That's a brilliant fake! Fortnite Mode, Battle for a scoreboard

my BF4 says 50 hours played.

was it that bad at release?

Yeah it was an absolute mess on release. People forgot as it was fixed in the end.
There was many people who simply couldn't play it as it just crashed all the time or had horrible performance. While it worked most of the time for me, there was one map where the sound would always break before the end of the round.

Redownloaded 1, 3 & 4 as 2042 is just not fun to play.

Played a few games of BF1 and to me it's peak Battlefield. WW1 is not everyone's cup of tea but the sounds, atmosphere, maps are just *chefs kiss*

I tend to swap between 1, 4 and 5. Currently I'm on a 1 binge and am enjoying it. Finally getting some of those guns unlocked.

The upcoming maps are great as well.

man that's bad.

Currently just over 4000 people playing 2042 right now according to steam. Over 21000 playing Battlefield V...

Dead game is dead, literally?

I would expect higher player count on origin but I can't believe how quickly it's gone downhill.

You played it right? I can't see how anyone is surprised it went down so quickly.

The beta warmed us how bad it was going to be and the trial rubberstamped it.

Yeah I played the beta and it was awful so I decided not to buy until is was better, that's not seemed to happen.
BFV got slated on release by a number of people but it still held up (player count wise), this is finally the straw that broke the camels back for bF series though.
I do think it is deserving of a low player count, I'm surprised that we actually got to that point with a BF game

Yeah I imagine a much larger percentage of players use Origin, however comparing both 2042 and V on steam, shows a huge difference in player base.

I've been playing it most nights (helicopter main) and I'm done with it now, everything is so half arsed and half baked.

The game is basically still a beta and has literally no redeeming qualities. Looking back BFV is double the game 2042 is and is literally the weakest game out of them in itself. Whoever signed the game off should be black listed for life.

I have gone totally off piste and have over 100 hours on dayz already! At least it is fun whilst being buggy

Don't think I've seen BattleBit mentioned on the forum yet, surprisingly. Looks more fun than BF

Early Summer?!?!

Ayahuasca · 1 Feb 2022 at 14:29

Final nail in the coffin then, player numbers are already dwindling and people on average game less in the summer months.

Pretty bad what the state of the game really was if it's going to take until the summer to supposedly fix a lot. Let alone the so called marketing gurus they have. Most don't target summer.

Most will have moved on by then if not already. Since games are all about trends nowadays.

That's like 6 months for a scoreboard, VoIP and a few skins if you bought the expensive version?
