Re: Free Battlepass for life of 2042

@Twordy @DeepSixxxxThe player base is last to be blamed for the state of the game. Battlefield used to be all about classes and division of equipment with battle roles.

You see, Battlefield doesn`t offer a highly competitive game mode. Something that would keep the audience in emotional suspense.

---------------------

All valid points, I agree...players last to blame, but not blameless. I'm guessing players get emotionally attached to video game simulations, as a means to escape real life (simulation?). Thus emotions run high when expectations are not met, to the point where it becomes life altering for many players. Unlike a movie where two people spend $60 bucks and yet if the movie is trash, nobody seems to ask the movie studio for a refund. Emotional attachment is not there in the movie entertainment biz like the video game entertainment biz, perhaps because it is not life altering like a failing franchise that a person has been playing from say age 12 to age 22, that gives them an escape from base reality and a way to de-stress from the self-inflicted complexities of modern life while experiencing some social tribalism...

And your game list is correct, yet I'd have to say Halo currently is unplayable until the anti-cheat is implemented as two nights ago I just watched Lucid on Twitch getting wall hacked and aim-bot killed every other game, and he would even go back and show the viewers the replays and it was sad and hilarious that players pay real money for these mods so they can move their name up a virtual leader board to impress friends??? BF 2042 might get the same wave of cheaters once players get what they want, K/D ratios and leaderboards...so enjoy the game before then...HA

    @DeepSixxxxI may go on and on with the list. Each of the games mentioned offers some form of online service with free-to-play elements except for Escape from Tarkov.

    Perhaps at some level, I might be emotionally attached to BF as a series.
    I am sure that BF2042 is not a full-fledged ready-for-launch product. The game has been advertised as a complete experience on many levels. Instead, the new BF feels like a concept project with unpolished mechanics. I cannot find with mates in the final game any "promised legacy experience" shown in trailers and mentioned in early statements. The only phrase I heard coming from my mates - "buddy, it is not a good Battlefield" I should probably stop at this point and never come back to BF2042. It is such a shame to see the BF series facing the possibility of ceasing to exist except for the mobile version.

    Battlefield used to be about 5 to 12 guys sitting in Ventrilo or Teamspeak waiting to rock in the game. The new BF iteration is primarily a solo experience.

    @Twordy if you are enjoying the game why are you letting people talk you out of playing it?

    @Psubond I am enjoying the series as a whole. The latest BF is fun on its own but broken on many levels. There is a 70-90% (based on the reviews, current player numbers, and my experience) probability that anyone who spends the money now for the game will be greatly disappointed. I strongly encourage anyone to wait for the updates. I would rather wait to see how the situation unfolds.
