I really hope operators don’t become standard in battlefield i simply want UNIQUE factions with there own generic soldiers modeled differently. I never loved the way operators looked and seeing 30 of the same face on either side really took me out of it. Along with bringing back naval combat battlefield to me was the whole trio at play Land,Air, and sea
I like the operators it was a unique choice they done but I wish in next BF is to customize our own soldier to make it a funny looking or badass one that what I want to see.
for me the uniqueness came from classes, being a part of a squad that needed more components than one person could bring to the fight, working as a team, instead bf2042 was just everyone could be everything, so "inclusive" of them
Not mention the game is still lacking basic features like a server browser and rent a server. The fact that most game modes are temporary week long "events" still sucks.
@@m27zero44 yep, 6 new maps in 2 years. I don't think I need to say more and before you mention the re-works (that's on them for making the maps so shit in the first place)
I'm not prepared to say DICE is redeemed at all. I can recognize the effort that has been ongoing to make the game better, but I will not forget about the differences in the core ideas that this team brought to 2042 in comparison to the rest of the franchise. They showed they lack an understanding of Battlefield fans. They can only redeem themselves with the next title, not 2042.
Exactly. Let's also not forget that DICE has absolutely bombed on their last 3 consecutive launches: 2042, BFV, and Battlefront 2. If they were "redeemed", they wouldn't keep making avoidable mistakes, especially with the community screaming warnings at them.
exactly, i always talk about that!! BF3/BF4 setting, BF1 athmosphere with all that was PERFECT10/10 in BFV: the gunplay, squad mechanics, movement, rock/paper/scissors class system, vehicle mechanics, ballistics, destruction, sounds, and Halvoy, please bring back Halvoy
@@carrast if we get the ALL the animations that bf5 brought (revives, knife kills, prone, nearby explosions, even the building mechanic) and the gun play. The dark tone, war torn environment from Bf1 and finally the bf3/bf4 setting with its levelution/destruction, ALL the modern weapons we can dream of, classic 4 classes setup, vehicles, and the gunship. I would be so happy that I wouldn’t care if they make the game a live service game and that they keep updating it over and over giving us new content (weapons, maps, skins, gun camos)
I get your point but a BF3 setting with world war 1 atmosphere isnt really possible. People need realistic expectations. BF1 was a work of art, especially at the time it released, but it also helped the immersion alot that the setting was ww1.
Portal would of killed 2042 and I think Dice wasn't willing to add more maps such a shame..Dice sold me Portal a big let down with soo many maps to choose from..
They messed up literally everything about the game man, the guns (there's like 5 news ones), the vehicles (floaty and boring), maps (worst maps since bf1942 and even that game had better destruction), Operators (Fucking generic what's this apex?) I wasn't at all surprised portal was a garbage last ditch effort, just throwing slop at us long time fans.
Are we going to ignore the fact the levelcap jackfrags and many more all KNEW the game was not finished but still told us to buy and only told us the DAY after release leading to the most refund game in history? And all this made your favorite little youtubers super rich but this always gets over looked by the thousands of ten year old followers that could watch people count to a billion
I said this 2 years ago after the beta. Levelcap said that according to the dev, the garbage beta was an "old build". The game was definitely gonna launch complete and would be revolutionary. I was extremely skeptical ever since and didn't buy it. I eventually picked it up for $10. Glad I did. Feel sorry for whoever spent full price and had to wait for 2 yrs to get their money's worth
@D3M0N01Dx533D YES SAME WITH JACK I remember few weeks before launch everyone freaked out about the leaked beta and everyone saw it was NOT ready and jack said it was an OLD build MONTHS old and when the game released it will be finished to trust them and boom day after release truth comes out and they change there mind it was ruthless and thats coming from a die hard jackfrags fan for YEARS he didnt even address and other smaller youtubers said the truth and got there dice pass rejected the proof is all there
I want the next Battlefield game to be more BF3/BF4. 2042 is still not the Battlefield game I want with many missing features, game modes and content. I have no faith that the next Battlefield game will be a Battlefield game I want to play.
You would have to bring back to og devs for that. WW2 (BF5) had so much potential, and we could already smell they are going downhill there, with the idiotic ideas.
@@BBanzajit felt more serious and intense, there wasn’t any COD speed knifing or cheesy skins. It was a straight up war. The last few games feel really out of touch with what made battlefield great in my opinion.
This sums up the whole game for me, especially when you compare it to BFV. BFV also had a train wrecked launch, but I’d prefer that over 2042. The first thing in the video says it perfectly: The atmosphere just isn’t there, it’s too plastic.
I've tried to get into it multiple times. I have 'free' access to it via EA Play Pro or whatever, and I still can't be bothered to play it. Think I've installed/uninstalled 3-4x at this point.
@@greenghost906 Indeed, BFV was flawed but at least it had good foundation which gave the devs a chance of turning it into an enjoyable game. 2042 took so many steps back that nothing short of complete redesign of its core would save it, in which case you might aswell just make a new game from scratch and get rid of the taint associated with the name.
I think they’ve fixed the game as much as they can but there are core things that can’t really be fixed because they were baked into the core design (slippery COD-like movement, downgraded destruction, specialists and the “clone wars” issue they cause in massive player battles, etc)
There is no true battlefield game. There is the most realistic of its era, but in the present era, it isn’t living up to what had made battlefield to be so popular in the first place. Too much copied and heavily influenced by assets that feel like Call of Duty, when Battlefield shouldn’t feel exactly like CoD, it should be its competitor, not beholden to it.
I just still cant get over the hero shooter aspect of the game. As much as dice tried ill never be okay with the fact that there still hero shooter DNA in the game that absolutely doesnt belong im battlefield.
The comments here, the content creators covering the game, the community. Everything said about it just sounds like a broken record that's been stuck in a loop for 2 years. I'm so over 2042 and any news regarding it at this point. Here's to hoping the next installment will be better for all of our sakes (but don't pre-order!). Stay strong level ❤
If it at least had map rotation, then you could experience the available maps one after the other. But since you have to queue again after every match you see some maps over and over and others rarely.
It's almost like there's something to combat this. A SERVER BROWSER. Doesn't fix the lack of maps but at least I can play the maps I like, like every other battlefield game.
Yeah, that's a huge issue for me. Not to mention the fact that you'll sometimes end a game and then the matchmaking will drop you into a game that's half-way over. Often on the same map you just left...
I recently clocked over 50 hours of playtime and im yet to fucking play a single second on Kaleidoscope, Spearhead is fun but my god, it gets boring after 20 times in a row, same goes for redacted and manifest.
As someone that grew up with BF1942, BF2, BFBC2, BF3 and then playing Battlefield 4 professionally for 2 years. There's just nothing appealing for me in BF2042. I think not having any of the old maps is a big point. I loved seeing new variations in better graphics and figuring out new ways to play the maps I played day in and day out as a kid. It just doesn't feel like battlefield to me for some reason, something is missing, but I just can't put my finger on it
I never warmed up to this game. I deleted it 2 years ago and never reinstalled it. It's just not a battlefield game to me. I don't like the way it looks. I don't like the way it sounds. All the guns sound the same to me. Maybe they'll get the next one right and recapture that true Battlefield essence.
Yeah, and i will just never tolerate a specialist system in a battlefield game. Idc that they've been segregated into a more classic class system, i dont want to see any of these overly flamboyant characters at all, it ruins the entire environment seeing all these clones running around on both sides
Completely agree. All guns sound the same, movement is too fast paced, headshot multipliers are ridiculous, tickrate is awful, gunplay is bad and no recoil patterns to master. Maps are mid at best. Too much verticality and rat spots. Everything looks too plastic and prestiene. Not to mention Specialists who have their own unique abilities. If you can see someone, you can pretty much kill them from any range with any weapon. The whole game is a shit show.
I was half listening while eating and i heard lvlcap say "not even close, the game is a dumpster fire" i was like wow he's really letting them have it.
For me, it's the operators. I hate the specialist stuff. I play BF3 in the portal because I like the fact that everyone looks like soldiers/marines etc... I don't need named characters with special abilities. BF4 was the gold standard when it came to player characters. I don't want to be Irish (cool character but not who I want to be) or any of the others. I want to he nameless pfc shmuckatelly with basic realistic kit.
