battlefield-2042

[slim quiver]

BFV was a good game for him to end his line on the games tho, good for him

glad he doubled down on that game

I don't even blame him for stepping down. After people complaining about women in game etc, I wouldn't want to stick around either

[desert elbow]

It’s a shame people hated on BF5 so much pre release

It limited the game’s potential by a ton due to the public reception alone

[slim quiver]

this

game would have been expanded on

would have seen more maps, more fronts, more weapons

[desert elbow]

At least people have seen 2042’s potential in the gritty-type trailers which gives me a little hope

[slim quiver]

game will never reach what people want it to be tbh

damage is long done and they will never overhaul this game

and no vince wont save it

if anything you're waiting for next game

[desert elbow]

That’s with every game

[cyan trout]

Would be a waste of resources to overhaul

[unborn heart]

.

[hot folio]

at least battlefield 5 was liked by some parts of the community including me

[desert elbow]

That’s true but it would definitely help public perception, look at Battlefront 2

[hot folio]

but 2042 is universally hated

[desert elbow]

That’s definitely not the case

[slim quiver]

Heyo

[slim quiver]

it just wouldnt happen

[unborn heart]

Hi

[slim quiver]

obviously the entire team isnt working on 2042 anymore

people get moved to another project

[hot folio]

keep this in mind

[slim quiver]

game dev has worked like this always

[cyan trout]

There is a community that enjoys the game as it is. There is another part of the battlefield community that doesn't. Neither are wrong. One will buy the next installment the other won't

[hot folio]

A billion dollar company making a triple AAA game only has 1000 players actively playing

[quiet shell]

A manager at DICE did say most of the team that worked on 2042 is still working on the gane

[desert elbow]

^

[hexed mango]

steam doesnt represent everyone playing

[desert elbow]

Yeah that sounds familiar, it’s happened before

[quiet shell]

Im on the small copium that 2042 will get a relaunch for the summer update

[unborn heart]

Steam is about half a platform out of 5

[hexed mango]

even if it was all pc players (which it isnt) look how many console players to pc there are

[hot folio]

good point but 1000players is still bad enough 💀

[unborn heart]

Also, concurrent vs total

[slim quiver]

to be fair cod is that way too

a million console players

[hexed mango]

well its actually 1600 on steam

[cyan trout]

Battlefield wasn't traditionally available on steam until recently as well

[slim quiver]

all these shooters sell more on console

[desert elbow]

Crossplay is in the game too tho, not to mention Origin players are on pc too

[hot folio]

Activision made a dog shit game this year but sold the most copies

[slim quiver]

I love vanguard

[hexed mango]

and epic game players, and EA Desktop players

[slim quiver]

a lot more than 2042 actually

[arctic grove]

I personally don’t think it’ll relaunch or have anything super crazy happen, but I just want them to stick to their word when they say those working on the title are dedicated to improving it as much as possible

[desert elbow]

I hope MW2022 is good, so much potential

[hot folio]

MW19 was amazing

[tribal cradle]

More specialists coming? Guys did you read any of the fan feedback ?

[arctic grove]

Yes. People don’t want them

It is what it is though the game would require way too much work to remove. And they can’t anyways

[slim quiver]

ima actually play vanguard now that i got reminded of it

[quiet shell]

Im judging the games population based on how many people initially join a match with bots backfilling and then comparing the time it takes for the server to fill up. For the past 2 weeks I havent seen a single 128 player server fully fill up. At max it gets to about 44v45 by the end of the match. 64 player it can take up to the middle of a game for the server to backfill as for initial joins. I've seen it as low as 2v2

[unborn heart]

Just don't play CSGO again

[slim quiver]

that could just be a server issue tbf

but who knows

[arctic grove]

I mean I might be at 40-50 on both teams the first few minutes and at the very least ten. Then most fill up

Some games I’ve had it stay 20v20 the entire time which is weird

[unborn heart]

And regions are a thing

[desert elbow]

Yeah it was amazing, I’ve heard rumours of a house breaching mode in MW2022, sorta like Clean House - just imagine how sick that would be

[slim quiver]

2042 channel tho never ceases to amaze me

[hot folio]

that be so much fun, I hope 22 also has a brutal campaign

[cyan trout]

You ever run out of ammo and wish people could give you some but then realize if you aren't running anti air or the recoiless you're wasting a slot?

[arctic grove]

I remember how controversial clean house was on launch

Game was dope lol

[quiet shell]

I live in NA, where it seems most of 2042's population is concentrated since I see posts all the time that people in asia, europe, and australia struggle to find servers

[woven arch]

anyone here a big fan of brand Razer?❤️‍🔥

[slim quiver]

MW2022 has to fix matchmaking or else backlash is coming

[unborn heart]

Historically EU has larger playerbase than NA, actually

Sorry Miki, wrong ping

And I'm too lazy to fix it on mobile

[slim quiver]

all good

[desert elbow]

Oh yeah for sure, I definitely have high hopes considering 2019’s grittiness

[slim quiver]

i want to play bfv but i don't want to run into stupidity

[crisp junco]

Wdym

[hot folio]

Honestly I get used to having horrible teammates and medics that won’t revive me literally a centimeter away from me

[slim quiver]

funny you say that

[hot folio]

they had no limits

[slim quiver]

i main medic

[hot folio]

same

I just do Iwo Jima breakthrough as american

[slim quiver]

I play breakthrough but i like to be JP

[hot folio]

I prefer US because I prefer playing as a medic on the offense

[unborn heart]

I prefer neither, because I don't play BT

[slim quiver]

i just like JP more than american stuff

[cyan trout]

Saw a pair of medics go 150 k to 20 deaths by just tac sliding literally everywhere

[slim quiver]

I don't really like american war equipment or anything

[unborn heart]

I couldn't tell

[hot folio]

Every day a poor American suffers to a type 97 camping on Iwo Jima

[slim quiver]

I use the type 2a

[crisp junco]

Ah so not japanese equipment

[slim quiver]

type 2a was JP equipment. it was a prototype

designed by the JP

Nambu was the one who designed it

[crisp junco]

Yeah a prototype
But not the one in game
The one in game has made up stats that are vastly increased

[hot folio]

I use the m1928a1

[slim quiver]

actually the base stats are lower than what it would be

[crisp junco]

In reality it would be a garbage bin gun made as a last resort for tank crews

[crisp junco]

Drum mag or not?

[hot folio]

Drum mag

[slim quiver]

the projected fire rate for the type 2a was 800 rounds per minute, the base gun without perks was 720 rounds per minute in bfv

so actually its now blown up stats

the perks blow up the stats for every gun

[crisp junco]

Disgusting

[slim quiver]

they built about 150 of the guns tho

so they could actually fire it

[unborn heart]

...it's 1028

[slim quiver]

again with a perk

[unborn heart]

no, vanilla

[hot folio]

I usually get top score on Iwo Jima breakthrough when I’m playing as medic, I need all the ammo I can get in one drum

[slim quiver]

vanilla is 1028?

LMAO damn i thought that was perk side

[unborn heart]

With a perk it's 1200

[quiet shell]

What position at DICE do you work if you dont mind me asking?

