I'm really enjoying bf still. Playing old gen to avoid pc players and team up with ps mates...I really like it. Anyone on here still playing? I'm keen to play more....I'm bang average mind.
I bought this game for my XBox X a couple of weeks ago and I'm enjoying it as much as I did BF3&4.
I haven’t played this since I got a refund and frankly was thinking I might see how it’s going and take another look. But this has put me off. I do miss battlefield but they haven’t made a battlefield game and doesn’t sound like the changes since I left have altered that fact.Tried this again yesterday in the hope I would sink a few hours into it.
For me the game is still a mess, menu is clunky and just not easy to use. UI is ugly also.
I turned Crossplay off in the hope to get a decent game and waited 10+ minutes for it to not find a game or sit in a lobby with just myself. Crossplay turned back on and it was me and maybe 4 or 4 other console players against a 60 player lobby on PC. That did not go well. Gameplay felt better than launch but the maps and overall play of the game just doesn't feel right at all.
It's amazing how wrong they got this with some really good games to build upon.
Turned it off and uninstalled again, so many better shooters to play instead.
I'm telling Phil on you!Back to splatoon 3 for me I guess….
Uncle Phil loves his switch so go ahead….I'm telling Phil on you!
Just told him, he said keep an eye out for a ban email. Said he didn't really like the switch, it's so underpowered its like an Atari.Uncle Phil loves his switch so go ahead….

I never got in to BF1 or V - I am not a fan of FPS set in WW1/WW2 - not for any political reason, just can't get on with them! People rave about both these games though so maybe I missed out!It's better than BF1 in my opinion but it's nowhere near as good as the older titles. The menu system is a mess and the UI is confusing. I don't see how they can mess up what was damn near perfect on the last gen on the new gen? I'd love if you could play Golmud again. That map was excellent.
I doubt it mate as I'm the same as you. Old weapons that have a lack of control etc. The one set during WWI drove me nuts with the voice talking about sector Apple etc. I've played them all including the bad company games and 3&4 were brilliant and I spent months playing those titles online. Never finished any of the single player story games though but that's what I loved so much about the Battlefield online conquest games, total chaos of noise and distraction. You might get a couple if kills in a row but if you killed a few more before getting plugged it was totally exhilarating. This game is very nearly as good as those old titles but something is missing. Maybe it's that I'm over 10 years older now and in my mid fifties and I find it a tad exhausting? But sometimes, every so often it's great again and I have a great time playing this new version.I never got in to BF1 or V - I am not a fan of FPS set in WW1/WW2 - not for any political reason, just can't get on with them!

There are so many aspects of the game that I didn’t like but primarily I hated the gameplay speed and which you died, map design and the abilities. Which is probably too much to overcome.
My favourite BF game is BF3. Followed by BF4, then 1942 then 2 then V. 1 is my least favourite but still way ahead of 2042.
I feel that we just saw a franchise lose its way probably as core staff left and new ones took directions to make it ‘more like cod’.
I still would like a BF fix of some sort. Halo has kept me busy. Splatoon is doing like wise but neither are the same thing as full on proper BF.
Yeah, but I mean it’s more that BF had something unique and overtime if you keep trying to make it more like any other game it loses the essence or what it had.I guess COD sells more so they tried to incorporate aspects of that franchise that rubs die hard BF fans up the wrong way
Finally.Now available on EA Play and GPU
Amen to 100% all of the above brother. Sums it up perfectly. Ill be too old for the next iteration and to be honest Im thankful. Disappointment after disappointmentYeah, but I mean it’s more that BF had something unique and overtime if you keep trying to make it more like any other game it loses the essence or what it had.
I’m absolutely not one of those who thinks games shouldn’t evolve. All those ‘no sprint in halo nutters’ are enough for anyone. Games should evolve and change. But you need to find a way to keep the essence of the game.
For me BF1 is where they started to lose their way. They took all their superb gun mechanics and limited every weapon to a specific range no matter the skill of the player. The took their open map design and started making it more like large corridor approaches like cod. They added in ridiculous amounts of grenades and gas that compressed the skill levels and just made it boring. They changed conquest so that once you were behind you always lost rather than the old games where comebacks were always possible. They added in the awful behemoths that didn’t change the result but just let the losing team rack up a load of no skill kills that completely destroyed the flow of the game. The vehicles spawning in as they did also took away from the game.
BFV restored the weapon mechanics back to where they should be and indeed better than they ever had been and went some way to fixing the map design. But vehicles were still not good and the organic feel whilst better still wasn’t where it had been.
But V had not enough content and huge problems with tone and presentation and this was due to their pressure to add micro-transactions in and make it more like a cod game.
2042 is just a mess or was when I last played it. I think they honestly need to start again from scratch. Almost with a new game. Call it something else. Define what a modern battlefield game should be and make it. A bit like they did with halo infinite (in terms of raw gameplay not content).
Initial impressions.Finally.
Been holding out for this since impressions were mostly rubbish.
Will find out for myself now
