battlefield-2042

[edgy oriole]

i want a new arma. i havent bought arma 3 bc it old af

[arctic grove]

I want arma but if it comes to console I’ll buy it

[dapper river]

idc if it's new I just want the performance in multiplayer to not be total dogshit

[foggy tundra]

possibly? ik some people think temporal, the bf leaker, is really a EA employee

[edgy oriole]

i just dont want to spend money on a century old game

[slate meadow]

ign 9/10 this game is amazing ( before official launch) meta critic user score 2.1 ( after launch)

[thorny orchid]

I have to see how much effort they put into the game. They could just dumb it down so much it isnt arma anymore. Have to see the reviews first

[foggy tundra]

however purposefully leaking docs can uh backfire

[dapper river]

it's still a jolly good time and holds up well (as far as clunky mil-sims go anyways) but if there's a sequel around the corner then by all means, wait

[wide violet]

just a casual bring back 2142 plz

[foggy tundra]

ples

[slate meadow]

squads is a pretty solid game but dont think its on console

[foggy tundra]

was playing it earlier

[thorny orchid]

we need battlefield season 1 details to leak 🥲

[wide violet]

I saw, are there any lobbies?

[edgy oriole]

ive been waiting for a few years

[foggy tundra]

ye

reclamation

[slate meadow]

i never played 2142 but from what ive seen in youtube vids an updated version of that would be dope as f

[wide violet]

when I checked the site there was practically no one on so I didnt bother w/ it

[foggy tundra]

its usually around 5-9pm PST

for west coast

eu is like mid morning pst

[wide violet]

ahh makes sense

[foggy tundra]

but usually 20-30 peeps on the weekend

rn the US server has 13

[dapper river]

it doesn't hold up well gameplaywise. great theming though and has what i consider to be the definitive battlefield theme song, but other than that, eh

[slate meadow]

there would have to be an actual plan for seaosn 1 for there to be leaks lets be honest dice are gonna rush it right at the deadline again the push it back and it will launch in a poo poo state

[wide violet]

that is a major hot take

[thorny orchid]

☹️

[foggy tundra]

only reason why 2142 didnt sell well was because it wasnt what people wanted at the time

[wide violet]

ill give you gunplay being trash, ontop of the stamina system but other than that its just a better bf2

[foggy tundra]

it did sell 150k copies in UK alone tho

and it is a better bf2

literally bf2 expansion

[dapper river]

in BF2 at least my guns shot where I aimed them

[foggy tundra]

cap

[wide violet]

cap x2

[slate meadow]

cap x3

[foggy tundra]

uberpanzer has been capped

[slate meadow]

twiggs do you play bf2042 btw?

[foggy tundra]

i do from time to time

[slate meadow]

do you think they need to nerf flares ?

[edgy oriole]

[slate meadow]

or limit how many they get

[foggy tundra]

flares dont always work

[slate meadow]

neither does the lock on system for AA amount of times i have to stop ads then ads again to get it to work is a joke

[foggy tundra]

a 57mm wildcat can 1-2 shot a fighter

[slate meadow]

its the helicopters not the jets

the super hind is the burden of my life

[foggy tundra]

tbh

people complain about nerf this and that

and when they do nerf it

in the way that was requested

everyone gets mad

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[edgy oriole]

it is annoying when helos use flare hid behind building and come out to use flare and repeat. i use c5 drone for that annoying shit

[slate meadow]

lol you wont see me moaning about nerfing the flares or the amount of rpg it take to down a helicopter lets be honest its a joke that ahind can eat 2x AA like its nothing

[foggy tundra]

if they increased the time it took to reload flares by like

3-5 seconds

[slate meadow]

they should all be a 2shot max

[foggy tundra]

i think thatd be fine

[slate meadow]

is it 3 or 4 AA to drop a hind?

[foggy tundra]

should be 2

[slate meadow]

yeah it should be but 2 doesnt kill them just breaks parts which parts im not sure?

[foggy tundra]

it can break any

usually the tail, rotors etc

[edgy oriole]

they should also add an actual anti tank rocket for infantry.

[slate meadow]

i think they actually nerfed the AA

[edgy oriole]

m5 takes 5 years to reload and takes 6 shots to kill a tank

[foggy tundra]

me uses soflam

no one launches rockets

sadness

[slate meadow]

play with me nobody uses soflam im there with rpg sadness

[unkempt tartan]

feel like running some games does it still get lit

[edgy oriole]

liar. everyone talks about 64 rockets vs their vehicles. thats why vehicles deserve buff

[slate meadow]

im playing to ge soflam because most games im in nobody runs it

[foggy tundra]

i run medic

falck+ammo crate

is op af

[slate meadow]

this game really doesnt reward team play unfortunately this weeks rewards have actually made people play medic which has been nice

[edgy oriole]

ive been using that too. but i always go back to health bag bc i like the true medic feeling

[foggy tundra]

oo whats the reward?

[slate meadow]

i want to play different op but i really want the 60 k damage outfit for boris turret

ive got like 55 hours on record and only got 22k damage

[gray comet]

2 RPGs to the cockpit? Fine. 1 .50BMG from an NTW to the rotor? Totally crippled.

[slate meadow]

its taking forever

[edgy oriole]

it took me 47 hours to t1 him bc turret sucks pp

[slate meadow]

yeah ive hit a hind twice in a matter of seconds with the aa and it just damaged a module it ran off and came back fully repped 2 minutes later

[slate meadow]

yeah its just far to slow firing it locks on quick but takes like 3-4 seconds to start shooting in which time the nme has run behind cover

[edgy oriole]

thats what im saying

[gray comet]

2 minutes? Bro 2 children with blowtorches in there and its at full health after ~4 seconds.

Assuming an M5 hit it. AA and guided missiles do <15 damage.

The balance is a fucking joke.

[slate meadow]

lol i wasnt actualyl counting it was more like 30-45 seconds and then it killed almost everyone on the roof

[slate meadow]

they should make it so if the turret spots adn tehn otehr people do damge or you do damage with your weapon that it counts towars the 60k damage

lol i hate when i type so wuick that i hit characters before the right one in the order xD

or the wrong character all together lol

[slate meadow]

and whats with the lockon time for the aa its like 5-6 seconds in whcih time the helicopter has fked off

[gray comet]

That and the fact that you need about 7 of them at minimum to kill ONE hind.

[slate meadow]

yeah its a joke i resorted to getting in a heli going above them dropping out and the c5ing the heli

same goes for tanks i just come down ontop of them

does anybody know when the enxt patch for the game is?

hopefully to fix the invisble players and the stupid no being able to ads after revive and or not being able to reload after swapping ammo types

[willow sky]

to make the game a bit interesting ill usually do a randomizer and spin for each weapon/gadget for my loadout

not sure why i do this

[gray comet]

Hopefully they get rid of that stupid system where you get put in time out after getting into a vehicle.

[willow sky]

hinds with an actual good squad are the most broken vehicles in the game honestly lol

[gray comet]

Unironically

Even with D tier gunners as long as you have a repair tool user

[willow sky]

i cant get mad either because it finally makes a transport ship useful for once

[willow sky]

and a good flier lmao

[gray comet]

They were useful asf in BF4

In this they’re zero skill, just fly in lazy circles.

[tall yew]

2042 requires a 100+ IQ to enjoy. You can tell how dumb the world is getting by how much hate the game has gotten

[gray comet]

Weak bait

Try harder next time.

[wide shore]

I mean with the 50 mil cannon, I’m pretty sure a fruit fly could get kills

[willow sky]

ngl in bf4 it was probably because you could shoot out the gunners lmao

[white geyser]

The next battlefield, should take place the year 2085 with a new background story that tells us the war got worse.

[willow sky]

i think thats why i feel like its way easier to get kills

[gray comet]

Yeah it took skill to pilot one well and to gun well.

Also, they actually lost altitude, they didnt just stay afloat like weightless plastic bags.

[tall yew]

Oh look someone who bought Doge has low IQ

Shocker

[gray comet]

If we’re insulting eachother off of PFPs, you stalk women on Tuesday nights.

[edgy oriole]

gah damn. talking about long island ice tea tuesdays at applebees

[tall yew]

Not insulting anyone, just stating facts

[willow sky]

ngl just having a good consistent squad constantly supporting each other is what makes the game very enjoyable

[gray comet]

No, you stated a false assumption about me.

But go ahead.

