The military as in a hole

Within battlefield 2042 I know we have engineers support staff medics and assault and snipers now why couldn't we have mortars and also artillery to help out with the tanks it's just a thought for EA Games to think about as in as an addition to battlefield 2042

  • Hi @Harry572020 The mortars were removed when BFV came out, if memory serves due to people complaining about indirect fire gadgets (it was still possible to do with the PIAT, and there was the artillery call in too of course), so I presume that it's the same thinking with them not being in BF2042.

    I'd personally quite like mortars to come back. I'm not so sure about artillery strikes though as it got tiresome being pummelled by it in BFV, but that's just me.
  • @ElliotLH Thats just you and a few others. I think the artillery strikes and v1 etc was all cool. Besides you had 10 seconds to run out of its range as you`ve seen the red smoke on the ground, and you could hear the v1 coming from miles away. I miss it, those call ins were just encouraging for playing together as a squad. Now all my squadmates are running around. Very rarely i have 1-2 squad mates that follow orders. I wish they`d bring it back.

    I totally agree with you when we were in the military we work together I spent time in a Canadian Armed Forces regiment then went on to being in the Canadian Armed for the Airborne and I enjoyed my time in the Army but I also have some time that as hindered me in life and it brings back to many bad memories sometimes

    It would nice to see them incorporated into battlefield 2042 especially where the artillery cannot just have explosive Browns fired they can also have HP sent as well dealing fire damage

    Fully accept that it's a 'me' thing @Nutcrusherr and I did initially like artillery as a call in. I just got really tired of running off and on to capture points during the later sectors of Breakthrough matches. Never really minded the V1s as you needed a decent number of points to get one so it didn't feel quite as spammy to me.

    Don't get me wrong, if they were added back in then there'd be no complaints from me.

  • If you ever worked with the artillery or with mortars you always work with Matt coordinates so in call of duty or battlefield 2042 you can always incorporate that the person that is using or doing those things within the game how to put in coordinates in order to have them be used properly without the coordinates then they can't use them so it makes you have to think more

  • Another thing is it takes time to set up mortars properly as well as artillery so the players would have to realize that they can't get automatically put them in a sector and start firing it takes time plus they also have to do the coordinates like I told you which would make it more harder for them to use them but more enjoyable and exciting within the game itself
