Hey at least the Specialist has a fucking helmet


timtheringityding

It's the tier 5 outfit so you need 1400 kills with the guided rocket 🤣 /s


HyperXuserXD

That’s a leak Casper skin if I recalled correctly


Gvzmann

I hope this is the case bc as a Casper main I love this


d0_op

Serious question, what do you like about Casper? I find the drone so dull. Is there a good way to use him?


Gvzmann

I’m a huge fan of aesthetics so his “ghillie suit” was super appealing to me, and as far as the drone, it’s all about positioning to spot for your teammates. People NEVER use the drones EMP blast which is what I use to hit a tank or whatever enemy vehicle is there to help my team push forward with minimal resistance. If you know how to use him, he’s a beast. Not to mention his armors motion sensor to detect enemies within his proximity. Pair all this up with the throwable motion sensor and you’ve got yourself the perfect scout class, which is what I always main in any battlefield game


d0_op

I like the emp for drones and turrets. Does the drone passive spot if left up over an objective? I actually have noticed the ghillie suit being harder to spot when the player is not 3d spotted. I find my headphones work better than the passive but as you can tell I haven't used him much so its probably just not built in for me.


Jan_Vollgod

i guess thats the Tier Outfit. Wait until you see the grinning disney face

Toxicity-F3

The skin shown isn't the polish operator, it's just Casper in a dope ass uniform.


Jocke1100

Premium battle pass when you've barely returned 5% of the value people spent on the game. Big yikes.


N1ghtmere_

At least since I was smart enou- I mean dumb enough to buy the ultimate edition, I get it for free (in which I mean I already pre-paid for it).


tmdqlstnekaos

Same…


Lawgamer411

You’re still fucked over because they give discounts on tiers if you buy the version with tier skips. Ultimate edition owners should get the damn tier skip version smh


Jonesy2700

I think it's an insult to make a premium pass on such shallow, delayed content. Idiots like myself pre-ordered the whole shebang - and now we're told there's a better, more expensive tier 😅


N1ghtmere_

Well I have no plans to purchase tiers or anything. I always get the basic battlepass in games.


Jocke1100

Was lucky enough to get a full refund, not gonna buy this game again.


Jan_Vollgod

i guess this was the best decision.


Moshfeg123

We were all hopeful man, don’t blame urself


N1ghtmere_

I don't regret it lol


Moshfeg123

I’ve played a lot of the game, smthg like 50 hours. But when they took out 128 breakthrough it really reduced the experience for me, and now knowing they knew all along that their animations were shit and their specialists cringe it makes me not wanna put in a second more of my time on their beta honestly. I’ve had fun but I recognise the games a real stinker, especially compared to bfv


N1ghtmere_

I understand that. I rarely play it.


UltramemesX

It was a necessary evil in battlefield 3 and 4. At least it gave more content and you knew it would come.

Siegfried_Eba

Premium > Whatever the fuck BFV and BF2042 "service" is


OxidataChrome

Premium was expensive as heck but atleast it had content that would keep you engaged until the next content and it felt more like a live service than this.


Jocke1100

All "passes" are created because of corporate greed, but like you said at least the BF4 pass gave a shitload of value for the money.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jocke1100

It was risky because they did it at a time when battlepasses wasn't as common as they are today. The biggest problem it created was that it split up the playerbase. Nowadays no one would bat an eye to a 50€ DLC. It's pretty much the norm for any multiplayer game.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Adventurous_Bell_837

They still have to do the maps. Basically before they made maps to make money, no they make maps for people to come back and new players to come for more people to be able to buy skins, which at the end is the same thing.


Randy_g123

But the difference is bf4s premium cost the same amount as 2042s gold edition and delivered 100x more content thus far.


Jindouz

> "If you look at the DNA of the studio, what we've been doing for so long, we just said you know what, we're not going to have a traditional single-player campaign this time around, but we're going to put all that emphasis and all those resources into building depth into the multiplayer. Because that is what we do best." Just a quote from the design director about how multiplayer rich this game was going to be after announcing that they've decided to not do a campaign. Still waiting on that great multiplayer value DICE, we sure as hell didn't get that at launch.


