DICE TeamGood Day DICE Mgmt,
I have been anxiously awaiting this major update and to be honest after playing it with my clan mates for hours we were all unanimously angry and frustrated for many reasons a few major issues below:
I won’t even get into the fact DICE refuses to allow clan representation that’s another infuriating topic
ok 3.2 frustrations:
1. STOP nerfing the CRAP out of the Insertion Beacon. This is one of the most important gadgets in the game to squads like ours that rely on strategy, flanking etc. having a “self-destruct” feature is BAD and creates a huge negative operational impact.
Suggestion: please for the love of Bf remove all self destruct features, allow unlimited spawns (they don’t last long anyway) and remove the massive tripod also
2. Bipod and 40MM Grenade launcher now requires we “HOLD” the down D-Pad instead of a quick click. The second or two extra to HOLD has been getting me killed most of the time and again, a very negative operational impact.
Suggestion: please revert these changes as it was fine and usable as they were
thanks
This update accomplished absolutely nothing except infuriating the BF player base . The fact that Dice thought that testing this update out with a group of streamers and BF veterans validates every bit of criticism thrown at them for being out of touch. That group does not represent the skill set and priorities of the player base. The vast majority of players play the game by matchmaking with other random players. Implementing restrictions isn't some silver bullet for turning the chopper dumping gamepass and free trial ham-and-eggers into good teammates. Campers continue to camp and lone wolves continue to operate on their own.
Looking back, it's absolutely mind blowing how many resources Dice has squandered implementing either unbalanced weapons and vehicles, or design changes like this that don't correlate with the core elements of the original game. The railgun and tank should've never been implemented in their original state. No one wants to use an item like the rail gun again now after it's been nerfed, or vault weapons that don't receive the same treatment as standard weapons. It took an entire season to correct their ADS speed, they have no skins and only handful of attachments at best. Everything that's ever been added has either rendered multiple other items obsolete or required further balance changes to correct. This update was an unmitigated disaster on so many fronts, negating any benefits we could've realized from changes like the map redesign, which align with the core game we've been playing for 2 years.
