Battlefield 2042

But pre ordering EA games., that's just insane.
I preordered Mirror's Edge Catalyst in 2016 and I had nothing to complain. It was my first preorder ever. Though also last from EA after all what I've read online about preordering any EA title. :D
 
wake up man

Pls, just 5 more mins.... promise i'll pay you double for the snooze services too :roll:
this is EA corporate BS filler content. Every BF since 4 has been utter shite, either on release or some time afterwards. Well maybe 4 was still alright, but then they went total nutcase.

They swap it around so they can keep themselves busy. DICE has been doing the same thing for how long now? And they still didn't figure it out on launch? That's just total incompetence, and its not DICE hasn't got a history in that regard. The talent drain at EA companies is very well visible, a result of EA management.

Its the same thing as what you see in CoD. The formula was already perfect a half dozen versions ago, and only deteriorates because it 'has to reinvent itself' or people won't notice a difference. A result of forcing devs to do a yearly or bi yearly release. At that time frame you just have to re-use assets to keep up.
I dunno. I'm less familiar with all the nitty gritty stuff but as for gameplay, bat 1 and bat 5 (released after 4) have been great. I don't look too much into the "should have beens" and "what ifs". Just blast it on and blast everyone away is usually enough for me. And I don't buy pre-launch/launch... i tend to wait with games and hardware launches.

Actually I don't even know what the above was in reference to?
 
Jesus. Just been browsing the Steam drubbings. Yikes, this game is a mess.

If you start to think about most AAA launches recently (apart from the Sony/MS/Nintendo own studios), i would say it's average
 
If you wanna know why BF2042 is in it's state like it is & why they made such dumb design decisions, have a read.
Explains everything :kookoo:: Battlefield 2042 Devs in Trouble; EA DICE Taking Flak From Employees

Hightlight:

"What is left is an exoskeleton of what was one of the most innovative studios in the world. [...] the same title bi-year after bi-year. What the players are buying now is not Battlefield, but instead, an EA hijacked memory of that Battlefield was or what it could be. Instead of looking how to improve the gameplay for the players, monetization is dictating the direction to go with the game, unfortunately."


And the EA crap continues. Looks like they flagged AngryJoe's rant video on Youtube, for "Nudity & sexual content".
Apparently Amazon disabled reviews of BF2042 on their site. Bet EA had their hands in both occurrences. ;)

'Battlefield 6' Will Be "A Love Letter To Fans", Says EA :laugh: EA says "Battlefield 6 is ‘way ahead’ of schedule"
 
As bad as the game is, it's more eye opening on how corrupt the video game marketing world has become. There's well known people/pages scoring this game in the 90's!! Even if you find the game fun and know nothing about the battlefield games before it that had more features, the bugs alone should drag the score way down.
 
Was super hyped about the game before release, mainly because they promised solo/coop vs AI exp progression and all the promise of Portal. Still trying to stay optimistic, but struggling to find any reason to. From everything I can see the overall player/weapon animation quality is stiff and janky down to BOCW level (read: poor attempt at trying to copy MW, instead of just tweaking/refining what they're good at a la Halo Infinite), problems with sound design, disabling their promised AI exp progression due to exp farms, godawful HUD that is the same for Portal, etc etc

In particular, couldn't help but notice how janky the Portal weapons look. They could have just ported over the original BF3 animations for BF3 weapons and redone the textures, I don't think anyone would have complained about that given how nice BF3 and BF4 weapons feel even if they're not hyper-realistic. Now they're neither realistic nor do they look or feel nice.

Coop would be so awesome, I'm sad this was taken out.
 
I miss having a simple thing such as a scoreboard! I haven't been able to find it yet if it is available after matches.
I did have some fun playing last night. I just have to lower my expectations to about 0 :roll:

I had known about some of the old devs quitting the studio but I didnt know it was on such a massive scale.

I dont think the franchise will ever be the same again. Nevermind actually having a game that is good right out of the box.

We've seen what happened to BIOWARE and their franchises. We've seen what EA did with the Medal Of Honor franchise. We've seen how they dealt with Star Wars and Anthem.

There is no hope the franchise will ever be as good as it once was.

The only thing we can hope for now is all the former devs do a DREAMHAVEN and start up a new studio and make new games in the vein of battlefield but obviously under a different name. Probably never going to happen but we can all cross our toes and hope.
 
2042 is a Alpha not even a Beta, there are so many bugs.

But the best one is that the game dont reconized it if u shoot on the enemy,
i fired now a few times the full magazine of the 45 MP (31 Bullets) on an enemy and nothing happen (im playing on Hardcore Portal Servers).

Sorry but ive never played a game in the past, that have so crazy bugs, without the Portal Mode the game would be DOA (Dead on arrival).

Well, good news. :) They did already: Embark Studios

Some former DICE employees created a new studio & working right now on 3 new games.
Embark Studios is working on 3 games. 2 are code named Pioneer and Discovery

I was going to say that my hopes perked up just a bit till i saw that Mr. Patrick 'dont like it, dont buy it' Söderlund was one of the co-founders.

Im not going to give the man who gave us trash like BF5 any of my hard earned money.

Yea that was a dumb arrogant statement. :rolleyes: But ey, when he was in charge we got BC2, BF3 & BF4.
And he left the sinking ship because they didn't follow his vision on Battlefield.

Wondering if he's still holding his US$11 million of EA shares after the BF2042 debacle, lol.
 
Bugs for now on PS4: (Im playing on 200% Hardcore Setting)

If ure in an waiting loop it kicks u back to Main Menu
U cant cancel a waiting loop
Graphical Bugs (Ardennen the river as example switch its color from black to blue in a fast rate)
Falling trough the Map
"Server" search cant be saved every time i wanna switch it, i need to set the search paramters again
My Setup need to be changed after every Server change cause it cant save my config with Rifles etall.
Every vehicle is for the M5 a Onehit
Game crash sometimes and need to be restarted
Game crash sometimes with an Error Code
The PP-29 can everything, close range, mid range, long range (every other Class is useless)
Pumpgun make damage like lottery sometimes on 50m onehit sometimes on 5m nothing
Shoots dont get tracked: i shoot sometimes a full Mag on a enemie nothing happens, with the guns on vehicles tagainst Players its the same.
Bugs with the Spawn, if i want to spawn on E1 i spawn randomly on E2 or E3 (sometimes in the Enemy Flag)


Better to play BFV if want to play a BF :laugh:
 

Can we expect revised benchmarks with these updates?

I dunno how the w1zzard does it, but he's gotto wave his wand again for this game (pretty pls, oh great one).
 
They probably told him to get out after this turd. It’s got more bugs than a cockroach factory.
If you bothered reading he was offered another job during development of bf2042 and he told them he wanted to finish the development of the game before he left for the new position and they agreed.
 
A good example as to why pre-orders are a scam.
 
Which laptop can offer 100+ fps at lowest setting for this game and it does not cost u an arm and a leg?

I read the article. Sounds like a excuse to be honest.

You just think that because then it aligns nicely with your statement and you think you know what really happened when you dont.