[willow sky]

my only problem? why does my recon vehicle not have armored windshields 😔

[gray comet]

Bolte designers making a bombproof vehicle then giving it sugar glass windows

https://tenor.com/view/tesla-truck-cybertruck-egg-tesla-egg-break-gif-15627644

Ah dang gifs dont work in this channel

[tall yew]

Sorry Im saying good things about 2042 in the 2042 discord. Ill shutup and let you whiners continue my bad

[edgy oriole]

gotta be a booster or a reg

[edgy oriole]

continue the bait life style bud

[gray comet]

Don’t engage with him its what he wants.

Pro tip Sity, go outside.

[edgy oriole]

i know he been here for awhile. he used to talk about how great origin was. every week.

[willow sky]

Strange, did you talk about something bad about 2042 though?

[edgy oriole]

oh he also loved to talk about visiting ea or some shit

[tall yew]

COD => way

[gray comet]

[worthy inlet]

Oh it's cod better guy

[gray comet]

Why are you the way you are

[rough wigeon]

any info on season 1?

[hexed mango]

read 3.3 update from march, they mention it

[rough wigeon]

welp, still hoping this game can make a comeback, the world setting is really good

[rain quest]

Who knows. They sent a survey asking people about there opinions on if portal was to receive only gameplay updates and not new maps and legacy content. Not looking to good,

[brittle forge]

that survey was fun

Probably not gonna be significant in any way but it was at least cathartic

[arctic grove]

I got my survey and let me tell you.

I hope DICE actually read them.

[thick shadow]

I wonder if the game needs crouch sprint, not like I don't want it but is it needed?

[brittle forge]

I filled out the one they did for the beta as best as I possibly could and it didn't make any difference so we'll see I guess

[thorn helm]

is there a usb bluetooth for ps5/pc

[arctic grove]

What blows my mind is how they are completely clueless on how to improve. Its an easy cash grab. All they gotta do is add more maps to portal.

[brittle forge]

It's nice to have, I guess you don't need it especially given there's not trenches and fortifications for that type of cover like in BFV

[thorn helm]

H.O.G.
( Hunter Of Gunmen )

[thick shadow]

It mostly comes in handy by torso level cover and such, although most maps have cover that's above eye level so..

[rain quest]

Yea I really don’t understand it. We really want content more than anything. That last update greatly improve gameplay so focus of more new content and legacy content. I’m just mind blown with what is happening to new content. I jumped back onto Cold War to enjoy the jungle map and it has 36 maps total. 36 fucking maps. They say they try to make a cod killer game but they can’t even push new content. Every season it’s 2 to 3 maps with cod. I think they took lesson from the shit show that is infinite

Why do they need surveys, just look at what we say in discord

New maps, legacy maps, legacy maps in warfares conquest and breakthrough.

[thick shadow]

I just want them to stop removing game modes that the community likes

[rain quest]

If they go back on portal content that’s a lawsuit from anyone who already paid for year 1 pass and are still waiting. I was getting back hope after last update but that survey just absolutely pissed me off.

[edgy oriole]

so a survey asking what the community what they want pissed you off?

this community sucks dick dude omg

[heavy sleet]

https://streamable.com/uqv33s this game is literally a hack

[rain quest]

The fact that they even considered it. Maybe the community will be ok with us breaking our word,…… what logic is that, let’s ask and see

[edgy oriole]

its a survey dude. its just questions. you a mad clown fr

[rain quest]

Would you guys be ok if we just say fuck portal

of course I’m mad, I paid for the content and they actually considering not releasing it

What world do you live in

If you pay for something you expect it

That’s how it works

[edgy oriole]

just stay mad over nothing bro lmao

[rain quest]

it’s not nothing thou, it’s a lie if they don’t release it after they said they would

[thick shadow]

Game needs a cte asap

[rain quest]

I’m not mad about the having a survey. I mad about them literally having the audacity to ask that question, would we be ok if they don’t release content(that was already promised and some have already paid for)

Simple as that dude

Battlefield is only game I really like to play and I don’t want them to just abandon it

[thick shadow]

Doesn't the content we payed for involve the stuff that come to the base game?

[edgy oriole]

simple. yes not mad about a survey. mad about having the audacity of them asking a question. you a clown

[thick shadow]

Like new maps to AoW

[rain quest]

Lmao, your totally missing the point, and you call me a clown

[rain quest]

Some of us payed for ultimate which gave us the year one pass, which was said to include fresh content, specialists l, etc etc

[thick shadow]

Did it specifically mention portal?

[rain quest]

Yes it mentions portal

[vocal adder]

they shouldn't add more specialists tbh instead they should remove them and make them a selectable perk for classes

[arctic grove]

Preach. This is exactly what the community wants.

[rain quest]

I guess if you wanna get technical new maps would be available to anyone

[vocal adder]

and have character customization

[thick shadow]

To me portal is just something that exists, its nice but I want them to focus more on how the game performs, more stability and such.

Content can take its time for me, polish everything out you know

[rain quest]

I’m not dissing 2042, I play it a lot, I’m just really ready for some fresh content

[arctic grove]

same

i mean... what kind of game takes almost a year for a seaon 1 to drop? let alone a regular season?

usually a season lasts 3-4 months

[rain quest]

Guess In reality 2042 was released too soon.

[arctic grove]

Fortnut, cod, gears of war 5, apex all have seasons every 3-4 months

[rain quest]

Why content is so slow cause they been busy fixing the core game

[arctic grove]

I get they need time to make new maps but wouldnt it be easy to copy/paste past bf maps on portal in the mean time?

[rain quest]

lol you would think so

[thick shadow]

Although and hear me out, I do agree that we need a content drop very soon cause its been a while since launch, I'd rather play a game that functions properly than having more content added into it that might even ruin the experience. Considering how the game plays currently, yes we've gotten an update that might've fixed a thing or two but that doesn't mean that there's no need for improvement anymore

[rain quest]

But that survey suggested they trying not to do that

[arctic grove]

He has a point. The survey doesnt suggest that.

[rain quest]

Your right, but even one map would be nice lol.

[arctic grove]

we got a new map called exposed dropping hopefully in season 1

[rain quest]

Yea I hope so

[thick shadow]

I can agree with that honestly , making a map layout is not that difficult.

It's just the polishing that usually takes time, come on how many times have you been blocked by an invisible wall so far

[vocal adder]

best thing to do is release the eastern front dlc for battlefield v while they work on 2042 and fix it and release it

[copper fulcrum]

[arctic grove]

They abandon bfv and battlefront 2 for 2042

[thick shadow]

They could've kept working on bfv tbh, the game is in a far better state now than it was months before the end of the live service

[rain quest]

Yea bf5 is a good game still,

[arctic grove]

[rain quest]

But I’m just holding out some hope for 2042 even thou they keep shifting on it

[carmine dawn]

So if BF1 the "go-to" right now? Keep hearing how good it is, just want another game to play other than like Destiny or whatnot

[thick shadow]

Been hopping on division 2 a lot lately, it has that abandoned place vibe that i expected from hazard zone tbh

[rain quest]

Bf1 is still pretty active.

Even bf4 is

[thorn helm]

dont ever buy pokema

[thick shadow]

Imagine you search for hard drives and Intel in hazard zone but it's the scale of division

[thorn helm]

Pokémon at a flea market

[rain quest]

Never played the division

sorry lol

[thorn helm]

howtf they gonna make fake pokemon cards wdfq

[carmine dawn]

oh yeah ive been doing division as well lately. Cant get enough of that game

[thick shadow]

If you ever do then you'll understand what I'm trying to get at

[carmine dawn]

was just wondering if it was bf1 or bfv that everyone has been talking about lately

[rain quest]

Bf4 or 1 or 5 all are pretty active, 5 more so I believe. I’ve always had plenty of luck in 2042 also, bots every now and then but not much

[carmine dawn]

yeah i dont dislike 2042, i had my fun now im just waiting for some new stuff

hopefully get to hop back on soon

[thick shadow]

I swear on my creased sneakers that I've seen a bot tbag before in 2042

[rain quest]

I’d say my biggest downfall with 2042 is literally the way EA and dice are handling it, just a shit show

[rain quest]

O yea

They do and other things

[thick shadow]

That's what happens if a company is too confident in releasing a product

[carmine dawn]

yeah, if they didnt hype so much stuff up and advertised it as is, it wouldnt have that much hate. It was just the rugpulling that upset most of us...

oh well i guess, this has prob been said a trillion times here lol

[rough wigeon]

pressured to release a product* it's mostly the investors pulling the strings afaik

[carmine dawn]

Dont wanna snort 200lbs of copium, just hope they can turn it around. I enjoy the game a lot.

