Battlefield 2042 is a mixed bag. Rush not a main mode anymore but can be played in Portal. Testing Recoil, FFA and Gun Master too! Leave a LIKE and a comment. Thanks to Epic Games for sponsoring - bit.ly/3ujQHAN Use code JackFrags in the store! Join as a member - / jackfrags #EpicPartner
I cannot get over how fucking BLAND these maps are. There is no dust, dirt, debris, barely even proper shadows in corners. It looks so barren of fine detail. Sure, it's BIG, but otherwise it looks like something from 2012.
even bf3 maps has better visual fidelity
and yet you can't run it unless you have top notch graphics card and cpu.. sadge ill play bf V
I’m replying to a comment from a year ago but even battlefield 3 looked (imo) tons better than this, with great map variety and that was 2011. I’d go as far as to say it would make more sense visually if 2042 and BF3 switched release dates, and BF3 was the new one
Jackfrags really trying not to say 2042 is an failure and more like its a mediocre game
He just working, 💰
@@kz400- oh look a Redditor making up a conspiracy theory
Well, maybe he shouldn't have hyped this up in the first place. People didn't like what they saw but jackfrags was all in for it :P
@@Metroid51 he literally a is
Mixed Bag is an understatement. theres a reason the game is hitting under 10k on steam
It's a shame. I loved earlier Battlefields that came out years ago, and they've gotten worse and worse since then. It almost looks like it was made by a different studio.
l0l beat me to it the player count on this game is hilarious
It’s literally dead half the time on Australian Servers.
under 5k atm lol
@@traviswells6938 yea even in America you get put on horrible servers because of player count...but I do play with cross play off so that could be my problem at times
Whoever designed these maps should have looked for inspiration to BF1: lots of elevation, line of site breaks, trenches, flanking options, chokepoints, ect… I can’t help but look at this map and see way too much open space, with occasional boring, blocky buildings and feel like they took a step back in map complexity for this one
I was watching Neebs gaming play Zavod (from BF4) and couldn't help but think, what the hell happened? Such amazing map design and balance. BF1 took that map design to a whole new level with creative ideas, locations and geography that didn't rely on vehicles to have fun. With 2042 it feels like vehicle call in (spam) was added because the maps are so big and boring. I understand having 128 players means map design has to change, but the map designers of this game didn't seem to realize that. It's like you said: open spaces, some buildings, that's it. Not to mention almost complete lack of destruction. Talk about D.O.A.
@@Psilocybin77 on PS4 the maps feel like a mix between bf1 maps and bf5 maps
how is it a mixed bag lol? game is rotten from its core. cmon now.
C'mon Jack, call it for what it is. Mixed bag is way too kind
So obvious to see what is going on it hurts.....
And I have 200h...
equivalent of a british saying "interesting"
mixed bag... thats full of dogshit
It's not mixed though, it's negative.
Mixed bag is a very kind way to word it..
player body animations/ragdolls after death looked perfectly fine in BF5. Now they're a mess. Don't know why they couldn't just use the system that BF5 had...
Every time they feel the need to reprogram the whole game and make a complete mess of the mechanics. They could of reskinned bf5 with modern uniforms etc, but no let’s miss out basic features and mechanics in the interests of demonstrating our complete ineptitude.
Anyone notice the reflections don't match the skyscrapers in the beginning of the video? Might be reflections of a previous iteration of the map
There isn't even any detail on the Player animation as well, it always looks like it's float if you look down
Not even the graphics can save this game, it just has game mechanics that make it not enjoyable
Needed raytracing. Rtx is such a game changer for lighting. This game is a complete disaster. Its worse than blizzard going mobile in my opinion, if blizzard actually had made a mobile game lol.
