battlefield-2042

[mental delta]

Idk why Angel players revive more than Falck ones

Maybe they are just better

[arctic grove]

As a Angel Main, i confirm

[naive sandal]

Probably with repair tool?

[arctic grove]

My record is 61 revives in Breakthrough

And i died like 20 times

[mental delta]

Mine is 51 in conquest

[arctic grove]

64 or 128?

[mental delta]

They said no, it was with plates but Angle doesn't have them anymore

[mental delta]

I would say 128 but I am not sure

[calm bison]

The most prolific medics are BFV medics

[arctic grove]

Angel with plates was the Best Specialist

[torn wigeon]

I see 4 a game

[mental delta]

They are the most dedicated ones

[slim quiver]

I mained medic in every single BF until 2042

[torn wigeon]

They dont exist i thought that said paik

[arctic grove]

now paik??

[arctic grove]

What
I always see a Falck everytime

[slim quiver]

I play paik because she’s the specialist I like

[torn wigeon]

How

[mental delta]

Me too, they just don't revive

[slim quiver]

The forced specialists into medics I don’t like

[arctic grove]

Because free wallhack

[naive sandal]

But also reveals paik's position

[calm bison]

Mackay is cool because Canadian Spider-Man

[mental delta]

I would love being able to use defibrillator as a gadget for any specialist since we don't have classes anymore

[arctic grove]

I see paik of my squad reviving me more than falck mains

[calm bison]

The introduction of Lis has made me dislike specialists a little bit more

[arctic grove]

T H I S I S T O O E A S Y

[obsidian elk]

Sounds like a personal problem.

[mental delta]

I don't like the G84

[naive sandal]

Skill issue

[calm bison]

I wouldn’t mind the G84 if everyone wasn’t using it

[arctic grove]

i like specialists but classes too

[obsidian elk]

Which one is G84?

[mental delta]

I prefer classes

[calm bison]

Lis’ literal fucking TV missile

[obsidian elk]

Ahh

Yeah it's wild

On Exposure Defense, every Lis just fires the TV rocket

[calm bison]

This game has the worst vehicle balance of the franchise and yet DICE keeps introducing AT specialists

[obsidian elk]

and looks for the tank

it's so cringe

To be fair, tanks just need more armor

[calm bison]

We need more tanks

[obsidian elk]

Ground vehicles in general don't need buffs, only tanks, and even then, only in terms of tankiness

[calm bison]

Dude tanks in this game feel awful

[obsidian elk]

I agree that more tanks would be cool, but you can already customize current tanks to either be Anti-Tank or Anti-Infantry (blast radius)

[calm bison]

Like IdK what it was but BFV had the best tanks

[last swift]

Tanks need APS

[obsidian elk]

So what would another type of tank accomplish in terms of strategic niche in the game?

I disagree that tanks feel awful, they are very strong

They just have too many counters right now

[mental delta]

Reactive armor ?

[calm bison]

Or we let players have access to more of them

[last swift]

no, something like the APS-36 Shootdown Sentinel

[calm bison]

Instead of blue balling all of the tank players

[mental delta]

The Boris turret ?

[calm bison]

Like why is it only 1 attack vehicle per side DICE?

why

[last swift]

Irish gadget

[calm bison]

Basically a trophy system

[mental delta]

Ho yes, I think BF4 tanks had that

[calm bison]

Lis would be less powerful imo if her rockets didn’t recharge over time

[last swift]

yeah, I mean it´s 2042, tanks should have it

[calm bison]

Considering this is the sequel to BF4, it makes even more sense

[mental delta]

I never proceeded how it was working

Like it could destroy a specific amount of explosives before impact right ?

[last swift]

yes, helps against rockets from above, like the javelin

[mental delta]

Ho ok, but not from the sides ?

[torn wigeon]

I think the emp should have a sticky type for helis if they get close enough

[last swift]

also, but the top is usually the weak point

[mental delta]

Ok ok thanks

[obsidian elk]

Yo

the K30 skin in the battlepass

is sick af

I'm so bored of seeing Sundance

So damn common

Every other character I see

is that one

or Lis

[ornate pecan]

Did anyone notice the “canal blocker” charm in the battle pass? I think charms are silly, don’t really care for them, but...I appreciate the joke.

[fossil trench]

Because they’re OP lol

Easy af to get scatter multi kills on the new map

[uncut bay]

not really op, players are just dumb and prefer to tank grenades instead of running

scatter got nerfed enough, fuse is pretty long

[dull carbon]

STOP CALLING SUNDANCE "SHE"

😡 😡 😡

[vocal adder]

why you so angry haha 😂

[dull carbon]

[obsidian elk]

Ugh I really want that red level color

It's at level 100 right?

[dull carbon]

Yes

I have it

[obsidian elk]

He's making fun of twitter

[dull carbon]

I have no idea why level 80-90 is uhh... Pink?

Why pink

Why not gold

[uncut bay]

yeah the color progression is really weird

[dull carbon]

Yeah

The starter black color is the coolest

🤡

[uncut bay]

i like the red a lot

[ornate pecan]

Meanwhile, I only use Angel 98% of the time. I pull out Falck when I can, because I prefer a medic role, but it’s very rare that I can do so, because I’m usually stuck on anti-vehicle duty and need to supply myself with rockets. Quite literally, the only other operator I’ve ever used since actual launch is the one with the spotting UAV.

[obsidian elk]

I'm impressed at how you completely 180'd that topic to be completely about you

[hoary nest]

Howdy

[buoyant coyote]

Why does Sundance mastery have to be grenades what can't it be something with wingsuit

[tame cobalt]

Ppl play sundance cuz they're the most fun

Sundance gang

[tacit sphinx]

the wingsuit is the passive ability, all other specialist masteries are related to either the gadget or the gadget + the passive in a couple of cases where it can actually be applicable

[hoary nest]

We need a Wake Island remaster .... JS

[tacit sphinx]

also idk what you’d do other than like “fly X distance using sundance’s wingsuit” which is... not the most engaging challenge

[tame cobalt]

Kill X enemies from behind

[tame cobalt]

Wake island 2014

Remake

[buoyant trail]

Sundance more like unfundance

[tranquil turtle]

I too lean towards support-oriented specialists. As a Falck main, I'll revive as many people as I can but it saddens me seeing Sundance mains do nothing to help their team

[tame cobalt]

[tranquil turtle]

Dumbdance

[mental delta]

[buoyant trail]

Dumbdance is better

[tame cobalt]

I help my team by being the only person in my team playin a fun specialist

Sundance doesn't do nothing to help team tho

[tranquil turtle]

Never revives, never gives ammo, never gives health, never spots enemies

[tame cobalt]

But I'm not gonna explain why cuz idc

I main sundance and falck

[tranquil turtle]

Sundance was created to be used by streamers

[tame cobalt]

🤨

[steel pike]

everyone here lacks the amount of braincells

[mental delta]

[steel pike]

and

silence

..

[tame cobalt]

Yes

[tame cobalt]

U dutch or south african?

[mental delta]

Maining Sundance and Falck is a crime

[tame cobalt]

Y

[steel pike]

why does everyone keep asking me am i dutch or south african

im neither

[tame cobalt]

German

[steel pike]

no

[tame cobalt]

[tame cobalt]

cuz ur name

[buoyant trail]

What a time to be alive

[steel pike]

bruh

i just use it cuz i dont know anything else

[mental delta]

They destroyed the lore with their shitty specialists quotes

a

[low timber]

I just went 41/0 with the BSV-M

And 7 more to T1 it.

[visual gazelle]

My deal with some Specialists is that their abilities are very selfish. Like Mackay, his grapple hook is only for himself, he can't lay it down for his squad to follow him.

