battlefield-2042

[lucid goblet]

currency info

[solar tinsel]

yeah Im inclined to agree, especially with it taking longer to get players.

I liked how matchmaking shook up team stacking, but it feels better when you have longer matches and you CONSISTENTLY get put into a fresh match, and neither seemed to really happen.

[next onyx]

I'm in oce so haha dead region..

[spiral island]

oof

[low timber]

Swap region

[hidden sand]

Damn I need some reason to demand the apache in bc2 era of portal

[spiral island]

and today's sponsor... Nor- gettin banned

[olive lake]

Also it just said earn XP in any game mode so I assume Solo/Co-op should count

But for it to fully work, this cap needs to be set higher because the XP earned in a match is a joke

[spiral island]

portal custom game farm

[low timber]

Atacama desert and Port Valdez had attack helis

[hidden sand]

Dice add another bc2 conquest map pls I need the apache

[olive lake]

Also ribbons should come back and weeklies should count

[shell ermine]

The new Conquest layout for Arica is kinda weird but I really like the new one for Valparaiso. It's like a brand new map

[hidden sand]

Atacama desert, that's the one I was thinking of
Would be sick if they added that

[olive lake]

If they REALLY wanted to cap us still, cap the mastery and let us have everything else.

At this rate I couldn't give a flying fuck anymore. I genuinely wanna be allowed to play solo/co-op and get stuff

[tiny imp]

I really like Exodus playlist. Good news

[velvet sand]

SUPPOSEDLY update is out next week with details early next week. GIANT GRAINS OF SALT DUE TO SOURCE

(i.e. everyone's favorite/least favorite leaker)

[solar tinsel]

Now we just have to hope we dont get tired of the same 4 maps. I'm a little concerned since I get the feeling Portal WON'T be getting new maps or content

[shell ermine]

Harvest Day and Heavy Metal would make good 5 flag+ Conquest maps

[velvet sand]

Not that "details next week" is the biggest scoop.

[tiny imp]

To bad they didnt add more BC2/bf3 maps. But is a right direction

[solar tinsel]

If Portal got new legacy maps each season, it'd make sense because you throw it into Exodus CQ.

[tiny imp]

Yeah, i wonder what will happen to portal when all BF3/BC2 maps going to AoW instead. Is gonna be a really intersting to see what happens in there in few months

[solar tinsel]

I think the best bet Portal has is to just open up progression in full, including with AI. I'm surprised they haven't just built smart modifiers into each of the logic options that modifies XP

Like, increasing damage or lowering health reduces XP gain, etc. It really should of had a robust XP logic from the beginning, which is funny because they had a pretty nice logic editor for modes

[tiny imp]

it gonna be interesting

[olive lake]

Agreed with this

Like if they really wanted to be picky, have AI count as full progression under the condition no other things are altered.

[haughty raft]

I set up a 1000 ticket TDM on Noshahr on portal but I’ve never hosted it lol

[frosty mural]

So if you own Year 1 Pass you basically get the prem tiers for each battle pass in each season ?

[solar tinsel]

right, the issue has been they have been to 'global' with their approach

[solar tinsel]

Yeah Year 1 pass gets you Premium Pass for the 4 seasons part of this year.... not that there will be more years or anything 😆

[frosty mural]

Yeah figured.

[solar tinsel]

I had a feeling the pass would have currency as part of its reward track, now Im curious of what the ratio will be

For all we know there might not be many rewards 😆

[shell ermine]

I wonder how much Exodus will kill Portal

Its barely alive now

[next onyx]

Second day on 2042 1000 ticket tdm.

[solar tinsel]

I mean I know personally FBCQ was the only reason why I dipped into Portal

[next onyx]

That was the best.

[arctic grove]

Sometimes I play those El Alamein ‘milsim’ servers

[next onyx]

Absolute grind fest.

[shell ermine]

So cmon DICE, add Bulge to BFV

[next onyx]

Dev ended for it.

[hidden sand]

Gotta leave it to DICE to make decisions like this. Rather than making Portal the main mode with playlists, they place the maps into AoW which will end up lowering it's playerbase even more.

Portal is 100% the future of BF, and is the best damn idea they've had in a while. So damn unfortunate how it's been handled.

[solar tinsel]

Nah I think more people will find it in AoW to be honest.

I love what Portal was supposed to be, and I agree they botched the handling of it, but the majority of the player base I believe still goes to AoW

[velvet sand]

1000%

[soft swallow]

Well if you count that most of the community plays AoW whitout Exodus

[solid imp]

Agreed, there's still benefit to having the customization abilities in Portal even if the maps aren't exclusive to it. In the survey they sent out they also asked about map editors, whether being able to add/remove objects, change terrain/topology could be beneficial, persistent servers, etc. So they're thinking about the whole topic all around.

[hidden sand]

That's my point. Making Portal the main mode would make both consistently alive. By giving AoW what Portal has, they're killing Portal.

[solar tinsel]

Yeah... what concerns me about that though is that they're truly putting it on the community exclusively to make new content, in a mode that doesn't even support progression if you want AI. What if you need AI to autofill? bummer

[chilly oak]

not really, people play portal for the fun modes

[solar tinsel]

That statement pretty much cements in my mind DICE or any EA studios will NOT be making new legacy maps

which, is a bummer because that was something I thought could do real well for 2042 back when

[solid imp]

I can't imagine adding more options into AOW will kill anything really. Dedicated playlist just for the new map to help ease the pain of the slow map reworking. New playlist for the ported maps from Portal. Adding additional Portal maps was also on the survey 🙂 although again just a survey of course and not a strategy.

[velvet sand]

We'll see if Portal will be getting any new content next week when the season is supposedly revealed...but I'm not holding my breath : |

[hidden sand]

Such a shame 2042 was the game they decide to put one of their best ideas into. That alone is not helping it.

[solar tinsel]

Neither am I

[hidden sand]

They already said 1 single map though? Portal isn't getting anything

[solar tinsel]

Portal specific, legacy map I mean

[velvet sand]

For AOW, I don't think they've said anything about Portal specific content.

[edgy oriole]

Mackay is dead, now it's McKay

[hidden sand]

I mean why would they exclude content from the post, DICE would absolutely boast multiple maps if they had them lol

[solid imp]

https://tenor.com/view/sga-stargate-atlantis-rodney-mc-kay-huh-what-gif-16955899

[chilly oak]

wait no portal maps? rip

[solar tinsel]

Makes you wonder if they should just completely rebrand the modes

Turn AoW/Portal into "Multiplayer", and offer a legacy experience where you have servers, a browser, and the ability to filter between official DICE experiences and custom modes

Turn Hazard Zone into "Co-Op" and make it PvE exclusively

[shell ermine]

McKay

[smoky plank]

because a reveal hasn't happened yet, is the only reason I can think of. These are basically teasers

[solar tinsel]

Pretty sure. No news on it, and a recent survey was like "How upset would you be if Portal offered no new content BUT you had an object editor"

[last swift]

in portal soon

[chilly oak]

whats object editor

[velvet sand]

actual map editing tools

[solar tinsel]

Like, be able to add and move items in the game world

[chilly oak]

oh noice

[solar tinsel]

I don't think that will matter. I think it's one map only. I like that DICE has been trying to update, but if you're looking for substance, there's not much.

[velvet sand]

I'm not optimistic they're set up to support actual UGC though, especially given the performance of the featured Portal modes so far which have been...a mixed bag to be charitable?

[smoky plank]

I'm not being too optimistic - I'm just tempering expectations until the official reveal

[hidden sand]

They're fine with talking about "weapons" and "vehicles", but refrain from mentioning there is more than one map? It's specifically written as "New Map", singular. Exposure is the only new map we're getting.

[solar tinsel]

yeah this

[velvet sand]

And further re-clarified by a CM as "map, singular"

[solar tinsel]

what also worries me is, how MANY new weapons/vehicles? I wouldn't be surprised if it's 4 new weapons and 1 new vehicle

[hidden sand]

Yep. There will be no Portal maps in season 1, as unfortunate as it is. Hopefully exposure is good.

[solar tinsel]

which is nothing compared to what previous BF games have gotten

[velvet sand]

"the whole studio" working on the game and here we are 8 months out from launch debating on whether the first content update will include a single map, or more. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

[hidden sand]

But exposure was 100% being developed pre-launch so it absolutely will follow the design philosophies they had then. Cover may be a lot better on it though.

[next onyx]

24/7 exposure if good then mm conquest and breakthrough action baby.

2 rounds of action with a breather in conquest.

[solar tinsel]

EA and DICE must have seriously re-strategized and re-arranged their staff after 2042's launch. They must have known it wasn't going to go well and started to restructure. It's clear there are significantly less folks working on NEW 2042 content

[velvet sand]

I mean, that was a dev comment from a few months back when people were wondering if DICE was even still working on 2042, heh

[solar tinsel]

right, I know, and I truly don't believe thats the truth

[gloomy rune]

This game will die in season 4

[solar tinsel]

I'm assuming most of them are tasked with whatever new title they are working on. Cutting their losses and trying to make the next one better

[velvet sand]

I hate that we're basically be trained to not believe actual developers when they say things about the game they're working on.

[solar tinsel]

but still beholden to their commitment, so they still need SOME people working on it

[solar tinsel]

agreed. I think it's worse when dealing with big conglomerate companies vs. smaller indies, but even then it's not always the case

No Man's Sky is one example, although I attribute that to more 'over-eager excitement' over the vision

[next onyx]

Maybe they realised how dire 2042 was and so they focused on it.

Whatever so We wait.

[eternal storm]

Read the room

[solar tinsel]

Undoubtedly they're making new Battlefield games, I'm just curious what their plan is to hold folks over until its ready. I don't think 2042's seasons can sustain it.

[next onyx]

I saw the mention of renewal so I said what I did.

