battlefield-2042

[fierce gull]

this already happened during Bf4 and people still buying their games

[calm bison]

Yeah it's pretty playable

[jovial quest]

Where Alex I must perform an interview with my friend!

[arctic grove]

something that should be on launch lmao

[fierce gull]

EA never changes The community never changes

[calm bison]

let's look at all of the AAA devs that release unfinished products

oh shit it's all of them

We still don't have co-op in Halo Infinite

[lusty nacelle]

This is why I play hunt and give crytek all my money

[fierce gull]

Halo infinite dead

[frail sparrow]

Let's stop buying aaa games amd go indie. They release quality stuff these days.

[calm bison]

Everyone buy Planet Coaster on steam

[bronze steeple]

I do chrouch but almost never prone

[calm bison]

It'll boost sales

And get Frontier closer to Planet Coaster 2

[calm junco]

It's no longer possible to damage friendly air vehicles with the G-84 TGM’s missile

Wait, we could do that?

[drowsy shuttle]

Data Drives are now globally shown in the world <- this was already in update 1.0

[bronze steeple]

Maybe go fk yourself wanker

[still vault]

I can not agree with you without defending stuff tyvm

[craggy onyx]

enemy ai needs missle spam nerf

[hexed mango]

@edgy oriole

nice.

[jovial quest]

So where anime skin

[red notch]

Ricochet

[calm bison]

I like the whole concept of protesting against pre-orders

[red notch]

If going to beat you to death

[calm bison]

What are you gonna do?

[jovial quest]

No

[arctic grove]

Took them long enough to figure that legacy out

[fierce gull]

they made the spawn beacon weak af now

you can destroy it now with 2 bullets

[calm bison]

It's my money
-Jon Bovi

[hexed mango]

they got jokes

[hexed mango]

🤡

[arctic grove]

101 how to fix this mess called battlefield 2042

1. restrict gadgets to specific roles (recon = soflam and etc., assault = c4 and smoke launcher, support = medikit and ammo box, engineer = rocket launchers and repair tool)
2. bring more content
3. remove that shitty xp cap from portal
4. profit

[red notch]

I can guarantee you that COD: MW:II, 2, is going to just be reskinned 2019 with 2 new maps and guns

People are gonna pay $70-$250 for it and they already said it’s support will end a month in

[sour meadow]

ayo are the jets in 2042 supposed to feel like amputated elephants or am i bugging

[hexed mango]

Vehicle love lamp

i need to find whoever writes these and hug them

[calm bison]

I watched the gameplay demo on youtube, they used the same Vector model and reload for the game

[ripe hedge]

Pretty cool stuff dropping in 1.1 if I say so myself

[red notch]

You bugging, I go so fast I can barely lock on

[red notch]

I noticed

[jovial quest]

Alex how are ya!

[sour meadow]

no not speed-wise, i mean handling

[frail sparrow]

They acknowledged gunter, that's all that matters

[sour meadow]

they turn like ass

[arctic grove]

HLL and Elden Ring are AAA games made by an Indie team

[red notch]

They need to make turn speed faster I agree

[low timber]

So the BSV-M is getting Buffed

[tulip cipher]

Hell let Loose ?

[calm bison]

Make the F35 more maneuverable

[tulip cipher]

They are indie?

[frail sparrow]

Uhh, wouldn't really call from software indie they backed by sony

[red notch]

“What could go wrong”

[hexed mango]

YES They buffed jets (slightly)!

[sour meadow]

i never got to fly jets in bf4 because all the enemy pilots are sweatlords so idk if they handle the same

[white geyser]

Whatever vehicles they gonna add in the portal, it better be the ones that are missing and the ones they didn’t add in the previous battlefield games

[arctic grove]

Facts but the real clowns are is for letting them slide with this

[ripe hedge]

Doing well how bout you?

[hidden sand]

Just wish tanks had been worked on at least a little. Do you know if there is any plans to improve tank vs their counters at all?

[hexed mango]

can you locate the person who writes the patch notes for me and tell them that i love them

[tranquil turtle]

Does the rule editor work with the air superiority mode

[red notch]

Yes

As with all modes in portal

[drowsy shuttle]

they didn't nerfed Sundance... so at least i got that going...

[sour meadow]

wait a minute

[tranquil turtle]

What

[sour meadow]

there's a new update coming?

[red notch]

They are adding 4 new TDM portal maps

[arctic grove]

Ok valid. Still a good quality polished game at launch

[tranquil turtle]

Last time I checked the rule editor didn't work with conquest

[frail sparrow]

Tomorrow, #game-news for patchnotes

[red notch]

You buggin

[hexed mango]

rake that bozos

[frail sparrow]

True

[tranquil turtle]

They're adding the A10 warthog

[sour meadow]

YES

[hexed mango]

wait but #game-news already has notes

[jovial quest]

Doing good just got word of the new update and im starting to look forward to it, by any chance are you down for an interview.

[sour meadow]

THANK YOU JESUS

[jovial quest]

[tranquil turtle]

I can finally change my nickname

[drowsy shuttle]

yes tomorrow... btw hazard zone changes was already in the game in 1.0 update... but since 95% of the player base don't play hazard zone, they don't even notice lol

[calm bison]

eh jets are still pretty useless

[hexed mango]

i’m happy. just wish there were more opportunities to use jets

[calm bison]

The 30mm isnt that great

[hidden sand]

I think I'll be dropping the game until something is done about the vehicle balance. Was really hoping there would be improvements this patch but ah well.

[frail sparrow]

You read over my comma in that sentence, Morbius.

[tranquil turtle]

Separate them from attack helis

[red notch]

I thought I was reading the wrong patch notes lol, guess they copy pasted it

[hidden sand]

Just gotta wait and see at this point.

[calm bison]

F18 in AOW when

[jovial quest]

^

[hexed mango]

rhis is actually a god tier update. dmrs might be useful now

[sour meadow]

does the condor nerf apply to the hind as well

[calm bison]

yes

[drowsy shuttle]

the thing is, the changes to hazard zone weren't in 1.0 update patch notes lol... at least i don't recall... but im pretty sure they weren't....

[tranquil turtle]

DM7 was pretty good anyway

[hexed mango]

u right it was on an indent on my phone and i just woke up, my bad

[calm bison]

When do we get Walter White Mackay

[low timber]

Expect the BSV-M one, already can beat bolt-actions in one-on-one.

[hexed mango]

yes

[red notch]

Weird, second chance has been in the gamemode since season 1

And they put it in these patch notes

[frail sparrow]

No hard feelings, good morning! :)

[ripe hedge]

I'm about to eat so maybe later

[hexed mango]

true but it makes it also nicer at sniping moving targets aswell

[drowsy shuttle]

they buffed the BSV 😂 oh dear lord ahahahah well... no point using any other weapon now

[bronze steeple]

Increased rate of fire in bsv from 700 to 790👀

[jovial quest]

Oki doki

[hexed mango]

1.1 is great but i wish my internet worked

[jovial quest]

Thank god

[low timber]

Velocity =/= rate of fire

[hexed mango]

only long range tho, so the way most people use it isn’t in affect

[mental delta]

Still no Portal weapons on AOW though What is that trick Mister Alex ?

[hexed mango]

that isn’t rof

[frail sparrow]

"we noticed all the other guns were underperforming, so we buffed the bsv by 5%"

[arctic grove]

dice moment lmao

[calm bison]

e

[hexed mango]

damn bro give it time, stop being impatient

[drowsy shuttle]

exactly... and this: Data Drives are now globally shown in the world <- is already in 1.0

[bronze steeple]

Bullet speed

[mental delta]

[arctic grove]

is this game made by inters or what

[bronze steeple]

Not the same as rate of fire?

[mental delta]

I don't need to wait, I need weapons

[hexed mango]

no, that was only with scanners which was given to everyone before, which isn’t now, they changed that in 1.1

[hexed mango]

so play portal dumbo

[calm bison]

These interns deserve a raise then

[bronze steeple]

[hexed mango]

bozo comment

[calm bison]

because I can't think of any intern capable of developing a AAA FPS

[ripe hedge]

They are still coming...!

[arctic grove]

then youre wrong

[drowsy shuttle]

hum? nobody uses the scanners anymore... since you can see where the drivers are.... and this was in 1.0 i've played the game mode last week....

[mental delta]

It's not the main game and there's no prorgression + Portal weapons in AOW are new weapons

[calm bison]

no youre wrong

[arctic grove]

nowdays it inst hard to make game lmao

[bronze steeple]

Its bullet speed but its same as rate of fire right

[arctic grove]

you have unreal engine or unity

they have assets store

[mental delta]

Ok ok good, I hope it will be during season 1

[tranquil turtle]

Portal weapons feel like shit though

[fierce gull]

can you make a better battlefield for us? I wanna try

[hidden sand]

Wish they would give word on tank improvements.

[dapper river]

Hope they include full mastery progression 🤞

[low timber]

No, bullet speed is how fast the bullet takes from leaving the gun and hitting the surface you are aiming at

[calm bison]

When do we get better reloads for the portal weapons

[tranquil turtle]

Acr feels like a toy in BF3 portal

[jovial quest]

Wonder if there will be tier 1 for portal weapons

[bronze steeple]

Oke ty but looks like a good improvement

[calm bison]

Also is it just me or is there one song on the 2042 radio that sounds like the coffin dance song?