I really miss how all the vehicles were physically on the map in BF3. I'm sure there's a reason they ditched that. But I really enjoyed taking off from a runway.
Unplayable on Xbox Series X and I know for a fact that I'm not the only one having this issue. It's not a ventilation issue, it's not a cache storage issue, its not a defective console, it's a BF2042 issue. Not a single one of the other games in my library has this problem EXCEPT another one that is "coincidentally" also made by Dice/EA: Star Wars Battlefront II. Happens much less on that, so I bear with it. I can usually get through 5-6 matches of Heroes vs Villains, or go through a whole week of playing without the game crashing. So I'm not too bothered. But the fact that BF2042 cannot go more than 1 full match of conquest before causing my Xbox to straight up just crash and shut down, is pathetic. Everyday that I have played the game, it has happened, without exception. I am a huge fan of the franchise, and I can acknowledge the many improvements that they made to the game, many of which you mentioned Levelcap, such as the hybrid adaptation of the class system, however the game is quite frankly, unplayable for me after 2 years, and at some point I grow tired of giving them any credit at all for it. It absolutely sucks, considering I've been a huge Battelefield guy since BF3.
The fact that it launched without a scoreboard is so....pathetic still. 5 months is what it took them for *just* that. A basic function like an FOV option. IMO. I think 2042 now is fun. I play it daily. LVL 187 atm. Over 1k hours. Part of the reason of course, there's nothing else close to it. I got used to the specialists and after playing a few rounds BF 4, I felt I missed them. Change is always hard. But there is no denying that it launched completely 1-2 years too early. And that still bites. Also 6 maps is...ridiculous. 2042 design doc's hinted at a much better, darker game. With new level of destruction etc. We didn't get any of that. I mean most maps still have sunshine and all. It feels more like arenas than war. BF 1 really felt so visceral and brutal. I miss that. The next BF will make or break the series.
"next one will make or break the series" that's what people said after BF V. That one was supposed to be the black sheep of the family, and 2042 was supposed to be the redemption. Only it was way worse and actually makes V look not half bad by comparison.
People can say what they want about battlefield 2042 I’ve enjoyed the rollercoaster of the last 2 years but at the end of the day I’m just so so greatful it don’t have skill based matchmaking
People loving this game is a massive L for battlefield fans, this gives devs and executives the green light to experiment and steer clear from the BATTLEFIELD FORMULA which we all love. It’s like an invasion on our beloved franchise. RIP BATTLEFIELD! 💔
Ive tried probably 8 times to play the game and give it a fair chance but a more competitive FPS that doesnt even launch with a scoreboard always sticks with me. There was so much hope and its hard for look past it all.
It's a fun game but with the level of content set in modern settings like bf3&4, it's hard to say it's good when put next to those games. I don't get how they can't just see that that formula works and they just work on perfecting that
I've been playing since launch. The game is definitely vastly improved from launch and I consider it now to be a good game. That said, I definitely feel the lack of actual new content vs the older game. We are still missing platoons and community management tools (group persistent server management) which are quite important in my opinion to be able to keep portal servers alive and properly policed for cheaters.
I'm not going to celebrate improvement upon utter dog shit. I think my entire platoon, including me did what we never imagined we'd do... Turned 2042 off and prayed Call of Duty would be good. Was always a Battlefield fanboy but when Battlefield became CoD, CoD does it better.
@BiG__Disgruntled Sorry to say, but COD is also utter dogshit right now as well. Cannot win either way but still prefer Battlefield style to COD. Vehicles in COD suck.
Started playing bf2042 this month , felt pretty good , but you nailed only thing that's a mines is the maps , but when playing in portal some bf3 maps is awesome they really could remaster old maps would be a huge win
From a gameplay perspective the game has significantly improved, that much is true. What still prevents me from recommending the game to anyone is the amount of technical bugs that have plagued the game since launch. We have not had a season without some sort of bug that severely affects gameplay (black screen post end of game on S6 being the latest example). If the game was in a better more solid technical foundation I would likely recommend it to all. Also I hope the next BF game finally (FINALLY) jumps to the future and re-engages with the idea that was presented in BF2142. This time in fact with Zampella on board and with the learnings from Titanfall series, I can see a magnificent Battlefield /Titanfall hybrid be released into the public to be the end-all of futuristic military FPS.
This WAS supposed to be that definitive future battlefield, I don't see them trying that setting again for a while unfortunately because they completely tarnished the idea of a "modern futuristic Battlefield game". And even if every single bug was fixed, I couldn't recommend the game to anyone unless they're into the most generic Fps Games because this game now literally has a third of the content bf4, bf1, and even bf5 had at launch (not counting their expansive dlc) And gameplay/destruction features absent that have dated back to bf1942. And don't say portal makes up for it because its reused assets thrown into the shit 2042 engine, slop.
I personally hate this game. I bought it in launch day, deleted it, reinstalled it (played some seasons) and then deleted it again and i don't think i am coming back to it. The weapons are all the same, i don't like the vehicles and i am not even going to talk about the cosmetics and the lack of maps. For me battlefield 4 will always be the best battlefield.
How did Levelcap do this video without mentioning the AI bot filled lobbies. That pretty much ruined the game for me. I would prefer to wait the extra couple minutes to get a lobby any day.
Yep, Lack of maps is super killer right now. Remember all the amazing BF 4 expansions? China Rising, The Naval Maps, some sweet shit! Now we barely get any maps lol
7 maps at launch with 6 portal maps and 6 new from seasons. Technically 19 but really 13. BFV had 19. Battlefield 3, 4 and 1 had around 30. 30 vs. 13. Remember those numbers when next game preorder comes around. #neverpreorder
(Long Winded Rant) I have been an avid BF player since Battlefield 2: Modern Combat and have played every game since that. BF3 being my personal favorite and is when/how I discovered your RUclips channel when you were using Symthic to make weapon reviews. It is my personal opinion Dice has never had a successful launch, EVER, there has always been bugs and balancing issues though by the first year most are usually fixed. That being said that was half the fun watching the game grow and be fixed, remembering how things use to be by year 3 of the title. Having returned to 2042 recently these are my current opinions on the state of the game and would like to think most BF Veterans would agree; They tried to compete with Call Of Duty and failed miserably alienating most of their player base in the process, I can not fault them for this because money is money and suggestions were forced onto the teams due to greed from stock holders & corporate suites that probably had never played. - Skill based gameplay has been stripped from the game with most weapons having minimal recoil and an abundance of launchers that lock onto vehicles, ETC. - Team based gameplay has been stripped with the removal of classes. In example I can be Medic with ammo boxes and the ability to destroy vehicles needing no one on my team. - TTK to me feels so fast so in the high player count servers with the abundance of people camping trying to PTO becomes just a horde movement game style - Rush seems to have been forgotten about it is the only game mode in portal that you can not use the rules editor on and IMO was the most competitive game mode (I would love to be able to edit the arming time, defuse time and overall amount of time till detonation, yet Its impossible...RIP Squad Rush) - Bots/Unlocks it seems 50% of the current community would rather feel like badass' killing bots getting unlocks then actually playing and possibly losing thus dividing the player base into to many servers. (I fail to understand the love of servers with boosted bullet velocity aswell if you want to play COD go play COD) These are my biggest complaints, I could go on, but its nothing that hasn't been said before so I'll list a few things I do enjoy; - Portal is honestly pretty impressive even with some of its short comings - Large selection of weapons, gadgets and equipment is really nice and adds alot of verity in addition to the "personalities" of the charactors I just wish it was more class based and more restricted - Ability to edit your weapon on the fly mid game is...neat... but is a love hate situation with me and I feel would be better suited with a cooldown or crate you call in - The Call In system is also nice, but often forgotten about or over used IMO and I feel could have been implemented better. Most of what I listed will be unable to be fixed in 2042 due to the code and how the game operates, I just hope the next title is a true return to form for dice, so long as you stay true to your fans (remembering that the most vocal players are usually the worst and just here for a short time not a good time) and love what you do you will succeed even if it doesn't create a Hype train at launch it will continue to be played for years to come. If you took the time to read all of this and agree thank you, it means I didnt waste my time writing it. See you on the BattleField friends!
