battlefield-2042

[tribal dew]

To be honest I'd fire everyone on the dev team , everyone on the design team and everyone at ea and start fresh

[patent path]

ok cool

[runic prism]

How can i find someone lol . Nobody of my friends are playing the game + my english is not that good so ye lfg is not gonna work

[tribal dew]

Add me.

[unborn herald]

I don’t think it will

[weary wagon]

New maps ok but be better if i wasn't on last Gen, the music is way better aswell on that map, and lis I alr but it's too fast and you can't turn it that well when you first launch it so they got to be far and looking at the person or vehicle unless they are really far

[unborn herald]

probably a year later idk

[tribal dew]

I'll play but I can only handle so much of it

[delicate hollow]

And this is why non professionals should never design games

[weary wagon]

What do you guys think of the new map and the music?

[dreamy panther]

that would be the worst game of all time LMAOOOOOO

[delicate hollow]

New map reminds me of a cross between something from battlefield 1 and battlefield 4

[dreamy panther]

music? theres music??

[weary wagon]

Agreed@delicate hollow

[tribal dew]

Idk ww3 is working out pretty good

[burnt swan]

2042's soundtrack is earrape

[weary wagon]

The new music isn't earape like tne other trash music

[proven igloo]

At last, I have finished work.

[burnt swan]

random scratching sounds

[weary wagon]

The music for the new map is way better and isn't like the other music

[tribal dew]

Exactly. Give artist the creative freedom and not some marketing scam

[weary wagon]

Plays at the end of the game and near the end I quite like it

[patent path]

ww3 is such a piece of shit game lmao

[delicate hollow]

You have no idea how marketing works

[burnt swan]

the gunplay is just weird

[patent path]

it's a literal scam

[dreamy panther]

lmaoooooo

[burnt swan]

combining tactical with casual doesnt work out

[arctic grove]

What is “kills with utlitys”

[tribal dew]

I absolutely do.

[devout elk]

why when i ads the gun switches the fire mode?

[smoky plank]

Assume it’s shotguns crossbow

[proven igloo]

Grenades, gadgets

[arctic grove]

I got kills with grenades it didn’t count as it

[smoky plank]

Since they are in Utility weapons

[arctic grove]

Damn gotta unlock the crossbow then

[arctic grove]

The Sundance grenade?

[smoky plank]

That whole category is utility. Shotguns included

[delicate hollow]

Lol no you don't

[cobalt pond]

Is it faster to Alt+F4 and restart the game, or to wait through the end of round animations?

[proven igloo]

I never understood this, game doesn't really do anything with shotguns beyond them being another gun. Not like there are any door breach mechanics in game.

[tribal dew]

I absolutely do!

[smoky plank]

Change of pace. Shotguns can be fun and are pretty sweet in cqc

[civic mason]

For as micro as this update is, iz pretty fun at least

[copper fulcrum]

You can do that though

You can absolutely blow a door open with a shotgun

[delicate hollow]

You think the marketing team has a hand in game development when all they do is advertise

[proven igloo]

I will have to try this then.

[tribal dew]

How is ww3 a scam when its f2p? When ea charged 60-150 for a broken lackluster game that mind you is still very broken still very dead and is a flop

[civic sentinel]

OK boys, how’s the new season for y’all?

[copper fulcrum]

Very nice

[cobalt pond]

Underwhelming, wish they'd have focused on some of the core game issues.

The rocket is fun, the map is pretty good.

[smoky plank]

Enjoyable

[delicate hollow]

Now I know this dude is just here to cry

[topaz field]

Anyone doing TDM on ps4 for the new map?!

[tribal dew]

They literally do, and the board of investors as well

[proven igloo]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it only recently F2P with the relaunch

[dreamy panther]

you must be dogshit at battlefield

[smoky plank]

Lol

Marketing is there to advertise and appeal. Sales

[tribal dew]

Nice maturity 👏

[delicate hollow]

Lol stop sounding stupid before it's too late

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah the marketing team has definitely added some lines of code of course

[tribal dew]

No its a f2p title with early access.

[delicate hollow]

Ww3 is $15

[tribal dew]

Thats for early access.

[delicate hollow]

Homie you honestly thought marketing teams make the actual games I am not gonna believe anything else you gotta say at this point

[tribal dew]

That is your choice.

[paper compass]

Yooo what up

When this new update coming? Some hype surrounding it

1st season right

[topaz field]

itrs already out wtf

[smoky plank]

Yesterday

[paper compass]

Fr?!

[smoky plank]

[topaz field]

yes

[paper compass]

Microsoft store must be buggin then lmfao

tried reinstalling game but idk sh!t

[slim quiver]

this season

this game...

for the love of god someone needs to nerf helicopters

[paper compass]

They still OP?

[slim quiver]

the new ones and the freaking condor. they just need to get butchered

[stone cradle]

New one is OP now?

[slim quiver]

the condor is. But even worse is they added in stealth choppers now that are fuckin op

[smoky plank]

Still spanking em with rockets

[slim quiver]

2 fucking 30mm explosive cannons and all this other shit. Land missiles that target vehicles and fucking HE bombs

[stone cradle]

The fact that 'stealth' copters can deflect soflams during their stealth mode is just scary.

[paper compass]

Any servers started to fill back up?

[slim quiver]

its so broken

[smoky plank]

What we do need is AA emplacements

That way they could bring the count of air attack back up

[plush ice]

Haven’t seen a bot straight up, steam charts went from 2k average daily to around 14k. That’s just steam

[paper compass]

interesting

[slim quiver]

and the condor don't get me started

[smoky plank]

You know you’re right
Haven’t seen AI in 2 days now

But also been in Exposure playlist the whole time

[stone cradle]

And the way DICE found a way to balance them during that, yeah now they can drop bombs instead. Why go through the effort of firing a mounted gun when you can just make the whole map hiroshima and nagasaki and barely anyone can stop you

[smoky plank]

So that’s prolly where everyone is still

[paper compass]

Do people really dislike the AI implementation?

[stone cradle]

Atleast Lis can counter them well, right?

[plush ice]

I’ve played a few of the others yesterday. I know exodus gets decent amounts

[smoky plank]

I don’t mind if it’s just a handful. >half the server meh

[plush ice]

I don’t dislike it. I just prefer to see chat going off a bit.

[random zodiac]

Are there any good guides to optimize the performance? I have 3060TI and 3700X and I get 60 FPS with stuttering on high settings 1080P.

[shy bronze]

Unlikely

[random zodiac]

So the game is still not optimized well?

[edgy oriole]

[random zodiac]

Any setting in particular that I should disable/change for better performance?

[plush ice]

Not for pc it seems. I’ve heard that a lot but for me on console it feels how I’d expect it to feel

Maybe pc got the shit end of the stick?

[slim quiver]

its just so stupid

[random zodiac]

No idea. Last year I got 3060TI just to play 2042 and it seems no better than my 6 year old RX 390

[stone cradle]

If the wild rumours of DICE being made a support studio without much lead in development are true, that's good

[slim quiver]

like i sat inside a helicopter today just in the passenger seat to get the 15 kill assists challenge

and literally within 3-4 minutes

the pilot had 17 kills

[edgy oriole]

Thats air vehicles for you

[slim quiver]

yeah theyre broken, and ofc we had pilots in here talking about how unfair it is that they only get limited choppers and how air vehicles dont feel good

if vehicle mains think vehicles dont feel good, they should try being on the ground. its just hell

ill tell you, nobody is going 17-0 in 3 minutes on the ground

hell it takes us 3 mins just to run to an objective

[edgy oriole]

No helo underpowered bc there is 64 people on other team that all use rockets.

[plush ice]

1 really contested zone. Like b1 on the new map, and a really good player like those YouTubers who can go 100 and 1

[plush ice]

I’m happy to say I’m the repair man:)it’s not much but it’s honest work. And If I’m not in a vehicle I’m running around as a medic because I enjoy making ppl happy to get picked up and not have that extra number on the score board

[shy bronze]

BF1 💤

[native jacinth]

does portal have normal progression now? and can you do battlepass missions in it?

[shy bronze]

@slim quiver

[edgy oriole]

yes

[edgy oriole]

rn since there is a reason to get exp im ribbon farming so im everything

[floral tiger]

Have they finally introduced crossplay between ps4 and ps5 players????

[orchid lark]

Why?! Lmao

[plush ice]

Ouu I see you, yeah idk, I strive to be the #1 medic over time, maybe not #1 in revives but #1 for getting the “most revives” thing at the end of a match.

[chilly oak]

impossible, they are 2 different games

[orchid lark]

^

[floral tiger]

Cus me and my friend preordered the game and haven't been able to play it tg cus he on ps5

[plush ice]

Maybe he has a ps5 friend and he’s on ps4… feel like the sentence answers your question

[chilly oak]

the maps on ps4 are literally smaller, you cant play 128 players ect

[floral tiger]

Wait, I'm confused wdym

[plush ice]

They are worried the ps4 will go boom boom due to player size and map size

[orchid lark]

Look it up

[chilly oak]

the maps are smaller on ps4, you cant access the 128 player mode

[orchid lark]

I played the beta on my ps4 and I had to buy a new one next month no joke 😂

[orchid lark]

I knew less players but smaller maps? 💀

[chilly umbra]

another Driver dx12 error

[chilly oak]

obviously why would there be 64 players on the huge 128 player maps

[orchid lark]

😂😂😂

[hexed mango]

@edgy oriole guess what

[edgy oriole]

ded game

[loud flower]

Okay so
If you want to grind the NTW-50
Which is an anti-material sniper

You have to grind it in CQ-mid ranges.

