@ProteusXF Look into the trailer. DO you see that they promised a return to the class systems? Do they make any false advertisement. The all out warfare is accurate to the real game. especially Breakthrough. The only thing that you are right is the rendezook scene. You are just imagining things. That is substantial evidence and if you don't believe me, check the reveal trailer again and do a thorough analysis..
@ProteusXF You need to go further back, like about 1942 to know how batshit insane Battlefield was back then. Also not every game is Fortnite, nor Modern Warfare, nor Apex. If you keep saying it, then BF1 is Star Wars Battlefront, BF3 is gigantic CoD4 MW, BFV copies movement from Siege, which is a clean rip off of CS:GO. Also insulting my purchases of cosmetic is wrong because I have never buy any cosmetic in video game.
Battlefield community: “we don’t want specialists and we like the class system” EA: *Adds specialists and removes the class system* Also EA: “why did the game fail?”
What everyone is missing is that we're in a transitory period in gaming history where people old enough to remember good games are getting up in age and less likely to give a shit about the current state of video games and all the tik tocker, adhd, fornite playing generation of kids are becoming the vast majority of audience and customer base for the industry. They want to phase older gamers out of the player base so they can replace them with kids who do not know the difference in what makes a good and bad game. They want the bar set lower and lower. They want you to throw your hands in the air and walk away. That's ideal for them. Because they know that for every older gamer that gives up and jumps ship there's 10 more kids who will buy any pile of shit they put on sale.
While there's truth to what you say, a lot of the blame goes to the corrupt media, who have utterly failed at policing the industry, and educating gamers. Ultimately, it's those who give a company money who are to blame for a company's practices, but most of the people who do this don't understand what kind of harm they are doing. Those in the media know exactly what they are doing.
Sad but true. Look how they're doing with Rainbow 6, the new one is about to drop at $39.99; you already know it's gonna be garbage. Not to mention they're moving from counter-terror (which was Rainbow's main bread and butter) to fighting aliens. These gaming companies need to be held accountable.
it's a small detail, but i really do appreciate Gundam providing chapters to the video. sometimes i like to double back and it helps to know where exactly to go.
@@crimson9949 hes not.... Dice is retarded and a shell of what they once were in 2016...whitch was great) and EA is outright greedy for there own good... Battlefield is dead Whether you like it or not... It's like old and need for speed games, there will never ever be erasing game from EA that was as good as underground ever again... Actually now that I think about it what's happening to battlefield is exactly what happened with need for speed.... They wanted to squeeze more money out of the players who love the 2015 need for speed when it came out (yes it had its problems but it was pretty good. And then the microtransactions swept through need for speed payback... And that game was just forcing you to pay.....pay to unlock this... Pay for that... Unlock DLC pack for 3 cars here.... Pay to buy one car there... Then spin a wheel to see what parts you get. And now we have heat which isn't a whole lot better than payback... Sorry I'm going on on a rant here.... The point is battlefield and the developers don't know what they're doing anymore and have lost touch with their fan base just like need for speed..... So everyone has just moved on to something different. "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain... For charging the shit out of everyone with micro transactions that no one asked for and putting out junk" -literally the entire EA staff
@@teej5619 ok you literally did not understand what I just said. I was agreeing with kane that battlefield is a former shell of what it once was and I was disagreeing with braiQ because he said there are other shooters.

