Maybe because you guys are playing with crossplay disabled and are playing against a lot of bots? The game is more demanding against real people.

I'm running crossplay on. There's the occasional moments where FPS tanks when being shot at by something specific from a vehicle (it is a known bug, happens on PC too apparently). When that does happen, it is usually when I'm getting nuked from a chopper anyway. Otherwise the game runs great on XSX. I'm not running an FPS counter but it feels perfectly fine.

I think people are forgetting that this is running 128 live people on huge maps and vehicles. There's not even anything really to compare it to.

Joint Operations from the creators of Black Hawk Down back in 2004ish had 150ish players, vehicles and huge maps.
 
I'm still loving the game on XSX. People on PC are still having issues that might be related to the anti-copy protection. Us console casuals don't have those issues. ;)

There's definitely things that need to be sorted. We need another balance patch for vehicles, and they need to fix the rooftop objectives in Breakthrough that are impossible to take (they need to stop letting the defense spawn tanks on there for one thing). They need to fix whatever is going on with PC of course (although I see mostly PC players so it can't be nearly as bad as they say). There's the Xbox stutter which happens maybe once a match for a second or two (known bug).

They already fixed the bloom issue and the guns feel great now, which was one of the huge gripes. I can easily use multiple guns and still be effective.

My advice, get a game pass ultimate 10 hour deal and give it a try and see for yourself. Next patch is supposed to be December, but there isn't anything stopping me from playing now. This game is like the opposite of Cyberpunk. This runs great on console and seems to have been optimized for it.

The progression system is actually pretty good compared to some other game I won't mention. It is a little slow and grindy, but you can do a lot in solo play against bots. You can use easy bots to quickly get your base gun upgraded in a match.
 
You guys are making me want to buy this now 🤬

Aaaand just like that I'm finding myself enjoying BF4 much more again, why do I even bother with new games.

Just get a $1 deal and cancel it. Some people really just don't like the game so I recommend trying it.

I did the dollar for 1 month thing, and then turned off auto-renew. Which says it now expires march of 2022? I didn't get Ultimate in the deal though.

I think it is 3 whole months for $1, so enjoy! I always just set a phone appointment to remind me to double check before it expires. Sometimes those auto-renew things turn back on magically.

This will give you time to play through Halo too. Definitely give 2042 a try and see if you like it.

But I don't think it gave me ultimate which I assume is required?
 
That sucks, yeah I think EA Play is part of Ultimate. I thought that would give it.
When I click Ultimate it says I will be charged $14.99 a month. No biggie man. It's only $70. If it ain't good, I just delete it.
 
I bought the cross gen bundle just now for the $69.99 from Xbox.com. I chose to INSTALL NOW to my Series X. But it didn't ask which version of the game I want to install. Xbox One or Series X/S. I am told the game is not using Smart Delivery, so which version did I just install?

For me it just seemed to pick the right one.

The performance is weird on PC. I get like 70-95 fps on Ultra and 4K, while my 3080 is at 85-95 utilization. My CPU has 1 core at 100 percent utilization while the other 15 are somewhat all over the place. It's smooth as butter on my end though. But performance could be better.

There is definitely something going on in the game that is making it overly CPU bound. DICE is aware of the issue but I don't think a fix is going to come any time soon.

You should be good. I don't think Xbox has the odd issue the PS5 had where you may download the wrong version. I'm the same as Kerosene, it auto selected the correct version.

Would this series be better off going F2P?
2042, yes. Portal? No. Let 2042 go free to play, take boring ass hazard zone with it. Give Portal the attention it deserves since it is getting the most praise.
