Is just got it on black Friday deal and love playing it. But I personally played BF4 for the longest and then took a 4 year break from gaming ( had a girlfriend )
You must be new to Battlefield. I found BF2 back in 2007 and fell in love and been playing ever since. But I know better not to buy games like Battlefield when they first launch. It takes them sometimes up to 2 years to make them feel really good. So I'm usually 2 years behind on bf games. That way I can get away with using a lower end GPU like the 70Ti series. I usually upgrade my GPU and system about every 2-3 years with a 70Ti series NVIDIA card so i can play on high settings. I'd love to get the 4080, but wtf.. $1,200? Smh at Nvidia 😮.
The higher up who decided the direction of battlefield forgot the fact that we play battlefield not only because of the destruction but also the fact we are part of a millitary force not special ops shenanigan like cod.
No one ever played bf for being part of a military force lmaoooo.. If you asked bf fans why they play bf back in the day it was because of - large open maps - large player counts - destruction - vehicle warfare Period...
@@gamingeuphoria7928 yeah bro, but that's all within the context of being "grounded" millitary warfare. """grounded"""". If you make a battlefield game with large maps, player counts and vehicle warfare BUT you control aliens in a intergalactic war.......... nobody's going to call that battlfield. So what the fuck are u talking about
@@caioferreiraperesdearaujo7442 that is where you get wrong kiddo because BATTLEFRONT back on its day was always refered as BATTLEFIELD clone but set with Star Wars... gosh even the name was kinda copied, and you make a game like that back on its day and decade later the OWN Battlefield devs worked on a Battlefield like, battlefield mechanics, battlefield core game loop,... but in a Star Wars setting... calling again BATTLEFRONT
I'm betting its because it was made to fit a battle royale play style, think apex legend's colourful look with warzone's weapons and animations(which they failed in both either way)
@@forrandomsites3336yep it was originally going to be a battle Royale. But they tried to change it mid way. Because lead dev said it would loose customers.
I think because alot of areas feel like they are semi built up, and then nothing between that and the next POI. Other BF had many other things in between POIs without massive open spaces. Nothing feels like it's cohesive too, only a few maps feel like it has cohesion, but mostly because of no destruction and how spaced things are it just feels like mini movie sets like you said. Playing BC2 maps on 2042 shows how incredible it is because of the foliage and how many random things are on the map that fill it up.
I still prefer BF5 or BF1, as do many other people these days. Deep down I wish they'd just continue updating BF5 again, but sadly know it's never going to happen.
@@MrSaviorHD Nothing more stylish than robotic disabled cricket bat woman in your WW2 game. BF V was the worst mainline Battlefield game...until 2042. At least BF V is functional, even if the only good parts are the holdovers of the formula from past entries.
I play on Xbox Series X and love this game. Just started playing recently and it’s been great. The only thing that sucks is when your team is a bunch of uncoordinated players who aren’t paying attention, don’t work together and you get rolled.
Can't get into this game anymore. It disappointed me too much. It's the last game I ever pre-purchased and taught me a lesson to never pre-purchase anything ever again. Huge mistake and it was insanely expensive.
Bro pre ordering is a scam, the reason you pre order was back in the day when stores only had a limited amount in stock. But you can download games without ever worrying about being sold out.
Your mistake was purchasing the game from EA to begin with. The stuff like the EA pass, you should never ever buy anything from them again. Rent it and dispose of it when done. Anything they produce, no matter how good you think it is, should be discarded like used tissue or toilet paper.
Played it now mid 2024, worth playing now for sure. Especially if you get it from Game Pass AND don’t play as if it’s COD - Then you’ll die over and over. Think tactical, be patient and play with friends. Superfun 🎉
I’m amazed people still preordered this game after the beta. I’m a huge battlefield fan but as soon as I was done with one match of 2042 in the beta I deleted it and uninstalled. Sad to see battlefield go this way after I sunk a bunch of time in BC2, BF3,4 and 1.
