battlefield-2042

[last swift]

i don´t think so, just have look at the Hazard Zone situation

[visual bronze]

Br?

[vocal adder]

Pretty sure 2042 was meant to be the battle royal but got changed don't know if this is true or not

[honest comet]

umm nope lol

bf had once br in bfV and it failed badly so yeah they didnt even made it in this game

[uncut bay]

it's pretty obvious

[split arrow]

Yeah, I guess.

[uncut bay]

but we'll never get confirmation

[honest comet]

after that fail on bf5 i dont really think that was idea

[full heath]

looking for a team

[unborn herald]

it was a cool mode tho

[full burrow]

incursions in bf1 was a flop, firestop was a flop, hazard here is a flop

stop trying to do too much just to say youve done something new

[unborn herald]

firestorm wasn’t that bad

[open tangle]

They took out breakthrough 24/7 my life is shattered 😭

[full burrow]

it was enjoyable but it still flopped

[hidden sand]

The day DICE stop trying the next big battle royale will be the day their games turn out better

[full burrow]

probably because it never any vision it was most likely just a omg everyone is doing brs we need to do one to

rather than someone actualy having come up with a great concept and working around that

[unborn herald]

probably because of the amount of cheaters

[full burrow]

again not the players fault that side of things wasnt managed well

[hidden sand]

Nah it was because they put it behind a 60 usd paywall while their competition was free.

[honest comet]

yea issue with this bf is it was too amibitious

ideas were awesome but simply too huge

bringing older games in with new graphics plus hazard zone plus aow

its just too much

for me honestly would be better if they only focused on aow

game would defo be 2x better and much more content and less bugs

that portal drowned their time and effort

[unborn herald]

bringing older games in with new graphics?

[honest comet]

basicly yeah

[unborn herald]

what are you saying

[honest comet]

maps from portal

are from older games

with guns and vehicles

[unborn herald]

never heard of remastering maps???

[honest comet]

yeah but its not the same

[unborn herald]

wdym not the same

[open tangle]

I just joined the end of a match where we lost rip

[honest comet]

its not only maps

[mental cave]

its tough finding a normal conquest match lol

[arctic grove]

alright

BF7 pls

[honest comet]

literally guns and vehicles, if it was only maps then it would be remastered maps

but they would be in aow

[arctic grove]

server so dead slowmode gone

[honest comet]

hahah

its summer

and ppl do stuff

im at work

[arctic grove]

even worse

[honest comet]

and got nothin to do atm

[arctic grove]

summer when most ppl off

now wanna play diz game

[honest comet]

well they do other studf

go to bech

[arctic grove]

i just moved back to bf1/bf4 as i used to b4 2042

[honest comet]

beach*

vacations in another country etc

[arctic grove]

elden ring>beach tho

[honest comet]

uf i completed elden ring

epic game

[arctic grove]

bro going to beach over rated

like u pay to get sun burned and get ur feet burned by sand then stunned by cold water

am good

[honest comet]

if u live in croatia

its free lol

[arctic grove]

free suffering

xD

[honest comet]

nah i love to go to beach ^_^

[arctic grove]

[honest comet]

u can pick better time then full sub burn lol

i usually go after 6 pm

when sun not so strong

[arctic grove]

i mean theres one good reason only but i dont wanna get banned again

[honest comet]

hahahh we understand each other lol

[arctic grove]

[honest comet]

anyway now im playin ghost of tsushima

[arctic grove]

cant wait for it to come on PC

[honest comet]

its amazing

[arctic grove]

ik

plz PC port

[honest comet]

probs in like year or 2

[arctic grove]

all em PS exclusives come to PC

GoW is fire

[honest comet]

tru

[arctic grove]

RDR2 is fire

[honest comet]

yes

i have both pc and ps5

[arctic grove]

HZD was meh bad port

[honest comet]

so i can play xbox games and ps games

that are exclusive

^_^

[arctic grove]

[honest comet]

for example

i played elden on pc

forza horizon 5 was stunning

[arctic grove]

pc exclusives are mostly weird games

[arctic grove]

yea ER on pc is a different world thanks to mods

[honest comet]

forza horizon 5 was best racing game i ever played

[arctic grove]

i have a mod that makes the game easier

[arctic grove]

i'm pretty sure they fixed it with time, even thoguh it was terrible at release

[honest comet]

i like the challenge

almost smashed controller lol

but i made it

was painfull

[arctic grove]

yep its stable now especially with the DLSS update

draw distance still worse than skyrim tho and the prolly wont fiix that

[honest comet]

but that feeling when u finish elden is amazing

[arctic grove]

mostly before the sequel comes out it seems, GoW came out iirc one or two years before planned sequel releases, Horizon came out, well, two or three years before the sequel, probably to hook up people to buy a PS5 to experience a new sequel which will be exclusive

[honest comet]

jez cant wait for new elder scrolls

[arctic grove]

yea some ppl really enjoy that

[honest comet]

enjoy to suffer

hahah

weird but those hard games makes ppl addicted

[edgy oriole]

Yo what bundle they got for sale this week.

[honest comet]

i finished god of war on god of war difficulty

broda it was pain

[arctic grove]

yep sounds like a logical strategy

i just kinda find hard to justify gettin console for just one game unless it has like mad content

HFW looks juicy af

but not gettin a ps5 just to play that

[honest comet]

its not really one game tho

[arctic grove]

PC with some RT will be real good

[honest comet]

spider man, god of war, ghost of tsushima, gran turismo

are just some

[edgy oriole]

@hexed mango dm or post pics of this week's bundle when you wake up.

[arctic grove]

i mean uncharted confirmed and the TLOU

[honest comet]

dont forget horizon forbiden west

etc

theres lot of awesome games

rdr as well

[arctic grove]

i've did it once too but iirc only in new game plus, i wanted to try just new game god of war difficulty but that felt like it was way too slow and annoying

[honest comet]

i did it from start

jesus

it was hell

[arctic grove]

i'm pretty sure RDR was never a PS exclusive, just a console exclusive for one or two years before PC port

[honest comet]

rdr2 was only on ps

from what i know since u can play all xbox games on pc

therefore it would be able to be played on pc as well

[arctic grove]

googling "when did rdr2 release on xbox" and "when did rdr2 release on ps" gives the same date, 26 october of 2018, the date of game's release

[honest comet]

weird

i was convinced it was ps exclusive

[arctic grove]

and pc released november 5 of 2019

[honest comet]

ah interestinf

u are correct

but still theres other games

which i mentioned

anyway if u own ps and pc u can play all games

[arctic grove]

yeah pretty much

except nintendo exclusives but i doubt anyone wants to play mario stuff so much to buy a 60$ glorified smartphone marketed as a console

[honest comet]

khm emulators

lol

and tbh from nintendo only pokemon games are worth it

and super mario

oh legend of zelda as well

(p.s i was never into zelda games)

[arctic grove]

also, tbh what are even PC exclusives? I only remember something about starfield being an Xbox and PC exclusive, but not really any other games that I remember

[honest comet]

uf thats a good question

myb strategy games

like age of empires

total war

etc

[uncut bay]

there are lots

just not many well known ones

most of the super popular games are also on a console

[honest comet]

yeah

[restive magnet]

EMPs kind of suck ass

[honest comet]

can be usefull vs vehicles

[steady pewter]

holy shit exodus conquest is the BEST

why did this ever leave rotation

[restive magnet]

ight weekly missions done. see y'all next thursday

[haughty cipher]

in my region i cant every time found game

why i cant change my region as other battlefield game

[granite pawn]

When will this game be free?

[honest comet]

never

lol

[granite pawn]

Why not?

[chilly jacinth]

because

[granite pawn]

The game is shit no-one wanna pay for it 60 USD

[chilly jacinth]

many did

[restive magnet]

buy the game like everyone else

it's on sale

[granite pawn]

Yeah and they all are regretting it

[chilly jacinth]

im not

[granite pawn]

Well than you should

[chilly jacinth]

why

[granite pawn]

It's shit

[chilly jacinth]

im enjoying the game

[granite pawn]

Did it get better in the last month?

