Announcing Battlefield 2042: Redux

Today, the Battlefield 2042 team released the latest Development Update detailing all the exciting content in store for the shooter.

[Elda]

No thanks.

[Leeroyw]

But it has two x'es.... Reduxx. See? It's not only a redux, but it has dlc.... Which is an extra x.

X sold separately.

[isarai]

Nah

[-Foxtrot]

I'mma do my own thing

[Omnisonne]

Yeah.. more like ''Announcing BF2042: Give us another chance.. but for full price''

[ObsessedGeorge]

Exciting? Hahaha!

[ModsDoBetter]

Yeah I'm done with this one.
Every year since BF1 I said it would be the last one I buy at launch, but 2042 really sealed the deal for me. Absolutely garbage fire.

[crazyCoconuts]

I just played last week. It feels solid to be now and it's a lot of fun

[zachyBROosevelt]

People will disagree because that’s the thing to to but totally agree with you… competent bf game now. Not the BEST but, competent

[isarai]

@zach

Nope, I disagree because I disagree. Gave it a try when it went free on PS+. Competent game? Sure, but NOT a competent BF game. It feels like a decent mobile ripoff of BF. Which is to say, soulless and cheap. BF Heroes played better than this garbage and I have no nope for the series going forward.

[crazyCoconuts]

Decent mobile ripoff? It's got bigger maps, the best graphics so far and even includes the older games in Portal. I mean, it's not perfect, but it's still Battlefield. Also, fwiw, it's the only cross platform shooter that doesn't have goofy superheroes running around and crap like that. It tries to feel somewhat authentic

[outsider1624]

I loved bf3. That's my last bf game. Im currently downloading this new one since it's free. What's so bad about it? Haven't they fixed all the launch issues?

[NoFanBoy]

BF4,1 and 5 are all much better games.

[Flakegriffin]

Yeah they did. It’s in a much better state now.

[TheEnigma313]

There's a lil fun to be had with the game. Not worth full price at all though. I played it for free also and it was fun for a bit.

[Kaozz1979]

I am with you on this one. I kept buying the new Battlefield every time thinking it is getting better. After BF2042 I am done and I am not touching it again. I don't care how many updates they bring out for this game.

[ModsDoBetter]

@Crazy
@Zachy

The reason companies like EA don't change is because of this outlook. I'm glad you both enjoy it and get your money's worth but is it truly acceptable to say "its competent now" almost two years after launch, two years after they took consumers' hard earned cash?

No, its not.
Being happy with this will keep the cycle going. Every recent Battlefield entry, they overhyped it, release it with missing features and full of bugs, over promise and under deliver whilst ignoring community feedback. They apologise and say they're "committed to providing an authentic battlefield experience" and reassure us they'll learn for the next entry....they never learn. Money talks.

The issue is, BF and COD used to battle it out between Oct and Nov annually but now that COD is a shell of its former self, so is Battlefield and with MoH being killed as a franchise, there's no direct competition so we get these lacklustre efforts with a juicy price tag.

[seanpitt23]

They should of canned this Game you can't polish a turd, what was the Devs thinking with 2042 it's like all the old Devs must of left and they got new people in and it's as if they have never played a game in there lives

[NoFanBoy]

Most senior devs that knew frostbite did leave , many are at Embark studios.

[Dazelya]

I see so many trash and copy/pastes comments... Yeah BF2042 started very terrible, but atleast they are not give up like idiot Activision/Infinity Ward did... They try and try harder and now game is in pretty good state. Anyway kids... just try and learn before saying something.

[anast]

Nice attempt, but this comment won't get more than 15 downvotes. I'll give you one to help prove myself wrong.

[crazyCoconuts]

You got an upvote from me. I wish I could tell how many of these opinions come from people that have actually played the game.

[anast]

You have a point, but people usually get downvotes for people that use stupid ways to make a point, such as name calling. In all honesty, it is one of the dumbest ways to argue something. It cathartic and entertaining, I get it , but it is used to fill the void created by artificial authority.

[PapaBop]

Started terrible is an understatement , Battlefield 4 had a terrible start but it still felt like a Battlefield game. EA/DICE gave BF fans the middle finger with 2042 so we gave them the middle finger back. Maybe the game is in a great place right now but I couldn't care less, I washed my hands clean of that should have been aborted fetus, there are games far more deserving of my time developed by people who actually care about their fanbase.

And they try and try harder? The game doesn't even have a server browser ffs, That right there tells you just how out of touch they are. That would be wall of shame worthy for any Battlefield developer who respected their fanbase.

[Flakegriffin]

This is how we know you don’t play because BF2042 DOES have a server browser. It’s had a server browser since day one lmfao

[crazyCoconuts]

@flake EXACTLY...I think the truth is in the "middle finger" comment. So much emotion that it doesn't matter what they do.
This is a GAME. A large development team put a lot of work into it. Mistakes were made, but people shouldn't take it personally. If the game sucks, fine. But if they put in work to fix it, forgive and move forward!

[badboyz09]

🤡

[anast]

How much is the Tanooki suit?

[CrimsonWing69]

Time limited bundles? Man... this whole feeding off of FOMO is getting tiring. Not that I'd play this piece of dung, but just seeing that "time limited bundles are back in store" makes me want to puke my guts out all over my computer screen.

Like that's something you're trying to get people enticed with to try out your game?

How about just offering free diarrhea relief medication when you pay to play this game instead?

[Fluke_Skywalker]

Just let it die and start fresh!

[Ninver]

For free? If not get fk'd. Too many awesome games out this year to waste time and money on such trash.

Incompetence will not be rewarded.

[Flakegriffin]

Yes, for free.

[Btf_1991]

Fool me once...

[moomoo319]

I hope it gets to a fun state and ill buy for $15-20. Been waiting so long for a next-gen BF4 sequel. Yall who have played it is it any fun??? Dont bullsh*t me 😂

[Flakegriffin]

Milesss better now than what it was on launch.

[ChiefofLoliPolice]

Epic Fail. Hard pass.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

I'll care once Bad Company 3 is announced

[gold_drake]

meh
it didnt work out the first time, why should i be bothered now.

[Extermin8or3_]

Honestly.... rather play mw2/3 aay what you will about COD but at least the games are playable on release. The DMZ is far better than the battlefield attempt at the same concept. Cod has a solid campaign typically to boot.

[Father__Merrin]

It's actually a good game but ruined with quick kill timers. No feeling of plowing bullets in someone. And we don't want operators just classes on its own

Needs more maps Inc classic maps

[CobraKai]

Still no campaign? Im good.

[PhillyDillyDee]

Eww who cares?

[Abear21]

Run for three to five straight minutes (as teammates drive by me) only to get shot by a sniper 100 yards from the choke point —Or, spawn on a vehicle just to have it blow up seconds later. This is my Battlefield experience with 2042
