Yeah just did a few rounds with it. Does barely any damage and a 20 round clip? No way
AK-24 feels real good after the update. And now that I can compete with hovercrafts, bringing the MP5 feels good again too. Really liking this update.
Lol that video really shows how fucking terrible it is tbh, the TTK is horrendous, literally ever clip there would have been far more effective with an SMG.
AK-24 is so much better already.
Looking forward to levelling up the next weapon I can handle just to see it getting nerfed ...
Yeah the gunplay still feels kinda whack to me.
I think I'll come back to this game in about 2 months after it gets the December update and one or two more updates under its belt. I don't hate it, but I am presently kinda disappointed at the current state of things.

Can't figure out how to make a Team Gun Master in Portal in 10 minutes. DICE is a joke.
But seriously, can't wait to see the template for that as the official DICE servers would often have the same weapon progression in the mode and the random ones were such a fun way to switch it up because rockets would come into play and a lot of the maps used in BF4 had some destruction but with standard guns would hardly be touched. People just railgunning wildly trying to progress really changed the landscape.

MP9 is a beast. So many reversals on people. Also I forgot how much I missed flying helos, it's too damn fun.
A whole bunch of them, AK, M4A3, The default SMG, LCMG etc. A lot of them feel the same. I still have to really pull my mouse down to counter the recoil/bloom compared to other games. I'm no stranger to having to compensate stuff like that but in this game it's really bad.
For any sceptic out there just try to tap-fire with the AK. That's a huge difference right there.
They're definitely not the same although there could always be a bug. Even r/bf2042 is celebrating the weapon changes.

it's awful compared to BF V
You can literally play 1-2 games against bots and unlock all attachments for one gun. You get like 300-400 kills for one match.
Oh they are allowing you to unlock attachments again in solo? I got to do this later.
There is massive difference for weapons. There is still recoil you need to handle ofc. But now you can actually hit people with AR and LMG. And there is also damage drop for distance.
Also LMGs have very minimal recoil while prone. Use it and go prone while shooting and you can just spray tight spots and rack up kills.

Just played a few rounds with crossplay on because some of my friends was on PC... im never playing again lol. Playing this againts PC players are so bad. God helicopters everywhere and those long range fights are impossible againts a good pc player. Back to PS only lobbies, much better experience
Yes. XP is capped and so is weapon SKINS kills. You get something like 10k exp and then it is capped. But you can very easily unlock attachments.
Discardet is best map imho.

The fact its not input based is really a bizarre choice. Hopefully this is something addressed down the road.
So far it's not up there with BF1 or BF4, but yeah it's much better than BFV for me. BFV was never fun for me no matter how many times I tried to stick with it. It never had an identity and always seemed so hallow.
There's certainly moments of frustration with 2042 but that's been the case with every BF since 1942. BF moments are back in a big way though with 2042 which I think was one of my main issues with BFV.
Time will tell but there's potential here.
Yeah, I am not gonna do that. It's part of the motivation to the play the actual game.
AK-24 is great. Already unlocked a good bunch of attachments that make it very versatile on both range and melee. Feels so much better than the SFAR for me.
AK-24 feels super good to me after unlocking the grip and long gun barrel. I get what you mean because I have the same feeling with some weapons.
It's been my zone out after work activity for the past few days and I'm enjoying it. You unlock a ton and can just turn your brain off. So much less frustrating than grinding out attachments on Metro
BTW does anyone feel like there needs to be some more differentiation with the barrel attachments? Feels like compensators and long barrels are by far the best choice.
imo this is ultimate farm for gun attachments. 400 to 500 kills per round so guaranteed to max out skin progression + get all attachments in one round of breakthrough for a gun.
Second picture shows pipe spot, you get there by taking elevators on left and on top taking immediate left to scoot around. AI can't see you from beneath there so they never fire back, easy farm.
Unless you are using SKV, then you want short barrel for maximum firerate memes. That thing doesn't need added any bullet velocity.
But yeah, attachment selection is surprisingly barren as 50% are just dupes.
I actually don't mind there being some dupes, I always get annoyed when I have to use an uglier attachment to get best performance so I don't mind having choice, just wish we could remove stuff from the Plus Menu so it doesn't get as cluttered or has extra slots. The muzzle breaks also don't seem particularly effective either.
I don't remember for what guns but I'm pretty sure I saw some attachments that are supposed to reduce vertical recoil actually increase vertical recoil.
LOL yeah probably.
I'm also a bit skeptical of the grips that say they negatively impact aiming while stationary. I can tell there's a decent improvement while moving and seems to be no negative change while still whereas the ones that say they improve aiming while stationary don't seem to do much of anything.
Yeah it's weird when I finally used headphones. Same with issue in Halo too for some reason. No idea what's happening in these games lol
The minimap is also too small for being shown on it to be much of an issue. Better to just spec for accuracy so you can efficiently take enemies down.

lmao this is great. I really need to put in more time as Sundance, they're one of my least played specialists atm.
Don't know what to tell you other than yes, it's definitely been fixed.
Almost 60 hours of playtime and haven't been placed nr. 1 with my squad even once. Ironic really since I'm always keeping close to my squad mates and marking objectives.
Squad play like marking objectives to attack doesn't matter. All of you need to fly off the handle at individual level.
I just cant find the aiming feeling correctly in this game. In all previous BF games all i needed was put it on my preffered senstivity and some button changes and i was good for the whole lifespan of the game. With BF2042 i am looking in the settins, testing things and watching YT vids. Wich shows something is off really that i need to do that.
Damn thats insane. Looks like the server cant handle all the data when alot of stuff is happening and hitreg doesnt come through also.
jeej 128 players..
Bloody hell the bipod on LCMG is bugged. You have to switch it off then back on in order for it to work properly. Sigh...
Need to come up with some silly meta loadouts then to try to up these poor squad stats I'm seeing.

I'm surprised to see BFV called shallow by comparison. 2042 is utterly brain-dead for the most part. You spawn, chuck your two prox sensors, chuck your two Sundance anti-armor that will seek whatever is around, then hunt down icons on your minimap. If armor is nearby, use an M5 instead before hunting down minimap icons.
You're always spotted half a dozen ways so there's no real point in stealth, flanking, or strategy. You're going to die if someone remotely competent is nearby either way. It's not like you can use the audio to your advantage because footstep audio is weird and vehicles are silent for some reason.
You're basically guaranteed 25 kills and 25 assists a game of conquest without really having to pay any attention.
The sandbox has more variety in the abstract, but most of it is functionally useless in practice. There's reasons you never see Raos. Every game is basically decided entirely by which team spams vehicles more aggressively so you're limited to the extent you can really sway anything, even with aggressive objective play.
great change!They're definitely not the same although there could always be a bug. Even r/bf2042 is celebrating the weapon changes.

I did this on my first day, it's also pretty much RNG -- depends on the other players
