For all the people hating on 2042 but love BF 3 & 4.

Point being: A lot of people hated BF3 & 4 when first release but now people say they are great games.  I see alot of the same hate going around for 2042.  

https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/280rhs/bf4_why_does_everyone_hate_this_game/

Some excerpts:

"It was rushed through development and upon release was hardly functional as a game. It took DICE months to fix most of the glaring issues/bugs with the game that could've been prevented had the game been properly tested and quality-assured with some more time prior to release."

"IMHO BF4 is a bad game. They rushed development, got it barely functional from a technical perspective and didn't have time to play test it properly"

But at launch it ran into a number of problems, most notably in multiplayer, with many unable to play. The problem was so bad that in December 2013 DICE said it had placed all of its expansions and "future projects" on the backburner while it put all hands on deck to focus on sorting out the mess.

Useless commorose

Suppression

Game only having four classes

3d spotting

lack of two seater jets

lack of commander mode

movement not feeling as clunky as BF2 therefore the game was trying to mimic CoD

VoIP not being a feature at all on PC

destruction being crap compared to BC2

game feeling too casual because of health regen

  • @CantGetRight Yes this cycle does tend to recur, however part of what we're seeing is DICE used massive amounts of BF3 and BF4 fan service in the 2042 marketing getting fans of BF3/4 really excited that Battlefield will play like Battlefield again only to get a game that plays nothing like BF3/4 outside of fan made Portal experiences. Those guys are pretty disappointed.

     The core of 2042 is bad and that's not fixable. If not for Portal I would have gotten a refund as 2042 is easily one of the worst games I've ever played.
