this game (BF 2200 or whatever) is going to be garbage

Played almost every Battlefield game on PC since the 1942 Wake Island demo, and I have a pretty good stinkdar. 2042 looks to be one of the better ones, if not the best.

The fact that 2042 is going to have Jeep Stuff™ in it means it’s going to be one of the best installments in the series

Game will be fun. Then game will be bad. We’ll proclaim never to get sucked into BF hype again. The next game trailer drops. The cycle continues.

TTK will be changed at least once based on "data" and player count bleed which only accelerates players leaving until :dice: panics and half reverts the change

On the fence about pre-ordering. Guess I'll wait till the beta drops to see how I feel about it. The stupid "1 week early access" is a trend that needs to die though. I know it gives you season 1 (year 1 as they call it) content. Has there been any word on the pricing of season/year content yet? An extra $30 to play a week early and have the gaas content seems a bit much tbh. I just wanna play a fun BF game again.

it's just a battlepass now isn't it? preordering ultimate goes from pointless to actual waste if the game is bad and you don't end up playing the first seasons

Looking forward to the traditional DICE weapon balancing when battle pass guns drop and they’re golden-gun-from-goldeneye level powerful and completely poo poo up matches until a week-late hotfix nerfs them but also inexplicably breaks vehicle physics.

The one and only possible justification for pre-ordering is if you are willing to pay money to play the game early. BFV deluxe didn't even come with the content it promised it would and by the time they delivered it, it was basically obsolete. An actual scam, intentional or not.

Any indication how long the beta will be? Scheduled to be out of town so I may preorder (knowing I can get a refund) for early access

You also get early access with EA play pro and all of the deluxe edition cosmetics (at least you did for V). A refundable $15 if the early access sucks, and if it doesn't then you have a month to pick up the game at a discount.

outpost mode was the actually good mode of BFV and if the entire game had been built around it like the bad companies were built around rush and codename eagle was built around capture the flag then it would have been one of the best battlefields, even after getting updates cut off because of covid

I thought they stopped updating 5 because somebody took a look at the project and decided not to throw good money after bad.

Was the best but not the last. They added one more map and a bunch of weapons sometime in 2020 before bailing completely

Which was basically "here's all the poo poo we've got left, gently caress it" in update form, granted im a sucker and this was great to have a buncha new guns to level.

Probably but covid was the official reason given. They also stopped updating Battlefront 2 at the same time so I figure they made a decision to pull all teams off updating old games and put them all in on 2042 ASAP because they didn't know how much of a hit collaboration and productivity would take from the pandemic.

BFV also didn't have Premium so it was the first BF in a long time without an obligation to make a certain amount of DLC. A lack of premium also made hacking seem more prevalent. There wasn't less hacking in BF1 but it was all mostly confined to vanilla map servers since most hackers were not going to waste another $60 just to cheat on a different map.

The lack of actually having community/rental servers with mods and admins around to ban hackers from the server is what made hacking seem more prevalent

I wouldn't know since I usually got kicked off those servers for killing the admin with a shotgun too many times. Also BFV did get community servers eventually but they all sucked since they always included Metro in the rotation.

I liked the ability for anyone to revive but having it take twice as long. It made you choose if it was worth it or not.

I think the tradeoff is that only one character gets a rez that works out of squad, so it's not like half the team is running paddles and then on top of that everyone else can squad revive

and you're giving up like a grappling hook / auto turret / whatever to do the out-of-squad rez