I’ve heard someone say before ‘the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result” Stop preordering.... people never learn
You would think that after Cyberpunk 2077 people would get a clue, but the opposite happened instead. People are even more desperate for "next AAA game product".
Is anyone surprised, this is not the first or second disastrous launch EA and Dice have gotten away with. People that continue to preorder their games are partly to blame for this.
A lot of people seem to forget that all EA does is run every single franchise they own into the ground deliberately on a long enough timeline. That being said, knowing how many franchises they own, that they could easily just make decent, fun new entries for and watching them do this same thing time and time again enrages me to no end.
You need to realize that every few years it's a new Wave of kids that don't know about the previous DICE games that were terrible. This was there first BF game. And that's what alot of these companies do. They know after a few years it's gonna be a new wave of kids that haven't been screwed by them yet. I feel these are the sales they get.
I’m not… they don’t give a fuck, simple. Look at Ubisoft. People said fuck NFTs and they double down on it. Only 15 people bought it. Waiting on EA and Actishitcion to follow as well.
Going to say this because it's relevant. Preorders were a thing back when digital media wasn't so widely used. You reserved a copy for yourself at your local game store that way, on release day, you could pick up your copy worry free in case the game sold out. These days, downloads exist and so physical copies don't get sold out as often anymore. The only thing it does now is sell marketing. The execs track preorder sales compared to marketing released. This lets them know which marketing campaigns were successful so that they go for something similar the next game release. Don't preorder. If this info gets more widely spread, it'll stop this nonsense. Vote with your wallets.
The thing about Preorders of old, unless you got a digital version I believe, you only had to put a few dollars down and could decide if you wanted it or not at launch. These new digital preorders require the whole amount and is a pain in the ass to get refunded. I agree with you though. I’ll never preorder a game again. The last few years of gaming has been a massive let down with all these companies focusing on marketing hype over marketing legit, good games.
What still slays me is that they're charging 60-70 bucks for digital downloads when part of that cost was to cover the physical media, case, and any additional inserts the case might have. Then they want to sit there and tell me that games needs to cost *more* money because they're getting more expensive to make, but we all know the expense is coming from the ridiculous marketing budget because it certainly isn't going into these games.
@@ForeverLaxx Also games nowadays have microtransactions, dlc's and don't forget 20 years ago 100 times less people played games. Nowadays almost every kid and young adult(at least males) play something (I mean core gaming and not candy crush on toilet on fb). When I was kid It was "niche" playground for nerds. Also nowadays you have vids, literal schools for how to make games. Before everyone was just trying out which was expensive and took alot of time. Raises in prices are COMPLETELY undefensible from logical point of view.
@@loyall8029 Do what most people who can't stand the shit gaming industry has turned itself into do. Look at you games library and see how many titles you have that you either never played, or spent few hours because something "big" was being released. I've got over 130 games I never touched on Steam alone. For all I care? The industry can burn down to the ground. Just let me make backups of my favorite games in case Steam goes to hell as well, get some slightly modified executables that skips the drm checks, and I'm good where I am.
There was literally an ea exec 10 years or so ago talking about this. He was saying stuff like the goal is to have people pay to reload their guns because in the heat of moment during a firefight, you're not thinking about price. Real scummy shit.
@@ek9385 wait until they figure out how to rope NFTs into this... all of this makes me want to quit gaming. Games are getting shittier and more expensive.
With no cover from vehicles, little to no levelution, gigantic maps (even for Battlefield), fast movement speed, wingsuits, and the weapon attachment menu, there is no way that 2042 _wasn't_ designed to be a BR at first.
@@DoctorTheo hazard zone isn't a BR. It's an extraction mode, like hunt showdown or escape from tarkov. BFV had the shitty BR, and it's currently the only mode where you can't find full lobbies
@@rageknight2340 he's a feminist shill i could care less his opinion on these matters he's one of the reason the shitstorm it's raging in the game Industry
The conversion of EA to the dark side is complete, even their flagship game has gone the way of their sports titles. Not just mediocre but laughably the worst in the genre. Well done EA!
Absolutely hilarious that EA thought the innovative part of MW2019 was the operators and not the awesome in-depth gunsmith, which actually would have fit totally fine in battlefield even if classes were kept. Gunsmith even still allows monetization through the blueprints. I've only ever spent like 20 bucks on MW2019 mtx, and it was for blueprints and not operator skins
Imagine... AAA multiplayer FPS released in 2022 and it doesn't have in-depth weapon customization, And limited to 4 or 5 weapon attachments.... It's 2042 i should be able to put 3 scopes on my shotgun that is missing half of its parts if i so desire, Tarkov has ruined every other game in that department, No freedom of expression.
Playing against pc players while I'm on console is like chewing glass. Turned off crossplay and spent 20 minutes trying to join a single game with no success. What a joy
Did the same now I'm stuck again in none Xplay mode.. happened once before..uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times now.. deleted saved cache.. 4 days now and I guess BF2042 server has me forever saved in no Xplay.. fn sucks🤬🤬🤬 never turn off xplay on xbox x I guess.
I hear ya. We are cannon fodder against pc players. You cant compete against mouse and keyboard. Unless they introduce m/k support for console we will get flogged online.
Controllers are the worst way to control fps and TPS games imo. I don't know why Microsoft of all companies who are primarily known for a PC operating system won't implement mouse support on Xbox. I believe they have keyboard support, so why not mouse? It's a kick in the nuts that you can use an Xbox controller on PC but you have to buy a third party adapter that introduces huge amounts of latency if you want to use a mouse on your Xbox. The only draw for me anymore is the exclusives.
damn 20 minutes? is it already this bad lol?. but again it's your fault for buying it let's be honest. people haven't learned a dime these last 10 year's. "YOU DON'T PRE ORDER OR BUY ON RELEASE UNTIL REVIEWS", and you saw the beta gameplay, if that wasn't enough of a sign then yeah..
I first started playing Battlefield when they released the demo for the original. I can't begin to explain to you the precise degree that EA has absolutely screwed that entire franchise over the past decade.
Activision has gone a step further in vanguard and shoehorned a minute long mvp screen meant solely to show off the purchases. I didn't care about them having a store for skins as it didn't affect gameplay. Now it's affecting gameplay.
The tornados i find are a good idea, just poorly executed. They could be way more destructive and actually help the maps out with cover. Take Renewel for example. Tornado spawns in solar field, rips solar panels out of the ground, not only creating a hazard in and around the tornado, but throwing the panels across the map and thus creating cover in the more open areas. The idea's are there, just very poorly executed.
What it should have done is 1. Change the strategy to unearth snipers and campers, 2. Change half the map too something different via devolution that should be a domino effect of destruction, new playing areas and changing bottle necks and opens sections, 3. Tip the entire play field to make it far more exciting via variety until the match end whilst being a next gen spectacle. In the end they only took a very shallow approach of point 1 and even more shallow of point 2 where it wasn't anything to get exciting about. So bad...
@@silmupelaa6349 the gunplay was awful - basically pea guns with no damage, except snipers. Sniping was too easy. Grenade spam was horrible. Very few weapons, and without any useful customisation. Poor progression.
@@easy4265 Imagine MTG cards in the sense of how there are only so many of each printed, but for digital things. So maybe there will be a game that releases a skin, but the skin only has 20,000 of them available worldwide. So, if you bought the skin it would have an individualized serial number that proves its authenticity. It is very very similar to how Crypto works... terrible, but similar.
“I don’t understand. I cut costs, increased crunch, reduced staff, rushed the release and brought all my mobile phone game experience to the table. What happened?” EA, 2021
The game industry used to be about fun, now with how much money it brings in its continuously about how much the higher ups can get away with while they blatantly bend us over. We end up thanking them for releases like Halo Infinite when its literally the most barebones release of Halo we've ever had. BuT iT mOsTlY wORkS.
I hope they lose Bioware as well. Mass Effect 3 should've had a better ending and Dragon Age: Inquisition should actually be a Dragon Age game and not shiny garbage. That developer is a zombie at this point.
@@TheGrimmCommoner Well I’m not sure losing a license and losing a developer are the same thing… 🤔 Plus EA is a notorious developer killer… They would rather shut down BioWare than give it away. The only reason why EA might lose FIFA is because both are greedy scumbag organizations and they can’t agree on an already over bloated price…
They didn't hire DSP, but they did hire Anita Sarkeesian as a "consultant" on BFV. I kid you not. You can't make this stuff up. They hired _the_ moronic, pushable face, progressive gaming BSer to consultant them on how to make a WW2 FPS game. Like Jesus Christ, hire me on as minimum wage at this point. I'd do a better job at keeping Battlefield alive as the creative lead or something. It seems like DICE is a front for a money laundering scheme with how much they choke.
@@ci6516 Yes. BFV is a World War 2 game. My comment addresses how modern DICE are moronic and have been for the last few titles. BFV carried a lot of employees over to BF2042, and with that I wouldn't be surprised if Anita had a part in the diversity BS of this game as well.
Oh my god. That battlefield 2042 ad at the beginning hahaha. Maybe it’s just me but I saw that thing on TH-cam and got douche chills and it left me longing for the day that gaming was a niche thing that corporations didn’t care about and it was our little secret
Remember when EA's reps said that the "surprise mechnics" were like a physical object, yet you couldn't sell them? Nor could you transfer them to the next game in a series. I can't wait for them to explain away the vanishing NFTs after a game's servers are shut down and the owners cannot transfer their "property" anywhere else.
NFTs are the next big thing. There are just not enough influencers yet who hype that bullshit. People already wasting thousands of dollars in games like CS, Fortnite or FIFA. NFTs are just the next step for the gaming industry to make millions with digital bullshit.
What you mean? Microtransactions are exactly the same as buying a shirt! ... A shirt that you may already have because you can't choose which one you get... A shirt you can't even wear outside some places... A shirt that isn't even a real piece of cloth... ... But outside that, it's literally the same dude!!
@@funtourhawk not from what I heard. They released it as a full release, but left the people knowing, that it isnt actually done, thus things get added to it later on, which they did. That isnt the case with 2042.
I would say I'm surprised, but I'm not. This is what happens when the people that started the company to make games they want to play aren't in charge anymore.
Imagine dropping support for two games for 3 years just to release an unfinished product for a cash grab. This is such a damn shame we spent so much time waiting just for it all to be a joke.
Don't forget "8 MoNtHs AhEaD oF sChEdUlE" and "MuH 6 mOnTh OlD bEtA bUiLd". The shills have to learn how to smell garbage before they step in it, and to stop feeding the microtransation/pre-order beast.
They're already planning for a new BF game after 2042 lol. Watch as they abandon 2042 for the next BF game, have that one blow up in their faces too, then repeat.
I agree but... will you learn from it? Pre-order and/or buying games on day 1 is something I haven't done since 2013 (Colonial Marines and Rome 2 were the final straw for me). At a certain point you need to accept that, bar a few decent developers, the gaming industry is not your friend, it just wants your money. You need to accept this and act accordingly. Don't give them your money unless you're sure they deserve it.
@@Aethelhald I built my first gaming PC in October 2008. My first and last pre-order was Far Cry 2. And that was because it was an actual physical copy -- zero online DRM. I actually ended up selling it on eBay a week later. One of my rules is: No demo? Wait for bargain bin. Other rules are: Always Online SP? In-game Transactions in SP? "GAAS"? Unfinished? Serious, obvious bugs the devs knew full well about before release? VM Protect or other performance-destroying DRM? Propaganda? Wait for bargain bin. (Yeah...I play a lot of older games these days...)
@@bricaaron3978 Good stuff. If every gamer did this the industry would clean itself up in one week. Though I disagree about Far Cry 2. I unironically think it was the best game in that series. I play mostly older games too these days. Since I discovered it on December 10th, I've been playing Anomaly and nothing else (a mod for the STALKER games). It's amazing, and it's 100% free... you don't even need to buy/own the STALKER games to play it, it's a standalone thing. They have some sort of deal with the developers.
Unfortunately the unknown soldier just wanting to do his part for the squad doesn't buy enough RAD EXTREME SKINS BRO! I'm not at all a fan of EA, but you really can't blame them for constantly chasing the goose that lays the golden microtransaction eggs. Fortnite, CoD, heck even stuff like Rocket League and Rainbow Six are just printing money with goofball digital cosmetic sales. We can all scream at the companies, but at the end of the day we're being force fed this shit because hundreds of millions of players around the world have no issue pumping billons into microtransactions. There are only two possible outcomes at this point for the Battlefield franchise: 1) EA cracks the code and actually makes a game that is popular with both whales and a decent chunk of normies or 2) EA drives the franchise completely into the dirt. Either way, if you want a really good team/squad based shooter, then it's going to be via some indie developer from Estonia that comes clear out of left field.
@@noname-oe9jy Like CoD until MW:2019, Battlefield has been dead for a long time. The corpse just prints money, so they'll keep kicking the dead horse until there's nothing left.
Bfv had decent skins those were the best in any game cause you can mix and match the headgear top and bottom. They could have did the same thing in 2042. Specialist need to go.....
What truly worries me is that, despite the backlash and the shit state that the game is, it is still on the top for sales on steam. And that's not even counting microtransactions since there's no store items or battlepass yet. It doesn't matter, not even a little bit, how much people complain about how shit this game is, if people still preorder and buy.
unlikley the money put into this plus ea's standards for milking means maybe 150k on steam is a dismal failure they considered 5 mil on battlefield 5 a failure so under a mill is likley world shattering
Tornados that rip through the map, and leave them looking like pristine newly built but lifeless/soulless cities, because apparently, destruction no longer exists in the "apocalyptic" near future.
@@FEWGEE1 idk I think the tornados look cool considering how demanding they are with the particle effects. And watching a tornado go through the rocket on orbital in the middle of a firefight is pretty cool. They sure as hell affect gameplay more than the levolution from BF4
I’m glad you do, because they’re not just there as a recycled gimmick, the narrative of 2042 is the world suffering from the effects of drastic climate change, hence the tornado events and the ones you can see off in the distance. Renewal is a facility created to grow crops in the desert, and Manifest is a port that was going to be destroyed by rising sea levels, until the government built the seawalls over by the Russian deployment. And for anyone still reading and curious, the reason all the operators are different nationalities and called “no pats” is because most of the worlds nations fell, so the “non patriated” people had to pick a side between Russia/the US in the resource war. The superpowers use no pats as liability free soldiers. Pretty grim and plausible setup to have the specialists saying the dumbest one liners possible after every violent costly battle hahaha
As soon as they announced they were removing the classes and were making operators aka skins, I lost all interest and wrote it off. It was stupid to have any hope for 2042, let alone any new games these days. Also something very worth noting, MOST if not all of the big name companies are no longer being run by the people who made them what they are. They've all left, voluntarily because they disagreed with the direction the company was being moved or they were outed by the progressive rot that infests most if not all video game companies. It's like a complete stranger has taken the empty skin suit that is the company name and is dancing around asking everyone if they remember all the old greats that the old company released, all the while the skin suit is slowly rotting away and wafting a gut wrenching odor throughout the room.
The great gaming depression feels bad. But i dunno what's worse, how bad the games are or the fact that games are being sold at an ever increasing rate with insane revenue from macrotransactions. People will buy anything if you slap on the "NEW!" sticker.
@@nachoboy3503 It sure sucks, but the majority of the gaming community buys a game, plays it for a month or so, and then promptly forgets about it so they can buy the next hype game. You can vote with your wallet of course, but your $60, $70 now it would seem, really means little in the long run. The best you can do is just watch the show and play older games or the odd good game that gets released. I'm over here replaying Goldeneye on the N64 for an fps fix.
Regardless how one feels about BFV, the last true battlefield was Battlefield 1 (still has lots of players on console thanks to game pass). 5 person squads, and classes all had their distinct appearance. It was V where a lot of the people who cared left, and they broke the formula.
@@theblackbaron4119 I feel like people are noticing the same shit I did with Battlefield 3 & 4. I liked BC2 and prior, but DICE Sweden really dropped the ball since then. They failed to bring the bots to BC2 PC like they had on console. They made false promises with BF3 that wouldn't be delivered until BF4. They banned people from Battlelog that complained BF3 was being made too much like CoD. The Alpha started off expanding on BC2 and BF2. It was progressively made simpler, less squad reliant, and more infantry focused. Destruction was limited, battle recorder never came, no commander mode, blue filter, and the lead designer took pride in never having played Battlefield before. BF4 launched broken and DICE Sweden would abandon it to work on the next Battlefield. Danger Close Studios was renamed by EA to DICE LA and made to clean up DICE Sweden's messes. This is the culmination of years of bad practices.
Little correction: we don't know that BF2042 was designed to be BR just from gut feeling. We have it documented with detailed timeline thanks to Tom Henderson.
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 At this point, there is nothing that wouldn't be improved by not making it BR. Even deleting product would be better than keeping it as BR.
It's quite obvious they intended do make it a BR just look at the time they took and the garbage they gave us? It's because they decided to attempt a " BATTLEFIELD " game for The newest battlefield series halfway basically.
@@gameboyterrorysta6307 yep, delete and forget about 2042. EA and Dice should come back to BF5, implement anti-cheat, do expansion packs, DLCs and it will be the great game, still

