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.
@RanzigeRidder2
You nailed it 100%. 👍
I would welcome the return of the Premium Pass, worth every penny imho.
I play with crossplay off PC.
@JOGAGATYAWith user reviews I'm not referring to the biased opinions of YouTubers, especially not those who are part of the EA Creator network. And there's others who build their channel around constant being negative, I take their opinion with a grain of salt too.
I always check reviews from multiple sources, for example via Metacritic.
@JOGAGATYAIt seems like nearly every YouTuber gets on the same trend. For example last week it was “The Finals”, which is a pretty solid game to be fair, but it’s definitely not for everyone. They’re all acting like it’s reinventing shooters or something.
The esports aspect of it will likely kill it off pretty quickly in my opinion. It has a lot of neat ideas, but there’s too much going on. Once all the streamer and the sweatiest of try-hards get a feel for it, they’ll just dominate every match. Idk about you guys, but I could care less then ever about being competitive or esports.
I base all my buying decisions on the beta. I consider it to represent how the final game will play.
There's also Xbox Game Pass and EA Play subscriptions you can buy for a month to rent games before buying them.
I'm a big game rental fan. I remember when there used to be movie and game rental stores on street corners. I've rented tons of video games and movies over the years. 🙂

Try before you buy. You could also do that with electronics back in the day. Rent to own, lol. I don't even know if they still do that.

That's true! I remember renting the Sega Saturn game console from Blockbuster Video. I would never rent to own though due to high interest rates. I only rent something long enough to figure out if I want to buy it.
Without a shadow of doubt, the worst Battlefield I have experienced. Hard-line is different as it was a off-shoot, not mainstream Battlefield. Graphically there's nothing bad about the 2042, but it is just everything under the hood, poor design choices, extreme lack of content. 2+ years in and only 5 new maps! awful maps, a revision of destruction, which was a standout feature of the game! It pales in comparison to heavyweights like Bad Company 2, BF3 and 4
All this talk of Battlefield is back is youtuber shill propaganda!
