Shroud\u2019s had mixed feelings about Battlefield 2042 since he started playing it during the early access period. He\u2019s praised some aspects. For example, he described the Portal mode as the \u201chighlight\u201d of the game. He even had a wonderful time showcasing what he believes is the \u201cmost broken\u201d vehicle in the game. However, he\u2019s been critical of others. He believes the Hazard Mode could do with a bit of a rework to make it more suitable for players wanting to unlock weapons and attachments. Now, he\u2019s revealed some concerns about the overall gameplay, too. More specifically, he thinks the excessive use of \u201cbloom\u201d \u2013 a feature that adds an element of unpredictability into shooting, rewards bad players. \u201cThe game has a lot of bloom on rifles. Not just on rifles, but most things,\u201d he said. For that reason, he believes guns that have less bloom, including SMGs and DMRs, are more dominant than assault rifles at the moment. His comments drew a reaction from a fan who said: \u201cI\u2019d rather have bloom than some nerd lasering me from across the map.\u201d Shroud responded, saying, \u201cSee, that\u2019s exactly why they did it. So that people like you could have a fair chance. I get it. It makes sense. It just doesn\u2019t feel very good. It rewards worse players, which is kind of weird. I just don\u2019t agree with it.\u201d He explained that he\u2019s \u201cfine\u201d with the developer\u2019s decision to make it a feature and insisted they \u201cdon\u2019t have to change it.\u201d It\u2019s not going to stop him from playing. He just doesn\u2019t like the idea of \u201cmaking better players worse.\u201d Despite his claims about bloom in Battlefield 2042, shroud is still a formidable force in any given lobby. On November 15, a clip of him taking down an entire squad, including a helicopter pilot, went viral. However, he\u2019s still convinced that the amount of bloom in Battlefield 2042 is holding him back, and wants DICE to change the gun feature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shroud slams Battlefield 2042 gameplay for \u201crewarding\u201d bad players Twitch: Shroud \/ EAMichael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek slammed the amount of \u201cbloom\u201d in Battlefield 2042\u2019s gameplay, describing it as a \u201cweird\u201d feature that ultimately rewards bad players over good ones.
