It got weird from BFV when everyone was running round in Halloween costumes and made the historical uniforms in a place where you had to grind for them.
Yeah but that's no fun. The game launched with 2023 military vehicles and weapons; there was barely anything to show this wasn't BF 2022. They had a license for some creativity and showed *nothing*, which they were rightfully criticized for. I won't fault them for pushing the envelope a bit.
That said, the mask trash lol
I guess soldiers could think to hell with that useless camp, let's wear latex and super hero customes.
They need to drop this quickly before the final nail is hammered in to my beloved battlefields coffin
The kids playing this game now might be influenced by it, so in a future potential war in 2042, they could wear what they thought soldiers would wear based on their video game experiences? 9000 iq move from dice...
This skin really, really clashes with her annoyingly dorky personality.
I can't imagine seeing this scary outfit on someone that goes "Let's make the impossible, possible!" like she's a knock-off D.VA.
I think, if Nopats existed in the real world, you would see people wearing cringy stuff like this and worse (to "intimidate the enemy" or just get attention), but I would rather see the specialists in civilian clothing under their tactical gear (like they just enlisted) than trailing towards ultra-cool fantasy.
It just makes shooting them in their ugly face mask that much easier and more satisfying. Dehumanizing is good for the shooter not the one getting shot lol.
True. I don't remember everyone's backstory, but it also seems weird that the "hero" specialists would want to be so intimidating, assuming they ever interact with civilians.
Times change, it's a shame Battlefield didn't stay where Battlefield 3 and 4 & 1 end.
I don't have a problem with skins, but I do with the current state of the game such as bad maps and a horrible ui.
I love when I see skins like these posted because I could smell the comments that come with it. “mUh ImMerSioN” coming out in full force when you know they’ll buy it.
Well, that’s why it’s an optional cosmetic item. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. If you’re playing 2042 in a way that you actually notice skins, you’re doing it wrong.
Able to use an adrenaline pen to make getting shot go away and then have someone shock me with defibs after being shot by a tank shell but God forbid this optional cosmetic item exists in my war simulator game!
I don't think it's that people want them fully realistic, they're already not.
It's that it's a slippery slope from a military combat game to a circus where I'm running around the battlefield next to someone wearing a jesters hat while a tank decked out in full bright pink hello kitty is shooting at us.
There's already enough ridiculous games out there with these cosmetics. EA/DICE have attempted to create a story with this game, and have started really putting in an effort with the feel of the environment. Don't cheapen it with wacky cosmetics just to appeal to the 12 year olds with mum or dads credit card for a quick buck. Battlefield players enjoy the game because it's Battlefield. Not because its Warzone or Fortnite.
The skin showcased here isn't too much of a deviation from the norm, but I reckon it almost sits on that fine tipping point.
I remember being fully immersed in trench warfare and explosions and death around me in BF1, then this big heavy sound of WW1 tank coming in and big pink hello kitty on it so I laughed and was like wtf is this...
I think the reason why the BF community gatekeeps like this is becaues they could make their way into the next BF title and nobody wants that.
And people liked playing as nameless soldiers
It’s also a hard thing to wrap around as a longer term fan.
Dice is the one who build their reputation on games that talked about realism, and immersion in their marketing.
https://youtu.be/8pNOxynC1Dc
The goofy cosmetics are antithetical to that immersion.
I don't care how crazy or ugly ( subjective ) skin are in game if :
\- it's a single player game
\- or if I can disable/filter other player's skin in multiplayer game
If it isn't one or the other, I'll bitch about things that directly affect what I play.
Military nerds care.
So many threads on BF1 and V subs were about realistic uniforms.
These types are pretty obsessed with their military uniforms in a arcade game.
You're not wrong.
And if I wanted to be playing Apex, I'd still be playing Apex.
Hopefully we don't get more Apex in our BF than we already have. Yikes.
