I agree that the way they call these core elements "legacy features" is a bit of an insults.
Looking at the discussions here, I think everyone has a fair point however, Dice is fully responsible for causing this mess. Its like when your favorite Metal band suddenly writes really bad pop songs. Sure, evolving is part of everything. Im all for it. heck i even like the specialists abilities now because they do add (If somewhat unbalanced atm) fun new tactics that I enjoy (not really their look and sound tho). But you can't come out with another BF game, offer half of the contend an 8 year old predecessor had, remove everything that made BF well BF really and not expect some backlash. To top insult with injury, now calling those legacy features. Its laughable and really shows how detached they actually are.
Im curious if word of mouth actually will hurt sales. I really want 2042 to succeed but expected a lot better and my expectations weren't really over the top.
The rock band metaphor is quite good
