battlefield-2042

[undone bone]

Sorry but nightclubs 100% waste of money lol. I could get the ingredients to make my old fashioned's all weekend long for like 35$ as opposed to 7.50$ for a cooler.

[arctic grove]

I rather save that money that I would spend on drinks. I don't need that "feeling" anymore. Life is good so no reason to try to feel "better".

[undone bone]

Anyways back to 2042;

Thankfully I'm NA. The region still seems to get pre full lobbies

[median oracle]

iv just tried to join a server in each game mode and have been unsuccessful

[undone bone]

You may need to re-enable crossplay in settings

[arctic grove]

Be quiet

[low timber]

And the repair kit won’t heal tanks anymore how few hit points.

[grizzled whale]

ayo new map screen

[upbeat sand]

some guy is breathing and eating through his voip mic

[undone bone]

Gold

[hazy sun]

still a little wait , but i was getting some semi full rounds

[grizzled whale]

what did you expect

[median oracle]

have a sook bro

[solemn bridge]

how is the update boys

[arctic grove]

But you wanted Voip! You got it!

[arctic grove]

Heh. Well I don't spend money there xD. On Sunday we made 160k, on Thursday we made 180k 😏

[upbeat sand]

he is just grunting like he's a mid life crisis fat man sitting at his chair for to long

[arctic grove]

Your name is silence. You are not silent. I can hear your typing away on the keyboard with blue switches!

[undone bone]

To be fair, this kind of stuff is why a lot of people wanted VoIP lul

Does produce funny situations

[arctic grove]

Can get those OLD StoneMountain moments haha

Voip is awesome! It is a must have.

[undone bone]

Proximity chat in open world games is also mintt

[median oracle]

you have and _ in your name go back to 2010

[arctic grove]

Stonemountain is still around?

[upbeat sand]

1 time in bfv i had my voip and it was set to alawys on for some reason so my squad just heard never gonna give you up through it so they kicked me

[arctic grove]

Yeah he is still around, though not as big as he used to be.

[undone bone]

Wrong, 2010 was xX[name]Xx

[arctic grove]

Anybody noticed animations feels smoother?

Especially like sliding

[undone bone]

That's great, I love that for you.

[arctic grove]

Hahah😂😂

[upbeat sand]

yes and melee looks smooth now

[median oracle]

my bad hahahahah

[arctic grove]

Here ya go. I am now in 2020

[arctic grove]

Nice

[median oracle]

your name is also in all caps and theres a number in there

[undone bone]

[upbeat sand]

and also i have the ea play bf1 melee in 2042 and your caracter does a sort of swoosh before pulling it backlike very smoothly

[undone bone]

Wus wrong with numbers

[median oracle]

its not clean to have number in your name

[arctic grove]

Fixed. Anything else?

[undone bone]

What if the number is a reference?

[median oracle]

now you got a semi nice gamer tag

[median oracle]

to what

[arctic grove]

What if I am not a gamer?

[upbeat sand]

maximum level in game sould be 420

[undone bone]

I grabbed the Gali1eo in my name from a TV show called Salvation. Where one of the scientists takes Gali1eo as his handle when he joins a hacker group.

[arctic grove]

I like how people assume that you are a gamer if you are in a gaming discord.

[median oracle]

Salvation is clean

[rotund cloak]

He aint gamer if he is clean

[median oracle]

are you not a gamer

[sage eagle]

played 2 matches after update, now ready to afk again

[arctic grove]

I don't play games, I just like to chat with people around the world

[radiant thunder]

okay, I have the patch installed but I don't know if the controller issue is fixed yet

[undone bone]

Ngl, sometimes sitting in discord chatting with people you have fun chatting with slapps harder than gaming.

[arctic grove]

This!

[sage eagle]

let's chat mf

[hazy sun]

if only it was civil all the time

[rotund cloak]

Why would you want to get slaped tho

[median oracle]

thats facts

[undone bone]

#general is pre chill to hang out in if you don't mind talking about stuff unrelated to 2042/bf.

[rotund cloak]

You are doing it right now

[solar nymph]

How’s the update everyone?

[median oracle]

or just shitting on the game

[hazy sun]

defeats the purpose of meeting people who are also into 2042

[clear quail]

a step in the right direction

[solar nymph]

Nice to hear, apparently it’s made the game more enjoyable?

[dapper berry]

can confirm

[undone bone]

Excited to get off work to play a few games

[dapper berry]

there's less of a feeling that you're fighting the game

[clear quail]

it has yes

[arctic grove]

Probs too soon but how’s vehicle balance?

[solar nymph]

Awesome news, I look forward to the specialists core feedback

[undone bone]

Hopefully from it comes locked gadgets

[hazy sun]

its stable, nothing game breaking yet, but its only been an hour.

[undone bone]

[dapper berry]

i had a match in breakthrough 64 that didn't feel like i kept dying to vehicles

[arctic grove]

Dudes, what if all the guns from portal just get enabled to be used in aow/hz

[rotund cloak]

Animations is more needed than graphics in my opinion

[undone bone]

Would be pre fun.

[dapper berry]

wdym ?

[median oracle]

its been 15 min now and i still havnt found a game

[arctic grove]

Ikr!

[undone bone]

Did you double check your crossplay setting?

[rotund cloak]

I hated everytime i run in 2042 my left hand doesnt know what it wants to do

[arctic grove]

I might buy 2042. I have never played a game

[median oracle]

yeah its on

[undone bone]

Oof, unfortunate

[dapper berry]

that's fixed, it was a big gripe of mine too

[solar nymph]

Don’t yet, wait

[arctic grove]

How I can't use an ak74 as dozer with 2042 attachment

[arctic grove]

For?

[undone bone]

Better to get the ea play (like 10$ or something I think) and get the 10 hr trial.

[arctic grove]

Yes. That is my plan😀

[undone bone]

Worst case you waste 10$. Best case you realize you like the game and don't waste a lot more.

[clear quail]

which mode u trynna play on?

[hazy sun]

15$ is a month long trial

[undone bone]

[arctic grove]

If u make a new Microsoft acc and sign in at the same time as ur main u can get unlimited trial

[solar nymph]

The game to add more stuff. There may of been a good update today but overall it still lacks what you would like to see from a battlefield game

[pine roost]

It said in the notes that they updated the scoreboard ui, could someone post a screenshot of it? I’m not sure if it’s technical changes or visual ones

[median oracle]

any hahahha

[rotund cloak]

Thats what i mean by animation is more needed then graphics, i can play elden ring np and it doesnt have best graphics but that hand in 2042 is making me go crazy

[arctic grove]

Fucc the scoreboard I want access to all the weapons in the create a class

[clear quail]

you asia or na?

[arctic grove]

Weird how you know what I like after commenting to me only a few times.

[solar nymph]

Buy it then lmao

[arctic grove]

There are 60 weapons in the game and ppl talking about it like there are only 22

[arctic grove]

EA play as already stated😀

[solar nymph]

😀

[arctic grove]

Like the game showcase?

[undone bone]

Imo time spent making run on old-gen consoles should've been spent on optimization for PC/current gen so more destruction etc could've maybe been squeezed in.

[arctic grove]

with 70% being in portal lol

Ugh

[undone bone]

Dunno why everyone tryna make all games last gen + new gen. Console life cycles ain't changed much the past couple decades.

[arctic grove]

nice try mayuri

This gen prolly gon be the last console gen tbh

B4 everything a computer

[hazy sun]

doubt it

[undone bone]

I mean, aside from software, console/phones are already straight up computers.

[arctic grove]

I'ma jailbreak my Xbox ss if that's even possible

Run wow on a 299$ gaming PC that can run modded skyrim

[runic prism]

I didn't know you could smell the future

[arctic grove]

I can smell u* seananners voice

[radiant thunder]

patch has crashed steam so far

[arctic grove]

The new 1?

[radiant thunder]

yes

[arctic grove]

The 400 changes 1?

[radiant thunder]

the 4.00 yes

[arctic grove]

Idk that was out yet

[radiant thunder]

I may not have had Origin PC app running

[arctic grove]

Lol PC ppl have to open like 5 game services to open 1 game

[clear quail]

yo i never noticed but you can check the number of players required to start the match

shows on the bottom when ur waiting

[undone bone]

I mean for reference, WoW when first released required 4gb RAM. My phone now has 12. Lots have 16. Dunno how to really compare phone CPU's to computer's but.

[arctic grove]

Usually says need x amount

[runic prism]

Finally . Can u also see how much players there are in a match ?

