Always loved the large scale battles that the franchise offers. There are so many memories you can make in different areas of every map. It's not perfect but it's probably my favourite infrantry vehicle combat game
Battlefield is the only multiplayer shooter that I feel like is actually engaging from just a sense of fun. Call of Duty each year increasingly feels like it's trying to force itself upon me to be the one stop shop for any gaming experience, and that's exactly what drove me away. After all the recent changes, I feel like the game is genuinely focusing on the parts of Battlefield that made it special rather than trying to chase trends. I even kinda dig the way the specialist and class system work now because I feel like I'm making a way more active decision about my role in the game. Idk Battlefield just has this certain spark that I've yet to see another shooter replicate, and I've played almost every battlefield-like game under the sun.
@IndelibleGlacier I would say games like Squad miss me on the moment to moment gameplay. One way I'd describe my enjoyment of battlefield, is that I would be more excited to play a more action movie, teamplay heavy battlefield, than a more realistic hardcore battlefield. I'm not a fan of sitting in one place, I wanna play the movie scene.
@@indelibleglacier219 squad is a game made by armchair commandos for armchair commandos, if i want to play something "realistic" i play insurgency sandstorm
I actually cane across BF3 with my son 13 years ago, had no idea that it would become my most favourite game, great interactive social game with friends and having fun and laughs together, the most satisfying thing is taking down other players giving me that natural high. Always liked war games and I prefer the way BF franchise have developed their games. Keep the footage coming Jack fantastic coverage mate 😎👍
@@MrStopAsking My son and I had no idea what we where doing, going around blowing buildings up was funny to us during conquest 🤣 until we met recruiting clan members, they gave us clarity and we started playing the objective. Playing in a clan certainly brings out one's competitive nature, I enjoyed clan scrims and the social interactive conversations, watching rare outstanding players was special. So far I've played BF3 - BF4 - BF5 and now 2042 on PS4 certainly seen the format differences with PS5, the difference is night and day lols
I like Battlefield combat, because when you join the match, you never know what to expect. Even tho I don't like a lot of things in this game, it's still very fun to play for 1-2 hours on the weekend. I don't play it as much as I played BF3/4 but it's good enough. I hope the next BF game will be closer to the game that people wanted, without those weird design and balance decisions.
@@babaloons4887Yeah pretty much. I play this alot, but I also play the older ones regularly. Especially on the weekends. Always manage to find servers at least on console
Breakthrough is tough for me because each match always feels one sided...if its attack or defend, it always seems that one side is greatly outnumbered by the other...not sure if its a balance issue or just me, but i find it difficult to play, granted its still much better than conquest
I never stopped playing 2042 but I didn't play it much for the first year, maybe once a week. Once they did the update to specialists fitting them into classes a lot of my BF buddies started playing it again and now we're back to playing it every night again. It's not the best BF game nor close to it, but it's still a BF game and offers gameplay that no other shooter can do. BattleBit was interesting but too big, my squad didn't have an impact. 32 player Rush and 64 player Conquest is the perfect balance of large scale feeling and still being able to have impact on the win.
But bigger is better, and no battle will ever be fought with 32 soldiers or something lol. Really they need two multiplayer categories to satisfy both Battlefield playerbases: Battlefield Big - with hardcore/realism focus, and Battlefield Small - with casual/arcade focus.

I think my answer is a mix of everything you said in the video. It’s fun, I don’t have to sweat every game to have fun/do well, and it’s probably the most stable and fun BTB (big team battle) based game. Battlebit is fun for its own reasons and this is fun for different reasons.
I think I agree with most of those points as well. No SBMM, the overall conquest environment of infantry/vehicles, and the fun overall chaos. I honestly haven't played BF2042 for a few months. But seeing all the updates and your videos Jack, make me want to go back and play it. Once I finish TOTK though. I watch Mint Blitz, Lets Game it Out, VLDL, and Critical Role
No other game offer the same balance of vechile and infantry gameplay. There is something so satisfying to hunt tanks for the team or shoot down choppers and see how your effort benefitted the whole team.
It's much improved...I played a lot a couple months after launch. Didn't pick it up for about a year. Just started again last week on S5...it's actually pretty great now. Took long enough.
