I just recently decided to finally get 2042 after absolutely hating the beta because of your videos and I’ve been having so much fun. For better or worse, no game quite has that same feeling as Battlefield. I love being able to have games where I just passenger gunner a tank for the round, others where I just heal and revive people and barely fire a shot, or a round where I’m just completely focused on taking out helicopters. No matter what you do it really feels like it’s making a difference. So glad I have it another chance.

[@innosar1142]

Your videos are always a treat. You and faze Jev are the only ones I watch when it comes to shooting games 👌

[@mickr8438]

Loved the video Jack, so many you tubers think there special when all they show is either a full video of quick scoping sniper action or trashing everyone from a tank/chopper, you however have just shown that when you play your role in a team its just as fun. Keep up the good work Jack. TEAM WORKS DREAM WORK.

Thermals need more distortion, there is almost no disadvantage to using over a regular scope while having massive advantage.

[@sonotbarrybee2807]

Got 2042 right after they put out the new update, only complaints are the grind to get new weapons/weapon mods and the fact that an smg can engage a sniper at 200+ meters. Other than that it seems pretty fun.

[@CoandaImageServices]

The 50ish GB update downloaded incredibly fast on my starlink connection and ran really well. I didn’t notice the FPS numbers, but it felt really smooth, and I’m normally 90-120 FPS. I got injured for no reason when jumping from the cliff right after the jump, and navigating the edge of the new oil terminal was really clunky and caused me to fall. I’m a bit bummed I can’t play with the same gadgets I had before, but whatev.

Following the recent class update, I feel confident to give the game another try. Previously, the objective of individual soldiers seemed somewhat vague, but now, it's clear what actions to take based on your role as a medic, engineer, or the like. As a result, you can methodically progress towards the objective. It's difficult to articulate what I mean, but...yeah. I might return to BF and the thought feels comforting and fluffy.
