Are you still playing it?

I’ve seen a lot of people praising the game in the previous days. I’m one of them. I wish this game would never die.

I am still playing 2042 whenever I get the chance. I feel like Battlefield 6 is bad on many levels and not a game for me. I tried it multiple times, and as a vehicle player, the only somewhat satisfaction that I had was playing domination on Blackwell fields. The TTK is a complete disaster for both infantry and vehicle gameplay. I hate how everything revolves around one shotting.

I really like the sandbox in BF2042 and it feels like it’s nonexistent in BF6. You have so many options and you can have fun in many ways, compared to BF6.

Last night I hopped on NA servers and I had a lot of fun with my NA friends. BF6 would never provide such fun.

I wish more people would play 2042. That’s why I was asking: if you praise the game, are you still playing it?
Maybe we can revive it a bit?

I joined 2042 pretty late in its lifespan, I really enjoyed it although admittedly it was my first entry into the series, I loved the gunplay and the unlocking progression felt nice. Having distinct specialists also added an element of mastering one specific character etc, and also learning to counter the other specialists, idk I really liked 2042

Yes I still play. I don’t have much time to play as I used to. But with 2300 hours in the game, I still prefer the vehicles over anything. The physics might not be 100% realistic but if I wanted realism I’d go play squad or arma. 2042 will forever be one of my favorite shooters

2042 was my first battlefield that I’ve played as well. I’ve sunk thousands of hours in it and I’m still not bored. That’s why I was saying, this game can provide all kinds of fun and you can master many aspects of it.

I hop on every couple of weeks. I still have a blast with it when it’s not filled with bots

Yes, from time to time . I love the maps and their size. Also gunplay is good.

I joined when they released Nordvik.

I play a lot. I've never BF6. I was told to stay away months ago. This game is so fun, I just end up forgetting about life things. Anxiety and stuff.

I recommend you try BF1 and V. They are also really great.

I realized that adding a bunch of people that regularly play the game, will help a lot. Whenever you find bot lobbies, you can join their games.

I tried BF1 a year or so ago and it wasn’t my taste. I remember trying BF V on a console but I only played the campaign for a couple of missions. I didn’t know you could play multiplayer back then. I like the modern setting of 2042 way more though.

Playing BF6 feels like playing on those obscure portal 1000% damage servers in 2042.
