Difficult to impossible for me to compare 2042 to the previous iterations I've played before it because of a couple reasons:
- I play 2042 very differently (PvE) than BF3 & BF4 (only PvP)
- BF1942, BF2, BF2142 I played PvE but they are so old and long in the tooth in so many ways that you really cannot compare them anyway
I've enjoyed the PvE gameplay of 2042 and I have more than 300 hours into it so far ...while I have complaints about the PvE weapon & vehicle balancing, lack of good squad management, and the lack of full progression features in PvE bot matches I still would choose to play this over BF2 and 2142 for sure. Can't say if I prefer it over BF3 & 4 because I never had the chance to play those PvE.
At the bottom.
I've played most of them. They hit the nail on the head with BF4, should have made a killing with 1, but they messed that up. 5 was ok. then just dropped the ball with this
