[dull carbon]

He hates people

[hexed mango]

the cringe ones that people hated

[alpine swallow]

@hexed mango doesnt change the fact that they have predetermined, cliche personalities.

[hexed mango]

like "dont be sad ..."

[hexed mango]

yeah but how are you gonna notice them

[alpine swallow]

Id rather have a class system instead of a specialist system. To me its more about naming since BF is a military game and not a hero shooter

[hexed mango]

you didnt answer me

[hexed mango]

BF is a video game, not a military simulator, not a hero sim either

[white lynx]

Do you think if the “specialist “ abilities and tools were selectable on a class basis with no characters you’d have no issue?

[alpine swallow]

Yep

[hexed mango]

that would ruin it

[alpine swallow]

Engineer, Recon, Assualt, Support

[white lynx]

I think that’s valid tho. Both of u guys have a good point it’s just subjective preference

[alpine swallow]

@hexed mango why do you want a hero shooter

[hexed mango]

its not a hero shooter

[alpine swallow]

It is though. Your player is defined by a character, not a class

[copper fulcrum]

its not a hero shooter

[white lynx]

Well hero shooter have classes too

Like tank healer dmg

[hexed mango]

a hero shooter implies that everything in relation to a character is unique
whereas, in this, only the ability is unique
everyone has the same pool of weapons, everyone has the same pool of gadgets.
its not a hero shooter.

[alpine swallow]

Not what I think a hero shooter is

[white lynx]

I agree with this. It has hero shooter inspiration maybe but that’s it

[hexed mango]

then its subjective, and i think you're wrong

[copper fulcrum]

Characters have one item and one ability but every other thing is up to the player

[alpine swallow]

A hero shooter is any game where a character has a unique ability

Like I said its about naming.

[white lynx]

By that logic classes are hero shooters tho

[alpine swallow]

Simply group specialists into classes

[copper fulcrum]

Whereas a hero shooter, every character is very different

[white lynx]

The engineer has different abilities to the medic

[elder patrol]

All I see in the damn kill feed is the m5

[alpine swallow]

@white lynx no, its not a character its a class. Its about naming. You arent unique in that account, thats why its not odd to see 50 of the same person running around

[hexed mango]

exactly, like in OW each person has a different gun

like even in OW only 1 guy (2 if you include lucio) can sprint

[copper fulcrum]

Most characters are vastly different in Hero Shooters, 2042 the characters are only really different by their one slot and a perk

[alpine swallow]

@copper fulcrum i think its arbitrary to define "vastly". In my definition all they need is to be unique in one aspect. Thats it

[white lynx]

Yeah. It’s about the character itself, not the abilities or whatnot . It’s focused around having distinguished likable characters with unique gameplay traits. Stories, and mechanics

[hexed mango]

a passive and a slotted gadget is all that separates characters in 2042

guess what, in other bf games, classes were different also by a gadget wow!
also guns, but tbh i like being able to use a sniper with anyone, or an smg with anyone

mainly because there are still "class" restrictions with the passive abilities and the gadgets that specialists have

[alpine swallow]

Classes made you feel a
part of something, characters make you feel alone but still see copies of yourself

[hexed mango]

tbh it makes gameplay move nicer

[hexed mango]

so yeah seeing only 4 skins/models per team is not clone at all

[dull carbon]

Lmao classes are also unique in one aspect. Medic can heal

[copper fulcrum]

Everyone can equip a medic bag though

However Falck can long range heal

[alpine swallow]

Are you illiterate.

[white lynx]

The reality is it does still feel like a battlefield game to me.

[dull carbon]

Im talking about "class" medic

[white lynx]

And the tools the specialists have just add to the sandbox element of bf

[copper fulcrum]

Because it absolutely 100% still is

[alpine swallow]

@dull carbon yes, because youre a medic. Not some maria faulk who has 40 clones of herself.

[dull carbon]

Classes are also literal clones

[alpine swallow]

Youre just a generic medic. Thats why its not.odd to see clones

@dull carbon but youre not given a unique name

Do I need to go over this again? ITS ABOUT NAMING

[white lynx]

I get what you’re saying

[dull carbon]

Lol my guy so your only gripe with the game is that you have a name

Ok sure

I'll be busy playing

[alpine swallow]

@dull carbon literally yes

[copper fulcrum]

You can simply ignore the naming aspect lol

[white lynx]

I would just turn off the voice lines

[restive magnet]

they should just classify each specialist under the old roles and then dictate which gadgets each specialist can equip based on that

[white lynx]

And wear skins that have helmets

[copper fulcrum]

Most Falcks I see cover up their faces anyways with the War Surgeon headgear

[alpine swallow]

@copper fulcrum no you cant lol. Because the naming aspect is what also defines the character and why the immersion breaks with the clones.

[hexed mango]

and tbh im glad that 2042 decided to change how BF works, i would kinda be bored if we kept getting the same thing over and over again
like BF Heroes, not really a great game, but something that gave a curveball to the BF franchise
i want more of 2042, not just the same game copied over and over again

[copper fulcrum]

And it still works as a Battlefield game

[hexed mango]

yeah but its just part of the game. that classification of individuals based on their abilities gives it meaning to be able to counter a specific class

[hexed mango]

exactly.

[alpine swallow]

Same thing over and over again yet you want them to copy other games? Why cant they stay true to what makes them unique?

So tired of that argument.

[copper fulcrum]

I like that having names for characters is copying other games lol

[alpine swallow]

There are somethings you cant change without losing your identity.

[copper fulcrum]

I hate this copy other games argument

[hexed mango]

they arent copying other games, they are using inspiration, they did not use the same characters or same even type of chracters from OW or Valorant or whatever, they adapted that style into a BF style.

[white lynx]

I’m okay with the@ trying new things and taking risks

[alpine swallow]

@copper fulcrum yes, because they clearly were trying to make it hero based. You are just in denial if you think otherwise.

[hexed mango]

._.

[white lynx]

But what battlefield should truly do is implement stuff that continues battlefields unique gameplay and legacy

[copper fulcrum]

Looks like you are

[alpine swallow]

There was no reason to change the class system unless they were trying to chase a trend.

The class system was not broken

[white lynx]

The class system wasn’t as marketable for skins tho

[hidden sand]

They were definitely attempting to hop onto the "hero" trend, but pointing that out is not good criticism of the system itself.

[hexed mango]

which tbh is what they've done with this
its still a BF game, and they have (IMO) spiced it up.

[alpine swallow]

The class system was what separates bf from other fps, why change that and make bf less unique? Whether or not you agree with their intent, bf is less unique now than before.