Having a mid range gun fight next to a tornado in Stranded on max settings is something else. The game is a different experience at 4k on max settings, unlike other shooters. Debris and weather effects are amazing.
Simply put, it’s a good shooter that nobody wants to sweat over, not unlike previous BF games. Likely the best CoD alternative that’s known by the widespread public atm. It’s not quite at the echelon that Battlefield has usually been at, but it’s still a fun shooter. I definitely think Breakthrough is the defining mode for this game, since it makes the best use of the crazy large maps by progressing through it as the points are captured. Not quite the miracle that occured with BF4, but the game still made a nice rebound, and probably still gets too much flak for the way it was 2 years ago.

I don't play BF atm, but Girl With The Dogs is indeed an awesome chill channel Jack, found it couple months ago and will almost daily watch a vid. She's a master at her craft.
I feel like BF walks a fine line between realism and accessibility that not many, if any, shooter series manage to walk. Also Conquest 64 servers are not so large that battles become unmanageable chaos but not so small that I feel the need to be constantly sweating to contribute to the team. And yeah, the battlepass is very lax, I only play a handful of rounds a week and I'm able to finish the battlepass a week or two before the end of the season.
I recently bought Battlefield 2042 when it was on sale and I do not regret buying it because it's a game where I'm able to get some of the Battlefield experience from previous games and casually complete the battle pass without spending weeks grinding it.
DICE...look at what Battlebit Remastered has accomplished and simply expand on that at a AAA level. Cut your loses with 2042 and lets get a proper BF game already.
Battlefield is a breath of fresh air after streaming cod for so long. Doesn’t feel forced or sweaty but fun. Fun fps games still exist which is awesome 🤘🏻
I enjoy 2042s setting aesthetic. I rarely played though at the start but once they added the Portal weapons like the M16A3 into the base game I had a lot more fun using weapons I like the look of.
I've been having so much on BF 2042 recently. I've gotten so bored of MWII multiplayer. I occasionally play Warzone but BF 2042, even though I play by myself, is so much fun. It feels so awesome when you see all the bullets flying around and the air craft flying over you while there's tanks and other vehicles fighting below you. Theres obviously room for improvement but it's still a fun game and that's the important thing.
NO NEW MAPS TO BUY EVEN IF YOU WANT ALWAYS THE SAME DAMN BORING MAPS NO SERVER BROWSER NO LOBBYS ON A NORMAL AFTERNOON THANK GOD I GOT IT FOR FREE ON PSN NEVER SHOULD ANYONE SPEND MONEY ON THIS GAME THERE IS NO ADDED CONTENT WHAT SO EVER
I’ve played 2042 on again off again since release. Have over half of the guns T1. What always brings me back though are the “only in battlefield moments”. This game and this franchise is the only on that just provides you with some of the most unique, badass and often times hilarious, moments. No other game can produce moments like that.
As for UA-cam channels, i really love the bearded butchers channel. Full breakdowns of animals, in depth descriptions, cooking tips, just so much and always get weird looks when i talk about it to people hahah worth a shout
Im a Battlefield fan since BF3. I was disappointed with 2042 at launch as everyone was. However, ive never stopped playing and the game has being getting better and better with each update. Its clear that right now the game is so much different, even tweaking or reworking some core features in the game, from what it was at launch. Thats something you cannot say about other games rn. Is it the least Dice could do to save the franchise? Yes. Is it a small task tho? It gives me hope for this and future titles.
I’ve seen a lot of comments recently saying the game is fixed now, so I wanted to check it myself and it really is. I’m having fun with BF 2042 and I’m glad DICE put some effort into it, pulling the game out of a complete mess.
I have been a huge player since BF 1942 and always will be on this franchise. Keep up making these videos, sir! I enjoy watching them and your commentary is fun. 😊
Battlefield always has a special place in my gaming heart, BF4 I had 1300+ hours alone lol so with the latest update it’s bringing good nostalgia back, and I don’t take things a serious now a days just want to kick back and shoot guns lol
I've tried desperately to get into this game as I love previous BF entries but there is just nothing there that grips me. I hope its back to normal next time.
A really cool channel with amazing story telling and very interesting topics is "The Why Files". Not sure if you're into that kind of thing but after discovering it I can't wait for their weekly new video!
