What I remember about playing Battlefield 2042's beta is... is how broken it was... Also if you watched my Vanguard video then you know I thought Battlefield 2042 was gonna MURDER Call of Duty this year like they did with Battlefield 1. But... I could never have prepared myself for what I witnessed...
GG man. I’ll probably pick up 2042 in a couple months if they fixed it by then.
Do a revisit of shadow of war. You treated it to harshly
@@galaxspace1 I call it Battlezone 2042.
Relax it's just a beta
Welp it murders something alright it murdered our expectations for a battlefield game I mean this beta makes bf4 at launch look sane and 2042s launch will be cancer I guarantee. Cod is just boring at this point what’s there to be hyped about anymore it seams like gaming is just dying out from a forced death
Had 2 copies of battlefield 2042 in my car and someone broke in and left 2 more
The horror 😆
good joke
This comment is simply masterpiece
What does that mean? They happened to have them on their person and accidentally dropped them in there while going through your car? Sell them then idiot
Ended up leaving money for you. Like here’s my condolences. Good luck😢
this makes me appreciate 343 & MS for delaying Halo Infinite
Its nice that halo is shaping up to be the king FPS this year. But I wish battlefield was in better shape I really do.
Infinite isn't even out yet I bet it's gonna have a bad launch, remember the launch of MCC
Honestly I feel all these shooters felt lackluster, cod, halo and battlefield just feel meh to me now
@@phurion. let's wait and see
@@phurion. MCC was 4 games packed into one before 343 was ready lol.
It's fucking hilarious how many people were defending this game when Act Man was exposing the bugs and glitches. Beta back then =/= Beta today. Nowadays a Beta is just early access.
rly? I think beta nowadays is just a mean to promote the game. I mean, how can they work on beta feedbacks in like a month or few weeks before the release date? Not to mention, it's hilarious to see how fanboys' expectation goes down the shitter when they think it's ok to release a broken game in day-1. I don't remember buying any NES or PS1 game that's broken at launch and the dev said "it's gonna fix soon, trust us!"
Most betas are demos or in all actually realy just server stress tests. A beta a month before launch is a demo. That is the product you are getting on launch unless they put out a day 1 patch that fixes the issues. Back4blood went gold during its "beta" which is hilarious. Beta is a buzzword anymore and doesn't really represent where the product actually is at in its development cycle. At least it isn't for these "triple A publishers"
No, a beta is not early access, it’s mostly today there to generate hype for the game before launch and it will be almost the exact same game at launch day.
@@Icetea-2000 right it's essentially a demo with a buzzword on it
Beta = game testing by costumer.
Imagine taking player feedback after releasing a broken, unplayable mess that even the core gameplay doesn't slightly resemble previous games, and responding to it with "Your expectations are brutally unrealistic"
At this point, I honestly belive that me and a few of my drinking buddies could make a better bf game... no experience in game design, but honesly at least it would feel like bf, well more than this anyway

@@jamestruthbernard this game is absolute fucking trash. I’m actually disappointed they were fine with releasing this poor excuse of a FPS

Wait so its still bad? Lol i was hoping theyd make it way better by launch?
I'm convinced EA was making a battlefield Battle-Royale game, and they decided to change it last minute and turn it into a mainline entry in the series.
Its sad that this actually makes the most sense
Lmaoo never thought of it that way but now that you say it, I think that might have been the case lolol. Game is a mess and probably the worst beta I’ve ever played.
I’m pretty sure that is actually what happened according to early leaks
Feels like EA and DICE were real fuck jealous of Infinity Ward of how well MW2019 and Warzone did.MW2019 sold 58M copies and Warzone had 200m Downloads. We're seeing experiencing all of this right now
@@wolfmelody2787 fr? Where did you find out?
Turns out... it's still a mess, an absolute mess. As a 20 year veteran of the Battlefield franchise, this breaks my heart, but in a way it makes me laugh out loud because it is sooooo fuuuuuucking bad. The Patreon comment about the ladders fits perfectly, how dense you have to be to fuck up LADDERS!? I mean... LADDERS!?!?!?!?
Wait... how is it still an absolute mess? I have near negative expectations for the game, but it kept driven down and down.
@@chrinaldi I don't have the game myself, but it seems like the devs have just given up. The game has less players than bf1, bfV and even less than bf4 at times. The game is just unsalvageable, which is a shame.

