@LordVader666 it's also like they are intentionally antagonizing players by only "allowing" players to play in the manner in which they want the players to play (referring to having 24/7 maps for some modes and not others)

That's the part that really pees me off.
No server browser in AOW is such an arrogant move to make and a direct F U to the core playerbase.
I get that most players probably used quick match in previous games but they still gave the core, who keep the game alive between releases, the browser and map rotations.
To take that away and then tell us we aren't getting it back while telling us they are fully committed to supporting 2042 is insulting.
On a related note, a mod on the lowsodium2042 reddit sub who claims they work for Dice attacked the server browser from V and said they don't work because people 'have' to queue on servers and can't play!
He's also defended taking away Exodus Conquest 64 so everyone can get a chance to play different modes.
Interesting peak in to the minds of the people who work at Dice.

The only reason some people cant play some modes is because they REMOVE the friggin option to do it!
Wait, i reread what you wrote, was his excuse to FORCE people to "get a chance to play other modes?!?!"
Post a link please, i want a piece of this action
@PsubondI'm not sure I can link because EA might think I'm targeting the Dice employee.
"Because not everyone thinks it's the best and we rotate them so other people's favourite game modes get some attention and people get a chance to try them out".
The thread title refers to why did they take away Exodus and it's on 3rd page on my browser.
As for the V browser post, that was a few weeks ago and I can't recall the thread subject.

Sub 100K players with NO competition might as well be dead and it's all due to crappy choices. Wait and see what happens in a few weeks...
Acknowledging that BFV and BF2042 were failures sounds like hope for the future.
But it begs the question...if you knew BFV was a miss why were you unable to learn from that and make adjustments for BF2042?

If that is how the devs think then there is no hope for the franchise. It is now about doing what they want and not players having fun. all that "Getting a chance to try them out" is bull . I had a chance when there were multiple game modes. Didn't like it.
"Oh, you dont want to play the way i want you to? Well. Ill just take away what you do want to play in order to make you play this other mode"
Screw that. Ill delete the game before i play conquest on their lame * vehicle farming simulator maps

Im interested in seeing this stuff too, can you pm me the link? I cant find it (pm psubond as well. He seems pissed lol)

Acknowledging failures of the past in corporate speak is just a way to try to dupe people a second/third/fourth time to market the next game.
I saw it happen twice in World of Warcraft after the Legion expansion only for the next 2 expansions to double down on the bad things that people pointed out in Legion.
Talk is cheap, especially when coming out of the mouths of rich and influential people

“….have to queue….”
that’s literally what quick match is for. A queue for a popular server is literally a good thing. My god how dumb are people. Unbelievable.if I want to play on a popular server because it’s ran well and has good settings I will wait.
my god…unbelievable that that’s a justification.
”….take away..blah..so everyone can play…”
my god, they’ve let the crazies in the building if they don’t understand how whack that explanation is.
I wonder how long it will be before we see the new one?
@GrizzGolfI hope as long as possible.
For 2 reasons:
1) More support for 2042
2) So that we may stop getting 1 year of early access.

Lot of emphasis and resources are all thrown into implementing a Battlefield game for the mobile platform. Appears to be where many of the EA Execs believe there is another easy pot of gold for them to capture.
Personally its not for me and not happy about this.

let's call it what it is. we all know it. they have a tiny player base and they are trying to hide that fact but all they are doing is pissing off the players by playing the shell game with game modes/maps

I liked the old Battlefield 4 Tablet Commander App. It was perfect for when you had some extra time to kill and no computer/console access. You could help out your team with an eye in the sky and actually make a difference in how the rounds play out for users in game.
- @SeriousJuJu I made so many command decisions whilst sitting upon a throne of the purest porcelain. Made the victories that much sweeter. That was a great companion app.
- @SeriousJuJu yeah but it dumbed down what the gameplay of the commander can be like.
It was just a fad ride.

All OK and agreed @SeriousJuJu ,
That is actually how I only and ever played as Commander myself!
But that app was a supporting app to the core of the BF4 game and not the main show or place to play as deployed soldier in the game. Like we also had the BattleLog application on the side, where we could e.g. create/edit soldier emblems, default loadouts and establish/manage clan organizations. All those supporting social community functions that have been totally missing in the last BF games.
I know that not all were fans of the Commander functionality back in BF4 but at least EA/DICE also back then made it an optional choice for the server settings, so again it was up to the server owners/admins if this should be available or not in the game.
But building a Battlefield app for the mobile platform, where the mobile is the unique way for us to control our deployment of your soldier and play the main game itself in the multiplayer environment, that is not something I want to spend resources on and not a way of playing this game genre for me.

I can’t believe I didn’t know this tablet app was a thing. I’d z have loved that.
@FlibberMeisterIt is a fun idea on first look. But it made it so that people who actually play normally cannot become commanders without quitting and rejoining and vice versa.
It would had been better if there was a terminal at the base that the players could interact with

I really do hope EA is listening because @CyberDyme 's comment above nailed it 100%. If we could have all of that functionality back and packed into a single App outside of the core PC/Console gameplay. EA could knock it out of the park on the next BF title provided a definitive class system is used for the core PC/Console gameplay.
EA, please don’t ShamWow what community you have left with another gimmicky title. No one wants another dumbed down and unpolished FortniteField App version of the game, no one. Yes Santa Boris, I’m looking directly at you.
Maybe dice could get a few tips off the guys that made the new modern warfare because the amount of polish compared to this game is night and day
I'm all for taking chances but some of the higher ups definitely made some boneheaded decisions. The next title absolutely must have community tools and persistent servers
It's like you're in my head stop stalking me!
Agree 100% only thing I would add is don't go all goofy with anymore abilities/heroes/specialists/operators or whatever.
Think of the K.I.S.S. principle and the next BF will be a smash :D

It's an absolute no brainer on how to make the next battlefield a success.
They can still innovate with something like "the most advanced destruction" yet type of marketing bullet points and other such features like weather etc