[white geyser]

2042 gonna need to pull a comeback like no man’s sky

[next onyx]

At its current state I don't see a comeback but if they can get some hype up then sure.

If dice can get a good thing going then sure.

[solar tinsel]

I'm not sure if that's even possible. I think NMS situation was unique because I think it was due to large ambitions by a smaller team that just couldn't get there eventually, BUT had the vision and commitment to follow through, given time

[velvet sand]

negative nancy time: do what they're doing now, minimum-viable-support for a minimum-viable-product that they launched until they can abandon it (post Y1) and hope that the next game they launch is actually good and not another minimum-viable-product that will sell poorly and drag the reputation of DICE/BF down even further

[solar tinsel]

DICE's vision for 2042 has been scattered all over the place, and they're in the middle of a reoganization

[eternal storm]

My prediction has been that they will do bare minimum to get the game to an acceptable level by the end of the year then bail on it

[solar tinsel]

I don't think NMS is applicable to 2042, regrettably I think Anthem is a closer analogy, as that game also suffered a similar identity crisis that setback development and was behind the curve with new content

[next onyx]

Not to rag on but I'm more concerned about how this will set the standard.

[solar tinsel]

if you think about it: Anthem and 2042 have surprising parallels in that regard

[next onyx]

Release a game in a bad state, fix later, profit.

[velvet sand]

Isn't that kind what DICE has been doing for a while now? heh

[white geyser]

DICE needs to come up a plan to make a comeback like they did In battlefront 2, except without the loot box situation

[karmic phoenix]

yeah this has happened with like

[austere sphinx]

No man's sky is good tho

[karmic phoenix]

3 DICE releases in a row

[solar tinsel]

Right, now, and I think for the reasons I mentioned. They had a vision for NMS

[next onyx]

It's been like this for 4, 5 and 2042.

[solar tinsel]

and even though it couldn't be met right away with their smaller team, they got their eventually

[velvet sand]

Like, I feel like the past 3-5 releases from DICE have launched poorly but improved in the years after launch, usually getting abandoned around the time they're "finally in a really good space"

[hidden sand]

I'm worried about what's going to be brought over from this game to the next. Portal? Absolutely, bring that. The horrible first person animations? No. We need the old First Person animation style again.

[karmic phoenix]

and battlefront 2

[solar tinsel]

2042, like Anthem, had an identity crisis during development that ultimately stunted development and made it unviable to keep up with the live service demand

[next onyx]

I'm not too well versed with bf2.

What ea needs to do is not rush dice to release.

[eternal storm]

This game will never finish as good@as 4,5, or battlefront tho…they all received decent amounts of content

[karmic phoenix]

progression was a pay to win mess and the game was quite bugged. balancing was also kinda poor

[solar tinsel]

I love saying this: BF2 has had a more aggressive content cadence than 2042 did

[karmic phoenix]

but now its the most fun shooter game ive ever played

[austere sphinx]

This game is G A R B A G E and u can't change my mind

[velvet sand]

And maybe be more involved in development. Most of the problems for EA published games lately seem to stem from EA (surprisingly) being too hands off and letting developers waste tons of time and money spinning their wheels, only to have to rush the final product to release.

[hidden sand]

They, ironically, didn't this time. DICE mislead them on the state of the game until they eventually opened up and requested help. At least, according to Toms video.

[next onyx]

Yeah apparently.

[solar tinsel]

agreed. When I bring up Anthem and 2042, surprise: same parent company

Although I can't attribute that if it's being too hands off, or too hands ON (ie. no we need the game to be this because of xyz trend)

[next onyx]

I would rather this game be supported for a long time like bf4 so dice can work on something else.

[white geyser]

Since they abandoned hazard zone, portal gonna need new content to be supported, same goes for AOW that needs to be rework

[eternal storm]

The sad truth is this discord is a mourning session lol, we all wanted a good game, we all know this game isn’t good, and are clinging on to see if there’s 1% chance it won’t stay shit

[solar tinsel]

For all we know EA wanted Bioware to chase the looter trend of Destiny, and EA wanted DICE to chase the Battle Royale trend

Anthem was originally supposed to be survival on a hostile world

[next onyx]

It's all it has been the past what. 7 months? I'm just tired man.

[hexed mango]

https://tenor.com/view/dance-dance-boy-gif-23762739

[velvet sand]

We do know, and that was BioWare wanting to make a looter shooter game. It wasn't an EA directive.

[eternal storm]

No campaign with the excuse of working on MP- fine…then they proceed to have minimal portal content and scrap hazard zone lol

[solar tinsel]

ah, I was under the impression it was going to be completely different at one point

[next onyx]

Once things get rolling I'll have more hope.

[solar tinsel]

and that there was back and forth of if there should be loot, flying, more hostile world, etc

either way, the result was no solid vision WAY to late into development

[velvet sand]

It was, it had no flight. But that's because BW had multiple prototypes that went nowhere up until the time they released the E3 trailer and the team finally found out what kind of game they were building lol.

[solar tinsel]

ha right, it's been a while since I've read up on it

[velvet sand]

This is my hope. S1 is them "getting back in the saddle" and spinning up to increase support in subsequent seasons.

[slate meadow]

i like bf2042 but i really do think its past the point of saving with hazard zone being dropped and the multiplayer being in the state it is even after them not having a campaign to focus on multiplayer

[next onyx]

Dice should stick to what they know really.

[slate meadow]

its 1 third of the already cut down game being cut down again

[next onyx]

My biggest issue with 128p maps is well. The dev time needed to properly craft them.

These maps were not crafted well it is obvious.

[hexed mango]

my standing is “i mean tbh it has some problems, but i still find the game massively entertaining”
which is just a quote from me to my friend earlier

and tbh that is all that matters, to me

[solar tinsel]

I think what that is, is changing though. DICE isn't the same studio it was 5-10 years ago. Maybe they just need to discover what type of game they want to make in their new studio

[next onyx]

They were rushed.

[velvet sand]

I'm honestly wondering if dropping HZ support means more development resources for the other parts of the game...but probably not lol

[next onyx]

Maybe, Sync.

[hexed mango]

that’s what they said in the blog

[next onyx]

I was sad when they cut 5v5 from 5 but it was understandable.

Try saying that 5 times fast.

[eternal storm]

If it was we’d be getting more than a fucking map and specialist this month

[white geyser]

Oh look the clown 🤡 who got nothing else to do

[solar tinsel]

I think it more means they can make maps folks will enjoy more in CQ/BT without needing to spend extra time to try to adapt it to HZ, or make a mediocre map that works for all modes

[hexed mango]

“but we’re the first to hold our hands up and acknowledge that it hasn’t found the right home in Battlefield 2042 and that we’ll benefit greatly from letting our focus and energy stay on the modes we see you engaging most with.”

[solar tinsel]

It's clear maps were the weak point in 2042, so I think they need to lead with maps that have the best CQ/BT experience

[velvet sand]

I mean, general platitude sure...but so far we're not seeing any indication of that in S1 lol.

[solar tinsel]

I don't blame them to be honest. At this point you got to triage the whole game and see whats worth saving

[velvet sand]

Not if they say that cutting HZ support means more support elsewhere, but if they do increase support elsewhere. Because like...they said no campaign would mean more MP content and...that sure wasn't true lol

[next onyx]

Make hazard zone bots only so we can earn achievements.

[solar tinsel]

Agreed. It should be PvE only at this point

[next onyx]

I'd so easily grind that.

[solar tinsel]

Hell do one last bit of good will and make it so 8 players can play together or something

[next onyx]

Ye do that as the Max.

[solar tinsel]

Make it a fun co-op mode, as good as you can make it without spending too much time

and then let it lie as is for the rest of eternity

[next onyx]

It's a shame but that's really what it is.

[solar tinsel]

Agreed. I would actually play it more if I knew Hazard Zone wouldn't randomly become a 1 flag Conquest twice a match like it is now. I'd know the experience I'd be getting would be PvE centric

and that sort of commitment to an idea and knowing what youd get, I think would be more fun

[next onyx]

Ironically drive numbers up by throwing the towel in such a way.

They can tie story elements into logs or news reports anyways.

YO.

I just remembered.

In battlefield hardline before each match there'd be this news report.

[solar tinsel]

This assumes they even have any narrative staff left on 2042 😆

[next onyx]

It was so cool.

We'll see.

[solar tinsel]

I remember hearing they were exploring a BF campaign game right? Or a game with one? If anything, that team is THERE now

[white geyser]

I mentioned this before. I wanted co-op to be a separate option but they mixed it up with solo kind of dumb what they did, also I want co-op to be 4 player and a bit challenging so the players can grind until they win

[slate meadow]

the biggest shame for me is the opening cut scene for the game is actually mind blowing graphically and opens the game up to have such a good loor and story mode why didnt they take that and run with it

[next onyx]

The opening is very good yeah.

[tough sonnet]

Is it just me, or does aircraft flying in the air look extremely weird and buggy?

[next onyx]

The layout for that variant of hourglass is pretty good too.

[soft swallow]

Yes there will be a Battlefield campaign that will have a lot to do with lore but nothing to do with BF2042

[solar tinsel]

RIght, unless they decide to use characters or the setting of 2042 as the backdrop

[fallen yarrow]

Not just you, the animations past 100m are extremely bad

[solar tinsel]

Cause 2042's lore did HAVE potential, so I could see a story game set in that universe

[tough sonnet]

Jets look like they're being thrown around by a kid in the air instead of having an actual flight path

[soft swallow]

But I think it will be a campaign-only game, and if it does, they should actually give a nice discount for those who bought Battlefield 2042.

