battlefield-2042

[shell ermine]

Did scout helis have AA and AT missiles in BF4?

[fallen yarrow]

The biggest issue is with the actual map design though, most flags on most maps have basically 0 air cover. The paths between these flags also have barely any air cover.

[plucky pebble]

also A-10 when, like where my attack jets bois

[pine roost]

My proposed changes would be to reduce the number of rockets, reduce their damage and firerate. Then reduce the spread of the main minigun to shift its power away from rockets and towards the minigun

[plucky pebble]

had laser guided and lock ons i think but mostly people used laser guided to anti armour

[pine roost]

Heatseekers and agms, yes

[plucky pebble]

also remove explosive rounds into the nightbird like what the fuck

[pine roost]

Explosive as in the rockets themselves or the 20mm?

[civic mason]

I mean lock ons are also needed, they just shouldn't do as much damage as more "skilled options" but i think lock-ons should be viable too

[shell ermine]

Does small arms fire damage the Nightbird?

[civic mason]

hence why i feel like you should be able to lock on to jets from a further distance

[velvet sand]

I don't believe so, only the pilots inside if you hit them.

[plucky pebble]

the 20mm but i think

[shell ermine]

That needs to change then

[fallen yarrow]

You can damage the pilot more easily than in other vehicles...or you can use the anti armor rounds to damage the vehicle itself

[plucky pebble]

if main tanks had more like a real role than just camping while their infantry is attacking an obj yeah that would make jets to run laser guided instead of heatseekers

[shell ermine]

Scout helos are supposed to be unarmored so they should take damage from all sources

[plucky pebble]

yeah and while being more agile they can back out of a fight faster so they can survive of lock ons better

[fallen yarrow]

If you want Nightbirds to be damaged by infantry weapons, it should be negligible damage.... more of an annoyance for the pilot like cancelling the auto repair or something. I think the current implementation of using specific anti-armor rounds to damage vehicles is fine

[pine roost]

Like how the planes in bf1 worked

[fallen yarrow]

It needs to be balanced for 64 players though

[pine roost]

But not to that extent IMO, you could spray a plane down 40 points as a support easily

[plucky pebble]

i would love to see auto repair completly removed tho

[pine roost]

I don’t see why it would be any different to manual repair

[fallen yarrow]

I'd love to go back to BFV's vehicle mechanics, but with the classless system right now...and everyone running around with a launcher, it's not viable

9 out of 10 people you kill with a vehicle are going to respawn with anti vehicle stuff and come for you

[shell ermine]

DICE has never been able to properly balance helicopters for as long as I've been playing this series, I'd like to see them at least get closer

[plucky pebble]

to have more repair guys an actually pilots to play a more support role instead of going pop flares and get hit by a small rocket and just auto repair and stay alive

[fallen yarrow]

It starts with better map design. You can't have 90% of the map be out in the open where choppers can hover above and pick off infantry. Jets at the very least need to do strafing runs, so there's downtime between their attacks

[plucky pebble]

fuck yeah i forgot about the infinite lock on nades

[pine roost]

By auto repair do you mean the thing where you hold a button to repair like 1 / V? So you’d actually have to get out to repair?

[velvet sand]

City maps with big buildings for helicopters to hide behind where they can't be shot at while waiting for flares to come up, before returning to larger, open areas to mow down infantry, blow flares, and repeat.

[shell ermine]

Nightbirds should take minor damage from regular small arms fire and have a longer reload time and smaller ammo count for rockets, the Wildcat should have a longer lock on range for its AA missiles, the transport aircraft should have less overall health, and attack helos should have a longer reload time for the secondary cannon

[plucky pebble]

yeah but on 2042 you just press it and gets like 50hp

[pine roost]

Ohhh you mean that upgrade thing that starts repairing instantly?

[plucky pebble]

exactly thats dumb but i guess kinda works since theres too much lock ons

its like they just copied bfv vehicle gameplay and added fuck ton of lock ons and thats it, for me bfv had horrible vehicle gameplay but getting lock ons thats on another level

[pine roost]

If I remember correctly, in bfV that upgrade only repaired broken parts, a very small amount of health and that’s it

[velvet sand]

fuck man, I'd take BFV vehicle balance over 2042 any day. They wrecked house and all, but it also felt meaningful when you'd take one out and suddenly it was no longer a dangerous presence on the battlefield.

[shell ermine]

BFV vehicle balance was helped by attrition. Limited ammo and health for vehicles so even if you couldn't kill one you could force a retreat

[plucky pebble]

for tanks i would suggest to remove that and bring back active protection that encourages to have a gunner so you can repair and back out of the warfare not just getting into front lines and tank like 8 rockets and pop repairs and get some kills

[plucky pebble]

fuck that bring bf4 vehicle gameplay 🙂

[pine roost]

APS for sure would be great to have back

[fallen yarrow]

Nah, this is just random gameplay elements thrown together without any thought/balancing added. BFV had strong vehicles that were contained with attrition (limited ammo, manual self repair, etc.). BF2042 just took the turret rotation mechanic from BFV and threw everything else out

[velvet sand]

Honestly, I'm wondering how much having infinite ammo on vehicles and never having to "resupply" or hang back to reload is fucking up balance. Something like that to force them to be a bit more strategic in their use of ammo or spend more time out of the battle resupplying seems like it could do wonders.

[shell ermine]

MBTs need something like the S-Mine launcher and zimmerit paste that the Tiger has in BFV. It's way too easy to get up close to drop C5 with Sundance.

[pine roost]

The balance in this game is so weird...

[plucky pebble]

if tanks would get destroyed in 4 rocket hits that would make sense so you dont need to have a whole server trying to down a tank thats doesnt even do shit

[fallen yarrow]

Yes, you could choose a spec for ~30hp repair (but no damaged parts) or repair 1 damaged part + 10% hp. And this was capped to one use. You needed to go back to a resupply point to get another use of it

[shell ermine]

I feel like I need to play hyper defensively with MBTs in 2042 where I felt like I could lead pushes with tanks in BFV

[fallen yarrow]

Because if they went within 200m of an objective...they'd be oneshot by a C5 drone

[plucky pebble]

well thats 1 in a million cuz the turret is so slow that even with havijng high sens doesnt do anything

[fallen yarrow]

or the constant stream of sundances flying into you with C5 for their twitch clips

[delicate fable]

thats because youre facing an entire field of people with the ability to carry launchers, lock on fuck off grenades, and flying c5

[plucky pebble]

and dont get me started on the bolte with the pop out mines

[shell ermine]

Or by 10 people with rockets

Dead before you even knew you got hit

[plucky pebble]

yeah having revives and rpgs...

[delicate fable]

i only feel semi-safe to push in a tank when i have two competent gunners

which is never

[plucky pebble]

the only way to take down a tank is to have c4 and the tank being dumb

[delicate fable]

i killed two tanks today with AP LCMG bullets

after they took a healthy dose of rockets

[shell ermine]

Tanks were to be feared in BFV, tanks are to be mocked in 2042

[plucky pebble]

well i meant alone

[delicate fable]

it doesnt help that the countermeasure smokes are fucking useless

sometimes they can relock even if i dont move

[plucky pebble]

still in bfv not being aggressive and slow made me not like the game but for sure is better than 2042

[plucky pebble]

active protection baby

[shell ermine]

We are getting stealth helos but we need stealth tanks. Some kind of coating to prevent or delay lockons

[delicate fable]

or maybe they should stop using lockons as a crutch for vehicles, they are low skill no ceiling abilities that feel bad to use and be on the receiving end of

[plucky pebble]

like if we had all the perks bf4 had on vehicles....

[delicate fable]

like why cant vehicles have dumbfire or wire-guided munitions as secondaries? why is it always an atgm?

