That makes sense.
probably a bottleneck
Games not optimized when you have people with top end PCs with 100% cpu and 20% gpu
what?
you want your parts to have similar performance but still a 10400f should be fine with a 1660s
if your cpu is worse than your gpu, your pc will usually perform worse because the cpu cant keep up so to speak
like i said a 10400 should be fine though
idk what to say other than game bad and as long as you arent losing frames its fine
EA/dice moment
It makes sense for this game to require as much power as it does.
i mean
battlefield one looked a hell of a lot better imo
that game doesnt use nearly as much of anything as 2042
it makes sense, but it shouldn't have been released in this condition. Sure, you can explain the massive performance issues, but that doesn't make them acceptable
^
Well 2042 has higher resolution textures and better lighting, it's just that BF1 used photogrammetry
Remember the bffs video where noob said pc has "to much graphics"
so why didnt they use it again?
that too, photogrammetry does wonders
There was a guy from yesterday who explained it well
@fiery dawn REEEEEEE.
ill never understand why companies dont just use what works and looks great
Yeah it sure as hell isn't acceptable Kato.
For sure as hell know I'd clip that shit.
this game looks great but i feel like it doesnt look good enough to merit the awful performance
probably time or budget constraints
You know what.
@hexed mango
it's not about looking good, it's the massively increased scale
yeah true
maps are twice as big with twice as many players, that's also undoubtedly part of the reason why we have less destruction
i actually never thought of that the game is a lot bigger
They were more focused on 128 players and map design rather than aesthetic
Also photogrammetry was much more crucial for WW1 and WW2 games to make it look more authentic.
Different priorities. 2042 maps are so big it just would have been a lot of work for very little payoff
right
the game is a lot of fun, probably one of my favorites right now but the performance kinda ruins it sometimes
battlefield 4 was way too toxic for me to enjoy it
Bf5 PC Oceania is a joke.
guess so. just played with the 886 ๐
wow
It's the outdated gameplay and dlc model that kills BF4 for me
And hes not even a nightbird sweat
Dude 5.51 KD wtf
only ~30k kills with vehicles
That guy will lay you out if you encounter him lol
I don't even understand how you get a 5.0+ KD on infantry. How.
sounds impossible
simply be good
What's your K/D angel
yeah u be that good then lol
i am
mine is 1.99
SAME
u have 6.5 kdr? lol
Wow exactly the same that's funny
yeah
sure lol
it was 2+ before i T1'd the secondary weapons
proof?
2.0 is ridiculously hard
i have 2.07
oh lmao i'm 2.06
Yeah see that's really good, especially on infantry. But like a 6.5?
2.02*
i cannot believe either lol
human KD matters
Idk how that's feasible with all the threats
yeah
oh yeah
its myb possible
im a 2.09, but 1.99 human kd
My human k/d is 1.99 and total is 2.04
what if he play always with squad with 2 medics
I never count my total one because I'm not proud of bots
That's true. A good squad will elevate you to God status.
My human K/d is 3.34.
Do you use vehicles a lot
Same
Not really.
That's insane dude
I'm not even that good on this game.
hes mad
I think you are pretty damn good lmao
Different game.
Vehicles pushed me up by a whole number.
But it's pretty good overall.
Yeah see I don't understand how that's possible in BFV
Because I took the time to learn.
2042 I can understand a high K/D but BFV's infantry combat is pure and untainted.
Look I'm just surprised I have 30K already Skipper lol.
i wonder what my kd would be like if i didnt T1 every weapon
probably double
but pistols and shit like the vcar kinda fucked that up
If I wasn't constantly farmed by vehicles my numbers would be way better.
I'm on PS5 if that makes any difference
I'm surprised I have a 3 K/d in the first place.
vcar messed you up? Gun shreds
I'm just a certified SCAR main.
Only gun that I enjoy.
Lol I can't post pics but youde laugh at my gun stats
Mh you're not some total shithead so it's not a thing to laugh at.
i can
My biggest achievement.
meanwhile me
I try to diversify every once in a while when the moment asks for it.
You are so balanced and well rounded
They must be with a tuk tuk if they ain't then heracy
i only used most weapons to T1 then moved on so yeah
The reason I have kills with pbx and pp-29 is I used them to rank up to unlock MP9
I was thinking of using an assault rifle for once
im tryin to t1 all guns
Just use the SCAR.
atm i did m5,pbx and scar
It's the only one worth your time.