I wish it was like Battlefield Hardline where it's a grapple hook that's placed down.

[vocal adder]

The BSV-M needs a slight dmg nerf tbh its way to quick to kill people with

[low timber]

Yup, I’ve out sniped snipers with bolt-actions with it.

Tho it does get quite a lot of spread on the medium to long ranges. Even with Cobra grip and Bipod.

[arctic grove]

They have the higher potential for a good campaign

[tranquil turtle]

This

[lone void]

Just saw a euro gamer article complaining that battlefield 2042 has Russia as a faction and it makes me want to cry

[tame cobalt]

A zipline?

Would be kinda interesting if you leave a zipline behind each time you use grapple

That lasts for like 2 mins or whatever

And can be shot down by enemies

[obsidian elk]

What does the X mean when someone is downed?

The X on the revive icon

[tame cobalt]

[arctic grove]

🤓

[visual gazelle]

Yeah, like Pathfinder in Apex Legends! His zipline is for not only himself, but for his squad too! And it should be the same for Mackay.

[tame cobalt]

They pressed the hold to redeploy button i think

[low timber]

Wtf, my points xp requirement just jumped from 8 000 to 8 750

[coral musk]

Anyone from the states here playing

[wintry nova]

Maybe they just don't like Ivan's

[tame cobalt]

But that's his ult

[dull carbon]

Deep Rock Galactic zipline

[arctic grove]

shit game

bf 4 better

[visual gazelle]

And why does that make a difference? Mackay only grapples himself so his squadmates can't follow him. Mackay is leaving his squadmates behind and any squad synergy is gone.

[steel pike]

ok

[arctic grove]

sex

[steel pike]

no

[arctic grove]

cringe

[steel pike]

one of the admins or mods muted my friend for political pfp

[arctic grove]

L

[tame cobalt]

So how do u suggest it should work

[steel pike]

these guys are ghosts

lmao

[arctic grove]

@steel pikelet's go to #other-games

[steel pike]

kk

[visual gazelle]

Turn Mackay's grapple hook into a zipline like Pathfinder's or a Battlefield Hardline grapple hook. Both gadgets allow squadmates to follow.

[tame cobalt]

But then no more grapple hook

How does hardline grapple hook work

[uncut bay]

you grapple somewhere and make a zipline

and i agree, mackay has zero squadplay and i don't think that should be encouraged in any specialist

[tame cobalt]

Sounds kool can enemies use it

[uncut bay]

yeah

[tame cobalt]

[still vault]

Pair him with a creative spawnpoints

[uncut bay]

dependent on external gadgets

[tame cobalt]

Med crate is the ultimate battlefield gadget

[uncut bay]

not great imo

[tame cobalt]

By using it for yourself you automatically help teammates as well

[uncut bay]

yeah medkit is great

ammo crate, spotting balls, etc

[tame cobalt]

So mackay rework should follow the medkit ideal of automatically helping teammates when doing your own thing?

Sounds pog

[uncut bay]

grapple and shield though, they're horrible as specialist gadgets in a teamwork-oriented game because while they can be used for squadplay, there's zero incentive to do so and/or or they're dependent on the player deciding to use another gadget

imo shield should give points for taking damage, and grapple should be reworked like discussed above

[tame cobalt]

tru dat

Or when you use it near squadmates it automatically extends to provide more shield

Or some shit

Idk

Smart shield, actual future tech

Sounds dumb tho

[craggy onyx]

wHY DOES the enemy ai rubberband the players

[compact remnant]

hii

[still vault]

Zippy boy and flying squirrel both suffer from that then. Perhaps locking them with the spawn point gadget like the new specialist is locked out of further rockets might be an idea.

[tame cobalt]

Most likely a skill issue

[craggy onyx]

its on easy

they keep tping on objectives

[tame cobalt]

[compact remnant]

yo bros

[arctic grove]

AI Best medic

[tame cobalt]

[uncut bay]

sundance isn't as bad because an offensive gadget is still helpful to the team, especially ones designed for anti armor and area denial. I don't think forcing one gadget is a great solution, if that's all they have then might as well not change anything

and yes while grapple is used for offensive purposes, it's not strictly for that

maneuvering the map with grapple is a rather selfish endeavour, and so having a zipline deploy would be great for allowing a squad or team to take up a previously unavailable flank

[tame cobalt]

Leaving a temporary zipline behind sounds like a good idea

They can even make it his passive

And remove the dumb ads movement buff passive

[arctic grove]

My

Eyes
Hurt

[still vault]

Leaving ziplines have been great before so don't see why it couldn't work now.

[tame cobalt]

And for sundance, change their gadget to be a jump pad

[tacit sorrel]

Not a fan of the portal maps with 2042 assets

[tame cobalt]

Why tho

[tacit sorrel]

Because it’s 2042 😆

[craggy onyx]

Im waiting for BF1 in 2042 portal

[tame cobalt]

The reused assets just feel like remakes of the old assets

[tacit sorrel]

It’s fun with the proper factions

[tame cobalt]

Like... Why would they make special cargo crate assets for noshahr when they already have cargo crates

It just works

[tame cobalt]

It's fun with 2042 factions too

But sundance kinda useless on portal maps

Not enough jump points

So who's gonna make a post on ea forums suggesting the mackay rework?

[arctic grove]

Valparaiso my favorite Map

[tame cobalt]

Valpo is great for rush

Kinda trash for tdm and conquest though

But yeah, it's designed to be a rush map

So it does what it's supposed to do very well

[arctic grove]

And hourglass
Best map in shooter history

[tame cobalt]

Wut

[arctic grove]

Even if all population of earth come together to make a map would not be better than hourglass

[craggy onyx]

Discovered Angel works well with at

spam loadout crates with a rocket launcher and you got at ammo for ages

[arctic grove]

Yes

4 rockets with Angel

R.I.P tanks

[edgy oriole]

It depends how good the tank is. If he just sits there no repair then yes. Otherwise if there is a repair it takes 30 years to reload an m5 so the damage from the first rocket will already be repaired before next shot.

Now a squad of angels will do it. Plus 1 maybe.

[slender gull]

Is there any way to completely turn off the chat? I have it set to hide and I've even turned the background opacity all the way down (just in case there was some weirdness in how the game worked), and nothing is turning the chat off.

I don't want to have to sit here and be distracted by PC players whining about everything.

[narrow totem]

did they remove the option to type in text chat on the Xbox series x?

[slender gull]

The option is there, it just doesn't function. I was wondering if there was something I was missing.

[arctic grove]

I can destroy a tank alone if i have at least some cover

[narrow totem]

oh because if they removed it then that's dum

[lone void]

Same

[narrow totem]

teammates can't even push

[arctic grove]

And i can't do that in Hourglass

[nova sundial]

Season 1 out yet?

[marble wing]

Are there any in-game earn-able timed limited cosmetic, aside the ones from the battle pass?

[slender gull]

It's been out for a couple weeks now.

[nova sundial]

Huh there is a bp now!? Whens it end?

[edgy oriole]

3 months

[lone void]

You apparently missed all the weekly missions

[nova sundial]

Ok good i have time

[edgy oriole]

1.0 update came before season 1 too.

[slender gull]

I just don't understand why I have to be subjected to the garbage chat. Console can't even send chat messages, so what is the point of me seeing it?

[lone void]

Console can send chat wym

[nova sundial]

I finally am actually gonna get my £110 worth

[narrow totem]

but it ain't letting me

[edgy oriole]

Hide chat function works for pc. Idk why it's not working for you console folks.

[lone void]

What console?

