battlefield-2042

[brittle atlas]

I haven't unlocked it and it is the only weapon I'm looking forward to, don't say that

[grizzled whale]

why would you look forward to it

[full lantern]

So its not like bf4 as i can understand

[grizzled whale]

its useless against vehicles, and you need to be within 200m to 1 shot kill a player

[dapper berry]

big boolet goes boom

[brittle atlas]

Because the original weapon that it's based on is super cool

[dapper berry]

nope, not yet

[grizzled whale]

its trash in the game though

[brittle atlas]

[grizzled whale]

its hella fun on hardcore though

[low timber]

So there is a setting to increase the size of the minimap? Tried to look for a setting like that but couldn’t find one.

[ripe hedge]

👀 will look into this, is there any small chance you have a video?

[brittle atlas]

Can you adjust HUD element opacity yet so I don't have objective markers blocking me from seeing enemies?

[chilly oak]

do u have to restart ur game when it says

[dapper berry]

"world info scale"

[low timber]

Need to check that out then.

[dapper berry]

i'm gonna record it now

[merry sigil]

Hey! Weapon guy! You mess with soflam too? They need assist on vehicle kill. Thankless job running soflam

[wise zodiac]

Jesus christ. Save some shit for the rest of us.

[eternal storm]

Anyone else not bother with 128 and only@play 64 player modes

[low timber]

Btw Alex, why is the swappable bipod toggle able?

[opal cedar]

if you play the game itself u will notice it

[crisp junco]

Yup
128 is too much of a shitshow

[merry sigil]

I exclusively play 128 breakthrough and think it should only be 64 max

[edgy oriole]

128 breakthrough only for me

[ripe hedge]

Im not but i work with that guy 😄 Will ping him

[compact sleet]

It would take years for Hollywood to create such an emotional gripping story but it took dice four months

[merry sigil]

Awesome thanks

[ripe hedge]

God damnit here i go nerfing again

[chilly oak]

i restarted it but it said restart again

[chilly oak]

nerf the mag, too high for an smg imo

[wise zodiac]

This is FUCKING hilarious to me.

Everyone bitched and bitched, moaned and complained that there's no fucking VoIP - and the first thing people do is turn it off.

[NOTE: I am not saying you, @soft dagger, wanted VoIP to begin with.]

[compact sleet]

Bro some kid really used three jets to kill me and he killed me by jet ramming me 💀

[chilly oak]

chill, they need excuses to hate the game

[merry sigil]

This was known to happen. Catch me in my Xbox party. Don’t want to hear randoms kids screech or parents yell at they kids🤣🤣🤣

[edgy oriole]

im not gonna turn it off, but my mute hand very strong.

[compact sleet]

Just mute people who are annoying?

[merry sigil]

I hear so many kids get punished over voip🤣🤣🤣

[edgy oriole]

if i have to mute too many people im turning that bad boy off tho

[wise zodiac]

I'm just fucking laughing my ass off.

[ripe hedge]

Is the correct magazine to have 🙂 The one loading parabellums has 50 something i believe.

[merry sigil]

Nah. Party chat>voip. And we have text as well

[wise zodiac]

I use Xbox parties too, but if I see a player in my squad with a mic, I tend to invite them to the party.

[merry sigil]

That’s the way

[wise zodiac]

#donttemptme

[low timber]

So youre one of those guys i never join random Parties and if they start to spam invites i block them.

[merry sigil]

I won’t spam, but will definitely toss a send. You can see we’re in same squad. Rest is up to you

[chilly oak]

theres a new starter mission with unique voice lines? and part of the city which was out of combat was in combat?

[undone bone]

Gets 'legacy feature', proceeds to not use it

[wise zodiac]

If I see you're playing with the squad and you're doing good (picking up team mates, dropping ammo), I'll definitely toss an invite.

[next onyx]

If you're gonna nerf it, Give the SCAR H with high powered rounds the same damage model!

[foggy tundra]

Hot take, VoIP is only good if you play 2142 bf2 or a bf game that has a commander role

[low timber]

Nice, flashback conquest is back, Arica Harbor here i come.

[foggy tundra]

[chilly oak]

now that the games fixed and sundance, the sundance grind will be fun

[wise zodiac]

If you don't answer, then I try again a few minutes later. If I don't get a response from the second attempt, I'll just remove you from the squad and hope someone else joins.

I like to have some communication from my squadmates.

[low timber]

Oh? I can see in the deployment screen what gadgets and weapons my squad has?

[eternal storm]

Has anyone tried voip for quality check

[desert elbow]

Surely Hazard Zone and Firestorm are exceptions tho

[chilly oak]

why have i got a message from in game chat in the loading screen

[wise zodiac]

Some people have said the earrape quality is good.

[undone bone]

I can confidently say in a decade of using an Xbox I've only joined a rando's party a handful of times

[shy latch]

[foggy tundra]

we have a word for this

[eternal storm]

It honestly feels fun now after playing it once in 3 months

[wise zodiac]

I've had Live since launch, so for me, that's how I make my friends.

[undone bone]

Oh yeah. I forget people like to make friends.

[foggy tundra]

[next onyx]

I don't like joining randoms parties.

[foggy tundra]

wait you have friends?

[full lantern]

Oh yeah..now is it possible leave n join squads?

[eternal storm]

Not that I can see sadly

[wise zodiac]

I mean, no.

[edgy oriole]

if youre talking about 2042 you were always able to leave and join squads.

[undone bone]

I make friends on discord. Since I almost never game with a headset/mic.

[eternal storm]

How?

[chilly oak]

the settings is bugged, i cant make specialist gadget the button on the side of mymouse

[undone bone]

Could you not just program the mouse button to the gadget key?

[chilly oak]

it wont work

[silk surge]

Go to the list of players and if you hover over your name there should be an option called "change squad"

[edgy oriole]

dont have the game up rn so i could be wrong but
escape > squad > leave squad.

[undone bone]

Like through your mouse's software?

[chilly oak]

no it just registers as mouse 5

[low timber]

Huh, so the minimap turning in vehicles is with the chassis? Got to be a bug.

[wise zodiac]

I find it's pretty easy to find like minded people to play Battlefield with.

Over 18, communicates, plays with squad/likes organization, wants to win.

[undone bone]

I'm saying try resetting the game binding then program, through your mouse's software, the button itself to whichever key bind gadgets are defaulted to.

Yeah idc much about winning in bf tbh. It's about having fun for me.

[wise zodiac]

#casualgamers

[eternal storm]

Yep. Or sometimes it’s fun with your squad swinging the game for breakthrough

[undone bone]

Battlefield is one of those rare games where for me winning isn't synonymous with having fun.

[full lantern]

Optimization is still sucks?

[compact sleet]

Is there a way to bind the look behind you input while on console?

[eternal storm]

It’s good for me but I’m on 64 player

[wise zodiac]

Breakthrough is beautiful. I love that game mode.

[eternal storm]

Have you played rising storm 2? The whole game is basically breakthrough the only let down is the graphics but it’s 5 years old. Amazing fun tho

[wise zodiac]

I just want to give my 110% to my teammates when I play. So I guess I'm a sweatlord. Lol

[chilly oak]

idk what u mean im dumb

[drowsy sapphire]

So how’s this new update

[wise zodiac]

Nah, I'm a console pleb... no PC yet (working on it though, got my GPU a week ago)

[undone bone]

I dunno how quite else to explain it. Try setting the bind through your mouse's settings. Not the game's settings.

[eternal storm]

I only got my pc in Nov, 100% worth it the only problem is so much to play and not@enough time lol

[chilly oak]

oh

[undone bone]

Majority seems to like the update.

[wise zodiac]

Shiiit, you ain't lyin.. 70+ hour work weeks ontop of wife and kid. I aint got time for shit anymore.

[undone bone]

Xero a good family man

[drowsy sapphire]

Does it actually change gameplay looks? Or is it fixed with grenades, voice chat, and bug fixes

[eternal storm]

Work nights, that way when you’re awake kids asleep lol (tactical parent here/bad parent)

[undone bone]

Update was bug fixes & QoL changes mainly. With some balancing

[wise zodiac]

My next PC purchase is the mobo/psu, cpu, ram, probably in that order too

[drowsy sapphire]

👍gotta try it out

Didn’t they change breakthrough objectives?

[undone bone]

As someone that is over a year into 10 hr night shifts. I go straight tf to sleep when my ass gets home no cap.

[drowsy sapphire]

And remove little bird from attacking/defending?

[wise zodiac]

Oh no, my wife wants me to work days so I can spend time with them on the weekends. I'm a Mon-Fri, 0700-whenever shifter. If I went overnight, I'd be working 12s on weekends and I don't wanna do that lmao

[undone bone]

I can't help you on that one, I only play Conquest.

