Give a read.

[solid imp]

EMP part is good... literally never use the EMP and just makes swapping between the other two needlessly clicky

[hearty flame]

Suppressing is an interesting mechanic but hard to balance I feel

[velvet sand]

Man, if she can't clear a whole map off of 10ft of elevation that'd be grand.

[shell ermine]

They seriously need to give Nimble to everyone and find some other passive for Mackay

[solid imp]

Better yet, make him get stuck behind the slowest guy on the zipline instead of clipping through him 😉

[grizzled whale]

FINALLY VEHICLE KILL ASSISTS

[dusk fern]

It is but that’s kinda the point. Keep the enemy from running straight back into battle hop skipping all the way lol with suppression they’ve gotta use cover,zig zag and think about their plays.

[olive lake]

Guess all I can do is freaking hope the uncap is a shadow update....Like that'll fucking happen though

[velvet sand]

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!

[grizzled whale]

FINALLY THE NTW WILL BE VIABLE

[olive lake]

With AI being squadmates now I see no more reason why AOW Solo/Co-op would have to stay uncapped.

[grizzled whale]

MORE HEADSHOT XP

[olive lake]

Portal, fine. But AOW the core gamemode should just be not capped anywhere. Even HZ given its a dead mode now

[frosty mural]

Love how they are 1-upping CoD with their MW2 reveal on June 8th by doing a season 1 reveal on June 7th LOL

[grizzled whale]

max, nobody is gonna agree with you here, just stop

[velvet sand]

1uping lol, as if the two are remotely comparable at this point

[solid imp]

Legit nice

Providing smoke cover in which teammates are healed or revived now triggers an XP event

[hearty flame]

Lol 2042 1upping mw2? I'm dices dreams lol

[velvet sand]

I agree with him, but I know DICE/Ripple will never change their position on that.

[next onyx]

Lolwat.

[dusk fern]

MW2 is actual hype lol 2042 had its chance for real.

[tribal cradle]

Thats a new change ?

[next onyx]

Yep.

[grizzled whale]

ships elevators?

[next onyx]

Think they mean the ziplines.

[solid imp]

OH THIS... this is good

Using the The SOFLAM Designator now gives Assist XP after a designated vehicle has been destroyed by a friendly

[grizzled whale]

yas!

[rotund trout]

why the hind has not been nerfed lmao
it's broken

[tribal cradle]

That must mean they've been reduced to what.. 1 now ?

[warped pulsar]

So you guys believe this time MW2 will live up to the hype?

[next onyx]

We'll have to see.

[velvet sand]

Finally, 9 months post-launch DICE is finishing core development on the game they sold us for full AAA price 9 months ago.

[next onyx]

Yeah Omega.

[honest comet]

do u see the name of channel

[hearty flame]

Mw2 will definitely meet the hype better than 2042 did

[olive lake]

Yeah fuck it at this point I'm praying there's shadow changes involved.

[solid imp]

https://tenor.com/view/it-is-totally-me-eeyore-raining-sad-gif-15377291

[warped pulsar]

How are you so sure?

[olive lake]

Like last update

[grizzled whale]

theres nothing on the 50mm cannon nerf

[honest comet]

bcs hes an cod fan and u can sell him any crap by the name of cod lol

[grizzled whale]

I cant wait to go wild on conquest against players and get EVEN MORE xp than before now

[ebon pilot]

it's a lot easier to meet hype if there's nothing new

[hearty flame]

Cuz 2042 failed spectacularly to meet the hype. And mw2 is still gonna be a cod game so hype will be easy to meet

[tribal cradle]

I don't know how I feel about that yet. Classic BF3-4 64 Player was 1 Attack / 1 Transport but Transport vehicles were nowhere near as powerful as Condor / MI are. And I feel like it will reduce effective aerial counters for them. Guess we'll have to see.

[warped pulsar]

Cod wanted to sell those cheap kill cam skins

[next onyx]

Ayo.

[dull cedar]

based

[solid torrent]

Nice

[tribal cradle]

Guessing that means it will actually recoil now lol..

[shell ermine]

We have reduced the total number of Air Attack vehicles that can be active at any time to 1 per team

[dull cedar]

cringe

[shell ermine]

Attack aircraft shouldn't even be on the BC2 maps

[warped pulsar]

they say hundreds of changes for the 1.0 update, that's good to hear

[hearty flame]

Lol of course they go this route instead of buffing any aa

[dull cedar]

there shouldn't be any limits on how much aircraft a team can have

[soft dagger]

AA is good enough rn

[next onyx]

There should have adjusted the portal maps accordingly to play as if they're like that.

Remove 2042 air vehicles and have an in world Blackhawk for both teams at their bases.

Well, In bad co 2.

In bf3 that's a completely different story.

But hey. Whatever.

[tribal cradle]

Or you know.. make transport vehicles solely for transport (not more op than attack vehicles)

[shell ermine]

2042 needs to go back to the BF4 system of a set number of each type of vehicle rather than these pools

[next onyx]

Eh.

You can do both still.

[hearty flame]

Agreed

[mental delta]

This update brings up the dumbest changes I've ever seen in a BF game

[next onyx]

I wouldn't mind it if hey look, 1 of each transport and helicopter to make sure they're being used.

What changes don't you like?

[mental delta]

Only 1 air vehicle per team, wtf is that lol ?

[next onyx]

Attack craft?

Yeah.

[shell ermine]

Imo just remove helicopters entirely. Battlefield is better without them

[solid imp]

lolol

Missiles from aircraft would sometimes loop around targets. They now head straight for them with unbridled rage

[mental delta]

2 air vehicle was fine and they should have almost brought up an own category for jets, like 2 atack helis or nightbirds per team + 1 jet

[next onyx]

It would be cool if jets were their own craft instead of stuck in a shared section.

[tribal cradle]

This should be the starting point. Imo, especially in the Exodus Conquest playlist. It's historically worked in previous BF games and would provide meaningful data to them on what is actually unbalanced in each vehicle class.

[mental delta]

Yes their decisions with this game are dumb af to be honest, I'm a bit disappointed and season 1 didn't come out

[next onyx]

Honestly I hate helicopters with a dying passion so I don't mind but at the same time jeez.

Surprised they're not looking as the Ospreys, There's probably a hidden change.

[solid imp]

They got some comedians on these patch notes lol

Fixed an issue which would cause the LATV4 Recon to question the laws of physics and lose gravitational force while exiting the vehicle when it's upside down

[next onyx]

There are so many notes I can't read them all.

[solid imp]

The headlights on the MAV would sometimes flicker, causing a little disco disco time. We have resolved the MAV lights going disco disco.

[next onyx]

But dice has always done a good job there.

[river trench]

Disco disco

@solid imp can u find more its funny

[solid imp]

Exiting the MAV fixes... perfect

[tribal cradle]

Fixed an issue which would sometimes cause the Plus Menu to not be openable while in a passenger seat of a vehicle

I was never able to do this and always assumed it was purposeful.. glad it's fixed

[jovial quest]

Already DICE here’s your last chance don’t screw it up

[shell ermine]

Nosferatu

[mental delta]

They heard you and didn't fix nightbirds because they know you love them so much

[jovial quest]

[grizzled whale]

they limited the amount of attack choppers to 1 though

[tribal cradle]

Still alot of stuff I've reported not fixed though which is a shame..

[chilly oak]

lets be real here people said that for the release of the game, they will always have chances

[jovial quest]

I’m talking about me

[chilly oak]

k

[solid imp]

I think @next onyx already posted this one but...

Found an extra gear in the engine of the EBAA Wildcat, giving it an easier time driving uphill

[mental delta]

I saw that and I am really disappointed

[ripe pecan]

well, just read the update notes for tomorrow, still see no M&K support for consoles despite playing with PC players....................

[grizzled whale]

I am too, cant take down as many choppers per match

[next onyx]

That was skipper, Kaos.

[grizzled whale]

you have aim assist, we dont

[next onyx]

That Aim assist is non existent.

[solid imp]

ahhh mb

[next onyx]

Slowdown is shit.

[mental delta]

Stop your chopper's hate

[ripe pecan]

That don't mean all of us use it, and aim assist VS M&K, mouse will win 9/10 times, it means nothing

[grizzled whale]

no

[patent path]

just plug in your m&k bruh

[ripe pecan]

its always plugged in, theres no support on next gen for this game at all

[mental delta]

What did you do to my boy ?

[grizzled whale]

i made it better

on fire and non functioning

[mental delta]

He's better when alive and not blowing up in the skyes

[grizzled whale]

nah

[mental delta]

I am confident, he'll respawn soon

[grizzled whale]

the nightbird is at its peak when its exploded and falling towards the ground at terminal velocity

[river trench]

Imagine if the vehicles we geittng for s1 is only 1 heli each team 💀

[arctic grove]

WAIT WHAT??? DICE FOUND AN EXTRA GEAR???

