battlefield-2042

[forest snow]

Ready for that 4090 to with my 1600psu ha

[radiant prism]

My laptop came with a 3070

[next onyx]

I upgraded from a PC with an AMD Phenom II, gigs of DDr3 and AMD Radeon 5800 HD.

[forest snow]

How hot does it get?

[radiant prism]

Very lol

But I run the fan on turbo mode so its fine

[forest snow]

Dammm couldn’t do AMD intel fanboy

[next onyx]

When i met up with the boys, One of them brought his laptop with a 3060 and that got so FUCKING hot.

[forest snow]

Poor fan

[next onyx]

In my defence I got my computer for free.

[radiant prism]

I know lol

[forest snow]

That’s fair ha

[next onyx]

I'm an AMD Fanboy to shit but that PC was OLD.

[edgy oriole]

What was the prediction? Lol

[next onyx]

I do like Nvidias software.

[forest snow]

Yea never had any issues with nvidia or intel to be fair

The 1200k can get a little hot though and I can only have 32gb off ram not 64

[next onyx]

Hearing the power consumption of Nividas later hardware has me concerned but it's not like I'll be replacing this card with a 4000 series. I'm just gonna make a completely new PC in 5 years time.

[grizzled whale]

only issue i have is with 2042, when you open the overlay your mouse is locked in game, cant actually navigate trough the menu easily

[next onyx]

That too.

[fervent grotto]

PC players saying big numbers and words that my old gen console doesn’t understand

[next onyx]

I always windows out and turn it on.

[forest snow]

Yea 40 series is looking at 1000w to 1200

[next onyx]

The higher the number the better the hardware. :))))

Yeah the only finishing touches I'm going to do for this PC is more storage, a better fan and much later on a better CPU that'll last for like 5 to 6 years.

[forest snow]

To be fair the series x and ps5 versions of the game look great and their version off RT looks good to just performs like ass

[next onyx]

Yeah the series X is an amazing little piece of hardware.

And the ps5.

[fervent grotto]

Typically the opposite for xbox

[next onyx]

Infact it's illegal.

[forest snow]

My series x playing 2042 did run hot and pumped a lot off hot air out

[fervent grotto]

I wanna get a series x so bad but I don’t want to go poor plus I want to get a car

[next onyx]

Yeah that's true ranger. It becomes a jet engine.

A rocket launcher.

[queen crypt]

Is the stuttering fixed?

[next onyx]

Yeah.

[forest snow]

Yea

[next onyx]

Performance is back to normal.

[queen crypt]

Excellent

[forest snow]

But breaks something else

[queen crypt]

Not excellent

[forest snow]

1 shot guns

[next onyx]

Shotguns are broken?

[forest snow]

No the GVT

[next onyx]

Oh yeah that.

I've just been enjoying the SCAR way too much.

[forest snow]

M5a3 with hybrid scope and high power 20 round mag for me

[next onyx]

Just feels unreal how good it is, Getting triple sprays with such an accurate weapon.

I loved running it like that in the beta.

[forest snow]

The high power rounds now drop people so quickly

[next onyx]

On the m5? It's always been sorta good.

[forest snow]

Get it looking as close as poss the to mcx lancer

[next onyx]

Considering we have the MCX Spear it would be cool to see the MPX.

Cause they use the same firing mechanisms.

[forest snow]

But when they add the stg44 to AOW HINT Alex that’s my main

[next onyx]

It would be nice to see the m60 and AS VAL added.

But the BAR would be cool to see too.

[forest snow]

Just no attachments to the ww2 weapons let’s not vanguard them

[next onyx]

Vanguard do be funny.

Honestly they're made to function well off without attachments which is pretty fine.

[tiny imp]

Friday Night Battlefield Yaooo

[forest snow]

The stg44 above my PC on the wall cries when My friends show me the customisation choices for stg in that game

[next onyx]

But I wouldn't mind it if we could attach suppressors and just attach a modern RDS on them just to compete better if they're on the 2042 soldiers.

KEK.

I do have an STG to show you actually. It's not vanguard but it's from 5.

[grizzled whale]

when you give up but one of your bullets doesnt

[forest snow]

On V all I ran was the stg with the grass on the hand-guard and the rest in mint

Keep everything as accurate as possible and hide with the tiger in the bushes with the foliage on

[next onyx]

Goddammit I had a variant with Megaladon on it.

I actually loved that skin.

[forest snow]

Was lucky on V getting the bundle with wild eagle bundle

Never was released again

Hope we get the AI skins to use they look great!

[next onyx]

Oh I'm so annoyed I didn't get that.

[forest snow]

There are no skins on 2042 so far we have that I think that’s amazing

Dozer T1 looks great but that’s all

[honest comet]

um there are amazing skins tho lol

[velvet sand]

Man, almost like it's a personal opinion.

[forest snow]

Where? rao headgear from last week is good but rest are meh

[grizzled whale]

the SWS skin tho

tactical beanie god tier too

[forest snow]

Mean if you love nerf guns yea

[grizzled whale]

mackay flight suit

[forest snow]

Maybe yea I have angel t1 gear and the snow helmet on

[grizzled whale]

you are only experiencing angel at 50% power then

[forest snow]

Keep as many of them covered up feels battlefield that way

[grizzled whale]

equip the beanie

[celest oar]

now I'm not even able to play conquest 64, after loading it just black screen

[honest comet]

@forest snow the ones u have to grind obviously

[forest snow]

Only t1 I haven’t got is boris and his is meh

Correction sundance t1 helmet is good

[honest comet]

thats ur personal taste tho

and i think they are good

[velvet sand]

man, it's almost like opinions on all cosmetics is subjective personal opinons

[forest snow]

The data minded stuff looks promising though

[next onyx]

I found my STG.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/582571931371438090/873225590835146812/7-08-2021_12-49-05_AM-zzj5ieuy.png

@forest snow

[honest comet]

um i dont like it lol

[forest snow]

A lot going on there ha

[next onyx]

Hehe spiky boy.

To be honest tier 1 looks amazing on the guns but as a specialist outfit it's sorta eh.

[forest snow]

Loose the crazy grip and the red dot and all is good ha

[forest snow]

Yea caspers isn’t bad at least we can mix and match the head and torso

[next onyx]

I can get rid of that sight but I can't get rid of that grip!

The 44's irons aren't too bad but there's something about the reflex that kinda just works?

[forest snow]

Irons are all you need maybe the scope you can equip. Pretty much ran irons on all my guns

K98 with irons and bayonet

[next onyx]

I would run irons and AA sights for the longest times but I got more comfortable using Nydars and reflexes since I just cared for what works.

[forest snow]

Yea most is all personal choice.

Just wish I could remove the m320 from the scar

[next onyx]

Sorta same but I do like its utility.

[fervent grotto]

Bro I wish. Why did they make it permanent? It’s so pointless

[soft swallow]

Cool set

[crisp junco]

What is this vanguard gun

[soft swallow]

Can I punch him?

[crisp junco]

The gun?

[torpid vortex]

when it's your last bullet and your name isn't taking anything seriously

[uncut bay]

To make it different I guess

[cobalt trail]

scar is in a weird spot with the whole underbarrel thing. being forced to use it sucks but without it its just a slower AK

[next onyx]

With standard ammo yeah.

It's got a good damage range though now.

[cobalt trail]

yeah i think with the recent buffs it could distinguish itself better

[next onyx]

It finally having a proper model honestly is what it needed.

Reduction of its awkward recoil too.

[frosty mural]

to any devs reading :
The info under angel still says he gives armor - might need to change that

[next onyx]

It would have some weird horizontal drift.

[cobalt trail]

yeah that horizontal recoil on it was absurd

[next onyx]

Yeah I did notice that too.

It's just messed up cleaving through three people in a single mag.

[cobalt trail]

gun was uncontrollable unless you had a cracked out setup and played at like 100 fov

[uncut bay]

I play on 110 and I can confirm it was not controllable

[next onyx]

It wasn't too horrid vertically but it was definitely strong. But now it just beams.

[dapper river]

did this patch fix the server stuttering?

[uncut bay]

Yes

[dapper river]

pretty based of them to do it before the weekend

[solar minnow]

The GVT is amazing

One shot body shots makes it the best gun

[stark owl]

Haven’t had a chance to play yet but is the stuttering fixed?

I’m hearing hit and miss for some people

[full burrow]

Can we have infantry conquest but with decent maps?

[velvet sand]

No, you'll play 2042 maps and you'll like it.

[velvet sand]

It's hit or miss so far, no way to know if it'll work for you without trying it.

[stark owl]

I just need to be off work already lol 😂

[full burrow]

lol I just got put into a game of like 14 people total

[honest comet]

is it possible to do sharp turn with plane?

[stark owl]

2042 is starting to feel really nice so I just want it to work

[frosty mural]

~yes, i actually have good FPS too consistent 80 on High

[stark owl]

So apparently the best way to turn is have afterburners set to Manual control and constantly toggle it on and off while turning. Although sadly your your gonna be outpaced completely by the SU-50 no matter what

There used to be a minimum speed back in BF4 and they removed that feature

[dapper river]

shit did they buff it? i might actually be able to T1 it now

[forest snow]

So that gun basically is ruining the game now?

