no when did i ask
i mean, have at it, just trying to kind of warn you so you dont get in trouble
it did deal 60 damage, i dont use them so idk if that's increased but then you got hit by something else for the last 9 damage? not sure what it was, probably a second missile
i got hit by one lockon, which was that one ir missile
for some reason i seriously think the SU's IR does more damage
i thought it looked like it jumped down and then went another step, if you scrub through the video you can see it go from 69 -> 9 briefly then something else damages you
idk, might just be a weird effect of how it handles damage or smth
yeah but nothing else hits me besides that IR, its just one hit

I am once again complaining about console players getting autoaim
skill issue
Pardon me, aim assist**
fr
I don't think it is a skill issue, I've actually been doing a lot better lately
nah you're just so bad that you lose to console player and then blame aim assist
Usually when I play the 64 player conquest with the rotating maps from old games i can get in the top 8
ok
ok
It's just annoying getting one or two shot by the SVK and seeing it's some level 200 console player
blaming aim assist is also not brag worthy
That's all I'm really complaining about
yeah, the svk is a good gun. thats why
Yes and it's even better when the game aims for you and all you have to do is pull the trigger
people on both control schemes will die to someone on the opposing controls and blame it solely on that because it's impossible that they simply lost
👶
some console players act like MnK instantly puts you to the skill ceiling, some mnk players act like... well. the example at hand 
i mean i think there's a higher skill ceiling for mnk with certain things you can pull off, but most players are not anywhere near that meaning anything
Boy you guys sure are Toxic™
im shit at controller i rather mnk
whats with the personal attacks anyway im complaining about a setting , im not insulting any of you
i mean when you complain that you get killed because someone has aim assist, that makes you bad. case closed.
Because everyone here had their friends and family disown them for enjoying this game, thus they have become ornery and toxic.
Haven't seen controller players with any significant advantage in this game, except maybe with air vehicles. As it should be ¯_(ツ)_/¯
For comparison, COD is full of cracked out controller kiddies abusing their strike packages or scufs or whatever and slidehopping every half second and playing every day like it's the fucking CDL 
also controller is harder then mnk
im just saying it's annoying when it happens 3 or 4 times a match im not saying all console players are to blame or anything
this comes from a person dat have like 94 hours of controller in this game
its bad i hate it
and i wrote Toxic™ like that to indicate sarcasm not to actually be serious
depends how strong AA is, in 2042 its pretty fair from my experience. warzone and halo have absolutely bs levels of AA though
i mean we're specifically talking 2042
Surprised to learn that 2042 doesn't have native kbm support on consoles, when most crossplat games do. O well, more controller players to farm for Tier 1 
AA doesnt even help most of the time in this game
i dont think most people know there are different degrees of AA or even types of AA for that matter though
thats howi feel, 2042 is just a test of how well you can shoot fish in a barrel, even pc players since they seem generally horrible too
PC players get shit performance, console players get shit aim. Everyone is shit, perfectly balanced 
surprising
mods dont inherently help with the game
they are just normal people that help keep the discord clean

one thing im concern about playing on controller is how ppl recoil and shoot at the same time
depends on the level of aim stick i feel like that just naturally helps control recoil
Me too, it's my favorite letter
s is my favorite letter
not sure what you are asking for joka
i mean the kontrolfreek thumbsticks
oh analog stick extenders? they have a lot of names, i used them when i used to play on console, they really do help
well guess dats another item in my list
they used to be like 10 bucks, i imagine they are cheaper now
S for skill issue
I have an extended stick that came with my elite controller. I tried using it but I hated it.
wtf nvm they are not cheaper than 10 bucks now
did you try it for a single game and stop or give it a good day or 2?
I'm just using short convex kontrolfreeks
I did try it for like a day
didn't like the taller ones
I use a rounded thumbstick for my right analog
they would of course feel weird at first, but i got used to them and loved them
the only thing that sucked is that i used them for ps3 so the analog sticks were super close together and i would hit the two sticks together often
same, I used to use rounded on both, but switched to concave on the left for pressing sprint easily
Bing Bong
I use left and right trigger at full stop. Sticks at medium. Top back buttons for LB-RB and bottom ones for X-A
Being able to jump while looking around really is game changing.
So i want to ask
is dice aware of the hitreg issues on console players(and to a lesser extent, PC players as well)?
because it feels like its slowly been getting worse since the last major patch
Well, I know we’re getting more aim assist fixes in August
hopes its worth it
yea hitreg it also a issue
i veeeeery rarely suspect hit reg
no worry i keep getting unawarded deaths
well at least u got a free win
doesnt give me any xp tho
A win is a win
Indeed
christ these kontrolfreek thumbsticks cost $30 dats with the shipping price
amazon has them for about 15 bucks with free shipping
Many will enter, only one will emerge in the Battle Royale. Stay in the center of the action with our FPS Freek Battle Royale Nightfall Performance Thumbsticks. These domed, high-rise thumbsticks improve accuracy, comfort and control to keep you fighting and foraging in games like Fortnite, Call ...
ok the shipping price is $9.98
i think my eyes need an update
You're eyes need a remaster
idk what happened to my game at the end, went all blurry
no
well.. thats like the whole point of amazon prime
happened again right after that
You're game is haunted my dude
Burn that shit
theres capture points for air superiority?
i dont really want to burn my pc
yeah. that's how air superiority works
Sell it on eBay
never even flew a plane in 2042
well in other BF games its the same
how do you cap it? is the zone just a massive sphere?
