battlefield 2042 The franchise’s otherwise successful gaming arsenal became a notorious slump. In his PSLS review of 4/10, he lambasted the shootouts, map design, balance tweaks, and more. He at EA also seems to agree with Vince Zampella (Titanfall, Apex Legends).
Vince Zampella comments on BF2042 error
talk Barons (via Lycetera), Zampella explained that he thought Battlefield 2042 was “a little far from Battlefield”.
I think it was a bit far from Battlefield. They probably tried to do some ambitious things: increase the number of players, etc. I don’t think I’ve spent enough time repeating what’s fun. The way they were set up and the way they were run, we couldn’t find the best possible.
Zampella has overseen the entire franchise, and with the next game already confirmed to be in development, he’ll have a chance to prove himself in touch with the BF community.
If Battlefield 2042 was a step in the wrong direction, hopefully Zampella realizes what went so wrong and can readjust for the next release.
Anyone hoping for DICE to take a break from Battlefield, perhaps to create a new Mirror’s Edge game, will be disappointed to hear that the development studio is focusing entirely on BF.