[honest comet]

noticed every time i meet it with f35 it always manages to manouver better

[rotund grail]

They are wrong AF

[velvet sand]

But they're the only people who matter to DICE/EA, so they're actually right.

[rotund grail]

According to their latest tweet, now all BT maps are the 64 maps, which really sucks.

[velvet sand]

Why care about people who just give you money, when you can care about people who give you money AND tons of free promotion?

[velvet sand]

Yeah, I've already asked for a refund since the whole reason I bought this game is gone now. No dice. Instead I'm just not playing until hopefully player numbers crash hard enough that they're forced to reverse course.

[jovial quest]

Anyone else have been enjoying the GVT

[honest comet]

werent u ppl saying breaktrough 128 is trash and should be 64? lol

[rotund grail]

I was just playing Breakthrough last night after the patch. 64 players on 128 player maps was working well.

[jovial quest]

Yea they are but they like to complain about everything

[honest comet]

its just sad

[jovial quest]

Indeed

[velvet sand]

What, that DICE can't stop shooting themselves in the foot?

[rotund grail]

The vocal minority was bitching about 128 BT.

[honest comet]

that u cry here every single day

[jovial quest]

Then why don’t you go work for them

[honest comet]

and change opinions more then u change ur socks

[velvet sand]

You just can't let go of those strawmen.

[jovial quest]

[velvet sand]

I don't live in Sweden or speak Swedish and kinda wouldn't want to work at DICE right now anyways, dude. I'm a consumer lol, what a dumb thing to say.

[honest comet]

ur annoying crybaby thats what u are

[jovial quest]

You seem like your a dev

[honest comet]

poor bussyness that has u as a customer lol

[jovial quest]

[velvet sand]

I'm a critical consumer disappointed with the quality of the product and service I purchased, who has been hoping for improvements, yes. Is there something wrong with that? Or is this fanboy 101 "any criticism is just dumb haters and game is perf"

[honest comet]

ur just bot that is cryin to be popular or heal complexes

[velvet sand]

(see, that's a strawman too!)

[jovial quest]

Then Don’t pre order

[velvet sand]

I mean, technically I did, but during early access so I basically purchased the game at launch. Got any other wise words of wisdom?

[honest comet]

did u get refund?

[velvet sand]

Nope, wasn't expecting one at this point because it's been so long. But was sure hoping they'd give one given that they legit removed the whole-ass reason I bought this game and play it (128p breakthrough)

[jovial quest]

Your fault for not checking the reviews

[velvet sand]

Ah yes, all those quality reviews giving the game 9/10 at launch. Ace stuff. Got any other galaxy brain takes for the chat?

[honest comet]

u were saying u didnt play game in while lol

how come now u miss 128 p breaktrough

[jovial quest]

Clearly you don’t know what YouTube is

[velvet sand]

I've played less due to the continued poor quality, yes. But that doesn't mean I wasn't ever planning on playing again. Jesus you can't see the world in color or nuance, can you? It's all black or white.

[jovial quest]

That’s ok though I wouldn’t expect you to know

[honest comet]

hes just lieing

got cought lol

[jovial quest]

[velvet sand]

Ah yes, lemme check out Jackfrags and others praising the game at launch and shit too.

[jovial quest]

Bruh even they said the game is ass

Clearly your brain dead

[velvet sand]

Caught what? Ya'll are a bunch of fanboi clowns who can't accept that people are still critical of DICE's poor handling of the game and bad decisions. I was here for S1, I've been sticking with the game through the garbage 7 months of post-launch where they've done fuckall.

[jovial quest]

Yes

[honest comet]

u said u dont play game at all few days ago

[jovial quest]

I play this game 11 hours a day

[velvet sand]

Yo, quote that shit bro.

[honest comet]

now u suddenly play and want the mode back

[jovial quest]

Cope

[velvet sand]

I got the Gold edition, want me to post a screenshot of it in my Origin library?

[honest comet]

also back then u said as well that 128 mode is trash and u dont even play it

now suddenly its ur favourite mode

[velvet sand]

fuckin lol, you're literally delisional bro, this is hilarious

[jovial quest]

Cry

[honest comet]

nah im just saying what u said lol

[velvet sand]

jesus, fanbois are just worth ignoring, guess it's time to use that feature

[honest comet]

dude thats ur words

[velvet sand]

quote it, loser

[honest comet]

i dont need to, i was there talkin with you about it

[velvet sand]

quote it, loser

[honest comet]

ur brain is indeed dead lol

[velvet sand]

quote it, loser

[jovial quest]

@honest comet just let him be not worth wasting your time on this guy

[honest comet]

he got cought lol

[velvet sand]

quote it, loser

[honest comet]

i gib up but im screenshotin this for ur future comments 🙂

[velvet sand]

quote it, loser

[next onyx]

Just calm it.

[jovial quest]

[velvet sand]

I mean, if they're gonna lie about my opinions as if they're inside my head, I'm gonna call them out for lying like liars.

[next onyx]

Seriously. Knock it off with the insults nor do we need people to insennuate it.

[honest comet]

u legit said that stuff lol

[velvet sand]

quote it

[stark owl]

Yikes

[honest comet]

i dont screenshot every conversation i have on servers lol

[jovial quest]

[honest comet]

u just prove by ur reactions its truth

[jovial quest]

Thunder based

[honest comet]

and i wouldnt lie if it didnt happen

[silk surge]

It's crazy that DICE could release a massive 400 bugfix patch with almost no additional gamebreaking bugs (except you know the invisibility thing).... But a small patch broke the game for PC players.

[jovial quest]

Indeed

[junior pike]

[velvet sand]

So you can't quote it, cool. Thanks, liar.

[jovial quest]

@junior pike that pfp tho

[honest comet]

lol okay if it makes u feel better but we both know its true

[velvet sand]

so quote it, it's your claim, back it up with evidence

[honest comet]

at least be a man and stand behind ur words

[velvet sand]

I can do this all day, dude. Quote it, bro.

[jovial quest]

Arguing over 2042

[stark owl]

Please don’t do this all day

[jovial quest]

[honest comet]

i wont ill let him be lol

[junior pike]

Friends, what kind of game do you think 2042 is?

[wide shore]

And they get their stuttering fixed within a day. And us Series X players still have to suffer from our awful framerate problems since launch.

[honest comet]

its good game atm @junior pike

[hexed mango]

hotfix

[next onyx]

It's... what it is.

[stark owl]

How bout we all just act like Angel and just say this is just how it works out sometimes

[next onyx]

It's ok.

[velvet sand]

This is the correct take.

[next onyx]

What I said was vague.

Which I followed up with an ok.

[honest comet]

hes not the smartest one tho lol

[next onyx]

Dude is tilted. No need to push it.

[stark owl]

We’re all a little tilted lol

[velvet sand]

I'm not tilted, Thunder is legit lying about my previous comments.

[wide shore]

I’m like, halfway tilt

[velvet sand]

I'm just correcting him since he can't actually provide a quote of his claim of my opinion.

Simple as that. If I'm tilted at anything, it's at DICE for removing the mode that's why I bought 2042.

[honest comet]

sure yeah just admit it loo

i mean doesnt even matter, i dont have time for that so just change subject allready lol

[stark owl]

I’m gonna be straight honest.. breakthrough 128 was cancer personally

[honest comet]

u see sonic stand behind his words at least 🙂

respect ++

[wide shore]

I thought BT 128 was fun chaos. And would probably be so much better without the Bolte spam now.

[next onyx]

The biggest issue I've had with 128p is how badly designed the maps are around it.

[vale pier]

128 players should be removed from all modes imo

[velvet sand]

Like, can mods do something about thunder constantly lying about me or something? OR do fanbois get extra protection for being jerks?

[wide shore]

How to make me quit playing 2042

[honest comet]

oh so im not allowed to say truth? lol

[velvet sand]

So. Prove. It.

[next onyx]

Plus with 128p. It doesn't improve the scale it just increases the volume of players rushing at you.

[honest comet]

omg u dont give up dont u

[uncut bay]

he was doing the same thing yesterday, don't bother

[velvet sand]

Show your work to the class, sweetheart.

[honest comet]

yea yea ur right, happy? we can move on? lol

[stark owl]

Like I get why people liked it because of the chaos but to me it was a bit too chaotic for my liking. The most chaos I’ll stand is metro chaos lol but there was just nothing you could do to take back or hold a objective in breakthrough

[next onyx]

Can you two just stop. Seriously. Just move on.

[cedar turtle]

False. Only I am right.

[honest comet]

if it makes u happy then its great lol

[chilly jacinth]

CQ 128 is mostly fine imo

[cedar turtle]

I'm getting deju vu. We're all arguing about stupid shit we can't change.

[chilly jacinth]

Breakthrough 128 on the other hand is imo garbage

[vale pier]

Map design was based around this and it's why they suck. I doubt the maps would be so bad if the game was 64 players max

[stark owl]

If you like 128 breakthrough then go off my son enjoy it but if you don’t your entitle to that opinion

[wide shore]

What can we change though? Getting DICE to look at the Series X awful performance stuttering on Hourglass, Discarded & Manifest.