[slate meadow]

nope it does for me aswell jets sometimes look like they are triangles moving in sections xD

[solar tinsel]

I could see that game having a dedicated campaign and co-op, abut maybe having it coincide with 2.0 reboot of 2042 multiplayer that adds 10 new maps, reworks classes/specialists, and all that jazz haha

[slate meadow]

at certain distances and when they get blown up they stutter all over the place

[grizzled whale]

bf3 AND bfbc2 Maps in AOW

[tough sonnet]

It's impossible to track them and it looks so off lmao

[solar tinsel]

Like it's set 10 years in the future, new story, and the MP is essentially "the 2042 we wanted", you could even take the specialist models OFF the game (and say they are in the story now) and then just replace them with other factions or characters whatever

[soft swallow]

The improvements for Battlefield 2042 will be on Battlefield 2042 itself, but we still know very little about an upcoming campaign for the saga

[solar tinsel]

it could be a way to move the specialist characters out of MP and into a story-driven environment, and make 2042 MP more class based

[slate meadow]

yeah lol i havent actually heard anybody else say anything about it but thank god its not just me it looks like it has a polygon count of about 10 lmfao

[tough sonnet]

I'm hoping 2042 can have a Battlefront 2 turnaround but I'm not too optimistic

[white geyser]

Replace hazard zone with Titan mode from 2142, until they decide to add BF 2142 in the portal

[solar tinsel]

haha, which will be never 😆 sadly!

[white geyser]

Don’t denied it

[slate meadow]

unfortunately i dont think it will a massive part of the battlefront revamp was the lootbox backlash

[soft swallow]

Honestly, in the first months of Battlefield 2042 I was hoping that with the seasons they could announce the opening of an official campaign for Battlefield 2042 but apparently it is not so so in that I lost hope

[scenic tartan]

bf3 and bfbc2 maps in AOW is a win
glad it didnt have 1942

[smoky plank]

mmm Titan mode/Carrier Assault

[solar tinsel]

For example though, I could see Rao becoming an intel specialist, and he is an NPC character in some missions in a campaign, and then maybe the events of those missions become the foundation for a new multiplayer map.

[soft swallow]

Putting maps set 100 years ago would have been stupid

[solar tinsel]

You hear Rao over the comms or whatever, but the classes are more generic and for the military you're fighting with

[tough sonnet]

Hopefully the specialist outcry will have the same impact as the loot boxes did lol

[white geyser]

It’s been decades we never seen Titan mode since it only appeared in 2142

[solar tinsel]

The wild thing is specialists could have still worked. If the VO wasn't so bad, and if specialists actually covered the gamut of traditional BF classes (which they STILL don't - there's no true repair / anti-tank specialist for example)

[tough sonnet]

BF1 operations needs to make a return Hopefully

[soft swallow]

Why should they put a Titan Mode in a game where there are no Titans?

[solar tinsel]

Engineer & AT were critical class roles, yet no specialist ACTUALLY specializes in either

[soft swallow]

Hehe true

[tough sonnet]

That and the fact that half of them don't look war ready

[white geyser]

Do you even know what’s Titan mode? we ain’t talking about titanfall ya know!

[tough sonnet]

No helmets at all

[solar tinsel]

Right so Tone + Roles. If they nailed that, it could have worked!

[soft swallow]

But in my opinion they had to put that each class had its gadgets, it would have made much more sense

[solar tinsel]

and that would of helped too, for sure

[slate meadow]

they already ruined boris hey you have to get 60k damage with it but weve made it even harder because it now hits less and shooting time takes longer

[tough sonnet]

MW2019 did a good job with their specialist, keeping most of the skins feeling authentic

[honest comet]

just saw the news, so they adding bf 3 and bad company maps to conq 64, not portal?

[solar tinsel]

But still, even gadget restriction aside. Nothing about Irish or Boris make them "engineery" at all other than being slightly more defensive in nature. But thats not characteristic of traditional Engineer roles

[soft swallow]

As I always say, seeing a medic with a box of ammo is cursed

[last swift]

they should lower that as well. Now new players are f.. up 😄

[solar tinsel]

haha, I do think that is a change they realistically might make by the way though

[soft swallow]

Battlefield 2142 had the titans right? Unfortunately I never got a chance to play it because it looks so cool

[solar tinsel]

it did!

[karmic cobalt]

Organize each specialist into classes. One gadget is specialist and one is your class gadget. Guns are also sorted into the classes. I’ve always thought that would be solid

[soft swallow]

How it was?

[solar tinsel]

There was Carrier Assault in bF4too, which was basically Titan mode, without titans

[smoky plank]

Wasn't Carrier Assault basically the spiritual successor to titan mode in BF4?

[solar tinsel]

Titan Mode was awesome. Way ahead of its time

[tough sonnet]

I loved Carrier Assualt

[solar tinsel]

I enjoyed it too! Still nothing beats the titans, but it was a good valiant effort

[white geyser]

I never thought about it, but it seems like it

[solar tinsel]

Oh yeah it was advertised as such too.

[dim mural]

I really hope they either move it to the regular EA Play tier or offer some kind of free trial again for S1.

[solar tinsel]

I truly believe you could take Titan mode, as a standalone product

With maybe slightly more players (80-100) full with commanders and squad leaders

and THAT would be a killer F2P live service game in this day and age

again, way ahead of its time

[soft swallow]

Battlefield 2142 is like Battlefield 1942 and Halo are getting married, which is insane

[tough sonnet]

I never played 2142 but it did look fun lol, Carrier Assault reminded me of Supremacy from Battlefront 2

[solar tinsel]

It was a mode that was just to just keep on playing over and over given how different it felt to be on the ground, on titan offense, or titan defense

Plus we have 2142 to thank for the simplified 4-class system, if you like that

[white geyser]

I watch the the gameplay of 2142 Titan mode, but I wish 2042 have its own Titan mode

[solar tinsel]

as well as squad leader gadgets, and heavy/light armor toggle which as a nice feature

[soft swallow]

Well apparently Battlefield 2042 isn't very well known for the variety of modes

[solar tinsel]

I also though 2142 had a fantastic soundtrack. It was a future game, but orchestrated music

[tough sonnet]

It drives me nuts that we don't have not 1 map from 2042 that has water warfare or anything dealing with battle ships considering that the loading screen is of the Exodus

[hexed mango]

LCAA 😎

[white geyser]

No water maps, no boats to add in this game

[velvet sand]

Manifest has water! But uh...it's just a deathtrap.

[soft swallow]

I listened to them some time ago, and when I watched a no commentary, despite the soundtracks being done in a classical music orchestra, it was perfect for the feels of futuristic combat.

[hexed mango]

so does kale

[solar tinsel]

definitely!

[tough sonnet]

Orbital could've been a water map with all the ships in the background lol

[karmic cobalt]

Boats would be cool with the whole climate disaster setting and stuff. Flooded city map and all that for boats and helis maybe

[last swift]

a new specialist for water maps -> 🤿

[solar tinsel]

And if you know DICE has always had great trailers, it truly dates back all the way to their older titles, as for the time they made great trailers back then too:

[tough sonnet]

Fr that's teasing us with water lmao

[karmic cobalt]

Fish man fr best specialist

[last swift]

xD

[hexed mango]

aqua man specialist confirmed?

[karmic cobalt]

Macrayfish or something idk

[last swift]

the voicelines would be fun.. lburuuburburb.. xD

[soft swallow]

Then I listened to the whole Battlefield 2042 album, it's the weirdest soundtracks I've ever heard

[solar tinsel]

haha indeed

[karmic cobalt]

I need this
Got all your semi serious Irish voice lines at the end of the round and then some gay fish dude going blbllbblbl

[solar tinsel]

At least on PS5, the 2042 music isnt even in the game anymore (except for Portal music)

I genuinely wonder if there was a license dispute or something like that. Kind of suspicious its ALL of the new music that got pulled

[soft swallow]

Bugs save eardrums

[velvet sand]

Extremely unlikely. Probably just a bug they haven't fixed.

[solar tinsel]

This server has had this conversation before, but you can't even fault Hildur. She's a cinema arranger, and she's just not the right person for the job. Game music doesn't work the same way

The tone was right, given her previous work, but game soundtracks typically require a bit more drive to get you into the game. It just wasn't the right call by EA/DICE, and thats again no disrespect to her.

[arctic grove]

I just realized... it took 7 months to copy/paste bf3 and bfbc2 maps to AOW??????

[white geyser]

Whoever’s idea to add hardline in the portal last time, first of you’re gonna get rekt if you’re driving a car, armored truck, or the van and second going up against 2042, BC2, or BF3 if you’re a cop or criminal you don’t stand a chance

[karmic cobalt]

Because their original intention was to just have them as portal maps 🧠
They only just added them into aow because they probably only just decided to do it

[velvet sand]

Yes, things people were asking for early on in the year when we found out that S1 was delayed for 3+ months

[solar tinsel]

Wild right? haha

Somehow EA/DICE marketing in the Season 1 blog post, will tout it as "4 new maps you can play in AoW"

[arctic grove]

Yeah also the community was begging from the beginning to add the portal maps.

[solar tinsel]

Absolutely

"5 new maps available to play in AoW this season!"

[arctic grove]

I bet 2 are the portal maps out of 4 the last 2 is the new map and Kali 2.0.

[solar tinsel]

Oh wait I forgot about Kali 2.0

"6 new and reworked maps available in AoW this season!"

[arctic grove]

So in total its 4 new map. Outstanding move Dice

[solar tinsel]

also what do you mean with 2 are the portal maps?

Portal isn't getting any new maps ha

[arctic grove]

No no they are just transferring the portal maps to AOW

[solar tinsel]

right

[velvet sand]

Unless DICE is planning to surprise us and is talking as if it doesn't exist : |

[solar tinsel]

4 Portal Maps + 1 new S1 map + Kali 2.0

[pseudo grail]

When is the release date for season 1 ?

[white geyser]

Don’t denied it

[solar tinsel]

"""6""" new*** maps

[velvet sand]

Supposedly next week, but it's not officially confirmed.

[arctic grove]

I mean. they killed off 128bt and HZ out of nowhere so who knows. Dice is like a jack in the box. who the hell knows what they are doing.

