battlefield-2042

[subtle imp]

breakthrough is still pretty popular in all out warfare, close enough to rush mode

[bold meadow]

With how the maps are and horrible hit reg breakthough is not really that fun

[feral saddle]

for me the hit reg is fine for some magical reason

[subtle imp]

i have fun playing it, each to their own i guess 🤷‍♂️

[tender folio]

[subtle imp]

huh?

[cyan trout]

Frontlines was my personal favorite

[magic harness]

[copper rock]

You know the game is bad when even the moderators show that they aren't playing the game

[desert elbow]

Didn’t know moderators were forced into playing the game lol, they can play what they want

[copper rock]

Didn't you read the rules? moderators are forced to play the game. True Story

[bold meadow]

No one can be forced to play this game

Its to bad

[copper rock]

Untrue

Anyway, I love BAttlefield 2042

[still vault]

That is just a weird statement. Just move on, this is about 2042, not about moderators do or don't do.

[copper rock]

It was intended to be weird. Loving Battlefield 2042 feels so good

[bold meadow]

No offense who wants to play this game
No content
Barely any weapons
Maps are to open and dont have any soul and dont fit the story
Etc.

[desert elbow]

Did this guy just say no content and barely any weapons

[copper rock]

is being weird against the rules of this server?

[bold meadow]

Yes
Especially compared to older bf games

[copper rock]

I love battlefield 2042

[plain oxide]

❤ me some hot condor action

[desert elbow]

It has the most maps for a Battlefield game in the past 10 years at launch. It also has the 2nd biggest launch arsenal out of every battlefield title

[plain oxide]

Tap the hole

[desert elbow]

Even if you exclude Portal’s weapons, it’s almost on par with BF1’s weapon count

[bold meadow]

Except every map is to big and to open even for 128 players
Most guns suck strangely and dont sound nice or have any weight to them
Vehicles are so dominating even tho theres a lack of them in a match

[bold meadow]

Bf1 didn't have that many weapons dude
They were all the same just different variety that acted different slightly

[desert elbow]

Vehicles are meant to dominate due to the fact this Battlefield is primarily vehicle focused, the maps work well in that regard, the maps are also a fine size when you consider it has the doubled player count

[desert elbow]

Exactly, which is why it’s noteworthy that bf2042 can match it bf1’s amount

[bold meadow]

Not really most are to open and barely have anything
Yes vehicles should be dominate but with the lack of them and how big the maps are they just dont do much

[hardy leaf]

the og Dice Devs have made a free2play game, the current ones dont hv much frostbite engine experience

they inexperienced

[desert elbow]

They’re meant to be open, also they increased the vehicle amount per team

[bold meadow]

No
Bf1 had the least amount of guns
Because ww1

[copper rock]

BF1>BF2042 (this is a certified BF2042 related comment)

[hardy leaf]

BFV>BF2042 too

[desert elbow]

That’s a rumor, there are many 2042 developers who have worked on prior titles

[bold meadow]

Still doesn't feel like it

[desert elbow]

Many of the guns featured in bf1 weren’t even used in WW1

[hardy leaf]

90% of them have left dice and its not a rumour but a fact

[bold meadow]

No actually it was confirmed many of dice devs left

[desert elbow]

Source

[hardy leaf]

they joined embark studios, and made arc raiders

[sturdy mesa]

pls gift me copy of battlefield 2042 on steam idont have much money but i realy like game

[hardy leaf]

jus check embark studios dev list

[bold meadow]

No shit its like we only used bolt actions back in the day

[hardy leaf]

Tom Henderson made a video regarding bf2042 failure and he also mentions this

[copper rock]

I will only buy it for you if you admit that 2042 is garbage

[hardy leaf]

i can gift you clownfield 2042, its better

[sturdy mesa]

its garbage

[desert elbow]

Tom Henderson has gotten many things wrong before

[desert elbow]

Not necessarily, there was a larger arsenal than that

[copper rock]

actually haven't had any crashes

[sturdy mesa]

pls gift me

[copper rock]

No the game is garbage

[desert elbow]

That’s definitely not 90% of DICE lol

[bold meadow]

Actually not really
Yes there was more then bolt actions but yeah it was mostly bolt

[sturdy mesa]

pls i realy like this game

[plain oxide]

Lol jeez, I like the game that's why I spend my time on it and talking about it. Things I don't like, not so much. People are strange- Eric Clapton

[copper rock]

nah

[sturdy mesa]

who can gift me copy of game?

[white geyser]

[desert elbow]

You’re forgetting shotguns, service pistols, revolvers, GP Machine Guns, semi automatic rifles (rare but still existent) and more

Bolt actions were still the majority though

[hardy leaf]

they were the seniormost devs so,

[bold meadow]

I know and still bolt action was a majority
Now lets stop talking about history when many players dont know how a gun works in the first place

[sturdy mesa]

i realy like thi game but i'dont hAVE much money

[desert elbow]

Eh some of them, but definitely not 90%

[sturdy mesa]

pls

[bold meadow]

Most of old dice did leave tho
Why do you think the game is so buggy and glitchy
Most bf devs in dice dont know how to use the frostbite engine unlike the old devs who knew it inside and out

[foggy crest]

SMG 08/18 and Lewis gun

[desert elbow]

Bf4 was buggy and glitchy at launch too lol

[foggy crest]

maybe that time old devs didnt know how to use frosty

😂

[desert elbow]

Most likely though, since that was their first time on frostbite 3

[bold meadow]

They did its just the frostbite engine was always hard to use no matter what
Just the old devs jad it easier

And yeah it was technically new engine

[desert elbow]

Well we’re on a new engine in 2042

So it’s justified in that regard

[bold meadow]

No its not, not to this extent of bad
If they actually knew how to use the engine better it wouldn't be such a buggy, glitchy, unoptimized mess

[hardy leaf]

its not a new engine lol they just upgraded 2016 engine a bit

which was used for bfv, and its riddled with bugs

[bold meadow]

Most bugs and preformance issues come from the engine and how its used

[desert elbow]

Just like what they did with Frostbite 3

[desert elbow]

Bf4 had even worse glitches lol

[bold meadow]

Frostbite 3 was actually an improvement and honestly most bf4 glitches were features

What glitches in bf4 truly made you rage and not laugh your ass off

[plain oxide]

I'm digging the radio in vehicles lol.

[desert elbow]

Like crashing your game upon startup?

Or hit reg even worse than 2042’s

[bold meadow]

Never had it happen and hit reg is usually fine just stop holding that trigger cowboy

[desert elbow]

At launch I mean

The spread was worse than 2042’s, and still is

[bold meadow]

Nope its not just dont hold the trigger

[desert elbow]

Same logic in 2042, tap firing is actually more viable in 2042 too

[bold meadow]

No 2042 you can hold down that trigger

[desert elbow]

Since it has better/less spread lol

[bold meadow]

No its just not as realistic but who came for realism

[desert elbow]

Bullet spread isn’t realistic

[bold meadow]

True

Honestly you can say bf4 was worse then bf2042 at launch but nowadays its beats bf3 in my opinion but then agin bf3 has age on it now
Most bugs and glitches in bf4 are more features then anything else
Gunplay is good just dont hold down the trigger
Maps were actually cool

[arctic grove]

Bf4 bugs are legacy features

[bold meadow]

Nah just features
A scoreboard in bf2042 is a legacy feature

[weak epoch]

have you guys seen tom hendersons breakdown of 2042 development

what an absolute mess I think i've lost all my faith in 2042 and the future of BF after watching

[proper cedar]

At least Bf4 had the core elements that made it a true battlefield game. 2042 is a buggy and unfinished mess with terrible design and mechanics

[chrome current]

So

Dice getting that GOTY award?

