Question for the community :)
What has 2042 done better than past battlefield titles. I say give credit where credit is due and if not well let's hear that too ☺️ Credit to the weapon plus system I think that is a cool innovati...

@SCUBASTEVE120 Weapon and overall infantry balance.
BF3/4/5 had awful gun and infantry balance.
BF3 had M16/AEK meta with other guns being pretty much useless.
BF4 had tap fire for the win meta with each gun feeling exactly the same, be it LMG, AR or SMG.
BF5 having the best gunplay in the franchise still had a putrid balance with overpowered weapons and bipod meta making camping extremely overpowered and anti-fun in general.
BF1 is one exception with decent class-to-class balance, but gunplay is the worst.
2042 has a decent weapon balance, overall gunplay and feel. Each gun class has its neiche in different playstyles.

@UP_LordPlumber Interesting 🤔 I like this reply. I felt BFV had the best overall class balance like each class got the right sets of weapons it played well looked amazing but ttk was off. In BF3 I remember that meta and yes is was God awful but I was able to get over 100 kills with every weapon for the profiency dog tags and there were some batter weapons but overall that was the meta. There were some other good choices imo. M16A3 nightmares 😨
- @SCUBASTEVE120 I didn't even mention the lovely suppression that made it impossible to have 1v1 gunfights in BF3 AND BF4 until they fixed it at some point.
Sure you could've used other guns in BF3 and still be successful, but in terms of "Being the best" M16, M4A1 and AEK were BY FAR the best and easiest weapons to use.
BF5 indeed had decent weapon balance, but it was instantly wiped if there were squads of MMG campers all over the place with laser accuracy and no recoil in every dark corner of a map.- @UP_LordPlumber I thought suppression was cool. And btw they nerfed the mmgs at some point cause the bipod is apparently "broken" and mmg have a ton of recoil. Even the slower firing ones have quite a bit of recoil. Bf1 was worse with the whole m1917 and lewis gun bipod laser beam.
- @SCUBASTEVE120 Don't forget the A10 shotgun :D