Been playing BF since the Codename Eagle days (remember that?). I just love the mix of infantry and vehicle based combat. It's a bit more forgiving than the run and gun games like COD. 2042 isn't the best in the franchise, but DICE have done really well with improving the game compared to how it was launched. Was the same for BF4, BF1 and BF:V tho - dodgy launch but got better - will they ever learn? In terms of weirdly interesting UA-cam channels, I love watching Hoon's Coffee - a guy in the US making coffee at home - it's got a real chill vibe and he has a very calming voice. Worth checking out if you want coffee tips, or just to chill. Keep up the great work Jack - you're smashing it.
I was a Cod only fps player for a majority of my life and I heard so much about and watched so many great videos about bf4 up unto 2018 or so .... got bf4 and got absolutely addicted .. then bf1 then bf5 and 2042 just came next and I just kept playing. Lol
Nice Jack 😎 good to see some footage. I ditched cod a week ago and been on this since. Getting into it more now, definitely the best cod alternative for me.
I avoided the game at first with how it launched but I can honestly say that the game is in a good state right now. I’ve been playing BF since BC2 days so Ive always had a love for the franchise! I would argue that BF2042 is a much better place now than MW2 is. Just a fun shooter to hop on with friends, I do hope with future games that they go back to basics and also better destruction, I miss leveling entire buildings!
BF 2042 is just fun. No SBMM. Your K/D is irrelevant. You can play it any which way you want. If you want to be a sweaty pilot, a camping sniper, a gung ho killstreakseeker or a maniac vehicle hunter is completely up to you. And once in a while you get those Battlefield moments that you can't get in other games.
I bought the game about 2 months back. I am really enjoying it so far, it is definitely the best battlefield of the best couple of years (to me). Even though bf3 and bf4 have allot of nostalgia for me, I do sometimes think this is becoming my favourite bf. I feel like with the edition of Portal they should not make a games at the same rate as normal, because it has so much potential. As far as i have heard from the release, the game has improved immensely, and the devs have been doing a great job. I do really miss the dog tag colleting (from knives & challenges). I also just feel like b3-4 medals felt so achieving, but that might just be the age, and the friends that the achievement were shared with.
I just got BF2042 a few days ago(BF Sale)... and its the most fun I've had in a multiplayer game in a while. I die more that I kill, but It's still loads of fun.
All those statements you said why we play it are true. More fun than CoDMW2 and Halo. I keep buying battle pass too. The maps are always evolving. And the maps change weather or layouts from damage or weather. I swap between 2042 and Star Wars Battlefront 2.
I am genuinely having so much fun playing BF2042 right now, and that’s not something I saw myself saying a year ago. Every time I go play COD right now I can’t wait to play this game afterwards to actually have some fun gaming.
After playing Battlebit, which has very little aimcone, I'm questioning if I should even return to BF2042. My number one gripe with this game is that you can get your reticle on someone, control recoil well, but then still have to pray that your bullets end up hitting them past close-mid range.
BB has so many features that BF fans wanted for years but they never added. You can't tank camp, you can drag players, talk to anyone close to you, a real building mechanic (unlike BFV), way more customization, full destruction etc...
I wanna love this game so bad. I started playing Battlefield 2, almost all the titles up to BFV but I just feel like 2042 is so empty. The maps are getting seriously repetitive and there are barely any guns. I have dumped over 2000 hours in BF3 and I remember it having 80-90 weapons in it. I could always grind a new weapon, new attatchment or skin. Alternate between LOADS of maps with a perfect mix of close quarter combat and vehicle dominated maps, WITHOUT having to play a different gamemode. I have recently picked up the game again and I am very hopeful for Season 7. But if S7 won’t delicer with the content us oldheads crave then I might have to permanently kill the love for the franchise.
Jack you are genuinely such an inspiration to us you don't even know!!! I feel like i can speak for most people on that, you are so good at any of these games ive seen you play and yet you are still more worried about whether you are enjoying your time on it or not, you don't get upset over deaths (that we see anyway) and its such an enjoyable time watching your content. In a time where content creators are worried about being the best you just want not only yourself but your fans to have a good time. Much love brother, may god bless our days ahead!
I just started playing it again after a few months. Game is so much damn fun now. Glad they got it to where it needs to be but next time get it done from the start not a year later.
