Battlefield 2042 Is Cancelled... 

I made a pact to not buy the next BF for over $50. Which means on sale.

Thank you. Be wise folks. Stop pre orders

I'm not even gonna buy it till months after release. Season 7 is what the game should have released as. Personally I made it from beta to season 1 only. Here it's pretty fun now. I just stopped playing FPS games because it's just depressing at this point😅

I didn’t buy 2042 until it was $10

just dont pre-order anything. pre-orders existed when it was physical copies. youd pre-order a copy to secure yours on release in case the game sold out. thats the whole point of a pre-order. pre-ordering a digital copy makes no sense at all. i didnt pre-order physical copies back in the day because there was still the chance that it was poor, but at least it had a reason to exist in that, if you didnt and the game was super popular, like og MW2 for example, you could potentially be waiting days if not weeks for the opportunity to pick the game up. with the games industry how it is these days, and updates to games being much easier to distribute, devs have become lazy. back in the ps2 days, the game had to be perfect at launch as there was no way to fix it once copies of the game were being made

It had a scoreboard at launch, but it was some weird "innovation" on the classic scoreboard for some reason.

It launched barely working at all. Such a step backwards from BFV.

Overwatch?

​@@CitizenKangbf5 was dogwater at launch too lmao

And squad chat

Yeah lol I used to spam the spot button everytime when I see an enemy XD Rest in peace, BF2042, you were underrated... At least its not fully dead, like Gran Turismo Sport's shutdown in late January...

@@Epsilon2042 Still playing it, here. There's always something new going on and a special event for special gear. They're just dropping "official seasons", apparently, but they literally said they're going to keep the new content coming and continuing new events for new gear/weapons/etc.

But yeah, I like playing as Boris and calling in a Ranger (the dog) and dropping a Sentry gun and having me, a sentry gun and a robo dog just spotting and shooting at everything lol.

@@JustAGuy85 Yeah I was relieaved when they said that, instead of the panic-inducing game shutdown I though was gonna happen...

@@Epsilon2042 Right lol? Which I guess it won't be too long before it ends up like the others. I mean, as far as I know, BF 4 only runs on private/personal servers. You can see them in the server browser, but yeah, EA/Dice doesn't host servers for that game. I assume BF1 is the same. BF5 does have official servers, actually, though, right? Could have sworn it did last time I hopped in there.

I liked the idea of commander and it was neat but i didnt like using another device just to play it.

@@zeroa69 Agreed. but say there is a dedicated commander mode, that synchronizes with current games that allow commander mode, to take control.

"This game still amaze me" *Generic thumbnail with a weapon animation*

He’s gotta make a living. I don’t fault these guy for doing what the algo forces them too. But yeah they all do the same thing, lol. Meta gun, this game is closing down, this game was a hidden gem, etc. I imagine the content creators don’t love having to cater to the RU-vid algo also.

@@ryanjettonthey don’t have to cater to the algo. They can make good content and people with find it. Also Jack has a large enough base he could make whatever type of video he wants

Glad I’m not the only one who thinks this.

To be fair that sums up the battlefield community I see people saying BF5 is is actually good

It already is permanently ruined. Just look at the player base of older games. They're higher than newer titles. I'm still playing BF4 because I don't wanna play 2042.

I thought 2024 was the final nail on the coffin.

Yup they need to learn from this horrifying experience and go back to their roots. They should use BF3/4 as a template. It would be so easy to do! Screw the “live service” gimmick and take a page from Helldivers book and just release a great game at its core. THATS the winning strategy in the modern gaming sphere.

Last good bf was bc2

2042 already ruined it.

They don't aim at making good or long living games, there is no profit in that. They make cheap and quick products regularly, cutting off content and recycling as many assets they can. Sadly, as long as the people will keep buying any crap they make, there won't be any improvement

I was a Beta tester in Northern Strike, boy that was fun times. BF 2142 should have had another DLC but ea bought 🎲, and canned it.. The most loyal players was these BF 2142 players, they still play the game. With all maps ever made..

They should remake Firestorm, but after the game is finished and been out for a while. Give people a chance to get used to the mechanics for several months, then drop it out of nowhere. For as much as they tried to copy COD, they really did do a 💩 job...

EA really just doesn't understand that standing out and offering a unique experience is the only way to survive in a super saturated gaming market, they see Warzone making a gazzilion dollars and the only lesson they can think is I want that. instead giving the creatives enough room to actually make something no one else is giving.

But free to play BR targeted at 8 year olds is what brings in the dollars for investors. What? You think they care about making good games anymore? That’s so 2015. 😂

​@@LordVader69420firestorm died almost immediately. No one played it. Same with whatever tarkov copy they made with 2042

Agreed. Battlefield already tried to do a battle royale mode with Firestorm and no one in the community wanted to play it. Doing another battle royale mode for the next entry would be a gigantic waste of money and resources. The focus should only be exclusively on franchise legacy game modes ONLY.

