Dude, yes. I remember me n my die hard BF friends were so hyped cause originally it was only trailers but as soon as I saw gameplay n played the beta I knew nothing from what I loved in earlier battlefields was in this game. Was an obvious cash grab to pull in cod and battle royal players
From launch it was clear that the team at DICE didn’t understand what players liked from BF. This always felt like a dumbed down MW and the specialists were a mistake.

Yeah, the game stumbled so much during its life cycle and somehow went back on almost all improvements made in previous Battlefield games. No BF4's big destruction events, no Hardline's well thought out new modes, no BF1's atmosphere or behemoths, no BFV's movement mechanics or fortifications. Just a pretty barebones Battlefield with maps and modes that are all over the place. The only good new addition are really the bots. It's great to have something to fill empty slots in servers or have some live practice with vehicles against something that acts like players. Or just have a chill environment to grind something in and the game can still be playable after the players have abandoned it. It just had to happen to the weakest Battlefield that I don't see much reason to go back to.

I'll give 2042 this: The cosmetics didn't get too out of hand and stayed on theme. Some of them are a smidge too flashy for my taste, but they are believable. COD just went out of control on that front with skins such as: Nikki Minaj Snoop Dogg Teletubbies/Sesame Street parody skins 8 bit Task Force 141 A Brain in a jar Bad Gundam cosplay skins
As a gundam fan that shit hurt my soul. At least the 2042 people mostly looked like weird soldiers, but man our standards are in the shitter for immersion
@@cabnbeeschurgr6440 not all immersion requires realism. That said, the specialists should have been singleplayer campaign characters instead. And yes, this game should've had a singleplayer campaign in the first place

DICE: "Hey, Battlefield fans! We have this exciting new Battlefield. 2143! Everyone loved the old one so this is a love letter to those fans. However the game is completely broken at launch and barely holds together. 70% of the guns are ported from BF2042 and we've used most of the development time on wacky skins and a half assed extraction mode that's all the hype these days. Oh what? You want walkers in the game? We know they were in the trailers but our team couldn't get them working because technical limitations. Please support us by buying some 30$ skin bundles at the store and in 2 years we might add them in on the final season of the game before we abandon it."
The saddest part is like you said "all the right decisions at the wrong time". Something tells me next bf won’t have QOL improvements and balance changes that 2042 had
@@Insanebeast123Yeah, the last season is geared towards 2142 but not really. Some lore talking about how the PAC and reformed EU started out and how they’re fighting over the new map. A bunch of PAC inspired skins for specialists and barely any EU ones and some PAC skins for vehicles that give the 2042 vehicles the green and tan paint job from 2142. Other than that, not much 2142 stuff
I would love to see that 2 hour review of this games lifespan from you, that would be some trip. It’s crazy to see that it lasted this long, let alone putting in a narrative to tie in 2142. After the nuking of a dedicated single player campaign and disastrous launch, this really is a testament to what’s left of the development team to make something out of this game. Lastly, I worry for the next Battlefield game, since it has been confirmed from that 4chan leak a year ago that they are dead set on keeping specialists, along with making bigger maps with the inclusion of a “Battlefield universe”.
I don't think they would've ended the franchise with a bang in season 8. Everything, i mean EVERYTHING which DICE had done for BF2042 was total and utter bare minimum work. Every time a new update or Event was teased, even the small spark of excitement I had for it was ruined by something low effort. A supposed Season 8 would not have been much different from it's pathetic ending in Season 7. Lets hope the devs and publishers learnt something, but who am i kidding? They didnt. I hope that the next Battlefield at least has good gameplay. We all know its launch will probably be abysmal as always.
