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. At times i feel like im playing a random free to play shooter that anyone can pickup and do well in mather of hours.

The Jet´s and Heli´s are dumbed down to the point where even I that never flew Jets in earlier games can spawn in one and easily hit 15-20 vehicles destroyed each game.
Spawning in littlebird is pretty much +15 kills to your current stats at least before you get shot down. Ive never even flew choppers in earlier games.


The DRX needs to be nerfed. I can fully understand there are people enjoying to sit in a bush the whole game and sniping. But why do we have a 1-shot sniper in game?
DRX may have slow rate of fire, but has almost none bullet drop and fastest bullets.

The overall design of the weapons is just silly. The only two light machine guns in the game have some of the lowest recoil. At same time there is 0,5 second delay when you actually start firing the gun. The dumbest trade-off ever. Surely there must be better way to balance the weapons

Boris turret might be the stupidest thing ever. Now this aint a huge problem since usually Boris players usually are the worst players on the battlefield skillwise and are usually found in obivous corners sitting with a PKP.
Though there is a huge problem having an all black turret when there is night time on the maps. The turret spots you long before you can see it or react. It can see through bushes and nothing tilts me more than getting killed by a Boris player sitting with his turret in a bush on a dark map. I mean what is the point?

Drone & C5 . Dont know what to say. Remember in previous games when C4 + Jeep was banned from most servers? Who at dice thought it would be a good idea to take out vehicles with a drone with 0 risk involved?
Sundancer might as well lore-wise be changed to some kind of vehicle killer. Since flying to a vehicle and landing without making a sound and C5 any vehicle is no problem at all since they decided to make her stealthy. 


This game feels so much like the call of duty franchise. Designed for new players with TTK so low anyone can pick up the game straight away and do okay. Little to no learning curve. There are no weapons to unlock that will change your gameplay since most of them act, feel the same and have the same attachments. Im so dissapointed

    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.

  • @Stew360Yeah they are personal oppinions. As are yours. The thing is though if you scroll through the reviews of the game, and the huge amount of players dropping out each week. You can easily figure out that the amount of people disliking the game for various reason is much does extend by far the amount of people that like the game.
    And those that do like the game probably have not been a fan of the earlier franchise.

    You are completely missing the point anyway. Battlefield V is a 4 year old game. Battlefield 2042 is supposed to be next gen, AAA developed game. And currently 08:30 CET there are more people playing Battlefield V on steam than 2042. 

    One of the most negative reviewed games in history on steam.
    I rest my case.

  • @Stew360 you really comparing CS numbers with Battlefield? Bro CSGO is the MOST played game on Steam, only Dota 2 can challenge it sometimes. CS1.6 is ALSO having more players than all BF-s combined in rush hours. Oh, and that game is 20 years old, and still has OFFICIAL servers. How about BF4? Only 7 years old, and support completely stopped, it only has private servers. What's your point?
