So I just don't get why all I read is how bad 2042 is.....I'm really enjoying the game... sure there's issues but there is on every game launch The bugs made me laugh, the wait times remind me of playing the ps1 and when we got our computer at school, the good old C64......This need for instant success all the time is wrongIt takes time to perfect thingsI've had some great games with my two squad mates, just playing the game, levelling up properly It does make me made when I pump a clip into someone and then they turn and kill me with on bullet or a tank takes two hits, I take just one and blew up but its only a game......Even though wife says I still take it way too seriously Lighten up all, it's a game, fixes will come, it's not all your life is about and if it is turn your screen off and get outdoors..... you need reminding there's a real world out there

@MARLEY_75 Dude its very cold in the midwest and maybe they shouldn't have charged full price for a game they knew wasn't finished.I'd like to see Hollywood movies get released in the state video games are sold in. Gamers don't get the justice they deserve.

@BizzyVaping Same, people acting entitled, no scoreboard, GAME IS BROKEN!People need to put big boy pants on and stop acting like a 5 year old unhappy with a present.

@MARLEY_75 okay pal your "whataboutism" is imaculate."It takes time to perfect things"???? are you for real. DICE/EA abandoned BFV and Battlefront 2 to pool all available manpower at this project, they delayed the game for an entire year and then an additional month, they got the help of 3 additional studios on the game and for what? a game that plays worse them most indie developed games do nowadays.....the state of this games release is inexcusable and i will die on that hill if need be.imagine buying a Mercedes at full prize and they mail you your licenseplate with a note saying here is your product the rest will arrive within the next 6ish months come by the workshop to get it installed....

@MARLEY_75 I feel the same as you, most of the Battlefield games, have had bugs in the start, and been fixed later on, I also like the game, but I miss the cooperation between the team mates often, sometimes I write in the ingame chat, take flags instead of camping, and it most of the times helps, seems like most players are just playing for kills.

I haven't had any gamebreaking bugs. Only a few annoyances here and there.

I would honestly still be satisfied with the product if they never made any more changes and just added more maps and guns to both AOW and Portal.

I wish they would just leave it alone and go play Halo or whatever they want to play and let us enjoy this

It makes them feel better in the face of the recognition that their lives are fininte, everything will one day turn to dust, and the infinite universe doesn't care.

I think they only ones "enjoying" the game are people who play alone