Wanted to try scar but I don't like how my underbarrel is only a grenade launcher
now playin with ak
It's not that bad because at least much isn't sacrificed.
to get it t1
I wish I could do something else
How's the bsv
op
It's too good.
I like how it can be changed so much
The biggest issue is short barreled high powered extended.
yeah
FML
I love doing 95% of the work to shoot someone down and then some other idiot comes along and puts a radar missile in their ass and takes the kill for free
Happens so much
lol
game just started like 3 minutes ago and I have 5 assists already
why ps5 streamers have better frames per sec than my 2k pc with low graphics?
i love when i have 200000 iq move and go flank with surpressor and then some noob from my squad spawns on me and starts shootin like rambo and then we both die
poor optimisation
Bsv fire rate is stupid high for a gun like that
If anything the gl is a benefit
Run the scar with smoke grenades and the smoke grenade launcher, you can have 8 smoke grenades
Also radar missiles hit the target straight through flares half the time its so stupid
no they aren't they're super easy
and i think they do less dmg
play some jet superiority with them it's nuts
whats wrong with heatseekers?
The amount of damage they do.
oh really lol
They don't take skill to use
how many need to land to kill heli?
Yeah this is my issue with modern battlefield tbh
In bf4 I only used the gun on jets
2 but it doesn't matter since you have your gun which can pepper it.
I never liked BF missile and flare mechanics. Missiles were really hard to dodge without flares.
nope
2 never kill heli lol
Missiles should miss a lot more
Unless you're on about the transports that's a completely different league.
Flares should decrease probability of a hit, but still not instantly spoof them.
While missiles shouldn't be 100% chance of hit without flares
Can discord just load this clip?
Catgirl pfp
so yeah
and u have 2 rockets
and u wont kill with 2
then reload
when he uses repair kit
plus flare
which bring us to 2 more rockets
so yeah u need 4 lol
You can pepper with the guns that's the thing. And when your flares run out you barely have any room.
like heli abusers always cry about jets
even tho in this game jets are weakest ever
I'm speaking from a jet perspective ironically.
Jet on jet.
Would be cool if there was an ECM jammer to render jets invisible to the air radar.
I agree that jets are crap in 2042, compared to other modern jets in previous BF games
well bf likes to make heli users superior
Though I won't lie in a jet vs jet gamemode they're brilliant.
in this game its worse ever
yeah
dogfighting is fun, but I can't stand air superiority in this game (at least on the custom server I had it on)
i managed to knock out most of enemy jets
a dogfight in CQ is nice
at least on the server I played, I wound up getting spawn camped with radars and flares didnt do anything ha
in Air superiority
The Radar missiles are obnoxious.
takin the aa gun
Would be cool if they just enabled the guns.
yeah is Wildcat default in Air Superiority?
and then spam the f on them
You can tell who's new to flying when they just use heatseekers.
that blew my mind it was in there
I think your specific variant just had that jeez.
gotcha, maybe that was part of the BS ha
I was just in one where it was just SU57's.
idk i like to use gun for air vehicles and atgm for ground targets
thats my setup for jets
I mean that should be your general consensus.
My current jet loadout in CQ/BT is 25mm + AGMs. I can't really finish off all ground vehicles, but I cna disrupt them a decent amount to help the team, and the 25mms are at least better now
yeah
even tho i dont fly them a lot
the 30mms are so freaking slow. Hell, even compared to other BF games the 25mms are still slow. They used to be lasers nearly in older games
sometimes when i get tired of bein infantry
Man I was averaging about 11 or 12 jet kills per match but this guy just showed up and killed 46 dudes so I only got 5 that round lmao
lol
oh yeah the jet cannons aren't good in this game. IRL all you need is one good strafe to fully disable an enemy fighter
Me too
makes it so much harder to get mastery progress
just use solo to fast upgrade
The velocity of the guns is just miserable.
and hone ur skills
Nah I have all the unlocks already, didnt even need solo for that
but T1 is just not gonna happen haha
the state of jets makes me not want to run them all the time as I would in other BF games
not to mention with only 1 air attack per team
they need to split a bunch of stuff, that for sure
Mobile AA should be its own too
and its not good
right
And these assholes keep intentionally ramming into the ground to deny me kills
haha I am one of them ๐
I've gotten like 20+ "Forced Crash" over the past 2 games
What's the point?
