@MurkaZzzand I think many people voicing defense here forget that we paid for a product that was advertised and expected to deliver a certain product, based on past performance, but failed to do so and instead released something that was certainly not ready for consumption. They are not doing any favors, they are correcting what was already paid for. Thats just business, or should be.
Now I will admit that I do like many aspects of the game and continue playing. I think it has a lot of potential and yes, I can be patient for the corrections and functionality to be coded in. But in my mind, the sense of urgency from EA should be communicated and some good faith made to keep the audience.

You have amnesia. Almost every BF game is buggy at launch and in a rough state going back 20 years. And DICE has supported every BF game, going back 20 years, with ~18 months of bug fixes, improvements and content drops.
Your amnesia seems to happen within weeks becasue you also forget that EA provided a beta for everyone to play, they offered a 10 hr trial for $5 thru EA Play, they have a no questions asked ~48 hour refund policy, and they communicated what was going to be in the game beforehand. Also you forget you weren't forced to buy the game at launch. You forget that within days if not hours, Youtube and reddit are littered with footage and comments on the state of the game.
Must be tough having amnesia set on so quickly. 🙂
- @trip1ex You sure do assume a lot, rather than ask questions to understand.
My memory serves me just fine. I have been playing this franchise for the past 20 years, and I recall all the patches and updates to improve the game. What I do not recall is any of them missing major key components at launch, and after having paid full price for a release, not a beta. My opinions are based on my own observations and experiences, not whats on reddit, youtube, or any other medium.
It appears based on your snarky tone that you are just trolling and not adding any real value to the discussion. And if you expect that a company release a final version at full price, but fails to deliver the advertised expectation, the real problem is you. Let me sell you a flashy new year model car that I show you a picture of and when you get it, there are no wheels or seats. Just be patient and dont complain, you didnt HAVE to buy it, right?

They always patch their games and add content. And there is no major component missing in 2042.
I don't know what the explanation could be otherwise.
@trip1ex @You say: You must have amnesia because they always release buggy games. Everyone always complains. They always patch their games and add content. And there is no major component missing in 2042.
Uhm some major components for me: squad management,Voip, team difference look, too few guns, roadmap ,persistent server, server browser, all-chat, ?
This aint bugs, just rushed.... Usually they have a plan for where they are going..