[white lynx]

Honestly I feel like they oringinally just had a bunch of abilities but EA wanted them to make characters to sell skins and bp

[hexed mango]

plus, updates as of late have added better gameplay elements, like the assists update in 1.0

[copper fulcrum]

Smoke Assists made people use smoke more often which is nice

[hexed mango]

i mean this isnt the first game they've sold skins in

[copper fulcrum]

Cough BFV Cough

[white lynx]

That’s just my theory

[hexed mango]

Cough BF1 Cough

[copper fulcrum]

oh and BF1 with it's guns and vehicles

[hexed mango]

ye

Cough SWBF1/2 Cough

[white lynx]

I mean look at how much money fortnite makes from skins

[worthy inlet]

Bf1 skins

[copper fulcrum]

cough Hardline

[alpine swallow]

They can easily have soldier customization without characters.

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah that's sort of our point

[worthy inlet]

Those legendary skins in bf1 still haven't been beaten in later games

[white lynx]

Hot take!!!! Hardline was really good at the time and it’s sad it died so fast

[copper fulcrum]

I dislike the BF1 Legendary skins tbh

[hidden sand]

SWBF1 didn't have paid cosmetics. Just DLC.

[copper fulcrum]

all of them

[alpine swallow]

BF1 customization was lacking. Although had a lot of cool skins

[worthy inlet]

[hexed mango]

i agree. and tbh hardline is the same case as 2042, its a unique gameplay style in a BF game
i loved it

[white lynx]

I really hated bf1 and 5, and I haven’t played bf much since 4/HL

[copper fulcrum]

I enjoyed the basic skins BF1 had though

Like a different color or adding a camo

[alpine swallow]

Bf1 vehicle skins were great

[copper fulcrum]

lmao you just reminded me of the god awful French Flag one

[worthy inlet]

The basic skins for bf1 were almost all bad imo

[hidden sand]

BF1 had the best firearm skins in the series to date imo.

[white lynx]

I am just a modern / future mil guy. I’ve used enoigh mp40 s and BARs for a lifetime

[worthy inlet]

Outside the varnished wood ones

[hidden sand]

The most unique and visually interesting they've ever gotten.

[alpine swallow]

What I liked about bf1 skins is they really made them unique to the weapon

Not just copy pasted skins like bf4

[copper fulcrum]

Skins were just camo painted on the gun

[white lynx]

Bf4 definitely shows it’s age. The gunplay is very awkward

[worthy inlet]

Bf1 gold skins that were really fancy and designed well, then going to bfv and the gold skins were AWFUL

[alpine swallow]

Should be expected though, its 9 years old now.

[hidden sand]

Careful now, you'll have 10 people explaining why camos is actually far better than anything else and that BF4 is the best game to ever grace this earth

[copper fulcrum]

Some of the camos did look nice though

[worthy inlet]

The mp34 gold skin had different colours and textures for each piece, so much so that the sights looked like they were made of plastic

[copper fulcrum]

but that's about it

[grizzled whale]

Wrong, 2042 is the best game to ever grace this earth

[white lynx]

Bf4 camos are good and bad. They’re free. They’re realistic. But they don’t have the appeal of modern canos

[copper fulcrum]

Absolutely correct

[hidden sand]

I was always surprised at just how bad the BBFV gold skins looked in comparison.

[white lynx]

Hey angel do you think that “MVP” in hazard zone would count as wins ?

[grizzled whale]

Still havent seen your stats @copper fulcrum

[copper fulcrum]

and you won't

[grizzled whale]

L

[copper fulcrum]

Sucks that the good skins were either limited time or paid

Tripoli V or whatever being the best gun skins

that or Jager which is also paid

[hidden sand]

Tripoli followed BF1s style which is what made it so damn good

[copper fulcrum]

Survivalist should've been for all guns dammit, it's a good winter skin

[hidden sand]

One thing about BF1 skins is that they never stood out, they did a really good job at matching them with the visual sryle of the rest of the game

Limited time cosmetics are lame, just glad Tripoli is still around

[keen loom]

I don’t talk to white names ohhh

[copper fulcrum]

I'm happy I can make Rao look like this

Look at that beard tho

[dull carbon]

I use the same skin just with the coverart helmet

Wish he had a beard

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah he shaves for Observer

[hidden sand]

He reminds me of Cylons from Battlestar Galactica with that helmet lol

[arctic grove]

https://youtu.be/RHGifpnyG_g

[next onyx]

Jager, Tripoli V, night ops and blued were the best skins.

Oh can't forget about megaladon and white Tiger.

[hidden sand]

Jäger having a green and brown colour scheme, coincidence? I think not!

[next onyx]

Apparently it's an adhd thing with the green but i mean, that green just looks nice.

Since it isn't overpowering.

[hidden sand]

An adhd thing?

[next onyx]

I'm not sure.

[dull plover]

Ayyyy Kaleidoscope…I don’t remember how I liked this one during the trial at launch

[next onyx]

Had people saying it to me but whatever.

Haha Green and Brown go brr.

[hidden sand]

Ah, I was just joking about a potential reference to Eren Jäger from AoT, who has green eyes and brown hair.

[white lynx]

Only achievements left are wheeled warrior and escape Artist

[arctic grove]

wait until the skin is available in the store. I wouldnt past dice to do that. I wonder when they will drop the anime skins they promised

[hidden sand]

Nah I was talking about the Jäger set from BFV.

[arctic grove]

Oof

wrong Jager

[next onyx]

Ah! I wouldn't know LMAO.

[safe verge]

the sheer audacity to keep drone c5's

[analog fractal]

Glad they kept it, it's stuff like that which makes BF special

[safe verge]

https://tenor.com/view/rotationplasty-cope-rotation-gif-22939853

[analog fractal]

No need to cope, they kept it

Mald

[safe verge]

you just suck at aiming

[inner sun]

2042 blessed the earth

[analog fractal]

I don't even know what you're talking about, but keep crying

[thick shadow]

Anglais

Wtf bruh

I meant angel

[undone bone]

@safe verge Lets not.

[inner sun]

what you guys think its the most unused gun in 2042

[ebon pilot]

GVT 45-70

aka the lever action

[grizzled whale]

Bro the gvt is amazing

[ebon pilot]

The fact that it's lever action I think makes people not realize that it does 110 damage within 20 meters

[undone bone]

As far as actual shots taken, the M44 probably. Haven't seen anyone consistently use it since the pre-order early access.

[ebon pilot]

I use it, I have 50 kills on it

[undone bone]

https://tenor.com/view/those-are-big-numbers-ryan-bruce-riffs-beards-and-gear-thats-a-lot-of-numbers-thats-a-huge-number-gif-18586564

[grizzled whale]

Its bugged

[quiet shell]

Crossbows and bows are cool and all, what what if we gave Dozer a sword to go with his shield

[visual horizon]

winner

@DICE, can we make this happen?

Where's our resident weapons designer, Alex?

[quiet shell]

Can we get a ping on Alex or Vanta to get Dozer his sword?