[rain quest]

The hell you smoking. Anti armor, c5, c5 drones, m5 rockets, 50 cal it’s almost impossible to charge an enemy objective with a tank without 20 mofos launching missile and freaking anti armor always locking on, and every now and then boom incomes a drone

[plucky pebble]

fucking hate to be infantry and get killed by only anti tank rounds insteaf of your lame 50. cal turret but yeah since turrets doesnt do shit

[plucky pebble]

yeah and how many you see running rocket launchers bruh everyone just runs ammo with some dumb shit cuz theres no real classes

[rain quest]

Don’t even get me started on those relentless jets and helos that abosolute fuck a tank

[plucky pebble]

utility meta 🥵

[rain quest]

Everyone runs m5 rockets yo lol, and anti armor and hack

[velvet sand]

If you think about it...it's kinda a perfect storm. Air players are mad at ground/infantry. Ground vehicles are mad at infantry/air. Infantry are mad at ground/air. Everyone is mad and thinks every other role is unbalanced/broken. I think DICE views this as "Perfect Balance" : |

[delicate fable]

all compounded by bad map design

[tacit sphinx]

tbh actual balance and what some people think is balance is quite far apart

[delicate fable]

infantry have no cover from these lanes of attack since theres no ground cover and certainly no air cover

[rain quest]

Na should be a limit on how many folks can use anti armor and m5 rockets and some type of protection for tanks

[tacit sphinx]

people still complained about AA not being strong enough in bfv where you basically have to breath on a plane to kill it

[solar rivet]

when is the info on season one

[hexed mango]

https://clips.twitch.tv/SparklyRefinedHippoHeyGuys-OTSbbzYW6YcYBpeZ
heheheha i killed that streamer and he hates me now

[velvet sand]

Case in point : D

[plucky pebble]

in removing 128 yeah but still theres too many stupid utility

[plucky pebble]

hence why active protection should be in the game

[rain quest]

Nothing wrong with 128 players just need to be some limits. Let’s be real tanks should led the charge and not be forced to hide in tunnels and on hills far away

[plucky pebble]

we only can dream brother

[rain quest]

And limit a jet to like a few air to ground missiles and that’s it. I’ve literally spent entire matches getting hounded by a jet and spent it hideing under bridges and the second I would drive out two rockets boom boom. And 5 secs later another pass and two more

[hexed mango]

i did it again https://clips.twitch.tv/FantasticReliableAsteriskArgieB8-FgwF--hypN67udGp

[plucky pebble]

i mean i tried 2042 tanks in beta and since i havent touch them cause that literally torture unless you play like a turtle

[rain quest]

Lol. I’ve had plenty of good matches, mostly in flashback conquest on battle of the bulge, 8 armor a peice is absolute sweetness as long as AA can keep the jets and helos in check

A lot of bad matches to thou lol

[plucky pebble]

the only thing that i like being dependable is my gunner but in 2042 is useless to have one 😦

[rain quest]

60 mm mortar gunner is where’s its at, most don’t use it and it’s sad really. If you get a gunner on the mortar that’s knows how to use it they will get way more kills than the driver. one of the best defenses when rushing objectives….. sadly it’s rare to get gunners

[plucky pebble]

i dont know the formula is so bad that i dont see this being fixed and S1 doesnt seems like we getting some of those desire changes

[lilac dust]

So is season 1 just gonna drop out of the blue? We're already a few days into June and no trailer or post detailing it 😐

[tacit sphinx]

it’s literally barely the 3rd of june lol

functionally there have been 2 days in june

[lilac dust]

and it's supposed to come out early june.... 2042 especially needs more than a week in advance marketing for it

People need time to reinstall the game 🤣

[arctic grove]

Just wait bro lol

[velvet sand]

next week prob

[arctic grove]

All anyone can tell you is probably and maybe till we get it from the horses mouth

[lilac dust]

Been waiting 8 months

[arctic grove]

You can wait 1-3 more weeks

[plucky pebble]

wait one more 🙂

[lilac dust]

Nah I'm boutta hop in headquarters and get early access

[arctic grove]

Headquarters?

[lilac dust]

Ok box in a shed then

[arctic grove]

Rip necondaa acc hello new account

[edgy oriole]

sounds like a square

[arctic grove]

True

[rain quest]

Hopefully could die before then, never know

[arctic grove]

Did 2042 have any part in influencing that?

[rain quest]

Maybe

[edgy oriole]

Been awhile since i bragged about this skin.

[velvet sand]

https://preview.redd.it/nnexgt287b391.jpg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c993c78396487bbaeca51a0834cbff3d1de17bc0 is Steve 2042's Gunter? I think so.

[arctic grove]

Dammit gooey gimme your skin

[radiant prism]

How do you get the monthly reward skin for Rao?

[jovial quest]

Ayo I have that too

[velvet sand]

I've seen some people talking about it coming from the EA sub thingy, but otherwise no clue.

[radiant prism]

Yeah I got it now lol, my EA Play thing expired cuz one of my cards expired lol

[velvet sand]

rip card

[arctic grove]

Hey now

[edgy oriole]

ea play

[radiant prism]

Yeah I've got the hat now : )

[edgy oriole]

only if you are the goodest boy that got it in the ~24 hours it was available.

[wide shore]

I waited ONE DAY and missed out on it

Damn Russians.

[arctic grove]

Same.my guy but hey at least i got the Nut Charm.

[edgy oriole]

COULDNT BE ME

[wide shore]

Unironically one of my favorite charms.

[arctic grove]

only good charm and the dinosaur

[scenic tartan]

I think they nerfed the 50mm cannon splash damage to infantry

[wide shore]

Low poly charm looks good on certain skins.

[edgy oriole]

I think my favs are dino, gnome, razer.

[wide shore]

Which one is razer?

[edgy oriole]

or am i thinking of the bottlecap

[wide shore]

Bruh there’s a bottle cap?

[edgy oriole]

hol up booting the game up again

[wide shore]

I remember seeing some people using a glow stick before the game launched. I want that one

[edgy oriole]

razer

[wide shore]

How tf did you get that

[edgy oriole]

prolly a weekly or something idk lol

[wide shore]

AFAIK the only weekly I missed was grin reaper

[edgy oriole]

this is cap'em

[wide shore]

Man I don’t have that one either

[edgy oriole]

[sour meadow]

i wish all winged warriors and aerial aces a very pleasant go fuck yourselves

[wide shore]

Oh yeah? Well, uhh. I have a peacekeeper

[sour meadow]

so do I

[arctic grove]

solo sqaud lvling weapons buring trees hit me up

[warped pulsar]

So the player count survived enough till S1

[wide shore]

Seems so

[hexed mango]

the dino is all i need

i dont think anyone except yourself can even see it lol its so small, thats what she said

[edgy oriole]

Yeah i never pick up anyone elses guns either. too much ammo on the ground

[hidden sand]

Last gen playercounts haven't held up much, I can only ever find one server when matchmaking and they're never full

Hopefully s1 brings it back up somewhat

[arctic grove]

New account just to let you know

[shell ermine]

Weapon charms are the most fucking pointless thing ever

[wide shore]

Maybe. But I like them

Dog tags were pointless but I still liked unlocking them.

It is at least one cosmetic you get to see

[cunning breach]

self harm on the battle field

[forest snow]

Why haven’t they just removed transports untill next patch

[hexed mango]

gooey? or who

[arctic grove]

neco

[hexed mango]

ooooo

[hexed mango]

you got your nitro boosting again?

[arctic grove]

[next onyx]

Im sad we didn't get the bad co 2 charm on bf5.

[desert elbow]

That smiley face one?

[hexed mango]

mhm

this

[desert elbow]

You sure it was never added?

I think I remember seeing it, but it might’ve been on one of those leak videos

[hexed mango]

Rao got the drip

[next onyx]

Oh wait echo that's the earnable hat for rao?

[hexed mango]

for ea play ye

i just bought ea play rn for that...

[next onyx]

What the fuck he has a beard there.

[hexed mango]

he always does...

[desert elbow]

That uniform with his weekly challenge headgear looks so epic

[next onyx]

He doesn't for me!

[hexed mango]

T1

[copper fulcrum]

I think low graphics settings removes the beard

[next onyx]

Graphic settings don't do anything to models.

[copper fulcrum]

Shoulder pads for the hacker

[hexed mango]

im debating which headgear i should use and with which uniform

[wanton magnet]

Do staff shells work against helis? Just unlocked them but I’m been destroying with the heat shells.

[hexed mango]

iirc they do but they are supposed to be at

[wanton magnet]

For the tanks

[hexed mango]

oh wait i mean HEAT not staff, idk

[copper fulcrum]

Dustproof removes the beard

[next onyx]

Yeah because of this I automatically assumed that.

That's actually a pretty neat detail.

[copper fulcrum]

Not the only headgear to change hair/facial hair

[hexed mango]

angel

[copper fulcrum]

Mr. Graves for Irish has him shave his beard
Angel's beanie gives him a mustache
Sundance's Stormwalker has an up-bun braid and another one has it as a back bun braid

[hexed mango]

tactical beanie moment

[next onyx]

By the way, The vector with the 6KU with this skin will always use a differnet model.

Can't even get a good picture of the damn thing haha.

Fucking end the vector spam already.