[warped pulsar]

What if their designs are cool? Since it's stealth

[tribal cradle]

Will C5 still stick to mid air/bushes! Only time will tell

[river trench]

Yes but waiting months for only 2 is a scam

[mental delta]

You just disabled him for a short amount of time but he always comes back stronger
200 000 units are ready with a million more well on the way

[velvet sand]

Also, 1 attack aircraft for 128p modes seems uh...small?

[grizzled whale]

Who had scam on their bingo card?

[velvet sand]

Man, DICE is having a helluva time trying to fix vehicles without actually revisiting the core design...don't think they're gonna have much luck with this route.

[mental delta]

It also seems dumb lol, they like to take bad decisions

[river trench]

Yo is the hundreds changes for 1.0 good or nah?

[velvet sand]

I mean, they're basically playing Musical Chairs with vehicles rather than trying to identify and fix core problems.

[tribal cradle]

Most of them are good imo. Is it enough is another question.

[grizzled whale]

read them and find out

[arctic grove]

Another fucking bug that didnt need fixing. I liked the disco flickering

[tame vine]

Still no sign of server browser or persistent lobbies, DICE what are y'all doing smh my head 🤦🏻‍♀️

[mental delta]

Lmao new vehicles are helicopters but they reduced the amount of them you can play at the same time, what an intelligent move

[warped pulsar]

I'm glad the animations will finally look like the previous games, shows that they aren't permanently bad

[tribal cradle]

I don't play heli but they both look sick imo.

[river trench]

We gonna see tomorrow if it worth waiting months

[velvet sand]

I doubt this is ever happening, sadly. We're left at the mercy of RNG forever.

[velvet sand]

Hey, reducing combat vehicles is at least letting them put in some civilian transport finally since they have some budget for it. itssomething.jpg

[mental delta]

At this point they are flipping a coin to know what they should fix or not, this results in fixing which didn't need it and leaving behind other things which definitely needed an improvement, best strategy

[arctic grove]

It probably it tbh

[velvet sand]

Well, fixing it is probably 6+ months of development only on vehicles so they probably don't want to delay other content, lol.

[mental delta]

Lol yes we're gonna see more pick-ups which can destroyed with 1 grenade,but still no motorbikes

[tribal cradle]

As someone who played ALOT of Jungle Strike as a kid, it's nice to see the comanche make a rare appearance in a game

[warped pulsar]

They said that the new map is unique compared to the flat ones on release

[velvet sand]

RELEASE THE TUKTUKS

[forest spear]

https://twitter.com/_Tom_Henderson_/status/1533843618703745024

[arctic grove]

how is reducing the attack heli to 1 helpful in 128 AOW?

[forest spear]

L GAME

[mental delta]

Yes, they already worked 8 months to bring 3 new guns, it's really difficult

[velvet sand]

In line with expectations...if this is true it's pathetically hilarious.

oh lol, the followup tweet

[forest spear]

2 weapons in fucking 6 months man, i cba with this game if its true

[arctic grove]

No it more if u count portal guns lmao

[velvet sand]

Let's see if Tom's right or if we can make fun of him for being wrong yet again.

"if that specialist is morbius it'll make up for everything" TWITTER COMMENTS ARE ON POINT THO

[mental delta]

Yes why bringing up new weapons when you can just rework some which are already in the game and yet, make people think they are new too

[river trench]

2 weapons? Its fucking done at this point gg

[mental delta]

2 weapons... I was saying 3 weapons but I was joking

[warped pulsar]

rip new weapons

[forest spear]

even a vanguard season is better than this lol

[river trench]

Dude wtf is it literly 2 weapons? If i was working on the game alone i could put more

[forest spear]

lets hope its not true tho what tom said

[pine roost]

Okay, sorry but they've decided to reduce the number of attack air vehicles without addressing a single problem with the aircraft themselves

[mental delta]

Take your torches and your forks mates, we are going to Sweden for a courtesy visit

[hearty flame]

Gods I hope this is real. Let the salt flooooowwww

[river trench]

At this point then what was the 3 months delay for

[chilly oak]

💀

[velvet sand]

I only have sporks : (

[mental delta]

They neede time to make some coffee

[acoustic oar]

brutal expectations if you expected more 🙂

[river trench]

I cant believe it omg

[arctic grove]

Battlefield friends when they imitate swedish people tho. That part when they call on the patchworker.

[mental delta]

Take it anyway, we are going to conflict with them

[arctic grove]

Reddit moment

[mental delta]

Lol the patchworker what's that ?

[jolly gulch]

2 weapons bruh

[jovial quest]

[tranquil turtle]

🗿

Instances where C5 couldn't be detonated while in water will longer happen

[jolly gulch]

what did they do in 7 months?

[mental delta]

The whole reddit BF community whill laugh af when seeing the new update

[hearty flame]

If you expected more then you've got brutal expectations for a aaa studio

[arctic grove]

have you seen battlefield friends? Its the poor guy with the yellow hard hat fixing the game by himself.

[velvet sand]

Patch guy is the real MVP

[river trench]

Added 2 weapons thats alot man

[jolly gulch]

hard work in these days i see

[mental delta]

They were making fun of us lol

[grizzled whale]

they didnt add any weapons

[river trench]

Yo how ma new name

[pine roost]

alright, quick question, which air attack vehicle do you lot find to be the most annoying?

[grizzled whale]

just as unfunny as the last name

[mental delta]

Lmao that one only guy who doesn't know the industry yet and who is just an intern

[wide shore]

Hind

[river trench]

Huge L opinion

[last swift]

[mental delta]

It looks perfect mate, I love that energy and this dedication

[grizzled whale]

i wanted to be more like you

[tribal cradle]

🚨🚨 Gareth Bale is the new specialist 😱 seen here on Hourglass! 🚨 🚨

[pine roost]

that's transport, I'm asking about the attack section mostly

[still vault]

[arctic grove]

you think they will go 1 year 0 ships?

[river trench]

Where did u get this from

[tranquil turtle]

Shit bro what's his ability

[wide shore]

The Hind is better than every attack heli in the game. But I guess the Nightbird

[arctic grove]

If this is real than dice will be sponsored by Soccer

[mental delta]

Jets, and that's the first time that I find jets boring in a BF game

[arctic grove]

and Logitec

[velvet sand]

Football*

[tranquil turtle]

No one uses jets

They're so disappointing

[arctic grove]

Footsoc

[mental delta]

And why giving us useless new attack helis when they could just give us an A-10 warthog or some boats

[quiet shell]

Aw what? Why'd they change Dozers shield to not block tank shells any more

[river trench]

Jets useless af

[austere tendon]

football

[willow sky]

t1 jet users:

[wide shore]

That was changed like 6 months ago

[last swift]

idk, maybe wil will get a submarine soon

[arctic grove]

i know i know

[river trench]

W name

[pine roost]

I'm guessing the agms right?

[lean basin]

Where are the patchnotes for season 1??

[arctic grove]

A glitch where a boat can be used underwater

[mental delta]

Even a vacuum cleaner company wouldn't sponsor them lol

[river trench]

💀💀

[mental delta]

Agms ?

[arctic grove]

Logitec tho

every map i go... all i see is logitec

[tranquil turtle]

Jets have no quirk to them that make them require skill to use, it's just fly straight up then come back down and strafe

[pine roost]

for the reason why they are annoying

[mental delta]

Wait these fuckers make vacuum cleaner ?

[arctic grove]

No i was just say dice has sponsers

[mental delta]

Yes but what are agms ?

[warped pulsar]

They made updates to all maps in their lighting, audio, and visual effects. Sounds very nice to me.

[mental delta]

They also have a McArthur sponsor on Hourglass

[pine roost]

the air to ground missiles

[grave prism]

LOL 2 WEAPONS ????????????? 2 new weapons LOL!?

[mental delta]

No what is disturbing with jets is that they are unplayable on consoles, almost impossible to pilot unlike all other planes in any other BF games

[grave prism]

that is even worse than the minium i was expecting. 2 new weapons LOL

[river trench]

[mental delta]

I was just joking around these days about the fact they could bring us 3 weapons, I would have never thought I would be right...

[calm junco]

Thats probably counting or not that talks about moving Portal guns into All-Out

[shell ermine]

I didn't like the flying in BF3 or 4, but 1943, 1, and V all had excellent flying on consoles

[grave prism]

LOL its so great holy fk

[river trench]

Sheesh 2 weapons thats hella alot of weapons

[shell ermine]

Now we will have almost as many weapons as a single class in BF4

[next onyx]

We'll have to see what they do really.

[mental delta]

Jets were hard to use in BF3 and BF4 but pretty well balanced and really good when you could use them properly, in 2042 they are just shitty and unplayable

[grave prism]

it has taken dice 1 year to release 5% of content from any other dlc from a previous game 💀

[tranquil turtle]

Except that's a lazy fix

[mental delta]

Lmao one new weapon and a reworked one from portal ?

[velvet sand]

Give them a break, they had to finish core development first. We did buy an Early Access title from a small indie dev, after all.

