I prefer a modern day setting with smaller maps, 32 player rush/domination and 64 player conquest on smaller better designed realistic battlefields where you can have a fun tactical game with your squadmates.
It really hurts to see how horrific the game is. Its 100.000 miles away from the greatness of bfbc2 and bf3. They should just make a remaster of those two games and i would happily pay €100 for it.
Pto!
@cornybbq2 Well said, and I agree. Some simple net math will tell ya 128 players while possible, is never going to look good in terms of WYSIWYG in the real world with all the diverging weapon metrics and player speeds that a BF game has -- all the connection quality variations players have, and 2042 is a poster child for this.
I also agree, EA could have done a remaster of just about any BF game and I'd be willing to play twice your suggested price if it was well done, and buy it for all my friends (and you), and pay to host a server (were that even an option).
Battlefield has Fans for a reason: the game's design canon that has been around and evolved and refined for nearly twenty years, is (or was) unique and compelling. Some iterations have been a bit off, and not as compelling as others, but all were recognizable as a Battlefield game, and none will have elicited as much buyer's remorse as this game has and will.
I think there may be problems here simply too big and expensive to fix, certainly in any timely fashion that's going to satisfy anyone that has doled out money. With that, the level of disappointment, disgust, and ire and volume of returns we're about to see when this game is released is going to be shocking.