I was so excited for a new modern/near future battlefield title and I am *SO* glad I never participate in preorder shit because I dodged a massive bullet here. The super sad part is, I'll probably never have a reason to come back to Battlefield now that they are killing it's spirit. I really do think it is one of the very few titles that managed to hit the sweet spot between lobby shooter and milsim.
@@theysellsoulscheaphere8501 lol Jack simp. It was mild criticism at best, he hasn’t called anyone out or talked about how awful this is in conception. It’s all softballs. He can’t be honest because he losses access with EA. And that’s fine, I don’t begrudge anyone making a living but he’s not a normal guy. He’s practically an advertising channel for EA and people need to be made aware of this. People bought the game off the back off his weak coverage that didn’t highlight any issues pre-launch. I honestly think there needs to be more transparency with TH-camrs and their business dealings. Unless you’re directly given cash by a company you have to declare it, but there’s a million ways around that
I've been screaming this for years...we need to sue these companies back into 1995 and completely remove microtransactions...they ruin the game...can anyone argue that now that 2021 is done?
We've had "loot box regulations" all over the world for years now, it hasn't changed a thing at EA. They just call their politician buddies and work around them. If you want good games without predatory m$, you have to ignore the AAA industry entirely, and then just hope that your new favorite devs don't turn into CDPR or the idiot PUBG guy.
You gotta point. I think they try pushing microtransatrion onto people like coke dealers push there productz just hoping you buy a bigger amount each time. It's the indi/small scale development teams and game that'll rise an those big companies will crash I'm calling it

May as well be heroin or coke
Well DICE as we know it is as good as dead. The entire Swedish leadership was just fired and I thought things would be better once Patrick Soderlund left after telling gamers not to buy BF5..... Oskar Gabrielson took over from him and made BF2042 with the other head being Fawzi Mesmar. Both got fired(quit) a month after release and the power of the studio was given to Respawn and to make it even worse the head Ubisoft lady that worked on live service games called Rebecka Coutaz got hired.
I like when these super big companies take all popular trends from last 2 years, mix them into one,unplayable, live service mess and sell it like it was innovation. And people buy it,over and over.
7:53 I'm not ashamed to admit I was one of the people on Farming Simulator. There were a couple of bugs at launch, but most of them were fixed within a week and their servers have been improving as well. It's nice to have a studio that actually cares.
Why don’t they take what made BF1 and BF4 good and combine them into one, futuristic time zone, immersive gameplay, gritty presentation that makes you feel like “you are not expected to survive” that’s what battlefield fans want
This is another reason why I liked Hardline. All the characters looked standard, but you could easily tell them apart. However, *if you wanted*, you could purchase the gunsmith DLC. You could put custom paint jobs on your weapons or make your characters look goofy by changing their colours or clothing design styles. For example, a cop with a yellow & green tiger striped MP5 running around in pink SWAT gear.
The testing gets done, but the execs push the crap through to make deadlines. and the head designer wanted this game out so he could jump ship to another company.
This game will keep having players cause we got people like Levelcap promoting this trash, to have gaming content for his channel. He keeps saying "it has issues but I'm having fun." Lol.