[eternal storm]

Lol I feel ya, I’m nights and it sucks sometimes for fanily@stuff

[undone bone]

Might have gotten a 2nd job bouncing at the nightclub dt. From my drunken ass socializing with the security there last weekend

[drowsy sapphire]

Haha yea, Conquest is Boodyfulllll

[chilly oak]

is it just me or is the audio better

[drowsy sapphire]

Did they change anything for conquest vehicle amount wise?

[foggy halo]

EA's servers in action

[eternal storm]

Everything feels a bit more polished

[wise zodiac]

Yeah my wife would definitely kill me

[undone bone]

Not sure about vehicle rates but Bolte got a nerf

[drowsy sapphire]

Did it get even better? Cause I was in love with the mini gun sound after March update, I remember saying to myself in February, “I wish they could just add the sound of the mini gun from the game play trailer on that scene where a Jeep is chasing another Jeep” … well didn’t even have to ask and here it is

[drowsy sapphire]

[chilly oak]

lol

[edgy oriole]

there is audio changes in patch notes. so depending on what youre talking about its been changed

[drowsy sapphire]

What the f*ck they better not change the mini gun sound

[edgy oriole]

well look in patch notes "CTRL+F" and look for miniguns to see if there is changes 🙂

[steel ocean]

Hi all, after 6 month from release there are no k/d stats already?

[shy latch]

*5 months

[chilly oak]

i just used one, pretty sure its the same

[shy latch]

math isn't still an opinion

[drowsy sapphire]

I’m at school right now but I will look

[steel ocean]

From october to april for me are 6 months

[drowsy sapphire]

Better be

[shy latch]

it has been released on |November 19th

[chilly oak]

it launched in november

[drowsy sapphire]

The only changes they would even need to do is make audio of shaking and rattling from the chains smacking into each other with clarity that-that audio is good for that cause of sound

[steel ocean]

Yes sorry, on october they launched the "beta"

[chilly oak]

ngl idk how to

[cedar turtle]

We out here?

[arctic grove]

the AH-64GX Warchief experience is now refined

no more sudden lock on cues from Sundance

no more sudden lock ons from anything actually

[little dust]

why's the firemode icon not showing, as well as mackay's under crosshair thing for the grappling hook

[dapper berry]

it's in the weapon icon now

[eternal storm]

32 player conquest was infantry is the shit right now

[low timber]

Oh, opening the big map pings your location.

[little dust]

i can barely see that shit.. that's dumb

[dapper berry]

it's also indicated by your crosshair

and the old icon is there when ADS

[arctic grove]

.$

[full finch]

It's indicated by your crosshair currently, but I agree that it's not the best way of doing it. We are still working on improvements on this part.

[little dust]

where's mackay's grappling hook icon too?

[little zealot]

Hows the update fellas?

[chilly oak]

good other then u cant bind side mouse button

gun play feels so satisfying

[hexed mango]

from the 40 minutes i played at 2am; it was nice

[little zealot]

Is the end of round voice actor stuff still there?

[little dust]

bind it as secondary not primary, then clear the primary one if needed

[dapper berry]

yup

[hexed mango]

i did notice the custom bindings reset, but that’s not bad

[little zealot]

Lok.

[arctic grove]

How’s the voice chat feature?

[chilly oak]

auto equips to "Mouse 5"

ive heard no one use it

[soft swallow]

Everybody asked it, but now nobody use it

[hexed mango]

pretty decent, i personally like the mic on sounds but not a lot of people use it, i had 1 person talk to me

[full finch]

Not sure which icon you're referring to, but I'm also not a part of that team.

[hexed mango]

yeah lol

[chilly oak]

dev, can u sort out the side mouse button issue (cant bind it)

[little dust]

the icon that shows under the crosshair to show the grappling hook cd, it's missing q,p

[arctic grove]

Exactly everyone begged & nobody use it

[next onyx]

Henlo Colonel!

[hexed mango]

EOR Scoreboard is neat aswell

[next onyx]

Despite Voip being not a feature everyone uses, It's nice that it's there.

[whole lake]

How's everyone feeling about the update so far. I only got one game in

[soft swallow]

Battlefield community is strange, voip it's pretty usefull yeah but if you ask a thing you have to use it, i tried to talk whit somebody but it seems that people disable it... WHY?

[next onyx]

It's pretty standard.

[hexed mango]

it’s also those nice changes here and there that just make it all the better. plus performance

[next onyx]

It's pretty solid, Sparkle.

[wide violet]

how we liking the update bois

[chilly oak]

it auto equips to mouse 5 if i do anything with my mouse on it

[next onyx]

It doesn't fix the map issue but the vehicle spam is so much more manageable.

[whole lake]

I want to love this game. I hope they can manage to fix it one day lol

[sleek remnant]

is it me or menu & loading music is bugged?

[soft swallow]

For now i'm enjoing it, new gunplay it's very good

[arctic grove]

Anyone wanna squad up? Full squad?

[little dust]

personally back button as knife and forward button as gadget, it did have times when u try to rebind it and it messes up, i think there's a way you can reset your settings by deleting a file to fix it, otherwise i would just wait till it lets you lol

[willow sky]

happy to say that most issues are gone and the game has been very stable for me

[grave prism]

OH MY GOD THEY FINALLY MADE THE SETTINGS MENU UNDERSTANDABLE

[hexed mango]

anyways ima head to start my day, have fun playing

[wide violet]

there a way to fully change the color of the hud?

[chilly oak]

my whole bind reset and i cant equip my specialist gadget to button on the side of my mouse

[wide violet]

im personally not a fan of the Cyan

[foggy halo]

@EA nice servers :)

[full finch]

I don't have that version of the game on my PC currently so I can't tell. All I can say is that I did try it out on my version and the problem is not present. Sorry that I can't give you more info.

[full finch]

Hi! 🙂

[little dust]

😦 hopefully just a bug that gets fixed, i like having it in the centre of the screen like that, thanks tho

[untold kernel]

Does the game work now?

[silk surge]

Holy shit, look at the captures. I was top 9 in that category with 11 captures.... Gotta love sweaty PTFO teams

The top 1 capture guy didnt even get outstanding play

[little dust]

documents>bf2042>settings>and delete the stuff in there to wipe your settings and keybinds, that should fix the unable to keybind to mouse issue, tho it'll be a hassle to go thru tutorial again and do all the settings

[willow sky]

i think i heard theres some slight problems with the control and keybind settings and a redeploy bug in HZ

[chilly oak]

imma do it

[hollow verge]

the lasers on the guns are bugged

[celest sinew]

You know this new update has genuinely surpised me, it honestly rekindled a bit of enjoyment in my opinion,game feels smoother to play and sound design is so much better

[full finch]

😊

[frosty patio]

❤️

[celest sinew]

Honestly Devs did a great Job👍 can't wait for the future!

[low timber]

How have i not tried subsonic ammo before? Yesterday tried and damn it great.

On weapons where the mag size is still decent of course

[frosty patio]

Weapon attachments should be a lot better now after 4.0

[low timber]

Been using subsonic on the LCMG for two days now, its been great on it.

[wide shore]

Can anyone confirm suppressor changes?

[low timber]

Oh? Just loaded into Caspian Border, has the deployment screen map been rotated a tad?

[hollow verge]

[elfin acorn]

Congratulations, this update is very beautiful, but there are too many armed helicopters, the two best, and the range of tanks and anti-aircraft vehicles is insufficient

[eternal storm]

Text chat glitches, let’s you type a few sentences but then won’t send anymore

[full finch]

Could you send a video of this?

[eternal storm]

Sure next game, where do I post

[full finch]

If you can't upload it here, just ping me in this chat and I'll open a DM with you.

[wide shore]

Thanks for the info

[eternal storm]

Ok I’ll try and replicate it now

[upbeat sand]

I would like to see more jets being more used since it's just hele only meta rn

[elfin acorn]

The map shows that the offensive side and the defensive side are unbalanced. The defensive side has no dangerous terrain to guard or strong support. Every time, the defensive side fails and the offensive side wins.

[shy latch]

I didn't downloaded the update yet, but what I see from today that finally with update 4.0 people start to speak/text in a civil way and giving feedback (proper constructive feedback), even tho this isn't related directly to the game but at least I'm happy to see this kind of behaviour on this chat

[wise zodiac]

Why, hello there, @full finch.

[full finch]

Hi!

[undone bone]

I'm sure they appreciate it!

[silk surge]

tfw I had to leave the game immidiately because of irl stuff and I was the pilot in a transport chopper.... I hope the guys in there made it out alive

[undone bone]

[full finch]

We do!

[next onyx]

I shared it before but I got a pretty funny oversight. xp

[wide shore]

Anyone?

[silk surge]

Btw, what's with the abrupt change for Bolte? You said that it would be moved to tank category but it was nerfed instead.

[lament plank]

Hello hi. So in the notes, it doesn’t say anything about soflam designations kills (like lazing a helo that gets killed with M5) giving assists. Is that a thing that was glazed over or not implemented

[full finch]

Sorry can't answer that as I haven't been a part of those discussions.

