[@TheQuadLaunchers]

My biggest issue with the game is still how the guns feel/handle. I never stopped playing BF3, so I came from BF3 to 2042, and the portal guns aren’t even close to what they were. Also, bullets don’t exit guns at a 45 degree angle in real life.

[@thebigsam]

They do in BF3

[@TheQuadLaunchers]

@@thebigsam They don’t. Even while suppressed combined with spread, shots still fire “straight” from your reference. It might be from a slightly different point of reference within the ADS, but remaining in reference to where you’re standing, shots still travel in a straight line. Shots do NOT exit the barrel as if the barrel itself were flopping around pointing left and right of your reticle only to hit something to your 2’o’clock. It’s for this reason why in BF3 you can as a sniper, be suppressed, while you yourself are strafing left/right, and still happen to land a shot. Sorry for the ramble. Sick rn with not much else to do. 😂

[@thebigsam]

@@TheQuadLaunchers nah, you good. Rant is valid. You are still wrong tho. Sniper rifles in BF3 have significantly less spread than other categories. You clearly haven't played with high-recoil high-spread gun in BF3.

[@cherrypoptart2001]

literally what they did to the ACW is horrid, the ACW in older battlefields had 880rpm and laser liker recoil. in 2042 its rate of fire is almost like the AK24 and u cant beam ppl at long range unless u single or burst fire or just get lucky. The only guns that they did good was the MTAR and M416. The AEK in this game feels like it has less range and more spread than the smgs lol

It's not only the worst Battlefield game ever made, it didn't even feel like a Battlefield game, so most of the fans just left and never looked back The thing is: You never get a second chance to make a first impression... I don't know what they were thinking when they made this game. It's like they just decided to scrap that time proven battlefield formula and instead copy a bunch of elements from other games, including hero shooters, and hope that it would somehow work. But it didn't. The game even launched without a scoreboard, and they only recently implemented a squad management system, but even that is severely lacking and you can't even kick players to make room for friends... No wonder Battlebit has become so popular. A low poly game which at first glance looks just like a parody of battlefield. But they actually give people what they want. Dice has something to learn there. If they want to have any hope of bringing back the battlefield fans for their next game, they need to go back to the roots of battlefield, and not try to reinvent the wheel again. They have a winning formula with Battlefield 3 and 4. Just try to copy that formula, and enhance it instead of totally changing it. People just wanted improved movement mechanics, better graphics etc. Nobody wanted specialists, the removal of the scoreboard, server browser and classes, dumbed down vehicle mechanics etc.

[@squashiejoshie200000]

Keep up the work. It's an ok video, but you need to do a deeper analysis. The difference between 128 players and 64 players and server stress was a huge part of the game's early failures with things like server connection issues, hit reg issues, and server performance issues being major issues for players for the first couple of months. 2042's lack of content is, well, wrong. It's a statement that has helped the dev team ignore portal almost totally. It's because everyone reviewing 2042 ignores portal when it comes to content. They always said "7 maps, 30-something weapons, 2 modes". But that discounts portal. With portal, you have 12 maps and over 70 weapons on launch. That's more than any previous game shipped with. It also had an additional 2 modes in portal at launch, TDM and Rush. Not to mention everything else you could make in portal. Your "Based" opinion of the store working while the game wasn't... You do know that they delayed the first season by over 3 months to put everything they had into making the game work right? And that the beginning of season 2 was when people started saying "it's good now" right? They skipped out on a season, pretty much just included basic cosmetics just for a weekly mission for people to work towards, and put everything into making the game good. You seem to think that Breakthrough is designed for the attackers to win. That's not true. It's designed for the attackers to reach the last sector. Whether they do that with the maximum ticket count or the minimum ticket count is irrelevant, and they don't always do it. Some maps are favored for the attacker, and some for the defender purely on objective placement and number per sector. In the end, who wins or loses is determined more by player skill than who's attacking or defending on a map. "Where's operations?" It's breakthrough. Operations is breakthrough. The only difference is it's on individual maps and not chained through 3 maps. It means that you don't rely on a team to get you through to maps 2 and 3. It's shorter on average because the attackers only have to push through 3-5 sectors instead of 9-15. "The destruction just feels subpar." It's at worst equal to bf3. On average, it's equal to bf4, except without the one copy-pasted building that falls down, and the primary difference is the lack of levolution... on some maps. Spearhead has a good one. Opening the tanker doors on discarded doesn't have the spectacle of Shanghai's tower, but it's there. The rocket exploding isn't half bad. The weather effects exist too. Most walls can be broken down and there are level altering effects on a few of the AOW maps. "Live service is a soulless predatory model." It can definitely have a soul. Take a real deep look at bf5. I mean a really deep look. Look at the maps that came out on launch, and really look at the history of those maps. Then follow through the seasons and look at each map as they came out. Look at the maps as they are now. The answer is: They started at the beginning of 1940 with the German invasion of France. Operation Claymore. The Africa campaign. The invasion of Rotterdam. Then we got the invasion of Sicily. and finally in 1943 the US joined the war. Who knows what would have come next, but it started at 1940 and was progressing through the war as the live service continued. Then at the end, there wasn't enough dev time to make a D-Day invasion, but we can know it happened because the initial French maps changed with breakthrough reversing. It went from Brits defending and Germans attacking to Germans defending while Americans attack. I don't think many people even noticed.