2016: battlefield 1 launches to an absolute blow out. Slamming cod Into the ground by the neck and absolutely dominating 2018: battlefield 5 launches to absolute disaster and horrendous PR fuckery. The game was marred in controversy from the start. But in the end, it was to some degree, salvaged and ended off being a pretty enjoyable game given everything that happened. 2021: battlefield 2042 launches off the heels of the craziest hype train ever only to be the most broken buggy disaster of a game, borderline unplayable at the best of times. The game died incredibly fast and even now, 3 years later and numerous updates, the game, though fun, will never shake off the stink of the abysmal launch Soo bad it actually made battlefield 5 look like a masterpiece by comparison. What makes battlefield 2042 worse is the fact that this game was SUPPOSED to be a return to form, AND in some way, an apology for the tremendous fuck up that was battlefield 5. 2042 was supposed to be dice going "we're sorry that the last game was a stinking pile of shit, here's this new game that's actually good" but it wasn't. It was just doubling down on disappointed and broken promises. Here we are, 3 years after launch and 5 years after battlefield 5's launch and what do we have? I mean we don't even have any information on the next game and it's been almost a full 3 years (it's really only been like 2 and a half years but you know what I mean.) battlefield as a franchise is, for lack of a better term, dead. It sucks, I'm hoping we get SOMETHING regarding future titles but I'm not holding my breath at this point.
While not officially confirmed by EA themselves we know that the next title is set in the 2030s with a big emphasis on next gen destruction and Drones with the NATO going up against a PMC. But everything can change since if you look at the files in this game you can see stuff that suggested the original time periods for 2042 was actually set in 2035
@@thecosmonaut4221Another thing is that the next BF is going to be a "live service". Game has not been revealed but this alone means its already dead. Fanbases need to learn to gatekeep more.

@@thecosmonaut4221 I really wish we'd get a 2142 remaster or something. I never got to play the game, but I remember watching gameplay for it years ago and it looked really fun. Shame it's one of the lesser favored games by the fandom
I’m just hoping they make it a gritty, immersive and somewhat relatable atmosphere that takes the games ‘war’ theme seriously. But we all know that’s just how it is sometimes.
Despite the shit launch, its quiet surprising they did get past year 1 and let out 3 extra unexpected seasons. As a bf3 vet I still do find 2042 to be fun, just kept back by its downfalls and lack of care
@@sussyman9034 It's the devs. They fucked over the gamr again and again, both e with the low amount of post launch content, the shitty lost lainch maps and their horrible balance practices. With DICE at the helm, Battlefield will never be good again.
Playing orbital the other day and the stealth bomber with the kerosene bombs kept nuking D. Until this video I didn’t know it was a flying piece of paper, but with no opposition it really does damage
Just found your channel through this video. Where have you been all these years? I’ve been missing actual battlefield franchise youtubing ever since the ogs left for call of duty
I just wish that next game doesn't have universal operators. Faction based ones are fine to me. I hope they won't make the guns a complete laser guns like they're in 2042 (BF V, 1, 4 and 3 has way better gunplay). I hope if they bring optical sights to next game they improve them, 2042 optics are absolutely horrible. I felt like vehicles got nerfed to the ground almost immediately in 2042... I still remember those days when all the custom servers had rules like no stinger / javelin to protect the vehicles... I didn't like those rules but also nerfing the vehicles into barely usable ones is annoying. There should be just more ways to counter them. Not to make them weak.
individual operators remove any imagination one has towards the actual game i felt.Obviously they did it for money but why couldn’t just have paid for uniforms and make a short singleplayer game with diversity to get the esg points? some serious iq points are lacking at dice studios
They can just do it like bfv and have different classes have a bunch of assault options. Aside from the hero skins or whatever, bfv's customization was amazing
@@hoplite-official5011 I totally agree with you. But i feel like because it makes them money, they're going to implement it anyway. That's why i keep my hopes kinda low and wish they would atleast limit them to factions.
A big shame 2042 didn’t have a campaign. I actually liked most of the lore that built the world before, during, and after the conflict of 2042 and wish they could’ve done something more impactful than calling card descriptions and the codex. Although looking back on how it launched, I’m kinda glad they didn’t have that chance to fumble.
