battlefield-2042

[jolly sleet]

is anyone here able to get into conquest matches??? evertyime i try it just says waiting for players to join

[arctic grove]

Caspian but make it 2042ified

And make the caspian bf3 loading theme come back

[silk surge]

Caspian Border 3.0

[arctic grove]

Casper border

[silk surge]

I love that loading theme, the soldiers chanting.

[arctic grove]

Is that 2042ied enough?

[arctic grove]

Dead game issue

[jolly sleet]

i am trying the 64 player version bc i just cant handle the preformace issues with 128 lol

breakthru works fine for 64 -

conquest doesnt

[thorn helm]

Trenton gives me Ooozy Boogies 🥴

[solar minnow]

If breakthrough had 3 objectives instead 2 it would be easier to handle 128 players. Hourglass second sector feels the best.

[sudden peak]

Wake island 2042 pls

[silk surge]

Speaking of Temproyal... Looks like we're getting thermal and night vision sights back

[sudden peak]

Meh night maps suk. Too much hard work

[silk surge]

Night vision sight would be fucking perfect for Manifest.

[sudden peak]

Blast the brightness up job done

[silk surge]

But muh immersion

[sudden peak]

Or turn it down to 20% and be immersed

[silk surge]

Way ahead of you

[sudden peak]

In hell.

[solar minnow]

Night vision i think was cut same with thermals

[silk surge]

I can't see shit, but I am immersed af

[sudden peak]

[solar minnow]

He datamined those from the play test

[sudden peak]

You can also put blue tack in ur ears to simulate war deafness

[silk surge]

I already do that to avoid the angel does it again shit

[solar minnow]

Smart rounds sound OP too

[arctic grove]

Potentially op on lmgs

[solar minnow]

You hit an enemy and he is marked on the map

[arctic grove]

These rounds are smarter than 2042 devs

[thorn helm]

and gel-hemostat armor?

[wide shore]

Night maps rule. More maps like Zavod Graveyard Shift please

[solar minnow]

Armor shouldn’t be in the game either to be honest. It’s not a level playing field.

[thorn helm]

gas-liquids absorption helmets

[thorn helm]

Boonie Hats it is then.....

[solar minnow]

Boonie hats are forever.

I fully expect it

[shy grotto]

Update still not here huh

[solar minnow]

No, patch notes are “in progress”

[thorn helm]

H.O.G. Huntin' ina BOG, all SLOG.

[solar minnow]

I swear if I see half them are hazard zone fixes….

[runic prism]

A question

Which ssd is better , Firecuda 530 1TB or WD BLACK SN850 1TB

[thorn helm]

what's faster or the fastest

[solar minnow]

Samsung 870 would be better

[raw linden]

Im getting extreme stutter when I ADS on Xbox, is there any fix or is this game just unplayable on Xbox?

[solar minnow]

It fixed invisible players and low LOD bugs.

[soft swallow]

It's based to be realistic experience?

[warm monolith]

People still playing this game?

[scenic tartan]

if they were in the playtest but removed i wouldn't count on it making it to the game - it was probably considered but rejected

I hope they dont add thermal because its too hard to balance it not just being the best option in all situations

[solar minnow]

That’s what I’m saying. They are gone.

[raw linden]

i literally just got this game on game pass and im getting 15 FPS maybe when i ADS lol

[scenic tartan]

whats wrong with your xbox?

[raw linden]

solid 60fps otherwise

[solar minnow]

Which Xbox system?

[raw linden]

Xbox One X

[warm monolith]

Bro go enjoy bf1 or something thats playable

[raw linden]

yah I think Imma just uninstall lol, quickest I've ever uninstalled a BF game lol

[scenic tartan]

that sounds like a problem with your hardware, it doesnt do that

[raw linden]

like my Xbox itself or Xbox in general?

[solar minnow]

That’s probably all you can do

[scenic tartan]

It doesnt drop to 15 fps when you ADS on xbox one X
https://youtu.be/azo0jtdMRaM?t=139

[raw linden]

maybe its a VRR bug Ill try disabling VRR

[solar minnow]

Maybe doing a hard restart would help to so you can clear your cache.

[raw linden]

if u want i can record what im exeperiencing lol

[austere kiln]

Spoiler alert, new patch is nothing but hazard zone fixes

Nothing else, hazard zone only to cater to the five players that play hazard zone

[raw linden]

i just installed the game though, i might try it but its bizzare

i did run it once before an update though

[scenic tartan]

ive played it on a base ps4 and it doesnt drop frames in ADS even

[raw linden]

im pretty sure its a bug not a performance issue, i can be looking at the sky and it tanks

its consistent 15fps drop, whatever it drops to it feels locked at

[austere kiln]

How about: get a pc

[raw linden]

turning off VRR dont help :(

[austere kiln]

Or a ps5

[solar minnow]

Real clever.

[raw linden]

I play BF4 on PC, my PC just cant run BF2042 lol

[austere kiln]

Xbox one x >ps4 pro but ps5>series x

[austere kiln]

Its a genuine solution numbnuts

[wide shore]

Series X has seriously bad slowdown sometimes. Can confirm.

Seemingly random too. Almost crashing your game 0 FPS for a few seconds bad

[scenic tartan]

i have heard that the xbox version has a lot more problems

[scenic tartan]

that version just didnt get as much attention/time

[wide shore]

Here’s an example

[scenic tartan]

I played it a little on PS5 but i just cant do controller for FPS anymore

I pre ordered the PS5 version before i upgraded my PC and now playing on controller feels like playing with my feet

[raw linden]

im at a loss honestly, the game actually looks and performs amazing for Xbox One X but the ADS 15FPS is literally unplayable

[scenic tartan]

I used to play BF4-BFV on controller no problem, same with apex

[wide shore]

(I wasn’t tap firing either btw)

[scenic tartan]

see that looks more like network lag not a frame drop

a frame drop would not slow down the game like that it would continue at the same speed but it would not update the screen as often so it would be choppy

[solar minnow]

Everyone will have different experience with this game no matter what also some maps preform better than others.

[small crater]

So about the patch... Is the delay to June true?

[solar minnow]

Discarded has optimization issues

[wide shore]

I can assure you, it’s not network lag. I don’t get any performance pop-ups and my ping is always sub 30MS. It is the game chugging for dear life. And it’s a common problem on the Series X.

[mental delta]

No but end of april I believe

[plucky pebble]

You mean 2042 has*

[mental delta]

Isn't your pfp death stroke

[plucky pebble]

No its something else

[solar minnow]

My GPU never stays at 99% it’s going between 80% to 95%

[mental delta]

What is it ?

[raw linden]

does anyone here have the game on Xbone X?

[small crater]

My CPU does that

[raw linden]

why doesnt this server have a channel for last gen gahh

[drowsy sapphire]

Just try to play helicopters and tanks only, it is a disappointment with what’s occurring for you, and shouldn’t be a thing but if you want to keep playing, maybe challenge yourself to some vehicle gameplay

[solar minnow]

Ooof that’s rough.

[plucky pebble]

Idk remember the name it was called ghost recon phantoms or something

[mental delta]

Ho the one on pc which was a MP game

[plucky pebble]

Got a 3700x with a 3070 and barely got 60 on gunfights everything on low

[mental delta]

I played it a bit but it wasn't that good

[solar minnow]

Upgrading memory to 32GB helps a little.

[plucky pebble]

Plus the mouse delay shit

[plucky pebble]

It was pretty different back then

[mental delta]

I hope so

[solar minnow]

Intel processors give you a more stable FPS

[plucky pebble]

I mean it was pretty shit but i liked the masks

[plucky pebble]

I can play cyberpunk everything on ultra with raytracing and get more fps on it that in 2042

[solar minnow]

Well cyberpunk doesn’t eat your cpu like bf does.

[raw linden]

I found someone with the exact same issues as me on Xbox One S who posted on EA's bug page..... back in January. Idk what I did to cause the same bug since it cant be everyone but I give up

[runic prism]

Firecuda 530 is so much faster then that. Wd black sn850 is highly recommended but ye idk . Firecuda 530 is a lot cooler and maybe a bit faster then the wd black sn850 . But the wd black sn850 is recommended by the ps5 architect but ye idk

[clear hull]

why people still be hating on BFV? if you hate BFV then you truly haven't seen BF2042 mess

[thorn helm]

980 PRO

[plucky pebble]

Brother i also tried on a i9 9900ks and still ass

[runic prism]

It’s not the best ssd but a great choice maybe. Most choices are wd black sn850 or firecuda 530 i think

[clear hull]

BF2042 optimization is really god awful

[plucky pebble]

I mean if you can notice between an gen 4 ssd vs a sata ssd on 2042 you are delusional

[thorn helm]

why because they have heatsink and light up

[mental delta]

Lol I get it

[scenic tartan]

"We've got some changes for Sundance's Anti-Armor Grenades presently scheduled for the next update which makes them more effective against targets in their immediate vicinity. That should be a big help going forward in obtaining their T1 Mastery."

from straatford in the forums today

[runic prism]

Idk what u are saying but im saying it about the ps5 ssd’s

[scenic tartan]

since we are close to a holiday now I think we wont see the update until the last week of april

[thorn helm]

?im fine with that

[plucky pebble]

No i mean on pc

[scenic tartan]

yeah no big deal, more testing more fixes

there's no new content until a few months anyway

[clear hull]

"early April"

[plucky pebble]

Thats what they said with the delays xD

[clear hull]

I don't take DICE words anymore

[plucky pebble]

No big deal no new contentn till nobody cares

[solar minnow]

Didn’t realize it’s SSD for PS5 then buy whatever faster. PC it don’t matter as much

Maybe the April patch was a April fools joke?