[restive magnet]

@granite pawn mad cause bad? game is actually enjoyable if you dont have a cactus up your ass when playing it

[granite pawn]

I haven't played it in some time

[chilly jacinth]

its gotten better with every update pretty much

[granite pawn]

Hmm maybe i should give it another try

I fucking hate CSGO

[restive magnet]

you seem to hate everything

[granite pawn]

All the game is filled with Russian's

They all just teamkill me

[granite pawn]

No no flight simulator is the best

[restive magnet]

probs cause you're bad

skill issues

[granite pawn]

And bf4 and bf2

[tranquil turtle]

Which is why I paid $40 USD instead

[tepid agate]

Wow just saw a mastery level Liz lol guys only level S93

[hidden sand]

She's powerful even if people try to convince you shes not

[steady pewter]

vouchhhh, i had 9 vehicle kills in one round as her

shes really damn strong

[hidden sand]

40 dmg is silly.

[tepid agate]

But destoryed over 400 vehicles balrrady that's impressive

[hidden sand]

She should do 20 dmg against ground vehicles with 40 dmg against air.

[steady pewter]

i honestly think her air damage should be higher

its quite a skill to consistently hit air vehicles with it

[modest ivy]

Can anyone explain to me when these are supposed to update? Like, I understand it as you get 10 of these per BP level, but I've certainly gained more than 3 BP points today...

[hexed mango]

it’s broke

[modest ivy]

aight, I'm not the only one then

[hexed mango]

i’m tier 73 and mine is only at like 600 when it should be at 730+

[modest ivy]

I'm tier 61, so should be 600+

[trail wasp]

Anyone tried purchasing the Graveyard Shift bundle? It keeps freezing on mine.

[tranquil turtle]

Tier 32 💪

[hexed mango]

i got it last week no issues

bruh tf is this tank skin

its not even the M1

[tranquil turtle]

All the tank skins are wacky af

[hexed mango]

in the "American" bundle they gave us a shitty tank skin for the russian tank

[modest thorn]

i need this thing back to bf2042, Fliegerfaust

[hexed mango]

and its not an air vehicle

[tranquil turtle]

Get the dozer skin bundle

With that dope ak skin and the skull knife

[hexed mango]

complaint has been sent

[arctic grove]

Cool a grey tank

[hexed mango]

the bundle is literally called
"Air Americana"

its a skin for the Russian Tank.

[arctic grove]

Dice should make more grey skins now

[restive magnet]

Tier 66 and only 561 pts showing

[arctic grove]

Seems right for DICE logic

[hexed mango]

lmao

idk Sam said he would forward it....

im still gonna cop

[arctic grove]

They always do this. They do the exact opposite

[hexed mango]

that F-35 and apache skin are 10/10

[tranquil turtle]

What's the apache skin

[arctic grove]

They removed the grin reaper because of russian invasion but kept the faction lmao

[arctic grove]

Much better skin

[tranquil turtle]

Zamn

[hexed mango]

lowkey this M5 skin is amazing

[modest ivy]

Air Americana
I thought the characters where non patriated

[hexed mango]

i might use it over the legendary edition one

[arctic grove]

Imagine if this skin was used for the russian jet

[hexed mango]

4th of july moment

we need a canada one tho

[hidden sand]

The heli skin looks awful with it's textures, but the actual mesh changes are really good

[hexed mango]

lel

[arctic grove]

DICE logic my guy. It makes no sense

[hidden sand]

Wish we could get it without the US stuff on it

Just all black

[hexed mango]

idk i think it looks nice

[arctic grove]

Im down for a Jet black skin... [Pun Intended]

[tacit sphinx]

that looks like it’s a universal tank skin (for all 2 of them lol)

[tranquil turtle]

Nah

I'm not feeling it

[tacit sphinx]

just shown on the t28 i guess

[tranquil turtle]

Would rather use the t1 skin

[hexed mango]

its not

[hidden sand]

(for all 2 of them lol)
pain

[arctic grove]

a lot of people say otherwise because of the vehicles balance, aim on PC issue, crossplay from PC to consoles, specialists, small amount of content, 128 players etc.

it may be fun for someone, but let's be honest, even previous battlefields (or at least BFV) have more people playing them

[hexed mango]

wait it might be its just not showing up

[hidden sand]

Hopefully more tanks are added with season 2.

[hexed mango]

ok yeah it is

idk why it doesntt default to the M1 tho

[arctic grove]

"Americana"

Only for Russian faction
🤡

[tranquil turtle]

Tank destroyer and attack jet

Both have to be added

[hidden sand]

Tank Destroyer bet

[tacit sphinx]

usually that style of card is for universal ish items and if it’s unique to a specific thing it’ll be an image of the item

[tacit sphinx]

we just established that it’s for both but sure

[hexed mango]

now debate, do i use dino or jet

[hidden sand]

I really want the KF51 Panther tank

It fits perfectly within 2042s vehicle aesthetic

[tranquil turtle]

Imagine if they introduced a European faction like in 2142

Then we could have a leopard 2

[tepid agate]

I don't even notice they are on my gun 😄

[hexed mango]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

THEY removed BT eXpoSURE

[hidden sand]

https://www.newsnpr.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/German-corporation-launches-super-tank-Black-Panther.jpg

[hexed mango]

i want to die.

[arctic grove]

Wait fr?

[tranquil turtle]

Bruhhh

Exposure bt is the only game mode I played

[arctic grove]

they aren't learning their mistakes lol

at all

[arctic grove]

The skins DICE really should work on

[tranquil turtle]

It's the only one that has actual cooperation in it

Conquest is just spawning on one objective then dying trying to get to another

[arctic grove]

They are following the live service model. Halo Infinite does the same thing with "limited time" modes

[hidden sand]

The KF41 Lynx and the KF51 Panther are the two vehicles I want most now tbh.

Would be great to have both a new MBT and IFV.

[calm bison]

But not to a Hind

[hidden sand]

They really need to seperate IFVs from MBTs though.

[arctic grove]

even an LAV be appreciated

[hexed mango]

ill take death by anything

[arctic grove]

that's dumb tho, what's the point of doing it with the stuff that community really liked

[arctic grove]

Exactly my guy.

[hidden sand]

https://www.edrmagazine.eu/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Lynx-KF41_01.jpg

Both vehicles completely match 2042s aesthetic, pls DICE

[tranquil turtle]

That one looks dumb

[hexed mango]

If they were really smart, they would split these up into 2 sections of just conquest and beakthrough

Then when you clicked on Conquest, you could have the option of choosing Exposure 24/7 or Exodus
and the same thing for Breakthrough

[hidden sand]

Wow that is extremely rude of you to say

[tranquil turtle]

Silly af

[hexed mango]

i agree, looks like if a cybertruck was a tank

[arctic grove]

But morbius, it would split the player base even more!

[tranquil turtle]

It would be an interesting addition though

[hexed mango]

no, its literally the same.

[tranquil turtle]

Extra clicking bruh

[calm bison]

C Y B E R T A N K

[arctic grove]

Exactly but im just stating what dice is thinking

[hexed mango]

im just saying instead of having 4 separate tiles, but the 2 extra conquest ones inside of Conquest itself so there's more space for BT 24/7 Exposure

[arctic grove]

What I want the most is proper US marine and Russian naval infantry skins

[hexed mango]

lol

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 2077

[calm bison]

Wake the fuck up samurai

We have a developer to burn

[arctic grove]

you know those games turned out to be really similar actually

[hexed mango]

what if they just split this in half, one side was CQ and one side was BT

like top half, bottom half

[calm bison]

Kinda like the pacific playlist in BFV

[hexed mango]

sure idk what that looks like tho

[calm bison]

Breakthrough and conquest in the same rotation

[arctic grove]

We've been saying that since the start of s1.

[arctic grove]

it's just a "pacific war" text at the right side of the screen that you need to click on and then you can play on the pacific maps conquest & breakthrough playlist

Easiest way to please everyone

[hexed mango]

but i kinda just want to play BT

i dont care much for CQ at this point :)

[hidden sand]

Huh there's not many modern tank destroyers I've noticed. DICE should just make some up, like the Jagdbrams lol

[hexed mango]

but now i have to actually play regular BT

[calm bison]

Honestly I prefer conquest to breakthrough

[hexed mango]

Really?>!?

