand scoreboard checking - you're rarely playing r6 just for the shiz and giggles. Usually I am not playing FPS games competitively so scoreboards mean nothing to me, I play for the moment to moment, once the games over I move on to the next.

Lack of voice chat is inexcusable for obvious reasons, I don't know why people defend the lack of voice chat either

[jagged snow]

I am hear to enjoy the next patch meltdown.
Hope it's atleast half decent.

[arctic grove]

NoBoDy UsEs VoIcE cHaT iN bAtTlEfIeLd!!!

[shy latch]

ok....so is impossible for dice to fix the bug, what about the december updates?

[grizzled whale]

they really dont

[hardy leaf]

they prioritized what they wanted to prioritize, fans pointed out tons of things that needed improving and scoreboard and voip was something they could have done in shortest possible period so they prioritized that

[arctic grove]

ok cool and why remove voice chat?

[hardy leaf]

but ended up taking months which is a big F

[grizzled whale]

they didnt remove it, they never added it

[violet inlet]

The game is meant to be crossplatform. How do you talk to your xbox buddies on playstation without voip?

[arctic grove]

obviously the dice whiteknighters will tell you to use discord hahahaha

[plush coyote]

cup and string...

[shy latch]

I always disable it, even when I passed to PC I thought everyone used Discord so I didn't disable it, but I was wrong and I had to disable on PC also

[violet inlet]

Wish i knew how to react on mobile lol thay was pretty funny

[woven acorn]

It's a minefield to juggle what takes priority. They do one thing and upset another group. They have limited resources and people at their disposal so they do what they can. Not defending their conduct but I can see how it's almost a lose lose situation for them

[arctic grove]

look i dont use voice chat either because im on pc, but my god at least include it for the people who play with cross-platform buddies

[woven acorn]

I'd argue I use voice chat the most when I'm on pc vs console

[arctic grove]

what harm will having voice chat in the game do?

it will probably cause the game to constantly crash and set ea's servers on fire

[violet inlet]

Mics are super common on console due to no text chat or discord. I find on pc alot of people keep to themselves.

[hardy leaf]

it will hurt snowflakes when somebody goes mad on them on VC

[woven acorn]

You never used VC to communicate with randoms in game? Had some of the best moments in other games where random players have pulled together and United over VC and had a laugh. I prefer meeting strangers to regular discord hangouts

[arctic grove]

you would be surprised to know how many people on console dont know discord exists

and they have no reason to use discord either

discord is not a prerequisite nor is it a substitute for a fucking basic feature like in-game voip

[violet inlet]

Discord is a pain when your on console, you need like a headset for the game and a headset for your phone or laptop lol. Discord isnt viable on console

[shy latch]

if you check what I wrote 30 minutes ago or so, you can read my reasons why I disabled it (after being tired of muting people)

[woven acorn]

I know a lot of people game with specific groups, and those groups stick to discord, but personally I've found it way more exciting to come across randoms via in-game vc. Games like 'holdfast: nations at war' have hilarious proximity based vc, across 100 players too

[arctic grove]

proximity vc is the best

[woven acorn]

I only joined the conversation about 10 minutes ago, I'll pass on that scroll quest thanks

[violet inlet]

Hell let loose is pretty much required to use a mic. One of my favourite games

[arctic grove]

so the argument of voip being "unnecessary" and thus justifying its removal from the game is utterly flawed and is a testament to peoples idiocy

[woven acorn]

Yeah another great example. A lot of survival games use it too like day z and 7 days to die I believe? It's a load of fun. I guess super competitive/ serious players don't see the fun side to it though. Might get annoying for them

[pine roost]

If hazard zone had voice chat it might have lasted about 20 minutes longer before dying

[arctic grove]

im competitive and i like proximity vc

its really a lot of fun and quite funny

[woven acorn]

I love it, there's no excuse not to include it imo

Why wouldn't you want players to communicate more effectively?

[shy latch]

@woven acorn

[arctic grove]

other than laziness, incompetence and cutting corners where they dont need to be cut

[woven acorn]

Thanks

[pine roost]

Isn’t this next update supposed to bring voice chat?

[solar minnow]

It still baffles me how poor the communication is in this game when it’s team based.

[woven acorn]

Holdfast: Nations at war has hilarious moments where you walking along the trenches and you'll come across some mad man who's elected himself leader of the army and he's trying to rally the troops over VC. Hilarious memories

[arctic grove]

they will probably break 20 other things in the game

[brave minnow]

Any update about the patch coming to early april?

[grizzled whale]

yes

[pine roost]

Honestly the bugs that come with updates are the most interesting parts

[brave minnow]

It was delayed right?

[woven acorn]

It's lost its way sadly. If they aim to make the game more in line with bf3 and BF4 then they can't go wrong really. Funny that we're having to remind the company to look back at their own games

[grizzled whale]

37

[solar minnow]

Where’s the CTE?

[shy latch]

voip can be a nice to have, but still: it doesn't fix the game so for that reason isn't something that is necessary, but people preferred to let DICE prioritize it (together with the overall scoreboard)

[brave minnow]

???

[grizzled whale]

[brave minnow]

Positive!

[solar minnow]

It’s no where near those games.. sadly

[brave minnow]

😂

[solar minnow]

This game needs CTE bad. Like bf4 had.

[plush coyote]

this game needs the bin

[woven acorn]

VoIP and scoreboard are not critical no, but when the game first came out they were the instant and easy things to point out which is why I believe they came to the surface so quickly.

Now that we've all had time to play the game it's only now that the more important, core issues are being talked about by nearly everyone (map design, immersion related topics) but sadly those earlier issues have already taken priority and have already been allocated development time. The other issues will have to wait their turn now. Thankfully they've already published development updates to say they're working on maps etc

[solar minnow]

They had to have those cause battlefield is a competitive team base shooter. VOIP and the Scoreboard are the fundamentals to franchise. Without them it’s just a mess of unmotivated players.

[shy latch]

tbh I'm unmotivated when the match ends and I'm the mvp with only 4 revives

but again as I said few days ago: at this point I hope the next patch will include the voip and the eor scoreboard only and nothing else

so if the community is happy with those, it means there is something wrong with the playerbase; if not happy it means the community contradicts itself

[buoyant remnant]

they need to do literally anything to bring the players back imo, all these suggestions won't be able to do much unless they start making large enough changes to get peoples attention again

its just really sad to see people jump ship in the numbers that have been happening

like maaaan, 1166 active on steam? jesusssss

[pine roost]

It’s quite funny that basically everything they’ve ever scheduled has been delayed

[solar minnow]

It’s basically bfv all over again but worse…

[silk jasper]

is the april update delayed

can someone confirm

[solar minnow]

Probably

[arctic grove]

April 14th is still technically early, I guess??

[solar minnow]

Cant confirm cant no one from dice has said anything

14th is mid April

[arctic grove]

That’s 15th

[solar minnow]

10-20 is mid

1-10 is early

[woven acorn]

In a way though it's quite reassuring seeing people stick to their guns and not give a sub-par game the time of day

[woven acorn]

It's been nice revisiting bf3 and bf4. Thats been the silver lining all of this, being able to appreciate the older games. Still a shame that they dropped the ball with 2042 though

[solar minnow]

It’s pretty easy to see that the game was suppose to be something totally different than a classic battlefield..

