I Like specialist core design but crocodile dundee Skins is Ridiculous inBF2042

There is at least millions of players still playing about 3 days a week for few hours as most peoples do .. the numbers are pretty clear there is still millions total players playing .. Concurent numbers on steam are still good and are stable enough across 24 hours ..

Most player play from 1 to 3 hours sessions and about 3 days out of a 7day week .. So Steamcharts is concurents players wich mean players connected at the exact same time ..

When a game is released all the time zones play at the same time even if its 5am 1 pm etc.. for them so the " concurents players " of a launch game isnt revelant When the game is no longer totally new numbers plummet easily by 75 to 95 % from the launch concurents ... New World amazon MMO had a launch of nearly a million player concurents then is sitting about 60k its still pretty good destiny 2 had millions + players on PC individual active players and was then sitting about 60k to 100k And destiny is a grind intensive game wich draw lots of players to connect more often to do daily etc.. even if they play for few minutes

New world still have millions of active players , Battlefield 2042 still have over 500k to 800k individuals players still playing on steam .. So when you count origin , Epicgame store , Ps5 , Xbox SS SX , Xbone and Ps4 there is for sure 2 millions individuals player still actively playing the game ..

And number will eventually grow if DICE can make any new contents to get peoples attention and if they squash performances issues or at least make it more efficient for many type of hardware on PC at least many disgrunted peoples are like that primarely because they cant run the game without insane stutter , Low FPS etc.. so yeah i can understand their frustration ..

But if you dont have at least a 6 core cpu with 3200mhz + cl16 Ram this game will run like crap , Also enabling DX12 and disabling Weapons DOF help a lots to get rid of the stutter and janky performances at least it did for me and few peoples i know had issues

The problem is , it start with a cowboy hats .. And we end up like warzone with carnival vibrant pink BS outfit and Neo color and Neon flashy outfits and it become a total joke to look at .. Warzone when based off MW was somewhat OK at first then they started adding few silly thing then more then more and more and now the game is a total joke and almost a fornite game in term of skins and all

@Kockar_HR
The game has some heavy optimisation work done already for a 128 players dozens of vehicles , dynamic weather system .. Other devs tried this and brough the game to its knees and were barely able to make it run at 10 fps ..

Thats said they could certainly down the line optimise the engine to get more FPS while retaining the graphical quality . But many PC configuration indeed suffer from poor engine optimisation for their specific specs wich if it could be adressed , would bring a wider range of players into the game on PC .

But i wont say DICE have not achieve something truely insane already because they did but it aint perfect yet

as for cosmetics i want military style or bad * even semi futuristic skins as long as they remain grounded and not silly etc..

@Trokey66 I just checked on Xbox and Rush modes seem pretty active. Just seems hit and miss though.

@Stew360 I dissagree, classes has allways been the core of Battlefield infantry gameplay. It creates the classic rock/paper/scissors gameplay and balancing. Even Dice´s promotional materials for previous games mentions this.

That´s what previous battlefield games great infantry gameplay comes from that you speak of and 2042 has none of that.

@Stew360 The loss of 90% of the player base says you are wrong. Any skin other than headgear or backpack means you lose the military issued uniform and break the lore. Skins and heroes (goofy ones at that) have NO place in BF. Selling head gear, faces, hair styles, gloves, backpacks, weapon decals and ornaments could net EA some money without killing BFs legacy. Please, stop making it less of a problem then it is.

@Stew360 Millions still playing you say? So 2042 "sold" about 4,2 million copies, wich includes refunds and 10 hour trials via EA play and Gamepass.
Saying millions are still playing are a bit naive with and 90% dropp on Steam, and I can´t find a game on Xbox series X without crossplay on. And with crossplay on I still have to wait minutes to be dropped into a game.

Heck even the creators of cheats are stoping selling cheats for this game because of teh bad state of the game causing cheats to not work and because the game is dying.

@Stew360 Stew, you have to realize the specialists were designed with this silly skins in mind right?

You support the specialists you support the silly skins.

Lord knows why they changed from the BFV cosmetic system, I honestly loved that game
