battlefield-2042

[solid imp]

only for boris though right?

[clear quail]

the horror when u hear the beep from Boris' turret but can't find the damn thing

[copper fulcrum]

Well, his turret gets 3D Spotted for you when it detects you

[solid imp]

only worse beeping is the Ranger making that sound when it's nearby

[edgy oriole]

i love killing boris turrets. they so ez to kill.

[dapper river]

I believe you get spotted on the minimap for teammates.

[chilly oak]

the horror when ur behind 10 people about to get a multi scatter kill but the boris turret spots u

[copper fulcrum]

Oh yeah the Rangers can be one shot by rockets now

[clear quail]

shoots from the bushes like it's the Vietnam War

[solid imp]

which should have always been the case... how does the little doggie champ multiple direct hit rockets at all lol

[chilly oak]

flashback conquest is so good, its on rn for anyone wondering

[dapper river]

it should 3d-spot the operator as well if we're gonna go that route, smh.

Or just rollback the change that makes his turret stay active while he's downed. too many cringe boris players staying in the downed screen praying the turret gets a kill. Or a compromise: Make the turret "disabled" but still alive while the boris is downed, and it re-activates if the boris is revived.

[clear quail]

imma try

[next onyx]

I assume only for Boris but it's still pretty fucking dumb.

Considering how much power that sentry has and the fact that everyone can place them willy nilly it's a problem.

I wouldn't mind if it did 18 to 15 max damage for the sake of keeping people away, Not instantly aimbotting them.

It's version in the beta was alright since it kept you down but didn't punish you too much.

[solid imp]

it's a real low grade aimbot though

[copper fulcrum]

I swear that thing gets more accurate when it's owner dies

[next onyx]

Yeah there's also legal aim bot in the form of snap aim lol.

[copper fulcrum]

Have y'all ever died by meleeing someone right next to their ranger?

So it technically counts as you meleeing yourself?

[wide shore]

Pretty sure you still get the distance bonus if you’re down near the turret.

[copper fulcrum]

and this C5 I have will solve all of my problems

[chilly oak]

i only see rangers in the middle of nowhere, not actually with someone

[dapper river]

and they always prioritize my damn drone instead of shooting ground infantry lol

[arctic grove]

cant say im not somewhat impressed with this update

[clear hull]

so am assuming that performance is not considered for PC, assuming that i just literally read the whole update logs?

[arctic grove]

bravo dice?

[clear quail]

nobody wants to even play it, hurts bad

[chilly oak]

im in a full lobby rn

[clear quail]

u NA?

[edgy oriole]

when i was using caspers drones i realized rangers hard focus drones. so now i call them in all the time to combat the drone wars.

[clear hull]

PC performance is still god awful and dont even see any mention about PC performance at all

[solid imp]

hated this while trying to his my casper mastery but now it's a really useful tactic.. spot on mate.

[runic prism]

Terrible game

[wide shore]

I like the boost in points to heals and resupplies. But idk if I like lowering the score for playing the objective.

[chilly oak]

just c5 them

[clear quail]

u'll never know until tmrw

[chilly oak]

its to balance it out

[edgy oriole]

i save my c5 drones for vehicles camping outside of bounds

[chilly oak]

same, or random snipers on a hill

[scenic tartan]

They will do more specialist changes after the next feedback

[edgy oriole]

ngl i love c5ing snipers sitting in an obscure spot.

[wide shore]

I know, but it shouldn’t. Reward people for playing as a team

[chilly oak]

i hope they fix the bug where sometimes after a portal match it loads u into another but u cant spawn or press options

so u have to alt f4

[dapper river]

resetting the out of bounds cooldown on drones by exiting/entering and using them to kill snipers in the enemy base

[radiant prism]

I still think they should buff Rao's hacking ability so that hacking an enemy briefly reveals enemies around them

Having to then kill the enemy is often VERY difficult to effectively pull off in my experience

But having the Paik ability now is a decent buff as well

[copper fulcrum]

I just Sundance to them

[solid imp]

yeah especially when you can just equip the soflam and accomplish the same thing

[chilly oak]

oh he gets both?

[radiant prism]

Yeah, the killing an enemy is part of his hacking tool.

[copper fulcrum]

Now to kill someone with his tool

[solid imp]

hack mackay's new fancy suit... dance cowboy.. dance.

[grizzled whale]

god i love snipers only

[drowsy shuttle]

A - Warhawk Compensator : Update 4.0: improved recoil control, reduced weapon accuracy <-- isn't this nonsense? am i missing something here? if improves recoil control why should reduce weapon accuracy?

[chilly oak]

accuracy means bullet spread

[grave prism]

why they buffing the condor lmao

[radiant prism]

You can control recoil better, but the base uncontrolled accuracy is more extreme. Puts more emphasis on recoil control

[chilly oak]

oh

[radiant prism]

I think

[drowsy shuttle]

hum i think i get it now... not worth it then

[radiant prism]

I do think it'll have an effect on bullet spread

I think you're right about that Gizzy

[chilly oak]

Someone told me, it makes sense

[drowsy shuttle]

i think, and i might be wrong, if an attachment improves recoil control, the downside of it shouldn't be reduced accuracy or bullet spread or whatever.. the "punishment" should be other thing.. like less damage or something i dunno...

[pine roost]

Well the muzzle brake did the same thing right? Reduces the vertical recoil but increases spread

[chilly oak]

thats probably been changed, or im just wrong

[drowsy shuttle]

i think it reduced horizontal recoil control

and vice versa

[clear quail]

the steam discussion page on the new update is just depressing to read

[shy grotto]

You might want to avoid that and the subreddit

[clear quail]

ye

[compact sleet]

Bro I just played a bfv game and two kids were sitting on the runway (teamates btw) and kept using dynamite to flip over planes so none could get in the air

[clear quail]

typical bf mentality

[frosty mural]

teamplay bro

[drowsy shuttle]

well no improvements on performance... guess i will pass on this update aswell. just like i said when the game was launched, they will never improve performance.. it is what it is... if you want better performance, people will have to buy better CPU's.

[wheat cloak]

Is Voip going to work cross platform? PC to Xbox? Xbox to PS?

[edgy oriole]

its party and squad so i assume so.

[wheat cloak]

Hmmm okay...

[frosty mural]

They can't improve something that is embedded in the game - performance issues are due to the amount of processes it takes to run 128p maps with different variables...

[shy grotto]

I wonder how many people have shit PCs trying to play a current game.

[grizzled whale]

Oh no

[chilly oak]

well the performance will indirectly get better due to less vehicles

[frosty mural]

i have a i7-9700k and a 2070 gpu on 1080 P i get 70 FPS on 128 matches High and 90FPS on 64 players and HZ on high

Funny enough, my game looks more smoother on 128 when the tornado is in effect lol

[grizzled whale]

The bug where you open the map and your entire pc crashed is back

[fiery shoal]

its likely not just the obvious "large player count and larger maps" scenario though, its likely optimized to be cpu dependent to get a better baseline of performance for more people. say what you will about performance, but getting 2042 to get 60 fps on a 9400 and 1060 is pretty impressive

[grizzled whale]

2070s 12600k ~100fps

[fiery shoal]

the reverse to that coin is that the game doesnt scale for shit with better hardware outside of cpus...

[arctic grove]

eeh ok this game is officialy dead in the SA servers, waited for a lobby to fill for 20 minutes and just gave up, no one is playing this anymore, sadly i paid 100 for this dumbster fire.

[fiery shoal]

that sucks, hopefully the summer content really helps

[arctic grove]

i doubt it, but lets hope

[dim hatch]

did upodate drop?

[frosty mural]

tomorrow

[fiery shoal]

at least there are other games to play, even if none are really like bf

[frosty mural]

I've been enjoying Apex lol

[dim hatch]

maybe I miss Apex

[drowsy shuttle]

i have 3600 cpu 2070 super 32gb ram 3600mhz... is this a shitty PC?

[frosty mural]

Shitty CPU

[still vault]

Sounds perfectly fine

[frosty mural]

The game is CPU intensive

[arctic grove]

no his pc is not shitty, this game optimization is shitty

[drowsy shuttle]

exactly... the CPU is getting outdated... but still the game is poorly optimized and very demanding...