[visual horizon]

i wouldn't ping

[visual horizon]

if they're in here later, just forward the message

[tired cave]

[undone bone]

We ask that EA employees not be pinged unless they're currently active in chat.

[bitter skiff]

wasnt there a "poke" button in one of the social media platforms? I cant remember which...

[bleak tide]

Facebook probably

[violet meteor]

Nice to come on and no heated argument

Also, I'm the best battlefield player

[quiet shell]

Shhhh the arguers are sleeping dont wake them up

[ebon pilot]

#stats or fake

[violet meteor]

Stats are lies

[visual horizon]

fake

[quiet shell]

I'm the best battlefield player, at dying

[violet meteor]

Seethe and cope noobs

[bitter skiff]

holy F

"does anybody remember laughter?"

[undone bone]

It was indeed facebook

[bitter skiff]

in my experience it was aptly named, only the most annoying people of vague aquaintance used it. "Poke THIS" I would think!

[violet meteor]

Your breath smells

[bitter skiff]

what?

[foggy halo]

ignore him, he's weird like a lot of people here.

[bitter skiff]

dude, I dont take any shit from dirtbrained ps5 .... ahem....'PLAYERS' KMA dood

[foggy halo]

@violet meteorstop being weird it's not nice

[bitter skiff]

Integrity = ZERO

[chrome obsidian]

I see that you decided to speak facts today sir

[violet meteor]

Weird isn't nice?

[jovial jay]

how's the updated performance ? Is it worth going back, considering the fact that there's only 1 new map

[violet meteor]

Odd thing to say

[jovial jay]

I see the player count picked up again

but only 1 new map after many months doesn't sound really exciting

[hexed mango]

tons of bug fixes aswell tho

[jovial jay]

so has the game morbed

[hexed mango]

indeed.

[jovial jay]

because last time I played it the only thing I get is fps drop

even though I run BFV at 100fps+

[hexed mango]

player trend is really good though, specially coming into the weekend, seems to be picking up from an already impressive 7k average during the weekdays

[obsidian elk]

viable

[hexed mango]

i just chucked c5 everywhere

[jovial jay]

C5 drone hasn't been removed ? I thought someone say it's going to be gone soon

[hexed mango]

since everyone wants to compare these two, i would like to let everyone know that 2042 has averaged more than Infinite recently

however, its also interesting to note that the peaks of both games are inverse

(for the most part)

[jovial jay]

halo infinite is as boring as watching paint dry

[hexed mango]

@dusky hearth would agree

[dusky hearth]

yes

100

[hexed mango]

im just happy that 2042 has decent player count now

[dusky hearth]

this man speaks of truth

[hexed mango]

and not just 3k max

[dusky hearth]

and the best part is, battlefield has mostly retained the initial wave of audience which came during the season update

Halo infinite had 20k players on steam during season 2 release, in one day, it fell alll the way done to 3-5k

[hexed mango]

tbh i dont think 2042 deserves the reviews it has on steam anymore

[jovial jay]

honestly if the performance is better I'll return, since the only thing that threw me off was the constant fps drop

[hexed mango]

ive been getting 90fps but ive heard that not everyone is the same

[dusky hearth]

people r lazy, they will never come back to change their reviews

[hexed mango]

ik which is sad

[obsidian elk]

The sucky part is that the vast majority of people don't care enough or forget to update their reviews even if a game gets better

[hexed mango]

i wish steam reviews expired lmao

[dusky hearth]

May I ask, what are your specs?

[dusky hearth]

lul

[jovial jay]

yea I guess I'll return to it for a try

[obsidian elk]

This is the reason why No Man's Sky only recently went from Mixed to Positive despite being in a much better state for years

[next onyx]

Peoples first impression will be waht they keep with.

This game was not good at launch and it is getting better.

[hexed mango]

like you'd have to rereview or update your review after 6 months or smth lol

[chrome obsidian]

Close minded people

[dusky hearth]

Don't use this dude's words as a referral, his PC costs more than both my kidneys

[next onyx]

They have been making genuine changers and as someone who hated this game at launch. This game is significantly more fun than it was.

[visual horizon]

it's not that op

[hexed mango]

shut up

[winter vault]

Bf6 announcement can’t come soon enough

[dusky hearth]

heheheha

[jovial jay]

RTX 2060, 32GB Ram, SSD, I7 9750H, it's a pesky laptop but it ran BFV pretty well, everything choked in 2042

[obsidian elk]

Better system:

Encourage Steam users to update reviews for games after the game has received X amount of updates, or an update after X amount of time has passed.

Updated reviews that gain positive ratings will result in steam points.

[hexed mango]

exactly. i just wish steam reviews would reflect that

[dusky hearth]

yes u can run the game

[visual horizon]

i'd say the game is good now, it'll be great with time

[dusky hearth]

that is a pretty smoking hot pc, sheeeesh

[hexed mango]

it you're fine

[chrome obsidian]

I really like the battlepass and the new map is quite an upgrade to what we had xD

[dusky hearth]

good for you man!

[next onyx]

Also, A jumping Boris.

[hexed mango]

[next onyx]

Actually surprised me.

[hexed mango]

you mean... Bunny.

[next onyx]

Nah, It's just some Boris player.

[arctic grove]

I'm always have a bad FPS count but even with that i enjoy the game

[obsidian elk]

I think that should work fine in 2042

[arctic grove]

[obsidian elk]

GPU is on the lower end but still good enough

[hexed mango]

like this is sad

[visual horizon]

new skin for tech guy is cool as hell

[dusky hearth]

bro how is that in the lower end

[obsidian elk]

Which one

[obsidian elk]

We're talking about the 2060

[next onyx]

It's sad but it's the reality that should be looked at.

[visual horizon]

the bundle

[dusky hearth]

yes

2060 very good

better than my 1050 ti

[obsidian elk]

Hold on, is there new stuff in the store already?

[next onyx]

If you release a product in a shit state. You're going to get negative feedback.

Yeah there's a Rao bundle.

[obsidian elk]

That doesn't mean anything.

[next onyx]

EA being EA they don't understand that.

[obsidian elk]

Holy fuck, new stuff this soon?

That's actually exciting af

[next onyx]

Yep.

[obsidian elk]

I'm gonna go look

[dusky hearth]

I would just consider a 2060 to be midrange rather than low

but it doesn't really matter

[obsidian elk]

I love it when cash shops get updated

because I just really enjoy cosmetics

ty dice

I didn't buy the lis pack though

[dusky hearth]

The cowboy skin is best

[obsidian elk]

because I don't play her

[next onyx]

The skin looks whatever.

Her base skins are better.

[chrome obsidian]

The use of resources has improved compared to before, but it still uses mostly the cpu. My 2070 is decent to run the game in high at decent framerates but ofc my ryzen 7 denies me the 60 fps xD

[dusky hearth]

lol

[obsidian elk]

wait

wait that rao skin is nuts

holy

it's so good wtf..

