[arctic grove]

so is none gonna question why my profile is mark ruffalo?

[arctic grove]

Nope

[rotund grail]

dead game is dead

[arctic grove]

agreed

[night vessel]

ehh anything below 5k player base is a dead game

[arctic grove]

rn it has like 1k or 2k

[rotund grail]

Dead to me without 128 player Breakthrough. I was really enjoying it until the removed it.

[river sequoia]

Source?

[arctic grove]

pre dead also y es i was enjoying

[night vessel]

there's like 70% of the players saying they hated it

[uncut bay]

dead is a very subjective term, but even then the game is hardly dead

[rotund grail]

Source?

[arctic grove]

cough bots cough

[night vessel]

don't need facts mate

[rotund grail]

At least give us players the option to play it

[arctic grove]

cough sea is dead cough oce is somewhat alive

[uncut bay]

don't need facts lmfao

[night vessel]

WoW is dead

[arctic grove]

raw source?

[uncut bay]

the state of the battlefield community

[arctic grove]

world war 3 is better :))

[night vessel]

fortnite is dead, CoD is dead, GTA is dead, Hold Fast is dead, etc

[arctic grove]

how so lmao?

yay bf2042 has abit more players 2,573 In-Game | 1,392 in Group Chat | Follow | View Stats

[uncut bay]

ww3 has the potential to be better but it's really lacking as of right now

[rotund grail]

Breakthrough - some of the 64 player maps are better, but I still miss the chaos of 128 player maps.

[arctic grove]

you fr? the new updates are bussin and im enjoying it so far

2042 free to play when tho

[uncut bay]

a handful of players, little content, bland maps, poor vehicle gameplay and poor gunplay yeah

[arctic grove]

cough alpha

[next onyx]

Exodus conquest has really improved my enjoyment of the game.

[night vessel]

I'm just saying top 5 games are currently living it

[uncut bay]

it's fun for a game or two, if you can find the players

[arctic grove]

oh i find players instant

[river sequoia]

Same here

[arctic grove]

i think they use eu servers?

[rotund grail]

What is that?

[uncut bay]

cq with portal and base maps

[next onyx]

Conquest 64 with portal maps.

[river sequoia]

Maybe they will add more of the old maps?

[rotund grail]

maybe I'll give it a try after work tonight

[night vessel]

heyyy yoooo BF1 hype ?

[arctic grove]

bf1 is more fun than 2042 tbh

[night vessel]

but it ain't modern

[next onyx]

I don't think they'll had battle of the bulge and al alamein to exodus conquest.

They're not exactly the best maps for it.

[cunning breach]

bf1 is the nost boring battlefiekd

[arctic grove]

who cares about that xD its just more fun

[night vessel]

"hears modern shooter players crying"

[arctic grove]

oh no so you like 2042 running simulator

[cunning breach]

x10 more fun than bf1

[night vessel]

true it is a fun game to play

[uncut bay]

i was wondering about that, glad to hear they aren't in the rotation

[river sequoia]

But would it be "much work" to make remakes of other classical maps? Maybe even some from BF1 and BFV

[arctic grove]

how is 2042 more fun than bf1 wtf

[next onyx]

Who knows Nero.

[uncut bay]

yes, it probably would be given how much dice have struggled with frostbite thus far

[next onyx]

Better gunplay for the most part.

[cunning breach]

reddit moment
bf1 good = redditor

[night vessel]

why you make my man BF4 cry man

like shit feels bad for BF4 players

[arctic grove]

bruh bf4 is better than 2042

why are they taking 2042 over bf4 😭

[hardy leaf]

i imagine a day when a new battlefield game releases which is complete and polished on launch day with rich content and everyone is having fun playing it.

[uncut bay]

probably because bf4 is almost a decade old and half its maps are locked behind dlc which nobody plays

[arctic grove]

hah no you aint getting that

[hardy leaf]

i know

[river sequoia]

One can dream

[hardy leaf]

Maybe someday

[dire lark]

They really should’ve made those DLCs free. It’s been years

[night vessel]

I mean if you look at it BF5 had a very shitty launch

[arctic grove]

they did make some free

[dire lark]

They should’ve made it all free tbh or just sold the deluxe with everything unlocked

[arctic grove]

true

[night vessel]

but dude imagine if they remastered Battlefield 2

[hardy leaf]

the only game ive played recently at launch and had a blast playing it is elden ring, despite its minor performance issues, the game is a gem

[uncut bay]

dude imagine if they made a completely original battlefield game with a campaign, map-wide destruction, minimal bugs, and regular content drops

[dire lark]

Impossible challenge

[uncut bay]

fuck remasters and remakes, give me a proper game that doesn't rely on reminding the community of the "good old days" to get their attention

[night vessel]

The only game I ever enjoy is arma

[arctic grove]

W

[hardy leaf]

my fps prime days are kind of over now since i got married and had a kid, i feel old now and my reflexes too lmao

so i now play on console, it suits old age more lol

[night vessel]

heyy you now living the dream

[dire lark]

That era has passed. It’s now the era of pumping out incomplete games at launch and finishing it over the course of the update cycle

[night vessel]

I'm 21 years old and I'm still trya work and shit

[river sequoia]

If that was his dream

[hardy leaf]

im 27 but yeah

[night vessel]

perfect age man

to be having kids

[river sequoia]

How come I end up in menu after a game and not loading the next game straight away?

[bright wharf]

Because All Out Warfare doesn't have persistent servers.

It has a queue system

[river sequoia]

Hmm.. Just tired of ending up in losing end of match games

[bright wharf]

I'm also tired of playing Breakthrough and spawning either 5 minutes away from the point or right in front of an enemy.

🗿

[next onyx]

This game has horrid spawn logic.

[arctic grove]

Probably cause everyones been playing it so much to the point that's its gotten boring cuz they've been doing the same thing for a long time and EA stopped updating the game

ye

At this point we've probably just come to accept the fact 2042 doesn't get any better than this

We just wanna play a new game

[soft swallow]

Like every Battlefield

I never played a Battlefield that actually has good spawnpoints

[next onyx]

This logic is even worse.

That's the thing Mat.

I've had bad spawns but this game has even worse.

And that's saying something.

[soft swallow]

Yes very much times I literally spawned in front of a tank or any veichle

[lapis oar]

Y'all are a glass half empty type of people, for the most part

[soft swallow]

Well I think that here the spawn it's pretty bugged

Battlefield 2042 has a randomic spawnpoint system so this it's pretty strange

[next onyx]

I think all the slots were taken.

And so that was all the game could do.

Can't say I'm complaining though.

[soft swallow]

Hehe this is so stupid

We hope that one day they will decide to improve the spawnpoints

[arctic grove]

When you spawn 100 METERS from the original objective...

[dire lark]

Is bf4 still active, esp in the SEA Region?

Not sure if I should reinstall it

[brisk hill]

game is going in the right direction

[arctic grove]

W

Hope it never happens again tho

[visual horizon]

i'm the "it's half a glass of water"

[arctic grove]

When are dice and EA gonna fix the failed to load persistence data bug

[sharp marten]

Hey is the battle pass active as of right now?

[lucid goblet]

no,it goes live with Season 1

[slow terrace]

does this problem still exist?

[sharp marten]

Alright thank you because I thought I got some kind of cosmetic from it lastnight and it said something about me leveling up on the battle pass

[lucid goblet]

that's just mislabelled, it's part of the EA play rewards 🙂

https://twitter.com/T0TALfps/status/1532343386065215489?s=20&t=tzI0RLAoE3A7BIV8Nsokww

Kevin Johnson (@T0TALfps)

A brand new EA Play reward is now live within the game, "Dustproof" - Epic Rarity Headgear for Rao.

All EA Play subscribers that log in from June 1st to June 29th, can unlock this cosmetic!

[sharp marten]

Ah alright thank you

[tacit sphinx]

i want it but i dont have ea play and its not really worth it for me

[arctic grove]

On Xbox one it does

Every time I shut off both the game and the Xbox and come back to it the morning it still happens

[pine roost]

I'll just play bf4 and get the headgear for free 😎

[sharp marten]

Hey carpo are they getting rid of 128 player lobbies?

[iron blade]

Bro why is that rao headgear ea play exclusive

Damn it looks so good

[velvet sand]

Because EA wants you to spend more money on services for cosmetics.

[iron blade]

Well they can kiss my broke ass

[loud flower]

Why does it feel like there is more hackers per game than in Tarkov or Warzone
Because it's getting prolific right now

[velvet sand]

They are a for-profit corporation with a fiduciary responsibility to deliver value to their shareholders at the end of the day.

