battlefield-2042

[mossy badge]

I never expected good graphics from Bethesda and they delivered better than my expectations

[hexed mango]

i havent been paying attention to starfield, but i might try it out ig

[winter vault]

Yea looks good and I want to build spaceships

[mossy badge]

I want to see earth in starfield and want to make home in mars

[fossil trench]

Skyrim came out so long ago that an entire new generation is playing games. They’re like “Starfield’s gameplay looks clunky” and I’m like “Never played Skyrim?”

[lapis perch]

If Starfield is Fallout/Skyrim mechanics except scifi spacey I'm still big down ngl

[hexed mango]

Mothership Zeta moment

[winter vault]

Skyrim is the shit

[hexed mango]

Skyrim is amazing

I just wish bethesda didnt make the VR version of it and Fo4 a separate game entirely

and i heard they arent that good in vr

[fossil trench]

Skyrim VR more like Skyrim Potato Edition with headaches

[hexed mango]

lol

[winter vault]

I hope bethesda sticks to what they’re good at, eso and 76 both flopped hard

[hexed mango]

true, but like i said earlier, there's a lot of content in 76 that is really good. like story wise, ingame content, etc

[fossil trench]

Who will win? Todd and his lies? Or Microsoft QA standards? FIGHT!

[hexed mango]

lmao

Todd more like Toad

Toad Howard

[fossil trench]

I really want to see what breaks first

[hexed mango]

im just glad microsoft doesnt like force all games to be loaded through xbox on windows.

[fossil trench]

Maybe Bethesda will release its first playable game at launch

🤷‍♂️

[hexed mango]

https://tenor.com/5aUk.gif

[arctic grove]

next bf game better be playable at launch

[lapis perch]

i just puked in my mouth

[hexed mango]

[haughty cipher]

I want solution , our servers region not very time can found players but in eu i can found easily but cant join that servers

[hexed mango]

what

[haughty cipher]

GCC servers very poor

[thorn helm]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauliodinae

[hexed mango]

ok.

what

[lapis perch]

it's lawless out here

[hexed mango]

nah that's just gregor

[worldly bison]

everytime i press play it counts down then goes blackscreen then boots me back to the lobby

how do i fix that

[sweet barn]

[tame cobalt]

Damn that's an ugly dog

[haughty cipher]

baliw 😄

[tame cobalt]

I hope breakthrough will be in portal when kaleido rework drops

So i could actually play the breakthrough version of it with other people in my region

[fossil trench]

When does that drop?

[haughty cipher]

i hope we can found players bro

[hexed mango]

july-august sometime then

[fossil trench]

I hope it’s genuinely substantial

Though tbh I think other maps needed reworks more

[tame cobalt]

The kaleido rework seems moreso targeted at fixing it for breakthrough than cq

[fossil trench]

Discarded literally flat earth walking simulator

One inch of cover per 100 meters

[tame cobalt]

Discarded good

Cope

[fossil trench]

I guess you don’t like cover lol

[tame cobalt]

I guess you like being in the areas without cover

[fossil trench]

Like a normal person

[tame cobalt]

Normal people don't know how to play the masterpiece discarded

[tame cobalt]

Which mode do u play it

[fossil trench]

Conquest

[tame cobalt]

Pog

[fossil trench]

I’m literally walking 75% of the time

[tame cobalt]

I don't

[fossil trench]

And if I’m being shot at, I’m dead because cover is literally nonexistent

[tame cobalt]

Just gotta adapt breh

[marble wing]

If you do all the missions of season 1 is it enough to get T1? Or do you need to get a ton of the additional individual points through xp?

[fossil trench]

I guess I need a better gaming chair or something

[tame cobalt]

Perhaps

[shy bronze]

Any updates

[fossil trench]

#game-news

[obsidian elk]

GOD yes.

Straatford just confirmed on the forums yesterday that they are looking at what to do about the 50mm condor/hind and details will be in upcoming Update Notes.

Fucking finally

but it was too late to save Exposure Breakthrough

Still, objectively better game incoming

the game has definitely been on an upward trend in terms of quality

I'm proud

[fossil trench]

Bruh so many things in this game are so inconsistent or unbalanced

Unbalanced meaning way too weak most of the time

[fossil trench]

Like the bolte 20 mm compared to the Hind 50 mm. Despite a much smaller caliber it shoots slower and has a more frequent cooldown

[marble wing]

I wish they added a console-only (XSX n PS5) cross-play queue. When I'm playing with PC players, I'm always paranoid about the cheating... it's happening so much in any PC multiplayer games... even Forza Horizon 5 has hacker issues and that game isn't super competitive

[fossil trench]

Like how tf does this make sense

DICE balances these vehicles without thinking if it’s consistent with the rest of the game or not

[hexed mango]

@tame cobalt

[hexed mango]

tbh Rush is better

(in portal, 24/7 Rush Exposure)

[obsidian elk]

I thought we already had the discussion of "just because it's not realistic doesn't mean it needs to be changed"

It's all for balance reasons

[fossil trench]

It’s not a discussion about it being realistic or not

Has zero to do with it

[obsidian elk]

It shoots slower "even though it's a smaller caliber" because caliber in this game is literally just a label

[fossil trench]

It’s about the game playing consistently

[obsidian elk]

No. That's not your problem.

You cited your issue as the 20mm shooting slower than the 50mm.

Despite the difference in caliber.

I said the reason why that is, is because of balance, and the caliber is literally just a name

It's inconsistent to you because you're focusing on the wrong aspects.

[fossil trench]

Bruh must you argue with every word I say?

At least try to pretend you know I’m speaking coherently

You know what I’m talking about lmfao

[fossil trench]

Also I don’t recall this conversation

[bronze steeple]

[magic harness]

https://twitter.com/ea/status/1542652454159798272?s=21&t=HGJqEdv0G308wvqEcCIdiA

Who thought this was a good idea

Lol

[ocean isle]

Which smg is better

k30 mastery is 63 so I’m am grinding another smg to tier 1

[limpid kindle]

MP9

[ocean isle]

Got tier 1 already

[limpid kindle]

oh ok

[ocean isle]

Which is better

Pp29 or pbx45

[limpid kindle]

Def pp29

[ocean isle]

Is the damage good

[low timber]

I believe it’s a two shot headshot.

Yup, up to 20m it is two shot head shot.

[bronze steeple]

Pp29

Imo k30 and mp9 best smg and best AR m5 and bsv great too

Pp29 is good too and sfar and ak24 are good aswell but less firerate

[full burrow]

I play ak and the first dmr

[obsidian elk]

I've been like, passively getting Mackay's tier 1 while normally playing the game, lol

[full burrow]

I unlocked the acw but I odnt like burst fire

havnt tried smgs, dont know if I have them all unlocked

[bronze steeple]

K30 and mp9 are great i dont like burst fire too

[full burrow]

I die to k30 quite a bit I want to try that

[bronze steeple]

Its very good at Close range

[full burrow]

is the masterkey attachment any good here?

[bronze steeple]

The what?

[tepid agate]

Is it usually every 3-4 years a new battlefield game gets dropped?

