BF2042 has become unplayable at this point
How do people even stand to play this game anymore?
I'll tell ya.
Go hacks or go home, thats how.
Feel like pushing a point with your squad? Too bad, there's a wall hacker sitting around the corner with an LMG.
Trying to flank and pressure the enemy in a different location? Too bad, the bolt action sniper with aimbot hits you with every shot from halfway across the map.
OOH! CQB MAP! Too bad there was an aimbotter with no recoil what-so-ever in the match who ended with 50-1.
I want to love this game. I really do. Great mechanics, great graphics, and I really enjoy the variety the different class operators offer to the BF series with their unique gadgets and such. And the maps are gorgeous. As a profession photographer by trade, I appreciate the extra little details they put into the game to make it look so good. Too bad every match is ruined by hackers. And please, don't insult the rest of us by saying that you've been playing since the game released and never seen a hacker. You're either one of the guilty parties being accused and ruining what could otherwise be a wonderful game, or you're just choosing to be ignorant on purpose. It's gotten bad enough, you can tell the difference between getting killed by a hacker, and getting killed by a legit player. I've put in the hours. I've grinded the weapons I like. I've read the guides and learned how to play each class how it should be played, and which weapons suit each operator the best. Don't tell me get good. I am as good as I am going to get while still playing legit. I'm not the problem. The game isn't the problem. The community is. If you're reading this and one of those players that are ruining the game for everyone else by using a hack, shame on you. Do better. Be better. Otherwise, may you have the day you so rightly deserve for ruining an otherwise amazing game.
And yes, I've reported hackers, even providing video evidence, for all the good it did. I'm pretty sure whoever wields the banhammer for this game at EA has never even played this game before.
Sadly, it's not just BF2042 either. All of the BF titles are just absolutely rampant with hackers. Warzone and COD aren't much better. I have friends who won't even touch these games anymore because of how abysmal the hacking has become. It's funny to watch new FPS titles release and people play the crap out of them for a couple of months, and then the interest dies off. Part of that has to do with them being something new and entertaining, but it is interesting to see how the linear progression of the increase in complaints of hackers goes up, the interest in the game dies off at the same rate. Funny coincidence, don't you think?
The even sadder part is that hackers aren't just ruining this community, but the FPS community as a whole. People are sick of it. Eventually, we are going to find a point where the only people playing FPS games anymore are the hackers. This is what this game genre has become; Lobbies infested with hackers that the devs completely ignore because they stream and advertise their game for them for free. Meanwhile, they ignore the majority of the community screaming for harsher regulation and punishment for hackers, all in the hopes that they might be able to enjoy their favorite game once again.
Now... BRB, I need to uninstall until EA gets these hackers under control, or until the hackers in this community can pull their heads out of their rear ends.
Which, neither is going to happen, which probably makes this goodbye for good.
Thank you for all the memories BF series. It was fun until it wasn't.