[arctic grove]

[copper fulcrum]

How about I end you, with the Vector?

[next onyx]

It's weird. Despite the SCAR being buffed it's not being used everywhere here.

Than again the Vector exists and all the shitlords gravitate easy to use guns.

[copper fulcrum]

Over here in the States that are United, it's the SFAR, K30, M5A3 or the GVT

imagine if the Vector was chambered in .22

Like a huge fucking swarm of bees

[next onyx]

Oh wait it's part of its headgear not the outfit it seems..

Eh.

Plus that'd be pretty funny.

[hexed mango]

i used the gvt before it was cool 😎

[worthy inlet]

I used the gvt day 1

[hexed mango]

same

i didnt T1 it in a day, but i did eventually

[copper fulcrum]

Dustproof doesn't have a uniform iirc

[arctic grove]

SOy

[tribal obsidian]

My man

[lost ocean]

exodus conquest is a fcking joke

[hexed mango]

128 BT > exodus conquest

[onyx mica]

i don't like that either

[hexed mango]

does ea play take time to update or smth, cause im still not getting my ingame reward lol... :(

[onyx mica]

yes bring back 128 bt

don't cry please

[copper fulcrum]

I got mine

[hexed mango]

i mean i just bought ea play... maybe thats why...

cause i wanted the rao skin

or did i have to buy ea play on steam, and not origin (i bought 2042 on steam)

[onyx mica]

mine is on steam

[hexed mango]

what about ea play

[onyx mica]

the game though not ea

[hexed mango]

Is EA Play available on other platforms?
Yes! EA Play is available for PC via Steam or Origin as well as on Xbox One and PlayStation®4. Please note: while EA Play is available on multiple platforms your membership is tied to the platform you joined on. If you joined on Steam, your Play List, member discount, and all other benefits will only be available here.
On steam's ea play page...

[forest snow]

Ugh BT is trash

[onyx mica]

no no

[forest snow]

V it was good 2042 it’s just the worst give me a titan mode over BT.

[onyx mica]

[hexed mango]

should i try buying ea play on steam and see if it works, then see (which i 100% doubt) if ea will refund the other purchase i made on origin

[onyx mica]

i don't know try it

[hexed mango]

k

i have $30 steam credit anyways so no big deal

[onyx mica]

correct! go go

[hexed mango]

ok here goes nothing

[arctic grove]

How’d you do your bio like that

[hexed mango]

on discord?

[arctic grove]

Yeah with the BF logo

[onyx mica]

tell me after

[hexed mango]

just use the emojis lol

[arctic grove]

Oh lol

[onyx mica]

[hexed mango]

its a server bio, cause nitro, so i can do that

[arctic grove]

I don’t have nitro yet this sucks

[hexed mango]

i got it

[onyx mica]

ooooo

[edgy oriole]

Get good.

[hexed mango]

LETS GO IT GAVE ME THE AXE i didnt think it would

[arctic grove]

L

[onyx mica]

very nice

[hexed mango]

im so happy

[arctic grove]

Dice should give us the option to have first person knife melee animations

[hexed mango]

now to cancel my subscription on origin cause i bought it twice

[onyx mica]

i actually like axe than knives

[hexed mango]

axe > knife

[onyx mica]

always

[hexed mango]

anyone know if i can refund ea play lol

[onyx mica]

not sure

[hexed mango]

i mean its ea, why would they let me lol

[edgy oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/no-nitro-gif-25827489

[arctic grove]

Nooo stop

[onyx mica]

lol

[worthy inlet]

[onyx mica]

[arctic grove]

Give me my nitro back

[onyx mica]

don't be sad

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[edgy oriole]

[hexed mango]

wait no that was the wrong button

only for changing to ea play pro, it refunds 29$ and charges $99 for pro

no mention of refund.

[worthy inlet]

You realise you just doxxed yourself bruv, might wanna take that down

(first image)

[onyx mica]

hero

[hexed mango]

<3

[onyx mica]

[arctic grove]

Oof

[hexed mango]

bruh im so confused, forums telling me to make a case, but i cant request a refund for ea play... unsure what to do lol

[copper fulcrum]

Repost it, I wanna visit

[arctic grove]

Today I killed a bot named S. Riley

[onyx mica]

haha

[arctic grove]

Sound familiar

[onyx mica]

S. Riley

[copper fulcrum]

What was their rank and team?

[arctic grove]

Sgt and us team

[copper fulcrum]

I know they have M. Jordan

[onyx mica]

haha lol

[hexed mango]

ok im just gonna make a support case asking for a refund lol (ea play)

[arctic grove]

🗿

[tepid agate]

I've had the axe for ages I thought it's just part of an update

[onyx mica]

sweet

i don't have it

[arctic grove]

How refuns work: if your appeal for money back is accepted the money you paid is automatically wired into your bank account from ea's

[tepid agate]

How come?

[onyx mica]

where did it come from again i stopped playing for some months

[hexed mango]

ea play

[tepid agate]

I dunno I thought I had that axe since launch

[onyx mica]

i don't have it

[hexed mango]

check melee lol idk

[onyx mica]

i bought the game on steam

[hexed mango]

you need steam ea play

[tepid agate]

Oh I never knew ea play gives different things thought it's just all the same

[onyx mica]

that is fine i guess

[hexed mango]

as what i found out by buying ea play on both platforms and it not working when i bought it on origin

[tepid agate]

Probably the most brutal of the animation kills

[hexed mango]

but then working when i boughtt it on steam

[onyx mica]

yes i love axes

[wide shore]

Time to try exodus CQ I guess

[onyx mica]

o.o

[fading bison]

Not bad tbf

For 2042

[tepid agate]

Bloody hell what other things do I have because of this ea thing I thought it's all normal lol they should announce them

[wide shore]

I’m sure it’s good on the old maps. But 64 on the base maps is disgusting

[copper fulcrum]

Oh yeah, some of the bot names I recognized were
J. Hendrix
Z. Snyder
J. Black
J. Chan
J. Li
K. Malone

[onyx mica]

lmao

[tepid agate]

I got a random hat and scarf yesterday

[copper fulcrum]

I also at one pointed killed N. Astrand and he had no rank at all

[onyx mica]

i remember karl

[copper fulcrum]

EA Play reward

[hexed mango]

yuh rao moment

[onyx mica]

dang now im curious

[hexed mango]

its this

[wide shore]

I guess EA servers have a different plan.

[tepid agate]

Ah I see YouTubers sharing Amazon prime stuff but not ea stuff

Honestly I never knew that EA play has these perks to it

[scenic tartan]

Exodus conquest is good
Now make it 64 players only and turn all the 128 player maps into two 64 player maps

[hexed mango]

alrighty now we wait as the support guy checks stuff

[onyx mica]

i don't like it now noone is playing the big one after

[hexed mango]

now the only content i do not have is that one logitech skin from that pc or keyboard idr

[onyx mica]

my server is already dying as it is

[wide shore]

No. Just make 128 good.

[hexed mango]

its just a player banner iirc so not a biggie

[tepid agate]

Kaleidoscope is messed up on exo conquest

[copper fulcrum]

Exodus Conquest is 64 players only

[wide shore]

All the base maps are messed up on 64 only.

[fiery zenith]

Ya

[wide shore]

And by that I mean they’re bad.

[hexed mango]

bro no way logitech gave out this...

[fiery zenith]

Manifest is pretty trash on 64. Couldn't stick around to endure anymore.

[onyx mica]

i moved from 128 bt to cq 128 cuz people stopped playing it and now they moved to cq 64 ahhhh

[wide shore]

Persistence error go brrrttt

[onyx mica]

why don't they make 5 v 5 then haha lol jk

[copper fulcrum]

Those actually look good

[tepid agate]

There's only 3 sectors and one sector is near beside the enemy base which is on top of a skyscraper

They just capture their sector beside their base and can parachute to any other sector on the map

Other side has to run on foot to capture them all

[hexed mango]

ikr

[copper fulcrum]

inb4 the blue colors are constantly changing like a Logitech keyboard

[wide shore]

That would be sick

[hexed mango]

damn

[copper fulcrum]

Also a great way to give your position away

[wide shore]

RGB guns pls

[fiery zenith]

Yurr

[hexed mango]

lol
the DICE LA camo in bf4 tho

[onyx mica]

lol

[wide shore]

I legit can’t get on the game rn

Are the servers ded?

[fiery zenith]

That's happened for the last few days

[hexed mango]

however i didnt get any of the ea play charms

[onyx mica]

hm

[tepid agate]

Now I need to see what's normal and what they gave me lol I don't even notice them in my gun in battle 😄

[copper fulcrum]

Does it matter though?