[woven acorn]

For the devs sake though I hope it all turns around quickly, must be rough seeing people talk negatively about your game every day. Hope they've got some people in the team that keeps everyone in high spirits

[solar minnow]

I think so. One the devs working on guns was in here talking about what guns people want to see.

FAMAS kept coming up.

[woven acorn]

Heck yeah

[woven acorn]

M16? Or is that already in there? Honestly haven't played the game in months. M4 Enfield or whatever it was called would be nice too.

I just miss the heavy, thunderous sounds the guns made in the older games. The soft yet punchy sound the suppressed/sub machine guns made were also really nice in those games

Bf3 was peak gunplay and sound design imo

[solar minnow]

Nah, nothing with M16… he also mentioned the HK16

Also bullpup shotgun.

[pine jewel]

I miss the war feeling of bf4
in bf4 you knew you are on a battlefield, everything was so grim, you really experienced the atmosphere of a battlefield + more destruction was available
it seems with every battlefield they release they take a step back in terms of destruction

also would be nice if they could add more attachment slots and balance some of the ammo attachments

like why cant I have both, laser and grip

should have just done bf4 attachment system with some more slots

[jovial minnow]

uhh uhhh uhhhm

[pine jewel]

also it kinda sucks I cant choose my camo inside a match like in bf4
so I am able to adapt to the environment

[shy latch]

BFV had plenty destructions, maybe even more compared to BF4

[shy latch]

not sure but maybe that is part of April update, surely there is a review of the attachments

[pine jewel]

cant tell, didnt play bfv
was not a big fan of ww1 or ww2
though in bfbc2 it was insane on some maps

you could flaten complete maps in bfbc2 was so cool

in the end your only cover was either a tank or hiding in the bush

[shy latch]

I didnt' play bfbc2 instead, I started from bf3 😅

[pine jewel]

didnt play bf3 xD
I played bfbc2 and bf4
and of course 2042

[shy latch]

I would like they will introduce some experimental weapon like the Rail Gun from BF4 Final Stand DLC 😏

[pine jewel]

would be dope ye

[cinder elbow]

Is there any upcoming update

[shy latch]

yes, but no news about the release date until now

[compact sleet]

I’m pre sure you can…. Cause if you are like spawned in and pause the game you can view your operators and weapons and stuff and change the attachments. I know changing the attachments works for next spawn so changing skins should also work

[pine jewel]

changing skin doesnt work
tried it

[compact sleet]

Damn too bad. Your right tho there should be a way to switch those things in game

[unique marten]

Thoughts on BF1

[compact sleet]

Never played

[mossy badge]

u never played BF1 ?

[radiant prism]

Good atmosphere, but ultimately overrated. Game's plagued with major balancing issues IMO.

[compact sleet]

No

Is that bad?

[mossy badge]

no u just missing battlefield game with the best atmosphere

nothing else

[compact sleet]

Meh. I have bfv

[tough sonnet]

i think in the april update they will change what the attachment bonuses say, so it's not just 3 different compensators that all say "+ vertical recoil control"

[mossy badge]

BFV atmosphere isnt bad but BF1 is at another level

[tough sonnet]

probably wont be new attachment slots or any new attachments at all but it's something

[radiant prism]

Yeah, the plus system is gonna restrict things to 4 attachment slots

Which if you ask me isn't terrible, that's on par with BF4

[tough sonnet]

i really wish we could change barrels or stocks instead of muzzles

[radiant prism]

I mean most weapons have barrel changes

[river trench]

So when is the "few hundred changes" ?

[tough sonnet]

i kinda worded that wrong, i meant more significant changes instead of having most of the barrels just be muzzle attachments

more weapons should have different barrel lengths and so on

[radiant prism]

I change barrel lengths all the time

But the ROF differences are pretty major from barrel changes

Like the short barrel LCMG turns it into a close-quarter powerhouse

Same goes for the M5A3

[shy latch]

me too, changing attachments change also the behavior of a weapon for close combats or long range

and the M5A3 is a very good example

[tough sonnet]

m5 9mm with long barrel has always worked best for me

[radiant prism]

M5 9mm short barrel shreds up close

[slate snow]

Apparently player count dropped below 1000

[unique marten]

BF1 is the best game ive played in long time i still play

[slate snow]

Interesting

[thorn helm]

do you think Dice will fix more bugs and update Battlefuture 4

[slate snow]

No

[shy latch]

what they gonna do instead?

[slate snow]

Nothing

[shy latch]

right....

[slate snow]

It’s true

[glossy storm]

Apparently, Update 3.3 got delayed.

According to Battlefield Bulletin on Twitter.

[shy latch]

what? 🤔

[glossy storm]

Fucking autocorrect.

[shy latch]

3.3 is march update

[glossy storm]

I mean, the next update... Sorry.

[thorn helm]

https://tenor.com/view/chinanumberone-yes-china-hi-ok-gif-13432128

[slate snow]

Is anybody even working on this game

[thorn helm]

lol

[hardy leaf]

i think more experienced devs working on the new game and left this mess for the trainees and rookies for their R&D

[slate snow]

💯

[arctic grove]

They are “writing the patch notes now” according to DRUNKZ Twitter. DICE is an utter embarrassment of a studio

[edgy oriole]

who drunks

[thorn helm]

all Dice needs to do is talk with superpower EA/Origin sneaky download then copy warthunder physics paste onto Battlefuture 4 or buy AEG/Airsoft weapons company and patent ther own...

[arctic grove]

One of the devs

[radiant prism]

How is that a bad thing??

[arctic grove]

His Twitter handle is Florian-DRUNKZ3

[edgy oriole]

oh cool then it comes out the 14th then

[arctic grove]

“eARly ApRiL”

[edgy oriole]

1-14 is still early april

[radiant prism]

Its still early april, by my watch lmao

[next onyx]

Not even halfway yet.

[arctic grove]

I bet it won’t be ready by “tHe 14”

[edgy oriole]

if they planned on releasing the patch the first week of april they wouldve said first week of april

[radiant prism]

An extra week or so is not egregious, especially considering the nature of development. Things change, timelines are often hard to predict

[thorn helm]

4/12/2022

[next onyx]

If it's not ready it's not ready.

[edgy oriole]

itll drop thursday the 14th like the other updates.

[shy latch]

completely agree with this

[slate snow]

Where’s the battle pass they even promised

[next onyx]

Season 1.

[slate snow]

Sad

[thorn helm]

why did all my settings reset in 2042 random?

[arctic grove]

You 3 will probably be the ones massively disappointed when it gets pushed back a month

[tribal obsidian]

That's a common bug, yeah

[slate snow]

Lmao

[radiant prism]

Also 👀

[edgy oriole]

im not gonna be disappointed at all. lmao

[shy latch]

are you on pc or console?

[next onyx]

Not the fan of 3d spotting rounds.

[thorn helm]

PC

[next onyx]

Thermals though are fine, though I don't understand why people are against them when your own eyes do just as well.

[slate snow]

This game still has so much potential

[thorn helm]

does anyoneknowif it'll be IRNV

[edgy oriole]

3d spot rounds on pkp. ez spotting

[next onyx]

We don't know.

[arctic grove]

Bro….

[radiant prism]

Yeah me neither, more excited about the thermal/night sights. Just because they're in the files doesn't mean they're guaranteed to come to the game anyways, or that we know the full balancing.

[next onyx]

FLIR and NRIV are pretty much the same night time sights.

3d spotting rounds might just be a thing for snipers.

[radiant prism]

Does that mean we'll be getting nighttime maps at some point?