[hexed mango]

the new one?

[next onyx]

It's actually pretty good.

Yeah.

It's unique.

[hexed mango]

yep

the jeep skin with it aswell is fire

[obsidian elk]

For real

[hexed mango]

im so glad my boy got a bundle

[obsidian elk]

Okay @ Dice I'm convinced

here's your swipe

💳

[hexed mango]

lol

i still have 2.7k Boins left

[slim quiver]

ughhh

[visual horizon]

yeah

[hexed mango]

little late

[obsidian elk]

🅱️oins

[visual horizon]

looks like they'll be adding a new bundle each week

[obsidian elk]

God I hope so

[hexed mango]

i hope so aswell

[violet meteor]

[obsidian elk]

Also can we please talk about the background art for the bundles in the store?

Like that is some seriously high quality artwork

[violet meteor]

Why am I so good?

[obsidian elk]

for cosmetics

[slim quiver]

I just remembered Loid looks like one of my favorite anime characters of all time

[violet meteor]

[obsidian elk]

Which one?

[violet meteor]

Oh yeah

Cuz I ptfo

[slim quiver]

Johan Liebert

[obsidian elk]

He looks very depressed lol

[slim quiver]

hes a psychopath so

[hexed mango]

lowkey pretty hot

[slim quiver]

I hope they re release the missed skins

[umbral island]

h

[slim quiver]

like I missed a skin because I was away for 2 weeks for a job

[umbral island]

h

[slim quiver]

so i hope they re release pre season skins

[obsidian elk]

It's funny because I tend to use profile pics of characters that look like me/characters I identify with

I don't actually physically look like Loid

[umbral island]

My pf is me

[obsidian elk]

I only decorated my profile in this way to match with someone

[slim quiver]

awww

[obsidian elk]

Yeah, she's Yor

I'm Loid

[slim quiver]

Cute

[obsidian elk]

[slim quiver]

I actually need to see that shit theyre planning to drop for cosmetic bundles

[obsidian elk]

I really like how Angel is almost always smiling

Tbh I'm not afraid to say that I really love the specialists and their characterization

voice acting is quality too

The cringe post-game voice lines really ruined the overall impression of them

I'm glad those are gone

[amber kiln]

What is the point of the bonus weekly mission if the rest of the missions are also weekly? Or can you redo them later if you missed them?

[slim quiver]

@naive trellis Oh my god....

@next onyx

[obsidian elk]

I also like how Casper has this professional, reserved vibe

[slim quiver]

way WAY

hold on let me ping you elsewhere

[obsidian elk]

Also sometimes Casper says "thank you" in a really adorable way with the commo rose Thank You voice lines

And Dozer is just a no nonsense badass

In my opinion people really underrate the degree of characterization that went into specialists and their personalities

even down to their animations, like Angel's occasional smile

The only one that's annoying to me is Sundance but that's because haughtiness is one of her personality traits, and they nailed the mark on that one, so I can't really hate them for doing something right

[slim quiver]

Most people just look at things at face value, they see about half of the tech thats present that was put into these characters

[foggy halo]

That was the creepy kind of weird

[obsidian elk]

At least they exist for those of us who have eyes to see. I'm proud of the devs for that.

[sweet barn]

are the season pass operators locked behind a paywall?

[slim quiver]

agreed

[next onyx]

No, Yom.

[slim quiver]

theres a lot of small details people will miss

[sweet barn]

then what are you paying for

😂

[obsidian elk]

Nothing gameplay-related is going to be locked. Only cosmetics

[next onyx]

70 more tiers.

Of cosmetics.

[obsidian elk]

and even then there are still free 'smetics

[slim quiver]

just like cod, theres tiers that exist you cant get without premium

[arctic grove]

For skins

[slim quiver]

honestly the battlepass i get for free for 4 of them

so im really just saving up the coins to be able to purchase every BP with the coins from now on

and since ill have 4 BP's for free included in my purchase

[sweet barn]

you can purchase previous battle passes?

[slim quiver]

it will be easy

[next onyx]

Not too sure Yom.

[slim quiver]

most likely no

[next onyx]

I'll just be buying things I really want.

[slim quiver]

it doesnt look like halo style

[sweet barn]

so they will lower season pass cost with every battle pass or what

[slim quiver]

no

[sweet barn]

otherwise you are paying for thin air

[slim quiver]

no it doesnt really work that way

[next onyx]

We'll see what they do.

[slim quiver]

you play a battlepass

earn coins to get next battlepass

[sweet barn]

40$

The Battlefield™ 2042 Year 1 Pass (Starting Early Summer) contains:
4 New Specialists (1 per Season of the Year 1 Pass)
4 Battle Passes (1 per Season of the Year 1 Pass)
3 Epic Skin Bundles (”Blistered Earth”, ”Tempest”, and ”Cold Blood”)

[next onyx]

You'll most likely be retroactively compensated.

[obsidian elk]

Chat, with the new patch, the Origin notification for "chat, broadcast, stream" etc. is popping up every time I tab back into the game. Is there a way to disable that? I glanced at the settings and didn't find it.

[slim quiver]

yeah well this is why buying the good edition was literally 160 dollars in itself in value

people making fun of ultimate users

look at us now

4 free battlepasses

[obsidian elk]

[slim quiver]

Dice wanted us to be able to dab on the haters

and we just did

[sweet barn]

ultimate edition is already 30% off by the time first season released tho

[obsidian elk]

Imagine not having Ultimate Edition

kinda cringe

[slim quiver]

to be fair i think gold edition also has 4 seasons of BP

[foggy halo]

but you didn't play the game for 7 months

[slim quiver]

You're right i didnt

and thats fine

[obsidian elk]

I didn't either...

[slim quiver]

the season didnt start for 7 months

[obsidian elk]

I only started playing last week

I follow my intuition

[slim quiver]

i played for about 24 hours

[obsidian elk]

I had a feeling the game was good now

and it is

[slim quiver]

and then i stopped playing for 7 months

[next onyx]

Game was shit at launch, Since then it's gonna much better.

[violet meteor]

Explain yourself peasant

[obsidian elk]

You accidentally a word

[slim quiver]

the game is in a much better state, its still lacking but now I know it has potential

[next onyx]

Perrinoid drop it.

[slim quiver]

i dont think it will be an amazing bf game, but it has the potential to be decent

[sweet barn]

there is no guarantee that they will not can the game after releasing 4 lackluster obligatory seasons tho

[violet meteor]

I didn't choose to play the objective, the objective chose me.

