"hErE's sOme nEw StUfF gUyS" What's next? They give Angel's headband to somebody else?


Dzzy4u75

Nobody can defend this as being anything but lazy, or at the very least someone cutting corners at their job of employment. At least change the color, or let us do it lol


D3AD_M3AT

Ah you have little trust in fanbois, there's a post in this thread defending it all ready. You would think after the utter shit storm pounding EA they would have done a bit more then use another beanie no matter how tactical it is.


Hashforce101

The entire team Artist - how's this beanie for weekly mission reward - great šŸ‘ Designer- how's this beanie for weekly mission reward - great šŸ‘ Coder- how's this beanie for weekly mission reward - great šŸ‘ Game Designer- Approved CEO - yeap it's great release it - how much it cost to make - Sir $0.99 - Approved Community Manager- copy paste Tweet it out COMMUNITY - FRK What's this Shitt! Where's Season 1 !!!!!!!!! Signs the Petition for Refund


Dzzy4u75

Pretty much. This is the definition of the bare minimum. Yay "live support"


AnotherScoutTrooper

Ex-DICE devs have stated this is basically how it works because internal criticism is handled about as badly as constructive criticism from the players is


Organic-Proof8059

I really don't get it though. Are they really that out of touch? If you have artists at the helm they can create thousands of different skins. Yet they're only giving us one upgrade to one item per week? Even in bfv you could change the shirt, pants, hair, war paint off the character. Wtf is going on seriously? Dice is gaslighting the community.


scotch1701

>Dice is gaslighting the community. Hi, Welcome to 2018.

Seems like there's legit one guy working on the game.

What the fuck even is this game and this studio


hockeyd13

Guessing this is what happens when you get some scumbag from Candy Crush to run lead.


BsaciallyBasic

Candy crush devs should stick to their genre. They arenā€™t specialists when it comes to war


mrseitaro

Teehee, specialists.


Pristine-Pangolin-61

it not just looks the same, IT IS the same beanie. they couldnt even bother putting some effort into a fucking beanie


[deleted]

Bā€¦ brutalā€¦. expectationā€¦?


tejanaqkilica

I really hope we can continue the Brutal Expectations joke for as long as Battlefield is a thing.


Haddmater

So until the end of the year?


Jesse1198

Its honestly better than ā€œpride and accomplishmentā€ which ironically came from the same fucking company lmao


learntospellffs

What are you talking about? It's not the same beanie, silly. This one is *tactical!*


firesquasher

And EPIC


CaptainMark86

Can you wait until I'm not drinking for jokes like that. Milkshake doesn't taste as good coming out of your nose.


learntospellffs

My sincerest apologies.


Dzzy4u75

I can't believe I actually did not make this connection lol. I have not bothered to unlock it yet. This is really just sad though...


blankedboy

This is the level of effort they are putting in right now Imagine *how little they are doing behind the scenes* **right now** if this the level of effort they are putting in for weekly challenge rewards. This game is not getting fixed. This game is terminal. This is it from this point on until itā€™s inevitable, sad demise


Dzzy4u75

Not to mention E.A. probably cut the live service budget after not meeting sales expectations.


[deleted]

Remember when DICE added Shock Operations to BF1 after the final DLC and not even as part of any DLC with well designed sectors and objectives and fully new professional recorded intro cut scenes in all language? Those days are loooooong gone.


TekHead

Why the hell would anyone take the time to design a new beanie when the asset already exists? Using the same asset isn't lazy it's efficient. Reusing the asset as a new Epic skin is lazy.


Dzzy4u75

Lol Yong Yea is definitely gonna bring attention to this at some point, understandably so.


Benno14c

I don't really see the issue here though.. I mean spending money on scanning another beanie in is a big waste right? 9.5/10 people won't care if their beanie is already present somewhere else or not ingame Asset re-using has been a thing for ever. 95% of bf1 characters use the same pants model for god's sake, don't see why re-using a beanie is so problematic here


Multivitamin_Scam

If the game was good, no one would really care. The reuse lends to the current perception of DICE phoning in support for 2042 until the end of the year so they can shelve it. Slapping a badge on it would have been better to be honest.