[silk surge]

No worries.

[edgy oriole]

just checked. looks like the stats are different between them. i didnt really use them in game before so i wont know the difference. also im working so i cant test in game either.

[wide shore]

I’m just wondering if the damage reduction is as vast

[upbeat sand]

I think nerfing it would be better than setting it to armoured since it's fast and get people to a place quickly so transport is good for it, and putting it into armoured would be a waste of a tank or AA

[full finch]

I'm aware of issues regarding this. But sorry, can't give more info than that.

[lament plank]

Ah :/

[low timber]

Is there a way to reduce the deploy screen sensitivity? Harder to choose a flag/squad mate to spawn now, with a controller.

[wide shore]

Wait, the Bolte wasn’t moved!? NOOOOO

[edgy oriole]

for k30 the type 4 = 24 firepower and pb = 27 if that helps

[grizzled whale]

fake, people dont actually cap flags

[runic prism]

I have hdr ON on my ps5 but on bf2042 it says off in the settings. Can anyone reply?

[upbeat sand]

Remove top turret on bolte and boom good transport

Downside is you cant shoot anything but you get a armoured and fast

[next onyx]

Honestly it'd be fine if the bolte was in the armoured vehicle section and it were solo.

Plus taking double damage from the back.

To avoid abuse.

[upbeat sand]

Good idea

[grizzled whale]

make the ntw have 300% damage against bolte's

[daring glade]

wow. cant get to even 1 game.. all games "waiting for players to join"

[ripe hedge]

I think its 15% at the biggest in the PB Heavy Suppressor

[runic prism]

Can anyone explain what the difference is . Voicechat squad or party

[grizzled whale]

hey alex

[next onyx]

Oh yeah Symptic is gonna have to have a run down with all the attachments.

I'm really curious to see what the actual values are.

[ripe hedge]

[grizzled whale]

im kinda disappointed that a certain handheld weaponised vehicle wasnt in this update

[wide shore]

Hmmm. Doesn’t seem bad. I’ll have to give them a shot when I get up.

[next onyx]

(I'm glad the heavy suppressors actually show what they can do now)

[runic prism]

Hey i have a question i have hdr ON on my ps5 but on bf2042 it says off in the settings. @ripe hedge

[low timber]

Shame that there are only few guns with heavy and sub sonic for that special effect

[sharp dove]

omg this update is surprisingly impressive

[chilly oak]

please fix the no key bind mouse bug i beg

[grizzled whale]

i dont like what they did to my boy mackay

[next onyx]

The range decrease is tiny but it's still pain.

[grizzled whale]

yes

[sharp dove]

only thing now is the maps rework and a few bug fixes imo

[hard plume]

Yeah what happened? I thought it was moving?

[grizzled whale]

and the bhop

[languid cargo]

Well finally got some time on the game an let me say I’m super disappointed an upset tbh can’t believe one of my favorite franchises is going down the hole 🤦🏻‍♂️

[grizzled whale]

that was the best part about mackay, being able to bhop flank around people like sanic

[upbeat sand]

Give the vehicles a weak spot that does triple the damage

[worthy shadow]

Is anybody experiencing flickering?

[sharp dove]

can anyone say anything the update did wrong? I just wanna know what yall have picked up

[little dust]

ngl i don't like the littlebird's move to attack category.. too many things in a limited category so it's basically whoever has the fastest computer gets what they want, AA tank feels less useful with not as much air threat as there was before while still feeling weak against the whale/jets.. imo keeping littlebird in transport but allowing anyone to spawn on it would've been the better while maybe nerfing some things on it.. i don't think moving vehicles between categories really fixes anything.. if anything it's 'did u enjoy that?' 'well, too bad'

[chilly oak]

impossible to set mouse keybounds

[languid cargo]

My game feels mad clunky an stiff

[edgy oriole]

i could be wrong but i think a certain part of bolte has less health now. i could be wrong tho.

[upbeat sand]

Ahh

[grizzled whale]

just use your AA tank to hunt other vehicles, ez

[dapper berry]

i successfully bound my 2 buttons

[sharp dove]

jesus christ, thats still a problem?

[chilly oak]

im talking about the side buttons on your mouse, and yes its a problem

[sharp dove]

thank god I dont play pc that often

[chilly oak]

cant equip side button to specialist gadget

[grizzled whale]

logitech?

[sharp dove]

take notes people!

[upbeat sand]

Next game in 20 years from ea/dice battlefield 2043

[chilly oak]

no

[dapper berry]

i just did it

[grizzled whale]

get logitech

[chilly oak]

bruh

[dapper berry]

you gotta bind as secondary, not primary

[languid cargo]

@upbeat sand 😂😂

[edgy oriole]

since i have razer for every game i just assign buttons to mouse using their app. see if your mouse has an app bc ive never tried mapping mouse buttons in game.

[willow sky]

not sure if i remember but i heard its easier to kill passengers on the bolte now

[oak galleon]

It wasn't that hard before.... well....when I was the passenger anyway

I always got killed as a passenger lol

[willow sky]

man, i had to spray a minigun just to take them down, i'm probably just bad

[neon portal]

is worth reinstall?

[little dust]

could get easy collaterals before.. idk about now.. seems like they just improved the hitboxes on windows if anything, hopefully they didn't move the passenger

[oak galleon]

me too.... some people make it look so easy

[chilly oak]

yes

[neon portal]

really?

[lean basin]

Yes

[neon portal]

but like
reeeeaaaallly?

[willow sky]

if you wanna play the game attempting to avoid all the terrible bug problems, its worth playing now
otherwise there isn't any new content rn

[neon portal]

sadge

[willow sky]

yeah cause people usually just wanna reinstall if there's new stuff

[chilly oak]

there are new modes weekly, all attatchments got overhauled

[edgy oriole]

Yeah this update fixes the rest of the bugs we had at launch and new bugs/problems that came up. if content is what youre looking for you gonna have to wait til summer.

[little dust]

i like how we still can't remove emblems from playercard, or weapon attachments from + menu

[upbeat sand]

Playable-yes
Content- in 2 months
currently- worth to replay if you like the game but not for everyone

[chilly oak]

finishers are fixed

[eternal storm]

32 player conquest is great, just shows bigger player numbers doesn’t equal better

[neon portal]

I see

[upbeat sand]

And also melee animations are more smooth and less chunchy

[neon portal]

How about player numbers tho?
Can I actually start a match now

[upbeat sand]

As in just swinging it in the air

[manic stone]

did they break aircraft controls or is it just me? moving it with mouse and it gets stuttery and sometimes go back

[grizzled whale]

On steam, its at its highest peak since februari

[edgy oriole]

looking at your profile you are in asian market so prolly not. maybe in conquest but more than likely no

[upbeat sand]

Last time I checked 1800 players but if you play 128 conquest it should be fast as fuck depending on where you live

[neon portal]

Dang

[chilly oak]

who plays bf on steam

[grizzled whale]

And its gonna go up more since its 4pm in eu

[manic stone]

also happens on keyboard and even its stuttery

[little dust]

helis? they did change the physics of the littlebird, idk about the other aircraft

[upbeat sand]

Me bitc

[grizzled whale]

Some people, but its the only number we have

[neon portal]

Alright, I'll give this trainwreck another chance

[chilly oak]

what does weapon accuracy mean? bullet spread?

[chilly oak]

pfff

[hot bronze]

@chilly oak typically it is weapon spread over distance

[upbeat sand]

Is improved a lot with nerfs and buffs with existing shit but the maps are untouched so still B-D teir maps

[manic stone]

yeah. more on helis

[chilly oak]

so u shouldn't have it over long range

[grizzled whale]

Did anyone else feel like their sensitivity changed after the update?

[upbeat sand]

Haha steam overlay go brrr

[chilly oak]

me, i went back and changed it

[little dust]

they fixed it lol

[willow sky]

there was something about mouse acceleration being enabled for some people

[grizzled whale]

Also id love for the playercard to show the level of mastery for the equiped badges

[manic stone]

its a bit harder to aim with little bird. less snappy on mouse

[remote meteor]

How is the update 4.0?

[little dust]

it's like before the update, but less janky

[brittle atlas]

Okay this update is actually pretty cool

[silk jasper]

just the usual big fixes here and there that shouldve came out months ago 👍

[brittle atlas]

It is a great step in the right direction. Still lacking content and maps are shit, but the foundations are a lot better now

[silk jasper]

Yes 👍

[little dust]

waiting for 2 players, 30s until game starts, 5 ppl leave...

[brittle atlas]

And the Portal mode where it's 2042 soldiers on Portal maps is great for now, to get away from the crappy maps while still running new weapons

[limpid kindle]

Is it me or did they reduce the maneuverability of the jets? like they weren't sluggish enough

[still vault]

My server started almost immediately, server was around half filled when the match started and was filled up a minute or 2 into the match.

[silk jasper]

omg for a triple A game Holy...

