Yeah it is about time considering how many use McKay for the speed and body armour.
That and the high ground stuff. Certain maps I stopped using him on because it was such a cheesy exploit to post high numbers. This is the kind of stuff where I know they do but it certainly feels like DICE don't play their own game.
So it has been a long long time since I have been heavily into shooters as I have never been particularly good at them but I love them.
Kind of cut my teeth on Quake 2 and Duke Nukem then to Unreal series, and Unreal Tournament, Quake Arena and all those arena shooters and then moved into Wolfenstein Enemy Territory , Medal of Honor, Call of duty and battlefield. I think the last I played was COD 4 other than some dabbling with Halo Infinite.
Is Battlefield 2042 kind of the main game left with large team style games?
Everything else I see is parachue in run full speed, hit gear swap swap pop in armor, run before the gas/storm/whatever closes in and it does not appeal to me and has no real style (IMO)

There are multiple games with big team battles but they are a bit different than Battlefield. There is squad, and Hell let loose. Both of those are far more tactical and less forgiving than Battlefield although they are both good games.
There is battlebit remastered which is very similar to Battlefield but has the graphical style of Minecraft. Even COD has a really big team battle mode although I personally think it's terrible.
Probably forgetting a few but those are the main competitors. Even with 2042's issues on a personal subjective level, I still find it the most fun to play of those but that's because the tactical ones aren't really my jam.
There is a new one coming called Delta Force that may end up being decent.
New Delta Force game looks like Battlefield...

It's kind of crazy how long they took to really nerf Mackay and only do it now that the game's live service is ending lol, but anyway the nerfs seem fair and he should have never had that crazy strafe speed to begin with. The grappling hook timer now actually makes him think about where to use it to get positional advantages instead of just using it all the time, and they're even going to go further where it'll have the reload animation play when you first pull it out so that you can't use so quickly to get out of danger. Game really should have been like that from the start but with all the marketing around the grappling hook I can see why they left it broken.
Anyway Stadium is whatever, kind of a bummer map to end the live service on. Maybe they should have pushed that out first and Haven last since Haven is really great. Stadium just feels like another killbox and I'd rather play a map like redacted if I'm in the mood for one of those.
I'm excited to jump back in for Control mode now as that is one of the best ideas/modes to come from 2042 and grind out the new gun. I really hope Control, Frontlines, and Shutdown regularly come back and they have that set up automatically so that even after the last dev has moved off they can still be played actively in the playlist rotation because they are the some of the most fun things to come from the game.

Another ex-Dice employees shooter vaguely reminiscent of battlefield. It's on steam and play testing this weekend.
Feels like COD mixed with the finals mixed with a small amount of battlefield.
I tried it today but can't say I really enjoyed it. While it mixes all of the above games, all of the above games play better and feel more fun. Hopefully it's at a very early stage and will get better as it polishes toward launch. I also thought the gamepad controls didn't especially feel good. Good Luck to them in such a crowded shooter market.
