battlefield-2042

[silk surge]

I can't believe people actually donated money to this guy.

[grizzled whale]

He easily made over 5k from it

[silk surge]

People should be suing him for false advertisement.

[grizzled whale]

Fr tho

[still vault]

They actually gave him money? Just thought it was a dumb petition

[arctic grove]

Paid $80

[grizzled whale]

It was

But you can donate too

[arctic grove]

You still had to be pretty gullible if you thought a petition would do anything

[silk surge]

I bought 2 Ultimate Editions and 1 Standard Edition.

[grizzled whale]

People who think 2042 is a scam are stupid anyway

[worn whale]

round lasted like 7 minutes

[silk surge]

I've yet to hear a good argument about what exactly was falsely advertised.

[grizzled whale]

Yep

[silk surge]

Hell, there was literally a 10 hour trial you could've used before buying the game.

[worn whale]

https://youtu.be/HqIUu99sgys

[arctic grove]

The game is pretty much what we got from the reveal trailer and then first gameplay trailer

[arctic grove]

Quick reminder that this guy at some point in this video says 2042 has slower movement speed than BF4

Vast majority of his arguments are garbage

[worn whale]

I was a god at bf4 movement

abusing the shit out of it

now I just forgot how to play

[arctic grove]

It's dated and jank

[worn whale]

literally the best

[silk surge]

I've seen this video. Most of his takes are recycled circlejerky garbage he found on the main subreddit.

[arctic grove]

Indeed

He went to reddit, and compiled a bunch of points together to appeal to Reddit people and get views

[silk surge]

It's sad that this is 90% of what Gaming Youtube is nowadays.

[arctic grove]

Gotta love YouTubers who think they are smarter than they really are.

And could you have put some fucking timestamps dude?

43 minutes of bullshit

Unbiased take indeed. Gameplay montage of BF3/4 where shots line up to the beat of the BF4 theme. Meanwhile his 2042 montage is just him showing glitches and no cool moments

[queen violet]

Can never get in a game.

No. CLan tags. No servers.. maps are garbage 😂. All the skins they give us .. half look like they belong on doom. Or cod 🤡

If we get a new skin. Its just another colour 😩 …. Bring back the. Good old days. Any time ..

[tame cobalt]

I'm boutta move to europe just to play breakthrough

Common ultimate buyer L

[queen violet]

Only content there working on right now. Is more skins in store to sell

[tame cobalt]

Gold chads rise up

[tame cobalt]

Shit take

[queen violet]

Yea. I think so

[tame cobalt]

Let's goooo

Good

Looking forward to seeing the game improve more and more over the next year

[arctic grove]

Where you from

And do you have crossplay on?

[tame cobalt]

The new map is solid and the map reworks look great

[queen violet]

Id blow up all the roofs. From the skyscapers.. have burning fires popping out the side.. half blown up building in the desert. Its madness. What they could of done. To so many maps….. all basic.

Love playing bc2 maps

[tame cobalt]

[arctic grove]

Yes. You can do that in 2042

What does that even mean

[queen violet]

128 team death match on a small conquest map

[arctic lion]

bruh how are the servers still closing for no reason after this 1.1 update

[arctic grove]

@queen violet what region are you from and do you have crossplay on?

[queen violet]

I always do. Yes

[arctic grove]

That's a two part question dude

Lmao

[queen violet]

Lol

Uk 😂

[arctic grove]

If you from UK you can find a match LMAO

[queen violet]

You think so

Can never join a game

[arctic grove]

If you are from the UK it takes 15-20 seconds to find a match. You are capping bro

And you will likely find a full match too

Because we already have one in portal, and aow doesn't need it

[shy latch]

you know I thought the same until few time ago, but comparing the 2042 maps with any old map (like Valparaiso that is a good example) where you can literally destroy everything on the objectives then you have the problem that there are no more covers (or very very fews) for the infantry.
I agree destruction is something very beautiful, but is also true that too much destruction can ruin the game experience.
The best solution imo? Something in between

[arctic grove]

The lack of destruction was a gameplay decision

[queen violet]

Its a basic game .

[arctic grove]

Destruction isn't automatically better. Having cover that is actually viable cover is nice

[silk surge]

I really wish Battlefieldtracker showed stats on which specialist is played the most. I would assume it'd be someone like Falck, Angel, or Sundance.

[queen violet]

We will get 1 map every 1. They think a huge map is good ..

[arctic grove]

Plus you could just play hourglass and try to hide in a building. Or hide in one of those living units in breakaway

[silk surge]

Honestly, it sounds like DICE is looking back on 128p and big maps as a mistake, and they've been actively trying to move away from that format.

[queen violet]

Most players dont even know how to make a squad order 😂😂😂

[arctic grove]

Yeah hazard zone is bloat

[robust ember]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[silk surge]

It's funny how they announced that they were dropping support for HZ, and then introduced a bunch of new stuff to it.

[robust ember]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[queen violet]

Hardline .. rocketman. End of street Van passes boom…. Repeat.. oh look. Im number 1

[silk surge]

Same.... Well, I didn't literally cry... But I remember the morning I opened up my phone and saw the announcement as a pinned post on /r/BattlefieldV. It felt like a real gut punch, as BFV had so much more potential.

[queen violet]

Recoil. Was like >>…………………….>..>. Up there

[robust ember]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[arctic grove]

128 players and big maps is not a mistake. It was a decision based on battlefield fans saying they like how big it is, and combined arms battles. Little did they know, what everyone really wanted was MW2019 with classes.

[next onyx]

Battlefield hardline over in genchat and here whew.

Hardline was fun.

[silk surge]

Didn't say it was. But I think DICE thinks that at this point.

[next onyx]

Questionable balance but it was a fun game.

[arctic grove]

I know

[still vault]

Battlefield franchise is big. You can't make everyone happy.

[arctic grove]

But I really hope dice doesn't 180 on all the decisions they made in 2042. Stay the course. You will just fuck shit up. If you are gonna change everything, do it in the next game.

[queen violet]

Be great to see what the 64. COnquest map size …. With 128 players on.. with more flags .. that be a battlefield game

[silk surge]

Besides, 128p maps are a lot harder to make, and they have to sacrifice a lot of other stuff like destruction and texture quality. It's just not worth it, 64p is good enough.

[shy latch]

c'mon @still vault shows to everyone the wheel chart you made

[still vault]

this thing?

[shy latch]

yup

[silk surge]

Instead of Exposure, there could've been 4 64p maps made.

[arctic grove]

I totally disagree

Ide rather not have BF4 over and over again

[queen violet]

If you want 64 players .. get a ps4 or a pc with 1080ti 😂

[arctic grove]

I really like exposure and having a lot of space to work with

There's a game that is made around 64p. It's BF4.

[upbeat sand]

Quality over quantity

[silk surge]

Doesn't necessarily have to be BF4 over and over again, but why fix something that isn't broken?

[arctic grove]

I'm long past 2013 man

[arctic grove]

And that's how you end up with call of duty

Gotta take a chance and try something new. Not always a home run.

