Looks like OP cherry picked BF3. I'd much rather play BF3 than lie to myself and say the "Combined Arms" Bf2042 is a true BF game. Sure maybe at its core, but the systems in place and design was very, very poorly executed. BF3 has open maps, vehicles, Infantry vs Infantry vs Vehicles....classes, sandbox elements,

I've got 300+ hours in 2042 and have been playing battlefield for as long as OP.
2042 is just another entry in the series that requires different tactics to account for what is probably the most faced paced battlefield release in the series.
I genuinely think the maps are some of the most diverse and interesting maps battlefield has launched with for a long while.
Do I prefer BF4 at this stage, probably, but let's see what 2042 is like once they start the balancing phase.

Stew, I think the biggest problem in most players eyes is that battlefield 2042 lost its masculinity. It is the cheesy lines for them and non-military looks of characters etc. it does not change the gameplay for me at all and I don’t mind them but I’m OK if they change them too. There is also the herd mentality at play. Lots of people don’t want to lose friends over this or seem uncool making up their own minds not joining them with the hate. Also for some people it’s hard to admit that they were wrong before or hard to change their minds if convinced. It’s just a human condition. The game has problems, yes. But as Stew stated it’s not as bad as people paint it for sure. I for one try to post constructive criticism because I want the game to thrive I don’t want it to die off. I would like to play it for a few years. Portal has a lots of potential as well.

I don't really get these posts.
The player-count says it all.
Dice has postponed new content to 'summer', because they admit that game has failed and it needs a lot of changes, to have any chance gaining any popularity again.
Not even EA/Dice are defending the game anymore, so why waste time on the forums, trying to defend the game?
- 4 years ago@JOGAGATYA "lost its masculinity"
Literally what the hell does this even mean. Cheesy lines at the end have nothing to do with masculinity/femininity.
"herd mentality"
Somehow I don't think anyone is losing friends over saying they enjoy BF2042. If they are, those were terrible, awful, no-good 'friends' to begin with.
I agree that there's some hyperbole in the criticism the game receives at time, but that's largely a result of the community being abandoned to stew in negativity since the start of the year as DICE have been unwilling to communicate or engage. Plus the fact that the only information we are getting comes from a known and trusted leaker and includes things like a town hall where EA (denies) blaming Halo Infinite for many of the launch problems BF2042 faced.
Until DICE starts becoming a better source of information than a guy on Twitter, this extra negativity will remain.- 4 years ago@edgecrusherO0 Lol, the negative reaction to the 'cheesey' lines and female bad 'posteriors' rubbing your face in it have a lot to do with fragile egos and masculinity.
I'm past that point in life where I care about such things but I get why young males who like playing war games would find that an issue.
- 4 years ago@Tank2042Man The problem is many players want to play this how they played the previous battlefield games and refuse to adapt and use different strategies so they say the game is trash

Even if we take away all gameplay elements , like maps and specialists and so on the game is still a straight up downgrade.
It's graphics are worse, the details, the animations, the physics, basic systems like the squadsystem... Idk... it's just all around worse than anything before.

Yep you have sum it up .. some peoples are stuck into their " metro 64 players 24/7 or Zavod 24/7 mentality where they can avoid maps they have difficulty in , or anything that chalenge them !- BR-DuaneDibbley4 years agoSeasoned Ace@Stew360
Yes, you started this thread. But could you please do us all a favor and stop trolling?
Metro with 64 players on CQ was bad, also the improved version, there is no doubt. And definitely not combined arms. Nobody will argue against that (despite it still has a place in the game as obviously many players enjoy that kind of chaos, so let them!).
But honestly, Zavod? Zavon 311 is one of the better (maybe the best?) map out of all BF4 maps. Please don't even TRY to say that there is ANY 2042 map that would be even worth comparing to Zavod. You are a troll and yes, this brings you replies that helps you reply again and increase your forum rank and post count. That might be the only thing you can achieve.
