Battlefield 2042 is missing features. Especially excellent gameplay mechanics from Battlefield V
Battlefield 2042's Rush Mode faces criticism due to passive playstyles that hinder objective-based gameplay.
Battlefield franchise boss thinks Battlefield "absolutely can" outsell Call of Duty, but says they're not targeting that with the next entry.
Feel like if that were true, we would have seen it during the BF3/4 era. Just focus first on releasing a Battlefield that's actually feature complete, well put together, that people actually want to play right out of the gate. Hoping Zampella can make this happen.
The best opportunity was BF1 vs. Infinite Warfare. I've never actually seen a worldwide sales comparison so I'm not convinced BF1 didn't eventually win, but I do know COD sold better in the US at launch, because it was the NPD #1 that year, while BF was #2.
The best opportunity was with BC2 and BF3. BF4 dropped the ball with a short campaign and bugged multiplayer at launch
Release a decent game and let the mouth to eat do the rest.. you choose to release another BF4 then blame yourselves for it

Definitely not BC2. I love the Bad Company games (even though everyone always pretends the first one didn't exist), but even though BC2 has achieved great respect in hindsight, at the time it came out a lot of casuals who bought COD every year either didn't know of Battlefield's existence or saw it as a knockoff of COD. Plus coming out in spring 2010 it was competing against MW2 (the original one) which came out the prior fall.
I mean, the title of the game doesn't have a lot to do with how it sells. The next game is not going to change things but Zampella course change the course of the series towards something that's more on track with that those big player numbers.
With that said, battlefield fans might not want that. To acquire the wider audience they would probably need to betray a lot of the series design principles. Call of Duty is as popular as it is because it is as simple as it is.
In his defense, BF2042 did turn things around eventually though still falls short of franchise expectations if you based it on BF4, BF3, BF1.
Hated it at lunch, came back a two years after and it was an absolute blast. Not sure how it did sales wise to be called failure or success but BF2042 is a pretty good game .
We don't need more games ruined. It's like that company puts water on their bread before they eat it.
Here we go again with rubbing mouths. BF has been a flop consistently since BF4, and I mean flop as in disappointing to the fan base due to the technical issues each has had and the gameplay changes needlessly made. Shut up and make a good BF before hyping up another potential disappointment.
Bro gave one pretty decent interview and answered the questions he was asked. Not really his fault if people want to cherry pick quotes for "content".

I don't mind them claiming BF2042 wasn't a failure so long as they learned from it and use that experience moving forward into the new game, it was terrible at launch but towards the end it got a bit better. I don't want to see the same thing play out with the new BF though because the ones who are still interested in the franchise have been pretty vocal with what they want and don't want from Battlefield.
Battlefield 2042 may no longer be receiving new seasons, but it's already been confirmed that a new Halloween event will hit the game later this year.
Yeah unfortunately 2042 is a travesty of what Battlefield shoud be. DICE desperately need to stop chasing after the COD fanbse and just lean into their own fanbase. I've never seen a developer who consistently ignores it's core fabase in pursuit of those who won't even put the time into the game. It's as though DICE got a whole load of COD and Apex legends payers and asked them what they would like in a Battlefield game; and then they never bothered to ask the actual Battlfield players what they would want to see in a Battelfield game. Either that or DICE are just completely tone deaf.
I mean did nobody on the entire production and develpemnt team have the courgae to say that removing classes was not just a bad idea, but was fundamentally contrary to the whole point of what makes battlefied unique. Did nobody on the entire dev team play the game and realise that by removing classes team work broke down completely?
Unles ofcourse, this was the point. To become more like COD and Apex legends and move away from being Battlefield. Well if that's the case, then they can count me out.
It also has no classes which breaks down the balance.
EA (owns Dice) wants that F2P money and has 0 problem cannibalizing its franchises to get it.
Luckily for EA, most of the hardcore BF fans will still buy the game then drop it later. Similar to F2P, masses of sales then sharp drop in player count, and on to consoom the next release.
Yeah, where's the hell is the dedicated communication wheel button? I'm quite shocked they got rid of that like wtf.
Spiderman ropes, hero characters that constantly chat shit when you don't want them and are indistinguishable across all factions, a mad UI that hurts your eyeballs. Garish neon shit on your screen for no reason and also hurts your eyeballs. Lack of distinct classes. Music blaring from vehicles that isn't even thematic and is just weird. What else? Bugs. Lots of bugs. And I'm sure the cosmetic microtransactions will be rife.
Games really have fallen off a cliff these days. But sure, gotta keep the Fortnite kids happy.
It's not just missing features - 2042 is simply missing the essence of what makes Battlefield games, Battlefield.
Part of that Battlefield essence is fun and entertainment - I sat there playing 2042 yawning - I kid you not, I almost fell asleep.
Just a boring time overall. Shame, I was really hoping for this game to get me off of Rainbow Six. Looks like I'll just have to endure the bullshit in Rainbow Six longer for my FPS fix... I don't have a choice now.
Maybe Insurgency Sandstorm. I'll find something. Shame.