I love just hopping in and going Maximum Effort Medic haha. Medics are often terrible so I take pride in going for more revives than kills and keeping everyone topped up, it's so much fun. Way too many medics play too safe and won't run into combat for a revive, so I will always throw my life away to get a few people up lol
I really enjoy the gunplay honestly, it feels pretty good and I do like the maps, especially now they reworked a few of them, really looking forward to future seasons, and to see how they do weapon tuning as the game progresses
THE IS NO FCKN SEASON PASS AVAILABLE IN EUROPE SO I CANT EVEN BUY MORE MAPS GOT THE GAME FOR FREE ON PSN NO WONDER ABSOLUT CRAP IF YOU CHARGE MONEY FOR IT
I’ve played 2042 since launch just about Everday to at least get match of the day xp. It’s been a ride, but at the end of the day I find it enjoyable to just sit down and do whatever you want without having to just sweat kills. If you want you can play transport or medic there’s so much variety depending on how you feel like playing.
Been playing this since bf1942 and secrets of ww2.. we have come a long way this is actually very good game.. had its problems at first.. things got better with updates.. always does.
I played loads of the last season and I hadn't played for almost a year and I really enjoyed it. Got a bit burnt out after 4 or 5 week of playing this and nothing else but stil has it's pro's and cons like any game.
breakthrough and TDM offer that grind feeling when you just want to upgrade weapons and vehicles, then conquest and rush offer a more tactical style for those who wanna get wins and make plays so it offers most of what i want from a multiplayer FPS. just wish it has a 1 life mode like CSGO cuz that would play well with the gadgets and specialists
I Play 2042 because it’s simply a lot of fun. Unlike another FPS game * cough cough* Cod, you don’t just spawn die, spawn die, spawn die every match. You can basically do whatever you want, fly in a jet, get in a heli, you don’t always do the same thing in every match you did last match, you can always do something different, use a different gun if you want, you can do whatever. Plus it’s the only game I can hop on and just chill and still drop 30 kills, it’s not crazy sweaty unlike cod, it’s just fun and since they fixed all the glitches and what not, 2042 has been one of my favorite games to play.
If you like the satisfying aspect of the dogs being groomed, you might like any of the channels where they mow lawns and do landscaping. A lot of them do it for free on properties that are way overgrown, and it is really satisfying to watch the transition and see the end result
I just really love the large scale battles and epic moments that come with it. It's also (like you said in the video) a game where I can turn my brain off and just have some casual fun.
I play BF2042 because I have enjoyed playing Battlefield since 1942. It is a full on FPS game that let's you do anything you want. Started middle of Season 3 because I was not going to play it until they finished it. Now it actually feels like a modern Battlefield which means lots of opportunities to have fun with little effort.
I played bf 2042 the other day for the first time in ages. Then i realised i had to actually think about what I was doing, instead of just playing cod and being brain-dead!
Gameplay feels very smooth imo and I like the balance of game at the moment. I have hope for this game to stay alive. It’s a modern BF title and no other active games really replicate it.
@@LeftJoystick meh. It’s fine because it’s the “hot new toy” but I don’t see it’s longevity to be blunt. Seems like another fad that will be forgotten about given maybe a couple months.
@@thysquid2157 Well then check back in a few months lmao. Community Servers for that game are going to be nuts. Been playing BF since BF 2, Battlebit’s got it.
i'm having more fun playing battlebit than playing bf 2042. Proximity voice chat should be implemented in the next battlefield game, this feature is funny.
I've loved this game from the launch. In the beginning it was so broken but in such fun ways. Driving a hovercraft up a skyscraper & getting caught into a tornado & safely thrown across that map.. Such fun times personally
Jack stops to smell the roses. Love watching him discover new stuff on maps....quite entertaining. "ahhh a snowman!" Like a little kid. lol good stuff.
Ever since Battlebit Remastered finally released on early access, I haven't tried 2042 since the beta. I know much has changed, but it was a little too late imo. Battlebit has shown that the current devs of Battlefield can take notice of.
Honestly jack, if you want some satisfying UA-cam content I highly suggest the rug cleaning videos. They can be REALLY satisfying. Great video as always jack have a good day bud.