Sweet Jesus, I just got a picture in my head when you said "Automotive Industry" "Yeah, I know that hundreds of our cars have spun out and killed passengers, but come on, guys. We're still learning here. The final product is always more important than the launch product!" Of course, a bad video game by no means is equivalent to deadly defective car, but it does show how stupid that mindset can be.
after bf5 who could have ever guessed this?
Sadly noo
Idk I knew it was gonna be not great but not terrible

Tbf the BF5 beta was pretty fun… am I the only one? It was super crap but fun
"Don't worry, bro. It's just a beta. They'll fix it by launch."
I’m getting some serious “No mans sky” PTSD from this comment

No, they will not fix haha because is EA

I love it when people give criticism to a “open beta” that’s only days or a month before release and people who are missing their frontal lobe come at you with “it’s the beta” if this was a beta then they should released it months prior not just a few weeks before release. Betas are builds of the game that are playable to the public if developers deem so, but still at a point where it needs to be developed and so they should’ve released it way ahead of time to allow players to test and report bugs, glitches, and criticism. “Betas” like 2042 and halo infinite’s play testing are laughable to call beta.
I agree in everything my dude
I played an alpha that 8 months later came into the closed beta state and by the time I got to play it was genuinely different in presentation and content. Even then, the date of release is still TBD. That's genuinely how this type of testing is supposed to be done.
Betas are supposed to be a Beta... i will say not more....My brain cells are dying reading the comments.

I had a friend in high school who wanted to become a game developer and started to make a horror game alongside her boyfriend. It was pretty basic and in her own words, generic: a haunted mansion with a bunch a different ghosts in it. They were making the game on weekends; sometimes I helped with some parts of the script; she used the Unreal Engine in the most basic way possible. Unfortunately, I've moved on and lost contact with the two, but let me tell you: three highschoolers with minimal knowledge on game making could make a much better PRE-ALPHA than an open beta to a multi-million videogame.

Why is nobody talking about the fact that every single new game that comes out is broken, underwhelming, disappointing or just not fun? The whole industry is in shambles

Unfortunately by “Largest dev team ever”, DICE just means most overly complex mess ever produced. Worst part is they’ll pin it on employees, layoffs ensue, and the managers and executives get fat bonuses for this decision making.
Yeah, largest dev team ever along with the challenges of working remotely due to covid is probably the root cause for the mess this is.
@@dbw166 that’s no excuse , u are given the tools to still do your job and the difference is u not in the same place… I will use one example, South Park does an episode in 1 week - that includes writing , animation , voice recording, mixing etc and they too had to work during lockdown but still pulled it off…so the lockdown excuse doesn’t cut it bud considering they had YEARS to develop the game , cod comes out every year and these guys had years including big teams and still fuk up… no excuses!!
This industry is fucked im pretty sure not all others can follow this ridiculous notion
To be fair, i was fucking diying of laughther because the game looked like an schizofrenics acid trip, and also i think it is the Xbox versión the one that's broken beyond repair but still you are completly right this is unaceptable and all the Blame should fall on the higher ups

Our standards have fallen so low that simply releasing a finished game with no bugs is already considered an achievement worthy of praise.
And i think that was the worst mistske from our part
Well yeah because with every new game, the standards are higher, more ceilings need to be broken, the modern limits are pushed, more innovation and creativity is required so naturally, these things will come with consequences. Some of these games will have bugs… as long as they are willing to fix it and polish it even more, I’m willing to be patient.