The way I feel about microtransactions, is that if game developers put them in their games, then they really don't have any confidence in their products, and they would rather try to steal as much money as possible before people discover that the game is a piece of crap made for stealing money.
Or they just want to get away with cutting up the game as much as possible, purely for additional revenue. Basically Halo: Infinite with it's barebones barren shell of day 1 customization. Absolute garbage unless you want the very specfic weekly shop cosmetics that are $20 for one colour, one emblem, and maybe a helmet if yoy're lucky.
Well i mean it can be done right as well. Thing is that people expect to pay once and then be able to play the game for years to come with all of the new content updates and servers still up. It costs them something too.
@@MrMozkoZrout I thought about that, too. I was thinking they could replace all the superficial microtransactions with a Donation Page in the game. If the game is good, people can donate a certain amount. Minors won't be able to use it, their parents would have to do it for them, to discourage kids stealing their parents' credit cards. How's that sound?
@@MrMozkoZrout It's much more preferable to just outright lying about the game's severe lack of quality and tricking people out of their money, causing said people to lose any and all trust in the company/developer. Also, people should be able to get all of their money back from them in that kind of situation as well, simply for the fact of being outright lied to. Its False Advertising then, also broken trust. People need to stop falling for all of the superficial hype the companies put out, and judge the games with a clear head.
@@TrueGamer22887 hardline was a trash battlefield. And as for BFV, the women wasnt even the biggest problem. Trash base maps, terrible time to kill, cringe legendary characters. Makes no fkn sense. Best part of BFV was the Pacific update
@@TrueGamer22887 typical California trash. The game sucked because it was dysfunctional and a garbage fanfiction pretending to be a WWII game. But I guess in this era, we're supposed to like Revolution 60 because it has women.

@@TrueGamer22887 as a military veteran, I have a deep appreciation for WWII history. The mockery of reformed stories that they displayed within the Campaign was a inexcusable. You can not argue that BFV was a big push of putting women on the front lines because “I do not want to tell my daughter she can’t be a girl in a game”.
Fact that EA literally making a whole another game about specialists, the most hated thing about new battlefield, amazes me. Exactly HOW STUPID you need to be? Make a fucking good Battlefield 4 remake and your audience will be satisfied. Why the fuck you need to work on smth that requires more work and would make a less income? Who are those people sitting in EA's marketing management?
Hard to get mad at them when people throw their money at them year after year. Rather than pre-order, wait 2 weeks. Make them earn it, we've Pavlov'd them into expecting fat stacks.
I actually feel disgust and hatred towards people that jump on manufactured, pointless hype trains now. I hate this, I'm a grumpy old man who shames people because it absolutely must be done.
Yeah my father is guilty of this. Buying battlefield every time the new one is released. But in his Defence he’s been playing since battlefield 1942 first released and is pretty die hard about the series, they’re virtually the only games he plays. I will say battlefield 2042 really opened his eyes because he was shocked that 2042 is unfinished garbage. He’s gone back to playing battlefield 5 after a week or 2 of playing 2042. So I believe that there is a reckoning coming for these game companies. Hopefully he remembers this when the next battlefield comes out.
“This generation’s Beanie Baby” oh my God you’re right. As for the “Fortnite Formula,” you have to give Fortnite credit for actually having an enjoyable and not as costly system. In games like COD/Battlefield, there’s no purpose except for paying $30 for hands. In Fortnite, weapon skins can be applied to everything including vehicles and cost as much as camos in Call of Duty in 2012. Fortnite also doesn’t have a SBMM system that matches you against better or worse players based on how much money you spend. $20 in Fortnite also gets me a Boba Fett skin, his jetpack, a Slave I glider, his Gaffi Stick as a pickaxe, and an emote plus currency leftover - AND I see my cosmetics at all times. Nowadays Call of Duty charges you $20 for weapon camos that can only be applied to one gun by masking it as a “variant.” In short these companies saw Fortnite’s monetary plans and did their best to make it as scummy as possible (looking at you Halo Infinite, charging $20 for a weapon keychain). We’re at an incredibly dark point in shooter games and I wish players would support things like Enlisted or any other indie shooter studios as opposed to paying $70 just because it’s a recognizable video game title.
How the heck does specific "hero" characters instead of ops incentivize skins over having an individual player character with different kits for the different classes that you can endlessly customize? Works for Rising Storm: Vietnam.
They could do classes and still have specialist, or did they forget the other FPS game they’ve made? Battlefront 2? You know the one that had 4 classes and “specialists” they could have both characters with unique abilities aswell as your regular soldiers, because it wasn’t the gameplay people hated it was the garbage ass monetization
Battlefront 2 was actually a really solid game compared to this. The classes are actually individual with different load outs and abilities. Each on is played unique, and they have different skins and characters for each side.
@@zaneebel6304 yeah, that as what I mean all they had to do was take the battlefront 2 gameplay/mechanics, get rid of the shitty card monitization and there you go, you can still sell the stupid operator skins and have regular load outs too
Yo, Opera is lit. The only bad part is setting up all the plugins and finding all the technical shit you need but man, once you got it set up, you'll never go back. Being able to split my PC between essentially 4 desktops and not losing any performance broke me
I never saw the full video, was there really a roach saying "What a time to be alive?" Like in what world are soldiers dying and getting blown up, and some of them are giddy about being alive during WW3 like it's fun.
It got beat by FARM FREAKING SIMULATOR 3 weeks in a row! A FPS shooter, OUT OF its own platform, outsold by TRACTORS?!? Not even out of its favored platform a fps got outsold by FARMING EQUIPMENT before. This never happened! What a time to be alive! At some point, Farm Simulator had sold more copies and had more simultaneous players than Battlefield! You didn't happen to see Archangel Gabriel flying around with a giant trumpet/horn/bugle, did you? About to announce the apocalypse? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This isn't THAT terribly surprising... The Farming Simulator franchise consistently moves about 2 million units per year just on PC and consoles (and it has a large mobile presence as well), it's insanely successful in it's own right. Now granted, 2 million units per year doesn't hold a candle to Battlefield games that are well received like BF4 and BF1, games that have sold 15-20 million copies each... But it can certainly compete with flops like BFV and BF2042 when the servers are basically ghost towns one month after release.
This is really depressing, I’m a casual BF and been playing since Bad Company 1. The state that this game is in makes it hard to believe it got this point
I miss the days of good old BF2 on PC. Strike at Karkand, running around as a medic or support. Or even the more recent BF1 was pretty good. I just want that experience back. Being part of a massive battle with distinctive sides, and specific roles to play. No stupid fucking operatives or other tacticool shit.
I loved BF2, despite it being a buggy, laggy mess a lot of the time. But in a lot of ways, it put the writing on the wall for everything wrong today... forcing people to play on the "company servers" if they wanted to compete in the "ranked" games to earn the "unlockable" rewards... All precursors to the current microtransaction mess. All that said, when everything came together, it was a blast to play... And it was the last BF game that actually had a somewhat active modding community actually morphing and improving the game (while also hosting their own servers). Of course, all that nonsense had to be shutdown once the EA Company Store had useless digital chotchkies to sell.
BF2 is a masterpiece. It started off somewhat shaky due to it's ambitious makeup, but not long after it became glorious. I have very fond memories playing Karkand Infantry only on a local server (25ms). Playing medic with the G36E has yet to be topped for me. The DLC for BF3 was a nice effort but the map was way too small.
Opera GX should use Gundam's ad instead of Pewdiepie's low energy version where he sleeps thru the ad read. Gonna download Opera GX now bc they sponsored one of my fav creators
Pewdiepie stole memes like NFKRZ (Your mom is the big g*y), all of Dolan Dark's stuff, Pyrocynical and screwed over ads saying N word live and Pepsi/Disney pulled out. I hate that dude. The dude got his money and now he doesn't care for MLG crew. He claims he was part of the old crew and Dolan Dark said fuck nah. Dude wishes Pewdiepie to stfu.
I stopped following Pewds for about half a year now. Never had any inclination of going back to watching him. His "content" is boring and repetitive beyond belief and continues talking like a 4 year old. I just don't see the appeal of him anymore. It actually requires effort to watch him for me now.
IMO Specialists should be treated like Heroes/Villains from Battlefront. You get points during combat that you can save up in game and spend to spawn in as a specialists. That would fix a lot of problems imo, and EA wouldn't have to remove their precious Fortnite/Apex/Overwatch marketable characters
Let me just say this, in a battlefield trailer when it's all out war, and the world is burning, you got a line like "what a time to be aliveeeeeee!". Like it's some comedy shit or fortnite. Battlefield died for for me after battlefield 4.
Id try bf1 man, its actually pretty fun. Its incredibly stupid that everyone is running around with machine guns in ww1. But from a gameplay perspective I've had a blast with it. Thats what I'm playing now instead of 2042
As a majority console gamer, the laat nail in the coffin was crossplay lumping the two very different communities together. PC people stomp console gamers (Besides specifically tailor titles like GoW and Halo), it ruins the experience. The largest and first nail obviously being removal of specialists, "CoDifying", and overall quality plummet.
@@smilingbandit4975 i thought it came out in 2002 and had sold 3 million copies by 2004. I also remember it not being a disaster. Battlefield 5 sold HALF as many copies a year after release than battlefield 1, the game that preceded it. Dice and EA could have taken the L and come up with a gameplan but instead we got this. Even in the Wikipedia article there is a distinction made where "Upon release, Battlefield 2042 received mixed reviews from critics and negative reviews from players". Its a good thing that video game reviewers arent gamers and arent the players that pay for new games.
I'm so thankful that you call this game for what it is. I hope that if enough people call out big developers on this crap (especially their hypocrisies and BS they try to feed us), that maybe, just maybe one day it will be more appealing for companies as a whole to make a good game rather than an empty experience that includes a digital outfit vending machine.
"If you had told me before reading the article that people would be buying a woman's nasty ass farts. I wouldn't have believed you. Yet here we are. Happy new year". That had me dying😂🤣😂
Operators in CoD aren't hero classes... They are just a fancy word for "skins". They don't change gameplay whatsoever, these CorpoRats don't even understand their competition holy FLARK that's embarrassing
DICE is never gonna recover from this, 2042 is the last straw pulled for DICE/EA the greed train came, failed and went and I couldn't be happier it's great to see greed fall flat on its face. I've purchased every battlefield game since the early 2000's and this will be the last one....

