In terms of gameplay, I find that the inclusion of Specialists complete ruins the Battlefield experience since the traditional classes don't exist anymore. They are simply unlikeable to their core and act like war is a fun game of paintball or hide and seek. I found their end-game taunts so annoying and cringy that it's almost impossible to connect and love any of them.
#COUNTER STRIKE 1.6 GUNS CODE#
Every match you'll see dozes of the same characters, running around the map without any colour code that would help you distinguish between an ally and enemy team. Sadly, the bleakness of Battlefield 2042's background story does not reflect at all the actual game and that's mainly due to the snarky Specialities who don't look, sound or feel authentic and are completely out of place in such a grim setting. On paper, this sounds incredibly interesting and sets the stage for an immersive experience within the game with a strong potential for a cinematic and faithful atmosphere that could even match Battlefield 1's deception of WW1. They are ordinary people who band together to survive and ultimately become an important factor in economic, military and social policies. These catastrophic events left millions of people without their homes, painting a grim picture for the future of the human species. Cities are being ravaged by natural disasters like tornadoes, hurricanes and sandstorms. The world has gone to shit due to climate change, collapsing economies, global shortages and a shadow war between the US and Russia. And it hurts me, as a Battlefield fan to say it so firmly. So, does Battlefield 2042 scratch that Battlefield itch? Did DICE manage to create a truly memorable title after the disappointing Battlefield V? Will Battlefield 2042 go down as the best Battlefield title of all time? The simple and short answer is a resounding no.
#COUNTER STRIKE 1.6 GUNS SERIES#
Sixteen years since the release of Battlefield 2, EA and DICE have launched their first next-gen shooter in Battlefield 2042, promising plenty of groundbreaking features and a true Battlefield, all-out-war, experience that fans of the series have learned to love over the last decade. Battlefield 2 had large scale military combat with choppers, tanks, naval vehicles, plenty of weapons and most importantly, a finely tuned gameplay for hundreds of hours of fun. Back then, when Counter-Strike 1.6 was the most popular shooter among the kids, Battlefield 2 introduced something that we've never seen before in a shooter game.
I've been a fan of the Battlefield franchise since Battlefield 2 and my early high-school days.
