I hated backprone so much which made the melee take-down against them so insanely satisfying. Your character would just headbutt them to death and the animation would still go off even if you instigate the take-down with a bayonet charge. The things dice took from us for 2042 :smith:

Going back to BF1 melee takedowns and then looking at 2042 is sad

Listen buddy, we all got problems!
My main problem BFV was all the sliding. Combine that with the op type2 and it got ridiculous on some maps.

Both BF1 and V were worse than 4. Both are better than 2042.

BF1 looked very nice though. Very complete artistic vision. 4 still better.

4 with the enhanced movement of 1/V and more maps and vehicles would have been very nice. The graphics are still good, great variety of guns and gadgets, nice combination of land, sea, and air.

Im not even sure why 2042 is labeled a Battlefield game. If it were not for BF community speaking out, 2042 would have ended up a CoD clone, hence the devs backpedaling.

4 is better but goddamn can I not go back to it. Between the movement, gun mechanics, the bugged jumping becoming part of the meta, and going up against people that have played nothing but BF4 for almost a decade, it's just not a game I can jump into for a quick couple fun rounds.

Between Elden Ring, HFW, Gran Tourismo and the Cyberpunk Patch, I don't think this game will live to see june. I just realized I haven't even thought about it in more than a week.

That's just sad. This was my absolute favourite MP series.

I just uninstalled it since I completely forgot i still had it installed. Then I reinstalled bfv, played for 20 minutes, then uninstalled that too.

I’ve spent 20 years playing these games but this series is dead/dogshit now. What a shame :(

Yeah, BF4 got great maps, gadgets, and vehicles, but the actual infantry combat is unfortunately kind of garbage by today's standards (and was middling even back then). I kinda wish they'd use the work they put into portal to just do a BF4 remaster with updated shooting and graphics but unchanged everything else.

Yep, I've been maybe playing a round or 2 of 2042 every few days but it's really slowing down.

I'm trying out Hunt: Showdown now actually. There's a game with legs. The playerbase has continually slowly increased since its release in 2018. I think it might start dropping but it's still doing very nicely.

Say what you will about games that make it "Blueland vs Fakebekistan" but at least they never had to change their plans because Fakebekistan started killing people.

Virtue Signaling has to be as efficient as possible. Creating a whole new skin would costs DICE hundreds.

I will say that I've struggled to remember which "side" I have been on in previous BF titles, but the Specialists have made it even more feel like a free-for-all, not connected to the real world.

But this was a lovely hot take to have.

Hey now the homes have some paint cans and stepladders here and there, clearly they are still under construction.

But come to think of it, there is just a nearly complete dearth of houses and apartments in 2042. The only really interesting quasi-residential structures in the entire game are the buildings on top the hill on MANIFEST.