[shell ermine]

Those guns should have been in AoW at launch imo

[next onyx]

To be fair you can re use content and brand it as new content since the masses haven't really used it.

[still vault]

2 guns are almost a 10% increase 😄

[grave prism]

LOL

[velvet sand]

I mean you can...but it's also incredibly dishonest : |

[next onyx]

We'll have to see what they do.

[elder patrol]

Oh no... I come ro check chat and al i see are people talking about 2 weapons

[next onyx]

Obviously we'll have brand new weapons.

[jolly gulch]

Na bro waste of money I wish I would have bought a pizza with that 100 dollars

[acoustic oar]

glad I was able to refund the game. Still no reason to buy hehe

[dapper berry]

that's what they did with BFV and now it's getting praised

[velvet sand]

Yeah, I'm just hoping Tom is wrong on the number of them.

[grave prism]

god thats good, fantastic. wow yeah

[still vault]

But now that they have the game in a state where they are ready to include new guns I would not be surprised that new guns are added faster than up until now.

[mental delta]

At this point I can't say if you are joking like all of us or if you are dead serious lol

[next onyx]

We'll see. Probably 2 brand new weapons or some shit.

I mean we'll have to see if it's dripfed too.

[arctic grove]

I think seasons 3 and 4 might implement more weapons at a time, although we can only watch and see

[silk surge]

Uhm apparentely youre able to lock into friendly vehicles at the start of the match, when did they add that??

[next onyx]

With this game and seeing how lenient its balancing is, We'll have to see how that goes.

You can?

[mental delta]

We'll still see fixes every 2 weeks however and we waited 8 months only for 2 guns

[next onyx]

Weird.

[tacit sphinx]

like 4.0 or something

[still vault]

"Keep them guessing" is an excellent plan on my part. Glad to see it working

[next onyx]

Yeah we've waited a long time for new guns, I hope midway through the season they re do two weapons from portal to add up.

[naive sandal]

sooo new update coming out tomorrow - "This Update includes hundreds of changes, bug fixes and Quality of Life improvements in preparation for the release of Season 1. Here are some of the highlights that you can expect in this Update." I initially HATED the game but i must admit it is getting better, albeit slowly AF (take a look at changelog).

[mental delta]

You knew everything huh, didn't you ?

[next onyx]

The AS VAL and the m60 would certainly add.

[topaz field]

STILL NO MANUAL LEAN IN THE PATCH NOTES!!!!

[next onyx]

Yeah I hate this game a lot at the start and very recently, Ever since Exodus conquest the game has been genuine fun.

[arctic grove]

By the way, who said 2 weapons and where did you get that information?

[next onyx]

Believe it or not.

Oops sorry I left the ping on.

[grizzled whale]

DONT NEED IT

[river trench]

Omg imagine having 10% new content

[mental delta]

We are finally at a point where we wish two more weapons from portal

[jolly gulch]

bro is just 2 guns lol

[shell ermine]

LMAO 2042 has 21 guns in total, the Assault class in BFV alone has 27 alone (16 excluding sidearms)

[next onyx]

Apparently tom henderson.

[topaz field]

Yes we do ....

[arctic grove]

Fellas its more than 2 if you count portal guns

[grave prism]

so is portal literally done ? are we getting nothing for that lmao. 1 new map and 2 new weapons LOL god it gets more funny everytime i write it and see 1 map and 2 weapons!

[grizzled whale]

we dont

[topaz field]

Why not it's very helpful

[shell ermine]

Portal guns aren't coming until "later"

[river trench]

So 2 weapons each season so we gonna get 8 WEAPONS FOR THE WHOLE NEXT YEAR 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[tranquil turtle]

Maybe by some miracle they'll add more weapons as the season goes on 🤷‍♂️

[frail sparrow]

PATCHNUMBER 1.0.0, what a fucking joke. pretending we've been early access testing this whoile time xD

[grizzled whale]

literally nobody knows

[arctic grove]

Yo, got a source?

[next onyx]

To be fair they did say they plan to add portal weapons. Something like the M60 and AS VAL would certainly do well to add.

[grizzled whale]

He doesnt, he just shitposts

[arctic grove]

2 for 1st season. Lets wait what we get for s2.

[next onyx]

Since they're unique and would add.

[warped pulsar]

Animations are gonna look better

[river trench]

Leaker leaked its just 2 weapons

[arctic grove]

Lmao he’s running with it hard too

[next onyx]

Yeah and apparent leaker leaked two weapons, We'll have to see how that goes.

[acoustic oar]

thats not new guns thats just recyling stuff from mode A to mode B

[grave prism]

8 weapons and 4 new maps in a year. LOL

[mental delta]

And 4 maps lol, but maybe season 3 and 4 will only receive rework of maps which are already in the game so they don't have to make new ones

[next onyx]

Reuse content and make it new for all.

[frail sparrow]

which onces

[tranquil turtle]

Both of those are cold war era guns. If they reskinned them or did some design changes to make them more futuristic it would be a good idea

[shell ermine]

Watch the new guns only be unlocked on the Battlepass, even if in the free tiers

[next onyx]

Not sure Jer.

[still vault]

https://tenor.com/view/dewey-duck-ducktales-ducktales2017-webby-vanderquack-ithaquack-gif-21609926

[next onyx]

Yeah something like an M60E5 or some shit.

With it's own tier 1 skin whew baby.

[arctic grove]

It’s even more limiting to gun count if we’re really gonna consider what era a gun was made in

[frail sparrow]

if it's 2 guns for 6 months time of work, it's so such a disgrace xd

[grave prism]

LOL yeah that, yeah i could see dice doing that LOL christ

[tranquil turtle]

Or an AMB-17 instead of an as val

[next onyx]

I think BF4 had an M60E4?

[tranquil turtle]

Yeah

[next onyx]

And that was in the 2020's.

So an E5 would do a bit.

[arctic grove]

Like I’m pretty sure there’s a modernized M60 but if you wanna be really technical the US Army NGSW will replace it lol

[shell ermine]

A gun is a gun, also the world is falling apart in 2042, resources are scarce. Kinda weird the No-Pats are all using brand new top of the line equipment

[river trench]

I wonder what is the 2 new guns

[mental delta]

I think you are like Darth Sidious, you know the entire plan because you made it from your own

[shell ermine]

Let me use the Garand in AoW

[arctic grove]

Well we’re talking about proxies from two superpowers here

[next onyx]

AS VAL on the other hand, Not sure what you can call it.

[tranquil turtle]

To be fair the scar is also in the game, which the army rejected a while ago

[next onyx]

Though it makes sense to re use tech.

[mental delta]

M1911 remake and a crossbow they said

[tranquil turtle]

A pistol? Bruhhh

[arctic grove]

It doesn’t matter what the army rejected

This game needs guns… not real world US army “they chose this so this shouldn’t be in the game”

[next onyx]

Apparently it seems.

[river trench]

Wait hol up didnt temporyal leaked about 7 weapons? How is it 2 now

[silver lantern]

Is there anything in terms of content?

[still vault]

I am not even sure I know what it is that you think I knew 😄

[arctic grove]

Realism exists pretty much nowhere else in this game let’s not start it where the game needs content the most to further limit our options

[shell ermine]

Those 7 are probably count all of the ones in development

[next onyx]

This game has the GVT 45, Lever actions are largely obsolete unless you can an actual reason to use it.

[river trench]

💀💀

[shell ermine]

DICE, being a small indie studio can only afford to work on 7 weapons

[next onyx]

You can balance the m60 uniquely too by giving it good range with lots of accuracy.

[mental delta]

BF2042 is only some diversion to make a more evil game which would bring war to the BF community, my point is : you are definitely a Sith Lord

[velvet sand]

I'm honestly super curious about them calling out netcode improvements for gunplay because that's been something a fair number of folks have complained about and consequently been shat on for being bad. Guess they were more right than folks gave them credit for, heh.

[arctic grove]

HLL was made by an indie studio correct?

[next onyx]

AS VAL is easy, Integrated suppressor means hey look, Stealth.

[mental delta]

No that's half the weapons they would make for the next BF game, the other part is for BF mobile

[bright wharf]

Zero Hour more like Zero Content lol

[arctic grove]

This is like 90% of the zero hour comment section rn lmao

[next onyx]

People don't really know what's coming huh.

[mental delta]

And zero respect for the community

[acoustic oar]

Zero player soon aswell 🙂

[velvet sand]

DICE are making the jokes easy if the leak is true, heh.

[next onyx]

No matter what people'll talk shit so it's nothing new.

[acoustic oar]

its well deserved if this leak is true

[silver lantern]

So any new weapons or maps

[arctic grove]

Y’all think MW2 is CoDs vengeance opportunity for 2016?

[next onyx]

Seen it since bf5 so lol.

[bright wharf]

Sure I appreciate the changes but there are literally employees who are paid to make new weapons and they came up with 2 after half a year. For a live service game.

[naive sandal]

take a look at full patch notes - lots of tweaks

[next onyx]

Honestly we'll see what the hell they do.

