battlefield-2042

[naive sandal]

s2 is significantly better imo

[velvet sand]

That's good to know, guess I'll have to bump that up on my watchlist.

[scenic tartan]

The rooftop objectives were awesome and they weren't given enough time for people to figure them out.

With better spawns and no vehicle spawns 200m above ground level it would have been fine

[brittle forge]

Agreed tbh

[noble scaffold]

so is tbis update season one? will it include new content?

[hidden sand]

Starkiller base has an objective that's below the defense team. Guess who has a lower level advantage? Guess who has no flanking routes to help with retaking the objective with a chokepoint being the only way to get back to it?

[brittle forge]

2 weapons a specialist, and one map, yes.

[hidden sand]

When I played that map for the first time in a while, I realized why 2042s maps are so bad

[arctic grove]

Wait

[next onyx]

2042's maps were made with the intent of looks rather than gameplay. It's what you'd see in an actual city sure but it's in the middle of an actual battle.

[noble scaffold]

splendid, thank you.

[next onyx]

I was jsut thinking of Kaleido haha.

[brittle forge]

I didn’t think battlefront two’s maps were that bad to be honest it was definitely a mixed bag but Geneosis and Kashyyyk were pretty good

[next onyx]

But you know what I mean.

[arctic grove]

So is S1 starting tomorrow?

[next onyx]

Not sure.

We have a trailer tomorrow.

But that's about it.

[arctic grove]

Oh

[craggy sail]

hope they don't disapoint once again

[next onyx]

It's kinda funny playing Caspian border and Noshahr canals and getting cheeky little spots.

[arctic grove]

Then what's the update tomorrow

[next onyx]

There's almost no wasted space.

We'll have to see.

[copper fulcrum]

This.
https://x.ea.com/73799

[brittle forge]

Preseason balance changes and bug fixes

[craggy sail]

sadly they at a critical point now for playerbase..\

i hope they make it

[silk jasper]

Any patch notes for tomorrow

[next onyx]

It was at its critical point a few months ago.

Yeah we do.

The link that was shared is them,

[brittle forge]

Literally just posted a couple of messages up

[next onyx]

But also in the pinned messages.

[craggy sail]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-2042-update-notes-1-0?utm_campaign=bf2042_hd_ww_ic_socd_twt_battlefield2042update1-0-0web&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&cid=73799&ts=1654538722250&isLocalized=true

[arctic grove]

So like a pre-update to the season?

[brittle forge]

Yes

[arctic grove]

Ok

[hidden sand]

I really hope the animation improvements also refer to the first person animation system, but I doubt it

[forest snow]

mean surely the content is in the patch just unlocks when season 1 starts?

[brittle forge]

I hope the hit registration is much improved that was one of my biggest problems

[solar moss]

is anybody actually reinstalling for this update?

[brittle forge]

i never uninstalled. Probably should have but I have the space so I didn’t care

[next onyx]

Yeah most likely Ranger.

Content launching when the Season launches, Pretty standard.

[solar moss]

i uninstalled in december and dont really plan to reinstall considering Hell Let Loose is slightly less badly maintained, though not by a huge margin

[brittle forge]

Do we know what the weapons are?

[next onyx]

No.

We don't really have an idea what's being released.

[brittle forge]

Officially I mean I know there’s like some leak I’m sure

[forest snow]

lmg and sidearm im calling it

[hidden sand]

I don't see why they'd not make the season start tomorrow then if there's just an arbitrary lock on it but go off ig

[midnight karma]

what is the best gun in the game

[brittle forge]

I can see them waiting for the weekly reset

[patent path]

last minute testing I'd assume

[velvet sand]

I'd laugh so hard if one of the two weapons is a sidearm. I mean...definitely need more sidearms, but they're far from the priority : |

[next onyx]

The pp29 is the most consistent still but it's nowhere near as powerful as it was at launch.

If you want to give it a try, Use the SCAR.

[naive sandal]

haven't played galactic assault on SKB in a while, you mean the initial search and destroy objectives or capture points just outside the base? if i remember well, these first objectives aren't that hard considering there's ample cover. also, there's a secret (or rather, not well known) flanking route to initial capture points 😛

[next onyx]

it's a very powerful weapon at a range.

[midnight karma]

ok thanks

[next onyx]

With it's 4 hit kill extending out to 75 metres.

It's pretty much what the STG 44 from bf5 wanted to be, An actual good rifle lol.

[midnight karma]

k

[hidden sand]

Still sad about the stg44 being nerfed to how it is now

It's a poor mans ribeyrolles now

[arctic grove]

Imo they could’ve atleast added a option to knock a building into the the other one

[gleaming oracle]

Oh the ribeyrolles in BF1 was a beast

[next onyx]

STG 44 was never nerfed.

[arctic grove]

That way infantry can go up to the objectives besides the dumb elevators

[next onyx]

It's just been shit straight up since launch.

[hidden sand]

? No the stg44 was great originally

[next onyx]

It was only good then because everyone was figuring out the meta.

[craggy marten]

I wonder if the XP events will be more akin to BF4, that game had a shit ton of those compared to 2042.

[next onyx]

it's been the same all the way dude.

[hidden sand]

Wtf are you sure

[next onyx]

Yep.

[craggy marten]

No

[next onyx]

Unless you're talking about the 6.2 which added another damage increment past 50 metres turning it into a 7 bullet kill.

But even so.

[craggy marten]

I wasn't there when BFV was getting shit on.

[next onyx]

It's pretty much the same.

[patent path]

indie dev team DICE

[hidden sand]

Ah yeah you're right, damn
Well it should have been improved in that case smh my head DICE

[arctic grove]

Def

Idk how they’re gonna do season one especially how the internet would react since yk most of their fan base left this one

[hidden sand]

Lol no there is absolutely plenty of documentation on it, that makes no sense. Learning an engine doesn't take that long and absolutely was not the issue behind this game.
It was having to rebuild basic features because this current version (Supposedly) didn't natively support them.

[next onyx]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/840006062575976468/983436763458576394/Screenshot_20220606-112624_Twitter.jpg

BAHAHAH YES.

[whole plume]

I want a demon engine powered buggie has to have 1900hp with two 50mm on the top

[next onyx]

BE REAL.

PLEASE BE REAL.

[hidden sand]

Rip lol

[patent path]

great now bring back santa boris

[next onyx]

And we have ourself a deal.

[hidden sand]

That's actually disappointing if it's real

[velvet sand]

Man, if this is true DICE is really focusing in on the "tone and feeling" for the game.

[forest snow]

annnddd thats 2042 dead

[patent path]

Santa Boris was taken away unjustly

[velvet sand]

I'm both cringing out of existence at the idea of that pack and also absolutely love it.

[next onyx]

It'll probably be something not too stand out.

[craggy marten]

Oh boy oh man, I can't wait to sew Angry Joe go on a Genocidal spree after seeing that.

[arctic grove]

Tbh I just want more maps

[hidden sand]

I have no problems with anime being in other games that aren't even trying to be anime, but this absolutely crushes any hope of this games tone recovering if it is true

[next onyx]

Same. I hope the rework of the maps just simply makes it more fun.

[whole plume]

Nah I want a 50 mm shotgun tbh

[copper fulcrum]

I imagine Anime will keep getting stronger from this point forward and the apocalypse would just fuel more anime production

What the fuck did I just write?

[next onyx]

Because I find myself avoiding hourglass more often.

[patent path]

People still watch that lunatic Angry Joe?

[arctic grove]

But I don’t have a prob wit that idea

[craggy marten]

Yes.

[patent path]

Yikes

[forest snow]

no one wants stupid anime in battlefield we want maps, guns and military skins. if you want to play as cartoons go play fortnite

[copper fulcrum]

Now watch our 10 minute scripted fight against Corporate Commander complete with jokes we've told 37,000 times already on this channel.

[hidden sand]

If they need to go to things like that, their art team is just not interested in making cosmetics in the first place. There is so much you could do that keeps in line with a theme of a game like BF1, even.

[patent path]

it's honestly tiresome

[craggy marten]

Angry Joe gonna end up being the next shooter of 2022 if he see that shit I swear to god.

[tender folio]

this chat room is gonna be fun tomorrow.

[velvet sand]

can we not, it's not even remotely funny (like, objectively, it's unfunny)

[copper fulcrum]

Leatherface, Jigsaw

[craggy marten]

Objectively on your end many people would find that funny.

[naive sandal]

ideally teams should have different uniforms imo, which makes it way easier to distinguish between teammates and enemies

[arctic grove]

Lol don’t care season 1 dogshit this game ass dice gone give up😂

[next onyx]

I thought joe was actually pretty funny originally but he's just boring right now.

[hidden sand]

Eh, while I'm not an avid player of COD something about wacky cosmetics being in it makes sense. That's probably purely because of my more outside view on the series though.

[arctic grove]

Prob gonna be like that

[copper fulcrum]

Angry Joe chases a comedy trend that died in 2012

[next onyx]

Let me dress up in goofy outfits or whatever the hell I want.

[craggy marten]

Did I say that it was objective for everyone?