You don't get any reward from it
man yesterday i sniped 2 drivers of condor
to deny you the kill ofc
it was big LOL
You are just denying the other pilot a clean kill and mastery progress
it's a degenerate thing to do
I would never do it
share
Die with honor
sharing is caring lol
If I'm about to be dead then the other guy put up a better fight and he deserves the kill
then be faster
I gain nothing from nose diving and killing myself
its about teamwork tho lol
jumping out of vehicles fucking sucks, should still count towards mastery if the pilot jumped out just before you got the kill
if you let me crash in the ground. you didnt do a very good job killing me
yea thats annoying thing
so many mastery related things are just so poorly thought out
jumpin out of vehicles should be much slower
Doesn't change the fact that you killed yourself just to deny someone else a kill when you were going to die either way
not only have too high magnitudes, but also just the contributions
mastery on specialists are a lot easier now on some and ALOT harder on other
good idea
Again look to BFV for how to do things right. As usual
make people think instead of just spamming a button before dying
Jumping out of planes in that game was perfect timing, and you still got the kill for cowards
Dozier should reward progress for objectives captured and neutralized, since he can be the one to push in.
Lis should have done damage dealt to vehicles instead of only destroys (and of course convert the value equally)
I have T1 on all beside liz. I have no idea how ppl are suppose to get T1 with Borris atm ๐
yeah if they wanna stay and try or get the f out lol
not just spam get out
at last second
dang thats wild. I only have T1 on Rao
and close with falck I think
i've only got t1 for paik
i have t1 on mckay and paik
got t1 on all of them way back. but stoped playing and came back to S1. but Liz dont fit my playstyle. guess ill get the t1 with her too but its hard too. fing tv missile does shit dmg to tanks and hellcats
Custom with Felons.
I gave up on sundance she's too hard
Holy shit yeah. Best wingman ever right there
Tier 1 Mackay, Angel, Falck, Rao and Paik.
You probably saved me 10x over
And someone else I forgot.
Yeah haha.
I just follow where all the jets go.
Here's a tip on what I always do.
Also what controls are you using btw? Because it looks like you are very stable and accurate on the guns
Here's a tip for you on air combat.
Look at your teammates and see if there are any enemy planes on their tail.
I use Space for pitch up and CTRL for pitch down and mouse for rolling. It's really hard to be accurate on the guns though
It can.
Yeah I do that. Easy to pick people off when they are chasing a different target
Wonder if I could use my controller for this
You could.
OnPS5 here, sometimes I notice I have a hard time correcting aim in small amounts
like it kicks a bunch suddenly
For the jets?
There's some weird deadzone for it.
damn
You are not applying thrusters when generally shooting at someone you're behind right?
Yeah that's exactly what happens for me
big jumps I can't make small corrections when aiming
but yeah the big issue for me is since the projectiles arent as fast, I need to make microadjustments, which I cant seem to do, or doing so affects the flight path
and I miss enough shots where I've only done like 25% damage to them. Best cause I take them down to like 10% and they aren't destroyed
I think I just need to practice Air Superiorirt more
I always brake depending on the distance.
interesting
Pull my LS back and try to get some distance.
This helps in 1. So then I don't smash into them and 2. I have enough distance to correct myself just incase they're close to ground.
I also noticed you were using the 30s and barely leading the shots too, so maybe I've been overleading since they feel so slow
It do be like that.
like your crosshair was pretty much at their nose
so that might be whats buggin me up
When they're turning and when they show their body that's your best opportunity.
That's why it's best to climb and strike from above too.
good tips, I appreciate it. Despite having nailed jets in other games I haven't quite wrapped my head around 2042s jets, this will help
If you're too self conscious about where you're aiming.
Look at where you gun to shooting.
Instead of the circle.
But no worries man.
yeah thats been my approach, but I feel like I've always been missing
Yeah it helps to look at the dot.
especially with the 30s
it's a really thing you stop thinking and eventually get the hang of.
i dont do that
mid season should be soon as well i think
There is no mid season content.
wut
I was wondering, where do you find teams that train and play together?
have no idea
there's nothing confirmed, but since we've got some random bits of content (new optics, portal vehicles, apparently there are new portal weapons in the files) it's not unlikely we'll get some more small things through the rest of the season
It wasn't random, they said it when season 1 started.
idk why people treat mid season as like a specific point, that to me basically means anything that comes in the season that wasn't present at the start of the season rather than specifically the 6 week mark
random as in just small stuff not randomly timed
(that said it does make sense to do something at the end of the sixth week if you want to do something big during the season, but i think we'd probably have heard about something like that one way or another by this point - i think the extent will be new 'minor' gameplay items like weapons and vehicles either for aow or portal, not maps and stuff)
A mid season update would be cool but at this point I doubt it.