[unborn heart]

Obviously it's balanced out by it doing the lowest damage per bullet from all SMGs in the game (tied with Type 100)

[unborn heart]

None, I do localization testing at EA Spain

[hot folio]

I think one thing the whole server can agree on: fuck people who only play Iwo Jima breakthrough to play as Zeroes

[crisp junco]

Yeah but i find the drum disgusting
Im a soldier not some wannabe mobster

[slim quiver]

to be fair

the m2 carbine could only shoot 700 rpm

base game says 830

[hot folio]

The drum mag was actually horrible during the war cause it was hard to reload

[unborn heart]

Yeah, creative liberties are perfectly fine

[hot folio]

but as a medic I use alot of my bullets to delay enemies in smoke

all I worry about is reviving, my job is to revive and that is what I will do

[slim quiver]

yeah making up the stats still doesn't change the equipment manufacturer lmao

[crisp junco]

It was rejected by the army

[hot folio]

wow 💀

[slim quiver]

its a good thing the devs didnt listen to what happened

and just decided to make a game set in ww2 instead

I didnt want to be stuck using a kar 98 the whole game

or a m1 garand and a arisaka

[crisp junco]

But at that point it isnt the same equipment

[hot folio]

am I the only one who prefers battlefield 5 over 1 💀🙏

[slim quiver]

then that means none of the guns are the same equipment

including any american gun there

[unborn heart]

Well, I mean, pretty sure Garand didn't accommodate optical sights during WW2 either

[slim quiver]

garand was 50 rpm btw

[unborn heart]

Again, creative liberties

[slim quiver]

in game?

359

guess its not the same equipment

[crisp junco]

But see
There is the illusion of it because it actually entered production

[slim quiver]

so did the type 2a

over 100 were built

so yes it was in "production"

[crisp junco]

100 is nothing

[slim quiver]

okay so 100 is 0

100 doesn't have a numerical value

its just representative of nothing?

Look if you're going to gatekeep you should try using your head a little bit more to make this work

[crisp junco]

Im saying that in the grander scale of the war 100 smgs is gonna be small enough for the americans to not even notice that the japs are using new smgs

[slim quiver]

okay first of all

do not say "japs"

[crisp junco]

Why

[slim quiver]

Because its offensive?

[unborn heart]

Because it's considered a slur

[quiet shell]

I hope 2042 adds dirtbikes. The abillity to do c4 attacks with your vehicle is very limited in 2042

[crisp junco]

Huh

Its just shorthand for japanese no?

[slim quiver]

especially to me considering I am japanese

[grizzled whale]

wah

[slim quiver]

no it is not the shorthand for japanese

[hot folio]

ima have it one day 💔

[grizzled whale]

"oh no, im only able to use c4's as intended, poor me"

[crisp junco]

Ah ok
I thought it was like calling an australian an aussie

[slim quiver]

No, the americans used the word in ww2

[hot folio]

they used it during the war

[slim quiver]

even tho the term saw use as early as the 1800's

[grizzled whale]

americans ruined everything

[slim quiver]

the americans basically used it as their own in an offensive manner

[hot folio]

it was meant to be offensive for sure, america was pretty pissed at the Japanese

[grizzled whale]

thats war, both sides being pissed off at each other

[quiet shell]

Bro you clearly didnt play BF3 and 4 and it shows

[grizzled whale]

i did, and i hated when people did that

[quiet shell]

It was the best part of those games

[grizzled whale]

its a no skill required way to get rid of a vehicle, i dont see how its fun

[slim quiver]

either way back to the original discussion, whether or not americans in the actual war would have recognized the use of a weapon (even though they actually captured the type 2A and made a model based off it as well later on) it still was part of the army and hence part of equipment that was manufactured and made by the japanese

even if it was not fully utilized in battle, they still designed it, and produced it

hence their equipment

[hot folio]

The American war machine

[quiet shell]

Yes because I assume aiming an rpg is any more skillful

[hot folio]

to be fair Battlefield 5 has some equipment never used in combat, such as the fliegerfaust

[crisp junco]

Not standard issue equipment tho

[slim quiver]

but that doesn't matter lol

we aren't talking about standard issue

that doesn't define who came up with a tool of war

you can't say a tool of war is not japanese when they literally made it

[crisp junco]

So when you say you prefer to use japanese equipment i thought you meant the stuff that was like issued

[slim quiver]

no

[crisp junco]

Ah ok then

[slim quiver]

the word was literal in what i said

"i like to use japanese equipment"

[hot folio]

To be fair late war Japan didn’t really have a lot of their actual own weapons

[slim quiver]

i didnt use standard issued anywhere in there

[hot folio]

didn’t some use M1 garands? Or am I wrong

[slim quiver]

probably

[quiet shell]

If DICE didnt want us to put C4 on jeeps and dirtbikes to ram them into tanks and blow them up. They shouldn't have made it an option

[slim quiver]

captured weapons werent uncommon

[crisp junco]

I just use the arisaka whenever i play the japanese
That thing has my favorite iron sights

[tribal cradle]

Or any other BF game back to BF2..

[hot folio]

The Japanese actually made a copy of the M1 garand it just never saw combat

[crisp junco]

Yup
If the enemy uses it you can capture it

[hot folio]

Japan mostly had American weapons late war

[crisp junco]

I like how americans made a full auto garand prototype after the war

[hot folio]

goddamn

[unborn heart]

Although generally these aren't used unless forces are desperate

[slim quiver]

A lot of post war prototypes were big in production from the 50’s-70’s

The Cold War kicked off early

[slim quiver]

Yeah true

[quiet shell]

I wish the light vehicles in 2042 handled the same way as BF4, a chaotic nature to them but controlled chaos. Able to dodge and weave with them with efficiency. A C4 dirtbike was a tanks worse nightmare if he couldnt hit it

[unborn heart]

Because using captured guns is the fastest way to be shot at by your own allies

[slim quiver]

LMAO

[grizzled whale]

just turn of friendly fire duh

[hot folio]

it’s the IJA what do you expect 💀💀

[slim quiver]

I want to be shot by my own people

[crisp junco]

I know russian svts were popular with german forces

[grizzled whale]

I want to be shot by my own people

[slim quiver]

I really hate how there’s like a bunch more people playing BFV

But it’s all euro servers

I hate having a stupid sleep schedule

[quiet shell]

If I remember correctly. The US and Japan soldiers only ever took weapons as trophys. Not for personal use.

[slim quiver]

Most soldiers did that

Regardless of the nation

Except war trophies in the pacific were different

Stealing skulls, teeth etc

[quiet shell]

Truthfully the only time I recall soldiers ever using an enemy weapon is in a pinch or if part of their job is using enemy weapons

[slim quiver]

War trophies were a weird thing in the pacific war

People collecting fingers and ears

[crisp junco]

Japanese officer swords were a particularly desired trophy for the americans
Same with stg 44s

[hot folio]

The Americans hated the Japanese I’ve seen so many pictures of Japanese skulls

[slim quiver]

Pretty much

I mean it’s not hard to imagine

Americans locked up Japanese Americans into camps

When the war kicked off

[hot folio]

I would say no other forces hated eachother like the Japanese and Americans did

[slim quiver]

I beg to differ

[crisp junco]

The soviets and germans

[slim quiver]

Russia and Poland and Russia and Germans

[crisp junco]

Or japanese and chinese

[hot folio]

oh lord.

[slim quiver]

Well the sino Japanese war was shortly before WW2 kick off but yea

[crisp junco]

But it did continue during ww2
So it counts

[slim quiver]

Tho my great grandfather actually didn’t hate the Americans and he was fighting them so

[unborn heart]

I'm still of opinion that it could and probably should be considered a start of WW2

[crisp junco]

But history is euro-centric

[unborn heart]

not really

[slim quiver]

JP invasion of Manchuria marks WW2 start for me

But people obviously start it with the invasion of Poland

[hot folio]

for me it’s germanys invasion of Poland

got the UK into the war and a lot of Europe, the war was raging in Europe and Asia now

oh boy I hope the snow doesn’t start speaking Finnish

[quiet shell]

I remember being told in school it was for their protection from racially angered Americans

[crisp junco]

Its a shame there's only like 1 winter war game

And like 0 sino japanese wae games

[hot folio]

oh trust me the Americans bullied the Japanese in the US during early war

[crisp junco]

I like how most people forget that the soviets also went into poland

[unborn heart]

...safe to say, not quite the case

[hot folio]

honestly an asshole move‼️

[unborn heart]

In general, Germany and Soviet Union were essentially allies for year and a half plus

[crisp junco]

Allies is a strong word
They did fight in poland
It was mostly just "lets not kill eachother too much for a bit"

[unborn heart]

They also closely cooperated in terms of capturing and murdering educated Poles

[quiet shell]

In all fairness of the perspectives, it probably was for the best that japanese americans got seperated from other americans especially since the US was still a very racist country in the 40s. But putting them in those internment camps was just cruel

[unborn heart]

Divided big chunk of Europe between them

And let's not forget that Soviet Union supplied Germany

[crisp junco]

Once again
So they could make sure they dont kill eachother before they ready

[unborn heart]

For all intents and purposes, it was an alliance

A short-lived one, but they were very much worth each other

[hot folio]

American kids in school would bully Japanese kids during the war before they were sent to internment camps

[unborn heart]

...and instead they were just as mistreated in these camps, with starvation and hypothermia also being a common threat

Not to mention that their property mostly ended up being essentially stolen

[crisp junco]

I think id rather get bullied than put in a camp

[hot folio]

nah trust me you were bullied by everyone

probably physically as well

[crisp junco]

Still better

[hot folio]

when I say the Americans hated the Japanese I am not over exaggerating

[grizzled whale]

isnt america still kinda generally disliked by japanese people ?

