Battlefield 2042 has now been available for around two months, and many fans may have been hoping for more. While the freedom offered by the game is still providing the insane gameplay clips that the Battlefield series has become known for, the more grounded Battlefield fans have been finding crucial issues with Battlefield 2042 since it was fully launched in November.

This toxicity centered around a series of since-deleted tweets from EA global communications director Andy McNamara about the “brutal” fan expectations surrounding Battlefield 2042. While fans seem to have since moved on from these tweets, there’s a new focus of the Battlefield 2042 subreddit, and it looks likely that this new focus could last for some time. Fortunately, this time around, there’s more of a lighthearted twist to the Battlefield 2042 subreddits' ire, but it is nonetheless grounded in fans’ frustrations.
