Hit registration and Battlefield franchise.
I wonder are my only one suffering bad hit registration in BF2042? ( compared to other games). I've been gaming since castle wolfenstein / Original doom and own about all BF titles. I have decent rig ( 7800X3D, rtx 4070 ( overclocked) with loads of fast memory, fast ssd. I play using low latency fiber conn. Back in the days battlefield games were fun to play. Now in many of the "lobbies/games" you join hit registration is not in level one can expect in year 2025. When i say bad hit registration; i mean if i shoot with aimed gun into certain position, players can run through the bullet path without getting any hits and they just one shot kill players. Their characted does not even show that they are pointing a gun at you. In many cases you get shot meters after you have run behind corner. Your body can be recovered up to 10 meters behind 90 degrees corner. Or if you duck down you get still hit one second after beeing in cover for sure. I wonder do developers realise, that gunplay is THE most important aspect when developing fps games? I guess they dont! Main points in this franchise has been around "flying squirrols" and "low-iq" character lines and charms & cosmetics nobody asked. I dont even mention cheaters, because back in BF5 era my account got banned for a years from this forum complaining about huge number of cheaters in almost every round.Which Tier 1 items are you working on?
Hi there, players! 🙌 Unlocking a Tier 1 skin for a Specialist, Vehicle or Gun is of course quite an achievement. An achievement that should be shared and celebrated! That is why we made this thread, so that we can share and celebrate these great achievements with each other, and so that we can share tips & tricks for unlocking the Tier 1 skins as optimally as possible! For example, Tips & Tricks can be about the best Game Modes, Maps and/or ways of playing to make the best possible progress! Good work on those Tier 1 skins, @Its_Travis_199, @NexonXG, @EA_Atic, @ElliotLH, @Chytrooki, @TTZ_Dipsy! 🥳 Well done! So, share those Tier 1 skin unlocks and celebrate those achievements! 🙌 Good luck out there on the Battlefield, No-Pats!Reduce the number of players needed to start a round
With the Player Base rapidly shrinking I think it is even more important now that they reduce the number of players needed to start a round. I notice that they actually increased the number of players needed to start World Tour (Official Portal Mode). It was always a one player start (like most of the OPM's) but they raised it to 4 which seems strange. How do you guys feel, would you be happy with one player starts in all modes. ?
Allow FULL XP with DEFAULT AI in Portal, stop this Moderate XP restriction.
I noticed "Portal Discussions" has now merged with "General Discussions" and so now, I am once again requesting that DEFAULT AI in Portal allows FULL XP for the server experience. There's no reason for it not to allow FULL XP if the Portal experience is Vanilla without any modifications. And now that 2042 is nearing twilight, it only makes sense that this change be made for the longevity of Vanilla Portal servers. Here's a post by me from 2022 requesting this change then too: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Enable-FULL-XP-for-AI-Bots-in-Portal/m-p/12073930/highlight/true#M193800
I am grateful about the AN-94 in 2042 but...
Why so late? Me and others have been asking it for years. It seems to have been added to BF4 and 2042 so late that I have already lost most of my drive to play the respective games. It will definitely motivate me to do some 2042 again, but geez, next time do not wait 2 years to implement a requested gun.