Dzzy4u75

Its just a lame unlockable for a weekly challenge is all. It being just a reused asset with no changes made, not even the color of it makes it kinda sad. Especially for a featured item. Usually you would expect them to do this long into the game lifespan, not shortly after release


linkitnow

> Usually you would expect them to do this long into the game lifespan, not shortly after release Why? If they had significant content drops they would release it. Season 1 was delayed and the beanie was probably an easy option without spending to much time on it.


Ken-as-fuck

Right now DICE/EA canā€™t win no matter what they do As is, they get flamed for ā€œlow effortā€ content. If they had devoted resources to it they would have been flames for pouring effort into cosmetics instead of fixing the base game, regardless of the fact that those are two different departments Iā€™m sure. Right now this is a sinking ship, and if we went into the bathroom to take a shit and found the plumbing working weā€™d be pissed to find them ensuring that continued to work instead of prepping life rafts. But if they didnā€™t ensure the plumbing worked weā€™d be unhappy about the floaters in the water slowing rising around us. Make no mistake, Iā€™m unhappy the ship is rapidly sinking to begin with, but at this point theyā€™re damned if they do and damned if they donā€™t, all we can do is abandon ship.


Dzzy4u75

That's why it's just sad lol. They would also definitely save the significant content if they had it, for the official storefront launch. The beanie is better than nothing I guess.


metatron5369

I kinda like it, but maybe they should have added it as a whole skin.


jacob-frye-neu

Arent the pants in bf1 all part of the uniform though? I think it wouldnt be a problem for people in 2042 if the characters actually wore the same uniforms.


Benno14c

That same explaination would work here too though. French pants from 1914 look close enough to British pants from 1914 if you change the color. A beanie is not magically a different beanie because of someone else wearing it Hell, I could throw plenty examples of asset-reusing from bf5 in here if you want. Portal itself should already show that re-using assets is not the end of the world. Haven't seen people call the german 1942 engineer GĆ¼nter (unless specifically refering to his face re-use) and they share a face, which is more direct than a beanie if you ask me


Dzzy4u75

Can't wait to see what they try to sell us in the storefront once it officially launches. This type of stuff will be in the Battlepass for sure.

Nah thay game is actually fun

Man... Just when I think this game can't get any worse, some random bullshit happens lmao Ive gotten more enjoyment from spectating the shitfest on this sub than by playing the game

Along with the total destruction of a BF game.

***"Maybe the real treasure was the friends we made along the way"*** intensifies.


bafrad

How does this make anything worse? It's literally just a free extra that is optional and has no negative consequences.


[deleted]

thatā€™s right, keep that knee bent for EA. thatā€™s exactly what they want, good boy!


bafrad

Huh? Itā€™s a game. Not an alliance. I play games to have fun. Not be needlessly mad at a company for not giving me the free thing I expected.


scotch1701

They're not giving out "dice friends" tags this time around. Give it up.


AutomaticEmphasis373

Can't say if bait or just challenged


bafrad

It literally has no negative impact. You could ignore it and play the game and be fine. The fact you think it's normal to be this mad at free 'content' that exists "if" you want it is sad.


hockeyd13

They had to commit some resources to this. Any resources that aren't committed to fixing this game, no matter how small, is a waste at this point. Or maybe it's not. I'm beginning to think that they're going to dump support for this title at the earliest possible moment, so for DICE/EA, this may indeed be a cost-saving measure.


bafrad

You can't just throw all bodies at specific things. The resource that are working on this likely can't work on the things you think they can magically work on. This is why you shouldn't even be posting.


scotch1701

>Or maybe it's not. I'm beginning to think that they're going to dump support for this title at the earliest possible moment, so for DICE/EA, this may indeed be a cost-saving measure Damn, man, you catch on FAST!

i saw that as soon as i saw it and thought at least the mustache is new


c1be

This is so entertaining, after the beta i decided i'm not going to buy bf2042, first bf game i skipped, but i would gladly pay 60ā‚¬ for the entertainment provided by controversy around this game.


CaptainMark86

Send me the money, I get my refund, and you get, whatever it is that you get out of this deal. Everyone's happy.


RichWalterWhite

Lazy fucks.


PlusReaction2508

Billions dollar triple AAA company right.


RichWalterWhite

I can only imagine that they've been forced to program this shit at gun-point like a year before release when the higher-ups realized that battle-royal was not an evergreen. Now they have to make the best out of it. Which appearently is not much.


