It amazes me how this game has 10x more players than Battlefield 2042.

[Terron]

It has been over 6 years and it has 50.000 players whereas Battlefield 2042 only has about 5000 as of now. The updates and road map did not offer any substantial improvements.

Battlefield 1 is truly the last great Battlefield game in the franchise.

[Chinabestronger]

yes，I agree with you.

You know it wouldn't be possible without -88% right?

[Aldebaranske]

It is an amazing battlefield game but the massive player count spike is mostly due to the massive 88% sale so it's not very surprising, before the sale it had about the same player count as 2042 which is still very impressive

Even without sale, BF1 consistently had more players than 2042 on the average.

imo bf5 is better, but one is decent fun, but hoo boy the casual racism in this game is off the charts

I thought bfv was good, but it's nice to see a game be repopulated after the dumpster fire bf2042 was.

Battlefield started to go downhill with Battlefield V.

BF5 was 50% off 2 weeks after release, a difference of only $20 vs BF1 yet BF1 is still more popular. There are other factors at play. For starters 2042, is glitchy and the devs didn't listen to the community. It's there to push skins much like COD which makes the game play weird and not BF like. BF1 is probably the last good BF game before they started pushing microtransactions and wokeness in 5.

BV5's failure goes beyond the politically correct BS they introduced or the scummy MTX. The main issue was DICE's overall direction and development decisions. Instead of adding the content players actually wanted (Soviets, more maps), they added the Firestorm Battle Royale mode, which no one asked for, and kept messing with the TTK.

Pacific Front actually saved BFV and pretty much revived the playerbase, but screwed up by introducing yet another change to the TTK, which ultimately killed the game for many players. There was no reason to change the TTK, and everyone was fine with the previous one, but DICE just couldn't stop messing around.

It was so bad that even the most prolific BF content creators (Jackfrags, Westie, etc.) abandoned BF and went to play other shooters, mainly COD. They occasionally play other BF games, predominantly BF3, BF4, and 1, and if they return to Battlefield 2042, it is only to either praise or criticize the latest update.

Oh yeah I completely forgot about Firestorm. It seemed like from 2007 onward, game developers adopted the "copy the most popular thing" mindset and didn't give a single crap if it fit in or not. It's only gotten worse since then. Halo was the game to copy from 2001 but there wasn't too many clones. COD is when the clones started getting bad then the PUBG / Fornite clones in 2017 were everywhere. At any rate, the COD burnout is real. The series peaked with BLOPS2 and fell with Infinite / Advanced Warfare and there's not even that many good games to transfer over to. If EA / DICE can get this crap together and fix BF2042, they may see something amazing. And don't say it isn't possible.... worked for NMS / Cyberpunk.

BTW what is TTK? time to kill?

It's 10x better than 2042

Yes, with TTK i mean time to kill.

I highly doubt Dice could ever get their ♥♥♥♥ together. DICE had months to imrpove the game, yet no substantial imporvements ever came, if anything, they made 1 step forward and 2 steps backwards. People ahd the same hope about Anthem and Bioware was doing a major overhaul, but EA was unwilling to fund it and they ultimately axed the project. Dont expect Battlefield 2042 to be any different. They abandoned BFv, they do the same to 2042.
At least with No mans Sky and Cyberpunk, the staff was motivated enough to imrpove the game and besides, CD Red is both the Publisher and developer of Cyberpunk, which is their flagship title, so they were more willing to invest more money into the game to fix it.
