Does Mackey progression still counting if I use him and attack the enemy with vehicles? I wonder what's they quickest way I can get him to mastery
He's only 18 at the moment
At least hes legal
Cool hope I can find a good pilot lol
its bf
u cant
Facts
everyone seems to have Parkinson's when it comes to hovering
what do you guys play the game on? I used to play it on xbox one s, went as well as you probably would expect and i havent really played it since launch, whats it like now lads?
I played it for a week gave up to bugs and went back to bf1
I got complimented yesterday in the chat saying "ace pilot" then about 6 minutes later I went round the cliff, hit a tree, flipped the hind and killed everyone 😄
Bf1 is a good game
haha fair, i played bf4 a week or two ago, still good
i'd play bf1 if it ever gave me full server to play in
This is true, but nothing looks better than Zero Resistance or Deathless on Mackay anyway at the moment~
ONG SAME BRO
What
i need to get myself a PC tho...
most times all i can find is those 2 fucking 1/2 full weeb servers
Getting the smg 08 was the most grueling thing on earth
Was it worth it.
Not at all
You gotta get 10 kills with anti kills to earn it and it took me about 25 rounds to finally complete it
Anti kills
sounds very easy
You’d think
like baby mode easy
SMG 08/18 is a boring weapon anyway
all the guns are boring when u are good enough
Wow this is interesting 2042 talk
Yes
Yes
Why talk about 2042 when bf1 is best 
tell u what we will talk 2042 when 2042 leaves pre alpha
Ok so uhhh
The Smart 1.5x on the AK on console with aim assist
It fucking locks onto the head
Love it when my tank has the blast radius of a snowball
did he just admit to aimbotting
I can show u what i mean
$u$
$$u$$
Sussy wussy
Sus like in among us
sussy wussy my cussy fussy
Atleast he isnt trying to justify a 95% headshot rate on the ac42
if you call someone a mong its offensive, but if you say among its not
Sussy wussy femboy bussy
My favorite snack of the day
😳
Angel is a femboy
didnt they add a femboy to r6
UwU
Bro tachanka is a femboy
I hate it when devs put in characters solely for being inclusive
☺
Yeah r6 does this
"Look we put in a trans character look at us being hip"
They added all the minority characters at the same time lmao
does it have a penis still or did it get inverted?
Why the fuck does the gender of an imaginary character matter
Added the gay dude then the trans girl then some albino chick
Like sundace
whose gay?
im glad i stopped playing r6 after year 5
Iana
they are just adding these ones in cos of woke culture
I just calling in a support drop with angel
also note that the gign revolvers are the wrong type
Everyone knows recruit is absolutely elite
Our AA reversed under it by mistake and the supply drop exploded the vehicle 😂 💀
so elite got banned from ranked
Oh Fr ?
idk y, cos if anything u are at a disadvantage with it
i think they also took away shields too from them
and removed chankas turret
Did the pros complain about all of that
Cringe
I forgot i had r6
Same
when'd u last play it
Like 3 or 4 years ago
its alot of gbs too now
Or even more i think
i know it tells u when u last played on steam idk what it does on uplay, havent opened that app in years
They also addes a non binary, Sens . 💀
has anyone else encountered a gray box on the left side of their screen?
screenshot
lets see if i can get this done today
Hello! I have a problem with Battlefield 2042. Many times, when I start the game it stays on connecting servers, (with an image of the satellite and the Earth), I have to restart the game and the yellow screen of the new season appears and everything normal, why can it be? I have the game purchased from Epic Games, and when I open the game Origin also opens, I don't know if it has to do with it, is an anti-cheat problem or something?
yeah bro you got perma banned
No, I can play normally, but I need to restart the game
gotta love it when your team spreads out
are those default ui colors?
yea
man 64 player conquest is so boring
I made it even brighter
I made the red more vivid too
I just like bright colors
Which is funny because I always wear black, lol
i darkened both, easier to see
I just like units to be easier to see
Hmm, I can see why making them darker would make them easier to see too
It depends on the backdrop
Since most of the game is dark (unless you're looking at a sky or inside a tunnel looking outside) I made team colors bright to see better
About to battlefield it
I have mp28 around 800 kills aswell but maybe a bit ambitious to make 400 pistol kills at 1 day dont you think or you gonne use it as primary weapon then?
Man I wish there were gifs of the various weapon sidegrades for vehicles
so I can watch and see what they are capable of and know what I want to pick
without having to go in a game and test each and every module myself
why would you use anything else?
get that 2042 feel
the colours'll be what you remember aesthetically
BF4's UI colours are imprinted in my mind
very good point
no
Yeah, this is what I did
Team colors and enemy colors are the same, just far brighter and more vivid
I didn't want to lose the designers' intended aesthetic flavor
FIRST MATCH A SUCCESS
well its not really a matter of kills, i can get 400 kills in a day easily
its my patience
Okay honestly crossbow is actually really good
my playstyle heavily relies on mackays grappling hook and a spawn beacon
I’ve been using it wrong lol
but with a pistol you need ammo box
It does so much better in CQC
Yeah lmao
you guys wana see?
no
any1 cool wanna see?
no
Awesome, how'd you find it?
