Battlefield 2042
Battlefield 2042 wasn't released in perfect condition, we know, and bugs are often boring, but every now and then you come across an error that makes you smile, like the one discovered by a Reddit user. What are we talking about? Battlefiled 2042 penguins can be repaired.As you can see in the video below, shared on Reddit, it is possible to get close to Antarctic birds and, quite simply, start repairing them as if they were an object. This is a team bug or programming error, but Battlefield 2042 players have found it amusing. "Ok, I understand! The game has a lot of problems. But can we all agree that repairable penguins are a great feature?" These are the words that accompany the video.
The post, in just 11 hours, got a thousand Likes, three Awards and more than 80 comments joking about this Battlefield 2042 game feature. There is no shortage of people who remember that birds aren't real (if you don't know, don't ask questions) and others that praise GOTY.
Speaking instead of real game elements of Battlefield 2042, here are the Christmas skins for characters and vehicles unveiled with the latest update .

‘Battlefield 2042’ Has Lost 70% Of Its Players In Two Weeks On Steam
Battlefield 2042
SteamchartTo say Battlefield 2042 has had a rough go of it since launch is an understatement, and players are fleeing from the game at such a rapid pace, its long-term sustainability might be in question.
Players seemed to universally think that Battlefield 2042 needed more time when it arrived for early test play, but it went ahead with its November 19 official launch all the same. As expected, it arrived with technical issues and missing features players had come to expect from the series, and it has seen rapid declines in interest since then.
In just under two weeks since launch, Battlefield has lost 70% of its players on Steam, going from a peak of around 100,000 to 30,000, as of its peak yesterday. It’s only outperforming Battlefield V by 10,000 players or so at the moment, and being beaten by the likes of Faming Simulator 22, Payday 2 and Red Dead Redemption 2.

EAThe concern is that if Battlefield 2042 continues this trend and its playerbase shrinks unsustainably, that not only affects things like matchmaking, but some worry EA will offer less support for it in the future. And this is a frankly bizarre conversation to be having just two weeks after a game like this has launched.
While Battlefield 2042 has plenty of its own issues, it certainly did not help that Microsoft surprise launched Halo Infinite during its release week, which sucked all the oxygen out of the room, and caused legions of players to flock to the rival shooter, which is free-to-play, over the paid Battlefield, a full $60 despite not including a campaign.
Battlefield 2042 was meant to be an experiment of what happens when you take a game like this, ditch the campaign entirely, and just focus on multiplayer. But EA’s desire to get it out for the holiday season at all costs meant that it simply was not ready for release, and DICE has had to spent a huge amount of time fixing its issues or promising to restore cut “legacy” features.
Call of Duty isn’t exactly having a super blockbuster year with Vanguard, but they lucked out with all the issues Battlefield 2042 has faced. The real shooter “winner” so far has clearly been Halo, even before the campaign release next week, where that game’s main problems are not technical or gameplay based, but only complaints about its battle pass and microtransactions, which are pretty easily remedied.
We’ll see what the future of Battlefield holds, but word is that DICE is concentrating solely on Battlefield, and leaving Battlefront on ice for a while, and we’ll see if they can get out of this 2042 era slump next time around. Or salvage this current game before it’s too late.