[candid goblet]

would help if they didnt reshuffle the lobbies after every damn game. Like how hard is it to change the map without starting a whole new lobby they did it in every other battlefield

Thats the single biggest issue i have with 2042 i cant make new friends because you may never play with the same people ever again

nothing like goimg from a 128 lobby to a lobby where i have to wait for 32 people to show up

in BF4 i could play with the same team for hours build a under standing of how they played, make friends ect

[smoky plank]

Lack of server browser is irritating
I never used quick match, and now I’m forced to

[candid goblet]

server browser is in Portal tab

[loud flower]

On one hand, you don't keep cheaters with you
On the other, this is only working when really you have a high player base

[candid goblet]

but its always like shit lobbies

[candid goblet]

exactly its super annoying going from a lobby that is hella fun, playing like the game is meant to to a lobby where you wait 20min for 32 people to laod in

[smoky plank]

I mean for the main game

[candid goblet]

yea

[smoky plank]

Every other BF had server browser

[loud flower]

I have absolutely no idea why they thought adding a smoke GL standalone was a good idea since we already have smoke UBGLs and smoke nades and smoke dispensers and smoke packages and thermal smoke

[candid goblet]

really simple quality of life changes would go a really long way with this game

[loud flower]

Don't get me started on the preview mode
Because I have a whole paragraph to say about this

[native jacinth]

one more thing

ea desktop or origin?

[loud flower]

This is the dumbest shit I've seen in a game
Literally the shittiest preview mode

[candid goblet]

i use the EA desktop, cause origin launcher is dead

[smoky plank]

Dunno why they decided to do away with persistent servers

[candid goblet]

if you ask me main game broswer and persistant servers could go a long away in the right direction

[native jacinth]

still no persistent servers after all these months? jesus

[lunar finch]

Can u remove an attachment from ur attachment list?

[candid goblet]

yes

[native jacinth]

also i hate how the naming scheme literally implies the game up until this point wasn't even 1.0

[smoky plank]

Persistent servers and server browser goes hand in hand. Can’t have one without the other

[little dust]

no, just like emblems they don't allow removal

[native jacinth]

but whatever, i bought the gold edition and after all these months i'm gonna check if anything's changed for the better

[lunar finch]

So im forced to have 3 sights to select from?

[candid goblet]

well you can replace it with something else

[lunar finch]

I just want 2 sights so its not a pain to switch between

[candid goblet]

yup...once you add 3 you always have to have 3

[little dust]

yup.. one can be iron sights, so tech 2...?

[lunar finch]

Do the devs use their head😞

[candid goblet]

ill ask my professor, he works for EA lol but hes not on BF team

[smoky plank]

SemVer can be whatever you want - it’s not standardized

[loud flower]

Here I am using an anti material sniper rifle in CQB against bots

Man, this isn't the weirdest sentence I've heard or said but for today it sure was

[smoky plank]

Their versioning scheme seems to be built around seasons

[native jacinth]

well in any case i'm still not very happy about the fact it took them SO LONG to release season 1, thinking it'd be a few weeks max after release

[candid goblet]

I guess i should explain, i go to school for game design and development, so my one professor is a director at EA

[native jacinth]

i'm literally gonna miss out on my free seasons from the gold edition because i'm going to uni by the time they drop

[candid goblet]

just play at uni??

[native jacinth]

not sure if i'll have the opportunity tbh

[smoky plank]

Yeah you can tell that the game was pushed out the door too soon, but seasons wouldn’t have started for a few months after launch still, not weeks

[native jacinth]

scared to see what this game would run like on a laptop and i'm not very keen on moving my entire setup

[candid goblet]

I have 3 kids, wife, job, go to college and still have time to play youll be fine

[native jacinth]

i hope

[smoky plank]

It was consoles at Uni for me

[native jacinth]

honestly i'm scared sometimes that i won't find time for gaming when i'm older

[candid goblet]

college is easier than HS as long as you take it seriously

i play it on my MSI laptop

1660ti runs on High at 100fps

[native jacinth]

damn that's pretty good

maybe they optimized the game when i was gone

[candid goblet]

they def did lan optimization pass

[smoky plank]

Also am professional, 10-12hr work days. Still get about an hour at least most days to play games

[candid goblet]

it runs pretty nice now, my desktop is a 3060 rtx with high/medium with ray tracing and DLSS on i can get around 70fps

[native jacinth]

the worst part is that i genuinely would've stomached the game if it had some kind of a battlepass from the start, because i'd be able to set my sights on doing those tasks

[candid goblet]

if i turn DLSS and RT off i can run ultra at over 100

[native jacinth]

then the weekly pre-seasons missions dropped and i gave up around the part where it wanted me to get melee kills and i spent 2.5 hours trying to get the animation to work
pretty sure that's around where i uninstalled actually

[native jacinth]

that's insane for a laptop

[candid goblet]

Im 36, gaming is my life, its what i do for a living, between work and school, all my kids are gamers, its just part of life

[smoky plank]

During preseason it was a few matches a week to complete the Weeklies. Now with the BP and tuned up Weeklies, I might start struggling a lil more

[candid goblet]

no thats my 3060 desktop, laptop isnt quite that good

[native jacinth]

oh, still that's pretty alright. my irl mate with a 3060 was struggling to hit 60 in the beta

[candid goblet]

weird

[rose bloom]

Hey i have a question, what is the S010 (for example) in the level?

[candid goblet]

if i turn off DLSS and ray tracing it fucking rips on ultra

[native jacinth]

your level changes to S001 once you go above lvl100
and it goes up to S999

[rose bloom]

oh i understand, thank you

[candid goblet]

basically like prestige levels

[smoky plank]

S001 begins after level 100

[rose bloom]

ok thanks :3

[candid goblet]

saw someone other day that was S324 i was like holy god

[rose bloom]

Lmao, i just saw a S534 and i was like, what is that

[smoky plank]

Yeah I got mauled by a s400 a few matches ago

[candid goblet]

I was hard on the grind at launch, was first person in east coast to T1 casper during early access. But then i just stopped playing

so only level 76 now i think

[smoky plank]

I’m happy with my S015 thus far

[rose bloom]

Im 70 :c

[radiant flint]

HI

[candid goblet]

at launch i was out ranking Jackfrags so i was pretty happy with that

[radiant flint]

yesterday i played with levelcap

[candid goblet]

but then i just stopped playing when they started changing to much i didnt liuke the changes, felt like they were trying to make it more like COD and i hate COD

when they nerfed my AC42 i was like fuck this...

[radiant flint]

WHAT

[rose bloom]

I liked BF 2042 but it dont feels like an BF, i started with BF 3 and then i played every BF from there, like 4, hardline, 1 and 5, these were sooooo good

[shell ermine]

Who the fuck thought giving the stealth helos dual 30mm cannons and flares for attack mode alongside those powerful HE bombs in stealth mode? The thing absolutely wrecks infantry

[slow sluice]

i got 4500 bc just waiting for some good shit to come out in the store lmfao

[radiant flint]

My first bf was 1942

[inland creek]

everytime i start the game my ping goes to 5000

[slow sluice]

the bombs are the best

[candid goblet]

4 and V were the peak, we need to aspire to get back to that, I understand in our industry (gaming) there is a push to evolve and grow obviously dont want to put out the same thing over and over and over, but if you change too much too fast you get the result that happen with 2042

I admire them for trying to push the envelope and try something different than the same ol shit but they changed too much to fast and isolated the players

[radiant flint]

What happens if someone buys bf2042 after season 1 do they not get the new choppers

[slow sluice]

there will prolly be a challenge to unlock them or sm

[candid goblet]

i assume that if you buy it afterwards they will auto unlock.. somehow

[rose bloom]

It was Ok if they gave us a copy of COD but with BF feelings, but they didn´t copy as good as COD MW is

[candid goblet]

kinda like how you can still purchase old operators in seige

[smoky plank]

How you gonna do BF1 dirty like that

[radiant flint]

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[candid goblet]

BF1 was bad....sorry not sorry

[radiant flint]

SCREW COD

[candid goblet]

could be worst we could have a BATTLE ROYALE

[rose bloom]

Im comparing COD MW and BF, because EA tried to copy MW to develop BF 2042

[candid goblet]

no they didnt

[clever coyote]

my friend wants to know if he should buy 2042? I haven't played it since i saw how poop it was but dont know if there have been fixes?

[candid goblet]

Historically they would never do that, it would go against everything that dice stands for

[radiant flint]

basically ea and dice when they try to run from community criticizing them

[rose bloom]

But that's what it feels with this BF 2042, its such a bad, BAD copy of COD MW

[candid goblet]

COD and BF teams used to be the same company, BF team left to make BF because they wanted to focus on realism while COD wanted to focus on arcade style combat, they would never copy the other

the issue is BF lost sight of that in this game which is why it feels so much like COD

[rose bloom]

but half of EA Team was changed to a new team, who doesn't even know how to do a BF like the old ones

[slow sluice]

just was about to single handedly take e1 exodus and made it neutral then 12 kids decided to gang bang me

[patent path]

Dice*, EA didn't make the game

[rose bloom]

right

[candid goblet]

DICE makes BF, EA is just a publisher

[rose bloom]

yes, MB

[native jacinth]

honestly mw2 looks fine now except for the price

• they finally switched from yearly cod releases into a 2 year plan

[slow sluice]

already got vault edition lmfao

[native jacinth]

never preordering after bf2042...