[runic prism]

Samsung 980 pro specs are less then the other two

[scenic tartan]

why do you think that?

[compact sleet]

Aprils fools…. Dice wouldn’t do that right…..

[solar minnow]

I was kidding. Lol

[arctic grove]

Just dropped in to see if the patch has dropped yet since they said “eArLy APriL”

[solar minnow]

Not true. The 980 pro gen 4 is better

SN850 might be a little better but you won’t notice.

[runic prism]

I know but I searched a lot and it’s always the sn850 and firecuda on the top for best choices but ye idk which is better. I saw that firecuda is a lot cooler then sn850 but is it necessary on the ps5 ?

[raw linden]

okay so i enabled toggle zoom and it turns out its HOLDING down the left trigger that causes 15fps. zooming in while using toggle zoom is smooth 60fps. how is this game so broken

how can holding down a button on my controller cause 15fps

[runic prism]

My game was much smoother when i turned my fov to the max lol

[raw linden]

its the same with the right trigger omg

[hidden escarp]

I can count the number of people who have had that problem on one finger

[raw linden]

left or right trigger just tanks my fps to 15 on Xbox. and i just installed the game. but aight its my fault buddy

[solar minnow]

You won’t notice the difference between the two. I would just do SN850 sense it cheaper then the 530

[hidden escarp]

Didn't say it was your fault, just said it was your problem.

[raw linden]

aight so its cause i have a second controller connected, literally unplugged the other controller and its fixed. how tf

[runic prism]

Even if there is 10 degrees difference?

[cyan trout]

Why have more than one controller connected? Do they even make couch co-op games anymore?

[plucky pebble]

Lmao

[thorn helm]

OH-58D

[solar minnow]

Yes. Unless your planing on letting it hit 70 C which is impossible.

[raw linden]

i dont even know why i had the other controller connected honestly, i have one with a trigger stop and one without, i dont play couch coop much

[thorn helm]

Agusta A129 Mangusta

[raw linden]

might have been charging it, but the one with the trigger stop is wired

[runic prism]

So for degrees on ps5 u don’t need to worried about that but on pc is it more important or ?

[solar minnow]

Not really. It’s only laptops that suffer heat issues.

[raw linden]

anyway the game does actually look and peform real nice on Xbone X so Im gonna give it a shot. big BF4 PC player but i dont mind controller

[solar minnow]

Desktop cases provide enough airflow.

[runic prism]

Why are some people then doing things like a water thing to your pc thing

water tube that thing

[solar minnow]

Even water cooled pc have fans no matter what.

The motherboard generates heat too.

Unless they are mini ITX boards. They have low power consumption.

[cedar turtle]

It's true. Fans are the best.

[runic prism]

Then why do they use that water tube when the fans are enough ?

[solar minnow]

It’s a personal preference

[cedar turtle]

I went through this whole investigation when I built my PC.

[solar minnow]

Fans are still better. It’s been tested and proven.

[compact sleet]

If I were to buy a pc do I have to buy every part individually or can I just like buy a pc like I can just buy a console

[cedar turtle]

Yes

[solar minnow]

Pre built suffer from crappy motherboards and power supply.

[cedar turtle]

Depending on which graphics card you want, you might have better luck buying one that's already built.

[solar minnow]

The prices are dropping slowly.

[compact sleet]

Idk anything about pcs but I’m thinking about buying one cause I wanna play DCS

[solar minnow]

I recommend building your own and learning how they work. It’s essential to maintaining it.

I’ve built my own.

[cedar turtle]

Same. It's really the way to go if you take the time to learn exactly what you want.

It's less complicated than what you're expecting.

[solar minnow]

It’s also how you get the best results.

[raw linden]

I havent played BF on console in a long time, is weapon DOF toggle only allowed for PC?

[solar minnow]

Yeah

[thorn helm]

I hope Metro peeps🐰 are okay

[raw linden]

-__- very cool Dice

[solar minnow]

Bf on pc is very customizable.

[raw linden]

going from BF4 on PC to this on Xbox is a big -______-

i thought they would have given console most things by now, espeically basic toggles

at least there's an FOV slider unlike COD

[compact sleet]

@cedar turtle @solar minnow thanks

[solar minnow]

It’s not as bad as you think. Just do a little homework and you’ll be an expert before you know it.

[runic prism]

@solar minnow PC or a console if the heat is a lot does the performance not decrease? because sometimes I read that on google when the ps5 gets warm the performance goes lower I don't know if that's true

[solar minnow]

Well if your in a hot room all the time with low airflow then yeah but it’s easy to fix that with a fan or crack a window.

[runic prism]

From what degree does your performance decrease?

[solar minnow]

85C and above but the system will shut down before parts get damaged.

[runic prism]

So under 85C nothing happends to the performance ? Like if it is 25C on gta and 55C on gta it’s the same performance

[plucky pebble]

Yeah

[solar minnow]

Pretty much

It’s hard to overheat parts and decrease performance unless your trying too.

[compact sleet]

My ps5 gets warm after like four hours but I never notice performance issues (although a rarely play for more than two or three hours)

[forest snow]

anyone else get odd friend requests on origin ?

[crisp junco]

Define odd

[forest snow]

had a user with nothing but odd numbers and letters then a user called Stodeh

@fabulid Not long now! We're working on the notes right now :)

Twitter · Apr 12, 2022, 7:41 AM

[crisp junco]

You can just decline them no?

[scenic tartan]

patch notes before holiday, release after holiday maybe??

[crisp junco]

Is it big patch?

[solar minnow]

To them yes.

[scenic tartan]

they say its got fixes and updates theyve been working on since before december

patch notes will have to see

[crisp junco]

But like what are the updates about

[tribal obsidian]

Voip

[crisp junco]

Thats it?

[solar minnow]

Bugs, Balancing, attachment fixes and so other stuff.

[hollow nacelle]

Yo guys you heard some sad news the game has less than 1k players today

[crisp junco]

Ah so nothingto be excites about

[crisp junco]

Perhaps it will be surpassed by war of rights soon

[solar minnow]

If your looking for content no.

[arctic grove]

Bet the patch gets released week 3 of April and no longer in “EaRLy aPRiL”

[crisp junco]

Like balance and fixes is good and all
But those tend to be silent patches and not something that gets hyped

[arctic grove]

What a shit show DICE is

[wet pulsar]

I never got battlefront 3 because of a game with less than 1k players active

[crisp junco]

Less than 1k isnt bad
You can still find a few full lobbies

[compact sleet]

Early April is really just open to interpretation

[solar minnow]

You would think so for a big studio but no. Fixing the game is exciting for them.

[crisp junco]

Bf2042 is just so starved for updates bug fixes are being hailed

[arctic grove]

Why not just say “April”…..when you are a joke show, don’t give timelines you obviously can’t meet.

[solar minnow]

This update won’t make a big impact for bringing back players.

[arctic grove]

💯

[crisp junco]

I think the best thing to do is to come back in 2023 when they finish the base game

[solar minnow]

Even then it won’t be finished at this rate.

It’s sitting at 0.3.3.

1.0.0 is finished.

[arctic grove]

Who here is super duper excited to hide behind a couple of boxes and run around in fresh mud?!? But, only on 2 of the 7 maps though. Updating all of the maps is too much for this dev team. 🤡🎪

This game is dead dead. Shame

[crisp junco]

Im pretty sure ive seen better maps drawn up in ms paint

[arctic grove]

[solar minnow]

Don’t forget the maps they are remaking has old bf4 assets.

[arctic grove]

They ported over containers from BF 4

[arctic grove]

Great minds think alike

Embarrassing

You still have a handful of people in here that live in fantasy land saying things like “who needs VoIP”…..how about players on consoles. These people definitely work for DICE in here trying to gaslight the community

[solar minnow]

I think the people left over are just holding out for hope that they get what they intentionally paid for.

[arctic grove]

VOIP is totally necessary on console cuz you can’t get discord on consoles. The fact that they shipped this cat turd for cross platform play and never included VOIP is a complete joke

[flat brook]

Battlefield 2042 is already an amazing game.

It is fully worth the $100 for Ultimate Edition.

[wide violet]

monkaS

[flat brook]

Y’all this is the battlefield 2042 chat show 2042 some respect

[arctic grove]

I freely admit that I paid $120 for this game….never asked for a refund because it’s my fault for being stupid. I’ve written off that money and moved on to other games. I won’t be buying anything DICE anymore. The only way this franchise survives is if another studio (any studio is better than DICE) works on this franchise

[flat brook]

I’m sorry but what? Don’t write off that money, just enjoy the game you bought with it to its full potential. It’s a great game, if you give it a chance despite what the haters say.

The haters oftentimes have no idea what they are talking about

[solar minnow]

I mean it’s not terrible but could definitely do better.