As a person who got the game on release and even played a considerable amount of the game (even through the multiple bugs) I can say that the game is finally how it should've been on release 🤣 Don't get me wrong... the amount of work they put into the game is undeniable. And i've always kept in the back of my mind that most of the veteran devs left the studio during the making of 2042. That's a large set back for DICE as they had to onboard a bunch of new faces to get them up to speed with the Frostbite Engine. I can hop on the game and have a good time playing it but not for long periods of time. But that's probably due to the fact that i'm likely the only person in my friend group to still play the game. Most of my friends were turned off from the start. First impressions are everything to most people. You can still find someone talking crap about No Man's Sky but they know nothing about the game's updates LMAO!
While I'm happy to see DICE fix this game, but I'm probably not gonna buy another game from them again unless it's so good that both the community and professional critics alike say, “Yeah, this game is good.” This is the 3rd time DICE has launched a broken game and turned around to fix it. The launches of BF4, Battlefront, and now 2042. I'm honestly sick of this strange cursed cycle that DICE likes doing.
Need the comedy of bad company / most fun I ever had also had the best designed rush maps. Need the grit and combat of BF3/4 Had great weapon attachments. Atmosphere of BF1 and BF5 along with the destruction. I think if they combined those three ideas we would get a great game
I remember Playing BF2 as 12 year old, if i had this back then i would be blown away still looks amazing even though i has errors.. What a treasure for kids today to have this quality!!
I have actually gone back to play battlefield V and to my surprise there are plenty of full lobbies. Battlefield v just feels more realistic and more natural.
Yes, this is my opinion on 2042. At first I hated BF1 but it has been the only true Battlefield experience since BF4, this includes everything up to BF2042. Even Hardline was better in my opinion.
Needed more maps and more interesting game modes. This game could have really benefited from a "Titan" mode similar to 2142 or added game modes like BF1 with the armored train or blimp. Also, being able to choose what maps you get to play instead of being forced to deal with RNG or having to play a limited time playlist. I'm mostly fine with the specialists and weapons as they are now but there just isn't enough variety map and game mode wise unless we look to Portal and those servers for me have been mostly XP farms or mostly empty.
I stuck with it relatively regularly for the past two years and like you mentioned there’s been so many improvements some have launch. But unfortunately between the “behind the curve” approach to quality of life features and the lack of real identity that games like bfv and bf4 had I’m struggling to find a reason to keep coming back to battlefield and I definitely don’t feel like I got my money’s worth 2 years later Not to mention no campaign or haptic feedback
I happened to be one of the people who preordered the game and have stuck with it all the way through, and maybe you could say i was just trying to get my moneys worth but this game no doubt had a very disappointing launch. Now what they have managed pull through has for sure impressed me. Yes the one thing that always bugged me was just the variety of content at launch but i was very intrigued by the narrative of the game. It was a different and almost realistic take on wars in the not too distant future. Fighting for resources instead of political agendas. I was a huge fan of BF3 & 4 and was just tired of the WW2 game genre and wanted battlefield to continue doing a modern setting in a game. I was open to the idea of specialist and I think today they are way more balanced and useful than they were at launch. I do wish there were more maps that was a let down but they way have reacted the last year has been very good and I'm enjoying the game a lot today with the variety of skins, equipment, weapons, and vehicles. I hope the next battlefield just really brings everyone together and get back to why we play these games
Great Video. You say it how it is. I am a day one player. Its been a rollercoaster. I genuinely love 2042…. For what it is. I honestly think it’s a better game then people say it is. Even in map design. I have tons of fun. I love the action and the chaos. However first impressions are so important and they need to come out strong next time. Even though i like 2042 I’ve been disappointed each time i was hyped for something. The events, the hourglass rework, hoping for more than one map per season. I don’t hate the specialiste within a class system but a campaign would have gone a long way. At least some cinematics. We get amazing trailers and it falls flat. I think There is ton of fun to be had. It feels like battlefield to me but I know it can be so much more. Its the best franchise. They need to show the world next time. Ot is not COD, Apex or fortnite. Its battlefield. I hope they stay true to that. They can make a shit load of money but staying BF. And selling BF ish skins and what not. It will be a win win. It would so nice to finish this off with a heavy drop of content. Maps. Just maps. 2 final seasons of 3 maps each to close it off and move on. I would be ok with that. BTW I really enjoy 128 players much more than 64. On 2042 maps. But a well crafted 64 player map with atmosphere and destruction is what the fans want. They should go back to basics and play it safe next time. And a proper launch.
While I do like the “abilities” that each operator brings, I wish that the abilities were more akin to gadgets that a soldier can bring instead of shoehorning them to a specific operator. Also, bring back soldier models. The only customization I want is changing the camo pattern. Love the firestorm camo pack from bf4
I really loved Battlefield 1. Enjoyed it at launch, then they added a bunch of maps, weapons, and the frontlines game mode. Progression all seemed pretty reasonable with the exception of a couple of unlocks that are incredibly tough. It was both polished and feature-complete. Visibility was reasonable and I enjoyed the vehicle/infantry balance too. Battlefield 5 had that stupid attrition mechanic which isn't fun and I could never see anyone, and 2042 had the whole specialists and terrible maps at launch. It seems to me that the size of the development team keeps ballooning and that probably makes it very difficult for them to iterate on map design or game balance. Hopefully that curse doesn't strike again and they can repeat the success of BF 3, 4, and 1 which are all excellent.
and improve what? The graphics are already insane in any Frostbite-era game. Remaster would just be bloated file size for half the experience when inevitably gun balance is totally wrong. They can't even match half of what BF 4 was anymore. BF 4 was arguably the peak of the series.
Nothing about this game has kept me engaged. I hate the operators and their gimmick abilities, the graphics kinda suck for a game this generation, the weapons and vehicles are just “blah”, season passes in general need to be dumpstered, and the only potential saving grace was Portal and they never truly capitalized on it
The game in my eyes is still caca, i hop on for a match or 2 and feel like no its not there bf4 ...... come on .. 2042 is a joke. they need to move on. and stop tarnishing this IP. i know we will never get another bf 4 or bad company 2, since all the original folk that worked on those games and had the exp. on that engine since they built it. it's sad, and this game makes it worse. flying and all that fells off. i dont have fun its too big. cut maps in half. just feels like another game, and y can't I talk to people. ?!!! WE NEED PROXY CHAT, ITS A QUIET WARZONE , ITS BS
Honestly I didn’t really enjoy battlefield since 4, 1 was ok but the mechanics were very shallow and V was the same as 1 just WW II instead of WW I which didn’t actually feel that different
I definitely held back buying the game 2 years ago. Got it for like $13.99 last month on Xbox and have been grinding it out. Vault weapons and whatnot have been great, but definitely hit the nail on the head with the lack of maps. Wish we could live in the bf3/bf4 era forever. Best gaming ever
I wish we could get a BF: Vietnam era remake! Nothing was more enjoyable than flying nape of the earth sorties in Conquest mode with your pals or even random players in a Huey blasting 'Flight of the Valkryies'
I played this game since launch. I had fun but it lacked the battlefield feeling. Just watching the clips from BF4 in your video with epic building collapsing and explosions, it shows how far they stepped away from their identity. They relied to much on the tornados as the epic experience but it seemed more like a gemic that got old really fast. I just want a BF in modern times with modern maps. As opposed to have the city in the back ground, make them the maps with destruction. Stick to their way and not follow the battle royale structure.
Even like BF 2042 is now BF2042 is not a good battlefield compard to BF2, 3 or 4. V was abandoned when it got really good. 2042 is a husk from what the old Battlefield games were like. 2042 feels like plastic." "Characters" shoved down the throat of the players. You can feel how the money men made the calls on this game. I dont have high hopes for future Battlefield titles. I fear its really dead. At least how we knew it
I preordered the gold edition on battlefield 2042. I thought it would be the next great thing since BF4. Even when I got to play the beta and the early access from getting my gold edition preorder I was like what the hell is this? I feel 2042 lost the magic of what battlefield was. The mix of vehicles to infantry is totally off, basically forcing almost everyone into infantry because they weren't fast enough to get into a vehicle. Whatever the next battlefield is, I hope it captures the classic magic of the working as a large team and getting into a large group of your buddies to play on the same team. Basically limiting the game to 4 of your friends to play on the same team or same game is heart crushing.