ye
also not flown in other bf games
breh
i literally only use vehicles as spawn points
What is exodus conquest
every once in a blue moon i use them for a few kills
2042 conquest on old (portal) maps
Ok cool
23/40
basically im 60% done with F35
if i just do 2 masteries per day, with 17 remaining ill be done in a little over a week
so i dont need to sweat it
see im glad voip is in this game, but i lowkey wish i could mute all console players (no offense)
i have it enabled and then the most i interact with it it is muting people because i joined a squad where someone is eating their mic or trying to harness the unmatched power of the sun in the next room over
you talk with teammates using vc? lol
moving resupply
no
Pog laser
fr BF3 Conquest is so fucking fun rn
yeah the lasers are all fucked
but, i was told they're fixing them lmao
bf3 project reality is even more fun
i just cant wait for the portal guns to be added to aow
Trying to get some traction on what I think specialists need for a fix. Anyone mind commenting on a post I made?
no
buff, buff and buff, we don't need to talk about it, others already said it
Thanks
there i commented
reddit 😐
ikr
They watch the reddit, so I made it on the reddit
IMO all this game needs is the freaking portal guns in aow
and some vehicle balancing, that's all
only straat watches reddit lol
I definitely agree on this
The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand
portal guns in AOW at least
ok doctor otto Octavius
I also don't really have any problems with specialists, but I want more people to play 2042
true. i think S2 will have a bigger bump in content, and thus players.
god rocket spam in this game is so gay
and if changing specialists to be more like classes will do that, I'm in favor
i hope atleast
yeah i mean i really like that trait idea, something ive noticed in BF3 portal is that classes like support have faster sprint, and i think something like that might make it nicer.
probably game idk
Ppl still playing BF 2042? BF 2042 is so outdated
nice bait
A lot of people against specialists also want some kind of weapon restriction for some reason which was why I included that
If all the portal weapons were added in, you could do that, but not without the portal weapons
I also think it would be thematic because there's no way Nopats in the 2042 lore would all have the latest kit. There'd definitely be some sniper running around with an old No.4 Lee Enfield that he strapped a modern scope onto
nopats are supplied by the two superpowers, so unless it's a specifically nopat-only faction, it makes sense that they have up to date gear
that being said i would like to see old guns with futuristic diy done on it
Not necessarily. If I've been hunting with a WW2 rifle for 10+ years, I probably wouldn't switch to a brand new weapon for a battle next week
They get hired for jobs for the 2 of the remaining superpowers but I don't think we know who supplies their gear. I kinda assumed they got it off countries that no longer exist.
Yeah, I assumed it was mostly scavenged
i think it was implied they get gear from US and RU considering they also provide shelter in exchange for their efforts, but yeah scavenging wouldn't be totally out of the question
That would be an interesting dynamic. All the 2042 stuff on generic soldier classes while the specialists use "personal gear" Which is a limited selection of older stuff
Dunno about providing shelter. I assumed it was just provisions like ammo and food.
I'm eternally sad that I had terrible internet when bf3 came out
in the US briefing pre-round the guy occasionally mentions something about having somewhere to sleep
The first bf game I could really play online was Hardline
Buzz Lightyear moment right here
yeah i have too many ntw skins ngl
i wish it was for the ak or pbx
i think it's supposed to be a mix of they get provided with standard issue stuff and bring their own gear
petition dice to make all skins universal >:(
only 3 more
I'm also pretty happy with all the skins in the game rn too. They are so much more grounded than the absurdity of Cod shit
yeah i like them
its a nice mix of tactic-cool stuff and good looking/fun stuff
bf3/bc2 weapons would make sense, you probably wouldn't be bringing ww2 guns to a fight though if you're already some sort of PMC/mercenary as you'd be equipped already
🥵
Thats kinda interesting. But guess if the No-pats sail around in boat that could mean like a harbour or something.
M1 Garand v. BSV
the boris BP skin uses the same beard iirc
yea but i want a santa hat and red suit for him as well
basically santa
just having the beard isnt the same
That's a gnome
tbh i would love an exposure cq of ages
that torso with the cerebro centurion helmet is basically just a mandalorian
having a 24/7 CQ of ages would be nice to have
where every gun and character could be used in the game at the same time
exp farm 
That dude the other night that threaten to do stuff ever get banned?
yeah
Good dudes a shmuck
saw there were leaks of it going around but havent watched it yet, probably going to wait for it to come out properly with actual decent quality
invis gun
but yeah, especially now the red visor is just black
was going to say idk which i prefer but nvm definitely prefer the black actually
stands out a bit less so overall it feels more coherent, red is fine but especially with other sets it can clash
I just wish they'd change the blue
don't have the bp skin yet though so t1 + gator beanie it is for now
There's so many naval-y skins, wonder why.
i honestly prefer the red
gives a nice contrast to the darker colors of the rest of the outfit
The red looks like an airsofters helmet desperately trying to look cool
To me at least
That’s exactly the vibe I got from it Suika xD
A while ago in a different server I called that combo a Budget Jango Fett. 
What level in the battle pass do you unlock that Boris skin? (Asking for a friend as I’m level 84 and already have the skin)
71?
Ok that sounds familiar
As I just got to the tier it is on
My buddy plays Boris but I don’t think he’s unlocked that skin yet
Gonna tell him about that combo with the centurion helm once he gets it
when is the next update for core feedback?
I think the last post said the next update is for specialistS?
Why cant the TDM playlist stay ffs?
I feel the same way about Conquest of Ages
Is steam down?
has anyone noticed that the legendary hind skin changes alot of how it looks
ye
does it change the cockpit at all?