[hazy sun]

you could always see that when you press tab

[arctic grove]

I'm saying I'ma run wow on my SS once I jailbreak it, cuz that's what it'll be if I get windows to run on it

[arctic grove]

Or select on xbox

[runic prism]

Im ps5 idk i can only see the players on the scoreboard. I can’t see the playercount thats what i mean

[rotund cloak]

Yea it was mistake for cyberpunk too, people dont undertstand that they have to optimaze for all those platforms, just too much work for devs and we get worse game at end

[arctic grove]

I think they just slide the graphics settings down a notch rather than port it over

[clear quail]

at the waiting screen? nope

[runic prism]

In a match

[undone bone]

Feel bad for my brother; he tried running 2077 on his og PS4 when it launched. Ran into way more problems than I did running it on my One X.

And it was still atrocious on the One X

[arctic grove]

I have it on a og Xbox1 and it ran fine

[clear quail]

couldn't u always tho?

[hazy sun]

player count is on the score screen it will say X VS X, those are player numbers

[arctic grove]

Yeah

[clear quail]

like just open up the scoreboard

[arctic grove]

Shows u everyone in match but now it shows stats

[clear quail]

ye

[grizzled whale]

I tried using the ntw in normal aow, god damn its useless

[rotund cloak]

And on top of that you have covid and they have to give dev kits to everyone at home and upload every build of game and download new builds for each platform

[grizzled whale]

Vehicles can repair faster than the damage you can output with it

[arctic grove]

Have u tried using the m60 or the Thompson in aow?

[short oyster]

Good. That thing was annoying

[stray python]

can someone explain to me how to create a squad/join a squad in SINGLE PLAYER mode? that i dont have to spawn at base every single time when no flags are captured.... yay running simulator

[undone bone]

But it is amusing hitting body collaterals with it.

[solemn bridge]

how is my game lagging more after the update lol

[arctic grove]

U can't, get a friend

[undone bone]

After it's nerf months back NTW been pre useless vs vehicles.

[grizzled whale]

Those aint in aow

[arctic grove]

I wonder y

[stray python]

so you need a friend to spawn on team, lol

[grizzled whale]

I love using it in hardcore

But in core is useless

[undone bone]

Ayo there's hc now?

I ain't consistently played in months

[arctic grove]

Portal seems to be the "main" game mode here, since that's where everything is

[clear quail]

just create a squad through the friends tab. Then start a singleplayer game. If you wanna spawn at specific locations, u either need a squadmate at that location or the spawn beacon planted at that location

[arctic grove]

There's always a full HC server, but it's always 500% never actually HC settings like 2-3 shit body 1shot headshot

[clear quail]

2-3 shit body yes

[arctic grove]

*shot

[undone bone]

Ah so its a portal thing?

[lament plank]

I really find it hilarious how at the bottom of the notes it says “could change with community feedback” weeellll sure change them…after they are in game. Guess they didn’t think maybe releasing the notes a week ago to get feedback and THEN release it huh?

[arctic grove]

Portal is the the mode dice supporting the most, y tf they even make portal or hz, y isn't everything the game has, WW2,bf3,bc2, all in one thing

[clear quail]

they meant minor changes

[radiant thunder]

alright guys, this fucking controller STILL doesn't work with BF 2042.

[lament plank]

Who’d ever want feedback on game changes before putting them in game??? Lol

[undone bone]

I mean, would you have wanted to wait an extra month to receive the update? It's moreso a liability thing imo.

[arctic grove]

Wat controller?

[clear quail]

that's how games work tho

[rotund cloak]

They cant change in a week anyways so what is point of that

[grizzled whale]

On portal yeah

[undone bone]

F, not interested in portal personally.

[grizzled whale]

Why not

[clear quail]

wbt portal 2

[haughty cipher]

Congratulations your game becomes beta 🤣🤣

[lament plank]

These notes were for sure prepared ahead of time, releasing notes to gauge feedback isn’t a bad thing. There’s no liability?

[grizzled whale]

Its just the game but more fun

[undone bone]

Dunno, tried some of the stuff. Wasn't for me, preferred AoW

[arctic grove]

The changes they actually need to make they can do in a speed patch litteraly in less than 5 minuits like enabling all guns in aow

[haughty cipher]

Finally becoming beta

[arctic grove]

Lol game releases in alpha

[undone bone]

I mean to gauge feedback vs halting the update to rework it based on that feedback is different.

[eternal storm]

They need to create hunt showdown or the cycle frontier type game within the franchise. Hazard zone was a poor attempt

[haughty cipher]

Less then alpha

[lament plank]

Also still nothing in the notes about soflam assists or vehicle on vehicle assists 🙃🙃

[gaunt swift]

Nah. Game released in pre production

[rotund cloak]

Portal for me is like if i wanted to play older games i just go and play older games in their full light

[arctic grove]

Hz not even HC settings

[arctic grove]

That's what that means

[haughty cipher]

First bf every i not found players more then 20 min

[arctic grove]

Dice literally did the exact opposite of what they did in bfv completely ignoring all the good ideas that the game had:/

Cuz they'd spent all that time on firestorm, litteraly the best br map ever made in history but since it was WW2 yk

[eternal storm]

If EA/Dice think adding a map or two or a character in summer is gonna save this game they’re on crack

[arctic grove]

They need to enable all the vehpons

Just put portal weapons in aow and give classes 😾

[arctic grove]

Stop putting miniguns on every vehicle aswell it so stupid

[dry robin]

The game is better rn?

[granite obsidian]

Adaptive triggers on PS5 when

[haughty cipher]

I not believe them

[arctic grove]

Better than launch yes but yk

[eternal storm]

Hazard zone had so much potential such a shame

[arctic grove]

Shoulda been no hud 1shot kill

[undone bone]

Hz just isn't the kind of gameplay I want from a bf tbh

[granite obsidian]

If there are still specialists then the update didn’t fix the game. Move on ladies and gentlemen.

[arctic grove]

Hazard zone was doomed to fail someone coulda made that mode in a week

[undone bone]

Specialists would be aight if they had been done properly.

[arctic grove]

Yeah ikr, hz has a fkn minimap unlike tarkov, tkv doesn't have cross hairs and hz does

[eternal storm]

I understand, but to compete nowadays it needs at a bare minimum the game modes that bfV had plus something unique

[arctic grove]

Just make hz hc

Bring back frontlines and outpost😡

[eternal storm]

Look at halo- you can’t run the same shit 20 years later and maintain amassive player base. I can’t stand cod/warzone now but it always has tons of content and modes

[rotund cloak]

It needs to be rewarding before anything

[upbeat sand]

average k30 fan
average M5A3, Shortened barrel, close quarters enjoyer

[granite obsidian]

Maybe in COD. Never in battlefield imo. Remember back when the squad system required different types of players like the medic and the sniper. That made battlefield. Removing that left a husk of what battlefield is supposed to be.

[rotund cloak]

Hz is just ea trying to get both br and extract player base at once and it failed

[arctic grove]

No it doesn't, it's rewarding enough to win if it's 1 shot kill trust me 8 squads of 4 and you don't know where shit is

[eternal storm]

Truth, we don’t even get vehicle assists for kills now lol

[arctic grove]

They just need to respect the fact that they aint gonna get away with tryna move battlefield away from what it is.

[undone bone]

I mean bo4 was the last CoD I touched and it was purely for zombies. I haven't actively played CoD mp since bo3.

Bf just has a better formula for more fun & dynamic mp. Least when they do it right

[upbeat sand]

player count has gone up by 800 with current of the last 14 mins of: 1,842 players

[granite obsidian]

I’ll only ever play cod for zombies nowadays tbh

[soft swallow]

I like new update

[arctic grove]

I wanna know what console player count is,

[pine roost]

The lack of a class system just makes the game feel so generic. I enjoyed the decision making that occurred with the class system so now it’s just hollow

[strong snow]

Damn player count still didn’t go up

[arctic grove]

Zombies is good example of what happens when devs try to force change

[eternal storm]

But looking at it from a content point of view cod just dwarfs this franchise. With that EA money they should be trying new things and making better decisions

[arctic grove]

U can kinda check a games activity on Xbox on the built in lfg, u can see how many ppl looking for group

[undone bone]

Tis an opinion I've stated before; requiring classes to attempt to force teamplay does a poor job of actually forcing teamplay when playing with randos. And if you're playing with a pre-made you can still take the required loadouts in 2042 for what classes tried to force.

[rotund grail]

Most sane people are asleep

[undone bone]

But specialists need to be gadget locked to enable some form of meta.

[arctic grove]

Field upgrades!!!

