Battlefield 2042 needs more destruction

You know those alignment memes that categorise what sort of person you are when you perform a certain task? Yeah, I often find myself on the chaotic side of that chart. I’m that person you love to hate – the one who marks the page they’re on in a book with a dog ear or the idiot who starts writing a news story inside the CMS. It turns out that in Battlefield 2042 I’m no different, and, after recently getting a chance to play the game ahead of the Battlefield 2042 beta, I’ve discovered I not only embrace chaos, I enjoy creating it.

You see, not long after spawning in for the first time on Orbital, I found myself ordering a tank from the buy menu and driving around various sectors blowing shit up. DICE and EA have long harked on about the capabilities of this truly next-gen game and I wanted to test it out.

Played the beta for a while and it’s just not my thing. Also tried out the Vanguard beta a while back and it was horrible. The Halo beta on the other hand was amazing. Out of the three I’ll definitely be playing Halo Infinite this holiday.

Wait ... you played the beta and its not your thing? And you'll only be playing Halo infinite this holiday?
The current beta period of two days October 6–7, is 'Early Access' for those who pre-ordered the game.
The general Open Beta starts Oct 8th.
What do you mean you played it now and it's not your thing?

Jin_Sakai1698d ago

I mean I played it tonight through Game Pass and I didn’t really care for it. I guess it’s just not my thing. Call of Duty has went down the toilet over they years and the Vanguard beta was garbage. I really enjoyed the Halo Infinite tech test so I’ll be playing it this holiday.

You can play it now with EAplay sub. I'm having fun with it, but it is just rinse and repeat bf.
If you like that thing great if you don't well it's just bf again.

@Raiden

I'm actually enjoying the beta. Halo tech test was okay too. The grappling hook is a cool feature but nothing reallynew, but I'm more concerned with the campaign. TBH, I had fun with both. Battlefield is a different type of game; you expected a cod type maps on a game that has huge maps, which obviously will be slower. BF has always been slower engagement. The PC version has bugs by the way

annoyedgamer1697d ago

They are replacing destruction with grapple hooks and sliding mechanics. You know..like COD and arcade shooters.

CaptainHenry9161697d ago (Edited 1697d ago )

Changing your weapons and modifying it on the fly during the match is something new, I think

What Many BF Fans Consider the Worst Battlefield Game Has More Players Than Call of Duty

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.

jambola278d ago

"Nore players than call of duty"
Not misleading at all

z2g278d ago

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

Hedstrom278d ago (Edited 278d ago )

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.

MatrixxGT278d ago

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….

GenoPurpel278d ago

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.
