El Tigre Chino Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Played the free weekend on Xbox SX, thoughts below. Core gameplay is just broken, you have no idea what you are doing 99% of the time. The specialist systems is another layer of complications without any real payoff or reason for being there. The weapons and gadgets dont feel great. There's barely any incentive to play as a squad apart from adding spawn points. There's so much stuff going on but all of it is just meaningless bells and whistles to beautify a turd. Was initially going to really hype it up so that we could have a squad going in-game but after the first two or three matches I realised that I didn't want anyone to pay good money for this. That said, I tried one of the Bad Company 2 modes in Portal and what a real absolute beauty that is. No fluff, just pure squad gameplay. 4 of us going after objectives back to back. Flow of the game is super clean, map feels balanced to the point that you don't really feel lost away from the action, you don't have to try to figure you way around the best character build, guns feel punchier, destruction on point and just overall nostalgia trip. The gameplay is so much better. Just goes to show how much DICE & EA have lost the plot and how far off the mark they are from the BC2 days. Was tempted to pick the game up before the free weekend, will pick it up again for Portal when it eventually comes to Gamepass now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radicaldude Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Imagine this going f2p. Some paid $120 for this to get early access. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gecko89 Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Called this a month back.There's a good chance it'll go F2P, at least they'll earn some money through cosmetics. Meanwhile, considering reinstalling BFV, apparently it's pretty good now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacifier Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 When they announced MP only full price game. They should have delivered a fully working MP only game. They simply failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's alright, marginally better. I have some of the same problems with it as 2042. There's a lot going on and there too much of a meta for new players to jump in. I had a better time in it than 2042 though. Playing Bad Company 2 in portal made me realise how much better these games used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggr happy ss Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Its probably going free to play as per rumours . Ea is not happy with the performance of the game and probably realise they made a mistake charging for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent 47 Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 So, in that case they should refund everyone who paid for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent 47 Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Many have paid more than $100 for this. Press will have a field day if the game goes f2p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 They probably make x mode as F2P. Portal as F2P would be great for everyone as that is the only mode worth playing. DICE has been terrible so far. Zero communication and 0 effort. What's the point of live service without any service? Total mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) Says Battlefield 2042 did not meet expectations. Work from home proved to be challenging. Unanticipated performance issues that needed addressing Some design choices did not resonate with community. Still planning major updates Season One has been pushed back to early Summer 2022 so DICE can focus on resolving the game's current issues. EA said it has reduced its fiscal year forecast by $100 million due to the poor launch of Battlefield 2042. But says that Battlefield is 2042 is <10% of company's business. Other franchises doing well. Battlefield is no longer the flagship shooter in its portfolio. It's now firmly Apex Legends.

silv3rgunn3r Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) Sad to see the drastic decline of such a good series. Been buying battlefield games on day 1 since bfbc2. But after trying this one on EA play trial , it left such a bad taste bc. Didn’t even bother picking it up :/ No interest in playing battle royale games or COD. Tried siege,valorant etc but wasn’t to my liking Sigh my wait for a game something similar to the battlefield series goes on.

Sad to see the series fell off so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
