battlefield-2042

[silk surge]

I tried shotgun underbarrel, but man does it feel weak at times. Didn't feel like it was worth the ADS delay.

[ebon pilot]

I hip fire it mostly

At longer ranges use cover effectively to compensate for ads delay

[silk surge]

Well yeah, but having a heavy underbarrel makes ADS a lot higher in general.

Yeah thats a good point.

Fuck it, I'm going to try that setup next time I boot up the game. Longbarrel+shotgun underbarrel.

[hidden sand]

It is impossible to unlock shit on the tanks in MP, they are so unbelievably weak

Really a shame that they're so improperly balanced and implemented

[fair pilot]

If bf2042 is stuttering very, very badly (especially when I'm in a vehicle), is that my pc, game, or internet?

[waxen turret]

game

[upbeat sand]

i think the masterkey ads makes it more wider

[fair pilot]

when you say game do you mean its a bug or can I do something about it?

[waxen turret]

idk man, i've a ryzen 9 and 3070 and i have the same problems sometimes, the game is poorly optimized thats a fact but if you can do something about it idk man

[tame cobalt]

Rather than f2p, 2042 should just go on ea play, gamepass and ps+ extra

[waxen turret]

but try exodus conquest, it's 64 players maybe its better

[tame cobalt]

That's a fair middle ground for maximising playerbase without pissing off ppl who paid full price

4 days till season 1 drops

[fair pilot]

Alright then.

I don't exactly want to put all my graphics to low so yeah. Idk what to even do

[tame cobalt]

3 trailers dropping Tuesday

[loud flower]

By mid range, how far do you mean

[dusky blade]

Mid range in 2042 is 100 metres

[loud flower]

I never use the short barrel because don't need the extra fire rate, I need recoil control
and before I get any "jUsT pUsH tHe jOyStIcK dOwN", if it was that easy everyone would be much better at gaming
I've been spending the past few days grinding attachments against AI (because I just can't be arsed to just be in pain in MP all the time when grinding shit)
And I even unlocked the challenge locked scope for the M5 and the AK
The M5 is comically bad at doing 150m kills, thank gosh we can grind that stuff against AIs
Also please for the love of everything sacred in the world of gaming, buff the noobtube, if I don't hit within a 20cm radius of a target's feet, I'm doing 95 dmg which is just perfect when you're trying to grind the challenge locked incendiary UBGL as well (who's the buffoon genius who gave the incendiary UBGL to the M5 but not to the AK
And why is the UBGL series available to LMGs, DMRs and Snipers of all things

[loud flower]

Stutter is usually your PC
Unless you have the network issue related icons appearing
If you don't have those then it's your PC

[tame cobalt]

[loud flower]

Bro, a 3070 with an R9 ? Damn, that's an underpowered setup right there
Not blaming you because of the short supply and high prices but damn I can't lie, the combination kinda makes me cringe

I reinstalled BF42 for PS4 (cuz I wanted to play some HZ with a PS4 friend) holy shit did I forgot it didn't have any haptic feedback
Firing a gun feels lifeless
Also the recoil is so fucking whacky (9r the PS4 and PS5 version are just that disconnected from each other)
Far is the time we were playing on consoles with binary vibrators, it goes brrr or it doesn't...

Me, playing Ratchet and Clank in 2007 : *my ship gets hit* haha controller goes brrr
Me, playing the PS4 version of BF42 on PS5 : *crashes my helo* bro game feels dead now

[fair pilot]

I have a lot of those icons at the moment

A common one I'm getting is like this box with a lot of other boxes behind it

[tame cobalt]

Yeah they did a good job with the haptic feedback. Kinda wish they added adaptive triggers as well tho

[loud flower]

Alright then it's your network
I mean, the game's netcode is bad but even I can play the game properly atm
So either it's your network provider that just can't deliver you good internet access, either something in your setup slows your speed down

Friendly reminder to everyone : A network link will be as fast as it's slowest component (yes, cables have to be rated for decent speeds as well for a smooth connection)

You can have wifi 6/AX on your phone or your laptop, if the router you're hooked on has wifi 5/AC, you'll get wifi 5 speeds

[shy latch]

for stuttering issues to me helps a lot deleting all cache files before launching the game, especially with the previous updates, but still now every time I quit (or before start) I check if I deleted all the cache

[loud flower]

That as well though it IS a less common issue, most often overlooked
Doesn't happen often but having it on the things to check when troubleshooting is good too

[silk surge]

Rofl

[shy latch]

yeah of course is something small because the main issue is the pc optimization, DICE is aware about it and on the last development update they said will try to optimize better with future updates, for now we just do what we can

[loud flower]

So you somehow landed on a Bolte's cockpit then once you acquired it, you somehow steamrolled some dude when going out of the smoke

Gamer moment right there lmao

[shy latch]

it's called Battlefield moment, that's why I always liked this game

*franchise

[analog fractal]

SEASON 1 INFO WHEN

[loud flower]

I call that a gamer moment because it's just so stupid to "own" thus kinda stuff and link it to one franchise when me and my friends who have so much hours on CoD have got so many clips of that kind of stuff

Like, I'm just airdropping from my friend's helo to help another friend on the ground, I down the attacker while being mid air with an RPG saving my dude and then when I slow down my fall with my chute, I get shredded by an enemy's helo who was passing by

It was just as neat and comical as your clip but we don't call that a CoD moment

[silk surge]

The landing was planned. You can see me scouting the Bolte from the roof before jumping down.

[loud flower]

Well, point still stands

[waxen turret]

i even play with everything on low xD

i can play bf5 with high fps and everything on high

[waxen turret]

season 1 launch on 9th

https://tryhardguides.com/battlefield-2042-season-1-set-to-launch-june-9th/

[loud flower]

Damn

[river trench]

So the trailer is after 2 days

[loud flower]

?

Trailer for S1 ? in two days you mean ?

[river trench]

Ye

And after it 2 days we have s1

Better be having content more than expected

[waxen turret]

Trailer is on the 7th probably

[pine roost]

I thought it'd be on the 9th

with a potential teaser maybe a day or two before

[waxen turret]

launch is on the 9th

[waxen turret]

.

[loud flower]

Damn right

And fixes as well

[tiny imp]

How to turn off sound message from "point earned as defender" in Nemesis?

[pine roost]

well i guess it could come on the 9th if they show off the season in more detail during the show

[waxen turret]

Im gonna try season 1 but im not really hyped for it

i don't want another disappointment

[pine roost]

I just hope it's got some decent changes

[analog fractal]

Same @waxen turret

I do hope they actually deliver when it comes to adding more weapons

[waxen turret]

yeah, more weapon choice makes it alot better

[analog fractal]

Would be great if they added like a dozen or so portal guns, but at this point I wouldn't be surprised if they just added like 4

probably only assault rifles that are older versions of the guns we do have lol

[waxen turret]

lol imagine

[analog fractal]

"Spas 12, m60, gol magnum, asval, pp-2000...? Nah let's add the M416"

[loud flower]

Maybe the ASM Val ? Not the AS one, really the ASM upgraded one

[next isle]

!avatar @waxen turret

[tender pendant]

Avatar of FalconsEyex#0015:

[next isle]

Bot?

Nice

[loud flower]

wdym

[loud flower]

Is this surprise ? I'm confused why you're asking after sending the command

[analog fractal]

I want BF2042 to succeed, I love BF

But DICE/EA just loves to fumble the bag for no apparent reason

[next isle]

It was just being a bit slow

[waxen turret]

Nice avatar right? XD

[loud flower]

I want 42 to succeed so I can fully enjoy it
I started CoD with BO4 which really is just the worse game of the licence so I really don't want to have a bad start with BF as well
42 isn't bad but holy damn could it have had a better start than this

[loud flower]

Ah ok
On my end it appeared right after you sent the command so I didn't get it

Probs just discord being discord

[river trench]

Seeing angel makes my day

[upbeat sand]

me when k30 is nerfed

[slow terrace]

me too

[river zinc]

Lol

Is it that bad?

