I really delayed making this video in hopes thing would get better, but for every one thing DICE fixes, two more things get broken. Guides return later this week. Have a great day everyone.
great video man did u see tom hendersons video on the dovelopement of 2042 total shit show.have dual pc set up on gaming pc have 5950x and 6900xt and have to keep everything on low and still plays like dogshit
On ps5 there a problem u play a 45 min match and get disconnected at the end alot of times. Or get in a match no gun loadouts and specialist game gives u a random gun and no attachments and cant change anything.
I feel the exact same way you do! payed so much money for this game just to be disappointed! everything you mentioned is 1000% accurate,....even the loading screen is unappealing compared to other versions like bf4/5 even 1! This is robbery to the battlefield community and people are to dumb to realize how crappy this game is compared to other versions!! Like you said if other people are having fun playing it then do so! but ill step back for a bit instead of wasting my time with an unfinished and poorly built game! Cheers!
I love Battlefield. But this... this is no Battlefield title. This is a Battlefield where EA/DICE decided “oh, CoD did something successful? let’s just copy that. why do what OUR players want?” I stopped playing the game, personally.
Same. I went back to bfV unbelievably. And you know what? I’m having a blast; classes, 64 players and 144fps. I took these for granted before….because why wouldn’t you??? Apparently the bar sinks lower with each release
the maps are bland, have no atmosphere. There is supposed to have been a war going on for several years. No buildings are damaged. No burning fires like in BF4 Firestorm or BF5 Map Devastation You would think that everything looks normal and nothing has been happening. Just everything looks normal.
They have removed the rooftop capture points on BT maps that you described Cat Breakthrough Kaleidoscope - Rooftop Capture Objective has been removed. There are now two Capture Objective at the bottom in BT large and one at the bottom in BT small Orbital - Rooftop Capture Objective has been removed. There is now a single Capture Objective at the bottom in BT large and BT small Hourglass - Rooftop Capture Objective has been removed. There is now a single Capture Objective at the bottom in BT large and BT small. Also fixed an issue where players were spawning out of bounds
I think pretty much every problem with this game leads back to the decision to have 128 player. I'm not sure who was wanting this. Everything is impacted by this decision - whether it's a tornado that doesn't actually do any #%#% destruction or the fact that it's simply not fun being shot at from all sides all the time. Even if they add tons of cover - considering they did all of those ttk changes in BFV to bring in xmas noobs - how do you think those xmas noobs are gonna feel with 64 other players blasting away at them from all angles and vehicles. -Scrap 128 players entirely -improve the destruction across the board as this most certainly was taken out due to the 128 player account -improve graphics - all graphics look a step back to me from bf1/bfv. Textures are drab/stale - it almost looks like assets were dumped into a playground without them being blended in or any attention to textures. -Get rid of aimbot dog/sentry gun - annoying to be shot by something that isn't a player - replace with something else or limit their range -need a lot more cover in all maps - huge redesigns including fitting the tone of the lore. The maps look so freakin clean. Like in BF4 you'd have paper and fires strewn about on the streets - here there's nothing -it looks like just another day. -I like the idea of tying specialist to a specific class item based on their general specialty - medic crate, ammo crate etc - as well as one additional item for the other gadgets -get rid of cringe lines from specialist - and cornball crap all together. I prefer they get rid of specialists but it's built into the game - they aren't going anywhere unfortunately -Rush 100% of the time, TDM 100% of the time -Animations suck for soldiers. BFV running / movement animations for soldiers looked great - here's a good idea - lets take a step backwards -scoreboard - duh. It's call how are you doing in a FPS - it's not legacy - it's essential -Server browser - absolutely essential on top of the one in portal sucks. Can't filter by ping, players count -get rid of guns on transport vehicles That said - even after all of these things - things would still feel amiss and the soul feels completely sucked from the game in so many ways. The funny part is they're trying to cater to the braindead BF noobs to bring in the the franchise but ironically they're getting slaughtered in the 128 player games and even if you liked "chaos" - even a noob would get tired of that after a while. I was never very good at BF1 (better at BFV with my movement playing style)...I'd get slaughtered all of the time - I'd enjoy it though cause of the graphics were awesome, the sound great, the maps were great and super immersive and polished and even if I was getting sniped/hammered - I felt like I knew "where" my impending doom would come from - vs 360 degree slaughterfest in 2042. Thus xmas noobs would be hammered in BF1 but STILL have fun as there weren't 128 people constantly hammering you from all sides
64 people on each side. I feel you, but folks try to play this like cod. In your defense it’s hard not to since there is no voice chat, but then again it’s not rocket science on what the objectives are. Rush mode should of definitely been there. TDM is so generic and I’d like to see a more team focused twist on that oh they already have that in breakthrough. All they really need are tweaks to the shooting, spawning and limit vehicle spawning. I don’t really care about aim assist if it’s the same across the board. Oh and we should be able to use every gun in the main game.