The craziest thing is how much work had to be done, to literally put in features that were standard to the previous successful titles. Scoreboard, changing squads, proper class structures. I love the game still, been playing it consistently. But each update is a slog of teething in terms of crashes & bugs. I honestly thought about bf4 had teething, but it was still so much better overall.
Thought I'd never play this game. After V's launch, then 2042, no way. I gave it a solid year. Still lots of bugs, but it's pretty fun. Redacted changed everything. Now I love it, especially with friends/medics that actually revive you.
One is sure I have is the gameplay like running around or dealing with recoil feels too unnatural and stiff, spam look left and right on 2042 and BFV and see how much the gun sways around your screen, it just felt like battlefield when you looked like you had trouble carrying your heavy weapon with all the action going on around you which was very immersive and was very convincing, no soldier would have their gun exactly in the same position everytime no matter what. But so much of this game on a technical level is beyond impressive
Fantastic video 've been a MASSIVE Battlefield fan dating back to BF 1942, Vietnam, BC, and BF3. Just so many incredible memories stored in my mind from flying sorties in public servers as a helo pilot. All excellent BF experiences. Now, here we are 2 years later with BF 2042. Well, we all know that launch was a travesty -- and the fact that they made it feel less like a BF game then every before just added salt to the wound. Happy to say though, after 'patient gaming' the last two years...picked it up for $11 and my my....it's actually a great experience! They added joystick capabilities, so I'm back to dusting off my helo skills in Conquest 64/128, and ignoring the 'operators', it's a genuinely SOLID BF experience with those map updates and other.
It is okay that a game is bad sometimes. BF 2042 is not a good game. It is a popular game marred by bad development and an irredeemable disconnect between audience and company. I think too many people are falling victim to a sunken cost fallacy, where they need to justify that they bought a $70 bargain bin game.
I played this game since early release and have gone back to it each season to play the new content. Every update has improved the game and got to where it should be. Seems like every BF title does this and they just play catch-up. Hopefully in the next title we see more destructive environments to set it apart as the best FPS
I'm part of the second group of players. Picked up BF2042 last month during the sale for 13 bucks on Steam. I had a few fun BF moments. Overall though, it doesn't feel like a BF game. Maybe I'll get the next BF game 2 years after it releases lol.
Besides the lack of content, I just wish that this game would had something big like the levolutions from the bf4, the behemoth from bf1 or those V1 rockets from bfV. Something to make a big impact on the game
They tried with the tornado, but honestly throwing a tornado in every map just made it feel cheap. Like, maybe a different weather (or similar) event every map? Even if they had real consequences, as portrayed in their vids pre launch, I think it would have been more interesting.
We keep complaining and wondering why studios think they can get away with launching games in a broken state only to fix it later. the answer is because we let them. no matter how much effort they put into making the game playable, the fact still remains that this will never stop happening if we continue to forgive and forget the second they add some shiny new content. they lied! and its not the first time they've lied! they may be gearing up and pulling all resources for the next game, but that does not inspire confidence when there is just as much money behind games like starfield or modern warfare 3. they will continue to lie as long as it drives sales! we wonder why the industry is broken. but its our fault! its on us when this happens because we cannot bring ourselves to vote with our wallets. you wanna know how to fix this? stop pre ordering games! that is a great place to start
Is not perfect, but I sincerely have had quite some fun since its release. For me, it has been the chance I needed to get out of the extremely competitive craziness that has been around Call of Duty and other popular games in recent years. I just hope they give us some kind of urban/water map and other cool vehicles before they stop adding new content.
I spent 99.99 on this game at launch and I can’t forgive DICE for making me feel like an idiot. I retried the game in recent times, and just can’t shake the feeling that I was lied to and robbed of my money. The next game needs to be closer to BC2, BF3, BF4 or even BF1 for me to even consider buying it
Huge, missed opportunity with portal. I like many were expecting a few new portal maps each season. The portal maps are some of the best in 2042. Sadly, I can't go back and play BFV it's overrun with cheaters in my region. If we had the maps in portal, it would have been awesome. I could have cared less about the rest of the problems.
I really wish they could go back to making themed DLCs like in BF3, like close quarters DLC, vehicle focused, and even something like "post apocalyptic" with the Aftermatch DLC. Those were always pretty hyped every season and made the game super refreshing every time.
Tbh, one of the main reasons I'm sticking with 2042 is because I feel like I don't encounter many cheaters. That and I didn't buy it at launch and got it for like $15. BFV had too many cheaters for me. I had a plane that was flying around one shotting me through non destructible buildings and even the ground at some points. I never played BF1 as it didn't really interest me. BF3 and BF4 were great, but they feel dated to me now.
Despite the new things added overall I have to call the game a failure. I was a person sold on that original vision. I did end up getting the game for free but before I got it for free I was going to pre-order it I was sold on the game. I was so sad that I was extraordinarily disappointed when it came out. And to the place I still have it installed but I only play it occasionally. And a game like this is really only truly fun when you have friends that will play with you, and none of my friends will play with me at all on battlefield 2042. The fact that I had people who also wanted to like it but were let down and now do not want to play it says something.

I really hope operators don’t become standard in battlefield i simply want UNIQUE factions with there own generic soldiers modeled differently. I never loved the way operators looked and seeing 30 of the same face on either side really took me out of it. Along with bringing back naval combat battlefield to me was the whole trio at play Land,Air, and sea
💯 biggest mistake BF ever made is becoming a live service.
I like the operators it was a unique choice they done but I wish in next BF is to customize our own soldier to make it a funny looking or badass one that what I want to see.
@@Darknova591no operators. All we really need is a BF4 2.0
for me the uniqueness came from classes, being a part of a squad that needed more components than one person could bring to the fight, working as a team, instead bf2042 was just everyone could be everything, so "inclusive" of them
@@Darknova591 Unique by becoming generic??? we got too many hero/operator shooters already
2 years later and we are still talking about lack of content, this speaks volume about the state of the game
We are?
Lack of content?
Not mention the game is still lacking basic features like a server browser and rent a server. The fact that most game modes are temporary week long "events" still sucks.
@@m27zero44 yep, 6 new maps in 2 years. I don't think I need to say more and before you mention the re-works (that's on them for making the maps so shit in the first place)
I think it speaks volume on the state of the industry as a whole.
I'm not prepared to say DICE is redeemed at all. I can recognize the effort that has been ongoing to make the game better, but I will not forget about the differences in the core ideas that this team brought to 2042 in comparison to the rest of the franchise. They showed they lack an understanding of Battlefield fans. They can only redeem themselves with the next title, not 2042.
Exactly. Let's also not forget that DICE has absolutely bombed on their last 3 consecutive launches: 2042, BFV, and Battlefront 2. If they were "redeemed", they wouldn't keep making avoidable mistakes, especially with the community screaming warnings at them.
If we can get a battlefield game with 1) bf3 setting 2) bf1 atmosphere 3) bf5 movement and gameplay. That would be the perfect battlefield game for me
exactly, i always talk about that!! BF3/BF4 setting, BF1 athmosphere with all that was PERFECT10/10 in BFV: the gunplay, squad mechanics, movement, rock/paper/scissors class system, vehicle mechanics, ballistics, destruction, sounds, and Halvoy, please bring back Halvoy
I'm pretty sure that's how they marketed 2042 at first lmao
@@carrast if we get the ALL the animations that bf5 brought (revives, knife kills, prone, nearby explosions, even the building mechanic) and the gun play. The dark tone, war torn environment from Bf1 and finally the bf3/bf4 setting with its levelution/destruction, ALL the modern weapons we can dream of, classic 4 classes setup, vehicles, and the gunship. I would be so happy that I wouldn’t care if they make the game a live service game and that they keep updating it over and over giving us new content (weapons, maps, skins, gun camos)
This guy gets it
I get your point but a BF3 setting with world war 1 atmosphere isnt really possible. People need realistic expectations. BF1 was a work of art, especially at the time it released, but it also helped the immersion alot that the setting was ww1.
On this date, i cannot believe, how they messed up Portal. Man, this had so much potential, especially for the long time fans of the franchise.
I thought it would be something like Halo forge. How disappointed I was.
For real, i wished they added more maps
Portal would of killed 2042 and I think Dice wasn't willing to add more maps such a shame..Dice sold me Portal a big let down with soo many maps to choose from..
