battlefield-2042

[arctic grove]

S1 will bring a healthy dose of players back and that might get me called high on copium but the problem is just the lack of content, itll bring people back

[edgy oriole]

Totally didnt steal this kill

[arctic grove]

not 100k but definitely 5-10k+ on all platforms or at the very least combined across all platforms

I hope so.

[placid echo]

That's a really nice color scheme... for the neutral that is

[arctic grove]

sorry for probably coming off rude i just heard the 100k thing before and that was only the case after the game launched, but every game experiences drastic playercount dropoff after that

[barren crater]

SHIT TIER GAME

[arctic grove]

100k down to 10k in a matter of months? I think that shows there is a really bad problem. I just hope they can come back from it.

remember when i said i know who to blame for "SHIT TIER GAME" ?

[nova surge]

anyone notice that a lot of the portal weapons have new animations

[arctic grove]

the culprit has shown himself

[slim quiver]

I got used to your color scheme until I saw the kill information

[arctic grove]

well i think after a month it was still 30-40k but i understand what youre saying, the playercount went down the grand canyon for a lot of reasons

I wonder what the total number of players is across all platforms. I would think that if it was high it would be public and EA/Dice would be bragging.

That leads me to believe that it is not many.

i mean its definitely at least

like

5k

thats being suuuper generous to the trolls

steam isnt the main platform for battlefield games and i'd suspect that a lot of fps games are more popular on console anyway

[fossil fox]

So this game was a scam all along?

[arctic grove]

rework specialists (whatever that means tho)
place objectives differently to make maps overall more streamlined
S1 content

profit

quite possibly my biggest personal suggestion to the game, but concerning specialist customization

would be a universal skin that changes if youre on the US/RU team that gives you a more russian and or US soldier appearance while still being your specialist

[hearty flame]

Not quite no mans sky but 2042 subverted a lot of expectations id think

[arctic grove]

not to sound like a potential no mans sky troll but that game sounds cool with exploring different planets

is it worth?

[cedar turtle]

F12022 at $80 tells us everything we need to know about EA.

[arctic grove]

ah yes next gen game pricing

why are they 70$+ now tho

[hearty flame]

From what i hear its pretty great now. while they havent added everything they promised at launch, theyve added and expanded on a lot more.
if youre down for an entertaining history of it, internet historians got a great video about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5BJVO3PDeQ

[arctic grove]

him and crowbcat are s tier youtubers

[hearty flame]

top tier. though Ill be a little sad hes going back to shorter videos after the costa concordia but i understand. that video processing looks like hell

[copper fulcrum]

Sadly the whole get this, this, this and that to do one thing gets annoying. It can depend heavily on what type of planet you start out on

You need like 6 main resources to do basic shit, if it's rare on your planet, it'll be hard to even fucking take off

[hexed mango]

i played it a few months ago, was really fun, and all ive heard since is that its getting even better

[hearty flame]

would that all bad games could get that better

[hexed mango]

aka: ima wait 1 year for the next upload, literally

its sad cause he makes some of the best stuff, and its so scarce

[hearty flame]

haha ya but his incognito channel is pretty neat for random conversational podcast

[hexed mango]

yeah true, there's some i didnt love as much, but i loved a lot of them

[hearty flame]

and Id be lying if I wasnt kinda watching for his ad storyline lol

[hexed mango]

windows just stopped responding

i cant alt tab, or hit the windows buttton

[edgy oriole]

[hearty flame]

😟

[hexed mango]

restarting windows explorer didnt help

@edgy oriole ima restart my pc

[chilly oak]

it is soooooo overrated

[edgy oriole]

is windows doing this to us

[quaint bane]

Hi everybody) I have a birthday today. I like BF2042 and i think i know how to fix maps

[cedar turtle]

Happy birthday

[arctic grove]

happy birthday man

[quaint bane]

I think devs just need to give to comunity something like mission to drow on maps which parts of map gamers want to fill with buildings or just make something like competition for best concept of map

[quaint bane]

Thank you))))

[quaint bane]

Thank you

[arctic grove]

honestly imo for the map hourglass it has this concept art that looked a lot better than the in game result let me see if i can find it

[heavy sleet]

Jagshemash!

[quasi talon]

I can't join conquest at all, alwyas waiting for players

[quaint bane]

Sad

[willow sky]

something like community made maps would be a pretty cool thing especially for portal

[quaint bane]

I think they need to add map redactor to portal or custom servers

And something like friend pass for ney gamers

It means that if you have game, your friends can play with you for free. But without you they will need to pay

[chilly oak]

no way lol

[arctic grove]

cant find anything but subreddit hate

[chilly oak]

friend pass would decrease sales so much

[arctic grove]

but overall the map had a concept art of some sort, or something, that had overall denser building and other placement

[quaint bane]

I think there will be more new gamers and dice will have possibility to make something like market with cosmetic items like skins for weapons and for characters

[quaint bane]

Maybe i'll try to post my concept of some maps

[chilly oak]

nah, its not a free br to make its only income off skins, its a fully fledged out multiplayer £50 game

[quaint bane]

I like bf2042 and it will be sooo sad if it'll die

[chilly oak]

game pass would be a disaster, horrible from eas perspective

[arctic grove]

trust me it just needs S1 content and itll be good to go

[quaint bane]

I bought gold edition😋

[quaint bane]

Hmmmmmmmmm..... Thinking me

[chilly oak]

then people can hand out their friend pass code all over the internet so everyone gets free copies

[quaint bane]

No

[arctic grove]

april update fixed pc performance on certain rigs or maybe all, and may update will add more QoL, stability and bug fixes and updates just like april, and then it'll be good to start S1 content stream

people will actually be able to play and experience the content without annoying bugs

[chilly oak]

why wouldnt they

[quaint bane]

You can play free only if you play with somebody who bought game

[chilly oak]

how can you download the game in first place?

[compact sleet]

Let’s hope so 🤞🤞

[quaint bane]

Today tried to play, and weekly missions didn't load((( nice patch. I don't know what i need to do to get skin for sniper rifle. Thanks dice)

[arctic grove]

actually the bug is only making it so it doesnt appear in game, you can still complete the challenges to get the skin (check #direct-communication )

honestly i gave uo that challenge

[quaint bane]

Hmmmmmm. I didn' t think about it

[arctic grove]

it made me realise how broken and glitched rpgs are

[chilly oak]

exactly, flawed idea lol

[arctic grove]

"We're aware that the new Weekly Mission isn't visible for everyone in-game.

We're working on that.

Even if you can't see them, you can still progress towards the Challenges and unlock the reward ✅"

[compact sleet]

RPGs don’t do enough damage to infantry

[arctic grove]

so u will be fine, just look at the image online and do what it says and youll get it

[compact sleet]

It’s really easy

[quaint bane]

Thank you soo much.

[arctic grove]

sometimes ive shot an M5 right next to someone and it did nothing, but then again thats kind of a blessing in disguise because that would piss me off if i got rained on by C5s from the Manifest cargo thingies (near ship objectives)

[quaint bane]

Now i' m happy

[arctic grove]

np bro

[quaint bane]

I think good idea will be to add all weapons from portal to main game

[arctic grove]

hmm theyll probably suck ngl

[compact sleet]

Isn’t that like all the weapons ever?

[arctic grove]

i think 2042 guns behave way differently than portal ones too i could be wrong though

[quaint bane]

They have same mechanics)

[arctic grove]

[heavy sleet]

ANGEL DOES IT AGAIN!

[quaint bane]

Devs just need to press ctrl+c in portal and ctrl+v in conquest)

[compact sleet]

Too many weapons tho

[quaint bane]

In bf4 theere was many weapos and everybody was happy

Sorry for mistakes, just wanna sleep)

[clear quail]

we'll get some content in season 1 anyhow

[quaint bane]

Hope so

[arctic grove]

i think theres 6 guns per 1 season too

and 4 seasons total that dice legally has to put in game

[chilly oak]

thats just been leaked by the same guy who said that also said tsunamis, volcanoes and earthquakes will all come too....of course he took back the junk he said (all fake)

[arctic grove]

damn i always forget that thanks for the clarification, honestly those may still be a possibility

[chilly oak]

extra doubt, even he said nevermind they wont come

[arctic grove]

doesnt ridge have an earthquake? or is it just an earthquake that ended up making the ridge facility observable

[chilly oak]

idk im on about 2042

[arctic grove]

ye ridge is a datamined map

[chilly oak]

idk

[chilly oak]

if they do make another natural disaster like super cells, lightning/snow storms or hurricanes they will save it for the next battlefield

[copper fulcrum]

tmw someone sends you a 200-worded message because you shot them with a rocket launcher at like 300m away

[hazy sun]

benefits of playing on pc, dont get that shit

[copper fulcrum]

I admire the dedication though

[arctic grove]

At least you didn’t get shot from a parachute guy in a jet

[oak fable]

Persistent servers and server browsers added to this game imo would make it launch ready

[edgy oriole]

[arctic grove]

[edgy oriole]

dude my internet is perfect. even played a game of overwatch before i started installing my game. 2042 trippin today

[arctic grove]

Poopy field internet

[edgy oriole]

[arctic grove]

[iron blade]

Necondaa, ur paid by Dice, ask them when will the boris blast proof helmet come out

[edgy oriole]

tomorrow

[iron blade]

Aaaaahhhhh i want it badly

I own a Spetsnaz server and since its a Spetsnaz helmet, im frothing at the mouth for it

Do hope the ski mask underneath the helmet will get a color change, like a black instead of the more light grey color

[tepid agate]

Was just watching a YouTubers reviewing the bf2042 recent update patch notes and he came out with this line...