[next onyx]

That kind of stuff,

Eh.

[slate snow]

It does

[tribal obsidian]

Manifest

[slate snow]

They are just so out of touch with the community lmao

[radiant prism]

Oof yeah true lol

[thorn helm]

imagine if they add 3D GPS IRNV Helmets

[next onyx]

He means to the extent of Zavod graveyard shift in which case eh.

[arctic grove]

Night map will be released in “eArLY 2042”

[shy latch]

ok, I suggest you to make a copy of the PROFSAVE_profile file so you don't need to set all your settings every time; then I discovered that forcing the HDR setting in that file to 0 it causes to me to reset the settings randomly (I don't know if that is a common cause or not)

[next onyx]

Night time narvik would have been cool.

[jovial quest]

Sounds really dumb

[jolly sleet]

https://twitter.com/DRUNKKZ3/status/1513784351275823107?t=eF8x1g02rFEq76bQYTsqqQ&s=19

[thorn helm]

yea I just redo itsometime thanks 👌

[jovial quest]

It’s is a way to access that through spectating a round of narvik

Looks way better

[next onyx]

There's also the thing to play Narvik in ops.

It looks really nice.

[jovial quest]

Yea

[thorn helm]

just so everyone knows IRNV Optics work better in bad weather conditions over FLIR

[radiant prism]

I'd love if we got night variants of the maps tbh

[thorn helm]

is this real

[radiant prism]

Yeah, check temporyal on twitter. Its datamined so its not guaranteed to come to the game, but they're in the files apparently.

[shy latch]

or a sunset/sunrise map like BF4 Dawnbreaker 🤤

[soft swallow]

Why new Battlefield community it's so annoying? A guy killed me whit an unbalanced gun and then he teabag at me

[grizzled whale]

shouldnt have died then

[jovial quest]

^

[radiant prism]

what gun

[soft swallow]

PKP

[radiant prism]

meh

I think people give the PKP too much credit

[next onyx]

PKP is fucking annoying.

[radiant prism]

its good but its not gamebreaking IMO

[grizzled whale]

the pkp CAN be really OP

but some people run the weirdest loadout which makes it kinda ass

[next onyx]

It's shit in the older update and now without as bad spread, It's essentially an M5a3 with a 200 belt drum. You can even skip the sprint out times with it.

[edgy oriole]

pkp = 200 round smg/sniper/assault rifle/lmg

[shy latch]

someones teabags for no reason; once I was shooting to a guy in front of me (and I killed him) but then a Boris shoot me from my left side, he teabaged me......why?

[radiant prism]

The only real benefit it has is the ammo capacity

[near silo]

So, it’s it possible to create a game mode that has like 6 rounds. Like presidential escort to other side of map for extraction. Hardcore, tactical

[grizzled whale]

Boris players are

[next onyx]

PP29 was obnoxious but it's nowhere near as bad as the PKP.

[edgy oriole]

prolly.

[arctic grove]

is bf2042 still receiving updates?

[rancid shore]

Hi can someone help me?
I'm trying to start battlefield 5 but it seems to crash every time

[soft swallow]

This month

[next onyx]

Just annoying that hey, This MG can laser you with such a fire rate 50 to 75M across.

[grizzled whale]

very slowly, but yes

[forest snow]

PKP is just a 200 round assault rifle it’s so broken that and the ac42 need tuning down a little

[next onyx]

Ac42 is bugged.

[grizzled whale]

and you go to the 2042 channel for that

[radiant prism]

One on the way very soon apparently, patch notes being written today

[arctic grove]

will it be good game soon

[next onyx]

You can skip the burst delay entirely.

But it's an alright gun.

[arctic grove]

i wanna get it but idk

[grizzled whale]

is there a burst delay?

[next onyx]

Usually yes but you can skip it entirely and run it like a full on 1200 RPM Assault rifle.

[grizzled whale]

how

[radiant prism]

Man, its almost like MMGs were a positive improvement that provided a balancing factor to LMGs

[soft swallow]

Oh yes T1 whit AK-24

[grizzled whale]

do Vcar next

[soft swallow]

There is someone that use that weapon?

[shy latch]

I tried to use it, I was almost near to buy a new mouse.....

[next onyx]

Just fire at the right time right after you fire and it's a free skip.

[soft swallow]

So broken

[shy latch]

best weapon ever: the Rail Gun

oh wait....

[grizzled whale]

its easy to use bro

[grizzled whale]

maybe

[vagrant girder]

PP

[radiant prism]

I don't have as good of a trigger finger on PC than I did on console

I wanna get back to using the VCAR but imma need to work on my click speed

[shy latch]

you have already unlocked the attachments, I didn't, maybe just 3 or 4 in total; and I almost destroyed my left mouse button with that weapon

[forest snow]

Working on getting my Ranger tier 1

[jolly sleet]

how does your game look so smooth, how many frames u get lmao

[grizzled whale]

100 ish

[forest snow]

Getting there got my first kill exploding the Ranger next to a sniper

[shy latch]

I always forget to use the ranger

[jolly sleet]

Sundance's anti armor grenade is getting a buff this update

that is good bc that thing is pretty weak lmao

[forest snow]

Tanks need a buff

Maybe even the attack helicopters

[radiant prism]

They do?

[sturdy prism]

Excuse me

[shy latch]

anger time

[forest snow]

Mean fuck the nightbird that thing can burn and die in hell but I never really get killed often by attack helicopters always see them exploding not long out the spawn

[radiant prism]

Nightbird is getting moved to the attack heli category, isn't it?

[sturdy prism]

Oh okay, phew.
I mean, when you unlock the 20mm cannon for the ka52, its pretty gud, the aiming is just shit

[soft swallow]

What the f**k

[forest snow]

It is and the anti infantry rockets nerfed

[forest snow]

Yea they seem a bit weak and hard to do anything with I tend to just blow them out the sky easy with MBT

I perma run a stinger or use the wildcat a lot cos of the night birds

[sturdy prism]

Cuz they fly low like dumbasses. In fact there are two types of attack heli players : the sky camper and the low flyer (the names are explicit)

[forest snow]

But then the hind or condor just destroy every vehicle on the map no problem

[sturdy prism]

Yeah with the 50mm cannon

[forest snow]

That needs to be swapped out

Give it a 30mm

[sturdy prism]

No, the 50mm might be very powerful but the grenade launcher is incredibly shit

[next onyx]

The grenade launcher has the damage but its velocity is just sad.

[forest snow]

50mm makes that thing wayyyy to powerful

[sturdy prism]

30mm on transport helis will just be a flying bolte

[forest snow]

I’m sure they said it’s been addressed anyway

[sturdy prism]

Yeah, the grenades fly as far as if they were thrown by hand

[forest snow]

Tanks need a trophy system like on 4

[radiant prism]

Honestly, if they put like dual .50 cal MGs on the nose with like a really high fire rate and light vehicle damage I feel like that could be cool

[forest snow]

I already use Irish’s system when using MBT on a flag

[sturdy prism]

Everything needs an improved system like this instead of "duh duh 4000 kills duh duh"

Nice censoring

Imma rewrite : sundace trash and impossible to farm

[next onyx]

Would be nice if the EMP part on infantry counted as assists.

[sturdy prism]

Dumb grenades lock heli on other side of map instead of tank right in front of me

[next onyx]

(And actually counted)

[forest snow]

Seen a lot of people tier 1 her I suspect abused the glitch with portal

[sturdy prism]

What glitch, tell me.