-deadlines -lack of morale -lack of passion due to your talents being sold as a product -budget -shitty work environment -covid Want me to keep going?
@@bigsmoke8816 Okay but how can they release the game in that state and think to themselves, “Yeah this game is good“ ? How are they so confident in releasing a game in such a horrible state?
@@MohdQil that's the neat thing: they arent Its either this or getting shut down by EA for being "inefficient"
Watching that gameplay actually gave me a headache. Just when I thought EA and DICE couldn’t louse up a game’s launch bigger than Battlefront….
It’s worrying when a game over 5 years older not only runs better but looks better
Yeah. Feels like EA/Dice completely replaced the people who made the game from 5 years ago.
It runs better probably because there's more stuff going on in 2042 tbf
@@sirtoxic5147 that’s not a excuse?
@@brotherhoodofsteel5254 Do you know how creating games and making them run properly works bro? Not excusing a company as big as them, but still I feel like you don't on a scale of a game such as this lol. Plus, who even said I was excusing them?
@@sirtoxic5147 you are making a excuse on why the game runs poorly, battlefield 1 was a huge game for the time and it wasn’t nearly as bad as this
It's sad when basic functionality becomes a feature to be added sometime after launch.
Omg that hit hard
It really is. Downright pathetic. But on launch day there's gonna be a bunch of streamers playing it with their shocked, wide-eyed, open-mouthed faces on the thumbnails of their videos acting like they're having the time of their lives. And it'll still be in raggedy shape.
@@Xayjohns Streamers AKA paid shills.
The fact that modern games can have tens to hundreds of millions of dollars pumped into them, and still not manage to include basic features like a scoreboard properly in a multiplayer PvP FPS - is absolutely atrocious. Features that have been implemented by solo developers and tiny teams in countless indie games with ease, and which were common place in FPS games 20 years ago! It's absolutely atrocious to see development that was this obviously mismanaged.
You’re all laughing now. But when the year 2042 comes, assuming we don’t blow up the entire earth by then, and real life becomes this glitchy and chaotic; the prophecy will be proven right. You will see. *You will all see.*
Bro some director should make a movie about this (dead serious here) *LMAO*
"2042 is gonna kill cod" Bro cod AND battlefield are killing themselves Like, tf 💀
They also let halo win, if 343 doesnt ruin it though.
That was originally what it looked like, but damn did the first CG trailer of Battlefield 2042 make everyone believe it to be the CoD killer. Halo Infinite is gonna be the true winner of FPSs this holiday.
@@randomhaloplayer918 lets hope
@@generalcjg idk. This is 343 we’re talking about. They’ll find some way to ruin it. Hopefully not, but it’s very likely based on their track record.
@@generalcjg I don't understand how people still get suckered into trailers as if it proves that the game is going to be amazing. My friend was always splooging about Cyberpunk 2077 for 3-4 years as if he was a kid in a candy shop. Look how that game turned out. He quietly played it, never said anything about it, and hasn't played it since release
Remember when EA said that this game will be a love letter for the dedicated fans all over the world? Now we know how much love they got for us
When you finally realize you are the battered spouse in an abusive relationship.
If this game was supposed to be a love letter, then BF1 was had to have been a throat purring, passionate blowjob in comparison. I think the words EA was searching for is “flaming sack of shit at the doorstep of dedicated fans.”
Sounds like many of the consumers and suckers they keep supporting these companies

What was the last generation we consistently got completed and (reasonably) polished games on release? PS3/Wii/Xbox 360 era, I think.
Well, what do you know. The game is literal trash. The only way they bring back the playerbase, is remaking the game, fixing it, and a content update all at once.
Y’all remember when a beta come out around June/July and if there was issues, they would have them fixed by November and the game was fun and playable at launch. Good ole days
Name one game as you mention because that's a lie.
@@originaldelta literally halo infinite That they ended up DELAYING Thats why good company is

@Hugo Sr2123 if the game takes 3 years to make you think maybe 3 months before release it would be almost done ? You're dumb kid
Let’s not go that far
@@butterfinger4393 it's happened before tho.
@Hugo Sr2123 It’s ass and you damn well know it. There is nothing I hate more than people in denial.
I truly don't know how much "cheated" and straight fooled we need to be, before comprehending that Pre-alphas, alphas, betas, charlies and juliets reflects the final project four out of five times --- everytime... In AAA games in such a scale as BF, it's basically ludicrous to imagine they will fix everything, optimize to hell&back and give a fresh and bettered layer of paint in less than 3 months or so... I'm not a vengeful person, but I really wanted to see the dozen of people that tried to convince me that "betas doesn't reflects the final product" and "the final shit will be 900% better", in their eyes.
Months later still bugged and no new content
I’m both happy, and saddened to be able to say I lived through a time in which games used to be completely finished, (appropriately) bug free, and instantly playable on release day. Man those were the days
Good times when developers didn't had the option to update the game later. Of course it had its cons, but at least most studios did their best to release the game as good as possible. Even if the game was bad for any reason, it was finished. Nowadays every release is a gamble moment for the customers. Only after the release we get sure if the trailers were actually real or just a scam.
Agreed
Remember when pre orders were actually viable?
@@Yokaiiisama They never were imo.

The funny thing is, aside from the bugs, this game doesn't look anymore advanced than Battlefield 3. Which came out ELEVEN years ago.

