battlefield-2042

[mental delta]

Season 7 is the last one ?

[vocal tusk]

You literally just posted this haha

[violet otter]

Did you read the article that you linked?

[mental delta]

I haven't read it yet lol

[mental delta]

NO

https://tenor.com/view/arrete-de-sourir-soit-normal-mec-yann-moix-yann-moix-gif-24803907

[vocal tusk]

It indeed states that S7 is the last content for 2042. there will be further support via updates, events and bug fixes...but no more content

[violet otter]

Seems like a similar thing Halo infinite is doing

[mental delta]

Ha it's for the best lol, happy the finally move to next game

[vocal tusk]

I had guess that Motive were going to join the BF team when they assisted on the creation of Redacted.

[remote kiln]

...

[patent path]

well at least they could bring over the vault weapons

right

please

[vocal tusk]

What would you prefer. Some vault weapons for this game...or 10 extra weapons on launch for the next game. 😛

[toxic wigeon]

I am curious on how they will do previous content

Like battle passes

Lot of skins in those lol

[vocal tusk]

Probably nothing will be done...or maybe they will do some events in which you can earn past seasons skins/content again.

Like with redux

[mental delta]

Yeah it's definitely not how it works but I'd like second option

[vocal tusk]

Its wildly hyperbolic, yes. But its the general idea that continued work on this game only takes away from things in the next.

[next onyx]

I don't think making guns takes a whole lot of time.

[patent path]

I'd be happy with just 1:1, unbalanced ports of those guns from portal bc2 and bf3 to AOW so I can have some fun for the next few months until the next bf

[dusty sparrow]

it depends imo

[next onyx]

Close combat still makes it kill slower than the m5a3.

Base m5a3.

[summer lake]

It’s Joelover

Season 7 will be the last season of 2042.

[untold flower]

when me sal chaos and tep cant carry thats when you know our team is shit shit @robust vapor

[next onyx]

Update 8 will probably just be a content dump like they did with bf5.

Isn't motive pretty much visceral?

[split ember]

Welp....there it is.

Season 7 is the end.

[fossil trench]

Rest in Peace Battlefield 2042

You won’t be missed

I hope so, Way

2042 ending has been on the wall for a while now

I hope they just dump a bunch of unused content on us

[summer lake]

The last battle pass was unused content, it was practically confirmed

[patent path]

they can just bring the portal contents over to AOW

[dawn cedar]

season 4 was the last season, all of this has been bonus, which is fine

[hybrid flint]

i hope we get all of the portal guns in normal multiplayer.

[abstract glade]

lmao when the game got bearable, they quit

[fossil trench]

Lmao

[hybrid flint]

honestly I just bought this damn game. i feel like i got scammed and i only got it for 8 bucks

[quaint vector]

https://tenor.com/view/moment-of-silence-pay-respect-rip-rest-in-peace-bow-gif-15963301

[novel reef]

lmao, glad i didn't buy this game

[patent path]

? you can still play the game after the new one comes out, you know that right?

[next onyx]

Oh I finally read that wow. It's official huh.

[toxic wigeon]

It’s been bearable since season 4 imo

[hybrid flint]

servers are dead rn

[next onyx]

Doesn't hurt like bf5.

Isn't it morning over in the us?

[woven sonnet]

wdym 8$ is a good deal

[toxic wigeon]

Bf5 is way worse

[fossil trench]

I don’t think anyone would want to when you can just play older titles now

[next isle]

[novel reef]

gamepass is even better

[toxic wigeon]

At least 2042 had updates lol

[next onyx]

Bf5 wasn't even as bad as 2042.

[hybrid flint]

had worse marketting but was a better game.

[low timber]

But still has about the same amount of time between the two titles

[elfin coral]

Agreed

[toxic wigeon]

I mean cancelling wise

[dawn cedar]

some of yall so unhappy yet yap here every single day lol

[fossil trench]

The only thing that kept me playing battlefield 2042 was FOMO. Literally

[next onyx]

Oh you mean how things abruptly ended huh.

[hybrid flint]

hoping for more portal guns that's about all i want

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah

[hybrid flint]

re-release bf4 as a f2p game and give it updates

[toxic wigeon]

Same, I had all the battle passes and events complete until season 6

[next onyx]

Yeah bf5 got the shittiest end that way.

[toxic wigeon]

I just got burnt out and quit

Didn’t even play season 6 for more than 2 weeks

[plush heart]

well that's interesting to see

the direction they're going with this game

[patent path]

no they aren't

[faint hare]

Rip bf2042

[hybrid flint]

was just trying to get into a 64 player server and there were 12 on each team

that feels dead to me

[dawn cedar]

bf5 gameplay wise was terrible, just non stop smoke spam everywhere, and everyone blended into the environment with the desaturated colors

[next onyx]

Medic smoke spam yes.

[vocal tusk]

I find BFV really annoying to play comapred to 2042. It has better maps and more varied combat/movement. But I hate how 95% of the weapons are just unusable crap (Competitive play wise)

[amber kelp]

damn I thought theyd still do one more season. Gonna have a year of no revenue from the franchise?

[solar tinsel]

We knew 2042 was going to end soon, Im more a bit worried that the next BF is throwing ANOTHER studio at the game. How many studios is too much? 2042 suffered from lack of consistent vision, does so many studios risk the same fr the next title?

[next onyx]

95% of the weapons unusable what.

[hybrid flint]

it's a publisher issue not a dev issue

[vocal tusk]

Yes like all the SMGs are useless

[hybrid flint]

publishers are ruining games

[full burrow]

7 seasons could be considered 7 seasons too many if we just stuck to normal battlefield ways

[next onyx]

The suomi, thompson, type 2 a and grease gun ruined people.

You can use smoke and infinite heals to break through and ruin people.

[toxic wigeon]

Well they are trying to make a “Battlefield Universe”

[hybrid flint]

I'm probably never going to buy an EA game on release ever again. I'm always going to wait to see if the game is actually worth my time and money.

[amber kelp]

SMGs arent bad bu they suffer the most from spread to recoil

[toxic wigeon]

So I assume that there is going to be multiple different projects

[snow crag]

It's the end for 2042

[next onyx]

Almost all the lmgs were good. Bar the type 97. That thing was horrid.

[hybrid flint]

I pre ordered 3 4 and 1 but after 5 I stopped buying them on release.

[granite island]

No season 8 rip

[solar tinsel]

but what does that look like? Seperate games? Do games now feel different? Do modes feel different? IMO in order to build a universe, you need a good game first 😆

[amber kelp]

TBH, just judge by the beta.
Every time people say "oooh its a beta you cant judge it" and every time the launch has been reflective of the beta

[patent path]

2042 currently has the biggest playerbase among the active bf games, so if you can't find a full lobby it's probably a you issue

[toxic wigeon]

I’m assuming they are trying to copy Call of Duty

[patent path]

just took me 5 seconds to find a full 64p lobby

[novel reef]

bf funeral when

[toxic wigeon]

With different studios responsible for different things

[vocal tusk]

There is next to no reason to pre-order anyway...just get a free trial of EA play when there is a beta...then pay 6.99 for the month the game releases lmao

[hybrid flint]

BF4 beta was okay but the bf4 launch was awful

[amber kelp]

really? Heh.

[solar tinsel]

Yeah, that's my concern. It risks feeling piecemeal, and 2042 suffered because it didn't have a coherent vision

[next onyx]

You're in Europe in a different time zone.

[hybrid flint]

the bf4 launch was still better by miles than the 2042 launch though.

[low timber]

What annoys me is that this is the second most futuristic BF game (2142 being the most) and still the amount of new gadgets added is just 5, and all of them aren’t futuristic at all

1. A smoke launcher
2. A explosive launcher
3. Medical pouch
4. Ammo pouch
5. Rocket launcher

[next onyx]

They were both pretty shit.

Romcket

[bitter mulch]

damn, so thats it?

[amber kelp]

I mean it is only 20 years out

[vocal tusk]

Thats because BF4 was a coherant game...which unfortunately had a lot of bugs on release.

[solar tinsel]

yeah that was a letdown for me too, that said, 20 years isn't that far from now ha

[next onyx]

To be fair Marse rockets will always be good.

[dawn cedar]

you are hella joking or you didnt actually play bf4 launch lol

[bitter mulch]

its still 1, 5 year to the next game

[patent path]

yeah so it's not an issue with the game lol

[hybrid flint]

I absolutely did

BC2 vet here.

[white sparrow]

Better than 2042 launch

[vocal tusk]

I highly doubt we will see another BF game inside 2 years.

