Let's talk about Battlefield 2042's Problems

[@Ashar121]

BFV did suppressors PERFECTLY. They lowered the audio of the gun (duh) but the audio without a suppressor was so meaty and well designed that it made a tangible difference. And then the added utility was that the enemy would no longer get directional damage indicators when you use a suppressed weapon. That was such a great trade-off IMO and it made the suppressors really useful while not making them a necessity

[@echo332p8]

Yeah and I liked it that there where just a few guns for that

[@Mis73rRand0m]

Same for BF1 man... The Silenced 1911 is an amazing stealth tool. Silencers perform the same function, with other stealth perks on the sniping classes it makes you feel like you can do Gun-Foo.

[@foughtstatue1023]

Yeah, I thought the way they did suppressors was great, and they were very useful, but usually didn’t have the entire team with them. Made them more unique IMO.

Also maps are too big, increasing map sizes basically meant replacing what would’ve been more areas of map to just giant open spaces that vehicle players can role you on, the fights you do have against other infantry on these open spaces which are the majority of the map are just the most unmemorable engagements you’ll ever have. If you want to enjoy yourself as infantry in some of the maps you just have to stay in a few certain areas the entire game.

[@bluesapphire6446]

I guess dev won't put any content out until Jan update, now they have to focus on bug fixing and quality of life improvement.

[@foughtstatue1023]

Unfortunately, many aspects of this game are not really fixable. Bugs can be fixed just fine, but there are some core issues that can’t be. Examples include: Empty Maps - lots of running for little reward (basically maps are too big) Specialists - They’re worse than classes (opinionated, but most seem to agree) Destruction - barely any destruction (they could maybe fix this, but it’d be hard) Gunplay - kinda sucks (again, slim chance, but it could be fixed) Atmosphere - Not good (doesn’t feel like a real war, the specialist voice lines definitely don’t help.) The past 2 games had an amazing atmosphere, how’d they mess that up? The biggest drawbacks are the 2 most unfixable things, the maps and the specialists (for me). The only way to fix the maps is to add new ones, and they spent so much time working on and hyping up the specialists that there’s no way they can go back now. I’m sure the next game will even be advertised like “a return to the classic experience fans love”. Specialists were just a cash grab as a way for Dice and EA to make more money.

[@peoplez129]

It's less than half a game. The development needed to put it back on track would require more than twice the work than they put into making the game already. So it's never going to happen because after games are released, studios move on to the next project with a small team left behind to support the game. So all games are working with a skeleton crew of developers after release, with no way to suddenly get full development going again, because that costs tens of millions of dollars. They'll patch up what they can, but the game will ultimately be compromised no matter what. Specialists won't go away. Destruction won't be added. Empty maps would be impossible to address, without effectively limiting the play area. Part of the reason for large play areas is as a buffer zone for vehicle battle and to allow for smaller isolated engagements, where 2 small groups can battle it out and one gets to push forward without getting mowed down every time as soon as the fight is over. So even if they limited play areas, other stuff would go out of balance to the point where it's just a mosh pit of spawn die respawn. No one signed up for an early access game that might be OK a year down the line. It's clear the developers lied to the publishers about the readiness of the game, and that a lack of a direction / vision was present during development. Considering it doesn't have a campaign and is purely multiplayer, gives them even less of an excuse because it's infinitely cheaper to develop. Making this game should have been easy mode. It's a case where they could have just reskinned BF3 / BF4 and people would have been happier.

[@renanvinicius6036]

Seems to me that they don't really care about what the community wants. ALL games that EA give to us comes with many odd problems, and what is worse, in games such as FIFA that they just sell as a new game (that actually is not) they came with the same problem and bugs. I'm still waiting to see this company gone like many others, the only thing that stops their fall is the franchises.

[@therealslimgamey1]

Maps and specialists are something that can't be fixed. Maps maybe over the next 12 months. But having these shit maps on rotation permanently with disbanding lobbies is not great.

[@falan9103]

The amount of times I've heard footsteps and whipped around only to put 5 bullets into a teammate before I realize it's not an enemy is insane. This is made even worse by the difficulties in visually telling the difference between enemies and teammates. The number of times an enemy has made absolutely no noise coming up a ladder or zipline, and destroyed me because of it is ridiculous. It's one of my biggest non-bug related complaints but not many people seem to bring it up.

