2042 may have had deece initial sales, but they need player retention to cash in on the cash shop that they didnt have on release b/c they rushed the game so hard lmao

Losing your long-term revenue tail from a battlepass service game has to hurt pretty hard even if the game sold well up front. If they don't get the player count back up they will be missing out on a big chunk of the money they expected.

The melee is super short ranged and will non-reg just like the projectiles often do. The animations also suck. Going against somebody prone (not guaranteed to work in 2042) has been really great since BF4 (even Hardline had great takedowns) but in this one you literally help your opponent stand up before poking them. Plenty of time to get zapped by a sniper or shot off by one of his teammates.

this game is salvageable but they'd have to give every single map a facelift and redesign for gameplay flow which is definitely going to happen with the publishing company that cut and run on the predecessor game it's not hard to blame for that though that's an extremely risky investment to throw good money after bad after you've gotten your initial payout lol

Yeah theres little to no motivation not to go f2p. They already conned the initial suckers. Now they go f2p and put a battlepass thingy in and boom more suckers.

Did they increase the respawn time? I played a few maps earlier and noticed on average it took a lot longer to deploy. Not that I ever really knew why it would take me sometimes two seconds or sometimes over ten to redeploy, but today was mostly the latter.

The respawn timer starts counting down when you get downed, not when you die. So if you're downed for 10s then die, your respawn timer will be 10s shorter.

lmao at DICE inadvertently pissing off some of the people who stuck around with the game grinding out Tier 1 stuff only for it to be made trivial with this zombie mode the level of salt on reddit and twitter over the amount of hours wasted

The cropped variant of Hourglass for the zombies mode doesn’t utilize it’s unique stadium, skyscrapers or even that monument thing, but the area with all the identical, broken dwellings

I think it's because reddit cried about people farming T1 unlocks. The mode was still operating at the 300xp per min cap which isn't outrageous or anything.