Should have been the future of battlefield games. Combined rush and conquest perfectly.

100% I second this. Felt part of such a large narrative. BF1 operations is to this day one of the greatest gaming experiences I’ve ever had

Felt like you fought for cause and not just go all on cod simulator with huge maps

Nope they will do battleroyal

Loved the story added to it. Gave the scenario more depth. Make a deep game, not a wide and shallow one.

Same developer who made 5 and 2042.

They have gone creative like they were and made THE FINALS. 🤟

Bf5 is really good gameplay wise, its the executives that call the big shots. If BF5 followed the more popular ww2 stories and didnt use dumb cosmetics the game would be on par with bf4

@@axelbrackeniers5488 agree with you on BFV, game came out amazing . If they somehow had a D-Day type operations then that would have been so good.

​@@RahulinMotion Yeah been having a blast with that game, DICE is dead

it was and is a fucking hero shooter lol. It was originally supposed to be just the Battle Royale 💀 game was fucked from conception

Well since the original DICE team doesn't exist anymore they're just trying to make their own fortnite.

They are probably going to try and copy HD2

can you say that also with modern warfare or any call of duty games. I don't think so

@@thingonathinginathing I think that's exactly it. Almost ALL the long time game devs left within the first few months of Battlefiel V's release, so it was almost entirely Battlefield newbie devs working on 2042, and yeah they just followed industry trends and tried to make their own FN.

Team tactics means the game will have at least 1 player on each team. Explosive gameplay means the game will have 1 grenade on launch. Don't expect anything more than this

Hopefully Dice will come back to bf5. This game has a huge potential that they missed

@@roberti1343 I doubt it, they never go back to fixing pass games

I stuck with BF5 until the end. It was arguably the best game in the franchise if you played until the end. It had the best vehicle play by far and was so balanced.

When the game was actually getting good and they started to listen. It's like they doing this on purpose now as marketing for next game.

When it was starting to get better then they cut the damn update. WTF Dice?!

Don't ever pre-order any game.

yepp never again. regardless of how the game is now 2042 was unacceptable at launch. ill give it a month or two before any potential purchase

All? Geeez you people need to stop calling yourself gamers if you people only buy and play the same 2 games every year 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@KingJohnMichael ye nobody has a problem with that , people play games to enjoy them alongside their lives ,not be called gamers

You pre-ordered a game published by EA? LOL hilarious

The assault boats were my favorite vehicle ever

That too all the while working on BF1 which was incredibly immersive

BF4 is still playable. PC has a great dedicated player base.

It's been that way ever since. The Euro division of DICE makes a lame eurostyle game (Europeans don't know why war is cool btw), and when they need to make the next mainline they give it to the American division and they actually care and know what cool is, so you get a lot of love from LA.

​@@PROAmateur01Xbox is still playable, most days, as well. There's generally always a DLC server up and a vanilla one.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It really is this simple, they don't need to reinvent the wheel. BF4 was awesome, just splice in the new parts of BFV and you're onto a winner.

Apparently, that's easier said than done...

Totally agree Bf4

I don’t know which character in 2042 ended up dying with the bomb and the boat, but Battlefield 6 should be what happened if it was the other choice and just give me a sequel to 4 that’s NOT this….

In retrospect BFV was really good (at the end) I loved the gunplay and even the cosmetics were good especially compared to what BF2042 offered

I dread 2143, if that's what they're doing

it's time to accept the fact that the beloved battlefield franchise has met the same unfortunate fate as call of duty.

A lot !

@@mikaeldahlqvist399some initial leaked stuff seems to point to modern day

@@SexyFacecod is, at the very least, still incredibly popular.

Exactly my thoughts. I loved 3 and 1

bf4 was literally the same game as bf3 but with the color correction turned down. you would only see a difference if you were console only and the jump from ps3/360 to ps4/one made it so you can finally play the full game. bf1 gameplay was lacking but it was way polished

BF5 was when it started to deviate. In fact, I'm gonna go ahead and say BF3 is when it started to deviate and regress. As I remember, in BF2, we had an active player based commander role that could authorize supply drops and artillery strikes and squads had 6 people in it. 3 and 4 didnt have that. I've noticed, every iteration of BF since BF2 has been removing features and we got to a point in 2042 where they removed the scoreboard. Wtf is happening? Bring back the commander role and make squads bigger ffs. Most people playing today will see that as innovative, lol.

@@TheNab89 BF3 is when it started to deviate and regress? Oh, please... all BF games are great before BF3 (BFH

Looks like you neglected to mention Hardline😂

just olds man..

