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, ...
Forum Discussion
@GiSe87 First of all, I would say that the Battlefield series is not like as you say a Mil Sim, it is a team-based action shooter with tactical elements, so in my opinion you have already disqualified yourself with this statement. And actually, it would not have been worth reading further but hey from time to time you treat yourself to the fun.
If you had read the lore, you would be clear why it is not a real Military base, stationary weapons or things like that, it also explains for me why there are no military structures in the classical sense. Yes, is a conflict between factions USA and Russia (which are the last big factions which fighting for resources) but they do not fight against each other by them self, they let the No-Pats fight for them, it is a proxy-war.
That’s why there is no real battle worn maps. Maybe you give the game website a visit and read it.
If you don’t like the Specialist that’s ok but imho you don’t need to identify with a character in a video game to play it. But hey everybody is different there.
Yes, it is questionable whether you should publish a game with so many bugs but unfortunately it is no longer a rarity but the game for me is not Broken or Unplayable on PC.
Related to “Legacy Features”, I am of the opinion that except for VoIP, these features are not needed or the lack does not affect the game play.
But hey DICE is working on some of these features so maybe be patient and wait what they will bring back into the game.
Classes and Rock Paper Scissor? This isn’t an RTS game…. 😉
And as I've said before in other threads, team play is not the responsibility of the game, game, classes or specialists, you as players are responsible for it. Also, In the rounds that I play there are plenty of Med Kits or Ammunition Drops and many revives.
Imho the maps are good yeah you can complain about it but maybe it is more to learn and adapt how to move and maybe it don’t fit your personal preference and expectation. If you get "sniped away" too often, then you have to change your playing style. Run and Gun doesn't work in Bf2042.
At least you didn't say that BF2042 wants to be like CoD and then bring only Close Quarter Maps as an example.
But unfortunately, I have to stop here even if I could still write a lot more here but after you have written a fourth time that BF is a Tactical Mil-Sim I have to stop
See you on the Battlefield

See you on the Battlefield
- @CountSero Why stop now? You're defending this company in each and every thread..
Whilst arguing you don't seem to be up to date with some of the things.. Dice themselves said:
I QUOTE
“Balanced rock-paper-scissors gameplay has always been the foundation of the Battlefield series, and our belief is that real-world money should not enable pay-to-win or pay-for-power.”
Unless you're being paid by them to defend the game, please stop with your nonsense talk about how it's "not broken and playable". Learn to see this from others POV and not solely your own. You seem to be active enough on these threads that you shouldn't have time to play.. With that said, you should see the amount of issues both for PC and consoles people is experiencing at this moment with the game.
Christ...- @RealB-EW Yes my son?
- @RealB-EW Yes, I know the quote from Mr. McArthur before the release of BF V back in the end of 2018 and at that time I already thought “ok did he played a BF game by himself”?
If there were a really good rock paper scissor balance it should look like this: Plane > Chopper > Tank > Infantry
But we Have this:
Infantry > Infantry
Infantry > Chopper
Infantry > Plane
Tank > Infantry
Tank > Chopper
Tank > Plane
Chopper > Infantry
Chopper > Tank
Chopper > Plane
Plane > Chopper
Plane > Tank
Plane > Infantry
So, everybody can kill everything….
The balance had always a huge issue in the Franchise and the Problems getting worse since BF3.
Why are there dominating Choppers in BF3/BF4? Because Rock-Paper-Scissor is not working in the way it should?
Why can you kill a Chopper with a Tank or Even a Plane? Because it is fun but not Rock Paper Scissor.
Why could you lock an Enemy Team into their Main Base? Because of ofn the good game mechanics and great map design ?
Why people are only playing around 3 guns for each class? Because of the great balance? (This fits for B3/BF4 over to BF1 and BF V.)
And guess what an Opinion is a personal view of things^^ and also, I don’t deny that there are issues and bugs 😉 But I have another perception about classes, and “legacy features”.
Oh, I’m in every thread? Mate this is a little bit pathetic😉 Or have you facts that I didn’t know? Till than it is just an exaggerated statement and assumption 😉
I think you only recognise me because I don’t have the same opinion as you or some other people hanging around here 😉
And I think I am able to see things from a different point of view but that does not mean that I have to be of the same opinion. Maybe bring me facts that convince me that we need the old system back.
And I don’t talk about bugs and performance these are things that dice is already working on.
Also, if you look back it took DICE several moth to bring a patch related to the older releases, now they have already done much more in less the time.
Be nice, play fair and see you on the battlefield