I just love to be a random soldier that in the scale of everything doesn’t matter, I don’t feel the pressure to do anything, and I already played the hell out of the other titles, I love this franchise
@@Hablift it is quite literally the same game lol, just because it doesnt have crazy graphics doesnt mean you cant compare the two. battlebit feels like playing battlefield 2 for the first time again but with way more players and more destruction than any BF since like BC2. the future is bright for that game, i cant say the same for the entire BF franchise
@@Hablift one is a buggy mess riddled with broken promises, while the other was made by 3 fucking devs and has more features and better gameplay than bf2042
Couldn't care less about this game, a matter of taste i assume. Personally i jump between BF4 and BF1, still love them both. Like someone asked. Some part of me is still hoping for a remake for Bf3 or BCBC2, even though I know it won't happen. But here I am, watching these videos with excitement. Just can't get enough of Jackfrags, such a genuinely cool dude that makes my days and my life a whole better. Thank you Jack, love you buddy. Cheers from Sweden.

And yeah, the battlepass is very lax, I only play a handful of rounds a week and I'm able to finish the battlepass a week or two before the end of the season.
I think BF used to walk that line but 2042 completely abandoned any notion of realism.
Wish a big tuber would cover PlanetSide 2 so it would take off. Its fantastic once you get through the learning curve.
I recently bought Battlefield 2042 when it was on sale and I do not regret buying it because it's a game where I'm able to get some of the Battlefield experience from previous games and casually complete the battle pass without spending weeks grinding it.
yeah man i agree
I bought it cos it was hella cheap. I got mine for a tenner (ps5 version).
because its fun! always been a BF player and its in a good state at the moment
DICE...look at what Battlebit Remastered has accomplished and simply expand on that at a AAA level. Cut your loses with 2042 and lets get a proper BF game already.
Yep exactly. Battlebit is insane.
Battlefield is a breath of fresh air after streaming cod for so long. Doesn’t feel forced or sweaty but fun. Fun fps games still exist which is awesome 🤘🏻
I enjoy 2042s setting aesthetic. I rarely played though at the start but once they added the Portal weapons like the M16A3 into the base game I had a lot more fun using weapons I like the look of.
I've been having so much on BF 2042 recently. I've gotten so bored of MWII multiplayer. I occasionally play Warzone but BF 2042, even though I play by myself, is so much fun. It feels so awesome when you see all the bullets flying around and the air craft flying over you while there's tanks and other vehicles fighting below you. Theres obviously room for improvement but it's still a fun game and that's the important thing.
NO NEW MAPS TO BUY EVEN IF YOU WANT
ALWAYS THE SAME DAMN BORING MAPS NO SERVER BROWSER NO LOBBYS ON A NORMAL AFTERNOON
THANK GOD I GOT IT FOR FREE ON PSN NEVER SHOULD ANYONE SPEND MONEY ON THIS GAME THERE IS NO ADDED CONTENT WHAT SO EVER
L
I’ve played 2042 on again off again since release. Have over half of the guns T1. What always brings me back though are the “only in battlefield moments”. This game and this franchise is the only on that just provides you with some of the most unique, badass and often times hilarious, moments. No other game can produce moments like that.
What mode are you playing, just got this game installed yesterday and coming from mw2 im lost
As for UA-cam channels, i really love the bearded butchers channel. Full breakdowns of animals, in depth descriptions, cooking tips, just so much and always get weird looks when i talk about it to people hahah worth a shout
Gunplay is really clean feels great to play hope their is many more seasons to come.
I’ve been playing V only and I’m happy with that
Im a Battlefield fan since BF3. I was disappointed with 2042 at launch as everyone was. However, ive never stopped playing and the game has being getting better and better with each update. Its clear that right now the game is so much different, even tweaking or reworking some core features in the game, from what it was at launch. Thats something you cannot say about other games rn. Is it the least Dice could do to save the franchise? Yes. Is it a small task tho? It gives me hope for this and future titles.
i agree yeah man
The BF moments bring me back.
I’ve seen a lot of comments recently saying the game is fixed now, so I wanted to check it myself and it really is. I’m having fun with BF 2042 and I’m glad DICE put some effort into it, pulling the game out of a complete mess.
I have been a huge player since BF 1942 and always will be on this franchise. Keep up making these videos, sir! I enjoy watching them and your commentary is fun. 😊
It's actually fun now. They've done a lot of work since it came out, and it shows.
