Battlefield 2042

[Octopuss]

Instead of fixing the game EA/DICE is more concerned about shutting down criticism:
Battlefield 2042 Subreddit Could Be Locked Over Reaction To Dev Tweets

wow, what the actual fuck?

 

[erocker]

They should try offering refunds! That's about all this game is worth. What a disappointment.

by now they should refund everyone and put the game FTP, im rank S018 (118) and still they haven done a single thing right. the only thing why i return to play the game is because i already payed for it and everyday i join with 8 friends of mine to troll, curse and have a time together for a couple of hrs. The game is a boring mediocre clusterf%$^$%$$^. Plus you got EA giving aim assist like magnetism to console
players and a hitbox the size of a trash wagon. Those specialists ffs most of the team are Squirrels or the Russian guy with a placed shield a turret sitting on a corner. Teamwork my a$$. Something so simple as the friend list, server browser, or scoreboard still missing. me and my friends get separated everytime we start a new match.

Everyone should start playing BF4 again. If half the people who bought this crap did this, it would be hillarious and tell EA something.

I purchased this through Steam and immediately requested a refund after playing for about an hour or so. This game is so bad. I feel sorry for those that can't get a refund. I did reinstall 4 so that I could get some battlefield time in.

I saw an article last week that said that BF 1 and V were outperforming 2042....speaks volumes

 

[Octopuss]

That's sad and hillarious at the same time.

Oh and that article released by EA not long ago where they talked about this failure and what are they going to do after this, that was like shit from alternative klingon dimension.

 

[ShiBDiB]

The game is a failure.. I'm just interested now in seeing how much time and money they sink into it before just pulling the plug. The game is rotten to its core imo

I can see this killing the franchise. Which might not be a terrible thing given the direction they've taken it.

 

[seth1911]

Totaly garbage Game even in Portal mode some Hardcore Servers but EA block u Weapon EP,
u need to pull up ure Weapon Skills via Official Kills e or AI Games.

I want a fucking refund option on my PS4 (like on Steam)

 

[WhiteNoise]

I was in 4 and there were only a handful of servers so I went back to 1. Much better. Loads of people playing.

EA/DICE debating right now if they turn the game into Play4Free, because of the very low player numbers.
Game is so bad, most wouldn't even play it if it's free, lol. Waste of HDD space & network traffic.

They got moronic leadership. Even after switching leaders they wouldn't turn it around, because there are no talented Dev's left.
It takes them 2-3 months to implement a dam Scoreboard, and not even this they can get right.
They implemented in a ZombieMode. 1 day later they removed it because it gave bot farming like XP.
Their Dev's are untalented braindead zombies.

Ohh god, just watched their ZombieMode. Have to wash my eyes out with battery acid.

If anyones interested in listening to EA's investor call....

It should start around 19:00 if its not been timestamped already. Its basically as you would expect, Andrew talked about 2042 very little and spent a lot of time avoiding a questions while spamming buzzwords like "engagement" and "growth" non-stop -- Typical investor meeting. None of the investors really pressed for an answer about 2042 as far as i recall. They talked about FIFA, John Madden, Apex Legends (A LOT about Apex). Up coming SW games and the future for them is basically more Apex Legends. Andrew avoided most questions about 2042 and didnt release any figures with regards to "E.n.g.a.g.e.m.e.n.t" or total revenue from 2042.

I missed the first 15-20mins of the call so im still catching up with everything that went down on the call. EA doesnt see BF as one of their top franchises anymore and this could affect the amount of resources that they are willing to put into development of future BF titles.

Tom Henderson did mention somewhere near the end of the stream that EA still planned to roll out another BF game in 2024.

All season pass DLC content is delayed until march while the team work on fixing the game.

::EDIT::

30:00 - "despite a tough battlefield launch, we came within a couple of percent of our net bookings & guidance and beat our expectations for underlying profitability -- blah blah blah blah --- Sales of 2042 were disappointing, but they were offset by FIFA and continued strength from Apex and other franchises"

--- basically the game sold so badly that it had to be propped up by money made from other franchises.

::EDIT 2::

(partial transcription/interpretation)

Basically it boils down to them making so much money in Q4 last year that it offsets the disappointing launch of 2042. BUT EVEN IF THE GAME DIDNT FLOP. THE BATTLEFIELD FRANCHISE ONLY ACCOUNTS FOR 10% OF THEIR TOTAL ANNUAL REVENUE SO ITS NO BIG LOSS IF IT FLOPS

EA dont even care.

Well, DICE, they took'ur jobs right there.

Soon...

first medal of honor and soon battlefield

 

[MarsM4N]

What I am taking from the EA Investors Call & their roadmap is that the game sales where embarassing low to even disclose them & that expected earnings (5%) for 2022 are tiny.

All their PR is just propaganda to calm down the investors & gamers. They won't sink a lot in this dead game, just fixes & the season 1 content, to fulfill their obligations.
After that they'll burry it like Anthem. Because no players, no bucks from specialists skins. Nobody left to milk.

EA is really trying hard to milk the sheep. Best example was their sponsored stream Battlefield 2042 Breaks During Sponsored Stream (Twitch).
They pay random streamers who most of them never played a Battlefield game instead of veteran Battlefield streamers/Youtubers, just to get a new audience to buy the game.
And on top of that they pay for ViewBots to get more attention. Absolutely disgusting!

This is no issue though, this is right thing to do to do a advertisement. The issue is if the game runs bad or the game itself isn't good. I didn't even bother to buy this time. I mainly saw the game in shrouds twitch channel, he enjoyed it a lot and it looked good, but also had some issues, but not many. I think people exaggerate. Is the game great? Probably not. Is the game bad? No either. I think people expected greatness and that's the downfall of the game. The game is merely good and that's not good enough. Also the same reason why I didn't bother (I'm a BF1942/3/BC2/4/1/5 veteran).

Europe

On PS4 in BF4 are10 Favorites with most time Full Lobbys @ Hardcore Mode.

2042 Portal
Without crossplay, 1 Hardcore Lobby with mostly 40 Players.
With crossplay activ, 6 Hardcore Lobbys and only 2 have more than 40 Players.

2042 is dead on the PS4


Now i use BF4 and not 2042, EA is such a stupid Company

 

[Kanan]

Without crossplay, 1 Hardcore Lobby with mostly 40 Players.

So basically comparable to BF5.

2042 is dead on the PS4

Just remove the PS4 from the sentence. Too bad DICE

 

[seth1911]

Today yeah before the 2042 release there was hosted a few HC Lobbys in BFV

 

[MarsM4N]

I hope EA/DICE is watching Youtube & taking notes for their next "product".

Let's see if people even stay around for DICE's next product. Their old time devs sure didn't.

Just like Bioware, they're on thin ice. 2 failures so far. Mass Effect Andromeda, Anthem for Bioware. Battlefield V and this for DICE.

 

[MarsM4N]

Finally a new episode of [Neebs Gaming] Battlefield Friends is out. Don't miss the easter eggs in the kill feed.

 

[MarsM4N]

Really surprised there are still 2k+ on average playing this mess. The patches are mind boggling.

 

[Athlonite]

BFFs are funny as fuck I always get sore sides from watchin those vids
