Reactions seem quite polarizing. I personally think it's great, but some can't stand it. Be prepared to refund if you're in the latter category. For me at least, it feels more Battlefield than the most recent BF6 open beta. The maps are wide open, the graphics are attractive, there's a fair amount of verticality, one of the characters has a wingsuit which is cool, the aesthetic is sort of Cyberpunk/Deus Ex meets BF. Of course it was made during the pandemic, so it isn't nearly as polished as BF1, which was made by the prime Battlefield team before they left to found Embark and make The Finals. BF1 is still yet to be topped visually and 2042 doesn't even try.

Also there's heroes each with a specific ability which pissed a lot of people off. Like one has a deployable turret, another has a cluster grenade, another has a first-person controllable rocket launcher, etc. They dropped that for later games. It's very unobtrusive compared to how it was at launch, but it's still there, and could be a dealbreaker for some.

2042 became decent. not great but decent, considering the beta and launch was rancid shit.
i actually like the characters thing, because it means endless wacky fun gadgets and toys to fuck around with. bf6 is a massive step backwards in that regard, its just dull.
and at this point with all the updates there is a fuckton of weapons and vehicles. i think if a weapon/vehicle was on an battlepass you just have to grind it with levels now so its not gone forever. but it's probably quite a grind. there are events like the current one, double xp weekends, and bot matches if you just want xp.
it was never going to be great because the foundation is bad. there's hardly any destruction, the maps are very sterile, and its very run and gun style. but yeah, the devs spent the entire time patching the game into something a bit more like BF and its much better.

all that said idk if i would recommend it really even for ยฃ2, most people still aren't going to like it. it was ded for a long time and will be dead again immediately after this bf6 event.

Nevermind the shitty operators are so bloated in their functionality to enable soloplaying turbo-casuals that teamplay isn't even an afterthought.

>Only if you suck at the game.
Retarded argument -- I can consider vehicle balance (that is both: infantry vs vehicle AND vehicle vs vehicle) to be atrocious regardless of my performance. That said, as dedicated vehicle whore I am telling you that it's not conducive to balance, gameflow or community building for vehicles to be incentivized to farm infantry whilst simultaneously casualising the vehicles to the point of skewing the skill ceiling and making it impossible for new players to learn how to use them. As of right now you have two kinds of players: 1) vehicle whores and 2) retards who misuse vehicles as taxi because they can't handle the combination of 24/7 AV spam by the botched operators in 128er lobbies and the barebone vehicle design.
>opinion presented as fact
The maps were so badly designed that DICE has had to spend +2yrs reworking them (and still botching it, especially in the allocation of vehicle spawns).

You do understand that anons can just educate themselves on SecureBoot and the environments its usually required and used in, yes? If you catch a bootkit outside of a corporate setting, you have much bigger problems than the bootkit itself, namely your gullibility, tech illiteracy and your questionable decisions to visit the most dubious places on the internet without any precautions. As a private person and consumer there is no reason, none whatsoever, to surrender even more autonomy to corporate monopolies and introducing more potential vulnerabilities to your system.
Feed any search engine of your liking with any variation and combination of
SecureBoot and

Conquest was always a garbage mode, rush/breakthrough were always better

You have 10 seconds to show me an active North American BF2 server, until then I'll keep playing with the fucking niggers.

I decided to try it out because it was 3 dollars. The game is definitely slop due to the heroes and open weapons, but it feels like battlefield way more than 6.

>attackers get 3 helicopters and a million tanks
Meanwhile in 6 you get 1 retard in a tank.

I hate the hud and how bright everything is so I could never spend the $3 for this game. Funny that this game got a better farewell than BFV which was just starting to win people over before EA decided to blueball the fanbase.