[low timber]

Like they could’ve at least given us a decoy that BF4 and 2142 had

[dawn cedar]

bf4 servers were literally unplayable for the first 2 weeks

[patent path]

lmao no the bf4 launch wasn't better than 2042 at launch, you couldn't even play bf4 at launch

[vocal tusk]

Although RE has been essentially working on whats coming next for 18 months already (Most likely)

[white sparrow]

So? 2042 was unplayable for me for a year

The maps sucked

[hybrid flint]

I didn't have as many issues personally as most people did.

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, on PC...BF4 wasnt playable on launch

[amber kelp]

do you mean a 2 year dev cycle or a release in the next 2 years?

[vocal tusk]

You could barely play a round without the game/server crashing

[white sparrow]

Bf4 fixed itself quick tho, 2042 is still in fixing mode

[dawn cedar]

dosnt mean it wasnt a giant mess because you specifically had no issues

[lavish stag]

Noooooo

[dawn cedar]

quick??? what dreamland are you living in lmao

[hybrid flint]

I think the issue for me with the bf4 launch was that the game launched with plenty of content, even if it was a buggy mess. meanwhile 2042 had like ... No content.

[hybrid flint]

calm tf down

[fossil trench]

We never got persistent servers on AOW lol

[hybrid flint]

lol

[vocal tusk]

I mean that I doubt we will see another BF game until at least 2 years from now (If not more)

[white sparrow]

Exactly

[solar tinsel]

mostly cause, aside from server issues, BF4 was a good *game *at launch.

[next onyx]

Yeah bf4 had a decent foundation. 2042 didn't.

[hybrid flint]

i remember 4 fondly because it actually felt like a semi finished game content wise

[elfin coral]

Plus the game the just sucks in general. So fucking boring

[lavish stag]

They can’t leave 2042 yet, or end the season 7… I haven’t played yet 😭😭😭

[white sparrow]

2042 they said screw platoons, and competitive players

[hybrid flint]

2042 was horrible

[amber kelp]

No thats way too long. That would be what? 5 years in the oven? Its probably 2025

[white sparrow]

They focused on getting cod players into the game

[next onyx]

Battlefields never been competitive.

[white sparrow]

Lies

U never played competitive

[next onyx]

I have.

[amber kelp]

cause noone does

[next onyx]

The game isn't built around it.

[white sparrow]

In what battlefield

[hybrid flint]

remember when battlefield went toe to toe with cod?..... those were the days........

[next onyx]

Bf5.

[lavish stag]

Ngl 2042 had its moments

[solar tinsel]

Honestly I am fine with BF taking a hiatus, it needs a refresh. I dont think shareholders are ok with that though,sadly

[white sparrow]

2042 doesn't exist for comp, every other one did

Is what I'm saying

[fossil trench]

“Hey guys, let’s wait until 3 weeks after the season launch to announce that we’re ending support, so that we can get that BP money”

[lavish stag]

Idk why u guys saying bf was competitive

It’s not

[cosmic dragon]

2042 existed unfourtunatly (icant wsplel_)

[torpid wadi]

Now both playerbases are unhappy

[white sparrow]

It was

2042 isnt

[next onyx]

Yeah battlefields never been competitive in general.

[solar tinsel]

Yeah 2042 had competitive modes, but it's never been really a truly e-sports/competitive environment

[lavish stag]

Yea

[cosmic dragon]

migrate to battlebit

[white sparrow]

It's been competitive but 2042 killed it

[patent path]

they tried with bf1 incursion then killed it before it even got anywhere

[toxic wigeon]

Battlebit lmao

[amber kelp]

If its 5 years thats when it goes from enough time to dev hell.

[merry heart]

DICE please bring back the SUAV PLEASE

[next onyx]

They at least tried.

[torpid wadi]

That won’t work for the console poors

[hard geyser]

Who's ready to not buy the next battlefield until it's $10

[solar tinsel]

Thats assuming it had 5 GOOD years of development, 2 of those years was probably a hot mess and barely any susbtantive progress

[fossil trench]

I fear for the next game

[merry heart]

Battlebutt

[dawn cedar]

ill buy it on release just for you

[arctic grove]

And NOW Battlefield pretends to be COD

[merry heart]

Battlebutt

[patent path]

I'm preordering the next bf the moment that option is available

[toxic wigeon]

lol

I’m not preordering

But I don’t preorder games anymore

Last game I did was destiny 2

[lavish stag]

Wait did even they release the stadium yet

[next onyx]

Next game will probably be buggy as fuck with a shit dev cycle.

[arctic grove]

waste of money

[toxic wigeon]

Which I didn’t even hate

[torpid wadi]

I have no doubts, probably the most expensive option too eh

[next onyx]

Not yet vik.

[toxic wigeon]

But I just don’t care enough to preorder

[patent path]

you know it baby

[amber kelp]

If its a hot mess from the beginning then more time can only do so much. If your foundations are sludge you gotta just scrap and restart

[fossil trench]

I preordered BFV and 2042. It’s about time I learn my lesson

[cosmic dragon]

i love spending 110 quid on a game that underdelivers on every single aspect and is now getting its support dropped for some game that is gonna be just as bad if now worse than this one

[next onyx]

Do you feel genuinely nothing from 2042's development ending? Just curious.

Cause I ain't feeling shit.

[torpid wadi]

Cats has a thing for it

[vocal tusk]

I expect most games to have bugs...its next to impossible to not have bugs in games like these, especially MP games. I just hope the core of the next game...and the maps are good from release.

[cosmic dragon]

nah im just gonna pirate shit

save money

[toxic wigeon]

Not really right now because I expected it

[torpid wadi]

If I see him talking about buying a game I know to avoid it

[toxic wigeon]

Was more surprised that the game got extra seasons

[cosmic dragon]

buy smaller games because those are actually good

[lavish stag]

I’m actually sad

[toxic wigeon]

But since they were announcing the seasons one by one

I figured it was inevitable

[torpid wadi]

Hi actually sad

[next onyx]

Bugs are inevitable but you know. The base game better not be dog shit and have you encounter such issues every god damn hour.

[merry heart]

Not gonna lie I kinda hate how investors and EA pressure Devs to speed up the development process of a game.

[arctic grove]

Well I am sad that season 7 is the last one for the underrated great battlefield 2042

[lavish stag]

Hi ☺️

[amber kelp]

HONK IF 2042 IS DEAD

[cosmic dragon]

great? i have 600 hours and i still dont like this game all that much

its like rust

i play it

[next onyx]

Hey guys let's push them.
also them: why does no one like our game.

[cosmic dragon]

i dont like it tho

[amber kelp]

they had 3 years. 2042 is an organizational failure, not a time crunch

[vocal tusk]

I think most people are surprised it was supported/got new content for as long as it did.

IMO, they needed to support this game for a longer perceived time than was expected tho. Especially after how prematurely players thought that support for BFV ended.

[quiet shell]

Damn its finally over

[low timber]

Remember how S1 started 7-8 months after release?

[lavish stag]

At least they now have like 1 year to perfect their next one

[vocal tusk]

3 years is not a long time for a games development lol

[cosmic dragon]

silksong...

[lavish stag]

And how long season 7 took

[low timber]

Could’ve fit 2 seasons in that time

[merry heart]

I thnk it was both because 3 years is kind of not enough honestly.

[low timber]

19 weeks

[next isle]

Making games is hard

[lavish stag]

Yea

[patent path]

time to buy EA shares

[vocal tusk]

Most people have no clue what it takes to make games tho, so I can see why some would think 3 years was a long time 😄

[merry heart]

Wouldn't that be adding to the problem?

[toxic wigeon]

This basically, I figured they would have extra seasons after 4 around that time because they needed people to get some trust back and that was a good way to.

[next onyx]

I wouldn't doubt it at all to be honest. I just wish dice got the time they needed.

[amber kelp]

its enough for the scale that the game had, and the game's issues were very fundamental to most of its design.
Had 2042 had 4 years it would still be a mess. The longer a software project is in development, the harder and more expensive it is to make changes to said software.

[vocal tusk]

You cant know what scale or scope this game had tho

[slow tulip]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/whats-ahead-2042

[patent path]

it will be funni

[slow tulip]

Dead?

[amber kelp]

I dont need to. Because despite the small scale, the issues are in the foundation

[merry heart]

Like the investors?

[tender folio]

what kind of chaos is going on now? 😂

[vocal tusk]

None

[next onyx]

Good question.

[lavish stag]

Ik these complainers start yapping as if it takes 1 sec to fix the game. I’m been working on a model and it’s been taken me like 8 months now

[next onyx]

No idea.

