The scoreboard had huge significance for me, it was feedback for how well I had performed and provided context for the journey. I don't play so much now, but when I did, I'd quite often find myself in the bottom half of the scoreboard. Trying new tactics and just general improvement could be measured only by team win and k/d. Take that away and I lost any sense of progression and was just rinse & repeat de_dust2. Perhaps I'm biased as back in the day the scoreboard was all you had to stare at while you chatted with the rest of your dead companions and waited for the bomb to go off - or get diffused. I only came to Battlefield during the BC2 days and while the chat was gone I still relied for the scoreboard to alleviate the repetition and tell me how I was doing. Also, watching a lot of machinima, the scoreboard at the end of a round seemed a nice way for folk to sign off, adding a sense of closure.
@DurzoBlint116 they really arnt, just point the circle kinda close to a vehicle and fire. The close the target is though the closer to the outline of the circle it needs to be
The Bolte looks like a fun way to play. Huge damage from that gunner seat, like the bf3 attack heli gunner cannon, and this mines & missiles combo that seems hugely OP. More content like this please before it gets patched.
Much props and appreciation to Ravic for consistently posting quality content on a disappointing game. It still has lots of potential and I still like Portal. The mines are so effective and fun. Reminds me of Bad Company 2 (my fav BF) and of course BF2. Ravic and Musik have been posting excellent content since than. Lookin forward to more gameplay and BF2042 updates. Keep rockin it steady, BF style.
Ravic, everything you stated in the description was literally what I was about to ask you to do in your next upcoming video. Constantly, I see complaints on how long dice took implementing a scoreboard. I always just want to scream at them saying there have been worse patches that took dice years, literal years, to fix seemingly small and simple issues. Thank you for saying all that, keep up the amazing work buddy.
It's the lack of features for this game compared to previous titles, yes a scoreboard or voip may not necessarily make or break the game but like you'd expect it to be there for an fps title and given the fact that they were there since what?The last 5 major bf titles? But yea, if it took them months to add a scoreboard then I am sure whatever broken or overpowered gun/vehicle/gameplay mechanic in the game isn't going to get fixed anytime soon, I am not a video game developer but I'd have to disagree that adding a scoreboard is as complex as actually reviewing damage stats on weapons or splash damage value or damage drop off ranges etc.. in anycase, maybe given the fact how most of the community aren't playing the game anymore that they would truly work their asses off for the next title whenever it might come (or if it might come) but as always, we should keep our expectations low when it comes to this current DICE studio & EA. Live service my ass, while am not a big fan of cod and the direction activision took with mw2019, at least it was a stable game and they kept pumping up new weapons and modes on a regular basis before wz fucked it all up.
Now, I know you are just showing us the fun parts and none of the boring parts but man, you guys always make whatever game you are playing look easy! Thank you for all the vids you make for us.
no, this game is legitimately fun and has some great aspects. if you only watch videos of gitches and people clickbaiting for the hate you will think its unplayable mess.
I have a tendency to try and find stuff I find entertaining, funny or satisfying in Battlefield games and share them with others. That has generally been the way I or we've gone about playing Battlefield games even when I absolutely hated them ( BF1 ) because at the end of the day I know I'm not the target audience but if some of the elements are still there I should be able to create my own fun.
@@Ravic Indeed!! I have loved your stuff ever since my son told me about your channel. My fave is still the moments you put the 60's Star Trek fight music in the vids and I'm just trying to sound appreciative. :)
It's good to see someone enjoying the game. It has issues, yes, but if you like it, no one can take that from you. Ravic and Mus1CK, I appreciate y'all for what you guys do seriously. Always been top fuckin dudes
i think it's easier to backup into a tank, layout your mines then have your gunner get their attention, it's worked wonders for me when i was playing in the first few weeks with a buddy of mine.
Tbh I couldn’t care less about the scoreboard being added, I just think that dice should’ve realised that a large amount of people would complain about the things that are missing; the scoreboard is just one of the many things that have been left out. Most of the problems with the game are things that really shouldn’t be an issue and justifying them buy saying that ‘older games had issues too’ is missing the point
Yeah but why now?!? Why now is it a problem, how many years has it been before a large enough people actually set that point across. Look at where we are at because they just make it a standard at this point.
@@anthonyplatero1147 So people should just not complain? I don't really understand your point here. Yes, battlefield games have had many rocky launches and issues, but is the solution to this complacency?
@@ActraiserAnimations By that merit is commenting on UA-cam gonna do anything about it? I'm not a Dice dev, the best you can do is ignore it. That more often than not will kill a game look at lawbreakers, died because people stopped caring. They stopped talking about and the game's service died simple as that.
@@anthonyplatero1147 so we should just roll over and accept big game companies selling us shoddy unfinished products. By that logic you should be fine with paying full price for a house and getting a shed. Complacency is not a solution
@@ginj-ninj-4445 Where did I say complacency? People fuck up all the time, that's social darwinism for you. Don't pre-order simple as that. Yet people do, people say it all the time. They don't listen that's what they get.