BattleFront 2 is the SW game every fan ever wanted.... But they abandoned it marketing wise & content wise and now most game modes are empty. It's a shame because if this game was release in this state today with good marketing, the same game could be in the most played among the recent titles out there. Whoever is leading EA just want quick money grabs instead of actually investing in their products and do even more money on the long term... But no, some money quick is better than much more money over a few years for them it seems smh
The game is finally what it should have been at launch, but the main thing I hate about this battle field is the specialist and maps. Specialist does not fit in Battlefield, maybe a spin off game of Battlefield, but not in the main game. Most of the Maps are terrible also, no destruction and also way too big with low amount of cover.
Honestly I don’t think I want to give them another chance just on principle. There are a lot of games these days that ship horribly and eventually get better. The thing is there are other companies working hard too that are able to deliver and even if they aren’t they same type of game, I’d rather show them support than these big major companies that continue to take advantage over the years. I do appreciate the review by the way. The more I thought about it the more I realized I’ll just play Battlebit if I want a BF like experience because I think that game is pretty fun as well.
Great review! I'm more worried about the future of Battlefield than Halo right now, but they're very different games. The push for "big team battles" like 64 v 64 has never been a pull for me, but the size is one of the major standouts for Battlefield games. I prefer the smaller lobby games, but when Battlefield is hitting at its best, your squad fills that role, and I can focus on just the group I'm spawning on (and reviving). If you like bigger lobbies, there's also the issue of actually filling those lobbies, which very few games can sustain. I wonder how games like Battle Bit are doing on player count now that we're a few months out from their launch. Thanks for making me think about Battlefield for the first time in over a year though, and in a video that takes less than 1 match would to see if it's worth trying again!
Love the game, but I only just picked it up. If it weren’t for the gluttony of riches we had with the glory era (BF3 - BF1) this would probably be my favorite shooter ever, but it feels barebones compared to past titles, even if it’s an amazingly fun time. It needs more though; naval warfare, more 64 player focused maps, more fronts, etc. Amazing time, but a sad state of affairs first a Battlefield game simultaneously.
You have filled the hole left in my life by finishing all of Mandalore Gaming's content in three weeks, thank you for that 🤣 hopefully you have a shorter turn around on video releases lol
Thank you for taking the time and effort to showcase whether or not this is worth going back to, appreciate the effort. My Hard-Pass-Ometre is still reading 100. Plus...Helldivers 2 exists.
Been playing since launch. Left after seasom one. I came back on season 3, and it is my most played game. While it isn't BF4 ( still the best one in my opinion) it is a Battlefield game. Battlefield is my favorite multi-player series.
Thanks for doing this update. I find myself soured by the games nowadays and I’m wanting to come back. Just a little hesitant at how bad I’ll be let down.
Battlebit died off due to the devs, Lethal Company the dev updated the game once and then announced he was ditching it, and Baldur's Gate 3 has nothing to do with this.
I actually enjoy the fact that they polish the game up and then move on from it, I like the state all prior battlefield games are in (even 5) and I still play them to this day.
@samyb2834 I'm having fun so far in portal mode. 5 dollars, play it for an hour or two and see if you want a refund or not. Or use the five dollars for cold bottle of Dr. Pepper
This game is so fun now. I've been playin for the last couple months and have been greatly enjoying it. This game deserves way more love rn esp when r6 siege is full of cheaters and bo6 is crap
Wasn’t about the bugs. This game was DOA the moment they announced specialists & no campaign. I loved BF4 the night it released and still do. People are fed up with the soulless online-only bullshit and skins. And I’m saying this as somebody who purchased 2042 knowing the reputation it had and was willing to defend it. Compared to previous titles, it’s awful.
Ive been reminiscing on the amazing times ive had with BF3 and BF4 lately and wanted to rekindle that experience. I think i will give 2042 a shot after this video, thank you
I'm missing battlefield 3 :( Just saw this on sale for 5 euro's, think im going to buy it and try it thanks to your video & the 3 months of playing it ;)
I feel like when my dad got this game on launch I played it with him and was very disappointed because I kept seeing people climbing walls with hovercrafts which while funny not physically possible.