I wonder what about the weapons they're gonna add from Portal.
An attachment revision would be plenty cool.
Give us the kobra sight and bf4 heavy barrel for automatics.
Those art station images that showed the 2042 rail on them makes me believe It's just stat changes and attachments.
I never saw the weapon parts.
i made a list of what i thought might be likely based on the philosophy of filling niches at one point
Do you have a link to the images please ?
Ohhh could I see the list?
I love how on hardline extended mags for 99% of the weapons just added five more rounds.
It was so good for squeezing out that extra kill.
i think the actual conversion process is slight model changes, giving them the 2042 attachment roster and proper stats (+ cosmetics)
Portal guns in AOW... when dice?
so, this is purely one addition per weapon type and going off the basis of filling a currently unfilled niche in that weapon type:
g3, xm8 lmg, m24 sniper, dao-12, not sure for smgs and dmrs but perhaps the p90 and the m39 emr respectively
Oh yeah the G3 being the heavy rifle for example.
that's not the list i would necessarily pick personally, and obviously i'd hope we get more than one weapon per category, but imo that makes the most sense for covering niches
Yeah.
yeah pretty much
They should add at least 2 guns per gun category
Xm8/Mg36 being the drum mag MG. Quick to reload.
Portal has lots of guns that would fit AOW
so like heavy duty assault rifle/"battle rifle", mag fed lmg, internal magazine sniper rifle, funny loading mechanism, and then the other 2 aren't super unique
honestly the more unique DMR option would be the garand, but i didn't include that because i figured they'd probably focus on bf3/bc2 weapons (or specifically more modern weapons, i know the garand was in bc2 but yk)
Yeah.
The VSS is the most unique.
It's a shame they didn't retroactively add it to the Bad Co 2 Roster.
m416 is one of my personal picks (and based on the artstation images it does have the 2042 rail so it's likely that it'll be added imo), just a nice looking and familiar weapon
It was my first favourite battlefield weapon.
I remember looking it up on the wiki cause I wanted more information..
And then I saw "Oh, It's real?"
"That's so cool!"
lol
And I loved its general design.
someone thought the an94 wasn't real despite it being in like countless video games at this point
To be fair.
Videogames are mostly fiction so.
People are sorta skeptical.
I didn't know that bouncing betties were real.
There's also M416
I thought dozer was a pretty bad pick
until i realized how good his blast resistance and shield were in any engagement
hi everyone i'm in battle with a cheater how can i report the fastest
In game scoreboard.
Roster.
servers down?
most games at least take inspiration from reality (if they're set in the real world at least, and even if they're not, more often than not you can see obvious design cues from real weaponry)
i have seen him for 2 weeks and he is fine when i report in scoreboard
Thanks
keeps saying 1/64 in lobby ๐
Yeah. Past black ops 2 I started it more seriously.
try a different mode
Thanks and hopefully that confirms we will get a new AR in the game soon
What is most popular mode? ๐
sometimes it just locks you into empty lobbies
And is the AN-94 you sent a 2042 version or os it the default one ?
The SMAW has a different sight and some other changes which might mean it's being brought over too.
Nvm
Way just sent that lmfao
I'm a bit slow
Is it the dรฉfaut one the 2042 version ?
why not kalak 74
- Not bad co2.
I just realised those iron sights...
All the weapons you sent ?
@ripe hedge ^^^ yes plz
Yes.
Well that's a lot of weapons
We don't know if they're adding them to the main multi.
This will put a lot more interest in the game to see all those weapons
this one's weird, idk what the big chunk of metal over the receiver is based on lol (might be a real sight mount but it looks funky especially with no sight mounted on it)
But I'm going to assume they're working on something.
YEAH I saw that.
First thought was holographic.
But it's not one.
i don't think it appears in game so it's certainly an interesting detail
They confirmed they would add Portal weapons on AOW
Crazy how much better these models look with good lighting.
I mean, This is the only time we can see these guns without any interference.
i hope they dont decide to drip feed these weapons to us
Who made them ?
Which ones Way?
