Battlefield 2042

No big IP is launching on game pass day 1 when it can sell millions and then get a check.

Despite being pretty disappointed by the beta I’m still very interested in this game. I just want this to be good. I don’t think they will manage to get it fixed for launch but probably down the line. BFV is in a pretty great spot right now and plays very well. I bet without covid this would look much better right now

Didn’t Dice say this was months old? With that in mind I would say it isn’t too bad at all. If the game itself right now I like this…that would be bad.

Yeah and they even delayed putting it out, which could have been because they were waiting on when COD and Halo’s would be, so not to clash with them. Though it could have been them knowing what a bad representation of their game it was and looking at possibly trying to make time to do a better build based on where they were, or maybe not release one at all. But the fact that they tied the beta access in to pre-orders would have made that a no-go

Basically there are reasons why when they say this is an old build, I believe them. And again, it was a bad move on their end to back themselves in to a corner where they ended up having to put it out there. As true as it may prove to be that the launch build could be in way better shape than the beta, most people will react extremely negatively to a bad beta. I mean just scroll up

And they should know that

What lol halo reach did not have a rough beta. I played 100 hrs of it, and it was more polished than most full games, probably more polished than the infinite tech tests.

Was it ODST, or 4 I was thinking of then?..did ODST even have one?

Like I said it’s hard to remember that kind of thing, so many years later

…At least for me, apparently not for you :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Odst didn’t have a typical multiplayer at all

ODST has the best Halo Multiplayer mode ever made - original Firefight. Limited health. Limited lives. Bonus rounds. Large maps with vehicles.

Firefight good

Ayyyy I know you from Twitter. Welcome to the forum!

And yeah, really hoping firefight returns to Infinite although I’m skeptical it’ll be there at launch.

I remember playing bf4 again a couple of years after it released and it felt amazing. The problem was that it still had a lot of bad blood from the release where there were quite a few issues. Gamers will forgive minor issues but the big stuff will just mean the game loses momentum way too quickly

Hopefully these data drives contain all the bugfixes and missing features…/s

Man, they really go in depth on explaining why the beta was the way it was and all the improvements they’ve already made to the game

I don’t know guys…Porderick may have been right. They never should have had that beta, but it also doesn’t mean the game will release anywhere near that shaky…We shall see

I know I’m providing plenty of receipts for you guys to throw back at me later, if I’m wrong. Just know I’ve kept yours

They would earn a lot of good will with free 5 hour play sessions at release to show what it’s really like. This would alleviate a lot of concerns and sway those on the fence.

As it stands now, there will be other issues to be had even if all the open beta issues are fixed. That’s merely the way of BF, going off history.

You get 10 hours via ea play lol.
