battlefield-2042

[wheat pecan]

im gonna get 4x16 at like 3200

[fiery shoal]

4x16 is 64gb of ram

[wheat pecan]

yes

i just didt want to say 64 gigabytes of ram spread out equally between 4 slots

[cyan trout]

I think you will see a huge jump in performance. Rest of your rig sounds solid

[wheat pecan]

yeah

my ram is teh oldest part of my rig

i already upgraded once

funnily enough so i could play this fucking game

and look how that turned out

[cyan trout]

Pc building is largely troubleshooting with slow upgrades

Would be cool if games put more effort into optimization but I think that's a naughty word here

[wheat pecan]

when i get more ram im also gonna get a more efficient psu because i only got a bronze one

and i feel like it will pretty much half my electricity bill

[cyan trout]

When I built mine in 2016 I went with a 1200 watt platinum one so I wouldn't have to upgrade it for years

[wheat pecan]

damn you could get one in 2012

*2016

had no idea

thought they were relatively new

[cyan trout]

Yeah mining wasn't as much of a leech on the component market back then

[wheat pecan]

that also must have cost an arm and a leg

[cyan trout]

It was $250. But they are selling on Newegg right now for twice that

[wheat pecan]

jesus fuck

the 750 titanium im looking at rn is £110

[cyan trout]

If you're looking at upgrading in the future I am reading and seeing videos that newer components are going to be power hogs

[wheat pecan]

yeah

not looking to upgrade for a while

newest ill go in the next few years is an amd rx6900xt

because i want to get riud of this nvidia software asap

[fiery shoal]

64gb of ram is absolutely overkill for everything but maybe 3 games

i can almost best youll see less than 1% gains in any metric with much ram in general either

[cyan trout]

First time I have heard anyone frustrated with Nvidia software

[fiery shoal]

i have 32gb at 1440p and even with multiple programs up and playing 2042 i only use 16

[cyan trout]

32 is the way

[fiery shoal]

ram is cheap enough why not? but i literally upgraded from 16gb a few days ago and it just makes things a tad bit smoother

was it worth 55 bucks? ehhhhhhhh... am i worried about 55 bucks? nope

[wheat pecan]

i went from an old amd 590 to my current card and i prefer the amd software so much

[rotund grail]

Anyone else having crash and reboot problems when trying to launch the game or load a map?

[wheat pecan]

cant say i am

could be your settings are too high

it may just be overloading your hardware

[stray bay]

Hey dice
Nerf the DMRs already

they shouldnt 2 tap body or 2 tap headshot with the high fire rate they have

[hexed mango]

yeah. no.

the buff they just got in 1.1 was very well deserving proving that before that update the dm7 and vcar were literally the worst guns in the game

the svk was always good, but never super useful

the only one that needs a nerf is the bsv, just either the ROF or the damage at short range

[fiery dawn]

^

[hexed mango]

also,

[stray bay]

lol
yea nah they shouldnt 2 tap headshot with the fire rate they have]

[hexed mango]

Skill Issue

[fiery dawn]

xD

[hexed mango]

skill issue x2

dm7 is a 3 shot svk is a 2 shot
dm7 has a decent rate of fire, but only the hp/standard ammo gives you that damage
CC ammo is a 4-5 shot

svk's standard and hp are 2 shot, with a slower rof
the cc is again a 4 shot

they are DMRs for a reason, they are supposed to shoot for damage at range with a powerful semi-auto

you can outgun them close up (smg/ar), or super far (sniper)
but they rule the medium range for a reason

[stray bay]

"slower rof" yea ok sure
cause 180 rpm is slow
right.

[hexed mango]

coughs in 450 BSV rpm

[fiery dawn]

Only DMRs that are any good are SVK and BSVM

[wheat pecan]

i remember the dm7 used to take SEVEN OR EIGHT bodyshots at range to kill

[hexed mango]

dm7 is actually pretty good rn

[wheat pecan]

that was unacceptable

[hexed mango]

yeah

[stray bay]

also fuckin nerf all of the helis already

[hexed mango]

the buff was 100% needed

[stray bay]

christ sake

[hexed mango]

only the stealth heli

apache and nightbird have been nerfed enough

[stray bay]

nah

[fiery dawn]

The other helis are trash now comparatively

[wheat pecan]

i really enjoy the look of the dm7 + cqb rounds

[hexed mango]

apache sucks overall aswell

[wheat pecan]

shame it still takes 4 or 5 hsots

[stray bay]

helis dont need window armor

[wide shore]

Conquest of ages should always be featured man

[hexed mango]

there is nothing saying you should use the apache over the nightbird

[wheat pecan]

and cant fo FA

[fiery dawn]

me too actually. like an AR-10

[hexed mango]

they dont but ok

[wheat pecan]

ar 10 is 308 only no

?

dm7 is 556/223

[hexed mango]

yeah that shit is fun

[fiery dawn]

Is it?

[wheat pecan]

its fun

[fiery dawn]

I have no idea

[wheat pecan]

i believe so

ar 15 is the 223/556

[fiery dawn]

Why is DM7 5.56 lol

[wheat pecan]

beacuse its an ar15

[hexed mango]

lmao

[fiery dawn]

DM7 is an AR-15?

[stray bay]

they absolutely do

[fiery dawn]

Why TF is it in the marksman class lol

[wheat pecan]

because even with cq rounds its not full auto

for whatever reason

and ig dice wanted 3 dmrs on release

[fiery dawn]

They should’ve given us an AR-10 then

[wheat pecan]

ar-10s are super weird

and also pretty rare

especially in games

[hexed mango]

DM7 is an AR-15

[stray bay]

https://youtu.be/JFNNqmC5kq0
literally
YES THEY DO

[fiery dawn]

.308 or 6.5 Creedmoor or something

[wheat pecan]

beeg ar15

[hexed mango]

"The weapon is chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO"

[wheat pecan]

thats all an ar10 is

[fiery dawn]

Yeah it’s BF 2042 Dice could invent a new rifle for all I care lol

[wheat pecan]

they did

a few actually

like the ac42

[fiery dawn]

I mean not an advanced version of pre-existed weapons

That’s true I guess

[wheat pecan]

i dont believe taht exists irl

[stray bay]

Also, either the jets are too fast or the TV guided is way too slow

[hexed mango]

you didnt take into account casper's helmet

:)

before you get your panties in a bunch, im joking

[stray bay]

casper????
mus1ck is playing as falck there though

[fiery dawn]

TV missile has a boost option

[stray bay]

yes but its still to slow

[hexed mango]

oh weird i didnt know they had outfits for the pilot then

also that's only 2 shots different
just get better

[stray bay]

when the helis are way too nimble
and are too fast

and the pilot hitboxes are fucked

[wheat pecan]

they need to give fewer flare charges

[hexed mango]

just get better

use an aa launcher

soflam with M5

[wheat pecan]

maybe take less time to lock

[hexed mango]

Rao

[rocky kraken]

Rao😍

[stray bay]

when they can just flare and run out of range faster than you can reload

[wheat pecan]

also bold of you to assume ANYONE is gonna run soflam

[hexed mango]

so use rao.

