Hey Guys, I just bought BF 2042 on discounted price. but sadly, I dont see anybody players here, where are they? Is it a dead game? I am hooping that it is a good game like Delta Force.

AND HE HASN'T SEEN A CHEATER ONCE! Despite us being together on the server when dude was full-autoing headshots on people mid-air 400 meters away :D incl. me
As for you OP, try turning on Crossplay and making sure your firewall doesn't block you
Still at least few thousand people playing the game daily, so there's should be
someone

Its not perfect, but it provides the best large scale battles and sandbox experience of the franchise. It was my favorite game before BF6 released and killed the playerbase.

To further elaborate, the amount of agency each player has in 2042 is on another level. In BF6, I feel I don't make any meaningful choices and simply shoot whatever is in front of me 99% of the time.

Casual bf6 is a red dorito hunting simulator. its very easy with that spotting system, HC isn't bad though. 6 feels 2042/mw22/bf3ish all in one, but i've been unable to wrap my arms around it like most other battlefields. also every vehicle in 2042 is cooler/controls better than 6's counterpart

Last time I played I was getting lobbies with 80-90% bots. It's still playable.

I was a tank main in 2042. BF6 tank gameplay is the most infuriating experience ever. I could rant for hours on that topic.

Not worth my time. If you look up videos of top tank players in both games, a lot of the problems with BF6 are very obvious. The core issues are that tanks get funneled down only a couple viable paths and spend more time reacting to threats than doing any sort of strategy. They have dumbed it down severely.

Thats what happens when the development changes to a COD team thats only known for medium to small scale gameplay and 3 to 5 set paths. But they claimed it was going back to basics which it clearly did not, The community managers are another problem they operate on entire censorship but the reviews continue to go down