A List of Suggestions to Make Battlefield the Best it Can be
Dear EA and the Battlefield Team (DICE), I want to start by saying that I believe in your potential. You've created the best FPS franchise experiences in gaming history, and I know you have the capability to do it again. Despite what people say, I don't believe that you are a company that makes games fail, I think you can prove those people wrong. Spore is a great example as a successful game. I'd like to offer some friendly suggestions and ideas that could elevate Battlefield 2042 to its true potential while still keeping its unique identity. Through the past, many players felt that returning to the original soldier class system and repurposing the specialists would make the game feel like a proper Battlefield game. The Class System is one thing that made Battlefield stand out from other FPS games. It not only was a special feature, but it was the foundation of its identity The New Approach to Specialists: I never thought specialists were a bad idea to be honest, I think they were just implemented in the game the wrong way. To put in perspective, Battlefield always maintained itself with its class-based systems, its class nameless soldiers, and I believe Battlefield 2042's specialists can coexist with the class soldiers rather than replace them completely. What I mean is that specialists don't need to be removed, but they need to be either limited or moved out of All-Out-Warfare. That also means that the same soldiers the AI bots play as can be the class soldiers for players, which majority of the squads in both teams are strictly required to play as. Meanwhile only one single squad in both teams are able to play as specialists. This shows that specialists are the most special and most important part of both teams, the team will entirely depend on them to push further through objectives. To expand some additional ideas, here's a few more that could make it work: Previous idea, specialists are only used in only one squad, meanwhile, all the other squads of the team play as the class-based AI character soldiers. This means that class soldiers are the same soldiers as the AI bots in the solo/co-op game mode or portal servers. Also, if a specialist on the team dies, it will serve a massive penalty. That penalty would be the team score suffering a drastic number of points, taking off -10 or -20 points away from the team, which would make the team depend on the specialist squad way more than ever. With this next idea, the specialists can be moved to a new game mode where it is only just them. Since there are approximately 14 specialists currently, it could be a 7v7 game mode, a perfect even number! This mode could be like a Team Deathmatch mode or just a small Conquest mode, maybe both! This mode could be named Ascension point, Kill Zone, anything, whatever fits best. Although this next idea isn't as unique as the others, specialists can still be moved out of All-Out-Warfare, but they only remain in Hazard Zone. To improve this idea or idea #2 a little more, you can have both as the most rewarding modes that give you the most XP, as well as giving you more progress on things you want to unlock. This will make players want to play these game modes way more, especially if they give the highest amount of XP and level progression, which makes the specialists' game modes have a very important role for the community. This idea can still be merged with the other ideas, but maybe the specialists could be Single Player Campaign characters. Remembering the Exodus short film, the specialists can match into the campaign that takes place a little after the Exodus film. Since the lore and backstory is already rich and well written, it's best to not make it go to waste. The campaign could be something similar to Call of Duty's recent Modern Warfare campaigns, but instead of being fully High Energy Action, it could be a war-torn, depressing campaign where there is no hope. The main character the player plays as won't be a specialist, but he'll be a soldier. If this sounds interesting, the player will play as two main characters who are on separate sides. One on the US side, the other on the Russian side. My whole idea is that I know the Battlefield Team tried their hardest to make these specialists, their voices, their design, their backstory, all just to get to their final destination. So now, I want the specialists to become a better part of this Battlefield game, even if that means for other battlefield games to have specialists at all. This one does, and that's what makes it unique from the rest. Here's some update ideas that make the ideas not too hard for the team to cooperate on: Update 1: This is the Reimagined Clas System Update. This update is based on the portal class system, but instead of battlefield 3 soldiers or battlefield 2-1954, it will be the soldiers in the 2042 game mode that the AI bots played as who can now be playable for players. In short, majority of the team are just grunts. Update 2: This is the Vault Content Update. This is the update where grenades, guns, knives, kits, drones, all