I used to be alot into shooters as a kid. I played the old Battlefields (Vietnam being my fav), several versions of Counter Strike, the Conflict series, Medal of Honor, SOCOM, Resistance, Quake Wars, Killzone etc. Recently Ive been looking into shooters to play, from Tarkov and Arena Breakout to CoD Warzone and PUBG. I havent tried BF2042 but ive been playing BF5 since yesterday, and you know what i think? Even though theres some fun shooters around, FPS peaked in the PS3/360 era (including PC releases), specifically with ARMA and MAG. Are there fun games around? Sure, you can sink a bunch of hours into CoD, Enlisted, Planetside, BF, Apex or whatever, but none of those are on the same level
Short answer, nope! Most play modes are completely dead...unable to find players to start a match, or it's half-filled with AI. For a cross-play game, that's rather telling about real-world player numbers. The maps are overwhelmingly shit, there's no teamwor (specialists who can pick any weapons/loadout have ruined that), and it's a very underwhelming experience compared to any other BF release. Janky, half-arsed, tried to do too much and did it all badly, and I'll be glad to be rid of this version to be perfectly honest.
IMO the people still playing are positive about 2042. But 90% left long time ago. It was and still is a huge flop. Its obviously way better then at launch, but still trash. Bad maps, almost no destruction, looks and feels souless and like a mobile game. I despise BFV, but even that game is more BF than BF2042 and that's insane!
I received this game free on Playstation Plus. Years after the updates and improvements. The game is great! The best part there is bots in the game. This is the first Battlefield game to have bots on conquest and breakthrough modes. I love it! Thank you EA you did us right with adding bots to the game.
EA login with in-game progression save across multiple platforms is WHAT WE NEED FOR THE FUTURE! It's literally why I'll never stop playing, I'll never lose my progress. 🔥🔥 Game is still amazing on PS4 & PS5. I've played on both. Biggest difference is speed & loading between games. (Which is great.)
"Tried something new" It copied popular design trends without innovating them in any ways or making them work for what the series was. Titanfall tried something new. The Finals tried something new. Things like Apex or Halo 5 followed popular trends but iterated on them in new ways. Battlefield 2042 just copied things
I bought it 3 months ago I was avoiding it because it was horrible, till I watched a TH-cam video about the best sittings I just followed the instructions and it became my favorite game now over Call of Duty
As a genuine fan who's been playing since bf4, I gotta say they really turned 2042 around for the better. It just goes to show that people want a more classic feeling battlefield, and they definitely botched their reputation at launch even though the game is playable now
Just bought it with the steam summer sale about 15 days ago, and I feel like this is exactly what I needed, having a break of Apex Legends and looking for a fun, casual and engaging fps, this is my way to go For a fact not the best battlefield, but I'm having a fckn great casual experience
I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but they should have continued with developing Hazard Zone and tied the story of Battlefield 2042 within it in some way. For example, make specific missions in Hazard Zone for every player which they can complete, but they have to not get squad wiped and have to extract for it to count as completed.
I really hope they pay attention to the or customers and add a story mode in the next one. I played story more than multiplayer, and look how amazing Battlefield 1 was.
I love the Battlefield series and I gave 2042 so many chances. The beta, pre ordering and trying to stick with this “new” direction for the classes. After some time I gave up on the game, it never felt like a Battlefield game. It’s been about 6 months since i played last and 4 months since i deleted it off my console. I hope they make an actual Battlefield next and not continue this ridiculous trend following malarkey.
I started playing it a few months ago and its a great game, i dont have other battlefields to compare it to but its such a fun game and I love futuristic stuff like this, but the half baked then move on is very annoying
The thing is that Triple-A game titles SHOULD NOT be nearly unplayable at launch and not have to wait years just to enjoy the game. It may be good now, but it should've been that way, WHEN IT LAUNCHED. There's just no excuse.
Ironically, hazard zone wasn’t a tacked on game mode at all. When 2042 started development, hazard zone was going to be the entirety of the game. It leaked that the next BF title was going to be a BR/extraction shooter and no one likes the idea. So they built all out war and portal as an afterthought. Hence why all 3 modes sucked so much on release.