They messed up literally everything about the game man, the guns (there's like 5 news ones), the vehicles (floaty and boring), maps (worst maps since bf1942 and even that game had better destruction), Operators (Fucking generic what's this apex?) I wasn't at all surprised portal was a garbage last ditch effort, just throwing slop at us long time fans.
“REPAIRED” not “redeemed”
Release a complete game, that’s “redemption”
Are we going to ignore the fact the levelcap jackfrags and many more all KNEW the game was not finished but still told us to buy and only told us the DAY after release leading to the most refund game in history? And all this made your favorite little youtubers super rich but this always gets over looked by the thousands of ten year old followers that could watch people count to a billion
I said this 2 years ago after the beta. Levelcap said that according to the dev, the garbage beta was an "old build". The game was definitely gonna launch complete and would be revolutionary.
I was extremely skeptical ever since and didn't buy it. I eventually picked it up for $10. Glad I did. Feel sorry for whoever spent full price and had to wait for 2 yrs to get their money's worth
@D3M0N01Dx533D YES SAME WITH JACK I remember few weeks before launch everyone freaked out about the leaked beta and everyone saw it was NOT ready and jack said it was an OLD build MONTHS old and when the game released it will be finished to trust them and boom day after release truth comes out and they change there mind it was ruthless and thats coming from a die hard jackfrags fan for YEARS he didnt even address and other smaller youtubers said the truth and got there dice pass rejected the proof is all there
DICE: "I hope we redeemed ourselves."
Bro thinks he's Arthur Morgan 😭💀
@@AllHailNannerpussthe Beta versions of 2042 still a bit better than the final game.
I want the next Battlefield game to be more BF3/BF4. 2042 is still not the Battlefield game I want with many missing features, game modes and content. I have no faith that the next Battlefield game will be a Battlefield game I want to play.
just play BF4
That's what we all wanted.
You would have to bring back to og devs for that. WW2 (BF5) had so much potential, and we could already smell they are going downhill there, with the idiotic ideas.
What exactly does that mean to you to be more like bf4 tho
@@BBanzajit felt more serious and intense, there wasn’t any COD speed knifing or cheesy skins. It was a straight up war. The last few games feel really out of touch with what made battlefield great in my opinion.
I don’t think so, it was fundamentally flawed. You need to build a good foundation first and then build on top of that.
This sums up the whole game for me, especially when you compare it to BFV. BFV also had a train wrecked launch, but I’d prefer that over 2042. The first thing in the video says it perfectly: The atmosphere just isn’t there, it’s too plastic.
I've tried to get into it multiple times. I have 'free' access to it via EA Play Pro or whatever, and I still can't be bothered to play it. Think I've installed/uninstalled 3-4x at this point.
@@greenghost906 Indeed, BFV was flawed but at least it had good foundation which gave the devs a chance of turning it into an enjoyable game. 2042 took so many steps back that nothing short of complete redesign of its core would save it, in which case you might aswell just make a new game from scratch and get rid of the taint associated with the name.
@@I_enjoy_some_thingsEA PLAY PRO?
I think they’ve fixed the game as much as they can but there are core things that can’t really be fixed because they were baked into the core design (slippery COD-like movement, downgraded destruction, specialists and the “clone wars” issue they cause in massive player battles, etc)
Mask's for the clones is what we need

@@BoxPounder 💯
@@BoxPounderthis game makes a lot of things better than the last 5 CoDs
You have no idea what a "true battlefield" game is.
I've played them all and it plays the same as every other battlefield.
There is no true battlefield game. There is the most realistic of its era, but in the present era, it isn’t living up to what had made battlefield to be so popular in the first place. Too much copied and heavily influenced by assets that feel like Call of Duty, when Battlefield shouldn’t feel exactly like CoD, it should be its competitor, not beholden to it.
I just still cant get over the hero shooter aspect of the game. As much as dice tried ill never be okay with the fact that there still hero shooter DNA in the game that absolutely doesnt belong im battlefield.
Agreed. I was out the instant it was clear that the standard class system was gone.
Get used to it bro it's going to be in BF6.
The comments here, the content creators covering the game, the community. Everything said about it just sounds like a broken record that's been stuck in a loop for 2 years. I'm so over 2042 and any news regarding it at this point. Here's to hoping the next installment will be better for all of our sakes (but don't pre-order!). Stay strong level ❤
I learned my lesson about pre ordering.😢
@@EVLfreak666 i learned my lesson back in 2014 with destiny and have never pre-ordered since
If it at least had map rotation, then you could experience the available maps one after the other. But since you have to queue again after every match you see some maps over and over and others rarely.
It's almost like there's something to combat this. A SERVER BROWSER. Doesn't fix the lack of maps but at least I can play the maps I like, like every other battlefield game.
Yeah, that's a huge issue for me. Not to mention the fact that you'll sometimes end a game and then the matchmaking will drop you into a game that's half-way over. Often on the same map you just left...
I recently clocked over 50 hours of playtime and im yet to fucking play a single second on Kaleidoscope, Spearhead is fun but my god, it gets boring after 20 times in a row, same goes for redacted and manifest.
@@phizaal It still blows my mind that there is no server browser in this game but you have to queue up after every match..
@@pw9600 Yeah man, so much wasted time tbh.
As someone that grew up with BF1942, BF2, BFBC2, BF3 and then playing Battlefield 4 professionally for 2 years. There's just nothing appealing for me in BF2042. I think not having any of the old maps is a big point. I loved seeing new variations in better graphics and figuring out new ways to play the maps I played day in and day out as a kid. It just doesn't feel like battlefield to me for some reason, something is missing, but I just can't put my finger on it
I never warmed up to this game. I deleted it 2 years ago and never reinstalled it. It's just not a battlefield game to me. I don't like the way it looks. I don't like the way it sounds. All the guns sound the same to me. Maybe they'll get the next one right and recapture that true Battlefield essence.
Yeah, and i will just never tolerate a specialist system in a battlefield game. Idc that they've been segregated into a more classic class system, i dont want to see any of these overly flamboyant characters at all, it ruins the entire environment seeing all these clones running around on both sides
A pathetic amount of destruction too
Next game needs to go back to its roots
Literally just make bf4.2
Next game NEEDS to be
bad co 3
I was totally on the same page as you....but it is now much better I play it now every day since 6 months ago.
They made it more like bf 😊
Completely agree. All guns sound the same, movement is too fast paced, headshot multipliers are ridiculous, tickrate is awful, gunplay is bad and no recoil patterns to master. Maps are mid at best. Too much verticality and rat spots. Everything looks too plastic and prestiene. Not to mention Specialists who have their own unique abilities. If you can see someone, you can pretty much kill them from any range with any weapon. The whole game is a shit show.
I was half listening while eating and i heard lvlcap say "not even close, the game is a dumpster fire" i was like wow he's really letting them have it.
Only thing he was reading through comments xD
@@-Sosaunfortunately
yeah, @@mysterymachine4220, he is a bit weak sauce w criticizing justifiable problems
For me, it's the operators. I hate the specialist stuff. I play BF3 in the portal because I like the fact that everyone looks like soldiers/marines etc... I don't need named characters with special abilities. BF4 was the gold standard when it came to player characters. I don't want to be Irish (cool character but not who I want to be) or any of the others. I want to he nameless pfc shmuckatelly with basic realistic kit.
I really miss how all the vehicles were physically on the map in BF3. I'm sure there's a reason they ditched that. But I really enjoyed taking off from a runway.
the old way is better for balance too, with them restricting certain vehicles for maps they wouldnt work well on
Unplayable on Xbox Series X and I know for a fact that I'm not the only one having this issue.
It's not a ventilation issue, it's not a cache storage issue, its not a defective console, it's a BF2042 issue.
Not a single one of the other games in my library has this problem EXCEPT another one that is "coincidentally" also made by Dice/EA: Star Wars Battlefront II. Happens much less on that, so I bear with it. I can usually get through 5-6 matches of Heroes vs Villains, or go through a whole week of playing without the game crashing. So I'm not too bothered.
But the fact that BF2042 cannot go more than 1 full match of conquest before causing my Xbox to straight up just crash and shut down, is pathetic. Everyday that I have played the game, it has happened, without exception. I am a huge fan of the franchise, and I can acknowledge the many improvements that they made to the game, many of which you mentioned Levelcap, such as the hybrid adaptation of the class system, however the game is quite frankly, unplayable for me after 2 years, and at some point I grow tired of giving them any credit at all for it. It absolutely sucks, considering I've been a huge Battelefield guy since BF3.