Does this game ever get any bonus exp events or something like that?
I've only been playing for ~2 weeks
it might in the future
it’s really not
idk, we haven't heard anything about that
that’s more of an end of live service thing (ref. SWBF2)
Huh so I just quit a match, and when the game was returning to the menu, I heard the metro loading theme? wonder if that means anything

its a sign from god
Nope, it's the one that plays when loading metro in bf3/4
think it was called frostbite pillars
they re-used themes and motifs from other titles' OTs in the new music, it's kind of this strange nostalgia clash
:o
i noticed that when i was nearing the end of a match on Kaleidescope it felt very BFV and that's because it was practically the same song
this was early on though, it might have changed
https://youtu.be/YhYdRVXbVj4
yeah i’m pretty sure it’s either a) the 2042 theme cause it sounds similar tbh and b) what teacup said i was gonna type it but teacup beat me
It's Finally Here!!! Operation Metro Loading Screen Soundtrack Thank You JOHAN SKUGGE AND JUKKA RINTAMAKI (I have no intention in any copyrights infrigments on this video)
teacup am fast
i’m also on my phone
yessss, this was the exact one that played
I am very eager to to buy BF 2042
tbh the end of it (random thought) kinda does sound like the 2042 theme, i bet they mixed some of those aspects in
if it's on offer, do it
the 5 Degrees of Wsrming song is so good
what is your build
i would try to be as close to the recommended specs as possible
i have a 3070 with a i7 10th, runs fine for me
Is processor my bottleneck?
imagine not using Win11
maybe but it shouldn’t be too bad, i run on high settings just fine
How much 3070 cost?
not worth it to upgrade
plus game is not GPU dependent don’t upgrade your gpu from what you have
3060 is more than good
16gb ram good enough for this game?
dual, quad or single
I haven’t unlocked any special bolts yet
it’s not my BF4 crossbow that’s all
Still on default
it’s good if you hit headshots sure sure but i am underwhelmed by the explosive tipped arrows
That’s a bow, not a crossbow lol
yeah but tomato tomato
i mean its a 1 shot kill anywhere with exp bolts
yeah but it’s an explosive dart and it doesn’t do any explosive damage unless you hit a direct hit
(obviously not 0, but not much)
yeah i agree
and it doesn’t destroy walls
needs more splash damage
i want to be able to shoot a wall with the arrow and destroy it lel
that’s me being picky
but it would ge fun
be
my brother in christ
@hexed mango dual
you are talking about ballistae
It's a tiny warhead on a crossbow bolt. What do you expect? C5?
Sam said it would perform like C5, he lied
who is sam
check this out
dice dev
Kinda funny, i am running out of hardrive space lol. I don't have extra 100Gb to download this game after purchase.
It's a bit fucked that Bolte counts as an armored vehicle
you don’t need 100 gigs
500Gb is not apparently enough
the game is only 52
A hit-and-run MG rig should not take the spot of a tank
it really isn’t
It's armored and has explosive turrets
What cool features there is right now?
ingame?
Ye
specialists 😎😎😎😎
Specialists kinda cool, icl
grapple hook
That the game works
TV missile
stealth choppers
trophy system
scary shit
Rao annoying
exactly
the only thing that can counter stealth chopper
exactly
Stealth choppers that generate bombs
oven
Rao + FXM AA
gross combo
ikr
i always fly outta there the moment i see the hack starting
lol
oh, wait, don't forget Irish's shield thing
they need to add bomber planes to AOW like the ones in 1942 portal rn
or casper's prox sensor
eh trophy system better
prox grenade better
boris turret
yeah, but you don't need it if you have one built in, spare equipment slot
you can pet the ranger
best thing in game is this
i hate Angel
If you destroy a ranger it drains 1 ticket
In case you didn't know
all my homies love Angel, i hate Angel
The battlepass skin for angel is dope af
the casper one is verte r
Mackay's bundle skin is cooler
is that new?
in the BP
oh
i like the Lis one the most in the BP
eh purple is better
nah
bye
god i hate it when you get stuck on e vehicle
the amount of times ive gotten stuck on a helicopter and then smashed into the ground is too damn high
I dont play that much dayly base
God why is every single support worker incompetent
i acidentally closed my chat, and i told the new person i did that
instead of checking the chat and going off that, they ask me every single question again, then proceed to link me something completely irrelevant
Yeah at least youre not rockstar support
I contacted them for something in red dead online
And they literally gave me money on GTA online
💀 💀
As compensation
Red dead online is crap to be fair
send ivan home
who
i wonder too but we need to send Ivan home still
Ivan from Rockstar Support
mfw pretzel day
i miss that
pretzel day
i will never hear it again
nice embed perms
someday, maybe i would have a chance to meet ivan
haha man i missed this line
I didn't.
