💔 The Fatal Disappointment of Battlefield 2042: A Game That Was Abandoned.
It is with a frustration bordering on indignation that I write about Battlefield 2042. More than a broken game, it has become proof that DICE changed everything we loved and, worse, lost focus on the product it sold to fans. • Gigantic and Empty Maps: They forced a scale of 128 players to fill the space, but what they achieved are long walks, punishing infantry gameplay, and the feeling that the map is only there to be used by vehicles. • The Technical Breakdown: the bugs persist. It is not uncommon for the game to completely freeze and close on its own in the middle of the action, frustrating the player and breaking tradition. But the hardest blow is the feeling of abandonment. Instead of returning and improving the flawed foundation of 2042, we had the clear feeling that the team quickly shifted focus to the development of the next title — the so-called “Battlefield 6”. The consumer of 2042 was left with a finished game. It's a betrayal of trust: we bought a product hoping to see it evolve, but it seems it was just a stepping stone for the next big project.

If you have a problem with the BF 2042 game then don’t play it or don’t buy it?
That’s your opinion ok! It all started out with BF5 when it was really bad. But overall BF 2042 was the #1 worst game in the franchise! If you are having a hard time understanding me then, I could fix it myself. I have a small ENG like it’s Problems like autism ok, it’s one of them too. My English it’s more American and British.
Sniping Is Broken in Battlefield 2042
Sniping in Battlefield 2042 just feels broken. Take the SWS-10 for example — it’s chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO, the same type of round used in real-world precision rifles that can absolutely drop a target from 800–1,000 meters with a single well-placed shot. That’s almost three football fields of distance where the bullet still carries enough energy to be lethal. Yet in the game, I’ll line up a perfect shot across these massive maps, hit the enemy dead-on, and it does laughable damage. Then the guy turns around, beams me with an M4A1 — a 5.56 assault rifle that realistically loses effectiveness past 500 meters — and I’m down in two or three hits. It makes no sense that a sniper rifle built for long-range dominance gets outgunned by a standard AR at extreme range. It kills the whole point of running a sniper in the first place.
False Ban after Playing Portal Mode - Loyal Player
Hello EA Community Team and fellow players, I am creating this post following a suggestion from EA Help support, as I am desperately seeking help regarding a false ban on my account. My Account Details: EA ID: MAX_Angelina EA Help Case Number: #221608365 The Situation: My account was banned on August 30, 2024, shortly after I played the Portal mode in Battlefield 2042. I have submitted two formal appeals through the official channel, but both were denied with a generic message stating I "engaged in cheating." Why I Believe This is a False Ban: I am confident that the ban was triggered by a misunderstanding. On the day of the ban, I was playing in a custom Portal mode server, primarily fighting against AI bots. During this session, I achieved a high number of kills (around 100-200). I believe the anti-cheat system may have flagged this legitimate gameplay against AI as suspicious activity. I want to emphasize that I have never used any cheat, hack, or unauthorized software. I have been a loyal fan of the Battlefield series for years and value fair play above all else. The idea of cheating is against everything I stand for as a player. What I've Done So Far: Appealed twice via the official dispute system. Spoke with a very helpful EA Help advisor named Manishka on September 12. She confirmed my details and escalated the case. The case status is now listed as "Waiting for Studio." I have been waiting patiently for over a week for an update from the studio team. I am now turning to the forum because I genuinely do not know what else to do. Having my account banned for simply enjoying the game as intended feels incredibly unfair. My Request: Could a Community Manager or someone from the DICE/EA team please take a look at my case (#221608365)? I am asking for a manual review of my game data, specifically focusing on my Portal mode session against AI on August 30. If I truly violated the rules, I would appreciate knowing the exact evidence. Thank you for your time and consideration. I truly hope to have this resolved and return to the battlefield fairly. Sincerely, Yang

I'm starting to become more and more untrusting of everything that comes from EA. I understand you're attempts to get rid of cheaters using secureboot in the new upcoming title. But now it has to be enabled for 2024 as well? I'm not purchasing BF6 as you're security requirements already send out a red flag, giving root access. But you're little scheme fried my ssd and nearly cooked my CPU. There's no way this game can fry a 9950x3d, but windows secureboot sure does the trick. But now I can't even play the game I've owned for years because you are now requiring the same root access. How about we start getting some refunds for these EA games that we can no longer play. You're already on the books with me for $230 for the ssd, now 2042 can get added. I know this won't go anywhere, but I'd like the other gamers here who spent money with EA see the sham that this company has become. To everyone else, I'd stay clear of giving EA root access, especially with all the new laws coming out of the EU pertaining to Safe Spaces online to include games.