[narrow totem]

xbox series x

[lone void]

Oh

I'm on PS5

[red lark]

You sure I can lvl weapons in solo coop

[tidal hare]

vcar is actually good when you create a clicker for it

[lone void]

Pause and R2 opens my chat keyboard

[narrow totem]

you can

[lone void]

Unfortunately also can't hide the chat thi

[tidal hare]

so you dont need to do about 520 cpm

[lone void]

I resorted to making it as small as possible

[red lark]

@narrow totem okay nice, I just want quick consistent matches atm

[edgy oriole]

You can get all attachments I think k but you can't do it to t1 a weapon.

[lone void]

You can get to mastery 12 in bot games

[red lark]

That's more than okay

[lone void]

You can get all attacents because they only require kills, not mastery

Game kinda generous

[pine roost]

has there been any word on when we can expect the new portal vehicles or even the next patch? Is there a chance it be coming this month?

[hidden sand]

The next update will be in July

[pine roost]

that seems to be the schedule, I just really want something new to provide me with an incentive to play again

[hidden sand]

I feel ya. I'm just waiting for tank improvements at this point.

[pine roost]

there's so many good feedback videos on the topic of vehicles that I would hope things will turn around for the better

[hidden sand]

They could also look to WoTs, like they did for BFV lol

[grizzled whale]

yeah like removing all aerial vehicles completely

[elder patrol]

Spaghetti

[grizzled whale]

With meatballs even

[elder patrol]

Yeeee

[calm bison]

But why? Why would you do that? Why?

[grizzled whale]

cuz bad

[hidden sand]

Speaking of tanks though, I was under 24 hours old when I realized BF4 has armour angling.

[pine roost]

for real?

[calm bison]

I mean kinda?

[pine roost]

how did you not know that

[hidden sand]

Well tbf the game doesn't tell you

[calm bison]

Also I imagine a ricochet would lead to very minimal damage being sustained

So why in BFV do I get hit with a ricochet and lose 15 health

Instead of like 7

[pine roost]

heck I knew that back in 2015 when I first got it, you could just tell by the number of points you got

so in that sense it does kind of tell you

well at least you know now

[hidden sand]

Time to fuck shit up with tanks in BF4 with this knowledge lmao

The dmg decrease is insane

[pine roost]

In the one game where angular tank damage doesn't exist too

[slate meadow]

Nice to see they still haven't bothered to fix the getting out of vehicles bug

[pine roost]

in 2042 that is

[hidden sand]

2042 tank v tank is just whoeever shoots first wins

[pine roost]

that's usually how it works in most tank games is it not?

[near bolt]

Making platoon for 2042. Have some members lined up making the discord now. If you would like to join shoot me a message, will be some time before its completely set up. Will need Xbox and PC co leaders eventually. I'm on ps5

[hidden sand]

When you have amour angling, there's better ways to deal with an opposing tank.

If you get shot at first in BFV, you still have a chance at getting back if you know the right angle, and punish the enemy tanks bad ones.

[pine roost]

Using cover to expose only the angled faces was something I did in bf4 quite a bit. but my general awareness back then was so lacking that I'd be flanked anyway

not having angled damage bonuses is just strange. it adds that extra bit of depth to tank combat but they just forgot it

[hidden sand]

Do parts in 2042 break randomly, or is it context based?

[pine roost]

I wish I could say, but 'part damaged' doesn't really explain it a whole lot :/

I'm surprised that they initially designed it so that it doesn't actually display the part you hit, that's some very important information

[low timber]

Finally, Irish T1. Now all the launch specialists are in T1.

[solid imp]

So kind of... they added it later but it's not clear what exactly you damaged or how much still. They did add damage multipliers for the tank tracks and hits to rear armor

[hidden sand]

What'd work as well would be visual indicators on the tank itself, like BFV had.

Tracks creaking and sparking, engine on fire and busted, etc.

[tame cobalt]

Chad

[pine roost]

the video i watched was 6 months old I admit, perhaps they've changed it since then but i feel I would have heard about it if that was the case

[solid imp]

Found the treads one, struggling to find the rear hit one
0.4.1 notes

Added an additional damage multiple versus tank tracks

[pine roost]

that's already a thing In V, no mention of angle damage changes anywhere?

[solid imp]

I'm.... almost certain there's no angle damage multipliers... but also can't seem to find anything beyond that quote I posted so maybe I just had a dream about it lol

[pine roost]

there is already a multiplier for hitting the side and the back, the back dealing the most damage. Hitting the tracks from the front in bfv had a higher multiplier than hitting the front armour, which must be what that change is

[solid imp]

Sorry yes, meant *change to damage multipliers

I really would have sworn there was a patch note specific to the rear hits but /shrug

Does anyone have an idea why i can't change the priority of BF2042.exe in details taskmanager? All it says is acces denied (yes im admin)

I hoped it would enhance the performance when using ultra/rtx a little... when there is a lot of smoke i have performance issues with RTX on

[naive sandal]

Sucks that we can't chat in between rounds! I use the remote play mobile app when I have to type stuff

[pine roost]

can't you just disable chat on console? I just press H, job done

[slender gull]

I usually use the app when I need to type as well, yeah. It's just so much more convenient.

[slender gull]

Not on Xbox, no. The option is completely non-functional, and always has been as far as I'm aware.

Waste of a menu slot if the option does nothing.

[pine roost]

well that's unfortunate. have you contacted anyone about it? Sent a report or something?

[slender gull]

Nah. It's not a big enough deal, I'm usually more focused on what's going on in the game than the chat, sometimes it's just really annoying watching people argue over dumb shit in the chat.

[blissful thicket]

Using AMD 5950x, 32GB ram, 6900XT LC and game on PCIe 4.0 NVMe ssd... performance ultra/RTX sucks... guess i should have bought green camp for this game

[pine roost]

something as simple as that should function though if the button exists. I know how you feel to a degree, i've been waiting since launch for a simple toggle to be added to the settings that has existed for every title I've played. but that's besides the point, it's still worth bringing it up

[slate meadow]

So will they be releasing a new map before the end of season 1 ?

Or will the s be it now for another 8months?

[solid imp]

Kaleidoscope re-work should be released during S1

[slate meadow]

So a rework but no new maps ? Like are they keeping both the old kaleidoscope and the rework or binning the o.g off

[mental delta]

What device are you playing on ?

[solid imp]

I would assume binning the old

and probably tinkering some playlists like they did with Exposure so players get funneled more into the new Kaleidoscope

[naive sandal]

Ps5

[mental delta]

They are deleting the old one and keeping the new one

[mental delta]

There is a remote app, and you can use it in chat ?

[naive sandal]

Yep

The official remote play app

[mental delta]

Wtf

Why nobody never told me

I was typing all my messages with controller like a weirdo, took me hours every time

[naive sandal]

But for some reetorrrded reasons console players can't chat in between rounds

[analog stirrup]

that's for the best

[mental delta]

But you can use the app during matches ?

[mental delta]

There's no lobbies anyway so chatting around couldn't be a thing I think

[naive sandal]

Can't use it at same time as controller, which sucks

[naive sandal]

So I only use it when tying

[mental delta]

Ok ok didn't know that

[naive sandal]

Takes 1 sec to connect

[mental delta]

Yes I understand

[mental delta]

I'll try to use it now

[naive sandal]

They should have had a proper bf2042 mobile companion app

But we know that's probably not happening any time soon

[mental delta]

That would be more interesting yeah

Lol no it will not happen

[dull carbon]

Not the remote play app

Thats for playing on your phone

Theres ANOTHER app

Called Second Screen

[naive sandal]

Only availble on ps4 tho? Last time I couldn't connect my ps5 to it

[dull carbon]

Lemme check

Well idk it says ps4 second screen

And to connect to ps4

[naive sandal]

I do remember using second screen on ps4 years ago

Loved it

[dull carbon]

But i mean if remote play works then just use that

Anyone played Erica?

