An Update on Battlefield 2042 and Welcoming Motive Studio to the Team
Forum Discussion
@UP_LordPlumber Was just about to create a post about this.
It's a real shame as I'd have liked one more season, but I'm looking forwards to the future and what the next game brings.

@ElliotLH Sadly we have to wait for over a year for the next game to be released. And I'm too worried about it.
So many red flags have been plaguing the Battlefield franchise and the gaming industry as a whole that I'm not sure if I want to see further carnage that might come.
SBMM has ruined CoD and I'm positive EA will do the same to BF. That curse has already touched 2042 and I don't like that. On top of EA's new and useless anti-cheat, visual recoil, and other questionable design decisions, I will live in fear until the nest game comes out.

I will be very wary of buying the next BF. Maybe I hyped myself up too much for portal but there was so much potential to be had there that they wasted it. I personally believe if the tem didn't have to play catch up with the state of the game when it was released wr would hqve seen mote content released for portal.
- @UP_LordPlumber I can definitely understand that, and have some concerns too admittedly. Some are the same to ones you've mentioned, like SBMM, but I'm trying to be optimistic.
Probably 2.5 years before next game is out. They aren't going to make BF6 in 18 months
- @RUMPLE9 They already confirmed the next game for 2025 though
They should delay the next battlefield until they have something impressive.
And in the meanwhile do seasons 8, 9, 10. For 2042.
64 players is not enough for the new game, I will probably pass.
If the new game dont have dedicated servers, replays of every match, spectator mode, so I can bann the cheaters manually I will pass too

They have it in GT7 and i think it works well for everyone. Without it, me and friends would not be able to enjoy the game. I get into lobbies with A+ drivers and it is a lonely race going around and around by myself not being able to catch up to anyone.
Same thing the other way around. I create a lobby and an A+ driver joins. He is by himself up there at the front of the pack, even laps some people. He leaves the lobby after one race because of the lack of fun/challenge.
Daily races come in: races are organized by 'driver rating'. The fun and excitement is back.
Can the same thing not be applied to BF?
About the end of BF2042:
"They promised 4 seasons..."
I need more detailed info on that before i make a full price purchase at launch.
If the base game comes agin with so few maps, i would like them to commit to 4 maps per season.
So i know 16 more maps are coming.
Otherwise i will not see value in the product and may just purchase it later at a discounted price.It might sound strange but I am kind of relieved that I will finally be free from the weekly Battlepass OCD once season 7 ends.
Like it has been said above, I come that they will finally eat crow and unlock the full progression in Portal like it was at launch. Nobody cares about what level of T1 mastery others have anymore.

1 GT7 is a racing game where you're in a free-for-all all, competing against I believe up to 19 other players
2 Battlefield 2042 has 128 players and there are many many many many more "stats" to take into account other than "My vroom vroom is faster than yours"
3 Its a team AND squad-based game. So setting up a team and squads in a 128-player match with a similar skill level, especially when you're dealing with players that are in top 1% is impossible. SBMM in 2042 ends up shafting itself and you for that matter. I often play with some dumb potatoes against tryhard vehicle turds because there aren't enough 3.0+ k/d infantry players in this game, so I end up playing against heli tryhards most of the time while my and enemy team is filled with infantry potatoes deluxe.
4 Any FPS game is a casual environment whether you like or not. I shouldn't be punished simply because I managed to get better than other players.

- 1 on 1 shooting as infantry so K/D- vehicle combat so maybe time spent in vehicles
Since so many stats are tracked, i think it is ok to consider these two stats when matchmaking.
Even for the casual gamers, the one on one shooting experience is what matters. If it is frustrating, there is no joy, less time playing the game/ less money spent on cosmetics. Maybe this experience is even more important to casuals! But whatever floats the boat. I am ok without the SBMM too.In GT7 there is also the safety rating that is considered when matchmaking. (If you tend to hit other cars, you get matched against other terrible drivers. Works well. 🙂
