What a disappointment
I just made an account on here to rant about the shortcomings of battlefield 2042. If you disagree with my opinion, then I am glad you can find the game fun.
Battlefield Bc2, Bf3, and Bf4, and even bf1 and bfv have all felt like they had a purpose, a direction. The games were fun because of the maps, classes, amount of weapons, style of play, and even music. When you wanted to be an engineer, there were parameters. Your equipment would revolve around vehicles and the guns where limited to that specific class. Snipers had the option of being on top of a mountain with a spotter scope and recon equipment spotting enemy soldiers and vehicles the whole game. Teamwork was uplifting and rewarding. You were well rewarded for leveling up with a huge music blast and large insignia rank showing on your screen.
Battlefield 2042 feels like a clumsy mess. I'm not sure how to even describe it. It doesn't feel like battlefield, but more of an arcade shooter made of all the recent semi-successful shooters combined into one with below average mechanics, maps, and any type of direction. Vehicles are weird and overpowered, there is such a small selection for new guns to unlock, and the classes mean nothing anymore. It would have been so simple to take Bf3 or Bf4 and improve on them, but we get a glitchy vegetable of a game.