[stray bay]

same issue

[hexed mango]

no

[wheat pecan]

they can still run

[stray bay]

theyre way too fast

[hexed mango]

yeah but you get rid of the "they can just flare" issue

[wheat pecan]

and keep the main issue

[hexed mango]

so if you're actually fast, you can get them

[wheat pecan]

of

speed

[rocky kraken]

isnt the hind the fastest heli in the game

[stray bay]

and agility

[hexed mango]

so just keep hacking them so they stay away

[wheat pecan]

idk i usually play inf modes for this exact reason

[hexed mango]

also, the only agile heli is the nightbird, and its a nightbird, that's how it was in bf4, nimble

the apache is slow af

[stray bay]

its WAY stronger than bf4

[hexed mango]

so is the hind

it isnt really

[stray bay]

it is

[wheat pecan]

helis feel bs to fight when i have to change my character and loadout just to have fun for 30s while they respawn

[hexed mango]

i think you just lack skill rez

[stray bay]

lmao

[hexed mango]

if you had skill you could take them down easily like i do with rao

[fiery dawn]

The only air vehicles that really feel oppressive now are the stealth helis and sometimes the transports

[rocky kraken]

would you say condor or hind is better?

[fiery dawn]

Hind

[stray bay]

you just dont wanna admit that theyre fuckin OP as hell

[wheat pecan]

yeah

[stray bay]

transports have way too much HP

[hexed mango]

depends. hind is nice cause its an actual heli, but the condor is unique
hind can out maneuver the condor tho

[hexed mango]

they're supposed to be heavy

[fiery dawn]

After the stealth heli 30MM nerf things should be pretty balanced imo

[fiery dawn]

no they don’t

[stray bay]

6 rockets is too much

[wheat pecan]

if you have even a half decent pilot the stealth helis are pretty much invincible

[fiery dawn]

It’s definitely not 6 lmao

[hexed mango]

tbh i dont think they're health should be nerfed. i think if anything just the guns should be reduced
they're supposed to be the tanks of the sky

[stray bay]

4 at most

[rocky kraken]

well considering that the condor cant escape a hind even in its plane mode is kinda weird

[hexed mango]

tbh thats still a bit weak

[wheat pecan]

i just wanna damage planes with guns again

[hexed mango]

you can with some guns

[wheat pecan]

lewis gunning a muromets that got too cocky was thebest feeling

[fiery dawn]

They are supposed to be transports having lots of health is not the problem it’s when they are death machines that mop the floor with everything while being unkillable because of broken passenger repair interactions

[hexed mango]

maybe 4-5 M5 Rockets, 5-6 AA rockets

[stray bay]

4 AA rockets

[hexed mango]

nah

[stray bay]

2 unguided

[hexed mango]

nah

not at all

[rocky kraken]

it wouldnt be a problem if people actually played aa

[stray bay]

except the AA tank is pretty bad at its AA job

[rocky kraken]

but that isnt the case

[hexed mango]

they should just buff AA Rocket and wildcat
problem solved
While they're at it, buff rao and soflam

[wheat pecan]

aa tank is just an ap tank at this point

[stray bay]

esp. with the spread of the main weapon

[hexed mango]

so change it to be more AA and less tank ez

[wheat pecan]

nerf inf damage and splash and give it proxfuze

[rocky kraken]

i rarely see soflam sadly

[hexed mango]

it is unfortunate

[wheat pecan]

maybe give it a 10% dmage increase to planes and helos

[hexed mango]

soflam needs to be more rewarding

[stray bay]

cause youre hella exposed when trying to use it

[hexed mango]

rn i dont think it credits you for spotting

same with rao

[wheat pecan]

should give you killcredit

[hexed mango]

yeah that

[wheat pecan]

or at least acak credit

[hexed mango]

it doesnt give credit for destroyed vehicles that are spotted/hacked (in raos case)

[wheat pecan]

i miss jihad droning with casper

[fiery dawn]

What happened to “Assist counts as kill”

[wheat pecan]

it was the only way i coiuld reliably kill vhicles

[hexed mango]

i asked sam about that
he said something along the lines of they would add it, but the current assists system already gives so much rewarding xp that it isnt useful

[rocky kraken]

would yall think that rao maybe can get a rework to where he can choose what to disable on a vehicle?

like engine or guns

[hexed mango]

cause rn you can get smoke assists, spot assists, damage assists, disruption assists, vehicle assists, etc

[wheat pecan]

would take too long

hed prob die

[hexed mango]

eh not necessary tbh

[stray bay]

i want to be able to see how much damage ive done to armor and helis through the points like in bf3 and 4

[wheat pecan]

also engines being disasbled mid flight would be op

[hexed mango]

thats too much lol

[wheat pecan]

because it happens in like less t6han a secong

[fiery dawn]

You should definitely get it when you set up entire kills for people running recoilless vs air vehicles though. they literally couldn’t have gotten those kills without you at all

[rocky kraken]

yea

[hexed mango]

the disabling of guns and gadgets is good

[fiery dawn]

It should at least be a thing for SOFLAM

[hexed mango]

i just think it needs to be more rewarding for people to want to do it

[wheat pecan]

maybe soflam mastery ghets you some cool drip or smth

[fiery dawn]

How else besides increased xp event

[rocky kraken]

but if a team decides to use at least like 4 raos air play is dead

[warped current]

Love the hind tears lol you have whole teams with rockets, hacks and wildcats. What else do you want?

