I'm using his controller settings too, feels so much better than default.

Battlefield 2042 |OT| Back to the Future Part I
- Thread starter iRAWRasaurus
- Start date
Actually you can, it just isn't very intuitive. It's shown in crosshair.
If in hipfire crosshair....
- Has all four lines, gun is on full auto
- Has three lines with top most missing, gun is on semi / single fire
- Has all four lines and (if I remember right) top most has line(s) through it, gun is on burst fire
Is this explained anywhere at all within the game?? That's terrible, literally why is it not just in the bottom right where that stupid "press T to do the plus thingy" thing constantly is?
I don't believe so, the lack of fire mode indicator on HUD while unscoped seems like an oversight.
afaik no, I just figured it out basically by accident when I started to wonder why crosshair is different between handgun, AR and DMR.
This is being addressed in the update dropping any minute now. From the patch notes:
And even if it's a pandemic issue there'd be a simple solution to that problem.
Delay the game until it is ready. We aren't talking about an indie dev starved for money here.
I gotta say, aside from all of the core gameplay issues the game has, I think my biggest disappointment has to be the UI/UX. It's indescribably bad. Normally I'm a fan of it in most of their games, but literally nothing in 2042 aside from the sector updates is communicated effectively/clearly in the UI. I really prefer hard text as opposed to a multitude of icons. [Q] MAP will always be more clearly understood compared to [Q] A monocolored box with a small arrow I can barely see that totally means open the map...
I can't believe how bad it is.

You can unlock all attachments vs bots, and I believe badges up until T3.
I agree. I think that capturing flags isn't correctly balanced : takes an awful amount of time and speed doesn't seem to take into account how many players are in the zone and how close they are to the flag (that was a feature in Bf since 3 or 4 I think ?), I still think that the zones are smaller than before, flags are badly placed as you say, with close to no cover for infantry (Hourglass village is just an abomination, even worse than Kaleidoscope IMO), and the incentive in points is very low compared to the risk you have to take to cap a flag.
It's also obvious that in 2042 it's almost impossible for a single player to cap a flag. This was something possible in the past BF, where a single guy could resist 2 or 3 ennemies coming for defense. But in 2042, with 128 players, it's almost immediately 5 or 10 enemy players coming for defense, and at max you can have your 3 squad members spawning on you (which never happens) to help. Add to that everything above, and you can see that once a remote flag is captured, there's no, or little, tentative from the other team to take it back. So you end up with 99% of the players focusing on the double or triple flags zones where all the action is taking place.
This also leads to another problem : if you spawn on those heavy action flags, there's a high chance that you will insta die (thanks to the not zoomable spawn map and lack of spawn player cam...), if you spawn on one of the safer remote flags with no action then you will have to hope that you can have a transport or have to run for miles by your own to go back where the action is.
In the end, my feeling is that there's absolutely no sense of achievement in capturing a flag in BF2042. It's a high risk, low reward situation and you can see that players are mostly playing just outside the zone and are very reluctant to go for the cap, unless they have a huge number superiority vs the defending team (which doesn't happen really often on the action packed flags).
Im back everyone! And when I thought it couldnt get any worse me and my friends can't turn left or right on PC at all LMAO HOW DICE HOW. You can only do it with arrow keys ahaaha I can't...
EDIT: Ahaha its happening on peoples streams this game is a joke. AHA the whole server is complaining.

Hmm.. I wonder if they actually test their games on PC probably not ahaha. Can't wait for people to tell me that Im too hard on the game again... The level of incompetence is off the charts
You come across just extremely salted, even compared to us who are pretty cynical on the game. It can get bit grinding.
Of course Im salty look at the absolute state of the game.
Where do you find these challenges btw? I may be blind, but I don't see anything in the menu.
Shame that on PC people without pads may not be able to play for rest of the week :D
They're on the main menu when in AOW section.
Right as your chosen specialist walks up to the camera. On the right side
Yep seems to only selectively work. It can also reverse the problem or break controller inputs.
Plus menu customization is a nice change but I kind of expected a more substantial change to the entire menu interface? It's still not intuitive to have to use both sets of triggers as well as the d-pad and several face buttons just to navigate around. I'm not sure why they even settled for this when it would be so much more easier to design a simple list structure.
And now:
"unable to load persistence data" Tried restart the game several times (even the console)
She's had enough of this update's shit already.
On the latest update, no challenges for me.
This is what I'm seeing on PS5.

In other news, BF2042 Rush being front and center on Portal means more people will matchmake for it, which also means I'm gonna 100% be doing it with my group the next time we get on.
DICE didn't waste any time to start releasing clown-ish skins ala COD.
Keep in mind that deleting that folder resets EVERYTHING you have done in settings, so screenshot shit like mouse settings.

Does that reset all my settings? Been dialing shit it for weeks, graphics, settings, controls, etc. I don't want to have to redo all that.
Edit: And damn, there doesn't seem to be a keybindings menu anymore(at least for me) so not sure how I can screenshot/record all my settings.
Maybe Warzone ruined me but I'm loving that Boris skin lol. Mackay's skin.... not so much.
Deleting the 2042 folder in documents just means I get Unable to load persistance data every match, as opposed to every other.
Edit: Disabling crossplay still works as a fix for persistance data error.

Backup the PROFSAVE_profile file and then replace it, all your settings are there.
It's also key file to redo in order to fix mouse issue so... :D

They're about to get clowned by the internet hard about these lol
