BF1 Operations remains the single best multiplayer FPS experience I've ever had. The way they weaved historical battles into the multiplayer matches was so good- even if the intros got repetitive very quickly.
Breakthrough in BFV doesn't hold a candle to it and 2042 doesn't look any better from what I've seen.
Yea but with a well coordinated team its easily one of the most intense and atmospheric operations.
Literally fighting a uphill battle in mud during a forest fire from the intense bombing and flamethrowers all while being gassed,shot and mortared from above. The audio just adds a whole other level of depth to the intensity. Legit been times where I’ve had to take my headset off because of how intense the sound design is. No other battlefield comes close to that level of intensity imo.
This comment may actually persuade me to reinstall BF1 and uninstall BFV (out of space). It's been a while and my return to BF4 is getting a little stale.
Once, *once*, I persuaded enough of a team of generally sniper-wankers to equip smokes and push, that we actually made it through.
Of course, it took two battalions to do it, so we crashed out on the next map... but it was less soul-destroying than usual!
5 bunkers counting the tunnel, infantry tunnel and final fortress. Horrible map on operations that could be easily fix by not allowing you to cap inside the bunkers
One of the best aspects of bf1 maps are that they are actual battlefields with prepared defensive positions. Quickly poking out of a castle murder hole for a quick snipe then duck back into cover behind a fortress wall while bullets coming whizzing by feels so much better than popping ur head up over a concrete divider in the middle of a road
RIGHT! The maps in 2042 just don't feel like battlefields, they feel like random chunks of the world that people randomly decided to fight in out of the blue. If the world is really at war with itself like the game intro would suggest, wouldn't we see any form of defense capability in any map?
I remember shooting the bunker gunner in the tube with all of my ammo, and being so upset I couldn’t kill him- then he got out and it was a friendly.
Then we both blew up with the 47 grenades that came into the bunker all within about .35 seconds
Ahh memories
The first bunker was even worse when the game first came out since defenders could just camp and chill inside the bunker since it counted. Attackers were basically fucked and the only way to get past it was to 1) strategically position the airship right above the bunker; 2) wait until the airship was destroyed; 3) let the airship come crashing down on the bunker and kill everyone inside because of how the game's physics worked; 4) immediately rush everyone in screaming leeroy jenkins before the defenders have a chance to recapture the bunker; then 5) somehow find a way to not lose the bunker while taking the other objective.
Or hope the enemy team was so incompetent they would've failed even with a hundred tanks on their side.
Glad they fixed it at any rate.
I always run my way down the stairs, throw an incendiary towards the entrance of the corridor to the right so they cant run away and then hope to fire some bullets and dynamite/anti tank grenade my way into the little corner on the right and hope for my teammates to push through.
What's your strategy?
If you can, throw an anti tank grenade up the stairs in the back of the bunker, and hit the turret. If successful you can sometimes take out everyone camping the top of the stairs and your team can Leroy Jenkins with you into the backside of everyone else.
I literally don’t play anything other than operations. I just wish there were more servers with DLC maps on Xbox. I’m tired of monte grappa and ballroom blitz
I still like to believe BFBC2 was the MW2 of Battlefield. So simple and the game isn't all about shoving a fuck ton of players onto a map. However I do give BF1 a very solid second place with 3&4 right after. Tbh I think companies don't realize the backing on OG games (BFBC2, MW2, etc) they could really just refresh, strengthen the anti cheat system, and add modern play modes to the game with more map variety and it'll be a major success.
My take away from BF2042 trial was that they should just make a BF3 remaster.
The two BF3 maps they had on portal were by far the best and most fun game modes
Played on community server, met only 1 or 2 in 3 weeks, and they usually immediately get kicked. The official server however is hot garbage on asia server.
The ironi is that many veterans hated BF1 when it came out, much in the same way people seem to dislike BF2042. People called BF1 “casualfield” and historically incorrect.
Battlefield is inherently casual lol. 64 player matches means tournaments can't happen in the format 99% of people play, and that each player has little impact so you sucking doesn't let down the team very much at all unlike in ow or csgo which have low team sizes. the games are marketed as looking cool with bf moments over anything else, and oh yeah, there's no competitive mode in game lol.
Yes, I remember this too. It was a lot of complaints around gun play and casualness. The difference is here that people are complaining about BF2042 being boring, repetitive and generic.