This is such a good example of why devs shouldn't listen to their fans when it comes to game design

[marble wing]

Hey, just to be sure I'm understanding this right. My BP progression is 3 and I have 5 dots into level 4. So my S1 badge progression should be 35, right? Like the S1 badge progression should be BP lvl x 10 + additional points?

[upbeat sand]

Progression is bugged

[marble wing]

Will DICE address this in the next update? It's not in the known issues and before the last update it was already bugged but it wasn't fixed

[upbeat sand]

Maybe

We don't have conformation (maybe)

I haven't checked twitter

Or ea help

Probably

[still vault]

There we goo. Rao is now a red boi

[silk surge]

Hard work pays off sometimes.

[slim quiver]

who knows

[slate meadow]

when are they going to nerf the stealth choppers? its a joke

[next onyx]

Should be upcoming patch.

[slim quiver]

hopefully the "tweak" is a nerf

[slate meadow]

why dont they play test these things before puttin g them into the game

[next onyx]

It is horribly balanced. But I think we all know why they made this more powerful.

[slim quiver]

because it wouldnt be as funny that way

[next onyx]

Get people to buy the battlepass because other people are abusing it.

[slim quiver]

and just like anything they probably playtest things but theyre not checking for balance

theyre checking for bugs

and things that break the game

[next onyx]

Same reason why the VSS is in its current state.

The irony is that close combat AS VAL is actually really well balanced.

It's just in DMR mode it is not.

[slim quiver]

play testers never play the way actual gamers play. They test things by playing like a normal human being

the average gamer all they do is look how they can exploit things

[silk surge]

I wonder if Exposure will be remembered as 2042's take on Metro, or if they have a Metro remake planned during the upcoming seasons.

[slim quiver]

and then try to replicate it over and over

[next onyx]

Who knows Henry.

[slim quiver]

gamers arent interested in playing normally, its about playing as efficiently as possible for the best stats possible

and we tend to do unconventional things that arent good for testing

camping
exploiting attachments and terrain
exploiting gadgets

[next onyx]

Honestly I kinda want Seine crossing in because based off what I've seen, It plays really well.

[slim quiver]

exploiting movement

[next onyx]

I never got to play its full 64P variant cause old gen.

[slim quiver]

spamming explosives

and i doubt playtests have like 128 player lobbies

and just telling people to play like youre having fun. that wouldnt be good for catching bugs really

the players are what catches imbalance

because we are the ones directly trying to exploit the imbalance of the game

[next onyx]

It's also easier to find problems when you have 100 to 200x the people playing over play testers.

[trim basin]

have they said anything about mouse input for the next patch?

[silk surge]

I wish Battlefieldtracker showed more support stats. We can't see things like revives, assists, heals, spots etc. It would be good for people like this legend who has a low KD, but mains support as Angel.

[still vault]

I assume it will still be there

[trim wyvern]

INDONESIA RUSH (server is open now) 🙂

[next onyx]

I'm not holding my breath for any mention of mouse input.

[silk surge]

Mouse input problems on PC is the only reason why I can hold my own in a crossplay lobby as a PS5 player lmao

[slim quiver]

i wouldnt

[patent heath]

Need to redownload 2042

[slate meadow]

dont do it

[silk surge]

Even the devs uninstalled smh

[slim quiver]

PC support in terms of QOL features will go ignored probably for a while

[patent heath]

I only played the beta lol

[slate meadow]

the game is worse now then it was a couple months ago

[worn whale]

totally not cursed

[slim quiver]

devs arent required to play the game lol

i know a few devs that dont even like 2042 lmao

[patent heath]

I never even worked on 2042

[slim quiver]

based

[still vault]

I expect many of the issues people are having with mouse input is actually caused by all the weird things they tried to fix the input issues that was there at release.

[slate meadow]

devs arent aquired to develop a game either based on the state of 2042

[silk surge]

They should be legally required to play. I need that DICE dog-tag. I got disgustingly close at getting one this one time.

[slim quiver]

i have input issues and i havent done a single tweak

never followed any of the reddit stuff at all

kept everything completely the way it was

[patent heath]

Its not usually the devs but other factors

Like time

[slate meadow]

they had more time and less features

[silk surge]

I love killing TOTALfps in FNB lobbies.

[slim quiver]

a chunk of that time was spent upgrading an engine and then splitting AOW into 3 separate modes

[patent heath]

Never worked on 2042 so cannot say anything about it in terms of development

[slim quiver]

Portal, AOW, and Hazard zone

guess what would have happened if they cut that down to 1 focus

[patent heath]

Dead Space Remake gib

[torpid lotus]

They need battlelog back. This tracker is broke because it doesn’t even show the new weapons or track them

[slim quiver]

thats like the only ea game im excited for rn

[patent heath]

Next Fares game too if hes making one

[slate meadow]

but its ea so you know they will balls it up somewhere

[slim quiver]

oh yeah ofc

[silk surge]

We're getting player stats in the next update, hopefully it will work like Battlelog did.

[patent heath]

I havent played It Takes Two yet because I need a coop partner

[slim quiver]

he needs to make another game so he can say fuck the oscars again

[patent heath]

Based

I actually personally know him sort of

[slim quiver]

thats actually kinda cool

[slim quiver]

prob not actually. very hard to screw up a remake

most companies do remakes quite well

[patent heath]

The Dead Space remake will probably be good

But we also have Callisto coming

[slim quiver]

yeah im thinking based on dev diaries and the interviews

[slate meadow]

laughs in gta definative edition and also laughs in battlefront 2 remake

[slim quiver]

their ideas about the heart monitor features and stuff are cool

[patent heath]

Battlefront 2 is good

[slim quiver]

BF2 was good

it launched horribly and then was great

[patent heath]

GTA was just a shitty port

From mobile

[silk surge]

I love getting killstreaks as Vader.

[slate meadow]

only after it got absolutely destroyed for the loot box scandal

[slim quiver]

GTA launched with saturation issues

it doesnt matter if a game launches terribly

what matters is how it recovers and ends up

[patent heath]

I remember playing BF2 in 2021 and getting like 200 kills per match shit was wack

So fun

[slate meadow]

a game launch and a games EOL state should be one in the same

[slim quiver]

sniping in Bf2 is fun

its hella broken

[patent heath]

I just go assault and rush

[slim quiver]

No

[patent heath]

Then switch to Vader and massacre

[slim quiver]

thats not how a game progresses

when you release a game that doesnt mean the game is finished. game development never ends until you stop updating it

[patent heath]

Look at No Mans Sky

[slate meadow]

yes if they are charging £60 for something the product should be atleast playable

[patent heath]

It really redeemed itself

[silk surge]

Fuck, you talked me into it, Im gonna go and boot up BF2 again.

[patent heath]

[frank tartan]

ikea are you a ea employee

[slate meadow]

same goes for nms just because its a good game now doesnt mean that what they did was right?

game was shite at first

[silk surge]

He is.