[slow sluice]

i preordered ultimate bf2042

[native jacinth]

• probably gonna wait a longer period after release to see the real reviews
  bruh

[rose bloom]

me too

[candid goblet]

I P/O 2042 gold edition, Still happy with it. I have a different perspective on it though than most people being a game design student

the ambition was there to make battles more fast paced, more action oriented, no more requiring a class to happy people participate, ability to call in vehicles without redeploy, ability to change attacments on fly those are amazing improvements

[pulsar junco]

so aids spend the whole match without ammo with top kills

[candid goblet]

but for some reason they didnt implement as i think the intnetion was there

[loud flower]

Bro, IW is NOT DICE
MW19 was an absolute banger and they has two years post cycle to build up MW22 so I think they deserve a minimum of confidence regarding their releases
42 was rushed asf probably because of EA
Even if everyone loves to shit on ATVI, they're not EA either and prefer to retain a minimum their image than going full for-profit
The last CoD games at least were running rather well on launch day compared to what we've seen with 42
How long has it been in development anyway ??

[candid goblet]

sounds amazing in theory, when we watched the preview at e3 and saw we all lost our shit

then game launched and it was like WTF is this...

[rose bloom]

i dont like 2042 as much as I loved 3, 4 and 5, but im still buying the pass lmao

[arctic grove]

The marketing team and cenamatic team did an excellent job selling the hype

[native jacinth]

better safe than sorry in terms of pre-ordering (or in my case, lack thereof)

[pastel lantern]

Is battlepass stuff unlocking yet or no?

[rose bloom]

yep

[pulsar junco]

cod does everything the same they see no reason to change the formular repeat same thing get more money meanwhile dice had a good formular going but decided to change it for god knows what reasons and look how that turned out

[candid goblet]

yea they did a great job, but the systems were in concept a great addition, in reality they didnt do what we all thought they would

still i love being able to change my loadout on the fly. I could do without the specialty things tho

[loud flower]

Eh whatever I've preordered within seconds of the offer being live right after the reveal, that's how confident I am this will be as good as the first

[inland creek]

are yall lagging to

[arctic grove]

To copy cod and fortnut. Easy cash grab but ea and dice failed to realize that the bf community wont put up with that shit.

[slow sluice]

thats what i did with cod mwii vault edition

[rose bloom]

I loved the cinematics, and i love the concepts art they have for this game, because i study Graphic desing, but the game was the worst of past BF, but im still playing it so...

[arctic grove]

Which is exactly why i pre ordered the gold edition expecting it to be a bf4.5 or a remaster of it.

[native jacinth]

well i hope you enjoy it

[dark karma]

question. is there a way to get better fps on this game

[candid goblet]

Im sure the story in MW2 will be great and well wrtitten, well acted, their campaigns are always really well done, unfortunatly people usually only play them 1 or 2 times and then focus on multiplayer and Warzone

[unborn herald]

every game…

[arctic grove]

Same. But i refuse to buy any b-bucks.

[native jacinth]

at least they didn't ditch singleplayer altogether

[pulsar junco]

semi futuristic is also like the worst game theme imo ww2 dope modern dope ww1 dope futuristic dope 20 years in the future? so fucking lame

[loud flower]

Yeah, I'm talking about the same game
Lice trailer ended, notification that it was in store popped instantly, bought in seconds, vault edition of course

[native jacinth]

boins...

[candid goblet]

BF isnt a story based game, thats COD thing, BF is about the warfare

[loud flower]

You bet I'll do homie

[arctic grove]

yes. but thats what boins are. practically v-bucks

[candid goblet]

but when BF team did it it was fucking amazing. MEDAL OF HONOR anyone?

[loud flower]

Well saying CoD isn't about the warfare is false though
The storyline is just extra flavor

[native jacinth]

did they add stuff to the ingame store yet or is it still empty?

[arctic grove]

About a huge chaotic sandbox war game.

[arctic grove]

Only the classic MOH. like frontine or underground

[candid goblet]

warfighter sotry was great

[dark karma]

has anyone been able to get good frames per second yet

[native jacinth]

sad they pretty much ditched the ip except for that one VR game that sucked

[candid goblet]

i think that was the last MOH game too..minus the VR shit

[slow sluice]

how does one get image perms

[candid goblet]

I wish they would make Medal of Honor warfighter 2

[arctic grove]

wait until the mods deem you worthy or the quickest way is to nitro boost the server.

[slow sluice]

bruh

[candid goblet]

honestly 1 series could kill BF over night if they did it right

SOCOM:US NAVY SEALS

Socom was the pinnicle of squad based tactical team shooters and i dont care if you disagree you are wrong

[loud flower]

Can we talk about how the same skin, for two weapons and three vehicles, fills five BP tiers

like

no

why

[dusk trout]

NO

[static sleet]

today 2 map only in pool

[candid goblet]

did anyone play kalidescope since the update went live?

I played 13 hrs yesterday and never played it

[tough zenith]

not new version till mid season

[candid goblet]

I mean the map at all, it never came in rotation, i played discarded like 20 times, no renewal either now that i think about it

[lunar finch]

I have found my purpose in 2042... a Condor pilot.

[loud flower]

I play that exclusively to grind shit and didn't see a single change

[candid goblet]

i love a good condor pilot as someone that is a machine gunner and repair tool carrier

[lunar finch]

Yes yes i was turning it right so they could kill everyone on objs, in the short period i was flying i racked up 20 assist

[arctic grove]

The water skins lmao

[tough zenith]

gotta say the new maps deathmatch is top tier when it comes to top tier bf deathmatch maps.

[candid goblet]

i think you are misunderstanding me i was playing Conquest 128 main game and Renewal and Kalidescope NEVER came up in the map rotation its like they took it out of the play list

[loud flower]

if you go after jets, I hate you
I'm trying to learn dogfight without having a fully crewed condor blasting my ass two miniguns and a 30 mil

[loud flower]

oh

[lunar finch]

Nahh i go after players but i do go after a heli here and there

[candid goblet]

the best use for condors and choppers is taking down other condors and choppers, dont chase jets but always focus on taking out other air vehicles

[loud flower]

nah I meant the green skin that pops up at tier 16, 32 and later for both planes and a tank

[candid goblet]

dont use them to capture points thats a waste of time, and only acceptable if all other air is dead

[sonic stone]

This. It also makes you an easy target.

[candid goblet]

yes

[arctic grove]

Oh those yeah i noticed some were basically the same. Also u noticed the effing gnome charm? looks like the one that was on the weekly mission

[loud flower]

I've been destroyed multiple times by condors while flying fckn jets because 42's planes can't tank a minigun for two seconds even

[candid goblet]

most time jets are too fast and too far way to shoot

[arctic grove]

Jets have become Useless just like the bolte in 2042

[sonic stone]

The miniguns are lethal to any aircraft. The 50mm is potent, but the miniguns I feel like do more damage over time simply due to the longer range

[candid goblet]

but i will fucking eat you with a minigun fi you are in range

[loud flower]

this was such a missed opportunity to have a good weapon charm because they had to make it flat instead of keeping the proportion of an actual garden gnome

[mental delta]

They are making a remake of The Last Of Us for the third time lmao what a shitty game and what a way to make money

[arctic grove]

leave it to dice to screw that up lmao

[candid goblet]

my ability to track a air vehicle with a minigun is alien like

[loud flower]

the minigun shred jets in a couple of seconds, even the nightbird doesn't just go boom after a minigun spray

[candid goblet]

only thing that keeps people from dying immediatly is the barrel cooldown lol

[arctic grove]

part 1 was the only good one. But look at Skyrim lmao they remade the exact game for about 10 years now.

[slim quiver]

helis still broken as shit

[wide shore]

Transports? Yes

The VSS fucking bangs btw. God damn it’s so good

[dim hatch]

Modders keep this alive and skyrim's engine ports to morrowind and oblivion are a thing, I think

[slow sluice]

i want this controller so bad https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-Controller-Anniversary-Special-x/dp/B09GHQVX3N/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2RF8LDZ234M8R&keywords=20th+anniversary+xbox+controller&qid=1654905621&sprefix=20th+anniversary+xbox%2Caps%2C175&sr=8-2

[candid goblet]

i have 2 of them

[slow sluice]

its almost 90 bucks tho

[arctic grove]

yeah true but bathesda gets the money

[slow sluice]

of the 20th anniversary??

[candid goblet]

their ok... just a smoked black case, with the anniversary logo

[slow sluice]

they got grips tho too

[vivid nacelle]

Whats 90 currency if tou really like it, lifes too short not to buy things you really want. Unless youre short on money

[candid goblet]

yes I worked at gamestop when they released so i bought 2 of them and the forza 5 edition

[dim hatch]

not off of mods.