They say they will stop developping content by season 7 but we still get new cosmetic bundle every week , i wonder how many cosmetic bundle they have left until the game is really out of new content
I'd never heard of Battlefield 2143 before. I'll have to look into its story, but the skins calling back to that make me wonder, are they trying to imply the next battlefield game is going to be a reboot of 2143? Or is that a completely wacky guess? We won't know until announcement I guess, and there's always room for internal shakeups too.
Excellent video, I really like your editing style and your opinion on things. I just wanted to correct something : The Draugr has a jammer, you need to enable it before the rocket get shot
Its weird honestly kinda forgot this game existed for a bit. Its really the only Battlefield game I haven't gotten since I started playing playing with 3
I actually really liked Frontlines. I thought it was fun and unique. Future Strike thing was also really fun until, like you said, people stopped playing the objective. Still thought this season was fine, but could’ve been better.
Redacted being the best Metro-like? Surprised Underground didn't get a mention. It took all the learned lessons from the updated Metro of BF4, and then added proper flanking and overwatch verticality.
In a game where you can change your mags on the fly not really and I used it to poke holes at Dice’s design philosophy that they have kept for years now
I like Haven on Breakthrough only, I can't stand it on CQ, they need to remove it from the Close Quarters playlist and just make it Stadium and Redacted 24/7. Everytime Haven comes around, I leave the server, and there is only 1 server on that playlist in OCE so I have to sit and wait until the next round to play the other infantry maps.
Love the vid man, but I really gotta disagree on Redacted. Personally, I hate it. It feels like they wanted to make another metro, but the specialist system destroys it. I'm more of an Exposure guy: big open map, lots of great close quarters areas, beautiful design.
Not too much new stuff said here but totally agree on shutdown actually beeing one of the best modes of 2042 - actually, I thought this was the first mode the characters actually made sense
Crossing my fingers that DICE learn, bounce back, and revert back to old BF style. No stupid specialist, teamwork, and somewhat more realistic gunplay than the Arcady shooter COD style.
I know it probably wasn't intended as a callous insult but I did feel that the statement, "so because of people's refusal to upgrade, we were shit out of luck," was kinda sus. But beyond that, pretty nice breakdown of the game's life, since I did not keep up with the game at all, since I still felt burned by how BFV ended just before it started getting good. I'll remain skeptical of buying any new battlefield game if they always end up feeling like missed opportunities like how 2042 did.
I bought the game when it was on sale a few months ago and I’m so glad I didn’t pay full price for it. I don’t think it’s a bad game but it’s a huge disappointment
They added the ak5c, the scorpion, a sraw and the aws. Why didn't the game just launch with fan favorites literally no one would've complained. Attempting to make their own battlefield did nothing but hurt the game, this is the first battlefield I skipped snd I've been playing since bad company
I hated that they went out of there way to make lore for the game but they never made a campaign, the main reason why I play shooters is for the story rather then the multiplayer.

The cosmetics didn't get too out of hand and stayed on theme. Some of them are a smidge too flashy for my taste, but they are believable.
COD just went out of control on that front with skins such as:
Nikki Minaj
Snoop Dogg
Teletubbies/Sesame Street parody skins
8 bit Task Force 141
A Brain in a jar
Bad Gundam cosplay skins
As a gundam fan that shit hurt my soul. At least the 2042 people mostly looked like weird soldiers, but man our standards are in the shitter for immersion
@@cabnbeeschurgr6440 not all immersion requires realism. That said, the specialists should have been singleplayer campaign characters instead. And yes, this game should've had a singleplayer campaign in the first place
@@timur5219 but immersion does require consistency. Bf2042 and cod have none.
@@cabnbeeschurgr6440 I understand that
Didnt they add a santa claus skin a while back? or better yet a skin that looked like sheriff woodie?