[iron blade]

Is there a weekly rotation or nah

[loud flower]

Nah

[iron blade]

Oof

[lucid goblet]

128p will still be available for CQ and portal experiences, just not breakthrough

[quiet shell]

Damn its gotten to the point even Battlefield friends new video addresses how long its taken for the game to get better

AND ITS GONNA TAKE EVEN LONGER STILL

[loud flower]

I spam the Su-57 in the vehicle tab
I keep spamming for 3-4 mn
Eventually gets free
Vehicle tab disappear then reappears
Allied attack aircraft has spawned
Not an Su-57
Not me piloting
Vehicle cooldown : 2mn

Fantastic

[velvet sand]

That was a good BF Friends episode, heh.

[loud flower]

Even better, cooldown ends, says the attack aircraft is "in play"
There is currently an attack aircraft slot available but I cannot use it because the vehicle that I supposedly got granted is in play

DICE ffs fix the damn game

[arctic grove]

Are there any new progressional skins other than blue, tier one and camos?

[radiant prism]

It’s almost like EA is a company trying to make money or something

[mental delta]

A 2 seats jet would be cool

[loud flower]

But companies are supposed to have some basic form of ethics where they gotta release a product with a minimum quality threshold to reach because it's kind of bullshit right now

[mental delta]

Maps are large and pilot as to go everywhere through the map to find enemies, a copilot with light gunnery could be useful

[radiant prism]

And that means they can’t release a little cosmetic piece every so often why, exactly?

[mental delta]

No they do that shit for free

[loud flower]

Cosmetics aren't making a buggy game better

[radiant prism]

The people who work on cosmetics aren’t the same people working on stability and mechanics. They can work on both simultaneously.

Also…guess we’re just gonna ignore the vast consensus that the game is much more stable after the patches of the last few months, unless you wanna bitch about that too

[loud flower]

My point exactly, maybe it's time to hire competent people to fix the damn game, because as long as it'll be barely playable, no one will care about the cosmetics

[mental delta]

[velvet sand]

I mean it's playable and way better than it was. But it's still fairly buggy for a game that's just about to receive its first new content 8 months post launch.

[radiant prism]

“Barely playable”

Are we playing the same game?? I have almost no problems with the game whatsoever

I need to leave this chat before I start getting pissed

[onyx mica]

bring back 128 bt

[velvet sand]

MY DUDE (but it's never gonna happen and we will get no compensation)

[twin pewter]

tfw coming back to 2042 since launch only to find 128 bt is gone

[loud flower]

Oh it's been stabilized sure
But it's still barely playable
Missile warnings (for lock on ammo) that appears only after the missile has been launched is on the top of the list of stupid ass issues that can't be that hard to fix

[onyx mica]

don't be sad

[slow terrace]

[uncut bay]

the game is far from "barely" playable, don't be ridiculous

[radiant prism]

stabilized
still barely playable

You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

[onyx mica]

sadge

[last swift]

...Rao Dustproof Headgear and no camouflage as face painting...

[mental delta]

Compensation is season 1

[velvet sand]

homeboy is clearly frustrated, frustration leads to hyperbole when venting

[velvet sand]

what a time to be alive!

[arctic grove]

That ad was so cringe

[onyx mica]

make battlefield great again

[pine roost]

One thing I don't get, if there is a vehicle ready, if I die why can't I just take it?

[night vessel]

New battlefield friends ep came out

[mental delta]

Yes I guess MW2 trailer will also still the show to season 1 if they decide to release it the same week

[pine roost]

It's been like that in past games, why have they gone and changed it

[night vessel]

I feel sorry for the patch guy

[mental delta]

What ad was that ?

[mental delta]

Build that wall !

[onyx mica]

haha lol

[velvet sand]

But Renewal already has a wall.

[onyx mica]

true that

[arctic grove]

Remove Ea

[onyx mica]

lmao no no

[mental delta]

He needs to be taller

Or only to be destructible

[arctic grove]

Wdym they let battlefield suffer

[onyx mica]

uh a bit

[mental delta]

Why can't we place some dynamite at a certain point of the wall to make it go boom, like you can activate some shit on Discarded

[onyx mica]

release the kraken yea

[velvet sand]

Because that's baked into the map on Discarded. Pre-made event (like the rocket blowing up), not something dynamic or anything. They could conceivably add something like that to Renewal with the rework for S2, but probably won't.

[mental delta]

No that's sure they wont, that could have been cool however

[arctic grove]

I forgot and don't wanna remember it

[mental delta]

Looks traumatic so

[mental delta]

Ok I just saw what that was and I also forgot

[analog fractal]

Season 1 info

[velvet sand]

next week, prob

[mental delta]

Ask Carpo he knows everything

[silk surge]

Just watched the new BFF episode, best one so far 😂 I love these guys.

[arctic grove]

what do they meann early june ?

[velvet sand]

It means "early june"

[silk surge]

DICE are very liberal with the word early.

[arctic grove]

every time i hear something like ((ealry (time))) i get scared

cause ik there is big delay or lie are hiding behind the word ((early)) 💀

[stone cradle]

Don't forget the skins guy

[silk surge]

They released the 'early april' update almost late april.

[onyx mica]

[stone cradle]

Early June = end of June or July lmao

[arctic grove]

why dont they release the game ((early)) ?💀

[silk surge]

They did. Which is why we are in this mess.

[arctic grove]

no i mean on another hand which mean they say early and they release update or games late

[silk surge]

I guess the goblins at EA didn't wanna miss the holiday sale bracket.

[arctic grove]

why do i explain this joke that was very awkward and cringe anyway lol

[onyx mica]

So kind

[arctic grove]

i mean they actually live in activision

[arctic grove]

but in term of ea history and pretty much money eating yeah i agree

[stone cradle]

Lmao Neebs: "Bring some cookies"

[grizzled whale]

why not post the link to the youtube video

[silk surge]

The mods would be mad at me.

[arctic grove]

FINALLY

[grizzled whale]

why

[arctic grove]

No more stuttering on xbox

[silk surge]

Exodus?

[loud flower]

S1 has yet to come out lmao

[velvet sand]

...what?

[bleak tide]

There’s a fucking portal experience called I kid you not ‘most realistic (Ukraine vs Russia) war and it has 45/64 players

[stone cradle]

the people who got rejected to be drafted into the conflict are playing that

Idk how they would do Ukraine though, can you make custom factions in portal?

[arctic grove]

All modes

[arctic grove]

Also this is accurate

[bleak tide]

It’s bf3

So us vs Russia

[arctic grove]

Yes

[arctic grove]

LMAO i was playing it last night

[stone cradle]

Oh, so it's just 2042 with classes

[arctic grove]

its actually fun

[bleak tide]

How is it any different to normal Conquest

[velvet sand]

Yo I'm looking back through that Feb post in the BF forums taht announced the "road to S1" and like...whatever happened to this stuff?

"For team play, you can expect us to incorporate a clearer, tighter squad loop, a refined ping system, and an improved reward loop for when you and your squad play the objective."

Did I miss updates on those areas, or did they just not happen over the past 5 months?

[arctic grove]

That was 4.0 patch

apparently.

[velvet sand]

I don't remember anything about squad loops or the ping system, though I guess maybe rewards count since they tweaked XP gains for some activities

[arctic grove]

They added voip. maybe it was referring to that.

honestly all that marketing language really makes it vague but i assume more will be implemented in S1.

[silk surge]

The Ukraine war really opened my eyes to how many 'woah this is just like my video game' incels there are in this community.

[velvet sand]

naw, referenced separately from VOIP in that post. I guess it's just more things DICE said they were going to do but just ended up forgetting about or deciding, "nah" on.

[velvet sand]

Without attempting to derail to the war too much...hearing some of the trash talk apparently happening over the radio was also interesting because holy shit a lot of it has sounded like the lobby for any sweaty FPS with tryhards : |

Like, tell me that was from a lan cafe of folks playing BF against each other, shouting across the room, and I'd have believed it.

[silk surge]

That's fine to point out. What really bothers me are the cringelords that posts clips titled 'look at this dogfight kill lolol this is just like ghost of kiev'

[velvet sand]

omega cringe shit, but not unexpected on the internetz

[bleak tide]

Pretty shit stuff if you ask me

[uncut bay]

it's bound to happen in a war game community with a significant fraction being made up of children and teenagers, but yeah it's still quite horrible to see

[silk surge]

I had a guy with a pfp of a 12 year old tell me in extremely broken English that he started in BF2.

