*** The Official Battlefield 2042 thread***

That's true, it was written by a bunch of interns :p . I gave bfv a go as I was getting frusted with 2042. I forgot that quite a few things seem to be removed, made worse. Can't build any defensive structures, destruction seems less imo, and having to press a button to deploy a bipod is stupid, oh and a resizable minimal.

Battlefield V could have been a good game had Dice just made a game and not tried to make a politicial statement with this "On ThE RiGhT SiDe Of HiStOrY" BS.

I found it so baffling that this was the first pc ww2 battlefield game since the original, and instead of bringing back all the classics they done the exact opposite and made a load of crap maps. That Fjell map or whatever its called, whoever had the call to put planes into what is an infantry chokepoint map needs to have someone sticking the nut on them, that map could have been decent for all out infantry mayhem, but it's totally ruined by planes flying by, dropping bombs and getting 15+ kills for zero effort.

While 2042 is the worst "BF game" by far, V has to be the biggest disappointment given it was the franchise returning to its roots for the first time on pc since 2002. They had so many possibilities, so many classic maps to bring back at their disposal and they did none of it. They tried shoehorning some of them into the reworked F2P game 2042, but that was just a sticking plaster as they knew the game was gonna be a total fail long before it launched, they just hoped people would be blindsided by bringing back random stuff from other bf games it would distract them from just how bad the base game was.

BF franchise is really in a bad place right now to say the least. 2 games in a row that have been met with "meh" reviews.
 
I just loaded this up for the first time since I got it on release, especially now as I have a new graphics card and within 10 minutes it crashed :(

I guess they've still not fixed much on this since it came out?
 
Started playing this earlier and have to say, I'm pretty surprised by it relative to all the hate. The guns, mouse input, scoreboard and so on all seem more than ok. Custom hud scale also fine. The maps do seem to lack some cover but they don't seem particularly bad as such. With the visuals close to maxed out, it also runs really well for me. Locked 120fps for the most part and only occasional dips. In terms of optimisation for what it offers with 64v64, I can't fault it. Hit reg also fine.

The only negatives so far seem to be a lack of squad interaction, the menu system with it being a little more complex than it needs to be and the lack of available vehicles - atleast compared with with bf4. I can't even get in a tank and I used to play pretty much tank only :(

0 crashes unless it has been patched - 522.25

Most of the negative comments are before patches, the game is ok to good now but still far from great.

Teamwork as you say is non existent.

New playlist Flashback Breakthrough is fantastic, small scale 16v16 on old school maps.

Jumped back in the other day and had a shot on this, it's absolutely brilliant! No OP armour or heli's, just the right amount of players and map size. And a good 20-30 mins play.
Only 2 maps though but they are good ones (Arica and Noshahr).
It's absolutely typical of DICE to give us something that works so well and make it a limited time mode. Ah well..

Hit Reg isn't fine I'm afraid it's very sporadic also depending on who you play as a specialist!

Being killed around corners by someone who was shooting at you around 10 seconds ago, when clearly you are now in cover
Throwing a C5 at someone, pressing the Detonate and nothing happens
Shooting at someone minimal damage, next time however it's a straight kill

I've also been told the tic rate is extremely low, lowest of any Battlefields

64 player servers are way way more efficient over the 128's

I've seen this on stream just not that often. I've only put in a few hours yesterday, may change my opinion.
