Question: Why couldn't these notes have been posted last week? The patch itself is like 4 lines of notes and there's nothing else "new" in it unless work on the post didn't start until today.
I think we were expecting a smaller patch, but holy crap this still manages to be underwhelming even for a smaller patch.
What has battlefield come to.
- This game shipped without a scoreboard
- The community had to ask for a scoreboard to get added, while it's a very very very basic functionality in games within the FPS genre
- The initial draft lacked DEATHS, again the community had to ask for them to get added, it's very basic info and on all scoreboards on every FPS game including all the previous battlefields
- 7 Months after release of the game, a scoreboard gets added...
And then the communication for these patch notes are like if the dev team moved heaven and earth to present to us...... a scoreboard.
And telling us how much time and effort it took to create this scoreboard.... from scratch... really?
Yes, we asked for a scoreboard, because it should've been in the game on release! It should not take away any development time from a so called "live-service" game to implement such basic functionalities, the same with VOIP, Squad management, etc.
It should not take away any development time from fixing any of the game breaking bugs and glitches that are still in this game from release.
This whole update is a joke, the release notes are a joke, this game is a joke.
