We all know that BF2042 has issues with performance, bugs and QoL things but DICE is on the way to patch things in and bugs out (last patch beside the mouse bug is a good step!) and I enjoy my conquest games
And as many here stated the Specialist have a purpose with their passive and active ability, so there are more than only a skin😉
But I think you have to see the other side of the medal, some of you have only paid only for the main game and maybe for the map packs and played what? hundreds or thousands of hours? So, you have paid less than a dollar for an hour playtime.
Do you go to the cinema? and an hour is worth what? 7€-8€? (And not every movie is worse it to see it on the silver screen)
And subscripting service like Netflix are only working because you pumping constantly money in….
DICE has supported their games over several years without most of player have put another cent into it.
Do you think that fixing bugs, maintain and hosting servers is paid from nothing?
Can you still play BF3, BF4, BF1? yes? so they don’t shut down the master server to search for games? they don’t shut down the server for matchmaking? They are still hosting servers?
And the argue “yeah buddy but EA is a greedy multi-Billion Company” is a little bit off, EA is not only DICE or Battlefield 😉. Even with the fact that EA is a multi-Billion company DICE has a fixed budged for every game which includes also the maintenance after the game is released
But some of you always demanding fixes, balancing and more content or new innovations when the game already released for two or more years….
How many of you have bought cases in BF4? How many of you bought skins inf BF1 or BF V?
The specialists maybe are also designed with monetizing skins in mind but as many said here if EA/DICE want monetize skins they had done it already more easily. (Looks at BF V 😉)
I think with the specialist they created the possibility to have impact on the battlefield, each player can create now their own classes a can be more even to each other on the Battlefield.
You can see that is works because some of the players which used to their class or where dominating are complaining that there are “too many threads out there”
Seems to me that some fans\veterans and new players are quicker to adapt the new gameplay
And yeah, I also see games as a service sceptical but it can work and then I’m fine with it to support the game more and put some money in
So, let’s wait and see what the future will bring^^ which maps and weapons DICE will bring us
Gl & HF on the Battlefield