[pseudo grail]

@velvet sand you know what they adding?

[velvet sand]

Those are the kinds of "DICE surprises" I expect with 2042. Disappointing ones, not delightful surprises.

[smoky plank]

Portal maps get added to AOW tomorrow however

[velvet sand]

1 new map, vague "more guns and vehicles and other things"

[arctic grove]

same tbh 😭

[solar tinsel]

1 new map + a rework of Kalediscope + 1 new specialist + some untold number of new weapons and vehicles + a battle pass

[pseudo grail]

1 map really ? Wtf

[arctic grove]

More guns. adds 2

[solar tinsel]

yuuuupppp

[solar tinsel]

I genuinely think it will be no more than 4

[velvet sand]

Yes, plus Kaleidoscope will be updated considerably by the end of it. They delayed the udpates to Renewal to S2.

[pseudo grail]

After 6months we get 1 map ? Nah nah nah

[arctic grove]

I cant believe they already working on the next hero shooter while finishing this one.

[velvet sand]

Well, we know some Portal weapons will come over so probably more than 4 with those included, though they're not really "new" either.

[shell ermine]

How do you change the zoom on the ghost 1.25-2x sight?

[arctic grove]

💯

[velvet sand]

Standard development. Small team begins pre-production on next title early.

[fiery shoal]

"starting" work on the next title after one releases is industry standard...

[solar tinsel]

@velvet sand right

[solar tinsel]

I believe it's whatever is binded to melee

[pseudo grail]

So are they giving up on portal to I heard they gave up on hazard zone

[karmic cobalt]

That’s typical for every video game developer out there…. They’re pretty much just in the brainstorming stage, everyone does this

[arctic grove]

Good point. im just abhorred by how the state of this one is while starting in another one.

[solar tinsel]

New maps will not support HZ, so yeah HZ is done with new development. No word on Portal... but... time will tell

[velvet sand]

We don't know about Portal support, they haven't said anything specific about S1 yet. Just the email survey floating ending content support for Portal in exchange for more map editing tools.

[arctic grove]

Lets hope its not dissapointing

[fiery shoal]

the people starting the next project are hired to start projects..

[pseudo grail]

Oh dear

[fiery shoal]

you dont have concept artists stay on 2042 "because content is lacking"

[arctic grove]

whats the point of editing tools if you are stuck with limited editing tools?

[karmic cobalt]

They’re not actually starting development and stuff, it’s just the people assigned to start projects are brainstorming new ideas. They’re not losing any of the 2042 development team

[solar tinsel]

I think if they go that route, they will be adding an object editor for maps

[velvet sand]

That was the point of the question, would players be "ok" with abandoning content support if we instead got more map editing tools so we could customize maps more in Portal.

[pseudo grail]

Someone give me a slap for buying this game 😂

[solar tinsel]

The survey kind of suggested "how about an object editor? also, are you ok with not having new content?" lol

[arctic grove]

slaps

[pseudo grail]

Thanks much better

[solar tinsel]

haha

[fiery shoal]

take the loss and move on

[pseudo grail]

I just already did

[fiery shoal]

sure

[last swift]

we need a new BINGO sheet

[solar tinsel]

Two ways I see it, we can either not play it and move on to playing other fun games, or try to squeeze whatever fun we can have with it with whatever little new content we get.

I still have fun with 2042, but I also play it maybe once a week, it's just not enough to sustain wanting to keep going back to it, even if I have fun gameplay moments, and content lacking hurts a lot in that regard

[fiery shoal]

it got depressing realizing how often the same thing is said over and over

[solar tinsel]

I'm curious to see how the battle pass will do as far as keeping me playing for something to aim for, because the moment to moment gameplay is still more or less fun, it's battlefield pretty much, despite the maps not being as good

[last swift]

A season 1 special edition nyphon bingo?

[solar tinsel]

Still, I think as time goes on, it won't be enough to sustain long term

[karmic cobalt]

It’s one of those games that can be fun if it’s the only thing you play and you get really invested but the moment you go back and play better games it becomes way harder to play 2042

[fiery shoal]

lol hmmm signed too

[pseudo grail]

I quit playing 2042 we need content something fresh playing this game no new content is giving me diabetes

[solar tinsel]

for sure. There are moments where I'm kind of itching to play, and sometimes I do, but sometimes I go "eh but there's nothing new to unlock/checkout/use" - so it shoots itself in the foot

[forest knoll]

Hi folks, I've got a question about performance on BF2042, I'm struggling to get more than 90 fps on all lowest settings with a 9700k and a 3080, Any ideas what I could do to fix it?

[next onyx]

How's your memory?

[fiery shoal]

with that cpu on any resolution/setting thats about the best you can expect. 2042 is cpu bound

[next onyx]

What's your resolution?

[karmic cobalt]

Yeah I get what you mean there. It just feels like this game should be fun to play but it also feels like there’s nothing to do…

[forest knoll]

other games like WZ run at 200fps but this only 90, Also i've got 32gb of 300mhz ram and I'm 1440p

[fiery shoal]

if youre playing above 1080p you can use dlss and thats about it

[karmic cobalt]

It’s just poor optimization… getting 90fps is honestly really good compared to my console pleb ass getting like 6fps on a good day

[forest knoll]

oof lmao

[karmic cobalt]

The stutter…. The input delay…. Chicken gotta get off of last gen bro

[fiery shoal]

cant really compare other games as a gauge for performance... WZ runs like utter shit if you have 100 people in a smallish area too

warzone also missing any destruction, and doesnt have vehicles in the way 2042 does

[arctic grove]

i play like 2 or 3 rounds and i stop. thats as much fun as i get.

[fiery shoal]

optimization is weird, its actually pretty good that 4 year old mid tier components can run 2042 at 60 fps at 1080p, the problem is the game doesnt scale good with high end hardware, and definitely doesnt scale off gpu like most games do

[solar tinsel]

Yeah, such a disappointment. Ironic how the game billed as 'live service' was the least live-servicey of them all

I keep going back to BF2, it's had more content releases than BF2042 in the same time

[arctic grove]

Even bfv had less content and somehow mangaged to make it feel like a live service

[arctic grove]

Same with bf4

[olive lake]

Yeah the survey feels like it was a waste of time. Because they aren't delivering on that

[karmic cobalt]

I’m still just no lifing my bfV planes…. I would honestly probably play 2042 if the planes weren’t so jank. They just feel too last second for me

[olive lake]

Or the forums. Or social media feedback

[boreal jasper]

Happy veterans month everyone! Thanks to all the vets who let us live our lives the way we see fit!

[arctic grove]

WAIT IT IS?

AWESOME

[shell ermine]

The only two times DICE has done good plane combat in the Frostbite era was Battlefield 1943 and Battlefield V.

Jets just don't work for the engagement areas of Battlefield imo

[karmic cobalt]

Honestly bf4 in my experience was really solid, and apparently bf3 jets were good but I never really tried them much. Granted, I’m more talking from the dogfighting viewpoint rather than the average jet farmer chad, but jets definitely do work, just not the way they’re implemented in 2042. We either need dog fighters or attack jets, not these whack ass 2042 missile spam only jets

But bfV is still my favorite for planes for some reason

[tranquil turtle]

I despise bf5 planes

[last swift]

BF1 plane combat

[tranquil turtle]

Using them in first person is just not fun, whereas in 3 and 4 I could fly a jet all game in the cockpit view

[karmic cobalt]

Never got into that myself tbh. The rudders are too weak, the planes are too floaty, and there’s too much dogfighting cheese and wing mutilating

[soft swallow]

Joking aside, she is a fantastic composer, and the soundtracks in the game work perfectly on every map, definitely not to be listened to on a daily basis but they work as a background in the game.

[tranquil turtle]

Bf1 made planes too easy for me

[karmic cobalt]

The WW2 cockpits are definitely different but honestly I’ve come to like them better. They feel more open than bf4 for me

[last swift]

But its BF1.. Red Baron?

[karmic cobalt]

Yeah but bf5 has 75mm tank cannon JU88 and a 4000lb bomb soooo

Tank hunter plane ain’t got nothing on 75mm ventral cannon fr

[last swift]

boring ..

[tranquil turtle]

I prefer the more cramped jet cockpits, I've sat in the cockpit of an F4 phantom before and it does not have very much space, especially for my tall ass

[shell ermine]

You PC guys didn't get to play Battlefield 1943, it had excellent vehicle combat

[dense robin]

So does this game have good vehicles?

[serene tulip]

Can anyone help me get passed the persistent content error?

[dense robin]

Any time I try and play BF5, there’s just no vehicles in Conquest

[tranquil turtle]

Nope

[dense robin]

I can’t tell if it’s a bug or not

[velvet sand]

The unable to load persistence data error?

[karmic cobalt]

Many maps don’t have them and when they do they’re probably taken

[serene tulip]

Yes

[velvet sand]

I don't think there's an actual "fix". Use the repair tool on the game if you can (it's on PC, not sure about console) and keep trying to join games and it should eventually clear up/stop happening.

[dense robin]

There’s like 2 planes per side lmao. Just really awful vehicle balancing in 5

[storm snow]

anyone playing bf2042 in 4K ?

I used to play it on a 38" ultrawide (3840x1600) and recently upgraded to 42" screen (3840x2160).
My issue is that I think the game looks very crap on 4K, it feels upscaled.

I am not sure are there some settings I might have wrong?

[viscid badge]

On Ps4 I couldn't get into the vehicles for some reason from the spawn screen. It was just one round tho

[serene tulip]

I’m on console. Been trying for like 20 minutes now. My son has been able to play but it won’t let me play

[karmic cobalt]

1 good plane nerd can easily run a lobby bro having 2 per team ain’t that bad…

[velvet sand]

Ooph, bummer. I don't know of any other "fixes", just gotta keep trying your luck : (

[karmic cobalt]

Are you two using the same account?