[full burrow]

shotgun underbarrel

I guess so yeah, but this one wasnt dropped it was kicked in the head down the stairs

[tepid agate]

😂

[full burrow]

"kick the baby"

[tepid agate]

I think next year is too soon to wish for a new one but hopefully in 2024. But that's seems so far away

Quite sad to see that after 3 weeks since their live service season 1 drop, player numbers have already dropped below BF1. I don't know how they will truly turn it around

[bronze steeple]

Bf v and 2042 was like 3 years in between

Release november 2018 and nov 2021

[arctic grove]

bf bc came out in 2008, bf bc2 came out in 2010, bf3 in 2011, bf4 in 2013, bf hl in 2015, bf1 in 2016, bf5 in 2018, so yeah pretty much 1-2 years gap between them most of the time

[tepid agate]

Sounds good to me if they are consistent with that! Just want them to hurry through this 1 year live service

[arctic grove]

that's the issue though, they make games in one or two years and because of that we often get really unfinished stuff, as example bf4, bf5, bf2042

they all (well, except bf2042 currently) were pretty much fixed later, but were released in a bad state

[tepid agate]

Yes I know I played them since BF4 so know the launch stats. Hope they go back to their classes formula after this 2042 experiment.

[bronze steeple]

Bf2042 rocks dude if you think ot doesnt you just cant aim prob

[arctic grove]

what lmao

[tepid agate]

I've put in hundreds of hours. Got all specialist to mastery expect dozer and Liz. Quite tired of it

[bronze steeple]

Thats something else thought you dislike it

[bronze steeple]

Grumm it does beginning was buggy but now best game

[tepid agate]

More players are playing bfv and bf1

[bronze steeple]

Bf v was good 2042 is great now imo

[arctic grove]

specialists and vehicle balance are still here and are as they were though

and these are the things that most people don't like

[tepid agate]

To be honest, I was expecting 2042 to maintain a higher player count than BF1 after season 1. It spiked but dropped again

[bronze steeple]

Guys that are afraid of changes

[tepid agate]

If something's working don't change it

[bronze steeple]

I always have 64 vs 64 most time in conquest you dont hear me complain about player counts

[hexed mango]

no

skill issue

[tepid agate]

This is for their micro transaction plans. No it's began but I ain't paying lol

[arctic grove]

12k on BFV, 6k on BF1, 4.5k on BF2042 currently

rip

[bronze steeple]

[hexed mango]

what can i say

[tepid agate]

😂

[bronze steeple]

Its treu skill issues

[hexed mango]

[bronze steeple]

Some players must accept they just suck balls

[arctic grove]

if you consider not liking the specialist system, lack of content and vehicle balance a skill issue then all your points are pretty much meaningless lol

[bronze steeple]

I didnt touched bf v anymore since release 2042

[hexed mango]

Unlocked Loadouts
Locked Loadouts 🤡

[bronze steeple]

Like your excisting

[tepid agate]

I mean the 2042 defenders who believed content was the key problem with the lack of players were right to some extent. Because of dropping a new map they are right behind the BF1 player count. Before it was thousands away

[hexed mango]

if you consider your self devoid of humor, you don’t deserve to speak

[tepid agate]

Same but I have tried BF4 😄

[tame cobalt]

Based moment

[full burrow]

gameplay of 2042 is good, content is crap and also certain decisions and executions are bad too

[arctic grove]

do you realise that repeating same joke through years doesn't make it funnier though

[full burrow]

eg maps are just crap because of their design

[tame cobalt]

Broken machine's controller settings guide is really helping me

[full burrow]

but 2042 gameplay is still good, you can feel it when playing on older, good maps

[hexed mango]

i mean, i personally really like the system 2042 has, more than 4 or other games, but i don’t dislike the other games, i just find 2042 to be a bit more enjoyable for how it plays (specifically infantry wise)

the game is not without its issues, content one of them, but it’s come a long way.

[tepid agate]

I wonder if the player count will go back down the BF4 before season 1 is over 👀

[arctic grove]

currently it's still two thousands away lol

[full burrow]

for pc performance is probably a pic reason for low pop

no one wants to try hard when you can get sit above 60fps

[bronze steeple]

Its not a chame to play diff games but some people like 2042 and there is to much crying going on then uninstall it if you dont like it

[tepid agate]

Would you rate this in your top 5 battlefield games? Or maybe you believe it's got the potential to be in the top 5

[tame cobalt]

eyy that's me

[hexed mango]

it’s also the early morning for the US, so yeah

[bronze steeple]

👆

[tepid agate]

🍻

[full burrow]

"top 5" that includes every bf in the last 10 years lol no?

[bronze steeple]

And noon working day here so people have to work too you know

[hexed mango]

personally, with how much i’ve enjoyed it and played it, it’s up there. i still cherish my memories in 4, but i think it’s taken what’s good and added something new to it

[hexed mango]

yeah but like US makes up a large portion of the players…

[bronze steeple]

Yes agree

[tame cobalt]

The more content, and particularly the better that content, the healthier the playerbase will be,

[hexed mango]

precisely

[bronze steeple]

👆

[tepid agate]

Like I say, the new map helped 2042 surpass BF1. but that only lasted 3 weeks

[hexed mango]

and while i kinda dislike content being the only argument, mainly because it’s come a long way internally and i don’t want that to be undermined, content is still a glaring issue. luckily, plans have been set to fix that

[hexed mango]

just wait till Kale rework and portal guns drop

probably will still be under the radar tho

[bronze steeple]

Buy good pc you need it to play other games competive too

[arctic grove]

what's the point of you participating in arguments about why is bf2042 bad or good then

[tepid agate]

I thought season 1 was going to be the big revive. If you believe season 2 will you have more hope than me

[hexed mango]

idk if my pc is just like cracked but i easily get 100fps since S1 lol

[hexed mango]

well kale rework comes out before S2

[tame cobalt]

imo they should make their marketing push a little bit bigger each season, cuz the more the content problem is fixed, the more worth it the marketing will be. Cuz later on, the people reached by the marketing will stay longer,

[tepid agate]

Final month of season? But no confirmation date I think

[hexed mango]

i think S2 will be great, mainly cause people have that glimpse of how S1 went, and they realize it can get better.

[bronze steeple]

Dude go cry in a corner i am not going to discuss this i like the game and sick of players always whine about it just enjoy it

[arctic grove]

bf2042 may be good for some audience, but not for the audience that most of previous BFs had, deleting class system alone proved that people want new battlefields to have similar core features to old battlefields

[hexed mango]

yeah it’s sometime late july or august, no confirmation

(although Sam did say to keep your eyes pealed in the upcoming weeks)

[arctic grove]

cringe tbh, don't write messages if you have nothing to contribute to the conversation

[tepid agate]

I'm still waiting for them to be "ready" to announce the final plan with specialists.