from most portal games, all get added to the main All-Out-Warfare mode just to make everything seem more competitive. Update 2.5: All vehicles like the f-18 from the portal version of Battlefield 3, as well as the Mi-28 are added into All-Out-Warfare Update 3: This is The Gunplay Update. It is the update where recoil is extremely intensified, making the guns a little challenging to control, yet worth having skill in. ADS animation is also slowed to give weight to the gunplay. Update 4: This is the Enhanced Vault Vehicle Abilities/Functionality Update. This update is where the vault vehicles in the All-Out-Warfare game mode are way faster with similar weaponry of the original 2042 vehicles or at least have enhanced weaponry that seems more fitting Update 5: This is the Update where all Vault vehicles and weaponry are all redesigned in the All-Out-Warfare more where they can fit in with the specific timeline, 2042. The Heads-Up-Display in these vault vehicles now look similar to the original Battlefield 2042 where there are tons of digital screens and holograms to match the time setting. These are all of the updates one-by-one, the campaign is something that's completely optional. These update suggestions don't have deadlines, because I know how hard it is to make a game. I was a developer once, and the game I once enjoyed developing is now gone, all progress is not even there. It took me about a year to even get to a decent point of my game, the map wasn't even made yet. To put in perspective, I understand how hard it must be for the Battlefield Team to make these updates, and it's no rush. If it takes months to finish, it takes months then. If it takes a year, it takes a year. I'm always worried for others, and when it comes to developing games, the outcome may be the most refreshing part, but it's developing to get it to there. So, all I'm saying is that there is no rush to make these updates because I know that the Battlefield Team have other things to do, other things in their life that may be stressful for them. It's one thing to have challenges outside the job you mainly work in, but it's another thing to have a really challenging job as well, it sounds so exhausting. I'll end this long exhausting message by saying that I believe the Battlefield Team has the ability to make Battlefield 2042 as truly the best Battlefield game ever. You've made games despite their issues at launch into great ageless games that never lose their greatness, never how far into the future we get, and I know you can do it again. Remember this, even in your outside lifestyle: "A descendant is never made to be worse than its ancestors, it's supposed to become greater than ever." You've got this! Prove those doubters wrong. Sincerely, Thomas (meeksda)War Machine Kinda Sucks
Frankly, it's too hard, especially with randoms. This mode expects you to play in a very specific way. You need to rush the point, as a team, smoke, arm, then fend off the robots. That's IF you can get close enough to the point and your team has the ability to work together, which randoms just don't have. The maps are not very good for this mode. You need purposed built maps for a mode like this, if the enemies never stop spawning, or don't let up in the slightest. Open areas don't work here. You need a better ping system for this type of PvE content. Look to games like Apex, they use a dial and you can communicate exclusively through that without using your voice. No one is using voice in this game, because the base game doesn't require it. So people are going to start using it just for one mode? That's a nope. Friendly fire was not the move. Now I have to constantly watch for people jumping in front of me while firing, which is every average players absolute favorite move in the world to do. They LOVE jumping in front of me in the regular game, now they do it in this new mode as well. I also have to worry about being shot in the back because my teammate wants to shoot from the same exact square foot I'm standing on. Another terrible habit that most players have in 2042. A couple good things from this update. The robots looks cool! Their movement and logic seems to be updated quite a bit, seems like something that's been getting developed for a little while now? Maybe its a placebo, but the AI seemed to be getting improvements over this past year. I like that you can crawl to cover, which is helpful for this mode. However, why on Earth is it in Third Person?! Why is the camera positioned in a manner that I'm trying to look INSIDE my character? It should be First Person. The camera flipping around transitioning is unnecessary and disorientating for no reason. I'm glad Dice is still working on the game, but unfortunately they don't get PvE. I want to punch a hole through the enemy, catch a break, arm, and then defend. You can't do that though. There is no break or reward for mowing down 20-30 bots in 10 seconds, which doesn't feel good at all to play. Sure it's hard, but is it challenging in a fun way? Not really. Just disappointed because it sounded fun when it was announced.