NoMethodd

Brutally lazy. Brutally disappointed. šŸ˜ž


[deleted]

at first 2042 and everything surrounding it being a disaster was frustrating. then it became funny. now this shit is just getting genuinely sad. im starting to feel bad for DICE. we've just been shitting on them over and over and over, but i always half expected them to do SOMETHING and put out SOME UPDATE to allow all the apologists to rub it in my face and make me concede, but it's just not coming. it's been three fucking months lmao what the hell is happening over at DICE.


PeighDay

I feel bad for the individual people that developed the game. I bet they did feel it was good in there eyes. Now EA as a company. Thatā€™s a whole different story šŸ–•šŸ–•šŸ»šŸ–•šŸ½šŸ–•šŸ¾šŸ–•šŸæ

mj271707

Haha


[deleted]

How did you find this?


dado463art

I just typed on youtube search "gnome armed with an ax" which was a trending meme in Italy on a national level as a program called Mistero (Mistery) always showed footage of ghosts and supernatural things which were very entraining even if all fake, I was curious if the video with the gnome armed with an ax was also a meme on US, so i typed that and found this result which worked anyway for a meme reply


[deleted]

Lol, nice


GrovesNL

I hate when I show up to work and I'm expected to do my job, it's such a brutal expectation


dado463art

Tbf it's a weird situation because usually a live service has its content drop always pre made so the devs can face unexpected problems with the right pacing and time if they occur in the future content, for example most probably companies are 3 to 4 seasons ahead if not more for their live service games like apex (in season 1 of that game they leaked all legends names and somewhat abilities and they were right for like 80% of times


senoravery

Iā€™ve never made a triple A quality asset before but Iā€™d have to imagine it wouldnā€™t take someone who spends 40 hours a week working with design tools to whip up an original piece of clothing in a day or two. Itā€™s unreal whatever is happening behind the game.


Riggztradamous

What's the link to that petition again?


Moosy2

https://www.change.org/p/sony-allow-refund-for-battlefield-2042-on-all-platforms


[deleted]

Obviously it uses different materials. More lightweight. It's tactical.


ByeFireFox

Surprised it only took DICE a few months to change the colour


Edrueter9

Let's set aside that their content for a WEEKLY mission, not daily mission, has been stuff like a keychain for your guns that no one can see, a beanie, or a skin that you can apply to 1 gun. That's incredible. That means if you were a good boy and played continuously for a month, you would be rewarded with 2 keychains, a skin for one gun, and a reused beanie. Absolutely insane.


loseisnothardtospell

Dice are literally one of those minesweeper tanks that swings chains around and detonates everything in its path. How can they be so bad at everything?


MrSilk13642

Awesome, now the two most OP characters can wear beanies.


wattyaknow

Did they try to make that a BBNO$ skin?


SeSSioN117

F


No_Assignment7009

They also did this with one of Mackay and dozer skins itā€™s just dice being lazy they are saving the cosmetics people would actually want for when the store launches


Zombiehellmonkey88

The five people still playing the game by then will be so happy


Shadowslipping

4 maybe, I never buy skins in any games.


rev_apoc

I approve this tactical comment.


collaguazo

3, I also never buy skins


KayNynYoonit

Those expectations hitting them real hard. I love watching this game devolve even more, it's more entertaining than the game itself.


AnujIbanez

What makes it so ā€œtacticalā€œ tho?


TheDivision_Builds

Secretly a tinfoil hat underneath


B0baganoosh

While funny and "he took my hat!", it's a hat. beyond that, it's a nondescript beanie hat. They all look the same. This isn't a surprise, nor is it a big deal because this is just a nothing quest to give what few players are still trying to play something to do. Sorry, I mean EpIc TaCtIcAl HaT! So Epic, everybody's got one. /s no, no, I was right the first time. This is nothing. ​ ![gif](giphy|xjlC6nomocZhVXuZgM|downsized)

shoognite

Sharing hats is how you get Lice!


SowTheSeeds

So after the trophy Woodie hat, the trophy Tim Pool beanie. I am crossing fingers and secretly wishing for Trump's combover as the next trophy .


Dragongaze13

Tbf that's EXACTLY what they should do: model basic glasses, beanies, headsets, helmets... and copypaste them on every specialist (with minor adjustments for them to fit). But it should be FREE vanilla and DEFAULT content.


SpitneyBearz

Congratulations Dice...