BF3 had a rough launch , BF4 had a rough launch , but 2042 just feels soul less to me. Even when I was rubber banding on silk road on a motorcycle running c-4 I was having a blast. In 2042 it just feels stale and lifeless it's missing something.
Thanks for your honest opinion, Cat. I think it's all very valid feedback. As someone who loves teamplay, this game is frustrating. I love to PTO, yet in this game when I PTO like I should I feel I have very little impact on the game. Any objectives we take are easily lost to a swarm of vehicles and the general chaos of 128 players. There are fun moments, but I feel like the heart of the game is gone if I can't PTO and win with my team. I'm still playing 2042 rn, but you know it's bad when I'm missing BFV :(
I am mostly a battlefield4 player. Man... the movement on this Battlefield is 100% Call of Duty. It's just horrible. People sliding, grappling and shooting like super heroes. I'll never touch this game again.
I just know one thing, as an avid bf player since bf2 i've never been bored so damn quickly with any of them as i am with this garbage... for me personally, this is not a battlefield game.
I love battlefield, been playing since bc2 also this game just hits different I went back and forth between this and bf1, bf5, bf4, bf3, BF1 had a good launch compared to this, if this game was like bf4 with updated graphics and a couple new things id be more then happy but no they added a couple things and removed most of what battlefield was from day one like 4 classes, like really now there stupid flank bats flying around the maps and shit its just a death spawn run repeat game, END OF....
This is the first Battlefield game I will not be buying. I've been playing since BF2 on PC, it's sad, because this game had so much potential after losing a lot of people over the misery that was BFV. BUT, BFV is still enjoyable compared to this, and that hurts me to say it because of how much I didn't like BFV. They missed such a huge opportunity to smash this game out of the park. Like you, I can't stand how people defend a buggy and unplayable launch... why are we accepting this?
I'm liking and subscribing because that was some real truthful shit you just said, you covered almost everything I feel about this game and I love it. But I wanted to add on something if you wouldn't mind, which is about the features. I'd say that they need to take out the features that clearly come from other games such as warzone and apex, it doesn't belong in a battlefield game. Get rid of the T attachments Get rid of the wingsuit Get rid of "traverse running" where you hold your gun up towards the air Get rid of all specialists except for Irish Get rid of the cringy end of round voice lines Get rid of the grappling hook and replace it with a zipline launcher And so much more that I shouldn't have to mention.
And the fact that there are rumors that the next battlefield game is a hero shooter... feels good knowing all the franchises I love are turning to shit.
I fully agree with everything said, except for the following line, “I don’t understand why transport vehicles needed anti-infantry weapons” Armored Personnel Carriers, which are your standard transport, typically have anti-infantry weapons for defensive purposes, and they typically utilize remote control defense systems irl. Infantry Fighting Vehicles on the other hand require a crew, and have anti-infantry weapons that can be utilized in offensive and combat support roles, while also carrying troops. Recon and Utility vehicles are just for harassment, that’s what is really annoying.
I love this video Cat, this is exactly how I feel as a hardcore bf fan, especially the vehicle part, and you are practically the only bf content creator that is honest with his reviews. Thanks for telling the truth about this game.