[glossy storm]

Garbage Of The Year?

Perhaps.

[desert elbow]

If you think Battlefield 2042 doesn’t play like Battlefield idk what you’re on

[storm jolt]

2042 is literally just battlefield with changes, like any other in the series

[shrewd crow]

what mean battlefield 2042 is not a battlefield there is so many things it lacks

[storm jolt]

still same gameplay loop and freedom, even more so with the new gadgets

[desert elbow]

Just like every battlefield since 1942

[shrewd crow]

ya but very battlefield had one thing that made battlefield battlefield and that was teamwork there none of that in 2042

[desert elbow]

Teamwork is definitely in 2042, most of the specialists are based around it

[shrewd crow]

look at battlefield five that was great game with incentives to work together and stick together and play objectives

[white geyser]

I wish March is here, so we can see the season 1 update for BF 2042 and let see if they can make a comeback

[desert elbow]

Just like 2042

[shrewd crow]

hope they make 2042 better than what is is now

[storm jolt]

battlefield never had teamwork unless you were with a premade

[desert elbow]

I agree with that though

[storm jolt]

dice games always end up good

remember how many petitions to cancel battlefront 2, battlefield v
how many complained that levelotion was gimmicky compares to the real war like in bf3

[shrewd crow]

there is no incentives to work together since everyone can be there own super solider. and what's with all characters being same what happen to Russian being Russian and Americans being Americas

[desert elbow]

The “super soldier” powers are mostly team based, also you said you liked BF5, but that game introduced Japanese forces on the German team & vice versa

[dusky blade]

I long for a fun FPS game

[shrewd crow]

agree but i feel like this game has more bugs than best bfs

[storm jolt]

not even planetside 2 has that much teamwork unless you're in a platoon with comms

@shrewd crow this game barely has any bugs compared to all previous launches, only one ive encountered is not being able to revive people against walls but that was fixed.

ive seen other people have bugs but they were minor, or poor connection/performance

bf4 still has tons of bugs

[magic harness]

Bugs aren't 2042s biggest problem

[shrewd crow]

agree but they do turn people away thats a big issue

[magic harness]

Yep

Especially the broken gunplay at launch

[storm jolt]

gunplay is fixed now

[magic harness]

The players that went never came back

[shrewd crow]

i dont recall that but even then it was axis and allies with their own languages and looks

[storm jolt]

every game has people that play at launch then go onto the next game, as the older bfs die out those players will come back
like any other launch

[copper rock]

planetside was a fire game

[shrewd crow]

i still see issues like characters moving around while still

[copper rock]

yeah but did you die

[glossy storm]

Haha.

[modern mirage]

Dead game

[tame cobalt]

Agreed 100%. BFV does an amazing job at encouraging squadplay especially

[storm jolt]

only squadplay in bfv is the call in system
real squadplay is in rising storm 2 where if multiple people bayonet charge you get buffed

[tame cobalt]

Still more incentive than other bfs

[storm jolt]

miss commander mode on my phone

[tame cobalt]

You also get bonus xp for following squad orders, and if you request order and the leader doesn't respond, you become leader. Both of which are bafflingly missing from this game

Commander mode could be another great way to encourage team coordination... Maybe...

imo the squadplay streak system from BFV should be added to this game

Let squads earn orbital strikes n shit

[dusky blade]

BFV has the best team play for sure

[mighty furnace]

Bring back commander mode, now that would be awesome

[severe carbon]

Does anyone else hate spotting in this game? It used to be such a core feature of Battlefield but I honestly dont even know how it works anymore. You seem to just spot points on the map where you saw danger? And you can only pinpoint one spot at a time? Also I constantly mis-spot something because an object is slightly overlapping it, or spam spot and accidently unspot something. Same thing with objectives, I can only seem to tell people in my squad im going to an objective (rip squad orders) if I'm within a line of sight of it, otherwise it pings like a wall or hill in front of me since for some reason you can spot literally nothing but the ground now. I feel like I havent seen it talked about but it's just such a massive headache, I wish they went back to the spotting of previous games.

[tame cobalt]

Nope this new spotting system is an improvement

[sour holly]

[severe carbon]

I never tell people hey im going to that point over there, I guess its useful but its more annoying than anything else since now every part of the map can be spotted on 🤷

[storm jolt]

it's for squadplay

[steady dune]

Why not combine bf4 spotting with the green marker?

[storm jolt]

with how many people are on each team everyone would be spotted all the time, so when you spot someone or ping a location only your squad will see it. if you spot a vehicle the entire team will see it

[tame cobalt]

Has been like this since BFV. The marker you're placing is not spotting, you're just pinging danger for your squad. Real spotting is limited to special gadgets: proximity grenade, Casper's drone, paik's ability, vehicle spotter seats, soflam. @severe carbon

[mighty furnace]

I exploit the heck out of proximity grenade, and sentry gun.

[tame cobalt]

They realized spotting is actually pretty op and shouldn't just be a button everyone spams

[severe carbon]

lmao thats why im bummed, its definitely op. The trick is some people are better at spamming it than others

on the subject, being able to still spot and ping danger while downed seems like a bit of an odd choice and very exploitable

[storm jolt]

thats most games

[mighty furnace]

and the sentry works while dead

[tame cobalt]

You're downed and can tell your squad where enemies around you are before they revive you

I dig it

[severe carbon]

yeah but you can also go on a suicide mission to spot enemy positions and equipment around a corner or something

[pliant saffron]

lol

[severe carbon]

strategic thinking

[pliant saffron]

Modern problems require modern solutions

[eternal crane]

Had a portal game today it was bf3 hc played the littlebird auto Health regen was disabled I managed to survive with one hp only to swap to passenger seat and not have rep tool but a kind teammate healed me to full just wanted to say thanks whoever that was

[tame cobalt]

I feel like the B sector on Manifest cq128 is a trap. Just hold the sector closest to your base and the two ship sectors and you'll get the W

List of dice games that were hated on release:

Battlefield 4
Battlefield V
Battlefront
Battlefront 2
Battlefield 2042

(Incomplete) list of dice games that are now beloved:

Battlefield 4
Battlefield 5
Battlefront
Battlefront 2

[storm jolt]

people didnt like bf3 either because of how buggy it was and limited compared to bc2

and they hated battlelog too

[worthy inlet]

Bf1 belongs on both those lists

[tame cobalt]

💯

Yeah even bf1 got backlash at launch

[visual horizon]

hundo

[visual horizon]

yes

[cedar sandal]

BF3 got hate because there was no VOIP. Familiar story?

[storm jolt]

bfv and mostly battlefront 2 had petitions against its launch and to cancel the game

[tame cobalt]

G*mer moment

[unique oyster]

imagine doing petitions expecting something to change

[surreal crystal]

Eyo !!! Soflam actually op

[storm jolt]

as a jet pilot soflam is a godsend

[tame cobalt]

soflam do be rather poggers. But it currently doesn't give you a vehicle kill assist

[surreal crystal]

Yeah

[tame cobalt]

IMO it should give you xp for locking on in the first place and then more xp for the assist

If spotting an enemy gives xp and spotted enemy death gives assist, it should be the same for soflam, except more xp cuz it's vehicles

[arctic grove]

soflam is annoying imo, i try to gunrun using the scout heli for 2042, soflam locks on and INSTANTLY 4 or more missiles fly towards me

[tame cobalt]

[arctic grove]

i back off after i pop flares, wait for flares to recharge, soflam locks on again and same scenario happens

its a never ending cycle of who messes up first

[tame cobalt]

Having a strong counter against aircraft is a good thing

[arctic grove]

i agree, i do, but not when helis and aircraft cannot do anything towards infantry, 20mm feels 50/50 and miniguns for scout heli is absolute doodoocaca

[surreal crystal]

Tats just how it works

I started using it yesterday and now i am a soflam enjoyer

[tame cobalt]

Based

I wish there was a way to communicate effectively with people you're in a vehicle with

[arctic grove]

whereas BF4, scout heli can be a demon and can actually aggro fight against infantry until you mess up, and this is with static AA mines placed almost everywhere etc

[surreal crystal]

Avg soflam denier

[arctic grove]

i never denied soflam; im just saying its hella annoying since it can instantly relock after flares are finished if you are still tracking the helis

[copper rock]

actually bf3 belongs on that list

[tame cobalt]

Which was without a shadow of a doubt a BAD THING.

