It's well worth Checking out.

Ironic title because it's actually more battlefield than battlefield is right now. It has dedicated classes, a gameplay loop and mechanics that encourage teamwork, insanely better destruction, and gameplay that rewards experimentation and in turn makes for a lot of random cool moments aka battlefield moments that bf2042 lacks

Preach!

[shinoff2183]

Open beta sounds to much like online to me. Nah.

[OMGitzThatGuy]

A multiplayer game’s beta is online, shocker.

[shinoff2183]

I did fk my words up from what I was originally trying to say but to late for that edit button now.

That's the reason for the nah. Online games just take away from the single player games. So many games could've actually turned out pretty dope but they went with the multiplayer for the sake to nickel and dime. Could you imagine how dope that evil dead game could've been if it'd had been single player. So many games out there with wasted potential.

[OMGitzThatGuy]

So you use a game that was designed as a multiplayer game as a comparison? Sounds like you don’t want any multiplayer games at all, you can’t complain about the possibility of multiplayer taking from away from the single player and then ALSO wanting online games to be single player instead. Seems the only gamers with this mindset are PS gamers as that is all they are being given by Sony. Not everyone wants to play a game for 10-20 hours and move to the next game, and no one wants to play the same story over and over after experiencing it for the first time, they both have their place.

I can tell you're an older gamer like me cause I 100% get what you're trying to say 😅 basically you just miss single player experiences even in games designed for MP. Examples being games like Unreal Tournament, Battlefield series, especially Bad Company, just like all the things that make it fun but with a little direction, slightly linear.

I could definitely see like a basic sp objective based pve mode in this game being dope. But those days are gone unfortunately.

You may wanna log off now mate. What you just spouted is incredibly dumb.

[Asplundh]

Some of us enjoy multiplayer games, not every game needs to be single player only.

[Flenter]

The Finals is really fun. That's what is all about right ?

[monkey602]

I went in with low expectations and I'm really enjoying it

[badboyz09]

never was a dice fan I'll pass.

Suppose it depends how old you are. They were at one point the pinnacle of shooters. Console only gamers would never have had the chance to experience the original 2142 or battlefield 2. Maybe you got o play bad company 2 if you are old enough.

Anyhow, anything EA acquired went to shit eventually. Bioware used to be top of the RPG market. Now...what is bioware even.

[slate91]

Bf2 and Bf2142, ah a man of culture I see

[Binarycode]

Maybe give it a go. I think you'll see it has a lot to offer. It's free. Teamplay is a must, Chaos, damage everywhere. Tons of fun.

[ModsDoBetter]

Itsnactually pretty good, even if it's difficult to find a game with crossplay off.

Graphically really impressive too for the type of game it is.

They went full Fortnite.