[calm bison]

Even 2042’s shitty version of it

[hexed mango]

5 kills AND assists.
with the most broken gun in the game.

Thanks.

these challenges will totally sustain my playtime

[last swift]

don´t want to play the BSV-M, should be 0

[hexed mango]

dude these are all so easy.

[tranquil turtle]

The challenges are so easy

[hexed mango]

the annoying thing is 100% of people are gonna be using it, which is compared to the already 90% using it before

[calm bison]

The BSV is based tho

[arctic grove]

did they nerf it or just thought that it's ok to keep it as it is

[calm bison]

AS VAL gang

[hexed mango]

and im tryna T1 crossbow

[hexed mango]

alex said its not an asval

[tranquil turtle]

Vss vintorez

[hexed mango]

• grau

[hidden sand]

Honestly shocked DICE hasn't added this to any of their games lol

[tacit sphinx]

they got the t5 skin for it

[tranquil turtle]

I'm going to get stuck on the "5 kills in one life"

Simply because I'm going to get c5'd over shipping containers

[wise zodiac]

Oof, global security is a shady site.

[modest ivy]

I managed to get it immediately as soon as I unlocked the challenge ¯_(ツ)_/¯

first try

😛

[hidden sand]

Wasn't aware, just pulled it off google images

My bad

[wise zodiac]

Nah you're good!

It's one of those websites I avoid

[hidden sand]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpAgha6FBO0

Cannot get over how they show off tanks on Youtube like they're video game trailers though lol

"Pre-Order now, only 15,000,000 KR, early birds receive exclusive cosmetic options"

[scenic tartan]

I like battlefield

[bold steppe]

imagine cod mw2 launch is worse than bf2042

[mossy badge]

i like call of duty and battlefield both

[mossy badge]

still it will not take 7 months to fix it

[worldly jasper]

Yoooo

[bold steppe]

its not fixed even after 7 months

[mossy badge]

[bold steppe]

more people will buy mw2 for the campaign alone, let alone multiplayer as compared to bf2042

[arctic grove]

it's weird that there's no singleplayer for bf2042

and i mean it as a proper story mode and not just multiplayer but with bots

[uncut bay]

probably because last weeks's challenges were far more time consuming

[hexed mango]

they werent

[uncut bay]

i mean capture 10 objs vs 2

it's a bit of a difference lol

[hexed mango]

i mean almost all other BF campaigns have been disliked when they released.
tbh im not surprised they did multiplayer only.

[hexed mango]

yeah but last weeks challenges weren't even to sweat over

[mossy badge]

sad that some company thinks nobody plays single player and then biggest success of 2022 is elden ring a single player game you can add monster hunter rise also 🥲 and what was the reason soooooo they can focus on multiplayer only and we got 1 map after 7 months

[uncut bay]

not really, but they were in comparison to this week's

[arctic grove]

eh idk just not trying at all after receiving negative feedback seems meh

[uncut bay]

though the smoke revives and emp missions were annoying

[arctic grove]

that's like as if after 2042 release dice wouldn't ever make new battlefields at all

[worldly jasper]

https://youtu.be/nLywNtbaS0E

[silk surge]

Smoke revives were easy because I always throw smokes when reviving, the 30 EMPs was so annoying.

[hexed mango]

i just want to be able to play breakthrough on exposure

[stoic ferry]

there is a place in hell for ppl with absolute garbage loadouts on tanks/choppers in this game :/

[hexed mango]

why not include rao

[stoic ferry]

rao has something later

sad its only 30. these missions are way way to easy

30 is one match

[vocal wyvern]

what is in the midnight ultimate bundle?

[stoic ferry]

it dont say?

[vocal wyvern]

i see the shadowstalker outfit. but for who? i see the obsidian gun skin and onyx skin but for who?

[pastel lantern]

Was 2042 crashing for anyone else today on startup?

[stoic ferry]

nope

freedome fighter skin looks awesome

[stoic ferry]

if you google midnight ultimate bundle you can see who its for

[vocal wyvern]

tried that

gives me no hints

[stoic ferry]

so you use google from wish?

or google.com ?

[hushed lotus]

Guys I can't find a server is this normal?

[vocal wyvern]

The Battlefield 2042 Ultimate Edition includes the Midnight Ultimate bundle, which grants you the 'Shadow Stalker' Legendary outfit, the 'Obsidian' Legendary weapon skin and the 'Onyx' Legendary vehicle skin

[pastel lantern]

The nvidia driver released 2 days ago was crashing the game for me. went back a couple versions and all G

[bronze steeple]

You are playing coop do multiplayer @hushed lotus

[bronze steeple]

Console or pc?

[hushed lotus]

[bronze steeple]

Enabled crossplay?

[hushed lotus]

I'll check

Where can i enable that?

[bronze steeple]

In option somewhere

[hushed lotus]

it says 2/64 now

[hexed mango]

it’s in the first section of settings

[quiet shell]

It would be nice if you could unbind the tilde key console command line

[hexed mango]

ikr

it’s a frostbite thing tho

[bronze steeple]

Maybe your internet connection is bad

Reset router maybe a option?

Power cable out for 10 sec and wait few minutes and try again

[hushed lotus]

Im able to play other game modes

and my wifi is great

i get 800+ download and upload

and avg 9 ping

[hexed mango]

what mode is giving you 1/64

[hushed lotus]

all battlefield modes

[hexed mango]

what region are you in

[hushed lotus]

i can play portal

NA east

[hexed mango]

are you on last gen or next gen, and do you have cross play on?

[hushed lotus]

whats next gen / last gen and yes I have crossplay on

[hexed mango]

last gen = Xb1 Ps4
next gen = Pc, Ps5, Xbox Series X/S

[hushed lotus]

im on PC

rtx 3070 ti i9900k 32gb ram

[hexed mango]

if you have cross play on in NA you should be good… are all 4 game modes giving you no players?

[hushed lotus]

I normally get 2 or 3 plays

players*

[hexed mango]

and you’ve tried all 4 modes?

Exodus Cq, Exposure Cq, Cq, Bt

[bronze steeple]

I will take a look in a sec but when there where more experiencing issues everyone should complain here

[hushed lotus]

yeah

[hexed mango]

i mean i got into a few BT matches fine a few minutes ago so idk

[bronze steeple]

Reset router?

[hexed mango]

odd… you just enabled cross play right?

like in the same session

[bronze steeple]

There is more then 1 pc player so i think connection thing when restart bf connecting to server takes some time or fast?

[hushed lotus]

yeah

I can play portal fine

[bronze steeple]

Where you live?

[arctic grove]

check your mtu settings ray

[hushed lotus]

where are those

Hold on ima try queuing up 1 more time

[arctic grove]

oh damn youre on pc, nvm since thats usually something thatll play more of a factor on consoles

you could look for a tutorial for pc but that was just my suggestion

[drowsy crow]

I’m having more fun in The division twoThen this glitchy mess

[bronze steeple]

Go play that then and stop bother us

[arctic grove]

ok? division 2 is a great game so i dont see what youre trying to say

[drowsy crow]

Sorry

[arctic grove]

anyways if the game is still a "glitchy mess" for you then thats on your end

[low timber]

Did 5 revives with smoke but only got 1 forwards the challenge

[bronze steeple]

Ow its new week chalange right?

[hushed lotus]

I was able to get into a game!

of break through

[bronze steeple]

Good

[tame cobalt]

Played my first conquest match on el Alamein

Goddamn, this map is even more vehicle based than i thought

[bronze steeple]

We have new map?

[tame cobalt]

Portal map.

[bronze steeple]

Oke but now for conquest too?

[dapper river]

big open desert with nothing for miles was peak map design in 2001

anyone know the challenges for this week? can't launch right now, away from home

[tame cobalt]

The heavy vehicle focus is pretty cool though. Adds some variety to the overall game experience.