[stray bay]

make Rao's hack invert your controls

[wheat pecan]

that would be funny

[stray bay]

so up is down and left is right

[rocky kraken]

[wheat pecan]

and also quite effective

[rocky kraken]

that would be hilarious

anyone else think paik is op?

[stray bay]

lmao no

god no

[rocky kraken]

lol

[wheat pecan]

i just hate her passive

[rocky kraken]

whats her passive

[stray bay]

just kill her faster

[wheat pecan]

it means your streak ends there and then

[rocky kraken]

hm

[wheat pecan]

you get spotted and glow red for the whole team when you damage her

same as rao

[rocky kraken]

oof

[stray bay]

im pretty sure its just a minimap spot

[wheat pecan]

so if you kill her good luck getting a second kill

[stray bay]

not a full outline glow

[wheat pecan]

ik raos one is full outline

think paik is too

[fiery dawn]

Hind is more than balanced enough now with the 50MM nerfs

[hexed mango]

yes

its the outline and body

[wheat pecan]

yeah

thought so

[hexed mango]

full silhouette

[fiery dawn]

No they changed Paik passive

[warped current]

Did they lower splash damage for the stealth chopper bombs?

[fiery dawn]

They gave Rao her old passive and made it so you spot enemies when you damage them as Paik

Source: I’m T1 Paik

[wheat pecan]

damn

less than no life

-0.5 life

[fiery dawn]

wot

[wheat pecan]

t1 paik

[fiery dawn]

[rocky kraken]

opinions on best operator?

specialist

[fiery dawn]

Mackay for assault, Irish best engineer, Falck best medic

[wheat pecan]

i like casper just in general

[fiery dawn]

Sundance is meh now that her smart nades were nerfed but still really fun

[stray bay]

for solo play, sundance is best

[wheat pecan]

althoough jihad drone was fun it was too good

[stray bay]

just because of the wingsuit

[wheat pecan]

dislike sundance

[fiery dawn]

Eh I think Mackay is better personally

[stray bay]

also her anti armor nade is literally useless

[wheat pecan]

just the character in general

[fiery dawn]

me too lmao

[wheat pecan]

mackay but worse

[rocky kraken]

screw sundance

[wheat pecan]

mackay+sundance=rico rodriguez

[rocky kraken]

yes

[fiery dawn]

My favorite character non-gameplay wise is probably Casper or Boris

[rocky kraken]

caspers like sense he has is really good

[wheat pecan]

csper is my fav

i like dozer too

[rocky kraken]

dozer underated

[fiery dawn]

oh yeah forgot about Dozer he’s cool

[wheat pecan]

i swear everyone has just forgot about dozer

and taht just proves my point

[fiery dawn]

lmao yeah

[wheat pecan]

hes really cool

[rocky kraken]

well when he came out i thought it would be easy to reflect bullets to kill but

[wheat pecan]

i like his drip too

[rocky kraken]

ive never gotten a richochet kill

[wheat pecan]

its like running blitz in siege

dont go for ricochets

[rocky kraken]

its cool tho :/

[wheat pecan]

didnt even realise he could do taht tbf

[rocky kraken]

when is dice fixing jets

[wheat pecan]

newver

its dice

[fiery dawn]

who knows

[rocky kraken]

The trailer showed him richochet

[wheat pecan]

did it?

[rocky kraken]

yea

[wheat pecan]

thought taht was just cionematics

[rocky kraken]

may have been

[fiery dawn]

the trailer also showed you being able to c4 your own vehicle into helicopters like in older games

._.

[wheat pecan]

:/

[rocky kraken]

.....

u right

[wheat pecan]

jihad drones were as close as we got afaik

[hexed mango]

for the 1942 one, which im pretty sure you can do

[fiery dawn]

you can’t afaik

[wheat pecan]

and in 2042

[hexed mango]

you cant in 2042 i know that

[rocky kraken]

1942 guns are actually good in my opinion

[wheat pecan]

when tehy c4 a atv into a nightbird

[fiery dawn]

saw some vids testing it and you can only launch even small vehicles a few feet in the air

[hexed mango]

idk they showed a lot of stuff you cant do

[wheat pecan]

wish there were boat maps

[fiery dawn]

me too

[rocky kraken]

1942 conquest of ages is my favorite

[fiery dawn]

I want Paracel Storm style map

[wheat pecan]

i reckon 2042 was originally meant to just be hazard zone

[rocky kraken]

stg44 is so good

[fiery dawn]

Would make sense why the maps are the way they are

[rocky kraken]

😦

[wheat pecan]

it seems like multiplayer was an afterthought that they brought to the forefront after people said tehy werent ready for tarkov-likes

but thats just my tin-foil-hat conspiracy

[rocky kraken]

is hazard zone any better since launch

[fiery dawn]

No

[wheat pecan]

probably never gonna be proven or disproven

[fiery dawn]

And yeah that’s what I think too John but plenty of people here say that’s total BS lol

who knows 🤷‍♂️

gotta go to work now

night shift sucks

[wheat pecan]

L

[rocky kraken]

good luck soldier

[wheat pecan]

i should prob go to sleep

[fiery dawn]

thanks

[wheat pecan]

its like 3:30

[rocky kraken]

damn

:-0

[wheat pecan]

either way have fun

[rocky kraken]

later

[west heron]

My unlocks are still glitched for the Huron, it won't grant me the AIM-9Z IR Missile or the 30mm Cannon Pods even though I got enough kills for both

How do I fix this

[hexed mango]

you dont

atleast not until they fix it

[west heron]

I understand it's easy to not care if the problem doesn't affect you, but comments like that aren't really necessary

just saying

[hexed mango]

uh i was being 100% truthful

there is no fix for it yet

was not a snappy comment

[west heron]

That's not the response I was looking for

[hexed mango]

well then you're out of luck. there is no fix for it. im sorry that it isnt what you want to hear, but that's the reality.

contact ea support, reinstall your game, verify your files, maybe it will help, but no guarantee

[west heron]

Is there a way to switch teams in Solo so I can play on the Russian side?

[hexed mango]

no but you can just change the map to one where you are ru

[fiery shoal]

when you go 74-15 with 12 revives and 12 caps and still lose...