[ripe hedge]

Better animations you mean?

[calm bison]

Yes

[red notch]

I want to beat you until coins start coming out

[bronze steeple]

Wake up cranky mr heisenberg?

[mental delta]

I think they said it will be totally new weapons with full progression so yes probably

[drowsy shuttle]

i wanna believe they silent nerf the bsv... maybe increase recoil or something...

[calm bison]

It's weird when I reload the XM8 and I can clearly tell that the reload is modelled after the DM7

[jovial quest]

It would make the game 10x more playable

[jovial quest]

Noice

[bronze steeple]

No they shouldnt its perfect now

[tranquil turtle]

Hk416 reload is a carbon copy of the m5 reload

[hexed mango]

idk then maybe they were just noting them now

[hidden sand]

@ripe hedge , would you say the first person animation improvements are making them more akin to BFV?

[red notch]

It would make all of the non-horny people leave…

[calm bison]

Also sweet jesus that garand reload

[jovial quest]

Sounds good

[mental delta]

Yes I just hope we'll get them really soon

[calm bison]

the en bloc clip comes out of the front of the gun

[hexed mango]

tank buff
apache buff
cough cough more air vehicles (in a round at a time) cough

split up jets and helicopters, give a jet, a helo, etc

[tranquil turtle]

Mp412 reload 😬

[arctic grove]

maybe

[sour meadow]

why is there bullet dispersion on the jet to begin with

[bronze steeple]

You mean less air vehicles

[sour meadow]

it's mounted on the jet

[jovial quest]

Yea sucks to see it take so long but I ain’t no dev so I can’t complain

[drowsy shuttle]

i think was already perfect... i stopped using it cause was actually boring... you could melt people even with the short barrel at medium/long distances....

[tranquil turtle]

Cough cough 2 of each

[calm bison]

the 2042 garand reload makes the 1942 garand reload look like perfection

[hexed mango]

no, more opportunities for jets to be in play

[lilac dust]

Why do the patch notes for tomorrow's update include Hazard zone changes...... a whole month after DICE said they're not supporting it anymore

[bronze steeple]

Its a beast with high power extended and shorten barrel

[hidden sand]

Because DICE are incapable of balancing vehicles. The Jet is finally after 8 months becoming more capable.

[bronze steeple]

Yet fine chopper less

[calm bison]

Why did we get rid of wing mounted Machine guns

[low timber]

Support = adding content, not fixing broken stuff

[arctic grove]

+1

[hexed mango]

Jets should be their own category

WC armor should be nerfed, and WC and Bolte should be in a light armor category, MBT in a category, Jets in a category, Helicopters (Attack) as a category, and Transport as a category, and then the personal vehicles like the LCAA

[dapper river]

Air superiority preset at last

[hexed mango]

no.

well

actually, retract that statement

[lilac dust]

Did you read the part where I said they added a new mechanic, although I disagree with what you just said.

[still vault]

Or, they just want it balanced differently than you

[mental delta]

Yes I am just still upset with the amount of weapons

[calm bison]

There;s a difference between balancing and completely preventing the players from flying the damn things

[sour meadow]

i mean the cannons are mounted into the jet. i don't see physically why there would be spread

[calm bison]

Is it balanced? YES
Can I fly it now? ABSOLUTELY NOT

[low timber]

No, I didn’t read
But back when they did announce the end of HZ support they did say they’ll update it to fix it.

[sour meadow]

i'm no engineer but

[dapper river]

The spread on the jet's gun is a bit much, but I'm just glad as an infantry player I haven't been killed by it

[still vault]

If spread makes it be balanced it will have spread. Just like every gun uses tracer rounds.

[calm bison]

This is a reminder that BFV had smaller maps, less players, yet more vehicles per map

[hexed mango]

lets see if i can try the A-10 without killing my internet, although i bet it will still be broke tomorrow

[silk surge]

If only we had won that game 😫

[calm bison]

BFV had 3v3 plane maps and 4v4 tank maps on some of the smallest maps

[low timber]

I know it a powerful plane, but that powerful?

[sour meadow]

but the jet handling is terrible. they take so much input to turn

[hexed mango]

i mean my internet is just bad

[calm bison]

BF2042 has 2v2 tanks and 1v1 air vehicles on their largest map

it's really bizarre

breakaway

[low timber]

Your internet can’t handle the BRRRT

[calm bison]

a map 2000m long

[hexed mango]

unfortunately

[still vault]

Sure, but if they flew like BF1 planes that would be weird too.

[calm bison]

can't have more than one air vehicle per side

fucking magic

[sour meadow]

also the airspace is pretty small

[silk surge]

They reduced air vehicles to 1 because noobs kept crying about getting killed by them.

[calm bison]

Sinai Desert is bigger than all of Orbital

I stand by that

[sour meadow]

i'd say they're the same

[hidden sand]

DICE don't know how to balance vehicles and always listen to the infantry only players. This = horrible balance.

And giving them feedback about it means nothing, because they only listen to the loudest bunch.

[sour meadow]

i heard one person say that air vehicle should stay fighting other air vehicles

[calm bison]

That person's brain is smoother than butter

[slow terrace]

no mention of music in game lobby that is missing

[calm bison]

The hind was actually OP

But things like the attack choppers and jets are now virtually useless

[sour meadow]

like aircraft has always been sanskrit to DICE in all their games

[calm bison]

The attack chopper has been rendered obsolete due to the stealth choppers

And jets serve no useful function

[topaz crown]

I hardly see anyone use jets

[calm bison]

And the nightbird is something that exists

[sour meadow]

i tried using jets yesterday in excodus

i got 5 kills

because i had no anti ground so i spent the whole round flying in circles waiting for aircraft to spawn

[calm bison]

Planes in BF4-1-5: 30 kill games on conquest
Planes in 2042: 5 kill games

[topaz crown]

Jets are weak, that stealth chopper flew faster than me and managed to shoot me down so quick

[sour meadow]

the one guy who was fighting me in another jet left after i ganked him 3 times

i got like 1 infantry kill with the cannon

[arctic grove]

why should anyone care about that if it seems that about 75% of the community wants the bsv nerf and jets buff along with tanks buff

[calm bison]

My biggest issue with jets comes in the form of their masteries

[arctic grove]

they should care more about the community than themselves in terms of how should the game be built

[sour meadow]

everytime i dived in my strafes it took so much input to pull up

[calm bison]

You need to get vehicle kills to get jet masteries

[arctic grove]

otherwise goodluck with getting money out of 3 dice devs playing the game daily at most lol

[jovial quest]

Fair enough

[calm bison]

Instead of just killing

[hidden sand]

The AT helis would be viable if they didn't fly like they're going through molasses.

[sour meadow]

yea when that update coming where portal guns are coming to AOW

[topaz crown]

I've ever only had 1 infantry kill and he was half health

I'd love that heli from Bad Company 2 in AOW, that Huey is absolutely beautiful

Vietnam style chopper

[hidden sand]

The Anti Vehicle rockets absolutely shred enemy helis and ground vehicles, but because the heli moves so poorly aiming is horrible and you can barely get away once people start attacking you.

[sour meadow]

i hope the next battlefield is a mix of korean/vietnam

[topaz crown]

BF Vietnam

[calm bison]

I would love if the next Battlefield was set in Vietnam and the campaign followed a story more along the lines of The Things They Carried

A dark, gritty, sad, tragic tale of American GIs in Vietnam

[sour meadow]

maybe an alt history where korea and vietnam combine forces

call it like "Battlefield 68"

[calm bison]

i don't want the next BF campaign to end on a good note

[topaz crown]

Sorry I don't know my helicopters I just love the sound they make, whatever the transport one is called

[ripe hedge]

BSV will be adjusted too but please try this change first 🙂 we believe the other DMRs have a bigger fighting chance now

[calm bison]

All campaigns in Battlefield end on a high note usually

let's change that

let's make the player sad

[sour meadow]

i mean idk if i would consider storm of steel a high note in terms of emotions

[calm bison]

A light breaks through the clouds

[sour meadow]

did you not see all the dead people

[mental delta]

UH-60 I guess

[calm bison]

I saw all the dead people

I actually shed a tear on that intro

I'll admit it

[topaz crown]

That's it, thank you

[drowsy shuttle]

wait only Condor got nerfed? not the super hind?

[calm bison]

But that mission ends with both our doughboy and German soldier in a standoff, and it ending positively with both of them smiling

[sour meadow]

no that got nerfed too

[bronze steeple]

Why nerfed its good like this

[drowsy shuttle]

ah ok

[sour meadow]

but there's dead people literally everywhere

[mental delta]

No problems

[calm bison]

you're missing my point

[sour meadow]

i mean i get it

idk

the contrast is what's fucking with me

[calm bison]

I want the next campaign to make the player arthur-morgan-dies cry

But that's unlikely

[sour meadow]

i always wanted another story in bf1 about a german medic

trying to save lives

[zealous patio]

@ripe hedge pls seperate jets from helicopters jets counters helis

[drowsy shuttle]

im glad about the buff on the other DMR's.. but the BSV needs a nerf.. maybe in the rate of fire or damage i dunno... i think its really powerfull

[pine roost]

I’ve only just finished that game, don’t make me sad again ;(

[hidden sand]

I thought the BSV was fine as a dmr already, but the other ones were def not well rounded.