[tepid agate]

I know vehicles are a big part of Battlefield, yesterday when I played Exo conquest on that jungle map, the flow of the game just got ruined by the cannons on those support choppers and minibirds. The map is literally a nightmare for infantry

[onyx mica]

i agree

[hexed mango]

doesnt look like i got any of these

kinda sad ngl

[tepid agate]

I think the opponent had 2 supports air vehicles and a minibird in the air at the same time

Map is way to small for those cannons

[onyx mica]

yep

[tepid agate]

Is there a website I can see actually what is "new" in my collection?

[hexed mango]

a website?

why a website... that isnt how that really works

plus new stuff has a little yellow tag on it ingame

[tepid agate]

Like these pictures you were sharing I thought all this stuff was just a part of the game. I didn't know it's only for EA members so I wonder if I can see the picture for so I know what they've actually given me

[hexed mango]

also dont see this

[hexed mango]

i mean new new stuff will have a yellow tag in the corner so thats how to check
to check ea rewards, just see if you have anything from what i posted pictures of lol

[tepid agate]

I can't at the moment because I'm not at home but I already recognize I have the things you are sharing. I just wonder how many more there are which I have that I didn't know about

[wide shore]

Gawd I finally got on

[hexed mango]

idk cause i cant even find them, im not seeing half of them in my collection

[tepid agate]

There isn't a road map for when they drop the content right it's just randomly given?

[onyx mica]

noone but me lmao fine

[arctic grove]

[onyx mica]

[tepid agate]

Best chance for me in my time zone is to search in the evenings. Afternoon I doubt I will get into any server

[onyx mica]

i will check later

[hexed mango]

the ea help site just says this

making me believe that if you didnt have ea play at the time of the other rewards, you dont get them (or smth like that unsure)

either way, it really isnt a big deal for me that im missing a few charms and a jet skin

[tepid agate]

Wow I guess nice suprise I never looked into lol but I usually just have the normal coloured patterned jets

[tepid agate]

It's much easier now to build up the specialist mastery because of all the bots and Angel got restricted on armor plates.

When I defend the objective with those on top of the skyscraper, and when enemy players or bots come up the elevator I'm just waiting with the riot shield 😄

[onyx mica]

very nice i only use falck and a bit of rao rarely when i got tired of being chased by helis

u know i want to run faster than helis but i am human

[tepid agate]

Yeah I had to switch to Rao in the jungle last night cuz three canon helicopters on that tiny map was insane

[onyx mica]

ikr

[hexed mango]

rao is usually my main, but i play others when i feel like it

[tepid agate]

I usually don't like to use specialists I've already gotten to mastery, so I have five more to work on but when the flow of the game is just getting obliterated by the vehicles I have to change

Last night was the first time I ever went into a game with a hacker

[hexed mango]

yeah rn i play sundance cause i dont have mastery
probably wont play dozer, or irish for complete mastery but other than them i just have sundance and angel to finish

[tepid agate]

Wow that's a lot. Rao was my first mastery but I have Falck, Angel, Dozer, Sundance and Mackey to finish

[onyx mica]

all i see is sundance around me

[tepid agate]

I reported this guy he was honestly invisible and just killing the whole team

[onyx mica]

yea i saw one of those rarely tho

[tepid agate]

Like someone's by the enemy across the objective I ran over there and I got shot and then when I'm looking at the animation he's not even highlighted he's just spraying the team and you can't see him

[onyx mica]

first time i met them i was like wtf where is he i saw only a dot

[tepid agate]

Yeah you just get a little red marker above the head but it's just air there lol

[onyx mica]

lol

[tepid agate]

Must be a new specialist to obtain the Harry potter cloak

[onyx mica]

i sure hope so

i called them as ghost

[tepid agate]

I wonder why thermal optics are not part of this game?

[onyx mica]

so everytime i see them i told team there is ghost in xxx sector

[tepid agate]

Maybe that would help find the hackers

For real though when I come across those pilots who disrupt the whole flow of the map because they are killing everybody, I'm happy to see out the rest of the game just being Rao and hacking his vehicle lol

[hexed mango]

tbh i love the game but there are a few things that i notice each game that tick me off

1. removal of 128 BT, like bruh i liked that mode
2. Inability to track missions during game, or see whatt mission you finished when you do finish one
3. suppressions, they need to add them back, like they are cool

ig some other stuff, but thats the top

[onyx mica]

yea!

[tepid agate]

Yeah I hate that too I want to pause it and see how far I progressed in a mission not wait till the games finished then remember in my head how many I need to do

[arctic grove]

suppression was hated but makes sense, although i guess i can see how it can be abused

[tepid agate]

Didn't they have this in Battlefield V? There's so much old formula they could have just copied into this game

[onyx mica]

i missed 128 bt

[hexed mango]

really? i loved suppression in bf1/4... plus suppression assists, if they think its too much can just be like 5-15xp or smth
idk i thought they were a cool concept, and really well done in bf1

[arctic grove]

suppression has been in battlefield to my knowledge for about a decade

[onyx mica]

but as angel said don't be sad so i am not sad

[arctic grove]

suppression and suppression assists i agree

[onyx mica]

we move on

[arctic grove]

i kinda hope S1 or 2 overhauls the animations in game to make it more like V

[tepid agate]

I'm not too fused about 128 BT now because I already used it to get Irish to mastery. The spam of 64 attackers spamming granades in 1 area helped a lot lol

[arctic grove]

i also like how V did recoil as well

[hexed mango]

they showed new animations in blog

[arctic grove]

oh ye, i mean first person as well

[onyx mica]

lmao

[hexed mango]

oh yeah that too

[onyx mica]

i missed the chaos

[hexed mango]

also the way some gun models are held is fucked up

[onyx mica]

rain of bullets grenades oh everything

[arctic grove]

like Vs running to sliding and sliding to running/standing is really smooth

and of course, real game issues before miscellaneous things, but thats just something i'd like to eventually see

[tepid agate]

I'm not sure but did some of the things in BF4 feel more futuristic than things in 2042? I mean I think that was some maps and DLC weapons which I may be real today but felt a more fitting for a 2042 setting

[arctic grove]

like final stand, i know what you mean

[wide shore]

Suppression was fine was it was visual only.

[white geyser]

It's gonna take more than 2 seasons for BF 2042, season 2 is on this September but we don't know yet.

[tepid agate]

Yes some of those laser guns and those things that shoot you in canisters across the map

[hexed mango]

i feel like if they use stuff from bf1 it would be more chaotic/engaging, and the gun system of v, that would be fun. idk, hope we can

[arctic grove]

yeahhh but ive got a bit of faith in the total 6 months 3 and 4 will take to conclude too

[arctic grove]

i know nyphon as one example didnt really like 1s cinematic and atmospheric elements but i agree, at least some portion of it would aid in moreso feeling like theres a war going on, of course within the bounds of the game engines capabilities

[wide shore]

I’m always a immersion first kinda guy

[white geyser]

BF4 is set in the year 2020, while BF3 in the year 2014. I feel like BF3 is not completely without BF4 in the portal and I said this many times from last time, same goes for 2042 even though 1942 is in the portal.

[tepid agate]

And they are bringing the reworked second map in season 2?

That may be pushed to the final month of season 2 like the first rework map this season.

In so that could be in December? Unless I mixed the timeline up

[arctic grove]

i just hope theres enough time to rework all of the maps

[hexed mango]

besides manifest, i think its ok for now
and tbh i like orbital, but thats just me

[tepid agate]

I think the map with the rocket is acceptable but many others ... Yes

[arctic grove]

oh ye some of the maps are pretty good like orbital and manifest

[hexed mango]

i think they should focus on kale, wwhich they are, and hourglass
maybe also discarded we will see

[onyx mica]

i like the rocket

[tepid agate]

Hour glass holy crap yes please rework

[onyx mica]

uh i like hourglass

[hexed mango]

orbital and manifest are probably my favorite, contrary to popular opinion i kinda like breakaway but the others are kinda mixed

[upbeat sand]

ea is leagally forced to give us at least 4 seasons so lets see what happends at 5

[white geyser]

Although I would be happy seeing the SRAW rocket launcher coming back in 2042, but there's one rocket launcher I'm missing.

