“Battlefield 2042” has so many problems that even plug-ins have given up updating, and the number of players on Steam is lower than that of “BFV” | 4Gamers

Since its launch, Battlefield 2042 has been heavily criticized by fans of the series for its quality. Even though the current situation continues to improve compared to when it was first released in November last year, the number of games for this game continues to decline, at least on Steam. The number of people on the platform is already lower than the previous game “Battlefield V” (Battlefield V).

If the description is not clear enough, see SteamDB The data chart may be even more shocking. As of now, “Battlefield 2042” started on December 20 last year, and the number of people at the peak reached the intersection with “Battlefield 5”, and the number of people at the peak was only more than 10,000. And still continue to bottom out, gradually approaching “Battlefield 1” (Battlefield 1).

Although the DICE team has continued to update and fix many bugs and game experience issues since the game was launched, over time, overseas forums have not slowed down the official criticism, because there are always new bugs.

For example, some players have recently discovered that when modifying accessories for firearms in the battlefield, the vertical recoil can be reduced by 25%, or invisible people who see characters disappearing for unknown reasons and only firearm modules floating in the air.

More interestingly, according to the previousIt is revealed that the production process of DICE is too shortThe overseas reporter Tom Henderson tweeted that a plug-in developer allegedly notified cheating players on Discord that they would stop updating the plug-in cheating program for Battlefield 2042. Affects the operation of the plug-in.

It is worth mentioning that in the screenshot of the dialogue, the cheater even suggested that cheaters who subscribe to the service can transfer to any “Call of Duty” title to use the cheat service.

Of course, all of this is only getting worse for the Battlefield 2042 team. Shortly after the end of the year in 2022, overseas Reddit sub-versions are full of players complaining about game performance problems, and many discussion threads are not enough for the follow-up updates of the DICE team.

Such a violent bombardment made the entire discussion board full of sour people and ridicule memes. If the 2042 moderator once published the article and continued, it will be dealt with as a closed version.

Although the final discussion board was not closed, but because the player community questioned the DICE team for not trying to fix the update and went on vacation, Andy McNamara, EA’s global community communication director, came forward and responded bluntly that “people need rest”, which once again caused community dissatisfaction And delete the text.

For the “Battlefield” brand, such a strong community backlash can be said to be the first time in the series. Although every player has the right and freedom to express their dissatisfaction with the game, there are still a few strong attacks. Sexual remarks are seen as malicious and have contributed to the deterioration of the community in Battlefield 2042.

“expectations are brutal” LOL. Stop lying to the community and mainly stop selling pre alpha games. And expectations won’t be that “Brutal”. ???? #Boomer2042 https://t.co/2l0shYEatS pic.twitter.com/92J7tD8gal

Of course, the failure of “Battlefield 2042” is not alone. Activision’s “Decisive Moment: Pioneer” has also been heavily bombarded by fans of the series in terms of content performance, including battle characters and firearms settings that do not match the history of World War II. At the same time, the legal storm faced by Activision itself is still the focus of overseas attention.

Now, Call of Duty may be welcoming a group of cheaters who skipped over after the Battlefield 2042 plugin stopped updating.
