It's probably one of the simpler things you can do actually. Making it look good is the hardest part.
Made a grappling hook in Unity and was kinda surprised that it wasn't as difficult as I was expecting. But god damn did it look awful without polished animations and meshes.

all sniper ones.

The 5x has no glint.

even that's not enough

assuming you never miss a week and do every mission that brings you only to 58

with the exception of the multikill explosive one, thats pure RNG

wraith dome
I feel the need to vent about this game
I stand by my opinion that 2042 is a complete failure and it doesn't even feel fun to get back into. Came back for the new season, fun for a day, then graphical bugs on the new map, the fact that people sit on any nook they can on the landslide face and not play OBJ, and airpower still being insane and anti air being underwhelming at best, make it borderline not enjoyable. Also when you try to have fun, and want to do anything remotely meme worthy that isnt in an air vehicle, meta (aka D*ck riding the K30) well it isnt going to happen. Made the comment that this game should be rebranded as "Scammer Field" as a joke but i do feel ripped off with the preorder still and even though i have tried and put close to 250 hours into this game, more or less just to justify the purchase, i have to say out of every BF i have played i have put the least hours into this game due to the sheer unenjoyment. I dont feel any team work like i did in the older battlefields and the new system in place just makes people play shellfish, play for them selves. how is that fun and my answer is it isnt. Honestly moving forward i dont know if i will pre order a Battle Field again.
It also really sucks that this game could have had the best Campaign ever and the Devs were like , Nah , peep dont play single player games. the sheer creative freedom you could have had in this story could have been amazing, not to mention you could have continued with the Tomb Stone Squad which had me excited and Didnt happen. then you kill Pac which was the only character with a head on his shoulders and dont give us any further story on what happens with everyone in a campaign format, like come on.
I hate how every game feels like, and when i say this, and this isnt directed at DICE, but the games feel like 70% released products that could have been better but were forced out because upper management people want money. i feel like it hurts Developers who try to tell a story and it hurts the reputation of games.

Sundance shouldn’t be able to just toss two cluster nades back to back.
That’s like, 8 grenades from one person
chilly jacinth
its 10 nades
wide shore
Even better
wraith dome
single nade is manageable, the intial grenade followed by the extra BS mini grenades that cover a whole room almost stacked by like 5 players now thats where the BS really shines
dire quest
To be fair they should have nerfed Sundance's grenades to 1 just like all grenades
dire quest
Why nerf grenades from 2 to 1 if not Sundance?
wraith dome
what is Sundances Cluster the 1st pop of the grenade followed by what 5 smaller explosions ?
dire quest
Yee
chilly jacinth
1 into 4
wraith dome
so you can get damaged by the first pop, then the 4 minis and you multiply that by like 10 people that thats like 50 nades and 40 if just the little ones damage then x2 because second grenade

will multiple stacked c4s count as one explosion for the multikill challenge?

What if the objective this whole time was to befriend our enemy? And everytime we kill...our score goes down?
violet meteor
Are they explosives?

sweet barn
its 3 explosives tho, challenge reads as singular
dire quest
Challenge says kill multiple people with one explosive no?
latent canyon
As long as you kill multiple ppl with explosive(s) it doesn’t matter
late raft
Me and my friends put 12 C5s (in total ofc) on a drone and I got 10 people in that explosion on breakthrough
violet meteor
Anyway
The harder challenge seems to be melee kills
But just roll dozer and you'll be fine since takedowns are kinda hit or miss
sweet barn
melee kills was easy as fuck
obsidian elk
It would be nice to have an electric/EMP effect on the vehicle when it's EMP'd or hacked. I'm surprised it doesn't already exist.
They could also do it in a way that's low-impact on the GPU. Just a simple 2d effect would suffice.
It would also help people take more advantage of having Rao on the team.
sweet barn
explosive is pure luck if you can get enemy team to group up in one spot + you are competing with other people for the kills because everyone will be spamming explosives