[radiant prism]

Honestly, I think the longer grind is good, makes T1 actually worth something

[jovial quest]

She ain’t that hard

[sturdy prism]

Not with sundance, her grenades are just smart'nt

[forest snow]

Was with portal and a zombie game mode people just stood on top of a tank and used sundances clusters to kill the AI

[radiant prism]

I mean just in general

[sturdy prism]

Tried it, didnt worked

[forest snow]

When the zombie game mode was on the featured game list?

[radiant prism]

Yeah, thats when a lot of people farmed a lot of T1s

I've only ever gotten T1s from MP though, I haven't done any farming

[forest snow]

Sundance is the only one I have left to do

[radiant prism]

Except on other players

[forest snow]

As it should be

[radiant prism]

I literally only have T1 on Dozer. I have a bunch of guns T1, but no other specialists lol

[grizzled whale]

proud to say none were done in zombie mode

[forest snow]

None of the weapon progression or specialist progression should work in co op or solo

Only multiplayer

[radiant prism]

Nice

[forest snow]

Just want to use my stg44 in AOW 😦

[grizzled whale]

dont let @olive lake see that

[radiant prism]

I've got all ARs and SMGs besides the PBX-45 and the M5A3 T1, and both LMGs. Kinda waffling on what to do next, might just focus on specialists for a while and going back and using guns I enjoyed using

[forest snow]

But battlefield is a multiplayer shooter not a PvE game

[grizzled whale]

i know, i agree

[radiant prism]

Well don't ping him over it lmao

[grizzled whale]

but he constantly complains that bots dont give the same progression

Good morning. BF2042 currently has 168 viewers on Twitch.

[edgy oriole]

[forest snow]

It’s a multiplayer game….. don’t how people can complain about that

[shy latch]

because people like to complain about everything

[grizzled whale]

i know

[flat brook]

I love battlefield 2042

[pulsar vine]

It’s fun with friends when it works

[burnt swan]

he probably has you blocked like majority of the people in here

dude blocks everyone who dont agree with him lmao

[grizzled whale]

which is everyone

[flat brook]

I think to me especially it’s one of the best battlefield games that have ever released and it’s only going to get better

[burnt swan]

its always the furries

[cedar turtle]

I've been saying this for years: Game of the Year

[pulsar vine]

Fair enough

[fringe bobcat]

Any news on the early April update ?

[solar minnow]

No

it's mid april now...

[wanton orbit]

mid april this year or next year?

[edgy oriole]

12+12=30 just in

[fringe bobcat]

Surely they can see some off the committed loyal players just want to be kept in the loop

[solar minnow]

loyal players are already leaving now

[cedar turtle]

Ask them politely to stay.

[hearty flame]

theyre working on patch notes apparently
https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/u1w8kr/soon_you_will_see_these_patchnotes/

funny how we have to go through a game dev and not a community manager to get any info

[solar minnow]

.....wow

[fringe bobcat]

Was that today ?

[solar minnow]

looks like it

[frosty mural]

The only t1 skin I have is the M5a3 lol

[solar minnow]

I wonder what the hundred fixes will be.

[hearty flame]

so patch next week?

[solar minnow]

probably

[frosty mural]

Technically, comm manager only spits out the info the devs have, so that's hearing it right from the source

[solar minnow]

They really have that big of a disconnect?

[edgy oriole]

[cedar turtle]

Maybe the comm manager was unable to connect to host?

[shy latch]

probably the majority of them will not even be written on the patch notes (assuming they achieved to fix few hundreds bugs) because there are some bugs that the end-user is not interested about and are related to coding and servers

[solar minnow]

Yeah, I know they stealth patch stuff all the time. They've admitted it in the past but at this point you might as well include them.

[shy latch]

if they will include everything, for me is like I'm gonna read the bible....it takes too long to be read

[solar minnow]

Honestly, I just look for the worse ones like the clipping through maps or the broken hit box in vehicles and the broken UI bugs. also I hope they fix the pixel count for distance player models. it's hard to see people from a distance cause of the lower pixel count.

[shy latch]

I don't, I use to read every single point of the patch notes

[solar minnow]

that crazy lol I just skim through it.

[shy latch]

and.....there are plenty of bugs, that's why before I was arguing about scoreboard an voip were not the priority

[lilac plinth]

hi everyone...there is anew delay on april update?

[grizzled whale]

@lilac plinth do you see anything new in #direct-communication

[lilac plinth]

u are very kind ...thank you so much for your suggestion

[solar minnow]

Feels like a double edge sword to be honest. Main features for a completive team based FPS are missing while bugs ruin the end users experience. The only way they can save the game (if possible) is by doing it all.

[hearty flame]

I always took the no scoreboard and voip complaint as to how barebones 2042 is

[solar minnow]

Scoreboard motivates players to do better but without it. It all kind of feels meaningless.

[hearty flame]

Lol dice probably had to crunch to finish the game, took a vacay, and now has to crunch to get the game up to speed

[solar minnow]

at this point double crunch is needed

[hearty flame]

Which causes more burnout and brain drain which makes things take longer and makes the next bf worse so they have to crunch to... It's a bad spiral lol

[flat tusk]

This community doesn’t have cms. last time one has posted anything in this discord is early January this year

[solar minnow]

EA needs the back off on them and give them way more time. The month delay was not enough and I'm sure if DICE was allowed more time I'm sure they would of taken it.

[hearty flame]

A dev(?) dropped by yesterday to hear weapon suggestions. Alex7

[radiant prism]

Because they never used this discord as a main feedback channel to begin with?

[solar minnow]

Facts

[radiant prism]

Alex is here fairly often yeah

[hearty flame]

From what I've heard about Andromeda and anthem ea is very hands off

[radiant prism]

Hes the lead weapon designer at DICE

[hearty flame]

Is he a dev? First I've really seen that. Nvm saw

[flat tusk]

Alex the only one who interacts, and he’s not even a cm

[solar minnow]

Not with development time though.

[flat tusk]

That’s right. They just think twitter is the only form of social platform everyone uses

[shy latch]

but because is impossible to do all on the same time there is a need to prioritize/queueing things, this is how everything works, in my country we say: you can't have the jar full of wine and the wife drunk

[hearty flame]

Lol what?anthem got 7 years of dev time

[hearty flame]

I think I've only seen the cms on Twitter or the low-sodium subreddit

[solar minnow]

That's because it was new IP. Pre-production on new IP's get more time.

[radiant prism]

Probably because those are the two most public places

Can't blame em for only using the low-sodium sub though. The main sub is toxic as shit

[grizzled whale]

god i hate it when people think they contribute to the team by camping in the glitch spot on renewal all match and pretend they are good

[hearty flame]

Lol did you read the schrier article on anthem dev? They dicked around for 5 years before someone at ea said the liked the flying so they made the game around that

[hearty flame]

The main sub was very happy until the game launched lol

[radiant prism]

Because everyone's expectations were through the roof and people were taking datamined shit as fact

Everyone expected the game to be the perfect battlefield, which, given the nature of the battlefield community, meant about 17 different games

[hearty flame]

Haha you gotta admit the marketing was great. Plus there was a lot of dice interaction before launch too

[grizzled whale]

great marketing for great game

[radiant prism]

Funny how a community sending death threats tends to cause devs to stop interacting

[solar minnow]

Yeah, I heard about that but EA is a massive company. one guy doesn't just reflect the hole company.

