This late in the day changing the entire game to a class system has made the experience worse for me personally. I enjoyed the freedom of choice we had and never felt like there was an issue with the gameplay due to lack of classes. Now it’s just annoying having to change class to find the things I want to use at any given moment in a game. Why don’t you show the pictures/symbols of the gadget and extras next to the specialists name like all the other weapons and gadgets that have been selected so it’s quick and easy to see?
I think a better solution this far down the road would have been to leave the core game style as it was and have added in a ‘classes’ game mode for those die-hards that wanted it so much. It’s not like bringing classes back is going to recover the game to the levels expected of it at release. My biggest disappointment with 2042 is the lack of destruction and how clinical the building environments are.
The biggest fail with this update are the change in controls. This far into the games lifecycle why did you think it was a good idea to mess with the muscle memory we have all built up? You could have at least added presets for the old layouts; standard and alternate. I’ve customised the buttons back apart from being able to call in the tablet. It seems impossible to assign more than one button and so I can’t use the tablet anymore. Thanks!
It made no sense to have the attachments button as triangle; it’s way less practical and slower to use during game. Did anyone actually play test it?
A minor issue, but the new hit markers. Seriously? Who signed those off as looking ok? I thought it was a graphical glitch at first. They look like something from a game from 20 years ago. You can do a lot better!
I’ve had several black screens while trying to load a match, which never seem to go anywhere. I’ve had a complete game crash during a match. Hopefully they get ironed out soon.
I was playing Arica Harbor and an enemy vehicle was traversing the map whilst shooting and it was completely invisible apart from its orange indicator.
The scoreboard, particularly on Arica Harbor seemed very difficult to read. With certain backdrops the scoreboard needs to be darker. It’s worse that dead teammates are faded on the scoreboard.
So far the several matches I’ve played have felt less enjoyable overall than pre-update. Maybe it’s just getting used to the changes.
At least you’ve been listening to the community, and have been steadily trying to improve the game, so well done on that front. The redesigned breakaway has been great to play so far.