[eternal storm]

Then how would you encourage team play form2042

[arctic grove]

Just add the portal classes to aow

[undone bone]

I think designing 2042 to be a BR was a horrible decision.

[strong snow]

Most of Europe would be awake sir! It’s between 11-2pm

[arctic grove]

2042 a war sim more than anything

[granite obsidian]

Also calling in vehicles on the battlefield is a big no-no for me

[arctic grove]

2042 is a cringe fest

[rotund grail]

the first match after the patch I didn't get my xp, but I did get xp the next two matches

[eternal storm]

I agree, but my opinion is it should have it as an extra mode. Like cod has its base game PLUS BR if you want it, that way we have options

[undone bone]

Lock gadgets to specialist classes. Does the same thing as classes as far as attempting to force teamplay as well as enabling players to have a skill for more dynamic loadouts and doesn't lock weapon classes.

[arctic grove]

just a friendly reminder that specialists are designed from the ground up solely to be money printers and soulless mtx machines

[rotund cloak]

Not even close

[granite obsidian]

Common knowledge

[arctic grove]

just so you know

Even after all this it still has the best visuals

[rotund grail]

well alot of people are either sleeping or at work

[eternal storm]

Maybe but it’s been 6 months and there’s barely any cosmetics anyways lol

[arctic grove]

Wym it's Litteraly like real life

[arctic grove]

2042 looks like a game from 2015 bruh even bf1 looks better

[strong snow]

Battlefield is a mature community, I don’t think anyone wants a br anyway.

[arctic grove]

and that game came out 6 years ago

[eternal storm]

Nah play the game with no HUD it’s stunning. Character modeling is shit but graphics are good

[undone bone]

I mean, BR's are aight. But people don't play bf for a BR experience.

[median oracle]

my verdict to finally playing a game after the update my opinion hasnt changed the game still plays the same still nothing to do

[granite obsidian]

EA knew the game would be empty which is why they didn’t make a single player. The multiplayer is actually a single player because everyone playing is a bot!

[arctic grove]

R u blind 2042 best visuals rn

[eternal storm]

No considerable difference then?

[arctic grove]

thats a big reason why the game failed like it did, complete lack of game direction and perplexing game design

[upbeat sand]

did my caracter just say "ive been on everest and its all been down hill from here, get it"

[arctic grove]

Ist obv the games stunning in visual department even though the gameplay isn't

its painfully obvious the game was conceptualized as a br

[undone bone]

For sure, that and releasing when they did.

[arctic grove]

But the physics are fkn amazing too

[median oracle]

its the same game nothing has changed

[undone bone]

The vehicle physics are the opposite of amazing imo.

[arctic grove]

Bullet physics

add to that that dice is nowadays run by amateurs and interns and you got yourself a recipe for absolute disaster

[eternal storm]

I’ve been playing rising storm 2, world war 3, cycle the frontier and those games are infinitely more fun than battlefield as fps

[arctic grove]

They fired the creative director

[granite obsidian]

It’s like they tried to make a BR game when warzone was super popular but then that fell off and they just went back and made some half-assed changes and called it a day

[arctic grove]

Ive just been on mw

[arctic grove]

thats actually almost exactly what happened, and the qa testers were utterly neglected and ignored

they pointed out obvious issues and the devs just ignored it or downplayed it as a non-issue

and before you say "but you have no proof of that!": these are based on testimonies from actual qa testers, anonymous or not

[grizzled whale]

more like EA told them to make a BR game, then halfway trough told them "nah, make a regular BF game, but you aint getting more time" and when they did ask for another year EA said nah

[shy latch]

yo, how is the update? I didn't try yet

[arctic grove]

Same

[arctic grove]

Like it

[pine roost]

Would have been even sadder if it came out as a br, would have died even quicker

[grizzled whale]

nerfed mackay Bhopping, game ruined

[granite obsidian]

Same game therefore 💩

[arctic grove]

How significant did it change the game tho

[grizzled whale]

not much

[arctic grove]

its just a bunch of bug fixes and obscure changes

Hmm

it didnt change the core game at all

My favourite part is when base is 700 metres from nearest objective😁😁

Facc

wait hold on they added very innovative voip

[undone bone]

Will be nice to see those proposed map changes roll out for gameflow.

[arctic grove]

Run across the whole GTA v map to get from alpha to bravo

[grizzled whale]

the core game doesnt need changes

[granite obsidian]

Bugs are not even the issue. Game needs a whole new rerelease

[grizzled whale]

ist pretty much everything around it that needs changes

[arctic grove]

the core game reeks of shit, it was designed as a br

[arctic grove]

tHe CoRe GaMe DoEsN't NeEd ChAnGeS

[undone bone]

[shy latch]

is it so bad? 🤔, but what about the annoying bugs?

[arctic grove]

So shit the way they forced vehicles

[grizzled whale]

the only thing thats left of that outside of HZ is the specialists and vehicle call-ins

[granite obsidian]

• EA devs

[frail sparrow]

What changes you want for 2042's core gameplay?

[arctic grove]

maybe when the bugs are fixed the core game's issues will become more apparent

[pine roost]

What about the unrestricted weapon pool and gadgets?

[arctic grove]

Actually bugs are gone for the most part

[undone bone]

Peeps have said the game feels better to play now. Heard some comment about improved performance this time round.

[arctic grove]

Everything lmao

[granite obsidian]

How about making it an actual battlefield game?

[frail sparrow]

Haha, kinda broad. Top 3 most wanted stuff then? :3

[rotund cloak]

What does everything mean

[shy latch]

performance improved on what? PC or general improvement?

[granite obsidian]

Play battlefield 1 then go on this mess. You’ll see what needs changes

[arctic grove]

Portal guns and classes and maps in aow HC hazard zone and hc playlist for aow and dedicated servers for aow

[undone bone]

Main thing for me is specialists need gadgets to be locked and the map design needs to be focused on. Then add some more weapons, specialists etc with the seasons and balance the shiz.

[arctic grove]

It means they gotta change core gameplay all around

[grizzled whale]

gunplay - 8/10
movement - 9/10
mechanics - 6/10
now performance and maps need a lot of work

[arctic grove]

i have seen improved performance reports on pc

[undone bone]

I assume they were PC peeps talking about it, dunno for sure.

[silk jasper]

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/u6qhdg/some_interesting_info_in_the_comments_section_of/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf they did ignore them

[frail sparrow]

Oh need to check it out. Preupdate runs badly on my rig xd

[arctic grove]

The only thing that's left of bf is conquest on big maps

[shy latch]

oh good

[rotund cloak]

No offance but bf1 gunplay is worse than every fps game ever

[flat tusk]

Select 4 specialists as the 4 main classes have the rest and just skin designs core fixed ez

[arctic grove]

1: Removal of specialists
2: Infantry based maps
3: Take mini guns off every damn car😾

[arctic grove]

Is deeval code for "dev" are u from dice?

[grizzled whale]

Source: "Trust me bro"

[arctic grove]

Tbh, yeah. Can't control the bloom and the recoil is just overall weird

but i mean dice are bound to the sunk cost fallacy so they wont redesign the game because that would be like admitting the game was shit from the beginning

[rotund cloak]

Half life 1 has less spread then that game tbh

[granite obsidian]

The closed beta was a mess. I experience it first hand.

[frail sparrow]

Dedicated servers would be neat

[shy latch]

yes but don't tell anyone, it's a secret

[arctic grove]

Ik it

[grizzled whale]

specialists are fine, they just need to restrict tools to certain specialists
Maps i agree
Miniguns dont really do much damage

[silk jasper]

There are no performance improvements on the patch notes whatsoever what ever claims you see are purely paceblo

[arctic grove]

[silk jasper]

Unfortunately

[arctic grove]

Oh yeah. He's the ceo of dice

[grizzled whale]

nerfing mackay's Bhopping and decreasing the grapple range isnt in there too yet they did it

[arctic grove]

Theres no need for transport vehicles to have weapons on though it so stupid

[arctic grove]

there is a small benchmark on reddit which shows an 8% improvement under optimal conditions

[fallen thorn]

Is the update worth playing? Feels like it just some fixes but nothing interesting, really... I might wait for the next one

[low sparrow]

Did they cap in menu/lobby fps this patch?

[arctic grove]

To 30?

[arctic grove]

They should for passenger like all transports b4 them

i emphasize the word optimal here because its not representative of actual gameplay performance

[undone bone]

Couldn't have been people having hope most of the stuff would be fixed by release because the cbt version was a week or two old when we played it.

[arctic grove]

I had a lot of fun in the beta but don't tell anyone

Hehe same

[crimson epoch]

The game same shit !!!