Battlefield 2042 Battlepasses
Just a quick thought, but as we are coming to the end of BF 2042’s life cycle, and all development will be going into BF Labs, I was wondering if they should allow people to progress through the previous battlepasses, I think it would be an excellent idea for player retention and monetisation, for a few seasons I was extremely busy with exams and work, to the point I couldn’t play any games whatsoever, and I missed out on a lot of the seasons and the content they offered. I love battlefield, and I always have, and if they were to do this, If I was allowed to unlock some of the customisations from previous battlepasses, I would be playing 2042 even after LABS comes out. If and EA dev comes across this (they probably won’t but I hope they will), PLEASE CONSIDER IT.HELP IN EVENT PASS

2042 has really excelled to date❤️
I put down Battlefield 2042 soon after October 7, 2023, and went back to battlefield 3 VU with bot mods. Only a couple of weeks ago did I pick this back up. WOW! What a difference from then to now. This game is greatly improved since then. So many little changes and enhancements to the way guns handle and sounds. The AI are really fun. I'm excited to be back and I enjoyed My experiences even better than before. I just played 64 conquest with BadCompany2 maps. The Soldiers talking smack on Valparaiso was immersive. I like this game because it has so much variety that you can do. I have to mention the way air vehicles handle is greatly improved as well. I hope that you will build upon the current version of the game into the next release. Very Well done. I am excited to see what you have for us in the next release. Battlefield fan since 2005. cheers❤️
I find that the robot versions of the specialist are superior
on one hand they lose a lot of the distinguishing features but I do not have to see at their faces anymore when they are at their robot skin. This is a great thing and a great lesson about how BF is best when the soldiers are at their most faceless PS: Especially AngelBattlefield 2042 Easter Eggs Compilation
Here's a compilation of known Easter Egg (EE) discoveries so far by the Battlefield community. Most of these were originally discovered by members of the BFEE community (you may need to join the Discord server first via discord.gg/bfee). I'll add to this list as more EEs get discovered. You can see a compilation of honorable mentions in post #6 below. Other numbered EEs will be hyperlinked to their respective posts due to character restrictions within this post. Enjoy! Note: any lack of discovery credit is usually because it's not known or too difficult to determine. Battlefield 2042 Easter Egg Compilation 1. Important Notice On Kaleidoscope, reach the Yonco building roof and you'll find a sign in Korean revealing mysterious accidents involving penguins: Important Notice Penguins are not allowed on this rooftop due to previous accidents with penguins. Discovery credit: JAM_BOX 2. Angel's loadout crate a) Barcode: Translates from Morse code to "PINGVIN", the Swedish word for penguin: Image, translation, and discovery credit: JAM_BOX b) Swedish warning label: The text in quotes is a Swedish idiom used when threatening another: WARNING The box is very heavy. Try to avoid getting it on your head. The box is not a toy. "Now the enemy has planted his last potato." Translation credit: CiaranDN11 And next to the second barcode further down: A-stamp. Does not get better than this. c) Battlefield franchise titles: Above the top barcode you can find a sequence of numbers. They refer to previous BF titles: 3. The Penguins of Madagascar On Breakaway in Breakthrough mode, you're able to approach the penguins near the oil rig without scaring them away. There, you may come across a group of four penguins that are suspiciously isolated from the rest of the penguin colony. This posse references the penguin quartet from the various "Madagascar" animated films. From left to right: Private, Kowalski, Skipper, and Rico. 4. Penguin drawings On Breakaway, you can find three penguin drawings at various locations. They show a penguin(s) as a: chef, flamethrower, and passengers riding a dinosaur. The last example references YouTuber DANNYonPC's avatar. Drawings are by DICE Level Artist Joel Zakrisson. You can also find the dinosaur drawing on the Redacted map next in the medbay. Image credit: Flex4d 5. Petting the Dog (Ranger) After