[hard plume]

Yea and that was fucking fun

[hard plume]

We can’t, they removed or we would

[wide shore]

64 player conquest is an option in the game. And it sucks. The maps are even worse.

[honest comet]

thats why u buy ps5 instead lol @wide shore

[stark owl]

I’m just saying if you did enjoy it

[next onyx]

I just didn't enjoy the fact that hey, getting constantly farmed by vehicles due to the increased volume, it also messed with performance.

[wide shore]

Or they can just fix it.

[vale pier]

If it isn't a PC issue, they don't care. Series X performance issue since day 1, they don't give a shit

[stark owl]

Agreed

[honest comet]

could be agreed lol

[velvet sand]

"lol just buy new hardware because they released a bad game on old hardware, were you expecting a functional product for your money?" - fanbois, apparently

[vale pier]

Yeh, because the maps were made for 128 players, 64 player versions were an afterthought

[wide shore]

Believe me. I know. Been dealing with it since day 1.

[hard plume]

I mean that’s cool, it’s not for everyone. That doesn’t mean they should’ve removed it

[honest comet]

dude doesnt even get a joke

[next onyx]

Playing breakthrough 128 with 64 players is just so boring.

[honest comet]

and hes still not quitting lol

[next onyx]

Yeah I agree but maybe just so many less people played that over 64p and didn't think it was worth it.

[wide shore]

Exactly. Removing 128p conquest wound just suck ass.

[next onyx]

Weird censor.

[velvet sand]

huh, didn't think I'd typed anything that would even get within a mile of autoremove

[hard plume]

@velvet sand has anyone made a portal version yet?

[junior pike]

When will the first season trailer be released？

[next onyx]

I think maybe it saw a blacklisted link? But yeah it's just running simulators.

[hard plume]

Yes

[junior pike]

[velvet sand]

non-mods can't say that last term, apparently : |

[wide shore]

SOONtm

[next onyx]

That's my issue. Breakthrough is less of a running simulator but it's still pretty well.

Nahhh the dots must have made a link.

[junior pike]

Soooooooon

[karmic cobalt]

Alright boys time for the half-hourly “when do we get season 1” question

[next onyx]

Try not doing the dots.

[honest comet]

bf was always running simulator tho lol

[next onyx]

It hasn't been this bad in the grand scheme of things.

[velvet sand]

Is that why DICE specifically highlighted that feedback as an area where they want/need to improve maps?

[next onyx]

And even on that people stick to certain objectives for action.

[hard plume]

Idk, i remember doing a lot of running back in bf4

[honest comet]

jez u just cant give up cant u lol

[wide shore]

I will say though. The aim assist after 4.1 is actually, finally, useable.

[velvet sand]

But ye, CQ was always more running, but that's why I liked breaktthrough - less running and a lot more focus on the action.

[next onyx]

That's bf4.

[honest comet]

agreed

at last lol

[hard plume]

Yes, the greatest bf

[next onyx]

Breakthrough and more action that's the beauty of it.

[wide shore]

[next onyx]

Eh. Battlefield 4 has aged poorly with broken movement, vehicle dominated maps and aged gunplay.

It was good for its time!

[velvet sand]

but 2042 made it worse than in any BF game I can remember, BF1/V weren't as bad int erms of running everywhere, at least.

[crisp junco]

I beg to differ

[hard plume]

You dang young people, get off my lawn!

[next onyx]

Yeah those running simulator moments were few and far between. Panzerstorm, Al sundan and hamada were the worst examples.

[wide shore]

Wasn’t even that great for it’s time tbh. Levolution was cool, until it wasn’t. BF3 was overall much better.

[next onyx]

Future is now old man!

Reeeeeee!

[hard plume]

😩

[wide shore]

I wish I was young still.

[crisp junco]

I havent played anything that isnt a greyhound on panzerstorm so the in map movement seems fine to me

[next onyx]

If there's one weapon that i want from bf4 into 2042 it would be the ACE galil.

Cool little gun.

[wide shore]

Panzerstorm was an instant quit server for me

[next onyx]

That's wheel simulator not running simulator.

But I get what you mean. It's not as painful on vehicles for obvious reasons.

[wide shore]

ACE was cool. It was definitely the best gun in the game.

[next onyx]

I can stand panzerstorm cause at least Provence is after it.

[haughty dagger]

I want a version of the MTAR and ACWR

[next onyx]

I love the galil series. IMI and ACE are just cool guns.

[crisp junco]

I feel the f2000 and p90 would fit the futuristic vibe of 2042 quite well

[next onyx]

Yeah actually the p90 would certainly fit.

[crisp junco]

For me thats al sundan

[next onyx]

Technically the f2000 kinda phased out recently but I can imagine some variation.

[wide shore]

Provence was great. I’d find servers that started on Provence so I could avoid Panzerstorm

[next onyx]

Remember Provence 24/7?

That was king,

That was FUN.

Even though it was a farming simulator with tanks

It's how I got my 150+ killstreak in a sherman too.

I was so happy.

[wide shore]

I had a game once where I setup an MG42 in the window of that middle building in the town right at the start of the round. And their whole team came rushing out of the alley and into my MG fire.

[cedar turtle]

all guns will be 3D-printed in 2042.

[next onyx]

I usually scream when I have a large influx of people headed my way.

I couldn't imagine what you felt.

[crisp junco]

Wait is there a ksg9 in 2042?
If no then it would also fit it since the double feeding tube system is kinda a futuristic idea

[wide shore]

“Holy shit they keep coming!”

[next onyx]

Actually advanced warfare's IMR was probably the most creative gun in the gun.

There's no KSG but yeah it would be cool seeing it.

[copper fulcrum]

Was that the self-printing ammo one?

[next onyx]

We have a Saiga and a 880 MCS.

Yeah that one.

[crisp junco]

If they do add it i would love for them to utilize the double feeding system to actually let you have buckshot in one barrel and slugs in the other ect.

[next onyx]

Who knows. Probably literally too complicated for dual ammo types but its a good idea.

[copper fulcrum]

There's very few games that showcase the actual reload process of a KSG

[next onyx]

I know the burton could switch between fire and regular but since they have the same damage model who knows,

[edgy oriole]

Oh shiii. Well hopefully it doesn't suck as bad as yesterday lmao.

[next onyx]

Actually the general liu rifle can do but you know. Going from slug to frag will be a bit complicated.

[copper fulcrum]

Plus System

[wide shore]

I loved the general Liu after they added the ammo switch

So fun to switch between semi and bolt

Best one though was converting the Springfield with the Peterson device to a normal bolt action by equipping K bullets. That animation of re-adding the Bolte is pure ecstasy

[next onyx]

He means two shells loaded at once.

[copper fulcrum]

It made it a combo of like the Cei Rigotti and the Gewehr 98

[wide shore]

Also, pretty sure the Burton rounds did not use the same damage profiles. The incendiary rounds were not as good against infantry. But were great against planes. And the opposite for the normal rounds.

[fervent grotto]

The KSG doesn’t work like that but who knows maybe since it’s 2042 they’ll have a KSG able to do that

[copper fulcrum]

There is a shotgun that can do this, hol'up lemme find the name

[fervent grotto]

Isn’t it also a kel Tec one?

It’s got like 4 tubes that hold 4 shells

[copper fulcrum]

SRM Arms Model 1216

[fathom maple]

Elevator Dings remember.. No Russian

[fervent grotto]

Think it was Kentucky ballistics that did a vid on it

[copper fulcrum]

https://youtu.be/mDdzvKi3yiE

Four Tubes for four different ammo types

[grizzled whale]

QUIT DOING POT AT MY RANGE

[hexed mango]

hopefully

[crisp junco]

But like
It has 2 tubes with a button to switch between em

I feel like you could load 2 diffrent shells without causing too many issues

[runic prism]

Did the update changed a lot on ps5 or just the game

[radiant prism]

Played the hotfix, everything seemed fine

[bitter skiff]

I hear the g 45-70 is the way to go now!!!!

Turns the match into hardcore mode for everyone else!

[radiant prism]

Yeah the 45-70 appears to be bugged

[next onyx]

Yeah it one hit kills within 20m.

I'm gonna abuse the fuck out of it.

[radiant prism]

Oh well, only saw one person using it

[bitter skiff]

Cant wait to play later

[next onyx]

The scar has been a lot of fun though.

[radiant prism]

Yeah I tried the scar out, running the standard issue rounds were great

[next onyx]

High powered is incredible.

It feels dirty getting a three man in a single mag.

[radiant prism]

I struggled with the kick, but I might just need to swap out my attachments a bit

[next onyx]

It's not that difficult to control at times.

[radiant prism]

But the damage output was fantastic

[next onyx]

I certainly need to practice with it.

[radiant prism]

Might’ve just been me though, the AK-24 felt a bit bouncier than usual and I normally can laser with that thing

[next onyx]

After vanguards gree week I should certainly finish angel off.

[radiant prism]

I finished Angel a while ago

[next onyx]

Probably cheese Rao or falck.