Hence why it's legendary
Spaghetti
you have a pit of cocks?
Sounds strange
yeah for BF3 Conquest
Delayed probably until august or September
nothing about the rails on guns makes sense. You have 4 rails in all directions, yet you need to choose between a grip and a light? Like... what?
Yea i agree. I’m glad they changed it to black
Game Balance moment
It just made him look like a transformer lol
I don’t mind older guns in AOW, just give me up-to-date guns as well
M45A1, M250, M17, etc
Gross
It is aesthetically amazing
CZ-75 on top
alex did say at one point they were considering the m250 for future seasons, it would certainly make sense given its rifle counterpart is in game
assuming by m250 you mean sig's ngsw lmg
Ye that one
2042 even in lore still places Russia and the US in a position where I’d say plenty of modern and progressively aging guns can be put in the game even when the story is applied
oh yeah
i think a mix of slightly aged guns and cutting edge/future weapons is nice
i kinda wonder if the portal weapons will be ported like as they are or kinda changed up a little in regards to naming like the as val to the bsv
i think most of them work as they are anyway, but some like the g3 could be cool to have an updated version presented as like the swedish tactical version of it the ak4d
With better animations
Some of the portal animations are pure shit
Like the ak74
I think so, since dice said they wanna port them over after they properly design them for 2042s customization, stats and aesthetics
I joined a battlefield chat recently and I was confused as to the sound I was hearing, then 5 mins later it became apparent. Someone was loudly snoring on the mic fast asleep 🤣
question, what is it about specific guns getting into the game that you like? personally i dont care what its called or looks like, i just want more gun variations that perform differently
P90 go brr.
Aesthetics, I don’t mind if guns don’t perform differently like the current selection, like someone had put it here before, being able to use your favorite gun aesthetically speaking and still being able to compete shouldn’t be too much to ask for
Xm8 lmg would be cool to see.
i think the m45a1 was found at one point which would just be a nice modernised version of the m1911
4 is not enough
5 if you count full auto val
Bottom right looks like exposure... Maybe the concept art will reveal new maps
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/battlefield/images/b/b1/The_Art_of_Battlefield_2042_06.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20211114233954
mix of aesthetics and familiarity for most people i would imagine, people like to see stuff they recognise and stuff they've played with before
and cool looking guns
I'd like siege of Shanghai in portal tbh
4 gets a lot of comments now about its gun selection that largely didn’t perform different from one to another gun, but I think it’s more about giving players the choice to choose something they like visually and still be able to compete, not get steamrolled by the meta
Xm8 series, p90, hk416 series, GALIL series.
Oh yeah Dr did you see that data mine by tempo where he dug up mentions of the m2 carbine?
there's also filling niches, like the g3 i think would be a nice addition as an AR to provide that like battle rifle feel more so than the scar
yeah, definitely interesting that it's i guess not just specific games but there's some branching to different games in the same era
Off topic
But speaking of the scar
The scar reload animation in mw2 2022 is a bit different
Speaking of filling niches that’s why I suggested an M16 actually, the AC42 is essentially a Russian version of it, so why not
They're always gonna be different.
was more interested in the modern title weaponry though tbh, since that seems like it could quite easily already be somewhat prepped for AoW use
M16a3?
I kind of hate how a lot of YTbers are spreading the idea that we're getting these new weapons in AoW.
Same even though nothing has been set in stone.
The list temporyal gave out I mean.
I'd like a new ak variant tbh
I just wonder if dice will retroactively add the vss to bad co 2 soldiers.
Since it's their gun.
the clickbait machine does its thing
I completely forgot that the VSS was in BC1 and 2
I want more interesting specialist
New girl is pretty shit
Something kinda important to acknowledge is that the portal weapons can be added with the same style of attachments as exist on the 2042 weapons
I don’t mind the specialists, I just want the more grounded customization dice talked about
Can the bvs count as an ar sort of?
It can be used as an ar with extended mags
but what i said was just personal speculation, if they have the idea of porting weapons to aow in mind then it's possible that portal weapons come with that in mind as well - although i hope that brand new weapons aren't shafted in favour of that lol
The BSV is a DMR. It's the VSS.
It's not an Ar but it's used like a battle rifle because it's genuinely broken.
That’s my only concern really
270 TTK out till 150 metres it's fucking stupid.
i'd say it functions as more of an SMG with close combat mags but realistically like the lines are a little blurred with regards to gameplay
Gun is pretty broken at long range
Can they fix the knifing in this game ever?
I can kill someone with 2 head shots
They need to replace its system if you ask me
2 headshots back to back is fine.
The 3rd person take downs are lame asf
The issue is the headshot body shot bs.
Its obvious they tried to copy mw19/warzone but failed
Preseason menu screen 🥶
The takedowns can stay as an exclusive back melee animation, but allow me to melee from the sides or while I’m facing someone, and switch it up when they’re crouching or proning
It’s not like the finisher takedown ever works it just makes you cut him one time and then he turns around and blasts you
Yeah lmao I’ve had the same problem
The brutal first person take downs bf1 and 5 had were dope
takedowns work pretty smoothly for me now, i'm not the greatest fan of the third person but i think they're fine and i'm not fussed about it
There was a take down where the bf5 soldier would snap someone's neck on the ground
It is what it is now, but I just think keeping what V did would’ve been fine
I'm more annoyed that they don't don't half the time.
You miss because of the delay and they're just awkward.
I want crouch sprint back tbh
Takedowns are just kind of an embarrassing thing in this game. I don't bother with them anymore.