[patent heath]

Absolutely not but atleast they redeemed themselves with free updates

6 years later

[frank tartan]

based bateman pfp

love to see it

[rugged grove]

hello guys, i don't know if bf2042 report ingame system is working? rage hacking (170~200kills/game) player i saw him for 3 weeks, i reported all that time but he's fine now

[patent heath]

Soldia Boy

[frank tartan]

🤝

[trim basin]

still an issue now, i didn't play the game at release :l

[patent heath]

Is BF4 still alive? I remember it being super populated during the 2042 reveal

[slate meadow]

probably as alive as bf2042 at this point xD

[still vault]

What is the exact issue?

[surreal portal]

On Xbox you can’t play dedicated servers. Only servers through server browse

[torpid lotus]

Things that could make this game better. Add suppression effect for incoming fire (blurred vision/heavy breathing/inability to ads), Making 6 man squads over 4. Gets more clan members/party in the game. Add squad leader points for directing team (taking objectives, defending etc.). Put all vehicles at the home base like previous BF, instead of having a timer and having to go through a menu to select.

[slate meadow]

what are the official player numbers per month across all platforms surely you can find that out?

[patent heath]

I do not work on 2042

[sweet barn]

falck looks like she is about the drop the biggest log of her life when she steps forward and speaks her line

[slate meadow]

speak to someone who does then 😛

[patent heath]

Pretty sure that would have to be someone at DICE Stockholm and I do not know anyone there

[slate meadow]

why do you have to know them ring them up give them your secret ea id and say im after official figures see what happens 😂

[patent heath]

get terminated any% speedrun

[slate meadow]

jut finding excuses not to give us the piss poor number 🤔 😏 😂

[slim quiver]

it still is but

[trim basin]

raw mouse input doesn't seem to actually work - input sometimes lags behind or skipping and ADS sensitivity is not consistent. another issue i experience is mouse smoothing or something similar? like my game is in windowed mode but isn't actually - i find this to be clearer on 64/128 servers

[slim quiver]

you wont get the same numbers as BF1 or V

[frank tartan]

could probably google that

[patent heath]

Need to redownload both of those

[slim quiver]

same, I played with wilde a little while ago lmao

[slate meadow]

i have tried there doesnt seem to be any official figures anywhere

[slim quiver]

if only you were a cod fan ludwig. you could join our mw2 group when it comes out

:(

[patent heath]

This is hilarious

[slim quiver]

LOL

[patent heath]

I do play COD but only the good ones

2019 MW was the last one

For shooters I prefer Ready or Not/Squad/Tarkov atm

[still vault]

Thanks for explaining. Don't have many issues regarding that myself but could just be me not noticing.

[next onyx]

Jesus christ they duplicated.

[slim quiver]

if you play mw2 give me and @naive trellis a shout

[patent heath]

When is it out tho

[slim quiver]

this year

end october

the beta should be end august or september

[naive sandal]

Pssst give us EA secret mind control redeem code

[patent heath]

3003135

[patent heath]

Ahh sick so soon

[naive sandal]

Cool beans

[patent heath]

I hope my laptop is powerful enough for it tho

[slim quiver]

hopefully

[slim quiver]

either way it would be awesome to play with u :)

[patent heath]

me who hasnt played a game properly in a year

used to be top 50 in tarkov

[lone wren]

hi all

[slim quiver]

thats actually impressive lmao

[fast nimbus]

Hazard zone broken?

[lone wren]

how is everyone

[patent heath]

not when you realize how much time it takes

think i got 1500h in around 3 months

[ivory rampart]

worth updating Nvidia driver from June?

[slim quiver]

yeah haha i couldnt do that for tarkov

[sharp marten]

Is Tarkov actually fun I’ve heard mixed things about it

[zealous patio]

if you have friends its fun other than that its depressing to learn it alone

[ivory rampart]

this

£42 for two 15 minute rage quits

runs like shit too

[sharp marten]

My friend wants me to buy a pc and play it with him but I’ve seen videos of like a shit ton of botters and esp on there

[zealous patio]

i play solo tarkov quit after 100hours

thats a good friend then

focus on the pc not the tarkov 😛

[patent heath]

Used to be

INDONESIA RUSH (server is open now)

[patent heath]

I played early 2020 to late 2020

[patent heath]

Shit burnt me out on games for two years

[topaz field]

Anyone up for some TDM?

PS4

AAVXNK

TDM Exposure

Damn nobody plays portal?

[next onyx]

Getting back into my groove with that 50 kill average per game lesh go.

[zealous patio]

I have a question for controller players

Whats your r2 threshhold ?

[next onyx]

95%.

Weird number that I had changed that I forgot I have unless I look into my settings.

Wait the fire or aim button?

[zealous patio]

Fire

[next onyx]

Yeah that's how I've done my fire it shouldn't matter too much.

Have you changed your deadzones?

[zealous patio]

Yup

[next onyx]

Stick deadzones.

Good!

[silk surge]

@onyx mica "Playing Battlefield 2042 for 11 hours" bruh

[zealous patio]

Right stick 0 deadzone

[next onyx]

Now turn on invert.

[zealous patio]

Left %5

[next onyx]

Weird that you have the right one on 0%.

I dunno, It feels like for the left one you'd want none of it while for the right a tiny bit.

[frank tartan]

@onyx mica take a break man 💀

[silk surge]

I've had 10 hours BF2042 sessions, and I've felt mentally exhausted by the end of them.

[next onyx]

Dude has better will than us all.

I lost a lot of my willpower grinding for level 500 in bf5.

[silk surge]

I played a lot of BFV, I think I even reached the 1k hours mark, and I didn't even come close to level 500.

[onyx mica]

oooooooooooooo

no i am afk not playing

[silk surge]

I wonder how true this statement is on the fact-sheet given to content creators. Kevin gave some conflicting information right after... But it sounds like DICE is at least entertaining the possibility of abandoning 128p all together.

[jovial minnow]

im excited whatever that update may be

[next onyx]

2750 hours.

I got a bunch of personal challenges done there too.

50K FG42 kills. 2 KPM a bunch of others too.

[silk surge]

https://tenor.com/view/damn-shookt-shocked-gif-5580082

[next onyx]

I really enjoyed the game despite its massive flaws.

[silk surge]

I barely got past 1KPM. You don't wanna see my BFV stats, you'd be depressed.

[next onyx]

I've been through every patch every controversy, Every death, every kill.

Meh doesn't matter.

I don't give a shit about a persons stats unless they're an asshole.

[silk surge]

I think I had 2.40KD and 1.05KPM at the end.

[next onyx]

Keep doing what you do best dude. Killing people and having fun.

[silk surge]

Oh I'm an asshole, you should see my KD with stealth helis.

My 2042 stats page has 300 views because of how upset people has been with me.

[next onyx]

Doesn't matter if you fly stealth choppers. I mean with your actual attitude.

If they had a view bit there. I wonder how many views I would have had for my bf5 stats.

From launch then on.

[silk surge]

Since you played a lot, you probably had a lot of views on your stat page. People have a tendency to search for you if they were in a lobby that you dominated.

[next onyx]

Yeah true. Though I mean if they had that view part since the start of bf5.

It'd be cool.

[silk surge]

Yeah, I wish BFV tracker had a view count.

[next onyx]

it has it now.

But yeah.

[silk surge]

I've gotten a surprising amount of DMs from people shaming me over my level and time played in 2042. Never happened in BFV.