[charred stag]

Yesssss, finally got to level 85

I feel satisfied

[tranquil turtle]

How many captures do the rest of your team members have

[charred stag]

There's a way to fix that

It happened to me with my unlocks for my LMG

You have to get kills and get the next item that you can get

Oops wrong comment,meant to reply to the one before

[wide shore]

I just played a full rotation of conquest of ages and had probably the most fun on this game than I’ve had since launch.

We need these portal guns in AOW

[hexed mango]

yeah fr

M16 <3

[wide shore]

And this mode needs to be forever featured.

[hexed mango]

or just make your own ez

poetic besides the obvious AN, what gun are you most hyped for

[wide shore]

Let’s be real, people only join hardcore servers on the browser

[hexed mango]

not true

[wide shore]

XM8

[hexed mango]

i got a full 48p lobby on air superiority once

and a full 32p on exposure rush

[wide shore]

Well, it’s featured

[hexed mango]

no in my own custom ones

[wide shore]

That’s surprising

[tight escarp]

why is the vcar so shit

[hexed mango]

mine is US v US

[hexed mango]

honestly it isnt anymore

before the 1.1 buff it was the literal worst gun

[tight escarp]

i was using it and i was having a hard time with it

like yesterday

i have no attachments for it

[wide shore]

I want all 3 XM8 versions in AOW

[hexed mango]

with attachments its good

[tight escarp]

how? damage is lower than a semi auto ar

and the hip accuracy is so trash

[hexed mango]

it shoots faster

[tight escarp]

not really

trigger finger

[wide shore]

These youngins don’t know old tricks

[west heron]

i unlocked something for another chopper, the repair system, but it didn't unlock the rest for me

[tight escarp]

damn

[west heron]

highly frustrating

[tight escarp]

You an older bf player?

[wide shore]

Not really, but I did play BC2 in it’s prime

[tight escarp]

Thats cool

i played bf3 but only started getting into the game around bf1s end of life

[wide shore]

Never a better time to hop in. BF1 is my fav

[tight escarp]

same

[wide shore]

But BC2 and BF3 both hold a special place in my heart

[charred stag]

Weird...well then I don't know

[west heron]

dw i appreciate the constructive reply all the same bud

[tranquil turtle]

Can you still kill people with smoke gls?

That was annoying as hell back in the day

[wide shore]

I’m honestly not sure

But I do remember people doing that. Lol

That and using the NS2000 with slug rounds

AKA sniping without bullet drop

[arctic grove]

No, but I’d appreciate an ability to do that in solo/co-op

[graceful pewter]

Can anyone help me out I have a computer question

Ok so I’m jumping to pc gaming. I have a computer that has a I7 and 16gb ram with a nvidia quadro card

I’m buying a card tomorrow cheap for like 100 a egva geoforce 1050ti where do I go to download the drivers. I looked on the site but it’s French to me lmao

Oh ok 👌

I saw that but wasn’t sure

Fucking awesome man thank you

I liked for answers all over google I knew I should’ve just came here first lol

I appreciate ya

[tranquil turtle]

And all the newbie snipers using the m95 with magnum rounds

[rough nova]

which game mode queue can i find a server on? i keep getting lobbies where i am the only person in it

[graceful pewter]

One more stupid question haha. I install the card first and then the driver or install driver then the card

[tranquil turtle]

Card then driver

Driver tells the card how to work

[graceful pewter]

Gotcha!!!

🙏

[fallen field]

[oak fable]

Are the servers down?

[topaz field]

[hexed mango]

skill issue

[unkempt tartan]

sup gang

[regal hollow]

does anyone's bf 2042 on ps5 feel laggy? my game is rubber banding but i have good ping

[civic oak]

yeah mines been like that on pc lately even lag out of games

[sweet barn]

last few days yeah

i think servers are fucked

[queen violet]

What servers 😂

The game is rubbish because of all the box tickers working on the game 😂😂 I bet half of them/they’s/these/and the who’s Dont even know what battlefield is .. lmao.

[civic oak]

i just think what upsets me the most is the lack of creativity in the game. like a battlepass that has nothing good. even the skins maybe add a orange or green line onto the default skin.. ooohhh i want that lol

[orchid root]

I agree

I was disappointed at level 100 skin

[civic oak]

even though i got the battle pass for free i still felt ripped off lol

[orchid root]

For free?

[civic oak]

i got the ultimate pre order edition

so i get 4 free battlepasses

[wanton magnet]

I was playing tonight and it felt like I was shooting pellets even though I have fiber internet connected straight to the ps5.

[orchid root]

Oh I got gold pre order

[lyric stream]

Looking for a squad to play with.

[orchid root]

Technically we still payed for it

[civic oak]

same and alot of the time my shots wont register

[civic oak]

true lol

[orchid root]

I play on ps4 and the game let's say doesn't live up so good

[civic oak]

no this game did disappoint me for sure

but still a good way to pass time

[orchid root]

I agree

I would rather play bf1 tho

[civic oak]

i should play that i have bf1,v, and 4 on pc but rarely ever play them

[orchid root]

I won't even get tier 50 in the battle pass this season

[civic oak]

with how games are nowadays id rather play pokemon on gameboy color lol

[orchid root]

I have v,4,1 on ps4

Bad company 2,bf3,bf2

On pc

[civic oak]

i wanna play bad company 2 again that was my favorite bf for sure

[orchid root]

I had the game pirated on a disk but Tham got it fully

Like 4 months ago

[civic oak]

oh nice i havent played it since like 2012 or something

[civic oak]

what system are you on?

[bitter finch]

Can i run bf2042

[lyric stream]

Looking for a squad for BF2042. Getting bored playing alone.

[bitter finch]

On a i7 7700k and gtx 1070

[civic oak]

what system are you on

[orchid root]

Pretty sure yeah

[civic oak]

yeah you should be able to play but not on high settings

[lyric stream]

PS5/PS4

[bitter finch]

Meh then i might buy it

For high setting i need a rtx right?

[civic oak]

i can play with you im on pc

[orchid root]

Wait for a sale if you can

[lyric stream]

Let’s roll

[civic oak]

im in the squad 5 chat

[charred stag]

Alright for real though,will they ever plan on nerfing the BSV-M or something?