[radiant prism]

Now I just don’t use him lol

Also I do like the weekly skin but I wish it didn’t have the face paint

It’s not egregious like the dragon spirit paint from BFV but it’s just not my first choice either

I’d love a darker helmet to run with the torso because I really like that camo pattern

[next onyx]

Dragon spirit was funny, this one is just bad.

[copper fulcrum]

hehe

[radiant prism]

Nah it’s not terrible tbh

[radiant prism]

[copper fulcrum]

I mean, Dragon Spirit was Chinese (WHICH ISN'T IN THE GAME) and what we have in 2042 is Korean face paint on a Korean

[next onyx]

They really need to give angel a proper use asides from providing broken ass armour.

Easy complete ammo resupply for guns and +1 gadget ammo.

[radiant prism]

Maybe go all in with the call-in drops? Call in fortifications and such?

[next onyx]

And the same with his ammo pouches except have the gadget resupply on a 5 10 second cooldown.

Dudes centred around ammo so I would primarily do that.

[copper fulcrum]

DROP IN A FUCKNG HOUSE

[next onyx]

Or you know, actually balance armour and give it back to him.

[radiant prism]

Fair lol

[next onyx]

Have what I keep suggesting, make it a flak jacket and provide protection against environmental damage with no direct effect to gunplay. But the ammo idea I kinda like a bit more.

[copper fulcrum]

It feels weird not having a regular M4 in a modern Battlefield game

Although the Sig Spear is now actually accurate to have

[radiant prism]

NGL? I get bored with M4-type rifles for the most part

Visually…they’re just not that appealing unless they’re super decked out with attachments

[next onyx]

It's nice to have the standard rifles but if there's some other variety than it's all good.

[radiant prism]

Ye, for sure

[next onyx]

M416 is nice to have, I love that rifle but I would also love either an IMI or ACE galil.

Gimme a bf4 era ACE galil to abuse thanks dice.

[copper fulcrum]

You will get shit and you'll love it

[shell ermine]

I still had the game installed so I decided, against my better judgement, to give it a go again since not playing since December...

Did they actually change anything? It still feels the same, controls like ass on controller, SMGs are still dominant, wallhacks abound... what has DICE been doing for 7 months?

[next onyx]

The irony is that the MCX spear is that it's probably the most interesting M- platform rifle as of late.

Well I wanted to use the SCAR H and I didn't like it's damage model.

So I just drifted to other guns.

So if they make the ACE good then definitely.

Weapon variety is a bit better SG. Subbies are still good but the assault rifles are pretty good.

[shell ermine]

Lmao, just crashed

[dapper berry]

you really can't see any difference since the last time you played ?

[copper fulcrum]

Assault Rifles are definitely better, especially considering the average engagement distances

[shell ermine]

Honestly, no

[fervent grotto]

No there’s no button. You’d have to fire the first barrel to then fire out the second barrel.

[dapper berry]

a lot has changed since december, but there is still no content

[velvet sand]

Soon(TM)

[next onyx]

There's still motion sensor spam which is obnoxious but sadly that's that.

Would be better if it were a gadget.

[radiant prism]

I will say though…I kinda like the 64p breakthrough layouts.

[copper fulcrum]

EMG SCANNER ACTIVE

[radiant prism]

I miss 128p for sure, but the 64p layouts focus on the best parts of each map which is good

[copper fulcrum]

Paik and Irish shout a lot

[next onyx]

Breakaway turns from one of the worst maps to the best map on 64p breakthrough.

[dapper berry]

except for hourglass, how i wish there was a sector in the stadium

[next onyx]

And I'm being genuine saying this.

[radiant prism]

Yeah me too, but tbf 128p didn’t have it either

[next onyx]

Honestly a sector in the stadium would be amazing but at the same time pretty fucking bad lol.

[velvet sand]

I'm still so mad they don't use the stadium for anything in breakthrough. Having reversable layouts where that was the final point would have been so freaking badass.

[radiant prism]

Yeah. It’s great on CQ, but it’s probably be a clusterfuck too far on BT

[velvet sand]

Only experienced the Stadium playing stuff like infantry-only CQ on that map and it's such a cool part of the map I'd legit never seen before.

[next onyx]

If there were more of the stadium I wouldn't be opposed.

Yeah I only sit in the stadium in conquest because I hate the rest of the map.

[cedar turtle]

A shrimp fried this rice?

[radiant prism]

Yeah it’s great on CQ, I’m just not sure it would lend itself well to breakthrough necessarily

[fervent grotto]

Yeah they really advertised the stadium but I feel like it’s very off to to the side

[dapper berry]

it would be a chaos sector, some people like chaos apparently seeing how many people complained about 128p BT being gone

[velvet sand]

Big yes. Best part of the map by far (though I'm biased since I always prefer areas focused more on infantry combat)

[next onyx]

I'm biased as well on parts that do better on infantry combat cause youre playing infantry for the majority of the game.

[velvet sand]

I AM AN AGENT OF CHAOS AND LOVE CHAOS. Seriously, the insane chaos of 128p was the best damned part of this game.

[next onyx]

They just need to patch it up a bit and not make the spawns so bad around there.

[stone cradle]

Hourglass needs a huge rework imo

[acoustic island]

I was playing this yesterday with me (Xbox series x) and my buddy (ps4) and with both of us playing the last gen version, we couldn’t get voice chat to work. He could hear me and I could hear him for a split second then not. Does anyone have a fix?

[arctic grove]

Facts and was their selling point too.

[next onyx]

Not sure sorry flea.

[arctic grove]

Kalidescope too

[velvet sand]

Maybe they'll get around to updating hourglass with some minor changes in S2 like they're doing for the two maps in S1.

[arctic grove]

hourglass and Kali are too open and bland

[stone cradle]

Most simple solution they can do is cut out the huge desert area and expand the city part.

Or just bring the stadium closer

[next onyx]

Remaster dawnbreaker.

Best thing they could do.

[arctic grove]

Or make a base in that open field.

[velvet sand]

Technical limitations, bro. They blow half their poly budgets on minor things in the maps that nobody ever notices.

[stone cradle]

That's actually true, I've seen a video on it, this game is horribly optimised.

[velvet sand]

"WE NEED ULTRA DETAILED HANDLES FOR THESE CRATES NOBODY LOOKS AT, USING 10X THE POLYGONS NECESSARY TO MAKE IT SIMPLY LOOK GOOD AT A CASUAL GLANCE!"

[next onyx]

Remastered dawn breaker with a bit more development up in the northern part would be sublime.

[dapper berry]

most maps do tbh

[next onyx]

Renewal on 64p conquest has a pretty good layout weirdly enough.

[velvet sand]

I'm curiuous to see how they roll out the changes for the 2 maps they're working on in S1, and how folks receive them. I can't say I'm terribly optimistic it will be the big improvements those maps need.

[next onyx]

I'm waiting for actions to speak for themselves so I can get excited.

It's how I can excited over games.

[stone cradle]

Yeah, that could work too

[shell ermine]

Its just more than annoying to get beamed at AR distances with the K30 by a PC player

[velvet sand]

Fingers crossed next month they blow everyone away...but wish I was more optimisitic : |

[stone cradle]

Have faith fam

[velvet sand]

I know, they're probably way ahead of schedule.

[stone cradle]

Yeah, it's 3 years in the making!

[velvet sand]

People working on it around the clock all over the world!

[uncut bay]

Can be done with a controller too, tap firing with the vector gets you far

[next onyx]

Bf5 sorta told me to keep my expectations down and just... wait.

If the game is going on a positive note I'll get excited.

[primal hinge]

We search Player for Rush Normal 2042. Server is online : Rush-Normal-Have Fun. Join 😉

[next onyx]

I still remember when the pacific trailer was dropped and that was when the game was starting to get good again.

Cause we had some good stable patches, a good month of battle week and then the pacific. They gave us weapons before the pacific even bloody launched and that was amazing.

[hearty flame]

And then the second ttk change dropped and stayed for all of winter again, killing their momentum

[next onyx]

We were so damn gutted.

[arctic grove]

I doubt. All the houses are empty asf

[hearty flame]

and that was compounded by Sirland leaving too i think. that made a lot of community members sad

[shell ermine]

At least they ended up fixing the ttk and BFV sits now, frozen, in a fantastic state

[fervent grotto]

2?

[arctic grove]

Dice really need to keep the 64BT layout of last gen to current gen. there is no way to fix that. 64bt on 128 maps is no fun at all.

[fervent grotto]

Did you say 2 maps? Only 2? Fr?

[velvet sand]

For s1, yes. Updates for other maps will happen later

[hearty flame]

ya launch map updates are moved to s2 iirc

[velvet sand]

No, Kaliedoscope and Renewal are supposed to be updated in S1.

[arctic grove]

BRO s2? at that point they might as well save those maps until the new bf game.

[hearty flame]

really? mustve read that patch note wrong then

[velvet sand]

It's in the map feedback loop thread. Those two maps are up for S1, IIRC the implication was that we'd get 1-2 reworks in each additional season.

[hearty flame]

well 7 launch maps works out for them at a 1-2 rework per season

[flat brook]

battlefield 2042 is the greatest battlefield game ive ever played

[stone cradle]

That's if, we have 1 map confirmed

Others are codenames in the code

[cedar turtle]

are you trying to start WWIII?