[next onyx]

Whew.

I've gotten tonnes.

[silk surge]

That's quite a lot. A littler over 128p lobby of people who has searched for you.

[next onyx]

Got someone calling me an insect for sitting in a tank that I haven't sat in ages.

I just wanted to push with my black churchill man.

You should have seen the cheat reports I got.

[arctic grove]

Why is nobody on bf rn it’s literally Saturday

[next onyx]

What's the time, What region?

[arctic grove]

7:38am I’m pacific time

[next onyx]

That's still very early.

[silk surge]

Usually skyrockets during weekends late in afternoon GMT.

Because a lot of Europeans are playing 2042.

[next onyx]

I still remember one Sunday there were 138K playing black ops 2 world wide.

Now the game barely has 1000 players.

It's due to happen but I grew up with that game and I never dipped below 28K.

[silk surge]

The game is currently at its 24-hour peak

[next onyx]

Not bad for a game that lost the 90% of its playerbase.

I don't care that it's natural for all games but you know.

It's better than what it was 3 months ago.

Hopefully they can do way more to it.

[silk surge]

I would guess it's currently at like 30k across all platforms.

Assuming that Steam makes up 20% of the playerbase

[next onyx]

A population counter would be nice.

Yeah.

I remember when COD started to phase that shit out.

[digital pawn]

each time i try to get into a game, i either get put into an empty lobby or it sends me back to the main menu and will always put me into same game every time. any fixes??

[chilly jacinth]

start a different mode

[dull carbon]

Enable crossplay

[frank tartan]

its already enabled

[dull carbon]

Huh

Are you the same person

[little lagoon]

Lol

[frigid cairn]

If it’s stuck searching for players then backing out and re-searching usually works for me, and last resort I switch modes

[trim basin]

what's the 1hk range for GVT now?

[next onyx]

Don't think it has it anymore.

Before it was 20< M.

[trim basin]

oh rip

just picked it up to t1 it, i get the nerf tho

[tranquil turtle]

They nerfed the gvt but not the wildcat's flak pods

So my friend revived me and this happened.... What?

https://twitter.com/DanielWootton6/status/1548316092392964096?t=yfL_61tIy2DzZKvSexhyDQ&s=19

[prisma plover]

fucking input lag

[tepid agate]

And then this happened moments later 💀 https://twitter.com/DanielWootton6/status/1548315642914557952?t=s55UcjRV2XJiiWDIpgqolQ&s=19

[little lagoon]

Finally Dice added in the Ass Cam

[tepid agate]

They need to fix this

[little lagoon]

That truck video is hilarious. I would die laughing

And leave the ass cam out of this.

[tepid agate]

Still buggy wth

[little lagoon]

Every game is technically buggy

All the previous Battlefield games are still buggy.

These bugs are so infrequent and uncommon

You're over exaggerating

[prisma plover]

why do i have so much input lag

[tepid agate]

This battlefield has had so many patches though. Don't expect this to still happen like that

[chilly jacinth]

and all of the other games has had more patches

[zealous horizon]

man this T1 vehicle mastery trophy is beyond cancer

takes 10x longer than any other trophy

I just want to run AGM and destroy tanks and wildcats but the stealth heli comes by and crunches me into a ball of tin foil with it's 30mm

[tropic delta]

oh my - I just realized. what if dice isnt getting rid of specialists and reintroduced classes?! then I am stuck with specialists I never played because I never wanted to, if I want to play a certain class!

GOD DAMN

these specialists are ruining the game in every possible way

[wary hamlet]

anybody on?

Looking for gamers to play my Finish Him TDM quads style 16 v 16

No reason to use little bird

Same with attack helis stealth heli is just so strong

[zealous patio]

highpower ammo SVK cant kill with 1 hs 1 body from 100m ? 😮

[little lagoon]

Nah

[zealous patio]

nah they are kinda cool but they need to be set as class like assault (sundance-mackey) support (boris-irish) etc. etc.

with this way everyone cant pick recoiless or medic or stuff

this'll fix most infantry and ground vehicle problems

one day i wish i wont be so helpless as a tank to 6 ppl with recoiless

IM A TANK!, oh no run infantry running to us 😄

also need active protection

[wary hamlet]

class system is dead

who begs to be restricted?

[tall portal]

Dude it takes so long of my pc to load in when I load in the game already ends

[spark pumice]

Guys would u say bf2042 is worth it

Cuz I'm abt to get it

[ionic ether]

I think now it is

[spark pumice]

Nice

Even on last gen?

I'm getting a series x soon I hope tho

[ionic ether]

Oh idk I’m on series s and it’s pretty good

[spark pumice]

OK ty

[mortal briar]

is it just me or is battlefields performance better after the update

[tall portal]

How do I make my loading screen faster

[silk surge]

BF2042 will soon be the third Battlefield game that I have 1k+ hours logged in.

[tall portal]

when I join in the game ends somebody please help I’m on a Xbox series x

Is battlefield 2 dead

[silk surge]

Very much yes. Even Project Reality is a ghost town in 2022.

[tall portal]

I remember when it use to have 200+ users

[silk surge]

I tried playing a game, but there wasn't a single lobby up in my region.

[spiral folio]

i played a lot of bf2 but it's definitely dated

[tall portal]

Bf3 too?

[spiral folio]

probably

bf4 was basically just bf3 with less quicktime and better cheating prevention

[tall portal]

Bf4 feels the funnest of them all

[silk surge]

BF3 is doing decently considering that the game is over a decade old. You'll probably find 1 or 2 Caspian Border / Dam Peak 24/7 servers that are full.

[spiral folio]

by the time i got 4, everyone had moved to bf1

[tall portal]

I love the campaign mode

[silk surge]

Yeah, the BF3 campaign was way ahead of its time graphically speaking.

[tall portal]

Bf3 campaign was the most depressing

[spiral folio]

bf1 was probably my favorite fps campaign since cod2

[silk surge]

BF4 is flourishing, you'll find 4-5 full servers in each gamemode on every platform right now. BFV is literally more active than 2042, BF1 is also doing really well.

[spiral folio]

yea but i hate bf5s balance

[next onyx]

Bf5 had some questionable choices.

[silk surge]

As in vehicle balance?

[next onyx]

What specifically annoyed you?

[spiral folio]

the AT rifles, vehicles, lotta anti-sniper bs

[next onyx]

At rifles were annoying.

[spiral folio]

ammo capacities, scope glare

the AT rifles SUCKED

[tropic delta]

No they are absolute waste, only a really strange person would like them, I can't find one single good point about them. But... what do they say more power to you if you enjoy it.

[next onyx]

They were the most annoying thing to be killed by.

Though they did fix ammo capacities thankfully.

[silk surge]

I know it's illegal to say, but I loved the attrition in BFV. It gave more room to make tanks feel like actual war machines, and added a lot of emphasis to support play.

[spiral folio]

the panzerbusche irl has a velocity of like 1400m/s ingame it's like 100m/s like a grenade launcher or something

[tall portal]

I saw a plane in 2042 hit the ground and then just fly to space

Before the update

[next onyx]

To be honest.