[brittle atlas]

Make sure you have Crossplay enabled, had trouble finding games with it off

[desert fjord]

Does movement still feel clunky?

[limpid kindle]

yep

[silk surge]

It feels so much nicer to play heli now. They've added direction indicator to lock-on missiles, they've fixed the hitreg issues with the minigun, they've fixed missiles doing hoola hoops around nightbirds.

[silk jasper]

Am installing the update now 👍

[dapper berry]

it's still a bit clunky but improved

[still vault]

64 players were there at the start, seems on par with other games if you really want to make that rather pointless comparison

[brittle atlas]

Direction indicator for locks wasn't working for me at all with tanks. It kept saying forward and then got hit in the left side

[grizzled whale]

agreed, but cant really blame them when most of their people are sent to work on the next game

[silk surge]

And honestly, thank fuck that they added direction indicator. I was getting sick of being targeted by missiles and I didnt even know which direction to disengage.

[chilly oak]

i would go back just because of the keybind glitch

[brittle atlas]

The UI actually looks nice now. And the attachment descriptions are super helpful

[silk jasper]

What comparison?

[grizzled whale]

im just waiting for that snipers only TDM to be on portal again

[still vault]

@runic prism Lets chill with the toxic commentary.

[brittle atlas]

And the newly reworked attachments provide a lot of customization for specific playstyles. Only wish we had suppressors that work at any range on all guns

[subtle iron]

did bf2042 get a new update?

[chilly oak]

yes

[dapper berry]

the wrapped suppressor doesn't have damage drop-off anymore

[grizzled whale]

#direct-communication

[still vault]

Too slow 😄

[chilly oak]

fyi its called scout

[grizzled whale]

1v1 me

[brittle atlas]

I don't really care, it still marks me in close range which defeats the whole purpose of a suppressor for me

[grizzled whale]

if there were classes in 2042 it would be yeah

[still vault]

I'll just end up stabbing myself.

[grizzled whale]

ez win for me ill take it

[little dust]

why's the littlebird's fov messed

[chilly oak]

how many times have i died for the key bind mouse bug....

[willow sky]

this is also something i've always wanted

[dapper berry]

oh i misunderstood you

[still vault]

Lots of changes in this patch. If you have odd issues you might want to take a backup of your Battlefield 2042 settings folder and then reset your settings by deleting the folder to see if that changes things.

Many people tried many weird things to make 2042 better and now those tweaks might not work now and add weird behavior.

[subtle imp]

i think the heavy suppressor does that no?

[grizzled whale]

#bringbackmackayBhopping

[brittle atlas]

The suppressors on the M5A3 and the AK-24 only hide you from the minimap of enemies beyond like 10 meters or something

The AC-42 does have proper suppressors but I hate burstfire

[grizzled whale]

then put it on single shot

[languid cargo]

https://youtu.be/mEOQW0CoNxc damn cmon man this game is letting me down thought this was the update for this type of shit

[grizzled whale]

i aint clicking that

[burnt swan]

any updates to pc optimization with this patch?

[grizzled whale]

no

[burnt swan]

rip

[chilly oak]

gunplay is so satisfying now

[grizzled whale]

always was

[tight sonnet]

Is the recoil more natural

It felt weird before but I always appreciated the gunplay. Vanguard is also fun but felt not as good compared to bf

[little dust]

why is 3 jets allowed... can't do anything vs them...

[chilly oak]

idk it just feels so good to shoot and kill

[brittle atlas]

Yeah I've been trying that. It works but I'd still prefer full auto

[arctic grove]

I actually considered re downloading bf2042 on steam ngl

[tight sonnet]

FBI OPEN UP

[still vault]

Is that the attachment menu failing to show?

[grizzled whale]

sadge moment

[tight sonnet]

I'm joking lol

[chilly oak]

lol

[grizzled whale]

if you fire real fast its pretty much full auto

[chilly oak]

f

[brittle atlas]

I've used my fast click macro a few times

[tight sonnet]

Bruh they need to add a browser so we can select maps

[grizzled whale]

wow banned

[tight sonnet]

How many seasons do you all think the game is going to have

Like 4 ish is my guess

[subtle imp]

spaz frag rounds are back, still hilarious on HC servers

[arctic grove]

4

[bold meadow]

So is this game way way way more playable now

[dim blade]

Wow, actual resurgence in the player count cause of 4.0. hope at least some remain

[grave prism]

oh for fuck sake, all my bindings got reset

[arctic grove]

it was always playable, the problem is content

[chilly oak]

4

[brittle atlas]

They have to do 4 because they sold Gold and Ultimate editions with a promise of 4 seasons

[radiant prism]

Because everything is hilariously broken on HC servers

[eternal storm]

Sad like bfV. Make the game good then onto the next cash grab

[brittle atlas]

Let's get to the "make the game good" part first

[radiant prism]

People who pretend HC takes any skill are kidding themselves, and I say this as someone who has spent my fair share playing HC.

[subtle imp]

especially when they increase projectile speed and it makes you throw grenades into orbit... I use C4/C5 then, since now you can toss the bricks of explosives hundreds of meters

so much fucking fun lol

[little dust]

heli FOV fix when? q,p

[slate meadow]

just remember when the game gets stable thats when the hackers will return

[hexed mango]

wdym? my fov was fine when i was in helos

or do you mean fp zoom

[calm bison]

Anyone here play on Xbox One? How is it so far?

[little dust]

fov in helis is major f'd, reticle is at the bottom of the screen and super zoomed in..

[edgy oriole]

at the very least itll be 4, but if they stick with a new game every 2-3 years there is dead time after the end of year 1 though when the next game will release. so there could be more than 4 assuming they want to and nothing goes wrong.

[next onyx]

Ironically dude coming from COD to battlefield's hardcore, Cod's HC is actually pretty well done.

[deft storm]

What were the changes to Rao’s traits

[hexed mango]

the way he spots

[radiant prism]

Yeah, but that's because CoD has some semblence of a competitive nature to it. It's actually designed to work somewhat well with that sort of thing

[hexed mango]

when he takes damage —> spot person that shot

[deft storm]

oh boy

[hexed mango]

it’s quite op if you want to farm spots lol

[deft storm]

yeah I’m not surprised
hey it’ll definitely be easier to get that tier 1 outfit now

[hexed mango]

they may have altered his T1 requirements but idk what was changed so it’s possible no change was made, i didn’t check

[radiant prism]

Too bad I literally got Rao T1 last night

[arctic grove]

got Bolte T1 last night

[arctic magnet]

the game feels better, but they have it very difficult to recover players, they will have to put at least 3 days free for people to try it and see whether to buy it or not

[edgy oriole]

i didnt think about that. i already got rao t1 with soflam last month all i had to do was wait.

[edgy oriole]

i wouldnt doubt theyd do that in the next week or 2 to make sure there isnt anything new gamebreaking bugs. one of the last times they did that they released a hotfix to "fix servers" before they went on holiday

[low timber]

Ah, first invisible enemy.

[brittle forge]

Did a bunch of new stuff get broken or nah?

[chilly oak]

only keybind mouse side button

[brittle forge]

Or is it too early to tell

[edgy oriole]

we will prolly find out today/tomorrow since it just dropped

[low timber]

Minimap while in vehicles is broken, it wont turn unless you or the driver turns the whole chassis.

[brittle forge]

oh jesus lmao

[next onyx]

Killfeed is broken still too.

[still vault]

People seem to be having more fun. That should be the most important. I'm sure there will be some bugs, that's how software works after all.

[balmy veldt]

lol that meme

[chilly oak]

its small but i love the new pick up ui

[tiny imp]

So how was the latest update? Working well?

[brittle forge]

I know how code works, I’m a software engineer. I was just wondering if this was on the better end of a DICE patch or introduced as many problems as it fixed

[low timber]

Yup, its nice to see what weapon/gadgets your other squadmates have

[balmy veldt]

From what I’m seeing on Twitter people seem to be liking it

[brittle forge]

If it seems to be on the better end, then great

[runic prism]

Man the update changed so much omgg this game feels x100 better now . Maybe only one thing thay I’ve noticed is . My level glitches sometimes after the match

[brittle forge]

I’ll check it out myself this afternoon probably

[chilly oak]

animations when u die and revive are actually way better

[jolly sleet]

I've seen so many people say that but like what specifically feels better, the movement? etc??

[eternal storm]

@full finch I have that chat glitch recorded

[warped pulsar]

This update game me a ton of fps. It's crazy to play 128 explosions everywhere and still maintain 100+fps on ultra

[chilly oak]

gunplay, performance

[jolly sleet]

yay

[runic prism]

Everything. Game feels smooth and more realistic idk why

[brittle forge]

the performance is better?

[chilly oak]

yes

[eternal storm]

Definitely

[brittle forge]

Does nvidia have a new driver as well or just this patch helped that out

[fierce gull]

anyone noticed that Mackay's visor is no longer transparent?

