Former DICE Dev States Battlefield 2042 "Never Stood Much a Chance at Being Great" at Launch
While Battlefield 2042 might be in a good state right now, it wasn’t always the case. Back when it launched in October 6, 2021, the game was chastised for its bug-filled experience, lack of content, and the way specialists deviated a bit too much from what Battlefield stood for.
Over on Twitter, former DICE Senior Software Engineer (and now Epic Games Senior Backend Engineer) Joakim Bodin commented that the game “never stood much of a chance” at being great at launch.
This game had many iterations, and the deadline never changed much, so never stood much chance being great at launch. I’m proud though to have pushed hard to have this game have full cross play, progression and (mostly) commerce. It’s online systems will serve future titles well
Interesting to hear this from someone who worked on the game.
As for what’s new to the game, DICE has revealed the full slate of new stuff coming in Battlefield 2042 Season 5 when it launches this June 7.