[thick shadow]

Already felt like i said something that totally misinterpreted it

Thank you for correcting me

[nova torrent]

or lack thereof handling it

[rain quest]

Well in a way I understand, they hyped it and released it way to soon, gonna be hard to get players back no matter what they do, so I believe they will deliver 4 seasons of minimal content and that’s it. Then this new game there designing from the ground up( SMFH, they still not listening) will release in 2024 and we will see how that goes.

[red iron]

In my opinion bfv is hetter than 2042

[nova torrent]

Thats basically everyone elses opinion

[thick shadow]

In quality bfv is the king if we talk about 2042 and bfv only

[rain quest]

Bf5 is better for close combat stuff but 2042 brought back vehicle combat not seen since bf4

[red iron]

The thing that pisses me off is the lag god damn is it irritating

The king is bf1

[nova torrent]

That was oppressive as shit towards infantry and was super unbalanced, yeah/

[thick shadow]

Dawg I said if we are talking about 2042 and bfv only

[rain quest]

Lol still fun for those in vehicles

[nova torrent]

Why do that when you could stack up all the other big BF games too

[red iron]

Well of all of them bf1 ks the best between 2042 and v bfv is better

[thorn helm]

why cuz Zack Effron PLAYS it?

[red iron]

Did you know that rocks move

[karmic cobalt]

Bf1 was superbly unbalanced lol. Nice atmosphere but the actual gameplay was far from the best in the series

[red iron]

Nope cause of tbe realism

[thick shadow]

We were comparing bfv to 2042 cause that was the previous game

[thorn helm]

yea in the desert

[nova torrent]

What about infatry though

[rain quest]

Lol

[rain quest]

Needs work lol

[nova torrent]

what needs work? tf are you trying to prove?

[thorn helm]

nah! Daw BF4 WERR it be at/

[red iron]

Im watching a fucking national geographic on how rocks fucking move

What is wrong with me

[thick shadow]

Bruh he replied to what you said about infantry

[rain quest]

The f you trying to ask cause I’m apparently not understanding it

[thorn helm]

the sand shifts umm or sum shii

[karmic cobalt]

Legs bro, doesn’t take a whole ass documentary for that smh

[nova torrent]

Im trying to say that while BF4/2042 style vehicle play is nice for those in them, trying to combat those vehicles as infantry is a royal pain in the ass due to their high health, near-complete lack of weak spots, and sheer numbers

[rough wigeon]

bf1's immersion in a modern warfare setting with next-gen levolutions, my dream bf game lol

[thorn helm]

not really in 4 When the jav can fire before lockon

[nova torrent]

Literally everyones dream BF game

[thick shadow]

Sounds like a dream game lmao

[hearty flame]

just let me track tanks like in squad. if im a good enough shot or a tanks playing that badly i should be able to ruin his day

[nova torrent]

Wait since when

[thorn helm]

why dont they just have two teams at once

[thorn helm]

forever i think you can check when you scope in fire it before it says seek

[rain quest]

Yea I understand that and agree, I’m just saying vehicle combat in better to me in 2042, but in bf5 and 1 vehicle vs infantry was more balanced for sure. Maybe that’s why I find it better idk.

[nova torrent]

Huh i didnt know you can do that

[arctic grove]

hey dice may update pls

thanks

[hearty flame]

theyve still got 2 weeks left dont worry lol

[arctic grove]

bruh is it me or did patch 4.0 break the pre-round intro screen

also i havent seen the orbital rocket taake off since early access week

[thorn helm]

yea May 28th my Birph Day

[arctic grove]

ok.

hbd vr0

[arctic grove]

CC-5576-40

[thorn helm]

tank you

[rain quest]

Umm, that’s true, can it still be destroyed

[arctic grove]

i think only if tornado comes near it

also sand storm on hourglass disappeared too

WTF DICE

[hidden sand]

Only majorly unbalanced thing that comes to mind is the muromets and mortar truck, outside of that it was pretty balanced imo

[rain quest]

Na, I was just in a sandstorm

[hidden sand]

Albeit the muromets is ridiculously easy to take out before it even arrives

[rain quest]

So that’s still there

[arctic grove]

oh ok. i dont get that often for some rzn

[rain quest]

Na, not often. Prob first time I got one in a week

[karmic cobalt]

LMGs we’re laser beams, the planes were crazy against infantry, the SMGs had barely any range, and the random bullet deviation was awful. Still a really fun game but it definitely had issues

[rain quest]

Honestly think they dialed it back cause it mostly aggravates people

[arctic grove]

man if it werent for random bullet deviation in BF1 i could play that game 24/7 lmao

my ideal BF game is BF1 with BFV gun play

BFV lacked atmosphere imho due to goofy looking characters just like 2042 smhhh

[desert elbow]

The SMGs were fine, they shouldn’t have very good range to begin with

[karmic cobalt]

Yeah but when compared to the meme beams LMGs and stuff, from a balance perspective it was kinda broken. Couldn’t shoot past like ten feet

[arctic grove]

Elites ruined it but thats my personal opinion

[arctic grove]

10000% true

that's the problem with live service in battlefield, it forces DICE to bake in a lot of bullshit cosmetics that don't fit the game's lore just to generate cashhh

the premium system was better in that regard tbh cause it enables them to stay in tune with the game's lore since they're not worried about revenue

[hexed mango]

i mean none of the skins released for 2042 (besides ultimate/gold) so far for the weeklies have been paid
the only sort of paid thing would be s1, which in turn acts like the premium system because it isnt just the skins being given out

[arctic grove]

well the maps will be free unlike when u paid for premium or dlc.

[arctic grove]

yea true but they needed to have the goofy specialists characters in place to begin with so as to justify the sale of their cosmetics in S1 since otherwise there's less motivation to spend moniee on cosmetics if you aint got some character you can "connect" with (hence the Sundance lore for example...)

if they were going with the premium model you would've had to pay moniee for REAL content aka guns and maps and that would've probably made them less worried about baking in goofy characters in game since far more ppl would be spending monie on the game to get the new maps/guns which are free in a live service model hmmmm

[scenic carbon]

where do I find players ?

[arctic grove]

they're gone

[scenic carbon]

cant find anyone to play with on Conquest

[arctic grove]

get BF1

or 4

[scenic carbon]

I have both

[arctic grove]

nice

[scenic carbon]

who had this stupid idea of a hero shooter for battlefield ?

bought this trash I cant play now

70 euro down the drain

[arctic grove]

i dont wanna use heavy language but it's some #$$##($(&%$($#&#(^#&$^&$^&#@^#&^$&$^&#

[wanton magnet]

Do you have cross play on? There’s currently a bug where it doesnt work if you have it off.

[scenic carbon]

yes

[wanton magnet]

Are you getting assassin squad? That squad is also bugged. Id restart the search. If that doesn’t work close the game and restart it.

[scenic carbon]

this was the last straw, Im done with this company

[fervent grotto]

lol

&$@&%*^¥€££&$&@&$&

Tbh I just want new content. Like just more stuff to do and use

That would be nice. Also, do we know how your going to unlock dlc guns? Leveling up or challenges like older bfs?

[thorn helm]

whats gunna be fire

[thorn helm]

ok

[fervent grotto]

Huh?

Do you mean my name? And if so, it’s literally in my name

[thorn helm]

cry because i just got out of Metro 2014 and they camped the Russian slo B flag all the way to the base so no one can unlock F2000 on cheaty scammy server

[arctic grove]

ok.

[thorn helm]

why did dice shut down their own servers?

[thorn helm]

ok

[arctic grove]

idk why did the chiccen cross the road

[thorn helm]

because he needed to be Okie

[fervent grotto]

Because it felt like it

[arctic grove]

ok.

[fervent grotto]

Maybe his chicken wife was making dinner

[arctic grove]

[fervent grotto]

Or maybe he wanted to see his chicken kids because he lost custody and now only gets visitation

[thorn helm]

Dude Ok

[arctic grove]

guys can i call andrew wilson and tell him to remove speicalists from 2042 pls?

[fervent grotto]

ok.

[fervent grotto]

I mean if you find his phone number ig

[arctic grove]

must be some where

did oskar gabrielson leave dice lmao?

