battlefield-2042

[lapis perch]

Bless. I'm attempting to T1 him because I'm a masochist and it's almost comically rough.

[silk surge]

It really should be. This thing is basically a pre-nerf bolte that also flies and is almost impossible to lock onto.

[fiery shoal]

it suggests a lot, that along with the lack of you admitting any fault even though your a well below average player paints the picture enough. i could 100% only be here to show off that im good at the game, youd be stupid to not take what i say to heart at all just because im calling out your bad gameplay

[glossy storm]

Clearly, that free BF game was the best.

[hexed mango]

i really gotta choose between these 2

[low timber]

Legendary, always legendary

[hexed mango]

so not the < 24 hour skin

[obsidian elk]

Is the underbarrel smoke launcher bugged?

[simple reef]

How do I 'git gud' at vehicles? I've not even reached T3 on LATV4 after 123 hours. Will I ever get the T1 Vehicle achievement? 😭

[wise zodiac]

Why the shark face tho

[hexed mango]

just play coop until you're comfortable, and try to get it in multiplayer

[silk surge]

The laughing death skin is extremely rare btw. You were only able to get in during a single day. Equip it with pride.

[lament plank]

please, again, enlighten us all how when i choose to spawn at the home base, its my fault that someone on the enemy team camps me. please i cant wait to hear this one

[fiery shoal]

its still her most useful trait that would be diminished by buffing med pen though, id argue using a gadget slot is of lesser concern than a "specialist slot"

[lapis perch]

But... a player can be "bad", and also subject to the same unfair gameplay mechanics or scenarios as good players.

[hexed mango]

Grin Reaper

[low timber]

Didn’t they already give it away a second time?

[hexed mango]

nope

MERICA

[silk surge]

Nope. They gave away a similar one for apache in the battlepass.

[wise zodiac]

That's cool

[simple reef]

I'll be honest, my attention has kinda been on Fall Guys as of late. I do wanna return to 2042 soon, though. Maybe I can have fun without my beloved Breakthrough.

[fiery shoal]

just a low bar example, use smoke, mackay and beacons to get out of those scenario, its not gonna work 100% of the time, but its about increasing your odds for success

[hexed mango]

apache has this

[low timber]

Huh, Remembered that they did, well they have confirmed those items to come back at some time

[fiery shoal]

no shit? never said otherwise.

[hexed mango]

this one is cooler tho

[low timber]

The legendary Apache skin looks good

Yup, that one

[hidden sand]

Honestly Nyphon not sure what makes you so inclined to believe this is a skill thing after that video.

[obsidian elk]

Can someone explain the underbarrel grenade launcher to me?

[wise zodiac]

But being spawn camped isn't that users fault.

It's the entire teams fault for allowing them to be spawn camped.

[obsidian elk]

I'm not sure if I'm just missing something or not

[hexed mango]

idk i never use them

[obsidian elk]

Sometimes the smoke doesn't linger

and I don't know why

it like puffs and then immediately fades out

[fiery shoal]

because that video isnt applicable to every game...

what kind of logic is that

[obsidian elk]

and it also seems like you can't spread the smoke by firing more than one

[simple reef]

What are you on about?

[lament plank]

go back, watch that video, please tell me how in that example being mckay would help when youre getting shot in the back the literal second your model shows up.

[hidden sand]

It's not, but knowing how frequent it is I'm absolutely more inclined to believe that was at fault.

[hexed mango]

we need this skin for the Huron

[fiery shoal]

dude raging that he constantly gets spawn camped and cant do anything about it

[obsidian elk]

I find that kind of sawtooth jaw style artwork to be very tacky

[hidden sand]

If the spawn problem was rare I'd see your point.

[lapis perch]

Oh I know you didn't say or acknowledge that, that's why I said it specifically and it wasn't a question. I'm curious why you're just harassing this other player on their stats when they're talking about an issue unrelated to their stats

[obsidian elk]

even in the early 2000's when it was popular I still thought it was ugly

[wise zodiac]

No, but it happened and an abundance of kills were farmed as soon as the players spawned.

That's abuse & possibly could be considered exploiting, by the player who knowing the spawn was faulty.

The people being killed instantly couldn't run.

[fiery shoal]

again, your using that example and not yours, WAYs worst case scenario isnt the common scenario.

[wise zodiac]

That's not their fault.

[hidden sand]

Except, Ways example is common...

[obsidian elk]

I think the battlepass Hind skin invalidates all other Hind skins tbh

[low timber]

What faulty spawn? The one in the tunnel between B1 and B2 in Exposed breakthrough?

[obsidian elk]

it's just so good

[wise zodiac]

Talking about Way's video.

[simple reef]

Spawn camping sucks and is just unfun to deal with in general. Simple.

[low timber]

Need to search for that then

[wise zodiac]

Spawn camping takes zero skill.

[fiery shoal]

maybe im playing a different game to you guys, but i cant even recall seeing ways video ever, let alone ive never had a situation where myself was spawn camped for more than 2-3 deaths

[fiery shoal]

of course, thats not the topic though...

[wise zodiac]

[lament plank]

constantly in the match in question*

[hearty flame]

if youre not the spawn camped maybe youre the spawn camper

[wise zodiac]

You've never played Operation Locker?

Or Metro?

[fiery shoal]

100%

[hidden sand]

I've unintentionally spawn camped multiple times because of how bad the spawns are.

Yet I've rarely been spawn camped myself.

[obsidian elk]

I've never been spawn camped for a single death

lol

Nor have I been in a situation where I can spawn camp the enemy

[fiery shoal]

i personally dont spawn camp, my clan is anti spawn camping, its not conductive to creating a healthy playerbase

[obsidian elk]

Again, as I said earlier, Way's video was an outlier

No spawn system is perfect

[arctic grove]

i'd fall into a deep depression

[simple reef]

BF2042 clans. I've heard it all.

[hidden sand]

I can't see how it's an outlier when I find this issue each match I play, tbh.

[arctic grove]

Why is my game always crashing

[hidden sand]

And I'm not even on the receiving end of it.

[wise zodiac]

Then you know how easy it is to be spawn locked on those maps. So I don't see how you've never been spawnlocked/camped before.

[simple reef]

It's poorly optimised and your hardware most likely isn't up to snuff.

[fiery shoal]

i honestly think thats just statistically not possible

[simple reef]

Recommended requirements are a 3060. 😭

[hidden sand]

Ways example pretty much always happens to me. I don't know what else to say? It's likely not a bug but a poor spawn system.

[arctic grove]

Means

[lapis perch]

I'm playing on a 1070 and it plays alright. I'd upgrade my CPU before GPU for 2042 if I had to pick, though.

[wise zodiac]

Poor spawn system is more accurate.

[bronze steeple]

BP this week very easy

[arctic grove]

damn good to know honestly

[fiery shoal]

honestly cant say i have been spawn locked for more than a few deaths in any bf game/map/mode, i know ive gotten to the point of spawn trapping other teams but i usually back of myself and since im typically the force that got our team to spawn trap it ends that scenario. granted my team spawn trapping is generally rare

[arctic grove]

the only time ive really been spawnlocked/camped

is classic metro/locker

[hidden sand]

Important to point out though, it's rare the same person spawns over and over on that same spot. It's usually multiple different people.

[wise zodiac]

I've been spawnlocked frequently, and it sucks. Usually because of trash teammates. But, I digress.

[lapis perch]

Since the XP required to earn individual tokens increases with each tier, it'd be more efficient to grind as much as you can in the first half of the BP tiers, so you benefit more from Weekly Mission bulk tokens in the back half, where the XP requirements are higher.

[fiery shoal]

again, if you followed the conversation you would know that i started with giving him tips to get out of those scenarios and ways to help, but he just kept ignoring them and being sarcastic about any help and only stood behind him being helpless to the games mechanics. after a few times trying to be reasonable to him i called him out for his stats and put more blame on his lack skill/knowledge than anything else

[simple reef]

The game is capable of using 12 cores. It's ridiculous, tbh.

[lapis perch]

I shake my tower like a hobo's mug of coins and barely hear any cores tinkling around

[fiery shoal]

i consistently run mobile characters with smoke and beacons if possible, so i assume that naturally helps a lot, but its not like others cant do the same in their games

[wise zodiac]

I don't play with spawn beacons, so I can't attest to anything lol

[simple reef]

Got an RTX 3080 and AMD Ryzen 5600X. I run at 2560x1440, Medium Graphical Preset.

[fiery shoal]

imo spawn beacons are a must in bf games

[simple reef]

Can't even stay in the low 100's at times.