Aim assist still broken too.
I miss BF3 and hope they will go back to a more simplified, atmospheric and classic approach.
Amen.
The fact that it launched without a scoreboard is so....pathetic still. 5 months is what it took them for *just* that. A basic function like an FOV option. IMO. I think 2042 now is fun. I play it daily. LVL 187 atm. Over 1k hours. Part of the reason of course, there's nothing else close to it. I got used to the specialists and after playing a few rounds BF 4, I felt I missed them. Change is always hard. But there is no denying that it launched completely 1-2 years too early. And that still bites. Also 6 maps is...ridiculous. 2042 design doc's hinted at a much better, darker game. With new level of destruction etc. We didn't get any of that. I mean most maps still have sunshine and all. It feels more like arenas than war. BF 1 really felt so visceral and brutal. I miss that. The next BF will make or break the series.
It's already broken. The only reason it has any sales is because no one has succeeded in making a solid battlefield clone.
"next one will make or break the series" that's what people said after BF V. That one was supposed to be the black sheep of the family, and 2042 was supposed to be the redemption. Only it was way worse and actually makes V look not half bad by comparison.
@@creativityfails1 Do those people not realize BF 3, 4, 1, and V are still out there, dirt cheap on sales for all DLC, and still well populated?
People can say what they want about battlefield 2042 I’ve enjoyed the rollercoaster of the last 2 years but at the end of the day I’m just so so greatful it don’t have skill based matchmaking
People loving this game is a massive L for battlefield fans, this gives devs and executives the green light to experiment and steer clear from the BATTLEFIELD FORMULA which we all love. It’s like an invasion on our beloved franchise.
RIP BATTLEFIELD! 💔
rip battlefield 💔
The game should have had campaign. After playing the campaign, many would be easily satisfied with the multiplayer.
Ive tried probably 8 times to play the game and give it a fair chance but a more competitive FPS that doesnt even launch with a scoreboard always sticks with me. There was so much hope and its hard for look past it all.
Still TICKED that i spent 100 bucks at launch for a game I really, truly, believed in. I wont go back… I just can’t…
I feel you brother
It's a fun game but with the level of content set in modern settings like bf3&4, it's hard to say it's good when put next to those games. I don't get how they can't just see that that formula works and they just work on perfecting that
it transitioned from Worst to mediocre. But it will never come near to BF3,4 or 1level
I've been playing since launch. The game is definitely vastly improved from launch and I consider it now to be a good game. That said, I definitely feel the lack of actual new content vs the older game. We are still missing platoons and community management tools (group persistent server management) which are quite important in my opinion to be able to keep portal servers alive and properly policed for cheaters.
I'm not going to celebrate improvement upon utter dog shit. I think my entire platoon, including me did what we never imagined we'd do... Turned 2042 off and prayed Call of Duty would be good. Was always a Battlefield fanboy but when Battlefield became CoD, CoD does it better.
@BiG__Disgruntled Sorry to say, but COD is also utter dogshit right now as well. Cannot win either way but still prefer Battlefield style to COD. Vehicles in COD suck.
Started playing bf2042 this month , felt pretty good , but you nailed only thing that's a mines is the maps , but when playing in portal some bf3 maps is awesome they really could remaster old maps would be a huge win
From a gameplay perspective the game has significantly improved, that much is true. What still prevents me from recommending the game to anyone is the amount of technical bugs that have plagued the game since launch. We have not had a season without some sort of bug that severely affects gameplay (black screen post end of game on S6 being the latest example). If the game was in a better more solid technical foundation I would likely recommend it to all.
Also I hope the next BF game finally (FINALLY) jumps to the future and re-engages with the idea that was presented in BF2142. This time in fact with Zampella on board and with the learnings from Titanfall series, I can see a magnificent Battlefield /Titanfall hybrid be released into the public to be the end-all of futuristic military FPS.
This WAS supposed to be that definitive future battlefield, I don't see them trying that setting again for a while unfortunately because they completely tarnished the idea of a "modern futuristic Battlefield game". And even if every single bug was fixed, I couldn't recommend the game to anyone unless they're into the most generic Fps Games because this game now literally has a third of the content bf4, bf1, and even bf5 had at launch (not counting their expansive dlc) And gameplay/destruction features absent that have dated back to bf1942. And don't say portal makes up for it because its reused assets thrown into the shit 2042 engine, slop.
In 2 years, a game called Battlebit give us the true "Battlefield"... BF2042 is Repaired, not redeemed. Like some said here in the comments.
I want a BF1 remaster with new maps, that game slapped so hard.
There is no reason to remaster such a ”new” game
@@Alex-ff1mknot only that. But probably still has the best visuals out of any bf
Didn't buy the game 2 years ago, not gonna buy it now.
When is the next game coming out? Complete and full of content that is.
I personally hate this game. I bought it in launch day, deleted it, reinstalled it (played some seasons) and then deleted it again and i don't think i am coming back to it. The weapons are all the same, i don't like the vehicles and i am not even going to talk about the cosmetics and the lack of maps. For me battlefield 4 will always be the best battlefield.
A poison pen letter to the fans.
How did Levelcap do this video without mentioning the AI bot filled lobbies. That pretty much ruined the game for me. I would prefer to wait the extra couple minutes to get a lobby any day.
The atmosphere and “grit” is just not there. Tarkov is still my #1 game despite all of its flaws.
I actually really like this game just wish we had more maps
Yep, Lack of maps is super killer right now. Remember all the amazing BF 4 expansions? China Rising, The Naval Maps, some sweet shit! Now we barely get any maps lol
How many maps are there?
7 maps at launch with 6 portal maps and 6 new from seasons. Technically 19 but really 13.
BFV had 19. Battlefield 3, 4 and 1 had around 30. 30 vs. 13. Remember those numbers when next game preorder comes around.
#neverpreorder
Definitely, the lack of maps and naval combat missing is sad
(Long Winded Rant)
I have been an avid BF player since Battlefield 2: Modern Combat and have played every game since that. BF3 being my personal favorite and is when/how I discovered your RUclips channel when you were using Symthic to make weapon reviews.
It is my personal opinion Dice has never had a successful launch, EVER, there has always been bugs and balancing issues though by the first year most are usually fixed. That being said that was half the fun watching the game grow and be fixed, remembering how things use to be by year 3 of the title.
Having returned to 2042 recently these are my current opinions on the state of the game and would like to think most BF Veterans would agree;
They tried to compete with Call Of Duty and failed miserably alienating most of their player base in the process, I can not fault them for this because money is money and suggestions were forced onto the teams due to greed from stock holders & corporate suites that probably had never played.
- Skill based gameplay has been stripped from the game with most weapons having minimal recoil and an abundance of launchers that lock onto vehicles, ETC.
- Team based gameplay has been stripped with the removal of classes. In example I can be Medic with ammo boxes and the ability to destroy vehicles needing no one on my team.
- TTK to me feels so fast so in the high player count servers with the abundance of people camping trying to PTO becomes just a horde movement game style
- Rush seems to have been forgotten about it is the only game mode in portal that you can not use the rules editor on and IMO was the most competitive game mode (I would love to be able to edit the arming time, defuse time and overall amount of time till detonation, yet Its impossible...RIP Squad Rush)
- Bots/Unlocks it seems 50% of the current community would rather feel like badass' killing bots getting unlocks then actually playing and possibly losing thus dividing the player base into to many servers. (I fail to understand the love of servers with boosted bullet velocity aswell if you want to play COD go play COD)
These are my biggest complaints, I could go on, but its nothing that hasn't been said before so I'll list a few things I do enjoy;
- Portal is honestly pretty impressive even with some of its short comings
- Large selection of weapons, gadgets and equipment is really nice and adds alot of verity in addition to the "personalities" of the charactors I just wish it was more class based and more restricted
- Ability to edit your weapon on the fly mid game is...neat... but is a love hate situation with me and I feel would be better suited with a cooldown or crate you call in
- The Call In system is also nice, but often forgotten about or over used IMO and I feel could have been implemented better.