[next onyx]

Don't need other people dictating what I want to do lol.

[dapper berry]

he's right though, it's a joke in bad taste but some people would find it funny

[tender folio]

drama about this game is more fun than the game itself.

[copper fulcrum]

You will wear the Japanese School Swimsuit outfit and you will fucking love it.

[hidden sand]

I mean, yeah, you can want that. But like, consistency in tone is important with a game like battlefield lol.

[arctic grove]

I just want more maps with destruction and large destruction and improvements to the gunplay

[craggy marten]

I wasn't even the one that brought objectivity up, you would know this if you know how to scroll up a few messages.

[arctic grove]

And ofc new guns

[copper fulcrum]

Tone isn't important in games, especially Multiplayer ones

[dapper berry]

Tone was important in titanfall 2

[copper fulcrum]

Bring on the neon pink zebra camos or whatever

[arctic grove]

The story in 2042 makes it hard

[pine roost]

oh god don't give me flashbacks

[hidden sand]

Art direction and tone is absolutely important in games lol. Part of BF1s success is how good the art direction was.

[next onyx]

And that's true though bf5 had its mix of goofy cosmetics and tactical cosmetics.

[craggy marten]

It isn't important but it adds more to it especially if it doesn't have a story mode.

[naive sandal]

i actually died a few times because i wrongly assumed someone was my teammate facepalm

[next onyx]

You could be cursed and be in a ghillie suit with shorts.

Does that make sense? No.

But should I be able to do it? Yes.

[copper fulcrum]

Ghillie Suit Bottom, Medieval Armor and coat for the top and a Cowboy Hat

[next onyx]

Don't make me pull out dragon spirit U.S pilot with shorts.

[patent path]

Goofy costumes work if done well. Santa Boris was nice af, but people were foaming at the mouth when it was leaked

[copper fulcrum]

Don't forget the Dragon Spirit Facepaint

[arctic grove]

Yea if they made the maps we have alr feel more apocalyptic then I can dig it cuz the lore for this game makes it sounds like these are war zones and u saw how destroyed kaleidoscope was in the trailer

[low timber]

Remember back during BFV some people on Reddit were threatening to not revive people with the Mikasa elite? Next they’ll go looking what gun skin you have then

[forest snow]

rightly so

[copper fulcrum]

Bro, I've had some teammates stare at my T1 Sundance for like 3 seconds before reviving me and then say in chat "How the fuck you got that so fast?"

[patent path]

can' have fun in video game anymore

[hidden sand]

Yeah I think I'm just going to have to accept the appreciation for proper art direction in DICE is completely lost now lol
Some games need a consistent style that doesn't derail the work put into other elements of it

[copper fulcrum]

Fun isn't allowed in video games, if you add something that's too fun it gets shouted at

The only games that can be creative have to have a comic art style

[hidden sand]

You may not value immersive art direction, but it's been something BF has tried to have consistently up until BFV.

[next onyx]

"Oh my god it's purple! Don't revive because... They like different things(?)"

[hidden sand]

I don't see why reducing criticism of wacky cosmetics to people not wanting fun is any bit helpful.

[patent path]

Racist emblem in bf4 is okay but funny goofy santa man isn't

[copper fulcrum]

You also got the Peacekeeper elitists acting very mighty because they recorded morse code and sent it to some people over a different discord server to translate it for them

[velvet sand]

or both are bad too, wild idea, I know

[next onyx]

https://i.redd.it/mm0tv8viin651.png

[hidden sand]

Absolutely agreed.

[copper fulcrum]

He's at the park, waiting for a kid to walk by

[next onyx]

https://i.redd.it/z3a5fnie3cx41.jpg

https://i.redd.it/p6ogxd6jo1e51.png

Bf5 had tonnes of weird shit.

[low timber]

Looks like a detective, with face paint.

[next onyx]

Just no one paid attention because they didn't get in the way.

And this "weeb" bundle will probably do the same.

[copper fulcrum]

You can totally make that outfit worse. Give it the Trench Raider(?) headgear

[arctic grove]

Bf5 did cosmetics right

[next onyx]

I tried a lot of things out, That's the one that ended the best.

[low timber]

Where are your pants?

[hidden sand]

One of the most important elements of cosmetics though is a consistent color palette. Which is one of the reasons why the wackier combos didn't stick out too much.

[forest snow]

may just have to target anyone using that anime skin in game all game

[arctic grove]

Sir it’s hot

[midnight karma]

what is the best stock

[next onyx]

It's not like you're gonna know what it is unless you're close up.

[low timber]

Well that’s true, Way is hot

[next onyx]

And even so you'll be looking at the person not the gun.

o.o

ACTUALLY THAT REMINDS ME.

[copper fulcrum]

Temperature wise, it is Australia after all

[frosty mural]

Honestly, I thought season 1 launching June 16th, surprised gameplay video coming out tomorrow and season one starting June 9th

[tame cobalt]

Season 1 hype

[hidden sand]

Odd to me that wanting a consistent art direction has become "people not wanting fun" in a series that's tried to be immersive for nearly 20 years lol

[copper fulcrum]

Speaking of Australia. Way why are you up at 4:43 AM?

[next onyx]

People were running the damn Christmas outfits in the pacific and because of the heatwave and bushfires that was going on around the time I couldn't stop cringing since I was imagining how hot they'd be in that.

[arctic grove]

I just hope they still make more militaristic skins in the game while having this stuff

[next onyx]

Literally cosmetics do not bother me one bit but that got me.

Yeah dude that's what they did with 5.

[low timber]

What about the burning firestorm outfits?

[patent path]

ew

[next onyx]

They had the goofier holiday skins and an equal share of serious outfits.

Those outfits don't get me as much.

Man I miss my burned jacket.

[arctic grove]

True

[next onyx]

That's my favourite torso piece in the game straight up.

Lemme share my serious british soldier.

[arctic grove]

Have they said anything new abt the new map coming or no?

[patent path]

they better be adding morbius skin or imma morb

[next onyx]

Exposure? Nah.

[hidden sand]

They absolutely wont. Or at least, not till season 2. One of the biggest design philosophies with this game was to follow Apexs footsteps.

[velvet sand]

Finally, Battlefield can become the Overwatch it always wanted to be.

[copper fulcrum]

Too bad the best skins in BFV were limited time only, like Wild Eagle, Sturmwulf, Commando, Jungle Viper.

You can't get any one of those now

[next onyx]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/177094649473794049/893159143140130846/1-10-2021_12-57-07_AM-oh41upzq.png

Bf5 had some amazing cosmetics.

[shell ermine]

Who fucking cares?

[next onyx]

I mean it makes more sense on an assault to protect you from the fumes.

[copper fulcrum]

I am gonna say no just to upset you.

[hidden sand]

Would you like a gasmask with your 4 other gasmasks?

[next onyx]

But yeah there was more intimidation with the gasmask, Plus berete.

I wish we got the british tanker headgear since it was a berete with headphones.

Would go well with recon.

[copper fulcrum]

Look up the Wild Eagle skin, best skin for the Americans to have

[next onyx]

That's a good skin yeah.

[frail sparrow]

don't have to, i got it ❤️

[next onyx]

But I had to build around it.

I actually like my American support.

[mossy badge]

I hope they will bring mara back in mw2 tooo

[frail sparrow]

then ask him on a date! 😮

[next onyx]

Shuddap!

[arctic grove]

I liked the multicam skin in the pacific expansion

[copper fulcrum]

Tetsu No Ame is just an Anime Protagonist skin

[next onyx]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/177094649473794049/847037486009679882/25-05-2021_4-57-47_PM-2priaojn.png

There he is.

Yeah I use the full set of Tatsu no ame because I love the whole set.

[low timber]

M’lady

[copper fulcrum]

An American killed an Australian for the Slouch hat

[next onyx]

LOL.

[copper fulcrum]

Everything is either tight or baggy

[hidden sand]

I use the bf1 austro hungarian scout as my scouts in BFV lol

[next onyx]

Oh talking about oversized clothing I need to find my giant hoodie.

[hidden sand]

His irl model is in BFV as well, so thought I might as well

Kinda helps make it feel more like BF1 too even if I don't see em regularly

[next onyx]

For a while I used the American Ghillie suit for my support cause bush wookie.

I also unintentionally recreated the 1943 Japanese recon when they released the ghillie suit for them.

[hidden sand]

Oh damn yeah you absolutely can recreate him lol

[copper fulcrum]

Should've included a topless torso for the Americans 🥴

[low timber]

There is a tank top

[copper fulcrum]

Not good enough

[next onyx]

I had Jer DM me about it and I was confused.

[frail sparrow]

what?

[copper fulcrum]

Jer was just fucking waiting in the rafters for his name to appear

[hidden sand]

1943 was fun even if very un-batteflield like, speaking of that

[copper fulcrum]

Third time's the charm, right?

