How do you play BF2042 and what would make the game better for you?

Mostly play Boris both defending and taking an objective. Enjoy the Bolte as well and play MaKay some as a snipe.

Mostly optimizing is what the game needs at this point. Not sure about anyone else but rarely do I experience any bugs. Perhaps the sentry gun exploding with out apparent cause but that’s about it.

idk other than speeding up lock on I feel the sentry is ok. It fairly easy to take out currently. As for shields I have no need for them unless another class sets them out. I prefer mobility to out maneuver vehicles and infantry.

Brains over brawn if you will 😉

How do I play BF2042?  ....only Portal right now.  At the moment, very little about the changes they've made to the rest of the game is enjoyable for me or my friends.  ....much less so in Hazard Zone. There is simply too many things to list which have already been discussed ad nauseum in this forums and elsewhere about what the gameplay is lacking.

As far as Portal is concerned though, more updated classic maps from BF3, 1942 and BC2 including more assets from said games.  The inclusion of other past favorite titles / assets in the BF series would also be welcomed.  More options as well like the ability to randomize maps from your list, more specific HUD and marking options, etc.

....and full progression needs to be brought back!  Cap it by the minute like XP if necessary but it needs to be brought back at some level.

I play Casper and Breakthrough mostly.  There's a lot that would help make the game better, but most of the more important ones are game overall.  For instance, if I see an enemy, only his head, and I hit him, how is it not a headshot?  My head, OTOH, basically is from my knees to the top of my head.

But, my biggest gripe about this game right now (other than dumb players which is out of the Devs hands) is controls.  All of them.  I've never played a FPS where I've questioned the controls as much as this one.  I don't want to fight with opening that door.  Hit E (cuz I'm PC) and that door better open.  Most of the times it does not.  Hit space to deploy the parachute?  If I'm lucky.  I'm cutting it close because I don't want to be a sitting duck gliding around like that but then it had better be responsive when I need to cut it close.  Not good enough.  All of the controls feel unresponsive.

But wait, there's more.  Spawning.  I don't know what's happening here, but I didn't click on the helicopter to spawn, I clicked on B1, which took a while because I didn't want to spawn on my squadmates this time, but their boxes were so large that actually clicking on B1 took a bit.  But this time (and many others) I'm spawning in places I most certainly did NOT click on and TBH, I had no idea where I was for a second.

And then there's loadouts.  We've experienced the blank loadout where there's nothing selectable at all, but I just got out of a game where none of the loadouts were what I had already used.  Completely different, maybe even defaulted.  I'm not sure.

I bring this stuff up because this is the BASIC stuff (except the headshot thing).  Controls are the core of FPS and even this is done poorly.  I feel like a HPB again which will tell you how long I've been playing FPS.  Fixing this is a start.  There's more but all of that is meaningless until these fundamental issues are addressed.

How do I play it? 

I don't.

EA will get me back if:

1: They scrap the specialists and restore the traditional classes.

2: The tweak the maps with less open spaces, and not to require the specialists to get around.

3: They restore full progression in Solo play,

4: Way more content

5: Partial or full refunds for everyone