[arctic grove]

Im glad u like it pete davidson

[flat brook]

im glad ur a weeb

[arctic grove]

I am a weeb got a fucking problem pete?

[rough wigeon]

s1 early june 👀

[cedar turtle]

Guess what? Ariana is dating ME NOW

[oak compass]

i mean daaaamn the stripped to the bare bones now no one plays 😦

[timber pagoda]

i need whatever your smoking mate

[arctic grove]

if we all roleplaying then ill change to Tom

[cedar turtle]

Tom who? Tom HANKS

[arctic grove]

The better Tom

Holland?

Holland?

[velvet sand]

oh shit, when's that skin coming to 2042?!

[arctic grove]

In 2042

[velvet sand]

I hope I live to see that day.

[arctic grove]

No one can really top Fortnite with these collabs they keep doing

[arctic grove]

But Fortnite

[velvet sand]

I just want my Spider-Man (THE HYPEN IS IMPORTANT) Mackay skin.

[arctic grove]

Yesterday I took down 3 people with my G17 that just shows you bad you have to be at Battlefield

[next onyx]

The g57 isn't even a bad gun.

[arctic grove]

It’s quite good

[still vault]

I could take down people with a Logitech G17 keyboard too 😄

[next onyx]

Are you calling that 57 the 17 or you on about something else?

[arctic grove]

[velvet sand]

I wonder if the game can even handle helmet vs. body armor in terms of damage models. Armor seems to largley just be a bit of extra HP in general.

[fervent grotto]

No I meant new maps. Are we getting new maps and guns?

[velvet sand]

Yes. Supposedly 1 map, 1 specialist, guns (undefined number) and "other content". We have to wait for their update on S1 to find out exactly what it will be.

[fervent grotto]

You’re joking

[velvet sand]

No, check any of the game store pages and materials for S1. I assume/hope the standard for S1 has changed given the delay, but that's all they've committed to publicly.

[next onyx]

We'll have to wait to see what they do.

[fervent grotto]

A single map, a single specialist, and an undetermined amount of guns? 9 months for THAT?

[velvet sand]

It was supposed to be 3 months for that, actually. They delayed because the game was busted and they needed to fix it so folks would actually stick around when S1 launches.

[warped pulsar]

For the folks having stuttering, did the hotfix actually work?

[velvet sand]

Reports seem mixed so far. Worked for some folks, not so much for others.

[fervent grotto]

Wow. That’s so underwhelming

That sucks actual ass

[shell ermine]

Well they haven't fixed it yet

[velvet sand]

I assume/hope that they're delivering more in S1 to make up for the delay. Because otherwise I don't know what the "whole studio" has been working on all this time.

[shell ermine]

Hopefully Eastern Front content for BFV

[velvet sand]

I agree, but DICE seems to think the game is in a good enough state to start shipping content. And they kinda need to since they need to start earning money and trying to bring folks back given the continued low population.

[arctic grove]

Bf2042 is sponsored by Logitec

[velvet sand]

It is. No additional "live-service" for the game. They ended it to focus on 2042.

[sleek falcon]

I can’t believe how hard this game flopped, thanks for stealing my money!

[iron harness]

This game didnt flop, i think itsthe players that keep comparing this to other games. Dice really tried to curve us away from the arcade style type (COD) gameplay to be more decisive about the shots we take. The mojority of the community didnt look at this game with an open mind and appreciation for what was built. Incomplete or nah its one of the most immersive, tactical shooters out there thats marketed for adults

[velvet sand]

EA called sales a "disappointment", and like...this game is more like CoD than past BF games (though hardly much like CoD to begin with so I don't even get that comparison)

[arctic grove]

Bro bf fanbase wanted (and was expecting) a bf4.5 or a remastered.

[honest comet]

so what do u guys think, is the game now ready for season 1?

[arctic grove]

Its not rocket science. In fact if was suppposed to be an easy cash grab.

[honest comet]

like what would you like that is fixed?

[arctic grove]

[honest comet]

true dat

idk i just enjoy it without big expectations

[arctic grove]

Yes but for modern settings

[honest comet]

i think expectations make problems, ppl think they gonna get idk what from a game and it always ends bad

[arctic grove]

Id be happy if thet went back to V to add the russian faction and eastern front.

[honest comet]

ppl would complain then that game is too old and that they milkin it

[arctic grove]

Cant really blame the fanbase too tho. Everyone is sick and tired of Br games and Cod/apex and fortnut.

[honest comet]

true dat, im not blamin fans, im just sayin for every game in general

nowdays

before people werent needy so much, thats why we praise old titles too much even tho new ones are realisticly much better in general

thats why cyberpunk failed so badly, people wanted the game asap

[velvet sand]

Or..because the old titles were simply better. Yes, expectations increase over time with series, especially in-line with increased hype generated by more marketing spends.

...Cyberpunk was not released early because fans wanted it. It was released early because CDPR wanted to make money for their holiday quarter.

Especially given that the studio spent the entire marketing cycle lying about last-gen version being in development parity with current-gen/PC and...yeah that was a lie.

[honest comet]

thats not true, their devs had letters with death threats for not givin the game as fast as fans wanted

[velvet sand]

It had already been delayed like 3-4 times.

[honest comet]

yeah but better that then releasing unfinished game right

[velvet sand]

Shitty and in no way defending death threats because they're always awful, especially over videogames but like...yeah I don't buy this excuse in the slightest. Shitty people will always exist.

[iron harness]

I feel you all on what the devs menioned about this title being a “disappointment” but tbh it sounded like they just read their audience wrong. Hazard zone has soooooo mich potential. So mich so tomclancy had to step on an make extraction zone. All im saying that yes even though the gane will have its faults, its expected, but to have no voice chat an no scoreboard calling em “legacy” stuff, i was actually up for it. It taught me to slow down an use ping system an not rush everywhere. Also your team os somewhat responsive when tje chat wheel isused an that i couldnt have asked for more. Would anyone like to play FFA

[velvet sand]

CDPR simply lied about their progress, shipped the game too early because studio leadership was awful, and paid the price...sorta kinda because they still made money hand over fist.

[honest comet]

like i remember comments from everyone bein so angry about waiting for it

[arctic grove]

Hell yeah. look swbf1 and 2.. the classic ones were better in my opinion

[frank crater]

Have they nerfed the osprey and hind yet?

[arctic grove]

the remake versions look great yes but microtransactions and power cards ruined it for me.

[honest comet]

yeah but if u think about it a little bit, u will see they were not that much better and had much less options to do

[velvet sand]

IO don't think there were any changes to either in the patchnotes.

[arctic grove]

I was expecting swbf a battlefield game in space.

[frank crater]

Damn

[honest comet]

anyway in the end, it all comes down to not buyin the game before its released

at least thats how i do it

ill rather wait for them to fix it

and get it half price

[velvet sand]

AAA gaming in the 21st century: "Just wait until it's half off, it should be fixed by then anyways". WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE (this is about the industry more broadly)

[honest comet]

well its how it is lol

[iron harness]

What do you guys think about the videogame industy stepping up on their part to not release rated M games, but have trailers tailored for a young audience?

[velvet sand]

..wut?

[honest comet]

never tought about that lol

dont even know what u want to say with that tbh

[paper pollen]

video game industry is overstepping their bounds when requiring everybody being friends.

[iron harness]

Not have rated M games have this juvenile hype base around it@ kinda like how pubg in a sense( b4 free to play ofc)

@paper pollen thats reall asf!!

[wary hamlet]

The update makes the game feel much better. I've noticed that it's more snappy and fluid than before. I've tested it on Series X version not the the One X version yet. Happy about this improvement

[velvet sand]

"juvenile" is fairly subjective. Even Fortnite's users are primarily 18-24.

[honest comet]

i dont teally care about age rating of games lol

i literally played spongebob few days ago

[ripe hedge]

How do you feel about the aim assist?

[iron harness]

Ewww i did tthink about that, scratch thay though an sorry to bother yall with it?

Scratch that thought i mentioned an soory to bother yall 🙂

[honest comet]

ppl grew up using that game, when it released they were kids lol

[wary hamlet]

I have no value to add to that part.. didn't pay attention to it

[iron harness]

@honest comet lmfao didnt think about that

[velvet sand]

The whole point of ratings boards like the ESRB is to avoid government regulation of the industry by self-regulating.

[honest comet]

jez i played gta as kid

[arctic grove]

Halo franchise too. Im sad and dissapointed

[honest comet]

and didnt became part of mafia so yeah

[velvet sand]

Let's not even talk about the show and Master Cheeks : |

[honest comet]

wait isnt everyone thrilled with new halo?

[velvet sand]

lolnope, all the big 3 shooter franchises (Halo, BF, CoD) are a bit of a dumpster fire right now.

[iron harness]

I agree and edge too has a good point. But again like look at warzone, we do t even have to mention the average age on there lol

[arctic grove]

Master cheeks got laid

[honest comet]

well thats an f lol

[iron harness]

It should be like that everywhere

[wary hamlet]

I've created a portal game mode that I think should be a feature mode. Is there a way to submit a portal experience to be considered for a feature spot?

