Battlefield 2042
You’ve probably seen the videos and/or our own reporting on everything wrong with Battlefield 2042, but DICE’s latest entry in the long-running military first-person shooter is the epitome of “not ready for primetime.” Vehicles were busted. Some buildings lacked collision. Players were blowing up tanks with goddamn sniper rifles, for crying out loud. This shit isn’t normal. It’s so abnormal, in fact, that Battlefield 2042 became Steam’s worst-reviewed game in November. And even during its early access period, in which some paid more to check out the game before its official release, players reported excessive crashing issues on Xbox consoles. EA plans to significantly patch the game while building out a Battlefield universe, but it’s beyond evident that this “realistic” shooter came out severely underbaked.
