    Thank you guys for the massive support on this video! I'm not a great editor, but I wanted to challenge myself and I feel like I did a decent job on this video. There are a few things here and there that I wish I added, but overall I hit the points I wanted to hit. I will take a lot of the feedback from this video and keep it in a document to reference for any other review style videos in the future.

    The primary problem with DICE is that they're not DICE anymore.
    Olof, Lars, Magnus, Stefan, Rob, Patrick, etc... all the founders left and created new studios (Embark being the most famous), leaving DICE being lead by EA, ex-Respawn, Bungie and Ubisoft employees.
    This is a franchise that has lost its identity and I do not think it will get it back ever.

      Then criterion came in , 2012 was a bit meh , Rivals was kinda fine ( cuz graphics was beautiful back then )
      Then Ghost came in and ruined everything

    Retort on the Portal segment.
    The current portal state was not caused by too much freedom, it was caused by too many dumb restrictions and a bad server layout.
    The first thing Dice broke was the full progression on servers set up exactly the same settings as the official servers. To this day you cannot have full progress with the basic settings and the PvP A.I enabled. You are forced to disable the A.I which makes it almost imposible to start and maintain a functional normal server. You also are not allowed to add additional weapons and vehicles to the server, you can only remove from the official list. This way I am not able to host a Breakthrough server that also has helicopters and jets in it like it used to be before DICE ruined it.
    As about the layout: Because there are no filters to separe the normal servers from the heavily modified ones, all the main portal page is left is with all those weird hardcore milsim or zombie serfers which maintain a niche community which only plays that.
    As far as portal is concerned, DICE poisoned the provervial well and so the only lifeforms that can thrive in it are base liforms that can thrive in that poison

    • @alexschneider8494
      @alexschneider8494 5 месяцев назад +9

      THIS. Why would I want to play portal if I can’t level up? And since nobody wants to join empty servers, I HAVE to turn on PvP AI which for some fucking reason disables progression. Why not just turn off progression for PvE AI? 🤦🏼‍♂️

    • @EndersFPS
      @EndersFPS  5 месяцев назад +4

      I see your point, but ultimately if you allow the Battlefield playerbase to do whatever they want it'll result in disaster. Portal must be streamlined in order to make it a more playable experience for everyone.

    One of the big things you missed was the fact that for a full priced game it had multiple paid battle passes and a skin store like Fortnite or overwatch 2. Call me old school but battle passes have no right being in full priced games, especially when new content like weapons and vehicles are locked behind grinding a battle pass instead of vehicles being available to everyone on the maps allowed and weapons being unlocked through assignments.

    They were somewhat unstable though and required a restart 1-2 times an evening so they dialed them back to 100 players.

    I remember back in BFV, when people complained about the glacial dev time of new maps and such, that the whole "but they're free now, whereas older Battlefield titles had paid maps, so don't complain" argument was often used to retort that.
    But, one of the things DICE mentioned was that the idea behind going free maps with a MTX focus was that they could then offer the same amount of maps as before, but that they'd all be free. And that would avoid a problem with older BF games, where their DLC maps were often not popular in servers, because you could only join a server that ran maps you owned.
    Even back then, DICE promised that the move would give as much, if not more, content that would remain free so that they could use MTX for their revenue instead.
    And this is all forgetting that EA is earning way, way more from MTX than they ever did the previous DLC packs. So there's really no excuse for that.

      After BFV's early cancellation, a shit ton of veteran dice devs were fed up with EA's decision making and left the company to make Embark, including almost the entirety of the Frostbite engine team. So basically the newly hired devs basically were placed into a situation where they had zero experience with frostbite and were forced to learn it from the ground up, which it seems to be what most of the development time set on for a major portion of 2042's development time.

      Exactly, that's what I never liked and it was saw as a silly thing that they put natural disasters as the biggest innovation they would bring and launch from the beginning, a complete garbage, putting a tornado in all maps, even in a desert🤣🤣, which at first looked horrible, with trash quality and without any degree of realism, until now they only improved it a little, but it is still garbage, a waste of resources that they could have invested in improving other things or definitely not put it in the game, the only moderately acceptable thing is the sandstorm on some maps, which also needs fixes, but it is more acceptable, EA should have been put those natural disasters little by little or not at all, let's hope for the next Battlefield they better not bring any of that.

    You mentioned the guns and the dismally low recoil, leading to laser behaviour, and I think there's a pretty good solution to this for the next game that would be much more in line with how people want Battlefield to play. Physicalise the weapons. I've been playing a lot of Helldivers and some Insurgency Sandstorm, and both games treat the gun as a physics oblect with real interaction with the environment. This allows recoil to be properly simulated by imparting a force onto a physics object, and means that projectiles leave the barrel properly, instead of coming from the sight or the player's face. This would then make attachments even more useful, because they could change the effect of the recoil physics in a simulated manner, rather than just as numbers on a spreadsheet. It would also make hip-fire a lot more intuitive, because the bullets would actually just go where the barrel is pointing, not wherever in a crosshair on screen.

    • @KekusMagnus
      @KekusMagnus 5 месяцев назад

      This is only viable in milsims because it adds a host of complications like larger weapons getting hung up on tight corridors and just sucks for fast-paced gameplay.

    • @sleeplessindefatigable6385
      @sleeplessindefatigable6385 5 месяцев назад

      @@KekusMagnus I get your point, but I don't think it would be as much of a problem as you say it does. The prison map in Sandstorm is basically just Operation Locker, and with a full server, it can get pretty chaotic in there, but I've never seen the weapons get stuck on anything or really cause issues. Helldivers, by comparison, is very arcade-y, and I spend just as much time running away from giant bugs or leaping off hills as I do shooting and calling in airstrikes, but the guns have never been a problem for me during. The only time Helldivers' weapons have been an issue is when I need to shoot a bug up close, and that's only because the laser/third person sight get a bit funky at melee range. Mostly, the developers of both games seem to get around it by carefully animating the characters so that the weapons don't clip through things or cause problems, which is something Dice has always been good at. I understand your point that doing it like BF4 would be the best option, but I think the Battlefield playerbase would actually appreciate a total change to the way the guns work, after how bad weapon handling and recoil has been in 2042.

    If they are to revive Battlefield, they need to look back at Battlefield 1942, and Battlefield 2 - both games of which that truly grasped the essence of Battlefield. I also adored Battlefield Vietnam and Battlefield 2142.

    32:46 see thats also a major problem; most of us dont play on super high end systems but rather high mid to low high end and look at these frame drops when 1 grenade goes off on a high end setup, thats cringe for a AAA-game...😂

    BF1 was the last BF game I did enjoy. Soundtrack for the last dlc alone was so dope, 4 horseman of apocalypse was one the best ost ever made.

    Something must have happened during the development that made this game change course, cause so many things point to that this was at some point in time intended to be a followup to BF3 & BF4. Just look at the trailer; The rendezook, the Damavand basejump, the noshair containers - it all screamed BF3 & BF4. Heck, even Pac and Irish was in one trailer. It looked dark, gritty and like a true followup to the proper battlefield-games, and what we then got was something completely different.

    Dolphin diving in bf2 did not allow to spray and pray and it would get u killed close quarters.... bf trying to become cod and fortnites bastard child is the big fail, and no dude bro beard bro with a fkin man bun should be allowed to do with anything to do with a strategic war game......

    I have put hundreds or thousands of hours into each battlefield from Bad Company 2 to BF1. Battlefield 5 got maybe 50-60 hours. 2042 I think I played for like 3 hours and put it down. My favorite franchise and I just couldn't do it. I still bought it, so they won in that respect but I'll be very cautious to buy the next one.
