Honestly ! I bought 2042 recently for like 15$ on the series x and it looks good and it’s fun (now) but it’s so Arcady and twitchy movement. Would definitely prefer BF5 mechanics and visuals in 2042 setting

[@shutara1]

@@chrisbrown113096 This is exactly the case for me. Overall dumbed-down mechanics with arcade playstyle cranked up to eleven. This + scarcity of content and the fact that support for this game will cease after Season4 makes me rather launch bf4/1/5 on ultra settings and have more satisfying and eye-pleasing experience. World War 3 (oh the irony) looks interesting as well, but I can't shake the feeling of it being "the uglier cousin of BF4". But surely I wish them all the best and keep my fingers crossed with time all the cheap quirks shall get polished (pun intended).

Fortifications were such a genius idea imo. In almost every battlefield game people cap a flag and just sprint off. This gave u a reason and something to do to stay and defend. Plus it added more destruction to the maps as they could be blown up and rebuilt multiple times.

It is true that the SAS used the Sten, and is also true that they cocked it and throw it into a fortified position and the gun was so badly designed that it started shooting as it hit the floor until it emptied the magazine. A handy way to clear a room without granades. A random funny fact about the gun 😉

[@bugbuster8598]

Polish resistance was also unhappy with it, so they modified it and created Błyskawica (Lightning) - from what I know it was way better than the original and considering it was made by people living daily under brutal german occupation, one can believe it was a challange to not only create prototype, but also mass-produce it.

Love using the Sten in this game, such great balance of weight and power with great rate of fire and accuracy, shame that the real one had absolutely none of those qualities.

Jack is absolutely right about SBS although they would be some the few that would get to use silenced Stens.
