Battlefield 2042 (PS4, PS5, XB1, XSX, PC) (Nov 19)

[We Ready]

Hardline is better than BF2042.

I'll admit, it was a bizarre choice to limit which guns you could use whether or not you spawned in as a cop or a criminal, but I had fun with the game.

DICE goes through what to expect in the specialists > classes update that's scheduled to release at the end of this month in this blog post.

Same shyt I said earlier in this thread. Overwatch style where classes are categories, and specialists roll up under different classes. Gadgets locked behind classes. Different proficiencies per class to give classes certain advantages over others in combat. All classes can use every weapon. Loadouts are class specific now. Classic BF era gadgets coming to 2042 era / All Out Warfare (ex. EOD bots, mortars, and claymores).

Breakaway Rework Gameplay:

[CoolinInTheCut]

I'll redownload and see wassup

Next season is in another 2 weeks I think.

That might be a better time to get in since there's going to be another big content drop.

 

[Detroit Wave]

i been on this shyt everyday for a couple weeks now. its actually a competent fps now compared to launch.

whoever tryna squad up need to add me @mrFaceShoota

I'll admit, it was a bizarre choice to limit which guns you could use whether or not you spawned in as a cop or a criminal, but I had fun with the game.

nah that made sense, cops buy guns from essentially the military or use the same system they use. A criminal could use a .38, .44 magnum, uzi, mac-10 or mac-90

 

[Alvin]

I just can't get past the trash gunplay on consoles and the forced crossplay against PC brehs, atleast give us the option to use KB&M if they refuse to fix the aim assist.

Makes the game feel damn near unplayable.

exactly

 

[Alvin]

I personally wouldn't have recommended this game until this current season. They fixed the gunplay to where its almost as fluid as MW2, they fixed most of the base maps, vehicle balancing is at a great place now, and they started bringing in all the cool shyt from way older BF games like rail guns and air burst rifles.

This game is still very poorly managed with how slow they are with getting content out for it being a live service game, but, multiple things can be true at once. And this is a good game at this stage and probably how it should've been at launch. It's only going up from here since they said they're dedicated to another couple years of support.

has the gunplay improved for controller/console players?

 

[5n0man]

has the gunplay improved for controller/console players?

Nope, aim assist is still broken and the gunplay in general is still a massive downgrade compared to BF5.

Don't even bother breh.

Edit: They fixed KB&M inputs but didn't do shyt about the broken aim assist on consoles, shyts about to be even worse for controller users.

 

[CoolinInTheCut]

has the gunplay improved for controller/console players?

Yes.

Don't listen to people who don't play the game. This was patched in December with another fix (for recoil) early this month.

It's not COD level of responsiveness, but it's getting close.

 

[CoolinInTheCut]

Really good patch breakdown:

 

[Anti-Anime]

not sure why they didnt get mkb support on consoles. even like cod has that

 

[Detroit Wave]
