Re: What is the fascination with classes?

I would like to know why people that don't like the game and don't like the specialist why are you still here talking about a game you don't like unless you are trying to sway people into not liking the game?  I know when I don't like a game I stay clear of even talking about it.  

@CantGetRight Because we love Battlefield and we want to fight for the Battlefield experience we love because we know that 2042 can be a fun and proper Battlefield if DICE course corrects like they did with BF5's Pacific expansion. My question is if you want Battlefield to be something other than Battlefield why not just play those other non-Battlefield games and leave Battlefield to those who love it?

I've played every Battlefield title and I've never seen the community in this state - not even in BF5 which was objectively the low point of the series for community sentiment. It was apparent in the recent EA earnings call that 2042 has failed and they are looking to do something so it's not just a few malcontents on the forum saying 2042 needs big changes, it's the majority of the player base. If you're enjoying 2042 that's great, but it's apparent that both the core player base and the EA finance department is not.

    @ragnarok013 Thing is this is a BF game through and through. You have large-scale maps, large-scale fights, vehicular combat, infantry combat. infantry vs vehicles. It's the same thing you had in every BF ever produced. The only difference is they added specialists on top of classes and opened up the weapons. In fact I get BF2 vibes from this game that the others didnt have.

    @CantGetRight we'll disagree then. I still play BF2 a few times per year on Game Ranger and I get zero BF2 vibes - I get some BF4 vibes from the maps though. The entire experience couldn't be less Battlefield for me and my group of friends, it feels like Apex with tanks and we all loath Apex.

    @ragnarok013 Is that the same as what BF2 Hub uses? Because that's what I hop onto when I want the BF2 itch every now and then. Sadly there's only one US server that's wake island only that usually is only a 1/3rd or half full. Plenty of non US full servers though.

    @Albake21z I don't know as I've never used BF2 hub. I normally jump on BF2 3-4 years per year since I mostly play BF3 and BF4 nowadays.

    @ragnarok013 I would hazard a guess that the poor reception of the game is due, in no small part, to the game not satisfying BF loyalists or BR players. By trying to appeal to everyone (and grow the franchise base), EA have successfully appealed to almost no one.