"After almost half a year, battlefield have decided to let you communicate with you squad by adding VOIP". This is like the Fast and the Furious saying "hey guys, were going to put cars in the franchise"

😂☠️

[iron blade]

Hey they arent wrong lol

[pliant knot]

So

[tall yew]

Ya because people used VOIP all the time in BF1 and V. LOL keep memeing tho

[iron blade]

I used it every now and then

[tall yew]

Ya you were the exception not the rule

[iron blade]

And it is kinda needed in team based gamemodes like hazard zone

[pliant knot]

I mean

[iron blade]

But HZ is dead anyway so it doesnt really matter lol

[pliant knot]

kinda stupid, to add specialists to enhance “teamwork” and remove VOIP

[iron blade]

Yeah

Idk, specialists have grown on me kinda. Just prefer classes still any day of the week

[pliant knot]

Ik a lot people put the blame on EA but come on DICE took a lot of the bad decisions about the game

[pliant knot]

I still don’t like them, tbh I prefer classes a thousand times more

[tepid agate]

I wonder how many people got fired for approving these decisions or ea will just take it as they rushed the project too much and it's not Dice' fault

[edgy oriole]

yeah specialist dont bother me but i wouldnt mind if they went back to classes

[pliant knot]

I think they’d run lucky if EA didn’t shut DICE off

[iron blade]

And idk i prefer playing a generic grunt than smth like angel

[tepid agate]

And ea tried to blame halo that there game was too well polished so it made theres look worse

[iron blade]

Thats why i always dress my specialists as the most generic soldiers of all time, nothing flashy, just a normal grunt

[pliant knot]

Only specialist I like is Dozer, but yea I prefer 100 times more the class and customization system BF5 had

You could choose a soldier and their clothes as well as it’s class, and the “role”

I think it was neat, maybe at the time it wasn’t t but compared to 2042 it looks like a masterpiece

[tepid agate]

They will add more specialists in the future

Bfv launch was full of "coming soon" icons in-game but a better launch than this

[iron blade]

They should’ve just did the bfv class roles, and those roles give a 3rd gadget slot that is the specialists abilities. And of course the specialist ability would be locked to its specific class

And add universal and restricted weapons types from bf4

And bam, u have the good parts of classes and the good parts of specialists

[hexed mango]

[hexed mango]

🤡

@edgy oriole we got one for the bingo less go

[iron blade]

Anyway, and if u want to play as a specialist is their current form, they can be a sorta elite like from bfv

[copper fulcrum]

Fun Fact, in BFV, SMGs were going to be a shared weapon type but then someone said no.

[iron blade]

Really? Huh

[hexed mango]

pov that someone:

[iron blade]

Never heard of that. Ya learn smth every day

[copper fulcrum]

It was like that in the Alpha iirc

[edgy oriole]

[iron blade]

I mean the idea and current form of universal weapons is pretty fun. Just worried that there are gonna be sorta meta builds later down the line

When more weapons are added

[edgy oriole]

the meta builds are now k30 pkp

[iron blade]

But of course ppl are entitled to their own opinions of specialists. Maybe if dice could not do era specific gun and gadget restrictions in portal conquest and whatnot ppl could do 2042 classes

Like have the bf3 classes have 2042 guns and gadgets appropriately restricted for each class and bam. U have fixed the issue of classes vs specialists

Specialists ppl have their way, and classes ppl have their way

[tepid agate]

I see 2042 now has a higher 24 hour peak on Steam than BF4 and BF1 so this update is moving them in the right direction

[iron blade]

Also is it just me, or are the weapons feeling kinda clanky. Idk their animations and whatnot feel pretty generic. Ig ive been spoiled with bf1 and mw19 weapon animations

[edgy oriole]

i mean the update bussin

[iron blade]

Just wondering why, i havent really played it yet

[edgy oriole]

feels better gameplay wise and they fixed the rest of the launch bugs.

[iron blade]

Adding voip and useable scoreboard at the end of round dont really seem that extraordinary. I suppose better stability and bug fixes make it better

[edgy oriole]

guns feel more alive now since the attachments actually do something too

[iron blade]

Yeah i liked that change

[edgy oriole]

bruh. there was over 400 bug fixes....

[tepid agate]

The update is definitely an improvement

[iron blade]

Ik i said that at the end

[edgy oriole]

ah i read the first part then looked at your reply when i was typing the message.

[iron blade]

Its ok

I heard from my friends on console that there are still issues like input lag. Not 100 sure tho, might just be banter

[edgy oriole]

idk i dont know anything about consoles

i know people arent used to the guns anymore bc they have some kick now

[arctic grove]

[iron blade]

Yeah. Im really interested to see what dice are referring to with the “specialist rework”.

But until then, ill be playing bf1 and waiting patiently for my damn Boris altyn helmet skin!

[edgy oriole]

[tepid agate]

The youruber said, after this new update I can now say battlefield is no longer a steaming pile of sht, it's now just a pile of sht 😄

He praised the big fixes. Just complaining more about how much money we had to pay for this game and got so much less content compared to previous entries

If it launched this way but was a free to play game then it could be accepted

[iron blade]

Yeah makes me wish dice simply delayed

[edgy oriole]

they reworked rao and paik and a lil bit of sundance. so stuff like that prolly

[tepid agate]

They wanted those Christmas sales though. Should have definitely delayed it

[arctic grove]

I really hope they dont nerf boris. They did my hover and bolte dirty already

[edgy oriole]

bruh if this game was free to play and it launched like it did nobody would be playing it

[iron blade]

Huh, if thats it then im slightly disappointed. But will be interested to see what they did

[arctic grove]

Apex legends was a dump when it launched and people still played it.

[edgy oriole]

yeah we never know tho. this game still has at the very least a year and a halfish of life left.

[hexed mango]

(400+ changes/fixes)

oh i saw rao and paik and thought 4.0

[tepid agate]

I think it would get as much hate. Actually bonwhere near as much hate if it released free lol

[iron blade]

Referring to smth else

[hexed mango]

they did, and it’s not up to them anyways

[iron blade]

I wonder what dice are cooking up for the next title. Ik im shooting myself in the foot but im intrigued to see what they will actually learn from 2042

[hexed mango]

bfmobile is the only think that’s even leaked to be in the works

[iron blade]

True, big daddy EA wants that green stuff

[tepid agate]

When I saw steam offering players refunds for their game I knew I had fallen victim to their advertisements lol

[iron blade]

Bf mobile looks unironically kinda cool

[hexed mango]

plus i would 100% rather get live service for 2042 than a new game for this to just repeat, game launch, people mad, people want new game, etc

[iron blade]

I kinda have my doubts 2042 will get much content

[tepid agate]

They need it to get revived

[hexed mango]

plus since 2042 has what it has, i think it’s more than the start for a base battlefield platform game that they build off of instead of making entire new games, moving 2042 to portal, for 7, 7 to portal for x, repeat. i think that would be infinitely better than a new game

[iron blade]

Ea might pull a bfv and pull the plug before the true strength of 2042 will be realized and harnessed

Ill still never forgive them for taking away my eastern front. Damn them!

[tepid agate]

Didn't they pull the plug to focus on 2042?

[hexed mango]

IF ea was smart, they would probably cut HZ (for now) give ripple and dice more time, and everything would be great

[edgy oriole]

possibly. but if they keep their idea of new battlefields every 2-3 years then there will be atleast another 2-3 seasons after year 1 is done.

[hexed mango]

of 1942?

[iron blade]

No bfv

Pretty much rn Enlisted is the only console ww2 game that has eastern front

[hexed mango]

is RU even in v at all

[iron blade]

Unfortunately no

Waiting patiently for hell let loose eastern front

And for them to fix their damn netcode

[hexed mango]

pavlov lel

i think it’s on ps iirc wait no maybe not

[iron blade]

It isnt

[hexed mango]

yeah i realized lol

[iron blade]

Yet, i think they are waiting for the psvr2 to come out

Enlisted slaps, the soldiers in that game are literally super soldiers

[hexed mango]

well it’s rooted in steam and using UE so idk it might be hard to remap for PS

[dire quest]

Enlisted is mostly ai tho

[iron blade]

Idk, the ps5 seems to run pc games fairly well. So we might see some pc titles come

[iron blade]

U have your fair amount of real players

[edgy oriole]

i played enlisted when you had to buy a soldier pack to play. i forgot if it was alpha or beta. but thats one of the last times i played.

[iron blade]

They fixed that

[hardy leaf]

same they learned from bf4 and bfv launches

[iron blade]

The grind is really hard, but its mostly not p2w

[tepid sable]

idk why people hate bf2042 lol its fun

[edgy oriole]

well it wasnt free at the time is what im saying.

[iron blade]

Yeah ik

[hardy leaf]

then keep having fun, dont bother about other people that have higher expectations & standards

[edgy oriole]

i did a clean boot of my pc and i havent reinstalled it. so idk what they doing rn.

