Sorry, Battlefield 2042 Is Not a Good Game

I do not understand how people are calling Battlefield 2042 a good game after the biggest content trickle we've ever seen, and the worst launch ever.

Battlefield 2042 has been one long grueling session of watching DICE learn how to make a video game all over again.

Tbf most of the original devs of the _good_ battlefields have left, and so have the people responsible for executive design choices etc. It's not us watching dice learn how to do it again, we're watching a different DICE learning it for the first time Also, by now the game is definitely enjoyable. Not nearly the quality it's like but worth the 18 bucks I spent on buying myself the full copy today. Luckily there was a free week so I could test it. I owned it on console on release and it was HELL, now it is super fun and pretty addicting, just how I like my battlefield. Sometimes frustrating because TTK and balancing is a bit off, but it's a solid game now Only real problem I have is an issue where the game won't boot, which is a problem of the EA launcher I'm pretty sure

[@Tuelz...]

The issue with this which I'm starting to learn as I get older is this game was never meant for old BF fans. The reason we keep complaining is because we want the old BF basically but EA wants a newer fanbase. This reminds me of R6S and everyone hated it but they didn't change it because they knew they would lose the old fanbase but gain a new one. The last two BF games clearly was trying to get rid of us and gain a new fanbase but the games were trash so it didn't work. At least R6S was decent so it worked out for them. Tbh I just let BF go after 2042. I'll appreciate the BF for what it was and I hope the new fans like the direction the game is going in

[@Echelon111999]

Most of you guys really dont see the real situation behind these games that are coming out recently. Take this piece of dog shit game for example. They knew the backlash would come from revealing the face of the sundance character so they hid it in their trailers. They never showed the goofy characters before preorders. For the most part of the trailer, they were showing us the properly dressed AI characters and when they showed any operator it was the serious and the tactical looking ones. So this shows one thing that they know what will trigger us beforehand and what we like and with these selective trailers they are manipulating their player base and after they take their pre-order money, they reveal what they were hiding from us. Now you start to question. they know the problems with their games before release, they know it will fail, but who is forcing them to make these changes?

Can someone tell me why doesn't EA take the best most popular Battlefield games, leave them as they are and just keep creating new paid maps for them so they can make money that way instead of risking everything on a new title? Just make like 20 new maps every 3-4 years for Battlefield 1, 3 and 4 as a way to at least bring in cash so failed experiments like 2024 don't threaten the franchise?

[@cikuI00]

Yeah, they could also add eastern front to the BFV because this is fucking ridiculous that WW2 game doesn't have it. Also no France or Italy XD

[@trinitas1286]

I think it's because of the weapon mechanism. Unlike Pubg, where everything is consistent, Bf 3,4 has too many limitations and their updates are based on the next versions, which is a serious mistake. Just imagine: a version of Battlefield with beautiful graphics and realistic gun effects like Bodycam, with as many players as Pubg, you face a new fear of UAVs throwing explosives and even while driving a vehicle. increases,...Frostbite explosion effects are optimized,...realistic wars taking place in the world today,...no weapons from the unknown future...

If we want a good game with the next Battlefield then this is the way. Dice has a habit of taking positive feedback and thinking that this is what people want. I guarantee they think specialist are good now and want to bring them to the next game. They will also think quality over quantity will work, instead of thinking quality with quantity will be great when it comes to content. Constructive feedback is better then just telling them how great they are doing.

Alone the fact that you can see the name tags of enemy players makes this game very bad and uplayable, since this will help you alot to kill them (or make it easier for the enemy to kill you).

I could use the same weapon in BFBC2 and BF3 for hundreds of hours and still not get bored of it. Last year when I jumped back on BF3 I was trying weapons I've never even used after over 3000+ hours playtime and I had a blast getting used to them, also being shocked how good they where but mainly the fact that I never got round to even trying them out. Meanwhile 2042 I'm completely bored of them all with 650 hours playtime. Even the newest weapons I find dull and that's because without any learning curve an just having basic pick up and play mechanics makes for a very boring game. You do not have to compensate for anything other than a little bit of recoil that actually feels off or quite random in 2042.

