I can see this from both sides.
On one hand, you have someone who is thinking about their employees who I have no doubt have been working hard and were likely promised a much deserved rest. They are also being realistic about some peoples expectations that things can simply be added and changed to the game in short order. They are obviously considering a lot of the feedback in including those "legacy features" the game was missing from the start. ....but they need to weigh what is possible, what to prioritize, how it fits into their vision of the game, etc. Right, wrong or indifferent, they need time.
On the other hand, you have consumers, paying customers who are upset and rightly so. When you cut through the BS insults and irrational remarks, there is a lot of good feedback to be heard and fair statements about how EA/DICE have let down their fans. Some feeling cheated and misled. EA/DICE could communicate better IMO and quite frankly, I see the posted remarks a little off-putting. I get standing up for your employees taking a holiday break but they are not running a charity here. They took peoples money and if there weren't problems with the game, we wouldn't be having this conversation now. ....they could handle the fallout better IMO. They could keep people clued in on what is being worked on, etc. to help let them feel involved and appreciated.
Personally, I never liked their vision for BF2042 and still don't. My friends and I only bought the game because of Portal and quite selfishly, that's really what I want to see come through all this and thrive. If the other elements of BF2042 get fixed to others satisfaction, that's great but personally, it doesn't matter much to me as I simply don't see the other parts of the game being changed to the point I would be interested in playing AOW, HZ, etc. It's too far gone from the formula I grew to love to be honest. If it wasn't for Portal, I would made a hard pass on this game as I intended to do the first time I saw the reveal.
Anyhow, that's how I see it.
Come on guys, some of the things we do expect are very brutal. Like VOIP, all chat, permanent servers, bigger squads, better comma rose etc. They are new features that have never been tried and tested in previous games after all so just chill yeah.
I have a cool idea, how about during stealth melee kills, a huge crazy graphic pops up during the animation that says BRUTAL FATALITY!!!! and then also maybe a popular specialist can even be a character in a mortal kombat game!!!
- @GovntTookMyBaby How about no... this is supposed to be a game of realism. You wouldn't hear crap like that in real combat