[naive sandal]

Unfortunately doesn't work with ps5

[dull carbon]

A game

On ps

It had an app

[naive sandal]

Remote play doesn't allow dualsense and phone to be connected simultaneously

[dull carbon]

That turned your phone into the controller

Really cool stuff

[obsidian elk]

How on Earth are you supposed to legitimately earn T1 Dozer lmfao

[arctic grove]

[mental delta]

What does it require ?

[oak sedge]

I think it's kills earned by reflecting bullets with his shield

[obsidian elk]

800 bitchslaps with his shield

[oak sedge]

Oh

That's not as bad

[obsidian elk]

If this was the case it would be 10x better

he also needs to get EXP points for deflecting bullets

and EXP points for teammate kills on distracted targets

[oak sedge]

Nah just camp an elevator on Hourglass or Kaleidoscope and bonk anyone that goes inside

[mental delta]

How are we supposed to do that exactly ?

[chilly jacinth]

and then get instantly pummeled by 50 explosives

[solid imp]

I miss being commander from any PC in Battlelog 🙂

[solid imp]

Unironically I think he should get extra XP for damage done to enemies with deflected bullets. And Irish should get savior assist XP for friendlies who would have otherwise died from bullets his shield interrupted.

[blissful thicket]

exposure breaktrough... 22 vs 46 ppl 😮

the entire game

why is that even possible?

[violet meteor]

Oh hello

[obsidian elk]

Are there any Portal modes that usually have lots of bots?

Trying to farm Dozer t1

[blissful thicket]

solo game?

[violet meteor]

Don't think you can t1 solo or in portal

[obsidian elk]

Online bot kills count, solo won't

[blissful thicket]

ah ok 🙂

[obsidian elk]

Solo bots only go up to Mastery 12

[violet meteor]

Dope

[fiery shoal]

yea its a good gpu, but cpu is more important

[grizzled whale]

solo goes up to mastery 12, portal you can, as long as its a server with no rules changed

[fiery shoal]

tbf your entire system is challenged in 2042

[hidden sand]

Apparently paik does a little hop in the match intro showing off your squad lmao

[fiery shoal]

Hello dad

[hidden sand]

@pine roost
Yup, they added a track multipler.
21 dmg from the front, 26 from the tracks.

With the M5 Recoiless, that is, though.

Can't test it out with another tank.

[mental delta]

Can you complete weekly missions in solo ?

[grizzled whale]

idk

[mental delta]

[grizzled whale]

i dont care for anything in the battlepass

[mental delta]

Why don't you know ?

[grizzled whale]

[mental delta]

What's that shit

[grizzled whale]

[violet meteor]

Rocking that mackay skin

Monckay skin

[hidden sand]

mmmh C4 drone. Gotta love it.

[violet meteor]

I see

"Hey mooooommmmm? Can I see the gun in your purse really quickkkk?"

[plain needle]

So what are y’all’s thoughts on the game now?

[hidden sand]

It's been improved in terms of stability, but the gameplay is about the same, imo.

[plain needle]

Cus I’m enjoying it but the player count on Xbox is not there

[violet meteor]

Still a ways to go

[mental delta]

Activate cross play

[quiet shell]

So according to DICE's general manager DICE is shelving any projects they would've moved onto from 2042 too instead put all focus on 2042 for up too 3 years

[buoyant trail]

[plain needle]

I have it on now, I’m still messing with sensitivity’s to combat high reaction times with a mouse

[violet meteor]

Dope

They did say they were playing the long game after all

[plain needle]

Source?

[mental delta]

I know, I'm also having trouble with PC players moving to easily

[plain needle]

Or a link would do

Cus that’s dope if so

[plain needle]

It’s frustrating

[hidden sand]

I'm surprised they're saying that.

[quiet shell]

https://gamingbolt.com/battlefield-2042-studio-has-no-time-for-other-projects-says-new-general-manager

[hidden sand]

Maybe the new GM believes in recovering games and actually supporting them post-recovery lol

[plain needle]

Thanks!

[stone cradle]

Pretty obvious strategy, though it's sad it looks like we might not see a ME game ever again for years, we need a good BF first

[foggy halo]

wait till the community will be disappointed with something, become extremely negative and dice abandoning the game

[quiet shell]

Mirrors Edge 2 was a flop so I don't see them revisiting it unless they have a reason to revive the franchise

[violet meteor]

Not before giving me 3 more seasons lol

[plain needle]

Okay yea I seen Rebecca’s quote in level caps video, I didn’t see they we’re actually serious about commiting to this game though

Weither or not they do is a different story

[silk surge]

I'm currently trying BFV... and the server browser has pages after pages of full 64/64 servers. Love to see it.

[mental delta]

The interview shows how much they don't understand people's feedbacks on the game, even if most of players like the new map and "new content", almost everyone agreed the season has almost no content which apparently they can't understand

[stone cradle]

I mean yeah ME always wasn't targetting a wide audience, It was DICE's passion project.

[grizzled whale]

speaking of that, that last episode of kenobi was fucking amazing

[tacit sorrel]

They have to provide 3 more seasons or get sued

[plain needle]

Oh bet

[quiet shell]

I'm sure she's well aware of the lack of content, she did mention they've taken in a lot of feedback for the game

Which I can believe given how often the DICE devs come in here and ask for feedback or are open to being pinged for feedback

[plain needle]

Two months was spent doing a bunch of stuff

[quiet shell]

Two months was spent restructuring the studio cause for better or worse it was a shitshow

[plain needle]

Yea that

I didn’t wanna say anything and be wrong

[hidden sand]

The ||Duel between vader and obi-wan was good, but one thing I've noticed is how unoriginal nearly every story beat in this show is. It's almost a 1 to 1 recreation of the Ahsoka and Vader meetup in Rebels, down to the voice change and helmet busting lol.||

[mental delta]

But she didn't mention it specifically and I have still never seen a Dice dev or official said they were aware of the lack of content, it seems like they read the feedbacks but don't give a shit about lack of content

[quiet shell]

They addressed the lack of content in the post season 1 launch video and said they'll have a lot more for season 2

[pine roost]

neat. That's one more legacy feature back lol

[plain needle]

I like how they said they would make their cosmetics more militiaized and down to earth

[mental delta]

If they really plan to support the game for 3 years, well they probably have good plans and know what they want to do, however they really have to make efforts on the amount of content because season 1 proved it's still not here

[hidden sand]

We just need armour angling back and more unique and varied loadouts for tanks.

[plain needle]

Angels helmet doesn’t lie lol

[mental delta]

I understand but I have some doubts about it sorry

[hidden sand]

I don't see this game getting 3 years of support but I will gladly be proven wrong. If this game can actually turnaround that would be great.

[mental delta]

Considering we waited 8 months for season 1 to get two weapons which one is more of a gadget than a real weapon, I can hardly get how they could give more content in season 2

[mental delta]

That's a point they didn't lie on, they really deleted weird cosmetics to make more militarized ones

[plain needle]

But yea, angels forest camo goes hard

[quiet shell]

They spent that 8 months finishing and fixing the game.

How would you guys have reacted if they went forward with season 1 on schedule while the game was still as broken as it was?

[hard plume]

I miss Angels voice, they did them dirty

[mental delta]

It was mostly fixed with the 4.0 update

[hidden sand]

Yes, an accumulation of the work they've done the last 7 months...

[mental delta]

Lol everytime people complain for something they want it back two weeks after, everybody wanted to see Angel's voices deleted and now everyone miss them

[quiet shell]

Not all of it and that doesn't mean season 1 wasn't in development during that time

[hard plume]

Basically like “games still broke, they spend too much time on content that sucks!!1!22!2!22’ garble garble death threats death threats

[tacit sorrel]

GrEAd should’ve delayed it a year

[quiet shell]

Exactly

[mental delta]

I mean it was mostly fixed in March or April, all the work done after was just not necessary

[hidden sand]

I don't miss them, but I miss the memes lol.