[lament plank]

yes, such great examples. like throw a smoke to cover your advance. when it was already said that i dont even get to move (aka advance towards somewhere) before im dead. yes ill be sure to use a spawn beacon when (like i said) the only spawn option is the home point thats being camped because the objectives are neutralized/half capped, a beacon will really solve that. a good portion of the maps for breakthrough need better defensive spawns, or the out of bounds line needs to be pushed closer to the point.

[fiery shoal]

example above for his sarcastic responses that put blame on the game vs himself

[lapis perch]

Spawn Bacons are the best gadget don't @ me. I'm out here tryna T1 my spoon bacon

[hidden sand]

Did not realize you could tier up the spawn beacon tbh

[fiery shoal]

dude outright said beacons wont help being camped... thats literally one of the few mechanics in the game that will help against being camped..

[tame cobalt]

@hidden sand u said they removed botb verticality... How so

[simple reef]

I just wanna T1 my LATV4. :(

[lament plank]

hmmm thats not what i said, perhaps if you look at the context again youll understand

[simple reef]

My Prox sensor is 1,400 spots away. Whereas I've got 1,300 Vehicle kills to go.

[fiery shoal]

a spawn beacon directly solves the problem of only having one spawn to choose from...

[lament plank]

the context of i spawn at the home point, in the wide open, where i get killed, so you want me to drop a beacon that will just lead to more camping because they see me drop it (again, in the wide, unsheltered open of the home spawn on kalidascope defence phase 1)

[lapis perch]

I've been following it. Just to be sure, I even looked up your name and every comment you've made in the channel over the last 50 minutes. While you're making suggestions, you're not really participating in good faith because your tactical suggestions aren't addressing the obvious (and conversationally recurring) issue of spawn camping, apparently in favor of harassing a user based on their stats and being disingenuous. At least, that's how you're coming across.

You'll obviously disagree though, so it's neither here nor there.

[fiery shoal]

possibly been in that exact scenario, all i did was smoke, run further back, heal with falck, take a wide flank, place beacon as far as i can, repeat.

[steady pewter]

Absolutely CPU. No matter what i did to my graphics settings with my 3070, i was being throttled by my CPU. 2042 is super CPU dependent

[lapis perch]

HNNNNNG

Yeah it's rough. It's also a contributing factor to what's hamstrung their 128 mode(s) for the majority of users.

[simple reef]

Never understood how AAA gaming companies can fuck up PC ports, tbh. Even if they don't wanna do port work themselves, it's not necessarily hard to get an experienced port house to do the work for you.

[hearty flame]

$$$

[tame cobalt]

[fiery shoal]

"addressing the obvious problem" would be what though? me fixing spawns themselves? cant do that so im going to give ways to help youself out of that problem.

[hidden sand]

This too @tame cobalt

[simple reef]

PC ports still require funding and support from internal development teams. They aren't a costless endeavour.

[hidden sand]

Which is the barracks

[hearty flame]

sure but why spend much more money making a good, relatively bug free pc port when you can make a working pc port and people will eat it up

[lapis perch]

I get that, but you're also apparently attempting to invalidate that player's communicated experience, which is the opposite of helpful.

[tame cobalt]

Is the terrain actually flatter in new version

[simple reef]

I used to work as a communication manager for Nixxes, we were literally responsible for doing most of Square Enix's ports because they couldn't be bothered doing it themselves.

[hidden sand]

Yup

[tame cobalt]

[hidden sand]

Honestly I'm not sure how they managed to screw up BoTB so badly

[fiery shoal]

outright said spawns happen like that though... its just not all the time like that player suggested

[lapis perch]

lol why does my game window launch the size of a gameboy screen, even though it's set at my full desktop resolution

[tame cobalt]

the tdm area is pretty good at least

[simple reef]

Do you have a Steam or Origin copy?

[hidden sand]

Do you have an Nvidia gpu?

[hexed mango]

pick a number 1-4

[copper fulcrum]

Additionally, do you have a GPU?

[lapis perch]

Yeah I mean, it's apparent you're not going to agree or adjust your approach to be less abrasive to them. I'm just making an observation about how your communication comes across.

[hexed mango]

lmao

[hearty flame]

ah pc problem diagnosticing lol

[copper fulcrum]

You need one more level, Morbius

[tame cobalt]

Luckily you won't have to deal with kaleidoscope breakthrough issues anymore in a month

[lapis perch]

@simple reef Steam
@hidden sand Yes, 1070 with current drivers.

[simple reef]

The Steam overlay is most likely what causes it to launch in calculator res. Steam Overlay's good for social features and all, but it typically doesn't get along very well with 3rd-party PC API's or clients in general.

[hexed mango]

well im actually S080

[copper fulcrum]

FUCK

[hexed mango]

its just that TRN's stats dont update

[tame cobalt]

Mroibius

[fiery shoal]

i am 100% abrasive, but it seems most of your comments towards me was me not believing spawns are shit or that im not actually being helpful.

[hexed mango]

Mroi

[hidden sand]

Not sure if you have it enabled, but Nvidia used to force my resolution when launching a game to wacky ones through that optimize option.

Even when disabled.

[hexed mango]

hey, im getting close to S100

[hexed mango]

anyone?

[tame cobalt]

Pooggers

[lapis perch]

Well that's the thing, is it's still set to my desktop resolution, it's just 1/6th of my screen on launch lol. I always have to Alt+Enter it back to "fullscreen".

[fiery shoal]

as much as you dont get why i cant be nicer to someone i dont see why you have to white knight for someone

[simple reef]

That's just coming from my experience of dealing with and actually optimising some PC games prior, though. I don't work for EA or DICE.

[tame cobalt]

Only like 6 more years of playing daily till u get s999

[lapis perch]

Oh, and it's crashed three times in the last 10 minutes. Mama hold me back.

[hexed mango]

lmao

maybe by the end of the summer ill be S200 idk

[simple reef]

I had a whole squad of S999's with me in HZ before.

[hexed mango]

if they bring back BT Exposure

[hidden sand]

I'd say it's because even when being brought up with the fact that the poor spawns are common, you'd rather brush that aside and persist it's a player problem.

[hexed mango]

@tame cobalt pick a number 1-4

[hidden sand]

But to be honest, this seems like a weird argument to continue

[tame cobalt]

420

[hidden sand]

Kinda shocked it's gone on this long lol

[hexed mango]

._.

[tame cobalt]

4

[hexed mango]

k

[fiery shoal]

common isnt the same as all the time like the player suggests, and when you give them ways to get out of it and they just ignore it and turn pissy about it yea, im going to call that out too

[hexed mango]

https://tenor.com/bNwD3.gif

[fiery shoal]

its weird how everyone defaults this idea i dont believe spawns suck when i said they do multiple times, doesnt mean you are always helpless against them

[copper fulcrum]

"Tempered Blade"

[hidden sand]

Not saying that. The example just shows how you can't really deal with it.

[hexed mango]

I.
Just. Want. Jet.

[copper fulcrum]

no.

[hidden sand]

Because those are common, even if you don't notice it yourself.

[hexed mango]

ima die

[copper fulcrum]

good.

[bronze steeple]

Whats best weapon now?

[hexed mango]

https://tenor.com/bMnYM.gif

[hexed mango]

joe

[bronze steeple]

Whats that?

[lapis perch]

Pfft. Don't be goofy. Nothing I said has been "white knighting". Contrary to popular [shit] belief, pointing out when someone's/you're being rude and nonconstructive isn't "white knighting", lmao.

[fiery shoal]

again, common isnt always like the player suggests

[bronze steeple]

Bsv or k30?

[hexed mango]

both

ez

depends on playstyle

PP-29 is my personal choice

why cant Rao count for this.

[copper fulcrum]

White Knight Chess Pieces make for great decoration

[fiery shoal]

hardly being rude to them giving them actual in game advice, no im not nice about it, that doesnt default to being rude either

[low timber]

Because Rao doesn’t EMP, but hack, which somehow has same results.

[hexed mango]

its the same thing tho

[low timber]

I did mention it

[hidden sand]

I've unintentionally been the spawn camper in nearly every match I've played recently, so, it seems to be frequent enough to validate that somewhat.
But at the same time you're looking a bit too into someone's very recent frustration with the game.

They're gonna exaggerate it a bit.

[hexed mango]

yes

[bronze steeple]

Oke realy its good but i.prefer mp9 k30 bsv and m5 and sfar i think

[lapis perch]

You'll obviously disagree though, so it's neither here nor there.