[calm bison]

Eh you got like 2-3 years

dead chat

[fierce gull]

I want the M416 in AOW

[sour meadow]

i'd like to make a suggestion for a future update

when playing as falck or angel, make the revive icons x1000000 times bigger

because no one revives

[pine roost]

i'll check out the new jets, and see if the heli controls have been fixed as well as any potential undocumented changes, but that'll be it

[fierce gull]

hey alex can I equip the foregrip and the lasersight at the same time

[pine roost]

still can't do any piloting because balance has meant there's only 1 available, it's all I can do to avoid the specialist system

[calm bison]

I think that characters like Falck and Angel should get more XP for giving health and ammo

Actually reward players for contributing to their team

[topaz crown]

^

100%

[calm bison]

This doesn't apply to the other specialists

[ebon fern]

what did they fix about the jets? i might look into flying again, but the jets still look like flying tanks without speedcontrol

[calm bison]

just the support ones

[topaz crown]

I play Falck, I use Ammo Box and her pistol so I play both, I feel so unrewarded it's unreal

[pine roost]

nothing to do with the physics, although something could change that hasn't been written down. They have just reduced the spread on the cannons quite significantly, and nerfed the AGMs somewhat

[calm bison]

Engineers and Assaults should get more XP for destroying gadgets and vehicles

and Recon should get more XP for spotting

[twin pewter]

Excited to re-try the DM7 now

[topaz crown]

That's what put me off Casper

[calm bison]

Players complained about BFV forcing teamwork on them, and not giving a comfortable lone-wolf playstle

[topaz crown]

No XP towards the spotting

[calm bison]

and now players complain that everyone is too lone wolf

[topaz crown]

Can't win

[calm bison]

exactly

[ebon fern]

ok i just bought BF2042 on 50% off sale, so not wasting alot of money to check out

[queen violet]

Any one notice. Is takes to long for the c5. Button to work.. feeels like i click. And click and fekin click.. AND CLICK. And nothing works 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[calm bison]

Faulty trigger

Get a new one at a nearby ACME store

[topaz crown]

Yeah it's annoying

[naive sandal]

You can adjust revive icon size

[topaz crown]

Can you adjust hitmarker size?

[queen violet]

It is….

[calm bison]

Also add more ribbons

[queen violet]

Sticker on ya tv

[calm bison]

The current ribbons are too broad

[queen violet]

😂

[calm bison]

If you give players a ribbon for giving ammo (like an ammo ribbon), they'll want to get more

it's rewarding

these are just the basic principles of gameplay

[queen violet]

Assists are amazing.. better than kills

[sour meadow]

i know. is a joke because no one revives

[ebon fern]

@pine roost it would be glorious if they add BF3 / BF4 jet physics for BF2042 - i'd immediately consider playing it seriously

[topaz crown]

I did have an amazing team the other day, all healing and giving ammo, then end game it kicks us out booooo

[calm bison]

DICE needs to actually reward players for reviving and resupplying

[queen violet]

Best thing to do.. just go around givin every player a lick…. No need to kill.. just a lick.. assist. Its 2022 man

[calm bison]

players don't revive cuz they get very little out of it

[sour meadow]

then don't pick a class/specialist that revives

[wide violet]

I wish the game rewarded those that PTFO with 2x experience

[calm bison]

Battlefield has an in for a penny, in for a pound kind of system

[topaz crown]

I revive, I've always played as part of a team but I agree, I get nothing out of it

[queen violet]

Bring back. Bad company 1.

[calm bison]

There's a reason why people rambo revive in BFV

Because it's rewarding

[queen violet]

And 2.. them days wo funny

[topaz crown]

Bad Company

[calm bison]

I won't deny that there are people that revive in 2042

[sour meadow]

why wouldn't you revive a teammate/squadmate

[calm bison]

But they aren't common

[queen violet]

I travel miles to revive my team

Bare foot.. fields of glass. Just to rev a matey

[hidden sand]

I hope the animation improvements get rid of the janky sprint animation but that's probably too optimistic.

[calm bison]

Why couldn't we get mastery assignments in 2042 like BFV?

[sour meadow]

remember when dice said soldier dragging was coming with bfv

[calm bison]

I got a lot of kills with certain guns in BFV because I liked using them

[queen violet]

I was watching old vid of my playing bf1.. to this bf2042. .. 2042 is shocking

[calm bison]

in 2042 i feel like i have to keep using the gun until I get to T1

like it's a race

except im the only one competing

I only have like 4 guns mastered in BF2042

[queen violet]

Basics graphics. Ps4.. but on a larger scale

[calm bison]

In BFV I have like 10

[hidden sand]

Wouldn't have made sense. BF is too fast paced for that to actually be viable.

[calm bison]

Maybe more

[ripe hedge]

I cant, i work in weapons BUT i can share your feedback with the apropriate people 🙂

[queen violet]

What you lot use.. ps5/pc ?

[hidden sand]

Not to mention, if a player was in a spot where they needed to be dragged, you'd likely get shot down in the process of getting them.

[hexed mango]

pc

[hidden sand]

Can you pass on that allowing unoccupied vehicles to be locked onto now removes the single way tanks could counter agms?

[calm bison]

Can we get a feature where we lock vehicles to squadmates?

So that randoms don't hop in and give away our location

of course this option can exclude transports

but things like tanks and jeeps

[lament plank]

So lemme get this straight. “It's no longer possible to deploy the OV-P Recon Drone in elevators which allows players to see through walls. This will now instead destroy the drone.” Can destroy the drone in an elevator, but they still can’t program it to destroy the drone if C5 is placed on/near it….riiiiggghhhttt…..

[queen violet]

I tride the pc.. ended up puttin a playstaion Controller on it.. i use the gpus for other things now

[arctic grove]

bf3/bf4/bfh vehicle spawn was the best

[hidden sand]

Gotta love just how many things tanks have to deal with that after 8 months they still won't bother to improve on. In fact, seems like they're hellbent on making it worse.

[queen violet]

Years agao. I was a full blown pc head.. conveted to ps3.. was stange using a. Controller lol.. my thumbs hahaha. ..

Now cant use keyboard.. must be a 100 keys to use

Ya need 10 fingers each side

[arctic grove]

WASD Z/Y F G E R CTRL SPACE SHIFT

all you need

[queen violet]

My son chats to me not even lookin at keyboard. Lol

[arctic grove]

and maybe the Function Keys (F1-F12)

[queen violet]

All i use on ps5. Is left finger and right finger

[arctic grove]

its not hard to learn keyboard

its hard to adapt to other one

[queen violet]

🤪👆

Its all good fun..

[arctic grove]

bcs every keyboard have different sizes and position of keys

for example on my keyboard i can type without looking

but when i switch to typical office one

then i need to look up

bcs keys are in slightly different position

[arctic grove]

will never happen

[queen violet]

Mi keyboard was 150£

Coolermaster. Can play snakes onit

[arctic grove]

i paid for mine like idk 40€

noname mechanical one

and i swear its better than overpirced razers or corshairs

[queen violet]

I game on ps5 and mine on pcs.

Lets make the passable passable 😂

Sick of hearing that. Voice

[marble wing]

So, no mention in the patch notes of the season badge not progressing correctly, right?

[marble rivet]

Its 2042, I'd just wish ppl would use their mics more haha

[queen violet]

Years ago…. Befor alll this. Viop. Bs. And private group chat…. Thats how i used to make friends

[elder patrol]

Spaghetti

Now…. Everything. Is locked.. private chat.. ..

Soon as i heard a mic. Id pop mine on.. oioi …. Now. Games are shit..

[marble rivet]

not even saying that. lol. Ppl dont even use in game voice. And all i wanna do is Win T-T

[queen violet]

Bf3. Was funny…. Could hear ya mic. As you was joining…. Hahah trollin. Fekers. Who just kicked ya.. oh them days

[lament plank]

So the condors 50mm gets nerfed, and yet the hind doesn’t????

[arctic grove]

+1 idk what was DICE thinking

[queen violet]

Condor…. Transport …. If…only players used it as that

[arctic grove]

MAV is underrated

[silk surge]

"Multiple vehicle balance changes such as a reduction in power for the MV38-Condor’s 50mm Cannon"

They're only nerfing Condor???? That's literally the weaker transport chopper.

[arctic grove]

it has vtol cmon

[royal trail]

bsv-m was buffed in long-range action, nice

[lament plank]

Hind is also transport? They both have same weapons. They make a point to say both tanks when talking about their changes and yet hind doesn’t even get mentioned

[arctic grove]

idk why always russians must be the bad

[queen violet]

Should start with multi shot

[arctic grove]

and americans the good one

[queen violet]

The amount of time. I start game. And see player to kill.. and. Booom..

[silk surge]

It's already a laser beam at long range though!!??

[uncut bay]

both the condor and the hind are being nerfed

[queen violet]

1 fekin bullet.

