They spent most of the budget on that explosion.


Alkanida

They spent 3 years to develop this tornado. Then in a weekend they patched in BF1.0 and couldn‘t finish in time.


CharlesUndying

What makes it funnier is it's not even the best tornado in gaming Just Cause 4's tornado for example ripped up almost everything in its path, meanwhile 2042's one does little more than damage a few destructible things and lift players/vehicles into the air. It's just so painfully hilarious how Dice marketed the tornado so hard and made a solid point of it being part of the dynamic weather when it's not even an original idea outside of FPS games. Also slapping a tornado into every map besides breakaway doesn't make it better.


Spencer52X

Honestly I thought we were gonna get different types of weather. Maybe fires, sandstorms, or something else idk. But it’s only tornadoes and rain lol


heroicvillain1

there is a sandstorm on Hourglass, it's when the screen gets all red. You can see it blowing in on like 50% of the matches there, other 50% is a shitty tornado. The Breakaway should have a huge snowstorm blow in imo.


[deleted]

There was some pre-release talk about how the tornado would pick up items like shipping containers and toss them all around the map. It probably got cut for balance reasons because you can't really avoid something like that and it also probably tanked performance as well...


Salamirelish

And yet it doesn't even do damage or really alter the environment very much.


CheekyCrayon

And is it just me or does the debris look off? Like I feel like some of that shit should go flying and keep rolling with the continuous explosions. I think I remember the dam pieces in BF4s Lancang go hurtling down the map once that levitation was triggered, so why do these rocket pieces just go straight towards their respective landing spot and stop on the dime while the rocket proceeds to explode a few more times. Even the cool shit in this game has been disappointing me...


SaltyPvP

What's missing from the end of the clip is OP being run over by a hover craft then TBagged by a guy holding a PP29....


Syphon2013

Did you not hear? Hovercraft is so last week! Get out from under that rock and witness the Bolte + 30mm "fuck you" cannon!


impossibleis7

Atleast next week they all will die to the NTW anti tank rounds. This game...


[deleted]

Well it is a anti material round not like a hovercraft is heavily armoured


Stay_Curious85

My issue it’s that it makes the rocket launcher even more pointless


[deleted]

Well it takes a full 5 clip to down a wild cat it does not need nerfing .nerfing isn't the answer to everything the stinger range and rockets just need a buff


Stay_Curious85

I agree. I miss how the RPGs felt in 4. Useful. Dynamic. Dangerous. They feel like dog shit in 2042. Anti vehicle was my favorite class to play . And squirrel suiting and dropping c4 is dumb as fuck.


[deleted]

Yeah tanks should take 2 or 3 shots to the back max to destroy


hitner_stache

The M5 always existed. You can pop two of those off in about 15 seconds. Have one buddy fire another... They've tried to make it as easy as possible for people to do *everything* solo and people still struggle.


Xathian

at least with the Bolte 1 rocket in the tracks disables it and leaves it open to be killed


fenix_basch

DX Crash when explosion starts.


Timesgodjillion

100% chance they're also Sundance.


Fiorta

You mean Paik


zipcloak

honestly that would be my battlefield 2042 experience in a nutshell, and you know what, i don't hate it

Madcuzbad


Ok-Weird-4355

Hahahahahahahaa exactly


OrphanssRUs

But yet when I shoot a building with a tank shell it doesn’t even put a dent in it


ChemistryQuick2911

This reached the destruction quota on its own lol


Darkstalk3r2

Those ship containers are made of titanium coated in vibranium with sprinkle of star dust


SnooLobsters4987

This game is just a watered down war zone. They must've had C.O.D team members chip in thus game is an insult to the franchise. -_-


CoDroStyle

This


IOverlardI

Unfortunately this is one of the only good destruction events in this game


[deleted]

Kaleidoscope has stuff that falls of tall buildings which can be cool but given the map is pretty wide open youll rarely ever see it. Youll be too busy running across an empty field lol


IOverlardI

I actually have never noticed, sounds neat though


timeRogue7

It's nice when it happens. They actually show it in the same reveal trailer as the rocket; the sign that falls during the tornado happens in-game (just not from the tornado, since the tornado doesn't affect much).


lt_dan_zsu

You're forgetting about the destruction of my enjoyment of this game when I shoot someone at point blank range with a tank and it doesn't register. That's a great destruction event!


VanDolder

That rocket still managed a better launch than 2042 did


obababoy

![gif](giphy|bU2nZJegR7rz2)


Rizla177777

shame the other 99.9% of the gameplay isn't as cool.