[tepid agate]

People have high expectations for the game compared to previous games and how much we had to pay.

[iron blade]

If ppl have fun with 2042, then more power to em. Glad to see ppl enjoy it

[edgy oriole]

[tepid agate]

I still play once a week so not like I have lost hope and uninstalled it

[edgy oriole]

i also only play on weekly resets

[iron blade]

I play it like 2 hours per every 2 weeks

[tepid agate]

Yeah that's when I play too

[tepid sable]

Sometimes i get scared playing battlefield when i get shot

[edgy oriole]

i started doing that on preeseason 3 i think. i didnt want to burn myself out before szn 1 hits

[chilly oak]

I play everyday lol

[hexed mango]

you should do what i do and play sky walker saga every other week :)

[iron blade]

In bf1 if ur squad leader gets killed. Squad members around u actually freak out because they have lost their leadership. I want to see more of that in bf2042

[edgy oriole]

when i first took a break i started to 100% spyro trilogy

[tepid agate]

When any character can have any gadget they no longer have to worry about sticking with a squad for resources. They just run off doing their own thing

[chilly oak]

Skywalker saga is so meh, so repetitive, weird camera places, all characters are the same (for example, ep3 sidious plays exactly like ep5 luke)

[iron blade]

Yeah lol

[chilly oak]

Its not like someone has ammo and med boxes for example, so no not really

[edgy oriole]

id never freak out bc a squad lead died. thats some nerdy ass milsim shit

[iron blade]

Wish the squad leader had more perks than just giving orders

[fossil trench]

Is random bullet deviation a thing?

[tepid agate]

When half the server is full of angel they have armor, unlimited supply of weapons

[fossil trench]

Like wtf is with the bullets

[edgy oriole]

are you sure you play once a week

[iron blade]

So wish the characters had better reactions to whats going on around them. Like sometimes when enemies move up on your location or enemies advance on a sector in ops, the soldiers in bf1 will start screaming and panicking that “they are coming they are coming!”

[tepid agate]

Yup. I played more at launch. I think I am at SL122 but for the last month or 2 just once a week

[tepid sable]

i like sundance she is probably one of the best operators

[iron blade]

Even had a soldier comment on my headshot on a soldier in bf1 “GREAT SHOT SON!” In a mighty rich br’ish accent

[edgy oriole]

i havent seen a full lobby of angels in a couple months. everyone been sundance as of late.

[chilly oak]

Its called bloom, make sure your using weapons for their range with suitable scopes, you can lessen bloom through attachments that say +weapon accuracy

[tepid agate]

No not a full lobby I think around half the server has angels

[tribal obsidian]

When will people realize that the best specialist remains casper

[chilly oak]

Everyone's boris in my lobbies

[edgy oriole]

I remember when game launched and youd have to spam in chat for 1 of the 54 angels to drop a supply crate

[tepid agate]

Because of angels perks

He can hold armor plates, a medical crate, ammo crate, and rocket launchers

[arctic grove]

I still do this 😫

[tepid agate]

Like I say, if the round ends and you do not see angel appear, remember the time and date. Indulge in that sweet moment because they are very rare

[edgy oriole]

im also still waiting for the lobbies that has the 64 player rocket launcher. i get too many where it feels like im the only one

[chilly oak]

I use c5

Gotta get up close and personal with those tanks to really sort them out

[tepid agate]

I actually have to use angel now because he is 1 of 5 specialists I have yet to get to mastery

Just a goal when I play

[edgy oriole]

ive t1 all defense/supports. once i started playing assault heros i got bored af then gave up on that. now i main falck

[tepid agate]

I have Sundance, macky, dozer, angel and Falck left

[chilly oak]

Assaults are fun tho

Why you calling them heroes

[edgy oriole]

assault feel like they do nothing tho. i like feeling useful

[arctic grove]

bf2042 is a hero shooter

[chilly oak]

I haven't even tier 1 one soldier, just the m5 gun

[edgy oriole]

heros faster to spell than specialist

[chilly oak]

Far from it

[edgy oriole]

i switch between hero and elites. just depends on the sentence im typing.

[chilly oak]

In that case normal bf are hero shooters because the classes have exclusive gadgets (abilities)

[arctic grove]

ok fair but dice did say the next bf was planned as one. Unless they changed their mind

[chilly oak]

They didn't, tom did

And he also said they scrapped that

[chilly oak]

Makes no sense when people call specialists heroes imo

[subtle birch]

Why do you guys play this game?

[tepid agate]

Try to have a guess what their new specialist will be able to do in the future which non can currently do...

I reckon one will put a device in the ground to dig 100m tunnels

[arctic grove]

good ol tom. Time will tell what exactly dice will plan in the next battlefield.

[edgy oriole]

its fun

[chilly oak]

War simulator

[subtle birch]

Probably not

[edgy oriole]

we dont know anything about next battlefield. we just know specialist are staying in this one.

[tepid agate]

Or once specialist will be like magneto

[subtle birch]

No

[white geyser]

Maybe they should add a specialist who is similar to Aden Pierce from watch dog

[chilly oak]

2042 has been my first purchased bf, so I don't mind if we go back to ww2 unlike majority who like modern, but then again I like modern more

[edgy oriole]

rao

[tepid agate]

They won't announce the next type of battlefield game until the try their best to sell us these specialists.

If they say the next one is a hero shooter this early they will kill the new game.

They will work hard to win us over before announcing the new one

[chilly oak]

It literally is

[chilly oak]

It won't be a hero shooter bruh

[tepid agate]

What does that person do?

[subtle birch]

Then it’s probably the worst one out there

[chilly oak]

That is not battlefield at that point

[tepid agate]

I hope it isn't!

They are chasing trends though

[chilly oak]

It literally won't tom contradicts half the stuff he says about battlefield

[chilly oak]

I think they learned their lesson, don't you think?

[white geyser]

He's the hacker like Aiden, hack your vehicle temporally and other shit

[chilly oak]

No

[tepid agate]

Can't the Indian one already do that?

[chilly oak]

Yes

[tepid agate]

I still think they look at the money trends potential and hope for us to buy into it

[chilly oak]

They will either make a sequel to 2042 if they end up "redeeming" it or make a soft reboot imo

[tepid agate]

This is also why they don't have anything to purchase in the store recently. They need to tred very lightly, and lightly they will

[white geyser]

I think that's Rao

[tepid agate]

I think they have a studio dedicating to telling the story to this war on the brink

Just keep polishing those buildings and making it look so beautiful

[white geyser]

Rao's hacking skills, if only it's similar to Aiden Pearce, because his hacking skills hacks instantly not like Rao

[tepid agate]

I think nobody would use Rao if a new specialist could hack instantly lol

[smoky seal]

So...just reinstalled, haven't played since launch. Ten tries, ten games "waiting for 29 players". Both 2042 and Portal. Did I miss a step?

[chilly oak]

Its 440 am for me

[tepid agate]

Maybe they give one like to Korean women. Instead of having a short time wall hack, they give you 2x as long but you have thermals on

[smoky seal]

it's 1036 US Central.

[dire quest]

Turn on crossplay

[smoky seal]

General settings?

[chilly oak]

Probably

[dire quest]

Not sure

[smoky seal]

good lord...didn't want to buy into all the negativity, but sheesh.

[tepid agate]

Welcome to the party 😄

[dire quest]

Games still alot of fun

[tepid agate]

They player base has increased a little since the update so should be easier to find 🤔

[chilly oak]

When it doesn't lag while I'm skydiving so I smash into the ground, is when it's fun

[chilly oak]

Funnily enough, before the update i got into a match in a second now it like 5 seconds

[edgy oriole]

i have been seeing people talk about 31 players today and yesterday. idk what that is. 1 dude said he restarted the game and it fixed.

[tepid agate]

That's odd 🤔 player number from steam went up by 2-3% since this update

[edgy oriole]

another matchmaking bug

[tepid agate]

They went from 1000 player peak to 3-4k

[chilly oak]

Dice has bugs like assassin squad or 31 player bug which makes it seem like their game is dead

[mild crystal]

Hi

[chilly oak]

Then reddit complains

[hazy sun]

been seeing a ton of console players pop up in my matches

[mild crystal]

Hows 2042

[chilly oak]

Good, could be better

[tepid agate]

Yeah they must have came back to see how elevated it became

[edgy oriole]

I remember when they "fixed" servers on december 18th and broke their servers then had a free weekend. it was rough to tell all the noobs dice messed the servers up before holiday

[tepid agate]

If steam had an all-time peak of 100,000 players

Try not to look at the negative of them losing 99% of the base because it dropped to 1000 player peaks

This update really has made more come back with the 2-3% increase. Adding more content in the future I'm sure the % will rise more

[tepid agate]

Don't complain. We can't have brutal expectations as they say 😄

[edgy oriole]

well i thought the servers were fine before they did that. idk what they did, but it wasnt it.

[radiant prism]

I mean, Halo had the same level of drop. Its not entirely uncommon for games to naturally lose a large proportion of their playerbase

[tepid agate]

Exactly. So we don't need to focus on those negatives. The update is an improvement

[mild crystal]

Have they added voice chat yet

[hazy sun]

yea

[arctic grove]

that update definitely is a major improvement to the overall quality of the game, yeah theres some new bugs but it is what it is, happens

ive always enjoyed the game but sheesh that update was spot on

[tepid agate]

Well, they are so far showed they are learning from there mistake. Hope they keep it up!