[quiet shell]

No one is denying that

[hard plume]

I always loved his voice lines, well not love but didnt care too bitch about em

[mental delta]

The game wasn't that broken anymore after March or April update

[tacit sorrel]

Post match is less annoying now lol

[hard plume]

It was never annoying

[tacit sorrel]

Those lines were awful

[mental delta]

I agree, that wouldn't really fit in a 2042 war atmosphere where everything is collapsing

[mental delta]

Memes will still be here don't worry

[hidden sand]

It was kind of annoying imo. Complete tone killer, among a lot of other things in the game.

[elder patrol]

Spaghetti

[foggy halo]

Kyle Rittenhouse

[arctic grove]

[quiet shell]

Yeah and thats probably when they started development for season 1, which required them to rework everything because season 1's pre-launch development didn't fit what DICE wants with 2042 now. I bet you they had all kinds of goofy cosmetics they had to cut and replace with something new and rebuild the map likely from scratch to fit the proper approach to maps

[mental delta]

Wasn't the worst thing in the whole game but I'm glad they deleted them

[quiet shell]

Remember when dataminers found the Santa boris skin in the game files before it was scrubbed?

[obsidian elk]

Anyone else find it strange that the heli is so incredibly and noticeably overpowered but no one bothers to alter their builds to counter it?

[hard plume]

I’m not, those lines were great because they represented the fans

[tacit sorrel]

Nobody uses Rao lol

[next onyx]

It's ironic since Rao is actually pretty good.

[hidden sand]

I really doubt it was rebuilt from scratch, it was probably just modified to fit that feedback better.
You can notice a lot of similar problems to the base maps in it, even still.

[arctic grove]

I don't alter my build because, as it turns out, the helicopters aren't that OP

They will fuck you of course

[mental delta]

They definitely had those kind of cosmetics you mentioned and effectively deleted them all, and I'm glad they did it but I would still like to see more content however

[hidden sand]

Why do so many people think Rao is useless/weak? It always confuses me lol.

[tacit sorrel]

I’d rather just spam AA with angel tho tbh

[arctic grove]

But I still don't get killed by them much.

[next onyx]

That 50MM makes transport helis better than attack helicopters.

[uncut bay]

not really, helicopters are immensely broken and 90% of the time you won't get anywhere trying to take them down by yourself

[next onyx]

It's too much on the transports.

They need to make it only good against armour and that's it.

[uncut bay]

i just avoid them

[next onyx]

Give it the wildcat treatment.

[uncut bay]

exposure is good for that

[obsidian elk]

Honestly, I believe the issue of people not countering the heli, is completely regardless of how overpowered it is.

The problem is the lack in satisfaction in countering the heli. That's why people don't do it.

That's why people prefer to die over and over to the OP 50mm because they don't feel enough satisfaction from just making the heli flare and fly away.

People play games to have fun, they don't want to be forced a certain way. And if you are forcing them a certain way (have to deal with overpowered helicopter) people need incentives to do so. They need a strong reason to pick up an AA aside from "it will help us win the game"

[uncut bay]

transports need less speed and complete removal of the 50mm

[next onyx]

I do have a clip of getting an 11 man with the Hinds' Grenade launchers.

[mental delta]

How would those lines represented the fans ???

[next onyx]

Thing is though. Since the heli had to get close everyone could actually hit it.

[hidden sand]

The wildcat can demolish transports now lol.

[uncut bay]

yeah grenade launchers i don't mind as much since they have such limited range, but from what i've experienced they do seem very effective at times

[next onyx]

Yeah they're effective but also useless from a range.

[hard plume]

They were cringey and dumb

[tacit sorrel]

A nice change compared to bfv imo

[mental delta]

You just insulted yourself dude come on

[hard plume]

And yet, you’re not denying it.

Because we both know in your heart of hearts, it. Is. True

[tacit sorrel]

They talk enough in game

[arctic grove]

They aren't that OP. Idk I find them easy to avoid. Like they don't kill me super often, they are just hard to kill alone

[tacit sorrel]

And pre

[mental delta]

All fans aren't cringey and dumb as you supposed it, some people were just bothered the game didn't fit their expectations, that doesn't make them dumb, they were just angry

[grizzled whale]

since S1 yeah

if you get a good wildcat you can keep transports on away from points the whole game

[uncut bay]

shame that 1 in 100 people have a brain capable of using the wildcat effectively. Besides, you don't fix a broken vehicle by buffing another, transports still need a nerf

[mental delta]

The game lacks a light transport helicopter like a Venum form BF4 because Condors and Hinds are too heavy

[hard plume]

Idk how people say transport are op, you try piloting those while trying to dodge other helis, rockets, and a wildcat while having incompetent gunners

[mental delta]

They suppose people to play together to destroy them, because it's BF

[copper fulcrum]

Battlefield players when they take out an air vehicle with a tank: cheers
Battlefield players when their character cheers because they took out an air vehicle with a tank: immersion ruined

[hidden sand]

The 50mm is op.

[mental delta]

They are not OP at all, and moreover they are really heavy which makes them slow

[next onyx]

It would be nice if by sector 2 the defending team got a wildcat AA.

[uncut bay]

they're broken as fuck. Too fast, too armored, and too many weapons

but i've repeated my arguments ad nauseam, won't do it again

[tacit sorrel]

50mm hits hard asf

[hard plume]

If you have a good gunner and pilot sure, but that goes for a lot of things.

[hidden sand]

The 50mm doesn't require any precise aiming though. You can shoot in their general direction and still manage to take them out.

[mental delta]

[hidden sand]

Not to mention, it absolutely shreds vehicles, which it absolutely should not be able to do. It's a transport.

[hard plume]

If you have a good pilot sure

[hidden sand]

I've done it myself many times lol.

[tacit sorrel]

It’s annoying getting obliterated by them but I just switch to angel and spam AA lol

[pearl zenith]

If your pilot is bad, 50 mm won't matter

[uncut bay]

it needs a single brain cell to use lol don't even try

[uncut bay]

it kinda does, you can cause plenty of suffering in the short time a condor is up with the 50mm

[mental delta]

I played 50mm a consequent amount of time and if you don't aim correctly the only thing you're gonna do is some damages but you're not getting any kills, needs at least 3 well-aimed shots to get the kill

[copper fulcrum]

50mm doesn't have too much splash damage but that doesn't mean it can't still wipe out infantry like the unmatched power of the sun.

However it does matter against vehicles

[uncut bay]

i also played with the 50mm for a significant amount of time, it does not need any level of precise aiming, two or three splash hits is a guaranteed kill, you don't even need to see the enemy

and yeah that's not even mentioning vehicles

[polar vapor]

That’s how explosions work

[copper fulcrum]

3 shots is a bit much considering the ammo capacity of it and depending on how many players are near you

[mental delta]

You're saying I don't have a single brain cell lol, you're not cool dude

[uncut bay]

don't care how you interpret it, it's a no skill gun and not hard at all to use

[copper fulcrum]

Condor go boom in four shots

[mental delta]

Never said it was hard, that just doesn't is as OP as you guys think it is, firing everywhere doesn't necessarily get you some kills

[uncut bay]

if you manage to land 4 before it flies to the edge of the map and repairs, sure

[polar vapor]

Love go booms

[tacit sorrel]

rockets for days

[uncut bay]

well yeah, you need basic understanding of how to point and shoot at a target. I still disagree that it isn't that strong

[mental delta]

Lol even nightbird is more OP

I never had problems getting killed with 50mm or by any other vehicles weapons on the game

[copper fulcrum]

Let's put explosive ammo on the Miniguns

[mental delta]

If people play BF just to complain about vehicles being too powerful well just play TDM or leave the game for another shooter

[copper fulcrum]

Vehicles are kinda made to be 'overpowered' for war, just saying

[hidden sand]

God damn that thing is nasty lol

[tacit sorrel]

Atleast it’s not bf3/4 chopper op

[copper fulcrum]

If just three people chose Irish there, you'd be fucked

[uncut bay]

not even gonna entertain this argument lmao

[uncut bay]

i play battlefield because i enjoy it. What i don't enjoy is dice being incapable of balancing vehicles in any battlefield game

[hidden sand]

I play BF for the fact it has vehicles. But the 50mm is ridiculous.