[tame cobalt]

I hope 2 new maps

[pine roost]

yeah that would be nice

[tiny imp]

More than 1 maps are to brutal expectations. One new map is confirmed to season 1

[hidden sand]

Remember the "In the name of the tsar" dlc where we got 2 factions, multiple weapons, new vehicle, and 6 maps?

And that was just one DLC

[tiny imp]

Yes, but is another team devs right now on BF 2042. Not the same behind BF1

[hidden sand]

Not really my point, it's just unfortunate

[calm bison]

We uh got like 1 tank and one plane, and it’s the most despised plane in the game

And the weapons were decently difficult to unlock

To this day I still don’t own the Parabellum

And also ITNOTT has some of worst maps (Galicia, Volga River, Tsaritsyn)

[upbeat sand]

either they where only able to mine more maps or its only 1 map

[calm bison]

Technically Temporyal was able to datamine 4

[upbeat sand]

he is pretty legit like tom

[hidden sand]

I mean that doesn't really diminish my point though?

You can dislike the DLC but I mean all of that content was present, and there was a good amount of it

[upbeat sand]

good thing they for rid of emblems

no more shitty emo edgy shits putting nazos or Z on their thing

or literal hent

[loud flower]

I hate his head
Makes me want to bash his mug in with a grenade
The only reason I play him is to never run out of ammo when I'm on the grind

[river trench]

No dude he seems a nice guy

[tame cobalt]

tru

[loud flower]

Goddamn you have no idea
The K30 is overwhelming, OPAF in the wrong hands
I've seen sweats thinking this is CoD jumping sliding dropshotting, going full sweat mode with that thing because it's that broken

[loud flower]

I'd rather deal with Mackay's bad jokes than Angel
What kinda stripper name is Angel

[chilly jacinth]

i mean they did change the shooting and movement to be more cod like

[unborn herald]

not exactly like cod

it feels clunky

[loud flower]

Yeah but holy cow, was this one guy I fought sweaty asf
Like, the kind of sweaty only the most extreme hardcore shipment lobby gets

[chilly jacinth]

well ye i didnt say exactly like cod

[unborn herald]

it honestly feels like a cod rip off

takedown animations feels like it was made by a 9 years old

[loud flower]

Well no, made 9 years ago, yeah, by a 9y/o, no

[upbeat sand]

THAT WAS SOMETHING RIGHT

[loud flower]

Oooooh I'm ready, heck, I've climbed Mt. Everest, it's been downhill from there.

[glossy storm]

S1 trailer is coming out tomorrow, apparently.

And S1 will release on Wednesday.

[unborn herald]

no

Trailers will release on 7th and season 1 will launch on 9th

[glossy storm]

Ah.

Curious to see the hullabaloo.

[waxen turret]

i hate all the specialist

they doesnt look like they are militairy

[noble scaffold]

L

how so?

[waxen turret]

idk, looks weird imo

[unborn herald]

just wait for the season 1 cosmetics to come in

might be different

[waxen turret]

meh idk xD

[noble scaffold]

i think they do look like they’re in the military, they’re all physically fit and are kitted out

[loud flower]

I don't

[noble scaffold]

see no problem with it, of course they can look a bit more worn

[loud flower]

Good thing that they aren't
(the NoPats are independent)

[waxen turret]

yeah, thats sad 😭

embed failure laugh at this user

[waxen turret]

lol

[loud flower]

Personally the sad part is that it's yet another USvRU trope
China disappeared, the EU seemingly doesn't exist, what is Australia, South America or Africa ?

And of course, us, the Non Patriated, decided to join a nation's side
There is literally no plausible reason as of why we would join the US or RU's fight since literally everything is in their interest and not the NoPats'

[patent path]

Hey guys remember the world-renowned BF killer, World War 3?

[upbeat sand]

Game is still in beta

Not finished so when that time comes around I think I'll be god like

[patent path]

[worthy inlet]

Sounds like star Citizen

[chilly jacinth]

ww3 aint that great

[patent path]

Will be good soon

It's a mess

[loud flower]

As I've said here before, 42 is the BO4 of BF, campaign scrapped, bad buggy launch, inexistant updates at first, etc...

[loud flower]

No it isn't lmao

[patent path]

"early access"

[loud flower]

Can you guarantee that ?

[patent path]

Soon TM

No honestly ww3 will never be good

[upbeat sand]

Wack

Slap a soon on there and wait a month

[loud flower]

We're talking WW3 here, as what point is this good

[patent path]

Never

[unborn herald]

ww3 has bad servers for asia

[loud flower]

no I was talking about actual WW3

[uncut bay]

they have a good foundation with lots of potential, but who knows if it'll live up to the expectations

also fuck their launcher and account requirements

[patent path]

they use a shitty launcher to block players from refunding lmao

[uncut bay]

i doubt the studio wanted it, it's the publisher that's an issue

if i'd bought it today i'd have refunded just for the launcher alone

unfortunately i'm a 2018 supporter

[weary osprey]

People still talk on this channel 💀

[mental delta]

What's the matter ?

[weary osprey]

This game is ded I expected this channel to be ded by now, last time I came here@was dec 2021

[mental delta]

Season 1 comes out soon and in case you wonder you are not the only guy who speaks here lol

[weary osprey]

Which is why I’m surprised

[mental delta]

If season 1 is good enough people will speak here more often I guess

[topaz slate]

1 big advantage of current state of 2042 is that due to extremly low interest in game overall cheat providers didnt even bother so i dont think i have come across obvious cheater yet xD

[visual gazelle]

That's the silver lining, I guess!

[trim wyvern]

https://twitter.com/_Tom_Henderson_/status/1533215379866148864?t=1I0qc4NOC_ygGBgGzBQ-tw&s=19

[trim wyvern]

season 1

[plush ice]

Yknow what blows my mind? Prob only around 6k players total, that’s assuming console players are on it as much as steam players cause I’m going off the charts, 6k ppl and they still can’t listen to us….

[lofty nymph]

MW2 reveal on the same day @trim wyvern

[tame cobalt]

Oof

[mental delta]

[trim wyvern]

[mental delta]

Season 1 is unlikely to release on June 9th

[radiant prism]

After the launch fiascos, I’ll be shocked if Toms info is accurate and not just clout chasing

[mental delta]

The guy said we would get a campaign and that this was the best BF of all time

[radiant prism]

More importantly he claimed for months to have the reveal trailer, then when it turned out he was wrong he said it was clear the whole time that it was just BF3/4 assets

[worthy inlet]

Y'all still bringing up Tim hankinson

[coral veldt]

I think the light vehicles should have some armor so you don't get shot out there's really a lack of vehicles

Not enough aa either

[tame cobalt]

Doubt
Tom's track record is fantastic

As a leaker

[grizzled whale]

Whispers "ᵖᵉᵗᶦᵗᶦᵒⁿ"

[sour edge]

Are we getting any actual NEW content with season 1?

[grizzled whale]

new map, new specialist, new weapon(s)

rest we dont know

[hardy leaf]

new "specialist" is a negative

[low timber]

Gadgets and vehicles

[hardy leaf]

new map would be cool, if its not empty and lack details

[grizzled whale]

how, we are literally getting a new character

[hardy leaf]

i want a rework of specialist system, something similar to the class system

[grizzled whale]

cool, you wont get it

[hardy leaf]

rather than a new specialist, a class system would bring back more players

[hardy leaf]

cool, the game will die then

[grizzled whale]

specialists are the least of its problems

its fine as it is, id rather have them fix the actual big issues the game has, then maybe rework something thats of minor importance

[radiant prism]

I think DICE has alluded to some kind of rework already

Specialists aren’t going anywhere, but they’ve heard us

[sour edge]

Have we seen any of this shit or still in the dark

[grizzled whale]

not officially, but new map and specialist have been confirmed from the start

[radiant prism]

We don’t know specifics besides datamined stuff, but we know something is coming for sure in terms of a new map and new specialist (and new guns, as well as the portal weapons)

[shy latch]

and don't forget new vehicles as well

[low timber]

and gadgets, from portal at least, maybe the Javelin? and claymore?

