This is it, I'm out. I tried to hold on but this is not Battlefield and I'm sick of pretending it is.
To whoever enjoys it, enjoy. Enjoy playing this game that used to stand out from the rest but now follows the trend of Apex/Warzone/Fortnite with its specialists and whacky skins catering to kids who like to floss everyday of the week.
It's officially over, we've lost Battlefield.
All games going the same way.
I’m a hardcore gears of war player, of which used to be a dark, more mature game, that’s going completely the wrong way also with silly Fortnite emotes and skins.
Nice... but shouldn't this belong to category fanart?
I had to google that because I was so convinced it couldn't be real.
These peoples heads are so far from where they should be. They clearly have no idea what their player base wants from a battlefield game. They had a sizeable chunk of the gaming market sewn up. They had a very profitable segment that they exceled at in the past, no one came close. All they had to do was build on it. But they had to go off and chase a rainbow to be the next Fortnite. They won't be. They're pretty much trashing a nearly 20 year gaming institution that people loved. It's actually really sad. This is probably just the ultimate culmination of the decision to sell out to EA back in the day.
I uninstalled the other day. I'd had enough of firing it up for a couple of rounds every now and then thinking maybe if I just try something different, it'll click but just end up having a miserable time. I thought maybe the patch might be a ray of light but it doesn't look like it. It'll be months (if at all, which I really doubt) before it's something worthwhile.
They've got a Mount Everest to climb. I thought maybe they'd at least get to base camp with the patch. But it looks like they're still in a tourist shop in Kathmandu trying to decide whether flip-flops or crocs are the best footwear for the expedition.
I have the samt thoughts... Have been a BF fan from the beginning but maybe I am to old for this direction Bf now is taking.
There is a Early access game called World war 3 that seems intresting.. 12$ at steam...
I find this just so embarrassing, so shameful. Been a fan for so long, this really hurts..
The specialists where a bad Idea for this franchise, this just reinforces that.
So embarrassed, I wish Battlefield didn't go this way.. It just not right.. ☹️
Its like you been in this wonderful relationship for 20 odd years, then suddenly they go Crazy and lose the plot and they rip your heat out leave you empty...
This whole game was just a Bad idea from the start... I feel so sad and embarrassed. ☹️
@MatsPalatsNr2Agree WW3 is an amazing game, a return to old BF. They have amazingly detailed maps unlike 2042 bland emptiness. It will be a free to play game when it releases in March. It may be time for the BF fan base to move to World War 3 when it launches. It's an Indy studio yet it looks to have more polish than 2042.
All loyal BF fans its time to move on and go to another game WW3 launches on console/pc in March (early access right now on PC) Even Halo is more realistic and gritty compared to whatever 2042 has become
Also just to point out the next BF game even if it is better wont be in this 'modern' setting it will most likely be either be a another historic shooter maybe a Vietnam? or ultra future 2142, so those of us who were excited for a modern day setting they ruined it for us. Earlier this year it was confirmed its a shortened release cycle so 2023 is the next game, so this games life cycle is about 1.5yrs, 2042 is just going to be used as a skin selling gap filler game, it will never return near to where people hope it will in that short space of time and support will be dropped by fall next year
Stuck around for Portal but I am done with Battlefield. I have far too much respect for myself to play this cringey, childish game that is clearly designed for 10 year olds. I'm not even going to talk about other game design issues like lack of classes, teamwork, vehicle movement, no destruction, map design, legacy features etc..
The skins they released today is the icing on the cake for the cartoonish specialists, cringey call outs and their end of round quips.
This is my last post in the forums and I won't be playing this game or any future BF games as the direction is clear. I'd like to say goodbye to all the wonderful people on here who I interacted with over the past few months
EA and DICE, you destroyed my favorite franchise you absolute clowns.

It's going end up a nothing on it's current course. It will have alienated all the players who've been it's core market up to now and it won't make a dent in the market it's trying to get into by imitating other games. A game that no one wants.
That's what you get when the people who are making the decisions have no real interest, passion or imagination - an empty, hollowed-out sad mess.