[mental delta]

I was talking about the first one, I played it until the end waiting for some action but I just found it boring (just my thoughts), but yeah remaking Skyrim for 10 years now is just outrageous, they should have a bit of dignity for themselves

[arctic grove]

Yeah i know but people keep buy the game after 10 years.

[dim hatch]

very few are still buyin skyrim

TESO is thheir money maker right now, I think. maybe fallout shit

[slow sluice]

lucky. what type of discount do you get when u work there

[pulsar junco]

which of wildcats main weapons has highest raw dps

[candid goblet]

15% on games 25% on merch i think lol i have been there so long i dont really remember

best perk is being able to borrow games for 3 days at a time

and taking home the "kill" products

[lucid osprey]

Anybody know when the 2nd week missio s unlock?

[pulsar junco]

when its the 2nd week

[candid goblet]

anything marked for destroy i can just take home

[loud flower]

which ammo ? I'm using the supersonic CQ ammo and I feel like it takes a tad too many hits to get a kill

[fossil trench]

Next week

[dim hatch]

on the 3rd week

[lucid osprey]

Thanks I finished em all on first day so was wondering

[wide shore]

Extended high power rounds (not subsonic)

[loud flower]

ah the last one ?
isn't the fire rate a bit too slow to be CQ efficient ?

[candid goblet]

im still working on REVIVE, becuase the people always get downed like 800M away from me

and people downed in front of me i cant revive

[vivid nacelle]

Once every fortnight

[pulsar junco]

?

[hidden sand]

The music for exposure is very reminiscent of Portal from Valve

[vivid nacelle]

You see people being downed at 1 km away?

[loud flower]

day 1 was yesterday
so 5-6 days from now

[pulsar junco]

shutup it wasnt a question on god i was answering the other dude

[candid goblet]

yes, they are always on toehr side of the map, way to far away to get to

[lucid osprey]

@candid goblet if you ever want to play a few matches I'd be up for it I go down often but I take atheist six of them with me every time

[loud flower]

which music ? I don't remember hearing music in exposure ?

[solar obsidian]

is the turn rate with the personal guided rocket supposed to be really low?

[hidden sand]

Do you mean the littlebird? The attac helis are pretty average in my experience

[pulsar junco]

so many silly dudes here

[loud flower]

you'd be surprised
many idiots next to a medic quit and the only ones who seem to hang on are literally on the other side of the map

[candid goblet]

dude someone told me there has always been music in vehciles and im like SINCE FUCKING WHEN??

[lucid osprey]

Yeah there has

[vivid nacelle]

On the radio

[candid goblet]

how have i never notticed it until this update

[pulsar junco]

dumb

[lucid osprey]

Jamming to it since ik many of them while getting rowadkills

[arctic grove]

Since the beta. You press D pad up

[candid goblet]

O.O

i play on PC, no D pad...

[lucid osprey]

When you on a roadkillstreak and the meme song comes on

[arctic grove]

I just wish i could play country roads while driving my recon vehicle 😭

[hexed mango]

still waiting for my evergreen skin...

[arctic grove]

oh sorry. I dont know the buttons on pc

[lucid osprey]

I wish there were more skins for vehicles with a plow

[candid goblet]

send FR

[hexed mango]

i love it when a compensation skin isnt given out, they should compensate me for the missing compensation

[burnt swan]

new gun kinda busted https://streamable.com/ii0uow

[loud flower]

I wished we could play YT music in the vehicle we're driving, I've got so many bangers lined up
I can put Spotify on my PS5 while I play 42 but I really, really don't like Spotify tbh
We got YT music but it can't run while a game's on even though Spotify can for some reason

[candid goblet]

looks like its working as intended

[burnt swan]

by busted i meant really strong

[candid goblet]

its supposed to be powerful, thats why its unlocked at level 20

[burnt swan]

i can see dice nerfing this gun soon

[candid goblet]

wait til you see the crossbow with explosive bolts

[burnt swan]

thats a thing??

[candid goblet]

yes

[arctic grove]

yup

[lucid osprey]

Can't wait to try it

[burnt swan]

lmao thats gonna be so toxic once everyone has it

[candid goblet]

and high speed bolts that are nasty as fuck

[arctic grove]

maybe they copy paste the bf4 crossbow?

[candid goblet]

level 29 in premium BP i think?

[loud flower]

I don't think it'll be, apparently the RoF is uuuuuultra slow

[lucid osprey]

Yeah almost there

[candid goblet]

RoF on crossbow?

[loud flower]

Rate of fire yeah

[candid goblet]

watch Jackfrags video on it, thing is insane

[wide shore]

Sorry, I was in a game. Yes and no. It does insane damage up close so it can kinda out DPS most guns. That said if you slap the short barrel on it it’ll increase the ROF by 50 making it shoot at 450 RPM instead of 400

[edgy oriole]

[willow sky]

exposure's end of the round music kinda scares me

[candid goblet]

biggest thing i dont like with the new gun is the mag size and ammo capacity

[hexed mango]

my friend says it sounds like whales

[candid goblet]

Id ratehr use the ac42

[lucid osprey]

Yeah

But I make it work

[wide shore]

20 rounds at 400RPM is not so bad

[willow sky]

along with the strong ambience that increases overtime makes me shiver lol

[candid goblet]

BSM-V will be annoying for a week until the "eww shiney" effect wears off and people use real guns again

but on a plus note im not getting sniped with shutguns using flachete rounds at 100m away

[loud flower]

From 400 to 450, that's not really efficient, I think
I have to try different configs anyway
So far my favs are nonsub CQ/short barrel/full auto
nonsub hiPow/long barrel/single fire
hiPow extended/regular barrel/both fire modes

[loud flower]

The VSS is a real gun though, I don't see the problem with it

[candid goblet]

@wide shore yea but if you use it single fire marksman as its categorized, it takes so many shots to kil;l

[hexed mango]

for range i currently am using HP/e, Long Barrel, single
and then for short, CC ammo, short barrel, auto
and i just switch between them when i need to

[lucid osprey]

Two to the head

[hexed mango]

only 3-4 when i do it 👀

[loud flower]

Three
Like the DM7
And the SVK if you're at range

[candid goblet]

I rate my guns based on STK (shots to kill) and handling

if i have to unload 20 rounds to kill someone its not a great when you have a max of like 50 rds

[lucid osprey]

It's handled well and I've gone head to head with people using Swiss and dxr at range an come on top

[hexed mango]

LONG

[loud flower]

VSS handling is good
And take literally the same STK as the other two DMRs
You have the high damage rounds up to 20rds like the DM7, so again I don't see the issue

[split pilot]

progression rewards still locked??? im level 15 in the battlepass and still don't have access to the new choppers, yet I see other people with it unlocked

[hexed mango]

CQ

[raw helm]

how can red dead redemption 2 get the best graphics in the game with all settings on ultra having 150+ fps using a 2070
but battlefield cant even get consistent frames on low settings

[umbral island]

The A-10 and the Russian attack jet are getting added to BF3 Portal

[candid goblet]

are you premium or free

[split pilot]

premium

[loud flower]

I'd rather pick the bipod but both options are valid, it really just depends on how you use the rifle when doing longshots

[candid goblet]

i think you should have them forget what tire they unlock

[split pilot]

it says rank 11 but I am 15

[hexed mango]

i dont have it unlocked yet lol

[loud flower]

I'd rather pick the "+accuracy while moving" grip, I do feel the difference and I'm never static with that AR-like build

[candid goblet]

Gun preferences really come down to individual play style

[hexed mango]

yeah but i always ADS, and i dont always move while shooting, so i choose that

[loud flower]

Oh well, I grinded it to P12 as soon as I unlocked it

[candid goblet]

the new gun isnt my thing, ill stick to ac42, ntw50 ECT

[hexed mango]

lol yeah im on P4 rn, like 10 kills away from P5

[loud flower]

Fair enough

[loud flower]

AIs or MP ?

[raw helm]

does anyone know how to get consistent 60 fps using a 2070

[candid goblet]

I went ham on new map with NTW 50 yesterday morning

[hexed mango]

MP

[loud flower]

We're gonna need more details than that homie

[hexed mango]

i havent been focusing it either, been focusin on ribbons to advance the bp

[candid goblet]

29-8-44 KDA with NTW 50 and casper drone

[raw helm]

game says im having 60 fps but it keeps lagging like its going 24 fps
low settings

[candid goblet]

those rock faces are great for sniping if you can get on a non normal ledge

[chilly umbra]

i keep crashing with DirectX error

[candid goblet]

takes some doing but damn its nice

[loud flower]

Yeah, I'm going ham on grinding shit so I play solo to go fast
Can't be bothered to die repeatedly with an half assed weapon build til I actually get the parts I want tbh

[raw helm]

i crashed like 20 minutes ago

[loud flower]

What's your CPU and RAM cap

[raw helm]

how do i see that

[loud flower]

Task manager

[candid goblet]

console /perf draw_fps 1

or something like that

[hexed mango]

lol yeah

[candid goblet]

thats the one

[chilly umbra]

its so dumb but we must do it unless u getting stock weapons and u cant do shit with it

[vocal adder]

Can you still level up the battle pass once you done the challenges for this week

[candid goblet]

yes

[chilly umbra]

yes by earning xp

[raw helm]

my cpu is "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700 CPU @ 3.00 GHz
GPU is "Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070"
idk where to see ram

[hexed mango]

yeah there's an infinite "gain xp" challenge
the criteria increases each time you go up a tier tho

[candid goblet]

you gain 1 token per every 3k xp

[slim quiver]

the new stealth chopper and the condor are just so OP

[hexed mango]

it changes, its not always 3k

[loud flower]

I have the NTW-50, the lever action and the magnum left
I'm doing the NTW-50 atm because as it turned out, snipers were actually easy (I thought it wouldn't be because I suck at sniping in MP)
The other two tho...