[sour edge]

Gosh, still no fuckijg concrete info dam

[noble scaffold]

sounds interesting, from a map i’d really like something right in the mountains, (maybe a spoiler for top gun maverick:) ||but something like the military base near the end of the film, deep in the mountains with some deep forrest, i think that’s make an interesting map||

entrenched positions too

and some stationary weapons

[lucid goblet]

I'd love to see some jungle ruins, like a military complex in ruins and "reclaimed" by nature, kinda like this https://twitter.com/Carpo_VP/status/1532396200992903173?s=20&t=nl01Ji4Me6poEmto7K3hTA

Like Operation Outbreak from BF4?

[plush ice]

I’d love to see any ruins of that matter… preferably some that isn’t a giant boat on the middle of the land and that’s it

[lucid goblet]

aye something similar

[last swift]

not clean enough

[mental delta]

Lol I remember him saying the game would set in Eastern Europe and would be regular armies combat, he said that would be like BF4, idk why people still believe him tbh

Also there isn't forest in any map

[low timber]

Orbital?

[weary osprey]

The game is an abandoned overgrown complex in a jungle 🤓

[lucid goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/theoffice-stanley-blank-stare-waiting-gif-7195670

[slim urchin]

those game on steam has 100k bad reviews lmao, oh and also i saw that game on ps5 cost around 20€ in gamestop

[grizzled whale]

ok, but who asked

[mental delta]

Major part of the map is constructions and roads

[fiery zenith]

[whole plume]

Almost level 53

You proud of me angel ?

[grizzled whale]

no

[weary osprey]

What happened to the zeppelin joke

[nova idol]

I do not think the specialist system is bad but I wouldnt mind if it went back to a class system

The maps are too big but thats not really the main issue, the real problem is how empty they are

I mean ffs whats the point of having sectors if they have a max of 2 flags

[whole plume]

Why

[radiant prism]

That was a few months ago lol

[whole plume]

Tell me why ain't nothing but a heartacheeeeee

[weary osprey]

[grizzled whale]

better question

why isnt the music in the attack helicopter limited to fortunate son and fortunate son only

[whole plume]

I fucking hate condors bro

[vale gale]

Noone is playing 128 conquest in my server now

[whole plume]

There so fucking annoying bro Im trying to fly and got 4 on my fucking nut sack eating my fucking ball hairs

[noble scaffold]

condors are fine

their weapons are no actual good

but good to transport people around

[grizzled whale]

hahahaha 50mm cannon goes NUKE SOUND

[whole plume]

There fucking annoying especially when your trying to fucking doing EXACTLY

[noble scaffold]

self defence 50mm, can basically only hit stuff right underneath it

[grizzled whale]

the 50mm cannon is literally the best anti vehicle and anti infantry weapon in the game

[whole plume]

All of em had the 50 mm and I'm being fucking lit up like a god damn fourth of July firework show

[grizzled whale]

it 5 shots a wildcat

[mental delta]

No don't

[noble scaffold]

what

[whole plume]

Had my fucking nuts violently slapped by a fucking 50mm across the damn map

[noble scaffold]

shoot it down

[mental delta]

I had more fun on portal maps in exodus conquest gamemode than on any 2042 maps, is that normal ?

[whole plume]

There's fucking 5 of em

[noble scaffold]

no there isn’t

[whole plume]

Then tell me why I just shot down 2 and there's still more in the air eating my ass

[noble scaffold]

at least on xbox, you can only have like two or three transport vehicles on your side

pretty sure

[grizzled whale]

yeah 2 is max

[mental delta]

Angel... he does it again

[noble scaffold]

and that includes the MAVs

[mental delta]

[whole plume]

How is there MORE then

[noble scaffold]

there isn’t

[whole plume]

I have one over my head as we speak lighting up c flag

[mental delta]

Maybe enemy team has stolen them to yours

[grizzled whale]

enemy has hinds tho

[noble scaffold]

yeah, one

[mental delta]

Something of a trauma in his personnality yeah

[whole plume]

Please just end this horrific match everywhere I run there's fucking air craft murdering me

[mental delta]

R word ?

[grizzled whale]

just grab a 57mm wildcat

[whole plume]

That's true lemme redeploy

[mental delta]

This mf is horrible, now I get hacked everytime I'm in chopper and they launch missiles at me so I can't deploy flares

[whole plume]

Ight I shot down one the other one I can't find rn

[noble scaffold]

🐐 caliber

[grizzled whale]

good, the only good chopper is a destroyed one

[noble scaffold]

sounds like your doing more complaining on discord than shooting down the condors

[whole plume]

Yeah got two monitors so I can complain and play it just makes the experience better

[mental delta]

But I love to play chopper bro

[shell ermine]

The way vehicle spawns work in 2042 is incredibly stupid. Why should players have to pick between an MBT or a mobile AA? It just screws up balance and vehicle play.

[noble scaffold]

how would you do it then

[whole plume]

Because AA goes brrrrr

[grizzled whale]

God the nightbird looks so good tho

[whole plume]

Jesus

[shell ermine]

Set spawns for each vehicle?

Obviously

[mental delta]

Stop sending that shit everytime someone says they like choppers

[grizzled whale]

https://tenor.com/view/no-i-dont-think-i-will-captain-america-old-capt-gif-17162888

[mental delta]

I like previous BF system in which vehicles were already deployed before spawning in it, you could wait in front of the spawn to suddenly see on and get it

[whole plume]

Angel how much for you to join my game and keep helicopters and shit out the air

[mental delta]

Ho trust me u better be

[grizzled whale]

well even with a 57mm wildcat, if its a competent pilot i wont get it alone

[noble scaffold]

would there be one spawn per vehicle?

[grizzled whale]

it takes 9 shot to destroy one

[shell ermine]

Its incredibly funny/stupid how when playing the Exodus Playlist you can spawn immediately on the classic maps while you have to wait through like 90 seconds of bullshit when playing the 2042 maps

[grizzled whale]

or well, 9 crits

[pine roost]

It's honestly one reason why i'm really enjoying the mode

I don't get bored by the time it loads up

[shell ermine]

Did you play Battlefield 4? That system. So it would depend on the map.

[sour edge]

Your name looks so good when it pops up when I kill u in the the night bird

[grizzled whale]

cope

[sour edge]

L comeback lol

[grizzled whale]

dont need a comeback, you play nightbird

that on its own is a self burn and a half

[noble scaffold]

interesting

[pine roost]

I play nightbird but I don't use the rockets out of principle

[grizzled whale]

you will still go boom

[sour edge]

Almost as if battlefield is more than just infantry combat. If I only want to play with guns I’ll play cod

[noble scaffold]

i use the air to ground missiles in the night bird

[mental delta]

Well I do and that's incredibly fun to see all these fools go boom

[grizzled whale]

cope

[lost ocean]

nightbird is the most broken vehicle I've ever seen in any BF game. If it was a nightbird vs a titan from BF 2142, the nightbird would win.

[grizzled whale]

haha nightbird go boom

[whole plume]

12 gauge and recoilless m5=funny set up

[pine roost]

The nightbird also has some wacky stabilisation thing going on

[mental delta]

Of course it would, nightbird is for giga kings

[whole plume]

When I run out of ammo in shotgun I whip out rpg and go crazy

[mental delta]

Unfortunately there's no actual RPG in that game, only weird rocket launchers

[whole plume]

The m5 is what I mean

[sour edge]

It’s not even the bird, just the rockets and shit maps

[mental delta]

I would prefer a modern RPG and not that weird thing

[sour edge]

Literally with better cover and more AA options it’s not OP

[mental delta]

There's no infantry zone on any maps, so you can't hide when a chopper is tracking you

[sour edge]

Yes fair

[grizzled whale]

brrrt

[shell ermine]

DICE has never been able to properly balance helicopters. I'd much rather deal with the planes in BFV than helicopters ever

[arctic grove]

I loved using the planes in V

[grizzled whale]

dont even really need a wildcat to take down a nightbird, all you need is a shotgun

[shell ermine]

They just need to fucking fix the 50mm cannon on the Hind so it isn't more powerful than the 57mm on the Wildcat

[grizzled whale]

yes

if i know that a condor or hind has a 50mm i dont even engage

cuz before i can land 9 shot on a moving transport chopper i will be dead

[shell ermine]

Its ridiculous that the same cannons perform differently on different vehicles. It's a balance bandaid

Its what, 5 shots from a Hind/Condor 50mm to kill a MBT or Wildcat?