[@Acheron.426]

Recoil, what's that? People nowadays just want to hold the fire button down at any range.

[@KirklandShunk]

I think it's the fact that none of the guns in 2042 have their own personality, if that make sense. No unique recoil patterns to master, all the guns sound almost identical, same reload animations for all, ect. That's part of the reason why I love BF3 & BF4 gunplay. Each gun felt unique.

[@Wolfdog1942]

I feel like the weapons were designed by people who dont know about actual guns in real life they all feel sound and look the same to me somehow 0 passion

Weapons feel so utterly lame to use. You can see it especially in contrast to the current MW2 which arguably has one of the most immersive gunplays to date. Animation and Sound design itself is just on a completely different level. Even though they failed on every other aspect of the game, at least they got the guns right, and those have way more impact on the enjoyment of the game or gameplay than people might think.

Bf4 was a broken disaster for a full year after launch and took 2 years of updates to make it the game it became.

[@byronfranek2706]

Some of the primary technical issues with the game are related to the expansive compatibility list, which expires at the end of season 4. The recent engine threading update noticeably improved high end PC gameplay (not sure if it adversely affected potato rigs), but the server/client update rate is apparently running at 45hz, since "super bullets" are still a problem. I tend to look at BF2042 as a three year CTE for the new engine and next Battlefield, and hopefully they won't format it for children running 10 year old consoles on dialup.

[@lr104ad7]

Not lower tickrare but DICE decided to "update" their lag compensation to make the game more inclusive for "rural player". The same mindset made them get rid of scoreboard. The result is the game's hitreg is utterly broken. This game actually plays better on 100-150ping than lower ping.

Everything you’ve mentioned is absolutely factual, from lack of vehicle mechanics resulting in a lower vehicle skill gap, lack of content, lack of balance, but I’ve got to say the absolute worst thing about this title is the fact it quite simply should of been illegal to advertise it the way they did with the last gen version. It’s a shell of an already broken game… the input delay is worse than anything I’ve ever played in my life (including free IOS games), the already underwhelming full maps are even worse on last gen, and worst of all the single shot glitch that still gets me killed 3/4 times a game at least, etc. I’m having fun, but I will not except people calling this a “good game”, it’s an insult to a franchise I’ve loved for a decade.

[@stratejic1020]

Me and my buddies play this game on last-gen and honestly we don't know what you're talkin about. The game feels really really good in fact the input delay is hardly there at all and they're still patching it but only an idiot wouldn't realize that. Lack of vehicle Mechanics? What do you want the vehicles to do have the ability to do a backflip? Pretty much everything that vehicles can do in the past games they can do in 2042. You really not making much sense here which somehow makes sense and is not surprising.

[@matthewmorley310]

@@stratejic1020 I’m gonna apologise in advance for being rude but you’ve given me good license to ask what is most likely a stupid question at this point in proceedings… Are you fucking deluded? 1: the input delay most certainly is there, and only an idiot would think its acceptable that a year and a half into the life cycle of a game that cost £70 or so the input delay is still this catastrophically bad, especially given that to access half of the features advertised (portal, hazard zone, certain MP modes) you need to enable cross play with next gen/ PC just to find servers, ultimately meaning you have to sacrifice any competitive edge you may have had as a skilled player just for an entry ticket to content you purchased. 2: This is the embarrassing one mate. No……….. I do not want the vehicles to do backflips you colossal moron, and from that display of a complete lack of understanding I’m going to assume you’ve got an IQ below room temperature or haven’t played a battlefield title prior to BFV (or likely, both). In previous games the vehicles had vast skill ceiling’s, a bunch of strats, and it would genuinely take hundreds if not thousands of hours to even understand what mastery even meant for a particular vehicle. In battlefield 2042 the vehicles- and particularly the aircraft- feel floaty, weightless. There is no longer a high level of skill and understanding needed to truly profit of them, just hop in, click ‘assisted flight’😕 and lap up the rewards. The transports are STILL the most powerful vehicles… There are bugs that still make the game almost unplayable. The balance between portal content and AOW content is abysmal to the extent that certain content creators are downright telling people not to use certain portal guns until they’re “fixed”……. A year and a half and 40 something updates in to the games life cycle, and there’s a fucking plethora of other things I could sit here and rant about, but by god I’m obliged to remind you that this game was sold unfinished, broken, to a fan base that were told the game would be a love letter to them. I AM HAVING FUN but that is irrelevant. This game is abysmal.