I hate the idea of "events." they really dont do anything or add anything but give the illusion of new or more content.
It’s all just for skins basically
Me still playing bf1 and tf2 while this shit has finally been ended fuck yeah.
TF2 😩 Me childhoid
Ps2 battlefront or dice/battlefront? I personally play ps2 versions to this day over the abominations that where released recently but there both better then this shit lol
@@j-thugger5057 I mean battlefield 1 my guy.
I love bf1, but damn I'm so tired of playing the base game maps
@@highoffgunpowder8208 I persoanlly find matches on cape helles, argonne forest and fort de vaux. I live in southern europe and play at weekends around midnight.
I would ask the next game be 2143, but I know they would fuck it up so I won't bother.
DICE: "Hey, Battlefield fans! We have this exciting new Battlefield. 2143! Everyone loved the old one so this is a love letter to those fans. However the game is completely broken at launch and barely holds together. 70% of the guns are ported from BF2042 and we've used most of the development time on wacky skins and a half assed extraction mode that's all the hype these days. Oh what? You want walkers in the game? We know they were in the trailers but our team couldn't get them working because technical limitations. Please support us by buying some 30$ skin bundles at the store and in 2 years we might add them in on the final season of the game before we abandon it."
This whole video should be shortened to: "play battlefield 1"
Yes ( me responding while I play battlefield 1 on my steam deck outside)
@@thecosmonaut4221 real
It's fun and all but I swear I always get the team that is mostly new EA play users, thene other team is level 150s
Or BF4
The saddest part is like you said "all the right decisions at the wrong time". Something tells me next bf won’t have QOL improvements and balance changes that 2042 had
I’m seething that we didn’t get a 2142 season as a send off even though I stopped around season 3
new season is all themed around 2142, what?
@@T0asty- I must’ve Miss understood the video thought he said it was some limited events that had 2142 themed stuff
@@Insanebeast123Yeah, the last season is geared towards 2142 but not really. Some lore talking about how the PAC and reformed EU started out and how they’re fighting over the new map. A bunch of PAC inspired skins for specialists and barely any EU ones and some PAC skins for vehicles that give the 2042 vehicles the green and tan paint job from 2142. Other than that, not much 2142 stuff
I'm glad. I don't want 2142 to be dragged through the mudd by appearing in this dumpster fire
All i know is a chunk of battlefield devs went and made The Finals and that shit fucking rocks
I would love to see that 2 hour review of this games lifespan from you, that would be some trip.
It’s crazy to see that it lasted this long, let alone putting in a narrative to tie in 2142. After the nuking of a dedicated single player campaign and disastrous launch, this really is a testament to what’s left of the development team to make something out of this game.
Lastly, I worry for the next Battlefield game, since it has been confirmed from that 4chan leak a year ago that they are dead set on keeping specialists, along with making bigger maps with the inclusion of a “Battlefield universe”.
I don't think they would've ended the franchise with a bang in season 8. Everything, i mean EVERYTHING which DICE had done for BF2042 was total and utter bare minimum work. Every time a new update or Event was teased, even the small spark of excitement I had for it was ruined by something low effort. A supposed Season 8 would not have been much different from it's pathetic ending in Season 7. Lets hope the devs and publishers learnt something, but who am i kidding? They didnt. I hope that the next Battlefield at least has good gameplay. We all know its launch will probably be abysmal as always.
2016: battlefield 1 launches to an absolute blow out. Slamming cod Into the ground by the neck and absolutely dominating
2018: battlefield 5 launches to absolute disaster and horrendous PR fuckery. The game was marred in controversy from the start. But in the end, it was to some degree, salvaged and ended off being a pretty enjoyable game given everything that happened.
2021: battlefield 2042 launches off the heels of the craziest hype train ever only to be the most broken buggy disaster of a game, borderline unplayable at the best of times. The game died incredibly fast and even now, 3 years later and numerous updates, the game, though fun, will never shake off the stink of the abysmal launch Soo bad it actually made battlefield 5 look like a masterpiece by comparison.