Post game lines were cringe
we just have to go to his house
Just be chill and be presented with your accolade
that is forbidden!
Don't be sad this is just how it works out sometimes.
i am not overconfident, i am just better than anyone else
thats my line
Sometimes they just line up for ya
Aufgitz
SFAR feels so much more consistent than ak-24
It is but it has less rate of fire
chopper sweats be like "iTs NoT Op"
Sheesh bro never play 2042 at night I swear it's sweaty af
chopper sweats are a pest in every BF game
Where do i type my suggestions for gameplay which category ?
I keep getting a DirectX error upon starting the game, anyone knows how to fix it?
CreateComputePipelineState
is what it says
it's not OP
nice joke
it just works
Ok imma send them here then xd
Give Tanks and EBAA Wildcats Active Protection because Transport Heli's 50mm cannon easly destroys them (also tones of RPG)
Jets counters Heli's but why are they in same category ? keep them separated. This is very important because no one can pick jet and i would like to play jet.
Also when in game, editting a gun screen needs a removal option i dont want there to be always 3 option.
Also when in game, editting a gun screen needs a removal option i dont want there to be always 3 option.
Heavily agreed
good points
i agree that jets and helis should be seperated
Thank you but i cant contact with a dev :/ i hope they see them
there's a feedback page on the web, find it
I did post this on bf forum but got 0 views :D
i guess you could wait until there's a dev present and kindly ask them to relay it to the team
idk man
Never seen a thread on https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/bd-p/battlefield-2042-general-discussion-en with 0 views
Meh, i'll just hope they see them cuz' i posted this on 3 different platform cuz' we need these changes asap
I posted it on general discussion
Because its not a technical issue ?
I'll post there too thank you !
Nono, that's the right location. Still have not seen anything with 0 views though
what did you post
@grizzled whale basicly this
Uh, did the servers just implode?
Your thread has 40+ views. Can't force people to react to it though.
Oh i thought it was 0 :/ thank you for the info
hey guys
so ive been thinking of buying 2042
and its currently at €25
is it worth it? ( i play on a ps4 pro)
Like is input lag and the fps stable now?
never had input lag since l aunch
coz i rember in the beta the input lag was horribleeee
and fps was at like 40 max
ok lemme rephrase, i never had input lag since the alpha
and have like 100+ hours
its ps4 pro
and u on ps4 pro?
its hardware limit
nop
oh shiett
so they still didnt get it to work?
like maybe reduce textures or smthn
Old gen has input lag.
dude u cant have more then 40 fps with ps4
umm i get 60 fps on every game
The systems can barely run the game even with reduced textures.
yeah from what year lol
damn but how come bfv looks miles better has 64 players and runs at 60 fps?
it do tho
im pretty sure its around 55
i mean 55 vs 60 is barely noticeable
like at 40 fps it starts to get irritating
even 50 is good enough for me
Because bf5 was made in mind with hardware in 2018.
It wasn't as resource intensive as 2042.
Those CPU's CANNOT handle 128p.
yeh but like the maps of 64 player bf 2042 are as big as bfv
I can’t believe battlefield v was made it’s been
and there are same players
Anyone know what day the week 3 challenges come out?
Doesn't matter. It still utilises more resources.
true but this game is next gen compared to mw thats 3 y old
Different things to process.
huh
oh well
so nobody got any reference?
for me
im on ps5 and it runs ez
guess ill have to check on yt
thats all i can tell ya
np, i mean thats normal, things move naturally to new gen more and more
so u can expect more and more fps drops
or worse graphics however
Is it just me or should Exposure have another sector before C1? On Breakthrough
dunno
I'd assume 1 week after week 2 came out
Nope
Hey everyone
hey big man
Disagree, matches are already upwards of 20 minutes
hey big man
Yo mr mod
Hmm... In the queue to start a march, where it’s saying, for instance, “10/64 in lobby - 16 required to start,” how would you feel if, upon joining the queue, particularly if the number in the queue is at or above a certain threshold, such as 10, people aren’t allowed to leave the queue unless they’ve waited a minute or so? I’m in a queue for exodus conquest right now. I’ve been here for 3 to 5 minutes now, and more than enough people have come and gone to actually launch the match, and thoroughly populate it, to boot, but they just leave way too quickly upon seeing a queue.
If ea wanna go f2p they just gotta give ppl who own the game some stupid milsim skins for free
Should quell the nonsensical outrage a bit
Chat, can someone explain the "accuracy" stat to me? The one that some weapon grips seem to affect.