[arctic grove]

LMAO!!!!! I tried and it’s straight garbage. I wanted it to work. This dev team is a clown car.

[flat brook]

Just about any game could do a little better, but that’s how it is.

[arctic grove]

They can’t even get the scoreboard right bro

[solar minnow]

True.

[compact sleet]

This game could do a lot better let’s be real (not hating or anything cause I enjoy this game a lot just being honest)

[solar minnow]

They are going to improve it with time. If they stopped and left the way it is then I would agree.

[flat brook]

For most things people don’t like about the game, there are a team of professionals working around the clock to update the game for all the haters demands

[arctic grove]

Isn’t BF7 in pre-production?

[silk surge]

Finally they at least say something. Was getting sick of the complete silence. Especially since they missed the early april mark.

[arctic grove]

Like I said, ONLY way this franchise gets its loyal player base back is by getting another studio with way better devs to take over

[analog stirrup]

lol

[arctic grove]

LMFAO

[arctic grove]

Them monthly updates are really proving that they are working around the clock

Early April?

[solar minnow]

They are fixing the game. That’s all that matters. Might take a little bit but you gotta have a little faith.

[flat brook]

Sometimes work isn’t immediately visible.

[analog stirrup]

"a team of professionals" lol lmao

[flat brook]

They are a team of professionals though? They are game devs with college degrees jeesh

[arctic grove]

Stop! They’ve been developing this hot trash for 3 years and can’t even get a scoreboard right

[tidal hare]

"a team of professionals" sounds like "200 years of collective experience"

[arctic grove]

The game is dropping like a fly. No one has faith anymore. Look at the steam charts man, the game is not coming back.

[flat brook]

I’m sorry that you personally don’t like the scoreboard.

[tidal hare]

well there is no content

nobody want to play the same game that was released half a year ago

[arctic grove]

I could care less about the scoreboard….just saying how bad DICE is that they can’t even get a simple scoreboard right

[arctic grove]

Exactly. No one will come back for S1

[tidal hare]

i would argue there will be people come back for s1

[arctic grove]

Because they lost hope for the game when it released in this shitty state

[solar minnow]

People will come back.

[hidden escarp]

Then wtf is wrong with the scoreboard lol

[flat brook]

They were trying something new. It’s called innovation, and so far the scoreboard is working well

[hot bronze]

if its good ppl will come back

[solar minnow]

They paid for it

[analog stirrup]

it took months to get here

[tidal hare]

you can just see the destiny player count flow

[arctic grove]

LMFAO!!! You must be a dev at DICE.

[arctic grove]

Can’t see it at the end of the round

[jagged snow]

"Have faith fam"

[hidden escarp]

Y'all hating just look like clowns, always the same 4 complaints

[hidden escarp]

For like, the next few days

[arctic grove]

Thought it was early April?

[tidal hare]

first week will be millions like people, second week half that, and then after a few weeks it goes back to usual numbers

[solar minnow]

“HAVE SOME GODDAMN FAITH” -Dutch

[tidal hare]

i thought we are in mid april

[flat brook]

I can confirm that I am not, as a matter of fact, a dev at DICE. What I can tell you, is that if you have ever been a fan of the series at all, to just have faith, and I promise you it will prevail.

[arctic grove]

We are

[hidden escarp]

"Early" April ends the 15th

[arctic grove]

Whatever you say pal

[tidal hare]

mid april is not a day

[jagged snow]

Ahh the mental gymnastics.

[tidal hare]

otherwise you only have "early april" 15th and "late april"

[hidden escarp]

Early mid and late are literally made up categories

Y'all are fucking stupid lmao

[tidal hare]

do a division

[flat brook]

The future of this game is bright.

[arctic grove]

It ain’t

[tidal hare]

whats so hard about 30/3

[solar minnow]

If they can fix bfv they can fix this game.

[tidal hare]

first 10 days are early, second 10 days are mid, last 10 days are late

is it that hard?

[jagged snow]

True I am ready to pay Dice some more to scam my ass some more.

[hidden escarp]

"Mid" april doesn't have to exist, you can simply have early and late, there's no fucking rulebook on vague generalisations based on months that DICE has to abide by

[arctic grove]

Don’t even bother my man 😭

[analog stirrup]

only if the summer content drop has 10+ guns of each category, and several maps

[flat brook]

I think that there is a lot of potential for it to become a phenomenon in the gaming industry, like the Minecraft or Fortnite phenomenons. The potential is definitely there.

[arctic grove]

Nah you definitely trolling 😂

[jagged snow]

BF2042 is the trendsetter

[tidal hare]

you want 10 glocks?

[hidden escarp]

This channel is the most bipolar place in the world

[arctic grove]

We will probably be getting the bare minimum tbh

[flat brook]

I seriously believe that 2042 has what it takes, with time and work to convert the haters into lovers

[tidal hare]

tbh, i would much rather them giving 2-3 guns with characteristics

like what bfv had

[flat brook]

and the COD-lifers into 2042-lifers

[tidal hare]

and a friendly reminder bfv was shit before they introduced pacific storm

[arctic grove]

BF7 is in pre-production. This game will be thrown away and never thought about by EA after all 4 seasons

[analog fractal]

Thanks for the laugh

[tidal hare]

2042 was in pre production the moment bfv drops too, it is just normal dev cycle

[jagged snow]

People are going to get converted from Elden ring to this game

[flat brook]

Just because another game is in preproduction, doesn’t mean that this game won’t have a massive playerbase a decade from now.

[arctic grove]

Just like they dropped support for V

[tidal hare]

now you are just trolling

[jagged snow]

[tidal hare]

bf1 was in dev when bf4 drops

[analog fractal]

DICE/EA always following trends instead of doing what they're good at with BF is so damn stupid

[hot bronze]

the thing is, if they manage to provide a balanced gameplay experience that is fun to play, then twitch/youtube FPS players will start playing and bring the less diehard fans to come play. if they dont and is a flop then the game will die till they do. we already see indie games with alpha build pulling in more players. their only goal they need to reach is "is it fun too play, is it better then other options" if they dont reach that then we will keep seeing low numbers.

[tidal hare]

tbh i am pretty sure next game is already on the board before 2042 drops

[flat brook]

I could definitely see it making people rethink what genre of games they should dedicate themselves to.

[arctic grove]

Why

[solar minnow]

Bf7 will have hero’s too. Just more gritty. No pats are part of the lore now.

[flat brook]

2042, whether y’all like or or not, is the future, in a literal sense both ways.

[arctic grove]

Why?

[tidal hare]

future my ass

[jagged snow]

[arctic grove]

Nah, I wanna hear why

[tidal hare]

it is literally modern setting

[hot bronze]

@solar minnow they can add and remove anything they want.

[flat brook]

I feel like your trolling with the whys

[arctic grove]

Tell me why it will be the future

[hearty flame]

A future of only ~2k players on steam is a baaad future

[hot bronze]

and just bc its part of lore doesnt mean they have to use it

[tidal hare]

honestly, if dice can pull a pacific storm out of their ass, they can still have a good future

[flat brook]

Because of the innovation present in the game. Think about the big hit Portal is going to become in the future. It might even become more popular than fortnite creative mode

[tidal hare]

but within first two seasons

portal is a great concept, and hopefully will be always there for future releases

honestly just make portal f2p.

[arctic grove]

But portal is not really active right now. How is it the future when it has no one playing it?

Plus it’s behind a paywall that no one wants to buy right now

[tidal hare]

who tf want to play hazard zone

[hidden escarp]

The future is by definition not the present

[tidal hare]

they really should put portal f2p instead of hazard stone

[hidden escarp]

That's why it's the future

[flat brook]

Because when DICE converts the haters into lovers by listening to their demands, it’s going to be picked up by the biggest twitch streamers and youtubers and the crowds will flock to it. The functionality of portal will only be upgraded from there.

[arctic grove]

Yes, but what will make people want to spend $60 just to play portal?

Or whatever the price is right now

[tidal hare]

portal is where bf experience is at, to introduce more players into bf experience

@arctic grove still whatever launch price is

[jagged snow]

BF2042 the future of gaming in general.
Overpromise underdeliver.
Call your community toxic for demanding basic features.
After promising communication go into radio silence.
Employ Community managers to manage expectations with little to none community interaction.

[hidden escarp]

Portal on its own will be worth $60, and if you don't think so you can buy it on sale for $30

You even get a free battlefield game with it

[arctic grove]

It’s EA, they aren’t putting the so called “future” of 2042 as a F2P. Would be a great idea tho

[tidal hare]

now you just hard trolling

[analog stirrup]

it's been this for years

[solar minnow]

Look if EA let’s them work on it then clearly there is hope for redemption and more profit to be made. They aren’t dumb

[jagged snow]

No XP progression in portal it's not worth shit currently.

[flat brook]

Lots of trolls in this chat today

[hidden escarp]

Portal has had XP gains for a while bro

[tidal hare]

honestly when they said a portion will be f2p i assumed portal, but no, the shitty tarkov is what they give

[arctic grove]

Well they aren’t smart either. If they listened to the community in the first place and delayed release, we wouldn’t be having this chat right now

[tidal hare]

they have a great idea, and grabbed a paper shedder,

execs are amazing

[solar minnow]

They were smart enough to get us to buy this crap. Lol

[arctic grove]

Yep. Same with V

[arctic grove]

They did one hell of a job with the build up of this game

The first trailer was amazing ngl

[tidal hare]

trailer did represent the game tho

[solar minnow]

So why would they put resources into it still.