Besides the fact, that he’s absolutely right - many creators on RUclips said the exact same thing. There’s really not a lot of them left still pretending this game would be a real Battlefield. It’s really sad and a lot of fans, me included, are extremely disappointed 😔
It wasn't way ahead of schedule Cat, this is all a big lie the three development studios I believe were actually four, were brought on to help with the delay and because they were so far behind in the development.. 04:40
While we wait for more details on the game's first season, DICE will debut Battlefield 2042's first limited-time event. Kicking off later this month, the mode will bring 64-player variants of Conquest, and Breakthrough to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. This is default setting on last-gen consoles, but it will be PC and current-gen console players' first go with the lower player count/smaller maps
I feel you, man. Sometimes I had a lot of Fun with amazing streaks, and another time its so frustrating. Shots are not connecting and the TTK is so weird sometimes. It should be delayed in my opinion, the release was to harsh. Let's hope it's getting better. Thanks for your honest opinion. ❤️
Same experience here. Half the time I’m killing it going crazy on streaks and the other half I feel like the game is actively working against my ability to get a single kill
I can't be bothered to finish breakthrough maps either , but it feels like it kelidascooe every time for me with no browser so i quite when it gets to the skyscrapers no matter what side .
i also believe dmg indicators need to be added not just from a player pov but when i was an admin the amount of times i would catch cheaters on a game like BF1 with dmg hacks because the values don't add up. Would be very useful.
I think you hit the nail on the head, it was never about consumers to begin with, just to make sure its released for shareholders at the right time and when you already make a ton of money off of other games, who cares if it fails. Wish it wasn't all about money and there is developers and publishers that truly care about making a good game.
I'm going to let you know.... It won't ever change, all videogames are going to be like this. They are all doing this. Besides probably most indie games. They release games unfinished and worked on over time. They want money as fast as possible. Also they are changing rn, so soon this feels permanent for the moment. I only see changes coming when no one spends money on the game.
net code is still a joke , its almost not worth using the lmg feels like 15 shot s to kill . It should work and they have the cheek to include bloom or random bullet spread when even the ones that hit don't count .
I commend you for one thing. 2 min in you mentioned this is just going to be an angry rant on a video game. Thank you. Made my decision to close the page that much easier
I think most ps players have turned off cross play because of how horrible this game plays on controller, no/broken aim assist, horrible button mappings (can't change zoom on variable scopes without crouching and there is now way to change it), bad gunplay in an fps game no less and these "legacy features" that they could not be bothered to put in. I do enjoy this game at times but the "balance" choices these devs have made is laughable, seriously what is the point in playing rao, paik or casper when prox nades make them obsolete. I suppose I will have to go and grind to pred on apex again because at least the devs there are somewhat competent
Server browsers and score boards are considered legacy features because they don’t coincide with the “new direction” of gaming. Micro transactions affects game design that’s why all games feel lifeless
I bought this game on preorder. Despite it's awful state I decided agaisnt refunding it a tried to stick up through the BS to see if they could turn it around like they did with BFV. But yesterday I got noticed that I was banned for cheating, something I've never done. So I guess God truly punishes twice... Once for buying a piece of garbage, and two for not refunding it.
Spot on review. Game is fucking disappointing. I had fun during beta, you could avoid vehicles if you wanted (because they weren't all enabled) and there was actually cover in the map between some points. Thought I would have a blast when it released, but what a piece of crap. I'd play more Portal but then you can't get full XP unless on one of their official servers. Just a joke and makes me lose faith in the franchise.
First I play on old gen Xbox, second I’m a mediocre player. I usually run a .90 -1.33 KD. This game is just hot garbage for me. 2042 ran smooth for me with cross play off before the last update, now with cross play off I can’t find a match. I have notice 8 out of 10 deaths with cross play on that I’m getting melted from PlayStation players. I have yet to win a 1vs 1 against a PlayStation player. A lot of the issues you brought up, I have had . Thank you for the video and relieving the second guessing I have had about my ability in this game.
