In the dystopian future of 2042, even Santa Claus must fight in war
- Thread starter Saucycarpdog

You must be fun at parties...
Why is this thread-worthy? People are already shittin on those skins in the OT, go join the party over there!
There's plenty of issues to shit on with this game, pick one, skins are none of them.
Also: that tank skin is hella nice!
Aaand also if I don't get a nice Mother Frost skin for my girl Falck I'm going to be super pissed!

Having fun with the skins is the first thing out of 2042 that hasn't disappointed me, to be quite frank.
Seasonal cosmetics are fun and MP shooters, especially one as wacky as battlefield beyond the surface level of the visuals, shouldn't be so dire. Lighten up OP.
Hardly anyone playing has watched that or is aware of the lore in 2042. It's just another shooter.
More people got excited about referencing the Rendezook than the apocoyptic lore.
Battlefield has always been over the top shooty shoot fun times, with only the veneer of serious authenticism.
Its a game where people experiment with jeeps and C4 to catapault planes out of the sky.
OP
OP
You're acting like I'm furious over it even though all I did was call it weird in my OP while giving my reasons why.
Anybody that's seen Crashmore knows that Santa Claus is used to hyper-violence. This skin is sort of a cosmic gumbo of Christmas and Battlefield.
I'm very happy for a thread, I wouldn't have seen it in the OT and it's hilarious.
Technically this is 958 years too soon for Evil Robot Santa.
Still, that tank is amazing.
"Your mistletoe is no match for my Tow Missile".
Battlefield as a series would be way more palatable if that skin was indicative of the general tone of the game. Few things not named Tom Clancy's whatever have been as off-putting to me as the pretentious, self- serving "war is so awful and serious I swear" intro to BF1 funneling me just a few minutes later into a zeppelin crashing onto the map while players run on it lolz game.
Same thing with 2042 - building on a highly probable world war 3 to market the game with flying into tornados lolz is absolutely vulgar. Pick a side DICE.

I know I'm gonna get some "no fun allowed" reactions here but it's just weird to build up this dystopian post-climate change world in the marketing like the Exodus short film (featuring the talent of the late michael k williams) and then suddenly go all Fortnite with the cosmetics.
Tbh it world have been nice for the campaign to go all-in on taking the setting seriously, then you can cut loose a little in multi.
I mean, I just don't think it's actually that much of a tone conflict because stuff that tried being actually serious about the setting setup was a lot more limited in terms of who generally saw it (being on the website or being attached to the hazard zone stuff) compared to the stuff that went goofy. (basically everything else in the marketing)
like I thought them putting the rendezook in the reveal trailer was a pretty definitive statement on how they were going to be doing tone in the game?

wait...
WHAT??!
then who is bringing me presents all these years?
i just mute/skip it when they show the specialists at the end of the match
