On vacation so I can’t check this out just yet - I’ve found myself falling into BF2042 in a way that I haven’t since BF3/4. I know there’s been a ton of criticism since launch, but it’s been a blast for the lost few months.

The game is in a pretty good spot right now. There’s still some traces of half-baked stuff, but they adjusted a lot of stuff since launch, especially the maps which have almost all been rebuilt.

Gameplay is really good so if you’re not weirded out by the mish-mash of weapons, it’s a lot of fun !
