No wonder why I feel alienated from this game series. It has surface of Battlefield in name but deep inside it has become year after year different beast or perhaps a mutation and amalgamation of its competitors. Fast paced, ultra casual, frantic and self-focused game series where players play in their own way for their own goals and still feel frustrated when losing a match, the common goal.
Maybe I should move on. It's hard to accept I can't get joy from Battlefield. Maybe in future indie developers will start to create games in market gap left by Refractor era games.
BF2042's vision is such a mess, it's hard to know who it was aimed at.
Rendezook and C5 buggy in the trailer was aimed at the BF3/BF4 people.
Portal aimed at modders and players from the PC era.
Specialists aimed at marvel comic fans?
Diversity, climate Armageddon and childish EOR voice lines aimed at the trend chasers.
When all is said and done none of the above ruins the game for me but 2042 sure does have an identity crisis and the people who greenlit the final vision at release should be kept far away from the next battlefield game.
For me, I was fine with the way the game was at first and then the devs started trying to implement things that would cater to the ones that were crying about different things trying to bring them back and is still ongoing with wanting to bring back classes. Which to me has now ruined the game for me and has done nothing to bring back the other players. Almost like a catch-22. Bring back the ones that were crying about it and run off the ones that enjoyed the game from the start. Almost like they are trying to ruin the game so it just dies.