I've been using missles + cluster mines (the ones that blow up on a timer) since almost the beginning and its so much fun. especially on breakthrough you can drive by a group of infantry and get 10 kills with it
"who did i kill?" you definitely killed whichever guy survived the crash and stayed near the chopper, I had something similar happen bf3 where I shot down a transport and the guy lived long enough to run around the nose only to die to the flipping carcass of the chopper final death explosion(it rolled onto him and crushed him when it blew up)
Ravic I love your video descriptions. I watch other BF content creators and I always see that all of the comments are about how 2042 is shit and a bunch of nitpicking, even if the game was just updated. I understand that people were disappointed with the game but it’s literally such a bandwagon of hate, like you can’t be a part of the Battlefield community without openly criticizing the game or the devs. Been a fan of yours for years, glad to see you making the most of the game instead of ruining it further for yourself and others by maintaining a negative attitude. Hope you’re doing well, keep it up :)
There are plenty of issues with the game that have been discussed thoroughly by a lot of people but when that same hate/whining/crying gets applied to things that the community supposedly asked for then what is the point of listening to what they say if no matter what they are going to cry. Like why would DICE take anyone seriously after that. DICE: "wow they really seem to want a scoreboard, okay lets try to work on one while we also try to fix, change and continue creating content we are way behind for", "okay here is the scoreboard", Battlefield Community: "why did it take so long this game sucks"...DICE: "...k"
@@Ravic Uh, that prototype of a scoreboard they released didn't look good at all. It mixed players with two teams, and with that high of a player count, not to mention the lack of scrolling down, it just tested the patience of the "toxic" community and industry. Yes, it's been fixed since then, but it'd still be nice to see how much ping each person has, along with actually being able to scroll down the board. It's an idiot obvious feature nobody should be asking to get back. It's "adorable" to see a fuck up like that even happen after all these years. Somehow DICE managed to make a competent scoreboard in 2016. Crash to desktop, I understand, considering it's hard to detect that through even the most rigorous of stress testing, but making a scoreboard is definitely easier than _that._ Which makes me want to ask Hakita how long it took him to make a scoreboard for Cybergrind. I understand that game is smaller in scope than 2042, but they were able to make scoreboards consistently in the past, some better than others.
@@troypowers750 I didn't say anything about the prototype scoreboard I was referring to the issue of people crying all the time. Whether that is when they are given something they asked for or when something doesn't works it sends the wrong message/signal to studios and developers if you cry at everything. I don't think you fully understand the things I said in the video description. All of this has happened before in one form or another across all the Battlefield games. Something else to consider is DICE doesn't really make the same game over and over again, they change Battlefield ( add, remove, tweak, etc. ) with each release. Technically they did put in a scoreboard, it was just a different one than the previous game where instead it was a more personal scoreboard, they changed the game so it wasn't the same as the previous title. Was it the right move? No or at least not according to the community. Same exact thing happened with the "Attrition System" in BFV, DICE tried to change how Battlefield worked and was played. Was it the right move? Nope, it was god awful and they rolled back on that system eventually. You said: *"Crash to desktop, I understand, considering it's hard to detect that through even the most rigorous of stress testing"* - It and the cause was well documented by the community and explained publicly by cheat communities on how it worked, DICE just didn't bother to do anything about it for years. But thanks for comparing that one to making a new scoreboard right after a game is launched as it brings up part of the rant I left out, I'll try to keep it short and simple. Considering how a game's continued support team is smaller than the launch teams for games and the amount of content, bugs, glitches and other fixes they have to work on what you end up in is a scenario where you are asking an entire team that is already swamped with tasks to work on a "want" project and not a "need" project. So it gets worked on by a few people in-between some of their more critical tasks.
@@Ravic thank god they cry all the time, because how else would DICE figure out about exploits like being invisible back in BF4's launch? I'm asking why you think it's "adorable" that we're crying about basic features like the scoreboard not being there at launch and more things wrong with this franchise? Do you mean DICE is out of touch or our expectations really are that brutal? So yeah I fucked up on the crash to desktop thing. I understand each new franchise comes with new changes or different concepts, but if the execution is consistently shit with every new release, that goes to show the development cycle with these teams and who's leading them. I thought CTEs were supposed to help the devs determine whether the community would accept these changes? But apparently that's been abandoned in favor for a completely unsustainable beta system that 2042 ran on. I mention the concept of the scoreboard and the final build to illustrate how out of touch leadership is, considering we already had that perfected in the most recent games several years ago. A ping monitor, kd, score, I don't know...something more than just ranking squads and squad scores like a Battleroyale? I feel like my intelligence is being tested, and I didn't even buy many Battlefield games. I'm pretty sure when a fan base has experienced some of the worst releases in recent years, not to mention other games like NFS and Battlefront receiving the same fate, we'd be mad about, I don't know, how shockingly obvious it is that EA doesn't know about games anymore?
I just played on hourglass against ravic fedge and musick. Geez musick fucked me up a few times and I almost killed fedge just for my squad mate to steal the kill. You guys are a tough fight, ggs
Not everyone played the previous BF games. A lot of new players got into the series with BF1. So their expectations of a BF launch aren't gonna be the same as someone like you or me who's played the games for more than a decade. So those people will definitely whine, understandably so. Yeah, there was BF5, but that could have been an outlier
@@troypowers750 Their effectiveness or tracking? (I had the smart rockets on the Cobra and they dint seem to auto target). Speaking of 4, ONE thing 2042 got right was adding a button for F-35 VTOL... I still can't find a solid way (PS4) where you can get it go work. Typically I fly as low and slow as possible and cannot ever remember the VTOL activating while landing. Usually I'd have to hit something like drones on the range.
