Same, never been a fan of Live Service and unless it is completely overhauled I never will. ☹️

I hope the next live service has more than 1 map per season. Maps are the #1 thing I'm most interested in from a live service.

After maps comes new vehicles, weapons, then cosmetics. In that order.

    Totally my sentiments too, it's maps that keep the game fresh and add to the ganes longevity.

      yea...let me know how that next game goes cause i'm not buying it.  i don't like this business model.  bring back the premium business model (i've always liked premium model and pushed back against "but you're splitting muh community").   either way i spent about 100 bucks for the game but with premium i got a LOT more value for my money

        Me too, I would welcome the return of the Premium Service, overall way better value for money imho.

        You knew what you were getting and when you were getting it.

        Instead of the 4 new maps we have received from launch we would have had 5  DLC drops with 4 maps in each,, so 20 new maps.

      @RayD_O1 But new maps don't matter much, if you have no consistent way to access the maps you fancy in the moment in the mode you enjoy most.
      In the past the community took Battlefield beyond the vision of the original design. But this is no longer the case, since EA and DICE appear to sabotage the community at every corner.

        You make a very valid point. The Premium Service would need to run in tandem with the ability to play all the maps in rotation like we had previously.