Hack assists need to be a thing too.
Nvm that's Disrupt Assist

god theres one thing about dialogue options in games that gets me
whenever you make a threat in a game its the least convincing thing ever
or that no game really ever has a dialogue system that carries over reputation enough
SWTOR made the same exact errors
you could be max level, literally be the hand of the emperor (which is the end title) and like smugglers out in the world will still tell you that you will be dead because they are wanted on like 10 parsecs
next onyx
Whew, SWTOR. Wouldn't mind giving it a go again eventually.
slim quiver
same, in all honesty that game is amazingly well done
slim quiver
Bioware is still good at what they do
its true their quality isnt the same as it was
they actually still do have talented writers

One thing to keep in mind is not to investigate one of the randomly dead bodies otherwise you summon a raid boss! :D
violet meteor
I'm gonna need to get an anime weeaboo pfp to keep up here brb

its more about innovating dialogue wheel systems to legitimately have options that carry the right emotion as well as having reputation changes in the game effect dialogue options like in fallout how skill points open up new options

I grew up with the new movies but just found out this year anakin is pretty much the force made human
slim quiver
all because he has more plot armor in the world than luke ever will in his entire existence. Anikan was a way more superior duelist to kenobi during pre vader. He wasn't in his prime but Anakin pretty much could have womped obiwan

In your opinion. Do they do star wars better as games than movies?

I wouldn't compare the two in terms of difficulty but yes

It's movement reminds me largely of that.
And gameplay.
Just wish it were more open ended.

As much as I don't care about it.

I'll prolly end up doing a second playthrough before release

Wasn't the store a recent addition?
There are already three bundles since the patch dropped
Last month there were zero cosmetics to buy

play 10 hours of trial - no problem
buy the game - every match since then a stuttery mess

Wasn't the store a recent addition?
yes
they had 8 months to add things to the stores
to me its actually a little unacceptable. 8 months
and the bundles are basically camos
with prints im almost sure are in BP
sweet barn
8 months is a long ass time for so little content post-launch on an already underbaked game, anyone who still thinks the game is actively getting worked on is overdosing on copium
i love how I got booted out of the game because EA Play trial period ended even tho I had bought the full game
next onyx
They spent 8 months fixing their shit because of the horrendous state it was launched.
The game was rushed to release because of EA.

Guys I need help. In practice, to do the weekly missions I took an M5 and I blew up a Condor making a multiple kill of 5 kills.

The only respectable vehicle in this game is jets
Because they’re the only vehicle that actually does what other vehicles should be doing
Which is killing and focusing on other vehicles
Meanwhile everyone else gauging how good a vehicle it is based on how easy it is to farm infantry
The idea that vehicles should be powerful things that take skilled infantry to take them out is just dumb
Because it’s almost like saying that the vehicle itself shouldn’t need skill to play because it’s supposed to be a big threat
In breakthrough vehicles in general are more powerful than they are in CQ
Because the game mode is more linear and condensed
Way easier to kill a whole bunch of infantry in one strafe vs conques

In breakthrough vehicles in general are more powerful than they are in CQ

The main shells for the tank should at the very least be decent against infantry not dog shit.
If they nerfed the 50MM to only be good against armour that'd be fine.
Make the grenade launcher decent, You have to get close to use the damn thing instead of orbit bomber with a 50MM.
Bf5 tanks did extremely well in being the best of all worlds with classes being the best at X.
low timber
What I haven’t liked about tanks since BFV is how delayed the aim input is in first person if you are not zoomed in.
next onyx
That was awful.
low timber
You pretty much have to be zoomed it at all times to hit stuff
low timber
Like try to use the secondary lmg/hmg without zooming in
low timber
When the enemy is already throwing the first C5
Even going prone is delayed as fuck now.
So many times when crouching and trying to go prone I actually just stand up because the input is so delayed.
next onyx
Performance is so scuffed even.
(Input and performance being tied yadda yadda.
There's this one quote that echoes in my head regarding tanks.
With Russianbadger saying that they provide such a massive morale boost for your team.
They're the best anchors your team can use.
I remember in this one rush game, Bf3 maps with bad co 2 soldiers.
Trying to genuinely push and keep a foothold to help my team, They're amazing.
obsidian elk
Why did they choose the F-35 as the fighter for this game when it's more of a bomber/joint strike?
Is it just because it's more modern than the f-22?
The true analog to the su-57 would be f-22

