DLC....??
Does anyone have any understanding of when we get more content for this game? Being one of the idiots who spent their hard earned on the ultimate version of 2042 I feel we have been totally mislead a...

I've heard rumors that the reason we're not hearing anything and development/comms are silent on all fronts is because EA is closing DICE or selling it off and they are under hush orders due to the reception of their recent games. I was wondering why so many bugs that have been reported 3 months ago are still in the game and it makes sense now. Why there's no battlepass news... why "season 1" begins FIVE MONTHS (counting Nov) after launch. Otherwise to have such intentional silence all the time... who would intentionally draw so much ire and hate... self sabotage makes no sense.
Quick reminder, that at this stage of release, with BF4 we already had China Rising being released and the next DLC was already hinted and a full roadmap was available for all DLCs. Let that sink in. Aside from that, BF4 had more maps and weapons at launch anyways (although yes it was also buggy but still).
The data mining was said to be 1 new map (lol) and 1 new specialist.

Yeah imho the 7 maps we have currently are totally inadequate.
Especially as we are made to repeat the same map many times in a row, or do not get the chance to play certain maps for days due to MM deciding what we can / can't play.
The few maps we have in BF2042, have gone stale very quickly and it would take 4 new maps (like previous BF DLC's ) to rectify this problem.
Unfortunately I know this is very unlikely any time soon.

Where did you hear that rumor?
Not saying it couldn't be true, but I seriously doubt it.- @M0istGamer ah rumours? no facts? Wow…..
Somehow, I miss a link to a YouTube video, a content creator on Twitter or reddit.
Btw. I heard rumours that I work for EA/DICE but guess what this is not true.
Also, Patching takes time and I remember times that patches took them month before they released them.
Als, If I were DICE I wouldn't give out any more information in advance. Only at the last moment when you bring it. Because no matter what information they give us, someone has to write some garbage about it or process it in a toxic video.
Be nice, play fair and see you on the Battlefield@CountSero That is the problem when communication fails, the rumour mill takes over.
I started BF with BF2 and BF2142 (still have them in the desk drawer) and have played every game apart from Hardline since (decided not to after the beta). While there were some things I didn't like as much with BF1 and BFV (hero skins and the fact that apparently British troops in WW2 wore US uniforms) I could still enjoy them. 2142 is the only BF game I have played that I gave up on after two days (with not much play in them). I have returned a few times, but just find it bad (and I am not referring to the bugs), give up after a game or two and go to play something I can enjoy. 2142 just seems to have lost the spirit of BF and tried to ape other franchises (in the hope of more profit or stealing players?). By copying others and ignoring what made their own franchise unique, they have lost a huge amount of veterans and not gained many new players. If you follow what others do, you are of necessity behind them. Yes they made their promise of increased player count a reality, but seem to have removed almost everything else that was BF to achieve it.
I keep checking for updates in the hope of some good news, but we are back to the communication blackout (of real news, plenty about limited time servers on Portal that give little or no progression because they apparently didn't realise it could be abused before launch).
While the OP is indeed working from rumour, I simply don't see any progress, or at this point any way to save 2142 (without a viable player base, why would they bother?).
- @CountSero Well, if they give us garbage then we'll speak about trash...
Giving information is something they should definitely be doing because their franchise is hitting all-time lows at this point without even a peep as how they are planning on fixing it...
Patching does need time, time that could have been saved by decent QA and playtesting but seems like they'd rather use their community to do it for them after they've paid.
You can't expect to keep your playerbase happy if all you give us is a barebones patch, a work-in-progress scoreboard somewhere in february and no info on anything upcoming...
- @M0istGamer In the case that something like this happened... surely anyone who ordered a premium version of the game that granted access to season 1 content would be in line for a refund given there hasn't actually been anything. You have not gotten what you paid for.
