Add the grappling hook and insta-kill throwing knife to the cheese list of BF 2042. I don't mind having throwing knives, but the instant kill should only be with a head strike. I just find it ridiculous when I can easily insta-kill you with a knife, yet it may take several bullets to kill you when shooting you.
And I agree, the bunny-hopping is too much. That needs to be toned down if it's to remain. I think the slide is a tad too much as well. That too could be slightly adjusted to less of a slide.
As for the elephant in the room (cross-play), I personally think cross-play should ONLY be between Xbox and PS players. If they were to give console players M&K support and no other special treatment, then I wouldn't have an issue with cross-play with PC. Until then, it's a big no for me. If the next BF game is a good one, there will be enough players to find matches without cross-play. Never was an issue in previous BF games. From what I've read, it seems most console players prefer NOT to play against PC players, and understandably so. I'm a PC player, and I don't want to play against aim-assist, less recoil and whatever else console players get to help them compete against PC players. If console players have to be given special treatment for them to compete against PC players, then why even have cross-play to begin with? And I don't want to hear aim-assist isn't like what I think. I call BS! There are YouTube vids showing just how ridiculously accurate it can be when in the right hands. And the less recoil nonsense helps as well. Those are basically built-in cheats, in my opinion. If we're all to play against each other with cross-play, then I want us all on the same level playing field. No special treatment for anyone!
And don't even get me started on the spawn system in BF 2042. This is the absolute worst spawn system of any previous BF game I've ever experienced. An absolute disaster of a spawn system. I couldn't even begin to tell you how many times I've been spawn out in the wide open with the enemy around me and killing me instantly. Or kill an enemy and have them spawn in near me and kill me. Just a brutal spawn system in BF 2042. I'm getting all worked up just typing about it! 🤣
I would like to see more infantry focused maps. And I've always thought it would be a cool idea if BF randomly placed the flags before each round just to switch things up a little, especially on the larger maps. I could see it wouldn't work on smaller maps, but it could on the larger ones.
That's enough for now. 😁
