Battlefield 4 is better than 2042.
This is just my opinion and I'm curious to see what others think. Mostly I hate 2042. The remix of controls was a horrible idea. Flight is on rails and so horrible, beyond horrible, that I want to ju...

Obviously 2042 aims to steal CoD and Apex players hence the gameplay feels like on constant 1.35x speed. Feels even faster to me than BFV.
Squadplay is so bad with randoms bcs almost no one takes medic/ammo bags, so when you out of Rockets/C5s against vehicles, you can just kill yourself and redeploy, rockets feels weak anyway.
Specialists is the laziest thing they could do, no classes means the worse teamwork than any previous game, no different team design so It wont ruin monetization of upcoming "cool" specialists.
I am not talking about bugs, glitches and performance issues, I am talking about gameplay that feels too arcady to me, just spawn mf, run mf, shoot and die mf.
Got back to play BF4 and BF1 and it is day and night compared to 2042.
Canceled my preorder and will wait for reviews first and probably a big sale in a month after the release (if they dont delay it). I have high hopes that game will flop like bf5.
I played BFV today the gun play and recoil is way better!
Funny to see how people compares polished Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 2042 Beta that isn't even an actual build. Why don't you compare BF4 Beta and BF2042 Beta. I perfectly remember how BF4 Beta was and it wasn't better than BF2042 Beta.
Happens every Beta test.
The Beta Bf4 was not a better. I rememer too many bugs and crashing and also after full release.
- @IIPrest0nII Agreed. People need to chill out. Y’all sound dumb as hell, talking about how you’re a ‘battlefield vet’ since whatever game (no one cares), but can’t appreciate the difference between a game that has been polished to a mirror shine over 7(ish) years vs a game that is still in development.
You raise a valid point if I was dogging on bugs and lack of polish, which I'm not. Imagine if you will a racing game like (insert popular franchise here) suddenly gutting vehicle controls and rebinding them to some alien layout- that's a flaw in my opinion. And that's all this is, my opinions. In YOUR opinion the gripes of veteran players are dumb, but in the majority opinion it's been a common flaw on a multitude of threads. I appreciate your viewpoint but I would ask that you respect other people and their views here, please. Name calling doesn't lend itself to reasonable discussion.
I personally tried to get into the beta. I experimented with different controls and layouts, tried every vehicle and combination as well; the new layouts are trash. YES, this build is "months old" according to the devs and maybe adding a "veteran" layout wasn't worth the effort at the time, but that strikes me as a developer oversight especially when it comes to things like flight in the choppers. But that's an opinion I hold, along with enough people that I hope it's taken into account and added as they polish the game further. There's a great comment talking about how someone believes its a good way to grab new player, and that perhaps portal is where the 'veteran' players will end up living. If I can link it I will, it was well reasoned and well written!
Thank you everyone so far for your input, it's nice to see other people's views and complaints or things they enjoyed as the thread grows.
- @IIPrest0nII I am one of the many people that didn't comment on actual gameplay issues during the Technical Playtest, because it was the universal opinion that is what the Beta was for. So now we are at a point where we can't discuss the gameplay, because this build is a more stable version of the Technical Playtest build, but only a small set of bugs has been fixed.
So most criticism is conceptional rooted, and I think its valid to compare concepts of a unreleased game to a released game, especially when they are supposedly both part of the same brand.I definitely agree with you.
Chopper gameplay is way better in BF4 that is for sure.