[arctic grove]

in bf4 somehow F35 was better than J-25 and what was that russian jet?

[lament plank]

Yeah because the broken new gun needed a buff…

[royal trail]

[lament plank]

Hmmm where’s it say that? They specifically only say condor in the changelog

[uncut bay]

tweet

[lament plank]

I mean providing the source is better

[uncut bay]

don't have the link but it was one of the things left out of the notes accidentally

don't need to believe me, just telling you

[queen violet]

Here we go

[lament plank]

Ah, why am I not surprised they didn’t proof read these notes lol

[queen violet]

Next. He be saying. We got a 🌈 skin. Next week

[lament plank]

Wonder what else they forgot to put in, and we will play tomorrow and be like SURPRISE

[hexed mango]

if you read further down, it says 50mm on both vehicles gets nerfed

[tame cobalt]

Try asking in the looking for game channels for people who wanna play with mics #lfg-playstation #lfg-xbox #lfg-pc

[queen violet]

Must mean. We get a new gun

[hexed mango]

eventually, but probably not now

[queen violet]

I know that.. 1 map.. season 1

Lmao

[lament plank]

Well I still have it open in my browser from a couple hours ago, clearly they have updated them with the correction

[hexed mango]

tf is up with you and .. and spaces

[drowsy shuttle]

they didn't fix the bug of the kill cam? sometimes it doesn't zoom to the killer....

[queen violet]

And now,.. a woman. Is running tings. On bf2042 😂😂😂😂🌈😂😂😂

[hexed mango]

they said they did, in the notes

[hexed mango]

🤡

[silk surge]

Ayy we're getting Air Superiority mode tomorrow

[drowsy shuttle]

oh i must have skipped ty

[calm bison]

Guys when did DICE get political amirite/s

[modest delta]

Battlefield needs to at the Paladin Tanks and the Russian Rocket trucks and bring back Levolution!!!! I repeat LEVOLUTION!!!! Bring back Gulf or Oman back to karkand tweak the Caspian Border map to the way it was in BF4 where u can control when the tower falls!! Also the bombs detonators that u find also!!

[hidden sand]

Both Condor and Hind, was a mistake in the notes.

[queen violet]

It will come out in season 2….. im not even a woman

Lis. Aka dave

[hidden sand]

Levolution was kind of boring honestly.

[hexed mango]

literally nobody cares or asked

[silk surge]

Thank god

[queen violet]

Thats why the game is trash 😂😂😂😂

Yes indeed lol

[queen violet]

[hexed mango]

[queen violet]

Angel.. never heard of a man called that 😂

[hexed mango]

[lament plank]

Fuck he edited it before I could make a joke about someone named angrl

angel does it again

[lament plank]

Angrl does it again

[queen violet]

Lmao.. to funny. Size of his nose aswll

[silk surge]

Oh no... OP transport choppers are coming to BC2 factions.

[hexed mango]

too*

[queen violet]

It fills my screen

[hidden sand]

DICE don't know how to balance vehicles is the simple answer.

[lament plank]

Yeah…. :/ feels bad

[hexed mango]

maybe they just want them to balanced differently to how you play, because you have a mega skill issue

[tame cobalt]

wats dis

[queen violet]

Everyone is a winner

[hexed mango]

patchnotes... idk lol

[drowsy shuttle]

the game is not trash dude... but its not great either... its an okay game.. its playable.

[tame cobalt]

they're replacing a portal vehicle with a new portal vehicle?

[queen violet]

I can come 1st place with out even killing a player ….. how snowflake is that

[arctic grove]

its 4/10

[hexed mango]

yeah just switching one out for another ig idk

[lament plank]

.. it …… very . Snowflake

[hexed mango]

ur skill is 4/10
skill issue

[arctic grove]

mad

[drowsy shuttle]

i'd say its a 5/10

[silk surge]

MI-24 was the most disgusting air vehicle back in BC2 days... and now its coming to PORTAL.

[hexed mango]

you're mad cause bad

[arctic grove]

mad

[hexed mango]

good

[tame cobalt]

Pog

[silk surge]

That thing cleared lobbies

[tame cobalt]

But why replace the previous bc2 aircraft

[hidden sand]

The hind was essentially a slower attack heli

[arctic grove]

so they made more than 2 vehicles?

wow

[slim junco]

Bad

[hidden sand]

Funnily enough in BF2, it was in the games attack heli role

In the special forces expansion

[hexed mango]

prepare to die

[silk surge]

Yes, but the main gun one shotted 5 people at once.

[hidden sand]

It was really broken

[slim junco]

Rockets go brrr

[silk surge]

Like, literally one shotted. It did like 400 damage on direct hit iirc.

[hexed mango]

shotted

[drowsy shuttle]

no performance improvements were made? thats a bummer... but i guess that wont ever happen... it might get a bit better (like it did since launch) but we wont see ever any major improvements in performance... oh well... it is what it is...

[hexed mango]

skill issue

[lament plank]

Disappointing to see no buffs to wildcat 30mm, maybe if they could actually shred an aircraft they wouldn’t need to nerf the condor/hind or the jets AGM

[hexed mango]

wildcat does not need any buffs

[drowsy shuttle]

you got that 100% right lol

[hexed mango]

MBT needs a buff

[silk surge]

I distinctly remember that MI-24 one shotted tanks when it launched, but they nerfed its vehicle damage eventually.

[lament plank]

Please, it’s 30mm “flak” canons barely even scratch air vehicles

[queen violet]

Anyways. I got go CHat laters. word up ma gingers.

[hexed mango]

no. wc does not need to be buffed

[queen violet]

Ffs. Typo..lol. Laters

[hexed mango]

mhm really... typo

[hidden sand]

Love how the only things tanks get in the patch is a nerf to one of the seater weapons lol

[hexed mango]

i mean tanks will probably be done in the next update

since they did hind now

[lament plank]

It’s missiles as well, are to short range. Like it should be the primary AA of the game, but I’m sure if they posted the stats the main AA is FXMs. The payload/range of a wildcat AA missile should be way bigger than a shoulder fired AA

[hexed mango]

and the kill stuff, pilot, repair, etc, that stuff is all good, doesnt have to be about vehicles all the time

[elder patrol]

So does the 50mm nerf to the condor also affect the Superhind

[drowsy shuttle]

indeed... in bf5 i would see a tank and i would go "oh shit!" in bf 2042 i see a tank and i go "ah meh" lol

[hexed mango]

too*

[tame cobalt]

Anyone got pics of the new added tdm layouts?

[hidden sand]

BFV did tank balance really well.

[hexed mango]

yeah and i 100% agree
but idk they'll get added later

[lament plank]

2?

[hexed mango]

no cause update isnt out yet

[hexed mango]

no that's two

[tame cobalt]

[hidden sand]

People complain about the Tigers dmg capabilities, but that really stemmed from the fact armour angling isn't taught in-game.

[lament plank]

Toe?

[hexed mango]

Tow

[lament plank]

Oh nice the wildcat should have a tow? That’d be neat

[hidden sand]

You can three shot a tiger with the Shermans AP rounds if you hit them in the tracks, while they keep having their dmg decreased by your angle.

Y'know, actual nuanced tank gameplay that wasn't just whoever shot first.

But that's enough from me on tanks today.

[hexed mango]

tow this ass

[hexed mango]

i mean if its anything, they know about tanks being bad

[lament plank]

Uh maybe? Depends how much you weigh I guess?

[silk surge]

I feel like we're slowly regressing back to launch day.

[hexed mango]

i had the same issue with MCOMs, i told sam and alex about it, so, they know something is wrong

however, if that's in portal, it could literally just be a server poop
if that's exodus, then the map could be pooped

[silk surge]

Twas Exodus Conquest.

[hidden sand]

Summary:
Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.
Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).
Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.
Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because you were already dead.

[hexed mango]

tl;dr: skill issue

[ripe hedge]

what in the fuckity fuck

[lament plank]

But really though, it still doesn’t make sense to me that an AA missile fired from a vehicle platform, that’s purpose built to track aircraft, has the same range and damage as a shoulder fired one. FXMs shouldn’t do as much damage as they do, they definitely mixed up the damage outputs on AA missiles

[hidden sand]

In all seriousness this has been happening to me constantly, on last gen.

Honestly can't stomach playing past an hour now because of input delay, bad aim assist, and huge hit detection problems.

[hexed mango]

L + bozo + skill issue + get next gen + L

[hexed mango]

holy shit really>??!?!?

[hidden sand]

Sam, how would you feel about a dmg decrease on the TV Missile?

[hexed mango]

no Way!

lets go!

[low timber]

How much dmg does it even do?

[silk surge]

I will :)

[wary sleet]

Specifically to what? -- the damage differs based on what it hits.

[hexed mango]

nnah please not :(

its already hard enough to T1 her

[frosty mural]

Can we get jets separate from the stealth/attack choppers

[hidden sand]

Tanks only. I've been losing 30-40 health each time I'm hit by one, in the front.

[wary sleet]

It's not something I personally work with, but I'll forward your feedback none the less.

[silk surge]

I think the TV missiles should be buffed. I've played stealth heli for days, and I've never been hit by a single missile, and there have been a lot of them coming at me.