Yeah problem is 12 yo Kevins don't want this nowadays. They are looking for Fortnite copies. And EA is here to sell , not satisfy its fan base. Still I hope BF6 will be a love letter, for real.

@@brokernagy9038 im 17 and still play the game its imo the best game out there

It got an fps boost on series x. Its wonderful

Dont forget about bf4!

​@@shock_clutch_1806a resolution boost to BF4 or BF3 for the current gen consoles would be a godsend

@@SquashMelendezdoes the resolution change? I know it’s 120fps on the series x but was wondering about the resolution

Especially if the release is planned for 2025, that does not give developers a lot of time. I don't know of any triple A titles that are on a single year development cycle, actually not even indie titles either. Most triple A titles are no less than 3 years.

@@johnj8639 The games been in development for prob 2 years now. There is only a small team for 2042 the past 2 years. the rest are making the next game.

BFV wanted to build off of BF1 and seemingly go down a route similar to Portal has, but negative backlash seemed to get it killed. 2042 actually got portal started but they really didn't expand it enough.

Sadly its the truth, they got them selves in a bad situation and to me they will have to prove them selves... I blame EA stright up!

Yeah but they completely fucked every aspect of that

Operations is what made bf1 the best game ever and they just failed to advance with it on bf5 and then I don’t mind the operations on 2043 but honestly the game is just not my cup of tea

BF1 operations blew my mind, made you feel you're a part of the war, when BFV came around i was dissapointed they couldn't replicate that

Enemy Territory Quake Wars already did that back in 2007.

Easily my favorite mode from BF1, made every match feel like it was worth something or we were fighting for something greater

Let me go watch some videos from that time before I like your comment. Because the builds that were played on were different from reality idk I’ll check them out

That's on YOU. Use your eyes. Also the beta. I played 20 minutes and it was the worst bf game ever made, bar none. And I loved hardline mind you (f everyone saying it's bad. It was awesome). Bf2042 launch was literally just the beta. 3/10, one of the worst games of the year

​@@kato093lol BF fanboys are worse like COD fanboys

Jack & Westie know, month sand months in advance. non disclosure statement. Obv they don't listen to them but they still see it long b4 we even see leaks. I love it when they talk and speculate about leak pics, they know if its real or not, they would have already played it, so be the way of the world. :)

Amen to that!

I wanted him to carry on aswel.

Same

Legacy features like that cost extra.

Honestly it was gut wrenching as a huge Star Wars fan. The game was in a great spot and you kill it? Never made any sense seeing as the amount of battlefronts that see serious play are far less the battlefields. Battlefield still had 4 and 1 with a serious player base, but battlefront players only had the 2016 version which while not horrible is just not it for a lot of ppl. Unless u go back the 2005

Agree. BFV was almost a first class multiplayer game, it just needed tweaks and polish.

Honestly, Battlefront 2 was perfect and everyone loved it. The comeback it made was mad. Still playing for a BF3

The trouble is that their player bases were likely too low at that point to justify significant investment and *clearly* more resources were needed for 2042. What they need to do is release a game that's as polished as Battlefront 2 and BFV were by the end. If you have a bad launch it's a marketing disaster and impossible to recover from - even if you fix all the problems in the end. The issue is that the financial side of things demands that x game must be released is quarter 4 of some year regardless of whether it's ready. Great for shareholders, but it's short term thinking - effectively selling the brand's future reputation for cash right now.

​@@bigmansanister8716 Perfect? It's one of the worst entries in the Battlefront franchise

Bf 2142 had a commander mode and it was amazing if you had a good commander it was an amazing experience

The voices make them stop

Dont think anyone is sad

@@Prosthetics555 many are sad at how 2042 happen

lol

Yup this is a live service game. They want the success of bf3 and bf4 but those didnt have "seasons" whatever thats supposed to be but without a campaign. I played 2042 a few months ago when it was free. I was able to be on the top of the scoreboard just by using the drone to spot all the enemies all game. This type of game has no soul. I get a bigger thrill from playing rush on operation metro STILL than anything bf2042 has to offer.

When you said Phillip at the end, that left a lasting impression. Meaningful stuff there.

Everybody forget Hardline if it wasn’t a battlefield game it would’ve been amazing

​@@hangthetraitors9047 i think people dont include it as much because it was a different company that made it. It felt different but im my opinion. Still good and i liked it

BFV is still the most wild one for me. They could’ve just made BF1, but WW2, and it would’ve been incredible. They tried to fix what wasn’t broke.

@@ottovonbearsmark8876 After calling their customers stupid and saying if we don't support their Woke agenda then we shouldn't be buying their games, they really needed to come out with a hit for BFV. It was pants. No sympathy for them. Phillip.

