Players are already angry with Battlefield 2042 because they can not specify properly

Direct to the start of Battlefield 2042 there are already numerous complaints from the community. Behind it is a missing feature from earlier parts: a real scoreboard. Mango summarizes what the players disturb.

What exactly is missing in Battlefield 2042? The scoreboard usually shows each player in a game, including important numbers from the respective match. This includes:

The K / D rate, so shot and death Assists Player Rank Score and placement

However, this is handled differently in Battlefield 2042. Instead of a scoreboard as you know it from earlier offspring, you can only see the squads of your own team. No detailed information about how many players are actually in the team, no details of the playing rank or the like.

Here you can see a direct comparison that looks like in a game:

Several players are not happy about it and now there are heap criticism of the missing feature in Battlefield 2042.

The scoreboard is considered important tool for Battlefield player

That s why the so many players disturbs: Scoreboards are actually indispensable from multiplayer shooters. They show where to stand themselves or their own team just in the game, as the opponent cuts out, and they make other important factors visible:

Are the teams balanced? Or are just professionals against beginners? Are the games full? Are there any cheater?

All this can be made visible through a scoreboard.

Especially in Battlefield with the sometimes long rounds, especially in conquest mode, the scoreboard is thus an important tool. In the current version, however, Battlefield 2042 s scoreboard is not exactly meaningful because you do not get any info about the opponent.

In addition, you can not see if the other squads are full and how they beat. This does not like numerous community members at all and strikes great waves in the Subreddit of Battlefield 2042.

That means the community: Several players discuss the topic in numerous threads. All of them now have several thousand updates, the most popular thread comes to more than 6500 Up votes (as of 12 November, 10:00 via reddit.com).

Feedback The player is clear: We need a scoreboard! There are an overwhelming number of comments that connect this opinion and take the different threads together, you would come to well over 1000 comments. A thread creator summarizes the concerns of the community:

The scoreboard gives an indication of whether one cuts out well, or not. If you cut badly, you can change or practice your game style to get better. The scoreboard is one of the things that make the Battlefield games a competitive game. In Battlefield 4, the scoreboard indicates who is dead or alive, thus also delivers other useful information. The least, what you can do [DICE] is to offer us the scoreboard in Portal. If you need inspiration, DICE, then look at Battlefield 4, a perfect scoreboard.

Meanwhile, there are real calls to the players to create more and more threads and attentive dice to the community s demands.

Players even go so far and threaten penguins with death: Bring the scoreboard back, or the penguin has to believe it.

128 players too much for a scoreboard in the game?

Why was the scoreboard changed at all? At an event, to which numerous content creator, journalists, and we could participate by Mango, to play Battlefield 2042, this question was also asked.

The developer s answer: It was difficult to indicate 128 players in a board in the middle of the game. However, the players do not apply, they should simply install a scrollable scoreboard.

Whether the feature comes into play in the near future will remain to wait. If the pressure of the fans are maintained, it is at least conceivable.

What do you think about the debate? Do you find the scoreboard so important? Would you also wish you to have a scoreboard as in Battlefield 4?
