Bought but refunded
Yesterday I bought 2042. Tested it with EA Play at launch and didn't enjoy that level of insult so within a week I just gave up and didn't resub or buy the game. Haven't really thought about EA since...

No server browser, overpowered aircraft, bullet spread. You missed nothing. good luck in your game search.
CDNAngrypeng...DICE/EA consider a charge back as fraud and will freeze your account. Be careful.
To this day, I cannot believe that a developer or group of developers thought that adding spread to the weapons was a good idea and considered a QoL update.
@AdamonicMost likely corporate decision made to attract more crowds or to stop people "But I shot him 100 times and he killed me in 2 shots" from complaining.

They continually try to make the game more noob friendly, take any skill out of the game. At this point, they should just make everyone bots and you can only spectate as your bot is running around the map.
- @Adamonic Problem is that it doesn't work. Adding spread or "randomness" works both ways. Only difference is that good players will find a way around it.
The other way Dice have been adding "crutches" for bottom % of players is by adding some obnoxious way they can kill people without receiving fire.
BF1 - Ilya bomber that can wipe out 20 people simultaneously. Elite pickups? Mortar trucks?
BF5 - MMGs. It was actually insane how many campers were in that game just sitting the whole game with trash visibility and no spotting in some dark corner and waiting for someone to run by. Also AAs. In that games, AAs were stupidly powerful. Nothing we had before or since.
2042 - Rail tank and gun. Now they turned LMGs into MMgs since using them on the go is just bad. But bipotting in a corner is too easy.
And an abundance of "AI" controlled gadgets (That thankfully were removed/nerfed) doesn't make life any easier for a normal player who wants to kill people in a fair gunfight.