This
Battlefield always has a special place in my gaming heart, BF4 I had 1300+ hours alone lol so with the latest update it’s bringing good nostalgia back, and I don’t take things a serious now a days just want to kick back and shoot guns lol
I've tried desperately to get into this game as I love previous BF entries but there is just nothing there that grips me. I hope its back to normal next time.
Try BattleBit remastered
Genuinely chill video. Your the goat frags
A really cool channel with amazing story telling and very interesting topics is "The Why Files". Not sure if you're into that kind of thing but after discovering it I can't wait for their weekly new video!
The Why Files is great. Love Hecklefish. Beware the Crab Cat!!!
The battlefield community is SO much better than COD (closest related in my library). That makes a huge difference to me.
Been playing BF since the Codename Eagle days (remember that?). I just love the mix of infantry and vehicle based combat. It's a bit more forgiving than the run and gun games like COD. 2042 isn't the best in the franchise, but DICE have done really well with improving the game compared to how it was launched. Was the same for BF4, BF1 and BF:V tho - dodgy launch but got better - will they ever learn? In terms of weirdly interesting UA-cam channels, I love watching Hoon's Coffee - a guy in the US making coffee at home - it's got a real chill vibe and he has a very calming voice. Worth checking out if you want coffee tips, or just to chill. Keep up the great work Jack - you're smashing it.
I was a Cod only fps player for a majority of my life and I heard so much about and watched so many great videos about bf4 up unto 2018 or so .... got bf4 and got absolutely addicted .. then bf1 then bf5 and 2042 just came next and I just kept playing. Lol
Nice Jack 😎 good to see some footage. I ditched cod a week ago and been on this since. Getting into it more now, definitely the best cod alternative for me.
The latest update is what brought me back. Before that, I was off and on 2042. Hopefully dice continues supporting it
I avoided the game at first with how it launched but I can honestly say that the game is in a good state right now. I’ve been playing BF since BC2 days so Ive always had a love for the franchise! I would argue that BF2042 is a much better place now than MW2 is. Just a fun shooter to hop on with friends, I do hope with future games that they go back to basics and also better destruction, I miss leveling entire buildings!
It’s not in a good state for pc lol I can’t even load into a game without the damn thing crashing.
BF 2042 is just fun. No SBMM. Your K/D is irrelevant. You can play it any which way you want. If you want to be a sweaty pilot, a camping sniper, a gung ho killstreakseeker or a maniac vehicle hunter is completely up to you. And once in a while you get those Battlefield moments that you can't get in other games.
I bought the game about 2 months back. I am really enjoying it so far, it is definitely the best battlefield of the best couple of years (to me). Even though bf3 and bf4 have allot of nostalgia for me, I do sometimes think this is becoming my favourite bf. I feel like with the edition of Portal they should not make a games at the same rate as normal, because it has so much potential.
As far as i have heard from the release, the game has improved immensely, and the devs have been doing a great job.
I do really miss the dog tag colleting (from knives & challenges).
I also just feel like b3-4 medals felt so achieving, but that might just be the age, and the friends that the achievement were shared with.
I just got BF2042 a few days ago(BF Sale)... and its the most fun I've had in a multiplayer game in a while. I die more that I kill, but It's still loads of fun.
All those statements you said why we play it are true. More fun than CoDMW2 and Halo. I keep buying battle pass too. The maps are always evolving. And the maps change weather or layouts from damage or weather. I swap between 2042 and Star Wars Battlefront 2.
I am genuinely having so much fun playing BF2042 right now, and that’s not something I saw myself saying a year ago. Every time I go play COD right now I can’t wait to play this game afterwards to actually have some fun gaming.
After playing Battlebit, which has very little aimcone, I'm questioning if I should even return to BF2042.
My number one gripe with this game is that you can get your reticle on someone, control recoil well, but then still have to pray that your bullets end up hitting them past close-mid range.
BB has so many features that BF fans wanted for years but they never added. You can't tank camp, you can drag players, talk to anyone close to you, a real building mechanic (unlike BFV), way more customization, full destruction etc...