[bitter finch]

Is there one soon then?

[civic oak]

give it 8 months lol

[orchid root]

Not that I know of, very likely not

They barley have sales

[charred stag]

Can't nobody wait that long. It's broken as hell. I can't even snipe without getting sniped by a DMR that shoots like an Assault rifle. Makes no sense

[civic oak]

for real!

[orchid root]

I remember playing portal hard-core and killed people with a ar from like 600 meters

Truly satisfying

[charred stag]

At first I thought the Ac-42 and the K30 were annoying but those things are perfectly balanced still. Frustrating yes but still balanced. The BSV-M is not balanced at all

[ebon pilot]

YES

exactly

[orchid root]

I barley use it

[ebon pilot]

i got it to tier 1 faster than any other weapon

then promptly dropped it

because it felt disgusting to use

[orchid root]

Mine was the m4 for now

Ig I will try the bsv

[small ember]

BSV ruins the game kinda lol

You can go from op smg to assault rifle or dmr with sniper range in seconds

Everyone is using it to the point not even fun anymore

[hardy crow]

T1'd BSV-M and moved on
Kinda got tired of how broken it was.

Also T1'd my boy Rao.
Think I'll do Falck next.

[upbeat sand]

mmmmmmmmmmmm maybe

you prob will get really bad fps tho

[bitter finch]

Soo

I need a rtx

[upbeat sand]

actually no you can get pretty good fps

i think i have a similar computer

with a 5600xt and a i5-9400f (cpu prob weaker than yours)

and i can get a smooth 60+ on med

[upbeat sand]

just dont go high or something

stay on the lower side with graphics

[bitter finch]

Med graphics nice ?

[upbeat sand]

yes

[bitter finch]

Ahh coowl

I might buy 2042 then

I hope that i wont regret it ahahha

[bronze steeple]

Play low

[upbeat sand]

if you do get bad perf then you can try smaller servers instead of the 128 ones

like the 64 exodus conquest and breakthrough

or the portal servers

[bitter finch]

Ahh

Minimum reqs are a gtx 1050 ti

[upbeat sand]

breakthrough is 64 only in all out warfare

and i think minimum might be for 720p 30fps maybe

might be wrong

and also your first game will have worst performance cause the shader cashe needs to load

[torpid falcon]

What're the best SMG and AR to go with right now?

[dapper summit]

Has anyone been getting random Black screens with music after the end of a round forcing you to restart the game? just had a couple random ones. went through the whole EXP to level and battlepass then just a blackscreen.

[bronze steeple]

Smg deff k30 and mp9 AR m5 and ak24 and bsv is a very good weapon too

Pp29 and sfar are not bad either

[torpid falcon]

AK 24 over M5?

[bronze steeple]

Nope m5 over ak use the m5 as a smg with shorten barrel and Close combat mags

[torpid falcon]

But AK for range?

[next onyx]

If you want range use the SCAR.

AK isn't necessarily bad but it's lacking in comparison to either of those.

[torpid falcon]

Just tried playing and there seems to be no servers for 24/7 Exposure 😦

[unkempt tartan]

exodus conquest has servers just had a few games

[hexed mango]

i had one up earlier but nobody joined

i'd be down to play exposure rush :)

[torpid falcon]

think its dead

[torpid lotus]

everyone on that FNB infantry mode lol

[hexed mango]

well ima play some CQ of Ages

heard it was fun

[worn whale]

I come back to this game

can't even look up 😭

[hexed mango]

loser

L

bozo

[worn whale]

wait nvm I was in controller

[hexed mango]

lmao

[unkempt tartan]

why does it do that

i noticed when i plug my controller in

[cyan ferry]

He has the power of an M1 Abrams in his arm

[hexed mango]

and his bullets phase through the glass ez

[cyan ferry]

Ghost bullets

[mossy badge]

graphics

[hexed mango]

what about them

[mossy badge]

Looks photorealistic

[unkempt tartan]

do you run a 3080 morb

[hexed mango]

no

3070

i7 10th

[unkempt tartan]

looks nice

[hexed mango]

i run all high settings, no aart

[worn whale]

I swear man mackay be getting all the cool skins

[hexed mango]

he should

[unkempt tartan]

whats aart

[worn whale]

all the other people look goofy

[hexed mango]

man i cannot shoot

[hexed mango]

sorry rtao ray tracing ambient occlusion

it fucks up my performance

i get 100fps otherwise

and tbh it doesnt really change visuals at all. its kinda dumb

[unkempt tartan]

yeah just for shadows or some shit

it looks nice asf tho from that video

[hexed mango]

i dont have it on

[unkempt tartan]

yeah i copied that

just saying in general

[hexed mango]

oh

ohhhh

yes

very nice

[unkempt tartan]

great success

[crimson basin]

Anyone know if dice used photogrammetry for 2042?

[hexed mango]

what

my brain doesnt know what that word means

[crimson basin]

They scan objects and stuff then add them as assets. They used in bf1 and bf5.

[hexed mango]

erm

maybe?

tbh they probably did seeing they needed to basically remake everything for this game

[crimson basin]

Maybe, it's a different theme than world wars after all

[hexed mango]

true

[uncut bay]

They didn’t

[hexed mango]

and plus i feel like scanning would be for smaller objects, and idk how many smaller objects there are in this game

so probably not but idk

i hate how every populated server on portal is just HC

[crimson basin]

Same

[hexed mango]

its annoying

[crimson basin]

Never enjoyed hc

[hexed mango]

cause tbh i dont like hc

[unkempt tartan]

people like the ez kills

[hexed mango]

yeah but its not fun as no guns really have value, its just a mosh pit of people being blown up

[uncut bay]

Makes it easier to get mastery for shit guns

[hexed mango]

yeah but like you'll still die a lot

[crimson basin]

Low ttk doesn't work in fast paced games

[uncut bay]

True but at least you can get kills easier

[hexed mango]

you also get killed easier
but ig since its the only active thing on portal, ill try to get VCAR T1

i regret ever using the vcar

[wide shore]

Hardcore has never been fun

There’s a fine middle ground between killing too fast and too slow. Hardcore is just too fast. And snipers being OHK just means that’s where all the hill humpers go

It also always feels tacked on. Why not just play a game made to be slower.

