That's what conquest is for, lots of vehicles so you can hop on a boat or heli and get there in no time.

I will pre-order, I'm gonna buy it anyways, I always do. BF is my jam, even when they are not at their best, there is nothing else like them.

For anyone looking to actually preorder on PC, cdkeys is $57, a lot cheaper. No tax.

BFV did have it's problems... but it's still been my favourite FPS since it was released. Never really enjoyed the new call of duty. I'll be buying BF 2042 for sure, even if there are some issues with it.

Yeah. It's impossible to stop cheating outright but whats makes the game unfun is when its outright blatant. For that kind of stuff it's simple to move them onto another server with just bots. The cheaters just want to feel like they're using players as bots so just put them on a server with bots and don't tell them. EA can even clone the server so mid game they get booted off and don't even realize they're put onto a server against bots.

Otherwise community servers are the best way to police and moderate. The community will always volunteer some effort to keep their territory clean, but EA didn't offer this until BFV was well in the decline.

Not all maps have vehicles readily available all the time. You get people immediately jumping on to a helicopter just to crash it immediately with you in it. Or people immediately jumping on to other land vehicles and immediately high tailing it out of there without waiting for other people. Yes, you get good games where people wait or you get crappy games where people leave you to run the whole entire map.

Unlikely. You'll recall tat the source code for this game got leaked when EA/DICE got hacked not that long ago.

Huh? What do those games have to do with pre-ordering?? Every highly rated and award-winning game was available for preorder at some point. Y'all fear-mongering making less and less sense every day. Ppl can do what they want with their own money.

The issue with BF games is that they get discounted shortly after release and every year you get a new version of the game that is paid and not free unlock for people who own the vanilla version.

that's not how online games work anymore, all maps are free no dlc or expansions, the maps being dlc used to divide the user base and games stepped away from that, Now it's all free as they come and cosmetics and such are available through the battle pass.

No you didn’t understand what I said. I never mentioned DLCs or maps. I meant weapon and gadget unlocks and operators which you can pay to unlock.

You either like BF or you don't, You can expect a bad launch week, as all online game, although if its proper servers then it should even be good too. BF isn't known for massive bugs, so I don't see much of a problem.
LOL. BF4 was buggy AF at the beginning. One of my favourites was the spreading black landscape when you spawned in.

They did eventually fix it, and it is still my favourite BF, but to state that no Battlefield game has been buggy on release is no less than selective memory. I preorder zero these days.

You don't get it guys. It's nothing about the bugs/glitches. It's about the war against supersoldiers.
Bugs can be fixed for sure but how you can fix those broken souls.
Good luck if you play on pc.

in 2042 vehicles drop on demand, you just call for it and it drops wherever you want it to.

You'll notice in the video at the 58 seconds mark.

sweet. so they have vending machines for vehicles now. lol. i bet you, you call one vehicle in and before you get close enough to it, someone closer will immediately jump into it and high tail it. happens a lot on the black ops zombie game where you get items for doing trials. each person who does the trial and succeeds gets their own rewards. but they way the system works is you have to "click" on a machine (and each player has their own machine) and it'll pop out the rewards on the ground where you have to pick it up. i've had people just swoop in stealing my reward once the machine pops it out.

Camping on maps isn't hard to get kills like that. I'm 99% sure he's a camping sniper with that Death count.