[grizzled whale]

wildcat, not MBT

[whole plume]

I love this

[whole plume]

No way

[whole plume]

What's your set up on that damn thing

[grizzled whale]

its shit like that which makes me love hardcore

[placid echo]

You don't really need co-op to level up stuff, you can just do it solo. If you're using vehicles, the bots might be better on the guns so that means more assists.

[fossil flax]

What a time to be alive

[edgy moon]

so is bf2042 actually good now or?

[chilly jacinth]

its better

not sure id call it good yet

[noble scaffold]

few more days till season one

season one should have been the real release of the game

[unborn herald]

I'm only bothered with the poor optimization

[edgy oriole]

with how much they are changing i doubt there will be better optimization for some time.

[silk surge]

I'm kinda sad that they're replacing Angel's quips. Those ones in particular definitely have a 'so bad its good' charm to them at this point.

[silk surge]

Don't be sad, this is just how it works out sometimes. THERE, now nobody gets to reply that.

[vivid nacelle]

I hope they make changes again on Breakthrough, defending is impossible.

[radiant flint]

no it isnt

[slim quiver]

Where’s the article that shows they’re replacing the lines and stuff

[teal prism]

tomorrow season 1 trailer

is that true?

[silk surge]

It's from an update video on Battlefield main Youtube channel... well, it was initially a blog post on EA forums.

[silk surge]

No. Tomorrow is Sweden's national day. There's no way it's dropping tomorrow. Thursday next week is most likely.

[shell ermine]

No, and don't expect it to be

[teal prism]

cheers

[shell ermine]

The next BF is due out Fall 2024 so this game doesn't even have enough time to get to the border of good

[mental delta]

Yes I work for Dice it's true

[silk surge]

That's more than 2 years from now lol.

[fair pilot]

Are the yellow internet connection problem icons really the internet or the game?

[calm bison]

It’s your internet and the game

[shell ermine]

Exactly, nowhere near enough time for DICE to make 2042 good

[mental delta]

Game

[calm bison]

We have a handy chart for internet symbols on Battlefield

[dim hatch]

Nem3sis is fun

[calm bison]

I just can’t remember the command, nor do it

[mental delta]

Don't matter, skate 4 will release before

[waxen turret]

Mehhh

[teal prism]

if you work do you know if the season 1 is good?

[waxen turret]

bf4 is more enjoyable 😄

[mental delta]

Oddly good, 3 weapons, 0.5 of a new map and the new vehicle is actually a bicycle

[teal prism]

jeez 1 map only

[dim hatch]

i can't speak for everyone else, but a bicycle in Hourglass is the update we were looking for

[teal prism]

6 months for 1 map

[mental delta]

But I personally work on the clothe design of each specialist so I can't say a lot of things about real content

[silk surge]

He obviously doesn't work for DICE lol, he's just fucking with you.

[mental delta]

sand, sand everywhere

[dim hatch]

i refuse to believe this. The bicycle is peak BF2042

[edgy moon]

bf4 is everybody's favorite battlefield game isn't it

[dim hatch]

No. BFBC2

[mental delta]

No it's actually more 0.5 of a new map, I mean the said map isn't finished yet but we'll released it though

[mental delta]

Mine is BF3

[teal prism]

it doesnt mean that 100% believe him

[radiant prism]

I personally can’t stand BF4

[elder patrol]

I'm intrigued to see the new specialist

[radiant prism]

It may have been good for 2013, but it’s just outdated nowadays

[mental delta]

A guy with a RC-XD I believe

[slim quiver]

So I read the blog post and if they didn’t change Paik’s look ima be furious

[teal prism]

if tomorrow actually gonna release trailer we will see

[mental delta]

The only disappointing thing is this game is the ton of color, but the game is good

[mental delta]

Tomorrow ? Ho no I did a mistake, I wanted to say tomorrow in 3 weeks

[radiant prism]

BF4 is definitely a good game, it just doesn’t hold up to modern titles as much anymore IMO

Even 2042 in many regards

[dim hatch]

like CoD: Tarkov 2: Battlefield edition

[tranquil turtle]

Bf4's gunplay is boring

Compared to bf3, it felt as if something was missing

[mental delta]

[elder patrol]

I like the variety of weapons in bf4

[dim hatch]

CoD: we have gun attachments
Tarkov: hold my gun case

[mental delta]

U play this u lose 69% of your mental abilities

[dim hatch]

that's 420% more than i had yesterday

[mental delta]

The good point of the game yeah

[mental delta]

And 360% more than what I still have today

[tranquil turtle]

The "variety" was having collections of 2-3 guns with stats that were way too similar

[dim hatch]

that's a full 180 from yesterday!

[mental delta]

Yes I hope I will recover 720% of my abilities

[wanton magnet]

What blog?

[shell ermine]

I hate how all of the small Conquest maps (except Noshahr and Caspian) are just 3 "sectors"

What a stupid fucking change to Conquest this sector garbage

[elder patrol]

I mean yeah but bow go vwooop

[wanton magnet]

Thanks

[elder patrol]

Spaghetti

[shell ermine]

I try with this game I really do, but for every scarce minute of enjoyment I get, I get an hour of frustration and annoyance.

I enjoyed the game more at launch when crossplay off actually had enough players to fill a game, but now nah. Hell, I'm considering deleting the current gen version and trying the last gen version and maybe that'll be better.

[craggy marten]

CampodeBatalla 2420

[slim quiver]

Probably

[fair pilot]

If bf 2042 is being slow, should I restart the game or the whole pc? (It takes a long, long time to load)

[unborn herald]

takes long time to load?

your hdd is the problem lol

[fair pilot]

It didn't do this before.

Oh btw when I say load I mean like to find rounds. Not graphics

Sometimes there's also a black screen

[unborn herald]

ohhh

sometimes I get a black screen when I load in

[loud flower]

How old is this ?

[pine roost]

when the dev talk came out

[versed escarp]

Is the new map exodus out yet? It’s listed as a playable mode but it’s just putting me into normal conquest

[slim quiver]

2 weeks

[pine roost]

No. That's a new mode they've added that is just normal conquest with classic maps. Calling it exodus has just confused things

you'll have to wait a week or so for the first ever content drop to happen. How exciting

[arctic grove]

campodebotalla 2042

[fair pilot]

Can someone please help? I've been waiting for 20 minutes now for the round to load and when it did, it's stuck on a black screen. What do I do?

[craggy marten]

*batalla

[patent meadow]

i played all day yesterday no problems today once i got ea play pro the game stutters audio cuts out and its almost unplayable online

[shy nymph]

what happened to the desert map with the towers that was in conquest 64

[mental delta]

Lmao you waited 20 minutes are you serious ?

[shy nymph]

I haven't gotten it in like 3 days

[mental delta]

Lack of luck

[arctic grove]

puse bot porque siempre juego con bots

[fair pilot]

Yes lmao

[mental delta]

Why ?

[fair pilot]

Now I have to wait for 30 people until the game can be played. Should I wait or no?

[arctic grove]

maybe his region lacks players

[mental delta]

Absolutely no

Why would you wait 30 minutes more

The game's broken leave that shit dude go have some fun on another game

[fair pilot]

Then what? It's been like this every match I try to get into. It needs people to play

[mental delta]

What region are u in

[fair pilot]

How do I check? (getting back into the game hold on)

[mental delta]

Lmao no, I mean which region of the world you live in ?

[fair pilot]

CST however I'm currently somewhere across the world. How do I change the region?

[mental delta]

CST ?

You can't because there's no server browser

Your only hope is to wait for season 1 to bring a server browser or at least to bring players back so your servers aren't empty

[wise zodiac]

English please. Thanks. =]

[patent meadow]

ti bad after i buy the game it runs like shit but during my 10 hour trial it ran like butter

[ripe jacinth]

guessing youve already tried optimizing the settings?