[arctic grove]

im sure what can be done will be done, april update proved theres actual effort behind this

[radiant prism]

Yep, once DICE gets their feet under them things get good. Par for the course

[tepid agate]

I've also learnt my lesson not to preorder anymore and wait for reviews. Should have learned from bfV but got sucked into this.

They need to really hit the ball out the park with their season 1 update coming.

[arctic grove]

we'll see whats up in may or some time in summer before S1 if they release a roadmap for it

[mild crystal]

Whats new with the update, can i have a detailed description

[tepid agate]

They probably have a navel update planned for some season

[arctic grove]

like 470 patchnotes and 50+ ghost changes

ill give you links for both

[mild crystal]

[arctic grove]

"#73 soldiers and their weapons are now: wet,dirty from sand and mud if soldier crawls or is affected by these terrains."

this is a subtle but really nice one since this attention to detail should just be implemented on the jump in fps games

np

[tepid agate]

Sometimes I feel it's a tactical plan not to give us everything we want at the start. They roll them out in updates to try get us excited again

[hexed mango]

yeah there's a lot of subtle detail ones that are really neat, probably not included in the 4.0 patch notes because they were most likely in the works for 3.3 but not pushed

[tepid agate]

Hopefully, the decisions to not implement VIOP, scoreboards and these attention bto details is not because they have ran out of ideas for what to add to the game down the line. I hope this really was just a mistake.

[arctic grove]

i wouldnt doubt it corporations are good at sometimes playing like this

[hexed mango]

what

[tepid agate]

Even bf4 had navel vechiles at launch. They put it in loading screen. Maybe not giving it is at the start for this reason too

[hexed mango]

1. you mean voip

2. they werent

3. its not "running out of ideas" its them trying to do something original, being then shot down immediately by fans, and then not knowing what to do because other people cant decide

[hexed mango]

you know what else bf4 had?
bugs. a lot. i wonder if there's a correlation...

also *naval vehicles

[tepid agate]

I always heard of the disasters of BF4 launch but never experienced because I purchased it a year after launch

[arctic grove]

i didnt purchase bf4 till like 2015 lol

[tepid agate]

Oh, I know I've touched a nerve when my grammar is being corrected 😄 sorry sir

[hexed mango]

i do that to everyone

[tepid agate]

I think I ended up biy 3 copies of that 😂

[hexed mango]

yeah so dont start referencing its launch as if you have lol

[tepid agate]

I was saying what vehicles they had that is all

[hexed mango]

if you can find that its not to hard to also find the bugs it had

[tepid agate]

You don't have any feeling that they would purposely leave stuff out because it will give them stuff to add and raise our interests in the future?

[hexed mango]

https://youtu.be/RApJo0OLfNY
for example lol this one is actually lowkey cool ngl

[hexed mango]

no

[tepid agate]

Even my friend was trying to ask me which fps in history has no scoreboard

[hexed mango]

there was always a scoreboard in this game.

[tepid agate]

Like I say I hope it's not because they don't have enough depth to add to this future. I hope it's just a mistake

[arctic grove]

they just didnt want competition or toxicity at first

[tepid agate]

They got all of that 😂

[arctic grove]

they probably wanted the game to be casual player friendly

[hexed mango]

i mean at launch they really didnt. it was focused on squad play for ranking on the scoreboard.

which i personally loved. it needed work, sure, but it was a neat idea and i liked where it was going

[light ridge]

I see a joystick menu now in bf2042

but it still doesn't seem to detect anything

[tepid agate]

Like, what do you think they meant by saying "we are ahead of schedule" ?

[lyric solar]

Just noticed the menus changed a bit in update 4.0 aswell

[arctic grove]

as for "we are ahead of schedule" im not sure, that one stumps me

[wide shore]

Man, very few things feel better than this.

[hexed mango]

Great list, gave me a refresher as well! Some of those things were actually fixed quite some time ago on our side but they didn't make it to any patches until today for a variety of reasons that would be probably a bit difficult to explain here! Same difficult to explain reasons why sometimes there are changes that we don't capture in the notes. Happy to see that the changes are positive :)

Comment from a dice gameplay designer on that post

[tepid agate]

They only way I think they could make the game worse is if they just abandoned it. There's a lot of changes to make it better. I am hopeful every update will come with praise. They are learning

[radiant prism]

So this list puts us close to what, 550 changes? 456 listed, plus 80+ unlisted?

[arctic grove]

yes, very good amount of changes

[arctic grove]

nah dont worry about that, if they did that that would amount to a lawsuit

[lyric solar]

Like why did they add mountains in the background of the main menu (press x screen) now, and remove the ambiance music?

[light ridge]

anyone play with a joystick?

[hexed mango]

youtube comments are as bad as reddit rn @edgy oriole

[arctic grove]

2nd thing is probably a glitch. as for the mountains thats either breakaway or possibly a hint at another arctic setting map

[radiant prism]

Music is definitely a glitch, I’ve heard the “entering match music” while leaving a match a number of times now

[hexed mango]

its most likely breakaway, just makes sense. maybe they'll change it once in a while to act as if the exodus is doing what its doing and travelling the globe

[tepid agate]

They even lured people in for their $100 packages with so little content and a lot of bugs at launch. Those Christmas sales must have helped cover their new years Eve party!

[hexed mango]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yq6TdN7GMY
@edgy oriole

[arctic grove]

thats a nice idea

[edgy oriole]

im sure the youtube and reddit people are the same. idk tho bc i dont watch anything battlefield related.

[hexed mango]

"a full proof"
only shows 1/2 gamemodes of portal

[arctic grove]

ok now youre slowly morphing into a troll

it was hard to tell at first

[tepid agate]

No for real. I was lured into paying the $60 version I think

[hexed mango]

well i wouldnt call it lure cause it literally says in the thing "Year 1 Pass" you get it with the full knowledge that it will be a future pass 🧠🔨

[tepid agate]

Just a side joke

[hexed mango]

that's base.

[edgy oriole]

so his proof is playing portal by himself?

[hexed mango]

and if you're defense for spending money is that it was a "lure"
then tell that to your past self and maybe stop spending money on stuff that you know is a "lure"
or, get a job and get over it.

[tepid agate]

Do you think they purposely skipped naval at the start because of the BF4 launch bugs?

[hexed mango]

[arctic grove]

no there just wasnt a primarily naval/amphibious map on launch

[tepid agate]

Like I said I have learnt my lesson now

[edgy oriole]

one day battlefield will include naval i can taste it.

[hexed mango]

i mean there are already 2 naval vehicles in 2042

[lyric solar]

Ah okay, because I kinda liked the music in the menus. And that’s a cool idea that the mountains could be a hint

[tepid agate]

Yeah this is why I wonder about the teaser in the loading screen. Must be a future season pass for sure

[edgy oriole]

wait whats the 2nd one

[hexed mango]

mav and lcaa both float

:)

[edgy oriole]

[tepid agate]

Cant dozer float too?

[hexed mango]

who

[tepid agate]

Dozer

[hexed mango]

cares

[copper fulcrum]

I think that got patched

[tepid agate]

Oh, I saw the videos but never got a chance to try.

[hexed mango]

what didnt get patched?

||reddit trolls||

[edgy oriole]

i sleep now

[copper fulcrum]

Earlier I terminated someone. idk with what, the kill log just said "Terminated" lol

[tepid agate]

Dozer could float and fly

[radiant prism]

I remember knifing the water could make you fly at one point, I did it in portal once

[copper fulcrum]

Apparently, that was only client side

[hexed mango]

@arctic grove what were the troll things you came up with earlier

[tawdry shoal]

i cant look left or right how do i fix?

[copper fulcrum]

Set mouse settings to default

[tawdry shoal]

i have tried that i remember i had to change something in documents

[tepid agate]

Still works? Lol

[arctic grove]

Update when? Content?

[hexed mango]

yeah that happens sometimes lol usually when you are appointed a kill but there is no weapon source

[tawdry shoal]

oh are you talking about the ladder glitch?

[hexed mango]

i really really really want Ripple Effect to make a full code API for portal instead of block code

[copper fulcrum]

I think I landed on someone and killed them

like fuckin' Mario

[hexed mango]

nice hops

[copper fulcrum]

Except it was with a wingsuit going at like 100mph

[tepid agate]

Maybe this stuff could really happen in 20 years. Gravity is messed up

[wide shore]

I’m really glad they took out the mustard gas from the fire suppressant.

[copper fulcrum]

No, our uniforms just got better

[copper fulcrum]

How's performance on your end after the update?

[wide shore]

Series X still gets insane frame drops seemingly at random.

I’d like to say it’s caused by the weather. But sometimes it happens when there isn’t anything. So

But everything else in the patch is awesome.

[sage eagle]

I still have problem getting off the vehicle

it's not fixed

[hard plume]

Shouldve went with the ps5

[wide shore]

I play third party titles on Xbox. I want a PS5, and intend to get one when I can. But I like the UI better and all my friends are on Xbox.

It was an easy choice for me.