In a way they are similar to the LAW in BF4 in that they are auto-lock/magnetic/gravitate/track vehicles if they are within a certain radius of the reticle. That means they don't track infantry and I don't even think their damage can even be applied to infantry but I haven't confirmed that one and I haven't come across it yet during my playtime of the game. Anyways it only "tracks" vehicles and only does significant damage to transport vehicles like the LATV or Hovercraft ( you can one-volley destroy them ), they do maybe 1% damage to armor and a small chunk of damage to aircraft as it takes multiple volleys to destroy them with these missiles.
@@Ravic thanks! Is there a way to tell I'd they're tracking / locked on? I can never tell. Once in awhile I can see them curve alittle, but here in your videos they curve more (and more than a bullet in Wanted). I also can't confirm that missiles do damage to infantry. I feel like it's the same (same coding?) as those STAFF shells. Sometimes they hit and kill/damage infantry, but 99% of the time they don't. With STAFF Shells it's like you have to guess the impact / trajectory, as visually STAFF shells are odd. If that makes sense : MPAT/HEAT: ------->X STAFF: ------->-------->X STAFF (Appears) to hit one place but actually hit in another, further away. Almost like a railgun and the sabot rounds, being 2 Stage
I have to admit that even though the Bolte is OP and there are too many of them, they are super fun roadkill machines and I will be sad when DICE does whatever ham-fisted thing they will do to nerf them in the 3.4 patch. I'd much rather that they leave the Bolte alone but move it to the armor category and move the MAV into a transport category to be shared with the LATV and Hovercraft. The Bolte would still be a legit option as it is so darn fun and we'd see more legitimate use of vehicles for transport and mobile spawn.
I don't know about moving the MAV to transport unless you plan on removing all those gunner/turret seats because when it's fully unlocked it can be devastating especially when anyone on the team can spawn on it. The moving the Bolte to armor category is a good idea or a way to help reduce them but also increase the availability of the other transport vehicles ( LATV and Hovercraft ).
@@Ravic I recall a BF2 clan called IMA who had a transport-only rental server. Just Vodniks and Hummers and infantry. Great fun. I was optimistic when I heard about Portal that we might see that possibility rise again in BF2042 but they really have not done much to make transport vehicles viable. Even with the feedback on map traversal they just want to move control points around. Oh well. I think as you say, if they watered down the MAV a bit and swapped categories with the Bolte the game would be in a better place overall.
Yeah they made changes at one point, buffed them at another point, broke them later, then nerfed them into the ground because they became an actual real counter to aircraft.
Technically that category is called "LIGHT" but I agree the Bolte belongs in the Armor category and the MAV belongs in Surface Transport with the LATV and Hovercraft.
In my opinion, I am surprised that you are still playing 2042 despite all that you have seen with 2042, ad nauseam. Yes, it completely makes sense how fun it is to play with friends with 2042, which would be my only basis for playing the game entirely. Now since people want to talk about the incorporation of adding a scoreboard in the new game, why did adding a scoreboard become a problem in 2021 when game developing generally is by far technologically advanced as opposed to a decade ago. I just don't understand why not having a scoreboard in 2042 for a 2021 game, became a problem of not already being integrated in 2042 in the beginning launch. There was literally no good reason for incorporating a scoreboard into 2042 to become such an unecessary issue in the first place when it should have been done in the beginning. I can understand why the new Battlefield consumer would be pissed. 4 years ago in 2018, they automatically had a scoreboard in Battlefield V when the game started, so there shouldn't be any excuses to today. I never played Battlefield V, so I don't know what issues may have persisted. On the other hand, my first Battlefield game was Battlefield Bad Company in summer of 2008 when my older brother showed me on the Xbox 360. The same engine for BFBC was just fine with the amount that you could do without being so limited for a 2008 game. In correlation to Battlefield 1, I just don't understand why you disagreed with or hated Battlefield 1 with, "significant changes to it that took away a lot of the sandbox nature that was still in previous Battlefield games." My only answer to your response which your response doesn't make a lot of sense would be, the destruction alone in Battlefield 1 had much more of a sandbox than 2042 when the game launched just based off of the unscripted destruction, and to do whatever you want in an unscripted manner just like every Battlefield game. What are you talking about when you say sandbox? Are you talking about the ability to have a sandbox gamemode like what 2042 did or what I just told you. Honestly, 2042 should not have major problematic issues like it did, instead of having the minor issues like Battlefield has always had. With what the game has presented, 2042 does not do it for me unless I only play with friends. The last great Battlefield game in my opinion was Battlefield 4 with modern gameplay combat, and Battlefield 1 for old historical based gameplay combat.
I don't know why people make that comment about destruction in BF2042, there is still a lot of destruction it's just different. Just like how destruction in BFV was different from BF1 and destruction was different from BF4 compared to BF3. They change destruction to fit the overall design and gameplay loop the game is based on. You can destroy a lot of walls and buildings in BF2042 so I don't know why people say there isn't any. I can drive straight through those building on the D flag on Hourglass. The last Battlefield game you could play alone and consistently have fun was BF3, after that changes were made to the Battlefield titles that followed that made it difficult to enjoy that playstyle and required friends or a group of players you could always play with as a squad, otherwise you were hindered so much whether it was because of class balanced, infantry vs vehicle balance, map design or any number of things. BF1 didn't feel historical at all, it felt like what Hollywood ( movies and tv shows ) thinks WW1 was like. The suppression in BF1 alone makes it one of the worst Battlefield titles, but of course that is personal opinion, remember I'm not the target audience, the casual console player was the target audience for BF1.
Depends on the region. Overall it's hard to gauge and any conclusions I come to would be derived from anecdotal evidence. Yes I still enjoy the game especially when I play it with friends.