[frosty mural]

much appreciated 🙂

[wary sleet]

Any time :)

[drowsy shuttle]

this ^

[hidden sand]

I'm not sure if that 30-40 dmg is intentional but it has made tanking already worse than it is.

[silk surge]

TV missiles should one shot attack helis tbh.

[arctic grove]

lag compensation issue?

[wary sleet]

I can't say anything in particular as to what we plan etc but we're monitoring what's happening in live today and working closely with our lovely community team-- your thoughts as well as others don't go unheard, I promise you :)

[lament plank]

Separating the jets and helos would be fine, as the attack air having 2 was never the problem. The problem was the lack of AA platform, which is why the wildcat needs to be buffed to better fulfil the AA role

@wary sleet

[wary sleet]

I suspect packet loss of some sort, it's strange that the 2nd enemy in the clip doesn't notice the player firing at them, or walking infront of them.. + the position in which they die / get warped to.. looks a lot like packet loss to me.

[hexed mango]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1517290/reviews/?browsefilter=mostrecent&snr=1_5_100010_&p=1
honestly the recent reviews make me happy, still some negatives, as always, but glad to see some people enjoying it

[frosty mural]

I think adding a bf4 type system to tanks is beneficial, instead of the smoke - like the ads that we had ..sitting ducks now in tanks when you have 4 lis rockets coming your way with some M5 recoiless in the mix

[wary sleet]

Thanks! :) will wrap it up in the same post to the team as @frosty mural 's feedback, as it's in similar vein

[low timber]

Oh yeah, Sam, once again I’m asking Ripple Effect related thing, but the US AA on Noshahr, in BF3 there used to be a door in the… Moonpool? Room that let you get in the AA without having to climb up to the deck.

[sweet barn]

why is there no active protection for tanks, bf3 and bf4 had it, 2042 is set in future yet has worse protection systems on vehicles

[copper shuttle]

Salut à y’a des joueur français sur ps4

[lament plank]

Additionally I notice that you don’t have a little note on your profile like Alex does, so I don’t think many of us know what it is you do?

[wary sleet]

Interesting, able to DM me a pic of the area you're referring to?

[hidden sand]

I'm guessing inexperience from the vehicle team because we're 8 months in and there has been no improvements to them. Hopefully they can improve them.

[silk surge]

I feel like this particular dude died to a transport chopper and made a review out of anger lol

[wary sleet]

I'm a game designer on Specialists & Gadgets

[arctic grove]

Game is playable and has some content now so its expected for the review bombing to stop

[frosty mural]

ohhhhh love it - can't wait for the next support specialist 🙂 - considering we have 3 of each group now (recon, engi, assault)

[hexed mango]

and a god

[little dust]

nerf scatter grenades, and fix lis' rocket reticle ❤️

[lament plank]

Ah neat. So FXM nerf when? Lol. My argument for the wildcat buff is that there’s no way a vehicle based AA should perform the same in damage and range as a shoulder fired one. They shouldn’t be comparable. Sure FXM could fly faster than a wildcat AA but they shouldn’t be doing the same damage

[low timber]

Found you a video instead. DM’ing.

[wary sleet]

Lis Rocket reticle? not sure I understand the issue on that one? :o

[hexed mango]

no, it needs to stand as a good counter for the hind, nerf would ruin that and make hind unstoppable again

[frosty mural]

use irish's trophy system 🙂

[little dust]

it's displaying team color instead of reticle color

[wary sleet]

Do you think that's for the FXM to be nerfed, or the Wildcat to be buffed? genuinely curious as to how you perceive it ^^

[hexed mango]

neither. Buff MBT, Apache, Nightbird, jets.

[low timber]

I’d say wildcat buff

[hexed mango]

but WC buff wouldnt be bad lol

[wary sleet]

Ahhhh right I see, okay.. we made this decision as the reticle changes to yellow to mark out of range-- would be a slight problem if your default was yellow.. but it's not impossible to adjust of course-- will note your feedback down, but I can't make promises

[low timber]

As in BF3 Portal side the handheld ones have ~600m range and the Tunguska has ~800m range

[little dust]

as i use blue for my team color and magenta as reticle it really messes with me, and makes it super difficult to see the reticle in flight q,p

[lament plank]

Well the FXM damage could be lowered some, to make the wildcat the main AA option for a team. Again a smaller shoulder fired AA would probably fly faster due to lighter payload than one that’s launched from a vehicle. Or added lock on range to a wildcat would be another option, even by 100-150m

[wary sleet]

Ahh right I see the issue, okay :) I'll make a note of it, thanks!

[lament plank]

Even looking at the in game models you can see that the launcher on the wildcats turret is way bigger (even thicc) than the tube on an FXM

[hexed mango]

yeah but like FXM should still be a good counter, as the hind shouldnt only be able to be countered by the WC.

[little dust]

❤️ thank you

[ripe hedge]

you have no idea

[wary sleet]

😳 👉 👈 ... but sir, you dropped your crown.. 👑

[low timber]

Give those two a cookie 🍪

[lament plank]

I mean considering a good portion of player base runs FXM, even with a small damage nerf you’d still be getting lit up by 2-3 people at a time

[hexed mango]

WC should just get buffed, and FXM should stay as it is, WC should be the powerful choice, something that will 100% get the job done, strong
but FXM should still be a useful tool for infantry to be able to protect against air

[hidden sand]

EMP Grenades should go honestly. It's kind of silly that you can toss a grenade in a tanks general direction and completely disable it.

If movement wasn't like going through molasses in them, it wouldn't be so bad.

[hexed mango]

sam has some good points on the emp grenades

[hidden sand]

Genuinely curious as to what those are tbh.

[tame cobalt]

I'm s rank now and still never used irish shootdown sentinel

[sour meadow]

what does S stand for in S rank?

[tame cobalt]

Sexy

[lament plank]

Even being able to fire the WC missiles in a faster sequence would help, but it has quite the long cycle time to fire the second one. Like in theory they are pre loaded launchers. The old AAs of BF4 could rapid fire their missiles. Most of the time if I fire one and they pop flares, by the time I can fire a second one and it tracks to target, their flares are off cooldown (assuming they fly in a straightish line away from me)

[wary sleet]

I guess my points were more generic toward EMP & Hacking than anything, in that they're actually very strong gameplay wise-- but they don't feel rewarding to use, the sense of impact is just not quite there.. It's not overly clear what the grenade or hack actually did to the machine you impacted.

[tame cobalt]

tru

[lament plank]

Srank

[digital portal]

Prank

[hidden sand]

I don't think they need to be, the less use of them the better. That sounds unreasonable, but when I'm required to use the MPAT on tanks, which forces direct hits on infantry, I shouldn't be able to lose control of everything other than movement by a easy grenade toss. Same goes for Rao's hack.

[mental delta]

Hey Mister Sam, what's your job in BF games ?

[low timber]

Gadgets and specialists

[wary sleet]

I'm a game designer for Specialists & Gadgets currently ^^

[lament plank]

See, profile note 😂

[hidden sand]

EMP Grenades provide no value to gameplay other than forcing a ground vehicles death.

[digital portal]

Any thought about removing specialists from game?

[hidden sand]

There's no skill involved with them.

[digital portal]

No offense

[tame cobalt]

Make a anti-air EMP

[mental delta]

Ok ok good to know so, anything to say on the new rework on specialists please ? Like it will really change the way we play them or not ?

[lament plank]

Lol that’s already there, it’s on the stealth heli gunner seat, they just need real good aim

[still vault]

Did anyone say anti-air mines?

[ebon fern]

Dude did just my BF close without any warning? o_O

[wary sleet]

No offence taken, I respect your opinion-- many share your view too.. It's a valid one and one that deserves an answer in my opinion.
We have the specialist rework coming up that was mentioned earlier in one of the blog posts, I can't really say much more than this sadly.

[wary sleet]

^ See above, hehe

[digital portal]

Nah thats cool thanks for answer cheers

[tame cobalt]

[hidden sand]

I'm just glad the MBT LAW isn't in the game lol. Even if it kind of is with Sundances grenades, which are a pain.

[mental delta]

Lol season 2 that's it ?

[lament plank]

Is there any talks going on about soflam buffs. It would be nice if a soflammed target had a longer acquisition range for example. Like if I’m semi ahead of someone and can get them an extra 100m of lock on range etc. thoughts?

[turbid badger]

will spectator mode, and a viable server browser be added to this game

[wary sleet]

I'm not sure I understand your question :o ..

[low timber]

I miss Soflams ability to allow lock on trough walls

[tame cobalt]

How do these work in game? Why are they strong against aircraft? I saw an old thread where people recommended them as the best aa gadget

[hidden sand]

I just did this a few matches ago. Maybe it's a bug?

[wary sleet]

As in like, leading your designation so to say? 🤔 akin to a sniper or something?

[low timber]

It is sadly

[hidden sand]

Rip.

[low timber]

Tho we are lacking a launcher that would use it to its advantage, example Javelin.

[still vault]

You can have 1 up at a time, basically just shoots an AA rocket if any air vehicle comes close enough

[turbid badger]

will spectator mode, and a viable server browser be added to this game

?