I know they will stay here but I was so happy for them to come out and say they understand that they are polarizing

[hexed mango]

you are equally cringe for trying to debate being cringe

[hexed mango]

from what i’ve heard they plan on reworking the models and voices, probably more but idk how much

i kinda like the voice lines tho. Mackay was lowkey funny

[arctic grove]

nope though, that's not how it works

[tepid agate]

There were too far off feeling like a war. Sounding like it's all fun and games

[hexed mango]

i mean, it is a game
but i get what you mean

[tepid agate]

Are they even going to continue their video story with Irish 😄

[hexed mango]

i think if it was less chatter and more human like grunts and else what it would make more sense

[hexed mango]

lol idk

[tame cobalt]

Basically like i said, specialist system isn't what made player numbers drop off, it's the lack of long term engaging content, (maps, weapons, vehicles) plus the fact it was generally unfinished at launch

[hexed mango]

i personally think their gadgets are fine. i just think the way the characters themselves work could indeed need reworking

[arctic grove]

of course it isn't the only and main reason, althoguh it is one of the reasons

[tame cobalt]

Destruction or scoreboard or VOIP isn't what made player numbers drop either

[tepid agate]

When I played portal hearing those bC2 voices omg that sounded so realistic

Shame it was before my battlefield entry

[hexed mango]

yeah, but at the same time, there are little voice lines that i think work, ingame. like lines that do enforce the human aspect of them existing

[magic harness]

True and the fact that S1 usually comes after 3 months

This one took time

[hexed mango]

yeah but again don’t dismiss the bug updates and stuff, they happened, and tbh they were pretty good in terms of moving away from release

[tame cobalt]

True

[tepid agate]

The whole package just feels like they didn't build off what was working but wanted to try something new

[magic harness]

But then again I doubt map and gun designers fix bugs

[tepid agate]

Gadgets have been fun but like they say they can break the immersion

[hexed mango]

and i think some is a hit and some is a miss

i personally really enjoy the open loadouts, some people don’t, but i do

[hexed mango]

they fix bugs with the maps and guns, yes

[tepid agate]

I don't think I would go through another Battlefield with this current formula. It's been fun but honestly doesn't feel the same.

[hexed mango]

like i think irish has good gadgets, and so do most people, some i feel like can be redundant like angel, but i feel like they have good stuff

[tepid agate]

His projectile was in bf4 I remember but it had a timer on it. In 2042 it never stops destroying granades lol

[hexed mango]

true but honestly i would like to have a BF game once in a while like hardline or this that strays from the norm. gives us a new view on what these games could have

but, ima go to bed, it’s 3am

[tepid agate]

🛌

[hexed mango]

cya

[tame cobalt]

Bro u gonna get banned

If u don't wanna get banned from server u should probably delete the msg and apologize

Just tryna help before mods come

[naive sandal]

Blinding effect of flashlight worth it?

[still vault]

!!r2 @bronze steeple You don't have to agree with everyone but please treat everyone with respect.

[tender pendant]

Rule 2: Avoid posting messages outside of designated channels. Read the channel, pins & description before posting. Always respect others in the server. English only!

[tame cobalt]

@fossil trench see the kaleidoscope changes they've shown are all in this red circled area which is the new breakthrough area. The changes they've shown look fantastic but the top half of the conquest map is seemingly untouched.

[fossil trench]

I mean I’m not against it being given a rework. All the launch maps need it imo

[tame cobalt]

Ye. But how they are reworking it is a bit weird from the conquest pov

Half the map will be amazing now while the other half will just stay the same

[fossil trench]

We’ll have to see the final product

[tame cobalt]

ye

[bronze steeple]

I try

[tame cobalt]

Kaleidoscope should be one of the strongest breakthrough maps in the game after the rework comes out

inb4 we get "KALEIDOSCOPE 2.0 BREAKTHROUGH 24/7" for a month

[bronze steeple]

You dont sleep👀

[bronze steeple]

You make me curious when its released?

[tame cobalt]

August

[obsidian elk]

Why do I feel like the bolte's windshield is only bulletproof sometimes instead of all the time

What am I missing

[bronze steeple]

Nice

[tame cobalt]

Since when is it bulletproof

[fossil trench]

It’s not bulletproof it’s just really hard to spot the driver and hit him

It’s dumb

[tame cobalt]

Bolte windshield being bulletproof would actually kinda make sense with it being in tank category now

I mean ... "Armored vehicles"... It's literally in the name

I think it could be a good idea to limit the call in system to light vehicles, and add a new category for quad bikes and maybe those civilian trucks as well.

[full burrow]

just keep more static shitty vehicles on flags

mopeds, shitty cars, something someone can just jump into and leave if they happened to be staying at an outskirt point for defence and now the job is done

but in new maps you have to run 400 metres.......

[tame cobalt]

still think my idea is good tho

[full burrow]

these new map reworks need to actually shrink the space between points too not just add better terain and cover inbetween

[tame cobalt]

So everything else has to spawned from deploy screen. And only from home base. But make certain sectors grant an extra vehicle spawn. Like bf4

[naive sandal]

Think it offers some protection - you deal less dmg to passengers

[neon iris]

I'm of the opinion they should have basically infinite non-weaponized transport vechicles, like quads, in the call in system

[tame cobalt]

Performance would go to shit

[neon iris]

Not to mention, calling in a tank and stuff is pretty useless, they're quite rare to find on the spawn in screen, never mind mid game

[slim quiver]

Iirc people use scripts/macros to instantly take vehicles

Just like they’ve done in every bf before this one

So really nothing new

[slim quiver]

There’s actually probably still Reddit threads of people asking if it’s against tos

But they still probably use it regardless. Used to happen in BFV

Especially for planes and stuff in BF1

[tame cobalt]

2042's vehicle respawn timer feature is pretty good. Giving someone else a chance to spawn that vehicle type

[marble wing]

How difficult it is to get S1 T1? Is doing all the missions enough or close? Or do I need a ton of individual points by earning XP?

[grizzled whale]

its broken for a lot of people anyway

[marble wing]

Broken in what way? Doesn't count or stops counting midway?

[grizzled whale]

just doesnt count accurately

[marble wing]

Roger that. Well, in case they fix it, do you have an idea?

[solid imp]

49 points per week I think so 588 from only doing missions if I'm remembering correctly that it's 12 weeks on the season. I believe it's over 1100 for T1 badge so about half your T1 needs to come from grinding out XP based season points.

[lilac dust]

Anyone in this chat not play battlefield 2042? I wanna tell you something

[edgy oriole]

[lilac dust]

Lol I was just gonna say it's 50% off on steam come fill up the portal servers when they're dead pls cos bots don't fill in portal 🥲

[edgy oriole]

i mean i recommend the game to people now that its fixed and 30 bucks

[lilac dust]

Tbh jokes aside I would too. Already played more this season than I did in the first few months

[dire quest]

I wish more people played portal too

[edgy oriole]

If they add iwo jima to portal ill play it

[thorny heart]

I wish i can join a server 1 of the ten times it fails

[slim quiver]

I’d recommend it but I still can’t really

Just because like the one good thing to me is exposure

[hidden sand]

Vehicle balance and animations are too bad for me to recommend it.

[slim quiver]

It seems like season 2 may start to fix design issues

But it’s all a big guess

Honestly for me tho season 2 will be way too late

[hidden sand]

Yeah, fair. What are you hoping for the most, at least?

[slim quiver]

Hoping? Or realistically guessing?

[hidden sand]

Well, both now.

[slim quiver]

My hope is they overhaul the game. My realistic guess is they tweak some specialist freedoms and add more content

Or actually

My hope is they drop the game and move on

[next onyx]

Eh they're not going to yet. We all know that.

They will eventually.

[slim quiver]

Yeah after that article about “next 3 years”

I’ve lost all hope in them moving on

[next onyx]

I kinda do hope they keep on supporting this game and keeping on the next one as long as they need to.

[slim quiver]

But this is probably where I stop playing BF all together

I’ll be 30 years old by the time another BF comes out

The end of this year and the first half of next year is going to be covered with games

So I just don’t see myself realistically wasting time with 2042

[hidden sand]

I just hope for APS, and Armour Angling, and if that doesn't happen I'm done with the game.

[next onyx]

Glad I've been enjoying this game a bit more though.

[slim quiver]

I don’t see armor angling coming

[next onyx]

Maybe it's just the SCAR being decent that's improved my enjoyment.

[dire quest]

I feel 2042 is the best battlefield game so far

[unborn herald]

LOL

[slim quiver]

You’re very lucky

[next onyx]

I wouldn't call it the best but it's certainly getting into a good state.

