Re: Battlefield 2042 Delayed - New Release Date (November 19)

A developer once told me that each extra week to polish a game pre-launch was worth 4 weeks afterwards patching.

If it's not ready it's not ready and being honest about that improves the likelihood of a quality launch.

I'm not really seeing this as bad news, I'll just be doing something else. 🙂

    That's sad to hear but as long as the game releases with less issues then, i'm all in. 🙌

    Greets,

    Be interesting to know if it's polish and finishing touches that are needed or something major. Balancing pc and console cross play can't be easy, with trying to optimize for both. Or have sone of the mechanics and design decisions gone down like a lead balloon or didnt work in the closed alpha.

    We all can agree that more time is better for the game. More issues/bugs can be fixed so we can have smooth launch and we can play without any serious issues. 🙂

    Im super excited for Beta and for the BF2042 release.

    Ok I can live with only a month delay.

    Apparently the reason for the delay is because of their COVID restrictions.

    I knew it.

  • Was expecting a delay so not too fussed. Reason for it feels dubious to me though.

    No problem for me, I love Battlefield and just hope this will be released in the best way possible. In the meantime I will have more time to play other games like New World 😉

  • Question is. Is 4 weeks enough or is it going to slip to 2022 or launch in a mess and hope they can fix it later.

    This has to be  EA pushing for them Xmas sales.

    But yeah releasing 2 weeks after CoD Vanguard, the week of revamp Warzone and 2 weeks before F2P Halo... Amazing timing from EA 🙂
