BF2042 Seasons Ending; Connected BF Universe Plans Take Shape [Apr 09, 2024, 7:20 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
For every time, there is a season, but
Electronic Arts announces it is time for seasons to come to an end in
Battlefield 2042. The latest installment in the military shooter series will
continue to get updates, but Season 7 ending in June will mark the end of
seasonal updates. Full attention is now turning to the previously mentioned
Connected Battlefield Universe, intended as the next big thing for the series.
Word is Motive Studio is getting to work on that:
We know this news may be disappointing. However, as we looked at what the future of the series required, it became clear it was time for us to shift our resources and focus to be fully dedicated to what comes next.
As I’ve mentioned in previous updates, we have an ambitious vision to embrace and unlock the vast potential of the series’ class-based squadplay and immersive, intense battles.
To that end, Motive Studio – the talented developers known most recently for their work on the critically acclaimed remake of Dead Space and Star Wars: Squadrons – are building a team focused on Battlefield at their studio. We’re tremendously excited for Motive, as they are bringing their expertise with Frostbite and compelling storytelling to the fold, joining DICE, Criterion, and Ripple Effect in building a Battlefield universe across connected multiplayer experiences and single-player.
Battlefield 2042 has been an important chapter of the series we all know and love, and your feedback has been important in helping us build this game into something special while also assisting us in laying the foundation for the future. Battlefield is an experience that is defined by the passion of its community as much as its team-driven tactics and explosive battles, and I look forward to the day that we can tell you more about what’s coming next.

I've tried it multiple times on free weekends and whatnot, as well as EA's sub service, and even owning it and returning it.. It just never felt right, and was way too colorful. I hate the purely fictional weapons, and the specialists. It just feels gross, arcadey, and not as cinematic as previous iterations. I hope BF5 gets more love at least. Specialists felt way too forced. Just give us gadgets.

I played the heck out of BF1942 back in the day but this bloated cash cow is embarrassing and I will have nothing to do with it.
Kittens!
For me it depends on the studio. It was pretty easy to understand how the "No Man's Sky" situation spiraled out of control as it did before launch. Same with Colossal Order with Paradox's "City Skylines 2". I'm never not disappointed by a terrible release but I am more understanding in those cases. But with CDPR and DICE? One a rich developer who publishes its own games and the other a very lucrative studio with a long, storied history? I may have only a slightly better understanding of business than your average bear but that is far less forgivable in my view.

"The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality."

Every time I am tempted to try it out I remember how it shipped and it changes my mind quickly. JUST RELEASE A COMPLETE GAME FROM THE START. Battlefield fans aren't asking for a lot. I will very often wait until a game becomes what it should have been at launch and then buy it, but I find that happening less and less as time goes on. If your game is not finished, don't release it. Then we will stop hearing that broken games eventually became good after they already have vanished into obscurity.
Logically, they should do as you say, but realistically, this will most likely never happen again from any big gaming corporation. They still sell a ton, people still pre-order, they still sell cosmetics and other crap, etc. Then they fire most of the workers and let the game limp on for a few years. Games are also much more complex (on average) now, and have potentially a lot more bugs, that realistically take too long for a studio to fix ALL of them before release, without the studio going bankrupt.
That said, people do forget the old days of buggy releases, in the early days of the internet, where it was a hassle and a half to get any sort of patch.
I remember X-Com Terror From The Deep having a fatal bug in the quest/research line, that I had to call the company about finally. I think they mailed me a floppy disk? It was a laborious process.

So, one garbage multiplayer treadmill gets replaced by another garbage multiplayer treadmill. Gotcha, EA/Dice. The excitement is at 11.

I know it's popular to crap on this game but, I think they really did turn it around into a good game. I finally enjoy playing it more than BF4. It really hit its prime between seasons 6 and 7. It's a bit disappointing that now that the game is finally good, it's gone into maintenance mode. I'll still be playing it though.
I pwnz j00!