[bright wharf]

It's a huge blueballs slap

[silver lantern]

I hope it plays sort of like bf5 now

[arctic grove]

I’m bout to try it in a little bit to see that myself as far as the movement and animations go

Maybe not exactly like it. But a step towards it

[next onyx]

It plays a bit better but the maps for the large part are well, the worst part.

Yeah I'm looking forward to the changes.

[shell ermine]

War in the Pacific reveal trailer was hype as fuck... and DICE actually delivered on it.
https://youtu.be/eJplhMu-_2M

[next onyx]

Just need something to grind.

[velvet sand]

oh shit, you can now squad-up with AI in coop matches. That'll be nice to finally have some spawn points without needing to rely on the spawn beacon.

[clear hull]

one whole ass year for content...

after one year of reveal trailer

[arctic grove]

Technically by the time the games been out for a year the game will have already been in season 2

[clear hull]

yeah... that tells you something

[grave prism]

LOL is it really a pistol ? they should just cancel this game, go back to making stuff for 5 and battlefront 2 💀

[arctic grove]

It’s an improvised bomb

[low timber]

Pistol? Improvised bomb?

[naive sandal]

Battlefront 2 had a decent roadmap (https://www.ea.com/games/starwars/battlefront/star-wars-battlefront-2/roadmap). Same studio working on BF2042?

[copper fulcrum]

Psycho Mantis?

[acoustic oar]

I dont want these devs to touch bfv. They will break it. 🙂

[arctic grove]

Nah I’m screwing around

Persistence blindly listened to someone in here who said there’s only 2 new guns

And still hasn’t provided a source for the claim

[velvet sand]

oh, Apparently there's an active preview playtest of the new content now or something and it's plagued with DC's lol

[next onyx]

Think the team that did battlefront 2 were different sides of the same coin.

[patent path]

wow, the salt is high in here today

No update? Rage.
Update? Rage.

[next onyx]

Hasn't been this high since... I dunno since when cause it's always like this.

[naive sandal]

still play swbf2, it's super fun (although less "competitive")

[copper fulcrum]

'If the developer breathes, they deserve death threats' - someone probably

[next onyx]

Yeah I remember the beta for it. It was good fun.

[shell ermine]

SWBF2 was and is trash

[next onyx]

I loved the droids.

[naive sandal]

fairs. i enjoy it

[next onyx]

But that's because of the memes.

[patent path]

battlefront 2 is great

[next onyx]

The whole roger roger thing.

[copper fulcrum]

Hello there.

[mental delta]

2 weapons and 1 map are some kind of disrespect you know

[next onyx]

Though it's best to wait really.

To see what's there to unveil.

[shell ermine]

Gameplay sucks, they went halfway between the excellent arcade combat of the 2015 game and standard Battlefield combat so it felt awful.

Plus they punish you for playing as regular infantry, so much hero and special class spam

[velvet sand]

something something HOW DARE YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT FREE CONTENT something something

[pine roost]

Wait it says damaging vehicles causes an exp event, is that going to be a proper damage counter finally?

[next onyx]

For vehicles yeah.

[arctic grove]

I’d think that an entire battle pass (whatever it’s called) with only 2 new AOW guns just does not make sense lol

[pine roost]

ayyy

[next onyx]

I'm not sure about a soldier scoring system yet but we'll see.

[shell ermine]

Battlefront 2015 had this hipfire-centric mobility focused combat that was an almost perfect copy of the original games

[patent path]

it's a video game, guys.

[mental delta]

Yes sorry I only paid the game 90 bucks and waited 8 months for 2 guns

[shell ermine]

SWBF2 threw that away

[naive sandal]

it's supposed to be a team game - you shouldn't 1 v 1 a death trooper with regular infantry lol

[next onyx]

I do remember at bf5 most we got were 2 to 3 weapons per season.

[low timber]

It even says there that you get xp scoring event from claiming doors.

[next onyx]

So it's not like this is anything new.

OH YEAH MARSE.

[copper fulcrum]

No, people have to be angry at literally everything in life.

[next onyx]

Have you seen the metal detectors?

[mental delta]

We're all shitting one the amount of weapons and the unique map, but I wonder how shitty will be the batllepass cosmetics lmao

[next onyx]

On Kaleido?

[naive sandal]

but if you know what you are doing, you can destroy reinforcements and even heroes with regular infantry

[low timber]

Yes, and on orbital

[next onyx]

If you switch them to your side, Any enemy that passes by them will be 3d spotted.

[copper fulcrum]

They're on Orbital?

[arctic grove]

2-3 a season? Hm, makes sense then

So the rest of the Progression tiers were cosmetics right?

[next onyx]

Yeah.

[copper fulcrum]

Where?

[low timber]

Yeah on the rocket construction building

[next onyx]

We pretty much had the same on 5.

[copper fulcrum]

Point with your finger on the map

[low timber]

on the side tunnels

[arctic grove]

Then that gives me an uneasy feeling that the 6 guns temporyal datamined may be dripfed through the four seasons

[next onyx]

We'll see what happens really.

[arctic grove]

For sure for sure

[next onyx]

I remember for bf5 when we got the pacific update hey gave us four weapons for free.

Straight up.

"Here you go and level them up"

[low timber]

Way those metal detectors have always spotted with an red outline, unless you mean it was nerfed.

[next onyx]

I NEVER KNEW THIS.

I JUST LEARNED IT TODAY.

[copper fulcrum]

That was a mistake lol

[next onyx]

YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME.

[low timber]

[next onyx]

You're thinking of chapter 6.

They accidentally gave us the m2 carbine and model 37 at the start.

For chapter 5 that was on purpose.

[jade rock]

absolutely great game

[low timber]

Did you know there are more winches on Discarded than just the Colossus wall ones?

[next onyx]

Yes.

Throughout the map with the scattered debris.

Not debris even just... Parts.

[low timber]

Good, as Smaxx didn't and asked me why he died on a clip

[placid echo]

@next onyx

[next onyx]

That was 3 months ago, You thought I payed attention to the chat back then?

[placid echo]

You still don't

[low timber]

Meanwhile i've known almost since launch.

[mental delta]

This game is a joke in itself

[next onyx]

It's gotten a bit better at least.

Each update has improved my enjoyment.

[nova torrent]

like 5% better

better than nothing

[next onyx]

For me its round 20 to 40% better, It's becoming less of a lucky dip.

[nova torrent]

i just want a nerf to the jets

[next onyx]

The pool is getting larger and I'm hitting the ground less.

[patent path]

pc performance is still peepoo tho

[grave prism]

been laughing for the past 15 minutes at the 2 new weapons and 1 map. can't stop, had to take my reliver inhaler lmao. so so good, couldnt make it up, i love dice.

[nova torrent]

ok so play something else

[lofty nymph]

I LOVE DICE BATCHEST

[grave prism]

sunk cost fallacy aint it, i bought the fkin gold edition thinking there would be 3 new weapons and 2 maps 💀

[pine roost]

i'm interested to see that new rear cam placement

[river trench]

Dude 2 weapons is so much should be 1 or -5@grave prism

[next onyx]

I did a good thought in my head to bring back blood money in some shape or form.

[pine roost]

but it won't make much of a difference to their overall gameplay

[next onyx]

Ye.

[arctic grove]

same. i preordered it

[velvet sand]

https://twitter.com/L0SSY/status/1533842293333143553 eyyyy, DICE is keeping their general theming in terms of colors for their update key art

[grave prism]

yeah thats true they should remove all sniper rifles and the shotgun!

[patent path]

guys, literally a video game

[next onyx]

Will be honest, That was my first train of thought.

[nova torrent]

first world problems

[next onyx]

Call me an ass, But seeing that damn orange for 2 damn years I'm kinda sick of it.

Gimme a cold blue again...

It was cool at first but now I miss the blue!

[velvet sand]

BLUE AND ORANGE ARE THE PROPER COLORS FOR EVERY MAJOR VIDEOGAME RELEASE

[next onyx]

I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THE ORANGE AGAIN.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[river trench]

Prove?

[fringe bobcat]

Glad to see the updates are coming and hopefully season 1 to . Have they added any weapons or maybe put some of the portal weapons across ?

[next onyx]

We'll see about that Kips.

[last swift]

I`d like to see a BF1 portal trailer tomorrow

[grave prism]

they gonna cancel it after season 2 to make way for the teams to work on battlefield 6. orange curse 💀

[velvet sand]

https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/c_fit,f_auto,g_center,pg_1,q_60,w_645/mo4nbmemz9esajtdr0ap.jpg BLUE AND ORANGE

[next onyx]

So uh, You know how dice gave up on hazard zone? They could reuse content from there, Specifically the crashed satellites and Data drives to remake blood money. Carefully balancing it they could create a banger.

[river trench]

Ye you going to see the 2 weapons in the traoler tomorrow 💀💀💀💀😂

[naive sandal]

colours are BLEEDY AF on BF2042

[last swift]

🥲

[next onyx]

Have three satellites drop, The centremost having the most valuable drives and once your team accumulates what, 500 Terabytes worth of data? You win.