The No pat stuff is like also impossible
obsidian elk
They should have just made shit up
I don't get your point
You're saying they should have made stuff up
Then you immediately shit on them for making stuff up
slim quiver
What are you talking about
Are we talking about making stuff up mechanic wise
Or appearance wise
I’ve never cared that battlefield makes stuff up
dull carbon
Loid has a point
slim quiver
Can I have some examples
If someone posts the why 9mm does more damage than a larger round we got passed that
obsidian elk
You said "they should have made shit up"
and then they made up impossible weather
they made up an impossible conflict with non-patriated mercenaries
And you cited those as bad things
immediately after saying
they should have made stuff up
slim quiver
That’s not a complaint, that’s just the reality. That’s not bad things, that’s me just explaining why it makes sense to make other stuff up
You’re mis-interpreting my meanings
obsidian elk
should've gone with su58 and f23 or something
Yeah they should have just made up an f23 since they made up a bunch of other stuff in the game
they weren't necessarily bound to real hardware
dense summit
why is a fight happening here
slim quiver
You took it like I was complaining
obsidian elk
Wdym "again"
That wasn't directed at you
I was agreeing with him that they should have made up an f23...
It makes sense because they made up a bunch of other stuff in the game
next onyx
They quit the F22 program due to the high costs.
slim quiver
I’m referring to this
obsidian elk
But we went over that already
slim quiver
We did?
obsidian elk
Yeah...
slim quiver
Did you realize I wasn’t shitting on them?
slim quiver
Right you didn’t acknowledge that you saw it I guess
obsidian elk
They quit the F22 program due to the high costs.
That wouldn't matter though, it's BF2042, they could have just made up that the US restarted the program
or started a new one called F-23
cunning breach
weeb fight
uncut bay
the F-32 lol
cunning breach
now weeb kiss @obsidian elk @slim quiver
slim quiver
I’m not a weeb stop talking
next onyx
Oh for sure an F23.
obsidian elk
the F-32 lol
I just googled it
next onyx
Allala knock it off.
obsidian elk
and the x-32 just looks like a chonky f-35
next onyx
I love how everyone thinks the VTOL part of the F35 somehow makes it good?
obsidian elk
X-32 looks like F-35 drank too much fuel
obsidian elk
I love how everyone thinks the VTOL part of the F35 somehow makes it good?
How can more capability not mean good things
You're rocket bait if you're in VTOL mode with rockets around. In any other case it's advantageous
cunning breach
it is because the us is retiring the f22 and rejected the x23 so f35 (winner)
next onyx
It might make it better to shoot people with because due to spread it's whatever.
obsidian elk
It's like being a sitting duck but with no duck hunters around, it's not a disadvantage
next onyx
With the existence of Liz though that's pretty much fucked.
Theoretically yes you'll be fine with no rockets.
But what are you gonna do?
You may as well fly and abuse ground vehicles with AGM's the same way with the SU57.
obsidian elk
Honestly Way,
next onyx
Which has superior turning.
obsidian elk
talking about jets is completely moot anyway
Because they're so weak in the current meta
next onyx
They're shit in this game yeah.
obsidian elk
It feels like a waste of time talking about them
next onyx
With increased accuracy of their main gun they'd be fun to use.
obsidian elk
The problem I have with jets isn't that the cannon is inaccurate, it's just really hard to control on mouse and keyboard
I haven't fiddled with the settings too much so I don't know if it can be improved
But I feel like it's really oversensitive when I try to correct the aim
But I need the sensitivity high so I can turn in dogfights
In the end, the answer is likely either going to be controller or joystick, if I really want to enjoy the jets
And I'm not going to invest that much into it.
slim quiver
Jets in general aren’t good this game
obsidian elk
Yeah they're not.
slim quiver
But you’re going to need to balance the other vehicles first before any other vehicle gets buffed
vocal adder