And manual leaning
Takedowns from any other game is reliable and quick.
considering the stats for bfv were like. 90% of players had less than 200 dogtags taken it did always strike me as a lot of complaining about something on principle
I'm kinda sick of leaning because of the abuse with it jeez.
And omni directional proning
Oh damn, that many animations and that’s how the stats looked?
these arent actual stats but its something like that, where a vast majority of people barely ever used them
In that case they probably scrapped the system thinking those animations were simply a waste of money and time
People excuse the removal of that by claiming it hurt visibility when no... The visual clutter on nearly every base map is what hurt visibility.
2042's system works reliably enough now in my experience, i normally get a couple of takedowns in a match without too many issues other than occasionally getting shot while i do it
but that's just a risk of takedowns generally
It's more of a QoL and gameplay bonus, obviously people aren't going to have a shit load of melee kills.
good as some of the bfv ones were, god if they didn't get you killed whle you were tumbling about with someone on the floor half the time
Yeah some of them look even longer than 2042s takedowns
hot
Ok tbf the neck breaking on the ground was dope as fuck
Never had that problem either tbh.
Or maybe the same amount of time, most likely didn’t take longer
In bf5 when you were up close to them they were instant. No delay between smacking them.
There were times where I did fumble but it's nowhere near as bad as this.
some were very quick in bfv, some took like 5+ seconds lol
1 was very simple
I have a hatchet and it’s going into your shoulder :gigachad:
the animations, rather than the triggering
It feels like there's a big delay between pressing the button and actually starting the animation.
Yeah.
Melee flat out does not register for me in 2042. It is so rare it actually works for me.
Lying back animations were long.
tbh the takedown animations are cool, i just think them being in first person would be a bit nicer... idk
I end up fumbling my keyboard more looking at weather or not I'm pressing it or not.
Imagine if the take down anims were like far cry lmao
"weather"
Contextual animations >>> kindly picking a soldier up and requesting you kill them
They would especially have a bit more depth in first person.
The picking the soldier up shit is dumb lmao
Even mw19 had take downs for prone enemies
i do think some would look a bit weird in first person because there's a lot more movement that works from an outside perspective but would be a lot of sudden camera movement
no yeah 100%
A lot of the animations would def be spent with the camera looking at the strangest angles lol
It is the most immersion breaking thing I've ever encountered in a game tbh.
And 2042 is hard to be immersed in to begin with. It instantly lets me know it's just a stunt crew in motion capture.
It's so silly looking.
I wonder
Were the guns in bf5 hand animated or mocapped?
Mh?
Ngl 1942 portal anims are weird asf
Makes sense
tactical reloads on a bar
Tatical reload on an mp40 💀
Portal had to be scrapped together in 1.5 years
Oh yeah cool thing I found out.
i do definitely think each one should have at least a variation for standing and prone, crouch would work well enough with just pulling them up to standing (of course a new animation would be ideal, but then quite a few would just make sense pulling them upwards somewhat)
The rocket launchers have a park that automatically refills their ammo..
How is he holding both mags in one hand lmao
The soldier behind them. That perk does nothing.
The bazooka and shrek will automatically regen ammo without the perk.
Ye perk or passive or some weird shit.
i know even vanguard didn't do that because even if sledgehammer has no idea on how guns work, they at least don't just tactical reload a bar like whatever the animation team for the 1942 guns did.
I was like "park? is there a secret location you've found out about lmao"
It's weird playing as bf3 support with SPRNT.
like the BAR magazine is just pretty wide and heavy
You are literally the fastest thing in the game.
Super sprint?
Back in bf3 there were specialisations.
I wonder if they'll ever consider bringing back the BFV first person animation system.
They'd increase the squads effectiveness.
what do you mean?
That's what I was most hopeful for with this game. BF3 in Portal with BFVs animation system.
If you ran squad sprint everyone including you would get a 10% increase in speed.
what do you mean by "bf5 animation system"?
Man I just want crouch sprint
Gun bob, Sprint bob, etc.
okay
In 2042 they readapted those into the basic squad perks.
The way the first person character interacts with objects.
Made it way better to run behind cover and be harder to hit
It has been so severely downgraded in 2042 it's not even funny tbh.
and i also don't get why 1942 portal guns needed to have their animations redone even though they recycled the same models from battlefield 5
Dis dude was just in my game claiming he was a DICE dev and that they’re planning to add floods to manifest and fully destructible environments. Lmao
It's a big part of why this game doesn't feel like BF. It's dropped the style the series has had since BF3.
A fortifications system in place of some parts of the map to avoid terrain deformation issues (like renewals buildings on the east portion of the map near the windows) would’ve been cool too, but it seems dice is just making those assets part of the map itself
Fortification system was dope
It’s true I know him 
Tho if it existed in 2042 it likely would be swept away by a tornado but eh
That would be pretty funny ngl
My dad actually works for Microsoft and said that Metro is coming back
Would make the tornado an actual inconvenience
I bet we'll get a grenade launcher pickup in season 2
You can see the crossbow here as well.
also battlefield 5's building system was pretty cool never thought why they didn't bring it in battlefield 2042 maybe it could've been the bandaid to the lack of cover for the maps
(wouldn't fix the maps from being not so good when it comes to cover tbh)
Ngl I think falck is a dope assault character
Despite being a medic class specialist
Fortifications were too slow paced imo. Just didn't fit the style of BT or Conquest. Outpost was good for it though.
