battlefield-2042

[frigid bobcat]

😦

[unborn cave]

im using the first dmr. rapid fire and the bullet goes like 4 feet below the reticle

[elder patrol]

Most likely I gotta upgrade my console anyways

[frigid bobcat]

That’s bullshit

[cobalt flower]

MW2019 was so realistic that the Russians committed a US Warcrime

[elder patrol]

I will say this the I was enjoying the game, only thing that kinda annoyed me was the vehicles

[gaunt urchin]

can anyone help? The option can be found under DISPLAY > HUD ICONS. but the option isnt there, im on pc

[cobalt flower]

I'm really glad that Battlefield isn't propaganda

[fierce gull]

DirectX error still not fixed

[noble scaffold]

new update good, but should’ve been since launch

[cobalt flower]

Well, not anymore at least

[unborn cave]

at least fps improved

[brittle forge]

With current events is it really that far off now? lol

[grizzled whale]

can you post a video?

[cobalt flower]

well, the warcrime specifically was the highway of death, which, was a significant one. not just your everyday warcrime

[edgy oriole]

tempted to see what was said

[unborn cave]

yeah one second ill record

[grizzled whale]

something about player count

[fierce gull]

guess we heard nothing but a wind

[cobalt flower]

and calling people delusional

[noble scaffold]

hopefully next update just finally finishes off all the bugs and then adds some content

[cobalt flower]

cant imagine being that salty

[cobalt flower]

[arctic grove]

careful don't post reddit links, they're scary

[grizzled whale]

not scared of reddit, just the smell
And besides, thats a sus ass link

[edgy oriole]

these blocked messages are flying through

[cobalt flower]

dont play the game if you hate it, simple as that

[elder patrol]

Now that's a link that I trust lol

[grizzled whale]

its a sus link

[cobalt flower]

throwing around accusations for no reason

[elder patrol]

Spaghetti

[fierce gull]

[cyan trout]

No sauce

[edgy oriole]

report to mod mail. i got person blocked. mustve been for a reason.

[grizzled whale]

@edgy oriole i can see why you got that dude blocked

[elder patrol]

Woooaaah yankee

[hard plume]

I actually just checked, hit over 3k, so a nice little increased

[arctic grove]

Yes, report the Reddit image link to modmail lmao

https://old.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/u71ec3/the_battlefield_2042_update_40_experience/

[cobalt flower]

just salty they dont let you near elementary schools anymore @arctic grove

[fierce gull]

damn

[grizzled whale]

@cobalt flower no need to make it any more toxic

[arctic grove]

That's gotta be a monthly record right

[cyan trout]

[hard plume]

For this month, yeah

[fierce gull]

no comeback for that

[cobalt flower]

if you like sus af anime, and you like it enough to make it your pfp, you're fucking weird

[grizzled whale]

@cobalt flower just stop, you are just adding to the toxicity

[foggy halo]

GOLD EDITION

[gaunt urchin]

anyone else getting error every time trying to load into game?

[cobalt flower]

whats the error code

[subtle imp]

#general

[gaunt urchin]

3:900I

-652 etc a fawk ton of numbers

[arctic grove]

that's the average unique player count, not an error message

[brittle forge]

Not a discussion I can have here for obvious reasons, but I’m going to point out that the Highway of Death’s characterization is debated to this day, unlike stuff like My Lai and whatnot

[elder patrol]

Yos

[silk surge]

Could someone explain to me why your damage abruptly stops at exactly 12 health sometimes?

[foggy halo]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/140933721929940992/964946926413955092/artdecocursedcat.png

[elder patrol]

I dont wanna click that but also yos

[edgy oriole]

its always 12 health when you die too huh

[brittle forge]

probably a UI bug

That’s a problem in other shooters I’ve had where the remaining health was not actually reflected properly in the kill cam

[edgy oriole]

it especially hurts when you see a 1 when you die

[fierce gull]

I see they changed the downed animation

[brittle atlas]

Shooting a downed Paik still marks you

[cobalt flower]

they changed a lot of animations and ui elements

[unborn cave]

the game is better but its not as good as people are claiming rn

[fallen field]

hello

[unborn cave]

they probably get paid to say good about it tbh

[elder patrol]

Ngl that's kinda funny

[brittle atlas]

That's some conteo mentality

[brittle forge]

Now why would you go out and throw something out like that

[next onyx]

Lol.

[unborn cave]

levelcapgaming here

[fallen field]

new update games good or bad

[chilly oak]

lol

[brittle forge]

I get annoyed with the way some people here talk down to people who don’t like the game too but “paid actors bro” really?

[fallen field]

hello

[brittle forge]

sup

[unborn cave]

they probably get paid a bit to play the games and talk good about them

[brittle forge]

They fucking wish pal

[unborn cave]

i dont recall the last time i saw levelcap say any criticism against the game

[brittle forge]

He made an entire video responding to people accusing him of that that included him criticizing the game quite a bit

[edgy oriole]

the trolls kept calling some of us dice employees and we added it to our name. but we gott fired by admin 😦

[grizzled whale]

i dont recall the last time i saw levelcap say any criticism against the game

[elder patrol]

no fucking way they are paying them 😂

[brittle atlas]

this tbh

[edgy oriole]

i dont even know what levelcap is.

[chilly oak]

youtuber

[brittle forge]

Bf Youtuber

[unborn cave]

i just wanted bf4 again considering they said it was a "love letter" to older fans

[brittle forge]

He Liked 2042 more than most but he wasn’t an idiot who pretended the game was perfect

[unborn cave]

good marketing strat tho

[edgy oriole]

i think you should read what the love letter is. its been awhile since weve seen this.

[chilly oak]

portal is what they called the love letter

[unborn cave]

portal actually isnt that bad tbh. id like the game more if it had a specific hardcore mode

[brittle forge]

is that why Portal was so half-assed?

[unborn cave]

but the hardcore portal modes are actually quite fun

[unborn cave]

because they made it so the people themselves make the game instead of them basicallt

[dusky magnet]

is voip working? I havent heard any squadmates playing today

[chilly oak]

there was an official hardcore mode for a week

[grizzled whale]

unless you get an admin that teamkills you and kicks you when you kill him back

[chilly oak]

its working but no one uses it

[brittle atlas]

Portal is more fun because it doesn't have those dumb maps

[dusky magnet]

oh ok

[brittle forge]

If you’re on Console it’s off by default apparently so check your settings

[chilly oak]

el alamein?

[brittle atlas]

Yeah that one is dumb

But the rest are pretty good, even the more open ones

[cobalt flower]

i wish

[chilly oak]

battle of the bulge?

[unborn cave]

the battlefield experience

[slate meadow]

i just want them to come out and say they are going to relaunch live support for bf1

[brittle forge]

El Alamein and Battle of the Bulge definitely did not age well based on how they play

[brittle atlas]

I don't mind bulge, it has some open and some "urban" areas

[neon portal]

"Unable to load persistence data"
I AM GETTING FLASHBACKS

[unborn cave]

lmao i remember that too

[chilly oak]

neither did the 1942 classes....rocket launcher for a main weapon?!

[brittle forge]

“Like that’s ever gonna happen” - Shrek

[dapper river]

That highway of death environment was, to put it morbidly, "inspired" by the real life imagery, but the two are separate events ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Besides aren't barkov's people russian mercs/a rogue sect of the russian armed forces? so like, you're not fighting actual russians technically? :^)

[slate meadow]

somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me i aint the sharpest tool in the shed

[cyan trout]

[unborn cave]

lets see what takes longer, me growing a gandalf beard or this game being in a good state

[hard plume]

Why, You think 2042 is a dead game?

[brittle forge]

Apparently according to infinity Ward General Barkov was supposed to be some Colonel Kurtz-like guy who lost the plot but it wasn’t communicated very well

[unborn cave]

last week it had less players than bf4 which came out like 9 years ago

[slate meadow]

i wouldnt know as i donmt own it but i do play bf1 alot and man is it a good game its just ruined by hackers that no longer get banned even though ea still actually sell the game 🤔

[hard plume]

Fair, im glad you still enjoy it

[hard plume]

Not this week it isnt

[slate meadow]

its actually so active aswell i never struggle to find full games on there

[neon portal]

Unable to load persistence data, this isn't even funny

[brittle forge]

Ah the Titanfall conundrum

[unborn cave]

yeah cause everyones been testing the update. for the past couple weeks bf4 has had more players

[slate meadow]

titanfall was took down by a insider for sure somebody who had something against respawn or ea

[brittle forge]

It is more than a little optimistic to expect any increases from this update to last more than a week.

[brittle forge]

I mean the first one was just hacked to shit and they delisted it from stores once people criticized them for still selling the game when it was literally unplayable

[arctic grove]

Is music gone for anyone else?

[brittle forge]

Titanfall two was screwed over by the insider but that game is still active at least

[slate meadow]

thing is the update is only fixing bugs its not adding more maps and content bf and halo infinite are going through the same issue fixing issues wont save the game people want no content and you cant blame them considering how bare bones both games are for 6months in

[slate meadow]

its the same hacker though isnt it?

