In your opinion, how is the current state of Battlefield 2042?

I'm curious to know what everyone's opinion is on the current state of Battlefield 2042. I have come across many issues playing the game, and constantly find myself coming back like an abused spouse....

I think the game is enjoyably playable with a lot of minor issues that can feel like death from a million paper cuts.

I think there is a decent variety in how I can enjoy AOW with different specialists/loadouts and I am having fun T1ing different things. Vehicle gameplay can be fun but overall vehicle on vehicle and infantry vs vehicle balance can also be frustrating.

At it's core, it's a stable and fun experience. Getting owned the second you spawn in a vehicle to an incoming IR missile sucks. Getting stuck in a wall and not getting rezzed sucks. Having to run sometimes on conquest sucks. But ultimately these things don't keep me from playing the game still.

    @X505 It's rough, but underneath it all is some promise. The lack of development really shows but hopefully they stick with it, I wouldn't expect much to change until the first content drop though.

    I just wish they'd drop the specialists and take it back to load outs. by all means keep the abilities but let us equip our own gear.

    Also for a future themed warfare game... The tech seems a little dated... I was expecting a bit more in the way of future weaponry and such.. 

    Portal is great though, it just needs lots more content. The bad company Vietnam maps would be great to play again.

      @M4tt_Macabre I like to think of myself as a BF veteran, I put over 300+ hours into every iteration with exception of hardline and bc1.

      I like the specialists. I don't think there is a gameplay advantage to bringing back classes other than asthetic ones. The specialist abilities I think add a lot of fun to the formula.

      I wonder if they brought in a classed based system with no specialists as a portal mode (bf3 classes with 2402 weapons and gadgets restricted to those classes) I doubt it would be more fun than the base game.

        @X505I'm mainly just tired of seeing the same skin over and over because everyone plays angel or wingsuit one haha. I do enjoy the gadgets, I just don't see the need to lock it to an avatar, we didn't need another hero shooter.