Heli dominating too much ruins the game for everyone else.

[arctic grove]

I do not think it is a bad thing when people still can counter scout heli in BF4, I am merely saying that scout heli can actually DO something, whereas in 2042 it feels extremely lackluster.

[proper pivot]

is bf2042 good about game play ?

[tame cobalt]

Yes

[knotty iron]

penguinz0 made a video top 5 worst games and 2042 is in it

is bf2042 good ?

[tame cobalt]

Yes.

[knotty iron]

WORST...

[proper pivot]

why ?

[copper rock]

I wouldn't purchase at full price

[tame cobalt]

If only penguinz0's opinions on videogames mattered at all

[proper pivot]

the game play and have fun is important

[tame cobalt]

He's not even a battlefield fan.

[copper rock]

Buy the standard edition when it's discounted. I wouldn't pay full price for it

[proper pivot]

ik

smort

[tame cobalt]

It's a sandbox game, so you're in a way responsible for making it fun for yourself

[proper pivot]

thanks chad

[tame cobalt]

If you go into a sandbox game with the intention to not have fun, you won't.

Same other way around

[copper rock]

In any case, the game is not worth it at full price

[tame cobalt]

What platform u on?

[proper pivot]

window with steam

[copper rock]

Wait until the March update, if there are improvements then consider it then. Ultimately the multiple negative reviews are not wrong. Wait for a discount son

[tame cobalt]

Game is currently a bit buggy and unoptimised on pc, check back in a month or two when season 1 starts

i dont care much about bug i care about fun

and for me is like 180 eur cuz i live in baltic country

[knotty iron]

hope the game gets better from now on but i dont see any progression

[tame cobalt]

Lmaooo

[knotty iron]

The issue with 2042 isn’t just the regular Battlefield scuffed launch.
Lack of guns.
Lack of game modes
Lack of maps
Missing regular features every game should have
Overall downgrade to battlefield
Specialists make no sense
Battlefield becoming a hero shooter is a loss of identity.

the writer of assassins creed just died, rip

[tame cobalt]

[steady dune]

I do miss the big amount of guns

4 assault rifles makes me a bit sad

[tame cobalt]

I like the uniqueness of each gun with this launch lineup.

[knotty iron]

look at bf1 how many guns are there, im max lvl 1200 hours and i havent still used them all

[hardy leaf]

https://youtu.be/2MKtgP7cHEk

just checkout this video

[knotty iron]

forza horizon 5 got 15 milion players in just 2 months

[tame cobalt]

The more guns you have, the more they all start to blend together. 22 is a bit on the lower side, but if they had one more LMG and a couple more sidearms it would've been perfect imo

[steady dune]

Stupid game crashes on start for me

[knotty iron]

nah its a vairus

[hardy leaf]

considering its free on a subscription service everyone have on xbox

[hardy leaf]

you can literally see its a youtube video link url

2042 not even on the steam charts, but weren't the mods saying a week or so ago that we can't base the games success on steam numbers alone?

I'd love to hear the responses on how I'm seeing this dumpsterfire wrong

Yes the game is bad thank you for your opinion

[earnest verge]

Steam actually just started to accept refunds outside of their normal policy on this game aswell, expect player numbers to go down even further now

yeah this what i said since day 1, its fraud and its all in plain text and videos too, they cant deny it, its coming for sure. The only unfortunate thing is with cyberpunk they only had to pay pocket change for it

[blissful hemlock]

The World Cup in Qatar is such a joke lol

[neat totem]

I tested the alpha, and it's very fucking clear it was bait and switch; we were told several times not to test X, then suddenly get surveys for X.

[distant path]

Believe me, they don't need any profits, but they want to put their name everywhere possible

[marble scaffold]

Deal with it qatar is a nice country trust me

[neat totem]

like, the part that scares me the most is how disassociated EA/DICE was, it's like corporate just kept chugging with a failure because people needed to be fed/housed/paid

[distant path]

I agree with you, it is a beautiful country, but the map is not suitable to be in the game

[neat totem]

some blatant shit in the testing phase that any semi-competitive shooter would have gone ❓ on, like how sliding was actually faster than running

[marble scaffold]

Dude they're name is everywhere already

[neat totem]

it's very very very clear those making the game aren't "competitive gamers" but more so fans of the franchise and had played the game before lightly/casually

[distant path]

Yeah and the paying for it

[earnest verge]

isnt sliding still faster than running, atleast this was the case not long ago, people here in discord deny it was ever the case, but u can clearly outrun some 1 with some apex legends movement, and its by alot too

[distant path]

they

[young panther]

ok

[neat totem]

I could literally screenshot me in the alpha going "hey this is alright but it plays like Apex, please don't make this game an Apex Clone"

[next onyx]

Slide has a delay to prevent you from over taking sprinters

Even if you jump, You'll be at the same speed as them

[dreamy cedar]

I finally got the platinum trophy in battlefield 2042

[neat totem]

it wasn't like that in the "alpha" which is something even basic testing would have caught, let alone 6 months into production.

[earnest verge]

was this added in latest patch? cause it sure wasnt before last patch

[next onyx]

The initial burst would be good for getting into cover/jumping around a corner

I've always noticed it

Since that start

[neat totem]

I would be fucking immensely happy the whole development cycle of this game hasn't been leaked (yet), it'd just be fuel on the fire

[next onyx]

Right. If you slide but don't jump you're overall slower than a sprinter

[earnest verge]

thats not true, we tried this like a gazzilion times, you would 100% "outrun" ppl in full spring by slide jump crouch repeat

[next onyx]

If you slide and jump you don't overtake

I've compared my speed to teammates running and i haven't caught up to them

Doing the slide jump

[neat totem]

you could literally slide faster than running in the alpha, if you think that's acceptable in any form of a battlefield at any stage, then bro you shouldn't be playing battlefield

[blissful hemlock]

Literally sucks

[neat totem]

that's not how this game franchise works, it's never fucking been that way

[next onyx]

In the alpha, Yes. A version that isn't used.

Well, Now.

You get what i mean

A massively outdated version

[earnest verge]

you gotta time it, just as in apex, it 100% was the case just a few weeks ago

[blissful hemlock]

What fans want to travel to Qatar in November? @marble scaffold

[neat totem]

no, I don't "get what you mean" when they took the previous 6 games and diverged from what the game and the fans wanted

[blissful hemlock]

Literally gonna be no one at games

[neat totem]

you mods here literally sound like you're trying to earn EASocial credit points for the redwood trip, hint it's alright it's just a large complex

[next onyx]

This whole slide overtaking sprinters you mentioned being the Alpha is no longer a thing, Maybe my experience is different cause i've never over taken a sprinter by slide jumping.

[arctic grove]

I would never set my foot in a country like Qatar.

[blissful hemlock]

Can’t have a pint without getting arrested LMAO

[arctic grove]

My point exactly LMAO!

