hard oof bois, hard oof.

Even at a price 40% off the MSRP this game is still overpriced. It is a desperate reaction to keep the game populated. As steam charts indicate the player count is already on a decline. On steam there are almost as many Battlefield 5 players as there are Battlefield 2042 players. I played Battlefield 5 yesterday and it was really enjoyable. I mean it has never been perfect and also had lots of issues that we criticised back then. However compared to Battlefield 2042 it almost looks like a masterpiece made by geniuses.

Still a strong slap to the face of those who bought at full price to a massively buggy and broken release. Not a particularly good look, but then again...not much of DICE/EA is lookin' good.

If the BF2042 game was good and more players coming online to play it as expected per business plan, then this game would not have gone onto a fire sale just 3 weeks after launch, especially as we have xmas/new year days just ahead.Speaks volumes about the commercial disaster this has been so far.

Awwww.... How to thank those who did not request a refund and bought game for full price ? Send developers for Christmas holidays. Put the game at a discount. And spit in players' faces for a reward. Absolutely fantastic marketing which looks like stealing. I will definitely order the game from you next time for the full price (sarcasm).You wanted from C&C be like Starcraft => RIP C&C brandYou wanted from Anthem be like other MMO RPG => RIP AnthemYou wanted from Battlefield 2042 be like Battle Royale => RIP BattlefieldMass Effect Andromeda => RIP40% off for Battlefield 2042 3 week after release ? => You're killing loyal fans. Give me 3 reasons why I should pre-order a game from you in the future ? Releasing the game in the state you issued is an insult to all paying players. 40% gameoff 3 weeks after the release is a betrayal of these players. But at least that's why we know you lost with Battlefied. You admitted it publicly.I will quote your CFO: Powered by cutting-edge technology that pushes the capabilities of next generation hardware, the game drops players into a near-future, all-out-war experience that includes the franchise’s hallmark, game-changing destruction. Featuring matches filled with up to 128 players on the latest consoles* and PCs, this unprecedented scale adds a new dimension to multiplayer battles. Battlefield 2042also ups the action with the inclusion of real-time events that reshape the battlefield and tactical combat. All-new weapons, vehicles, and gadgets give players the freedom to be strategic and create jaw-dropping, only-in-Battlefield moments.Yes, you did it you have take Battlefield to a new level. You have also overcome yourself "coughing Anthem"

The WOW and big deal is obvious. I studied marketing. You don't mark down a product which is very popular, selling well and has the potential to produce the projected revenue. That it is already being marked down is testimony that it is not meeting revenue targets. I wasted $108 on this dog. And it is nothing like the video advertising both outside and inside the game. It is a disgraceful POS! And now they have changed the only good thing, Portal and replaced BF; 1942, 3, and Bad company with Rush. In addition the weekly mission has you getting 30 kills with a crappy weapon like the Marksman rifle, and 50 revives, you're lucky to get 3 in a match and 3 arming or defusing in Rush. My skill level is not the best and that is not going to happen so I have 0 motivation to play this trashy game. I am very disappointed and anyone that asks me, I tell them don't buy it.@CountSero wrote:So what is now the “wow “ on this topic?This is not the first game, that happened so many times before with other AAA titles get some % off 4-6 weeks after release and every time some people get upset.For examples Jurassic World Evolution is out for around 1 month now and you get 30% off or the new Guardians of the Galaxy also 35% off, both on steamAnd as someone has written before its max 33% off on origin not 40% 😉So as I said this happens all the time….nothing new

I agree with you and for a game with so many problems that dice doesnt even want to address is rediculous. Thanks Dice for making me pay 120 dollars for a game that isnt even good,sad to see that halo had a better release then they did.

@Prep768 Me 🙋 As I'm still not able to play this game (low fps/fps drops), I switched back to BF5 and it's soo much more fun with the smaller maps, scoreboard, squads etc.
I also switched to play COD (the new Vanguard, not Warzone) for the first time in life and I have to admit, I really like it. It's a shame that EA/Dice is not able to make a game which runs smoothly like Vanguard. Especially because Vanguard or even BF5 looks just as good as 2042.

@DuhJetLife Bro nobody made you pay $120, you paid it, now suck it up. You got to play the beta, you could see the state it was in and you made your grown up decision to pay that much. I knew it was in a bad state, I waited to see how the launch went which went poorly, they put out 3 patches one after another fixing a few things, I watched to see how that went and there was enough fixed to where its playable now, not great by any means, not even good IMHO but playable and just happened to see the price drop so I took advantage. Pre ordering these days is just dumb, its not like they are running short on digital copies these days lol

@Movi37 I agree, im on ps5 and to me there are very few if any visual differences that make me say wow this game truly is the next generation of battlefield games. If anything its a step back in most areas of gameplay and the graphics are just inline with bfv at best.

Pay full prices for a game that is hardly playable even having an outstanding hardware and now after only 3 weeks is already at low price?
It is just me or we don't have good reason to feel scammed?
I think this version have lost the original BF essence were a squad is formed with different specialist soldiers complementing one each other with some specifically gadget and fight all togheter in a common point. Maybe is kinda idealist but I'd been playing since BF2 and that is how Id always felt it. As I said many times, I feel like playing Apex and many times I felt "Fortnitized".
I'm sure EA is trying to avoid their ship from sinkin and one way to prevent it is just trying to sell the game to more people so we (the stupid believers) can keep on playing.
The frustration of being killed by super hero soldiers beause lag servers and fps problems is getting bored.

If you played the beta and bought the game you didn’t get scammed at all, you knew full well what you was buying!