[spiral folio]

the one thing i liked bf5 added bf1 didn't have was ammo dumps

[silk surge]

Well yeah, they're not going to add an AT rifle with 1400m/s velocity, that'd be completely broken.

[spiral folio]

and building was nice

[next onyx]

If tanks could repair an infinite amount on their own inside that'd be nice.

[tall portal]

What do you guys think had the best graphics

[silk surge]

Imagine being beamed by a BOYS AT or Panzerbusche right after you spawn at the beginning of a game.

[next onyx]

I loved bf5 through and through personally despite its issues.

[spiral folio]

the .50cal in 2042 isnt bad, the damage is kinda garbage though

[next onyx]

I mained support to high hell in that game and it's the best support alongside Battlefield hardlines.

Who wouldn't love going ham with the FG42.

[silk surge]

BFV was extremely underrated. If people had gotten over superficial shit like women in a WW2 game, they'd know.

[spiral folio]

well people begged for female characters during bf1 and got em

[tall portal]

Why tho

[spiral folio]

something to beg for

[tall portal]

On steam the 2042 ratings are terrible

[silk surge]

Weren't they added for the Russian faction in 'In the Name of the Tsar' DLC?

[tacit sorrel]

Yea

[spiral folio]

planes were wildly broken in bf5 one reason i went back to bf1

they could out-range AA without trying and AA even when it hit was anemic

[tall portal]

I love 2042 specialists

[tacit sorrel]

Bfv AA was so trash early on

Shot nerf darts lol

[tall portal]

Why is war zone so popular

[tacit sorrel]

Because cod fanboys are brainwashed

[tall portal]

People who play cod have no life

[trim basin]

bfv planes still kinda dumb

[foggy halo]

Galaxy brain lol

[trim basin]

i do miss good mouse input and quick aim spec for bolt actions tho :(

[tacit sorrel]

Cod maps haven’t been good since forever

[tall portal]

They cost so much and are terrible

I can buy 4 battlefield games for one of their terrible games

[prisma plover]

cod has less input lag than 2042

[trim basin]

true lol

[prisma plover]

and no vehicle andys

[tacit sorrel]

They add shipment and fanboys think it’s the greatest game ever lol

[tall portal]

cod games are like Fortnite

[prisma plover]

fortnite has less input lag than 2042

[tall portal]

Yes

[uncut bay]

Cost so much? What a dumbass argument lmao

Triple A prices have been the same for years, this year is the first time it’s being increased by 10

[tacit sorrel]

Cod games are expensive compared tho

[tall portal]

yeah

[prisma plover]

why would they not be expensive when people buy them anyways

[tall portal]

the milking the users every last penny

[prisma plover]

poor guy mentality

[tacit sorrel]

Even the older games are pricey

[tall portal]

Yeah the game prices don’t go down even for the out dates ones

[tacit sorrel]

You can get bf1 for like $10

[tall portal]

War zone 1000gb

[uncut bay]

Comparing old game prices as some sort of dig at a franchise is dumb

[tall portal]

wtf

[tacit sorrel]

And that’s with all the dlc

[uncut bay]

Pick a proper argument, there are plenty

[tall portal]

Kato if you want to go argue then go somewhere else

[trim basin]

at least cod games don't have input latency lol

[uncut bay]

Google the definition of an argument

Hard to believe people still struggle with it

[prisma plover]

cod took 125gb for me

idk what u boofing boy

[tacit sorrel]

It’s a valid argument

[trim basin]

mr ross just wants a groupthink echo chamber

[tall portal]

It’s a valid opinion

[trim basin]

and if people disagree u tell them to go somewhere else?

[tacit sorrel]

Cod retains a higher price

[trim basin]

[tall portal]

the campaign of battlefield 10/10

[trim basin]

2042 doesnt have one

[uncut bay]

It’s hardly an argument to attack the pricing of old games instead of gameplay or monetisation, things that actually affect how good a game is

[tacit sorrel]

They do it to force you into buying the newest cod it’s pretty scummy

[uncut bay]

Not really forcing anybody to do anything

[spiral folio]

eh i havent played a call of duty since world at war, didn't buy it either

they ruined it

[uncut bay]

Also this convo is better suited for #other-games

[trim basin]

true

[spiral folio]

main reason i got 2042 was bot battles actually

[tall portal]

It’s awful

[arctic grove]

So basically they are going back on another selling point. just like HZ

[ebon fern]

😂

[prisma plover]

the old cods is usually on sale aswell

[spiral folio]

i loved playing bot battles in 1942 and bf2

it's a nice way to blow off steam

[prisma plover]

so you are kind of zooted out rn @tacit sorrel

[tacit sorrel]

Imagine paying full price for a 3+ yo game lmao

[arctic grove]

bot battles bf3 when?

[spiral folio]

if bf1 had bot battles i'd do that all the time

[tall portal]

60 dollars

[ebon fern]

I saw BF2042 for 16$ the other day mmh

[trim basin]

i paid 30$ for it a few weeks ago wdym

[prisma plover]

full price bro @trim basin ......

[trim basin]

damn i got scammed? 💀

[tacit sorrel]

Digital is full price

[prisma plover]

why do u need digital

[trim basin]

so dont buy it?

[ebon fern]

I see why tho the lesson is learned this time for the triple A company? 😜

[prisma plover]

I paid 60 dollars for a game that has input lag and a bunch of helicopter andys

value

pre-alpha lookin AHHH

[tacit sorrel]

Then play cod if you want brain dead gameplay that has been a reskin for years now

[tall portal]

Cod is just a big company of brain dead people

[prisma plover]

I dont see how flying a helicopter getting 90 assists, flying back and forth behind the same fucking building isnt brain dead gameplay

Xd

[ebon fern]

The weirdest thing about the BF series, now we need to wait another year for a new title and yet we don’t know if that’s gonna be good

[tall portal]

We just had battlefield 2042

[magic harness]

BF1 one was 1.5 years after the previous one

[tacit sorrel]

Bf1 🐐

[ebon fern]

It can be over already nobody would notice

[magic harness]

Yep

2042 will probably only have the 4 seasons

Then the cord will be pulled

[tacit sorrel]

Probably

[tall portal]

Are you stupid? Do you know how long it takes to make high quality games

[magic harness]

1.5 years apparently

Bf4 took 2

[spiral folio]

the bots have been in dev since bf1 dev ended

and bf4 is basically bf3 there's not a ton of difference

a lot of bf4's upgrade was back end

[tall portal]

Bf3 storyline is depressing but fun

[frigid cairn]

sounds like someone is jealous that they don't know how to fly lol

[tacit sorrel]

It would be over already if they didn’t sell the gold upgrade contractually obligated to give ppl what they paid for

[prisma plover]

Flying is way too easy

[magic harness]

Cancel the next seasons make the next game free for the pass holders lol

[spiral folio]

bf3 had a ton of security holes that allowed client side hacks, like real powerful ones. bf4 patched that because it was such a problem it needed an entire new system for it

[frigid cairn]

you should try it then

[tacit sorrel]

If flying is so ez then why do I spawn in helis with crackhead pilots that can’t hold steady for a single sec while I’m gunning?