It existed to inconvenience tank users I guess
idk i didnt really enjoy that tbh
Also a full size Tar? And I can’t make out the AR. It kinda looks like a slimmer AR100 but idk modern guns super well
wat
I don't think I've ever had a problem with dealing with fortifications in a tank
Well
It's not meant to stop them iirc
The pacific maps did have some good tank counters
But kind of slow them down
Tanks were easy to fuck up anyways
Hit them with a panzer twice
And run at them with a boom stick
tbf the name does actually seem familiar but i don't think it's because they're a dice dev lol
obvious point of "devs dont typically go and reveal stuff in a game lobby"
and driving around mobile aa/at emplacements wasnt great and bugged out a lot
oh they were in here at one point lol
the only one i remember on narvik is the one on the north side facing an uphill road. its terrible cuz youve only got like 20ft of visibility down it and are open on the corner of the street
I wish they updated bf5 and battlefront 2 more
Soviet faction and maps would've been dope
oh no its all hands on deck for 2042 lol
i wouldnt trust them to implement the western front for V anyways
I would've preferred more US and JP vehicles and weapons
The Narvik AT guns were so fucked. Lmao
In op or weak way?
Ye for sure. Just feels weird since I've never played a game let alone battlefield where activating unharmful things gives XP lol
I had a 40-0 game once just sitting on the one out in the dock area
tbf the metal detectors are like lowkey good as hell because they just briefly full 3d spot anyone coming through them, the doors are a little weird though since it's like. controlling them is its own benefit
*in the sense that the detectors dont give you like assist score or anything but it's cool to get a little xp even just as confirmation that you did actually take control of it
I really wanna use the drum mags with the SFAR but the game won't let me 
hacks
literally
Better late than never, I guess
Feels really bad man
I was today years old when I found out you can literally ride on the crates as they get picked up by the cranes in manifest ........
I'm afraid that I'll never get drum mags for SFAR because I have no more unlocks available to get and it's still locked for no reason
Usually it fixes itself if you keep unlocking things but there's nothing else
Exact same customization i use
Lets hope it really is
It is
it is
Because they said 🤣
Because it is
I dont know, if you had 5 studios trying to redeem themselves they should be doing daily updates not holding out for next season.
monthly updates are fine imo
daily updates would be dumb as shit apart from anything lmao
you can't just magically press the button and everyone gets an update, you have to run it through platform verification stuff to make sure it doesnt just completely kill devices and also people actually have to download it
Idk how 5 studious mangaged to release a half baked game working on it for 3 years
at most you could maybe squeeze weekly but it's still not really that beneficial
complicated game, covid, notoriously difficult engine, and maybe having so many hands in the pot is a problem
plus the first year and a half was ac actually remaking the engine so it could support 128 players and some other stuf
The monthly schedule pays off since our last few major updates have been pretty darn good
Kinda slowed up before April, but I like the current schedule
yeah monthly works fine for the most part
the main thing is when there's really irritating bugs or if stuff is just completely broken but if it's actively detrimental they can do hotfixes still and in theory they can vault stuff without a client patch like dozer's shield at launch
Minus the notoriously difficult engine
Frostbite has only ever been bad for devs making non-bf games with it
which seems to have been used once ever? i guess the standard is just "if this legitimately breaks the game we vault it until its fixed" which is fair, even if there have been some things that would have been nice like peak bolte spam and older transport 50mms
im under the impressions that a difficult engine means its harder to code for in general, even someone proficient with it still doesnt mean its "easy"
BF3 conquest on Exposure runs smooth
I mean that's not why it was difficult for them though lol. I would read up on it a bit more.
What exactly do I read up on?
i think the engine has been unsuitable for some games because the strengths of the engine didnt benefit the type of game, it's still supposedly a tricky engine to work with
Lemme get the links real quick
It was more about needing to make games that were not suited for it.
Frostbite worked perfectly for battlefront and plants vs zombies
Frostbite was specifically built for BF, so they had to build every system they needed from scratch.
Plants vs zombies was a 3rd person shooter in the frostbite engine
Thats not really got anything to do with it
Its still a shooter game that follows a similar mindset to BF
dice needs a new engine honestly
not an upgraded version of frostbite
while i know that hope/wish is unrealistic, it is there
all signs point to frostbite being the only engine to handle BF games though
the fact the closest thing to a BF title is COD warzone (lol), and fortnite should tell you a lot
Imagine battlefield on unreal 5?
would probably not work...
you realize the hype around unreal 5 is more likely around its ease of use than its large scale capabilities?
UE5 is definitely not suited for large scale multiplayer
thankfully a dev said it so people can finally come to terms with that
Clearly it is already suited for BF
Thats really what has people believing UE5 is the greatest engine to ever be made
Those tech demos
UE5 is fucking great no doubt about it
UE5 is the best
Have you seen the ads people make with it
Truly makes you feel like you are there
UE5 is too much for normal pcs
its good for other stuff besides game making aswell, its impressive
UE5 is good but BF would never work
You will never work.
to put this in 2042 gun balance terms, UE5 is probably like the m5, versatile with ease of use, while frostbite is like a k30, made for close combat. they have their places and people need to stop thinking everything is a one size fits all scenario
Yup exactly
Shame that Unity commited suicide
Wdym?
did it?
Called devs "fucking idiots" and wanted them to implement MTX forcefully
lol
Aight unity it's not funny whens the joke gonna be over
I'll still need to use it because I'm learning C# so that's a rip.
wtf is that cursed image
What money hungry leads to
it sucks that a LOT of smaller indie devs have worked with the unity engine so much that it would be very hard for them to switch to another engine
Can't blame him tho
Would also make players buy useless skins to buy a Porsche
no one is forced to buy trivial cosmetics though
Well if the devs do not want to implement MTX then they do not want to..