[slim quiver]

wouldnt matter if they did or not, its a win win scenario for me

heres the way i see it

[violet meteor]

I'm the Mr. Lahey of objectives

[obsidian elk]

My brother in christ, the game got 10x better from a single season update, and that's not counting the other updates they did to plug all the holes

[slim quiver]

if they dont abandon the game it could get better

if they do abandon the game

[violet meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-moment-fall-funny-gif-14683854

[slim quiver]

good the next BF is coming

[foggy halo]

lol trolled

[slim quiver]

win win scenario

[next onyx]

I wouldn't mind them supporting this game for a bit until the new one is out.

[slim quiver]

got to look at the positives

I want the next bf game to be a spin off

also make the next bf game next gen only

fuck cross gen

[obsidian elk]

4 seasons means the next battlefield is at least two years away

[slim quiver]

that shit already held back this game I dont want it to happen again

im so sick of cross gen

takes 3-4 fucking years to get decent games built for a new console

[violet meteor]

There's never a guarantee. You can be an optimistic or pessimist.

[obsidian elk]

Origin notification for "chat, broadcast, stream" etc. is popping up every time I tab back into the game. Is there a way to disable that? I glanced at the settings and didn't find it.

[violet meteor]

I choose to be an optimistic man myself

[obsidian elk]

I wish gamers didn't have such a taboo against re-used assets

then we would see games develop far more smoothly and in less time

It still might take two years but at least it's not 3-4

[next onyx]

Give us a battlefield game when they know they can release it.

Without EA Rushing it.

[violet meteor]

Big ask mod

Don't hold your breath

[next onyx]

Eh I know what's going to really happen.

So there's no point in being optimistic until they can actually show they care.

[obsidian elk]

The thing is, even a company as murderous as EA knows that Dice is too big to just can.

[violet meteor]

Matter of perspective

[obsidian elk]

EA is notorious for killing companies when they don't suit their expectations

But Dice is way too big

[violet meteor]

Stick to birds and food I guess

[obsidian elk]

it's like if Palpatine killed Vader

they are two parts of the same coin

[violet meteor]

Also....the birds

[slim quiver]

they dont understand most games are made this way

[violet meteor]

Just get rid of the birds

[obsidian elk]

I'm really glad to see how insightful you are

[violet meteor]

Lol what is with the flocks?

[obsidian elk]

I'm glad there are at least some people here that can converse with me on my level

[violet meteor]

Wouldn't call it insight

[obsidian elk]

But that's not what optimism actually means

Outside influence has no influence on optimism

That's why it's called optimism

It's coming from you

internally.

[violet meteor]

Wrong

You form an optimistic or pessimistic view based on what is being presented

[next onyx]

I just say it like that in the same context of hope. Looking forward, Being excited, That's optimistic for me. But all I fear is the scary precedent it'll set for future games.

[violet meteor]

The hell are you talking about

[obsidian elk]

Yeah, you're on the right track now.

Hope and optimism are separate concepts.

[next onyx]

I had to spell it out better but I still associate them as the same.

[obsidian elk]

I understand now what you meant.

[violet meteor]

Hope in one hand and shit in the other 😉

[obsidian elk]

Everyone has their own mental dictionary; won't judge you for combining hope and optimism.

I'm just glad we got to clarify that.

[violet meteor]

You should read this again

[obsidian elk]

Has anyone else been experiencing the new bug with the patch where the Origin popup at the bottom right keeps showing up?

It's easy to ignore, but still annoying.

[next onyx]

No.

[obsidian elk]

[violet meteor]

No, I play console

I'm optimistic about not encountering that issue. And if I encounter that issue, ima need a tissue.

[violet meteor]

What are you doing

[bleak tide]

I had such a weird dream last night

A hovercraft from 2042 was outside so I got in and I went off this small ramp and it just started flying

[violet meteor]

I've been seeing the reticle I use for my bsvm scope

[bleak tide]

I flew around then woke up

Lmao

[violet meteor]

I don't even play much

Think I played 2 hours today

Hovercraft do be flying though lol

Or..hovering I guess

[bleak tide]

Nah it was really flying

[violet meteor]

Damn, mod really fucked off

[bleak tide]

Like flying flying

[violet meteor]

Don't tell anyone else or they are gonna add wings to it lmao

[obsidian elk]

Tfw hovercraft becomes....hovercraft

[violet meteor]

Does it still climb buildings?

[bleak tide]

I don’t know

[restive magnet]

Playing 2042 the last week has made me want to play more BFV again. but I also want to T1 a bunch of things in 2042….hmmmm

[violet meteor]

So....do both

Problem solved

🤷‍♂️ 🥲

[dull carbon]

😳

[restive magnet]

Naw, not enough time to do both lol

[dull carbon]

Then do one

Problem solved

[obsidian elk]

Nothing is more beautiful than a Tier One SU-57 imo

[restive magnet]

The atmosphere/pacific maps on BFV are so good. Especially on breakthrough

[violet meteor]

They gotta run it by us first ryan for validation

Cmon we've been through this before

[restive magnet]

I can’t fly for shit so out of the questions lol

[obsidian elk]

ehh

My issue with the fighters in this game is the hypersensitivity on A/D

since I fly using keyboard

it's really hard for me to keep the reticle trained on an aircraft

I don't often get much dps with the cannon because of that

It like slides around

and I don't know what to do to fix it

[restive magnet]

I’ve tried with keyboard and with controller. Neither is intuitive for me for whatever reason

[bleak tide]

How does flying a heli work on bf4 pc

[obsidian elk]

Keyboard is intuitive to me but my problem isn't with the intuitive aspect

It's more of the functional aspect.

[violet meteor]

Skill issue

[bleak tide]

I need to get bf4 on pc

I have it on Xbox one ps3 and 4

[violet meteor]

You'd definitely find servers still

Prolly on 1 too if you liked it

[bleak tide]

People say 4 is dead on Xbox

[violet meteor]

Idk but you seem like you have options

[bleak tide]

But I played mid day uk time (while everyone was a work/school) but it was fairly active

[violet meteor]

Ah

I think you're good

[bleak tide]

Ye

I have the 4 most recent bf games on ps4 and one

Except 2042 which I only have on ps

[violet meteor]

No for real, harder on console with analog sticks

[bleak tide]

Wait really?

[violet meteor]

Yeah

Jets are just in a bad place in general

😢

And progression sucks ass

[bleak tide]

2042 or 4

I’m assuming 4 which yea

I’m only like level 60 I think and I end up having to play about 6 hours to level up once

[obsidian elk]

Ironically enough I think it would be easier for me on a controller because I think the game defaults to maximum turn values when I press A and D on a keyboard

At least on a controller I can fine-tune how far I correct my aim when the aircraft is flying around my reticle

It makes me hyper-reliant on laser guided missiles

[violet meteor]

You'd be surprised

[bleak tide]

2042 I can play a single match and level up like twice in 1 match and I’m around the same level as 4

[obsidian elk]

Then again, I did see sensitivity settings for aircraft on PC, I just haven't fiddled with those yet to see if they would fix my issues.

