BF2042: a love letter to the fans

That was the biggest lie told by EA, yet.  I want to love this game as I have in all it's past iterations, but the lack of support from the get go makes me wish I bought it on Steam.  At least they know how to treat their customers, rolling back their refund policy on a game that was broken since day one.  I started playing BF with 1942 primarily for the vehicles,  it was the whole reason i got into PC gaming.  Releasing a squad based game that has always featured Air to Air combat with no joystick support and no VOIP.  What were they thinking? They built a game for consoles and It's a slap in the face to their longest playing supporters on PC.  Trying to get a refund out of EA, is just an endless circle of  "Sorry, you waited to long giving us a chance to fix our game that we can't give you a refund".  I'm almost at the point of going with the chargeback route and scrapping my whole account,  that's how dissatisfied I am.  So congrats, EA.  You're policies just guaranteed I will not be buying anymore of your games in the future.

    @SublimnalKiD Man people keep quoting this, i really wish they'd get it right ....PORTAL is the love letter to fans, an extra mode featuring older maps classes and weapons.
    And it is good enough to be classed as such.
    Plenty of things to be picky about just get your facts right.

    Probably a misinterpreted statement....that was in reference to bf6 going back to bf3 roots, which the guy was vague about...nothing in 2042 is like bf3...EXCEPT in portal.

    @Matty101yttam Hmm no. Its not misinterpreted or vague.

    BFV -> BF6 (2042) = love letter to those who adore the franchise. Probably because back then, they were intending on an actual BF game untill someone said "lets add specialists and sell skins, also lets make it a battle royale game"...

    That I can get behind but still... our love letter was a mailbox of flaming poop. Just sayin'

    they were definitely talking about portal not the whole game.

    Regardless which part of the game is supposed to be the love letter, they still left out major components that make battlefield, Battlefield. It's a joke

    haven't really felt any love from the devs in this game so far, maybe its just buried by all the bugs, issues,glitches and missing features.....

    well i am unsure if i will keep digging to find it much longer, in fact i am reinstalling every BF game since BF4 now just to keep me somewhat engaged with the franchise....

    @Matty101yttamit was supposed to be the custom Portal and the one thing I was really looking forward to, but they ruined it with the xp and prog restrictions. Hardly anyone plays it now because of this.