Just like metro type maps add variety with the heavy infantry focus

[placid echo]

It's in #game-news

[ripe hedge]

Thanks all for reporting bugs yesterday 💯 some even got fixed today

[placid echo]

People report bugs? I thought we just quietly rant about it in our heads. Still nice though

[dapper river]

I rant about them in discord and NEVER upload a support ticket, then complain when it isn't fixed

[hidden sand]

That's awesome to hear. Thanks for letting us know. 👌
I didn't report anything but it's really cool to hear that they've been so useful.

[vocal adder]

are we ever gonna get first person assassinations back ?

[carmine grail]

hey guys. i wanna improve my gunning skill in aircraft. any good pilot here who would adopt 2 (not so bad but also not so good) gunners? maybe german speaking for dc

[hidden sand]

I'm guessing first person animations isn't happening since they're already selling 3rd person ones.

[arctic grove]

Give us the option to select first person animations

It's so easy

[hidden sand]

I mean they have a lot of first person animations to use already but I'm sure implementing the system for it would take time.

[unborn herald]

it would look ugly tho with the current takedowns

takedowns like bf1 and bf4 sure

[hidden sand]

I'd rather have BF1 and Vs takedowns anyway.

[unborn herald]

well good luck convincing them to get rid of their current takedowns

[hidden sand]

Yeah I don't believe it'll come back so.

[languid bramble]

more people would buy first person animations

sometimes i just dont understand ea

[hidden sand]

First person animations being locked behind a paywall would be ridiculous honestly.

Outfits, weapon skins, vehicle skins, no problem.

But takedowns being monetized would be disappointing.

[hushed lotus]

How do i get the arrows that blow up with the crossbow?

[hidden sand]

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/voap86/after_4_weeks_finally_complete_the_battlepass/

holy shit lol

I'm honestly curious if this was the first person to complete it

[modest ivy]

I've seen others

[arctic grove]

I don't even like the takedowns

I wish they just stuck to simple knife kills without all the fancy shit

[modest ivy]

but like, in the first week or so, so I suspect they might have baught themselves 100 levels

[arctic grove]

I mean bf4's knife kills were cool but they weren't overdone

[hidden sand]

Sheesh. I couldn't imagine paying for that but good for them I guess.

[modest ivy]

yea same lol

[hushed lotus]

How do i get the arrows that blow up with the crossbow?

[unreal spire]

Fix Renewal map. Is a massive crap...

The defenders can be at places where the attackers cant reach (red zones) waaaaayyy on the next checkpoint B3

So... if they can be up in the mountains is just spawn kill fest

[tame cobalt]

Lot it isn't. First person animations require making a new animation for the first person perspective. First person animations use 2 different animations depending on the POV.

[unborn herald]

why does the map need fixing

and are you talking about breakthrough

because that’s entirely different my dude

[drowsy shuttle]

i have 0 hopes, but still, Dice fix the damn mouse input and mouse sensitivity... holy shit.. worst mouse input and mouse sensitivity in a shooter gamer ever... jesus christ...

[arctic grove]

Someone bought the whole battlepass to Tier 100 on the 1st day. Those people exist.

[hidden sand]

I honestly don't notice the mouse input issues and I'm kinda curious as to why lol.

[unborn herald]

I mean some people don’t have whole 2 months to finish bp

[hidden sand]

I either have a really shit mouse or I'm just so bad that I can't notice it.

The latter is most likely.

[lapis perch]

The same way one earns any other attachment/unlock for any other weapon - killing with it. Look at the weapon customization, you can literally see the requirements, bro.

[arctic grove]

Very true. im on tier 71 and i work 40+ hours a week.

[lapis perch]

12 weeks* but not wrong

[unborn herald]

mb

[lapis perch]

The system is pretty fair, IMO.

[drowsy shuttle]

yep... i have a friend that spend 180 euros in 2 gold editions.. he has like 20h of the game.. dont even care about season 1, he only knows season 1 is out cause i told him... but he is not mad about the state of the game or anything.. he just likes to buy every battlefield... so yeah... there are a lot of suckers out there like him, and this is the kind of customers EA salivates and want.

[arctic grove]

EA & DICE wish they had a fanbase like cod players tbh.

[unborn herald]

they thought people wanted something entirely new

[simple reef]

This Tier 1 Vehicle achievement is killing me...

[arctic grove]

Bro the whole community wanted a bf3/4 remastered

it was supposed to be an easy cash grab

[unborn herald]

they thought 2042 was a bf4 remake

[lapis perch]

All gameplay elements are free, you can earn every single tier through gameplay, you can boost to or top off any tiers as you desire for money, and the only money exchange is cosmetic. Pretty reasonable.

[unborn herald]

“It plays like bf4”

[hidden sand]

I have no clue why people want another BF4

[arctic grove]

True and partly the reason was the trailer gave out that impression and i dont blame the marketing team. They did an awesome job fooling everyone

[hidden sand]

Horrible maps, extremely boring vehicle gameplay, and aged movement

[unborn herald]

yea monetization isn’t like before

[lapis perch]

Anyone who thought 2042 was a bf4 "remake" is goofy.

[unborn herald]

cough cough class bundles

[simple reef]

Why do y'all play this game if you don't enjoy it? 😭

[drowsy shuttle]

they made the battle pass reaaaaaally slow... without weekly missions you would have to play that shit like 12h a day... (if you don't pay for the tiers ofc)

[hidden sand]

BFV with a modern skin? Yes pls

[arctic grove]

Its simple..If something isnt broken, dont fix it. Dont reinvent the wheel if it still doing good.

[unborn herald]

not really slow

[hidden sand]

Vehicle gameplay is horrible in BF4 though, BFV seriously improved on it. Why regress to something dated? Level design as well.

[lapis perch]

That's industry standard. That other player in here said he works 40+ hrs and is still already tier 71.

[drowsy shuttle]

it is really slow... the XP need for the next level keeps increasing... you basically advance 1 dot (maybe 2) in a tier in one match...

[simple reef]

I have 123 hours but have barely played since the removal of 128 BT.

[arctic grove]

Ok then they shouldve improved the movement or kept the bfv movement at least.

[unborn herald]

it depends on how well you do in matches

[lapis perch]

You cant have it all, kiddos. Either you put the time in to earn, or you spend some of that skrilla to get what you want that you didnt play. All gameplay stuff is free and earnable. Reasonable.

[arctic grove]

Yeah

i would have to agree with it

as much as i hate it

[drowsy shuttle]

i can get around 20,000 xp in a BT match... i think its pretty standard for an average player.. but depends also in the length of the match

[tacit sphinx]

i’d get complaints about the xp requirements for the battle pass if you couldn’t access past missions

but you can

[drowsy shuttle]

not even the best players got to finish the battle pass (without paying for it ofc)

[lapis perch]

If you're a regular player of the game, you'll earn everything you need.

[hidden sand]

It's just so bizarre to me that they settled with a lesser customization system, when they did it so well with BFV.

[drowsy shuttle]

they made it slow to keep people busy until season 2

[simple reef]

I have no problems with the BP, to be honest. Just haven't been playing the game because my favourite mode isn't in it anymore. :(

[lapis perch]

There's a lot of fun to be had even if your preferred mode isn't there

[modest ivy]

LMAO, I'm going backwards

[lapis perch]

Tracking will be fixed, dwbout it.

[modest ivy]

I know, I know

[hidden sand]

I wonder why that specifically tracks so incorrectly. Weird lol.

[simple reef]

The game either feels way too fast or way too slow for me now. Conquest and Breakthrough are snoozefests now.

[lapis perch]

I don't feel the same.

Some matches are quick, some are long, doesn't actually matter since you can just jump back in and play another one lol.

[arctic grove]

a lot of people here simply don't lol

Also when i said a bf remake of course with updated graphics and movements

[arctic grove]

best tank in bf1 was the french tank

[hidden sand]

Y'all remember taking on Fighter Jets in BF1?

Crazy

[simple reef]

There's so little going on in both now that it just doesn't really feel like I'm doing anything. 128 Player Breakthrough was genuinely so much fun when you had gargantuan pushes happening from both teams with bullets and frags constantly flying over your head.

[arctic grove]

i loved it for the senseless chaos

[lapis perch]

I didnt like 128 BT. Everything felt pointless.

