BF5 had so much potential, if DICE kept their momentum after the Pacific theater and continued on to Russia or Germany it would've been the best WW2 shooter around. But no, let's drop the game at the height of its popularity to work on a crappy hero shooter battlefield that no one asked for
only for clout. they realized they can't shred any remaining trust with the community for the next game so they were willing to plop a skeleton crew on it to pump out the remaining barebones content.
Battlefield 2042 is absolutely phenomenal right now! The game is in the best state it's ever been, and the seamless crossplay has turned it into a masterpiece. The community is thriving like never before, and every match is packed with players across all platforms. The devs have outdone themselves, delivering an unparalleled gaming experience. It's a must-play for any FPS fan!
@@KA-vs7nlI get your point, but I think the live service is really about keeping the community engaged and the game fresh. The regular updates and new content show the devs' dedication to improving Battlefield 2042. Personally, I really like it and appreciate their hard work and commitment.
@@kayagorzan That tease was just mean because I think it showed equipment from the game being present or hinted at being prototyped... just for nothing to be made...
The problems of 2042 were so deeply rooted in the core of the game that there was no recovering. In the end, it was just a poor asset flip with an Overwatch paint job that no one wanted. The trailer showed a very different game from what was given
Exactly this. For something like cyberpunk the good bits and potential were there, for this game the very purpose of its existence sucked ass. You can fix things mechanically, but you can't fix what's fundamentally wrong with your game.
Dude, yes. I remember me n my die hard BF friends were so hyped cause originally it was only trailers but as soon as I saw gameplay n played the beta I knew nothing from what I loved in earlier battlefields was in this game. Was an obvious cash grab to pull in cod and battle royal players
I wouldn’t even call 2042 an asset flip, it didn’t feel like they built off of BFV, and instead decided to create a game from the ground up within a year. If it built off of what V had, it would’ve probably been playable at launch. But instead, we got…whatever it is we got
When my father was playing Battlefield V he told me how he can't wait for the eastern front or D-Day. After I told him that they stopped working on the game, his look and voice became very dissapointing.
From launch it was clear that the team at DICE didn’t understand what players liked from BF. This always felt like a dumbed down MW and the specialists were a mistake. Portal barely got updated and it feels like the combined arms aspect was heavily neutered for the more Infantry focused gameplay. I dont really have hope for the next BF game. DICE and EA have an uphill battle especially after shutting down support for Battlefront 2 and BF5 for this only to get the same treatment.
Actually, they got rid of more than what they added to portal tbh and their trailers for them are just lies now cause alot of those maps shown no longer allowing flying vehicles
Yeah, the game stumbled so much during its life cycle and somehow went back on almost all improvements made in previous Battlefield games. No BF4's big destruction events, no Hardline's well thought out new modes, no BF1's atmosphere or behemoths, no BFV's movement mechanics or fortifications. Just a pretty barebones Battlefield with maps and modes that are all over the place. The only good new addition are really the bots. It's great to have something to fill empty slots in servers or have some live practice with vehicles against something that acts like players. Or just have a chill environment to grind something in and the game can still be playable after the players have abandoned it. It just had to happen to the weakest Battlefield that I don't see much reason to go back to.
What's more annoying is they were snipped at the height of their popularity, BFV was making a comeback, and BF2 saw a massive resurgence with the Clone Wars update.
@@liamrichardson6830well BF5 was super good until they made only the Japanese submachine gun and sniper rifles useful. Worst balance update in BF history.
Oh great now the "bro trust me its a great game now especially with friends bro" guys are gonna evolve into the "bro this game was underrated best battlefield" guys when the next dumpster fire comes out
They wanted the cosmetic marketplace of popular shooter games like CoD and Fortnite. It makes no sense though for Battlefield which is meant to be more grounded. I don't want to see Santa Claus flying around the map.
@@foxbat203 Exactly! I wouldn't mind some customization like in Battlebit, but a lot of the cosmetics in modern shooters makes team identification not only more difficult but they are also quite distracting.
Theres just something about the lightning, textures and overall presentation that makes this game look like a 2010 free to play shooter. Unbelievable how BF3 and BF4 look wsy better
making a realistic urban warfare map in a game where everyone run jumps around is a bit insane. This would work in a slower paced game like bf2 or arma but not this mess.
Last time.i tried to play Battlefield 1 was when they basically gave all the dlc for free and tried to do the Gallipoli campaign... completely alone. Nobody was there for some reason.
This game may have been made by DICE, but it was made *for* EA. I don't think Battlefield needs a sequel until DICE can either (A) get some courage and tell EA to "f*** off," and let them make a Battlefield game they wanna make, or (B) have a radical reorganization that may be them seperating from EA. I wouldn't care if Battlefield games started coming out every 5+ years, or have BF4 (or even BF3) graphics, if it meant we'd get a great game overall.