[hot folio]

they have good relations actually nowadays

[mossy badge]

america is disliked by everyone

[grizzled whale]

true

[mossy badge]

sadly

[slim quiver]

Nope

[plush coyote]

yep

[crisp junco]

Happily*

[mossy badge]

ok

[hexed mango]

we basically created the government they have today, and they stuck mostly to it

[hexed mango]

depends who you ask

[mossy badge]

lets not talk about america in 2042 channel 😂

imo its a beautiful country )

[keen steeple]

anyway battlebit is better

[crisp junco]

Squad is better

[bright wharf]

Squad runs like shit

[arctic grove]

Squad is so confusing lmao

I was just running around when I played

[crisp junco]

Skill issue

[shell dock]

Do i smell ✨skill issue✨

[arctic grove]

Yes it is a skill issue because I am dogshit at squad

[arctic grove]

Also it is impossible to smell “skill issue” because it’s a virtual thing

[noble scaffold]

[grizzled whale]

not being able to smell skill issues is kind of...

a skill issue

[arctic grove]

What does it smell like

[grizzled whale]

like a skill issue

[arctic grove]

What smell does it have

🟡

[grizzled whale]

skill issue

what kind of question is that, "what does cheese smell like?" smells like cheese

[arctic grove]

What does an apple smell like? An apple

[grizzled whale]

exactly

[arctic grove]

It doesn’t though

It smells like applesauce

[grizzled whale]

and applesauce smells like apple

[arctic grove]

Where do we read the official lore of Battlefield 2042?

[hardy leaf]

just ask any shill and he will tell you all the lore as much times as you want and in whatever language you want

[arctic grove]

Oooh ok thanks how do i contact him,please?

[analog fractal]

There is none

[silk jasper]

i'd be telling a lie if the game accurately represented the supposed lore of this game

[crisp junco]

The lore is that america is still using the abrams in 2042

[hardy leaf]

i know a lot of em here but i just dont want to call anyone out, just observe and when you find one, then just DM him

[analog fractal]

BF2042 Lore:
Europe, China etc all fell, but the US and Russia (L O L) somehow survived. People became no-patties for some reason and joined each faction 50/50 and that's it

[arctic grove]

OK guys

The playable specialists are the main protagonists of Battlefield 2042,right?

[crisp junco]

I think the more accurate lore for the gameplay is that a supersoldier known as "angel" was cloned and used in both sides of the conflict

[silk jasper]

Well well well that was fun 🤪

[crisp junco]

They are the marketeers of 2042

[arctic grove]

OK thanks

[analog fractal]

The actual lore of the game:
Hundreds of clones of a dozen people fight a proxy war for US and Russia over some containers in pristine, empty cities and landscapes while proclaiming "what a time to be alive!!"

[chilly oak]

In game vandalism or the intro to bf2042 or on the website "The world of 2042"

Or by clicking the specialists on the website

[arctic grove]

enjoy some meatier lore https://ia800307.us.archive.org/32/items/StrikeCommanderManual/StrikeCommanderManual_text.pdf

[hardy leaf]

thats literally the actual and true lore

anyways this term no-pats is so cringe really

and if everyone is a refugee displaced from their homelands, why do they fight under flags of Rissia and US

[cedar turtle]

But nobody is keeping score. Not yet at least.

[arctic grove]

If there was an official story-lore comic for Battlefield 2042,would all the playable specialists survived at the end ?

Or would some of them die ?

[slim quiver]

theyd all be dead

[cedar turtle]

Hopefully, I'd hate to see anyone get hurt.

[chilly oak]

The specialists have nothing to do with the lore, type in intro cinematic on YouTube or click The World Of 2042 on the website

[arctic grove]

Oh ok

[arctic grove]

Oh ok thanks for the informations

[chilly oak]

They r just troops, die probably

[arctic grove]

Hm ok

[shy bronze]

I forgot this server existed

[chilly oak]

There is lore for the specialists on the website of u click them tho, like sundance was a criminal

[shy bronze]

@slim quiver who are you

[arctic grove]

Ah ok thanks for these informations

[chilly oak]

Np, first watch the intro cinematic on YouTube or exodus short film

[slim quiver]

who are you?

[shy bronze]

True

[arctic grove]

👌

[crisp junco]

So they could add m4s and aks and people could use familiar guns otheteise theyd get scared

[gleaming flame]

Is this game good yet?

[hardy leaf]

and why they fighting for resources in a wasteland

[runic prism]

Im so fucking done with this game

[desert elbow]

What happened?

[arctic grove]

Just had a rly good game of orbital

[desert elbow]

nice work, orbital is a sick map

[heavy linden]

is that the snow map?

[thorny orchid]

lol

[arctic grove]

It’s the best map

[thorny orchid]

rocket boom map

[merry sigil]

Hey

[heavy linden]

ye ye I figured

[merry sigil]

When’s the patch?

[heavy linden]

I like the map although 2nd phase kinda annoying

[thorny orchid]

next week

[merry sigil]

Awesome can’t wait. Haven’t played much in last two weeks. Constant snow skins pissed me off a tad

[heavy linden]

I am done for now, easter brake, managed to get 2 masteries today

ac 42 and mackay

[thorny orchid]

ye idk what is up with that. They could just give a snow theme and it would apply to all items. Ez stall I guess

[hardy leaf]

why

[clear hull]

honkai moon halo soundtrack/animation has more feeling and tone to it than the whole bf2042 game facts

[arctic grove]

[glossy storm]

2042 has a decent OST.

Obviously, I'd prefer OSTs of previous BF titles over it, but it's not as bad as people say it is.

[mossy badge]

Halo soundtrack is always epic

[chilly oak]

I killed a vehicle with my emp drone blast, didnt know that was possible

[low timber]

I’ve done that as well, didn’t even register it in my brain instantly.

[hardy leaf]

its really bad

i think they even rushed OST

[surreal crystal]

With the patch coming soon, next update wen ??

[grizzled whale]

somewhere in the future

[next isle]

@next isle

[chilly oak]

You kill snipers with a sniper. I kill snipers with a c5 drone. We are not the same.

[grizzled whale]

You use c5 drones.
I have skill, self respect and value as a player.
We are not the same

[glossy storm]

Ew, drones...

[hardy leaf]

lmao bragging about skill, self respect in a broken video game, hardly anyone plays

[grizzled whale]

Lmao talking in a discord of a game you dont even play

[next isle]

C5 drones are life

[grizzled whale]

u lucky im scared to roast you cuz admin and all

[next isle]

Sorry to hear that

[shy latch]

C5 drone to kill snipers isn't a skill.
Killing a sniper that is aiming you using the CG Recoiless is a skill 😏

[chilly oak]

c5 drones are fun

[grizzled whale]

C5 drones are pathetic

[chilly oak]

why? ive had mine shot down plenty of times before i could get close

[whole plume]

Sometimes you just have to gobble the glizzy

[chilly oak]

i just think its a skill issue that you cant hit them

[whole plume]

But sometimes the Carolina mess gobbles you 😩

[glossy storm]

C5 drones is just a bit creative at most.