[blissful hemlock]

It’s a shambles that the World Cup is being played there

[arctic grove]

it's all about the money mate!

[blissful hemlock]

It should be like the Euros was

In all the major countries

[earnest verge]

if u chain it together and do it perfectly, u will, unless they patched it out verry recently. it was not just in Alpha, if it dont work for u in full release u not doing it right, the difference is hughe

[blissful hemlock]

Still, it’s coming home

[arctic grove]

Everytime. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[marble scaffold]

Qatar is not bad trust me I've been here for 7 years and I have not had a single problem besides the drivers

[arctic grove]

[blissful hemlock]

I can’t see a bunch of British football fans in Qatar going well…

[arctic grove]

hows woman rules there

[neat totem]

you can literally wingsuit and spam spacebar, and just desync so badly it's a blur on the opponents screen

[marble scaffold]

They ain't bad

[neat totem]

this game is literally dogshit if you even try to take it serious, it's always fun seeing sundance fucking barrel roll into you firing before they hit the ground on your screen

[arctic grove]

like the mouse input in BF2042

[blissful hemlock]

💀💀

[arctic grove]

😂

[marble scaffold]

Fuck that actually people barely care about women here

[neat totem]

they added so much flavor "text" and useless shit to the game, they essentially ignored the basic mechanics/polish

go look at sundance wingsuiting and tell me that's even remotely fucking polished, shit looks like a unity college project

[next isle]

Because the writers would also be responsible for fixing functionality bugs?

[neat totem]

full sail university final project levels

[arctic grove]

what i find stunning is steam refund it

[earnest verge]

You could also just straight up dive in to the ground at a slight angle, take like 10 hp in damage from falling off a skyscraper, bounch forward in lightspeed a few meters, fastest way to get from point A to point B, if u play sundance, so best way to use her wingsuit is to not use it

[neat totem]

notice the quotes? it's to denote more than just text; they've added so much flair in the game that it makes them missing the base product even more laughable

[visual horizon]

it looks fine

[neat totem]

it's like polishing up your house and yet it's a fucking crackhouse with no floor

I mean cool, but you know, people kinda gotta walk and shit in here, it has to be functional

but hey nice framed paintings and curtains I guess.

[blissful hemlock]

Tbh I think the game looks way worse than BFV

[neat totem]

imagine spending 50k in animator costs for the angel shit only for it to be the lets go brandon of 2022 EA gaming

[arctic grove]

your negativity smells like hot soup

[neat totem]

I mean hard to be positive when every single feature that made the game battlefield is now a "legacy feature" or "brutal expectation"

[next onyx]

If this game riles you up so much just learn to move on.

[blissful hemlock]

Can you stop with your brutal expectations please @neat totem

[arctic grove]

im sure the know most off us dont like it Xd lets hope in future we can turn it off

[next onyx]

I feel your frustrations with this game

But there's a point where you have to learn to move on.

[blissful hemlock]

The battlefield franchise is a legacy feature

[neat totem]

bro refund me the 100$, I'll leave the discord right now

[next onyx]

I could rant about the game, It's easy. But I'm just tired of it.

[plush coyote]

must suck having for mod the 2042 discord

[neat totem]

until then I'll keep expecting you to fix the product I bought and if not, I'll enjoy the lawsuit due to the failure of the season pass before the actual seasons end

[marble scaffold]

Bro learn how to refund yourself

[next onyx]

Whatever store you bought it on you have to follow its rules on refunds.

If you're going to constantly negative, You will be removed.

[next isle]

You're speaking to people who don't touch the game in any professional capacity, and can't fix your issues

[blissful hemlock]

Why are you saying you

No one in third chat works on the game

[neat totem]

there's absolutely people on EA's staff reading the comments in here

[arctic grove]

but do they handle refunds?

[blissful hemlock]

Dice

[next isle]

Maybe there is, maybe there isn't

[marble scaffold]

Way just set his pants on fire ffs

[neat totem]

again, I don't think people would be so pissed if they didn't try to sneakily do this shit and then try to weaponize the fanbase

[blissful hemlock]

You are a very angry man

[young panther]

cool

[neat totem]

I'm angry because all they had to do was release a remaster and print cash

[arctic grove]

welp for me the issue isnt rly specialist itself. got kinda used to it. but i miss something i cant explain. something that want me to play long. also map design need some improvments. (hope thats not to brutal ;) )

[neat totem]

instead they went new-coke stupid, then got mad because people called them stupid

[blissful hemlock]

Can you stop being brutal

[arctic grove]

[marble scaffold]

bro deal with it it's a fucking new game and ofc it's gonna have problems

[neat totem]

new game on 50% sale, click noice

[arctic grove]

if the game wasnt on sale the servers would be empty especially on older consoles

[young panther]

thats cool

[blissful hemlock]

Xbox just had a free weekend

[copper rock]

IT shouldn't be full price.

[arctic grove]

Good thing it was on sale then

[neat totem]

this game isn't bad for 20 bucks

[blissful hemlock]

Bucks

Quid >
Tbh

[neat totem]

I just think at this point make AOW free if you have other EA titles purchased, and gate portal for premium; that's the way to alleviate issues

[marble scaffold]

Alright then they'll just remove tax

[arctic grove]

i never got lot off player issue tbh on ps4

[neat totem]

basically make AoW free for those who have purchased EA titles before, to negate some hacking

[arctic grove]

but im in eu

[neat totem]

if you have another battlefield, boom you get AoW but nothing else and maybe gated unlocks/specialists

[blissful hemlock]

They should add it to the Xbox game pass

[neat totem]

"love letter to the community"

[blissful hemlock]

Look at what that did for battlefront 2

[neat totem]

battlefront is the reason battlefield is where it is

[arctic grove]

what i find amuzing is pubg become free. finally can tell friends to leave warzone 😁

[copper rock]

Even the game is overpriced for it's state. I wouldn't recommend anyone buying it right now. I would recommend people wait until after the March update and see if there are improvements. In any case, would recommend only when on sale

[blissful hemlock]

1 million new players in the month that they cancelled battlefront 2

[neat totem]

stop bringing up battlefront, most of the bad shit you see in this game? it's battlefront tendencies/systems

[blissful hemlock]

Calm down brother

I said the word twice

[arctic grove]

just refund him

[neat totem]

^

paypal me 100$ I'll go buy vanguard and laugh at that shit, at least I have lowered expectations with them

[arctic grove]

i dont think we be seeing payed dlc exclusive or maps etc in bf2042 so i would argue with the overpriced...

[earnest verge]

EA dont do refunds, they even started banning and removing valid critics on their forums, the ones where we always told to take our issues too, they are in full damage and wallet controll atm

[neat totem]

https://tenor.com/view/lowered-expectations-gif-9172732

[arctic grove]

I know diz, only make ze jokes.

season pass stuff probally let any1 get some stuff. and operators maybe only thing ya buy pass for and skins

[neat totem]

im just saying, imagine losing money on 2042 when battlefield 4 redone with nicer skins would have netted just as much with nearly zero drama

[earnest verge]

it flew over my head sry, to me this was news, actually didnt expect them to go this far at EA, even tho we all know its history

[next isle]

I can guarantee you EA are not removing valid and constructive feedback alone

[earnest verge]

u wanna bet?

[arctic grove]

valid and constructive feedback is the key 😉

[next isle]

Mixing insults with valid feedback doesn't magically make a post okay

This game has taken the word "crap" to a new level

[blissful hemlock]

Here’s comes another

[supple zenith]

Crappy leggy servers unbelievable wait times, bugs bugs and more bugs. Damn.... such a shit show

[blissful hemlock]

[supple zenith]

I wonder if dice is even observing and even playing this game themselves....

