      don't think they want to associate their brands with this trash

      • +2

        It's never stopped them in the past

    • +1

      I think once it hits 12 months old it will be added to the base subscription of EA Play which is included with Games Pass.

    • The initial 10 hour trial was already on Game Pass with the included EA Play thing.

    • It's coming close to 6 months which means it will be on EA play/gamepass real soon, like in the next 2 months.

  • +1

    The game has had some big updates in the last week or two and reportedly runs a lot smoother.

    They're making some map changes too to concentrate the action and avoid the empty big open spaces. Also changes incoming to the class system. The game is likely going to get better but can it shake off the blundered launch and get enough people to give it a second shot.

    For $9 I'm going to give it a go! Although not looking forward to the inevitable enormous update required before I can start playing

  • +2

    will be f2p soon at this rate lol

  • +1

    Ooh, I wonder if it has a single player campaign

    (quick google later)

    Oh…. :(

  • +9

    I just cant bring myself to buy this game not even for $9. I made a order than I cancelled the order

    • +1

      Username checks out.

      • +2

        its not about the money , its the principle that matters, I cant support a game that is essentially a huge middle finger to battlefield fans by EA.

        • +2

          Haha I know mate. I totally agree. My mate gifted me a copy a week after release. I traded it in over a month ago. Thank goodness I did!

          Can't believe they ruined it :/

    • Yeah, I feel like even at $9 though, its $9 too much. EA really needed to go free to play with this release to salvage something from the turd that is 2042….at least at free you could take it or leave it. I feel for the poor bastards who stuck it out believing things would get better too.

  • +1

    For $9 I'll bite, if it doesn't improve at least it should count as a trade-in

    • +2

      They will reduce the price of your trade-in if they see this game.

    • +1

      Whats EB paying for trade in here? Surely a bit more than $9 seeing as their preowneds are selling for $88. Easy profit?

  • +13

    And I paid $109 for this piece of shit. Played for an hour and gave up. Not worth it, trust me on that. Buy a cup of coffee and banana bread for $9.

    • holly sh!t lol it cant be that bad can it? i play bfv and i find it fun got 500 hrs on it, i thought this could be a good change from the old ww2 feel i like modern guns/setting

      • +2

        lol it cant be that bad can it?

        Yes, it can. I haven't played for a few months but from memory no single player campaign, can't change teams or squads, no server browser for the main modes, no voice chat, somewhat unbalanced gear, so so many graphics issues.

      • Also to add to what Baldy said, there are only 2-3 guns of each type and the maps were designed for something other than gameplay, some maps are just big open fields with no cover.

    • +2

      A cup of coffee with banana bread only $9 is a true bargain! Pleae share the link. Coffee price in Sydney and Melbourne is crazy expensive now!

    • They really don't care about the people who spend the extra money to try and support them.

  • I want to whinge and whine about the game but for $9 🤐

    • Kind of like the people who got BFV for free after patches ended and then complain there's no eastern front.

  • -1

    Can this work on PS4 guys🙏🙏🙏

  • Will wait for Switch remaster

  • -2

    Not worth it

    • That’s subjective. The deal is still good because it’s at a significant discount. Not a fair neg IMO.

  • +4

    Overpriced

  • Oh, i think I paid $16

  • +5

    EB Games trades it at $15 store credit for a level 4 (which is 20% extra value).

    tldr; not worth the trade in if wanting to make a quick buck

    • That's pretty low considering how much they are trying to flog it for. I have my birthday voucher to use so that will give me a bit more I guess

    • Will it look weird if I trade in 30 unopened boxes to grab a new mouse? 🤣

      • +1

        If you're being (even semi) serious, they get a bit iffy if you trade more than 2 copies of a game. If you go in with your receipt, they'll likely trade a fair few of them. But doubt a single store would take 30 copies at once.

        • Dangnabbit!

      • Yes met a manager last time and they said max 2 copies of same game per trade in.

  • Lol maybe now Dice will wake up and learn not to release broken pieces of shite… Seems doubtful still

  • +5

    I am curious but still can't bring myself to buy it.

    • This is one of those AAA games where we can sit and contemplate whether even if $9 will actually do the trick and make these OOS.

  • +1

    Thanks for posting, I was fence sitting on this (for months) given all the hate but will give it a go for $9

  • assuming PS4 > PS5 upgrade is free still?

  • +6

    no 1 buy this no matter how cheap it gets. This game needs to end up at a Field waste under the ground like ET Atari.

    its the only way EA might learn not to do this again.

  • Haha I bought the Membership pass for this game for $50 thinking it was the actual game.

  • +13

    one of the worst AAA games i have ever played, in terms of polish, bugs, unfinished textures and a reversal in quality of life game mechanics from earlier releases

    last time i tried to launch it on steam (about 3 weeks ago) it crashed while loading a game - same as the last time i played.

    check out the steam reviews, i would struggle to even suggest wasting the hard drive space if the game was free

    hard no

    • +4

      check out the steam reviews, i would struggle to even suggest wasting the hard drive space if the game was free

      Forget the steam reviews (although I saw one that made me chuckle a lot, it reference "2042" a lot in the paragraph), check out Angry Joe's review on YT, for over an hour's worth of solid roasting. They could not find a single redeeming good thing about it.

      They even got demonetised for the amount of swearing in their video, but they didn't care, it needed to be said LOL!