[low timber]

First 1942, then 1944

[hidden sand]

Too much caffeine today lol

[shell ermine]

1943 was the most Battlefield-like game we had on 7th gen consoles until BF3 launched

[hidden sand]

Nah BC2 was definitely more battlefield, 1943 actually simplified things even more so

[low timber]

I’ve already had 5 cups of coffee, let’s go - McKay

[frail sparrow]

my name gives license to pounce into chat

[copper fulcrum]

Canadians fucking love Coffee, I know that.

[shell ermine]

The maps were far better than any of the Conquest maps in BC1 or BC2 (and a lot of BF3 honestly).

[low timber]

So do Finns

[next onyx]

Remember when I recreated the 1943 Japanese recon and you said I did so but I had no idea about it?

[copper fulcrum]

Had a Canadian trucker come round my area all the time. Every fucking time I saw him he was drinking coffee

[hidden sand]

Ah I meant in the games design entirety, not just the maps

[tame cobalt]

1 new map and 2 guns... Yeah, this isn't gonna be enough to revive the game. And this was the game's one "second chance". RIP :(

[next onyx]

Bad co 2 and bf3 maps play so damn well.

[frail sparrow]

ooh that, yeah. i member. i was reading bit about topless americans, so i was kinda confused what i DM'd you

[next onyx]

Close games on them are so much fun.

BAHAHA.

[arctic grove]

I think the only reason tho why I’m playing 2042 is bc I burnt myself out on the other BF games

[next onyx]

Same.

[low timber]

You know what I realized two days ago? The BC2 maps are missing the doors that can be broken with melee.

[hidden sand]

I feel like only BC2 rush maps play that well, conquest was generally really bad in that game
They were full sized 64 player maps without the 64 players, for some reason

[next onyx]

I have 2700 hours on bf5 and I'm so done with that game.

[shell ermine]

Consoles got gimped BF3 maps for the most part. I think Caspian Border and Wake Island (after backlash to the initial 3 flag version) are the only maps that were exactly the same as the PC versions.

[next onyx]

I don't want to discredit it but I'm so fucking done with that game.

[arctic grove]

I maxed out everything that I wanted in bf4 bf1 bf5 and hardline

[next onyx]

I loved the SCAR H on hardline.

First 100 star weapon there.

[hidden sand]

I have legitimately no clue how in the world people manage to get over 600 hours in a game, damn my guy lol

[arctic grove]

Nice

[low timber]

PS3/X360 Caspian we’re only 4 flags

[next onyx]

I don't how I did suika.

[limber goblet]

New update soon.... Will it fix last gen input lag?

[next onyx]

I just played and played and played.

[arctic grove]

Meanwhile me as a destiny 2 player

[next onyx]

How the fuck did I even hit 500 first.

I don't even have the willpower to do it today.

[limber goblet]

Same LOL

[next onyx]

I guess I used up all my willpower to deal with games playing bf5 all the fucking way through.

[shell ermine]

I used to hit numbers like that when I was in school and college.

[hidden sand]

This makes even less sense LOL

[arctic grove]

U think 2042 should’ve had a campaign

[next onyx]

You could say I really did enjoy the game since I had set challenges for myself but now that I've done them all I don't need to anymore.

[shell ermine]

Must've put 2000 hours into Star Wars Battlefront II on the PS2 online back in high school

[next onyx]

Honestly I'm not concerned about a campaign at all.

[wide knot]

No language selection on patch notes?

[next onyx]

I like them since you can earn collectables but otherwise meh.

[shell ermine]

Now I average around 300 hours for the life of a MP game if I really like it.

[hidden sand]

People are just using the lack of one as a poor way to criticize the game. BF has never been about the campaign and imo, never should be.

[next onyx]

The biggest milestone was hitting 50K kills for my FG42 with a 2 KPM in my career and that gun.

[arctic grove]

Tho 2042 doesn’t have that large destruction tho it does have some good weather

[hidden sand]

MP-18 in BF1 is my highest weapon in any BF game iirc

[arctic grove]

Speaking of weather does breakaway have snow storms now?

[next onyx]

Before the FG42 it was the SCAR H on BFH where I have 4500 to 5000 kills.

[patent path]

Battlefield Vietnam remake EA please

[arctic grove]

Dice did say no campaign to focus on multiplayer lmao

[next onyx]

Uhhhh....

No.

[arctic grove]

The french chautchat tho

[shell ermine]

Actually my most played MP game of the last 10 years is Fallout 76. Have about 1200s hours currently, but that's kinda cheating since it's only as much of a MP game as you want it to be.

[next onyx]

I would love a battlefield vietnam with an IMI Galil.

if they add an ACE Galil into this game that'd be the second gun I main.

[hidden sand]

Sure, and that would be proper criticism. But just pointing out the lack of one is odd.

[copper fulcrum]

@next onyx I worry about your sleep schedule

[next onyx]

It's been like this for a decade it's normal.

[arctic grove]

True true

[next onyx]

I don't really care really.

[radiant flint]

hi

[low timber]

Why just Vietnam and not a whole Cold War theme? Like in BO1

[patent path]

It wasn't used in the vn war tho. At the moment the vietnamese army supposedly adopted the ACE but they siphoned all the money so now the soldiers are still using akm clones

[arctic grove]

Plus isn’t Vietnam like gone in 2042

[patent path]

I want a battlefield vietnam remake, not adding vietnam to 2042 lol

[radiant flint]

Wdym

[hidden sand]

Ye it was 2,117
Highest kill count with a weapon in any BF I believe

[arctic grove]

oh my b

[arctic grove]

Lots of country’s and states collapsed in 2042 in the lore apparently

[patent path]

yup, china gone

[radiant flint]

Honestly this is what we should get. Some like late 1800's battlefield, Korea, Vietnam, Cold War, Afghanistan and war on terror

[arctic grove]

London being one of them

[radiant flint]

Germany is still there :)

[shell ermine]

I want Kharg Island to come back. I enjoyed that map

[scenic tartan]

I cant believe that DICE refuses to make changes to the 50mm cannon on the transports

[radiant flint]

And NATO. :)

[hidden sand]

I am willing to bet money this was done as an excuse to not add new factions lol

[patent path]

or you know, could just be a world building thing

[radiant flint]

We should get a NATO faction

[dapper berry]

yet we still fight for US or RU

[radiant flint]

Is there a BF2042 lore website

[arctic grove]

Theirs lore on the official website

[patent path]

not yet, considering they only promised a lore, but haven't delivered

[hidden sand]

I mean yeah, it still is, but that's my tinfoil hat theory lol.

[next onyx]

Maybe so but because of how battlefield works, They can add anything for the sake of gameplay.

[radiant flint]

Where?

[dapper berry]

By the way I mean IMI for vietnam, ACE for this game.

[arctic grove]

I think where they used to do the lil documentaries Rao did

[next onyx]

People are losing their minds on reddit huh.

Tell me something that's new.

[patent path]

You are implying redditors have a mind of their own

[arctic grove]

Well no duh it’s anime and not shark teeth

[next onyx]

Yeah that's true.

[silk surge]

Im travelling to Finland tomorrow. Hopefully the trailer doesnt drop while im on the plane

There's an amusing thread of weapons from other games and IRL guns with weeb skins, yes. Nobody quite losing their minds yet but I'm sure that's to come.

[low timber]

Welcome

[arctic grove]

I want shark teeth on the osprey…

[next onyx]

Honestly would love a megaladon skin pack like the one they had in 5.

[arctic grove]

👆

[next onyx]

Black and yellow with mini blades everywhere.

That was a good bundle and I enjoyed running.

[radiant flint]

whats gonna be in season 1?

[patent path]

I want solid color skins like in rainbow 6 siege

[next onyx]

One part, A specialist and by the footage we've seen, A new helicopter.

Solid colours are just as good.

[radiant flint]

do you have to pay for it..?

[next onyx]

I hope we get something like that.

No.

[silk surge]

Two new stealth helis

[radiant flint]

oo

[next onyx]

I'm saying by the footage we have seen.

I'm just working off with what has been shown, Not with has been leaked.

I hope you understand.

[patent path]

the trailer is out tomorrow, just wait a bit lol

[low timber]

On the footage it looked like the new specialist had a similar shroom hat as that one R6S operator that had the torch to cut down those reinforced metal walls

[next onyx]

But yeah, Everyone will have a free battle pass that'll go for 30 tiers which will have gameplay elements tied to it.

[gleaming oracle]

How long are the seasons lasting?

[midnight karma]

what is the best mode

[shell ermine]

I've noticed that most (all?) of the original DLC maps from BF3 and 4 are kinda forgotten about when people ask for remakes/Portal content.

[next onyx]

I'm not sure, Maybe 12 weeks.

[velvet sand]

3 months (roughly)

[next onyx]

Exodus Conquest / Breakthrough.

[gleaming oracle]

👍

[midnight karma]

ok

[fallen yarrow]

I'd like to see some Aftermath maps

[gleaming oracle]

They can add new stuff during seasons?

[low timber]

Oh, the free pass is only 30 tiers? Thought it was going to be 100 free tiers and 100 paid tiers

[hidden sand]

Premium pretty much kills DLC maps a week or two after they launch, so I'm not surprised.
Close Quarters maps haven't been forgotten though.