@@tuelzalt even BFV building would be an improvement
I wanna love this game so bad. I started playing Battlefield 2, almost all the titles up to BFV but I just feel like 2042 is so empty. The maps are getting seriously repetitive and there are barely any guns. I have dumped over 2000 hours in BF3 and I remember it having 80-90 weapons in it. I could always grind a new weapon, new attatchment or skin. Alternate between LOADS of maps with a perfect mix of close quarter combat and vehicle dominated maps, WITHOUT having to play a different gamemode. I have recently picked up the game again and I am very hopeful for Season 7. But if S7 won’t delicer with the content us oldheads crave then I might have to permanently kill the love for the franchise.
BF 2042 can be only fun if you play with friends, doesnt feel the same with strangers
The game is starting to feel fun. It just lacks content (maps especially). Hopefully with the next season things will get better.
Jack you are genuinely such an inspiration to us you don't even know!!! I feel like i can speak for most people on that, you are so good at any of these games ive seen you play and yet you are still more worried about whether you are enjoying your time on it or not, you don't get upset over deaths (that we see anyway) and its such an enjoyable time watching your content. In a time where content creators are worried about being the best you just want not only yourself but your fans to have a good time. Much love brother, may god bless our days ahead!
I just started playing it again after a few months. Game is so much damn fun now. Glad they got it to where it needs to be but next time get it done from the start not a year later.
battle bit has more players than 2042.....let that sink in for a sec.
I love just hopping in and going Maximum Effort Medic haha. Medics are often terrible so I take pride in going for more revives than kills and keeping everyone topped up, it's so much fun.
Way too many medics play too safe and won't run into combat for a revive, so I will always throw my life away to get a few people up lol
I really enjoy the gunplay honestly, it feels pretty good and I do like the maps, especially now they reworked a few of them, really looking forward to future seasons, and to see how they do weapon tuning as the game progresses
THE IS NO FCKN SEASON PASS AVAILABLE IN EUROPE SO I CANT EVEN BUY MORE MAPS GOT THE GAME FOR FREE ON PSN NO WONDER ABSOLUT CRAP IF YOU CHARGE MONEY FOR IT
I’ve played 2042 since launch just about Everday to at least get match of the day xp. It’s been a ride, but at the end of the day I find it enjoyable to just sit down and do whatever you want without having to just sweat kills. If you want you can play transport or medic there’s so much variety depending on how you feel like playing.
Been playing this since bf1942 and secrets of ww2.. we have come a long way this is actually very good game.. had its problems at first.. things got better with updates.. always does.
One channel I watch, which you wouldn't expect me (or anyone) to watch is called Tomographic.
At this moment in time. Explain why I should buy and play this over BF4?
Literally no reason. Stay on BF4. This game is truly insulting
I played loads of the last season and I hadn't played for almost a year and I really enjoyed it. Got a bit burnt out after 4 or 5 week of playing this and nothing else but stil has it's pro's and cons like any game.
breakthrough and TDM offer that grind feeling when you just want to upgrade weapons and vehicles, then conquest and rush offer a more tactical style for those who wanna get wins and make plays so it offers most of what i want from a multiplayer FPS. just wish it has a 1 life mode like CSGO cuz that would play well with the gadgets and specialists
I Play 2042 because it’s simply a lot of fun. Unlike another FPS game * cough cough* Cod, you don’t just spawn die, spawn die, spawn die every match. You can basically do whatever you want, fly in a jet, get in a heli, you don’t always do the same thing in every match you did last match, you can always do something different, use a different gun if you want, you can do whatever. Plus it’s the only game I can hop on and just chill and still drop 30 kills, it’s not crazy sweaty unlike cod, it’s just fun and since they fixed all the glitches and what not, 2042 has been one of my favorite games to play.
If you like the satisfying aspect of the dogs being groomed, you might like any of the channels where they mow lawns and do landscaping. A lot of them do it for free on properties that are way overgrown, and it is really satisfying to watch the transition and see the end result
the fuck you talking about
I just really love the large scale battles and epic moments that come with it. It's also (like you said in the video) a game where I can turn my brain off and just have some casual fun.
I play BF2042 because I have enjoyed playing Battlefield since 1942. It is a full on FPS game that let's you do anything you want. Started middle of Season 3 because I was not going to play it until they finished it. Now it actually feels like a modern Battlefield which means lots of opportunities to have fun with little effort.
I played bf 2042 the other day for the first time in ages. Then i realised i had to actually think about what I was doing, instead of just playing cod and being brain-dead!