[hidden escarp]

You're telling me, you, "real" battlefield "veteran," wouldn't pay $60 for a BF3, BC2 and 1942 remaster all rolled into one? With maybe even more games in the future?

Bruh half the fans on reddit are crying that they didn't get a BF3 remaster and begging for one to spend $60 on

[arctic grove]

Hm?

I’m all for them dropping the game if that’s what you mean 😂

[tidal hare]

first of all: you dont get all the features

[solar minnow]

They could just push out seasons and call it a day but no they are taking the time to fix things.

[hearty flame]

I wouldnt trust ea/dice not to fuck things up somehow

[tidal hare]

you dont get full weapon, full maps

[analog stirrup]

says who?

[arctic grove]

Taking their sweet ass time with these monthly updates

[tidal hare]

they did put hell of a effort on making portal and i respect that

[hidden escarp]

You don't now, they're adding more portal content with every season

[tidal hare]

sure buddy

[solar minnow]

Says the legal team.

[hidden escarp]

They literally are but ok.

[analog stirrup]

lol
lmao

[hearty flame]

Buy our game, we promise we'll fix it later

[tidal hare]

honestly they are legally required to do the first year

[arctic grove]

Let’s trust the team that works for DICE/EA. For all we know, this update could’ve been finished weeks ago

[cyan trout]

😂

[arctic grove]

I’m sold

[solar minnow]

Well they don’t feel the need to rush I guess.

[analog stirrup]

it's funny how it's come to that

[hidden escarp]

Welcome to the concept of live service, they add more content over time. At least they do when they aren't busy being harassed by the community over dumb shit like a scoreboard that doesn't have the numbers where the hivemind wants them to be

[sonic stone]

Absolutely true. I've heard sometimes it's more of an issue with companies to update than to actually produce it at times.

[hearty flame]

I wish i had your disposable income

[tidal hare]

pretty sure they have the entire playerbase up on their arse

[sonic stone]

Battlefield 4 was literally unplayable at launch, even worse than 2042. Look where it is now.

[tidal hare]

wait i replied the wrong one

[hearty flame]

Difference between adding content to a full game and patching the game upto speed

[royal swan]

was it bad for this long

[tidal hare]

would consider pretty simillar

[subtle imp]

people have short memories

[sonic stone]

Yes. Took them many months to get it to stop crashing.

[tidal hare]

iirc it was like ~6 months?

[subtle imp]

much longer

[tidal hare]

which we are about in the 6th month of 2042

[hearty flame]

4 was saved by dice la, not stockholm which made that mess

[hidden escarp]

Adding more guns and maps to portal in a game that has a full ass main title and 3 mini remasters is what we call "adding content to a full game"

[subtle imp]

and even then, after the bug fixes, balancing and tweaks went on for a loooong time

[plucky pebble]

But we learn from our mistakes!

[cyan trout]

Short answer is no. If it's not in the game now as it was for the original games I wouldn't spend money on a hope and a prayer.

[arctic grove]

Well 4 was arguably what the people wanted. A lot of people didn't want a game like this. Plus it was practically a different dev team

[tidal hare]

arent they called ripple effect now?

[subtle imp]

still got fixed... people have short memories and no patience

[royal swan]

that makes my perspective change

[hearty flame]

ya and working on portal, not aow. no chance of them saving 2042

[tidal hare]

imagine dice la took over again

[sonic stone]

Exactly. 2042 has a LOT of potential, it just has to be fixed. When the game is working right, I actually have a lot of fun playing 2042. At least this game doesn't crash every 10-20 minutes.

[hearty flame]

I meant that as in the poeple that saved 4 arent gonna save 2042 because they arent working on the full game, just portal

[tidal hare]

dice la wasnt working on full game back in 4 iirc? (at launch)

[hidden escarp]

4 was hated for being a copy paste clone of 3 at the time.

And now everyone claims to want a copy paste of 3 and 4.

"The people"are too stupid to know what the hell it is they want.

[subtle imp]

no, but different people can... being a pessimist is a choice

[arctic grove]

Source?

[tidal hare]

check reddit at around that time

[hidden escarp]

Source: memory, google it, ask anyone here?

[tidal hare]

and other forums

[subtle imp]

gestures vaguely at the internet...

[arctic grove]

yo what did you think of 4 around release?

[tidal hare]

but imo, 4 literally was a copy paste of bf3

[sonic stone]

We literally played it. People HATED a lot about that game. Weapon balance was a joke at launch as well.

[hearty flame]

Not being pessimistic just realistic. theres a major brain drain going on at dice and frostbite is notoriously difficult to learn and work with. put 2 and 2 together and you get 2042 is gonna be really hard to save

[subtle imp]

not impossible

[hidden escarp]

I didn't play it until years later with my bud. Had a good time, better than 3.

[steady dune]

the fact that bf4 was hated at launch doesnt make this game better and is not an excuse for what this game is

[subtle imp]

they were still making tweaks years after release

[hearty flame]

right and do you think EA funds impossibles? nope

[cyan trout]

I miss battlelog

[tidal hare]

I dont miss battlelog tbh

[subtle imp]

?

why i said it was "not impossible"

[cyan trout]

Didn't like launching BF3 from your browser? 😂

[hidden escarp]

No, the fact that every BF has this reaction at launch is. Y'all just aren't good at pattern recognition. If it hurts to touch everything, maybe everything isn't broken, it's probably the finger you're touching everything with.

[tidal hare]

honestly people jumping around studios are pretty normal in gaming industry, i have a friend jumped 3 jobs in the last month

[analog stirrup]

battlelog was a broken piece of shit for the longest time

[hearty flame]

ya I know. but dice only gets to fix as much as ea lets them. if ea judges that getting 2042 up to snuff is impossible then they wont let them. its what happened to anthem next and andromeda

[sonic stone]

It was a cluster for lack of better terms.

1. the game literally crashed every 10-20 minutes.
2. squads would break
3. many weapons and vehicles were overpowered.
4. on the previous gen consoles (xbox 360 and ps3) maps such as dawnbreaker would crash servers and freeze consoles when the levolution occured.

It was horrible and unplayable.

[steady dune]

i dont really think too much of the opinions of others, i know that the last battlefield i enjoyed playing is bfh, since then i didnt enjoy the others and still dont

[tidal hare]

anthem wasn't their main heavily advertised game tbf

[hidden escarp]

Lol, I had no idea this was I thing until I booted up 3 on PC to try it a few weeks back, I played on console back in the day. Why did anyone think a browser menu was cool?

[tidal hare]

i would argue you can compare bf franchise to NFS franchise better

NFS was the shit, and EA still regularly pushes out releases, with (some) support

[hearty flame]

ya and bf2042 is only expected to be like 5-10% of income this year (from their quarterly call). that inspires confidence that dice is gonna fix things /s

[tidal hare]

if fps genre loses their attraction, bf will be the next nfs

[hidden escarp]

EA makes a shit load of money elsewhere, tbf, sports titles and apex rake it in

[tidal hare]

in all fairness bf was never the big money maker

[hidden escarp]

This

[hearty flame]

ya and they make it for much less cost. why would ea want to put more money into 2042 if they get way less returns

[sonic stone]

This.

[tidal hare]

EA sports, their mobile lineup, those makes up majority of the sales oh and sims

[subtle imp]

and we dont know what EA has decided yet, its too early to tell, but so far they have said they are committed to fixing the game, and are putting out those fixes... so lets not let pessimism lead us to negative speculation or hyperbole

[cyan trout]

Blasphemous. BF3 through battlelog was prime battlefield

[tidal hare]

idk how sims got so much revenue

[sonic stone]

Because digital doll house

[hidden escarp]

Sure, if you hate yourself

[hearty flame]

Of course theyd say that. it was an investors meeting. they arent gonna say "ya we're gonna abandon this game we just put out"

[cyan trout]

They make everything a DLC

[steady dune]

because even non gamers play it, everyone can on their shittiest laptop

[tidal hare]

i guess i am just not in the sims demographic

[subtle imp]

actually if thats the plan then yeah they have to disclose that... cannot lie to investors lol

[hearty flame]

its got like $1k in dlc in very small packages. i can see why itd makes tons of money

[sonic stone]

Also, this game wouldn't be too hard to get popular again. All that needs to happen is the vast majority of bugs need fixed, the vehicles need their adjustments, specialists need a bit of a tweak, and then just push a few very large streamers and youtubers to play it again and give their opinions. It only takes a few 1 million plus subscriber content producers to make a huge impact.

[tidal hare]

they just need to fix the damn game and push out content

[hearty flame]

they dont have to lie. they already sold year 1 season pass. no all they have to do is make a minimal viable product and then their obligations are complete and they can say they worked on the game. they get a win win with their investors

[tidal hare]

nobody is gonna play a live service game with zero added content

simple as that

[subtle imp]

thats not what you said though

anyways, gotta run

[hearty flame]

I know. that scenarios somewhere between our two outlooks
cya later

[chilly oak]

did the patch get delayed? when patch notes?