This comment is 6 months from the videos release. I have played the game entirely on its PS4 version sinking over 100hrs into the game. Positives 1. Gun and gunplay feels great 2. The weapon saw feature is by far there best added to the game 3. Graphics feel pretty good, and maps look over nice 4. The feeling of hopping in and just playing Battlefield is definitely there (casual fun) 5. Portal actually being a saviour to find lobbies or XP grind Negatives 1. EA tried to add to much with this game and it really affects it -Hazard Zone being dead or really hard to get lobbies more than 12 in some regions - Consoles being locked from playing with one another (yes PS4 and PS5 can’t even play with each other, I have tried) - The hero class shooter idea (not bad but not needed) 2. Not following through with the lore of the game 3. The Platinum trophy experience (3/10, if you go for trophies you know) 4. Destruction in the game 5. Invites and friends system 6. Being able to play in other servers easily like in other games (this is possible in portal or if you invite people from other regions to play. However, what I mean is the independently findings a game that would be in another region, look at how you searched for games in BFV and you will get what I mean by joining games in other regions) Take away the game is in a much better state but should have been released like this from the start which in turn, hampered the games potential. Overall I give Battlefield 2042 6.5/10 Is it worth getting yes but only when on sale. You can definitely still have fun casually playing the game and if you are on PS5, PC or Xbox Series X it may be even better experience for you.
I hopped back in recently and the bf3 and 4 grounded vibe is very real. The gunplay is snappy and smooth i get like 100+ fps on a very mid system and it doesn't have as many sht talking 12 year old sweats like cod.
well i like battlefield 3 because of good story, but i am concidering getting this version of battlefield and i think i will buy it and try it on my own, i love battlefield more than other shooter games.
That's the difficulty of filling larger lobbies when the choices are either give them AI to kill while filling the game, or make people wait 5-10 minutes for a lobby to potentially never fill.
Ya the AI is a bit annoying. Cause what’s the point right? Eventually the lobbies do fill, and I guess I would rather start playing and get warmed up instead of waiting.
I remember playing bf1 first night after grabbing it from GameStop on pre order. Was so much fun watching the behemoth fall down after half the lobby was shooting at it. I myself was using artillery gun hahaha idk battlefield now just feels so not battlefield. I see clips of dudes flying on a wing suit killing 80 people with one mag and just seems not even close to realistic. Bf3 I felt like I was legit in the army or something same for bf1. Bf5 is cool but I remember when they used a girl as the cover and that just rubbed me wrong and nobody cared about bf5 the campaign was lackluster except the German tiger mission I liked that
I bought it at launch for full price, I was very disappointed... I put in like 5 hours today. But I'm a Battlefield fan boy, and own the entire series on PC other than Hardline as that entry was a hardleft from the normal Battlefield.
ngl, i really enjoy the current state of 2042, its a huge improvement from the launch, give it a go definitely. I agree that the maps could be better, however if your into sci fi and futuristic games, this is up there ngl
This video aged well 🤣 Left this game a few weeks after the release. Named my garbage folder on my pc "BF2024" and un-installed this mess of a game. I got hopes for the next Battlefield tho.
Definitely agree, wait for the game to be on sale and get it. Definitely fun but not worth the full price (I preordered it even after seeing the “BETA” 😂 thinking they ironed out the flaws)
I'm sorry, did the rocket launchers actually kill somebody on direct contact? What the fuck? Why do every fucking directions from rocket launchers I should always end up taking only a quarter of their health? Why the fuck is a rocket launcher not killing enemies? The more I play this game, the more I'm grateful I never grow up with the battlefield franchise. Before anybody says I probably would feel different if I tried the previous battlefields, no I wouldn't. The only ones I regret missing out on was bad company 1 and 2. The rest, I'm forever grateful I missed out on.
Ive been there throughout the game's entire lifecycle. 800 Hours accumulated, quit playing regulary around the release of the last season. In short: No, its not worth playing, even after all the fixes. Longer version: Everything DICE and EA put out is bottom of the barrel, bare minimum effort. The only reason the game wasnt cancelled outright is because they'd get a class-action lawsuit for doing that. It took DICE 2 years to fix some of the FUNDAMENTAL issues with the game, most of the "fixes" in question being more comparable to bandaid being put on a gaping wound than an actual cure to the game's problems. Specialists were doubled down upon, even though they DID end up grouped into a class system. The content for each season was abysmally low effort. The Events were boring and most of the time even unplayable. Gunplay remains awful, even after all the reworks. The map reworks themselves didnt really fix them, only made them "playable". The only map worth playing is Redacted. The game was ambitious indeed, and would've loved to see the idea of Battlefield Portal live up to its potential, but i will not be returning to 2042. And i won't preorder the next Battlefield game. Hell, I won't buy it if it isnt a worthy apology for the atrocious fuck-up that we were given in 2021.
