BF2042 is now going to get clobbered by the COD Vanguard release

Personally I do not play COD at all !

I find that the COD game is more for the individuals, while the BF gameplay has much more in it about the team work and collaboration.  Likewise the BF mechanics comes across to me as being more technical and sophisticated.  Without offending anybody, guess its OK to say that the learning curve to master various elements in BF is also much higher.  All which I personally enjoy the challenge of!

But many many play both.  And especially on PC, there players have in average many more games and play a higher variation of games across aka a month compared to the console players.

And as we all noticed, many gamers were complaining about the BF2042 game price now for GOLD or ULTIMATE editions.  Finding it too expensive.  So its not like everybody just have unlimited money to buy whatever new game comes out next week, if just having spent $60 on COD Vanguard this week.

So I am not concerned about many of us here on this forum.  Many surely in a privileged position, with excess resources to get through the day.  But that is not the profile of the vast majority of BF2042 buyers.  And they are all instrumental to bring in the cash EA needs to keep adding exciting updates to the game and run servers across the globe for all to get a great gaming experience.

A botched start is not helpful and they had 3+ years in the planning to prep for this.  So yes, I am a dedicated fan, despite big disappointments with BF1 and BFV.  And yes, my expectations were high for this next venture, thx to EA's own communications to get this one right! 

Reason for my disappointment that EA stumbled just before the finish line and they appear to have learned nothing from previous communication breakdowns with their player base.

(thx for allowing my venting, as we all want the best of this next game!  😃)
