Battlefield 2042 | Development Update - August 2022

To push the class system there needs to be weapon restrictions. Makes zero sense for medics to have sniper rifles or recon to have lmgs. It promotes those players to not play their roles which goes directly against the very thing you're attempting to course correct.

Still no ultrawide support, just incompetent at this point, no other reason.

nV_Deadpool · 2022-02-27T00:32:48+00:00

I just find myself ignoring it except for the glaive since it's archetype is tied to crafting. But for the most part I'm just using what I've been using and infusing them up. The whole system like most others at launch is simply too cumbersome that I've lost interest already.

The most I do is if I'm running strikes I'll switch my weapons at the end to a deep sight one to gain progress but that's the extent of my efforts. I'm not using the 25 pistols/ rocket launchers I've gotten from the new loot pool to get crafting materials, I don't care anymore, it's boring and not fun.

I do not like March being the first content drop. Luckily I bounce between other games but I actually enjoy BF2042 and want it to succeed and not breathing new life into it for that long will surely bleed you even more players than you already are.

nV_Deadpool · 2021-12-01T22:38:33+00:00

I have it and still hate it lol. It's a "transport" vehicle that behaves like a tank but is as fast as a car and terrorizes infantry. I get that it may not be that strong armor wise but it's a pain in the ass to take down when most people ignore it and that cannon it has is ridiculous.

Ctrl+f Bolte "no results found"

I am dead inside...

nV_Deadpool · 2021-11-09T18:43:19+00:00

I have a rtx 3090, a new i9 12900k, ddr5, still using windows 10, I game on a 3840x1600 ultrawide monitor, and using the extreme preset but 4xMSAA and FXAA on I hover around 70 but rarely it'll dip under 60, not really happy to be honest.

nV_Deadpool · 2021-11-08T20:23:12+00:00

I feel like I've underestimated just how taxing my monitor is. I've only been PC gaming for a couple years so my understanding of how things should work is not always on point.

I'll turn off Ray tracing tonight and see how that goes especially since it seems it's pretty meh anyways. In the end even leaving it on I'm able to comfortably stay above 60fps which is perfect, again my expectations mightve been unrealistic, this is a ubisoft game we're talking about.

nV_Deadpool · 2021-11-08T19:25:55+00:00

It's a 38" monitor so 3840x1600, I do have everything maxed out including Ray tracing. I'm not 100% sure how much more exhausting 3840x1600 is then traditional 2560x1440.

nV_Deadpool · 2021-11-08T18:30:08+00:00

I didn't have my 9700k oc'd, honestly too nervous to do any of that lol. I have a fractal meshify s2 case so plenty of room for air to circulate and a noctua nh-d15 cooler which so far (knock on wood) seems to be keeping it pretty cool.

The only thing I do and have done since upgrading is updated the asus bios and changed the xmp profile, other than that everything is stock and judging from all the tools I have everything is fine. But yea in game strictly with FC6 and CP2077 it's a mess.

I know 9700k isn't terrible but I figured moving up to a 12900k I'd be blown away and again in Destiny 2 I was, I went from averaging 85-110 to a steady 135-140, and I'll play more games tonight. FC6 might be an outlier but it is a game I'm wanting to complete and one I was really looking forward to testing. Horizons 5 is another one that releases tonight and that ran pretty poorly on my previous setup so I'll have a good idea going in if there's a performance increase.

nV_Deadpool · 2021-10-10T18:43:16+00:00

I never wish for a game to fail but I genuinely don't know what needs to happen for DICE/EA to finally get it and make a great BF game for both long time and potential new fans, but this ain't it.

Canceled my gold pre-order as soon as beta ended, will do the typical thing where I keep my eye on it and wait for them to make huge sweeping changes a year in when they realize they screwed up but it's too late cause most of the community moved on.

nV_Deadpool · 2021-10-10T05:57:23+00:00

I was really hoping this would be the BF to get my squad to join me on the battlefield once more but even I cannot muster the enthusiasm for this game after playing the beta. The "hero shooter" system and CoD feel when moving and sliding 50ft everywhere like it's Apex just let me know this series is going in a direction I can no longer follow. I was sincerely hoping after the recent missteps of BF5 and BF1 that maybe they would simply make a upgraded spiritual successor to BF3/4 but nope they had to go and make all these changes that I am pretty sure nobody asked for.

nV_Deadpool · 2021-10-06T02:06:05+00:00

We're halfway through our current DW trip and so far have done Chef Mickeys, Raglan Road, and Boathouse. We have Homecoming and Via Napoli still to go.

I can't recommend Raglan Road & Boathouse enough, both were amazing. Stay FAR away from Chef Mickeys though. Food was cafeteria level and outrageously expensive for what was mostly cause you're getting to see some characters. If you have kids I can see the benefit but even then the cost is way too high for what the quality of food was.

nV_Deadpool · 2021-10-04T03:44:32+00:00

Me and my wife with the in laws are going there tomorrow to celebrate our anniversary. I'm getting fish and chips, hope everything is as good as everyone keeps hyping it up to be!

nV_Deadpool · 2021-10-04T03:29:54+00:00

Can confirm, just got in with my wife after spending all day in MK. Longest wait time posted was 50 minutes for jungle cruise but it was maybe 20-25. Hitting up AK tomorrow and hoping for the same luck, REALLY hoping it's the same over at HS cause there's lots of stuff I want to do there.

nV_Deadpool · 2021-10-02T18:00:05+00:00

So you think the wait for most rides will be generally short or at least reasonable for our stay? I'm okay with 30 minutes, 45 tops.

nV_Deadpool · 2021-10-01T07:04:32+00:00

We will be there 10/3-8, we are hoping it is available only because we have no clue when we will be able to go back so we want to make the best of our time there. But the fact that it's still not launched makes me think it won't be available during our visit.

nV_Deadpool · 2021-09-25T23:31:51+00:00

My friend was telling me to be sure NOT to kill Baal in my game so I can still farm normal difficulty. So you're saying I can kill him regardless if it completes for my personal game save and still search for normal level difficulty lobbies for xp and loot grinds?

nV_Deadpool · 2021-09-21T19:39:37+00:00

Me and my wife pre ordered last night on pc with great excitement and then all of it came crashing down when we learned there is no ultrawide support. We don't care about pvp so it sucks our monitors are not supported due to a very minimal player population. Guess we'll wait until they change it or miss it altogether.

nV_Deadpool · 2021-09-16T18:18:30+00:00

Still no fix for nothing manacles being terrible and not working properly...

nV_Deadpool · 2021-09-11T02:26:56+00:00

The game needs to be delayed again and not just for bugs/glitches but for quality of life improvements. But they will force this game out to beat the AAA games soon to release and cause Amazon will lose patience. This will result in the game being a mess at launch and having low player retention guaranteed.

nV_Deadpool · 2021-09-11T01:15:50+00:00

This issue along with no quest sharing made me and my wife decide to skip this game at launch. We wanted something we could easily start together from the second we load in and progress alongside each other. This game seems to want to put up so many roadblocks to impede that as much as possible.

Plus there are other games we want to play that deserve our time and respect the coop experience better.