[fervent grotto]

Idk who that is

[arctic grove]

the guy that looks like god from michael angelo's painting that revealed portal

[hexed mango]

i mean its possible, but i think a larger selling point is more of the stuff you get out of s1 than just the skins
i personally don't care too too much for skins, cool yeah i like them, but i can live without it

s1 to me is bringing an expansion of the game, with more specialists, guns, maps, etc. not more skins (even though yes literally it is)

[arctic grove]

i heard he left along side the mezmar mofo

[fervent grotto]

I’m gonna be honest the only dev that I know for any game is Vonderhar from blops 3 because of “Gold star for Vonderhar”

[arctic grove]

well i hope it's worth while i hope it's not as dry as BFV's content drops

[fervent grotto]

I never look at game devs ever lmao. I know the studio but past that I have zero clue

[hexed mango]

i mean, as seeing that they have to add stuff to 3 different gamemodes, i think it wont be

[arctic grove]

if the leaks are to be believed we aint getting new BF game till late 2024 so this mess is here to stay for 2 years!

[hexed mango]

i also hope that it just brings people back to the other modes, like hz, which hasnt been active since launch, even though its a pretty underrated mode

[fervent grotto]

Is there enough players to fill new game modes

[hexed mango]

i mean i get full AoW matches all day, i dont really ever play portal or hz

[thorn helm]

Dude we used to have rats but I wiped them out with my G3A3 SAS AEG

[arctic grove]

yea the game has a lot of untapped potential and genuinely be fun but bug, missing features, and the questionable creative direction really fxxxed the game lmao

[fervent grotto]

Yeah but I’m talking other places that don’t get populations like that

[thorn helm]

some guy overloaded his house a couple doors down XD

[arctic grove]

uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
wired flex but ok.

[hexed mango]

i disagree to the latter mainly cause i like where they are going with this, and i think that 4.0 really overhauled most the prominent issues that previously were an annoyance

[fervent grotto]

Tf does that have to do with anything

[thorn helm]

is it legal to hunt rats

G3A3

[fervent grotto]

Yes. Assuming your in America. Idk about other countries

Probably in other countries too but idk

[arctic grove]

i jusss hate em damn specialists and their goofy faces/voice lines (except irish lmao)

[thorn helm]

how much would a legit clone commando helmet cost?

[hexed mango]

are you saying that just cause he is dead (rip)

[thorn helm]

dude ok man

[fervent grotto]

Why would we know

[arctic grove]

nah bruh his voice lines are actually solid

like they feel genuine especially when he gets shot at and drops F bombs

[fervent grotto]

Please ask yourself that. Why, instead of looking it up, would you think people in a BF server would know. Not trying to be hostile at all, but just… why

[arctic grove]

ok.

[thorn helm]

what about my windsheild factory it uses OLED Display with most to all vison modes?

[thorn helm]

dude ok I'll pay you

[hexed mango]

cause i personally think that there isnt a problem with voicelines or faces in a bf game, and yeah sure angel is a poopoo sometimes, i think its still enjoyable to have that interaction within the world

plus, i like mackay's voicelines, same with dozer, mackay has a sense of humor (which includes dad jokes) and just more lividness to the game

i think paik and angel are the only 2 that i clearly see the need for major improvement

[arctic grove]

idk bruh but more than $3

[arctic grove]

ok. tanks 👍

bruh what are u even saying

someone made a delta squad mod, it is quite hot

[thorn helm]

really sick I gotta check it out

[fervent grotto]

Ok I have a genuine question, why did we go from 5 person squads in BF1 to 4 person again

[hexed mango]

they have custom weapons n everything

[thorn helm]

did you see the vid of han solo

[fervent grotto]

Like there was nothing wrong with 5 people

[hexed mango]

idk 4 is better than 5

[fervent grotto]

I call BS on that change

[hexed mango]

in the us army, squads are 6-10 people... we should get 6 player squads in 128 lel

[fervent grotto]

I think 128 was a huge mistake

[hexed mango]

nah more players more fun

[thorn helm]

I actually went on twitter to try and get my Helmet Design mass produced so it'll be affordable ok

[hexed mango]

heheheha

get elon to make a tesla cc helmet

instead of Clone Commando its Cyber Commando ez

[fervent grotto]

Bigger doesn’t mean better. 128 is completely unpolished and doesn’t work well at all

[hexed mango]

i mean...

[fervent grotto]

Good job bro

Your so creative. A joke about pp size. Your a true artist

Copper (I) oxide or cuprous oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Cu 2 O. It is one of the principal oxides of copper, the other being or copper (II) oxide or cupric oxide (CuO). This red-coloured solid is a component of some antifouling paints

Lead Dioxide is a highly insoluble thermally stable Lead source suitable for glass, optic and ceramic applications. Lead oxide is an inorganic compound which may be prepared by heating lead metal in air at approx. 600 °C. Lead oxide occurs in two polymorphs, red and yellow, both occur naturally as rare minerals.

Photodynamic therapy, is a form of phototherapy involving light and a photosensitizing chemical substance, used in conjunction with molecular oxygen to elicit cell death. PDT is popularly used in treating acne. It is used clinically to treat a wide range of medical conditions, including wet age-related macular degeneration, psoriasis, atherosclerosis and has shown some efficacy in anti-viral treatments, including herpes. It also treats malignant cancers including head and neck, lung, bladder and particular skin. The technology has also been tested for treatment of prostate cancer, both in a dog model and in human prostate cancer patients

Hey guys i have a weird bug in 2042 on ps5 and i dont see anyone else who has it?

I cannot heal, literally nothing happens when i use a medpen or medbag

It plays the sound effect and my screen blurs like it should

But my health stays the same it happens like 50% of games

For the whole game

Thank you

List of stuff missing from BF42 :
-inspect viewer (for guns, vehicles, operator skins)
-the ability to choose the Russian side in Solo/Co-op
-a way to save different starting presets for weapons
-copy/change class/loadout order

what else ?

[silk surge]

It works decently in Conquest tbh. I wish they would heavily reduce the map sizes though. It would work a lot better if the fights were less spread out.

Did you know that Breakaway is almost the same size as the Firestorm map in BFV?

I think they should start using Kaleidoscope's map size as a frame of reference.

[loud flower]

on PC ?
cuz I play on PS5 and it works "fine"*

*fine defined as "as good as it gets in this game"

[silk surge]

With the poor optimization, I can imagine why PC players don't like 128p

I also play on PS5. The game runs smoothly with 128p.

[dull carbon]

You can be russian

In solo/coop

[loud flower]

I've looked absolutely everywhere how to switch sides for hours it just gave me a massive headache
I even tried to look it up on youtube

[dull carbon]

Well

Hold on launching the game

[dull carbon]

Ok so I am now playing as a Russian on solo Conquest

You just have to select the map as Orbital

Thank me later lmao

[loud flower]

...that's it ?

I played on three different maps and always got US, so I thought you couldn't play as russia
You have to pick a specific map to get one of both sides ????
wow
I'm truly amazed at how inefficient this is

[silk surge]

This dude needs to get more creative with his titles lmao.

[loud flower]

at this point, it's bot generated, no human can be that uncreative... right ?

[silk surge]

I guess he's trying to fish the algorithm.

[silk surge]

And it seems to be working.

[loud flower]

probably because it's also lookin clickwhoring asf

[silk surge]

Just this week, he has released 4 videos with the same title

[silk surge]

That's unfortunately what the 2042 Youtuber sphere looks like in general. People making the same videos over and over again.

It's either hate circlejerking or hyping something up, nothing in between.

[loud flower]

even CoD ytbers aren't that cringey with the exception of these

[silk surge]

I guess it's easier to do this with 2042. When DICE is being silent, you can just make money filling the blanks.

[loud flower]

sure

[loud flower]

I've just tried every map
I'm astonished to discover that Orbital is the only map where you play as Russia
I'm trying to grind the Su-57 and no AI uses aircrafts of any kind on this one

I just played a game on Orbital and the AI was using condors

[loud flower]

the AIs were on beginner, I switched it up to intermediate and managed to shoot down an Apache helo so I guess it just needed that

[tame cobalt]

Wonder if arc raiders will release this year

[tall finch]

ur a COD fanboy obviously larger player counts arent good, also you have clearly not learnt ur lesson with bf2042, cod mw2 is just gonna be a repeat of MW19 but just better graphics and different story, the mp will be the EXACT SAME

[low timber]

Never heard of WesNemo.

[dapper berry]

bro that's hype

[tall finch]

like i dont understand, how do cod fanboys accept the exact same game every year, i actually (no exaggeration) couldnt tell the difference between bocw and mw19

[dapper berry]

something's wrong with your eyes then, mw19 and bocw were wildly different

[tall finch]

the hud is the same, some maps are the same, the weapons are,

[dapper berry]

just look at animation quality, sound quality, movement was emulated to be the same but the engines were different

[tall finch]

well some weapons are the same but 1 picture of mw19 and bocw has no difference unless its a video OR ur playing it

[dapper berry]

it's not if you know what to look for

you could argue most FPSes are the same with the same logic

[tall finch]

yeah something tells me that 2 games in a franchise shouldn't need you to dig into fine details to find differences

just see bf for example: in bf5 u have a clean and white hud, in 2042 you get a futuristic blue-ish yellow hud

[dapper berry]

aren't people mad because 2042 is too different from its predecessors ? 🤔

[tall finch]

arent people mad because the newer cods are too similar to its predecessors?