@ProteusXF more like you imagine it, the reveal trailer never mentions those thing
@ProteusXF Look into the trailer. DO you see that they promised a return to the class systems? Do they make any false advertisement. The all out warfare is accurate to the real game. especially Breakthrough. The only thing that you are right is the rendezook scene. You are just imagining things. That is substantial evidence and if you don't believe me, check the reveal trailer again and do a thorough analysis..
Took them 3 years to make a cod game
@ProteusXF You need to go further back, like about 1942 to know how batshit insane Battlefield was back then.
Also not every game is Fortnite, nor Modern Warfare, nor Apex. If you keep saying it, then BF1 is Star Wars Battlefront, BF3 is gigantic CoD4 MW, BFV copies movement from Siege, which is a clean rip off of CS:GO.
Also insulting my purchases of cosmetic is wrong because I have never buy any cosmetic in video game.

@@spongebob8819 yeah that’s never gonna happen
What everyone is missing is that we're in a transitory period in gaming history where people old enough to remember good games are getting up in age and less likely to give a shit about the current state of video games and all the tik tocker, adhd, fornite playing generation of kids are becoming the vast majority of audience and customer base for the industry. They want to phase older gamers out of the player base so they can replace them with kids who do not know the difference in what makes a good and bad game. They want the bar set lower and lower. They want you to throw your hands in the air and walk away. That's ideal for them. Because they know that for every older gamer that gives up and jumps ship there's 10 more kids who will buy any pile of shit they put on sale.
Too true, these companies have 5-10 year plans.
That’s exactly why me & my buddies jumped ship. We’re beyond thankful for Hell Let Loose & Insurgency Sandstorm being on console now.
While there's truth to what you say, a lot of the blame goes to the corrupt media, who have utterly failed at policing the industry, and educating gamers.
Ultimately, it's those who give a company money who are to blame for a company's practices, but most of the people who do this don't understand what kind of harm they are doing. Those in the media know exactly what they are doing.
Sad but true. Look how they're doing with Rainbow 6, the new one is about to drop at $39.99; you already know it's gonna be garbage. Not to mention they're moving from counter-terror (which was Rainbow's main bread and butter) to fighting aliens. These gaming companies need to be held accountable.

They wanted to squeeze more money out of the players who love the 2015 need for speed when it came out (yes it had its problems but it was pretty good. And then the microtransactions swept through need for speed payback... And that game was just forcing you to pay.....pay to unlock this... Pay for that... Unlock DLC pack for 3 cars here.... Pay to buy one car there... Then spin a wheel to see what parts you get. And now we have heat which isn't a whole lot better than payback...
Sorry I'm going on on a rant here.... The point is battlefield and the developers don't know what they're doing anymore and have lost touch with their fan base just like need for speed..... So everyone has just moved on to something different.