[fiery shoal]

optimization is decent, its not like we have other 128 player bf like games to compare to

[glad mist]

that CPU is still more than good

[dim hatch]

I have a 5820K system with a 2070 Super. It runs BF at about 60 frames.

[frosty mural]

Play 64p conquest here and in any other game...the random spikes in FPS drop means game has optimization issues

[tiny imp]

Nice, new patch drop in tomorrow!

[fiery shoal]

thats not comparable, the ONLY factor isnt that its 64 players, the devs likely made the decision to optimize 2042 to get more low end system to be able to play the game in general, it doesnt scale though

[dim hatch]

they better not break my McKay

[rotund cloak]

I didnt see single note about optimization in patch notes, so if everyone is working on game what is optimization team doing

[arctic grove]

working on the new bf

[fiery shoal]

they could be optimizing the new content...

[dim hatch]

bf 2043

[pine roost]

Or mouse input 😬

[dim hatch]

what's ewrong with mouse input?

[rotund cloak]

everything xD

[frosty mural]

FYI not every patch has info on the ghost patches they do - they do stealth patches and sometimes it is optimization or performance

[dim hatch]

I've experienced no issues.

[tiny imp]

To bad there is no news from Nvidia about BF 2042 optimize

[arctic grove]

nvidia gave up hope

[fiery shoal]

yea idk about the mouse input problem, ive never noticed anything odd with it, and i can guarantee that im better than most people in fps games

[dim hatch]

calm down on the self cheerleading

[fiery shoal]

maybe it doesnt affect everyone?

[dim hatch]

maybe they have shitty mice or mice with shitty settings

[hexed mango]

i dont think it’s an nvidia issues cause i have 0 input problems

[fiery shoal]

i only say im good because most people default to "you cant tell because you suck"

[dim hatch]

I am top 5 about 50% of the time for kills. top 10 about 80%. TTV flyboys screw the curve though

[arctic grove]

when Anthem died and EA abandoned it how many players were still playing that ?

[dim hatch]

I feel like I'm playing titanfall 2 with McKay.

[grizzled whale]

less than 100

[dim hatch]

tritanfall's grapple mechanics were better in motion, but BF's are better for availablitiy.

[rotund cloak]

i remamber having it and than going in settings and changing some shit and it was gone

[dim hatch]

describe the input issues

[fiery shoal]

theres not a raw input option is there?

[dapper river]

"Availability" what does that even mean? In Titanfall 2 you have grapple unlocked from level 1 and you get two charges with a short cooldown compared to Mackay's, and you can even equip a weapon attachment that further shortens the cooldown timer when you get kills. I'd say that's pretty "available"

[dim hatch]

availability as in things I can grab onto

[dapper river]

[rotund cloak]

if i remamber i turned off uniform soldier aiming and some zoom settings(forgot name) and going in controller settings and changing some stuff there, idk what controller settings had to do with my mouse and keyboard but they did and that fixed it for me

[dim hatch]

maybe I am misremembering TF2

[dapper river]

Yeah you can grapple practically anything in that game, and you can use air strafing and Source engine spaghetti™️ to fling yourself across the map at ridiculous speed. Mackay's grapple just seems like a simple A-to-B tool.

[strong lodge]

so did they not fix the SOFLAM not getting assists on vehicles? I read through it and didnt see anything.

[dim hatch]

maybe I appreciate thats its a little more grounded or realistic though the term iss used loosely, here.

[dim hatch]

Rao needs hack assists too.

[strong lodge]

damn...

[next onyx]

After some switching games I can definitely feel the problem with general mouse aim.

[river trench]

Did anyone count the fixes?

[next onyx]

There's a massive input latency on lower sensitivities.

And even so on higher sens it feels like there's some weird smoothing???

[dim hatch]

I set DPI on my mouse.

[next onyx]

This is with raw mouse input and whatever.

After some tweaking cause of vanguard, There's something really off with 2042.

Yeah I learned maybe to NOT play on 3200 DPI, It's why I was getting micro jitters LOL.

[rotund cloak]

Doesnt more dpi give you less mouse input lag

[grizzled whale]

i havent had any input lag at all in 2042

[shy grotto]

You be surprised how many people are using crappy mice and then blaming the game. Shit mice has shit sensors, shit tracking and so on.

[next onyx]

Hey look.

Not input but still.

[pine roost]

It just feels odd, unreliable. I play V for a couple minutes and it feels miles more responsive. There are also clips that prove the inconsistencies by using software

[pine roost]

Oh wow, that would have been nice to see in the notes

I’ll have to see if he reveals any more that hasn’t been noted down

[next onyx]

I was playing through vanguard and it was weird with genuine mouse aiming.

[pine roost]

With that change it might actually feel playable

[brittle forge]

What was weird is that I didn’t notice mouse input being terrible but after Planetside 2 and BF3, I played 2042 for the first time in weeks and the input felt really bad, particularly when I was firing an automatic

[round garden]

Im not really sure why dice kept pushing out shitty games since bf4? But can they just apologize to the players? Work 10 years on a new game that acctually is good and stop bei g so arrogant?

[brittle forge]

Recoil control just didn’t seem to register at all, I was wondering if the game bugged out and reset my mouse settings cause I didn’t notice it before

[round garden]

like bro the consumer is who they need to impress not the fucking stock market or publisher

[rotund cloak]

oh they were trying to impress consumers, they just tried to impress wrong ones

[hexed mango]

lessssss go 4.0

[brittle forge]

Tbf if the game wasn’t a buggy unfinished mess their different direction might have done better with the overall gaming market

[rotund cloak]

Dont be too hyped, all this fix's can break million other things

[brittle forge]

I wouldn’t have liked it if it did but they did all these trends to make the game more accessible

[hexed mango]

i hope this applies to orbital aswell

[pine roost]

Good games tend to earn more money than bad ones

[hexed mango]

shut up let me be excited

also * all these fixes

[heavy kraken]

let me guess, thr sprinklers is just water

[brittle forge]

My point that you missed was that if this game has launched well in a technical sense, the battlefield community still probably wouldn’t have considered it a good game because of all these changes, but that wouldn’t have been reflected in the financials

[rotund cloak]

''all this'' works just fine, you clearly understood what i said

[brittle forge]

“All this fixes” is incorrect grammar. I don’t give a shit cause this isn’t English class but that’s what the guy was pointing out in fairness

[next onyx]

Could you guys calm it?

[rotund cloak]

I wont allow losers that probably work at mcdonalds teach me english, you understood what i said so what is point of trying to fix my grammar

[heavy kraken]

what

[brittle forge]

It is quite literally just pointing something out, hardly a personal attack

[heavy kraken]

we're talking about water that kills, not whatever the hell is going on

[brittle forge]

Anyways

[rotund cloak]

whan he point out somthing that doesnt have nothing to do with topic we are talking about its probably a personal issue he has and nothing to do with topic

[brittle forge]

I didn’t even know sprinklers did any damage before these notes

[hexed mango]

i’m currently talking to my friend about 4.0 and he’s complaining cause Halo Infinite hasn’t gotten an update like it apparently…. so much for “HaLo InFiNiTe KilLed 2042”

[brittle forge]

Which is really funny, these “super badass” specialists getting killed in battle by water from sprinklers

[pine roost]

Let them

[cobalt flower]

skill issue

imagine getting killed by the fire extinguisher lmao

they do like, 4 damage

[chilly oak]

they do damage?

[cobalt flower]

little to none

[rotund cloak]

and cover your whole screen

[brittle forge]

Trend I’ve noticed is the only thing that “kills” any game is that game itself

[rotund cloak]

what i did is i learned all spots of em and never go there, like stadium on hourglass, i just ignored that place

[hexed mango]

i think he’s going crazy now lol

[dapper river]

It has to be a goof. "we fixed sprinklers but only on one map lmao"

[hexed mango]

yeah i bet it’s on all maps with sprinklers cause that’s what was said in a tweet a few weeks ago

[rotund cloak]

they are probably fixed on all maps, those might be just examples of it

[hexed mango]

ima have to redo my attachments now

[brittle forge]

Tbf Halo didn’t need a patch like this cause Halo in a technical sense is pretty alright as is. The problem is it’s live service is nowhere. If your friend is mad comfort them by saying we’re not getting any actual new content lol

[dapper river]

They shouldn't have been lethal to begin with. Imagine if there was a fire in your building right now and the sprinkler system just straight up killed you.

