Battlefield 2042 - The Bang Bang Club Returns

I bought the game. I know theres problems and all that. but bf 4 had a shit launch and it turned out good. I think this will be better than bf 5 I like the beta of this new bf.

Yeah I have the same issue :confused:

I haven’t tried it yet, despite installing. I figured I’d use my 10 hours wisely and wait for the bug fixes first. Guess I’ll be waiting a bit longer

Yeah thats a good idea. Apparently there is a Day 1 patch planned and a Day 10 patch.

I’m a diehard BF fanboy, but I’ll still never buy (or even play) a BF game at launch. I’ve been purposely steering clear of the hype train, I’ve seen maybe 30 seconds of gameplay in total.
DICE always grinds hard on improving the player experience (after EA screws them with deadlines) so I have no doubt that it will be a great game after a few months of patching. BF games traditionally need a ton of balancing, and that only comes AFTER the inevitable bugs are fixed.

My 2c, for what it’s worth.

Well I did it bec I can install it before launch. yeah I hated bf 5 though. Maps were boring. main problem it didn’t feel like ww2.

Yeah I am getting super frustrated with this game

I played a bit on the 10 hour trial. Played some Portal - 3000 ticket match on BF3 Caspian Border. It was cool to see the iconic map remastered.

Then played some Breakthrough at the shipping yards. The big maps work well with this mode and it was a lot of fun being the attacking team.

Definitely had more fun with these two maps than the one in the beta.

I love the maps. They are a lot of fun. Proper bf maps. Its the hit reg and lack of weapons that bug me. I’m ok with the specialists. and the lack of classes. makes no difference to me. Just give more weapons and fix the guns.

I still have a few hours of trial left so I’ll give it a go after the update. At this stage I’m very happy I did not drop R1k on this. I will admit that I’ve had fun when I’ve played, but with the issues the game has had it would be better to grab this later on discount.

Lol I am saving my 10 hours. But maybe after this update I’ll give it a bash if you rate it has some good updates.
Although my game doesn’t even want to download.

I am starting to think AAA game companies need to be purged, the “updates” these days just break everything

“Stops players from looking left and right” has got to be one of the best Worst Bugs Ever, especially given the context of the game. :joy:

It’s all part of DICE’s drive for people to play the objective in front of them - literally.

It hasn’t been a great Battlefield release at all. And they’re still struggling to please BF fans…