It looks like a misaligned or generic skybox texture, or a missing reflection probe. As others said, RTX would fix it but its still not something I personally run
@@GoScience123 usually yes. Obviously wasnt this time though
Jack I really believe that u try to see the good in the game but even with a lot of good will its hard not to be disappointed by everything this game delivered
I wouldn’t say a lot of good, but if there’s a huge overhaul and portal is more relevant then there’s a good game in there somewhere.
I have fun playing the game but there are definitely a lot of times I’m frustrated. Wether I’m on the map discarded getting shot from left right behind and center or if I’m playing with oblivious sucky teammates. I’ve grown more hate for the game recently
I just played a little BF4 today. Tried going to BF2042 after. Unless you've got an optimized PC it's actually a step backwards from BF4 lmfao.
@@michaelallen2501 it legit is dude and its depressinng
I try to have the same approach, but it is hard. Most problematic for me is that my 8700k/1080ti really cannot run it decently when there is a little bit of action happening. I'm just not paying 1k Euros++ for a new GPU to play such a bugged/flawed game.
BF2042 is a failure, it doesn’t even look good. It’s a big step back, BF1 looked so amazing and was so atmospheric but BF2402 looks like an unfinished mess or well it is. It performs like crap, looks worse and plays worse.
So happy i didn't build a new PC just for this game.
Sucks that I did. Well, at least the new PC will live up to the hype to play other games.
literally was my reason for building a pc and once the beta came out i started rethinking and decided not to.
Unfortunately I did… Altough I did it for my music projects too luckily
Yeah i was gonna get a ps5 but sticking w ps4 for now
Hell, I'm just happy i didn't buy this game
Fancy streaming some BF4 jack? would love to watch you play that over this game.
This
Is this the Switch version?
😂
Jack really trying to look like he's having fun with this dumpster fire
He is having fun. You don't need to disparage others because they're having fun when you aren't. It's personal opinion/choice.
@@Kaiserland111 he is not having fun.
Come on jack how do you defend this game?
The wibble
Mixed bag?! LMAO that is a good one Jack. Be truthful though, it is a complete dumpster fire from the start, for a MULTITUDE of reasons. The ONLY gleaming hope for this game was Portal and they screwed THAT up..
Portal is fine and All Out Warfare is amazing, but there are definitely some must needed changes

That section where you had screen wobble and then couldn't shoot through the gap between the tree really sums up this game
"I'm not overconfident, I'm just better than everyone else"
What I love the most about this game is that we can just quote the operator's cheesy one-liners every time something stupid happens ✅
Lol the sarcasm is off the charts 🤣
Copy pasta
It's so depressing how this game turned out 😔
I have a really hard time seeing/spotting enemies. Between the constant weather effects, dark levels with high contrast, and objective markers filling the ENTIRE screen, it is impossible to see what I am shooting at. The mini map is also broken. Player position stays on the map for far too long.
No 3d spotting is needed
Theres too many ways to be spotted in this game. From casper drones to turrets, to prox nades, to firing your weapon, to Paik. It only takes 2 caspers in light everyone up like a Christmas tree. You shouldnt be spotted when you fire your weapon. If they do keep this in it should be reduced to instant removal of spotting.
True but at the cost of action go play bf3 conquest bc2 on portal it flows better because of the 3d spotting
@@Slykillful you should pop up on the minimap if you fire your gun, but it should be instant like CoD and be a circle not a dorito.
@@MrTD714 3d spotting was the worst. It was the worst thing in bf3 and 4, why do I deserve to be spotted by someone spamming a button 150m away who wouldnt have seen me otherwise. Was so glad they removed 3d spotting and spotting when firing in bf1 and 5.
I was taking advantage of the free weekend on gamepass for my xbox one (havent upgraded yet) i only played two maps because my game would crash or not even load on other maps so i was either playing the same map over and over again on conquest or just restarting the game thank god i didnt spend $60 on this mess
Watching Jack play and I'm realizing we aren't even playing the same game lol. An optimized PC vs last gen console is fucking VR to Atari. They shouldn't have even bothered with a console version. Such a cash grab shitshow of a game.