[hexed mango]

PP shoots farther

[bronze steeple]

Ak and pp29 are good too

[fiery shoal]

which is fair, but when you give them actual advice and they reply like a sarcastic teen and act like they have no help im gonna call it out

[hexed mango]

i mean no doubt, tbh all the smgs are good

[low timber]

I think PP29 can two shot headshot

[bronze steeple]

Except pbx i dont like it

[hexed mango]

pbx kinda underrated tho...

[bronze steeple]

Its lame weapon

[hexed mango]

it can do well

[bronze steeple]

Shoots bananas

[hexed mango]

bananas > peas

[bronze steeple]

Last smg in list i never used

[steady pewter]

DM7 is my fav gun

[fiery shoal]

pbx is the "ease of use" smg, it doesnt excel anywhere and is outgunned by every other smg as long as you give them a chance

[bronze steeple]

[low timber]

I liked running around with subsonics and wrapped suppressor on the PBX on Valparaiso

[hexed mango]

what do subsonics do besides sound

[fiery shoal]

reduce range

[hexed mango]

so, negatives

[steady pewter]

[bronze steeple]

I prefer mp9 and k30 as smg and m5 as AR sfar and ak are oke i think bsv is overpowered but it eats bulletin you need to go as angel to keep cc mags full

[hidden sand]

Absolutely disgusting

[bronze steeple]

Bsv is a beast at Close range when you use it as smg

[hidden sand]

I'm definitely not going to use that now

[low timber]

Subsonics are unique as on some guns the only negative is the bullet velocity, and in some guns it also reduces damage on range, but on some guns the subsonics have better damage in range

[hexed mango]

all im hearing is that is sounds cool

[low timber]

Like on the G57 pistol the subsonics only downside versus the drum is the mag capacity

[fiery shoal]

is this up to date?

[low timber]

As the damage on range pretty much doubles with subs on G57

[fiery shoal]

wait, it has to be up to date because of the -5 in red was only added recently right?

[low timber]

What gun you looking?

[hexed mango]

i died due to death

[fiery shoal]

mp9, its just a screenshot online

[low timber]

Subs on MP9 and K30 aren’t exactly great due to the mag size

[fiery shoal]

im not asking for viability, just wondering if those are the pros and cons of subsonic rounds

[hidden sand]

The subsonics remove the directional hit indicator, right?

[knotty mountain]

Does anyone know how to fix insane mouse drifting?

on bf2042

[low timber]

The reload speed is only negative when comparing to the default mag, as even in extended then subs has faster

[fiery shoal]

not directly, but verify files through the launcher and redownload if that doesnt fix it

[low timber]

Only when paired with heavy suppressor, and on BSV-M supposedly.

But the removed direction is pretty much useless, as it just removes the arrow from the red damage indicator.

[hexed mango]

what suppressors are actually good. ive never really used them cause i didnt see their purpose

[tame cobalt]

Makes bullets invisible and hides muzzle flash

[lapis perch]

Oh, that's confirmed on BSV-M? Interesting.

[bronze steeple]

Use drums best mags

[hexed mango]

awwww did they patch flying on the drone?

[low timber]

Wrapped for only reduced velocity and 6KU for only reduced damage.

[bronze steeple]

Wrapped i use on mp9 and k30

[low timber]

Type 6 has better damage and PB has better velocity of the heavy ones.

[tame cobalt]

this should be written in the game

[low timber]

Also light suppressors only hide you beyond 20m while heavy ones hide you from all distances.

[lapis perch]

Technically it is, right? Look at the text and number changes.

[lapis perch]

[bronze steeple]

I switch sometimes between champion muzzle and wrapped supp on mp9 and k30

[hexed mango]

EMP really needs a buff

[obsidian elk]

I love the random sudden deaths

[low timber]

I think the EMP should shut down the electronics in sights, so the red part disappears for a moment, I think the original CoD MW2 EMP killstreak did that.

[bronze steeple]

U use champ muzzle @hexed mango ?

[obsidian elk]

If they were more common they would be a lot less funny

[hexed mango]

interesting.......

[hexed mango]

for what

[steady pewter]

vanta is right, certainly how it is

hes a good dude

[lapis perch]

They should have Revives In Smoke as a DAILY challenge, forever. People need to use smoke more, and they need to revive more

[steady pewter]

ok right i need to know im not insane- BSV-M is insanely overtuned right?

[bronze steeple]

Vert recoil

[fiery shoal]

its one of the few guns that i feel a bit cheap dying against

[bronze steeple]

On smg and AR?

I do

[hexed mango]

i have arcom

but yeah that's for vert

[lapis perch]

It's comically good, yes. However, I feel that should encourage tuning other weapons, not breaking this one.

[hexed mango]

arcom is for horizontal

[arctic grove]

agree

[fiery shoal]

why would you buff every other weapon instead of nerfing just one?

[steady pewter]

this

nerfs exist in game dev for a reason, its to make the exception fit the norm, not the reverse

[lapis perch]

Because I prefer improving things rather than turning enjoyable weapons into unenjoyable weapons.

[arctic grove]

one thing tho is the pp29 got nerfed and still feels really good, so as long as it isnt some omega nerf

[lapis perch]

I'm fine with that.

[hallow sierra]

i was about to say

[fiery shoal]

well ideally a nerf is not just making a gun suck... so 100% nerf a weapon vs buffing everything else

[carmine grail]

any good pilot here who wanna carry 3 people? 😉

[lapis perch]

I think it's also more important to discuss what makes the BVS "overtuned", specifically. Because it has a lot going on.

[carmine grail]

we give our best, promise

[obsidian elk]

Hack/emp effects only need better, clearer visual indicators

Its TTK is nigh impossible to beat using weapons in its same Marksman category

couldnt they just add five playlists on AOW

[fiery shoal]

just click one of these blue links to go there

[arctic grove]

svk is like 2 shots to kill and at actual DMR range you will surely get that kill first

[obsidian elk]

If you could see the vehicle sparking, it would help a lot with the lack of satisfying haptic feedback.

[arctic grove]

while using the svk

[hallow sierra]

and not four i want exposure BT

[carmine grail]

thank you!

[lapis perch]

That's not really a specific. In that context, we'd have to discuss the things that make TTK (damage, spread, rof, blah blah blah)
Not every single one of those needs nerfs.

[arctic grove]

bsvm does have an SMG type fire rate (with certain ammo and short barrel) so i guess we could begin looking there, then again its reduced out of dmr range and application

[tame cobalt]

Interesting how rush and breakthrough on exposure uses the same map sections but they go in opposite directions.

[fiery shoal]

id have to personally use the BVS to begin to talk about how to nerf it, but off the bat it just seems like its too reliable up close and at range

[wise zodiac]

@wary sleet. GOATED

[tame cobalt]

With attack and defence

[hexed mango]

Sam is best dev

Alex and Wilde are cool, but Sam is the GOAT

[bronze steeple]

Acom is Horizontal recoil right

You should use vert recoil instead

Better

[arctic grove]

i dont really use the horizontal recoil stuff

[low timber]

I’d play Rao more if the Hack would be more than just a glorified EMP against enemy gadgets. Like let me take the ownership of the enemy AT mines that I might find lying on the ground.

[fiery shoal]

heretic

[arctic grove]

or when i hack rangers/sentries make them blast their own teammates

[low timber]

As currently you just disable the AT mines for few second

[fiery shoal]

HREC reduction >>>>> VREC reduction

[lapis perch]

AT Mines are mechanical + chemically activated though. There's not electronics involved

[tame cobalt]

Why did the dm screenshots get deleted, i was enjoying reading it

[low timber]

Like you’d need to time your hack perfectly to disable the AT mines for your oblivious teammate not die to them

[arctic grove]

well now that we're talking about it i will def go try the hrec compensator

[wary sleet]

lol ty :) <3

[lapis perch]

Probably because it was the size of a small CVS receipt

[low timber]

It’s a video game, and you can already hack them.

[lapis perch]

It being a videogame doesn't instantly inherently mean there's no throughline of reason to game design though

Are you sponsored by them?

😂 I have a good memory!

[steady pewter]

im really looking forward to the Renewal changes, its gameplay sticks out like a sore thumb in Exodus Conquest

[bronze steeple]

Vrec is better right?

[arctic grove]

ahh i see, makes sense

[steady pewter]

why is Hrec-red better than Vrec-red?

[fiery shoal]

VREC is completely predictable, HREC isnt, so you can control any amount of VREC, you cant control HREC

[low timber]

Hrec has two directions, vrec has one.

[wary sleet]

Horizontal recoil is hard to predict which way it will bounce with certain weapons, it can jump left or right depending on the weapon.