I know your question is for Ravic but I am US East and do not have trouble getting 128 player Breakthrough games. Sometimes they start with some bots but it takes only a couple of minutes before those slots are filled by players. I hope that DICE makes a move to retain players by releasing new content soon, though.
Do you think them changing the flag positions closer together will make a difference, rather than accepting 128 players was probably a bad idea? And this has gotta impact new map development given they may have to redesign what they've already got right? Given the tight resource balance between improving the game and adding new content, honestly suprised some of the larger portal maps aren't just being dropped into the main conquest playlist to hold everyone over while they fix shit.
There are probably a few reasons why they haven't brought over maps from Portal, a separate team manages and develops content for it so there might be some asset conflicts in bring them over to or into the base game. Or the file space allocation is already meant to be filled by content being created for the Seasons we are supposed to eventually have. Or maybe they are concerned it will mess up the game's identity if they don't keep it separated. I'm not saying they shouldn't I just wouldn't be surprised if there were legitimate reasons why they haven't. Moving flag positions closer together would be counter to their design of the other maps and the game itself. They specifically mentioned they designed it to be spaced out clustered fights. Honestly I don't think they are that big or don't feel that big with fast you can sprint in the game, it's maybe thirty seconds between major areas and people tend to get easily distracted so shooting at something on the way so it "feels" bigger than it really is. It's not really a running simulator unless for some reason a person decides to go way out of the way to flank. When the 128 players thing was initially rumored I thought it was a bad idea because I didn't think the technology ( hardware/software ) existed for that to be fluid and not have issues, before the game launched I gave them the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe they came up with some magical fix for it to work. Turns out they sacrificed a lot of things in order to make it barely okay ( still constant rubber-banding in the background ) like spectator, tickrate and a few other things. I don't think it was worth the trade/sacrifice and it's fine if they want to go to slightly smaller maps with 64 players but it's pointless if they don't increase the tickrate at the same time.
@@Ravic Thanks for the detailed reply, it does seem like they're accommodating the vocal people as usual by change in tack on the design. The feedback post example dice showed for kaleidoscope seemed to pretty much make the top half of the map irrelevant, even moving the uncaps so both are in the southern corners, so for other maps like renewal who knows what they're planning and how much map space will go to waste.
@@PurveyorOfEmetophili If you are talking about the prototype changes they showed for Conquest Kaleidoscope those changes are a bad idea or mistake in a lot of ways but the main one is moving the RU spawn to the bottom right next to the skyscrapers that easily give access to the rest of the map as well as give cover and block line of sight on any lock-ons whether in a ground or air vehicle. The opposing side doesn't have the same amount of cover and if they don't populate that main road at the bottom with a bunch of junk like they did Orbital's ramp it's going to allow tanks, etc. to shoot into each other's main spawn. Hopefully they just posted it as a distraction for the community because honestly Conquest Kaleidoscope isn't that bad it's like 20-30 second run to any flag sometimes less, air vehicles tend to be the bigger problem on that map. I'd rather see changes to Manifest.
@@Ravic I hope you're right about that, potentially it could go either way, but bringing everyone closer together can't be good for performance either given that's more players on average inside the higher tickrate "bubble" right? And like you say the game isn't designed around that anyway. Just as long as we don't see another CTE situation for testing it. I didn't feel like the bf4 one was particularly helpful since it seemed to be populated mostly by sweatlords intent on removing fun from the game.
Hey guys, I would like to bring attention to a great gameplay feature of Battlefiled 2042 that many players seem to miss out. I'm talking about the Portal Battlefiled 1942 remake. It is the Battlefield game we have all wanted for years: It features great maps that are well designed and offer plenty of cover in all the right places. On top of that, it has terrific graphics that are quite different from the main game (they're at least as good as BF1's). Gunplay is excellent and feels satisfying, as health regeneration is turned off and weapons have a high damage output (assault rifle: 3 shots at maximum range). This leads to much more tactical gameplay than in the main game, as every bullet counts. This is something that long-time Battlefiled fans will especially appreciate. Also, the destruction in this game is very detailed and feels very realistic (practically everything can be destroyed, even tall buildings, such as a church, located on a map). All of the aforementioned points combined result in an extremely immersive experience that feels like a real Battlefield game and is dramatically different from the main game. You get the feeling that this is a completely different game from the main game, as so much love and detail has been put into these worlds (probably by a different team that wasn't involved in the development of the main game). Unfortunately, the content is limited (2 maps and about 15 weapons), but it feels like a real Battlefield game and is a lot of fun to play. I would be very pleased if dice would develop this over time into a full-fledged standalone game with more maps and weapons. Right now the game is on the 'featured' list in the portal, so I would recommend you to try it out (also enjoyable on the last generation).
I Find this game better than Bf 1 and 5 but lots of cathing up to meet level of Legendary Bf 3 and 4. or may be I am wrong cause I seen people doing crazy stunt kills with grapple rope to kill a Little bird in midair.
Uh there was never any kind of "simple balance act" in BF4. Stuff was broken, buffed, nerfed throughout the game's lifespan. It's like that for every Battlefield title.
In game voice are meant to be badass but is just annoying. They made the game seem like nothing really matters like war is cool and killing and dying is nothing. This is basically BF with a NFS atmosphere.
