what is missing most in 2042

@Equilibrium_82 For me what is missing is the passion and soul that the dev team never put in during development.

1. maps seem like they are made for a racing game not fps

2. specialists were a bad idea, and they made it worse by making them act like clowns. are they in war or playing a paintball game? I don't know.

3. the gun variety and attachments are severely lacking. I would think in 2042 there would be a big DIY community that can make all sorts of guns and attachments. Why even set it in 2042 if there is nothing to show it is from that time period? 

4. no futuristic elements, a lot of things are in development in the weapons industry, they could have implemented some of these interesting things, but absolutely nothing other than a robot dog. 

5. 128 players is good, but at what cost? I don't know what the tick rate of the servers are, but they feel very unresponsive compared to previous battlefield games. 

6. music is like chalk on a wall. again no imagination at all. 

... and so many other things.. I just can't write them all, it would be too long 

The social side, all the above is irrelevant when there can be only 4!

@Trokey66 Just as well I have no mates then.

Short answer: The Battlefield experience.

@Equilibrium_82my playtime and money - that`s for sure what`s missing.

Proper mouse input/output in-game,

Elaborate Squad Management known since BF2 - that`s my first one of the biggest disappointments,

Classic Scoreboard - I mean like really,

No Server Browser but Lobby - The lobby is good for Extraction and Battle Royale or Casino Royale,

No permanent servers - this is my final departure confirmation letter,

No VoIP and global chat - No VoIP in Hazard Zone?!

No classes in Conquest - is this Battlefield any longer?

All of the above are the major items and also for me there is no real immersion / atmosphere compared to previous BF's.

It all feels a bit soulless. I feel there is no real camaraderie as you never get the time to get to know your squad members due to MM only allowing one map and then it's back to the lobby.

And because of this is, there is certainly a lot less teamwork in BF2042 which in turn results in the whole experience being a lot less entertaining / fun imho.  ☹️

For me to keep playing, Id need:

1. The original real scoreboard

2. Server browser

3. Better XPs esp for repair and healing. Squad wipe. etc

4. A ton of skins to choose from

5. Cut the post one liners 

6. cut the cinematics before match

7. persistent servers

8. stats

9. More weapons

10. Transport vehicles such as bikes (no weapons) example: Snow mobiles for breakaway

11. At least 4 new maps within the next 3-4 months 

12. bring back levolution

IN short, it aint going to happen. 

In this thread.

How many ways can we say the same  unoriginal things for weeks on end.
