Battlefield 2042

I just fired it up after several months, I should not have to spend 15 minutes searching for and then executing a code deletion in order to get the x axis working on my mouse in order to look around the map from left to right. I must say , the game is beautiful at 3840 x 1600 on Ultra settings.

I have fun in the game playing with a buddy on Discord from time to time. Tanks/APCs can do OK if you have at least one person with a repair tool (rare unless you play with friends on Discord) and you engage appropriately, i.e. not pushing ahead of team/front line. I find good pilots are hard to take down, little bird/HIND/transport included, unless you have at least 3-4 people shooting missles or an AA working with you.

It's a in a decent state these days for what it is, but glad I only paid $25 for it (of money I had from selling random inventory crap on Steam).

Got my new PC up and running and I just played a little bit of BF2042 for the first time! I had a lot of fun. I never tried it when it launched but I imagine it has come a long way from all the horrible reviews at launch, because this seems like a great game.

I really like it. The vehicles are really fun. I especially like the transport vehicle that converts from hover to jet. All the vehicles are fun and can be effective. This is as much a battlefield game now as any of the others. It needs a few maps, but the bones are really good.

It is a shame they botched the launch. This game needed another year in development.

Nice, I haven't even really gotten into vehicles yet! I just played for an hour last night. I fared a lot better than I did in BF1 (which is also a fun game), I guess I suck with iron sights lol
 
Been having fun playing with a buddy, both deploy as Lis and just team up on armor with TV missiles/C5, adding Rorsch to that to harass pilots will be awesome. Usually end up winning conquest because we are annoying enough that enemy armor focuses on us instead of capturing objectives.
I had no idea they'd added a specialist with...a shoulder fired TV missile. Jaysus.

I'm guessing its been nerfed since this video was recorded 2 months ago though, when half a team can camp a map spamming TVs (that are FAR easier to guide than previous BF games from the looks of it).

 
After a few days of playing, I've finalled learned how the wingsuit works! I always assumed that if you could control the up/down pitch, it would be the mouse, but it's the keyboard, durp. It's a blast to fly around! And to stop flying momentarily to shoot enemies then start flying again is insanely fun!
 
I swear the franchise has just turned into a "who's the biggest griefing piece of shit" competition enabled by a developer that has no idea what they're doing anymore.
 
I'm glad I retired from Battlefield after BF4. That spawn camping shit doesn't look like fun.

I do miss playing infantry only on BF2 PC when I wanted a break from being a tanker or attack chopper pilot.
 
20 something hours of play and I’m finally starting to hit my stride. Just played a few matches and finished top 5 & 7 (64player) on two winning teams and number 1 on a losing team with 25-12 K/D and 6 captures!

This game is a blast and it’s even more fun now that I don’t feel so lame. I switch between the AC-42 and the RM68. At first I didn’t get the hype with the RM68 but once you get it spec’d out, it’s quite formidable!

I’ve been playing exclusively as sundance, I just love her wingsuit. Smart bombs aren’t bad either.

I haven’t had this much fun in an FPS with BCBF2!

Back in the BF2 days on the Gulf of Oman map I would fly a MEC copter to the Marine aircraft carrier, parachute aboard with a sniper rifle and find a spot near the flight desk so I could snipe players spawning in a F35. Those players would try to hunt me but I would leave a claymore near me or jump overside then get aboard elsewhere in the carrier then return to snipe some more.

Good times!!