The core issues that I feel will never be resolved is destruction and the amount of playable vehicles at once being low. Like I get there needs to be some balance to the amount of vehicles on the field but it seemed like pst games had much more active vehicles during battles.

It was free on PS Plus a month or 2 ago, whenever it was. It's fun because it's free. Hell, the battlepass and market place make it feel like a free game too. Seriously, I feel bad for die hard players who been playing Battlefield for a long time.

[@mfelipetc]

Also, no single player campaign! A few things annoys me the most: unbalanced helis that stays in the air for the hole game, the fact that I can't change squads (had to play solo for a few times) and overpowered gadgets (ex: Irish Sentinel radius and lack of failure rate) PS: I waited almost a year to buy the game and just did because it costed me 15 euros.

[@TheoriginalBMT]

Meh. If Heli's are up and they are bothering you. Switch to recon and lock on with soflam as much as possible. Eventually some engineers will figure it out and take care of it. The Irish sentinel can be countered by grenades if you bounce it to get closer. Sundance works well with that. But I agree in that it should have a limited capacity and would need to be re placed when it runs out of defense ammo. Honestly ALL the specialist equipment should require support crates to replenish charges.

[@Wulfereene]

You are correct, it's lowering the bar. If you didn't play for a while and check it out now for a few hours now and then, it's OK, it's fun, it has some connect. But it doesn't last, the issues come nagging at you as soon as you play some more. And it pales in comparison to previous titles. And keep on mind that it's super likely that the next bf title will be built on the same engine and foundation. Minus any improvements of the last year. When we learned one thing, then that the next title starts many steps behind, never from the last state of the predecessor. Or in other words, don't expect a scoreboard in the next bf.

[@stratejic1020]

I think people are just coping and seething because the game is getting better and people don't like that because they got attached to hating this game people do that with a lot of things they're angry about their lives or they have something going on and so they need an outlet and Battlefield 2042 was an outlet and now it's losing that status.

[@Wulfereene]

@@stratejic1020 I think there are two things here. On one side it's great when a hand with issues gets support and is fixed until it is better. And it's fine and good to state that it's better now, maybe even generally good if you'd start with it just now. The other thing is, that we as consumers should be lots and clear that our is not OK to deliver an unfinished product for full price and take over a year to make it ok. And it's also OK to compare our with other releases which delivered more content on less time. And everyone should remember, when the next bf hype train starts, not to preorder or buy on release, until you are sure about the state of the release. If they take another 1,5 years to make it a finished product, then we should wait until then before we spend money. The moment you pay is the moment your send a message, that this is OK and worth the money. And if we now go on line bf is great now and all is fine, you just give the approval to release buggy crap with few bad maps and few weapons, to release a shooter without a scoreboard.

I can list a big list of what's wrong with it. It's okay now at best. Edit: Air vehicles are absolutely busted, I agree. Transports shouldn't have splash damage weapons going 100-0 and stealth chopper's shouldn't have bombs while in stealth.

[@kylelee1774]

I agree about the transport but my only worry with the stealth helicopter is how much they've nerfed the 30mm cannons to a point where they are pointless and the hit detection on the heavy guns makes them also useless against infantry the inly way they work is if your shooting other helis the bombs are the only way to get kills but I certainly agree they should not work in stealth mode and the stealth mode itself should have a time limit