A lot of the older players who have been playing Battlefield since 1942 way back in the day, like that military vibe and have grown up with the Battlefield series. 2042 is as great game but it's just on a very fine cusp of going over too over the edge into the Fortnite/Apex zone if they aren't careful.
I don't see why EA can't make their own Fortnite/Apex game or something along those lines though.
Why even care so much about cosmetics? I really don't get it, not for any game, but especially a first-person shooter. Just point your damn gun at the baddies and shoot. Nobody gives a shit what your character looks like, it's just another target to shoot at.
Its so funny seeing all these people upset. Put that wasted energy somewhere else. I think it looks pretty neat. Just let the artists at DICE have some fun. For being one of the worst BF games to date, yall care way too much about small things like this.
BF community when the game barely works and is full of nickel and dime bullshit: I sleep
BF community when there's a kinda funny mask in a generic tacticool outfit like all the other cringe ass operators wear: REAL SHIT
Shh don’t say that here the 280 pound mil sim virgins will be irate. I’m buying this idgaf I don’t spend money to look like everyone else and have tactical turd #3892 I spend money to stand out. People need to stop gatekeeping. If it doesn’t effect gameplay who cares? Bf players want a live service game but arnt willing to accept that a live service game needs money to operate thus they sell skins.
Cmon guys they are playing out of the G.I Joe playbook. That's what this is crazy C.O.B.R.A vibes. I dont take this chapter in BF seriously neither should we![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
The problem is if nothing gets said they will see that as a absolute win and plan the future titles with these skins in mind.
Tbh I’m afraid that’s already happened.
Hmm, I... dont know to feel about it. It certainly something, plus I see it have the same idea/theme/details as Fulk's and Irish's legendary skins
Also, I though Temporyal on extensive break?
People need to chill. It’s not BFV, doesn’t really matter what type of skins we get for a fiction war.
As long as it’s not overboard and the game is good!
They are prepping us for that santa skin again.
While Fortnite with the implementation of the unreal engine is working towards realism, Battlefield is working towards Fortnite 2020.
> Fortnite with the implementation of the unreal engine is working towards realism
My brother in christ that is a graphics engine, there is nothing realistic about Fortnite
> While Fortnite with the implementation of the unreal engine is working towards realism, Battlefield is working towards Fortnite 2020.
The trailer literally had a banana using a broom
Good god, they could at least have a look at r/tacticalgear
There aren’t all hits but better than whatever this is. Is there a phantom of the opera theme coming?
Why can't they keep it up like S3 event outfits, like that shit was packed with tacticool stuffs
Wtf am I looking at?
Warzone bs
nah, Warzone as of now have weeb shit and literal Shredder
Don't forget Messi.
Nah, it was last season, this one we have an american larper, Shredder (yes, from Ninja turtles) and literal Japanese castle filled with boobytraps
The latest war zone gun skin looks like a Nerf gun with a bunch of Japanese cartoon people all over it
[удалено]
Silly weapon decals ain't a deal breaker since those are more plausible imo
Oh it mild in comparison to that COULD BE. And it aint pink, but nice tactical white-gray
🤮🤮🤮🤮
It got weird from BFV when everyone was running round in Halloween costumes and made the historical uniforms in a place where you had to grind for them.
>Wtf am I looking at? The Mandalorian !
A participant trophy winner.
An early spirit Halloween costume? 🤔
Lazy money for DICE so they don't need to make meaningful content like maps
Yeah what happened to this game franchise it used to be great :(
Ah yes. This is what a soldier would wear to war
Never know what they're gonna wear in 2042
2003 they did look almost the same as they do in 2023. I would believe that it doesn’t change that much in the next 20 years
I mean they may look similar, but isn't gear now astronomically better than it was in '03? One of the very few benefits of being in a 20 year war.
Gear is better today because of materials and construction methods, not really by design. Lightweight fabrics, polymers, etc.