14:03 Suppressors in general (imo) need to be a little less binary. They're usually a must-have or powerful attachment because you either appear on the map or don't. Ideally they'd drastically reduce the range at which you can be detected, which is a little more true-to-life. As an example it obviously won't hide you if you're firing from the next room but would keep you hidden firing from down the street.

TBAG, as you requested, this is my response as someone with some experience in software engineers: 1. No matter how much the engineer anticipated use cases, the users will always find the way to break the product. Therefore, even with all the QA teams, there are always some cracks. 2. The product is a orchestration of many sophisticated technologies hence better chance of breaking. 3. The product is developed under ideal environment (the machine with certain configuration), the product is run in diverse environments. It's impossible to make it work perfectly for everyone. 4. In networking, the server is a distant machine that process incoming requests. Under heavy load, it has better chance of breaking, and it's noticeable if every 128 players send 60 requests per second (60Hz refresh rate server) at the same time. The web is a network of machines, so when you send a request, it goes through many machines, so it depends on your router, ISP... 5. People have strong opinions.

I have a feeling the mode itself isn't considered very heavily when the maps are being developed so when it comes time to add it they kinda just work with what they have. Meanwhile I feel like the mode was a key player in BF1 map design especially in some of the DLC maps like Somme or Devil's Anvil

[@tyler1846]

I’ve been trying so hard to just enjoy this game, but they made it very hard to. It feels like a part time job when playing this game. They give you every reason and some to just delete it.

[@richierens]

I love BFBC2's Rush, and environmental Destruction. I love BF3 maps. I love bf4's guns, and Levolution. I love bf1' sounds, and atmosphere, and Operation. I love bf5 enhanced team play, and responsive shooting and movement. BF 2042 has exactly nothing. No environmental Destruction, stupid maps, few guns, no Levolution, no yelling, no screaming, no team play, fking bad animations, stupid specialists. This game is not a "battlefield" this one is paintball playground !

Yeah a few funny bugs in BF4 versus this shit. You must have a horrible memory because with the bugs the older games were innovative and fun day 1. 2042 looks like the quality went backwards, lack of content, horrible map design, stupid lack of weapon content and customization. I mean you expect people coming from MW’s gunsmith to except this shit?

[@Ez-pu4tl]

Ah yes ladies and gentlemen, we have to excuse them for releasing a shitty bugged game, because they already have done it 3 times before, so it's okay this time. Game is shit and deserves every negative review it has. If I wanted game that gets better after updates I'd play Rust or other early access game that advertises as such. Gaming comunnity is at all time low to even allow such bullshit from AAA company, that has more than 10 games in this franchise.

[@Yoda_16358]

For the appearing on the mini map when shooting, I actually really like the way Battlefront 2 did it. Basically, when you shot your blaster, the general direction of where you would be revealed to enemies, but not the exact location. For example, if someone was shooting at you from your left, a red cone would appear on your mini map showing the direction the shot came from, but not where the actual trooper was. It also would show if the shot was from really far away, really close, or somewhere in between (though not like super far away. Then it just wouldn't show up at all, obviously). I thought this was a pretty good system and was a nice balance between not showing up at all and your exact location appearing. There weren't suppressors in Battlefront 2, but there was a Star Card for the Specialist class that basically acted as a suppressor so you wouldn't show up.

I'm so glad you mention the aiming. With all the issues in the game, this is easily the worst. And it doesn't seem like DICE have acknowledged it.

Sorry if this has been answered already. You can change squads while you are spawned on the map if you are downed and waiting for a revive or when you are in the deploy screen. Just go to the squad and players tab after pressing the esc key. Right click on your name and the change squad option will come up, however you don't get to pick the squad it just changes you to a random one or one by yourself.

[@TheReaIVaIkyrie]

The 74% negative reviews really speaks for itself. I refunded, and so did everyone I know. I don’t care if they make the game “better” I’m not supporting a game that is compete dogshit at launch. Because this game is dogshit. If anyone enjoys it, I applaud them come and keep enjoying it. But 3/4 of the people who played the game don’t like it, that does mean something. There’s way to many features that are missing that should’ve been in the game at launch. A bunch of features that are gone are features from the last fucking games! 22 guns? What the fuck battlefield, the new cod has 38. 3 pistols. 2 damn launchers. The launchers in the game aren’t even strong enough. Bullets don’t even work properly. Every single gun has horrible bloom that causes bullets to not come out straight at all. There’s 1 smg that doesn’t have this issue. It makes aiming really bad. No scope zeroing. No thermal optics. The fact that the hovercraft is a light vehicle and cannot be damage by .50cals or miniguns. This game really doesn’t deserve another chance. How are people gonna allow companies to fuck them in the ass like this? As mentioned above, I refunded and so did everybody I know. Really just don’t feel like giving a shit company my money for taking a shit on a plate and calling it a game. Maybe if this had happened in the past when it wasn’t so common I’d have a differing opinion but not anymore, it happens to much nowadays. In conclusion, this game is complete dogshit. I’m actually less disappointed in COD. I would be more likely to recommend vanguard(which is a very bland not good game)over this. This game needed another year at the least.