I think the only cosmetic stuff I have ever bought was the Bad Company 2 Specact.
for sure, but i think it is dumb to not have cosmetic MTX in any game really

not calling devs fucking idiots if they dont agree
its just an easy way to generate more income without breaking the integrity of the game
idc if its mp or sp mtx, if its trivial MTX theres no foul
What’s MTX stand for?
Shadow of War lol
People who play as defenders in breakthrough, you're the real MVP.
micro transactions
Microtransactions
That’s what I thought alright.
like if a singleplayer sells you the base game and everything is there and it works, theres no reason to complain about completely optional mtx (especially in terms of cosmetics) to not be there
sure, doesnt make the alternative bad though
ive played god of war so many times to get the stupid skins
opening up the doors for devs and publishers to nickle and dime people really is the future of gaming
but taking that away isnt going to make the game bad all of a sudden
When customization is completely locked to MTX that's kind of lame imo.
...because I don't. and I actually like play as defenders (used to play all the time in bf5) but until Dice rework or redesign the maps and balance the vehicles and choppers in BT, no way i'll play as defenders, cause defence lose 90% of the time... the only way to win is if the attackers team are a bunch of scrubs and the defense team are good.
dont pull a halo infinite where the only way to get any sort of decent customization is to pay
if it doesnt add anything to the game
There should still be some decent free options.
it shouldnt be there
ironic considering we are getting the MOST f2p games/content ever, all you have to deal with is OPTIONAL AND TRIVIAL cosmetics for a price...
Imagine Elden Ring with MTX
cosmetics only? thats fine...
God I need to replay it for the fifth time
Everybody chill about skins until in the future you see "You need this skin to play this map"
if you dont like the cosmetics dont buy them
ghost of sushi is included with playstations pass thing so im about to play that for the first time
thats already happened win warzone with rose and activision got a shit load of flack for it and iirc they changed it
theres no f2p game that only survives on cosmetics
thats what i do, i don't mind MTX... cause well, i don't really care about cosmetics
aside from LoL
Rose was such an L
Im ashamed of myself for using that skin
LOL, apex, fortnite, CSGO...
there are more im just not gonna sit here and list them
warzone also
Fortnite is cosmetics heavy af
warzone is f2p and survive with bundles
CSGO literally made a whole market off skins
people complain so much about mtx, and yet im just playing a shit load of games completely free and without being at a disadvantage because i dont pay for trivial shit...
okay i can give it to you when some games hit critical mass they can survive on only cosmetics
but a vast majority dont
I just prefer it being an achievement. Like back in Halo 3 days when it took forever to unlock cosmetics
TF2 is the best (worst?) example... they introduce crafting and hats... and well.. they made a bunch of money... I still can't believe people spent lot of money in hats for tf2.. lol
But when you did, you had the coolest shit and it wasn't from money
that statement can work for a bunch of scenarios for games
100% me too, but this alternative of getting completely free games for optional trivial shit isnt nearly as bad as people make it out to be
Cod camo challenge skins are kinda shit now
its like saying mcdonalds is greedy they gave you a burger for free but couldnt change the bun color to orange...
This is a fair point, but I was more or less leaning to the fact that some paid games have cosmetic MTX which is kind of shit
im tier 98 in the battlepass :( only coins and lis skin left
Agreed
Well actually. It depends for me. I don't mind MTX cosmetics in paid games if there are still good free options.
thursday ill level up my battlepass.
im on the fence about this one, we are getting much more complicated games that require much more money to make games now than we were 10 years ago, and in general the price of games are still 60 bucks, the same price they were 10 years ago. inflation ALONE accounts for games being 70 dollars now.
I'd rather pay 70 bucks for a game than 60 bucks and have a ton of MTX
with the missions next thursday i think i will complete it. im lvl 94
and id rather get it for 60 and get the same exact experience because i dont give a fuck about 99.9% of MTX
ive still been playing once a week only for a few games bc weekly challenges are a joke
i dont have more fun in fortnite because i have a skin, that doesnt change in sp or mp
My problem comes up when the game is 60 usd, there's a BP, yet content drops are extremely lackluster.
yeah, and i didn't play everyday since launch of season 1... and ofc if it wasn't the missions i would be lvl 50 or 60.. but the missions help a lot, i completed them all... thats why im lvl 94
But Fortnite is free..
less content and lesser quality
Not 70 bucks
i complete them in 1 or 2 games. i need harder missions.
that concept goes to any game though, f2p or not, mp or sp
SP MTX cosmetics..
it was a general statement that trivial cosmetics dont make a game better..
yes SP MTX cosmetics are stupid, the same way i think MP MTX cosmetics are stupid as well, which is why i dont care about either
i agree... i think BF5 had more harder missions
kinda silly discussion if you dont care
bfv challenges were controller beaters 
If the cosmetics in AC unity had been locked behind MTX that would have been awful.
i loved them 
another one im on the fence with, i feel like 60 bucks is for the base game and everything else is a bonus.
i mean just 2042 is an example of that scenario
That's not how they advertise it so I don't view it that way.
i have 1200 BPcoins or whatever the name is (from the battlepass tiers) and i dunno where im going to spent them cause i don't care about the cosmetics in the store lol
on the next pass
well of cours not, that would be a horrible marketing tactic
i have gold edition.. so i already have the season pass
an ea exec saying "dont like dont buy" is a horrible marketing tactic too, doesnt mean what he said was bad/not the truth
does it come with every future pass?
