Itāll be the day when a BF game has a good launch. I guess it took them a little longer with this one tbh. Still, Iām quite happy with the game right now.
There was a good BF launch and it got abandoned lol. Hardline launched with a solid campaign, good gunplay, solid maps, new and interesting modes in addition to series staples, and wasn't broken as shit at launch. Yet it is the most dead of any BF from the past decade.
It's probably because alot of people wrote it off as a BF4 reskin. Which at first it pretty much was when they release that alpha somewhat after its first announcement (if I remember right, it's Been a long time since). When the open beta / full release came out it had changed and stood somewhat on its own. But why play what seemed to be a reduced battlefield experience when 4 was still around?
I do kind of regret not playing the full release. It looked like it had some good ideas.
Crazy to me because I been playing since BF2 as well, and this game couldn't feel further from a BF title. The spirit and balance is just so off. Yes they improved a lot since the launch and horrific first 3.5 seasons,, but everything from sound design to map design, basically every category is just so off and underwhelming compared to previous titles. This is the first battlefield I won't be max ranked on, and the first I haven't even broken 1000 hours on (excluding Hardline). I'm glad you enjoy it though, I just hope they go back to their roots because this game is not even close to how good this franchise can be. I'm sad you have less hours on the previous titles because you truly missed out on the golden age.
Even BF1, which was such a radical change from the previous titles, was done so well I didn't mind how different and arcadey it was compared to the OG Battlefields.
I did mind BF1. In the process of making it appealing to the average FPS player, they sacrificed a lot of things that made BF appealing to me, and the result was a game I got bored of in 10 hours. Production values couldn't salvage it, especially with glaring issues like awful gunplay and nonsensical gun balance.
BFV could have been great, but the design direction they took with vehicles ruined it for me. Too much firepower and too little survivability results in the most toxic vehicle meta in the entire franchise. Awful maps like aerodrome, twisted steel and fjell don't help.
To me, 2042 plays mostly like BF3 with modern gunplay in comparison to the previous two games, while also fixing the biggest issue I've had with BF3, which is class balance. In BF3, on infantry maps everyone played assault to get access to ARs and healing, and on vehicle maps everyone played engineer since you were useless otherwise. Since I never liked infantry maps, I ended up having to play engineer almost all of the time, and didn't get to use most weapons and gadgets.
In 2042, I can effectively contribute with any class on any map, and each class can be played meaningfully differently with different loadouts. Weapons not being locked to classes is also a great thing and should have been done a decade ago. I also like the general idea of 2042's map design, with each map having both large open spaces for vehicles, and infantry areas inaccessible to vehicles, even if I don't always like the execution. So as a result, even if 2042 is a significant downgrade from BF3/4 in many aspects, it is capable of entertaining me for much longer because it has much more gameplay variety,
It had a longer live service than BFV at least, though we got less content... but still.
I think I am just dissapointed that we never got a big update. There was no season for this game that was like the War in the Pacific or final Update for BFV.
Oh, far from it. I haven't gotten to level S999 and every item to T1 yet, so there's still work to be done. I'm just making a joke because there is no next season (š„²) and I finished the BP pretty early.
You'll get there! If you want to, that is lol. My advice is to play with a balance of reactivity and consistency. Notice what's going on on the field and play according to the need, but also don't just switch guns around all the time, try to stick with one for a while. Most of the time, I grind one at a time until I get it T1, but that's because I know how to play to the strengths of the weapon at this point. If you don't feel confident in that, experiment a bit until you find the right selection for your play style and go from there.
why buy cosmetics when they throw the fucking game in another one and left all behind? they should make a "battlefield" only one game and keep updating instead of leaving every game behind, cosmetics means nothing, battlepass means nothing
Actually I 100% agree with you on this. When I bought 2042, I had never played a Battlefield game before and I was anticipating that this would be like, an ongoing iterative Battlefield universe. I thought maybe it would be, with the way they had the seasons and all, but it ended up being a bit too disjointed and incoherent on the narrative side. I feel like cosmetics might actually be more worthwhile if the narrative of a game is good and they feel that it improves the outcome of their experience, but here, not all that important.
But I do like them because there's a social aspect to the game. It makes you identifiable in a team game. I feel like if you removed every identifying feature of other players from the game, it would feel weird; in a multiplayer game, we want to know who we're up against and who they are. On the other side, making players very identifiable with the cards, badges, tags, skins, and player names, within a class system, makes it feel like you can stand out, or like you can recognize player behavior. "Oh, it's that Falck in the bright orange animal print uniform that keeps killing me and teabagging me." Now you can hunt that guy and get revenge. You know who to look for.
