BF2042 is good now, but what can make it great ?

So, we all have to apreciate the work that DICE has done to improve this game by making it a lot better than before, and also the fact that they didn't give up on it like soome thought they would do....

@Hunter45Killer good now? I guess that is in the eye of the beholder. If you peel the onion back a little bit, you will realize they haven't done much.

So what has been improved outside of the normal seasonal cycle and normal game bug fixes and tweaks?

1. Class System added which was a cute way to say "gadget restrictions", which were already in the game with Lis. Not hard to add restrictions to others then update the GUI.
2. Added a Scoreboard with fake weights. How it launched without one is anyone's guess.
3. Added VOIP. Again how did a team/squad based game launch without ANY voice?
4. Added All Chat = changed one value in the code.
5. Updated launch maps that were all half-baked upon launch.

Did I miss anything?

We are still missing basic core features like a Server Browser, squad management tools, and platoons. All the things needed to build a community.

The netcode/performance/hit reg causes wildy inconsistent game play, which is possibly the most maddening thing about the game past the mickey mouse MM.

EA and DICE checked out of this title in December 2021.

    I'm going to have to agree with Adamonic here. There are really game breaking features that need to be addressed. MM among other things doesn't belong in a Battlefield imho.

    @Adamonic Well of corse, it's not as good as old titles, but at least it's playable now that's all i'm saying.

    @Adamonic I beleive they should let modders modify the game, that would be amazing and will definetly improve a lot of stuff.

    I agree with you and the OP, in that the game has had some "improvements" since launch, but are basic features which were part of previous BF games on launch, e.g. BF4. It does suffer from a lack of squad management, spectator mode, other quality of life features, technical issues.. It also lacks variety in game modes which we had in BF3 and 4. 

    The specialists added a new flavor but without proper assignment to classes, they didn't belong in BF. More balancing is needed but putting them into classes was a step in the right direction.

    Hoping to see more changes for the better. EA forced the launch of a game unfinished and the game has suffered for it, and so did the community. There's only waiting to see if they'll be able to salvage it, if you're patient enough. 

    I am enjoying the game more now than before, but look forward to seeing everything mentioned here in the game and more.
