So who is the BF2042 target demographic?
I'm a bit confused as to just who EA / DICE was trying to attract to this game. They had a very solid fanbase who had played the Battlefield series of games for nearly 20 years now. This game certa...

@Stew360 Why do you keep comparing 2042 with a more than 10 years old version of BF (BF3) instead with its direct predecessor BF5?
For me, 2042 is a downgrade in probably almost every aspect of BATTLEFIELD gameplay in general when compared with BF5.
Also, using a map from a pure CQ DLC and saying its representative for entire BF3 is a bit of deception, isn't it? The BF3/4 CQ maps were a nice distraction and addition but never replaced true BF modes and maps.
The rush mode however, is a successful addition to BF and perfectly fits the typical BF style.

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?
and Ive been sitting in a "waiting for players to join" queue for about an hour now. This game is stupid.