[arctic grove]

Haha he made the joke guys

[nova torrent]

bruh that eomt happen

[next onyx]

This was blood money, Accumulate 300 points from a centrepiece in the map to win the game.

[river trench]

U mad?

[arctic grove]

You seem like with your name 8 months 2 weapons

[river trench]

Who is happy with that

[arctic grove]

Go back to cod

[patent path]

at least this is not halo infinite lmao i regret paying for that game

[last swift]

Probably not

[lofty nymph]

MW2 reveal in 2 days

[arctic grove]

Didn’t ask

[nova torrent]

well one thing 2042 has done to me is given me more motivation to start my own game studio and make a better battlefield game than DICE

[arctic grove]

The comments are too brutal

[nova torrent]

absolutely not.

[mossy badge]

hyped

[velvet sand]

I wish you the best of luck. It's hard.

[lofty nymph]

Alot of cool games coming this year, cant wait

[nova torrent]

ive been thinking of ideas for years. Getting off the ground will be hard, but it wont be hard to beat the current rock bottom of quality

[arctic grove]

battlefield/battlefront/halo: How the mighty have fallen to live service and microtransactions

[nova torrent]

and cod

[grave prism]

there is nothing wrong with the live service model, they are just incompetent

[mossy badge]

lessss gooooo this summer game fest is going to be insane

[copper fulcrum]

and Rocket League in a way

[arctic grove]

But cod at least knows how to make a successful live service. if it wssnt for that, it be ass and vanguard is really ass.

[arctic grove]

Trashguard

[warped pulsar]

Destroy all humans 2 remake!

[arctic grove]

THIS. a classic remade with current gen graphics

[next onyx]

Not sure if this is better than smacking into a tree.

[arctic grove]

Peak battlefield 2042 moment

[next onyx]

I used to smack into trees and signs all the time in bf4.

[arctic grove]

I had a blast on those

[gleaming oracle]

Anybody got any idea what the 2 new weapons are?

[next onyx]

It's funny playing bf5 and having some beginner pilots on your tail so you fly through the trees and hope they fly into them.

No idea yet.

[arctic grove]

BRUH

he was rammed hard

[next onyx]

No one expects an F35 over the hill like that.

[arctic grove]

exactly

[gleaming oracle]

Slightly disappointed in the new content as opposed to what premium offered in bf3/4

[next onyx]

I liked how much content you got back then but at the same time it would eventually no longer be played since the majority of the playerbase wouldn't have it anymore.

[patent path]

but but but bf veterans foam at the mouth when premium was introduced

[next onyx]

And the people who had it would stop playing it.

[warped pulsar]

Plus metro and locker were the most played

[patent path]

locker 24/7 no shotgun no c4 no grenade no lmgs

[naive sandal]

"Resolved a broken hand animation after sprinting into a wall while holding a grenade" LMAO

[copper fulcrum]

Skill Issue

[patent path]

no fun allowed

[warped pulsar]

The admins ruined BF4 for me. They banned everything

[grizzled whale]

should have waited and grappled to the jet

[next onyx]

Admins would hate me for abusing the grenade launcher.

On the SCAR.

[gleaming oracle]

Really expected more weapons and maps for the money you have paid.

[shell ermine]

SWBF2 threw away the excellent gunplay of the 2015 Battlefront is what I was talking about

[patent path]

the year pass gets you 4 seasons though

[copper fulcrum]

Admins would hate me for abusing the grenade launcher.
FTFY

[warped pulsar]

We all are disappointed, I just hope this 1 map is well designed

[naive sandal]

but i actually think gunplay is miles ahead on swbf2 lol I have about 1000 hours on swbf1 and 400 hours on bf2

[grave prism]

this exactly why i have no problem with live service, if they could do more than a single map though that would be great, battlefield 5 drip feeding the maps wasnt great but the seasons or tides of war whatever they were called were not that long 💀

[solid imp]

https://youtu.be/nIS1_GQjCs0

[lapis oar]

I'm happy with any update, the patch notes look good and I've been enjoying the game

[gleaming oracle]

Sundance no longer got EMP grenade

[chilly oak]

as if 2015 gun play was way too fast, 2017 is more satisfying to kill and enough time to react

[naive sandal]

gun balance is also way better in swbf2 imo

[copper fulcrum]

That's fine, it was honestly too much better than the actual EMP Grenade

[chilly oak]

the 1.0 patch is good, s1 itself with the 2 weapons tho

[naive sandal]

i also like high time to kill

[solid imp]

This is good- I never use it and it adds too much spamming 3 to toggle between the two I want

[copper fulcrum]

I think I just heard a squeaky door open

[shell ermine]

2017 gave you an accuracy and spread debuff for hipfiring or moving while shooting. Anathema to what the Battlefront games were

[gleaming oracle]

Tbh I never used it anyway, all about the scatter and anti armor

[naive sandal]

you mean penalty by defuff?

[gleaming oracle]

👍

[copper fulcrum]

At one point it was good but EMPs now disable C5.

I would throw the EMP field at a tank and then rush it with C5

[shell ermine]

Yeah

[naive sandal]

i think that's a good thing tho

[solid imp]

LOLOL no I just forget to throw my headset mute on when I'm playing outside discord and I want to grab a clip. Geforce exp grabs all audio not just the game

[naive sandal]

but the penalty goes way too far in a game like bf2042

at least for certain gunss, spread is ridiculous when hipfiring at close range

[gleaming oracle]

Agree! Can't wait for Rush to come AOW

[shell ermine]

They made 2017 like every other shooter where you need to slow down and ADS to perform the best. The original two games and the 2015 game were arcade shooters by design, you were supposed to be mobile and "ADS"ing was for long range combat.

[grave prism]

emp on sundance was great, i got a few kills from it, many people did not use itwhich was sad, but you could just throw it in and it was like a fire grenade

[mental cave]

yall know if there's an opacity setting for the objective icons? theyre in the way like all the time

[copper fulcrum]

I really wish that you could specify a specific program to record audio from

[elder patrol]

2 weapons, hope 1 is the crossbow

[gleaming oracle]

Hoping for a new AR and LMG

[naive sandal]

don;t get me wrong, i definitely enjoyed the first game...but definitely prefer swbf2! still amazed by how good the jetpack mechanics are :-0 But to each their own

[warped pulsar]

I wish rush could have 64P, besides that it's gonna be cool

[acoustic oar]

second one is a melee weapon then 🙂

[radiant carbon]

Is the new update season one

[grizzled whale]

that moment when some dude SOMEHOW is able to hit 50mm cannon shots on infantry from FUCKING ORBIT

[hexed mango]

pog

[copper fulcrum]

Melee weapons aren't weapons, they're takedown cosmetics

[gleaming oracle]

64 player rush would be insane....personally would like squad rush from bf3 to return aswell

[naive sandal]

nope

[radiant carbon]

Bruh

[wanton tiger]

So S1 is now in july?

[copper fulcrum]

that moment when the moment happens at the moment

[naive sandal]

but season 1 prolly coming out on thursday lol

[mental cave]

im betting on a new pistol, an auto pistol probably

[elder patrol]

Ooh I hope it's the ntw 50's barrel

[warped pulsar]

I'm sure it's this week

[solid imp]

hear me out.. 50mm on transport aircraft would do splash on friendly+enemy 🙂

[naive sandal]

probably thrusday fingers crossed

[gleaming oracle]

Leaked for 9th June

[copper fulcrum]

The Angels are having a discussion

If I can get Angel to do the face of my current pfp, I'll change it immediately to that

[warped pulsar]

You guys think for S1 the EOR voice lines will be removed?

[radiant carbon]

Does anyone else have a big where when you shoot your aim lags

[grizzled whale]

jus tlove it when the enemy has 3 hinds in the air fucking bombaring everyone from low orbit

[copper fulcrum]

They're not being removed

[arctic grove]

Nope

[naive sandal]

the EOR voice lines should turn into emotes - would be ANNOYING AF lol

[elder patrol]

You know what to do

[still vault]

leeks are bad

[mental cave]

leeks are good for you

[solid imp]

Not using your leeks properly

[grizzled whale]

i tried spaghetti

[elder patrol]

Fuck

[mental cave]

eat your vegetables

[warped pulsar]

Rip, I guess they may change their tones than

[solid imp]

leeks will never change their tones

[gleaming oracle]

They are been reworked but not in time for S1

[warped pulsar]

Damn, than I hope for a new skin to make them look cooler than

[elder patrol]

Flying squirrel has no emp's now

[hidden sand]

2 weapons, rip

[lapis oar]

You guys reckon the new map will have a tornado?

[solid imp]

I hope it has a landslide

[gleaming oracle]

I wanna see what's in the Battle pass!