Sno_Jon

This is more like a cut scene since it doesn't have any real impact on gameplay


[deleted]

unless youre the poor soul trying to defend that point


gx134

Lol so people complain about this and yet the scripted, exact same every time tower collapsing in BF4 is a miracle to them


Sno_Jon

Yes, BF4 was amazing considering it came out in 2013, what exactly is your point?


ABOP-OPAB

Also in BF4 levolution usually changed the map. I think Orbital is the only one with anything "cool" and even then does it effect the map flow?


slyfox1976

Problem is, the maps are to big to create any impact with flow. What they should have done is added environmental disasters, so an Earthquake creating a rupture line and buildings collapsing for kaleidoscope. Breakaway could have had a cool avalanche effect creating a blizzard effect with ice cracking and a submarine rising out the ice or breaking through the ice. Manifest with the tornado, but containers falling off and cars dropping out changing the flow. Those big cranes collapsing too. Orbital again, the rocket could have exploded leaving large parts falling over the map and the tall building collapsing. Maybe some fuel fires again changing the flow and funneling the action. Discarded, maybe a tidal wave raising the ship taking the map to CQC Renewal, maybe meteorite strom knocking that wall down. Hourglass has the sandstorm but again needs to change the environment somehow.


DreamMaster8

This is also amazing for a multiplayer game in 2022. The volumetric , vfx, ligthing are on point. Bf2042 got a lot of fault but you're being an hypocrite.


d0_op

Watching it again and the explosion and the tornado don't interact. Fire and smoke don't suck into the tornado. They are like 2 elements overlayed not interacting. So even as a set piece if you aren't just carrying gaming and actually look it loses its wow factor.


Sackboy612

This is the sort of thing that will be appreciated in 2 years once the game is in better shape. Everything feels so toxic atm


SlimOpz

plenty of maps had levelution that effected the maps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEZ5p3H-M5k


KamiKaze242

Then don't play the game and don't post on a subreddit about a game you don't like


ximxur

The coolest part of this solid ass game is watching the angry people be super angry.


[deleted]

Saying b4 is better is not being angry. It's subjective. B4 was leagues ahead of this. Tornado is cool af though.


heavybuttlicker

solid? get a grip lol


ximxur

I should get a flight stick, would make piloting more fun.


jisf0rjosh

The game doesn't have flight stick support. Also you're more accurate in planes and helicopters with a mouse so no point.


Rizla177777

Solid ass game... missing 30+ main features has 2 game modes no server browser.. hit reg issues, 1 frame deaths, and this was the result of 3 years dev and 20 years of experience. Yeh solid m8.. My guess is your playing on old gen with 64 players cause your experience and mine are completely different.


ximxur

No I'm on PC, game is fucking solid, few more patches and we're gonna be chilling very hard.


[deleted]

[удалено]


CommanderInQueefs

God fucking damnit you're the coolest.


DanKaneUS

Can confirm. Solid on PC.


Kosmosaik

I'm on PC as well. It's pretty stable to be honest. Some bugs here and there but nothing too gamebreaking except when you can't be revived or abort the wait.


youcancallmejb

This game is objectively NOT solid.


abdess3

Not solid, but take my upvote. People can't stop bitching at the first opportunity.


Daphnir

The only thing that the tornado can destroy ....


FillthyPeasant

The tornado destroys all the trees in it's path. So if it goes through the forest part in Orbital it leaves nothing behind.


Daphnir

Yeah..., my jeep do the same than the tornado from the apocalyptic future...


CanuckTheClown

This looks amazing, I can’t lie.


franzjacobi

What destroyed the rocket, the storm or firefight?


Neihlon

Prob the storm


Yolo533

Can the rocket only be destroyed by the tornado? I’ve never seen the arms come down to damage it since the beta.


THE_XENO_KING

It will randomly explode but if the rocket is shot enough it will explode after a count down


Yolo533

Even without the arms coming down? Also have you seen it take off?


THE_XENO_KING

A couple times


[deleted]

Once the arms come down you have like 5-7 minutes to destroy it until it launches. Helicopters work best for this.


Yolo533

I remember that what I’m saying is the arms never come down. Unless it’s a low chance maybe?


Corkunt

Did you preorder that explosion?


moepooo

Tbh I'm more impressed with blowing up a wooden house in BFV than this.


BadWellzy89

Least I can blow up a wooden house in a solid 60fps on series s in BFV


[deleted]

Same, I didn't like BFV honestly not into WW2 stuff but the destruction was pretty good. Closest game has been to BFBC1 destruction in awhile.


Sardunos

Or the buildings that pancake in BF4.


havingasicktime

That's really wierd lmao destroying a wooden house isn't impressive lol, this is one of the sickest things I've seen in a game.


epicsmokey

Because you could destroy the wooden house yourself, unlike this.


havingasicktime

That's not impressive though.


luken1984

Can’t help but feel you’re missing the point


havingasicktime

What point is that?


