Battlefield 2042 rising like a phoenix from the ashes

Battlefield 2042 was definitely not a hit for the fans. The game acquired a sorry low 2,2 rating on Metacritic. Battlefield is a long-running iconic series as most of the games in the series are received positively. However, for Battlefield 2042’s launch, this does not appear to be the case. The game was released in an extremely haphazard and sloppy state.

This type of release is quite unbecoming and unexpected of a AAA title which had seemed to nail the formula to make a good game. However, things just might be turning up for the latest iteration of this series.

The game will not release additional, much-needed patches all the way until March next year. Considering the state this game is in right now, this sort of news does not bode well at all. However, it is important to know that Battlefield 4 was released in a buggy state as well and now it is known as a success. So, it seems that with proper support, this game just might do extremely well.