[lucid osprey]

I'm I. The 20s

[vocal adder]

Okay thanks guys

[candid goblet]

So every 30k XP gained is 1 level

[slim quiver]

the condor is broken mainly because its maneuverability is better than a jets, it can just book it out of anywhere

[hexed mango]

mine is 4.25k rn, it goes up each tier in the bp you advance

[candid goblet]

thats sucks

[past pier]

Condor got a hard nerf this patch. Lis missiles ruin it when it hovers, and the new stealth rips it apart with machine guns

[lucid osprey]

Yeah

[loud flower]

Ctrl-alt-del and select task manager in the prompt that appears

[chilly umbra]

every level its require more

[raw helm]

where in the task manager

[hidden sand]

Really? I've only noticed the condor being op. The new helis are mainly anti-vehicle, you're not going to go on a big killstreak against infantry with em.

[loud flower]

Second tab, then RAM

[candid goblet]

was kinda worried that would be the case but i guess it keeps the guys out running massive numbers every map from finishing BP in a day

glad they didnt put BF coins on sale yet too

[loud flower]

They did

[lucid osprey]

Yeah

[raw helm]

i dont see ram
memory says a max of 15.8 GB

[candid goblet]

they do that today?

[lucid osprey]

Doesn't shoe up for me on xbox

[loud flower]

That's that

[candid goblet]

When i hit buy more coins nothing comes up

[loud flower]

@raw helm DM me a screenshot of your game graphic settings

[hexed mango]

they are.

[raw helm]

they are all on the lowest settings

[loud flower]

Idk then
It's in store on PS5 and some PC guy said he could buy some

[candid goblet]

oh thats gay

[loud flower]

Still, send me a screenshot of the graphics tab, sometimes it's in the small details

[candid goblet]

must have fixed it today

[hexed mango]

how so

[lucid osprey]

So affordable still gonna put in 50😁

[candid goblet]

Im a FOmO kinda person lol someone will buy their way to 100 and ill be grnding my ass off lol

[arctic grove]

it would cost me 60 bucks worth of Boins to unlock the boris skin LMAO

[lucid osprey]

Nah but up bfc for future skins I'm gonna bust my ass of on the passes

[arctic grove]

someone got to tier 100 yesterday from boins

[clear hull]

do anyone know how to obtain the free skins? (evergreen, etc)

[candid goblet]

6,000 coins for 36 bucks isnt horrible tbh

my kids spend more than that on robux lol

[arctic grove]

its really bad. All the good skins are about 7,000 to 10,000

[hexed mango]

its 5k

[candid goblet]

plus 1k bonus

[hexed mango]

no its 4k base, +1k

[candid goblet]

oh i misread, mb

[loud flower]

Have you checked if you didn't have them already
They're for LCMG, M5 or AK (idk which one) Boris and Sundance

[lucid osprey]

When they adding Naval maps I want to stimulate and knife people already

[clear hull]

still don't have it

[lucid osprey]

Swim up*

[candid goblet]

it unlocks all the levels up to that skin not just that one

[arctic grove]

Mayyyybe season 2 if we lucky. but season 3 i assume

[civic mason]

Yo, are you able to destroy the C-RAM on noshar canals?

[loud flower]

Well, I guess you'll get it eventually
Did you start the BP ? Did you win a first tier ?

[clear hull]

well am already on tier 5

[civic mason]

if not, what's the counter play to it?

[hexed mango]

is that just by progression in the bp, those arent the values of the skins tho
so just like, play the game normally

[lucid osprey]

Types of maps yall want to see?

[clear hull]

regular edition perhaps? idk

[hexed mango]

the bundles in the shop are only 1k, i think its really reasonably priced

[candid goblet]

YEA THEY ARENT BAD

[loud flower]

idk then

[candid goblet]

how much to unlock teir 100

[robust aspen]

Still believe dice has so much potential to make this game great. I don't care what people say they are always so negative.

[lucid osprey]

I hope we get naval maps and urban maps like metro

[arctic grove]

Hmmmm ok from that point of view yes it seems like a reasonable price. the only issue i have that alot of the skins and cosmetics is garbage.

[robust aspen]

I think they can do it if they do it right

[civic mason]

any comments?

[hexed mango]

150 per tier skip * 100 = 15000

[candid goblet]

thats not bad

[young panther]

The season launch made it so much better

[candid goblet]

15,000 to instantly unlocke the whole pass

[arctic grove]

I agree they have soo much potential and decides to screw themselves in the process.

[lucid osprey]

Then again many of the devs are new and weren't around when the good days were here

[candid goblet]

ideally you would want to wait until you finished most the BP

and only buy the last few if you run out of time, but it would help for the people that are worried about play time like that kid earlier going to university

[lucid osprey]

Personally I love 2042 and see what it can be

[arctic grove]

yeah so the secret is to grind as much as possible and if for some reason or another buy the leftovers last minute

[candid goblet]

yes

[velvet kindle]

anybody else only getting the same two maps in conquest? The new map and discarded?

[blissful thicket]

3th time i got booted back to menu in middle of the game... guess its bedtime pff

[copper musk]

Why are people still saying refund on all of bf’s posts, it’s been 7 months

[hexed mango]

ima just play the entire thing and not buy any tiers

[arctic grove]

good choice

[hexed mango]

im already a 1/4th of the way done and its only day 1

[blissful thicket]

ez 🙂

[plain flax]

Me too lol

[loud flower]

I'm tier 20, it says I need 11.5k or something like that

[blissful thicket]

im not spending anything for now... so far its a step in the right direction but... no more money coming out of my wallet for some time

[hexed mango]

its 15k from 0->100

Exposure Breakthrough 24/7 When?!??!??!
Breakthrough 128 When?!?!??!?!

[candid goblet]

i need 12,450 from 17 to unlock 100

[tacit sphinx]

yeah the bundles are definitely the way to go but they seem nicely priced

[hexed mango]

and you get a lot lol

[candid goblet]

if i wanted to auto unlock every level

[blissful thicket]

they are, but i feel like im finally getting something out of the 110 allready spend so...

[tacit sphinx]

like idk why you'd spend 500 on the mackay skin when you could spend 1000 and get the mackay skin, a special dxr skin, a cool heli skin, and a universal gun skin lol

[candid goblet]

i actually really like the deathbringewr set

[lucid osprey]

I'd like to get a squad together more kills and xp when you have a squad that can communicate

[candid goblet]

but i wish the headwear was any operator, i dont use mackay

[tacit sphinx]

but spending 1000 on that is a pretty good deal

[hexed mango]

yeah lol deathbringer is hot
the Lis stuff is also pretty hot, purple color best color

[candid goblet]

purple is life

[lucid osprey]

Chopper skin looks nice I wish it had lighting on the side with that purple color

[tacit sphinx]

i probably wont bother with the lis bundle, the heli skin is cool but im not massively fussed abt the player skin and i don't own the crossbow yet lol

[blissful thicket]

I bet u played Covenant if u played New World

[fallen yarrow]

I can't believe DICE still haven't addressed the Air Transport balance.\

[tacit sphinx]

apart from anything i want to see what else they put in the store

[hexed mango]

im playing Lis so much (even though ive only gotten 5 vehicle kills) so i enjoyed the purple skin

[candid goblet]

https://gyazo.com/81862c84db5f55b27557afae1c46f1d4

with DLSS and RT on

[lucid osprey]

Can't wait to upgrade from last gen

[arctic grove]

what for? they killed off 128 bt

[lucid osprey]

Not in portal😁

[candid goblet]

lol

[arctic grove]

Yes

[candid goblet]

i play 128 all the time what do you mean, thats all i play is 128 conquest

[arctic grove]

128bt cant be created in portal.

128 breakthrough

[candid goblet]

yea i missed the BT

[arctic grove]

it was epic my guy

[lucid osprey]

Wdym nah 128 rush thiugh😁

[candid goblet]

is there still weapon grind maps in portal?

