Battlefield saved me from suicide.

Cery001 · 5 Apr 2026 at 11:36 · permalink

Back in 2022, I was having a extreme depressive episode. I remember the day exactly. I was really in pain, and I couldn't take it anymore. But that day, Therussianbadger released a video about battlefield 2042. I watched it with tears, but it actually seemed like a game that was actually worth playing in a long time. I bought it. And the amount of happiness I felt playing the game was insane. it's still holds up to this day. I am really greatful for battlefield 2042 developers for making this game. It helped me find a few friends, ones who I still talk with. i really just wanna say thank you. I am greatful for what you guys have did.

Can’t be that bad if bf2042 was able to cure it

After battlefield 6 , 2042 must be treated with higher praise.

Just like bf v was praised after 2042 lol

Battlefield 6 even in the state it's in is still a better game than 2042

Pretty interesting point of view when you aren't considering how modern gaming works. Release game , hit or miss, immense fixes+ new content over 2 yr mark. Poof a good game ! Cmon dawg be real with yourself. These are all good games eventually in this day and age. Again to your surprise people enjoy them at different levels, and consequently have a story to tell 👋

I still remember people shitting on bf3 lol , bf3 was my baby but people shit on it heavily at that time. "ITs nOt BaTtLeFiElD bAD cOmPaNy DeStRuCtIoN" , even bf1 got hate for being boring or slow paced.

Cant please everyone lol

I was kinda more about the aspect that a game can heal your existential crisis to the point where you dont suicide because you play bf2042 now.

I can totally understand that. Lots of people say Minecraft saved them. I think thats also an interesting take. Games are really powerful, bro could've assumed a role of the new operators in his head and fought the battle in game 💯 who knows

I played 100+ hours of 2042 and have similar in bf6. 2042 is a game I'll never go back to. It was fun while it was the current battlefield but did nothing special.

Funnily enough, trying to please everyone is how we ended up with BF6 lol

100% agree. BF6 is fantastic and the stuff they are adding has been making it even better.
