They ain't doing anything. When you see a big studio like EA/DICE make an announcement like this, the delay is due to massive staff cut backs because the game isn't bringing in the money that it should have.
you're just guessing, just like I'm guessing. warzone had many season delays, so did fornite. it wasn't because they are scraping the game. Like I said, hopefully they are doing serious work, but again I'm not going to be surprised either way. not sure why you're interested in this game so much, you don't own or play it lol
It was EA's big holiday release title and it's already down to 5k players on steam. The game is a complete failure. Even BF5 is up in the Top 100 list on Steam, and that's only steam numbers. BF5 is included in normal EA Play so it has decent player counts.
cool?
Have fun with your 2042. You'll be waiting for those season updates a LONG time.
I know the odds are against me, but I hope they turn this thing in the right direction
Game isn't even lasting now. Lol
Its EA, everyone should know better, but its never to late to abandon hope and embrace the beast that is EA.
It wasn't rushed, Dice/EA released what they saw as a "finished" product.
Warzones player counts were and are much higher, even with delays.
There was a SimCity 5?
Exactly this. The transcript from the earnings call last quarter had EA boasting about how far ahead of schedule BF2042 was.
Yeah, it was called Simcity, but it was the 5th official game. It was a massive cluster from EA. Anyone who bought the game in the first few months ended up getting 2 (might have been 3) free games in the EA catalog as an apology.
Hello Games is small enough that the people have to care, it's their company.
Hello Games is graphically and animation basic, DICE/EA isn't. I'm not excusing Dice or EA, but its a lot easier to polish a game when you are not throwing millions of dollars at generating assets to look pretty, but rather generating content to be fun. Its a broader problem of the industry at large as well.
Unreal engine is terrible when it comes to faster multiplayer first person shooters.
I wish.
I'm 172hrs in, and although I still have fun, its simply not a game that I can play, every day, for hours at a time. Caveat, I found that I could level up my weapons and have a much more satisfying experience with fully unlocked weapons, by "Single Player Bot Agriculture" mode. Jumping into a PUG solo with rando's is an incredibly frustrating experience.
Who says it can't? It can handle 60 players in Apex legends just fine so with some optimisation more should also be possible.
Oh okay, thanks for your expert knowledge.
This! Although Respawn heavily changed most of the source code, but it definitely still has the feel of Source engine.
Still doesn't even have a scoreboard. Maps are still the same. Same annoying operators or whatever they are called. Less than 5k players according to Steam, so at best maybe 15k-20k players total through EA Play.
I believe they've largely abandoned it. This is playing out the same as Anthem, if not worse. They know what their numbers are, and EA has likely already pulled the plug on major funding. They likely have a life-support dev team to keep the game functioning, and that's it. The best case scenario for the people that want this game to succeed is that all the after-release developers have been pulled to basically remake this game from the ground up so they can release a 'fixed' version this summer or something. However, knowing EA, I highly doubt that.
BF4?
squad?