[undone bone]

It was fun, had some major issues though

[grizzled whale]

pretty much every transport vehicle had weapons on them since BF3-4, why is it a problem in 2042

[arctic grove]

then again the beta was apparently "3 months old" and the launch build didnt fix shit

[silk jasper]

Well given the fact that the game released in this given state then his comment proves that fact, even if it wasn’t true then it is clear there was a lack of testing and/or quality control

[rotund grail]

I think it feels better now. ADS bug seems to be gone, that was one of the worst. It's still never going to be "good enough" for alot of players but that ship has long sailed.

[undone bone]

Daym, I heard it was like 2 weeks old when we played it

[low sparrow]

I mean any cap would be nice 30/60.
I have to cap the whole game fps from NVIDIA settings or the game sucks like 300-350watts in the waiting lobby.

[arctic grove]

They fixed flickering and player aura glitches

[granite obsidian]

I was one of those people who thought... “hey! This is a super early build, just a bit of polish and we’re all good!” Oh how wrong I was

[arctic grove]

was just a fabricated lie to calm down the public and a means for damage control

[low timber]

Oh, wildcat has a new minimap icon, not the same that the light vehicles used before.

[arctic grove]

It has an fps cap?

[grizzled whale]

All we know is that there was a lack of time to actually finish the game, they had to do everything they could to release it in a (semi) functioning state, so they didnt really have the time to change the game based on tester feedback

[arctic grove]

THEN THEY COULD HAVE DELAYED IT

[arctic grove]

Lmao since they far stronger in 2042. In almost every other game main transport was quad bikes or small cars with a mounted lmg which literally did fuck all

[undone bone]

Yeah, had hopes the launch would've been better as well. Glad to see some of the proposed map changes though.

[arctic grove]

Wildcat will be a better bolte now tbh. It has 40mm cannons

[rotund grail]

yeah I noticed that. also the cap points in breakthru mode seem to have different icons now

[umbral island]

Is the new update good?

[grizzled whale]

Currently, they ARE listening to that feedback, and thats why we dont get content, they are now trying to make the game they wanted to release but didnt get enough time for

[arctic grove]

i dont feel bad for dice or ea in the slightest, they brought this failure upon themselves and have to eat the consequences

[arctic grove]

I still am one of those ppl

[grizzled whale]

THEY WANTED TO BUT EA DIDNT GIVE THEM MORE TIME

[low sparrow]

Yea that's what I am enquiring about.
NVIDIA control panel can cap fps but its whole game wide so in game fps is limited too not just the menu/lobby

[grizzled whale]

dont you use caps on me when you dont know the whole story

[arctic grove]

They're spying on us right now. It could be you, it could be me, it could even be

[arctic grove]

Nope we face the consequences. They still got their money

[arctic grove]

those same devs who wanted to also didnt listen to their qa testers and were hellbent on pushing through their shitty design

[grizzled whale]

Its been known for ages that DICE wanted to delay the game for another year, but EA said "nah fuck it we want money"

[arctic grove]

Idk cuz I'm on console, we usually get left out of graphics settings like that

[undone bone]

Isn't always up to the devs 100% unfortunately. Joys of having a board that pressures you. Twas one of the issues with 2077 as well.

[arctic grove]

the devs arent innocent, they are just as guilty

[arctic grove]

The hype was unparalleled to anything b4 tbh

[grizzled whale]

again, they did that because they literally didnt have time to listen to that feedback because they had to release a year earlier than they wanted

[rotund grail]

we can play the blame game all day, every day. but i'd rather just play an actual game

[arctic grove]

Devs were arrogant and didn’t listen to what the community wanted

[arctic grove]

testimonies from 2042 qa testers during production paint a different picture

[fallen thorn]

brutal expectations? pls don't xD

[arctic grove]

The game was the most hype since cp or mw

Set the expectations, then call them brutal

[low sparrow]

If still no lobby fps cap its pretty stupid .
With the amount of time I usually have to spend in lobby that kind of energy wastage is palpable.

[grizzled whale]

all ive seen is people saying they didnt want to listen, which they did because they didnt have the time to apply meaningful changes

[crimson epoch]

Waiting mw 2022

[undone bone]

Should never base your opinion purely on 2nd hand information though.

[arctic grove]

gotta give props to the marketing team i guess

[grizzled whale]

i need to buy a new pc before mw2022 comes out

[silk jasper]

True

[arctic grove]

i dont have any other source though and its the most reliable

[grizzled whale]

really hyped for it but ill just get insta permabanned from it when i try to play

[upbeat sand]

make em shit like bfv so using it in the car = u ded

[arctic grove]

I love how every stupid shit dice say, just turns into a meme, tormenting the devs forever

i have heard nothing positive about dice from qa testers

[undone bone]

Lack of sources doesn't make the one set of information more reliable.

[arctic grove]

This chat is technically 1st/2nd/3rd hand

We all play the game

thats information from the ACTUAL qa testers though you cant get any more reliable than that

[crimson epoch]

Bf2042 Simple shit and dice cant revive him anymore

[silk jasper]

We’ll given the state of the launch then I think it’s clear as daylight there was lack of quality control or testing from dice, I don’t think you need a reliable source to tell you that mate

[low sparrow]

First hand info will never come.
All Beta and qa testers usually are under NDAs

[arctic grove]

you and i dont work at dice as qa testers

[undone bone]

All I saw was a screenshot of an alleged qa tester making a statement.

[arctic grove]

But lmao we do the same shit qa testers do sit and play for hours on end

[surreal crystal]

My man meridia is back

[arctic grove]

we are basically unpaid qa testers

[grizzled whale]

1st hand = usually henderson (which is a questionable source to say the least)
2nd hand = random articles that twisted the already questionable words of tom henderson
3rd hand = a post from a BF influencer on social media that read the article
4th hand = this chat

[unique vortex]

Hey whats the update 4.0 looming like? I cant get on till in like 9 hrs

[arctic grove]

We're my mooneyyeyeyeyd

why do you think games are pushed out unfinished aside from money? so that they dont have to pay qa testers to fix their game

[arctic grove]

☝️

[surreal crystal]

Hendrson is a good homie

[arctic grove]

the player base is the horde of unpaid qa testers

[eternal storm]

Does the game have voip now

[surreal crystal]

Yeah

[undone bone]

I mean I'm not disagreeing the launch was horrendous. But that doesn't mean there wasn't factors outside of the actual developer's control that affected any/all of the decisions involved in the release.

[eternal storm]

Does it…actually work bro

[arctic grove]

in many ways the community is better for qa testing than the actual qa employees

[silk jasper]

I like how people are all of a sudden critical of “reliable” sources when this has never been the case for any other reason especially within the gaming industry 😂😂😂😂😂

[arctic grove]

Only took 6 months🤪

[arctic grove]

Prolly cuz other game competition like cod vanguard, they could a delayed and be fine cuz vanguard sold bad

[crimson epoch]

6 months !!!!!

[undone bone]

I mean ain't qa employees basically just contracted gamers a lot of the time?

[arctic grove]

yep vanguard flopped big time

Thought mabey vanguard might take hype away

[umbral island]

Brutal expectations

[grizzled whale]

depends on your definition of reliable

[arctic grove]

I blame the year

It's not dices fault it was 2021

Fps games are a literal scam at this point.

[silk jasper]

I blame Halo!

[arctic grove]

not usually, there are typically real requirements for being a qa tester

[arctic grove]

WHEEEZE

[lilac plinth]

it s good the game now after this update?

[grizzled whale]

another one that read a twisted article and thinks dice blamed halo

[undone bone]

Daym, dream quashed

[arctic grove]

but i wouldnt be surprised if those were the kind of guys dice employs as qa testers lmao

Real req, take a shower and have an income lol both thing gamers don't doo XD

[desert elbow]

People always say “insert long running franchise here used to be better”, it’s honestly just nostalgia in most instances

[fallen thorn]

It's the same but with some bugs fixed and voip added (don't know about the quality, I just assume it works)... nothing really changed besides that

[undone bone]

If you don't question where information you're digesting is coming from you're going to believe anything anyone tells you. The saying take everything with a grain of salt exists for a very valid reason.

[arctic grove]

also i think qa testers in the AAA industry get paid like shit so

[desert elbow]

Like honestly, what made BO2 or MW2 better than the cod games we have now?

[arctic grove]

Dont even try and argue that 2042 or vanguard are better than Bf3 or black ops 1😂😂

and are typically not treated very well

[arctic grove]

Just qol changes then, mabey we'll get better stuff soon

[lilac plinth]

thank u

[arctic grove]

I rented a HC hardline server and played pretty well

[modern rampart]

any way to get battlefield 2042 from origin to ea desktop?