"no witnesses"

[brittle forge]

I think it’s fucking hilarious not gonna lie

[rotund cloak]

games need content ubdates, you dont do that for 2 months and people will leave your game, thats problem with all this live service games, where is fucking content

[shy grotto]

Were they even water? I swore they were like freezing agents or some shitm

[brittle forge]

The sprinklers could kill you and they were literally just straight up water

Every soldier in this game is the wicked witch of the west apparently

Lol

[shy grotto]

Yes i know they did dmg and can kill you, but like i said, i thought they were freezing agents

[dapper river]

they work similar to the liquid nitrogen around the maps (freeze effect on hud, damage over time, etc) so... maybe? I don't know why they couldn't have just used water. Is it too rare in 2042?

[limpid citrus]

Such a big update and I still can’t play with my many friends in the same match. Such a discriminating game.

[brittle forge]

Inb4 “freezing agents instead of water is an aspect critical to 2042’s lore”

[wanton magnet]

Halo is suffering from desync, it’s literally unplayable for me.

[next onyx]

Wouldn't nitrogen be more expensive than water???

[brittle forge]

Yikes. Is that widely reported?

[wanton magnet]

I’m still waiting for the 8 party squads.

[wanton magnet]

Yeah and there’s clips of it on Reddit too. No mention of any fixes for it.

[brittle forge]

Damn I hope they fix that quickly

[shy latch]

in real life there are fire fighting system with CO2, they are restricted mainly to industrial workplaces (because of course is lethal), maybe it could be CO2 instead

[snow yarrow]

I can’t wait for Battlefield mobile

[dapper river]

idk but nitrogen is pretty abundant. it's about 80% of the air you breathe, to make it liquid you just need a means of cooling and storage. purified water might be ridiculously expensive in 2042. or not, and this is just a stupid gameplay mehcanic, i dunno.

[limber kestrel]

Inb4 devs gave up on bf2042 to develop some bs like bf mobile

Some command and conquer stuff right there

[brittle forge]

There’s a limit to how much I can go “fuck yeah mobile game” But Battlefield mobile does seem like good fun at least

[snow yarrow]

Why

[dapper river]

it's just BF3 with worse graphics and everyone has terrible aim

[next onyx]

Yeah I can imagine it as an alternative if purified is becoming more difficult to get a hold of.

[brittle forge]

I’m not exactly looking to play first person shooters on a mobile phone. Could be a decent time killer but that’s pretty much the extent of how I view them personally

But if it’s like insanely good somehow then great

[limber kestrel]

Only way to make a good bf game on mobile is go make bad company 2 mobile

[placid echo]

Industrial Toys is working on BF Mobile

[brittle forge]

I heard cod mobile is not too bad?

I have no idea if that’s true or not

[limber kestrel]

Welp we'll see how that goes

[limber kestrel]

Actually feels like a cod cause cod is pretty straight forward

[snow yarrow]

For some its bad but majority say its good

[round garden]

is this real?

[hexed mango]

from what my friend says, who plays the game, that is not the case

[snow yarrow]

The only decent Mobile FPS game rn

[brittle forge]

I mean from someone who also played the game it had some issues but I didn’t run into stuff like being unable to ADS because I hopped into a vehicle or other glitches in 2042 that happened every match

The biggest technical issue I had was bad performance but it was playable

[hexed mango]

that’s a screenshot from the patch notes, so yeah

[chilly jacinth]

it has hit detection issues

[brittle forge]

And oh yeah the big team battle mode is kind of broken it doesn’t fill out a full lobby

[chilly jacinth]

other than that its great

[chilly jacinth]

wasn't that fixed?

[brittle forge]

No idea I haven’t played infinite in a bit

[round garden]

the sprinklers no longer deal damage to players has to be the most pathetic videogame patch ote ever written when talking about a semi realistic shooter

[chilly jacinth]

pretty dang sure they fixed it

[hexed mango]

what?

[arctic grove]

[hexed mango]

have you not heard the mountain of complaints against it lol- the sprinklers suck

[round garden]

no i abonded the game 3 days after launch?

[frosty mural]

Guess you never dealt with the suppression in BF3 LOL it waas in 4 patch notes on the rework and nerfing

[arctic grove]

Point taken

[brittle forge]

Nothing will ever top Sim 3 patch notes in terms of ridiculousness

[round garden]

like everyone else you and the other 4 guys playing it probably going crazy rn

[hexed mango]

you have no validity here

[round garden]

damn thats toxic

[frosty mural]

if you abandoned it, then why are you here?

[arctic grove]

Exactly

[brittle forge]

Well there is news about the game for once so that’s a bit of a dumb question to ask

[golden hornet]

Battlefield is a perfect game. No fix required

[brittle forge]

If he showed up here every damn day then maybe

[solid imp]

Oh boy, I left and came back and seems things have gone downhill a bit no? Earlier we were having a pretty good discussion about the patch notes and presenting actual thoughts. What happened lol..

[frosty mural]

someone got upset about sprinklers

[arctic grove]

That’s the theme of this channel

[hexed mango]

i mean i’m not doubting your thoughts, this is just what my friend said

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dapper berry]

redditors happened

[chilly jacinth]

someone says something positive about the game and then the negative nancys have to comment

its just how things work

[golden hornet]

We are like game of thrones here. We stab in the back and have sex with our siblings

[brittle forge]

I mean he’s probably right I’m just saying I don’t think they need a patch with 400 fixes that are just technical. That’s all I’m saying

[hexed mango]

although, tbf, my friend lives in an area where there are no infinite servers so it can kinda suck

[solid imp]

dang.. when root cause analysis boils down to "because the internet"

[hexed mango]

we’re kinda talking about smth else though

[sage ingot]

It's just how it works out sometimes

[chilly jacinth]

[sage ingot]

They are a constant, but their attentionspan is about 8 seconds, just ignore them for a bit and they'll leave

[wide violet]

thoughts about patch notes?

[brittle forge]

It’s a discord channel on server of tens of thousands of people, why do you all pretend there is sacred ground violated when the convos come and go lmao

[brittle forge]

Honestly surprised by how much is in there tbh

[hard plume]

Too long

[worthy shadow]

I know its stupid but the patch note says March 18th 2022 I thought I was under a rock or something.

[wide violet]

im curious if they just made Paik op

[edgy oriole]

patch notes fire af

[brittle forge]

If Dice actually delivers this patch without introducing a fucking bazillion new issues then I will be really surprised

[wide violet]

Bro this is my thought process. I honestly see these fixes causing 2x as many bugs

[hard plume]

Guess we’ll find our tomorrow, remember when people said the grappling hook would be op?

[wide violet]

with just how 2042 has been overall

[brittle forge]

Rao op

[hexed mango]

rao doesn’t spot for everyone now

[edgy oriole]

makes sense why they drop a patch this large on a tuesday. that way theyll have time to fix things if its major problem

[hexed mango]

only for himself

[wide violet]

i mean lowkey, Mckay is OP the ADS movement speed and the grapple are good

[brittle forge]

Yeah I’m thinking there’s a catch somewhere but if they pull this off then bravo

[hexed mango]

it’s tuesday?

[edgy oriole]

yeah

[brittle forge]

Yeah patch tmmrw

[hexed mango]

oh i thought you meant today was tuesday

i thought you said notes my bad

[brittle forge]

It’s actually Wednesday my dudes

[wide violet]

lul

[worthy shadow]

Well its March

[wide violet]

im curious if the player count will increase, just need to wait and see

[hexed mango]

well when the update comes out it can only be monday or tuesday because even in GMT+13 it will only be 11pm. however in GMT-9 it will be monday at 11pm

[worthy shadow]

My OCD just kicked in when I was looking at the patch notes on their website.

[brittle forge]

It’s actually September 2021. We’re all still awaiting the release of undoubtedly godly DICE Masterpiece, Battlefield 2042, and this was all a bad dream

[hexed mango]

just read it on steam ez

or are you talking about the typo

[edgy oriole]

it should. this is fixing problems that we had since launch. but it wont have a huge increase as szn 1 should.

[worthy shadow]

Yeah lol

[hexed mango]

i know your pain

[brittle forge]

I’d probably guess the steam count will go up to like 6k peak, maaaaybe 10k?

[wide violet]

eh, doesnt fix the shit maps and lack of weapons.

