I played it for 2 weeks months ago and gave up the game was utter trash, its the only game I feel outraged at I didn;t get a refund from, tbh the whole thing should be scrapped and refunds handed out.

Yup, refunds should have been an option but not much chance of that with ea. They'd rather string people along promising to "fix" the game when the fact is it would need a gigantic overhaul to turn it into a proper battlefield game, and as it seems they have about 2 people working on it thats not an option. It'll get some updates, maybe a few maps or updates to maps, besides that it's pretty much on life support with a dwindling player base that's will only continue to get smaller.

Seen a post on reddit showing an image that the game had something like 950 players online yesterday at some point. Dice as usual are in silent mode and even their twitter page for the game is barely touched these days. They're meant to be working on fixes for the game but at this point I think it's like trying to give a kiss of life to a fish finger.

By far the worst supposed "battlefield" game ever released. But that's what happens when the parent company uses a studio to churn out the same game over and over, devs get burned out and **** off elsewhere, and before you know it you're left with a team of devs that are inexperienced at best and are biting off far more than they can chew. 18 months or thereabouts to even get the game functioning in the engine then a massive cluster **** of just about every dev ea could lay their hands on to slap something together that vaguely resembled a battlefield game.

Embarrassment. Imo the series should be shelved until they can get together a competent development team for another iteration of the game. But as we all know the bulk of people that worked on this have moved on to development of the next game leaving a skeleton crew to throw superglue at this turd in the vain hope it fixes something.


And the sooner frostbite is dumped the better, nothing but an aging piece of **** packed wall to wall full of legacy bugs they're either unwilling to fix or don't have a clue how to fix.

YEP 100% agree unless they get the designers who worked on BF3/BF4 back then this franchise is dead... I'd waited so long for this as well but this for me has killed it off! RIP
 
I've maybe 2000 - 3000 hours in BF3 / BF4 / BF1 / BFV and am still somewhat entertained by all of them to this day.
I've got less than 10 hours in BF2042 and am utterly bored of it, spent 45 mins last night on it and most of it walking in massive open spaces only to get sniped from 10 miles away before I saw any action.

It's now been uninstalled and I wont be returning to this. I wont call it a waste of time because in reality most gaming is exactly that but it is thoroughly unentertaining, frustrating and is in general a horrible experience from the 1st moment.
I mean what the hell were they thinking when they butchered the amazing soundtrack with what sounds like a pack of dying cats having their scrotums squeezed in a vice....who honestly heard that and thought "yes that does the soundtrack justice"...

Activision are earning 1.2 billion $ every 3 months from in-game micro transactions across Warzone, WOW and overwatch. EA management are expecting a similar return in investment from Battlefield. Which is why the specialists were introduced. There is no going back for them.

They're delusional If they think bf will get remotely close to those kinds of numbers, sooner micro transactions are killed off in games the better.
 
The EA chief exec said a couple of years ago (the video is still on you tube) he envisioned a position in furture BF games where players would pay to reload

As I said, this micro transaction **** needs to end. Its amazing how online has become so detrimental to games, it gave us multiplayer, but also gave publishers ways to milk gullible morons out of money that can far exceed the cost of the game.

The genie is out there is no going back. At least some of us get to play free games funded by whales.
 
I don't think we'll see another "full" release of BF in the next few years if anything I can see them going for some kind of Free-to-Play model - either a dedicated Battle Royale style like Warzone or something based on the Portal Mode - they do have a lot of really good back-content across a load of eras (WW1/WW2/Vietnam/Modern, etc) which would let people pick and play what they want.