[unborn herald]

^

[next onyx]

When this game works it's genuinely amazing.

[slim quiver]

To me it just doesn’t feel like battlefield at all really

[hidden sand]

I got killed by a 50mm from a hind 4 times last night. It was infuriating tbh, it just rang every bell in my head, asking "why can you not balance shit DICE?"

[slim quiver]

And the maps are just so unreal bad

[next onyx]

Problem is, Is the design issues.

The infantry vehicle balance is still whack.

Come to think of it.

[slim quiver]

Vehicle mains rejoice when it comes to 2042

[hidden sand]

no

[next onyx]

I prefer classes more anyways because when you're using an assault rifle you can actually use a rocket launcher which keeps stuff under control.

[slim quiver]

I should correct that

[mossy badge]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/947472614522241094/988582615386824754/ghost_AdobeExpress_1.gif

[slim quiver]

Helicopter mains

[slim quiver]

Yeah MW2 will come out when season 2 comes

So basically no reason to play 2042

[next onyx]

Season 2 should come out round september

[slim quiver]

If it’s late September it will be a month before MW2 release

[hidden sand]

NOT EVEN because Helicopters are awful in this game. People who like Overpowered shit are rejoicing. People who wanted a decent flight and offensive skill ceiling with them are not.

Ahhhhhhhhh

[next onyx]

Just want the hyper accurate scout helicopter from bf3.

[slim quiver]

So maybe I’ll play it a little because I don’t expect a lot of content

[next onyx]

It was very lethal yeah but you were rewarded for using your main guns.

Infact people who knew how to fly them didn't need heatseekers.

The rockets are just easy mode and the instant I get tier 1 for my wildcat, The sooner I won't need to stress about getting the achievement for a tier 1 vehicle.

[hidden sand]

I'm toturing myself with trying to T1 the tanks.

Good luck with yours, Way lol

[mossy badge]

good evening to you to everyone without @

[next onyx]

I saw some people with a tier 1 tank earlier.

Good skin.

They need to make its standard shells more lethal against infantry with an APS.

You just run heat and you're doing more damage to the team than helping it cause you cannot handle armour.

[hidden sand]

Never will, either. The specialist will persist because DICE will try to find a middle ground, after nearly a whole year only 2 of the base maps MIGHT be improved and content will still be so lacking because of them arbitrarily splitting AoW and Portal so much. The animation style they had is likely gone for good to.

[next onyx]

They're probably going to copy bf5s animations or something.

Which I wouldn't mind.

[hidden sand]

Armour angling is pretty much needed along with more effective MPAT dmg and APS.

But thats so unlikely.

[mossy badge]

made by them sooo how is it copy way 😁 😼 😎

[next onyx]

Would be cool if the tanks secondary gun was a minigun.

[hidden sand]

Can't it be?

[next onyx]

Give some reason to be aggressive to tear infantry up.

Nah. You know the option for an lmg and hmg?

Have the third option be a minigun.

I like using the lmg more than the hmg cause you can spray with it.

Good dps..

[slim quiver]

Yeah I don’t see it happening

[next onyx]

I do like how they treated the type 5 in bf5. Basically smaller kill explosion radius but you're always firing heat.

Why can't that be an option for actual Heat in game?

[foggy halo]

tanks are really weak in this game

[low timber]

Where the heck would you instal the minigun?

[foggy halo]

hack them and c5 them from distance and they are died

[hidden sand]

I was confusing it with the TOW missile, but yeah not a bad idea.

[next onyx]

Small spool up but lots of killing power.

[wise zodiac]

Hey all!

[next onyx]

Plus miniguns are fun.

Henlo!

Oh yeah I forgot you can use a tow missile on tanks.

The only time you see the lock on indicator in a tank its agms or a sundance grenade haha.

[foggy halo]

they should reduce the c5 throwing distance

[hidden sand]

Btw, I just realized Lis is actually doing 40 dmg to tanks... DICE, why...?

[chilly oak]

They should put it in the grenade section

[chilly oak]

How much health does a tank have

[low timber]

Only thing not fan about miniguns in games is the spinning start up, like I think one of the Royal armories experts said they don’t need to spin before firing.

[chilly oak]

Then it would be too op

[next onyx]

She doesn't do 40 damage to tanks what?

She should at least do 20 to 25.

That's weird.

[low timber]

I think it’s 20 front, 25 side and 30 back

Or somewhere near

[hidden sand]

I was being dealt 40 dmg consistently from her rockets last time I played. Front shots, too.

[next onyx]

Yeah I've been hit more topside and gotten the 30 damage.

[hidden sand]

Might just be a bug then.

[next onyx]

I'm surprised this game has directional damage.

Considering that systemic damage is a bit random.

[low timber]

I want javelin which does 45 dmg when locking to laser designated tanks just like in BF3/4.

[next onyx]

For a lock on that's fine.

Long range option.

[wise zodiac]

Lemme just throw this pack of explosives 400 yards.

[foggy halo]

BUT THE SMOKE doesn't prevent the lock ons

[next onyx]

There's thermal smoke which is unlocked later.

Which is dumb.

[low timber]

Which doesn’t even work half the time

[edgy oriole]

i cant even throw the c5 3 feet. idk how people be chunking that bitch.

[hidden sand]

Thermal smoke requires so many kills and half of the time doesn't even work.

[next onyx]

It's pretty reliably used for me.

Than again I don't deal with lock ons.

As they're not common.

[low timber]

I’ve killed so many ground vehicles with the wildcat Guided AT

[next onyx]

Its a fun tool to get them to stay away.

Would you guys consider the bomb alarm for rush to be iconic?

[low timber]

Wildcat is actually the only non aircraft with guided missiles, as Sundance AA grenade and MBT Staff are active ones, or was it passive? I get those two mixed up

[hidden sand]

Sundance AT/AA grenades are the pain of my existence.

Also, yeah I'd say it is a bit, Way.

[upbeat smelt]

Caught in 4k

[hidden sand]

But they're passive, I think.

[low timber]

It’s nice that they decided to use the iconic BC2 M-COM.

But if they’ll make BC1 remake on Portal I hope they’ll make the gold crate.

As it was first called Gold Rush

BC1 had some fun radio chatter

And the 3D minimap

[hidden sand]

I hope they replace the MCOM with the one from BF1 on the 1942 rush maps.

[low timber]

Isn’t the BF1 and BFV Rush Morse station the same?

[hidden sand]

Think so.

[solid imp]

Yes

[low timber]

Shame the big artillery in Rush got swapped to the small one.

[low timber]

It would be great if they’d make Rush in Portal have the objective be what ever team is defending.

Like imagine if they’d swap the 2042 Rush to the satellites from HZ.

Would be less iconic yes, but would fit the theme.

[hidden sand]

Would be more visually interesting on those maps.

[low timber]

Yeah but why would soldiers from 2042 try to defend Morse code stations from 1942?

[next onyx]

@low timber What about a blood money inspired mode involving the Satellites?

There'll be 3 sites.

One closer to each side and a centremost one where they're more valuable.

[low timber]

Blood money was the one with one money stash and two armored money truck for each sides?

[next onyx]

You carry up to 10 drives each and whichever side makes to 300 terabites worth of data wins.

Yeah!

It's practically an information war.

[low timber]

Tell that to Sam / Vanta

[next onyx]

Oh he doesn't just do the gadgets?

