Battlefield 2042 Dev Tracker

I just checked it with the LATV4 and the T-28 and it seems the updates didn't make it into the early access build :(

For now this is how it works; no matter where your gun is aiming (both driver and gunner) you always hop out from the left of the vehicle. The only thing that changes is where you're looking when you get out. So as an example, if you aim your gun to the right, you'll still exit from the left but you'd be looking towards the right. If you aim your gun at the rear, you'll exit from the left while looking at the rear. video example of the T28

Since we're on the topic of entering/exiting vehicles, I feel there is a pretty important mechanic missing when it comes to exiting vehicles, i.e. exiting in the direction you're looking at.

If you pointed your gun/camera at the back of the vehicle, you'd exit from the back; if you pointed it towards the left, you'd exit from the left, and so on. It was actually extremely useful in BF2/3/4 as you could control which direction you exit from, and that helped when quickly getting out of vehicles to repair, etc.. This feature was lost due to the addition of enter/exit animations but since they don't exist in 2042, I think this is something that should be brought back!

The solution being so obvious it hurts: Delay the time you can control by the same time of the entry animation...

The lead game designer is saying that as well, so this probably won't get fixed until he leaves his fantasy land.

DRUNKKZ3 is Lead Game Designer now? how does a sweaty player like him even allow for the gunplay, hitreg issues and borked mouse and controller aim to get like this in the first place.

I had no doubt. But is it possible to allow medics to inform players on the ground that we are coming to res them. Like pressing Q on a downed friendly giving them a dialogue of something like "I got you!".

Thanks for getting this out there! Hopefully it helps you guys out and gets DICE's eyes on it!

Can i ask you if the nonexistent aim assist on console that you said was being adjusted is actually going to be adjusted and fixed by next Friday? Because it feels worse than it did in the beta on PS5 right now. I love this franchise, but BF 2042 feels extremely sterile and is severely lacking all the magic of the previous entries. No destruction, no voice chat, barely any weapons, and obviously no classes.

I'm happy to see devs interacting with the community, but it usually only lasts in the run up to release, and DICE destroyed all trust with all the broken promises during BF V's life cycle. You said you were renaging on those promises to work on a this game, and deliver a "bigger better battlefield game" at the time, but my previous points show that was a lie. Three separate development studios worked on 2042. Lol. Your attitude does nothing to regain that trust. This game is last chance saloon for you, make no mistake.

That tweet doesn't even begin to acknowl...