I've heard him say this over the years when talking about future battlefield games and man I wanna play jacks battlefield! :D

@@bobeversteen4341 Ik it sounds great, the dream battlefield everyone wants to play. but instead we get a games that keep missing the mark on what makes us enjoy them. who cares if 2 years after launch the game becomes decent I should be expecting that at a games launch

I think bf4 + bfv's movement+gun mechanics would slap. Legit if it had a battle Royale it would go crazy. They really missed a big chance With firestorm

This is the way

This is the way

i was expecting BF2042 to morph into this kind of thing over time when they added the throwback maps, but it never happened. DICE needs to make battlefield more of a hub experience where you could access multiple eras and game modes.

@@hudster501 nah I don't think a hub would work. I think it would split the player base too much. They either go all out on a battle Royale next game or the series dies.

According to Shroud, they hired 40+ online streamers to help them in game development and they didn't even listened or implemented even one thing what these streamers suggested.

Mark my words, nothing has been learned. Game will be incomplete and bare bones, 2 years to overhaul and lazily stitch together features standard since 2000, 6 months of extra battle passes, End of Life, next Game revealed, repeat.

@@uzairminhas414 TBF, Streamers/influencers are probably some of the worse people to go to for actual good advice on how to improve your game. At least with Battlefield anyways. Shroud is a perfect example of this. I watched him react to that "Battlefailed 2042" video. I heard more than enough things leave his mouth to make me wish he'd just stay playing whatever hyper-competitive twitch-shooter is popular this month, and hope he's never in a position to actually influence this franchise. Also, I believe it was Lossy and/or JFJ that said most of these content creators whom DICE was consulting were basically just yes-men who never criticized any of the dumb decisions they were making.

@@midknight9715 agreed

They should be firing devs that are ruining the game by adding the things we don't want.

They also stopped further development for bf5 right when it was getting good with the pacific update. We never got a Soviet faction 😭

@@cristopher8186 It's an on going pattern that this cascade of companies are doing.

It's actually mind blowing how in star wars bf2 and BFV they were going good but then dropped....like why?

@@cristopher8186 bf5 was a clusterfuck too. I’m sorry but Dice needs to realize we need more iconic locations in historical set games. That and the fat that they put the Kar and Thompson at max class rank was dumb.

​@@bulldog2000I think you know why

Jack is saying that you still need to be able to tell you're a medic though

They fumbled BFV so bad. BFV started slow, got good, slowed down, was starting to really hit stride and then they stopped. 😢

@@SPIIIVAthey really shoulda made Firestorm ftp

These suits know nothing!

I don't know, I kinda skipped BF1 and BF5 and got back late into the games, I feel like they blew things off when the game was actually very decent

@@Skateandcreate9 100% it had potential

Dont forget BF1

BF1's atmosphere was pretty crazy imo. its one of the reasons why i loved it so much despite some issues. charging with your teammates only to get mortar striked in a trench and tanks rolling in was EPIC

The great tragedy is that a lot of what BFV did as a game was absolutely excellent, and it's overshadowed by the technical failings. A lot of people talk about BFV and 2042 the same way, but the truth is 2042 has nothing good under the hood, no unrealized potential, while BFV had a ton. BFV has moments that are more fun than 2142. At times, it is PEAK. They could've done it right if they'd taken more time and not made some very stupid, obvious decisions. 2042 was doomed... So the games are getting WORSE while they try to reel themselves in from failure. I expect no success from them under this kind of pressure, and I think it's safe to say the franchise is dead.

@@superfamilyallosauridae6505i could not agree more!

Battlefield 2 was one of my earliest and most cherished online gaming experiences. I played nightly with a dedicated squad and ever made a few great friends that I eventually met IRL. Both Bad Companies were fantastic as well and I even liked 2142. But there's definitely a light that has died in these games since BF1/Hardline. BFV and 2042 just kind of felt par for the course after those. I really hope they can get the cart back on the rails, but we'll just have to wait and see

BFV core gameplay and feeling is the best in the saga imo. If BF6 takes it from it and pushes it to the next level with a modern setting, the game would be like no other.

@@GuitarooMan93Totaly agree with you there! The movement was amazing (crouch running wow! That was cool) The gunplay was amazing too until they fuck it up, but they fixed it... kina! Feels great now! BFV was a great live service game in my opinion, not even comparable with BF2042.

Yeah and just like jack’s video showing BFV in 8k demonstrates how the graphics of the game looked very realistic too, compared to BF2042 which looks good but has a plastic feeling somehow. And yeah the fact you could crouch sprint was great. Really if they take the best of BFV, put it in a modern setting with next gen environment destruction, it would be a masterpiece imo. And about destruction, they recently added this statement about destruction on the Frostbite engine description: « NEXT LEVEL DESTRUCTION Massive and progressive damage on terrain, architecture and vehicles which even enables altering the flow of a map or level. » So hopefully we can expect some really cool feature for BF6.