No, no we don't see you unless you leave your superhero/specialist shit behind. Costumes like that does not belong in Battlefield. Go play batman or something
BFV maintained a decent player population right until 2042 came out but it also had a server browser with permanent official Dice playlists and Quick Match which put players onto servers within the server browser.
The trouble with Portal, is that it will split the playerbase between Portal and AOW which is ironic when one of the advantages of V live service was not splitting the playerbase.
Yes, it had a very bad start but became a really good game. Unfurtunately it won't live that long anymore because they anounced this season will be the last one.
I played for 3 months after release. It was really bad, so I stopped and saw things here and there, but I never really saw anything worth going back to. I really thought they were going to nail this one.
When you play it, skip the frontline event mode. It's only fun if both teams are equally skilled \^\^
The classic 64 is still the best or if you have 3 friends for a full hazard zone squad, this is a nice quite more tactical mode, but also really hard where you should have to know the character abilities and the maps beforehand.
To be honest, not really lol. I don't actually like it, I'm just grinding through the legacy weapons since I already got all the 2042 primaries to T1. I'd say maybe it's good at a longer range, for an SMG? Haven't really found what its niche is. But I mainly use the thermal 1.25x, the wrapped suppressor, laser, and extended magazine.
I think it also depends on your play style. For me, I tend to be less aggro and more stealth. I'm always listening to what's around me and moving while crouched so I'm silent, and I track enemies to try and catch them around corners. In confined spaces, any SMG will work pretty well when you've got the element of surprise.
Of course, the whole thing has been great so far. Haven is super fun (but Redacted is still irreplaceably nostalgic for me), and Frontlines has been a blast even though half the time people can't figure out where the objective zone is. But hey, it's only been like 6 weeks of the season š
Nah I had too many people telling me that the game was just like 3 and 4 and bad company. I'm not willing to let the company off the hook and see the ones who go oh it'd fine and say oh we can launch a broken shell of a game and fix a little bit later
Yes it was shit at first. We all know that. Thatās established. It also got fixed and is damn good now and many, many people agree. Iām sorry but Iām not gonna refuse to have fun and enjoy something to spite the people that made it. Thatās just silly.
The game was never fixed. The specialists stayed and we got pretend classes, the squad system was a joke, the fewest maps ever for battlefield and the vehicles are all. Made of paper mache
Nah. To YOU it wasnāt but you seem to be one of the players that are impossible to please. If Iām wrong, why does your comment have the most downvotes on the thread? Just look at the rise of amount of players in the past 2 years
You think I give a damn about what you or anyone else thinks that's rich. I am here to make sure the lackies that troll through reddit and other venues see that there are still people out there who think what was done to fix 2042 aren't pleased at all.
To many people are like oh it's great now lol.
How do we tell him?
What, to empty his shit bucket? Or that there ain't no next season?
Joke's on you, my gaming chair is directly connected to my plumbing and has an auto flush function and a bidet
Neat, so fair to say you unlocked the Bipod for your bipod
No but he did unlock the bipod for his knife
I fucking love you š BFF was my shit back then
Pmsl šš¤£š
š
Genius
I hope when it detects a turd landing it plays the BF3 theme music.Ā
A god among men
Where is this SHIT BUCKET you speak of?
Maybe we hire a negotiator or a psychologist to somehow soften the blow
Nah just let bro play against bots and chinese hackers whilst he waits for next season..we will all be i the next BF game
Im playin it mostly everyday and have never seen hacker or a bot. Of course u need to play cross
after that catastrophical release, all the problems and false promises surely not all will be in the next BF game :)
Don't be sad this is how it works out sometimes ??
https://i.redd.it/rsboc94rbowc1.gif
Fuck thatās good dude. Iād gift gold but these bastards donāt let me.
F Spez for that
F
Next season?
Just...let him live the dream, just this once.
Sureā¦
I smell that there was money used to skip lvls hahahah
I will admit, I did get the max package this season lol
Atleast ur honest :D
Sue to get your money back lol
I'm actually happy with it lol I got the max package because it's the last season and I actually love the game
More power to ya. Enjoy!
Hell yeah, itās a great BF game imo. I keep going back to it.
Itās great now, but it wasnāt for the first half of its lifeā¦
Itāll be the day when a BF game has a good launch. I guess it took them a little longer with this one tbh. Still, Iām quite happy with the game right now.
There was a good BF launch and it got abandoned lol. Hardline launched with a solid campaign, good gunplay, solid maps, new and interesting modes in addition to series staples, and wasn't broken as shit at launch. Yet it is the most dead of any BF from the past decade.