You would think that after Cyberpunk 2077 people would get a clue, but the opposite happened instead. People are even more desperate for "next AAA game product".
Is anyone surprised, this is not the first or second disastrous launch EA and Dice have gotten away with. People that continue to preorder their games are partly to blame for this.
A lot of people seem to forget that all EA does is run every single franchise they own into the ground deliberately on a long enough timeline.
That being said, knowing how many franchises they own, that they could easily just make decent, fun new entries for and watching them do this same thing time and time again enrages me to no end.
@@RighteousJ True. No publisher has killed so many beloved game studios as EA.
Exactly EA and dice will learn their lesson when the players learn their lesson and stop buying this crap
You need to realize that every few years it's a new Wave of kids that don't know about the previous DICE games that were terrible. This was there first BF game. And that's what alot of these companies do. They know after a few years it's gonna be a new wave of kids that haven't been screwed by them yet. I feel these are the sales they get.
I’m not… they don’t give a fuck, simple. Look at Ubisoft. People said fuck NFTs and they double down on it. Only 15 people bought it. Waiting on EA and Actishitcion to follow as well.
Going to say this because it's relevant. Preorders were a thing back when digital media wasn't so widely used. You reserved a copy for yourself at your local game store that way, on release day, you could pick up your copy worry free in case the game sold out. These days, downloads exist and so physical copies don't get sold out as often anymore. The only thing it does now is sell marketing. The execs track preorder sales compared to marketing released. This lets them know which marketing campaigns were successful so that they go for something similar the next game release.
Don't preorder. If this info gets more widely spread, it'll stop this nonsense. Vote with your wallets.
The thing about Preorders of old, unless you got a digital version I believe, you only had to put a few dollars down and could decide if you wanted it or not at launch. These new digital preorders require the whole amount and is a pain in the ass to get refunded. I agree with you though. I’ll never preorder a game again. The last few years of gaming has been a massive let down with all these companies focusing on marketing hype over marketing legit, good games.
What still slays me is that they're charging 60-70 bucks for digital downloads when part of that cost was to cover the physical media, case, and any additional inserts the case might have. Then they want to sit there and tell me that games needs to cost *more* money because they're getting more expensive to make, but we all know the expense is coming from the ridiculous marketing budget because it certainly isn't going into these games.

Absolutely hilarious that EA thought the innovative part of MW2019 was the operators and not the awesome in-depth gunsmith, which actually would have fit totally fine in battlefield even if classes were kept.

Controllers are the worst way to control fps and TPS games imo. I don't know why Microsoft of all companies who are primarily known for a PC operating system won't implement mouse support on Xbox. I believe they have keyboard support, so why not mouse? It's a kick in the nuts that you can use an Xbox controller on PC but you have to buy a third party adapter that introduces huge amounts of latency if you want to use a mouse on your Xbox.

The tornados i find are a good idea, just poorly executed. They could be way more destructive and actually help the maps out with cover. Take Renewel for example. Tornado spawns in solar field, rips solar panels out of the ground, not only creating a hazard in and around the tornado, but throwing the panels across the map and thus creating cover in the more open areas. The idea's are there, just very poorly executed.
What it should have done is 1. Change the strategy to unearth snipers and campers, 2. Change half the map too something different via devolution that should be a domino effect of destruction, new playing areas and changing bottle necks and opens sections, 3. Tip the entire play field to make it far more exciting via variety until the match end whilst being a next gen spectacle. In the end they only took a very shallow approach of point 1 and even more shallow of point 2 where it wasn't anything to get exciting about. So bad...
Man, and to think that 5 years ago they made Battlefield 1, arguably one of the best games in the entire franchise.
Not to mention the reveal trailer was the best ever for a game ever
Bf1 was a good idea poorly executed. Bf4 was much better.
@@Typ0NegNo What? How it was poorly executed??

@@easy4265 Imagine MTG cards in the sense of how there are only so many of each printed, but for digital things. So maybe there will be a game that releases a skin, but the skin only has 20,000 of them available worldwide.

They hired a guy from Candy Crush to help make Battlefield? Let me guess, they also hired DSP to be an inhouse game tester.
That explains all the stains on the testing couch...
They didn't hire DSP, but they did hire Anita Sarkeesian as a "consultant" on BFV.
I kid you not. You can't make this stuff up. They hired _the_ moronic, pushable face, progressive gaming BSer to consultant them on how to make a WW2 FPS game.
Like Jesus Christ, hire me on as minimum wage at this point. I'd do a better job at keeping Battlefield alive as the creative lead or something. It seems like DICE is a front for a money laundering scheme with how much they choke.
@@SkyNinja759 ww2 game ?
@@ci6516 Yes. BFV is a World War 2 game. My comment addresses how modern DICE are moronic and have been for the last few titles. BFV carried a lot of employees over to BF2042, and with that I wouldn't be surprised if Anita had a part in the diversity BS of this game as well.

Remember when EA's reps said that the "surprise mechnics" were like a physical object, yet you couldn't sell them? Nor could you transfer them to the next game in a series. I can't wait for them to explain away the vanishing NFTs after a game's servers are shut down and the owners cannot transfer their "property" anywhere else.

I agree but... will you learn from it? Pre-order and/or buying games on day 1 is something I haven't done since 2013 (Colonial Marines and Rome 2 were the final straw for me). At a certain point you need to accept that, bar a few decent developers, the gaming industry is not your friend, it just wants your money. You need to accept this and act accordingly. Don't give them your money unless you're sure they deserve it.
@@Aethelhald I built my first gaming PC in October 2008. My first and last pre-order was Far Cry 2. And that was because it was an actual physical copy -- zero online DRM. I actually ended up selling it on eBay a week later.

Wait for bargain bin. (Yeah...I play a lot of older games these days...)
@@bricaaron3978 Good stuff. If every gamer did this the industry would clean itself up in one week. Though I disagree about Far Cry 2. I unironically think it was the best game in that series.
I play mostly older games too these days. Since I discovered it on December 10th, I've been playing Anomaly and nothing else (a mod for the STALKER games). It's amazing, and it's 100% free... you don't even need to buy/own the STALKER games to play it, it's a standalone thing. They have some sort of deal with the developers.
Battlefield to me is always about the unknown soldier working with other unknown soldier becoming unsung heroes...specialist destroys that identity
Unfortunately the unknown soldier just wanting to do his part for the squad doesn't buy enough RAD EXTREME SKINS BRO! I'm not at all a fan of EA, but you really can't blame them for constantly chasing the goose that lays the golden microtransaction eggs. Fortnite, CoD, heck even stuff like Rocket League and Rainbow Six are just printing money with goofball digital cosmetic sales. We can all scream at the companies, but at the end of the day we're being force fed this shit because hundreds of millions of players around the world have no issue pumping billons into microtransactions.
There are only two possible outcomes at this point for the Battlefield franchise: 1) EA cracks the code and actually makes a game that is popular with both whales and a decent chunk of normies or 2) EA drives the franchise completely into the dirt. Either way, if you want a really good team/squad based shooter, then it's going to be via some indie developer from Estonia that comes clear out of left field.
@@control_the_pet_population If we look at history, EA will drive the franchise completely into the dirt. It's been slowly spiraling since BF1.
@@noname-oe9jy Like CoD until MW:2019, Battlefield has been dead for a long time. The corpse just prints money, so they'll keep kicking the dead horse until there's nothing left.
Bfv had decent skins those were the best in any game cause you can mix and match the headgear top and bottom. They could have did the same thing in 2042. Specialist need to go.....
What truly worries me is that, despite the backlash and the shit state that the game is, it is still on the top for sales on steam. And that's not even counting microtransactions since there's no store items or battlepass yet.
It doesn't matter, not even a little bit, how much people complain about how shit this game is, if people still preorder and buy.
unlikley the money put into this plus ea's standards for milking means maybe 150k on steam is a dismal failure they considered 5 mil on battlefield 5 a failure so under a mill is likley world shattering