[dense robin]

Yeah but I’d like to have fun too lol

[serene tulip]

No he has his own Xbox account

[fallen yarrow]

You can play Fjell or Al Sundan if you want more planes

[karmic cobalt]

This is battlefield, no fun allowed 😡😡

[dense robin]

Less walking sim and more vroom swoosh

[karmic cobalt]

I think that’s your issue. 2042 has some weird issues with game share and I think you can only play with the account that bought the game in my experience

[serene tulip]

I’m not game sharing with him and I am the account that bought the game.

[karmic cobalt]

Huh I’ve got no clue then. You can probably clear the game cache, reinstall, maybe hard restart your Xbox if it’s an issue there, reconnect to internet, some of that basic stuff might fix it

[tranquil turtle]

Except fjell sucks and bombers in Al sundan immediately spawncamp first chance they get

[serene tulip]

I’ve done most of that except reinstall

[karmic cobalt]

Fjell is not that bad tbh, there’s a lot of flak and constant dogfights tho. Al Sundan just sucks with all the AA as well, especially when someone pulls a flak tank

[next onyx]

Fjell is ok as long as fighters keep on the enemies planes.

As long as planes are busy with planes it's as if they're not there.

[karmic cobalt]

I’d say just wait to be honest if this is the first time you’re having the issue and it’s only been for twenty min. Probably reinstall if it goes on for more than a day or two or something

[serene tulip]

I’m a day one purchaser and this has been happening since then. I quit playing in January because of this issue. Was hoping this would be solved at this point

[karmic cobalt]

As long as they’re roughly equally skilled. I’ve definitely stacked with some other good plane kids on that map and you can keep the enemy planes spawn locked pretty hard and have some guys spam kill the ground if you know what you’re doing and there’s a skill imbalance

[karmic cobalt]

Definitely try a reinstall if you haven’t, I’m not really sure what else would work… use a different account maybe?

[next onyx]

Sadly that's what happens chicken.

Rarely are there equal fights.

[karmic cobalt]

As long as you stay on the winning side it’s aight hehe

[next onyx]

Pretty much how it works.

[white geyser]

The zombies in my custom portal, I must destroy all zombies until I win

[serene tulip]

I’ve tried other accounts but I’m trying to reinstall now. Just figured this would be solved. It’s really driven me to not purchase another Battlefield again

[honest comet]

so this maps from bc 2 and bf3 gonna be in conquest 64, not portal?

[velvet sand]

Both, they're just being added to AOW. They're just existing Portal maps.

[lucid goblet]

rush is being added to AOW in S1 🙂

[low timber]

Always wanted to play flashback Rush.

[solar tinsel]

CQ128, BT64, ExCQ, Rush - finally seems like a nice variety of modes for AoW.

I just wonder how Rush is going to handle matchmaking with AoW. Will it run 2 matches for a side-swap before getting a new instance? Or we might be instead left with constantly getting put on one side or another.

[arctic grove]

its been done in portal

[arctic grove]

Thats too brutal of an expectation

[solar tinsel]

ha probably, I doubt that type of functionalty has been built in

Don't get me wrong, happy to see it in AoW, but it's unfortunate stuff like that likely won't be considered

[arctic grove]

They might implement it at a later time.

[arctic grove]

Unfortunate it took this long as well.

[solar tinsel]

I hope they up the ticket count for ExCQ, for a similar reason. These legacy map matches sometimes go by real fast, and with having to matchmake again again quickly, could be a bummer

[calm bison]

Lmao embed fail in #direct-communication

[serene tulip]

Ok so did a reinstall and it still won’t let me play. Still getting the error. Where do I go from here?

Wasn’t able to play in January and got no help then either. Surely I can get some help now

[velvet sand]

Contact EA support and hope they can do something. Post about it in the bug forums...those are probably your only remaining options : /

[plucky pebble]

Refund

[serene tulip]

I doubt that will happen as I purchased it on day one. Have had the highest edition but haven’t been able to play it

[plucky pebble]

What platform?

[lofty nymph]

one of the main selling points: 128 player battles

DICE: lets remove it on most maps to compensate for the lack of players

[vocal adder]

Because 128 players are not working

[velvet sand]

I mean...it does, it just requires a bit more effort from DICE to ensure it's enjoyable. Which is was even before they axed it, IMO. Enjoyment being subjective and all that.

[serene tulip]

XSX

[dim kayak]

anyone else cant connect to ea?

[serene tulip]

I got passed the error and now it just sits saying “waiting for 29 more players to join”

[still vault]

Logged in just fine

[wide shore]

What annoys me, is that the BC2 and BF3 maps get added to AOW but not in 128 CQ. I don’t want to play 64 CQ. The base maps are awful in 64

They tested the flashback maps with 128 like 2 weeks ago. And they worked just fine. They needed more score, to make the rounds last a little longer. But they were fine.

[arctic grove]

Game runs fine on PS5 here

[low timber]

Yup, I want to play the BC2/BF3 maps but not the 64p 2042 maps as well.

[olive lake]

I mean this is from the same people who did this:

DICE: Let's cap progressing with AI to stop the farming

Also DICE: releases a zombie survival portal experience that provides full progression and is almost exactly the same as those farming servers

[arctic grove]

[fiery shoal]

pfp change almost got me, but its just max doing his usual

[low timber]

Ripple Effect*

[solid torrent]

So we will have 4 « new » maps for AoA?

[fiery shoal]

just wait and see

[arctic grove]

[velvet sand]

1 new map, 4 existing Portal maps

[fiery shoal]

not like it costs money

[arctic grove]

Where did you hear 4? From the Tom Henderson tweet?

[low timber]

Well the next few weeks is going to be filled for me, MC update on the 7th, F76 update on the 14th and 2042 update on early June.

[hearty flame]

BF comms twitter

[arctic grove]

Sorta, battlefield exodus would count

[wide shore]

They’re counting Noshar, Arica, Valparaiso and Caspian as new

[arctic grove]

Technically new unless you meant 2 new designed maps updated into portal and 2 new designed aow maps

[wide shore]

They are new to AOW but they’re not new

[arctic grove]

Yea, makes sense now

[wide shore]

It’s really sad that exposure is the only new map coming in S1

I really hope the guns are plenty

[hearty flame]

if tempos leaks are accurate there might be like 6 guns? 8?

[arctic grove]

6, 1 just can’t be identified with any real life inspiration

[solid torrent]

Better than only 1 map

I dont care if it’s old maps, will be fun like new

[arctic grove]

And that’s only what’s been datamined although I doubt something like any additional new guns will just sneak under the radar

[hearty flame]

still 1 new map and 6 new weapons in 8 months is pretty bad

[hearty flame]

and those guns might not be released for a long time either. i remember the chauchat being datamined but not released for months in V

[scenic tartan]

I like the 64 player conquest layouts for their pacing better. The maps just suck in general

[arctic grove]

We’ll see when S1 drops. Could be automatically in the battle pass

[low timber]

Was there mentioned that how many tiers does it have? The norm of 100?

[arctic grove]

Yes, 100

If you ask me my guess the new guns will be within like, the first 20-30 tiers if DICE wants to make people sink in more time for the guns

[hearty flame]

werent the weapons the capstone reward for weekly tiers/challenges?
in V

[low timber]

So if we reduce the specialists, possible 6-8 guns, premium currency, other stuff. Maybe ~70 cosmetics?

And ofc +100 for the premium pass owners.

[arctic grove]

Other stuff meaning? Cause if you mean player cards and titles, charms, what more could be in 70 different tiers?

[low timber]

Headgears, uniforms, vehicle skins, weapon skins.

[wide shore]

They do not play good in 64. I tried 64 conquest when it came out, and infantry conquest when it was new. But it was just barren, boring, not fun. Especially maps like Discarded. I much prefer the 128 layouts. And I reckon most players play 128 CQ. Making these flashback maps 64 only is doodoo. You can just play Flashback Conquest and get the same thing, minus the default maps which makes the experience better.

[hearty flame]

i doubt it. its not gonna be like V with weapon camo parts littering the reward path. they might have a free currency launched alongside their premium one to have players who wouldnt normally go to their store go there

[low timber]

This time there are no camo parts, expect headgear and uniform

[arctic grove]

Hopefully it’s loaded with militaristic ones, we’ll see tho

[low timber]

Oh yeah, there were two paid tiers of paid pass right? One that unlocks the paid route and one that also unlocks it but also Auto Unlock first 20, 30 ranks?

[hearty flame]

i forgot that player cards and emblems could be seen as cosmetics so ya ~70 cosmetics might be possible

[low timber]

And the gold/ultimate was advertised to get weapons/specialists/vehicles instantly.

[hearty flame]

Still betting on there being a free currency to entice players to go to the store to use it and get enticed with the flashier stuff that needs the paid currency

[wide shore]

Yes. That is a thing.

[hearty flame]

oh is free currency confirmed?

[wide shore]

You can get currency from the free battle pass. But you get more from the premium one obviously.

[low timber]

So depending how many tiers they get unlocked for free means where all the new stuff is.

[wide shore]

I’d recommend reading the blog post. There’s some interesting stuff in there

[lofty nymph]

💀

[cinder stone]

💀

[arctic grove]

He said 12 months, and it hasn’t been 12 months since that tweet

[craggy marten]

Good thing I bought the Ultimate edition like a dumbass, don't need to spend money for in-game currency

[lofty nymph]

not even 12 years will change this

[cinder stone]

How high are you on copium

[arctic grove]

7 more days to 12 months and it’s going to dominate

[tranquil turtle]

The game will be saved in 7 days

[craggy marten]

Battlefield sweep baby!!

[cinder stone]

[craggy marten]

Also who said it was gonna be 7 days?

[tranquil turtle]

Nah trust me bro

[velvet sand]

Have faith, fam*

[craggy marten]

When did anyone say season 1 was gonna come out in 7 days?

