Battlefield 2042 currently has 74% negative user reviews on Steam.

This is an issue. This has to be the worst BF game launch in history and nothing like the war simulator we wanted. All they seemed to worry about is stupid gimmicks like weather events and rocket l...

@Reddoguk Not the worst in history.

While it is unfortunate that game still needs so much work, Battlefield 4 was worse at launch. Battlefield V was better at launch, but the drama surrounding it and the doubling-down on dumb or broken game mechanics were early coffin nails.

I do not really pay attention to media input on the game at this point. They all say the same thing and the easy, self-gratifying groupthink is really good at not seeing the forest for the trees...

My take is still that the game is fun, but it needs a lot of work still.

@carsono311 with a 2 year cycle now, do they stay with it and fix it or add the features on the next game?

We never had EA say 2 year cycle before. It changes everything on how they see 2042. It may be a stepping stone to them for the next game where they will focus majority of their attention and finances. Just typical wall street business.

I hope they fix this game, I really do.

    @ghinavirusThat is my biggest concern / fear. The list is so long at this point, that I seriously wonder how realistic it is that they get to it all...

    They really need to pump brakes on any 2 year cycle and open their eyes to this game's reception and every other game around it getting delayed and/or releasing with serious issues...

    Otherwise, their next game will be an even bigger, buggier mess. It is essentially self-sabotage at that point.

      @carsono311 it is my fear also. I want them to see 2042 true and through. Dice needs to be realistic with EA and stop saying yes to everything.

      If season 1 flops and I think it will because no way with the list of issues can be resolved by January for season 1. My concern is do they stick with it or just throw some half baked crap on the wall to make it seem like they are still here for the game when they truly abandoned it.

      That is where we agree my friend. And we will have our answers in less than 60 days.