[warped pulsar]

The animations got slightly improved I think, they aren't glitchy or broken. Everything flows

[chilly oak]

pog

[little dust]

john mackay, doom marine

[quiet shell]

The voice lines continue to be the most annoying part of the game.

[runic prism]

Nah lol

[hexed mango]

i find it fun that they are so weird

[fervent grotto]

I feel like the animations are too stiff in 2042. Like compared to BFV where the animations are so fluid and smooth

[hexed mango]

insert mars sounds

[cobalt flower]

im so excited about sundance's grenades

[worthy shadow]

The bit after playing 2-3 rounds is that everybody wanted VOIP but none communicate as if though they just wanted the feature but never intended to use it lol

[arctic grove]

Did they remove voice lines after match?

[hexed mango]

oh really they fixed it????!!!! nice!

yeah the showcase for it before 3.3 showed a dark visor, but the skin was transparent

[lyric snow]

when update 4.0

[eternal storm]

True lol, ill@use it tho with friends on ps5 I’m on pc

[hexed mango]

no lol why

[chilly oak]

the portal loading screen has kinda changed, nice

[hexed mango]

already out, read #game-news

[brittle forge]

I doubt people know it’s off by default

[lament ivy]

This game sucks so hard....

[brittle forge]

You have to manually turn it on

[lament ivy]

unbelievable...

[worthy shadow]

Some are are muted and they don't know if they're muted or not

[hexed mango]

it’s not off by default though.

[runic prism]

What is the difference between party and squad voicechat

[worthy shadow]

Yeah

[hexed mango]

it’s on PTT, but that is different from off

off would be the OFF setting lol

[grizzled whale]

god i love admin abuse on portal

[silk jasper]

those who wanted VOIP are long gone by now anyways

[fair sparrow]

Some feel too fast, others feel too slow

[grizzled whale]

why do BF3 spawn beacond blow up when a squadmate spawns on it?

[brittle forge]

I have heard from others that they had to manually turn it on in settings from “off” idk

[grizzled whale]

this dude constantly spawns on my becon and gets killed, so i cant respawn there

[hexed mango]

oh weird.. mine was auto on PTT when i updated

[arctic grove]

Dang alr so I still need to mute the game after every match

[grizzled whale]

so i teamkill him, then his friend starts teamkilling me, and i get kicked by that friend for teamkilling

[worthy shadow]

MIne was by default PTT

[hexed mango]

you can easily set a setting in settings to make the incoming voip 0 volume

[chilly oak]

actually seeing smooth animation finishers around the map is so sick, looks like im in a trailer

[silk jasper]

why is origin's play button so broken i cant literally get into the game

[brittle forge]

cause origin is dogshit and only works when it wants to

[radiant prism]

I've had limited problems with origin tbh

[brittle forge]

I haven’t had nightmare scenarios with Origin but it’s such an iffy piece of software

[next onyx]

Maybe it's just me but Mackays special skin is a bit glowier???

[silk jasper]

bruh the copyright @ ea dice is still 2021 lmao on the loading screen

[next onyx]

The visor blocking the face adds a lot of intimidation.

[chilly oak]

thats it the game is trash

[vivid timber]

is the matchmaking broken or is something wrong with my connection? I can't find any games through matchmaking

[brittle forge]

I wouldn’t care about it but it is funny that they updated BFV and not 2042 with that

[vivid timber]

I either get stuck for "waiting players to join" or get placed on a server on my own

[swift patio]

ea is bad

[radiant prism]

Send picture, I wanna see this

[fervent grotto]

What a hot take

[brittle atlas]

Mackay's new skin is actually what he should look like

[radiant prism]

Because the copyright is valid through november of this year IIRC

[silk jasper]

The UI is Good now

[next onyx]

I don't have any pictures since I weren't aware.

it was mentioned earlier so I'm not 100% sure.

[radiant prism]

dammit I need to see this

[next onyx]

Yeah it's one of those things you don't pay attention to.

[radiant prism]

But I do

You know I take my skins too seriously way

My foes I ain't rippin if I am not drippin

The skin in pre release wasn't tan either.

[radiant prism]

Long as you quote me on it ❤️

[next onyx]

Sounds dumb to complain over it but I kinda preferred pre release outfit.

[little dust]

great outdoors + night op hat is all you need

[quick egret]

Does anyone have good controller settings for dual sense, I just can’t get it right, very janky aim Bc of sens 😞?

With Update 4.0 we've already moved the Nightbird into the Attack category.

We haven't been able to adjust vehicle categories for the Bolte and MAV just yet, but we still intent to do that in a future Update.

Twitter · Apr 19, 2022, 3:04 PM

[hexed mango]

they don’t have to change the copyright lol… for example swbf2 has 2017

they would only have to change it if the publishing company changes

[hexed mango]

i sent this a few days ago

[radiant prism]

This is the first time I saw it sorry : (

[hexed mango]

lel

[radiant prism]

But the new update probably means there might be more stuff in the files to find

[hexed mango]

i love the mackay skin update

[hexed mango]

es posible

[edgy oriole]

less night birds

[hexed mango]

i was doing some data mining myself cause i like that stuff

may or may not have decoded a file of code into low level code

[glossy storm]

How's the update so far?

[radiant prism]

@naive trellis I see you lurking, you silly goose

[chilly oak]

i killed sundance and heard her scream, is this new

[edgy oriole]

[serene pawn]

Voip not enabled by default. WTF was Dice thinking?

[chilly oak]

bruh wth u thinking

[hexed mango]

don’t think s🥳

[worthy shadow]

Its on PTT by Default for me when I launched the update

[radiant prism]

[chilly oak]

if it was enabled on default, you would hear so many kids and stuff

[hexed mango]

bro does it really take that much effort to flip a switch

[serene pawn]

Most people won't

[hexed mango]

i mean on pc, mine was enabled by default (to PTT)

[serene pawn]

What's the point of only me speaking if they can't hear or speak either?

[clear quail]

killing Sundance or the scream?

[edgy oriole]

mine was also default

[worthy shadow]

Some people don't know VOIP is there

[chilly oak]

sundances scream in terror

[clear quail]

nah its old

[hexed mango]

bro it is literally so easy to turn on. they probably disabled it by default on console because people wouldn’t have PTT and it would be annoying. that’s what they were thinking.

[clear quail]

must have been ur first sundance kill then. gj

[chilly oak]

ive heard 2 screams, 1 scream in terror and 1 quick girly one lol

[serene pawn]

Stupid thinking

[chilly oak]

the quick one is the one i heard now

[hexed mango]

hey man watch it

[edgy oriole]

wants voip > gets voip > complains bc they have to turn voip on

[serene pawn]

It's better to have it opt-out than opt-in

[worthy shadow]

Haha BFV screams were the gem

[willow sky]

what
dude just turn it on

[radiant prism]

People gotta bitch about something

[worthy shadow]

Yeah it literally is just a switch on Audio

[serene pawn]

Most people won't even know it's an option. They will have it disabled and won't hear or speak with anyone

[ember vessel]

how am i supposed to update this game in ea launcher? I can not find anything to let me update

[worthy shadow]

I mean once you hear someone speak in-game you should assume it is there

[chilly oak]

it literally tells u in game as a big pop up

[edgy oriole]

doesnt it show up right when you start the game up after update? its their fault at that point

[serene pawn]

Maybe on PC, not on consoles

[worthy shadow]

It does

[hexed mango]

i disagree. as opt in, you make the effort to use it. rather than by default hearing 20 10 year olds screaming over open mic

[brittle forge]

Knowing this game I wouldn’t be surprised if that popup just didn’t happen half the time

[naive trellis]

"Update Game", above "Repair"

[serene pawn]

By being opt-in nobody will use it

[hexed mango]

that would be origin not the game tho

[ember vessel]

I do not see the Repair option in EA launcher

[frosty mural]

it literally shows up on the launch of the game lol

[hexed mango]

the ones who want to use it will.

[worthy shadow]

Its more fun when you coordinate with VOIP, it was fun in BF3/4/1/V why not in 2042?

[serene pawn]

It didn't for me on PS5

[hexed mango]

that’s not their argument

[brittle forge]

The pop-up to use the voip is in origin and not the game? That doesn’t make sense

[frosty mural]

maybe on consoles its on by default?

[drifting lichen]

hello everyone, how are you all enjoying the update

[worthy shadow]

my bad

[hexed mango]

oh i thought you were talking about updating the game in origin

[serene pawn]

If it was I wouldn't show up here complaining

[willow sky]

i wouldnt even be bothered if i can just ask someone about "how do i enable it?"

[merry sigil]

Need to be able to toggle grenade launcher type on the SFAR when have grenade launcher pulled up. Gun attachment menu completely locked when have launcher selected

[radiant prism]

“Most people won’t know it’s a thing!!!”

