EA F up a franchise again.
Well, Well, Well, who would have thought that the game wasn’t as good as how it was advertised.
EA is not overconfident; they just know how to lie better than anyone else.
EA/DICE isn't what they once were. They used to care and listen to their core players that willing sink in thousands of hour in one game but I guess they can’t make $$$ if we don’t buy their new crappy game, right? They used to know what they want to do with the game itself. They just want the easy in and easy out, get the money and leave us crying on the floor. They are now listening to the kid that can yell the loudest on how their game should be balanced and played. But don’t be sad this is how big company ripping us off sometimes (well, most of the time).
I haven't played any newer Battlefield since BF4 until Battlefield 2042.
It seem like they make this game easy to play but hard to setup. To play this game somewhat smooth and not crashing required so many manual tinkering.
Not mentioning that EA Help wasn't that helpful with my problem around Weekly Mission that cannot be completed as it didn't show up completely.
Somehow all of my requests just go through India and I don't think 80% of them know anything about this game at all or how to solved anything at all.
I opened so many tickets as they didn't fix my problem or they just comfort me but couldn't do anything more to help. A few Yell! and give * instruction like, install DirectX9, uninstall the game then delete cache and install the game again. None of those crap works.
The core of the game has so many problems. They just make this game suitable for kids or super casual player that play for the LOL. How's the C5 drone not been taking out of the game after 2 months? All the armoured vehicle can't out run a c5 drone that can EMP and just crash into to detonate the C5s. The skill requirement in that is virtually nonexistence. Not mentioning that if..... if we can shoot that mother flipping drone, the enemy isn't dead or hurt, he can just wait and get his drone back and find ammo box or Angel’s crate to fully resupply his C5s.
Map design and spawning points are utter *. Why do I have to be force spawn at the beginning where there’s no vehicle left to get in? 75% of the infantry have to run 150-200 m just to get to the first flag that the slowest vehicle can captured it before we get there. All the Conquest map should have all type of transport vehicle litter around the place to get around faster and more covers for tactical game play, not just some smooth as lawn with few trees. The capturing UI where they tell you how many people are trying to capture the point is just taking out all the fun and all inner game mechanics like what we have in BF4. The amount of time to neutralised enemy’s flag by yourself is forever, they can respawn back 3 times after you kill them, if you can kill them. Team playing within a party is none existence if you play with randoms as there isn’t a VOIP in game to communicate what you want quickly with squad mate.
As someone that put in 5K hours in BF4 and somewhat decent as a vehicle player I really hate how they make the vehicle so slow to drive and turn. There’s no icon to tell me where my gunner is aiming or the decoupling aiming with driving that they implemented back in BF4.
No basic scoreboard to see my K/D or my overall score compare to other people (not that I care much about K/Ds). At least in BF4 the game add up all the contribution like healing, giving people ammo and capturing point. Then compare the score not just the kills, assists and revives.
I can’t even taunt or giving an enemy a chapeau when they got me with a good shot. Now all the toxicity just builds up in my own team. Not being to choose the region or seeing how many people are waiting in each of the mode/server is just ridiculous. I’m playing from Asia and most of the people cannot speak English and each of the country has their own language. I’m pretty much playing the game without being able to communicate with 80% of the people or choose a server in the region that’s populated. I posted in Steam forum 2 weeks ago about reducing minimum player to start the game as we have this problem and the server that I join just couldn’t start. The problem keep getting worse and worse as when people can’t get a server going, so less and less people are willing to start up the game just to spend 10-30 minutes waiting in lobby with their CPU and GPU running almost full steam while not being able to play the game. Good job there DICE in the game optimisation department.
imo BF4 was the height of modern Battlefield and it’s been downhill from there.
That’s it I’m not ready for any newer BattleBuggyField game anymore.
- @🤭SerendipityOo I share Your pain. I have alone in BF4 1.5k hours. Not to mention that I have been by the series since 2005 not only playing but had been running admin tools in the background or modding the game in BF2 on the server-side.
Mouse tracking is completely wrecked in the game. No Kills and Deaths in a Scoreboard that is not even present is pretty self-explanatory in the FPS genre. Forget about TEAMWORK points in BF2042. No information under TAB about PING or other players' latency. We are talking about first person shooter, right?
No global chat, so players may grief exclusively on AI after getting into the game finally in their team chat.
No server browser, no rental servers, no communities, barren world in the same manner as the maps.
A huge letdown is a too polite expression for the current mess that won`t be solved in many departments.- @alucardgr Next modern BF doesn`t have to be the same. BF3 is not the same as in many aspects BF4.
The game flow and map design are completely different than in BF2042.
What the next BF needs to be a success are maps built in a similar manner as in BF2 and 3. Limited verticalities and scale when it comes to maps as possible, so the game flow is more consistent with previous titles. No cringe-worthy elements, serious tone keeping players in suspense like in a good thriller. Another and very important "feature" as they say is a Server Browser and the possibility to rent a server. Without it, players will continue to play on AI and create only exploitative XP farms. Clans and smaller communities won`t have any incentive to stay longer in-game or even are being forced to abandon the franchise because of Devs' "woke and easy dollar" decisions. Groups of players with 4+ members have nothing to anticipate with the current Lobby and matchmaking system. Players would like to have a choice whether to play constantly on the same map or with 3000 tickets and so on. Also, I`m not a lone wolf and the option to have 5 or 6 players in Squad is highly desirable (spawns on squad leader, second leader, and additional spawn beacons would be enough to balance the game potentially). Without classes, Conquest feels like a "Free for All" game mode. VoIP is necessary especially in experimental game modes like Hazard Zone. Scoreboard that shows K/D and top 20 players on each side, possibly scrollable in menus - BF is a first person shooter for the Love of God. There is a lot to build upon previous Battlefields, but the "suits" don`t see it that way.
That would be my wishlist.
