Battlefield 2042 is missing features. Especially excellent gameplay mechanics from Battlefield V
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.
Yeah unfortunately 2042 is a travesty of what Battlefield shoud be. DICE desperately need to stop chasing after the COD fanbse and just lean into their own fanbase. I've never seen a developer who consistently ignores it's core fabase in pursuit of those who won't even put the time into the game. It's as though DICE got a whole load of COD and Apex legends payers and asked them what they would like in a Battlefield game; and then they never bothered to ask the actual Battlfield players what they would want to see in a Battelfield game. Either that or DICE are just completely tone deaf.
I mean did nobody on the entire production and develpemnt team have the courgae to say that removing classes was not just a bad idea, but was fundamentally contrary to the whole point of what makes battlefied unique. Did nobody on the entire dev team play the game and realise that by removing classes team work broke down completely?
Unles ofcourse, this was the point. To become more like COD and Apex legends and move away from being Battlefield. Well if that's the case, then they can count me out.
It also has no classes which breaks down the balance.
EA (owns Dice) wants that F2P money and has 0 problem cannibalizing its franchises to get it.
Luckily for EA, most of the hardcore BF fans will still buy the game then drop it later. Similar to F2P, masses of sales then sharp drop in player count, and on to consoom the next release.
Yeah, where's the hell is the dedicated communication wheel button? I'm quite shocked they got rid of that like wtf.
Spiderman ropes, hero characters that constantly chat shit when you don't want them and are indistinguishable across all factions, a mad UI that hurts your eyeballs. Garish neon shit on your screen for no reason and also hurts your eyeballs. Lack of distinct classes. Music blaring from vehicles that isn't even thematic and is just weird. What else? Bugs. Lots of bugs. And I'm sure the cosmetic microtransactions will be rife.
Games really have fallen off a cliff these days. But sure, gotta keep the Fortnite kids happy.
It's not just missing features - 2042 is simply missing the essence of what makes Battlefield games, Battlefield.
Part of that Battlefield essence is fun and entertainment - I sat there playing 2042 yawning - I kid you not, I almost fell asleep.
Just a boring time overall. Shame, I was really hoping for this game to get me off of Rainbow Six. Looks like I'll just have to endure the bullshit in Rainbow Six longer for my FPS fix... I don't have a choice now.
Maybe Insurgency Sandstorm. I'll find something. Shame.