[tepid agate]

Have you ever been on top of the skyscraper in hourglass and used a scope to look across the map at the abandoned cities? It looks like the it would be more fun to play in areas lol

[hexed mango]

weekly done

[onyx mica]

i like the skin

but im not flying helis

[arctic grove]

i wish it was universal but it is nice

[white geyser]

I remember, the MBT LAW rocket launcher it fires freely but it acts like a heat seeking missile

[hexed mango]

i fly helis but not that one

[hexed mango]

doesnt it only lock to tanks tho, it goes up and tthen hits them on the top iirc

[tepid agate]

I never fly the helibird only those transport monsters. I think they are much more effective. Because they can kill a large amount of people and transport up to six players at the same time

[onyx mica]

hey echo can you tell me how is the difference between helis and jet since i can fly jet but when i tried heli it feels weird

[hexed mango]

helis and jet are not at all the same lol

[white geyser]

Nope, just point at the enemy vehicle, fires freely, and goes up then hit its target

[onyx mica]

i tried and i felt weird so i jumped out

[hexed mango]

one uses a propellor to traverse up and down, with a rotor for pitch and yaw
jets use jet engines to go forward and rotors for pitch and yaw
jets have their engines at the back, helis on top

[onyx mica]

ooooo u know a lot

[hexed mango]

no thats pretty basic lol

[onyx mica]

ty btw and no i don't know

[hexed mango]

in a more complex manner, helis are able to hover (much like a vtol f35 which is in this game) and able to pitch to move forward or backwards

whereas, jets are moving forward without hovering, and use pitch to turn

if that makes sense

[onyx mica]

i remembered i felt like i was rolling like balls in helis

maybe just my imagination but jet is better for me

[hexed mango]

they control differently

yeah its all preference, before this game i couldnt fly either, now i fly both

[white geyser]

MBT LAW: Smart Anti-Tank missile that automatically detects vehicles near the warhead and guide to the target. Easy to use but low damage from all angles of attack. Capable of locking on to laser designated targets.

They need to bring back the MBT LAW back in 2042, not just the SRAW.

[hexed mango]

this jet skin makes me need to change pants

[onyx mica]

i never fly before i was using tanks and infantry so i tried to learn how to play a jet everytime i get one in matchmaking

[onyx mica]

lmao

[hexed mango]

illegal skin alert

[wide shore]

Can’t do that

[hexed mango]

[forest snow]

yea managed to snag them at launch

[hexed mango]

nice

i have logitech stuff im so sad that i didnt get it lol but its ight

[forest snow]

the playercard looks good to

[hexed mango]

SEX!

[onyx mica]

haha

i feel vietnam now

[solar tinsel]

Fun observation: since DICE rearranged the AoW order, if you play the tutorial video for regular Conquest, it's the Breakthrough video, and visa versa

[hexed mango]

YES! my old ea play got refunded

i forgot to reply to the support guy, im so sad i left him on read, but he said he refunded it and i think i got my money back so very pog

[arctic grove]

damn, that wouldve been cool to grab

[hexed mango]

i also kept my ea play on steam, so very nice

[onyx mica]

i like tall buildings and sand combined

[arctic grove]

i dont know what it is but a little bit of ordinary gun color and that khaki looks so good, part of the reason i really like the M45A1 and sig spear

[tepid agate]

I have that as my current skin lol

[tepid agate]

Yeah same I think the cities out of the map in the distance have more cover lol

[onyx mica]

plus sandstorm i feel epic

[forest snow]

made sure i have enough put aside to buy everything in that store when season 1 starts.

[onyx mica]

but yea e sector is so far away in hourglass, my heart is beating fast when i use tank to cap it cuz i know helis will be there in a sec

[tepid agate]

I don't even know where e sector is lol I think I'm level s 130 something. Probably put a lot of hours in but all the dissatisfaction I've had I've just forgot about all the exact locations lol

[onyx mica]

the sector let me see if i can get a picture but the helis are all there cuz they can hide between tall building and mine is not wildcat so

[arctic grove]

ill be quick to grab up the militaristic stuff

[tepid agate]

Oh I think it was one of those sectors where the hacker was at yesterday because it was in between the skyscrapers on the ground lol

[onyx mica]

i found it in google

[white geyser]

Portal can make me busy, sure I got other games to play until season 1 update is release.

[tepid agate]

Yeah e1-e2 was the hacker lol

[onyx mica]

i saw them there too e sector

[tepid agate]

The map photo is actually misleading because E2 is further down the line than E1

[onyx mica]

yea i was googling

[tepid agate]

I used to spawn on E1 thinking it's the furthest point away on the map but it's behind lol

[forest snow]

already know they will put the bundle prices at a awkward amount

so ill just buy 13,000 and be done with it ha

[onyx mica]

oh is it

[tepid agate]

Yeah E1 is the skyscraper which is actually the middle objective in that sector

[white geyser]

AOW they need to rework it, not just reporting players if they're hacking, but banning would make it work like in portal.

[tepid agate]

Well I reported the guy let's see what they do lol

[forest snow]

did they say the weapons they are adding from portal to AOW will come at the launch of season 1 or later down the line in season 1

[onyx mica]

it feels like suicide everytime i go with tank to e sector

[arctic grove]

yeah E is terrible for armor

[onyx mica]

i mean i can't even aim up not wildcat

[arctic grove]

i feel weird flying anything through it too, because i feel like someone will just delete me with a rocket

[tepid agate]

Sudance grandad with a rocket launch can handle it easily lol

[onyx mica]

but i am mother falck

[tepid agate]

Granades.... Grandad looool

Auto text

[onyx mica]

i run there if my jet almost died

[forest snow]

i bet season 1 reveal on the 7th then season 1 starts 14th

[tepid agate]

Not sure weapons are coming over. Giving us those maps and old weapons I guess is them classing it as new content because they can't actually give us new things fast enough. But it's better than nothing

[arctic grove]

well 'new map' in the roadmap makes me think theyre really only talking about ridge, 'new guns' could really mean both, although i hope it just means the datamined ones

in fact the dev video pretty much confirmed its ridge thats coming

[forest snow]

yea defo the datamined weapons are what we are getting

[tepid agate]

They said they would cherry pick weapons from Portal and add them to the main game

[forest snow]

they have been there since the open beta in the files.

[arctic grove]

im honestly fine with that since i heard theyre also having stats and feel reworked for aow

[tepid agate]

Season 1 is that big chance to fix the bridge between themselves and the larger community. Season 1 road map didn't look so promising due to the time frame of everything getting out but let's see what happens

[forest snow]

more looking forward to the rebalancing of weapons and vehicles tbh

[tepid agate]

So YouTube is saying they shouldn't have even put the cannons on the helibirds

[onyx mica]

i missed my bolte since they put it in same socket with other tanks

[tepid agate]

Holy crap I'm so happy I see less of them things now lol

[onyx mica]

no no we need racing car in our life

[forest snow]

k30 nerfed, mp9 nerf and 50mm on transports removed sorted.

[tepid agate]

The next vehicle to fix is this damn transport vehicles they need to also move over to attack air vehicles lol

[tepid agate]

The bobcat thing feels pretty weak against air vehicles too

[onyx mica]

lol

the kitty cat

they need more rockets

[tepid agate]

Just remove the cannons from the transport vehicles and the helibird and we're all good

[arctic grove]

mav should also have a seat or two named passenger added to it, since the mav isnt really transport as the only 'misc' seat is spotter and ive seen guys in chat say to people leave spotter so others can spawn

its overcomplicated basically

[forest snow]

anyone that uses the k30 right now should be getting at least 70 or more kills a game its that broken

[arctic grove]

i feel bad for using it tbh

[tepid agate]

Oh and if somebody can get bots in their freaking vehicle oh my God. You cannot flank a vehicle to save your life in 2042 if they've got bots in there it's like they know you are at any angle and just start firing at you

[onyx mica]

i am not using the smgs since it is too op

[arctic grove]

lowkey i feel so relieved when i see bots in my vehicles

[white geyser]

I'll be waiting and being added in the portal, after they're done reworking the maps, adding new vehicles, and the new specialist they're working on. I need 2142 in the portal to create matches like 2042 vs 2142 when the timeline got messed up, BF4 vs 2042 more updated WW3 match than using BF3.

[forest snow]

im quite happy using my m5a3 with high power round and dual mag scope.

[arctic grove]

and RIP any remotely low-flying aircraft because they will blast those too

[arctic grove]

m5 with high power rounds is so good

[onyx mica]

bots in tank is so much better

[forest snow]

keep it as close to the real sig spear as poss

[tepid agate]

We can't compete with you

[onyx mica]

they see everything!

