i cannot stand UltimateHog as a poster on the GB. But…..he’s not wrong.

2042 has made great strides the last 2 patches and it’s pretty enjoyable right now. I have no problem finding full lobbies and I enjoy the content they’ve recently released.

So did they completely axe Domination from the playlists or did I miss it?

The specialists are still there. The bones for this game are still terrible. It plays better for sure but if you want a Battlefield game this ain’t it.

You can buy the ps5 version on ebay for 10 bucks right now. I played a few hours and never went back.


It's free on ps+



It's just not fun. Crossplay is also a huge bummer

Yeah they rolled the specialists into the class system they brought back.

“The return to the Class system will shake up how you are used to playing Battlefield 2042, from Gadgets and Equipment now being attached to the Class of your particular choosing, to how you’re approaching the role of that Class as you play throughout your matches.”

You said they got rid of specialists. I was pointing out that they’re still there.

I didn't reply to you. And saying they still exist is like saying characters still exist, yes you have to play as a person.

Class system replaced specialist system is still a fact.


And ftr I don't think I've heard anyone really complaining about the new class system.

i can’t tell if this is a joke, because i’m historically a CoD player or if this is a serious inquiry because there was previously a Domination playlist in BF2042.

There hasn’t been a domination playlist the last month to 6 weeks that I’ve been playing. Right now it’s just: Conquest, Breakthrough, Rush, and TDM.

I don't ever play with anyone so the big scale Conquest games are never really appealing. My go to games with BF3 and on were Domination and TDM, Squad DM if I could find a game.



So yeah, serious question



ETA reading your post again, there was a Domination playlist with all the previous BF games, same idea has the COD version, it was typically on the TDM version of the map, no vehicles.

ohhh

yeah, i haven’t seen or noticed a Domination playlist. I too don’t usually get into Conquest for the same reasons and generally stick to Rush or Breakthrough, which is almost the same thing as Rush but you have to own both sites at once to capture a sector and move to the next. Every once in a while i’ll get the itch to play with the expanded vehicle options you only get in Conquest and load into a match.

My only issues right now with the game are 2 things:
1) The guns shoot straight lasers, no recoil or accuracy drop off. An example of this, is the fact that a sniper can get the first shot on me and i usually can turn, find them, and laser them with an assault rifle before they can get off the 2nd shot to kill me.
2) Passenger vehicles are too overpowered, specifically passenger aircraft. Folks camp those and if the pilot is even remotely decent or has a repair guy, they’ll stay up the entire match.

frick battlefield. 2042 killed the series forever.


Some of you gamers can be so damn dramatic, holy shite. I see why people say that gamers are the most difficult customer base to keep happy


I don’t understand your logic. Just because one of their games wasn’t just like you wanted it, that means the rest of the titles after that are going to be the same thing?



I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend.





FWIW I made this post before reading all your drivel on page 2. Holy shite bro, get some help

Wasn't it V? The one where people lost their mind over the women, black people, face paint, and the prosthetic arm?

I played the beta and it didn't grab me at all. Don't care for the setting and weapons. That's not a commentary on the war itself.


I definitely changed my time with this game. 1 wasn't my favorite, but I finally got the feel for it and had a lot of fun.

Someone is mad 2042 made a big comeback

That's my biggest problem with recently DICE games. Why does it always have to make a comeback? Why can't it be good from the start? BF1 was probably the only Battlefield title in the last 15 years that wasn't a total train wreck at launch. Didn't even include the Battlefront games, but those were bad at launch too. Horrible bugs, horrible net code.

I still enjoy it.

I actually prefer it over Call of Mayo.