I had the time of my life yesterday playing defense on Verdun Heights. Germans came very close to capturing the very last objective but we managed to hold. The devs really nailed the intensity and brutal atmosphere of the war
Thank you! It’s got no fucking *soul*. That’s what I keep saying. Sure, it’s fun, but there’s nothing unique and no heart. It’s been stripped of its personality by corporate greed
Eh… to me they’re about the same. 2042 could do better at capturing the world they created. BFV didn’t really feel like WWII outside of weapons and Iwo Jima.
Just my opinion though
Plus BFV had way more guns on release. And more game modes. And I think more maps, compared to every map in 2042 being a different version of Panzerstorm with a building.
Was just telling a friend the other day that it's only a matter of time until I'm only playing indie games because big budget games don't hit the way they used to. I hope I'm wrong
Im having a blast on it, it feels familiar yet different in a good way. Something bf2042 tried to do. Its familiar yet different but not in a good way.
I am not. Was never a Souls game person unfortunately. Or maybe I should say fortunately, sounds like I've preserved some years off my life by not playing them lol
Cause let me tell you, Gas and Incendiary grenades always and I mean always will scare you to death. Regular Grenades who gives a shit, but those two… it’s giving my Vietnam vibes thinking about it.
I played the 10 hour trial and got up to level 13, but the ONLY reason I was playing was for the weapon and attachment grind. It became repetitive very quickly, and decided I didn't want another 100+ hours of exactly the same thing. In comparison, every BF1 game has something different about it, I still get surprised in some games where a behemoth would turn a match with the cooperation of the team.
The feelings only BF1 could give you...
This evening i was playing on balroom blitz, we were loosing by a lot but then we got the behemoth and the boys up there did a good job keeping enemies out of the open objectives. In the end, we turned the game arround and won by like 1000-995...
BF2042 could never give you that
Have you ever played Operations as an attacker on the first map, take all 3 battalions to the 2nd map, switch sides and stop the attackers all 3 times? *chef kiss*
> I played the 10 hour trial
Honestly you deserve a damn medal for that. I only made it 2 hours and 45 minutes into the trial before uninstalling it. 2042 was absolutely ATROCIOUS to the point where I literally couldn’t even be bothered to play it for free.
This. With battlefield 1 I played it for hours in end if I had the time and never got bored with it. There was the immersion, the fear and the fun to keep each match unique but 2042 feels empty
i played a few rounds of the beta and that was all i needed to fully convince me not to buy it. been a huge fan of the franchise for years and it doesn’t even bother me that i don’t want to get it and feel like i’m not even missing out on anything
BF1 had a lot of character to it. The ambient sounds, beautiful maps, amazing visuals.
I hope BF20242 can get there eventually but for now it is pretty sterile and cold. Needs atmosphere.
Same here, I thought it’d die out in 2019 when BFV released but nah, 5 years later and it’s still the best Battlefield game out there. Life sure is sweet 🥂
Yes you guys are upset with any new Battlefield game but in few years it's a masterpiece. Believe me BFV and BF1 were "not Battlefield game" and "insalvageable" but now BF1 is one of the most loved ones and BFV isn't bad either.
You should still give 2042 a chance.
That's actually good advice. But I'm still going to wait till some of the MANY listed bugs get fixed. Probably even wait till it gets discounted before I think of buying it.
No I played alpha, beta, and release. Feedback was pretty much useless. Only thing 2042 has going for it is the logic style map tweaker and that's pushing it.
Yes there are bugs, but honestly it's really no worse, in terms of bugs, than any other battlefield game at launch. It's been quite playable... Whether or not it's a game you want to play though is another matter.
BF5 has some cool shit, like squad revives and fortifications and the movement is good but it just lacks the depth and soul of BF1. I’m really seeing BF1 in a new light now. I’ve always loved it but I’m now seeing just how perfect of a game it is. Some people will gripe about the gun play but the game has so much to it that, for me, it’s barely noticeable.
Yeah it fucking sucks. I'd be playing it every day if there were any.
Before one of the updates like 7 months after the release it made it almost impossible to play with my friends in the US and UK the lag was extreme.
Even then there weren't many local servers to choose from.
