Battlefield 2042

[The red spirit]

Same here but yea I know that multi is a big thing nowadays. 'not a fan of this trend one bit'
Multi only games especially FPS = hard pass for me. 'Last time I played a multi FPS was back in the UT 2004/CS 1.6/Source days but I'm not interested anymore in such'

I did play most of the CoD and BF games single player parts and I kinda had fun with them for what its worth.

If I could at least play vs bots 100% with no option for others to join in then that would be something at least.

After trying Forza 3 and GTA 5 multiplayer I was put off of any multiplayer experience for life, with only CS:GO being a slight exception and even then only on official servers. It's nice that you mentioned UT2004, I used to play it a lot and I still play it offline from time to time. It's a phenomenal game and it runs on anything, even on GeForce 2 GTS.

I scored a GTX 1660 SUPER and that is so awesome, cause it is so powerful... And wait. No it's horrible slow

Will have to wait and see if 1660 super can handle this new game.

Dude, it's a decent card. It's definitely not a potato and and it runs any game right now. You are seriously underestimating it, if you think otherwise.

It's not a bad card, for those looking for that level of performance. The situation is just, I need and want more than 1660 super can deliver. It's not a 1440P high fps capable card and I need that. I want rtx 3080 or 3080 ti. So 1660 super is pretty weak compared to those cards.

I guess it is then, but overall it's a decent card that won't leave you stranded in silicon shortage. RTX cards are also a bit of space heaters and likely unpleasant to use in summer.

I guess it will keep me going until gpu shortage normalizing In like a year maybe.

About space heaters. I'm used to that. Since 2009 I've used space heaters. 3 way sli with gtx 285, 2 way sli with gtx 570, gtx 660 ti, gtx 970 and a single gtx 1080 TI. So one more space heater would not effect me

Multi only? Wtf?

to be fair, battlefield games campaigns were not so good since 2010 bad company 2, so taking that away and putting the resources to what made battlefield games matter the most, their multiplayer, is fine by me.

Also DICE are not good story tellers, the story in their games are average at best

I just want 2143.. A successor to 2142. This has promise but I want mechs and hovering ships and eject pods from ships and transports.. lol

Titanfall 2 ?

You people ....

There is nothing wrong with the 1660 super, its a very capable 1080p gaming card, lol calm down, just because its not top of the charts dosnt mean its not good, how do you even think like that

1660 super is fine for what it is. But you all mentioned 1080P. The problem is, I do not game in 1080P any more. I have moved on to 1440P 144 Hz and I do like to crank game settings all the way up. No more 1080P 60 Hz for me and I come from a gtx 1080 TI that is faster than gtx 1660 super. Shut never had sold that card last year before ampere came.

And for that 1660 super just dosent cut it for me. I expected to get rtx 3080 or 3080 ti. So compared to my wishes, 1660 super is not good. Good on its own, but for my needs, it's a card I will only use temporary. How long depends on how long I have to wait for a rtx 3080 card and that probably long way from happening yet.

It should be doing just fine at 1440p too, just not at Ultra and not at 144Hz. My RX 580 is still mostly good for 1440p 60 fps medium-high. 1660 Super should do 100 fps at same settings or even more. 3080 is a bit overkill for anything less than 4k. And anyway, your 980X will bottleneck anything higher than 1660 Super and 1660 Super. You should think about upgrading your CPU instead of GPU. GTX 1080 Ti is still a very capable card and should be fine for your needs.

Yeah you all ready mention the problem at start. Not at ultra and 144 Hz. That's exactly what I want from a card. I'm done with 60 fps gaming. I finnally just started building a system capable of it and got a monitor for it. if it had a proper gpu as well. That would happen.

To all, ignore my system config spec. It's not updated yet with the new specs. If it's system spec you all looking at and think I game in 1080P. That is not the case any more.

I Will not say 3080 is overkill for 1440P. Maybe at some games. But not all. I can just look back to my GTX 1080 TI. I can tell you that even gtx 1080 TI, can have a hard time in 1080P in a few games with the highest settings back in time when it was the hot deal.

Here's your problem. You know we have a little thing called "silicon shortage", sensible people just shift their focus from the best gaming experience to something that's good enough and doesn't break the bank. Your 1080 Ti qualified as that and 1660 Super did too (although it's odd for you to downgrade to 1660 Super). And you see, claiming that 1080 Ti was "struggling":

makes you not a very believable chap. It runs every single game at 1080p and at high or ultra settings, while getting quite high fps.

