The Battlefield 2042 beta has come and gone. Here’s GotGame’s impressions for the beta.
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.
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.
Terrible!
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.
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
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.
