While we’ve seen gaming companies rip off another game’s features, looks or how it plays, it seems EA’s ad for Battlefield 2042 left quite an impression on developer Magic Prime Group Limited, as its newest ad for Battle Warship: Naval Empire basically copy and pasted the Battlefield 2042 ad for Battlefield Portal for their own (mobile) game.

We put the two up side-by-side so people can judge it for themselves.
There are a few differences in terms of the weapons, backgrounds, and the like, but for the most part, you can’t deny that the marketing team or devs of Naval Empire just cribbed off someone else’s work. Either that, or they are huge Battlefield fans.
Will EA take legal action against this? Probably not given it’s a mobile game, though we wouldn’t be surprised if they did. In other Battlefield 2042 news, we reported yesterday that next-gen consoles won’t be able to run at 120 frames-per-second confirmed!

They wasted time and resources dev-ing for LAST GEN (I know, I know, it’s money at the end of the day and more players. I’m not dumb) after PROMISING a “TRUE NEXT GEN” Battlefield release. *Yawn*Rolls eyes* Then they tell us it will be “too taxing on the cpu” on next gen consoles? That’s a hard yeah right from someone who has a vast understanding of what the XsX (xbox series x) is very much capable of. The game won’t even have full RT features on PC and NONE on console. Not to mention, the game isn’t really focused on visuals as much as performance. Yeah, there’s 128 players on fairly large maps. Guess what, Warzone is a massive map with MORE players and its graphics look quite good imo while running 120fps. Battlefield 5 was a graphical dream while still maintaining you guessed it, 120fps! EA/Dice/RIpPlEEfFeCt, who are you trying to fool? Your game isn’t ready, you didn’t even properly optimize for the friggin OFFICIAL CONSOLE of 2042. Shame on you. Everyone is too excited for the portal and hardware zone that they are all forgetting who much we were lied to. I canceled my pre order. I’ll play the 10 hr trial and go back to Insurgency and Hell Let Loose. Adios BF. Sincerely a player since the 1942 release who couldn’t afford a new gpu and instead bought an XsX.