Gameplay feels very smooth imo and I like the balance of game at the moment. I have hope for this game to stay alive.
It’s a modern BF title and no other active games really replicate it.
Have you missed Battlebit’s ridiculous rise in these last couple days? 40k+ concurrent players. Progression similar to BF4.
@@LeftJoystick meh.
It’s fine because it’s the “hot new toy” but I don’t see it’s longevity to be blunt. Seems like another fad that will be forgotten about given maybe a couple months.
@@LeftJoysticknah
@@thysquid2157 Well then check back in a few months lmao. Community Servers for that game are going to be nuts. Been playing BF since BF 2, Battlebit’s got it.
I just love Battlefield and this games is getting better and better
i'm having more fun playing battlebit than playing bf 2042. Proximity voice chat should be implemented in the next battlefield game, this feature is funny.
Yeah, I requested it every time I filled out a survey regarding Battlefield 2042. Proximity voice chat is a must in a shooter game.
Ahh, Girl with the Dogs is such a cool and chill channel to watch! My wife and I love that channel.
I've loved this game from the launch. In the beginning it was so broken but in such fun ways. Driving a hovercraft up a skyscraper & getting caught into a tornado & safely thrown across that map.. Such fun times personally
Jack stops to smell the roses. Love watching him discover new stuff on maps....quite entertaining. "ahhh a snowman!" Like a little kid. lol good stuff.
Ever since Battlebit Remastered finally released on early access, I haven't tried 2042 since the beta. I know much has changed, but it was a little too late imo. Battlebit has shown that the current devs of Battlefield can take notice of.
Modest pelican in the best UA-camr on the site
It’s fun, controlled chaos. If you took specialists away I think it’d really shine
Honestly jack, if you want some satisfying UA-cam content I highly suggest the rug cleaning videos. They can be REALLY satisfying. Great video as always jack have a good day bud.
I barely play now since I got hooked on Chivalry 2
I just love to be a random soldier that in the scale of everything doesn’t matter, I don’t feel the pressure to do anything, and I already played the hell out of the other titles, I love this franchise
You're not a random soldier though your a hero with copy's of you on your team and enemy team running around 😅
With BattlenBit remastered out? No way.
Yo this was yesterdays match!! 5:42-5:54 you can see my gamertag as well "Arcanum Order" haha! Knew it was you, awesome stuff
i stopped playing this game after i discovered battlebit
Different game dude. You cant compare that pixel with this
@@Hablift it is quite literally the same game lol, just because it doesnt have crazy graphics doesnt mean you cant compare the two. battlebit feels like playing battlefield 2 for the first time again but with way more players and more destruction than any BF since like BC2. the future is bright for that game, i cant say the same for the entire BF franchise
@@Hablift one is a buggy mess riddled with broken promises, while the other was made by 3 fucking devs and has more features and better gameplay than bf2042
its been a while. but its always fun to watch you mate
I don’t play this game because I can play battlebit
Couldn't care less about this game, a matter of taste i assume. Personally i jump between BF4 and BF1, still love them both. Like someone asked. Some part of me is still hoping for a remake for Bf3 or BCBC2, even though I know it won't happen. But here I am, watching these videos with excitement. Just can't get enough of Jackfrags, such a genuinely cool dude that makes my days and my life a whole better. Thank you Jack, love you buddy. Cheers from Sweden.
Battlebit is not the Battlefield we asked for but the one we need. Way better than the current state of battlefield
It’s the first FPS since MW3 (2011) that I’ve truly enjoyed playing. Has its quirks but I have a great time playing it with friends
naaa I got disgusted with this game, I can barely watch the video.
I respect 2042.
In an era of competetive, esport, battle royale shooter games, 2042 still feels like Battlefield. and NOTHING beats Battlefield.
It may not be best in battlefield franchise but it is a great shooter currently we have right now compared to other shooters
Shout out to Squid G for taking the lead and carrying the torch in the Battlefield Content Community w this title. Good Reminder to Have Fun While Gaming!
Started playing 2042 again, and honestly with all the updates since launch it’s fun and enjoyable to play
I don't even play battlefield. I did for maybe 20 hours a few titles ago. I just watch because you're entertaining and talented. Maybe ill give 2042 a go.
