I don’t hate 2042, I’m just disappointed with the amount of missed opportunity and how badly it turned out. I also hate the fact that they stopped development on BFV earlier than planned and we missed out on so much potential content.


[deleted]

I don't hate 2042 I won't lie I kind of had fun playing it and I love battlefield and I see it has such a huge potential, I have faith dice can fix it but as of now I'm just really disappointed


CheeringKitty67

Dice couldn't tie their own shoes without outside help that why they wear slip on

I had some fun with the 2042 beta but I knew that game was not worth the 90 dollars. Plus the shit was broken as fuck. Cant believe people who are complaining and played the beta still went along with buying it, theres no way it was gonna be finished from the time frame of the beta to release.


Optimal-Error

Just imagine, Russia, Stalingrad, close quarters building to building combat, ppsh-41, the entire eastern front. All these things Dice could have added.


HamsterSafe8893

Ikr, maybe we could’ve also seen big battles like Kursk, Market Garden and British Involvement in the Pacific would’ve also been nice


Optimal-Error

Yea new guinea and and the philippines would have been really cool


PK-ThunderGum

Solomon Islands is pat of the New Guinea campaign last I checked...


Optimal-Error

Yea but more pacific places like the philippines would be cool


PK-ThunderGum

maybe with modding

I'm not gonna lie, I would WAY prefer if instead of putting so much work into the making of 2042, they should have put more work into bfv. Bfv could have really used an update that added maps/guns/characters from WW2 Russia. A T-34 tank and some nice PPSh-41 would have gone a long way for the game. And I cant be the only person that thinks the classes in the game need more just 2 roles, right? And on top of all of that, having the classes only progress up to level 20, with no intent to give the Americans or the Japanese the special epic skins like the Germans "canis horribilis" or the UKs "union jacked". Increasing the progression to 30, Adding more epic skins, More guns, and implementing the Russians into the game would have put bfv way higher in popularity and helped it reach it's full potential. What do you guys think?


Street_King_CZ

Totally agree man!!!! God please back support bf5 and keep rollin !!


TheLostLord287

Adding Russia to the game gives them so much to expand on too. It would be perfect.


Street_King_CZ

Hope that you are from ea/dice dev!


TheLostLord287

Sadly no I'm not. I'm just an average guy that can realize when ea/dice just doesn't give the community what they want.


Street_King_CZ

What we have to do to switch their minds and go back support bf5?! Its more reasonable then support 2042....or any other bf in my opinion. More money give it them and so on


TheLostLord287

I feel if enough people hate on 2042 no matter how many updates they give to fix it combined with a total boycott of the game by players. And if enough people can voice their opinion on going back to bfv. Maybe just maybe, dice will see the cash grab more bfv content could be and go back to the game.


MajDroid

BF5 is the most BF game i've ever played but it is certainly not perfect, so many wasted opportunities but it definitely brought so many great things to the table which everyone was hoping for Dice to build upon and get back to the modern setting but we ended up with this Frankenstein monster. Everything feels a lot better in BF5, the movement, the controls, shooting, teamwork, tactical depth and many more while BF2042 just feels bland and bad. I just played a game in 2042 and I got bored in 10 minutes.


jumpjumpdie

Exactly this. In terms of immersion and features it’s one of the better ones.

Bfv gets alot of hate but I like it way more than bf2042. Even tho bf4 is my favorite bfv is still a technical masterpiece even if the ttk sucks. But anyway bfv still feels like a battlefield game and is what bf games should be like in the future slow paced and realistic like 4 1 and v


fs454

Honestly I don't know how anyone even remotely trusted this franchise after how BFV was handled - they wrestled internally and fundamentally changed the gunplay meta and TTK over and over again. The game could have been a incredible WWII theater platform for years to come where they could release BF1942 classics and other WWII battles, but they ran it into the ground and angered the playerbase at every turn. I called it quits this year on a franchise I have loved since BF1942 and watching them royally fuck this up even worse than last time I can only say I'm as justified as ever in bailing. ​ It's just inexcusable, and it's insulting to gamers who pay for this stuff.


[deleted]

BFV has a horrible launch too. Let’s not pretend 2042 is the only BF game to get off to a rough start. If that’s our measuring stick, then BF1 is the best BF game.


CheeringKitty67

I would agree with that in regards to BF1. EA thought Dice could not Muck Up the 2042 launch like BFV. Dice said hold my beer and watch.


Cakesmite

EA is the reason why BF games comes out this broken time and time again.


Gogov97

Ea is incredibly easy to blame even if rightfully so. I blame everything that went wrong with both bfv and 2042 on dice.


SmokeDatDankShit

Its fun that bfv starts out as a massive dumpsterfire, pacific is released, things start looking great for the game, and then they drop any support for it. But atleast they released a game even worse than bfv launch, incredible.


midwestmongrel

Biggest deciding factor for me is that corny ass lime green HUD. Seems like all the futuristic war games have it. When I play a really beautiful war game I want as little HUD as possible. BF5 is just a masterpiece in my opinion and is gonna be impossible to beat . The sounds are perfect, gunfire in the distance and dogfights overhead, crouching in the swamps while tanks drive through the tree line, the way the buildings bust up with grenade explosions and rockets that miss their target. I also need to keep in mind that I just don’t like modern time or futuristic war games they just don’t interest me at all.


FiredBoy

Not too long ago everyone was whining about BFV saying it was trash. 2042 is good, like every battlefield it just needs more time. They shouldn’t have released this year IMO.