[tacit sphinx]

i got 5 in a match earlier getting the hang of the missile a bit now, it's a lot of fun

[lucid osprey]

Missle ain't that hard but hitting chopper is a bit wonky should be a hit but goes strait through

[hexed mango]

does the drone count as a vehicle

[tacit sphinx]

ground vehicles are obviously the easier targets, but generally take more hits

[lucid osprey]

They should had missles and grenade launchers to robo dog as separate Loadouts

[tacit sphinx]

i like to go for enemies that are already highlighted from the trait since it makes it easier to pre-aim + track and you're more likely to be able to secure the kill since it's already taking damage

[arctic grove]

or have a stationary AA launcher like in bf4

[hot magnet]

Honestly I just wait for the next battlefield game is it worth playing 2042 or does it still suck

[arctic grove]

or portable AA launchers

[hexed mango]

2042 is pretty fun :)

[lucid osprey]

Has its moments

[hot magnet]

No anti air no please i had a nightmare with Flak I don’t need stingers

[arctic grove]

air in 2042 are too OP. you will be fine

[lucid osprey]

They should add missles and grenade launcher loadouts to robo dog that way its good against vehicles 2

[robust aspen]

Hopefully season 2 comes with another map cuz this is great

[tacit sphinx]

why does it need to be

[robust aspen]

And fix the specialists soon too. And I'd say 2042 is a great game I could care less about the launch if it goes better from here

[lucid osprey]

They gonna add an event to exposure or no was really hoping for a blizzard or at least a storm

[robust aspen]

Yeah weather to it would be great

[hexed mango]

or a landslide to fit the theme

[arctic grove]

i pinged a dice dev to add a wildfire as a natural disaster event

[unborn herald]

I really wish they fixed optimization

[robust aspen]

And naval maps too which I heard was happening on their roadmap

[unborn herald]

stutters are noticeable

[jaunty fjord]

why c5 drone didn't fix

[lucid osprey]

Hey do yall think they could add hazard zone as a template to portal

[hexed mango]

no

[jaunty fjord]

I'm about to get sick of this stuff

[unborn herald]

what portal needs is metro map

[hexed mango]

just get better lol

[dense harbor]

Oh really?

[jaunty fjord]

vehicle balance is sht

[slim quiver]

That’s actually a really good idea

You could actually make one of the easiest forms of levolution that way

[unborn herald]

I think they will add more disasters

[hallow sierra]

like what

[slim quiver]

Fires floods

[unborn herald]

tsunami

[lucid osprey]

Still would like a blizzard make it hard to see nobody would be in the air cause they can't see

[slim quiver]

Tsunami could be cool but could be a challenge

[slim quiver]

Sand storm does the same

[unborn herald]

would force everyone to get in buildings

[lucid osprey]

Yeah but wish it was thicker

[unborn herald]

and combat would be fun

[stiff pollen]

They should add my mom to the game as the next natural disaster

[slim quiver]

I like the sound of a blizzard

[hexed mango]

how would 0 visibility make combat fun

[slim quiver]

Me on my period is a natural disaster, put me in

[lucid osprey]

Any chance they'll add a time cycle so we can play in day and night

[unborn herald]

im pretty sure ur referring to the other guy not me..

im referring to tsunami

[tepid agate]

I used the new heli in co-op mode to unlock attachments. It also started saving the badges for the amount of kills I got.

So if I really wanted I could kill a load of bots and unlock it's mastery tier skin lol (not doing that)

[hexed mango]

oh ic

[arctic grove]

breakaway would be the perfect map for that

[loud flower]

I really am glad to be a console player because I don't think I'd have the patience to deal with all the of the reported PC issues

[hexed mango]

it saves badges up to T3, then it doesnt update after that

[arctic grove]

She causes a tsunami and floods the map

[tepid agate]

Ah, okay thanks. Maybe I'm not even at that level yet lol

[loud flower]

Uh, I think it goes to T4 for vehicles

[slim quiver]

Carbonic moderating this discord is a natural disaster worthy of this game

[lucid osprey]

We need a daylight cycle and nvgs/thermal

[hexed mango]

redact that, you may be right

[loud flower]

THIS
ABSOLUTELY
SUPPORT 100%

[hexed mango]

agree

[tepid agate]

They made these new helicopters so good that there really no need to use the older attack ones

I think they are slightly faster, have the 30 cannon, rockets and drop bombs

[slim quiver]

How would this work exactly

[lucid osprey]

Old chopper for straight up carnage new one for quick strikes

[hexed mango]

the time of day changes over the course of the game, easy.

[arctic grove]

or rotates the day and night cycle randomly the start of a new map.

[slim quiver]

Games are like 30-40 minutes so how long would each cycle be

[tepid agate]

I think we already kinda get this when a storm rolls in, it gets darker lol

[slim quiver]

It would have to be day-dusk-night-Dawn

[hexed mango]

like 15 maybe? idk im not the one drawing up the idea
but i like what @arctic grove said about it just being different at the start of the game

[loud flower]

Well, simple
Maps go night
And since, idk, R3 I guess, doesn't do anything, it could toggle NVGs
And they add a thermal optic too

[tepid agate]

I forgot flash bangs not even in this game

[lucid osprey]

Would make stealth great option if there is a night cycle

Yeeeessss bring back the flash bangs

[tepid agate]

Something Sundance should have as she's the granade master

[lucid osprey]

Loved using flashbacks while every one using nvgs

[slim quiver]

Sure but do you think people would find this cool once in a while or all the time. Why not just make a night version of the maps

[hidden sand]

Whys that? Lol

[slim quiver]

Yeah that’s fair

[tepid agate]

Cluster flash bangs

You'll go blind using thermals lol

[slim quiver]

Dm me

[jolly sail]

how is new heli gun so shit hello

[tepid agate]

You can have the big cannon

[jolly sail]

as gunner

[lucid osprey]

Reason I'd say a cycle is because it's randomized no need to change londonderry for maps

[tepid agate]

Yeah gunner is not good but pilot gets much better perks.... Cannons rockets and bombs

[loud flower]

That's the thing, making it random with a night/day cycle would make this interesting I'd say, like, mid game or late game, you don't need the NVGs anymore or something

[sage thunder]

Updates cool but it isn't enough to keep me active

[jolly sail]

pilots perks are infinitely better and gunner is utterly useless

[misty crypt]

same

[sage thunder]

one map

[tepid agate]

They'll probably change or take away some abilities.... This Heli is much better than the old one now

[jolly sail]

besides gunner has no perks Xd

[jolly sail]

old heli is way better

[tepid agate]

And I've already done all the weekly missions lol

[jolly sail]

but neither compare to transport heli

[prime smelt]

why do people say 2042 has so many bugs when apex has far more

[tepid agate]

They are not transport they are attack helis in the wrong place lol

[jolly sail]

ikr its so dumb

[solar rivet]

are there tornadoes on the new map

[tepid agate]

NOOOO this one is faster... Bombs ...cannons... Rockets... The other is slower and has no bombs

[lucid osprey]

Hey a volcano would be nice on a map all that ash and lava even flying boulders

[solid torrent]

No

Love Battlefield ❤️

[jolly sail]

old heli will fuck ur new heli over 10/10 times

[lucid osprey]

Helis depeond on the pilot if your not good don't matter what I has

[tepid agate]

There is not much dog fighting with other air vehicles anyways with all the rockets and grenades coming at you from down below

[arctic grove]

nope. There is no event

[jolly sail]

if you die to ground its kinda

[tepid agate]

Holi crap you try fly a Heli with this new specialist loooool

You get lock ons from AAs... Sundance granades... Maybe the standard rocket will fire at you and about 3-5 rockets guided from the new specialist lol

[jolly sail]

in this patch you see lock ons and all tv missiles coming your way, its actually better than ever before especially with sundance cancer lockon aids gone

[tepid agate]

The new map and Sundance granade improvement has made it easier to get her to mastery. So many like to fight in the tunnels a huge granade fest

[jolly sail]

yea but your arent perma locked in air

besides didnt they just remove it?

[tepid agate]

I'm a boots on the ground player so rarely use vehicles ... But when I do holy crap I don't last long lol

They removed her emp

She still has those lock on granades

[jolly sail]

havent seen them today so I am happy

I am not sure if you can even imagine how garbage helis are in this game compared to bf3

[tepid agate]

Just keep doing exposure until reach 100 then go to map rotation will probably get bored by then lol

Plus Kaleidoscope is being reworked

There's another map being reworked I think but I can't remember which one. It should come in season 2

Bloody hell this new update has propelled the game to 14.4k players! Second most played Battlefield! Overtook bf1 with ease 👀

[jolly sail]

I am not sure if it will last

[lucid osprey]

We need more lmgs

[tepid agate]

It's almost at bfV level 👀

bfV has 17.2k

[vocal adder]

probably higher then that don't forget about origin

[tepid agate]

Yeah all games will be higher this is just an indicator which games are on fire

[lucid osprey]

Yall forget the consoles🥲

[tepid agate]

This data is all we can really use lol

[waxen bison]

W MAP

[jolly sail]

doesnt matter the pilot with how bad the new gun is tbh

[vocal adder]

i must say from the release date to now the game is so much better haha

[jolly sail]

agree for sure

[tepid agate]

You need to watch Top Gun Maverick.... It's not the plane it's the pilot

[lucid osprey]

We need more pistols and do say that 45 from the datamine ain't released go look at the bf3 45

[waxen bison]

if the game released yersterday it woulda had mixed if not positive reviews

[hallow sierra]

we didnt even get a auto pistol at launch

[waxen bison]

dont thnk, just do.

[unborn herald]

doubt it would get positive reviews

[tepid agate]

Exactly haha

[unborn herald]

it would get mixed

[lucid osprey]

I want a shoty pistol

[waxen bison]

im watching it for the third time tomorrow haha 10/10

[tepid agate]

One of the best films I've seen to be honest. Going back on the 16th to watch it a 3rd time

[hidden sand]

TDM on Exposure is actually pretty nicely designed, the spawns are a bit rough though. You can spawntrap really easily.