[hexed mango]

i wonder if the bolt rack is any good with hc lmao

once more i have fallen victim to destruction

[fallen field]

Me I have it Xbox series x possible free on Xbox game pass

[hexed mango]

stroke 100

[fallen field]

Me I have it Xbox game pass console

[hexed mango]

something tells me thats not 51 hp

[low timber]

Math

[hexed mango]

ikr

👍

[uncut bay]

I find it fun, makes all guns equally viable if done right

[hexed mango]

yeah thats one of the reasons i hate it lel

[uncut bay]

Official hc is trash though

[hexed mango]

makes the gun differential useless
i like aow cause guns have advantages and disadvantages, making it a skill-based thing, not who shot first

[uncut bay]

Yeah fair

[hexed mango]

but whatever makes anyone happy

[uncut bay]

I like both but hc comes in handy when I just want to rely on reflexes regardless of weapon

[hexed mango]

i'd personally like to see different gamemodes than just HC in portal tho :(

[uncut bay]

Or when grinding a gun that obviously can’t compete

[hexed mango]

like normal rush on good maps, like exposure

or shit like that

[tame cobalt]

Yes

[hexed mango]

they should really bring back either BT Exposure 24/7 or Rush Exposure 24/7

[tepid agate]

Finally finished weekly missions lol tier 83 now for the season

6 weeks lifr should be okay to make it

[hexed mango]

bro im about to finish the bp rn

[tepid agate]

I'm waaaaay off lol my season badge is only 772

[hexed mango]

mine is 900 so not that bad, but still behind

[tepid agate]

Right until next week 🍻 heading over to bfv now.

[hexed mango]

hf

[tepid agate]

Still haven't unlocked everything for all vehicles lol

[hexed mango]

tbh i barely played bfv

it came out around the time i moved from xbox to pc

my dad played it more than me lol

my dad probably also played more bf1 than me

but i played bf4 a lot more than he did

[tepid agate]

Yeah I went back because I was tired of 2042. I know nothing new there but after I played 1 round. Man I miss this lol

Maybe bfV is for us old folks

[hexed mango]

currently reminiscing about when my dad, my brother and i played diablo 3 together on the xbox 360

[tepid agate]

Still tons of skins I haven't got yet anyways so I can work to those

You guys should organise again

[hexed mango]

yeah lol my dad recently started playing diablo immortal

fun times.

i got my dad to play R6 with me once

[tepid agate]

I actually miss all this fortification stuff lol love building up my base to defend it

Never tried diablo before

[hexed mango]

its cool but tbh i dont miss it all too much

diablo was so fun lol

my dad played a lot of WoW and skyrim aswell, he's a gamer 😎

[tepid agate]

Oh ffs lol

[hexed mango]

although fr Fallout games were the heart of my early gaming days lol

[tepid agate]

3 full servers in my region for breakthrough but all have 3/4/7 in que

[hexed mango]

and even earlier, simpsons hit and run 10/10 game

[hexed mango]

rip

i miss my ps2 and wii :(

and my xbox 360

[tepid agate]

I don't own a PS2 anymore only ps3

[hexed mango]

should i go back and play bfv or bf1 again
just to chill
or should i play something else

[tepid agate]

Oh yeah Simpsons looool great game

[hazy berry]

next update when ?

[hexed mango]

simpsons hit and run is just gta but for kids

[tepid agate]

bfV is nice chill 😎 go do the weekly mission

[hexed mango]

we just got one, next one in a month

[tepid agate]

Yeah I played both but Simpson was fun

[hexed mango]

ight guess i gotta install a 90gb game

gonna uninstall bf3

[tepid agate]

🍻

[hazy berry]

ty have nice day

[tepid agate]

Well I didn't last long just got obliterated by the tanks flamethrower lol

[hexed mango]

lmao

wonder how long itll take to download

17 minutes

[tepid agate]

Not long! Lol

[hexed mango]

yeah fr

[tepid agate]

I'm used to double tapping L3 thinking I can run faster like 2042

[hexed mango]

that 1000mbps download speed coming in clutch

[hexed mango]

BFV has traversal sprint tho?

also, in 2042 i just enable auto traversal sprint so its always on
speed is key

[tepid agate]

Yeah I can crouch run

Ah I should do that too

[hexed mango]

nice feature but my knees hurt just thinking about it

[upbeat sand]

When are they going to add the exposure ost to the soundtrack?

[hexed mango]

ikr

[upbeat sand]

I need it

[tepid agate]

I like how squad order actually mean something. Work together to call in the big bomb

[hexed mango]

tru tru

squad leader in 2042 is useless

[upbeat sand]

I think I heard the only people who can listen to the exposure ost are people with ult edition

Since they get the extra stuff

[hexed mango]

im like 90% certain the soundtrack we get is the same from the spotify lmao

ill check for you tho

[upbeat sand]

Yeah spotify and Apple Music ect has it

It has the default

But no exposure

[hexed mango]

this is the download we get

[upbeat sand]

For the ultimate edition?

[hexed mango]

ye

[upbeat sand]

Wack I got the gold so I can only listen the 2042 stuff on Spotify

Or YouTube

[hexed mango]

want me to send you the zip lmao

[upbeat sand]

Of the exposure one yes

[hexed mango]

idk if there is an exposure one tho

[upbeat sand]

Wack

[hexed mango]

i mean atleast none are named Exposure

although

[upbeat sand]

Well they are different names

[hexed mango]

idk what Almstrom, Desertification, The Long Haul, Olivine, Kicking the Bucket or Landing are supposed to be

[upbeat sand]

Since manifest's one is called hauled over coals

[hexed mango]

oh so thats haul

[civic oak]

i got the ultimate edition and i still have no idea where to get the soundtrack we were promised

[hexed mango]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/media/ultimate-edition-benefits

you have to login there and download it

[silk surge]

People sleep on the skybox of 2042. Being able to fly above the clouds on a jet in the 2042 maps is amazing.