The raw blunt truth is, EA is willing to sacrifice / alienate legacy Battlefield players in the cold calculated “gamble” that the far larger casual low skill gap FPS markets (COD, Fortnite) will more than make up the difference in legacy Battlefield fans who refuse to pay for / play an inferior “Battlefield” game that is little more than a hybrid COD / Apex Legends “skinned” in Battlefield aesthetics and game modes. Allow me to elaborate…. If EA simply wanted to profit off skin sales make successful by COD and Fortnite they could have done so while maintaining the core integrity of Battlefield. The sad and obvious truth is, EA was not satisfied with the existing player base size of Battlefield and growing it over time. EA wanted to chase after the far larger more casual player base that COD and Fortnight possess and refuse to listen to anyone (Dice developers included, which is why most of them left) who advises against such a move. EA is where great gaming studio's / franchises go to be MURDERED. For decades, EA has a long and well documented history of mutilating it's acquired studio's and it’s IP's. Dice is simply the latest causality of "formerly" great studio's / franchises being forcefully "remade" (killed) by EA executive management to chase after more profitable markets. The result almost always being the franchise having it's soul ripped out becoming a shadow of it's former greatness. I've been a long time PC gamer (starting mid 1980's) so I'm all to familiar with how EA operates and how they have grown to become the reviled scourge of the gaming world (akin to what Disney has become in the Cinema world). Battlefield is dead and you can be damn sure EA will double down on the $kin / “Hero” path they have set Battlefield on while simultaneously gaslighting angry / upset ‘naive” legacy BF players who have not caught onto EA’s scheme and that they have zero fu**s to give about “what the community thinks”. (Legacy PC competitive Battlefield player spanning BF2, 2142, BF3, and BF4 with well over 5000+ hours logged)
The game is such garbage. It's so frustrating and the style has completely changed. The maps are terrible, they're not battlefield style maps, I don't know what they are. Specialists are a bad idea, bring back the class system, bring back a scoreboard, get rid of all the bugs, laggy servers and jerky play. Never played such a poor game.
This game is so embarrassing, I won't admit to having even played it. I am glad there are still content creators like Catalyst who are willing to sit down and play/stream this game, it gives me an idea of the current state it's in.
There is ZERO excuse for DICE or EA…. Its sickening what they did to our once beautiful title. They took a giant shit on battlefield and it’s community. This game is dog shit
PlayStation player here, it’s getting harder and harder to find matches with cross play off the further we get from launch. This is their fault. They have ruined my expectations & experience
Development The game is developed by series developer DICE in Sweden, with Ripple Effect Studios, EA Gothenburg, and Criterion Games assisting development.-- Four Developers in total, including DICE..en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_2042
Totally agree with you. Im a long time battlefield fan, but i refunded this game. EA’s greed is killing battlefield, its sad. We shouldn’t buy and support games that are not ready for launch. I personally hope this title dies!
I don't think there is anyone who thinks the game shouldn't have been pushed back that's nothing new but you can't say it's been a failure after 3 weeks. loosen up a little you don't have to tryhard every game, try some new things new guns new characters hell play a different mode. But nothing is an utter failure after 3 weeks
PC Battlefield makes no sense when you're an experienced controller player. XIM no longer works with PS5 games on PS5, sensitivity issues and hackers are non existent on ps5 (with cross play disabled). The only real draw back with PS5 play, is the occasional game crash that not everyone experiences. Either way, the game is ass tho. Here's to hoping they turn it around.
I loved Battlefield from bad company and played everyone on the playstation, I'm only playing 2042 because I'm sick of spending money on games that are broken or not finished. It's like all game companies are in it for the money, I have got to the point now where I'm thinking of stopping playing games and finding something else to do 😢
Cat as one of your biggest fans i truly feel the frustration in this video. Every map on 2042 feels like Panzerstorm on Bf5 b4 they put in trenches. I cant even join my platoon on the same map without pulling my f-cking teeth out. Annie and i luv ya, we are always here supporting you and will be there watching you until the cows come home. Stay safe and healthy Pete and Annie
My problem with it is that BF2042 maps are too big, hit detection and lost its identity to look like COD gameplay movement and animations. I dont like it and I'm sticking to BF1 snd 4.