Vertical is always up in the game, hence why HREC is the better option typically :)

[steady pewter]

smart

[steady pewter]

please make a gun that recoils downwards i beg you

[fiery shoal]

lol o god

[bronze steeple]

👆 you told me thats right

[tame cobalt]

[low timber]

Just hold it upside down

[wary sleet]

Haha, entertain me, what weapon would you make if you were to make a backwards recoiling weapon?!

[arctic grove]

i actually do know one gun that recoils down, its a sidearm tho

[steady pewter]

rocket launcher

[hexed mango]

so use Arcom over the Champion?

[fiery shoal]

thats why when people complained about the pp29 buff it was funny, all you had to dull was pull down slightly faster to compensate

[wary sleet]

Full auto rocket launcher, the game driving you toward blowing yourself up

[bronze steeple]

Other way around use champion for vrec

[steady pewter]

ultimate anticheat

[low timber]

What’s it called the 4 barreled rocket launcher?

[wise zodiac]

No. But I set up affiliations with 2 energy drink companies and a grilling company for my gaming org.

[arctic grove]

chiappa rhino actually recoils back into the hand/down

[hexed mango]

wait but isnt HREC harder to control? so you want to get rid of as much as possible?

[fiery shoal]

i have no idea the names of attachments, sorry

[low timber]

Would energy weapons have recoil?

[bronze steeple]

Vrec over hrec right @fiery shoal

[tame cobalt]

I'll just keep using crossbow while yall keep debating meta

[fiery shoal]

@hexed mango arcom since it gives more control to HREC, it increases VREC but that just means its less random from left to right and pulls up faster, so just pull down faster to compensate

[steady pewter]

why does my ADS sometimes break after using Lis's rocket?

[hexed mango]

ok yeah so i had it

[tame cobalt]

skill issue probably

[wary sleet]

ADS of the launcher itself? got a vid?

[modest ivy]

Am I the only one who've had the XP between BP points increase with more than 250 after a levelup?
like, it recently went from 10500 between points to 11500 immediately

[steady pewter]

of everytthing, lemme clip rq

[wary sleet]

DM me it ^^

[bronze steeple]

Champion over arcom right?

[hexed mango]

Nyphon literally just said the opposite

[fiery shoal]

between these two you want arcom

you always want to control HREC more

[lapis perch]

tbh, one new map is fine with me if they keep adding legacy maps to Exodus or fulltime AOW.

These old maps slap.

[bronze steeple]

Ow realy haha then i didnt understand it correctly first time

[mental delta]

Hey sorry to disturb, just want to ask if there's a mid-season update planned

[fiery shoal]

the wording is weird in regards to the image in 2042 since in 2042 it says + horizontal control, you arent actually increasing hrec

[wary sleet]

Hey sorry, I can't provide any info on that :( can only recommend watching socials and keeping eyes peeled there

[arctic grove]

honestly i'd be fine with the base maps just reworked like theyre being done now, i noticed especially how much kaleidoscope needs it while i was playing bt earlier

[fiery shoal]

• horizontal control = reduced horizontal recoil

you want reduced hrec

[bronze steeple]

👆

[steady pewter]

its gonna take a hot sec to trim because its a DVR clip but will send in a sec

[wary sleet]

Sure no rush :)

[bronze steeple]

Oke thanks again

[fiery shoal]

yea the + and - are more of a "pros vs cons" situation, not how the stats change

[mental delta]

Ok no problems, thanks for the answer I'll do that

[hexed mango]

ngl that kinda hints there will be something

[obsidian elk]

May you show your slider for that purple?

[arctic grove]

midseason update would be pretty cool, depends on what is planned for it, (if you are referring to a midseason content update)

[hexed mango]

sure

[lapis perch]

How do you recommend I peel my eyes

[hexed mango]

but the slider resets so

[tame cobalt]

My thumb isn't leet gamer enough to do recoil control

[steady pewter]

tater peeler

[tame cobalt]

While tracking enemy

[lapis perch]

Solid choice.

[arctic grove]

honestly why im considering going to pc in the future

[wary sleet]

Users choice!

[lapis perch]

xD

[magic harness]

Pls make console only cross play

[low timber]

Duct tape

[fiery shoal]

i assume it is harder to do with controller, this is in regards to using a mouse. no idea how hrec and vrec play with aim assist and controllers

[bronze steeple]

[gloomy wyvern]

Is EA aware that control mapping of all aircraft is bugged on console?

[hexed mango]

@obsidian elk its RGB: 139,75,237

[wary sleet]

Can you elaborate a bit more? As in you can't rebind it? Is it a specific setting, is it all of them etc? 🤔

[bronze steeple]

I change my weapons to arcom to see diff

[lapis perch]

I don't know if DICE knows this, but I NEED to see the old XM25 added to 2042.

[arctic grove]

oh yea that thing was pretty cool

[magic harness]

Also portal weapons to AOW even

[hexed mango]

that thing is a pain tho

[magic harness]

When

[hexed mango]

been done probably as we speak, probably wont see them for a few weeks tho

[lapis perch]

Then stay away from the edge of the roof

[magic harness]

Bruh

[arctic grove]

soon™️

darn it

messed it up

[magic harness]

Mid season update then

[hexed mango]

Soon™️

[hallow sierra]

see someone understand dats why i dont control recoil on controller

[tame cobalt]

Is EA aware that angel doesn't say his iconic lines anymore? Game ruined

[lapis perch]

[bronze steeple]

Good night i need to crash

[magic harness]

Is EA aware that we want 2043?

Not season 2

[tame cobalt]

We want both

[magic harness]

No

Hard line 2

[tame cobalt]

Yes

[arctic grove]

me personally id prefer just season to season content updates, not midseason content updates, its not as sustainable immediately for player retention but every season you can pull more content into the game

[magic harness]

Or 2043

Pick one

[arctic grove]

but its different for others and i get most people probably prefer a midseason update for extra stim to content

[obsidian elk]

Do you feel that adding a sparking visual effect to vehicles when hacked/EMP'd will help with lack of satisfying haptic feedback? I also feel like it would add satisfaction in the way of teamwork since the team will be able to readily see when you make a vehicle vulnerable.

[modest ivy]

I wanna add on to this, I tried mapping the some of the helicopter gunner abilities ([G] on PC), to some of my mouse buttons and whilst it is saved in the keybindings in the game, the abilities to not trigger when I click on the button I just mapped it to

[tame cobalt]

2043 developed while 2042 gets support

[fiery shoal]

well thats why tier lists between the two platforms/input methods should differ. another reason why crossplay and balancing between platforms is hell

[obsidian elk]

Is there a way to directly input the RGB code? I've only ever noticed the sliders

[magic harness]

Just add a server browser

That’s it

[tame cobalt]

No

[hexed mango]

the emoji is called drink tea, but that is 100% wine

[magic harness]

My guy I need it

Game is dead in Asia

[gloomy wyvern]

Unfortunately I won't be able to provide further details until later.

I can say pitch / lean & roll mapping to the L analog is bugged

[magic harness]

Can’t find console lobbies

[arctic grove]

i mean whats wrong with an aow server browser?

[magic harness]

Exactly

And it was there in past BFs

[wary sleet]

In general I feel the issue with EMP / Hacking is not about its gameplay effect, gameplay wise it's actually incredibly strong.. Disabling vehicle weaponry and countermeasures-- it doesn't need any tweaks there to become more useful, it's good enough.

The issue is like you highlight, it's primarily about the feedback you receive when you perform said action-- You EMP a vehicle.. The sense of "I did something! " could do with some extra polish :) it's more about feeling with these I believe.

[fiery shoal]

extreme scenarios where people dont play certain maps because they can just go to a server doing 24/7 or in a spot of rotation they prefer

[hexed mango]

unfortunately no, you'd literally have to sit there going through it
and since the slider resets on my side, i cant get a perfect visual

[wary sleet]

Ahh okay :o what mouse do you have? -- if you know which keybind it is on your mouse that'd be useful to know as well.. I can forward this to the team ^^

[tame cobalt]

Lol there's your issue. Turn cross play on. Playing againt pc isn't hard unless u got skill issue

[arctic grove]

ah i see

[magic harness]

Stfu will you ? Anything to excuse dead player bases

[fiery shoal]

still add it though, but its not like it doesnt come with its own set of drawbacks

[magic harness]

Or enable mnk support to console

[arctic grove]

right right

[tame cobalt]

I don't see the problem

[arctic grove]

mnk would be okay imo

[tame cobalt]

Lol

[fiery shoal]

i personally like to play "bad" maps from time to time just to experience them, and at least on the devs side it sucks to put work into maps that everyone just skips because they just want to keep playing "dust_2"

[low timber]

What even is the range of Rao hacking?

