DICE What are you doing to Battlefield

A rant!

Looking at the new "festive" skins, I don't understand EA Dice's thinking, do they think those new skins really fit into the tone of the world in chaos? Are we going to see a new skin for Michael K. Williams (R.I.P) character as a Christmas Elf with a cringe line added or something like that? I'm sure his family would love to see that. Do EA Dice think that we all have memory loss and that they think that we didn't see the short movie Exodus which had set the dark tone for the game?

This game is a joke now. Extremely bad launch with major performance issues on all platforms (for which there has been no apology), and on top of that, they are not really listening to community feedback. Sure, they are fixing some bugs and performance issues (these should have been sorted out well before early access launch btw) but when it comes to actual features which have worked well that have been in the BF franchises that they've removed, and when they get feedback on those missing features, EA Dice responds with half hearted implementations of those features. Example, end of Round scoreboard, when we asked for a scoreboard, and we haven't seen that yet.

I bought this game because of Battlefield, not because it was COD or Fortnite or a game similar to that. If I wanted to play those, I would be playing those right now and not be ranting in this forum. Never have I regretted buying a game before, especially £90 for early access. But now for the first time I'm definitely regretting buying this game. I don't even think I can get a refund even if I tried.

This will be my last Battlefield game, and I don't think I'll be playing this for game much longer. Battlefield Bad Company 2 was the game that got me hooked. I loved the destruction, the audio design, the map design, the vehicles & weapons, the classes. All of that good stuff that every other game at the time didn't have. This game actually made me quit playing COD and got me playing this franchise and no other franchise to this day. But soon I will call it quits on BF2042 and got back to BF4 & BF1 because they are genuinely better and more immersive games.

Battlefield 2042 doesn't feel like a Battlefield game. It's a poorly attempted shameful clone of games like Warzone, Fortnite, Overwatch and Apex. It's sad to see the player numbers dwindle in such a short time (steam numbers) and I really cannot see it lasting more than a year and a half. Unless they drastically change the current state of the game.

I haven't even delved into the lack of game modes, lack of weapons, and the lack of squad/team play which is an effect of the classes being replaced for the dumb specialists. 

That's it.

P.s I'm complaining about this game because I paid £90 for it. I invested my hard earned money into a product that should have at the very least met my expectations. It has not. If this was a free to play game, I wouldn't be here complaining.
