@RayD_O1I am unsure what we are going to get in the next BF. I just look at what's happening with EA/DICE shutting down Marcus Letto and his studio, taking a new studio on. I don't get it. I think Marcus was listening to us and following the core roots. To get rid of the studio now just seems crazy to me. Over the last few months and leading up to that the content etc. has been really slow. Only one map for S6 when we finally got it, and then ML being let go and then S7 being dragged out to no end. We still dont have all the S7 content after all this time. It's clear that the past few months their focus on BF2042 has fallen by the wayside.
There seems to be leaks that the next BF is going to be based around NATO so potentially more specialists. I really hope they dont go down that route again! It's concerning that they started to put so much effort into the narrative etc. for BF2042 and making good QOL improvements for the game. It's all a huge waste of energy. I pity the Dev's tbh. I think they owed it to us to keep BF2042 going while we wait for the next BFTitle. I think that's why they stuck the Anti Cheat into BFV so we have something else to gravitate towards now.
I just hope that they have learned, I just hope that they have listened to all our feedback, but history keeps repeating itself with them over and over. The recipe is simple, just follow BF3 & BF4 and we will be right as rain with the next BF title.
Hopefully the only good bit of news is that the people who were working on BF2042 are now helping out with the next BF Title. Hopefully things work out and on release it is a polished game, not like the BETA or launch of BF2042. They have all the time and manpower now, hopefully the direction has not been lost.
