They got bought out by DICE, became DICE New York and helped make BF2. Then EA/DICE shuttered the studio. (so basically every EA acquisition) The original team went on to make Frontlines: Fuel of War and Homefront

Well, I guess one well remembered game is more than a lot of people get.

Mine went through last night as did multiple people ITT and Reddit, but we did it under the policy of you “you can refund a game not yet released, and since bf2042 didn’t release until Friday…” even though I had 23 hours played.

I hope they can it around and I’ll check back in the thread in a few months but I’m not holding my breath.

I asked for a refund on Nov. 15 and Steam denied me because I had exceeded the two hours. wtf.

A hovercraft with the grenade launcher main weapon equipped can basically defend all the elevator points by itself. The splash damage clears out the whole thing easily and effectively. It's hilarious.

For those just joining us and you're already frustrated with ARs, until DICE tweaks (read fixes) the insane dispersion and recoil, best advice I can give is get used to semi auto. You'll still probably lose to the PP since they don't need to try but it gives you a fighting chance at least depending on the range. If you can bear it to start unlocking the barrels and grips, they do help as well.

Now of course once you actually get the PP, feel free to join the party while it lasts.

I mean, I enjoyed BFV at launch, but dropped it within 60 hours when the lack of content became troublesome. My friends dropped it way earlier and I was playing it lone wolf at the end of my time.

Loved BF1, however and played that up until BFV's launch.

The 2042 beta gave me BFV vibes, in that lone wolfing was not going to be fun and I could see my friend group dropping it quickly for any other shooters.

Yep. It's pretty rough right now. They look like they are quick to gather feedback but it's going to take a couple of patches. There's a lot of fun to be had but you need a good tolerance for jank.

I agree with basically this whole video except for adding restrictions to specialists.

Time to main the hovercraft for the next week to get the full mastery for it before they nerf it into the ground. Need to try rolling with voice coms and tow missles and run around in an anti armor role.

You just get a bonus xp for the first match played each day. Countdown timer is telling you when you can claim it again

Some streamers are awesome! I like watching gameplay to make a call before I buy some games and being able to watch hours of candid gameplay is good.

His points in the video were core game is fun, but lots of problems. A lot of this has already been said in the thread.

Main priority:
-Performance (both client and server), and hit registration
-Fix up gunplay to make it closer to beta. Tone down bloom to be more in line with the PP and SCAR for the other guns.
-Fix bugs. The worst being the stuck crouch/can't respawn, can't res players who died near walls, players lose IFF and look like enemies.
-Rebalance pass on guns and vehicles. (Hovercraft!)

Secondary priorities:
-UI customization. Scaling/opacity. Chat on/off
-UX for gun customization
-Lower time taken up by cutscenes at the start of a match
-More guns
-Official extra game modes like TDM
-More destruction on maps
-First person takedown animations as an option
-Larger squad option

Hazard Zone:
-Add more players
-Less bots
-Less data drives
-Out of game progression (Like the base in Tarkov)

Portal:
-Option for persistent servers
-Ways to add objectives or map out areas for custom game modes

He also suggested more restrictions on gadgets/weapons for certain specialists as a compromise to make it closer to the class system but I like the freedom the current system offers.

Stuff I'd add that came up in this thread already:
-Lower range or duration on prox mines and Casper drone to make spotting feel more impactful and less omnipresent.
-Make scoring more like BF4 with numbers changing based on damage/healing done, range on snipe etc
-Add more official queue options like Legacy map mode so you can earn unlocks and xp with 2042 gameplay on Portal maps.