[scenic tartan]

I really hope that this is a bug..the nightbird HUD is so low that the kill notifications cover your aim

[arctic grove]

What does weapon accuracy mean?

[brittle forge]

There’s more than one hacker on both of the games, The insider guy was more of a problem on titanfall two but he was dealt with

[arctic grove]

There's weapon accuracy and recoil control

[brittle forge]

spread, presumably

[arctic grove]

Like bloom?

[edgy oriole]

make a clip. there was some EA guy earlier that collected clip/s from someone earlier forgot his name tho.

[compact sleet]

Basically

[brittle forge]

Recoil is recoil

[slate meadow]

the one spamming bots into all servers so no games could load?

[brittle forge]

yes

[subtle imp]

spaz frag rounds on hardcore ❤️

[brittle forge]

I think so yeah

It was one group not one person but yes

[slate meadow]

i loved tf2

but again like bf1 and bfv its just another ea game they dropped support of and now its over run with hackers

i mean in bf1 and bfv you cant even report people for hacking

[grizzled whale]

i tried titanfall 2 again a while back, first 4 games i got killed by an aimbotter as soon as i joined.
Played trough the campaign instead and uninstallewd

[brittle forge]

Titanfall 2 is ok if you use the communities custom client, but I think the official servers are not too bad as of recently

But that changes like every month

[chilly oak]

whether the hackers are feeling like they have a life to live

[unborn cave]

bro i hope they make a new mw2019 i loved that game

[slate meadow]

i can see why console players want nothing to do with crossplay i mean im tempted to drop playing pc and go to xbox and trun crossplay off as then i can still use kb&m but not have to deal with loser cheaters

[unborn cave]

how many people actually cheat in that game

[karmic cobalt]

I’ll gladly take crossplay if it means I can use keyboard and mouse tbh, but even still that’s not happening apparently….

[arctic grove]

Console people complaining about cheaters are overexaggerating the problem heavily. It doesn't occur at anywhere near the percentage they claim it does. It's just a convenient scapegoat for poor play.

[brittle forge]

Unfortunately Console has its own losers rising using modded controllers as they become more accessible

[brittle forge]

I mean in the older battlefield games cheaters are legitimately everywhere I see at least one every play session I do on the all the older titles

[slate meadow]

i played bf1 and bfv today the first 6 matches on bf1 there was hackers in and 3 out of the 10 i played on bfv had hackers in

[steep jewel]

Introducing crossplay = cheaters and mods. Even worse if it's a free to play title

[brittle forge]

I guess I shouldn’t say everywhere but you know they’re there

[steep jewel]

Neither of those games are cross play

[brittle forge]

Battlefield three and four at least have server Admins that (usually) ban hackers when they see them

[steep jewel]

That's the way to do it, have rentable or openable servers that are internally moderated. Does a better job than most anticheat

[slate meadow]

no but what happens to bf2042 when ea stops caring about it,it only has low ll of cheaters now due to them pulling cheats from the game because of how badly optimized it was

[ripe hedge]

Means dispersion, spread, bloom, it has like 9 names online. How much a bullet naturally deviates from its target due to the properties of the barrel, ammunition or environment. In game its basically a cone that begins on the barrel exit point

[lost spoke]

Come play BF1, we have: KD 105-0, flying man with a gewehr

[steep jewel]

Nobody "pulled cheats from the game" that doesn't even make sense.

[slate meadow]

also look at vanguard the no.2 ranked player in the world has just been caught hacking i mean if its happening at cod pro league levels can you imagin e how many low level players are doing it

[eternal storm]

Game is 100% better than it was at launch. It should have launched like this and would have beeen wayyyy better for bf reputation

[chilly oak]

thanks, so many people have said random stuff but now i have a confirmation, if its not too hard maybe mention bloom and spread in the next patch for the description of the attachment

[hexed mango]

i’ve honestly never seen someone that is 100% cheating, some people sus but not confirmable if cheating

[slate meadow]

https://www.gamesradar.com/uk/battlefield-2042-cheat-maker-is-taking-their-hacks-offline/

tom henderson even posted about it

[brittle forge]

I think he’s trying to say cheatmakers stopped making cheats from the game because it was apparently too broken

[eternal storm]

Tom Henderson is just some social media dude- he is an authority in absolutely nothing

[unborn cave]

i havent come across a lot of cheaters in any of the games

[subtle imp]

you're whing about a hypothetical

[ripe hedge]

It's something on my wishlist for improvements 🙂 not so easy as it's a word that will need to be localized to many languages and there is work figuring out how to name it properly.

[chilly oak]

tom has made so many exaggerated claims to hype this game up

[steep jewel]

I thought you meant EA pulled cheats from the game, but yeah idk. Crit fail if you released a game its not even fun to cheat at

[chilly oak]

👍

[subtle imp]

he's done the exact opposite

[scenic tartan]

Tom Henderson spreads so much disinformation.

That company stopped supporting 2042 because they are a subscription service and they never got 2042 hacks working right and there was low demand for them. Plus Easy anti cheat requires continual development for cheats to work. That site Tom referenced is like a $100/month service.

[chilly oak]

back when the trailers were releasing

[steep jewel]

Awe shit here it comes

[fiery shoal]

tom basically panders to the masses

[sage ingot]

An online person spreading lies and misinformation just to gain more views by jumping on hte bandwagon of the current topic? Wow, I never heard of that, never ever, really

[cyan trout]

Gotta get those clicks

[scenic tartan]

[brittle forge]

Hate on Henderson all you want but isn’t that article specifically more or less accurate to what happened

[subtle imp]

ikr? people lack critical thinking en masse these days

[austere furnace]

This patch is great and I believe 2042 will get back a lot of players in the next few months

[sage ingot]

When you make an article about anything it should be completely accurate, just saying

[chilly oak]

but he tweets different, stuff like "dices plan to remove hackers is so good! even hackers hate this game" stuff like that

[steep jewel]

Did the patch release?

[austere furnace]

Yes

[pearl zenith]

Yes it released yesterday

[slate meadow]

yeah there is a screengrab of what the hack devs said in there discord chat which all but confirms it was down to poor game optimization and lack of players

[austere furnace]

It's 6gb more or less

[brittle forge]

Again, isn’t that what his article about it actually said?

[subtle imp]

what is, and what should be, rarely are the same thing online, welcome to the internet. and we know you're "just saying"... thats how chat works 😉

[austere furnace]

To me it feels a different game. Way less input lag, I need to get habit again to this new sens

[sage ingot]

Nah, you dont understand, bf2042 will be only appreciated as a masterpiece when the new game releases, is how it goes around here

[austere furnace]

That's true LUL

[arctic grove]

Bruh where is menu music 😭

[austere furnace]

They added a radio voice in the menu

[steep jewel]

Idk, the patch feels like a very small win being suffocated by the rest of the shit that's gone on related to the release. I think the most one could reasonable hope for is 10,000 players coming back or having a passing interest in the changes max.

[slate meadow]

companies should just enforce hardware id bans

[sage ingot]

Even the horrible mess known as Hardline has had a comeback, even when people massacrated it on launch, for "trying new concepts and trying to innovate"

[subtle imp]

you can spoof hardware ID's

[brittle forge]

Seeing this chat hive mind whenever Tom’s name happens to be brought up is just so funny. The dude is far from beyond criticism but whenever people bring up some article of his all of the same names jump on the poor user like they committed heresy or some shit

[edgy oriole]

i turned music to 5 day 1 so i never notice is music there or not.

[slate meadow]

alot of these muggin cheaters dont though they just download from chrome xD

[drifting lichen]

sup

[austere furnace]

It got 3000 players on steam and 3700 viewers on twitch. Pretty sure these numbers will raise more and more.. Just one patch at a time

[craggy cliff]

lol

[arctic grove]

Idk how i feel about camera shake when jumping and sliding

[sage ingot]

Nothing surpasses the reddit hivemind when someone actually says they like the game

[slate meadow]

woow bf2042 is back upto 3.5k on steam thats a good sign i guess

[dim hatch]

gamers really are a "it was better before" bunch.

Nostalgia is powerful.

[fiery shoal]

some people treat tom like some all knowing being thats never wrong

[arctic grove]

Btw, mag values are still incorrect. On ak at least

[brittle forge]

Comparing discord to reddit is a futile exercise, both have a stupid superiority complex over the other that isn’t justified

[sage ingot]

Well, yes, is exactly how it works every single time on every single release

[sage ingot]

You don't need to have a superiority comples to be superior than reddit, you just have not to be lame

[steep jewel]

Exactly, and this was the patch that was supposed to revive the game. Im sure more people will come see what's going on in the summer but if there continues to be this much internal conflicts, most of the good that will come from these patches will still be shadowed by all of the stuff that's already gone on.

[chilly oak]

i wonder how much s1 will jump the player base, or if people will go "tOo LitTle toO lAte"

[brittle forge]

probably the latter, the first impression is the strongest one

Put out finished games and it won’t be a problem

[chilly oak]

also there should be new stuff for temporyal to data mine, since new patch

[sage ingot]

Sounds like you never played a battlefield game before

[subtle imp]

everyone forgets every BF release has major issues that take a number of patches to sort out

[steep jewel]

I'm thinking 5000 - 10,000 players will mark the "resurrection" then in about a year or so it'll be back to bf4 and 1

Maybe even months

[grizzled whale]

i had so much hope

[edgy oriole]

ye dont blame the reaction when the game first came out. but i tell people compared to release this game is 10000% better.

