Battlefield 2042

[Dead Cat Bounce]

The trailer for the latest entry in the Battlefield series has just been released and as expected it's based in the near future. It looks like an updated version of BF4 which for me is a very good thing.

Gameplay footage will be release on the 13th of this month.

Now I just need to get hold of a next gen console before it's released later on in the year.

I haven't done online gaming since Bf2, but I might just start again for this.

 

[Dandred]

Bugger, just pre-ordered this.

Posted this on the IDLES thread but needs to be here as well.

I used to enjoy Battlefield 2142.

How does all that work though, it is only for server owners to choose and change or can anyone with a PC/PS5 set up their own server?

I want to preorder this for PS4 but I don’t know where the best place to order from is….. I want a physical copy for my PS4

Any one else playing the 2042 open beta release?

Playing on the PS4 and it feels like a return to 'proper' Battlefield.

Still need to get a PS5 at some point.

 

[spitfire]

Yes. Was gifted a pre order by my mate for my birthday.

It’s good. My first three kills were by running people over in my quad bike.

Still a bit buggy but I know what you mean. Having said that BFV has been my mainstay for ages now. I love it.

Me, I've been playing it this evening. Still buggy, but still battlefield (I've been playing COD and don't really like it, I play it because all my friends do an its free).

 

[Dandred]

I keep getting killed, can't get the mic working.

Seems like my ping is really high but can't work out how to check what it is.

It is loads of fun though

Footage of the 'Portal' mode was released yesterday and it looks awesome, customisable games modes on some of the classic BF maps.

I've also managed to get hold of a PS5 via my brothers work colleague so I can't wait to play a BF game with 128 players.

Had this for a week and half of the time I can't work out if some of the features are bugs or just designed so badly.

The UI looks like it was designed by a drugged horse, want to change a gun during a round? Click this button, then that one, R1 then left arrow key and then a few more buttons.

I'll check back in six months but this isn't what I expected

Back to COD Modern Warfare 2019 I go.

Yup. The aiming of big guns and the like is awful. I can't hit anything with the WW2 tanks, (not been able to snag a modern one yet), and the minguns may as well be shower heads.

I did enjoy surfing the tornado in a wingsuit though.

Needs a lot of work.

Awful, awful game. Terrible maps, hardly any decent game modes, hardly any weapons and very limited number of attachments. Runs like an absolute dog on my PC, which is well within the min spec requirements.

Thankfully, I didn't pay for it. Just used the free 10 hours from game pass. Got around 7 hours left and intend to try it again after every update to see if it improves but I'm definitely not paying any money until a LOT of things are fixed.

 

[spitfire]

Back to BFV for me I reckon.

Anti aircraft specialist. * salutes *

 

[sim667]

I’ve been really enjoying it. Yeah it’s got a few problems but a very playable game

 

[Dandred]

No voice chat is a killer.

 

[mwgdrwg]

Tried this for a bit, oof...so bad. Straight back to Halo.

 

[Dandred]

This is actually loads of fun, wish I could make and choose squads.

 

[sim667]

Is anyone else playing on PS4? I need people to squad up with

I've seen the shit storm around this game and was thinking that it would be all down to angry children with nothing better to say. Now I know.

This really made me laugh. Like proper. Best review I've seen in forever.

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Is anyone still playing this pile of crap?

I thought I'd give it another go today but none of the servers are even populated (Not that you can chose a server) ,DICE/EA really screwed up on this one.

Downloaded BF1 on my PS5 and oh my, it was like a breath of fresh air; full servers, atmospheric maps, amazing soundtrack and a great gaming experience.

I've still not used my free ten hours from GamePass. It's really bad and everyone has stopped playing it. I've put more hours into BFV recently than on this pile of crap.

Nope. After the news came the new big update was moved to the summer I thought fuck this and deleted it. Might take a look in July/August to see if they’ve changed anything…

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

The latest update was released today, I downloaded it and thought I would give it a go.

It's a step in the right direction and almost feels like a Battlefield game. DICE have still got a lot to do to get it back on track but I don't think the long term prospects for this release are good.

Also, the lack of content is worrying, one map per season? Back in the day (Yes, old man shouts at clouds) we had four maps and a load of new guns per DLC.

And from the single game that I played they've disabled the annoying end of round 'quips' from the Operators. Good, that was so annoying.

Fingers crossed.

OK will have another look, thanks DCB.