Me: opens game for the first time after updating

[frosty mural]

interesting...mine was off too

[worthy shadow]

Lol

[drifting lichen]

Hey, quick thing
VOIP is not turned on, on console by default. Turn it on in settings.

[hexed mango]

tbf when i launched at 2am i didn’t get that

[edgy oriole]

hey delete this. reddit boy wanna complain

[serene pawn]

This did not show up on consoles

[hexed mango]

yeah that’s what i said lol

[chilly oak]

im sure it did

[drifting lichen]

yes it did, for me it did on PS4

[frosty mural]

This must be a PC thing only..that's not right, they should push it out to all venues

[drifting lichen]

it’s on console too, I had it on PS4

[hollow verge]

[lofty nymph]

[serene pawn]

Ok boomer

[worthy shadow]

[brittle forge]

Opt-out is better than opt-in. After all, if you don’t want game chat in a multiplayer fps, “does it really take that much effort to flip a switch”

[merry sigil]

Popped on Xbox at opening

[hexed mango]

i think they had that push after the release, cause i didn’t get it after updating immediately after the release

[serene pawn]

EXACTLY!

[frosty mural]

Tom Henderson is a clown.

[lofty nymph]

I think this game is a bigger joke

[hexed mango]

yeah but would you rather have kids on console scream in your ear on open mic because they don’t know it’s on, or accidentally not get someone talking because they didn’t realize it’s on. if they simply ask “can you hear me” and don’t get a response, then they realize to opt in.

[frosty mural]

Thanks for your input, you can join the Apex discord channel or CoD Channel

[hexed mango]

oh really when

[chilly oak]

pfff he was hyping the game up saying things like it had huge customization and stuff but now he hates on it to jump on the hate train

[quiet shell]

Going over the patchnotes again. Why does it say "Reduced scope shake when firing on the DM7 and VCAR" Twice in the patchnotes

[frosty mural]

like I said, he's a clown

[hexed mango]

probably an accident, those notes were long, i could see them making a mistake

[merry sigil]

Just want to say. Game chat has been fucking hype. Some hate. Most hype and praise

[brittle forge]

i mean that’s what a mute button is for and again you can turn it off wholesale quite easily. If this voip doesn’t have individual mute for some reason then we’ve got other problems

[compact sleet]

Yeah same there was also a thing about the LATCV or whatever in the MAV section

[chilly oak]

it got reduced twice? lol

[hexed mango]

true but i’d rather not mute them if they eventually have something to say… i just don’t want it to be my fault for them being silenced, when they should have realized

[quiet shell]

I think DICE just forgot to have someone proof read the patch notes

[frosty mural]

I've been waiting for it since the launch of the game, how did they expect us to play HZ without VOIP lol

[old echo]

I just promoted from S054 to S053

[hexed mango]

although personally i want to mute all console players cause PTT is sort of nonexistent for console (cause it’s not easy to use)

[old echo]

What's wrong with the system

[willow sky]

Not sure about you guys but all i did was enable it and im good to go.
I mean...you can just turn it on.
Screw your preferences, im happy i can talk!

[brittle forge]

I have never had screaming kids (in BF anyway) but I mean just tell em they’re hot mic’ing if they are

[merry sigil]

Now let’s all get in my prayer circle and let’s pray they stop these damn snow skins

[chilly oak]

lol

[hexed mango]

that’s what i was saying lol

[mossy granite]

Mp9

[hexed mango]

it’s not hard to turn on, and i’d rather it be off by default to prevent misuse cause someone didn’t realize their potato mic was open

[worthy shadow]

Yeah

[willow sky]

fr

[brittle forge]

the one snow map is the worst one in the game too

[frosty mural]

Agree, now i can yell at the console players to revive me in HZ or use the redeploy we have.

[brittle forge]

Assuming there are people in hazard zone for you to yell at

Which is quite an assumption to make at this point

[frosty mural]

i get into games all the time

[worthy shadow]

The audio is now better imo

[merry sigil]

Audio has definitely improved

[drifting lichen]

is it me or did the m5 animation change a little when you’re in motion

[frosty mural]

played 6 back to back around 8-12AM EST with minute wait time - not as dead as reddit makes it sound

[ember vessel]

wow had to reinstall the game just to see the update option... wtf

[hexed mango]

idk i personally love how it looks. i think Hourglass is much worse looking and much worse to play on

[unborn cave]

how many ai were in i t

[fierce gull]

ye they tweaked some of the animations of the guns

[merry sigil]

123

[drifting lichen]

The only redeeming thing about hourglass is the two towers you can sit on

[brittle forge]

Break away is pretty sure but it plays like dog ass unless you’re a vehicle main so there’s that

[frosty mural]

There's always AI in it... but full 32 player matches

[drifting lichen]

flying off of them is pretty cool

[edgy oriole]

could be they are talking about asian being literally dead and oce getting there and just making that mean US and EU is included.

[unborn cave]

well 32 players isnt hard to find

[brittle forge]

Even in breakthrough breakaway is pretty annoying to play again unless you’re in a vehicle

[unborn cave]

i wonder if it will have 120 player full servers again

[brittle atlas]

Why is the Vector so shit until you get like 300 kills with it

[radiant prism]

I get full matches all the time

[frosty mural]

Same..not sure what people are saying

[drifting lichen]

did the SVK get buffed

[worthy shadow]

With Rao's hacking time reduced, idk, I was able to destroy vehicles with cheaper arsenal count

[drifting lichen]

istg it’s one shotting torsos

[unborn cave]

it has more players than bf4 rn which wasnt the case last week

on steam anyways

[chilly oak]

same

[brittle atlas]

20 round mag whyyyyy

Can't even make use of the 1200RPM because if I fire it all, maybe 2 shots hit

[unborn cave]

to force you to play the game more

[brittle forge]

I’m in the us, the two times I tried to get into HZ one took like 8 mins and the second one I quit after the time taken took 12. Obviously I haven’t tried to play it right now, but after that I assumed the game mode was dead, went “oh what a shame” and just went back to breakthrough

[chilly oak]

weird

[radiant prism]

Its all about ammo management

[drifting lichen]

I got 6 perfectly good hazard zone matches yesterday

[brittle forge]

both of these were in the evening around 8:00, I don’t think peak hours was the issue

[merry sigil]

I think I’ve done HZ twice. Funny thing is, is that the AI you’re against is 20x better than real players in a lobby🤣🤣🤣

[unborn cave]

they should drop a bf4 remaster next year

[merry sigil]

No remasters pleaseeeew

[grizzled whale]

no they shouldnt

[brittle forge]

No they shouldn’t that’s too short of timetable and even if it wasn’t they’d fuck it up somehow

[radiant prism]

Last thing this series needs is a remaster lmao

[worthy shadow]

Map remastering is what he meant I believe

[unborn cave]

literally all they have to do is update graphics

[merry sigil]

I can get behind that

[drifting lichen]

just add BF4 to portal

[brittle forge]

I don’t want a bad company 3 from this company anymore until they can release a game that isn’t broken as hell and doesn’t have weird deviations nobody asked for

[unborn cave]

update graphics and include all dlc drop it for like 30 dollars or include it for those who bought the expensive versions of 2042

buying the expensive version of this game is my biggest regret

[drifting lichen]

I bought my disc copy of 2042 for 15$ 😂

[frosty mural]

Depends where you are, the NA West servers are broken, only NA East works. And it also depends on the time, if you are playing during the day or early morning on EST it's pretty hard to find something

[grizzled whale]

why would you get a remaster cheaper when you bought this games deluxe edition

[worthy shadow]

I want them to add the guns from portal to normal BF 2042 but with the attachments, but I guess that's different from a technical stand point

[brittle forge]

I got this game for free, probably why I haven’t gotten as mad about it as others have

[unborn cave]

because they didnt deliver on this game. Its not even close to what they promised

[worthy shadow]

The modern ones though

[unborn cave]

im gonna try the new update and see if its finally worth playing

[grizzled whale]

its exactly what they promised

[brittle forge]

And why would you want another game if they did that to you? Do you think after several bad launches they’re just gonna turn around and become better

[grizzled whale]

you dont like it, but they havent made a single false promise

[unborn cave]

if they fucked up a remaster they might as well just burn down their studios

bethesda has done it like 5 times

[grizzled whale]

i mean, remasters arent always a good thing

[frosty mural]

They haven't actually promised anything, people just assumed with marketing it was going to be X and it was just Y

They said modern, it's modern. The showed off specialists and people assumed it was going to be in classes and they never said classes, they did say you can have any loadout you want.

So people got upset at what?

[brittle forge]

look I know this isn’t a lie per se, but this shit isn’t a live service title atm, and they definitely marketed that heavily

[grizzled whale]

just look at MW remastered, 34 players on steam

[unborn cave]

it came out like how many years ago?

