@ZathexI agree with you completely, as a Bf veteran myself (since BF2) i can tell you that this ain't my cup of tea. I've clocked in 190 hours and most of the time i've had to force myself to play it. There was nothing else to play so BF 2042 was my only option, i've played SOOOO much of the other BF games, didn't feel like going back to them either, so i played BF 2042 from time to time, not really having fun.
But then came out COD MWII and let me tell you, it's daaamn fun and i'm not even a COD guy, always have i been a BF player. But this COD is just awsome especially the DMZ mode, I highly recommend you to try it, very fun with friends AND it's FREE.
I started with BF3. BF4 was great. Hardline was ok, not much a fan of BF 1 and 5. 2042 was the return to BF I wanted until they F'ed it up with the patch. I don't care what anyone 'thinks' it means to be BF, but games are allowed to evolve. This game started off in a good direction. Now after so many drastic alterations I dunno if it can be rescued. One change screws 3 other things going wrong. Vehicles are prioritized over infantry which is awful considering how many are on foot at any given time. Gadget restrictions ruin teamplay and adaptability. Instead of new maps we're getting remakes of launch maps that weren't terrible.
I want the game to go back to where it was. I already waited through 2 duds for a better BF, don't make it 3. Despite having a backlog I enjoyed having a shooter to play occasionally, now I don't.
Played in a clan in BF1942, preordered it. Rented a server with my clan mates and we had laughs and cry's but always a good time, I have purchased every BF game since then. BF4 was the last true battlefield IMHO. I have barely played any of the games following BF4 everything following it was a downgrade.
What made BF great in my opinion was rock/paper/scissors game play, everything had counters everything had purpose.
BF2 was my favorite, the desert combat team helped make it and it was a tight game. BFBC2 was amazing with its destruction and a fun game and then came BF4 "Even though it's netcode suffered a little" IMHO.
If Battlefield continues down the path it has chosen, I doubt I will be involved. as the last 3 games were not fun IMHO. There is little community involvement in them.
Just an old guy's opinion.