[mental delta]

Now this server looks more like the after-sales service

[ripe jacinth]

it's crazy because outside of launch week i havent had any issues

[patent meadow]

i have a super computer i run every game at max settings i have this game set to low now after having it at ultra for the whole 10 hour trial so im super disapointed

[ripe jacinth]

so idk whats going on with people

and mine is like a decent but meh computer

[patent meadow]

the audio cuts out the game stutters and its only with bf2042

[ripe jacinth]

i dont think its your graphical settings

[chilly jacinth]

putting your settings to low puts more strain on your cpu which is most likely your bottleneck

[ripe jacinth]

^

i would search around for some forums discussing your problems and see if someone there has found a fix

[silk surge]

I love reading my old comments about season 1 back during early 2022. I was a fucking idiot.

[ripe jacinth]

aged like a fine nut sock

[arctic grove]

lmao got it thanks

[ripe jacinth]

i swear to god if they only give us two new guns per battlepass ill rip my teets off

[silk surge]

There's a comment of me complaining about March being too late for season 1 to release....

[ripe jacinth]

hahaha

cant wait to read the one about how much better they can do with season 2 and its exactly the same as season 1

[silk surge]

If season 2 gives us a metro remake, I'll be fine with one map.

[ripe jacinth]

you sick son of a bitch

that map makes me acoustic

with as big as everything has been id love something like the Dragon's Teeth set of maps from bf4

real tiny, claustrophobic cities

[ivory jewel]

looking for some ppl to run with, i mostly play breakthrough....shoot me a dm

[mental delta]

A what ???

[mental delta]

Metro+Seine Crossing for a 128 players version, Metro only 64 and Seine Crossing only 64 too

[vivid nacelle]

only if quick respawn is an option, not waiting 12 seconds for a defending team to spawn

I'm looking at you, unbalanced shit that Breakthrough has become because of fewer vehicles for defending side and vehicles being paper maché

[mental delta]

They'll probably won't give us a metro map anyway

[topaz field]

Smh bf 2022 players are so weak no coordination nothing. no one wants to team out to take out hindi they're so easy to kill hack then 4 people shoot AA or soflam that shit

[ivory jewel]

right, thats why i came to find some squads to run with. solo is frustrating

[wise zodiac]

Lmao no problem

[fiery zenith]

It runs poorly on every computer when compared to any other past BF.

[patent meadow]

it ran great during my 10 hour trial so i figured it would be fine but it isnt

[vivid nacelle]

BF2042 runs pretty ok on my machine, everything is at low tho because I dont have a good graphics card yet

[fiery zenith]

[radiant flint]

which operator is good for hourglass

[arctic grove]

Sundance

[whole plume]

Bro

[topaz field]

bro i Rao is soo under rated as hell. he's my go to guy when i fly heli now. if enemy is overhelm and your heli about to blow up siimple jump out hack the enemy heli mid air then shoot AA at it boom win lol

[whole plume]

Someone just said "I hope Russians kill and rape your mouth" because I didn't kill the attack elo 💀💀

[topaz field]

Sundance,Rao, Angel and mackay

sundance and mackay = speed

Angel & Rao = defensive against AA heli

[radiant flint]

thanks

[mental delta]

Everybody's playing it now, you just have to hack some fool's chopper and then to throw a rocket at it

[mental delta]

Was he talking about real life or ingame feature ?

[whole plume]

Both I think?

[mental delta]

I hope he didn't do that shit to you mate

[whole plume]

Nah he was in my squad because I didn't kill the attack helicopter so when he got in my attack helicopter I nose dived into a building and he left

[mental delta]

Lol did you dive into the building on purpose ?

[whole plume]

Yes

[mental delta]

Lmao why would you do that

[whole plume]

Because he got in my helicopter and he just wished some Russian man would rape my mouth. So he was mad why not make him more mad ?

[mental delta]

Ho I thought he said that after you crashed the heli

You're good that was the best solution, I hope he liked to meet the building btw

[whole plume]

😂😂oh he loved the building so much he had to leave

[arctic grove]

Anyone wanna play on PlayStation?

[shell ermine]

Wow the last gen version of this game is dead as fuck

[foggy halo]

the game has improved quite a bit
didn't play it for weeks

[arctic grove]

It has

[whole plume]

Yo guys does anyone know someone called cutthroat96?

[radiant flint]

what operator is best on kalesioscope

[cunning breach]

@radiant flint gilburt

[topaz field]

servers are lagging hardddd

[shell ermine]

So the last gen version of 2042 is pretty dead. I can find full Exodus games but the servers are full of high ping players so it lags.

Still it's more fun than forced crossplay with PC on the current gen version.

So I gotta pick my poison, lag or PC players

[topaz field]

lies where do you live?

[cunning breach]

lol it is a funny name (gilburt)

[topaz field]

i play on last gen no issue it dependson your region

[forest snow]

what a ripple effect working on right now then?

heard someone say they are working on a project for 2042

[unborn herald]

yea they mentioned something going F2P

probably a battle royale mode

[forest snow]

dear god no

[shell ermine]

North America and I just tried to find matches, took 30 seconds to find a game and it was laggy, same for each subsequent game

[forest snow]

just throw hazard to free play sorted

[topaz field]

you have cross play on or off?

[shell ermine]

On

[topaz field]

strange my servers always fuill

this match im in its lagging so badd

[shell ermine]

They were all full, but just lagging really badly. So I assumed it was a lot of cross region players

[topaz field]

nah they prob doing server stress test lol

mine lagigng so bad the vehicles are freezing mid air

https://clipchamp.com/watch/9ulmXNENbcS

[shell ermine]

Just noticed that the last gen version of Arica doesn't have attack aircraft. Iirc the current gen version does

[bleak tide]

Any news on the new season

[topaz field]

soon

[bleak tide]

Cool thanks

Have a good day

[radiant flint]

hi

[ancient sierra]

Is exodus permanent

[topaz field]

[wide shore]

64 on the base maps is terrible man

Exodus is fun as long as you’re playing the portal maps. But the base maps just are not good with 64

[shell ermine]

I mean the base maps are just terrible, period

[wide shore]

Some of them are fine in 128

Manifest, Kaleidoscope, Orbital, Hourglass sometimes. But in 64 they’re all just shit

[still quail]

Ive had no issues finding matches at all, no lag either

I missed playing tank mains like I did in bf4. Wasn't the same in 1 and 5

[stone cradle]

Now we need a pyramid and we can replace Obama with Angel

[whole plume]

Angel where are you bb

[warped pulsar]

Wonder if any news tomorrow

[tiny imp]

no

[amber star]

Tom Henderson says reveal Tuesday

Launch on Thursday

[topaz field]

https://youtu.be/Rewv3ZjN_3E

[amber star]

This week HAS to be the week, no way it isn’t

[stone cradle]

watch dice delay it to July

[ionic axle]

can you link your xbox account to your pc account and get everything on ur xbox acc?

[fallen sail]

this game supports cross progression

just make sure your xbox is linked to origin

[ionic axle]

ok

[topaz field]

Omg I'm working on a PC Budget build work and play

Amazon is charging me about a extra $90 in taxes!!!

[bleak tide]

Why does this exist

Why do I exist?

[spring sentinel]

?

why

[bleak tide]

I have many many questions

[stone cradle]

Because Angel is like Günter from Battlefield V, he represents life.

[acoustic oar]

my soldiers always wear a mask so nobody knows if its günter or not 😉

[delicate fable]

i think the lack of objectives makes it extra obvious when a team is bad and allows them to get base-camped which rarely happens in 128 due to the distribution of players and objectives

[shell ermine]

The whole sector system is stupid af

[calm bison]

So according to Tom Henderson, we may get 3 trailers tomorrow for 2042

Key word is MAY

The expected release time is 11AM EST

Translate that to your own time zone

But don’t be surprised if it doesn’t come

This message was brought to you by the Peanut Butter Gang

[CORRECTION] Trailers drop on Tuesday

[topaz field]

cuz i live in nyc state taxes are high man

about 9% in sales taxes etc

[hexed mango]

ah yes, -1/1

[pine roost]

Three trailers?