[hexed mango]

i wouldn’t even guess that high, players who don’t want to play are probably dismissing the update in the first place sadly

like: “update? that trash game won’t be fixed” or smth

[wide violet]

we shall see. Personally I havnet touched the game since Jan. due to the overall lack of a "battlefield" feel. but again we shall see

[hexed mango]

however some might be “update?! nice!!”

[brittle forge]

Best case scenario is patch launches well, people check out the patch, have a few matches, go “alright cool” and then dip until S1

[worthy shadow]

I want this game to have a "Hello Games" type victory but that is just too much to ask for?

[hexed mango]

probably yeah

[brittle forge]

To be fair I would never expect these numbers to last more than a week, maybe even a couple days

[hearty flame]

Im not sure that a patch will get people excited enough to come back and even if they did theres not enough for them to stay probably

[worthy shadow]

Not just because I paid like $60 but still its "Battlefield"

[edgy oriole]

i mean there was an increase bc of the new scoreboard for some reason lmao. so this should. not much but still.

[arctic grove]

It probably won’t since EA/DICE don’t actually care as much as they do for the game.

[hexed mango]

yeah totally

[wide violet]

yeah cuz EA lol

[hearty flame]

dice might care but ea? depends on how much they are making

[arctic grove]

Dice > EA

[arctic grove]

DICE cares, but EA is just dragging them down

[fiery shoal]

tbf i dont think i was playing shooters before or after 2042 came out, but isolated by itself i couldnt tell anything majorly wrong

[wide violet]

gotta keep business daddy happy

[arctic grove]

What if Dice became independent

[hearty flame]

maybe but after ea let bioware shame themselves with andromeda and anthem i think ea is pretty hands off

[chilly jacinth]

they dont have the $ for that

[brittle forge]

I’m not letting DICE completely off the hook honestly. EA is not magically responsible behind everything bad with this title

[arctic grove]

I’ll give them a million

[brittle forge]

The direction of the game was DICE’s idea

[tiny imp]

I dont think either. I think most of people are tired to play same maps for mor than half a year. Need something new content and maps to this game. But unfortunately we have to wait until summer

[chilly jacinth]

thats a drop in the bucket

[edgy oriole]

theyll make a game like the people that left dice before 2042 release. arc raider clones

[arctic grove]

I’ll have a refund for my million then

[brittle forge]

EA literally owns DICE. Short of EA selling the company you will never see them outside of EA

And as we all know EA never sell studios they just shut them down

[hearty flame]

insert where are we going papa EA meme

[worthy shadow]

So nobody works on their IP?

[brittle forge]

Which to be fair is probably not likely to happen to dice since they make frostbite bit still

[hearty flame]

Ya theyd rather the ip sit and work on it later than lose them

[brittle forge]

You haven’t seen all the “EA’s dead franchises” meme

Pretty much the only one they revived is dead space

[jovial quest]

Alex

[worthy shadow]

Oh yeah I've seen them but its sounds more evil

Its similar to what Universal/WB etc do to their movies

[brittle forge]

As much as it sucks from a business perspective it makes complete sense. If you could potentially do something with an IP later why would you not just keep it instead of letting competition potentially have it?

Pretty much the only time you wouldn’t is if you need to sell something right now because you’re about to go out of business

Which is what happened to THQ

[next onyx]

To be fair with this whole thing as well I only started feeling it recently.

[fiery shoal]

i kinda wanna test it now, but i dont care to download 2042 just to do that

[silk surge]

WELP it's official!

[fiery shoal]

what part?

[silk surge]

Look at the hours played

[rapid moon]

Why would u do that

[silk surge]

Not sure tbh

[fiery shoal]

10x more hours than myself

[edgy oriole]

i got 13 days i think

[hexed mango]

so 312 hours

[wide violet]

power to yall for having 100+ hrs played

[grizzled whale]

im at 384

[compact sleet]

I have 70 😭

[arctic grove]

man i hope you are mentally ok, no human soul has to go through this kind of torture

[silk surge]

I mean it has its flaws ofc, but it's not THAT bad lmao

[wide violet]

i have like 65 i think

[grand prism]

I'm at 119 hours on 2042

[arctic grove]

holy

[grand prism]

Just waiting for new update

[chilly oak]

@silk surge are you happy about scatter buff and smart grenade buffs, u might be able to grind to get t1 helmet

[arctic grove]

also how is the game version 4.0 now

[silk surge]

Hell yeah

[chilly oak]

Tomorrow 9am uk

[wide violet]

to each their own man. Some people think steaks are meant to be well done

[tiny imp]

flashback cq 32 vs 32 is really fun!

[grand prism]

Once the battlepass releases in summer i'm playing the game non stop

[silk surge]

Didn't know that there would be a scatter buff as well. I thought they just fixed the anti-armor bug.

[chilly oak]

Me too, currently at 625

[arctic grove]

i prefer mine between medium rare and well done

[wide violet]

see, im a medium rare kinda dude

[chilly oak]

The game is so fun when your not grinding sundance grenades lol

[silk surge]

I'm at like 140, and I played A LOT of sundance during the first 2 months.

[arctic grove]

well i wanna see how many things they are gonna break with this update

[silk surge]

Grinding T1 Sundance is an absolute nightmare.

[chilly oak]

Also use her emp to get assists, emp assists have been buffed too

And indirectly the grind will be shorter because u need less damage to get assist

[silk surge]

I always instictively end up using anti-armor to scare away helis. I think that's why I barely make any progress.

[chilly oak]

No wonder

I don't think I've ever killed a helicopter with smart grenades

[grand prism]

I got casper dozer and boris at T1 and i got the SCAR GL at T1

[silk surge]

I've killed tons of helis with it.

Hell, that 140 are mostly heli kills

[chilly oak]

I'm at caspers 800 skin, so I'm ok with it

[chilly oak]

[silk surge]

I'm content with my Ultimate Edition Casper skin. I need people to know that I can't be trusted with money.

[grand prism]

Dude i'm still questioning the pilot i encountered that day

[chilly oak]

How do u find enjoyment from that

[silk surge]

I don't.

[wide shore]

I got Falck, Angel & Boris T1. As well as the M5 Recoilless, M5A3, AK24, SFAR, AC42, LCMG & PKP. And the motion ball ofc.

[chilly oak]

Use scatter to kill infantry and tanks. Well after this update u do u

[grand prism]

Holy mother of god

[silk surge]

The plan is always to scare away helis, but sometimes they are very low health and have no flares.

[chilly oak]

I don't think I've used the m5 rocket launcher since beta lol

[wide shore]

It’s the only gadget I use

[grand prism]

Dude what's the transport plane from the US team

[chilly oak]

I like my c5

[chilly oak]

Idk

[wide shore]

Condor

[silk surge]

I have had T1 C5 for ages now, it's still my go-to AT gadget. Carl Gustav feels way too weak.

[willow sky]

Look at all those....delicious bug fixes.
So tasty....
SO HUNGRY

[grand prism]

That i remembered i encountered a pilot called BestCondorPilot and he had that condor at T1

[silk surge]

Maybe he wasn't joking about the name

[grand prism]

I swear he literally saved the match

[willow sky]

My respects to condor pilots

i swear good air pilots carry the match

[silk surge]

We don't deserve condor pilots.

[dim hatch]

helo hunting witht he stinger is a game of patience.

After the flares, there is time for 2 shots, with a reload.

[grand prism]

We were so screwed and he saved the team

[chilly oak]

I can't fly, idk how to even go forward in a straight line, I just spawn as one go high jump out and skydive as sundance

[wide shore]

I just like 1 shotting helicopters

[willow sky]

Speaking of stingers, is the AA lock on going to be fixed? i didnt see it around

[wide shore]

Oh, what. How it sometimes takes ages for it to start locking?

[grand prism]

Dude 400+ bug fixes and changes

[willow sky]

Yeah lol

[wide shore]

I didn’t see anything about that unfortunately.

[silk surge]

Same 😄

[willow sky]

i was looking at the weapon section and found nothing

Wait, its a gadget.