[hearty flame]

Didn't stop them from interacting during V though

[hearty flame]

Sure but as a company why meddle with studios that have shown their worth? Ea gave dice the rope and dice is hanging themselves with it

[radiant prism]

I mean, V had the same info/content drought for the first 6 or so months, the major interaction didn't start until things started looking up for the game around the time of the pacific expansion

[solar minnow]

because DICE messed up on V and EA was trying to play it safe by telling them to go with whatever is popular right. hence why the game feels like call of duty sorta...

[next onyx]

He is? I always thought he was under that branch not as lead.

[hearty flame]

There were still a decent amount of dice interactions on reddit during the drought

[radiant prism]

Oh. Maybe not lead then, I just know he works on weapons

[next onyx]

Yeah.

[radiant prism]

Not that I remember, but I could be remembering wrong

[next onyx]

I like giving him feedback.

[hearty flame]

I can believe that. Or dice proposed that to get more funding

[next onyx]

I dunno, Talking to a guy who specialises in it, giving your side is always nice.

[hearty flame]

Maybe for both of us. That's four years ago and I'm sure we had better things to remember

[radiant prism]

True lol

[solar minnow]

possible.

[ruby kelp]

Anyone else find it amazing that the most insight we get into Battlefield has come out in the past few days directly from devs? Seems like they're fed up with Stratford, Kevin, and partwelsch

[solar minnow]

I mean I'm not surprised. it's another reason why the community is falling apart.

[flat tusk]

Give Alex a raise. He does a better job than the current cms

[ruby kelp]

I wish my job was retweeting someone else posting a Friday night battlefield update and occasionally writing a summary of feedback.

[solar minnow]

I'm sure their PR team would have to approve it first though...

[merry lance]

[grizzled whale]

god i cant stand braindead teammates

heres me, solo capping the rooftops of kaleidoscope, asking squad mates to spawn on me and put a beacon down

[ruby kelp]

CM requirements for statements:

1. Thank people for their patience and empathize with them for the struggles that their team is directly causing. Change nothing.
2. Provide general outline of things to come without any solid deadlines or information so that they can't be held accountable or directly disappoint when they miss it.
3. Only release patch notes that are written by devs and then claimed as the CMs work. CMs add two lines at the top about NoPats.

[grizzled whale]

im out here surviving for 5 minutes on the point while people keep spawning there wanting to camp the elevators, and not a single time did a teammate spawn on me

No he doesn't

[ripe hedge]

Dude I'm the gruntiest of the grunts. Far from being lead.

[solar minnow]

well we appreciate you stopping by and talking to us.

[ripe hedge]

And I love reading it

[arctic grove]

EA f ups ever think command and conquer dead space battlefield 2042 they tried making it call of duty

[next onyx]

Alex!

[shy latch]

Alex, what about the Rail Gun (BF4 Final Stand DLC) into 2042? 😏

[pulsar vine]

A developer has been sighted how do you do

[arctic grove]

Tell your Bose evo scorpion smg lol

[ripe hedge]

[flat tusk]

But you’re literally in here interacting with the community ever other day while the cms last message here was early January

[ripe hedge]

How do you do fellow shooters 😎

[ripe hedge]

Yes! I absolutely love CZ weapons

[pulsar vine]

Just a genuine question Alex, in weapon design for 2042 has there been anything that you worked on (concept or potentially releasing) that has made you just fall in love with designing it?

[arctic grove]

New favourite dice employ thowe your the only one who’s ever talked to me so

[next onyx]

Modernised CZ3a1 would be cool to see.

Err.

[solar minnow]

the XM8 would be a good weapon

[next onyx]

Futurised.

XM8 is generally a cool looking weapon.

I'm a big fan of the XM8 LMG.

[solar minnow]

A lot of customization right there.

[ripe hedge]

Nothing that deep, but I pushed hard to make the AC-42 a burst rifle. I love bullpup designs and I wanted this one to be very different to the other rifles.

It is now my favorite weapon of the roster.

[next onyx]

Ahhhh so it could have acted like a Tavor???

Originally.

[pulsar vine]

Very awesome 😎

[ruby kelp]

@ripe hedge hey I'm new around here. Is there a chance to have attachment differentiation and clarity around stat differences?

[arctic grove]

A future SA80 would be good hun coff coff

[ripe hedge]

Kinda? Originally originally it was just a regular full auto I believe.

[lilac plinth]

hi @ripe hedge

[ripe hedge]

Yes, we are working on several improvements about this.

[ripe hedge]

[ruby kelp]

Yessss. It's so frustrating to have hidden stats when there is an HP number. Love playing games knowing arms are 18 damage, torso is 36, and head is 89 with normal ammo.

[pulsar vine]

@ripe hedge is there anything In season 1 you’ve worked on or seen in the works that you think fans will really enjoy?

I feel like a media outlet asking these questions

[grizzled whale]

He has been working exclusively on the handheld weaponised tuk tuk

[pulsar vine]

I think that would be awesome

[ripe hedge]

One weapon im particularly happy with

[pulsar vine]

Very awesome I’m really hoping the team on map design has something cool cooked up for us

[arctic grove]

You have said more about 2042 today then your bosses have in mouths good on you

[prisma anvil]

any umm.....slight hints? about the weapon i mean?

[lilac plinth]

i think the same

[ripe hedge]

But I have said nothing lol

[neat jay]

Welp

[ruby kelp]

I know we wouldn't get it here since it's gotta be cleared, but wouldn't transparency be asking a question like, Hey Alex, how many weapons are planned to come at the beginning of season 1? How many by the end? How many maps with the start of season 1? How many by the end?

[ripe hedge]

Oh I have a hint. "🤐"

[arctic grove]

You still talking to us good on you

[weary mauve]

Battle fiel

[frosty mural]

Don't think there's a disconnect, just designers and devs have more of the inside scope of what's happening since they're working on it, Comm managers just put it nicely to the real world but they can't just say, yes we're changing this or yes update is coming tomorrow then you hear a dev say "we messed up on a nade, there's a bug" need to push it out 3-4 days from now after testing. Then CM comes back to say hey, delay - they want to avoid that

[ruby kelp]

Doof doof

[lilac plinth]

ahahahahha

[frosty mural]

Nothing like the mk3a1 with frag rounds from BF3 🙂

Bipod knive c100 all I think of is battlefield friends

[solar minnow]

[ruby kelp]

C5 with drone attachment

[grizzled whale]

petition to ban YoEric for that

[prisma anvil]

and that drone is smaller than the regular drone we have currently

[ripe hedge]

Holy shit

[ruby kelp]

It fits perfectly under the C5, so all you see is the C5 coming at you

[hearty flame]

Gotta give tanks a cope cage attachment to counter those

[solar minnow]

just idea and it's a USSR weapon.

[small crater]

When are we going to have VOIP in a game that has the settings for VOIP and is a teambased game?

[hearty flame]

this month

[small crater]

Nice!

[ruby kelp]

The drone C5 is Angel only. Everytime just before it explodes, it has a speaker that says "ANGEL DOES IT AGAIN"

[hearty flame]

it automatically writes it in chat and is the only message that can be all-chatted

[solar minnow]

here's a quick summary of the TKB-059 "It was gas operated with a long recoil system in which the entire barrel, receiver and magazine assembly would recoil along the bullpup system. It fired at an astounding 1400-1800 rpm. It was surprisingly light at just shy of 4kg unloaded but was weight down by a 90 round magazine. It was also probably overcomplicated and unnecessary and primarily a proof of concept than anything else."