[velvet sand]

40%+ of Warzones users are 35 and older. Assumptions are bad.

[honest comet]

tbh u cant really know what age group plays which game

except fortnite

[arctic grove]

BRUH 35 and older playing warzone?? damn there are better games out there for them.

[ripe hedge]

"25% are younger than 25. However, there's also a significant number of 'older' players. 23% are in the 35-44 age bracket, and 21% are older than 44."

From literally the first Google link

[iron harness]

Welp, i made a ass out of myself an u my b... again lol

[honest comet]

how can they know that tho lol

[velvet sand]

Which state? There are a few with laws on the books (not regulations), but most stores self-police with the ESRB (well...are supposed to at least).

[honest comet]

u can put any date as ur b day date for account lol

[velvet sand]

Same way companies know eveyrthing about us: We tell them and they track all this data.

[iron harness]

Again whays the retainment rate on those players above 35 or 25?

[ripe hedge]

Big data?

[honest comet]

well yeah cookies are used for that, but this is kinda different since those statistic is taken by dates ppl put to account

i can literally put that im 100 y old lol

[velvet sand]

You ever hook a social media account up to a game? Congrats, that developer/publisher now knows all the information about you from your social media account.

[honest comet]

yea i know, im actually programmer lol

i made cookies a lot of times

[velvet sand]

Why the confusion then? This is fairly straightforward stuff. Getting clear data on your userbase demographics is super important.

[honest comet]

well i dont do marketing lol

[velvet sand]

Fair enough (I'm more in that field)

[honest comet]

yeah its interesting field tbh

i never developed any game tho

i mostly do web apps and sites

[honest comet]

but lets get back to game, i understand why u have negative feelings towards 2042

if i preordered for that much money and got that i would be pretty angry as well

[velvet sand]

If they re-add 128p breakthrough I'm here for S1 and hopeful it'll be a banger. Beyond that I'm kinda just roasting marshmallows.

[honest comet]

i payed like less then 40 us dollars

[velvet sand]

$90 or whatever for Gold during the early access period because I believed DICE and the open beta was in a state where it felt like they could whip things into shape pretty quickly.

[honest comet]

yeah it was indeed rip off

i never tried the game in the state it was, i got when 4.0 landed

[velvet sand]

So I've got a useless Y1 pass right now : (

[velvet sand]

Damn, you got in after they made huge changes though. The time before that was uh...rough

[honest comet]

yeah so i have lot different experience with it

but i understand ur point and ur really right with stuff u said

90$ for a game that has no content for almost a year is just speechless

plus heavy bugs

[velvet sand]

I'm not even mad about that. I totally get the delay and would be 100% fine with it if it felt like the time was being used more productively.

[chilly oak]

Weekly modes

[velvet sand]

Like, I'm on team, "Delay S1 even longer if that's what's needed."

[honest comet]

true, i really think that they will drop the season now

bcs if they dont, then theres no turning back

[somber rampart]

I'll settle for Breakthrough 100

[velvet sand]

I'll still clown on DICE for needing to delay a second time, but I'd rather they actually get S1 right and since this is basically teh games "relaunch" and if this doesn't perform well then it's kinda boned.

[chilly oak]

2nd s1 delay?

[honest comet]

yeah

[fervent grotto]

I’m on team “I want the content I was promised”

[velvet sand]

My guy. I've been posting about this in the forums since like, last year. 100 players vs. 128 would be dope.

[fervent grotto]

9 god damn months

[chilly oak]

I'm on team "I want a new map"

[honest comet]

i want content as well, even tho all is still new to me lol

oh btw is the radar missile better then anti vehicle one on f35?

[velvet sand]

Less hardware stress so more room to make tweaks to maps, lower stress on peoples machines so improved performance, slightly less "total chaos and no tactics (lol)" while still being a "huge" battle.

[somber rampart]

In on team (Proximity voice Chat)

[velvet sand]

I still don't buy the "it's not tactical" excuse for the removal of 128p breakthrough, it feels like such a cop-out, BS answer.

[honest comet]

that would be nice

[fervent grotto]

If they only give us a single map I’ll lose my shit.

[mossy solar]

[fervent grotto]

That’s ridiculous

[velvet sand]

Oh hell no. I already have to mute enough literal children crying and people eating a 5 course meal with open mics and their mom/dog making noise in the background : |

[honest comet]

man i just hope they do great job with season 1 and that we can all be happy with the game

[cyan trout]

There will always be someone(s) unhappy no matter what they do

[honest comet]

lol when i play cold war with headset, those annoyin kids with fuckin stretchin sound on purpouse

destroys my ears

i dont get why ppl do that

[iron harness]

We also dont want a really big nuketown either lol

[honest comet]

man you know what they need to add for real?

remember how most maps had that huge explosion,building goin down etc

that gave epic moments

[velvet sand]

I don't even know what that means (I know it's a CoD map but honestly can't remember it since I haven't played CoD since like, OG MW2 and played more of the original WW2 games)

[honest comet]

nuketown is like og map

in cod

[velvet sand]

They ahve a few with things like the rocket blowing up on Orbital or the side of the ship coming down on Discarded.

I think there's one other map with something like that, but don't ask me what it is.

[honest comet]

true but didnt feel that huge lol

[iron harness]

Thats whats up an nuke town was featured on blackops after Mw2( which i gotta say was the goat)

Its a small symetriacal map that can be easily spawn camped

[honest comet]

i mean nuketown is fine

[iron harness]

But a breakthrough game with nuketown vibes is a no no

[honest comet]

tru lol

[honest comet]

u probs thinked about shipment

that one is insane and u cant even move a step and u ded lol

[velvet sand]

Sounds like trash for the BF playstyle.

[arctic grove]

thats basically metro or locker

[honest comet]

i think he spoke about shipment

veri small map in shape of square

u spawn u die and so on till eternity lol

ppl spawnin random from all sides,enemy friendlies, hell u dont even know whos friend or enemy in that map lol

[fervent grotto]

Hardcore shipment is gods gift to the earth

[honest comet]

jesus no lol

thats devils gift

not gods lol

[velvet sand]

Yo, this sounds like the BF experience for me on CQ. Spawn, get shot from all directions.

[honest comet]

how to destroy kdr, play shipment lol

[fervent grotto]

Wrong

[honest comet]

thats why i spawn somewhere safe and pick route alone lol

[fervent grotto]

My kd is destroyed from Damascus. It was worth it tho

[honest comet]

i liked damascus map

[velvet sand]

Spawn on point we hold. Before I've even chambered the round on my gun, run over by a vehicle. 10/10, the perfect BF experience (I'm not even being sarcastic, it's frustrating but also hilarious when that happens.)

[honest comet]

oh whats the name, yeah i hated the most oil rig map

hahah yeah, noticed, today i spawned on friendly dude and insta got ran over by tank lol

didnt even make a step

[mossy solar]

I wish we could ban ea

[elder patrol]

That's a first, I got a error that removes all players from game lol

[velvet sand]

Yo that's a feature, not a bug.

[mossy solar]

It's true @elder patrol

[iron harness]

So ive been playing 2042 with No H.U.D. An its actually pretty nice.

Hazard zone no hud, with insider information equipped so you could see where the drives’ll drop

[velvet sand]

Man, DICE should probably update the BF2042 site and all their store pages and marketing materials to make it clear that 128p breakthrough is dead now.

Legit it's still splashed all over everywhere, with the asteriks only clarifying 128p modes don't exist on last-gen.

I don't envy the poor web devs/store page managers that'll ahve to scrub all that...if DICE even bothers.

[mossy solar]

EA games : buy our dead horse 💩

[mossy solar]

The new slogan

[still vault]

Got a link?

[velvet sand]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/game-overview

"With support for 128 players*, prepare for unprecedented scale on vast environments. Take on massive experiences, from updated multiplayer modes like Conquest and Breakthrough to the all-new Battlefield™ Hazard Zone."

asterisk only clarifies that last-gen is limited to 64p

[still vault]

Game still has support for 128 players and you can still play conquest and breakthrough

[velvet sand]

Seems like they're updating store pages to remove explicit mentions of 128p for brekathrough at least, though the Steam page still has this gem: "Squad up and bring a cutting-edge arsenal into dynamically-changing battlegrounds..."

Yeah, but breakthrough isn't a "massive" experience anymore, and the wording is intentionally vague (I do word stuff for a living so it's super obvious to me)

[mossy solar]

Invincible sky scrapers in which elevator campers with AA on top. prepare yourself for cutting edge hover craft that climb anything!

[velvet sand]

Sadly they killed hovercraft climbing buildings : (

(it was busted but absolutely hilarious)

[mossy solar]

LOL

[velvet sand]

Even on the Steam page - CQ is clearly called out as 128p, Breakthrough is not clearly called out as limited to 64 players. It's not dishonest, but it's intentionally vague framing.

[still vault]

Marketing wise, no marketing law is being broken from how I see it. It could be more specific, very much so, but they don't technically tell you anything that isn't true.
Guess I will take a look on the Steam page.