A dazzling display of logic

[dapper berry]

they aren't though, more people play the latest COD than 2042

warzone is getting stale but that's another debate

[tall finch]

https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/reviews/call-of-duty-vanguard-review/

COD is pretty much dead in the ground by now, learnt our lesson with 2042 so i cant trust MW2

[dapper berry]

if you look at BF's history, the ones that brought the most players in were the ones that resembled the last entry the most (BF2,BFBC2, BF4) except BF1

people like buying (last year's game)+1, it's safe and it's not as risky

[tall finch]

dung piles do, how is cod fun if you get the same game every year

[loud flower]

the mp will be the EXACT SAME
bro of course we hope the MP will be the exact same, CoD worked out so well til now because the core experience and what's good about it stayed the same
you call him (and probably me as well) a CoD fanboy but just looking at your name screams BF shill
uPdAtE 4.0 sAvEd bF2042, bro I want to love the game, really I do, but there is so many things wrong with it on so many levels, it's hard not to speak ill of it when it's that bad
if it was only the netcode, you'd think "they still haven't solved that ? oh well, let's play" but that's the thing, it's not only that

[dapper berry]

vanguard is bad i don't disagree, but it's also sledgehammer that developed it

[tall finch]

oh crap i forgot to fix my nickname my stupid brother put

there u go

[dapper berry]

does it matter if it's the same game if you're having fun ?

[loud flower]

okay now I can somewhat agree with your username

[tall finch]

i aint having fun since bocw

[dapper berry]

oh same trust me, but MW2 has more potential than BOCW and VG both

[tall finch]

i'd rather play 2042 than bocw and vanguard, bocw and vanguard are so stale but 2042 has atleast something new like: wingsuits, tornadoes, 128 players, huge maps, rocket launchess etc

[dapper berry]

understandable

my point is that the "same game" is just a matter of perspective, we've been playing the same point & clickers since doom 3D if you really think about it

what's important is if you can turn off your brain enough to just enjoy the current game you're playing

[tall finch]

i sorta agree and i hope mw2 turns into a new interesting experience but they way i see it until microsoft fully gets the deal through i dont see any new cods being any fun to me

[dapper berry]

i'm not gonna preorder it but infinity ward knows they can't afford to fuck this one up

[tall finch]

yeah im keeping my expectations to the ground until microsoft gets it through, if they dont then god help cod

[loud flower]

huge maps
not necessarily a good thing though
cuz it just turns the game into walking simulator 2022, as if it wasn't that annoying in BF4

[dapper berry]

cod was the cod killer all along

[tall finch]

just call in a vehicle

[tall finch]

and bf was the bf killer all along, cod has microsoft to save their backs in case mw2 flops but BF doesnt have anything, but they seem to be fixing stuff at a rapid rate and S1 is coming soon so my hopes are 1% up for BF

[dusky blade]

Fr man

[loud flower]

personally I've been playing CoD since BO4
BO4 was just pure pain all along but MW was hella fun
CW was questionable at first with its numerous issues but around S3 I had a lot of fun
VG is... different but I still get my fun too

[dapper berry]

with zampella at the helm i'm optimistic, dude created titanfall after all

[tall finch]

whats he gonna do, make BF a futuristic military shooter? jk i have been BLEEDING MY BRAIN OUT FOR A ULTRA-FUTURISTIC MILITARY SHOOTER LIKE BF2142

[loud flower]

most of the time nothing is available though

[tall finch]

then find one near a flag

[dapper berry]

i've been playing since cod4, MW19 was godtier, BOCW was meh, VG was fun for the first two days then people found out that the stg44 was OP

[tall finch]

personally i never had the issue of walking simulator in bf2042 but im having it in bf4, i never had the issue of vehicles being op (apart from the nightbird which they nerfed) but vehicles feel like they are 800x more OP in bf4, maybe bf4 has more vehicle sweats?

[dapper berry]

you and me both, i was so hyped up after BF4 final stand i thought the next game was gonna be 2143

they have to bring 2142 to portal, it would be such a missed opportunity not to do it

[tall finch]

something like the opening shot of terminator2 would be amazing

[loud flower]

then people found out that the stg44 was OP
just like the M4/MP5/Val MW meta, the XM4, 74u CW meta, etc...
though the STG is not all that OP anymore

[dapper berry]

indeed, but the grind wasn't nearly as long in those games

either you had to grind around 50 levels just to get the vital perk, or you had to buy the winning track blueprint

it completely ruined the TTK, couple that with packet bursts and general instability and the experience was subpar

there's some sort of powercreep happening over those 3 games mainly because of warzone

first you had MW2019 weapons tuned with 100hp, then BOCW weapons tuned with 150hp, then you had VG weapons tuned with 100hp but 10 attachments

[loud flower]

Ah yeah that

70 lvls per primary, 60 per secondary, what idiocy tier is that

[dapper berry]

yeah it's absolutely tedious

[loud flower]

Even I think 10 is too much
6 is alright
8 is a bit much but it had a downside so eh

Once you're done with the weapon level grind, you gotta do the camo challenges
7 of them aren't hard, 3 others are incredibly tedious or hard
And do NOT start me on melee camos
Slide kills with the shield ??
Whoever designed that, fire that sadistic shill right now
@dapper berry

[dapper berry]

jesus i didn't even look at camos before i left the game

[loud flower]

Even MW's shield didn't stoop as low as requiring slide kills

[dapper berry]

the games after MW2019 really tried to pile on its success, thinking players wanted MORE grind and MORE everything

while all people wanted was a 2 year lifespan for MW19

[loud flower]

More grind yeah right

[loud flower]

Exactly

[dapper berry]

that's why i'm optimistic about 2042, even the game launched in a shit state, we at least know there won't be another entry until the end of next year

(yes even though BFV was abandoned)

[dusky blade]

Man what happened to 100 headshots or gold camo

[loud flower]

Honestly it's that fact that doesn't make me optimistic about BF42, because there is the chance that they're abandoning it already
Maybe they're actually producing content for it but releasing actual fixes/patches every six months and if they break something with that new patch, eh, no luck, gotta wait another 6 months
and THAT, would be terrible news

[dapper berry]

that's why i'm looking at it this way:
if they fix it before the next BF entry and actually make good core changes, then i'm good with DICE
if they don't, then fuck 'em

either way i'm not really holding my breath, i already paid for the game and it's kinda fun right now

i've seen a lot of my favourite franchises die already so what's one more

[slim quiver]

what do you mean by core change

[dapper berry]

things like the general map layouts (added cover, an actual rethinking of pathways between hotspots in each map), removal/design rework of specialists, UX changes (a server browser, for instance)

they already showed their intent on doing similar things, so it's more a matter of seeing the results of the current content hiatus for me, which should be around season 1

[slim quiver]

the maps you see now will most likely never be reworked. Added cover by adding in things maybe, but reworks no. removal of specialists definitely not coming either

server browser is possible though who knows

[slim quiver]

core changes will largely stay the same is my guess

season 1 will bring new content

maybe some QOL changes

specialists will remain tho

[dapper berry]

they for sure will, but they said they're reworking them, i'm curious to what extent

[slim quiver]

im curious to how far that rework goes

maybe use any specialist for any class

[dapper berry]

as for the maps they mainly need cover, and they can 'rework them' by making cover guide players to desired hotspots

[slim quiver]

that would be fine

[slim quiver]

lets be honest

with the map size

they need to do more than just add boxes

[dapper berry]

yeah, i'm personally hoping they roll back to the BF5 style of elites but that's wishful thinking

[chilly jacinth]

no thanks

[dapper berry]

yeah but that ain't happening, all they're doing is adding new props and changing map limits

[chilly jacinth]

the elites are op

[dapper berry]

i meant the cosmetic elites (think misaki etc) not BF1 sentries

[slim quiver]

also

bots filling in servers makes server browsing not requires or probable

[dapper berry]

a good player count also makes it not required, it's really a matter of giving players something for the sake of giving it

[next onyx]

Arc you're more likely thinking about Bf1 Elites which were fucked.

[chilly jacinth]

are there other elites?

[dapper berry]

Yes.