[earnest verge]

if we still playing on a months old build and they have a working one internally, sure

[manic niche]

refound asked to Steam 🙏

[young panther]

im not laggy, the wait times for me are almost instant and i havent seen to many bugs

[ember heath]

Congratz guys, the devs have pulled of another amazing achievement

[earnest verge]

make sure u state the obvious stuff about how broken and unplayable it is, if u just refund and dont say why u wont get it

[ember heath]

Bf2042 has now officially dropped out of the steam top 100 and has less than half the players BF5 has

[ember heath]

How do you feel about this achievement devs, are you proud?

Well rested?

[silver lantern]

Plot twist bf2042 existed to boost bf5

[ember heath]

Opening another champagne bottle?

[ember heath]

500Head, EA plz hire this man right now

[fossil flax]

PHREE GAME i can't wait for this game to be free in 2 weeks

[ember heath]

Wel Bf2042 did in fact boost BF5. When people are exposed to dog shit they realise human shit wasn't so bad.

cant find matches pog

[lime crystal]

It was made by people who never played battlefield before, let alone make it

[distant path]

For everyone who defends this game, just remember that we bought the game and did not get it for free, which means we gave it a chance and wanted it to be a good game after a long wait

[unkempt escarp]

So what do you guys think about that Clownfield 2042 game?

[arctic grove]

might wanna move to civilisation

[fossil flax]

GAMES AS A LIVE SERVICE = TRIPLE AAA gaming being stagnant

[lime crystal]

Don't be sad this just how it works out sometimes

pay now fix later(if your lucky) *angel does it again(

[lean falcon]

Should we go around the headquarters?

[tame cobalt]

Sounds like a you problem

[earnest verge]

dont let the 1% tell the 99% whatsup, let them enjoy the game if they like it, its all copium

[distant path]

No one wants to be negative and there is no benefit from this, but we have played and tried the game for more than two months.. and the game is bad. This is reality and logic.

my wallet would cry if they do this

[next onyx]

Cat ear skin

batman skin for batgirl

i mean, when they do the dlc with naval vehicles they can do an Azure Lane collab

[earnest verge]

Cant wait for the official "we hear you" twitter response to this

gods that would be some next level fucked up shit

[earnest verge]

aint gonna lie, i would boot the game up again

[tender folio]

maybe, they are taking note now

[prisma anvil]

hmmmm....i swear to god if we get "nico nico nii" voicelines

[earnest verge]

100% there will be unlockable voicelines down the line, one way or another we geting em

maybe thats why the vanilla voice sucks ass, so people will buy every new one later

[prisma anvil]

not out of the realm of possibility that

[next onyx]

Like with the elites from 5 i bet there'll be unique animations

Earlier on i was thinking what would happen if they did it on bf5, Minus the lines cause the best squad screen is silent.

[prisma anvil]

probably get different executions/takedowns for melee like there is in mw as well

i'd pay for a nut kick execution in 2042

[earnest verge]

all in 3rd person broken animations glory with half rendered skin you just bought, gonna be glorious

[prisma anvil]

imagine the frame drops

[earnest verge]

what frames

[prisma anvil]

all 20-42 of them

[earnest verge]

ouff, funny and real

[tender folio]

[prisma anvil]

also, i'm honestly surprised the 2042 subreddit hasnt been nuked yet...

[tender folio]

if nuke, it's gonna be on headline again.

[prisma anvil]

we're gonna get r/highsodium2042 then

[tender folio]

lmao

I heard Twitter is worse

not sure btw, im not on Twitter

[earnest verge]

twitter aint happy cause all they get are the auto predated release

[next isle]

reddit is definitely worse

[prisma anvil]

neither am i, i just check sometimes for any news they post....

to be fair, the mods have been doing their jobs, i was on it today and although it was mostly negative, not a lot of dev bashing, or picking on individuals...so i guess its improving?

[earnest verge]

there never was a whole lot to begin with, there are always some nutjobs, and their shit gets taken down, just as anywhere on the internet from the begining of time, its the 0.00001%

That damn boat in the intro of 2042 makes me mad, they need to bring back some naval warfare for the next game or some future dlc, bf1 maps that had it was awesome, so was 1942

[desert elbow]

Battlefield has a history on basing their DLC releases on different types of combat, so I wouldn’t be surprised if one battle pass is focused on naval warfare

Sort of like the bf1 naval DLC

[tight storm]

2143

[lean falcon]

Where's the dice we know? 😦
New employees keep coming...

Give we! 7 years ago.

[neat totem]

I remember testing a specific game for EA at the campus and their QA testing even in 2011 was fucking primitive

One of my colleagues next to me was stuck for 45 minutes with a bug and the actual QA lead test guy was fucking mad I told him how to fix it

Apparently they want you to sit for 45 fucking minutes at the same bug even though we all know that's completely useless even in a development sense

[violet sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/ramsay-raw-gif-13771788

[winged coyote]

You're a GENIUS!!!!

Get Gordon Ramsay to test future battlefield games

[neat totem]

Basically EA does a formula to figure out what's the easiest way they can pump money out of a shitty product, DICE is really just there to sell frostbite and be the maintenance for frostbite engine

[winged coyote]

Why didn't we think of this before?!

[violet sluice]

Did...did you just quote yourself?

[winged coyote]

Yeah it's pretty normal on this app

Only way to really follow up messages when you have slowmode on

[neat totem]

It's kind of funny too because if dice had just held out and made it a proper API for their engine it probably would be a competitor to unity or unreal by now

Maybe not on the same level but at least someone would have made project reality 2

[violet sluice]

They don't want that. You can't even license id tech any more.

[neat totem]

I don't know I think engine licensing is the future, a lot of games are now going in a way where they're going to stay the same just upgrade engines over time

[violet sluice]

Frostbite is proprietary to EA and it's why they've tried for a long time to get every studio under the EA umbrella to use it. Unfortunately when it comes to certain genres of games it's not a very good engine.

[neat totem]

Frostbite is proprietary to EA because EA bought dice

[ember heath]

Is it now?

[radiant echo]

https://tenor.com/view/always-has-been-among-us-astronaut-space-betrayal-gif-23836476

[next isle]

certainly

[ember heath]

Tbh, reddit would be way less toxic if we could only get a dev response that says how they feel bout the game losing 93% of its players on steam

[neat totem]

What do you want them to say though realistically? I'm heavily negative against the game as you can tell by the way I've written before and here and still I don't think they need to really say much right now

[next isle]

Yes, that would totally fix reddit

[winged coyote]

Reddit is way too toxic to be fixed with anything in the short term

[ember heath]

There have been threads about it every single day, so I can understand thier frustration when the only response they got to it was a deleted developer tweet

[violet sluice]

Reddit is the perfect amount of toxic. The only thing that needs fixing is the shitty game.

[winged coyote]

They'd lash out at any dev given the opportunity

[neat totem]

Anything they say is just going to be criticized any further; actions speak louder than words, they want to start solving the situation bring back shit like the scoreboard within the next month

[winged coyote]

If the game is in a good state 6 months from now I reckon reddit would lose most of it's anger

[neat totem]

It's called regaining the community's faith and it starts with actions not words

[winged coyote]

💯

[ember heath]

The question is, even if the game is fixed, will the 93% who left ever come back

And what proportion would even come back in the best case scenario? Has the die already been cast?

[neat totem]

Just shut up for now, come back with a patch that at least shows their listening by adding scoreboards back in and removing the crappy voice line ending stuff

If they could do that at least and just not fucking keep saying stupid things I'd be content and curious to see what they do after that

[violet sluice]

Probably not. The damage has been done and when people think 2042 they think of how broken the core gameplay is with them specialists, and all the bugs, and the lack of content. 2042 is unrepairable due to that.

