Battlefield 2042 Was "Very, Very Well Received" By Community, Says EA Chief
Battlefield 2042 seems to be in a good place after its open beta, as EA CEO Andrew Wilson says feedback has been "overwhelmingly positive" as a result. As reported by GamesRadar, Wilson made this claim during an earnings call with EA investors, and while the general statement is vague enough, it indicates that the general reaction to Battlefield 2042 post-beta has been what the company I was looking for. "Overall," Wilson said, "the feedback from the beta has been overwhelmingly positive. I think there's been some conversation about some elements of the beta, which is not abnormal in beta elements and really implementing it into the game ".

Wilson concluded by saying that Battlefield 2042 is "something the community welcomes very, very well and is very, very excited about." It's a stark contrast to the reception Battlefield 5 received prior to its release, and that game's lackluster reception and sales almost certainly contribute to the excitement of 2042's "return to the roots of the series" feel of 2042. .