[low timber]

He once asked about everything

[next onyx]

Oh fair.

I should drop it in his DM's then.

[low timber]

So I asked about the missing doors in the BC2 maps

You know, the wooden ones you break with melee

[next onyx]

Oh yeah.

[honest comet]

they dissapear lol

oh btw this new mode in rotation

is there maps from all era?

coz i always get 2042 and 2 maps from bf3 i believe

[next onyx]

Nah. They got rid of 1942 maps from flashback conquest because they proved to not be popular.

[low timber]

BC2 maps should be there yes

[honest comet]

wut those 1942 maps are cool

man wish 2042 had actual houses

not containers

mostly

[next onyx]

1942 maps don't play too well...

[honest comet]

i mean i like looks of them

but well

[lapis oar]

There's a lot of prefab houses nowadays made of containers, 2042 is just in the future. Everything is a container 🤣

[upbeat sand]

What would you cant better
The teir 1 skins
Or bfv gold plated, as in like both how they look and how you get it

[hidden sand]

BoTB would had they not half assed it.

[honest comet]

meh i dont think containers will replace concrete in like 20 years

thats big LOL

i first would never live like fish in can lol

[hidden sand]

Lost all of its verticality

[next onyx]

I'll be honest. There's something about that old art style I love.

[honest comet]

lol ppl still play dis?

[next onyx]

It's very medal of honour like.

[honest comet]

umm yeah but i dont like it

but its personal preference

i love best graphics possible

[next onyx]

Obviously it looks dated but you need to understand this is early 2000's.

[honest comet]

i do understand

i played those hah

[hidden sand]

Just got 30mm'd, then emped, then bombed, then TV Missiled by Lis.

[honest comet]

back then hah

[hidden sand]

Literally just gonna have to wait until the next update and hope they improve tank balance.

[honest comet]

shit i had like 8 years back then haha

when 1942 was launched

back then it was state of the art graphics

[foggy halo]

This game isn't cod they should add more vehicles. golmud railway had 6 tanks and 1 ifv

[honest comet]

they will add

they added 2 new helis

so next season they gonna probs add either 2 jets or ground vehicles

or both

[hidden sand]

It surprisingly isn't as bad to play still as you would assume it'd be.

Ironically, weapon bloom was minimal.

[low timber]

Huh, that hill is way more steep

From which side are you looking at the windmill? US uncap or C1?

[hidden sand]

The second image is where the barracks are.

Axis uncap.

[low timber]

What? The Axis uncap turned from few ruined buildings to a proper military base with its own graveyard?

[mental delta]

He was talking about the amount of vehicles on each team lol

[low timber]

Wait, are the team uncaps flipped in BotB?

[slim quiver]

Battlefield has gimped vehicle count since after the first few entries btw

[mental delta]

"Gimped" you mean like reduced ?

[hidden sand]

After 1942 even, since vietnam didn't have many naval aspects.

[slim quiver]

Reduced on all levels

[hidden sand]

BF2 then completely dropped it.

[slim quiver]

Mainly because Vietnam was never known for its naval engagements

[hidden sand]

Should be the same in Portal.

[slim quiver]

Same with modern warfare

[hidden sand]

Oh yeah that wasn't criticism.

Just pointing it out.

[mental delta]

Ho ok

[hidden sand]

But, Naval warfare could still he fictionalized in a modern setting.

[next onyx]

Just gimme the broken ass Rocket Huey from Vietnam.

[slim quiver]

Modern warfare naval battles is carriers flying planes. One of the many reasons modern warfare is boring. People don’t realize the further in the future you get, the more simplistic war is

[low timber]

But isn’t in Portal BotB the US are the Conquest assault attackers and Germany the defenders?

[next onyx]

Nothing can touch me that way.

[slim quiver]

And I don’t expect devs to understand and read up on naval combat and ships

All they will find is that we basically use predominately carriers and air power

[mental delta]

Yes and amphibious landing could make sense for a new map, but that would require at least 3 types of naval vehicles and the presence of an aircraft landing

[slim quiver]

Battleships were out of style post WW2

[hidden sand]

Uhhhhh, not sure honestly. I just know they spawn in the same locations as the actual 1942 map.

[slim quiver]

Submarines could still be used but mostly nuclear purposes

[hidden sand]

I was really hopeful BFV would have naval combat for the reasons you're pointing out, Miki.

[mental delta]

UH-1Y would be dope in AOW

[hidden sand]

The next game if modern, inevitably wouldn't have it.

[slim quiver]

WW2 has the last naval engagements on earth that were interesting

[next onyx]

The closest I've gotten to naval combat on bf5 would be strafing the dinghies while in a corsair.

[low timber]

BF4 Naval strike was fun, sure sometimes swimming from point to point was a bit too much.

[next onyx]

Also my friend and I were in a dinghie and we were (trying to) run away from an LAV.

[low timber]

Carrier assault was fun, but sadly the assault part of the carrier was a bit meh as the objectives were just M-COMs

[hidden sand]

They could always fictionalize naval combat in a modern setting though. Make more akin to what you'd see in a WW2 game.

[slim quiver]

Battle of Leyte gulf was the largest naval engagement in history that we know of

US 300 ships

Vs japans some 75

[mental delta]

It was an underrated mode

[next onyx]

In a way, It was like frontlines, Marse.

Where the last objectives were MCOMs.

[mental delta]

It was fun and original and I would love to see that type of mode again

[hidden sand]

You couldn't move the carriers either which was disappointing.

[next onyx]

Actually frontlines with carriers would have been fooking cool.

[hidden sand]

Man I miss titan mode.

[low timber]

I wasn’t a fan of frontlines…

[next onyx]

To be fair moving the cariers would have killed the fucking server.

[slim quiver]

1942 did it fine

[next onyx]

Moving Titans back on 2142 did so admins would disable it.

[slim quiver]

1942 had carriers, destroyers, submarines

Artillery tanks

[low timber]

And how long ago did 2142 come out

[slim quiver]

Light-heavy tanks

Jeeps and fighters and bombers

[hidden sand]

I'm not sure that was so common. The Titan moving hasn't affected the servers in a long time.

[low timber]

If you can move a Zeppelin or a dreadnought in BF1 so…

[hidden sand]

Good point.

[next onyx]

@hidden sand

Servers are better now of course.

[hidden sand]

No I know about it, but still. I doubt it couldn't be done now.

[next onyx]

Ye.

Only wake island could use carriers for carrier assault.

Have it at either ends.

[slim quiver]

Carriers ruined naval combat

[low timber]

All of BF4 naval strike maps
BF4 Paracel storm
BFV Pacific Storm

Ofc wake island

[next onyx]

Oh yeah I was looking up the thing that's why I didn't see this.

You sure pacific storm could and would?

[mental delta]

Not in BF4, it was only some kind of respawn point or it was used as a base for each team

[next onyx]

I can understand Paracel.

[slim quiver]

Warfare is basically Technology > Professional army

[next onyx]

Actually no you can by placing it either at B and or F.

[slim quiver]

Pre modern war was Professional Army > technology

[next onyx]

I think the reason why they made the Americans the attackers on Wake island on BF5 is because they didn't have the resources to make Japanese carriers.

[low timber]

What?

[next onyx]

What?

OH NO.

[low timber]

[next onyx]

Fixed!

Now get out of my head, Demon!

[low timber]

But yes. That’s exactly why

[hidden sand]

US has always been attacking on Wake Island afaik

I think so at least. I'd need to load up 1942 again.