you've called-in a Ranger, press and hold the interaction key as you stand by it, and you'll be able to pet your dog: Video credit: dog driving a car https://streamable.com/d2w42c Image credit: Battlefield 2042 6. Faith's "Evade" parkour shoes from Mirror's Edge a) On Kaleidoscope, go to the Telecom building's rooftop (next to the two tallest buildings): b) On Flashpoint, atop the crane on CQ objective D. Image & discovery credit: Jaymz l 21 l [XBOX]#7857 7. AI soldier names a) DICE / EA staff: When playing with AI soldiers of the US faction, some of the soldiers are employees at DICE / EA. One example is ""N. EK"", which refers to Sr. UX Designer Nathalie Ek at DICE in Sweden. Initially, employees weren't given a rank, but have subsequently been given ranks. b) In memoriam: Similarly, some dedicated fans found their way into the game as an AI name. Some of you may know of the late Leonardo (better known as "Mighty"), a huge fan of the Battlefield series. EA/DICE was kind enough to include his name not only in the credits, but also as an AI bot, "COL. L. MIGHTY". It is very rare to come across his name, and I for one have yet to see it. But, after (apparently over 200) hours of searching, Mighty's father finally found him in the game: Video & discovery credit: Mighty 8. ☃️ 3 Snowmen ☃️ On Breakaway, you can find 3 snowmen: Image credit: KingSgaming™ Image credit: hackterr#0851 9. Shadow of the Colossus game On Discarded, you can find a Colossus sigil referencing the "Shadow of the Colossus" game: Video credit: Dr3dze 10. Idle sneeze If you idle for too long, your character will eventually sneeze loudly. Extra detail - the game will consider your character as "idle" when playing with Casper's drone. Thus, Casper will eventually sneeze, and his drone view will shake in response. Furthermore, you'll able to watch yourself sneeze from the drone. Video credit: TheTopDawg101 11. Go Taxi Tuk-Tuk's phone number On Kaleidoscope, the Go Taxi branded Tuk-Tuks have a phone number referring to the seven main Battlefield titles in chronological order: 1942, 2, 3, 4, 1, 5, and 2042. This was originally discovered in the BF 2042 reveal trailer: 12. Full Circle studio logo At the skatepark on Kaleidoscope, you can find the Full Circle studio logo at 2 locations: 13. Manifest UpDown Games logo on distant skyscrapers On Manifest, references to Norwegian game studio UpDown Games can be seen off in the distance on 3 buildings. The first one is easiest to see as it's closer. The second one can be found further back to the right of the Ferris wheel. The third one requires an upclose inspection on the GOK building's slanted roof along the lighted edge, which reveals a collage of various logos including several for UpDown Games: Image credit: DANNYonPC 14. C5 detonator messages When detonating the C5, you may come across 10 unique messages on the detonator, with two shown below: NOPE! DESTROYED! BYE BYE! KABOOM! OUTCH! [sic] C5 GO BRRRRR DETONATED! C5 ACTIVATED! ELIMINATED! GONE 15. Piano cover of Battlefield theme song on radio You may hear a familiar tune playing at times on the radio. It's a piano/keyboard cover of the BF theme song. You may hear it playing in the elevator, while riding vehicles, or at various locations that have wireless radios strewn about the map. Video credit: Davil https://youtu.be/FbzF9YqHLw8?t=17 16. "McArthur" movie poster The McArthur movie poster references DICE Sr. Producer Ryan McArthur and Presentation Director Pascal Eggert: Image credit: Flex4d 17. "Awesome Direct Shipping Extreme Fast" shipping label On various maps, you may come across boxes with shipping labels. They're addressed to: "Sorry nothing funny to read here". 18. 🦖T-Rex toy in football stadium 🦖 On Hourglass, on the concourse floor in between the two #310 seating entrances (CQ large objectives A2 & A3), you'll find the classic T-Rex toy found in previous BF titles. Moreover, the 310 number may be a reference to the area code of West LA, home to Ripple Effect Studios (fmr. DICE LA). And, it's the same T-Rex toy that Irish finds and gives to his adopted son, Omar, in the "Exodus" short film. The T-Rex remains at the same location on the Stadium map. Discovery credit: the_monotonist 19. Kaleidoscope "PTFO" message on public transportation maps At each of Kaleidoscope's bus stop locations, nine of the station names can be read as a message: "WHY ARE YOU READING THIS?... PLAY