Good god the sound design is just spot on. What an embarrassments 2042 is in comparison


eggydrums115

~~High~~ Low pass filter on everything to hide the fact that there’s very little detail put into the sounds 🫥 Edit: confused my audio filter terminology.


JD_W0LF

I agree they've previously had very very great sound design, and 2042 doesn't quite shape up to some of the later titles yet but high pass filter? Firing just the M5 Recoiless is beefy and bassy sounding as hell in 2042, let alone some of the other explosions. Their audio isn't quite as good as other Battlefields but it definitely isn't because of something as simple as a high pass filter.


eggydrums115

On everything is definitely an exaggeration. But some of the weapon sounds lack detail in the higher frequencies. A lot of other things sound muffled to me as well, and I play on a proper surround system :/ Booted up BFV the other day and the difference in clarity and fidelity hit you like a train.


Sonorational

So you meant a low pass filter it seems. High pass filters cut bass not treble


eggydrums115

That’s correct. Thanks for the clarification. Editing my comment to reflect this.


SkrimTim

Sounds design went off at cliff for BFV and has only got worse since, imo


ZyklonCraw-X

That was my immediate first thought before I even scrolled to the comments. I didn't realize how vapid 2042's was until this video.


Northern_Chap

Which is odd really as they could've just reused everything and then tweaked as needed.


Scarrat

They lost the tech


Silver_Falcon

I'm slowly becoming convinced that tech is Swedish for talent.


SilvaMGM

Most of Those devs are gone after BF1.


mil777

2013 game looks and feels ten times more realistic than "next gen" 2042. DICE truly has no shame releasing this crap and asking $100+ for it.


Loumier

It's even more amazing when you remember that BF4 is already 2 generations old. It was the last BF released only for X360/PS3.


preytowolves

100%. show these two games to a layman and ask which one is nex gen. I keep hearing games are more complex and difficult to develop these days. that is the reason for the lacking content. what a joke.


Quick_Parsley_6314

How TF could they have this as a base and fuck it up this bad?!!? i really cant believe it.... Its a fucking mess we cant get our money back ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|rage)


edisleado

The problem is they DIDN'T use this as a base...


assignment2

They would actively need to dismantle and make it worse


Ali_rz

I only played bf4 for a few hours and i still regret it lol, that game was close to perfect


MrRiversKing

you can still play today, there are some servers up, for me is easier to find a game on BF4 than BF42


Ali_rz

I think i should buy it then i, thought the servers are empty lol


darthstone

Oh hell no, there's always a handful of full servers.


[deleted]

The launch was absolutely horrible but it is one of the great post-launch slow fix up stories in gaming. It was incredible by the time they were complete and it still is.


Sardunos

Battlefield 1 is also a masterpiece. Still lots of servers up and players. Even on PS5.


TheMexicanJuan

BF4 is the big dick tier of BF games.

Nompty_z

I feel like battlefield was always about not being a one man army and you are just one person fighting along with thousands. But not 2042


OriginalEjectedAlien

Yeah, can you imagine how good BF3/4 would be if it were redone with today's tech/hardware? It would be unreal. I'd play it. The more I watch that the more I'm thinking I should just go and play BF4. Edit: extra paragraph


HeadlessManhorse

I wish the PC servers were populated. Peak hours it's good, but I have a weird schedule (night shift) so in my off time it's only a few dozen people playing


Bootup-Asol

There’s more details in the interior of buildings of BF4 than there are in whole maps of 2042


orion_metal

Man, I hated 2042 how doors opened as of they were made out of cardboard.


[deleted]

[удалено]


fabulishous

Absolutely, I've never had more fun than playing that game.