[worn whale]

it'd be better if they start working on the next battlefield game and make sure to not repeat these mistakes

[violet sluice]

We will see an uptick in players when patches come, but the player count will always remain low with this title.

[neat totem]

The game can be saved many ways, but saving the game before it's worth playing again is a bad idea; fix the issues and then come out with new features that attract people back

[ember heath]

Exactly, ea might consider it a waste of dev effort and move more resources to fifa/apex/star wars

[neat totem]

For example they could add portal 2142 and people would come back for sure, especially if it's a faithful recreation

EA has a lot to work with they just need to not be fucking lazy and hire people like Andy like they have been

[viscid mesa]

im surprised ppl still hit discord and reddit daily with anger and grief over this game... kinda thought it would come in waves in time with updates. forgetting about the game for a few months would prob be good for morale lmao

[ember heath]

Even in the best case scenario, the player numbers will climb back up to BF5 levels, i. e. 25k

[violet sluice]

Even then it'll only being back a small handful of players. 2042's reputation has been that badly damaged due to the horrendous launch.

[neat totem]

I mean if they don't recover this game it's basically medal of honored for the series

[violet sluice]

They should've done that instead of make this game.

[neat totem]

I don't see a single fucking person I know buying this franchise again if they drop this game hard

We all think this is exactly how they did anthem or medal of Honor

[ember heath]

There will be some EA worshipping fools who will buy it again

[viscid mesa]

next game will be a hero shooter.. thatll be the last nail in coffin for me

[violet sluice]

Anthem deserved it, and Medal of Honor was good for 2 titles before it became shit.

[neat totem]

The next game will be a battlefront game watch

[violet sluice]

It already is a hero shooter.

[neat totem]

EA will get timid because at least with a license deal they don't make as much but they make steady income for their investors,

If not Star wars they'll find another IP and do the same shit in battlefront style

[ember heath]

It really is amazing how many people know about the low player counts thanks to this outrage. Even fully casual gamers seem to know that "Bf2042 dying" or "Bf2042 has less players than BF5"

Thank you steam for exposing this shit

And think you to all the 1m+ youtubers who show the player count graph

[raw vale]

there is only a 500 player difference between bf2042 and bf1 right now on steam

trust me this game wont last 3 seasons

[ember heath]

Bf1 might overtake 2042 by the end of this week

[viscid mesa]

imo, not yet.. but its close.

[raw vale]

it already is as you are required to select "heroes" with unique abilities

[ember heath]

For those who don't know about game death, the lower the player count the faster it drops later on due to worse matchmaking

Until you are left with a tiny number of hardcore players who prevent any new players from getting a decent foothold

[raw vale]

Hero shooters are a variation of multiplayer first- or third-person shooters, where players form into two or more teams and select from pre-designed "hero" characters that each possess distinctive attributes, skills, weapons, and other passive and active abilities.

All specialists have distinct attributes, passive and active abilities. Weapons are shared but technically they still fit in the "hero shooter" definition

[ember heath]

I mean, hero shooters can be popular, just look at valorant. But there is no need to tie it into the Battlefield IP.

[raw vale]

i mean if EA really wanted a hero shooter they could have just hired a new studio and create a new IP, could have called it FieldBattle

[viscid mesa]

imo a hero shooter is a mainly solo play game.. i suppose u can set up for solo play.. i feel its still a team game.

[jolly sail]

they called it 2042

[violet sluice]

Jesusfuck now people can't even believe it's become a hero shooter? The copium is strong.

[winged coyote]

Battlefeels, where you can have an emotional connection with your favourite hero. As if battlefield heroes didn't already exist

[viscid mesa]

ppl are allowed opinions.. imo.. speciaist dont soley make it a hero game.

[civic reef]

How is it possible that a newer game is worser then the older ones 😂

[raw vale]

Hero shooters are a variation of multiplayer first- or third-person shooters, where players form into two or more teams and select from pre-designed "hero" characters that each possess distinctive attributes, skills, weapons, and other passive and active abilities.

they literally fit in this criteria

[violet sluice]

Chasing that $$$ is how.

[raw vale]

what the fuck do you mean "it's not a hero shooter"

[amber heath]

Is there a BFV server?

[viscid mesa]

they do and its close.. id class cod a hero game.. id class bf , a team game

[civic reef]

All these people in here are so dissapointed. I wonder if there is someone who really likes the game

[raw vale]

it doesnt have to be a solo played game, literally every game that has pre-designed "hero" characters that each possess distinctive attributes, skills, weapons, and other passive and active abilities IS A HERO SHOOTER

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah but you still choose their weapons, gadgets, and throwables, same thing goes for the vehicles in the game.

[civic reef]

Of this game i can live with alot of things but those so called legacy features and stuff they need to come back asap imo

[viscid mesa]

depends on ur definition of "hero" game 😜

[tender folio]

wow, respectful discussion ...

[raw vale]

bf2042 is not a hero shooter guys COPIUM

[worn whale]

Hero shooters are literally a massive headache, why overwork and stress the devs when you can literally just make 4 classes and make them have basic weapon options

[raw vale]

the thing with hero shooters is devs have to constantly balanced their abilities and it takes away development time

[copper fulcrum]

Just like how they already balance weapons and gadgets with previous games

[sullen heath]

imagine having to spend so much time on balancing something that nobody even wanted

[ripe hedge]

From what exactly?

[violet sluice]

2042 is a battlefield game in name only, depending on your definition of "battlefield".

[copper fulcrum]

Remember how BFV basically having a balance change in what felt like every week?

It felt like every patch included a balance change tbh

[raw vale]

previous titles only require to balance guns, now they also have to balance the abilities which requires more work and data.

[viscid mesa]

@violet sluice i agree.. would have been better recieved with a different name lol. i share the same issues.. i feel let down

[potent minnow]

still better than 2042

[copper fulcrum]

I haven't touched BFV in a while tbh

[sullen heath]

If the issues of the game arent enough to kill this game then the amount of hackers certainly will :/

[raw vale]

dont worry, even the hackers dont even bother launching the game

[sullen heath]

oh how i wish that was the case lol

[violet sluice]

At this point watching any Uwe Boll movie is more entertaining than 2042.

[copper fulcrum]

EAC is doing a good job lol

[scenic tartan]

2042 is rainbow six siege, not overwatch

[copper fulcrum]

Better comparison but not exactly close

[scenic tartan]

you dont see hackers anywhere near as much as BF4 or BFV

[scenic tartan]

the R6 operators are basically the same

[violet sluice]

Because BF4 and V have more players.

[sullen heath]

these games had server browser and hired servers though so just stick to them and the hackers get banned by the mods we dont have that here

[scenic tartan]

BFV has more sometimes, less sometimes in the day. Its also on sale for $10 all the time

[copper fulcrum]

Kinda but less restrictive

[raw vale]

Falck - Doc
Dozer - Blitz
Irish - Jager
Mackay - Amaru
Angel - Rook

[copper fulcrum]

Imagine if Dozer can use his pistol with his shield lol

[raw vale]

yea you're kinda right lol

[violet sluice]

2042 is brand new and had a free weekend, and 50% off sale less than a month after launch and it still couldn't retain players.

[raw vale]

dozer is blitz actually since he can sprint with his shield up front

[scenic tartan]

because they haven't made any updates for a month and the game is $60 now. Steam numbers also only account for 1/4 or less of the playercount

[violet sluice]

Steam is a reflection of what is more than likely happening on other platforms as well.