[prisma plover]

id rather buy gran turismo to drive vehicles than buying a shooter game

[frigid cairn]

play cod then lmao it's been the king of gunplay since the beginning

[prisma plover]

i play cod aswell

[frigid cairn]

bf is combined arms

that means vehicles

[tacit sorrel]

Helis aren’t even a problem for me

Just use angel with AA

[frigid cairn]

i cant say the stealth isnt op since i got a few games with 90+ kills but you have to do a lot more than hide behind a building lol

however a single rao can halve those kills if they're persistent enough

[tacit sorrel]

You actually need good aim with the cannons as well

[zealous patio]

cannon splash dmg is too much and too wide

thats the problem

also maybe its too fast

[frigid cairn]

itd be fine if the overheat was faster

[tacit sorrel]

Attack heli and little bird aren’t even good anymore really

[frigid cairn]

they ruined the nightbird flight model

[tacit sorrel]

And jets are still meh

Bf4 jets were so good compared to 2042

[frigid cairn]

idk the turning battles kinda sucked

i feel like the dogfights are more interesting in 2042

[tall portal]

2042 needs campaign

[frigid cairn]

air superiority is fun af

[tacit sorrel]

Afterburners and missiles were way better in bf4

Missile delay is dumb in 2042

[ebon fern]

Eh sir really have you played previous titles on jets

[frigid cairn]

yeah most of my dogfights in bf3/4 were just circling around lmao

[tall portal]

No?

[ebon fern]

Circling = dead in 3 Loops

[tall portal]

I just see people is bf3 fly a helicopter and crash

[frigid cairn]

right dogfighting was super formulaic and good if you figured it out and otherwise kinda meh

it's not much better but it wasn't amazing before

[ebon fern]

It’s more then just circling dude you gotta watch the good@pilots doing things

[tall portal]

I saw some just going straight

Down

[copper fulcrum]

But at the end of the day, that's what it usually boils down to

[ebon fern]

Well its supposed to be an arcade gameplay isn’t it

[tall portal]

Ea is the worst game company

[copper fulcrum]

Activision

[ebon fern]

Bf2042 isn’t either when flying jets, 🥱 after one circle and get stalled for no reason

[copper fulcrum]

Pay to win lootbox only weapons in a remaster go brrrrt

[tall portal]

We need more updates

[frigid cairn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LqPHrWhWco

i get that doing circles is simplifying things but come on

[copper fulcrum]

Did they really have to make the opening piano that fucking loud?

clipping out of the fucking ass

[ebon fern]

Dont link 10 years old dogfight videos… link the good ones +- 2 years ago

[tall portal]

@still vault

[copper fulcrum]

Clipping is an audio term

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipping_(audio)

and that opening piano is full of it

[frigid cairn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3krk68cits

[turbid fossil]

So does anyone understand the points system for the Season 1 Badge yet ?

[tall portal]

@twin coral

[copper fulcrum]

bruh

[frigid cairn]

they're pitching up for literally 90%+ of the time

[still vault]

Yes?

[copper fulcrum]

Man doesn't like it when I say a video that was posted has a lot of audio clipping so he pings individual mods

[tall portal]

Harassment

[frigid cairn]

what

[copper fulcrum]

pffft

The complaint wasn't even about you as a user but a video that was posted, man. Move along.

[tall portal]

Harrasment

[frigid cairn]

i think hes trying to troll but is just confusing us lol

[tall portal]

No?

[copper fulcrum]

Anyways, rich, have you actually touched air superiority?

[frigid cairn]

yeah it's fun

[copper fulcrum]

I enjoy it quite a bit, it kinda makes me want the original air vehicle count in 2042

At least just two 'air attack vehicles' instead of one at a time

[tacit sorrel]

The first one was a joke lol

[frigid cairn]

yeah ive been saying since launch that if the infantry mains hate vehicles so much then they should get their own infantry-only playlist on the AoW page with CQB map layouts

[still vault]

You are welcome

[copper fulcrum]

Infantry Arica Harbor is a fun thing to play

[frigid cairn]

then we get the vehicle counts from launch back on the full size maps

[tame cobalt]

One thing i like about breakthrough that i wish rush had is the ticket system

How you start with a ton and get some new ones when u push a sector

[naive sedge]

I'm so tired of the inconsistent bullet lead times in this fucking shit game

it's like fucking whack-a-mole, plus rubberbanding

[tall portal]

your opinion is not valid

[copper fulcrum]

Aight

[tame cobalt]

Lol

[tall portal]

😂

[mossy badge]

only good developers they got is respawn 🙏

[next onyx]

I mean if it weren't for the ST heli abuse it wouldn't be so difficult.

[tall portal]

True though

[next onyx]

Cause Arica is quite enjoyable as infantry.

Well I'll reword that.

[tacit sphinx]

the point of rush is more that as long as you get the objective done, you move on with the same chance if you steamrolled the sector or if you clutched it in overtime, but it would be interesting to experiment with the breakthrough style

[next onyx]

It can be enjoyable as infantry but ST Helis just ruin it.

I do like how with rush you have a reduced ticket count but it's refilled at each sector.

[copper fulcrum]

I did say Infantry Arica Harbor though

[next onyx]

Alright.

[tall portal]

Like I said your opinion is not valid today

[tacit sphinx]

yeah mixes it up from breakthrough a bit, i do feel like it would change the way it plays quite significantly

[tacit sorrel]

Bombs should have a longer cooldown or stealth mode more limited

[copper fulcrum]

Ya know when that one featured "Infantry Conquest" mode shows up in portal

[next onyx]

Yeah I can't exactly play Portal experiences because of how small my region is.

In a way @tacit sphinx you could say that Frontlines is a more... Grounded version of Titan and Carrier assault.

With the way breakthrough is made it just reminds me how dice have made these modes.

[naive sedge]

I love playing with AI at peak gaming hours...

[tacit sphinx]

in the way that it's like back and forth i guess? honestly would like frontlines to make a return at some point, it's a fun mode

[next onyx]

Frontlines is amazing.

[tall portal]

please stop annoying me

[copper fulcrum]

How well would Frontlines work in 2042? Perhaps they would get rid of the Condor and Hinds?

[next onyx]

Yes.

Remove helicopters, Have only tanks. Do what bf1 and 5 did.

[naive sedge]

'fraid I can't control what annoys you

[tall portal]

Blocked

[next onyx]

Transports would still exist like the MAV.

[copper fulcrum]

What about War Pigeons?

[next onyx]

Mmh maybe have some random drone that goes straight up.

[tall portal]

Has anyone here seen bf6 preview

[next onyx]

Drone uplink, Carrying tonnes of data.

[naive sedge]

go paint a pretty mountain, might make you feel better

[next onyx]

Honestly. I think they can reuse hazard zone assets and recreate blood money from hardline.

[copper fulcrum]

But first you have to decrypt it or something

[tame cobalt]

The reason I'd like it in rush is cuz it prevents games from ending super early

[next onyx]

Yeah, Decrypt it and then release it.

My friends random bugged ping made me think how well it could work on 2042.

For Blood money.

