Battlefield 2042 on PS5

The launch of the latest BF has been anything but smooth. I've encountered my fair share of bugs and a lot of people just are not happy with how the game plays as a whole. A giant chunk of the player base has flocked back to games like Battlefield V and One, some going as far back as 4 just to enjoy some old-school BF. This rocky start is a cause for major concern in regards to life of Battlefield 2042.

Most Battlefield launches never seem to go very well. I'm not worried about whether or not this game will be supported long-term. I know once they get the battle pass out there, it will be enough to fun further development. Plus they already got plenty of money when they charged $70 and even over $100 for certain versions of 2042. So many people preordered without realizing they were going to hate the game once it actually came out.

Thankfully, I don't regret my purchase. Although this could have been a $40 game I'm pretty sure. If they made it free-to-play, there would be little to no complaints I'm sure. EA just didn't see that as an option, money is their motive as usual.

I have been enjoying the 64 player games a lot more than the 128 player modes. The full-sized maps are just too big for my liking. Cutting the size down a bit makes me enjoy the matches more and have better stats too. The only problem is, there aren't a ton of people who agree with me.

I had my crossplay option turned off so that I would be less likely to run into players using a mouse and keyboard. It has worked out fine up until I started to try to play these less popular 64 player modes. Sometimes the matchmaking is quick and other times I'm left waiting for a game for over 10 minutes. It is outrageous considering this game just came out. This forced me to turn cross-play back on, which alleviated my wait times. I feel like I am now playing worse thanks to this. FML.