[sage ingot]

Everyone forgets that the current battlefield is always a "disgrace" and "they killed the series"

[grizzled whale]

but its already going down again

[austere furnace]

A senior dice Dev confirmed that the specialist system will be reworked. It's fine for me, but I hope the specialists will become like in cod.. Just skins.

[fiery shoal]

if this were true bf4 would 100% never be regarded as the best bf by a huge majority of the fanbase..

[austere furnace]

I mean they can't remove them since people paid for skins..

[cyan trout]

Probably a small influx to see if the changes make it enjoyable then back to how it was within the month. Just my guess though

[brittle forge]

Even battlefield 4 never recovered launch player base because of how badly it blew things. BFV “recovered” enough to get cancelled by EA and DICE for not having enough players to justify support

[hard plume]

Best type of drug

[sage ingot]

Friendly reminder that bf4 was almost unplayable at launch and people were shitting hard on it, like real hard

[chilly oak]

you think if bf never released on steam a year or 2 ago it would have a better reputation

[austere furnace]

Bf4 has been unplayable for months..

[edgy oriole]

i wont be enjoying this update until thursday when its weekly reset. i might play a game or so after work tho.

[dim hatch]

music now sucks.

music then was better

[arctic grove]

hows the update lol

[fiery shoal]

even further friendly reminder, bf4 would still be unplayable now if we are using 2042s timeline...

[austere furnace]

Very fine for me

[dim hatch]

downloading

[chilly oak]

good

[blissful robin]

Playable

[arctic grove]

i heard nightbirds are 1 shot

[steep jewel]

Battlefield 4 on PC has full servers across the board daily over here,

[brittle forge]

BF4 was a promising game that people were willing to wait for, and even then as I said to frosty it never recovered it’s launch playerbase, not even close

[austere furnace]

2042 unplayable if you don't know how to shoot in a spread base game

[dim hatch]

why does everyone try to create a canonized universe for every piece of media?

[sage ingot]

But then suddenly, upon reveal of BF 1, bf4 became "the real bf experience"

[cyan trout]

No people just wouldn't be able to see it floundering

[fiery shoal]

first time getting 4 replied in a row..

[chilly oak]

people wouldnt have the excuse to say "less then 1k" in any argument of why its "dead"

[slate meadow]

I think the bugs and things would have been forgivable if it wasn't for EA saying the game was " ahead of schedule" and that they removed the campaign to make the multiplayer experience the "best it can be "

[sage ingot]

Congrats, you get like 20 replies in a row during rush hour when you say something like "I like the specialists"

[fiery shoal]

goal post changing, and its very rare for any game to get "launch playerbase", especially if you are talking about peaks

[arctic grove]

[steep jewel]

Much like halo, we'd be in the dark about how bad numbers are on console but EA doesn't really give updates on other versions of the game

[austere furnace]

Hardline much funnier and skillier than bf1 hands down

[pearl zenith]

Jumping is different now, there's like a camera wiggle effect now

[arctic grove]

battlefield 1 was fun

[austere furnace]

Yes

[sage ingot]

No game is ever gonna have its launch playerbase because at launch is the only time you can guarantee everyone that owns the game will be playing it, otherwise timezones and schedules come into play

[dim hatch]

value metrics should do a count at launch +7 days. People usually have their comlaints and get bored within thew week.

[grizzled whale]

how can i add someone on xbox as a pc player

[cyan trout]

But then we wouldn't be talking about it 6 months after launch with a content drought

[sage ingot]

Xabox app on pc?

[grizzled whale]

no i mean on 2042

[fiery shoal]

oh ive been in the shit storm of "defending" 2042 from rabid 2042 hate boner freaks before, just normally i dont get 4 replies without a break in messages

[fringe bobcat]

What’s peoples thoughts of the update ? A good start ?

[wide shore]

You open the social tab, go to search, and search up their EA ID

[sage ingot]

Value metrics mean literally nothing and they are just a fancy gimmick to bring down other games or to claim yours is better

[cyan trout]

It's painful. Basically have to join a small portal lobby or run into them in the same server. I tried using the social invite for 2 friends using their Xbox id and EA Id but they never got the invites.

[edgy oriole]

you gotta go to social and get their EA account

[brittle forge]

I’m not sure you know what a goalpost is, what I said was hardly irrelevant given this context is pretty important to anyone who goes “Oh the battlefield community always does the same thing every game” when that isn’t even true half the time

[sage ingot]

Allow me to laugh, please, and thank you

[brittle forge]

I shouldn’t have said launch player base cause yeah that’s rarely recovered but the point is they still blew the launch and it still hurt the game

[fiery shoal]

your statement was "first impressions matter the most" which bf4 clearly disputes, then you changed the criteria and conditions... thats goal post changing

[sage ingot]

Also applies for BF3, which was horrible at launch as well

[brittle forge]

I gave more context, I didn’t change anything

[grizzled whale]

breh

[dim hatch]

I like BF2042 because it feels like BF2 and BFBC2, to me

[slate meadow]

i dont feel like bf2042 will have the same player count as bf1 does this many years after its launch

[sage ingot]

Battlefield community literally does that same thing every single time, if not, go to posts about BF V being "historically innacurate" and "not bringing anything new to the table", but now with 2042, bf v is suddenly a perfect game

[heavy kraken]

all battlefield games since 2007 have been shitty, and guess what. after all of the fixed and add-ons, they soon became one of the best battlefield games

[brittle forge]

But yeah bf4 for the exception to the rule, sue me

[wide shore]

A bad launch doesn’t matter as long as the game improves. BF consistently does this. Many games these days do. They shouldn’t. But nothing will ever beat a good launch.

[brittle forge]

BFV failed, clearly people still hated it enough to not play it

[fiery shoal]

r6 another example

[cyan trout]

I edited my comments to clarify. My friends on Xbox weren't getting my friend invites.

[heavy kraken]

exactly, but people are a bunch of crybabies

[sage ingot]

Specially considering that BF is like 80% dlc since 3

[heavy kraken]

had a blast at the game lol

[slate meadow]

bfv was actually on the cusp of being a decent game but noooo ea had to stop support for it just as it was heading in the right direction

[next onyx]

Going through these launches, I always wonder if the launch was really really good and kept people hooked how would things seem now?

[fiery shoal]

bfv problems hardly had to do with the game itself until they started patching/changing shit randomly

[wide shore]

I totally understand people being upset with 2042. It’s their opinion, and that’s okay. But people who shame others for enjoying it can walk the plank.

[next onyx]

Bf5's biggest issue was PR.

[heavy kraken]

exactly

[sage ingot]

So basically all of reddit

[heavy kraken]

what's that

[cyan trout]

👍

[fiery shoal]

"bfv THE GAME sucks, because an exec said mean things and the launch trailer was shit"... logic

[wide shore]

I unsubbed from most BF reddits. I can only take so much copy-pasta rage.

[slate meadow]

i want my 13 y/o daughter to be able to dress like a fornite character and be " on the right side of history"

[next onyx]

I guarantee you that if bf5's PR was better than whatever the fuck that was the game would have seen a bit more content and general confidence in the public eye.

[brittle forge]

If 2042 recovers, great, fantastic. But it’s stupid to say this game doesn’t have its work cut out for it because this is easily the second worst launch of the franchise. There is going to be a point where “battlefield always fixes itself” isn’t going to be true because they just went too far. That may be this game, it might not be

[dim hatch]

anyone seen the players who get in the game, have a 3:14 K:D ratio and say "this game sucks?"

[next onyx]

@heavy kraken Public reception.

[heavy kraken]

ahh

[brittle forge]

Hey I like the battlefield v too I was upset when it was canceled but it was canceled

[heavy kraken]

ik, i really liked the pacific dlc

[slate meadow]

think bfv was the start of "woke" gaming and its been a downwards spiral since

[brittle forge]

And it did deserve a good deal of the criticism thrown at it too

[fiery shoal]

you got 2 years of content with absolutely no indication of how long content was going to last and still say it was cancelled?

[next onyx]

If soderlund didn't say that dumb shit and insulting the fan base things would have done better.

[sage ingot]

I just go there for laughs, like when they mention THE PETITION or their screenshots of "obviously downgraded" gfx when is the game but like on Mid gfx options

[brittle forge]

They clearly intended to do more and cut it short, so yeah. also two years is far less impressive when you consider that one of those years almost had fucking nothing in it

[fiery shoal]

i think the trailer was the most damning aspect

[next onyx]

I would have loved to see Russians and more U.S vs GER maps.

[heavy kraken]

i wish the next battlefield actually has paid dlc's, none of that ''batle pass'' bs

[mental delta]

Did VOIP bring back some people on the game ?

[slate meadow]

he left soon after aswell right? after taking a 20million bonus

[wide shore]

No paid maps and weapons pls.