GOD loves you enough to send HIS only SON to save you and if you repent and turn from your sins and be baptized in THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON and THE HOLY SPIRIT. ((if you haven't )
I guess you can have some fun if you don't think about it as a real Battlefield game and do stupid shit like here where a weird buggy can spam mines to instakill tanks or other vehicles and also kill aircraft because of stupid rockets. Doesn't change the fact that the game is still bleeding players and will be almost dead before it's first real content update lmao. And that it's a disgusting, useless piece of trash of a game.
@@Jousten16 Okay cool story, so like you gonna campaign that or something? I heard it during earlier battlefield games, it legit is nothing new. By no means should it succeed, just leave that argument to Dice/EA not UA-cam. It's so much of the same shit time and again it's a broken fucking record at this point.

Most of the problems with the game are things that really shouldn’t be an issue and justifying them buy saying that ‘older games had issues too’ is missing the point
Yeah but why now?!? Why now is it a problem, how many years has it been before a large enough people actually set that point across. Look at where we are at because they just make it a standard at this point.
@@anthonyplatero1147 So people should just not complain? I don't really understand your point here. Yes, battlefield games have had many rocky launches and issues, but is the solution to this complacency?
@@ActraiserAnimations By that merit is commenting on UA-cam gonna do anything about it? I'm not a Dice dev, the best you can do is ignore it. That more often than not will kill a game look at lawbreakers, died because people stopped caring. They stopped talking about and the game's service died simple as that.
@@anthonyplatero1147 so we should just roll over and accept big game companies selling us shoddy unfinished products. By that logic you should be fine with paying full price for a house and getting a shed. Complacency is not a solution
@@ginj-ninj-4445 Where did I say complacency? People fuck up all the time, that's social darwinism for you. Don't pre-order simple as that. Yet people do, people say it all the time. They don't listen that's what they get.
I've been using missles + cluster mines (the ones that blow up on a timer) since almost the beginning and its so much fun. especially on breakthrough you can drive by a group of infantry and get 10 kills with it
Yup, fart mines, silent and invisible but quite deadly.
There is nothing better than landing a jump on a group of infantry and cleaning up the survivors with the popcorn poppers.
I say Merry Christmas every time I drive next to someone and drop the clusters LOL
No chat for reactions is a damn shame and crime to the bf franchise
It's the hydraulic suspension that makes the ripsaw so responsive.
"who did i kill?" you definitely killed whichever guy survived the crash and stayed near the chopper, I had something similar happen bf3 where I shot down a transport and the guy lived long enough to run around the nose only to die to the flipping carcass of the chopper final death explosion(it rolled onto him and crushed him when it blew up)
those tracks have some crazy acceleration, if you were inside that it would feel like you´re some kind of muscle car
Driving fast through a packed cap dropping anti personnel mines is very rewarding
they always give the IFVs crazy weapons. multiple times the missles just skipped what he was aiming for and just crossmapped someone by accident lol

@@Ravic Should use that on a title
Ravic I love your video descriptions. I watch other BF content creators and I always see that all of the comments are about how 2042 is shit and a bunch of nitpicking, even if the game was just updated. I understand that people were disappointed with the game but it’s literally such a bandwagon of hate, like you can’t be a part of the Battlefield community without openly criticizing the game or the devs. Been a fan of yours for years, glad to see you making the most of the game instead of ruining it further for yourself and others by maintaining a negative attitude. Hope you’re doing well, keep it up :)
There are plenty of issues with the game that have been discussed thoroughly by a lot of people but when that same hate/whining/crying gets applied to things that the community supposedly asked for then what is the point of listening to what they say if no matter what they are going to cry. Like why would DICE take anyone seriously after that. DICE: "wow they really seem to want a scoreboard, okay lets try to work on one while we also try to fix, change and continue creating content we are way behind for", "okay here is the scoreboard", Battlefield Community: "why did it take so long this game sucks"...DICE: "...k"
@@Ravic the scoreboard should've been in the game to begin with, among other missing features.
@@Ravic Uh, that prototype of a scoreboard they released didn't look good at all. It mixed players with two teams, and with that high of a player count, not to mention the lack of scrolling down, it just tested the patience of the "toxic" community and industry. Yes, it's been fixed since then, but it'd still be nice to see how much ping each person has, along with actually being able to scroll down the board. It's an idiot obvious feature nobody should be asking to get back. It's "adorable" to see a fuck up like that even happen after all these years. Somehow DICE managed to make a competent scoreboard in 2016. Crash to desktop, I understand, considering it's hard to detect that through even the most rigorous of stress testing, but making a scoreboard is definitely easier than _that._ Which makes me want to ask Hakita how long it took him to make a scoreboard for Cybergrind. I understand that game is smaller in scope than 2042, but they were able to make scoreboards consistently in the past, some better than others.
@@troypowers750 I didn't say anything about the prototype scoreboard I was referring to the issue of people crying all the time. Whether that is when they are given something they asked for or when something doesn't works it sends the wrong message/signal to studios and developers if you cry at everything. I don't think you fully understand the things I said in the video description. All of this has happened before in one form or another across all the Battlefield games. Something else to consider is DICE doesn't really make the same game over and over again, they change Battlefield ( add, remove, tweak, etc. ) with each release. Technically they did put in a scoreboard, it was just a different one than the previous game where instead it was a more personal scoreboard, they changed the game so it wasn't the same as the previous title. Was it the right move? No or at least not according to the community. Same exact thing happened with the "Attrition System" in BFV, DICE tried to change how Battlefield worked and was played. Was it the right move? Nope, it was god awful and they rolled back on that system eventually. You said: *"Crash to desktop, I understand, considering it's hard to detect that through even the most rigorous of stress testing"* - It and the cause was well documented by the community and explained publicly by cheat communities on how it worked, DICE just didn't bother to do anything about it for years. But thanks for comparing that one to making a new scoreboard right after a game is launched as it brings up part of the rant I left out, I'll try to keep it short and simple. Considering how a game's continued support team is smaller than the launch teams for games and the amount of content, bugs, glitches and other fixes they have to work on what you end up in is a scenario where you are asking an entire team that is already swamped with tasks to work on a "want" project and not a "need" project. So it gets worked on by a few people in-between some of their more critical tasks.
