My issues with 2042
I'm on PS5 for reference 1. No actual scoreboard with everyone in the server, ping, Kills & deaths, rank & score 2. Lack of guns, vehicles and attachments, just too much to list here but this gam...
Ok now that I've had the game(PS5/PS4 bundle) and have had a chance to play this game for a few days here are my updated thoughts.
Yes you can have fun playing this game but IMHO it feels more fun playing the PS4 version on PS5 than it does playing the PS5 version on PS5, hear me out. Unless you want to get into a vehicle and farm kills in a 128 player server you feel like you aren't really doing much on PS5, the maps are so large on the PS5 version and there is very little cover in between objectives so for the most part you just hang around a couple of objectives hoping not to get killed by said vehicles, it feels very blah to me. And many of the issues that were there at the launch are still there now. I was in a 1200+ ticket all out war conquest server on PS5 128 players and I went like 10k 8d the entire round on foot and it felt like I had to use a dmr the whole game to be competitive, got killed by vehicles at least 5 of those 8 deaths lol.
No end of round scoreboard so if you checked the in game mini scoreboard close to the end of the round you might know your KD info but otherwise it just feels unsatisfying at the end of the round and how do you know if what you are doing is making you better or worse?
Still lack of guns and no way to go into your guns menu unless you physically get into a game feels unfinished
Still no way to check your stats
Still no server browser
Still no way to switch teams, and while you can change squads you can't actually pick your squad or create your own new squad
no commander mode whatever I'm over it but sucks that it was left out for those that like that
still no spectator mode
not sure about aim assist I think they mentioned they modified it, it feels fine to me now.
PS5 controls still aren't good for gunplay or vehicles IMHO, the snap to 3rd person view is also terrible in transport vehicles. Attack heli is just stupid the controls for it are bad and switching back and forth to the gunner seat really is the meta here...poorly done.
weapon bloom and hit reg appears to be fixed for me and they are making additional individual weapon tweaks now.
I haven't had any revive issues
I still think the xp overall needs to be tweaked from kills to supplying meds and ammo to vehicle damage needs an overhaul but then again with no scoreboard nobody knows really how much lol
Still no marksman bonus
Still no damage reported when you damage a vehicle.
Ok so you can still climb walls but they are definitely weaker, shoot I blew up going over a rock today(terminated) WTF
audio is getting better with the newest patch, I'm sure there is still work to be done but it doesn't feel nearly as bad as it did.
Still would like to see some resupply stations around these huge maps
I still don't think there is a way to grab health/ammo off of guys, correct me if I'm wrong.
They fixed most of the issues when you are downed, you can now tell good guy from bad, mark things, etc. However the motion when down is hyper accellerated you can do a 360* in less than a second which feels too light, should be more like BFV in that regard IMHO
Still not a fan of the specialist system, just over complicates the crap out of things having to choose out of 10 different guys at the beginning of each round, still not a fan. The gadgets are cool but the specialists weren't needed to implement that.
Still no peaking around corners
Still no squad chat which I think really needs to be HIGH on their priority list.
UI customization still needs work, I would definitely like to lighten the objective opacity when aimed down sight
Still no sniper 0ing
Portal although a good idea there are like 100 open portal servers and theres literally like 2 of them full lol, thats with ps5 crossplay on. If I turn off crossplay there were like 10 servers all of them had like 1 person in them. I prefer to play with cross play off to keep out any potential PC cheats so if thats the case there really needs to be more OFFICIAL portal servers and put the XP back in the game even if AI kills only get you like 1 or 5xp or something extremely low to make AI farming servers less desirable.
I haven't played hazardzone and to be honest without voip what is the point? Not my cup of tea anyway, maybe once they convert it to a true battle royal and it goes free to play I'll try it.
So to wrap it up right now I think the 64 person servers using the PS4 copy on PS5 is the way to go, just my opinion. Gameplay is alot more fun for me.
After a few updates I am really enjoying this game on the PS4 slim. Honestly I love the big maps and I like to travel in vehicles between flags and capture points where there’s more infantry playing. It breaks it up nicely. This way I can play both ways. I am satisfied with everything else, if they would bring back voice chat it would be actually perfect. Hazard zone will pretty much die without voice chat for sure.
I am usually in the top third of the scoreboard but doesn’t bother me that we don’t have one personally. But I am not against it. I can see how the larger maps are too big on PS five probably.
it is a different game from battlefield 3/4 or battlefield five but that’s OK. I don’t want to play the same game. If I want to, I can go back to those. The game is in a very playable state for me looking forward for more updates. VOICE CHAT PLEASE!!!!!