We want the bfbc2 dice team back. Best bf still to this day. I except every building to have a hole in it when I shoot it with a tank. Your points are pretty much how we all feel. I got my game on console so no refund for me I’ll never buy anything from EA on launch again 🗑
They should give us, 64 cnq and BT as stanard. leave 128 players as an option in portal for those who care for it. another issue is even if you wanted to play smaller modes you will get punished for it cus portal has no xp due to muppets making xp farms.....
I've played 2042 at launch for a few hours. Yeah there were bugs and balancing issues, but the game is just bad. I don't think I'm going to play or even think about it again lol. Well at least they tried.
almost a utter failure more like a total failure i loved the bf franchise but this is total shite EA and dice are just dream sellers. this is the most expensive pre beta game i have brought
i agree with most of the points you make and agree with them throughout the video, but at around 4 mins in dont you dare ever shit on the players trying to see this game for any beauty it has in it they are the core of the game and you should never say anything negative about those saints
Reall battlefield fans know that this game is just wrong in its core I miss bf v 1 not even 4 that shit was good but it’s to old for me. I geus I really miss 1 and V those had some reall fun moments And sonant good maps to
I really delayed making this video in hopes thing would get better, but for every one thing DICE fixes, two more things get broken. Guides return later this week. Have a great day everyone.
great video man did u see tom hendersons video on the dovelopement of 2042 total shit show.have dual pc set up on gaming pc have 5950x and 6900xt and have to keep everything on low and still plays like dogshit
Amen catalyst so true it’s really blah
@@fightinirish73kk I did see his video. Not surprised by a single thing he said. EA are killing this franchise, slowly but surely.
On ps5 there a problem u play a 45 min match and get disconnected at the end alot of times. Or get in a match no gun loadouts and specialist game gives u a random gun and no attachments and cant change anything.
I feel the exact same way you do! payed so much money for this game just to be disappointed! everything you mentioned is 1000% accurate,....even the loading screen is unappealing compared to other versions like bf4/5 even 1! This is robbery to the battlefield community and people are to dumb to realize how crappy this game is compared to other versions!! Like you said if other people are having fun playing it then do so! but ill step back for a bit instead of wasting my time with an unfinished and poorly built game! Cheers!
I love Battlefield. But this... this is no Battlefield title.
This is a Battlefield where EA/DICE decided “oh, CoD did something successful? let’s just copy that. why do what OUR players want?”
I stopped playing the game, personally.
Same....way to many COD ripoffs....I stopped playing too, for the most part. My personal fav is BF 1, I still play that one and still enjoy it
Same. I went back to bfV unbelievably. And you know what? I’m having a blast; classes, 64 players and 144fps. I took these for granted before….because why wouldn’t you??? Apparently the bar sinks lower with each release
@@adrnacad3434 what do mean by again? I thought you said never bought it?
This is a love letter to the battlefield fans, however the love letter was from your ex who burnt down your house and keyed your car. 😂
and roasted your dog in the owen. what a time to be alive indeed…
It’s so hard being a content creator trying to make a straight face knowing deep down this is just not it.
the maps are bland, have no atmosphere. There is supposed to have been a war going on for several years. No buildings are damaged. No burning fires like in BF4 Firestorm or BF5 Map Devastation
You would think that everything looks normal and nothing has been happening. Just everything looks normal.
Its now time to aggressively boycott all of EA/DICE's products. Hurt them where they take notice. They are not worth your money.
I agree with you completely.
They have removed the rooftop capture points on BT maps that you described Cat Breakthrough
Kaleidoscope - Rooftop Capture Objective has been removed. There are now two Capture Objective at the bottom in BT large and one at the bottom in BT small
Orbital - Rooftop Capture Objective has been removed. There is now a single Capture Objective at the bottom in BT large and BT small
Hourglass - Rooftop Capture Objective has been removed. There is now a single Capture Objective at the bottom in BT large and BT small. Also fixed an issue where players were spawning out of bounds
Yep! I'm happy about it but it doesnt mean the new zones will play any better - we'll have to see.
I think pretty much every problem with this game leads back to the decision to have 128 player. I'm not sure who was wanting this. Everything is impacted by this decision - whether it's a tornado that doesn't actually do any #%#% destruction or the fact that it's simply not fun being shot at from all sides all the time.