[modest ivy]

razer viper, both Mouse3 and Mouse4 won't bind to the heli gunner stuff (haven't tested any other vehicle binds with them)
they work normally when I bind them to my soldier gadgets though, so no issue there

[hexed mango]

like 50-100M or smth
i think it varies tho

[tame cobalt]

Rao is cool

[fiery shoal]

give rao a hacking gun that you have to aim/lead manually, but if you land your shot it instantly hacks

[obsidian elk]

Exactly, the visuals and feedback need the polish, not the gameplay effects. Do you think my suggestion could have some traction?

[tame cobalt]

[wary sleet]

Thank you, will forward it on!

[low timber]

You been playing Bioshock?

[hexed mango]

i love it when defense gets 3 vehicles and attack gets 6

[fiery shoal]

havent touched that game since launch

[arctic grove]

that really needs to change

[hexed mango]

which bioshock

[fiery shoal]

i just like the idea of giving weapons/gadgets alternatives that are harder to use but more rewarding

[tame cobalt]

Balance

[obsidian elk]

Good enough! Thanks morber

[modest ivy]

Also, you don't happen to know when BP point xp requirements starts to jump more than 250xp per point? 😇
currently at BP level 63, with all 4 weeks of missions completed, and it's been jumping with like 1000xp now

[magic harness]

Basically add a server browser, more maps like the new one and more weapons

That’s it

Ez number 1 played game

[tame cobalt]

The attack gets more probably because attack couldn't win with less on that section when they did playtesting

[lapis perch]

It's actually "dinktea" ;D

[wary sleet]

I can't commit to anything, but we hear you

[fiery shoal]

and add locked loadouts

[tame cobalt]

[hexed mango]

oh lol
but jenna still isnt drinking tea

[magic harness]

Why locked

[hexed mango]

no, boo locked loadouts

[tame cobalt]

no lel

[lapis perch]

HEAR ME, OH XM25 LORDS BLESS ME WITH YOUR FINELY RANGED EXPLOSIVES

[obsidian elk]

Understood. Thanks Sam.

[fiery shoal]

i prefer locked loadouts, its been a common occurrence in bf titles to so i think its more fitting to the series

[arctic grove]

Seems fair lmao

[wary sleet]

I sadly don't know a great deal about the BP personally :( sorry-- I don't work on that feature
Think I'm only level 40 or so in the BP in the live game 🤣 .. I've got catching up to do!

[lapis perch]

Well, true, but she's evoking the Kermit Drinking Tea meme (and the contexts in which you'd use it) 😛

[hexed mango]

that's actually on pace

[modest ivy]

Aight, thanks a ton anyway
really cool having you around answering questions in chat 😄

[fiery shoal]

i think having open loadouts and the freedom of choice for players just makes the game overall more boring

[wary sleet]

I guess we take those then!

[tame cobalt]

The best decision dice can eve5 make: design each map for 1 mode only

[lapis perch]

[hexed mango]

by the end of the week, i expect you to be at 50 tho

[violet meteor]

Only ever saw one xm25, 2011 when they only gave them to a few soldiers. Didn't even know what the hell it was at the time lol

[magic harness]

Bruh what

[hexed mango]

lmao

[wary sleet]

No worries
Any time! 😁 I try to pop in here when I can inbetween work pieces and such!

Thanks for playing this game <3

[violet meteor]

Looked like something out of starship troopers

[modest ivy]

I'm having fun 🙂

[arctic grove]

np, the work on it has been great

[lapis perch]

Yeah. Offshoot of the old OICW platform wasn't it?

[wary sleet]

Rest assured it means a lot to us hearing these comments, they don't go unnoticed / unfelt 😅

[tame cobalt]

Goatfield 2042

[hexed mango]

Samfield 2042

[fiery shoal]

in general it just leads to most people picking the most selfish items in each slot and little variety in weapons

[modest ivy]

anyhow, nightsies y'all
Imma take a shower

[hexed mango]

as long as Sam is working on the game, the game is amazing

[modest ivy]

been sweating too hard tonight

[low timber]

Sam so good they named a city after them, Vantaa

[arctic grove]

a gun that recoils diagonally in one of four random directions

[wary sleet]

😳 👉 👈

[tame cobalt]

Can sam tell us when temporyal will leak the next map

[fiery shoal]

at least with locked loadouts you are forced to use X gadgets and Y weapon types

[hexed mango]

[wary sleet]

Hopefully he wont leak anything! xD

[magic harness]

When is season 2 coming ?

[lapis perch]

DICE leaking community leaks is OP

[violet meteor]

Hell if I know. Made my puny 203 look bad tho

[magic harness]

September?

[tame cobalt]

Sept

[arctic grove]

when summer ends lol

seems like they'll do each irl season = each in-game season

[fiery shoal]

im always surprised when people are against locked loadouts like it hasnt been in every bf before 2042

[magic harness]

Season 2 4 maps and 5 weapons

[wary sleet]

That's definitely the way round it went!

[magic harness]

Copium

Pls pls

[arctic grove]

i'd be okay with even just 2 maps

[tame cobalt]

But exposure looks like fall season

Or does canada just have yellow trees in summer

[violet meteor]

I just 1v1'd someone on exposure rush. Surprisingly fun when you have 2 people to a whole map lol

[hexed mango]

that's canada ngl

[lapis perch]

XM25 was basically a standalone version of the XM29 which was outfitted as part of the OICW rifle platform AFAIK.

[arctic grove]

Why is it when I launch battlefield 2042 is freezes my pc screen why is that

[tame cobalt]

Skill issue

[violet meteor]

Update your skill

[magic harness]

Does a recoil control device work for controllers

[lapis perch]

New skill drivers

[magic harness]

Like an external plug ?

Gonna try one

[tame cobalt]

🤨

[hexed mango]

so close

[lapis perch]

[magic harness]

Gotta level the playing field somehow

Waiting for a console only cross play

Option

[hexed mango]

another week done

now time to cry because i cant play Exposure BT

[tame cobalt]

it's called not having a skill issue

[low timber]

I think I got 6/8 of mine from throwing the EMP grenade at the watch tower on C1 on Valparaiso Conquest. Or is it C2?

[wary sleet]

I have a question to ask actually, -- I see a lot of comparisons to BF4.. I'm wondering when it comes to gadgets and such..
BF4 had a lot of the same gadget, but in different flavours if you look at say the M26 / M320, same weapon.. just different projectile behaviour / detonation behaviour..

Do you like that sort of offering, or do you prefer things being a bit more unique?

It's a subjective question in that there's not really an objectively correct answer, but I'm curious :D

[wise zodiac]

Mortars would make me have loads of fun

[magic harness]

Don’t have 12 hours a day to play the game like the rest

[hexed mango]

i kinda dislike the mass gadgets in bf4 if im gonna be hoenst

[arctic grove]

i think in a more modern design sense the M26 can be one gadget and its slug, frag, dart, etc can be variants you choose in the loadout menu, same with the M320

[hexed mango]

specially the underbarrels

[edgy oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/sandy-let-it-rain-along-came-polly-basketball-philip-seymour-hoffman-gif-11159551

[violet meteor]

Honestly only ever used HE, but it's nice to have variety however much it's used.

[low timber]

I liked the amount of gadgets in BF4 even when there were lots of same with different ammo. Sure with plus menu you could cram them into one but then it could become too powerful.

[hexed mango]

i like that 2042 has the underbarrels as attachments on guns themselves

[tame cobalt]

not a fan of that bf4 style copy paste personally.

[arctic grove]

actually it would be pretty nice to instead just make those gadgets sort of customizable to change the behaviour of the weapon instead of making multiple weapons of that kind

[lapis perch]

I feel like those variants can be converted into 2042's Plus Menu. That said, I personally love having more options, so I love having all those in whatever form they may take in 2042 (Plus or individual). The availability of Utility is always interesting and cool.

[arctic grove]

those gadgets with the plus menu would be fine

more choice is always appreciated and we really need new content anyway

[low timber]

Like I think the only useless grenade launcher was the buckshot one as there was the M26 and the 3GL as it was just weak and couldn’t even break walls.

[magic harness]

Atleast 2042 doesn’t call variants of a gun different weapons lol

[lapis perch]

[wise zodiac]

Both.