Most of what I listed will be unable to be fixed in 2042 due to the code and how the game operates, I just hope the next title is a true return to form for dice, so long as you stay true to your fans (remembering that the most vocal players are usually the worst and just here for a short time not a good time) and love what you do you will succeed even if it doesn't create a Hype train at launch it will continue to be played for years to come. If you took the time to read all of this and agree thank you, it means I didnt waste my time writing it. See you on the BattleField friends!
just picked up the game this week and i’m loving it. last bf game i got heavily into was bf4. im loving 2042
just wait until the skill based matchmaking kicks in
2 years later and it still doesn't feel like a BF game.
People forget over the two year "anniversary" that there is a ten year anniversary of a much better game which still holds up nowadays. 😉
#neverforget #BF4
i believe dice have not learned their lesson because they believe that battlefield 5 was a poor marketing game and not a bad game
As a person who got the game on release and even played a considerable amount of the game (even through the multiple bugs) I can say that the game is finally how it should've been on release 🤣
Don't get me wrong... the amount of work they put into the game is undeniable. And i've always kept in the back of my mind that most of the veteran devs left the studio during the making of 2042. That's a large set back for DICE as they had to onboard a bunch of new faces to get them up to speed with the Frostbite Engine. I can hop on the game and have a good time playing it but not for long periods of time. But that's probably due to the fact that i'm likely the only person in my friend group to still play the game. Most of my friends were turned off from the start.
First impressions are everything to most people. You can still find someone talking crap about No Man's Sky but they know nothing about the game's updates LMAO!
While I'm happy to see DICE fix this game, but I'm probably not gonna buy another game from them again unless it's so good that both the community and professional critics alike say, “Yeah, this game is good.” This is the 3rd time DICE has launched a broken game and turned around to fix it. The launches of BF4, Battlefront, and now 2042. I'm honestly sick of this strange cursed cycle that DICE likes doing.
Need the comedy of bad company / most fun I ever had also had the best designed rush maps. Need the grit and combat of BF3/4 Had great weapon attachments. Atmosphere of BF1 and BF5 along with the destruction. I think if they combined those three ideas we would get a great game
Rush mode in BC2 was the best. I have no idea why they dont push that as the main game mode instead of the clusterfuck conquest mode.
The game blatantly feels like a mobile game compared to past titles. It's clearly a drop in quality, with content, graphics and gameplay...
I remember Playing BF2 as 12 year old, if i had this back then i would be blown away still looks amazing even though i has errors.. What a treasure for kids today to have this quality!!
I just can't get into bf2042, to me this just isn't battlefield
I have actually gone back to play battlefield V and to my surprise there are plenty of full lobbies. Battlefield v just feels more realistic and more natural.
Remember boys, was a FPS multiplayer without a scoreboard.
Yes, this is my opinion on 2042. At first I hated BF1 but it has been the only true Battlefield experience since BF4, this includes everything up to BF2042. Even Hardline was better in my opinion.
Needed more maps and more interesting game modes. This game could have really benefited from a "Titan" mode similar to 2142 or added game modes like BF1 with the armored train or blimp. Also, being able to choose what maps you get to play instead of being forced to deal with RNG or having to play a limited time playlist.
I'm mostly fine with the specialists and weapons as they are now but there just isn't enough variety map and game mode wise unless we look to Portal and those servers for me have been mostly XP farms or mostly empty.
I stuck with it relatively regularly for the past two years and like you mentioned there’s been so many improvements some have launch. But unfortunately between the “behind the curve” approach to quality of life features and the lack of real identity that games like bfv and bf4 had I’m struggling to find a reason to keep coming back to battlefield and I definitely don’t feel like I got my money’s worth 2 years later
Not to mention no campaign or haptic feedback
I happened to be one of the people who preordered the game and have stuck with it all the way through, and maybe you could say i was just trying to get my moneys worth but this game no doubt had a very disappointing launch. Now what they have managed pull through has for sure impressed me. Yes the one thing that always bugged me was just the variety of content at launch but i was very intrigued by the narrative of the game. It was a different and almost realistic take on wars in the not too distant future. Fighting for resources instead of political agendas. I was a huge fan of BF3 & 4 and was just tired of the WW2 game genre and wanted battlefield to continue doing a modern setting in a game. I was open to the idea of specialist and I think today they are way more balanced and useful than they were at launch. I do wish there were more maps that was a let down but they way have reacted the last year has been very good and I'm enjoying the game a lot today with the variety of skins, equipment, weapons, and vehicles. I hope the next battlefield just really brings everyone together and get back to why we play these games
No more mistakes,no clones just a full on BF game, and loads of destruction ...
Great Video. You say it how it is. I am a day one player. Its been a rollercoaster. I genuinely love 2042…. For what it is. I honestly think it’s a better game then people say it is. Even in map design. I have tons of fun. I love the action and the chaos. However first impressions are so important and they need to come out strong next time. Even though i like 2042 I’ve been disappointed each time i was hyped for something. The events, the hourglass rework, hoping for more than one map per season. I don’t hate the specialiste within a class system but a campaign would have gone a long way. At least some cinematics. We get amazing trailers and it falls flat. I think There is ton of fun to be had. It feels like battlefield to me but I know it can be so much more. Its the best franchise. They need to show the world next time. Ot is not COD, Apex or fortnite. Its battlefield. I hope they stay true to that. They can make a shit load of money but staying BF. And selling BF ish skins and what not. It will be a win win. It would so nice to finish this off with a heavy drop of content. Maps. Just maps. 2 final seasons of 3 maps each to close it off and move on. I would be ok with that. BTW I really enjoy 128 players much more than 64. On 2042 maps. But a well crafted 64 player map with atmosphere and destruction is what the fans want. They should go back to basics and play it safe next time. And a proper launch.
While I do like the “abilities” that each operator brings, I wish that the abilities were more akin to gadgets that a soldier can bring instead of shoehorning them to a specific operator. Also, bring back soldier models. The only customization I want is changing the camo pattern. Love the firestorm camo pack from bf4
I pre ordered it and oh god it was unplayable but now I've come to appreciate the game now and I love it
I really loved Battlefield 1. Enjoyed it at launch, then they added a bunch of maps, weapons, and the frontlines game mode. Progression all seemed pretty reasonable with the exception of a couple of unlocks that are incredibly tough. It was both polished and feature-complete. Visibility was reasonable and I enjoyed the vehicle/infantry balance too.
Battlefield 5 had that stupid attrition mechanic which isn't fun and I could never see anyone, and 2042 had the whole specialists and terrible maps at launch. It seems to me that the size of the development team keeps ballooning and that probably makes it very difficult for them to iterate on map design or game balance. Hopefully that curse doesn't strike again and they can repeat the success of BF 3, 4, and 1 which are all excellent.
And it still sucks
2 years later and im still rotating between the same 3 foregrips on every gun. We need more gun customization
EA is Trash, Elon Musk please buy the battlefield series and save the game.
Battlefield X
@@danielskoffa exactly Could be NiXe
I believe others share my mindset and will prioritize preserving their sanity by refraining from preordering the next Battlefield.
All we wanted was a bf4 Remake
BF4 is perfect. Everything they make now is garbage.
and improve what? The graphics are already insane in any Frostbite-era game. Remaster would just be bloated file size for half the experience when inevitably gun balance is totally wrong. They can't even match half of what BF 4 was anymore. BF 4 was arguably the peak of the series.
@@UnchainedEruption was
Without dedicated player run servers it wouldn't be battlefield 4
Nothing about this game has kept me engaged. I hate the operators and their gimmick abilities, the graphics kinda suck for a game this generation, the weapons and vehicles are just “blah”, season passes in general need to be dumpstered, and the only potential saving grace was Portal and they never truly capitalized on it
The game in my eyes is still caca, i hop on for a match or 2 and feel like no its not there bf4 ...... come on .. 2042 is a joke. they need to move on. and stop tarnishing this IP. i know we will never get another bf 4 or bad company 2, since all the original folk that worked on those games and had the exp. on that engine since they built it. it's sad, and this game makes it worse. flying and all that fells off. i dont have fun its too big. cut maps in half. just feels like another game, and y can't I talk to people. ?!!! WE NEED PROXY CHAT, ITS A QUIET WARZONE , ITS BS
Dunno if this is a popular opinion, but BF1 was the best Battlefield after BF3/4 (which is more or less the same game).
