Why do you still play Battlefield 2042?

Always loved the large scale battles that the franchise offers. There are so many memories you can make in different areas of every map. It's not perfect but it's probably my favourite infrantry vehicle combat game

Battlefield is the only multiplayer shooter that I feel like is actually engaging from just a sense of fun. Call of Duty each year increasingly feels like it's trying to force itself upon me to be the one stop shop for any gaming experience, and that's exactly what drove me away. After all the recent changes, I feel like the game is genuinely focusing on the parts of Battlefield that made it special rather than trying to chase trends. I even kinda dig the way the specialist and class system work now because I feel like I'm making a way more active decision about my role in the game. Idk Battlefield just has this certain spark that I've yet to see another shooter replicate, and I've played almost every battlefield-like game under the sun.

So glad to hear you're taking your time for personal and recreational stuff jack it's the most important thing ❤

I have been a huge player since BF 1942 and always will be on this franchise. Keep up making these videos, sir! I enjoy watching them and your commentary is fun. 😊

I actually cane across BF3 with my son 13 years ago, had no idea that it would become my most favourite game, great interactive social game with friends and having fun and laughs together, the most satisfying thing is taking down other players giving me that natural high. Always liked war games and I prefer the way BF franchise have developed their games. Keep the footage coming Jack fantastic coverage mate 😎👍

I started playing it again this latest update. Breakthrough especially is so much fun for me and the gunplay is very clean and proper.

You and Squid-G are the best BF channels, you two have the most fun.

Protip with the GEW-46, switch to single fire mode and it becomes the most OP DMR in the game. No recoil, completely accurate, massive range.

I never stopped playing 2042 but I didn't play it much for the first year, maybe once a week. Once they did the update to specialists fitting them into classes a lot of my BF buddies started playing it again and now we're back to playing it every night again. It's not the best BF game nor close to it, but it's still a BF game and offers gameplay that no other shooter can do. BattleBit was interesting but too big, my squad didn't have an impact. 32 player Rush and 64 player Conquest is the perfect balance of large scale feeling and still being able to have impact on the win.

Battlefield is unique, that's the reason i'm still playing. Going strong since BF2 on PC, played every installment thoroughly that came after! Btw your mic is fine, Jack!

I think I agree with most of those points as well. No SBMM, the overall conquest environment of infantry/vehicles, and the fun overall chaos. I honestly haven't played BF2042 for a few months. But seeing all the updates and your videos Jack, make me want to go back and play it. Once I finish TOTK though. I watch Mint Blitz, Lets Game it Out, VLDL, and Critical Role

I think my answer is a mix of everything you said in the video. It’s fun, I don’t have to sweat every game to have fun/do well, and it’s probably the most stable and fun BTB (big team battle) based game. Battlebit is fun for its own reasons and this is fun for different reasons.

I recently started playing this after watching your videos Jack, really loving it tbh Breakthrough is great, really intense!

I've been playing bf2042 on and off since release, but not nearly as much as something like bf4 or even bf1. As for youtube recommendations, Lemmino is one of my favourites and if you're into space, PBS Space Time really satisfies the nerd in me. The latter requires a while to get into, but once you're in, you're hooked. Shout out to Matt O'Dowd. Entertaining guy and a fantastic educator.

I like that graphic you showed about the top weapons and characters. I wish they broke the top weapons down by the most used combinations of attachments, as well. That would be cool to see to help with building a newly unlocked gun or maybe solve issues you could be having with a gun you are using.

It's simply fun to jump in for a few rounds with friends or by myself. And big team battles are epic!

It's much improved...I played a lot a couple months after launch. Didn't pick it up for about a year. Just started again last week on S5...it's actually pretty great now. Took long enough.

I’ve played 2042 on again off again since release. Have over half of the guns T1. What always brings me back though are the “only in battlefield moments”. This game and this franchise is the only on that just provides you with some of the most unique, badass and often times hilarious, moments. No other game can produce moments like that.

I just really love the large scale battles and epic moments that come with it. It's also (like you said in the video) a game where I can turn my brain off and just have some casual fun.

Been playing BF since the Codename Eagle days (remember that?). I just love the mix of infantry and vehicle based combat. It's a bit more forgiving than the run and gun games like COD. 2042 isn't the best in the franchise, but DICE have done really well with improving the game compared to how it was launched. Was the same for BF4, BF1 and BF:V tho - dodgy launch but got better - will they ever learn? In terms of weirdly interesting YouTube channels, I love watching Hoon's Coffee - a guy in the US making coffee at home - it's got a real chill vibe and he has a very calming voice. Worth checking out if you want coffee tips, or just to chill. Keep up the great work Jack - you're smashing it.