[next isle]

Sleeping

[torpid wadi]

Christ dell give it at least 5 minutes

[slow tulip]

The cycle of the battlefield series. Deliver a terrible game at launch and make it better at the end

[amber kelp]

"more time to cook" works for indie games with small dev teams. But for a large scale project like this, the need to organize and maintain a vision among hundreds of people requires dilligent and strict planning. If that planning fails, the software fails.

[slow tulip]

Bf2042 is still a bad game

[toxic wigeon]

Dude I know has been making a Vietnam game for 4 years

He’s a solo dev

[patent path]

time for the "2042 was underrated and died too soon" song guys

[robust vapor]

idk what's going on with EA and DICE but damn man

[patent path]

better rehearse it for the release

[next isle]

the cycle continues

[robust vapor]

Am here expecting a Season 8

[vocal tusk]

I dont think that will be a thing. 2042 will be a case of "What could have been"

[merry heart]

We said the same thing for BF5 not gonna lie.

[next onyx]

Do you actually play games or do you parrot information and opinions.

[patent path]

yeah lmao

[torpid wadi]

Annnnd a one annnnd two annnd a one two three

[next onyx]

I'll stand by that bf5 wasn't that bad as people made it out to be.

It had a lot of issues and I won't deny.

[dawn cedar]

thats not really how it works in large production tho, once a game ships, a lot of people get swapped to the next project. I think with 2042 they realize that a long standing GAAS battlefield dosnt really work how they thought it would. so there will probably be a more frequent cycle

[torpid wadi]

BfV had shitty marketing

[amber kelp]

Investors play a part in bad design decisions, specialists and skins are obvious examples. But even without those 42 has serious problems and it does not seem evicent to me that EA or corporate meddling are the cause.
The reports of lack of experience with frostbite ring much more true for me, as that can fuck up the foundation of the game hard

[slow tulip]

I have 250 hours in BF2042. It's certainly better compared to it's launch. There are so many things that are still missing

[next onyx]

Marketing, live service, technical issues were the big three issues.

[dawn cedar]

It only became good when the pacific campaign dropped tbh

[torpid wadi]

No eastern front

[amber kelp]

I am talking about development before launch

[toxic wigeon]

I liked BfV but I got burnt out really quick

[torpid wadi]

All very sad things

[toxic wigeon]

Also something felt off about it

[torpid wadi]

Hooo I see someone sent many words

[toxic wigeon]

I had fun with it though

[patent path]

[next onyx]

Hey you said something original. Took you a while.

[toxic wigeon]

Mainly the vehicles

Damn they were fun in V

[torpid wadi]

That’s the truth

[next onyx]

2700 hours I don't want to ever touch the game again.

[amber kelp]

the chatbot is learning. Keep interacting with it and it will get closer to beating the turing test

[next onyx]

2700 fucking hours.

[toxic wigeon]

lol damn

[next onyx]

I enjoyed the game but I am done.

[toxic wigeon]

I never play games that long

[next onyx]

Me neither.

[next isle]

I played the game for the first time in over a year yesterday, and today they announced the death. Sus

[toxic wigeon]

Only game I might have over 1000 hours in Minecraft

[hard geyser]

Thanks man gotta get a sucker somehow lol

[next onyx]

I grinded to rank 500 and stopped playing.

[slow tulip]

Are we gonna praise bf2042 when the next battlefield launches?

[amber kelp]

no

[vocal tusk]

No

[toxic wigeon]

Most I don’t play too long

[next onyx]

Well no I didn't stop playing immediately.

[torpid wadi]

Can’t think of a game I’d have that many hours in

[patent path]

now play apex next so we can have titanfall 3

[next onyx]

But I played for a good while.

[hard geyser]

I was one with 2042 and dropping it now is a fuck you it feels lol

[slow tulip]

We did for BF4, Hardline, BF5. Those weren't received very well at launch

[hard geyser]

I just wanted 8 seasons and some mapssas

[next isle]

that will be $1399 thank you

[errant bison]

i mean how can it get any worse

[patent path]

that much just to play Apex is completely understandable

[amber kelp]

respawn announces apex2

[torpid wadi]

Of course we will dell, it’s just the natural course of bf

[dawn cedar]

apex with its $900 heriloom cosmetics xd

[amber kelp]

who is "we"
5 is ass

[hard geyser]

We had a decent amount of guns. And then we didn't get to the second half of s7 before this announcement 😭

[torpid wadi]

Titanfall community found hanging from a ceiling fan

[vocal tusk]

I think credit should be given when its due tho...especially to the devs of the game who helped turn what looked like an irredeemable mess (2042 at launch) into what it currently is now (A decently playable game...lacking in content)

[slow tulip]

We are doing it since bf2042 launched

[toxic wigeon]

Eh, it’s better to announce it early

[dawn cedar]

as is tradition :^)

[toxic wigeon]

If you announce it after the last content drop it’s kind of bad I guess

[dawn cedar]

current game sucks, previous game was the best

rinse and repeat

[toxic wigeon]

But at least we are aware that it’s over now lol

[amber kelp]

no
The people defending 5 are the same poeple who defended 5 while 5 was out

[hard geyser]

Well yeah credit to the devs for sure! It just sucks that unless you're a new player I don't think this next battlefield does good at all unless it just has like a helldiver's effect

[next onyx]

I wonder what will happen now though cause surely they have a bunch of guns they're still meaning to implement.

[vocal tusk]

Update 7.2 still is adding the stadium map, a new vehicle and new weapon

[torpid wadi]

Dice abandoned x battlefield just as it was getting good!

[patent path]

lol no I loved bf5 when it was out, I started hating it when they kept messing up

[slow tulip]

Real question can the next battlefield be actually worse than BF2042?

[next onyx]

The Aug fo example.

[amber kelp]

surely they have a bunch of guns they're still meaning to implement.

[torpid wadi]

I can’t believe they stopped support for x battlefield for y battlefield

[slow tulip]

How can it be? Full COD copy?

[hard geyser]

Yes lol

Who knows but yes

[vocal tusk]

Bro here talking to himself lmao

[dire hawk]

yeaaah, but a 1 year and a half doing nothing on Battlefield will be rough

[next onyx]

What part of fucking cod do people speak about.

[errant bison]

I just hope dice learned its lesson in regards to map design, game and gunplay from 2042

[violet otter]

At launch state no I don't think it could

[torpid wadi]

The next battlefield will just be called field and will actually be a farming game

[patent path]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-on-cod-cod-fish-shrimple-gif-26713800

[amber kelp]

welcome to the world of Battlefield 6
This time it is a looter shooter! Featuring a whopping 5 maps and no classes!

[next onyx]

Holy fuck me cunt actually say something original. You can do it.

[dire hawk]

you know you're so original

[slow tulip]

It took the most time compared to the previous entries. So there is very little chance for that

[amber kelp]

deal

[hard geyser]

I wonder if they start marketing the new bf this year

[next onyx]

You know I wouldn't mind it if they gave us a map every month during a season.

[vocal tusk]

No

[patent path]

https://tenor.com/view/nerd-you-are-a-nerd-geek-dork-no-social-skills-gif-27276712

[hard geyser]

How about paid premium honestly

[slow tulip]

The next battlefield is possibly coming with a f2p battle royal. Which BF2042 was supposed to be

[dire hawk]

I wouldn't mind being a billionaire

[torpid wadi]

I was hoping for a month every week personally

[violet otter]

Time spent though does not mean the project was handled well.

[torpid wadi]

I can’t wait for ai designed maps

[next onyx]

Every week would be.. eh.

[amber kelp]

hb a week every day?

[patent path]

guys, open world bf with farming and hunger & thirst system

[errant bison]

gotta get those crops to the objective

[torpid wadi]

I dun goofed

[vocal tusk]

what I wouldnt mind is weekly rotations of map playlists

[violet otter]

Palfield 2242

[torpid wadi]

With Fortnite style graphics

[royal swan]

Damn no season 8. So we didn't get even a full year 2 of content

[slow tulip]

Apexfield

[royal swan]

Lame

[vocal tusk]

Like for example...if we had the maps of BF3...a weekly playlist that just matchmakes you into a persistent server of all the close quarters maps.

[slow tulip]

They should bring portal to the next battlefield. That is something made BF2042 fun

[errant bison]

i would honestly like to know how many people worked on 2042 during s6 and s7. Cant be more than 3-4 people

[toxic wigeon]

No

[jaunty fjord]

Turing point(X)
Turing dead(✓)

[cosmic dragon]

They ruined it before it even had a chance

[untold flower]

yeah those mastery farms and battle pass xp farms were fire

[violet otter]

I hope they don't tbh

[toxic wigeon]

Portal wasn’t necessary

[next onyx]

One good thing about portal were the weapons.