[next onyx]

In reality the U.S were the original inhabitants of Wake island.

It was invaded by the Japanese until the end of the war.

There was no actual American Reclamation battle.

They just simply surrendered and killed the POW's as far as I know.

[low timber]

I think in BF1942 and 43 US was defending?

[slim quiver]

They were defending every battle

[slim quiver]

The invasion to wake island was unsuccessful IRL

[hidden sand]

Yeah they were defending in 1942.

I was thinking of BF2.

God BF2s version of wake island is awful.

I despise that map with every fiber of my being.

[next onyx]

I do love how they reference the invasion of Australia.

Basically how do you make up alt history.

Talking about alt history, I should play some wolfenstein.

[mental delta]

Well no.

[hidden sand]

LOL

"Well no" LOLLL

[slim quiver]

Alt history works way better than real history sometimes

Just creates new avenues for engagements and technology

[next onyx]

BAHAH what, I'm looking at some propaganda and the Japanese soldier has a damn thompson.

[hidden sand]

Everyone had a thompson

You were born with it

[mental delta]

Fallout lore makes it incredible but that's because Fallout is incredible

[honest comet]

oh lol

well i think amount is fine atm

only if they put 2 helis, they need to allow 2 jets as well

and jets shouldnt be same category as helis

[mental delta]

I agree it could have more but it would be boring to see 5 exact same tanks at once, if they add new ground vehicles it could interesting though if the map also has an infantry combat area

[hidden sand]

How'd you feel about this tank, @slim quiver ? In 2042 I mean.

[mental delta]

Yes that doesn't make sense tbh and even more when you see how hard it is to play jets

[next onyx]

Kinda reminds me of the Panzer IV.

With the armoured skirts.

[low timber]

To me it looks like Mythbusters tried to make a tank

[hidden sand]

It's a swedish tonk

[slim quiver]

Jesus that design looks horrible

[hidden sand]

WOW

I cannot believe this

[still vault]

I actually kinda like it

[hidden sand]

5 people have mocked this tank infront of me now.

Unbelievable.

[slim quiver]

I can imagine why

[hidden sand]

But I respect your opinion

[slim quiver]

I bet that tank has a 120 mm gun

[low timber]

If you think calling it Mythbusters made is mocking, then… wow…

[slim quiver]

My 2nd guess is 105 mm

[next onyx]

I kinda do like those blocky angle designs.

[hidden sand]

Well Im not really being serious, Marse

But the tank is cool :(((

The KF41 is the next IFV we need.

[still vault]

The Honeycomb skirts are kinda cool and could be easy to make some nice skins for

[hidden sand]

It's chonky.

[low timber]

Personally I don’t understand why they have such 90° sides, won’t ricochet anything.

[next onyx]

That's just a fat sherman.

I do not like that.

[hidden sand]

Unbelievable

[low timber]

Imagine if they’d added Maus as a second vehicle call in for Ger in BFV besides Sturmtiger

[slim quiver]

Tanks now are 60 km/hr moving speed demons

[slim quiver]

Would have been amazing

Then add the E100 so we can get a 150mm gun

[hidden sand]

I'm sure they would have had they been given more time for BFV.

Vehicles were done so well in BFV.

[low timber]

Was E100 that infamous WoT German vehicle that got removed?

[next onyx]

I would have loved to potentially used the Panther and the T34's.

[slim quiver]

It’s still in the game

And it was a real tank in production

Just never finished

[low timber]

Removed from the tech tree*

[slim quiver]

Never removed it from any tech tree

It’s still there

[hidden sand]

Was the e100 a ww2 design?

[low timber]

The Waffenträger auf E 100 is a German tier 10 turreted tank destroyer. The WT Auf. E-100 was eventually removed from the game and replaced with the Grille 15 in Update 9.15.

[slim quiver]

If they added the type 5 in BFV it would be impossible to pen

[hidden sand]

Wait nvn ofc it was you suggested it for bfv.

[slim quiver]

Yes

[next onyx]

We do have the type 5 don't we?

[slim quiver]

That’s the waffenT

[next onyx]

Or nah?

[hidden sand]

It looks like a 60s tank lol.

[slim quiver]

You know the standard E100 is a heavy tank

[low timber]

Well, got mixed the E100 and E100

[slim quiver]

JGPZE100 also exists

[hidden sand]

Yeah the E100 looks super modern damn.

[slim quiver]

Nope

[next onyx]

All the type 5 is, Is just a chi ha with a type 5 barrel isn't it?

[slim quiver]

The type 5 was bigger than the maus

[next onyx]

Cause we have that long boy cannon.

Hmm.

[low timber]

Oooh, that type 5

[slim quiver]

The type 5 was going to be a super heavy tank

[low timber]

That was massive

[slim quiver]

Like the OI

[low timber]

Only planned for main land defense

[next onyx]

We can shove a type 3 turning it into a chi nu. And then the type 5 barrel onto it I must be thinking differently then.

[honest comet]

i get like usually ground kils with them and sometimes some heli thats low hp, but yeah its pretty much dead beat lol

[slim quiver]

250 mm of armor all around. No tank in BFV would be penning that

[hidden sand]

My Sherman would find a way

BET

[low timber]

Type 5 would probably sink into the city sewers if it tried to drive trough a city

[honest comet]

not to mention that dumb ass jets are bein ez killed by helis

[slim quiver]

I block tiger 2 shells in my rear armor when I’m playing that tank

[honest comet]

which has 0 logic

[next onyx]

Honestly doesn't matter on the type, Your tank will still be damaged by anything.

[honest comet]

when did ever heli killed a jet

[next onyx]

Except for the 20MM autocannon. That can't hit anything.

[hidden sand]

I wish we had gotten the type 5 after seeing it in WoT.

Would have been a great call in.

[next onyx]

We do have the long boy type 5 option for the Chi ha on 5 so that's the closest we can get.

[mental delta]

I can't play them at all as they are impossible to maneuver

[next onyx]

The Hachi is a lot of fun though.

[mental delta]

That should be the opposite

[hidden sand]

Holy shit that cannon is so much fun to use LOL

[next onyx]

Which one?

[hidden sand]

It can 2 shot a sherman

[next onyx]

The Hachi or the type 5?

[hidden sand]

Type 5

[next onyx]

I miss it when you could two hit kill a medium from the front.

I like the symmetrical balance between the tanks.

The type 5 chi ha always fires HEAT but their shells have a smaller kill range.

But the Sherman with its 76 cannon has a good kill range that can swap to heat when the occasion arises.

Problem it. Compared to the panzer IV, It was less range.

[low timber]

What was the amphibious JP tank called? Liked the flamethrower configuration on it.

[next onyx]

Japanese versus Germans would be interesting.

The KA-MI.

[slim quiver]

What type 5 is in BFV?

[next onyx]

It's basically a bouyant light tank.

Uhhhh.

[hidden sand]

Sheesh now I have to play BFV.

[low timber]

I liked the KA-MI, only problem was the snorkel or what ever in the back

[next onyx]

It's this type 5 cannon you can put on your Chi ha.

[slim quiver]

You’re talking about the T97?

[next onyx]

You turn it into the Chi Nu with a type 3 cannon.

Type 97 Chi ha yes.

You can give it a type 5 cannon.

I should get a screenshot for simplicity.

[hidden sand]

This was a great way for them to "add tanks" without actually adding them.

[next onyx]

But I cannot be bothered doing anything.

YEAH.

Though the best choice is that type 5 cannon.

I wish you could do the type 3 cannon with AP rounds.

