I think Firestorm killed Firestorm. People don't play Battlefield for a FFA/BR experience.
I dumbed it down but that's pretty much what I said

Conquest is better and the main mode so it was always going to be more popular

Firestorm like I said, had its issues that didn't help. It was buggy, the map was shit, the looting was shit and inventory management was also shit.

It had the same problems Warzone did when they updated it for MW2.

I think again that BF6s br can be good but I also won't cry if it isn't.

I just don't think that it will kill BF6 if it fails.
 

Me playing 2042 has me be this angry engineer, not at my teammates but the game in general.

Gonna get this piece of shit tomorrow then I might just delete the game outright, I just can't deal with the dogshit maps and the fact that whenever I join a game via the portal browser I *always* end up on the team of mostly average players, while the enemy crew consists of sweatlords with stats like this:

I don't know what kind of system the game uses, but it fucking sucks.
 

Did the original Bad Company have a Middle Eastern faction or was that just a language option? (Actually, it may just be Russian but with a thicker accent.) Either way, it sounds cool as hell. I think 2: Modern Combat was the last Battlefield to have a Middle Eastern faction.

Also, did 2042 originally have factions on account of the ex-pat specialist spin?

Hell, half the time, I cannot even connect into a match.

Bad Company 2 had the Russian side entirely speaking Russian. Fun times.

That all went away starting with BF3, though I don't recall if it was just the announcer that spoke English or the whole faction. Either way, it was better when they all spoke a different language. 2042 has some foreign language speaking, but I think it's only used to mask communications from enemies.

Changelog​

Phantom

  • The Penguins have seen individuals brute-forcing into the Phantom Project and have added additional defenses to ensure the reward is for Operatives who are fully deserving of the loot that awaits.
Weapons & Gadgets

  • Fixed an issue on the Lynx where extended magazine reload was slower than intended. The reload animation is now faster, making it look less like slow motion and more like just motion.
  • Fixed an issue with the Lynx’s recoil and camera motion.
  • Fixed an issue where the accuracy is lower than intended when standing still for the Lynx.
  • Balance pass with SWS-10 and Armor Piercing Rounds and the Masterkey.
  • Fixed an issue where multiple Underbarrel Shotgun Attachments on Vault Weapons were not tracking progress towards quests that require you to get kills with underbarrel shotguns. For example, the unlock quest for the AK5C.
  • Fixed an issue where the SOFLAM and Tracer Dart interaction with a vehicle would not show “Target Acquired” messaging.
Maps & Modes

  • Renewal has been returned to the Team Deathmatch playlist offering.
Playercards

  • Fixed an issue where the names of Playercard Backgrounds ‘Always Check Your Rear’ and ‘Teamwork Makes the Dream Work’ were accidentally swapped.
Weekly Missions & Progression

  • Fixed an issue where some weekly missions about doing actions with Vault Weapons would not track with the M1 Garand in All Out Warfare.
  • Tier Skip functionality is now active on the Road to Battlefield 6 Pass.


This announcement may change as we listen to community feedback and continue developing and evolving our Live Service & Content. We will always strive to keep our community as informed as possible.

Most fun I had in BF2042 was drone-scanning all match. Top of the leaderboard, probably helped more than any amount of killing could've. It made me realize how little shit you can do in BF but just.. shoot. There's no support, reviving barely matters.. Granted I doubt anyone actually use the minimap.

"THEY RUINED BATTLEFIELD!"

I'm fine with movement shit...in Unreal Tournament. Or Titanfall. Or Crysis. Or Halo. I don't want zip-zooping around Battlefield, and it's dumb to have it there. If it was so tantamount to the experience then 2042 would've had much greater success, and Titanfall 2 would've crushed IW and BF1, neither of which occurred.

Do I think they might lose some adderall-addicted dopes by making that decision? Sure, but the game's better off that way, and takes it further away from CoD shit. Am I still concerned that EA could very easily fumble the ball in some other way that could kill its momentum? Definitely.
This is a very factual take and all those games have something in common, they withered on the vine because a lot FPS players don't want spastic movement. Titanfall2 has a cult following but I'll get to that later.
If you knew what you were talking about, you would know that Titanfall 2 was sabotaged by EA and that's why it didn't do as well as he should have.
You can like the game if you want, I'm not stopping you, but you're going to have to accept that BF6 is overrated and trying to alienate a large portion of your audience will do no favors for it. People want advanced movement slop, if Battlefield won't evolve it will just die out again since nobody cares about the "Battlefield Experience" anymore. They can get that in Delta Force and other games, Battlefield isn't special anymore.
Must suck to know that the only reason Battlefield is popping off is because COD refugees are keeping the "hype" afloat, huh?
That's half the story but the other half is the game had over 100K to 300K players online at release and it dropped to under 10K before Christmas. Guess what happened to them? They left.