Nah I call cap. They’ve forgotten the password to their YT channel

[hexed mango]

tom henderson is not a reliable source, take everything he says with a truckload, a bucket load, and a pinch of salt

[pine roost]

Tom also got past trailer dates wrong, and more

Just be patient and see what happens

[calm bison]

I mean it is Hom Tenderson

[errant scarab]

Im done with bf2042

[calm bison]

That’s great. Get in line with the others

I wonder if DICE will fix the jet net code in the next patch

They probably won’t, and they probably won’t make the F35 more maneuverable

[pine roost]

No matter what I can’t just abandon battlefield. 2042 may be lacking but bf is my favourite alongside tf

[calm bison]

I was the same way during BFV

[errant scarab]

If the battle pass doesn't get the players back, I quit the game, I got bored of playing with bots and always the same map since there are no more games.

[pine roost]

I watched one clip of cod today that persuaded me against engaging with it at all

[calm bison]

There’s something about this franchise that I just can’t leave

I wonder how the two new choppers will work in game

Given that the Apache and Hokum are pretty hard to use given how many lock ons there are

[pine roost]

I’ve just stuck with the nightbird if I want to fly helis, far more interesting. Especially since I can never trust my gunner to be at all decent

But Tbf I’ve hardly played at all

[calm bison]

The problem with gunners is that they’re always busy shooting the ground that when the chopper v chopper encounters happen, the pilot is stuck using lock ons and inaccurate missiles

[pine roost]

It’s why I never bothered piloting transport aircraft, I’d often be completely stationary and nobody lands a shot

The only cool moment I’ve had with it was in the beta

I sort of flew in and hovered by the railings under the rocket on morbital

And a whole group of guys jumped in and we flew to the tower

[calm bison]

The problem with transports is that you have to keep moving otherwise you’re a sitting duck

Especially for condors

[pine roost]

Was pretty cool. But I’ve noticed that they’ve changed the flight model for the condor since the beta

[pine roost]

Yeah, and I currently don’t know what sweet spot between accuracy and evasiveness

[calm bison]

DICE needs to completely overhaul the flight physics

Jets feel slow and sluggish, they’re hard to control, and it doesn’t help that some jets have an auto-horizon lock

[mental delta]

I miss my Huey helicopter, light and easy to flight, not too heavy

[pine roost]

I know it sounds sad but I’m putting together a document which outlines the problems with aircraft, in as much detail as I can muster, because I really want them changed

For jets and helis

[calm bison]

All I really want is for the F35 to be as maneuverable as the SU-57

Because that jet is completely reliant on getting the drop on the Felon otherwise they’re screwed

[pine roost]

For example, something I learned today in the nightbird is that it has some wacky stabilisation thing when you dive nose first, it pulls your crosshair up without any inputs. Which is why it never goes down when you want it to go down

And I’m constantly having to counter it when aiming. When in 4 that doesn’t happen

It’s obvious that they intended to make it less likely for newbs to crash by doing this, but it messes up aiming as well as the general control

[nova torrent]

They should nerf the jets into the ground

Staying alive for more than a minute in a vehicle with an enemy jet in play is fucking impossibke

[forest snow]

You mean transport choppers

[pine roost]

And jets could use some kind of direction indicator. In 4 it was hardly needed since the jets had good thrust that directs its motion to where the nose is much quicker

[nova torrent]

That too but jets are so much more OP

[calm bison]

There’s like one jet in game that’s viable

[forest snow]

Jets are easy to deal with

[pine roost]

But now it’s so Drifty that said directional indicator would be very useful as a bandage fix

[calm bison]

The F35 has the 30mm and the Passive Radar to be viable

[nova torrent]

How the fuck

What do you do to deal with them then

[pine roost]

Stinger

But if you are a tank or other ground vehicle, the CM is pretty useless

Aps would be nice to have

[nova torrent]

No

[pine roost]

No?

[forest snow]

If I’m a tank and spams agms at me point the tank upwards to aim at him coming into lock me or jump out and use a recoiless

[nova torrent]

Jets can get out of the stingers range in like half a fucking second

[pine roost]

Exactly, they can’t lock vehicles that have no one in them

[forest snow]

Exactly

[pine roost]

Exactly

[nova torrent]

I never thought of that

[forest snow]

They are really not a issue or I’ll just grab a jet myself and take them out

[pine roost]

And idk bout you but stingers did the job well for me

[mental delta]

Bipod is bugged af like 90% of the actual game's stuff

[forest snow]

I would say attack choppers maybe could do with a buff maybe

[nova torrent]

Most of the time theres like 1 or 2 mfs who know how to really fly a jet on most teams

[pine roost]

You are actually seeing jets?

I’ve played so many matches as a jet myself and not once encountered another one

[nova torrent]

You either know every little small ass detail about how a jet works or you crash it within 10 seconds of getting in

[pine roost]

Gets really boring actually, nobody to dogfight anymore with this spawning system

[forest snow]

It’s all about watching where the jet is in the spawn screen and when to spawn your jet you need to try and get the jump on him and take 1 out quickly to move to the next one

For air to air combat use 25mm and radar missiles

[nova torrent]

Yeah assuming it doesnt get yoinked immediately by someone else

[hexed mango]

is 30mm bad

[forest snow]

True but then see how long he lasts and how quickly they jump him if they are watching the spawn

[forest snow]

Has its uses but not many

[nova torrent]

On my team.

[forest snow]

Or just use a wildcat

[pine roost]

The jets as a whole, including their weapons, just feel so inconsistent and unresponsive. Coming from bf4 where everything feels so precise, here it’s all floaty and drifty. The cannon spread is phenomincally bad too

[nova torrent]

The wildcats even have trouble dealing with jets most of the time lmao

[forest snow]

AGMs maybe do need to longer cool down maybe but they still need to do a lot of balancing still so things will change

[forest snow]

What do you use against them

[pine roost]

Yeah. I’m looking forward to seeing if any proper adjustments are made to the feel of the jets themselves as well as the weapons in this upcoming patch

[nova torrent]

30mm obviously

[pine roost]

Will hold off on posting this doc until then

[forest snow]

Yea use the base main weapon and AT or AA and same thing as tanks light him up when he is coming into attack you or jump out repair jump in or recoiless

[ebon bloom]

h

[nova torrent]

Bruh even with a full AA counter loadout i still feel fuckin helpless

[forest snow]

Worst comes to worse grab a condor or hind all crewed out with repair guys and chase him

[pine roost]

What actually happens when you try to engage them? Does it simply not do enough damage?

[nova torrent]

Most oftentimes they engage me

[forest snow]

Don’t stay still in ground vehicles I just keep moving constantly and run for cover if needed

[nova torrent]

Usually i get a few shots on target IF i see them first, then they run away and its usually very hard to see them approching you

[pine roost]

I’ll have to try out the wildcat some more to really get a feel for it. Dealing with helis is easy but jets I’ve not gone up against yet

[nova torrent]

Its much easier to deal with F35s because they're bigger and (i think) slower

[forest snow]

Remember to only fire your thermal smoke at the last min before the agm hits

[forest snow]

They are

Overall it’s AA that needs a buff

[nova torrent]

But jesus christ the fucking SU70s are the bane of my existence because they're so hard to make out in the skies of some maps

[pine roost]

Wait, do you think Irish’s APS could destroy AGMs?

[forest snow]

It doesn’t

[pine roost]

Dang :/

Would be funny though

[forest snow]

Only stops recoiless and anti armour nades

[nova torrent]

On renewal, hourglass, and kaliedoscope, the sky is usually so damn bright that if the SU70 flies high enough they're impossible to see because the sun turns everything into discord light mode

[pine roost]

I’ve mistaken birds for jets on numerous occasions I won’t lie

[nova torrent]

Plus the SU70 is as thin as a goddamn crepe so if its coming right at you from most angles it just looks like a lens flare

[pine roost]

Well then try to keep your missiles equipped at all times, use it to find where they are. Maintain the lock and if they flare, use your smoke and switch to the cannons. If they continue the strafe the smoke will redirect the AGM hopefully, If they break from the strafe, burst them with the cannons. After all their hitbox is largest when turning away from you. Then once they’ve turned away you might be able to land a missile in time

[nova torrent]

Well usually when they're turning away is when ive been hit BY an ATGM because they lock you so fast because im usually dealing with something else, so my turret is disabled and i cant hit the jet because its so fucking OP

[pine roost]

But one thing I will say is that the turn rate for the wildcat is very slow, seems impractical for what Is an AA

[nova torrent]

yeah remember the BF4 AAs

[pine roost]

In that instance then you need to pay more attention to the sky and keep tracking where they are going

[nova torrent]

I think the mere fact that this discussion has been going on for so long proves how fucking OP jets are

[solid imp]

mmmmm.. crepes...