[violet meteor]

I'm optimistic

[obsidian elk]

There's one thing the game does right, and that's how many freaking settings there are, lol.

[bleak tide]

If you’re struggling with hells go into the shooting range and over by the east beach there’s some barrels which I use to sort of keep my reticle on while flying

Helps for me

[obsidian elk]

I will consider it.

I appreciate the recommendation.

[bleak tide]

Ye

[slim quiver]

I have 0 optimism for this game

also 0 expectations

so I can no longer be disappointed

[unborn herald]

thats what everyone says

[slim quiver]

it took me about a month to realize it after the game launched

[violet meteor]

If you want to get better at aiming

Aim at stuff and shoot it more

best of tips

[visual horizon]

i think it's getting much better, slowly but surely, i'm at least excited

[slim quiver]

we will see

im waiting for cosmetics to actually come out

that will be a big determination for me to like the game because it will tell me how much the devs care about their own vision vs loud minority on social media

backing out of santa boris release made me lose a lot of respect

[violet meteor]

....wut

There's a lot of cosmetics that just came out

[slim quiver]

right

but they dont interest me

my point is that where they take the customization is a big factor for me

are they going to stick with basic stuff

or is it going to get more creative

[violet meteor]

So you're not really waiting, just disappointed

[slim quiver]

im still waiting

for something good

[violet meteor]

Lol

[slim quiver]

some of the skins you need to pay for in that shop are just camos

something I should be able to earn for free

so it doesnt make much sense to me yet

[violet meteor]

I don't think you're gonna get what you think you're gonna get

🤷‍♂️

But that's just me

I'll be optimistic for the both of us

[topaz field]

this guy xQc currently has 56k streamers on twitch watching him play bf2042 insaneee

[uncut bay]

well yeah it's xqc

he could play tic tac toe and he'd get thousands

[topaz field]

i had no idea who he was i just had to google him

[uncut bay]

super popular guy

shame that his fanbase will parrot anything he says though

so if he starts criticising the game it's a yikes

[topaz field]

lmaoo i just saw him rage at the robot dog

lmao

[slim quiver]

I dont think so either

i think its just going to be really underwhelming

[topaz field]

omfg this guy has anger issues lmfaoo

[slim quiver]

which is whatever because cod comes out in october so that will meet my expectations

[obsidian elk]

The thing that always gets me about xqc is the way he says "dude" without the E

he just says "dud"

[next onyx]

@uncut bay Look a Boris.

[obsidian elk]

he literally annunciates the word without the E and it's hilarious

[next onyx]

Dude literally jumped out of nowhere lmao.

[obsidian elk]

Holy shit the comedic timing on that is so perfect

He jumped so high too

Lmao

[next onyx]

Surprised me.

[uncut bay]

perfection

[obsidian elk]

I would not stop laughing if I was in your position there

[soft badge]

guys why bf2042 fps is still shit

i mean i have rtx 2080 and i9 9900k

getting 90-115 fps still

[next onyx]

That's not that bad.

[obsidian elk]

My brother in christ

are you complaining

[next onyx]

What settings are you running?

[obsidian elk]

about 90 fps

[soft badge]

all low

[obsidian elk]

What resolution?

[violet meteor]

Dude says my brother in christ alot

[soft badge]

1920

[next onyx]

Your CPU could use an upgrade soon.

[violet meteor]

Is this a meme or something

[next onyx]

That's a big part of it too.

[soft badge]

9900k was the best of all @next onyx

[next onyx]

Good CPU, But it's a bit oldish now.

[uncut bay]

keyword: was

[soft badge]

yea but i dont have money 😄 and economy is shit in my country 😄

[violet meteor]

High fps automatically equals good game no matter what

[uncut bay]

the 1060 was pretty good back in its day haha

[violet meteor]

Peasants

[uncut bay]

though tbf it still holds up very well

[next onyx]

Yeah that's unfortunate Dogu. Sorry to hear about that.

[soft badge]

yea ggs 😄

[next onyx]

To be fair for how it's running with a 1060 and a 9900K, that's not too bad.

I was with some dude who use using a 970TI I think with a 5950X.

His CPU was literally carrying him.

[soft badge]

9900k is 2 year old cpu bro

[next onyx]

It's 5 years old.

[soft badge]

what

[next onyx]

Almost 5 years.

[obsidian elk]

It's still good, but the real limiting factor in the i9 9900k was that it pushed forward core counts when higher core counts weren't performing very well.

Nowadays you have an i5-12600k with 10 cores that actually outperforms i9 9900k significantly

I don't think there ever was a 970 Ti

[next onyx]

Wait hang on.

[soft badge]

hmm okay

[obsidian elk]

The 6gb version was a completely different card from the 3gb version though

1060 6gb was the 3060 Ti of its time

it just didn't have the Ti moniker

[next onyx]

Yeah it was released almost 4 years old.

[uncut bay]

ya should've specified

[next onyx]

Yeah I got confused with the naming.

[uncut bay]

i had a 1060 6gb up until jan this year, did suprisingly well on almost anything i threw at it

[violet meteor]

Been a minute but how I'd be playing 2042 on pc lmao

[next onyx]

I've heard rather good things about the 10 series cards.

[obsidian elk]

Nvidia cards have insane longevity now.

[next onyx]

They still put up a good life.

Hearing how much of a boom there next GPU's are I wonder about that.

I got a 3080 and that should last me until the 50 series.

[violet meteor]

This just looks so cool

[obsidian elk]

Minor misconception of the masses; it's not that the 10 series are so good and long-lasting, it's that it was the first series of Nvidia cards that began that trend. All Nvidia cards are overpowered now. This is great because you can buy the lower end SKU's and still use it for quite a while.

[violet meteor]

I know it's a heat map but damn

[obsidian elk]

It just started with the 10 series.

[violet meteor]

I kinda wanna see how the other maps have been doing. First 2042 map I've seen like that

I thought they said they were adding more cover

[foggy halo]

I bought my pc 2 years before bf2042 launch and the game doesn’t run smoothly on it on medium settings

[next onyx]

Miki had a 1080ti that lasted until today.

Well last year actually.

But damn.

[violet meteor]

Hm, maybe a better discussion for technology?

🤷‍♂️

[next onyx]

Eh It's a whatever.

[violet meteor]

Word

[foggy halo]

My Nvidia cards lasted 3 years

but it was in 2019 and 2016

[dull carbon]

My ps5 gon last me 7 years

Cope

[violet meteor]

And seethe

[foggy halo]

cursed

[dull carbon]

[violet meteor]

Me and Ryan been playing this game with no issues on ps5 for months now lol

[foggy halo]

@dull carbonis that you in the photo?

[dull carbon]

Yeah

Wait this one?