Why? A lot of that was Respawn's failure to pay attention to detail. Weapon balance was atrocious on release, it used to be lobbies of CAR, Devotion, and Stim with one particular titan that could one shot pilots and then after three hits on a titan launch a rocket barrage. People tend to not like stuff like that. A lot of the movement discovery is from people just sitting in an empty lobby trying things out because the Source engine code was hacked together leading to abnormal movement. The only advanced movement in that game the Devs intended was wall running, strafe hopping and etc was all from people trying stuff out that devs never wanted in the first place. Titanfall 1 had bunny hopping and devs patched it out only to create an even worse nightmare in movement they couldn't figure out how to patch out because these guys didn't have enough experience with the Source engine. Which then leads to another issue, people constantly wanting to stomp since they have thousands of hours in game. When people go around flying around the map using meta weapons, it tend so scare off the people who don't have all the time in the world to do the same.

Will all this crazy movement shit they also used shit server tick rates on a high speed game which made it feel very frustrating to play. Did you know you could grapple and slingshot yourself so fast that your movement would put you out of sync with the server and no one could shoot you down while going that fast? That's the shit server tick rate for you. It was below 20 Hz when something this fast should of been 60 Hz. Another thing Respawn didn't test or check for despite the issues they had with Titanfall 1.

That's why Titanfall 2 never gained traction beyond the cult following. EA played a part with a poor advertising campaign and pushing Battlefield 1's release but at the same time, Titanfall 2 multiplayer needed tweaking. With Apex's success being released in Q1 2019, I think Titanfall 2 would of benefited from that but Vince Zampella's ego got the better of him.

If you think movement shooters are the way, then ask yourself this, how come EA hasn't tried Titanfall 3 yet? It's been almost nine years after all.

anyone that has ever touched titanfall 2 know that game died because of their own spastic retards, they also know that the faggots cope and seethe about it and blame EA, even using the fagex legends cope.

the others are right, if the adderall was good, many adderall focused games wouldn't bomb so fucking hard that it triggers faggot denial, it's a hard pill to swallow but i find it funny since the faggots that like this gay shit swallow much worse things.

they kind of have a COD dude in the dev team don't they? :smug:
Don't get me started on Titanfall 2's spastic user base and the content creators. They're all miserable because they had one good year in a video game and since then have been fighting each other online instead of stomping. Thousands of hours wasted mastering movement only to fight the same retards over and over again. The competitive Discord also used to ban new players for a month if they weren't playing well in a match "to keep the skill level up." Good job growing the game you retards. Who cares if you have someone struggling? They need to learn and that was the best place to do so. Not to mention, they're almost all trannies now because they refuse to go outside.

Not sure has anyone mentioned it before,but battlefield 5 have some serious input lag on your movement. Battlefield 6 seems to have fixed that problem thankfully.
 
A leak a couple of days ago showed that BF6 will have mud, blood and rain dirtying up your weapon again. 2042 had rain, but nothing else. Nice to see it back.

You can launch your own Portal server and have it count for the achievements instead of joining one on the browser. You put in one of these codes for the desired mode and it's set up to allow progress towards battle pass missions. Set a password on it to keep people from joining or if you're playing with a squad of friends.

They better not remove the Prototype from those who looted it via the glitch.

There’s a hard limit on how many portal servers can be active per region and I was never able to host my own since all the slots were constantly filled. I ended up joining low populated conquest servers with bots and was able to hit 60 today with the latest batch of missions that you can bang out in 15 minutes or less, I did 90% of the XP grind on 24/7 Redacted servers since it’s easy to farm kills and ribbons on, avoid conquest or breakthrough if you value your sanity.

Overall I had fun when I first started the battle pass, but the horrid maps really drag the whole thing down the more you play. Maps like Stadium, Orbital and Hourglass, just to name a few, are bafflingly bad and it blows my mind they made it past testing.

Keep pressing the button and it will create the server.
 
I wonder if it goes beyond cosmetic and would create weapon degradation like Fallout or even Red Dead Redemption II. Still cool to see.

They won't do that because that would be awful in a MP game like Battlefield. Get a good streak going, be alive for a longer than normal time. Then you die because in the next gun fight your gun jams. It would be so rage-inducing.
 
Imma be real, I really don't give much of a fuck about battle royale at all. I have way more interest in trying to bully EA into putting Operation Metro or Operation Locker back into the game.