I thought it was Dice
It's coming to AOW??
zero confirmation
Will we get a AEK
id love bf2042.just old maps.. from bc1/2 all battlefields. 1/2/3/4/5 ๐
but it does have the 2042 rail modelled in that top render
with all new 2042 shizzle
or something that can compete with the K30 in the AR catagoery
will Spectator mode be added
to the game?
it cant get any better.. we have a woman incharge ๐ฉ
of 2042?
they dont even know what a woman is.. so .. whats next in season 2 โค๏ธ
Why can't they just make reg TDM a perma mode?
Top one is coming to AOW for sure
assuming for both 128 and 64?
instead of these RAT Heli modes
today toy can play this mode.. tomorrow that mode.
I doubt it, servers seem to struggle handling 128 as is sometimes
bruh....
They're the same gun.
i think players who play the game / get flags should get more points per effort than 1 timmy from southpark in a chopper .
how do they have all this money and years of prep and they can't even add a spectator mode?
BF4 had it? and that game was ahead of it's time
brutal expectations
ah..
Money > keeping players happy
The game was butchered in pre-production. Game had an identity crisis, they tried to reinvent the wheel and then scrapped a bunch I think
Heli pilots are single brain celled
lol.. players playing the game should be more rewarded
hear me out do
i like 128 players
the maps do...
made it
i want 128 BT Bf3 era
ya remember that timmy hahaha
i hope they don't scrap 128 in the next BF
lmao
DICE has had internal problems starting when a lot of the vet devs left. You could start to see writing on the wall with small BF1 missteps (even though that game was good)
but it started to decline, and leadership did not seem to do a great job
No more 128p.
BF1 missteps?
64p is what dice does best. And the games are better at just 64P.
we need more max players. 128.. ya right there
Planetside 2?
I consider abandoning Battlelog, which was an incredibly rich system and platform, to be a misstep
look at the trailer.. dont even look like the game i play
Battlelog had all of your stats, progression info, clan stuff
That's not remotely a sign of DICE going down hill lol.
64 seems like a downgrade to me
I think it was the start of it, decisions like that
it is downgraded
it was probably cheaper to get rid of it, or they got rid of the people that maintained it
I think it was the start of a cut corners approach
BC3 or 2142 is my bet
even though the BF1 game was still very good
like buyin 500 bhp car.......... gettin home and you only got 100
or mby hardline 2
Dropping battlelog for better accessibility in game is a better choice. I don't think it has anything to do with it being cheaper.
like buying a car based on rendered cinematics instead of waiting to see what the car is actually like lmao
that would be fire
Loading a game through a clunky website is wack.
All I want is the old 64p Titan assault back.
I agree that forced website launching sucks, but the rest of it: stats, profiles, platoons,
Have it done as the last sector even.
its ps3 graphics on a ps5......or a 1080ti on a 3090 ti ya get what i mean
That'd be interesting.
with 128 players ๐
just on a bigger scale
No.
I'd love a 2142 sequel
;o;
Platoons still existed though. Exactly how they did before. Stat profiles did too, just on another website.
if anyone thinks 2042 has ps3 graphics they need to immediately book an appointment with a doctor
The majority of people's CPU's will fry.
in my op the reason 2142 failed was becuz the old heads didn't like it
been playin bf since i was in my dads bag
didn't it come through later though? and did BFV have a stats/social site?
then upgrade to new gen ๐
mby?
Yes, BF1, BFV, and 2042 all have a stat tracker site.
or update the engine?
we need more maps and modes
2042 has a stat tracker site?
Yeah.
Like perma TDM no hardcore boomer vill BS
Not from EA/DICE right?
maybe a rainbow map.. with lots of colours and fancy things
wym by dat
Not everyone have the funds to upgrade to an I7/R7+.
No, but it uses DICEs API for it. It wouldn't be any different.
Like rainbow road
yea.. yellow brick fekin road
Can I play this game now, is it good?
yes game is very good
I think deferring to third parties to take care of that is definitely, again, a sign they intended to cut corners, or at least do it later since they were behind
what ya think next spec is going to be
sup
Another hacker?
Oki
if cod does better then the next BF ima leave for Planetside 2
Bf3 is the best 2042 portal... I think
It's the only reason I still play
Hardcore?
Planetside is great, but they need a new planetside with better graphics.
Nah I'm leaving for bugsnacks๐ญ
Yeah
XD bruh
1942 is better imo
Crazy how the pfp gave it away

bf3 portal < bf3
I love playing as the bomber
Did you put your graphcis on Ultra?