[hidden sand]

I don't see why they should completely remove the option for 128BT when some people prefer that chaos.

[arctic grove]

easy killz and easy points

[hidden sand]

Let there be an option at least, outside of Portal.

[arctic grove]

its easy to remove a game mode than to spend time and resources on it.

[arctic grove]

that's more like the standard of EA to force people to pay, the industry isn't that shitty for it to be it's standard

[unreal spire]

Yep breakthrough... it sooo bad...

[hidden sand]

I don't even have 128 players available to me and I'm bothered they removed it lol.

[arctic grove]

Oh and you cant create 128 bt on portal sooo we r screwed

[lapis perch]

There was no opportunity to make a play or feel like you+friends did anything useful or interesting. It was just a grinder that encouraged mindless spam, so it didnt scratch the particular itches that I like in BF

[simple reef]

Rush Chaos is the only thing that sort of replicates that feeling.

[hidden sand]

Ah yeah that's right, BT isn't in Portal for some reason.

[simple reef]

I don't see how their justification for removing it was that it wasn't tactical enough and too chaotic when you can literally have 64v64 Rush.

[quiet shell]

Wow I got these weekly missions knocked out in no time

record time actually

2 hours and 40 minutes

[hidden sand]

The easier and quicker the missions, the better

[arctic grove]

probably to not furthermore separate the community on different modes

[lapis perch]

Dont kid yourself. The model is basically standard for its peers. 12 weeks to earn [free] gameplay elements and whatever cosmetics, buy to top off cosmetics.

[quiet shell]

They should honestly be daily missions

[drowsy shuttle]

im just doing the weekly missions... only need to complete 1 more (played 2 matches for it) then i will play next thursday... cause maps need rework specially for BT... so its boring...

[hidden sand]

I will never understand why they thought Portal and the 2042 era needed to be seperated.

[hexed mango]

uh yes let’s have WWII tanks in 2042 very smart

[arctic grove]

give me examples of games which would also require 12 weeks of monotonously playing with an option of just paying instead for all that lol

[hidden sand]

I can stand playing this game for about 2 hours per day, so I'm glad the weekly missions go by so quickly lol.

[lapis perch]

They didnt arbitrarily decide it themselves, they looked at player data and forum feedback. The players themselves indicated it wasnt a popular mode, so they removed it to focus development and refinement on the things players played more and other upcoming developments.

[arctic grove]

exactly my point

[arctic grove]

they got rid of HZ too so that shouldve been enough

[simple reef]

I have honestly seen a lot more people upset over the fact that 128 BT is gone on the Subreddit and Steam forums than I ever did complain about the mode's inclusion.

[arctic grove]

the whole game with 128 players isn't tactical enough and is too chaotic i guess lol

[drowsy shuttle]

the best feature/thing in the game is playing with a chopper... unfortunately i really suck at flying and i lack the patience to learn and practice... but farming with a chopper must be really fun... if theres a really good player in a chopper is game over.. cause people don't play as a team to bring it down.. and even if theres lot of stingers and all that.. a good pilot can avoid them kinda easily.. an excelent pilot can stay in the air for a whole match. Choppers are not OP.. but in the hands of a great player... its game over.

[hidden sand]

I mean, we don't actually know why they removed it though. They've never actually given a reason.

[simple reef]

64-player Breakthrough has always been a thing, anyway? So that doesn't really make much sense to me.

[lapis perch]

They didnt get rid of HZ, its still right there (and actually received some really nice QOL updates recently)

[simple reef]

Hazard Zone is the shit. I have the 25 Extractions achievement.

Don't see much reason to keep playing it now, though.

[honest comet]

shit its so hot

[arctic grove]

if one player out of 128 (or, well, let's assume 3-4 players out of 128) is enough to influence the whole game for one of the teams to win with no doubt, that pretty much can be described as overpowered

[honest comet]

in croatia

[hidden sand]

I'm betting 128BT was removed because they can't solve the performance issues quicker, and the focus on 64 player level design for BT is becoming more prominent.

[drowsy shuttle]

in a way... i agree

[hidden sand]

128 players was a huge mistake for this game, sheesh.

[simple reef]

Or because at the time of its removal the game's playerbase was pretty much non-existent as it is and they didn't wanna have an extra mode fracturing the already barren playlists.

[hidden sand]

That could be it too. We don't know for sure.

[lapis perch]

Lol what are you talking about? They literally wrote why in the devblog and that build's patchnotes (0.4.1)

[arctic grove]

which is why some like me loved it

[drowsy shuttle]

but at the same time... its punishing skilled players.. cause like when a weapon is broken and do a lot of damage etc... even a scrub player can abuse it... but a scrub player can't abuse using a chopper... i dunno if you know what i mean...

[arctic grove]

Oh and 128 game modes was a selling point for 2042

[arctic grove]

the conclusion would then be to not release overpowered weapons and keep them in game for months unlike what dice do though, not to justify choppers being good

i want 128 Infantry conquest as an option

[hidden sand]

They did, but there's obviously way more to it than just "64 is more tactical so 128 is gone now", which is what we don't know.

[drowsy shuttle]

128 players infantry Frontlines (old bf5 game mode) is the dream. (that will never happen)

[arctic grove]

also nope, even crappy players can't really get overpowered weapons to their full potential, you still need to know how to avoid enemy's bullets as example, find spots where you can safely kill people instead of getting murdered by ten people in same position, and to properly aim

[simple reef]

They'll probably ditch 128 players. Just doesn't seem worth it from a performance and netcode stability perspective.

In future entries, I mean.

[lapis perch]

If you want to speculate about more than what's been clearly said, that's up to you. What you imagine in your mind doesnt make it true lol

[drowsy shuttle]

even with 64 players the netcode, hit reg etc is a mess

[simple reef]

Do you genuinely expect honesty from either DICE or EA?

[hidden sand]

I never claimed my speculation was true, but alright my guy 👌

[lapis perch]

I hope so, 128 isnt appealing to me for Battlefield.

[arctic grove]

which is fine. Its not for everyone but that doesnt mean it had to be completely removed.

[lapis perch]

I think the haters are more invested in hating than I am. It's just a game to me, lol. I play it, and I play other games, and do other shit when I feel like it, lol.

[hidden sand]

I don't know why people want 128 players when it is absolutely the reason why we only got 1 map.

[arctic grove]

not really, pretty much all previous BF games seem to work fine with 64 players

[lapis perch]

Cant satisfy everyone, might as well satisfy your majority, using the player data and forum feedback

[hidden sand]

Accommodating a map for 128 players takes wayyyy longer than 64, I'd imagine.

[simple reef]

I don't hate the game, it's literally one of my most-played games on Steam, it's just that I don't think it's wise to expect DICE or EA to be transparent about anything they say or claim to do.

[arctic grove]

I doubt it, they could've at least copypasted parts of the map like they did in BFV as example with copying 50% of Rotterdam's stuff around, especially the corners

[hidden sand]

That's just the art side of it. A lot goes into the actual flow and design for the gameplay part, which takes a lot of time and playtesting.

[arctic grove]

Im confident 128 bt will run smoother with all the re used assets in the re worked maps

[lapis perch]

I don't find arbitrary speculation to be useful in basically any context, I prefer to work with information I have. That at least affords some accountability, as opposed to making things up in my head and then operating as if that's information to react to lol

[simple reef]

We'll never know, as we'll never play it again lol.

[arctic grove]

well didn't they release pretty much empty maps tho with almost no cover

[simple reef]

Unless they bring it back as a Limited Time Mode in the future and try advertising it as 'new content'.

[arctic grove]

not all of them are like that but a lot of the ones that came at release and beta

[hidden sand]

Yeah, but now they're actually trying to improve the level design.

[arctic grove]

Windows xp field can be considered art XD

[simple reef]

Yeah, the lack of cover is annoying.

A stray box or roadblock is the most you'll find on any of the release maps.

[hidden sand]

Level designing is a super lengthy process that requires so much feedback and time. I wouldn't expect more than 2 maps if they are going to focus on 128 players still.

Just wish they'd never gone the 128 route.

[arctic grove]

Dice had 3 years to work on it. Plus they pulled the plug on swbf2 and bfv for this game.