It's especially confusing when an attachment increases "accuracy while aiming." Doesn't aiming down the sight already turn weapon spread to zero? Doesn't the round always hit the center of the crosshair?
What it do Mr Admin
There's still inaccuracy when ads
Chat we just witnessed a meeting between a middle manager and their manager
im sad that the Expanse ended
Spread. It’s usually not an issue on most weapons until you start trying to use them at stupid ranges they’re not designed to be used at (sniping with an AR, for instance), but the bullets will go slightly off-center in a random direction. Even well-spaced shots in semi-auto while prone can miss.
So even when you're aiming down the sight, the round doesn't always go into the crosshair?
yes and no? there's a tiny bit of bullet deviation even with the first shot I think
1.275.816 Bytes
You won't notice it in normal gameplay anyway
That's a made up word

One of the big things that ticked a lot of people off about this game was that the spread was random, instead of in a predictable pattern (such as up and to the right on first shot, down and to the left on the second, etc.). But spread, by its very nature, is random in reality, so...I think it’s a silly thing to get upset about. I’m inclined to believe the only reason any shooter ever had a predictable spread pattern was because having a repeating pattern used less computing resources than having to generate a random pattern in real-time.
yeah random spread is fine
predictable spread patterns is cringe try hard shit imo
there's even random spread in csgo, people just don't notice it because they be dumb
at around 20 meters your first shot is not 100% accurate anymore
People will go on about how memorizing recoil/spread patterns is a skill, and they should be allowed to do it... Except that it’s also extremely exploitable by macros and controller add-ons that automatically adjust your aim, so you can easily end up with someone cheating to have absolutely zero recoil.
Assault rifle at extreme range, accuracy can also be useful. Say, you’ve finally unlocked the 6x for your assault rifle? You’d better pair it with a good grip or a bipod, or you’ll miss half your shots.
ttk is an absolute joke.
yeah, m5a3 with high power, long barrel, 6x, and a grip for accuracy is quite fun
I wish we could have a muzzle device with barrel length options tho
would open up more customization options
like short barrel with suppressor
So let's say I wanted to snipe halfway across Exposure. Is that "extreme"
yes
So it would benefit from the grip..
That just sounds evil... I haven’t touched the M5 much. Ground out the SFAR-GL and I’m almost finished with the AC-42. I’m sad that the launcher is a permanent attachment on the SFAR, but I also know it’s a balancing thing.
I just feel like that's a worse Scar without a nade launcher though
Trust me I've been trying the AK-24 built for damage and velocity
the scar is so good it's almost broken
and it's just awful compared to scar
ak is ass
It's really not ass
but
it pales in comparison to scar
if you build it in a similar way
If the SFAR had a grip or bipod option...phew.
m5a3 is just a build-your-own gun, make it into anything you want
The M5 definitely feels like ass though
It sucks because the Obsidian skin looks really cool on it
and I would like to utilize it because I also enjoy how versatile it is
but I can't help but feel like I'm just shooting a toy gun with that thing sometimes
It just feels so dog

yeah I don't use it because it's meta, it's just fun to use for me
Making me think of Battlefield Friends... The Battlefield 3 FAMAS Nerf...
Or the free/starter weapons in Battlefield Heroes
the pistol calibre mag on the m5a3 is actually pretty good, it's smg firerate with rifle damage
I never played Battlefield Heroes, which is probably a good thing.
it was fun when it lasted
I played it for like
three days when I was a little kid
It wasn't very fun
You could pay for better guns
iirc
It was quite pay2win if I remember correctly
slap on the small barrel and small ammo and its good
I guess that's enough corroboration then
You mean fire rate and high damage?
But then I'd use the K30 or PBX
all fire rate
Anyone know how to fix the latency drops it was fine for the first 3 days I got the game the it’s latency keeps dropping hard
you mean the latency increases?
if it drops then it's not a problem, it's a good thing
Yes increases
Totally just stole the Russians’ Super Hind as US defenders on Exposure breathrough. Pilot bailed after getting hit with one Stinger. It landed intact, and while I parachuted over to it, I nailed it with another while it was still on the ground when another enemy tried to take off with it... So they also bailed it, once again intact. Mine now, buddy!
ask your ISP to stop throttling your connection
How?
call them, tell them you are having connection problem, I guess?
I guess we did that once last year to
I know my game likes to start locking up when I get into combat. It’ll generally run smoothly until I encounter an enemy, and then the frame rate will drop to 1 frame every 2 seconds or so. By the time it mostly recovers, I’m dead. It rarely fully recovers within a match. Once it happens, my frame rate is usually still cut by half or more. Happens at least once in almost every match.
Been doing that since launch.
you using a ssd?
It’s less frequent now, but still bad.
how much ram do you have, is it dual channel
Xbox One Elite. Currently running from a 7200 RPM external HDD via USB 3.0. My other option is my console’s internal SSHD (solid state hybrid drive), which, I believe, is a 5400 RPM drive, with the SSD cache.
