In the next updates, BF2042 devs must make the game stable for PC users. Players are still crashing back to the desktop.
I would deeply appreciate the statistics page, VoIP, CLASSIC scoreboard, Squad Management - such changes won`t turn the tide of the abysmal launch.
I prize Specialists in Conquest as much as in TDM, even I see no point for Classes in TDM in a similar fashion as in Gun Master. I have expected a highly tactical arcade shooter in Conquest. Instead of the militaristic feel to the game, the atmosphere of the circus is strong. Factions have been stripped of climate in the same manner as Conquest from classes.
Release finally more maps and more content to finally keep me interested. The lobby will never be on par with rental servers run by the communities in CQ / BT / RUSH and smaller gun-to-gun games. Bots in strictly PvP experience is one of the major nails to the BFs coffin as a franchise in my solely biased opinion.
If the conquest falls, then the entire mediocre game falls. There are enough "hero" shooter games on the market and I never asked for Battlefield to become one.
I feel truly happy for those who enjoy their gold / ultimate editions with continuously postponed content. The full game after a year since launch will be like 60 bucks or less without more content and bug fixes.
Specialists with one-liners really don`t add anything to the gaming experience without their affiliation to factions. No matter what vision is being served by the devs, won`t suddenly erase the past 20-year experience with the franchise. BF2042 is a flop gameplay-wise and a marketing success at the same time. 8 million copies sold, concurrent 4500 players on steam, and the numbers will continue to spiral down.