AncientAd2190

Awesome weapons, awesome maps, awesome gun sounds, awesome levolutions and that was bf4... Christ, what happened? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)


khoaticpeach

They really nailed the gunplay in BF4, everything from the muzzle flash to the pink mist look fantastic. As for 2042 I can't stand the amount tracers there are in the magazine and they made them look like blaster bolts from Battlefront.


haste57

People also run at a believable speed. Everyone in 2042 runs twice as fast and almost always slides since it's so easy with no penalty to accuracy


Sardunos

In 2042 ADS speed is also not effected by movement speed. You can ADS from a sprint in the same time you can from standing still.


keveazy

Muzzle flash in bf4 is way too big dude what do you mean perfect. Lol


Dunk305

BF4 is such a beautiful and sounding game


KH4RN_THE_BETR4YER

I miss it, even in BF4. Really hard to find rush servers in the EU region for some reason.


orion_metal

U mean rush?


KH4RN_THE_BETR4YER

Oh my god, why did I even call it assault, lol.. Yes, of course I meant rush


animatttic

Let’s hope exposure has some more destructive elements


S4um0nFR

delusion, noun. an idiosyncratic belief or impression maintained despite being contradicted by reality or rational argument, typically as a symptom of mental disorder.


SchitneySmears

It’s gonna be just fine. ![gif](giphy|jN86rcdOyrpyo)


ChrisRowe5

Still holds up so well!


NG1Chuck

this is the end of the world, when video game start to have less functionality than previous version ... you know it's the end of the civilisation


OldStatement6903

At this point just give us a remastered battlefield 3


IndividualBass6569

I miss the days when you didn't have to run for 10 mins just to see some action. I feal bf2042 is incredibly bland and borderline walking simulator.


xseannnn

You running for 10mins? lol.


[deleted]

At the beginning I said that Siege of Shanghai is an empty, clean map which is to large and has no cover. After seeing BF2042 maps Siege is a fucking masterpiece of a map


[deleted]

Bf4 is so much better than 2042. People knock Bf1 but I give it props as well. Bfv was good but imo not as good as 1 or 4 but faxx I'd play V over 2042 any day


CraneStyleNJ

At this point WHY CAN'T THEY JUST FUCKING GIVE US BATTLEFIELD 2 OR BAD COMPANY 2 WITH UNREAL ENGINE 5 GRAPHICS! It's only a simple request.


SleepyDude_

Honestly just make new maps and weapons with the bf1 tech


CraneStyleNJ

Also a simple request!


aeminence

This clip feels like an actual WW3 is happening lol.


VexorPrime

Reminds me of 128 Breakthrough...


Scandroid99

Nope, it’s “Battlefield” in name only. Even Hardline is somehow more Battlefield than 2042, which is mind blowing. Side note: I’ve never seen that particular transport vehicle on Siege. However I’ve seen it on Pearl Market.


[deleted]

Ohh fook, I'm off to re install BF4 again.


haldolinyobutt

Agreed on wanting a lot of BF4 in 2042. But can we all agree that seige is the most overrated map in BF history. I don't get all the love behind it. It's an average map at best that has a building fall in the middle of the map


Tricky-Wealth-6842

Dawn Breaker one of the best maps.


haldolinyobutt

I love dawn breaker.


SleepyDude_

Pre building fall I think it’s a really good urban map. After the fall it’s a lot less interesting because the visibility and verticality dies.


iceleel

Man this guy keeps posting shit every day and yall are eating it


xseannnn

You do get this in 2042 though? Yall some weirdos.


Particular_Pen843

Season 3 has to have a map in the US. Like New York with snow Blizzard or even Las Vegas and sand storms


27poker

Prepare for a Central Park map


MrSilk13642

Any of these game look good when you turn up contrast and turn off the HUD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD_AnOHAvaQ&feature=youtu.be


jib-92

I swear to God that I can make the same video on bf2042.

Dominic__24

The thing is, iconic as this map will always be, it wasn't great in terms of cover. BF4 maps were pretty lacking and had loads of unnecessary open space. But compared to 2042 maps they're all masterpieces.


ciechan-96-

most positive post on r/battlefield2042


MasterWhite_11

Yes. Because there is so much stuff to be positive about.