[hearty flame]

russia has a lot of interesting proof of concept weapons in the late 1900s

[solar minnow]

your telling me. When I first saw it fire it blew me away.

[ruby kelp]

You're not supposed to stand in front of it

[solar minnow]

you get the idea lol

[hearty flame]

ya like the tkb 022. funnily enough it made it into the cyberpunk 2077 world
Tula in general made a lot of interesting experimental weapons

[ruby kelp]

You all think that there is any chance this game moves lore away from Russia due to current events?

[hearty flame]

Nah dice loves their nopats. the setting is kinda built for them

[ruby kelp]

It's still loosely US vs Russia though right?

[solar minnow]

yeah they are both super powered countries so it makes sense to have them.

[grizzled whale]

just make flying c5 at that point

[prisma anvil]

[hearty flame]

using nopats as proxies so officially the us and russia arent involved...except for all the vehicles and ai soldiers they provide

[grizzled whale]

in a heavily protected area

if they start shelling from 57km away, you first gotta figure out where it came from, then get there and by that time it would be gone

[ruby kelp]

I miss grand operations so much. It's a shame they weren't as played when BF1 was in its prime. Each one had a little story explaining and connecting maps, and behemoths so epic.

[hexed mango]

https://c.tenor.com/2Fe5SPaoJRMAAAAM/spaghetti-charlie.gif

[crisp junco]

Anyway bf2042 kinda sucks compared to spaghetti

[shy latch]

everything sucks compared to spaghetti

except pizza

and Fiorentina

[fringe bobcat]

When do you think we will get the patch notes 📝?

[shy latch]

don't know, I hope at soonest

[forest snow]

prob friday then patch deploy on tuesday

like the last patch

[ruby kelp]

Tomorrow notes, patch Thursday

[forest snow]

very ambitious

[ruby kelp]

Since Thursday is the first half of the month, making it technically "early April"

[frosty mural]

Don't think Thursday, they don't do thursday patches because it's close to weekend, more like Notes by Thursday and patch Monday or Tuesday

[soft swallow]

...

True

[wide shore]

They always release Thursday

[frosty mural]

when did the Scoreboard patch come out?

[wide shore]

On a Thursday

[craggy marten]

Didn't they delay the update?

[ruby kelp]

Didn't they say somewhere that big patches were for Thursdays and smaller ones for Tuesdays?

[wide shore]

The last one, yeah. Not this one afaik

[soft swallow]

We don't know but I hope it will be released this week

[frosty mural]

It was on March 8th, a tuesday because they didn't want to release the thursday before

No-Pats,

Update #3.3 releases on Tuesday, March 8.

[craggy marten]

I ask since I believe I saw Battlefield Bulletin talk about how it got delayed unless i'm going insane and i'm just hallucinating.

[soft swallow]

Next update will be 3.4 or 4?

[ruby kelp]

BATTLEFIELD BULLETIN ISN'T DICE

[soft swallow]

Because version 3 broke the fuck

[winged stream]

0.3.4

[forest snow]

still plenty of time mean there a still 3 weeklys left in the game files we havent had yet

[wide shore]

3.2 released on January 20th, which was a Thursday

[grizzled whale]

They are making the patch notes today

[soft swallow]

When?

[wide shore]

Well, we know how long it takes them to make patch notes.

[frosty mural]

They said they're working on the patch notes, doesn't mean its ready for release today

[ruby kelp]

They've been compiling the patch notes for weeks now.

[winged stream]

🤣

[ruby kelp]

It took them two weeks to go through 80 pages of comments for the feedback loop and write 10 paragraphs. I need that kind of low productivity job.

[frosty mural]

You want them to field you a comment on every feedback?

[wide shore]

Wish I could be a BF CM

[forest snow]

really? you would be under so many NDAs

[wide shore]

I’m already under so many NDAs

[ruby kelp]

What? No, at most, they should have taken a week to go through it and should already have the next loop up.

[frosty mural]

Agree but don't think they care about giving a new loop when they haven't even pushed out this patch which in my opinion is one of the biggest ones since release.

[silk jasper]

Them? Plural? Probably just the one

[frosty mural]

Maps aren't even going through a change until S1 releases..

[wintry jasper]

which seems to me that DICE doesn't know what to do with the game, and probably won't be able to make it good enough for us to want to play it

[forest snow]

i would say the specialist changes are more needed then map changes

[ruby kelp]

Nah, it's probably the three CMs sitting in a zoom meeting getting the wording right for their feedback post.

[silk jasper]

This game fails so spectacularly at the so-called live service

[wide shore]

I disagree highly.

[silk jasper]

how can they even get away with this

[frosty mural]

They said specialists are to stay, even if we want them put into classes, don't think it'll change anything to be honest

[forest snow]

even putting them into the classic battlefield class system and give us the AI skins to use if we want to i would be more than happy with that.

[frosty mural]

it does suck to have to play as sundance and run around with repair tool and hope my anti armor grenade does something to a vehicle because the slot is taken and can't run m5 recoil

[crisp junco]

Im not too botheres by the specialists tbh
I find the maps and gunplay to be the most annoying

[ruby kelp]

They over promised and under produced, so they're not gonna get caught doing that again. Their solve to it is release no binding information and make sure the only info that comes out is exactly what will be in the patch, so they wait the day before so they aren't caught "lying".

[wide shore]

Maps and vehicle spam are the biggest issues to me. Wide open fields are a death sentence when the maps are plagued with boltes and nightbirds.

But at least one of those issues are being fixed next update.

[crisp junco]

Throws granade at tank
Locks onto helicopter 2km away

[forest snow]

im more hopeful for the next battlefield now with EA seeing the backlash and underperforming hugely for EA. New management and head of battlefield being very aware what the community want.

[frosty mural]

No bigger disappointment than throwing a nade at a 1HP tank right in front of you with it's barrel looking at your face and the nade just goes 506m away to a chopper that just pulled out from base lol

[golden hornet]

You got an update yet?

[frosty mural]

yes, no update 🙂

[golden hornet]

Yes?

[ruby kelp]

Only aerial vehicle spam bothered me since AA guns are useless with how often air has flares and the second shot no lock bug. Recoiless and c5 not being bound to two classes makes ground vehicles a joke if your team has half a brain.

[grizzled whale]

yes

[grizzled whale]

just use 57mm wildcat against air

[golden hornet]

Confused

[ruby kelp]

No, this is what they did with BF2042. Stop that.

[forest snow]

but V didnt have nearly the issues that 2042 did and V to some point did recover.

[crisp junco]

Honestly i havent bothered using anything else than a gustav in a while
I forgot what the other gadgets are

[frosty mural]

I think they need to put transport as the hind/condor, MAV, Recon, Hovercraft
Armored as Tank, AA and Bolte
Air as Chopper, Jet and nightbird but change nightbird as it was with bf4/bf3 (keep miniguns in slot 1) slot 2 will be Rockets, cannon or guided

[ruby kelp]

Isn't that pretty much what they're doing?

[frosty mural]

that whole reducing numbers on 128p is going to be so wack

they're chaning categories around but lowering the count and increasing spawn time

basically Good luck trying to get something

[ruby kelp]

Yeah that's basically it. 128 players means at any time, 64 people can be shooting vehicles. Less vehicles and a longer timer seems too much. Should pick one of the other.