[desert elbow]

I understand people arguing BF3 is better but Cod games are so similar to one another that it’s hard NOT to make an objectively better title than what we’ve had in the past

[undone bone]

I mean all CoD normally is is a rerun of the same mp reskinned but with more zombie lore.

[desert elbow]

Like honestly, what made BO1/BO2 so good

[arctic grove]

Unless ur comparing one from each studio

[arctic grove]

Slower gameplay than mw

[umbral island]

Everything

[arctic grove]

it was functional at release and the game was fast paced and fun

plus it was jampacked with cool features

[fallen thorn]

I loved BO1

[arctic grove]

Blops slow wym

bo2 aint slow

Err1 knows it's slow

[eternal storm]

Anyone been in game and tested voip

[arctic grove]

92FPS on 3440 x 1440, high seems a little low. with a 3080. lmao

if you want a slow game go play mw19

Imo cod as almost gone to far. Instead of making a functional game they opted to force stupid features as the gunsmith as selling points for the sales.

[undone bone]

I've heard someone say they heard someone eating chips or somethin. So it is working

[arctic grove]

not on shipment or shoothouse

[eternal storm]

Lol

[arctic grove]

Blops2 didn't even have sleight of hand or unrealistic fast aiming like ghost s fkn ultra instinct reload speed

doesnt mean its a slow game

[undone bone]

Eyo I liked Ghosts

[arctic grove]

Slowest of the bunch

[undone bone]

[arctic grove]

Cod 2019 slowest cod game to date. Horrendous game

[arctic grove]

Same ghosts was basically mw3 with a different name

the ui was awful

Mw4 pardon me

[scenic pumice]

is the game fixed already on ps5? is it worth redownloading it?

[undone bone]

Peeps hated on it because of extinction

[arctic grove]

Extinction was a meme

[undone bone]

Bugs/performance/balance is better to my understanding. No new content yet

[arctic grove]

the best feature of ghosts is the photorealistic 3d dog and fish model

[arctic grove]

Extinction weere early versions of destiny raids and ppl fkn complain, then aw comes out and ppl complain about jetpacks but go play destiny

[scenic pumice]

thanks ill try it later

[crisp junco]

That fish ai

[undone bone]

I loved in the campaign playing as Riley

[arctic grove]

man those dog and fish models made the game so immersive

[undone bone]

Was fun

[arctic grove]

I prefer ghost cuz I was the only 1 who knew it was actually mw4

the fish moving out of the way when im swimming into them, groundbreaking ai

[crimson epoch]

Cpt price better !!!!

[arctic grove]

Jetpacks were just a selling point as futuristic games were popular at the time.

[undone bone]

It was also just a badass campaign lore.

[arctic grove]

Mw2019 is ghosts 2😮

[crimson epoch]

Infinity warfare need drop mw 2022 !!!

[arctic grove]

Idk aw had the most life like graphics and guns until mw2019

[arctic grove]

Mw2019 is mw5 bro

[arctic grove]

Game as a whole wasnt fun to play

[silk surge]

I just played my first game in 4.0 and I noticed 2 brand new bugs:

The joystick sensitivity while selecting spawn point is so high that it's really hard to choose the correct spawn. (gamebreaking)

EOR wrongfully claimed that I levelled up even though I didn't.

[arctic grove]

Fax

[undone bone]

The whole boots off the ground concept in CoD was nasty imo

[arctic grove]

They need to just let the mw franchise rest. The name is also another selling point used. Black ops also.

[arctic grove]

Probably bugs

[arctic grove]

It was ight in bo3

mw19 was at least a nice reboot

[jolly sleet]

saw someone on Twitter say the game feels rly polished with the new update

[arctic grove]

Fucc bo3

[arctic grove]

Didnt like it personally

[undone bone]

IW/AW though were horrendous games imo

[arctic grove]

That's when cod went to psn

[silk surge]

Other than that, the game feels a lot cleaner now. I like the unnoted UI changes. I'm guessing they changed their minds on moving Bolte to tank pool because it's still in transport....

[arctic grove]

True

[pine jewel]

what did devs think when they further nerfed subsonic ammo?

[arctic grove]

Yeah the whole qol/hud/ interface/ bugs got fixd

[pine jewel]

subsonic ammo is already trash and has so many debuffs compared to buffa and they nerf it further lol

[scenic pumice]

how about the aim assist? did it improve?

[silk surge]

I'm also loving the icon transparency settings. Makes it a lot easier on the eyes.

[arctic grove]

Aim assist? Wha? What's wrong wit aa

[silk surge]

I never have aim assist enabled, can't say much about that unfortunately.

[crimson epoch]

Its só slow ahah !!

[arctic grove]

Get better aim brow

Can we just get a bf3 remaster😫😫😫

[crimson epoch]

I PC player !!

Playing mouse and keyboard !

[silk surge]

Btw mods, can I get permission to tag Freeman? I really want to ask him about the reversal of the promised Bolte changes.

[undone bone]

Or just another bad company.

[arctic grove]

Go to portal

[undone bone]

Uhhh, don't think that's our purview mate.

[silk surge]

No problem.

[undone bone]

Nah like an actual new BC game

[arctic grove]

Bruhhhh, they remade all the bf3 stuff in a new engine but don't enable the stuff on aow like u can even pick up an M16 as a medic type and vise versa with ak24

[solar nymph]

Wait bolt got unnerfed?

[gaunt swift]

Is the game alive again? Last i played i couldnt find any match for 45 minutes.

[silk surge]

Not sure if it got nerfed. But they were supposed to switch it to tank category but didn't.

[scenic pumice]

thanks

[arctic grove]

All the life in 2042 resides in portal

[undone bone]

The cannons did get nerfed. According to the patch notes iirc

[solar nymph]

Oh, thought u meant the missile damage reduction

[slim quiver]

Is it in the patch notes

[dense parcel]

Check your Settings in the general tab: They turned on "Share Usage Data" by default 💀

[undone bone]

As well as passengers in the bolte should be easier to target

[solar nymph]

That’s cool then

[tight sonnet]

Did they add screen safe area

[desert elbow]

I really disagree

[pine roost]

You can change the minimap size now right?

[scenic pumice]

i play on ps5 sorry , controller gang

[tight sonnet]

Aim assist doesn't even work half the time lol

[silk surge]

They shouldn't have nerfed Bolte. Switching it to tank category would have been more than enough. Bolte's 30mm was already extremely neutured compared to how it was back in launch.

[arctic grove]

Why does the scoreboard look like someone use put a bunch of numbers on a excel spreadsheet?

[arctic grove]

Have u found a match in hz?, Breakthrough about the only one in aow that's active

[arctic grove]

I'm on Xbox lol

[scenic pumice]

true dat

[desert elbow]

Fair point about Hz but AOW is always active

[arctic grove]

Yayyyy

[tight sonnet]

But did anyone find screen safe area adjustment

[silk surge]

I disagree. The scoreboard looks extremely clean. Having more info other than kills and death is an upside more than anything.

[clear hull]

holy yikes yeah never mind

[tight sonnet]

I can't find it in ui anywhere ui us huge on my tv

[clear hull]

performance is still bad on PC

[topaz field]

yueah alot of people have that issue

[desert elbow]

Tbh I’d rather keep bad performance over them downgrading the graphics any more than they already have

[tight sonnet]

Even vanguard has an adjustment

[arctic grove]

Yep. I get 90fps with a 3080 on High. lmao. 3440 x 1440. PUBG look better, and I get 200fps. haha

[tight sonnet]

Weird battlefield doesn't battlefield 5 did

[arctic grove]

the one improvement i saw was 8%...

so dont expect anything substantial

I played literally for 10 minutes. and cancelled EA Play.

[dapper berry]

performance isn't improved, but the input feels way better which makes the game smoother

[arctic grove]

they actually dont emulate mouse input now and rather PROCESS IT LIKE ANY OTHER FPS IN EXISTENCE

[silk surge]

I just noticed another really cool change. Loading screen now shows server/gamemode info when playing in PORTAL.

[tight sonnet]

Does character stutter when running still

[dapper berry]

a bit, but way less than yesterday

[arctic grove]

its just perplexing how they managed to mess up mouse input so bad that it was affected by controller settings

[tight sonnet]

Nice

[dapper berry]

less anim glitches too

[arctic grove]

to the point where farming simulator had better mouse input

Step 1: Buy EA Play. Step 2: Install the Game. Step 3: Play the Game. Step 4: Uninstall the game 10 minutes later. Step 5: Cancel EA Play. Step 6: Burn my eyes out with hot spoons to make sure this image is out of my eyes.

