BF2042 - GOOD and BAD

Honestly, I like the game. It's fun, it's addicting, but it is NOT as good as BF5 was. I'll try and tell you guys why in a.. very long list here

I won't be speaking stuff about optimization because bugs and etc can be improved and fixed. (HOPEFULLY LOL) 

Starting off, Dice has scrapped EVERYTHING that they worked on and evolved going from BF4 to BF5. We had great things in BF5 like crouch sprinting, Leaning, and Med packs (yet minor things)


BF5 also got rid of the typical weapon bloom/bullet spread. They gave us it back. I'm sure that's pissing many people off (including me). Self Explanatory

I'm fine with the HUD, many are not. BUT the HUD gets very annoying considering it is SO big that it blocks out your field of view, and gets you killed pretty easily. 

The game has only 22 Weapons. And yes, there is more because of portal. But I at least expect that Dice should have put more effort into BF2042 itself not Portal because people can just buy the previous games. Honestly, I'm sure most of us were here and hyped for 2042, not BC2 or BF3, whatever. We wanna play BF2042

But, considering the state of the "BF2042s BF2042", many of us are disappointed and lurk around Portal and enjoy it better. 

And of course balancing. BF has a bad history of balancing so that's kinda relevant in any game but whatever lol

And really, Armor Pads? Really? Hazardzone more like Warzone, jeez.
Skins, Cosmetics, Specialists, Battlepass? Is this Fortnite, rainbow six, warzone, and battlefield put in 1! Great!... 

Factions have been made obsolete. Same specialists, Same skins. Literally just no difference at all except for the Language lol
Speaking of factions, there barely are any! Only US and RU. No special other countries where battles are being fought like Indian armed forces, South Korean forces, Chinese forces, and French/Brazilian forces in French Guiana, Egyptian, and Singaporean forces if that exists lol?? idfk

Now, here's some pros

I love the maps in this game, and not necessarily the maps themselves, but I love the weather, tornados, etc. The environment if you wanna say.
(I swear, did Dice make these Tornados!? Must have been a different Studio! lol) 

The vehicles I think are good too.

The game is overall ok/decent. It's fun. It's addicting. But it definitely disappointed me a bit. 

Honestly, there's not many pros. It's kinda same ol same old tbh...


Just a subjective rating, but I'd say
7.8/10 

And yes, this is based off of my Opinions and many others. Feel free to argue or maybe agree, but I probably wouldn't care lol


Just gotta hope that by the 19th-end of the month things get better or maybe worse

  • Absolutely agreed with the stuff u said Bill, I'm just gonna add more things that I feel need to be adjusted, I will miss lots of the problems or have different opinions due to not having everything unlocked yet.

    First, REMOVE bloom/bullet spread!!!! This is something that never ever should be added in a battlefield game, I loved the gunplay on beta, it was responsive and rewarding. But after the first few matches in early access, it just brought my hype to rock bottom and decided to play vehicle and not touch infantry again before the issue is addressed. It was extremely frustrating for losing a fight due to spread, and it really brought the overall gameplay worse. Please don't take say it was added to make the game casual, I'm fine with a higher recoil, but not a random spread that doesn't even let me know where my shots are going. I'm sure most of us are here to play the not, and not to get outplayed by RNGesus.

    Vehicles:

    Hovercraft's mobility has to be changed, it can literally climb a skyscraper at a 90-degree angle, and weapon wise it just doesn't feel like it fit with the recon vehicle, since it was generally better, especially the protection. Recommend moving it with the armor category.

    Nightbird also needs a similar treatment as the hovercraft due to its survivability, but what's really causing the issue is that it is competitive compared to the attack chopper while it is in the same category as the transport aircraft, and in some of the matches we literally have no transport aircraft since the survivability is so strong on the nightbird.

    Fighters just need an overall big buff, there are too many issues in it, I will skip it, but the only quick solution I could think of is just to allow players to take both AA missiles while also having ATGM.

    Infantry gameplay:

    Need to add more movement from the previous bf, at least add leaning, the gameplay just feels dry when fighting

    Need more covers, smoke does help, but it wasn't enough

    Health recovery was nerfed too much, the time that it triggers now is good, but the recovery speed is too slow.

    Objective hud must need a change, it is blocking the sight and very distracting, recommend make it transparent and the closer a player gets, the more transparent it will be, the same thing if a player aims at it

    Give more feedback if a player damaged a vehicle, some of my friends think the vehicles are literally not taking damage due to the server since there's literally no feedback at all, but I assume it's just an early access issue(hopefully..)

    The range of the prox sensor needs to be reduced, especially when it's behind a wall.

    Mackay's hook in beta is good, except for the glitch people are using, and pressing the change weapon key will cut off the hook with some weird glitch where hook just retrieve randomly just made the experience frustrating

    Sliding needs to be more versatile, the sliding in beta is way too op, but right now it's way too useless, at least have it work when sliding downhill or a ramp

    Small gameplay issues:

    The detection of using repair tool when on an aircraft need to be fixed.

    Angle's armor supply needs a bigger detection range, and also more feedback.

    Jump after tactical sprint will have a weird slow motion, but it didn't happen on orbital... I wonder why.....

    Overall need more sound to be added to specialist skills, especially Casper's drone

    Also please give the option to turn off anti-aliasing

    Now here are some pros:

    Recoil and gun shake is way better than beta

    The map is beautiful and interactive

    Yeah lol I also thought that hovercrafts and that jets were pretty bad. I'm just unhappy that Dice has never improved any of their jets mechanics, I don't understand why they'd try and make something new and maybe implement something from ace combat or something. Some movement system that makes the planes different. Throttle turn, etc.

    The random deviation definitely makes automatics feel bad to use and I hope the revert it to recoil only. At the moment I'm using the DMR because at least I know my bullets are going to go where I'm aiming.