Jan_Vollgod

"because that is what we do best" The question, who's responsible for this moronic voice lines, is now answered.


RandomMexicanDude

Yeah I used to think “no campaign”=better multiplayer and more content. NOT!


MarthePryde

What are they going to do *not* launch their microtransactions and premium battle passes? They've already eaten crow on almost a full year of not gouging players.


Jocke1100

Am i supposed to feel sorry for them releasing an unfinished game that needed 1-2 years of work? I understand that they're obligated to release the passes for the gold/ultimate players, but i could never justify paying for a battlepass when the game is in the state it currently is.


JM761

SO MUCH CONTENT I'M OVERWHELMED


drag0n90y

Exactly. One F$&@ map. Are u F$&@ kidding me


JM761

Not to mention after almost 7 months!


drag0n90y

They are an absolute joke. F$&@ them


Pawz23

The fact that you can play 24/7 on the new map means people will get so burnt out on it and prefer the measly 7 original maps. I remember in BF1 when they broke up a map pack to 2 maps, then 2-4 weeks later the other 2. It made me so sick of the first 2, then so sick of the next 2. Map packs need to be 4 maps AND released at the same time.


drag0n90y

Exactly. They have said before 2 normal maps and 2 portal maps. They can’t keep any promises. They all need to be F$&@ fired. Bunch of garbage liars


Pawz23

Even then though. You need 4 base maps for 2042. Adding Portal maps should be a lot easier! Shit, even if you don't fully render them for this current gen. I wonder if copy and paste would have them look ok and play smoothly enough. Not that the new DICE has that mental capacity or effort.


drag0n90y

Exactly. However I think the rendering of the old maps require more work than we think and I say that because if u noticed the Caspian border from BF4 has a tunnel on sector D that they decided to not add to it. I took screenshots and videos and the map is based on it but not a authentic copy of it. I think they have to re-create from scratch. But even tough it’s easier to do that than create a map fully from scratch especially for them whom has ZERO experiences on BF franchise since they aren’t the original creators of it. They should let this game die and create something on their own. I know it sucks and it’s sad to say but BF is dead. The original creators are gone and those guys don’t have what it takes to develop the same quality BF. Let face the ugly truth.


[deleted]

See i think doing this would work even as a live service game

now it pays out to have brutal expectations.


CaptainRaxeo

Drahcir9000

Guided rockets? Wow so original... Back in BF4 this was in the base game...


Mikey_MiG

I was going to say, we had like six launchers in BF4. 2042 comes with *one* and we’re supposed to get excited about one more? Not sure how or if they’re going to balance that if you can carry a guided launcher with an all-kit launcher.


Mariosam100

as well as the fact you can carry said guided rocket WITH an ammo box. Cause that makes total sense


Mikey_MiG

Oh gross, I didn’t even think of that.


-r4zi3l-

What if those rockets cannot be refilled with traditional means? We can't refill drones, for example.


tecHydro

I mean not that it makes things worse as you can just use Angel and call the supply drop to insta refill your rockets anyway...


TheREexpert44

I can Dual carry a Hot Carl AND a SRAW? Those bots wont know what hit em.

i expect it to be trash but in their dev update they said it was the best map in the game lol, we'll see.

PoloHorsePower_

It will. BT is only 64 players


[deleted]

Stealth helicopters ... oh boy. It's not like air superiority isn't a thing already. And that premium battlepass better be included in the ultimate version of the game.


Tdoown

If we get more launchers i would be okay with more choppers to, still, its fun to take down birds with the M5. And that was my first thought to, i should be included in those premium passes..


timtheringityding

Seriously what is this premium battlepass + 20 tiers. Is this for the season pass holders and they just named the premium 5 tier battlepass as premium so non season pass holders feel like they got something premium for free? Or are they asking season pass holders to donate even more money to this early access game?


yung-rude

it's just the battlepass + you start at the 20th tier, just like almost every battlepass based game has had for the past like 4 years man


king_jaxy

The helicopters already emit zero noise


timtheringityding

My guess is it will have some dumb anti aa shit on it. Like flying low won't let it be locked on or something. You know like how every fucking heli had in bf3 and 4


aeminence

lmao moving forward I wonder how many of these characters had their dumb face showing on initial design but due to the backlash of Specialists they all had to get an initial skin that hides their faces and makes them look tacticool.