[warped pulsar]

Maybe a mud slide or something

[solid imp]

It's all based on a landslide opening up a hidden underground facility

[lapis oar]

That sounds a lot more interesting than every other map just having a tornado 🤣

[acoustic oar]

some weapon charms, specialists cards.....

[hidden sand]

I hope the animation improvements also include the first person animation system.

[warped pulsar]

I'm sure the new map has to be better than the launch maps

[fleet fjord]

[hidden sand]

It'll have more cover for sure, but how it plays we'll have to see.

[gleaming oracle]

Some launch maps also getting a rework...adding more cover

[elder patrol]

A pretty cool idea for a map would be to have the hazard zone debri just start crashing down throughout the map and destroy the surroundings

[warped pulsar]

I heard a dev say they are gonna add 1st person melee kills

[lapis oar]

The only map I don't like much is hourglass, the others are okay

[granite obsidian]

Lmao BF2042 is like one of the only major PS5 games without adaptive triggers on PS5 still 🤣 So immersive!

[gleaming oracle]

It's too open and takes an age to go from point to point

[hidden sand]

Do you know where?

[hexed mango]

update 1.0 is morbin

[warped pulsar]

It was a tweet months ago.

[lapis oar]

Agreed, the others just need a few more cover options but hourglass needs a lot more work

[copper fulcrum]

Ay yo, they addin' AI Tanks to Hazard Zone

[gleaming oracle]

Are the weapons from Portal not moving to AOW anytime soon?

[velvet sand]

Probably with the launch of S1 at this point, since the maps already moved over to AOW.

This also lets them claim more than 2 new weapons coming in S1 if they wanna be a bit shady.

[gleaming oracle]

Limted time for the maps tho ain't it?

[velvet sand]

For now. But 64p was a "limited time" mode too when it was added last year...now it's very much permanent, especially for breakthrough which they straight up kilt 128p

[hidden sand]

This explains those AI icons Temporyal found

[gleaming oracle]

I wouldn't mind that tho tbh....loved using the an94 m416 Aks as val in bf3

[hidden sand]

Was hopeful it meant we can use those outfits but thats extremely unlikely now

[hidden sand]

They absolutely will, they've done that type of thing before.

[arctic grove]

I hope so

[gleaming oracle]

True. Hope they do move all the modern portal weapons over will have a nice choice of AR to use then

[hidden sand]

If they redesign the Portal weapons that they add, and their attachments, I'd give them a pass on that though.

[gleaming oracle]

👍

[hidden sand]

But that's extremely unlikely.

[gleaming oracle]

They gotta also add the mastery progression to them all aswell

[brittle forge]

Yeah Portal weapons are extremely limited compared to base game weapons. Makes sense why, but it makes just dropping them in a tad lackluster if it is literally just a port with no adjustments

[fallen yarrow]

We have reduced the total number of Air Attack vehicles that can be active at any time to 1 per team 🤡
This change applies to both Conquest and Breakthrough, and is not active in Battlefield Portal modes, nor on the Classic era or Breakaway maps 🤡
The MV-38 Condor and the Mi-240 Super Hind are also not impacted by this change 🤡

[copper fulcrum]

Yes, read #game-news

[velvet sand]

TRANSPORTFIELD AHOY

[hidden sand]

I don't mean balancing though, I mean the actual model. I would not give them a pass for stat changes.

[night vessel]

Disco disco woop woop

[fair pilot]

Is anyone currently playing battlefield 2042 Warfare? I've been trying to for the past two days however it always says that 31 more people need to join in order to play (exactly 31 btw). What do I do?

[brittle forge]

Look I know air vehicles are kinda unbalance but just one per team for 128 player matches? No one’s going to be able to progress outside of bot matches lol

[hidden sand]

You can only have one air attack vehicle? What...?

[copper elk]

“BF 2042: Zero Hour. Stay tuned June 7th for a trailer that we’ll release next month”

[copper fulcrum]

Missiles from aircraft would sometimes loop around targets. They now head straight for them with unbridled rage
That's concerning

[copper elk]

Gameplay incoming est. 2022 sometime

[gleaming oracle]

I actually like this as an infantry only player....sick of getting demolished by the pro pilots

[fallen yarrow]

I'm guaranteeing they broke flares again with this change

[steady pewter]

update #1.0? nice we finally made it out of beta

[still vault]

In a good way

[brittle forge]

It’s just proof they need to go back to the BF4 system of specific vehicles to chose instead of “Air Attack” which covers the little bird, attack helicopter, and the jet

[pine roost]

how is aircraft balance so hard to understand

[fair pilot]

Anyone?

[copper fulcrum]

Added new AI Helicopter behaviors, including helicopter strafe runs
Ah yes, finally. They'll learn to use the fucking guns on the Nightbird

[hidden sand]

That's not proper balancing lol. There should be able to be at least one of each attack vehicle, with at least 2 maximum per team.

[lofty nymph]

How many new guns are we getting?

[waxen turret]

2

[gleaming oracle]

2

[brittle forge]

The stealth jet, attack heli, and light heli all sharing that spot is just so stupid

[lofty nymph]

BF2042 really suffered from lack of weapon variety

[mental delta]

Spaghetti

[lofty nymph]

Only 2?thats kinda low... No?

[waxen turret]

yup

[pine roost]

This is the only bf game where I can play 10 matches and not meet another pilot

[waxen turret]

This is just how it works out sometimes

[mental delta]

It suffers from lack of everything but yeah the lack of weapons is definitelt the most problematic one

[next onyx]

It's fine that the scout heli is in the attack slot, It's used like one anyways.

But the jet is a different story.

[austere owl]

💀

[next onyx]

By the way it feels like at the present moment, Grenade launchers do not affect ADS time.

[brittle forge]

I agree if we were able to get more than one per team but you’re never going to see certain vehicles

[next onyx]

And if they did. It's by only one frame.

[copper elk]

What difference does it make how many guns the game has when BF 2042 is the definitive AC-42 and M5A3 simulator?

[pine roost]

ya'll remember when there were 4 aircraft for a team of 32?

[hidden sand]

I cannot believe they thought it was a good idea to just reduce the number of air attack vehicles.

[brittle forge]

The bf4 system was better in this regard, all I’m saying

[lofty nymph]

After I got my 2 main guns to tier 1 I stopped playing, legit in dec 2021

[mental delta]

Lol that will end up in people all spamming the selecting vehicles button to play the new helis, they are dumb af

[elder patrol]

Spaghetti

[copper elk]

Oh wait. I forgot. The PKP-BP is also God Tier. The Sniper LMG

[mental delta]

I played yesterday, maps from portal are cool, everything else is bullshit

[waxen turret]

agree

[mental delta]

Fuck I got spaghettied again

[brittle forge]

I’m 90% sure the M-16A3 is literally the M5 with a model swap

[gleaming oracle]

NOT ME I'm a run and gun kinda person

[lofty nymph]

Im only playing 2042 stuff. Lets see if one map and 2 guns can bring the playerbase back

[brittle forge]

Like the portal weapons aren’t that well designed so if they’re just ported it over as is without polishing that will be kind of disappointing

[copper elk]

Just now figuring that out? Hehe. Definitely an AR-15 platform for sure

[grizzled whale]

bro i just hate playing vehicles lately

[gleaming oracle]

No chance

[mental delta]

I liked to play nightbirds, I'll never be able to play them again it's good to know 👍

[lofty nymph]

Prob not

[grizzled whale]

you cant do ANYTHING, without being locked on from 47 sides, hacked by 20 people, getting EMP'ed 238619826 times per minute

[brittle forge]

No I’m not talking IRL, i’m talking in-game stats and data, like they share animations and damage dropoff

[soft swallow]

Probally they will be 2 weapons but we don't know that for sure

[next onyx]

Ac42 and m5 simulator wut? SCAR and the Ak exists too.

The SCAR is one of the best weapons in the game and it seems like not many people actually know that.

[gleaming oracle]

An infantry only map would be very much welcomed

[next onyx]

Definitely.

[naive sandal]

yeah more like k30 simulator

[mental delta]

They'll still complain after that about how "their great efforts failed to rebuild a large playerbase due to players who are never happy"

[hidden sand]

It's like theyre trying to outright remove attack vehicles lol (Which will also cause more people sitting in the spawn menu to get it)
Only one air attack vehicle per team now
Tanks and the wildcat are useless

GG DICE

[waxen turret]

why they dont just put every portal weapon in the main game as wel... more variaty is more fun

[brittle forge]

The Scar’s recoil got really fucked up in some patch, maybe it was mouse input but it didn’t feel right

[gleaming oracle]

Love me the SFar

[copper elk]

The SCAR gets outgunned by the AC-42
And PKP on every level

[next onyx]

Oh yeah the k30 is ridiculous too. 5hk 20m range lol.

SCAR can so easily outgun those guns at a range.

[forest snow]

why are there a lot off people saying season 1 might off been delayed again?

[copper elk]

My 5.3 K/D in the game stats say otherwise

[real crown]

game even alive anymore or hype for the update?

[next onyx]

They removed the update time from the patch screen.

