EA/DICE respond to backlash

I know that I have an unpopular opinion about this topic but I’m 100% with the Developers here.

And yes, the behaviour of some of the so-called veterans, so-called OG Fans and so-called real Battlefield Fans is ungrateful. I guess that these people are all grown up Adults when they playing the franchise for 10 to 20 years now, depending when they got into the franchise. But they don’t act like adults more like kids that got denied their candies. If they don't behave even worse than kids with their insults, threats and disrespectful comments.

Then the expectation of these so called "fans" that the developer "must" designed the game in the way they want it and not like the way the Developers sees it.

So, I ask you who are you that you have the right to request such things?

As a player, we can express our wishes and it is great if they are taken into account but in my humble opinion, we have no right that a game has to be developed the way we want it to be.

And the cherry on tops the beloved “content creators” and espacialy some “BF only content creators” which are so ungrateful to a franchise that has given them an income for years that some of them could easily live from.

Don’t get me wrong I have respect if you can make your living from your hobby like playing a game and entertain people with it but when you don’t like things do critique with manors.

But no, they get tangled up as if it is a personal affront to them that the game is now going a different direction.

And instead of admitting to them self “hey the game is not to my taste” they are mobilizing their Minion Army to start a shitstorm on a scale like we have never seen before and spread hatred and negativity on social media.

The reviews on some platforms are a farce and many of them are copy and paste because it seems to me that these “minions” are not able to build their own opinion anymore.

I have said this before and I say it again here, that I was and in some parts I still be ashamed to be part of this community.

It is incomprehensible to me that many here complaining about things that were never advertised and about things which were so clear after the public BETA.

Then still to buy a game if you already know in which direction it will go (and you know that you don’t like it) and then still have the expectations that the personal taste and preferences will be met. And then complaining that they have burned money... then I ask you, have you been forced to buy this game after information we all got from the Beta?

Then the complains bout that the developers are not changing and patching things fast enough and that they have gone on vacation.

I think BF2042 has more patches received in the first 5 weeks of release than any other Battlefield before.

Also, they have listened and gave us 64 player conquest and 64 play Breakthru.

Even then, many had nothing better to do than complain that the maps are garbage, the balance is stupid and so on.

Yes, it is a bummer that games have issues on release but I’m not able to design, program and realise a game.

With my little knowledge in programming, I know how complicated is to Program even the simplest things sometimes.

So, Patience is a Virtue and I’m willing to wait and give DICE more time.

Sorry for my rant but I think sometimes we all should be a little bit more thank full, also we are still talking about a video game.

See you on the battle field

@Stew360 The way the game plays, specialists, weapon handling, movement, etc are what feel like COD. Even the weapons seem to be tuned to operate at COD engagement ranges. The almost total removal of destruction is also more like COD than any BF in years. All out warfare just feels like COD MW Groundwar (but actually seems to be worse).

The large maps and 126 players become almost irrelevant when combat is clustered around small points on the map, making it feel like many smaller games joined on the periphery. 

I played BF2 back in the day (still have the disc) and it feels nothing like 2042, which is missing a lot of the features BF2 had all those years ago.

As for the BF3 CQC maps being close to COD, that was really only the size of the maps (the majority of which were still bigger than equivalent COD maps). They still kept core features of BF that again are missing from 2042.

Removal of features while trying to ape popular features of other franchises is not evolution, it is devolution. Even then implementation of those features feels bodged (At least COD MW had different specialists on the two sides, allowing hardcore to exist).

I have loved the franchise since BF2 and BF2142 and hope that the game can be pulled back from the brink. Sadly I just don't feel it is possible, or that there is even the will to try (I hope to be proven wrong, but won't hold my breath).

It's always easier to release a unfurnished Game and apologize afterwards. Promising updates and fixes. Lifeservice with future Content and more exiting things to come, yet when it comes to communication about what's up ahead, devs go quickly radio silent.

At this point they should give all Players the year 1 pass for free...