[tame cobalt]

Too many options is a downside to me, especially when you don't have a clear idea what the individual purpose of each option is

[wise zodiac]

I personally don't like the plus menu

[hexed mango]

BF4 does have some good gadgets

[tame cobalt]

Plus menu is poggers

[arctic grove]

its pretty easy to tell though

[magic harness]

Ban

[lapis perch]

What weirds me out is how the current iteration of the Masterkey underbarrel buckshot performs differently based on what weapon it's on.... Despite being the same rig.

[low timber]

The decoy was great fun

[edgy oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/why-i-outta-you-cant-see-me-ouch-gif-13436680

[hexed mango]

but i dislike the oh here's this
and then here's this but with this
on and then here's this with this but not this
...

[magic harness]

Looks like a comprehension issue

[arctic grove]

i mean to new users maybe but after 700hrs into 4, (and even just reading their names) you can tell what the individual purposes are

[tame cobalt]

BF4 style bloated weapons list does nothing for me

[violet meteor]

I just go on bf4 to ram the ucav into people

[edgy oriole]

The only thing i dont like about the plus menu is that i cant removed things off of it

[arctic grove]

yea, sam, pls add option to remove things from plus menu

[lapis perch]

Bad Company 2's AN-94 (best version of it in the franchise hands down), and BF4's XM25. I need these in and around my body.

[wary sleet]

Thanks for all your views peeps! <3

[wary sleet]

Can forward the suggestion!

[lapis perch]

[wise zodiac]

I'm about practicality. You don't carry 15 optics in your pocket. You carry the one on your rifle.

You can have a BUIS/hybrid optic. There's no need for 30 optics or handguards.

[lapis perch]

Oh god, yes please. Really only for us weirdos though tbf.

[wise zodiac]

The plus menu is not practical, imo.

[magic harness]

It’s a video game 💀

[edgy oriole]

Oh yeah ive been playing paik pretty extensively and she is a good one now i feel. very aggressive and super easy to get max ribbons.

[hexed mango]

sam, you should try to get someone to add a levelution in the next map

[lapis perch]

It's fun. That's good enough for me. Doesn't need to be realistic.

[tame cobalt]

It is practical
In the video game

[hallow sierra]

ah a fellow paik user

[wise zodiac]

Okay? And? I don't like it. I can have an opinion, you know.

[hidden sand]

Unique is generally better, but at the same time having a lot of choice is nice to have.

[arctic grove]

a levolution or weather event would be cool, i feel like if we get a maritime/amphibious map a tsunami could flood areas of the map and stuff

[wary sleet]

"Get someone" -- it takes much more than one person to perform such a monstrous task! haha :D

[hexed mango]

lmao

[lapis perch]

Imagine if Exposure's Levelution was the landslide /gasm

[wary sleet]

Good to hear your view, thank you! :D

[low timber]

I do miss levolutions.

[hexed mango]

that'd be epic

[magic harness]

Volcanos and earthquakes pls

[arctic grove]

i'd also be fine with the maps being designed after a theoretical levolution event though, like exposure

[tame cobalt]

Don't add levelution it's not worth it

[edgy oriole]

blink once for blizzard on breakaway blink twice for none.

[hexed mango]

👉 👈

[magic harness]

And tsunamis

Imagine that

Damn

[hexed mango]

Floodgate PT2

[arctic grove]

exposure is designed around a post landslide instead of it being an actual event which i think is really cool and can serve as a replacement to in game events

[lapis perch]

Add a Levelution that causes an eruption of AN94s and XM25s

[violet meteor]

🏈

[hexed mango]

🏃‍♂️💨

[magic harness]

That requires work

[low timber]

Btw, the repair tool gadget, if I’m holding it and I ping a damaged tank, why am I saying I need a pick up and not offer repairs

[violet meteor]

✋ 🏈

[lapis perch]

[arctic grove]

like for example, 2042 could have a map post levolution for something like a tsunami and it could be like bf4s flood zone

[wary sleet]

Noted :D

[magic harness]

What happened to the levolutions tho

I remember readin there were many

[hexed mango]

joe took them

[arctic grove]

i think theres gonna be work period wether you design the maps around weather events or include them in the game (you kinda waste resources if theyre like the tornadoes and dont visually change much)

[gentle bobcat]

Guys, anyone knows what game mode will be tomorrow? In friday night?

[hexed mango]

no..

that's kinda the point of FNB

[gentle bobcat]

Conquest, tdm, rush..?

[hexed mango]

you'll see tomorrow

on friday

[gentle bobcat]

Oh ok thx

👏🏻

[magic harness]

Yes it’s touch grass mode

[wary sleet]

Fun question-- out of every single Battlefield title that ever existed.. what's the one feature you'll forever hold onto as your favourite? 😁
Literally anything..

Mine is airlifting vehicles in BF Vietnam, lifting up tanks and flying them across the map 🤤

[arctic grove]

good question

[wise zodiac]

AIR CAVALRY IN BF VIETNAM.

[arctic grove]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[wary sleet]

The radio + dogfighting, many laughs were had xD

[arctic grove]

What is a skill issue?

[low timber]

BF4 uncap spotting, spotted all enemies and their gadgets (not aircraft) that were in the opposite team uncap or few meters outside of it.

[magic harness]

Mine is server browser

[edgy oriole]

I mean i wouldnt mind reinforcements from bfv to be a permanent thing if thats what you are asking.

[hexed mango]

honestly exposure rush > exposure BT

[hexed mango]

cough Rush and cough TDM in Aow

[obsidian elk]

Personal preference; I prefer a single gadget that I can modify. But I still enjoy having lots of gadgets too.

For example, if it shoots a projectile, I would like to be able to customize whether or not it bounces or explodes on impact.

This is actually the issue I have with the under barrel incendiary. It bounces so harshly and is difficult to control. At the same time, I understand that something being hard to control is part of how we keep them balanced to play against.

[low timber]

I guess I need to give it a go then.

[edgy oriole]

but my fav thing in all battlefields is killing someone with repair in bad company

[tame cobalt]

Manifest cq128 b sector (the hill) does not offer enough reward for the resources it takes to capture/hold it, so the team holding it tends to lose cuz the other team holds the other objectives, making it useless to go for it, idk if this can be fixed but it's just something i noticed...

[wise zodiac]

... give me mortars, the radio system & Hueys from Battlefield Vietnam.

That's all I want. Give me that and we are set.

[hexed mango]

baguette

[arctic grove]

What is a skill issue?

[magic harness]

Damn forgot about mortars

[hidden sand]

Offline Support and Official Level Editing tools. That's two things, but I miss them a lot.

[magic harness]

Hopefully a bunch of gadgets are coming

[lapis perch]

an issue with skill, what else would it be?

[arctic grove]

4 has a lot of gadgets that i think could come over to 2042 for more choices

[magic harness]

I miss the campaign too lmao

[hexed mango]

campaign is cool, but i can live without it

[tame cobalt]

AA mine

[arctic grove]

remember 4s controllable drone thingy with the MG?

[magic harness]

Fine with no campaign too

[wise zodiac]

Oh, shit, that reminds me, @wary sleet, can we add a building system to 2042? I miss that mechanic from V.

[magic harness]

But give more content instead

[arctic grove]

its not my most favorite but i agree, a building/fortification system would be cool

[hexed mango]

eh i dont miss that

[arctic grove]

i dont even really have a favorite mechanic but theres some that are cool

thats def one of them

[edgy oriole]

also iwo jima my fav thing battlefield ever made.

[wise zodiac]

Being able to build a sandbag wall or hesco barriers would be nice.

[obsidian elk]

I'm excited for more ground based AI drones like Ranger. They could be ammo/med runners, or EMP spammers

[lapis perch]

I think the fortification system from V was a compelling addition to the franchise tbh

[pine roost]

I just like lots of small mechanics bundled into one whole package

[hexed mango]

aka what irish does

[lapis perch]

YES PLEASE.

[lofty marlin]

So I'm doing my loadouts on console and there not saving and how do you adjust deadzone?

[magic harness]

[hidden sand]

Fortifications make terrain deformation impossible, and I'd rather have terrain deformation, kek.

[arctic grove]

AA mine was a cool gadget but i never really saw it used myself, regardless its def still a good choice since theres a lot of low-flying aircraft in 2042

[low timber]

I swear Irish shield needs one way glass, so many times just sniped the enemy Irish as I know where they will peek next and vice versa.

[wise zodiac]

I would love to have Squads building mechanic.

[arctic grove]

hm good point

[wise zodiac]

Or give me a tool, aka shovel, where I can terraform the terrain and create a trench or build sandbag walls.

[wary sleet]

You know I can't commit to anything! 👀
personal note, I did enjoy that feature myself in V!