[next onyx]

I'm so sorry.

[arctic grove]

I accidentally purchased the deluxe edition in Nov so Ig I get free content for a nearly ded game yaaaaay….

[patent path]

they can do whatever they want really

[gleaming oracle]

Weapons and or maps

[next onyx]

100 for premium which will just have cosmetics that I've heard.

Or maybe part of the main pass that sort of thing.

[arctic grove]

That’s a lot of cosmetics

[shell ermine]

I barely remember the Endgame BF3 maps

[radiant flint]

I would like to have a new pistol honestly

[low timber]

Yeah, but I thought it would’ve been 200 tiers, 100 free and 100 paid.

[patent path]

i want an actual dog skin for the robot dog

[arctic grove]

But what abt some new guns or maps

[hidden sand]

BF4s DLC maps are far better than the base ones and it pains me that most people suggest Siege of Shanghai when they suggest ones lol.

[radiant flint]

Like a updated markorov or 1911

[next onyx]

If I can get my m1911 back I'll be happy.

But an assault rifle would be cool too.

[radiant flint]

YES YES YES YES YES YESSS

[low timber]

Most likely we’ll get the M45A3

[arctic grove]

M2911

[gleaming oracle]

The free tiers are where the weapons and vehicles are?

[velvet sand]

leaks/datamining say 1 map and 2 guns (new) plus 1 specialist and 2 vehicles. We have no datamining for Portal content, so take this all with grains of salt.

[patent path]

yes

[hidden sand]

Damn, I just realized that one of the 2 weapons absolutely could be a side-arm, rip.

[next onyx]

Yeah basically psycho.

[arctic grove]

Alr

Maybe AA will come back or boats

[next onyx]

Only just learned about the M45a3, It's the last generation m1911 they'll ever produce.

[radiant flint]

It would be cool to see the 1911 to serve a hundred years and make it the 2011 or something

[patent path]

Good.

[gleaming oracle]

Well if you gotta use a helicopter to unlock a helicopter I be fucked

[next onyx]

1942's m1911 in portal is kinda beefy.

[radiant flint]

When i get a firearm, its gonna be a 1911

[hidden sand]

Same, helos on last gen are such a bad experience

[next onyx]

It'll probably just be part of a level up pass thing.

[low timber]

BF3 Portal 1911 is even beefier

[patent path]

BF5's 1911 is still shit

[next onyx]

No challenges tied to it.

[radiant flint]

It just resembles history so much.

[gleaming oracle]

I just don't use vehicles at all

[next onyx]

No hardlines was beefier!

[radiant flint]

If a game that is 1911+ and doesnt have a M1911, it sucks.

[low timber]

Pics

[next onyx]

To be fair you can have interesting pistols without having the m1911.

Uhhh.

[copper fulcrum]

MP-28

[radiant flint]

(Or an M45)

[next onyx]

Would you believe I got my m1911 gold on hardline?

[low timber]

Yes

[next onyx]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/battlefield/images/e/ed/BFHL_1911-1.png/revision/latest?cb=20201009040233

[radiant flint]

Anything is possible with the 1911

[velvet sand]

The year is 2342: The 1911 is still in service and the standard issue sidearm for all soldiers.

[shell ermine]

Remember the hype over the community designing the Operation Outbreak map for BF4 and then it launches and its incredibly lackluster?

[fair pilot]

I need some help. A couple days ago, I re-installed Battlefield 2042 after basically launch or so. I am currently in a whole different region from where I live when I installed it. The problem is that every time I try to find a 128 player match (massive scale warfare mode), it says "looking for 31 more players to join until you can play". *keep in mind that it always says "31". This probably means that it's a empty lobby/server. (Region - GMT)

Is there a fix for this or is it because I'm in a complete different region?

[next onyx]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/battlefield/images/e/e0/BFHL_1911-4.png/revision/latest?cb=20201009040233

[hidden sand]

BF4s alpha gloves were far superior

[patent path]

Asking the bf community to do anything is already a failure from the start

[next onyx]

What region are you light.

[radiant flint]

We should be able to get weapon xp from portal

[fair pilot]

GMT

[velvet sand]

Yet they give us Portal all the same, lol.

[radiant flint]

Is there still a zombie mode on portal that gives you xp

[patent path]

yeah that's a great feature given to a bunch of redditors

[white geyser]

IDK why it’s called zero hour update, probably they couldn’t come up a better name

[cunning breach]

@radiant flint theres a gilburt mode

[next onyx]

Yeah GMT doesn't help sorry.

[radiant flint]

wdym

[cunning breach]

never asi a mann what is gilburt

[velvet sand]

Man, is this like, the opposite thing of the haters coming into to post "LOL DAED GAEM"? Just shitposting about reddit at any and every opportunity even if nobody else brings reddit up?

[low timber]

Those Portal BF3 M1911 irons are massive Way

[patent path]

Hating reddit is my job

[gleaming oracle]

GMT is UK

[arctic grove]

If anything 2042 is popular by how much hate is getting

[radiant flint]

can we get weapon xp in portal please

[cunning breach]

ok nova corporation member 🤢

[patent path]

[fair pilot]

So.. Is it because I'm in a different region or my game is broken?

[next onyx]

If you're in the UK, EU, US or OCE you should have a pretty alright chance of finding a game.

[patent path]

https://tenor.com/view/morbius-im-about-to-morb-its-morbin-time-morbius-sweep-marvel-gif-25782014

[gleaming oracle]

I have to wait abit to get a full game and I'm in UK 🇬🇧

On PS5

[arctic grove]

Bruh they got Steve Aoki in the new cod trailer💀💀

[fair pilot]

I'm only visiting the region I'm at. Going back to the US soon. So you're saying the game isn't broken but it's because of the region? Even though it's 3:19 PM EST time?

[velvet sand]

Wasting money on random celebrities is the CoD way. I think BF stopped doing that when they had Snoop Dog playing BF1 really, really, really badly at that event one time lol.

[patent path]

lmao I remember that

[arctic grove]

Tbh I don’t mind it

[next onyx]

I have no idea what region you're in but if crossplay is on and you cna't find matches you are in a dead region. Or your gamemode is not being played.

[arctic grove]

Hell I remember the ice cube Codcaster pack in ghost

[velvet sand]

Honestly, I'd much rather the money spent on celebrities go towards development to begin with, but marketing departments need to justify massive budgets somehow.

[arctic grove]

True true

We don’t want another 2042 launch lmao

[fair pilot]

how do I make sure crossplay is on?

[copper fulcrum]

Go to the main menu, go to settings and it should be the first option there or at least the first page

[next onyx]

Should be on general settings.

[fair pilot]

Yeah it's on

[gleaming oracle]

I don't like this crossplay shit...pc should not be allowed to play against console

[patent path]

why not

[fair pilot]

So what you're saying is that it's not my game but (hopefully) the region?

[arctic grove]

Tbh pc players don’t feel different

But in cod holy crap they are good

[gleaming oracle]

You can always tell a pc player when you face one aim is flawless

Too much of an advantage

[white geyser]

I played pc players on cod mw 2019 and I did manage to kill pc players

[pine roost]

don't then

[velvet sand]

I'm glad that I'm holding it down for the bad PC players then, because my aim is definitely not flawless. I'M BRINGNIG DOWN THE AVERAGE

[pine roost]

just disable crossplay

[arctic grove]

Exactly

[dapper berry]

there are good pc players, but there are also absolute shit pc players

[velvet sand]

You're welcome, console players forced to play with cross-play.

[next onyx]

Apparently I'm doing well for someone who's been on PC for two months.

[pine roost]

nah, surely not?

[gleaming oracle]

I play the ps4 version for this reason

[hidden sand]

Operation Outbreak should have been them giving the community access to a level editor. We would have gotten way more interesting results.

[next onyx]

There should be console only crossplay, Easily.

[arctic grove]

Yea cuz u have god aim or whtevr ppl are calling

[next onyx]

Nah thing is, It isn't even that good but I somehow get by.

But hey I'll take it.

Now we go sleep cause it's 5AM.