Console is horrific. No AA feels completely and utterly smashed.
Even with the best pc out there, you arent able to play at high settings without your fps tanking. Im using a gtx 970 so mine is far from top of the line, but atleast i could play bf5 at mostly high settings while getting 100fps at 1080p, yet in bf2042 on all low settings at 900p (and on 64 player modes) i struggle to stay at 60. Its something with the servers i believe because if i play solo against bots it seems to run just fine
@@ComradeChyrk I average around 100FPS with an i7 10700k paired with a 3090 if i had an 12900k it would run considerably better. The games very heavy on the CPU.
I play on ps5 and i play exacly like Jack do, stop excuses.
@@ComradeChyrk It's not the servers it's the players as bots are not as hard on your CPU.
It's like watching your cheese on toast under the grill and your losing cheese by the second
I envy your persistence with this game jack, I find myself play for less than 20 mins. The imbalance of weapons and vehicles, bugs, maps and general gameplay is so frustrating that I find myself back on BF5.
Right, i played for 3 days, for a total of 3 hours at launch. I havent touched it since.
Same, but I like bf1 more than bf5
Do people stil play BF5? Thinking about buying BF, hesitant to buy 2042 for obvious reasons.
A tightly packed urban map would be so good
I haven’t played all of the maps but from what I’ve seen they all look terribly bland and similar
They are
Yes, gunplay is good tho
Only good one to me personally is the desert one in Qatar
@@azazel673 it sucks
Yes, they have no character.
What is their excuse for dropping Rush from the main playlist where it counts towards progression?
Because they don’t like people playing their game apparently
@@ultrafinest I'd finally found some mode I quite liked but I've just dropped playing it altogether since that. Probably trade it in now I think
Anyone else really disappointed with it? Battlefield 4 is still the best.
Everyone is
For me BF1 is best, because incredible graphics and atmosphere! :)
BF1 close second
Nah you are the only one bud. You not read all these happy customers in the comments...
Yeah a bag full of various turds
Even if this game worked as intended i still wouldn't like it
You misspelled, "Crapshoot." Common mistake.

That knife kill at end of 2nd round of gungame had me laugh out loud. The set up that it was "gonna be tricky to get" and then the first guy you see just runs on to your knife : ) made my evening.
Do people not realize you can jump slide and jump really fast.. I've been doing in since release its litterly like mw slide boost.. I still rather no one do it tho doesn't fit bf but it's hard to resist lol
Not a mixed bag, game is broken lol
25:58 collector edition cards are fairly rare, but atm you "can" get a gundam themed gpu. in fact, they have a whole gundam lineup. can basically make an entirely gundam themed build including the case lol
I have to say that I'm really not enjoying the game, the maps are cringy, the team balancing is terrible and I have to play with crossplay enabled. PC players dominate the game, and they have a huge advantage on console players. The game needs a massive overhaul, the players are impossible to see, and they really need to get rid of those terrible specialists.
Bro, I agree, but just to let you know, PC and console players can’t play together. Crossplay is only between Xbox One and PS4. PC is a totally different version.
Unless you somehow have a PS5, which, I wish
@@galaxyplayz6690 yea on ps5 we have to play with them
Bro i see pc players all the time… and im on series x…
@@BuckSnortx it’s rare I get killed by another console player, pc players instantly kill me no chance to fight back.
I think the crouch while aiming is a myth. I can definitely do that in real life with my rifle.
Yeah, that was a weird one to see, like, that's how it works in real life??
It's always been that way if you crouch It's less recoil also if you prone It's even less
It's not a mixed bag, it's a bin bag...
Bf4 has the same bug where your screen wobbles but it only happened to me when I died while shooting an lmg
Game is dead and they can't fix this, Jack barly plays it and he loves the bf franchise, just like many of us. If they ever fix this game your looking at a year or more to even start getting there.
Wonder if/when they salvage this title. To see it on sale already isn’t a good sign.