[reef bough]

Yes in BfV they were just cosmetic and voice

[next onyx]

Bf5 elites were just cosmetics and voice yeah what Tak said.

[crisp junco]

I didnt like the bf5 elites because they made japanese soldiers appear in norway

[dapper berry]

yeah that was fucked, but it's a better implementation than 2042 specialists IMO

[slim quiver]

game devs dont really do that tho

[slim quiver]

oh no :((( anything but that

[dapper berry]

DICE LA did

[slim quiver]

let met be honest, this historical accuracy thing shouldnt matter in a BF game

[chilly jacinth]

seems kinda pointless if theyre just going to be cosmetic

[slim quiver]

what did they do

[dapper berry]

BF4 CTE, they designed a map with the community, gave night ops that everyone asked for

it was 10 years ago tho, things have changed

[reef bough]

Multiplayer I never cared about it, but their chapters about less known real stories could attempt to be better.

[slim quiver]

wasnt it basically voting

[slim quiver]

real stories yes

agreed

multiplayer? nobody should care about accuracy here

the mulitplayer in itself is made up battles in real areas

[dapper berry]

it was, but they also could've done nothing and just left the game as is

[reef bough]

Nah, multiplayer is just always just for fun and a mess

[slim quiver]

exactly

real stories 100% agreed it should be accurate to the history

because its a retelling of the stories of war

[reef bough]

Yeah

[slim quiver]

multiplayer in itself is supposed to be a fun mess

its supposed to be chaotic, and giving more players options in multiplayer is always a +

[reef bough]

Yup, the sandbox bf is known for

[slim quiver]

yes

[slim quiver]

right but the community didnt design it

they just voted

which is still different than having ah and in giving people what the players want for the sake of doing it

[chilly jacinth]

people still swear by realism in bf even though it never has been about that

[slim quiver]

theres always a reason in implementing something in game design

[next onyx]

Too bad no infiltration of shanghai.

Map was canned since they cut support for bf4.

[slim quiver]

because they played BF3 or BF4 as their first game and thought it was some immersive "authentic" war game

[reef bough]

Yeah its weird

[slim quiver]

BF1942 expansion had jetpacks as a pick up

[frank stratus]

Or bad company 2

[slim quiver]

germans literally flying around

[slim quiver]

BC2 was highly unrealistic

[dapper berry]

of course there is, i ain't saying there isn't, what i'm saying is that they already have a server browser in portal, and enough people are asking for it

[frank stratus]

It's so overrated

[dapper berry]

it would be an easy sign of good faith to allow it to work with AOW servers

[slim quiver]

i just dont think a server browser would just be released in AOW for a few reasons

[dapper berry]

you can argue if they're gonna do it or not, i'm saying DICE had a history of listening to player feedback back in ye olden days

[chilly jacinth]

i dont really see a reason to when quick play actually works now

[slim quiver]

theres no community servers for AOW, nor will there be

1 because you can make a 2042 community server in portal

all the 2042 features exist in portal

you could recreate 2042 in portal pretty much

AOW will most likely just strictly be server matchmaking

you will fill into whatever server you can and the bots will occupy whatever space is left open

it makes it easier for people to simply connect to games quickly

and if they want a server browser, portal has one

its honestly not the devs problem if people dont want to utilize portal

[dapper berry]

of course quick play is more efficient in getting people into matches, but a server browser and matchmaking system can coexist

[reef bough]

Kinda wish it had lobby after a match where teams voted on a map

[slim quiver]

it can coexist but it doesnt make sense

[slim quiver]

same

[dapper berry]

the problem with quickplay right now is that lobbies get disbanded and you often join late matches

[slim quiver]

so then leave the match and rejoin a new one

or wait until it fills

[dapper berry]

if they listed AOW servers and portal servers in the same list, it would give more visibility to portal servers (which are almost dead except for 1 or 2 hardcore servers), it would please people who are asking for it, and if they add a match progress timer (unlikely) you could chose better

you could also choose the map you want to play

there are no downsides in adding a server browser, yes the game is playable now and there are workarounds to what i'm saying, but people don't want to work around shit

it's not needed, but it would be greatly appreciated, just like the scoreboard

[next onyx]

Wish lobbies were persistent honestly.

[reef bough]

Yeah

[slim quiver]

I dont know how a bunch of regular servers give more visibility to portal servers

the portal servers being separate gives them a ton of visibility themselves

its just that not a lot of people are playing them

its easier to just launch AOW

[dapper berry]

exactly

i'm not saying that players who want to play AOW would play portal

i'm saying people who care enough to look for a specific AOW server might get curious and connect to a seeding portal server

there's an overlap that isn't being utilized IMO

but then again, this is just wishful thinking

it's likely that MM servers (AOW and featured portal experiences) and community portal servers are on an entirely different structure

[slim quiver]

this

either way i think the core of this game has been decided

im kind of just waiting for the next battlefield game

[frank stratus]

Battlefield 2043

[reef bough]

1842

[sly thunder]

Mad Company

[dim blade]

Battlefield 4 II

[fervent grotto]

It doesn’t flow as well as 64. Which is to be expected of a relatively new feature but it just should’ve gotten more work

[dim blade]

isnt that because the maps are so bloated. twice the players yet half the encounters cause the maps are huge yet not very detailed

[fervent grotto]

That and with how some of the points are so out of the way there’s often times points with like 2 people on it and then another one with like 7.

[dim blade]

Yeah when i played orbital 128 i just felt i was supersprinting through green pastures all the time

maybe find the occasional enemy

[low timber]

Lol, one the last 500 resupplies for Angels T1 I realized that ammo crate progresses it as well. Well now it’s only McKay and Irish that are not T1 yet.

[upbeat sand]

Stay around the D and B areas for the most combat

Kek marse I knew that cause my friend just exploited his way to most of the tier 1's.

[stone cradle]

Which no doubt can't be an improvement over this, considering they're having this be the basis of a new Battlefield 'universe'

[slim quiver]

well it kind of depends

if they double down on this design i just wont buy the next battlefield

its pretty simple

[stone cradle]

They could easily win the fanbase's respect back if they do a simple remaster like one for BF3 or bad company 2. Fan favourites. Remaster them in 4k 60/120fps on console. Easy not to mess up.

[slim quiver]

Fan favorites is highly subjective

[stone cradle]

Ok then, just loved quire alot

[slim quiver]

To me BF3 was overrated, I hated 4. BC2 was fun tho. Wouldn’t want a remaster tho because that’s it’s own thing

They should be able to make a new game just fine

[stone cradle]

Idk about that, but I'll give the new team another chance. Maybe Zamphella and Lehto can actually give what the fans want.

Hopefully this time EA isn't pressuring them to monetise the hell out of an already $60 game.

[low timber]

I feel like Irish got nerfed more than just the shield now breaking when a vehicle drives over it, as the cooldown feels way longer and my shield just broke from enemy gunfire only few seconds after placing it down.

Oh fuck off, hit a moving Bolte driver in the head with a revolver 25-30 meters away but no kill.

[hollow verge]

when the next update?

[upbeat sand]

Soon^tm

[mental delta]

So ... you have chosen death

[mental delta]

It would be hard to mess up I would say, but that's Dice and EA you can expect everything with them

[slim quiver]

Nope

I chose good games

[tiny imp]

Flashback CQ is back Yaaoo

[low timber]

Oooh, time to play that then.

[mental delta]

No you choose crazyness

BF3 is really good

[fervent grotto]

Uh oh man

[low timber]

Wait a second, in #direct-communication it says flashback conquest is 128 players

[mental delta]

Well I can understand someone doesn't appreciate BF4 but BF3 is incredible

[fervent grotto]

Your treading dangerous waters with that statement

[mental delta]

What do you mean lol

[fervent grotto]

You just said bf3 was awful

[mental delta]

Yes the game is amazing

[fervent grotto]

I’ve never played it so I don’t really care but there are people here who will not like that

[mental delta]

Lol fuck I am so dumb, I didn't mean awful I meant like really good

[fervent grotto]

Oh well

[mental delta]

I am just dumb lol

This game is my favourite one ever

[fervent grotto]

Saying BF3 is awful would be like saying Black ops 2 was the worst cod game ever

You’d probably be burned at the stake.

[mental delta]

Yes I just used a wrong vocabulary word thinking it meant the opposite of what I wanted to say

[mental delta]

BO2 is maybe the best cod ever

[fervent grotto]

Idk I also never played it

[mental delta]

🥲

[scenic tartan]

Just say battlefield 2042 was an AI simulation game released by the no pat leadership to promote the war as propaganda.
The next game can be the real thing and have actual warzones and battlefields with destroyed landscapes and classes and good maps

[mental delta]

What do you play so ?