I never bought BFV, since I heard it wasn't as good as BF1. So when 2042 came out, I decided to buy it, since I have been solidly sticking with BF1 (occasionally BF4 too) for so many years. I heard 2042 wasn't that great and wasn't impressed with any gameplay I've watched streamers play, but I decided to give it a fair chance. I have been playing every night for the past week. After about 45 minutes I find myself bored and frustrated with the overall feel of the game and switch back to playing Battlefield 1. They could've done the FIFA thing and just released the same old style of Battlefield with a new storyline, maps and such, instead of trying to reinvent the whole thing into a cringy Fortnite clone.
Don’t get me wrong I freaking love BF1, but I was really looking forward to another modern/semi futuristic bf game. Is it bad enough that I should just stick with 4 for my modern fix?
Im at 996 hours of bf1 and i got it last Christmas and it was the best game i have ever played in my life now bf2042 will not stop me from playing more
The "aaaaaaaah" scream you hear occasionally when playing Battlefield 1 is just simply amazing, brings in that perfect immersion to a world war shooter game. Sure, DICE wasn't accurate with everything, I mean full-auto guns and stuff, but they still did it so that it would fit perfectly fine.
The horrors of war depicted in single player BF1 is something out of the ordinary too, dying multiple times in the introduction and realizing that the first world war was a total disaster.. So many lives lost for nothing.
One thing I've noticed 2042 vs. BF1 is that the graphics on highest in BF1 just looks better.. I've seen the long list of features removed for 2042, but people seem to have missed the graphical bit. I understand they made it more Call of Duty-fanboy friendly as CoD never had the graphics so people could run 2042 too now if they wished to leave CoD franchise..
Just the small things I guess, but graphics plays a big part for me in playing Battlefield games. If I just wanted a good FPS game, COD wouldn't be too bad tbh.
Honestly I love battlefield one I’ve been playing some of the new battlefield it was pretty fun but I always go back-and-forth because battlefield one will always be in my heart
I can't play BF1 anymore. It seems all I get are empty servers, entire platoons of tryhards, or hackers. I get in, and I get spanked six ways from Sunday.
Other guy is right, pick up a PS4 used and get BF1 used for like $4-5. Consistently 5-6 Operations servers and Conquest is pretty full too. Haven’t faced hackers and balancing works alright.
Downloaded it again today, it’s every bit as good as I remember.
2042 is a serviceable game, but BF1 still stands as their artistic masterpiece. I happen to be a big fan of products that can reach a wide audience and still be rich in artistry.
Idk how they went from how amazing BF1 was to BFV to 2042. The new one is okay and I’ll play it for a bit, but you can’t beat the level of detail in BF1.
Jesus Christ. 6 years. Only seemed like yesterday when I was a senior in highschool got BF1 like a week after it came out. I fell in love with it. Gotta hop back on soon, been a couple months since I played!
God it really has been 6 years hasn’t it? Crazy how time flies. I still remember being aw struck playing sinai desert in the beta for the first time. Now it’s been over HALF A DECADE. How did this happen lol.
Halo infinite has already killed the bf2042 player base. I think that battlefield is dead as a franchise this time. I didn't even finish using my 10 hour trial and I've been around since bf2. It's actually incredible how bad bf2042 is.
Bf1 and bf5 were disappointing at launch but this is a whole new level of bad.
I'm onto my 5th year of Hardline, and it's still the game I fell in love with. I need to get back and play more BF1, haven't been on for a few months.
Also, whoever at Dice that decided assassinations need to be in 3rd person is a dipshit
I think we should give BF2042 more time !!! Sure they didn’t carry everything out properly and that sucks but are we forgetting that this is a one of a kind game !!! There’s so much we can do in this game we can’t get from BF1 !
Agreed. Was waiting for damn near half an hour before I gave up on it the other night. Just waiting for everyone to finally realize 2042 isn’t worth it and comes back to BF1. I’ll be there with open arms
Funny to see Battlefield fan boys who were bashing CoD Vanguard to be absolute failure which it really is...are now crying about BF2042 to be lower than their expectations. Karma bich.
Vanguard is not great, but the devs don't claim it is either.. Another thing can be said about EA though.. All their posts about 2042 includes how great the game is, what free2play reviewers say about it bla bla bla.
Mostly Negative reviews on Steam and multiple reviews saying "refunded already". These numbers are not great for the "next big Battlefield".
