I guess I’m just a cuck but I still don’t see how it’s THAT bad

Sure, if it’s still exactly the same in 6 months then I’ll be disappointed but I don’t think that’ll be the case

same. I’m enjoying breakthrough. I smoke a bowl, put Apple Music on, and just go ham in the vehicles.

There are bugs. Certain objective locations (rooftops looking at you) that suck arse on breakthrough. Had a bug that wouldn’t end the last game last night. We won, game just didn’t end and no enemies would spawn so it was just my team running around doing nothing.

But I’m still enjoying it far more than battlefield 5 or any of the recent CODs.

maybe it’s the weed

My soapbox grandstanding has nothing to do with people actually liking and playing the game. I hope that you all do enjoy yourselves.

I don't think they delivered on their promise, other than Portal being something special. BF2042, despite having bugs and crashes and being completely unfinished (which is most certainly understood and accepted as normal these days for any game), entirely misses the strike zone. It's poorly designed, there are very few weapons, it doesn't feel good, there's way too much going on, and they pander to everyone and it ends up being a massive mess.

How do you not even have a standard game server browser? How do you not have a scoreboard? How do you have soldiers that look exactly alike on opposing teams? Why do you put in this bullet spread thing that makes zero sense at all? Why did they design these massive open maps with no cover for miles? This is just a bad game in a sense that it misses the mark. Maybe you are having fun and that's actually great. But objectively, it's not good.

Please play and have a blast.

I hear you but objectively? I think it’s pretty subjective by definition lol

I will say the UI for adding attachments to guns is beyond terrible, I’ve spent some time trying to figure it out and remain mindfricked

My theory is that we're going to get map pack DLCs for Portal. They know everyone is clamoring for remakes of all the great maps, so they're going to nickel and dime us to death for it.

I dont understand how anyone can play this game high. Its difficult enough trying to play it sober and navigating these completely shite menus.

It ain’t rocket science click breakthrough. Click my load out. Try to get in a vehicle. If can’t, spawn on objective, throw my little turret down, call in Fido, and get a few kills.

Rinse. Repeat.

I don’t play conquest so I don’t get the “maps are too big” “running sim” complaints.

Right now, I’d give the game a 6.9. The potential is absolutely there and in 6 months once it’s actually a complete game/the kinks get ironed out (frick you stupid arse yearly releases and not dropping finished games) it’ll be the best fps of 2021-2022

Same, fun game. I stick to breakthrough and portal and have very few issues and a lot of fun.

I have “figured it out” but it’s a giant pain in the arse still. I can’t imagine how BF could look at CoD’s gunsmith and then come up with this system. The plus system is cool. Everything else is a giant eye sore.

Yeah the only game breaking big imo is the game not beginning after it’s loaded up and when I load in my load outs don’t pop up. It took me ten minutes the other night to finally get into a game with everything working properly. The rest of the albeit a little shallow on the 2042 side is still fun. It feels good and it’s really chaotic which is unique to the game.

Fwiw you can set what attachments you want to the innermost ones and you’ll never have to mess with that shite in match unless you specifically want to change something for a situation.

I swap scopes real time more than I thought I would, cqc or more range setup with where I'm at and going.

This game is so strange, and I know that it's optimized like crap, but I was just looking at the usage graphs in Afterburner and I'm only using 40% CPU on average and about 70% GPU. Everything on low, except Ambient Occlusion on HBAO the last couple of games, and with a custom .config. Averaging around 85FPS in Breakthrough and around 110 in Portal. 3700x and a 2070 Super. Curious to see what other tweaking they and I can do.

Does this mean you plugged in the red cord or just using the white and yellow one like me?

I hate the switch from classes to these loser specialists.

What’s the point of even having sub-load outs when the specialists can do everything?

Running as a “medic” that carries ammo and rocket launchers just defeats the point of even breaking them up.

Give me classes back where everyone has a defined role, and while we’re at it frick these specialists characters and their cheesy lines.

Yea that’s dumb

I can’t help but worry it’s a move to be more like Apex, they’ll come out with new “specialists” every once in awhile that ppl get to pay for to have immediately