[hidden sand]

Because BF is less about aim and more about good game sense

[gleaming oracle]

A mouse and keyboard are far more responsive than a controller

[fair pilot]

It's because you die before you can even shoot

[hidden sand]

My mouse feels horrible, albeit I don't have a gaming one
Being precise is pretty difficult

[arctic grove]

I tell u what I’m never pre ordering a deluxe edition again💀

[white geyser]

The next battlefield game, crossplay only for consoles not with pc

[gleaming oracle]

Whoever thought it was a good idea to allow that bullshit needs sacking on the spot 🤣

[pine roost]

so does console have the option to not play against pc? i'm a lil confused

I swear it was Way who at launch figured out a way to

[hidden sand]

They do, but then it's only your console you can play with. It doesn't switch to Xbox V PS

[gleaming oracle]

Yes but if crossplay turned off you limited to what console you are playing on

[pine roost]

ahh, gotya

[gleaming oracle]

So I play ps4 version with crossplay that way it's ps v xb

[pine roost]

yeah that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Consoles should just be able to play with each other if they desire

[arctic grove]

Bruh Beavis and butt head are getting a movie

[hidden sand]

Console only crossplay should be default with all platform crossplay as an optional thing

[gleaming oracle]

That would be the smart thing to do

[pine roost]

But since the console playerbase is most likely larger than the pc playerbase I doubt it would make much of a difference

I can see why for when you'd want to play with friends on another console though

[white geyser]

That’s why I never like playing pc players, I know pc players can hack the game, that should banned them

[gleaming oracle]

It's the whole mouse and keyboard thing against a controller and the fact pc frame rates are much higher

[pine roost]

Well I don't want to play against controller players either so we are even

[vivid nacelle]

legalised aim assist

[fallen yarrow]

Yeah me neither, their aim assist is borderline aimbot now

[gleaming oracle]

The aim assist is whack

Doesn't work correctly

[white geyser]

Better tell DICE the next battlefield game, should be crossplay only for consoles

[fallen yarrow]

I don't know, all these low level boris players are beaming me across the map without missing a shot.

[shell ermine]

PC players have better accuracy at longer distances so crossplay plus these trash maps extend engagement distances beyond what controller players can be reasonably expected to perform in.

[gleaming oracle]

That would be the sentry gun

[fallen yarrow]

No, it's always the SVK or some LMG

Die in 2 frames

And it's not like they're good players, because they're bottom 10 on the scoreboard going 7-12. So I doubt they're actually skilled at aiming

[next onyx]

It is much easier to aim on pc but I've found to be a bit more flexible on controller.

[ripe hedge]

How so?

[next onyx]

A good aim on these games is massive no matter what.

Cause if you're good enough. You can one hit kill someone with flechettes on the 880 mcs 40m away.

[pine roost]

i thought you were going to say something revolving around tracking but that works too i guess

[next onyx]

There's a large slow down box that isn't gradual and as such its really easy to over shoot.

[soft dagger]

I'd really like to have the ability to disable crossplay with console players who use aim assist, so that only those who dont use it 'll be in the same matchmaking as me

[fallen yarrow]

@ripe hedge since you're here...I have 2 questions: 1) How did such massive weapon changes make it into the game without ANY communication? 2) What was the logic behind buffing bullet velocity for DMRs in update 1.0?

[next onyx]

I'm not Alex but it's easy to assume that they're underperforming at a range.

From the data.

[shell ermine]

If you have slowdown turned on the game will often push your reticule off of an enemy player. Also if there isn't going to be any way to discriminate via input there should be some minor tracking aiming assist added imo.

[velvet sand]

DMR's as a whole needed something to make them more attractive, hopefully the projectile speed increase helps. Bit confused as to why LMG's got the projectile increase as well since they already felt strong, even at longer engagements.

[gleaming oracle]

So you have an even bigger advantage to the 1 you already have?

[next onyx]

I'd rather get zoom snapped over getting flicked on.

[pine roost]

wdym by zoom snapped?

[soft dagger]

I want to compete with the same players as me who use their hands to aim, not some lines of code

[pine roost]

quick scoped?

[next onyx]

Snap aim.

It's legal aimbot.

[ripe hedge]

1. what massive changes are you referring to?
2. Engaging fast moving targets at their intended distances required too much leading and in cases like the DM7 that leading distance changed quite a lot between is ammo types, making an uneven experience.

[gleaming oracle]

A mouse and keyboard are superior to a controller

[pine roost]

I've not heard of that before

[velvet sand]

The point of aim assist is that it's to help account for the lack of precise control on gamepad vs. mouse, it's legit there to level the playing field and honestly in a lot of games can be more of a detriment. I suck at aiming with my thumbs, but I've even turned aim assist off in some games because it does dumb stuff like force the crosshair onto an enemies torso vs. the head I'm trying to aim at.

[silk surge]

I haven't had any problems with aim assist since the open beta.

Hell, I ended up turning it off because it messed with target switching.

[gleaming oracle]

It's alot easier to aim with a mouse than using your thumbs on a controller

[pine roost]

ok

[shell ermine]

I don't really know what is causing it but aiming feels much worse in 2042 than in BFV. I have no problems tracking targets or going quickly from target to target in BFV, in 2042 it feels very inconsistent whether or not my aiming works

[fiery shoal]

certain aim assist levels are too strong

[next onyx]

Cod has extremely strong aim assist.

[silk surge]

Yeah, it's basically using your entire arm vs using only your thumbs. Using more muscles leads to better coordination.

[next onyx]

Bf5 has the best balanced slowdown.

[pine roost]

mouse input is still rubbish. Feels noticebly different from V, that's why. It's overly smoothed and has some kind of accleration thing going on

[soft dagger]

the best gamepad players 'll almost always outplay the best MKB players at close to mid range

[gleaming oracle]

I agree, but not in 2042

[pine roost]

people have also used tools to deduce that the actual rotation you make is not consistent with the distance moved

[next onyx]

It was kinda fun abusing people on Mnk on bf5 pc.

[pine roost]

I've still yet to achieve the level i wish to be at, but it's very fun

sniping is just so good

[next onyx]

Set it down to 80% so it isn't super strong and somehow outgun people with the ke7 on 180 ping.

[pine roost]

but it's been so long since I could play because of exams that i've gotten so much worse

[ripe hedge]

Any links to that perhaps?

[hidden sand]

Zoom snap flat out should not be in mp games. There is no need for it. Slowdown does the job.

[next onyx]

I remember a video enders did where he installed this program that did exact 360's.

I think he called it a trainer or something.

[pine roost]

trying to find the clip now

[hidden sand]

Alex, one question I have for you is, what was BF2042 written in?

[pine roost]

https://youtu.be/RMOGkp9nUU0 here we go. It was from the beta, but according to all professional pc players, nothing has changed since they first got the chance to play the game.

If you want to ask specific people about it, ask Baranox or Enders, they've got countless hours of professional, competetive gameplay and should be able to provide a much more detailed description as I can

But even I can sense the difference between 2042 and V when it comes to mouse input

[next onyx]

If there's one way I'd have to describe it.

[vale pier]

So, uh, is it true only 2 guns for season 1?

[next onyx]

It feels like the framerate dictates performance even more.

Wait and see.

[hidden sand]

I'm not sure if my mouse is so bad that I legitimately cannot tell how bad the mouse input is or not, because I haven't particularly noticed the difference between the games.

[fiery shoal]

i have no clue why people just cant wait to find out for themselves...

[pine roost]

To me it feels like i'm dragging the crosshair rather than really controlling it

[hidden sand]

BFV has obvious input delay though because of the forced AA.

[vale pier]

I'm aboit to burst out laughing if it's only 2 guns. What a shit show

[gleaming oracle]

I would laugh my socks off if all the leaks proved false and everything that got leaked wasn't in the game

[vale pier]

Cope

[pine roost]

and sometimes those micro adjustments I make just don't seem to register

[fiery shoal]

we got another one...

[gleaming oracle]

🤣 🤣

[shell ermine]

I've tried every possible combo of controller settings I could think of and couldn't get the aiming to feel good.

[pine roost]

TAA is the worst thing to fall upon this earth. But even with this it feels better

[shell ermine]

Though I think this might be a factor as well as on the Portal maps I seem to be able to control better than on the base maps, even the smaller versions in Exodus

[vale pier]

If you say so. Not me getting my hopes up again knowing how useless dice are

[solid imp]

And always when a dev is on interacting for sure..
"Why don't the devs engage with the community.."
Smdh

[shell ermine]

I don't remember what Digital Foundry found for PS5 performance

[hidden sand]

There is also movement delay when you're turning, turn too quickly and your character keeps going until an eventual turn of direction.

[fiery shoal]

"another one" being a new person that is seemingly on here to shit on dice/2042/ea and say low tier meme/cringe shit that we have all heard before...

[pine roost]

oh dang

[hidden sand]

No I meant TAA. I forgot the T.

[pine roost]

I would actually like to here a technical reason why TAA is forced now

[vale pier]

It's the truth tho, don't know what else to tell you

[soft dagger]

U can disable TAA anyway, so..

[fiery shoal]

yes, and we all know it, you didnt solve some universe mystery..

[pine roost]

well you can't

that's kind of the problem

[soft dagger]

In bf5? Yes, u can

[vale pier]

Ok have a nice day

[pine roost]

bf1 is the last game that looked crisp. I could actually make out details and spot people from far away

[shell ermine]

I don't have a visibility problem in BFV on PS5

[pine roost]

There is a config file you can use, but it messes up with the lighting system, which leads to even more questions as to why that even happens.

[hidden sand]

Do you need a specific monitor for no AA to look less pixel-y? Because no AA looks worse in my experience.

[fiery shoal]

It's the truth tho, don't know what else to tell you

[solid imp]

Gottem

[pine roost]

The pixel-y ness is what makes it clear, edges don't blend together and movement is far easier to spot

[soft dagger]

U can just remove lightning commands from cfg

[vale pier]

So when are we getting a server browser? Should be soon right seeing as it's been asked ofr since release

[hidden sand]

Huh, I've always felt the pixel-y ness was extremely noticeable and kind of distracting (Especially on gates in BF4, it made it damn near impossible to see behind them) Which is why I hate that AA causes input delay lol.