[grand prism]

Maybe they hid it

[wide shore]

Alright that’s sick. GG

[grand prism]

Oh god

[silk surge]

I posted it on the subreddit. Got 1,7k upvotes and a comment section filled with people whining about the wingsuit lmao

[grand prism]

Lmao

[chilly oak]

I wish on kaleidoscope at the start all infantry would spawn on top of the skyscraper

[wide shore]

That sounds like hell

[chilly oak]

Imagine 60 sundances

[willow sky]

its gotta hopefully be somewhere around some gameplay stuff, at least they fixed the lock on being disabled after getting emp'd

that was annoying

[wide shore]

I read everything. But I was a little scatterbrained this morning so maybe I missed it

[silk surge]

The game is gonna feel clean AF tomorrow. We're officially exiting the beta phase.

[chilly oak]

I felt like we exited beta phase after the first weeks of patches

[grand prism]

Dude everytime i play breakthrough on defending i always start yelling like a sgt in the US unit and i always say in the typing we need fire support or we need reinforcements send everything you got Broken Arrow Broken Arrow lol

[silk surge]

Nah, that was the pre-alpha phase.

[willow sky]

this feeling is gonna be sooo good

[chilly oak]

Bloom was fixed

[compact sleet]

That’s you? What’s your IGN

[wide shore]

M5 rocket? No.

Pocket sniper? Yes.

[grand prism]

John-TheProblem

[silk surge]

That was an insane shot ngl

[willow sky]

nice shot

[chilly oak]

At launch ui and bloom and some qol changes fixed the game for me

[silk surge]

What an amazing volley, and from 430m away.

[wide shore]

I volley a lot. Lol

[grand prism]

I always go like WE NEED AA Get your unit on that objective or we need air support

[chilly oak]

When rao hacks infantry their scope should be blocked, full of red or emp stuff

[compact sleet]

I had someone do that but i don’t think it was you. Their name started with a J tho

[willow sky]

Thanks to voice chat coming back, there will be at least way more communication

[grand prism]

Yes

Time for me to yell like a true soldier

[willow sky]

lmaooo im down playing with you!

[grand prism]

What's your IGN i think i remember you

[wide shore]

Fuckin spawn killing helicopters

[grand prism]

Dude i play casper and i run around with a soflam for our air units

When is the new update

[wide shore]

I could probably make a 20 minute video of just zooks

[compact sleet]

K4rma_Knight571 I didn’t type in chat cause I’m ps5 and I don’t have a keyboard hooked up

[grand prism]

I'm also on ps5 lol i remember that i was in a game with you lol

[compact sleet]

Yea some kid was shit taking you and I drove his bolte into the enemies so he died 😊 👍

[grand prism]

OH I LOVE IT WHEN YOU DID THAT

He had it coming too

[plucky pebble]

Nothing better than instakill a camper tank player with the bolte mines

[wide shore]

Bolte drivers can sniff my armpit

[compact sleet]

Yeah he was just sitting on the obj in the turret camping

[wide shore]

Disgusting

[willow sky]

soflam user, respecc

[grand prism]

Dude i remember i met @compact sleet in a breakthrough match and this guy was shit talking me and i typed can someone get this person please and thank you and karma came in and killed him

[willow sky]

also did they...nerf pkp?

[grand prism]

Gotta support the Air units

[plucky pebble]

Thank god

[grand prism]

Remember 400+ changes

[willow sky]

Ac 42 got nerfed tho 😔

[grand prism]

And bug fixes

Ofc they are putting nerfs i am just hoping the SFAR doesn't get a huge nerf

[plucky pebble]

Just some recoil to the pkp is not gonna do much tbh

[chilly oak]

9am uk time

[grand prism]

I'm gonna be sad if SFAR gets nerfed

[grand prism]

Tomorrow

[chilly oak]

Yes

Epic embed fail

[grand prism]

WHAT

SPITS DRINK

[plucky pebble]

Hmm i dont think that gun is op to be nerfed

[grand prism]

It's decent it just packs a punch

[chilly oak]

How big is the update

[paper forge]

Have they fixed the xp gains in portal yet?

[grand prism]

Idk

We have to wait and see tomorrow

NANI IT'S TOMORROW

OH MY GOD IT'S HAPPENING

[ruby kelp]

Just a reminder to all you beautiful people playing tomorrow. Most people don't talk in voice until someone initiates, so to get the most of VoIP, start the chat!

[grand prism]

This makes a grown man cry

[radiant bronze]

What’s new with this update

[compact sleet]

Because SU-57 is so hot

[grand prism]

400+ changes and bug fixes

That's what they said

[grand prism]

Indeed i'm going to add you to play tomorrow

[wide shore]

It is indeed over 400 fixes

[radiant prism]

I think 456 was the number I saw?

[wide shore]

And even some that weren’t reported. Like, they’re fixing mouse movement

[grand prism]

THERE IS HOPE AFTER ALL

[wide shore]

Sum like that, yeah

[olive lake]

I'm still unconvinced but I'll watch and try

[grand prism]

I'm going to play all day tomorrow

And rank up to 100

[wide shore]

For me. This update fixes a lot of stuff that just irritates me. Like the revive bug, the extinguisher damage, the bolte

Obviously the game will still have its glaring issues. Lack of content/open maps. But one step at a time.

[radiant prism]

This is hopefully a major stability update that paves the way for more to come

[wide shore]

🤞

I’ll still play the shit out of the game anyway. I have been. But it’ll be nice to not get killed by fire extinguishers.

[olive lake]

If they could just not be so awkward with progression, that'd do something too but we shall see

[wide shore]

And the less I die to the Bolte the better.

[olive lake]

Ai improvements plus universal ribbons is a sign of hope or it means fuck all

[still vault]

I hope the patch is great.
Likely, some people will ignore all the fixes and focus on 1 little bug that will be introduced and I will have to moderate, but hope not.

[wide shore]

That’s a given. Lol

[olive lake]

I legit wanna enjoy the game. I really hope they make the right choice

[ripe hedge]

What would be the right choice?

[olive lake]

Uncapping solo/coop and granting full progression

[compact sleet]

Alr I’m on the bfv grind until that update comes out tho

[olive lake]

I'd look past every issue if they did that

[wide shore]

Oh, hey Alex. D’you know if those suppressor changes you told me about a while back is part of the attachment changes?

[olive lake]

I did before it was originally capped

[still vault]

Still disagree. Much of the community wont like that. I still think the best thing is to make "single player" and multiplayer progress separate for full progression in "single player" to be a good idea.

[pulsar vine]

I just want a campaign cause what little story is there from that one trailer is interesting and surprised that theirs no campaign

[olive lake]

It was how the game was released and promised so they cant take back their words no matter hiw disagreed it is

Its false advertising and this progression cap was supposed to be 'temporary'

[ripe hedge]

I think so

[olive lake]

If pve and pvp were separated then maybe Id be okay with it

Like progression instances

[wide shore]

I hope so. Thanks

[next onyx]

I'm gonna assume close combat mags were changed with a shorter damage range too. Maybe.

Nice to know there are more options for attachments though.

[still vault]

Yeah, I still don't buy the false advertising arguments.

[onyx star]

BF-2042 is a waste of money. Change my mind.

[pulsar vine]

I’ll be honest what they showed with attachments overhaul I didn’t see a difference

Obviously gameplay wise it could be a different story

[next onyx]

All we were shown were that the extras were changed to have unique effects which is good.

Honestly if the other suppressor reduced damage range (But not flat damage) I would be all for that.

[pulsar vine]

Would be great

[arctic grove]

Ok i only have complain: Bolte was already nerfed and was crap and now it got nerfed again. no point of using one.

[tribal obsidian]

Saw the notes lets go

[wide shore]

I just think the damage penalty for using a suppressor is too high. Outside of using it on a gun like the K30 or MP9 which dumps bullets they’re useless.

[fiery shoal]

good

infantry gang rise

[arctic grove]

Infantry on battle royal maps do sound nice.

[next onyx]

My issue is that using either, You lose out in important benchmarks. What's the point of stealth if you're literally going to be outgunned so easily?

[cyan trout]

Not seeing the player card for the kill feed and it having 5+ people on it for assists

[willow sky]

hopefully suppressors get some good changes

[thorny oxide]

I see nothing but facts

[elder patrol]

Pog

[hexed mango]

what is BF~~--~~2042

[arctic grove]

Who

[arctic grove]

facts

[tribal obsidian]

I don't play battlefield so I couldn't

[arctic grove]

[flat brook]

2042 is the greatest battlefield game ever made

[hexed mango]

how's your day

[arctic grove]

continue telling yourself that lie

[hexed mango]

what did they say

[thorny oxide]

He was baiting lol

[arctic grove]

i know

[arctic grove]

you never played it

i did

[gilded dirge]

where are we supposed to post for core feedback? i'm guessing in here?
how many people have asked for the ability to join a friend playing BF2042 but not necessarily be in their party? i just kind of end up playing something else since i can't just join them if their party is full.