And for the record: DICE is just as much to blame as EA. Sure, the higher-ups decided the direction, but the Developers still MADE AN AWFUL GAME EITHER WAY. They messed up as a team, and we shouldnt take the developers of this mess into our arms and treat them like innocent little babies. They clearly had enough time to fix the game up in the past two years, and guess what? Its still an awful game. Even if there was no time crunch and misdirection, i doubt the current generation of DICE devs would've been competent enough to put out something good.
Biggest diservice EA and DICE could do to gaming community and battlefield fans was pulling the plug on BFV. That game stood the test of time and dice still decided to abandon it.
Specialists were the dumbest idea they could have made. Taking a tried and true system like classes and throwing it in the gutter really showed me where their priorities were: Call of Duty Operators. And operator skins. Not to mention how even this revamped system they did later on of combining specialists and classes isnt that great. Also the Plus system. That one sucks too.
I really like Battlefield 2042 and think its one of the best FPS on the market currently. And a lot of people don't see how the new Delta Force game is literally identical - so it must have stuck a cord because Delta Force is getting great reviews from the beta testers currently.
Dare I put another couple hours into the game?
And has anyone else recently played this game? What are your thoughts?

I played this pretty early on and I love it! It’s my go to multiplayer fps, it’s goody and chaotic in a good way.
That's the point, BF was never meant to be goofy. It's not Fortnite
If you like 2042, I highly recommend you pick up bf1. It still holds up, and is the best game of the franchise. (In my opinion).

As far as I'm aware to this day theres a bug that breaks all controls if you use USB headphones.
Payed 130$ for it and pre-ordered. never again.
Tried this yesterday for the first time in a while. My solo experience was like playing cod shipment with 128 players. Not fun.
Been playing since launch. Left after seasom one. I came back on season 3, and it is my most played game. While it isn't BF4 ( still the best one in my opinion) it is a Battlefield game. Battlefield is my favorite multi-player series.
Thanks for doing this update. I find myself soured by the games nowadays and I’m wanting to come back. Just a little hesitant at how bad I’ll be let down.
10:48 ironic you included battlebit considering it died as well (partly due to the mod team, which everyone saw coming but let happen anyways).
Battlebit died off due to the devs, Lethal Company the dev updated the game once and then announced he was ditching it, and Baldur's Gate 3 has nothing to do with this.
You know Battlefield is down bad when the nostalgia of BF1’s epic soundtrack overshadows the game you’re actually speaking about.
I actually enjoy the fact that they polish the game up and then move on from it, I like the state all prior battlefield games are in (even 5) and I still play them to this day.
5 dollars on steam rn until November 11th 2024
Is is even worth it at this price lmao?
@samyb2834 I'm having fun so far in portal mode. 5 dollars, play it for an hour or two and see if you want a refund or not. Or use the five dollars for cold bottle of Dr. Pepper
@@virtues487 Ahaha good stuff
@@samyb2834 pick up literally any other bf game
Thank you!! Great video dude
This game is so fun now. I've been playin for the last couple months and have been greatly enjoying it. This game deserves way more love rn esp when r6 siege is full of cheaters and bo6 is crap
when i saw this guy had 70.3k sub i was suprised it should be like 20 mil subs
everybody are just fucking crying. stop. bf4 was so fucking broken on launch but still alive till this day.
Wasn’t about the bugs. This game was DOA the moment they announced specialists & no campaign. I loved BF4 the night it released and still do. People are fed up with the soulless online-only bullshit and skins. And I’m saying this as somebody who purchased 2042 knowing the reputation it had and was willing to defend it. Compared to previous titles, it’s awful.
watching this video now it’s kinda crazy to see he was right about them abandoning it after finally doing right with it
I freaking LOVE this game's soundtrack, probably my favorite in games.
Ive been reminiscing on the amazing times ive had with BF3 and BF4 lately and wanted to rekindle that experience. I think i will give 2042 a shot after this video, thank you
No problem gamer!
Very solid review, thank U! :)
No problem!