[velvet sand]

Probably never. DICE haven't said anything about it beyond, "We've heard your feedback and have nothing else to say."

[soft dagger]

Monitor with higher res or bumped up res scale

[vale pier]

Ouch, sounds about right though. They have their own vision for battlefield and fuck anyone who doesn't like it. Including battlefield fans

[velvet sand]

Depends on the size of the monitor/resolution. Usually as resolutions increase AA becomes less and less important.

[pine roost]

Some people do prefer to play without the jaggies, but from my experience I can see 5x better with it

[hidden sand]

Just need to get a better monitor then in the future. I need one for g-sync anyway, screentearing is the bane of my existence on PC right now lol.

[pine roost]

What is your current one?

[hidden sand]

A drawing tablet kek.

[arctic grove]

6 monts and 1 map 😂

[fiery shoal]

WHAT?1

[shell ermine]

Yeah, just checked the Digital Foundry video, 2042 does not run at a locked 60fps on PS5 and XSX on new maps, only on Portal maps. So if framerate really is messing with aiming that could contribute to how inconsistent it is.

[summer tree]

Guys season 1 : 1map 1specialist 2 weapons 2 new vechicle helicopters so much content 😂😂😂 gonna be awesome

[fiery shoal]

gsync/freesync are super good, the input delay with these on is super minimal too

[fiery shoal]

microsoft edge over here...

[summer tree]

You still there ? Defending the game and they literally remove the 128 mode with all the bots that you were praising ? 😂

[vale pier]

We should go back to the premium model. It's obvious dice cant do live service

[hidden sand]

Yeah no thanks. Would rather have minimal input delay over screentearing.

[shell ermine]

The game has random frame timing spikes, that may be the bigger issue than framerate dips for aiming

[summer tree]

I mean 1 map, 2 vehicle and 2 maps like wtf

[fiery shoal]

its sad/concerning you still/ever thought i was defending 2042...

[velvet sand]

Why does everyone thinking changing the business model would change what DICE is capable of making nowadays?

[fiery shoal]

its way smoother, but it does add input delay, but not enough to outweigh the benefits

[vale pier]

You're probably right. Battlefield would be best janded to a different developer at thia point

[hidden sand]

Confuses me as well. Battlepass model would be just as successful if DICE implemented it correctly and had a genuinely good game.

[summer tree]

Honestly dice is death they will never be back , ripple effect should take back the franchise

[forest snow]

apparently season 1 is 12 weeks long

[velvet sand]

que? where'd you read that?

[copper fulcrum]

Ripple Effect is doing their own thing

[fiery shoal]

gsync/freesync get rid of screen tearing and the varaible refresh rate makes varying fps smoother

[hidden sand]

I'm really confused on how that sounds like no benefits to you, skramp lol.

[fiery shoal]

im almost certain even pro fps gamers use gsync/freesync

[vale pier]

Dice isn't dice anymore after most of the top devs left. Really no point keeping them on battlefield just because. Give it to a developer that WANTS to make a good game

[summer tree]

I mean 2 vehicle , 1 map, 2 weapons they literally make a trailer for that 😂

[forest snow]

dont forget the anime bundle!

[velvet sand]

If there's no moe Falck skin I'ma riot.

[forest snow]

pretty sure every specialist will have new skins in bundles

[vale pier]

That anime bundle gonna get cancelled just like the santa bundle

[summer tree]

But i hope they bring back the disable part for vehicle instead that 10 xp part disable complete useless

[velvet sand]

Yes, but I NEED UwU Falck

[fiery shoal]

the ONLY con is a very tiny/ completely unnoticeable amount of input delay

[forest snow]

i will prey hard for that

[forest snow]

dozer skins baby!

[fair pilot]

What do I do if the screen turns black after loading a round?

[fiery shoal]

i know a lot of tournaments use gsync/freesync enabled monitors

what are your experiences with gsync/freesync?

[pine roost]

Maybe you had a pretty bad monitor? I've had no faults with G-sync since I got mine

[hidden sand]

Only thing you can do is restart the game. Just want to point out this bug has been around since the playtest back in August.

[fiery shoal]

if thats honestly your take, youre straight up talking out your ass

100% no way you are telling a 1ms difference in input lag

[hidden sand]

What do you use to combat screentearing then?

[vale pier]

If you're having issues like that with gsync then there is something wrong with your monitor or settings.

[next onyx]

I remember something about gsync screwing up frames or some shit.

It makes it chug a bit harder.

[velvet sand]

vanilla vsync still works >.> (so does capping FPS manually, at least for me)

[fiery shoal]

vanilla vsync does add a noticeable amount of input lag though..

[hidden sand]

Vsync causes ridiculous input delay which is what they were criticising so I didn't mention it

[next onyx]

Oh might want to turn on gsync then edge.

[dapper river]

shieeeet if they're revealing season 1 tomorrow and they go "oh yeah, you can play it right now", that'd be siiick. They're probably gonna release it later in june, though

[velvet sand]

I think I have a freesync monitor from a previous build with an nvidia card in my current rig, so no dice : (

[gleaming oracle]

June 9th so rumour has it

[next onyx]

Yeah probably. We'll see.

Oh.

I think I've got a freesync monitor too.

[hidden sand]

Capping the fps to my refresh rate still causes screentearing quite a bit in my case, is that normal?

[velvet sand]

But honestly I haven't noticed much input lag, though I may have just capped FPS without vsync so that might be why (though my 3070 can't seem to hit the 100fps cap consistently which is fine)_

[dapper river]

that would still be pretty great, practically no wait at all

[velvet sand]

Didn't you say you were using a drawing tablet as your monitor? >.>

[next onyx]

I use it.

[fiery shoal]

i use it...

[hidden sand]

Well yeah, but it's still a decent one lol.

[fiery shoal]

anyone i know who has a gsync/freesync monitor uses it

[next onyx]

It puts me at ease knowing my gpu isn't gonna fucking burn out.

[vale pier]

Time to setup a gofundme for a new monitor

[velvet sand]

I don't know anything about those but a big part of the problem may be down to the tablet not being able to keep up for whatever reason.

[fiery shoal]

ONLY the best pc players playing for money would have even a slight logical reason to not use gsync/freesync to get 1ms better input lag...

[next onyx]

2ms is not even bad.

If your monitor has an 0.5 delay even, 1.5 is barely noticeable.

[fiery shoal]

hell the range for low input monitors probably has a difference of 5ms

[next onyx]

Yeah on 6ms you'll notice it.

[fiery shoal]

even if all pros say they dont use it, thats not your use case, and your explained "less smoother, noticeable input lag, etc" complaints arent valid either

[silk jasper]

What

[vale pier]

"I'm a bit of an esports player myself"

[fiery shoal]

it doesnt.. thats the point...

the ONLY thing it negatively affects is input lag, and its extremely miniscule

[tiny imp]

A lot of people will be disapointed If Tom Henderson got right about season 1. For me is better than nothing

[vital rock]

Anyone know how I can access this game for free on PlayStation?

[arctic grove]

They never could. even bfv live service was underwhelming

[fiery shoal]

when you say an absolute statement like "everything" yea... thats pretty easy to dispute...

[next onyx]

Less tearing for a tiny tiny tiny bit of input loss you'd only feel playing on that response rate for what, a decade?

And even so it's so very tiny?

[vale pier]

But all the esports guys do it

[next onyx]

Mhhh

[hidden sand]

Btw Way, weren't you going to sleep?

[fiery shoal]

bet skram is above average in bf titles.. like thats necessary to have the utmost best input lag...

[next onyx]

Maybe.

[cunning breach]

when is season 1 trailer coming out? @fiery shoal @next onyx

[next onyx]

But the people called.

In 19 hours.

[cunning breach]

oh its in game news

[next onyx]

There's your answer.

The rain is falling and I'm warm. I'm happy.

[soft dagger]

ayooo wassup

[cunning breach]

the yellow and orange hue reminds me of bfv a lot

[dapper berry]

yeah it gives BFV pacific vibes

[hidden sand]

I think that might be the intent

[arctic grove]

We need more penguins with heavy machine guns in 2042 tbh

[next onyx]

I want my blue where's blue icey icey cool blue please.

[unborn herald]

I hope they change the main menu

[arctic grove]

Maybe because canada = yellow???

[still vault]

I've been saying that since the penguins were first shown.

[arctic grove]

Oh damn where u been? i thought i was the only one.

[still vault]

https://tenor.com/view/not-sure-hmm-thinking-are-you-serious-fry-gif-16246481

[hidden sand]

Is the map set canada? Wasn't aware

[still vault]

I been hyping penguins for like a year and then people ask me where I've been 😄

[arctic grove]

Yes it is confirmed

[arctic grove]

Yes i was being serious lmao. Imagine: A penguin as a specialist

[sturdy prism]

New chopper in season 1?

