Are you having Battlefield 2042 hit registeration issues? DICE is aware of this, and has a planned fix to roll out in "early December."
Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson stated in a recent EA Earnings Call, that the next Battlefield "it is going to be another tremendous live service.”
Another? ANOTHER?
Is he honestly trying to make out like the last Battlefield was a huge success, not just as a game but as a live service game? I'm sure these guys live in their own echo chambers, they are so far removed from reality or they just like talking out of their arse trying to rewrite history.
Also why say such a tone deaf statement when you know the state of live service games at the minute and how many gamers feel about them. Bigging up the next BF game as live service does not give me any excitement or hype.
This is nothing too new

They had plans of a universe of live service games
Also these studios made 2042 there is no new massive team its the same team

Well same team minus the seattle boys that were canned

This is all again same news different year but it seems very few remember what happened before covid.
At least they put car freshner trees up their asses to think smelling their own farts smells good at this point to be so out of touch.
EA:
While we’ve enjoyed and are proud of creating these seasons of additional content for Battlefield 2042, it is now necessary for us to turn from the present to the future. What this ultimately means is that Season 7 will serve as the final season for Battlefield 2042. After Season 7 concludes, we will continue to support the game with new in-game challenges, events, modes, and of course, ongoing maintenance, but we are moving away from delivering official seasons.
Streamer Shroud says that DICE paid 60 to a hundred content creators to help develop Battlefield 2042, but ignored every single advice.
No wonder the game ended up the way it did
What they should've done was ask BF fans. Most general content creators typically go for the trend and the top creators stream games like LOL, fortnite, dota, gtaV, battle royale etc.
A lot of times people want a game to be something else and I'd probably guess a lot of people wanted call of duty or a lot of it's features.
Bf2042 is amazing now but was not so much at launch. A lot of improvements made the game an amazing game with its own identity. I'm hoping the new battlefield game coming next year improves upon everything in bf2042 and is more akin to bf3 and bf4.
A ton of people have written the game off now. Which is unfortunate because I find it to be one of the best multiplayer shooters available now. I've been aware that a Battlefield game has not launched in a good condition since....I don't remember. So I never played at launch due to the horror stories, but it seems to have pulled a Battlefield 4 and really turned itself around. Good stuff. Love getting 4 kills on an apc with a well placed RPG, or Stinger to a loaded chopper lol. No other game has given me that kind of joy. lol.
Look, I wouldn't pee on an influencer if they were on fire, but why pay for their feedback only to ignore it?
I don't know. Maybe they thought it was a good idea at first but eventually found out that it was best to ignore influencers' opinions?
I’ll give some advice and take money for it. You can use it or not use it just make sure to pay me
Battlefield fans just want Battlefield to be Battlefield. Which means a focus on Conquest-mode (5/6 flags), some gorgeous and fun maps to play on, 4 balanced classes, and that's it.
The suits keep wanting to turn Battlefield into everything else BUT Battlefield, so first they wanted BF to be more like Call of Duty, so they copied a bunch of stuff from CoD. Then they wanted to take advantage of the Battle Royale stuff, so they went after that crowd. Then they saw the heroes stuff in Overwatch and so they brought in specialists. Etc.
Guys, we just want Battlefield. Not every games has to be everything to all people. Specialize in what makes (made) your series great, which is large(r) maps (appropriate size for the amount of players, which IMO should be 24-32 max, so not just big for bragging brights), integrating vehicle-combat, and just allowing the freedom and flow which made those matches in older Battlefield games so special at times.
Why can’t a game that’s been in development for years just actually work/run properly?? Remember cartridges?, those were polished up before release because they were a physical property, so it better work!!! Nowadays …”meh, whatever we made so much $$$ on preorders!, fuck this game anyways on to the next half assed effort let’s gooooooo
This game is a dam mess. Dice is dead to me after this release.
Feel bad for people who bought this. When Dice said they didn't even understand why people loved Bad Company 2 back in 2014, I had a bad feeling this franchise was going to decline in quality.
That being said, I don't think they even had enough time to make this. 2 years max of proper development on this version of the game. They were releasing DLC for BF5 last year and we know that they wasted a lot of their development trying to make a Battle Royale game.
These publishers need to stop pushing games out the door so they make can money in a particular financial year. The GTA Trilogy, Cyberpunk 2077, BF 2042 and to some extent COD: Vanguard (the zombies mode launched unfinished). It's ridiculous. Halo Infinite, while good, is missing loads of features at launch as well.
I'm glad I got this game bundled with a nvme I got on sale, because I feel completely gutted by the garbage 2042 ended up being at launch, and propably will be for a long while lol.
I cancelled the game after the shit beta, no doubts and questions asked. Pure trash.
It's not often I use the expression "hate". But I feel comfortable saying that I actually hate this game. It's a terrible BF game for sure. It's not even a good game imho.
BFV was a pure gem at launch compared to this pile of shit.
BFV: Fool me once, shame on you
2042: Fool me twice, shame on me
Anyone who didnt see this coming is blind. BFV had some serious hurdles to overcome but no one can argue that the game was more feature complete than 2042 at launch; Which is saying something in retrospect because it was missing a good deal compared to BF1. Think I’m blowing smoke? 2042 doesnt even have a scoreboard… think about that. How did such a basic feature as a scoreboard not make the cut? Crouch running, reviving squadmates, high wall vaulting… it literally goes on. But lets start with a scoreboard eh?
Dice is the only developer in recent memory that actively takes steps backwards instead of building onto what they have already created.
They will get it to a point where it “works” and then abandon it like they did with BFV, promising the next one will be everything we ever wanted. Then everyone will forget about it as the hype machine starts stirring around it a year or so later.