THE FUDGING OBJECTIVE" 20. Banana & Clock There are 2 instances of banana and clock assets. One is on Breakaway at the oil rig, and the other is on Manifest on the PACIFIC ship at C1. The latter is accompanied by a shipping container full of bananas. Peculiarly, the digital clock shows a time of 15:00 (or 3:00 PM). If you look more closely at the banana, you'll notice that there's a sticker that's been poorly peeled off. The banana and clock assets were originally found in BFV, with the analog clock showing a time of 3:00. They seem to have a further meaning and are obviously related to the driss pod and chronometer in Star Wars: Battlefront II. Apparently, according to DICE 3D Level Artist Joel Zakrisson who is responsible for their creation, what the asset pair refers to is "possibly more obvious in another dice game" (that game most likely refers to BFV, given the date of the Tweet; however, the pair appears once again in BF 2042, so it in turn also applies to BF 2042): https://twitter.com/JoelZakrisson/status/1255911615440007168 Image credit: Diktaattori 21. Trollface Graffiti On Renewal, you can find the signature internet meme trollface (or "troll face") on select areas of the wall: 22. Evidence of FPS gaming on keyboards On some keyboards, you can see that the WASD keys are worn out. The left keys for CTRL, SHIFT, ALT, and slightly the 2, are also worn out. You may also find this detail on non-BF2042 maps such as on the BF3 MCOM and the BC2 UAV system keyboard: 23. "Fatburen" on HZ Resupply Stations & Strike Team Mode Objective Crate In Hazard Zone, the ammo resupply stations have a metal plaque with the DICE HQ location in Sweden. The same exists on Strike Team Mode's objective crate. The characters following "Fatburen" and "Stockholm" have an undeciphered message: Fatburen Stockholm 23442 234234.234V.1 Image credit: Tobyloby 24. QR Codes a) AI soldiers On the chests of AI bots, there's a QR code. When scanned, it'll take you to the EA page to purchase the 2042 game: Image credit: the_monotonist b) Kaleidoscope Emergency Alert On various locations on Kaleidoscope, you may come across the emergency alert message shown below. At the bottom right, you will see a QR code. When scanned, you'll be taken to DICE's Careers page: Image credit: the_monotonist c) PBX-45 SMG On the "Downpour" skin for the PBX-45 SMG, there's a unique QR code. When scanned, it will take you to the Google search result for "submachine gun". Additionally, on most skins of the PBX-45, the manufacturer is DICE SWE in Stockholm, Sweden. Image & QR code scanning credit: MrJacobvich#4242 d) BF3 SOFLAM - On the BF3 variant of the SOFLAM, there's a QR code that takes you to the Google search result for "SOFLAMLASER MARKER SYSTEM". Image & QR code scan credit: MrJacobvich#4242 e) SWS-10's "Elusive Stalker" Skin f) Falck's "Righteous Path" Skin 25. Haggard's Tactical Beanie The Weekly Mission reward beginning 10 February 2022 is a subtle reference to Bad Company's Haggard and his signature tactical beanie. DICE's Lead Game Mode Designer, Matt Wagner, confirmed this: https://twitter.com/Kenturrac/status/1492052800846581760. Irish's "No Cap" headwear from Season 2 tier 46 also appears to be the same beanie. 26. Shruggie emoticon when Rao hacks While hacking as Rao, your HUD will briefly flash computer code. One instance reveals a shruggie emoticon: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Another is the first line in the image below, which shows his hack is "attempting to greet with exodus_handshake.dat", most likely referencing the Exodus ship: 27. Wetter brand M44 revolver Most skins of the M44 revolver is made by "Wetter". That brand name refers to Animator Oskar Wetterbrandt, who worked on animating many of the guns for BF 2042, including the M44 revolver. On the other side of the revolver, you can see the full brand name "Wetterbrandt Arms". Moreover, the "920508" number specifically refers to the dev's birthday of 1992 May 8. Discovery credit: DANNYonPC Association credit: Flex4d 28. "Made From Home" coffee mug At the now defunct weapon Loadout screen, a black mug with text could be seen off to the corner of the weapon case. The mug read "Made From Home", in reference to the COVID lockdowns that forced much of the game to be made from home, and the IRL mugs that the Battlefield 2042 development team received. Also, you may barely be able to see the mug at the main