[slim quiver]

That “type 5” gun is just a 75 mm gun

[next onyx]

Long boy.

Wasn't the type 5 also known as the Chi ri.

[slim quiver]

Yeah the actual type 5 long boy was supposed to be 14 cm

[next onyx]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/75/Chi-Ri.JPG

[slim quiver]

The type 5 Chi Ri

That’s the medium tank

[next onyx]

That design is pretty much copied onto the type 5 config for the Chi ha.

[slim quiver]

The O-I type 5 is the prototype heavy

[next onyx]

You know the Americans might of been terrible with their naming scheme but so were the Japanese.

[slim quiver]

Chi to type 4 is the other

The Japanese named things based on years ruled under their emperor

[next onyx]

Isn't it based off the Imperial year?

[slim quiver]

There’s two different systems

Look at the Meiji 30 rifle

Gun was made in 1897

30 years after Meiji restoration

Which was when they started to modernize the military

[next onyx]

Ah alright.

[slim quiver]

The next rifle was Meiji 38

Made in 1905

38 years after Meiji restoration

Then they went all the way back to JP birth calendar

660 BC

which was our first emperor

So when you had guns come out in 1939

TYPE 99

Since the calendar is 2599 years

The A6M ZERO

was made 1940

2600

Hence the ZERO

[next onyx]

I just read up on that.

Haha.

[slim quiver]

It’s a really fascinating concept

[next onyx]

God I feel bad but also good have 10K for the damn A6M2.

It's odd but it is what it is.

[honest comet]

has 0 logic, like when did any heli killed a jet in real world lol

[slim quiver]

JP has always had weird traditional ways of naming things

They all have to link back to the cultures origins or the emperor

[hidden sand]

That checks out I guess.

[honest comet]

heli bein shot from plane gun is dead after 2 bursts lol

[slim quiver]

We still have an emperor

[honest comet]

here u need to empty full ammo 2x minimum(if we dont count repair sistem)

[slim quiver]

Think of like the queen of England

Because that’s basically how it works

More symbolic than power oriented

[hidden sand]

Yeah I figured that was the case.

[slim quiver]

However there’s differences

For instance

[honest comet]

it is symbolic but they still get money and power from just blood

in other words birth priviledge

[slim quiver]

The emperor can not be prosecuted by the superior courts in Japan

[honest comet]

england queen cant either

they have imunity

[slim quiver]

Oh that’s actually interesting

I think emperor has it here because he’s also a religious leader automatically

[honest comet]

same as vatikan

and every priest

they cant be jailed

[hidden sand]

Weird.

[honest comet]

only exported to vatikan

and then vatikan never puts them to jail

just transfers them to other country

[vocal adder]

I like the new ea play playercard for 2042

[hidden sand]

Surely there are limitations on it, Miki?

[slim quiver]

Emperors in japan are basically descendants of Amaterasu so that’s how it’s played out

[honest comet]

yeah true

[hidden sand]

Like they couldn't kill someone and get away with it, I'd imagine.

[sweet barn]

its time to morb

[honest comet]

not so sure

[slim quiver]

I bet they could

[honest comet]

i think they can lol

[hidden sand]

Whaaaat

[full jetty]

Whats the friday night gamemode?

[slim quiver]

Yeah probably

They have immunity

[hidden sand]

That's wack.

[honest comet]

but they wont do it ofc lol

[dire quest]

Isn't ameteratsu a god in japan?

[honest comet]

even if they do it would be put under carpet

[slim quiver]

Who’s going to lock up a descendent of the sun goddess

[honest comet]

and nobody would ever found out

[slim quiver]

She’s the sun goddess yes

[hidden sand]

Interesting to find out how that works I guess.

[dire quest]

So technically the emperor is seen as a god or deity no?

[hidden sand]

Is she part of the religion you mention a bit ago? The one you believe in.

[slim quiver]

Shinto yes

[hidden sand]

Huh. So do most cultural things like that stem from Shinto?

[slim quiver]

She is the ruler of most of the Kami

Shinto is basically a naturalistic religion

The belief that spirits good or bad inhabit all things

[hidden sand]

Huh, wasn't aware of that.

[slim quiver]

The whole idea is to keep a balance between humanity and Kami

[hidden sand]

So even objects or specifically things with significance?

[slim quiver]

Humans are all inherently good unless they’re corrupted by evil spirits

All things we consider living aspects

Humans, animals, plants, oceans

The moon, the sun

[hidden sand]

Ah I see.

[slim quiver]

Izanagi is seen as the creator of Kami

His children: Amaterasu, Susanoo, tsukuyomi

Tsukuyomi is moon

Susanoo: storm

Amat: sun

[hidden sand]

Wait I think I read into Izanagi a while back. Wasn't he kind of similar to uhhh shit.

I forgot the name.

[slim quiver]

I’d consider him kind of like a cronos or whoever made the gods of Olympus

Forget his name

[mental delta]

They should add a A-10 in AOW

[hidden sand]

Isn't the story of Izanagi kind of tragic?

I feel like it was based off my bad memory.

[uncut bay]

that thing is outdated as fuck today, it should be extra outdated in 2042. Give us something new

[hidden sand]

Does storm just represent weather, in that case?

[slim quiver]

Yes

[slim quiver]

Pretty much

Basically izanagi was in love with izanami

[hidden sand]

Izanami, yeah that's the one I was forgetting.

[slim quiver]

But she died giving birth to kagutsuchi*

[sweet barn]

what is this weeb shit in 2042

[devout crown]

The a10 is not outdated and is set to be in service till 3030

[uncut bay]

it is

[devout crown]

Yes

[uncut bay]

outated. Inadequate pile of metal that should've stopped flying by now

[next onyx]

It's not even weeb shit it's mythological stuff.

[slim quiver]

So then izanagi killed him and then izanami’s remains lead to a whole bunch of other deities forming from her yadda yadda

[hidden sand]

Sheesh.

[slim quiver]

Shinto has a lot of cool mythological shit if you’re ever bored

[hidden sand]

Wait hold on Izanagi killed his son?

[slim quiver]

Ofc

[devout crown]

The a 10 is the best friend of the 11 bravo

[slim quiver]

He was the one that killed his wife through childbirth

[uncut bay]

regardless, even if it wasn't, something new is better. The game is set in the future, show some creativity

[slim quiver]

He couldn’t let that slide

[hidden sand]

Well yeah but it's not like he attempted to intentionally, or is that the case?

[next onyx]

Vengeful much?

[slim quiver]

Basically izanami gave birth to the islands that exist for JP

[hidden sand]

Ah yeah I remember that now.

[slim quiver]

She basically birthed entire islands and deities

But izanagi was obsessed with her

So when she died he went completely enraged

[mental delta]

BF2042 sets in a world with no-pats who struggle to survive and have to use everything they find to fight, using old A-10 would makes sense to me

[slim quiver]

Then izanagi descended to Yomi

Because he couldn’t live without izanami

[devout crown]

So does that mean the ah64 is outdated as well

[hidden sand]

Yomi?

[slim quiver]

So he basically went down to the land of the dead

[hidden sand]

Ah.

[uncut bay]

that's great but they're backed by two superpowers who are still very much thriving. And once again, doesn't matter, i'd rather see something new and imaginative

[hidden sand]

When it comes to shinto though, how is it followed?

[uncut bay]

doesn't matter, not what i'm talking about

[hidden sand]

Really the only religion I'm familiar with is Christianity, which is essentially a rulebook.