[hearty flame]

tomorrow or next week

[chilly oak]

patch notes or patch?

[hearty flame]

ya sorry shouldve specified. Notes. apparently theyre working on them now but who knows how long that takes

[chilly oak]

ok i can live with that

[tidal hare]

Soon™

[soft swallow]

They don't say nothing

I hate when they do this

[iron blade]

Bruh Gilbert Gottfried died

This is a sad day

[static sleet]

ea close game and give money back XD

[sudden wasp]

the next bf will be better

mark my words

[scenic tartan]

This bf is better than the last one

[plucky pebble]

lmao

[whole plume]

Got my big toe stuck in a cereal bowl that was full of white castle sliders and milk

[small crater]

Did the patch just dropped?

[pulsar vine]

Not yet atleast

[subtle imp]

Hahaha!!! Wow that's sooooo original and hilarious omfg lmao thanks for adding so much value to the conversation!!!1!

🙄

[whole plume]

Crave case from white castles 10/10 would recommend

[arctic grove]

just trolls, i'd block em

[whole plume]

Favorite song from pac go rn

[arctic grove]

its hard to decide, but i aint mad at cha is my favorite rn

[whole plume]

That's what's up thoughts on hail Mary ?

[arctic grove]

that is definitely a close 2nd

[whole plume]

Now we talking

[arctic grove]

u?

[whole plume]

Honestly

Dear mama

[whole plume]

Have you ever been to a physical at the doctor's office ?

[arctic grove]

quite an interesting question to ask

[whole plume]

💀

@subtle imp have you been to a physical at a doctor's office

[wide shore]

[real ether]

Servers down?

[arctic grove]

im loading into breakthrough 128 now in NA so ill see

[whole plume]

I'm in a hotel playing battlefield on a microwave screen cuh

[arctic grove]

i like the loading screens that show the US/RU vehicles getting ready in the background, theyd be great for discord banners or something but theyre nowhere online

[whole plume]

They do look fire

[arctic grove]

they give me inspiration to be a complete vehicle main an entire game lol

i just loaded into a full game in NA so if youre still having matchmaking problems try restarting your game

[forest snow]

Servers are being weriddddd

[small crater]

I play on Xbox Series S and my friend that plays on Xbox One (old gen) is not showing online

[raw glacier]

is it called misadvertized if a feature in the game was shown in a ad but doesnt exist in the game

launching vehicles with explosives doesnt appear in the game

[arctic grove]

whats the feautre

[raw glacier]

they only bounce like 2 feet

[arctic grove]

Kinda like the trailer where an atv was driven off the roof into a black bird…..🤡

[raw glacier]

i think that was supposed to blow up the heli with c4 not launch the quad

in the 1942 scene they launch a ww2 transport vehicle into the futuristic osprey

[arctic grove]

I remember the trailer and a guy drove an atv off the roof a skyscraper into a black bird heli…..don’t remember any c4 on that

[raw glacier]

they added a scene in the gameplay part that put c4 on the quad then it got driven into the heli

[compact sleet]

They should add the RAH-66 I think it would be really cool

[arctic grove]

Obviously, that would crash 1,000 servers if we could do that with this game

[arctic grove]

False advertisement

[arctic grove]

Zero shot this could happen in 2042….these clowns can’t even get a damn scoreboard right.

[thorn helm]

yah!

[arctic grove]

If you're talking about the portal trailers they're just nods/jokes about cheesy tactics used by the game's community that was found by exploiting game physic patterns

Did you really think they were gonna intentionally make it easy to launch vehicles into the sky like catapults, no you have to find a way to do that

It wasn’t a portal trailer…..it was literally part of the 2042 trailer

that quad didnt explode

[raw glacier]

https://youtu.be/q4qWMcQfOCc?t=127

[arctic grove]

Didn't the portal trailers showcase a scene of the 1942 German team launch a car into a 2042 osprey using dynamite on the ground

ran out of things to call false advertising i guess

[arctic grove]

Yes, I’m not talking about that one….I’m talking about a scene from Kaleidoscope map on the roof where a guy drives a quad (from the roof) into a black bird that was lighting up the roof with mini guns

[arctic grove]

The false advertising in this part is fact that it's probably impossible to pull this off ingame despite it being showcased in the trailer

its not false advertising in any possible way, thats like saying dramatization in trailers period that didnt make it into the final product warrants false advertising...

[thorn helm]

the airshow is this year🎙️ 🎤

[arctic grove]

you might as well call the breakaway scene where that condour didnt instantly explode false advertising while youre at it

Well yeah because the physics ingame contradict what was shown in the trailer

https://youtube.com/shorts/ec9PwBlw2Rc?feature=share

i feel like youre trolling

theres no way you think thats false advertising

[raw glacier]

leme know when u get a successful vehicle launch in 2042

[arctic grove]

Not necessarily false advertising but more showing the viewers something you can't pull off in the real game

[arctic grove]

There is nothing “successful” about 2042

its not false advertising because nobody plays in abnormally close range to a skyscraper full of enemies

[arctic grove]

Then what was the point of putting it in the trailer? Marketing crap?

someone explain to him how trailers work

I know how trailers work especially after watching 2042's

[raw glacier]

trailers are supposed to show what the game would be like

[arctic grove]

The problem: 2042 isnt what the game is like

As far as I’m concerned….it’s NOT false advertisement…..all I see is a bunch of bots battling it out on a map…..exactly the same thing now in real life. Bunch of bots battling it out

[raw glacier]

ik

[arctic grove]

[thorn helm]

Comanche 4:Operation Delta

[arctic grove]

In one of the promotional trailers you have a bunch of uniformed soldiers running into battle, in the actual game instead of uniformed soldiers its mercenaries with poor voice acting and terrible design

The only "soldiers" you see from the trailer are actually bots with the sole purpose of a filling in a dead server

bottom line is its not false advertising. take it to court or do whatever you wish... youll just look dumb

I’m the court of the loyal fan base….DICE is guilty as charged. They are a complete joke show

the specialists appeared in the trailer if you payed attention, i think every one of them

all forms of advertisement that utilize dramatization by your logic is false advertising, when you think about that that just sounds dumb doesnt it, especially since thats a large part of advertisement

In

[scenic tartan]

That was re-creating a famous bf4 meme video

https://youtu.be/nteDP62uWcw

[pulsar vine]

I’d love to see an operation locker Rooms re make in portal or maybe as a AOW map just you know not ruining the map

[arctic grove]

Sad part about all that…the trailer looks 1,000 times better than the actual game itself

[scenic tartan]

No it doesn't

[arctic grove]

doesnt it use the in game engine

[arctic grove]

Yes it does

It even performs better

Only way the BF franchise gets its player base back is by EA dumping DICE for another studio with outstanding devs. Anything DICE is tainted as garbage from here on out. The damage is done

[scenic tartan]

No that's a horrible idea

[arctic grove]

No, that’s a superb idea

[pulsar vine]

You know they could simply just put time and effort into fixing 2042 (which I’m pretty sure they will be/have too) but last I remember they got one of the directors at Respawn Entertainment to work on either 2042 or the next title

[arctic grove]

DICE is done…..no one wants to buy there garbage anymore. They burned everybody with this car turd of a game

[scenic tartan]

I want to buy their games. Their games are good.

[pulsar vine]

But it doesn’t make it much easier to communicate with a community that if they say anything will result in a lot of backlash regardless of what’s said or done

[arctic grove]

They literally had 3 years on 2042…..it launched 1/4 done. That’s embarrassing

[arctic grove]

The backlash is 💯 justified. They lied

[scenic tartan]

It launched done I played the game 270 hours

[arctic grove]

Stop blaming “the community”

[scenic tartan]

They didn't lie about anything

[pulsar vine]

While true it’s not unlikely for these things to potentially turn around in the long run after all they have to provide a years worth of content

[arctic grove]

Awesome….bet you have killed 200,000 bots

[compact sleet]

There’s like no bots whatsoever

[pulsar vine]

Maybe like 5 on either team on Australian lobbies could be more at certain times

[arctic grove]

“Years worth of content”…….LMFAO

[pulsar vine]

It’s a years worth of content

[arctic grove]

That’s right….servers are completely empty. You’re right

[arctic grove]

5 too many

[pulsar vine]

Although I wonder how PS4 lobbies cause I mean old Gen consoles would be where a lot of the players would be console wise

[fallen yarrow]

Stop crying guys, this is the best battlefield game ever created. Most content. Least bugs. 10/10 fun game play. Early April patch will be out SoonTM. That will fix all the remaining issues (there aren't any issues since it's a perfect game). You guys just have too high standards for video games in 2022.

[scenic tartan]

I play with real players in full servers every time I play

[arctic grove]

Correct, my apologies….I have “brutal expectations”

[scenic tartan]

Why are you laughing about this? The game has only been out about 5 months?

[fallen yarrow]

0 content in 5 months....oh wait no, they released weapon charms. My bad.

[scenic tartan]

The portal mode going now with 2042 stuff in old maps is really good btw

[pulsar vine]

Obviously I mean that’s like 10/10 content

[scenic tartan]

When did they say new content would be coming? Is it that time yet?