[arctic grove]

yeah, i noticed with the high power mag it looks suddenly a bit more like the real sig spear, i also run the long barrel too (since i feel like with the beefy handguard it just fits)

[tepid agate]

It was on manifest on that hill hiding near a bush. Is dark as night and I'm creeping up on this tank and then it just starts firing at me

I ended up dying for how the hell did they even see me and then it says killed by AI

[onyx mica]

ai is op i said

[arctic grove]

they like to run out in the open but dont underestimate them with the SVK

[onyx mica]

esp as ur crew

[tepid agate]

I think they are overpowered just in vehicles when they are supporting because it's like they have that scanner on and can just always detect you

But when you are on foot you can kill them pretty easily

[onyx mica]

they see what u don't see

so fast in tanks

[tepid agate]

Yeah I bet bots can detect all mines because they are programmed that way and they would never drive over a landmine

[white geyser]

Can't handle something is OP huh? pathetic almost like you can't wield OP weapons showing you're not strong enough to hold it.

[arctic grove]

wat

[onyx mica]

their program is good yea i think bf ai is the best of all the games i played before

[tepid agate]

We all hate Op things lol

[onyx mica]

i watched them play sometimes man they are smart

[arctic grove]

they also make the maps fuller too since they cross portions players just wont go to

[hexed mango]

tbh yeah but seige ai might be better

its all dependent on the case, like Fortnite AI is pretty good cause it makes up 99% of players /j

[tepid agate]

As well create a portal terminator experience

[arctic grove]

and with bots the game feels strangely a lot more intense

[white geyser]

I fight OP with OP

[onyx mica]

prob but i don't play r6 much so i might not notice

[hexed mango]

true

[tepid agate]

What's op against those cannons if you don't have a cannon lol

[onyx mica]

also i don't play fn

[hexed mango]

but the bots in training are so goated

[onyx mica]

terminator lol

[tepid agate]

Yep stick all of these bots in the portal server and just play against terminators

[onyx mica]

u know i am using the bot as scout so when i see them shooting at something or some direction i will go there to check

i found rats

[tepid agate]

You could snipe them and do a bit of damage and they will turn around and start firing at you from a mile away lol

[onyx mica]

yea

[tepid agate]

I guess you guys have already seen those broken shotguns which can kill you from so far away lol

[onyx mica]

ikr

[white geyser]

BC2 moments

[tepid agate]

I thought shotguns were the worst weapons added to a game with the 2042 map designs they're so open. But not with this new shotgun buff 😄

[white geyser]

I feel like I want to use shotguns as a sniper rifle, just like bad company 2

[onyx mica]

it is a sniper rifle!

[tepid agate]

The kaleidoscope rework is coming at the end of season 1 but is the new map coming at the start?

[arctic grove]

ye, itll be at the start

[onyx mica]

new map ooo

[arctic grove]

i like how its been datamined to have a dedicated playlist too, i really cant wait

[arctic grove]

I need some in my vehicle

[upbeat sand]

the new 64 version of conquest is really good

[scenic tartan]

breakthrough should be air vs ground and the attackers should only have air vehicles and defenders only ground vehicles. both would have the jeep/hovercraft

[onyx mica]

nooooooooooooo

[tepid agate]

How is the air vehicle going to capture the objectings just hover over it while tanks blow them up? Lol defense would always win

[scenic tartan]

no, the air vehicles provide cover for the infantry and spawn in players. And target their ground vehicles
The air vehicles never cap objectives

the transport is a big problem but only if there are no wildcats around to harrass them. The solution is more wildcats to balance things out

[tepid agate]

Oh because you just said air versus ground and give attackers air vehicles and defense ground vehicles I thought it was an only vehicle battle haha

Yeah transport is a big problem. Just remove it as transport and move it to attack

[scenic tartan]

right now the defenders transports just die and there arent enough wildcats to counter the attackers 2 transports flying around fucking everything up

the wildcat is a good counter to it but when the defenders can only spawn 1, and only if someone else doesnt take the tank or bolte instead, and then it takes 2-3 minutes to get another one.. its just not effective

[wide shore]

Using dozer makes me not want to be alive

[upbeat sand]

?

[arctic grove]

Go Boris instead

[grizzled whale]

guys its been june for 3 days where update

[white geyser]

We need the anti-tank NTW-20 rifle in 2042, so it would be like BF1 except it's not a pick up item.

[grizzled whale]

it literally is in the game

[white geyser]

It is? I never check it since I got busy with the specialist and other weapons

[grizzled whale]

its renamed to NTW-50, buts its based on the NTW-20

1 shots anywhere on the body within 150m iirc

but its trash against vehicles(footage shown is hardcore)

[white geyser]

Luckily I have zombie portal custom matchup, I'll be using the the NTW-50 against the AI zombies, if I have time

[grizzled whale]

its fun against infantry

[wide shore]

It got nerfed into the ground tho

Speaking of nerfed into the ground. What did they do to my baby (PKP)?

[grizzled whale]

PKP is still a great gun

[wide shore]

Even when using the bipod she kicks like a mule. Idc if it kicks when firing it from the shoulder but the bipod seems useless now

[grizzled whale]

it just takes some skill to use now

Lcmg better now

[wide shore]

Look I had it T1 before it got buffed. It had insane recoil from the shoulder but very good accuracy bipodded. Now the bipod sucks

[lost ocean]

EXODUS CONQUEST SUCKS REMOVE IT

[grizzled whale]

why does it suck

[worthy inlet]

Because reasons obviously duh

[grizzled whale]

shut

[wide shore]

I agree the 2042 64 player CQ maps suck

But the classic maps rule.

They should’ve put them in 128

[grizzled whale]

isnt exodus conquest only maps from old BF games?

[wide shore]

I thought it was the 4 old maps mixed with the base maps

Flashback Conquest is 2042 CQ with classic maps only

[chilly jacinth]

the classic maps are way too small for 128 players

it would be like playing breakthrough meatgrinder on every map

[white geyser]

Classic maps will stuck with 64 players, tch but we're use to it if you play the previous battlefield games.

[copper quarry]

whats better battlefield v or battlefield 2042

[uncut bay]

v

[copper quarry]

i personally dont own battlefield 2042 so idk what its like but just looking at trailers i still like battlefield v since its old war not modern

plus the guns are cooler

[chilly jacinth]

gotta say 2042 cause i hate ww2 era

[viscid pewter]

i have a comfy seat to play in

[uncut bay]

i dont like world war games but bfv still manages to be better

[copper quarry]

now last but not least

battlefield v or battlefield 1

[uncut bay]

v

[white geyser]

BF1, first time playing a game set in WW1

Back to the first question, I'll go 2042 I'm done with this world war games, too many WW2 games is a completely headache

[copper quarry]

what about a Vietnam war game would you play that?

[hidden sand]

There's only been 3 triple a WW2 games in the last ten years though lol

[white geyser]

I'll probably play it since I never play it

[heady sparrow]

I would like to see an inter war Germany battlefield type game

[arctic grove]

No and a ton of people would absolutely hate that as well

[heady sparrow]

Or inter Europe

[hidden sand]

There's been way more modern warfare games than ww2 games for a while now

[white geyser]

Cold War, unlike COD how they messed it up if battlefield can do cold war I hope it's better

[arctic grove]

I’d take a WW2 that does a BF1 take on the uniforms and cosmetics honestly

BF1 factions look pretty dope

Just include the French, Russians and Italians this time

[heady sparrow]

• good voice acting Q's the one in bf5 and 2042 is meh

[arctic grove]

I don’t mind whatever but I beg dice to at least give us a traditional feeling battlefield in the modern era after 2042.

It’s been 7 years since the last modern war battlefield

[arctic grove]

BF1,3 and 4 voice acting:

[white geyser]

I kept BF4, if I have the urge to come back playing it, I did went back playing BF4 two months ago

[heady sparrow]

They should make a ww3 with 15 factions many maps 4-5 classes and 100+ weapons i don't care how much it takes i want it

[arctic grove]

BF4s great but after about 650 hours across the past half a decade I just want a battlefield that has elements of the newer titles, sliding, the gunplay, the customization, stuff like that

[heady sparrow]

They have billions trillions of dollars why can't they upgraded from the previous games

[heady sparrow]

Yee

[arctic grove]

A traditional actual faction Vs faction (more if dice really wants to spoil us) battlefield with modern elements we’ve seen in 1, V and 2042 is all I ask and you can get all the WW2 and Cold War you want

But of course out of the millions of players dice must listen to me first

[arctic grove]

Something cool that you almost never see, like Canada or India lol

[white geyser]

I would love a WW3 game, maybe set in the year 2060's, and whatever upgrade weapons and vehicles that's completely different from the old ones

[arctic grove]

Near future is pretty cool, especially when it comes to infantry outfits. In 2042 you can tell the Russian AI are using an advanced infantry combat system (what they’re called irl), little display on the goggles of most of the models, US AI assault also has a similar thing

[white geyser]

However adding more than 3 factions in the WW3 games, I worried it might not fit in the game having more 3 factions to make some room to create WW3.