LMAO.

[brittle forge]

My attempts to control the Scar’s horizontal recoil just don’t work sometimes. It’s really annoying

[next onyx]

Do you sit in vehicles too?

[waxen turret]

where

[next onyx]

Cause that's one way to boost your K/d.

[hidden sand]

Pretty sure it's just people making fun of DICEs usual delays, not that it actually will be

[forest snow]

and that is the only reason people are freaking out?

[copper elk]

Feel free to check my stats

[next onyx]

I've got it pinned in pins.

[gleaming oracle]

The SCAR is an absolute beast!

[next onyx]

The SCAR is easily amazing.

[lofty nymph]

How can you even dare to talk about kda in a game that is perma filled with bots 💀

[next onyx]

M5 is the best close range assault rifle but the SCAR just beams at a range.

[forest snow]

yea i feel for DICE at this point they are trying in a bad situation

[foggy halo]

I hope the update won't break the game

[gleaming oracle]

Just wish it had its proper name 🤣

[next onyx]

Yeah I wonder that too GLU.

[carmine dawn]

Please be good. Please be good.

[foggy halo]

the game has improved quite a bit recently, and I don't want it to ruin the experience

[brittle forge]

I liked the AK the most but I haven’t played since they removed the single fire mode

[copper elk]

I was ranked 3rd in the world for headshot percentage, which means I’ve got a pretty decent understanding of what weapons are meta and not. SCAR is mid at best.

[velvet sand]

Half the excitement about updates is the anticipation of all the hilarious bugs and new broken things that will come with it.

[naive sandal]

i did some testing recently - single fire mode rate is pretty much the same on all AR guns i think - so possibly easier to kill with SCAR at range considering it needs less bullets to kill (5 instead of 6/7)

[mental delta]

It got buffed and it's now shitty af

[foggy halo]

cursed battlefield 2042 players

[lofty nymph]

For the first 20 mins after release?

[next onyx]

Yeah alright. I'm stuck in OCE against tryhards in comparison to someone who can comfortably farm bots in America.

[brittle forge]

The shotgun changes make me think they’re gonna be more broken than they already are. If you hip fire, the 870 MCS is basically a sniper rifle

[hidden sand]

This confirms everything Tom said about content creators having issues with the game atm. It's definitely why they removed the time.

[copper elk]

Check my stats. I think I’m still 6th

[lofty nymph]

Are you on PC?

[next onyx]

I don't think farming people in the U.S and having a good K/d truly means anything.

[copper elk]

Yes. I’m on PC

Origin is the same

[velvet sand]

Guess they found more bugs that they didn't find in their internal test environments. This is actually good that press and content creators are beta testing the update for us...but probably not good for DICE since they want to give that crowd the most polished experience they can lol

[foggy halo]

did you just called americans bots?

[waxen turret]

Season 1;

• 1 Specialist
• 2 Helicopters
• 2 Weapons
• 1 Map

Zero Hour needs rebranding to Zero Content.

[lofty nymph]

All good, headshot percentage means nothing to me since Im a vehicle abuser

[whole plume]

Jesus fuck what is happening wheres angel

[next onyx]

No copypastas.

[mental delta]

No don't say that, it's a love letter to the fans

[brittle forge]

“Bro check my stats bro, I’m an actual god at the game bro”

[whole plume]

Crabmen tell em to stfu

[lofty nymph]

I was reading that

[tender pendant]

Rule 5: Do not post content that is: political, abusive, threatening, defamatory, racial, sexual, religious, edgy, baiting, relates to suicide or is otherwise objectionable/offensive.

[waxen turret]

Btw i thought they would add a new map to portal as well with each season or am i wrong?

[forest snow]

lol

[mental delta]

Yes but what is stfu ?

[hidden sand]

I think it's matchmaking issues, can't recall for sure though.

[lofty nymph]

💀

[next onyx]

Not necessarily, Just a larger region means you're less likely to find people of your skill level.

[forest snow]

Content plans scaled back maybe?

[whole plume]

Stfu means shut the fuck up😂

We getting portal content

[waxen turret]

pffff

[mental delta]

Do you still have the screenshot of the m4 discussion, it could be one of the two weapons of the season 1

[whole plume]

Yes I do

[waxen turret]

u sure?>

[mental delta]

Lol why you want them to stfu and woh are they ?

[arctic grove]

Yes

[arctic grove]

I hope so angel. Portal is the best feature of the game.

[hidden sand]

If they had Portal content they would have boasted about it in that update roadmap. We're not getting anything. Technically new tools can be called content, as well.

[mental delta]

Lmao great because I'll be able to talk shit about that game forever

[elder patrol]

Knock knock

[copper elk]

Dang. I fell to 13th in the world. Oh well.

[mental delta]

Who's here ?

[foggy halo]

what? if Australia needs 5 servers for 500 people, and 50 of them are good, you'll find them occasionally
if USA needs 500 servers for 5000 people, and 500 of them are good, you'll also find them occasionally

[arctic grove]

If this is true then fuck you dice

[copper elk]

Haven’t played in a while either

[elder patrol]

Ma

[mental delta]

Joe mama

[waxen turret]

Yeah, exactly this... why there is no info about new portal content 😡

[elder patrol]

Mama Mia mofuka

[brittle forge]

There might not be any to be quite honest

[waxen turret]

yes so again scammed

[next onyx]

Will admit that is true though I swear. I go to west coast (Only ones I can join and get 180 ping) and everyone's so easy to kill, Here in OCE there's at least a squad that requires some damn thought.

[arctic grove]

To be completely honest North-american servers are easier than South-American servers imo

[next onyx]

Wait no i confuse west and east.

I join east coast.

[copper elk]

I prefer semi auto myself. The horizontal and vertical recoil on the AC-42 is absolutely superior to the SCAR in every regard

[simple merlin]

Soo wait season 1 will be in july?

[copper elk]

Which makes it more efficient at any range over the SCaR

[whole plume]

@mental delta if the m4 comes I'm making that mf out instantly

[mental delta]

"Making that mf out" ? What does that mean lol

[dapper berry]

he's gonna make out with it

[whole plume]

Maxing* my bad

[mental delta]

Yeah yeah spaghetti and pizza essentially for me too

[copper fulcrum]

He's gonna kiss the barrel aggressively

[brittle forge]

I like that they’re just now adding in savior and avenger kill bonuses. This game was so rushed lol

Oh and melee bonuses

[mental delta]

Lol me too, I'll play that weapon till season 2 comes out

[brittle forge]

Like I’m glad these changes are happening but reading this patch is just proof this game really needed another fucking year at least

[waxen turret]

more and more people are talking about a delay?

[patent path]

nobody is talking about a delay?

[next onyx]

March would have been a good month to release it to.

[brittle forge]

No I’m not talking about a season delay I’m just mad the original game was not delayed given what they’re still patching basic shit in this game

[naive sandal]

bipod

[copper elk]

By the time you go in the prone position, you're already dead.

When will people understand the SCAR is decent, but the AC-42 in Semi-Auto mode is superior in every way.

[mental delta]

That's because of Angle, he plans to delay it again

[brittle forge]

Angel does it again

[patent path]

ac42 in burst is also pretty nut

[mental delta]

This is always this mf's fault

[brittle forge]

McKay and Boris have better beards so the atmosphere is fixed now

[copper elk]

Yeah, 3-round burst mode can be excellent at close to mid range if you can land all burst rounds

[next onyx]

I see big boys using semi auto AC42 but it's just as easy beaming them with the SCAR.

From a range of course.

I can understand the use but it's not like the SCAR can't beat.

[brittle forge]

is the gvt 45-70 still busted

[velvet sand]

AC42 semi is my peanut butter and jelly

[next onyx]

It's pretty much a worse off bolt action.

I love cheesing the grenade launcher on the SCAR.

[brittle forge]

I thought it was bugged and was a constant one shot kill or something though

[next onyx]

I thought it was snuck in without anyone being told.

But with everything else being buffed that was pretty nice.

[gleaming oracle]

AC is bonkers but I see more SCARS now

[mental delta]

"The most important amount of content you've ever seen in a BF game each season"
Proceeds to release 2 weapons each season

[copper elk]

Most guns in the game have a decent balance though. The only gun that truly needs addressing in this next update is the fucking PKP-BP. That thing is the pure definition of: "I suck at BF 2042, and can't get kills otherwise."

[pine crag]

in short
guys, are we fucked?

[brittle forge]

The dmr7’s spread is a bit weird too

[still vault]

4 seasons of post-launch content was promised so not really no.

[next onyx]

I thought everyone would be maining the SCAR since it's OCE.

[gleaming oracle]

I don't really see many pkp after last update

[simple merlin]

Bruh wait only 2 attack heli per team now in conquest? 😂 😂 😂

[next onyx]

But it's actually really diverse.

it's really weird.

[copper elk]

I'm a fan though. I like it as a DMR the most personally. DMR's are hit and miss. Literally, lol

[brittle forge]

1 per team actually

[next onyx]

Yeah the PKP isn't as common as you might think.

