@Lady_OneBF42 logic, One hit with shield, two hits with a literally 50mm cannon. Its such a Mickey Mouse game, and there are literally hours of youtube videos breaking down numbers of issues, and lacking of details. Still even recently. It is, without question, one of the worst displays of neglects to fans & psychics
@l_Darkjedi_lThe 50mm will 1shot kill people on a direct hit fairly often. Not always, dunno why, probably a bug, could be splash+direct hit damage. It will not 1shot if you miss. Don't miss. It's a video game and there has to be balance, it's not real life. If the shield was not a 1 hit kill, the slower turning speed would mean you can just eat the hit from a dozer and circle around him and knife him from the back, free kill. If the turning speed was fast to account for that, it would be too easy for dozer to protect from flanks. If that was the case and instead you could, say, break a piece of glass in dozer's shield with any explosion to give it some other weakness, it would be useless, as we've already seen.
Even if the 50mm always didn't 1shot people, that's fine because it's already very strong, it has higher vehicle DPS than any other weapon available for 50mm seats, AND still has some splash to fight against infantry. What's the alternative? Making vehicles even stronger against infantry? Completely devolving the game into get hit once from nowhere, instantly die, regardless of vehicle or infantry?
Complete realism is 99% of the time a bad metric for making an enjoyable game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuTkgi7scKo
@Lady_Oneyou just not going to comment on the literally screen shots of spawn camping and the content amount? and No not one hit kill from any were, do you actually count the number of shot it takes? it is literally "big guns scary so big guns hurt less", but two shots from a 9mm can kill you, but four shots from a LMG 7.62 round doesn't, what. also there is a beaming problem, thats documented, hyper unrealistic recoil, I am beam people, while standing AND moving, hold down the trigger from 150meter away. It.is.a.joke.of.a.game. It is slapped together. poorly glued, and stapled. Even after the many, many reworks, the game is still so short of a real game, by the way, you didn't count the items in game did you? shall I do it for you?
didn't they just recently add one of the most basic elements of a game, the scoreboard?
and if you through the media I post in the link, the game is still trash, just because the can polish poop does not void the fact it is still poop

The scoreboard was added in March 2022 [4 months after release, dumb to not have it at launch, but at least it was there and was changed over time].
@AnobixThanks to clear that up, but still, why on earth would you do that? It just makes no sense. So it is black and white the put the game out with basic elements. They had to do major, major clean up to get the game to mid game play, also, nothing new, no idea ideas, it is a basic. Just for a game in general.
I am so amazed at that, as soon as they clean up little, and people start having some fun. all the issues go out the door. we can play a game, have some fun, and still acknowledge that, the product, should've been illegal to sell for money, then bring it to some mid-level COD type shooter, and pass it off as a good game. When it is simply not good enough. I have had actually had, and I am craping you not, people mistake is for a COD game.
If people were more critical, we would get this, I got the game for free and want a refund. People should be genuinely upset and I am confused when they are not. (btw no more updates?)
@l_Darkjedi_lComment what? I already stated multiple times that the game has issues, gave you a few ones that weren't contrived, not that the game has none. You want me to check every single thing you mention to make sure it's true? Why not do that yourself? Did you read the reddit post you linked, again? I want the issues people post to be real, not made up, completely confused about something that is a real issue, misunderstanding balance, or from 2-3 years ago (unless that's the whole point, but given you mention the 20mm flak, it's not). ESPECIALLY given how easy it still is to find real issues with 2042.
If you want to just complain in an echo chamber about 2042 bad, you don't need to make a long post and frame it as "objective" and include citations. Citing a wrong reddit post is literally what games journalists do. You can just say "2042 bad, XP to the bottom left", and we all know 2042 bad. This isn't some revelation.
Battlefield isn't Arma (or Squad or such). Arma does realism, however 99% of games aren't nor want to be Arma. They're different games. You talk about identity - Battlefield's identity has never been slow paced highly realistic shooter. It's a casual game where people jump out of a jet to fire a rocket at another jet. You don't refute the balance. Should we go back to the Battlefield 4 shield, or have overpowered vehicles, or have the game be hardcore mode by default or what? Remove the shield, remove the 50mm? Make it so the javelin is a 1 shot kill to all vehicles, the RPG is useless against armor, but you can equip it with a powerful HE head and go ruin Redacted matches?
@Lady_OneOh my goodness, one or two things might be incorrect, one being literally data-mined to figure out the existence of weak spots. Great, and news flash: it's objective if literally everyone agrees it's bad. You and I don't even need to check the contents of the other games because we both know the answer: the game is objectively worse. If you've played BF3, BF: Bad Company, or BF4, it's not even a debate that it has strayed so far from what it was—it's unrecognizable.
As far as realism goes, sure, maybe I like it for not being so childish or "Mickey Mouse.", but holy balls dude, more then TWO HEADSHOTS FROM A LMG. More then four body shots with a 7.62. There is simple no logic or thought. I also double check that the shield does kill in one hit, I haven't seen it not yet.
Moreover, the title is true: it proves that they did everything in their power to hype up a game that should've been illegal to sell for money at launch. It's a bad game—you said it yourself. That's my point. If you and everyone else agrees that it is bad, then it being bad is a fact, thus it is objectively bad.
This game is the worst excuse for a full release, and it's not just me—hundreds of thousands of others agree too.
Theirs is no thought into balances. If their was, it wouldn't needed to be re-worked 4 times in the past 2 years, and is still a joke. They just keeping throwing code at it until it basically doesn't break.
I also noticed alot of shortcuts they took in-game, one being that there is not even a reload animation, for all but the hero, for rocket launchers. They toss it on the ground to avoid having to programing it, nice.
by the way, As I'm playing, as we speak, there is somehow a tank on a tall building, da f***. You should look at what a meme this game is on the internet, some of these are great.
At the in of the day, no excuse is a good excuse for this.
@Lady_One Also, plenty of other games have worked out realism and balance, far far better then this. Also, the fact the CEO basically said, this is what you get, buy it or don't I think sums of the title of the article
