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.
It definitely is the worst BF in the franchise out of the titles I've played (BF1942, BF3, BF4, BF1 and BFV).
I think @Adamonic summarized it pretty well. The whole specialist concept is completely out of tune with what Battlefield used to be, and solely implemented to sell cosmetics. Meanwhile the lack of proper content (Maps, weapons, vehicles, NOT SKINS) at this point also makes this title the worst in the franchise. Just give us back premium and seasonal DLC with 4 new maps and other content, I'll pay for that, I won't pay for any cosmetics!
I have switched crossplay off at PS5, and that should be a default for any platform! That experiment failed miserably and crossplay should only be an option to those who want to play with friends on different platforms. Otherwise everybody should be kept within their own eco-system to keep things fair.
We need a server browser and persistent servers that play a map rotation, not this quickmatch principle currently present in the game.
All in all, I will not pre-order or order the next BF at launch. Only when user reviews after launch are positive I will buy.