[arctic grove]

Coincidentally he made that tweet like, on the exact day people are suspecting we are getting S1 patch notes/trailer

[sacred depot]

dice are going to contact otherwordly beings beyond human imagination to assist in releasing the full version of the game in 7 days

[arctic grove]

I don’t know why people think they haven’t been working with the aliens to make this dominate

But no, seriously, his tweet is just in time for season 1 lmao

[cinder stone]

ye but from all I have heard, S1 wont change much

[arctic grove]

Changes quite a lot

Won’t change major reception tho

[sacred depot]

its one new map with all portal guns in normal AoW and like 1 dlc gun

[craggy marten]

When is Season 1 coming out anyway?

[sacred depot]

early june

so june 30th knowing dice

[arctic grove]

Not all

Not 1 gun

1 new map correct tho

[craggy marten]

Damn Twee, that could be any minute from now.

[arctic grove]

Some people will take you seriously and look silly going around saying 1 actually new gun will be in the game

[arctic grove]

I’m wondering if that skin is meant to be the tier 100 reward? Would make sense

[craggy marten]

Also there's no damn way it will only be one map, I swear to God if this is true, DICE actually wants this game to due.

[sacred depot]

a new specialist because we all definetly missed them

[arctic grove]

[silk surge]

I'm really hoping that they included some first person takedown animations in the Battlepass. I'm getting sick of the third person ones. They're not nearly as satisfying, and have buggy animations and camera angles most of the time.

[velvet sand]

There is god damn way there will be one map, lol. It's pretty much confirmed at this point.

[tiny imp]

They already confirmed it

[craggy marten]

What about Portal maps?

[velvet sand]

They haven't said anything about Portal, we'll ahve to wait for the full S1 reveal.

[sacred depot]

i went to a video game store and 2042 was discounted from £65 to £19.99 or something lmao

ill get it for the maximum of £10 at this moment in time

[arctic grove]

I don’t really have a problem with 3rd person melee but I hate the damn melee system with all life inside of me. A few days ago I kid you not I was both pressing and holding the right joystick to melee this dude laying down, nothing worked

Had to finish him off by just shooting him in the back

Annoyed me because melee animations were always cool in battlefield but now there’s only a specific set of animations that can only be done by being right behind someone

And it didn’t even work when I pressed the button to do it

[craggy marten]

Over here, Walmart's have this game for 50 bucks rather than 70 bucks, all of the games that came out at that time are still at the same price except that one.

[silk surge]

I miss the days when we had takedown animations from the front (if the enemy had low enough health) 😩

[arctic grove]

I saw this one animation in V where your jugular gets deleted by a moderately strong looking punch

[silk surge]

Fuck counter-knifing though, I'd rather have 2042s half-assed system.

[iron harness]

😂

[craggy marten]

That was probably better than the actual takedowns in 2042

[fallen yarrow]

BFV had a LOT of different melee animations, depending on weapon, angle of attack and position of enemy

[silk surge]

My favorite takedown anim of all time is the fatal headbutt from BFV. I laughed so hard first time I witnessed it.

[fallen yarrow]

I could only get BF2042's melee takedown to work about 1 in 3 times. The other two times my character just pokes them with the knife

[arctic grove]

It was cool for sure, wish it’d come back in 2042, or is present in the next installment, cause the 2042 melee system is terrible and that’s an understatement

[iron harness]

BfV’s movement is incomparable to other shooters an also superior.

[silk surge]

Let's hope he's not full of shit again https://twitter.com/_Tom_Henderson_/status/1532039995317428224?t=vYv6SoKnjL1We_U0l_pnrQ&s=19

[fiery shoal]

i just shoot people..

[craggy marten]

Whoever made the takedown animations should be taken down by professional militia people, obviously not to death, but just a little demonstration that actually shows the military move actually like real people rather than broken robots pretending to be said people

[frosty mural]

I love how someone is prone but you pick them up just to sweep their leg and knife them again

[fiery shoal]

ultimate chad move

[arctic grove]

If that’s the idea then I think what would be good is just to have an animation where you get shanked like 99 times

[craggy marten]

That's what I mean, Takedowns need a revamp.

[arctic grove]

Instead of just turning them over then giving them a knife into their chest gift like in 4

[craggy marten]

EVERYTHING needs a revamp.

[arctic grove]

“Yo bro stand up real quick”

[craggy marten]

"Ayo the pizza here-"

(Stands up, gets sweeped down to floor by kick)
"Oh brother- gaaaahhhhh, oh, my ears burn-"
(Gets stabbed in neck)

[scenic tartan]

Everyone's talking about the 880 being op but the k30 can still kill multiple people faster

[craggy marten]

880?

[arctic grove]

I think spud means the MCS

[craggy marten]

In a perfect world, 2042 would have already had like 10 basic game modes in All Out Warfare with no excuses to remove X or Y thing whatsoever

[arctic grove]

[silk surge]

The takedowns do look okay when there are no weird camera angles or animation bugs.

[arctic grove]

And the trailer would’ve been worst than the game

[scenic tartan]

Plus with the 880 flechette rounds you only get 16 shells

[craggy marten]

Soul for a soul?

[scenic tartan]

You can do way more cheap close range kills with the k30

[arctic grove]

Nah, just to represent how much better it would have been received and went, would’ve been greater than the trailer

[scenic tartan]

The mcs-880 the pump shotgun

I hope they don't nerf it

[craggy marten]

Thing is that we shouldn't be accepting mediocrity like this especially when advertised as being some big improvement/evolution of the franchise.

It's like one of those fakeout memes when something is shown and then it just suddenly cuts to some horrid abomination of mankind, as we all know now, that's 2042.

[wanton magnet]

It’s perfect the way it is. The flechette shells are doing better now that everyone isn’t running around with armor.

[arctic grove]

Crowbcat video

[tranquil turtle]

First person animations would've looked better

[arctic grove]

Bro all they are worried is to finish the 1st year with minimal content to leave this game so they dont get sued and start on the next bf game.

[silk surge]

Here's a hot take: they should buff Bolte back to its launch-state now when its in heavy armor category. Choosing Bolte now is detrimental to your team as its wasting a tank spawn.

[arctic grove]

Yeah i would love this too but i honestly think dice wont do it.

[arctic grove]

Ayyyy i know u. Also s1 next week or 2 .

[scenic tartan]

The one hit kill range could be reduced a bit

[scenic tartan]

30mm could be buffed against armor but it doesn't need to be stronger against infantry

[hexed mango]

what is this and why do i have so much damage/min with it

[hearty sky]

Do they really think pushing mtx on an already non existing player base was the smart thing to do? EA really needing scraps

[silk surge]

I haven't tried it myself, but I saw the Jackfrags vid 😁 MCS is basically a sniper now.

[willow sapphire]

man i cant find any games

[hexed mango]

i mean they had plans for mtx long ago, plus it isnt a new thing for bf games

however ive never been a fan of mtx in already pay to play games (like games that arent free, like fortnite or smth)

[hearty sky]

Also are the year one pass holders getting the battle pass with the 20 tier skips or just the premium pathway

[hexed mango]

no idea it doesnt say anything about tier skips for y1 in the eco post

[scenic tartan]

It's just cosmetic stuff that every game has now you don't need to buy any of it

[hexed mango]

even so i just feel off about it

like in fortnite, its basically their only way of making $ besides licensing deals for skins and shiz
but here, you're already paying $60+ for the game, and another what like $10 for the bp, to have skins that are also paid
seems much, but yeah its just cosmetic

[unkempt tartan]

cant wait for s1

[arctic grove]

Weird since they are multimillion dollar company

[lament prism]

Anyone have a good build for the scar and AK? I’m ass with aim on controller and need help stabilizing what I use lol

[real gazelle]

Is 2042 any good?

[earnest nova]

It’s about to be

[delicate fable]

@lament prism try the extendo barrels, they slow the firerate and make them more controllable as a result

[lament prism]

It’s much better than people rash on it. It’s gotten better over the course of updates. You will deff enjoy it especially with season one soon

[lament prism]

Thank you I’ll try them tonight

[delicate fable]

and dont be afraid of the recoil grips even if they reduce accuracy, still better to control the gun than be laser accurate but missing from recoil

[scenic tartan]

No it's horrible and you should only play call of duty

[warped pulsar]

Even if MW2 is awesome, it's still COD, and will play like the others. I don't think noone can really replicate BF.

[manic rain]

Is 2042 dead? Can’t even find a game with like 5 real people in it

[copper fulcrum]

Nothing can replace Halo neither

[manic rain]

Facts bro

[copper fulcrum]

Also surprised they're giving us info on the first day of the month

[warped pulsar]

I'm curious how much better this 1 map is, hope it makes up for the launch maps

[copper fulcrum]

I wonder if BFC will be the same between BFV and 2042

[hearty sky]

Make sure you have crossplay on

[copper fulcrum]

ah yes, a 'cure'

🙄

[drowsy sapphire]

dang

So season 1 is coming out early June?

[wanton magnet]

🤣

[wanton magnet]

That and I doubt they’ll have the same amazing perks og modern warfare 2 had.

[uncut bay]

grow up

[mental delta]

Dude's about to get a permanent ban lmao

[hearty sky]

Nostalgia either way is gonna sell the game hard, they are gonna bring all the OG maps into the rotation eventually

[soft swallow]

Exodus Conquest what hour?

[mental delta]

There's no rotation as there is no lobbies

[edgy oriole]

give skin shop now

[craggy marten]

"I told you man J-u-ne."
(Season 1 of Battlefield 2042 delayed to August 2022)

[arctic grove]

Not even dice themselves can replicate it.

[shell ermine]

Anyone who buys anything from the skin shop is a chump.

[arctic grove]

is one brain celled

[velvet sand]

Gonna need them whales to subsidize the rest of us.