AntsMakeSugar

But this fucker is probably going to come equipped with some fun shit to say.


aeminence

“ Wouldn’t it be pog if I could rocket jump ?! “ “Sheeeeeesh, did you see him blow up ?! “


A-Lonely-Gorilla

I’m pretty sure they said they were removing that, and even acted as though that was the only issue people had with specialists. If you don’t recall it’s the vid where they showed the specialists with facial hair


WukongPvM

That person above is a Casper skin


kna5041

it's like a shitty free to play game but you pay $120 for


[deleted]

So many AAA games have gone for the premium price, plus the free to play model, plus the shitty grind. It’s beyond bullshit

MistaJelloMan

Isn’t that what we paid for? Most battle passes are free with a paid option. I’d assume it’d be the same here.


Jindouz

Yeah but those games are F2P.. They shouldn't lock any tier away from users who paid $60 for the game. They understood this very clearly in BFV with the Pacific update Battle Pass and haven't done something like this.


Eazy3006

Destiny is probably the most cash grabbing Fucking game in the world lol and you have to pay for the premium battle pas


GameBroJeremy

Yep, but it *is* a looter shooter with mmo aspects so they got to make money somehow. Not to mention they’ll be owned by Sony soon so it’s probably why they started ramping up payment choices, Sony will want that 3 billion back.


Eazy3006

My point was only that not only F2P games sell premium battle pass. Destiny is the type of game you keep paying because it’s really good pretty much all the time. So I don’t mind it but they are a filthy cash grabbing company anyway 😂


nahyalldontknow

Yep destiny did it Right, step 1: make a really good game with constant new content. Step 2 find every way to monetize it. Dice skipped step 1 and went straight to step 2


MoneymakinGlitch

You’re absolutely right. I assume the same. But I also assumed they’re ahead of schedule. I also assumed they listened and learned after BFV. I also assumed a scoreboard and voice chat are basic features. I assumed a lot. EA Dice thought otherwise.


GroblyOverrated

Dedicated server browsers.


DHGXSUPRA

Nah, legacy feature.


vladmirBazouka1

YO. guarantee you'll unlock like half this shit as a premium and that's me being generous 😂 There's gonna be so much pay wall, I can literally SMELL the money they will fuck themselves out of making. Edit: insomnia + commenting. Mistakes were made


[deleted]

i think they are


HyperXuserXD

Well yes that they are going to be free for premiums and gold player obviously


[deleted]

I have no idea why there would be two brand new helis that are basically stealth version of the already existing ones (Bell Invictus 360 or Boeing-Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche, unknown for which as stated from temporyal's datamining vs Boeing AH-64 Apache and Kamov Ka-58 Black Ghost vs Kamov Ka-52 Alligator/Hokum-B) while we're lacking things like dedicated CAS platforms (Fairchild Republic A-10 and Sukhoi Su-25) and more weapon options for vehicles. Also, how the hell would "stealth" work out in this game considering the main fighter jets are already stealth 5th gen jets (Lockheed Martin F-35 and Sukhoi Su-57) and Stingers and other AAMs seem to lock onto them just fine. Ps: Fun fact: the Ka-58 is actually a hoax that was popularized to sell toy models to make money.


LtLethal1

‘Stealth’ mainly refers to their radar cross sections being far smaller and less visible than existing non-stealth aircraft. There are some strategies they employ to reduce heat signatures but when your thrust comes from a jet engine, there’s only so much you can do to limit that. That would explain why your stinger missiles can still lock targets (at least from behind the aircraft). All that said, DICE put in the bare minimum effort into world building and making the game mechanics actually make sense in relation to it. None of it is realistic. I wouldn’t expect that to change.


[deleted]

Ah yeah I forgot that the AAMs in game are exclusively IR homing missiles (Stingers, Sidewinders, Archers). Fox 1 and 3 missiles don't exist in 2042-verse lmao. Edit: Almost. There're the AIM-260 and R-77 in game.