[low timber]

I thought you could have 2 on the ground at a time

[tame cobalt]

does it reload?

[dapper river]

So anyone remember the pre-0.4 game start music on 2042 maps? Was that intentionally removed? Is it only an issue on my end? I get no music when a round begins on a 2042 map. This bothers me as that music was pretty good at getting you pumped up

[tame cobalt]

Agreed

[still vault]

Might be 2, but remember it as 1. And no, it doesn't reload. You have to find ammo and place another.

[low timber]

It’s a mine, so it breaks after use

[lament plank]

Kind of? More like I’d be a middle man. Other player out of range to hit a transport hovering over point X, but I’m closer at like the 350m. Player with FXM or M5 is 500m away from transport. But if I soflam them with my closer range, they can ping off that to close the gap instead of having to run 100+m to get a lock

[wary sleet]

Ahhh okay, so a designated target can be locked on at further range, in essence?

[slender gull]

I can't seem to figure out any extra information about this, and since you work on the specific thing I'm wondering about...figured you'd be the best person to ask.

The official article said that Sundance's EMP was removed because it was [paraphrased] confusing new players, and I'm just wondering if this was the actual reason (because it comes off as strange to me), or was it because she was overtuned and her kit had too much versatility?

[lament plank]

Yes exactly

[hidden sand]

I just hope the EMP is being looked at for a nerf.

[lament plank]

As someone who just grinded out soflam T1, I did notice that most of the vehicles I’d target didn’t get destroyed to often, perhaps that would assist

[low timber]

Actually, what’s the logic behind Soflam not being able to lock on to stealth helis in stealth modes? Like isn’t the missiles going for a laser pointed at the heli and not the heli itself?

[little dust]

@wary sleet ik it's cliche but personally would love to see a japanese specialist that specializes in stealth, like low-no footstep sounds and an active to hide from radar, and a movement based medic e.g a double amputee with prosthetic legs that can jump high or something 😛

[still vault]

I think EMP is fine. There are just many of them due to this weeks mission.

[mental delta]

Ho sorry, I meant we will see specialists rework during season 2 right ?

[digital portal]

Class based rework i hope

[drowsy shuttle]

i agree... i'd say 90% of the players wont use it... and i think was one of the reasons why they remove it from sundance grenades...

[dapper river]

they were reworked, Rao and Paik. :)

[mental delta]

?

[tame cobalt]

hopefully not restricting weapons too much.

[hexed mango]

rework as in visuals, not gadgets @dapper river

[wary sleet]

Yeah sure, can talk a little to that decision;

It's two pronged really, we have seen players find character gadgets that have multiple selections.. Irish, Sundance etc as being quite a confusing experience for a lot of players, it's not a brilliant flow.. And having 3 different types of grenades on Sundance lead to the scenario a lot of time where.. "Ahh I want this nade! .. Ahh wait, which one do I have.. how many times do I have to cycle through to get the one I want?! " -- reducing this to 2 options made this flow a lot more simple.

It's either A or B... the latter part of what i mentioned is nullified.

The other prong is like you mention, Sundance has a lot to their disposal, a wingsuit, solid scatter grenade that is arguably a lil'too OP even still :D .. an anti armor nade that can kill vehicles, then they had the EMP nade ontop of this..

[hidden sand]

The EMP can completely disable a tanks functions outside of movement, that's objectively unbalanced. No real argument about it tbh.

[digital portal]

They still restricting weapon when you use lis

[hidden sand]

Tanks are incredibly weak and you still need an EMP to take it out? No thank you.

[digital portal]

Class is only way

[hexed mango]

which is why they should be kept

[tame cobalt]

I'm more ok with gadget restrictions than weapon restrictions

[hexed mango]

only 2 launchers

[digital portal]

Miss understood sorry

[wary sleet]

I can't comment on any dates for when you'll hear about this-- it's not for me to decide.

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah i thought so and was a great decision... Sundance is my most played specialist, and many times i would threw the EMP granade thinking i had the frag or anti-armor lol so yeah was a nice change..

[tame cobalt]

The only reasonable weapon restriction is to keep snipers away from support gadgets.

[dapper river]

It's a small thing, but I'd like to be able to swap sundance nade types even while it's on cooldown, so when the cooldown finishes I can immediately throw the nade I want.

[lament plank]

Perhaps the EMP concept needs a re work overall. Like emp grenades only affect vehicle movement, but not weapons systems, where as a recon drone/rao hack job stops weapons firings and not movement

[hexed mango]

yes, but her EMP grenade was pretty fricking good, having an emp that can last for a long time, like kinda op

[mental delta]

Ok ok, I hope it will be soon

[hidden sand]

The EMP reversing your controls is a better option

Because that way, a skilled player can still deal with it.

[wary sleet]

i getcha, I'll keep note of your feedback ^^ thanks for that!

[uncut bay]

that'd be nice

[hallow sierra]

does anyone have the patch notes link for tmrw

That clears it up a whole lot better than the article, because I didn't really understand what exactly they meant by it being confusing, so I very much appreciate the response!

And yeah, now that I think of it, it did get a little "busy" when choosing grenades to use, especially when you needed one quickly. The swapping is already fast, but as I'm sure you're already very aware, some decisions need to be made in-game with split-second reaction times. 😄

[hexed mango]

it will be nerfed in 1.1 [tomorrow]

[tame cobalt]

Control reversing is too easy to overcome. It'll only have an effect on vehicle noobs.

[digital portal]

Stealth bias too?

[lament plank]

Additionally emp shouldn’t effect gunner seats. If you had someone on your .50cal who could actually defend you while tank or whatever is EMPd then it might cause less instant death

[foggy halo]

good

[wary sleet]

Definitely controversial! We see a lot of feedback regarding footsteps-- it particularly drives frustration when you can't hear someone approaching you so I think generally we'd want to avoid that sort of experience-- interesting idea though!

[hidden sand]

Sure, but an EMP forcing your death like it does now is far worse.

[digital portal]

Stealth heli is most OP thing

[hidden sand]

At least that would confuse you a bit while giving you time to act on it.

You shouldn't be forced into dying.

[hexed mango]

play rao. ez.

[drowsy shuttle]

imo could be a little bit faster and smooth

[dapper river]

not if it says hello to my dual 30mm

[lament plank]

I mean if it’s a specialist ability it could function like…uh I think there’s an apex character? That it’s like hey 10 seconds of silence and then cool down for a good while as to not spam it

[hidden sand]

"we'd want to avoid that sort of experience"
Based and redpilled

[quiet shell]

Have you considered a specialist that has a sword similar to the Katana from BFV's pacific DLC

[hidden sand]

Silence abilities, no thank you.

[foggy halo]

Stealth heli is balanced

[tame cobalt]

Maybe some randomised controls changes and then putting the new controls on the screen each time?

[digital portal]

How

[foggy halo]

why not?

[hidden sand]

A specialist having a sword doesn't make much sense imo. Would be better fit as it was in BFV, a battle pickup.

[hallow sierra]

wait so the fxm can now hit helis if their in shelth state

[tame cobalt]

This is why Sam is the game designer and not us

[lament plank]

I mean…we have one with a shield lol

[digital portal]

Counter anything

[wary sleet]

No worries! If there's any other questions feel free to reach out (goes to anyone really!) .. the patch notes have to be digestible and concise, so it's not the place to get a very indepth explanation on every change I'll admit (some do demand it of course!) :)

Yeah absolutely :D hehe I mean we're talking even on as low as 0.02ms~ levels of response time being problematic at points when it comes to deploy times and being able to toggle things etc.. Having that extra option really threw a spanner in things 😅

[hexed mango]

this is why sam is god and not us

[hidden sand]

Yeah and I think it's a waste of a specialist ability.

[slender gull]

Absolutely! And thanks again!

[digital portal]

Nice

[sharp marten]

These fixes coming out seem pretty awesome tbh

[foggy halo]

not other helis

[wary sleet]

Aaaahh the Katannnaaaa ❤️ ... I can't speak to anything we've considered but we do remember that weapon fondly!

[hexed mango]

what if i just dont go to university and join you as a designer

[sharp marten]

Dice making money moves

[digital portal]

They can easily

[wary sleet]

We're hiring! 😁

[tame cobalt]

When are yall gonna add a specialist with a hoverboard for increased movement... Basically like extreme version of traversal sprint?

[hexed mango]

i would apply if i wasnt going into my last year of highschool

[hidden sand]

Wish we could attach a flamethrower to the tanks.

[mental delta]

Well never I hope ?

[hidden sand]

I miss my CQC Sherman flamethrower tank from BFV.

[tame cobalt]

soon i hope

[quiet shell]

A scottish specialist with a william wallace sword and maybe a piece of medieval armor would go hard as fuck, and maybe make the sword do slight damage to tanks 😄

[wary sleet]

It could behave like this yes, but consider the victim in the scenario... Even if you had a somewhat 'cold blooded' perk equivalent where you press it and your footsteps go mute.. The victim in the equation will not get this experience.. The only experience they'll get is "WHAT THE HELL I GOT SHOT IN THE BACK AND I DIDNT HEAR SH*T .. DICE PLS " :D

[low timber]

Flamethrower underbarrel like in Black Ops 1

[hexed mango]

i want to

[digital portal]

Oh no the katana bois

[mental delta]

Is there any character from a previous Battlefield title who is planned to be a specialist in this game

[hidden sand]

Yup. Silence abilities are naturally unfair and have no place in FPS games, imo.