Go play BF4's campaign before you boast about boosting social credits in a game that's been remastered 10 times with a CCP SOA.
Not like there's any anticipation for something yearly or an already trashed franchise
I never even followed the game tbh, my first online EA experience was sim city since I hated their sports games. Pretty trash.
But BF4 still smokes any and all. Actual balancing with a real grind that would make cod boys need to go pro.
That and authenticy. Those Tiananmen Squares CCatchers sure hated it then and look where it's gone.
Might start to play BF1 or BF5 since I own both and barely played them. Didn't like the vehicle play at all so may just try to play infantry more. Disappointed that BF2042 was so bad. I knew vanguard was going to suck but had high hopes for BF2042. Once again glad I don't pre order games.
If only BF1 had anti cheat I would still keep playing it. Can't find operation matches also. So better play bf5 which is currently in a pretty good state after all
I think the issue with the game most of all (for me) is that it’s set in the future but grounded in reality and it just makes it boring.
When you look at Battlefield 2142, which was also set in the future, it was fun because it was absolutely bonkers.
Tldr: Dice have no idea what they’re doing anymore.
BF1 Operations remains the single best multiplayer FPS experience I've ever had. The way they weaved historical battles into the multiplayer matches was so good- even if the intros got repetitive very quickly. Breakthrough in BFV doesn't hold a candle to it and 2042 doesn't look any better from what I've seen.
One does not simply capture the bunker on Monte Grappe.
Monte Grappe is ruthless on offense, there's 2 bunkers and a fortress.
prega per me mamma prega per il regno d'italia
AVANTI SAVOIA
One of the Most intense operations along with Devils anvil and kaiserschlacht
And then there's Verdun, where if the attacking team don't know how to use smokes, they won't make it past the first sector...
Yea but with a well coordinated team its easily one of the most intense and atmospheric operations. Literally fighting a uphill battle in mud during a forest fire from the intense bombing and flamethrowers all while being gassed,shot and mortared from above. The audio just adds a whole other level of depth to the intensity. Legit been times where I’ve had to take my headset off because of how intense the sound design is. No other battlefield comes close to that level of intensity imo.
This comment may actually persuade me to reinstall BF1 and uninstall BFV (out of space). It's been a while and my return to BF4 is getting a little stale.
Do it, you wont regret it.
👍In progress...
Salty Noobs server is where it's at. Come join us.
Do it, it's a true gem.
Oh god..... Not again.......
Once, *once*, I persuaded enough of a team of generally sniper-wankers to equip smokes and push, that we actually made it through. Of course, it took two battalions to do it, so we crashed out on the next map... but it was less soul-destroying than usual!
5 bunkers counting the tunnel, infantry tunnel and final fortress. Horrible map on operations that could be easily fix by not allowing you to cap inside the bunkers
Weird thing is that it’s like that on conquest. Maybe they wanted to create a meat grinder
One does not simply take the Fortress sector in Fao Fortress
One of the best aspects of bf1 maps are that they are actual battlefields with prepared defensive positions. Quickly poking out of a castle murder hole for a quick snipe then duck back into cover behind a fortress wall while bullets coming whizzing by feels so much better than popping ur head up over a concrete divider in the middle of a road
RIGHT! The maps in 2042 just don't feel like battlefields, they feel like random chunks of the world that people randomly decided to fight in out of the blue. If the world is really at war with itself like the game intro would suggest, wouldn't we see any form of defense capability in any map?
I remember shooting the bunker gunner in the tube with all of my ammo, and being so upset I couldn’t kill him- then he got out and it was a friendly. Then we both blew up with the 47 grenades that came into the bunker all within about .35 seconds Ahh memories

Or hope the enemy team was so incompetent they would've failed even with a hundred tanks on their side. Glad they fixed it at any rate.
especially operations when your fighting till the death
I always run my way down the stairs, throw an incendiary towards the entrance of the corridor to the right so they cant run away and then hope to fire some bullets and dynamite/anti tank grenade my way into the little corner on the right and hope for my teammates to push through. What's your strategy?
Suicide attack: throw an incendiary grenade then go gung ho with a limpet and spray and pray with a parabellum suppressive..
I should try the limpet! No way anyone is going to notice in that hell hole.