I'm missing battlefield 3 :( Just saw this on sale for 5 euro's, think im going to buy it and try it thanks to your video & the 3 months of playing it ;)
This is why I was upset about people complaining about the game but they never tried it again it doesn’t make sense
I feel like when my dad got this game on launch I played it with him and was very disappointed because I kept seeing people climbing walls with hovercrafts which while funny not physically possible.
7:24 thank you buddy
I wish someone other than EA would make us a true battlefield game.
Started playing again this month. I can positively say this game is fun if you like big scale war.
I used to be alot into shooters as a kid. I played the old Battlefields (Vietnam being my fav), several versions of Counter Strike, the Conflict series, Medal of Honor, SOCOM, Resistance, Quake Wars, Killzone etc. Recently Ive been looking into shooters to play, from Tarkov and Arena Breakout to CoD Warzone and PUBG.
I havent tried BF2042 but ive been playing BF5 since yesterday, and you know what i think?
Even though theres some fun shooters around, FPS peaked in the PS3/360 era (including PC releases), specifically with ARMA and MAG.
Are there fun games around? Sure, you can sink a bunch of hours into CoD, Enlisted, Planetside, BF, Apex or whatever, but none of those are on the same level
Short answer, nope! Most play modes are completely dead...unable to find players to start a match, or it's half-filled with AI. For a cross-play game, that's rather telling about real-world player numbers. The maps are overwhelmingly shit, there's no teamwor (specialists who can pick any weapons/loadout have ruined that), and it's a very underwhelming experience compared to any other BF release. Janky, half-arsed, tried to do too much and did it all badly, and I'll be glad to be rid of this version to be perfectly honest.
IMO the people still playing are positive about 2042. But 90% left long time ago. It was and still is a huge flop. Its obviously way better then at launch, but still trash. Bad maps, almost no destruction, looks and feels souless and like a mobile game. I despise BFV, but even that game is more BF than BF2042 and that's insane!
I received this game free on Playstation Plus. Years after the updates and improvements. The game is great! The best part there is bots in the game. This is the first Battlefield game to have bots on conquest and breakthrough modes. I love it! Thank you EA you did us right with adding bots to the game.
Couldn't agree more!
EA login with in-game progression save across multiple platforms is WHAT WE NEED FOR THE FUTURE!
It's literally why I'll never stop playing, I'll never lose my progress. 🔥🔥
Game is still amazing on PS4 & PS5. I've played on both. Biggest difference is speed & loading between games. (Which is great.)
"Tried something new"
It copied popular design trends without innovating them in any ways or making them work for what the series was.
Titanfall tried something new. The Finals tried something new. Things like Apex or Halo 5 followed popular trends but iterated on them in new ways. Battlefield 2042 just copied things
Here is your well deserved: Thank you! :D
thank you for your sacrifice
I do what I can
I lost the ability to trust because of this game
maybe you have trust issues
i feel you
I bought it 3 months ago I was avoiding it because it was horrible, till I watched a TH-cam video about the best sittings I just followed the instructions and it became my favorite game now over Call of Duty
1:50
me when
me when
A guy pulls down his pants
As a genuine fan who's been playing since bf4, I gotta say they really turned 2042 around for the better. It just goes to show that people want a more classic feeling battlefield, and they definitely botched their reputation at launch even though the game is playable now
Just bought it with the steam summer sale about 15 days ago, and I feel like this is exactly what I needed, having a break of Apex Legends and looking for a fun, casual and engaging fps, this is my way to go
For a fact not the best battlefield, but I'm having a fckn great casual experience
I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but they should have continued with developing Hazard Zone and tied the story of Battlefield 2042 within it in some way. For example, make specific missions in Hazard Zone for every player which they can complete, but they have to not get squad wiped and have to extract for it to count as completed.
I really hope they pay attention to the or customers and add a story mode in the next one. I played story more than multiplayer, and look how amazing Battlefield 1 was.
I love the Battlefield series and I gave 2042 so many chances. The beta, pre ordering and trying to stick with this “new” direction for the classes. After some time I gave up on the game, it never felt like a Battlefield game. It’s been about 6 months since i played last and 4 months since i deleted it off my console.
I hope they make an actual Battlefield next and not continue this ridiculous trend following malarkey.
