The Battlefield franchise has been notorious for its buggy launches ever since the infamous “long neck” glitch from Battlefield 3 went viral nearly a decade ago. As an outsider looking in, it’s always been entertaining to see clips of off-the-wall, crazy stuff happening in the game. Arguably, these incidents are what makes Battlefield, well, Battlefield—at least according to some members of the fan community.
So when I was given the opportunity to experience early access Battlefield 2042 first-hand, I jumped at the chance. Admittedly, I hadn’t played a Battlefield game since BF4, but I had extensive experience in other FPS series like Call of Duty and Apex Legends. I knew Battlefield focused more on team play and playing the objective, and I had no qualms about learning the ropes. What could possibly go wrong? I thought.
Everything, apparently.
Battlefield 2042, in…