@@PoisoningShadow671 Doesn't mean there aren't a bunch of people at DICE (or DICE LA) who wanna make a good game. I'll take a guess that many of them probably want to make a Battlefield game they want to play in their free time, and take pride in the fact that they made it. I'd bet they wanna make a Battlefield game people will enjoy for this generation of PCs and consoles. Something to prove that the old DICE (now Embark Studios) isn't the end for good games from this studio. It doesn't have to be a Battlefield game if it's the passion of many there, but I doubt many of the people there now are there because they wanted to make a Battlefront 3 or Mirror's Edge (Catalyst) sequel. Heck, if people there feel they wanna make a Medal of Honor resurrection or brand new IP, then I'll give it a shot if they're truly passionate about it. (And not "passionate" like some people are who play live-service games because there is always an objective to chase.)
precisely. a problem is that theyre making a game theyre told to make, not a game they want to play themselves for fun (I heard a while ago that even the devs chose to play older battlefield games rather than 2042). And games are best when theyre made by devs who want to play the game (Like Manor Lords, made by one guy who wanted a game like Manor Lords so he made it. Or Battlebit, made by three guys. Or maybe the Galactic Contention mod for Squad, making it a star wars game)
@@crus1118Ah, but you see, as an EA executive, these games don’t have the omega statistics that cause the super stocks to begin rising ultra high, so we must now fire, lay off, and shutdown people and studios to fund infinite growth by converting everything into a live service game. I hope to see you play our live service FIFA x Battlefield game and dump $50,000 on skins and micro-transactions. Oh, I almost forgot! We’ll be sure to fire our entire bug-testing and play-testing divisions and then blame the player base and the dev team when bugs and glitches inevitably occur.
I feel like Battlefield won't ever be good again unless EA pulls DICE from the franchise. Give it to Ripple Effect. Give it to Criterion. Anyone can make a better Battlefield than DICE nowadays
2016: battlefield 1 launches to an absolute blow out. Slamming cod Into the ground by the neck and absolutely dominating 2018: battlefield 5 launches to absolute disaster and horrendous PR fuckery. The game was marred in controversy from the start. But in the end, it was to some degree, salvaged and ended off being a pretty enjoyable game given everything that happened. 2021: battlefield 2042 launches off the heels of the craziest hype train ever only to be the most broken buggy disaster of a game, borderline unplayable at the best of times. The game died incredibly fast and even now, 3 years later and numerous updates, the game, though fun, will never shake off the stink of the abysmal launch Soo bad it actually made battlefield 5 look like a masterpiece by comparison. What makes battlefield 2042 worse is the fact that this game was SUPPOSED to be a return to form, AND in some way, an apology for the tremendous fuck up that was battlefield 5. 2042 was supposed to be dice going "we're sorry that the last game was a stinking pile of shit, here's this new game that's actually good" but it wasn't. It was just doubling down on disappointed and broken promises. Here we are, 3 years after launch and 5 years after battlefield 5's launch and what do we have? I mean we don't even have any information on the next game and it's been almost a full 3 years (it's really only been like 2 and a half years but you know what I mean.) battlefield as a franchise is, for lack of a better term, dead. It sucks, I'm hoping we get SOMETHING regarding future titles but I'm not holding my breath at this point.
While not officially confirmed by EA themselves we know that the next title is set in the 2030s with a big emphasis on next gen destruction and Drones with the NATO going up against a PMC. But everything can change since if you look at the files in this game you can see stuff that suggested the original time periods for 2042 was actually set in 2035
@@thecosmonaut4221 I really wish we'd get a 2142 remaster or something. I never got to play the game, but I remember watching gameplay for it years ago and it looked really fun. Shame it's one of the lesser favored games by the fandom
I’m just hoping they make it a gritty, immersive and somewhat relatable atmosphere that takes the games ‘war’ theme seriously. But we all know that’s just how it is sometimes.
This game was meant but they messed up the theme and it created such a confusing game which tries to appeal to fanbases of popular games that don't play Battlefield. Battlefield 1 nailed that, it was so immersive and really felt like a Battlefield. I know we won't get anything like that in the next decade as DICE/EA refuse to learn their lessons.
@@cabnbeeschurgr If you grew up around Hispanic people or learned Spanish at a young age, you're more likely to pronounce things phonetically accurate. Otherwise, you'd be forcing it, and nobody likes that.
@@Insanebeast123Yeah, the last season is geared towards 2142 but not really. Some lore talking about how the PAC and reformed EU started out and how they’re fighting over the new map. A bunch of PAC inspired skins for specialists and barely any EU ones and some PAC skins for vehicles that give the 2042 vehicles the green and tan paint job from 2142. Other than that, not much 2142 stuff

DICE: "Hey, Battlefield fans! We have this exciting new Battlefield. 2143! Everyone loved the old one so this is a love letter to those fans. However the game is completely broken at launch and barely holds together. 70% of the guns are ported from BF2042 and we've used most of the development time on wacky skins and a half assed extraction mode that's all the hype these days. Oh what? You want walkers in the game? We know they were in the trailers but our team couldn't get them working because technical limitations. Please support us by buying some 30$ skin bundles at the store and in 2 years we might add them in on the final season of the game before we abandon it."
that would require the masses to be smart with their money and not buy every piece of shit they slap on those idiots foreheads. they keep buying EA keeps pumping
@@jurassicarkjordanisgreat1778 This started long before No Mans Sky was even revealed. A perfect example was BF4. It launched as a literal broken buggy mess that was fixed later.
I would love to see that 2 hour review of this games lifespan from you, that would be some trip. It’s crazy to see that it lasted this long, let alone putting in a narrative to tie in 2142. After the nuking of a dedicated single player campaign and disastrous launch, this really is a testament to what’s left of the development team to make something out of this game. Lastly, I worry for the next Battlefield game, since it has been confirmed from that 4chan leak a year ago that they are dead set on keeping specialists, along with making bigger maps with the inclusion of a “Battlefield universe”.