Not sure which would give better performance. I have it installed to both, but I keep forgetting to disconnect the external and try the internal.
I still can’t quite wrap my head around why anyone would make a 5400 RPM SSHD, rather than 7200 RPM.
I don’t actually know that it’s 5400 RPM, but I seem to recall reading that. Microsoft doesn’t like to admit that, as far as I know, they’ve never given any console a 7200 RPM HDD.
MS just likes to tout capacity, and in the case of the Xbox One Elite (which was created entirely as a promo for the Elite Controller), the fact that it has an SSHD, but they never talk about RPM, because it’s always 5400. lol

A Ripple Effect Engineer _jjju_ posted a tweet about irl pics of Port Valdez, Port Valdez was a BC2 map.
Puts on tinfoil hat
Exactly
The best way to market garbage....
Is to say it's everything but garbage.
Is anyone on win 11 with bf2042 already?
ye
And works smooth? Official not yet supported right?
it's supported
Oke but runs smooth?
yes
Better experience then win 10?
about the same i guess
Oke ty
Pc players. Flying tips for mouse and keyboard. My friend needs help
I need help flying too haha its a disaster i actualy only use grond vehicles now
...I swear I just edited my message, only to have the whole thing disappear. Okay, Discord. XD
I honestly can’t imagine trying to fly a helo with kbm... Dual analog sticks plus analog triggers are very nice for that.
Prob most pilots use controller
Flying a heli is perfectly fine with mouse and keyboard
Jets are something else
Jets require very fine tuned movements, especially side to side, to aim their main guns
But they also need to perform wide, sweeping turns
So it's nothing a "sensitivity" setting can fix
Only a controller is optimal for jet play
Using a M&KB for jets is a lot easier than controller in my experience.
They feel much easier to turn on there.
Controller feels horrible.
Angel's Tier One skin reminds me of The Division.
bf needs that season pass amount of post launch content
Bruh they're working on it
Nah
Battle pass won't prevent us from getting free content too
The best games offer a mixture of options
Sure it would be great for us to have everything free
In theory
The way it's played out tho, bf post launch content has been abysmal ever since they switched to mtx model
If they can give us great post launch support like in season pass days, but for free, they will have way more people in the game spending money on mtx
I like this game but season 1 is already dry, i don't really feel like playing anymore
I wasn't aware BF4 post-launch content was bad, considering that game has literal lootboxes.
Yeah ever since they moved away from paid expansions
Either way, sure it's been slow, but with this content update I've actually felt like it's becoming more along the lines of what I'd expect from a Battlefield title. It's not perfect yet, but I've been playing the game more because I want to, not because I feel I have to. That has to count for something.
If their maps continue to be like...whatever this new map is called, I can't remember, then the post-launch content should be fine.
Exposure
Yeah, thank you.
Hopefully they will get better with time
Exposure still have a lot of spots that could use some detail (papers on the floor, broken shit everywhere etc)
The quality is there with exposure but this season is dreadfully sparse on content
If this is what we should expect from every season, I'm out
the tunnel objective on both BT and Conquest needs more cover
Moving through it is a huge pain tbh
For sure, but Exposure is the first time I've played BF2042 where I've sat and thought, "wow, now this is Battlefield."
I've been playing only that map for the last few weeks now. I didn't realize how much I just straight up hate the other maps until Exposure came out.
I feel like some areas on exposure needs more trees or cover but that's just me
They're prioritizing 64 player now, so maybe we'll get more maps per season or more well detailed maps
64-player is definitely the way to go. 128 is just too damn much.
Since they don't have to put shit over a large area to cater to 128 player modes
Were they trying to impress someone with 128 players?
64 players is still a lot for large scale shooters
2042 maps will still have 128 conquest tho, so so that change likely won't have a big impact. But at least map designers don't have to worry about making BT128 work anymore
People want more content but then say they want 128 players. 1 map per season will be the norm if they follow 128 over 64.
(you dont know how to fly jets)
I would be fine with this:
2-3 maps per season
2 unique weapons and 2 portal ports
1 new vehicle
2 new specialists
and the specialist must be women
But they could do ~4 maps per 3 months with 64. So it's reasonable to expect 2 per season with 128
2 specialists per season? Nty
The maps are huge now
One message removed from a suspended account.
2-3 maps is asking too much
One message removed from a suspended account.
No it isn't.
Are you changing it with the plus system
Yeah it is
Only because dice is a fucking mess atm
If it's like 1 AOW map and a couple of portal maps, fine. That makes sense.
Is crossplatform possible?
the first slot closest to the gun is the "default" attachement
One message removed from a suspended account.
One message removed from a suspended account.
Could you elaborate on why it is?
The norm used to be 4 maps, 4-6 weapons, 2 vehicles, 1-2 gadgets
Why would 2-3 maps be asking too much?