@@Ravic thank god they cry all the time, because how else would DICE figure out about exploits like being invisible back in BF4's launch? I'm asking why you think it's "adorable" that we're crying about basic features like the scoreboard not being there at launch and more things wrong with this franchise? Do you mean DICE is out of touch or our expectations really are that brutal? So yeah I fucked up on the crash to desktop thing. I understand each new franchise comes with new changes or different concepts, but if the execution is consistently shit with every new release, that goes to show the development cycle with these teams and who's leading them. I thought CTEs were supposed to help the devs determine whether the community would accept these changes? But apparently that's been abandoned in favor for a completely unsustainable beta system that 2042 ran on. I mention the concept of the scoreboard and the final build to illustrate how out of touch leadership is, considering we already had that perfected in the most recent games several years ago. A ping monitor, kd, score, I don't know...something more than just ranking squads and squad scores like a Battleroyale? I feel like my intelligence is being tested, and I didn't even buy many Battlefield games. I'm pretty sure when a fan base has experienced some of the worst releases in recent years, not to mention other games like NFS and Battlefront receiving the same fate, we'd be mad about, I don't know, how shockingly obvious it is that EA doesn't know about games anymore?
nice smoke transition at 8:45
I just played on hourglass against ravic fedge and musick. Geez musick fucked me up a few times and I almost killed fedge just for my squad mate to steal the kill. You guys are a tough fight, ggs
2:01 - He/she was so thirst! NYOOOOONNN
Game needs to give me my money back, I miss the BF5 videos.
That evil laugh after every kill 💀
I was almost disappointed that there was no squeaky toy sound clip after how many people you ran over this video.
There is a time and place.
06:13 - i‘m a finisher … and bang turned on the roof, could be me 😂😂😂
Not everyone played the previous BF games. A lot of new players got into the series with BF1. So their expectations of a BF launch aren't gonna be the same as someone like you or me who's played the games for more than a decade. So those people will definitely whine, understandably so.
Yeah, there was BF5, but that could have been an outlier
7:01 "I got an idea"
Dice: We got a bug for that!
It's a bit hard to swallow that description while at the same time full well knowing about all the legacy issues and people's complaints.
How do you unlock that
The Bolte is a pain in the arse to infantry. If i had my way, I would ban the bloody thing.
Are we just gonna ignore that missile at 1:25 ?? dayum son....
I noticed sometimes the Bolte rockets track... Lol (sometimes with SOFLAM, sometimes not)
Yet when aiming at infantry it almost never kills
Same thing with BF4.
@@troypowers750 Their effectiveness or tracking? (I had the smart rockets on the Cobra and they dint seem to auto target).
Speaking of 4, ONE thing 2042 got right was adding a button for F-35 VTOL... I still can't find a solid way (PS4) where you can get it go work. Typically I fly as low and slow as possible and cannot ever remember the VTOL activating while landing. Usually I'd have to hit something like drones on the range.
@@deralbtraumritter8573 effectiveness. Missiles meant for AA will never damage enemies but surprisingly they can destroy walls.
In a way they are similar to the LAW in BF4 in that they are auto-lock/magnetic/gravitate/track vehicles if they are within a certain radius of the reticle. That means they don't track infantry and I don't even think their damage can even be applied to infantry but I haven't confirmed that one and I haven't come across it yet during my playtime of the game. Anyways it only "tracks" vehicles and only does significant damage to transport vehicles like the LATV or Hovercraft ( you can one-volley destroy them ), they do maybe 1% damage to armor and a small chunk of damage to aircraft as it takes multiple volleys to destroy them with these missiles.
@@Ravic thanks!
Is there a way to tell I'd they're tracking / locked on? I can never tell. Once in awhile I can see them curve alittle, but here in your videos they curve more (and more than a bullet in Wanted).
I also can't confirm that missiles do damage to infantry.
I feel like it's the same (same coding?) as those STAFF shells. Sometimes they hit and kill/damage infantry, but 99% of the time they don't. With STAFF Shells it's like you have to guess the impact / trajectory, as visually STAFF shells are odd. If that makes sense :
MPAT/HEAT:
------->X
STAFF:
------->-------->X
STAFF (Appears) to hit one place but actually hit in another, further away. Almost like a railgun and the sabot rounds, being 2 Stage
Complaints or not, this game really does look visually amazing engine-wise. If they can improve the maps it will look stunning.
Sadly it is ruined for me because of specialists
6:30 He hit a tree, oh wait *explosion* yeah I'll take credit for that.
so lucky u still get to play, i cant play in my region since no one is playing
I have to admit that even though the Bolte is OP and there are too many of them, they are super fun roadkill machines and I will be sad when DICE does whatever ham-fisted thing they will do to nerf them in the 3.4 patch. I'd much rather that they leave the Bolte alone but move it to the armor category and move the MAV into a transport category to be shared with the LATV and Hovercraft. The Bolte would still be a legit option as it is so darn fun and we'd see more legitimate use of vehicles for transport and mobile spawn.