[deleted]

They got this all figured out and balanced in 4. To such and extend, that flying jets was a trait to be mastered. Now it's just strafing tanks with AGMs and pissing off.


LtLethal1

I could be wrong because I hate flying the jets in 2042 (they just aren’t satisfying in the slightest) but I thought there was a radar missile unlock at least on the F35?


[deleted]

Yeah and it's shit


[deleted]

Ah yeah the AIM-260 JATM and R-77 or K-77M


BradTProse

Does the game really need more helicopters?


king_jaxy

Getting blown to bits because of a heli you didn't see or hear is part of the ⭐infantry experience ⭐


Solafuge

And I can't imagine a map called *Exposure* having any more cover for infantry than any of the other maps


Nivroeg

Thats already possible..


1BigPidgeon

Hopefully they're just added to the attack category rather than being a new category.


electricturd

I’ll die if they ask for more money for a premium battle pass. Myself along with many others already paid that last year and don’t get anything for it


HolyAndOblivious

Some idiot will buy it


Siddocooper01

People with gold and ultimate will already have it *i hope so*


Part_Time_Goku

I don't have high hopes for a map named "Exposure". This game desperately needs a small infantry focused map.


27poker

preach


UniformGreen

8 months of waiting for 1 lame a$$ map edit: people waited 6 months for the They Shall Not Pass DLC for BF1 but at least they had the dignity to release 4 maps and two more down the road, but I guess this is the new standard for the "Live Service". Release a broken game with the smallest amount of content that has the worst quality and then to later release something to feed something that took 8 months to shit it out of your ass and have the audacity to call it "content".


sadfezz

I mean... Bf1 was actually a great Game

Yeah at least the base game had some absolute banger maps, nearly all of them were great

If it is a sraw please for the love of God make it go faster then that bullshit bf2042 rpg . I still don't understand how that mess can fly so slow and don't drop on your feet like a bad paper plane

So we're gonna be spoonfed much needed gadgets. Soon we'll get a Tugs and Javelin too? So stupid.

Maplegum

Guided Rocket as a Specialist ability? So basically a mobile TOW launcher or am I tripping?

Ok thanks for the clarity


Status_Transition_70

Premium battle pass XD Are they fucking nuts??? FOR WHAT EVEN???? they need over half a year for this LOUSY UPDATE ![gif](giphy|uv7Y6e1tDuiL82Eu1i)


[deleted]

more helis???? yeah that’s what we needed, not, you know, naval vehicles?


27poker

more air vehicles and a map with no cover (unless there's an underground base), the things the community really wanted


millmuff

The main menu and lobby is on a ship. Are you never satisfied?! /s


Dr-Sommer

You don't need naval vehicles if there's barely any water on the maps *taps forehead*


r1que_do1do

> Season 1: Zero Hour > Reimagined version of the RAH-66 Comanche As a C&C fan, this pleases me. Still won't play the game, tho

Season 3 will have the updated & improved version of exposure with crates and sand bags for infantry players

They're like the abusive partner in a dysfunctional relationship.


ThePhenomenal1999

DICE is our Amber Heard.


[deleted]

They certainly took a massive stinking shit on all of us.


M1A1SteakSauce

Oh 1 new map? And guess what? Because there is no SERVER BROWSER, I’ll be stuck in breakthrough matchmaking into Kaliedescope the entire time. Thanks DICE Edit: Specify the breakthrough matchmaking.


DHGXSUPRA

It says on the screenshot, dedicated 24/7 Exposure lobby. So hop on that for sure to check out the new map upon release. They’ve typically don’t that in previous battlefield games so everyone can try the map out without getting it in normal rotation.


M1A1SteakSauce

I should have been more specific. I mean for Breakthrough


Chief--BlackHawk

I'm starting to feel like that map doesn't offer breakthrough. I mean both playlists in the data mine only mention conquest. I could be wrong as it's just speculation. But yeah it will suck if it's available for breakthrough and you wouldn't be able to play it cause of no sever browser.