[fiery shoal]

"clearly" according to what? that they didnt cover ALL of ww2?

[next onyx]

Those flames could have not been fed petrol if he simply shut the fuck up.

[sage ingot]

You know that we have had a season pass for battlefield since 4 right?

[next onyx]

Yeah he left shortly thereafter.

[waxen bison]

Does the game run better with update 4.0? On pc

[wide shore]

Not on series x.

[heavy kraken]

i mostly played battlefield 3 and 1 with my parents, mostly battlefield 3

[wide shore]

Still get the same dreadful stuttering as before.

[slate meadow]

is there any news on when season 1 stuff is laucnhing for 2042? im holding onto my 10hour free trial untill then

[severe carbon]

I never got stutters that bad but I have heard it does run better, but not completely stutter free

[heavy kraken]

so i never got the hang of battlefield 4 until last year

[mental delta]

They were DLC and premium

[waxen bison]

😓

[fiery shoal]

after all this time of people saying bfv was cut short, ive not seen a single source showcasing they were actually going to do more

[grim hemlock]

yo Dice where's the performance improvements you guys promised for 2042

[heavy kraken]

they need to go back with that, i really love buying dlc's

[fiery shoal]

they came in the first 3 patches?

[wide shore]

They did briefly add the LAD LMG which was a Russian LMG.

[unborn cave]

penguinz0 just released a new video about bf2042 and its perfect

[grim hemlock]

and barely made a difference

[fiery shoal]

100%, still added them though....

[slate meadow]

it was supposed to have another years support as the gap between bf games was one year longer for 2042 but they stopped it

[severe carbon]

apparently Boltes can 1 shot a nightbird across the map now with lock-on missiles lol

[dim hatch]

not one error?

[sage ingot]

Premium was pretty much a "battlepass" in the way it gives you more stuff, more rewards, more cosmetics

[next onyx]

To be honest there might of not been more content planned but it would have been nice if they continued supporting it.

[mental delta]

Me too at least you knew what to expect and they respected their schedule

[heavy kraken]

i might even get the witch queen dlc for destiny 2

[heavy kraken]

yeah

[unborn cave]

his review of the game is exactly how like 90% of people feel

[fiery shoal]

source? or is that just speculation?

[slate meadow]

man ive been looking at elden ring and ive never played a soulds game

[sage ingot]

Source: Engine

[fiery shoal]

ehhhh....

[heavy kraken]

only problem is, and leaning towards battlefield 3 more, the dlc's were expensive as shit

[grim hemlock]

They're legally required to provide a year's worth of content at least

[cyan trout]

Probably not any source more the feeling of the game was just getting it's legs under it and they got cut out from under the game too soon.

[brittle forge]

They said multiple times that more theaters were planned. Sure it was verbal and not in clear cut writing, but given how much “tides of war is a trip through WW2” was stressed and stuff that was datamined they clearly had further plans. There was also that former DICE dev who commented last year on the two 1942 Portal maps that they were repurposed content that was cut from V.

[mental delta]

Premium had nothing to do with battlepass as if you weren't paying for premium you would not get any new content, battlepass has free content

[heavy kraken]

and we got the entire premium pass

[slate meadow]

https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Cut_content_(Battlefield_V)

[fiery shoal]

the topic you just replied to is in regards to bfv, which had 2 years of content

[grim hemlock]

I'm sorry, I'll shut up

[mental delta]

At least they were worth it

[sage ingot]

Source x2

[slate meadow]

gives you all the cut content

including the fall of europe

[heavy kraken]

yep, thats why my parents got 2 passes for eachother lmao

[fiery shoal]

datamined "content" =/= cut content

[mental delta]

?

[fiery shoal]

and outright nothing that can be held accountable for considering people had to specifically dig to get that information

[heavy kraken]

my mom and dad used to play alot of battlefield 3 together

[mental delta]

Ho ok pretty cool

[hard plume]

Were they tho? How many of those maps had staying power? How many of the new modes had staying power, or even the weapons

[heavy kraken]

and they both got the premium pass for both their accounts

[fiery shoal]

this makes sense, and is a sentiment i share, but i dont parade around saying "bfv was cut short" like its a fact they told us we were going to get more content and just didnt

[mental delta]

What do you mean ?

[slate meadow]

i think it was more to do with the fact ea had said they was cutting support for bfv a year short to focus on bf2042 and then 2042 happened

[brittle forge]

It is evidence that they cut development short. Mind you I’m not incredibly triggered that they did so if the game wasn’t making money it wasn’t making money and they specifically arranged their live service so they could stop development whenever and not be under obligation to deliver anything more. But it’s kind of a “don’t piss in my ear and tell me it’s raining” type of thing

[heavy kraken]

trailer was amazing, execution was not so great. but i still have hope for the game

[forest snow]

the bug still seems to be present where you can call a tank or wildcat in and it never arrives.

[fiery shoal]

im currently looking for this source, hopefully you have one?

[heavy kraken]

battlefield 2042 really does feel abit choppy

[dim hatch]

is that a bug or is that somone else getting it first?

[forest snow]

look up and it never floats down at all just nothing comes.

[brittle forge]

I think that sentiment was from a dice dev blog post that happened when they announced I think it was the conquest version of Provence? I can try and find that real quick

[dim hatch]

i get that, but if someone called it down just before you click the item, wouldn't you be of the mind that you called it, but that it is actually not available.

[elder patrol]

Just seen a bolte 1 shot a nightbird with rocket pod

[forest snow]

but then my timer starts and says in use.

[dim hatch]

good

nightbirds are overpowered

[elder patrol]

Bolte is worse

Actually I take that back, they're both stupid

[heavy kraken]

[umbral island]

Is the game worth to reinstall?

[cyan trout]

If I recall the announcement was surrounding support for the game (updates) rather than development.

[heavy kraken]

give it a try, and if it's good for you, then keep it

[slate meadow]

i hope as a bf fan that dice/ea can really put this one around but hon estly with the fact that soo many og bf devs have gone and not many of the new devs no frostbite so well that maybe its just to far gone

[slate meadow]

https://www.ign.com/articles/battlefield-5-summer-update-final-ea-dice this article is the closest i can find t

[heavy kraken]

wait frostbite isn't running as engine for bf2042❓

wtf

[hard plume]

That depends on your grievance of the game

[ripe hedge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_lAb8m9MpI

[heavy kraken]

senator armstrong yet again

[sage ingot]

Me when explaining why mackay is the worst character

[brittle forge]

I mean supporting the game is development but I take your point

[heavy kraken]

don't say that to human pathfinder

[sage ingot]

He's not the worst character, he's tied with sundance

[brittle forge]

Robot pathfinder >>>>>>> Human Pathfinder

[naive trellis]

Did anyone say Frostbite?

[cyan trout]

The official roadmap just went through chapter 5 with a disclaimer in small print that the items on it can change at any point for any reason

[forest snow]

anyone know if seasons will have content just for 2042 or portal aswell they ever said anything?

[slate meadow]

bf2042 runs on frostbite but the devs that now work on it was apparently still learning how to use the frostbite engine

[sage ingot]

That's a giant BS

The current devs are formerly known as Ghost games, mfs made 3 NFS games that run on frostbite

[edgy oriole]

no one knows yet.

[dapper river]

no frostbite = *know frostbite

[pulsar vine]

There’s like 5 studios that worked on the game 🙃

[brittle forge]

I mean we do know from dice devs that have spoken up about it that the engine is hard to work with

[pulsar vine]

All very different backgrounds developer wise

[naive trellis]

[brittle forge]

This is throughout the years mind you but still

[sage ingot]

Talking about the ones whose logo appears in the cover, Dice Gothemburg, aka Ghost Games

[fiery shoal]

at the same time its been said often that frostbite is one of the few, if not the only, engine that can handle bf

[slate meadow]

they said those devs didnt know it well and that its ageing is causing issues for the game

[pulsar vine]

Ripple effect I’d consider DICE 2.0

[fiery shoal]

i mean, there arent any bf like games out there really....

[brittle forge]

Probably true at the time those sentiments were coming out

[forest snow]

DICE dont forget to keep adding new skins for the ranger!

[brittle forge]

Stuff like unreal engine five could probably handle about a battlefield type of game today but you’d have to build the framework up again

[fiery shoal]

yea i assume this will change with time, but we still dont have anything that does what bf does.. cod war game and fortnite being the 2 closest and theres obviously shortcoming from those 2 games compared to any bf

[slate meadow]

i think frostbite was actually designed for bf and then used on other games afterwrads

[dapper river]

real engine 5

[brittle forge]

Evil Unreal Engine be like: Real Engine

[forest snow]

believe it was for bad company 1 and bringing battlefield to console.

[brittle forge]

Yeah pretty much

[sage ingot]

Is more about the latter than the former, the people that they put on this project is far from being a recent graduate that only knows how to use blender

[slate meadow]

did you guys see that superman play through on ure5

[sage ingot]

Superman 64 on UE5 when

[brittle forge]

It was also behind their push for destruction, since that obviously wasn’t present in the Refraction engine games

[forest snow]

yea to be fair looking back it was a huge jump forward

[sage ingot]

Also, whatever happened to Battlebit, the supposedly bf killer? DId it died already like ww3 did like 5 times before?