[hidden sand]

Not the point I'm making. Talking about future maps.

[simple reef]

It's a fun experiment and definitely something that I think could be great if they actually bothered putting effort into it.

[wide shore]

Apparently they’re not going to be designing for 128 specifically going forward

[arctic grove]

true. it didnt feel like they bothered putting effort until now.

[lapis perch]

And them some bumbling teammate in a tank drives over it, or you have a sneaky flank in cover but your squadmate spawns on you or your beacon and starts going cyclic with a pkp or some shit, getting you nuked lmao

[wide shore]

128 is still gonna be around. But it’s not going to be the same focus as the base maps/exposure

[hidden sand]

I'm sure the level designers put a lot of effort in, probably just inexperienced.

[violet meteor]

Dang back to turning crossplay on

[hidden sand]

Because honestly, I can't figure out how you can put an objective on top of a building and think it's a good idea lol.

[wide shore]

They did it in BF4

[simple reef]

Vehicle supremacy in this game is also incredibly annoying.

Like, I get it, vehicles are a big part of Battlefield, but it's ridiculous how much control they have over regular infantry in this specific game. Genuinely feel like I'm playing World of Tanks rather than Battlefield at times.

[magic gust]

why is there 3 modes of conquest

[tame cobalt]

Rushed

[lapis perch]

I think it was a fun experiment, but it takes away from the things that make Battlefield shine. Either there's no room for meaningful strats and plays, or you get into this endless loop of bumbling around "balancing" vehicles and gadgets between shit and op.

[violet meteor]

But infantry last longer than tanks in 2042

[hidden sand]

Only the Helis are OP atm.

Ground vehicles have never been this weak in a BF game before.

[wide shore]

Exodus Conquest is 64 CQ with the portal maps + base maps. Exposure 24/7 is 24/7 exposure. Conquest is just 128 CQ on all maps (except portal)

[simple reef]

Yeah, scratch that, actually. Most land vehicles are fine.

[lapis perch]

Just remember, the more players you incorporate, the weaker you have to make individual things, otherwise they'll feel exponentially more OP with each added player using it.

[hidden sand]

Which map? I don't remember.

[simple reef]

I feel like I'm playing [insert some helicopter game] rather than Battlefield at times.

[wide shore]

Shanghai. But you could drop the flag to ground level. Though some server admins didn’t like it

[hearty jungle]

Have a problem how do i fix bf2042 since it’s stuck on the loading screen ?

[honest comet]

lol

[simple reef]

I'm a terrible pilot in air vehicles, too. I just stick to LATV4's.

[honest comet]

man this poor pc ppl lol

with their million bugs

[simple reef]

And get sniped by some guy with an SWS-10 from 2 objective points away.

[hidden sand]

Ah yeah lol, have no clue how I didn't think of that. Though I feel like that tower had better routes on-top, thanks to the roof elevator as well.

Plus, you couldn't air drop vehicles on it.

[honest comet]

those are pretty dope snipers then

[wide shore]

This is the biggest problem

[hidden sand]

It's absolutely hilarious that they included a C4 launch in the trailer and you can't do it in-game

[wide shore]

Elevators have always and will always be a campers best friend.

That BFFs episode doesn’t exist for nothin

[hidden sand]

It's cool to see BFFs back

Just a shame the latest videos have been mocking the game

Not that they shouldn't point out the flaws, just sad the game didn't turn out better.

[wide shore]

Was the same way with the BF4 content. Lol

They had to drag engineer to the game cause he wanted to keep playing BF3

[hidden sand]

I wonder how high BF3s playercount was post-bf4 launch.

Given I'm sure a lot of players returned purely out of spite lol.

[simple reef]

2042 is just... meh. It's 'alright'. That's all I can say. I've definitely got my money's worth out of it, not gonna act like I've been ripped off like certain people with several hundred hours do lmao.

[hidden sand]

I hope July's update is next week

[simple reef]

Then again, I didn't pay full price for it like a lot of people did. I got it for -50% off during EA's sale a few months back out of morbid curiosity after holding off on buying it.

[hidden sand]

Next Thursday specifically

[simple reef]

So, I probably would feel way different if I had paid £49.99 for it.

[hidden sand]

I paid 90USD for it. So yeah, definitely felt ripped off.

[simple reef]

That I can understand. Game isn't worth full price.

[hidden sand]

I wouldn't have though if they had an option to combine different eras content in Portal.

[simple reef]

But for £24.99, 123 hours of gameplay thus far hasn't been my worst purchase ever, aha.

[hidden sand]

Which, oddly enough, they still don't.

[simple reef]

I doubt Portal is even really a focus for them now.

[tame cobalt]

The thing with the seattle battlefield studio is weird

Do we really need a new studio that makes battlefield story experiences

[hexed mango]

only 123 hours damn

[tame cobalt]

We need more people on the main battlefield projects so that they'll have enough peeps to properly support the current game while making the next one.

[simple reef]

I haven't got a ridiculous amount of free time on my hands like other people do.

[hexed mango]

hehehehaw

[tame cobalt]

Rather than a team making story experiences

[simple reef]

My most played game is 292 hours on Steam.

[arctic grove]

Dice is working on a Campaign

Hopefully they put effort into that

[hidden sand]

Man it's SWBF all over again lol

"WhEReS ThE CamPAigN?"

BF really doesn't a campaign imo.

It's always been MP focused.

[tame cobalt]

No they aren't

A new studio is

[hexed mango]

for 2042?
no, right?

idk i thought it was for BFM

[hidden sand]

It's so weird that they're making a singleplayer focused game honestly

[tame cobalt]

It's probably the campaign of the next main game

[uncut bay]

would be funny if their takeaway from 2042 was "oh so the players really do like our campaigns"

[hidden sand]

I mean, that's what happened with SWBF. Wouldn't be surprising.

[hexed mango]

that would be a sad takeaway

[hidden sand]

People use the lack of a campaign as a way to criticize the game even though most people don't play it.

[hexed mango]

although i do gotta say. SWBF2's campaign was pretty good

[tame cobalt]

At least it is a seperate studio making it. So the multiplayer studio will focus fully on multiplayer.

[hearty flame]

well people like to point out that a campaign could explain the lack of content for mp but since is mp only theres no excuse there

[uncut bay]

i mean i would've criticised the game because i enjoy campaigns and i see it as part of the £50 price tag. In this case there are additional modes so i was willing to pay, it's just a shame that one of them might as well not exist

[hidden sand]

That's valid. But a lack of a campaign, that alone, is a poor way to criticize the game imo.

[hexed mango]

i mean portal has a lot, and they're gonna rework portal guns for 2042
i wouldnt be suprised if they do the same for other portal stuff

god damn my keyboard sucks

[hidden sand]

People had no problem shelling out 60USD for Battlefield until BC1 and 2 happened.

[hearty flame]

i know im just pointing out an argument ive seen. of course there being no campaign means all hands were on the mp and look at what 2042 launched with

[hexed mango]

anyways, what do you guys use for M5A3

[hidden sand]

It's always been shocking to me that people regard BF3s campaign as a masterpiece but go off ig.

Good for them for enjoying it so much.

[uncut bay]

it's shocking to me that people do the same for bad company 2

bland and boring as shit

[hearty flame]

i think its the characters people like more than the campaign in bc2

[arctic grove]

bc2 as specialists wouldve been better

[lament plank]

jesus fucking christ. i love how on kalidascope BT, it spawns you out in the wide open, no cover so you can get instantly spawn killed by snipers and vehicles. here i am, spawning at the home point on the first objective as a bolte literally drives through the spawn, killing everyone. and then next objective, hinds just camp the spawns all around the building. and then on the third objective (and this is the best one yet) it literally spawns me in the road between the enemy home point and C. so guess who got literally spawn killed, again. whoever programmed that youll spawn between 100-150m from the points you have to defend, in the wide exposed open should not have a job anymore.

[arctic grove]

2042 characters are goofy asf

[hexed mango]

skill issue

[glossy storm]

Chill.