[hearty flame]

c5 drones are as creative as jihad quads, not very

[swift patio]

Is graphic engine of 2042 frostbite 2?

[upbeat sand]

Guess people are hating 2042's only in battlefield shit

Well the little of it

[upbeat sand]

Updated version of bfv

[swift patio]

so it is not?

[upbeat sand]

Yeah frostbite

[desert elbow]

Frostbite 3 I believe

Some people have been saying it's an upgraded version but I haven't seen any proof

[swift patio]

Future
2021's Battlefield 2042 is using a new version of the Frostbite engine.[56] The exact version is unknown.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frostbite_(game_engine)#Frostbite_3

[desert elbow]

Yeah I read that earlier but the citation is a news article which provides no source

So idk about it

[swift patio]

why is ea hiding it

[upbeat sand]

What if I go onto Wikipedia and change it to version "poopah stinks 1"

[swift patio]

you will be banned from wiki

[upbeat sand]

Trolled

[swift patio]

empty

[upbeat sand]

Trollos

[swift patio]

even more empty

[upbeat sand]

Change it to "shit version"

[swift patio]

there is no decent game to play other than warno and tarkov imo. Waiting for the day before atm

[upbeat sand]

What bout sp games

[swift patio]

you shut up

[cedar turtle]

Anno 1800 is fun

[upbeat sand]

You can play mafia

[swift patio]

it seems fun but not my style

[cedar turtle]

What about Outer Worlds?

It's similar to Fallout only it's enjoyable

[upbeat sand]

You have csgo, valorant, tf2, l4d2,gmod, titanfall, apex, the older battlefeilds, ect

[swift patio]

i enjoyed playing fallout but it gets repetitive after some point

outer world is worth a shot

what i really want is arma 4 and a brand new deus ex

waiting for https://store.steampowered.com/app/1286220/Sea_Power__Naval_Combat_in_the_Missile_Age/ too

[cedar turtle]

The soundtrack is kind of fire. But basically you're cryo frozen on a giant ship sent into space to progress humanity but the hyperdrive fails and the crew responsible starts to eat the frozen people but they eventually die. The ship gets to it's destination like 20 years late and the company tries to cover it all up so they hide the ship, but someone finds it and gets you out.

[upbeat sand]

There's elden ring for another aaa game

Doom eternal multi mode

[swift patio]

sounds like a nice story

[cedar turtle]

That's where your journey starts.

[swift patio]

ty for tips karen. i need to study now. have a nice day.

[cedar turtle]

But wait! There's more!

[wide shore]

I read that, without noticing you were talking about TOW, and I was like “huh, that sounds familiar…”

[charred ivy]

anyone know how to disable the capture points shown constantly on screen? I cant see shit

like people become invisible because they are standing where the capture point is on the screen.

[scenic tartan]

They are adding options for hud opacity for capture points in this coming weeks update

[hasty creek]

Just picked this game up for the first time since launch on PC

[scenic tartan]

So you will be able to make the icons more see thru

[hasty creek]

really great performance game is definitely better

still needs work tho

[arctic grove]

I’m really enjoying the battlefield 3 maps on portal plz don’t take them away

[hasty creek]

def a good time

[flat brook]

2042 is the greatest battlefield game

I think for their next update they should add a 2042 Battle Royale on like hourglass or kaleidoscope

[glossy storm]

'2042 Battle Royale...'

[dusky blade]

Why is it failing so bad then...

[thorn helm]

Happy-

[cyan trout]

I enjoyed them too so installed 3

[near silo]

Chupapi

[hardy leaf]

yes a 256 player battle royale, with larger map and even less buildings

[grizzled whale]

On a flatmap, no cover at all

[hollow verge]

tomorrow patch notes?

[cedar turtle]

I'm at a Bob Evans restaurant. #ama

[soft swallow]

TOMORROW NEW WEEK

[flat brook]

I’m not sure i agree with even less buildings, but I could agree with larger maps in terms of a battle royale base. I think turning the game into a battle royale could seriously work.

[soft swallow]

Actually a 2042 Battle Royale it wouldn't be that bad

[hardy leaf]

tomorrow monday

[soft swallow]

But the BFV battle royale I remember that it didn't last long for the community

[flat brook]

A 2042 battle royale would be far more successful. It would be warzone level

[hardy leaf]

Battle royale genre has been milked to death now

[flat brook]

Battle royales are still amazing and hold so much players, @hardy leaf. Just because they’re not at their peak doesn’t mean they’re dead and milked to death.

[soft swallow]

Are you sure about that? Idunno man, surely they will have to put more modalities for all-out warfare

[arctic grove]

Just because they are popular doesn't mean they are not milked to death

[soft swallow]

I think BR genre it's cool, then of course it depends on the game

[arctic grove]

What's the last battle royale that added a totally genre defying think

Fortnite with shit, building

Sliding is not genre defying do not bring apex

[flat brook]

2042 battle royale with added in weather effects than just tornadoes imagine that.

[hardy leaf]

i think its not fun on an fps game since its just not balanced and luck based for the most part

[arctic grove]

Am thinking of getting 4 is that one any good

[arctic grove]

It will be a gimmick

Actually hyper scape brought alot new to br genre but ubisoft's shitty marketing killed it

[soft swallow]

Oh yes Fortnite has also copied and done very badly but on BF2042 it would be very cool, with the Hazard Zone if there is a slight demonstration of it

[glossy storm]

We have already seen how extensively the weather effects have been used in AOW and HZ.

[flat brook]

And 2042 is one of the biggest games right now so the battle royale would get players it would boost it even more especially if it was free

[soft swallow]

Biggest games?

[flat brook]

I mean it just released not too long ago, it’s not surprising

[arctic grove]

Totally

[glossy storm]

Also, isn't Hazard Zone supposed to be DICE's own response to a BR mode?

[arctic grove]

They should add br to cod bo3 since it is the biggest game rn

[flat brook]

BO3 is not big at all it’s old

2042 is way bigger

[arctic grove]

do you not

[forest snow]

Fuck BR doesn't belong in battlefield

[glossy storm]

What do you exactly mean by 'big'? The map sizes?

[hardy leaf]

its too big to handle

[arctic grove]

💯

[flat brook]

Wdym battlefield games have large battlefields and battle royale has large battlefields they’re made for eachother

[glossy storm]

No BR. They should just work on improving HZ instead.

[arctic grove]

I mean battle royale is just a mod i can get behind it if it isn't a black ops4 situation where they ditch a campaign to make a 1/2 baked piece of shit

[glossy storm]

Along with updates to other modes, of course.

[hearty flame]

a new br couldnt be worse than firestorm but im sure dice would surprise me

[flat brook]

Firestorm was amazing but 2042 could do better. Make it a more standalone battle royale game like warzone

[arctic grove]

They should make among us in battlefield with 6000 players

[cyan trout]

Enjoyable but not as fluid as the newer ones.

[forest snow]

if people want a BR experience go play firestorm or warzone battlefield needs to just focus on CQ and other legacy game modes not give in to what everyone else is doing.

[hearty flame]

which angel is the sussiest

[soft swallow]

I think BF2042 it's very cool but it's too much broken and the gunplay make it unplayble

[arctic grove]

The angel you are at

[glossy storm]

Still surprised no one has made that in Portal. Embarassing, even...

[hearty flame]

Angel does it again

[flat brook]

It’s not broken whatsoever. Everything works.

[arctic grove]

Fuck portal buy gmod

[soft swallow]

Actually not. Very much things doesn't work in BF2042

[forest snow]

everything works no bugs or glitches or anything?