-Scrap 128 players entirely
-improve the destruction across the board as this most certainly was taken out due to the 128 player account
-improve graphics - all graphics look a step back to me from bf1/bfv. Textures are drab/stale - it almost looks like assets were dumped into a playground without them being blended in or any attention to textures.

Same experience here. Half the time I’m killing it going crazy on streaks and the other half I feel like the game is actively working against my ability to get a single kill
Ye that’s pretty weird how it describes my time playing too dang.
@@carnifex2173 It does feel that at times, the game actively nerfs your aim. 😎 ➡️ 🤡
Not 2 seconds into the video and I already totally agree lol I felt that sigh to the core!
is it normal or bad that im geting around 85fps on my 6800m laptop on 1440p medium setings?
I can't be bothered to finish breakthrough maps either , but it feels like it kelidascooe every time for me with no browser so i quite when it gets to the skyscrapers no matter what side .
i also believe dmg indicators need to be added not just from a player pov but when i was an admin the amount of times i would catch cheaters on a game like BF1 with dmg hacks because the values don't add up. Would be very useful.
I think you hit the nail on the head, it was never about consumers to begin with, just to make sure its released for shareholders at the right time and when you already make a ton of money off of other games, who cares if it fails. Wish it wasn't all about money and there is developers and publishers that truly care about making a good game.
I'm going to let you know.... It won't ever change, all videogames are going to be like this. They are all doing this. Besides probably most indie games. They release games unfinished and worked on over time. They want money as fast as possible. Also they are changing rn, so soon this feels permanent for the moment. I only see changes coming when no one spends money on the game.
Subbed matey, good video
LOL..I didn't even know there were so many BF content creators until I've seen all the rants from the 2042 fallout.
net code is still a joke , its almost not worth using the lmg feels like 15 shot s to kill .
It should work and they have the cheek to include bloom or random bullet spread when even the ones that hit don't count .
I get chewed up by Little Birds and Snipers in the open maps with no cover.... You are correct here.
I commend you for one thing. 2 min in you mentioned this is just going to be an angry rant on a video game. Thank you. Made my decision to close the page that much easier
I think most ps players have turned off cross play because of how horrible this game plays on controller, no/broken aim assist, horrible button mappings (can't change zoom on variable scopes without crouching and there is now way to change it), bad gunplay in an fps game no less and these "legacy features" that they could not be bothered to put in. I do enjoy this game at times but the "balance" choices these devs have made is laughable, seriously what is the point in playing rao, paik or casper when prox nades make them obsolete. I suppose I will have to go and grind to pred on apex again because at least the devs there are somewhat competent
Server browsers and score boards are considered legacy features because they don’t coincide with the “new direction” of gaming. Micro transactions affects game design that’s why all games feel lifeless
I bought this game on preorder. Despite it's awful state I decided agaisnt refunding it a tried to stick up through the BS to see if they could turn it around like they did with BFV. But yesterday I got noticed that I was banned for cheating, something I've never done. So I guess God truly punishes twice... Once for buying a piece of garbage, and two for not refunding it.
Been playing BF since BC2. This isn't BF. Uninstalled and will never touch it again.
The game is a frickin’ disaster. As an original BF 1942 player, it’s complete garbage. Denial is an ugly thing.
Server browser was one of best feature in bf game. But I think they tried to prevent cheaters/hacker hop in servers to farm& ruin it.
Spot on review. Game is fucking disappointing. I had fun during beta, you could avoid vehicles if you wanted (because they weren't all enabled) and there was actually cover in the map between some points. Thought I would have a blast when it released, but what a piece of crap. I'd play more Portal but then you can't get full XP unless on one of their official servers. Just a joke and makes me lose faith in the franchise.
First I play on old gen Xbox, second I’m a mediocre player. I usually run a .90 -1.33 KD. This game is just hot garbage for me. 2042 ran smooth for me with cross play off before the last update, now with cross play off I can’t find a match. I have notice 8 out of 10 deaths with cross play on that I’m getting melted from PlayStation players. I have yet to win a 1vs 1 against a PlayStation player. A lot of the issues you brought up, I have had . Thank you for the video and relieving the second guessing I have had about my ability in this game.