I don't know about moving the MAV to transport unless you plan on removing all those gunner/turret seats because when it's fully unlocked it can be devastating especially when anyone on the team can spawn on it. The moving the Bolte to armor category is a good idea or a way to help reduce them but also increase the availability of the other transport vehicles ( LATV and Hovercraft ).
@@Ravic I recall a BF2 clan called IMA who had a transport-only rental server. Just Vodniks and Hummers and infantry. Great fun. I was optimistic when I heard about Portal that we might see that possibility rise again in BF2042 but they really have not done much to make transport vehicles viable. Even with the feedback on map traversal they just want to move control points around. Oh well. I think as you say, if they watered down the MAV a bit and swapped categories with the Bolte the game would be in a better place overall.
5:24 - Ooooo, Ravic is disapointed!!!!
How!?
Yeah, Bolte missiles don’t seem to work anymore. No lock on, damage is absent.
Yeah they made changes at one point, buffed them at another point, broke them later, then nerfed them into the ground because they became an actual real counter to aircraft.
Ah, the M5C Bolte...a "transport" that has no passenger seats. Odd, that.
Technically that category is called "LIGHT" but I agree the Bolte belongs in the Armor category and the MAV belongs in Surface Transport with the LATV and Hovercraft.
In my opinion, I am surprised that you are still playing 2042 despite all that you have seen with 2042, ad nauseam. Yes, it completely makes sense how fun it is to play with friends with 2042, which would be my only basis for playing the game entirely. Now since people want to talk about the incorporation of adding a scoreboard in the new game, why did adding a scoreboard become a problem in 2021 when game developing generally is by far technologically advanced as opposed to a decade ago. I just don't understand why not having a scoreboard in 2042 for a 2021 game, became a problem of not already being integrated in 2042 in the beginning launch. There was literally no good reason for incorporating a scoreboard into 2042 to become such an unecessary issue in the first place when it should have been done in the beginning. I can understand why the new Battlefield consumer would be pissed. 4 years ago in 2018, they automatically had a scoreboard in Battlefield V when the game started, so there shouldn't be any excuses to today. I never played Battlefield V, so I don't know what issues may have persisted. On the other hand, my first Battlefield game was Battlefield Bad Company in summer of 2008 when my older brother showed me on the Xbox 360. The same engine for BFBC was just fine with the amount that you could do without being so limited for a 2008 game. In correlation to Battlefield 1, I just don't understand why you disagreed with or hated Battlefield 1 with, "significant changes to it that took away a lot of the sandbox nature that was still in previous Battlefield games." My only answer to your response which your response doesn't make a lot of sense would be, the destruction alone in Battlefield 1 had much more of a sandbox than 2042 when the game launched just based off of the unscripted destruction, and to do whatever you want in an unscripted manner just like every Battlefield game. What are you talking about when you say sandbox? Are you talking about the ability to have a sandbox gamemode like what 2042 did or what I just told you. Honestly, 2042 should not have major problematic issues like it did, instead of having the minor issues like Battlefield has always had. With what the game has presented, 2042 does not do it for me unless I only play with friends. The last great Battlefield game in my opinion was Battlefield 4 with modern gameplay combat, and Battlefield 1 for old historical based gameplay combat.
I don't know why people make that comment about destruction in BF2042, there is still a lot of destruction it's just different. Just like how destruction in BFV was different from BF1 and destruction was different from BF4 compared to BF3. They change destruction to fit the overall design and gameplay loop the game is based on. You can destroy a lot of walls and buildings in BF2042 so I don't know why people say there isn't any. I can drive straight through those building on the D flag on Hourglass. The last Battlefield game you could play alone and consistently have fun was BF3, after that changes were made to the Battlefield titles that followed that made it difficult to enjoy that playstyle and required friends or a group of players you could always play with as a squad, otherwise you were hindered so much whether it was because of class balanced, infantry vs vehicle balance, map design or any number of things. BF1 didn't feel historical at all, it felt like what Hollywood ( movies and tv shows ) thinks WW1 was like. The suppression in BF1 alone makes it one of the worst Battlefield titles, but of course that is personal opinion, remember I'm not the target audience, the casual console player was the target audience for BF1.
This appears to be very balanced
hows the preformance?
Still the same, unless you've upgraded hardware recently it's going to be rough.
@@Ravic for me I have an rtx 3080 ti, i9 9900k and it does not run very well.
is this game worth buying yet?
The worst part is you make so many other people log on and do exactly this lol makes sense why I'm getting hit with bolte missiles all the time now
Brasil 🇧🇷 Love you Ravic
Are those tanks or race cars?
Yes.
are you still enjoying this game Ravic? are the servers populated or sparse ?
Depends on the region. Overall it's hard to gauge and any conclusions I come to would be derived from anecdotal evidence. Yes I still enjoy the game especially when I play it with friends.
I know your question is for Ravic but I am US East and do not have trouble getting 128 player Breakthrough games. Sometimes they start with some bots but it takes only a couple of minutes before those slots are filled by players. I hope that DICE makes a move to retain players by releasing new content soon, though.
Do you think them changing the flag positions closer together will make a difference, rather than accepting 128 players was probably a bad idea? And this has gotta impact new map development given they may have to redesign what they've already got right?
Given the tight resource balance between improving the game and adding new content, honestly suprised some of the larger portal maps aren't just being dropped into the main conquest playlist to hold everyone over while they fix shit.
