BTW,When 2042 was released, the Canadian Army was happy to see on Twitter that the game had âOh Canadaâ They were happy. But they were not in the actual game.
Maybe if the Canadian Army appeared in Enlisted it would comfort their broken hearts.

I think youâre more likely to see a few squats for the Canadians and thatâs about it
Is it a parrotâs call?
Not sure what youâre going on about but I donât think itâd be bad if we had more nationalities in this game
they wasted potential by not just making thier game actually moddable, while also ignoring all the stuff BFV bothered to crib from Red Orchestra. (mostly the âMedium Machinegunâ mechanic which is an essential way to differentiate MGâs from âbig assault riflesâ)âŚ
BF2042 instead went the route of just having something similar to BF4âs lame server options rather than allowing potential total overhauls.
part of this, at least in previous battlefield titles, was down to the game having âfair fightâ anticheat. which basically means ânobody gets to access server files⌠ever⌠everâŚâ part of this was also down to the nature of âstatâ-tracking and âmuh scores!ââŚ
frankly I consider BF1 and BFV to both be missed opportunities at making something like red orchestra style gameplay more mainstream⌠but oh well.
In Battlefield 4 I am the kind of player who only uses faction specific weaponry

Odd coincidence, me too.
I did not only choose guns that suited my faction, but I also tried to use holosights, etc. that were as country-specific as possible.
For example, the HD-33 that was popular in the game was obviously a JH406 made by Aimpoint in the US, but for some reason it had Chinese writing on it (Chinese copy?). We avoided putting it on the guns of U.S. soldiers.
It is of course the KOBRA (EKP-8-14) that we put on the Russian soldierâs gun.
However, in the real world, we often see AKs and other guns with EOTECH on them, and the US military is now adopting Chinese-made dat-sights.
I feel the times are changing.
It turns out that in most cases
Large-scale war games involving a large number of players are difficult to civilianize
Computer performance will screen out more than half of the players
And then got dragged down by server overhead and stuff like that.
In the end, the official strategy will cut off the other half of the players
The last online game known as excellent
It will end its operations amid negative reviews from players and a vicious cycle.
I believe there is a mod on ModDB that does this and the community behind it have made their own servers.
But the lack of updates makes me wonder if itâs dead thoughâŚ
Honestly, the reason why I came here is because I missed out on the multiplayer community of Battlefield 1942 (although playing Singleplayer was, and still is, incredibly fun, but also because Gaijinâs servers know how to compensate for 1 second/999ms of ping).
Having joined only a month ago, this felt a bit more like Heroes and Generals, just without the indefinitely long queue times (experimented with most gamemodes, matchmaking would last over one hour, encounter would last one minute). Either way, a mix of two communities I missed out on and finally a chance to enjoy a multiplayer World War 2 game.

I have fond memories of getting dozens of kills with drop pods in 2142. Too bad it was a bug-fest.

Bf1 is agenda filled to the brim as well, thought⌠nothing much realistic in this.
But yeah, nothing beats bf5 with those woke agenda tropesâŚ
Ahahah, right??? When squad captain placed a good rally point on top of buildings, we kept using our very selves as huge artillery shells targeting ground troops

I mean, the biggest agenda stuff in BF1 was black German sniper, but I guess at least it had some straw argument as Germany had African colonies at the time.
BF5 literally had Japanese girls crouch sliding across Norwegian mountains with golden post war weapons equipped with red dot sights and black American women as squad leaders, not to mention the whole prosthetic arm trailer lady fiasco, the re-writing of the Norwegian and British paratroopersâ heroics into some woman and daughter stuff, and lying about Senegalese troopsâ story in WW2.
(and of course remember â No Russian)

I mean it really isnât neither BF1 nor BFV had frankly enough balls to do anything interestingâŚ
they were tacked on and felt lame.
the whole Harlem Hellfighters bit was overhyped, the gameplay sucked even in singleplayer;
I quit BFVâs singleplayer the instant I saw the wrong helmets being used in that prequel Narvik mission.
as for the multiplayer, it suffers the same fate as BF1 and BF4; thereâs like 2-3 good combined arms maps, the others are either CQC silliness or they kind of suck lmao.