Tanks are paper mache in this game, and the 50mm is only adding to that problem.

[tacit sorrel]

Just be thankful they’re not going 100-0 in them lol

[mental delta]

Well that means you are bothered by vehicles for a while now

[uncut bay]

correct

[mental delta]

And vehicles aren't that unbalanced it just seems like some of you guys can't handle being killed by everything else than an infantry guy

[next onyx]

Bf5 had pretty alright balancing.

Planes were obnoxious but they weren't invincible.

[fossil ice]

#BRINGBACKEXPOSEURE24/7

[next onyx]

I get bothered by the rocket sniping.

[uncut bay]

bfv was probably the best so far, only issue was planes but even they were bearable

[next onyx]

Yeah.

[uncut bay]

bfv goated in most departments anyway

[next onyx]

At least a dedicated crew of AA could keep them away.

[mental delta]

Never had any problems with the 50mm and it's for sure not the most annoying thing about vehicles in the game

[next onyx]

Helicopters just suck because they can hover for easy kills.

[copper fulcrum]

RECOILLESS GO FWOOOSH

[tacit sorrel]

Bfv tanks were pretty bad before they were buffed but ended up pretty balanced in the end

[hidden sand]

I miss my BF4 littlebird miniguns.

[next onyx]

M5 doesn't destroy the transport so easily.

[mental delta]

That's almost their purpose, I don't expect them to be less powerful than an infantry soldier

[copper fulcrum]

I did snipe someone out of a chopper with a Crossbow earlier and then the passenger failed to notice

[next onyx]

Hardline had better balanced choppers.

[stone cradle]

I never had a problem with planes unless I was playing on a pacific map.

[next onyx]

AT HELI, Run miniguns and because of the spread you had to go close.

And the spread isn't nearly as obnoxious.

Small arms fire can get it to piss off with ease.

Transport helis were interesting.

Bf4 transport helis except you could choose what gun you would use.

[hot warren]

hello

[next onyx]

Hello!

[mental delta]

That's why the game needs a light 5 seated transport heli

[next onyx]

That's what these transport helis do though.

[still vault]

Battlefield Vietnam had the best helicopters. Change my mind.
Just give me those exactly in 2042 plz 🙂

[hot warren]

guys can someone help with battelefield 42

[copper fulcrum]

All vehicles should have radios in this game, dammit

[mental delta]

You really think Condors and Hinds are light ? And btw they aren't 5 seated

[copper fulcrum]

I wanna hear orchestral music while driving my tank

[next onyx]

Gunner, Minigun x2 and two passenger seats.

By the way I didn't even notice the light part.

I'm sorta apathetic right now lol.

[copper fulcrum]

Would you kindly remove the first a in apathetic?

[next onyx]

Don't.

[copper fulcrum]

[mental delta]

By light I mean the opposite of heavy lol, I don't really see Hinds and Condors as light transport vehicles

[next onyx]

Yeah I get what you mean.

I always used my little bird as a transport heli by picking up random teammates on siege and dropping them off on the tower.

[hot warren]

when i zoom with weapon there is a noise like shadow how i remove it????

[next onyx]

Not sure.

[hot warren]

can you help me please

[mental delta]

That's what I would make riots for, light transport helicopters please

[mental delta]

Me too, but since they moved nightbird to an attack chopper instead of a recon one, the Huey would be a real candidate for light transport helicopter

[hot warren]

which option i can turn it off to to avoid this thing

[next onyx]

People just abused rocket pods on the Hueys.

Far as I remember.

[mental delta]

I am talking about BF4 Hueys lol

[hot warren]

hey

[mental delta]

The Venum I believe

[next onyx]

UH 1Y Venom.

[hot warren]

[next onyx]

You mean those sort of helis.

Qroy I cannot help you.

[mental delta]

Yes the perfect light transport helicopter

[next onyx]

I'm sorry but I really can't.

[mental delta]

I can't help you neither sorry, try to contact EA support

[next onyx]

More speed and the option to change the weapons as you see as it fits.

I wouldn't mind that.

[mental delta]

For UH-1Y ?

[next onyx]

Come to think of it. BFH TRHeli's were far from light.

[mental delta]

Yes

Yes an easy one to pilot

Miniguns which can changed for M60

That would be cool

[next onyx]

They just need to add in world spawns for the black hawk on Bad co 2 maps and remove all air vehicle spawns for either side.

[low timber]

Lol, on the SVK with the Skeletonized skin the 5x scope is the 10x scope but with just 5x zoom.

[unreal spire]

Hi... Are they going to launch more maps? Anything about it? This last map is very interesting and I have fun playing it... so... good step forward...

[frozen adder]

all we know is there is 2 maps of the old ones are getting a remake

[unreal spire]

Ok... Hopefully more cover and more detailed than the desert they are now

[mental delta]

That's exactly what they want to do with remakes

Kaleidoscope is getting new covers and some points will just get deleted

[unreal spire]

Man... That was really awesome... And there is another map that its just a slaughterhouse starting the map... cant remember wich...

[tropic marsh]

I think the BSV-M is just too effective at everything. I mean it can switch from a long range marksman rifle to a close quarters - mid range fully automatic SMG in a matter of seconds. It's just a little too strong in my opinion. If they removed the fully automatic feature, it would be a much more balanced gun, since even when it's in semi-auto, it's still a reliable gun at close range. It would, of course, not beat the more high-rpm guns up close, which shouldn't be the case since it is supposed to be a Markmen rifle. Ofc this is just my opinion.

[mental delta]

Almost all maps from launch are bad

[true peak]

The only base maps I enjoy are manifest and orbital

The new map is easily the best in the game by far

[unreal spire]

I like Renewal, to me is the best maps of the old maps:

1 - Renewal
2 - Discard
3 - Hourglass
4 - Kaleidoscope

Rest I really dont care much

[topaz flame]

how do you do fellow dead game enjoyers

[unreal spire]

totally 😄

[true peak]

Renewal can be fun sometimes for me

Sometimes I can get a great game on renewal and other times I find myself just getting spawn trapped by helicopters or tanks

I have had some fun rounds on renewal though

[zealous heath]

What renewal?

[true peak]

Yeah

[hallow sierra]

what dice was thinking when they made helis

the new ones

[fiery shoal]

infantry/conquest:

manifest > discarded > exposure > orbital > hourglass > Renewal > kaleidoscope > breakaway

[true peak]

I would say hourglass is the worst map in the game

[hallow sierra]

it is

too open

[fiery shoal]

as infantry only, hourglass at least has places i can have fun in... specifically the rooftops and the stadium

stadium is extremely fun too

[true peak]

The buildings on hour glass are fun

[livid tapir]

Nope

[true peak]

But there’s so much land

[fiery shoal]

breakaway has oil rigs and hangars.. which are fun but everything else about that map sucks

[true peak]

Just sand everywhere lol

[fiery shoal]

breakaway is ice/snow everywhere...

id argue at least half of breakaway is hardly even used too

especially that zipline heli pad point

[true peak]

I don’t mind breakaway

[fiery shoal]

im super biased to rooftop fights

[hallow sierra]

is anyone else annoyed by the stealth heli

[true peak]

Not really

I can’t even tell the difference between the helicopters 😅

But that’s because I don’t play with vehicles

[nimble hornet]

It has a nerf coming I bet.

