One of the Worst Animations I've seen in a AAA title

0:33 ah yes my thumb stretches to an inhuman length when I reload my revolver too

[BallisticsX]

BF1: This is my sidearm
BFV: THIS IS MY HANDCANNON!
BF2042: 3 frames firing animation

[lucalorenzoni]

Funny part is that they did it correctly in the past, they could just copy it, but they created a new animation (spending time and work) to make it worst

[ilyakusenco]

BF1: Amazing
BFV: Still good
2042: If robots from Ultrakill had reload animations

[nirboom]

I was like wtf bf1’s animations were spectacular and then we got to 2042
Absolutely awful

[AntiZer]

his thumb freaking extends when breaking the action and i cant unsee it

[EE-ivej]

Bf1/5: Tries to at least ensure if the round's positioning is right before inserting
Bf2024: GET IN THERE YOU LITTLE SHI-

[jgunner]

The way it throws the gun shut again in 2042 looks so forceful, I wouldn't be surprised if he's ejecting the rounds again

Of all the departments that Dice could’ve canned from previous titles, Models and Animations might’ve been the worse possible choice. I am fully convinced Battlefield 2042 was made with the sole purpose of attempting corporate suicide

[johnythecookedsteak]

“Uh…Captain why is that soldier shooting in the sky?”
“Don’t worry private, he does that often, you get used to it.”

[PlagueDoctor]

They forgot how to use the revolver, after all it is 2042.

[_hadmok_]

yes, you're right about that, I hope the developers will pay more attention to this, in general, the bf2042 weapon feels wooden

[markhynes]

The closing of the Mk. VI in 2042 is the funniest part of the whole thing to me.

Man puts his entire arm and upper body into that motion like the thing weighs 30lbs.

[Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

1: "This is the greatest handgun ever made!"
5: "Pretty...goood."
2042: "The stiff animation gives you no tactical advantage whatsoever."

[Immolator]

from all the terrible animations he could've choose, he choose one of the actually decent ones.

[yeetdachildmk]

Love how you can hear the fingers physically snapping to reload in bf2042

[orhun]

in BF2042 3rd person reload animations and 1st are the same. Probably this is why bunch of weapon animations looks weird.

[santiklingo]

if you pause at exactly 0:40 and then use the little frame skipping tool on pc by pressing > until the thumb is fully on screen, its insane how terrible it looks. the thumb looks like that one short meme video where the dude runs his thumb under water and it stretches. for an AAA company its INSANE how they got something as simple as a thumb wrong. its 3x the normal length of a thumb smh

The whole reason why you don't see top break revolvers anymore, is the pin used to keep the two halves connected, sucks. After a while of firing them it was common for the pin to become bent enough to become harder to open, and even harder to remove. And they're nowhere near strong enough to take modern calibers, let alone ones that would physically bend your wrist back at a 90° angle.

[BeggarSoldier]

Yea, most weapons in BF 1942 Portal feels stiff.