You trippin
sup
I ainโt trippin
I'm on ps4
ADD VEHICLE SLOTS. teams are cursed and I can't do anything
oof Xd
separate jets from attack helis
BF3 truly was awesome
well on PC high to Ultra looks amazing but i see what your coming from
Yesss
100%
Can you change the graphics on ps4?
Need that vehicle ecosystem back! I'd argue same for separating Mobile AA
canโt
I play in mil sim. Bro that's lit. And they have a few settings but not much
not even on ps5
I farm Milsim players for fun >:)
is there a way to tell which mode is the most popular? ๐
Not sure Glue.
I only play bf3 portal
I mean AoW by far, as far as what playlist, hard to say
Though you can check weather or not people are playing it through the weekly challenges.
BreakThrough and allout
Give Exodus conquest a play too.
that to
Yeah Exodus CQ is fantastic
happy to see those maps given some love and being able to advance 2042 progression. Looking forward to seeing Portal weapons added to AoW with progression too
that will be a great use of already existing resources
Yeah
Aow sucks ngl. I think portal is the best
ngl the best Milsim game i ever played was Greg hastings paintball MAX'd
The only thing they needa do to make this game golden is add bf vietnam to portal!
so realstic
Heck, I'd love it if they added some Portal attatchments for 2042 gun use too, with like little challenges you need to unlock each (like how the new BSV-M sight works on the other guns)
or the new TARGET 8T sight
they need better gun skin unlocks
I don't seem to have AoW anymore ๐
I think Hardline had the best gun Skins in any BF game
those will all be in the Season Pass and Store without a doubt
some are pretty nifty, but the best ones are gonna be in the store probably
season pass store players are free crops to farm >:)
wish they made skins you can grind for that showed skill
T1 skins are ez as heck
mby like more metallic colores
the father you get tiers for a certain wep?
just a thought do
Yeah I wouldnt expect it, again that would kidn of defeat the purpose of the season pass and store
It is time we rise up against wildcat users. We must no longer run but just drop a ton of stealth chopper bombs over them and just destroy their ass
well, the tradeoff is the maps and new weapons are free
which I prefer that approach TBH. Less playerbase segmentation
I think nobody is playing right now because it''s 1 am ๐
Can't wait for Friday night BF do >:)
honestly I think Mobile AA needs a damage buff for the AA cannons, but a distance reduction
The stealth heli is the ultimate tank killer.
like, make it be an absolute elimination, so it at the very least can be a zone defense for air
but it cant reach out as far
You can just hover over them, and spam AGMs and 30mms.
yeah, thats another thing, I know physics and all that, but sucks you cant look straght up
surely by 2042 they have figured a way to point up in AA haha
the hover in the sky with a stealth chopper and drop bombs, ESPECIALLY in BT where the defenders dont have an air spawn
its rough
oh snap, I think it's been figured out how to properly calculate your BP points for the Season 1 badge if its not adding correctly
It's a shame that there really aren't many good 1942 maps.
Maybe the only one would be wake island but that's been remade so many times, Which variant is superior?
Are you forgetting
Too many times for my taste haha
Mh?
Bf3 variant looks kinda nice because it's more hilly.
Return to Karkand was just in general an amazing DLC, but Im biased cause I have love and nostalgia for BF2, surprised it was in the pack though, because it wasn't a native BF2 map
Wake Island not only was a remake in BF2, but was not in at launch ha
Yeah I've already guessed two Bf3 maps they could add.
Seine Crossing and Grand Bazaar.
I think I would have preferred Dalian Plant as the 4th map in that DLC, since a lot of people played it being the first alphabetically
Lol yeah.
plus Dalian was a cool map IMO
Coral Sea
Layout doesn't look too bad, Sync.
is 2042 fun yet
Kursk isn't bad either
Spawns were nice and safe and deterred camping. The flags themselves were kind of meh, but the traversal between them was good
bf2 maps > *
as I've said before, I'd pay for all BF2 maps remade in Frostbite haha
whole bf2 game in frostbite
it won't happen, EA is too busy catering to console gamers
ha yup, I said lets do that with just some modernizations: unlimited sprint, weapon customization, etc.
Don't think it's the matter of console gaming.
it is EA
The two bad co maps I reckon they could add would be Isla inocentes and Atacama desert.
Generally in the time I've played them they've played rather well.
sharqi peninsula
loved how that was in B2K in BF3
Modern BF players: wooohoo Metro and Locker

I always call Iron Gator the OG metro
thats the 64 player version mind you ๐
does any one know how dice can detect a cheater now that a spectator mode is no more?