64p maps have 1 map designer
128p maps have 2 map designers
So if a well-managed dice can put out 4 64p maps per season they can do 2 128p maps per season
Yeah, then there's the non-map stuff
This season is overall at least half the amount of content it should be
you should want atleast 6 maps per season
No we should want 20
But the game bombed and no one paid for content expansions so EA will let them put out the bare minimum each season
The norm was 4 maps back when everyone had to pay 15 bucks to get the maps. Now it's a live service. Their ability to make new maps will be constrained by how many people are buying content in game. Not only that, but each new map is 2-3 times the size of the old maps. Like I said, if you do a few portal maps and then an AOW map, that's reasonable, but if you are asking for 2-3 AOW maps a season, that's too much.
I doubt their player retention was high enough to do all that
Then ea should stop pretending they care about saving the game
Plus they had an assload of bugs and shit to fix. Current map reworks as well
This is smooth brain statement lol. If they didn't care, they wouldn't be releasing content or fixing bugs.
1 map per season for 4 seasons won't save it
Yes yes, you only got 1 map in season 1. We get it. But they did not do the bare minimum.
it will be funny if i as a publisher will force my studio to release an unfinished game near christmas time for maximum profit with half of the game assets undone as the studio tells me theyre not done with it yet
who agrees
We do a little trolling
Also dice is the one who cares about saving the game, not ea.
ea basically pulled the plug on anthem
Whatever restructuring is happening at dice we won't see the real fruits of it until the next bf
I somewhat agree with that actually
But 2042 is not a lost cause, and it's night and day compared to release
For BF1 it was
TSNP: 6 maps
ITNOTS: 6 maps
TT: 4 maps
AP: 5 maps
Total: 21 maps
Even apocalypses, at the very end of service managed to chuck in 5 maps. They're also focusing more on 64 now, so the scale thing is not a good excuse honestly.

most of the dice devs have left the studio already cause of on how god awful EA is
How many maps does BF1 have total? How many maps does 2042 have total now?
The 128p maps don't seem like they would require double the amount of artists
seem
Who knows.
BF1 had the most maps selection in the game
You only have 7 maps in 2042 (for AOW)
At the end of service, 31 maps.
At launch, 10.
With things like bf1 the map packs are more artistically diverse than a 128p map
You couldn't even count exposure? Really?
Like, providing a variety of visuals
2042 maps at launch 13.
Currently, 14.
31 maps aight
Now we have not even 10
We've got 14
Also they can add portal maps which don't require map designers
Have they specifically made any statements on how many portal maps will be released?
No
They said nothing is coming for Season 1, that they're looking into what will be added.
Indeed I said this
But the A-10, Frogfoot for BF3 is coming, and the BMD-3 and Hind is coming for BC2.
Cool
My heart skipped a beat. I didn't read the "for BF3" part and I was like NOOOOO
Putting those planes in AOW would be so moronic lol
I'm just curious on what Ripple have been doing these last seven months if all we're getting is vehicle reskins.
absolutely disgusting
how to let people know you suck ass at the game without actually saying it
well at least I'm glad we've gotten a new map
wait is that condor mastery or whatever the fuck you call it
Ide rather get only 1 map per season than get 4 with BF4's model
no
Imagine needing to flex this
So 4 map designers to make 2 aow maps and 0 to make the extra portal maps
I'd expect something like:
• 1 aow map and 2 portal maps, or
• 2 aow maps and 1 portal map
its both stealth choppers and a nightbird
Yes. I literally said this.
No
I could see them giving us a level editor like they mentioned in that survey with this content rollout rate. They lose nothing from people making their own maps, too, because maps aren't paid for in this game.
oh lmao
All they did is paint a target on themselves
Yes
Why tho 
Because it's an estimate based on map size alone, which is not the only factor
They said these have 2 map designers
bro im literally gonna break my fucking keyboard again
Per map
im getting so annoyed by all the stupid fucking bugs im getting now
What bugs?
random freezes, mackays hook not shooting at all, getting killed by invisible people, parachute not opening, spawn beacon getting stuck in my hands unable to place it
I wonder if I could recreate Exposure in BF2s level editor lol
I might try that actually
I kept getting this shit where my gun would stop firing even though I never took my finger off the trigger
Got me killed a lot
that too
and when you are going mp28 only uou need every bullet
OH AND OFCOURSE
FUCKING END ME
Yeah dude! You are the first one other than me to notice it
I use MP9. It will just stop firing
How the fuck did they still not fix that
I've gotten used to tap firing even at pretty close range. Seems to happen more with drum mag and suppressor
Its been 8 fucking months
And they still have shit causing your entire pc to freeze up
Not even holding the powerbutton does amything
On console I never crashed funny enough
Gotta literally turn off the psu
Damn
It's that gun jamming shit that drives me nuts
Anybody else experience that?