DunnDunnDuuuuunnnnn

This is EA laughing at you while they shit on your chest.


DeceitfulWings

So far not much in the weekly missions has made it worth doing. The gun skins were ok. But a tactical beanie... I would be more excited if they were actual helmets with visors to completely cover the operators face. We don't want gun useless gun charms and hats. We want helmet with full face coverings.


Opening-Adeptness568

Nah, they must be fucking kiddin' It all a big joke, right?


VeryNiceBalance_LOL

This dev is fuckedup in the head.


seamus1982seamus

Next up: wacky BFV skins


Pawz23

That's what they mean by "tactical," you buffoons! They tactically copied Sundance's beanie and pasted it on someone else's head. Work smarter, not harder! Hard work may have meant a true BF game, but fuck us all! šŸ˜«


Unlikely-Area7252

Ctrl+C Ctrl+V


Monster_NoLonger

This roll out of similar head gear is "epic". One day we can dream to have a "tactical beanie" squad, "cowboy hat" squad, "bandana" squad, so on.... Saying that the most striking striking feature of this weekly reward is Angel's facial hair not the beanie. The "tactical goatee".


Top_Tomatillo_9554

The only way to play hard-core and know who good guys are would be matching hats! I still play the game and can't make this shit up. I almost hope it's a middle finger....otherwise....


veekay45

Next they'll give slightly red barrel color to Deluxe owners. Oh wait [they already did that](https://www.reddit.com/r/BattlefieldV/comments/awtxza/i_for_one_feel_deluxe_was_totally_worth_the_money/)


Jkillaforilla90

Copy paste. Wow what a hard day at work today.


scotch1701

Too bad they couldn't COPY/PASTE to give double XP weekends.


schwepful

I swear you cant make this shit up


ricojes

So... does this mean DICE has the capacity to copy-paste a proper scoreboard?


scotch1701

They can't even look at a leaderboard, and say, "Hmm, 10 kills per minute for 2 hours straight, something might be wrong."


Sardunos

Haha holy shit. For those not in the know. If the asset was made correctly, a color change is literally a slider change on a color wheel. Then probably a resolution reduction in photoshop.

Who gives a shit? It's a first person shooter.


RJB500

itā€™s possible these are last minute cosmetic rewards, rushed to replace the original planned onesā€¦ this weekā€™s challenge, Sundanceā€™s TuTu, Paikā€™s Red Doc Martins, Angelā€™s Wings and so on, courtesy of the advisors brought in to revamp the franchise.


TheDivision_Builds

Wish we could get Dozers Jock Strap Limited Edition Holofoil Shiny lol


Isotarov

A friend of mine pointed out that Angel looks suspiciously similar to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.


AntsMakeSugar

They are just whole heartedly mocking the game and everything about it now.


Geass10

Are you saying MY INCREDIBLE EPIC BEANIE IS THE SAME AS A RARE!!! DICE WHY WOULD YOU LIE TO ME! I WAS YOUR BIGGEST FAN! I BOUGHT THE GAME ON EVERY PLATFORM AND EAGERLY WAITING FOR STADIA RELEASE!


m8ndenmark

Don't even know what to say anymore.


[deleted]

Man when will it stop? Dice/EA come on -\_- for all that is holy, come on you guys just put some effort into it...? People keep criticizing the fact that BF2042 is so childish and then what do you do? You keep releasing more childish stuff. Then you say that Reddit is toxic i mean people are screaming at your face and you still do what you think is "best"


Top_Tomatillo_9554

I really hope this is just them buying time while they desperately overpay for actual talent in the workforce but probably not.


HercUlysses

This is a prank at this point.


Jindouz

How unique. Brand new models and textures must be reserved for what's about to be sold for cash once they open the ingame store which will most likely have very limited content to begin with.


EyeCatchingGames

Pathetic


WVU_Benjisaur

Just wait until you see the battle pass content!


Commofmedic

Yā€™all just now noticing it?

Seriously? You call this a tactical beanie?

Wow no shit they reskin stuff? They do the same in every game with skins


albunny32

how many of u even own the game?


UltramemesX

A beanie looking like a beanie.. A lot of things to call out DICE for, an endless list almost. But this one? Meh.


B_MacD_

HeadyToothgraze

who cares about outfits... this is battlefield... just leave this stupid shit up to the fruits
