I don't see much stopping you from doing those things.
So this "robust squad play" has always been up to the user, the fucking game doesn't just do some jedi mind trick and force people to care about that.
You could have argued about being "immediately visible" on any BF with spotting, why not stop the series then? =)
So I agree the chat stuff needs to be patched, but its already happening and BF3 and many others didn't have that launch day, yet we lived...
Yea you going to need to be more specific then that, so much of what you are saying is so fucking broad and vague, its almost as if you want to just leave it up to feels "special" to define those games. You still need to quantify these things so we can even get to the bottom of what 2042 needs to be fixed.
The core concept is there.
Large scale map, vehicular combat, gadgets, capturing objectives, squad based and or team abilities lol I'm not saying the game doesn't need to be fixed or doesn't need updates to get to speed, simply that you need to relax on the exaggerating this "made the BF series special" and turning it into this whole emotional you are in a relationship with the fucking game, quantify what is being talked about. This feature allowed this, this move allowed this, this feature made this feasible etc You can barely even define that "formula". At the least start there. I like the series too man, I have thousands of hours in it, but leave that "love" or "emotion" or "special" shit at the door when just talking about what it needs to be fixed and corrected etc as it can just start to sound like I either loooooove BF3 too much or I looooove 2042 too much lol I need to be able to get the point across on what it does well and what it does poorly without some bias that I like or hate something to an odd degree or based on something that can't be measured.
As far as I can see, folks can capture points on large maps, they can revive, they can give out health, ammo, spot enemies, destroy vehicles, repair them etc This can be quantified ,we can factually state what is going on and at least debate its effectiveness vs "made the BF series special". I feel the same way about BF, but the things I enjoyed about those games, I can still enjoy about this one based on lots of feed back and footage. Until we get to a Star Fox Zero or Metal Gear Survive level of wtf is going on, I think 2042 isn't near as bad as a series can get and its core elements are intact. We are just not at a point where its not even the same genre like we've seen in many series to exaggerate pretending its not a BF, its simply not a BF you currently like....
What more specific? i was specific.
The 3/4 points is why u would buy battefield over cod / counterstrike or any other shooter back in the day. That's what divines battlefield. It's not that hard.
2042 offers exactly that. And it plays absolute wonderful ( probably not on lower end hardware tho ). Unlike a bunch of idiots on youtube try to brainwash people into believing.
Its like the angry joe show.
"hey guys i am angry joe, i play games on release day already for 20+ years, and i have no clue that a massive online multiplayer game that pushes boundaries is going to have lag on release day or server problems or even on pre-release day". lets pretend to be "shocked".
Then he rages on for 20 minutes about the game being to expensive. I bought the key for 40 bucks. U don't think its worth it? feel free to wait for half a year ( waited a year and bought bf1 for 10 bucks ) where u can get it for 20 bucks.
instead he rages that they sell the game for 110 bucks, and that its not worth it. Well no shit, did you read what they sold you for 110 bucks.
It's like somebody that paid 700 bucks for ac origin for a statue with there game, is not worth it because the statue doesn't do anything other then being a statue. ( yea no shit sherlock )
Then he rages about nobody should ever buy this 110 version its bad practice. Yet he buys it and he helps to support these practices without effort ????
Don't get me wrong, i was kinda bummed out buying the game before it released after watching his video, but after playing the first 2 days its nothing like they are trying push it. It's very much battlefield and it plays absolute fantastic. Sure performance could be higher, i agree with that. and things can be included that where always a thing in older battlefields but honestly most of the junk that 4/1/5 introduced can die in a fire in my view. And introductions of new elements is what makes it interesting to buy a new battlefield.
Don't get me wrong portal is nice, but everytime i play a game i feel like. i played this 10 years ago alraedy why am i played it again? because i could have booted up that game and play it right now still to this day. Its not why i buy 2042. Its the new shit i buy it for.
The same goes for that battlefield 2077 video. I played 25 hours of the game, probably 1/3 of that is on twitch in vods. U can watch it, everybody can. Go point out all those so called super bug flaws people are talking about? i took a 100 elevators, not a single one bugged out. Yet he fly's across the screen ( wait for it, he didn't actually he pulled the video from somebody else that probably bugged out in beta or early access "aka not final states" ) and pretends that this is how all of it works. Same for the hovercraft video that everyone reuses. Yet to see 1 single hovercraft ride on a flat upwards. Now can it be done? yes. can it be fixed? sure. Makes it battlefield completely unplayable experience? lol not even close, its not even relevant.
Misleading at its finest. but he made them 2 million views so that's what? 100k in the bank for him probably. Idiots are easy to exploit.
I agree with that reseteravip account guy. People are honestly having a absolute hate boner for the company however i can't blame them for it. Dice in my view are the most deplorable devs out there. They should have all be fired on the spot after bf5 when they tried to validate there sexisme and racisme as something progressive instead of deplorable. And they pay the price hard for it in BF5 and now in 2042 as all there bridges where burned with the community.
U can bet people don't forget about that shit. hell my friends didn't even bought the game which normally buy these games without effort as they grow up with it, reason? because its made by dice. Which in there view are racists and sexists because of there BF5 deplorable marketing tactics. Good luck trying to get them back paying money towards you. Hell i talked with my buddy when i was playing the game the other day and he basically stated the only moment he will give it a try again if dice was entirely replaced by another dev they wouldn't even install it even if it was free. He couldn't care to sponsor them ever again. And frankly i can see his point.
However i am not that hateful, i give people chances and frankly bf2042 is exactly what u expect out of it minus some features. The core gameplay is great, the maps will become classics its just a matter of time before people get used towards it like every battlefield. And all the other features people talk about are just minor fixes they could do in a big update later on and probably will.
Don't like it right now? refund, wait for 6 months come back and done. Don't want bugs or other problems? don't buy BF games day one ( or 4 days earlier then day one ), like how many bf's have released now? common.
The overly idiotic negativity this game is getting, is honestly just a backslash from triggered people because BF5 campaign or money whoring youtubers. Because nothing they say is in any way relevant towards the game i am playing ( besides missing features and general improvements of balances etc ). It sure as hell isn't a buggy mess. And i got 10 hours of vods people can scroll through to see how the game actually is.
But then again Dice digged there own grave in BF5 and honestly i am not sure if they can recover from it. All i see with overly negative score on steam = payback for bf5.
Anyway
highest yet