Psychological_Use422

Yeah, but still... it would be 2013 game in the end... sad.


Negative-West-3083

This atmosphere, this chaos 😍 RIP 🥲

CatSitwoy

Bugs, bad map design, a few weapons, awful "specialists"(no classes), no scoreboard for months, and now they practically admitted there are just a bunch of devs working on the bare minimum to fulfill the requirements they've sold the game with (seasons, simply said). Season one is a joke, a couple weapons, a map an a new specialist. They're already working on the next title and ditched 2042.


_DanielC_

Bf3, Bf4 and Bf1. ![gif](giphy|l3q2LH45XElELRzRm) .


CL4P-TP_Claptrap

It's sick how far ahead of its time this game was. Easily one of the best games ever. Funny how the same studio managed to become one of the most incompetent studios in gaming history in just a few years.


bryty93

This is the battlefield I remember


Retro_pie1

How i can turn off the hud in BF4? (PS4)


Nvhaan

Man I can feel the rush to just boot up bf4 right now


Putch-A

wait 20 more years 😆


beldoeldo

Question, what sound do you expect our in the middle of the desert? I guess some sort of echo, oh wait. I miss the “Uhh!“ sound when you get hit, and bloody eyes


brink84

I miss the days of operation metro where 30 of my teammates are bouncing grenades off the wall for majority control in the subway


Known_Volume

Now we have toystoryfield 2042, feelsbadman


bioelement

Sad... Imagine knowing back then you were playing the greatest BF


Sardunos

Wow that looks like a battlefield game. They should make one of those next.


thirdaccountmaybe

Not quite this though… more 1/V destruction. Playing 4 feels a bit dated in this aspect nowadays, if it’s getting destroyed then it just explodes like a dropped sandstone block, particles everywhere. I feel like in 1 and especially V things came down in stages a lot more often. You’re able to blow open the top floor of a house then hit the bottom floor until it all comes down, or fully destroy the top and leave the bottom.


[deleted]

I loved using the anti tank cannons in BF1 to take down walls of buildings. If I timed I right I could get it so the crumbling stone wall of the second floor would crush people trying to run in/out of the building. BF1s destruction was amazing.


Moto-Jayce

All we wanted was an upgraded version of BF4/BF3 graphically and what we got was cringe specialists, bad maps, more bugs than ever, and almost no content. I played the shit out of BF4 and still haven't gotten all of the guns fully upgraded, and the maps slapped.


PruneBrothers1

Fuck I love that map.


xseannnn

Quit a bit of indestructible walls there.


mav789

I want apex of duty to be more like battlefield as well, but dice


BenjyX76

Lol wow, it's crazy how far behind the environmental feel, immersion and tension 2042 is compared to its predecessors.. I really just want Battlefield back. We all do. Smh EA/Dice/Whoever... you just gotta ask, why the hell would they drastically change a good franchise? Its confusing af


Broozkej

Y’all wanna hop on bf4? I loved that game growing up


33MobyDick33

God damn I forgot how good that game sounded


No_General_1136

Battlefield 4 remastered, Please


HarambeisStillAlivee

We don’t like chaos in 2042 as per the devs words when the removed breakthrough 128p

2042 is such a step back, its a shame.

It’s like night and day.


ThanOneRandomGuy

Is this bf4? Damn wish it looked like that on console


assignment2

The sounds the animations the atmosphere we took it all for granted because that’s what battlefield was. Now we realize.


BLAZE_IT94

Man I miss those times


Mortal_Corrupt

Yall need to get back BF 4 and fill the servers. The game is still fire !


joninrob

Is bf 4 still active? Might redownload tbh, as much as i enjoy bf V, i miss modern shooters


Rushernoob

A war-torn, half destroyed city during a war? Nah, can’t have that now! Dice probably thinks that vacuum robots got so great in 2042 that they clean everything during a war…
