    AAA companies are focused on this sort of gimmick instead of making their game fun and playable.

      Better to focus on a gameplay gimmick than make the same game again.

        The Finals is a product that understands its demographic, EA has absolutely no clue what their demo is for BF and that’s why we got a BR movement shooter with 2042.

        These corpo dummies just look at what’s popular and tell their devs to copy it to maximize profit. They do not give a fuck about making a good product, they care about minmaxing spending.

    I think they did really well with Battlefield 2042. It destroyed my interest in the Battlefield franchise. Loved Battlefield 4, 5 and the second 1, though.

      You ever notice how 4-5 years after release dice games become really solid? It’s because ea stops giving a shit and dice can finally fix them.

      I’m right there with you BC2 was the highpoint for me and absolutely nothing has scratched that itch since.

    Maybe they should focus on nice things like player-run dedicated servers, or being able to play the game with a larger group than four people…

    Most realistic destruction isn’t going to stop EA and DICE from monetizing the game to hell and back. Stick to indie games.

    Now, I’m assuming they mean pre-computed and animated destruction, but there’s a little part of me that’s hoping they go Red Faction Guerrilla with it. A large-scale FPS where the battlefields can change in violent and truly unpredictable ways would be incredible.

    Another game claiming to do “realistic destruction” that will completely fail to meet even Red Faction (2001) levels.

    They’ve done wonders creating destructive effects in their fanbase, why would this be any different?

    About fucking time. I started playing battlefield for the destruction and 2042 had less destruction than bad company 2

      Pretty much every BF since BC2 has had less destruction than BC2 and for good reason, flattening the entire map makes for very boring gameplay. IMO BF3 and BF4 hit the sweet spot of having enough destruction to have an impact while still maintaining some modicum of level design.

      But now I don’t even play battlefield and I probably won’t return until the destruction is on par with the Finals.