@@0uttaS1TEhey threw it all out the window for solo infantry streamer moments. Tanks and jets are worthless in this game. Infantry are able to kill anything and everything regardless. Streamers play mackay and sundance the most, why? Because of game breaking anti battlefield movement abilities and they have the ability to carry C4 so enemy vehicles have literally zero counter play against even the most basic and noobiest mackay and sundance players carrying C4. Helicopters are king for vehicles because there is practically no jets and ground vehicles capable of checking them. The only thing that could possibly check a helicopter is the railgun tank that HAS to sit inside their base to avoid the extremely oppressive infantry players that can one hit kill them the moment they want a tank dead.

That montage in the intro of all the different battlefield youtubers was quite sad for me, reminded me of when I used to follow them all through every upload when BF1 was at it's biggest. Man I miss tuning in to Levelcaps Loadout series and commenting my loadouts hoping to get featured. Simpler times. It was real downer when BF2042 came out and all of them slowly moved on to greener pastures.

I’ve been playing since Battlefield Bad Company, although my first online experience was BFBC2. I loved this series, BF3 and 4 was my joy, I could play them without feeling bored. The amount of love they kept bringing to the series was why I loved their games, the chaos, big battles, unique play styles, there was a lot of options to play BF. I loved both BF1 and BFV (Fun Fact my most time played is BFV with 6,000 hours.) This BF broke my heart, as a long time fan I tried to play this for the first 3 months and it just didn’t feel like a BF game, it released in the worst state ever. The fact the development team wants us fans to be patient after their mistakes and we have to be patience for them to make chances is a huge slap in the face. I couldn’t continue playing, I’ve done the whole going back to a previous title before when Hardline released and unfortunately I don’t wanna put another 6,000 hours on BFV even if I do love it I’m burnt out from it, I don’t fancy going to other titles just to get that BF feeling. 2 years later I haven’t returned on any of their titles and found love for other games.

[@tristanabel9851]

I’d honestly rather pay for premium again like older titles and have the guarantee of maps, weapons, etc on a timely manner and with a set quality minimum that prevents rushed and under thought out ideas

[@Devinn504]

People cried to much about splitting up the community, so that’s never coming back.

[@SAMMYGNW]

I disagree with most requests you have. I am really enjoying the current state of 2042 and am hoping it doesn’t end in season 6. I believe you are trying to convince DICE to return their MO to a state suited for older games such as BF4. Don’t get me wrong, those days were great, I am a veteran of battlefield games myself. But they are just trying to evolve the series. This may not appeal to all veterans of the title but it also has the advantage of expanding its audience. Not every change to the core traditional gameplay is bad, learn to embrace some of these improvements.

[@andreidmny]

Great analysis, very much in line with what I felt for 2042. To be honest, despite the consensus in the community, BF 2042's strongest element is the art design. I love the aesthetics of the maps, the music, even the cosmetics. If only they made different specialists for each faction, it would've been nearly flawless. However, this game left so much to be desired, despite of the decent comeback they managed to achieve.