The saddest part is like you said "all the right decisions at the wrong time". Something tells me next bf won’t have QOL improvements and balance changes that 2042 had
I'll give 2042 this: The cosmetics didn't get too out of hand and stayed on theme. Some of them are a smidge too flashy for my taste, but they are believable. COD just went out of control on that front with skins such as: Nikki Minaj Snoop Dogg Teletubbies/Sesame Street parody skins 8 bit Task Force 141 A Brain in a jar Bad Gundam cosplay skins
As a gundam fan that shit hurt my soul. At least the 2042 people mostly looked like weird soldiers, but man our standards are in the shitter for immersion
@@cabnbeeschurgr not all immersion requires realism. That said, the specialists should have been singleplayer campaign characters instead. And yes, this game should've had a singleplayer campaign in the first place
The complaint about heavy armor being a nightmare to play on the new map is kinda funny, because that's the exact reason you never want heavy armor anywhere NEAR an area like that. Urban warfare is so lethal to tanks, that the only reason a map like Amiens is fun is because they literally have to nerf buildings (removing interiors/windows)
Despite the shit launch, its quiet surprising they did get past year 1 and let out 3 extra unexpected seasons. As a bf3 vet I still do find 2042 to be fun, just kept back by its downfalls and lack of care
@@sussyman9034 It's the devs. They fucked over the gamr again and again, both e with the low amount of post launch content, the shitty lost lainch maps and their horrible balance practices. With DICE at the helm, Battlefield will never be good again.
EA has ALWAYS been greedy pricks. DICE has been the only ones keeping the franchise alive. It died with them post BF1. DICE has died and has been replaced by a zombie pretending to be DICE.
I don't think they would've ended the franchise with a bang in season 8. Everything, i mean EVERYTHING which DICE had done for BF2042 was total and utter bare minimum work. Every time a new update or Event was teased, even the small spark of excitement I had for it was ruined by something low effort. A supposed Season 8 would not have been much different from it's pathetic ending in Season 7. Lets hope the devs and publishers learnt something, but who am i kidding? They didnt. I hope that the next Battlefield at least has good gameplay. We all know its launch will probably be abysmal as always.
Playing orbital the other day and the stealth bomber with the kerosene bombs kept nuking D. Until this video I didn’t know it was a flying piece of paper, but with no opposition it really does damage
Although it is an unpopular opinion with battlefield players, I really appreciate that every building and location is mannable. It severely breaks immersion and encourages rushers when everyone knows which buildings to look at and just bolts past five seemingly defensible positions. Rushing is the reason I had mostly quit 2042 and this Haven helps with that.
A big shame 2042 didn’t have a campaign. I actually liked most of the lore that built the world before, during, and after the conflict of 2042 and wish they could’ve done something more impactful than calling card descriptions and the codex. Although looking back on how it launched, I’m kinda glad they didn’t have that chance to fumble.
I just wish that next game doesn't have universal operators. Faction based ones are fine to me. I hope they won't make the guns a complete laser guns like they're in 2042 (BF V, 1, 4 and 3 has way better gunplay). I hope if they bring optical sights to next game they improve them, 2042 optics are absolutely horrible. I felt like vehicles got nerfed to the ground almost immediately in 2042... I still remember those days when all the custom servers had rules like no stinger / javelin to protect the vehicles... I didn't like those rules but also nerfing the vehicles into barely usable ones is annoying. There should be just more ways to counter them. Not to make them weak.
individual operators remove any imagination one has towards the actual game i felt.Obviously they did it for money but why couldn’t just have paid for uniforms and make a short singleplayer game with diversity to get the esg points? some serious iq points are lacking at dice studios
They can just do it like bfv and have different classes have a bunch of assault options. Aside from the hero skins or whatever, bfv's customization was amazing
@@hoplite-official5011 I totally agree with you. But i feel like because it makes them money, they're going to implement it anyway. That's why i keep my hopes kinda low and wish they would atleast limit them to factions.
They say they will stop developping content by season 7 but we still get new cosmetic bundle every week , i wonder how many cosmetic bundle they have left until the game is really out of new content
I'd never heard of Battlefield 2143 before. I'll have to look into its story, but the skins calling back to that make me wonder, are they trying to imply the next battlefield game is going to be a reboot of 2143? Or is that a completely wacky guess? We won't know until announcement I guess, and there's always room for internal shakeups too.
My friends and I all paid the $100+ premium for this on release to get early access for a few day, because we were so done with call of duty’s poor player service and cheater issue. I was so mad that they released a broken beta, and not a full game. It was unplayable, unfinished, and wouldn’t be complete for over a year. Since then I’ve refused to play a dice game, or ever buy early release again. One of the best examples of a company that doesn’t respect its players at all.
I remember being so excited when this game came out after playing the beta and having a lot of fun. Then it released, I played for a week and never played it again. Super interesting to see content still being made on it. Thanks for the video!
I actually really liked Frontlines. I thought it was fun and unique. Future Strike thing was also really fun until, like you said, people stopped playing the objective. Still thought this season was fine, but could’ve been better.
It's sad that this was the final battlefield game that Irish's voice actor, Michael Kenneth Williams performed in before his passing before the game launched.
6:30 this is arguably a good selling point for the map, I hate it too believe me! All im saying is the different vantage points scattered around every possible angle reminds me of how I would envision a real siege on a war torn country. TL;DR I think the map is more realisitic than it is annoying.
Its weird honestly kinda forgot this game existed for a bit. Its really the only Battlefield game I haven't gotten since I started playing playing with 3
I'm honestly so glad that the beta for BF2042 was so bad that I never ended up picking the game. Sadly, I think at this point with DICE it's become a "let sleeping dogs sleep" situation. Series deserves a sunset after the constant disappointments they commit to, which is a shame because they've had really good games recently like BFV and just dropped the ball with that by giving up on it for whatever excuse 2024 has become.
