I bought the game yesterday and I already regret my purchase decision, even after multiple discounts I feel being ripped off. At least BF4 was crashing constantly for the first 3 months.
"Legacy Features"
- No server browser so players CAN NOT play in favorite servers, with custom modes, preferable maps, rules, hang out with the same people, no community dedicated servers,
- No statistics page,
- No platoons, game tags, no functional clan-based options,
- Heavily Limited game-modes that seem to be TEMPORARY,
- No functional scoreboard showing players with their team-faction side, class-role, scoring, ping, dead/alive status, and other useful info,
- Limited Squad Management, literally there is no way to create a squad live in-game, not to mention to manage Your Squad,
- No VoIP in HZ only contributes to failure,
- No, Ping, latency indicators,
- The incomprehensible Level Design that is not optimized for 64 players not to mention 128, vast open spaces with no cover, chokepoint is an alien, undiscovered idea in BF2042,
- The vehicular battle is terrible with hovercrafts everywhere, no 4 seat ground vehicles at the beginning of the round except for tanks?!
- Lack of minimap customization - zooming in/out is not even available by pressing "N",
- Spawning on other players in this game is terrible, impossible to zoom in/out either to see who am I spawning at right now,
- No unlocks for weapon attachments in Portal, no meaningful progression or unlocks in the long run in Portal,
- Only 6 refurbished maps in Portal,
- Only 7 maps in total in core 2042,
- The balance in the game is yet to come.
- The amount of weapons is staggering in the opposite way,
No optimization on PC (I constantly stutter with R9 3900X 16GB ram 3600mhz and RTX20708GB Ventus at 2560x1080 UWHD, low settings.
- No additional points for sniping at the range, headshots, no bonuses at all for team play.
The game designers still don`t have a clue about their role. The management only copies solutions from other titles by throwing randomly everything in except for functioning core gameplay mechanics bravely named as "legacy features". Expecting at the end of the day for everything to magically work is called wishful thinking. The game is more buggy and not everything works as intended. Rule number 1 - everyone`s Battlefield is no one's game.
Devs say that the standard classes scheme was brought back but what`s actually in the game is still a half-measure beauty makeup.
There are so many unpolished aspects of the game that are worth pointing out, but I`m simply done, for now, I think that I`m enough "ahead of schedule" in being critical. Mouse input is completely broken in 2042. Players are glitching and clipping through walls. The game tends to crash to the desktop or become unresponsive.
The only for the game factor might be gloomy skins, trans-Atlantic, pacifistic specialists represented by one-liners at the end of the game.
Is it even possible to reset plus menu attachments?
If someone plans on tormenting himself then go ahead but don`t involve Your friends in this.
Still, surprised that the game is dying?
