Re: Massively disappointed with BF 2042
Yeah... I'm so tired of having to cancel matchmaking (bound to '-' key for me cos I use it THAT much) to back out of the SAME MAP I JUST PLAYED 10 times in a row... over and over and over and over random random random... DICE do you realise THIS will kill your game by forcing us to join maps at random, esp ones on their last legs...
I get you tried to simplify it for the fortnite kiddies.. but give me strength, ALLOW US TO CHOOSE WHICH MAP WE WANT TO PLAY fgs!! Since the 19th I never got play orbital until last night, it simply NEVER came up on conquest AOW, I just got 4 maps over and over (mostly breakaway and manifest), how do you THINK this is fun?
Playing the same map over and over CAN BE FINE if it's a great map and YOU ARE IN CHARGE of choosing that, I was part of a BF4 group that had its own server with nothing but golmud railway conquest 24/7... but it was a great map for what we liked... most of the 2042 maps are NOT.
As it's turned out... weirdly, ORBITAL is one of the better maps in 2042 (SHOCK!) even with its flaws, yet how can I load up BF2042 on a friday night to play this map but have no way to choose it? even cancelling match making doesn't guarantee it'll come up and it's a MASSIVE TIME WASTE for people with lives to live... last night I cancelled 20 times in a row to see what happened, hoping for orbital, I just kept getting hourglass over and over (one of the worst maps), then kalidescope I think.. in the end I gave up and went to bed.. do you THINK that is going to serve you well over the game's life? People wanting to play but can't because of your stupid dumbing down...
A server browser would be best, inc the old 'favourites' and filters... like BF4.. BUT if you want to keep it simple AT LEAST let us stipulate the map choice.. AND please please put map rotation back in (removing the drawn out cut scenes before/after so you get in FAST instead of all that faffing around). I wait ages already cos I'm on NVME SSD for other players to load in (not PS5 obv), then have to wait for cutscene 1,2.. then countdown (which is far too long) then ... action? no... CUTSCENE... then map intro cutscene... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh STOP IT DICE!!! Stop treating us like children/idiots. Give us the choice, get us INTO THE MAP ASAP. We do NOT need this sugar coating, we get it.. we saw it first time... it's so depressing.
Also we need 64 player servers, that is SO obvious... 128 players is just a chaotic meat grinder when you FINALLY get to a point of interest... lucky to get one kill before being killed by 6 people firing at you at once.