[tall portal]

The drone system in 2042 is cool

[copper fulcrum]

I mean, I imagine someone can make it in the TDM Rules editor

[noble scaffold]

lmao

[next onyx]

Have three satellites crash, Two closer to each sides spawn but the middlemost carries the most valuable drives.

You can only carry 10 drives, 10 terabites of data which you have to get back to your own base but as we all know... The enemy team can steal it.

I love blood money for these things. It was weirdly intuitive.

Cause you could just hunt for money by killing people and work off that.

[tall portal]

Me and my team never got full extraction

[next onyx]

And you'd get so many points bringing back a full load.

[copper fulcrum]

Too bad hardline gets like 20 people total at a time nowadays

[tall portal]

what’s the best gun in 2042 damage whys but not sniper

[tall portal]

I feel like the older battlefield games are dying

[tame cobalt]

Good idea, hope dice are listening,

Someone should probs make a forum post about that idea

[next onyx]

It's not really original.

It was a thing done back on hardline.

it was my favourite mode.

[tame cobalt]

Still, dice should hear we'd want it and they can use HZ assets for it

[next onyx]

It would be cool if there were random satellite crashes mid match so you could get some lore or special tag.

But yeah.

[copper fulcrum]

Imagine dying by a fucking fallen satellite

You're about to pull a flank and then BAM

[next onyx]

Can't say I've never witnessed it happening.

Back on Cod ghosts, Witnessed my poor teammate get absolutely swamped.

[copper fulcrum]

Advanced Warfare had orbital drops that would absolutely slam into the ground

[next onyx]

Oh yeah one would destroy an Osprey that'd come to rescue you on Exo Zombies.

[bronze steeple]

👆

[hidden sand]

I feel like people are slowly but surely realizing the 50mm is just as strong as it was before.

Got followed around by it in a tank, once again lol.

[hallow sierra]

i just see someone get 100 kills and 1 death

idk if he was using heli tho

[naive sedge]

he was

[hallow sierra]

yea i tho so

[naive sedge]

you can bet on it

only a smooth brain moron would put the stealth heli's in the game the way they are

[wise zodiac]

Why you gotta insult peeps?

[tacit sorrel]

It’s unbalanced asf

[copper fulcrum]

You have to use every single possible buzzword. That's just the way it is

[naive sedge]

When you fuck up this big, this many times, and I pay my $ for it...

[wise zodiac]

sigh

The game is fun man you just need to think positive and it becomes better

[naive sedge]

My comments have been made. The game speaks for itself. The player counts speak for itself. AI in a peak hours speaks for itself.

[mossy badge]

what do you think about steam numbers

[foggy halo]

you just don't know how to destroy them.

it's your problem.

[mossy badge]

rao works

[still vault]

Rao doesn't kill anything, he is just an annoyance

they need to make it disable flares

[ebon fern]

Someone said it’s a skillissue but can’t remember his name lol

[foggy halo]

rao & aa missiles

[foggy halo]

@foggy halo

lol

[still vault]

they just pop flares and fly away, hacking need to disable flares for Rao to properly counter

[round relic]

yo can someone help me

[still vault]

Remember back when all complained the new specialist was too powerful? 😄

Just because there was a lot of them.

[round relic]

my battlefield stuck in the loading screen i scanned files its till doing the same thing

[foggy halo]

I think it already disables flares...

[round relic]

just repeating the same thing

[foggy halo]

I know that you can't repair when you are hacked

They pop flares just fine when I have hacked them

[serene adder]

should i go with pbx or k30?

[still vault]

Most pick K30 but both are good. Try them both out and pick whatever works best for you.

[serene adder]

ok ty

[glossy storm]

What's up, BF folks?

[serene adder]

yeah i think ill go with k30

[copper fulcrum]

Everything is going great

[rapid moon]

Got my first T1 today

Yay

Lets not talk about what it is tho

It took a lot of skill to get

[glass bison]

what is a T1?

[rapid moon]

Tier 1

[serene adder]

mastery

[glass bison]

ohhhhh gotcha

[rapid moon]

When you max level something like a gun or gadget

[glass bison]

got mine with DM7

working on ac42

[rapid moon]

I just got it on the fucking med pen

[glass bison]

lmao!

nice

need them heals out here

[rapid moon]

Not really lol

[rapid moon]

Fr

I just wish they recharged

[arctic grove]

20 more tiers till i hit 100

[rapid moon]

Mf im tier 24 how

[glass bison]

im 41 :x

[rapid moon]

Well its not like i play a lot but still

[arctic grove]

lmao I highly recommend doing all weekly challenges including the bonuses

[glass bison]

anyone know if theyll bring back hardcore

[rapid moon]

Yeah i know

But i cant bring myself to play this game sometimes

[arctic grove]

understandable

same with me since i dont have friends to play with

[rapid moon]

Yeah same

[glass bison]

heard that

i have one buddy that takes it serious with me but getting a squad would be legit

[hallow sierra]

same but idc tbh

[arctic grove]

Anyone else miss the launch for 2042???

[hardy crow]

Just had 6 deaths in a row from teammate jets ramming into me on Air Superiority matches.

[arctic grove]

Bro your team is trash

[chilly jacinth]

maybe you're the problem

[arctic grove]

how is he the problem?

[hardy crow]

Nope. Was flying fine then a rando teammate just comes in, rams me and sends me into the ground or a building

[chilly jacinth]

i said maybe not definitely

[foggy halo]

🤔

[hardy crow]

Literally my last 6 deaths over 2 matches were teamkills

I will say sometimes it doesn't show your teammates' tags on the aircraft so maybe they thought I was an enemy

[tame cobalt]

Hope they post annother update about kaleido 2.0 soon

Or will they wait till the day it's actually added?

Just a release date would be poggers

[arctic grove]

August

[tame cobalt]

That's a month, not a date

[spare quest]

season 2

[arctic grove]

True

[tame cobalt]

That's just not even true

[spare quest]

it is look it up

[arctic grove]

If I had to guess

Mid august

[arctic grove]

They said it’s coming in august tho

[spare quest]

soon

i only get very random fps. sometimes they are good, sometimes they go down crazy

[hardy crow]

It's fun watching the stealth helis struggle in Air Superiority

It's fun watching the Stealth Helis struggle

[hazy sun]

so far patches have been begining of the month, its safe to assume we will get august patch at the same schedule

[glossy storm]

I forever wanna sit in a flying hovercraft.