[wise zodiac]

FORTIFICATION SYSTEM RETURNING CONFIRMED.

[hexed mango]

i forgot how fun rush is

[wise zodiac]

Lmao

[wary sleet]

Pfffttttt

[low timber]

Adding that to the repair torch could probably get more people to equip it

I also just want to say that I love it when the devs use reaction emojis. It's a quick and easy way to inform us that you've noticed our input. It shows that you care about making sure we know that we are heard.

I appreciate it.

[arctic grove]

i feel like this is already a work in progress thing, but is it plausible we can get leaning as a feature in 2042? also the ability to move around while prone and ADS?

[hexed mango]

Rush really flexes the superior infantry combat in this game ngl
without vehicles, its fun in CQC.

[wise zodiac]

Lmfao

[hidden sand]

@wary sleet Do you know if the minimal terrain deformation is deliberate for performance, or just what was settled on for now?

[lapis perch]

Trepanation

[hexed mango]

100% carry
100% skill
0% luck

[wise zodiac]

Oh shit.. that has me thinking about Halo's Forge mode.

OH NO, BETTER YET....

Far Cry's map creator.

[wary sleet]

Sadly I don't know, I make things go boom, but destruction is handled by a different feature team that we work with

[edgy oriole]

far cry map creator was prolly the best

[low timber]

Far cry 5 where Danny recreated Noshahr Canals TDM?

[obsidian elk]

If Irish shield was one way glass it would be the single most infuriating thing in the game

[arctic grove]

i notice that youre not able to move around while you are ADS and in prone, which is something that was in past installments, also, leaning would come in handy when youre on a good defensive or offensive position

[hexed mango]

when you getting on

[hidden sand]

Alright, thanks for answering 👌

[low timber]

How come?

[arctic grove]

practice, dedication, theory also known as guides on youtube, also potentially changing settings because they may help too, especially fov and sensitivity stuff

[wise zodiac]

I didn't play FC5, so I'm not sure.

[lapis perch]

Speaking of things going boom, you know I heard about this one thing in Battlefield 4 called an XM-25...

[edgy oriole]

Im checking steam summer sale to see if they added or changed anything

[hidden sand]

Better yet, just let us use the FrostyEd they have for level editing.

[pine roost]

I for one hardly ever use lean, unless it’s the peeking over waist high cover, I just position myself by a corner and move myself and it works fine

[wary sleet]

Oh did you now?!

[hexed mango]

I also heard of this thing called a claymore

[wise zodiac]

Speaking of things that go boom, I heard of this one thing called more tars, I believe?

[wary sleet]

Sorry I've only heard of mortars, not more tars 🤔

[low timber]

Which kind? BC2 or BF3?

[arctic grove]

When I launch battlefield for 2 seconds is freezes and I have to restart my computer

[wise zodiac]

[arctic grove]

im not sure what its called exactly, but instead of having to do that, you could just have the ability to just slightly aim over things like boxes like in 4, also, leaning yeah its indeed pretty situational, but minimizing how much you appear while being able to shoot is still important

[lapis perch]

Ah yes...

[wise zodiac]

I loved BF4s mortar system, with the little command pad.

[tame cobalt]

A pretty awesome feature is clearly communicated XP bonus for following squad orders, and automatically changing squad leader when one refuses to give order but also... The glorious Chauchat in BFV

[lapis perch]

I miss BF3's Commander mode being playable from a tablet while I made dinner in the kitchen lmao

[low timber]

I think BF3’s was better, even had an alternative ammo

[hidden sand]

Mortars are bad and I'm glad they're gone

[low timber]

BF4

[arctic grove]

PIAT from BF5 was also pretty good as a sort of mortar

[wise zodiac]

Oh, I would also love RSP to return & Commander Mode would be cool too..

[arctic grove]

the thing with mortars are they arent very effective if your target is moving, so as long as you do that theyre fine and wouldnt be too intrusive to gameplay

however,

on objectives with no overhead cover i can see a problem

[hidden sand]

Mortars on BF3 were absolute pain on Damavand. You could get to so many spots where you were unreachable and blast away.

[lapis perch]

Yeah, accidentally hit 3 instead :v

[wise zodiac]

People don't know you can utilize the mortars offensively AND defensively.

[lapis perch]

Just let me directlay mortars like I can IRL

[wise zodiac]

11C?!?!

[pine roost]

Mortars just feel cheap, just click in the general area and get kills here and there. However I can see their application being useful against people who hold a position for too long and don’t reposition at all

[wise zodiac]

PIAT was cool, but a bit too limited in distance.

[low timber]

The BF4 mortar wasn’t used much, but BF3 was used a lot before Dice nerfed the places you could place it down. But BF1’s were the most horrendous, gave you a free birds eye view of where the shell landed which people then used for intelligence.

[arctic grove]

i never got a kill with my first mortar unless my target already happened to be low hp

it always took 2, and after the 1st almost everyone would move

[wise zodiac]

Hated BF1, never really played it.

[lapis perch]

Close ;P

[low timber]

Same, got about 60h of playtime

[wise zodiac]

BF4s mortar was dope. I loved it. Used it every time I played support.

[lapis perch]

Basically same.

[wise zodiac]

Marine or Army?

[arctic grove]

it was very fun against snipers on locker

[lapis perch]

Unless I was using the XM25

[low timber]

I was more of a UCAV main

[wise zodiac]

XM25 was a dick move. Lol

[arctic grove]

lol most servers banned UCAV, it was really good though

[wise zodiac]

UCAV.

[arctic grove]

xm25 with airburst down hallways in locker was super satisfying too

[wise zodiac]

No no, that was annoying.

[hidden sand]

The UCAV was at least difficult to fly

[hexed mango]

@edgy oriole you tryna do missions

[pine roost]

I use the xm for smoke

[violet meteor]

I'm the ucav guru

[arctic grove]

yeah it made pushing an absolute pain, only fun for when you were dishing it out lol

[hidden sand]

I never got to mad from dying because of it

[violet meteor]

Don't forget it

[low timber]

Tbh, on Console I almost never saw anyone else use it but me, like I literally have died to a UCAV only twice.

[wise zodiac]

Thats exactly why I used mortars and frag shotgun rounds.

I made people mad with the frag rounds lmao

[violet meteor]

Lies

[arctic grove]

imagine frag shotgun rounds

... in 2042

[wise zodiac]

Hate mail for days

[wise zodiac]

Oh god no

Flechette rounds.

Lmao

[violet meteor]

They hated you for different reasons

[low timber]

And both times it was when we got trapped in our uncap on Dawn breaker and maybe Hainan resort.

[edgy oriole]

We can do whatever. from what i saw the missions are a joke. lol

[lapis perch]

Former Army. 11B1P w/82d Airborne. Shoutout the 505th, participants in some of these 1942 map/battles

[arctic grove]

that would definitely have to be like some sort of pickup or something in this game lol

[violet meteor]

If you're not gonna use a ucav to ram people idk what to tell ya

[wise zodiac]

11B also if you couldn't tell. 1/5 Cav. =3

[lapis perch]

I can't imagine. Can you imagine? I can't imagine.

[violet meteor]

19d here woot woot

2-34 armor outta fort riley

And to think. I almost got sent to Alaska

[wise zodiac]

... I knew you were a cav scout.

[lapis perch]

I earned honorary golden spurs from working with a cav unit on one of my deployments

[wise zodiac]

[wise zodiac]

Spur rides are dumb. But the blue chord lasts forever. 💙

[lapis perch]

ATW

[violet meteor]

Well, former cav scout anyway

That was long ago

[violet meteor]

You didn't know shit because I didn't tell you

Now do push-ups until I get tired

[wise zodiac]

Oh, I knew. Infantry can always tell.

[violet meteor]

Gross

[wise zodiac]

And, uh, no.

[violet meteor]

It was great, they even gave me a rifle

🤷‍♂️ 🤠

[lapis perch]

It wasn't a spur ride though, the honorary goldens were from our platoon's assistance with 5-73 during combat operations in a particularly ferocious period of the Diyala campaign. I know it's corny, but I always thought it was cool that I could technically formally wear them since it was officially awarded to us, despite being 11B haha

[violet meteor]

You would really shake people up wearing the spurs and cord together lol

[lapis perch]

lmao

[violet meteor]

We gave some to our sniper attachment

[wise zodiac]

That's why 1CD and cav units are shit. Lmao

[lapis perch]

xD

[wise zodiac]

I was 1CD down at Hood. In a combined arms unit. Mixture of Bradley's, Abrams and such.