[bleak tide]

Haha

There’s also a shit ton of afgan milsims

[fair pilot]

How do I make battlefield 2042 full screen? It's windowed right now

[silk surge]

Hell, I'm 26 years old, I started late in BC2. Even I'm too young to have played BF2.

[bleak tide]

I started halfway through bf3’s life cycle

[fair pilot]

Literally anyone? Its in full screen mode

[bleak tide]

As much as I hate my dad, he’s the one that got me into battlefield

I used to watch him play it

[bleak tide]

The game is literally like 4 years older than that kid

[pseudo grail]

I heard season 1 is coming out next week

[still vault]

Don't listen to the voices

listen to #game-news

[river trench]

Cap the earliest date was leaked to be 16th

[fallen yarrow]

You can try pressing Alt + Enter

[river trench]

But i think its gonna be more late than that

[onyx mica]

Alt enter

[arctic grove]

I think the game could use more details

[chilly jacinth]

thats extremely vague

[jovial quest]

Detail is a hard thing for modern day DICE

[fair pilot]

May someone please help? Whenever I tab out of battlefield 2042 and back in it becomes windowed. I don't know how to fix this as it's already set as Fullscreen inside. What do I do?

[fallen yarrow]

press Alt + Enter

[arctic grove]

LMAOa fucking cringefest.

[arctic grove]

Reminds me of cod lobbies

[glossy storm]

New BFF dropped.

[molten knot]

When the battle pass dropping

[arctic grove]

after S1 drops

[thick tusk]

So the old maps being in the 64p conquest rotation is limited time I would imagine?

Sadly these maps are better than the new ones and once they rotate out with the limited player base it will likely be hard to find a full server running conquest on these older maps.

[velvet sand]

For now, yes. Though it could be "limited time" in the same way the 64p variants were "limited time" to begin with...before they became permanent : P

[fair pilot]

Can someone who knows computers please dm me?

[brittle forge]

Oh right we’re technically in early summer

Waiting for the announcement of an actual date should be fun

[velvet sand]

prob next week

[lofty nymph]

When is the new BF coming again? Oct 2023?

[unborn herald]

somewhere there

4 seasons = 2 years of dev support

then a new battlefield comes

[lofty nymph]

One season is only 3 months tho

[bleak tide]

Wouldn’t it be 8 seasons then?

[velvet sand]

No, 4 seasons = 1 year, each season is 3 months.

[still vault]

a season is 3 months, so 4 seasons is a year

[bleak tide]

Not seen it

[whole plume]

It's not a trailer well it is and at the end of it it says "June 8 worldwide reveal"

[still vault]

That would be #other-games

[whole plume]

My b

Thoughts on new season coming to 2042 then

[still vault]

Looking forward to playing it. Will judge it once I get to play it.

[lofty nymph]

?

[whole plume]

The teaser trailer is not the official one

It's pretty cool looking tho

[lofty nymph]

Ill check

[still vault]

#other-games for talk about other games

[whole plume]

Ight

[forest knoll]

New playlist is dope much more fun than normal

[arctic grove]

same

[lofty nymph]

Did they fix the netcode and server performance issues in the season 1 update?

[forest knoll]

Lol

Nope

[lofty nymph]

Oh, thats a bummer

[arctic grove]

they could, we dunno till we get the full update notes

[mental delta]

There's no update dude

[lofty nymph]

💀

[mental delta]

"Early June" they said

[soft swallow]

While they're doing cringe videos with Cod streamers it says a lot about the foot he wants to take the game

And I want to stay away from it

[mental delta]

They are hyping absolutely everybody while the game will turn into delicious shit 3 months after release

[mental delta]

Lol I'm pretty sure it's a MW2019 remake, same mechanics, same content and same cosmetics store

[midnight karma]

what is the fastest way to level up cause its hard

[mental delta]

Throw ammo and heal equipment, revive and kill

[soft swallow]

The multiplayer will be the same as MW2019 and I don't want to spend 60 euros for 5 hours of campaign

[soft swallow]

True

[midnight karma]

ok thanks

[mental delta]

Lol I was so disappointed with campaign because it was good firstly, but it only lasts 5 hours

[mental delta]

No problems

[arctic grove]

mw campaign was pretty short but it reminded me of older CoDs a bit

[lofty nymph]

Atleast 3 months and not after 2 weeks 💀

Alot of cool games arriving this year

[mental delta]

Yes except the last mission was pretty shit while all other cod had good last missions

[soft swallow]

I thought it was different from Battlefield, which is a game that also focused a lot on the campaign, and therefore I expected 15-20 hours of gameplay, instead it was only 5 and I was very disappointed by that

[mental delta]

Yes anyway it will end up like MW2019, good at first with good weapons and true camos and skins to attract true players, and then they'll bring up all the weird cosmetics to attract kids and weirdos

[soft swallow]

Attack On Titan cosmetics what the fuck?

[mental delta]

15 hours would have been cool but they would never do that unfortunately, but 10 hours would be a good compromise

[lofty nymph]

I heard new Nfs will be anime inspired and shit, gaming is doomed 💀

[wide violet]

new BFFS mad funny

[mental delta]

Lol yes anime cosmetics and weird cat hears

[mental delta]

Need for speed anime inspired ? Ho fuck

[soft swallow]

Meh I think I'm going to buy the old ArmA at this point

[lofty nymph]

Im just chilling in R6 with the boys

New COD might be the move tho

[arctic grove]

an anime nfs would actually do really well not gonna lie

[mental delta]

Need for speed ?

[arctic grove]

ye

[soft swallow]

I will have to be honest that that game has never attracted me, bought and played for a very short time only to be uninstalled

[soft swallow]

Gas gas gas, I'm gonna step on the gas

[lofty nymph]

CS is superior but boring after I played it for so long competitively. R6 more on the more casual side

[brittle forge]

NFS Carbon was basically that so why not go all out

[soft swallow]

I don't like CS too, I think it's the overly tactical-arcade genre that I don't like in general

[brittle forge]

I played R6 for like 60 hours it was ok but after I stopped the game seems to just have gotten worse and worse

[arctic grove]

what is nfs???

[brittle forge]

Need for Speed

[arctic grove]

need 4 speed

[bleak tide]

My brother was in the top 1% for hours played in r6 on ps4

[arctic grove]

bro that game is fun

[bleak tide]

Kinda nuts

[lofty nymph]

Every NFS after MW 2005 was either mid or trash

And thats factual

[brittle forge]

Hot Pursuit 2010 was great actually

I haven’t really played since then though, The Run turned me off

[wide shore]

I played tf out of carbon

That was the last one tho

[mental delta]

Lmao exactly the same

I used to play it a bit because all my friends were addicted to that shit but I never figured out why

Promising at launch and it ended up into another specialist cosmetic shit

[mental delta]

You know the existence of Most Wanted right ? Best NFS game ever

[silk surge]

Has there ever been a CoD campaign with more than 10ish hours to fully complete?

[silk surge]

Tbh, the netcode has been fine for me since 4.0. But it's one of these things that highly depends based on who you ask.

Hell, 2042's netcode is better than BFV's current netcode for me at least.

[wise zodiac]

Sacrilegious.

[silk surge]

Is it though? It's not like BFV is hailed as a masterpiece by the community. At least not until recently.

[arctic grove]

for me bf4 and 1 is a masterpiece

[wise zodiac]

I just like being controversial.

I think V is good, honestly. Gunplay & movement is fantastic.

[arctic grove]

V is really good but the controversies with "dont like it? dont buy it."; Had litte content at launch; elites and skins. live sevice; etc... ruined it for me but i still play and enjoy the game.

[lament plank]

what the utter fuck is the point of a wildcat when stingers do more damage to air vehicles than its AA?

here i am, seeing a condor hover over me, light it up with cannons, hit it with both aa, and then more canons and it still gets to fly away. yall know a vehicle based AA missile would have more payload than a shoulder fired right?

[surreal crystal]

Boris getting a glow up ??

[mental delta]

Yes hopefully

[arctic grove]

[dawn thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/love-gif-24777608

[soft swallow]

Surpriseee

[bleak tide]

Will battlefield 4 be the next portal game mode?

[velvet sand]

They haven't said anything about adding other BF's to portal, I think. No teases about S1 additions to Portal either from what I know, we'll find out more whenever they announce stuff.

[soft swallow]

I don't think

[river trench]

This game is so damn dead

[arctic grove]

queueing up just fine

matter of a fact you made me wanna go play some exodus conquest rn

[naive sedge]

servers down or something?

