Game is so dumbed down. There is 0 enjoyment
I have given this game around 200 hours and ive been a big fan of earlier games. Especially Battlefield 2 and 3. This modern version of a war-game is so dumbed down, there is so much design flaws...

@Stew360time to loose that foil hat.
Edit: look at 30day loss in %. And if steam really refunds, ouch.

Here ill post the Lows of both games wait for it friend Player peak wich mean concurents players playing at the same time is irrevelant .. BFV has HUGE spikes for not long then dips a lots in the low 2000 while 2042 is still stable
- @Stew360 No don't waste ur time. Could really care less. Game is not doing fine, period.
- @Stew360 I cared, so 5,5k vs 2,5k lows, really think that's healthy chart for 2 months old game vs 3 years?

LOL planetside 2 have about 1000 to 3000 players on steam and its very alive and receive constant updates .. Insurgency sandstorm is having about 1000 to 3000 concurent players and is doing fine ..
Of course 2042 does not bring APEX legends numbers or Warzone or Fortnite numbers .. But BF isnt a enjoyyable game to watch peoples play as a stream , Battle royal games are the " gold standard " for streamers and the type of game that attract peoples the most .. Also colorfull games with silly outfits and dances .. Because they can get viewership from childs and so on ..
For being 2 months after a rough launch the game is doing fine .. And if the devs still keep growing the game . adding new features , bug fixing , improoving performances etc.. the game will regrow ..
Apex legends as been in a very low playerbase era at some point after a very strong and polish start ... they lost 90% of their players for a time and then look where it is now ? Its one of the most played game on steam not even counting consoles and origin ...As long as 2042 dont drop into Sub 1000 it would be fine
@Man_iLoveFishing
For a playable game that was sold 10$ vs another on sale at 50$ and one having insanely high Hardware and ram speed requirement and the other can almost run on a potatoe then yes its pretty fineAlso its the average troughout the day that matter and BF2042 as a more stable playerbase
- @Stew360 And everything is based on other games. Apex is competitive game... And you said, constant updates. Bf has none of these. But literally we can argue all day long. I just don't care. If I still can't play the game cause of bugs and on top of that 100 hours really killed fast gaming hype cause of poor content and waay too repetitive, I'm sure many that have same issues don't play.
@Stew360You are probably new to battlefield games, 2042 is for sure worst one they made till now from 2002.
On image you show us here you can see 100k as all time peak for bf2042, thats only cause noone expected that it will be one more fail in a row (bf1 and bf5 were also fails) so ppl like me bought it in good faith and could not imagine 3rd fail in a row. In few weeks you will see that bf5 has more players per day.
I have some +50 friends on bf withing Origin, some 10 of us bought bf2042 and noone plays it any more we are all back on bf4 and bf5 making jokes about bf2042 so that our other friends dont throw $ like we did.- @Man_iLoveFishing This is beyond bugs, this does not feel as battlefield game any more....this game only some "noobs" can play, people who never had previous bf games
Idk how is it possible that statistics of BF2042 (from Steam) are in red and other titles actually are in green? Perhaps it's a completely irrelevant factor also? I`m not going into numbers because this might be too hard for some to process.
Is it because:
1. Everyone talks about BF2042 (only in superlatives).
2. The game is so LOVED and players slowly switch to older titles to see what`s all the fuzz about or are being tired and need a break from 2k42.
3. It`s a completely random event, not even sponsored by EArlyAccess™?
Which one is it then?
Or perhaps the game is a travesty as BF, one simple answer. Everyone is wearing nostalgia glasses, right.
