Nah man, aiming left and right is a legacy feature and is toxic to new playersThats because you are playing the new mode they secretly added.
Tunnel Vision Mode.

I would had played BF1 a lot more as I like WWII. When it worked, the core game was solid even though I know its a pisser to play BF games due to tons of snipers.
I don't know if they improved it vs. launch but my buddies and I bailed fast as we kept getting game crashes and kept getting issues partying up. It would take some us rebooting and sending party invites over and over again until it worked. The UI was terrible too.

The game is solid on PS5, I think I hadn't been getting too many crashes even before BF5 came out. There are still active servers, and I consider Operations in BF1 the best game mode I played in a BF game - destroys BF5, and I don't know if I want to try BF2042.

In other words there's no option for cross play with input based matchmaking is there? Either we play against PC's m+k or we don't get crossplay at all. Doesn't anyone see the bs here? We either get wrecked by m+k or have to deal with longer matchmaking and less lobbies.
They are catering to PC with the notion that console players won't notice or care. The correct way to do cross play would, when you log in you are presented with the option of who you want to play with. Select either: 1. Full cross play where everyones together no matter if it's controller or m+k. OR. 2. Input based crossplay.
It should be so simple. The problem is when you start up bf 2042 you are already in the default choice number one- full crossplay. PC/console/mouse and keyboard/controller together.
They have to know that by having that as the default they are favoring that cross play set up for the majority of players. It's like starting a soccer game with one team up 2-0. People who just want the fairest input based matches are at a disadvantage in terms of having less people to play with.
Halo Infinite doing the same thing. I guess greater population = better retention and more microtransactions sold. Problem is now you've put controller users at a disadvantage. Especially in a game like BF where m+k is vastly superior to controller.
This is to me as bad as the Star Wars:Battlefront 2 pay to win situation.

There is definitely something wrong with gunplay. Why can I hit a guy with 3 bursts and he turns and I feel 2 hits max and I'm dead .
No indication that its a headshot either .

Not once did I fully defend this game. I have stated my experience with the game and called out several bullshit arguments that users probably copied from reading reddit. I've clearly stated multiple times there are issues with it, and that PS5 version plays great performance wise.
Maybe get back to me once you learn how to read and get just a little bit of reading comprehension.

They neutered the 30mm canon that the M5C and jeep hard. I'll farm for that 50mm cannon then.

The 30mm was pretty OP honestly, especially on the Bolte.

There are a lot of miserable people who literally come to this site, and the internet in general, to just find new things to complain and bitch about.
I agree with you though, under all the issues there's a great game here. Its definitely feels more in line with BF4, than BF1 and BFV.

Well how many people here brought up the new 'unable to load persistence data' issue here? This issue literally prevents you from playing the game.
It's obvious most people are really just looking to dog pile on the game or fight with each other, and not actually provide real criticism or real discussion. That's why it's easy to see that this game is clearly being review bombed. That doesn't mean the game isn't broken, cause it clearly needs work. It's just that people these days need to be told how to think and feel towards things, and that's exactly what's going on.

Super skeptical about this. They've made tons questionable decisions with Apex Legends over the seasons that have rubbed the community the wrong way.

Whats bad is they knew this was coming they just forced it out the door as is
They didn't listen to any of the feedback from beta so many people told them this wasn't ready

You could see the game was in trouble as they delayed it once already, even forcing themselves to release after COD which is a no-no for EA. BF games always release first to get the shooter crowd. And no way they'd delay again and miss Xmas sales.
Just imagine how much worse it'd be if they released it as per original release date.
So much for the beta. Another game releasing "a beta", when it's really a demo of the final game.

They should have released this as a longer beta for christmas. And final release for start of next year. You dont get to release an unfinished product and then say its review bombed when its not actually working and is missing actual features. This isnt a DayZ or same alpha game.

Absolutely. The game needed at least 6 more months in the oven.
But my concern here is, this guy can't even keep the Apex Legends community happy, so how is he really going to help the BF franchise?
I feel like there's a lot of good will attached to his name due to Respawn's success, and this is just a cheap way by EA to signal to the masses that positive changes are coming to BF2042. They're just trying to shift the narrative from BF2042 being this huge disaster, to a potential Cinderalla story in the workings. And if we're being honest, the narrative matters more to people than the actual game itself. Most people love Respawn, but don't know the reality of how they treat their live service games.

No it's not my first lol.
I know it happens and has done forever, but not to this extent and my friends are saying the same . There are just too many instances when we should have won a gunfight easily and don't for it to be purely down to lag compo.
Hopefully it gets addressed, we will see .

multiple things can be true at once. you can release an unfinished / broken game and it receives a completely justified backlash from buyers, and it can also be review bombed by people who haven't played the game but are just looking to hop on the bandwagon.
like someone else pointed out here, they're moaning and groaning over the Santa skin being paid DLC in the other BF thread. If you actually own the game, then you would know this is a free challenge-based unlock. still a stupid skin though.
I agree though and think the game should've came out next holiday season, but we would've still had the lack of content issue, regardless of when the game dropped, due to the live service nature of the game.

So there's a chance Santa Boris might be only for use in Portal like a "Kill Santa" Game?

That's the impression I'm getting. Once again DICE clearly fucked up from the start but also I can't imagine having to spend time trying to put out the flames from all these raging nerds online before they have all the facts, people react before they even process information anymore or wait for it to be confirmed in any way.

People are actually delusional enough to think that this is not a backtrack after 'sense of pride and accomplishment' levels of backlash??
It was 100% intended as a standard unlockable skin.

ok, but didn't BF1 also have a bunch of skins and shit?
StreetsofBeige
yea BF1 isn't a bad title, I simply didn't care for the weird TTK that felt very bullet spongey
Buhaj
lolz, no it doesn't man lol They are both great games btw, simply relax on the whole hot take hyperbole thing. 
JoeBudden
Agreed. This very much seems like a sequel to BF4 in many, many ways. The gadgets, the semi future, even the whole 2042 as in 4-2 seems like its suppose to be a BF4-2 type thing which makes sense with how a lot of the flow is in the game conceptually.

Many “Whelps”! Handle It!
This was really bad at BF1's launch. I ended up resorting to immediately checking the scoreboard, and if too many players on the opposing team had high latency I just dipped. Improved the experience immeasurably.
Remember, even in the midst of utter failure executives always believe they're right. So, they are probably saying to themselves "Our vision works, players love it! We just didn't quite get it right. So let's double down on it with some fresh leadership...". Which means they're going to go all in with the specialists, and the tone is about to get even cringier. That's my guess anyways.

Well we don't really know that, I'd argue in the past EA has listened to lots of feedback.
BF4 rushed to launch with new systems and had server issues,
BF hardline delayed
BF 2042 skipped new systems.
Battlefront 1 had tons of DLC, Battlefront 2 had free DLC, same with Titanfall 2
So they have a history of listening to that feed back and some other title adjusting to something that was done prior, which is why after BF4, we never really had that same type of server issue where you couldn't get into a game, we had issues, but nothing like BF4 though, regardless..I believe they will simply make Specialist optional and simply add on the class stuff like you see in BFV as that actually already exist in 2042 in Portal, it would simply be a update to make that the default in the whole game. Locking abilities to them would be a breeze tbh
I also believe you'll see them make the 75 weapons all available in 2042's base modes.

From bugs to hovercrafts to a toxic player base, Battlefield 2042’s launch has been different from the version I played for review.

People were climbing walls with hovercraft during those preview events but they weren't allowed to talk about it.
They clearly knew the state of the game but decided to give it 5/5 anyway.