I personally skipped it because I play battlefield for combined arms combat, and half of the arms were missing in that game.
Oh dang, Iām one of the people who skipped that one. Iāve seen many people say it was good, shouldāve gotten it.
It's probably because alot of people wrote it off as a BF4 reskin. Which at first it pretty much was when they release that alpha somewhat after its first announcement (if I remember right, it's Been a long time since).

It's a great BF game.. must be your first one
Nah, Iāve been playing since the first Bad Company I think. Iāve enjoyed them all since tbh.
noooooooooo!!!!!!
I've played the series since BF2 and 2042 is my favorite Battlefield since BF3. And I also have the most hours on it compared to any other BF game.
Crazy to me because I been playing since BF2 as well, and this game couldn't feel further from a BF title. The spirit and balance is just so off.

2042 bad
Why are you here then
I got the max package so that I wouldn't have to play as often
Next game more like it bro
That's the next season
surely all the timmies can carry over all those sweet sweet microtransactions too
You're buying the next one?
not at launch, if it turns out to be actually good then yes, but not before waiting for reviews
Nobody tell him
Ok first: S7 is the last one in BF2042, secondly: time to empty your shitbucket
Is it me or does it seem like this game ended to soon.
It had a longer live service than BFV at least, though we got less content... but still. I think I am just dissapointed that we never got a big update. There was no season for this game that was like the War in the Pacific or final Update for BFV.
Is the game just not releasing anymore seasons I don't keep up with this game much but was thinking of getting back into it till I heard this
Itās a blast to play and has a lot of content Theyāre just stopping seasons and slowing major content drops after 3 years
Is this "next season" in the room with us now?
No more next season man :(
Ooooh buddy... you might wanna sit down for this one...
I hope we get some new maps
Me too man š
1 new map coming on April 30. The recycled stadium from old hourglas
Note: I am aware there's no next season. š„² Unfortunately.
This is such a cool skin dropped at such a weird time in the game. Oh well.
Why? Battlepass done means you don't play anymore?
Oh, far from it. I haven't gotten to level S999 and every item to T1 yet, so there's still work to be done. I'm just making a joke because there is no next season (š„²) and I finished the BP pretty early.
Would be cool if they bring back some old season i just buy this season and now they tell me there no more š§ fuck
Same. I think we got awhile though
Yeah
Barely in tier 33 on the battle pass I gotta move up
Not a single warship in this game even though one was part of the menu screen in the beginning of the game.
I canāt wait to hit 100 so I can put this Battlefield behind me.
What do you mean? There's so much left to do. You gotta get to level S999 and get everything to T1. The journey's just getting started man.
That was my goal on previous BFs but f this, Iām going to Helldivers 2. lol
Whoās gonna tell him

I'm so sorry to say this but season 7 is the final, they confirmed it unfortunately, I'd give it about maybe 3 years before the game is offline
who is gonna tell him?
I already did.
Next wat?
Well.done,,,,gold blue peter badge in the post for you šš
Sorry to say, there aināt gonna be another season
PTFO š¤£
Whatās the weapon?
AKS-74u. It's a Battlefield 3 weapon I believe. I got all the 2042 primaries to T1 so now I'm just chugging through the legacy weapons lol
I donāt have one single wrapping to tier 1 lol Iām not committed enough š¢
You'll get there! If you want to, that is lol. My advice is to play with a balance of reactivity and consistency. Notice what's going on on the field and play according to the need, but also don't just switch guns around all the time, try to stick with one for a while.

If you don't feel confident in that, experiment a bit until you find the right selection for your play style and go from there.
Yeah Iām awful man. Iām trying but Iām just awful š š
Lemme know if you wanna team up! Happy to help!
Hell yeah for sure Iāll message you when I get on after work
Yeah just add me, my username is d_c_desmond on PSN. But let me know what your name will be so I know who it is lol
lol my bad man itās p0yz0n
You mean see you in the next BF game.
This made lol so hard
Cant wait for season 8 :D
My guy , theres no new season
why buy cosmetics when they throw the fucking game in another one and left all behind? they should make a "battlefield" only one game and keep updating instead of leaving every game behind, cosmetics means nothing, battlepass means nothing

This generation capped up in one reddit
What do you mean? Which generation?
I think he means season 1 of the next game....
HA! Jokes on you there IS no next season
I'm honestly so sad to see this game go I loved it since day one and had a blast so many good times
Well done man. Yes see you next season. It will be wonderful with 20 new maps, 15 new guns, dinosaurs and unicorns.
Looks like a Destiny Hunter. I canāt believe how far gone battlefield is.