"apparently, in 2042, tornadoes will rule the world"
I, for one, welcome our meteorological overlords.
Tornadoes and hovercrafts.
Tornados that rip through the map, and leave them looking like pristine newly built but lifeless/soulless cities, because apparently, destruction no longer exists in the "apocalyptic" near future.
Mother Nature wants to blow ALL life on her surface.
@@FEWGEE1 idk I think the tornados look cool considering how demanding they are with the particle effects. And watching a tornado go through the rocket on orbital in the middle of a firefight is pretty cool. They sure as hell affect gameplay more than the levolution from BF4
I’m glad you do, because they’re not just there as a recycled gimmick, the narrative of 2042 is the world suffering from the effects of drastic climate change, hence the tornado events and the ones you can see off in the distance. Renewal is a facility created to grow crops in the desert, and Manifest is a port that was going to be destroyed by rising sea levels, until the government built the seawalls over by the Russian deployment. And for anyone still reading and curious, the reason all the operators are different nationalities and called “no pats” is because most of the worlds nations fell, so the “non patriated” people had to pick a side between Russia/the US in the resource war. The superpowers use no pats as liability free soldiers.
Pretty grim and plausible setup to have the specialists saying the dumbest one liners possible after every violent costly battle hahaha
As soon as they announced they were removing the classes and were making operators aka skins, I lost all interest and wrote it off. It was stupid to have any hope for 2042, let alone any new games these days.
Also something very worth noting, MOST if not all of the big name companies are no longer being run by the people who made them what they are. They've all left, voluntarily because they disagreed with the direction the company was being moved or they were outed by the progressive rot that infests most if not all video game companies. It's like a complete stranger has taken the empty skin suit that is the company name and is dancing around asking everyone if they remember all the old greats that the old company released, all the while the skin suit is slowly rotting away and wafting a gut wrenching odor throughout the room.
The great gaming depression feels bad. But i dunno what's worse, how bad the games are or the fact that games are being sold at an ever increasing rate with insane revenue from macrotransactions.
People will buy anything if you slap on the "NEW!" sticker.
@@nachoboy3503 It sure sucks, but the majority of the gaming community buys a game, plays it for a month or so, and then promptly forgets about it so they can buy the next hype game. You can vote with your wallet of course, but your $60, $70 now it would seem, really means little in the long run. The best you can do is just watch the show and play older games or the odd good game that gets released. I'm over here replaying Goldeneye on the N64 for an fps fix.
Capitalism has ruined the multiplayer gaming industry
Regardless how one feels about BFV, the last true battlefield was Battlefield 1 (still has lots of players on console thanks to game pass).
5 person squads, and classes all had their distinct appearance. It was V where a lot of the people who cared left, and they broke the formula.
Halo Infinite. Amazing.
The worst part about specialist being in the game to sell skins is knowing they could just make skins for the classes and sell those
True, and sell the current characters as "Elite Specialists" - Basically the BFV business model; If it's not broken, don't fix it.
I miss, "EA, it's in the game". Now, I have to endure, "EA, we turn Gold into shit..."

What did you expect from a company that hammers out the same garbage over and over.
@@theblackbaron4119 I feel like people are noticing the same shit I did with Battlefield 3 & 4. I liked BC2 and prior, but DICE Sweden really dropped the ball since then. They failed to bring the bots to BC2 PC like they had on console. They made false promises with BF3 that wouldn't be delivered until BF4. They banned people from Battlelog that complained BF3 was being made too much like CoD. The Alpha started off expanding on BC2 and BF2. It was progressively made simpler, less squad reliant, and more infantry focused. Destruction was limited, battle recorder never came, no commander mode, blue filter, and the lead designer took pride in never having played Battlefield before. BF4 launched broken and DICE Sweden would abandon it to work on the next Battlefield. Danger Close Studios was renamed by EA to DICE LA and made to clean up DICE Sweden's messes.

Well DICE as we know it is as good as dead. The entire Swedish leadership was just fired and I thought things would be better once Patrick Soderlund left after telling gamers not to buy BF5..... Oskar Gabrielson took over from him and made BF2042 with the other head being Fawzi Mesmar.

Why don’t they take what made BF1 and BF4 good and combine them into one, futuristic time zone, immersive gameplay, gritty presentation that makes you feel like “you are not expected to survive” that’s what battlefield fans want

All the characters looked standard, but you could easily tell them apart. However, *if you wanted*, you could purchase the gunsmith DLC. You could put custom paint jobs on your weapons or make your characters look goofy by changing their colours or clothing design styles.
For example, a cop with a yellow & green tiger striped MP5 running around in pink SWAT gear.

AAA developers/publishers spend loads of dosh on meat space advertising but can't save some tree fiddy for Q&A testing.

The way I feel about microtransactions, is that if game developers put them in their games, then they really don't have any confidence in their products, and they would rather try to steal as much money as possible before people discover that the game is a piece of crap made for stealing money.
Or they just want to get away with cutting up the game as much as possible, purely for additional revenue.
Basically Halo: Infinite with it's barebones barren shell of day 1 customization. Absolute garbage unless you want the very specfic weekly shop cosmetics that are $20 for one colour, one emblem, and maybe a helmet if yoy're lucky.
Well i mean it can be done right as well. Thing is that people expect to pay once and then be able to play the game for years to come with all of the new content updates and servers still up. It costs them something too.
@@MrMozkoZrout I thought about that, too. I was thinking they could replace all the superficial microtransactions with a Donation Page in the game.

How's that sound?
@@CrownOfRoses541 sounds a bit naive tbh. Few people would but most simply won't pay if they don't have to.