I have to move my mouse like crazy on jets haha
slim quiver
Directly or indirectly
next onyx
Winged craft haven't always been good with mouse and keyboard let's be honest.
next onyx
The thing that'd make jets better would be the use of rocket pods. Zuni's or some shit.
slim quiver
Nerf those fucking helicopters so we can see where every other vehicle sits on the totem pole and balance from there
next onyx
Funny that the attack helis are useless. Which isn't good at all.
obsidian elk
I think the 50mm on helis needs a big change.
Nerfing it is pointless because it's just going to be like the 30mm but slightly better.
The point of changing vehicle equipment in this game is side-grading, not straight upgrades.
So if the 50mm is nerfed into being like the 30mm "but better", it won't match the vision that the balance team has for the game.
So the only thing that can be done is to rework the 50mm into something else, or nerf it in a way that doesn't make it just a better 30mm
next onyx
The stealth helis are just AT helis where the pilot has gunner guns.
50MM definitely need to be given the 57MM treatment.
Have it just there for anti armour.
And have the grenade launcher being that thing that mauls infantry. This isn't a problem since the transport needs to get close and leave them self open.
obsidian elk
Shifting its focus into more of an anti-armor weapon would be good, yeah. Right now the problem isn't that it's good against vehicles (that feels totally fine,) the problem is that it clears out C1 in Exposure in three hits
It's too powerful on infantry
next onyx
Its anti everything.
next onyx
And as I mention, Have grenade launcher as your infantry killer. They need to get close with it anyways.
obsidian elk
I don't think it would need compensatory buffs against vehicles
nova mirage
oh thats funny as fuck actually
next onyx
And it opens it up to rocket launchers and ziplining mackays with C5.
obsidian elk
Is there any side-grade for the sidemounted chainguns on the helis? They're so fucking useless, why doesn't anybody change them for something else
The hitboxes are too small on the bullets
next onyx
The miniguns at the side? There's no alternative.
obsidian elk
That really sucks
vocal adder
i think the biggest problem with the helicopters in 2042 is the way they move tbh
next onyx
They're good up close and against other vehicles.
They're actually quite good, They just suck at a range because of the spread.
And the odd angle.
obsidian elk
They're actually quite good, They just suck at a range because of the spread.
What we need is a turret lock mechanism
like in Squad
next onyx
Eh?
cunning breach
They're actually quite good, They just suck at a range because of the spread.
false
obsidian elk
where the cannons can remain locked and independent of the vehicle's heading
cunning breach
helicopter in 2042 = bad
obsidian elk
So the heli can do a bunch of flips and the chaingun will still be on the same position on your screen, relative to the movements
Squad has it and it makes tank gunning way better
next onyx
Oh there's an option for it.
cunning breach
day 163 of what did they do to my little bird
next onyx
Instead of your aim being dictated by the vehicle it's dictated where you aim.
dense summit
Is ThIs The RAiNbOw SiX sIeGe SeRVEr (im gonna get banned)
obsidian elk
Yeah, those chainguns desperately need to be locked on screen instead of being affected by the vehicle's movement.
I'm surprised it's not on by default tbh
brb lemme check the settings
Why can't I change voice chat channel? It's greyed out in the settings
I want my voice to transmit to my squad and my party (which are in my squad anyway)
But it only goes to party
but when I go to change it in the settings, it cannot be changed.
obsidian elk
Yeah in game settings.
I just turned it off, thank fuck
Now I have to retry the chainguns and see if they're still dogshit

You'll be locked to the same place regardless of where you move.

This is also the impression I got.
The description does not really give me the impression that it will help with the topsy-turvy Hind chaingun aim when it's flying all around

On top of all of that, it's in the "Movement" tab of the controls

Hey guys, I posted a question on the BF reddit but a day later it's still not been approved by the mods so I figured I'd ask it here and see if anyone can help me.
My post was as follows...
`I just bought the game on XSX and am trying to find servers to play via the Portal section, but there's literally none when I have cross play turned off. I have to have cross play turned on in order for any servers to show, which means I have to play with PC players, and as a complete newbie to the game it's sort of throwing me in at the deep end.
I tried just using quickplay as well with cross play turned off, but it searches for a while and then just puts me into a lobby where I'm the only player there, and then have to wait for ages for the lobby to fill.
Is this normal? Surely the game isn't THAT dead on console is it? I really hope not.`

How do you guys find playing against PC players when you're on console? Do you get used to it in the end? Obviously playing against people using mouse & keyboard has me a little worried, that's all.