The copium is strong with this one.

[sullen heath]

Can anyone even see them being able to pull this game back? I reckon they'll just abandon it tbh

far to much damage

[scenic tartan]

well, it would make a lot of people happy i guess. But they will continue working on it

[violet sluice]

They've said they're committed so we will see. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[viscid mesa]

itll never be as big as it could have been

[scenic tartan]

The internet perception of the game is totally out of whack with what the game actually is

[sullen heath]

Yeah being committed and succeeding are 2 completely different things

[raw vale]

they're comitted to ruining the franchise 💀

[violet sluice]

At least they're committed!

[scenic tartan]

there's a few thousand people on the internet who hate it and hate EA and are working trolling overtime to get the game to die

ultimately the internet/reddit haters are irrelevant

[raw vale]

i believe 2042 will be the last battlefield game i'll ever get if the hero shooter clown fiesta continues in the next title. thankfully, 2042 was gifted to me so i never spent a single cent

i still fell scammed despite not spending

[sullen heath]

Thats not the case at all? People just want battlefield for what battlefield is not what they have given us you cannot expect the fan base not to be raging over what they have done. A lot of people myself included have been waiting for this game since BF4 and that is a very long time to wait for a game to then be hugely disappointed like this is just rough asf

[scenic tartan]

After BFV was trashed and sold poorly its no wonder they tried something new
The market told them that a traditional battlefield game wasn't what they wanted

[sullen heath]

no

[scenic tartan]

like people love to say "don't be sad, this is just how it works out sometimes"

[raw vale]

The market told them that a traditional battlefield game wasn't what they wanted no one said this tho?

[sullen heath]

we didnt want another old war shooter we wanted modern im pretty sure that was the issue for most i was gutted when they announced it was ww again

[scenic tartan]

The internet hated BFV since before it came out, it sold way worse than BF1, and the player counts dropped off and people never stopped hating on it
Then EA changes the game for the next one and everyone is shocked? lol

Congratulations, you got what you asked for.

[violet sluice]

Also add DICE's tone-deaf responses to the community during BFV & 2042 and lackluster products and this is what happens.

[sullen heath]

I truly believe that was due to the era people wanted a BF like BF4 crazy amounts of guns and attachments to unlock you didnt have that with bf1 and bf5 it gets boring fast

[scenic tartan]

The 2042 situation is an exact repeat of the BFV launch and reception
People just forget. Its the same agenda - bad guy EA needs to be taken down

[raw vale]

BFV was hated because of the reveal trailer and SJW shit they put up. It was never hated because it has the same battlefield formula. Look at people now jumping to BFV, they like the gunplay and movement and still felt like what a battlefield game should be

[scenic tartan]

its just very conveninent because now people get to point back at BFV and say it was so good, when they were shitting on it when it was being supported.

its all fake and hypocritical

[raw vale]

obligatory: fuck battle royales

[sullen heath]

Your points are completely invalid lagomorph... The reason we have a BF like it is is because it was going to be a battle royale only game nothing to do with them changing it because of how badly bf5 got shat on. Please stop talking nonsense

[scenic tartan]

and what elements of the battle royale exist in 2042 as released? none

[sullen heath]

The heroes class system? the very thing everyone hates the most?

[violet sluice]

Specialists, terrible maps, lack of all chat, scoreboards, lack of weapons.

[scenic tartan]

rainbow six siege is what its most closely modeled after and that's not a battle royale
it also came out before all the Battle royale craze was around

[sullen heath]

Your literally just here for an argument not listening to anyone just saying what you want to say and stirring the pot. Be quiet

[visual gazelle]

That's just hero shooters in general, heh. It's not exclusive to battle royales.

[scenic tartan]

i didn't know terrible maps, lack of chat, scorebaoard, and lack of weapons were what makes a game a battle royale

[worn whale]

wait till you guys hear about overwatch

[scenic tartan]

Didnt you know, overwatch is a battle royale

[raw vale]

one core gameplay mechanic of battle royales is changing attachments, in pubg, you have to open your inventory and drag attachments to change it, the plus system was probably made to made it easier to change

[violet sluice]

You asked what remnants we're in 2042 and I listed some. Those things do not exist in BR games, and the maps you can easily tell we're designed with BR in mind.

[sullen heath]

you dont get scoreboards in royales from what i remember? fortnite had less weapons on release im sure of that

[scenic tartan]

and so he proves my point that there is no battle royale DNA in the released version of 2042.

[sullen heath]

There is lol the heroes are basically a copy of an apex style royale

[scenic tartan]

By just spitting out a list of cliches of what he doesn't like about the game instead.

[raw vale]

PUBG is now free to play, can the people who asked for battlefield br play that game instead.

[violet sluice]

Like I said earlier the copium is strong in @scenic tartan

[sullen heath]

Your like talking to a brick wall lol

[scenic tartan]

and you fall back to "copium" when your points are nonsense

[sullen heath]

This guy is unbearable lol

[raw vale]

TRUE

[scenic tartan]

do you have any more cliches to throw out?

[worn whale]

there is... devs even said that the game was originally made for battle royal, almost 2 years in development then the devs woke up and remembered that they're making a battlefield game so they had like 10 months to create all of this

[violet sluice]

What makes them nonsense? I listed clear reasons to your question and all you can say is it's nonsense. What about it is nonsense exactly?

[sullen heath]

He gotta be trolling right? lol

[scenic tartan]

maybe you'd like to call me a shill or something

[raw vale]

"copy what's popular"
-EA

[next isle]

Link me to where devs said this

[scenic tartan]

so then the complaint is that the game feels rushed and is lacking content? I would agree.

But its not a battle royale

[scenic tartan]

Everything you said as a reason why it feels like a battle royale are just generic complaints about the game and have nothing to do with a battle royale

[sullen heath]

You could very easily dump this games guns and characters into a battle royale map today and it would be decent

[raw vale]

you can also call it Fieldbattle and make it a new IP

[scenic tartan]

thats pretty much what warzone did with call of duty. its true for any game

[violet sluice]

What exactly? The specialists we're designed with a BR in mind, the maps we're designed with a BR in mind as well. Those two things alone ruin the Battlefield experience.

[winged coyote]

Both of you have valid points here. Lago is right in saying that EA changed the direction if battlefield after bf5 failed so hard. Since then they abandoned the battlefield formula and copied other games in an attempt to copy other games success (warzone and apex). Along that same line, you guys are rights about the game being built off a battle royale, cause there's way too many hints that BR was in mind early in development. It wouldn't make sense for EA to try modulate success of other games without trying to push dice into adopting the battle royale formula, or parts of it at least

[sullen heath]

Yeah but cod ruined itself a long time ago battlefield never followed the crowd it stuck to its original roots and style and we loved it and now for some reason they have gone so far away from it when nobody wanted that

[scenic tartan]

these maps have distinct control points spread around with designed gameplay flow around holding them
What battle royale does that? The specialists are just enhancements/new types of gadgets essentially

[sullen heath]

if your comparing COD and battlefield then you should just leave this discord now anyway imo

[scenic tartan]

not comparing them, just saying that you can drop any game's shooting mechanics into a BR map and add an inventory system
Apex did it with titanfall
Cod did it with warzone
But somehow this applies to battlefield only?

[sullen heath]

nobody is saying its a battle royale dude? We are simply saying it was supposed to be

[scenic tartan]

i was told that the game doesn't feel like battlefield because its a battle royale? i hear it all the time

[violet sluice]

Control points alone don't make it a Battlefield game. There is a lack of choke points, and cover for infantry. The maps feel as if the game was designed specifically for vehicles alone.