The intent is that you buy the BP and base game in place of a premium pass, so that they can still make the same content they would've been able to before.
what you mean? Gold and Ultimate edition come with season pass (4 seasons)
but they dont
for 1 year
aight
i doubt anywhere anyone with authority has said they would make the same content as before
it doesnt matter
maybe in terms of providing content, but not in terms of X amount of maps at Y rate
It's hard to care about cosmetics when they're so restrictive in this game.
it 100% does matter...
with seemingly more money they should be able to increase or keep the quality theyve had
seems logical to me atleast
the money they earn from other sources?
i understand what you mean... i don't really care about cosmetics, but at the same time if some real cool skin appear in the store, i probably would spent the coins that i got from the BP... but so far i didn't saw anything worth the money...
youre not paying for maps or weapons anymore.. you realize that right
the cosmetic optional money that you didnt have to pay for?
or if you dont pay
100% not, i dont pay for shit and still get all the maps and weapons as the people that do pay for it
thank god for illogical people
There is no difference between the money they receive for cosmetics and premium pass with how it works for this game. You absolutely should be able to expect the same amount when the point is that its the same income, just a different method.
you should have expectations for a product you directly paid for
anything beyond that is just being self entitled
if you paid for MTX and dont like the amount of quality of maps/weapons then thats your own fault
Which is enough to buy any pack
you can just not pay for MTX, get the same amount of content, and stop playing at any point a title doesnt provide enough content/quality that you want
i don't think so, for single items yes (and not all) but bundles is not enough....
*doesnt see skull face in game
Except the point of those items is to allow them to bring in the same content. That's why they switched methods in the first place, to stop splitting the playerbase.
Is there any way to disable the scroll on mouse movement in the portal server browser?
cause GOD DAMN is it annoying
"That's why they switched methods in the first place, to stop splitting the playerbase."
and the playerbase still isnt split... so still a success
btw i already got the skin for casper in the BP... the one that looks like a jet pilot, and you can't "separate" the head... its a single set...
While bringing in the same income
yea i just wanna be able to use only the scroll wheel for scrolling in the portal browser
the scrolling on mouse movement is really annoying
Just use the arrow keys tbh
Which I don't think you're getting lol
It is fair to expect more than what we got. They didnt promise it, no, but you cannot tell me it's unreasonable.
can I get a uhhh
Mafuckin uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh
Native American Rain Chant
this doesnt matter though... they can bring in 10x the amount of money with MTX than they did with DLC, youre NOT paying for dlc directly anymore, you have absolutely no say if the dlc has enough or is good enough for anything even if you paid for MTX or not
Im tryna figure out if its server side stuff or if my internet is taking a shit
The money comes from the whales
my god
Whales give a lot of business, I would know since I have whales in my business
i HOPE/WANT them to provide more content if they have more money to work with, but to have a sense of entitlement is just unreasonable
And then we got the people angry that Skate. will be free.
I mean I'm not going to throw a bitch fit over it. I just expect more when they receive the same income and if they don't deliver, I'll just move on.
this is the take everyone should have
this is simply it
youre telling me, im talking to a guy that thinks its reasonable to expect the same quantity/quality for a product that he used to pay for and now doesnt...
Gamers™️
Remember when games would come with extra discs for expansion packs and then the boxes will be much bigger?
My 1942 collection box 'members
you mean things you 100% dont have to pay for?
just because general gamers are stupid enough to drop money on trivial shit and companies make more money from that doesnt mean you are owed anything
Let's keep this circle going, it's almost getting entertaining to watch
example, to get the same amount of content as BFV you would have had to pay about 110 dollars to get it... the most anyone had to pay for that amount of content was 60 bucks at launch...
I'm waiting for the fight between Anakin and Kenobi part of this.
What’s the best specialist
depends on situation
instead of people being happy we dont have to pay an additional 45 bucks to get 12 maps, people are mad that we didnt get 16 maps because the last title got 16 maps... even though that would have cost 60 bucks
If I want a powerful bulky person
id say falck in general too, fast revive and heals at range are huge for a team
Tbf, I'm talking from the perspective of having bought the Premium Pass for 2042, under the impression (set by DICE themselves) that they would be able to deliver more from those MTX purchases. I expect more, but they technically don't have to deliver.
im talking from the perspective of someone that got 2042 for 50 bucks at launch (lets jus say 60)
i already got 60 bucks worth of content out of the base game (even if rough and annoying)
all content here on out is just a bonus
i wont buy anything in the MTX either
at most ill drop 20 bucks if theres a skin thats cool and i put a shit load of hours into the game and want to reward them
i dont mean this in a rude way, its just how my brain works, but if you feel cheated from your premium pass thats your own fault
Is premium worth it in bf2042
best game modes to level up fast?
but gameplay doesnt change with premium edition, and that includes indirect gameplay like maps and weapons, so imo theres no logical reason to have it
If you can find a Rush server with 128 players then that.
is there any way to get a server list?
Portal
kk
2042 actually good now wow
btw what happened to hardcore portal
wheres 64 player rush
wheres all the games modes
Main menu
no 128 tho
idk
Sad alot of people don't know how to use portal properly 😫
I hosted TDM servers yesterday nobody joined shit suck yo
Some days I get tired of playing AOW
We really need the game modes to be permanent on the portal banner page
Damn what is the Chinese menu music in BFV? It's beautiful
Japanese makes more sense since WW2 yeah
So did the soviets
Johan Söderqvist is one of the best composers of all time.
Yes but not to the same extent as Japan
DX11 or DX12 for BFV?
