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.
Well this just shows how out of touch Dice/AE are with their player base and that is of great concern. They need to take urgent action to prevent any more of this nonsense entering the game and will have to rethink their future plans to roll out any more of this junk. They really are doing serious damage to the franchise. I’m on the fence here but could quite easily walk away after 17 years of playing BF games. If they pursue this new direction I shall be doing just that.
I've seen this many times and it's sad. Real fans WILL leave eventually and then a year later, when EA puts a "tree" skin in the game (as in "your character is a tree") and when someone posts "wtf" on the forum, it will no longer be understood, because the whole playerbase have swapped and new players will be like "git good, I want my tree character to shoot apples as it should nao!!!".
I'm very disappointed with this game, this game feels like an alpha. Barebones no guns no fun, why are some of the specialists so old why can I look how I want to look it's like an old-age home at war, this game is not worth the money even after the patches there is nothing here no campaign broken multiplayer so what did I just pay all that money for. this is not acceptable. I will no longer buy another BF or dice game again. the only reason I'm forcing myself to play this crap is cos I want to get some money's worth out of it but it's not fun and I do not recommend this trash
First off I didn’t buy the game even though ive always played BF. If you take away the single player experience a lot of customers will not buy it. loved BF1 and BFV. I was hoping originally that BF2042 would just be a new story to get immersed into, upgrade to graphics, enemy AI, maybe some small innovative mechanics. EA dropped the ball. They are turning the more gritty mature FPS series that took time, skill, was bold, into a kid friendly pop it into the micro transaction oven glitchy operator mess. I don’t even recognize the series anymore. It’s so far from the core battlefield ID that made it a niche.
Customers already have many choices for arcade FPS. Battlefield always did well because it was a more realistic, cleaner (HUD), dark/gritty interpretation of war that appealed to a more mature audience.
This is what gamers want (pay attention devs of all studios)
We want choices.
We want gameplay setting sliders the same way settings like music, volume, sensitivity are adjustable.
If there is a choice give us the option to make it.
Stop making very narrow restrictive gameplay choices.
Even physics sliders. Let us mess around with the different parameters of the game (non online) or change one or two and spend hours more in game after we’ve already beaten it.
Single Player games are far from dead. (See TLOU2,
RDR2, GOT, RE Village, Far Cry and a million more.)
Do not put out games without doing intensive testing before hand or delay the game we are happy to wait.
I hope that BF 2042 isn’t this year Cyberpunk but it’s looking this way. Give us the old BF. Stick to what makes this series unique, stick to the niche, ask for our feedback, listen to and apply what the community says.
It seems like a no brainer. Use forums that connect devs and gamers. Use questionnaires to gauge what the community wants and doesn’t in terms of new content or changes to the game. I want BF to succeed and I know a lot of work went into this game. There just needs to be a shift in the gaming industry as a whole in this direction.

@filthy_vegansIt's not just about the Christmas skins though, it's about the whole game itself. How bad the launch was, what little content we got in the base game, the performance issues across all platforms, the cringe lines, the feedback from the community that isn't really being listened to, the deadspace in maps, the lack of good features that were in previous BF titles at launch, amongst other things. And on top of that, a lot of people paid a lot of money for this. Everyone one of those people who paid for gold and ultimate editions, heck, even standard editions of this game should expect the game to work and be content filled and meet the expectations of those people. This doesn't meet the expectations of many people. Remember, they're making the game for us. We're the ones paying. We have a right to demand better for the money we're paying them.None of that justifies the kind of behaviour that I would scold my children for.
You'd scold your children for complaining about spending £80 on a product and getting something broken and sub-par in return? Great parenting skills! Seriously though, if you think this thread is simply about a single skin, you're missing the point. People have every right to air their grievances and should.
INB4.....
Yep, this is 100% COD inspired. Yuck.
@filthy_vegans You forgot the totally immersuve experience of a British Soldier being able to ride on top of a gold German Tonk on Fao Fortress carrying a gold Helriegel whilst being bombed by a pink Russian Bomber
@Prep768 I wore shorts to war, I'd post the photos but fear I may get barned!