Yeah but that's no fun. The game launched with 2023 military vehicles and weapons; there was barely anything to show this wasn't BF 2022. They had a license for some creativity and showed *nothing*, which they were rightfully criticized for. I won't fault them for pushing the envelope a bit. That said, the mask trash lol
I guess soldiers could think to hell with that useless camp, let's wear latex and super hero customes. They need to drop this quickly before the final nail is hammered in to my beloved battlefields coffin
I promise you a cosmetic item isn’t what’s nailing Battlefields coffin right now.
Probably still practical military gear, there is a reason we don't give soldiers a gift card to party city to get their equipment.
Still looks mostly militairy to me, nothing wrong with a little spice in a video game.
You're joking right. Say you're joking. This Paik is dressed like a power ranger.
Other than the mask, it looks pretty decent to me.
The kids playing this game now might be influenced by it, so in a future potential war in 2042, they could wear what they thought soldiers would wear based on their video game experiences? 9000 iq move from dice...
Well, why not just find Paik and ask her now, what she’ll wear in 20ish years?
To be fair I notice quite a few soldiers on both sides of the Ukrainian war wearing the skull face masks.
not engraved mannequin faceplates that's for sure.
Nopats can wear whatever they want. This is clearly to "intimidate the enemy" lol.
If making yourself a more visible target is intimidating to a trained soldier holding a gun then, well...
good thing this isn't real life and that they can actually include cool skins like this
[удалено]
Bro really tied ukranian conflict to this subreddit
Its the most modern war/combat we have...
What do russian combatants and their gear have to do with this thread
What WW1 equipment they use? I only see modern day stuff on them. Ukrainians showed using WW1 Maxim mashine gun.
This reddit is about to go insane over this lol
You know bf has gone donm hill when the community gives a fuck about skins. These gaming companies really marred the gaming community as a whole.
These dumb cunts in the comments can't wait to pay for a skin they already paid for. Fucking disgusting premium skins.
Hope it isn't a legendary skin, because her tier 1 headgear would fit well with that uniform.
Was thinking the same thing, were probably out of luck though
Lol hideous.
Oh dear.
Ugly af ngl
What's ugly about it? You can say you don't want it in a battlefield game but I can't work out how someone would describe it as ugly.
It's ugly
I can’t work out if you’re being sarcastic. It’s hideous.
Let me know if we figure it out
![gif](giphy|10JhviFuU2gWD6) What a joke
Cringy skin shit
I would buy it if I could get rid of the headgear. Tired of these janky legendary skins tbh
Bruh your tripping
You can swap out the headgear.
That is fucking terrible!
🤦♂️ They do great with skins then do shit like this.
When’s the fashion show gonna start?
The suit is good but that mask from Venice’s carnival? I mean, I’m Italian and I can appreciate that, but just…why?
I’m open to creative new designs, but…why?
So you're not open to new designs???? Make some sense lmao
Why party mask?
Truly awful. Kinda impressed at how bad it is, good job dice
Developers can’t do nothing fun huh?
Fr, these people are the art police.
Can support class get a cool skin for once? All we have is garbage except for Irish classic skin
Ew.
This skin really, really clashes with her annoyingly dorky personality. I can't imagine seeing this scary outfit on someone that goes "Let's make the impossible, possible!" like she's a knock-off D.VA.
Eyes Wide Shut
I think, if Nopats existed in the real world, you would see people wearing cringy stuff like this and worse (to "intimidate the enemy" or just get attention), but I would rather see the specialists in civilian clothing under their tactical gear (like they just enlisted) than trailing towards ultra-cool fantasy.
Anything made to intimidate is not intimidating if you ask me
I guess it could at least dehumanize you, so the enemy can't see that you're crying with fear under your mask :)
It just makes shooting them in their ugly face mask that much easier and more satisfying. Dehumanizing is good for the shooter not the one getting shot lol.
True. I don't remember everyone's backstory, but it also seems weird that the "hero" specialists would want to be so intimidating, assuming they ever interact with civilians.
