Yawn who plays Halo really this sounds like more time watching youtube video's than playing the game..
Hosted a TDM portal server tonight then switched to a mates gun game server. it's early days and yes the game is in no way perfect but if you can't see the potential you really are watching more than you game.
- 4 years ago@ShevermiN Like i said, I've played 35+ hours (now 45+ at the time of writing this) of the game, played all the game modes that are available, used the majority of the weapons, gadgets and all the vehicles since I'm level 49 now (apart from the Bolt). So I'm clearly not just "watching" more that I play. I'm not one of those people who are just watching clips on YouTube then complain on Reddit.
Not denying the potential of the game. Thing is, the potential or early days of a game is generally what people (not saying you specifically) say when they play an alpha or beta, not when it's fully released at full price. This isn't some an indy studio where they're working with a skeleton staff of 5, this is a AAA studio with tonnes of money and a big amount of staff. This game should have been a great game from the beginning. The studios should be learning from past games & the BF community who have played the franchise since the beginning and not trying to emulate all aspects of other franchises/games and not completely changing the way game is. BF2042 should have been delayed by at least 6 months, if not a year. Just like the studios of Horizon and God Of War did for those games because they knew the game wasn't ready. EA Dice knew this game wasn't ready, yet they still released it. And I think as a paying consumers of their products, should be annoyed by their decisions and demand some sort of discounts for on future content or in some cases a full refund.
I'm going to keep playing the game regardless, having paid full price for it so I want to get my money's worth, even though I'm getting bored of the game and annoyed by the design choices and lack of features that have been in most of the BF franchise.- 4 years ago
The bugs are the least of my worries its expected in all games eventually they will be fixed.
What gets to me is the lack of a game weve been sold on. So many fun aspects of BF completely left out even the little things like dog tags, military insignia for ranking up, tracking how you fare against a specific player in kills, no comms?? Sniping mechanics like holding your breath. Medals for achievements, they should focus on a more rewarding gaming experience that will get you addicted instead we get lame player cards, lame vocals and cut scenes.
With all the power of next gen consoles i got a game that BF4 beats by miles. Only bigger maps and more players doesnt do much for a game. Portal seems like a lazy way to escape creating new content, its the past BF plus a few new maps, this is crazy. Iam sure they have more in store but very weak for a new game tons of small things they could of kept and built better to truly make this game a new better , improved BF instead you got the old BF in portal and a new BF thats weak and watered down. Doesnt make sense. I paid $100 for tbis game for a new BF not for old BF versions packaged in.

@BOURNENYCYou forgot stealth completely removed, remember when you went on a flag to have a single enemy on it, and you had a great game of hide and seek, or when you crept onto an objective and proceeded to stealth kill the people who came to defend it, all gone thanks to proxy balls making it impossible.

Its only me who feels the game needs more game modes? It feels kinda boring now but they should add BATTLEFIELD HARDLINE to the PORTAL since BATTLEFIELD 2042 is a modern-era setup. BATTLEFIELD HARDLINE offered some gorgeous and unique game modes such as Blood Money,Heist,Hotwire etc. I never get bored of those modes.

The day before yesterday I went to gamestop to get some games on sale, and then they tried to talk to me about maybe getting 2042 and I said no thanks, they looked like they hadn't sold any copies when they opened the cabinet and pulled out a entire thing filled with them.
Hell even farming simulator that just came out seems it might have more players lol.
- 4 years ago@ShevermiN Seeing potential is one thing. Exploiting this potential by the devs is another. Won't happen and when it will happen the direction will be wrong. Trust me because we are talking about EA and Dice. And their direction is completly wrong and chaotic since bf 4

2042 is DOA. There are a few people who enjoy it and thats good. More power to them.
I have zero faith in the current Dice/EA group of devs. And Tom's video basically speaks for itself. However, i am excited about what Embark studios - mostly made out of the original Dice developers (i checked linkedin) - are all about. They working on two games, one of them is a PVP team based game. Not a BF replacement but they KNOW what most of us want. So follow them on twitter and such....
Some of the art looks curious on their latest Blog:
