- @1Hairy-Gorilla well Halo will be free or I should say on gamepass. So it could hurt BF sales as people will have a game to play on PC/xbox. And if that 2042 has the typical BF launch, out of the trio, BF will suffer the most. COD may be trash but it will be playable. Halo should be fine.
I worry about the ponies with BF. We dont even know if it can run on PS5 or PS4. We so need the beta so we can discuss on this forum everything we see and feel in-game. - @ArchAngeL-PCX Whats funny is they want to do these games every 2 years starting with 2042. EA is pushing the live service. I am ok with the live service and I am not all at the same time. I think about Anthem which had so much potential and could of been something great.
I agree this game needs time and it very well may get that time. We need to keep an eye on the beta dates as this game may very well get pushed into 2022 especially if someone high up feels they will lose money in that new release window with COD and Halo. COD is COD, nothing really new and the same players will be playing regardless. Impo, the new Halo has been looking ROUGH since it was announced so I'm not at all worried about it being 'competition'.
2042 itself can be whatever but I'm really hoping they knock Portal out of the park
- @TTZ_Dipsy Halo and Cod are some big titles. I think they both will out sale BF especially in that release window. Not many titles can beat COD year after year.
I am not too excited about Portal to be honest. Looks gimmicky if thats the right word. But I may be wrong, because in truth, None of us know much about BF. I would love to see some gameplay of making something in portal then everyone playing a full game. We have no full conquest gameplay either. And this is why its delayed. They are further behind than willing to admit.
I rather them not crunch and take their time enjoying the process with releases of gameplay to the community. Add in communication and the majority of community will be patient with them. @ghinavirusSimilar sentiments about Portal. I have serious doubts about its real capabilities.
Perhaps it will launch at smaller scale / with more constraints on it, but as you said, who knows? Information, of any kind really, would be nice.@ghinavirus COD will definitely outsell most if not all games (honestly I don't get the appeal but hey, whatever floats your boat), and Halo will probably sell amazingly well too but purchases vs longevity are two completely different things.
I'm intrigued by Portal because it appears to be Community Games/RSP on steroids - This will be amazing for Leagues and community-driven events like Bottletop, FNB, and Silly/Munky Sundays to name a few. Being able to create custom matches with assets from multiple titles should allow for creativity to shine and hopefully bring new and old players back into the fold after seeing stuff on social media.
We got glimpses but you're right, we definitely need some more in-depth showcases how everything works: new control areas in CQ, and Portal Editor + sharing are top priority, personally. Beta should give us all we need to know about Specialists and how the gadgets will function on the fly- @TTZ_Dipsy I feel the same about COD. Just doesnt make me excited like it once did.
I truly hope Portal is special for the community. It could put the franchise a notch or 2 up especially in a time where gaming tends to have peaked.
Fingers crossed for all my BF homies where we get a great release and enjoyable experience. I know it will just be the beta but we will be playing BF 2042 sometime near the end of the month I bet.
- @ghinavirus Hey Pony here, but I for one am SICK and damn tired of every single game thinking it needs a battlepass like thing, it seems every damn game these days feel they need to add one and it certainly puts me off on some games.
@TTZ_DipsyWell when 343i added in the loot crates crap and then their worse Halo campaigns it started going downhill for me, I loved Halo all the way through to Reach and then 343i took over, I barely managed to beat the campaign for 4 and then idk if I even got half way through with 5 I just couldn't do it.