What makes battlefield 2042 worse is the fact that this game was SUPPOSED to be a return to form, AND in some way, an apology for the tremendous fuck up that was battlefield 5. 2042 was supposed to be dice going "we're sorry that the last game was a stinking pile of shit, here's this new game that's actually good" but it wasn't. It was just doubling down on disappointed and broken promises.
Here we are, 3 years after launch and 5 years after battlefield 5's launch and what do we have?
I mean we don't even have any information on the next game and it's been almost a full 3 years (it's really only been like 2 and a half years but you know what I mean.) battlefield as a franchise is, for lack of a better term, dead. It sucks, I'm hoping we get SOMETHING regarding future titles but I'm not holding my breath at this point.
While not officially confirmed by EA themselves we know that the next title is set in the 2030s with a big emphasis on next gen destruction and Drones with the NATO going up against a PMC. But everything can change since if you look at the files in this game you can see stuff that suggested the original time periods for 2042 was actually set in 2035
@@thecosmonaut4221Another thing is that the next BF is going to be a "live service". Game has not been revealed but this alone means its already dead.
Fanbases need to learn to gatekeep more. There are fanbases who tell you yhat if you dont like how things are, they tell you fuck off and play something else.
The downfall pattern that battlefield has taken is sad.
@@thecosmonaut4221 I really wish we'd get a 2142 remaster or something. I never got to play the game, but I remember watching gameplay for it years ago and it looked really fun. Shame it's one of the lesser favored games by the fandom
I’m just hoping they make it a gritty, immersive and somewhat relatable atmosphere that takes the games ‘war’ theme seriously.
But we all know that’s just how it is sometimes.
Despite the shit launch, its quiet surprising they did get past year 1 and let out 3 extra unexpected seasons. As a bf3 vet I still do find 2042 to be fun, just kept back by its downfalls and lack of care
You say that Haven favors defenders, but my team always refuses to stay near to point so they always get capped within 5 min of retreating.
5:55 me realizing that’s literally a building model from Battlefield 4
I haven't touched this game for months, been playing gems like BF4, XDEFIANT, INSURGENCY SANDSTORM, ACE COMBAT 7, and Mudrunner on my PS5.
Wowbro thats so relevant that you've found other things to do with your time like mudrunnet
Ahh yes. Games I have to force myself to play to get my money's worth 😂
@@highoffgunpowder8208 your brain, blast it out
Insurgency one of the most slept on fps games period! Cannot wait until they release a new title made on new console engines my god!
@@allpraisewebb1142 they won't, embracer group owns its souk now it prolly won't last very long sadly.
i will never purchase another battlefield ever these "new" devs are soo useless its not the same people back in the day
It’s not the devs, it’s the publisher. EA is garbage
Its not the devs fault, it's the higer ups that give them orders
@@sussyman9034
It's the devs. They fucked over the gamr again and again, both e
with the low amount of post launch content, the shitty lost lainch maps and their horrible balance practices.
With DICE at the helm, Battlefield will never be good again.
Big props for playing BO3 custom zombies
Playing orbital the other day and the stealth bomber with the kerosene bombs kept nuking D. Until this video I didn’t know it was a flying piece of paper, but with no opposition it really does damage
I was so excited for 2042 when i saw the first trailers, im still sad to see that it went down like this
Just found your channel through this video. Where have you been all these years? I’ve been missing actual battlefield franchise youtubing ever since the ogs left for call of duty
I just wish that next game doesn't have universal operators. Faction based ones are fine to me. I hope they won't make the guns a complete laser guns like they're in 2042 (BF V, 1, 4 and 3 has way better gunplay). I hope if they bring optical sights to next game they improve them, 2042 optics are absolutely horrible. I felt like vehicles got nerfed to the ground almost immediately in 2042... I still remember those days when all the custom servers had rules like no stinger / javelin to protect the vehicles... I didn't like those rules but also nerfing the vehicles into barely usable ones is annoying. There should be just more ways to counter them. Not to make them weak.