[brittle forge]

I feel like people forget that classes have been around longer than destruction has

[silver lantern]

So
Game better now?

[slate meadow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BVoig1mj2U

[brittle forge]

I mean from what I hear Battlebit is fine but it’s not a triple A game

[sage ingot]

Game better implies this game was anything but perfect to begin with, so no, the game is not better, is still as perfect as on day one, pristine condition, wont find this anywhere ellse

[forest snow]

just needs new content now asap

[hearty flame]

no content for at least 2 months

[forest snow]

even put just put some bundles in the store anything

[brittle forge]

Apparently yes. Whether better means “worth playing” is up to you

[slate meadow]

next gen games are going to be incredible but will they give me the goose bumps of what bf1 did when i first saw the airship l30

[sage ingot]

Considering that s1 was announced and delayed for summer, i dont see why they would release it before

[forest snow]

agreed just season 1 needs to be fairly beefy in content

[chilly oak]

YES! they made the discarded levolution super easy and quick

[sage ingot]

Is battlefield, 80% of the content is added post launch as dlc, so, yes it will be

[lyric snow]

is mackay good now?

[sage ingot]

Will never be

[compact sleet]

Well if season one is as content filled as this patch people are gonna look like real idiots preaching how bad the game is

[slate meadow]

Did you see the link

[sage ingot]

not even close

[hearty flame]

If dices content pacing is still as bad as it was in V then I wouldnt expect too much

[runic prism]

5th time I get a bad team fuck this

[brittle forge]

“Filled with content as this patch” my brother in Christ there is no content in the patch. It’s a patch for fixing things

Like I hope season one is good and all but if “it is as filled with content as this patch” that would mean we’re getting literally nothing lmao

[compact sleet]

I mean like the amount of shit in this patch as content

Like there’s 400* patches if season is is that packed with content

[brittle forge]

400 lines of new content definitely would be really nice

[hardy leaf]

yup, fixing a rare bug that cause your weapon to have a bit extra recoil

[brittle forge]

Considering that would pretty much be all of BFV’s post launch content for a year combined I’d be skeptical but hey here’s hoping

[hardy leaf]

the stuff that no one even knows about, seems to me like they creating bugs just for the sake of showing that they fixed something

[brittle forge]

I mean that’s a pretty dumb conspiracy to be fair

“We intentionally broke our game so players could hate it”

[compact sleet]

Bro I don’t mean 400 I mean if it’s anywhere close to that it’d be really nice

[thorny oxide]

I hope that after the game is in a playable state, they start adding content

[brittle forge]

That wasn’t really directed at you I was just kind of musing out loud there, I get what you’re saying

[thorny oxide]

But then again im not hopeful

[slate meadow]

What they do need to do is stop putting players that have like 150+ ping into games with people that have 30ping because it's just a instance loss in that case

[thorny oxide]

Not a single bf game required patches that were prioritized over adding content

[brittle forge]

I mean we will have added content. They literally are legally required to add content

[thorny oxide]

Bf4 was already getting new content at about the same time this game is just now starting to get patches

[brittle forge]

Unless they do something they’re not going to do, like refund season passes

[edgy oriole]

there has been patches every month since release.

[hardy leaf]

the first impression of this game is so bad, that whatever they doing isnt enough to bring those players back

[fiery solar]

turn specialists into regular soldiers and make their current appearance a skin

[thorny oxide]

I can say confidently that this is the worst battlefield ever made

[brittle forge]

His point was about content, there really hasn’t been anything significant since launch. Understandably so but you can’t really compare balance patches and fixes to the second assault DLC or china rising

[thorny oxide]

Patches, not content

[hardy leaf]

and remove those cringe lines they speak

[fiery solar]

game where good teammates needed adds voicechat after 5 months of release

[slate meadow]

Bring back support class and none auto repair

[fierce gull]

wait they added TV missiles to portal?

[edgy oriole]

i was replying to the end part of your sentence.

[fiery solar]

question can i make a portal game where 2042 has bf3 vehicles

[warped pulsar]

Been there

[fierce gull]

damn I have been missing out

[warped pulsar]

Yep

[chilly oak]

ive never seen that

[fiery solar]

neither have I

like can i make a conquest game where 2042 soldiers can spawn in 1942 vehicles

[warped pulsar]

Oh wait maybe not tv

[tulip cipher]

i wish I could just play Battlefield 1942 and Vietnam with this new engine on my ps5

[brittle forge]

Apparently you can actually tell what is on and what is off in the settings menu, bravo DICE

The color palette for the buttons was such a weird choice

[daring pawn]

I just deleted this game. Never coming back. Cya

[brittle forge]

May you find greener pastures friend

[slate meadow]

Bf1 is still solid

[merry lance]

How's the game after the update? At work and won't be able to play till tonight. Hopefully this helps bring the players back.

[tulip cipher]

Kylo Ren will not be back Anakin

[brittle forge]

It’s definitely an improvement, But I doubt the overall situation with the game will fundamentally change until season one launches

[tulip cipher]

just needs more maps specifically for 1942 and Vietnam and then it's a 10/10 for me

[thorny oxide]

Im glad that the Battlefield 1 servers are alive an well now

[fierce gull]

ye im pretty sure they just added TV missiles to portal

no way I missed this

[brittle forge]

Before mindless people here bitch that I’m daring to post a reddit link, this is a list of unlisted/stealth changes in the patch for your convenience https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/u733jd/update_40_040_stealth_changes_list/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

[thorny oxide]

Don’t post reddit links here

They hate reddit links

[brittle forge]

I’m daring this one time

[slate meadow]

No Reddit links spammer 😂

[thorny oxide]

They write off opinions on reddit as invalid because “reddit bad lol”

Even when it’s legit criticism

[arctic grove]

Mackays visor got darkened? Damn that’s actually lit. It was marketed as being darker anyways

[slate meadow]

Mate ubisoft run there Reddit page and any negative review is instantly deleted and baneed from the reddit

[brittle forge]

it as kinda a circlejerk that got boring quickly but as always there’s more depth than the surface level impression

[arctic grove]

And improved destruction is a big step up, dice wasn’t lying about the QoL improvements

Still a lot more to do but that’s dope so far

[brittle forge]

Sounds like Ubisoft

[thorny oxide]

Ubisoft is such a shitty company lmao

What else were you expecting?

[arctic grove]

My only experience with Ubisoft so far is ghost recon

Safe to say they are definitely not that good

[thorny oxide]

Ghost recon wildlands is a diamond in the rough

Breakpoint not so much

[arctic grove]

I have breakpoint, I’d like to get wildlands but I dunno if it has a 60 FPS upgrade for next gen

[silk surge]

The game is definitely significantly cleaner than it was yesterday. Been playing all day today.

[thorny oxide]

But i had a ton of fun with wildlands, i still do to this day

[brittle forge]

Ubisoft strikes me as the company whose CMs would unironically pull the “y’all can’t behave” trope

[silk surge]

They actually fixed the wall revive bug this time. I'm impressed.

[arctic grove]

I noticed it immediately, some things were subtle but a lot was immediately noticeable, hyped for the may update

[merry lance]

That's good to hear!

[arctic grove]

I like how you don’t have to hold to revive anymore, it’ll make healing 300x more efficient

[quick apex]

Is there a roadmap?

[thorny oxide]

Maybe theres hope for the game yet

[brittle forge]

Wildlands was good, I do wish the games were more traditionally ghost recon

[silk surge]

Praise the cycle

[brittle forge]

but it was fun

[slate meadow]

Guys when is the year 1 stuff coming?

[thorny oxide]

Wildlands is one of the best open world experiences ive had

[brittle forge]

summer, they said early summer but we don’t have a month

[white geyser]

Summer this summer

[silk surge]

Early summer

[slate meadow]

Summer!

[silk surge]

But given DICE's definition of 'early' I'd take that part with a grain of salt.

[slate meadow]

Wtf that's like another 3months

[arctic grove]

I’ve always believed it would do this game justice. Some believe it’ll relaunch in June and that’s most likely not the case but I know they can make it a far better experience than it used to be

[brittle forge]

To be fair this is been known for a while I think that’s more responsible for the player drop then anything else to be honest

[silk surge]

Yup. Unacceptable for a AAA live service game of this size. But what can ya do.

[arctic grove]

Also what happened to sundances helmet ?

[jade merlin]

We need new maps like rn

[silk surge]

They removed it before the launch. They have a beanie now. There's also the T1 skin, but I want all of their skins to have a helmet.

[brittle forge]

Unfortunately not gonna happen

[jade merlin]

Infantry conquest it great tho

Better than all out warfare

[arctic grove]

Oh I know what you’re talking about now. Yeah, sundance had the T1 helmet but not in T1 colors in the trailer and I always wondered where it went. Rao did too in the trailer

[brittle forge]

Infantry conquest was pretty fun, I hope this update fixes the mouse input problems I was having though

[arctic grove]

Rao had a helmet*

[jade merlin]

Who even uses rao

[fiery shoal]

i play infantry only, but i like having vehicles in game, as long as they arent abusive

[jade merlin]

What are the new abilities too

[jade merlin]

Yeah same

[silk surge]

He auto 3d-spots people that shoots at him, just like Paik used to do.