[hexed mango]

also, that's kinda the reason they're reworking that map @lament plank

[unborn herald]

dude wrote a whole essay from rage quitting

[lament plank]

yes. wow. another witty comment. please tell me more about how its my "skill" that assigns me to random spawn points that are already pre camped.

[hexed mango]

just get better spawns. ez.

[unborn herald]

^

[fiery shoal]

or use smokes to advance....

[hexed mango]

^^^^^^^^^^

[fiery shoal]

and respawn beacons...

[hidden sand]

People would've complained still. Not that it's unfair to. Important to note that BC2s MP didn't share the silly style the campaign had, and that's definitely for a good reason.

[fiery shoal]

the tools are there

[lament plank]

ah yes, ill certainly use smokes...when...i...literally...take...ONE...step...and...die. like what part about a bolte driving around the spawn do you not comprehend?

[rigid rose]

Random wide Angel. Have a nice day.

[arctic grove]

True

[unborn herald]

go to different spawn then

or go spawn a vehicle

[lament plank]

please, tell me more about how a smoke will protect me from vehicles in my spawn that literally kill me when i spawn in.

[fiery shoal]

stop capping, its only going to hurt yourself

[lament plank]

ah yes, go to a different spawn, please tell me, when A1 and A2 are in red, and all my squadmates are dead, please enlighten me where else do i spawn?

[unborn herald]

or use irish for the barrier

[glossy storm]

How do you know they're capping?

[unborn herald]

or dozer for the shield

[hexed mango]

on your team spawn.

[fiery shoal]

99% of the time someone complains like that and makes it seems they have absolutely no control over the situation they are just being dumb

[lament plank]

......yes clearly your trolling has ruined your comprehension skills when i blatantly said THE HOME POINT SPAWN was being camped.

[hexed mango]

so spawn on a vehicle

or. get better teammates

also, they cant physically camp on your home spawn, cause that's out of the combat area, so you have a sector basically of space to work with

[lament plank]

hurrr hurrr spawn on a vehicle he says, please mr morbius tell me how many vehicles you get defending the first points on kalidascope

[lapis perch]

Yo I saw a Steam review for 2042 that was the "Not Recommended", and the player had over 2500 hours at the time of review.... AND 200 more hours since! LMAO

[hidden sand]

Man if you're being killed by boltes still, I'd suggest rethinking your playstyle a bit.

[hexed mango]

cause steam reviews are all for clout

[fiery shoal]

then when you question them on it they say "i have so many hours so i actually know all the problems"

[lament plank]

and yet i spawn, right outside the building, where an enemy bolte is doing donuts killing everyone....youre right, the line for the zone is close, but they can still be in the wide open area, and you spawn in with no cover, and guess what, you still die

[hexed mango]

so many casper drones

[arctic grove]

Xasper is the perfect scout

[hexed mango]

man im sorry but honestly, its not my problem, and i cant do anything to fix it :P

[lapis perch]

oh ffs lol

[hidden sand]

Ye the spawns are horrendous but I'm kind of hard pressed to believe nobody could deal with the bolte.

Especially since it's a 2 shot with the M5 Recoiless.

[fiery shoal]

are there annoying scenarios in 2042? 100%. can you do something about it? 100%. do i think youre doing the right thing in these scenarios? absolutely not

[hexed mango]

play rao, hack the bolte
play sundance, use AA
use the rocket launcher
use Lis

[lament plank]

yes ill certainly hack things, when i have 2 seconds to live before it kills me. or when i spawn in the middle of the enemy team. heres a better idea, how about the spawns get placed better so i can actually walk more than 5 feet without being blown up by multiple vehicles????

[hidden sand]

Yeah spawns need improvement.

Way showed off a really good example a bit ago.

[fiery shoal]

again, you acting like theres nothing to do is a bigger problem than anything youve complained about

[glossy storm]

That's what they're doing.

[hexed mango]

2 seconds is double the time needed

[elder patrol]

Spaghetti

[glossy storm]

Improving Kaleidoscope and Renewal.

[lament plank]

like no "play style" or "specialist change" is going to fix rampant spawn camping due to lack of game testing

[fiery shoal]

what a baseless claim

i looked up your stats, youre literally bottom 30% in just about everything, its obvious you are also a part of the problem...

[hidden sand]

I mean, it's kind of accurate though? Spawns are super bad atm, especially with no spawn protection.

[fiery shoal]

not saying spawns arent bad, but to suggest he cant do anything is absolute bullshit

[hidden sand]

Often times you can't tho.

Unless you manage to get a spawn outside of that area.

Then you can, but it's super inconsistent.

[fiery shoal]

all i know is ive hardly ever been in that situation myself, and somehow im consistently at the top of the leaderboards

[hidden sand]

I've not been in it either, but I have unintentionally been the spawn killer multiple times lol.

[fiery shoal]

yea youll get screwed over a few times because of spawns, thats just a given nature of the game

[hidden sand]

Did you see Ways clip showing it?

It's a really good example.

[fiery shoal]

nah

[obsidian elk]

Nice, glad to hear that. Also going to keep track of that account since it seems like a reliable source of Battlefield news.

[edgy oriole]

Manifest boat spawns are trash. Has been since game release. That's the only map I'll truly get spawn camped.

[obsidian elk]

Oh shit

I didn't look at the new skin yet

brb

[hexed mango]

vehicles

and a good M5 skin

[obsidian elk]

Don't spoil

[edgy oriole]

Weapon skin fire tho

[hexed mango]

:(

[obsidian elk]

(eww M5)

[edgy oriole]

[hexed mango]

M5 is a decent AR cause it has more than 1 use

[obsidian elk]

I mean yeah it has versatility going for it

[hidden sand]

Can't find the clip, rip.

[edgy oriole]

Imma play 2042 for 72 hours straight when I get off work in 45 minutes

[obsidian elk]

but to me it always feels like it has "pea shooter syndrome"

YES thank GOD they kept exposure conquest on the playlist

it's been like three/four weeks now?

Their data must be telling them that the playrate on the map is massive

[hexed mango]

they fucking removed BT tho

[edgy oriole]

bt

[median tree]

Yo I got a question, what happens i I don’t unlock the bsv-m before the season ends ?

[obsidian elk]

Is the only difference between Exodus Conquest and Regular Conquest being that in Exodus you just don't play as specialists?

[obsidian elk]

I did enjoy Exposure BT but I think the reason why people were getting frustrated with it was the Hind 50mm

[median tree]

I barely play the game but I saw this gun looks really fun, so I might try to get it but if I’m gonna get it for free once the season ends I won’t bother

[edgy oriole]

They said you can go back and get it. Idk how that'll look tho.

[hidden sand]

Here it is @fiery shoal

[obsidian elk]

I enjoyed the more tactical and tighter experience with fewer players and clearer objectives, but that hind was really ruining the map

Okay, the F-35 skin is quite pretty

The apache skin is cool

[left hollow]

I just had such an intense game the score was 13-0

[obsidian elk]

Looks very sleek and modern

[glossy storm]

I feel so bad for those people.

[obsidian elk]

I love the F-35 weapon charm, it looks very cute

[hidden sand]

It's crazy how bad the spawns can be.

[fiery shoal]

yea thats just dumb

[left hollow]

They need to add a camera view of where your spawning

[obsidian elk]

The M5 skin is really cool, still wishing it was easier to tell if a weapon skin was universal or only on the m5 though

I can tell this one is only on the M5 because it's very stylized

[hexed mango]

the color.

[hidden sand]

I really wish it was all grey or black, and didn't have any of the US stuff on it lol.

[hexed mango]

Epic skins are not universal

[glossy storm]

Halfway through the video, I was like "OK YOU'VE MADE YOUR POINT, NOW STOP SPAWN-KILLING..."

[obsidian elk]

I don't feel like the T28 skin is any different than any of the others I've seen? Very boring even for a Common skin

[hexed mango]

Commons are

[obsidian elk]

I'll keep that in mind

[lament plank]

yep. great video. imagine this except with a bolte. but yeah im so glad thats my "bottom 30%" playstyles fault

[glossy storm]

How long have you been playing, BTW?

[obsidian elk]

Anyway, overall, a decent store update, nice US-themed content, but nothing that catches my eye enough to buy it, unlike Dozer/Mackay/Rao bundles

Review complete

Thoughts?

