A Battlefield 2042 dev says that the shooter is "not a project in trouble," and shares more about the development process and the delay announcement.
Several PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium titles, including Battlefield 2042, Forspoken, and Sonic Frontiers, will depart the subscription catalog on December 16.
Thanks to Battlefield 6 rewards tied to BF2042's free Battle Pass, it has driven sales up to almost 500K in just a week.
Ugh 😒 not the right message to send to EA, it's just going to feed their greed keep them incredibly out of touch
In a surprising turn of events, the worst-rated Battlefield game has now overtaken the Call of Duty HQ app in terms of player count.
A) misleading
B) no shortage of players on either game
C) doesn't make either game better or worse. Just play the one you like
Played BF2042 when it came out. Thought it was trash. Played it now after BF6 beta, and they have made a ton of fixes to it. Now its really good.
CoD will still be popular as ever. 2042 is just scratching the itch of folks who want more BF after playing the beta.
This happens all the time. Look at Fallout76 after the show came out….
It would be interesting to see what the player base for COD would look like right now if they also made BO6 3.99 on Steam.
They have to say that though don't they. It's not as though they would tell us the real issues they were actually dealing with. We've been burnt way too many times to fall for shallow spin. Sure take as much time as you need to make the game great. True it doesn't mean the project is in trouble, it just means that the game is not where you thought it would be at this stage.
When a developer has to reassure people everything is okay it usually means that something is up. With it being an EA game...well....you know the rest
Obviously not in trouble, the delay is minimal.
For EA to delay something, I'd say it's in trouble. I hope to be proven wrong but this is EA who have a long history of releasing broken messes.
I want the game to be good, but that Beta won't be the recent build, it'll be a 2-3 months old "stable" build, so I'm pretty out of the loop on what to feel about this title currently.
It's pretty frustrating to buy "live" service games that can be patched to the "fixed" state, like why sell something broken?
I can echo that point for say Halo, why shove the game out the door without co-op or forge & make something that players "can" buy complete 4-6 months down the line.
Zero accountability & when games launch broken, the devs that were outspoken before launch suddenly go MiA.
Hope for the best, plan for the worst. GL regardless :p