[brittle forge]

2016

[jade merlin]

Hows the new update

[grizzled whale]

still, people wanted a modern warfare remaster, and it peaked at 6000 players

[unborn cave]

on steam yes what about console. most people played it on consoles at the time

[brittle forge]

Apparently it’s a general improvement, albeit there’s a couple of new problems but nothing major

[frosty mural]

Compared to other BF games, it's more live service than other BF titles..we didn't have to wait for broken items to be fixed, like dozers shield when the game launched..in other BF titles we would have waited 2-3 months for a patch/hotfix

[elder patrol]

Still hate how high power on ntw 50 does less damage to players

[jade merlin]

Tried the attachment revamp?

[little dust]

u can see what gun your squad is using on the wep select now..?

[drifting lichen]

it’s pretty good

[unborn cave]

"didnt have to wait" bro we waited like 4 months just for a scoreboard. Ive waited months for them to fix sundances grenade targeting.

[jade merlin]

What's Ur fav

[thorny oxide]

Theres no use arguing with these people

[drifting lichen]

angle grip 8r holo and ext barrel on m5

[thorny oxide]

They have their heads stuck so far up their ass they block out criticism of the game

[elder patrol]

Holy shit I found a match in like 3 seconds

[brittle forge]

The only other live service battlefield title we’ve ever had is battlefield five and as awful as that was (and it was) it gave us more content updates then this, about as many technical patches (though tbf, they did not have to fix as much) at the 6 month point

[unborn cave]

sundances grenade targeting has been busted since launch and they just now fixed it

[jade merlin]

You don't like the short barrel+close combat laser beam combo?

[drifting lichen]

eh

[chilly oak]

not launch, it got screwed in one of the updates

[jade merlin]

What do you run on your m5

[cobalt flower]

the grenades work

[thorny oxide]

The game is a joke

[drifting lichen]

those attachments that I just said

[brittle forge]

Sundances grenades have been locking on to things an entire map away since launch pretty much I don’t know if you were talking about some other problem with em though

[unborn cave]

yeah if this update doesnt feel any better its gonna crash back below bf4

[jade merlin]

Have you tried the short barrel tho

[wild stag]

I’m sure we waited over 6 months for the desync on 4 to be fixed, I got the £80 version of bf2042 and have had a lot of fun , now we got the fixes, more to come and I’m sure all the great maps from all bf titles will be on portal eventually. Quit moaning, just play something else if you don’t like it!

[drifting lichen]

yeah

[jade merlin]

Not a fan?

[drifting lichen]

it’s good but I like extra range

[brittle forge]

I have not personally tried this update myself at all (I’m at work) I’m just going off of what other people are saying at the moment

[jade merlin]

Fair

[drifting lichen]

I still have decent stability stats so I’m good with my set up

[jade merlin]

Fair

[drifting lichen]

I sometimes switch to the fusion sight and 9mm mags when I’m close quarters

[fierce gull]

holy shit they made it where your grapple can stick onto vehicles

[thorny oxide]

“Yeah you paid $70 for a broken piece of shit game but quit complaining!”

[jade merlin]

Yeah cool

[elder patrol]

Wait wait. I thought you had to be prone I. Order to zoom in with the ntw??

[fierce gull]

the gods have praised me now I can spider man on a helicopter

[frosty mural]

Imagine if they took time to fix things 1 by 1, there would be a patch every day...They'd rather do 1 big major patch for non-game breaking items such as sundance grenades

[jade merlin]

Takes more than a day for sure

[warped pulsar]

I'm pleased with the update

[unborn cave]

thats pretty broken if you ask me. A gadget not working sounds pretty bad. Imagine if rockets didnt work, actually i dont think that lock on worked for a while too

[worthy shadow]

I mean whatever they did with the update its a huge step up

[brittle forge]

Obviously it’s better late than never but I hope people don’t give dice too much credit for getting the game up to the standards it should’ve been at launch

[frosty mural]

Correct, not much to fix and had a bit more items in que for content

[chilly oak]

i remember a hotfix for swbf2 took a COUPLE months

[unborn cave]

now people are praising bfv because this ones even worse

[frosty mural]

Not tracking properly vs dozer shield blocking tank missles are different items in priority sense

[thorny oxide]

Imagine if they released the game in a playable state and not requiring 400+ fixes

[wild stag]

It’s that the case with every triple a😂

[radiant prism]

Yeah, like BF4, right?

[drifting lichen]

Blame EA, not DICE

[unborn cave]

i played bf4 on launch and it was way more playable than this

[radiant prism]

[brittle forge]

I blame DICE quite a bit honestly. Not for absolutely everything mind you but they are not blameless

[wild stag]

@radiant prism exactly! Everyone forgets how broke it was for at least 6 mo this now everyone says it’s the best one😂😂

[unborn cave]

they literally had a perfect battlefield formula and made it a hero shooter

[thorny oxide]

BF4 was 10x more playable than this mess

[brittle forge]

EA could’ve delayed the game more but the general direction was DICE’s idea

[chilly oak]

its not a hero shooter at all

[thorny oxide]

At least it had a scoreboard on launch 😀

[unborn cave]

its basically apex you face the same hero on each side with their own special little gadgets

[worthy shadow]

I mean memories do change with time

[brittle forge]

BF4 was broken as hell (more so than this) but at least it was a promising game mechanically and didn’t have exclusively vehicle maps

[thorny oxide]

Also ppl like bf4 better because the maps aren’t absolute dogshit

[wild stag]

The desync was unplayable! Getting into cover then shot, it was fucked for months

[chilly oak]

oh no they have names now its a hero shooter!!1!

[thorny oxide]

Every map in BF2042 favours vehicles

[drifting lichen]

They each have different abilities

[thorny oxide]

There is no room for actual ground fighting

[unborn cave]

it is a hero shooter lol, its the same formula as apex bruh

[chilly oak]

they have vehicle spaces, infantry spaces

[drifting lichen]

Wrong, completely wrong

[brittle forge]

He’s right. The only map in this game that doesn’t overwhelmingly favor vehicles is manifest and that’s it

[drifting lichen]

Kaleidoscope’s center is infantry goodness

[chilly oak]

the 2 buildings on the green half on renewal

[vale gale]

whats a chase camera?

[still vault]

Battlefield is vehicles, all is as it should be 🙂

[drifting lichen]

if you hate vehicles just use rocket launchers

[grizzled whale]

#removeinfantry

[thorny oxide]

It shouldn’t be all vehicles

[drifting lichen]

that’s cause it’s not…?

[unborn cave]

takes too many rockets tbh

[still vault]

Battlefield is vehicles, but not all vehicles I agree :p

[thorny oxide]

There are no spaces for infantry to fight without intervention from vehicles

[wild stag]

If you hate vehicles then bf probably ain’t for you 😂

[drifting lichen]

a recon takes 1 recoilless m5 rocket

[brittle forge]

I’m fine with vehicle maps, just give us more mixed and infantry maps instead of 100% vehicles

[grizzled whale]

new idea

switch the ratio of vehicles/infantry around

[drifting lichen]

a bird takes 1 lock on rocket
An osprey takes 3-4, same with the transport helicopter on the Russian side

[thorny oxide]

I don’t hate vehicles, but balance the maps to have equally as much space for infantry and vehicles

[still vault]

There are no spaces for vehicles to fight without intervention from infantry

[thorny oxide]

Which in bf2042 they are not

[grizzled whale]

everyone can spawn in any vehicle they want, but when they want to spawn as infantry they have to wait until an infantry spot becomes available

[unborn cave]

thats a transport vehicle, if i hit a heli with 2 unguided it should die

[wild stag]

They just put bolte and little bird in attack from transport so less attacking vehicles

[grizzled whale]

littlebird is in assault now

[brittle forge]

And the recons take 2 M5s to kill from full as well. At least 90% of the time they do

[wild stag]

Attack assault what’s the difference

[still vault]

Arguably, infantry only maps need completely different balancing. I would rather they do 1 thing and do it well, in this case maps with both vehicles and infantry.

[grizzled whale]

nothing

[silk surge]

Im never spawning a transport chopper with randoms again. I always get completely braindead main gunners.