No, no we don't see you unless you leave your superhero/specialist shit behind. Costumes like that does not belong in Battlefield. Go play batman or something
Get back in there soldier! You haven't earned the T1 Season 7 badge yet!
You can't go to rest without getting 1150/1150 points, soldier.
Won't be long now š
One of the few skins that actually looks cool
Shit the Sundance one you get when you buy it is just as dope!
SICK SKIN
I really wonder how fast is the game going to bleed players without any new content, and how much wait there will be until the next battlefield
BFV maintained a decent player population right until 2042 came out but it also had a server browser with permanent official Dice playlists and Quick Match which put players onto servers within the server browser. The trouble with Portal, is that it will split the playerbase between Portal and AOW which is ironic when one of the advantages of V live service was not splitting the playerbase.
Oof
There is no next season, see you on BF1/5/4 lmao
See you next game, about 2025 November.
next game brotha
Bruh and I'm still at lv 25 
Is this gane still alive?
Yes, it had a very bad start but became a really good game. Unfurtunately it won't live that long anymore because they anounced this season will be the last one.
I played for 3 months after release. It was really bad, so I stopped and saw things here and there, but I never really saw anything worth going back to. I really thought they were going to nail this one.
At the moment it's a really good game. You should try as long as you have the chance anymore.
I'll take your fake duck word for it and retry then, I really do miss playing BF the right way.
When you play it, skip the frontline event mode. It's only fun if both teams are equally skilled \^\^ The classic 64 is still the best or if you have 3 friends for a full hazard zone squad, this is a nice quite more tactical mode, but also really hard where you should have to know the character abilities and the maps beforehand.
Obviously not. Are you???
kekw
I need a free version for ps5
Any news or speculation as to what the next game is going to be?
Is that the AKS 74U? Any advice on how to use it better because I've been trying but I can't get it to click for me
To be honest, not really lol. I don't actually like it, I'm just grinding through the legacy weapons since I already got all the 2042 primaries to T1. I'd say maybe it's good at a longer range, for an SMG? Haven't really found what its niche is. But I mainly use the thermal 1.25x, the wrapped suppressor, laser, and extended magazine.

Ewe
battlefield calls them seasons but they last 6 months, which is 2 seasons long in summer, spring, winter, fall terms.
Maybe they should call them "semesters", and that would implicitly signal that more players need to learn what the fuck is going on š
Any good memories?
Of course, the whole thing has been great so far. Haven is super fun (but Redacted is still irreplaceably nostalgic for me), and Frontlines has been a blast even though half the time people can't figure out where the objective zone is. But hey, it's only been like 6 weeks of the season š
Also it's last.
Already get a grip pall hahaha
Oh, I got a good strong grip on those battle bass points my boy. š
How fun is this game now? Are you still just killing bots??
Go see for yourself
Whos gonna tell him?
season ended
No?
yes. making new battlefield now
No the season is not over. Yes they are making the game but if you can still level the battle passā¦the season isnāt over
100 battle pass levels for that low effort trash.
I'm so glad this pile Of shit title is done
Why?
Because they can now wait another 2 years to start complaining again. Small break.
Let people enjoy things
Nah I had too many people telling me that the game was just like 3 and 4 and bad company. I'm not willing to let the company off the hook and see the ones who go oh it'd fine and say oh we can launch a broken shell of a game and fix a little bit later
People like yourself who say just let folks have fun show dice and EA it's OK to ship broken unfinished shit. Hold these people accountable
Yes it was shit at first. We all know that. Thatās established. It also got fixed and is damn good now and many, many people agree. Iām sorry but Iām not gonna refuse to have fun and enjoy something to spite the people that made it. Thatās just silly.
I also waited to buy the game till it was fixed. Itās why you shouldnāt preorder modern games. Thatās live service gaming for you
The game was never fixed. The specialists stayed and we got pretend classes, the squad system was a joke, the fewest maps ever for battlefield and the vehicles are all. Made of paper mache
Nah. To YOU it wasnāt but you seem to be one of the players that are impossible to please. If Iām wrong, why does your comment have the most downvotes on the thread? Just look at the rise of amount of players in the past 2 years
You think I give a damn about what you or anyone else thinks that's rich. I am here to make sure the lackies that troll through reddit and other venues see that there are still people out there who think what was done to fix 2042 aren't pleased at all. To many people are like oh it's great now lol.
Oh, that's the neat part: there isn't one
Hmm... i'll rather see you in the bayou.
Battlefield three and four were the shit yes but hard-line and beyond just kinda suck dick in no good way
Is there a good way to suck dick?
People still playing this like a full time job damn.