[amber kelp]

probably more than you would expect

[toxic wigeon]

I like the idea of portal but I’d rather have new stuff

[next onyx]

And honestly.

[vocal tusk]

Portal is the only thing that allowed communities to continue to play this game. Anyone who says portal was unnecessary is dumb.

[jaunty fjord]

Finally 2042's end point

[slow tulip]

So did hazard zone

[cosmic dragon]

I doubt it considering most of the cosmetics are cheap ass reskins of already free cosmetics

[slow tulip]

Portal hardly received any content

[toxic wigeon]

I mean when the game was being developed

[azure schooner]

You know what is dumb? splitting your little playerbase between different modes.

[cosmic dragon]

It didn’t receive any

[amber kelp]

well they werent making it easy for them with the whole "servers die when empty" thing

[toxic wigeon]

I think they should have focused the devs on that mode to the main game

[torpid wadi]

Falck got done dirty

[toxic wigeon]

But I’m not sure how the game got developed

[vocal tusk]

Portal is not just past games maps. Portal is the entire backend for custom mode creation...and community servers

[toxic wigeon]

So maybe I’m wrong

[cosmic dragon]

But it was so half assed

[tidal trail]

Season 7 is the last season

[amber kelp]

cool in theory but have you seen what people actually did with the portal browser? 🤢

[azure schooner]

dedicated servers > portal

[cosmic dragon]

I had more fun making paper airplanes than playing on portal

[next onyx]

Only thing that's obvious is that this game needed another fucking year of development.

[vocal tusk]

IMO it wasnt. Portal is far more feature complete right now versus even all out warfare

[robust vapor]

i'm trying to find the answer to this

[errant bison]

I mean for the map maybe but lets be real here 3 guns and a map made out of reused assets isnt a lot. Ig for the textures etc there were more people involved but as a whole? After 6 month?

[robust vapor]

like come on i just wanted to fly

[cosmic dragon]

All of them are just xp farms and shitty milsims

[errant bison]

Sorry it isnt a lot

[untold flower]

bruh why play now

i already got off

[cosmic dragon]

Stupid vehicle limit

[robust vapor]

bruh

bruh

[untold flower]

i was squading with tep and the rest

[robust vapor]

was playing another game for raid

[violet otter]

I think I just preferred having a normal server browser for the main game and rented servers like the other games

[hard geyser]

I just rly hope the next one is a killer. I'm talking like full the finals destruction with buildings like bf4. Only way id get excited again for bf

[amber kelp]

its not, but still probably more manhours than you'd expect.
Even conceptually simple things can require a fuckload of overhead and meeting just to keep the books straight

[cosmic dragon]

Don’t bother

It’s gonna be shit

All remaining good devs have moved on to actually good games

[vocal tusk]

I also preferred that. But All of this game should have just been built with what portal used.

[hard geyser]

I think it's possible.

[rose fiber]

Before 2042 launched I was under the impression that Portal will get more older titles

[hard geyser]

They have a lot of inspiration to watch over the last 2 years. Should help

[vocal tusk]

Finals destruction isnt possible at the scale of BF

[cosmic dragon]

Ask battlebit

They did it

[vocal tusk]

there is a reason Finals player count is so low

[azure schooner]

it is possible, just not with a game engine from 20th century

[amber kelp]

They use voxels to do it.

[errant bison]

Ig if 2042 had a normal development window and was not developed in such short period of time it would have received more stuff

[cosmic dragon]

With 254 player matches ongoing at the same time

[vocal tusk]

Bro come on...battle bit cant even hide player icons cos it halfs the games performance...dont talk to me about battlebit

[errant bison]

The idea is good after all

[cosmic dragon]

I mean it’s way better than 2042

[vocal tusk]

It is not lol

[hard geyser]

True but even 10 people doesn't feel too bad. But yeah the maps on bf are a lil bigger and way more players I forgot TBH lol

[vocal tusk]

Its just a different game

[cosmic dragon]

Shit actually delivered on content

[vocal tusk]

If you prefer it, power to you

[toxic wigeon]

Because there are too many shooters on the market

[cosmic dragon]

It was made by 3 people

[toxic wigeon]

If you notice how the game industry rn is

[slow tulip]

The finals is more alive than BF2042

[toxic wigeon]

Mainly fps

[azure schooner]

its been made for 7 years tho

[amber kelp]

yeah. And it runs on a toaster, because they use voxels. Voxels are super easy to run and simulate, but they cant look much more detailsed than BBR.
BBR makes a big tradeoff that BF cannot

[toxic wigeon]

A game will get popular for a month and fall off the face of the earth

[vocal tusk]

Im talking about in game players per server/game.

[toxic wigeon]

Ah

[slow tulip]

There is also The delta Force Hawk ops game that is trying to be BF2042

It's seems like BF and Cod combined

[toxic wigeon]

Like all these smaller studio fps games die out within a few months

Battlebit, finals, that one halo portal game I can’t remember the name, and probably many others

[cosmic dragon]

im just saying if 3 people can still pull it off with 250 players in a match at once then battlefield should be able to do it too

[amber kelp]

the market is oversatturated

[vocal tusk]

I dont think its all that saturated TBH.

[slow tulip]

Halo infinite is also doing well

[amber kelp]

You miss the point. The only reason they can run that is because they make this tradeoff and gut all graphics.
"more manpower" does not change the fact that is conceptually undoable with any known physics engine

[silk jasper]

wahahhahaa

[hard geyser]

halo infinite is kinda setting its self up like halo mcc where they shouldn't have to do too much. was jkinda hoping portal would do that here.

[cosmic dragon]

i know but battlefield 5 pretty much done it

[rose fiber]

I don't understand people calling certain titles dead games just because they lost 50-90% of concurrent players since launch while that number still remains in at least couple of thousands. Imo as long as you don't have problem finding a match it's fine

[silk jasper]

7 total maps

[amber kelp]

bfv is not nearly as destructive as BattleBit remastered

[full burrow]

number of players in a match doesnt mean shit if maps are bad and you have no way to ensure a good disribution of players across the map

[vocal tusk]

Its not even properly doable in the engine they use. Hence why there are so many weird bugs and glitches in that game.

[hard geyser]

id rather have 64 players if we can get a lot of destruction

[cosmic dragon]

it still managed to pull of destruction better than 2042

[amber kelp]

IIRC bf2042 hits issues with the entity limit right? Thats why it only has good destruction on like haven

[vocal tusk]

Like imagine a BF game that when you destroy a building it just sunk into the ground and faded out. EA/DICE would be laughed at.

[pliant nexus]

I’d like the next BF to feel more grounded, more mil-sim, and I’d like players to have dedicated roles that mean something

[hard geyser]

64 ppl on breakthrough feels amazing on good maps

[amber kelp]

It did, yes.
2042 is a crash-burn of software engineering

[vocal tusk]

I hope by milsim you mean its a grounded class based military shooter. lol

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah you don’t really want a Milsim lol

[pliant nexus]

Yea. How BF 4 felt

[cosmic dragon]

bro means arma 3 lmao

[toxic wigeon]

Not sure why people think that bf should be Milsim

[untold flower]

battlebit is fun but why are we comparing it with 2042 when they are so different outside outside of the core game modes and class system

[cosmic dragon]

more like an arcade shooter

[toxic wigeon]

But bf is the closest on consoles I guess

[untold flower]

battlebit sound system is fucking ass tho

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, BF3/4 style military shooters FTW

[amber kelp]

Hell Let Loose (though that game is dogshit)

[next onyx]

God it's dogshit.

[hard geyser]

battlebit sound is why i dont play it. its so bad

[pliant nexus]

I like it

[chilly jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/battlefield-hardline-couch-warfare-gif-25599252

[hard geyser]

that will make u appreciate 2042s audio lol

[vocal tusk]

Class and faction based also. 😄

[untold flower]

real

[amber kelp]

Youre an xbox player, so thats all you got for these types of games.
HLL could have been so much better

[untold flower]

the silence when you spawn 300m away from the gunfight is even worse

[cosmic dragon]

ive had more fun with battlebit than 2042

[toxic wigeon]

When I played on console it was basically the closest Milsim because of 4 lol

[hard geyser]

hopefully with their next big update theyre doing it fixes a lot of the issues

[pliant nexus]

I want the guns to feel more weighty, along with movement, if that makes sense

[patent path]

I literally stopped playing because of how garbage it is

[toxic wigeon]

I didn’t like Battlebit

[stone cradle]

I woke up to the same bad news I had back in 2020 with BFV

[toxic wigeon]

It felt like it was trying to be different things

[patent path]

it gives me massive headache

[toxic wigeon]

Like cod, bf, and squad at the same time

[hard geyser]

honestly they fix the audio by a lot it was pretty fun.