[pine roost]

They are just balanced in the wrong way. The focus has been made on the lock ons as opposed to the aimed weaponry, which has had the effect of making them far more egregious

[nova torrent]

Yeah crepes are good

Yeah

[white geyser]

The AA tank was my favorite vehicle in BF4

[nova torrent]

Like, you have a BT pfp, so im assuming you've played titanfall 2. Hate the smart pistol?

[nova torrent]

Did you camp with it

[white geyser]

Barely

[nova torrent]

I can tell by the zunis you play agressively

Good man.

[pine roost]

For sure, I refuse to use it and despise anyone else who does

Yeah, props for using zunis

[nova torrent]

What if i told you that in titanfall 1 that shit was a normal secondary you could use

with multiple mags and pretty much the same stats

[pine roost]

I’m aware. I’m glad that when I played it back then I was too young to know what I was doing or what was going on

I just used the r-101 and dmr mostly I believe

At least I believe that we’re their names. It’s been so long

I’ve got the prima game guide for it here I could have a look XD

[nova torrent]

Yeah thats basically the same design philosophy as 2042s jets

[pine roost]

Yes, same sort of idea goes for helis aswell

The nightbird is a pain because of its rockets, makes it too easy for anyone to farm kills. I’d say 95% of deaths are caused by said rockets

Heavily Nerf them and it would be in a much better place

[nova torrent]

Nerf their firerate

[pine roost]

And count too

[nova torrent]

yeah

I think max should be 12 or so

[pine roost]

16 rockets is an absurd number. I’d reduce them to like 4 so they only act as a cleanup or initiation

[wise zodiac]

🧐 🧐

[pine roost]

Cause 4 rockets is practically all it takes to kill one person anyway

[nova torrent]

its 3 im sure

[pine roost]

Then that leaves open an opportunity for cheese kills, but most of the strength should lie in the minigun itself

[nova torrent]

or 20mm

[pine roost]

You know what would be really cool

If I could actually change these values myself in portal to try out

[nova torrent]

I think the minigun and 20mm are decently balanced bcs the 20mm doesnt do too much damage and overheats quick enough to make it not be able to be spamfired into groups of infantry for like 10 secs

[pine roost]

Minigun just needs some spread reduction and more visible tracers and it’s golden

[wise zodiac]

[pine roost]

It’s hammer time?

[wise zodiac]

Yes.

Good song

Makes me say, oh my lord

Can't touch this

[wise zodiac]

It's actually Peter time.

[arctic grove]

As much as I hate the Nightbird let’s not nerf it until it’s hilariously useless

The MAV 30mm is a great example, it’s awful

[pine roost]

Even if they reduced the rocket count, it could still shred fairly large groups of enemies. Just not entire teams worth

[arctic grove]

Something can be done and I’m not sure what myself, but I just don’t want the air vehicles to be like, awful

[pine roost]

Me neither, I still want the jets and helis to actually be fun to fly and with interesting gameplay

But since the nightbird is a topic constantly brought up as something negative, it’s worth considering what could be done to even things out

[arctic grove]

Yeah true, it is pretty bad, just don’t want it to get done like the attack helicopter 30mms, goodness they’ll overheat before you barely get a single kill with em

And MAV 30mm

…..

[pine roost]

I think the heli 30mm is fair to stay the way it is, because it requires actual aim and tracking ability to use well. Agms do not. Therein lies the problem for me

Btw, as an Apache main, do you fly in a duo or by yourself?

[arctic grove]

True, best to prioritize where you can get the most kills before it overheats. And on the bright side it cools down quickly as well

Also, nope, usually just wing it alone although it always makes my job easier when there’s another competent pilot

[pine roost]

I’ve got no buddies who would actually want to copilot with me. I’m the only one in my friend group who has actually put any effort into flying so it’s usually solo for me too

Plus, none of them can actually run the game or want to run the game :/

[arctic grove]

Actually on botb in portal even if your base is gone you can still call in tanks and buggies

[loud flower]

I hate this with a burning passion but I have to applaud of the effort tips hat

[quick totem]

what is the difference between exodus and regular conquest?

[wide violet]

map pool

[quick totem]

i see

i just played the same map on both modes so i was confused

[wide violet]

it takes Dice 12months to make a single map so they borrowed from portal

[loud flower]

accurate

[merry furnace]

sseason one 9 June ❤️

[mental delta]

Who said that ?

[arctic grove]

atom henderson article

Tom moment

[merry furnace]

😎

[mental delta]

Ho not him again

[arctic grove]

[mental delta]

He says lot of shit everytime but people always only remember of the 1% of garbage that he correctly predicted

Like of he never said something wrong

[arctic grove]

He hyped up 2042 so much it was funny lol

[mental delta]

He's probably wrong

[mental delta]

Yes he made us think there would be a campaign at some moment

[arctic grove]

Lmao

[mental delta]

Sorry he was right, we got that little introduction when we launched the game for the first time

[arctic grove]

There’s your campaign

[mental delta]

Yes and a pretty good one

[arctic grove]

depression

[wide shore]

BF1 opening is still the best in the series

[mental delta]

1 map in 7 months = more depression

[mental delta]

It was really intelligent to do it like that yes

[wide shore]

Storm of Steel is the best bit of campaign DICE has ever concocted. I wish they made a full campaign just like that

[arctic grove]

dont give me depression 2.0

[mental delta]

I wish they made campaign

[wide shore]

I didn’t care much for the stories in BFV

[mental delta]

3 guns in 7 months = depression 3.0

[wide shore]

Nor do I care much about BF campaigns anyway. Storm of Steel and the BC games are the only exception

The rest is either okay, or awful. I don’t miss it

[mental delta]

They don't make campaigns anymore so

[arctic grove]

for 60-130 USD

[mental delta]

90 bucks personally

I'm fine I'll pretend that game never happened

[arctic grove]

Imagine if HZ becomes f2p in s1

[mental delta]

At this point the whole game should be

[main mango]

has season 1 been announced officially yet?

[midnight karma]

what are the best weapons

[main mango]

PP 29 is pretty good

[midnight karma]

ok thanks

[merry furnace]

@chrome terrace

[wide shore]

Yes but no

Yes as in: It’s been announced for months. We know it’s coming this month & we know an outline of what is gonna be in it.

No as in: We don’t know the exact date, we have no idea what Exposure looks like, we have no idea what guns/cosmetics are coming

[copper fulcrum]

We don't have a theme or anything of what's actually coming in terms of content other than

"I am from Canada"

[midnight karma]

what is the best op

[wide shore]

I just matchmaked into a match on Arica Harbor and lost instantly. The round timer at the end was 5:16

What. The. Fuck. Is. The. Point

I’m going back to 128. These maps ain’t worth playing 64 in this game.