[crisp junco]

I just want to have a truck without any weapons that would die to 1 at blast so you would have a basic, frequently spawnable transport

[frosty mural]

they have it around the maps lol? Tuktuck, electric pickups and quad bikes

[crisp junco]

But they arent common

[ruby kelp]

The main fix I hope to see is that at the start of the game, you can spawn in any vehicle with an open seat. There is no reason that they should have to go and pick players up.

[crisp junco]

I just want to call down a basic truck so i wouldnt have to run around a dessert without removing my ability to use tanks ect for the next 3 minutes

[wide shore]

I can’t wait to bathe in the tears of Bolte drivers now that they can’t spam spawn them.

[frosty mural]

They said it'll be hard to do this and won't see this coming in, something to do with performance

[crisp junco]

The performance is bad enough in the huge maps
These basic trucks wouldnt be needed if the maps werent so big and it would improve performance

[ruby kelp]

Performance has always been awful with Frostbite. Better have an i9 or else you're gonna be at 90fps with drops to 30-45

BF1 and BFV both did it.

[jolly sleet]

battlefield on unreal engine perhaps

lmao

[crisp junco]

But they (mostly) ran fine
I had some problems with 5 but zero problems with 1
And 1 looks just as good as 2042
Imo the 128 player mode is a massive waste rn

[wide shore]

BF1 looks better than 2042 just because of the art style and the varied environments.

[jolly sleet]

1 looks better than 2042

[cedar turtle]

What's a single game that's hyped up giant maps that's actually done really well? I feel like MASSIVE 1XX vs 1XX BATTLES is always a symptom of a game that ends up with a playerbase unable to fill those lobbies/maps.

[crisp junco]

Just cause 3 delivered on a good, massive map

The maps in squad are huge and they work fine

[cedar turtle]

Squad is a good example. I suppose Arma is too?

[hard plume]

https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/u1twk8/whats_up_with_battlefield_2042/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

[ruby kelp]

Kaleidoscope would look so much better if the whole court yard idea was more like Central Park

[hard plume]

It dipped like one fucking time

[crisp junco]

I guess
Arma maps are barren on purpose so when making missions the creator would only decorate the mission area to retain performance

[solar minnow]

With bigger maps they should had more transport vehicles.

[shell ermine]

DICE just needs to cancel the year 1 content and refund everyone who bought Gold/Ultimate/the Pass in any way.

[cedar turtle]

More people are playing Arma 3 than BF2042.

[crisp junco]

I would say this or just reduce the maps size

[ruby kelp]

My thing is, DICE designs realistic maps. Battles aren't in perfect places with perfect cover. I remember how pissed everyone was over Panzerstorm but what kind of farm has a ton of cover? I think it's the same idea for a lot of the maps in this game, but I'm ultra hopeful that there are more CQC style maps to scratch that itch.

[crisp junco]

I feel like after the next battlefield game releases the arma 3 playerbase will still be stable
There arent many other big milsim games that could replace it and it has a huge number of mods

[shell ermine]

Maybe I'm wrong but I think there are more tanks on the map on Panzerstorm than any map in 2042

[cedar turtle]

Absolutely. Still profound, considering milsim is a niche among FPS. You'd expect a title like BF2042 to dominate.

[crisp junco]

Theres always the thing of it being a warzone
You can build military structures with cover in a otherwise naturally empty place

[chilly oak]

is the update delayed or not

[shell ermine]

Does it matter?

[ruby kelp]

Yes, but if it's a new battleground, like NoPats are converging in one area for the first time, you don't have that yet. I'm not defending anyone here, just thinking through it.

[shell ermine]

It won't change anything for the better

[crisp junco]

Yeah but im saying that it doesnt have to be situation on which the battlezone is seeing comvat for the first time

You can do cool maps with either a straight up military base or civilian location transformed into one, like you can make it that a higheay has been turned into a makeshift airfield

[ruby kelp]

I'm not disagreeing, just that's not normally how BF had done it. The map design is more based around things that belong there rather than things that were installed specifically for war.

Even if Kaleidoscope looked more like the space under the arch on Hourglass with busses and stuff, that'd make more sense for Kali too.

[cedar turtle]

It's not the best choice, it's Spacers Choice

[soft swallow]

If you use an Smg in BF2042, you are like Thanos

[crisp junco]

I get it
Im just saying that as much as it has been this way in the battlefield series before, you can also change up the traditional formula and do it in new ways, i mean they already changed the tradition of classes

[soft swallow]

They changed everything

[ruby kelp]

I can remember when a lot of the big BF streamers were alpha testing BFV, they were specifically talking critique on cover and map design. It's clear that they didn't get invited for these things again and it's showing.

[crisp junco]

I miss the bf5 build mechanic
I was really hoping they would expand on it since it was a cool idea that most people forgot about

[hardy leaf]

lets make no bones about it, this game is going to end up like anthem

when anthem released they said trust us we will fix it and here we are

[crisp junco]

I thought anthem was just a collective dream that we all had and it never actually existed

[hardy leaf]

even its rework got cancelled

they started the project named anthem 2.0 but it never got finished

those who bought Anthem were promised over and over again,

[ruby kelp]

I think the only difference is that Anthem wasn't a franchise.

[hardy leaf]

yes true that, but i dont think it will matter much

some people might still be playing anthem tho

[grizzled whale]

i play anthem every now and then

[solar minnow]

Anthem was a great concept but BioWare couldn’t execute on its vision.

[hardy leaf]

well ofcourse you do

[grizzled whale]

aside from the lack of content anthem is amazing

story: decent
gameplay: 5/7
graphics: 9/10
world: 8/10

[thorn helm]

does battlefield 3 still have rent-a-server ?

[cyan trout]

Courtesy of Frostbite engine if I remember correctly

[craggy marten]

I don't think BF3 is alive in the first place.

[hardy leaf]

i see a pattern here of the games that seem amazing to you

[craggy marten]

Hence why it only got like 300 players on STEAM and possibly less on other pc gaming stores

[grizzled whale]

what i said was true

tell me what was wrong with anthem aside from lack of content

[hardy leaf]

300 players is fine considering how old that game is

[solar minnow]

Yeah, from what I heard it was a pain to use at the time.

[cyan trout]

Majority of BF3 players probably don't own it on steam

[thorn helm]

guns to be added to BattleFuture 4:
Madsen M-50
Gorilla Carbine
ACID SPLATTER Tank Rounds
independent Targeting PODS
TOW'S To separate gunners
A-10 GAU Remaster

[craggy marten]

Even then it's probably NOT alive, someone here told me that EA shut down the servers for the game, don't know if that's true but I'm keeping that in mind just in case.

[thorn helm]

I asked bout BF3 because if those rent-a-servers are still up then why not BattleFuture 4?

[hardy leaf]

no they havent shut down servers i think

[solar minnow]

Bf3 still has servers only 2 are full most of the time.

[crisp junco]

Are you saying that you want these added to 2042?

[hardy leaf]

to battlefuture 4

[crisp junco]

Whats that

[thorn helm]

Intratec TEC-22
BF4

[hardy leaf]

might be the next battlefield game

[craggy marten]

Tf is a Battlefuture?

[hardy leaf]

he knows since hes mentioning it

[grizzled whale]

@hardy leaf

[cyan trout]

Usually EU servers stay up longer than other regions

[hardy leaf]

bro i dont want to start about things wrong with anthem

game is done for

[grizzled whale]

so your argument is invalid

[thorn helm]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intratec_TEC-22
the Tec.25 uses ACP

[hardy leaf]

when did i argue ?