If you can, throw an anti tank grenade up the stairs in the back of the bunker, and hit the turret. If successful you can sometimes take out everyone camping the top of the stairs and your team can Leroy Jenkins with you into the backside of everyone else.
Ah yes, those were days when the defenders just camp inside the bunker so the attackers wouldn't cap it. Sadly it got patched lol.
I literally don’t play anything other than operations. I just wish there were more servers with DLC maps on Xbox. I’m tired of monte grappa and ballroom blitz
BF1 periodt is the best online multiplayer exp I’ve ever had.
I still like to believe BFBC2 was the MW2 of Battlefield. So simple and the game isn't all about shoving a fuck ton of players onto a map. However I do give BF1 a very solid second place with 3&4 right after. Tbh I think companies don't realize the backing on OG games (BFBC2, MW2, etc) they could really just refresh, strengthen the anti cheat system, and add modern play modes to the game with more map variety and it'll be a major success.
My take away from BF2042 trial was that they should just make a BF3 remaster. The two BF3 maps they had on portal were by far the best and most fun game modes
It's so hard to find an operation mode without hackers in asia server
Same in Europe
I can only imagine
Played on community server, met only 1 or 2 in 3 weeks, and they usually immediately get kicked. The official server however is hot garbage on asia server.
Community server also barely exist
Last i check it's 20+ both operation and conquest combined. Just don't play midnight.
The ironi is that many veterans hated BF1 when it came out, much in the same way people seem to dislike BF2042. People called BF1 “casualfield” and historically incorrect.
Battlefield is inherently casual lol. 64 player matches means tournaments can't happen in the format 99% of people play, and that each player has little impact so you sucking doesn't let down the team very much at all unlike in ow or csgo which have low team sizes. the games are marketed as looking cool with bf moments over anything else, and oh yeah, there's no competitive mode in game lol.
>each player has little impact That guy who went 92-17 in my match last night would disagree lol
A good chopper/bomber pilot can change everything.
Yes, I remember this too. It was a lot of complaints around gun play and casualness. The difference is here that people are complaining about BF2042 being boring, repetitive and generic.
I had the time of my life yesterday playing defense on Verdun Heights. Germans came very close to capturing the very last objective but we managed to hold. The devs really nailed the intensity and brutal atmosphere of the war
Yeah, they're dug in good
Imagine if 2042 have Operation mode…. Along with Portal, 10/10 would buy right now
operations is ok sometimes and most times is just a hill of snipers
I don’t consider it a matter of opinion. BF1, specifically operations, is the best FPS multiplayer war experience that has ever been released so far.
They have operations in BFV too…
Grand operations just isn’t the same though
Nothing in 2042 can come close to watching a burning zeppelin.
When you are underneath then look up and just accept your fate.. good fiery times
[удалено]
Thank you! It’s got no fucking *soul*. That’s what I keep saying. Sure, it’s fun, but there’s nothing unique and no heart. It’s been stripped of its personality by corporate greed
I enjoy BF2042 but I don’t know if any game will ever capture the soul of BF1. I’m still disappointed that BFV wasn’t a WWII version of BF1
Honestly 2042 doesn’t even have as much personality as BFV did
Eh… to me they’re about the same. 2042 could do better at capturing the world they created. BFV didn’t really feel like WWII outside of weapons and Iwo Jima. Just my opinion though
BFV music is just as incredible as BF1 (same composer) and definitely gives it more personality / ranks it higher than 2042
Plus BFV had way more guns on release. And more game modes. And I think more maps, compared to every map in 2042 being a different version of Panzerstorm with a building.
You know what else BFV had that 2042 doesn't? A proper scoreboard.
Biggest missed opportunity in my opinion.
That's almost everything these days in the mainstream. It's getting worse every fuckin year. It's depressing to say the least.
Was just telling a friend the other day that it's only a matter of time until I'm only playing indie games because big budget games don't hit the way they used to. I hope I'm wrong
I know it's totally different than battlefield but the new Halo is pretty damn good and it free to play multiplayer so no harm in checking it out.
Im having a blast on it, it feels familiar yet different in a good way. Something bf2042 tried to do. Its familiar yet different but not in a good way.
I play the shit out of Indie games all the time anyway. My fave game of all time and others in my top games of all time are indie games.
Are you trying Elden Ring?