[charred stag]

Alright so I decided to use the marksman rifles again. Tried using the DM7 but my setup was terrible with it. Tried using a suppressor and even without it I couldn't get any kills. Took like 3-4 shots

[foggy halo]

they don't

[charred stag]

Swapped to the SVK and am having so much fun 2 shotting people. And the best part is it catches them off guard when I have dozer's shield active

[spare quest]

some do if you keep hacking them as soon as they get close to your team

[uncut bay]

i prefer to see them exploding

caught one being greedy yesterday and it's just so satisfying

[charred stag]

Problem is sometimes they fly to a very high altitude and spam bombs

[spare quest]

cowards

[charred stag]

And in breakthrough,if you're the defender and you don't have an air vehicle,you gotta deal with that the whole game

[uncut bay]

yeah, the higher sky ceiling was a bit of a mistake imo

[charred stag]

They should at least limit it for the stealth helicopters

Only for those

[chilly jacinth]

it was a mistake adding the bombs

[uncut bay]

i remember near release when basically all helicopters would just sit at the top of the sky and let their gunners shoot people with no chance of fighting back

[tall portal]

Your a mistake

[charred stag]

Nah I like the bomb feature

It's pretty fun bombing groups of enemies

[uncut bay]

i dislike the bombs a lot

[tall portal]

Counter Arabian

[arctic grove]

thanks bob ross

[charred stag]

I like them and don't mind being killed by them,but if it's by someone who's at a very high altitude,that's a problem

[uncut bay]

i expected stealth to be an easy way to escape in exchange for no way to attack, but the gunner can still shoot and you can still drop bombs that severely damage infantry and vehicles

just not fair

[tall portal]

Your welcome I will paint your death

[arctic grove]

Lis and AA can help with that

[spare quest]

it took me too long to find out that the NWT can disable the stealth mode

[uncut bay]

there's also no time limit on stealth mode afaik, which is absurd

if there is one, it's far too long

should add some sort of overheating after x seconds

[spare quest]

a time limit for stealth mode sounds pretty good ngl

[uncut bay]

like with guns. Stay in stealth for, say, 15-20 seconds and you take damage and get locked out of stealth for an extended amount of time. Disable stealth before that and you get the regular cooldown

makes no sense to completely ignore IR missiles by going stealth and have zero repercussions to yourself while essentially cooking the helicopter from the inside

[charred stag]

Hmm it does compromise the fact that you get taken out of stealth when damaged. I'm thinking that could work if they make it so that even if you take damage,you won't be removed from stealth

Because imagine waiting, getting stealth for 15-20 seconds and immediately being kicked off for getting damaged

[uncut bay]

seems fair to me

you can be forced out of stealth and you also can't use it forever

assuming everything else stays as is, which i've already expressed my views on

either way stealth helicopters deserve a nerf

[spare quest]

the pilot mains will rage if it actually happens

[uncut bay]

they always do

they think vehicles need to be overpowered and cry when enemies actually have a fighting chance

[spare quest]

im still waiting for the global chat so i can see the enemy's shittalking

[dapper river]

all 10 of them? oh noooooo!

[dapper river]

I'd love that, at least in portal modes lmao

[spare quest]

why only in portal?

battlefield mp always had a global chat, just not in 2042

[fiery dawn]

Idk… every reasonable player agrees the stealth helis are broken. I’m a pilot main and I can’t imagine a world where the stealth helis don’t eventually get nerfed. they are WAY too strong. Same with the Super Hind and Condor. I love flying the air transports, but that cannon HAD to be nerfed

[dapper river]

because AOW is the hugbox where you're not allowed to type mean things to the enemy or switch teams lul

[fiery dawn]

This though^ I miss all chat where you could banter with the enemy team :(

[spare quest]

oh no mean things this is not a child game

[spare quest]

exactly

[uncut bay]

yeah no global chat makes the game feel very different from others imo

just way less of a community feel, people rarely talk in it now

[fiery dawn]

yep

[spare quest]

having a chat with the other team can be great

[uncut bay]

can't congratulate an enemy for a good shot and can't shit talk an enemy for a coward shot

[fiery dawn]

Somebody should make a petition to ask Dice to add all-chat back to BF

I’m too lazy to do it but I’d sign it

[spare quest]

i think there's like 1 community manager in the subreddit who actually reads the posts

forgot who it was

[charred stag]

I always tell myself they should just play something like war thunder

[uncut bay]

yeah, battlefield has always been primarily an infantry game with vehicles as a supplement to the battle. Things get all sorts of wack when you make vehicles op with little counter

especially when you only make one type of vehicle op

jets and tanks are in desperate need of a buff

[hexed mango]

there are a bunch of counters tho just nobody uses them

[spare quest]

can you kamikaze crash helicopters in 2042 or do you just bounce off

[hexed mango]

yeah

hitting anything fast enough will kill you

or the other thing

[spare quest]

the last time i flew jets i kept bouncing off trees and other objects

[fiery dawn]

Big time

[spare quest]

why tank buff?

[fiery dawn]

They are helpless sitting ducks

[uncut bay]

little health, little speed, no aps

basically sitting ducks yeah

[fiery dawn]

Especially with Lis in the game

[spare quest]

Lis rockets do low damage tho

[hexed mango]

if you hit the trees too fast head on you will die, but if you just tap them on the wing or underside while flying you bounce, however most good trees will be destroyed when you run into them

[uncut bay]

yeah lis might not do a lot of damage but she can pressure tanks constantly, plus if she has c4 it's over

lis is basically a javelin with how crazy the rockets can get

[spare quest]

I only use the Lis rocket launcher to bully snipers

[hexed mango]

yeah but tanks can still be easily camped by her, they have no protection against her

[spare quest]

the gunner can easily shoot the rocket

[hexed mango]

not easily

[uncut bay]

lis rockets are very hard to shoot down even with miniguns

[spare quest]

eh

[uncut bay]

esp if you're in motion, which the tank probably will be

tanks need aps back imo

[spare quest]

well yeah, i guess it depends on the tank movement and rocket angle

[novel marsh]

hello

[spare quest]

[full burrow]

is it me or is the focus on the soflam a bit funny?

[spare quest]

hello

[spare quest]

wdym

[stray bay]

God no
that shit was way too annoying to deal with in bf4

[full burrow]

like if your looking right at it it wont lock on right at times, or say your looking out of a window and cos the bottom of the window is in the way a bit you cant lock on ect

[fiery dawn]

Yeah I know what you’re talking about. Not just you

Sometimes it just refuses to cooperate

[hexed mango]

tbh idk if tanks need aps, but just a big buff

[full burrow]

yeah like ive had to "scope" in and out several times sometimes before it will agree to lock

[hexed mango]

maybe the thing was out of range lel idk

[stray bay]

IMO lockons need more than 400m of range

[spare quest]

that also happens with the hacking gadget from rao, sometimes even with the AA launcher

[stray bay]

when the maps are so large

[full burrow]

ive only just unlocked it but yeah its noticeable, im just suprised its so clearly flawed without fix

[spare quest]

what was the max. soflam range in bf4 for comparison?

[full burrow]

yeah the range sucks too cos its not too bad horizontally but vertically its a bit when they just go straight up

[stray bay]

500m

with smaller maps

[hexed mango]

500m in bf4
PLD has 300m in bf4

[spare quest]

500m sounds good

soflam has great zoom

[stray bay]

when the maps are 3-4x that in size?
the range needs to be bumped up for all lock ons to at least 700m - 800m

[spare quest]

i don't think they will ever change the soflam because it feels like noone ever uses it, sadly

[full burrow]

maybe airspace playzone should work like a dome

[hexed mango]

note that the SOFLAM in 2042 is (functionally) like the PLD from 4

[full burrow]

so that only in the middle of map they can go so high up

[stray bay]

or

just limit the max height everywhere

cause its way too high on all maps