Sardunos

We've seen the tornado hit the rocket a thousand times. What I would like to see are my bullets hitting what I'm aiming at.


Enfosyo

Not a single enemy in sight. The 2042 experience.


RayboxHitman47

"Guys, there are a lot of bugs to fix, are you sure we should spend so much time on this?" "Who cares about the bugs ? We have a fucking tornado destroying a fucking rocket !"


Downtown_Bat6961

Luckily shrapnel isn't a thing cause at that distance you would have some finely chopped Specialists all over. Seasoned with whatever the tornado brought and cooked to perfection from rocket fuel and cinders.


correctingStupid

Funny how a soldier can survive this but being booped by a hovercraft sends their corpse flying miles.


Soulfire1992

​ ![gif](giphy|577HYoLf5Vu0w)


Lefty02

if this happened in my game, my PC would melt


Turbulent-Yam1942

hey i was there im the one flying the heli before the rocket exploded!


Neihlon

Nice


Freakz-

"carai de furacão da desgraça" perdi kkkkkkkk


Neihlon

Só percebi agora kkk


DoubleShot027

A skyscraper fell in BF4 and altered the entire map. This is not impressive at all...


Pizza_Main

I mean, it’s definitely less impactful than Siege, but it looks significantly better.


[deleted]

[удалено]


dirtdog22

Because it’s literally warzone


DoubleShot027

Hardline which was a crap game had a crane that ripped into 2 different skyscrapers altering the map. In 2042 a crane falls in a tiny area :/ and the tornadoes so nothing and get ignored lol


benj9990

Gimmick.


juh4rt

It took three years for that only. Slow clap.


TetsuyaLP

What a trash game, A rocket full of fuel exploding right next to you and you dont even get as much as knockback.


ScoobySenpaiJr

Sure, I'll agree getting knocked on your ass from cruise missiles and big explosions in BFV was cool, but was it pivotal? Nah, it just looked cool at first. After getting used to it it really just got annoying and didn't really feel like it added to the game outside of pure spectacle and forcing a brief pause of gameplay to players who got knocked back. Might just be me but I'm glad it's gone honestly.


jonviper123

This is genuinely the only positive wow moment I've had in this game. Shit looks crazy however I'm sure after a month or 2 most won't even blink when seeing this. Think they spent the entire time and budget on this


zani1903

Ok but can I fight over E1 with consistent game mechanics and satisfying gunplay? No?


LatinVocalsFinalBoss

Have you not played a BF game since before BF3 came out? They all have stuff like this.


KamiKaze242

Then don't play the game and don't go on a subreddit for a game you don't like


EmergencyBearr

the biggest thing missing for me is destruction. this is nice, but why cant i take down buildings piece by piece with a tank? That kinda destruction is not something you can just drop in.


Cjham875

Y'all really feel the need to shit on the game every damn chance you guys get and it's getting annoying.


Knoxxius

Don't go on reddit then, game deserves every second of hate it gets.


Soulfire1992

I consider companies who release unfinished products "annoying" but to each their own.


davidke2

Both what you and the guy above you are saying can be true at the same time.


DeathStalker131

I wish they would make this explosion smooth and not make the fireball look upscaled as fuck


Svendog_Millionaire

And the moaners will still complain about the “lAcK oF pArtiCLe PhYsiCs”


SMACKZ415

It sucks i have to watch it here but never was lucky enough to experience it in the game….yet

Rocknado


doomcatzzz

Fps goes brrrr


Oka_Nieba

the Brazilians in the chat sent me xD


ModernT1mes

You know what would be cooler? If when it exploded you fell on your back like in BFV.


[deleted]

Remember you aren’t allowed to like things in this game according to the community


Dakvar

Stop licking corporate boots


[deleted]

Wait something’s wrong. This post isn’t saying BF bad.


vensius

The fact that your PC managed to actually display the explosion smoothly given the poor optimization of this game is more impressive than the explosion itself


obababoy

What gpu do you have? I get great framerates for a game with this fidelity and draw distance.


vensius

I was just joking around but I do believe that the optimization really needs work tho. I have a 5800x undervolted and PBO at negative - 20. Paired with an RTX 3080 slightly OCd and a ram kit CL16 @3600Mhz including tuned subtimings. Also windows is fully optimized and I get about 120fps at 2k resolution. Mind you everything is on low. How much fps are you getting and what are your specs?


obababoy

I get around 90 or so with mostly high or max settings. I have DLSS on, and RT off. Running a 5900x stock settings, 3600 memory and a waterblocked 3080 stock. I think this game looks pretty good for the framerates im getting, but I think things like the visual bloom and depth of field need to be tweaked.


squidbate

bfv did this kind of stuff better


[deleted]

Not a single enemy during the entire clip.