[velvet sand]

I'm not saying any laws are being broken by any stretch of the imagination. I'm just saying that DICE is being kinda shitty and vague about it.

[mossy solar]

They're being sketchy dealers for sure

[still vault]

You can leave feedback on Answers HQ about it. Might get the store descriptions changed if people don't like it.

[dapper berry]

not really, they're always saying "up to 128", they never specified player count limits per each gamemode

[velvet sand]

Well...I told DICE I wanted my money back and to F-off on the forums after they announced they were removing 128p breakthrough so got a well earned temporary vacation, lol. Will have to wait until it's over to post anything.

[dapper berry]

would they have to warn that rush is limited to 24 players ?

[mossy solar]

This 👆

[velvet sand]

Yes, which is intentionally vague wording by design : P

[silk surge]

I just rewatched the 2042 story cinematic.... Never realized that the guy who Irish was talking to was Rao lmao.

[velvet sand]

Though I'm sketpical anything would happen even if I postd. As you say, DICE isn't breaking any laws, it's just kinda scummy.

[still vault]

While it sucks they have to limit the selection of featured game-modes a bit it makes sense. The amount of game-modes you have is limited by the total amount of players and the amount of players playing each game mode. I think conquest probably do have quite the larger following, even if I personally switched like 50:50

[edgy oriole]

There is cinematic

[mossy solar]

https://c.tenor.com/3f87UxkcPREAAAAM/troll-troll-face.gif

[dapper berry]

I mean, they aren't really scummy as much as you're being pedantic about a small detail

[velvet sand]

From a dispassionate and purely metrics-driven view, yes. 100%. But from a human PoV, it's beyond lame and shitty and feels like DICE basically telling those of us who bought the game for that mode specifically to F-off.

[mossy solar]

I paid for a battlefield game. They lied.

[velvet sand]

I'm a fan of clear marketing materials, that's about it.

[dapper berry]

how so ?

[dapper berry]

i get it, but these are brutal expectations...

[mossy solar]

Well there's nothing battlefield about it.. half the map isn't destroyable, there are massive game issues.. tethering problems. I'd rather them just robbing me on the streets honestly

[still vault]

Sure, if you do experience design then it sucks - even if it is a Live service game and game changes to the current situation of the game was always going to happen and this was known even before the release.

[dapper berry]

would you define battlefield 1942 as battlefield, then ?

[mossy solar]

Ehh yes, in comparison

[velvet sand]

The solution to a temporary lack of players because your game is busted and everyone has left isn't to cut modes you sold the game on for short-term gains trying to centralize players in fewer modes. IT's to make the game better and bring folks back/bring in new players. But I'm still fairly certain a big reason for the removal was purely down to performance: Making it run well with some of the singular capture points where 100+ players are all densely packed is a nightmare. Easier to just kill th emode.

[elder patrol]

My server is laggy asf

[dapper berry]

my point is, every battlefield had people saying "it's not battlefield"; they haven't lied, you just didn't like what they sold

[edgy oriole]

64bt is too easy I want more.

[velvet sand]

"live-service" usually means adding more things and making changes in response to feedback. The removal of 128p is taking a major feature/mode away, and I they don't even pretend they got a ton of feedback requesting that, just some BS about "it's not tactical" freakin lol, no 128p mode is tactical, they're all chaotic, glorious messes.

[mossy solar]

Well maybe they should keep features instead of removing them?

[edgy oriole]

They should make 128 bt available on weekends

[velvet sand]

"We listen to feedback!" "BRING BACK 128p BREAKTHROUGH" "Woah, that's not what we meant, not that feedback."

[elder patrol]

Can they fix the damn stutter first lol

[hollow pebble]

omg I load into a game and then immedialty get removed

[mossy solar]

I didn't even know there were more than 100 players active daily. I thought entire player base is under 1k weekly now?

[dapper berry]

they're fixed for me

[elder patrol]

Maybe it's my wifi then. Cause it was working fine yesterday

[dapper berry]

try deleting your cache folder maybe ?

[velvet sand]

1-2K CCU's, but nobody understands CCU's. CCU is just the total number of players on at the moment, the number of active daily players is usually considerably high, and gets higher as you look at average weekly users/monthly users.

[mossy solar]

Ah

[velvet sand]

But that's also through STeam only, and while it's likely the biggest storefront for the game on PC doesn't capture any console numbers or numbers from EGS/Origin.

So it's further misleading since it's a single data point amongst at least 5 individual data points (plus 2 more for last-gen)

[hollow pebble]

loads into game, can't even spawn in before getting kicked

[dapper berry]

it makes for easy reddit karma farming though

[hollow pebble]

no message about why either

[velvet sand]

It does. And it's fun for some schadenfreude.

[mossy solar]

When they took out zombies I left 😂

[elder patrol]

128bt needs to comeback

[dapper berry]

64 bt maps need to be better

[solar minnow]

I wish dice would of told us they are removing 128BT.

[velvet sand]

That would have spoiled the surprise.

[solar minnow]

Lmao

[elder patrol]

Just bring it back and have 128 and 64bt

[solid imp]

Off topic, but I just thought of this.. gadgets which have options like Sundance grenades... hold 3 and a separate plus interface to toggle straight to the thing you want even if it hasn't technically recharged yet

[tiny imp]

did they not took back 128 again?

[calm bison]

Honestly the FNB gamemode is pretty fun

[arctic grove]

Big red flag imo. We didnt recieve no type of notice.

where u at?

[wide shore]

EA help DM’d me on Twitter about the Series X performance issues.

[calm bison]

Series S win?

I have a Series S and have no issues

[wide shore]

It’s only a Series X problem

And has been a problem since launch

[vale pier]

This is what I had last time I played https://youtu.be/3NihQuRMeOs

[cedar turtle]

[wide shore]

A sight all too familiar

[vale pier]

Sent that to them months ago. Isn't fixed by the sounds of it. Glad I wasted my time

[wide shore]

I’m gonna record a clip later with the performance graph up. And send it to em

It’s ridiculous that PC has a small stutter problem and it gets fixed within 24 hours. But we’ve been having MUCH WORSE performance issues for the last 6 months and nothing has been done.

[scenic tartan]

breakthrough babies upset that their free farm for fake stats is gone

[next onyx]

I'm just happy the superior 64p layouts are being used.

Breakaway 64p is actually quite good.

[hexed mango]

when i played yesterday it looked exactly the same

[hexed mango]

how is having fun farming, ig it’s farming fun…

[lime crystal]

next bf when

[hexed mango]

joe told me it was going to be

[lime crystal]

[next onyx]

Yeah the 128p layout i got it... was weird.

But the 64p layout for breakaway is just perfect.

[hexed mango]

but when i played it wasn’t on the 64p one

[next onyx]

I got it too.

[hexed mango]

oh

[next onyx]

Its amazing how bad that layout is.

[hexed mango]

eh i like the ice shelf, just not sector B

[next onyx]

Sector 3 is the only decent part of that sadly.

Actually breakaway in the oil rig on tdm is amazing.

[scenic tartan]

my hope is that this is a stopgap measure to redesigning the layouts when the map redesigns come

64 player breakthrough on breakaway is perfect

[arctic grove]

Easy fix. They just use the old gen map layouts

[full burrow]

exactly, give us game modes just on decent maps (old maps)

[arctic grove]

Here is a chaotic idea. 128BT on last gen maps

or 128 AOW last gen maps

[copper fulcrum]

Portal

[arctic grove]

last i heard we cant make 128 bt at all

[copper fulcrum]

Oh yeah lol

[velvet sand]

Nope, we can't even replace the mode DICE took away from us without warning. It's basically them telling us who bought the game for 128p brekathrough, "Thanks for the money, we don't care about you anymore."

[analog stirrup]

Welcome to the club

[fallen yarrow]

They didnt even fix the stuttering on PC

[velvet sand]

Patch is out, reports are mixed. Seems it fixed it for more folks than not, though.

[fallen yarrow]

I just tried 3 different maps, it's as bad as yesterday

people in chat were experiencing it too

[velvet sand]

Then you're one of the unlucky ones. Nothing to do but wait until next week and hope they push another fix live or something.

Don't be sad, that's just how it works out sometimes. - DICE

[fallen yarrow]

Yes, waitingfield 2042.

[velvet sand]

Battlefield 2042: Waiting Simulator

That's the reason there are elevators in the game. They wanted to build the waiting into the gameplay loop : 3

[fallen yarrow]

Waiting to connect, Waiting for players to join, Waiting to deploy, Waiting for patch, waiting for content

[velvet sand]

waiting for the specialist feedback loop thats checks notes yep, over a month late and getting later without word

[fallen yarrow]

You'd think with them removing 128p BT the other modes would be more populated....but nope

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/thriller-michael-jackson-eating-popcorn-watching-gif-5577709

[fallen yarrow]

Can't even get into a CQ 64p on west coast. Waiting for 15 people to join so that the round can start with 50% bots

[velvet sand]

I wish Vince was cracking more skulls (FIGURATIVELY, NOT LITERALLY) to whip DICE and this game into shape.

[cedar turtle]

whips and chains excite me

[arctic grove]

give it a year for things to iron out.

