Battlefield is dead
So as a long-time fan of the franchise I'm very sad to say that Battlefield is no more. I don't really want to talk about server joining issues or random bullet spread, that can and will probably be ...
I guess we just have our differences, I’ve played battlefield since battlefield 2 on the xbox my favourite was battlefield 3 I feel BF2042 is a breath or fresh air, different to previous battlefields but something the FPS industry needed, all I hear about is complaints about the game being different and nothing like the previous yet I see the same banter and complaints about the COD being a re skin every year, unfortunately you can’t please everyone but what a gaming company will try to do is please the majority, I haven’t had this much enjoyment on a battlefield game since BF4 first release, I do understand of issues and complaints of the game feeling soulless or no class systems but I am hoping Dice sort out these issues, the class system can easily be incorporated thorough specialists and a quality of life can sort out the soul of this game I feel the game play and the potential gun play is very good and it’s very evident this game was released too early I’m hoping there’s some major improvements in the future but I 100% disagree that battlefield is dead.
Oh no, a YouTube said it so it must be true!
You don't not speak for many.
People hate change. That's why COD and Madden are pretty much the same game every year with a few small tweaks/changes. They get hated on for being the same game every year but people still play them. Bottom line whether it's stays the same or changes people are gonna * and moan.

I disagree with OP overall. BF is far from dead their are some issues but the gameplay is fun.
As for People hate Change. As someone who works in a very fast paced ever changing environment. No. That's categorical wrong.
People hate unconsulted change, changes made without the why, and no real engagement. I don't know anyone who before B2042 said we need specialists, even post Feedback told DICE this was a bad idea. Yet they did it anyway, because by the time beta happened they were locked in.
It's Diablo Mobile all over again. Companies telling people what they want rather than actually asking the question.
@BicolorZuluHaving been in the military for 30 years and now working for a large defence company, I can guarantee that people do indeed, hate change unless it is of direct benefit to them.
This is regardless of whether said changes were consulted upon or not. Indeed, it was common for consulted changes to end up bearing no resemblance to actual changes but the fact that change was OK in the first place was good enough to make any change.
And there will always be some one who says "well, no one asked ME!"
@Trokey66 did I say majority?! I said a lot of people dislike it. I don't have to speak for the majority to voice my concerns. You can't deny the fact that the community is divided over this game and many hate what is happening to Battlefield . We are not here electing a president, we are talking about a game. The reason I spoke about youtubers was to reference someone else, but I also referenced Reddit.
I have an EA Pro subscription, so I've played this game and know what I'm talking about. It's not solely based on what Youtubers have to say
Without Portal I wouldn't have purchased this game. Portal still has some issues, namely the inability to host an experience in my own region.
Honestly I would be ok if they show the scoreboard, but not display deaths. Like you'll know your own number of death but not others.
Maybe make it focus more on scores, captures, support (rez, repair etc.) instead of KD.

Every game is divided, you will never please everyone. I have been hearing the same complaints since BF3: "launch sucks, game is dead, they ruined the franchise". And the funny thing about all of this is that in the end everyone references the previous title (which they complained about constantly) of doing it right: "BF4 sucks, BF3 was done right.....BF1 sucks, BF4 was done right...BFV sucks, BF1 was done right". Yet people still buy and still play.
Things have to evolve to bring in more new people not just cater to the veterans, that's how companies make money, through growth not stagnation.
If you don't like it, well that's great, but putting a blanket term on how this game is dead and "a lot" of people dislike it really doesn't mean much since "a lot" of people do like it. My suggestion is that you just then find a new game and move on, debating in a chat of a "dead game" totally contradicts your statement.

Little did sweet Trokey66 know, he spoke for 98.1% of the people who bought this game and havent played it since November. 105,000 players to 2,400 players in 2.5 months.
You do not speak for many. You speak for almost nobody.
Well this aged well
As per the above summoning, I'm going to lock this thread for "necro", since it's not been active since 2022.
