  • Battlefield 2042 is undergoing a renaissance. No, seriously. After over a year of work and improvements, the Battlefield series has begun to redeem itself. If the media handed out "most-improved" game awards, Battlefield 2042 is an real contender.

    They probably can't change it for this game, but there is still a significant lack of destruction in this game. If it was possible, I'd love a destruction overhaul, but I know it's not going to happen. I just hope they keep it in mind for the next title.

      Facts, I see so few people mention this now, but it's still a huge issue for me. I wish more people would really drill it into DICE's head that destruction is indeed a core pillar of the franchise, because if people stop talking about it, then I fear DICE will also leave it out of the next game too.

    I know it sounds weird but my biggest gripe besides specialists is the animations and overall visual quality of the game. It is odd though because the people who did these things for BF1/BFV are still there. Even BF4s guns are higher quality and the game is a decade old. I understand that this is the least of the games problems but it just feels weird compared to Battefield games that came after BC2.

    Just like a few other people have said in the comments, a big thing for me is lack of destruction in 2042. That's probably because they pushed for 128 players and that needs to go back to 64 players in order for better levolution/destruction and to make it feel like your squad actually has the power to turn the tide

    Would love to see Hardline content make its way into the game. Once in awhile Portal will have DICE/EA official servers with a focus on BF3 or BC2 only. The could do that with a Hardline mode. Not a full port, but a rotation of 3 or so of the most popular modes. Hot wire, heist, and blood money. If not, at least more items like the gas grenades, gas masks, or syndicate weapons. Or even maps like downtown, everglades, the hills. Hardline is still one of my favorite BF games and shooters of all time. I also love 2042. I've been playing since launch and it really has come a long way. Hardline has some great content that could really bring some new life into Portal.

They literally could've copy-pasted MW2019, added some better maps, put dead silence as a perk, toned the footsteps down, and updated the UI a little and it would've been a great game. They obviously didn't do that, and we got the mess that is MWII.

Have enjoyed what I've played but still have issues with things like no server browser and the fact that you can't stay in the same game with the players you've played with or against after a match and have to search for another match again. Also if you have cross play off it can be really difficult to find a game to play and often get put in to empty lobbies.

    It doesn't make much sense to me why the playercount would be up so much right now. As far as I can see, as someone who's casually played a few times a month. It's not improved at all since halfway through last year. It's getting hardly any new modes or maps, bugs that get fixed are replaced with equally infuriating ones, and most of the new guns are Portal guns that should have been unlockable from day 1. Just last week I haven't even been able to play because it doesn't let me use mouse buttons, I can just look around. Getting stucks and having weapons bug out still happens a lot too. The game also is still stupidly heavy on the CPU and performance is inconsistent people claim it's the 128 players but even on an empty server it's higher then the older games by a lot.

    I bought it at 70% discount on Stema some time ago. And unistalled after 80 h of playtime. Even fter so long support this game is messy in so many instances:
    - unnecessary loadings and waiting: started game, seeing greeting/welcome screen... then LOADING AGAIN and after that i see menu, leaving/ending match, then waiting for another is the same story. Disbanding lobbies is pure cancer - why they aren't persistent??? WHY JUST NOT START NEXT MATCH WITH REMAINING PLAYERS, THEN FILL GAPS WITH BOTS????????
    - spatial audio is atrocious - hearing enemies footsteps AFTER they kill you in close quarter
    - transport vehicles are assault ones truly - too much weaponry, including enourmous amount of additional stations, filled with stuff like mortar/missile pods.
    - fighting vehicles also have the same issue - THYE ARE UNNECESSARY!!!
    - netcoding is poor - there is many issues with communication between client and server, especially hit registration got screwed by this (and i have 300mb via newly installed fiber wire)
    - class rework shown how in BF2042 we have too much stuff for equipping - 1st in specialists gadget, then equippable THEN core for class like defib/repair tool. It is too much to properly balance game and making switching a bit tidious to fk enraging
    - reviving is UNNECESSAARY locking you in animation while using defib. It should apply ONLY for reviving by squadmate. Fast reving as med is tidious and feels garbage in comparison to BF3, 4 and 1. ALSO SAME KEY IS BINDED FOR REVIVE, SWAPPING GUNS AND ARMING DIASRMING MCOMS!!! So many times i COULD NOT FK ARM/DISARM OBJ BECAUSE GAMES WANTS TO REVIVE SOME WHO DIED NEAR IT!!!
    - balance fixes ARE TAKING DICE FOREVER, they don't react quickly to bs like quintuple grenade launcher Zain (with XM, SPH and UP TO FK 3 UNDERBARREL!) or SPH being godlike with 2 shot before reload
    - specialists are complete mess in terms of balance, with movement dynasty by Mackay and Sundance, Zain ythe Mass Murdere (look upward), Lis being by far the best engineer choice, Casper the most useful recon and Falck the true essence of OG assault the best support and - for me - best choice overall. Rest varies from mid with specific use in specific situations (Rao, Blasco) to trash (Dozer, Boris - which got picked by me ONLY to unclock Lis)
    - ping system a'la BR - it is fk trash, locked together under one key with spotting (which I liked as working for single squad only) and giving orders
    cherry on top is plus system - completely worked with BR game in mind, if looking FROM HOW MANY FK OPTION YOU CAN SWITCH BETWEEN FREELY!!! 3 FK TYPES OF AMMO, EACH WITH FULL AMOUNT!!! 3 TYPES OF UNDERBARREL GRENADE LAUNCHERS!!!
    Even currently this game screams how FKED development was. They could EASILY gave us game that could rival launch state of BF1, considering 3 years of developing, even with whole pandemic. But nor EA nor DICE menagement gave a sh1t about it. Being too busy with CHASING TRENDS always ends with failure.