I still have my 2142 original CD Box. And I remember the day they released an update, and a new song dropped (battlefield theme rock remix, or something…). Good times.
Redacted being the best Metro-like? Surprised Underground didn't get a mention. It took all the learned lessons from the updated Metro of BF4, and then added proper flanking and overwatch verticality.
Excellent video, I really like your editing style and your opinion on things. I just wanted to correct something : The Draugr has a jammer, you need to enable it before the rocket get shot
Having “all hands on deck” for 2042 should’ve been a red flag. It’s not “we have the most work being put into this game”. It’s “we’re so far behind, fucked it up so much, we need all studios to help bail us out”.
Imagine that BF2042 had actually been good and built up to releasing an updated version of 2142 with some better mechanics and gameplay. Absolutely fucking incredible that there was so much potential only for us to get a shitty MW clone.
Not too much new stuff said here but totally agree on shutdown actually beeing one of the best modes of 2042 - actually, I thought this was the first mode the characters actually made sense
I came into bf2042 very late, and was suprised with what felt like a very gorgeous game, with snappy weapons, good ttk, and tight movement, but it was souless. I ground out all weapons within about a week and a half of consistent playing then found myself bored with the empty loop of gameplay that felt like a nothing burger.
Stadium reminds me of the subterrainian points in planetside 2. Just like, a huge unintelligible maze and then suddenly a meat grinder of halway camping. The very worst experience possible. I would just straight up refuse to fight there most times.
Battlefield 2042 is in the best state of its life right now! The seamless crossplay implementation has truly revitalized the game, bringing in a bustling community of players. It's fantastic to see so many people enjoying the game together, regardless of their platform. The devs have done an amazing job!
I like Haven on Breakthrough only, I can't stand it on CQ, they need to remove it from the Close Quarters playlist and just make it Stadium and Redacted 24/7. Everytime Haven comes around, I leave the server, and there is only 1 server on that playlist in OCE so I have to sit and wait until the next round to play the other infantry maps.
This is the first battlefield video I've ever been recommended since the game launched, and honestly that makes me kinda sad, I wasn't a huge battlefield fan, but I like BF1. Sad that the game seemed to have taken such a big downturn that continued even after the beta
Love the vid man, but I really gotta disagree on Redacted. Personally, I hate it. It feels like they wanted to make another metro, but the specialist system destroys it. I'm more of an Exposure guy: big open map, lots of great close quarters areas, beautiful design.
im just sad we wont get any more music. 2042 has my favourite videogame soundtrack of all time and is one of those things that i think was hated when it came out. but give it a few years and people will remember it as a masterful work of art fuck the game, i couldnt care less. i just hope more people who appreciate art will commission sam and hildur again for something like it. its truly in a league of its own
Just found your channel through this video. Where have you been all these years? I’ve been missing actual battlefield franchise youtubing ever since the ogs left for call of duty
I know it probably wasn't intended as a callous insult but I did feel that the statement, "so because of people's refusal to upgrade, we were shit out of luck," was kinda sus. But beyond that, pretty nice breakdown of the game's life, since I did not keep up with the game at all, since I still felt burned by how BFV ended just before it started getting good. I'll remain skeptical of buying any new battlefield game if they always end up feeling like missed opportunities like how 2042 did.
I've noticed ever since BF4's QoL updates (minimap resizing, reticle adjusting, UI resizing, etc), Dice has been launching their games WITHOUT those QoL features only to add (some of) them in later, and people praise them for it. I'm fully expecting the next BF to have the exact same thing happen, followed by the fanbase mindlessly thanking them for adding features they forgot we already had. I also can't wait for the "2042 was actually really good" history revision if the next BF sucks. I'm just really glad BF4 and BF1 seem to still be alive. I wish BF3 didn't have the missfortune of having a terrible browser launcher, and I have no idea why everyone dropped hardline so fast. RIP BC2.
If I had a nickel for everytime DICE was cut off from steadily polishing a game that had a *very* rough release right in the middle of the polishing process, I'd have two nickels.

Yeah, the game stumbled so much during its life cycle and somehow went back on almost all improvements made in previous Battlefield games. No BF4's big destruction events, no Hardline's well thought out new modes, no BF1's atmosphere or behemoths, no BFV's movement mechanics or fortifications. Just a pretty barebones Battlefield with maps and modes that are all over the place.
The only good new addition are really the bots. It's great to have something to fill empty slots in servers or have some live practice with vehicles against something that acts like players. Or just have a chill environment to grind something in and the game can still be playable after the players have abandoned it. It just had to happen to the weakest Battlefield that I don't see much reason to go back to.

What's more annoying is they were snipped at the height of their popularity, BFV was making a comeback, and BF2 saw a massive resurgence with the Clone Wars update.
@@liamrichardson6830well BF5 was super good until they made only the Japanese submachine gun and sniper rifles useful. Worst balance update in BF history.
To call 2042 a dumpster fire would be an insult to dumpster fires.
At least dumpster fires are useful because they give homeless people warmth 😂
Oh great now the "bro trust me its a great game now especially with friends bro" guys are gonna evolve into the
"bro this game was underrated best battlefield" guys when the next dumpster fire comes out
Yeah no I always say how the game is shit, but the internet no matter what always behaves with the “Old good, New Bad” mind set
Can't wait for the Jackfrags video "this game was underrated..." a year from now
I swear, there are always those people. 6 years from now somebody will be saying BF2042 was the golden age of Battlefield.

