Anyone know how this is on Ps4 Pro?

I've not tried it on the PS4 Pro but the lack of new maps and a server browser has stopped me from playing it on the PS5, not that I was playing it much - maybe one game a week.
Season two was released last week, I might go back and see what it's like.
Most of the developers who worked on the older / classic BattleField games (BC2/BF3/BF4/BF1) have left DICE/EA. From what I've read the Frostbight engine is pain to work with so it's going to take a while for the new developement team to get up to speed with it. Maybe they should switch to the Unity engine which I'm slowly trying to learn.

that doesn't sound very encouraging. Perhaps I will pass.

I've just finished my first game of BF2042 in around two months, it's way better than it was at launch but that's not enough for me to come back and play it again and again through the night as I did with some members of this website a long time ago (BC2, BF3 and BF4)
If you can buy it cheap then it might be worthwhile purchase.
The developers who jumped ship from DICE have formed a new studio, 'Embark Studios' and are looking to release a new game by the name of 'The Finals' A Battle Royal game with insane destruction that has been missing from Battlefield games for the last couple of releases.

that's encouraging, would liek to trye it but the maps look a bit shite (ie, spawn, get sniped from 1000 miles away by Crazy Coldblooded Ivan the 21yo twitch monster)

Top 3?
I've still got a few hours on my EA Play freebie left so will give it a try. To be fair to EA/Dice, BFV was a disaster for the first two years before it settled down and became decent.
I've only got eyes for the new COD:MW at the moment though if I'm honest. Played the beta and it was very good.

Aye, top 3. Fun-wise, it's a great laugh. Doesn't have the looks of BF 1 perhaps but the choice of weapons, vehicle play etc in 2042 feels nicer. Maybe I'm just bored of WW1/2 though.Top 3?

So, a year later, a bunch of updates and fixes and it's finally starting to feel like a game worth playing...

I'm on MW2 now, it's brilliant. I can even hold my own in Invasion mode.

Ah been tempted by MW1 recently, is MW2 really that good, not bothered with CoD in years due to it becoming a bit silly.

Yeah I'm loving it, nearly as good as the original but a bit too much sneaking around for my liking. It's really good looking on the PS5, water is unreal.

Yeah the Dam scene is amazing! Ah you've just upped my interest, I love the stealthy bits the most in CoD games!

This is now on XBOX Gamepass/EA Play. Seems to have got a lot better recently too. Although I can't seem to download the latest update.

All aboard the 303 bus.
I've been playing it a bit the last couple of nights having been a previous BF player, but thought this was poor on launch, and its vastly improved. I just don't have a squad to play with anymore as everyones playing COD, and the squad play takes half the fun out of the game imho.

It does look vastly improved since the last time I played it, some of the YouTube content creators who play it are a positive about the current state of the game.
The class based system appears to be coming back in January after the 'Specialist' system didn't go down too well.
Also, David Sirland one of the long time producers of the Battlefield series has returned to DICE after having left some years ago.
When I get back home in the New Year I'll give it another try, might try and squad up with players here for a hour or two on a Friday / Saturday night just like the old BF3 / BF4 days.

I'd love a BF BC3, BC2 was one of my favourite games of all time - If I remember correctly the awesome Vietnam expansion was free to download and play.

Going free tomorrow on PS4/5.

It’s a lot of fun now, played more in the last few weeks than the entire year and half prior…

Yes, really good actually. Played a good few hours in this now. It's an even bigger turnaround than with BFV.

IC, their free games for the month then.
Very tempted. But it will take that long for me to download it on my shitty Talk Talk internot connection.