Man, this vehicle balancing on exposure breakthrough is so bad
Defenders get 2 jeeps versus a whole array of vehicles and don't get anything useful until last site
Attackers should really only have ground vehicles
No need for helis
Especially on that first sector, way too small for it
It's weird to me that they can adjust Sundances dmg in the backend but they can't adjust the 50mm on transports, and the rocket pods dmg
And maybe give defenders like 1 armored vehicle
Didn’t sundance have 3 kinds of grenades I just downloaded after a few months
This game just runs so poorly
I can't get above 100fps with a 5600x and 6800xt At 1440p
ya they removed emp
but u can have emp as a normal grenade so it's ok
They also gave rao paik's passive and gave paik a new passive 
Dice please fix the matchmaking so that it can actually find a server with players FFS the South African servers are dead on AOW. If it cant find a server with players on in ZA it should look for servers with a higher ping
Because rao's passive was shit 
The emp is such a no skill weapon lol
It's ridiculous imo that you can completely deny a ground vehicle of their functions (minus movement) when they're already so weak
Just try it out yourself
yeah but still lacking content
I can't fathom how stupidly strong Liz rockets are on tanks, fucken things do like 40 damage
any new weapons or still less weapons than any other battlefield game on release
Still
bullshit
People who say her missiles aren't really an issue don't play tanks.
But 2 new weapons
whos even working on this game, 1 dude?
A highly versatile as val and a crossbow
At least 10
It's sometimes impossible to play a tank
sure does feel like a skeleton crew if they update once a year
Because those rockets do so much damage
BT Exposure is the only good tanking map
There's far more cover and places to draw back to
But even still
They'll add 1 new map every 3 months for 4 seasons total
Emp, C4 drone, Lis' rockets, etc
The maps are all still pretty meh, the newest one is pretty good tho
Yh
too bad i cant get a refund on it and wait for the next BF
before they move on the next bf they better fix flying in this game
New map is good. But it's the only good map besides like renewal
I think I'm done getting my hopes up for new BF games personally
Especially with the shift in game design this game has taken
I expect significantly less vehicles in the next game, too
Seriously though when are they going to optimise the game ?
And even then all the good maps were removed because they got rid of breakthrough 128
Not out of want but DICEs inability to self reflect on poor vehicle balance and pinning the blame on unrelated things
You can't predict EA
I kinda feel like EA/DICE saw 2042 was going badly and just wanted to push it out the door so the main team can start a new project
EA execs did this
BF is gonna be the new cod with yearly shitty releases i guess
cant wait to see live service end in a few months
EA is hands off with their games now, have been for a while. I'm more inclined to believe management at DICE is at fault for this game.
I heard smth about 2042 was supposed to just be a BR
EA is also at fault for being too hands off with dice management
And that Dice wanted to make BC3 but EA execs declined it
Like they have a responsibility to ensure their studios are properly managed
BC3 would've just been BF3 anyway
ea rushed the game out of the door before the game was finished. They released it in beta state lol
Seriously though I can push bfv about be 200fps at ultra so why can't I get half those frames in bf2042 ??!
I'd take it over 2042 ngl
Wish bf1 was more popular again. It was the best battlefield in recent years
I do enjoy playing 2042 but goddamn there are just moments that irk me
W
Like what do people expect out of a BC3 lol
Just the story or? Because the multiplayer would inevitably just be like BF3, if it had been made back then.
Some of the best gunfights. The bolt action only servers were amazing
With humor
What region are you in? I have no problems finding consistently full matches on both PC and Console.
i dont think Dice even has budget to make a campaign
Also it was way more immersive, BF2042 went waaay backwards on that. I dont hear the cringey apex legends ripoff characters screaming when they run from a grenade
USW
Huh, do you use the server browser for finding matches?
Yes, most are 124+ ping
I don't care about campaign, but a new rush focused bf with amazing destruction would be cool
Whatcha talkin bout?
i have incredibly good internet
Weird
talkin about battlefield and why bf1 was better
I want vehicle destruction again
Parts of your tank would fly off in BC2 when taking a hit
maybe its like what happens with Rust where the server browser isnt accurate with ping
I've had that happen pretty often with BF games actually
I join the server and ping is fine, but it said otherwise
anyone know why theres so many bots?
Deadlobbies
funky
I don't even get bots to appear funny enough
might as well be playing a solo lobby
For some reason I’m remembering that it was BC1 with vehicle destruction but not in BC2 
Any1 want to play PS4 only
Even they don't wanna play
BF1 also had vehicle destruction, but I can't remember if BFV just had VFX or actual mesh changes when taking hits.
2042 it's just particle effects.
Unfortunate they removed the pop off animation from BFV, in 2042.
