Battlefield 2042 Season 1

Over 6 months late

I can't see too many people returning for this as the damage has been done. It's also more to save their own skin legally that to redeem themselves with the community. Despite several major u-turns on game design and philosophy, they are still determined with Specialists and will probably use game as a testing platform to see how it can be implemented for the foreseeable. Pity because the new developers working under Zampella know exactly what's required to make a BF title but they are still heavily in EA's pockets.

Only 6 months late shhhhhh nobody will notice. More like nobody will be left for it or comeback to it. 

 

I'm a COD guy, but it's a shame BF has went the way it has. I really don't disrespect or wish any hate on it. 

I like the healthy competition, some of the best Cods, Halos and BFs came about from everyone competing and putting their best work forward in rivalry. 

 

People were saying but probably mostly hoping that this current Battlefield was going to be a COD killer and smash it to the ground. It was definitely not at all. 

 

Cod is literally killing itself without any outside interference. Cods biggest weakness is itself. 

They always manage to make it happen or turn it around even with the most horrendous launches. Vanguards had hundreds of bugs and glitches, some of them vastly wrecking the gaming experience and making it borderline unplayable. 

Camo challenges not tracking, multiple versions of lag and some other despicable things. Somehow they managed to sort a lot of it out. Maybe 2-3 months or so down the line after launch.

I sadly think this is the run up to the death of the battlefield franchise and it's going to be mostly down to EA.

 

There were some poor design choices in 2042 but the bulk of the issues stem from EA trying to turn battlefield into something akin to COD (which they have tried many times) in order to get their fifa of shooters.

 

The season releases at this point are likely what you say James, if they don't then there is grounds for those paying for higher tiers to take them to court. I continue to play BFV (not necassarily their strongest release) but it's still night and day with this latest game.

 

For me there is also the principle now, the price was higher for this game and the standard was so much lower on launch that I'm not sure I will return to it at all even if they put things right at this stage.

So I gave this a brief go last night with one of my usual battlefield mates and my points taken from it were -

 

- New map wasn't actually too bad however much like all of them it's far too big (especially seeing as the focus seems to be back to 64 player game modes....

- My friend had issues with button prompts not appearing (he took a few screenshots to show us), I didn't notice if it was the same for me but if so and it got through QA that is incredibly poor.

- I think this release really show's they will be putting the bare minimum into the game for the seasons durations and I imagine for sure the main bulk of the team has moved on.

- Playing this then going to Battlefield V straight after just made BFV feel even better because the gulf between them is absurd.

- I don't see a way back for this game at all and suspect I will have deleted it from my console this weekend.

Thanks for this Matt, I think we're only gonna see huge improvements come 2-3 years after patch updates. Such a shame as there's a lot of the functionality I prefer in this over BFV.

 

I may give it an update and we all could find a night to try it again considering so many of us picked it up to stare at it.

The new map is excellent, highly recommend trying it out. Such a shame its only one. If that's all there's going to added map-wise until September, they'll have left it too late to save this game.

How much does it come up in the rotation? Worthwhile enough to give it a few tries?

Give me a shout if you jump on, I want to give it another go. I'm not sure I will stick with it but I wouldn't like to write it off without a fair go.

Battlefield 4 was already on its 4th map expansion by this stage🤣

 

BF4 Premium was one of my best purchases - the base game had some devastating technical and performance issues but once that was fixed to a degree and the new content started rolling it, it was an absolutely sensational package with guns galore and varied maps. It's such a travesty we don't get anything like this now especially with them not being burdened by having to deliverer paid map packs. Players really got screwed over with BF5 because we missed out on at least 8 new maps because they were busy trying to fix all the issues the game had. It's even worse now because they have to make the new content away from the conceptual flaws whilst under feedback guidance from the community. What a pickle!
