    IDK man, the Battlefield 2042 beta isn't looking too hot...

    Somehow, the beta has about three times as many bugs, worse vehicle physics, even worse netcode than PS2, not to mention missing features and questionable redesigns like the specialists and how they're balanced and the fact there are barely any teamplay mechanics + you can mod weapons on the spot. The implementation of AI bots in matches, they're completely brain-dead and are free kills. Then you have some of the most basic stuff missing like grenade indicators etc.

    BF2042 performance is amazingly bad, FPS is fairly high some time and then it drops every 3 seconds,


    Unless dice pulls a 180 with the release I can safely say BF2042 will flop, and most everyone will just go back to Battlefield 4.

    It’s ironic because PS was built because Higby the original designer was a Battlefield affecionado.

    The only reason why BF blew it with BF V is the World War II theme is played out.

    The game will either be a huge success or a massive blowout. They missed the mark with Call of Duty, who I often call the Mcdonalds of the FPS industry.

    With all due respects, PS2 is very old engine.

    Can’t be any worst than when PS released Arena.

    It went out of business in less than a month…..

    Yeah, despite an already heavily saturated BR market. LOL

    Side note: Well at least the former owners of DBG made $300 mil from the sale to EG7. “and the acquisition will increase EG7’s size and profitability through stable cash flows from free to play models with loyal communities”. Bottom line is EG7 doesn’t make anything. They just leech you’re $$$ or fleece you outright.

    “Together we have bold and exciting plans for the future, and I look forward to making those dreams a reality for gamers all over the world.” - EG7 CEO Robbing Flodin. meh...just another lying CEO. You don’t have any plans for any game, you’re just a POS holding company. FACTS!

    I just don't get that transaction. DBG gets 120$ per year per member. By dividing that by 300 million, 2.5 million yearly memberships needs to be sold to break even. But of course there are server costs and taxes etc. so the real amount is a bit higher. Looking at fisu.pw planetside only has 30k unique player logins per day and most of those don't have memberships. Assuming they'd have however, the time needed to cover the purchase price would be close to 100 years.

    Since the purchase, EG7's stock price has tanked from above 100 SEK to 27.

    Besides, most AAA games cost way less than that to create from scratch. Essentially EG7 could have created planetside 3 for those money and had extra cash to spare.

    EG7 is a holding company. They don’t produce anything. You won’t see EG7’s name on any game.

    Also, DBG has other games in its lineup besides Planetside 2. ;)

    EG7 releases Indicative Guidance For Q3 and Q4 2021:

    Q3 Net revenue: SEK 400-420 million.
    EBITDA: SEK 85-100 million.

    Q4 Net revenue: SEK 450-500 million.
    EBITDA: SEK 95-110 million.

    *These numbers have been prepared by management of EG7 and are only indicative numbers that are estimated on a best knowledge basis, where deviations outside these ranges are possible.

    Ye PS2 has better & more content than Halo Infinite's multiplayer & BF2042 combined. Not only that, but those games don't even have better graphics, bout the same, considering they are 10 years newer. So that's a wrap for fps games. Nothing new that's amazing. Just Halo to play casually, but not that seriously. & of course BF has many bugs. Halo's progression system or battle pass, is lousy.

    How about fantasy mmorpgs? Well New World has some basic fps aspects, yet still is a oversimplified game missing content. Classic WoW & Retail WoW have lost most their playerbases. Final Fantasy isn't a pvp mmo & is mostly for rp. Guild Wars 2 lost devs & is meh rightnow. Path of Exile isn't a mmo. So that's a wrap for mmorpg games.

    PS2's problem has always been marketing, not gameplay. The marketing is non existent & the map gameplay is underrated. However that's more of SOE's fault, during the hay day, of needing to promote the game then. Still the devs these days, should focus on recruiting or asking youtube streamer reviewers & gamer comedy channels, for help.

    Aaaaaaaaaaaand BF2042 makes PS2 look like a masterpiece.

    When netcode for a 900-player game is better than in a 128 player game, lmao.