I see.
also why does 2042 have none of the destruction as bf4? like.. no buildings are collapsing
this saddens me greatly
A rush focused game would allow them to reaaaally flex destruction and fidelity and focused map design
Smth that also saddens me is the lack of vehicle customization compared to BF4
Like no fire extinguisher, gunners have no options for TV missiles and such
@wise zodiac are you on pc?
Spotter seat should be allowed to soflam imo
Idk what people are expecting out of destruction
more then what bf2042 delivers
Anyone else think Lis is actually highkey pretty cute?
Destruction like the game Teardown would be the peak. But that is ridiculously hardware intensive.
no
Example. Maybe add an event to tear down some of the wall on renewal
Nope.
bf4 wasnt and it had great destruction
I meant in terms of improvement
o
damn any mods that are im wondering if there is anyway of getting better fps without tanking the graphical qaulity
quality*
do you have a bad CPU or GPU
BF4 had horrible destruction. A downgrade in just about every way from BC2. It was mostly particle effects, the holes that would appear in walls were extremely static.
Not sure. We don't really assist with technical/game issues. Just discord stuff.
never played the bad company games
Lol?
ok guy
Running a tank through those barracks in BFV is so satisfying lol
top lobby with a pistol
I don't think destruction is always good, just in some places
people be bad
i imagine most players are bots now
Hard disagree lol
none are bots
everyone in the game sucks or bots and i cant even tell anymore
BC2 had really good tank cannon SFX
BC2 was ass in every way for me.
theres 10k players on a monday on steam alone
Agreed
i wouldnt say the 5600x and a 6800xt are bad not the best but certainly not bad
Did not enjoy it. Felt janky as shit, character movement was straight terrible
less than 100 mp28 kills till my journey ends
okay but are either underpowered compared to the other or are they equal level-ish
Jumping from 2142 to BC2 made it a lot more bearable for people I'd imagine. They're very similar to each other.
Linear modes are best for the all out destruction people seem to want
BC2 is just a limited version of 2142 with better graphics and gunplay lol
oh no i wouldnt say either is a bottleneck like in fh5 with high settings 1440p i hit 190fps but in bf2042 with high settings 1440p i get like 80 fps its a joke
turn off anti aliasing, enable DLSS on quality, enable nvidia reflex+boost
Even the tanks and air vehicles work the same
and like i said earlier in bfv i push 200fps
Food
how would i enable nvidia options when im running a 6800xt xD
ohhhh
rip
disable anti aliasing and anisotropic filtering or whatever its called
Idc what anyone says, this game fun af

but 50mm cannon on helis needs to be nerfed asap
Would be nice if you can actually disable AA
I wonder what their reasons are for the forced AA
I prefer AA visually but I'd say more people want an option to turn it off completely.
This is the second time now they won't let you.
And the command you could use to disable it in BFV no longer works like it did there.
Well interestingly, I’ve been playing lots of RDR2 recently, and when you boot it up it enables TAA by itself. That game has the worst TAA I’ve ever seen, but when you disable it, not only do the sharp edges appear which drastically improves the clarity, but there are lighting effects in the background for distant shadows, trees, clouds etc that kind of shimmer and there are streaks of light and shadow. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s something to do with modern graphics and the way that lighting and shadows work that creates noise that can only be ‘removed’ by using TAA
But without a doubt, on bf<V and RDR2 without taa is so much clearer. I can see movement against objects much easier, I feel like I’m actually focussing on what’s in front of me
It might just be my shit monitor but each time I turn off AA in BF1, it looks like everything is fuzzy and shiny
Same with BF4
That’s the big downside to taa. On low resolution monitors especially it completely ruins the sharpness
Can I dm you what I mean?
Go ahead
Looks like a mess with it off, in fact gates flat out do not render
they just become tiny inconsistent black lines
Let me boot up my pc to have a proper look
The name alone would be a dead giveaway that it's a bot
at the fortnite battlepass?
wut
Booted up my pc
Cuz i need need
To get the fortnite battlepass
i like fortnite
did i mention fortnite
i like fortnite
give away these [redacted]
I'm on XSX. If I disable cross-play and if not enough players exist to fill the lobbies, are bots populating them? And if so, do I miss out on some progression aspect? Sorry if this is a ignorant question but I don't own the game yet
Bots will fill up spots if the lobby has missing players and killing bots in a public lobby will still count towards all progression, tier 1's e.c.t
Ty
np
At least make them advanced difficulty
maniac
I just can't force myself to T1 with the GVT or the MCS or any of the snipers, not without my k/d suffering irreparably 
and you can forget any of the vehicles 
i made a great sacrifice

Until some cherry-picked Portal guns get added 
what did you do
T1'ed all weapons
i actually like the weapons in this game
in 2142 it felt so good to get the new weapons
because there wasnt many
this feels like that
Op
Make an official tdm mode dam
I'm trying of playing the Chilean assassin's
In portal
With their bs lag
Obliteration should come back, that way more places of the map could be used as "objectives"
