I agree,but how is that any different from other BF games ?.

@Netranger9the core of the game is broken with very little balance and terrible map designs.
Specialists, especially Mackay and Sundance broke the BF formula and made the gameplay too randomized.
Arguably the worst net code ever designed for an FPS. We have hit reg issues 2 years post-launch.
45Hz servers in 2023, soon to be 2024 is borderline criminal at this point.
Quick Play and matchmaking is the only method to join a game, that works great for a Battle Royale game, but not for BF. A Server Browser is a must.
Launched in 2021, and still in 2023, very little destruction and levelution, which was a hallmark of previous BF games.
Player movement is still clunky, you can't swim underwater, don't try to move backwards when prone, how about leaning? Nah, that was so 2013. Let me sidestep slowly into view to be aim-assisted to death and killed behind cover. Some actions take so long to complete that you are dead before you can even complete them. Oh, there is a one-foot high bump, impossible for a human to jump that, let's do a delayed climbing animation so I can be shot while looking cool.
Vehicle physics are still way off, like we are fighting on another planet where everything is floaty with less gravity. A small little rock can stop a tank going full speed like it hit a brick wall or launch you 30 feet in the air.
Mouse input is still delayed, and from the sounds of it, on purpose. There is better mouse response in PowerPoint than in an FPS, and some things are impacted on the server side which is mind-boggling.
Again no different than any other BF game.Oh I almost forgot the least amount of content for any BF title, the fewest weapons, vehicles, and maps, which is the content we pay for. The game was the most expensive of any title, yet we got the least amount of "game" in the series. Go figure, almost like they only exist to make the biggest profit possible with the lowest amount of overhead.

While I totally agree with this well thought analysis, it's important that DICE recognize the problems and do their very best to fix them soon and before the end of Season 8, rather than give up, because we aren't getting another Battlefield for at least a year and a half.

The same teams/studios are not working on the same games. There are several other studios and other groups in DICE already working on the next title. There are like 5 devs and few "Managers" and "Directors" working on 2042.

But what about all my weapon charms (that you can't see [who gives a crap]), badges (that you can't see [who gives a crap]), and weapon/specialist skins and takedown animations!!! Just think of all of that AMAZING content!

I don't know about worst in the series "Hardline I'm looking at you" but is incredibly poor for a company who used to put out good games.
- 2 years ago@Netranger9 Battlefield 4 after launch became a very good game which battlefield 2042 still sucks escpesially if you are a vehicle player having to deal with all thoose specialists over powered AAS camping at spawn (renewal map) hitting me across THE WHOLE MAP then lissiles which if you know what you re doing you can dodge them. Then we also have maps shaped like renewal for instance exposure had 2 ways the pilot could avoid the aa under layer and upper but renewal breakaway and even discarded lack thoose things then we also have the fxm AA as a help to the aas and the jets the brawlers the mav the tank with the tow missile even barely anywhere to hide in such maps ( compare it to golmud railway paracel storm notnoverpowered AAs cpscoping you accross the map but ill end this comment here

Developing the game for last gen consoles to make more money backfired on them. They had to use old tech standards for netcode, graphics (destruction), and hit reg instead of taking advantage of advanced processors and high speed internet.