[pulsar vine]

Unlikely to appear until June

[fallen yarrow]

Yes, i almost forgot the beanie they copied from one character to another. That was content.

[pulsar vine]

Or after June

[scenic tartan]

I know but this other guy seems surprised that there hasnt been new content and it's not summer yet

[arctic grove]

I find it hilarious that they port containers from BF4 as cover on only one of the 7 maps in 2042. Oh, even more hilarious, they added mud and barbed wire to only one cap point to “immerse” the players in a battle zone

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!

[scenic tartan]

The changes they are making is a good thing to make the capture points more isolated and have more cover. And being the points closer together to make the map more dense and interesting. I like it

[pulsar vine]

Yeah well they did clearly communicate that we shouldn’t expect any new content until then unless it’s bug fixes

[scenic tartan]

Yeah I guess a lot of people don't pay attention they just get impatient huh

[arctic grove]

That’s only on 2 of the 7 maps bro….sit down bro

[scenic tartan]

When you really like a game it's easy to get impatient for new maps and stuff

[fallen yarrow]

You're telling me they couldn't release a single map or a couple of guns (That they likely already created even before the release)???

[scenic tartan]

Yeah they showed some changes to two of the maps so far.

[jade robin]

Yooooo

[pulsar vine]

But I guess it’s somewhat reasonable to expect atleast a good sizeable chunk of content for season 1 atleast

[scenic tartan]

I don't know about what they could or could not do, but they said it wouldn't be until summer.

[pulsar vine]

Assuming that season 1 is like 3-4 months long

[arctic grove]

They can’t even get a scoreboard right the first time….they literally have to “patch” a damn scoreboard bruh……….🤡

[scenic tartan]

The scoreboard works well and i use it a lot what's wrong with it?

[silk jasper]

Wait they had to release a patch for a scoreboard when they had 3 months to work on it what???

Where

[fallen yarrow]

That's their bullshit excuse to drop feed the content over a longer duration and pass it off to the gold/ultimate edition buyers.

[arctic grove]

Totally ignoring you

[silk jasper]

theyre gonna market off the 100 or so bug fixes in the upcoming patch and hype it so much when it shouldve been done over a period for a live service game lmao

[upbeat sand]

shows about 20 patches

[pulsar vine]

Their atleast going to be marketing the shit out of season 1

[arctic grove]

Read the 3.3 patch notes….they are patching the scoreboard so it “loads” at the end of matches. This was like a given in every single BF game before. They also got it to work from the start. Circus

[scenic tartan]

Why? I'm just asking questions cause a lot of what you say doesn't make sense.

[scenic tartan]

Oh yeah they said it was added during the game but it would take longer to make it appear during the end of round screens. They said that

[arctic grove]

No one is coming back man….it will be you and Spudbug playing against a bunch of bots in the same beanie caps

[scenic tartan]

I play against full servers every time I play

[pulsar vine]

Anything can happen, i mean if season 1 as actually pretty solid and shows a good idea on what to expect in the future it’s atleast enough for people to get EA play play the 10 hour trial and test the new content

[placid echo]

I just got out of 6 full matches, two of them were portal

No bots were seen in my experience

[scenic tartan]

I guess if you don't like it it's fine but I think they make the right choice to delay and fix issue before doing new content. Players won't want to come back for a new map with old bugs.

[arctic grove]

Nothing from this new DICE is “solid”…..they are a junior varsity operation and it is showing every day

[silk jasper]

Omg wow that's like totally soo impressive for a so-called TRIPLE A game 😕

[scenic tartan]

Why would you throw insults like that when dice staff chat here?

[silk jasper]

They don't,.

[arctic grove]

[arctic grove]

They've gotten worse 😂 I'm sure they care deeply about what some dude on the internet says

[scenic tartan]

I've had responses from several dice staff before about stuff here, not even game stuff they are friendly

[arctic grove]

I hope they see these comments

[scenic tartan]

You hope they see your insults? That's really rude

[silk jasper]

The ones you've seen here definitely do not get a say in the game

[arctic grove]

Don’t be mad, it’s just how it goes

[arctic grove]

The weapons designer/creator/whatever comes in here

[pulsar vine]

As I said anything can happen, obviously it’s a little shine of hope but it’s enough, obviously it didn’t release in a good state but I genuinely have hope they can turn this ship around cause they definitely won’t be shipping BF6 next year at all so they’ll be stuck with 2042 for atleast 3 years

[scenic tartan]

Well just a life tip - if you insult and try to agitate poeple they are unlikely to open up to you. You get better results with being respectful and reasonable

[pulsar vine]

Alex is pretty chill : )

[arctic grove]

[scenic tartan]

Which ones have you seen that you know don't make decisions on the game?

[arctic grove]

You are acting like he said something extremely rude. He didn't. DICE/EA have gotten worse than being called a "junior varsity operation". I'm sure they will see his message and start crying. Don't be sensitive

[silk jasper]

For one, the moderators here even state that dice developers don't look into feedback that is mentioned here they literally tell you to use some ea feedback link

[scenic tartan]

I don't know why it's necessary to insult people

[silk jasper]

🤷‍♂️

[arctic grove]

Because that's the way of life. If you can't take an insult, you won't make it far

[scenic tartan]

There were channels set up to give feedback directly a few months ago

[arctic grove]

so insult people for no reason? that wont get you far either lmfao

[copper fulcrum]

You gotta be hyper aggressive towards everyone around you or you're considered a beta and everyone hates you.

What is this, 1900s?

[arctic grove]

just gets you killed, but people are very tough over screens

[arctic grove]

They aren't even insulting them for no reason. They probably spent $110 on the game, of course they are mad.

[silk jasper]

Just came back to the thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/qw1mbw/fuck_it_heres_a_list_of_absolutely_everything/

Atleast 3 things were fixed!

[arctic grove]

Of course, insulting someone is a good thing.

so be grown about it and either try to find a way to get it fixed, or get your refund

do something

[arctic grove]

I’ve been a loyal BF fan since it’s inception….I’ve had every single game that’s come out. This is by far the worst. What makes it even more egregious is the false hype and the state in which they launched this game. Not going to beat an already dead horse but they launched this thing in a super embarrassing state. They promised tons of stuff (not going list the long list of promises) and failed to deliver on the vast majority of them. They are a joke of a studio and it’s showing every day. They deserve every bit of backlash for what they did. They lied and took peoples money.

[arctic grove]

1. What is the insulter suppose to fix?
2. Most game stores aren't giving refunds

It is what it is

[copper fulcrum]

I've been a loyal BF fan since it's inception

This is one of the greatest games I've ever played

[arctic grove]

im sure thats very easy to figure out on your own...

[arctic grove]

Explain

Give feedback like the whole community has done?

well if your feedback has already been tirelessly suggested, then.... guess youre wasting your own time

and thats 100% on only you

[scenic tartan]

Reddit has a lot of people who are eager to just hate the game and try for who can make memes it's not a serious place.

[arctic grove]

Yeah, and since their feedback has not been implemented, what are they going to do? Get mad and complain which will lead to insults

only if you have no patience and dont understand that theres a different priority on every complaint

[scenic tartan]

Taking insults is a thing you have to learn but dishing out insults is childish. That's the difference

[wide shore]

They didn’t take your money. You gave it to them. Please stop acting like they stole from you. You’re free to feel like you didn’t get what you thought you were paying for. But that is also the risk you run by preordering the game.

Of course, their handling of this game is egregious. But you need to stop pretending like you have 0 fault in this.

[silk jasper]

Bro That thread specifically is not if your so-called "toxic" perception of reddit is true, literally click on it which is a comprehensive well constructed list????

ignorance is bliss

[arctic grove]

give me stability improvements and bug fixes before content and features, thats how i think about it

[scenic tartan]

2042 is better than bfv I think. It's an improvement from that game at least

[thorn helm]

https://tenor.com/view/c01logo-c01project-gif-24489526

[silk jasper]

im not and neither is that thread trying to be toxic in any way @scenic tartan please describe one aspect of the constructive list is "memic"

[thorn helm]

are gifs blocked?

[arctic grove]

Relax….I’ve already admitted to my fault for falling for their bullshit hype. I didn’t ask for a refund because I feel it’s my fault for being stupid enough to trust them. So, Im out $120….no big deal…im plenty good for it. Just saying that for people who $120 is a lot of money for, they lied and took the wit money.

[scenic tartan]

I don't go on the Reddit the people there are miserable and I like to focus on positivity

[silk jasper]

Okay

Do you also ignore all the reviews of this game as well ten @scenic tartan by your logic

[scenic tartan]

If I didn't like the game I would just.. do something else

I didn't like bfv very much and I just played other games instead

[copper fulcrum]

I got the ultimate edition

[wide shore]

And for people like that, they mostly got refunds. Played less than X hours and got their money back. If not, then you ran the gamble of preordering a game you knew nothing about, and got something you didn’t want. It’s like spinning a wheel, which says “you can win BIG!” And you win small. But you get mad that you were supposed to win big.