I never said I felt cheated, just that I think lesser of the game and service itself
Isn't that just dependant on your system?
best we can do to replicate 128 BT
Not sure
There's one specific French girl you can play
Yeo
pretty sure the general rule is dx12 for higher end hardware and dx11 for mid to low end hardware, BUT if you want a smoother experience dx11 in general
dx12 gets really stuttery for some reason, even if you do get more FPS
@fiery dawn i see you
Speaking of performance, I tried out 144hz with a beefy pc the other day. Was so weird to have good mouse input for once.
144Hz is great
When is next update?
I'm stuck to 60hz at 60 fps. Mouse feels like it's lagging even with a stable framerate.
But I've gotten used to it.
I have 120Hz+ on all my devices
had to start using a 60Hz phone after mine got stolen
it feels horrible
i feel like i screwed myslf with getting a 120hz phone..
i could never go back to 60hz so now ill always stretch to a premium priced phone to get it (at least in apples case)
which now that ive been using apple for years i dont think i could go back to samsung, ecosystem too good...
I switched from 12 Pro Max to Z Fold 3 recently and honestly wanna go back
👀
my scenario isnt fair because iphone 11 was my first high end phone
everything else before that was a bang for buck phone like the moto g line
Trying to T1 Falck lol
Super easy. Just go to contested points and heal all day.
I have 60hz and no gsync or freesync, living in the past but that do be how it is.
oof
Still taking a break from BF 2042, until another update shows up
Well I got 600 progress that match
I'm really close now
Who thought 4 helis on noshar canals was a good idea?
so close
lel
Lis
lis
Shiiiit she kinda hot
It is
I like the skin. Hate the tattoos
Not because I don’t like tattoos either. I just don’t like hers. They’re very cringey
i feel the same
It’s like whoever designed them was like “what does she do? Oh yeah, she destroys vehicles. So let’s have her get tattoos of tanks and helicopters with an X over them xD”
Nobody in their right mind would ever get that tattooed on them. The left arm looks fine IG even though the eagle looks super “‘Murica” even though she’s not American.
But the right sleeve just sucks.
What do we think of bf2042 in its current state
it's like playing a beta game
before the season 1 was almost alpha test
like every BF game near launch
BF3 and BF4 were WAY worse at and close to launch
and people just seem to choose to selectively forget or ignore that
Does anybody have a problems with the zero hour badge not progressing
Which gun has less recoil?
I’ve seen people try to argue that 3 and 4 weren’t eve near as bad as 2042 and people shouldn’t try to correlate them
Tbh it was a stupid argument there will never be a game to come out that won’t have bugs
wasnt bf4 literally unplayable at launch at times?
Skyrim
For like the first 6 months
And a lawsuit
Didn't go through though

There were talks of an actual lawsuit from actual lawyers, not like 2042 where one guy threatened to make a lawsuit and started a petition which went nowhere
That petition was so dumb lol
Played a game and it gets laggier as the game goes on whats going on
Frames drop like crazy
So there is no way to inspect your weapon in 2042 right?
press T on PC
what ya play on
T opens up the attachment menu, i dont really think thats what they're asking for
you can run UI.DrawEnable 0 in the console to turn off your ui then hit t
that's the closest you're going to get
yeah that
yeah i just realized lol
Ooh ill try that thx
Just what i was about to ask, thanks 🙂
to open console, if unaware, hit ~ (tilde)
Oh trust me, i know how to open console. As a matter of fact, it has the tendency to appear on my screen on undesirable moments lmao
yep.
Ah shit i forgot i still have the windows activation watermark
You can’t get immersed in the battlefield like everyone else
activate windows ez
Bought a 3080, playing in 1440p with all ultra settings but still have that damn watermark 😂
L
Lol it wasn’t serious
Do they even sell a windows key in store?
honestly idk ive never paid for windows and i dont have the watermark lol
imagine paying for windows
Does it literally only let you customize the taskbar and the wallpaper?
cant you just install the iso from them for free without activation
pretty sure thats what i did, i had it on a boot stick
was a while ago tho, dont remember
i mean there's other random shit
Old pc
only like 2 years old
Well everyone who builds a new pc needs to do that in order to boot it i believe right?
yeah but like i didnt have to pay for windows
You only get windows 10 for free if you're upgrading from 8 or some shit
This
or download a linux distro and call it a day
Anyone running bf2042 on 12700k/ddr5 6000mhz rtx 3080/3090?
well i have a 3080 and i7 12700f, just not ddr5
ddr5 kinda overrated ngl
Its a bit too early
ddr4 performs fine at like half the cost
frl
i lowkey wanna get a new mobo so i can get an alder lake cpu
but at the same time my i7 10th is fine for now
Whats the main difference? Sorry not familiar with alder lake
alder lake is 12th gen
just a bit better performance wise
compared to 10th that is
Ooh wait
So is my 17 12700f alder lake or nah? Don't ask how i don't know whats in my own pc
so do I. I have a ryzen 7 2700x and kinda want to upgrade to a 5800x but my motherboard doesn't support it
Am having issue w 2042 on ddr5 6000mhz. Only xmp. They jus recently drop a new bios. Hopefully it fix it
i kinda want to wait till the ryzen 7000x comes out so i can compare price and performance
the main issue is that everything comes from a prebuilt dell inspiron 5676
and if I switch out the motherboard for something that's actually fucking good the computer will shit itself since it's not a dell part
hmm.. maybe try #technology for those issues
lol
Thanks
get a new one off of newegg ez
Isn’t intel better for bf?