[untold flower]

i still like battlebit quite a fair bit its not too bad but i pretty much only play it when i cant find matches on 2042

[pliant nexus]

Yea, and ps5. I’ve not experienced what’s on PC

[vocal tusk]

One thing I think I would like in a BF game...would be optional squad or team in game comms. Like how it is done in Battle bit haha

[untold flower]

yeah idk if its the fov setting or what but everytime i play it i get a headache

[amber kelp]

1 unironically has some of the best movement because it is so wieghty. You have to be deliberate and I love it

[hard geyser]

like prox chat?

[vocal tusk]

Yeah

[hard geyser]

oh hell yea would love that too but we all know damn well we aint gettting that 😦

[untold flower]

also there's basically no 64 player server in asia its so annoying i gotta play in the 200+ player servers

[amber kelp]

If you do, look into Red Orchestra or any of its spin off games. That is peak realistic fps design

[patent path]

it's the constant screetching sound playing in the background every time a bullet hits a surface

assault on the senses

[dawn cedar]

people will just resort to shouting profanities at eachother

[untold flower]

idk the underlying reason maybe its the screen shake or graphics or the fov

but something is giving me a headache if i play battlebit for too long

[hard geyser]

who cares, mute and move on lol

[cosmic dragon]

maybe im just disabled as hell but ive not had any issues with audio

mightve not taken notice to it tho

[amber kelp]

proxy chat is awesome in BBR and it would be a great addition to battlefield

[cosmic dragon]

ive heard a lot of people complainging about it

[chilly jacinth]

battlebit sound gives me a headache

[hard geyser]

ppl really hate ppl using their mics nowadays. i get that 90% ppl are shitters. but man at least let them speak if they want. then mute them if you dont wanna hear it.

[dawn cedar]

yeah, let me go through the ui and figure out who and how to mute someone just because people want a system they wont use :^) people already dont talk in squads

[vocal tusk]

Hense the optional part 😛

[cosmic dragon]

cant you just click one of the f keys

[amber kelp]

People use it in bbr though. Maybe it would go unused on console?

[hard geyser]

ppl dont talk in squads cause theres no reason really too. have u tried to start a convo? usually ppl will respond if you just talk first and without a dick attitude (from my experience)

[dawn cedar]

i love hearing fortunate son for the 6000th time

[vocal tusk]

I think prox chat in BF would be hilarious

In a good way

[hard geyser]

but this is on pc. yea i agree with u that console players dont have a mic a lot

[cosmic dragon]

it would be chaos

[amber kelp]

sure. Thats fine
Id love to just be able to directly tell people to do things

Imagine coordinating jihad jeeps with randoms

[stone cradle]

Me again right now:

[amber kelp]

Or just telling someone about something too specific for the commarose

[vocal tusk]

Lol...the poor medic who cant figure out how to mute players

[rose fiber]

Anyone imagined prox chat on breakthrough?

[amber kelp]

YES

[hard geyser]

i do think they could do a mixture of like squad fetaures and make the beginning more interesting then conquest. or breakthru

[vocal tusk]

Rush 128

[stone cradle]

So one thought: "huh it's April, maybe they'll pull a 'our vision is complete' again"

[amber kelp]

TBH i have yet to see a game made worse by proxy chat

Seeing people interact with it makes them go from shadows on a wall to real players in a game. It makes multiplayer feel more alive and gets people to just fucking chill

[vocal tusk]

Exactly.

[azure schooner]

The only thing they want you to do with other players is look at them at the start of the match so you can see what skin they use and thats it, thats all that matters. Every other interaction won't contribute towards you spending more money, in fact the opposite, you may get stressed by people.

[hard geyser]

proxy chat is amazing. i just dont see dice doing it cause we didn't get all text chat for months after

[amber kelp]

yeah but that is because 2042 is a software engineering failure

[vocal tusk]

Anything is easy to add as long as its planned for

[rose fiber]

Even better, bring back commander from BF4 and give him speaker for everyone on the map to hear

[hard geyser]

well hopefullly it was just one of those issues 😛

[untold flower]

real

[vocal tusk]

Commander in BF4 was bad

[amber kelp]

^

[untold flower]

i want my team to see my $2000 knife in csgo

[azure schooner]

commander in bf2 tho

💀

[vocal tusk]

Commander should be a position in home base, that a player needs to occupy.

[full burrow]

the scoreboard makes the game seem to competitive for me and I feel like im getting jugded, I hope the new game doesnt have such an elitist design

[rose fiber]

Lmao

[untold flower]

competitive is good

[vocal tusk]

I did like BF4 commander in the way that it gave you things for your team depending on your teams performance.

[untold flower]

i want everyone to see whos carrying them and the other team to see whos shitting on them

[amber kelp]

bf4 commander: "uhh heres a missile, see you in 20 minutes"
bf2 commander: https://youtu.be/ONHPHmNV0m4?si=5s8xYa-_FE2EmZmx&t=5

[full burrow]

no I should be valued for simply being in the game not cos im doing well

why would I want someone else seeing my stats

[vocal tusk]

But it was blatantly broken when one team had a commander, when the other didnt...and no in game player could really do anything about that

[full burrow]

such an invasion of privacy

[untold flower]

then you have no value

[hard geyser]

whats crazy to me is dice didn't want to tell us about future seasons to ruin the current season. but announcing this before s7 part 2 is even out is just as bad haha.

[toxic wigeon]

I hope commander returns

[untold flower]

name and shame anyone who isnt top 10 in the scoreboard

[toxic wigeon]

Was fun in bf4 even though it was kind of boring

After you realize everything

Also squad didn’t listen

[full burrow]

to I am a contributing members of the annomous team 1 vs annonimus team 2

[toxic wigeon]

Bf2 was artillery spam lmao

[full burrow]

also I dont think the attachement swap system was very inclusive of trans rights

I should be able to switch to any operator of the oposite gender during the match

[vocal tusk]

Can you not tho

[rose fiber]

@full burrow tbh I doubt anyone cares about other's scores on scoreboard in BF, I think most people just check what's their own ranking on their team

[full burrow]

im just trolling, of course I want a scoreboard lol

[patent path]

ah this week's challenges are easy

[rose fiber]

If it wasn't for the scoreboard I would have never seen myself on top from both teams with few hundred ping and 0 kills just for supplying ammo in BF1

[full burrow]

ohhh so thats why the dev team for 2042 went from 7.5 people to 5.5 people

they fired the person who didnt want a scoreboard and also the person who made open empty maps

[wintry mortar]

https://x.com/BFBulletin/status/1777705400701161961?t=8CrPphrZhfqs_y0jzX4C5g&s=35

[wintry mortar]

It's joever

[dawn cedar]

You on internet explorer or smthing mate

[wintry mortar]

I was studying, buddy

[dawn cedar]

its in the announcements on the server, buddy

[wintry mortar]

Oh...

I'm stupid

[toxic anvil]

nod

[stone cradle]

looks like I'm not investing anymore money in this. Watch this game shut down in a few years.

[hazy viper]

Howdy, a recent Steam sale newcomer here 👋
Is there a game mode most suitable for newbies? Tried TDM, but getting spawnkilled constantly by 80-4 KDR guys, so not much fun. Conquest on the other hand gives me often little chance to even meet somebody 🙂 Not complaining, genuinely asking as I quite like the game.

[chilly jacinth]

breakthrough

[wintry mortar]

When I sold it, i just got 1€ (1,09$) and it was sold at 10€ (10,78$)

[dawn cedar]

theres no specific game mode for newbies, its a sandbox game. just run around and have fun

its not very objective focused

[hard geyser]

the game wont shut down til at least 2030 but by then ppl will probs have made it where we can mod our own portal maps or something lol

[chilly jacinth]

unlikely

[hard geyser]

shit even bfv has mods rn. just found out about that

[chilly jacinth]

with the anticheat in place

[wintry mortar]

Nice...it's a shame that i don't have a pc

[hard geyser]

but yea with that new ac i guess it stopped them

[full burrow]

play CQ 64 if you havnt already, 128 maps give you a high chance of being in the middle of nowear by yourself, its easier to manage that on the smaller maps

[hard geyser]

i haven't paid much attention. just know about it

[wintry mortar]

Bruh

[royal swan]

Man 3 years of this. Honestly more like 2 years since the amount of time waiting for content is like a year.

