I hope they just throw in the towel early and let the franchise die. If the last few BF titles has proved anything, it's that the franchise is only getting worse. Everytime they say they are going to "learn from previous titles", "take Battlefield back to it's roots", and "listen to it's community". All I've seen in 2042 is whatever the exact opposite of those things is. EA/DICE have pretty much lied to and ignored it's loyal playerbase by making changes no one has asked for, got the basics totally wrong, and ignored everyone's calls to fix the majority of issues. I have absolutely no confidence they can reverse the trend downwards, and I'm convinced the next title will be even worse.