There are probably a few reasons why they haven't brought over maps from Portal, a separate team manages and develops content for it so there might be some asset conflicts in bring them over to or into the base game. Or the file space allocation is already meant to be filled by content being created for the Seasons we are supposed to eventually have. Or maybe they are concerned it will mess up the game's identity if they don't keep it separated. I'm not saying they shouldn't I just wouldn't be surprised if there were legitimate reasons why they haven't. Moving flag positions closer together would be counter to their design of the other maps and the game itself. They specifically mentioned they designed it to be spaced out clustered fights. Honestly I don't think they are that big or don't feel that big with fast you can sprint in the game, it's maybe thirty seconds between major areas and people tend to get easily distracted so shooting at something on the way so it "feels" bigger than it really is. It's not really a running simulator unless for some reason a person decides to go way out of the way to flank. When the 128 players thing was initially rumored I thought it was a bad idea because I didn't think the technology ( hardware/software ) existed for that to be fluid and not have issues, before the game launched I gave them the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe they came up with some magical fix for it to work. Turns out they sacrificed a lot of things in order to make it barely okay ( still constant rubber-banding in the background ) like spectator, tickrate and a few other things. I don't think it was worth the trade/sacrifice and it's fine if they want to go to slightly smaller maps with 64 players but it's pointless if they don't increase the tickrate at the same time.
@@Ravic Thanks for the detailed reply, it does seem like they're accommodating the vocal people as usual by change in tack on the design. The feedback post example dice showed for kaleidoscope seemed to pretty much make the top half of the map irrelevant, even moving the uncaps so both are in the southern corners, so for other maps like renewal who knows what they're planning and how much map space will go to waste.
@@PurveyorOfEmetophili If you are talking about the prototype changes they showed for Conquest Kaleidoscope those changes are a bad idea or mistake in a lot of ways but the main one is moving the RU spawn to the bottom right next to the skyscrapers that easily give access to the rest of the map as well as give cover and block line of sight on any lock-ons whether in a ground or air vehicle. The opposing side doesn't have the same amount of cover and if they don't populate that main road at the bottom with a bunch of junk like they did Orbital's ramp it's going to allow tanks, etc. to shoot into each other's main spawn. Hopefully they just posted it as a distraction for the community because honestly Conquest Kaleidoscope isn't that bad it's like 20-30 second run to any flag sometimes less, air vehicles tend to be the bigger problem on that map. I'd rather see changes to Manifest.
@@Ravic I hope you're right about that, potentially it could go either way, but bringing everyone closer together can't be good for performance either given that's more players on average inside the higher tickrate "bubble" right? And like you say the game isn't designed around that anyway.
Just as long as we don't see another CTE situation for testing it. I didn't feel like the bf4 one was particularly helpful since it seemed to be populated mostly by sweatlords intent on removing fun from the game.
when we gonna have a chat reacts?
Hey guys,
I would like to bring attention to a great gameplay feature of Battlefiled 2042 that many players seem to miss out.
I'm talking about the Portal Battlefiled 1942 remake. It is the Battlefield game we have all wanted for years: It features great maps that are well designed and offer plenty of cover in all the right places. On top of that, it has terrific graphics that are quite different from the main game (they're at least as good as BF1's). Gunplay is excellent and feels satisfying, as health regeneration is turned off and weapons have a high damage output (assault rifle: 3 shots at maximum range).
This leads to much more tactical gameplay than in the main game, as every bullet counts. This is something that long-time Battlefiled fans will especially appreciate.
Also, the destruction in this game is very detailed and feels very realistic (practically everything can be destroyed, even tall buildings, such as a church, located on a map).
All of the aforementioned points combined result in an extremely immersive experience that feels like a real Battlefield game and is dramatically different from the main game.
You get the feeling that this is a completely different game from the main game, as so much love and detail has been put into these worlds (probably by a different team that wasn't involved in the development of the main game).
Unfortunately, the content is limited (2 maps and about 15 weapons), but it feels like a real Battlefield game and is a lot of fun to play.
I would be very pleased if dice would develop this over time into a full-fledged standalone game with more maps and weapons.
Right now the game is on the 'featured' list in the portal, so I would recommend you to try it out (also enjoyable on the last generation).
Let's add aimbot 1000rpm rockets, what could go wrong?
Yeah, well, only 5 people playing the game on peak hours is saying a lot.
I Find this game better than Bf 1 and 5 but lots of cathing up to meet level of Legendary Bf 3 and 4. or may be I am wrong cause I seen people doing crazy stunt kills with grapple rope to kill a Little bird in midair.
bcs hovercraft can climb and latv4 is fast

Good god, stuff in this game are either Uther garbage or completely broken. What the heck happen to the simple balanced act of game alike BF4?
Uh there was never any kind of "simple balance act" in BF4. Stuff was broken, buffed, nerfed throughout the game's lifespan. It's like that for every Battlefield title.
Marco. :3
In game voice are meant to be badass but is just annoying. They made the game seem like nothing really matters like war is cool and killing and dying is nothing. This is basically BF with a NFS atmosphere.
This battlefield game is truly not as good as any of the others

I guess you can have some fun if you don't think about it as a real Battlefield game and do stupid shit like here where a weird buggy can spam mines to instakill tanks or other vehicles and also kill aircraft because of stupid rockets.
Doesn't change the fact that the game is still bleeding players and will be almost dead before it's first real content update lmao. And that it's a disgusting, useless piece of trash of a game.

Same thing happened on PC for BF1 and BFV.