Hits in the nostalgic feels
I'm guessing they use a combination of metrics as well as reports
It was basically Titan Mode before titan mode
Because that map had a unique objective to destroy the enemy carrier first
and how does one report one cheater?
I think you need to pull up the players list
I forget specifically the process
but under Pause there's Squad & Players
there should be a report button in there
I mean, you probably can't, but if there's no clear indicator they are cheating DICE likely wont do anything
I heard about that but nevr had 1942, still, so ahead of its time, Titan mode too
It was like Air Superiority + Titans right? COral Sea...
Yeah
Thats so cool
Basically
I genuinely am surprised 2142 hasn't gotten a remake/sequel, considering "futuristic" could be done really well now
what I'm saying is that before there was a spectator mode and you could observe and than report, but now its just a gut feeling
Hell EA should leverage their studios and have the Respawn folks give tips on how to improve the mech handling, stuff like that
I hope we'll get M16A3 in AOW
I mean, i hear ya ha. But spectator mode likely isn't coming
you could look at stats too, I suppse
Which BF2 map do you like the least?
Probably Zatar
so baisicly 120/0 KD is give away?
could be, not saying it 100% means cheating
but if they are 120-0 vs 48-2
might help influence your decision
@hidden sand I think Zatar suffered a bit from the same issue a lot of the 2042 maps do, of too much open space and sometimes not enough ways to get around
although at least even Zatar had some small semblance of linear progression
Too much water
yeah, granted RHIB boats were mostly plenty available, and APCs were amphibious
Yeah not a fan of Zatar either
Seine crossing...
It looks like a cursed version of Caspian Border
lol I never thought of it that way
speaking of water though, this map was actually pretty dang fun
I'm paly rush on on portal 128 players server, and its total madness now there are dudes that go 30 40 kills with out death, some times is as soon as you spwan you get killed. A week ago it wasn't like that at all
I think the 2042 maps play better
the flag layouts in BF2 were at least really creative which I appreciated
Remastered maps feel like a mess with 2042 stuff
As someone who has only played BF4, 1, V briefly, and 2042, I can confirm the older games had maps
I liked Bf4 maps a lot
Dragon Strike and Naval Assault probably most fun
DLCs
I mean shit, do you even see flag layouts like this anymore in 2042 haha
I love how CQ always had a semi linear progression
flank opportunities, of course
but there was a frontline often established
How many flags do you want
Yes
I never understood why everyone loves Metro or Locker, after the initial engagement it's just shit to play in for the most part
Devils Perch you had the right to left progression of US trying to cap, but also the ability to try to sneak in with a boat
Yeah metro locker had the frontline down, but flanking wasnt really there
It's fun when neither team actually tries to push objectives, otherwise you get spawn trapped and nobody likes a spawntrap
a good BF map IMO has that linear progression, but gives crafty squads the chance to flank and disrupt
2042 on the other hand, I feel most maps don't have that linear progression, so its all free form
hence getting shot from all directions
It kinda works for the larger player count
Makes me want 128 breakthrough back
But it kinda works
@next onyx Have you played 1942?
No.
I think some of the 'inter sector' gameplay is good
Actually that's a lie. I've play very, very little.
Speaking of 1942, why is Al Alamein so shit
The most I've played during the refractor era was Vietnam and 2142.
but I don't know, Hourglass for example, there's no great traversal between flags and no progression, except for maybe in the city
and the stadium
Vietnam
Based
Only wake island has through its many iterations.
Vietnam, outside of the visuals, has aged really well
I just bullied kids in school with the Rocket huey.
Yeah, older maps could get away with more open spaces because weapon accuracy and spread was insane back then haha
It's kind of funny to think about how beamy weapons in Vietnam were
Yeah I only remember the rocket huey.
Than again I bullied people in school in halo and pretty much every game...
Of course you did
Live on
@gray python #streams-and-videos
I enjoyed using the magnum and just pelting people, Once they got close I just smacked them with the shotgun.
That game was fun.
Btw Dead-Sync, FuShe Pass is probably the worst map in BF2 imo
blz
Imagine old BF shotguns working properly
Use the appropriate channel.

Oh I mean in halo but yeah aha.
ah ya know I didn't hate that one, but I can understand. Infantry traversal could be awkward sometimes
ah heck yeah ha
When G36C for 2042 
Jalalabad would be great for Rush/BT
Btw Dead-Sync
Have you ever noticed Lancang Dam from BF4 is just Taraba Quarry?