[hazy sun]

probably wont play bf on my ps5, but il definitely be using it more once that VRR patch hits

[bitter skiff]

Whats goin on y'all?

[arctic grove]

[wanton magnet]

Best build for mcs-880 shotty?

[sage eagle]

who likes Elsa Jean

[pulsar vine]

Just watched my friend by the $90 ultimate edition 💀

[sage eagle]

[pulsar vine]

[copper fulcrum]

Try the Flechette rounds

[lyric solar]

Yeah it’s definitely a glitch the music in matches don’t even play lol

[copper fulcrum]

Did I already comment on the amount of protogens lately?

[tepid sable]

One round of bf2042 is just chaos

[arctic grove]

Has @grizzled whale checked in today?

[copper fulcrum]

Battlefield has always been pretty chaotic

2042 is just a circus of cataclysm

[hexed mango]

ty

[arctic grove]

[hexed mango]

ok
https://2042-bingo.echology.repl.co/

added some functionality to the website, we have a save button which saves it to an image, and a suggestions thing which is a little wonky and ill probably end up removing it but whatever for now

buttons + clicking works, the free button in the center has been restyled to match bf2042 colors and remove FREE text to look better

meanwhile ima input some more stuff into the cards

[wanton magnet]

Thanks

[hexed mango]

also im cool so now the website is: https://2042.bingo.echology.page

"We've heard your feedback on the EoR voice lines, and it's something we're actively reviewing. Expect changes to the Style and Tone of them in a future update."

[tepid agate]

I always completed the battlefield campaigns, although my main focus and interest was the multiplayer.

Was there a reason why 2042 didn't release with campaign?

Was it because of the covid situation and not enough time to make one before launch?

[hexed mango]

noticed weird tweak when jumping

[scenic tartan]

The game was already rushed and the campaigns were not usually that well recieved

[hexed mango]

• advertised / sold as online only

[tepid agate]

👍

[hexed mango]

only good campaign ea made was swbf2 :)

[tepid agate]

https://twitter.com/DanielWootton6/status/1465558366869422081?t=1tNfNT99ql0pjYH5kgm01w&s=19

This is my most unluckiest driving ever.

Just happened to clip the capture objective flag and it just happened to swing me into explosive cannisters.

[scenic tartan]

The BF4 Easy campaign completion trophy is at 28% after being out for such a long time

BF1 Complete the campaign on normal difficulty is 12.8% of players

[tepid agate]

I remember having to complete the last missions multiple times to sacrifice different characters lol

[scenic tartan]

and 10% for completing the campaign on BFV

so i guess when you have so few players playing through a campaign thats only a few hours long and it takes so much money and time to do it well its just not worth it

[tepid agate]

I never had interest to go back and do a missions because it was like, so captivated but I always did it once. Obviously multiplayer is where the focus is at.

I just saw trailers for Godzilla and king Kong going into warzone 👀 I think player numbers may drop more here to go experiment there but I hope they can rising here

Them adding Easter eggs and larger creatures, I always got that vibe with battlefields

[hexed mango]

weekly legendary changes the scopeo (only raven 4x)

[white geyser]

Godzilla and Kong in the middle of the warzone map and the players gonna get stomp by this two titans.

[copper fulcrum]

Who wins a Battle Royale when Godzilla and King Kong are in the map? None of the players, it's one of those two.

[white geyser]

Just like in the movie, I bet godzilla to win

[upbeat sand]

the new skin is best weapon skin ive seen

[copper fulcrum]

Didn't the movie end with neither of them winning and they just walk away from each other?

[hexed mango]

they team up and fightt mecha

[white geyser]

Yeah

[hexed mango]

cause thats what superheroes do i mean super animals or smth idfk

[white geyser]

They forgot to add mecha godzilla

[hexed mango]

no there was a mecha

[tepid agate]

Seems pretty cool lol maybe when 2042 is fixed more they will add some weekly events like this in portal

[hexed mango]

https://tenor.com/bDQat.gif

[white geyser]

Not the movie, I mean for the warzone

[hexed mango]

oOOH
lel

[tepid agate]

Or maybe when 2042 gets its naval update, the put a live megalodon in the water that swims around the whole map and tears up anything near it in the water

[upbeat sand]

the weekly mission isnt appearing on the right of the matchmaking screen, how do i check my objectives

[tepid agate]

Get 5 ribbons

20 kills/ assists with snipers

Spot 50 enemies

[upbeat sand]

thanks

[tepid agate]

I haven't even done it yet myself just saw it in a video yesterday 😄 I'll find some time for it on Monday

[white geyser]

Ever since titan mode appeared in BF 2142, they should bring it back

[tepid agate]

Titan mode?

Oh I never played that game before. Was before I got into battlefield 😅

[white geyser]

Titan is a game mode featured in Battlefield 2142. The main objective in Titan is to destroy the opposing team's Titan. A re-imagined variant of this mode, called Carrier Assault, is featured Battlefield 4: Naval Strike.

[tepid agate]

With all the dinosaur history. Maybe we will get a dinosaur roaming around in the middle of a jungle

[tepid agate]

Hmm sounds interesting.

Maybe in the season 2 something like that can integrate in here

I don't expect season 2 to take 8 months after season 1 because they have had a lot to fix with this game. Maybe a 3 month estimate depending how season 1 is received 🤔

[white geyser]

1942, 2042, but 2142 is missing, so DICE please that game in the portal.

[tepid agate]

I'm not sure they will add more older games to portal. They will be trying to repair Warfare mode to try sooth the specialists over with many of the community.

[jade merlin]

What are the best settings for more fps now on the new update

I haven't seen a single fps improvement yet

It's worse actually

[upbeat sand]

PC SPECS what

[jade merlin]

Lmao 1050ti Ryzen 3 2300

Can believe I can play this thing

[upbeat sand]

shit pc

[arctic grove]

EA/Dice said just don't jump and it will be gone.

[upbeat sand]

and also low is best

[upbeat sand]

i think the minimum specs are for 720p, 30fps

[grizzled whale]

Reporting for shilling sir!

[grizzled whale]

Im still waiting for my orders

[errant yew]

why my weekly mission progress screen not showing up in AOW main menu

[ripe hedge]

woooooooow what weapon / scope combination is that???

[low timber]

SWS-10 with 4x scope

[tepid agate]

Just another bug to the collection.

You must get 5 ribbons, 20 kills/assists with snipers, and 50 spots

[ripe hedge]

wth the new skin right?

[low timber]

Yes

[merry lance]

GN

[safe verge]

So is this the battlefield 1 chat again

We ought to quit this game and go back. Come on fellas

https://tenor.com/view/battlefield1-gif-22227230

[grizzled whale]

I still pissed that they made the coolest scope skin for the worst sniper scope in the game

[arctic grove]

Yeah fuck that

[scenic tartan]

no

[white geyser]

Noo, I'm done WW history

[sacred wave]

spot enemies not working ?

[errant yew]

haha, i just back to the skin the will quit again

[upbeat sand]

the only 3 populated servers at my location are all by this shit talk toxic platoon who has hentl on their banners so no

who just wait in spawn just to have 1 bomber plane

[lament plank]

So can anyone confirm if the attack heli reticle thing is a bug? My reticle keeps going down into the console

[dusky magnet]

btw did you check that scope ingame? its broken xd

[grizzled whale]

Is it?

[dusky magnet]

yep just try it, its very weird

[low timber]

Here is a pic of the scope while aimed.

[grizzled whale]

The 4x sucks so i aint using it

[low timber]

I only use it sometimes because it doesn’t give a sniper glint, actually, they probably should add a

• sniper glint
  To those high magnification scopes that do give that glint, would help newcomers to know that that’s why they were spotted

[keen steeple]

anyway battlebit better

[flat brook]

2042 is the greatest battlefield game ever made

#WeStandWith2042

[silk surge]

Finally something that isn't a winter skin lmao. This one looks pretty dope

[dusky blade]

Nah

[low timber]

You even unlocked special ammo for that SWS-10

[jolly sleet]

yeah

[quaint bane]

Heh

[umbral island]

Dead chat

[lyric locust]

anyone else got problem with seeing weekly assigment?

[mossy badge]

Which one is the greatest ?

[fervent grotto]

Almost everyone

[undone bone]

Tis a very nice color, bland skin though imo. Not something I'd classify as a legendary cosmetic personally.

[dusky blade]

Cosmetics shouldn’t even have ratings

[jovial elbow]

This one in the chamber is actually a lot of fun

rewarding af

[lyric atlas]

why do people hate bf2042 so much

[radiant osprey]

If specialists are gonna get reworked start with dozer

[jovial elbow]

i dont

[radiant osprey]

Having a blast shield in 50 miles square maps with tanks being airdropped spammed and only 2 buildings is not gonna work

[lyric atlas]

ya but a lot of people do

[jovial elbow]

this new mode is FIRE

[lyric atlas]

part of me thinks a great deal of the hate is essentially just bandwagon, but then again, the game severely lacks of destruction and map design grounds, so probably a majority of the hate is warranted

[next onyx]

Game has a lot of issues, From its maps to general balance, bugs and questionable decisions.

People follow they hate wagon as much they follow the hype wagon.

So that's one thing too.

[lyric atlas]

so many people cant think for themselves, it's crazy

[next onyx]

I am not the biggest fan of things in this game, But honestly I just stopped acting like a child and shut the fuck up, Moving onto other games.