[shell ermine]

We should all be hoping that 2042 doesn't have a meaningful recovery in playercount or revenue, otherwise DICE won't learn shit and we will see stuff like specialists and no server browser in future titles

[hearty flame]

with how lackluster s1 is shaping up to be there might not be a resurgence

[eager lily]

Season 1 is delayed again???

[fiery shoal]

this is fucking gold

[hearty flame]

people have been waiting for 7 months. a few more days cant hurt (im betting release in 2 weeks)

[royal swan]

Getting portal maps to AOW tomorrow is good

[fiery shoal]

did they actually give a date?

[arctic grove]

No people assume mid to late June

[chilly oak]

but who plays 64 conquest over 128

[royal swan]

Normal people

[fiery shoal]

they said early summer, which summer starts june 21st iirc

[chilly oak]

why tho 128 is way better

[royal swan]

Is it tho?

[chilly oak]

yes

[royal swan]

Half players and half bots. Eh

[arctic grove]

Apparently the fanbase

[edgy oriole]

My EAplay isnt registering on origin

[fiery shoal]

i played like 3 rounds of BT, its a clusterfuck and imo not fun

[wide shore]

Unless I’m playing this game at degen hours, I never have “half bot” games

[arctic grove]

I personally enjoyed it but to each their own 🤷‍♂️

[wide shore]

I loved 128 BT

[arctic grove]

Same poetic.... same

[chilly oak]

the lowest players i get in a match would be 45 vs 45

[hearty flame]

No date but they did say more info in june i think. but then tom henderson said recently a s1 trailer next week so im assuming that release would be a launch after that

[wide shore]

I still preferred Conquest 128. Still do. Super disappointed the portal maps aren’t coming to the main mode

[royal swan]

Nah, don't trust that Tom guy

[hearty flame]

I mean its best to take everything he says with some salt because hes a laeker. all the info he gets is second hand and things change internally. but hes gotten things right before so hes not someone to write off all the time

[royal swan]

Not really actually

He also is somewhat responsible for the over hype of the game

[chilly oak]

absolutely

[arctic grove]

Tom is ass

[glass pewter]

yo how is my favorite motherfucking server doing

[royal swan]

Good

[edgy oriole]

I bet tom kinda cute

[hearty flame]

Sure but lets be honest people didnt need tom to hype themselves over 2042

[chilly oak]

waiting

[royal swan]

Ayooo

[edgy oriole]

I meant. i bet tom kinda bad

[royal swan]

[wide shore]

[shell ermine]

I mean is it any real surprise at this point?

[arctic grove]

The marketing team an excellent job hyping the fanbase up.

[wide shore]

I just don’t see the play here. The maps work with 128. They’ve been tested. Why would you play 64 conquest when the base maps are much worse in their 64 player configurations? You can just play flashback conquest and NOT play the default maps and just play the good ones

[craggy marten]

It's a joke.

[fiery shoal]

you mean they did their job?

[wide shore]

128 CQ is the main mode. It needs the injection of content more

[arctic grove]

Yes they did an excellent job.

[eager lily]

Thankfully

[arctic grove]

That was my point. They hyped the fanbase real good.

[craggy marten]

Seeing as how they are bringing Portal maps into AOW, I bet they'll bring in a good majority of the BF3 and BFBC2 weapons, but which attachments will they have? 2042 ones, past ones or both?

[wide shore]

Hopefully both. I like the BF3 holo sight but I’m not a huge fan of the 2042 one.

[craggy marten]

At that point make the 2042 weapons have have classic attachments.

[wide shore]

But probably just 2042 attachments.

[craggy marten]

Yeah, precisely, classic holo sight is best sight.

[calm bison]

I reject this

[craggy marten]

In any game I would say the holo sights are the best, alongside the Kobra sights.

[calm bison]

Fusion Holo is best and so is kobra

[wide shore]

Only gun I use the 2042 holo on is the AC

[calm bison]

But c’mon DICE

[wide shore]

I like the XDR Holo the most

[calm bison]

Where’s my coyote sight

[copper fulcrum]

C-MORE

[craggy marten]

In a world where everything has gone to shit dont you think it would be more resourceful to use older weaponry?

Since it would be less money spent on said newer weaponry

[wide shore]

Man I’ve been saying that in here for months.

[calm bison]

Nah we can’t have old weapons, then the community would complain that we’re lazy!

Look at BFV

[copper fulcrum]

Selbstlader 1906

[wide shore]

I’d love a new specialist from like, the Brazilian Favela. Alongside her, a CQC Favela type map that’s like half flooded. And more older weapons. Like an RPD, Dragonov, AKM. Shit like that.

[craggy marten]

The thing is that here they got the perfect excuse for it in the story.

And in this particular time people want these weapons here

[wide shore]

I really hope the AKS-74U comes over from portal

[drowsy sapphire]

HE GOT MUTED OR BANNED BRUHH

[craggy marten]

I hope that they make a newer version of the prototype XM8 from Bad Company 2, like an XM9 or something

[wide shore]

Put all the XM8 variants in AOW. Yolo no balls

[craggy marten]

Is it called the XM8? I forgot

It's like a scar with a really long and tight arch

[copper fulcrum]

Hey! That was my original name

[wide shore]

Yeah the XM8 Prototype? XM8 LMG & XM8 Compact

All 3 are in portal. And they look and sound great

[craggy marten]

Ok yeah it is.

Another thing I hope that is happening is that the dialogue for all characters are being changed rather than just the two examples shown

[copper fulcrum]

So do you.

[craggy marten]

Since now we are bringing up classic era stuff, like fix the dialogue for the classic soldiers

[wide shore]

Classic soldiers don’t have any end game dialogue though, do they?

I want to use the AN94 in AOW more than anything. That 2 shot burst is pure ecstasy

[craggy marten]

They do.

[wide shore]

I have honestly never noticed.

[craggy marten]

And its even worse than all of the other specialists.

The dialogue in the game for me feels like something that was made as a test rather than soemthing that was meant to be released at full price... makes you think doesn't it?

[arctic grove]

The quips were supposed to represent the apex part.

[craggy marten]

Can they make something original rather than sucking off everything else?

[arctic grove]

I mean thats what everyone been telling them.

[craggy marten]

I know they can, so why not now?

This was the worst moment to be experimenting and dropping a game of a franchise like this, after the whole BFV and BF2 fiasco, if they wanted BF to truly kick ass, then they should have stuck to their own guns, learnt from their past philosophies and make something good

[arctic grove]

I get you man. i really do. Some things are best to let go and make the best of it.

[craggy marten]

What is best to let go? We are currently stuck with Bf2042, BF4 is semi dead, BF1 is dead, BFV is alright on players, what are we meant to do now if we want to play some fun large scale sandbox FPS shooter game?

[wide shore]

Play warzone.

[arctic grove]

Play HLL its a good game

[wide shore]

HLL is good but I wouldn’t really call it sandbox at all

[arctic grove]

And im willing to play 2042 with you peeps if anyone doesnt like playing alone.

[velvet sand]

I mean, there are many other shooters you can play if 2042 is just frustrating. They just won't be BF (or are older BF games)

I'm back in Planetside 2 to get my "meatgrinder" fix now that we don't have 128p breakthrough. Hardly a good replacement and it comes with its own issues, but it's an option.

[shell ermine]

BF4, BF1, and especially BFV all have much more daily players than 2042

[craggy marten]

On STEAM.

[shell ermine]

And PS4/5

[craggy marten]

BF1 is dead af on PS5, wdym?

[wide shore]

Yeah BF1 has like 2-4 full servers on Xbox. At least, last time I played.

[arctic grove]

Xbox has more players

i play hardline sometimes and there is always 1 full server on xbox

[craggy marten]

There's like 2 servers that aren't filled with tryhards and most of those are launch content servers with no DLC maps to enjoy outside of Passchendale

[stone cradle]

Just play the older battlefields, keep them alive as much as you can

Do your part. I'm trying my best.

[shell ermine]

Just checked BF4, 6 full Conquest servers and a handful of partially full ones on PS4

[craggy marten]

How can I do that if I can't have fun due to the amount of crazy tryhard dudes that eliminate you in a millisecond with the best guns and attachments?

Mofos can kill you from impossible angles that shouldn't even be possible to kill someone in .

[stone cradle]

BFV is not 'alright on players' too, it's very alive. I get blasted with so many conquest servers and TDM has around 8 at peak times

[shell ermine]

BF1 has about double as BF4 on PS4.

BFV has about 120 full or mostly full servers on Conquest and Breakthrough on PS4 right now

[craggy marten]

I would like to keep BF4 alive but that game's gunplay is doodoo balls.

[stone cradle]

Just move on and get better, that's all I can say, I get it, BFV matchmaking is a mess, but just accept it and let your mistakes give you guidance on what you need to improve.

[craggy marten]

Mofos get shot right in the face and nothing happens to em, try doing anything in a staircases like reviving your friends, oh right, you can't, especially on Metro.

[shell ermine]

Who the fuck uses matchmaking in any pre-2042 post-BC2 BF?

[craggy marten]

This isn't even a get good thing, there's legit evidence that the gunplay is just busted at times.

[stone cradle]

I had this problem when starting BFV, few months later, and I'm nearly always top 3 on the scoreboard, and nearly always top in scoreboard for score, it really isn't that hard to get good at the game.

[stone cradle]

Oh yeah, I forgot server browser isn't like that. I kind of mean balancing

[wide shore]

I used it a good bit in BFV. At least early on. Was easier than finding a server with enough slots for friends, without them accidentally being put on the other side.

But that’s just personal laziness

[stone cradle]

I never really used server browser in BF1, in BFV, I use it to avoid the maps I find horrible.

And also occasionally find an operation underground match so I can get serious for a few minutes.