You can play ways around it by pre aiming, Reducing your deadzones, increasing your own senstivity.

Portal is such a damn good idea and it was thrown into the gutter by a lot of the choices they've made so far. Which is likely why it's not getting much support.

People would've been there for both if there wasn't an arbitrary barrier between them. Portal and HZ should have been the two main gamemodes.

You disagree but then you use your own subjective opinion as the justification to change things
That's not how you create positive, upwards change
The way you need to do it is like this. Explain why you think removing challenges from the battle pass is better for the game, and not for you specifically
Or are you suggesting changes knowing that they are selfishly focused?

In a way.

You're not meant to smack people with the shield you're meant to provide cover.

It's extremely satisfying to tank as Dozer, it just sucks that you aren't rewarded for it. Like yeah you'll win the game, you'll gain a tactical advantage and push into the enemy, but you aren't getting ANY points
Or any assists
Or any credit
uncut bay
yeah currently i'd argue dozer is the most useless operator of the bunch, and the game doesn't really do anything to support a dozer playstyle. You want kills, points, progression? Better sprint at the enemy and hope they don't jump around you and kill you
want to protect the team and be useful? Ok, you won't be rewarded at all

the progression is designed to encourage you to do stupid missions if you wanna progress. I don't like doing stupid missions.

This topic doesn't interest you. You never wanted the structure of the game to change. But it did. Therefore your input is only ever going to be negative regarding the sentry and Ranger. So respectfully, I ask that you don't even bother.

But who needs AA when you can smack helis with 40MM AP.
(AA actually makes a massive difference)

Hacking shouldn't kill weapon systems imo. Making the distortion effect bigger w...
If hacking didn't kill weapons then it would be almost useless because it doesn't affect mobility either
But if you made it affect mobility to compensate for not disabling weapons, then it would be insanely overpowered because helis would just drop to the floor and explode

Hacking should be on a longer cooldown but cause air power to crash
Make it lower cooldown if you hack infantry or jeeps
Make it very long cooldown to hack AirPower
vivid nacelle
only if they nerf Air vehicles

Nerf helicopters

I don't think it has a universal cooldown
I think the cooldown is per-target
but I could be wrong
I don't main Rao

Stealth chopper, super hind and condor def do
obsidian elk
Make it only good against vehicles and "okay" against infantry
What's OP about the stealth heli?
vivid nacelle
also, barely anyone plays Rao and uses his ability, so nerfing his ability is just cruel and unnecessary and only benefits helicopters, who are sweaty enough as they already are

It's really hard to land the entire bomb load unless you're staying still, and your target is also staying still

That was clean. The PBX is a lot of fun to use

Yeah it's annoying that they have stealth mode and can't be locked onto...but shoot them a few times and they lose stealth

The fact that the stealth heli's 30mm never overheat and those bombs have a massive blast radius.

I was mainly referring to ground vehicles, which have horrible mobility. You can't counter the hack in those scenarios denying you completely, which is especially silly given how easy it already is to take out ground vehicles. Air vehicles have essentially no problem dealing with his hack because of their mobility.

Honestly the bombs don't bother me that much. It's the 30mms that really need to be fixed.

I see your point but I think it's fair that ground vehicles become almost totally disabled by hacking. If left unchecked they can tear everything apart.
Strong weapons need strong counters

Remember BF3 double flares? Or the flare and ECM Jammer combo?
slim quiver
It basically has two separate cooldown ways to lose tracking from missiles
uncut bay
the bombs are stupid and shouldn't even be part of its kit. Stealth is already plenty strong

And then has these 30mm’s with 0 overheat

I agree that if the lockon begins while it's not in stealth mode, it should not be lost upon entering stealth mode

That makes no sense. Tanks have no counters to begin with, why should they be completely denied and forced a death?

Smoke is not really a counter when most people are using dumbfire rockets.