@@negative6442people just like consistency, even if it’s consistent slop and garbage lmao
All the soldier designs look so silly in 2142. I really miss Battlefield 4.
They wanted the cosmetic marketplace of popular shooter games like CoD and Fortnite. It makes no sense though for Battlefield which is meant to be more grounded. I don't want to see Santa Claus flying around the map.
@@foxbat203 Exactly! I wouldn't mind some customization like in Battlebit, but a lot of the cosmetics in modern shooters makes team identification not only more difficult but they are also quite distracting.
No, 2142 was fucking awesome. 2042 sucks. 2142 came right after battlefield 2 i think. Both of those were top 5 for me
2142 is a masterpiece that will never be recreated
They needed customization like bf5 or call of duty ghosts for the most part. Realistic cosmetics that followed the setting and tone of the game
Theres just something about the lightning, textures and overall presentation that makes this game look like a 2010 free to play shooter. Unbelievable how BF3 and BF4 look wsy better
It’s also something about the feeling. The weapons and recoil feel very weird. The movement feels floaty.
Exactly. The game looks so sterile and soulless. BF3 still looks better.
making a realistic urban warfare map in a game where everyone run jumps around is a bit insane. This would work in a slower paced game like bf2 or arma but not this mess.
Bad company 2 these maps worked very well.
This whole video should be shortened to: "play battlefield 1"

It's fun and all but I swear I always get the team that is mostly new EA play users, thene other team is level 150s
Or BF4
Last time.i tried to play Battlefield 1 was when they basically gave all the dlc for free and tried to do the Gallipoli campaign... completely alone. Nobody was there for some reason.
This game may have been made by DICE, but it was made *for* EA.
I don't think Battlefield needs a sequel until DICE can either (A) get some courage and tell EA to "f*** off," and let them make a Battlefield game they wanna make, or (B) have a radical reorganization that may be them seperating from EA. I wouldn't care if Battlefield games started coming out every 5+ years, or have BF4 (or even BF3) graphics, if it meant we'd get a great game overall.
Would any of this matter anyway? Like, didn't most of the OG DICE team behind BF1 and BF4, etc already leave during/after BFV?
@@PoisoningShadow671 Doesn't mean there aren't a bunch of people at DICE (or DICE LA) who wanna make a good game.
I'll take a guess that many of them probably want to make a Battlefield game they want to play in their free time, and take pride in the fact that they made it. I'd bet they wanna make a Battlefield game people will enjoy for this generation of PCs and consoles. Something to prove that the old DICE (now Embark Studios) isn't the end for good games from this studio.
It doesn't have to be a Battlefield game if it's the passion of many there, but I doubt many of the people there now are there because they wanted to make a Battlefront 3 or Mirror's Edge (Catalyst) sequel. Heck, if people there feel they wanna make a Medal of Honor resurrection or brand new IP, then I'll give it a shot if they're truly passionate about it. (And not "passionate" like some people are who play live-service games because there is always an objective to chase.)
precisely. a problem is that theyre making a game theyre told to make, not a game they want to play themselves for fun (I heard a while ago that even the devs chose to play older battlefield games rather than 2042).
And games are best when theyre made by devs who want to play the game (Like Manor Lords, made by one guy who wanted a game like Manor Lords so he made it. Or Battlebit, made by three guys. Or maybe the Galactic Contention mod for Squad, making it a star wars game)
@@crus1118Ah, but you see, as an EA executive, these games don’t have the omega statistics that cause the super stocks to begin rising ultra high, so we must now fire, lay off, and shutdown people and studios to fund infinite growth by converting everything into a live service game.
I hope to see you play our live service FIFA x Battlefield game and dump $50,000 on skins and micro-transactions.
Oh, I almost forgot! We’ll be sure to fire our entire bug-testing and play-testing divisions and then blame the player base and the dev team when bugs and glitches inevitably occur.
I feel like Battlefield won't ever be good again unless EA pulls DICE from the franchise.
Give it to Ripple Effect. Give it to Criterion. Anyone can make a better Battlefield than DICE nowadays
2016: battlefield 1 launches to an absolute blow out. Slamming cod Into the ground by the neck and absolutely dominating
2018: battlefield 5 launches to absolute disaster and horrendous PR fuckery. The game was marred in controversy from the start. But in the end, it was to some degree, salvaged and ended off being a pretty enjoyable game given everything that happened.
2021: battlefield 2042 launches off the heels of the craziest hype train ever only to be the most broken buggy disaster of a game, borderline unplayable at the best of times. The game died incredibly fast and even now, 3 years later and numerous updates, the game, though fun, will never shake off the stink of the abysmal launch Soo bad it actually made battlefield 5 look like a masterpiece by comparison.
What makes battlefield 2042 worse is the fact that this game was SUPPOSED to be a return to form, AND in some way, an apology for the tremendous fuck up that was battlefield 5. 2042 was supposed to be dice going "we're sorry that the last game was a stinking pile of shit, here's this new game that's actually good" but it wasn't. It was just doubling down on disappointed and broken promises.
Here we are, 3 years after launch and 5 years after battlefield 5's launch and what do we have?
I mean we don't even have any information on the next game and it's been almost a full 3 years (it's really only been like 2 and a half years but you know what I mean.) battlefield as a franchise is, for lack of a better term, dead. It sucks, I'm hoping we get SOMETHING regarding future titles but I'm not holding my breath at this point.
