Battlefield 2042 had an interesting update today...

Battlefield 2042 Redux is live but it treads old ground and 128 player Rush is absolute madness. Let's jump back in and test it out. Looking forward to Season 6. Leave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching.

Even Jack concedes the Rush XL attack on Caspian is ludicrous.

[@JustARegularPlayer]

Those guys should have known their match was terrible when their teammate named JackFrags suddenly ragequitted

[@galipundra7393]

i have to say i won attacking on caspianborder more than once if you have good tank players it is only a matter of time before the defence breaks

[@RxalisM]

I think they should reverse the attack on Caspian border, start at military base and attack small village, then the the hill, then down to the checkpoint. wouldn't be much better but I feel like it'd at least get out of the first two OBJ.

[@JesusChrist-qs8sx]

So many Rush layouts would be better if they reversed. Noshahr Canals is the same way, crossing the water is damn near impossible.

[@RxalisM]

@@JesusChrist-qs8sx yessir, even Arica too.

[@agronnak]

Indeed. It looks like they didn't even test how Rush and Breakthrough flows on most maps. Some are so obvious just by opening the map. And the "New" Rush XL just makes it even worse with 128 players.

[@andregurov]

I think they should have true chaos and open ALL the MCOMs at one time. It would spread the defense out a little bit and make it to where you have to choose what you defend and what you don't.

[@GremlinSciences]

Arica Harbor actually isn't bad, unless they flipped it going from regular Rush to Rush XL. (I don't think I've played Rush XL, but I do use Rush to farm challenges and quick unlocks) Once you take the compound, you can actually safely cross the ridgeline through OoB on foot to catch the defending team unaware. Grab a LTV or Bolte and you can hit the boost to zip through the OoB on a longer flank to strike from right in front of the defenders' own spawn.@@RxalisM It only ends up being difficult because this flank is not used effectively, everyone either just rushes down the road or only cuts across the ridge enough to trim a few seconds off the travel time instead of going for an actual flank.

Dude has a KD of 13.7 with 2300 kills only playing 29 matches, without ANY gadget, or equipment kills. Defo cheating. 😂

[@BattlefieldFan.]

That is for sure 100% cheating. He would have had to run a perfect game every match and average over 100 kills per game to get 2300 kills in 29 matches. I have almost 4800 kills but and a little over 3400 deaths and just about 200 hours into the game with 418 games played. So yea I called cheater. Now I have had a perfect game not nothing that perfect that game I only got 56 kills and died between 10 and 15 times and I was using a take on break away where the Meg is in the ice before rework and that was the only perfect game I had on 2042 that I can remember

I sure would have liked to have a campaign to explore the lore because it does seem like it might be interesting.

This entire video is the most battlefield thing I have seen in 2042 so far. Great video, Jack! Have a good day everyone

[@mrtron7837]

Battlefield games in Australia and NewZealand on PC have typically suffered with cheating and now with Crossplay pretty much enforced to find servers, console players are suffering as well. DICE and EA need to do better with improving their anti-cheat or remove the ability to crossplay with PC players.

[@jaredturner4089]

Do agree with the first bit but the second bit not so much, Dice has got to fix the consoles snapping to grid through walls and smoke. Also got to stop the constant random head shots. If you can only see there head and you are hitting them then you should get a headshot, not get a head shot because it is the last bullet in your gun BS. You also need to be able to swap teams, basic stuff that Dice hasn't done. Also don't get me started about the shield guy or the mini chopper.

[@horseyhammond1329]

[@robert_5974]

Won Caspian Border on Rush Chaos XL last night on my first game. That mode isnt about K/D, its about how you possibly break the front lines. Usually by brute force and usually on the backs of people like me who will give one to get one and the tram can capitalize.

[@Sasparillafizz]

It's hard to come up with lore when your Specialists play both sides of the fence....against themselves, lol. The fact they abandoned the original game and did this one in the last 2 years of development really shows here. Please let them have different Specialists for each army or really just separate armies for the next one.

[@KontrolStyle]

It's so sad people have to cheat to have fun in games. I'm on the bottom of the score board most of the time, and i have a blast. When you get those amazing plays and you start getting aimed for (happened maybe three times) is what us non-cheaters play for. nerf to M5 is going to make heli's harder to kill, unless your team focuses on it - why they won't, my teams usually have 50% snipers.

[@MumboJumboZXC]

I hate that as battlefield has gotten older, people target vehicles less and less and allow them to run rampant as a result because “hurr durr Call of Duty” infantry combat is all they care about

[@agronnak]

​@@MumboJumboZXCthat's actually true. Plays more like a CoD than a battlefield, and people play like it as well. Even with people in the chat asking for smokes to flank and push an obj or people to focus on vehicles, they just ignore and play like it was CoD multiplayer with infantry only.

Nice to see jack feeling how some of us do about BF2042 we literally get spawn killed most of the time and it feels like no control over the battlefield or contrabution from other players jump in to battlefield 4 and you will understand where gamers play the objective and you don't get slaughtered spawning or navigating the map

[@kennymilsom]

I am sure I found a easter egg area on this map. One of the buildings on the western side has a level where the windows can be broken and inside is a fully kitted out office. I already know that things can be broken inside from firing from outside. I am sure, there must be a way in - Somewhere.

[@emu071981]

Cheating with the PP-29 seems to be the meta hack at the moment. Had a guy get over 250 kills on Stranded when he was sitting on the ship sniping us on the last point using the PP-29. EA/Dice is really slow at catching and banning them too with them often running the hacks for weeks on end before getting banned.

[@foabmoab]

I've seen a bunch of highly suspect players in recent weeks running the PP-29 and just obliterating everyone at any range with it. People who go over 100 kills per round with less than 20 deaths total (often under ten). Doing that in one round? Sure, might be a good day. But doing it in every round is just giving it away. You can run solo matches against bots and only go infantry and you can be pressed to do 100+ kills with basically free reign against them. Doing that with everyone else racking up kills? I just don't buy it. The number of people you have to actively SEE to get those kills when they're not bunching and you have other players in the match, nah, not legit.

I think 32v32 would have been better. It's great if you are in defense, you Can have easy kills and farm weapons but in attack, the match Can very easily be stucked on some point especially on Caspian Border😅 and I also have a lot of lags After 15-20min on that gamemode and I'm not the only one to have that issue, that's annoying.

Player level S493 would seem to be a full time job of playing 2042 since launch to do that and even that might still be stretch. My buddy is still on Xbox One so I play that version on my Series X with him and there's no PC's where the hacks might be (since PS4 / Xbox One versions are in a sandbox together but no PS5 / Series and PC Versions which are all together). Have not run into hackers there (PS/4 Xbone versions of 2042) so far. The other side of it all is that there wasn't really much of a market for 2042 hacks before (low player numbers and purchase the game for the account so loose real money getting banned), but now (almost free install with gamepass etc. / account and higher player numbers) there might be a bit of one.
