Reddit user Jellyswim decided to compile an exhaustive list of things that were found in previous Battlefield games that didn’t make it into Battlefield 2042‘s base game (minus Portal), and while much of the complaints are subjective, we can see why Jellyswim’s list went viral. It’s pretty long, and a surprising read at times.
Highlights include:
No standard server browser
Fewer standard game modes, like Team Deathmatch
No standard hardcore mode
No persistent lobbies (requiring matchmaking after every round)
Less character customization options
No profile progress/stats page in the menu
No battle log/stats tracker for other players
No global leader boards
Fewer guns
Fewer infantry gadgets
No manual leaning
No diving while swimming
No high wall vaulting
No crouch sprinting
No backwards prone
No explosion knockback
No rolling after falling from heights
No ammo or health pickup off teammates
Fewer vehicle types
No naval vehicles
No vehicle enter/exit animations
No player damage points
No vehicle damage points
No vehicle kill assist points
Fewer base game maps
No static weapon emplacements
Less control customization options
Less UI customization options
No HUD/icon opacity customization
No HUD scaling customization options
No network performance graph
No individual player scoreboard
Jellyswim’s list is twice the size of these highlights and is broken down into segments. Suffice to say, Battlefield 2042‘s change in direction got off on the wrong foot. For its part, DICE has said that it’ll address some of the most pressing issues soon.
