I was wondering where Battlefield 2042 stands on the law of war when it comes to ejected pilots. After a long day at the office, who doesn’t want to fire a tank shell through the side of a quaint cottage I the country?
Truly, one of the best parts of Battlefield games is the fact that you can destroy everything in your path. If you haven’t seen the trailer, you can check it out below.Īround three minutes in is where you can find the dogfight in question, which is spliced in with incredible game engine footage of tense breaches and firefights that have me thinking “ I wonder how much of this scenery is gonna be destructible?”. It looks like EA and Dice have been back to the drawing board with a few energy drinks and just said “Yes” to everything the game designers came up with. Sure, I was spellbound by the cinematic dogfight, where the chased pilot is seen soaring into the clouds - enemy in tow – unexpectedly ejecting from the fighter jet, and then deftly firing a heat seeking missile at their bewildered opponent. The first question I had was about the Geneva Convention. I asked myself many questions when I saw the trailer for the multiplayer-only, shiny new Battlefield 2042. So, with all of that negativity out of the way, let’s look at some of the more exciting launches heading our way in 2021 and beyond! Battlefield 2042 Games like Hades, MS Flight Simulator, Half-Life: Alyx, Warzone and Assassin's Creed Valhalla have satiated even the thirstiest of the PC Master Race. Mostly, PC gamers have done really well over the last year or so, when we think about it. PC gamers (as usual) were sat waiting for the list of formats to appear on their screens to see if PC would be supported. We had to take what we could get, really. Let’s not forget the splendour of Horizon Forbidden West, either. We were treated to some good news about Battlefield 2042, and Elden Ring had us on our feet, too. That wasn’t to say E3 was a total bust, of course. Most of the games we saw (not just for PC) were given little attention by their publishers, and presentations like Far Cry 6 had audiences thinking “ Is that it?”. And as a result, I expect E3 to continue disappointing those who judge it against the more comprehensive shows of its heyday.”
As Brendan Sinclair writes on, “ Looking forward, I expect the industry to continue growing. Most view the event as a poorly orchestrated and incomplete roundup of games by people who don’t understand gamers but understand the business of games. Then E3 pulled the rug out from under anyone who had a scrap of hope left.Į3 is not without their haters. It felt like gamers had regained some power.
After all, we were now living in an age where highly anticipated games developers such as CDPR and powerhouses like EA were being met with such derision by gamers, that they actually changed things up and tried to do better. Everyone took a breath and took stock of the gaming industry, it seemed. Indie developers had picked up their keyboards and hammered out games left, right and centre, while huge companies fell to their knees clutching their apology notes. After the maelstrom of 2020, there were a lot of questions about the gaming industry as a whole. There’s a lot to look forward to in the next few months and first half of next year.
