I played for an hour and uninstalled. I have owned every battlefield up to now and I was very disappointed in the beta. It was boring and I didnt find it particularly engaging. I am not a fan of battle royal games whis is what this felt like.
The game was a complete mess. I cant believe i am going to say this but BF5 is a better game than 2042. I think Dice and EA spent 3 years brainstorming how to sell more skins and started working on the actual game 6 months ago. The Teal green color, bad UI , dumb bots, terrible knife takedowns, punching down the fences felt weird, SPECIALIST, no teamwork, BUGS, bad vehicle controls, Bad maps designs, bad frame rate, copy and paste looking buildings/structures, Terrible sound design and FX, removal of class system. The list goes on and on. The gunplay and movement was good, tornado was good but it overall didn't feel like battlefield and that is a problem.
True, but i feel a portion of that list will be fixed at launch, and the remainder fixed the first few months post launch. It's been way too long since BF4, i just need another modern BF, bug-fix period isn't ideal but i'll take it. I had fun playing with friends in the beta
Lol it's been really amusing seeing so many people who purport to be battlefield fans complain about teal color used in the UI, etc, unknowingly outing themselves as never having played BF3 or BF4. Same thing with all the complaints about how teammates and enemies are designated by orange or blue indicators above their heads.
A lot of quality of life things missing, an incomplete game, and I had a blast. The graphics are truly next gen, once they get everything fixed up. Ready to play more ASAP. Classes or Specialists, good with either but they need to show what your whole squad has selected so you know where to fill in the gaps for equipment. Nov 19th can't come soon enough
It would be really nice if they would just switch back to classes or even make the different loadout kits more binding on what you can and can't equip.
Felt like a pre-alpha rather than a beta, and if it is a late September build as the Tom Henderson's leak suggests, I don't see this game launching in November. Not without major bugs and netcode issues anyways.
I really needed this game to be at least half decent but the Beta didn’t impress me at all so I’m not going to pre order or pick up day one. Today I was told the beta isn’t from a months old build and was actually fairly recent, if this is true then I won’t be touching the game until it hits gamepass.
I enjoyed what I played. Some great new additions to the game. Looked next gen too. I too will purchase the game as I'm a long time battlefield fan. That said..... it's over complicated to play and use all of the new additions to the game. Up directional for a grenade? What happened to L2 where it's supposed to be (handy). For the life of me in the 20-30 games I played I have still not found how to use the grappling hook. I found really bad lag in every game too. That's not exaggerated on my end either, I found it in every game I played where the screen jumped around making kills very difficult with the game seeminglyhavingto catchup to what I was doing on-screen. I usually get low kills in a game, without laughing too loud 5/25 K/D, as I play battlefield very objectively with healing, repairing, supporting, capturing etc as my main objectives in battlefield as my reaction times are much slower now I'm 44yo. I think the highlighted areas when flicking through the map ready to spawn need to change too as I found it difficult to see who or what I was spawning on. Still enjoyed it though and looking forward to the release date.
It's safe to assume that the people shilling for 2042 have likely never been a Battlefield fan up until the 2042 beta. They have no idea why this game is such a disappointment to true BF fans who have come to know and love this franchise for years... those shills have come to love the first BF game they've probably ever played in a matter of days/hours.
Mark my words... this game will not set any records or exceed sales expectations. DICE/EA have been very bearish in investor calls when asked what they expected of sales. Even they aren't confident in their product, yet the BF noobies are out crusading in defense of this piss poor excuse for a BF game on DICE/EA's behalf.