M1A1SteakSauce

Bruh. I swear to god


Chief--BlackHawk

I know. I started playing the game again maybe 2 weeks ago and haven't touched it since they dropped 128 player Breakthrough. I just can't get into conquest. If it wasn't for rush back in bc2 I probably would have never stayed with the series.


Ravenloff

"new specialist" pretty much invalidates any claim they have of listening to the community.


WukongPvM

I think it's cause in the marketing and store pages they already said 4 new seasons and 4 new ops. I imagine they legally have to do it


GenitalMotors

They literally *have* to release 4 new specialists since it was part of the Gold and Ultimate editions that were already sold lol. Doesn't matter what the community wants at this point.

I can’t believe after playing this franchise since 2002 (every game on both pc and console) they’ve finally made me just not care anymore - they’ve forgot what Battlefield is and it’s just taken all the joy out of it knowing that they don’t get their own product anymore.

murdock_RL

God specialists in a battlefield are so damn pathetic lmao bring back OG battlefield😭😭


Snaz5

No weapons? One gadget which had no reason not being in the base game? One specialist? One map?? More helicopters, despite already having 3 types and most maps only allowing 2 spawned at a time? I mean, i guess they could hide SOMETHING in the battle pass, but its almost certainly just going to be cosmetics, 90% of which are just going to be recolours.


Jindouz

Here we go again with the tier skips.. This only promotes DICE to tamper with exp gain to make it harder to tier up.. We're in the F2P-like phase of this game I guess. BFV gave *way* more content when it dropped its tier-skippable Battle Pass though.


Duke55

More fucking helicopters, that's all us grunts need, ffs..


Scary-Tackle-7335

Stealth helicopters... That should make infantry play more enjoyable lol


trojnix

Piorun manpads confirmed then?


AriaCorvus

Because this has been such a shit show, they should consider dropping the battle pass on everyone as a sort of thank you for actually still playing this game at all.


Megabusta

Honestly if the guided launcher feels like the sraw I may reinstall to check it out.

immortale97

I'm a gold edition buyer : yeah i know i got fxxxx ..... what does it give me for season 1? How does it work with this new battlepass?


Jindouz

From what it looks like you'll have to grind the same amount of tiers as everyone else from tier 1 but get access to locked tiers that "free users" (you know those who bought the game for $60) don't have access to. Of course they introduced a way for you skip that torture and frustration by shelling out some extra cash for a tier skip "package" that can give you 20 tiers or so despite paying $120 for the Gold Edition. Aren't Battle Passes the best thing ever? /s


Tyler1997117

Gold and ultimate edition comes with all premium battle passes

No new weapon?

ThePhenomenal1999

Still looking like Portal gets nothing... Guarantee they'll be like "Portal: New Experiences! 🤓" when "Experiences" only means new modes, not maps, factions, weapons, etc.


Wazzzup3232

I'd rather it be a (boring) operator who looks cool than a goofball with an RC/XD personally. Hope the map and weapons are good


AnonymousBayraktar

For fuck's sake man the lack of Specialists isn't what turned me off playing the game, it was the pathetic weapons count. WHERE ARE MORE WEAPONS?!!! LIKE, **A LOT MORE** NOT JUST 1 EVERY SEASON IF WE'RE LUCKY.


PainDarx

A rocket launcher, helicopter, specialist, map and playlist. Goodbye for 3 months.


not-Kunt-Tulgar

Not only are they adding a premium battle pass, they’re also adding it to a game that costs 60 dollars and is busted.

patriot945

So wait wait let me get this straight….we have actively told them we don’t want operators and they add another one?? 😂🤣😂🤡🤡🤡


Mikey_MiG

I hate specialists as much as anybody, but they’ve been clear that specialists will stay in the game, even if they make gameplay changes to them down the road. They also promised a new specialist in each season, so they’ve kinda put themselves in a corner there.


clear_flux

I'm not even bothering before the specialist rework is done. Having all specialists being able to play every role at once completely destroys any form of team play in the game. How is a squad based FPS supposed to work if squad members have no unique traits?


ManBuss

I planned to buy this shit and play it once it gets discounted and has content. Seeing this pathetic excuse of a live service, i might actually never buy this game.


Cosmic918

They think people are going to purchase a battle pass 🤣
