Battlefield 2042 - the next game in the series where we examine the major leaks and rumours prior to a game’s full release. On a personal level, this is one I have been looking forward to the most. Having played Battlefield since BF2 on PC waaaaay way back, flying jets through the pipes in Kubra Dam, I have always had a soft spot for Battlefield.
2021’s entry for the franchise sees the player jump just over 20 years into the future, while the game itself seems to have jumped 20 years backwards. Gone are traditional classes, the impeccable movement system that has been improved upon iteration upon iteration, and just many design choices that fans wouldn’t tolerate 5 games ago cough where is my scoreboard cough.
Perhaps the only way to look forward as to why these problems exist is to look back, and perhaps some of the bigger rumours and leaks that had shown their heads during development can shine a spotlight onto what the game is today. I have my theory…and I …
Whether people like it or not, the Free-to-Play business model is here to stay. At least for the foreseeable future. Since F2P games are now a cornerstone of the gaming industry, especially on PC, I strongly believe there should be an official grade, rating, or scale for what constitutes a F2P game, as well as what type of purchases it contains.
Not all F2P games are created equally. There are many F2P games that paywall substantive gameplay related content (Classes, Quests, Continents, Time Played, Weapons, Armor, Levels, etc.), without giving a player any method of earning said content through in-game means.
I’d argue that in doing so, a “Free-to-Play” game is no longer free. It has morphed into a modern day demo, or “Free-to-Try” (FTT). There is a world of difference between a truly F2P game and a FTT. A publisher (EA, Sony, Microsoft) and/or distribution platform (Steam, EPIC, Origin) should absolutely have to make this distinction to potential …
Just a PSA cause Its awesome and I know a lot of people have them.
Edit: I should mention I knew they could do this but I thought you had to buy something.
Edit 2: you do need the bridge though
Edit 3: I’ve been trying it out in game and its really good, its very accurate if you set up your “entertainment zone” correctly in the app. This is wild and really adds to the game. Its 3D too, cause you can set the position and height of your lignts. There is a very small amount of latency but not enough to notice unless youre really looking for it.
Project L has me excited for the possibility of a PC fighting game with a gigantic pool of active daily users. I haven’t played a fighting game since the early days of Street Fighter 4, which had a local scene in my city. Suddenly curious about fighting games again, I looked up current active player counts. Thought I’d share for anyone else curious.