[twin pewter]

[arctic grove]

Dude why tf can helicopters repair themselves from <10 health

With visibly flames and everything without the fre extinguisher

That doesn't make sense

[radiant prism]

I mean, you can shoot someone in the head with a 7.62 round and they’ll walk it off, BF has never really been realistic lmao

[radiant flint]

anyone up for some coop

[arctic grove]

That's understandable because that would be too op for certain guns but at the same time something like smoldering helicopters somehow putting out fires just by using it's rotors is something different

It wasnt like that in bf4

[radiant prism]

Mechanically it’s pretty much identical to BF4….

[thick shadow]

Vehicles in bf4 are impossible to destroy sometimes cause of how good players are lmao

But I'm going with the conclusion that I'm still a noob in the game cause of the learn curve it has

[vivid nacelle]

Ai one shot me with Gvt 45 hundred meters far, gg

[fiery zenith]

this game won't even let some people connect

[olive lake]

Under better circumstances I'd say yes

But I just cant enjoy solo/coop as is.

[vivid nacelle]

fk breakthrough as it is. Defense is impossible to win

[arctic grove]

It’s a lot more common to win with 64 tbh

[hexed mango]

gvt can one-shot, it is a good gun.

[hexed mango]

by that probability it should be more common to lose, making it the same

[arctic grove]

Oh my bad, I meant to say to win as a defender

[hexed mango]

ah

on that front i might still disagree, purely cause the vehicle ratio from atk to def is still wonky as fudgesticks

[runic prism]

I swear this game is so garbage . I join a match and it ends

[hexed mango]

L + bad server + bad region + bozo

[runic prism]

The game or me ?

[analog fractal]

Joining a game that's about to end is very common

[hexed mango]

you /j

[analog fractal]

It's shite design

[hexed mango]

i mean all battlefield games have the probability of joining when a game ends, that is kinda how rotational servers work.

[analog fractal]

Especially when lobbies aren't consistent

[runic prism]

Well im from eu L ECHO

[hexed mango]

Well EU sucks L LOCKDOWNTURKEY

[runic prism]

Nah nah in this bf2042 everyday same bullshit

[analog fractal]

Yes, but the problem is that lobbies are disbanded after a game ends

[hexed mango]

i mean over here in the states that are united, i get servers no problem

[analog fractal]

In old BF games you are kept in the same lobby

[hexed mango]

that's how they worked in official matchmaking in bf4.

[analog fractal]

Which is bad

[hexed mango]

only for custom games

[analog fractal]

No point in having players join games that end in 20 sec if they get disbanded

[hexed mango]

i mean would you rather play with the same obnoxious group of people 24/7 or get new people each game.

[analog fractal]

They could leave?

[arctic grove]

Its up to the player if they want to leave the server or not

[analog fractal]

Bozo argument

[hexed mango]

so, its just a probability, not 100% of matches are gonna have exactly 20 seconds left
in my experience, Ive only joined matches a few times that are about to end, in comparison at least to the games ive joined very early
just keep playing, and thats it

[arctic grove]

Although honestly the game could use a server browser for regions that aren’t retaining players well

Do portal xp farms even work still

[hexed mango]

there is a server browser

[arctic grove]

Well, for AOW I mean

[hexed mango]

Portal is the browser for AoW
lel

I mean in other games, it was only the custom games that got the full browser, aka games that were hosted by non-ea people
the ea games were only quickplay

that is still the case here, portal games are the ones not (entirely) hosted by ea, and aow is the official, aka quickplay

[arctic grove]

I see what ya mean

[analog fractal]

No

[hexed mango]

also, from what my friends in the middle east tell me, there is really only 1 server at a time, as the lower player counts
so it wouldnt really have much an impact if there is only a handful, or 1, option to choose from
and tbh the more populated server regions still dont have a lot, i mean i can find the same people just a few times after matchmaking

[arctic grove]

True

[hexed mango]

although, even though i did lay down opposition, I do agree with your let them choose option
cause before v2 i believe there was only a quit button, which got replaced with the continue button in EOR, and i think if they added back the quit, and made that go to the lobby, and kept continue as to auto matchmake again, in the EOR screen, like Overwatch does

[analog fractal]

If there is only one game at a time, disbanding after ever game makes even less as sense

Ffs

[hexed mango]

i mean that was an exaggeration.

[analog fractal]

Echology, are you an EA employee?

[hexed mango]

and also, wouldnt it not even matter
if there was only a few servers, and the game auto matically makes you matchmake after a game (once hitting continue) then it would basically be the same...

[hexed mango]

why, cause you believe that nobody actually has their own opinions.

news flash: I do actually have opinions of my own
unlike 99% of reddit

[analog fractal]

Having bad, nonsensical opinions that defend shite decisions in BF2042 is inline with what EA employees does , yes

[bleak tide]

You’re so damn braindead…

[hexed mango]

https://tenor.com/8cF3.gif

stay mad

[analog fractal]

When player population is low, disbanding after every game is dumb af

[bleak tide]

What have I missed

[analog fractal]

You say this, but you're the one starting this argument

[hexed mango]

i mean technically this started as a joking reply to someone with: "L + bad server + bad region + bozo" and i even said it was a joke with
"you /j" in my response to lockdown, which you replied to referencing its "shite design"

heheheha

[hexed mango]

the internet being the internet

[analog stirrup]

BF2042 is fucking amazing!

[bleak tide]

Yea just reading it

[analog fractal]

I mean, it is shite design, it's not a slight towards you

[bleak tide]

Ok caught up

I’m not

I can easily find servers

[austere fog]

join squad 3 if you trying to squad up

[arctic grove]

Some people here go as far as to say that games like cod mw2 and other well recieved cod games were actually terrible and disliked by the cod community as if 2042 is any different

There's actually proof that less effort was put into this game than older battlefield game, for example the Russian teams voicelines in battlefield portal aren't actually in Russian compared to og bf3's voicelines

[runic prism]

Well im 100% sure that eu has more players lol

[hexed mango]

it doesnt lol

[runic prism]

Maybe like 1000 players ur region ?

[runic prism]

He’s a dice fan ssssh . He’s gonna defend the game till his death . Even if the game has problems he had always something to say to everything

[hexed mango]

uh no

[runic prism]

Well at the moment it has 2000 players on steam lol

[analog fractal]

I'm a DICE fan too

[hexed mango]

@edgy oriole

[runic prism]

But he is a bf2042 fan 🤡

[analog fractal]

Doesn't mean I have to defend bad decisions

You won't see me defending specialists and shit

[hexed mango]

"steam charts"
mhm yes very reliable seeing they are only 1 of 6 (8 if you differentiate between current and last gen) platforms

[arctic grove]

That's a little far fetched, that percentage of reddit only has the same opinion since they're all people who bought the game when it was first released, and saw how most of what existed in previous battlefield titles (that also made franchise distinct in a good way) was absent or replaced with something worse in 2042

[runic prism]

I don’t believe that this game has more like 4000 players mate

[hexed mango]

dude that was a fucking joke

@arctic grove dad pick me up the haters are touching me

[runic prism]

Game is so death i keep finding the same matches and maps . Maybe not in the morning but at night it’s death as hell. On bf v the server browser there are so manyyt servers full 64/64 . That game is the only game that is really alive in the franchise the rest is dying unfortunately

[arctic grove]

I know but that's actually an assumption by a lot of 2042's diehard fans

[midnight karma]

does the zombie gammode still give weapon kills

[hexed mango]

thats why its a joke, cause other people were saying that, and i like quoting that cause its also annoying

[hexed mango]

it should, but check the images sent in #direct-communication for the given rewards for progress in portal

[mental delta]

Lol what you say is dumb, even if you play in a lobby all players won't stay for 6 hours long, some players leave everytime a match is over and other one join, so the group isn't the same all the time

[hexed mango]

that one guy on twitch: allow me to introduce myself

[arctic grove]

Popcorn material

[hexed mango]

can you cook me some

[arctic grove]

Yeah

[hexed mango]

lets go

[mental delta]

Weird, go back to 2042

[edgy oriole]

[hexed mango]

wanna play

[edgy oriole]

Im making some pizza rolls. i will after i eat.

[hexed mango]

k

enjoy

[arctic grove]

So when does the next Friday night bf start

[hexed mango]

the next one is <t:1654304400:R>

[runic prism]

To be fair the portal maps are so much better . I only want to play those maps . Dice just needs to bring all the old maps back

[arctic grove]

No

[hexed mango]

they did. its in exodus conquest

[runic prism]

Jup i think 3 or 2 maps ?