[violet meteor]

Gross fort hood

[wise zodiac]

Yep.

[violet meteor]

One visit there to see a friend was enough

[lapis perch]

I always got love for them. Our unit integrated them a lot in our deployments, and we had a particularly tragic experience with our Reaper team https://spectator.org/44593_longest-morning/

[wise zodiac]

Wasn't bad tho, I was 2 hours from my house in Fort Worth.

So, I drove up to Dallas every weekend.

Lol

[drowsy shuttle]

anyone feels like the textures or some menus takes like 1second to load sometimes, recently? maybe like from 1 week ago...

[violet meteor]

Then again they purposely build bases in the shittiest parts of the country try to keep soldiers out of trouble. Doesn't work well but yeah

I was in a combined arms battalion so it was a solid mix of everything

[wise zodiac]

Except Killeen is trash

Lmao

[stoic ferry]

At some places some times yea. Might be the new gpu driver

[wise zodiac]

Chat ded.

[drowsy shuttle]

im running an old driver, cause for what i've read the most recent ones were not worth the update... so i dunno if its related with that... but anyway i'll check about the new one

[vocal adder]

Man i can't the BSV i feel so wrong for using it come on Dice please nerf this its crazy

[hexed mango]

just get better against it.

🧠

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah i stop using it, and now im using scar otherwise is boring af...

[vocal adder]

Read it again mate i'm the one using it and feel wrong for using because its op

[hexed mango]

yeah, dont.

[thorn helm]

INTERNATIONAL DT466B DIESEL ENGINE

[hidden sand]

The BSV is super tedious on last gen because of the aim assist

And the input delay

[vocal adder]

Hey guys is the servers messing up tonight for you guys ?

[hexed mango]

nope

[vocal adder]

Strange might just be my internet then

[drowsy shuttle]

servers are janky yes..

[soft swallow]

What's this the Battlefield drone dog?

[drowsy shuttle]

sometimes my shots don't register

[lapis perch]

You've earned your rep today, notepads.

[hexed mango]

lmao look at all those kills

[lapis perch]

[wanton magnet]

Felt like it. I shot someone 5 times with the 870 and all I got was the cool sign. This was close range. And dying behind walls, that happens too.

[runic vortex]

Isn’t Angel supposed to give revived players armor?

[hallow sierra]

not any more

[runic vortex]

Why not

[hexed mango]

im pretty sure he still does, just no armor from his crate

[runic vortex]

I haven’t gotten armor at all when being revived by them, nor when i revive people do they have armor

[gloomy wyvern]

They got rid of Full ammo?! -_-

[gloomy wyvern]

You don't realize you get it because they dropped it down to 5 armor

[hexed mango]

wdym

[lilac dust]

Yoooo they added exposure rush 24/7 let's goooooooo

[hexed mango]

indeed

[arctic grove]

When I launch battlefield for 2 seconds is freezes and I have to restart my computer

[lapis perch]

CMV: Removing Sundance's EMP was a downgrade

[hexed mango]

according to sam, it was a technical limitation

[lapis perch]

Yeah, well what does Sam know!?

[hexed mango]

he's a dev

[lapis perch]

Yeah, well what does Sam the dev know!?

[edgy oriole]

that it was a technical limitation

[lapis perch]

Yeah, well what does Sam the dev stating that it was a technical limitation know!?

To be fair, I didn't ask for the reason.

I said removing it was a downgrade.

[violet meteor]

[hexed mango]

yes, but actually no

[lilac dust]

I feel the same way about making the wingsuit go 0mph in the air when jumping off small heights

[thorn helm]

AMCa602

[soft swallow]

YES! ANGEL DOES IT AGAIN

[hexed mango]

EZ carry no cap

McKay more like McDaddy

[placid echo]

I just found out that EMP-Grenades unlock doors

[hexed mango]

they're basically the same as rao

[mental delta]

[hexed mango]

or rao is the same as them. depends on what perspective you got

[placid echo]

It shows how little I use EMP grenades lol

I only used one because of one of the challenges

[mental delta]

Never used them a single time

[placid echo]

I did get a nice flank because of it

[mental delta]

Idk how to throw grenades

[placid echo]

https://streamable.com/0b8vd0

[mental delta]

Nerf that shit

[tranquil turtle]

poo poo aim 🤝

it's happened to us all

[hallow sierra]

hes on controller so theres nth he can do to his aim

[placid echo]

I am also used to keyboard and mouse lol

[hallow sierra]

why u playing on controller when u have keyboard and mouse

[fiery shoal]

nice, do you think the BSV is op?

[thorn helm]

Zinc sulfide

[hallow sierra]

no cuz my aim is trash on controller so i cant hit dat much shots

[placid echo]

In the range of the other guns, maybe not?

The K30 or MP9 would've done a lot better in that situation imo

[thorn helm]

and it is used as a window for visible optics and infrared optics

[placid echo]

It's good for medium-long distances

[fiery shoal]

of course, but i feel like its not far behind them up close, while absolutely being better than them at range

i should start a rating scale for weapons..

1-10 at close,medium, and far range, and rank them for ease of use vs pay off

[placid echo]

It's easy to use, I'll give it that

[thorn helm]

Copper-doped zinc sulfide ("ZnS plus Cu") is used also in electroluminescent panels

[hidden sand]

Barely anyone is using the BSV on last gen. Wonder why.

[fiery shoal]

i have a new theory that high VREC weapons are not like on console

is BSV high VREC?

[placid echo]

Console has lower recoil values

At least that's what it feels like. I could do some testing with portal since I own it on PC and Xbox.

[fiery shoal]

does it actually have lower values or is that because of AA it feels like it?

[placid echo]

I don't use AA and iirc, a user here said there was and they were behind sym.gg or at least claimed to be.

[hexed mango]

bro.

[placid echo]

THE WORST

[thorn helm]

Luminescent material
Zinc sulfide,

Ples add glow in the dark camo

[fiery shoal]

didnt know that, i figured they might have been different for BFV but not 2042 since its crossplay

[lilac dust]

Wait have you always not needed to hold down a button to hack something with rao? 😮

[hidden sand]

If anything AA makes it seem like there's more, in my experience.

[lilac dust]

Have I been holding down a button I assumed would hack and it's just a placebo.....

[fiery shoal]

that doesnt make sense though, especially if the "stick" is strong it should "reduce" HREC and VREC

[hidden sand]

Usually, the AA is causing my aim to almost feel like it's "stuck" until I move away from players.

Makes controlling recoil super wonky.

[hexed mango]

12M on rush exposure = goated

[fiery shoal]

i wouldnt like it for consistency sake, but i feel like it should "shave" off some recoil values if that makes sense

[hidden sand]

It definitely doesn't, not at the moment at least.

Though I wouldn't want it to anyway.

All AA is supposed to do (I don't use snap) is slowdown when hovering over an enemy.

[placid echo]

12M is pretty powerful

[hidden sand]

It becomes stuck in molasses when doing that rn.

[stoic ferry]

All of the specialist are super ez to get t1 on the new map

[placid echo]

Mostly because a lot of people stick together around the C1 objective

[stoic ferry]

I had to drag trough the pain of Sundance and Irish before this map

[placid echo]

Boris has become a lot bigger of a pain to Tier 1 because of his nerf. I never used him before but the turret cannot kill a beginner level bot.

Unless you use smoke

[hidden sand]

They should do away with the sentry and give him something else, imo.

[stoic ferry]

Ye glad i did that one before the nerf. Sundance is alot more ez now tho

[hidden sand]

Sentries really don't belong in BF, imo.

[lilac dust]

When you get #1 at something major and don't show up on the end screen 😢

[placid echo]

Sundance T1 is easier because their grenades actually track vehicles you meant to throw it at now.

Instead of the jet at the sky ceiling

[stoic ferry]

Tho my biggest multi kill with Sundance was on old build. Manifest. 11 killed with two nades

[hidden sand]

Maybe a better repair tool that can fix damaged parts and repair quicker.

[obsidian elk]

Every time I read your username I get this mental image of a raptor with night vision goggles

[placid echo]

hehe

[stoic ferry]

Now I have to struggle with the new one. It's alot of killes with that tv missile

[placid echo]

I will say, tomorrow my profile picture will change.

[last swift]

Ranger 🤔

[obsidian elk]

I enjoy them as a method of fortification.

[placid echo]

imo, if Boris's turret was remote controlled instead of a sentry, I'd like it more

[obsidian elk]

This was meant in response to Suika.

My phone is buggy.

[lilac dust]

Lmao I was so confused for a moment
