Sure but if you cut a bunch of stuff to make it free...

Not really, if anything it's the typical time line they always do. This time they just gave us a ton of fun extra content in portal and Hazard while they fine tune the main game. Same thing as BF3 and BF4 and BFV.

What’s going on with the canister shells in the tanks? Maybe I’m just stupid but not sure what their purpose is, they are even worthless against infantry. Hit market after hit marker but no kill. Maybe they are just bugged


Not sure, I haven't dove into leveling my tanks yet. Think I've only been in one a couple of times.

Had a badass 40 kill MVP game last night on 1942. That game feels so good still.

Yeah I tried for hours to get into this game, just not feeling it, I miss when Dice knew how to make maps that flowed well and had soul, this is just a running simulator with bad weapons, Battlefield 1 remains the last good BF.

Let’s see today with a buddy of mine we joined 3 straight Conquest matches on the snow map that didn’t work. One we got in but there were no enemies and the other two would not let us deploy at all.

This is happening to me on nearly every breakthrough game. I'm unable to deploy, has infinity symbols for both teams, and no objectives. Looks to be happening only when you're on the offensive team. The two games I was able to deploy was defending

Who the frick thought it would be good to remove continuous servers and make you find a new match every game?

Would love to play a map other than Manifest

It's a little annoying but not a big deal. Halo does it as well.

Had an awesome win on El Alamein last night down to 3 tickets. Was intense.

I’ve had more fun playing the Portal with BC2 and BF3.

For whatever reason those feel 10x better than 2042. I feel like there’s zero aim assist for console players.

I do not understand how these mega billion franchises like CoD and Battlefield are so shitty every single year.

It's literally the exact same mechanics year end and year out. All you have to do is spend the year designing quality maps for players to fight on.

Oh ya for sure, Portal is all I play mostly. They feel great and have very few issues and run better. Good fun.

I'd have paid for portal separate from 2042. Put 1/4 of the dev team on portal side of things and get them to remastering more maps. 2 each is gonna get stale fast until first content drop in January.

Is it on the BF4 portal? Is there a BF4 portal? Sorry haven’t used portal yet but I could see logically only putting it in one or the other not both

I think the launch maps were fan voted, or at least a couple were for sure.

Because it's basically just a money grab now. Has been for years now.

Vanguard has constant packet burst and the worst spawns I've ever seen on a COD. BF2042 is an absolute disaster of a release. I doubt it can even be salvaged.

Corporate greed forces these games out whether they're ready or not. As long as they're loaded with microtransactions is all they care about anymore.

You could put a rock or a dog turd in a box and label it Fifa or COD and it will still sell a million copies. People are stupid and buy the hype every year, these greedy fricks running EA and ATVI know it.

No one should ever pre order a game these days.

Because they've proven that they are real, bonafide, goddamn idiots. These people gave us one of the worst, dumbest, most tonedeaf and disastrous releases of all time. This thing really is an abortion and really should make all of us think about spending your money on shite like this in the future.

Gone are the days where these games from big AAA developers can be reliable. What we should be supporting now are smaller outfits...people that are making great games for PC's are now going to start moving into the console arena.

A game like Insurgency Sandstorm is hopefully going to be the pioneer that allows other developers to move into the console market with games like World War 3, Ground Branch, Zero Hour, and Six Days in Fallujah. These smaller teams have the ability to focus in on a niche and are finding out that their products will be consumed and enjoyed.

DICE did not learn anything. They should be stripped of Battlefield and EA should find someone else to take it on. This game is pure trash.