[@precisemike]

This game was blatantly meant to be a BR. Oversized maps, high player count, and specialists. EA even admitted they wanted this game to be similar to that of cod mw and warzone. EA doesn't care about this game and dice isn't even the same as it was when they made BF4 or bf1. The head designer for this game was the same for candy crush... It's embarrassing.

[@rambleroodle2369]

the most important thing that bf2042 needs to have: Levolution.

[@notweaking5892]

Man I got pissed, last year they showed a snippet of a building collapsing and 50 people running away, now you can only destroy 2 walls per map basically

Not a chance. That would be too deep a change, you'd have to adjust/rewrite too much. IMNSHO.

[@tayhehe]

the server issues are due to the sheer amount of players. there could be a lack of server optimization, but more likely the sheer number of tasks per second causes server cpus (which are likely extremely beefy already) to throttle. it's unlikely to be fixed as far as i can tell

[@ywn1460]

This game definitely doesn’t feel like a battlefield game, which can make a lot of people upset. But, to the people that aren’t looking for an authentic battlefield experience and just looking for a fun game, this game is a blast. I’m relatively jew the the bf series, with battlefield 1 being my first battlefield game in 2019. I personally don’t care about branding, and just like looking for fun games.

[@parkerfox461]

I think what happened is that DICE/EA hired ex-COD developers and managers. So there’s obvious correlation for BF to feel like COD. Pitifully horrible

[@ranimdude]

As for not being able to hit - it's not just bloom. Sometimes you hit an enemy, see blood splater coming from his body but he receives no damage at all. It's more because of garbage network code

The fact that you appear on the map by shooting without a suppressor makes sense.

[@ShadowReaper-pu2hx]

When I play as Sundance in Battlefield 2042 I can’t steer up and down when using the wingsuit and there was an insane bug when I was playing. A bunch of parts of the map randomly turned into suns and were all white while I was playing and I couldn’t even look at certain parts of the map since it would just be a white ball and if I entered those areas my screen would be all white. Those are things that can be fixed (although I doubt the Sundance thing will be fixed because I always get scammed out of fun stuff), but the game has a bunch of issues that are because of the choices of the developers such as the lack of a normal scoreboard like TBag mentioned. The game doesn’t feel like Battlefield and instead it feels like Call Of Duty since EA decided to pander to C.O.D. fans. There aren’t enough objectives to take up the large maps, and sprinting is hard because I have to press on the joystick so hard just to have a consistent sprint, which isn’t an issue I had in other games. The specialists were a really stupid idea as everyone knows, and unfortunately I can’t escape the crap even in Portal since the non-specialist characters say stupid voice lines in Portal too. The graphics in the game are bad, like the city in the desert which looks like a potato cartoon. There are more issues, but this ranting comment gives enough to prove my point.

[@thesesrabbit87b47]

After hearing your complaint about foot steps and not being able to hear them I just want to mention that from my own experience I feel like I hear footsteps too much. I’ll be flying around in the night bird and get too close to a building and hear one enemy stomping up the stairs. And even though that example is a little drastic my point is that I feel like sometimes footstep audio somehow comes out over plenty other things and louder some how. Could just be me though.

[@hamnrarcoupland5060]

Also a problem is that there aren’t any cars or stuff on objectives to quickly drive to the next objective

The scoreboard sounds ("we're considering "legacy features" like a scoreboard") like a deliberate decision. You know, if you can see the scoreboard, and how bad you were, you could feel bad, and we can't have that.

I am not a game dev but have worked in big corp env as a dev. I can almost guarantee that all UI and QoL stuff got scrapped due to time constraint. The devs, most likely, ran into issues for whatever reasons or couldn't get the quality up to the minimum and told management they won't be able to make it to the deadline of the game release date. Because these are not 'high priority' they got pushed off to the next timeline. Could they have pushed the deadline? Maybe. But it was decided the deadline is priority. So here we are.