[hexed mango]

also if you only want those just fudging play portal lmao

[runic prism]

Nah i want to play all out warfare with these maps

[hexed mango]

you can play aow modes in portal. (besides bt, but those maps are not built for bt so it doesnt really matter)

[runic prism]

Xp is not the same i think

[hexed mango]

cause you're bad

[runic prism]

Tf are u talking 😂

[hexed mango]

if you dont change anything else, it should be normal, read #direct-communication

[runic prism]

Weird bot

[runic prism]

Ok boomer thanks

[hexed mango]

damn you're so cool you called me a boomer!

[runic prism]

Ur cooler because u replied to my message

[arctic grove]

im cooler because i said i am

[edgy oriole]

he the coolest

[arctic grove]

Oh my boomer jokes

[echo yew]

147 days of life remaining for BF2042

[arctic grove]

Good because the current one was more boring than the specialist involved

[pine roost]

Isn’t the current one boris only?

[arctic grove]

Yes

His gadget is ass

Weren't you supposed to control it at some point too

[arctic grove]

Source me

[echo yew]

MWII out october 28 thats 147 days off

[arctic grove]

Probably the countdown to mw2

[echo yew]

same applies to vanguard and halo infinite

[arctic grove]

No one asked though

[echo yew]

you did though

[arctic grove]

Not

[echo yew]

lol

[arctic grove]

[echo yew]

lmao

fr though i hate to be so negative against a game i was so hyped for last year but everyone knows what happened

and im sorry, 1 map fix per season really isn't enough

[pine roost]

I was hoping to be playing 2042 for potentially years straight, ended up lasting a week

[runic prism]

For real lmao

[echo yew]

i was hoping to be like "okay lmao i don't care" when IW revealed MWII because i'd be busy on BF2042 season 4-5 but here we are

[runic prism]

Not halo lol . Halo is a different fanbase i think but i get itt . Everygame has 147 days left

[echo yew]

you're right Halo fans gonna return to MCC and even Guardians

oh wait we already did :p

[pine roost]

What, just because of MWII?

[runic prism]

I actually was hoping for the change from the specialists but they aren’t done yet . They’re gonna release it on season 2 bet . That was actually what people wanted

[bleak tide]

I think mwII won’t be as good as everyone is hyping it up to be

[echo yew]

MP wont but DMZ will

[runic prism]

It will be the best cod in years lol

[pine roost]

You actually believe that will be the case after this year?

[bleak tide]

That’s what everyone says almost every year before a new cod comes out

[echo yew]

i hope it's good but after 2042 and Halo i REALLY don't want to get hyped

but IW is IW and MW19 was my jam even though i think half of their design choices were garbage

[echo yew]

certainly not vanguard

[bleak tide]

People still said it

[echo yew]

i remember how no one wanted Vanguard to exist

[bleak tide]

Tho like you said 99% of people hate vanturd

[echo yew]

vanguard is a clusterfuck lmao

[naive sedge]

Is anyone actually able to play a game of conquest on xbox at the moment?

is it just me, or is this shit still broken

[bleak tide]

Gen 5 or 4

[naive sedge]

xbone

[bleak tide]

If 4 it’s been fine not sure about 5

[bleak tide]

Should be fine

[runic prism]

Well don’t forget that it is a modern warfare title . Modern warfare games were always really good and is the only title that is holding cod alive . It has a brand new engine and is build up from ground and a og developer from treyarch said that it is the best cod that they have ever made

[pine roost]

The vanguard beta was the first cod game I’d played, and it was the most depressing experience

[echo yew]

imagine if Cold War was good

[bleak tide]

Can’t trust 1 og dev

[echo yew]

i hope Treyarch doesn't fuck BO2024 up but i kinda expect them to do a BF2042 page by page kek

[bleak tide]

Zombies was decent and campaign was good multiplayer…

[pine roost]

‘Trust me bro’

[runic prism]

They aren’t all gonna post a tweet like hey guys this is the best cod that we have ever made

[edgy oriole]

@hexed mango ive had my super processed sustenance and am ready for combat.

[echo yew]

multiplayer was boring, warzone was basically murdered by the CW integration

[bleak tide]

I know but you can’t trust 1 guy

[runic prism]

Campaign was sick , zombies was fun. Multiplayer was a cheap copy from mw19

[echo yew]

altough tbh BR's are boring as fuck

[bleak tide]

Repeating what I’m saying

[hexed mango]

aye aye

[hexed mango]

death stare

[runic prism]

Jup but ye the new warzone 2 game will have a new engine and is also build from ground up so i will play it for sure

But warzone 2 will come out maybe a couple months after mw22

[pine roost]

An engine built from the ground up doesn’t sound all that enticing, from what we know that’s essentially what happened with 2042 and look what happened

[echo yew]

i'll try WZ2 day one but i don't think it will be THAT goodd

[runic prism]

Well that was a big big mistake lol. U should’ve played the mw19

[echo yew]

if MWII is just MW19 but less grey, one extra bullet to kill and with DLC map design im in 100% lol

[pine roost]

Cod as a whole just doesn’t appeal to me, only reason I’m interested in the next game is simply because it’s something new. Doubt I’ll play it though

[runic prism]

Only modern warfare series is holding cod popular. Otherwise it ends like coldwar and vanguard forgettable titles

[echo yew]

wasn't cold war huge

[shell reef]

Kinda

[echo yew]

just slightly less than MW19 but it's like number 2

[shell reef]

Its blackops devs

[runic prism]

• it’s a reboot from the modern warfare series . We have ghost back and the other og members from taskforce 141

Ghost is the 🐐

[runic prism]

Wym by that?

[echo yew]

it sold REALLY well

[pine roost]

Doesn’t mean much to me since I don’t know who any of them are :|

[naive portal]

I come here and wonder how this game has been going on?

[runic prism]

Aiii . Just play mw2 remastered. I only played mw2 remastered and mw3 a bit a couple years ago

[arctic grove]

Tf is bo2024? Is Activision and EA copying off each other?

[naive portal]

Fuck no

We don't need bullshit specialists in these game series

No one asked for them, literally no one

[runic prism]

U don’t understood the message. They’re gonna release a cod in 2024 and it’s a new black ops game

[pine roost]

If I’m desperate I might watch a video on them, but I’m not buying them just for the campaign 😬

[runic prism]

They are not releasing a cod in 2023

[naive portal]

Yeah cause they fucked up Cold War

[arctic grove]

oh

I thought that was the literal title

[runic prism]

Coldwas was a fake black ops game. It felt rather like a cheap copy from mw19

[naive portal]

Exactly that's what I was talking about

[runic prism]

Campaign is a masterpiece it’s one of the best campaigns that I’ve played in any games . Most cod games has a really nice campaign.

U just should play all the modern warfare campaigns

[echo yew]

treyarch's next game in 2024

[naive portal]

Modern Warfare > Black ops series

[echo yew]

probably a black ops entry rumoured to be similar in plot to 2042

[pine roost]

I personally don’t enjoy any campaigns, I’ve had bf4 since 2015 and not once played a single one of its missions

Unless the campaigns have unique levels and skilful gameplay to keep it interesting

[naive portal]

I mean they could have kept going with Ghosts campaign

Ghosts is better than Cold War and Vanguard combined

Community hated it because they blindly followed an trend

[pine roost]

What was it they did?

[naive portal]

Game was destroyed by community

[pine roost]

?

[naive portal]

Ghosts was destroyed by the COD community.

[pine roost]

How though

Did they like suggest something that most other players didn’t like that changed it?

I recall a similar thing happening in bf1

[naive portal]

Big maps, blurry ADS outside scope ranges and many campers they had in Ghosts.

[pine roost]

Although I wasn’t there at the game’s launch to compare it. That exact thing happened

[naive portal]

Years later, you got Vanguard which is 50x worse

[placid echo]

As much as I enjoy this discussion, I'd prefer if this moved to either #general or #other-games

Please and thank you

[pine roost]

From what chaps in another discord told me, the strafe speed in bf1 was pretty fast at launch, but the community outcry had them change it to a much slower speed

Competitively, it ruined the game. As well as some adjustments to sliding

[runic prism]

Every cod always sells well because of the hype. Only the last cod . Where no one asked to go back to world war mode. It sold well, but it did not meet the expectations said activision. so they were disappointed about it

Coldwar sold good but it sucked like ass actually

[pine roost]

Strafe speed in2042 is really slow from when I was testing stuff out today

[runic prism]

Yeah some leaks were saying that it was going to be a bit like bf2042 that movement. Since the bf2042 movement is like cod lol . But its a old leak from a couple months ago. Leaks are not true mostly. It only builds a unnecessary hype

[pine roost]

Except that one from Tom that outlined the specialist system months before the game came out

That should have been the first red flag for me, but I didn’t see it at first

[runic prism]

I remember that he was saying that bf2042 would have a massive destruction but that leak from him was not true😬

[arctic grove]

💯

[forest snow]

I would take a lower playercount for lots more destruction. 64player still feels just right 128 doesnt work.

