Dear DICE / EA - open letter
Dear DICE / EA, I'm writing this because I don't want you to get the wrong idea/impression. The vast majority of this franchice's fans are looking forward to a modern age tactical mil-sim shooter, ...
@GiSe87 For days I've been thinking on writing an open letter myself. Imagine how happy I was when I saw this post.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm having (somewhat) fun playing B2042. I know some glitches will be patched in due time, as almost every recent BF game had its own share of glitches. However, I agree some decisions made for this game basically killed the war vibe BF games always had. Specialists are fun, but how I'm supposed to feel encouraged to be a team player when I could just pick Angel with a Health pack and basically have all of my loadouts ready at hand? Why would I pick Falck if i can revive and reload my teammates as Angel? Sundance is fun because of the wingsuit, but her grenades? Meh... And that turret from Boris... Don't get me wrong, I love it. Specially because I'm on console and the turret helps me a lot on finding enemies. And also about consoles, still waiting for that KBM support.
Aside from specialists, why am I being INSTANTLY deployed when a match starts? I can't even hop on an EMPTY heli/tank/jeep/whatever vehicle, because the game WON'T allow me to. Fail to deploy on any vehicle and you will see yourself running to your nearest objective only to see them being captured by your teammates who were able to spawn on a vehicle, and then proceed to walk for another 5min only to get killed by a tank/heli/sniper. We have transport helis that deploys just with the pilot. Why would EA/DICE make such a stupid decision?
Speaking of walking... Map design is extremely flawed. They are, indeed, boring. Souless. And also unbalanced. Too much open space for few vehicles. And no base AA, making base * a lot easier for jets. Last match I couldn't even hop on the AA, as I was already locked by a jet. How is that fair?
I don't want to hate this game, or the devs, nor I want to discourage everyone to play this game. I know glitches and bugs will be patched. However, some things MUST change in order to make the game more balanced, playable and fun.