    Adding 2042 attachments to portal weapons along with camos and masteries would make the portal weapons feel more like a part of the gun selection. Right now, it feels like they are copy-passed over, or mediocre at best half the time. Rebalancing them and adding these features would make more content with relative ease, and more accessible than other gripes with the game.

    I only played multiplayer.
    The destruction on even the older games like bad company were so much better than 2042.

    In BF4 I used to be able to communicate with the whole squad, there is a menu that allows player to select Go. And the character used to say Go go Go. Players that weren't in my squad could hear me I forgot what it's called. It's similar to the menu in Bf2042 where you can call in vehicle and ask for ammo but in 2042 its limited to your squad in Bf4 the whole 32 player team can hear you say GO GO GO

    I really wish they brought back the moverment from Battlefield 1. Climbing over things literally just feels like when you're in creative mode in Minecraft and you're flying over block after block. They need to bring back feeling the weight of jumping or going prone like not just moving up or down in the same speed but getting slightly faster when you're up one food and having your camera change direction based off how your face would be looking at while climbing over a fence. Even subtle things like when getting up from being prone your camera would slightly go left and right while you're getting up. I would love if they just brought this back up.

    I'm finally starting to enjoy this game like previous Battlefield games, and it has started to draw me back in to play near every day now. My biggest core issues with the game are the 128 player servers (Australia does not have the population to support this all the time), the lack of destruction in maps, which I'm aware can't really be changed now. Finally, the lack of proper server browsers.
    There are other smaller things, such as Nightbirds still needing to be nerfed, and lack of all-chat is annoying for some (I think it is just going to make the game infinitely more toxic) and portal weapons having next to no attachments, but most of that stuff will likely be resolved going forward.
    All things said, I'm surprised by how they've managed to turn this game around. Saying 2042 had "arguably a worse launch than Battlefield V or Battlefront 2" was an understatement, as I don't think it was arguable at all haha. I really hope this game makes a full comeback, which is not likely, but at the very least I hope they've learned some valuable lessons for the next instalment of the franchise.

    I just want them to get rid of the "toggle grenade" feature. You don't cook off throwables. So it doesn't matter to toggle the grenade and run around with it. On console for example you have to press the grenade button and then physically throw it. Instead of just tapping the button and automatically throwing the grenade. And bring back the plus menu (on console) to L1/LB. It sucks holding Triangle/Y to switch attachments. Change that. And it will control a bit better.

    RE: having Exodus Conquest and/or a 64-player CQ mode available 24/7.
    I think this is likely to happen once all map reworks have been completed and released. I feel like Exodus Conquest was originally established as a "cream of the crop" of all the available maps in the game that people liked and acted as an option for those seeking to avoid the worst maps that had yet to be addressed. What's noteworthy here is that new maps and reworked ones have been integrated into this mode as they've launched (as far as I'm aware all the reworks have been added, but I could be wrong about that).
    With those things in mind, I believe that we will eventually end up with both a 64-player and 128-player Conquest mode available at all times and Exodus Conquest will be officially retired as a result of that. There really wouldn't be a reason not to do so as part of their overall "endgame" strategy.

    It occurs to me that you don’t necessarily need anymore specialists in the game. What if they just implement a similar system to Battlefields 1 & 5. Let us have a selection of generic soldier templates with a few variations on uniform types and let us go from there, as long as they’re faction-specific. On the other hand, implementing other characters from past BF games could also work. I would love to see the crew from Bad Company make a return, or how about Sgt. Black from BF3, or Recker or Dima from BF4?