[sullen violet]

I think it's one of those things that sound great on paper but don't really work that well. Tbh i'd say they did a pretty good job tho considering 128p

[forest snow]

yea maybe with set classes it might flow a bit better

[arctic grove]

Tom is full of shit anyway

[forest snow]

but 64p still is good for battlefield more players isnt always good

[analog stirrup]

Hopefully, DICE implements NFT's in the summer update.

[sullen violet]

I think 128p gives a bit less close quarters etc... In most cases, considering map size and where activity is happening

[tranquil turtle]

played the boris only mode. other team got smoked and the game ended 26v4

can there at least be balancing mid game

[thick tusk]

Am I the only one on ps5 that when "connecting to online services" it fails a few time and other times I need to restart the game a fee time to get it to connect?

I'm LAN connected and have no other issues with online games or anything

[arctic grove]

i think the game might be having server issues today

[upbeat sand]

Hopefully the k30 will get nerfed in season 1

[serene pawn]

Is the EA Play reward not out for Playstation yet? I played this week and didn't get anything.

[shy nymph]

I love bf2042

[mental delta]

You lie

[coral veldt]

I'm on a series s and everytime I log in it takes forever and my queue is broken taking 2 and a half minutes to tell me I disconnect from ea and a hard reset didn't solve it

[mental delta]

Your game is fucked dude

[coral veldt]

Obviously

[mental delta]

Wait for a season 1 fix

[shy nymph]

no I like it

[coral veldt]

Bruh where's the launch fix

[shy nymph]

I'm level 20 I'm new

I turned my ar into an smg

[mental delta]

[mental delta]

What ?

[mental delta]

Season 1 launches in early June

[coral veldt]

I know i was making a joke that there should e been a fix for the launch of the game this game isn't ready for season one still having server issues can't even play it

[white geyser]

[iron thistle]

Super hype for the 1 map and reworked guns theyre releasing

BrUtal ExpEcTatIoNs

which ironically everyone from all the shitty viral ea tweets is now gone

[white geyser]

June is already here, the announcement better arrive fast

[iron thistle]

Its disgusting what we as fans are expected to be ok with lol bf4 literally had 3 , 4 map dlcs each with plenty of weapons 5 months post release ....

now were expected to be hype for 1 map a handful of reworked guns and some skins theyll surely try to sell you via a season pass

[boreal glade]

Just help me I can't launch my bf2042 it just shows some origin and closes right away just help

[upbeat sand]

Steam?

If steam, origin games will show that it closes right away but just wait a few secs and I'll reopen

[white geyser]

I hate this road maps they made, yeah I get it they need more time to think about content they gonna add in BF 2042 and more time fix the game too.

[compact dew]

Love the username Not Vito Scarletta, fucking love the Mafia games

[upbeat sand]

Finally someone who gets it

[compact dew]

Lmao

[boreal glade]

Yes

[upbeat sand]

Click play and wait

[boreal glade]

I tried from both steam and desktop shortcut

[compact dew]

That’s the problem, launch it off origin

[boreal glade]

For how long

[upbeat sand]

Open origin with admin

[boreal glade]

I don't have the origin shortcut

[compact dew]

Search it up in the search bar

[upbeat sand]

You have to download origin then

[boreal glade]

Again?

[compact dew]

It should already be downloaded

[boreal glade]

I think I can find it in my files

[compact dew]

That’s odd

[iron thistle]

Ya theyre acting like adding already made assests to previous maps is a huge deal that requires the most experienced devs to produce... The whole video they put out laying out the road map for the game is a big eff you to the community. 1 map per season is pure garbage when 2042s gold edition costs the same as bf4s premium and as i said had came out with 3 , 4 map dlcs 5 months post release

[upbeat sand]

When downloading origin on steam you get the small minimal version but installing from your browser from the site is the full edition

[boreal glade]

I'll try to find it in my files if not I'll wait if not I'll reinstall origin

[compact dew]

Aight

[boreal glade]

Thanks

[compact dew]

Ah ok

[iron thistle]

Dice and battlefield just cant seem to handle live service whether its bf5 or bf2042

when it comes to premium dlc games we recieved nearly 100% more content

[boreal glade]

Is 2042 better then 5?

[shy nymph]

shortened barrel compact ammo

[compact dew]

5 is better

[upbeat sand]

No and yes depending but V is overall better

[shy nymph]

no

[serene pawn]

Did anyone else get the EA Play reward for this month?

[upbeat sand]

V is better

[boreal glade]

Aight

[shy nymph]

they’re both different

[upbeat sand]

Unless you want a lot of weapon customisation

Then play 4

[iron thistle]

Lol if you look at the attention to detail videos via youtube bf5 defintiely wins that round but its all opinion i suppose

[tranquil turtle]

5 has better gunplay, destruction, maps, and flow

[compact dew]

True that

[serene pawn]

Live service has nothing to do with this. Premium would just be a label change from Year 1 Pass

[compact dew]

True

[iron thistle]

Nah bf1 had 10 more maps than bf5 due to profit incentive

you put out good dlcs people buy them

[serene pawn]

No, it was due to planning and competence

[compact dew]

Yeah and then the battlefront 2 thing happened so they calmed it down for 5

[white geyser]

A week ago, I sent a feedback on their website to discuss about the season 1 update, the content we may or may not get, and the possibility if they can make season 4, if the previous season update didn't work out as they expected. I even said about they forgot to add switch team option in BF 2042 on their feedback and a month ago before they add voice chat, I made a list what was missing in BF 2042 and the contents I was hoping they can add in the game.

[iron thistle]

Ofc it was but bf5 was concluded 1/20th of the way through its promised ww2 timeline bc they couldnt rake in enough money via microtransasctions

[chilly jacinth]

cool story bro

[upbeat sand]

V Eastern Europe would of been really good

[iron thistle]

Exactly

[compact dew]

Yeah true, and Normandy including carentan

[serene pawn]

Premium wouldn't have changed anything for 2042. The game would still be bugged, maps would still need to be reworked and they would probably be hit with a big lawsuit for not releasing planned maps.

And it would also divide the playerbase even more than it already is

[upbeat sand]

Ea's terms of service says something like "we do not guarantee a playable game for some of our titles" so lawsuit ain't gonna do anything

[tranquil turtle]

no one would buy the dlcs

[serene pawn]

^ this

[white geyser]

The only DLC I would buy is the vehicles, that needs to be worth it

[iron thistle]

Because the game was originally released and had plans on making money via microtransactions and skins rather than actual content people want like maps and weapons

[serene pawn]

DLC maps for mp games just doesn't work anymore. Restricting your player base between those who do have the maps and those who don't is just bad design nowadays

[tranquil turtle]

if they released dlcs the angry redditoids would shit their diapers

[upbeat sand]

What if they did content like 4 and 1 dlcs but for free

[compact dew]

I ended up making historical accurate loadouts in bf5 and wrote them down in case I wanted to use the skins

[serene pawn]

So.... live service done right?

[upbeat sand]

Make joe

[tranquil turtle]

but you can't make money off that

[upbeat sand]

Yes basically

[iron thistle]

at this point absolutely and theres no questioning that the industry has moved towards seasons rather than dlcs its just a matter of whether or not that was good for battlefield and the last 2 games with "free dlc" rather than profit driven content were failures

[compact dew]

L MAO

[upbeat sand]

You heard me

[compact dew]

We all love Joe

[coral veldt]

I'm playing bfv rn it miles better

It has more than 2 game modes

[serene pawn]

Live service is definitely the way forward for BF, DICE just doesn't seem to understand how live service should be done

[upbeat sand]

Not my country it's just
Conquest
Conquest
Conquest

[white geyser]

I wouldn't mind if they add another AA tank known as the M-Shorad, IDK if they finish developing that vehicle.

[compact dew]

Same here

[iron thistle]

Im just saying literally every past example ever of premium dlc vs live service when it came to content ended in premium having 10x more content for bf.

[serene pawn]

You are comparing premium with a bad example of live service

[iron thistle]

when your profit incentive is based upon what your consumers want via maps and weapons vs cosmetics you tend to make more money.....

[serene pawn]

You have to compare premium with what COD, Fortnite, etc are doing

[compact dew]

LMAO SO TRUE

[iron thistle]

As i said I get industry standard is live service whether or not this has been a good thing for the bf games is definitely questionable considering 2042 gold costs the same as bf4 premium

[compact dew]

The audio cut out so I didnt hear “angel does it again” 😔

[serene pawn]

It is a good thing, there is no question about that. But not under the current DICE/EA management.

[compact dew]

EA always overprices their games though

[iron thistle]

Theres plenty of question of whether or not live service has been good for bf considering every live service game they released had less content than the premium

[compact dew]

Even after almost 10 years

[mental delta]

You can't play that bro

[compact dew]

Even GTA is usually cheaper on steam now

[mental delta]

Lol me too

[serene pawn]

2042 was not planned, Premium or Live Service wouldn't change a single thing. BF4 was planned, BF1 was planned.

[compact dew]

True

[iron thistle]

So was bf5 and 2042... both did horrendously with live service

theres 0 example of premium not doing well with battlefield games

they simply switched due to industry standard

[serene pawn]

I'm done trying to argue with you. lol

[arctic grove]

What do you gain by arguing at all?

[iron thistle]

Every past game they put out via live service has less content than their premium successors and thats just factual

[mental delta]

Where is Joe ?

[compact dew]

Joe is from a video game

[upbeat sand]

Joe

[serene pawn]

Don't blame live service for that.

[mental delta]

Yes Joe

[arctic grove]

I just watch the speculation and “game bad” and I wanna see how DICE handles it with S1 and such

[upbeat sand]

You shoot like my sister

[mental delta]

Yes he is

[white geyser]

DICE, you gonna learn how to make a comeback for BF 2042, like properly comeback. They made battlefront 2 a comeback except it was the loot box situation they got themselves into trouble, but unlike battlefront 2 situation 2042 is gonna need more than 2 years to be supported by the developers, there's so much things to add in this game and a lot fixing too.

[iron thistle]

Live service was plenty to blame considering they werent contractually obligated to release a set amount of content via your purchase. With bf4 premium you knew you were buying 5 , 4 plus map dlcs however 2042s gold edition just gave you a vague descripition of the seasons ahead of time which we now know are only going to include 1 map

[shy nymph]

i love it

[mental delta]

Not me, m5 already looks shit with normal ammo but with SMG round it's worse

[white geyser]

I'll be in both 2042 and BF4 maps, camping by myself with the AA tank, grilling BBQ until the update is announced

[shy nymph]

it’s really good

[arctic grove]

Use high power ammo and long barrel on the m5

[shy nymph]

trust me bro

[mental delta]

I prefer DM4

[mental delta]

How can I trust you, you play smg on AR

[compact dew]

You drive like my fucking grandma

[upbeat sand]

I told you this ain't no fucking tank

[mental delta]

"Marty shut up"

[upbeat sand]

So Your gonna blow up the building sky high

[quiet shell]

Apparently we'll get a season 1 reveal on Monday

[mental delta]

Proceeds to answer to Marty expectations by blowing up the building

[iron thistle]

Man id be so excited if they announced a 4 map dlc like a normal game

[upbeat sand]

I would hate if the trailer was just a montage of gameplay with over exaggerated music

[mental delta]

Lol how do you know ?

[arctic grove]

Who said Monday?

[quiet shell]

Tom henderson

[upbeat sand]

You didn't play it did you

[mental delta]

[iron thistle]

crab people , taste like crab , look like people 🎵

[arctic grove]

Say what was toms big news about S1? Was it the same battlefield post that came out like a couple or so hours after the tweet?

[mental delta]

I played the three games, they don't actually blow up the building in that mission of Mafia 2 and their attempt to kill the guy is a mess

[quiet shell]

1 map, 1 specialist, game fixes and improvements, 4 new guns

[upbeat sand]

Good

[mental delta]

Fucking shit ! You actually saw that episode ?

[compact dew]

Did they teach you that in the army?!

[iron thistle]

Disgusting

[arctic grove]

4?

[quiet shell]

And 2 new vehicles

[iron thistle]

Every episode lol

[upbeat sand]

Who is the best caracter through the 3 games

[mental delta]

Then they found out the young boy has been killed in the parking and kill the mafia mob after car accident

[quiet shell]

Animation improvements and specialist tone overhaul wont be until either july or august

[upbeat sand]

Yeah they killed Marty

[compact dew]

My favourites are Tommy and Vito

[iron thistle]

They really needed to pull thru with this dlc to bring people back and for 1 map and 4 guns to come out is a blatant slap in the face

[mental delta]

Idk, Vito is incredible but Clay is trying to be a good guy

[upbeat sand]

Jhon donothan tho

[quiet shell]

Season 2 is slated for September but expect an october release

[mental delta]

Me too, all episodes of all seasons lol, the crabmen thing had me dying first time I've seen it

[iron thistle]

Its honestly hard for me to understand how those 2 people sat infront of a camera laid out the bf2042 timeline and acted like nothing was wrong in comparison to past games

[wanton magnet]

Do you have a link by any chance?

[quiet shell]

Not atm

[arctic grove]

They know but can’t outright say it

[wanton magnet]

Ok thanks anyways 👍

[quiet shell]

My prediction on this shitshow is DICE is still actively figuring out how to work with the frostbite engine since most of them are new, plus they've basically had to rebuild the game from the ground up

[mental delta]

4 guns ? There's no way

[iron thistle]

Right likely barebones content and acting like everythings ok till they can move on and sell us the next one

[desert elbow]

It’s possible but not all the devs are new, there are tons of old ones too

[iron thistle]

Even if that were the case that doesnt make 1 map per season excusable its horrible lol. Im a huge bf fan and trying to have fun or even make content in this enviornment is terrible

[white geyser]

4 guns? you kidding me 4 guns?

[iron thistle]

With reworked portal weapons sprinkled in

[quiet shell]

Portal maps are also being added to AOW for breakthrough and Conquest

[desert elbow]

Eh we’ll see, it might be a really good map

[mental delta]

That's probably fake, they were talking about 6-8 guns per season after release, we waited 6 months that's better not for 4 guns lol

[quiet shell]

Still no word on a SERVER BROWSER

[desert elbow]

There’s already one

[iron thistle]

Man what .... im used to 4 map dlcs evey 2 months not 1 map every 6 months?

[quiet shell]

Not for AOW

[mental delta]

On portal we know

[desert elbow]

What battlefield game had 4 maps every 2 months?

[mental delta]

7 months

[iron thistle]

bf4 had 3 , 4 map dlcs at this point in release

[mental delta]

Every 3 months and well almost all since BF3

[quiet shell]

The original season 1 plan was 2 new maps, 1 new specialist, 8 new guns, 3 new vehicles, and more cosmetics

[desert elbow]

Where’d you get this from?

[iron thistle]

Which in the end still released 10 more maps than bf5

[quiet shell]

Tom Henderson

[mental delta]

4 maps per DLC, one DLC every 3 months and 5 DLC at end of development +3 free maps and some free weapons too

Huh no ?

[desert elbow]

Since it had a longer lifespan

[iron thistle]

That was the industry standard people should be accustom to

not 1 map every 6 months this is beyond excusable

[mental delta]

Yes that was the good time

[quiet shell]

The new map is basically going to be a massive forest map. Unknown if all the trees will be destructable or not

[arctic grove]

But people justify it by saying ItS fReE

[mental delta]

1 map for 6 months of waiting is really a shame

[iron thistle]

As i said when theres a profit incentive behind content people actually want like maps weapons and vehicles theyll tend to do alot better on microtransactions in comparison to skins and models .... but live service is industry standard so here we are with less content and more skins enjoy

[arctic grove]

Stop being brutal. Its free content

[mental delta]

Yes saying premium pass used to split the playerbase, tbh I've never seen a game splitting the playerbase more than 2042 lol

[arctic grove]

Lmao i joke.