[arctic grove]

when battlefield 2014 good

baddlefield always good gilbu @arctic grove
o

[next onyx]

A lot hoped a lot out of this game too.

Just too bad what we got wasn't the best thing in the world.

[arctic grove]

why mod role color change @next onyx

[lyric atlas]

that E3 thing where they showed that whole ass building collapsing got people super hyped

[next onyx]

Oh the little tech test?

[lyric atlas]

and yet in the actual game, nothing of the sort even remotely happens

[next onyx]

Eh it's blue.

Yeah.

I dunno, I just feel like this game would have gone better if the maps weren't so bad???

[arctic grove]

repub if you were here when the colors were orange
be honest who has been in this server since 2009

[undone bone]

Specialists should've had gadgets locked to specialist classes since launch too. (Even though I think they started categorized specialists by class sometime after launch)

[next onyx]

If the maps weren't like this, People could have focused on other aspects better in my opinion.

I don't think locking gadgets to specialists would have helped the game in my opinion.

Could have worsened it.

[lyric atlas]

probably worsened it considering people just seem to hate the fact they have to pick a dude to do something

[next onyx]

I have no bias towards particular classes, But if assault got all the anti vehicle gadgets. It would have made all the others worse off.

[lyric atlas]

is the "bf2042 was originally a BR" thought confirmed?

because it makes a lot of sense and basically explains why it seems so shallow

[jovial elbow]

waiting untill Jack makes a video from this one in the chamber

[lyric atlas]

this game essentially served as a desperate cash-grab when they realized they couldnt make a BR, hoping they could make money so that they could (ideally) focus on the next one

or so it seems to me...

[next onyx]

Honestly people would say "Durr no evidence" but considering how the maps were built and that, It feels like the scrap from that.

That makes sense doesn't it.

[lyric atlas]

yeah, and the lack of destruction also makes sense given the theory

they meant for the maps to be walked around, not fought in anywhere in particular. also explains why nowhere feels like it's designed for chokepoints or anything like that

i also figure that last gen consoles held back the game a bit

like they always do, those mfs....

[next onyx]

I'm not too concerned over specialists or destruction, I reckon they could be balanced and destruction wise, They could just bring a few more buildings in for the sake of cover and general sense.

[granite linden]

My chat is glitching ps5 keeps going 2 party and not squad ???????

[lyric atlas]

destruction is basically one of the most important things in battlefield games tho

and somehow they took steps back from bf5, which actually had good destruction

[next onyx]

I mean in 5 it kept the maps form but kept enough where it made a difference.

They really need to bring back the fortification system.

People say it's useless but in a way, You could rebuild objectives and keep them strong.

[lyric atlas]

fortification system was awesome

people think it's useless because they dont realize how important it is to get people to waste time/ammo blowing up the fortifications lest they get stuck going through a chokepoint

though maybe if supports gave ammo more often it wouldnt really be a problem

[next onyx]

To be honest, It was really easy to just jump over them but they gave objectives some form which made entrenched forces easier to defend.

It gave assaults and supports more power.

[lyric atlas]

well, not all of them could merely be jumped over. but yeah, if there were ones that could merely be jumped over, then that's kinda an implementation failure on the part of the devs

[next onyx]

I don't think it's all bad.

Cause if you have to mount over, The defenders have a massive advantage.

[flat brook]

we need to make #WeStandWitb2042 popular on Twitter

[fierce gull]

Spam the shit out of it

[lyric locust]

ok, any way to check what weekly task i have left? 😄

got two rewards, no idea what i have left

[grizzled whale]

Do you use casper or sensor nades?

[arctic grove]

It’s very lagging today somethink wrong

[compact sleet]

#direct-communication shows what you need to do you’ll just have to guess

[clear hull]

hey guys we should remove specialists in general for the 1074th time

do people actually not realize that MTX are here?????

and that it was advertised for gold/ultimate edition to have skins/battle pass with 1 new specialist

[gaunt swift]

I mean. They legally have to give 4 new specialists with 4 new battlepasses for 4 new seasons.

[gaunt swift]

Its been a day since they have mentioned they know of this problem. Surely it should have been fixed by now. How complex can it be lol

[clear hull]

am starting to think people are so clueless about how the game was designed around MTX

[tropic granite]

whats mtx mean

lmao

[craggy cliff]

I am fine with the specialists. You can set up fun/useful classes and be creative. The old system was nice, but I don't see the new system doing too much harm to the core identity of the game - which is, at least in my book, having fun on large scale maps with a lot of action. ^^ What I don't like, is that certain Specialists can get to places that others can't get to. But that's mainly a problem on maps like Manifest. Overall, after the attack vehicle spam reduction and addition of more spawnable vehicles, Conquest was fun for me (128 players/PC). It was far easier to get around the map, and defend/attack different points. Breakthrough needs some more balancing though. Having all the vehicles hovering over and driving around/through one or two objectives leads to horrible gameplay for the defenders where you die as soon as you spawn to explosives, miniguns, 50cals, you name it.

[flat brook]

you wrote an essay can you add a tldr

[tribal obsidian]

Nah

[dim blade]

Ok, i got to admit

BF2042 portal HC servers were fun somewhat. Even tho i was just murdering the poor AI most of the time

[craggy cliff]

Different generation, grew up with books, no mobile devices, writing letters. This the tldr version. 😉

[gaunt swift]

Yeah no we can read my guy. We just CBA

[gaunt swift]

Nah just the canadian.

[lament plank]

I’ll keep asking until I get an answer, have they confirmed that the attack heli reticle floating so deep into the air frame being a bug?

[radiant prism]

Yes, I believe so.

[lament plank]

Sure makes it hard to target things lol

[lyric locust]

I play Sundance almost exclusively

[grizzled whale]

do you use sensor nades?

[lyric locust]

yeah, spotted, is my guest 😄

[lyric locust]

no, sniper build uses EMPs, so spot is what i am missing like 99% sure

[grizzled whale]

yeah thats most likely it

[lament plank]

Also OPV drone nerfs are bullshit. People are shooting my drone down within seconds of me launching it

[grizzled whale]

was it nerfedd?

[lament plank]

Yeah it’s getting ripped apart now, and the range was cut in half

Like while moving someone was able to hit me with an M5

(Me being the drone)

[silk surge]

I found a completely broken setup for M5. Bravo 3X scope, LWG GRIP, Warhawk Compensator, and extended mag. I just got a 80-28 KD game with it, it's insane at med-range.

[lament plank]

No no, M5 like recoiless

[silk surge]

Prior to that I got 80-25... but there were a lot of AI in that one.

[lyric locust]

finally, C4 drones were such a bullshit. good ridance

[lyric locust]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew, 3x

[silk surge]

3x is dope at mid-range.

[lyric locust]

mixed sights are better, one with ACOG + red dot

[silk surge]

Especially with LWG grip. You're so accurate while moving now.

[lyric locust]

try using that one instead of solo 3x

[silk surge]

Worth a shot

[lyric locust]

i had long-ish range M5 build and short range build, that sight was very versatile

[karmic phoenix]

the game is nearly completely dead in the middle east bruh

only active mode is 128 player conquest

[lyric locust]

i mean have you seen the state of Doha? its mostly under sand, i imagine its very hard to get connectiong with battle going above your house, on a dune 😄 (this is joke btw)

[karmic phoenix]

i mean its skyscrapers for a reason 🤷‍♂️

[lyric locust]

lets be honest, they are there to serve as ramps for hovercraft 😄

[lament plank]

I mean you don’t need to nerf the range for that, just need to give it a bubble that doesn’t allow C5 to be placed on it?

[hexed mango]

weekly this week and 4x Raven

although you seemed to already figure it out by the looks of #direct-communication

less go i successfully did something in my life

[lyric locust]

if i recall corretly, rage was very large of drone pre nerf, from spawn you could cover 1-2 points in breakthrough

[lyric locust]

you've done plenty things successfully in your life, you grew up to be a magnificent person for one

[lyric atlas]

bruh...people probably read more today than your generation ever did

though probably not reading books, given

[hexed mango]

i read books, mainly cause school, but i do 📚

[lyric locust]

i wouldnt consider modern literature great to begin with, but yes, books are more accessible now than ever, cheaper too, and on many different formats. Personally i love chinese novels, they are cheesy AF, but fun too

[lament plank]

250-300m isn’t that far of a range for a drone, even commercial drones can cover 1000m now.

[lyric locust]

commercial drones can cover over 4 kms, but for game it would unbalanced

[lyric atlas]

also if you think about it, writing letters is basically what people do every picosecond on twitter

and here

[lyric locust]

also, if we were to go with real life, some launchers should ignore flares, as long as you keep lock on aircraft, flares doesnt automatically get rid of lock, if it is done manually and not by rocket it self

and with distances we have in BF, it should be near instant hit on real rocket speed

[lament plank]

I mean this drone doesn’t have flares, or can be locked onto. Sure full UAV systems you’d be right, but a handheld launched drone no. They broke the drone in a bad way when it wasn’t a problem

[lyric locust]

it was a problem, range was broken for sure, C5 was just cherry on the cake

sundance and granades in general need fix, they disappear after player who threw them dies

[lament plank]

Again, much simpler solution to stop C5 drones than nerfing it into the ground. A blanket nerf to fix one broken thing isn’t the way things should be done.

