Sorry Dear new DICE but we (especially we, squad of 7 friends) aren't going to get back to battlefield, not now not ever, not until we see the same old features which we had in every battlefield games earlier. How can you not have them in BF42? And what takes so long to just add such basic functionalities that have always been there.
bring back:
- Able to change squad, lock squad,
- UI customization (mini map changes)
- Server browser for full game. Its impossible for two friends from two different regions to find a game with current system.
- VOIP in every game mode. (did you guys just assume we read minds in Hazard zone of other users in squad? its impossible to play)
- Whats the drama with removing and bringing the Rush mode? Rush was classic since bad company 2. Add it.
- No continuous lobbies, need to do matchmaking again after every match wthell? i want to be able to play with same enemies another time.
^ these points are basic points. These aren't something extra. these are something that have been there in every battlefield earlier.
I never write a comment, but you guys stole my 80 euros and gave me nothing that I expected as a base game.
Delete this comment and I'll accept this is what DICE is, improve the game and all of us, especially 7 of us will return to the game.

Hello,
- You are able to change the squad while you're in the game from the ESC menu - Scoreboard - Change Squad.
- You're able to lock the squad by setting it as Private in Social menu
- There are some levels of degree where you can customize the Minimap - I've already zoomed it out per infantry, vehicles and air vehicles. You can change the opacity, to be static or to rotate etc.
- If you have a friend from a different region why won't you squad up with him and join any AoW / Featured or Portal server through Server Browser?!
- They already announced that VoIP will be added in mid to late February with additional improvements.
Thank you!
A rookie who put more than 8500 hours played into this franchise.

Will the performance on 128 players mode be improved in cpu intensive cases?
My 3600X is not enough for a solid experience, frame drops from 100 to 67 fps on cpu demanding cases on 128 players modes.
Will you improve it with this update?
Will you fix it a bit in the next update?
Do you still care about us? :-)

Fair response but I believe his issue with the change squads is that he can't choose what squad to go to. He can't make a new empty squad. Even if he could, as far as I understand it its impossible for people to join on their friends if they are in a match.
- 4 years agoWrong, friends can join on you easily by making a game party. If you want more to join you, you’ll have to leave the current game party and start another.

@ vme23 you are being patronizing and you have played other bf titles. looked at your post history. you have played enough to KNOW that the things he @ filthysoad brought up are EASILY done in previous titles and in 2042 you have to jump through hoops to do what is BASIC in previous titles. pls dont talk down to people by saying.. " a rookie thats put x numbers of hours into a game " after side stepping what he was pointing out. the game is UNDER thought out. they have made BASIC known tried and TRUE processes very difficult to achieve.
do not reply to me.. just do better, because what you did was NOT going to help the title.
@FilthySOAD there are thousands of us out there that feel the same. Thank you for taking the time to express what is needed. oh.. as i write this. i see in the 2042 discord and / direct communications looks like they are gonna TRY to address all of the things you brought up. I might just delete this cause .. naw.. ima leave it
*lets see if EA / dice manage to drop the ball again *
- 4 years ago@FilthySOAD I have had every PC version of this franchise since the OG 1942. I cannot believe that it is impossible to join my friends / browse servers.

You can join friends by creating a party under Social. But it's still impossible to properly organize groups because of all the missing features.