[hexed mango]

no, #948574259209437264

#948574259209437264 message
this is the current feedback topic

[gilded dirge]

says i'm not allowed to post there.

[arctic grove]

wrong channel lul

[arctic grove]

It's ok for someone to enjoy the game

ok cool who said you shouldnt enjoy the game

[hexed mango]

you have to go inside the thread.

[arctic grove]

[hexed mango]

oh nvm they closed it

so as of now, there's no core feedback topic, just wait till the specialists one releases @gilded dirge

[gilded dirge]

no more feedback. you can only have max 4 friends!

[hard plume]

Would any of you like to read the reddit responses to the new patch notes

[hexed mango]

ok?

[arctic grove]

if you find 4 friends that actually play the game that is

[hexed mango]

how bad are they.... scale of 1-69 cause funny reddit number lel

[gilded dirge]

if they're all playing you have o play something else and contribute to another games server population

[dapper river]

reddit
lmao hard pass, thanks

[hexed mango]

ok well this isnt the place to be placing that suggestion... so we cant help you, plus its really not that big of a deal.

[gilded dirge]

like every other game in the franchise let you just join your friends server, then choose your squad.

[wide shore]

Exactly my problem.

[arctic grove]

sorry stop right there, that is just a brutal expectation

[hexed mango]

wait what? this went from not being able to have more than 4 people in a squad to not being able to choose your squad?

you know if you join your friend's party, you are in their squad

[hard plume]

R/battlefield seems to be pretty positive, well as positive as they can get r/games and r/ps5 is pretty bad. Haven’t checked r/2042 cause it seemed too easy

[hexed mango]

same is true in this game. you join their party -> you join their squad

[gilded dirge]

🤣

[arctic grove]

I’m laughing har har

[hexed mango]

last time i saw r/battlefield it wasnt positive idk ill check again and see if i need to erase my memory

[arctic grove]

so i guess after 6 months dice released a decent update?

[hexed mango]

first comment

[gilded dirge]

i mean, if i have 4 friends already in a party, i want to be able to join their server, like in every other BF game. meaning, not having to join their party in order to do so.

[arctic grove]

Reedit will be reedit

wow groundbreaking, the game is finally transitioning out of alpha into beta

[hard plume]

Like i said, positive for them, it’s a low bar

[hexed mango]

very positive yes.

[arctic grove]

That sub is ass

[arctic grove]

i mean hey its the hard and brutal truth

[hard plume]

It was a little more positive earlier, guess the trolls woke up

[arctic grove]

nah

[hexed mango]

really isnt.

[arctic grove]

nah? this is the first worthwhile patch this game has gotten since 6 months

Lol k

[hexed mango]

"not making a fair amount of progress with one patch"
-> 400+ fixes/changes/... says otherwise

[arctic grove]

I guess 400 isn't enough

lets see how much more stuff they break

[hollow verge]

[arctic grove]

There it is

[thorny oxide]

That shouldn’t have been required in the first place

[hexed mango]

i feel bad for this man

[hard plume]

Maybe if it was 401, then that’s different

[arctic grove]

You think other BF games was perfect?

[hexed mango]

all they did was ask a question, and gets shitted on by internet points

[arctic grove]

the game doesnt even have content

[thorny oxide]

And even then if the game is returned to a decent state, theres zero content

[arctic grove]

Oh my gosh my content

[thorny oxide]

7 months into release

[hard plume]

R/games one

[gilded dirge]

i think the new patch is great.

[arctic grove]

keep ridiculing me, its the objective truth

[hard plume]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/u6fn8q/battlefield_2042_update_40_detailed/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

[hearty flame]

new patch isnt out yet though lol

[arctic grove]

guys i need content

[gilded dirge]

i just want a simple legacy feature implemented in the regular maps.

[hexed mango]

lel

[gilded dirge]

like, you can do this in portal mode just fine.

[arctic grove]

the game has gotten precisely 0 content 6 months into its life, an embarrassment for a "live service" if you ask me

[hexed mango]

i guess 400+ changes isnt big enough... my bad!

[thorny oxide]

You can look at the launches of pretty much every battlefield title and they all went better than 2042

[hard plume]

5*

[hexed mango]

milsim nerd

[arctic grove]

Say that to 4

but you know at least they got the revolutionary scoreboard in 4 months after launch!

a masterclass in innovation

[hexed mango]

this guy has the idea

[thorny oxide]

Battlefield 4 was already getting new maps after a few weeks, and the launch maps werent complete dogshit

[hexed mango]

rip for this guy...

[hexed mango]

doesnt change the fact that it was broken still.

[dapper river]

I mean I would like to see the return of the 4 uniformed classes in 2042, if not in AOW then at least as an option in Portal. The models are already in the game as AI.

[arctic grove]

This guy hasn’t seen 4’s first year of launch LOL

[arctic grove]

by now bf4 had like 4 dlcs

[hearty flame]

for every nms or bf4 there are tons of failed recoveries

[thorny oxide]

Almost every map in bf2042 favour vehicles over infantry gameplay

So you’re constantly getting fucked by vehicles everywhere on the map

[arctic grove]

I suggest you look into 4’s first year of broken mess instead of claiming every battlefield was perfect

[hexed mango]

bf4 went on the path of fixes last, content first, still complaints about the game not working existed. this game is doing fixes first, content last. and people complain about the content.

[hearty flame]

we'll see with the new vehicle balancing tomorrow

[thorny oxide]

And theres one little tiny area for infantry to run around and fight without fear of getting blown the fuck up by a tank

[arctic grove]

but who needs content in a live service game am i right?

[thorny oxide]

And even then it still happens

[arctic grove]

[hexed mango]

you're insinuating no content will come. which isnt the reality. be patient

[arctic grove]

They’re not

[thorny oxide]

6 months into the games life and it’s already dead

[arctic grove]

content is coming 6 months after launch 💀

[arctic grove]

Go back to 4

[dapper river]

REPLY FAIL!!!! (user meant to reply to a post above the one he actually replied to!! )

[arctic grove]

great live service dice

[thorny oxide]

I did to cleanse my palette after tasting their piece of shit

[arctic grove]

Heading 2042 see if they did it right

[arctic grove]

Who the fuck are you?

[dapper river]

your;e mom

[arctic grove]

Blocked

[thorny oxide]

The game is just barely beating BF4 and the game is fucking 8 years old

[hexed mango]

rip this guy aswell

[dapper river]

reported

[arctic grove]

"dice is good at turning things around"

[arctic grove]

You act like 4 was so perfect get a grip

[hexed mango]

wtf

[arctic grove]

sure buddy maybe with the old dice

[thorny oxide]

It was better than 2042

It stayed alive for more than 6 months

[dapper river]

I hate reddit so goddamn much

[radiant prism]

reddit moment

[fiery shoal]

you know a lot of people say they turned bfv around.. even if the launch problems didnt have to actually do with the game itself

[thorny oxide]

Had way more content within the same timeframe

[arctic grove]

Here’s your precious 4

[arctic grove]

keywords: old dice

[dapper river]

BFV still sux kek

[wide violet]

@hard plume theyre roasting you dude

[fiery shoal]

thats literally 1 game ago....

[arctic grove]

yeah and that dice is gone

[fiery shoal]

lol ok

[hexed mango]

companies dont just delete themselves after each game..

[arctic grove]

GonE

[thorny oxide]

I also find it coincidental that dice started pushing out updates at around the same time the investors started looking

[arctic grove]

now dice is populated by interns and amateurs

[hearty flame]

I mean hes right though. a lot of veteran dice employees left

[arctic grove]

Source me

[fiery shoal]

you cant just say ANYTHING you want because people shit on a game and act like its true

[wide violet]

I believe he is referencing the leak that went out saying that more than half of the bf5 devs are gone.

[hard plume]

Wait who?