[wide shore]

Also, it annoys me that they ended support on BFV before adding an all maps playlist. Now if you want to play, you need to choose strategic or tactical. I want ALL maps

[craggy marten]

"I never really used server browser-" "I use it to avoid the maps I find horrible"

Bruh.

[stone cradle]

Read the sentence again, I didn't use it in BF1, I use it in BFV

[shell ermine]

It annoyed me that they ended support before they added Battle of the Bulge. It was clearly pretty well done based on the fact that it's 100% BFV assets in Portal

And I'll reiterate I'm pissed they aren't adding Bulge to AoW

[stone cradle]

Anyone hyped for season 1? After seeing 1 map being added only, I already know this game will die before the year ends.

[shell ermine]

Just because some trogs apparently don't understand how Conquest Assault works

[arctic grove]

I love the old games

[stone cradle]

And they had quite a few vehicles ready to go too, baffles my mind why they didn't just drop them instead of doing a huge update.

[arctic grove]

Their still alive

[wide shore]

I just hope there’s a lot of guns and a lot to unlock

[stone cradle]

I might come back just because we're getting actual good maps in the game since they're porting over BC2+BF3 maps to AOW

[arctic grove]

Bf1 less dead than bf v

[stone cradle]

Really? I find it to be the complete opposite

[craggy marten]

What platform?

[wide shore]

Only in 64 players conquest.

[arctic grove]

Pc but maybe im wrong

[shell ermine]

https://gametools.network/stats

See for yourself that BFV blows the rest out of the water

[arctic grove]

Havent played either in a while

[stone cradle]

DICE really is that lazy huh.

[arctic grove]

Damn thats crazy

[somber goblet]

I wish I could change the number of vehicles that can spawn

[scenic tartan]

They are 64 player maps

You could do 128 but it's a mess on those smaller bf3 and bfbc2 maps

[stone cradle]

The option atleast would be nice

[scenic tartan]

I wouldn't want to have them added to 128 matchmaking

You would have the real 128 maps and then 4 maps that don't really work for it mixed in

[hexed mango]

nice pfp

you excited for kotor remaster?

[stone cradle]

I've been hyped ever since EA stopped having the exclusive license to star wars, I knew it had to be someday a game like this would get a remake

[hexed mango]

yeah lol

[stone cradle]

And I'm beyond hyped, can't wait

[hexed mango]

although tbh bf2 and jfo were good, and hopefully so is J:S

[stone cradle]

True, Battlefront II just had a bad launch.

[hexed mango]

agreed

wish they would of added more to it though

[stone cradle]

Respawn seem very capable with Star wars, I think I've heard them say they're making a Jedi Trilogy, can't wait for Survivor

[hexed mango]

oh yeah and eclipse

[ember vessel]

is breakthrough getting the portal maps too or just conquest?

[velvet sand]

Just 64p conquest

[ember vessel]

ahh, thx

[silk jasper]

Why in the fuck is 2042 the only game with a broken launch button on origin, all other games OK

2/5 times it launches the other times it just does nothing and i have to restart origin

Universal sign perhaps

[arctic grove]

[arctic grove]

[arctic grove]

[stone cradle]

Damn, the glitchiness of 2042 is trying to break out of the game to spread to other games now

[shell ermine]

Battlefront 2015 was good, Battlefront 2 2017 wasn't

Even after all of the updates

DICE had the perfect arcade gameplay that felt very close to the original games with Battlefront 2015 and they threw it away for some hybrid arcade-core monstrosity with Battlefront 2 2017.

Removed all mobility from the gunplay, punished hipfire, punished playing as basic infantry, made the console fov too tight, slowed down the gameplay overall

[copper fulcrum]

No, they just pose

[wide shore]

That’s what I thought

[copper fulcrum]

They have about 4 or 5 different poses

[tranquil turtle]

bruhh someone just revived me directly behind a sundance that didn't even notice

[young panther]

imagine this game getting beaten by a game called "Clownfield 2042"

[arctic grove]

Who

[edgy oriole]

I havent seen that name in so long. I wonder how much money the people that created that game made off the dumb meme lords.

[copper fulcrum]

It was just a cheap unity asset flip, it shouldn't be paid too much attention.

[edgy oriole]

"Oh dude its so good totally worth 1 dollar." "Haha i paid 1 dollar for a game way better haha" those devs were smart.

[mossy badge]

i dont know about clown

[copper fulcrum]

Imagine being proud that you bought a parody mobile game because you were upsetti spaghetti about the game it's parodying lol

[edgy oriole]

There is this game called police shootout i was gonna get but it turns out to be a FPS turn based game

[edgy oriole]

I wish i was those devs

[mossy badge]

but battlebit is actually kinda cool

[copper fulcrum]

Battlebit is it's own thing, not really a Battlefield clone, more of like Hell Let Loose/Rising Storm territory

[mossy badge]

i am not comparing

i am just appreciating a nice attempt

https://c.tenor.com/QYVmCkSJq4MAAAAC/the-numbers-mason-metal-aniello.gif

[craggy marten]

The numbers?

[mossy badge]

do you know what they mean ?

[craggy marten]

Yes, I do.

They will show you the way

[fossil trench]

Why can’t crossplay be turned off by default

I hate playing with PC players

[hexed mango]

@edgy oriole im playing coop to practice jet

[edgy oriole]

you better at it

[craggy marten]

Console supremacist?

[plucky pebble]

fr console peasant are so easy to kill

[hexed mango]

i guess, i just started SU

[fossil trench]

Nah just don’t like playing with people who may or may not have wall hacks

[edgy oriole]

you dont feel better at it?

[hexed mango]

i mean a tad

its real fun, but im not ready for multiplayer yet lol

[shell ermine]

What I don't get is why the Conquest 64 and now Breakthrough playlists aren't crossplay with last gen now

[fossil trench]

Does anything have cross gen crossplay?

[arctic grove]

ps4/xboxone has crosplay

[fossil trench]

I’m talking about crossgen

[arctic grove]

Ps5/series x/s/pc all crossplay

[arctic grove]

No cross gen

Probably halo infinite

warzone has it

[fossil trench]

Yeah I know

[rain quest]

I thank the for adding classic maps to a conquest playlist in all out warfare. Thanks for listening

[shell ermine]

Fortnite, Apex, Halo, COD

Like I've found one full Conquest 64 game. If I leave and rematchmake I get put into one with 10 players, leave and matchmake and I'm back in the full one.

[tranquil turtle]

you need the 30mm cannons

the 25mm cannons aren't useful against anything but other air vehicles

and even then the 30mm ones are better at combating those + they can do damage to tanks

they need to buff jets or add more content to them

2 guns isn't enough

[white geyser]

The 30mm probably it needs some buff, because it felt like a 20mm

[regal lintel]

i understand you! i dont like to play with console ppl that use aim assist no recoil cronos and strikepad on consoles as well

[hardy leaf]

reading the blog it looks like they have actually started developing the game now,

i like that they realized that the game should have a serious tone.

[solid torrent]

What time the update tommorrow?

[lavish haven]

I feel like EA told DICE to make 2042 a success or be the next bodybag. Not that I'm complaining these fixes are much appreciated and way more than expected.

[wide shore]

Probably the same time as always. Around 8AM EST

[solid torrent]

Thanks

[lavish haven]

OH BOY 5AM! UPDATES 2042

[white geyser]

⏳ ⏳ ⏳

Tick-tock battlefield, for the update

[wide shore]

I just, ughhh

I can’t be excited for this update cause the maps aren’t coming to 128

[modern siren]

Why the AI units look cooler this isint fair

Like they got good future gear and we got some old German women and sitcom characters

[fossil trench]

Talking about BF2042 gamemodes

[arctic grove]

Mackay and Angel: The Dynamic Duo

[hexed mango]

I want 128 breakthrough
I may never be 100% happy again

[wise zodiac]

Sad panda.

[craggy marten]

Why can't DICE just simply make the systems coexist without replacing one another?

Knowing how 80% of the community wants the classes to return that would make the specialists actually special since they'll appear far less compared to generic soldiers if they got added back in.

And if you want to monetize the classes just give them cosmetics as well, just do what Insurgency Sandstorm is doing.

Simple as that.

[wise zodiac]

Or turn the specialists into the requisition classes that you get in SWBF2

Have a limited amount of them

[haughty dagger]

god no that system sucks especially for BF2042

equipment is fine from them. I think people are so hung up on the skins for some odd reason

[sage dock]

I got a suggestion!

All of the specialists make it to The Sims 4.

A link from somebody who’s name is Amongsus. I think I’ll pass

Awh my color finally got snapped.

Anybody know where I can/should go to express a bug within the game.

2 mild problems -

1. some settings in game get switched on/off no matter how many times I switch them back. For me it’s usually “mouse raw input.” Very annoying because I have to switch it off at the start of EVERY match.

2. Vehicle loadouts keep getting reset every so often and once again I have to adjust them. Also very Annoying.

I guess that’s true but wall hacks are the worst. There’s no way to prevent it and no way to detect it

Consoles don’t have that

I feel sorry for Angel. Think his cheery mood is more like his mask because of what's going on in the world.
"Don't be sad, this is just how it works out sometimes."
Poor Constantine. I know how you feel. Don't hide it.

[copper fulcrum]

If only any other game does something like that

Well, you can go into the config file

The one quip they shouldnt touch and remove and knowing dice being a dick will remove his god tier line.

The Specialists are generally well developed. They just need guidance.

[white geyser]

I'll get used to the specialist, but I want the class to come back on the next battlefield game

[arctic grove]

what they need is locked gadgets

[next onyx]

I don't think that'll help.

I'd be willing to look at off hand gadgets once theres balance of the main gadgets and passives of these characters.

[sage dock]

I made eight classes.

[twin cloak]

It's bad when Battlebit remastered does a better job than a triple A franchise

Between getting hammered by Heli's

And being unable to take them down because of the inability to work at a team, and physically impossible to take them down on your own