    • +1

      Tend to agree. $9 is an expensive coaster

    • check out the steam reviews

      Are they the reviews where people just follow the trend and write one for the sake of it?

      • Yes, they are mostly just for the LOLs.

        It will be a standard format:

        Pros:
        It's the new Battlefield

        Cons:
        It's nothing like Battlefield.

        Don't play. 1/10

    • Dont be sad. This is just how it works out sometimes

  • Bought one for my PS5. At this price why not. Thanks OP 🙂

  • +5

    The best part of Battlefield games of late is the trailer. I love the trailers. They should just make trailers and not games.

  • +1

    i didnt even play the Main game, i bought the pre-launch edition and only played BETA, requested to be refunded this dog of a game.. tried twice they wouldnt allow it… even though i never opened the full version.
    Battlefield series is finished in my opinion.. lost the way after BF4

    • +1

      Yeah I agree, killed a winning formula by slowly taking the fun out of it with 1 and v then dumping this
      What a shame.

  • +2

    I own every BF (PC) title except this. After the beta there was no way i was going to buy it. Even at $9, if rather pass and send EA a message.

  • Thanks Op, waiting for JB to price match so I can use my voucher…🤞

  • Suppose Ive waited long enough…

  • Shout out to @duyfken our own resident Nostradamus who wrote about this game back in June 2021, almost a whole year ago

    "Do not pre-order if you value the future of gaming. Recently past cautionary tales should be enough to show where the problem lies'

    • So true, I feel developers like EA dump all their budget into trailers to get as many pre-orders as possible, then they have no incentive to make a decent game as they've already made a heap of money.

    • The fact that Vince Zampella of Respawn Entertainment was announced as the DICE LA leader in 2020 (after previously founding and getting fired from Infinity Ward. Yes, the CoD developer.) wasn't an omen either….

  • Played beta but didn’t bought because of no single player campaign and bad reviews but 9 bucks, why not. It might be better than at it was at release

    • I believe due to the decline of the playerbase it might be a worse experience than launch even if its less buggy, last time I played most of the people I was up against were AI bots, I would imagine its only gotten worse since then.

  • +3

    Seems overpriced ill wait till its free on Epic

  • I hated the beta, haven't tried the full version yet and I have no high hope but at $9 it's tempting so I bought it (thanks OP), I wonder what is the trade-in value at EB Games for this game..

  • +1

    Waiting for $5

  • -1

    I'd buy that for $9.

  • -4

    Just 9 bucks too expensive.

  • +1

    There are probably more than a few of us that didn't even play the full 10 hours of the demo on Game Pass.

  • Thanks op…hopefully it doesn't come on one of those circular plastic thingies 😂. Worth a punt for 9 bucks.

  • "rumours it's going free to play" - YouTube review
    May be the case as in game shopping has expanded

    Still at this price it is pretty much free

  • pay me 9$ and i might just download it. still wont play it.

  • Ps5 was gone for minutes now back again

  • +2

    $9 for the memes and to see what all the (negative) fuss is about is fair

    • Yeeeeeeee.

  • Last two Battlefields have reduced price significantly in months after launch, but this takes the cake.

    Don't think I'll be buying at launch again.

  • There was talk about it going free to play so I'm cautious about buying it to be honest. It's also due to be entering EA Play this year as far as I know.

  • -1

    lol

  • I want but will wait until they give for free like the others :)

  • +2

    BF4 was peak, BF3 had the best maps

    • +1

      BF2 for me, but they were all good with their own pros and cons.

      • BF2 wake island was the GOAT

  • Is there a single player campaign?

  • worth $9 to be honest, but it should be free considering what they tried to get away with plus they (profanity) over a tonne of people that bought full price.
    only reason the price is down is because the Micro-transactions are coming out soon.

  • After reading all the negative press on this game I'm still reluctant to buy even at this price.

  • Didn't enjoy the beta but for $9 it's worth a shot I guess

  • 2 stars, interesting.. 😅

  • What are the populations like in Aus servers? Not even worth $9 if you can't find matches reliably.

    I would like to try Hell Let Loose again, but I've already spent my 2 hours on Steam. I remember lots of running, only to die to an enemy I couldn't even see.

  • I won't trust EA anymore.

  • I guess for $9 one can't go wrong and one gets the original case literally lolz

  • If I buy the PC version do you think someone will make a Desert Combat or Forgotten Hope mod for it 🤔

    • +1

      I don't think it needs modding for Forgotten Hope 🥴

  • Guys I am totally nobe here.
    I have played battlefield before

    Can I play this one alone? I don't understand what campaign is that people are angry about it. 😟😟

    Is that true that you have to have a PlayStation plus membership to play?

    • Hey, there is no single player mode. Yes, you need PlayStation Plus to play this game.

      • Thanks, I cancelled it.

  • Isn't this one of the worst games ever made?

    • worse AAA game? very possibly

  • +1

    I've played 40hrs of this, always with a friend, and I enjoy it, but those 40hrs have been spread out over the last few months. I think in it's current state I'll get another 20-40hrs out of it, though I really enjoy Portal and look forward to what people can do with it in the future, plus the updates that should be coming to 2042 main.
    For $9, if you have a friend you play with it's worth it, just don't think it's going to be your 'every night' game, or that it's good as a single player.