[arctic grove]

i'd say for the current state of the game that 120 as of rn wasnt worth it, but at the same time im not gonna act like this is final, like we still havent even hit season 1, and some guys think theyll just drip feed subpar content until 2023 but if you look at direct communications at all theres quite a lot that will do well for this game

i didnt buy the game: period

[copper fulcrum]

I already got more hours in this game than I do in BF1

[whole plume]

House of blues in Florida fire asf

[arctic grove]

same im creeping up on my bf4 hours

i have like 30 hours in bf1 already

[copper fulcrum]

Which isn't hard tbh. I only got like 30 hours or so in BF1?

[wide shore]

I definitely don’t. But I’ll get there eventually.

[arctic grove]

lemme see my bf1 hours

[silk jasper]

Don't want the game to fail, i sometimes do quite like the moments in it however the lack of live service and the constant delays is making me extremely doubtful for the future of the game, not to mention the painfully long periods of inactivity

[arctic grove]

nvm, 102 hrs in 2042 so far and almost 200 in bf4

surpassed bf1 though

[wide shore]

I wish DICE’s Community Managers didn’t have to go through 3,000 layers of scrutiny to just say something.

[arctic grove]

i feel like playing some more 2042 breakthrough

[silk jasper]

They better bring literally the biggest update that the bf franchise has seen come summer

They need to

[arctic grove]

time to play KA52s and AH64s again, loving 2042s vehicles

[copper fulcrum]

I saw a moderator in text chat say
"Lo-Fi beats to Sundance to"

just randomly in the chat

[wide shore]

Got 44d, 22h in BF1. 35d, 9h in BFV. 14d, 15h so far in 2042

I don’t think I’m touching BF1’s time anytime soon.

[arctic grove]

Nah, it’s not like that at all. You see, being a loyal BF guy believed that 2042 would be that good. I put my trust in a studio that no longer exists. Most of those guys left for other studios but I still hopes to get a decent game to at least enjoy (expecting some bugs of course). But, nothing like this. I admit that I got bit by the hype train but didn’t get my refund as a lesson learned for me because I can afford it. They lied and they took peoples money. They lied about the true state of this game. It’s now showing. DICE is a circus. They need to be stripped of this franchise because they clearly can’t keep up with it.

[copper fulcrum]

Going back to BF1, the gameplay did not age well

It's like I took a bite out of some nice fresh cheese and then took another bite 20 years later, unrefridgerated too

[compact sleet]

I have 55 hours on 2042 and 27 on bfv

[wide shore]

I can go back to BF1 and play it any time

It is timeless to me. RBD and all

[arctic grove]

Brother, do not hold your breath on that

[scenic tartan]

They didn't lie about anything idk why you keep saying that

[arctic grove]

Shhhhhh

[silk jasper]

i said i was doubtful before

[copper fulcrum]

I'm still wondering where all of this scamming is at, because people 'threatened' lawsuits and there's still not one single case to be found anywhere

[arctic grove]

I don’t want the franchise to fail….it will if DICE hangs on to it

[copper fulcrum]

I wonder how the Mobile game will turn out tho

[silk jasper]

well probably quite big given the scale of the mobile gaming market nowadays if its successful may rival cod mobile in that regard

[copper fulcrum]

It's slated to come out this year from what I recall

[scenic tartan]

Every developer has a hard time with releases after covid but I think dice will get it together

[silk jasper]

they cant use that excuse anymore

covid shouldve never been an excuse with the exception of potential delays

[arctic grove]

Tons of titles came out during COVID with way less issues than what DICE put out….just saying

[scenic tartan]

The game was entirely developed within the time when sweeden was under covid restrictions

[arctic grove]

Thank you

[silk jasper]

how would quality check of a game differ pre covid and during covid?

[arctic grove]

Not true….game has been under development for 3 years

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah in Sweden they were under total lockdown

[scenic tartan]

And tons of games came out with issues and delayed and short on content. It clearly had an effect on development all over

[copper fulcrum]

DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG COVID HAS BEEN HERE!?

[thorn helm]

what else couldthey add to the game?

[arctic grove]

Not true

[arctic grove]

Mud

[scenic tartan]

That's not really true, it was mostly put together in a year and a half or so

[copper fulcrum]

The entirety of 2042 was made in their home

[willow sky]

just waiting for those bug fixes... 😔

[scenic tartan]

By saying "not true" are you staying no other developer than dice had problems?

[arctic grove]

Not true….development started right after release of BFV

[raw glacier]

they could add a ifv like a future bradley

not a multi purpose spaa

[arctic grove]

You obviously must only play DICE games

[scenic tartan]

That's not what I've read

[arctic grove]

“EaRLy APrIL”

[silk jasper]

@arctic grove elden ring was developed during covid and turned out great, announced at e3 2019, reveal trailer during june 2021

[scenic tartan]

That's a weird way to type

[silk jasper]

it was delayed for a month only

[arctic grove]

Spudbug only plays DICE titles

[arctic grove]

[scenic tartan]

Elden ring has a lot of performance problems that's why I haven't bought it. It stutters even on a 3060 like I have

[silk jasper]

whats ur cpu

[scenic tartan]

I've seen videos of the game just randomly hitching up for a second

[arctic grove]

He literally thinks “watching a video” is like playing the actual game……

[silk jasper]

mate ive just literally went on some 3060 benchmark videos they all run great

[scenic tartan]

Well when you play on PC it's common to look at benchmark videos of systems similar to yours to see how it runs

[silk jasper]

pls dont tell me you expect to run 4k ultra on your 2070 equivalent 💀

[arctic grove]

Try running those “benchmark videos” for 2042……..

[silk jasper]

my 3070 struggles with bf2042

[scenic tartan]

Well since this was a 3090 I assumed my 3060ti would see the same thing.

[scenic tartan]

Oh 2042 runs fine on all high

[silk jasper]

720p?? Lmao its being bottlenecked Nice try cherry picking scenarios

[copper fulcrum]

I don't really have any performance problems with 2042 either

[silk jasper]

Now try watching a benchmark at 2k or 4k for that game

[copper fulcrum]

I gave Elden Ring a try and it lagged quite a bit, both on consoles/PC

[arctic grove]

You will never win at this with these type of people.

[silk jasper]

@arctic grove https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-UIDyvFwEw it runs fine at 4k ultra

[silk jasper]

what is ur cpu gpu and res. and graphics

[scenic tartan]

Oh so it runs better at higher resolution?

[silk jasper]

avg fps as well?

[copper fulcrum]

3060, i9

or do I?

[silk jasper]

obviously why would you be playing 720p to begin with in a 3090

it will obviously bottleneck it hence those dips you are seeing

[arctic grove]

Because he still has those settings locked for 2042

[scenic tartan]

They lowered the resolution to show that it happens at any resolution 4k or 720p. You might just not be very sensitive to fps drops.

[arctic grove]

He’s running Elden Ring in 2042 settings

[copper fulcrum]

Cyberpunk also didn't perform well for me, thankfully I was able to refund it.

[silk jasper]

I have rtx 3070 and i7 9700k, i play on ultra but 128v128 during tense moments it drops down to 50

constantly hovers around 60-70

[copper fulcrum]

I mean, when the whole server is at one objective, which can happen on breakthrough that should be expected

128 players in such a small space will typically not perform well for a majority of games

[scenic tartan]

I just play on high and it usually is well above 60 and that's good enough for me

[silk jasper]

@copper fulcrum but if you show perfoverlay, the gpu framerate is consistently in the high 120s in contrast to the cpu maybe with some optimizations it can both balance

[scenic tartan]

Don't notice much difference between high and ultra anyway I only notice a difference below high

[copper fulcrum]

We're also comparing a game with 128 players to a (usually) Singleplayer game

Of course their performance won't be similar when things are firing on all cylinders

[silk jasper]

Is there anything on optimization anyways in the upcoming patches or summer even

[copper fulcrum]

I think that was talked about from the developers over Twitter

[scenic tartan]

I did see improvements for each patch they have done

[copper fulcrum]

Same here, I don't experience any stutters or crashes really

ONLY if like every single player is fighting on objective at the same time like the last sector of Renewal.

or if there's a portal server with like 128 slots on the smallest levels

128 players on Norshar Canals changes you

[white geyser]

🛠️ 🧰

[copper fulcrum]

Hell, Arica Harbor with 128 players is a trip.

[vestal fractal]

is it allowed to hate 42 here

[slim quiver]

You are allowed to not like 2042 yes

[wide violet]

Obligatory bring back bf post

[scenic tartan]

It is not allowed to hate 2142 though

[bronze haven]

hey, what think about of bf2042

[scenic tartan]

it is a good game

[white geyser]

If they bring back 2142, but as a separate game just to be sure they might add it in the portal, 2142 needs to be a reboot alright? no content we need and other things we haven't seen in the original 2142, but it better be good and not garbage.