[uncut bay]

same, futuristic settings are my favorites. Really liked what BO2, 3, and IW brought to the table in terms of story and equipment

it's just far more creative. I've already read all about history, i don't want to play something that's been copy pasted from reality, i want to play something new and exciting

[white geyser]

The timeline for WW3, IDK probably might be close to 2142

[arctic grove]

It’ll be in approximately 59 seconds

[heady sparrow]

Yes dude i have the list already here it is
USA
UK
POLAND
GERMANY
ISRAEL
ITALY
SPAIN
JAPAN
VS
RUSSIA
KAZAKHSTAN
CHINA
NORTH KOREA
IRAN
PALESTINE
IRAQ
INDIA
That's 16 but ok

[arctic grove]

That’s a crazy amount of modeling to do

[heady sparrow]

They got the money and it can be a real live service game

[white geyser]

My goodness, that's gonna take a lot of work to make a model and other things to add

[uncut bay]

that's absurd and will never happen

[heady sparrow]

Live service add 2 factions for each season it can be less factions fine but here are some ideas

[uncut bay]

christ almighty

[heady sparrow]

Like 10 or 8

[arctic grove]

I’d be fine with a customization system for 2-3 US allied factions and likewise for RU that’s like V, in the sense that you can equip different specific uniforms, helmets, what not

[heady sparrow]

Like what ww3 is doing

[arctic grove]

Mix and match MARSOC with green berets if you really want to

[heady sparrow]

The list is about ideas don't take it that serious

[white geyser]

I want this upgraded version of the MAV, in WW3 but unlike its original counterpart, this upgraded version is meant for battle and transporting your squads.

[arctic grove]

Nah but you’re not wrong, a small handful of factions for both sides could really sell skins for both

[heady sparrow]

Mixing skins would be awesome but that need more modeling than what I said with the factions

[heady sparrow]

Not like a crazy Russian or US guy with fire on his head

That's just stupid

[arctic grove]

Fire on the head is the newest military trend though

[heady sparrow]

Or even better SANTANA BRINGS DEATHS INTO THE BATTLEFIELD

[heady sparrow]

?

[arctic grove]

Nah, just kidding, I mean like how MW19 did it’s customization for both factions milsim skins

[heady sparrow]

I have heard that mw19 had good customization but what we need is twice of the options that y i said many factions

[arctic grove]

I never got any of the MW19 milsim stuff

No point in really buying any till I can get ahold of an SSD upgrade for my 5 so I can actually have it on my console and not delete everything else I play

[heady sparrow]

I never got mw19 because of how sweaty it is

But i have seen a ton of GamePlay

[arctic grove]

You seen those YouTube shorts of people streaming Rebirth?

Awful, I’d uninstall and call them hackers if I ever ran into something like that

People are getting their ankles broken by stim slide in COD

[heady sparrow]

Dude yes how much HAVE THEY BEEN PLAYING

[arctic grove]

Imagine trying to play tactical by aiming around corners

Then a dude with two burst Renettis and lasers busts the door open, slides past you out of your FOV and sends you to your maker

[heady sparrow]

I scream like a bitch

[arctic grove]

I’d just go into depression and start investing in insurgency or squad

[upbeat sand]

that 1 image of rao hacking a atm for the children is nice

[arctic grove]

It makes me feel bad for him being hated for just existing

[heady sparrow]

What i said with factions is actually possible if you thing about it 4 of them in launch
2 per season 6 seasons =12 factions

And that will be a real service game in MODERN GAMING

[arctic grove]

Yeah, although I’d be fine with just US, UK, (?) Vs RU, China, (?)

[heady sparrow]

Yeah sure

[arctic grove]

India and Pakistan for funny?

[heady sparrow]

Yes just for the jokes and the memes

Going with a rocket and scream i love Pakistan

Or becoming a indian computer scammer

[upbeat sand]

whats the best way to punish someone who waits in spawn until a tank or a hele is ready

in all bf games

[arctic grove]

No cure really, used to question how those damn pilots in 4 were so quick to the draw

I guess just join the enemy team in the games you can and make their time spent in the menu useless when you’re destroying them every time they spawn

[chilly jacinth]

people use a macro to get the vehicle they want first

[arctic grove]

can’t be mad at it I suppose

[bleak fossil]

😪

[next onyx]

Yes.

[shy latch]

absolute not, it's always 64p game mode but it just changed the name and added 4 portal maps; I can't afford to play on 128p servers (yet)

[next onyx]

@lost ocean If they nuked hourglass from it and replaced it with orbital it would be much better.

[shy latch]

I hope Hourglass will be part of the second bunch of revamped maps together with Breakaway

I'm just sad that reworked Renewal will come during S2, I hoped was released with Kaleidoscope

[patent path]

I just want more guns to sate my ape brain

[last swift]

(Just a thought) The area around the oil rig on Breakaway could have been a good area for naval warfare... maybe. Unfortunately, it's ice instead of water...

[shy latch]

there will be new guns at S1 lunch

[patent path]

what about dinner

[shy latch]

you are on diet, no dinner

[last swift]

[patent path]

no

https://tenor.com/view/italia-italian-gif-10523052

[night vessel]

that looks ewww

me want this

[fossil trench]

Why do people use the vcar?

Is it secretly op or something lol

[night vessel]

are servers down for AU

[shy latch]

good question, I guess the most still use it is for T1 it or maybe because they use macros (and probably they do, a couple of weeks ago a guy killed me with vcar but the shots I received were too fast)

[next onyx]

They're up.

[patent path]

3-shot kill if one is a headshot at basically any range

meanwhile lmgs are trash

[fossil trench]

Yeah that’s exactly what I was thinking

A mouse macro

[chilly jacinth]

i used it for this weeks challenge

[patent path]

the spread on that thing is ridiculous if you spam it, why would anyone want to use macro

[chilly jacinth]

doesn't matter if you use it like an smg

[fossil trench]

It would be great at close range

[chilly jacinth]

and im pretty sure it has a firerate cap even if you macro it

[fossil trench]

High damage low recoil

[tacit sphinx]

yeah the vcar is decent

[shy latch]

3-shot kills at any range sounds weird, as far as I understand the vcar shouldn't be effective at medium-long ranges

[tacit sphinx]

got the shit meme gun reputation because it did just suck for a bit but it’s actually pretty decent, wants to be used like the m1a1 or the pistol carbines in bfv

[patent path]

it's 3 shot kill at medium range at least, last time I checked

[tacit sphinx]

mostly good for closer range, fairly spammy but you can still make precise shots at a bit more range

[patent path]

headshot is essential for vcar

[shy latch]

ok precise shots with longer range makes sense, but the bullet damage should be very low

[tacit sphinx]

i forget the snipers all have OHK up close lol i had a couple of times yesterday where i was up one of the radio tower things, someone came up the zip behind me but i hit them once and they died

[pine roost]

What’s the vcar?

[tacit sphinx]

a dmr

[patent path]

a pistol with a really long barrel

[shy latch]

is the third weapon under DMR category

[chilly jacinth]

an smg that wants to be a dmr

[pine roost]

That’s a strange looking dmr

[tacit sphinx]

by “DMR” the game kinda just means semi auto rifle honestly

[shy latch]

as far as I understand it's a short barrel DMR, so a sort of carabine SAR

[tacit sphinx]

you could put the vcar in utility and the gvt in DMR honestly, it fits the dmr role better

or honestly it could be a sniper

but utility/miscellaneous is fine for it as well

[shy latch]

yeah, probably that's why they putted the gvt under utility

also because is not a SAR nor bolt action

[tacit sphinx]

i hope we get the m39 emr from portal

it’s a cool looking rifle

the dragunov svd would also be nice, although i think the SVK is supposed to be a replacement for it both in game and irl so it might not make the most sense? you could still definitely make them distinct enough and i think there’s a ton of dragunovs floating about still(?)

[shy latch]

I love the SVK even tho I don't use it often, but when I use it..... 🤤

so do you think instead of introduce new weapons on S1 they'll just add some from portal?