[hearty flame]

"it just works"

[glossy storm]

Everything works for the sake of working. There, finished the sentence...

[soft swallow]

Right now it doesn't seem like a 60 euro game

[forest snow]

mean the traditional battlefield gameplay is broken.

[hearty flame]

its a "live service" game. itll be worth 60 dollars when its finished later

[flat brook]

Not more than any other big game that releases.

[hearty flame]

elden ring laughing in the distance

[flat brook]

Elden ring has some issues

[forest snow]

played 2 games this morning fell through the map twice in a tank.

[flat brook]

Sounds like you need to upgrade your computer

[hearty flame]

only stuttering caused by the anticheat sure

[forest snow]

Ill stick with V and keep being accused of being a cheat.

[flat brook]

V is horrid compared to 2042

[silk jasper]

And many more jokes you can tell yourself ^^

[cyan trout]

Delusions are real

[soft swallow]

Well, the optimization needs to be improved, the game is full of gameplay bugs, the gunplay is unbalanced, the vehicle-infantry ratio is tremendous. I don't know, the gameplay is actually very cool but it's ruined by all of that

[hearty flame]

really feeding the troll here

[acoustic oar]

just ignore him guys

[soft swallow]

What do you have against BFV? I like that game

[arctic grove]

Iv played bf1 bfV and now the 2042

[warped pulsar]

Update soon, hope it fixes the game enough

[arctic grove]

Why is it “horrid” compared to 2042?

[solid imp]

I know it wasn't exactly the topic but made me think of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Fj6RdFpDc4
wish one of the 2042 maps was in here somewhere but it really makes you appreciate the amount of work to make some of these

I love that rocket league is the baseline 😂 I've put way too many hours into that game

[cyan trout]

4 will feel clunky. Wouldn't buy it unless it's like $10

[opal cedar]

huge maps

eve online is so huge i played that game

[flat brook]

I mean, generally older games have less capabilities than newer games, so it is to be expected that 2042 would be upgraded to surpass V.

[hollow arch]

2042 is ok, it’s just the older players that don’t really like it. Specialists ain’t going away, the will probably be around for the next bf game.

You can’t teach an old dog new tricks

Hopefully they do a better job with the specialist implementation, but they are hardwired in the game. It would take months to pull them out

[pearl zenith]

Those who used to play cod are used to specialists but some of them seriously need reworks

[livid latch]

How do we not even have little things like k/d stats for 2042? fucking flop this is

[pearl zenith]

I was hoping tracker will have that but even they haven't done that

[flat brook]

Btw to all my american and russian friends out there happy easter

[livid latch]

i do feel as if ea has mugged us all off with this one

[flat brook]

2042 is an amazing game, and if you feel mugged, that’s not on EA, that’s on you.

[pearl zenith]

Let's hope this week's update won't bring 400+ bugs

[livid latch]

so you think 2042 is a finished game? stfu 😂 we dont even have stats

[elder patrol]

Thanks pete Davidson you too

[upper jacinth]

Damn this guy is trying his hardest to justify the 60+ bucks he got scammed out of

[flat brook]

EA didn’t feel it was necessary to add stats, that’s fine, doesn’t mean it isn’t a finished game. It’s just stats.

[upper jacinth]

It's alright dude, we all fell for it. Nothing to do but accept the loss and move on

[pulsar vine]

I mean if we get a massive update bugs fixes wise once a month they can definitely get this game up to speed pretty fast

[flat brook]

‘Fell for it’ ‘accept the loss’ what are you on about

[livid latch]

lool you must get paid by them

[pulsar vine]

But this update probably been in the works for 2-3 months

[upper jacinth]

You coping out of your mind lmao, that's what

[flat brook]

Y’all if you don’t like battlefield 2042 maybe don’t use this chat lol

[pearl zenith]

I mean I don't understand why didn't told us they were developing this big ass update or even give us the update separately that way we didn't had to wait this long

[livid latch]

you shouldn't use the internet

[upper jacinth]

Why not? It's hilarious to see people trying to defend this miserable excuse of a game

Even after all these months

[flat brook]

‘miserable excuse’ i’d like to see you do better. It’s a great game.

[pulsar vine]

They have said before that if they mention even one additional bug that’s getting fixed (a noticeable one) and it isn’t there or there on time then a vocal part of the community bashes them

[livid latch]

I think I could if I had the same funding..

[upper jacinth]

With that attitude, do you also not complain when you're served literal shit at a restaurant because 'theyre chefs and I can't do better'?

[pearl zenith]

Let's just hope the game will be at least playable, I'm preparing for the worst rn lmao

[upper jacinth]

I am a consumer, I have the right to complain when i didn't get what i paid for

[livid latch]

exactly that

[upper jacinth]

Which is a playable game

[flat brook]

All advertised features are in the game. It’s your fault.

[willow sky]

yeah same, hoping this update brings a lot of fixes

[upper jacinth]

The game is unplayable, I did not ask for this nor did they advertise it

[glossy storm]

No matter what they announce or add, they'll be met with immense backlash (except maybe during S1 reveal). That's the state of the community RN.

[livid latch]

That's a lie 😂

[upper jacinth]

Anyway gotta blast, thanks for my monthly five minutes of entertainment. Keep coping

[soft swallow]

Agree

[arctic grove]

Cool cool

[pulsar vine]

True but verbally abusing a dev or devs is unacceptable under any circumstance I can’t see why people go out of the way to do that, if you want to complain you can but remember they are human too and don’t deserve that stuff but a vocal part of the community don’t understand that

[flat brook]

Wtf, lol, did they lie about portal or hazard zone? did they lie about tornadoes? did they lie about the 128 players? All advertised features are in the damn game

[soft swallow]

They lie about it was a good composed game

[pulsar vine]

Marketing is a powerful tool

[flat brook]

The game works. It works well. I don’t run into many bugs whatsoever.

[soft swallow]

Yup, do you remember the announcement trailer whit Kickstart My Heart? Good times

[tall yew]

staight 📠

[elder patrol]

Now that i disagree with

[soft swallow]

"It works well", prove it to me

[livid latch]

lol they literally lied off the bat about portals levelling system.. season 1 is also way behind schedule. they lied about the performance, they lied about the team coms, they have literally taken our money and done the bare minimum if you can even call it that

[pulsar vine]

Nope not at all but a good marketing team can really do a good amount of damage but could also do a bit of good

[soft swallow]

I hope they will manage to render BF2042 as they showed in the gameplay trailers

[livid latch]

This is also a lie.. you have no friends

[tall yew]

Game runs fine now. Only bug I still run into is no ADS bug. If you say other wise you just hating

[glossy storm]

Technically, no. Portal initially launched with the levelling system enabled. They had to disable it due to many instances of XP farming.

[soft swallow]

Bruh this is bullism :I

[pulsar vine]

You know I’d love that to be the case but if it’s from a CGI trailer won’t happen if it’s from a gameplay trailer then it’s very possible

[flat brook]

I have friends and a girlfriend. You know nothing of me lol

[livid latch]

girlfriend is stolen from kanye..

[soft swallow]

Well I talk about a gameplay trailer

[tall yew]

If you want boring gameplay with no bug they have a COD discord

[flat brook]

I’m a college kid

[soft swallow]

I was thinking primary school kid

[arctic grove]

That’s weird cuz I feel like the action going on in the gameplay trailers can happen in the game itself.

[scenic tartan]

When the patch notes drop who wants to bet that the rabid haters will be like

"100 of these aren't even bugfixes! This is another SCAM! OMG!"

[tall yew]

COD is 👉 way

[soft swallow]

Depends, which Cod?

[glossy storm]

NGL, interested to see how Kaleidoscope will play after the update. Hopefully, better...

