@Ironhead841Its a simple logic really. You can call me a tinfoil conspiracy theorist if you will.
But EA is following Activision's steps. In order to stop people from "Ohmagad I die from 1000m he don't evens me, must be hacking" people, they will have to introduce some kind of system that prevents players of different skill level playing against each other. Especially now that cross play is a thing
CoD is doing it to extreme levels, reducing damage and hit registratio for players who are too good etc. Its bananas over there.
Here they're testing out soft SBMM that tries to somewhat level the playing field.
And its working a little. Games aren't super lopsided. I mean in previous games most matches ended in a disaster for the enemy team with 800 point difference. In 2042 most games of Conquest 128 are ending with a 200-300 point difference. There are exceptions, but still.
EA has slowly been pulling out from Rental Servers. BF1, then BF5 had no rented servers, only official. And now BF2042 has no servers at all.
- YourLocalPIumber3 years agoSeasoned Ace@ATFGunr Trust me, I hope I'm wrong too. But FPS games are going south. CoD has all kinds of SBMM and insane aim assist making m&k useless, HALO is adding literal aim assist for mouse and keyboard users.
I REALLY hope Battlefield franchise would stay away from all of this nonsense.And I also would love to see a server browser. Just trying to look at a bigger picture here.- Ahhnuld3 years agoSeasoned Ace@UP_LordPlumber Hey, its the "everyone gets a trophy" generation, right? I have no problem getting beat down by a better player. I do have an issue with getting shot through walls and what appears to be a single pistol shot while flying through the air on a 180 spin and snap.
