Re: So who is the BF2042 target demographic?

@Stew360Why do you keep comparing 2042 with a more than 10 years old version of BF (BF3) instead with its direct predecessor BF5?

Think the writing was on the wall with BFV. It was there that the break with traditional format begun, although BF1 (bless it) pulled it out of the comtemporary /near future milsim mould that BF3/4 established.

Remember the cyber punky feel to the initial BFV promotions, elite skins behind a boin paywall and the the firestorm BR? This has ben an itch they have wanted to scratch for a long time now.

BF4 wasn't milsim. It was engaging to play for a start.

Well no version of BF has been a true milsim really has it, not like some out there, but it was at the milsim end of the popular market..
Which BF title do you think was closest to a milsim then, if any?

i also have been finding it really hard to get a game and when i did they stuck me in a server with players that had latency over 477 but went to over 519+ it lagged so much when i moved the turret it stayed in same place for 4 seconds then moved .things seem to be getting worse not better.
i wish they would sort things out and not just minor bug fixes.
ive added the screen shoot as proof of latency issue when they matchmake.