While not officially confirmed by EA themselves we know that the next title is set in the 2030s with a big emphasis on next gen destruction and Drones with the NATO going up against a PMC. But everything can change since if you look at the files in this game you can see stuff that suggested the original time periods for 2042 was actually set in 2035
The downfall pattern that battlefield has taken is sad.
@@thecosmonaut4221 I really wish we'd get a 2142 remaster or something. I never got to play the game, but I remember watching gameplay for it years ago and it looked really fun. Shame it's one of the lesser favored games by the fandom
I’m just hoping they make it a gritty, immersive and somewhat relatable atmosphere that takes the games ‘war’ theme seriously.
But we all know that’s just how it is sometimes.
This game was meant but they messed up the theme and it created such a confusing game which tries to appeal to fanbases of popular games that don't play Battlefield.
Battlefield 1 nailed that, it was so immersive and really felt like a Battlefield. I know we won't get anything like that in the next decade as DICE/EA refuse to learn their lessons.

I love bf1, but damn I'm so tired of playing the base game maps
@@highoffgunpowder I persoanlly find matches on cape helles, argonne forest and fort de vaux. I live in southern europe and play at weekends around midnight.
I would ask the next game be 2143, but I know they would fuck it up so I won't bother.
DICE: "Hey, Battlefield fans! We have this exciting new Battlefield. 2143! Everyone loved the old one so this is a love letter to those fans. However the game is completely broken at launch and barely holds together. 70% of the guns are ported from BF2042 and we've used most of the development time on wacky skins and a half assed extraction mode that's all the hype these days. Oh what? You want walkers in the game? We know they were in the trailers but our team couldn't get them working because technical limitations. Please support us by buying some 30$ skin bundles at the store and in 2 years we might add them in on the final season of the game before we abandon it."
We need to stop expecting / hoping developers fix / enhance their game AFTER it releases, especially when it releases in such a poor state.
I remember when Bethesda was getting sued for doing exactly that. Now it's industry norm
that would require the masses to be smart with their money and not buy every piece of shit they slap on those idiots foreheads. they keep buying EA keeps pumping
Too many people want no man sky to happen with games and lowered their standards because of that. shilling is rampent in modern gaming.
@@jurassicarkjordanisgreat1778 This started long before No Mans Sky was even revealed. A perfect example was BF4. It launched as a literal broken buggy mess that was fixed later.
I would love to see that 2 hour review of this games lifespan from you, that would be some trip.
It’s crazy to see that it lasted this long, let alone putting in a narrative to tie in 2142. After the nuking of a dedicated single player campaign and disastrous launch, this really is a testament to what’s left of the development team to make something out of this game.
Lastly, I worry for the next Battlefield game, since it has been confirmed from that 4chan leak a year ago that they are dead set on keeping specialists, along with making bigger maps with the inclusion of a “Battlefield universe”.
I hate the idea of "events." they really dont do anything or add anything but give the illusion of new or more content.
It’s all just for skins basically
The saddest part is like you said "all the right decisions at the wrong time". Something tells me next bf won’t have QOL improvements and balance changes that 2042 had
I'll give 2042 this:
The cosmetics didn't get too out of hand and stayed on theme. Some of them are a smidge too flashy for my taste, but they are believable.
COD just went out of control on that front with skins such as:
Nikki Minaj
Snoop Dogg
Teletubbies/Sesame Street parody skins
8 bit Task Force 141
A Brain in a jar
Bad Gundam cosplay skins
As a gundam fan that shit hurt my soul. At least the 2042 people mostly looked like weird soldiers, but man our standards are in the shitter for immersion
@@cabnbeeschurgr not all immersion requires realism. That said, the specialists should have been singleplayer campaign characters instead. And yes, this game should've had a singleplayer campaign in the first place
@@timur5219 but immersion does require consistency. Bf2042 and cod have none.
@@cabnbeeschurgr I understand that
Didnt they add a santa claus skin a while back? or better yet a skin that looked like sheriff woodie?
The complaint about heavy armor being a nightmare to play on the new map is kinda funny, because that's the exact reason you never want heavy armor anywhere NEAR an area like that.
Urban warfare is so lethal to tanks, that the only reason a map like Amiens is fun is because they literally have to nerf buildings (removing interiors/windows)
Despite the shit launch, its quiet surprising they did get past year 1 and let out 3 extra unexpected seasons. As a bf3 vet I still do find 2042 to be fun, just kept back by its downfalls and lack of care
i will never purchase another battlefield ever these "new" devs are soo useless its not the same people back in the day

EA has ALWAYS been greedy pricks. DICE has been the only ones keeping the franchise alive. It died with them post BF1. DICE has died and has been replaced by a zombie pretending to be DICE.
You say that Haven favors defenders, but my team always refuses to stay near to point so they always get capped within 5 min of retreating.
I haven't touched this game for months, been playing gems like BF4, XDEFIANT, INSURGENCY SANDSTORM, ACE COMBAT 7, and Mudrunner on my PS5.

@@allpraisewebb1142 they won't, embracer group owns its souk now it prolly won't last very long sadly.
I was so excited for 2042 when i saw the first trailers, im still sad to see that it went down like this
I don't think they would've ended the franchise with a bang in season 8. Everything, i mean EVERYTHING which DICE had done for BF2042 was total and utter bare minimum work. Every time a new update or Event was teased, even the small spark of excitement I had for it was ruined by something low effort. A supposed Season 8 would not have been much different from it's pathetic ending in Season 7. Lets hope the devs and publishers learnt something, but who am i kidding? They didnt. I hope that the next Battlefield at least has good gameplay. We all know its launch will probably be abysmal as always.