[mental delta]

We hope classes, good maps (not too big) and lot of weapons for the next bf game, that's the 3 only things for a good bf game and 2042 has none of them lol

[fervent grotto]

Cod and BF. Also Cotw. But that’s about it

[mental delta]

Cotw?

What is that

[fervent grotto]

It’s a hunting game. It was free on Gamepass so I downloaded it and now I’m addicted to it

[slim quiver]

Guess I’ll be burned at the stake

BF3 to me was overrated. Black ops 2 a little of the same, overrated.

[upbeat sand]

Reject unfinished AAA games

Return to Hunt Down The Freeman

[surreal crystal]

Eyo wers the core feedback questions thingy for operators??

[royal wigeon]

why is the weekly mission still not showing?

[solid imp]

RIP MKW it would be amazing if a sequel came out and the story introduction was Irish getting unplugged matrix-style so he could go fight in the actual war and not the simulation.

[thick stone]

i killed rasputin

i killed darnell simmons

[scenic tartan]

They could recast him. It's sad he passed but the character can live on

[thick stone]

shot him with my nine, i shot him nine times nine AM on the dime. by the way it was november 9th.

[solid imp]

In fact... if it was a simulation that recast would be pretty easy to write in

[upbeat sand]

You didn't do it right it's 2 in the skull

[shy latch]

weekly mission is on Thursday

[thick stone]

shot up darnell with a long ass gun.. tossed it into the aquarium..

[royal wigeon]

i know, am trying to complete the last one. cant see it

[foggy halo]

all games are unrealistic

[shy latch]

oh ok, that's a common bug, you can't see in details what you have done so far but if you go on the locked reward you can see X out of 3 tasks completed (which ones unfortunately you can't know)

[royal wigeon]

ah ok, i'll try it, thanks for the info!

[shy latch]

np 👌

[stone cradle]

I don't think we'll ever get that tbh lmao

[lofty nymph]

are we getting new content before or after MW2?

[stone cradle]

S1 is going to happen somewhere in summer, so very likely before MW2

Knowing DICE it will probably be June or when 2042 hits EA Play

[stone cradle]

Nah its like saying MW2 is the worst COD you'll get burnt alive by the fanbase.

[quiet shell]

Why did DICE open a completely seperate feedback thread for portals when they literally have the feedback hub

[stone cradle]

why

[silk surge]

Do they even know that they have a dwindling playerbase? I can barely play 32v32 with crossplay off.

[stone cradle]

Who the hell makes these decisions?

[river trench]

What happened

[stone cradle]

Flashback conquest was probably some of the most fun I had in 2042 ever, 128 players is going to make it awful. Who tf thought of this?

[silk surge]

Probably the same people who thinks reintroducing Vehicle TDM is a good idea.

[stone cradle]

Reminds me when they removed 2042 rush even though that's the mode pretty much everyone loved

[torpid vortex]

COD devs?

[stone cradle]

2042 vehicles are already a pain in the ass, vehicle TDM is hell.

[mossy badge]

what is vehicle tdm ? is it like everyone will have tank 128 tank players ?

[torpid vortex]

If everyone had a vehicle It would be kind of funny but that's not even a thought through game mode. It's on a tdm sized map lol

The call of duty official battlefield map people want to do something and dice LA is also just as young 'n dumb if not call of duty itself no surprise

Ripple effect

[silk surge]

It's TDM but with vehicles included. It's as frustrating as it sounds.

[mossy badge]

[silk surge]

Every game one team gets base camped by another.

[stone cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/skinner-skinnerkids-kids-gif-23476710

[thick stone]

I killed Darnell Simmons.

[stone cradle]

rip no embed, this is probably what DICE/EA feels rn

[torpid vortex]

No people that old before BF4 BFV BF1 would never have allowed this gameplay to happen. Like it sounds good looks good in theory but when you actually play the game you wouldn't want anyone to witness the spawn camp

[stone cradle]

Well I'm fine with them bringing out a horrible game mode, but making it return again and again and making it worse despite feedback just makes you on a whole new level of incompetent

[torpid vortex]

They are not organized enough to know what they are actually doing, shit isn't even the same from map to map like it doesn't even look like they use base classes. Then they can't Script gameplay and can barely do insertions. Game doesn't have enough content to show off anything, they continue to not really put in a whole lot of effort and sell a bunch of shit and I don't think they really have the entitlement to do that

[scenic tartan]

https://twitter.com/BattlefieldComm/status/1526180063858892802?t=XWsE_uWbJu89deElWlfyAA&s=19
They basically are doing this to get feedback to show nobody likes 128 player

[next onyx]

Tier 1 Scar baby.

[solid imp]

yesss it looks so good, I just got mine a couple days ago

[arctic grove]

Looks dope

I got tier 1 K30 few days ago

[night vessel]

I love the scar but it don't feel like the same scar from BF4

In BF4 it has headshot multiplier + it only takes 3 bullets to the chest to kill someone

[radiant prism]

Just now? 🥱

[solid imp]

It doesn't feel at all the same, it feels a bit more like the G36 a bit maybe?

[scenic tartan]

Yeah they are basically doing this to see players drop off and complain to show that 128 players is unpopular
https://twitter.com/darkosupe/status/1526190485999603712?t=rN0EuKmwLGift3syJsxtXg&s=19

If you have evidence to show that 128 player is unpopular you can use that to make changes

[night vessel]

It feels like a 36 with standard ammo

[fervent grotto]

I wonder if we’d get like an XM8 for this game or something like that

That would be neat

[radiant prism]

Hot take? I hate the XM8 lol. Looks stupid imo

[fervent grotto]

Also an F2000 maybe

[radiant prism]

(wouldn't really be opposed to it in game Its just a personal gripe of mine lmao)

[night vessel]

Idk about you guys but high power mags do shit all it still takes more than 3+ bullets to kill someone

[fervent grotto]

I really like it tbh. It is a bit strange looking but I like it

[fervent grotto]

Yea high power is crap

[night vessel]

Damage output is 27 like who the fuck did theses balancing

[radiant prism]

I love high power on particular guns

[eternal storm]

on a pc...?

[night vessel]

High power mags should do 33 damage or 35 at least

[radiant prism]

Thats a 4 shot kill, pretty standard....

[fervent grotto]

Only thing it’s better on is snipers

[night vessel]

And it makes 0 fucking sense that close combat mags do more damage than standard and high power like wtf

[solid imp]

Ac42 with high power and long barrel is pretty sick since I'm single tapping it anyway

the other ARs probably not hp ammo or long barrel

[next onyx]

This variant of the SCAR sucks.

That's all I can say really.

[fervent grotto]

What about a M249 SAW?

We need more lmgs. And we need more utilities

[radiant prism]

More everything tbh

[next onyx]

It's a good mid range weapon but it needs its maximum damage buffed.

[fervent grotto]

True

[solid imp]

the saw is an iconic lmg for sure.. the kind that in the year 2042 would still be loads of them stockpiled in places for something like a no pat to have dropped by US to go fight

[fervent grotto]

Idk what else they could add to utilities. Maybe a lever action shotgun. THAT would be funny

[fervent grotto]

Yea that’s what I’m thinking

[solid imp]

mare's leg?

[fervent grotto]

The mares leg was a rifle.

[solid imp]

good point lol mb

[fervent grotto]

It was a cut down .44 lever action.

[next onyx]

Would be cool to see a downsized 60 round mag for it, Upping its handling.

[night vessel]

Plz tell me that how can CQC have more damage output

It has 9mm rounds bruh

[fervent grotto]

Because its ✨2042✨

[tacit sphinx]

which makes sense? a higher calibre round is typically going to have more stopping power lol

[night vessel]

I know right high power rounds have much stopping power yet they only do 22 in all ranges

[tacit sphinx]

it's a shorter cartridge so the damage drops off faster and it has a lower minimum damage, but 9mm is generally going to hit you harder than 5.56 in its ideal range

[fervent grotto]

I want a .700 nitro express in the game

I would absolutely love that

[next onyx]

I thought that the M5a3 with high calibre rounds just straight up made it into a battle rifle with some merit but no.

[fervent grotto]

Double barrel, .700 nitro express

[tacit sphinx]

it's not clear what high power rounds actually are, on weapons where you can see the rounds and there's no difference in size so it could just be interpreted as like a higher pressure cartridge

[night vessel]

No fucking way that standard mag does more damage on scar wtf is this man

[next onyx]

Which is proven in its ballistics cause if I remember correctly, Guns armed with it have a higher muzzle velocity.