I highly doubt this game would be praised in the future

[violet otter]

I'm not sure if many people will still be playing 2042 after the new one comes out

[stone cradle]

Yeah same

[royal swan]

I think people will leave the second development stops

[hard geyser]

i mean bfbc 2 just shut down and im sure ppl weren't playing that for awhile

[stone cradle]

This game still lacks some core features

[violet otter]

Yeah but BC2 is actually a good game

[dawn cedar]

debatable

[pearl ridge]

Fantastic, so they’re leaving us with the worst map in the game.

[stone cradle]

13 years later

[royal swan]

Tells me you haven't played the other maps

[wanton mural]

So is 2042 done wif content?

[amber kelp]

2042's post launch life is going to be seriously hampered by the lack of a server browser. Small regions will especially struggle

[pearl ridge]

Even fucking Hourglass is enjoyable compared to Haven

[royal swan]

They gotta drop feed the last bits first

[hard geyser]

bfbc2 though just had game sales. and i doubt they were keeping them up for game sales. these games have skins. so in theory i guess they "should" make more over time with this after it fully drops (who knows though) i just dont see the game getting dumped that fast lol

[stone cradle]

He just has a hard on to complain

[wintry mortar]

They literally did worse than any other FPS

[pearl ridge]

Haven is genuinely the worst engineered map in the game

[wanton mural]

I love drip feeding content

[untold flower]

real

says like 1 good thing about the game every 6 months

everything else is just non stop complaints

[wintry mortar]

Are we ready for the LAST (in every sense) battlefield?

[stone cradle]

Complains 24/7, yet still plays the game and probably invests money into it

[pearl ridge]

Ugly, no flow, consistently a major stomp for one side or the other

[royal swan]

I guess halo infinite is the last surviving fps from 2021

[untold flower]

thats what we call a toxic relationship

[pearl ridge]

CQC map with sightlines a hundred metres wide

It’s a mess

[calm bison]

I feel like I’m the only one here who is a bit sad about the content cycle ending but hey it’s whatever

[amber kelp]

"But old games arent getting new content how could I play them"

[calm bison]

Now excuse me while I turn on my redditor glasses and pretend like I never liked this game

How it will suck

[royal swan]

Same

[pearl ridge]

When a game stops getting new content in this region, it stops getting players.

[calm bison]

And how it murdered my family

[stone cradle]

Nah I'm too

[calm bison]

And how DICE deserve to be tried at The Hague for numerous crimes against children everywhere

[pearl ridge]

Stopping updates in OCE is a death sentence for any AAA game

[vocal tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/touching-grass-touch-gif-21219969

[wintry mortar]

I stopped playing in 2022/2023

[vocal tusk]

Time for this for the players

[amber kelp]

Yeah thats a bit rough

[hard geyser]

everyones sad wym. i bought 1 gold and 1 ultimate edition lol

[amber kelp]

He is in australia, if he tries to touch grass hell be killed by a snake

[pearl ridge]

You think I want to play 2042? Believe me, if I could stay in 1 I bloody well would have.

[vocal tusk]

OCE probably has about 2 servers tho haha

[wanton mural]

Big sad

[hard geyser]

i wanted SOOOOO MUCH MORE CONTENT!! xD

[calm bison]

Then like

Go do that

[stone cradle]

When are we going to get project Venice unleashed for 2042?

[calm bison]

BF1 still has server surpport

[pearl ridge]

And nobody playing it

[hard geyser]

i rly enjoyed the semi futuristic type stuff in this game ( even if it lacked bf features)

[wanton mural]

Are you dumb?

[royal swan]

Time to turn my 784.7 hours into something useful and shit talk this pathetic excuse of a bf game

[glossy storm]

Welp, it has finally come to an end.

[wintry mortar]

I prefer bf5 and bf1

[glossy storm]

Saw it coming to be honest, S7 being the last one.

[stone cradle]

I have a similar number of hours

[pearl ridge]

Outside of some farming no-lifers who can’t win without doubling bullet damage

[untold flower]

dawg if the game is giving you so much mental anguish then stop playing it 🙏 unless youre being held at gunpoint

[rose fiber]

Imo you shouldn't need content updates to still play the game as long as enough content was achieved, whether that was already achieved at launch or in certain time period after launch. BF2042 definitely didn't deliver on that while most older titles did

[wanton mural]

I only have a 160 something

[untold flower]

or unless you have a masochism kink

[wanton mural]

It's my least played Bf game

[hard geyser]

honestly i thought it would be 8. "turning point" sounds like theyre ramping shit up for next game or some. so my idea was 8 would be an exit season to start teasing the next bf. but i guess that theory is wrong

[pearl ridge]

This game managed to go its entire life cycle without having a damn server browser

[wanton mural]

Such an under used story and setting of the game

[calm bison]

Although I love how when players hear that content is ending they’re treating it like DICE is shutting the whole thing down immediately

[royal swan]

There was, and it was my wallet doing it. Had to get my money's worth as I didn't refund it

[mighty holly]

is it really ending

[rose fiber]

I also though they were gonna finish with 8 (2 seasonal years)

[calm bison]

Guys the content cycle ends in May

Calm yourselves

[hard geyser]

drey u seem like a cool guy but i think if ppl are venting its about wanting more content not that its dropping.

[plain meadow]

are they done developing on the game?

[stone cradle]

So since BC2 the only good and fully complete BF launches and conclusions were BF1 and BF3 mostly?

[pine roost]

if they still don't fix flight assist that will be comical

[calm bison]

I understand that and have been there before (cough BFV)

[stone cradle]

2 games in almost 14 years, jesus

[pearl ridge]

By Battlefield standards, 1 launched flawlessly

Only a few egregious bugs

[hard geyser]

yea and idk i feel bf5 had a worse end then this game. but i played way more bf5 post support end vs this 1. im kinda burnt out and was hoping a big update would bring me back.

[calm bison]

But people have a screw loose regarding this franchise and treat the end of the content cycle either like it’s New Years or the president just got murked

[mighty holly]

Or both

[amber kelp]

def both

[dawn cedar]

some people base their whole personality around a videogame

[royal swan]

It's more that we have to wait a year and a half for the next game

[calm bison]

That’s unfortunate

[royal swan]

People really hate the wait

[calm bison]

Yeah this is what annoys me the most

[amber kelp]

plenty of other games to try
like Battlefield 1 or BF1 or BF1: Revolution

[calm bison]

They should’ve done a Season 8 if only to just make the wait seem not as long

[hard geyser]

long wait and we dont rly know what the next one is even based in rly

[calm bison]

Either way

[hard geyser]

is it still rumoured to be like modern?

[calm bison]

2042 will still have servers

People will still play it regardless of this news

[royal swan]

Absolutely but not everyone wants to do that.

[rose fiber]

Problem is not that support is finished, problem is that it doesn't have enough content lol. There are like 15 maps lol. I feel like BF title needs at least 20 maps by the end

[dawn cedar]

May 7th is their Q4 and earnings call, we may hear something about it then

[uneven ibex]

Today we've been looking into the Hit Registration reports that some of you have shared on #Battlefield2042

A backend server fix has now been released that alleviates instances of this taking place for you.

As always, thank you for your feedback,
We'll continue to monitor it!

Yeah

Well it better be, don't think they'll do ww2 again this early lol

[chilly jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/tf-you-said-gif-20255278

[amber kelp]

Leaks are: modern, 64p, NATO vs PMC, 4 class system, and a BR

[royal swan]

Tom Henderson (the bastard) said it was modern

[hard geyser]

yea i saw that br. i really hope thats just a rumour

plz no br in bf lol

[royal swan]

Honestly this game needs a free mode like a be to stay relevant

[stone cradle]

I mean they put the creator of Warzone in charge of a game with Ripple

Basically confirmed at that point

[hard geyser]

yea if its free. and not attached to the game

[royal swan]

I hate brs as anyone but I have to admit they keep games alive

[rose fiber]

I don't mind if it's not at the expense of the rest of the game

[hard geyser]

but warzone has made installing cod a bitch. you have to download 150gb just to play warzone

[royal swan]

If only they made firestorm f2p

[stone cradle]

They better consistently update the MP with the BR

[amber kelp]

they keep the BR alive. If youre into CQ it does not benefit you in any way

[hard geyser]

well from what i saw my friend on xbox installing it. i dont play it

[ebon pilot]

free shit keeps games alive, whether they're BRs isn't required

[stone cradle]

I don't want another Warzone getting prioritised over mp situation with BF

[dawn cedar]

if we read the post again, they are bringing in a second studio. that studio could be the one in charge for the BR mode

[hard geyser]

yea i would like something free to bring in more players. would be nice. but it wouldd suck if our games all get super bloated from it

[dawn cedar]

just like how warzone is managed by a diff company

[rose fiber]

If BF does get f2p br, it should be standalone cuz if there's f2p element I'm pretty sure stupid looking skins are gonna come with it like in Warzone which will also transfer to main game

[amber kelp]

why should I care if it "brings in more players" when those players are still paywalled from the modes I am actually playing?