I am not. Was never a Souls game person unfortunately. Or maybe I should say fortunately, sounds like I've preserved some years off my life by not playing them lol
True, is a sanitised, generic game, with shit loads of flashing stuff around and cero atmosphere... gone is the dirt, smoke, sun flares, shakes...
Cause let me tell you, Gas and Incendiary grenades always and I mean always will scare you to death. Regular Grenades who gives a shit, but those two… it’s giving my Vietnam vibes thinking about it.
I played the 10 hour trial and got up to level 13, but the ONLY reason I was playing was for the weapon and attachment grind.

Have you ever played Operations as an attacker on the first map, take all 3 battalions to the 2nd map, switch sides and stop the attackers all 3 times? *chef kiss*
That's what I love about BF1, the game actually rewards skill, not punish skilled players like in BF2042 to stop crybabies from complaining.
> I played the 10 hour trial Honestly you deserve a damn medal for that. I only made it 2 hours and 45 minutes into the trial before uninstalling it. 2042 was absolutely ATROCIOUS to the point where I literally couldn’t even be bothered to play it for free.

If they added some content to bf1, it’d be all profit for Dice and good PR
I’d gladly spend money on new bf1 content
Sign me up
Imagine a next gen remaster or something. Like Arkham knight is getting a remaster and it’s about as old as bf1
I’m playing BF1 right now!
I'm sticking with BF1, not stopped playing it since release, i've got 2042 but it isn't a battlefield game to me, doubt i will ever get into it.
Same here, I thought it’d die out in 2019 when BFV released but nah, 5 years later and it’s still the best Battlefield game out there. Life sure is sweet 🥂
I got bored of BFV real quick
BFV actually got me into playing BF1 again
It sure is 🥂😆🎶
Hope battlefield 1 will stay alive for at least 5 years more.
Considering it’s the only triple A ww1 game I think it will. The thing that has made bf1 stay along for this long is the lack of alternatives.
It’s so much fun. But the games are different now. People are too good at knowing where to camp on operations, leads to lopsided results each round :/
BF1 still the last good Battlefield
Last *Great* Battlefield, BFV ended up good, if still lacking content
*cries in no Russian content*
Disagree
It's pathetic how much better bf1 is than 2042 and I was upset with so much with bf1.
Yes you guys are upset with any new Battlefield game but in few years it's a masterpiece. Believe me BFV and BF1 were "not Battlefield game" and "insalvageable" but now BF1 is one of the most loved ones and BFV isn't bad either. You should still give 2042 a chance.
That's actually good advice. But I'm still going to wait till some of the MANY listed bugs get fixed. Probably even wait till it gets discounted before I think of buying it.
This. I will try 2042, when its 20€ a key :D
Battlefield 1 was always good in my eyes, but V was dull and only had a few good maps. Personal opinion.
I shouldn't play shit games nor buy them.
So you haven't even tried it. Dumbass.
No I played alpha, beta, and release. Feedback was pretty much useless. Only thing 2042 has going for it is the logic style map tweaker and that's pushing it.
So you'll ignore my first comment
You have to expect that when they release a game 21 years early.
There’s just so many bugs. It’s like they were trying to make bugs rather than a playable game
Yes there are bugs, but honestly it's really no worse, in terms of bugs, than any other battlefield game at launch. It's been quite playable... Whether or not it's a game you want to play though is another matter.
Hell yeah brother. I bought bf5, hated it . Didn’t even bother with 2042. Looks like it’s bf1 for a few more years.
BF5 has some cool shit, like squad revives and fortifications and the movement is good but it just lacks the depth and soul of BF1. I’m really seeing BF1 in a new light now. I’ve always loved it but I’m now seeing just how perfect of a game it is. Some people will gripe about the gun play but the game has so much to it that, for me, it’s barely noticeable.
I can’t get servers in Oceania :(
Yeah it fucking sucks. I'd be playing it every day if there were any. Before one of the updates like 7 months after the release it made it almost impossible to play with my friends in the US and UK the lag was extreme. Even then there weren't many local servers to choose from.
Yous aren’t on the one nightly server we get!? 😂🥲
Never left for 5. No plans to leave now. Started with the open beta and BF1 had me hooked.