[brittle forge]

I imagine he’s gonna get some play now but I had literally had not seen him in weeks even before I stopped playing for a while

[arctic grove]

Breakthrough is okay although I had the misfortune of dealing with two 50mm super hinds earlier. Not too awful though I suppose

[jade merlin]

Breakthrough for me is less than 60 fps shite

[silk surge]

Vehicle balance is a lot better now with these new timers.

Although, the lack of vehicles in a game makes the maps look a bit more empty.

[surreal crystal]

I be getting mad fps doe

[brittle forge]

The transports are unironically the most obnoxious air vehicles in the game if the player has built them out properly, people are sleeping on them because that’s relatively rare

[silk surge]

I only end up with braindead dipshits in my main gunner seat when I spawn a transport heli.

[brittle forge]

Also depends on having good gunners

[arctic grove]

Yeah, they tend to literally be better than the KA-520 and AH-64 if you have gunners that aren’t tunnel visioned on infantry 24/7

[jade merlin]

Nah the helicopters are a pisstake

Sniping them out the air with a recoilless is hilarious tho

[arctic grove]

And I can’t tell if it’s intentional or not that competent gunners can make every other air vehicle in a game extinct if they aren’t in an equally competent transport

I think 50mm got nerfed for air to ground though so perhaps wildcats have more opportunity now

[silk surge]

I got a 500m recoilless snipe on an osprey today and got 5k. I didn't even see it lmao.

[jade merlin]

Jeeez

[arctic grove]

That update is pretty damn good though nonetheless

[silk surge]

Now that's a Battlefield moment right there.

[brittle forge]

Yeah in heli 1 v 1’s the transports will win if the gunners are competent and pilot gives them good coverage

[chilly oak]

you know the c5 thing rao done in the trailer, i just done it and killed someone lol

[jade merlin]

What specialist are your guys' mains

[brittle forge]

They have more health and damage than anything else it seems like

[silk surge]

I gave my main gunner the perfect opportunity to take down a stationary Nightbird, and he just sat there and drooled.

[brittle forge]

Either Falck or Angel

[arctic grove]

I noticed that 120mm anti vehicle rockets are your best bet at melting transports, they actually do tons of damage and you only need to hit so many before you can create distance to finish them with AAs

[jade merlin]

Angel does it again

Paik is actually mad fun tho

[arctic grove]

I main dozer rn, mostly for his skins. Dozers blast resistant helmet with any combat uniform is what I want every specialist to be able to look like in the game

[silk surge]

Dozer skins are lit. Looks like a juggernaut.

[jade merlin]

What's his talent again?

[arctic grove]

Shield that also got an honestly well deserved nerf

[silk surge]

He has a ballistic shield and takes less explosive damage

[slate meadow]

It's actually blown my mind that they are allowed to wait that long to drop any new content for the game I'm so glad I never invested into this game

[arctic grove]

You get stunned if tank shells hit you with it out now

[silk surge]

That's a pretty clever nerf

[chilly oak]

they released a new mode and skin every week too

[silk surge]

Although in real life, you'd become a human pancake on impact if you tried to deflect a tank shell with a ballistic shield.

[jade merlin]

You know what the tank is absolutely shit

Stroll up to it with c5 and finished

[night vessel]

ahh why is my game keep letting me quit the game every 2 mins ?

[arctic grove]

Some of the weekly challenges are subpar. But I like to log on to get em anyways, and slice away at how far I am from T1ing random stuff. I’m not a chronic gamer so I personally perceive there to still be content in this game for me to get, like t1ing the MAV which is probably a mega flex

[brittle forge]

The tanks are pretty bad compared to everything else yeah

[silk surge]

Is it just me or are footsteps always silent when it comes to people C5ing your tank? I almost never hear them coming, and I listen to footsteps like a hawk.

[arctic grove]

Can you still C5 drone?

[brittle forge]

Yep

[arctic grove]

Damn that’s probably not going extinct till may then

[brittle forge]

Blows my mind honestly considering they fix that in Battlefield three pretty quickly because surprise surprise people straps the drones with C4 and blew the hell out of tanks

And in this game fucking everybody can carry a rocket launcher so tanks already have enough to deal with

[arctic grove]

Exactly

[night vessel]

Also

[silk surge]

BF3 had the same issue with MAV laced C4 during launch, but it got patched pretty quickly. Surprised that drone C5 is still a thing.

[arctic grove]

I love to play armor but it’s pain incarnate

[silk surge]

or C4 laced MAV rather

[night vessel]

They made wildcat have great horsepower like holeshit it does not feel no longer a fucking sluggish LAV

[arctic grove]

That’s good

I wonder if it’s turret traversal was maybe increased as well?

[brittle forge]

I honestly forgot the Hellcat was in the game because I barely ever see it

[arctic grove]

wait are we not talking about wildcat

[night vessel]

can't really tell the difference

[brittle forge]

Wildcat sorry

[silk surge]

I might be imagining things, but I feel like sliding is a lot smoother now. It feels closer to how it was in BFV.

[arctic grove]

Oh you’re good, I genuinely thought there was something like that that I didn’t notice

[jade merlin]

Bolte overpowered needs nerf

[night vessel]

but dude! my FPS FEELS SOO GOOD ITS SOO SMOOTH

[silk surge]

Bolte got nerfed to shit

[arctic grove]

The camera effects too when you jump or slide, and I think the game has a jump counter now

[jade merlin]

Optimisation update???

[night vessel]

This update legit made my 1050Ti card run real smooth dude

[brittle forge]

I’m confusing hellcat and wildcat like I do with the actual World War II aircraft

[arctic grove]

That way you can’t just jump 90000 times and you actually get weaker when you keep doing it

[jade merlin]

Holy shit I have one too I'm hopping on rn

[silk surge]

Wait really? What FPS are you at?

That's a pretty old card

[night vessel]

40 to 50 fps average for a 1050 ti card

[silk surge]

That's pretty acceptable for a 1050 ti, nice!

[night vessel]

yooo new layout ?

[brittle forge]

Off topic but I listened to the Battlefield 3 soundtrack yesterday both normal and premium albums and I forgot how much it slapped

[signal schooner]

3080 and a 5800X with 32 GB ram, 60 fps 🙂

[subtle imp]

anyone know what the green dots are in weapon selection?

[chilly oak]

ur team has them

[radiant prism]

What weapons squadmates are using

[silk surge]

BF3 had the best OST imho.

[subtle imp]

i'd expect more from that setup

[subtle imp]

Thanks!

[night vessel]

best to do some settings changes to make it run smooth

[signal schooner]

I most definitely do, 2042 is still the only game that gets FPS this low for me

[fiery shoal]

so when paik was announced everyone said she was broken, and now shes getting buffs?

[silk surge]

I don't really like the 2042 soundtrack. I appreciate the fact that it's very on-theme to the world of 2042, but it's so unpleasant to listen to.

[signal schooner]

I'm down for it, you really don't see many people running Paik

[jade merlin]

Can u DM me some stuff to change pls

[subtle imp]

i'm on all ultra settings, 3840x1600, and get 140-150fps

[frosty mural]

not a lot of people run her anyways

[silk surge]

I finished Paik T1 yesterday, I'm probably not going to play her for a while.

[signal schooner]

Damn thats insane, you playing things like 64v64 breakthrough and stuff?

[subtle imp]

disabled ray-traced ambient occlusion though, that made a huge difference... and no i can play on 128 servers no porblem also

[silk surge]

Has it improved for you compared to yesterday, or does it always play that smoothly?

[subtle imp]

improved for sure

[silk surge]

Nice

[subtle imp]

would have been around 110-120 previously

[frosty mural]

whats your gpu and cpu?

[subtle imp]

12900k + 3080Ti

[signal schooner]

Unfortunately I have it turned off and I'm still between 50-60 fps, EVGA 3080, Ryzen 7 5800X, and 32 GB RAM @ 3200Mhz

[foggy halo]

download complete! launch 🚀

[frosty mural]

well, 80% of people here don't have that 😦
2070 with 9700K here and I'm happy with getting 80FPS on High on 1080p

[silk surge]

The best part of 4.0 is that the rocket explosion event no longer causes a massive lag spike on PS5. It's a really cool levolution event that was ruined by the lag.

[subtle imp]

no i know my PC is a bit beyond most folks lol, but even still seeing others specs i would have expected more

[naive trellis]

Make sure you have future frame rendering turned off.

[chilly oak]

they fixed the swimming animation

[frosty mural]

does that increase fps?

[signal schooner]

I'll give that a go and let you know the results

[naive trellis]

I'm averaging somewhere around 78-79 FPS on Ultra

[naive trellis]

Did for me, at least. Well, most noticeably it got rid of some stutter.

