The supply drop comes from the specialist Angel so you can always play him an drop your own.

Is this communicated in game at all? I've been playing as angel and didn't realize he had anything but the babby ammo packs. Does everyone have a secondary right click thing?

It’s not communicated at all. And some do and don’t. Boris doesn’t have a secondary option but Irish can drop a device that zaps grenades out of the air.

it goes over each specialists abilities in the collection screen from the main menu. Some, like Sundance, have ways of altering their gadgets

also, the in-game UI even says something along the lines "right click: supply drop" when you have your ammo bag equipped as Angel but that one is easy to miss

Now that people have unlocked the Bolte, it makes the pre-patch Hovercraft seem like a minor inconvenience. The Bolte is ridiculously annoying and it's everywhere.

:dice: really don't want you to play Infantry in this game.

It confuses me that Bolte is in the same category as the jeep and hovercraft.

Like why in the world would you ever choose one of those instead of the Bolte? The secondary gun on it (or at least the one my friend has equipped; I haven't unlocked the Bolte myself yet) seems to be about as effective as the secondary gun on the Apache, which is nuts.

I have seen things
I think they stealth nerfed the Bolte already by reducing it's speed. It already gets disabled on any hit and dies in two shots so I don't think it's as OP now as it was before but in all honesty it should be a glass cannon blows up in one rocket hit vehicle probably.

The bolt with that ridiculous gun is obviously too powerful. It does not make sense to have it in the category where it is because it is so far beyond the jeep and hovercraft now that it makes them 100% obsolete. So I assume they will nerf it just like they nerfed the hovercraft

Like, why would you ever pick the jeep?

does it do anything better?

Jeep has four spots, bolte has two.

Practically this doesn't matter.

Think they should flip the battlebus and the bolte. Bolte goes in armor category and battlebus goes to the transport category.

Battlebus is slower and less nimble than the other transport options, but has armor and guns.

I use it a lot for going point to point. I don't really do a lot of vehicle combat, so it's much better for getting to a point then bailing where if the other ones get stolen it's a bigger problem.

Its dual channel, but dipping very low to 30-40 fps during firefights. Got DLSS Performance on with everything low and it looked like a potatoe.

Bumped up to 1440p just to take a look and it looked better but performance was hit even more at like 20fps low end.

Do you have your clock speed set correctly in your bios? That kind of performance sounds real low for the system you have

Did you have good performance before the patch? I know someone with a 3900x that had the game running well, but after the update it stutters and runs badly for him. Seems to be a rare occurrence though, at least based on what he could find out.

spent about 20min last night just trying to get 2 squads of 3 into the same game on the same team and gave up because no one at dice has more than 3 friends I guess? it never worked so we ended up playing against each other via portal browser (in a game with 16 total real players)

gently caress this game is so fuckin stupid. just incredibly bad. if there is a SGOTY (shittiest game of the year) award, this game wins.

and that doesnt even begin to consider the numerous game breaking bugs once you actually get in. still losing loadouts, hit (no)detection, Pointless Operators, terrible vehicle system, broken weapon balance.

I want a refund of my 10 hours played in the free trial because its fuckin garbage. at this stage I should be paid for my time. just absolute worst game. negative 10 out of 10.

Extremely normal discourse around a game that is 11 days old :stare:

When you've got exclusively Battlefield content creators (yes I know) who somehow managed to grown their channels during BFV who are peacing out of 2042 and quitting making BF content entirely, it doesn't look good. Influencers/content creators aren't the end all be all of if a game is good but in 2021 they have a major impact in how your product is received, for better or worse.

I’m about to tap out because the loving matchmaking system is so bad that it’s made me play Breakaway 5 times in a row. Sitting at the main menu and automatically stopping the matchmaking every time it tries to give me Breakaway or Discarded (the only 2 maps it has offered me seemingly all day) is not fun.

I came across one questionable guy and for sure know that hacks exist that already circumvent EAC. Part of the thing keeping them rare right now is it's a subscription based cheat, basically $2 a day

I wonder if the forced matchmaking is creating the appearance of cheater scarcity, sort of like PUBG or Warzone where as long as you're stuck at the lower levels cheaters appear to be fairly rare but if you play a lot and get better you start running into them more and more

I want to find whoever is paying 2$ a day to cheat at 2042 and interview them. Like they could be paying to cheat at literally any other game and they chose 2042.

Discarded is really bad for Breakthrough attackers on the first set of points. You are just so far from either objective. And both objectives are so far from each other. An equilateral triangle of open fields.

I just got the game so can't compare prepatch.

Yeah clock speed should be set to auto? Don't think I have an overclock. Ram speed is set to the rated settings so should be good on that too. I dropped it to render at 1080p and had it on low with dlss highest or second highest performance and frames were acceptable.

I remember BFV running way better at medium, though it's been awhile.

I dunno I actually like them both in conquest. I just generally avoid the slog in the middle of the ship and gently caress around in vehicles around the B-C points mostly for discarded. Breakaway has a lot of variety that I really enjoy in conquest outside of the A points.

2142 is the best battlefield they did cause the freedom to make up all their own vehicles let them make a combined arms meta that was less annoying than the usual binary of 'helis and jets dominant / helis and jets trash'.

also the maps and guns were more fun, and the game mode about destroying the giant ship was cool.

but COD 4 really hosed up fps games for a long time by proving that what people really wanted was to jack off to pretending to be a tier 1 operator in iraq

fairly sure the weird cartoony one you're talking about was BF Heroes, which people do remember (since it was, for all its flaws, somewhat ahead of its time)

same with BF Vietnam, though more for its licensed music and how absolutely busted the Heavy Assault class was I think