Playing orbital the other day and the stealth bomber with the kerosene bombs kept nuking D. Until this video I didn’t know it was a flying piece of paper, but with no opposition it really does damage
Although it is an unpopular opinion with battlefield players, I really appreciate that every building and location is mannable. It severely breaks immersion and encourages rushers when everyone knows which buildings to look at and just bolts past five seemingly defensible positions. Rushing is the reason I had mostly quit 2042 and this Haven helps with that.
Big props for playing BO3 custom zombies
A big shame 2042 didn’t have a campaign. I actually liked most of the lore that built the world before, during, and after the conflict of 2042 and wish they could’ve done something more impactful than calling card descriptions and the codex. Although looking back on how it launched, I’m kinda glad they didn’t have that chance to fumble.
I just wish that next game doesn't have universal operators. Faction based ones are fine to me. I hope they won't make the guns a complete laser guns like they're in 2042 (BF V, 1, 4 and 3 has way better gunplay). I hope if they bring optical sights to next game they improve them, 2042 optics are absolutely horrible. I felt like vehicles got nerfed to the ground almost immediately in 2042... I still remember those days when all the custom servers had rules like no stinger / javelin to protect the vehicles... I didn't like those rules but also nerfing the vehicles into barely usable ones is annoying. There should be just more ways to counter them. Not to make them weak.
2042: marketed as Battlefield. Built like CoD and Overwatch
individual operators remove any imagination one has towards the actual game i felt.Obviously they did it for money but why couldn’t just have paid for uniforms and make a short singleplayer game with diversity to get the esg points? some serious iq points are lacking at dice studios
They can just do it like bfv and have different classes have a bunch of assault options. Aside from the hero skins or whatever, bfv's customization was amazing
@@hoplite-official5011 I totally agree with you. But i feel like because it makes them money, they're going to implement it anyway. That's why i keep my hopes kinda low and wish they would atleast limit them to factions.
@@cabnbeeschurgr if the operators in 2042 were like elite skins in BFV it would've been fine so long as we had country-based uniforms

Nice pfp bro
You too bro
really hits hard to know the battlefield 2142 references won't go anywhere. 2142 was a game I spent way too much time in!
They say they will stop developping content by season 7 but we still get new cosmetic bundle every week , i wonder how many cosmetic bundle they have left until the game is really out of new content
I'd never heard of Battlefield 2143 before. I'll have to look into its story, but the skins calling back to that make me wonder, are they trying to imply the next battlefield game is going to be a reboot of 2143? Or is that a completely wacky guess? We won't know until announcement I guess, and there's always room for internal shakeups too.
I remember playing the last medal of honor, BF3, BF4 and WW2. This looks dope, should play BF again.
i think you should check out BF1 and even BF5 before this
"Hm I wonder how bf2042 is doing..."
"It's over"
"Oh"
I feel like I’m watching CoD footage every time this game pops up
they're still doing smaller content drops lmao it was just the last big seasonal update
As someone who doesn't play Battlefield or have any idea of what's going on, I agree!
My friends and I all paid the $100+ premium for this on release to get early access for a few day, because we were so done with call of duty’s poor player service and cheater issue.
I was so mad that they released a broken beta, and not a full game. It was unplayable, unfinished, and wouldn’t be complete for over a year.
Since then I’ve refused to play a dice game, or ever buy early release again. One of the best examples of a company that doesn’t respect its players at all.
broken, unfinished, and fixed in a year is literally battlefield's MO.
I remember being so excited when this game came out after playing the beta and having a lot of fun. Then it released, I played for a week and never played it again. Super interesting to see content still being made on it. Thanks for the video!
I never had the chance of playing the old kaleidoscope 120 player map as I was still playing on an xbox one until after the map was revamped.
2042 is honestly in a great spot right now. Game should have released in this state but overall excited for the sophomore year of the new dev team
I actually really liked Frontlines. I thought it was fun and unique. Future Strike thing was also really fun until, like you said, people stopped playing the objective. Still thought this season was fine, but could’ve been better.
It's sad that this was the final battlefield game that Irish's voice actor, Michael Kenneth Williams performed in before his passing before the game launched.
I played battlefield 2042 once. And then I uninstalled it and went back to Battlefield 1.
6:30 this is arguably a good selling point for the map, I hate it too believe me! All im saying is the different vantage points scattered around every possible angle reminds me of how I would envision a real siege on a war torn country. TL;DR I think the map is more realisitic than it is annoying.
That’s a fair stand point to have
Still crazy how batlefield and bf2 are enenies yet friends
As someone who pre-ordered the game, i wish they never changed any with the class.
Its weird honestly kinda forgot this game existed for a bit. Its really the only Battlefield game I haven't gotten since I started playing playing with 3
I'm honestly so glad that the beta for BF2042 was so bad that I never ended up picking the game. Sadly, I think at this point with DICE it's become a "let sleeping dogs sleep" situation. Series deserves a sunset after the constant disappointments they commit to, which is a shame because they've had really good games recently like BFV and just dropped the ball with that by giving up on it for whatever excuse 2024 has become.
It's a shame we didn't get any more drones beside the robot dog
I still have my 2142 original CD Box.