[arctic grove]

why else do you think there is no content intil 6 months after launch

[arctic grove]

You don’t play 2042 you have no say

[thorny oxide]

The game had zero effort put into it

[arctic grove]

and it took 4 months for a damn scoreboard

And

[wide violet]

@hard plume

[fiery shoal]

did people just learn that people leave companies?

[thorny oxide]

They had to add a scoreboard after the game launched

[arctic grove]

The scoreboard was always there

[hexed mango]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/u690tu/why_do_you_hate_specialist_so_much/
🤢

[thorny oxide]

And that was like 4 months later

[fiery shoal]

there was literally a scoreboard at launch, just not the one users wanted

[arctic grove]

yea technically it was there, in a form nobody asked for or liked

[edgy oriole]

wait until they find out what kinda game the old dice is making

[fiery shoal]

thats like saying you dont have a car because its not a lexus...

[arctic grove]

Oh no my format

[hard plume]

Oh hahahaha, some thought it was funny

[dapper river]

People leave companies after a big project, and a game's sequel is usually worked on shortly after the first one ships??? impossible....

[arctic grove]

completely unwarranted "innovation" with no merit

[hexed mango]

https://tenor.com/beuUo.gif

[wide violet]

lmaoo i know, I saw your name so I had a chuckle

[hexed mango]

cry about it - shrek dancing at papa johns

[thorny oxide]

Nor were there stat trackers, which is a pretty common thing in battlefield

[fiery shoal]

dont game devs largely work under contracts too?

[hard plume]

Is it hard?

[dapper river]

I don't even have to enter that thread to know exactly what the replies are like lol

[arctic grove]

what

[hard plume]

Moving the goal post

[arctic grove]

No content = dead scoreboard = dead fixes first instead of content = dead

Battlefield 4 was perfect omg

suck it up: the game is dead by AAA standards already

[hexed mango]

https://tenor.com/bSbCh.gif

[arctic grove]

Yeah that’s why you in here coping about it bud

[wide violet]

Bf2142 was perfect

[arctic grove]

i know its a tough pill to swallow but hear me out: you gonna accept it sooner rather than later

[thorny oxide]

I doubt dice will bounce back from this monumental failure

[hard plume]

What aaa game would you say is of good standard?

[hexed mango]

r/battlefield2042 seems a bit better

[wide violet]

bf4 was aight

[arctic grove]

Nah I’ll just keep playing the game

[edgy oriole]

bfv pacific was perfect

[arctic grove]

cool keep playing a dead game

[fiery shoal]

you know this is said about a lot of dice games near launch?

[hard plume]

Is it opposite day?

[hearty flame]

until that second ttk change

[arctic grove]

Go back to boomer field 4 then

i dont care if you do really

[radiant prism]

Man, if I had a nickel for every time I heard someone say that over the past, what, decade of games? I probably wouldn't be rich because its a nickel, but I'd have a pretty solid sum of money

[arctic grove]

which has more players than 2042 💀

[edgy oriole]

i think i told someone last week theyd bitch just like this

[arctic grove]

Oh there it is lol

but jokes aside im playing bfv

L game

[fiery shoal]

would bf4 be playable at this time compared to 2042?

[hexed mango]

maybe... idk

[arctic grove]

which has like 20k players on steam alone, 2042 only has like 1k LOL

[arctic grove]

HAHA PLAYER NUMBERS GUY THIS GUY IS AWESOME

[thorny oxide]

BFV is years older than 2042, and it still has more concurrent players

[arctic grove]

V is ass

[thorny oxide]

Nobody wants to play this piece of shit game

[arctic grove]

yep brutally representative of reality

[fiery shoal]

all time peak is 12k...

[arctic grove]

Nobody wants to hear you

[hard plume]

V was ass then and it’s still ass now

[arctic grove]

and has more players than 2042 rn

[thorny oxide]

It is a slap in the face to fans of the battlefield franchise

[arctic grove]

Oh no

[hexed mango]

well that only recently was added to steam, i think thats different
mainly cause many people probably didnt rebuy it on steam but rather kept it on origin like i did

[hard plume]

Shhhhh stop bringing in facts

[arctic grove]

2042 has ruined their lives

[hard plume]

Left cheek or right?

[thorny oxide]

And the developers get pissed at the fans when they expect a finished product on release

[hexed mango]

both :)

[arctic grove]

too brutal

[arctic grove]

Who

[fiery shoal]

basically dead even...

[hard plume]

Hawt

[runic prism]

Fucking i got kicked from my match cancer dice

[arctic grove]

Nooo don’t show him facts

how dare people expect a working game on release which is actually worth 60€

How dare you

oh wait we have to lure people into our live service scheme first

[thorny oxide]

Just barely beating it

[hexed mango]

(still i agree with nyphon but i think there are people who dont play on steam...)

[thorny oxide]

8 year old game btw

[hard plume]

The game does work though and always has

[arctic grove]

You fuming right now huh

[tribal obsidian]

Can't wait for the update should be fun

[arctic grove]

yeah barely, its still buggy as hell

[fiery shoal]

@thorny oxide @hexed mango im only responding to @arctic grove false claims about steam numbers

[hexed mango]

dice got jokes

[hexed mango]

yeah yeah ik which is why i said i agree

[arctic grove]

i have seen 2042 dip below 1000 into the 800s lmao

[arctic grove]

Oh tank bro I’m stuck

[fiery shoal]

cool?

[hexed mango]

:)))

[arctic grove]

thats just incredibly sad and funny at the same time

[arctic grove]

Help me

for a 5 month old battlefield

[hearty flame]

what are you doing with that repair tool engi-bro?

[tribal obsidian]

Okay

[arctic grove]

Don’t worry bro it’ll help

[fiery shoal]

its just sad, theres people that like the game that likely cant play, and youre essentially getting joy out of it because "lul 2042 bad"? grow up

[hearty flame]

just gotta give you a good hard drilling

[hard plume]

Heeeey you got the month right, im proud of you

[arctic grove]

how about you take a look at the facts surrounding bfv

[arctic grove]

Hopefully my wheels won’t fall off

[hearty flame]

just mind your exhaust lol

[arctic grove]

L game plus ratio

those dont look too good for 2042 do they?

[tribal obsidian]

Who really cares, honestly

[arctic grove]

He does

[tribal obsidian]

Evidently

[arctic grove]

The only one tbh lol

bf4 is a 9 year old game at this point, being on par with a 5 month old bf is just hilarious

[tribal obsidian]

It's just a video game broseph

[arctic grove]

Dude no one is agreeing with you at all

[tribal obsidian]

Can't hurt you

[arctic grove]

refute it then

[arctic grove]

People did already with screen shots

[haughty plume]

What does "time to live "mean in the patch notes for Bolte?????

[arctic grove]

that bf4 is matching 2042?

despite being 9 years old lol

V also sucks

[fiery shoal]

we arent refuting claims like 2042 having a low player count is bad, we all know it, youre meme takes are just old and no one wants to hear it...

[tribal obsidian]

This isn't a debate lol

[arctic grove]

It’s the same shit being spit out by other people over & over you’re not trying to be funny it’s just edgy & point less

idk why yall trying to sugarcoat tf out of this game

[hard plume]

@arctic grove what would you say is a solid aaa game right now

[arctic grove]

elden ring 100%

[fiery shoal]

no one defending the game, people are just annoyed with you

[arctic grove]

You can leave this channel if you want to

[tribal obsidian]

????

[arctic grove]

a game actually worth every penny

Another L take

still in the middle of my playthrough

[hexed mango]

cope but in irish

[tribal obsidian]

It's fun in its current state for me, there's no sugarcoat

[wanton magnet]

No clue, but I’m really hoping the thing they wrote below it meant the Bolte now has lower health.

[wide violet]

were 6 months into the game, we all know its bad. There just a niche group of ppl that like the game

[drifting lichen]

wassup everyone

[arctic grove]

& it’s annoying to hear L dead game

[hard plume]

Okay what percentage of the player base would you say a game has to lose before it’s considered dead

[arctic grove]

it depends if its a AAA game or not

[hard plume]

Lets go with aaa

[haughty plume]

Engine strength means it's slower and it does way less damage maybe ur right it probably does mean health

[plucky pebble]

lmao

[thorny oxide]

If all of your older games are doing better in concurrent players you have to ask yourself “have i made a mistake?”