[scenic tartan]

Can you believe they just GIVE UP on vanguard like this and move on to the next game???
https://exputer.com/news/industry/sledgehammer-games-call-of-duty/

[white geyser]

[scenic tartan]

everybody knows when a studio works on their next game that means the previous one has been abandoned and is dead

[edgy oriole]

RIP vanguard

[copper fulcrum]

I guess this means all support of Vanguard is officially done and gone

[foggy tundra]

F

[white geyser]

If anyone knew that vanguard was gonna be shit, espescially if you play the beta then good for you, you manage to predict what was gonna happen

[hardy leaf]

not generally, but in the case of 2042 , this game was never alive

its dead since the early access lmao

[arctic grove]

depends on the devs and community opinion i guess. so idk

besides, i dont play 2042 cause i litreally spent all for bf4 shortcut kits

It is allowed

Also, I’m pretty sure Modern Warfare 2022 is supposed to release a trailer or something this May, so I’m not even suprised

[hexed mango]

you should of kept it, its really fun now...

[arctic grove]

I wanna pick it up some time, is it still being updated and stuff?

[elder patrol]

Last I checked it got a big update

[hexed mango]

yep

[wide violet]

That rumor about the April update being delayed nothing but a rumor or is it true?

[hexed mango]

they would announce if they delayed it

Its probably generally some time in april now, i would doubt they push it into next month. at the very latest i would assume it comes out later this month, but most probably this month, and based what they said, maybe within the week. however i dunno

[scenic tartan]

I'm starting to be able to spot the difference between people who are unhappy with battlefield 2042 but want to see it improve and succeed
And people who have no intention of ever playing again and want to watch it fail to affirm their beliefs

[hexed mango]

cognitive bias

vehicle game go brrt

[edgy oriole]

Some dude came in here today saying some dev said notes are coming. So I don't think it's delayed.

[hexed mango]

i mean anything is possible

we just have to enjoy the ride at this point

[edgy oriole]

Either way doesn't bother me any. I just play on weekly resets atm

[hexed mango]

speaking of weekly, after a long laggy 500ms+ ping session i got the weekly done

[edgy oriole]

Yes. Just like a true warrior of lag

[hexed mango]

and then right after my ping went to 20ms and hasnt gone to 500ms since, although i get an occasional buffer every once in a while, which sucks

[edgy oriole]

rn my computer acting funky so imma buy a psu tomorrow, if that doesn't work I'll get a gpu, then if that doesn't work I gotta replace my mobo. So imma be away from the game a couple days.

[grave vector]

based mod

[hexed mango]

thats what most of my play consists of

[vestal fractal]

bf42 is a disgrace , and im glad we got bf1

[hexed mango]

so, for my time at this stupid house, i will play lego star wars: the skywalker saga

[hexed mango]

when

[vestal fractal]

we still got*

and frankly i hope the devs know that and im glad i was able to refund my copy

[hexed mango]

really? when

[vestal fractal]

while ago , but i just want to see how they deal with this disaster

[hexed mango]

no. when did i ask

[vestal fractal]

the classic reddit memes , truely an icon in our times

[hexed mango]

if you call that reddit, i think you should take a look in the mirror

[vestal fractal]

i bet u crack mom jokes as well as comebacks ?

go project ur clownism else were dude

[hexed mango]

where*

[scenic tartan]

average refund enjoyer

[arctic grove]

YOU GOT A REFUND!!!! WOOOOO

🥳

[scenic tartan]

"hey guys isnt the game bad, please validate my opinion"

[hexed mango]

ego++

anyways i just beat count dooku up

[arctic grove]

Why

[hexed mango]

im playing lego star wars (new)

[arctic grove]

Why are you still typing 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[hexed mango]

im not. im typing.

[arctic grove]

Better

😡

[hexed mango]

dont get mad at me for your mistake

[vestal fractal]

nah , its just surprising how many delusional people exist in the gaming community i guess

[arctic grove]

😤😤🤬

[hexed mango]

delusional to what

[vestal fractal]

i wanted to see it first hand , and frankly im not disappointed

[arctic grove]

Wanted to see what

[hexed mango]

i think they wanted to see delusion

[vestal fractal]

oh u both truly know what i mean

[hexed mango]

but of what delusion, is the question

[arctic grove]

Not really. You are just tying random shit

[hexed mango]

delusion of the subjectivity of enjoyment?

[scenic tartan]

why do you say people are delusional?

[vestal fractal]

imma go enjoy my functional bf1 game now

[hexed mango]

delusion of the subjectivity of the future?
delusion of a million different things?

aka: no argument

[arctic grove]

It’s the normal 2042 hater. Comes in here and can’t back anything up. Just says “game bad”

And calls it a day

[vestal fractal]

there is a category for that now ? damn u lads give the word fanboy a new meaning

[hexed mango]

the word functional is an interesting choice, are you implying that 2042 is not functional?
I would like to note that the definition of functional is:
"designed to be practical and useful, rather than attractive:"

in what aspect is this criteria present or not present and to what extent do you have evidence of it not being subjective?

[vestal fractal]

i mean a suppose u guys bought the ult edition

[hexed mango]

I*

[arctic grove]

Bros just saying random words and hopes that it makes sense

[vestal fractal]

so its normal to see this reaction

[hexed mango]

is it normal to have games be subjective?

[wide shore]

He thinks we’re just in denial.

[hexed mango]

I, in my subjective answer, would say that everything is subjective, because it is processed and observed by our own cognitive processes. Same way we all believe in slightly different faiths, or none at all, etc. Not to say games = faith, but i am to say that enjoyment of a game // the game itself is subjective in its own nature....

[wide shore]

Man, I paid full price for WatchDogs Legion okay. I didn’t like that game. I just stopped playing it.

[hexed mango]

precisely

no need to grab a pitchfork and try to also bring it down with you...

[wide shore]

Paying more doesn’t mean my opinion on a game changes. If I didn’t like 2042 I wouldn’t play it.

[arctic grove]

Facts are objective. Breakthrough and conquest is objective based

[hexed mango]

for the latter, thats a different topic

[wide shore]

You crafty little-

[vestal fractal]

nah really , im surprised that anyone wakes up and boots 2042 and spend any min on it

[hexed mango]

actually i wake up and go to school

[wide shore]

S038 and counting.

[hexed mango]

well first, i wake up, turn off my alarm, get out of bed, gather clothes, take a shower, ..., go to school, come back, do homework

[arctic grove]

I wake up and check my phone

[wide shore]

Sameeee

[hexed mango]

well yes i do that aswell

my phone is my alarm so thats included ig

[vestal fractal]

again , denial at finest

[arctic grove]

damn did anyone ask?

[hexed mango]

explain to me, which part of this is denial?

[vestal fractal]

the coping here is truly something , this must be what cyberpunk players felt when they paid for that game

[arctic grove]

Denial? I’ve shit on this game countless times. Just check my messages dawg 😭😭

[plain jackal]

I mean, i think BF2042 is fun, Portal aswell, its just im done with the entire delay delay delay of every update that is coming

[wide shore]

You know people can just like the game right? Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean everyone who actually play the game has some sort of ulterior motive.

[vestal fractal]

burn ur copy man

[heavy sleet]

bf 2042 is fun just needs more close combat maps

[elder patrol]

[plain jackal]

What burning? I own it on steam

[arctic grove]

Why? He likes the game. Just because you hate it doesn’t mean other people should stop playing it

[heavy sleet]

the maps are all too big, need some close up fighting like op metro

[vestal fractal]

on an honest note , liking this trash justifies to the devs that the game is worth buying

[plain jackal]

Yeah that would be pretty nice

[scenic tartan]

I'm starting to be able to spot the difference between people who are unhappy with battlefield 2042 but want to see it improve and succeed
And people who have no intention of ever playing again and want to watch it fail to affirm their beliefs

Kyo is someone who has no intention of ever playing it again and just want it to fail to affirm their beliefs and boost their ego

[hexed mango]

you repeated that but yes

[hexed mango]

so if anything, they are the ones coping.

[arctic grove]

you guys are the reason the gaming industry is shit these days

[scenic tartan]

[vestal fractal]

there is no ushc thing as a full priced game to be "improve and succeed" u payed full price for a what suppose to be an improved entry

[wide shore]

Oh no, DICE is gonna think it’s okay to make more games like this because me and a few friends like it. And if I just stop playing this game, maybe the next one will come out good.

[vestal fractal]

the fact that any of u think like that is the reason why we get shit games like BFV and bf2042

[elder patrol]

Spaghetti

[scenic tartan]

elaborate on your ramblings

[arctic grove]

they come up with an absolute shit of a product and you guys start cheering and clapping and defending instead of cutting them off

[wide shore]

I’d love to live in your little bubble world where you think you and your few friends quitting the game is gonna have some grand chain reaction. You’re truly saving gaming man.

[arctic grove]

Every game can be improved no matter the cost.

[hexed mango]

Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance

remember kids! Denial is the path to depression
or as yoda said
"fear leads to hate, hate leads to anger, anger is the path to the dark side"

smth like that

[vestal fractal]

while that is true , lets not forgot that these fuck ups are not something u can improve on

[scenic tartan]

who am i supposed to check with that its ok to have fun with a game

[elder patrol]

Dabda 👌

[arctic grove]

Well why can’t they?

[wide shore]

Hero syndrome at its finest.

[vestal fractal]

the hell u about

[arctic grove]

Tell me

[vestal fractal]

hero syndrome what

[warped pulsar]

maybe some news on the update tomorrow? I hope

[scenic tartan]

why cant they improve the game?

[hexed mango]

we talked about that earlier, there is some talk of the notes coming out soon, i would sit tight, it shouldnt be too long