[flat brook]

Uh lol no, i’m pretty sure i’ve completed my college algebra and most of my gen ed classes Mk lol

[pulsar vine]

Yeah it’ll be a tough task though, I doubt 128 players would be easy to make things with (rendering wise and like projectiles and other things) and the old Gen being developed probably adds a lot of hassle but it would’ve had to be done

[soft swallow]

Cool

[livid latch]

only pretty sure?

[pulsar vine]

Likely and I feel bad the whoever (Devs wise) personally cops those messages

[flat brook]

I’m saying pretty sure in a sarcastic manner, but it’s okay if you don’t get that. Sometimes people are born in a way where they don’t get sarcasm but they have therapy and special ed classes to help

[tall yew]

At this point IDK what you people want. Maybe its time to move onto another franchise. Does it not get old complaining about a 8 month old game?

[soft swallow]

Yes. But I trust Dice, I'm sure they'll get the job done

[livid latch]

I was also being sarcastic.. maybe you should book yourself in to one of them therapy classes kiddo, they might be able to explain to you why 2042 is failing

[scenic tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/cope-cope-harder-seethe-cope-and-seethe-penguins-of-madagascar-gif-23735093

[pulsar vine]

That’s true, they’ll be stuck with this game for 2 years minimum and they have a legal obligation for just four seasons and then they can toss it afterwards but I’ll hold out, after all I was apart of the Anthem player base after 2.0

[soft swallow]

It's not failing, it's just in a bad time... or maybe it's failing, idunno, we'll see I guess

[flat brook]

Woah, woah, calm down. Are you ok?

[pulsar vine]

They basically have to do that

[livid latch]

currently failing imo.. redemption is still a possibility

[glossy storm]

Well, S1 content isn't out yet. So, it's too early to judge, IMO.

[livid latch]

i will be better once dice sort out 2042..

[glossy storm]

Fingers crossed on those feedback loops not going to waste...

[flat brook]

If your mental stability relies on whether a game can be fixed or not, maybe you should seek out therapy and they can make you better without needing to rely on whether a game is updated.

[pulsar vine]

I think now they have a solid plan now, after all they do have A LOT of feedback on all aspects of the game

[tall yew]

I cant wait for all the COD sheep to give their feedback so the game turns into warzone .5

[chilly oak]

HA i just killed a casper doing c5 drone with my c5 drone

[livid latch]

you have no mental stability pete..

[pulsar vine]

Think they’ll be fine, MW22 is this year and MW19 was great

[cyan trout]

It doesn't matter what they change with season one to me this game doesn't feel like battlefield. There is no fixing that. I will see what the update and season 1 have to offer. Will be shocked if it starts to feel more like battlefield

[glossy storm]

Funny, 'cause Janz was earlier talking about a BF2042 BR mode on the lines of Warzone...

[flat brook]

I hope you seek out the help you need, but I can tell that conversation can’t go anywhere else so I wish you the bestest Easter

[tall yew]

What Battlefield game feels most like battlefield to you?

[pulsar vine]

To be fair a very good set of updates can fix that non battlefield feel that you experience obviously if they make it what your after that is : )

[cyan trout]

I have enjoyed everything between BC2 to 5.

[cyan trout]

Time will tell.

[tall yew]

When they started making the series more and more like COD4 👌

[pulsar vine]

Regardless even if they don’t fix this game and make another BF title they won’t have anyone backing them they are basically forced to fix this game for the future of the franchise and possibly the studio

[tall yew]

2042 is closer to 1942 and BF2 then any of the newer games

That's a fact

[pulsar vine]

Well Studios cause of Ripple effect being a DICE studio technically speaking

But that makes me wonder is Ripple effect still working on the game?

[cyan trout]

That's optimistic of you. People will fall for the normal line of "We have learned from our mistakes" and pre-order and buy into the marketing even if it isn't what they want in the beta test because the publisher will just say don't worry it's an old build.

[pulsar vine]

Well very true, and even then there are still newcomers who might see it as the messiah, but that’s what makes a good marketing team effective for EA

[glossy storm]

I never pre-order games, LMAO...

[soft swallow]

Yup, I agree whit this, but I hope it will not fail, I paid 100 euros on that

[glossy storm]

Steam sales, my beloved.

[old echo]

lmao 100 euros

[pulsar vine]

Cries in $160 AUD

[old echo]

Sorry for you

[soft swallow]

60 euros on the game + 40 for the pass

[cyan trout]

[old echo]

I bought it for like 30 USD

[cyan trout]

Same $30 and not buying a pass

[soft swallow]

For the actual situation of the game 30 USD is very much too

Lol

[hexed mango]

• is

[soft swallow]

I mean, it's like a free-to-play game

[old echo]

I do enjoy the portal contents, I think it worth the price

[soft swallow]

Thank you bro, never studied english

[thorny oxide]

So wheres my content?

[hexed mango]

season 1 comes out summer

[cyan trout]

I agree but $30 to play a game with some friends is a steal

[thorny oxide]

5 months after release and not an ounce of content

[hexed mango]

if you’d read what they’ve been saying, they delayed s1 so they could fix bugs like the 4.0 update coming next week

[soft swallow]

I like gameplay of Hazard Zone and All-Out Warfare but we all know what's the situation, I pay 60 euros for a campaing too, not only for the multiplayer

[soft swallow]

Yes it was the best decision to do

[cyan trout]

They have had patches. Those don't count?

[hexed mango]

well they advertised it as online only. so you should have read that first

[soft swallow]

Are old patches

[pulsar vine]

And their all in the studio again too so I expect it to start to get a bit faster atleast to my knowledge

[hexed mango]

they’ve had a patch a month

[thorny oxide]

Patches fixing bugs that shouldn’t have been in the game at launch

[soft swallow]

I mean, major updates

[hexed mango]

• they’re

also that doesn’t make sense

[hexed mango]

uhm i they’ve all been pretty major

with the last two, 3.3 and now 4.0 being the larger ones

[pulsar vine]

I’d assume it’s faster to work in studio then at home

[wide shore]

Spoken like somebody who’s never coded anything in their lives

[hexed mango]

that really doesn’t change why they are focusing on bug fixes instead of season 1 content

[soft swallow]

Bro, they were fast with the release of the game as well, it doesn't seem like it went very well so I would say let them work in peace

[thorny oxide]

When a game is borderline unplayable with absolutely no content at release you have to think to yourself “have i made a mistake?”

They had to patch in a scoreboard 4 months after release

[hexed mango]

it’s not unplayable however, spoken from someone with 400+ hours

[tall yew]

Games not that buggy. If you want a basic game with no bugs COD is 👉 way

[pulsar vine]

True I didn’t think I was referring to that must’ve had a mind fart 🙃

[thorny oxide]

Like are you fucking kidding me

[old echo]

I played 230 hrs, feel ok Tbh

[soft swallow]

I repeat, which Cod? 'Cause Cold War and Vanguard are buggy mess

[wide shore]

Because they tried something else with the scoreboard. There was one at launch, but people didn’t like it.

[hexed mango]

you replied to my message saying how they delayed s1. you were referring to it

[edgy oriole]

when new patch drops my revive stonks gonna skyrocket.

[old echo]

Really enjoy 128 breakthrough

[pulsar vine]

Cold War zombies was amazing

[hexed mango]

#other-games

[thorny oxide]

What is it with this trend of releasing a broken game at launch, then slowly patching it into playability

[soft swallow]

Meh

[hexed mango]

i mean the last game that is true for is 4, (for the most part) v and 1 didn’t really need major reworks in live service

[cyan trout]

Live service

[edgy oriole]

live service

[tall yew]

How old are you? You must not have played 1942, 2, BF4, etc

[wide shore]

Wouldn’t say it is a trend as much as it is, Battlefield’s mantra

[forest snow]

I miss battlefield 2 😦

[tall yew]

Pretty normal for a BF game

[soft swallow]

We all knew it wasn't going to be a big patch

[hexed mango]

and dice did it with swbf2 and that game was really good going into its live service retirement

[soft swallow]

Battlefront 2 it's so cool

[wide shore]

Releasing broken Battlefield games is like, DICE’s speciality. It shouldn’t be, but it is.