[brittle forge]

I think the infantry side of things in these maps is sorely lacking outside of Manifest. Playing on breakthrough makes things tolerable because the field is narrowed but half the maps still managed to be completely unpleasant to play as an infantry player

If you’re gonna do one thing and do it well, fine, but you have to do it well first

[steep skiff]

Is the game fixed yet

[fierce gull]

the best thing about this update is how you can now spider man swing on vehicles with your grapple

[unborn cave]

time to try update 4

[grizzled whale]

@silk surge atleast you arent up against a braindead portal admin

[frosty mural]

Show me one game that has come out in the last 5 years where no fixes were needed

[steep skiff]

What

[frosty mural]

I've been wiating to do this so i can C4 choppers lol

[edgy oriole]

#game-news and find out for yourself. we cant tell you if what you want is fixed or not

[still vault]

what can go wrong
yes, the game is fixed

[unborn cave]

bruh

[grizzled whale]

I was sniping and had a beacon near me cuz it takes a while to get up there, and a squadmate spawns on it and instantly dies, so i got no beacon anymore.
I ask him several times not to spawn on the beacon but on me, keeps doing it, so i start team killing him.
Then his braindead friend(the admin) starts shooting me, so i teamkill him back, and then he kicks me for teamkilling -_-

[runic prism]

Call of duty modern warfare 2019 was in a perfect state in the beta and launch lol

[brittle forge]

Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated. Checkmate, liberal

[frosty mural]

call of duty releases games every year on the same engine with same guns, it's literally a copy and paste, so all they do is tweak it, so yes, they don't have issues on carbon copies

[frosty mural]

Peppa the Pig -

[hard plume]

I see voip is coming in handy

[grizzled whale]

mw2019 was perfection, so was warzone untill cold war was added

[runic prism]

U fool mw2019 was like the only good cod in years that people liked

[unborn cave]

when will suppressor stop decreasing range even when they use supersonic rounds

[shy latch]

wasn't there an option for general HUD transparency? 🤔

[brittle forge]

Pre-Cold War Warzone was great, I had never seen anything drop in quality so fast when that game was integrated

[runic prism]

Coldwar was a copy paste from mw19 and vanguard was a copy paste from ww2 lol

[frosty mural]

Vanguard dropped it harder LOL

[dapper river]

fool, most rounds are supersonic

[hard plume]

Did you check display options?

[eternal storm]

Haven’t heard a single person on voip

[unborn cave]

yes and suppressors increase bullet velocity which can actually increase range

[hard plume]

He meant ultra super sonic

[shy latch]

yeah but I can't find that option 😅

[dapper river]

must be broken, it's DICE's fault

[brittle forge]

superer sonic

[brittle atlas]

Why are vehicle unlocks still separated between sides

[hard plume]

Aww, im at work or i’d help you look

[shy latch]

oh ok, np

[grizzled whale]

lol not even close?
Cold war was on the Bo4 engine, and the movement, graphics and gunplay was completely different from mw2019
Vanguard IS on the m2019 engine, but the mechanits are still not the same as mw2019

[cobalt flower]

based, and i know ive asked you before, but is your profile pic Glottis from Grim Fandango?

[hard plume]

Omega ruby sonic

[brittle forge]

This game pretends it has factions for some reason

[dapper river]

yeah but from a gameplay standpoint it'd be fucked to get shot and be hardly able to hear or see where you're getting shot from then die unfairly.

[hexed mango]

I never knew how sexy the Maul sight was

[hard plume]

I think i heard someone on voip, i’m not sure tho

[grizzled whale]

"yeah we got a couple broken OP weapons, we will balance them after ADDING AN ENTIRE ARSENAL OF VASTLY SUPERIOR WEAPONS"

[still vault]

The answer is still yes 🙂

[hardy leaf]

is update live?

[brittle forge]

Fun fact suppressors are still really loud in real life they just won’t blow your ears out

[hexed mango]

i had a good convo with a guy at 1am on voip

[grizzled whale]

all ive heard from voip was some coughing and chip cronching, as expected

[unborn cave]

you can still hear the crack if you dont use subsonic. Add an ads penalty to it or something like mw2019 did

[frosty mural]

I agree, it should have just been mercenaries vs ex-pats Nothing like having casper on the russian team with Russian VO lol

[merry sigil]

So much this. And occasional shrieking

[gaunt urchin]

HUD icons isnt even an option in the settings...?????

[dapper river]

I know, they suppress, not silence. I assume their signature is harder to pick up from a distance, especially in combat.

[cobalt flower]

[runic prism]

Bro everybody was saying that coldwar was almost the same as mw19 lmao . Vanguard was just a failure in the franchise. Nobody wanted to go back in old guns . Only cod’s that lets the franchise live are the modern warfare’s

[hard plume]

The sounds of a gamer in their natural habitat, all it needs is a parent yelling in the background

[vale gale]

why did all my settings reset?

[grizzled whale]

literally nobody thought CW was the same as mw2019 bro

[unborn cave]

the crack is still gonna come from a certain direction. If you can find a range or someone who has a suppressor and shoot it

[grizzled whale]

i agree on the vanguard part though, nobody wanted that

[brittle forge]

Yeah I didn’t see that at all either

[runic prism]

I played mw19 24/7 and in my option it looks almost the same in gameplay but more boring and less realistic

[unborn cave]

spawned on a roof, lag off before i can even control

[grizzled whale]

the movement is a lot slower, less mechanics, guns are less realistic, cartoony graphics, fake sounding guns etc etc

[runic prism]

Jes

[glossy storm]

Nah, CW looks like a rather cheap attempt to replicate MW19's aesthetic...

[grizzled whale]

its the same as mw2019 as in it being a cod game, but everything else is different

[dapper river]

man, MW2019 overdid the crack, every gunfight I get jumpscared, fuckers need to mix their sound better. Want to turn up audio so you can hear footsteps? LOL get tinnitus loser. If I wanted that kind of "immersion" I'd go play arma or insurgency, and even then in those games I don't die of a heart attack because the crack sounds aren't 10x louder than the normal sounds. /rant

[grizzled whale]

im still convinced its a mobile game ported to pc and console

Vanguard did a better job, but they messed up with the mechanics, and setting

[runic prism]

Mw22 will be the good cod after 19

[grizzled whale]

cant play that anyway sadly

[runic prism]

Why

[grizzled whale]

back when season 3 of warzone started there was a banwave where a shitload of people got banned, and most of them were legit players

[brittle forge]

Vanguard had the brilliant idea of upping gunsmith to 10 attachments on weapons from World War II what could possibly go wrong with that

[dapper river]

yeah, you "totally" were "legit"

[elder patrol]

Which I find funny considering my name on warzone was fuck, but I didnt get touched

[grizzled whale]

i got banned too, and i made new accounts, but then they banned every account on certain throwaway emails, and i got hwid banned because of that

[dapper river]

Want to run google chrome in the background while playing Warzone? UHHH sorry loser! That could be hacks!!!

[dapper river]

So don't use a throwaway burner email on a shady site then ._.

[grizzled whale]

last week my cold war randomly got banned, even though i only played zombies and havent touched that game in months, and when i tried to play the vanguard beta i got insta perma banned after 2 games

[unborn cave]

you wanna talk about desync i just got shot ran like 50 yards, died and teleported back

[sturdy patrol]

💀

[grizzled whale]

well i bought an account because i didnt want to grind for damascus again

[solar moss]

i havent opened the gmae since december

[dapper river]

sounds like you're enjoying halo Infinite

[grizzled whale]

so most likely when i try to play mw2019, ill get insta permabanned by ricochet

[dapper river]

man grinding for camos in MW19 is so unfun, jfc

[brittle forge]

bro if you’re marked that hard I gotta wonder if you were actually doing something sus

[grizzled whale]

dude the launchers made me suicidal

[old echo]

I love this patch

[woeful python]

​I have not played 2042 yet but it seems like the only problem is the maps at this point cause everything else looks rly fun to me including 128 players

[dapper river]

Mounted kills are my worst enemy, I haven't even attempted the launchers

[unborn cave]

the new update makes the game better but it is by no means a good battlefield

[grizzled whale]

mounted wasnt that bad on shipment

[brittle forge]

I hope in the future titles they don’t drop 128 players and just design better maps

[unborn cave]

maybe next year itll be okay

[grizzled whale]

but the launchers dude, especially the javelin

by the time you could lock on to a uav you could already see several rockets going for i t

[tiny imp]

for me this patch should be in place from beginning. But yes, this is the right direction i have been waiting for

[unborn cave]

yeah pretty much

[runic prism]

128 players is the best thing in bf2042 . 64 players is so boring

[dapper river]

I hate shipment with a fury that knows no other map. Maybe Rust, I don't like that shit either. 6v6 on rust is never fun, without fail, every time

[grizzled whale]

and you had to get extremely lucky a load of times

[unborn cave]

the 64 player mode is boring, its feels insanely empty

[alpine dagger]

javelis is the worst weapon of the game

[woeful python]

same cause I think it looks great. playing bfv with 64 players feels empty at times I don't feel like i'm apart of a battle

[runic prism]

Yeah litteraly

[unborn cave]

when are we gonna get a javelin equivalent in 2042

[brittle forge]

This is a JOKR joke

[grizzled whale]

please dont mention that name

it still gives me nightmares

[brittle forge]

A clownly power

[elder patrol]

Now 2042 crashed within I'd say 10 minutes of game time

[unborn cave]

bloom still miserable

[eternal storm]

Game chat works great, now to mute everyone lol

[frigid bobcat]

@elder patrol question am I able to change servers now haven’t downloaded the update yet

[subtle imp]

been running perfect for me

[chilly oak]

ur probably trying to snipersomeone with an smg

[still vault]

First crash I've heard about so might be on your end, probably worth looking into at least

[elder patrol]

You mean like a server browser? If so than no