[tacit sphinx]

in the icon, if it's an image of the skin it'll be unique to that specific thing, if it's a flat panel with a pattern on it then it's universal for the category

[uncut bay]

i don't even check the store tbh, i forget it's there

[obsidian elk]

Still, I swear to god that t28 skin is not any different from even the default appearance, lmao

It's so weird

[obsidian elk]

I see, I'll keep that in mind as well.

[fiery shoal]

i knew you were gonna jump onto this as your excuse. keep blaming the game and youll never get better

[obsidian elk]

So if it's just an image of the camo then it's universal, but if it's just an image of the gun, it's only for that gun

also Epic rarity as well means it's only for that gun

[lapis perch]

lol you'd have to be embarrassingly sweaty to bother doing that

[obsidian elk]

makes sense

[obsidian elk]

Not really

[hexed mango]

yeah no epics are uni

[obsidian elk]

You can learn the spawn points simply over time

[hidden sand]

You don't learn the exact square when learning spawn points, just the general location to keep aware of

[obsidian elk]

I'm guessing we're getting a Russian themed bundle as well soon

with Sukhoi skin

and Sukhoi weapon charm

[lapis perch]

What I said has no bearing on whether you can learn it over time. It's the bothering to learn spawn placements at all that's embarrassingly sweaty

[obsidian elk]

Hind skin maybe too

or Hokum skin

[hexed mango]

example:

[hidden sand]

I doubt there'll be a Russian bundle like that, at least.

[obsidian elk]

But the person you replied to specifically said "you can learn spawn points", not speaking about doing it deliberately

[lament plank]

ah yes. i love when people are presented with clear evidence of indefensible spawn camping, where you spawn in with your back to someone so you dont even have time to react, and its called an excuse. but oh god forbid someone else brings to light issues with the game and the best you can come up with is that its a "skill" issue. apparently being killed near instantly is "skill" related based on the poorly placed spawn locations.

[obsidian elk]

They could avoid it for political reasons, yeah

[obsidian elk]

👀

[hexed mango]

i mean its also Fourth of July, so that's why its American

[gloomy wyvern]

im not, i just was saying you can learn

[obsidian elk]

Oh yeah

it might be just a 4th of july thing

[hidden sand]

I dunno how learning the general location of spawns is sweaty tbh

[obsidian elk]

and not a faction based thing

so we might not actually get a russian bundle along with this

Still, there's a chance

[hidden sand]

It's pretty basic BF sense to take control of objectives better

[hexed mango]

although Russia's "Independence Day" is on June like 15th or smth

so they kinda skipped it

[lapis perch]

@gloomy wyvern To be clear, I wasn't saying you as in you specifically ☮️

[obsidian elk]

Honestly the spawns in this game are intuitive and well designed enough that you intuitively know when and where the enemy is going to spawn anyway, depending on whether or not you're on the flag or just close to it, etc.

[hexed mango]

June 12th

[obsidian elk]

With outliers of course. Spawns break on rare occasion

[wise zodiac]

[hidden sand]

Lol no they are not well designed at all. You can still learn them, at least.

[fiery shoal]

you cant apply another persons video and scenario to yours and act like yours is consistent either.. you dont point out the wealthiest family in a 3rd world country as an example for the country being well off.. i believe deep down you know this you just dont want to admit it

again, all this is only going to hurt you more in the long run, if i believe you or not isnt going to change shit spawns in 2042 and certainly isnt going to make you better at the game

[lapis perch]

You're engaging in a weird argument.

Spawns need improvement, as evidenced by that video. There's not much more nuance to the issue.

[fiery shoal]

if you think im saying spawns dont need work you havent followed the conversation

or your making huge assumptions

[lament plank]

yeah righteous, hes to busy looking up my stats and just wants to say im bad at the game l o l

[lapis perch]

I don't think anything I said was unreasonable or involved "making huge assumptions" lol.

[glossy storm]

[obsidian elk]

Matter of opinion. I think the spawning system in this game is fair and balanced

Surely you're not counting the occasional spawn bug as part of intended design

[hidden sand]

Not really a matter of opinion tho with videos like that one Way sent.

[obsidian elk]

Also I only very rarely get spawned on top of enemies/have enemies spawn on top of me

That was an outlier too, though.

[hidden sand]

It's not an outlier when I'm able to do what he did each match I play.

[fiery shoal]

without video proof of your scenario we got nothing to go by other than your word. dont be mad i called out the likely problem

[wise zodiac]

They should probably just, I dunno, make an argument that

If enemy present near spawn point = true
Spawn point = disabled

[obsidian elk]

Also keep in mind that much of my experience is limited to the new map,

which likely has better algorithms.

[hexed mango]

ngl that hurts, the way you wrote that

[obsidian elk]

So it's a solid system until you exploit it? That's your argument?

[fiery shoal]

again if you followed the conversation then what you said is a huge assumption because i outright said there are bs spawn scenarios...

[lament plank]

yes let me go record every match i play just so i can come post it here just for you. ill be sure to get right on that 🙂

[wise zodiac]

I dont code, so sue me lol

[hexed mango]

i will

[obsidian elk]

It's true that really solid systems are hard to exploit, so maybe you have a point there

[uncut bay]

they do that (or did) in tdm and deathmatch. It was awful and made everyone spawn in one place at the same time as soon as it was available

[hexed mango]

why didnt this guy get EMP'd lol

2 EMP grenades got eaten

[hidden sand]

? You completely misread that. Enemies continuing to spawn on a point regardless of whether or not you or teammates are there. On pretty much every map I've played on.

[fiery shoal]

i mean, if you dont want people to reasonably look at your stats to see if you just dont suck at the game then thats what you should do

[obsidian elk]

I haven't experienced that.

[uncut bay]

emp grenades are shit, idk what's wrong with them

[wise zodiac]

I mean, there should be enough spawn points placed that you don't get 30 people spawning at the same location..

[hexed mango]

this EMP challenge is the only one im stuck on

EMP and Medpen are in need of buffs

[uncut bay]

emp was easy on exposure, just spam them on C

but the challenge definitely highlighted that there's something wrong with them

[obsidian elk]

Medpen should self-heal really fast to be worth it over the medpack that can heal your entire team + yourself

[hidden sand]

EMP really shouldn't be in the game honestly.

[obsidian elk]

Reduce the number of stims by one and just increase the speed of healing

Is the only difference between Exodus Conquest and Regular Conquest being that in Exodus you just don't play as specialists?

[simple reef]

Y'all I found Renewal IRL. 😭

[hexed mango]

no, its the maps

[lament plank]

ah yes because stats dictate wether someone is telling the truth or not. cool. glad you think that way. wow youre so skilled, i better take every word you say as gospel wow becasuse clearly all you want to do here is say wow look at me i know the game so well, i could never be spawn camped even though im presented with an example how bad it can be

[fiery shoal]

i feel like at that point you start running into making falcks most useful trait accessible to everyone else

[hexed mango]

Exodus conquest has some portal maps mixed in

#direct-communication message

@obsidian elk

[obsidian elk]

She can do it at a range and doesn't need a gadget slot for it though

[uncut bay]

stim shouldn't be in the game, neither should armor

[obsidian elk]

So it's just regular conquest but specifically with old maps?

[silk surge]

I just unlocked 30mm cannon and flares on stealth heli and holy shit is this thing OP.

[hexed mango]

hot

[hexed mango]

and some 2042 maps, yes

[lapis perch]

Unpopular Opinion: Boris needs a buff because he was overnerfed

[simple reef]

They really removed the Exposure Breakthrough 24/7 playlist for that shit. 😭

[hexed mango]

i agree

[uncut bay]

enjoy it, probably not getting nerfed any time soon

[hexed mango]

indeed sad

[low timber]

That’s why I don’t use them, easier to shoot down people who abuse those with the stock MGs

[wise zodiac]

Unpopular opinion: Battlefield Vietnam is the best Battlefield.

[hidden sand]

It shouldn't be nerfed, just needs to be fixed. The overheat is bugged.

[hexed mango]

Heroes is better