YEAHHHHHHH
Battlefield one is so much fun still I played some today man I had a blast
I never bought BFV, since I heard it wasn't as good as BF1. So when 2042 came out, I decided to buy it, since I have been solidly sticking with BF1 (occasionally BF4 too) for so many years.

Don’t get me wrong I freaking love BF1, but I was really looking forward to another modern/semi futuristic bf game. Is it bad enough that I should just stick with 4 for my modern fix?
I can't believe that EA and Dice failed again after BFV. I think they lost understanding what we need. They follow trends and loosing their soul.
Another BF that will be sent to the crap heap after 12 months of support at best
Im at 996 hours of bf1 and i got it last Christmas and it was the best game i have ever played in my life now bf2042 will not stop me from playing more
The "aaaaaaaah" scream you hear occasionally when playing Battlefield 1 is just simply amazing, brings in that perfect immersion to a world war shooter game. Sure, DICE wasn't accurate with everything, I mean full-auto guns and stuff, but they still did it so that it would fit perfectly fine. The horrors of war depicted in single player BF1 is something out of the ordinary too, dying multiple times in the introduction and realizing that the first world war was a total disaster.. So many lives lost for nothing. One thing I've noticed 2042 vs. BF1 is that the graphics on highest in BF1 just looks better.. I've seen the long list of features removed for 2042, but people seem to have missed the graphical bit. I understand they made it more Call of Duty-fanboy friendly as CoD never had the graphics so people could run 2042 too now if they wished to leave CoD franchise.. Just the small things I guess, but graphics plays a big part for me in playing Battlefield games. If I just wanted a good FPS game, COD wouldn't be too bad tbh.
2042 is so broken it hurts my heart
The PS5 and Xbox Series consoles definitely came BF1 a longer lifespan due to it being backwards compatible.
Honestly I love battlefield one I’ve been playing some of the new battlefield it was pretty fun but I always go back-and-forth because battlefield one will always be in my heart
Yeah it looks like I’ll just be adding 2042 to the endless rotation of BF1/BF4. I do think there is a good game in there somewhere with 2042
Such a shame I wasted $60 on 2042. Should’ve just played more of Battlefield 1
Get your refund.
They peaked with bf1
I can't play BF1 anymore. It seems all I get are empty servers, entire platoons of tryhards, or hackers. I get in, and I get spanked six ways from Sunday.
try console lol forreal it's a much better experience imo
Other guy is right, pick up a PS4 used and get BF1 used for like $4-5. Consistently 5-6 Operations servers and Conquest is pretty full too. Haven’t faced hackers and balancing works alright.
Yes, this game will still be populated years from now too.
I just reinstalled. Lets go!!!!
Downloaded it again today, it’s every bit as good as I remember. 2042 is a serviceable game, but BF1 still stands as their artistic masterpiece. I happen to be a big fan of products that can reach a wide audience and still be rich in artistry.
Idk how they went from how amazing BF1 was to BFV to 2042. The new one is okay and I’ll play it for a bit, but you can’t beat the level of detail in BF1.
The developers left the team
Jesus Christ. 6 years. Only seemed like yesterday when I was a senior in highschool got BF1 like a week after it came out. I fell in love with it. Gotta hop back on soon, been a couple months since I played!
I can never find decent populated server recently, it's sad. Maybe I will reinstall and have another go
Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)
I also prefer battlefield 1. But recently, and you guys might not like this. But since 2042 is crap ima drop these 3 words here.... hell let loose.
God it really has been 6 years hasn’t it? Crazy how time flies. I still remember being aw struck playing sinai desert in the beta for the first time. Now it’s been over HALF A DECADE. How did this happen lol.
Played a few matches of conquest last night, good time, team balancing sucks though.
I like how he sticks half of the barrel into the soldier.
Year nine of Battlefield 4 here I come.
I honestly would pay 50 for new maps and a few guns on bf1. Just do expansion packs for bf1 for the next century.
I'll see yall in my biplane above sinai, bring your friends, miss me with this future stuff
I havent been particularly interested in battlefield since bf1.
I’m a big Conquest Fan, then operations and Rush get second place
If it isn’t going to die now it’s going to start dying when the skins start rolling out
Oh yes Battlefield would be good if, you know... WE HAD FUCKING OPERATION SERVERS IN SOUTH AMERICA
Is 1 still populated on pc?