[tight sonnet]

What platform

[dapper berry]

i only had one and i've been playing for almost 2 hours

[arctic grove]

pc

[tight sonnet]

Hmm

[flat brook]

2042 is the greatest battlefield ever

[dire quest]

Did they return the 128 bots feature in portal?

[arctic grove]

do vehicles still have parkinsons when driving?

[tight sonnet]

Game performed like garbage on xb1 when I did play test and I never played it again until later and it was actually fun

[arctic grove]

Yes

[desert elbow]

I don’t think 128 was ever an option, it was a glitch

[tight sonnet]

I got it for around 30$

[dapper berry]

define parkinsons

[arctic grove]

jittering back and forth

[craggy forum]

is the update out yet?

[tight sonnet]

Yea

[arctic grove]

128 players alot

[tight sonnet]

#direct-communication

[dapper berry]

they didn't really jitter in the limited amount of time i was in them

[arctic grove]

thats good to know

ANOTHER THING, why tf didn't we get a tutorial on how to use the portal coding thing

Game mode editor

It's super hard

[dapper berry]

i just hopped in a bolte and no jitter, but i'm on a 64p portal match

the game still has issues regarding map balance and overall content quality, but this patch made it more enjoyable for the people that found fun in this game

they're basically polishing the foundation on which to add more content later this year

[undone bone]

Hopefully the changes previewed for the maps and (hopefully) additional ones will make gameflow feel much nicer.

[olive lake]

Cool so that ribbon update across all modes is a huge fucking lie for solo/co-op

Everything is still capped...This game is a total joke.

[dapper berry]

let's hope so, i think they know they have to regain the trust of their players

[dire quest]

Imagine thinking you could level up in solo

[dapper berry]

[arctic grove]

the damage has already been done

[dapper berry]

for a lot of players maybe, doesn't mean they can give up

[olive lake]

https://twitter.com/BattlefieldComm/status/1459317828545298437 You can and should be able to. This cap is supposed to be temporary.

[solar obsidian]

is the update out on pc ?

[dapper berry]

yes

[solar obsidian]

how do i get that download started 😐

[undone bone]

I don't believe they've said it is permanent now, have they?

[olive lake]

They definitely haven't but they've said absolutely nothing.

[solar obsidian]

my ea client wont start that download 🙂

[olive lake]

People have asked, there's a thread that has 200 pages of people asking for solo/co-op to be uncapped. The level of ignorance is unreal

[pale dirge]

yea well when i start battle field i get a black screen

[solar obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/april-fools-joke-dog-its-fine-this-is-not-gif-16757454

[still vault]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-it-have-you-tried-turning-it-off-and-on-again-telephone-on-call-gif-15495555

[undone bone]

I mean they probably aren't going to uncap it until they figure out a way to accurately prevent xp farms. And doing that doesn't seem to be the most pressing issue for the game as a whole at the moment unfortunately.

[solar obsidian]

no luck

[pale dirge]

anybody have any idea why i get a black screen on start

[olive lake]

But its so stupidly easy. Just uncap solo/co-op and leave portal as is!

[still vault]

What EA client? There are two.

[olive lake]

They did that by accident TWICE.

[solar obsidian]

ea new client

[still vault]

EA Desktop?

[solar obsidian]

yes

[still vault]

If you start the game can you then join a server?

[dapper berry]

i think the reason why they haven't is because of bot farm spots

[olive lake]

Is this really a good time to be this stingy when your playercount is only a 1000?

[solar obsidian]

nope, failed

[olive lake]

They need players badly and I can tell you being like this will just hurt the game more

[dapper berry]

it's not but their priorities are currently elsewhere, and it's not a gamebreaking issue imo

there's plenty more to fix, they're probably trying to figure out how to balance bot xp

[olive lake]

They should at least be communicative to the players who prefer solo/co-op. There's no excuse to be this silent and ignorant of those players. Its disgusting how long they've left us in the dark.

Even when they accidentally uncapped everything on solo/co-op, the game was fine! There's no issue.

[dapper berry]

i agree, but corporations gonna corporate

[olive lake]

You level up once every 1 or 2 matches

[still vault]

When all else fails, power cycle all the things, here is a router example 😄

[arctic grove]

power cycling wont do anything, its completely on ea

[still vault]

Sometimes it is, but I would estimate that most of the time a user has issues with this, it has to be solved by the user.

[fiery solar]

what if balfeeld add proximity voice chat with only teammates incase your squad of randoms has no headset

[arctic grove]

power cycling in a case like this is completely bogus advice

if he had packet loss or latency issues it would have been decent advice (although its usually the isp having issues)

[fiery solar]

i think the only reason there is no proximity chat is because the one kid with the shitty mic would ruin the already ruined immersion

[dapper berry]

never hurts to try tho

[solar obsidian]

its just ea client hating me 🙂

[arctic grove]

it doesnt hurt to try but it will most likely not do anything

[still vault]

Agree that a reboot should be enough, but sometimes users just puts the computer into power save mode and then starts up again. Suggesting a power cycle eliminates that.

[brisk hill]

Update! Let's go!

[silk surge]

Man, we finally have EOR scoreboard.

Feels nice to be able to see your stats after the game instead of at the very end of the game.

[still vault]

You probably wont even look at it 😉

[brisk hill]

@silk surge But she never had a helmet?

[silk surge]

Oh, I'll be looking at it after every game. I've been screenshotting the good ones to remember how I did.

[brisk hill]

What helmet you're talking about

[next onyx]

Damn actually had fun tonight, Mouse input doesn't feel scuffed either.

[silk surge]

She had one in the reveal, gameplay and HZ trailer. At some point they decided to remove it.

[pale dirge]

can someone help me out

[brisk hill]

Oh let me take a look then

[solar obsidian]

origina says update ready 🙂

[pale dirge]

my game goes to black screen everytime i start

[next onyx]

Issues with the game still persists like the maps but fuck me the bolte spam is nothing now.

It feels so good.

[brisk hill]

AHHHH I know what you mean

[dapper berry]

condors are bullying @lucid goblet

[silk surge]

Yeah, Bolte was nerfed to shit. I had a guy exit his bolte just to kill me.

[solar obsidian]

origin just auto repair the game lol

[still vault]

Not true (might have altered the press photo slightly)

[next onyx]

I c5'd some dumb fuck who rushed into our spawn and exited his bolte.

[silk surge]

lmao

[solar obsidian]

there are some memes hidden in how ea had 3 different places to download digital games, and non really been solid

[silk surge]

That wouldn't even work pre-nerf. Bolte vs 64 enemies.

[blazing goblet]

using Caspers drone and C5 is the most fun i have had so far

[still vault]

4 technically, EA Desktop, Origin, Steam, Epic

[next onyx]

One thing I've noticed is that guns and characters can now be covered in sand and snow.

[silk surge]

But I still think they should re-buff bolte and just move it to tank category. Bolte will just be another game content that goes unused now.

[solar obsidian]

i dont see steam and epic as places, they still just use origin or ea client mostly

ea had "ea download manager" before origin

[still vault]

They use it as the client, but not as the downloader I think. At least not Steam which downloads the game itself, not sure about Epic.

[next onyx]

Example of snow covering my specialist. I can't remember weather or not it was a thing.

[desert elbow]

I think that was possible before, unless it was just dirt

[dapper berry]

yeah it was

[still vault]

Looooong looooong time ago, and it wasn't good 😄

[solar obsidian]

precisely

[silk surge]

Is it just me or are the movements smoother after 4.0? I feel like traversing through elevation is a lot easier now.

[shy latch]

I brought 2042 from Epic and doesn't download the game, it's download (and update) from Origin app and Epic is used only as launcher to acknowledge the purchase on the account

[dapper berry]

yeah it's overall better

[topaz field]

man i'm sick of these noobs on twitter attacking the devs they need to have that energy for EA CEO !!

[dapper berry]

how about we don't attack anyone on twitter and just vote with our wallets

[silk surge]

It's really sad yeah. One of the devs made an april fools joke that he was resigning from DICE, and people in the comments were saying that they were disappointed that he wasn't. Blatant toxicity against the wrong people.

People need to understand that there were hundreds of people working on 2042. Shitting on a specific dev is so uncalled for.

[shy latch]

the problem is: people doesn't want to understand, and if they do then they don't care

[silk surge]

And that is why DICE doesn't engage with the community. We really don't deserve their engagement at this point.

