Duuro says: "So should you get Battlefield 2042 right now? Unfortunately, I don’t have a simple answer for you at this exact moment. Conquest is a lot of fun once you adapt your playstyle. Hazard Zone can be either a hit or a miss, it depends on what you want out of the mode and Portal is absolutely special. But the game still has a lot of problems..."
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.
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.
Battlefield 2042's Season 7 patch has not only brought in new content, but also Battle Pass progression bugs and Haven map freezing issues.
This will be a great game one day if they keep patching it, but it is far from that today.
All Battlefield games had a lot of bugs at launch, some more some less. This I already expected no news here. What I didn't expect is to pay for a new game that added so little to the multiplayer part and still removed the single player. Nothing convinces me that this game is worth much less than it is charged.
