BF2042 - Problems

Did we have this many problems with game before?

No, not really, first introduction to BF2042 I heard that DICE was way a head. It sounded like the game was almost finished... That was a few monthes ago!

So I thought, why not, try this game. I am not much for the WW2 settings but there wore something else in 2042.

I feel a bit fooled, I thought that atleast we would have propper server list so we could play with our friends or even find a clan to play with. But that is screwed up... We used to be 10 - 15 atleast in the old clans I played with... That would not work with BF2042. The old DICE weapon Spread is here too. I was hoping you would have learned by now that feature is not a good one. This games features are not finished, if im "EMP-ed" or something and "die" it can not spawn again, cause the entire screen flickers and the timer does not count down or the bar resets every time the screen flickers. So it's impossible to respawn. The Hoovercraft is so (Sorry) dumb that it needs to be taken out of the game! The helicopters are to powerfull. I get why people want to fly them, it's a XP and Kills farming machine.So I wonder why you changed Portal XP farming when you have the helecopters? The maps are not that good after a while playing on them. Most of the time I find my self on the gound running, not that it's far. But there is hardly no cover at all, and there comes a helicopter! Respawning...

Reduce the rockets / weapons the helicopters have. Reduce the number of flying vehicals allowed at the same time on each team. The Hoovercraft needs a real rework, driving up the walls? Speeding around so fast it's almost impossible to hit them. So I suggest removing them from the game and reworking them. Hitting them with one rocket should make them useless concidering it's an aircussion... But cause of it's a game well lets have two hits! Change the way assault rifles work! Most hand weapons should not have any spread, atleast not when you tap-fire.

  • They already said that the next patch coming at the end of next week (?) will nerf the hovercraft.  ....along with other fixes / improvements.

    So much not yet, but BF4 was also pretty broken.

    Also, DICE tells every BF it would be all totally super and ready... that's why you play the open beta first, there you see what you will get. And yes even there DICE tells every time the beta is already months old and DICE is already much further. But like every time that never corresponds to the truth and the release you get every time exactly what you had in the beta. But... the BF4 beta ran much better than the BF4 release version.

    I'm just wondering how DICE managed to screw it all up. They had several teams, an incredible number of developers, but the management was not able to direct their manpower properly.

    The base, the technical foundation of the game worked for years. But suddenly in BF 2042 everything that worked in BF4,1,V is broken? How can that be?

    The maps... I like big maps, and no it's not because of the size of the maps in BF 2042. The map design is not good, they are two dimensional maps. Whoever has been doing the maps since BF1... they should get another job, they simply not able to do it. This is now the third BF with such bad maps, only this time spread over a larger area, and yes with the size the bad craft is even more noticeable.

    No one needs to come up with Covid as an excuse. Software development works very well in the home office. There are enough studios that work almost entirely from home, and that was the case long before Covid.

    But if you give BF 2042 some time, it can still become something. But not in the next 6 months....

  • Game is unplayable, crashes to desktop EVERY time I play. Ea is also refusing a refund.DONT buy the game.