[hallow sierra]

same

[dull carbon]

Guys

I cant play

Im getting 3 separate errors

[hallow sierra]

i tho the as val would be annoying in this update but the helis are like the worst to play against

[dull carbon]

Persistence data and connection timeout and some other thing i cant remember

Not at the same time

Every try its random

[livid tapir]

Gib me 1k dollars

[nimble hornet]

Hack them and see if any of the teammates will shoot at it.

[dull carbon]

Ok whats your credit card number

[true peak]

On breakthrough on the second phase where they just spray at you on the objective next to the window that is so annoying

[nimble hornet]

Hack them lol and shoot them with rockets

[true peak]

I normally use sundances grenade but that never hits anymore I swear

[hallow sierra]

i just fm missiles

[nimble hornet]

Make sure you or a teammate has a good beacon at the top of b2

[copper fulcrum]

Gonna play music on it

[nimble hornet]

Sundance is good for ground vehicles and clearing out congested areas imo 👌

[true peak]

I think sundances vehicle grenades need a damage buff I feel like they do no damage

[mental delta]

I would just reverse your list lol, and I like Manifest or Orbital too

[nimble hornet]

Same and sun needs a nerf imo you should only be able to throw the 2 nades and thats it with out the recharge.@true peak

[hallow sierra]

i like discard just camp at a2 dats the meta for dat map

[unreal spire]

Hourglass is crap between B and C... no cover dead in the water

[true peak]

I’m glad she did get a nerf because the range on the grenades were ridiculous

[livid tapir]

Just 1k

[hexed mango]

y’all arguing about maps, just play exposure 😎

[nimble hornet]

@true peak still needs one more nerf on the amount of nades that can be thrown.

[hallow sierra]

does anyone have any tips for grinding mackay t1

[livid tapir]

Exoosure

[carmine dawn]

anyone have any good setups for the lcmg?

[zinc tulip]

Is BattleField-2042 worth buying?

[zealous patio]

any info on closest hotfix or minor patch date ?

[hallow sierra]

tbh idk

[charred oasis]

While bf is on sale is it worth buying?

[next onyx]

Exodus conquest based playlist.

I'd say yes.

Get this game on sale.

[charred oasis]

I mean as long as there is alot of people playing on PC still I will

[livid tapir]

Do as my gf tells you, get it on sale

[hallow sierra]

i get this game during the Christmas sale

[livid tapir]

[charred oasis]

Yeah it's 30 bucks right now

[zealous patio]

Its like a invesment cuz' i believe the game will be really good in 6 months :D

[obsidian elk]

Got Angel as my first tier one, let's go baybeeeeeeeee

[zinc tulip]

I heard somewhere that it has alot of bugs

[charred oasis]

Yeah that's true feels like a Ubisoft game honestly 😆

[livid tapir]

Angel does it again

[obsidian elk]

What do you guys think is the best T1 skin in your opinion?

You can pick different ones for specialist, vehicle, and weapon.

[livid tapir]

U mean u read it somewhere, u haven't spoken to a hooman since 2 weeks.

[true peak]

2 is pretty overkill for her normal nade because you can’t escape it

[zealous patio]

There are 2 bugs that just annoys me, sometimes players get invisible which is rare and as a tank sometimes hitting helis doesnt count

[charred oasis]

Yeah what I have read since the recent update they are working there asses off to fix this game

[zealous patio]

But several game mechanics annoys me more

[obsidian elk]

Yo

dude

The hand tattoos on Angel's t1 look so fucking cool

wtf

[zealous patio]

Cant choose squad, cant join a server more than 4 players , jet and helis in same category, tanks dont have active protection

[obsidian elk]

I want to get those IRL

such a pretty design

gj artists

Makes me wonder what the sleeve looks like, if there is one

[obsidian elk]

It's essentially fixed now

from now on is content

Fixes were main priority

[zealous patio]

Also we dont have ground weapons to use against vehicles like in bf4

[nimble hornet]

Having it on recharge is overkill lol, Sundance having 2 nades is not that bad. If you took away the 1 nade and just left one then Sundance would be useless.

[lucid harbor]

There's armor piercing rounds aren't there?

[supple blaze]

If the new maps anything to go off for future content I'm stoked 🙌 looking forward to playing the revamped maps too

[zealous patio]

Yes there are, but not effective if you played noshashr canals conquest there is a cannon on base which rips helis

[quiet shell]

While DICE probably won't rework the tank armor to work like it did in Battlefield V, I can totally see them adding it in as a field update for the tank that you can unlock

[lucid harbor]

Oh yeah true

[charred oasis]

That's good I just snagged It @obsidian elk

[zealous patio]

Aso there is a visual bug for that cannon xd

[charred oasis]

Figured might as well while it's on sale

[hidden sand]

Armour angling should be default, a field upgrade would be really weird honestly.

[obsidian elk]

I got it a couple weeks ago, just a few days before it went on sale, and I don't even regret it, if that tells you how much I'm enjoying my time in it.

[serene pawn]

Anybody else having problems with not getting the EA Play rewards for the past two months? There was a weapon charm and a headgear for Rao and I never got those.

[obsidian elk]

For real, Exposure is insanely fun

and well designed

[charred oasis]

That is very good to hear cuz I love battlefield just have been so hesitant on it @obsidian elk

[obsidian elk]

In my opinion, now is definitely time to go for it

It wasn't worth it last year

Those of us who waited are rewarded with a much better experience

as well as those who have chosen to stick with it

[ornate pecan]

Soo, uh... Turns out people can get Sundance up on top of the ductwork inside the tunnels on Exposure. Had someone hiding up there with an NTW-50, defending the objective on breakthrough...

I generally enjoy 2042. It has its flaws, definitely still has some bugs and balancing issues to work out, but I enjoy it.

[uncut bay]

like in the ceiling?

[ornate pecan]

Nah, there’s like a four-foot gap between the top of the duct and the ceiling...

[charred oasis]

Good makes me feel even better about my purchase @obsidian elk

[uncut bay]

ah

[true peak]

Yeah what I’m saying is is just take one away so then you start with one grenade and then just make that singular grenade recharge

[ornate pecan]

But...no one would ever think to look up there. Strictly a Sundance thing, as far as I can tell.

[obsidian elk]

It's weird because I tried to grapple up there as Mackay after seeing a Sundance land up there, but the game didn't trigger a clamber animation to get up, which leads me to believe that getting up there is not intentional.

I reached the edge of the blue pipe but Mackay didn't climb up on top

I don't think Sundance is supposed to be able to get there

[ornate pecan]

Yeah, I’d have to agree that it’s not intentional... The cover up there is too good. Way too easy to hide up there.

[obsidian elk]

Extremely exposed from the opposite side though.

Basically no cover from behind.

But a position that requires a flank every single time, is definitely overpowered.

[ornate pecan]

Looking at the rest of the game, DICE doesn’t intentionally make spots with such good cover. XD

[obsidian elk]

What do you guys think of my suggestions here? 👀

https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Suggestion-Ammo-Medical-versions-of-Ranger-also-Casper-s-drone/m-p/11579588#M114020

[ornate pecan]

I just barely managed to kill the Sundance that was up there. Had to shoot an exposed knee. lol

[sweet barn]

you can't unequip a attachment from a slot?

[true peak]

?