[lyric atlas]

oh did they fix the c5 drone bs?

i for one prefer to see it as a mistake, because the size of the drone didnt really...make it make sense

[lament plank]

Yes and no. I don’t think you can place it on the drone anymore. But they also gutted it’s range, and made it way easier to hit or less health so it just gets one shot.

[lyric locust]

no, drone was hit so hard, it fixed itself

[lament plank]

So they just killed it to stop C5 drones when there was a way simpler fix

[lyric atlas]

they could've made it so that the c5 would weigh the drone down or something, make it way harder to maneuver to avoid bullets

[tropic egret]

is even possible to use 4:3 in bf 2042?

[lyric locust]

or just c5 to explode and kill all friendlies in sight

[lyric atlas]

probably?

[lyric locust]

😄

[lament plank]

Yeah there was way better solutions than what they did. Almost like if they asked for feedback about such things before doing them to see what solutions people would like to see

[lyric atlas]

are you in the game and cant do it?

[arctic grove]

Drone needed some nerf though it was annoying to deal with

[lyric atlas]

it wasnt even really annoying, it was completely broken

[tropic egret]

no option xD

[lyric atlas]

all it took to beat any vehicle was to use the drone. there was almost no counterplay

[lyric locust]

Bolte is less annoying as well

[lament plank]

If you take out the C5 stuff, there was nothing broken about it. Lol anyone with a 2x and the awareness could shoot it down.

[arctic grove]

All that needs to be nerfed is air vehicles

They just need less health most likely

[lament plank]

Again, way easier to just make it so C5 can’t be placed on it at all. Give it a little bubble for item placement

[tropic egret]

forget it XD

[upbeat sand]

Really only way to get exploded by a c5 drone was to stand still doing nothing and camp in 1 spot

[arctic grove]

Idk cause then that's a hit box kind of thing and that could break the c5 and the drone as a whole ans then they will disable it etc

[lyric atlas]

wat

[upbeat sand]

Well basically but eh idk

[lyric atlas]

or just not know the tiny little thing is coming and then explode spontaneously

the only way you could avoid it is by assuming it's constantly coming. and even then, i dunno if you can even outrun them

[upbeat sand]

It's easy to see

Pretty noticable

[lyric atlas]

m...maybe?

[upbeat sand]

I just have good eyes then

[lyric atlas]

that's like saying a bird is easy to see. i mean....yeah sometimes, but in a game like battlefield, you arent going to see all the birds flying around

yes yes, good eyes, even though it has nothing to do with your eyes at all

[upbeat sand]

Alright

[lyric atlas]

they're small, and no one is going to notice a few pixels moving around in the heat of battle

plus, they'll often come from behind buildings or dunes or whatever the heck

plus, once you see it, how are you even going to deal with it? i dont recall tanks being able to outrun it

[upbeat sand]

Guess it's just a me thing cause whenever i get into tanks I just rush them into everyone

[ionic tulip]

You can shoot it

[edgy oriole]

it is true. if a vehicle spots a drone and just drives off the drone is too slow to catch up with vehicles. thats what i used my c5 drone on. out of bounds camping vehicles. and nobody notices drones bc the number 1 gamer weakness is looking up

[lyric atlas]

you can try to shoot it, but it's so small and can move like a lunatic even with 4 c5's on it, and once it gets too high up, you're done for

[lament plank]

I mean on a technical aspect yeah that might be hard. Could always just make it so if the C5 is on drone it won’t take off

[upbeat sand]

Hold W and shift until it goes away

[arctic grove]

Or the drone breaks?

[lyric atlas]

i mean, it's probably in front of you, so what you're saying is suicide

[ionic tulip]

Then turn

[upbeat sand]

Drone kamikaze

[lyric atlas]

most of the time, you'll need to reverse or turn, and then you're dead

because reversing isnt as fast as going forward, and turning is basically like holding still for a second

[upbeat sand]

Dont wanna get c5 droned just keep moving and don't stop

[ionic tulip]

If your driving right at it there’s a good chance their timing isn’t good enough to get you

[lyric atlas]

nah i dont need to get c5 droned anymore b ecause they fixed the bad game design lol

[ionic tulip]

It’s not even that bad

[lyric atlas]

too bad everyone disagrees and even the devs acted on it

[ionic tulip]

You can do max of 2 per life

[lyric atlas]

but you can die and respawn in like 6 seconds

[little dust]

anyone else hate the scope on the new sws skin? outside visuals are nice but actually using it is kinda ass

[ionic tulip]

You can do the same with almost everything in the game

[lyric atlas]

but most of them cant one shot you and arent tiny

[edgy oriole]

bc its bugged

[upbeat sand]

C5 drone is a really good anti tank weapon while just c5 you cant get close enough and m5 rpg does to little damage to take it down by yourself

[lyric atlas]

what they should do is just make it so that you cant put enough c5 to destroy, but rather disable

that way it forces you to then act on your ez mode c5 drone and not just get a free kill

[silk jasper]

What is quickdraw gamemode?

[upbeat sand]

Ahem

2 c5 drones

[lyric atlas]

or if you do put enough c5 to destroy, your drone is slower

[edgy oriole]

1 shot revolvers

[lyric atlas]

yeah, but then that's two people doing something. it's not quite as big a deal when two people can fuck a tank up really bad

[ionic tulip]

You also need timing and to not get avoided it’s a strat and it takes up your operator and grenade

[lament plank]

See, lots of solutions to C5 drone that don’t involve the range nerf, or easier to hit, or lower health

[edgy oriole]

if you play overwatch its like the mei event

[lyric atlas]

i looove when people make excuses for blatantly bad game design choices

[little dust]

or when u get locked in a heli and think it's one, but it's 3 at once...

[silk jasper]

nice

[lyric atlas]

because i know they're just basically statistical noise. there are guaranteed to be people who love anything, even the worst shit in the entire world, and that's what these people are.

[arctic grove]

Eh drone needed less range in general though a bit

[upbeat sand]

Well it is a sandbox game where you can play your way

[ionic tulip]

Bro your just saying because you die to something it should be taken out

[lament plank]

Not half of it taken away. Maybe 50m.

[lyric atlas]

you're just saying because you dont get a one shot ez mode thing that it shouldnt be taken out

[upbeat sand]

That's like saying to get rid of Jeep stuff

[lyric atlas]

jeeps are literally like 100x the size and cant fly

[gaunt swift]

Hello there lads and lasses

[upbeat sand]

Ey we just having a argument about if c5 drones are balanced

[lyric atlas]

if jeeps were 1/100th the size and could fly, i mean, who in their right mind would defend that?

[ionic tulip]

Helis are much more powerful then a c5 drone

[upbeat sand]

What bout the jets

[lyric atlas]

that's overly simplifying how power works in this game

[gaunt swift]

They aren't but they are fun as fuck. Make that a fucking feature i say.

[upbeat sand]

Join the club

[lyric atlas]

helis are more powerful over time than a c5 drone, but a c5 drone can one shot, something a heli cant do

[gaunt swift]

Where do i apply

[upbeat sand]

Www.GetTrolledCamoingBitch.gov

[lyric atlas]

luckily, jets are like 5+~x the size of a jeep and also could only via a miracle be used to c5 explode a thing

and cant fly as well as the drone anyway

[ionic tulip]

Size isn’t the only thing that makes stuff powerful

[gaunt swift]

Yes but its also a fucking helicopter that can take people from one end of the map to the other in air with the only thing stopping it being god tier players and shoddy tracking missiles

[upbeat sand]

Just shoot the tank with jet rpgs

[lyric atlas]

size is very important for how you can react to the game mechanic

if the drone was literally one pixel, it would 100% be fucking broken

[ionic tulip]

A small ass drone that can only hit you once by diving in your ass is not as powerful as a helicopter with rockets guns and up to 4 spots on it

[gaunt swift]

Thats along the lines of what she told me before she dumped me. Smh

[lyric atlas]

i mean, it's like comparing apples and oranges. the infantry on the ground gets to use the drone, the jets and helis are a different thing

[ionic tulip]

When you die anyone can get a heli unless they’re all being used

[lyric atlas]

irrelevant

[upbeat sand]

I mean when I was in a tank and a c5 drones was coming toward me I just drove off and boom nothing happened

[lyric atlas]

heli/jet are a different layer of gameplay than infantry gameplay. infantry gets a completely fucking borked ability, and then they also still get helis on top of that

[upbeat sand]

Sundance

[lyric atlas]

o..kay?

[ionic tulip]

Snipers shots are impossible to block and can one shot less to vehicles but I don’t see you bitching about it

[upbeat sand]

Just see the Dam thing and leave

[lyric atlas]

i dont have to. because they removed it. because it was OP

[edgy oriole]

Imma miss c5 droning sniper campers on hour glass too

[lyric atlas]

i mean, by your logic, why isnt a 1 pixel sized drone with magic shrinking c5 balanced/

someone out there could probably see it, so therefore 'get gud' right?

[ionic tulip]

Yes exactly

[lyric atlas]

you have lost the argument

[ionic tulip]

How

[lyric atlas]

if you're serious, you just shot yourself in the foot

[deep sail]

Is there sweet spot in bf 2042?