[gleaming oracle]

2

[arctic grove]

2* new chopprs. 1 per faction

[sturdy prism]

nuts

[arctic grove]

US should bring back the Comanche

[arctic grove]

Me to DICE: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

probably did, all we publicly know is, "nah"; that or something even more advanced came from it

my favorite choppers is apache and comanche

beautiful US black budget

we need more Black Crysis skins

AH-1Z and UH-60 are my favorites

fair

[hidden sand]

The apache is my fav, so I already got mine covered lol

[arctic grove]

lol oh yeah true

[empty jasper]

holy hell getting the 500 repair done with randoms is close to impossible

[arctic grove]

oh, as far as in game? luckily BC2 covered the UH-60, AH-1Z tho nah

[silk surge]

Remember how people were super hyped about penguins in Breakaway and then they ended up being a rare occurence on a part of the map where nobody is playing.

[still vault]

just heal people instead

[arctic grove]

for the weekly? i think you can also just heal teammates to complete it as well right?

[empty jasper]

@still vault that works? oh ffs

[still vault]

If its for the weekly, then yeah 😄

[empty jasper]

medcrate didnt give me any heals so I thought it didnt work :F

also K30 nerf when

[still vault]

Did mine with the syringe pistol

[rapid moon]

I thought that was mexico

[arctic grove]

only in hollywood

[tall yew]

Can’t wait for S1. Gonna be hilarious watching all the haters/whiners be wrong

[lofty nymph]

anime skins coming to season 1 💀

https://twitter.com/temporyal/status/1533877820887277569

[arctic grove]

no…

[radiant echo]

hmmmmm

I'm thinking about re-installing the game when the season releases

I hope we get like 2 maps at least

[lofty nymph]

maid paik 🥵

[gleaming oracle]

1 map

[radiant echo]

naah

[gleaming oracle]

2 vehicles 2 weapons

[radiant echo]

wtf

welp I've got no time to grind anyway

[arctic grove]

I’m just praying that anime skin has been scrapped along with the changes to specialists

[radiant echo]

2 guns is a joke sry

[arctic grove]

I thought there were 6

[radiant echo]

but yeah let's hope for the best

[arctic grove]

2 guns isnt even confirmed... some dude started saying that earlier and a ton of people ran with it

[gleaming oracle]

That's just what has been leaked

[iron socket]

Are you serious?!?! LOWERING attack helis to 1?!

[radiant echo]

hopefully there is more than that

[arctic grove]

lowering attack helis

but not the true culprit

transports

[soft dagger]

Anime skins?

[wide shore]

Yuuup

[radiant echo]

I can't imagine a new trailer with only 2 guns and 1 map lol

[next onyx]

Yeah on transports that's a bit suspicious.

[iron socket]

Remove the stupid cannon from the condor and make it an actual transport vehicle return power to the ATTACK heli

[austere owl]

Don't forget to take leaks with a pinch of salt

[next onyx]

They need to nerf that 50mm and make it only good on vehicles.

[gleaming oracle]

Portal weapons coming to AOW at some point

[velvet sand]

handful of salt*

[next onyx]

Make the grenade launcher good.

[austere owl]

bruh

[arctic grove]

now your team only has 1 attack heli to get it right when destroying 2 enemy transports, AAND an enemy attack heli/a jet

i already see how bad this is gonna end up being

[iron socket]

No more cannon on condor whats so hard to understand. It’s the same JLC AOD losers who spend all game in the condor with absolutely no skill in infantry

[next onyx]

Nothing's more pathetic than seeing some rand in the osprey try to orbit bomb.

[gleaming oracle]

From the ever reliable tom henderson who has been spot on b4

[velvet sand]

I for one welcome our new Condor/Hind overlords.

[radiant echo]

The thing is portal guns are not well animated as the main game ones it's bit weird but that's probably cause it's from DICE LA

[gleaming oracle]

They all getting reworked

[arctic grove]

"reliable and spot on"

except for when he wasnt

many times

like when he was detailing S1s content

[radiant echo]

hmmmm I doubt that would cost a lot tbh

[iron socket]

I play as nightbird and I stopped preying on infantry because having mini guns and missiles isn’t fair. I now spend my time killing fully loaded condors. It’s harder but more satisfying dropping 6 losers

[empty jasper]

its kinda stupid that little bird has missiles

also Hind is too good rn, have had fun flying it but not fun playing against it 😄

[radiant echo]

I haven't played since Jan and that's all thx to the sudden frequent crashes

[arctic grove]

not really its just got the maps a little too lenient towards it

[gleaming oracle]

Or did dice change it because he had leaked it?

[radiant echo]

welp time to fly :" (

[arctic grove]

hop on tomorrow, of course if you want to, there was a major bugfix and qol update in april and now another tomorrow sergo

it may be better for you personally

[empty jasper]

Game works pretty good rn but balance is pretty ass + content needs to be added.

[iron socket]

where can we put some feedback on these transports?!

[arctic grove]

well if that was plausible then the game would be in a totally different state thanks to temporyal

[austere owl]

Listen, all these kind of leaks do is cause chaos for the community and the developers.

[arctic grove]

ea forums

[empty jasper]

isnt S1 supposed to start soon?

[arctic grove]

soon, yes

[iron socket]

No they don’t. They’ve done well for other games. The rage is acceptable here. It’s been 9 months

[tiny imp]

Gameplay trailer for season 1 drop tomorrow

[still vault]

Remember, leeks are bad. Nothing good comes from them.

[arctic grove]

but yeah sergo, tomorrow is a good time to hop on again and see how it is now since its been like 5 months, and right in time for S1

[iron socket]

it’ll be a solid 10 seconds since that’s all the content they got

[austere owl]

agreed

[gleaming oracle]

🤣 🤣 🤣

[fallen yarrow]

It takes more than 10 seconds to get through all the loading screens to even get into a game

[iron socket]

they’ll be advertising and trailering their battle pass more than ever. “Play as Pickle Rick!”

[next onyx]

You wouldn't believe it morty.

I turned my self into a pickle!

Pickle riiiick!

Oh great I forgot what I was gonna spell.

[arctic grove]

pickle rick skin for all specialists

[iron socket]

Cant wait to get dropped by a pickle rick using k30

[gleaming oracle]

Doesn't stop people doing it though does it?

[next onyx]

I would love to dress up as a pickle and have ranger chew on my forehead.

[copper fulcrum]

Way, you need to sleep or some shit

[iron socket]

this game is so f’d lmaooooo

[arctic grove]

not to mention right before that, you try to shoot at him and his character turns an entire 360 in a millisecond and beams you

[next onyx]

But seriously. When it comes to leakers it's best to keep an open mind.

[iron socket]

don’t worry guys they put the time and effort to allow you to pet the rangers!

[arctic grove]

i havent been able to pet a ranger yet strangely

[copper fulcrum]

Tell it to go to a location for it to stay still. Hold interact

[iron socket]

You gotta ping them to a location and order them there then hold interact for a few seconds

it’ll probably not work because of mouse input yk

[gleaming oracle]

Most definitely, I'd love nothing more than for them to be wrong and S1 comes with 4 maps 10 weapons and 4 vehicles

[still vault]

It doesn't stop the leakers. But if fewer people listened to them more people would have a better game experience.

[next onyx]

The only leaker you could trust is temporoyal since that dude doesn't ego trip and just... shares stuff he finds interesting.

[copper fulcrum]

Remember the Lunar New Year outfit that never came to BFV?

[arctic grove]

the last time i tried i think it kept bugging and the game input my command as "follow" so i just had to stare at the ranger following me no matter what until i left the game

[next onyx]

Cause the festival was cancelled cause of corona.

Rip.

[chilly oak]

im guessing the 2 guns will be on level 25 and 50 on the bp

[arctic grove]

ima try again tho

[copper fulcrum]

Remember like the 30 outfits that never came to BFV?

[arctic grove]

oh goodness thatll be funny to hear the backlash towards

[iron socket]

Remember when they removed the jet skin over the Russia Ukraine issue..... They worked really fast then huh

[arctic grove]

LMAO i hope its true. We be getting fortnut for adults

[next onyx]

It was a hind skin.

[arctic grove]

they were lightning quick with that, like within ~24 hours it was gone lmao

[next onyx]

That was easy to do.

Very easy.

[arctic grove]

utterly ridiculous when the central point of the game was, "yeah we're fighting russians"

[iron socket]

So was making a scoreboard my friend, really easy

[next onyx]

You needed an update for that. For a challenge it's as easy as a client side update.

[arctic grove]

well technically both ways; "yeah we're fighting americans" although youre taking orders from a russian woman

[iron socket]

Lmaoo yesss when you’re a Sundance on Russia but you kill another Sundance on USA

[arctic grove]

it wouldve been a better match for the attack helis/jets anyways

[arctic grove]

Clone wars my guy

[arctic grove]

'clone wars' is like my biggest personal gripe about the game but i digress, more paid and unlockable cosmetics should help sort it out and most people will rock anything milsim that also covers the face

[iron socket]

I do have to say there’s nothing more satisfying then shooting a Sundance out of the air and seeing their stupid body cripple. Same thing with mckay when he’s grappling

[fallen yarrow]

It's also that easy to disable the 50mm on the Transports...