Just a shame certain guns have lower velocities than other guns armed with standard.

[karmic cobalt]

Yeah those high power are basically just for longer range and higher recoil I guess

[night vessel]

Seems like it

Yeah don't use high power in close range it's not worth it

[forest snow]

drum mags shouldn't always be the default go to, there is a reason they are not really used that much in the military of combat.

[next onyx]

Good LCMG.

[fervent grotto]

But drum mags look way cooler

[solid imp]

I enjoyed the LCMG just felt like it "hiccuped" a bit every now and again when putting down a constant stream of fire if that makes sense.. .but also @fervent grotto lol fair point

[night vessel]

I love it I tier 1 it with the extended standard mag

Short barrel and she's a gamer

[forest snow]

meh they look awful i think personally.

[low timber]

Why aren’t you using Sym.gg? Would give a visual presentation.

[karmic cobalt]

Where box mag m5?

[tacit sphinx]

on stuff like the AK and the mp9 i'll have drum mags in reserve but run the extended mags as default

[next onyx]

After using the Scar H with the horizontal brake, Barely anything has recoil.

[fervent grotto]

To each their own. But if you gave me the choice between a ppsh with a stick mag or a drum mag I’m choosing the drum 100% of the tkme

[next onyx]

Standard extended are the best you can run on anything if possible really.

Good balance of rounds and reload speed.

[forest snow]

mean lets add some realism here and add a feeding issue with drum mags

[eternal storm]

or dont have drum mags at all

[fervent grotto]

Your a funny guy

[eternal storm]

the only weapon with a drum i want to see is tommy gun for funzies, obv box-mags for belt fed weapons is all good

[fervent grotto]

Naw I want a drum mag on everything. NTW-20 included

[eternal storm]

well itll be in the next cod prob so youll get your wish lol

[karmic cobalt]

Where muh drum mag revolver

[fervent grotto]

Idk how you’ll get a drum mag on the pump shotgun or the 45-70 but why not

[fervent grotto]

Ooooo thats interesting

[karmic cobalt]

I’m sure you can jerry rig it in there somehow

[forest snow]

heat shell deals with a drum mag k30.

[fervent grotto]

Drum msg on the PP-29

And no, the mag it has on it right now isn’t a drum mag. It’s a helical mag.

[karmic cobalt]

Nah nah, big ol box drum mag 👌

[placid echo]

I wanna try playing that new Featured Mode soon 😉

[solid imp]

sym.gg has always been good for this.. for example this looks right to me

[night vessel]

Yeah so it seems most of the mags damage outputs are all fucked

The ones that do 26 damage output for AR are AK, AC and scar with all standard issue ammo

[night vessel]

Standard mag is da way

But yeah if you want a gun that does 3 shot kill just use the DM7

It does 35 damage output in close to mid range

[stone cradle]

they had evidence since launch that barely anybody likes 128 players

[tacit sphinx]

there are pump shotguns with detachable box magazines which you could definitely replace with a drum mag

why you would, i don't know, but you can

i think there are also lever action guns with detachable magazines so it's the same case of you can but you... probably wouldn't

[velvet sand]

eyyy, 128 flashback conquest. Hopefully this means they're testing maps to see if they can copy them over to AOW or something

[placid echo]

inb4 rigged

It's so nice to play a game mode that you made with actual people :D

[eternal storm]

what game mode

[placid echo]

This one

[languid geyser]

Hey guys! I didnt played for months. Did they add new maps??

[tiny imp]

No

[still vault]

But the large 4.0 patch was released last month.
#game-news

[scenic tartan]

128 player flashback is so bad

128 players should be removed entirely it's bad in everything

[next onyx]

How bad does it play? Just zergs and shit performance?

[empty portal]

What’s the weekly mission? Or is it not there yet?

[next onyx]

No new one yet.

[nova torrent]

new weeklies come out every thursday

[hidden sand]

Damn still no news today

If only DICE realized they don't need to treat everything they do like an area 51 secret lol

[arctic grove]

Petition for 256 player count?

[hollow verge]

when the next update?

[mossy badge]

noooo

[radiant prism]

This month apparently?

[arctic grove]

y not

[mossy badge]

10,000 vs 10,000

[arctic grove]

june

[mossy badge]

[radiant prism]

They’ve mentioned an update this month, but we’ve not yet heard anything

[arctic grove]

Yeah, well the important one next next month

[velvet sand]

Well that's disappointing to hear (here and elsewhere) that flashback conquest 128 is apparently an unfun mess. Still blown away it took DICE/Ripple 7 months to start using Portal as the testbed it seemed initially to be designed as.

[scenic tartan]

the sniper mode is fun and its probably by design but its a little too hard to find enemies

the spawn system isnt the greatest either but you cant do much about that

I wonder if it might be a better mode if there were teams so that you had a kind of general direction of where the enemies come from

The idea of using distance as score is awesome though

really nice how it tracks all that

[radiant prism]

Talk to Recon Riptor! He designed it lol

[scenic tartan]

yeah i know

[placid echo]

You can use the Soflam, I think it's better to use that over the ammo crate tbh

I do enjoy the new formula they incorporated for score and it even says if the shot is far or close

[scenic tartan]

thats a good call thats probably why i was losing lol

idk if portal rules allow for it but if you could increase the range of the proximity sensor for that mode it could work

[placid echo]

You can also use an insertion beacon if you think you found a good spot. Also, pro-tip don't try to get on that one tower on Renewal. I tried getting up there and maybe 6 sniper bullets immediately began ripping at my location

[bitter hill]

bf1 and bf5 has some nice breakable houses, throw a nade in a room and the whole room is gone, the roof is gon the floor is gone but the house still standing

[placid echo]

maybe not a nade? Dynamite would definitely get rid of a roof though

A nade would get rid of tables, windows and doors though

[bitter hill]

dynamite yes

it was really cool

[placid echo]

I also suggest using either Paik or Rao for Distance Master since if you get shot as Rao, they got spotted for you and if you shoot someone as Paik they get spotted.

Of course using Mackay is one of the better choices because of the movement speed when aiming down sights. Sundance is also usable afaik.

[low timber]

Did you really forget one of the snipers favorite? Irish and his shields.

[placid echo]

From what I can tell there are no character gadgets involved in the mode whatsoever

[low timber]

Tho I must admit I have never used a sniper with him

Oh.

[pine cove]

someone pls ping me

[arctic grove]

L game

[grizzled whale]

L opinion

@placid echo 500 points is wayyyyyy too low imo

takes like 3 minutes for someone to get that

[placid echo]

So far all of matches were about 9 minutes long

My original scoring system had like 15 minute matches

[grizzled whale]

yeah i dont really like this mode

[scenic tartan]

irish is only good because he gets armor on spawn and picked up from other dropped weapons

[grizzled whale]

maps are wayyyyy too big and it ends too fast

[scenic tartan]

So you could potentially survive longer

[grizzled whale]

its like 5-6 kills and thats it

[placid echo]

Good luck picking up armor as Irish in this mode tho

[grizzled whale]

some times you cant even find anyone for a long time because the maps are massive

[scenic tartan]

yeah its pretty rare lol

The maps should be big though so you can get those long range shots

[placid echo]

Try using Soflam

Also, unless the opponent is using a suppressor, they'll be spotted on the map. You can bring up the map still.

[topaz field]

1002/1200 of sundance helmet still going since early access

My birthday next month devs you better give me the green and yellow one for my birthday

[grizzled whale]

if the max score was like 1000 it would be more fun, but this just ends too fast

no time for a comeback at all

[topaz field]

[grizzled whale]

and yeah smaller maps

i was in the lead by 300 points, and by the time i managed to spot an enemy with soflam someone else won @placid echo

its using 64 player maps for 21 snipers

1 minute 47 second match

[placid echo]

Yeah if it was like 750 score or so that'd be a little better

[grizzled whale]

1000

and somehow someone was using a full auto weapon

i do love myself some good shots tho

[tacit sphinx]

cuts off before the shot lands

[grizzled whale]

oh damn

kinda looks like i missed

[placid echo]

Yeah its not a good video on my end, I'm on mobile data lol

[grizzled whale]

doesnt say much anymore, my mobile data is faster than my wifi

@placid echo you sohuldnt be able to use armor right

and theres people someone having faster firerate than possible on the SWS

yeah okay i had fun but now theres hackers GG altf4

this seems abnormaly fast or is it just me?

actually shots 2 shots at the same time too

[velvet sand]

That seems abnormally fast.

[grizzled whale]

you can even see 2 smoke trails

hmmmmmmmm, sus