[upbeat sand]

Idk he has a big ego

[lyric atlas]

you have an absolutely absurd viewpoint that no one would agree with. you think it would be balanced if the drone was 1 pixel and could one shot you

[karmic cobalt]

No it’s all painful

[ionic tulip]

The reason you have it should be gone is it’s small

[upbeat sand]

No headshot only unless ntw

[deep sail]

Goddammit

[upbeat sand]

Just make it bigger

[lyric atlas]

but why? it's already balanced even if it's 1 pixel, right?

[upbeat sand]

1 pixel is really stretching it

[ionic tulip]

There are many downsides to a c5 drone

[lyric atlas]

even if it was literally the size of a fly in the game, it'd be balanced if it could one shot you, because apparently the fact that a savant can see it means something

[ionic tulip]

But it’s not

[lyric atlas]

but you said it would be okay if it was

[ionic tulip]

Your using hypotheticals it’s much bigger then that

[deep sail]

I liked bf hardline for the sweet spot thinghy...idk if yall remember the .300 knockout sniper rifle with integrated suppressor...that thing was beasttt

[lyric atlas]

you already said that it would be balanced if it was one pixel in size

[karmic cobalt]

This is such a whack argument lmao

[ionic tulip]

No I never said that

[upbeat sand]

Yes

[lyric atlas]

i mean, by your logic, why isnt a 1 pixel sized drone with magic shrinking c5 balanced/
someone out there could probably see it, so therefore 'get gud' right?
ChangeNameReadRules — Today at 7:21 AM
Yes exactly
advancedlamb — Today at 7:21 AM
you have lost the argument

[ionic tulip]

What?

[lyric atlas]

..........

[upbeat sand]

Holy man is trying to win this so hard

[karmic cobalt]

My guy you care way too much

[upbeat sand]

Ok let's just say it's good and bad

[lyric atlas]

arguments tend to get whack when sophistry is used by one side to avoid accepting the truth

[ionic tulip]

I said it’s small and can can one shot you it’s like a sniper

[upbeat sand]

Everything has downsides and upsides

[lyric atlas]

because i have to actually go through and make hypotheticals to highlight the failure of their absolutely purposefully absurd and dishonest viewpoint

[ionic tulip]

Yes like how a c5 drone takes up your grenade and operator

[lyric atlas]

and it's stronger than any grenade in the game

[ionic tulip]

Buddy thinks it’s don’t know words bigger then 5 letters

[karmic cobalt]

Or, in other words, absolute verbal diarrhea to make yourself look smart to a bunch of strangers on the internets

[lyric atlas]

and can do something no other operator can do

[upbeat sand]

I could be running around with a rpg as makay but going c5 drone forces me to sit in 1 place and hope I don't get shot

[ionic tulip]

But it also takes up the operator

[lyric atlas]

?? did you have trouble reading what i said kid?

[karmic cobalt]

Guys he said kid omg 😳

[lyric atlas]

verbal diarrhea? it's actually a good point to make that arguments get really weird when one side has no rational basis

[ionic tulip]

Woah really guys he’s a kid ahhhhhhhh

[lyric atlas]

😳 emoji emoji

[karmic cobalt]

Guys I’m 12, mommy says I’m a big boy now and not a kid ok, so you get your shit together right now and take this seriously

[lyric atlas]

the thing got nerfed into non-existence. you cant defend it, because the game community and designers have already spoken. yall are like a remnant of a failed ideology

[upbeat sand]

I am now going to call you "dud"

[lyric atlas]

i asked a question btw chicken, did you really have difficulty reading what i said?

[karmic cobalt]

I haven’t seen any of us call it balanced or say it should be in the game lol

[ionic tulip]

All we’re saying is it wasn’t that bad

[lyric atlas]

??

[gaunt swift]

Lamb and chicken fighting. Lol shut up and get on my plate.

[lyric atlas]

maybe. that's rather arbitrary. it was bad though

[karmic cobalt]

Not even we… I think that drone was absolute ass cancer but I don’t care nearly enough to argue it lol

[edgy oriole]

[ionic tulip]

Damn

[edgy oriole]

drone nerf was a good nerf.

[upbeat sand]

With pleasure

[lyric atlas]

everyone thought that it was absolute cancer

just like everyone thinks eating human feces is gross

which means that, actually, not everyone thinks it. somehow.

[gaunt swift]

As opposed to animal feces which is fine.

[karmic cobalt]

Yes but watching how much you care for about the argument amuses me

[lyric atlas]

i just find it fun to argue lol

[foggy tundra]

what in the....

https://tenor.com/view/calculating-puzzled-math-confused-confused-look-gif-14677181

[ionic tulip]

It might be annoying but so are a lot of things and it is possible to avoid

[karmic cobalt]

Turn away, it’s not worth it

[foggy tundra]

yall need to tone it down a notch

[upbeat sand]

Not everyone the infantry players where running around doing their thing with no arguments at all< same with the heles

[foggy tundra]

[lyric atlas]

so people who benefitted from it or were ignorant of its impact did not care. amazing

[karmic cobalt]

We’re like five minutes away from committing terrorist attacks over c4 drone ngl

[upbeat sand]

Cant please everyone

[ionic tulip]

That was like 10 minutes ago

[karmic cobalt]

I’m illiterate bro

[upbeat sand]

Ok anyway what specialists do you main guys

[lyric atlas]

you cant please everyone, that's the difficulty of balancing a sort of like, asymetrical game. however, the damage that the c5 drone did to the tank meta was too big to justify its benefit for the infantry meta

[gaunt swift]

Im just having fun watching people fight over a digital drone that explodes

[karmic cobalt]

Hehe drone go bang

[lyric atlas]

1 pixel drone with magical shrinking c5 attachments (does full damage) is balanced. accept this. git gud.

[karmic cobalt]

Drone can’t touch my plane 😎 👍

[upbeat sand]

Behold perry the platypus the kamikaze inator

[ionic tulip]

I think they could have just took down the c5 drones vehicle damage

[lyric atlas]

when i was playing (i have 100/20 vision and have 300 iq) i saw the pixel drone and just ran away lmao!!

[gaunt swift]

an exploding platypus?

[upbeat sand]

PERRY THE PLATYPUS!

[lyric atlas]

they would ideally have added a slow-down mechanic the more c5 you put on. maybe to the point that, with 4 c5, it can barely move

or at least would take a long time to accelerate to max speed

it would actually be kinda interesting if you had to maintain momentum and skillfully shift the momentum in order to dodge bullets, but not lose speed

[edgy oriole]

i think they should add emp burst to vehicles

we in the future after all

[lyric atlas]

they should add AP sniper rifles. let it hit the insides of tanks. just shoot them if you dont wanna die, git gud, etc

[upbeat sand]

Give it to the passenger

[karmic cobalt]

They should add a supersonic jet anyone can spawn with a nuke that can insta kill everyone
We in the future after all

[edgy oriole]

not really if they dropped a nuke the game would be over. that would ruin every game. nice meme tho.

[upbeat sand]

The V69 rocket

[lyric atlas]

fuck yeah, just get good if you dont wanna get nuked smh

[karmic cobalt]

Give Obama drone

[lyric atlas]

plenty of counterplay, like having to snipe it with a rocket within 1 second before it can launch the nuke. git gud

[edgy oriole]

well. 110% this person from reddit.

[lyric atlas]

is that cope?

[edgy oriole]

EZ block on chicken lmao

[karmic cobalt]

Lmao me or lamb?

[lyric atlas]

wait wtf you blocked someone for that?

for what, i dont even know

[upbeat sand]

When I go casper I just go around hacking and disrupting random tanks so they cant shoot anything and just sit there while they are banging on their keyboard like "the game is broken"

[karmic cobalt]

Please don’t compare me to reddit shitters noooo

[edgy oriole]

ive been here long enough to know the start of something i dont wanna see

[karmic cobalt]

Lmao

[lyric atlas]

i guess i could see what you mean, but it seems too quick

[upbeat sand]

C5 drone someone for me

[lyric atlas]

like, oh he mentions obama and his drone murders? BLOCKED!

[edgy oriole]

nah. i wouldnt be surprised if they start saying some dumb shit in the next 10 minutes then never come back to the discord. it happens every day

[karmic cobalt]

Mf called me a redditor, time to end it all ig

[edgy oriole]

only campers

[lyric atlas]

i mean, that's just basically how public discord users work

[upbeat sand]

They will be punished for their sins

[lyric atlas]

lots of kids and people who say things that they meant in an innocuous way but can easily be misinterpreted as something serious

[white tulip]

Genuinely asking, has this game been made playable on PS4 yet or not really

[edgy oriole]

yep, thats why the block hand stays stonk.

[upbeat sand]

What specialist do you main, this has nothing to do with what we are talking about I just wanna know

[lyric atlas]

i havent played in awhile, i usually played sundance because i liked the wingsuit a lot

[white tulip]

And any content updates or not yet

[lyric atlas]

also grapple hook guy is the only other one i really played iirc

[upbeat sand]

June-July

[karmic cobalt]

We have skins ig

[edgy oriole]

i dont have console so idk state of console play but look in #game-news for your answer.

[white tulip]

Are they challenged based unlocks or Xp based