[sullen heath]

Im not saying that? neither is anyone here that i have seen we just simply said the games designed for battle royale

[scenic tartan]

ok, but that doesn't mean it feels like a battle royale. The maps need more cover and better flow.

[sullen heath]

This is 100% truth

[scenic tartan]

ok, so its a battlefield game then

[sullen heath]

man the hero classes alone make it feel like a royale

[violet sluice]

You are confused or something. Nobody here said the game is a BR, we said it was designed as BR originally, and switched to a BF later in it's development cycle. The remnants of that are spread throughout 2042.

[scenic tartan]

"2042 is a battlefield game in name only, depending on your definition of "battlefield""
then what is it?

[slow kraken]

Lol, BF1 is almost at the same amount of players as BF2042 on Steam and BF5 has like 10k more players than 2042. I hope this affects Seasons/Battle Pass sales for 2042 and gives EA and DICE a wake up call. Sad to see the state of BF right now ngl.

[violet sluice]

What did you say right before I said that?

I quoted you so it's easy to see.

[sullen heath]

its heart breaking for battlefield fans im still playing and enjoying it but its becoming a struggle now

[rough meteor]

still havent been able to get a match of hazard zone in no luck in matchmaking

[violet sluice]

Nobody wants to play that broken mode. Especially without voip.

[foggy crest]

is your profile picture from spotify ads ?

[raw vale]

hazard zone more like dead game mode zone am i right gottem

[rough meteor]

wouldnt even know

[rough meteor]

dunno it is default choosings

[scenic tartan]

battlefield 1 and battlefield V are really popular when its like, super early morning for some reason. I think a lot of international players

[sullen heath]

the maps are trash nothing like what we usually get you literally get shat on constantly by vehicles and snipers theres hardly any cover at all good pilots in this game must be so happy its unreal. Then theres the class system no idea why you would take out something that has been the very core of BF since i can remember

[earnest verge]

apperantly hazard zone had so few players they even stoped reporting player count internaly after first week

[foggy crest]

looks cool tho )

[sullen heath]

wheres our infantry only map as well

[slow kraken]

Soon

[sullen heath]

shame we dont have hired servers for a 24/7 of this map

[scenic tartan]

It sounds like you're not very good at the game. If you dont run through open fields all the time you shouldn't be getting "shit on constantly" by vehicles

Scout helis are the strongest against grouped infantry, tanks have really low splash damage against infantry, and the light vehicles aren't really that big a threat since the 30mm was nerfed

[violet sluice]

They're so out of touch I can easily see them releasing a payed map pack and splitting the already small 2042 community.

[scenic tartan]

I would recommend using AA or soflam and try to discourage helis from swarming points you're attacking or defending

[sullen heath]

i think a lot more people would enjoy this game if they just gave us infantry only versions as the maps are unbearable for people that dont enjoy vehicles myself being one of those

[hardy leaf]

what if EA shuts down servers of all battlefield games but 2042 to force it down our throats?

[scenic tartan]

as usual, the complaints about the game come from people being bad at it or getting killed by helis, which are too strong, but also in the hallowed BF4 you would see heli pilots go 50-2 all the time..

[violet sluice]

A lot more people would enjoy this game if they made it a Battlefield game. They can keep specialists but have them locked to classes, and make thoughtfully designed maps instead of only open fields.

[idle atlas]

games poop regardless of skill

[slow kraken]

Then a lot of people would just stop playing BF altogether

[sullen heath]

not very good at it lol dude please just stop it now. One person cannot take down a tank you spawn with not even enough rockets to solo one its DUMB and plz the amount of flares the air vehicles have...........................

[scenic tartan]

come on man, these "what ifs" are just masturbatory fantasies for people eager to see fans upset at this point

[violet sluice]

If that happened 2042 would die out even faster.

[sullen heath]

getting constantly run over by boltes as well its just stupid

[scenic tartan]

one person couldn't take down a tank in BFV either, they had a ton of armor and the launchers were weak, it took like 5 hits

[hardy leaf]

not with a perfect shot on tank you can immobilize it

[scenic tartan]

Using irish and dropping a portable cover stops a bolte instantly, shoot the driver, and have a laugh.
Boltes also slow down after a single hit from the M5 and are easy sitting ducks

[tender folio]

[hardy leaf]

tho its hard to hit 2 perfect shots on tank

[sullen heath]

dude your literally explaining the perfect situations to be coming up against them

[rough meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/dodgeball-ouch-if-you-can-dodge-a-wrench-gif-14052268

[empty bloom]

fail

[scenic tartan]

I just did it in a match yesterday
When i use the bolte i get hit by M5 and slowed all the time

[violet sluice]

The vast majority of the community dislikes 2042 as it currently is. We will see in the coming months what changes EA/DICE brings to the game to appease them and I personally am cautiously optimistic they bring in the right changes.

[sullen heath]

im on about when your just playing your game then you get mowed down which happens to absolutely everyone. Everyone i play with on this discord which is a lot moan about it and here you are the only guy thats ok with it lol stfu

[slow mulch]

When i try to m5 a bolt and get hit by the bolt i seem to do a moon walk

[scenic tartan]

idk if you dont react when you hear that bolte going VRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMM idk what to tell you

[idle atlas]

if their vision for BF continues to be hero shooters, then its back to square one

[sullen heath]

frozen to the spot when your shot by the cannons its literally like your rubber banding

[scenic tartan]

the thing is loud as hell you cant really sneak up on people

[violet sluice]

@sullen heath he's got about as much copium as this guy does.

[sullen heath]

when theres loads of explosions going off yeah it is hard to hear

[slow kraken]

I feel the game will improve but the game for me is pretty bad down to it's core so I can't see how they will improve it that much.

[slow mulch]

You do have to hide from it. Unless you want death?

[violet sluice]

It's got foundational problems and those are one of the biggest changes the community is asking for.

[scenic tartan]

thats an excuse, the bolte is not sneaky or easy to miss, with the 30mm nerf its hard to even kill a few people before it overheats

I dont understand the bolte being worse than a scout heli flanking a line of infantry and dumping rockets

[slow mulch]

I'm just giving you my personal experience.

[slow kraken]

Lmao, playing against bots in 2042 is as much fun as watching paint dry

[wise zodiac]

Let's not talk down on people who enjoy the game, and let's not talk down on people who dislike it either.

[radiant echo]

no

[tender folio]

this

[reef kestrel]

Can we talk how great today is?

[wise zodiac]

You can state your thoughts and opinions without insults.

[arctic grove]

Was good yall

[slow kraken]

Then BF as we knew it will be gone sadly

[sullen heath]

haha wtf is this

[violet sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/covid-pandemic-school-gif-19176346

[tender folio]

oh no, it means i would rant cause today is bad for me. lol

[scenic tartan]

If you hear a bolte coming it gets attention and you become a target quick, this always happens when i use it because i try to find infantry grouped behind cover to drop cluster mines, but 9/10 times its a suicide run and i get blown up fast

[reef kestrel]

ah sorry.

[tender folio]

it's okay. hope you have great day there.

[reef kestrel]

Hero Shooter.

Remember when Tom said they planned to release a sort of clown skin.

[sullen heath]

yeah you get blown up easily nobody disputing that but getting run over during that suicide run is triggering asf

[raw vale]

imagine if Trevor Noah hosted the 2042 reveal, the game could have been more successful /s

[scenic tartan]

so the medic in the group comes and does some revives, its disrupting but you die to shit you cant see all the time in battlefield that isnt new

[idle atlas]

It has for sure, and I dont think they would be interested in pulling the game and coming back better. Its all about the money, and hero shooters are currently many money 💰 and battle royales

[sullen heath]

you cant revive when your run over? lol