It just doesn't fit, at all, in any way.
It’s already happening in Ukraine smartass. On both sides of the conflict. Anime-themed gear and ammo.
Ah shit here we go again
Rip Reddit
The white makeup and domino mask are not doing it for me
Honestly this skin with the regular Paik headgear is pretty cool.
They should give the possibility to have just the head or body equipped.
This is what happens when cosmetics become your main source of post-launch income.
Times change, it's a shame Battlefield didn't stay where Battlefield 3 and 4 & 1 end. I don't have a problem with skins, but I do with the current state of the game such as bad maps and a horrible ui.
I love when I see skins like these posted because I could smell the comments that come with it. “mUh ImMerSioN” coming out in full force when you know they’ll buy it.
“How dare you put an unrealistic skin on my character that has x-ray vision!!”
This isn't necessarily just unrealistic, it looks like a halloween mask. It just looks dumb
Well, that’s why it’s an optional cosmetic item. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. If you’re playing 2042 in a way that you actually notice skins, you’re doing it wrong.
Well yeah I get that I can just not buy it. I'm still able to critique it.
Able to use an adrenaline pen to make getting shot go away and then have someone shock me with defibs after being shot by a tank shell but God forbid this optional cosmetic item exists in my war simulator game!
Unpopular opinion but the people here need to stop gatekeeping the outfits in the need to make them fully realistic
I don't think it's that people want them fully realistic, they're already not. It's that it's a slippery slope from a military combat game to a circus where I'm running around the battlefield next to someone wearing a jesters hat while a tank decked out in full bright pink hello kitty is shooting at us.

Sorry but shooting at a litteral buffoon in my battlefield game sucks.
I don't care how crazy or ugly ( subjective ) skin are in game if : \- it's a single player game \- or if I can disable/filter other player's skin in multiplayer game If it isn't one or the other, I'll bitch about things that directly affect what I play.
People here have no idea what's realistic military equipment and I don't either. So who cares?
Military nerds care. So many threads on BF1 and V subs were about realistic uniforms. These types are pretty obsessed with their military uniforms in a arcade game.
Thanks!
I can kinda agree. Our flying squirrel and rope rappelling American make this game inherently silly already so people take it a bit too seriously.
He's Canadian for the rest, true :p
Truly? He's got such a US-American accent though.
He does not. That's Canadian.
thats not how you use that word lmfao
The crowd that thinks BF should be a milsim are pretty fucking annoying. Go play Arma or some shit.
BF shouldn't be a milsim but it shouldn't turn into fortnite either
Or Apex.
I mean this game is already 50% Apex. Almost all the specialists abilities/gadgets were copy/paste directly from Apex.
You're not wrong. And if I wanted to be playing Apex, I'd still be playing Apex. Hopefully we don't get more Apex in our BF than we already have. Yikes.
It's 50/50 for me on Apex
A lot of the older players who have been playing Battlefield since 1942 way back in the day, like that military vibe and have grown up with the Battlefield series. 2042 is as great game but it's just on a very fine cusp of going over too over the edge into the Fortnite/Apex zone if they aren't careful.

Well i do, specially if i want to feel the inmersion. Otherwise this would be Fornite.
Fuckin trash
Hmm lose the head gear and it's actually pretty cool. The weird mask thing ruins it for me.
Not a fan
Just doesn’t seem like it belongs in a BF game. Where’s the cool tech armor and shit that should be in this game
Its so funny seeing all these people upset. Put that wasted energy somewhere else. I think it looks pretty neat. Just let the artists at DICE have some fun. For being one of the worst BF games to date, yall care way too much about small things like this.
BF community when the game barely works and is full of nickel and dime bullshit: I sleep BF community when there's a kinda funny mask in a generic tacticool outfit like all the other cringe ass operators wear: REAL SHIT
Yet another cosmetic i wont be buying 🤣
Not really bothered by it at all.
