Augmented reality games suck so far.  VR is at least fun for a few games.

It was a very one sided event.

That is sucky

Even after all the hate reviews I tried Chimera Squad and it was good.  might be do to me not playing the older games but I enjoyed it.

Those were some awesome matches!

Seems like you are doing much more videos as a normal.

Gears 3 was may favorite part of the series.  just did not seem to be the same game after the originals

It is a hard to beat classic.  Although Halo may have beat it this year!

Vanguard isn't all too bad, but ya.... Infinite is crazy good.

Guess I’ll be sitting on these parts for a while. Bring a PC is rough sometimes.

My one friend has been trying to build a PC for over a year now and still hasn't been able to get everything in.

I have been trying to love 2042, but it is just not going well.

So far I'd say Warzone as it keeps being good well the new CoD are not that great.

Battlefield 4 without a single doubt.

Welcome!! 

The game is awful

My pc is a prebuilt but I game on a playstation.

First Person all the way, I find nearly every third person shooter to be "chunky" feeling and less immersive.

Chunky is a good word for why I can never get into 3rd person.  The whole delayed aim, first person sniping, etc etc. Is just not as smooth as a good first person shooter.

Call of Duty for me

Battlefield 2042 came out firing with a massive level of hype that drove it through a monstrous FPS release market coming in Holiday 2021 with the likes of Halo Infinite and Call of Duty Vanguard.  However, that hype seems to have been put to the test with the recent open beta for 2042 as players got to experience the game for themselves firsthand.

First came the bugs, the game was full of them to the point that players encountered problems with nearly every feature of the game, and numerous game-breaking bugs would decide the outcome for many players’ games.  Dice released a statement that stated the game used in the beta was “months old” and most of the bugs were fixed already.  This statement was received with a lot of question marks and confusion as the open beta was a massive marketing push for the game and they are claiming they willingly choose a bad version of the game to show off.

Although the key complaints wouldn’t flood in until players started to notice some major gameplay changes from previous Battlefield games that seemed to be unanimously disliked.  Destructible environments, one of the most key and enjoyed features of the series, have been removed in favor of a few scripted style destruction points in buildings and on the map.

Vehicles just didn’t feel like a battlefield game and worst of all, specialists somehow added classes of characters you can play, but also removed the “classes” part of Battlefield.  Squad teamwork has been such a major (and loved) focus point of Battlefield and now players have no idea who to turn towards for more ammo, healing, etc.  Players can freely switch equipment between specialists, and this is nice for a Call of Duty style game but very confusing for a squad-based game like Battlefield.

Gunplay was good, but seemed basic and forgiving for a Battlefield game and some players even pointed out that it felt like a fancy mobile shooter with how easy recoil was to manage.  Although outside of the gunplay itself, the core gunfighting of the game itself was lacking.  Revives were basically nonexistent, teamwork was reduced to simple team spawns, and the game as a whole just seemed to lack all of the glory that makes Battlefield an amazing shooter.

Hopefully, these issues are not as bad as they seem.  Perhaps, the destruction issues were limited to the map they released for the beta and others will be better.  Also some better indication on who has ammo and more rewards to encourage reviving and other teamwork would certainly be nice.

Ya, I can toss in the title screen or something to this article if you like.  It is normally effective to just screenshot the loading/title screen of the game if you can't find anything better.

I sent you a PM as I am a bit confused.  Thank you!

Oh thank god! The new BR is so satisfying! 

@Uncrowned Guard I have no idea what to use as an image for this!

This looks good!

Battlefield 2042 Orbital Map has a rocket that you can make explode during the game.  It is pretty cool and you should make sure you do it at least once!

Once the large arms that hold the rocket in place lower down to expose the rocket it is fair game to ruin it!  Just start firing anything and everything explosive at the base of the rocket until it changes it's appearance to a burning shell and then it will take off and explode!  this will alter the map around and might kill you in the process.  

The amount of damage needed is quite high and the timeframe is only a few minutes.  So you may need to use multiple players and vehicles to achieve this, but might sure you at leas blow the thing up once!