[drifting lichen]

if you hate the game just leave and don’t play it
if you like the battlefield franchise but hate the new installment, yes speak your criticism but don’t harass others if they enjoy it

[arctic grove]

i would say about 70% of its player base

[arctic grove]

I HavE made A mIStAkE

[fiery shoal]

i "define" dead by even large regions not being able to regularly get full lobbies

[hexed mango]

idk i dont think its a health thing
engine strength is speed
damage is how much it does

[arctic grove]

maybe 80% before its considered really dead

[wanton magnet]

That would be great to just blow them up after a rocket or 2.

[thorny oxide]

If u like the game thats your choice, all the power to you

[fiery shoal]

losing 70% of a playerbase (especially in terms of peak), isnt that hard...

[tribal obsidian]

Halo Infinite isn't dead

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/peace-out-gif-22295199

[arctic grove]

that game has other problems though

[drifting lichen]

Halo infinite isn’t dead, it’s just very dry right now

[fiery shoal]

halo has lost 97% of its peak player count, game is still alive

[tribal obsidian]

5.5k players down from 256k

[thorny oxide]

Halo is suffering from a content drought

[tribal obsidian]

So is bf2042

[wanton magnet]

Oh damn. Well that still helps if it makes it easier to shoot the driver/passenger out of it. They need to get rid of that black tint the windows have.

[tribal obsidian]

Doesn't make it dead

[drifting lichen]

I don’t get why people go out of their way to harass people who enjoy a game they don’t

[arctic grove]

bf2042 has like 2k players compared to a peak of like 100+k

thats insanely dead

[tribal obsidian]

Aight?

[drifting lichen]

there’s still people playing it…

[sage ingot]

Is the internet, a major sin is to not agree with me, the first rule is "My tater>your taste"

[tribal obsidian]

Those 2k people sure seem to enjoy it enough to play it

[wide violet]

I mean the word dead would imply no one plays it

[drifting lichen]

that doesn’t mean it’s fully dead

[fiery shoal]

as long as you can get into a match its not dead

[arctic grove]

a match filled with bots sure

[fiery shoal]

region dependent

[wide violet]

the word youre looking for is "low"

[drifting lichen]

I can get into a match within 20 seconds on PS4 so I’m having tons of fun

[tribal obsidian]

I get into a match in <10 seconds NA

[haughty plume]

Or with agm that would make the f35 t1 grind much easier

[tribal obsidian]

Far from dead

[hexed mango]

ok but that's the difference of last gen and console

[sage ingot]

Funny yoke, unless you are like in OC or EA

[plucky pebble]

lmao

[fiery shoal]

yea im na west, and it took like 30 seconds to get into full 128 player matches consistently

[drifting lichen]

last gen is console

[hexed mango]

only ps4 and xb1

[wanton magnet]

It’s music to my ears. Watching those shitty boltes get murdered.

[hexed mango]

other consoles like ps5, xb1 sx/s are next gen with pc

[drifting lichen]

ok ?

[fiery shoal]

people in here acting like steam is the only source for players... its not even the only source of players for pc, theres origin and egs too

[hexed mango]

so, as a last gen console you are subject to different lobbies

[drifting lichen]

yeah no duh

[hexed mango]

ik i was just saying

[drifting lichen]

that’s why I said PS4

[sage ingot]

Also, the ammount of people does not equals the game being dead, hence why lots of people considers TF2 to be a dead game despite pulling absolute giant numbers day after day

[wide violet]

egs? wait nvm

[tribal obsidian]

2042 might not gain players back but it can pretty much only get better from here

[hexed mango]

epic

[fiery shoal]

epic game store, likely not a lot of people bought through there, but its still a factor

[wide violet]

lmaooo just remembered epic exists

[drifting lichen]

BF4 came out with a terrible launch and yet now it’s being praised as one of the best battlefields

[hexed mango]

^

[edgy oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/go-away-oops-awkward-big-eyes-gif-16408506

[plucky pebble]

oh yeah i can get full lobbies in hardline 💀

[arctic grove]

wait which tf2

[tribal obsidian]

^

[drifting lichen]

I feel like the same will probably happen to 2042

[tribal obsidian]

Team Fortress I would imagine

[wide violet]

yall. bf2142 was the best battlefield

[sage ingot]

Yeah, we say that every single day here, that when the next battlefield releases, this one is gonna be considered a staple of the series, happened to 3, 4, V and 1

[hexed mango]

idk any other tf2 lol

[haughty plume]

It just makes infantry so much less fun to get ran over every second

[arctic grove]

titanfall

[hearty flame]

I mean hes right though. almost no one is buying games on egs. its not even expected to make a profit until 5-10 years from now

[tribal obsidian]

like 20k consistent real players, I'm even redownloading it right now

[hexed mango]

ok but who would talk about that lol

[arctic grove]

idk

[sage ingot]

Titanfall was born dead

[edgy oriole]

yeah what idiot would buy games on egs

[hexed mango]

we all know star wars: jedi fallen order is still the best game ok

[sage ingot]

KOTOR would like a word with you

[hexed mango]

jfo > kotor

:)

even though kotor is god

if you're counting what counts as a real star wars game, jfo is the best out of the cannon games, with swbf2 and squadrons being prominent aswell
i wont mention swbf1 cause it doesnt have a story lel

[hearty flame]

anyone who wants their exclusive games but thats about it i think

[wanton magnet]

Exactly, it’s just lame and sometimes there’s seven of them on the map. But let’s see hopefully tomorrow that gets fixed.

[tribal obsidian]

I'm more of a fan of Rogue Squadron 64 myself

[sage ingot]

1v1 spawn to spawn on kaidoscope

[drifting lichen]

I’m excited for tomorrows patch, this is gonna bring a lot of new fixes and VoIP finally

[plucky pebble]

ew

[arctic grove]

the divine revelation of voip is upon the battlefield community

[tribal obsidian]

You download egs to play fortnite and free stuff that's pretty much it

[wanton magnet]

Damn idk, both games are incredible but KOTOR has so many options

[hard plume]

People better fucking use it after complaining of it not being there

[edgy oriole]

i cant wait to insta mute people tomorrow

[arctic grove]

Did they even mention ads bug

[hearty flame]

unfortunately epics got that fornite money for all the final fantasies and borderlands and such

[hexed mango]

yes but i was thinking of cannon games

[sage ingot]

Just dont come in here ok? I plan not to, this place is gonna be filled to the brim with redditors complaining about things that do not exist, bugs that do not happen and features that were never announced

[edgy oriole]

idk maybe check and see

[arctic grove]

I didn't see anything

[hard plume]

Wednesday should be okay

[hexed mango]

cause jfo's story was so good they added cal's light saber to the disney galaxy's edge collection...

iden in swbf2 was also really good though

[sage ingot]

Is gonna become second nature for me, join game, mute the whole lobby

[edgy oriole]

bruh

[wanton magnet]

I can finally say, “WAIT DONT DO IT HE’S CAMPING MY BODY”

[tribal obsidian]

Text chat is fun enough by itself, voip is going to be pristine

[hexed mango]

lel

[drifting lichen]

I wish text chat worked better on console

[hard plume]

Only for them to do it anyways

[onyx star]

BFV is the best purchase anyone can make. The soundtrack is beautiful, absolutely no recoil, and the revive animation doesn’t look like you are f*cking your teammate

[plucky pebble]

text chat but for all not only team that sucks

[arctic grove]

There's nothing in patch notes. Why would I read this shit if I have EA patch notes

[sage ingot]

I still dont get all the rage about voip if the operators talk and literally tell you everything you need to know about the match and the current situation, but ok

[tribal obsidian]

Yeah

[hard plume]

What system you got?

[wanton magnet]

🤣 well at that point I don’t feel guilty, I warned them.

[drifting lichen]

PS4

[plucky pebble]

L take

[edgy oriole]

its okay to be wrong. ha sarcasm right

[hexed mango]

ok questions:

Should i stay up till midnight on a weeknight to install update?

[sage ingot]

nah

[wide violet]

god no

[arctic grove]

What?

[hexed mango]

lol

[tribal obsidian]

Alright

[wide violet]

go play vampire survivor @hexed mango

[hexed mango]

ill just play when i get home from school ig

[edgy oriole]

oops found ADS at top of patch notes. haha. sarcasm amiright

[hexed mango]

ima play jfo once i get my mods setup

[wanton magnet]

Yes they did.
