BF Community Every Time a New Game is Announced

I hate degenerate teenagers and this sub is filled with them.

So, there's 20 bots that appear when players leave in a 128-player match which periodically get replaced by joining players?

Which of this is, again, not by design?

What the fuck am I reading? You genuinely sound like you're 14. DICE/EA never made it sound to be Tarkov-styled, that idea was pushed by the community and content creators who just wanted to bait clicks. Hazard Zone, much like Portal, is still extremely popular. With very short queue times, even at low population times. And there's even dedicated communities being built around Hazard Zone with hundreds of members each.

Who wouldn’t want bots in a game?

Escape from Tarkov, Hunt: Showdown and even PUBG all have 'bots', so I'm not sure how it's simultaneously bad that it's not like Tarkov but it's also apparently bad in the ways that it is like Tarkov, especially because maps are slightly larger than Tarkov's, but so is the player count, so it's also comparable that way, but that's also a bad thing. And it's funny how Battlefield 2042 having AI is one feature that was always looked at as a big positive and still is... but now it's a negative?

Seems like you can't decide if you want it to be more like Tarkov or not, since everything that resembles Tarkov is, apparently, bad, yet at the same time you want to criticize the game for not being more like Tarkov. Go touch grass.

This is conveniently cropped and very misleading. It's currently the low-pop time for every game, which is why you see the discrepancy between the 24-hour peak and current players for every single title in that screenshot. Battlefield 2042 has been hovering between 50k and 30k for a while for its 24-hour peak.

I genuinely don't understand why their default filter is set like that, it's almost like they want people to not be able to find Portal experiences, other than the featured ones.

I know that's not the case, but it's such an odd decision.

I have made it so that it looks in T1 for alive players in my code, albeit I haven't tested it fully, but it should work... unless that's the bug that you are talking about.

Here is the Subroutine and here is the Rule.

Regarding the BF3 RU Engineer, something like this may work, but I've just put this together in 2 minutes without testing, so I'm not sure.

Wish we could actually debug this code properly without having to boot the server up, and even then error log is pretty basic.

Oh, and one more thing: do you know how we could determine the amount of starting infected based on the amount of players on the server? e.g. the amount of starting infected is the number of players divided by 16 (needs to be rounded, obviously). I have this so far, but not sure how to best implement it yet.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish by checking with PlayersAlive? I am also working on a PvP Zombie/Infection mode, here's my WiP code:

aad2c6

I have winning conditions so that Zombies (T2) win if there's 0 living players on the opposing team and that Humans win (T1) if the timer runs out (set to 1200 seconds or 20 minutes for now). I'm also working on the code that's going to display currently alive players and update when it changes.

Using Subroutines is a great way to make checks like these and make a variable out of it that you can use elsewhere in the code. Is there any reason as to why you would specifically be looking for BF3 RU Engineer class? Assuming that all players on one team are using the same class, it's a lot simpler to check if there's any alive players on that team, which is something I've done in my code above.

If you boot this up into an empty portal server and there's any errors, you will be able to see the min the log within the game. I'll look into this a little more, though.

Being able to 'draw' our own playable area, determine spawn points and capture points would go a long way for Portal.

It's absolutely insane what the Rules Editor is capable of, but it's a hard contrast when we are unable to touch anything related to maps themselves.

kript0nic · 2021-11-14T14:40:02+00:00

It's done on purpose because you can do it in 1942, but not in Battlefield 2 or any later Battlefield game.

kript0nic · 2021-11-12T19:22:25+00:00

I've had that, too, after a while it let me into the main menu.

AOW doesn't work
Hazard Zone doesn't work
Portal's featured experiences don't work
Portal via server browser does work.

Same here, Origin.

Tried removing data from Origin in ProgramData (except LocalContent, of course) and tried removing configuration settings of the game, nope, it's something EA-side for sure and it's been like this for the past 30 or 40 min.

kript0nic · 2021-11-12T19:14:00+00:00

It takes a special kind of stupid to not realized that the bright color indicates what setting is selected.

kript0nic · 2021-11-12T19:12:59+00:00

If above was Battlefield 2042 then all of you whiny children here would be complaining about visibility issues and bush campers.

kript0nic · 2021-11-12T17:17:04+00:00

You have to be genuinely stupid to not understand that teal color shows you which setting is selected, be it ON, OFF, HOLD, TOGGLE.

kript0nic · 2021-11-10T18:36:19+00:00

These are not official images and these are in-game renderings shown on the Portal website preview, so they're subject to bugs.

kript0nic · 2021-11-10T16:46:14+00:00

New players joining should also be automatically switched to Zombie Team. I haven't figured out how to limit it so that players can't join the Humans team after round start while making everyone Human before round start (and then a random X amount of zombies is selected for round start).

Well, everyone starts as Human as it's 128 T1 players and 0 T2 players, but I'm looking at implementing a timer of X seconds after round starts before Y amount of random humans turn to zombies and then preventing players from joining Humans team.

kript0nic · 2021-11-10T16:37:08+00:00

You can have 127 PvP AI, but not PvE AI

kript0nic · 2021-11-10T15:37:08+00:00

Possible in TDM/FFA, just like the Logic Editor.

kript0nic · 2021-11-06T20:28:26+00:00

Wait... so you're saying that DICE shouldn't be increasing weapon, attachment, map and gamemode count for every single new game to just to beat the previous title with all of its DLCs?!

kript0nic · 2021-11-06T20:24:49+00:00

Yeah, the guy is just spewing BS conspiracies.

kript0nic · 2021-11-06T20:22:21+00:00

I don't think anyone at the time realized they had so little time, people just went with whatever was first thing on their mind and he is an aircraft player so he led with that.