2042: marketed as Battlefield. Built like CoD and Overwatch
individual operators remove any imagination one has towards the actual game i felt.Obviously they did it for money but why couldn’t just have paid for uniforms and make a short singleplayer game with diversity to get the esg points? some serious iq points are lacking at dice studios
They can just do it like bfv and have different classes have a bunch of assault options. Aside from the hero skins or whatever, bfv's customization was amazing
@@hoplite-official5011 I totally agree with you. But i feel like because it makes them money, they're going to implement it anyway. That's why i keep my hopes kinda low and wish they would atleast limit them to factions.
@@cabnbeeschurgr6440 if the operators in 2042 were like elite skins in BFV it would've been fine so long as we had country-based uniforms
I remember playing the last medal of honor, BF3, BF4 and WW2. This looks dope, should play BF again.
5 days later, DED SPAYYYCE BBY
Lmaoo
hi chito, was there a lot of time to play video games on your Last Tour?
Not really cause Yu can’t drive for shit
A big shame 2042 didn’t have a campaign. I actually liked most of the lore that built the world before, during, and after the conflict of 2042 and wish they could’ve done something more impactful than calling card descriptions and the codex. Although looking back on how it launched, I’m kinda glad they didn’t have that chance to fumble.
They say they will stop developping content by season 7 but we still get new cosmetic bundle every week , i wonder how many cosmetic bundle they have left until the game is really out of new content
As someone who doesn't play Battlefield or have any idea of what's going on, I agree!
Still crazy how batlefield and bf2 are enenies yet friends
Nice pfp bro
You too bro
As someone who pre-ordered the game, i wish they never changed any with the class.
I'd never heard of Battlefield 2143 before. I'll have to look into its story, but the skins calling back to that make me wonder, are they trying to imply the next battlefield game is going to be a reboot of 2143? Or is that a completely wacky guess? We won't know until announcement I guess, and there's always room for internal shakeups too.
really hits hard to know the battlefield 2142 references won't go anywhere. 2142 was a game I spent way too much time in!
Excellent video, I really like your editing style and your opinion on things. I just wanted to correct something : The Draugr has a jammer, you need to enable it before the rocket get shot
Its weird honestly kinda forgot this game existed for a bit. Its really the only Battlefield game I haven't gotten since I started playing playing with 3
Is your intro scene fkn that one map from bf1, think its like neville night or somethin like that?
Yup
@@thecosmonaut4221 hell yeah brother, amazing map
2042 is honestly in a great spot right now. Game should have released in this state but overall excited for the sophomore year of the new dev team
I actually really liked Frontlines. I thought it was fun and unique. Future Strike thing was also really fun until, like you said, people stopped playing the objective. Still thought this season was fine, but could’ve been better.
We will be there hopefully when the next game comes out unless stuff happens.
they're still doing smaller content drops lmao it was just the last big seasonal update
I forgot this game was a thing. Still gonna watch your video
The LMG is also from BF4, its the AWS
"The darkness of the afterlife is all that awaits you now, may you find more peace in that world than you did in this one."
How did they release a new aircraft set in some semi rralistic future setting WITHOUT COUNTERMEASURES?!
Stealth Heli sounds like a Night Futy from HTTYD
Back to BF1 with the boys, going back in time to save the title 😂
I hope if the next game is 2140 that it doesn't have any laser weapons as primary and just those ballistic
Redacted being the best Metro-like? Surprised Underground didn't get a mention. It took all the learned lessons from the updated Metro of BF4, and then added proper flanking and overwatch verticality.
I hope we are all ready for whatever is coming next to be even worse
Is the game worth getting for $5 or whatever the steam sale is rn?
