Both EA, DICE, and the player community know that Battlefield 2042, which has been criticized since its launch, is facing a terrible situation, but obviously the situation faced by players in some overseas regions is even more embarrassing. .
Vandiedakaf, a South African player, recently posted on the Reddit forum and received a large response from the community. He explained that he was in a strange situation where “the game was held hostage by one person” on a South African server.
According to the description, due to the small number of players on the South African server, it is almost impossible to play the classic conquest mode or dangerous zone of Battlefield 2042. Therefore, the only mode option that can be played is the “entry” mode that allows players to customize the rules.
However, it doesn’t matter if you just want to play a game where a few people fight once morest AI, but if you want to experience multiplayer online combat on a South African server, you may only have one choice, because vandiedakaf explained: “The first South African player to open a server at night can basically fully control the way other players on the (South African) server play.”
vandiedakaf claimed that the homeowner player controlled the largest server room in South Africa in the entrance mode for several weeks. Anyone who joined the room must obey the homeowner’s orders. vandiedakaf described this situation as making other players hostages of the homeowner.
At the same time, he also posted a screenshot showing that the Ping value of the server in South Africa was only 4 in the normal range, and he was kicked out of the battle by the room with the most people because he didn’t want to obey the owner. , Just hope to arouse the DICE team’s attention by speaking out.
In fact, players can easily go back and play Battlefield or other multiplayer online shooting games with older releases. They often find that there will only be one server room in the old game with a large number of people, and if you want to join the room, you generally have to abide by the rules of the owner.
Although most of this phenomenon only occurs in old games, a similar situation has occurred overseas less than 3 months following “Battlefield 2042” was launched. Even South African players can still choose to connect to other overseas servers, but relatively have to endure more than 100 pings.
The most interesting thing is that Reddit netizens have been hearing the response of this story, quoting the meme map in the movie “Sea of Wrath” to respond to the suffering master: “Look at me, I am the server. “(Look at me, I’m the server now)
So far, the community criticism that “Battlefield 2042” has to face has not yet seen the end. It was only a while ago that the officialPostpone the renewal time of the first season to this summer, The scoreboard update has also been extended to March, just to solve many problems in the current game.
At the same time, last month, a player initiated a joint petition on the petition platform, requesting EA Must be refunded for all platforms of “Battlefield 2042”, So far, more than 50,000 co-signatories have exceeded 50,000. In addition, the recent evaluation of “Battlefield 2042” on Steam has fallen to overwhelmingly negative reviews, and the dissatisfaction of the player community can be seen in general.
