Streamer Claims DICE Paid Over 60 Content Creators for Battlefield 2042 Feedback, Then Ignored It

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.

I want them to do a new bad company instead

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.

To be fair, I would not listen to content creators/influencers either.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

Look, I wouldn't pee on an influencer if they were on fire, but why pay for their feedback only to ignore it?

[Kornholic]

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

[badboyz09]

who would've thought🤷‍♀️

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.

like I said they are either stupid or too greedy to make a good game. Either none of them are creative enough to be in the entertainment business.

Lol wow gleaming self-importance there eh? They asked for FEEDBACK , not advice. Clearly someone a bunch of clown-shoes don't understand the difference. Words = meaning and stuff. You know?

Sorry, feedback does not mean action or seen results ant he contributors don't know what they did with it, not are they privy to know. Yet....the "creators" (a giraffe can edit and present video), made this call to attention as content (nice). - Yeah, that's pretty much why there would be drops in correspondence right there. 90% of these creators have to make about 4-5 videos back-peddling or correcting themselves on some topic, or have self-serving opinions. That's again, why there did not ask for advice you jack ballz. Jeez.