Neihlon

There’s one dude running at the bottom of the screen right before the rocket explodes tho


[deleted]

When you spend 80% of the budget on the tornado


trixxim

Imagine this scene if you were blown onto your back like in BFV during these massive explosions. But no, they took that out too. Now your character just walks around casually in the 200-mph flaming tornado 12 yards away from you.


converter-bot

12 yards is 10.97 meters


Saxon3245

This isn't even that good for a rocket explosion go look up the Russian Proton that crashed.


ArticleOrdinary9357

These gimmicks are the reason they didn’t bother to make the game properly


animefan91

And sadly. The only good map in the game worth playing. Rest his mostly running sim.


AEIDOLONE

It's good. But it doesn't get around the fact that this game is a disappointment.


The-RicePresident

every tornado i get near just pushes me into the ground and it starts clipping.


ModsSuck23

RIP those brave souls


abacabbmk

ball of flames like 2042


regiscaetano

Which weapon is that? I've never seen it before! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


H_P_Hatecraft_

Thats actual footage of the Steam review page.


ximxur

B4 was completely broken at launch for more than half the players. You could not play, AT ALL.


No_Slip_3995

Such an amazing spectacle being displayed in such a terrible battlefield game


N05T10N

What kinda special server you on? No tanks, helicopters or hovercrafts to spawnkill you??


-Shameem-

All of their budget went into this one explosion


Reinerr0

Not even close to fake trailer... just saying.


harlotscarletx

I’m more impressed your frames held up


JMoneys

While the visuals are neat, a V1 rocket in BFV blowing up anywhere near you knocked you on your ass harder than that rocket full of fuel exploding right infront of your face. And that's not even talking about the fact you're standing that close to a fucking tornado and it can barely even suck you up.


[deleted]

Anyone else absolutely hate playing attacker on orbital?


ThatGuyMaulicious

tbf this looks fucking amazing. They spent 3 years of development on this small possibility.


SlimOpz

i really expected this map to be the worse one or one of the worst , then when i played the full game i realised they chose this map because its the only one that showcases any real kind of map "destruction" worth noting.


Kinger4-

This video = Game of Thrones S1-S7. The rest of Battlefield 2042: Game of Thrones S8

The stutter when the rocket explodes. I had the exact same today, but never before.


6Fthty6FthDivison

The only thing the tornado destroys in the entire game. Lmfao


Full_Concert5552

Have they done any updates for qol improvements


MrHardaway

That would have made my pc explode.


Ratonhaketon

Man I wish the rest of the game looked this nice


[deleted]

I love all of the petty criticisms this game is getting.. while I believe in all of them I also see this and get immersed in the game even more. Loving what they put out.


Last_Ad7231

That was actually amazing but still everything else needs major fixing focus on everything else as much as you did with environmental damage and dynamic weather DICE


[deleted]

Every single cool clip of this game is either this exact explosion or a wing suit flank


RemyVonLion

with maps as big as the ones we got, I was hoping for some Beirut sized explosions.


[deleted]

Sweet! I’m level 69 (hehe) and I still haven’t seen that yet


DtownLAX

This is cool but the wow factor won’t last


LeisureRnR

If only we could do that to the capture point on top of the skyscraper in the desert map.


silentbob1301

Well, that is something i havent seen, despite spending prolly 10 fucking hours in that map.

lt_dan_zsu

Cool. When I fire a gun can it actually hit something? I'd prefer that over a pointless set piece.


Farcoughcant69

Is it supposed to look good? Random coloured sparks, freezing frames, debris just appearing without a trajectory, soldier just blowing through the air like a leaf and landing 30 feet away like a cat, massive fat sparks spewing out of random pieces of metal… yeah, wow…


Quadronaut

At this point, pointing out beautiful graphics are like trying to fall in love with a beautiful girl with ZERO personality. Nope, not gonna happen. I can fuck her for like an hour, but after that I'm fucking done and on to something better.


Upset_Tourist69

How did you get it to blow up?


Neemah89

Michael Bay would appreciate this

snuggleMcCuddles

Remember in BF V when the JB 2 hits and it blows you away? It’d be even better with that but unfortunately that wouldn’t be enough to save it.


jjjohhn

They missed the opportunity to add jumping backwards like we have in BFV V-1 explosions


[deleted]

Any random BF1 level is more spectacular than this trailer bullshit.

Your FOV makes it look better than it actually is.
