But it's also an indication of the current state of game development and the game industry. You have developers now selling alpha and beta access to their games - literal unfinished products. This may be fine or "more acceptable" for small indie studios who need a bit more investment/start up capital to get the ball rolling, but not for multi-million pound, so-called "AAA" game studios. Just in recent years, you've had unprecedented shambles of launches with games like Cyberpunk 2077, Fallout 76 and this. If you're happy with companies taking their customers for a ride and releasing garbage, then by all means keep handing over your hard earned money and supporting this kind of behaviour.

I understand, I really enjoy games but I don't take them that seriously. I mean I might be dissappointed but that's all. It's probably an age thing, I remember buying games like you describe that wouldn't even load from the tape :D

At least they get a chance to fix them unlike music/film etc

Actually dont mind the new map, can get a bit hectic but its still fun, this game has come a long way overall, at least i can play and enjoy it now even though im total poop at it compared to previous battlefields lol

You're not poop at it. The hit reg is so bad and the console players benefit from aim assist. In other BF games I usually come top 5. In 2042 I can barely get a kill and nearly always come near the bottom. There's a long thread on the official forums about how bad hit reg is
 
Tried again, better game now, but still can't stay on a server indefinitely after a round.

Better, but still rubbish.
 
Used all my trial up on this and despite being desperate for a new modern Battlefield this game just does not play or feel right for me.

So many little things I’m just not “keen” on… one map and it’s exit to desktop.
 
Since I've still got 4 hours trial left on this I thought I'd fire it up for an hour last night out of curiosity for the first time in about 9 months..
Imagine my surprise in that it's not awful now. It's no 'traditional' BF game but I'm actually quite tempted to buy it now it's been heavily discounted.
 
I've not had an issue with this game personally since it came out, perhaps my expectations weren't that high, or the fact I've not played a BF game on PC since BF Vietnam, but this has been great.

The recent patches and where we are now, has definitely improved it, to a point where I played the Groundwar MW2 beta the other day and couldn't stand it in comparison.

The latest maps have been great, but I don't understand why they keep changing the playlist rotations, Conquest Breakthrough with 64 players was brilliant to play :)

Have they stopped the ammo box xp farm exploit?

Still looks like there are servers in Portal running it - although it really is a totally pointless exploit considering it's just the battle pass progression XP and the actual account XP.
 
I may try this game when/if they ever nurf the wingsuit/C5 combo that makes ground vehicles basically worthless. Cannot believe they put such EZ mode cheese in the game.
 
I gave it another try not so long back and tbh I still wasn't impressed by the state of the game, still far too much walking on bigger maps because not enough vehicles,then there's the lack of teamwork with the squads or the whole team in general, and what really still does my heads in is this game has the really bad bots/AI in.. Just remove that crap!!
 
I've given it another go and I'm quite enjoying it. There does seem to be a lack of teamwork, but I think that's a general theme in society ATM anyway :p . There is a chopper that's op though, can seemingly stay in stealth indefinitely.

Played a fair bit of this over the weekend. Kinda fun especially on the 130% damage servers.
Bit fed up with playing the same 2 maps over and over again though in the standard conquest servers.
Even tried a 1000% damage server. That was silly fun :)

The stealth choppers! They got a few nerfs recently so aren’t nearly as bad as they were when they were added.

If you play Rao and hack them, they immediately get taken out of stealth. Then they’re pretty straightforward to get rid of!

Ahh. Tbh I tr d to mainly play as the guy that can deploy the big mini gun. I notice the performance has got better, but still not on par with previous games imo.

I think anybody can take it out of stealth using the Soflam, then others can hit it.