[digital portal]

I cant wait to see 64 killstreak frags in exposure

[quiet shell]

I do remember the cut content leaks from BFV from before it's launch included medieval cosmetics

[wary sleet]

I cannot speak to anything of the future. 😅 you're asking me to risk my job.

[mental delta]

I would hate that

[hidden sand]

You should always be able to counter a flank.

[tame cobalt]

Why u asking questions u know u won't get answers to?

[lament plank]

I suppose so. Then again same can be said for “how did they know I was behind that corner” with paik or Casper

[tame cobalt]

I would love it

[hidden sand]

Well she becomes spotted on the minimap, and you have a giant sign telling you "YOU ARE SPOTTED" in the middle of your screen.

[mental delta]

I know and I just think that I am asking you to risk your job with every question I ask lmao, sorry I'll just stop here I guess

[wary sleet]

While true, we display with Paik's scanner that you've been revealed so you're made aware that your location is compromised.

Casper is a bit ambigous it's a 360 degree sphere that sits ontop of him that scans when enemies around him move.. it doesn't necessarily tell you where the enemy is.

[turbid badger]

stealth helis are broken af

[low timber]

I’m not expecting old games characters coming as current specialist are all from different nationality so I’m expecting them to continue that, and we already have an US and RU specialists, Irish and Boris.

[mental delta]

I have put 10 points in charisma so it could work

[ebon fern]

Like the graphics are nice in this game, but gameplay especially Jets?? Like why is my jet almost stalling when doing a loop? Who wants to wait 10 seconds in an arcade game to finish the jet turn?

[lament plank]

Fair. The stealth idea is neat though.

[little dust]

with how the game spawns work idk if that'd actually matter lol if anything it's catering to people who have better sound, and can get positional cues better..

[wary sleet]

I agree it's a space that we don't really have in the specialist line up, but it treads on a lot of very fine lines when it comes to a fast paced game with as many players as Battlefield allows in a match :)

[mental delta]

Maybe you'll have it in the next BF game's campaign

[low timber]

Actually, why hasn’t Dice, a Swedish studio made a Swedish specialist?

[tame cobalt]

Want in this game's mp

[hidden sand]

Could you technically have Irish's (Albeit an invisible version) APS spawn on tanks with increased range and have that be tanks APS?

Not requesting a feature. Just curious about that LOL.

[wary sleet]

Hehe sorry, maybe my comment came across as quite brash-- I didn't mean it that way :D .. I meant it more as an explanation of why i couldn't answer your question :D ❤️ no harm done

[low timber]

Is there anything Swedish in the game actually? In BF4 I remember one smg that looked little bit like a Uzi to be a Swedish gun

[arctic grove]

I think 4 has a Swedish AR

[hidden sand]

The M5 Recoilless is Swedish.

[low timber]

Oh yeah, how did I forget that!

[hidden sand]

Sweden has one of the coolest damn tanks now too, the CV90120 "Ghost"

DICE PLS

[low timber]

The grappling hooks at the BF4 singleplayer ending were Swedish as well.

[hidden sand]

PLS I beg

[foggy halo]

Jets don't exist in bf2042

[hidden sand]

The hover tank is a Swedish tank too.

[low timber]

That was Russian

[sharp marten]

Honestly I wouldn’t opposed of another medic like operator since there’s only two

[wary sleet]

Hehe I doubt it'd just work out of the box if we're hypothetically speaking as in it's not an easy job to pull off, there's lots of other things at play and with how Frostbite works etc

[hidden sand]

Nope, it's based on the Stridsvagn 103.

[arctic grove]

It’s a modified strv 103 which is Swedish

[hidden sand]

Yeah I figured. Just thought it was funny in theory kek.

[low timber]

But it’s still Russian

[hidden sand]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ESMscurXYAIxmsr?format=jpg&name=4096x4096

DICE pls

Add the cool swedish tanks

[wary sleet]

Hold my beer while I pop a kickflip off this

[hidden sand]

https://tenor.com/view/world-of-tanks-wot-battle-tank-tanks-gif-22482348

[little dust]

part of why i suggested it & want it is because it would potentially counter some other specialist perks, like casper, rao, paik. i think having certain specialist abilities is nice but there should also be other specialists that directly counter others to some extent.. imo at least

[low timber]

If that gets added I can see people using it as a ramp for the LATV4

[tame cobalt]

I think a movement boost passive would be sick. Function like an added layer to traversal sprint (press sprint another time) But make it so they have even slower ADS time when transitioning from it to ADS. No idea which gadget they could make to add a good teamplay synergy to this tho

[hidden sand]

It would be a cool addition. They could make it's depression a perk of it.

[wary sleet]

Yep I agree, like I mentioned I think there is a space there :D "Stealth" is a very broad term.
As for what future specialists hold I can't comment, but we're exploring plenty of avenues and listening to you lovely peeps, rest assured! ❤️

[low timber]

But yeah, tank destroyers would be a neat vehicle class for 2042, not counting wildcat with 57mm cannon.

[fierce gull]

Battlefront 2 in portal when

[lament plank]

Lol I wouldn’t consider a 57 a tank destroying canon…

[hidden sand]

The more tank variety the better.

[little dust]

❤️

[hidden sand]

What we really need is this

https://preview.redd.it/05co05aakjx31.jpg?auto=webp&s=009f5b7ef6c82fee417e01a6352ea772be3afa13

[tame cobalt]

Never

[sharp marten]

Since we’re talking about tanks I maybe a tank with reactive armor 👀 or add reactive armor to all tanks?

[hidden sand]

Jagdbrams

[arctic grove]

Sam, could you potentially pass on a request for an ability to play 128 game modes in solo/co-op? I figure that I could at least have the freedom to be able to play 128 with bots at some point

[foggy halo]

good suggestion, but probably not going to happen

they won't add ecm jammer too

[tame cobalt]

frustrating
mortar

[arctic grove]

More tank options like reactive armor would be cool

[hidden sand]

Why do people want mortars

[tame cobalt]

Skill issue

[arctic grove]

Mortars aren’t frustrating

You sit in one spot and shoot from it too

[sharp marten]

Because everything kills a tank literally everything

[arctic grove]

It’s easy to not get kills if your targets just move

[tame cobalt]

He said armour and edited to mortars

[hidden sand]

I meant mortars there lol

[hexed mango]

sam, you should totally ask someone to add F-22 and B-2 stealth in the game

[arctic grove]

Tanks definitely need more support. It’s still incredibly easy to get 100% flanked by a sundance and say goodbye turret

And you literally won’t know

[hidden sand]

Secondary ammunition is desperately needed in tanks too.

We should be able to have HE and AP at the same time, imo.

[low timber]

Well it is extremely easy to get C5 from point A to point B in this game

[sharp marten]

This^

[hidden sand]

It worked just fine in BFV.

[arctic grove]

I think that’s still a major balancing problem too

[mental delta]

@wary sleet Is there anything planned to reduce G-84 impact on ground vehicles please ? Like I get shot a lot with them as a tank player and it's frightening because people all play it that way instead of locking up on helicopters

[tame cobalt]

[arctic grove]

Armor is so rare because all you’ve got to do is fly across the map and place a few funny c5

[wary sleet]

In your opinions, what would help tanks in this scenario? .. Disclaimer: I don't work on vehicles, but i'm curious as to what solutions you think would be good to solve that.. Happy to put your feedback together and send it onto the vehicle team... if you feel it's for vehicles to work on, maybe you feel gadgets are the issue-- in which case i'll note them for myself :D

[wary sleet]

^ Ties into the above! :D

[arctic grove]

No more sundance and c5

[sharp marten]

Reactive armor maybe a ADS system I think it’s spelled ads

[craggy forum]

They should add the a10 and frog foot to AOW

[still vault]

I would love a tank with mecanum wheels.
Seems like a futuristic in-between of the current tanks and the hover ones in 2142.

[arctic grove]

Or reduced so she can’t kill tanks with them alone

[foggy halo]

reduce c5s throwing distance

[hexed mango]

general improvements to tanks would be nice, just making them stronger, more powerful, more gadgets on them (like reactive armor or aps)

[foggy halo]

also remove c5 drones

[craggy forum]

And add portal weapons to aow

[tame cobalt]

Buff c5 throwing distance

[arctic grove]

C4 distance in past games was super small

[tame cobalt]

@wary sleet please

[arctic grove]

Please get rid of the c5 drones yeah

[low timber]

You can already throw to C5 to orbit

[mental delta]

Some kind of reactive armour or just nerf the damages G-84 makes on ground vehicles because people are just looking for easy kills and just lock on tanks with the big RPG

[arctic grove]

It’s literally unplayable

[lament plank]

i mean...,.considering at the moment most anti tank weapons are designed to go through reactive armor...i imagine 20ish years from now itll be the same

or top down

[hallow sierra]

i wonder how the bsv would be after this update

[wary sleet]

Thanks all :D collated it

[arctic grove]

No more c5 drones, sundance can’t carry 3 c5, (I’d be fine with her needing to use the anti vehicle grenades, at least then I can compete. Right now it’s too easy to get flanked and die), adjusted damage values to the G84 vs all armor (more incentive for M5 against armor again)

[mossy badge]

please add dominos, kfc, mcdonalds, subway, taco bell MAPS thanks you ❤️

[low timber]

Also jets AGM is a pain when in a tank, but let’s see how tomorrow patch actually affect it.