Just less verticality
An hour later, but look at them rails
I hate strike at karkand though, but not for level design reasons
haha you're right
It is essentially grenade spam, the simulator
POOMBALA!
x1000
I confess I was a Karkand lover like most
speaking of BF2
a while ago I found the BF2Hub thing
I couldnt believe it, but after some work - I was able to fetch my account (that they ported)
and in 2022, I literally played some BF2 rounds
with my same profile and stats
I accidentally stole someone's account 
uh oh! haha
Apparently just by putting in their username, you receive their stats
yeah it was something like that
Awesome that you were able to get it back though
It took me a bit to figure it out, but yeah I was amazingly able to login
I took screengrabs of all my stats pages
that was the first thing I did ha
and now it's crazy because my "Enlisted" date is June 24th 2005 (a few days after launch)
and my Last Battle date is freaking 2022
which is awesome to see that level of preservation
Yup, it's awesome to be able to play it still
When will dice update Rao legendary specialist skin
I think what's most surprising is just how full it can get at times
Very hard to find a decent NA server though
Most of them are EU
Yeah I noticed that
LOVE ROAD RAGE haha
Road Rage would be a good remake to do because afaik it's the only US map in the series
The 3 from that booster are all US
Oh yeah
Road Rage, Op Harvest and, Midnight Sun? I think its called
they even bothered to make US theater music for it which I appreciated ha
and I think you're right about them being the only US maps in series, but Im not 100%% sure
did that take place on I-95? I cant recall
I remember it was meant to be the east coast
I might load that back up and poke around haha
anyway gonna go eat some lunch, thanks for reminiscing about BF2 with me
again, it being my first BF game, so much nostalgia
Ill never forget the feeling I got playing the demo on Oman and going "holy crap this is a game with 64 players all over the map?"
I decided I was gonna buy that game right away after that
Enjoy your meal mate, I'm gonna eat some grenades on the strike at karkand server lol
haha have fun!
See u on the battlefield
Hardline
I count that as a spin off, so I didn't think to include it
Downtown LA map on hardline gives me shanghai vibes
What's everyone favourite map
exposure
BSV Tier 1 acquired. I now give DICE permission to nerf it
I like exposure so gd as you know we're battle is always at c1 I always get a rank up there kill them got 33 other day
Either Kaleidoscope or Orbital
Hey everyone
Dont
Is there a way to change my tank sensitivity so that I donโt turn or move forward when accidentally slightly moving the left joystick
that would be controller deadzones, i'm not sure if you can change them for specifically tanks though or if it's just a global change
Sure thing. I give my permission to DICE to not nerf it.
๐
I am lvl 30 bsv i think
When are we seeing improvements to the air vehicle gameplay, did they mention anything
do you think they will add a specialist whose gadget is just being able to equip second gadget from the regular ones to satisfy all the boomers crying about specialists?
Man... In BF4 a smaw or an RPG felt so good to have in your arsenal as an engineer. I knew if I was lucky enough to hit a chopper or a plane it was down and I could also deal with ground vehicles efficiently, but with this game's weird balancing I have no interest in using a recoilless cos I'll do 5 damage and then get sprayed down, rinse and repeat.
main menu
Recoilless is great at taking down choppers. Not transport helis tho
I have mastery 50+ with the recoilless.
Chat has been wildin lately
i just get the standard "this game sucks" comments in my lobbies
well until i call out how shitty my teammates have consistently been, then the shitters get mad
i just call out peoples lack of skill... i honestly dont think im that good, just most people are THAT bad
I usually just have it off and try to enjoy the game tbh
Can't be bothered to ask for help or point out a mistake someone might be doing anymore
God 11 hours of this game has been on discarded for me
Used to be the only map I would get lol
That map is so bad.
thems fighting words, discarded top 3 for me
ship and swamp area are so fucking fun to fight in
why is it when i join conquest it goes to hazard-zone ??
looking for squad and friends to play with
E girl moment
has any of yโall found a solution to that glitch of stuff not unlocking even though you have 100% progress?
iโve tried getting kills with these guns in multiplayer but itโs still not working
killing other players has fixed it every time for me
does anyone have a fix for the locked unlocked mods?
like i have 176 kills on my gun
but i dont have a mod that i get from 90 kills
Enemy players supposed to be highlighted red (chest region)??? Noticed this on some gameplays but never seen it myself (ps5, rush/conquest on portal, crossplay on)
@hidden sand Look at him fly!