[hexed mango]

plus the good thing about swbf2 is there hasn’t been another one since lol

[thorny oxide]

Well it’s not working because less than 2k ppl are playing

[pulsar vine]

Huh I did my bad, I was just saying in general that updates could release a bit faster cause of the fact that they’re in studio, not so much in relation to the delay of the season, but a good bug fix update once a month is pretty solid

[hexed mango]

they’re good at fixing it

[thorny oxide]

Game was literally DOA

[soft swallow]

Actually less than 1k

[hexed mango]

actually more

[wide shore]

That game effectively killed lootboxes. Thank god.

[thorny oxide]

1950

[cyan trout]

I think now that the SW contract with Lucas Films isn't exclusive to EA there will be a lot of good ones

[hexed mango]

glad

[soft swallow]

Really? I read that they were like 970

[hexed mango]

ea is out of the picture iirc

[edgy oriole]

I NEED SKIN BOXES

[thorny oxide]

Thats what it was a few days ago

[hexed mango]

yeah when you’re sad and count only steam.

[edgy oriole]

you read steam numbers

[hexed mango]

real “sTeAm ChArTs” moment

[thorny oxide]

The consoles attribute maybe a few thousand at best

[wide shore]

And with 128 player lobbies, that’s more than enough people to play with.

[hexed mango]

plus even steam is almost 2k rn, and from all my experience playing pc (which stream only makes up 1 out of 4 platforms of) is not the most played platform

[wide shore]

So, I couldn’t care less.

[cyan trout]

And steam is only one store front on pc

[slim quiver]

EA will still be making star wars games

[hexed mango]

in like every game i play on cross play; it’s a 1:3 pc to console ratio

[soft swallow]

Well it's impossible to play whithout cross-play

[edgy oriole]

single player star wars games

[hexed mango]

really? i thought jfo2 was cancelled or smth cause they didn’t sign a new contract

[thorny oxide]

More ppl are playing BFV than 2042

[cyan trout]

EA just lost exclusivity to the SW franchise

[hexed mango]

ah i see i remember that now

cause ik eclipse isn’t being developed by ea, and i think kotor is being developed by sony or smth weird

[slim quiver]

nah not how that works

JFO2 coming as well as respawns star wars shooter

they announced the shooter even as the contract was expiring

[edgy oriole]

we need another star wars republic commando

[slim quiver]

what is said in the contract as the license is now available to anyone that partners

which is why you even see aspyr making kotor remake

and david cage making a star wars eclipse game

[cyan trout]

Ubisoft Massive too

[slim quiver]

lucas films games is partnering with many companies now

yes ubisoft massive

i also expect LOTRO to open back up btw

[hexed mango]

lel yes

[slim quiver]

amazons show drops in september

the same time LOTRO will be doing a game overhaul

so expect new LOTR games to be in the making if amazon strikes gold

[hexed mango]

ok now mod has brought this too far off topic

[edgy oriole]

lotr will never kick off but hopefully it will one day

[tiny imp]

The new lotr is the most expensive movie in all time. They said

[hexed mango]

lol really

[tiny imp]

yes

[edgy oriole]

last good lotr was BFME2 and conquest

[tiny imp]

if the new avatar 2 isn´t more espensive. i dont know

but for now is lotr

[hexed mango]

beating the $300 million of pirates at worlds end?

[edgy oriole]

i miss pirates of the caribbean online.

[hexed mango]

was fun

[foggy halo]

they will have faith eventually

[wide shore]

[hexed mango]

[thorny oxide]

The beta was evidence that the game needed to be delayed

[hexed mango]

who

[wide shore]

That’s why it did

[wide shore]

This is my favorite

[thorny oxide]

Like who asked for specialists in a battlefield game?

[hexed mango]

wait who

[thorny oxide]

What is this call of duty?

[arctic grove]

Deal with it😎

[hexed mango]

L + ratio + bozo

[glossy storm]

Specialists aren't horrible in 2042. It's just the implementation that needs to get better.

[wide shore]

Ratio + L + You fell off

[hexed mango]

i had a dream that one of the new specialists was a bird

[thorny oxide]

[wide shore]

You’re not huffing enough

[glossy storm]

Well, I hate the shitty characters they came up with. Would prefer to see them replaced with regular soldiers that actually look like they're fighting a war.

[thorny oxide]

And their cringe ass voice lines

[glossy storm]

Angel dies again!

[wide shore]

I think they just need to nix the voice lines. Everything else is whatever

[tall yew]

Replace the female specialists with male ones and we G2G

[wide shore]

Cringe take

[trail blaze]

[tall yew]

Which female specialist isnt cringe worthy?

[glossy storm]

Funny.

[hexed mango]

i honestly don’t love this argument cause i like having actual characters, allows for more imo but whatever

[tall yew]

old medic lady and flying squirrel? come on man!

[hexed mango]

original concept art makes her look 20

idk why they changed it lol

[cyan trout]

Lol flying squirrel

[edgy oriole]

falck looks better now than she did in concept

[cyan trout]

😂

[hexed mango]

idk if adding 40 years to age looks better in all cases

[edgy oriole]

i think. someone posted it once before so my memory fades me

[wide shore]

I liked concept Falck, but I have no problem with old lady Falck.

[edgy oriole]

she looks like a hot robocop

[glossy storm]

Well, I don't like seeing clones of 1-dimensional characters, but that's just me, I guess.

[wide shore]

But you’re fine with clones of drones

Previous games had 4 character models per team

Total of 8 per round.

Shit I see the BF3 Americans and I just see the BFFs

[edgy oriole]

if thats the concept art i dont like that at all

[hexed mango]

falck

[glossy storm]

At least, they didn't have specific names and didn't have embarrassing lines at the end of every round.

[tall yew]

I like having the different skins for specialists because you can change your strat based on who you're fighting

[tiny imp]

lol have anyone notice their license in loading time is still year 2021 and not 2022

[hexed mango]

mackay’s lines are good 😎

[edgy oriole]

this concept art is worse than i remember

[glossy storm]

I'm not overconfident, I just suck more than everyone else.

[tiny imp]

when you start the game with boat loading. you can clearly see licence year 20221

[hexed mango]

release version date

[arctic grove]

Yo she looks like grown up Eleven💀

[hexed mango]

not that one the before ones

[tiny imp]

a little bit lol yes

[glossy storm]

IK, I just made a joke about one of his lines.

[hexed mango]

it is, 2021, that’s the legal release

[wide shore]

Of all things to complain about, the number on the main menu should be dead last.

[thorn helm]

https://youtu.be/P3gVkuKoPVw

[tiny imp]

If you start bfv, year 2022 license is there

[hexed mango]

this game doesn’t have to get a new license till november 2022 i believe

[edgy oriole]

november sounds right. maybe october

[hexed mango]

or idk maybe sooner

[cyan trout]

More than enough for a sandbox arcade fps

[hexed mango]

or they just literally haven’t had time to update the number because so many people have been taking dumps on them

Lots of funny gamer words, but I assume it was a slur.

[compact sleet]

What’s everyone’s thoughts on adding bombers into 2042?

[edgy oriole]

more chaos more love

[radiant prism]

How so?

[gleaming flame]

I just played a round of battlefield. It wasn’t all that bad.

[compact sleet]

Idk do you think if a type of bomber was added to 2042 would it fit in and be an important part of most games?

[lament plank]

I assume he means an updated A10 like what they did with the condor, and then some RU.