And I remember the day they released an update, and a new song dropped (battlefield theme rock remix, or something…).
Good times.
Redacted being the best Metro-like? Surprised Underground didn't get a mention. It took all the learned lessons from the updated Metro of BF4, and then added proper flanking and overwatch verticality.
Excellent video, I really like your editing style and your opinion on things. I just wanted to correct something : The Draugr has a jammer, you need to enable it before the rocket get shot
Having “all hands on deck” for 2042 should’ve been a red flag. It’s not “we have the most work being put into this game”. It’s “we’re so far behind, fucked it up so much, we need all studios to help bail us out”.
Man, a modern 2140’s battlefield would be so awesome. The original was Such an underrated BF game
I was at my local Goodwill recently and they had two copies of battlefield 2042 for sale for $5. That means they were donated
5 days later, DED SPAYYYCE BBY
Lmaoo
We will be there hopefully when the next game comes out unless stuff happens.
Imagine that BF2042 had actually been good and built up to releasing an updated version of 2142 with some better mechanics and gameplay. Absolutely fucking incredible that there was so much potential only for us to get a shitty MW clone.
Not too much new stuff said here but totally agree on shutdown actually beeing one of the best modes of 2042 - actually, I thought this was the first mode the characters actually made sense
I came into bf2042 very late, and was suprised with what felt like a very gorgeous game, with snappy weapons, good ttk, and tight movement, but it was souless. I ground out all weapons within about a week and a half of consistent playing then found myself bored with the empty loop of gameplay that felt like a nothing burger.
17:59 That is a MECH/Mechanically Enhanced Cybernetic Humanoid.
I hope we are all ready for whatever is coming next to be even worse
I played and stuck with it all the way with hopes that it would pull through and come back but never did
I hope if the next game is 2140 that it doesn't have any laser weapons as primary and just those ballistic
Stadium is fun and was extremely underutilized in the actual hourglass map. It basically feels like a new map so I can't even be mad.
Stadium reminds me of the subterrainian points in planetside 2. Just like, a huge unintelligible maze and then suddenly a meat grinder of halway camping. The very worst experience possible. I would just straight up refuse to fight there most times.
Stealth Heli sounds like a Night Futy from HTTYD
Battlefield 2042 is in the best state of its life right now! The seamless crossplay implementation has truly revitalized the game, bringing in a bustling community of players. It's fantastic to see so many people enjoying the game together, regardless of their platform. The devs have done an amazing job!
I forgot this game was a thing. Still gonna watch your video
Well, I have BF1, Insurgency Sandstorm & Hell Let Loose (soon Squad as well) that I'll happily play until Battlefield stops being crap.
"Battlefield didn't just die, it was murdered."
I like Haven on Breakthrough only, I can't stand it on CQ, they need to remove it from the Close Quarters playlist and just make it Stadium and Redacted 24/7. Everytime Haven comes around, I leave the server, and there is only 1 server on that playlist in OCE so I have to sit and wait until the next round to play the other infantry maps.
Back to BF1 with the boys, going back in time to save the title 😂
I know how cool stadiums can be in video games. I've played Phantom Liberty
How did they release a new aircraft set in some semi rralistic future setting WITHOUT COUNTERMEASURES?!
Can’t wait for the Live Service Battle Royale BF6/7 game 😁
It might be because i got the game for 5 bucks, but i love the game. Whats the big deap with it?
This is the first battlefield video I've ever been recommended since the game launched, and honestly that makes me kinda sad, I wasn't a huge battlefield fan, but I like BF1. Sad that the game seemed to have taken such a big downturn that continued even after the beta
Love the vid man, but I really gotta disagree on Redacted. Personally, I hate it. It feels like they wanted to make another metro, but the specialist system destroys it. I'm more of an Exposure guy: big open map, lots of great close quarters areas, beautiful design.
im just sad we wont get any more music. 2042 has my favourite videogame soundtrack of all time and is one of those things that i think was hated when it came out. but give it a few years and people will remember it as a masterful work of art
fuck the game, i couldnt care less. i just hope more people who appreciate art will commission sam and hildur again for something like it. its truly in a league of its own
Played BF4 last night for the 1st time in years got into a DLC map only playlist … it was night and day compared to BF2024 … how do you go so wrong …
Just found your channel through this video. Where have you been all these years? I’ve been missing actual battlefield franchise youtubing ever since the ogs left for call of duty
I know it probably wasn't intended as a callous insult but I did feel that the statement, "so because of people's refusal to upgrade, we were shit out of luck," was kinda sus. But beyond that, pretty nice breakdown of the game's life, since I did not keep up with the game at all, since I still felt burned by how BFV ended just before it started getting good. I'll remain skeptical of buying any new battlefield game if they always end up feeling like missed opportunities like how 2042 did.
I've noticed ever since BF4's QoL updates (minimap resizing, reticle adjusting, UI resizing, etc), Dice has been launching their games WITHOUT those QoL features only to add (some of) them in later, and people praise them for it.
I'm fully expecting the next BF to have the exact same thing happen, followed by the fanbase mindlessly thanking them for adding features they forgot we already had. I also can't wait for the "2042 was actually really good" history revision if the next BF sucks.
I'm just really glad BF4 and BF1 seem to still be alive. I wish BF3 didn't have the missfortune of having a terrible browser launcher, and I have no idea why everyone dropped hardline so fast. RIP BC2.
If I had a nickel for everytime DICE was cut off from steadily polishing a game that had a *very* rough release right in the middle of the polishing process, I'd have two nickels.
