@PsubondDelay the whole game a year, good. Delay the season pass 6 months bad?
Whilst I am not pleased with this news as well, it seems that they are doing what the 'community' wants and concentrating on 'fixing the game' before further release.
How many threads/posts have there been saying "the game should have been delayed"?
How much they actually 'fix' remains to be seen.
The game may go on stand by for a while....
Stop shilling for billion dollar corporations. They deserve no sympathy or understanding for scamming millions of customers of a good chunk of money and lying about the state of the game, then doing nothing for 3 months after launch.

@ItzanNot 'shilling' for anyone simply stating that you can't 'demand delays' one minute then complain when delays are announced the next.
I'm as annoyed as anyone with this but it is clear that the 'community' doesn't want stuff released till it is ready.
It seems to me that DICE have 'listened' and are prioritising 'legacy features' that the 'community' want, what we will get remains to be seen and the proof will be in the pudding.- Itzan4 years agoSeasoned Traveler
You absolutely can demand delays before a product is labelled complete and your money goes to the developer. But once your money is in the developer's hands and that developer has said that the product will be COMPLETE at a specific date he must deliver on his end of the contract. You realize that's what purchases are, right? When the developer fails to deliver on his promises he must posthaste fix the issues so the product is completed.
It's been almost three months since release where DICE have actively refused to listen and pretended the game wasn't broken and core features weren't missing.
Also them taking almost three months to release a * sketch of a concept scoreboard that has a boatload of issues and even that scoreboard won't be implemented for god knows how long?
DICE has over 700 employees as of 2020, are you telling me that they don't have manpower to add a scoreboard to their flagship game? That means they either don't want to or are utterly incompetent - both deserve the full scorn of the community.

So….i guess the most vocal negative people here will get everything they wanted? Now it is just the timing we can complain about? There are some things that will probably not change. Like specialists will not go away most likely. I personally don’t mind them. Just so you know not EVERYONE is against them. I don’t mind if they go away but i am ok if they stay. This is BF2042. Previous games were different, the next one will be different again. That’s ok. Even if the majority of people complain about specialists here, there are tons of people who don’t, and they are just fine out there playing the game, they don’t even know this forum exists. Glad the changes are coming, the game gets a second chance. I love the game, and want to see future BF games. I rather play this as is then RPG games or farm simulations etc. ✌️(Nothing wrong with those either, my game is BF)

not releasing a game till it is ready is not the same thing as releasing it, pissing off a huge chunk of your player base because of missing things "legacy components" then having a long * period of no communication then a long delay for more changes/content (how long, no one knows because they didn't put hard dates on anything). that hurts the game by driving people away
there are NO dates or hard information in that blog post. they gave us nothing other than saying we have to wait.
i don't understand how you think releasing the game in the state it was in then having no communication then having long * delays for year 1 content is acceptable