The raw blunt truth is, EA is willing to sacrifice / alienate legacy Battlefield players in the cold calculated “gamble” that the far larger casual low skill gap FPS markets (COD, Fortnite) will more than make up the difference in legacy Battlefield fans who refuse to pay for / play an inferior “Battlefield” game that is little more than a hybrid COD / Apex Legends “skinned” in Battlefield aesthetics and game modes. Allow me to elaborate….
If EA simply wanted to profit off skin sales make successful by COD and Fortnite they could have done so while maintaining the core integrity of Battlefield. The sad and obvious truth is, EA was not satisfied with the existing player base size of Battlefield and growing it over time. EA wanted to chase after the far larger more casual player base that COD and Fortnight possess and refuse to listen to anyone (Dice developers included, which is why most of them left) who advises against such a move.
EA is where great gaming studio's / franchises go to be MURDERED. For decades, EA has a long and well documented history of mutilating it's acquired studio's and it’s IP's. Dice is simply the latest causality of "formerly" great studio's / franchises being forcefully "remade" (killed) by EA executive management to chase after more profitable markets. The result almost always being the franchise having it's soul ripped out becoming a shadow of it's former greatness. I've been a long time PC gamer (starting mid 1980's) so I'm all to familiar with how EA operates and how they have grown to become the reviled scourge of the gaming world (akin to what Disney has become in the Cinema world). Battlefield is dead and you can be damn sure EA will double down on the $kin / “Hero” path they have set Battlefield on while simultaneously gaslighting angry / upset ‘naive” legacy BF players who have not caught onto EA’s scheme and that they have zero fu**s to give about “what the community thinks”. (Legacy PC competitive Battlefield player spanning BF2, 2142, BF3, and BF4 with well over 5000+ hours logged)
The game is such garbage. It's so frustrating and the style has completely changed. The maps are terrible, they're not battlefield style maps, I don't know what they are. Specialists are a bad idea, bring back the class system, bring back a scoreboard, get rid of all the bugs, laggy servers and jerky play. Never played such a poor game.
Remember, EA gave BFV 1.5 years. They won't give BF2042 that much time either.
And the irony of all, BFV has become my fallback Battlefield because of 2042.
I waited til after updates to see if they fixed it, but still loads of issues so tried to refund to be told by Microsoft that it's too late
Spot on! Im actually having a little fun but i play a little at a time a days between play 😆. I enjoy watching you on twitch.
128 in conquest, 64 in breakthrough, 32 in rush and tdm
This game is so embarrassing, I won't admit to having even played it. I am glad there are still content creators like Catalyst who are willing to sit down and play/stream this game, it gives me an idea of the current state it's in.
Would help alot if the objectives weren't on the roof top.. perhaps middle floor so you can flank em any angle
There is ZERO excuse for DICE or EA…. Its sickening what they did to our once beautiful title. They took a giant shit on battlefield and it’s community. This game is dog shit
PlayStation player here, it’s getting harder and harder to find matches with cross play off the further we get from launch. This is their fault. They have ruined my expectations & experience
I quit playing it. I'm sad and let down. I was trying to look past its flaws but I couldn't do it.
Development
The game is developed by series developer DICE in Sweden, with Ripple Effect Studios, EA Gothenburg, and Criterion Games assisting development.-- Four Developers in total, including DICE..en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_2042
Worst be bf ever, game is absolutely 🗑️
"This gameplay is NOT battlefield"........you sir are a genius👍👍👍👍
It….it just doesn’t feel like a classic Battlefield game that I know and love.
Keep the honesty. You just earned a new sub
Hey man! Love the video because I agree with alot!
You forgot the non existing joystick support. But what i'm crying for, as pc player i have a wonderful useless controller setup
Totally agree with you. Im a long time battlefield fan, but i refunded this game. EA’s greed is killing battlefield, its sad. We shouldn’t buy and support games that are not ready for launch. I personally hope this title dies!
