Battlefield 2042

sure, it's brainless fun for a while. until you realize the only time you ever stood a chance was against randomly inserted AI bots. the players are a bunch of crazy kids who couldn't figure out how to operate a turnstile, but shoot you in the head with a SPAS-12 across the whole map while shuffling through their inventory and watching netflix, youtube and tiktok simultaneously.

map design is so often overlooked and its quite horrible here. I miss BC2 rush days so bad. At least it shows up in the portal sometimes

The Battlefield formula--the moment to moment action, the way it feels, the modes that are there, the intensity of the battles, the environmental destruction, etc.--still work, so it gets a pass on that. But there's not enough content to warrant the money. This is lazy in comparison to the other ones. I'm sure more will be added in time but I won't be going back.