[uncut bay]

no

[obsidian elk]

No and it's an annoying UX issue that they need to resolve sooner rather than later

[sweet barn]

i seriously wanna know what the fuck the development for this game has been like since so little has been done

[ornate pecan]

What you can do, if you haven’t filled all your slots, is use the swap function to bring a slot that is empty back to your default position, if, for instance, you don’t like the negative effects of a grip you attached.

[uncut bay]

a lot has been done. It seems little because you focus only on what you want

[ornate pecan]

Default being closest to center.

[coarse whale]

uh guys any idea on whats the best gamemode to start or mm ?

cus idk which one has fastest match making

cus it seems exposure 24/7 keep having 1/64

[uncut bay]

exposure bt or exodus conquest should both have highest player count

[coarse whale]

oke

ill try my luckj

[true peak]

I thought they removed exodus from aow?

[uncut bay]

it's back now

[ornate pecan]

Interesting... As a little side note, I think the AA drone might need selective targeting... Otherwise Casper’s drones won’t last long at all, since they can be targeted with Stingers. As a side note, I wish Casper’s drone was larger/had a bigger hit box. I want to be able to shoot it with small arms.

[true peak]

Ah ok I was confused as to why they took that out tbh

[uncut bay]

i guess they prefer to have only a small number of playlists active so as to not split the playerbase too much

[true peak]

Maybe

Maybe they could just add the exodus maps to the standard playlists?

So then there’s not as many playlists

[hexed mango]

no

[next onyx]

When exodus conquest was the primary game mode right out of the gates that was the best.

[coarse whale]

maybe they should improve match making

[true peak]

Agreed

[ornate pecan]

Alas, I could only find a match on Exposure Breakthrough on Xbox One. Exodus Conquest keeps just leaving you sitting in queue for so long that the server itself gives up and shuts down (which is beyond frustrating; I think that happens after around 5 minutes). Sometimes even Exposure Breakthrough needs to wait in a queue, particularly if you fiddle with your gear between matches. Basically, it seems like there are only enough players to sustain one match, and if you wait too long to start another, that one’s full and it sends you to queue—well, no, how could it fill up? There are always bots...

[coarse whale]

cus i keep getting <8 players every time and ppl keep leaving

[next onyx]

They do plan on adding exodus to the primary game modes but for now they're doing these 24/7 playlists since people enjoy them.

[true peak]

Exactly just make a map rotation lol

[next onyx]

Yeah persistent lobbies and a server browser would fix a major issue with this game.

[true peak]

Agreed

[ornate pecan]

I mentioned it last night, the queues need to lock people in for a little bit. So many people see a queue and just leave within 30 seconds to a minute. You get plenty of people, but rarely enough at the same time to actually launch a match.

[hidden sand]

I don't think a server browser will happen but I can see persistent servers.

[next onyx]

Locking people in nah.

[coarse whale]

not lock people in

more like

find people and bring them together

or the game is so dead theres little ppl playing :v

[next onyx]

This could all be fixed with a proper server browser.

[low timber]

Next week most likely 24/7 Rush in Exposure.

[next onyx]

Is there a rush layout for it?

[low timber]

Must be

[next onyx]

I'll ponder round portal.

[low timber]

All 2042 maps have Rush layouts

[next onyx]

True but sometimes they just don't.

It took a while until we got wake Island rush for example.

[ornate pecan]

I know locking people in isn’t ideal... I’m only talking about forcing them to stay for maybe 1 minute, maybe a minute and 30 seconds. I don’t know. Finding an optimal time is tricky, when you’re balancing a slowly-populating server against player frustration.

[low timber]

And if the ”leaked” week 3 missions are correct then it is 100% Rush week.

[next onyx]

Lesh go.

Exodus rush.

Full on.

[low timber]

I’ll dm you the pic

[obsidian elk]

If you could reliably hit Casper's drone then everyone would start shooting it for a free Intel ribbon.

[waxen geode]

they're gonna run out of gamemodes to drip feed people every week with that one map if a season's gonna last 3 months..

[next onyx]

Gimme gimme gimme.

[violet meteor]

Hey gurl

Heyyyyy

[true peak]

I doubt a server browser would do much rn because there’s not too many people playing so there wouldn’t be too many servers so it makes sense why they haven’t added one yet

[violet meteor]

It's me

[obsidian elk]

You would actually kill Casper if his drone was easy to hit.

[hidden sand]

Rush would be great to have. Excited for that.

[next onyx]

Boo!

[violet meteor]

Perrinoid, back at it again to pull you from the void

Brush your teeth

[hexed mango]

hi perri

[next onyx]

Best to hold our reservations for now.

[violet meteor]

Chew some gum, cuz pretty soon, we gonna drink rum

[hexed mango]

thats illegal

[violet meteor]

Aww yeah it's ya boi purr noyyyyyyyd

They haven't created a no rap rule yet

Fire, bussing, no cap, airhorn

[little epoch]

daily morbius checkup

[violet meteor]

Don't talk to my son

[next onyx]

You ok perri?

[little epoch]

i want to talk to your son

[violet meteor]

No but thanks for asking

[fast pulsar]

In noshahr canals, is the anti air gun on the aircraft carrier actually destructible?

[hexed mango]

i want to die

[next onyx]

No.

[low timber]

Shame that in the weekly missions tab on the bottom it says 8/8 when there are 9 missions, would be better if it said 9/8 if you did the timed mission.

[little epoch]

ok hope you feel better, i’ll check up on you tomorrow bbg

[violet meteor]

Restraining order issue

[ornate pecan]

Rush missions? That’s gonna suck. Arm/disarm objectives, destroy objectives... Unless the same missions also have defensive options or rounds played options (similar to how we had capture objectives/play rounds as a single mission this week), that’s...ugh. I can do that stuff in co-op, but in multiplayer it takes an inordinate amount of time to be the one person on your team that gets all the arms and disarms. I hated Rush-based weekly missions. I love Rush, but missions were a colossal pain.

[obsidian elk]

But you're already-

[violet meteor]

Better calm down fred

[obsidian elk]

It might be team-oriented. Like "team armed objective" etc.

That would be the right way to do it, at least.

[little epoch]

but i was just checking up on him

😔

[next onyx]

To be honest. Think they might replace bt 64 with rush?

[violet meteor]

I guess I'm just upset about how dolphins get caught in tuna nets

[next onyx]

Aww.

[low timber]

The US AA in Caspian Border can be locked on, and after a hit it flips over in 0 gravity.

[violet meteor]

And then we come here and complain about how morbius is a bad film

[next onyx]

Wtf.

[violet meteor]

And that maybe we shouldn't cast singers who are also cult leaders to play marvel characters

Just a thought though

[mental delta]

What ?

[ornate pecan]

Not allowed, sorry.

[violet meteor]

What?

[low timber]

Want to see a clip of it Way?

[violet meteor]

You haven't asked permission to die yet. You need to fill out some forms in triplicate and apply for a death visa.

[mental delta]

Clip of what ?

[next onyx]

The marse comment.

[violet meteor]

Takes about 90 days to process and a 20 dollar processing fee

[next onyx]

Yeah send it.
@low timber

[ornate pecan]

I haven’t seen anything about next week’s missions, other than what was just alluded to here about the missions being “leaked” and being related to Rush, but in general, a week of Rush-focused missions would suck, unless they do them the right way.

[next onyx]

Nvm.

[little epoch]

why you gotta be taxing people on death now, imma head over to pluto if y’all doing this on earth now

[violet meteor]

I've been eating nothing but jambalaya for 3 days straight now....surprisingly not disappointed

[calm bison]

[violet meteor]

Perhaps I've gone mad

[calm bison]

[little epoch]

pew

[mental delta]

[violet meteor]

Prolly doesn't help I keep adding this hot sauce I got from Africa

[little epoch]