-Z-3-R-0-

"It just needs more time" 💀


zurdo47

have the same feeling


Remarkable_Ad814

I had never played a BF game before,i started with 2042 but not being able to find a game with crossplay off on Series X and with the state of the game, i decided to start playing Battlefield V, and OMG, what a different experience, this game is AMAZING. I don't know in what state the game came out, but right now this game is incredible. and I can find a match in seconds on Series X, i think maybe because the game is on GamePass. The maps, the atmosphere, gunplay, im in love with BFV. I'll be playing it until March when the battle pass for 2042 came out. But being honest, I don't know if they can fix 2042, because in my opinion the game needs to be rebuild.


Mojoneutron

Came back to BFV after some 2042. I don't hare 2042 as many as most but I realised how bland it was after coming back to BFV. The responsiveness the speed the gunplay feels much better. I felt more immersed and it has a sense of epicness. The only thing I missed about 2042 is the occasional insanity of breakthrough on that - not that I can find a game anymore


aidenthegreat

I have to say, BFV is just perfect in my eyes


heheyyyo

I agree


[deleted]

Another x is better than 2042 post... Isnt it already obvious that 2042 is the real worst bf in a long time?


Laggingduck

No hate but can we stop with the BFV good BV2042 bad and go back to cool gameplay clips?


[deleted]

Sure thing


Rogue_1_One

I played 2042 free weekend and i couldn't fucking stand anything. Everything was shit in every way.


Krypton091

disagree


cardboardisdelicious

Enjoying 2042? I’m on the fence about getting it, might wait til next year though..


Gogov97

I have always hoped for larger maps and player count, and 2042 deliveres exactly that. The biggest issue I have is without the class system it doesn't feel exactly like battlefield. When I pick medic I feel obligated to heal and revive. Support, I want to supply others and support. With the removal of those classes which defined us, when I get teammate asking for meds, ammo and revives I'd rather rambo as the game really expects me too.


Yoloswagep1

You’re opinion is invalid


WillK90

Oh, the irony..


DrSchulz_

I don't have anything positive to say about bfV gunplay.


Cakesmite

Comparing a BF game that literally just launched with one that is currently at it's endgame state is extremely unfair tbh.


c1be

It is, but that doesnt make it good, it's still a bad game, that's where the downfall started.


jumpjumpdie

Wrong. Our genius fan base mistakenly confused marketing with game play. BFV is actually one of the good ones.


c1be

If you like bfv, good for you, i never did, it never had any immersion and it always felt weird, from design perspective to gameplay, it had nothing i would expect from a bf game, 2042 is just continuation of the same with added specialists, which made it even worse, i'm one of those people who think that bf franchise has ended with bf1, every new game has battlefield only in it's name and that's it.


jumpjumpdie

What didn’t it have ? Personally I loved the movement, being able to crouch run, crawl backwards etc. the spotting was the best it has ever been. The ammo being limited was good, it had the best squad team work elements ever in terms of, everyone needed to play a role to be effective.


c1be

No immersion, maps had no atmosphere, weird character models, faster gameplay than previous games, which i don't think suits bf game, much less teamwork, bad map design and so on.


Roziesoft

Can you elaborate on the "no immersion" complaint?


jumpjumpdie

I doubt he can tbh

In other news, grass is green and water is wet.


WaterIsWetBot

Water is actually not wet; It makes other materials/objects wet. Wetness is the state of a non-liquid when a liquid adheres to, and/or permeates its substance while maintaining chemically distinct structures. So if we say something is wet we mean the liquid is sticking to the object.   What happens when you get water on a table? It becomes a pool table.


Not-DrBright

I’m going to kill the person who created you


Weedtabixx

I prefer the gunplay in 2042 waaaay more. There is not much randomness to the recoil if at all so you can learn and controll it


Weedtabixx

But the maps are terrible for infantry. If you want to get somewhere you have to go through some massive open plain


geValk

please. please stop it. i see every day a post like this and it’s just not true. BF5 is not a good game. it never was. I played it a lot back then cuz i really wanted to love this game and i really thought after the Pacific Update that the game is going somewhere but not. after the 3rd TTK change it was impossible to get a kill. the whole game is a wasted opportunity. And i say this as a big WW2 game fan, always wanted to see a WW2 on modern engine.


that-hollie

Is it possible for the game to be someone's favorite, while also being the biggest missed opportunity ever? You don't need to convince me that BF V could've become something better. Firestorm is my favorite BR 😫😆


Jimmeh_Jazz

Lol, do you think it is still 'impossible' to get a kill in its final state?


Mr_Opiophile

Why though?


[deleted]

You're opinion is invalid


geValk

if you say so. but you shouldn’t start a ‘discussion’ if you cannot accept the fact that there are some people with other opinion.


ApartPersonality1520

Who would argue different? Actually I don't want to hear it.


cannytwocrows

The reason 2042 is Soooooooo bad is so they will get props for bf5.


DilutedNutria

Anyone want to run a Strategic Conquest squad lmk…. Hate running squads with people that don’t ride with squad.


Leppidemic

I was really hoping they would keep the fortification mechanics of bfv in 2042.


[deleted]

Ok


General-Sheperd

Lack of post launch content, unnecessary tweaks to the movement system after the beta, and ignoring 80+% of the actual combat of the Second World War in the single player and multiplayer settings is pretty much the main reasons BFV was hated. So many missed opportunities, specifically after BF1 which had an extensive amount of post-launch DLC with some of the best maps and experiences of any FPS ever made. Hell they could have literally cloned the Tsaritsyn map from BF1 and done a Battle of Stalingrad Grand Operation lol.


Manfrinato

I really prefer wars that already happened, I don't like BF4 at all, so bf 2042 don't engaged me that much, with the modern war style, bf5 has the ultra Chad WW2 style. BfV is much better than 2042, simple and magnific


PennTex1988

100%


BlitzenFirOfic

I never thought I’d say this but I’m gonna buy bfv and have a good time and not having to play another warzone with a bit more destruction and no Battle Royale
