2042 maps are so boring it’s untrue, far too clean and samey
That comparison video is hilarious, they should hang their heads in shame.
Sanitized is a good description. BF V maps have so much detail. They aren't perfect but man, they could not make 7 GOOD maps in 3 years. This is why i have zero faith in Dice. If the visual Fidelity suffers due to the 128 player count -id like to go back to 64 players. I think most of us venting daily here because 2042 should've been a no brainer. A winner. An easy one. Take the best from BF 3,4 and 1, make it a dark and gritty future. Almost Terminator like. Cities torn apart. Ravaged by war with some bad * beats when going into battle. The last stand off between the US and RU. Heck i wouldn't mind the specialists if everything else was great. But it just isn't. You can tell that hourglass for example, seems to be a BR style map. Everything looks like a "play ground" if you know what i mean. Too clean, too boring, nothing is happening. Really the ONLY map i sorta like is Orbital.
But booting up BF 1 and playing man, what a difference in speed, Fidelity and gun play.
Tomorrow, Embark - the OG ex Dice guys will be showing off their first game. Im super excited for it. While not BF, these guys KNOW what sup!
I still believe it was intentional for few reasons (btw, isn't word "few" a funny one, does it mean "a lot" or "a little"?):
- Bigger maps, more players -> performance hit
- New generations do not watch war movies any more, they watch "soap operas" (however they call it these days). Some of us were even in the war. Hell I know how a destroyed building looks like, how the gun sounds, how it feels when a shell drops nearby. MG firing is scary from few kilometers away. Even the small 60mm mortar shell dropping 100m away is SCARY AF not to mention larger guns or Katyusha MRL that eats your soul :D But it's a history for most players now, not a real thing. Our nopads could as well be sanitizing their hands before battle and put on the masks, majority wouldn't care.
The maps in this game stink compared to other BF games. They messed up with this.
By the Gods!
I remember the constant whinging on here about visibility in BFV being caused by 'too much clutter' on maps, now they are being lauded as fine detail?
Well that's the 'community' for you you.....