Most of the AAA games were on sale for the holiday season.
@@jehoiachinprice7946 yeah, usually not by 33% within a couple months. For example RDR2 almost never when on sale for like the first 3 years.
a mixed bag? LOL thats one way to put it.
Really hope they remake some more Bc2 maps like Nelson bay and White pass. Also would love to see metro!!!
Does anyone have a problem with turning on console recently? When I turn it will act like it’s supposed too, but then it will slow down to a crawl then act normal again. It’s not aim assist because I can turn it off and it still does it. They’re isn’t anyone near me when it happens. It only started after Dice did a live update. The turning is so slow when it happens that it’s unplayable for me. Everything is fine on my end and my ping is good. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this.
These maps are so bare looking
No way haha what a shout out to Robaz with the shotgun sniper!!!
Now BF2042 is mixed bag? Even after patches, right? Remind me please what you were saying at launch? Oh yes, it was awesome and insane. I bought the game, and regret it.
I’m sure dice has the numbers for the attachment switching and crouch recoil stuff Prollay doesn’t wanna tell us cuz it’s a bug.
I'm not sure it resets vertical recoil so much as resets aimpoint.
they literally cant change this because there is no longer any developers that worked on it. it's over, i wouldn't doubt that they run out of dlc before the year is over. battlefield will never release another title. we need to realize this and move on
Jack which. Headphones are good for xbox s? I gat the turtle beach 600 2g
Damn straight it's a mixed bag. A mixed bag of Skittles that turns out to be filled with fucking grape
The player count, or lack thereof, speaks volumes with regard to the status of this game - DEAD. I wish folks would quit trying to prop it up. Nothing short of a total overhaul would fix it. If you love it- Great. However, the player count says there are few of you.
It's a big dumpster fire and you know it.
You and jonny should do more matches together. He is good helper
Triple A studio complaining about “ brutal expectations “ game doesn’t even have a scoreboard jack, can we call a spade a spade please. Games a mess.
Brutal expectations yet they seem to start over and scrap every bit of code they wrote in previous games for some reason. It's like they don't know how to reuse assets and animations
I've never seen Jack have so many bugs in the timespan he has them in a BF game before.
Play Farming Simulator!

need more guns
And maps, and basically everything in the game

And voip and scoreboard and no specialists and less bugs and no armor and more gadgets/launchers.

omg bro. my temperatures are like 100c on the CPU and 70c on the GPU. can't play this game no more.
That no scope wit the . 50cal tho

Can we talk about how the maps have no detail at all I mean they are all so open and it almost feels like bfv and how the maps are big open fields
Is that Map at the Intro “Siege of Shanghai”?
This game is dogshit, I just started fresh again on BF4, should have done that from the start.
Gun master must be boring with only 22 weapons lol
I can’t be the only one who thinks even BF3 had better graphics than this
The Sarge (Enigma) is back btw 🍻
When you say bug, all I hear is book 😆
“Tuesdays coming, did you bring your coat?” “I live in a giant BUCKET” I loved those rejected cartoons!
The title of this video is absolutely spot on if you replace the word mixed with crap!
If you’re gonna do a recoil experiment, try using a lighter shade of wall so we can see 💡
Any news about the game supporting m&k on my ps5 ??
4:35 why did your screen suddenly go green?
Good game but still need more content. Much better movement and gun feel than bf4/3. Like the chaos in 128 player mode and specialist gave a refreshing way of playing. Team base playing is much better with specialists because now you don't have engineer runing aorind with RPG and kill everyone (bf4). Need to fix the bugs(every battlefield has lots of bugs at launch) and put more guns. It is a great game. Server r always full in xbox. It takes only 5 sec to find a match. Even halo lost 80% of player base so ppl just relax. Enjoy the game
I'm really glad Jack is being transparent about this game now. Every video discussion about this game feels like a breath of fresh air where he doesn't hold anything back.