[iron socket]

REMOVE 50mm from transports!! Well just CONDOR

[arctic grove]

although youd need to do a bit more with that since that has a lot to do with the 3d model too but probably wouldnt take that long

[fallen yarrow]

Why? there's no 3d model if it's not equipped

[arctic grove]

too many times have i attacked a condor just for it to appear behind me, beaming me with miniguns while it literally flies just behind me

omegalul

[grim birch]

whoo finaly there adding 3 new guns and 2 new vehicles after 6 months!!!

[arctic grove]

dont forget a map and a specialist

[arctic grove]

true, true

[iron socket]

Guess what they’re fixing their LAUNCH maps after a whole YEAR! Kaleidoscope finally gets some cover!! They added boxes and boxes and boxes and sand bags and sandbags and that’s it. They hired one intern give him 4 assets and he just copied and pasted them wherever!!

[arctic grove]

gunga ginga

[iron socket]

Ngl the map update looks good but to release it in august is a stupid idea

[velvet sand]

That's the earliest "all of DICE" can get it ready.

[iron socket]

Add more attack helis, there’s 3 damn vehicles and you only allow 1?! Remove the cannon from the condor. Make it an actual TRANSPORT vehicle. For the love of god someone buff the attack heli (not little bird) I feel bad for them they never do ANYTHING

[arctic grove]

Dice cant balance vehicles

[iron socket]

I like that they added new stealth helis to the game except there’s only 1 slot so there’ll always be the jet mains who’ll take that up and we never see the new vehicles

you balance the air with jets it’s simple. Jets balance vehicles

[arctic grove]

dont forget MBTs get shat on by everything

[iron socket]

what’s MBT?

[next onyx]

Main battle tank.

[velvet sand]

tank tanks

[iron socket]

there’s a tank in bf2042?!

[arctic grove]

good thing is the wingsuit is having its actual range reduced so theres no more sundances flying across the damn map and tossing c5s on you to pop your turret off while youre trying to help your team push an objective

[iron socket]

I thought those were free c5 kills

[arctic grove]

but in just 2 passes with AGMs the tanks are goners, and everyone can use M5s

and the least MBTs could get is trophy systems

[iron socket]

When the condor can pull up directly to a wildcat and completely destroy it 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂

[arctic grove]

since when do we get anything free?

the 57mm i think does decent damage vs transports but youve gotta land a shot with it first

[iron socket]

Tanks and MAVs are free kills for anybody with C5’s

[arctic grove]

poor mavs

[iron socket]

Like nobody uses the MAV... it’s useless. Because condor is way better with 50mm. Remove the 50mm from condor and leave it on MAV

[arctic grove]

bit, have you seen the MAVs 30mm damage?

i think it would be fine on a more littoral/amphibious map, but rn just

nope

firerate is really slow for the already bad damage it does

[iron socket]

It astonished me that there’s no sea play at all

[arctic grove]

https://twitter.com/DANNYonPC/status/1533879605102354433?s=20&t=4H02OHAys7394683Ck637w @iron socket imagine cafe maid Paik

[velvet sand]

It's all about Maidckay

[hidden sand]

BF1 had the best naval combat of the frostbite era games

[arctic grove]

i thought you guys were kidding about anime skins in 2042

https://twitter.com/temporyal/status/1533877820887277569 ....

[hidden sand]

But only 2 of them actually attempted it

[arctic grove]

Damn now i wanna see boris in one

like, i really thought it was just some mw19 joke

[arctic grove]

We r kidding. we dont effing know until s1 drops and the store opens.

[haughty dagger]

Anime Boris. Boris Chan comes to join the fight

[mental cave]

theres no sea to play in

[velvet sand]

Boris-chan and Turret-senpai reporting for duty!

[arctic grove]

ill pay 20 b-bucks to put cat ears on boris

[hidden sand]

I hope the anime bundle isn't true, it'll be confirmation they have no intent to make the game more directed and immersive

[haughty dagger]

Boris Chan with tsundere turret!

[arctic grove]

all i know is that anime stuff (if it ever gets into game) will absolutely piss people off lol

[mental cave]

I would love an anime bundle

[arctic grove]

Only time will tell. I hope they dont copy cod in that sense.

i am a no-pat fighting to secure grain so my family back in the US can eat

argh ive just been shot in my chest by an anime girl K30

[haughty dagger]

Give me anime tiddy gun charm with jiggle physics

[velvet sand]

We lost the battle, their UwU was blinding.

[iron socket]

anime tiddy gun charm is ACCEPTABLE

[arctic grove]

another 20 v-bucks for that 👀

[mental cave]

yall never seen that guy in Ukraine who put anime stickers on his gun? I think the anime bundle will be realistic

[arctic grove]

I know alot army weebs in real life so its not that far fetched

[iron socket]

I mean who doesn’t love one piece tho

[haughty dagger]

i mean given all the pics we see of actual war in the 21st century a lot of the skins that people claim aren't realistic, in fact are realistic.

[mental cave]

I think its even more realistic because the point of the game is these soldiers are mercenaries for hire and don't need to follow military uniform

[arctic grove]

has it not been proven to you most people want a gritty war game

and not anything to do with anime especially when the world of 2042 is "everything is going FUBAR"

[velvet sand]

Because it's not about realistic to reality, but realistic to the fictional world that the BF games are set in. It's about creating an internally consistent and believable world, and UwU anime doesn't really ever fit with the Battlefield aesthetic.

[valid sequoia]

I am top 0.9% in melee kills lmao

[arctic grove]

it would just feed the fire that the christmas cosmetics already caused,

you look at 1 and V and then 2042 with anime neon UwU

and it doesnt give 2042 a good look whatsoever

[iron socket]

I’m top in deaths

[mental cave]

nice, you ever get your shit reversed?

[haughty dagger]

I mean people are also saying the no-pat thing wouldn't happen but its literally happening in the current war right now minus the denouncing of their current country.

[valid sequoia]

Wdym

[mental cave]

the melee reverse

[arctic grove]

i think theyre talking about how you can reverse melee into your opponents stomach in 4

[mental cave]

is it not in 2042?

[valid sequoia]

I’ve never seen that

[mental cave]

I swear its in 2042

[arctic grove]

the most realistic thing youd see is like, anime stickers on the magwell or sight or whatever for a little bit of motivation

but i doubt in the world of 2042 even anime is gonna motivate anyone lmfao

[arctic grove]

we r living in 2022 and everything is FUBAR. So i imagine in 2042 it will be worse.

[valid sequoia]

I just grinded dozer for tier 1

[silk surge]

Apperently you're able to spawn into friendly air vehicles at the start of the game. When the hell did they add that??? It must've been added alongside exodus conquest.

[arctic grove]

Gotta go kill for my anime waifus lmao

[valid sequoia]

Been there since day 1 my guy

[silk surge]

Not on console. Hasn't worked until now.

[arctic grove]

nvm, pc

[valid sequoia]

I’m on console and I swear I’ve done it a million times

[tacit sphinx]

it's definitely worked for a bit

i think it was fixed in 4.0 for console

[silk surge]

I've tried doing it a million times and it has never worked.

[shell ermine]

You can't even see them on the spawn screen half the time

[arctic grove]

ive always been able to go over it on the spawn screen but for a while it just refused to let me spawn on them

[silk surge]

It has always refused to let me spawn until today, and I have almost 700hrs in the game.

[tacit sphinx]

its worked every time i tried it since 4.0 so

idk what to tell you other than maybe you just didnt try while it had been fixed lol

[silk surge]

Maybe

[wide shore]

It was definitely fixed in 4.0. I had the same problem.

[stone cradle]

We're finally getting the game out of beta, can't wait

[analog fractal]

No fucking way https://twitter.com/_Tom_Henderson_/status/1533843618703745024?t=5ZoXNa1R6EST2yYWflV4EA&s=19

2 guns? That can't be right

[stone cradle]

you know at this rate I'm not surprised if Tom's wrong on that one

[waxen turret]

It is xd

[analog fractal]

If true, mods might as well ban me lmao

Because wtf

[dreamy panther]

i dont find enjoyment in 2042 anymore 😭

[stone cradle]

I feel like this confirms that 2042 is on a skeleton crew, and all focus is put on rushing out the next BF asap.

[analog fractal]

I guess it doesn't include portal guns?

Because Lars said they're cherrypicking portal guns for AOW

[hard plume]

It lost me when it got rid of 128 bt

[arctic grove]

I want 128 back :c

[silk surge]

It's funny to think that even BFV had seasons with several maps. Chapter 4 literally had 5 maps (albeit Al Sundan and Underground came pretty late into the season).

[stone cradle]

"cherry picking" lmao. They're drip feeding us portal guns now

[analog fractal]

[dreamy panther]

same, BT plays so slow now. some maps are impossible to defend and some maps are impossible to attack with these new points
