My brother is, devastatingly, no longer with us, but these memories are some of the most important to me. So thanks for being part of them.

I miss the naval vehicles and gameplay from bf4 and the bf1 campaign like mode that progressed to different maps based on how the match went. Submarines? And scuba infiltration to open a match? Drivable aircraft carriers or an air craft carrier mode where you have to resupply or earn points to spend on resources as a team between matches? Some fun larger scale ideas

I’m never going to get over those first 6 months of one of the most buggy, unfinished games i’ve ever played for. I’m still happy to see people enjoying battlefield 2042 again though.

Hey Jack, do you ever plan on making more gun guides for 2042? I know you did the assualt rifles back when the game launched, but a lot has changed since then and I'd really like to see your takes for the other weapon classes.

[@vonjt4077]

I have no problem with heavy vehicle warfare in battlefield, the problem is when you give infantry less and less options to counter them. Battlefield 3 and 4 did it perfectly, plenty of options to take down heavy tanks and choppers, and power vehicles actually required skill to do well with. However, a skilled tank driver or pilot could do serious damage.

BF conquest without vehicles should've always been a regular mode given how dramatically OP vehicles are.

[@WEONLYTAKEDUBS]

This game has improved a lot. I actually enjoy it a lot now.

[@Axehilt]

1. Infantry Conquest doesn't sound too good, since combined arms is one of the main reasons I prefer BF over other shooters. 2. Vehicle balance still matters though, and so I strongly support balance changes that prevent them from being out of control powerful (and little birds are a good example of this, especially on some maps). 3. With 2042's larger player counts, I've long believed it needed Planetside 2 like vehicle purchase system, where everyone slowly trickles in a resource that can be used for the heaviest of weapons/vehicles -- this prevents the archaic-feeling weirdness where you can feel irritated that some bad player took the team's only tank and really hurt the team's chance of success as a result. Including situations like those bad players who just disposable-helo your transport heli at the start of a round (despite that being an _insanely_ good team tool if used properly).

[@M4KERB]

i try and comment and like everything you post. i've been watching for years, what got me started watching you was BF content, when i think BF i thnk jackfrags automatically, so when i see new BF content i usually come watch. BF is my go to shooter and i hope DICE really pulls through with the next one and blows us all away. not saying 2042 isn't enjoyable, just took too long to get there.

[@Terabirb]

Honestly, the perfect storm is brewing for the next battlefield game if they do it right. A game with the atmosphere and graphics of 1 and V, the gunplay of 3 and 4, and the destruction of BC2 would explode into one of the most legendary shooters of all time. Also, I doubt this will happen, but if they don't include battle passes or microtransactions, the thousands of people that decided not to play because of those things will buy the game. A game full of content, atmosphere, and freedom w/o bullshit microtransactions would sell so well and revive people's hope in this franchise. I dont really believe that any of this will happen, but we can hope. Edit: And a bug free launch so the public first impression is good. I'm positive that if this happens, it'll make more money than 2042 and its microtransactions ever did.
