5 Things Battlefield 2042 Must Learn From Battlefield V’s Mistakes

DICE has a really good chance to hit a homerun with Battlefield 2042, and here are five things it should avoid learning from Battlefield V's mistakes.

1 Include Anti-Cheat
2 Include Anti-Cheat
3 Include Anti-Cheat
4 Include Anti-Cheat
5 Include Anti-Cheat

This is also why I mostly play multiplayer shooters on consoles. And yeah, EA needs to be on the ball with this. There are already cheats for sale even now.

Pre-ordering cheats. Yeesh.

Rachel_Alucard1449d ago

Not just that. How about actually banning people who get reported for it instead of having to throw screenshots and videos in front of the one in charge on twitter? There were people in BFV still running around months after cheating every match completely untouched by anybody. Reporting is just a placebo to feel like you got justice on EAs games.

TheSinsibleOne1449d ago

So I just report you and you get banned immediately. Sadly that's why they need proof.

Rachel_Alucard1449d ago

I never said that? The report button is useless in game and people shouldn't need to go the CM to get anything done about notorious cheating. All they have to do is take one look at your record or even a single match to see, but they never even do that.

John_McClane1448d ago

I hear a lot about cheaters but I never see any.

Rachel_Alucard1448d ago

You'll see them doing things like headshots with an LMG across the map since they have auto aim with no recoil. I have had way too many to count on BFV that still have everything as if they never did anything.

My biggest issue is limiting Weapons to certain classes, I get the equipment but not a rifle…

Teflon021449d ago

They did it to balance roles. But they're allowing all classes to use all weapons now so shouldn't be a issue anymore

Muzikguy1449d ago (Edited 1449d ago )

I personally liked the feature, but shall see how this turns out. I haven't played a BF game in a long time. COD either

Saijahn1449d ago

Hopefully visibility will be better. The map size already makes the players seem like ants at a distance and now they're adding more players to the mix. Also go back to the old spotting mechanic. So far I like what I've seen, haven't enjoyed a battlefield multiplayer since hardline.

TheHan1447d ago

@Saijahn; Yes I agree, the spotting system needs to be brought back and be more affective. If you see four soldiers running over a hill you should be able to mark the 4 in site without having to try and spot each individual soldier. This is one of the most useful features they had, yet ruined it in their future installments.

theHunter Call of the Wild is the best hunting game ever made. I understand it may not be everyone's cup of tea, it can be really slow going. But the environments (they look phenomenal, especially for a 2017 game!), the satisfaction of finally landing a Gold or a Diamond keep you coming back for more. I have over 600 hours in it, my dad in his 70's has around 1,500 in it! The only game he plays, even bought a PS4 Pro for it back in 2019 lol We get on almost every week to catch up bc we live about 4,000 miles apart overseas. New Snowy Canadian map is coming out this next Tuesday. I highly recommend this one! 👍

**I'm really happy to see Eiyuden Chronicles on here. I was about to buy that one after replaying the Suikoden Remasters recently!

jznrpg10d ago

How’s the ballistics in the game? If it’s done well I may check it out.

OtterX10d ago

they've gotten better with some updates throughout the years, but I wouldn't say they are perfect. But they're good enough that it's still a lot of fun. If you hang around their discord a while, you'll see quite a number of avid real life hunters who are pleased enough.

andy8511d ago

Yeesh. Pretty awful tbh and the PS premium support is shocking

repsahj10d ago

They should combine the premium and extra subscriptions and use the extra pricing for it.

OtterX10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Yea, that was my biggest complaint. If it weren't for my Portal, I would have cancelled my Premium. But it looks like they've leaned in on the streaming aspect as a selling point of Premium now, instead of the Classics. :\ I do like the streaming on Portal!

Npugz711d ago

Ps plus extra has been garbage this year

KwietStorm_BLM10d ago

Firebreak has been surprisingly fun. Can't wait for the full game. And Deus Ex!

Will be giving dues ex a crack

Another meh month and only 1 single classic wtf Sony. I was hoping after the price hikes for PSN we might get a good month spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down and all that

crazyCoconuts38d ago

Last month had harry potter and blue prince
I wouldn't say ANOTHER meh month

OtterX38d ago

Sandland looks right up my alley and I'm excited to give it a shot. I honestly missed this game somehow, never heard about it until now.

pwnmaster300038d ago

Maybe I’ll go check out battlefield 5 again.
Maybe this will give a little boost

PapaBop38d ago

Some of the best psvr 2 titles leaving, nothing coming, way to support your psvr 2 owners. Still, I don't mind the games coming personally.

crazyCoconuts38d ago

Yeah I upped to premium when they started adding psvr2 with the expectation that they would keep coming. now when my sub ends I'll be scaling back