[wary sleet]

how are you gonna forget burger king?

[mossy badge]

sorry add that one too

[arctic grove]

And maybe remove the passive Regen of lis rockets and have her locked to just 4 rockets, and have her need to resupply for more

[hidden sand]

APS that you can control at anytime, but it has non-regenerative stamina, until you use it all and it has a 30-40 second refresh. I say this, because APS the way it is in BF4 will not work on these maps. There's simply too little cover to retreat too, and too many helis can simply hover over you.

Multiple ammunition types would be really beneficial too, because "AP, HMG" being the only viable option is extremely boring and limits your playstyle severely. Vehicles should be interesting, and provide unique experiences in each one. Amour angling is desperately needed too, because without it, it's become whoever shoots first wins. I, as a valentine, was able to out maneuver and kill a tiger in BFV simply because of how I could use the angling and round types.

[ripe hedge]

damn we really gotta take one of the vehicle designers in here

[wise zodiac]

Hi all

=]

[arctic grove]

Also Sam, curious question, is it possible to pass on 128 being gameplay options in solo/coop again?

[wary sleet]

I'm gathering it all up for them! 😁

[low timber]

Is he the one?

[fierce gull]

So when am I able to equip foregrip and laser sight at the same time for my guns

[wary sleet]

As in have it be possible to play 128p BT in a solo/co-op vs AI exp?

[wise zodiac]

More air vehicles!

Can we add an IFV?

[low timber]

Congratulations RevelatioN, you are now a vehicle designer

[arctic grove]

And conquest as well, if at all possible

[wise zodiac]

Bradley IFV would be awesome.

[wary sleet]

Sure, no harm in giving feedback ^^

[hidden sand]

Too add onto this, no C5 Drones, and Sundance absolutely should not be able to carry C5. They can hover over tanks no issue and wipe them out.

[wise zodiac]

Woah! I'm a developer with no idea of what I'm doing!

[hidden sand]

I'm honestly really curious on why removing the C5 drone has been so difficult.

[wary sleet]

Just wait till you load the editor 😁

[arctic grove]

I figure that we should at least have 128 BT/CQ freedom with the bots, I really appreciate acknowledging this

[low timber]

I remember Dice saying last year that they’d remove it in the January patch.

[wary sleet]

It's a controversial topic.. for every person that hates it-- there's one that likes it.

[hexed mango]

@wary sleet <3

[wary sleet]

To which we saw an overwhelming volume of people saying they wanted it to remain 😅

We have plans for it, that's all I can say to the C5 drone topic

[arctic grove]

It’s great for more casual play without having to adjust to 64, I understand the 128 to 64 changes made in AOW Vs players, but against bots they can at least be options

[slender gull]

Honestly, APS in BF4 was super annoying. I might be one of the few, but even as a ground player (infantry/ground vehicles), it felt like that alone really broke the balance of it all. A good tanker can still go 60-0 and wreck the whole shop apart, but now they just don't get invincibility that they can pop at will (with a cooldown, but still).

At the same time, increasing the armor/health of tanks while lowering rocket damage to compensate for the lack of APS...I mean... You get BFV. Hill-humping tanks that just camp the whole game shelling the entire map farming kills.

I fully agree that there needs to be an aggressive option for tanks, but at the same time, both of these solutions are...questionable at best as to how they would work in BF2042.

[low timber]

I don’t, it’s zero risk way of getting guaranteed ohk on tanks

[hidden sand]

It's unmistakably a broken mechanic. There's no arguing with it, and I'm shocked that there is internal diagreement on that.

[foggy halo]

Jets and helis flying mechanics should be improved

[wary sleet]

By no means is it an internal disagreement.. It's the community that were vocally divided 😅

[low timber]

Even as infantry, you can’t survive a C5 drone as a Dozer if they have more than 1 C5 stuck on it.

[foggy halo]

add rocketpods to jets and make them fly like in bf3

[arctic grove]

APS lasted against one good rocket or shell in 4, that playstyle can still be completely decimated via air vehicles so I don’t think we’ll be seeing 60-0 again

[hidden sand]

Sheesh. I think that comes the time where you guys just say no and that you know better then. But I guess that wouldn't go well either.

[wary sleet]

This is why we have plans for it 😁

[foggy halo]

Also add ecm jammer

[wise zodiac]

We should get IFVs. Infantry Fighting Vehicles. A driver, Gunner, and 6 transport slots in the back.

[low timber]

Like in BF3 beta the C4 MAV was noticed to be too much and removed before launch.

[arctic grove]

I love this idea

[wary sleet]

Oh hello! 😁

[wary sleet]

Noted, as well as your points @foggy halo :)

[arctic grove]

IFVs fire a totally different munition than the Wildcat so I don’t think of the wildcat as an IFV, plus transport slots

[hidden sand]

My thing about vehicles is that they should all have unique roles, with unique sub roles below that. The way BFV did it.

[lucid goblet]

Would be cool if we were able to Mount Irish's APS on ground vehicles, would help counter the rocket spam

[wise zodiac]

The Wildcat isn't an IFV.

It's just a mobile AA gun.

[silk surge]

Wait what 😂

[lament plank]

wellll......is it though.... (we talked at length about this earlier)

[arctic grove]

I’ve seen some infer they’re unnecessary because of the wildcat

[hidden sand]

I hope they fictionalize vehicles more and give them things that make them interesting. Even if untrue to real life.

[wary sleet]

😂 Yeaaaaaaaaah... that was my faulllttttt... xD

[arctic grove]

That’s what i meant

[slender gull]

An "easy" (game dev is never easy, but still) fix would be to remove the collision from the drone for everything but players, the ground, and buildings...or whatever else would be logical to collide with.

[hidden sand]

Y'know what we really need Sam

To become the tv missile

BF4 style

[wary sleet]

https://giphy.com/gifs/reactiongifs-LRVnPYqM8DLag

[wise zodiac]

I mean, the Wildcat isn't really an infantry fighting vehicle. I can't put 6-8 guys in the back and rush an OBJ.

[slender gull]

Being able to attach C5 as well as ammo boxes/medkits is just... 😅

[silk surge]

To beat a TV missile we have to become a TV missile.

[hidden sand]

It's so fucking funny that you can die if you're tv missile is shot down in bf4

[low timber]

You what?

[wise zodiac]

Can I get mortars?

[wary sleet]

Wouldn't this in theory allow it to fly through all these objects? Could be a little immersion breaking and such I'd imagine? 🤔

[lucid goblet]

Oh also Sam, i need a UAV which can drop teeny tiny INC bombs ontop of snipers..... for reasons

[lament plank]

the wildcat is trying to be to much, and not succeeding at them. either be AA or IFV with 40mm, not both

[silk surge]

I am so stoked for air superiority tomorrow. Haven't played that since BF4.

[wise zodiac]

I'd love to have some mortars.

[wary sleet]

Wonder what reasons those could be! 🤣

[lament plank]

jack of all trades master of none = wildcat

[lucid goblet]

[wise zodiac]

Agreed. Wildcat should be a dedicated AA gun.

[foggy halo]

add jdam bombs to jets

[arctic grove]

Sam, can we potentially get a passenger seat or two on the MAV so it functions more like an actual transport? I’ve noticed to compensate, players had to demand the spotter seat stay open so the MAV could function as intended

JDAM bombs were so fun

Pls add

[lucid goblet]

[wise zodiac]

Mortars

Lol

[low timber]

I’m still hoping for a Jammer gadget, the datamined BFV one got me hopeful, but sadly never came…

[hidden sand]

I just wish the vehicle designers would consider specializations.

[wise zodiac]

That would be neat.

[hidden sand]

Specializations are pretty much perfect for vehicle equipment customization.

[wary sleet]

I don't work with vehicles, but can wrap it up as part of the vehicle feedback yep :P

[hidden sand]

BFV did it so damn well.

[naive trellis]

Absolute unit Sam, hello there!

[arctic grove]

Oh yeah no worries, I intended it as general feedback to pass on, I appreciate that

[wise zodiac]

Well, an IFV like the Bradley has a driver, Gunner, Bradley Commander, and an entire 9 man infantry squad in the back.

[wary sleet]

Oh hello you! 😁

[slender gull]

I mean 100%, it would be really goofy-looking to watch as you throw a C5 at a drone only for it to phase right through it, but while I admit it's not a glamorous approach, it could definitely be a temporary solution.

Also, if I worded that incorrectly, I meant that it would still collide with everything, it just wouldn't be possible to attach things to it.

[naive trellis]

I still owe you a list of feedback, but I caught a lung infection in the meantime haha

[wise zodiac]

12 pax in one vehicle is a bit overkill unless it's a transport helicopter
