Re: Is Battlefield 2042 worth it now?
@selmon89 Its hard to speak objectively when everyone is looking for certain experiences from the game. I have over 1000 hours with vast experience in nearly each corner of the game. If you want something more specific, feel free to ask.
First - your main concerns - There are pretty much 0 hackers around the EU area (Might differ from region to region). In my 1000+ hours, I've seen 1 or 2 obvious cheaters, thats it.
The bugs are fairly few and far between as of now. Most of them have been nicely fixed, one of the few things Dice did very well with 2042. As of now there are a few bugs with flag icons sometimes not appearing.
Littlebird (Small scout helicopter) has this weird physics where it flips on its head if you fly too close to the ground. Also if you get hit by the rocket, there is a 50/50 chance your character will die and the helicopter will land for the enemy team to take.
That's about it for the major bugs that you might encounter in the game.
The overall game feels quite good to play. There is some issues with the gun balance with some weapons being stupidly good while others are semi-decent. But most weapons are viable and fun to use.
Jets are lackluster and don't have any considerable impact on the battlefield. Same can be said about tanks. Some can be deadly in the right hands. But main MBTs are meh at best.
Helicopters? Oh boy. Those things can be an absolute menace. The aforementioned Littlebird can single-handedly control the entire game. An experienced pilot is nearly impossible to shoot down while he farms you into oblivion (Talking from experience with over 6000 kills on this thing)
The same goes for specialists. Some are clearly better than others at a specific task. But by playing around you can find what's best for you. There are viable options in each class.
If you can get the game for 20ish euros, its a good deal.