[lucid osprey]

Or nade pistol

[jolly sail]

too bad this game isnt a movie

[tepid agate]

Omg wow hahahaha what a coincidence b😂 😂 😂 😂

[waxen bison]

and u better believe there will be a 4th and 5th time lol

[vocal adder]

i have a little bit of hope now though the game will be good just the maps and more weapons really need to be added

[lucid osprey]

Yes

[tepid agate]

I even search YouTube clips to see those moments again so epic

[tepid agate]

We wish!!!

[lucid osprey]

They need to add a tugs though I'd still stick to the info nades

[waxen bison]

its a shame the new map doesnt have a rockslide map event, missed opportunity

[tiny cave]

i love how the game doesnt even work

[vocal adder]

the game works beautifully for me

[lucid osprey]

Why they make the grenade launcher just for smoke?

Bring back bf4 cluster names in launchet

[hallow sierra]

cuz of ppl dat want it from bfv i think

[tiny cave]

i keep getting matchmaking failed everytime

[obsidian elk]

Hi guys, I'm new to BF2042 and am enjoying it a lot. I have a question though.

I'm not sure I understand the mechanics of the Ranger drone. Is it a limited call-in? Is it on a recharge timer? Exactly how useful is it to have? Why doesn't everybody just use it since it's extra fire support? I feel like I don't see them very often

[hallow sierra]

and having two smokes nades is funni

[tiny cave]

and the weekly missions just say "id_weekly_s01w01l11_crit" and so on

[lucid osprey]

Yes call in timer and people waste vehicles

[obsidian elk]

Thanks.

[lucid osprey]

We need an urban map in a city tons of buildings and rooms and tight streets no opens space would make vehicle combat and infantry intense

[white geyser]

I'm playing the specialist name Lis and I can't use her AA rocket launcher and the regular rocket launcher? WTF?!?!

[jolly sail]

yes

[obsidian elk]

Like that one Squad map, forgot what it's called

It's based on a real city

[lucid osprey]

That's intended

[obsidian elk]

I think it was Fallujah

[lucid osprey]

It's to keep her from being op

[tiny cave]

oh and the new specialist doesnt show up at all for me in the menu thing

[jolly sail]

gotta unlock

[white geyser]

DICE you fuck it up

[lucid osprey]

You update the game?

[tiny cave]

i know but theres nothing in the game that even suggests shes actually been added at all

[smoky plank]

Medics love this one trick

[jolly sail]

even in bp?

[obsidian elk]

Picking Lis is essentially trading your rocket launcher gadget slot, into your power slot instead, which frees up the gadget for something else.

This is why you can't have two rocket launchers.

It's one of the reasons I'm actually a fan of the specialist system especially since you can change weapons and gear to your heart's content. It's not as limiting as people make it out to be.

[tiny cave]

i assume so it was a 50gb+ update a couple of days ago

[lucid osprey]

Check again just in case

[tiny cave]

theres no option to update it in the ea launcher thing

[jolly sail]

zero hour more like zero heli gunner perks

[lucid osprey]

Oh then idk me on console😁

[obsidian elk]

The new helis are so cool

I love the cockpit effects when you turn on stealth mode

[stark owl]

You know there is just no reason for choppers anymore with Lis around is there lol. I spawn and automatically get shot down because 3000 rockets come flying at you

[lucid osprey]

Hate the amassing so I turned it off now I have more fun

[jolly sail]

yea but the balancing is garbage, its unplayable

[obsidian elk]

The rocket itself doesn't hurt that much, it's just the sheer number of Lis players that are making it overbearing. The gadget itself is balanced in my opinion

Rather than nerfing Lis I'd honestly rather see more specialists, because the true problem is how many people are playing her

[lone wren]

you say its unplayable but it is

[jolly sail]

good thing is you see them very well

[lucid osprey]

I'm up in chopper the whole match I get air dominance

[stark owl]

I disagree I don't agree with the recharge

Resupply like everyone else

[jolly sail]

ur telling me the new heli is playable as gunner?

[obsidian elk]

I haven't played her yet so I cannot comment on her recharge duration but it would feel strange to have a specialist with a power that doesn't recharge like every other specialist.

Therefore I would rather have weak rockets than resuppliable rockets that are stronger

[lone wren]

im saying just get use to it

[lucid osprey]

Yes

[hallow sierra]

tbh i didnt see anyone using the new helis

[jolly sail]

get used to it? have u played like a full round of this crap

[stark owl]

Apparently once you unlock the 30MM it's just as broken as the russia attack chopper

[granite yew]

Anyone got a solution to being kicked out to the menu halfway through a game

[jolly sail]

I am talking about gunner

[lucid osprey]

I love them I don't like picking on infantry so I tend to dominate the air and hunt ground vehicles

[lone wren]

im trying to get use to being a gunner and itt has been annoying with pilots just not letting my gun get a good angle

[obsidian elk]

Sounds like a connection issue to me, it's been fine all day on my end

[white geyser]

The coins finally work, I unlock her short circuit skin and I'm gonna need more coins and I need 2400 coins to unlocked the rest of the battle pass.

[stark owl]

Yeah that is strange I mean I get the whole stealth thing but the gun just seems like a nerf gun

[granite yew]

It's never happened to me on any other battlefield game and I'm only playing on the 64 player conquest

[jolly sail]

the pilot hardly matters though since even with the best pilot you barely can do shit

[lucid osprey]

I'll fly for ya anytime though hovering is death sentence so I'll hold it for as long as I can

[obsidian elk]

99% of people who play the game are extremely casual (and there's nothing wrong with that) so they won't pay much attention to their gunner, they only want to play "their own game"

Most people don't play battlefield with a team-oriented mindset

You're lucky when you have a pilot that cares about making sure your target isn't in your cannon's deadzone

[jolly sail]

its slow, overheats quickly, does 0 dmg to armored vehicles and has no splash, its literally useless on a heli

[lone wren]

dont hold it for too long just until a area is clear you can maneuver just all the time without any threats the pilot still does it

[stark owl]

Should have just made the damn things a single seat aircraft

[jolly sail]

at this point yea

[white geyser]

The skybreaker outfit for Lis, oh man I can't wait to unlock it

[lucid osprey]

It's not meant for armored targets the high on new choppers are meant for light target so latv air and miscl vehicles

[stark owl]

And 1 damage to infantry

[lone wren]

i am a accurate shot

[tiny cave]

i guess my only option is to just reinstall the game

[lone wren]

with gunner seats

[radiant ridge]

So I’m testing out the specialist Rao to see if he’s actually useless. And I’m hacking enemy helicopters but they can still use their flares! That shouldn’t be possible right??

[obsidian elk]

I would honestly take reduced damage on the chopper gun if it just had a wider blast radius

But ask yourself why every aerial vehicle in the game has shit blast radius. It's because they likely found in their playtesting that it made aerial vehicles way too dominant.

Infantry need to not be cannon fodder for aerial vehicles or the game would be horribly unbalanced. So I can understand why the area of effect of the cannon is so small

[lucid osprey]

My friend was on gunner and cleared whole point with it was a pain hovering hovering for him

[jolly sail]

which makes it utterly weak no?

[stark owl]

Real world logic no that shouldn't

[obsidian elk]

I like it, it looks like a more realistically grounded future soldier

[arctic grove]

They flare before the hack goes into effect, a lot of pilots do that knowing if they’re too late they’ll get an anti-air missile to the face

[robust aspen]

How to get vss

[stark owl]

Throw money at your screen lol

[radiant ridge]

I’ll successfully hack a helicopter completely, then lock on with my stinger, and they still deploy flares

[lone wren]

battlepass

[lucid osprey]

Not the only way to avoid being hit if your good at flying should be able to dodge the missle I do on occasion

[obsidian elk]

But it would be OP if the hack disabled flares without actually going through. I think if the pilot knows they're getting hacked, pre-flaring is a sign of skilled play on the part of the pilot.

It can also backfire because the Rao player won't necessarily finish the hack. They could be baiting the pilot into flaring.

[boreal pendant]

Flares last for awhile after they are deployed

[robust aspen]

Is that really the only way?

[white geyser]

However for the skybreaker outfit, it only has the robotic exo legs but they didn't add for her arms, kind of sad.

[arctic grove]

That’s strange, it’s probably a glitch since sometimes that ability is removed by the hack

[boreal pendant]

its a continuous stream of them for like 15 seconds

[radiant ridge]

But all the helicopters hadn’t deployed their flares until after I hacked them

[lone wren]

i sort of dont like the way flares are now it makes the AA rocket launcher barely useable

[boreal pendant]

the probably did but it was a visual bug

[radiant ridge]

So basically Rao is as useless as I thought

[soft beacon]

I dont get the first 4 level from the battle pass, all after it gets free im lvl 17 already

[arctic grove]

Rao is best for denying an area to pilots because as you said, there’s no telling wether or not you’re really going to get hacked and if you’re being tricked into dumping flares, that way you’ve gotta head somewhere safe to cool down, hes pretty good to be honest

[lucid osprey]

We need boats and mini subs

[boreal pendant]

hes not useless i kill air vehicles with him all the time

[arctic grove]

No, rao isn’t useless at all

[obsidian elk]

It just needs some coordination, you have to not be the only person locking on to an aircraft, imagine how unfun it would be if a single person with a stinger posed a significant threat to you as an aircraft.