[civic oak]

sweet got it thank you

i regret asking for that song list lol bunch of random whales doing it lol

[hexed mango]

tbh tho i wish it was a bit higher on some maps, its annoying getting stuck in the soft-ceiling

it is however a nice change, and like you said, its fun to fly in the clouds (specially on maps like orbital)

anyways, august could be a big month
we could get portal guns, kale rework, some balancing, sounds fun

[hexed mango]

finished installing

[tepid agate]

Nice. Just finished 4th and was in best squad 😄

[hexed mango]

what you playing

[tepid agate]

Breakthrough

[hexed mango]

🥵

[tepid agate]

Loading New map

Panzerstorm lol

[hexed mango]

dafaq

welp my game crashed for no reason

my game crashed again? wtf

ok a third time. idk if i can do this ngl

[tepid agate]

Wow that's strange I always go to server browser

[hexed mango]

yeah i was tryna load the browser and my game crashed lol

3x

so fourth time's the charm maybe?

or ill just let it do the searching

and just wait out the time

its possible it takes so long because its like 3am for me

[silk surge]

I really hope the new PORTAL guns that Temproyal datamined will be in the August update. Would be nice to use M2 Carbine again like in the BFV days.

[tepid agate]

Damn that sucks

[hexed mango]

nope my game crashed again

[silk surge]

I'm honestly relieved that they're still adding content to PORTAL. PORTAL is pretty unpopulated and there could be a chance that EA cuts support for it.

[hexed mango]

i hope they also add those guns to aow tho
i feel like 9/10 portal games are 2042 still
and im 100% happy with portal content, but satisfying the 2042 base might be their best bet with making this game better in the eyes of players

[silk surge]

A lot of those guns were for 1942, not sure if they'll make it to AOW.

[hexed mango]

@tepid agate do you think the game is breaking for me cause im launching via EA Desktop?

[hexed mango]

true but like the aek

[silk surge]

They really should add progression to 1942/BC2/BF3 PORTAL. Feels kinda lame that you unlock everything immidiately, and there are no mastery badges for the PORTAL vehicles and weapons.

[stoic creek]

Thoughts on Huron?

And hannibal

[hexed mango]

op but fun

[stoic creek]

True

[silk surge]

I love it. I have Hannibal at T1 already, and I need like 200 more kills for Huron.

[hexed mango]

really wtf

how

[stoic creek]

Dam

How tho

[hexed mango]

i can never get them in matches

[stoic creek]

True

Same

[hexed mango]

some other sweat always gets them

and then goes 190-0

[stoic creek]

Yea

[silk surge]

I'm that other sweat.

[hexed mango]

shush

[hexed mango]

do you just play cq?

[silk surge]

Mostly yeah

[hexed mango]

man i wish i could abuse that before it gets nerfed

whatever, ill just stick with my F-35 grind for now

[silk surge]

I just hope I get Huron to T1 before the inevitable nerfs.

[hexed mango]

i just wish i could use it lol

looks fun, but ive yet to have success with it

once i get it, ill daunt my F-35 T1 and be happy with my life (not)

[silk surge]

Its important that you unlock flares and 30mm using solo/co-op before spawning stealth helis. They are worthless without those two things.

[hexed mango]

i have all the unlocks cept flares, so yeah i need those

(for both)

i got them cause i got in the passenger seat of some sweat lol

[silk surge]

Stealth mode doesn't interupt lock-ons, so youll need flares to stay alive.

[hexed mango]

ahhhhhhhh

[worn whale]

I hate this new heli

its just utter shit to fight against

[hexed mango]

they need to add F-22 to this game

[silk surge]

Also, if you get locked on, go stealth, and get hit... youll be removed from stealth from that hit.

[next onyx]

It's amazing they brought that st heli in the state it is in.

[silk surge]

Remember when nightbird was the meta? Now they're a waste of attack heli slot because of stealth helis.

[worn whale]

yeah no, this should stick to not add more planes that serve the same purpose

[worn whale]

they should still put that on transport lol

[next onyx]

Yeah no.

[hexed mango]

F-22 is too hot to not add

B-2 aswell :)

[next onyx]

It's not used like a transport.

[silk surge]

Absolutely not.

[next onyx]

Just add a futuristic a10 and su25 and you're set for AT jets.

[worn whale]

with what've seen in portal they're shit at making attack jets

[next onyx]

They're great what do you mean.

[hexed mango]

yes but F-22 and B-2 > A-10

[worn whale]

the way they fly

it feels so heavy

[hexed mango]

also why su-25 and not frogfoot

wait

no

shush

[next onyx]

The su25 is the frogfoot LOL.

[hexed mango]

yeah i realized

as i said that

[next onyx]

They could use a small adjustment but they shouldn't be air to air jets.

They're primary air to ground and you should lose to an F18/SU35.

[worn whale]

they shouldn't but should still have AA missiles

[tepid agate]

No idea I don't understand how the of works 💀

[next onyx]

You should rely on your guns not some lock ons.

Guns do way more damage.

[worn whale]

more like use your whole inventory

if you have it just use it

[hexed mango]

yeah idk im just going to 2042 :(

[next onyx]

I wouldn't mind it if they decreased the spread on the 30MM GAU.

It fires like a shotgun.

[worn whale]

no splash damage tho

[next onyx]

You don't need splash damage considering the damage it does.

[worn whale]

yes you do that's the whole point of the 30mm

[next onyx]

Besides. You want splash? Use rocket pods.

[hexed mango]

i feel like you guys are saying the same thing

[worn whale]

what happened to "rely on your guns"??? lol

[hexed mango]

but also arguing at the same time

[worn whale]

look at how bf4 A-10 is

[next onyx]

The way it's been balanced it doesn't need explosive rounds and i mean it. It tears vehicles up it shouldn't need splash.

[worn whale]

[next onyx]

Yes you use your main guns against everything. If you want splash like i said you use rocket pods.

Have you seen them in action?

They turn everything into scrap metal. Splash would make it too easy to use against infantry.

[worn whale]

so you want a futuristic A-10 that doesn't have APHE rounds but only AP?

[worn whale]

that's the whole point of an A-10

[next onyx]

If it means the game can be balanced in a meaningful way I do not care.

[hexed mango]

way, sam said they know about the issue with the friendly indicators not showing up btw
just fyi

[next onyx]

This a10 variant is a copy of the bf3 variant. It's no bf4 explosive 30mm cannon.

Yep fun bug isn't it.

[hexed mango]

quite. i have to actually use my eyes now

[next onyx]

It doesn't help either way because if the jets are the same between both factions there's really no way to distinguish it.