[vocal tusk]

BF1 solved this years ago.

[untold flower]

this shit killed mw2 quick

[hard geyser]

well they might not of bought the game if they didn't get to try it for free.

but i feel u

[untold flower]

i mean granted mw2 mp was ass on its own but the focus on wz killed the game quick

[amber kelp]

I mean free demos used to be a thing and do this about as well.

[arctic grove]

No new 2042 content?

[full burrow]

id say a good game keeps itself alive for years

[calm bison]

Hate that guy

[full burrow]

you only have to danagle "free" things when you are loosing people

[amber kelp]

bee fort too is kill

[royal swan]

Until the season ends

Yeah it's over

[hard geyser]

yea but a demo with a mp game woudl be like bfbc2 beta. where u just have to have them all isolated to 1 map. and then hope the servers dont die or make matchmaking a bitch and then that doesn't help convert people over.

[vocal tusk]

I dont think they will bring back paid DLCs or premium...the market has moved away from that.

But if they somehow did...they could do what they did for BF1. Where if you played in a squad with a player who did own premium maps/content...you could also play/use them.

[arctic grove]

So we have to go a whole year without new bf content

[full burrow]

dont worry im sure they will chuck some new skins in here and there

[calm bison]

I feel like one of the few people who genuinely dislikes Tom Henderson

[stone cradle]

Content support, yes.

But they'll still do small updates

[calm bison]

His validity isn’t 100% and if there is one good thing 2042 did is that it proved he’s a moron

[full burrow]

also they will keep doing events and missions and things which is obviously cruical to a battlefield game and a huge successsssss

[stone cradle]

Or probably not, they promised that with BFV too.

[arctic grove]

But like no new stuff

[stone cradle]

Better not to be TTK changes

[amber kelp]

Nah I see why people dislike him
What I dont understand was the idea that he was completely wrong about 42. Man litterally drew a picture of orbital

[royal swan]

Surprisingly 2042 never got a actual TTK change

[quaint vector]

Nightbird goes Brrrrrr. 🚁

[calm bison]

Holy gamma

[hard geyser]

he beaming them reds

[amber kelp]

HDR screenshot moment

[calm bison]

Also stop posting pictures of 2042! Don’t you know this game is dead now!?

[royal swan]

Lmao

[stone cradle]

Not yet..

[quaint vector]

I don't use HDR, but for some reason it was super bright on Hourglass

[calm bison]

[amber kelp]

2042? theres no game called 2042? What are you talking about?

there was never a 2042

[calm bison]

There is no 2042 in Ba Sing Se

I think I spelt that right

[hybrid steppe]

NOT A SINGLE PORTAL MAP UPDATE, NOT A SINGLE ONE.

[stone cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/nowarinbasingse-atla-avatar-the-last-gif-18401680

[calm bison]

Good. Portal sucked

[royal swan]

So this game will finish with 19 maps

[calm bison]

What happens when you give too much control to the player

[royal swan]

Yes I'm including the stadium. It's still a map

[calm bison]

You get Portal

[amber kelp]

I think its the funniest shit where fans collectively agree to just erase a film from discussion

[hazy sky]

Maybe just keep making this one better? We dont need a new one.

[stone cradle]

Well yeah I expected that after they took off the studio responsive for portal right after launch

[calm bison]

I mean the Star Wars fandom does it all the time

[hazy viper]

jak muzes mit 76:1? 😲 🤯

[calm bison]

So it can’t be that hard, right?

[royal swan]

I want a full count of how much content this game gave us

[stone cradle]

The game will never recover from the insane amount of player loss

No matter how much they update it

[calm bison]

Started with 7 maps, we now have 8 post launch for AOW, leaving with 15

[amber kelp]

Players had all the control to make a mode, but no control to make a community.

[hazy sky]

Its still very active on xbox.

[honest wave]

Hopefully this means I no longer have to do weekly challenges after season 7 is over.

[calm bison]

We got roughly 6 new vehicles in this game, technically 7 if you count both variants of the stealth helicopter

[azure schooner]

this

actually this^^^^

[hazy sky]

Im just tired of games being so disposable. Just make things better

[calm bison]

Honestly this describes it perfectly

[hazy sky]

Dont need a new one

[stone cradle]

Someone on reddit will make it, I'm sure

[calm bison]

Reddit Moment

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if r/Battlefield2042 turns into this franchise’s r/BatmanArkham

[vocal tusk]

When you need to rely on 3rd party services to operate a community...community building will be mostly impossible.

If portal wanted to be a success as a communtiy hub, the game needed something akin to platoons.

[amber kelp]

lmao please

[hybrid steppe]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1bxzxut/bfl_the_world_of_battlefield_4/ And then compare it to this and see how low we've gone.

[calm bison]

Why doesn’t Angel do it again? Is he stupid?

[royal swan]

Yeah it's incredibly disappointing

[amber kelp]

Quantity isnt the issue. Its quality

[calm bison]

Quantity is a bit of an issue tho

[amber kelp]

If you downscale BF4 to have the same number of maps, weapons, etc as 42, then its still a vastly better game

[hybrid steppe]

Except the quality isn't GOOD with 2042.

[amber kelp]

exactly

[hybrid steppe]

So 2042 has both less quality and quantity lmao

[ebon pilot]

why does a big arsenal matter if half of it is the same gun

[amber kelp]

Im not defending 2042, im saying that the quanity is not the main problem

[hybrid steppe]

I get ya

[amber kelp]

especially with that fucking weapon select UI

[royal swan]

Man it's going to suck trying to get 2042 out of my memory

[strong snow]

It is one of the main problems, there can be more than 1 main problem.

[amber kelp]

what 2042? Theres no 2042. Do you mean 2142?

[strong snow]

Thank god they putting the game to rest

[ebon pilot]

you're missing 4 SMGs

[calm bison]

It’ll be mixed

Some people will remember it fondly

Some won’t

[violet otter]

Mostly negative I’d imagine

[calm bison]

But either we’ll see how the community reminisces when the next game comes out

[chilly jacinth]

its going to be the whole new game bad older game good again

[ebon pilot]

the cycle continues

[rose fiber]

I hate tons of things about it from player movement speed, gunplay, skins, not enough maps, no naval combat etc so not gonna remember it positively

[calm bison]

I can’t even call this game a CoD alternative given what CoD is like now

To me this game is a Battlefield game

It’s just a weaker entry than previous ones

[strong snow]

Wow big difference still tiny

[hybrid steppe]

I still believe that root problem of this whole game and probably was the catalyst that plagued the whole game its entire lifetime,

is that it was initially developed as a battle royale style game to compete with Warzone and the framework could no longer be changed even though they course corrected mid development.

[ebon pilot]

It's the only battlefield game i put over 1,000 hours into

please don't put class weapon restrictions back in the game dice

[violet otter]

I like the class weapon restrictions

[calm bison]

BFV has similar movement and TTK so what’s your point here? I guess tactical sprinting but uh…

[strong snow]

lol

[rose fiber]

The only reason I got to 300h was to complete battlepasses I got with gold edition and I regret spending time doing it and money spent on it

[violet otter]

2042 didn’t even have enough guns to put restrictions on

[strong snow]

Nope

[kindred flint]

so they finally pulled the plug?

[strong snow]

95% of people that bought the game gave up after 2 days after launch lol so they ain’t making money therefore 0 content

[hybrid steppe]

This likely was the main reason lmao

[rose fiber]

BFV movement was far slower than 2042 tactical sprint

[amber kelp]

the main reason is to sell weapon skins

[ebon pilot]

but then it'd make sense to make an excessively large number of weapon clones so people buy more skins

like in old games

[kindred flint]

having fewer weapons hasnt stopped them from making skins

[rose fiber]

There's no reason you should support overpriced skins in 60-70$ game

[strong snow]

They didn’t sell gun skins for old games, only season pass challenges

[amber kelp]

I wonder if it would actually matter. Maybe if they were all simple camos but theyre gonna be limited on the number of epic/legendary skins anyway

[ebon pilot]

I meant the excessive weapon clones

[strong snow]

Wdym by weapons clones?