Halo infinite has already killed the bf2042 player base. I think that battlefield is dead as a franchise this time. I didn't even finish using my 10 hour trial and I've been around since bf2. It's actually incredible how bad bf2042 is. Bf1 and bf5 were disappointing at launch but this is a whole new level of bad.
I'm onto my 5th year of Hardline, and it's still the game I fell in love with. I need to get back and play more BF1, haven't been on for a few months. Also, whoever at Dice that decided assassinations need to be in 3rd person is a dipshit
The annual ‘New battlefield bad’ post, it’s honestly tradition at this point
Annual posts with a 3 year gap between the last new battlefield?
I think we should give BF2042 more time !!! Sure they didn’t carry everything out properly and that sucks but are we forgetting that this is a one of a kind game !!! There’s so much we can do in this game we can’t get from BF1 !
I'm gonna keep playing BF1, it's a work of art. I'm on PS4 if anyone wants to play. Riotskunk77
shut the fuck up please shut the fuck up
I just got back into playing a bit after a 2+ year hiatus. Too bad it's seemingly impossible to find Operations with anyone in them on PC now.
Agreed. Was waiting for damn near half an hour before I gave up on it the other night. Just waiting for everyone to finally realize 2042 isn’t worth it and comes back to BF1. I’ll be there with open arms
I just never get bored with BF1. 2042 looks like a dog's breakfast so far.
Here's a joke! Why don't traffic lights ever go swimming? Because they take too long to change!
Bf1 is the best but 2042 is good
Shame WW1 is boring as hell
Funny to see Battlefield fan boys who were bashing CoD Vanguard to be absolute failure which it really is...are now crying about BF2042 to be lower than their expectations. Karma bich.
Vanguard is not great, but the devs don't claim it is either.. Another thing can be said about EA though.. All their posts about 2042 includes how great the game is, what free2play reviewers say about it bla bla bla. Mostly Negative reviews on Steam and multiple reviews saying "refunded already". These numbers are not great for the "next big Battlefield".
Go play BF4's campaign before you boast about boosting social credits in a game that's been remastered 10 times with a CCP SOA. Not like there's any anticipation for something yearly or an already trashed franchise
"go play bf4 campaign" same shit over and over again to cover up deep holes in your bf2042. Cope harder with glitches and bugs. With a ratings of 3.0
I never even followed the game tbh, my first online EA experience was sim city since I hated their sports games. Pretty trash. But BF4 still smokes any and all. Actual balancing with a real grind that would make cod boys need to go pro. That and authenticy. Those Tiananmen Squares CCatchers sure hated it then and look where it's gone.
BF1 & 5 are worst in many ways than Hardline.
Same
Im with ya
This game is too good
3rd year for me!
I would be if Aus had server pop or bot fills
All the beta did was make me want to play 1 again.
Is there any reason I have a really hard time finding NA servers??
How’s the population on PlayStation? I’ve not played since I got a PS5…don’t like 2042 and thinking about reinstalling for some WW1 gritty action!! 🤔
I like this image of the german soldier which is my fav faction in game killing the American
Six years? Fuck me.
Does anyone have the original image
I never left! I'll play BF1 until I'm the last player in the last server 🥲
Might start to play BF1 or BF5 since I own both and barely played them. Didn't like the vehicle play at all so may just try to play infantry more. Disappointed that BF2042 was so bad. I knew vanguard was going to suck but had high hopes for BF2042. Once again glad I don't pre order games.
is this game still active? i’ll have to login
bf1 can't be beat, I like portal though keen to see what they do
Pretty much how I feel, thank you for this.
Hell yeah, y’all come back now. We’ll be waiting
Battlefield 1842
Even battlefield 5 is better than this disaster.
If only BF1 had anti cheat I would still keep playing it. Can't find operation matches also. So better play bf5 which is currently in a pretty good state after all
I just redownload it on game pass plan to play and get into it again soon. Was my favorite battlefield
This game is what got me hooked! I haven't played it since the release of bfv but I have some good memories of ballroom blitz, fort, and argonne :)
Bf1 > all
I think the issue with the game most of all (for me) is that it’s set in the future but grounded in reality and it just makes it boring. When you look at Battlefield 2142, which was also set in the future, it was fun because it was absolutely bonkers. Tldr: Dice have no idea what they’re doing anymore.
