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 Aboslutely agree on every point.
You missed to talk about SQUADS and how in this BF2042 they are useless most of the time. It's unbelievable and absurd how EA decided to force us to be in a squad with lone wolves or dumb campers and the only way to get rid of them is to just quit the round and start over. In previous Battlefields, you could create and control a squad, which gave you the opportunity to have people play with you as a real team and get better rewards. The destruction of squad management helped kill off team play.
You also missed to talk about how much fun it was trying to collect all the dog tags by chasing enemies with the knife. Now you will be very lucky if you can stab someone. In addition to the stabbing action not working properly, the animation takes so long that you eventually get killed trying.
Ribbons and medals were the perfect excuse to alternate playing with different classes, weapons, vehicles, gamemodes.
Now the only objective of the game is kill, kill, kill, kill... Just to finally get an outfit o charm.
We can go on and on about how great BF3/BF4 were and we'll all agree that BF2042 is the biggest betrayal for fans of the franchise. Big fraud.

@Ti4_S4ndYGameplay-wise, BF3 and 4 are not a better choice over BF2. But the scope of games and amount of content between 2011 and 14 is simply amazing. Look at ESL league and modded servers, some of the "features" back then.
Teamplay is reduced to a minimum in BF2042 because of a lack of Squad Management, classes, VoIP, Platoons, global chat, dedicated servers. Also, open maps, Ego-centric abilities like wing-suit, and a harpoon that helps you to get ahead of squadmates, at least vehicles may pick You up.
Absolutely zero, no incentive to play as a well-organized Squad or a clan.
