@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
@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.
THings i could have lived with.
1. hero system, i honestly wouldn't have cared if everything else was so bad.
2. technical issues, they eventually get fixed.
Things I couldn't stand and ultimately uninstalled the game because of.
1. Attrocious UI. Honestly, Every time i died and tried to change class/hero, i went back in with the wrong one somehow. Aweful aweful controlller mapping, utter garbage.
2. Different team after every game. No, just no, what on earth. utter garbage.
3. Lack of decent Map rotation and facist you'll play what we tell you to play garbage, just no, awful awful. awful.
4. no/2nd rate scoreboard. The lack of a scoreboard ti begin with shows that there is a total lack of thinking behind the games scoring mechanic. Its not just about the score. Its about how its acrued. Getting this wrong shows that there is something seriously wrong with the thinking behind the game. So, no, absolutely not.
5. Flying squirrles is possibly the most stupid immerse breaking nonsense ever to have made it into battlefield. I just coped with jumping and parachuting, its not completely realistic, but solves a basic in game need, without being so far fetched as to be immerse breaking. The sky diving though? Hate isn't a strong enough word for this garbage. No, just no.
6. Zip lines, equally as stupid. Fixed lines ok, fine, this stupidity of ziplining everywhere, urg. horrid.
7. No server browser == no community. I feel like the people who decided this must be alien invader lizzard people. They had so little confidence in their game that they felt that they needed to macro manage every player into some turgid facist map rotation. Urge, its just horrid. No server browser next time? not buying it.
Basically, what used to be a fun arcade, slightly gritty, semi realistic jaunt, turned into a horrid experience all round. Purely aimed at a new generation they'll treat no different than a slave. Dice/EA made it clear to me i'm no longer their target audience, a "legacy" player too old for them.
I've never in nearly 50 years of life, been so disgusted and angered by a game.
@Lady_OneBy the way, here is a whole video one the absolute laser beam dumpster fire that is bf42 https://youtu.be/Kve-7DWf0Ks?si=gN7Nss-2QdxQDtJC
oh wait, here is yet another person, actively realizing a full-auto is beaming people while playing; https://youtu.be/flfSFXBHy7g?si=oM553F7eIDgAKVWr&t=1223
and last but not least... here is..... a fing tank riding on the back of a jet, are fing kidding me. https://youtube.com/shorts/VaYv_Ybi2hU?si=GQYg0566uUAQnYXi
I rest my case.
@l_Darkjedi_lIt isn't just "one or two" things, unless you think the game today is the same it was at launch. A large chunk of your initial post is wrong.

"This is why BF4 is the worst game ever. It is not realistic. I rest my case."
@Lady_OneEvery game will have some bunked up stuff in it, the reason why we can pick apart bf42 is because it is trash even now, it is the worst battlefield game to date, and it is so basic. No game is perfect, we all know, but I bet majority enjoy playing bf4 then bf42, why? because like this post points out, it was a systemic and intentional. I am not sure what your points are other then "some stuff you say isn't 100% true because they fix it", great, the list still goes on, people are unhappy with the fundamental and back bone building blocks of the game. Most people like bf4, what's your argument here? what's your defence for bf42? did you watch any of the videos I sent? Pointing out the "beaming" issues? some about a month ago? Did you count the contents of the games? why? because bf42 is far far lass. Did you look at the in game bullet drops? no you didn't because bf42 has the most unrealistic bullet drop. dude you have no argument. Bf42 is the most utter piece together trash to be realised with a bf name. That's not debatable, that's a fact, so my post is not incorrect, please try again. I'll be here Mon-Fir
Moreover, I guarantee you if you sat the battlefield community down in front of a side by side it would be BF4 everytime.
and buddy, I am not sure you understand, even if they fix some of it, it still "represents the collapse of a triple A" Because they still put an unplayable, untested, game out. it was so unplayable they had to spend the next two years making it mid as f**. You are not exactly provening this post to be correct by the way if that's your intentions.
Additionally,I want you to understand something, the game is so bad the the series now hangs on the next bf coming out. If the next battlefield doesn't do good, then it looks like it for battlefield. Think about what it did to the battlefield name, do some research. So ya nothing you have said has proven this post wrong, weather it was at initially lunch, or still in the mid gameplay
@Lady_One Lets use your argument against you, all three of those were 10 years old or older, and they update the game since then, oh your not showing it as is.
I just hate it telling me what map I am going to play.
No I don't want to play Hourglass.
I only like a few maps so I try to play those. Hourglass/Discard ehhhhh for me.