I started playing it a few months ago and its a great game, i dont have other battlefields to compare it to but its such a fun game and I love futuristic stuff like this, but the half baked then move on is very annoying
its fun people are just crying. Most things are fixed, its a bit faster paste than previous onces its still good
The thing is that Triple-A game titles SHOULD NOT be nearly unplayable at launch and not have to wait years just to enjoy the game. It may be good now, but it should've been that way, WHEN IT LAUNCHED. There's just no excuse.
I cant wait until its 2042 and everyones gonna be like “Playing Battlefield 2042 in 2042!“ lol yall better pin this comment in 20 years when it is
Ironically, hazard zone wasn’t a tacked on game mode at all. When 2042 started development, hazard zone was going to be the entirety of the game. It leaked that the next BF title was going to be a BR/extraction shooter and no one likes the idea. So they built all out war and portal as an afterthought. Hence why all 3 modes sucked so much on release.
This comment is 6 months from the videos release.
I have played the game entirely on its PS4 version sinking over 100hrs into the game.
Positives
1. Gun and gunplay feels great
2. The weapon saw feature is by far there best added to the game
3. Graphics feel pretty good, and maps look over nice
4. The feeling of hopping in and just playing Battlefield is definitely there (casual fun)
5. Portal actually being a saviour to find lobbies or XP grind
Negatives
1. EA tried to add to much with this game and it really affects it
-Hazard Zone being dead or really hard to get lobbies more than 12 in some regions
- Consoles being locked from playing with one another (yes PS4 and PS5 can’t even play with each other, I have tried)
- The hero class shooter idea (not bad but not needed)
2. Not following through with the lore of the game
3. The Platinum trophy experience (3/10, if you go for trophies you know)
4. Destruction in the game
5. Invites and friends system
6. Being able to play in other servers easily like in other games (this is possible in portal or if you invite people from other regions to play. However, what I mean is the independently findings a game that would be in another region, look at how you searched for games in BFV and you will get what I mean by joining games in other regions)
Take away the game is in a much better state but should have been released like this from the start which in turn, hampered the games potential.
Overall I give Battlefield 2042 6.5/10
Is it worth getting yes but only when on sale. You can definitely still have fun casually playing the game and if you are on PS5, PC or Xbox Series X it may be even better experience for you.
Great video!
Thanks!
Thank you
64 vs 64 is amazing now. It was unplayable at launch due to poor performance.
It’s so chaotic
Performance is still garbage especially on 128v128, co-op is fine which is ridiculousl
You called it, s7 is last season.
Yippee!
I hopped back in recently and the bf3 and 4 grounded vibe is very real. The gunplay is snappy and smooth i get like 100+ fps on a very mid system and it doesn't have as many sht talking 12 year old sweats like cod.
I’m gonna play it because of crawford because he has my last name
well i like battlefield 3 because of good story, but i am concidering getting this version of battlefield and i think i will buy it and try it on my own, i love battlefield more than other shooter games.
My biggest issue with 2042 is the AI… I hate it. I hate joining a game and it’s all AI.
That's the difficulty of filling larger lobbies when the choices are either give them AI to kill while filling the game, or make people wait 5-10 minutes for a lobby to potentially never fill.
Ya the AI is a bit annoying. Cause what’s the point right? Eventually the lobbies do fill, and I guess I would rather start playing and get warmed up instead of waiting.
@@MrSaviorHDI’d rather be able to see the servers and wait in a queue lol. The old way of doing things I guess 😅
I watched this while fishing in Destiny
Lmao I am also a D2 main, another game that doesn’t deserve my money. Unfortunate times with a lot of these games. Especially fps’
Thanks gamer
I remember playing bf1 first night after grabbing it from GameStop on pre order. Was so much fun watching the behemoth fall down after half the lobby was shooting at it. I myself was using artillery gun hahaha idk battlefield now just feels so not battlefield. I see clips of dudes flying on a wing suit killing 80 people with one mag and just seems not even close to realistic. Bf3 I felt like I was legit in the army or something same for bf1. Bf5 is cool but I remember when they used a girl as the cover and that just rubbed me wrong and nobody cared about bf5 the campaign was lackluster except the German tiger mission I liked that
I want them to bring back all seasons again the same seasons starting with 1
I personally love the game. Something about it is just incredibly fun. It is certainly battlefield as you said
Thank you, Gamer.
