Absolute banger of a game. This is the state in which BF 2042 should have released. Both Warfare and Operations are fun and I'm eagerly looking forward to the Black Hawk Down campaign, which I hope comes with Co-op. These guys are mobile devs, and they know exactly what they're doing with this game - if you can read between the lines there.

I've had 1-on-1 interactions with them on X, and it shows they care about the community and their feedback. Whether this feedback is actually implemented is to be seen. And because some of the feedback is ridiculous like "remove launchers," "make Tanks handle like cars," "remove recon arrow so we know who is hacking," and so on, I'm hoping the devs are filtering the crap and taking the serious stuff that improves the game into consideration.

As it stands, there's only one thing that annoys the hell out of me and that is SBMM. Why do we need SBMM on a 64 player match FFS!? This monstrosity needs to go from online FPS shooters - just takes away all the fun and makes every match seem like ESWC finals. I just want random matchmaking with my region with random skill levels. I expect the game to be casual and fun most of the time, and not sweaty always. I hope the devs are listening and remove this crap from matchmaking.

The gacha is strong here, and if you're someone who has slippery spending habits, beware! The only thing I got is the battle pass, but I see that most stuff such as operator skins is gacha-based. Although, idc about these skins that much, but it would have been great to unlock them with some challenges or some tiers on the battlepass too.

All in all, for an F2P game, there is lots of fun here. I'm close to spending 100 hours already, and I see myself spending 100 more. However, If SBMM is not removed in the next season, I may uninstall the game since I've had it with these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ algorithms deciding my games.