landing page where your specialist is shown standing inside the Exodus ship (last image). Discovery credit: HotelMama Image credit: Battlefield 2042 Photo credit: Daniel Berlin 29. DICE LA House Band posters Although originally from the Bad Company 2 game, these posters were added to more locations on Arica Harbor. You can read a little more about it in a Tweet made by one of the band members and Senior VO Designer at Ripple Effect Studios (formerly DICE LA) Rob Gardner. Image credit: RobGzzzLA 30. ☼ DK+YN On Discarded, at CQ objective B2, you may come across the initials "DK" and "YN". These initials appear to be for Ripple Effect Studios' Lighting and Look Dev Directors David Kintner + Yuta Nakamura. Above the initials, there's a drawing of a sun, which may also be an ambiguous image to look like an eye or a magnifying glass (when incorporating part of the "Y"), to mean "Lighting" and "Look", respectively. 31. 🥝 Just Eat It 🥝 On Arica Harbor, unlike on the original BC2 map, you'll find a handwritten menu of available fruits on some of the storefront windows. At the very bottom, you'll find that the kiwi is crossed out, as the store ran out of it. It's seemingly very inconspicuous but there may be more to it. On the final mission of the original Bad Company 2 game, you'll come across an area of the plane dedicated to developers' photos/EEs. One of the items is a poster advertisement for kiwis, which may be why the kiwi is crossed out. 32.

Hazard Zone voice over lines On HZ, there are some rare voice over lines: a) "Another UFO is crash landing on Earth." Discovery & video credit: Swed Encoy L102 https://i.imgur.com/snJ9At1.mp4 b) "Martians are entering the AO." Discovery & video credit: Swed Encoy L102 https://i.imgur.com/oIQg5Xk.mp4 c) "Let's roooooock!!" Discovery & video credit: BF4NTOM https://twitter.com/BF4NTOM/status/1608585478311133185 d) "Get to the choppa!" e) "We're in the pipe, five by five." No audiovisual capture available. This is a line from the original Aliens movie. 34. "-420" when you die in a big vehicle When you and your large vehicle gets destroyed, during the kill cam, a "+ -420" HP status will flash very quickly. It's not clear what the exact meaning behind it is, as you're not as "high" in ground vehicles as you are in aircrafts, though you're definitely "wasted" when you die (yet that would also be true of specialists on foot and in smaller vehicles). 35. Random Battlefield 2042 & 2142 references Perhaps these are merely coincidental, or maybe the other alphanumeric characters add further meaning. In any case, you can find the "2042" number sequence on the back of one of the semi-trucks, and the "2142" number on one of the MCOM screens. Discovery credit: Mr.What'sHisFace 36.

First Hacker
Hello, I have been playing this game since launch! I love it even with the hard launch. But for the first time over the weekend, I saw a hacker named [Edit, no 'name and shame' here please - EA_Barry] I was surprised but we all reported him and I am not sure if he was banned. Is there a way to see if he was banned?DICE please keep the weekly missions going.
As the title says I think that it would be a real boost for the game if they kept the weekly missions going right up until the next BF launches. I know players have mentioned this in other threads but I just want to give it it's own thread so it gets maximum visibility. I personally feel it would help maintain the current player base which is very important especially with new titles launching recently. Not sure how difficult it would be to provide weekly missions, but how do you guys feel about it. ? If we could drum up enough support do you think we could persuade DICE to implement it. ?[retracted]The Event mode with 4 humans vs A.I. androids mode tag
It turns out that it was just that the progression was only appearing after the end of the round instead of right away. So all is well for now I think. My bad, I jumped the gun The full XP tag entails not being limited in terms of progressing on Mastery beyond lvl 12 / T3. I would recommend to either properly update the XP tag for this mode to Moderate XP or alternatively to just turn full progression back on for it and let those who still have not quit for other games, to unlock themselves a few T1 skins. This screenshot is from a table made my DICE themselves to explain the progression tags. I might be Blind cause I think it says FULL XP.