So I believe that there is a reckoning coming for these game companies. Hopefully he remembers this when the next battlefield comes out.
109k steam reviews with only 30% positive and peaks at 20k online on steam. This game died so fast.
“This generation’s Beanie Baby” oh my God you’re right. As for the “Fortnite Formula,” you have to give Fortnite credit for actually having an enjoyable and not as costly system. In games like COD/Battlefield, there’s no purpose except for paying $30 for hands. In Fortnite, weapon skins can be applied to everything including vehicles and cost as much as camos in Call of Duty in 2012. Fortnite also doesn’t have a SBMM system that matches you against better or worse players based on how much money you spend. $20 in Fortnite also gets me a Boba Fett skin, his jetpack, a Slave I glider, his Gaffi Stick as a pickaxe, and an emote plus currency leftover - AND I see my cosmetics at all times. Nowadays Call of Duty charges you $20 for weapon camos that can only be applied to one gun by masking it as a “variant.” In short these companies saw Fortnite’s monetary plans and did their best to make it as scummy as possible (looking at you Halo Infinite, charging $20 for a weapon keychain). We’re at an incredibly dark point in shooter games and I wish players would support things like Enlisted or any other indie shooter studios as opposed to paying $70 just because it’s a recognizable video game title.
You see what happens Larry! When you find a Stranger in the Alps!
Every game in 2021 failed us...
Metroid Dread was pretty good.
Halo infinite?
How the heck does specific "hero" characters instead of ops incentivize skins over having an individual player character with different kits for the different classes that you can endlessly customize? Works for Rising Storm: Vietnam.
It was a battle royale first, and EA/DICE didn't want those unique operator/specialist assets to go to waste.
"When the greed and thirst for money is too great, so you don't care about quality of the game, and your community anymore"
"I feel like I'm living in the goddamned Witcher where everyone is a piece of shit". Lol. Lmao.
They could do classes and still have specialist, or did they forget the other FPS game they’ve made? Battlefront 2? You know the one that had 4 classes and “specialists” they could have both characters with unique abilities aswell as your regular soldiers, because it wasn’t the gameplay people hated it was the garbage ass monetization
Battlefront 2 was actually a really solid game compared to this. The classes are actually individual with different load outs and abilities. Each on is played unique, and they have different skins and characters for each side.
@@zaneebel6304 yeah, that as what I mean all they had to do was take the battlefront 2 gameplay/mechanics, get rid of the shitty card monitization and there you go, you can still sell the stupid operator skins and have regular load outs too
Even BFV had cosmetic elite “specialist”. It is almost as though they ignored all other BF features because they are “legacy features”.
@@brockv8830 right, I actually forgot about bfv’s “specialist skins”
They already did that they had exactly that in BF1! You had classes and you could pick up the specialists like the trench raider, tankhunter etc.
Yo, Opera is lit. The only bad part is setting up all the plugins and finding all the technical shit you need but man, once you got it set up, you'll never go back. Being able to split my PC between essentially 4 desktops and not losing any performance broke me
I never saw the full video, was there really a roach saying "What a time to be alive?" Like in what world are soldiers dying and getting blown up, and some of them are giddy about being alive during WW3 like it's fun.
They never learn and simply dont care about the quality of the games as long as they can extract cash from people.
It got beat by FARM FREAKING SIMULATOR 3 weeks in a row! A FPS shooter, OUT OF its own platform, outsold by TRACTORS?!? Not even out of its favored platform a fps got outsold by FARMING EQUIPMENT before.
This never happened! What a time to be alive!
At some point, Farm Simulator had sold more copies and had more simultaneous players than Battlefield!
You didn't happen to see Archangel Gabriel flying around with a giant trumpet/horn/bugle, did you? About to announce the apocalypse? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
return to monkey
I mean farmer
Farming Sim should have came prepackaged with a pack of Skoal Dip and brewskies. Imagine the sales then.
This isn't THAT terribly surprising... The Farming Simulator franchise consistently moves about 2 million units per year just on PC and consoles (and it has a large mobile presence as well), it's insanely successful in it's own right. Now granted, 2 million units per year doesn't hold a candle to Battlefield games that are well received like BF4 and BF1, games that have sold 15-20 million copies each... But it can certainly compete with flops like BFV and BF2042 when the servers are basically ghost towns one month after release.
🙃🤣😂😭💀☠️ 🪦 💐
one is a franchise that caters to it's fans, the other is battlefield
the worst part of this is that the big top dudes never get any shit for this
One thing that always definitely works is the in game store, no bugs or issues ever
It also kills me that when you're playing with people you don't know for some reason they will not revive you
idk if it’s just you but i play on pc and get revived all the time
but i feel you
THe thing that kills me is that the bots aren't smart enough to revive you if there is an enemy within even 20 miles
Remember when they said the Beta was actually an old build and we had nothing to worry about...? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Every time
It sure is some "love letter to our fans". More like a "Dear, John" letter....
This is really depressing, I’m a casual BF and been playing since Bad Company 1. The state that this game is in makes it hard to believe it got this point
I miss the days of good old BF2 on PC. Strike at Karkand, running around as a medic or support. Or even the more recent BF1 was pretty good. I just want that experience back. Being part of a massive battle with distinctive sides, and specific roles to play. No stupid fucking operatives or other tacticool shit.
I loved BF2, despite it being a buggy, laggy mess a lot of the time. But in a lot of ways, it put the writing on the wall for everything wrong today... forcing people to play on the "company servers" if they wanted to compete in the "ranked" games to earn the "unlockable" rewards... All precursors to the current microtransaction mess.
All that said, when everything came together, it was a blast to play... And it was the last BF game that actually had a somewhat active modding community actually morphing and improving the game (while also hosting their own servers). Of course, all that nonsense had to be shutdown once the EA Company Store had useless digital chotchkies to sell.
BF2 was great
The good ol' days. IMHO, Squad and Post-Scriptum are the true spiritual successors of the old Battlefield games.
BF2 is a masterpiece. It started off somewhat shaky due to it's ambitious makeup, but not long after it became glorious. I have very fond memories playing Karkand Infantry only on a local server (25ms). Playing medic with the G36E has yet to be topped for me. The DLC for BF3 was a nice effort but the map was way too small.
Opera GX should use Gundam's ad instead of Pewdiepie's low energy version where he sleeps thru the ad read. Gonna download Opera GX now bc they sponsored one of my fav creators
It's really a good browser
Pewdiepie stole memes like NFKRZ (Your mom is the big g*y), all of Dolan Dark's stuff, Pyrocynical and screwed over ads saying N word live and Pepsi/Disney pulled out. I hate that dude. The dude got his money and now he doesn't care for MLG crew. He claims he was part of the old crew and Dolan Dark said fuck nah. Dude wishes Pewdiepie to stfu.
I'm not gonna tell you not to, but do your research on it, if you value privacy you may want to reconsider.
I stopped following Pewds for about half a year now. Never had any inclination of going back to watching him. His "content" is boring and repetitive beyond belief and continues talking like a 4 year old.
I just don't see the appeal of him anymore. It actually requires effort to watch him for me now.
@@abp.dorime7943 Opera does take information. I'm not even sure Duck Duck Go is safe anymore.
IMO Specialists should be treated like Heroes/Villains from Battlefront. You get points during combat that you can save up in game and spend to spawn in as a specialists. That would fix a lot of problems imo, and EA wouldn't have to remove their precious Fortnite/Apex/Overwatch marketable characters
Let me just say this, in a battlefield trailer when it's all out war, and the world is burning, you got a line like "what a time to be aliveeeeeee!".
Like it's some comedy shit or fortnite. Battlefield died for for me after battlefield 4.
Id try bf1 man, its actually pretty fun. Its incredibly stupid that everyone is running around with machine guns in ww1. But from a gameplay perspective I've had a blast with it. Thats what I'm playing now instead of 2042
Removing classes made this game from a "wait for deep sale" to "Nah, I'm not wasting my time with this".
As a majority console gamer, the laat nail in the coffin was crossplay lumping the two very different communities together. PC people stomp console gamers (Besides specifically tailor titles like GoW and Halo), it ruins the experience.
The largest and first nail obviously being removal of specialists, "CoDifying", and overall quality plummet.
EA and Dice had years to learn to code since Battlefield 5. Only pain, you will find.
You’re aware that they released the first Battlefield 1942 back in 2004?
@@smilingbandit4975 i thought it came out in 2002 and had sold 3 million copies by 2004. I also remember it not being a disaster.
Battlefield 5 sold HALF as many copies a year after release than battlefield 1, the game that preceded it. Dice and EA could have taken the L and come up with a gameplan but instead we got this. Even in the Wikipedia article there is a distinction made where "Upon release, Battlefield 2042 received mixed reviews from critics and negative reviews from players". Its a good thing that video game reviewers arent gamers and arent the players that pay for new games.
I'm so thankful that you call this game for what it is. I hope that if enough people call out big developers on this crap (especially their hypocrisies and BS they try to feed us), that maybe, just maybe one day it will be more appealing for companies as a whole to make a good game rather than an empty experience that includes a digital outfit vending machine.
It has been confirmed on another you tube channel that BF2042 WAS originally intended to be battle royale
"If you had told me before reading the article that people would be buying a woman's nasty ass farts. I wouldn't have believed you. Yet here we are. Happy new year". That had me dying😂🤣😂
How can they learn if what they did was intentional. Everything they do is intentional.
yep then abandon the game while gamers get hyped for the next one...lmao
@@johngood7619 Pump and dump AAA half baked quickies.
2021 gaming, boys.
@@johngood7619 Don't think. Just consume product and get excited for next product.
Ps. It works every time.
Operators in CoD aren't hero classes... They are just a fancy word for "skins". They don't change gameplay whatsoever, these CorpoRats don't even understand their competition holy FLARK that's embarrassing
DICE is never gonna recover from this, 2042 is the last straw pulled for DICE/EA the greed train came, failed and went and I couldn't be happier it's great to see greed fall flat on its face.
I've purchased every battlefield game since the early 2000's and this will be the last one....