Yes. The game is worth $5 that’s a steal for the contnet you’re getting upfront
Well, I have BF1, Insurgency Sandstorm & Hell Let Loose (soon Squad as well) that I'll happily play until Battlefield stops being crap.
Now can they go work on battlefront 3?
17:59 That is a MECH/Mechanically Enhanced Cybernetic Humanoid.
HOW MANY MONTHS DID IT TAKE?!
The DFR Strife is the only LMG that can switch between box mags and belt feed, is that not unique enough for you? Lol it's like a modernized m249 SAW.
In a game where you can change your mags on the fly not really and I used it to poke holes at Dice’s design philosophy that they have kept for years now
I like Haven on Breakthrough only, I can't stand it on CQ, they need to remove it from the Close Quarters playlist and just make it Stadium and Redacted 24/7. Everytime Haven comes around, I leave the server, and there is only 1 server on that playlist in OCE so I have to sit and wait until the next round to play the other infantry maps.
Love the vid man, but I really gotta disagree on Redacted. Personally, I hate it. It feels like they wanted to make another metro, but the specialist system destroys it. I'm more of an Exposure guy: big open map, lots of great close quarters areas, beautiful design.
Not too much new stuff said here but totally agree on shutdown actually beeing one of the best modes of 2042 - actually, I thought this was the first mode the characters actually made sense
Maybe new BF Vietnam?
They’ll make a “modern version with modern narratives, think of CoD Cold War
That's be wicked if they did cause the memes would be so good 😂
I would love that but they would butcher it with modern politics. And I don't want to see that.
I think they're probably going to do another modern game. Set before 2042 but after bf4
With 80% of the BF5 story being hot garbage, I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up with another "do you speak Japanese" scene
I played battlefield 2042 once. And then I uninstalled it and went back to Battlefield 1.
Played BF4 last night for the 1st time in years got into a DLC map only playlist … it was night and day compared to BF2024 … how do you go so wrong …
Looking at the player counts for BFV and 2042 is hilarious
holy shit buildings you can actually destroy
Wait this game was still going?!
Is this channel related to The Cosmonaut Variety Hour?
really enjoyed all those bf4 weapons in the last season
Crossing my fingers that DICE learn, bounce back, and revert back to old BF style. No stupid specialist, teamwork, and somewhat more realistic gunplay than the Arcady shooter COD style.
Where your profile pic from I love it
Girls’ last tour
I actually wonder if they would have been saving a 2142 aesthetic for a sequel. They liekly wont go there again now after the performance of this game
I know it probably wasn't intended as a callous insult but I did feel that the statement, "so because of people's refusal to upgrade, we were shit out of luck," was kinda sus. But beyond that, pretty nice breakdown of the game's life, since I did not keep up with the game at all, since I still felt burned by how BFV ended just before it started getting good. I'll remain skeptical of buying any new battlefield game if they always end up feeling like missed opportunities like how 2042 did.
I have no faith in old studios owned by big companies. They have all lost their soul in the name of shareholders.
Huge respect to your pfp, I love girls last tour it holds a specials place in my heart
Finally, one finale mistake and it over for this franchise just 3 strikes.
Can’t wait for the Live Service Battle Royale BF6/7 game 😁
I bought the game when it was on sale a few months ago and I’m so glad I didn’t pay full price for it. I don’t think it’s a bad game but it’s a huge disappointment
They added the ak5c, the scorpion, a sraw and the aws. Why didn't the game just launch with fan favorites literally no one would've complained. Attempting to make their own battlefield did nothing but hurt the game, this is the first battlefield I skipped snd I've been playing since bad company
I hated that they went out of there way to make lore for the game but they never made a campaign, the main reason why I play shooters is for the story rather then the multiplayer.
I wish that they added back customization like bf5 but kept the realism up
I love battlefield but goddamn that haven map tested me, I stopped playing after I realized nothing really changed this season
The next battlefield being another “tremendous live service”
Objective E on amines is hell.