[worn whale]

[next onyx]

Plus minimaps are tiny as hell. No way you can set the distance between each of the vehicles.

[worn whale]

I really do hope you don't mean that

[hexed mango]

nah im playing reg air superiority now

so i have to check if the plane has the double jets now

[next onyx]

Oh that's easier cause as long as you keep in mind what faction you are in zero issues.

If it's just su57's or f35's well... issues arise.

[worn whale]

right also I need to change my melee

how can I do that

[next onyx]

Go to your operator and there should be a tab saying takedowns.

[hexed mango]

yep

[hexed mango]

"operator"
r6 moment

idk

[next onyx]

It's the same meaning no matter what.

[dire quest]

Don't you feel this map is very one-sided on air superiority?

Like one team spawn traps the other?

[hexed mango]

i think its just a lame map lel

[dire quest]

It's what I noticed on the air superiority server I created with bots

[hexed mango]

literally punching my monitor rn

[dire quest]

It's always that map, one team will always spawn trap the other

[upbeat sand]

whats the missle your using

[hexed mango]

radar

[upbeat sand]

ahh

[dire quest]

That map for some reason is also one-sided on ground superiority too

One team captures the command post and spawn traps the other

[upbeat sand]

whats the worst map in battlefield for you people

as in just the worst out of the entire franchise

[hexed mango]

yeah its just generally a shit map

for everything

[dire quest]

Battle of the bulge is broken on both of the new game modes, which is why I removed them

At least with bots

[hexed mango]

you and your bots smh

[dire quest]

Bots will spawn kill af

Plus if you're already using the rules editor, might as well use bots, no?

Both restrict xp

[hexed mango]

why use the rule editor tho

you can live without it

[dire quest]

Edit the score and time

[hexed mango]

yeah just dont

[dire quest]

15 minute matches are boring

[worn whale]

why do I look so small?

[dire quest]

Fov

I think

[worn whale]

its maxed out lol

[hexed mango]

not many people to shoot at in this game

[hexed mango]

cause you are

[hexed mango]

yeah higher fov means things look smaller

i personally hate every tree in this game

[shy latch]

trees crossing the road while you're driving are so dangerous

[hexed mango]

flares? legacy feature

[worn whale]

-dives into the trees that are obviously standing still
-blames trees

[hexed mango]

i swear this guy should be dead

[hexed mango]

yeah but jet > trees

40 more till im 50% done :(

[fiery dawn]

Just got back from work

[hexed mango]

i want credit for that ram.

im posting clips left right and center

[fiery dawn]

Yeah that’s weird it didn’t give you credit

Normally that would’ve been a kill and a vehicle destroy I think

[fiery dawn]

Seems like you’re making decent progress

[hexed mango]

yeah but the % depresses me

[fiery dawn]

Yeah. It’s only a matter of time before you’re there tbh

Now that we have a reliable way to grind jet mastery

[hexed mango]

i have a bad feeling the featured mode is gonna go away tomorrow and i wont have the easy access grind

[fiery dawn]

featured mode?

[full burrow]

Fuck me they have one good pilot so half the team has to camp in helis and land vehicles trying to fight instead of playing objectives

[fiery dawn]

we still have air superiority available in portal though regardless

[full burrow]

Give it a few minutes and we can’t even hold out home flag cos the team is camping

[hexed mango]

yes but i dont usually get a lot of players there

since its featured rn, more players will join

[full burrow]

Then I can’t even mark it cos it just flies high up

[fiery dawn]

Fair. Worst case scenario you and I can just take turns killing each other all the way to T1

[hexed mango]

lmao

alr well ima go to sleep, its 4am
just got 11 in that last game

[fiery dawn]

Aight ima have a shower and get some sleep as well

Peace

[hexed mango]

gn

47.1%

[fiery dawn]

👌

[shy latch]

you know? I think would be nice from DICE to insert the specialist name on the death screen 'cause sometimes is hard to understand. What you guys think about it?

[uncut bay]

i agree

[full burrow]

You know your team did baaaaad when top place is 13 kills

[bronze steeple]

morb never sleeps

[shy latch]

of course, he's a vampire

[full burrow]

is 27% HS on ak-24 decent?

[worn whale]

oml I love meckay's deathless skin

nice

less go

[zealous patio]

happened to me so many times with helis and jets

i had a clip about tree rko'd me

let me check still have it

lol nice i still have it uploading

[zealous patio]

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

[silk surge]

Ya'll remember this blatant scam of a survey?

[regal sphinx]

The only one I like even more is the Zero-Resistance-one.
Let's him look like Doomguy.

[hexed mango]

yep

[silk surge]

I wonder whatever happened to those lawyers standing by to sue EA lmao

[hexed mango]

they tried helping amber heard

[worn whale]

there were no lawyers to begin with

[hexed mango]

that’s just how shit lawyers they must be

[worn whale]

???

[hexed mango]

!!!

[still vault]

I never believed there was ever any lawyers or any case.
I am not a lawyer so could be wrong but it all just seemed very sus.

[silk surge]

It was clear from the very beginning. Any legal counsel would tell this dumbass that 1. he has no standing to sue and 2. a change.org petition would be useless in a court.

[worn whale]

if only you can read

[hexed mango]

lmao

[sinful ore]

we call battlefield as 1yearfield in korea so maybe like the case of bf4 after few months bf2042 will be fine

[hexed mango]

so spend thousands of $$ to get $60 back

[worn whale]

I paid 110$

[silk surge]

He changed it. He initially claimed that he had lawyers standing by.

[worn whale]

so I'll get that back

[hexed mango]

i get like $200

but i’d rather keep my game

[worn whale]

goofy stuff

ass bad

[hexed mango]

sexy man right there

mackay and rao are my daddies

even tho rao already got one, i would gladly take another rao bundle ;)

but a falck one would be nice aswell

[silk surge]

The fact that he used extremely bad legal terminology like "EA has caused millions of dollars in property damage" was also a massive red flag, because it confirmed that he had not consulted with any lawyers before making that survey.

[hexed mango]

property damage!!?? oh no my house is destroyed because i bought an online game!

[still vault]

Lol.

Its like people have never bought a product they regret buying before.

[grizzled whale]

Dude took the money and went on a nice vacation