[amber kelp]

Most BF4 weapons feel the same

[ebon pilot]

and i hate it

[stone cradle]

[strong snow]

Did you play in 2013?

[amber kelp]

Yeah. And I still play now.
Many BF4 guns are a sliding gradient of firerate and controllability which means they blur into eachother

[dense wind]

my youth has come to an end
;w;

[amber kelp]

BF1, IMO, has a much better selection. Its smaller but each weapon has its own niches and gimmicks that make them feel distinct

[kindred flint]

bf1 guns were very stale

[strong snow]

I kinda expect that for 2013 tho on a 2011 game engine, back then it was good.

[vocal tusk]

They did...and had to nerf them post launch cos players were getting owned too much by the AI lol

[kindred flint]

since we were in ww1....and it was just automatic fire all the things

[strong snow]

Owned through smoke 😂

[amber kelp]

the problem isnt age, the problem is that theres only so much you can do with the weapons. is a 10th carbine really going to add much value?

[last willow]

Plus when you have so many guns, are there enough tuning mechanics to make them EACH feel different enough?

[hybrid steppe]

I never saw BF1 as like WW1 game, more like an alternative history dieselpunk/steampunk Battlefield, which I was fine with since I love dieselpunk and steampunk.

[last willow]

different gun models are one thing, but underneath the models it's all the same math/equations for balancing between just a few parameters. I guess that depends how many parameters the devs put into the game for gun physics

[ebon pilot]

(they didn't)

[kindred flint]

ok this reddit thread on the announcement is pretty funny though

[strong snow]

If it feels different yes, for example CoD MW19 was famous for its realistic guns sounds, animations, attention to detail and they all had different pros and cons. In 2042 they are all easy low recoil because the maps were too big, bf4 they feel the same because imo things were harder to create back then.

[kindred flint]

people with 400...600+ hours bitching about their wasted time in the game holy fuck

[pine roost]

wasted time?

how

[kindred flint]

"because game bad! "

[strong snow]

Gaming is a waste of time, you gain nothing.

[last willow]

Well, 400-600 hours put into a business would get you to make more money

[pine roost]

again, the game isn't closing down, don't get their logic :/

[last willow]

Or you can be S400+ LMAO

[velvet sand]

Damn, Vince didn't save 2042. Maybe he'll save the franchise in the next BF game.

[rose fiber]

Tbh, you can give same stats and different sound and people will think it's different. I don't remember which game it was but in some game thompson and mp40 had exact same stats jsut different sounds and people thought thompson was better cuz sound was more powerful

[last willow]

Sounds like Day of Defeat lol

[velvet sand]

Oh well, I kinda thought they'd round out with 8 seasons for 2 full years of support but I guess Motive will still be around rotating events and creating more MTX once the season ends to carry folks over until the next BF.

[strong snow]

Same, thought they’d finish at 8.

[pine roost]

thought they'd finish at 5

[vocal tusk]

Reminder that 2042 released in 2021 lol

[pine roost]

but here we are

[strong snow]

Well I thought it was 4 but since they announced 5 then I said 8.

[kindred flint]

guess we should have assumed something was up when they were releasing a "new map" gun and plane in the 2nd half of season 7

[velvet sand]

I mean, it was released for purchase at least. It didn't really finish core development until maybe early 2023 : P

[kindred flint]

and one thing is for certain...the next BF game that will have had "4 years to cook+" will be flawed on release and need months of updates

[pine roost]

i look forward to it's beta, for better or for worse

[vocal tusk]

Even BF1 was pretty badly broken on launch. All I care about is that the core of the game is good.

I know thats probably a shittty thing to need to hope for and say...but its the world we live in haha

[rose fiber]

BF2042 was so far the only preorder mistake I did so will definitely wait to see in what state it launches, what's the starting content and if it's promised to reach at least 20 total maps by the end

[pine roost]

if the infantry and vehicle mechanics lack any real depth to them I may end up passing

[kindred flint]

i pre ordered the day before...got it on sale, so ive gotten my moneys worth

[shy forum]

I had EA Play, got 10% off the gold edition

[kindred flint]

havent spent a dime more on boins...unlike some of you

[unique steeple]

RIP BATTLEFIELD 2042

[velvet sand]

keeping reasonably subterranean expectations for AAA devs working on AAA franchises for AAA publishers. the absolute state of modern gaming lol

[unique steeple]

the game could have easily been fixed if they listened to community

[pine roost]

they have been

[velvet sand]

I mean, they did listen to the community a lot and the game got a lot better over time.

[hybrid steppe]

"easily"

Bold of you to assume DICE knows how to develop functioning games anymore

[unique steeple]

But no server browsers

[pine roost]

practically everything has been reworked to adhere to what people have asked for

[unique steeple]

portal was weird

[shell ermine]

7 seasons too many

[unique steeple]

maps were not that greatly designed

[shell ermine]

Not a single good map in this game

[velvet sand]

so you mean "they didn't listen to this one specific request", lol. server browser wouldn't meaningfully change the games fortunes even there not being one for AOW is a hilarious fail

[shell ermine]

What a waste

[unique steeple]

But it still was fun

[shy forum]

Portal got a bad reputation after the xp farms

[unique steeple]

I wish

They went for atleast

10 seasons

Before discontinuing

[velvet sand]

Honestly they sorta set Portal up to fail. No real meaningful way to consistently promote portal modes to players until the latest menu UI which came in like S4 or something means that the like 2 years of possibly building a Portal playerbase were wasted.

[unique steeple]

the only thing which i hated the most about this game idk about others but i hated the jet controls , i never learnt it and gave up on flying

[hybrid steppe]

I'd say 8 would have been fine and I assumed that was what they were going with, since then it would have been full 2 year season support.

But we were left 1 short

[unique steeple]

Same for heli , it was not for me

[vocal tusk]

Unfortunately...the core modes lacking a server browser will likely mean that once players drop off...2042 will essentially die a quick death.

[pine roost]

can agree on the heli part though lol

given that I've had this username for 666 days now

[unique steeple]

But it was impressive how they pulled the game from release to playable state

[shell ermine]

BFV was a much more solid foundation to build on than 2042. It's a crime they binned BFV early just to waste so much time and money on 2042

[shy forum]

The only events that will happen after EOS might be FNB only

[vagrant trellis]

@unique steeple I just spent several days learning the flying controls in bots

[unique steeple]

miss the battlefield 1 times

[pine roost]

it's going to be great having 2 helis with completely different flight models because they didn't have the time to fix the other one

[unique steeple]

me too but i could never learn it , it took me entire week to learn keybindings at first

[hybrid steppe]

Battlefield 1 times were good, Battlefield 3 and 4 times were heaven.

[velvet sand]

The only thing impressive is how the release build was greenlit internally or approved by first party rofl.

[azure schooner]

bf1 actually the best shooter to come out since 2016

[ebon pilot]

S2

[shy forum]

I also thought the BF2042 Battlepass would be the worst I ever had in a game, but I got proven wrong

[rose fiber]

I only wish BFV got eastern front, really sucked there was no Soviet faction and maps like Stalingrad

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, some community events as per usual...but with dwindling players/interest due to no new content...matchmaking will become more and more painful as the weeks and months pass.

[shy forum]

People will switch to BFV or 1

[vocal tusk]

Or go back to 4 😛

[shy forum]

We should just revive Hardline

[hybrid steppe]

Especially now since there is no incentive to keep going, mark my words, this game is going to start bleeding player numbers like crazy in the near future.

[azure schooner]

too sluggish movement

[vocal tusk]

Firestorm resurgence!

🤣

[pine roost]

In which?

[unique steeple]

but man what has happened to all the companies now days cod battlefield both are going in downfall and bethesda is cursed as well , fromsoftware is doing good , but capcom also took a L with dragon dogma 2 , the aaa games are going through a period of recession or wot

[azure schooner]

4

[shy forum]

ACTUALLY, there was a french Firestorm event like a month ago

[unique steeple]

i feel like gta 6 will also be trash

[shy forum]

I think I will play BFV again, I love how the STG feels

[shell ermine]

In a perfect world they would've made Eastern Front and 1944-5 Western Front content, maybe Italian Front stuff too, made a current gen version with crossplay, and relaunched BFV as Battlefield 1944 instead of doing 2042

[vocal tusk]

Who would buy that lol

[pine roost]

Might want to go back and play it again if you thought it’s movement was sluggish
