Everything wrong with BF2042 atm
I want to talk about and summarize what affects my BF2042 experience in a negative way at the moment.
Let's start with bugs:
Invisibility glitch -> You suddenly turn invisible (tho not invincible) for enemies and teammates. A random event will turn you visible again, while invisible enemies can still see your name and shoot you if they're close. I think this one is fairly game breaking and should be fixed asap.
The "no-forced-spawn" bug -> This one lets you stay in the spawnscreen instead of being forced to spawn at the start of the match. Imo this "bug" should stay and occur every single time because who likes forced spawns??
The "quake-run" bug -> When this bug happens your weapon has no animation when running, it looks like quake. It's been in the game since launch and rarely happens after respawn/revive
And a few visual bugs in the menu:
- Added BP points are sometimes not instantly affecting the BP in the end-of-round screen
- The "free" tiers have a white bar instead of a green "free" sign above/below them
- The BSV-M icon is glitched when combined with the maul hybrid scope
Now onto the big big problems, let's start with balance:
The vehicle balance is off and it doesn't work.
A Bolte, with it's now heavily nerfed 30mm canon, is a "heavy vehicle", people can decide between that and a main-battle-tank. Why? Either buff the Bolte or separate it from MBTs.
The air vehicles are broken: Stealth helis and Hinds are OP and the jets are still useless and a pain to fly
Tanks lack ANY counter to helis and rockets
The 30mm on the MAV is so bad, it gives me kolibri flashbacks. It's supposed to be the main gun of that vehicle.
Jet and Nightbird miniguns should be more accurate and the rocketpods for the Nightbird should be removed.
The goal should be to create a more vehicle v. vehicle battle and avoid easy infantry farming.
Sundance, her scatter grenades need to go, they don't make any sense just as the anti-armor nades they just exist because Dice thought a wingsuit wouldn't be enough, let her have something but not infinite grenades that are not balanced at all. There's no need for a new Metro/Locker map if we have Sundance + grenade belt.
Liz, either nerf the rockets or the amount she spawns with, because the spam is just too much at times, especially for vehicles.
Other Feedback:
Change the attachment menu, it's a very confusing plus-menu but you can't remove any attachments you already put on, you can change them but you can't remove anything. It's also quite hard to understand which attachments you'll spawn with, especially for new players. At least highlight the ones the weapon will spawn with.
Add a new soundtrack, even if it's just the old ones, most people dislike the 2042 music and it actively makes your experience worse if you have music turned on.
Rework Hourglass (and remove it from the rotation for now) after Renewal
Feedback that should be known already:
- Change the specialist system
- Add way more content (portal and aow)
- Add a server browser for aow
- Improve the PC performance
This is just my opinion obviously and I'm open for any discussion.