I’d rather have an actual jet that’s for ground attack and one that’s only for air attack and not this nonsense of F35 does everything

[radiant prism]

It’d be nice, but AA would have to probably get some slight reworks in that stance. I guess it’s have to be like the A10 or the Frogfoot (even though the A10 is actually a pretty competent dogfighter and the Frogfoot is outdated as fuck IRL)

[lament plank]

Well they’d be “futurized” lol

[radiant prism]

It’d be nice, but needs reworking in its current state. But yeah like @lament plank said

[radiant prism]

Yeah, I guess I’d rather see like an Su-35(?) than a Frogfoot, something that fits more into a modern role

[lament plank]

Lmao oh yeah since wildcat AA is disgusting trash…sorry devs but there’s no way a stinger from shoulder should do more damage than a vehicle mounted AA

[compact sleet]

I think an A10 would be very good but I was thinking smthn with carpet bombing capabilities

[radiant prism]

Like we’re seeing the Ka-50 instead of the Mi-28

[radiant prism]

Carpet bombing isn’t really a thing IRL anymore, it’s kind of a thing of the past. Precision bombing is the name of the game, and DICE would be hard pressed to find something likewise (for carpet bombing) that fits believably into the game

[lament plank]

Could easily have cluster munitions that just drop a bunch of frag grenades on an area from an A10 for close in air

[compact sleet]

Yes but do you think that carpet bombing would be a broken concept and completely unbalanced in game?

[bleak nebula]

oh no war crimes

[lament plank]

Lol well I mean….it’d fit…

[radiant prism]

Balancing air has always been tricky. People are already fairly frequently upset with Helo balance (Condors/Hinds, Nightbirds), we don’t need another thing that has historically been annoying to infantry mains (carpet bombing)

[bleak nebula]

true

[radiant prism]

And we REALLY don’t need another Ilya Muromets

[compact sleet]

Lmao. Ok back to your idea of precision bombing. Do you think that would work? Cause I’ve always had a great deal of fun with bombers in BFV

[lament plank]

Night birds need to have their mini guns nerfed into the ground. There is no way that they should be able to shred any air, from up to 300m away just because they threw enough rounds down range

[lament plank]

We have it, AGMs are already in game to precision hit vehicles. They just don’t do enough damage, and even when they do, someone snipes your kill and you get zero credit for it

[radiant prism]

If done right, absolutely IMO. Unguided rocket strikes were fun in BFV as well and would fit perfectly into a modern air support role for an attack-style aircraft. Add something like laser-guided bombs, and you’ve got something that works really well with in game mechanics.

[lament plank]

I love doing 90% damage to a tank from my hokum, only to be waiting for my reload and watching someone else kill it while I get no credit for my unlocks

Lol that would mean that spotter scope would need to be fixed, to put in the laser. But considering you can’t even get assists on targets you designate now…

[radiant prism]

That’s a problem of fixing the way assists work, not necessarily changing major mechanics.

Also, it mechanically would probably work just the same as an AGM, just with more restriction on the angle and range it can be used from

[lament plank]

Well here’s hoping it gets fixed, my hokum badge would be a lot shinier if they did

[radiant prism]

Agreed, I think that’s something that needs fixing in general anyways. There’s a lot of changes planned for this week, and I wouldn’t be shocked if that’s one of them.

[lament plank]

Lol they haven’t even released the notes

I still doubt it’ll even be this week, with no notes out to even get feedback

Can’t wait to see them repeat their mistakes, not consult community about things and just throw changes out there without testing

[radiant prism]

They said they’re gonna release the notes early this week before the update. That probably means notes Monday or Tuesday and update Wednesday or Thursday

The patch notes will very likely have been influenced on a lot of the community feedback they did over the past couple months.

[compact sleet]

I meant more along the lines of anti infantry. Although you are right I hate having to do 2-3 passes with AGM just to kill a tank or a wildcat

[lament plank]

Lol they need to realize that public tests help with these things. PUBG has a whole test server client to make sure changes are actually viable

[radiant prism]

Anyways I gotta go, I’m out go karting and my race is up next.

[lament plank]

It’s absolutely disgusting that it takes the same amount of AGMs to kill a tank, and also kill a bolte…like there’s no physical way a bolte has more armor than a tank

Or a wildcat vs tank

[compact sleet]

I hate how the bolte isn’t 2 shot to AGMs

[lament plank]

Or the jeep

[compact sleet]

It’s under light vehicles like the hovercraft or the hero thing and those are each two shot

[lament plank]

Open cab vehicle gets hit by AGM guess what, you’re dead

[compact sleet]

It is two shot is it not

[lament plank]

Hmmm I haven’t shot one in awhile, as it barely gets used

But I highly suspect that the AGMs do a % based damage rather than an actual number. You hit a bolte it goes to the same % as a tank goes to after 2 AGMS. Something along lines of “AGM x 45% target health”

[chilly oak]

What time patch notes tomorrow

[lament plank]

I mean it’s almost like there’s many ways for them to communicate such things through the internet and yet…

[compact sleet]

That sounds about right

[lament plank]

Which is why it makes no sense that stingers do 50-51% from a shoulder fired but wildcat does like 45ish as well?

[compact sleet]

Idk I don’t usually get hit by wildcats and when I do I’m usually sweating at the user not paying attention to how much damage it does. I think it leaves me somewhere around 30-40 hp tho (in a jet)

[lament plank]

Lol oh you get hit by them in jets? I didn’t think the turrets could even track them because oh right they forgot that an AA turret needs fast tracking

[white geyser]

The AA turret, the accuracy hitting the Jets and chopper needs to be fix

[compact sleet]

Well see that’s the thing I’m not sure if I got shot by the wildcat or another jet

[copper fulcrum]

What you didn't account for is me, the Sundance who is now right behind you, holding a detonator for the C5 that's on your exhaust

[compact sleet]

You need to be nerfed

[forest snow]

Feel in 2042 you need to run a stinger or wildcat 24/4

[arctic grove]

stingers only work half the time. Its hit or miss.

Yo

Sup guys

Hi, ea launcher app doesn’t work…

[obtuse trench]

Operation Metro on BF2042 yet?

[neon void]

What

[sleek latch]

What do you mean?

[dim hatch]

no, that's me, a McKay, standing on a lightpole with the detonator for the C5 I just dropped on your turret.

[wide shore]

Or just shoot the helicopters out of the sky with an M5. It’s easy enough

[lament plank]

M5 shouldn’t have lock-on ability, future or not

Dumb fire and forget system, put in javelins for lock on

[sleek latch]

Balance ✅

[severe carbon]

I hate nightbirds as much as any other infantry player, but I wouldn't say the miniguns need to be nerfed into the ground. The nightbird miniguns are fairly difficult to use, even pro players have trouble with them sometimes. I wouldn't mind a nerf on the rockets, but the minis im not as concerned with

[wide shore]

I mean doing it without lock-on

[lament plank]

The miniguns barely get used as anti infantry, rockets are the go to. The miniguns need to have their dps to vehicles nerfed. The only guns on it that should be able to kill vehicles is the 30mm canons

[severe carbon]

vehicles can move fast and be hard to hit though, especially other helicopters, that takes skill to track

[frigid scroll]

They are too lazy to even fill lobbies with bots now I’m joining games and I’m the only person in them

[severe carbon]

on all out warfare? Ive only seen that on portal

[frigid scroll]

It’s infantry conquest but that’s normally a really popular game mode and don’t they normally at the very least throw a few bots in

[severe carbon]

I thought that mode had bots when I played it, but maybe not. I was disappointed to see armored transports still in the mode, I wanted true infantry conquest with only like quad bikes and stuff for vehicles so I didnt play it any more 😔

[frigid scroll]

Yeah doesn’t make much since to have an infantry game mode with vehicles

[chilly oak]

hourglass is so good on breakthrough, i swear more of the city is available to play on

[wide shore]

It’s the same amount

[compact sleet]

Wish more of the city was available and there was more than just a ground floor and a roof in the buildings

[chilly oak]

a lot of the city is available on breakthrough for hourglass on kaleidoscope....it feels like it

[compact sleet]

Not so much kaleidoscope

I just wish you had access to a lot more of the skyscrapers