People are blaming EA but honestly at this point DICE is probably the bigger problem
I don't think there is anyone who thinks the game shouldn't have been pushed back that's nothing new but you can't say it's been a failure after 3 weeks. loosen up a little you don't have to tryhard every game, try some new things new guns new characters hell play a different mode. But nothing is an utter failure after 3 weeks
PC Battlefield makes no sense when you're an experienced controller player. XIM no longer works with PS5 games on PS5, sensitivity issues and hackers are non existent on ps5 (with cross play disabled). The only real draw back with PS5 play, is the occasional game crash that not everyone experiences. Either way, the game is ass tho. Here's to hoping they turn it around.
I have a PS5, but I play the PS4 version because it has 64 player counts in conquest, which is way better.
I loved Battlefield from bad company and played everyone on the playstation, I'm only playing 2042 because I'm sick of spending money on games that are broken or not finished. It's like all game companies are in it for the money, I have got to the point now where I'm thinking of stopping playing games and finding something else to do 😢
I feel like even if they did delay the game the decisions in the game would still be bad.
Cat as one of your biggest fans i truly feel the frustration in this video. Every map on 2042 feels like Panzerstorm on Bf5 b4 they put in trenches. I cant even join my platoon on the same map without pulling my f-cking teeth out. Annie and i luv ya, we are always here supporting you and will be there watching you until the cows come home. Stay safe and healthy Pete and Annie
I think 64 players is ok for me but doesn't feel like a bf game at all unless playing portal. This game lost its identify.
Have you tried the halo infinite campaign yet?
Not yet!
Great video mate couldn’t have said it better
Trust me, on old gen 64 players matches play like shit too. It's because of the maps themselves, they're just bad
My problem with it is that BF2042 maps are too big, hit detection and lost its identity to look like COD gameplay movement and animations. I dont like it and I'm sticking to BF1 snd 4.
The only reason I like this game is because I never played past battlefield games
There's no way I'm buying this game anytime soon.
I'm not having fun because the design of the game sucked all the fun right out of it.
Vary well said man, I couldn't disagree with one thing you said
We want the bfbc2 dice team back. Best bf still to this day. I except every building to have a hole in it when I shoot it with a tank. Your points are pretty much how we all feel.
I got my game on console so no refund for me I’ll never buy anything from EA on launch again 🗑
They should give us, 64 cnq and BT as stanard. leave 128 players as an option in portal for those who care for it. another issue is even if you wanted to play smaller modes you will get punished for it cus portal has no xp due to muppets making xp farms.....
Great video Gato 🐼🐱👍
I've played 2042 at launch for a few hours. Yeah there were bugs and balancing issues, but the game is just bad. I don't think I'm going to play or even think about it again lol. Well at least they tried.
Lots of the pc crowd was using the EA play to trial this ,anyone who bought this should have done that instead 😅🤣
Are u playing on controller ?
No, mouse and keyboard.
finally a youtuber says squad selection and team switch props💯
almost a utter failure more like a total failure i loved the bf franchise but this is total shite EA and dice are just dream sellers. this is the most expensive pre beta game i have brought
I love battlefield to but I just can.t play this game anymore
great vid and justified. I refuse to even try it
Finally an honest opinion. I agree with everything you said. Keep up the good work Nick.
Great video finally someone speaks the truth. It’s amazing people and big RUclipsrs defend this game
:( even Arc Raiders is more battlefield than battlefield 2042
Welll said, game definitely needs time and work
i agree with most of the points you make and agree with them throughout the video, but at around 4 mins in dont you dare ever shit on the players trying to see this game for any beauty it has in it they are the core of the game and you should never say anything negative about those saints
Reall battlefield fans know that this game is just wrong in its core
I miss bf v 1 not even 4 that shit was good but it’s to old for me.
I geus I really miss 1 and V those had some reall fun moments And sonant good maps to
Keep being honest. You got my sub
Great video! I love battlefield but 2042 is not battlefield! Dog shit is an understatement! Wonder what the future of battlefield holds if any.
Two words digital casino.
Diversity hires ruined this franchise
Honestly battlefield should just go back and make more DLC for BF1😂😂😂😂
I would've been fine with bf4 remastered but they game us this shit... smfh
This battlefield s like a vegan alternative to real meat.
They brought this game way to early
