BF6 vs 2042
My son wanted to play 2042. Just loaded the game for him. Easy to navigate menus. No clutter. Games modes easy to find, where you expect them to be. Loaded up one of my codes servers for him. Load...

I’ve got 3,800+ hours in 2042, and 160 hours in BF6.
Everything you said is spot on.
But I will offer the fact that 2042 went through several rounds of tweaks and nerfs before this balance was achieved. When 2042 first came out it suffered many weapon balance problems and other issues that people lost their minds over. If you go back to archived posts for when it was released all you’d see was “OmG UnPlAyAbLe!!1!1! I WaNt My MonEy BaCK!!”. Also, you cannot simply release a re-skinned 2042…then 6 would be panned as a low-effort reskin with little originality. That said, there’s a bunch of unnecessary complexity to just start a game in 6. I don’t like the kit menus. Don’t like the too-deep customization menus. Absolutely Hate the laser-beam full auto guns and insta-kill ttk thanks to bad code and lag. All this stuff should be far simpler.
Yes, I agree. 2042 did need work and it came good in the end. Admittedly, it was painful waiting for things to be added and fixed. It was not by any means good to go out of the box.
what I do find unacceptable is the amount of missing features that were present in a previous title. While I accept that bugs and fixes are needed in a new game, I cannot for the life of me understand why tried and tested features and functionality would be missing in a new title.
Portal for example. 2042 allowed us to change a multitude of settings when creating a server. There are a load of settings missing in BF6’s portal compared to what is available in 2042’s.
Why is this?
in 2042’s portal, they game us game mode templates that we could pick up and use. These are missing completely in BF6.
They have literally gone backwards with things.
Regarding re-skinning 2042. I do agree with what you say. However, the irony is, I suspect a lot of people would have been happy with getting 2042’s UI, functions and features with BF6 soldiers, tone and environmental settings.
i would have said BF6’s maps, but sadly, for the most part, they are awful.