[fallen yarrow]

It took them 3+ years to get to this stage

[velvet sand]

WE're over halfway there in terms of time...but it sure doesn't feel like the game is halfway there yet.

[fallen yarrow]

And see how much progress they made in the past 6 months (Hint: pretty much non-existent)

Every step forward is followed by 2 steps to the side and 3 steps to the back

[velvet sand]

At least players falling underneath the map is less common than it used to be...but still not fixed.

And the biggest improvement: we actually hold the handles on our parachute now. That's huge.

[cedar turtle]

guess that means its time to reinstall New World. UGH

[velvet sand]

pick that hemp, bro

[silk surge]

I just checked out one of my clips, and I noticed that I killed the same guy 3 times in one single 30 second clip 😄

[fallen yarrow]

I think DICE should expand on the end of round quips and make them play on the deathcam too

[honest comet]

thats a proper bullying lol

[arctic grove]

remove them all together or add fortnite emotes. there is no inbetween.

[fallen yarrow]

That's a great idea, they should add unlockable fortnite dances for the specialists

[silk surge]

If I hear "don't be sad" line after getting long range sniped, I'm shutting the game off.

[fallen yarrow]

What about 'Sundance Special!'

[velvet sand]

Don't be sad, that's just how it works out sometimes.

Honestly the "joke" lines are even better. "Why you haf to be so mad?"

[hidden sand]

I'm really curious on why DICE is reworking them rather than just removing the eor voicelines

[velvet sand]

Probably want to sell a bunch of cringe end of round lines in the store.

[odd egret]

How is the gaming running with y’all on Pc is it buggy?

[velvet sand]

"I slapped them like Will Smith slapped Chris Rock! Remember that from the good old days?!" - Mackay, proabably.

[arctic grove]

Mind Boggling really.

[silk surge]

Because they're taking feedback from people that can't be pleased.

[velvet sand]

Is it though? DICE seem committed to pissing off players rather than actually responding to the overwhelming request to axe that trash.

[fallen yarrow]

Yes

[fallen yarrow]

That's a classic DICE move though. Remember the TTK fiasco in BFV?

[velvet sand]

Not really, I was late on the BFV train and missed that whole mess.

[hidden sand]

The ttk thing still blows me away, why do they think numerical data surpasses anything else?

[arctic grove]

Idk i just find it really odd to remove 128bt on portal too. im fine with removal as long as i can create the mode in portal.

[hidden sand]

128bt was never on portal

[velvet sand]

Because there's a lot of bad habits in focusing on purely quantitative metrics devoid of context vs. qualitative feedback.

[velvet sand]

Because then people would just play that instead of filling other modes.

[arctic grove]

really? i honestly thought it was there before.

[hidden sand]

Yeah for whatever reason BT has never been available on Portal, if I had to guess I bet they were worried people would just play Portal entirely instead if it was all there

[velvet sand]

You mean we'd want to play the modes we actually enjoy with settings we actually enjoy?! Perish the thought! We can't have that, especially not with full progression.

[hexed mango]

yeah BT was never on portal, would be cool to see it though

[odd egret]

Anyone know when we will get the new maps?

[velvet sand]

June, when S1 starts.

[frail sparrow]

june, soon. boom.

[velvet sand]

Who would have guessed that dumb old tweet would have been right about something in a way DICE could have never predicted.

[hidden sand]

Nah Im sure the season 1 delay was something they were at least worried about internally for a while now

[frail sparrow]

it's fucking depressing when you realize bfv had more content drops in that time than bf2042

[velvet sand]

The delay they announced in feb? Because they built in 3 months for post-launch issues but it seems like things were way worse than DICE predicted...which is crazy given that they should have known about the games extensive problems.

The 3 months was a smart move, if only they'd had a remotely competently built game at launch.

[hidden sand]

I have a feeling the breakthrough change was because of decreasing player counts, and if that is the case, I don't expect it to revert soon

It's likely more people were selecting 64 breakthrough over 128, too

[velvet sand]

It should revert with S1 bringing folks back when they turn the marketing machine back on...but I'm pretty convinced it was also due to pure performance reasons. They can't fix that in 128p breakthrough (on consoles at least) without major reworks to maps and breakthrough flag placements. Easier to just kill it.

Having 100 players concentrated on a single flag (GALAXY BRAIN DESIGN) is just not really feasible with the current map designs.

[hidden sand]

I'm really curious about why the levels turned out so bad knowing a lot of the Pacific level designers worked on this game

[velvet sand]

That's...why, isn't it? IIRC most of the pacific maps are kinda bad, lots of open areas and not a ton of cover (at least on a lot of the island ones)

[summer jetty]

Not the point. The point is it's been an issue since launch and still isn't fixed and I have asked some devs on Twitter . Doesn't help that the problem gets swept under the rug with "lol just get a next gen console" or "it's old gen what did you expect" well considering they thought it was okay to release it on old gen expected the game to not stutter or whatever its doing since launch half a year later

[steady elm]

I really hope EA will allow refunds for people who played over 2 hours

[dapper river]

oh sure when you fall from that height you live but when I do and I'm mashing spacebar, my parachute fails to deploy, I die and get insta-booted from the server and my PC explodes. great game DICE

[steady elm]

6 months later and the game is still shit

[velvet sand]

But how these maps or the placement of flags made it through early technical tests is beyond me. Like the breakthrough capture flags on top of the buildings they removed within weeks of launch. Those should have NEVER made it live.

[dapper river]

skill issue

umm PTFO??

[velvet sand]

Yeah, DICE needs better map designers : /

[silk surge]

Happens to me as well sometimes. The bug is caused by the fall timer resetting if you collide with an object mid-air, so the game assumes that you haven't fallen long enough to be able to deploy chute.

[summer jetty]

They won't. They got their money already

[steady elm]

Microsoft bought Cod, so maybe Mw2 will be a hit

[velvet sand]

I already asked support the other day if they'd refund since DICE took away the only mode I played regularly/whole reason I bought the game. Support said nah.

[sacred wave]

i havent time to play hows te stuttering now ?

[dapper river]

I think if you're too close to any surface, i.e. a building wall when you're falling, the game thinks you can't deploy a chute. it's a feature

[summer jetty]

Hopefully

[steady elm]

EA doesn't even consider 2042 an active title anymore, which honestly sucks because that means it's not even a priority for them anymore, instead the next title is

[velvet sand]

Not what that slide meant, dude. 2042 live-service starts with S1, so by the earnings call it still wasn't active yet.

[steady elm]

Usually that takes a year

[summer jetty]

Yeah no, EA would rather do anything else than ever hand a refund out

[dapper river]

They bought activation well into MIIW's development, far too late to course correct. like, hilariously late.

[fallen yarrow]

The marketing team for the next battlefield will need to work extra hard to pull-off a scam as big as this one though

[velvet sand]

Plus the deal isn't done yet, so they don't own ATVI yet.

[sacred wave]

hows the stuttering now ?

[fallen yarrow]

Still bad (PC)

[steady elm]

Technically speaking they can pull a few changes here and there that drastically change QOL

[wide shore]

Still dogshit on Series X.

[sacred wave]

@fallen yarrowthanks

[velvet sand]

I mean...the EA marketing team handling BF is arguably the best team making anything BF related...period. Look how good the marketing was for 2042 vs...well...the actual game lol.

[summer jetty]

On what platform?

[sacred wave]

pc

[dapper river]

yeah it'd be easy for them to make the servers and UI not fucking work by messing with only a few lines of code

[steady elm]

CODs worst flaw is poor networking honestly.

[summer jetty]

How long has it been like that

[dapper river]

at least it isn't like the p2p force host days

[wide shore]

Day 1. Lmao

[steady elm]

Packet burst, hit reg failure, etc, all COD netcode

[silk surge]

It's not an active title because live service hasn't started yet 🤦‍♂️ It has absolutely nothing to do with whatever priorities they currently have. Live service starts early next month, that's when the game becomes 'active'.

[summer jetty]

Hope nobody buys anything from their store

[silk surge]

EA only considers a title active if they're consistently profiting off of it, and given the fact that 2042 doesn't even have MTX yet... well...

[steady elm]

Ohhh, so basically that means that after 6 months we'll finally see some improvement on performance and better optimization. Because I'm currently sitting at 48fps minimum settings 1080p with an rtx 3060 ti, i7 9700K, and 32gb 3600mhz ram

[silk surge]

Completely irrelevant to what you said, but ok.

[fierce gull]

damn bruh

[solid imp]

Noo... Maybe a little bit of stuttering in the first 20 seconds of a match, but it's all smooth as butter after that, no lie. Was actually really good imo

[summer jetty]

The legendary Florida man is known to be unpredictable

[fierce gull]

i thought my fps was bad with the 3060ti lol

[velvet sand]

Game's more CPU bound than GPU bound, but an i7 9700K should be plenty to deliver good frames.

[steady elm]

Yeah, it goes from mid 100s to 48 fps after a few minutes. Thermals aren't an issue either, I'm at 52c on my gpu, and 44c cpu

[summer jetty]

Just wish they would take a month to do an optimization only update. It really needs it
