I'm personally having way more fun in this one mode than I did in BF1, BFV, and BF Hardline. The hardcore mil sim capture the outpost modes are cool too.
BF4 is still the best BF tho. By a long shot too.

It's taking them this long to rework 1 map
I'm convinced that they just have a skeleton crew working on this shyt now.
Way too long, but DICE have said themselves the entire team + multiple studios are working on BF2042. I'm guessing the delay is due to them bleeding talent due to developers leaving for better studios, and having to rely on contractors - similar to Halo Infinite.
The game just needed at least 1 more year of development time. You can see it with how each one of these updates is like +100 fixes and changes. Especially with how theyre adding core things like animations and more weather effects, or legacy modes like air superiority.

Does this patch make any drastic changes? Ive played this game only a few times since getting it a few months ago and It legitimately sucks. iirc there was only a server browser for custom games too which is shytty. Its hard to believe that DICE had their hands on this at all, even the games I didnt like before from them I'd say were competent, just not to my tastes, but BF2042? Smh..
I don't believe them. I swear BF4 released with more technical issues and they managed to fix all of it and were on their 3rd DLC in the same time frame. I doubt 2042 ever gets completely fixed before they announce the next entry and abandon this one.
Not really, just technical fixes but portal is good and the new map is decent. The base game is still trash.

BF4 did receive new content a lot faster than BF2042, I think they had 2 expansions by now, but BF4 was broken for over a year. I remember the shytty net code made it virtually unplayable for almost a year, and it's still not 100% fixed.
DICE going on this trend of releasing these broken BF games started with BF4 lol. It still ended up being the best BF game tho.
BF2042 is too fundamentally broken to ever get fully fixed but these guys are committed to this game for at least a year. And I don't expect the next BF title to be created out of thin air within a couple years. It's going to take more time than that to develop it.

Looks like most of the Kaleidoscope rework changes are in the bottom half of the map. All of these changes are really good changes, except....
When you play any 64 player mode like Exodus Conquest or Rush, you only play on the top half of the map, and therefore the map still plays virtually the same with how few changes the top half of the map received. All I really notice in the top half of the map is a little more cover in the park, more elevation variability in the grass sections of the park area, and then a lot more cover in the city area where the last few objectives are in Rush.
The changes to the atmosphere and vibe of the level were definitely needed but the map still feels pretty clean and flat like a tech demo.