[@Kasual7]

Funny how most of these so-called Battlefield Veterans were acting like 2042 was a fine Battlefield game and people were overacting. Absolute hypocrite and shills, trying not to burn any bridges with EA basically and sweet talked in all of their videos. If you're a BF fan it's clear that 2042 was the absolute worse of them all, and you could clearly see this from miles aways that something was up with the game from the moment they were acting cagy at the reveal.

[@Orgi3]

I never understood why i keep seeing thats its better now. It seems like its still has the same flaws. Like straight up downgraded destruction, weak art style, less features, 120 players is unplayable without highend crap and cheap feeling gunplay. Its all still there.

[@chriscolbert2188]

People really love the series so I get why they want 2042 to get better, but the core game itself SUCKS. They shouldn't have to literally rework a game for nearly 2 years, plus it won't fix the big problems. The maps suck, the specialists are cringe, the game runs like shit, there's still not a lot of viable guns, UI is hideous, I can keep going. Calling this a good bf, means bf is dead. Countless lies were told too like the beta issues being ironed out, that the beta was an "old build". THE BETA RAN BETTER 😂

[@RonaldAsks]

I disagree on the weapon profficiency system. In previous titles like bf 4 you could have the best weapons in the game as the assault class but you were practically defenseless against vehicles. And they could have fixed this by making the utility weapon category universal for all classes just like the shotguns, DMR's and carbines/PDW's in Battlefield 3 and 4. Dice is also forcfully combining the support and medic class into one when they should be 2 seperate classes. You can also still break the game by using a sniper rifle with an ammo box so you never run out of ammo where as in previous titles that was only a thing for the support class with LMG's. And btw why does the engineer class, the class with rocket launchers, have an LMG related weapon profficiency? Dice should really make the class system more like it was in Battlefield 2 with some minor adjustments. Think of it like this: Assault, Medic, Support, Enforcer (from hardline, shield guy with shotguns, battle rifles, gas grenades and gas masks), Anti-tank, Engineer, Recon, Special forces. Now even today a large majority of the features from that reddit post are still missing. Not to mention that 2042 lacks overall attention to detail, destruction, graphics, atmosphere and especially the movement, which is such an unacceptable downgrade from Battlefield V that it baffles me.

[@cherrypoptart2001]

Ive played this game a lot since launch, it has come a long way, if u gave me 2042 as it is right now instead of what we got at launch, i would be very happy, its a night and day difference.

Battlefield 2042 is not a Battlefield that's the only truth, no milsim, no destruction, shit music, shit ambiance, no balance, empty big map, too much dev weapon (or noob weapon), weapon with no feeling, shit graphics (Battlefield 1 a 2016 game look better, still no other game make a better destruction).

I'm still playing BF1 as if BFV and 2042 never came out, and whenever I ask other players in BF1 what they think they say the same thing. So as far as I'm concerned, Dice was shut down by EA after Battlefront 2 and there were no other BF games after BF1.

I gotta say Bravo. I really appreciated the work you have put in this. Im a big fan of your editing and narration. You just got a sub. I agree with most of it. Ive been playing since day 1. It's been a rollercoaster. I understand that it's little too late for many. But for me it has surpassed BFV and Hardline in terms of fun. I enjoy the fast pace game. I love the action. I really dont mind the specialist and I prefer 128 to 64 players on 2042 maps. However I am all for a return to a gritty and more grounded atmosphere like bf3-4 with modern 4k graphics. If 2042 launched like this it would have been different Im sure. If it had a campaign, specialist would have been accepted I think. They really did a good job turning it around but fans are already butthurt and the content drop is way too little and too slow. All in all I think 2042 might have been the best thing to happen to Dice combined with the success of battlebit. Good video Bravo again.

[@ProReborn]

Thank you so much! Me and my editor make an amazing team!

[@paperboy1116]

Honestly, I think Specialists could have worked - as call-ins. BF1 showed off “super classes” and one of Battlefront’s main mechanics is calling in Heroes to turn the tide of battle. 2042 already has the groundwork for it: squad orders and building credits in game (current Season 5 event). Obviously this can’t be done now, far too gone, but next game I can see it being implemented while retaining the class system. It’d add a lot to the franchise.

[@constable117]