[dapper berry]

truth

[topaz field]

bruhh its insane how folks are man this why we cant have nice things.

anyone here on PS4?? need your input on the patch im still at work but im curious. So far i heard PC players are having a blast with the update 🙂

[desert elbow]

I heard they fixed a lot of animation glitches with the traversal sprint such as the two handed grip when running on slopes. I remember noticing that a lot

[dapper berry]

it's mostly because toxicity brings clicks and clout

[desert elbow]

Wtf really? Can you send me a link please?

[silk surge]

Remember that former dev who criticized Elden Ring's QX design, and he was relentlessly shit on as if he was the sole reason why 2042 launched the way it did?

[dapper berry]

just look at how many youtubers popped off of the 2042 negativity bandwagon

[arctic grove]

because it’s a bad game ☠️

[drifting lichen]

Not a bad update today, it seems that some reloads were changed a little bit

I see you had a lot of fun with the April Fools joke 😄 Jokes aside, some of you noticed that my role description changed a bit. In the upcoming weeks I will be slowly transitioning into a Tech Lead role that will be more cross-functional and not strictly UI. Wish me good luck!

*5 moths

math is not an opinion

[arctic grove]

another 5 months before we see anything* ☠️

[topaz field]

i had got block by EndersFPS that guy is a clown cant handle constructive criticism 🤣

[dapper berry]

yeah the internet is just echo chambers now

[pale dirge]

i cant find any videos that help me with my black screen issue anyone have any ideas?

[dapper berry]

you would've complained if they had released content saying they should fix the game first

[topaz field]

what black screen?

[arctic grove]

fr tho i hope 2042 gets to a state of content like bf4 and the player base of bfv today :)

[drifting lichen]

I don’t understand the super negativity regarding the game, it has a good amount of bugs and glitches yes, but that’s what usually happens with every battlefield launch.
BF4 had one of the worst launches in BF history and yet now it’s praised as one of the best games.

[pale dirge]

my i start my game

@darkosupe I wish it’s real tho. You guys can’t do shit about this game

Twitter · Apr 1, 2022, 12:58 PM

[arctic grove]

nope, not at all - i’m bored of the game cuz there’s nothing to do now

[pale dirge]

when i start my game

[topaz field]

damn i dunno man reinstall maybe?

[next onyx]

Ender is alright. He's toxic but most of the time he knows what he's talking about.

[runic prism]

That's true but a lot of people paid a lot for a game that wasn't finished so ye that’s a bit normal to be fair

[topaz field]

i bought a samsung ssd qvo 870 gonna test out 2042 on it for my ps4 slim hopefully i see some faster rendering as well

[dapper berry]

understandable, but i think this is the only right path for them; they have to show players that the gameplay gets fixed first before trying to make additional money off of the game

[viscid plaza]

hey guys, did you play bf2042 with the new patch? any visible positive changes?

[dapper berry]

i'm playing rn and it's good, this update was mostly polishing so there's nothing visible, but the feeling got really improved

[clear quail]

Smoother gameplay

[hard plume]

Whats everyones opinion about the patch?

[topaz field]

been playing since early access love it cant wait to go home and play 4.0 patch

[dry robin]

and what about the optimization?

[next onyx]

Lol.

Mouse input feels better.

[viscid plaza]

voip ?

[topaz field]

yup

[viscid plaza]

\o/ hurra

[topaz field]

i need ps4 slim users reviewss

[dapper berry]

i think the performance is still meh, but since mouse input isn't emulated anymore it feels more consistent

[clear quail]

More stable gameplay, no huge changes in fps, voip is fun but no one seems to use it in matches

[dapper berry]

i dreaded playing 128p breakthrough yesterday, and today it's been very responsive

[dry robin]

[viscid plaza]

same here 😄

[hard plume]

Have you heard anyone use it? Besides those on ps5 who forgot to turn theirs off…which i just realize i should do

[clear quail]

Its a good update so dw

[next onyx]

Map issues aren't fixed but holy fuck the bolte spam is so much less of a pain.

[clear quail]

Plus a lotta customization options in settings

[dapper berry]

i've been playing battlefield for 20 years now and the only use i've had for voip was to know when people in my squad alt+f4'd

[desert elbow]

Oh damn they updated HQ spawns, they are pretty close to caps now

[dapper berry]

i live in europe tho so that might be why, but so far i've only heard people hitting it by accident

[hard plume]

I thought they were moving the bolte to a different category

[next onyx]

They changed it to that yes.

I forgot even, There are less helicopters.

[hard plume]

Everyone made a huge deal about voip even tho i knew barely anyone would use it

[solar obsidian]

download and install bf in ea client,
it will ONLY install this update through origin, so i install it, close origin, and start ea client,
ea client goes on a loop bf tells there is a update, it starts, complete it, and tells there is a update still 🙂

reopen origin,

instantly starting game

[next onyx]

Despite the fact that not many people use voip, It's nice that it's there.

[dapper berry]

which says a lot about the vocal community

[desert elbow]

Including Transport helis?

[next onyx]

That's the whole point really.

There are transports.

[clear quail]

yes

[topaz field]

well i did remote play on my phone to install the update. but alot of pc players saying its good. im on twitch right now trying to find some PS4 console players streaming

[desert elbow]

That's a shame, it was fun with a lot of them around

[clear quail]

it was also a nightmare sometimes

u could feel the shift in dynamics a bit

[arctic grove]

i completely agree, i do think that they are getting there however i do wish they would actually communicate with us

[next onyx]

Oh yeah I forgot the nightbird was a transport heli, Well, We all know how much of a big fucking lie considering what people used it for.

[topaz field]

I heard the Super transport heli and condor got upgraded not good for me lol

[clear quail]

used it to transport people to heaven ofc

[hard plume]

The bolte is still under the light catergory for me, maybe its differ on comquest

[topaz field]

🤣

[dapper berry]

agreed, at least we have the specialist core feedback that's right around the corner

[upbeat sand]

So how does everyone feel about the update

[topaz field]

im excited for that i need angel nerfedddd to the grounddd! No more body armor pleaseeee

[shy latch]

if I remember well, on patch notes was written that the minimap is now resizable, isn't it?

[clear quail]

its a good update

[clear quail]

yes

[dapper berry]

very good step in the right direction

[upbeat sand]

Yeah the update got me back into the game with a 2 and a half hour grind

[chilly oak]

more stable gameplay? nice, they never wrote it in patch notes

[dapper berry]

that would be nice but we know how much dice loves their body armor...

[next onyx]

Fuck armour.

Only belongs in battle royales.

[shy latch]

oh thank you Dice, the previous minimap was too small for me on my 27" monitor

[upbeat sand]

Now we only need content that is promised in winter (Australian)

[next onyx]

Ohhh Aussie.

Yeah next patch with the map changes gives me hope.

But we have to wait to see what they do.

[topaz field]

5% armor is fine, i think 20% is too much

[still vault]

Fair enough, as you see Steam does the downloading itself. Origin just launches it.

[next onyx]

5%/20% that still screws up benchmarks Carrera.

[dapper berry]

where is it in the options ?

[clear quail]

the grind is worth it once season 1 rolls in

[next onyx]

Just buff armour to 50 points and only have it function as a flak damage / environmental armour.

[shy latch]

41 GB for the update??? 😳

[dapper berry]

oh nvm, it's "World Info Scale"

[upbeat sand]

If you click download on a steam owned game on origin It will auto direct you to steam download page

[clear quail]

ye

[next onyx]

Force explosions to have a soft cap so it doesn't touch the health but no modifications to gun fire.

Gun damage.

[chilly oak]

All stealth changes that community found out about:
Irish’s OG BF4 head model has Ben re-worked slightly and beard was added.

zip-lines we’re added between the ships objective points on manifest map

on first loading screen with exodus ship now appears that far behind the ship is some type of oil rig and snowy mountains.

in options on/off switch has been included across all categories.

graphical and stability improvements on both consoles and PC

mouse input has been improved

loadout equipping UI has been changed and improved.

OVP drone range has been nerfed to ~150m from 250m

controller input feels much better

[next onyx]

Mackays grappling hook feels a tad shorter.

[shy latch]

oh no wait, that's the local disc space, update is 10 GB

[chilly oak]

100 xp per minute on Solo/Co-Op Conquest & Breakthrough (was 150xp)

16v16 Solo/Co-Op Conquest (was 32v32)

[upbeat sand]

From the beginning it could of been fun but was held back by mainly bad balancing, annoying caracters, to many bugs, but I think mainly lack of communications

[still vault]

10GB download, the 41,8GB is total disk space for the installed game

[clear quail]

grappling hook dysfunction i suppose. Comes with age

[chilly oak]

so was this a fix the game update or the stable from now on, will s1 be like this if not more? i think this was a one of tbh

[shy latch]

yeah I noticed it afterward 😅

[upbeat sand]

Master chief has best grapple

[next onyx]

At least you can still launch yourself with the momentum generated from it to clear obstacles.

