@Kean_1111You're right and I learned my preorder lesson after BF5. Thank god I'm only on the 10 hour trial. Feel bad actually for the people that got this at launch. Heck, they probably felt that with 3+ years of development the game would be solid. Foiled again....
I still preorder games and in rare case will even purchase Gold Editions, etc., but typically for the reason of what other things they come with. ....not necessarily for early access although that's just a bit of a bonus. I won't pay extra for it though. In either case, it's usually after playing alphas / betas that I'm impressed with and I'm willing to take the risk.
As for BF2042, I will very likely purchase it next week even with the issues we know of. To be frank, some of the shortcomings people have with it are not really a concern for me (e.g. scoreboards, in-game comms, specialists, etc. My friends and I will really only be buying the game for it's Portal mode for use mainly as PvE experiences with some PvP within our own group. ....not randoms.
My only real concern is what happens with XP after the temporary suspension of it in Portal and the servers.

@Kean_1111At this point I can't play a single match without crossplay being on. I don't know why. I highly doubt there are around 100 xbox players total.
I'll await the full release to see improvement if not I'll submit a refund
Yeah, that sucks. I can't imagine this won't be addressed at some point though especially in those cases where consoles are being matched with PCs.
I think the problem lies with the whole matchmaking system, not a lack of players. It's a mess from the sound of it.
The thing is, none of this will really affect my decision next week as my interest in the game is solely focused on Portal. ....building solo, coop and PvP experiences with only my PS friends. My main concerns right now are the servers and what they do with the XP solution.
I hope it will be addressed pretty quickly. Originally the reason for my rant was the inability to play via console to console or even without crossplay. Seemingly the money for early access has been wasted thus far.