[frosty mural]

hmm i'll try that ty

[runic prism]

I played a couple hours and im like 1 level up wtf . Im now level 84–>85 . i earn like 14K after the match

[analog fractal]

Infantry conquest mode kinda actually feels like Battlefield. I guess it helps when you play on BF3/BC2 maps and not the 2042 ones.

[chilly oak]

vcar best attachments?

[frosty mural]

depends what you're going for play around to your style

[chilly oak]

short to medium

[brittle forge]

The attachments did just get a rebalance so what people were playing with may not be that great anymore

[chilly oak]

ill have to test them all

barely have any anyway

[signal schooner]

No fps change

[strong snow]

How does man only get 50FPS on 3060

God help those on GTX cards

[abstract gate]

For some reason I can't play the game. I play the EA trial but it never finishes loading.

[strong snow]

Firewall maybe? Idk

[frosty mural]

can't wait to fire up the update..

[dim lance]

i cant find a game to play i tried portal it just put me in an empty server

[strong snow]

128 all out warfare is pretty full tbh

[subtle imp]

wish there was a permanent HC mode though

[edgy oriole]

judging by your profile you are oce which means the game is pretty dead for you guys and asian market. idk whats popular in oce but maybe try conquest.

[radiant prism]

All out warfare might have more luck

[dim lance]

it says waiting for like 30 every time i try all out warfare and the number only goes up

[river trench]

Can anyone tell me the player count of the game rn?

[chilly oak]

no one knows, thats just steam

[night vessel]

I just found a bug that is very annyoing right about now

[dim lance]

why tf is it required to have 128 people before the game can start with the game this dead

[chilly oak]

is the champion muzzle break better or tactical compensator

[chilly oak]

its not....

[river trench]

What is it

[dim lance]

then why does it say waiting for 30 instead of starting the game

[chilly oak]

because u joined an empty sever. ive never even been in a screen where it says waiting for x players

[night vessel]

I join a match and randomly I get kicked out of it go back to main menu to reque again like wtf is this ?

[dim lance]

im clicking play on all out warfare

[jade merlin]

Before the update I got 55 fps average idk what I'll get now

[radiant prism]

do you have crossplay turned on?

[dim lance]

good ole "if it doesnt happen to me it doesnt exist" thanks for your input

yes

[night vessel]

I got video proof just uploading it right now xD

[runic prism]

When is there a option coming to switch teams. I played a lot today and i only had cancer teammates all the time. It ruins my battlefield experience

[slate meadow]

that is the bf experience

[runic prism]

That is definitely not the battlefield experience. I keep dying if my team doesn’t do a SHIT . I try to capture and i try to kill as many as possible but my team sucks so hard

Losing with 0-500 is definitely not a experience

[radiant prism]

If you're trying to lone wolf it and expecting your team to just personally escort you is a lot to ask from randoms. lmao

[eternal storm]

That sounds like bf…

[night vessel]

https://youtu.be/8MRorb9lFjU legit weird as bug

[runic prism]

The enemy team captures litteraly almost the whole map lmao

[arctic grove]

Asking 3rd time. Is menu and loading music gone for anyone else?

[night vessel]

yes

[arctic grove]

This sucks

Also intro music

[eternal storm]

This isn’t hell let loose or squad, bf isn’t about team play

[glossy storm]

So how does Kaleidoscope play now?

[night vessel]

No wounder why

[radiant prism]

I don't think they really updated the maps yet

[night vessel]

fucking steam................................................

[idle wraith]

what y'all think about the patch?

[subtle imp]

same as it did yesterday - map updates are in the season 1 patch i think

[hard plume]

What happened

[night vessel]

it seems the game kept kicking me because of steam not downloading the update game normaley

[tardy tree]

so when are we gonna get overhauled levolution and destruction

[hard plume]

That sound exactly like battlefield

[hard plume]

Aww that sucks, you able to fix it?

[night vessel]

fixing it now

[bleak nebula]

lol air radar now shows tanks

[foggy halo]

@night vessel

[slate meadow]

you sure thats why its happening

[white geyser]

After the update, I forgot how to use text message, I just finish updating it on my PS5 and check everything else

[glossy storm]

Damn, Mackay's grapple hook has received a nice upgrade.

[hexed mango]

really what changed

[slate meadow]

Smoke no longer stops it

[glossy storm]

You can actually Spider-Man to vehicles now.

[fierce gull]

You saw my reddit post?

[slate meadow]

Should have called the game battlefield infinite 😂

[chilly oak]

i saw it too

[glossy storm]

That was yours? Damn...

[lavish marsh]

how much did performance improve with 4.0 update?

[chilly oak]

decent amount

[fierce gull]

I gained like 10 frames lol
Not that much

[lavish marsh]

what card do u have?

[grizzled whale]

snipers only on battle of the budge

[fierce gull]

3060ti

[grizzled whale]

god that was fun

[lavish marsh]

damn same. wb cpu?

[white geyser]

I’ll come back and learn how to use text chat messages again, I completely forgot how to use it

[fierce gull]

Ryzen 7 5800x

[edgy oriole]

we have the same first part of name....

[white geyser]

I can’t wait to yell at someone’s ears using voice chat and tell them how pathetic they are and don’t know how to be a pro

[eternal storm]

Why are people creating portal modes that noone plays? There are always maybe 3 servers half full and the other hundred 1/64 or 1/128 lol

[compact sleet]

Idk it’s kinda annoying

[night vessel]

yeah my game is fixed now it was fucking steam

[lament plank]

Should I do a reinstall when I get home (PC player)? I know the patch is live but any thoughts?

[fierce gull]

Still questioning myself on why they didn't add TV missile to the patch notes

[lament plank]

Hi bb long time no see ❤️

[fierce gull]

Sup

[lament plank]

Oh I’m soaked on a bus because bad rain storm lol

[night vessel]

there are many hidden things that came in the patch lol

[grizzled whale]

they needed 4 people camping to take me down

[surreal crystal]

Eyo game stuck in loading screen??

No you can't do well with snipers your hacking!!! - Boomers on Facebook.

[arctic grove]

Nice cropping

[hexed mango]

HOLY SHIT YEA

[foggy halo]

People were so hyped for portal but no one plays it
empty servers

[grizzled whale]

Skill issue

[dapper river]

#32 You can now use a controller and USB devices together. I use a Razer Tartarus and if it was plugged in, my controller inputs would not be read.
So like, does that mean I could keyboard with one hand and controller with the other now?

[river trench]

I just want mouse and keyboard to be added to ps4

[fierce gull]

I'm ready for epic kills with the grapple hook and rocket launchers

[oak galleon]

Friday night portal game is a lot of fun

[hexed mango]

shush

[hexed mango]

yes yes yes

i’m gonna go back to maining Mackay now

[grizzled whale]

no more bhop tho

[dapper river]

they fucked up by
A. no matchmaking to help seed empty servers
B. no weapon/mastery progression for MONTHS to "combat XP farmers"

[glossy storm]

Who needs b-hop anyway?

[eternal storm]

Lol game journalists putting out that bf2042 “only” has the ability to voice chat in party or squad…as if I want to hear 32-64 people on mic lol

[subtle imp]

i know... thats always been the way voip has worked... also, what is it with console players screeching constantly in voip? is it always that toxic on console?

[river sequoia]

Terrible enough to listen to the console players mic use

[tough sonnet]

i hope they consider proximity chat eventually, it'll be so funny with 128p

[edgy oriole]

i hope not. imma have to mute the whole server.

[dapper river]

open mic on console, plus PS5babbies have no idea their controller has a mute button

[scenic tartan]

https://twitter.com/Carpo_VP/status/1516351323779870725

[dapper river]

"dualsense" more like "no sense"

[slow terrace]

Toxic player has it everywhere

[scenic tartan]

Zip lines were added between the ships on manifest

[dapper river]

[scenic tartan]

Im not sure how i feel about it i liked that sundance and mckay had an advantage to hop over to the other one

[stone epoch]

Is the game better now?

[silk surge]

Arica Harbour is such a stressful map, getting shot at from every single angle all the time.

[dapper river]

[stone epoch]

Kewl

[white geyser]

If someone forgot to turn off their mic on consoles, I’m just gonna yell at them for not realizing it

[stone epoch]

I saw a guy on reddit saying they downgraded solo/Co-Op to 16v16 instead of 32v32 like it used to be, is that true?

[subtle imp]

ugh... teamkillers in hardcore... just why...

[grizzled whale]

Ima squadkill if someone annoys me

Also, i see a lot of people complain about the sound in the game, but i think its amazing

[subtle imp]

theres 2 guys teamkilling/reviving over and over for no reason... just ruiins games

does the in-game reporting actually do anything?

[hexed mango]

eh i can live

[white geyser]

DICE if I were you right now, my only option for you is to rework AOW to have better content and co-op needs to be a separate mode, should be online matchmaking 4 player mode, but I expect to have good content in co-op mode for 2042 and not boring, the rest you can handle it to fix it.

