@EdwinSpanglerIt is quite interesting to read here, really too much positivity? and to much people liking the game?
WoW I thought you can't have enough of it but apparently, I'm just too old or not a person for a hate train.
Yes, you can question whether it is necessary to publish a game with so many bugs or performance issues but this does not make the game unplayable or even broken.
But hey I don’t apologise that I like the game or that I post my opinion in some threads and bring my arguments.
And this has nothing to do with defending EA/DICE this is because I like BF2042 that I have fun with it.
I also reporting bugs that I can reproduce like the instant exploding of the Sentry Gun.
Also, I have opened a thread to collect information about the issue with the matchmaking that some people have and I still think this is a reginal issue with the server host and ISPs.
If this is too positive, hey than I can live with it.
Also, I can ask you do the missing “legacy feature" influence the general gameplay? I don’t think so.
There are QoL but not essential to play the game.
See you on the Battlefield

@CountSeroWell of course I dont actually believe there is too much positivity or too many people liking this game. I was simply making a point. A point that looking back on now, I should have specified that I only visit this forum for BF talk so as for reddit and twitter, Ive never visited those websites. I dont know what goes on there.
The main thing I wanted to say is (and someone pointed this out several posts back) that there are two very contradicting points of view here that create some serious toxicity. The love and the hate. Its clear each side wants the other side to see it their way but thats not going to happen. We just need to get along and communicate in a more civil manner. Ill admit, ive made my fair share of snark comments, maybe even to the point of being toxic and I honestly regret it. It helps nothing and I realize those comments are part of what im complaining about here.
I know for the last what? 20 years or so, every BF had their problems at launch (along with the hate trains) but if youve been with BF for this long you cannot deny there is something different with this iteration and people are pi*.
Btw to everyone else replying here. Theres been so much I wanted to reply to but reading further down it seems someone usually points out the same basic idea I would have. Good to see everyone keeping their composure, however.
As for the legacy features missing or influencing gameplay. Yes I think they influence gameplay. QoL IS essential to enjoyable gameplay. I think this is the main reason for the hate. They took so much away and leave us with this hollow shell of a Battlefield. Its been said here so many times now. You cant take away all the things that make something great and expect that thing to remain great. I guess I just wish this game didnt carry the BF title. This whole debacle would have been avoided. Maybe at the very least they could have promoted this game differently, advertised it as "An entirely new, redivised Battlefield". Then again, heres another complaint of the community. The people who feel lied to over the promotion and advertisement EA choose.
Anyway, I really want to like this game and hopefully in the future I will. Maybe you will see me on the battlefield. We will see.
@EdwinSpangler even that I’m not your opinion I can accept your opinion in they way you have written it in this post.
So, Kudos for that mate.
But you have to admit that such posts are a rarity here in the forum.
Also, most of the post that are “positive” or on favour of BF20420 are more friendly than the threads that are disliking it.
Yes, also for me it was long ride with the Bf franchise (since 2004) and yes, the game has changed but I don’t mind the changes and some changes I like much more in BF2040 than in the games before. Also, as long it hits my personal preferences and I can have fun with it I don’t mind some minor bugs or glitches (these can be fixed). If these bugs are bigger and I can reproduce them, I open a Bug Report.
Yes, I admit that sometimes my posts are close to the edge of sarcasm but most of the time my posts are not short I will take my time to write down my opinion and bring also the facts which presenting my “personal view”.
That’s in my opinion the part of a discussion but yes, I understand what you mean and I see that sometimes the opinion fronts are hardened.
So again, thnx for your post and clarifying your opinion.
See you on the Battlefield
Does an AOW 2042 portal server with a modified rotation but no other modded rules garner full XP for the players?
It it doesn't, then the criticisms of a lack of XP progression in Portal make sense.
If it does give full XP, then the problem would seem to be rather one of advertising - if you can have the full server browser with proper ranking experience, then one must wonder why no one is playing it.