[iron thistle]

Exactly lmfao they literally got rid of breakthrough 128 inorder to funnel people into breakthrough 64 bc people were waiting hours to connect to a server rather than adding a server browser in which people can play on a 90 ping server in exchange for not having to wait an hour to connect to a server with a decent ping

[hardy leaf]

DICE needs to learn the importance of first impression

[quiet shell]

A server browser for AOW is simply beyond DICE's capabilities

[iron thistle]

BruTal ExPeCtaTiOns

[quiet shell]

Im sure at the end of the road, 2042 will eventually be a good game

But its just such a fucking slog

[hardy leaf]

they introduced empty soul less maps, now rework might make them better but still it wont leave the sour taste and wont be enough to increase the player base

[arctic grove]

As long as portal still exists I'm happy

[hardy leaf]

but it will be too late for that

[mental delta]

Yes at this point they are just crazy because that's just essential to get server browser

[iron thistle]

With 1 map per season and 5 seasons legally determined im almost positive this will go down as the bf with the least amount of content in history

[hardy leaf]

they absolutely butchered the franchise with 2042

[quiet shell]

DICE is gonna need a master plan of marketting and attention grabbing if they want people to buy the next battlefield in 2024

[bitter skiff]

I hit some good close quarters play last night... I was surprised. Must be part of the map changes.

[iron thistle]

Id bet money itll be bad company 3 so that they can once again nostaliga grab us like they did with the 2042 rendezook trailer

[arctic grove]

Idk man they did recover from battlefield hardline, I think they can pull off another Hail Mary with the next game

[bitter skiff]

was cool, but then I went back and played 4

[iron thistle]

Hard line was free on xb1 3 months after release

[arctic grove]

Yeah they did us dirty with that trailer cuz the actual game wasn't like that

[quiet shell]

Theres an unconfirmed leak that DICE's creative team is closely watching the Ukraine war for the next battlefield game in terms of setting, mechanics, gameplay, and tone

[iron thistle]

Politics wont allow them to do that... you release a pro ukraine game all of russia wont buy it etc.. hence why they havent had china as a faction in a bf game in quite sometime

[mental delta]

They lost all their good sense and don't listen to the community at all, it takes them 7 months to bring new content, I think they aren't recovering from that shit, 2042 could be the last BF we've seen if EA decides to just leave the franchise behind

[plucky pebble]

[quiet shell]

Well thats the thing, EA in a closed meeting said they wouldnt mind Battlefield taking China as an antagonist again since anti-gaming laws in China have basically butchered the gaming market in China

[iron thistle]

Well they havent been in a bf game since 2013 so well see how that goes

[mental delta]

I hadn't seen a thing that fake this week

[iron thistle]

Its funny bc 2042 doesnt even have anything to do with 2142 either

the final bf4 dlc teased 2142s titans being built in hangars and here we are without a titan gamemode 20 years into the lores future

[plucky pebble]

its sad cuz theres an container in op outbreak that says something like opens till 2142 😦

[iron thistle]

Titan was a kick ass gamemode was like carrier assault on steroids and somehow this game doesnt have it

Or how about how the intro screen is on a carrier and we have yet to see a boat in anything but portal?

[willow sky]

wait does repairing count as damage inflicted with gadgets?

[arctic grove]

Their development was halted after most world governments collapsed or went unstable in the events of 2042, then several decades later the progress had to be started all over again because they lost them to the Breakaway snowstorm

[iron thistle]

EA looking for a buyout is definitely something

[arctic grove]

I hope there’s a map where US and RU take off from carriers and onboard MAVs to fight over an island

With two fallback points so nobody has to do DDay every time a team gets pushed

[iron thistle]

Nah you gotta spawn mid air in this game bc realism

[mental delta]

I would love to see that but expectations are too high, there's no way we see such that lvl of inspiration from them

[arctic grove]

Yeh, it’ll be 4 ordinary maps with a different levolution or weather event, which I’m cool with. That type of thing would probably be a specific game mode

I’m getting my inspiration from BFVs pacific maps on breakthrough, driving the LVT up to the beachheads and then coming under a ton of enemy fire is dope

[worn whale]

good ol' days

[arctic grove]

The clips we aspire for with a compatible map in 2042, DICE

[worn whale]

the movement was good now its just slide jumping

[arctic grove]

That’s why I wish for 2042s movement to be revamped similar to V, honestly

Although I’ve seen some bunnies on that game too. Just keep us more weighted down to the ground is all I ask

[forest snow]

slide needs to go

[iron thistle]

Why does the map look more detailed than 2042s lmfao

Everything in 2042 looks like a minimalistic apple store

[arctic grove]

[fiery zenith]

movement diff

[iron thistle]

As a battlefield fan it really pains me.... All they had to do was build on past games but no they tried to change directions and give us some hero shooter with a battleroyale gamemode noone asked for

All in the name of industry standard and $....

[arctic grove]

I hear ya

[plucky pebble]

we live in dark times now

[arctic grove]

You made me want to reinstall 4 now

Finna get back into locker and metro again

[iron thistle]

Then you have the morons who say its all nostalgia then when you go back to play bf4 or 3 its just as you remembered

[worn whale]

they just lost their identity, everyone was trying to be battlefield back then and now battlefield is trying to be apex legends + Cod MW

[plucky pebble]

i still play it, its still pure gold

[iron thistle]

Exactly the issue for sure

[arctic grove]

I’ve even thought that before. Really wonder why they didn’t expand on V, which you can tell expanded upon 1

That in a modern theme would’ve been exactly as we all thought this was gonna be before it came out

And we see how chasing a bag got them

It’s like they don’t know we play battlefield for battlefield. Not for anything else

[plucky pebble]

i mean it feels like they never played a bf lmao

[arctic grove]

I get the business model of if it works for them surely we can get it to work for us. But ghost recon frontline and now 2042 should really be telling developers what they should and should not be doing

[iron thistle]

Right they tried firestorm with bf5 (which i actually enjoyed alot) it failed miserably they failed to learn from their mistake and created hazardzone a gamemode in which was included in the main trailer for this game

Its pretty straightforward what bf fans want and it isnt battleroyale and skin microtransactions

[red notch]

Hazard zone is more fun than people give it credit for

The only problem is that they make you wait too long to load into a match, then one person out of 16 leaves and the timer restarts

[grizzled whale]

And vehicles are just op in hazard zone

[red notch]

I paid $50 for a game I’m not paying more for shit

[grizzled whale]

Get a jeep and you win 9/10 times

[red notch]

Eh, you can one shot the recon truck with a good rocket

[iron thistle]

I have fun in hazard zone as well but when you think about the amount of effort that couldve been put into aow or other gamemodes that went into the failure hazard zone is its kinda sad

They just didnt learn from their initial mistake which was firestorm

[arctic grove]

It’s great if you can get people to pay for mtx to support you and your product, not so much if they’re doing it just to get decent skins so their immersion isn’t totally skewered because both teams look the exact same for the most part

[red notch]

I enjoy hazard zone I just would’ve rather had a campaign

A single player one

[iron thistle]

that too

Or even the development of the useless tornados

[arctic grove]

A campaign like the war stories centered around the events prior to 2042 would’ve been super interesting it’s more so just lore you read about but it would’ve been more successful than none I’d suppose

[red notch]

Tornados are extremely fun, the only problem. They rarely happen

So much wasted potential if they’d only made the chances 1/3 games not 1/10

[upbeat sand]

i think making the specialists the main caracters in that type of campaign would of made a very nice backstory

[arctic grove]

But I’m thinking of that concept off the basis 2042 was designed with 1 and V in mind to base itself off of which we know 2042 took an entirely different route towards

[iron thistle]

ya theres nothing more that i like then to have all 32 defensive players on breakthrough whisked off a sight by a tornado they had no control over

[arctic grove]

Hell maybe people would find more reason to relate to the specialists as well

[red notch]

I still like it because it forces people to reposition and campers gotta move

[upbeat sand]

yeah really good way to introduce them

[iron thistle]

Imo the best way to go about specialists wouldve been to do it bf1 trench raider kit style or bf4s .50 cal pick ups

[arctic grove]

That’s true but in execution losing an objective to funny tornado and then subsequently being steamrolled because your team maybe had a solid defense is bad

[iron thistle]

lemme pick up a grappling hook not spawn with it

[forest snow]

was there any confirmed info about when we will be shown what's coming with season 1 ? i want to say tuesday

[red notch]

The only thing I like about specialists is that I get revived most every time I get downed in large scale combat, adding onto the teamwork factor

Because medics can have any gun they choose

The problem is that it’s hard to balance all of them at once

And the immersion just dies in a hole

[iron thistle]

Specialists just arent battlefield and thats all there is to it... the franchise isnt meant to be a heroshooter

[forest snow]

main issue is the freedom of gadgets breaks battlefields rock paper scissors formula