[violet meteor]

That's him before he got fat

Should see him now

[foggy halo]

@dull carbonI want to punch you lol

LOLOLOL

[dull carbon]

The laughing guy is some Lebanese politician

My pfp is me

Yes im hot

[violet meteor]

Those are the only kinds of pics he shares on the other discord. Sad faced mirror selfies

[dull carbon]

You love it

[violet meteor]

I miss fat ryan

Start eating again please

[dull carbon]

Fat Ryan is always with us

In our hearts

[slim quiver]

1080ti is still fire @next onyx

[dull carbon]

[violet meteor]

Bring this ryan back

[dull carbon]

No im hot now

[violet meteor]

Eat some fried food damn it

[dull carbon]

I dont wanna be fat again

[violet meteor]

Stop doing exercise and sit down

People want to punch skinny ryan apparently

[dull carbon]

Yeah because im too hot

[violet meteor]

It's funny, you were so fat your nose lost weight too

Please, bring fat ryan back

[dull carbon]

I have a lot of fat ryan pics

Want sum

[violet meteor]

Nah save it for the onlyfans

[dull carbon]

[violet meteor]

Once again your photo killed computer parts chat

[dull carbon]

Dead server gg wp

[violet meteor]

They were on a roll too

[next onyx]

And it would be, Yes!

[violet meteor]

Oh nvm

Mod gotta get the last word in ryan

[dull carbon]

My 2042 tag is Kill Machine

[violet meteor]

Let's just get fat together and become a lebanese/American fat dynamic

[dull carbon]

I kill servers

[violet meteor]

You kill burgers

[dull carbon]

Too

[violet meteor]

Boigers

Ryan I have to sleep stop replying

Some of us work for a living

[dull carbon]

@violet meteor ok

[violet meteor]

Let us kiss

[dull carbon]

Goodnight dad

[violet meteor]

Goodnight son

[karmic phoenix]

cant find a match at all :/

[night minnow]

i did multiple times multikill with granade, granade lancher but still i can't complete week 2 mission for explosive multikill... any trick?

[violet meteor]

Rockets, c5

Lis

[slate inlet]

are multikills considered 2 or more kills or 3 or more or what?

[winter ridge]

all i gotta say this update has got me back to bf2042 fucking great job devs keep it up

[night minnow]

if it's 3+ kills it's hard for me... with c5

[slate inlet]

c5 is ez asf

the c5 drone tactic is still op asf

especially on breakthrough when most of the enemies are cluttered together

[slim quiver]

rocket launchers need to be nerfed

not against vehicles, but against infantry

[slate inlet]

nah rocket launchers arent that op

[main pollen]

i thought rockets only do major damage on direct hit on infantry at least lis

[slim quiver]

like its so cringe to watch people use weapons meant to take down vehicles but on infantry

[slim quiver]

complete lie

people shoot lis rockets at the ground near my feet and i die with 100%

[night minnow]

hmm interesting 😄

[main pollen]

i never really be getting shot like that with a rocket so i wouldn’t know too much fr

[foggy halo]

But then the campers won’t use them at all, and tanks will farm the inf

[slate inlet]

it shouldnt be a one hit kill even if ur at 100

[slim quiver]

people shooting recoiless m5 rockets at people for 100

[slate inlet]

direct or non direct hit the max dmg i take is 60

[slim quiver]

right people only use them to farm infantry

[next onyx]

I don't mind the fact that rockets can kill the way they are, It's definitely obnoxious though.

[slim quiver]

the problem is dice is becoming bethesda

issues that should have been fixed 5 battlefields ago still exist

[next onyx]

If on about Lis rockets, her rockets can only kill in one hit on direct impact.

[main pollen]

ohh so its only lis’s that does that gotchu

[next onyx]

By the way I snooped around with some stats. The vector is stronger than the m5 with short barrel and close combat.

At a range mind you.

And in terms of ammo too.

[main pollen]

lmg’s be shredding 2

[next onyx]

LMG's are fun.

Short barrel standard extended LCMG go brr.

[main pollen]

most definitely especially on a wave of infantry

[next onyx]

It reminds me of the Selbstlader 1916 from battlefield 1 with that metallic wringing in it's firing sound.

[foggy halo]

Try to kill people when they are parachuting with the rocket coming from the front

[next onyx]

It's like a cha cha ching.

[foggy halo]

I wonder how it looks and sounds from the other side

need a video

[upbeat sand]

when you look at the old angel gameplay on youtube for the specialist review you can see angel throws down his loadout crate location on the floor manually instead of pointing at the floor

[next onyx]

It sounds pretty deep in comparison to a rifle.

It's weird to say.

[foggy halo]

the rocket

[next onyx]

Oh lizzes rocket?

[foggy halo]

yeah

[next onyx]

It sounds like a demon from hell.

[latent canyon]

As a lis main that either means you already had taken damage or that it was a direct hit

[next onyx]

Getting hit by her splash is super obnoxious.

[latent canyon]

I mean it’s still better then fkin Sundance. Like ffs dice how many battlefields does it take to know grenade spam ruins the game

[night minnow]

it's so sick that weekly missions are forcing on different play style... for example im CQ player and support... i don't wanna bother with explosives to do multi kills or destroy vehicles since ill have someone in the squad doing that...

or use shot gun as kills...

[uncut bay]

it's encouraging people to try different playstyles, and it's not like they want you to T1 a sniper rifle. They're easy

[latent canyon]

I beat that after getting 10ppl with 1 frag

[night minnow]

what a luck...

[night minnow]

i tried 5 BT on explose map did 2 times multikills 2 people with frag and still it's not complete

[obsidian elk]

It's funny because actual grenades are dog now

The frag grenade takes so long to explode and the radius is quite small

[uncut bay]

yeah challenges are apparently having tracking issues

[obsidian elk]

Underbarrel grenade launchers are also dog

But Sundance's nades get to be wild

[chilly jacinth]

i almost got the regular nades at T1

[night minnow]

maybe i have to try sundance to do multikill 😄

[chilly jacinth]

they're quite good imo

[uncut bay]

even after the nerf they're very useful

[night minnow]

let me give a try... or ill put on fire myself

[chilly jacinth]

what challenge even requires multikills?

[night minnow]

week 2 second column requires mutikill with explosive

[latent canyon]

Just use C5 on breakthrough expose

[chilly jacinth]

i must've done that one by accident then

[night minnow]

good for you 🙂

[latent canyon]

If ya rlly cheap C5 drone should work too

[night minnow]

if challenge tracking was working correctly i would have it done already 😄

[obsidian elk]

c5 drone

in exposure c1

while attacking or defending

[night minnow]

brb gonna try

[latent canyon]

Yes

[karmic phoenix]

bro what the hell is dozers shield it doesnt even work

i got people shooting right through it

[latent canyon]

Tho on attack might be easier depending on how much the defending team digs in

[slim quiver]

then its bugged

because im getting hit by rockets near me

and i have full HP

[obsidian elk]

Guys is the US tank stronger than the T28?

