But please Dice, with the next Battlefield iteration go back to what makes a Battlefield game because this isn't it. We appreciate you trying to improve upon Battlefield, but trying to reinvent the whole formula has been disastrous. This has only accomplished alienating your loyal fanbase driving away more than 90% of your playbase within months, and they aren't returningThis is because no one asked for a fast paced Call of Duty/Hero shooter hybrid, but it's what we recieved and it looks like you won't be changing that anytime soon. Like the game or not 2042 has been a complete dumpster fire, the majority of the players have completely given up and some have already boycotted the next Battlefield title.I beg you, play the older Battlefield games and build from there. Do not go in the same direction you have taken 2042.For my fellow Battlefield fans I truly hope you are having a good time within the game and out, but for myself 2042 is rotten to its core.2042 is not Battlefield and your fanbase deserved better.

@RayD_O1It's classed as a failure DICE/EA had all hopes on mobile pay to win game style system.It did not work out how they expected.Any player who pre ordered BF2042 deserve to be called stupid if they pre-order the next BF game.Once bitten, twice shy.I will not pre order will wait for release and then if ok find cheapest way to purchase the game to give DICE/EA as little money as possible.

@Tank2042Man wrote:@AJ_ClickzMeh, my gripes are mainly C5 spam, vehicle balance and flying bat girls.Other than that I've fallen back in love with the game since I upgraded to next gen especially since I switched to the Heat shells in my tank.The splash damage against infantry is so much better than the Mpat and taking on other tanks who have the Mpat shells equipped takes a bit more strategy and effort.Though now I've got to relearn how to take out choppers successfully again on a regular basis with the slower shell velocity.Glad you're enjoying it mate, granted it has had improvements here and there but the core of it for me I just personally can't stand. I'm currently playing Battlefield 1 and it's unreal.

@AJ_Clickz We really did get scammed. When I first heard about 2042 I was excited, but after playing it felt more like a COD game. Only bought it because I believed 128 players would have larger battles and bigger destructions (similar to BF4) but sadly no.In fact the 128 Breakthrough was pretty fun but for some reason it was "to chaotic to be tactical" wtf lol? Never knew BT was tactical.Season 2 was said to have only 1 map again so I guess Jeff was right about the game having a skeleton crew, meet the bare minimal legally, then pull the plug on support (hope I'm wrong).Vehicle limiter is dumb and using the same weapons get boring (still waiting on those portal guns).Overall the game is OK after a couple of updates but FAR from good. Next Battlefield was said to be another hero shooter as well so I keep playing until 6 days in Fallujah and Arma 4 comes out. Battlefield just isn't what it used to be thanks to greed.Remember, this was a "love letter to battlefield fans"What a joke

We bought a unfinished game released by a company who has no shame.EA/Dice can improve the game as much as they like but the damage has been done for nothing more than pure greed.Dice would be pushing nft's and all sorts of gameplay advantages now to those willing to pay for it had the game been at least a bit decent on release.This game was based on a mobile game structure after all.To the players saying it's getting better so it should it could get no worse.Any of us could have made a better map than hourglass what a dump of a map that is.Dice as a company just are not Dice of old and it shows with the lack of respect it showed towards it's customers.

If past form is anything to go by then they will put the next Battlefield game on sale at a reduced price over the Christmas period following launch. This happened with Star Wars Battlefront II due to poor sales following the messy launch with the loot crate fiasco, and then with Battlefield 2042. I was one of the chumps who pre-ordered BF2042 so I will be waiting until the Christmas sales before buying any future title. At least that will allow time to see how it is received by critics and players.
FWIW I have mostly enjoyed BF2042, even though it has been very frustrating at times. I first played on PS4 and did most of my progress there, until I was able to buy a PS5. But I've found the next-gen version much worse than the old-gen, mainly because the maps are way too big and because of Crossplay (I have no beef with PC players, it just isn't a level playing field). But Patches 1.1 and 1.2 have broken the game for me because the hitreg has become much worse, I can't get kills no matter how many rounds I get into an enemy. An FPS game where you can't get kills because of the system is no fun at all.

PS5--I'm a casual and play for fun. I would highly suggest that any console player with the option to install the PS4 version do so and see if your numbers improve. No, the game certainly doesn't look or play as good, but you will get a more accurate assessment of how well you stack up against other players when you all are on equal footing. Crossplaying against PCers puts us at a disadvantage in this already badly executed game.

@AJ_ClickzWe went through the same with BFV, please do not just hope that the next game will be better if a present game cannot be finished properly.
There is also clearly a divide between what EA DICE considers good ideas and us