Do you know that Vanguard had only 13-14 months of development.DICE even said "Were 5 months ahead of schedule" and gets delayed for a month. And BF5 was released in November 2018. And BF2042 is going to come out in November 2021.
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!
You should be on stage man - this was just what I needed to cheer me up. Comedy gold!
the single, shit assassination animation is 100% because they're probably going to add other animations as cosmetics same for why specialists of both teams look the same, they'll probably sell skins for them and won't bother making two versions of the same skin for the two different teams
Wonder why they removed first person Takedowns to 3rd person that Battlefield had for 10 years in BF3,BF4,BF1,BF Hardline and BF5. Funny how Infinite Warfare,COD WW2,MW,BOCW and Vanguard has 1st person takedowns in Campaign but MW2019,BOCW, Vanguard have 3rd person takedown in MP.That shows what Battlefield is going towards to be a MW clone. Did anyone expect this after BF5?
Is this wasn't a company like EA, I'd be more distrustful of that idea, but...
You can tell that they are making video games like products on an assembly line whereas they used to be made by groups of people with passion for their work, the 2000-2012/2015ish era for games was better than what we’ve gotten lately
early 2000s to 90s were peak gaming change my mind
Video games aren’t the same no more makes me sad and not really encouraging to look forward to new games
Yeah you can tell all passion is gone and it's just a money making machine. I realized this in 2015 when every game started doing the same thing. Oh Fortnite is big? Well let's all copy that hype. Not to mention there's been nothing new as of late. All these games are the same. First person shooters with different maps. I can't recall the last time some crazy new idea popped up like a medieval rpg or something like a new Western game. It's all just easy shooters to get money
@@spaghettisauce1104 new world is pretty fun man..that and Valheim with a bunch of friends is super fun. I highly recommend since the latter is very indie. :) Just gotta find the niche stuff. And you'll really love VRchat if you wanna just be social and make friends, even without a headset. It's worth. Today I have a class scheduled to learn sign language so I can communicate with people who are either Mute or socially anxious. And then meditation afterwards at 8pm :) Little stuff like that is what really brings community together. Art classes and game programming classes and such being held by people who are passionate. And are needed more than ever these days.
@DOSboi Aidan it baffles me that there are so many unexplored genres in games that I've wanted since like 2000. I mean youre gunna tell me no company is gunna try and make a tripe A wild west game besides rockstar or a pirate game besides Ubisoft? Sucker punch is the only recent company that I can think of that's even pulled off a good samurai game in the last decade.
Imagine having epilepsy and the last thing you do is play the battlefield 2042 beta
The worst thing about the animations is that interpolation between key frames is all it would have taken them to get it from 1980s to 2010s quality. It is a super simple function.
I want 2042 to be good so bad.. but I’ve been playing bf4 more lately and I hate to say it but it’s is much more fun. The state bf4 is currently in is near perfection for an FPS.
I just wish the projectiles weren't so slow
I would argue to my grave that BF4 was and still is one of the best FPS shooters ever. Countless weapons to use that even people like me with hundreds of hours haven’t used, well aged maps with destruction that not only looks cool, but actually shapes the game. Maps like Flood Zone for example, you can destroy the dam and it floods the bottom of the map with water, forcing you to use your secondary and be at a disadvantage. Or all the super fun gadgets like the suav, where you can fly a remote plane and with good aim, roadkill people from a safe spot, or all the types of fun explosives from grenade launchers, to rockets, or jeep stuff. It’s a shame that it will probably never be mentioned by EA again because China is in the game, and now that they are making a mobile game, they will do anything to appeal to them.
i dont agree with you, most servers (the few that are filled with people) consist of people who have been playing the game for years so if you start now you're gonna get seal-clubbed.
BF4 has been released in 2013, of course it's better and in top shape. Let's not forget BF4 was a disaster on release and had a whole special team focusing on fixing it.
@@godofredovasconcelos5690 just take off the suppressor
This makes Halo's grievances and caveats look nearly invisible. I can't believe people are nitpicking so hard about social grenade hitmarkers and forge when THIS is the product of four major studios in the ABSENCE of a campaigns. Holy fucking shit.
Sometimes, it's a lot easier to make a single player campaign than a multiplayer experience. Makes you wish they still have a campaign... a good campaign.
I partially agree, but Halo Infinite being decent compared to two incredibly broken games doesn't mean that criticisms of it are "nitpicking". Forge/co-op not being in on launch is a legitimate complaint, Act Man himself constantly talks about how games should come out as finished products, including in this very video.
Bajel
Your only Hope now. It s Halo infinit
@@NarutoninjaXV Here's the thing, forge and coop are side features, coop was just tacked on in CE, and forge was only there in like 3, that's not to downplay these features and say they aren't good features but they aren't at all important, I'd rather my game run and function properly and the content come out whenever it's ready than have to play a shitty, broken coop or forge mode. The same people who plead, cry and beg for coop and forge at launch are going to be the same ones to shit themselves whining about it when it turns out that it released broken because the devs DIDN'T delay it to work on it like they wanted to/should've.
Spoiler alert the beta was the full launch.
