Fired up Battlefield 2042 again for the first time since they dropped the first season. It ends in 4 days.
The shittiest thing is that without cross-play, it is nearly impossible to get into games with other people. Naturally, KBM will dominate controllers without even needing to try, doesn't make things very fun.
So I played bot rounds. The bots on harder difficulty are FUCKING INSANE. Can't remember the names of the difficulties, but going from "normal" to "medium/hard" is a HUGE difference.
Anyway, the reworked maps are actually excellent. There is more cover, it actually looks like a war zone, etc. Before, sight lines were so long, 85% of team comps were snipers.
The drip feed of reworking maps will not result in bringing back a decent player base at all. In addition, at the start of season 3, they are going back to the dedicated class system that makes Battlefield great. Specialists will still exist, but will be listed as a certain class, with gadget restrictions based on class. Finally. But that's the future. They are continuing to re-work maps, but at a slower pace.
The player base on console is nearly non-existent. At least there's bots I guess.
