Sounds like they're already finding a way with the BR mode haha. That was quick.
The netcode in 2042 is really bad, it just seems to favor console players for some reason. BF6 will be the same unfortunately.
I was a big fan of BF5, but you're right, it was pretty bad at times too. Especially the smaller maps, like all BF games, they fall apart when too many players are close together. I definitely remember being very frustrated with BF5 and people warping around the corners.
I never got into BF1, tried it for a week and didn't like it. Not really a fan of world war themed games, but I've heard a lot of good things about it. From what I've seen, it did look really smooth for some reason.
