Vehicle and Helicopters kills the game for me
@EchoBeachBattlefield is a combine arms game not an Arena shooter
- ATFGunr4 years agoLegend@Stew360 To be fair though, 2042 seems to be an arena shooter with vehicles…. 🤣

We have 128 players and at least 100 are infantry. It is an infantry-based game with vehicles on top.
The vehicles are way to dominant in 2042. This is partly due to the maps being really bad (no cover) and partly because some of the vehicles are too mobile and have overpowered weapons (mostly the nightbird and the bolte).
Finally, working audio would help a lot. Too often you get killed by "silent" vehicles. If infantry could hear the vehicles they could at least try to take cover (if the map has any).
Combined warfare is special for BF, but at the moment vehicles are more or less 'random-death-generators', which kills the fun of playing infantry

@cso7777Vehicles are fine on 64 player and generally don't last long if they don't retreat using a tiny bit of coordination among team players.
I would imagine with twice as many infantry running around in 128 player, most vehicles are easily taken care of apart from the exceptions to the rule who know how to survive in top tier vehicles for long periods.

Its the most COmbine arms focus battlefield since BF2 and 2142 i would say BF3 was almost an arena shooter and BFBC was a " Lane shooter " where all maps were designed like a long corridor shooter ...
2042 was truely designed to be a Conquest game and goes at the roots of what make BF a BF games .. but peoples are so busy hating on the game and creating drama base on missconception that this is not seen by the regular dude who just follow the trending thing .. And right now the trend was set by the most vocal to hate on the game so the followers type personality follows ..- 4 years ago
@Stew360Assuming everyone and theyr mother is a following type is pretty arrogant and exclude you anyway from any serious discussion.
People just don’t like the game, be it either underwhelming low performance, be it gamebreaking bugs or be it the netcode who cant handle 128 players.
That + map design (almost no cover, transport vehicle spam like bolte or scouts) completely ruins any fun for infantry which you are most of the time except you wait in the spawnscreen doing nothing.
True bf experience… never smirked so hard.
That’s why this game literally died 2 months into it, right ?Cant remember the last Time when all out clonefare aka specialists where a true BF experience.
Or theyr cringe dialogues which are completely out of touch.
Today I had not one single game without bots and a few game with endless lobby time where after it returned to the main menue.
I guess you are the following type for BS huh ?