[grizzled whale]

you are implying anthem is garbage

[edgy oriole]

yes

[hardy leaf]

i simply said i see a pattern of the games you liking

[cyan trout]

[grizzled whale]

with which you imply that anthem is garbage

[hardy leaf]

your words not mine

[grizzled whale]

stop trying to look smart, its not working

you imply a game is trash, but cant bring up a reason for that, so your argument is invalid as usual

[tiny imp]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bean-waiting-still-waiting-gif-13052487

[hardy leaf]

when did i called anthem trash mentioning you? what are you on about?

[grizzled whale]

you see a pattern in games i like, and we all know your opinion on 2042, which i like.
so with "pattern" you mean trash games
Stop trying to act smar

[elder patrol]

Spaghetti

[scenic tartan]

Go play battlefield 3 and tell me it doesn't have massive maps.
There was a map I played yesterday where the farthest objectives were 1200m away

[hardy leaf]

the negative feedback is about maps being vast but soul less with no cover etc

im sure no one would hate a well designed lively map , which is vast and massive

[wide shore]

The Armored Kill DLC was full of vast maps. Bandar Desert used to be the biggest map in the series.

[solar minnow]

I wonder why they didn’t stick with their concept art style.

[hardy leaf]

like what

[thorn helm]

and M1128

[grizzled whale]

because they werent given the time to do so

[solar minnow]

Concept art for the maps were more war torn. Like flipped over cars. Streets litter with shells and garbage and even more weather events like fire tornado.

[hardy leaf]

but now they have all the time

[grizzled whale]

they need all the time they have to fix bugs

if they kept all the people working on the game yeah, but now that theres barely any people doing that nah

[hardy leaf]

people who make trailers dont have much idea about the actual game it seems as far as EA is concerned

[solar minnow]

The concept art was made in the pre-production so they had time just decided to take to tone somewhere else.

[solar minnow]

They did it’s just the marketing team knows the community better and their job is sell the product no matter what even if it means flexing the narrative.

[grizzled whale]

they werent given the time to spend on making the maps more complex, thats the thing

even now the game wasnt ready for launch, imagine if they made the game like the concepts

[solar minnow]

I think 128 player handy capped them with the map design to be honest.

[thorn helm]

New Jersey facility
Halloween quick Trip?

[solar minnow]

The more complex the map looks the more harder it hits the GPU. Plus with double the players. The CPU has a harder time feeding the GPU information about where stuff should be. That’s probably why performance is bad even with these maps now.

[thorn helm]

it can start out in idk some underground metro station & work its way up

[soft swallow]

Literally 5 km2 of map

And the graphic it's crazy

[ripe hedge]

That's a very very weird list... Any insight on them? Why these particular ones?

[dry robin]

Arma 3 had 260km2 and it running perfectly btw

[thorn helm]

No Comment.....

[hard plume]

Even bf4’s original maps had open spaces

[wide shore]

Golmud was basically nothing but empty space.

[hard plume]

And one of the most popular

[wide shore]

That map was okay. I only liked fighting in the town.

[frosty mural]

Everyone forgot about the armored kill DLC from BF3 - the snow map with the mountain and bandar desert

[hard plume]

I liked going to a/b with a tank

[wide shore]

I abhor most BF4 maps

[hard plume]

Yea they were….eh i honestly only have fond memories of the dlc maps

[wide shore]

Probably because it didn’t play very well on console with only 24 players.

[frosty mural]

Bandar Desert was one of the biggest maps at the time and all empty space yet it was fun

[wide shore]

I thought the armored kill maps were sweet. But I didn’t like to play that DLC cause the maps were too big for us console bois.

Aftermath though.

[frosty mural]

https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Bandar_Desert?file=Bandar_Desert_CQ_64_Overlay.png#Flag_layouts

Looking at this map, the layouts and vehicles mostly civilian made it playable - every flag has a quad or buggy

[thorn helm]

Strike at?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jharkhand

[tranquil turtle]

Aftermath is so great

Azadi palace is so fun

[tiny imp]

good memories

[frosty mural]

The best one even though it wasn't BF'esq was close quarters, running around in tight residential places just spraying down a hallway with a LMG seeing pieces of walls and furniture break off was so satisfying - it really was a change of pace

[tiny imp]

Alborz Mountains was my favorite

[thorn helm]

863 km
Distance from Wake Island to Bikini Atoll & the Wind Blows? good new song for 2042?

[tiny imp]

Gulf of Oman!

[brittle forge]

No hate but Gulf of Oman I think is really overrated

Maybe I was just tired of it getting remastered twice in two games right after one another

Big agree about Aftermath tho, imo it was the best map pack for Battlefield other than arguably BF4 Final Stand

[humble bobcat]

April update???

"The update has been delayed until further notice."

[glossy storm]

I genuinely hate this map in BF4.

[frail sparrow]

patchnotes today?

[solar minnow]

Patch notes are being made right now so probably no

[frail sparrow]

[solar minnow]

Maybe tomorrow if we’re lucky.

[fringe bobcat]

Well they do things on Thursdays

So potentially Thursday I’d say

[thorn helm]

Holo-Graph 2042 Radar GPS?

[knotty gazelle]

What a scammers

[soft swallow]

Actually 270

But graphic it's very much worst than BF2042

Well it's an old game

[dry robin]

But never gets old

[soft swallow]

Like Battlefield 3?

I never played Arma III but it seems cool

[sleek latch]

Please send your clips to Streams and Videos

and you too, please send your clips to Streams and Videos

[thorn helm]

I hope they update 2042 settings/clear enemy Tags plus a new sci-fi Upgrades/weapons UI

[hidden sequoia]

why bf1 dont have any support team....
im seeing the same cheaters every day
hole server report them and nothing happen!

[foggy halo]

@hidden sequoiaoffer to work in the support team, maybe they need some people.

[warped pulsar]

I wonder if the update is this week

[arctic grove]

Yes. It is

They're working on patch notes rn

Official

[silk surge]

Anyone wanna bet that the datamined map codenamed 'lightsout' will be a map specifically called 'Operation Metro 2042'?

[arctic grove]

Train of brutal expectations

[silk surge]

It's a very different game from Battlefield. Arma 3 is basically the most accurate milsim out there.

[mental delta]

Where did you see the leak

Send the leak please

On temporyals Twitter page. He posts a lot of good stuff for 2042 on there that could have a high probability of making it into the game

[arctic grove]

I wonder what are dice devs doing rn

[silk surge]

I honestly think that a Metro map alone would bring a huge amount of players back. 'Metro junkies' is a sizeable chunk of the community.

[arctic grove]

They're stuck in the orbital tunnel

[silk surge]

Or Hourglass Arena.

[vivid nacelle]

why has the layout of Youtube changed....

[tame vine]

Definitely, like 70% of my time on BF3 is just metro lmao

[arctic grove]

Can't relate. I'm on past gen

[silk surge]

Loool same but for Caspian Border.

[arctic grove]

Almost all of my game hours on bf4 were on locker and metro I don’t blame you

[thorn helm]

funny there is a transit right down the street from Trenton psychiatric hospital?

[arctic grove]

If I played vehicles it was almost always one map, golmud

The fact that they didn't release metro in portal bothers me

[silk surge]

I would kill for Caspian Border to be added in the AOW playlist. They remade my favourite bf map of all time but made it PORTAL exclusive, wtf DICE?