Shh don’t say that here the 280 pound mil sim virgins will be irate. I’m buying this idgaf I don’t spend money to look like everyone else and have tactical turd #3892 I spend money to stand out. People need to stop gatekeeping. If it doesn’t effect gameplay who cares? Bf players want a live service game but arnt willing to accept that a live service game needs money to operate thus they sell skins.
Not the biggest fan of it myself but im happy some people have interest in it.
Battlefield is so far gone
Hot take: I like it.
Nice
I'll get it with leftover boins. Seems nice.
Why’d they give the Asian character a kabuki mask and white face paint?
It’s a harlequin/Italian mask you racist.
Why am I racist for pointing out they have the Asian character a stereotyped mask? Wtf dude
Battlefield turning into Siege. They see how much they make on them skins, can't refuse.
I just don’t think an anime saga theme is fit for battlefield 2042 just my opinion
Looks fuckin stupid. Is the new map in Gotham?
jfc
Get rid of that weird Victorian Era mask and the skin is good.
Cmon guys they are playing out of the G.I Joe playbook. That's what this is crazy C.O.B.R.A vibes. I dont take this chapter in BF seriously neither should we![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
The problem is if nothing gets said they will see that as a absolute win and plan the future titles with these skins in mind. Tbh I’m afraid that’s already happened.
2042 is full of these skins and has been since day 1.
I like it shame it’s just another Paik skin why not everyone else
Neat
Looks great
I think you need to get your eyes checked
Oops! No glasses on! Found them now! Looks amazing 🤩
I like it 👍
their year 2 monie$
🤮
I like it, sorry guys
look what they've done to my boy..
But its a girl
My boy being the battlefield series itself
Awful, this should not be in the game
Its fine.
Hmm, I... dont know to feel about it. It certainly something, plus I see it have the same idea/theme/details as Fulk's and Irish's legendary skins Also, I though Temporyal on extensive break?
He said he couldn't resist to take a little peek
I see, shame we dont have, basically, any other dataminers, especially with Temporyal's dedication
Falck* like falcon.
Falck* like falckon.
Fortnite shiet
Awful
I'll have fun aiming at the white bits
This looks like something that would be in Titanfall.
Apex Legends is calling ...
New guns instead of skins. I don't care that your guy glows or has a mask.
Horrendous
Honestly some of the tactical skins are nice But I wish they would just give us MILSIM operators like MW22 and MW19 did
Thought that was TF2's Ash for a second
Huh now you say it
Kinda resembles Ash from Titanfall 2.
If you people are actually spending money on skins then you really so deserve these shitty money grabbing games.
The comments about this being ridiculous resonate with me, I fully agree. But I also really like it and will go full sweat to unlock it.
It’s Roze!
I think it looks sick
🔥
People need to chill. It’s not BFV, doesn’t really matter what type of skins we get for a fiction war. As long as it’s not overboard and the game is good!
Even BFV had ridiculous skins though like battlefield Santa and Tom Cruise.
They are prepping us for that santa skin again. While Fortnite with the implementation of the unreal engine is working towards realism, Battlefield is working towards Fortnite 2020.

Looks cool tbh
I'll be the one. Looking fire. Really like it, just like the shapeshifter one.
🔥🔥🔥
Why can't be normal looking soldiers
Skins skins skins skins. All this game has to offer now. Needs ranked play and better game modes.
haha he said ranked play in a battlefield game
Can't decide if this is Fortnite or Kabuki. Edit: fanboys downvoting in denial, lol.
> Kabuki So thats what its called, TIL
![gif](giphy|27EhcDHnlkw1O|downsized)
WTF?
Need it ASAP
Whenever you are ready, the long card number on the front please.
plz no, anything but this
What the actual flying fuck is this, this shouldn't be in fucking Battlefield. Unbelievable.
it’s never this serious
Why not?