You’re welcome
I bought it at launch for full price, I was very disappointed... I put in like 5 hours today. But I'm a Battlefield fan boy, and own the entire series on PC other than Hardline as that entry was a hardleft from the normal Battlefield.
I quit this after 25 hours when I realized there are bots everywhere. I didn't buy an online game to play against bots.
ngl, i really enjoy the current state of 2042, its a huge improvement from the launch, give it a go definitely. I agree that the maps could be better, however if your into sci fi and futuristic games, this is up there ngl
Whole game was overhauled. It is in a much better state.
This video aged well 🤣
Left this game a few weeks after the release. Named my garbage folder on my pc "BF2024" and un-installed this mess of a game.
I got hopes for the next Battlefield tho.
Definitely agree, wait for the game to be on sale and get it. Definitely fun but not worth the full price (I preordered it even after seeing the “BETA” 😂 thinking they ironed out the flaws)
EA and DICE need to be held criminally liable for the scam called 2042. I will never give them another dollar, let alone another minute of gameplay.
Cant wait for battlefield 2042 in 2042
Thank you!
still don’t know how they thought launching a battlefield game with NO CAMPAIGN was a good idea lol but hey worth trying again
I'm sorry, did the rocket launchers actually kill somebody on direct contact? What the fuck? Why do every fucking directions from rocket launchers I should always end up taking only a quarter of their health? Why the fuck is a rocket launcher not killing enemies? The more I play this game, the more I'm grateful I never grow up with the battlefield franchise. Before anybody says I probably would feel different if I tried the previous battlefields, no I wouldn't. The only ones I regret missing out on was bad company 1 and 2. The rest, I'm forever grateful I missed out on.
Break Through was just Operations from BF1
Ive been there throughout the game's entire lifecycle. 800 Hours accumulated, quit playing regulary around the release of the last season.
In short: No, its not worth playing, even after all the fixes.
Longer version:
Everything DICE and EA put out is bottom of the barrel, bare minimum effort. The only reason the game wasnt cancelled outright is because they'd get a class-action lawsuit for doing that. It took DICE 2 years to fix some of the FUNDAMENTAL issues with the game, most of the "fixes" in question being more comparable to bandaid being put on a gaping wound than an actual cure to the game's problems. Specialists were doubled down upon, even though they DID end up grouped into a class system. The content for each season was abysmally low effort. The Events were boring and most of the time even unplayable. Gunplay remains awful, even after all the reworks. The map reworks themselves didnt really fix them, only made them "playable". The only map worth playing is Redacted.
The game was ambitious indeed, and would've loved to see the idea of Battlefield Portal live up to its potential, but i will not be returning to 2042. And i won't preorder the next Battlefield game. Hell, I won't buy it if it isnt a worthy apology for the atrocious fuck-up that we were given in 2021.
And for the record: DICE is just as much to blame as EA. Sure, the higher-ups decided the direction, but the Developers still MADE AN AWFUL GAME EITHER WAY. They messed up as a team, and we shouldnt take the developers of this mess into our arms and treat them like innocent little babies. They clearly had enough time to fix the game up in the past two years, and guess what? Its still an awful game. Even if there was no time crunch and misdirection, i doubt the current generation of DICE devs would've been competent enough to put out something good.
2:57 All of the Battlefield franchise absurdity in a nutshell.
Biggest diservice EA and DICE could do to gaming community and battlefield fans was pulling the plug on BFV. That game stood the test of time and dice still decided to abandon it.
Are you high,bf5 was almost as bad as BF2042.
Specialists were the dumbest idea they could have made. Taking a tried and true system like classes and throwing it in the gutter really showed me where their priorities were:
Call of Duty Operators. And operator skins.
Not to mention how even this revamped system they did later on of combining specialists and classes isnt that great.
Also the Plus system. That one sucks too.
Even CoD did operators better; you had operators for two different factions instead of the mess they have.
I really like Battlefield 2042 and think its one of the best FPS on the market currently. And a lot of people don't see how the new Delta Force game is literally identical - so it must have stuck a cord because Delta Force is getting great reviews from the beta testers currently.
Bought it for 12€ on steam to play it with a co-worker. Sadly the only BF with crossplay, really hope they add it to BF1 and BFV one day🤞
I've put over 400 hours into this game. It's been good for at least the last year and a half now
FUN!
