It’s an outside chance but I hope they use some parts of the “classic mode” rules from BF4 as the default for 2042. Bringing those rules in so late in BF4 means they never got a real chance. I don’t really have any issues with the regular rules but having a bit more structure to the team game without needing to lose 40% of your health in hardcore was nice.

Good to see there's a free battlepass, seems like the premium bullshit is the usual skins and so on. I think this will be the first time any of us pay so much for an MP-only game, but this (based on the little info we have) looks very, very good.

Yeah, locking whole maps and key equipment behind DLC was one of the dumbest things ever did, and it fractured the hell out of the playerbase at the time. Restricting paid DLC to playing soldier barbie seems fine.

IW's approach to battle passes is pretty good? All the actual content is in the first 1/3 of the battlepass, the rest is entirely cosmetic and finishing the pass gives you enough fake currency to get the next pass for free.

Checking in as another goon excited to maybe have good Battlefield back. I sorta want to preorder because of how hilariously broken 3 and 4 were at launch, but I know it's a bad idea.

What was it that made BFV so bad anyway? I only played a for a few hours on EA's sub service but it felt kinda off the whole time.

I think at launch it was kinda bland and lifeless, not much content and weird balancing. I'm playing at the moment as it was free with PS+ and it's actually pretty great! But, it took like 2 years to get better so I can only imagine what it was like for the 'early adopters'.

USAS frag rounds + irnv lets go. See the current version of FuckBite concerns me. The main reason I never got into 1, V or Battlefronts is they just dont feel right to me after so much time in 3/4. I'm remembering correctly right? It is a new iteration of the engine since after BF4? I've been deciding whether to buy based on the beta since 3 so it fuckin sucks I gotta preorder for that, or early access anyway. But I guess I can just cancel as others have said they will. Bots bad. They were fine playing UT on PS2 when there was literally no other choice. Fine if its just for a practice mode, kill time waiting for a server, but I dont want them in my actual game. There'd better still be HC too, and you guys better play it. Reg date 2008, but played 4-5 years of 3&4 by myself like a dummy. Even if it doesn't live up to them though I guess I can see it being fun playing with a group. Especially with the advent of shadowplay and stuff now, I never got a single clip of anything that happened in 1200 hours or so of 3&4.

I wanted to love that game so much but...nope. Hopefully 2042 will be solid. I missed out on much of BF1 because my computer sucked and couldn't handle it (It actually ran just fine on low settings: it's just at the first map drop patch I went from "Game bitches my computer is out of date but runs" to "Game bitches my machine is such a potato it refuses to even load").

There was a later glitch when Panzerstorm was added where people could move vehicles all over the maps prior to the round start by simply going in reverse, which included going into normally out of bounds areas. Invisible guns and ammo magazines were also a thing for a while with some weapons as well. Anyway, chalk me up as another very much intrigued by the way 2042 looks. They’re saying a lot of good stuff so far, and I’m really hoping for cross play insanity as well.

Another issue that both BF1 and BFV shared is that just dumped so many automatic weapons into them that the firefights didn't really have much of a unique period feel to them. In 2042 that presumably won't be a problem, since the setting will finally match the gameplay.

Here for this, 2142 is my favorite battlefield and this looks like 2142: The Prequel. Weird thing though is that their setting says the EU dissolves but is somehow one of 2 dominant global powers in 100 years?

DICE is seemingly incapable of making a new Battlefield without loving with the class system and some of the best Battlefields have had drastically different systems so I'm at least willing to see if it's just "Class + dumb toys" and that'll probably be fine.

From what I recall of BF4 everyone just used carbines all the time on all classes anyway so it's not really that much different. I haven't played it in forever so I might be wrong about this though

If they have no name, shoot. If they have a blue name just shoot them anyway because they deserve it. I think halo is the only game I’ve played where player uniforms are actually visible enough to distinguish friend and foe on the fly, so it won’t be an issue. The one trick that won’t work in this game is listening for someone yelling in the other teams native language to know when an enemy is near by since each team is a conglomerate of different countries, but visually it’ll be no different than any other battlefield.

In addition to what everyone else said, they removed Jihading/made it near ineffectual. Probably the most iconic bit of Battlefield, and they took it out. I stopped playing Battlefield V when they just randomly removed the ability for the light tank to damage medium and above armor. There was no reason for it, the only time it would cause any problem is if the light tank player used ground strategically to get superior positioning behind an enemy tank, and even then, a decent tanker could still win it. But DICE decided even that bit of challenging gameplay was too fun and completely removed it without telling anyone.
