Season 7 is officially the last season for BF2042
An Update on Battlefield 2042 and Welcoming Motive Studio to the Team
Forum Discussion
@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.

Hey, just curious how is SBMM bad?
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.
So instead of making content for a season 8, they added a visual recoil no one asked for. I am disappointed they are stopping now. I figured 8 would be the final and come this fall. To go 1.5 years without anything isn't ideal. Player numbers are going to drop more now and why play this game when you have nothing to look forward too. I mean even COD doesn't do that before the next game drops. You get a season right till the end. I think also having all those studios working on this game could end up not working in our favor.
I just don't have a good feeling about this. I never would have bought anything extra if I knew they only were going to do 4 seasons from the start. I'm down for paying for premium if it means more weapons and more maps.

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. 🙂
I know games eventually come to an end (the bad ones). But, what a stupid way to end the game. The last 3 seasons were just awful, no creativity at all it felt more like a testing ground. Man I was really looking forward to "2" new maps.
