Who thought that increasing scope glint was a good idea

Half of the entire point of being a sniper is being stealthy. Now I get having high magnification scopes reveal snipers so they aren't effectively untouchable, but now being sneaky is EFFECTIVELY IMP...

@59hushy6ywi8 ...once good game?

Is this some kind of bad joke? There's a reason most people considered it the worst Battlefield to ever release. Only now a year later is it finally getting to an acceptable state... But they still make ridiculous decisions like I mentioned.

@SilentReavus You're way off. It launched better than it is now. Trolls have been voting the game in the complete wrong direction. Guns nerfed, tools locked, unnecessary features added INSTEAD of new content. The old maps were fine, now we have practically nothing. 3 maps? Big friggin deal, BF3 and 4 would have that in one pack.

Hopefully the next game starts off where this was and sticks to their original vision. Something competent and decisive.

    There was no vision for the launch state of 2042.

    Only a corporate checkbox list with the Battlefield brand placed on the title.

    I loathe when artists want to flex their creative freedom while trying to reuse the past success of a brand that may not even have been of their own creation.

    It is the same with how we get all these subpar reimaginings, remakes, sequels on cinema.

    If they have a "vision" for something  different, they should have the balls to start a new IP, just like Lars is doing right now with his new studio.

      @UP_Hawxxeye Baloney. All the parts were there. The modes, the weapons and tools, the maps. It was easy to ignore the royale mode, not like anyone was active there.

      All I can say is after the slow pace of the last 2 games I was eager for a return to gameplay like this. Far better than 1 and 5. But the trolls dug into 2042 and managed to ruin it.

        @59hushy6ywi8 

        LOL yup, all the parts were there alright, everything except players....

        Just because you keep repeating the same nonsense over and over again doesn't make it true.

        This game is in a FAR better state today than it was even a few months ago.

        It doesn't sound to me like you EVER liked Battlefield and prefer the Arena shooters/COD/Apex style of gameplay.

      @UP_Hawxxeye The problem of BF2042 on launch, IMHO, was trying to emulate CoD. Fighting for the same market niche. BF was never like CoD.

      The game is much, much better now. Unfortunately the opportunity cost was immense: it's been catching up now, plus, it seems to me now there's a skeleton crew working on 2042—I believe the core of DICE working now on the next release.

    @59hushy6ywi8 The playercount tells something different.

    The game tanked shortly after launch. Only a small audience wanted what Dice delivered.

    Their vision was flawed in any possible way and should never have been called Battlefield.
