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.

    Yea it does feel like what some others have alluded to that the game was changed mid-stream from one style to another and they just didn't have time to add everything.

    There is just so much missing from previous BF titles.  

  • Exactly it's a mess. 
    It had the potential, but to lack of quality control or leadership, it has failed.

    Wait 1-2 years it might be playable 

  • @TOMSBETTER The music in 2042 is absolutely horrible in comparison to previous BF titles.

    i.e

    2042 doesn't have any sense of direction or atmosphere, the trailers and specialists voiceover are corny and cringe.

    i.e

    The difference in feel in these trailers is astounding. Hard to believe these came from the same company

    2042 is too upbeat for the setting it's placed in. Specialists voiceovers are cringe, the entire attitude of 2042 is annoying. There's no sense of immersion, purpose or atmosphere.

    2042 is very disappointing.
  • @TOMSBETTER It makes me sad! I really hoped to have some great gaming time with this game again like i did with bad company 2 and battlefield 3. Clearly that is not going to happen. EA you should be ashamed!
  • It's just not a battlefield game. How does a bf game get launched without something as basic as a scoreboard?

    I think if I had one word to describe this game, it would be CRINGE.

  • Compared to bf4 this game is so bland, gutted of everything.

    Do we need to buy a premium platinum diamond version to unlock basic things as scoreboard, proper building destruction etc ?

    Just imagine someone got paid a lot of money for making this ui. 

    It just makes me sick.

    @SpicyGod But if we wait 1-2 years they'll just come out with the next game giving up on it when it's just getting good, just like they did with BFV AND BATTLEFRONT II.
