Battlefield 2042 |OT| Back to the Future Part I
- Thread starter iRAWRasaurus
- Start date
I'm wondering what plans they've got for hazard zone. It's like 80% of the time nothing is going on until the last seconds. Since you're not scavenging for things like in a BR, feels incredibly boring for most of the time you're playing
I do not think they want to split up the player base for official AOW modes, the matchmaking has been doing a good job filling up games even during early morning hours.
I can't remember ever seeing one on that map. But the weather events are incredibly underwhelming/pointless across all the maps... /meh.
Bolte isn't nearly as bad as hovercraft. Any sniper rifle can shoot through windshield and kill the crew, AT hit to tracks is mobility kill, tanks and wildcats chew it up instantly...
Meanwhile hovercraft is blasting "trollolloo..." soundtrack from loudspeakers as it shrugs off AT equipment hits like they are joke and killing the crew is borderline impossible.
Had a run yesterday with a very good driver. The 30mm canon just shreds people, whatever the distance, with massive splash damage. Ended our little tour with a 28-0 killstreak.
I agree. I was expecting tornadoes to get old fast, but it was even faster than I thought. I just don't care at all... Sand storm on hourglass doesn't make much difference (except that on XsX it just tanks the framerate to a slideshow when it kicks in), or maybe only for planes.
Breakaway might be too big to handle weather event ?
Jumped into the Bolte also as gunner ones. Hadnt unlocked it yet. The guy who had it was the driver i was the gunner. Pretty easy kills indeed. Thing is so fast.
But we dont see it alot yet and i think people atm dont know what it is and what the weak points are

I think we will start seeing it more in the next couple weeks. Pretty high level unlock if i recall?
The Bolte gets a 30mm canon by default it has no damage drop off you park that sucker somewhere high and do whatever. I also havent been shot out of it yet even people shooting straight at me.
The weird thing is for me I haven't seen them in literally 3 days after playing about 6 hours. I thought they were turned off or something. Lol
Started using anti-tank mines yesterday and got like 15 kills in my first game. No one seems to use them so vehicle drivers don't look for them as a potential threat. On Breakthrough they are extremely effective If you know what paths to focus on.
I do wish they stayed when you died though, I don't know what's up with that bullshit since everything else in the game seems to stay when you die.

Only sniper rifles can pen that windshield so other small arms can't do shit. They are strong vehicle, but in my experience way less of an hassle to deal with than hovercrafts are. 30mm cannon or not.
AT and heavier vehicles always chew them up quick when they get too bold.
The bolte is good, but I've definitely shot people out of it and being a heavy armored vehicle in a different category than the hovercraft helps. The combo of hovers and boltes (even if less) driving around is the problem, but with the hover being nerfed it'll help.
Ohhh I just saw the update notes, these two updates will be great. And given how much of my problems with the game (the weird aiming / spread thing) are coming in tomorrow, I'm excited!
Not sure about the big front window, but you can definitely shoot people inside the bolte from those small side windows with small arms.
Also I hope dice never changes the ability for the hovercraft to climb skyscrapers. Holy fuck my friends and I laugh like fucking hyenas at the stupid shit we do.
Gonna wait until things are much, much better before jumping in. Was my most anticipated game in a couple years and I'm so disappointed by everything I've seen so far.
+1 it's stupid and obviously a bug, but it's so damn fun. Both attacking and defending the rooftops
Usually start work day in sweden. Then updates go live with PC first and xbox and PS abit later.
Mostly arround lunch
Tanks are identical, but I think few of them are in different order for reasons. Biggest difference that I know of is between attack helicopters. Russian one has unlock that USA one can't get, dual 30mm cannons for pilot.
Really hope they clean that up because it's super frustrating switching sides and having half the unlocks.
Why is everyone so eager to unlock everything within a week? I am happy for every long time progression. It's not like you need those updates to stay competetive.
It's not about unlocking everything; it's about regressing in unlocks from a setup you're comfortable with on one side because you haven't been put on the opposite side enough to get up to the same level.
yeh, I don't get this either. People playing against bots to unlock attachments :/ ... to each their own but that just sounds boring AF, definitely not why I play these games.
How is that even unlocked? Last vehicle I unlocked was the mav
Meanwhile I miss different factions in online MP with different weapons and vehicles. It was especially stupid in Battlefield V with the same weapons for every faction.
They did the same thing in BF5. Although the vehicles oftendid function differently.
Huh? I just tried it last night. My SMG had 13/50 kills, I killed 2 people in a match and it didn't go up on the mastery. I'm not talking about coop against bots, pure portal like TDM modes. My weapons don't unlock attachment say all
They are working on weeklies for tomorrow, battlepass has been rumoured for late Jan early Feb
Unfortunately that introduces some balance headaches so I can see why they try to avoid asynchronous weapons and vehicles. See: J-10 jet in BF2.
Thanks for reply . Surprised at the long wait but not too bothered. Late Jan early Feb is probably when the game should have launched.
Ah my mistake. I meant Solo & Co-op against bots. Weapon attachment unlocks always worked over there.