Honestly I didn’t really enjoy battlefield since 4, 1 was ok but the mechanics were very shallow and V was the same as 1 just WW II instead of WW I which didn’t actually feel that different
I definitely held back buying the game 2 years ago. Got it for like $13.99 last month on Xbox and have been grinding it out. Vault weapons and whatnot have been great, but definitely hit the nail on the head with the lack of maps. Wish we could live in the bf3/bf4 era forever. Best gaming ever
I wish we could get a BF: Vietnam era remake! Nothing was more enjoyable than flying nape of the earth sorties in Conquest mode with your pals or even random players in a Huey blasting 'Flight of the Valkryies'
I played this game since launch. I had fun but it lacked the battlefield feeling. Just watching the clips from BF4 in your video with epic building collapsing and explosions, it shows how far they stepped away from their identity. They relied to much on the tornados as the epic experience but it seemed more like a gemic that got old really fast. I just want a BF in modern times with modern maps. As opposed to have the city in the back ground, make them the maps with destruction. Stick to their way and not follow the battle royale structure.
Even like BF 2042 is now BF2042 is not a good battlefield compard to BF2, 3 or 4. V was abandoned when it got really good. 2042 is a husk from what the old Battlefield games were like. 2042 feels like plastic."
"Characters" shoved down the throat of the players. You can feel how the money men made the calls on this game. I dont have high hopes for future Battlefield titles. I fear its really dead. At least how we knew it
I preordered the gold edition on battlefield 2042. I thought it would be the next great thing since BF4. Even when I got to play the beta and the early access from getting my gold edition preorder I was like what the hell is this? I feel 2042 lost the magic of what battlefield was. The mix of vehicles to infantry is totally off, basically forcing almost everyone into infantry because they weren't fast enough to get into a vehicle. Whatever the next battlefield is, I hope it captures the classic magic of the working as a large team and getting into a large group of your buddies to play on the same team. Basically limiting the game to 4 of your friends to play on the same team or same game is heart crushing.
learning from past mistakes is the biggest must for this franchise. I'm not sure Battlefield will survive another re inventing the wheel adventure.
"A love letter to the fans" they said
it sure was 😂😂😂😂
Not just the content, but the gameplay, and the mechanics too.
Yup. It feels like a 360 game.
The craziest thing is how much work had to be done, to literally put in features that were standard to the previous successful titles. Scoreboard, changing squads, proper class structures. I love the game still, been playing it consistently. But each update is a slog of teething in terms of crashes & bugs.
I honestly thought about bf4 had teething, but it was still so much better overall.
Thought I'd never play this game. After V's launch, then 2042, no way. I gave it a solid year. Still lots of bugs, but it's pretty fun. Redacted changed everything. Now I love it, especially with friends/medics that actually revive you.
One is sure I have is the gameplay like running around or dealing with recoil feels too unnatural and stiff, spam look left and right on 2042 and BFV and see how much the gun sways around your screen, it just felt like battlefield when you looked like you had trouble carrying your heavy weapon with all the action going on around you which was very immersive and was very convincing, no soldier would have their gun exactly in the same position everytime no matter what. But so much of this game on a technical level is beyond impressive
I've never played BF2042 but it seems that a lot of people want what made Battlefield 3 and 4 so special. Those were my jams back in college
It's really not that different to 3 and 4.
Too many sheep just go with the hate mob and won't admit it.
@@workhorse7134
what are you taking about lol, even bf3 and 4 are very different games and bf2042 is a whole other story.
Fantastic video 've been a MASSIVE Battlefield fan dating back to BF 1942, Vietnam, BC, and BF3. Just so many incredible memories stored in my mind from flying sorties in public servers as a helo pilot. All excellent BF experiences.
Now, here we are 2 years later with BF 2042. Well, we all know that launch was a travesty -- and the fact that they made it feel less like a BF game then every before just added salt to the wound. Happy to say though, after 'patient gaming' the last two years...picked it up for $11 and my my....it's actually a great experience! They added joystick capabilities, so I'm back to dusting off my helo skills in Conquest 64/128, and ignoring the 'operators', it's a genuinely SOLID BF experience with those map updates and other.
Dice seems incapable of learning from their mistakes. I don't have much hope for this franchise...just how many bad titles can an IP survive?
It is okay that a game is bad sometimes. BF 2042 is not a good game. It is a popular game marred by bad development and an irredeemable disconnect between audience and company.
I think too many people are falling victim to a sunken cost fallacy, where they need to justify that they bought a $70 bargain bin game.
I played this game since early release and have gone back to it each season to play the new content. Every update has improved the game and got to where it should be. Seems like every BF title does this and they just play catch-up. Hopefully in the next title we see more destructive environments to set it apart as the best FPS
I'm part of the second group of players. Picked up BF2042 last month during the sale for 13 bucks on Steam. I had a few fun BF moments. Overall though, it doesn't feel like a BF game. Maybe I'll get the next BF game 2 years after it releases lol.
Besides the lack of content, I just wish that this game would had something big like the levolutions from the bf4, the behemoth from bf1 or those V1 rockets from bfV. Something to make a big impact on the game
They tried with the tornado, but honestly throwing a tornado in every map just made it feel cheap. Like, maybe a different weather (or similar) event every map? Even if they had real consequences, as portrayed in their vids pre launch, I think it would have been more interesting.
We keep complaining and wondering why studios think they can get away with launching games in a broken state only to fix it later. the answer is because we let them. no matter how much effort they put into making the game playable, the fact still remains that this will never stop happening if we continue to forgive and forget the second they add some shiny new content. they lied! and its not the first time they've lied! they may be gearing up and pulling all resources for the next game, but that does not inspire confidence when there is just as much money behind games like starfield or modern warfare 3. they will continue to lie as long as it drives sales!
we wonder why the industry is broken. but its our fault! its on us when this happens because we cannot bring ourselves to vote with our wallets. you wanna know how to fix this? stop pre ordering games! that is a great place to start
Is not perfect, but I sincerely have had quite some fun since its release. For me, it has been the chance I needed to get out of the extremely competitive craziness that has been around Call of Duty and other popular games in recent years. I just hope they give us some kind of urban/water map and other cool vehicles before they stop adding new content.
I spent 99.99 on this game at launch and I can’t forgive DICE for making me feel like an idiot. I retried the game in recent times, and just can’t shake the feeling that I was lied to and robbed of my money. The next game needs to be closer to BC2, BF3, BF4 or even BF1 for me to even consider buying it
Huge, missed opportunity with portal. I like many were expecting a few new portal maps each season. The portal maps are some of the best in 2042. Sadly, I can't go back and play BFV it's overrun with cheaters in my region. If we had the maps in portal, it would have been awesome. I could have cared less about the rest of the problems.
I really wish they could go back to making themed DLCs like in BF3, like close quarters DLC, vehicle focused, and even something like "post apocalyptic" with the Aftermatch DLC. Those were always pretty hyped every season and made the game super refreshing every time.
They haven0t, the fundamentals of 2042 are too horrendous in quality. However, it went from unplayable scrap to a 3.5/10 game by general standard.
I want another BF3
Game itself is fun currently but lack of maps suck, i wish there was more maps even if its remastered of old ones
Tbh, one of the main reasons I'm sticking with 2042 is because I feel like I don't encounter many cheaters. That and I didn't buy it at launch and got it for like $15. BFV had too many cheaters for me. I had a plane that was flying around one shotting me through non destructible buildings and even the ground at some points. I never played BF1 as it didn't really interest me. BF3 and BF4 were great, but they feel dated to me now.
Been playing since launch, but ive thoroughly enjoyed it when season 1 launched
Despite the new things added overall I have to call the game a failure. I was a person sold on that original vision. I did end up getting the game for free but before I got it for free I was going to pre-order it I was sold on the game. I was so sad that I was extraordinarily disappointed when it came out. And to the place I still have it installed but I only play it occasionally. And a game like this is really only truly fun when you have friends that will play with you, and none of my friends will play with me at all on battlefield 2042. The fact that I had people who also wanted to like it but were let down and now do not want to play it says something.
i only got bf2042 because steam had a sale on it for 95%. but the game is fun, some bugs etc but i feel the game is heading in the right direction.
I'm fine by it since I finally bought it for $10 when it was on sale. And been enjoying it quite a lot. Especially for $10 lmao
