Re: Do you still have hope ?

The only hope is for the franchise to be picked up by another studio or for the entire IP to be acquired by another company.

For 2042, come on. It's already dead and has been for several months. There is not enough time to correct all the things to make this thing playable with replayability. A new map will be fun for a week or two, then what? Also, how many times would you get to play the new map using MM? You would be lucky to get it 1 in 8 matches if they only added a single map. Sometimes it takes me 12-15 rounds to hit every map once and that is very lucky. 


They would have to address all the current concerns, offer several new maps, bring back several classics into AOW, add at least 2-3 new weapons per class, some new gadgets, new vehicles, and a fairly robust progression system. That is an entirely new game and it took them 2+ years to deliver what we got.

    You shouldn't be so ungrateful, without MM you wouldn't have been able to play Hourglass 5 times in a row. 😬

  • my only hope is that who ever made the decisions for 2042 ( especially the super hero specialist system ) are not there for the next BF game.

    but as far as 2042 goes?

    put a fork in it

    in a word; no

    i haven't played 2042 in a week.  i'm @ about 495 hours last time i looked.  idk if i will go back.  seriously thinking about going back to play Hunter:  Call of the wild.  i haven't played any of the expansions since silver ridge peaks so i have plenty of content waiting for me.

    @Psubond wow almost 500 hours? You are a seriously dedicated player. I thought I had a lot of time in the 300's. What rank are you S50-60ish? I would love for you to post a new thread with your top 5 things to fix that would make you keep playing or start playing again. We can't keep bleeding dedicated players.

    After playing BF 1 and 5 again, no chance in hell that they will turn this around. Both of these games make 2042 look like a last last gen game. And judging from the player count, 2042 is dying a slow and painful death. Dice reaction time is too slow to save it but worse, trust in Dice is forever destroyed. Never ever will i buy another game from them.

    @Buzzfunk the 2177 current players would like a word with you!

    I am waiting for the weekly average to fall below 2042. That will be a symbolic point in this game's legacy.

    My hope will live or die depending on how they will handle BF2042 from now on.

    If they manage to fix it by the time it is one year old, then we are back on where we were before BF2042 was released last year (aka the game will get its true release like BFV did a year alter).

    If they Anthem it, then the BF series is going to die from breach of trust.

    Currently I am still having enough fun in BF2042 with my platoon. It is up to DICE to make it more fun for me.

    I need them to do something to give me hope.   All ea/dice have shown me is at best incompetence and at worst an apathetic approach to the game

    @Psubond 

    I really feel like it is apathy at this point. The lack of any meaningful communication is proof of that.

    Absolutely agree.  DICE as we knew it is GONE.  We need another studio who actually cares about the future of the franchise to take it over.