[hexed mango]

its a semi-forrest map

[hearty flame]

We have concept art but its old and i dont trust dice to really design by concept art

[hexed mango]

true. but if its canada, as confirmed by that dev, its probably gonna be a forrest

[copper fulcrum]

It depends on your playstyle

Aggressive play, go with either Sundance or Mackay
Supportive play, go to pretty much anyone else

[wide shore]

4 games in a row I get out on a team that’s losing by 600+ tickets. I just want to play 1 full fucking game. Why do we have to matchmake after every fucking round

[hexed mango]

be mad

[wide shore]

I am mad. This is ridiculous. I’ve played 4 rounds and have played a combined 5 minutes

[hexed mango]

i mean im fine with matchmaking after each game, i just wish they had 2 buttons at EOR, a quit, which brings you back to the lobby, and a continue that matchmakes in the EOR screen, like Overwatch does

[midnight karma]

what is the best mag for pp29

[tranquil turtle]

high power

[midnight karma]

k

[tranquil turtle]

regular ammo removes the uniqueness of the pp-29

it's meant to be the ak-24 of smgs with the default high power rounds

[midnight karma]

ok what is the best muzzle

[arctic grove]

watch it be empty space

[safe inlet]

I will cry

[arctic grove]

i will laugh and play the damn map

[safe inlet]

I want this game to succeed so badly, S1 needs to slap for that to happen

I highly appreciate fixing maps and making them more cluttered too, they’re moving in the right direction finally

It just needs to stay that way

[dry portal]

is 2042 still the hot garbage mess it was or have they actually developed it?

[hearty flame]

gotta wait for s1 to see

[fallen yarrow]

Still pretty much the same

[hexed mango]

the video blog said it would have "traditional bf map values" so i doubt

[arctic grove]

it is being developed as we speak.

[dry portal]

lets just hope they dont dent it for money like most other game franchises

[hexed mango]

its ea.

[dry portal]

i know thats what im sayin

most of the other ea published / developed games have gone for a quick cash grab and left in the dust

[hexed mango]

thats not necessarily because they intended for it to be a cash grab, but because they needed the hands to work on something else

and or a project was failing, so they jump ship (which is the pussy move)

[hearty flame]

if 2042 was a cashgrab it sure wasnt cheap

[hexed mango]

and it sure would of been abandonded by now

[hearty flame]

it kinda is. by the playerbase that is. and if s1 doesnt do well i can see ea slowly and queitly winding down 2042

[hexed mango]

abandoned in the sense of development.

it isnt, not at all.

[hearty flame]

well i mean dice/ea cant afford to. who would by the next bf if they abandon 2042

[hexed mango]

plus, i dont think they would give us the first two seasons of planned updates, to just dip, cause that would completely break the trust of anyone like me who stuck around

[hexed mango]

exactly

[arctic grove]

ea would break the trust of the fanbase tho.

[dry portal]

they already have

[dry portal]

putting a "battle pass" in all of their games

[hexed mango]

ok?

[hearty flame]

i think that if bf isnt a decent piece of their revenue they could entertain the idea of breaking the trust of the bf community

[hexed mango]

that proves what exactly..?

[hearty flame]

I mean didnt the quarterly report say something like 2042 is expected to be like 5% of their revenue this fiscal year?

[dry portal]

cause its kinda garbage rn

[hearty flame]

its a live service game with no live service and mtx

though you can bet there are some whales out there that want to spend on 2042 to spite everyone that left

[dry portal]

i mean hell, the next battlefield could be a stupid mobile game if it werent for the fanbase

[hearty flame]

i mean there is a bf mobile in dev

[hexed mango]

mtx are coming with s1

[hearty flame]

i know i meant atm

[dry portal]

they do that a lot

[hexed mango]

well soon

[dry portal]

they make a game thats was hyped up, leave it at garbage for awhile, and then bring a huge update

[arctic grove]

They are working on a mobile bf game already. it looks decent. even better than 2042

[hexed mango]

aka 4.0

[hearty flame]

its the live service lol

[dry portal]

thats a low bar

[arctic grove]

2042 will finally be launch ready in s1 at least.

[arctic grove]

Yup

[dry portal]

there's probably gonna be a bunch of p2w nonsense too

[hearty flame]

haha we'll see

[fallen yarrow]

Doubtful

[arctic grove]

if not tho, it will be sad and underwhelming

[hexed mango]

i mean im enjoying the game rn, thats all that matters to me

[dry portal]

fair

[hexed mango]

i am a bit disappointed about the mtx tho
just seems weird...

[hearty flame]

1 map and a few guns is already sad and underwhelming

[hexed mango]

• specialist + bp

[copper fulcrum]

It's been confirmed that weapons/gadgets or any other gameplay changing item will be available to all for free

[hearty flame]

still sad and underwhelming

[hexed mango]

i wasnt saying that

[copper fulcrum]

That was in regards to the p2w message by Mars earlier

[hexed mango]

o

[arctic grove]

Agreed. Then the death of 12bt and HZ doesnt help dice's case.

[dry portal]

well they could just slap some of them in a battle pass and make it almost impossible unless you grind all day and night or you spend a bunch of money on it

[hearty flame]

dice shot themselves in the foot then amputated it lol

[copper fulcrum]

There's the free battle-pass. BFV had some items included in their free battlepass system and any weapons were given really early on in the stages

[hearty flame]

the weapons were the weekly challenge path reward though werent they?

[copper fulcrum]

Some were, but weapons like the Jungle Carbine, Model 27 were in the chapter leveling system

[arctic grove]

Hey at least we got all the white skins during winter so thats cool lmao

[hexed mango]

I mean i dont think a soul would of rather had HZ developed than AoW, im behind them not updating hz anymore, specially in favor of portal and aow
128bt being removed was just a bad idea. who tf said we should remove the most popular gamemode?

[arctic grove]

apparently the fans did. Dice blamed the fans because the community didnt like it.

Granted its not everyone's cup of tea but a game mode they pitched shouldnt be completely removed.

[hexed mango]

i mean i enjoyed hz a lot, but i dont think its worth as much as aow or portal
and 128p bt was just fun, chaotic, good fun.

[hearty flame]

well its not being removed just halting development. which is funny for a gamemode that they wanted to be a third wheel but kinda put no effort into saving (and maybe developing)

[hexed mango]

yeah i know.

[fallen yarrow]

Whoever decided to buff the Hind/Condor in 4.1 needs to be fired and never be allowed to work on a video game again

[grizzled whale]

Dead meme

[hexed mango]

?

[wide shore]

I don’t think it was ever really buffed. I think more people just realized their worth and the 50mm cannon after the Nightbird was removed from transport

[arctic grove]

Anyone on PS?

[wide shore]

The problem is DICE keeps putting insane weaponry on transport vehicles.

Why does a transport heli have a 50mm gun in the first place

[hexed mango]

uh... the AC-130 is technically a transport bomber, it has big guns.

[wide shore]

Just because it has them irl doesn’t mean they should be in the game

[hexed mango]

but the game is using irl reference.

[fallen yarrow]

Sorry, it was buffed in 4.0 not 4.1, forgot 4.1 didnt have any meaningful updates anyways

50mm Cannon has been tweaked against other vehicles
Start and End Damage 60 -> 65
ImpactImpulse 8000 -> 3000
This change means it should now destroy the MD540 Nightbird in 2, instead of 3 shots

[fallen yarrow]

IRL 1 bullet to head kills you. IRL you can't be revived after being blown up by a tank shell

[wide shore]

Transport vehicles should be used for transport and should only have small guns. The transport helis in BF4 just had 2 mini guns. Why does the Hind/Condor need 2 mini guns and a 50mm cannon as well?

[hexed mango]

i mean i guess even then, the irl osprey has a belly-munted gatling gun, and a tail mounted machine gun, as well as rockets
which isnt how the condor works

[hexed mango]

cause thats cooler.

[wide shore]

They’re literally better than the attack helicopters. Because they can’t be taken down as easy, and they can be repaired by 2 people at once

[hexed mango]

only better if you have a competent squad

[fallen yarrow]

And there are 2 spawns per team on most of the 64p maps

[wide shore]

The Bolte had to be moved because it was better than attack vehicles.

[copper fulcrum]

A Nightbird can still decimate a Condor or a Hind if it knows how to move well enough

[fallen yarrow]

LMAO no, anyone and their grandmom can dominate in the Hind/Condor

[arctic grove]

Bolte needs to be moved back to recon vehicles since its trash now.

[wide shore]

This is true. I spawned in a condor yesterday and got like 20 assists and I was only in the air for like 3 minutes.

Those things are legit ez mode.

They should not be better attack helicopters than attack helicopters.

[copper fulcrum]

Mackay with C5 go brrrrrrrrt

[fallen yarrow]

They're also as agile as the other choppers, if not more

and Condors can chase jets all around the map