[devout crown]

I would like to see the revive system from bf4 like why so many menus

[slim quiver]

Basically we follow it through like the idea of spirits good and bad inhabiting things

[mental delta]

And so ? In the lore you can find on their website it's definitely said no-pats have to survive on their own when they're not serving a superpower, using old vehicles and weapons would totally make sense. I can understand the desire to see new vehicles and stuff though

[slim quiver]

There’s a lot more to the story of izanagi and Izanami but

Most of it is just maintaining a balance in our lives with nature and shit

[left hollow]

I wonder if theyre gonna add multiple maps for season 2

[mental delta]

[slim quiver]

There’s some really good YouTube videos on it

[hidden sand]

Ah so there's not really defined rules the way Christanity does it, then?

[uncut bay]

we fight for the US and RU in game, they are going to get what those two superpowers have. And once more, read what i said

[hidden sand]

I'll look into them.

Really interested now honestly.

[slim quiver]

No

We don’t teach ethical subjects in shinto

[hidden sand]

I forgot about the Izanagi and Izanami story, I remember reading a lot into it a few years back.

[devout crown]

The a10 was made in 77 and the ah64 was made in 75

[left hollow]

Yeah I mean it'd be nice if they did and were on the same levels as exposure or better

[slim quiver]

You’re thinking of Confucianism

Confucianism has ethical teachings

[hidden sand]

Ah I see.

[slim quiver]

They’re all really cool mythology tho

If you ever get a chance there’s some good shinto YouTube mythology

And they have like some neat stories

[sweet barn]

#battlefield-2042

[slim quiver]

If you really love Greek mythology you’d fit right in

[sweet barn]

[hidden sand]

Yeah for sure.

Pumped to look into it.

[slim quiver]

I’ll link u in general one that I like

[mental delta]

You should also read what I say but it seems like you are the type of guy who is always right and sees everything as an argument, I wasn't even trying to argue with you lol, even exposing ideas but it seems like you are not even able to do that

[slim quiver]

Just so you can keep note

[left hollow]

When is the map rework meant to come out?

[mental delta]

Me too as Exposure has the best design until now, and two new maps would be really cool especially an infantry one or a naval combat one

[mental delta]

Mid-season

[uncut bay]

i did read what you said, and you can think that if you want. I said what i'd like to see in the game and you brought lore into it despite battlefield having never been accurate to its lore when it comes to multiplayer. Don't get mad at me when i use that same lore to refute your point

[left hollow]

Naval combat would actually be sick in 2042 if they add alot of naval vehicles

With warships and such

[mental delta]

I used lore to explain that would make sense to use old stuff for no-pats, but you saw that as an argument and you want to be always right like a 13 years old, you're not interesting and can't just conceive people have different ideas than you, just go argue with yourself

[mental delta]

I also think that, with aircraft carrier and amphibious landings

[uncut bay]

and i used lore to explain that it wouldn't lol, not my problem if you see me as being argumentative. If you want the a10 that's cool, i don't, but don't try to use a nonsensical argument to tell me why an a10 would be fine in the game, because i'm going to point out that it's nonsensical

they can give an a10 to an explicitly nopat faction, that'd make sense

but to a superpower that's undoubtedly been developing its tech over the years? Nah

[shadow geyser]

Anyone down to squad up?

[silk surge]

First game with a fully upgraded stealth heli. They need to nerf it asap lmao.

[tranquil turtle]

Do you use the .50 cal or the 30mm?

[hidden sand]

Doesn't really need a nerf imo, outside of the radius for the bombs. The 30mms are bugged, they're supposed to overheat way quicker.

[silk surge]

The biggest issue I noticed was that I was almost completely untouchable by AA. I just deployed flares when I saw 'hack warning' and then yeeted away in stealth mode, and there was literally nothing Raos or people with stingers could do about it.

[arctic grove]

what is ID_PC_CORRUPT_SAVE_BODY

[silk surge]

30mm, .cal is only good against air vehicles and nothing else really.

[open tangle]

1 match doesn’t mean much though. What’s your average with the same helicopter?

[tranquil turtle]

You can shoot infantry with it if you have good aim

[open tangle]

Also not everyone is good at flying that thing.

[silk surge]

I used solo/co-op to get all the attachments, this was my first actual game with it.

[open tangle]

Just be proud you’re a good pilot 😇

[hidden sand]

The Wildcat and TV missile can absolutely demolish it. Problem is, one of those things is grouped with tanks.

[uncut bay]

the vehicle groupings are awful

need to be revised

but so do helicopters

[open tangle]

Tanks need a buff 💪

[silk surge]

I killed 2 Wildcats in that game. Spamming 30mm and then finishing them off with stealth bombs.

[uncut bay]

i actually tried using the wildcat once to get rid of the helicopters, but aiming with a mouse feels terrible with the turret delay

[open tangle]

I’ll just go over and lend you my controller

[uncut bay]

i have a controller but frankly i cba lmao

i just try to stay indoors

[open tangle]

What’s cba

Can’t be asked

[uncut bay]

cant be arsed/asked

[silk surge]

Can't be arsed.

[open tangle]

We are both Londoners aren’t we?

[uncut bay]

indeed we are

[open tangle]

I remembered correctly

[small ember]

Why does everyone I know on bf 2042 always are from the uk?

[silk surge]

I also noticed that jets are useless against stealth helis, as they can't spam missiles over and over again.

[silk surge]

Maybe something to do with your region?

[small ember]

Aiming helps

[open tangle]

Nearly everyone I bump into in general is Canadian

[small ember]

I live two hours away from Canada I’m from the us

[silk surge]

From my experience, everyone I play with are germans.

[foggy halo]

A lot of people that play bf are from Germany

[silk surge]

Turns out that Battlefield is exceptionally popular in Germany, they even have e-sports tournaments for BFV.

[next onyx]

We had comp in OCE for a bit.

Died though due to poor management.

[foggy halo]

Servers sometimes have plugins that show how many players play from each country

[arctic grove]

what is ID_PC_CORRUPT_SAVE_BODY

[next onyx]

Well. Xbox side.

[foggy halo]

Also from some reason the russian players usually have low kds

[wise zodiac]

It's ID_PC_CORRUPT_SAVE_BODY, duh.

[silk surge]

Battlefield is also strangely popular in China, even though the franchise is partially banned there sinc the China Rising DLC.

[arctic grove]

(Face palm)

[wise zodiac]

[open tangle]

What’s OCE?

Australia Oceania?

[tame cobalt]

I really like that the weeklies don't expire through the whole season.

[next onyx]

AU plus NZ.

[quiet shell]

I wonder when we'll get details on the July update

Probably this monday?

[open tangle]

I’ve done all mission until week 4

[arctic grove]

Classic dice selling Merica skins for the 4th of July weekend. 🦅

[foggy halo]

The gunner seat in the stealth heli is so cursed

[tame cobalt]

Y

Imma start using wildcat a bit

Gonna try to hunt some heli sweats

AA truck and tank should have seperate categories. Same with jet and attack choppers. Same with MAV and gunships.

Discord down?

[summer zenith]

Hello guys

[lone void]

Love how the game just didn't count the 10 battle pass xp from the bonus mission this week

This week's missions also suck

Very suck

[foggy halo]

Most of the skins are nothing special anyway.

[lone void]

That's not the point

[willow sky]

is the AK still a good choice?

[wide shore]

Yes

One of my favs

[uncut bay]

yes still very good

[fiery shoal]

as far as primary goes i dont think there are any bad choices