[tacit sphinx]

they’re definitely adding new guns but they’re also reworking some of the portal guns and adding them to aow

i don’t know what the timeline will be for that, it might be that there’s a few portal guns available throughout s1 in the battle pass, or they do a mid season drop of some guns, or they’re weekly rewards

[shy latch]

yeah I think the same

[tacit sphinx]

i guess my wishlist is basically just one gun from each category if there’s only a limited amount

obviously ideally they’d add basically all the bf3/bc2 guns over time, which i think it’s the intention but it sounds like it’ll be spread out a bit

[shy latch]

at least there will be 7 new weapons (including the pistol), and yeah the bf3/bc2 weapons have a huge spread probably because they imported from the original game as they are.
apart from that in case they should add some weapons from portal to aow there should need to have more attachments, as of now there are only 9 (on best case)

[analog fractal]

Season 1 info now

[tacit sphinx]

they said that when portal weapons are added they’ll have updated stats to be in line with base 2042 weapons + gunplay, along with cosmetics + mastery challenges and likely some slight changes to the models and possibly animations

(and 2042 attachments lol i thought i forgot to mention something)

it would be kinda neat if certain attachments made it from portal to aow tbf

a couple of the sights are kinda nice, and i assume the grenade launcher models will probably stay as they are on portal guns

i don’t like the design of the standard underbarrel launcher, it looks weird

[pine roost]

so I've tried out a round of conequest with the stinger to see what it's like, the only complaint I have is that the locking on phase is rather stuttery and takes so long because of that, looks to me like more of a network issue though

the after flares also take quite a while but besides that it seems fine

Managed to get a hind kill and a nightbird with not much effort

[proper sinew]

I see there is no AIs in friday night battlefield

[next lynx]

Is anyone else kinda digging exodus conquest atm?

[shell ermine]

64p Conquest is definitely better paced than 128p and the small cuts of the 2042 maps are better than the large versions, though still not good

Though I'm not a fan of Arica's CQ layout

[tranquil turtle]

I like playing on the portal maps but not on the base ones

[next lynx]

Yeah

[tranquil turtle]

The fact that hourglass was approved to be in there is embarrassing. It's awful

[next lynx]

Ay lol

[tranquil turtle]

Reworking hourglass should be somewhere on dice's roadmap

All of the objectives are on the edges of the fucking map with a giant empty desert in the middle

[next lynx]

Yeah

[lunar berry]

I guess early June is next week?

[tranquil turtle]

It's impossible to traverse between objectives without a vehicle

And I never find any jeeps or 4x4 utilities anywhere

[next lynx]

I guess i'm just happy there are more maps in the rotation tbh

[tranquil turtle]

Maps that actually use space effectively

[next lynx]

Valparaiso has been pretty fun, haven't played much of it in this game

[shell ermine]

Valparaiso makes me mad about Arica Harbor.

Valparaiso is essentially a new map, huge parts of it were not playable in BC2.

They could've expanded Arica Harbor in the same way instead we got this cramped setup with the awful B objective.

Also really hate this sector nonsense, especially on the Portal maps.

[arctic grove]

new update when ?

[still vault]

somewhere between 2 days ago and in little over 3 weeks

[chilly jacinth]

this month

[mental delta]

They enlarged the map for conquest exodus ?

[shell ermine]

Portal, but yeah

This was the extent of the map (in Rush), Conquest was mostly in the middle village but I can't find an overhead map.
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/battlefield/images/4/49/Valparasorush.jpg

[hidden sand]

I'm really surprised more people haven't talked about how poorly conquest works. Having to control a sector to cause ticket bleed is ridiculous.

Conquest is pretty much unplayable on last gen because of this and horrible level design.

[shell ermine]

2042 Conquest is worse than BF1 Conquest on maps with sectors.

At least Caspain Border and Noshahr don't use sectors

[arctic grove]

Hello

[thick tusk]

Playing cq64 on BF3 and bad company 2 maps feels right. Then you go back to a 2042 map with 99% less cover/foliage/objects in the map and it feels totally unfinished and bad. How did they mess up the maps so bad.

[forest snow]

africa harbour i though they could at least include the highway as the spawn

[arctic grove]

They'll patch it later why are u complaining

new season when guys ?

[thick tusk]

Idk how they could have "play tested" the barren open maps and said. You know what this feels good. Lol

[arctic grove]

next week ?

[mental delta]

"Early June"

[wide violet]

june 23

as in June 2023

[arctic grove]

...

[last swift]

We can agree on soon™ 💀

[mental delta]

June rhymes with "you all have been clowned, season 1 is never gonna be in June and expecting it is as dumb as aiming for the moon"

That's official Dice declaration

They said it trust me bro

[dusky blade]

But it’s gonna suck

[real ether]

Does anybody know the actual difference from exodus Conquest to Conquest

[lucid goblet]

exodus conquest has maps from portal included

normal CQ is just the base 2042 maps

[mental delta]

Carpo stop playing with my mental health and give me infos

[real ether]

Ohhh

[mental delta]

Can't you see that I need it

[real ether]

I thought there was new maps

[lucid goblet]

new map coming with S1

[real ether]

When's that

[dusky blade]

Should be at least 6 maps really

[lucid goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-homer-simpsons-hide-disappear-gif-16799752

[last swift]

Especially combined with soon™ -> soon™

[lucid goblet]

All i know is it's "Early June" whatever that means

[dusky blade]

Back in the good times

[real ether]

Imagine they pull of making like 15 maps 5 new vehicles 20 new guns

[last swift]

Could be June 2023

[mental delta]

If we get an announcement less than 1 week after MW2 announcement the timing will be terrible lol

[real ether]

[arctic grove]

I heard a rumour that it’s gonna be the 16th

[unborn herald]

all I hope is that season 1 provides us with more content

[mental delta]

Everybody will be talking about MW2 and the season 1 will just gets invisible lol

[unborn herald]

something to do

[arctic grove]

Isn’t mw2 really bad according to the people who have played it?

BF7 when?

[lucid goblet]

2024

[mental delta]

Yes... content... 👉 👈 huh 😬

[lucid goblet]

probably

[unborn herald]

play the beta first

then judge

[mental delta]

It hasn't released yet

[mental delta]

After BF6 maybe

[night vessel]

but that's the meme

[arctic grove]

Some ppl have played it early though right?

[arctic grove]

i swear if it has specialist again

[unborn herald]

june 8th.... it says in your picture

[mental delta]

That's over you already said it would be 2024, I know you know something and you'll not be able to make me forget that

[arctic grove]

Dice when we ask for season 1

[analog fractal]

BF2042 doesn't even have flashbangs

[unborn herald]

oh yea

[arctic grove]

It has EMP grenades instead

[last swift]

season 2 = soon²

[mental delta]

It doesn't need, specialists are so weird you immediately want to close your eyes when you see them

[night vessel]

feels sad.
EMP nads are somewhat a flash bang

oh no lol

[last swift]

maybe we will get Will Smith as a flashbang specialist

[mental delta]

2042 doesn't even have a background story neither

[arctic grove]

It does

[night vessel]

it does bruh

[mental delta]

It will never get updated again

[arctic grove]

More of a slap specialist maybe

[mental delta]

They cancelled HZ and that was the way they planned to developped the story

[last swift]

😂

[analog fractal]

It's funny how they're giving Woody, I mean, McKay a beard in the update but they've already given Angel a beard in a skin

[arctic grove]

If they can actually make Angel look good I will be VERY impressed

[mental delta]

I know guys who really look the same that's weird

[analog fractal]

OG Angel already looked good imo

[mental delta]

He always does

angel is literally perfection

Angel with beard is a nice alternative tho

[grizzled whale]

You might not like it, but angel is what peak a peak human looks like

[analog fractal]

I wish I could give him the beanie without the beard too

[arctic grove]

You guys still play 2042? I didn't play after December I think

[analog fractal]

Why are you here then

[arctic grove]

It will happen

[last swift]

Is this BF2042 naval warfare?

[arctic grove]

Nahhh it'll be the same shit

Also, there are continously new people in this world that goes into gaming

🤓 " don't judge the game cause it's just the beta"

[mental delta]

Accept it or not but Pingu is a king and nobody can do anything about it

💯

[mental delta]

He's a triple OG and should be part of 2042, just sayin...

[arctic grove]

Nah he's too OP for it

[mental delta]

Yes sorry, he sould be like the ranger chillin over the map and getting pet by all players

[mental delta]

I also liked the penguin family on breakaway in case you wondered