It's good enough that you can force the flare.

[radiant ridge]

Haven’t been able to get his abilities to benefit me yet then

[lucid osprey]

Soflam a chopper and watch it fall as heaven falls on it

[arctic grove]

RHIBs and small autocannon/HMG patrol boats are most likely

[lone wren]

its like you can spam flares 24/7

[obsidian elk]

Nah, there is a meaningful downtime, it just doesn't always feel that way when you're on the other end.

[jolly sail]

it would be pretty much same as regular atk heli which takes 17 hits to kill infantry at 180m+ (always)

they made them terrible because I dont think they have a clue how to balance them. I am pretty sure if you have 1-2 helis and 2 jets on each side it will be perfectly fine because you wont ever have time to "farm" ground besides you get chipped by AA-LAVS from crazy range and you have up to 64 possible AA missile users w 400m lock-on range

add specialists to that and the fact you barely see anything at 500m+ or on some maps like the desert one you dont see anything at all through the sand storm

[lucid osprey]

I use repair then flares

[lone wren]

meaningful every stinger reload is a new flare ready

[lucid osprey]

Been having trouble landing the bombs

[obsidian elk]

Yeah, the guns definitely could use some buff. Personally I would buff the area of effect first, so that it can actually HIT things, and then from there I would decide how much the damage needs to be improved

[soft beacon]

I dont get the first 4 level from the battle pass, all after it gets unlocked im lvl 17 already. Someone an idea what i should do? would be nice to play the new specialist ^^

[lucid osprey]

Buff the damage for the high and no blast radius perfect balance

[obsidian elk]

I could be wrong but isn't she only for premium holders only?

[arctic grove]

Are you talking about attack helicopter gunner 30mms?

[jolly sail]

I think atk heli gun is sorta okay but you need any kind of perk with it like ATG missiles or a TV which is already in the game but its on a stupid specialist instead of an a t t a c k h e l i

[tiny cave]

when i select repair game it just installs the game again in a different folder than what the download folder is set to, and when i select open install folder it opens the folder its actually installed in

[radiant ridge]

What does raos ability do to tanks?

[arctic grove]

All gameplay elements such as guns and specialists are free for all players. You just need to unlock them first

[soft beacon]

well i buyed premium already

[lucid osprey]

All specialists are free and new guns too just unlock

Solo and coop doesn't progress the pass

[obsidian elk]

Does solo/coop progress your regular EXP?

[crude viper]

hi C: , got everything else changed for just the NEW MAP and a few weapons , i mean is it still boring ? xd

[arctic grove]

I think to an extent it does

[soft beacon]

Like i said, im level 17 and have all the stuff from 5 - 17 but not 1 -4

[lucid osprey]

Normal xp to level up to s yes but not the pass

[obsidian elk]

Thanks.

[jolly sail]

?

[arctic grove]

Nah, I mean that’s up to you to decide for yourself though. I’m enjoying progressing through the battle pass

[obsidian elk]

That mackay skin is so cool omg

[smoky plank]

Disables guns like an emp

[soft beacon]

Well i think its worth to take a look, new map and all the little changes are well done

[arctic grove]

Like, what are you saying needs to be buffed? Brief me please

[lucid osprey]

Love thos new 30mm great for gaining air domance on other choppers same foe the old 20mm

[crude viper]

ehe ye but like a half year ago the game was boring af bcs every map was like too big and " locker " from bf4 , bcs helis were able to chase down jets , and they were kinda unbalanced and every map was a full sniper map :c

[jolly sail]

read what I said

[crude viper]

not bcs * , i meant and *

[arctic grove]

Or you can just say what you’re talking about

[obsidian elk]

Fun fact, helis actually beat jets in real life combat simulations 90% of the time

[lone wren]

i use to use a method back at the 2042 beta that i would lock on a heli then see them use the flares then i lock on again without that delay that you would get now with locking so i would just shoot after flares and that would fairly get the job done

[jolly sail]

add gunner perks and rework stealth heli gun

[jolly sail]

🙃

[arctic grove]

I haven’t had any problems with the Comanche and Hannibal(?) guns

[obsidian elk]

Smart pilots won't flare until they get notified of missile launch though

Lock-on notification and missile launch notification are different

[arctic grove]

They seem to be stronger nightbird miniguns

[candid goblet]

whats the best method to level up guns at the moment

[jolly sail]

we talking about gunner still

[arctic grove]

The ultimate way to level up guns is shooting real players with them

[lone wren]

back at beta players would flare regardless of lock on

[lucid osprey]

Just guns in solo and coop

[obsidian elk]

If you mean unlocking attachments, play solo or coop vs AI. Note that this will not give you battle pass EXP, but it will increase your regular player exp, so you can also unlock new equipment on top of grinding your current equipment.

[lone wren]

so it gave me a opening

[candid goblet]

better conquest or break through?

[obsidian elk]

Yeah you're completely correct, players back then were still learning, meaning it was easy to exploit as a smart player.

[candid goblet]

i feel like the ai in breakthrough is bullet spongey as hell

[lone wren]

i am just annoyed mainly with the flare to stinger lock on ratio now

[arctic grove]

You might like Exposure. Assuming you redownload the game to try it out, it’s like a mix of everything really. The facility is great for CQB and close quarters, everything around it has enough space and elevation for snipers and vehicles without making it unbalanced

And yeah, condours literally being able to chase down jets and gun them is honestly ridiculous and I feel like the transports honestly need a nerf

[obsidian elk]

Honestly, the answer to this question is literally just whichever match lasts longer. Because you're in there for killing bots. Just pick a low difficulty and whatever mode you think will last the longest. Breakthrough takes a good while in my experience and gives me plenty of time to farm the bots.

[crude viper]

yeah but in BF 4 if u got chased by a rocket and did ur flairs u had atleast like 20 / 30 secs without getting locked again by a rocket , in BF2042 , if u get locked on by something , and u do the flairs , they can lock on u again after liek 5 secs xd , ( sowy if my english sint that good :c )

[arctic grove]

Your English is good bro no worries

[shell reef]

Can make a whole breakfast in liss her reloud damn

[obsidian elk]

It's honestly such a good, fun map

[lone wren]

it takes multiple guys now to destroy one heli and or jet

[tacit sorrel]

Bf4 helis were op asf

[shell reef]

Reload

[fossil trench]

Didn’t one of the launch map remakes just come out or no?

[arctic grove]

Nope

[jolly sail]

have you seen bf3

[lucid osprey]

Not yet

[obsidian elk]

I think that's fine personally

One guy can still pressure them a shit-ton

[candid goblet]

controller on PC is still broken i see

[fossil trench]

When is the first one

[lucid osprey]

Sometime before august

[smoky plank]

Manifest got lightning

[candid goblet]

wonde rif they are ever gonna fix that

[arctic grove]

Weren’t bf3 and 4 helis pretty much the same? Except in 4 you now had to deal with attack planes

Also, I believe the first map rework is slated for August

[lone wren]

you love ya kill streaks with helis and jets for sure killing the ants that can barely fight back

[rain quest]

Exposure is really good. Def up the 24/7 mode sticks around. Makes all of the other 2042 maps seem like crap

[tacit sorrel]

Yea haven’t played since ps3 days tho

[slim quiver]

damn apache

[fossil trench]

Dude exposure is so much better than all of the launch maps

[arctic grove]

Exposure is a good change of direction for future 2042 map design, and rework design as well

[foggy tundra]

@still vault uwu papi

[lucid osprey]

I I leave them alone unless it's needed can't have people goin on a 40plus killstreak now

[fossil trench]

It’s not a empty field for once

[slim quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/dab-anime-gif-10617637

[jolly sail]

not really, different gun, you had to wait for reload in 4, tv was less dmg in 4 and gun shake in 4

[tacit sorrel]

Still op

[arctic grove]

One things for sure

Both were definitely too strong

[tacit sorrel]

Ppl could go 100-0

[obsidian elk]

Well think about it. If a single person in a 64 player game can not only threaten your vehicle, but reliably destroy it, do you really think that's a fair and fun gameplay experience?

It is true that you need to opt-in to anti armor. That alone means anti armor options need to feel powerful and reliable.

Their power, and reliability, come in the fact that you force flares and evasive tactics. You, by yourself, are able to completely change the way that person is playing the game, and you still want even more power in the ability to reliably destroy the vehicle too?

That's too much, man.

[rain quest]

only one new map sucks but man it’s such a good freaking map that it’s ok it’s all we got

[lone wren]

weird my 2042 is now not working

[fossil trench]

Yeah it was cancer

[jolly sail]

add a heli on enemy side and its fixed, no?

[lucid osprey]

I wonder what the next vehicle will be?

[fossil trench]

I’m glad to have actual balancing now

[obsidian elk]

Here have some more ⚖️

[arctic grove]

The vehicles are what left me on metro and locker in 4

I enjoyed tanking on Golmud tho

[rain quest]

Tanks got worse to use, all those freaking missile launchers and helos and anti armor

[lucid osprey]

We need the guided shell back for the tanks

[lone wren]

yeah i can agree

[arctic grove]

Armor in 2042 has to have been sent to purgatory

So many counters and the least they could get is a trophy system

[obsidian elk]

I'm glad

[fossil trench]

The new specialist doesn’t do as much damage though thankfully