Daniel Berlin is the lead designer??? If that is the case im going to touch this with an extremely long barge pole. He is another reason for me to be extremely cautious of the game.

don't forget to double wrap it and cover the end in liniment

 

[Space Lynx]

I don't buy games that are multiplayer focused because that means that there will be cheaters also. imo cheaters take the fun out of the game.

It's inevitable that wherever there are rankings and scores there will be cheaters also.

yep. agree. the only multiplayer games I have played in last decade are with bots. there are too many "subtle" hackers out there now. they make sure its obvious they are not hacking, but we all know they are. i gave up on multi a long long time ago

i hear that a lot but dont notice it much , my only obvious experience is co.go when i was definitely shooting and killing a player but they kept on running.BF maybe im so engrossed i dont see it .
hopefully the maps are huge so getting shot by a sniper is less easy .

that's cause modern hackers use subtle hacks. if they are obvious they know they get banned quicker.

Titanfall 2 ?

You know I've had Titanfall 2 since it came out and I still haven't played it past the tutorial. I will someday but I'd rather have a successor to 2142. Honestly, since I've owned VR I can't bring myself to playing pancake games.. lol Half-life: Alyx has ruined pancake gaming for me.. lol I have so many games in my backlog for Steam. lol I couldn't even finish RDR2, but the person who made the VR mod for GTA5 just released a VR mod for RDR2. I plan to play it using that so I can finish it.
I just bought an Odyssey G5 too and it has helped bring back a little bit of joy playing pancake games but I don't know if it's enough.

wow im not gonna get a vr setup now

No, it's in a good way. Once you play a game in VR you'll understand. lol I have way to many great games in VR right now that I'm playing like The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners. It's really good and the setting is great. Scavaging for items to craft stuff in houses is really good. The weather and day and night effects are great as well.

pancake games

... what are "pancake games"

You mean anything that isnt VR

 

[Mindweaver]

... what are "pancake games"

Yeah just monitor games in general. Just a new reference most VR users are using. I can't remember who first said it but it's stuck. lol

 

[Sybaris_Caesar]

While I like the hype, I've lost faith in AAA developers and day one playability. While I'm interested I'll wait a few months IF I buy it.

 

[Sithaer]

Now I doesn't feel that bad for not owning one nor planning to ever get one cause it makes me sick after a few mins 'I have very bad eyesight too'.
Tried my friend's HTC Vive once and noped out of it pretty fast.

Tho I really wanted to play Alyx since HL 2 was like the first game I ever pre ordered in my high school days bu yea, aint happening like this. 'one reason why I was pissed at Valve'

 

[Chomiq]

I just saw on Wikipedia that there would be a single player mode included.

Battlefield 2042 - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Not really, but I don't know wtf that means:

Unlike previous installments in the series, the game will not have a traditional single-player campaign. This allowed DICE to allocate more resources to develop the multiplayer portion, which was considered to be the studio's area of expertise. Instead, the story will be told through the specialists, which are named and fully-voiced characters who have their own story and perspective. The narrative was described as "evolving" as new operators and locations would be added to the game post-release.

lol yep i understand , ive thought about vr very hard because it looks amazing , its just i dont wanna change uno if uno what i mean

That's understandable and the tech is getting better each year. It really reminds me of when 3d game started to take off in the mid 90's with the Playstation and then N64. At the time 2d gaming was starting to get really good-looking on a NeoGeo level but affordable. 3d gaming wasn't as pretty but Tomb Raider sold me on it then by the time Mario 64 hit I couldn't get enough of it. I feel like Half-life alyx is the Mario 64 of VR.

We are starting to derail this thread. Come over to our Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality section and check it out. Back to 2042, I'm really interested in playing the beta or early access. I'd love to see a Dice game in VR. I really hope someone makes a mod for it.

 

[GamerGuy]

I play SP mode only, since BF 2042 doesn't have SP Campaign, it's off my 'to get' list I'm afraid.

 

[Cvrk]

will see what CoD will offer this year in November but Battlefield i don't like what I see. Cold War i never purchased but I played it each time they gave it for free and it's honestly a very good game. it has a solid 4-6 hours campaign one of the best out there and then the multiplayer is super good. Maybe CoD will surprise against his year

For me the ride stopped at Battlefield 1 , sad to see those servers empty
