One of many inexplicable shortcomings Battlefield 2042 It is related to the UI and HUD of the game. Although DICE has restored some of the missing features in the recent patch, many elements in the new game are objectively worse compared to past games.
For example: Battlefield 2042 deployment screen. This new version of this classic screen lacks clarity, requires too many clicks to make simple adjustments, and lacks some of the expected quality of life features.
For example, the confusing icon makes it difficult to see where your teammates are, and it does not show you their first-person perspective, so you can judge whether it is safe to spawn on them. The loading section at the bottom is too big and relies on a mobile tiled menu that cannot list all the options on a single screen.
In addition, the vehicle selection menu of each faction is a large list containing all available vehicles, and there are no restrictions on each vehicle type. These problems are the reason why players feel very frustrated every time they view the screen when they respawn, especially because many of these problems did not exist in past games.
In order to provide some inspiration for DICE, Reddit user Marshen came up with a model that not only looks significantly better, but also solves all players’ concerns about the current model. They even explained the goals behind each change and how many clicks it saved players compared to the current iteration.
As you can see in the screenshot above, this is a more beautiful layout, much better than the current deployment screen of Battlefield 2042. Hope DICE can learn from this method to improve the game.
Speaking of this, a new report may explain why the chaotic design of Battlefield 2042 is like this. We look forward to a new small patch this week, which will be the last of the game this year.
