Battlefield 2042 Season 1 Being Revealed Tomorrow

?

But that is what they did. They put out a statement and everything that they were delaying the seasons and new content to work on the game.
I mean, they didn’t admit to fucking the game up to the extent they did. In addition to that, they only released this much content in season one, just delay the season further and bring more content with it.

Pissing people off in the short term with another delay to bring more substantial content seems better to me than pissing people off with a bare bones season one package.

I doubt they can keep delaying content anymore, it's already going to be an impossible task for bring people back. This is literally the content that was going to launch long ago, and if they had to shift to working on the game rather than content, then they are going to get stuck having to put ANOTHER apology and delay out? Nah that was never going to work. This alone is not gonna help much and adding another delay to put out a bigger season 1 would just make things even worse.

The content for the four seasons is likely already lined out and planned, this game will probably never see more than that as it's what they committed to. The playerbase was already up in arms around the 7 month delay on the season, another was going to kill off the last remaining handful of players left.
 
i'll get hate for this but rather just see a battlefield hardline 2 or some return to the bad company series. battlefield i feel is way too sterile and takes itself too seriously, the bad company /hardline aesthetic definitely lightened things up and made the game more fun
Hardline's take on conquest mode was actually pretty fun. You know, the one with the moving flags in the cars. I loved that.

So they really did it.

They even made it extra barren and empty.
I'm actually impressed. They got balls.

Imagine supporting this game or this team.

And before the few clowns in here start clowning again and defending DICE and saying how this is the same it's always been, know that even BF5(!!!!) got a whole singleplayer War Story and Panzerstorm multiplayer map and a practice range on month 3 after release.
Then a month later they introduced a new game mode Squad Conquest and 4 new weapons and another tank in the following 2 weeks.
Then in another two weeks they introduced PVE mode Combined Arms that you could play solo or coop.
Then in another two weeks they released Firestorm mode.
Then we got a few months of mostly bug fixes and balancing. and within these 6 months another 2 maps and 2 weapons.
Then in next two months we got the Pacific content with 2 new maps and 4 weapons, 2 new factions, 8 vehicles, 2 planes, two reinforcement tanks and a bunch of quality of life improvements.

5 maps, 1 war story, 3 game modes, 12 weapons, 11 vehicles, 2 planes in the first 11 months! And it was considered a pretty bad content drop at the time, especially comparing the previous titles.

What we will get in the first 11 months in 2042:
1 (one) map, 2 (two) weapons, 2 (two) choppers, 1 (one) operator.

Anyone even peeps any "bbbbut BF5..." or whatever the fuck kind of coping delusion you got saved up in those smooth brain of yours im gonna come over there and bitch slap your bitch ass back to 2011 so you can remember what DICE used to be all about.

Not the best screenshot to use. Multiple videos out already show plenty of cover on the map. Even the trailer shows this.

Battlefield 2042's Season 1 "Zero Hour" update drops June 9 and it brings a new map, new specialist, new weapons, quality of life changes, and an all new battlepass. The Season 1 update is free, minus the battlepass, and will be available to everyone on the 9th. Here's everything you need to know about Battlefield 2042's big season 1 content drop.

It really doesn't resemble Battlefield anymore. It looks like some sort of Apex Legends with vehicles or something. It's a shame Squad doesn't come to console (I know it'd be hard with all the button mappings but they could find a way).

So they withheld content from the players so they could sell it later as season content? Apart from the fact that the team has overreached and has no idea about the essence of the Battlefield series and had to cancel some content because it was not ready, this is already a cheeky move that does not deserve any support.

So they withheld content from the players so they could sell it later as se

its free....

The content wasn't done at launch and the redesign of those maps came later on, which means its likely this map was also changed from what it was originally. So...this whole "withheld content" makes zero sense as a claim.

EA gains....what from this exactly? Its free...

Its even worse as some evil "genius" plans as what the fuck would they then gain from fucking LESS people playing the game? So....if they wanted to sell as much MTX or maps or something, it would be very fast after release before the drop of players or something, not fucking months later for free. I see no evidence that map was ready to go to argue "withheld" as this fucking game has so many issues, I fucking doubt this map was 100% working and functional and was just "withheld" for fun and lolz.

has no idea about the essence of the Battlefield series and had to cancel some content because it was not ready
lol oooorrrrrr the original content didn't have the um "essence of battlefield" thus they had to get rid of some content that didn't fucking have the essence of Battlefield, plus its being redesigned right now, which would mean what ever content they had before launch, shouldn't even fucking release as is if you are just crying about it not fitting the "essence of Battlefield".

To bring it out shortly after launch is to cry about that shit being broken, poorly designed etc

To bring it out later with that feedback and redesign I'd argue is better for everyone regarding this whole thing. So free sounds like the right price to me lol

I told you was gonna get slapped. And you gonna get slapped again if you don't post in good faith and read the entire post.
And honestly I don't even care about the lack of cover in Exposure or anything about it. It could be the best map in 2042 for all I care. It's everything else that's a problem.

Yeah, must admit I found games ok on the main screen. Have not tried the Season 1 update yet

same.

Will be awhile until I have the time to check out that new map as I'm currently pretty busy. Will wait until the first 2 updates of the updates of the patch, of the update to fix the last update lol

Played one hour today but didn't get to play the new map. The game is running better since the last Hotfix. I noticed that the game is taking longer to load. Didn't have a chance to troubleshoot my computer.

I think a lot of these service games are running into the same issue. They come out with minimal content, banking of the idea that the new content will come out “eventually”. They underestimate how long it will take for them to make that content, and by the time the content has come out, most of the audience has left, and then the publisher has to explain to share holders why their giant investment is missing its profit goals. Same thing happened to battlefield, that happened to halo infinite, that happened to marvels avengers. Basically, unless your something as big as cod, or you cut your teeth long enough to make it work like destiny 2, then gaas is traaash

So BF2042 has cross progression, meaning your level and unlocks persist regardless of what platform you're playing on.

The Battle Pass isn't. It's locked to a specific platform.
 
I see people got used to fortnite having a season of changes every quarter, and a lot of games adapting that.

Watched the 2042 video of Russianbadger and it hurts a bit. So many of us had hopes with this one, only to get fucked by EA. God I wish they would lose more licenses, now that they've lost fifa (and star wars?)
