I hope they just make Portal into a standalone game with period specific UI (not the flashy green UI for 1942, for example).

Looking at the actual 2042 gameplay, the game looks incredibly bland and empty. And it still manages to run like shit. What has DICE been doing for the past few years?

 

[fatmarco]

Can anyone explain how you add scopes to your weapon in the Bad Company 2 mode/ Portal mode in general?

I managed to cheat it in the BF3 mode where I had to reorder the weapon mods so that a scope was the first option, but that surely that can't be how you actually change attachments lol?

 

[ManaByte]

For me personally if it would have more modes like TDM on a smaller scale with no vehicles

But that’s not Battlefield. That’s Call of Duty.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

But that’s not Battlefield. That’s Call of Duty.

True I just like the option to play without vehicles at times

 

[Boss Mog]

But that’s not Battlefield. That’s Call of Duty.

BF4 TDM was amazing, better than CoD, until they killed verticality that is. I didn't play sniper in BF4 Conquest because I play the objective but I enjoyed playing sniper in BF4 TDM,(until they killed verticality) Only Flood Zone was viable as a sniper after that. I remember having epic sniper battles on Zavod rooftops before the nerf.

Reading this, I feel like I'm playing a different game. I've had little to no issues on PS5. A few minor things, but all and all its been pretty smooth for an online games launch.

The biggest things would be minor graphic glitches upon loading the map and (rarely) unable to exit a transport helicopter unless I switch seats first.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Hovercraft need removed until they balance those things.

 

[Concern]

Hovercraft need removed until they balance those things.

What in the fuck? Lmao

How did they manage to do that? I barely played 2042 so didn't come across many hovercrafts.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Just found this funny



And have seen this a lot

 

[Klik]

It feels like some Chinese wannabe Battlefield game that tries to be like Apex Legends and COD in one. So disappointed and i've been playing since BF2

 

[Slicker than your average]

Tried the trial thing and it looks very last gen. Put me in a game full of bots too.

what does that even mean people? i read this shit all the time.

"i played this game since jesus was alive back in the year 0"

so what? does this value your opinion more or what is it?

I've been playing since the BF1942 Wake Island demo and I've been loving this.

 

[eastcoastkody]

2042 feels like someone modded Ghost Recon breakpoint into a battlefield clone

And forgot to Make it look next-gen (even a little bit)

 

[TheMan]

Sad to see that player WOM has been shite. I’ve been waiting for this one. COD just doesn’t scratch the itch that well. Not much else coming out I’m really excited for in the near term

 

[Banjo64]

The skeleton of a good game is here but it’s going to take 6 months of patches until it’s something good in my opinion. Thank god I’ve got this 10 hour trial and didn’t spend the £62 on it.

 

[R6Rider]

Yup addicted to it. Just unlocked C5 and am popping tanks like jelly filled piñatas.

They work wonders to deal with the hovercrafts as well. The drivers love to run people over, giving you the perfect opportunity.

Sundance's wingsuit and C5 is a deadly tank killer combo.

 

[nani17]

i didn't think it could be worse then BFV but somehow it is

 

[Boss Mog]

People wanted EA to just make a sequel to the console Bad Company 2 instead of making a traditional Battlefield game like this.

Not true, I just want a next gen BF4 and this isn't it. The maps are terrible, 128 players feels pointless, not enough vehicles which leads to way too much time running to objectives and getting sniped while running, specialists are terrible , I always feel like i'm missing something that would be useful. Every fucking map on BF4 was memorable, this includes all the expansion maps. There was always tons of intense action which I pretty much never get in BF2042. To me a real battlefield game needs to have intense gameplay with tons of vehicles like this:

 

[R6Rider]

The game puts you in a match vs bots at the start to learn the basics.

 

[Phase]

Should be an option. I don't ever want to play with bots in online MP.

 

[Pakoe]

This is the most trashiest BF game so far. Atleast Hardline, 1 & 5 were fun to play (somewhat). This is straight up trash.
DICE has lost its magic.

I hope Portal will get updates so we can at least relive BF3 with new graphics or else this game is finished and so is DICE.

 

[GreatnessRD]

I wish we, the consumers would stop pre-ordering and supporting these bullshit games. This has been a SHITTY week for gamers. Well, outside of Forza, but wow, what a shit show.

 

[Dibils2k]

there is something weird about this game, i just suck at it, cant kill anything thats not standing still and not looking at me lol

i am on console, i literally went back to bf4 and thats fine, i guess the aim assist is just alot less helpful but its just not fun atm

servers though need some proper improvement before full launch, so much rubber band and jittering

It's basically a tutorial and you could probably quit out, but I didn't try.

Again, people complaining about the most minor things. Same people skipping it would be the same people asking dumb questions that the game tells you about.

 

[Neofire]

I love the game but Dice needs to do someone about a hovercraft taking three rockets like it's all good. Helicopter's too. Starting to turn into Vehiclefield 2042.

 

[Hestar69]

i found the TTK in the Bad Company 2 Rush featured mode to be pretty much the same as Bad Company 2 is supposed to be. And in the Create ur own portal server options...there are options for TTK, damage, aim assist and all types of other stuff.

