The General state of Battlefield 2042 1.2(6)
I'm going to be negative. I would be ok with this game if it was the 2042 beta. I mean it's the same build just without flying squirrels. It has the same bugs, the same weird gunplay and the same weird art style. That game released 4 years ago and they still haven't figured it out. That makes me certain it ain't going to happen, why? Because they don't care, that's today's climate.. it's literally the same bugs, the same issues over and over again, every single launch since BFV. Like wth is actually going on?
Before anyone said its a skill issue let me say this. I've been playing battlefield since 1942 I consistently drop 30-50 kills in older titles like BF1 and BF4 (today), always PTFO. I've been playing FPS games since OG Doom so I know how to set up my games and hardware properly.
The gunplay is a lottery.
Every time I start a new round I get to play the same map.
My PC reebots every now and then mid round.
The lvl of camping is pure toxic.
70 ton tanks can roll up on you without a single sound.
The visibility is really bad (if you dont have a $6-7k PC. With or without SOVIS)
No server browser.
The challenges forces you do play in weird ways that has nothing to do with the class in question.
The options menu is flooded with settings but not the settings you actually want to change.
The net code is way off, hit reg is a pure lottery.
The menu UI in general is so incredibly messy and overworked.
The rooftops that you can't accessed from the ground need to be out of bounds since camping is already rampant.
The helicopters take zero skill and mow down infantry in half a frame.
They've practically ruined sniping with one simple tool(range finder)that takes away every skill element needed.
There's yellow dots infesting the whole menu showing you there's new unlocks but when you've clicked 13 buttons to get there there's nothing, but the yellow dot is still present of course (this is 100% something carried over by a former cod dev).
Settings randomly resets each time you start the game. One is the sovis filter which is incredibly irritating since you can't spot enemies when it's off. Another is menu narration which is just as annoying.
The list goes on and on but I don't care to state the obvious yet another time. The streamers get paid to push the product and the consumers gulp it down. DICE is not what it once was and no matter how hard I try to enjoy this game I can't, I really really want to but I can't.
