#BATTLEFIELD 5 DELAYED FULL#
Imagine that: 13 full days went by before anything was announced or marketed for the game, and the latest news we get? It’s about the game being delayed. That surely didn’t drive confidence in anyone’s eyes. While I don’t think DICE or the game is in trouble, EA does need to work on its marketing. Even with the delay announcement, they could have softended the blow with the announcement of the beta. But as everyone knows, we didn’t get anything about that, either. The most we got was a mention of how we’ll get updates on the beta “later this month,” which could mean this week or the last week of September. When you’re communicating about a multi-million product to a consumer base that have loads of choices and alternatives, the last thing you’d want is these people doubting your product and considering finding an alternative (in this case, it’s Call of Duty: Vanguard, and Halo Infinite), or even considering not finding an alternative shooter, and just choose from the multitude of free-to-play multiplayer games that are currently available.

I won’t pretend to know the inner workings of EA’s marketing department, but surely, anything would have been better than going silent for weeks. But the fact that people have loads of questions left, and we’re just a month from release, isn’t it time to maybe, y’know, open the floodgates a bit more? It’s gotten so bad that we’re left to chew on datamined info to get any sort of semblance of news. Not only have we not heard anything official about the new mode Hazard Zone, we still don’t know all the Specialists coming at launch, the weapons that will be available, and more.
Heck, we haven’t even seen actual raw gameplay outside of leaks and videos from content creators. Again, as a product as a whole, I am not that concerned about BF2042 since I trust DICE is capable of releasing a fun game.