I played bc2 after 2042 and the guns felt better? I dunno,it felt like I could actually kill people in the real bc2 and not portal with the same amount of shots.

Bad Company 2 had weapon bloom.

Does it? I've never noticed it in bc2

Yeah, the AI bots are insanely OP. Bullet sponges that know where you are AT ALL TIMES.

Human players seem to be sponges too.. I'm pretty decent at BF games,and I dunno. Maybe It's the servers or something I am rubber banding alot (NOT as bad as BF4 launch tho)

 

[Hestar69]

I've been playing since the BF1942 Wake Island demo and I've been loving this.

I hope they add wake island to portal sometime I love that map!

 

[Croatoan]

breakthrough is amazing. Feels like a fucking war. Game has balance issues and some other problems but is fun. Great start cant wait to see where it is in a year.

 

[Boss Mog]

Kinda crazy that there's absolutely no firing range to try out all the vehicles and weapons. i spent a good deal of time there in BF4 learning how to pilot helicopter which is always complicated in BF games for some reason compared to other games. Maybe it's so you're not too OP but a helicopter is quickly taken down. In BF2042 piloting helicopters is completely different and much harder than in BF4,, at least without being able to practice, maybe you can change how to control them in the settings though, I didn't check.

God all I can think about now is Naval Strike and how good it was. Carrier Assault was incredible. Man if only it still had good populated servers up and running and wasn't limited to 720p (SeriesX) or 900p (PS5) I'd go back.




Look at those comments, people know how good this was.

Assault Rifles? If so, there's a bug apparently. ARs have more spread than intended.
I was having the same issue until I switched to SMGs and now I can actually get kills.

I'm not sure if aim assist is working properly.

 

[Piggoro]

Can anyone explain how you add scopes to your weapon in the Bad Company 2 mode/ Portal mode in general?

I managed to cheat it in the BF3 mode where I had to reorder the weapon mods so that a scope was the first option, but that surely that can't be how you actually change attachments lol?

I also had problem with it. Found out a solution on Reddit. You have to go to the weapon editing screen and replace the attachment closest to the gun (regular iron sight) with the scope. There has to be a button saying "replace" or something.

You can create a private match with bots to practice piloting. You can also unlock stuff while playing against bots.

I'm guessing I would still be subjected to stupid time lockouts on vehicles though no?

Yes, you would. But it's not a big issue. Bots aren't very good against aircraft. You can fly to your heart's content.

 

[Insane Metal]

Hmmmm...

 

[Sybrix]

You are so right

The game feels like a cheap F2P Chinese fps

It remindes me a lot of Planetside

 

[Phase]

Hmmmm...

 

[Shmunter]

Lots of YouTube personalities shilling the crap out of this.

Member when Dice with Frostbite used to redefine gfx benchmarks? Seems those days are over with cross platform /crossplay ‘reach as big a user base as possible’.

 

[Solarstrike]

Hmmmm...

Dice sucks.

 

[ultrazilla]

EA/Dice have once again released a buggy, UNFINISHED game.

It's a massive pile of shit.

Even playing everything maxed on PC and getting 100fps+, it looks like crap. Battlefield 1 and 5 look much, much nicer.
They hyped "next gen" but let's face it, the 128 player limit is what's killing the so called "next gen" look of the game.

Who at Dice thought it was a good idea to add the fucking gun check animation at spawn? Enemy soldiers camping the spawn points just pick you off and you
can't even get off a shot because you're stuck in the mandatory animation.

Everything with the UI is a damn mess.
You get killed and fall through the map.
There's weird graphical glitches.
There are *many* options that don't seem to work for example ray traced ambient occlusion is absolutely fucked.
I unloaded my tank machine gun on an enemy soldier and I saw the enemy damage heads up go off but he still ran away(should have been killed).
The AA missile doesn't lock 99% of the time when a plane or copter is flying right in front of you.

This game was once again clearly rushed to market when it easily could have been delayed a year. Uninstalling it from my SSD until Dice/EA decide to patch it(haven't read or heard
anything regarding this either).

 

[Thedtrain]

Somethings bugged with the parachutes. I am able to hit people parachuting with a tank shell if I’m even close.

 

[Doom85]

"i played this game since jesus was alive back in the year 0"

so what? does this value your opinion more or what is it?

LOL, now I want someday to see someone unironically say basically, “this 2nd game in the series really dropped the ball, and I’ve been playing this series since the first game came out three years ago.”

 

[KyoZz]

People wanted EA to just make a sequel to the console Bad Company 2 instead of making a traditional Battlefield game like this.

Like having a wallhack in the game? Popping tanks like jelly filled piñatas as you said?
Operators instead of simple but defined classes? A lore that is so bad, horribly implemented and make no sense that no one cares?

This is your idea of a PC Battlefield?

 

[Jibran#one]

Had like 6 hours remaining of my trial on series x , sat last night to play couldnt login always had an error some persistant data bullshit and wouldn't let me in .
Played forza for 3 4 hours checked back and still wouldn't let me in
As much as I love battlefield wouldn't touch this dumpster fire on launch

 

[ResetEraVetVIP]

But that’s not Battlefield. That’s Call of Duty.

Exactly lol.
