Welp, that was an easy decision. · 3:50am Oct 9th, 2021
I logged into the Battlefield 2042 Open Beta, got a match, and spawned only to have all my guns automatically fire, as if a key was stuck, and no way to change my controls, as it constantly asked me if I wanted to exit, no matter what key I pressed.
From interest to uninstalled in under four minutes.
Thanks for saving me $60, Dice. Take this broken mess and get fucked.
Silver lining: this happened before you paid for a full-price game, which is more than I can say.
Well to be fair it’s only a beta and not a finished game.

I've been treating betas as launch products for seven years.
Because 90% of the time, that's what we get.

You’d be surprised how different the two can be.
5593402
True, but release is only a month away and this beta only covers a single map, a handful of weapons and specialists, and one game mode. Realistically, how much could they change and fix in one month because there is no fucking way they're delaying the game.

Hell, they've already delayed the game. This beta replaced the original launch date.

Being completely unable to control my gun on spawn-in isn't something I'll shell out $60 for in hopes it'll be fixed.
Anyways, by that point Halo Infinite will just be a few weeks away, and that is likely what I'll be spending the end of 2021 and the start of 2022 with.

I was mainly referring to games in general anyway.

Technical issues are something they can totally fix in a month. It's the various game mechanics that can't be changed at this point.
I'm not saying every issue will be fixed but they can totally get it to a more stable state.

im on ps5 and i didn’t have that problem but i did have a problem of flying i guess to far and then just falling out of the map for no reason and pepole were rubberbanding all over the place and visually seeing the enemy was hard,
i didn’t have your issue tho and that one def sounds fucked they need to fix those controls, i spent a good while just trying to figure out the vehicle controls cause im used to the bf3 controls
im a sucker and already paid for it but it def needs some work and i dont like the specialist system, would prefer if they kept just the class system but i will probably really only play the portal mode with the 2 bf3 maps with the basically remaster of bf3 cause thats still my fav one but yeah glad you could come to a choice
