In a week that's stacked with exciting updates and betas for shooters, the only one that I want to play is Battlefield 2042. It's the second time I've returned to the least-liked Battlefield in history, except this time I'm having as much fun as the glory days of Battlefield 3 and 4.

I'm not the only one either: the vibes are shockingly good in the world of Battlefield. Where there used to be an endless feed of complaints, demands, and general outrage on the Battlefield 2042 subreddit there are now funny match highlights(opens in new tab), rational balancing suggestions(opens in new tab), and this Sundance player doing absolutely impossible things(opens in new tab) with throwing knives. In other words: it's a normal videogame community.

Spot on.

You still a baby back crying lil bitch? How old are you? Surely not over 15.

Then act like it.

You deserve it. Like I said, act like it.

To put the resurgence into perspective.

This game had 1,945 players on Steam not long ago. Actually dead.

The last 2 months alone have seen a 57% increase in player base and now sits at 25,000 on steam alone. Less than 2K players to 25K in a month.

And it's getting routinely praised online, which of course helps bring players back in.

Once again, it took awhile, but BF became pretty good again. And like usual, most BF fans return when it gets to that point no matter how bad the launch was. Them's the real Battlefield OG's.
