Battlefield 4 is better than 2042.
This is just my opinion and I'm curious to see what others think. Mostly I hate 2042. The remix of controls was a horrible idea. Flight is on rails and so horrible, beyond horrible, that I want to ju...

BF veterans are rolling eyes at people complaining about launch bugs. We get it.
We are more upset at the clear change in direction from the franchise. There is literally no point in having different load-outs, honestly. Other than a gear preset you can change in-game anyways. There's no incentive for teamwork, there's no expectation of community servers, there's no way to join more than 3 friends at once, realistically, and have the full experience. (Making/joining a custom game is really a lazy excuse for a solution here).
These are not "patch" adjustments, these are game-design directions that you can't really change post-launch without two branches of development and testing. I really don't hate the specialists, it's new and different, but it needs to fit into a teamwork component that doesn't exist to be successful in Battlefield. Not knowing who has what ability or gadget makes it impossible to work together to have a role-diverse squad; not like it matters, because you don't have any ability to choose/create squads anyways. Currently, everybody specs for themself, not because "the squad doesn't have a medic", that's the point.

there is no clear change in direction. IT's very much BF as BF has always been.
IT's total balderdash that there is no incentive for teamwork. There's all the incentive in the world.
Yes there are no community servers but they've moved away from that for a few BF games now. And they've been clamped down on pub stomping the past few BF games to some degree. That's what the whole join on more than 3 friends thing is about for many people even though they won't admit it.
this idea that randoms in past BF games were team oriented and now this new game is stopping that is again balderdash. Cue all the past complaints including from me about hill humpers and people not passing or carrying ammo and not helping with vehicles etc.
- @trip1ex I see less teamwork so I am calling BS on that. I hardly ever see any sort of teamwork anywhere.
Think about it. You create a specialist. Is that not individualism at its finest? I would say so. Halo is out as this will solve a lot of players 2042 woes.

Some you guys are a piece of work. You don't define what teamwork is and then act like you have a precise tool for measuring "teamwork" to the third decimal place.
- @trip1ex sure i can when i have experienced it. Sorry you haven't
There's plenty of teamwork. I see it all the time from my perspective in a tank.
Last round I played over the weekend I was irritating the hell out of the enemy team on orbital in my tank.
Moving in, taking them out and then retreating down below the runway under the rocket launch site to repair from their attacks.
Eventually several enemy players worked together to fight me off including infantry on the skyscraper who were firing at me from the other side of the map!
Eventually as I was getting dangerously low on armor health as they fought me off, I reversed back over the hill towards our home base and I'd thought I'd gotten away with it only to be finished off by their attack chopper hovering behind me.
Now that's teamwork, and it happens every round.
I don't think you know what teamwork actually is in a battlefield game.
- @zakrocz thats because you ran into a horde. This game reminds me of days gone....lol