I feel like I landed more shots on the M5A1 but I was still destroyed

I definitely hit it more than it hit me

and it was hitting my front armor

[latent canyon]

What ammo are you using

[obsidian elk]

not sides or back

and I wasn't using HEAT

Is the Abrams just stronger?

[slim quiver]

any explosive spam

[latent canyon]

No

[slim quiver]

they just nerfed her scatter grenades because they were broken

[chilly jacinth]

are you sure its a Lis rocket and not a regular rocket

[slim quiver]

the problem is that battlefield players never use equipment the way they are intended. Battlefield players 1000000% use rockets that are meant for vehicles to kill players

[chilly jacinth]

because people really like to spam the recoiless

[slim quiver]

i know the difference

i simply look at the name

and see that it isnt recoiless

[latent canyon]

They should just remove them it’s ruining 2nd objective on the new map on breakthrough

[slim quiver]

but yes people still use that

if they should remove anything, its remove the damage from explosives being so high that its obliterating people

first step is to make any weapon meant for vehicles to do full damage to vehicles and 50% to infantry

infantry should take 50 damage from rockets

[latent canyon]

Idm the lis launcher it’s slow and hard to hit at least on console it’s rlly handy to take out cliff campers

[uncut bay]

scatter grenades were pitiful before, they're just actually usable now

any explosive in a tight corridor is deadly

[latent canyon]

The scatter is deadly anywhere indoors

And to make it worse she gets 2 and it got a short cd

[uncut bay]

as is any explosive. The fuse time was even increased, there's ample time to run away before the secondaries blow up

[next onyx]

The normal frags are quite potent.

The initial explosion ruins people trying to run away.

With scatters.

I wouldn't mind if the primers damage were reduced.

[chilly jacinth]

dunno man 1 character getting effectively 10 explosives is pretty OP

[latent canyon]

Yes but Sundance gets access to scatter a frag and can still equip C5

[next onyx]

It feels like the fuse is instant but it's just the explosion timing.

The fuse starts as soon as it leaves your hand it feels.

[uncut bay]

yeah i agree that sundance shouldn't have access to any other grenades, though they should give back her emp in that case

[next onyx]

The spawn beacon should be kept out of assault to be honest.

[obsidian elk]

I really enjoy how every character has a high-end, cool looking skin that can be unlocked just from levelling up past 80

[next onyx]

Ye.

[latent canyon]

They should give her a lis and make it so she can’t use offensive gadgets like C5

[uncut bay]

nah i disagree with that

just grenades, same as lis can't use other launchers

[obsidian elk]

Wait, it's not every character

Casper lacks a level 80 skin

and Irish

[slim quiver]

not rockets

theres 0 time to run away from a 1 hit recoiless m5

that can literally kill 2-3 people with one rocket

[uncut bay]

yeah rockets obviously don't apply there

[slim quiver]

people pick rocket in their gadget and theyre not using it on vehicles

vehicles are still roaming all over the map and infantry is busy shooting rockets

[obsidian elk]

Doesn't the m5 have pretty short blast radius?

[slim quiver]

i frankly never bother using the m5 against people, they never die

unless they catch me with my pants down

[obsidian elk]

It's balanced around vehicles, rightfully so. The blast radius is tiny

[slim quiver]

all 2042 players do is use explosives

which is what bf players do in general

the guy in the video

killed 4-5 people with a recoiless

in 1 shell

if you want to make launcher people fume

either nerf the damage to infantry or make it so rockets cant be refreshed with ammo packs

[latent canyon]

That’s pretty effective use of the ammo

[slim quiver]

that way they will never waste a missile on infantry

[slim quiver]

its broken

[latent canyon]

Im not saying your wrong xD

[slim quiver]

the weapon is meant to be used on vehicles

not spamming infantry

The worst part is players have got used to so many things being broken in the BF series that they just by instinct know it will be there

And dice got lucky that the past few years conquest and breakthrough could be balanced by just balancing conquest

But now it’s really starting to show how they mainly balance the game around conquest and just hope that breakthrough works out

But it just doesn’t

[next onyx]

I won't lie though they're great for pushing.

[slim quiver]

They’re great for pushing because they eliminate anyone in a huge radius

Anything that killed 7 people in 1 throw is good

But It’s interesting players complain about lack of weapons, but they spend majority of their time throwing grenades around a corner and switching to a rocket and firing the rocket and then just rinsing and repeating at that same corner

Or throwing C5

And then waiting for it to replenish

Thats not what happened

There’s not even cosmetics really in season 1. That’s just the battlepass

The store still has like 3 cosmetics

[civic barn]

The whole Battlepass provides ONLY cosmetics (except 2 weapons)

[slim quiver]

Cod just dropped their season 4 plans and it’s like 3 maps, 4 guns, a new zombie map and something else. Rest is cosmetics, so idk what people expect

Most season stuff is cosmetics and then just a few things

[dull carbon]

True

[slim quiver]

Nobody should expect anything big

[chilly jacinth]

its not a new zombies map

[obsidian elk]

Cucumbers are just solid water; change my mind

[slim quiver]

It’s shi no numa remake

[dull carbon]

Were you expecting maps to be unlocked in the bp 💀

[chilly jacinth]

which is not new

at all

[slim quiver]

But it’s going to have different features

It will not be a 1:1 remake

[next onyx]

Big issue about explosives that I see is that the cooldown for ammo isn't shared across multiple boxes. This plus the large volume of players makes it way too easy to get multi kills and restock on explosives with ease.

[slim quiver]

So yes it’s a new re-imagined version

[chilly jacinth]

sure if you wanna call it new go ahead

[slim quiver]

Yeah I’ll call it what it is

[slim quiver]

Grenades should never be replenished by ammo boxes

They should only be life based

You’d see an immediate increase in fire fights

Because there wouldn’t be 20 explosions going off

And peoples frame rates would also probably be saved as a result

Because the game wouldn’t need to measure 20 people throwing nades at once

And all those particles going off

If anything it smooths out performance in very condensed combat areas and makes the combat more skill oriented

Because there’s nothing to spam safely

People would actually need to aim for once

[chilly jacinth]

game is heavily cpu bound

reducing particles aint gonna do shit

[slim quiver]

It’s heavy cpu bound but people still say they get frame drops when 20 people are throwing nades

People can still have mediocre GPU’s that definitely effect frames

The whole game isn’t just straining the cpu

It still taxes your GPU as well so yes frames are still tied to both components

[next onyx]

The way bf5 handled it was way better. You could replenish them off ammo stations. In a way you could get your grenades quickly back that way but it was pretty nice.

[slim quiver]

This was way better

There was way less nade spam in 5

[next onyx]

I think for this they should add an internal cooldown for grenades to only be 45 seconds per ressupply for it.
