@ZathexI agree with you completely, as a Bf veteran myself (since BF2) i can tell you that this ain't my cup of tea. I've clocked in 190 hours and most of the time i've had to force myself to play it. There was nothing else to play so BF 2042 was my only option, i've played SOOOO much of the other BF games, didn't feel like going back to them either, so i played BF 2042 from time to time, not really having fun.
But then came out COD MWII and let me tell you, it's daaamn fun and i'm not even a COD guy, always have i been a BF player. But this COD is just awsome especially the DMZ mode, I highly recommend you to try it, very fun with friends AND it's FREE.
@DigitalHype Great point, I forgot that one.
Spawning on a flag should not put you on front of someones aim or a tank that runs over you. Being instantly killed isn't fun, isn' strategy to save the flag, and is nothing you have control over. One would expect that the game would put out further out, in a building or be smart in one way to at least not put you in front of something that will kill you asap.
It is my decision to spawn there, but it is a huge part of the strategy to save a flag. It can't be fund for a tank either when they put me beside it and I C4 it, or someone else that are put inside my sight so that I just press the button and get the kill.
Battlefield is a team game where team play used to matter, no it is everyone for themselves which of course is also a problem with as for example air vehicles as people do other things they believe are more fun than to take care of a good pilot because it is too hard. Aim more towards team play by good reward as you say!
@Gterror8 - Force yourself into playing it, that is exactly our feeling, couldn't agree more. It is not how a game that you love should be.
I might try it as I heard good things about CoD Zombie mode, while I can't stop hoping that they will fix this game. I will not buy the next battlefield (For the first time during my 12 years) until it has been proved a success.
I came to think on a few other points:
- Trying to mark a flag as a team leader is now extremely hard for some reason, might only be me on PS5 but I have to really aim and do it several times
- Stop the possibility to look outside vehicles (a.k.a old hardcore) could be a way to stop also stop them from seeing where missile are coming from and where people run and hide. Might solve most things actually (People will mostly cry about it as it would "become to hard")
- Calling in vehicles in the middle on the battlefield could be focused on transport vehicles, instead of tanks, to also balance that a bit, however not sure if necessary
- The classes with special abilities touches more of a "kid" game than an original battlefield game in my opinion, these could be skipped entirely. One idea could be to keep them but make you "earn points" by taking flags, (maybe killing enemies), supporting your friends with healing etc where you could use your ability ones, then need to save up points again. This could reward people that play for the team to get a small usable once only reward
Thank you both for taking the time to read and answer!
Kind regards,