E.g the ships on discarded.

[clear quail]

strength has been retained then

[next onyx]

Also I found a weird glitch? They've modified something and you can stick to the edges of the metal in discarded.

[chilly oak]

when the 2042 subreddit is happy you know its good

[next onyx]

I wouldn't even call it a glitch.

More like an oversight?

Yeah they won't be happy for long.

[clear quail]

i suppose

[silk surge]

Oh shit, you're able to see scoreboard from deploy screen now. That's a nice addition.

[chilly umbra]

It's fine , all bf had funny bugs

[shy latch]

that's an ability similar to mountain goats

[next onyx]

My favourite glitch was the fucked up body models from all the games.

In hardline I got this freaky spaghetti man where his arms kept on twisting outside the car.

[rare basalt]

And there it goes, the not-launching-after-EAC problem returned again

[shy latch]

spaghetti man? 🤔

[silk surge]

My game just froze......

[next onyx]

It's the only way I could describe it.

[silk surge]

The game literally shut down my PS5 just now. Never seen that before.

[next onyx]

His arms kept on twisting to uncomfortable levels.

[quartz fog]

So are people happy with the update or still pissed

[next onyx]

Oh a hard crash?

[silk surge]

yeah

[topaz field]

👀

[next onyx]

Did you see duplicates of anything before the crash?

[silk surge]

Nah, the game froze and then my PS5 shut down.

[next onyx]

Straight crash, Got it.

[silk surge]

And the PS5 informed me that I didn't shut it down correctly last time when I booted it up again lo

[next onyx]

Yeah the last crash I got on my X, Everything duplicated and hard crashed my console.

Which I've been told is a case of recursive code.

[dapper berry]

based

[shy latch]

that's probably what 95% of playerbase did so far 😂 (and I'll do it as well once update)

[topaz field]

anyone found a good AC-42 build yet with the attachments 👀

[royal swan]

Is the game more decent after the update

[next onyx]

Try high powered Luu.

[royal swan]

That's sounds fucking amazing

[next onyx]

No loss in range.

[chilly oak]

yes the subreddit is actually positive

[royal swan]

Love some ear killing sounds from people

[river trench]

Is the game better

[topaz field]

well i high powered w/ long barrell w/ rattlesnake for 3.0 version. It packs a heavy punch

i wish there was a way to reset weapon attachments back to base mode

[shy latch]

oh yeah weapon attachments, now i have to revisit them all from the beginning 😰

[vocal parcel]

Anyone else having trouble launching a game just stuck in loading screen saying waiting for players to join

[topaz field]

its normal

[silk surge]

The game keeps telling me that I levelled up even though I didnt after every game.

[vocal parcel]

Only had it since the update today. Can't even get onto a game of portal

[silk surge]

You're ending up in empty lobbies waiting to be filled.

Try again until you get queued into another map.

[arctic grove]

Damm guess we waiting for the next battlefield then

[vocal parcel]

Lol it just keeps on putting me onto the hourglass map same squad members . Were all just waiting for 26 more players to join

[still vault]

Murica is not awake, EU is not home from work, I could imagine there not being that many servers

[next onyx]

OCE is alright, We have very few servers but whatever.

PP29 best assault rifle.

[silk surge]

Same thing happened when you used matchmaking option on other Battlefield games. The game prioritizes filling up servers if there are enough people online for it.

[rare basalt]

Do you guys know anything about reading the error log of the EAC launcher?

[merry sigil]

How is it? Patch downloading now

[next onyx]

Very good.

[hollow verge]

[merry sigil]

Reading the notes currently

[visual gazelle]

Assists can now trigger when a teammate kills an enemy and either of them were covered in smoke you deployed.
This is great, and is something I wish previous Battlefield games had.

[merry sigil]

Hope they added assist to soflam tags

Thankless job running soflam

[crisp junco]

Why is the patch 10 gigs
I thought it was just bug fixed and rebalances

[merry sigil]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-2042-update-notes-4-0 Lotta stuff

[tired wolf]

is the patch live??

[clear quail]

yes

[jovial kettle]

any1 having data persistence error ?

[solar nymph]

Anyone notice any patch notes that are untrue?

[dapper berry]

no, but there are undocumented changes

[solar nymph]

Like what?

[dapper berry]

firemode is now in the weapon icon, double tapping ping makes the old bf4 left hand movement

[eternal storm]

Ok this is cool, the attachments work different, you can have a suppressor that doesn’t reduce damage

[dapper berry]

better settings UI

[solar nymph]

Nice

[worldly agate]

wow was able to play two games in a row, havent been able to do that since .. well never. first time actually playin since feb 7

[topaz field]

will be nerfed in update 4.2 🤣

[next onyx]

They already nerfed it and it's still good.

[topaz field]

need s a tad more recoil man

[dapper berry]

it's an smg

[topaz field]

hey man im scared of that and k30 lol

[tired wolf]

I'm curious if the mouse movement feels better

[next onyx]

It is.

It is way better.

[dapper berry]

understandable, be inspired by the T-28 and overcome small obstacles like it did

[worldly agate]

so many bots tho

[eternal storm]

I’m playing 64 breakthrough and no bots

[compact sleet]

Bro I had tears in my eyes. So glad to finally see the t28 overcome its fears

So emotional

[dapper berry]

we can only praise DICE writers for this amazing character development

oh i just found an animation bug, going into traversal sprint from prone makes your left hand stick to the gun until you stop running

[eternal storm]

This is actually fun as shit now

Praise to weapons attachment change

[still vault]

When you do a lot of small things everywhere the patch gets big.

[eternal storm]

I bet you everyone is gonna run wrapped suppressor now it doesn’t reduce damage

[silk surge]

There are a lot of sound bugs with this update. Footstep sounds are more or less gone

Hopefully these small bugs will be hotfixed quickly. I'm just hoping that the bigger ones such as these won't be around for months to come.

[opal cedar]

you can barely hear foot steps bc of the gunshots

[full lantern]

Hey guys how this update feels?

[opal cedar]

way cleaner than before

it's quiet playable now

[dapper berry]

i'm just happy there isn't anything gamebreaking anymore

[full lantern]

How about with optimization n problem with respawning?

[bleak nebula]

no chase cam off option for jets , still can't play jets without getting nauseous

[grizzled whale]

i really hate how they took out mackay bhopping

[full lantern]

Is it true that classic classes has been returned?

[dapper berry]

false

[grizzled whale]

no

[runic prism]

What ?

[full lantern]

Well...shit

[opal cedar]

never will its a new battlefield

[runic prism]

Why?

[opal cedar]

new game new theme new concept

[grizzled whale]

they took out mackay bhopping

[opal cedar]

gunshots are loud

[merry sigil]

Some decently happy people in the Reddit. Then you have ones that’s just want bf to fail…has to suck to be such a miserable person and feel so entitled🤣🤣🤣

[dapper berry]

some dudes really need to touch grass

[full lantern]

How about sniper rifles? How is it feels?

[dapper berry]

sniper rifles were and still are satisfying to use, the 6x scope got cleaner too

[hard plume]

Happy people on reddit? That doesnt sound right

[full lantern]

I mean speed of bullets

N such.

[dapper berry]

doesn't feel like it changed, they were in a pretty good spot tbh

[ripe hedge]

awwww shiet you guys are talking about weapons and i missed it

[dapper berry]

nah you didn't, weapons feel gud now

the mouse input fix really helps with handling recoil too

[eternal storm]

I’ll be the first to shit on a bad product but@you guys did a good job, a little late but well done

[full lantern]

How about with netcode?

[dapper berry]

i had some hitreg issues here and there but that was mostly on breakthrough 128p

[chilly oak]

you naturally typed didnt and had to edit it

[eternal storm]

lol I can’t text on phone

[full lantern]

Then its old problem

[brittle atlas]

Hey there, how's Update 4? Just saw that it's available

[runic prism]

Bruh wtf . They are just making the game more boring with some updates lmao

[eternal storm]

Feels good

[merry sigil]

Going good actually. Good progress

[dapper berry]

idk if it has something to do with weapon design, but prone to traversal sprint makes the left hand grab the weapon in a weird way while sprinting

[brittle atlas]

Neat

[grizzled whale]

buff NTW

[full lantern]

Also...is it can change size of minimap?

[dapper berry]

you can but it's a bit wonky, it makes the squadnames zoom too