I might give it a go to get to tier 1 with the tactical compensator but I don't like the handling of MG's.

[simple merlin]

Meant 1 yea. Dammm

[next onyx]

But when you get going you can't stop firing and ohhhh does it feel good.

[hidden sand]

If they had another year they would have lacked every bit of feedback they've gotten. It would have been stable, but likely even worse in terms of gameplay.

[simple merlin]

Im sooo close to tier 1 pkp

[next onyx]

I'm glad I got tier 1 LCMG.

That gun is a lot of fun to work with.

[gleaming oracle]

Got it to tier 1 when it was the meta not used it since

[next onyx]

I want to experiment high calibre with long barrel after the changes to make a super beamy MG.

[hidden sand]

I got tier 1 pkp with that zombie mode they had a while back lol

[brittle forge]

I mean they pretty much got the feedback they’re getting now from the beta they just shoved it out. They may have been out of their hands, but still

[next onyx]

Yeah I always stuck with the AK24 and now I found a gun I can comfortably use.

[forest snow]

all the guns in the game are easy to use just gotta know how to set them up

[gleaming oracle]

Really wanna get the LCMG to tier 1 but I really can't get to grips with it

[hidden sand]

Less of a want for tier 1 and more of "can I get it before they fix this?" Type of thing

[forest snow]

some are better with hardly any attachments

[brittle forge]

Obviously the beta feedback was less specific but the same overall points of “vehicles over powered, map too big, specialists cringe” were still there

[naive sandal]

as a trigger happy person, i love the single fire mode on the ac42 lol Even got a few 300-400 m kills with it (bipod is a must at these ranges)

[next onyx]

Since they've improved the values of weapons with no attachments, If you use a suppressor the recoil won't be so bad.

[hidden sand]

Snipers are unintentionally horrible to use because of the broken aim assist, on consoles at least

[patent path]

reaching 10 seasons is not impossible, considering the player count is still high atm

[next onyx]

Oh yeah I love how you can give the vector a bipod.

I'm not joking, Hang on.

[patent path]

yeah lmao I just noticed that earlier

that's 2k on steam only

most battlefield players buy the game through origin

[velvet sand]

Historically, because that's the only place you could buy it. Likely shifted to Steam now since that's the dominant PC platform by far nowadays.

[naive sandal]

doing well with dxr1 on ps5 but i wish projectile velocity was faster considering the fast random movements in this game

[hidden sand]

I can't find full matches on ps4 with crossplay anymore, personally. They're either half full or below.

[brittle forge]

Careful now you’re gonna get a ton of msgs about those numbers aren’t accurate cause it’s just Steam. Which is true to an extent, but the trends are probably the same

[next onyx]

It's so goofy.

[naive sandal]

lol#

[patent path]

it takes me literally 3 seconds to find a full lobby on pc in europe

[next onyx]

I can find a match quite easily in OCE too.

On PC.

[brittle forge]

I’m agreeing with you I’m just saying

[brittle forge]

I can find a full server on Battlefield 4 instantly, it doesn’t mean there’s a lot of people playing it

[gleaming oracle]

Player count is defo down on PS takes an age to find a full server

[brittle forge]

Do you have cross play on

[gleaming oracle]

Yes

[silk jasper]

1 Map, singular. 😭😭😭😭

[brittle forge]

Oof

[gleaming oracle]

I play the ps4 version fuck that playing against mouse and keyboard on ps5 version

[hidden sand]

If DICE have accomplished one thing with this first season, It's that it will be the shortest wait from trailer to release lol (If its not delayed because of the matchmaking issues)

[silk jasper]

Tell me that a multibillion dollar company has a skeleton crew working on a game without actually telling me there is a skeleton crew working on the game.

[naive sandal]

i tried playing the ps4 version on ps5 and i must say ps4 version looks crappy - aiming also feels weird for some reason + scope shooting animation is kinda slo mo

[brittle forge]

To be fair I remember some games that were announced on E3 that were on sale the same day. People would pull “and it’s available…right now” like they just hit the slam dunk

[white geyser]

tomorrow is the update trailer, however IDK about this I'm kind of half convince though

[patent path]

the ps4 version is an abomination that should never have existed

[gleaming oracle]

If they take out PC from cross play I'd play the ps5 version

[hidden sand]

I'm just talking about DLC from BF games. Usually it's a week or two wait from trailer to release.

[velvet sand]

Yet it does because DICE/EA wanted that money from the last-gen install base.

[naive sandal]

it's not that bad, give it a try - im actually doing quite well against pc players

[gleaming oracle]

You say that but the ps5 version is slowly becoming the ps4 version apart from graphics

[brittle forge]

They shouldn’t have made a version for last GEN consoles that’s so gimped. they did it for BF three and 4 and it was a mistake then too.

[naive sandal]

what exactly do you mean?

apparently ps5 beta version had better graphics

[gleaming oracle]

Started at 128 players now going to 64

[hidden sand]

The odd thing about the last gen version, is that the current gen version looks worse than BFV on last gen. How is that even possible? Why does the last gen version not look better in that case?

[tame cobalt]

June 9th hype

[gleaming oracle]

Conquest will be next to drop to 64

[velvet sand]

I'm gonna laugh so hard if they eventually do that, and wouldn't even be surprised.

[tame cobalt]

[naive sandal]

i've heard the game is cpu intensive

[silk jasper]

Does S1 come with any bug fixes/optimization or is it purely content

[gleaming oracle]

A lot of people prefer the 64 over 128

[brittle forge]

Apparently EA wants to sell itself, which is really concerning

[tame cobalt]

tomorrow patch is bug fixes

Thursday is content

[naive sandal]

we getting bug fixes and optimisation prior to season 1, tomorrow

[patent path]

nobody can buy EA lol

[hidden sand]

64 conquest is horrible on these maps though, even worse than the 128 versions

[dapper berry]

yeah it's pretty unanimous

[tame cobalt]

yeah

[naive sandal]

i actually prefer the 128 p mode and maps...

[silk jasper]

They should drop 128 player maps all together for the foreseeable future and only work on 64 player maps (if they even continue on)

[velvet sand]

Bruh, EA has a smaller market cap than Activision and Microsoft is trying to snap them up for a cool $68B

[silk jasper]

Thx

[brittle forge]

128 players was not designed very well but 64 players was even more half-assed on these maps

[patent path]

and then go bankrupt?

[gleaming oracle]

64 player rush would be epic

[tame cobalt]

that's the kind of decision that should be made 2 years before release. It's too late now

[velvet sand]

Microsoft has trillions man, and EA's market cap is about half of what Activisions is.

[naive sandal]

but if this eventually happens, doubt thi would be a ps5-specific change, more likely a universal one (probably not happening tho

[hidden sand]

I am willing to bet money they chose the layouts, playtested, and then finalized the 64 player versions in a week.

[brittle forge]

It’s just stupid, it would’ve been a cool progression for the franchise if it actually had been handled properly but now for every future game they’re going to think “oh the players didn’t like it” when the design was ass

[naive sandal]

they should make the game free to play or give it a massive discount soon to increase player count 😛

[scenic tartan]

64 player is better and some redditors making shit up isn't going to change my mind

[gleaming oracle]

They do that then you have the ps4 version

[velvet sand]

remember when breakthrough had capture points on top of buildings? Still 100% convinced those maps were never playtested with those capture points.

[brittle forge]

Ok, see ya later

[patent path]

They don't have trillions, 60 billions is roughly what microsoft makes in a year in total. It's literally impossible for any company to buy EA

[hidden sand]

IIRC it was 32v32 player playtests with bots filling in the rest, which would partially explain the bad design

Or was it 16v16, can't remember for sure

[velvet sand]

Again, EA is worth half as much as Activision is. EA is very purchasable.

[patent path]

uh no

[scenic tartan]

Fuck microsoft

[brittle forge]

What’s funny is it actually would’ve worked if the Call in system hadn’t been a thing

[hidden sand]

But still it's just blatantly bad design, that shouldn't have made it to release. At the same time though, starkiller base exists in SWBF2.

[gleaming oracle]

They removed the capture point altogether instead of just moving it to the other building

[velvet sand]

Naw, even without vehicles camping the rooftops it was still busted given how easily defended those points were. It was easily possible to 100% shut down any assault and most matches ended with the defenders winning on that point every bloody time.

[hidden sand]

Most of the level designers from swbf2 came over iirc, which REALLY explains the poor level design

[naive sandal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX5rjTramis

[brittle forge]

I thought they all quit lmao

[hidden sand]

While swbf2 is a decent game, it has hands down some of the worst maps DICE has ever put in their games

[lofty nymph]

16 more months guys, next BF soonTM

[brittle forge]

I don’t know if I even want a new one unless they make some serious changes internally

[gleaming oracle]

Give me BF3 Remastered and I'm happy

[velvet sand]

Man I should watch S2. It's not a good show, but the actors are fun.