[grizzled whale]

Especially when listening for sniper shots

[slate meadow]

Good news is I've just unlocked a flipflop decale in valorant

[subtle imp]

#general

[slate meadow]

Generally good I agree yes

[grizzled whale]

Doubt it, especially in portal

[hexed mango]

have you used the dxr-1, if so how do the sws and dxr compare

cause i’ve only really used the dxr(T1) and i’m wondering about the sws

[hexed mango]

it does, but checking them is probably not super efficient

[grizzled whale]

The dxr is good too, has a bit less bullet drop so easier long range shots

[white geyser]

Better go yell at the players how not to be a noob, it’s frustrating other players who can’t find good players

[grizzled whale]

But the sws is faster, and imo better to use

[hexed mango]

k i’ll try it out later

[willow sky]

can the dxr 1 shot?

[hexed mango]

yes

[grizzled whale]

I used to prefer the dxr, but but since they nerfed the fire rate ive used the sws

[runic prism]

Now ur talking bullshit . Otherwise it’s just a call of duty game lmao . Why did dice increased xp for supplying teammates. Because it’s about teamplay. So that more players would do that .

[grizzled whale]

Also 12 round mag on the sws

[slate meadow]

So do they conquest assault in bf2042?

[grizzled whale]

Dxr is 1 shot on upper chest and head

Sws only 1 shots on head

[hexed mango]

neato i’ll have to start using that lol

[hexed mango]

hehe 😜 that’s i all i need

[grizzled whale]

Takes some adjusting but its great

I mostly play hardcore so that makes it even better

Just look at my clips

[strong snow]

You’ll get 55 average

[hexed mango]

nah

i got 60 before, i’m getting 90 now

and i upped my graphic settings

from low to high

[strong snow]

….I literally upgraded from a GTX 1660 to a RTX 3060 and I’ve only seen a 10fps change.

[hexed mango]

cause it’s not GPU heavy lol

[grizzled whale]

Game is extremely cpu heavy

[strong snow]

If that was the case it would be all over YouTube

[edgy oriole]

2042 is dominate cpu

[hexed mango]

you should of upgraded your CPU instead

[tight sonnet]

Wow the game is great since the patch

[strong snow]

Still those that’s a big GPU change

[grizzled whale]

2070s i7 7700k = 30 fps on the point in breaktrough/60-70fps average

[edgy oriole]

9700k = 40-70- fps
12700k = 80-110 fps *1440p both

[tight sonnet]

Only thing I'm pissed about is the screen safe area

I still can't change that :(

[grizzled whale]

2070s 12600k = 100fps average

[hexed mango]

again, that doesn’t change how the game performs. it’s a CPU heavy game not gpu

[grizzled whale]

What cpu do you have @strong snow

[hexed mango]

i still want to upgrade to alder lake but i need to get a new mobo and cooler

[grizzled whale]

Ive been using the same cooler since my 6600k

[hexed mango]

which one?

[strong snow]

Ya but overall there was very little change in performance.

[hexed mango]

air or aio?

[tight sonnet]

On last gen there is

[strong snow]

i7 9th gen

[hexed mango]

lel i7 10th over here

[grizzled whale]

I5 12th gen

Outperforms i9's up to 10th gen

[hexed mango]

hehe

[tight sonnet]

Has anyone figured out how to adjust screen safe area

Like it's non existent :(

[hexed mango]

what’s safe area

[grizzled whale]

Fractal design celsius s24

[eternal storm]

Lol other than trying to pair up to take down helos or tanks…what bf have you played that actually uses 32 players working as a team?

[grizzled whale]

Was 120 bucks in 2018

[hexed mango]

air or aio/liquid

[grizzled whale]

Water

[tight sonnet]

Screen size

[grizzled whale]

Whats the issue with that

[tight sonnet]

We can't adjust it

UI is way too big

[grizzled whale]

Why would you need to

[tight sonnet]

Bruh

[honest herald]

I love bf 2042

[tight sonnet]

I just said.. text gets clipped out and so does some other stuff

[grizzled whale]

What

Can you send me a screenshot? Ive never seen that

[tight sonnet]

I'm on console

[grizzled whale]

Picture then

[hexed mango]

odd… maybe a resolution setting in display

[runic prism]

well bf1 breaktrough had a teamwork, ur one of these guys that is just trying to kill everybody lmao. Just leave battlefield and play cod then lol . Bf is capturing killing and defending at the same time in my option

[grizzled whale]

Cuz idk what you mean

[naive trellis]

If you're on Playstation the app has a gallery import feature

[tight sonnet]

I'm on xbox

[grizzled whale]

If he wants to play that way he very much can

He paid for it so he can do whatever he wants

[tight sonnet]

I love the game I'm just really sad about screen getting clipped out

[fierce gull]

Ahhh
I know what you are talking about

[grizzled whale]

I farm kills too, if i solo clear an objective the rest of the team can go cap it

[tight sonnet]

Is there a possible fix for Xbox one

[eternal storm]

Bf is an arcade game with little to no teamwork but fun to play with friends. This isn’t a game that has ever relied heavily on people working together. If you think otherwise then you’ve never played squad, rising storm, he’ll let loose etc…ie games that require teamwork to succeed

[grizzled whale]

"Just getting kills" is helping the team just as much as only capping

[runic prism]

Lmao everybody knows that. He is cringe . And then people are crying that some people are playing the game like cod lol . When this game was out. Everybody was crying like why is this game like cod lol

[naive trellis]

First time I've heard of this issue honestly, what resolution are you running the game at? Or rather, what resolution does your screen have.

[eternal storm]

Cringe? Princess I’ve been playing bf since the first one came out…

[scenic tartan]

I dont believe this is real but the team might want to get ahead of this before the reddit mob makes it into something its not
https://twitter.com/_Tom_Henderson_/status/1516493369991647238

[grizzled whale]

If everybody nows that why are you telling him he shohld play a different game?

[tight sonnet]

Ok so I had a 4k tv and now I'm on a smaller 1080 p tv and the UI is huge and moves off the screen

[runic prism]

Hell let loose sucks so hard . Play bf1 breaktrough that teamwork is so hard and nice. U gonna see the bif difference if u switch from bf2042 to bf1

[scenic tartan]

they are trying to say there's a flickering in the menus that is an epilepsy trigger

[tight sonnet]

I've had other Xbox one users tell me about this as well

[runic prism]

I dont care lol

[tight sonnet]

No I'm not bruh I'm saying the screen doesn't adjust to display on good

[arctic grove]

[eternal storm]

Then don’t talk to me ya tit

[scenic tartan]

this is about the tweet i havent even read what you said

[tight sonnet]

Can I suggest possibly adding a screen safe area so the player can adjust it?

[dry wigeon]

dead game

[tight sonnet]

Well his reply was to me that's why it was weird

[tight sonnet]

My bad

[naive trellis]

I'll forward your feedback, make sure to also submit a report on the forums, so the issue has even more visibility.

[warped pulsar]

Wish the firing mode wasn't hidden again

[scenic tartan]

its okk

[naive trellis]

I'll have a look

[brittle forge]

I mean the video seems like it could be one, that’s hardly an issue that shouldn’t be pointed out

[runic prism]

I also farm a lot of kills and capture flags . I want to help teammates. Just killing someone and dying doesn’t help a shit actually

[grizzled whale]

Ive never seen anyone talk about how the ui clips out of frame, seems like its something to do with your tv/monitor

[rotund cloak]

hey wilde idk if they added this in game im just redownloading, but is there fps cap settings?

[silk surge]

Is it just me or does the SFAR feel really weak at anything else than medium range? I've never lost close range gunfights as often as I have with this gun.

[naive trellis]

Mmmmmnot sure, I can check

[runic prism]

Ur angry 😳

[grizzled whale]

Killing one enemy means theres one less enemy to defend a point

[tight sonnet]

Thanks. Other Xbox users have had this issue too. Can I have a link to the forum? I just don't like big ui going off the screen lol.

[naive trellis]

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/battlefield-2042-bug-reports-en

[tight sonnet]

Thanks

[grizzled whale]

People only going for kills does a lot more for a team than snipers on the edge of the map getting 10 kills the whole match

[runic prism]

Jes if the enemy is in the objective but not just random killing thats what im saying

[grizzled whale]

No kills are random though

[cyan trout]

Sometimes the Xbox doesn't auto detect changes in screen res. Make sure your Xbox is set to either auto detect or 1080p resolution

[grizzled whale]

An enemy is either going to capture or going to defend an objective

Killing them helps

[rotund cloak]

its in older games, this is just personal problem i have with game i cap with gpu settings anyways but it acts wierd with that, but i have crazy coil whine if i dont cap and its good to have anyways, i just know it wasnt there before so if its not can you guys add it :3

[slow terrace]

only here that after the update the game menus were without music?

[drifting lichen]

yikes, I crashed 2x in a row now back to back conquest matches

[naive trellis]

Closest to an FPS cap that I can see is the refresh rate option, hope that helps

[rotund cloak]

and coil whine only happens with 2042 not other games so idk i just need that cuz its annoying to hear while playing

[naive trellis]

Oh, you can limit your FPS in Nvidia's Control Panel, if you have a Nvidia GPU and you're hearing coil whine

[rotund cloak]

yea i did that but acts wierd

what i mean one main menu its sometimes uncapped than next menu its capped again

[naive trellis]

Did you use this option?
